i speak to you today as president of the united states. at the very start of my administration, and i am sending a clear message to the world, america is back. the transatlantic alliance is back. and we are not looking backwards. we're looking forward together. it comes down to this. the transatlantic alliance is a strong foundation. the strong foundation. it is how our collective security and shared prosperity are built. the partnership between europe and the united states in my view is and must remain the cornerstone of all we hope to accomplish in the 21st century. just as we did in the 20th century. the challenges we face today are different. we are at an inflection point. when i spoke to you as a senator and even vice president, the global dynamics have shifted. new crises demand our attention. we cannot focus only on the competition among countries that threaten to divide the world or only on global challenges that threaten to sink us altogether if we fail to cooperate. we must do both. working in lockstep with our allies and partner

states was attacked on $911.00 you our allies joined us to fight al qaeda and the united states committed to consulting closely with our nato allies and partners on the way forward in afghanistan my dh ministration strongly supports the diplomatic proc the process is underway and to bring an end to this war that is closing out 20 years we remain committed to ensuring that afghanistan never again is provides a base for terrorist attacks against the united states and our partners and our interest our european partners have also stood with us to counter isis just this week nato defense ministers and door significant expanded training and advisory mission in iraq which will be vital to the ongoing fight against isis we cannot allow isis to reopen and regroup and threaten people in the middle east in europe and united states and elsewhere and while the united states is undergoing a thorough review of our own force posture around the world i have ordered the halting of withdrawal of american troops from germany i'm also lifting the cap imposed by the previous administration and the number of u.

it was the united states that left the deal. it was the united states that violated the deal. it was the united states that punished any country that remained respectful and compliant with the deal. so it is for the united states to return to the deal, to implement its obligations. iran never left the deal. iran is in the deal. iran has reduced some of its commitments in line with the deal. the way to go back to full compliance on the part of iran is for the united states, which has totally deft the deal, to come back and implement its obligations. now, it's clear it's a decision that president biden and his advisers need to take. whether they want to break with the failed policies of president trump or whether they want to build on his failures, if they want to build on his failures, they will only get failure as a result. >> let me ask you something that, you know, am i reading this correctly. there have been demands in the past that in addition to the united states coming back into the deal, iran should be compensated for the u.s. withdrawal. is it fair to read the khomeini

many in the united states believe nato, to have nato -- in the interest of the united states, i am not the only one who is hopeful there will be a number of low hanging fruits which the united states and european allies can pick in coming months, returning to the paris climate record for example, at least offering to enter into a discussion with iranian's, there would be another one, starting arms-control discussions with the russians etc.. there are enormous opportunities waiting to be seized in coming months. >> host: that reflects the thinking here too, early on in the new administration, it would be an effort to harden some of that low hanging fruit. one problem that i do see with us european relations and maybe it is a part of a larger problem, when european countries meet and their prime ministers sign agreements those are seen to a legal force and intergovernmental agreements are binding on successors and so on, the us constitutional system, there really is no way a president can unilaterally legally bind the united states to anything and only the treaty ratification process can

it was the united states that left the deal. it was the united states that violated the deed. it was the united states that punished any country that remained respectful and compliant with the deal. so it is for the united states to return to the deal, to implement its obligations. iran never left the deal. iran is in the deal. iran has reduced some of its commitments in line with the deal. the way to go back to full compliance on the part of iran is for the united states, which has totally deft the legal, to come back and implement its obligations. now, it's clear it's a decision that president biden and his advisers need to take. whether they want to break with the policies of president trump or whether they want to build on his failures, if they want to build on his failures, they will only get failure as a result. >> let me ask you something that, you know, am i reading this correctly. there have been demands in the past that in addition to the united states coming back into the deal, iran should be compensated for the u.s. withdraw. is it fair to read the hamane statement

the united states i find to be underappreciated. i -- i say at the time not just as an american but empirely. we have our challenges, too we have a lot of them here at home and in the region and one of the changes in the region i public diplomacy, seat asians don't have a good sense of what the united states contributes to their region or the activities the americans undertaking their region, either educational sphere, cultural sphere sparks commercial sphere, security sphere, and some countries doesn't want it nobody that malaysia does a lot with the united states in the security realm but don't want to take about it. same with indonesia. so the u.s. presence is actually underappreciated. it's the footprint is very deep. our soft power appeal, the universities are ongoing attraction to southeast asians and security assistance, nobody comes near the united states in what we provide for most countries in the region. even the commercial realm. american trade is not up there with the chinese. the chineses 587 billion last year. the uni

