Office, no members of the president s party would cast a vote to actually convict him of the articles of impeachment and remove him from office. No senator from the president s party would vote to convict him. That was the one president ial impeachment we had in the 1800s. In the 19th century. Then we had one president ial impeachment in the next century. In the 1900s, the impeachment of president bill clinton. And again, like when Andrew Johnson, it was mostly a Party Line Vote in the house. When the house voted to impeach him. When they passed the articles of impeachment against president clinton. Mostly party line. Just a few crossovers. But when those articles of impeachment went over to the u. S. Senate and they had to vote there on whether or not to convict him and remove him from office, just like it was with president Andrew Johnson in the previous century, the exact same pattern helped. No member of president clintons own party would cast a vote to actually convict him on any of the articles of impeachment and there by remove him from office. So now we are in our third century as country. Our National Miss such things is apparently that we get one president ial impeachment per century. And today, as the 21st century impeachment trial of President Donald Trump came to a close, it ended with a surprise ahistorical twist. Of course, it takes twothirds vote in the senate. A large super majority vote in the senate to convict a president on articles of impeachment and remove film office. Impeachments are rare enough in American History that they are all a little bit wild. All a little bit unpredictable. But getting a twothirds vote in the senate to remove a president , i mean, it is less like a steep hill to climb. More like a matterhorn. And it is designed that way by design. It is really hard to remove a president in the senate. It is particularly hard when the senate is controlled by the president s own party. Which means not only that the president s own party has a majority of the seats in the senate. They also control the rules of how the president s senate trial would be conducted. In this impeachment trial of president trump, for example, i think the vote by republicans in the senate to break all previous precedent for all Senate Impeachment tries of all kinds, and refuse to hear any testimony from witnesses, that was probably the most determinative thing in this entire process in terms of ultimate outcome. But until this afternoon, until just before the ultimate vote on whether or not to convict trump on the arrests of impeachment, we didnt know if any republican might conceivably try to make history by becoming the first senator ever to vote to convict a president in his or her own party and to there by remove that president from office. Statistically speaking, ill guessing if youre watching me live right now, that probably means you were busy doing Something Else this afternoon today when this little bit of American History happened in your lifetime. So i want to you see it. I have sort of finagled the books a little bit, made the necessary entreaties to do had. You have probably heard about what happened in the Senate Impeachment trial. Youve seen the headlines. You have seen perhaps this evening that the president now appears to be on the absolute war path against senator mitt romney for what he did today in the Senate Impeachment trial before the vote was taken. You know it happen. But this is your life. This is your country. This is your time in it and this is slice of American History that happened on your watch today. And so you should also just take it from me. Just take a minute and watch this. This was history. You were here for it. You should see it. So im going to play these remarks in full. Ill tell you afterwards something remarkable about what happened in the chamber. One thing to watch for happened toward the start of the remarks. It is the long, long very poignant pause that the senator takes that he has to take to compose himself when he talks about his faith. So i know youve heard this happened today. But you should watch it happen. You should see it in realtime. You will be glad you did. Watch. President . Senator from utah. Thank you, mr. President. The constitution is at the foundation of our republics success and we each strive not to lose sight of our promise to defend it. The constitution established the vehicle of impeachment that has occupied both houses and our congress these many days. We have labored to faithfully execute our responsibilities to it. We have arrived at different judgments but i home we respect each others good faith. The allegations made in the articles of impeachment are very serious. As senator juror, i swore an oath before god to exercise impartial justice. I am profoundly religious. My faith is at the heart of who i am. Present silence ] i take an oath before god as enormously consequential. I knew from the outset that being tasked with judging the president , the leader of my own party, would be the most difficult decision i have ever faced. I was not wrong. The house managers presented evidence supporting their case and the white House Counsel disputed that case. In addition the president s Team Presented three defenses. First, that there could be no impeachment without a statutory crime. Second, the bidens conduct justified the president s actions, and third, that the judgment of the president s actions should be left to the voters. Let me first address those three defenses. The historic meaning of the words, high crimes and misdemeanors, the writings of the founders and my own reasoned judgment convinced me that a president can indeed commit acts against the public trust that are so egregious, while theyre not statutory crimes, they would demand removal from office. To maintain that the lack of a codified and comprehensive list of all the outrageous acts that a president might conceivably commit renders congress powerless to remove such a president defies reason. The president s counsel also notes that Vice President biden appeared to have a could not fligt of interest when