very similar to georgia. even the climate, north to south, hills and the north, flatland in the south. an distance wise was accurate. if you call and say baghdad was around, we got transferred down you would call that may be that's probably geographically close. we were relieving a texas national guard unit those escorting feelers all the way up to, sometimes albeit a few -- if you are sorting feelers was heard service road or dirt? >> guest: and you still had issues? do they had local nationals driving print you don't know what their intentions are. they don't move with the same necessary urgency that we move with. you don't know if they're trying to set you up. you are always second-guessing who you were escorting, where, and sometimes would have issues with some of them, they would not go with us. but we did that for a week or so. they had been getting hit. they had taken some casualties they needed a platoon. so they chose my platoon and sent us up there. we were not there very long before time for us to

educators in georgia developed item units, put them into the georgia history curriculum. it altered social studies in the state afterwords. here is where danielle and i don't disagree on the characterization. i don't think that is the central story of america. the story of america is a stunning assertion of individual freedoms, not group identity and there's a tradition of anti-group identity in united states history. think of all the figures who are individualists, rogues, runaways, orphans, benjamin franklin, emerson, self-reliance, the road heading off to the wood dancing leave me the hell alone, emily dickinson going into her room and shutting the door, ralph ellison's invisible man, all the way to those motorcyclists in easy rider, one of the nicknames is captain america. anti-group identity. ask them what group, no, not part of any group. i don't want to be part of any group. that individualist lineage, where is that in the roadmap? >> lots to go back. >> let me start by disputing mark's characterization. he misunderstood the early question. we did not have group id

if you look first at the southern colonies from maryland down to georgia, mostly what we have is a formal commitment to the church of england. and the church of england, of course, is the national official church of england, of britain, and most of those colonies adopt what we would call a kind of formal establishment of the church of england. but the southern colonies overall are probably the least religious of all the colonial regions which, if you think about that for a second, you'll see why that's a little weird. we think of the southed today as the bible belt, correctly. but in the colonial period, it's different. in the colonial period, there is a kind of formal establishment at least of the church of england, but once you get out past the colonial cities, places like williamsburg, charleston and savannah, the rates of church going and commitment to the church of england is pretty limited. and part of the reason for that if you remember going back to the founding of jamestown these colonies are mostly being founded for business. and it's a little difficult to set up churches in the

future of the asian life in the, to the sort of the integrity of both states, all 3 states, basically georgia that are speaking come out to states armina mother by john. and of course, it's hard to imagine now, but in the future it's about the regional cooperation evolve. there's some sort of relationship so far. unfortunately, nice group chairs would like to live the all sorts of stop the secretion of the stock list, which is now irrelevant after the war and after 26 or 7 years of english, asian. so they should come with new ideas. right. and can you just elaborate briefly on what new ideas those are via you talk about proposals like what's yeah, my number one to the total and take it off as a budget. and i mean, yeah, that means, so there is some firms, so that in the us by john all that our boss stipulated in the united nation security solutions. and when charter, the 2nd is the opening of the communication lines asked people listed. busy by the agreements, it's been, i mean us by john rooker by russia was just to basically documents the flood ation basis, november 10th, and agreement sign

jennifer, victor is a professor of political science at georgia madison university. she says the memo show how explicit trumps efforts to overturn the election when democracy is die, they tend to not die in spectacular fashion and over some significant big event. but rather they degrade slowly over time. and so what we're seeing here is more evidence of this idea of the administration under the presidency of donald trump, having engaged in significant number of practices and behaviors that are frankly just plain anti democratic. to some extent, i think many of us suspected that this type of thing had gone on. donald trump did not accept the results of the election in november or december. and of course, there was the capital insurrection that he played some role in an effort to overturn the election results. and so his campaign of not believing in election results not wanting others to believe the election results. this, this evidence that has been presented today helps us to understand that this was very explicit from, from the beginning. really, there were clearly

according to major general tom cardin who sent 1,200 members of the georgia national guard to the capitol after january 6, his unit is facing, quote, draconian cuts if congress doesn't replenish funding before this weekend. we must not, we must not let that happen under our watch. the chairman of the appropriations committee, senator leahy, has been working diligently to come up with a bipartisan agreement, and now senator shelby has joined with him, and they have crafted a $2.1 billion supplemental appropriation bill to fill the shortfalls of our capitol police our national guard, and a number of our other vital defense operations. it's not everything that we wanted. the house bill is bigger and broader, but it does fill the need, and we need to fill it quickly. i want to thank senator leahy particularly for his relent relentlessness in pursuing this. i want to thank senator shelby for realizing how important this was and prodding members on his side of the aisle to move forward. and i also want to thank senators klobuchar and blunt, chairman of the appropriations -- of the authorization

the new rule in georgia provides for absentee voting than many blue states including new york. but the facts weren't about to stop the democrats' big lie. the absurd comparison to jim crow segregation and other kind of other horrors have continued apace. to provide a little more context about this fake hysteria, we can only look internationally. as one columnist recently observed in "the washington post," the balance struck by the state of georgia amounts to, quote, one of the most expansive voting access laws in the world. most other countries do not allow no-excuse absentee voting and drop boxes are also virtually unknown elsewhere. other democracies around the world. if georgia's elections are undemocratic, then almost all of our democratic allies are also undemocratic. if liberal activists around woke corporations believe their own rhetoric, they wouldn't stop at boycotting and threatening state of georgia. they couldn't possibly. they'd be busy trying to disinvest -- trying to divest from most of our any tow allies and -- nato allies and essentially the rest of the entire
