Story of the current president has been about Donald Trumps buffoonery, lies, racism, criminality. But also about the Republican Party enabling his assault on the presidency and our democratic systems. Donald trumps unprecedented second impeachment trial is heading to the senate. And republican senators face a decision that will define them and their party for generations. Whether or not they will convict a president who spent months pouring gasoline on a lie that whipped up a lynch mob to attack the u. S. Capitol with the intent to hard, kidnap or kill members of congress and even trumps own Vice President. Senate republican leader mitch mcxonl refusing to disrupt his vacation to bring the senate to bring the senate back immediately to put trump on trial. A move that allows trump to serve out the remainder of his term. Theyll need 17 republican senators to break ranks and convict trump.

Across kabul years before. It just simply was too dangerous. It is still a dangerous place, by the way. I dont want to sound pollyannish here. Things havent is changed for the better in afghanistan and the American People, sadly, dont know it. Relative to the american by way ofy itself part of the story, of course, is the growth in the number of students. When it opened i think it with 53 students. There is now 1,000 students there. 300 of them are women. And they have a broad number of courses. I wont go into all those. On ann a a newd campus an International Campus womens economic. Defense dollars to open up a womens Economic Development school, a. I. D. . t that why is it d. O. D. . Significantly to the security of the country, but i think basically the answer is because the d. O. D. Did a number of things including some of the commanders expenditures which helped the development of that is so essential to its security and this is part of it. At thee story we got American University
Blog. If theres a sentencing case, we look at another blog. There are legal specialty websites out there that offer instant analysis, or instant takes on the news and Supreme Court cases that we didnt use to have. Finally, i would just say, tony did, the court is very slow to embrace the digital revolution. This is after all a court that not only has tor us the ties but still gives pens to arguing counsel. You can see the briefs on the Supreme Courts website. You can get transcripts of the oral arguments. ,ou can hear the oral arguments but you have to wait until all the news value is completely drained out. [laughter] to give you a little brief it sight of how eager the court is to embrace this Cutting Edge Technology known as radio, in the olden days going back to the bush v. Gore case, the Supreme Court agreed to release the audio of the oral argument the same day. It used to be at the end of the term they all got in a box and went to the national archives. I dont mean the justices
Country, which is so essential to its security. , thee story we got American University the town student talks about his life experience. The taliban was there and took refuge with his family. Younger boy at that time. As third soon as the taliban were dripping out he came back. As a matter fact, how to read and to write. Now interviewing as a job as a. Ales manager there are full fulbright scholars at the university in kabul. He wanted me to say thank you to the American People. This is as close as i could come. The Education System and afghanistan. So many of them, the number given to them is counterintuitive. So i do not use it. In terms of the lower grades, before you get to colleges and universities, before the taliban was driven out, to the extent they have been, 900,000 boys. Now a Million Students in school. 3 million of those are girls. None of those who couldve been educated before we got there with our allies. Were 20,000e teachers, all male. Is now 200,000 teachers. 60,000
I believe we should not at this time add additional sanctions. We should fully keep those sanctions in place. That is how my believe, the main reason why iran is where they are out because those sanctions have had an impact. My committee, the Armed Services committee, has been very much involved putting those sanctions in place. Alas National Defense authorization act had the last tranche in that bill. Im not one who has any sense at all and opposed to sanctions. As opposed, i am very for it. If we respond to this possibility in a negative way instead of being study and keeping sanctions in place, if we tighten the screws now when it looks as though, apparently against some opposition at home and in iran, that the iranian leadership may be willing to talk about ending, modifying, changing and making less threatening their nuclear program, and to response is negative, they could very well lose the very countries, particularly russia and china, who have stood with us to put sanctions in
