one is the gold rush. the gold rush starts with to some degree happening during the tail end of the mexican-american war, 1848 in the final days of mexico actually owning the territory days before its official surrender someone discovers a sawmill worker in a river in california and discovers there are gold plates on the ground and so this is a serendipitous discovery or doesn't take great skill or culture to find gold but they did and great lucky find at the tail end where the us comes into possession of california almost at that time almost as if providential and find gold. almost instantaneously the californians-- the rush happens and then california wanted-- is clamoring for statehood and because california is in possession of vast wealth it accelerates that process and by 1850 californians want to present themselves as the 31st eight of the union. at this time there are 15 a slave states and 15 free states and it's the one marker of legislated balance that the sutherlands are able to hold onto because

benefit from this tax bill and michael the democrats i believe are complaining that the bill was rushed to a vote without very much time to read the final version why was there such a hurry with this bill and was this unusual in any way while i think it's fair to say that this bill was rushed through congress i mean after all this this bill had close to five hundred pages the full content of which was only released hours before the vote there were also handwritten amendments made to the bill very last minute before actually the votes came came to fruition so it would have been very hard for anyone to really read this entire bill before it came to a vote so i think it's fair to say that this bill was rushed through in order to get. the g.o.p. to get a vote for them and of course if the this bill from the senate is reconciled with a similar bill from the house of representatives this will be a big legislative victory for president trump could this help him shore up support with voters. it could it could because this is of course the first major legislative success that president trap in t

to rush suj a -- such a huge piece of legislation when the people of alabama have sent us a new senator and try to jam it through before he gets here would be so wrong. doug jones would be the duly elected senator from the state of alabama in a few short weeks. the governor didn't appoint him. the people chose him. it would be wrong for senate republicans, it would be wrong for senate republicans to jam through this tax bill without giving the newly elected senator from alabama the opportunity to cast his vote. the people of alabama deserve to have their representative in the senate to debate the biggest issues of the day, and the tax bill certainly falls under that category. so today we senate democrats are calling on leader mcconnell to hit pause on his tax bill and not hold a final vote on it until doug jones is sworn into the senate. now, that's exactly what republicans argued when scott brown was elected in 2010. referring to health care, leader mcconnell said -- here is what he said -- it would be gamesmanship, he said, to pursue big-ticket legislation before scott brown was seate