he undertook an effort to remove the ukrainian prosecutor general. If he knew of the exorbitant compensation his son was receiving from a Company Actually under investigation, the Vice President should have recused himself. While ignoring a conflict of interest is not a crime, it is surely very wrong. With regard to hunter biden, taking excessive advantage of his fathers name is unsavory but also not a crime. Given that neither the case of the father nor the son was any evidence presented by the president s counsel that a crime had been committed, the president s insistence that they be investigated by the ukrainians is hard to explain other than as a political pursuit. Theres no question in my mind that were their names not biden, the president would never have done what he did. The defense argues that the senate should lead the impeachment decision to the voters. While that logic is appealing to our democratic instincts, it is inconsistent with the constitutions requirement that the senate, not the voters, try the president. Hamilton explained that the founders decision to invest senators with this decision was intended to minimize to the extent possible the partisan sentiments of the public at large. So the verdict is ours to render under our constitution. The people will judge us for how well and faithfully we fulfill our duty. The great question the constitution tasks senators to answer is whether the president committed an act so extreme and egregious that it rises to the level of a high crime and misdemeanor. Yes, he did. The president asked a Foreign Government to investigate his political rival. The president withheld vital military funds from that government to press it to do so. The president delayed funds for an american ally at war with russian invaders. The president s purpose was personal and political. Accordingly, the president is guilty of an appalling abuse of public trust. What he did was not perfect. No, it was a flagrant assault on our electoral rights, our National Security, and our fundamental values. Corrupting an election to keep ones self in office is perhaps the most abusive and destructive violation of ones oath of office that i can imagine. In the last several weeks, ive received numerous calls and texts, many demanding in their words that i stand with the team. I can assure that you thought has been very much in my mind. You see, i support a great deal of what the president has done. I voted with him 80 of the time. But my promise before god to apply impartial justice required that i put my personal feelings and political biases aside. Were i to ignore the evidence that has been presented and disregard what i believe my oath and the constitution demands of me for the sake of a partisan end, it would, i fear, expose my character to historys rebuke and the censure of my own conscience. Im aware that there are people in my party and in my state who will strenuously disapprove of my decision and in some quarters, i will be vehemently denounced. Im sure to hear abuse from the president and his supporters. Does anyone seriously believe that i would consent to these consequences other than from an inescapable conviction that my oath before god demanded of me . I sought to hear testimony from john bolton, not only because i believed he could add context to the charges, but also because i hoped that what he might say could raise reasonable doubt and thus remove from me the awful obligation to vote for impeachment. Like each member of this deliberative body, i love our country. I believe that our constitution was inspired by providence. Im convince that had freedom itself is dependent on the freedom and vitality of our National Character as it is with each senator, my vote is an act of conviction. Weve come to different conclusions, fellow senators, but i trust weve all followed the dictates of our conscience. I acknowledge that my verdict will not remove the president from office. The results of this senate court will in fact be played to a higher court, the judgment of the American People. Voters will make the final Decision Just as the president s lawyers have implored. My vote will likely be in the minority in the senate. But irrespective of these things, with my vote, i will tell my children and their children that i did my duty to the best of my ability. Believing that moy country expected it of me. I will only be one name among many. No more, no less. To future generations of americans who look at the record of this trial. They will note merely that i was among the senators who determined that what the president did was wrong. Grievously wrong. We are all footnotes at best in the anals of history but in the most powerful nation on earth, the nation conceived in liberty and justice, that distinction is enough for any senate. Thank you, mr. President. I yield the florida. The republican senator mitt romney. The republican partys nominee for president of the United States in 2012, today, making history of a very different kind. Becoming the first senator in American History to ever cast a vote against a president of his own party to convict that president of an article of impeachment and there by remove that president from office. And of course, senator romney was the only one. On the first article of impeachment, which was abuse of power, senator romneys vote made the tally 52 votes to 48. Senator romney did not vote to convict the president on the second article which was obstruction. So that vote was 5347. A perfect Party Line Vote. President trump is impeached. He was impeached by the house of representatives when they passed two articles of impeachment against him. But thats not the end of the process. In the senate, he was acquitted. Like his two predecessors, one each from the 19th sxrt the 20th century. The u. S. Could not bring itself to couldnt 56th so the president is left in Office Although he is left in office with a member of his own party having voted to remove him, which is the first time thats ever happened in our country. But heres Something Interesting to know about that history making speech from