i don't think there's any perception united states that russia has to clear superiority over the united states and i think you see there's a fairly balanced relationship. in the nuclear streeter and i think you know why do you buy the ministration wants to have negotiations for what we've talked about strategic stability they want predictability they want they want to secure situation in europe in asia and with russia and they want to be able to focus on. other issues to a certain extent of the bilateral relationship the more general. welcome across the uk were all things were considered i'm peter lavelle to remind you we're talking about the by good ministration and china. ok let's go back to michael in washington let's look at the really the big picture or maybe the questions that the obvious questions that are on people's mind i'm thinking michael right here you know this is just a china does not threaten the united states militarily it doesn't but china does threaten american hegemony and the 1st 75 years the united states has gotten used of its head to monic role in the world and i

must have been a phenomenal united states senator. he doesn't-- he doesn't talk about ordinary people, as we do in the law we apply the ordinary person standard. he talks about extraordinary people. he talks about gallant men, was the name of the-- of the-- of the album. and now, of course, in a sign of the times, gallant men and women. and i would watch television, and i would watch senator goldwater or senator byrd or senator mansfield, senator dole, and i would be fascinated by these great men. and everybody's parents say this when they're growing up, "you could grow up to be a united states senator. you could do that. they're just men and women like you are." well, then everett dirkson tells us that they're not. they're gallant men and women that do extraordinary things when their country needs them to do it. yut senators really are different. and i have been around united states senators before, two of them in this room from pennsylvania, i like to think are friendly toward me, or at least friends of mine when we're not political

counsel for the 45th person united states i was assistant d.a. for such a long time i keep saying prosecutor but i do understand the difference mistress. before i begin i want to comment on the outstanding presentation from our opponents and the emotion that certainly world up in congressman rascon about his family being here during. that terrible day. you will not hear any member of the team representing former president trump. anything but in the strongest possible way denounce the violence of the rioters and those that breach the capital of the very sight of the law of our democracy literally the symbol that flashes on television whenever you're trying to explain. that we're talking about the united states instant symbol to have an attack is repugnant in every sense of the word the loss of life is horrific. i spent many long years prosecuting homicide cases catching criminals that committed murders i have quite an extensive experience in dealing with the aftermath of those things certainly. as a fop member and a member of many police organizat

states today the united states of the overwhelming c. in air power it's likely to remain that way for at least a generation as 2050 it's hard to tell and it would partly depend on whether china feels they need military force but what's very clear is china's very successful in business globally and so i think it's the business rivalry that actually matters is the real substance behind the arguments about national security it's a fact that chinese telephone service and internet services are vastly cheaper than americans and therefore that their global competitor and washington knows that telecom internet is the future and if it is china's winning you know influence in telecom internet around the world that's going to affect the cultural and business environment of the 21st century well how and in beijing how do you feel about when james has said there because that's essentially my view because i mean look at him american media elite for the last 12 months and last 18 months it went from the c.c.p. ok and then it went from president xi to t

the united states u.s. officials, when they reassert the united states as a pro-democratic actor, need to have us -- is part message and strategy. it starts with a strong dose of humility and realism and says, we are struggling. we are facing this challenge. u.s. democracy has been alienated in different ways. we are on it. we will integrate our efforts at home with our efforts abroad in the spirit of humility and solidarity. if the right messaging is done, people will hear it again. democracy is in trouble. the united states needs to step up. this is a big opportunity to do so. and has to be done in ways that are consistent with the reality of what's happening with u.s. democracy at home, what the situation is abroad. we bring those things into alignment. the biden administration will be able to return the united states to a valuable place as a major supporter of international democracy and contribute insignificant ways to american security and prosperity by doing so. things very much. ♪ >> i want to tha

they had three years to move the families to the united states. it was expanded a few months later to include the fiancees. and that bill was a three-month temporary visa for the foreign fiancees. they had three months to marry or else they had to return home. it did not begin until after the passage of this bill and the first operation war bride sailed from southampton to new york had 750 war brides on it. the act addressed the chinese wives on a non-quota basis. but they did not get japanese wives yet. that would come in 1947. as you can see, i feel that this was a pretty big impact of world war ii. the queen mary, which used to transport soldiers back and forth to england, i know that my husband's grandfather sailed on the queen mary when he was heading for "d"-day, and training in britain. the queen mary took about 12,886 g.i. war brides to the u.s. from great britain. it was not a pleasant trip. the sea could be rough. my grandfather-in-law said the worst sea legs he ever had was sailing on the queen mary and being sick. these were foreign wo

