(papers rattling) i was glad i was able to get voltaire in there yesterday. you know, anybody who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. tabitha raskin: oh, yeah. jamie raskin: and i believe that. well, if you had to pick one aphorism to characterize the trump administration, it would probably be that one, you know, because it was just inevitable where it was gonna go. tabitha raskin: yeah. jamie raskin: and the guy had his inauguration and started talking about american carnage. it was just a projection of his career, his destiny. it looks good. you want some cinnamon? tabitha raskin: yeah, i need cinnamon. i need- jamie raskin: i'll find you some cinnamon. jamie raskin: when officer hodges was, you know, caught in the door and he was just howling, it was like torture, i did see mitch crying and kind of wiping away tears. tabitha raskin: here's the cinnamon jamie raskin: but the republicans, man, they're a tough nut to crack, let me tell ya. you know, people were saying to me,

"how are you going to get 67 votes?" i said, i'm not looking for 67 votes, i'm looking for 100 votes. like i'm looking for just like a major breakthrough in public opinion in the senate, where people say this cannot be america, we cannot have a violence-inciting, pro-insurrection demagogue constantly threatening our democracy. i mean, there's 100s of millions of people in the country. anybody could be president. why do we have to go back to him after he's committed high crimes and misdemeanors against the country? so, we'll see. schumer: the senate is now ready to vote on the article of impeachment. clerk: mr. mcconnell? mcconnell: not guilty. clerk: mr. mcconnell, not guilty. ♪ reporter: it's over. twice tried, twice acquitted. reporter: a majority of senators,

including seven republicans, voted to convict former president trump. but it was not enough. leahy: the senate, having tried donald john trump, former president of the united states, by one article of impeachment... jamie raskin: i've had every possible emotion about it. i think i was crestfallen at the moment i first heard it. leahy: the acting sergeant at arms will escort the house managers out of the senate chamber. jamie raskin: i really thought we might have a 100 to zero verdict. i really thought that we had created such an overwhelming cascade of facts that the wiser republicans might say, this is our chance to save our party, this is our chance to get out from under the thumb of donald trump. and seven of them did the right thing. we needed 10 more. and so we might see a replay in 2024 of the 2020 election. (crowd chattering) i think we convicted him in the court of public opinion, and i think we convicted him in the eyes of history.

so he's been turned into a pariah, i think, in national politics, and yet trump has tightened his control over the republican party. right now you've got majorities of republicans in both houses who are saying that essentially they're willing to go along with whatever donald trump says. that wouldn't be a problem for us if we just had majority rule in america. but in the gop, they're manipulating every anti-democratic lever of power there is in order to entrench minority rule against the majority. that's the struggle in the country today. ♪ we have our work cut out for us. we have to organize the majority to be politically engaged and active

and to register to vote and to vote and not to allow republicans to steal elections. ♪ the future of democracy has not been written yet, and it's up to us. ♪ i want to thank all of you for coming and sharing our grief and sharing our joy about the life of tommy bloom raskin. ♪ hi phoebes. hi graeme. women: how are you. jamie raskin: so good to see you guys. ♪ how are you guys. how are you guys. woman: hi. jamie raskin: hi beautiful. ♪ woman: hi (woman moans) ♪ jamie raskin: i have lost my son, i've lost something so fundamental,

so elemental in my life, i'm not sure at times that i even recognize the world. ♪ (jamie sighs) a little part of each of us died with him that day. in my case it was the belief that everything would have to be all right in the end. that the beautiful and the true would have to triumph over all the evil and the chaos. i've lost that sense of absolute inevitability in happily ever after. ♪ but if part of us died with tommy, a big part and a far more...
