So one thing that the movement that did, this was particularly the Labor Movements, there were a number of young labor organizers who were there and they organize teams that went around basically roving groups of young people who went around that every time there was an important vote coming up they would go to the offices of friendly representatives, find them and say you get down to the hostel right now. Whatever you are doing is not as important. They were very successful, very aggressive. Actually ultimately they were told to kind of toned it down. But just this idea that there were these young people, there was one woman, jane ogrady was a Young Berkeley graduate, Union Organizer who was in charge of putting all this together, and just that image of young people roaming the halls grabbing, grabbing these very powerful men and sang, get running into the offices and daring to say to powers that be, you need to do this because its important to me.

Relenting after outrage over his threats in a video last week suddenly opposing the bill his own treasury secretary negotiated on his behalf. The bill they are now planning to send back to my desk is much different than anticipated. It really is a disgrace. That was then, this is now. His sudden week of threats did have a real impact. At least one week delay in enhanced Unemployment Benefits to millions of americans out of work. And a delay in those stimulus checks as well. The president s reversal on the bill comes with other largely unenforceable demands on congress, to remove critical foreign aid from bipartisan spending bills, and an investigation by both houses into his false claims of election fraud. Both going nowhere on capitol hill. While law makers deal with president trumps latest tirade delivered from his vacation retreat, president elect joe biden is meeting with National Security advisers and focusing on the remaining four unfilled cabinet slots. Hell be speaking publicly
Defiled the seat of american democracy. To those who engaged in the acts of violence and destruction, you do not represent our country. We love you. Youre very special. And to those who broke the law, you will pay. Go home and go home in peace. We have just been through an intense election and emotions are high. But now tempers must be cooled and calm restored. Today is not the end. Its just the beginning. We must get on with the business of america. My campaign vigorously pursued every legal avenue to contest the election results. Mike pence is going to have to come through for us. Now congress has certified the results. A new administration will be inaugurated on january 20th. My focus now turns to ensuring a smooth, orderly and seamless transition of power. We will never give up. We will never concede. That is a man who two days ago preached the gospel of insurrection against the United States of america and against the United States constitution. But he actually swore an oath to up
Republican party. We would get wiped out. And it would take generations to overcome a trump candidacy. I hope the republican senators know that. It is a reality. And it will not help the country, the most important thing. Impeaching him after he leaves office will be disastrous for this country and our party so in 2016, senator graham said electing donald trump would destroy the republican party. Now he said convicting him would do the same. Its interesting because lindsey at one point had said maybe a week ago, week and a half ago after the riots, after we find out the rioters were coming to kill mike pence Vice President of the United States and coming to kill nancy pelosi. We have news they were minutes away. Possibly seconds away seconds. From getting mike pence and doing serious bodily damage to him, possibly killing him, his family. And now lindsey is saying, wait a second. Dont impeach him. Please dont peach him. After mike pence and nancy pelosi and other members of congresss l