senator romney today. This speech from him did not happen during what weve come to recognize as a normal session of the Senate Impeachment trial, as weve been watching it these past few weeks. All the speech thats the various senators made explaining how they would vote in the impeachment trial, they werent made in front of chief Justice John Roberts and all the republican senators sitting there fidgeting at their desks, being required to be there. All the speeches from individual senators, including the one from romney today, was made in an assigned time in the senate. So there was no guaranteed audience. Any senator could be there or not depending on whether or not they felt like listening to one of their colleagues. When senator romney gave these historic remarks today, there were a grand total of four senators in the room there listening to him. Four. Senator Roger Whitaker and then three democrats. Of those four senators who were in the room when mitt romney gave these remarks today, at least two of the four senators in the room with him left the floor in tears when it was over. Including senator chris murphy of connecticut who spoke with reporters just after he walked off the floor. Just after senator romney finished. Listen to this. I was in the chamber to hear that. You know, ive gotten to know him pretty well over the course of the last year. I think history will judge that to be one of the more important speeches of my time in the senate. You sound choked up. Were you emotional . Yeah. Its the hardest they know to do in the world. You stand up to your party and to your friends and to your donors, and to just decide to do whats right. I think we all wonder whether we would make the same decision if we were in the same position. I was choked up listening to him speak. He was choked up giving that speech. Thats all did he give a headsup to any of you . Im not going to say anything about my conversations with mitt. There is still a lot of honor left in this place. I was pretty down last night being inspied pep rally, wondering whether decency still mattered here. I have a little more confidence that it does now. Being in that pep rally, meaning the state of the Union Address, wondering whether decency still mattered here. I have a little more confidence that it does now. Senator chris murphy speaking with reporters today right after he walked off the floor. He was one of only four senators in the room today when mitt romney shocked washington, including shocking the white house by voting as a republican senator to convict the president on the first article of impeachment abuse of power. The white house freakout over senator romneys decision was reportedly in part because they had no idea he was going to do this. The freakout was swift and sort of telling. Boy howdy do they yellthat much. If they only ever chose to use it. Any time a republican stands up to him, he backs right down. And the white house trembles. But its like republicans havent learned that at all. Theyre all so scared. At the time that mitt romney was giving those remarks in the senate today, reporters were gathered on the south lawn of the white house. They were there because they were ready to go in. Getting ready to go into the white house to cover a planned press event in the oval office. As soon as mitt romney gave those remarks, the white house abruptly called that off and sent all the reporters away. This was from the cnbc reporter. Just as senator romney finished speaking, the white house announce that had reporters will now no longer be invited to the oval office for the pool spray that was scheduled at 2 15. Reporters were already on the south lawn and ready to go in when the white house canceled it. Within minutes the president s eldest son and name sake was calling for mitt romney to be expelled from the republican party. And then later in the afternoon, the president started tweeting out an antimitt romney video that cause romney a secret spy. A secret asset for the democratic party. Of course, senator romney said in his speech, just heard him. He said i will be vehemently denounced. I will sure to hear abuse from the president and his supporters. Does anyone believe i would consent to these consequences other than an inescapable conviction that my oath before god demanded of me. He knew what was coming. He said he knew what was coming as he delivered those remarks. During the impeachment trial, as the trial unfolded, we frequently saw protests breakout against the president and in favor of his removal from office in the nations capitol. [ chanting ] protests from last week while the trial was going on. Today the final vote on the president s fate had not yet taken place when the first protests kicked off inside the capitol rotunda. These women locked arms in the center of the rotunda chanting, trump is it goody. They got arrested by capitol police. This evening antitrump protesters, pro removal protesters, started showing up to hundreds of reject the coverup rallies across the country to protest the president s acquittal in the senate. In new york city there was a big group that gather in the Columbus Circle in mid town manhattan before they marched south down fifth avenue to trump tower which bears the president s name. And where the president used to live, although im not sure he does anymore. You can hear the loud booing there combined with a few lock him up chants. People turned out tonight in boston. This is a shot of the Boston Common tonight. In st. Petersburg, florida, demonstrators had a message for republican senators. Theyre saying, vote you out. We will vote you out. In portland, maines monument square, protesters were more targeted about which senator particularly they were talking about. Theyre saying Susan Collins has to go. Protesters also deployed to individual senators offices around the country. This is allentown, pennsylvania. People lined up outside the offices of pat Toomey Holding signs like, dump trump and lies matter and call businesses, hunk to convict traitor trump. In dallas, protesters outside john cornyns District Office as