we are doing a reenactment of george washington's crossing of the delaware river on christmas night, 1776. what happened here is one of the actually one of the most unexpected and daring military maneuvers of the american revolution. and the story is washington and the continental army, after having lost battles in new york and retreating across new jersey, came into bucks county in the beginning of december 1776. they encamped in several locations around this area, including the thompson neely house, which is also part of our park. and things were pretty desperate at this point for washington and the patriot cause. the continental army really needed a win. washington was afraid that the british were going to invade philadelphia and take over the capital. and he really knew that what he needed was a bold action. and after meeting with his war counsel, they made the decision that on christmas night, they would cross the delaware and march to trenton to attack a hessian outpost at trenton. as they began to march from the thompson neely house down here, a snowstorm started and the weath

but if papa tells me i've got to go listen to the senator from delaware i am going to show up so i did i will never forget sitting in that iowa caucus room that day and i didn't know who joe biden was walking in but i sure as heck knew who he was when he walked out. he does understand who we are and where we come from, stick to his values, cares about people and that is something that never changed and something i always looked up to and is why so many of you showed up today because you guys know that is who he is. the other thing you know about him is the same thing i know about him, he believes and hope, the was the kind of stuff we used to hear a lot about back in 2008 but also what we talked a lot about and he gets it. he understands it is about hope and the idea that if you work hard you shouldn't just be able to make a living you should be able to have a good life. and joe biden understands the difference. and also gets hope and the idea that your kids, your grandkids can get a good education and do better than you did. and the idea that god for bid you get sick you don't have to

for the trade deal increasing market access for m dairy farmes in delaware, those across the country to sell milk products like powdered milk to canada. financial trade commission estimates about this will allow for an additional $315 million in exports annually that is $315 million increase in exports just on the milk dairy side feels to canada every year. we evaluate as what it is, a trade deal i believe that it makes significant improvements on the agreements including the original nafta. if not stronger language to ensure that the obligations to all three counties under the multilateral environmentallt agreements including to the montrÉal particle can be fully -- i will come back and talk about that in a short while. thanks primarily to the democrats though it is no longer the case that the failure of one ratify can be used to prevent the others from being heldvent accountable for failingg to honr their obligations. environmental violations will be kerry as trade violations. so when the united states does bring the cases under the new nafta environmental obligations of those case

cornelius was trapped in the belly of a small ship, bobbing in the delaware with just a mile south of philadelphia, and a man had grabbed ten-year-old cornelius from the city's market, one hour ago, pushed a black gag into this mouth, tossed him into a wagon and hauled him here. and it was dark below the waterline, but ten-year-old cornelius could see just enough from in this ship's hold to know he was not the only black child locked down here. four other pair of eyes stared back at him. for other black boys. one looked about his size, probably nine or ten or 11 years old, like cornelius. two more were obviously taller and older, perhaps 14 or 15 years. the last of them was shorter and smaller than everyone else. might have been as young as eight years old. yesterday, all five of these boys had been free. but today they were slaves. they were prisoners of a gang of child snatchers who planned to sell their lives and labors, most likely to plantation owners in the deep, deep south. these boys abductors got away with this. ten-year-old cornelius sinclair would spend the rest of his life

is twice the size of texas, not twice the size of delaware, not twice the size of maryland, twice thesize of texas. an agreement to $88 million for environmental monitoring cooperation and enforcement the new nafta creates an environment an enforcement mechanism that gives environmental stakeholders an expanded role on enforcement matters. this will go a long way towards ensuring violations can be investigated and in a timely manner. i have aav friend who when you have to he's doing he replies compared to what? compared to the previous trade agreements that this body is considered new nafta and its implementing legislation of the strongest environmental provisions that we have seen to date period. that's good news especially for a trade deal under this administration. nafta include everything that my democratic colleagues and republicanan colleagues would like to see with her guards to environmental protections quite know, does not this new nafta failed to recommit united states for example to the paris accords. it fails to ratify the amendment that i mentioned earlier in the montrÉal

he has a solution of how he's going to handle delaware. delaware is a border state and it still has several hundred enslaved african-americans and a number of plantations and counties that favor secession. henry's solution is simple, he called together 300 employees of the dupont company and tells them you can either take an oath of allegiance to the united states right now or you can take your hat and get out. if you take the oath of allegiance you'll get a pay raise. that one is a pretty easy sell for a lot of these powder workers and as soon as he does that he forms these gentlemen into two companies of militia. with dupont and the workers the delaware company heavily depends on them and you've seized wilmington where dupont is located with a military force. so as major general henry goes so goes the state of delaware during the civil war. he's approached by the war department relatively early on because of the interest of the gunpowder industry and his known loyalty and they tell him about the problem they're having supplying enough sa

