Please hit them off to some spray, Kate Winslet, the things you learn about life from the movies later on Sunday morning. Rita braver talks with America's first transgender State Sen. Sarah McBride of Delaware Maj. Garrett has the latest on yesterday's Senate impeachment proceedings plus a love story from Steve Hartman and more.

It's a Valentine's Day Sunday morning February 14, 2021 and will be right back. We've just been through quite a week in Washington, followed by quite a day. Yesterday, a rare Saturday session of the Senate in which former Pres. Donald Trump was acquitted on after a historic second impeachment trial is not guilty as charged. The article, the vote was 57 guilty 43 not guilty. Short of the two thirds majority required here is Maj. Garrett something is up. Dues are 57 the news 43. The final vote on acquittal came 10 votes short of the 67 required to convict former Pres. Donald Trump of inciting the January 6 riot at the US Capitol. We fight like hell you don't fight like hell of a country anymore that is sold by flag-waving arm from supporters came shortly after the president spoke and followed months of him spewing the so-called big law that he had been fraudulently denied reelection Democratic impeachment manager Joe Negus of Colorado because he assembled the mom he summoned the mob and he incited the mob. Mr. Berger guilty seven Republicans voted to convict not among them. Kentucky's Mitch McConnell yet. The Senate Minority Leader later excoriated Mr. Trump's election fraud lies and the violence that he said flowed from them. There's no question the present crop is practically morally responsible for provoking history will record this impeachment process both in the house and the Senate is the most bipartisan exercise of its kind acquittal as we know, was almost always certain, but the trial was about much more than the verdict it established a historical record about what happened that horrible day. New video release during the proceedings revealed the mob and bludgeoning law enforcement at least one officer. In agony between doors more than 130 officers were injured, many serious one died to committed suicide in the immediate aftermath of the onslaught impeachment manager David Sisley of Rhode Island praised the police showed up here to serve, to serve the American people to serve their government to serve all of us for the first time we saw VP Mike pence and his entourage exiting the Senate chamber seeking safety center mitt Romney running from marauders guided by Capitol police officer Eugene Goodman and this Senate Democratic leader Charles Schumer, led by his arm security retreating down a basement hallway.

This America lead impeachment manager Jamie Raskin of Maryland, our country and our democracy ever be the same if we don't hold accountable the person responsible for inciting the violent attack against our country. The trial exposed Republican divisions over Mr. Trump's offenses and their gravity and affirmed the former president's powerful sway over the GOP. The specter of a 2024 Trump bid for the presidency hung over the proceedings house manager Ted lieu of California, you know, I'm not afraid of Donald Trump running again for years I'm afraid is and run again and lose she can do this again. House managers argue Pres. Trump spent months spreading this information that culminated in an respect delegate Stacy Plaskett of the Virgin Islands and he had a pattern and practice praising and encouraging that violence never ever condemning the insurgents believe that they would doing duty out there president they were following his orders, the former president's legal team knew they'd likely prevail and mounted a defense based on complaints about partisanship process and First Amendment protections for political speech attorney Michael Vanderveen no thinking person could seriously believe that the president's January 6 speech on the ellipse wasn't any way and incitement to violence or insurrection, attorney David shown you get more due process. In this when you find a parking ticket to Trump's lawyers accused Democrats of using language similar to their clients to fight. Suddenly the word fight is off limits sparrows the hypocrisy false indignation left unsaid. None of those examples were followed by armed insurrection. The president's attorneys did not attempt to counter the accusation.

Mr. Trump did nothing to stop the violence once it started, nor did they deny the election was fair and accurate this trial in the final analysis is not about Donald Trump the country in the world know who Donald Trump is this trial is about who we are who we are, at one point in the trial. Congressman Raskin quoted French Enlightenment philosopher Voltaire. Anyone who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.

Another of Voltaire's observations might also apply. Every man is guilty of all the good he did not do.

Never underestimate the strength a person in need can find thanks to the kindness of strangers. Jim Axelrod has one woman's remarkable story on her graduation day from Princeton in 2010 selected drugs future seemed luminous and limitless. At that age time fills Internet sales like yellow you figured out you have time to try things to experiment that turned out. I didn't have time. 11 months later, leukemia diagnosis, robbed her of that time, all that promise replaced by a brutal chemo regimen would only provide a one in three chance of survival. I remember going on social media and seeing photographs of my friends, going to parties and starting new jobs and traveling.

It really felt like my life was over before rare moments of joy like when an old pal for music camp showed up at her cancer ward with his band were overwhelmed by her new reality. What do you remember about how you were able to process it as it was happening. I'm not sure I did a lot of processing at the overwhelm is so great that I was in a state of total shock, isolated, disoriented and voiceless.