well. His rallies and protests were timed for 5 30 local time across the country. That means rallies were just starting to get underway in california when we got on the air tonight. Here are people starting to arrive on the seasonable in davis, california. Heres a demonstration getting underway as well. As to what comes next, well have congressman adam schiff here with us. He was the leader prosecutor in the trial. Wee talk to him now that the final vote on the president s fate has happen in the senate. Jerry nadler said the house is likely to send a subpoena to john bolton. Youll recall the republican senators decided they didnt want to hear from john bolton in the impeachment trial despite that he said he had important and unique information directly relevant to their inquiry. Nobody knows how bolton will react to a subpoena from the house now. During the houses impeachment investigation, he told the house that he would sue them if they subpoenaed him. He later changed his mind and said that he would testify. He would respond to a subpoena if one arrived from the senate. But in the republican controlled senate, that never happened. President trump for his part is reported to have told several reporters in a briefing before the state of the Union Address that he wants to try to block the publication of john boltons forthcoming book. Reporter gabe sherman from vanity fair said the president talked about trying to gin up some kind of criminal prosecution against john bolton as well. Along those lines, you should know that today, today of all days, today the day the president was left in office by the senate after the house impeached him for trying to get a foreign country to interfere in the next election, today of all days, attorney general bill barr sent out this letter to all u. S. Attorneys telling them that as of today, they may not open any investigation into a president ial candidate, a president ial campaign or a president ial Campaign Staff member or adviser without express written permission from him. From bill barr personally. Now, there is a longstanding policy of their being heightened scrutiny at the department of justice for investigations that could have an effect on forthcoming elections. I could give you chapter and verse on it after what we all went through in 2016. This advice distributed by attorney general william barr today, as far as we know, this is a little different. As far as we can at the, and we have taken some advice on this this evening, this appears to know the First Time Ever that an attorney general has established this new rule that he and only he, the attorney general personally, must approve or disapprove any investigation into any president ial candidate or campaign from this day henceforth in the election takes place. President trumps defense to his impeachment evolved radically over the course of this impeachment saga. It started as, he didnt do anything. Then it was, well, he did something with ukraine but wasnt bad. He certainly wasnt demanding a quid pro quo in terms of official u. S. Government policy for which he wanted something for himself in return. Wasnt that. Then it had to evolve to, with, yes, he was demanding a quid pro quo from ukraine but thats okay. It was an okay kind of quid pro quo. By the end, the president s defense in this impeachment trial was that him demanding a quid pro quo from a Foreign Government specifically to help his own Reelection Campaign is something that is explicitly fine and he is okay, not only was he okay to do it in the past. Hes okay to do it moving forward. The president s final defense was that he could use the powers of his office however he wants to if it helps him get reelected. He can do whatever he wants to with the powers that he has as president and with the powers and the wealth of the u. S. Government to assist his reelection effort. Even if it comes to eliciting foreign interference from other countries. It is not only something he did. It is okay if he does more of it. Fresh off that defense, he is now, of course, starting to devote himself full time to trying to get reelected. How will he do that . I mean, in this scandal, it is a remarkable thing that republicans decided to not admit any new evidence and to not hear from any witnesses. That will not stop more documents from coming out. From freedom of information requests, from other reporting and other investigative tools. Witnesses, important witnesses who never had their story told as part of the inquiry, theyll be publishing their books, and or testifying under oath. You may be able to stop one of them. You wont be able to stop both. Part of this thing ended today. But we are also still in the middle of it. I mean, this was an impeachment about the president s efforts to get a Foreign Government to interfere in the 2024 election. The senate decided not to impeach him in the articles that described how he did it. And despite the case laid out, that in fact he did it. The senate decided to leave him in Office Despite that. And so yes, the impeachment trial is over. But we are still in the middle of what gave rise to it. This is our slice of American History. This is our time. This is our responsibility. As citizens.

