Generation, who are more empathetic and compassionate towards their fellow human beings than previous generations. And, yes, some of that comes with the idealism of youth, but it comes with young peoples access to information about other peoples in other places. An understanding unique in human history, that their future is bound with the fates of other human beings on the other side of the world. I think of the thousands of Health Care Workers from around the world who volunteered to fight ebola. I remember the young entrepreneurs i met who are now starting new businesses in cuba. The parliamentarians who used to be just a few years ago Political Prisoners in myanmar. I think of the girls who have braved violence just to go to school in afghanistan and University Students who started programs online to reject the extremism of organizations like isil. I draw strength from the young americans, entrepreneurs, activists, soldiers, who citizens who are remaking our nation once again, you a
November. I was just in south america about a month ago to lay out the roadmap and how we are dealing with this. I just sent this morning one of our Deputy Assistant secretaries to iceland for a conference the next two days. This is critically important that we Pay Attention to this. Bottom line is, with all the crises of the moment, and thats part of my job, to manage immediate crisis, we also cannot lose sight of the strategic longerterm challenges that face our country either. And this is one that we got to be smart in how we handle it. Spent behind the political figures who would resist and argue about Climate Change respond differently when its coming from the pentagon . I think there is sometimes more of an awareness and edge put an issue it comes from the pentagon. Only because the military, the pentagon has maybe at least perceived by many people in more serious look at the world.

Make the case that donald j. Trump is a victim in all this. Jay sekulow came out and said look what he had to put up with with bob mueller, showing volume one i believe it was of the Mueller Report, not volume two, but volume one of the Mueller Report, saying that this is a president who had to put up with these fisa abuses. If the president was paranoid, he had a right to be paranoid. So they went back to the mueller case and said look, this is a guy whos been attacked unfairly, the democrats are just doing more of this because they want to get him out of office, and then jay sekulow went there on the conspiracy theories. He went there and raised the possibility that ukraine interfered in the last election. That is something that i wonder how the senators are going to react to that because again that is something that 17 intelligence agencies said didnt occur, the president s own fbi director chris wray said didnt occur, and jay sekulow went there again.

Impeachment proceedings. There is a lot still developing over the course of the night. Claire, before we talk to your former colleagues in the senate, let me ask you how that closing worked for you from adam schiff. Well, he wasnt as emotional as last night. But i can get emotional about the courage card he dealt. Because if youre from a tough state, the conflict between your principles and your polling, the conflict between what you believe in and what the majority of your state is screaming at you about is a very painful process. And what he tried to do tonight was isolate that conflict and put it in the context of a constitutional crisis and the strength of the United States senate to stand tall in history and maintain the equilibrium of the checks and balances in our constitution. And i can tell you it is a hard thing. And im not trying to express sympathy for the republicans. Dont go nuts on me here. I am trying to say those moments, if youre from a red state or blue state, they d