i want you to know the united states will do our part. we will stand with you, fight for our shared values. will meet the challenges of this new moment in history. america is back. so let's get together and demonstrate to our great, great grandchildren when they read about this that democracy, democracy, democracy functions and works. in together there is nothing we can't do. let's get working. thank you all very much. guy: delivering his first international speech at the munich security conference. talking about the need to rebuild trust. leaning heavily on his atlanticist ideas that we know he falls so dear, but then talking about the security architecture of recommitting to nato, but then moving into some more difficult areas, the relationship with russia and china. alix: right, talking about, we are going to work together, common goals, but it is russia and china that will be the difficulties. it doesn't look like the u.s. will sanction the companies building the nord stream 2 pipeline, but that definitely has to be a topic of the con

united states senators really are different. i have been around the united states senators before. two of them in this room from pennsylvania i like to think are friendly toward me or at least friends of mine when we are not politically adverse. and i have been around their predecessors. and one thing i have discovered, whether democrats or republicans, united states senators are patriots fst. patriots first. they love their country. they love their families. they love the states that they represent. there isn't a member in this room who has not used the term "i represent the great state of" fill in the blank. why? because they are all great, but you think yours is greater than others because these are your people. these are the people that sent you here to do their work. they trusted you with the responsibility of representative government. you know, i feel proud to know my senators. senator casey up here in the back. the senator to the left. it is funny. this is an aside, but it is funny. ever notice how when you are talking or you hear others taing about you when you are home in

the attorney general of the united states. or any part of the person that the other party considers to be a political danger to them down the road because of their abilities and being articulate and having resonated that shows they are capable for unit and take eric simply because i think is a tremendous career. he might be somebody that some republicans might be worried about. so maybe, the next person go after his eric. and the republicans, they might regain the house in two years. history does ted to suggest the party out of power at the white house does well in the midterm elections. certainly, the 2020 elections of the house majority narrative. so the members of the house, they have to worry about these consequences because they do not react, to whatever the problem of the day is, somebody in that jurisdiction there, somebody is going to say if you make me the congressman. i will react to that. and that means the city member has to worry about it because the returns are short. that is not just the members of the house of

here in the united states and emphasize that he didn't see the united states taking any additional steps in order to get to those talks but did say that there needed to be a dialogue everybody needed to come together in order for any progress to be made thank you very much kristen salumi in washington thanks christine. meanwhile the u.s. special envoy for climate has governments to do more than the ban minimum on climate change also speaking at the munich security conference john kerry said environmental degradation threatens lives livelihoods and global security is warning comes after the u.s. officially rejoined the paris climate agreement on friday 3 months after its formal withdrawal by the trump administration went into effect a former secretary of state said if efforts to reduce carbon emissions are not stepped up the whole world will suffer the consequences or paris agreement was signed by a $196.00 parties in 2015 coming into force around a year later the united states was the only country to withdrawal it wants to clap but the it wants to cap the global temperature rise to less

states today the united states of overwhelming c. in air power it's likely to remain that way for at least a generation as 2050 it's hard to tell and it would partly depend on whether china feels they need military force but what's very clear is china's very successful in business globally and so i think it's the business rivalry that actually matters is the real substance behind the arguments about national security it's a fact that chinese telephone service and internet services are vastly cheaper than americans and therefore the global competitor and washington knows that telecom internet is the future and if china is winning you know influence in telecom internet around the world that's going to affect the cultural and business environment of the 21st century well and in beijing how do you how do you feel that when james has said there because that's essentially my view because i mean look at him american media elite for the last 12 months and last 18 months it went from the c.c.p. ok and then it went from president xi to the add

make the united states take a step back and all of them. they'll be open for negotiations. in point of fact there really is no feasible tactical or even operational defeat that would cause that reassessment if anything if the japanese are successful tactically operationally it would only cause the united states to redouble its efforts and so i don't think that there's really a feasible way one of the worries. that the japanese government has is what's going to happen in mainland china. and so if you're looking at where the japanese think they can do the most harm it's going to be those mainland china forces because the forces in the imperial holdings in the pacific those are largely cut off and they're going to wither on the vine and the home island forces aren't going to get in the fight until the invasion happens. and so where the japanese hope that they're going to be able to maybe redression is possibly in mainland asia. from your vantage point looking back. what what qualities and truman do you think it was? that brought him through th