What are the odds if left in office that he will continue trying to cheat . I will tell you. 100 . Not 5, not 10 or even 50. But 100 . If you have found him guilty and you do not remove him from office, he will continue trying to cheat in the election until he succeeds. History will not be kind to donald trump. I think we all know that. Not because it will be written by never trumpers, but because whenever we have departed from the values of our nation, we have come to regret it and that regret is written all over the pages of our history. If you find the house has proved its case, and still vote to acquit, your name will be tied to his with a cord of steel and for all of history. But if you find the courage to stand up to him, to speak he the awful truth to his rank falsehood, your fate will be among the davids who took on goliath. If only you will say enough. Every single vote. Even a single vote by a Single Member can change the course of history. It is said that a single man or woman of courage makes a majority. Is there one among you who will say enough congressman adam schiff in his Closing Argument in the president s impeachment trial which wrapped today. Is there one among you who will say enough . Today we learned that those words, that argument did not fall on deaf ears. It turns out there was one. Exactly one. Joining us now is congressman adam schiff who led the house managers of the impeachment trial. Thank you so much for taking time tonight. I imagine what you mostly want to do is take a nap and do something to restore you. It has been a marathon for you and your fellow house managers. Particularly for you as youve shouldered so much of the live on your feet argument in the trial. I imagine that youre not too close to it to have some top line thoughts. Some big picture thoughts on what youve just been through and how well you did. Well, rachel, i think all of us as part of the house managers and the phenomenal staff who worked on this, feel we made the most powerful case, the best case we could possibly make. We felt we had certainly all the facts on our side and it was gratifying to see so many senators, indeed, republican senators, acknowledge that we approv proved the case. It looked like there was little reason to hope that our arguments may resonate even with a Single Member. Indeed, they did. And i have to say, i leave this process now optimistic because i think that what mitt romney did, what a number of very courageous Democratic Senators did, really justified the faith the founders put in their system of selfgovernance that people would have sufficient virtue to stand up for what was right and i just could not be more moved by what i heard mitt romney say. But i leave this process notwithstanding. The lack of a fair trial not with stack, the fact that he was acquitted when the senators knew he was guilty, still with the optimism that we will get through this and the constitution was brilliantly written and it will see us through. You and your fellow house manage hers an op ed in the Washington Post today that has a darker tone. And i want to ask but some of it. I feel like you are trying to direct us toward, if not an action item for the country, at least something that is the next order of business. Im going to quote you. The president s defenders resorted to a theory. They argued a president cannot abuse his power no matter how corrupt his conduct if he believes it will benefit his reelection. If left in office the president will not stop trying to cheat in the next election until he succeeds. We must make sure he does not. Because of the impeachment process, voters can now stand forewarned of the lengths to which the president will go to try to secure his reelection, violating the law and undermining our National Security and that of our allies. That is a clarion warning about what is going to happen over the next ten months as we head toward the november election. What are you looking for from the American People by issuing that kind of warning . Well, you know, i have to say, it was stirring once again to hear it not in my words but in mitt romneys words when he talked about how this was such an egregious abuse of the public trust. To withhold hundreds of millions of dollars from an ally that has russian soldiers on its soil. If hell go to those lengths to secure illicit help to secure the next election, you cant put it past him to do anything to cheat in the next election or to commit any other kind of egregious misconduct which undermines our National Security. So we in congress will have to remain vigilant and i think the American People will have to remain vigilant and not become enured to all the false hoods, all the gas lighting that this administration seeps to try to do on a daily basis. It will require us all, i think, to be inspired by romneys courage and speak truth to power. If you wonder mind sticking with us for just a second. One of your fellow house members told reporters that he may be subpoenaing john bolton soon. I need to ask but that and one other matter if you can stay with us. If you can stay with us.

Joining us once again, addal schiff who led the house managers in the impeachment trial. Mr. Cheryl, thank you for staying with us. I appreciate it. One of your fellow impeachment managers, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee told reporters it is likely he will issue a subpoena for john bolton. Former National Security adviser john bolton who rocked the impeachment proceedings sort of externally by his statements that he had information directly relevant to the pressess conduct in this inquiry and later reporting that in his, in the man youuscript of the upco book, he talked directly about wanting to link krooup to the upcoming investigations. Is it your understanding that mr. Bolton will be subpoenaed by the Judiciary Committee or your committee in the house . Can you tell us about that . I can tell that you there is been absolutely no decision made about whether to subpoena john bolton or not. What we have decided in discussing this with the speaker is, we were going to try the case. We would conclude the trial and we would consider what next steps we should take afterwards. So at this point no, decisions have been made about that. I can tell you that after the senate voted not to hear witnesses, after they voted to be the first impeachment trial in history without witnesses, we did approach john boltons counsel, asked if mr. Bolton would be willing to submit an affidavit under oath, describing what he observed in terms of the president s ukraine misconduct, and he refused. So for whatever reason, he apparently was willing to testify before the senate but apart from that, seeps intent on saving it for his book. Hell have to answer for that. But at this point, we have not made a decision about whether or not to move forward with the subpoena. But certainly it is something that we will be discussing. You also raised flags in a couple public interviews and