the summer would be harsh. so, they moved mayflower to plymouth harbor, in december. they landed, there is a traditional story that they landed on plymouth rock and they began to build their houses on christmas day, 1620. this essentially becomes the place where the colonists live until the housing is built for everyone. when they return home in april, that charter, think of mayflower as a bus, it has been hired to bring these people over, the charter is getting more and more expensive the longer that the ship stays. she leaves 1861, and nobody from plymouth returns to board her, she arrives in the middle of may. much to the stress of the merchants, she returned utterly empty with nothing to compensate for the investment they made. i can't even imagine what the first winter was like, 102 passengers arrived in november and by the end of february, half of them are gone. and we know from the writings of william bradford and edward winslow that there were times in february when two or three per day were dying, so imagine houses that are collapsing on the outside, and as fo

at 2 am the ship returns to the harbor captain marvel a make several short trips a week to boulogne sumedha to offload his catch. today their 1st in line the fishermen. a run short with the future will bring. britain is an island it's in same how much coastline they have compared to that france has hardly any at all. in mongolia uses a crane to lift his catch ashore just as he does fishermen from. have been trawling the channel for generations. without a briggs it work for these french fishermen could very well dry up. let's take a look at some of the other business stories making news. on kong has seen its biggest i.p.o. this year shares of j.p. health soared on their stock market debut surging 34 percent above the issue prize the company's the health care arm of chinese e-commerce giant jakey dot com which will retain a majority stake. japan has announced new economic stimulus worth over $700000000000.00 package aims to cushion the blow from covert $1000.00 assists changes in the economy and boost productivity through digitalisation japan has already deployed a combined 2.2 trillion dolla

and then on the third discovery they come here to plymouth harbor and during the course of exploration realized they found a place of good soil, of constant water. the native word for this place pawtuxet means land of little falls or little streams. that was one of the concerns of staying on cape cod was they couldn't find good water down there that they thought would be with them all year round. they thought the summer might be brackish. so they moved mayflower from provincetown harbor here to plymouth harbor late in december. there is the traditional story they landed on plymouth rock and began to build their houses on christmas day 1620. and then essentially mayflower becomes a place where the colonists live until there's sufficient housing ashore for everyone. the ship staying in new england drives up the cost of the venture. so when it returns home in april, that charter -- think of mayflower as a bus that's been hired to bring people over. the charter is getting more and more expensive the longer that the ship stays. she leaves april 5, 1621. and no one from plymouth returns aboa

squanto was born right here in the harbor, notice the toxic, to the native americans. just a few years before the arrival of the pilgrims, he was adopted by an english explore, made his way back to europe, and would eventually end up in london where he learned the english language. he will to his native home as the interpreter of yet another english explore and find button sick empty of people. at some point, he began to see this as a possible opportunity. he saw that nasa so it was now vulnerable to to these terrible plagues. squanto had admissions to become the next massasoit few he realized that if there was ever a significant english settlement in this area, he would be in a unique position. he could tell massasoit what he wanted to think that the english were saying, and he could tell the english what he wanted to think the indians were saying. and for a year in plymouth calling that's exactly what he would do. it would take an exactly before both massasoit and bradford began to realize that he'd be game telling indians in the region that the pilgrims presents the

the pilgrim fathers. as it was in 1620, provincetown harbor was the first port of call.e the original vessel lay offshore while her cargo of migrants to the new world grew up a mayflower compact. on the shore of plymouth where wilderness greeted the pilgrims. a cheering throng reached the second mayflower. captain vin yards and his men receive a hero's ovation at plymouth. close by plymouth rock where the pilgrims first set foot in the new world, the mayflower ii will be docked permanently, living memorial to a great voyage. ♪ >>> now that the president has signed the coronavirus relief and government funding bill, congress still has work to do this week. they begin in the house today with a vote on whether to override the veto of the $700 billion authorization bill. in his veto message, president trump said he objected to the bill's failure to repeal section 230 which protects companies and the removal of military names on installations. if the veto is successful in the house, it goes to the senate. the senate may also try to raise the relief covid checks from $600 to $