security question mark united states in. the north has been achieved so much more needs to be john and i think people have to be at the wrong solutions my name is on the top sheet on and i'll look into double. digits at the. this is news and these are our top stories joe biden has made his 1st major global appearance as u.s. president speaking at the munich security conference biden stressed washington's commitment to restoring transatlantic ties and global relations after 4 years of the trumpet ministration he pledged to work closely with european allies to tackle defense. and climate change. german president frank falter steinmeier has led a ceremony of remembrance a year after 9 people were shot dead in a racist attack in the western german town of high now time i urge germans to unite against far right extremism relatives of the victims of say they still have more questions than answers after a year long investigation. nasa rover perseverance has sent home some spectacular images from mars one shows the rover descending

establishing state relationship to the soviet and united states. it is just that there's no formal diplomatic relationship. it is also serving as a ad hoc embassy. now the other thing that is true about this is that it is a arm up the come enter. that is sort of the nickname of the third communist international. the third communist international is formed in moscow, march of 19 1919, the whole idea of it is to protect the revolution in russia by spreading the revolution abroad. and they are telling exactly what they stand for. we're going to struggle. we want to use whatever means necessary to overthrow the bourgeoisie order and to put in the communist state. even though martins claims that he has no revolutionary activities going on in the borough, when the committee reads his organization reads his business they ultimately carry off two tons of communist propaganda. so again, just because you are paranoid doesn't mean that someone is out there to get you. now as the state and local officials are cracking dion on suspected radicals they are also t

the united states, this has come up before, the united states we contribute about 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions, that means 85% is coming from other countries so how do we prevent the impacts on the united states in our own self-interest from climate change? how do we prevent additional sea level rise and temperature change. we need to do that through our own actions and very importantly by encouraging actions by other countries because 85% of the impacts are coming from other countries. how do we do that. we need international agreements like the paris agreement and in order to us to expect other countries to react in kind we need to lead by example so that's what i would say, senator. finally, in terms of particular net zero goals in order to stabilize the climate we need to get to net zero as quickly as possible. exactly when that is, is depends how technology is sold, and enfold. >> there's nothing enforcing about the paris accord, that's the problem. there's nothing enforcing it whatsoever. >> yeah, the paris accord is based as described earlier on bottom up commitments by co

states pretty words are a useless when when the united states prevents iranians from importing math masks importing ventilators importing caskets importing back maxine's and or or even importing their machines they need to produce their own back scenes this is this is a regime that has no moral boundaries and the europeans are just there in iran itself arielle itself how much of an urgency is terror to actually get to dispute resolved while the iranians want to the problem to be solved but there's not a dispute the iranians know that the iranian government. did what it had to do it signed an agreement with the united states and the p 5 plus one the iranians gave concessions now and and biden was a part of that administration now biden is behaving like a godfather he wants to gain new concessions and that's not going to work because the iranians know barrie well that if you start appeasing the the americans they will only demand more and more and that is a very dangerous slippery slope so the iranians are saying you stick with the deal abide by the deal we abide by the deal we're not

the united states' first propaganda ministry. wilson turns to george creal, a muck raking kansas city journalist with a little bit of experience in advertising. he will write his book, how we advertised the war. and creal understands right off the bat that on this type of mass, total war you have to mobilize the passion of the american people to get them to willingly sacrifice for the war effort. now, he does that for a couple ways. first and foremost, he's dealing with fear. fear of the enemies foreign. look at the images he is using here. you sure as hell don't want to run into this guy in a dark alley. the american people are starting to believe there are creeping menaces in the world setting out to destroy american society and way of luf. and there is spy mania that goes out throughout the nation. he is also dealing with enemies domestic. the official government policy at this time is 100% americanism saying that half of our problem in the nation going back to the fear of the immigrants are too many people consider themselves

to continue with the deal if the united states left sanctions if the united states go by. and of course compensates for what it has but. it is also important to remember that. any any nation has a very bitter memory very recent bitter memory of their child general you know being killed under the interim administration do you have a memory of their. each a terrorist group being supported and trained by the u.s. government and most. it's too especially when you know there are scientists so it is it's very difficult to. imagine any nation but trust us. it's a little bit of changing. and thinking it's interesting. to know what i'm thinking is one of the hardest things is we've been talking around this and and who moves fast and he does what fascinates me little steps towards working out some kind of agreement but how do you get that done reza has a 90 year or 2 suggest if you're a it's the who are talking to is for the united states and for your honor because analysing it from both countries from the want to have to choose to their domestic constituents were national are us en

