of cases. and what happens after contact is history. if we start in 1776 with, you know, thinking about america, then that defines america as always around this nation-state of the united states of america, when in fact there are hundreds of years of history that come before that in which it was by no means pre-determined that the united states of america would ever be a thing that came into being, right? similarly, we discussed a lot about dates that are important as starting points traditionally in how we talk about colonial american history and what we should do with that. 1492, of course, the idea that columbus -- discovering is often the word used. that word does a disservice because it's about contact and conquest. it's not about discovering something that was of course well known to the many people who lived there before columbus stumbled upon it. or do we begin with 1607 with the first permanent english settlement? that ignores the fact that the english weren't the first powers to establish settlement in the united states. those were the spanish in florida. or was it 1619, james town, the arrival of african who is became the first africans in an english permane

being taken off airplanes, they don't understand they have committed treason against the united states of america, they are involved in she dishes conspiracy by force, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the united states. but, frank, that's the thing. this wasn't just any law. this separated us from every other country in the world. john adams did it first when he voluntarily walked away from the presidency after he lost. he didn't seize power. it shocked countries across the world that this grand new constitutional republic would have a peaceful transfer of power. and so there it was written in the united states constitution, to guarantee the peaceful transfer of power. this was the day for the constitution set that our representatives, our elected representatives were to count the electoral votes as required by the constitution of the united states. and those people on those -- on that screen, i'm sorry, i'm a simple country lawyer but even i can figure out that is a conspiracy to commit sedition against the united states of america. please tell me where i'm wrong. and please tell me

really, donald trump is the enemy of the constitutional republic that is the united states of americag of what happened in this insidious insurrection that was inspired and encouraged an attack on the capitol of the united states government encouraged by the president of the united states. at the very moment that the congress was counting the ballots to elect the legitimate president of the united states. that's what occurred here. this is something that needs to be addressed in terms of its seditious reality, in terms of who he most represents in some ways is the cessationous president of the confederacy of america, jefferson davis, because trump has taken his movement and himself out of the legitimate governance of the united states of america. he's no longer part of the united states of america. he has really seceded himself and his movement from who we are as a country. that's what the meaning of that attack is. >> why are you willing to make the comparisons between the president and jefferson davis when there are many republicans who are unwilling to see and make the same associa

well, that is, i think, i the $600 million question here in the united states of america in the unitedmerica in the united states of america in the lead up to next week's inauguration. no—one quite knows, and you know, i have a lot of law enforcement contacts across the american, country —— across the american, country —— across the american, country —— across the country, and there have been 600 additional national guardsmen sworn in, more than in iraq and afghanistan combined, and they said they are uncertain about what will happen next week. we are in a tenuous situation as we wait and see what the reaction, the response will be to the impeachment. but i can tell you last week's incursion at the us capitol, i know exactly what that was about, that was about 75 million americans being very upset, feeling their vote was not counted, their vote was counterbalanced by some measure in those key states, and they haven't been hurt for the last eight weeks in the united states court system, which also revoked president trump. lets not refight _ revoked president trump. lets not refight the

that is not democracy in the united states of america. as every senator who has spoken has mentioned, we have for hundreds of years had a peaceful transfer of power. nobody likes to lose and supporters of the losing candidate are always disappointed. what's different this time? we all know what's different this time. we had a president, who as the senator from new jersey said, even before a vote was cast, that if he didn't win the election, it was going to be a fraud and every day since then has perpetrated that lie. we have a president who just today criticized very loyal vice president who is presiding right now, urging him to disregard his responsibilities of the constitution of the united states in order to reinstall donald trump as president. the same person who got on the phone to the secretary of state in georgia and threatened him to change the results of the election. mr. president, i read something this week i never thought i'd read in a newspaper in the united states of america. it was an op-ed by all the living secretaries of d

torch, as it has been for over two centuries in the grand tradition of democracy in the united states of america. tomorrow the country will turn the page on the most chaotic and divisive presidency that can ever be remembered. we will begin again the hard work of unifying this nation, to defeating the pandemic, recovering our economy, and repairing our standing in stature in the world. and this is just the beginning. the inauguration of a new president and the start of a new administration always brings a flurry of activity to our nation's government. but rarely has so much piled up for the senators during this particular transition. over the next several weeks, the senate must accomplish three essential items. a second impeachment trial of donald trump, a confirmation of president biden's cabinet and other key officials, and legislation to provide much-needed, almost desperately needed covid relief. again, that's three essential items of business. one, as mandated by law and the constitution, once the house of representatives delivers articles of impeachment to the senate, we will conduct and c