. >> reporter: the commercial crabbing season is finally open but not a single vote has left the harbor. what in the world is going on now? first it was the pandemic, then fear of oil entanglements, now the classic battle of wholesale price negotiations. fishermen say buyers are offering $2.35 a pound. fishermen want $3.50 a pound, this delay could not have come at a worse time. >> christmas is history, we lost the thanksgiving orchid, the christmas market and one third of our season already. the most critical part of the season is behind us. >> votes here and all along the coast are staying put until the price is settled.>> today is set day and you notice there is not one person here, it's completely empty. that tells you the confidence the fishermen have between each other. >> the solidarity is pretty intact right now. >> it has always been that way in bodega bay. and it's been that way in san francisco. there have been some violators in the past, but they are not here anymore. >> why is that? >> they know better. >> this afternoon pacific seafood issued a statement. they say "this ye

i do think that now that we're past the safe harbor day and marly with next week's december 14th theer for quite some time. the claims of rigged elections, the fraud claims, it needs -- it is time to on. it is time to get going with president-elect biden. >> the head of the dhs committee, ron johnson, is calling a hearing where he will investigate election irregularities in the 2020 election. my mouth is clearly hacked. saying do you have any thoughts about a sitting senator? namely ron johnson, using the senate hearing room to under mine the confidence? >> it is a committee oversight when i was back in that roll. so i'm not quite sure what information he may have. he mentioned this is a statement as well. you can see the action here, the avenue, the investigations that is a court of law. we have seen them across the country dispense. so maybe he has something else and we look forward to seeing that, but i do think that with the safe harbor deadline, with the seating of the electoral college las week, we're just about past any sort of point changing the outcome here if is clear that

it was 79 years ago today. >> the japanese have attacked the pearl harbor, hawaii, from the air. >> theack on pearl harbor. more than 2,400 americans killed. president franklin d. roosevelt. >> we will gain the inevitable triumph, so help us god. >> congress issuing a declaration of war half that speech. tonight, on this anniversary, a nation remembers. in boston, a flag is removed from the "uss kasim young". that ship survived two kamikaze hits. in washington, d.c., national park service living history volunteer patrick mccourt salutes as a military honor guard lays a wreath. in pearl harbor, hawaii, a national parks service official ringing a bell from the "uss arizona." just two survivors remain from that ship. retired lieutenant commander lou c conter is one of them. he celebrated his 99th birthday. there's 101-year-old survivor mckem mckey gannidge. and like that long line of cars to mark lou's birthday in recent weeks, tonight, a nation says thank you and we'll always remember that day. we salute lou, mickey and all of our veterans and, of course, the lives lost on that day. i'm d

in other words, joe biden's election as president today officially entered the safe harbor of federal law where it has become absolutely impossible legally to undo joe biden's electoral college victory. now, that has actually been impossible all along since joe biden was declared the winner by nbc news and other news organizations on november 7th, but the safe harbor just makes the impossible all the more impossible. the lawyer who was leading the charge in donald trump's frivolous lawsuit attacks on the election spent safe harbor day in the hospital being treated for covid-19. perhaps in his hospital bed, someone read to rudy giuliani the one sentence, unanimous order by the united states supreme court, not just denying rudy giuliani's claims, but in the court's circumstanpect essentially calling everything rudy giuliani has been up to utterly insane. a group of law professors which includes law professor lawrence traver asking bar associations to discipline rudy giuliani and other lawyers for making provingly false claims in and out of courtrooms about the election. and on this safe

that is the determinant for purposes of the safe harbor. >> that may help address the next question is a safe harbor presumption conclusive or rebuttable? sue beckett is conclusive unless congress decides it is not. and it should be conclusive. i'll go back to what i said earlier. what represented his heart he said he will challenge many of these results if both houses of congress read jacked of the plate of electors we move into a completely different territory. it is not going to happen. this is not the first time that we have had questions raised, 2004 democrats raise the question about the ohio slate of electors. it has happened in congress. it's not going to make a difference this time. but that is something to keep in mind that it can be changed by congress. smacked me take another question. this is directed at you, norm please feel free to no matter what our put in place there will still be those comic norman mentioned them early that would polarized gop voters that still distrust the system? let me just ask, what can we do going forward? is there anything that we can do to addr