they cannot then substitute oil for the united states, or west africa which has a different chemical composition. or chemical properties. it's a fact to bear in mind. oil is expensive to produce, but it is not scarce. i want to stress this. oil is not scarce. how much do pay for a gallon of gasoline? back home it's about two dollars and 50 cents. i think about the same here right? >> think to yourself a little bit higher. let's say three dollars a gallon, so how many liquids out there in the world, you can buy for three dollars a gallon? go to the supermarket, and tell me how much is gallon of milk cost? how much would a gallon of pepsi, cost? petroleum is very or relatively speaking, rather inexpensive considering how much we use. but the important thing to bear in mind, is that there are high barriers to entry, in terms of finding the oil and producing it, and the economies of scale, the marginal cost of oil goes down the more you produce it. but it is tricky to find and produce oil in the first place. the other point, that i want to make here, is how much oil is there? if i had th

it's refers to the president of the united states in this constitution. only a sitting president may be impeached, convicted and removed upon a trial in the senate. the president and article 2 section 4 and the president in article 1 section 3 identifies the same person. if the accused is not the president in 1, he is not the president in the other. no sound textual interpretation reading. it's a normal rule of statutory construction that identical words used in same parts of the same act are intended to have the same meeting. inwillingly as it may be, senate democrats have already taken their position on this matser. the accused is not the president. the text of the united states constitution therefore does not vest the senate with the power to try him and remove him. a factual untilty. can't be removed. house managers contend the senate has jurisdiction over the impeachment because despite the fact that he's no longer the president, the conduct the former president is charged with while still in office, that is not in any way alter the constitutions cle

i speak to you today as president of the united states. at the very start of my administration, and i'm sending a clear message to the world, america is back. the transatlantic alliance is back. and we are not looking backward. we're looking forward together. it comes down to this, the transatlantic alliance is a strong foundation. the strong foundation. i want our collective security and our shared prosperity are built. the partnership between europe and the united states in my view is and must retain the cornerstone of all that we hope to accomplish in the 21st century. just as we did in the 20th century. the challenge that we face today are different. we're at an inflection point. when i spoke as a senator and as vice president. the global dynamics have shifted. new crises demand our attention. and we cannot focus only on the competition among countries, that threaten to divide the world or only on global challenges that threaten to sink us altogether if we fail to cooperate. we must do both. working in lockstep with our allies and part

states and advocating the overthrow of the united states government you've got a right to do that under the 1st amendment but if the president spent all of his days doing that uttering the exact same words expressing support for the enemies of the united states and for overthrowing the government is there anyone here who doubts that this would be a violation of his oath of office to preserve protect and defend the constitution of the united states and that he or she could be impeached for doing that look at your president united states you've chosen to side with your oath of office and if you break it we can impeach convict removed and disqualify you permanently from holding any office of honor trust or profit under the united states as justice scalia once said memorably you can ride with the cops and root for the robber. and if you become insider in chief to the insurrection you can expect to be on the payroll as commander in chief for the union. trump was the president i'd states needs warner preserve protect and defend the constitution he had an affirmative binding duty one that set

so this is where the united states feels it's best to engage and so that's why the white house press secretary says that this is the message that the president will be delivering as he speaks to world leaders. and also this is an issue iran's nuclear deal issue those specs it's come up both in the g. 7 meeting as well as that munich security conference what kind of line do we expect the bible ministrations to take home what we've already seen a very important 1st step being taken by the united states as of thursday it had said that his secretary of state would be participating in the p 5 plus one meeting with iran this is certainly a stark contrast to the actions we saw under donald trump the other thing that we've seen is this kind of olive branch be extended by the united states in terms of undoing another policy of the trumpet ministration with respect to iran and that is lifting those restrictions on iran's mission in new york for the united nations so these are kind of the gestures that we're seeing but at the same time what we're also seeing is a very clear understanding by the

