Covered the coverup trial. I understand people were convicted. But you need to understand that lawyers, lawyers donts play fair. They argue two things. They can argue, look, the person didnt do the crime. The person wasnt guilty. But usually in a political scandal the argument is there wasnt enough proof to find them guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Very high standard. Its not theyre blameless, its not theyre innocent. But we say wed rather let 100 guilty go free than convict one innocent man. So were were loading it to a very high standard. The other thing that lawyers argue, which the public sometimes has trouble with, is procedure. If you didnt get that evidence into the courtroom properly, then it cant come in. If you didnt share exculpatory information properly with defense, those are procedural violations which can equally invalidate a verdict. And im happy to argue both. So, thats thats kind of what were going to go through. One word from last week. Last week was the allure of
Solemn responsibility as president of the United States if i had done so. I want to end this war. The American People want to end this war. The people of South Vietnam want to end this war. But we want to end it permanently so that the younger brothers of our soldiers in vietnam will not have to fight in the future in another vietnam some place else in the world. The fact that there is no easy way to end the war does not mean that we have no choice but to let the war drag on with no end in sight. For four years, american boys have been fighting and dying in vietnam. For 12 months, our negotiators have been talking with the other side in paris. And yet the fighting goes on. The destruction continues. Brave men still die. The time has come for some new initiatives. Repeating the old formulas and the tired rhetoric of the past is not enough. When americans are risking their lives in war, it is the responsibility of their leaders to take some risks for peace. I would like to report to you

He was 13 years old and living in nagasaki. He lived about two miles from ground zero and somehow survived even though the bomb devastated his neighborhood. Thats just amazing. Two days later he and his mother visited the epicenter searching for their family members who live nearby. Heres how he described the scene. Im going to translate this one as well. Translator he says houses were gone. Only the steel bars of concrete buildings stood bare and hollow. Steel bars of factories were entirely bent. Everything else was a burnt field. On the way to my aunts house we saw blackened bodies all over the place. They probably burned underneath houses that burned down. People who died from severe injuries and burns they were left on the ground without being collected. Those who were gravelly injured and alive were left to writhe in pain without rescue. Today, mr. Tanaka is a Nuclear Engineer himts and hes an activist against Nuclear Weapons. He feels things are going in the wrong direction. Lis
And talk with people at different backgrounds. Its an opportunity to hear firsthand from conservative leaders. I think mark meadows is certainly a conservative leader. After 27 years as a successful Small Business leader, he decided it was time to do something in washington. He iran for office and was elected in 2012. He has been representing the good constituents of the 11th district of North Carolina since that time and in his third term. He serves on the House Oversight and government reform committee, the House Foreign Affairs committee and the house transportation and infrastructure committee. Over a year ago congressman meadow was elected chairman of the House Freedom caucus, a group of about 40 members who are really committed to making sure those who think their voices are not heard in washington are indeed heard. Congressman meadows is a champion of all things conservative. He is a champion of fiscal responsibility, of a government being accountable to the people, he is a lead