i come from the corporate state of america, delaware.ore corporations there than there are people, i think. really and truly. now the tax rate has been reduced to 20%. barack and i thought reduced. if we raise it to 28% and a number don't pay any taxes at ll that raises $730 billion. corporate america is making a lot of money, not just punishing, just pay your fair share and put a minimum tax, amazon, they pay zero, nothing. not a single cent because they are taking advantage of loopholes. pay the minimum of 15%, no matter what exemptions they have, they pay 15%, that raises a total of -- excuse me, that raises a total of $400 billion. these aren't things that your republican neighbors aren't even against. ask your republican neighbors if they should reduce drug prices. i like high prices. they should be able to quadruple whatever the drug price is. so, folks, here's the deal. we can provide for, without punishing anybody, just the rationonning tax policies based on the ridiculous changes this president made. we can pay everything from e

i'm from delaware, and our courts are known for their civility.vening unfolded at the tenor of the arguments being made. frankly, several of the folks who were making arguments in the chamber took a very aggressive tone, and i'm not going to characterize particular individuals. i'll simply say that i thought it was completely appropriate for the chief justice to remind some of the advocates that in their advocacy, they were using language and terminology about each other, about the senate, about some of the issues in front of us that was trending towards the personal and the sharp and the partisan. the tone in the senate has always been and tries to remain measured and civil, even in this most divided time. john, that's what makes it possible for us to continue trying to work together even when we are so divided. >> house managers as well? did you think they went too far? any of them? >> well, i think it was appropriate for the chief justice to admonish both sides at the moment when he did. >> senator chris coons from delaware, thank you for being

delaware in 1968 brought the case to try to get the supreme court to end winner take all. they thought it was benefiting not everybody equally but benefiting certain states very powerfully. and i think that there's an amendment that everybody should be okay with. there should be no partisan disagreement about or at least it should be a compromise we should all agree on which should say the number of electors we have right now, so you give a certain advantage to small states but instead of winner takeall , elect the electors at a functional level. it doesn't matter if you get a vote in wyoming, it's worth as much as a vote in california or texas. if you did that the whole country would be in play. every president would want to get a vote from everywhere so we would have a president that represented everybody and people when they recognized the problem is that it's not representing america, but this is an alternativethat could better represent america . >> the other question that i love your thoughts on is how would you prevent the citizen juries from bh being infected by th

joe biden, who is your mentor and you have endorsed him for president and you are a senator from delaware -- >> and campaigned for him this past weekend. >> yeah. public reports suggested that vice president biden played a role in derailing a legitimate inquiry while under a monumental conflict of interests. it goes on to say, if biden were not running for president house democrats would not argue merely raising the issue would not argue merely raising that is a conflict. >> every respective journalistic outlet has not found out a shred of truth, saying the former vice president did something improper. he was carrying out the wishes of not only president obama and many allies in europe, impressing for a corrupt prosecutor to be removed and that did not benefit the company on whose board hunter biden served. the larger point and i know it will be argued at greater length this next week, there's no direct relevance to the charges, and what we should be looking at is whether or not president trump ordered the withholding of aid for a particular purpose, namely the gathering of political info

there were no job so he went down to delaware and he was raised there almost one third grade two 11th grade and we went back down and it took him three years to be able to get us home, and we had three bedroom home, split level, home nice place, for kids and a grand pop, well, we thought it was just fine, but folks, the point is that there was never any time we thought there was an abundance of, anything where we had family, we had values, and we all care about the same thing you guys care about out here in iowa, decency, honor, commitment, something bigger than yourself, knowing it is not just about you. so, folks, look. and the problem now, the only thing standing in our way of rebuilding this country, and we have to, rebuild is our broken political system. our politics has become so, mean so, petty so business that we need a president who can bring the country together, unite the country, unite our country flat, out folks, we are democracy, democracies depend on consensus. you have to reach consensus. three is no way to be able to govern, to progress if we cannot reach consensus so