states move forward of raising prosperity and in 1862 and in 1963 the economy of the united states grew faster than every other western country. also growing faster than the soviet union itself. and in the final analysis with the citizens of the united states to assume the burdens of leadership. here in the rain in fort worth and texas we are going forward. thank you. >> talk about leadership and faith and leadership in the world and ambition here and abroad. talk about education and the importance of that. a very inspirational speech even though it was cold and rainy people holding newspapers over their head. he was received very warmly. with the chamber of commerce breakfast i think the ticket price is $2.50 you have to remember this was a campaign swing there had been some fractures in the texas democratic politics. that he and vice president johnson were on this to unit together the factions of the democratic party it's very much a political stopover. and with the chamber of commerce speech. and the role of aviation history or the new bomber approved for construction and mind you am

i think united states senators try to listen to each others views and i think united states senators try to do what's right for the country and far down is partisanship. in our system of government and if you read the federalist papers, we're very fortunate because the federalist papers were authored as an explanation for why it is the states, the original states should adopt the constitution. these were persuasive documents about why the constitution is a good thing because if the individual state legislatures didn't adopt the constitution, we would not have it, so mr. jay and mr. madison and mr. hamilton, they had an incentive to explain what they were thinking when they wrote it because they are explained to other erudite people who represent individual states why it is that they feel that this is the right thing to do, and, in fact, as many of you well know, madison had to promise that there would be a bill of rights immediately upon adoption or we wouldn't have a constitution. even then there was horse trading going on in the legislative body of the united states. the other day

in the united states of america. i know will turn it over to my colleague, mister lewis of colorado. >> mister president, distinguished senators. my name is joan and i represent colorado's second congressional district in the united states congress . like many of you i'm an attorney. i practiced law before i came to congress. tried a lot of different cases. some more unique than others. certainly never a case as important as this one. nora case with such a heavy and weighty constitutional question. for you all to decide. thankfully, as lead manager raskin so thoroughly explained, the framers answered that question for you. for us. and you don't need to be a constitutional scholar to know that the argument president trump ask you to adopt is not just wrong. it's dangerous. and you don't have to take my word for it . this body, the world's greatest deliberative body the united states senate has reached that same conclusion. in one form or another in the past 200 years in multiple occasions. over 150 constitutional scho

of the united states. you'll notice the person who's presiding is not john roberts, because they're not trying the president of the united states. perhaps the gold standard of the meaning of the constitution, commentary when the constitution was signed, said you cannot impeach a former official. >> john: hold on there for a second. >> sandra: the senate has now come to order. let's dip in and listen. >> the words of the new england poet james russell lowell, to provide our senate jurors with just one perspective. lowell wrote, once to every man and nation comes the moment to decide. in the strife of truth with falsehood for the good or evil side. mighty god, could it really be that simple? could it really be that truth, strives falsehood and good striving against evil? powerful redeemer, have mercy on our beloved land. we pray in your magnificent name, amen. >> please join me in the pledge of allegiance. [ pledge of allegiance ] >> morning business is closed, and the senate will convene as a court of impea

how did you end up in the united states? -- they end up in the united states? >> my father came here by choice. he wanted to pursue his dreams, have a family in the best country in the world. my mother, unfortunately, was forced to flee very different circumstances. she came with her mother, her sister, left her father behind. he ran a gas station in cuba. he chose tuesday to protect his business and eventually the castro regime came and took everything from him -- he chose to stay to protect his business, and eventually the castro regime came and took everything from him. my parents met in new york. if you were to ever have a greco cuban member of congress, it would be one from the state of new york where so many people come to pursue the american dream. they became small business owners. that was their american dream. and one generation later, i am a member of the united states congress. that is so special and unique, and we need to preserve that for future generations. host: what do you remember your parents saying to you about america and their view of it?

the united states senators really are. and i have been around the united states senators before. two of them them in this room from pennsylvania and i would like to think are friendly towards me or at least friends of mine when we are not politically adverse. and i have been around their predecessors. and one thing that i have discovered, the democrats or the republicans, the united states senators are patriots first. patriots first. they love their country. they love their families. they love the states that they represent read there is not a member in this room who has not used the term, i represent the great state of and fill in the blank. why. because they are all great. yes, you think yours is greater than others because these are your people. these are the people that said you hear to do their work. they trusted you. and trent with the responsibility of rep. government. i feel proud to know my senators. senator casey here in the back. and senator toomey over to the left. it is funny, this aside. it is funny, do you ever notice how when you are talking are you hear others ta

