1
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,820
time.

2
00:03:12,500 --> 00:03:15,520
is that I'm thinking about as we
move through this historic

3
00:03:09,980 --> 00:03:12,500
in close touch with you and I will
keep you posted on what it

4
00:03:07,220 --> 00:03:09,980
really seriously in the coming weeks.
I look forward to seeing

5
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,220
that is a a serious. Responsibility
that I'm gonna be taking

6
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:03,040
Senate is whether that he should
be removed from office and

7
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,560
been impeached and the question
before the United States.

8
00:02:51,660 --> 00:02:55,760
in the in the trial. in this trial,
the President has been has

9
00:02:47,700 --> 00:02:51,660
firsthand knowledge of the facts
that we are considering here

10
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,700
another opportunity to ask to hear
from witnesses that have

11
00:02:40,580 --> 00:02:43,880
Representatives have made their
cases that then we'll have

12
00:02:33,700 --> 00:02:37,700
us have ever seen I. That as we
move through next week and the

13
00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:40,580
following week and both the President
and the US House of

14
00:02:29,180 --> 00:02:33,700
Justice and this is gonna be like
nothing that I think many of

15
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,180
raise your hand and you pledge an
oath to provide impartial

16
00:02:18,020 --> 00:02:22,300
that there is a special feeling
a feeling of real seriousness

17
00:02:22,300 --> 00:02:25,280
that you have when you walk on to
the Senate floor and you

18
00:02:14,740 --> 00:02:18,020
of my my good friend. Patty Murray
from Washington tells me

19
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,740
colleagues in the Senate who have
been here for a while I think

20
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,600
used to be in the day before people
had all this technology, my

21
00:02:03,020 --> 00:02:06,760
watches. We won't be able to have
so no technology is Like it

22
00:01:59,260 --> 00:02:03,020
will be with our cellphones or our
iPads. Even our Apple

23
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,260
because on the floor of the Senate
during the trial, none of us

24
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,000
afternoon and including on Saturdays
and it's interesting

25
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,320
We think six days a week starting
at around 10 'clock in the

26
00:01:43,940 --> 00:01:47,840
and make their presentation of their
case and we're gonna meet.

27
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,940
case, then following that the president's
lawyers will come in

28
00:01:30,860 --> 00:01:35,360
see I think is first the US House
of Representatives will come

29
00:01:27,580 --> 00:01:30,860
likely that will be resolved later
next week. What you're gonna

30
00:01:24,980 --> 00:01:27,580
impeachment trial that I would like
to hear from but most

31
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,980
firsthand knowledge of what we're
discussing in this

32
00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:21,880
have witnesses and there are many
witnesses that we know have

33
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:17,320
important to have the opportunity
to hear from witnesses trials

34
00:01:09,820 --> 00:01:12,760
a simple majority. Now, I believe
really strongly that it's

35
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,820
to decide for ourselves what rules
we want and it's decided by

36
00:01:03,260 --> 00:01:05,800
we're also function a little bit
like the judge because we get

37
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,260
some ways the Senators are jurors
on this trial. In other ways,

38
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,560
will apply as we go through the
Senate process. you know in

39
00:00:52,460 --> 00:00:55,280
first thing that will happen is
that we'll discuss what rules

40
00:00:47,340 --> 00:00:52,460
seriously. The trial will begin
in earnest next Tuesday and the

41
00:00:43,940 --> 00:00:47,340
oath to provide impartial Justice
and I take that really really

42
00:00:40,420 --> 00:00:43,940
oath than our oath that we took
when became senators. It's an

43
00:00:36,740 --> 00:00:40,420
sworn in and this is interesting.
We're sworn in to a different

44
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,740
impeachment trial and then each
one of us senators will also be

45
00:00:28,780 --> 00:00:33,520
the Supreme Court. John Roberts
is sworn in at to The

46
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,700
on to the Senate floor and read
the articles after that. I'll

47
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,780
we will be on the floor of the Senate
when the chief Justice of

48
00:00:21,700 --> 00:00:25,560
have lunch with my fellow caucus
members and then at 20 'clock

49
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,720
House of Representatives. The House
managers will actually come

50
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:15,120
today we will receive the articles
of impeachment for the US

51
00:00:08,180 --> 00:00:11,520
perspective about what this is going
to be like so at noon

52
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,520
So in a couple of minutes, I'm gonna
go up on to the Senate

53
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,480
floor and we're going to begin the
impeachment proceedings and

54
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:40,200
in and provide. 20 - four hours
of their presentation of their

55
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,180
I thought I would just tell you
a little bit from my