during the trial. What struck me as very dramatic, struck me as dramatic terms, that there are elements of the Intelligence Community, the National Security, the nsa specifically, that have been withholding information about ukraine. You implied or suggested that it was on orders from the white house and that it was an improper with holding of information from the intelligence committees. You should be entitled to that information. But the Intelligence Community was withholding it from you ill properly. Is that still the case . Are the intelligence committees, both your committee in the house and the one in senate, likely to pry that information loose . It is still regrettably the case and it is a deep concern to me that really a couple categories of intelligence that are at issue. One is a category that was shared with some of us. But it was not shared in a form that we could make it available to all the senators and it was information that was pertinent to the case that they should have had to make their determination. That was one problem. The other problem is that there were other bodies of intelligence that we have requested that have been collected, that were certainly pertinent to our requests but we couldnt tell how pertinent they may be to the trial. And at some point, there were instructions or dictates or requests from up above. And as a result, what was supposed to be turned over to us was withheld from us. That is particularly an issue with the nsa but maybe an issue with them as well. Here you have the flaw that exists in the character of the president which has already ineffected the Justice Department so grievously and other agencies as well. Now seeming to infect part of Intelligence Community. For those of us that rely on that Intelligence Community to speak truth to power, to speak plainly to us, not to withhold from us, it is of grave concern. Do you have support from the Senate Intelligence report on pursuing this . I dont know the answer. I havent talked to chairman burr about it. I know that mark warner shares the concerns that i have at least as it pertains to the information that both, i think, he and i thought should properly be shared with the rest of the senate. But i cant speak for senator burr. Chairman adam schiff who led the house managers in the impeachment inquiry and has deserved a little r r at this point. Thank you for everything that you have done in addition to your day job over these last weeks and months. Thank you for helping us understand it along the way. We really appreciate it. All right. Weve got a lot more to get to. We just got in some new numbers from iowa and Steve Kornacki will walk us through that. Will walk us through that. Saturdays happen. Pain happens. Aleve it. Aleve is proven stronger and longer on pain than tylenol. When pain happens, aleve it. All day strong. And my lack of impulse control, is about to become your problem. Ahh no, come on. I saw you eating poop earlier. My focus is on the road, and thats saving me cash with drivewise. A nation divided by an angry, out of control president. A white house beset by lies, chaos and corruption. An administration that has failed the American People. It doesnt have to be this way. Next year we can have a leader who brings people together, solves problems and gets results. Mike bloomberg will get it done. Im Mike Bloomberg and i approve this message. Be. Two days after the iowa caucuses, we are continuing to get in results. Luckily, Steve Kornacki is completely undaunted by the perpetual rolling machine that is the election results. We just got a bunch more. Were up to 92 and there was a surprise in this last thing that i think add someday lastsecond uncertainty. These are the state delegate egive lenlts. This is the category, traditionally the category the winner of iowa is declared by. The numbers you see, 531 for buttigieg. 5 thrown for sanders. The unit of measure urlt. State delegate equivalents that theyve won. Why i say theres last second uncertainty, it has nothing to do with anything you see on this map weve been showing you for two, three, four days now. It has everything 22nd the satellite caucuses. Some surprises in here. They were held throughout the state tlurgsout the world in some places. They merged them into, there are four different Congressional Districts in iowa. If you were at a satellite caucus for this district, all the satellite caucus thats took place become one collective second Congressional District satellite caucus. I hope this makes essential. Look at the results. This is what you got in the second district. Bernie sanders ran away with it. 53 . Warren, 21 . Notice whose name you dont see at all. Pete buttigieg, not viable. What that means in this district, in the second district, it is worth 11 state delegate equivalents. That gap statewide is 18. One of the reasons it has come down, sanders got the lions share. Warren is the only one over 15. She got a couple. Nobody else got anything. The same thing in the fourth Congressional District. This is smallest in terms of eequivalen eequivalents. Heres the situation. There are two Congressional Districts left where we have no returns yet from the satellite caucuses. I dont know why that order is there. Nobody has anything. This is first district. This is the Third District. The Third District is the biggest one. Thats where des moines is. If you see a pattern with what sanders was able to do in the second and fourth district, if it repeats itself in these two, what would that mean . We dont know the exact number. They wont tell us the number delegates until we see it. The range about, 12 to 24 are at stake in these two. If what you just saw repeats itself, buttigieg gets zero. Sanders gets 50 to 75 . Youre looking at sanders potentially netting 18 or so over buttigieg. So what would that mean . It would put you back out here. It would put back out here with him down by 18. Down by 18, if that pattern holds, potentially the ability to move ahead. I quickly put it up here. These are the missing precincts that weve normally been talking about. Thank you very much.
