>>the harder for president trump's case the legal argument that a former president can't be put on trial in the senate heading into the trial's first day it's clear. mister trump's republican allies agree there are a lot of questions that i hope are going to be addressed a lot of them have to do with the basic. president setting nature of trying person is no longer president the former president's lawyers insist this impeachment trial is politically driven in a 78 page pretrial brief released today, writing quote instead of backing to heal the nation or at the very least focusing on prosecuting the lawbreakers who stormed the capital. the speaker of the house and her allies have tried to callously harness the chaos of the moment for their own political gain we fight like al and if you don't fight like how you're not going to have a country anymore that speech delivered by then president trump before rioters stormed the capital is the basis for democrats key president trump incited them all to attack the seat of american democracy

hard for the u.s. to take any kind of a position on the world stage in support of democracy and the freedom of its peak of countries people if we don't enforce ourselves here. >>and a new poll from the associated press to suggest that in the wake of the january 6th insurrection only a fragment of americans believe democracy is still thriving here in the u.s. just 16% of americans say democracy is working well we're extremely well. nearly half think democracy is not functioning properly. while 38% say it's working only somewhat well while americans are a bit downbeat on the current state of democracy, they still believe in it. 80% say that to democratically elected government is extremely important to the nation's identity. texas congressman ron wright has passed away becoming the first sitting member of congress to die after. >>getting covid representative wright died last night after he was admitted to the hospital some 2 weeks ago his

we have valentine's day to worry about for guys it's a big deal we don't want to blow it sure helped a lot pressure lot of pressure okay then stressed for weeks. >>all right, we have to you just take the gifts it then goes both ways doesn't does well ok can't wait to hear more about sunday and monday coming up in sports draymond green was he going to do for valentine's day. >>i'm not sure he did this with 5 seconds left in the game it had everybody scratching their heads. maybe except dream on. jason dumas us he's state about valentine's day so steph everybody is some people worried some people not we'll be back right after this.

>>4 sports brought to you by xfinity. >>the warriors have been painfully average this year in fact in 24 games this season. they've scored just 2 more points than they've given up every time they try to muster up a winning streak. they either blow a lead or lose to a team they should beat. >>they haven't won more than 2 in a row nor have they lost more than 2 in a row and repeat and. >>tonight it happened again, but and lisa's klay thompson birthday and would you look at

that no walking boot on his foot all signs are that he's right on schedule re having that torn achilles and for staff being staff and then he does the i don't know what banstead is but he's been doing a lot of dancing this year warriors up 9 points after one. now dubs built a 14 point lead early in the second, but it did not last you want a memory got them back in the game with 16 first-half points. he had a heck of a night. later in the quarter kelly you're a throws down through the contact was a great pass from andrew wiggins he made the foul shot he had 18 points in the 1st half warriors up 5 4th quarter jobs down 10 but step brings them back. nice tough reverse layup there it get back to within 2 seconds left murray gets the loose ball behind the arc you've got to run him off the 3 point line in this situation because of things like that san antonio goes out for murray had 27, but staff was not because back with the 3 of

his own staff at 14 of his 32 points in the 4th including that trade last hands down 3 in. could have been what they grew up. throws a shot up there are still 5.6 seconds left on the clock steph curry clearly looks a little dubs waste another great performance from steph curry but after the game i asked steve kerr and dream on what happened on that final possessions lost the game. >>he thought they were going to and that's why put it up to you know thanking you get through 3 free throws out this first generally to not probably my or informing the team, this first don't usually so like smart is >>most people seem to come to was actually you so first far.

>>what i disagree with you there over to the college ranks, san jose state taking san diego state's closing moments of the 1st half oakland's khashoggi johnson gets his own rebound finishes through the contact nice play there. but this was the play tonight do not get in front of shot on the break. so do things like that let's take another look became a dunk fest in the 2nd half check out the rebound get 8 points 13 rebounds it's another day in the office workers shot johnson san diego state rolls 85 to 8050 for your final. all right richard sherman you want to play 2 more seasons in the nfl and they likely won't be with the forty-niners sure will be 33 in march and has long expressed his desire to play until he's 35 years old. the problem is the niners likely won't be able for him.

kyle shanahan said back in december that it would take quote a miracle to bring sherman back fred warner and trent williams will likely be paid before anyone on the niners. they are due a lot of money, especially trent williams that he's going to be a free agent so it was a heck of a run for richard sherman he was second team all pro a few seasons ago only played 5 seasons this past year because of that calf injury but obviously he is all class will be a hall of famer one day but he'll probably finish his career elsewhere. th the power of three is everywhere. but you've never seen it like this. now with xfinity internet, you can also save on wireless and streaming. get internet that's packed with power... ...and up to $300 in savings with xfinity mobile. plus, stream your favorites with a flex 4k box included. it's three ways to get more and save more starting with xfinity internet. can your internet do that?