seen as the amtrak senator, the guy who's a regular guy who gets on the amtrak train, goes home to delaware, that's absolutely true, but in our research what we found is that he not only did that, if he was running late, he would call amtrak and have them hold the train so yes, he was regular joe amtrak, but if he wanted to pull strings for his benefit he would. >> plus he knew some of the on the board, his son. >> yes, exactly. we talk about the five bidens. we talk about hunter and there's new material about him in the book. the chapter is 70 pages long. there's a lot of groundcover. some of these other ones are very interesting, james biden, his brother, november of 2010, this old town friend named kevin justice who grew up in delaware with joe biden's kids starts this construction company called hillstone and goes to the white house in november 2010, meets in biden's office, we don't know what they discussed. it was the only time he ever visited the white house, but three weeks after that meeting he appoints james biden, the vice president's brother as the executive vice president of a

i am a catholic. 14 years old i grew up in wilmington delaware. i am from new york age 13. but i do relate to. the jewish people and how they survived the holocaust because they are like a brother religion tourists knowing there was someone who just one person could kill over a 1000000 people makes me feel. it's hard for a good person to stand but that it is what it is but you young people i hope and if you do you will be strong and really stand up for the right thing. for the right things because all the bottom line the main thing is not to close your eyes when something is a gong. my name is chris morris i'm the spanish my mom was pregnant with me and the nurse. in the know my room. if you. think. i can kind of relate to how you feel because i know like i love my family where they leave. like my mom my best. and so i don't know. what i would do. my dad. those are like all those years of your life that you're never going to get back. you have their wisdom. you know 40 year old 50 that's crazy i just respect. i don't think i would ever be able to. he would. i was your age y

that brings us to the delaware supreme court, where today a judge heard final arguments in a case involvingron, roku and stitch fix the decision could dramatically change how shareholders are allowed to file class action suits. inside for today's hearing, prya, great to see you why does this matter not only to blue apron and stitch fix and roku, but to companies nationwide >> on it's face it seems like an obscure little case that's about whether ipo companies will be sued in just federal court or in a lot of state courts at the same time. what's at stake is access to the find of growth capital that allows companies to do things like create great jobs and shareholder value, and that's because if this litigation persists, the cost of the litigation is so high that the insurance becomes completely unaffordable, and that will end up choking the ipo pipeline. >> so basically these companies are arguing that they should be allowed to write into their charter documents a mandate that shareholders have to file in federal court, as opposed to in state court where juries might work in their favor. ho

he was a salesperson and there were no jobs, so we moved down to delaware.own and it took him three years to get home. in nice place. for kids under grandpa. point is, there was never a time we thought there was an abundance of anything, but we had family and values. we cared about decency, commitment, something bigger than yourself. look, the problem now is nothing is standing in our way about rebuilding this country. our politics has become so mean, so petty and vicious. we need a president who can bring our country together. we are a democracy. it depends on consensus. way to be able to progress if we can't reach consensus. to be able to pull the country together. some of my colleagues think i am naive. it's not naive, it's what i've done my whole career. pulling together democrats and republicans to pass a range of things that are longer than anything anyone else has done in this campaign. because it can be done if you treat people with respect. you don't attack their motives, so you are in the pocket of this or that. but if i never question your motives

we are joined by senator chris coons, democrat of delaware. senator, thank you for spending a few more minutes of your already long day into night with us. i have to ask you, do you have a, perhaps, silent focus group of republicans who you look over to during arguments like tonight? talk to us about attentiveness. talk about whether or not you see so much as one mind being changed during something like that, a summation by adam schiff. >> i do, brian, have a number of republican colleagues who i'm watching closely. it was during closing arguments during the kavanaugh confirmation process that i was looking at my friend and senator jeff flake realizing how deeply troubled he was by the testimony of the woman who was accusing now justice kavanaugh of misdeeds, dr. christine blasey ford. these are long days. the arc of the presentation by the house managers is quite long. the amount of evidence, both witness testimony and the documents, texts is fairly heavy. so in the course of the day you can see folks' attention wander and their engagement co

joining us is democrat from delaware. >> thank you. great to be with you. it's been a long day in the senate. >> it has been. i can tell you from watching it from outside i can tell you how long it's been. do you have a sense of how long this part of the trial is going to continue? do you have any guidance in terms of taking the 24 hours vs. wrapping up with less than that much on the counsel side? >> the attorneys will resume making their case tomorrow at 1:00. how late into the night they'll go. we don't really know. i was surprised at some of the attacks they took today. on the last point arguing that obama should have been impeached. it was a broad tour of a wide range of legal and political arguments. some of which were predictable. some i really didn't sigh coming. >> the apex argument from professor dershowitz. was interesting. he is a household name. and a hotly anticipated portion of the trial. his argument was -- it was a novel argument that a president cannot be impeached for something that's not a violation of federal law. it's not mainstream vi