america is back trans-atlantic alliance is back the united states is fully committed. to deal with fighting global dynamics said shift in so many places in europe and united states democratic progress is under assault the partnership between europe and united states in my view is and must remain the cornerstone of hope to accomplish 21st century. also on the day it's been a year since a racist gunman killed 9 people in the german city of relatives of the victims say they still have more questions than answers. for me it's been a whole year of sleepless nights when it gets dark you lay your head on the pillow your head is filled with questions. commandant the frog. consumes your. welcome to the day joe biden has made his 1st major global appearance as u.s. president addressing the munich security conference declaring a renewed commitment to the transatlantic alliance he said he would work closely with european allies to tackle defense covert 19 and climate change is the biden is trying to repair transatlantic ties after 4 years of trouble collect but there are still imp

the largest group in the united states will be entered the war in the unite states are german-americans. in the first speech he gives to congress after the decoration of war, the -- the declaration of war, he makes it clear the government will not tolerate any disloyalty. while he is pointing here at the germans, saying, if this disloyalty comes up, it will be repressed with sternness. he is also thinking about labor radicals. it is interesting, that within a week of the u.s. declaration of war, one of the first things the government does is establish the committee on public information, the u.s.'s first propaganda ministry. a kansas city muckraker with a little experience in advertising writes a book called how we advertise the war. he understands why right off the bat that on this type of mass total war, you have to mobilize the passion of the american people, to get them to willingly sacrifice for the war effort. he does that for a couple of ways. first and foremost, he is dealing with fear. fear. of the enemies foreign. look at the images he is using here. you sure as hell do not wa

the united states after he's left officer? >> no. and no. [laughter] the answer is emphatically not. the text of the constitution to me is absolutely clear that judgment and cases of impeachment runs to what removal and possible disqualification. and so a former officer by definition can't be remostmoved that's the text. the text is supported by our constitutional history. the only president in history to have resigned is richard nixon and i think is all your viewers know either from history or living through it that president nixon upon resignation flew to san clemente california and that was it. the house of representatives which was considering articles of impeachment then stop the proceeding. the third if i may just say a wording the fact that the impeachment of trump now the second time, occurred when he was the president of the united states. one week before he didn't resign. before his term came to an end and accordance with the constitution and laws of the united states. but the article of impeachment had not been deli

things that happen in the united states impact the world. things that happen around the world impact the united states. the united states when we think about the civil rights movement, it was a movement against colonialism. they wanted liberation in india and asia and latin america and the caribbean. it wanted to end apartheid in south africa. we saw all these different networks of activists and human rights and civil rights organizations. certainly, malcolm x and martin luther king jr. were two iconic black civil rights and black power activists who visited the middle east, who visited europe, who visited africa. that is not surprising. the depth and breadth and intensity is really extraordinary, but we definitely have historical precedent. susan: there has been a number of times since the 1960's when there have been movements for social justice and protests in the united states. what do you think are the elements that make this transformational this time around? dr. joseph: i think covid-19, the pandemic and the fact that african-americans

of the united states. >> mr. president? >> the majority leader is recognized. >> thank you, mr. president. now for the information of all senators, emotions were filed this morning so we will proceed to the house managers presentation. we anticipate two, ten minute breaks and a 45 minute dinner break around 6 p.m. >> pursuant to the provisions the senate resolution 47, the managers for the house of representatives has 16 hours to make the presentation of their case. the senate will now here you, and recognize mr. manager raskin to begin the presentation of the case for the house of representatives. mr. raskin. >> thank you ver y much, mr. president, members of the senate, good morning, good day. as some people think this trial is a contest of lawyers or even worse, a competition between political parties. it's neither. it's a moment of truth for america. my late father once wrote, democracy needs a ground to stand upon, and background isn't the truth. america needs the truth about x president trump's role in inci

of the united states. he sat right where senator carper is sitting now. he found this point so compelling that he felt compelled to speak out on it, and during the trial, he concluded that the constitution must allow the impeachment and trial of people and parties who are not civil officers. and the only group that could possibly encompass was former officials like belknap, and of course, here like president trump. and just so we're clear, and full disclosure, this is another argument that was not addressed by president trump in his rebuttal. and we know why they didn't. because their argument doesn't square with the plain text of the constitution. there is one provision that president trump relies on almost exclusively. article ii, section 4. i'm sure you'll see it when they present their arguments. they'll argue that the language you see on the screen somehow prevents you from holding this trial, by making removal from office an absolute requirement. but, again, where does the language say that? where do
