taylor. you may have heard different people. kurt volker. alexander vindman. but to have it comprehensively put into this perspective is the first time most people, even those who have been the most devoted watchers are hearing. for the very first time, you're hearing which agencies, what are the documents that underlie what we want to hear from? which witness brought this in? it's really laying out the case and that is really the whole reason you are having the impeachment trial. to say here is not just a narrative. here is what has actually happened. here is the chronological timeline. here is the -- the background information you're going to need to know. and here is why the documents are so important. but this is the first time -- well, second time in two days -- but the first time in the trial phase of this you are having this really big, important moment to connect the dots. will it change their mind, ultimately, don? that is a he a different story. >> i'm just going to go around. change minds? >> no. look, i think that what senator kennedy said was smar
