washington, d.c., along the mall that's supposed to be america's demonstration of democracy, the washington monument, the lincoln monument and down at this end the capitol of the united states. these are all actions taken in the wake of what president trump did. it shows you why the house managers set up their arguments the way they did. they started well before january 6th to show what the president did in the lead-up to that speech that he made were also relevant to this argument about incitement. so the question is are there any republicans that are going to be convinced here. is there some cover the defense team can give to some republicans who don't want to vote to acquit the president but are feeling conflicted or troubled about it. that is the one answer that's still outstanding. we've had a little praise for the republican presentation by people like lisa murkowski. we also believe we know that murkowski is likely to vote to convict this president so there's still that big question hanging out of what mitch mcconnell is going to do. the reporting that i'm pursuing over the course of the next

he tried to in many ways to celebrate george washington by creating an impossible monument for george washington. on the other hand, there's always a sign of latrobe of his life in the united states and he is a critic of what is going on. first of all he hated our politics. and no doubt we can all understand that today. he thought that american politics were cramped and local. he talked about political mania. he also hated our social system. he went to dinner parties in philadelphia and founder that the butcher was there with him, and that offended him to no end. there is simply no doubt that we would call latrobe ferocious english snob. but nonetheless, one of the most important of his criticisms of the united states is slavery. this is a famous, famous watercolor that is used in many textbooks. it has latrobe's cynical title, overseer doing his duty. and here we have an overseer standing, and the enslaved women working hard. latrobe was a critic of american slavery, and yet on the other hand, twice in his life he certainly had men who took care of his horses in his carriage when he
