joining us, claire mccaskill, michael steele, both msnbc political analysts. also joining us our own impeachment analyst, danoubt about whether this is a true legal process, the fact that three jurors are consulting with one party's lawyers the night before their presentation to work on strategy should disabuse you of that notion. but, yes, it is purely at this point trying to provide republican senators with a hook that they can go back to their constituents to explain their vote to acquit donald trump. that is the goal of trump's attorneys today. it's not to, you know, create a reasonable doubt. that's of course not the standard here. but it still could be a defense, right. you could imagine a scenario where they say, look, the evidence that you have that they put together, you know, relied a lot on sort of hearsay, there's no testimony. a lot of it is somewhat speculative and tangential. we don't have any evidence that donald trump actually did know that there was violence planned when he spoke, and you need to be able to connect him to the violence. and certainly he didn't expect this to happen and there

michael steele, both msnbc political analysts. also joining us, msnbc impeachment analyst, because you need one these days, daniel goldman. danpleting that linkage and proving i think to the jurors and the public that without donald trump there would be no deadly insurrection. is that how you see it? >> yes. everything today will be trying to cement that link between donald trump and what happened on january 6th. you know, yesterday was essentially evidence day. we saw all the evidence or a lot of the evidence of the lead-up, the buildup to the january 6th riot, the riot itself, and all of the different ways that donald trump was at the center of that riot. what they will want to do today is apply that evidence to the law. so we will hear a lot more about the actual article itself, what it requires, as garrett said, what incitement is, and they will link the legal language back to the evidence. they'll sort of apply the evidence to the law. and i expect that they will take on and prebutal so to speak some of the expected defenses from the president, try to frame them in a way they can take down, so to speak. so i expect it wi

michael steele. i want to come to you, chuck, on this point of what i think dan goldman is describing as an unsound legal argument. and i know we have to caveat all this with it isn't a normal court. but it should approximate one in service of the constitution and in honor of the police officer who lost his life. but it feels farciccal. it reflects donald trump's obsession with the news media, with the premeditation. that seems to be jamie raskin's comments, was there a reason to believe violence would ensue, absolutely. >> and dan has the law. it is really easy to go after dan. another question, was it foreseeable, was it a reasonable expectation? but i do want to make a slightly different point, nicole. let's get away from what the criminal law requires. and let's get away from what the first amendment protects. let me give you an example on that second thing. imagine a president who on martin luther king day donned a ku klux klan robe and hood and put a nazi swastika arm band on and then marched down the avenue. brandenburg would say that's absolutely protected. it first amendment protects speech. it

wall street journal bureau chief dan michaels explains the paris agreement and how it is viewed worldwide, and what's next for the united states. >> the first challenge would seem to be when he meets his counterparts to discuss the paris accord is rebuilding u.s. credibility. no one will doubt he carries credibility on this. no one will doubt president biden's sincerity. but viewed as a whole, probably others will be looking to see if the u.s. is really going to take measures that will address climate change and also commit money to helping other countries address climate change. >> find c-span's the weekly where you get your podcasts. >> lawmakers held a memorial service wednesday for capitol police officer brian sicknick, who died due to injuries he received during the capital attack in january. this is 40 minutes. >> ladies and gentle >> ladies and gentlemen, please rise for the arrival of the family of officer sicknick. >> sanctified this place with your holy presence and send upon us the comfort of your spirit, that as we mourn alive too quickly taken from us, we may find joy in know