Sue Leica began to write. Finding something steady in her daily journal entries act of affirmation. It was also an act of announcing seven and and when I realize that writing is that really survival is its own kind of creative act. Posting them on a blog she caught the eye of the New York Times editor who offered her a column and video series life interrupted Nichols future Nikon lots five depend marrow transplant unit and I remember waking up the next morning and opening my inbox and seeing hundreds of emails from strangers all around overnight so Leica had which she adjourned for most purpose. There's effective affect me in the transplant unit where I have a vomit bucket under one arm.

I have my laptop on my knees and I'm crying not because I'm about to have a bone marrow transplant that because I've missed a deadline setting a standard for workaholism Delta 575, after a traumatic 3 1/2 year ordeal of treatment, including that last chance. Bone marrow transplant that carried a life-threatening risk of heart failure and organ damage. Sue Leica beat the odds she was cancer free. No longer sick but not exactly well. I've never felt lost. I couldn't return to the person I been pre-diagnosis that is no longer a cancer patient had no idea my files but you knew that you didn't want your life to be defined by the worst thing that ever happened I would have to figure out a way not to move on because I don't think that's possible that move forward and found myself returning to this big wooden box filled with letters that I'd received from all kinds of bull the year from the chest.

She chose 22 letters and hit the road with her dog, Oscar for 100 day 15,000 mile reset ritual meeting strangers she felt had something to teacher about healing like a professor named Howard in Ohio you get immersed in life again. Catchphrases like good, joyful, fearless teenage survivor in Florida named unique to imagine yourself for all active and I want to be my inmate in Texas named little GQ food written from death row and affirmed the power of connection with you during other theaters in the hospital that I got really really good at Scrabble to me and laughed anything need to her struggle to heal is the subject of her new book between two kingdoms. The title of the pack is a reference to the brilliant Susan Sontag talks about how we all have developed since it came down sick in the kingdom of the balance only a matter of time before we use their passport at the place that I found myself but neither a crippling limbo, especially when it came to love camp, but he comes in That it with his music and got himself a pretty good job. Years later, and Jean Baptiste is hard for me to imagine future time when I couldn't imagine myself existing in the future. Yet what has she given you in terms of lessons about life and love you have a limited time get to it. I think that that is the biggest lesson embraced the imperfection their history with just what her heart trust.affect and scare him away. He was right there so I could towards road trip may have been, but her journey has not and she knows that struggle will always be along for the ride revealed to say that I'm still would Peter imply that there is an endpoint and I think healing is something that reality that will all continually do for the rest of our lives this state legislator doesn't usually get national attention usually hears me to pray for Sarah McBride probably swear when McBride was born in Delaware State Sen. last month.

The Constitution's history. Somehow I got McBride you are now the country's highest ranking elected shall is also a trans person with I think it's awe-inspiring. I feel a deep sense of responsibility. This is not the first time Sarah McBride has made history so's the story of each is an experience in your life. Love to just 30 years.

She's the strongest, most resilient person I know and David McBride did not know for many years that the child they thought of as their youngest son had a secret from my earliest memories. I remember lying in my bed at night praying that I would wake up the next day and be myself, my family would be proud of me and judge me on my merits and see was a girl and see me as myself, but even then, McBride had a passion for politics but at the same time it did not seem like it was possible to be out and trans and to be involved in politics, whether that's running for office serving in government, even being on a campaign still McBride worked on the Atty. Gen. campaign of bold by the president's late son of former Delaware Gov. Jack Markel. I knew this young person is something very special number.

Things are very special one.

Unbelievably, articulate and a great warrior still struggling to fit in as a male. McBride attended American University in DC elected student body president, but finally by Christmas 2011 pain could not be denied, and it wasn't until I was student body president. I had that the experiences and the courage and the confidence in the insight that showed me that the things I told myself I feel that pain wouldn't when Sarah comes and says mom and dad, I've got something to tell you your immediate response. I was devastated. You fell on the floor fell on the floor and started weeping because because I felt that she would discriminated against at every turn. Despite the initial shock.

I knew we were going to be supportive of her.

The minute she came out to him absolutely and there was never a doubt in my mind student body president term ended. McBride published this in the university newspaper. What did it feel like for you to finally be able to say hey guess what this is going complete and utter relief next year. Sarah McBride would make history joining the Obama Biden administration as the first openly transgender female White House intern was in the White House, and then she first encountered the handsome young attorney trans man named Andrew Cray. Andy was the kindest, funniest, smartest person I ever met. The two became a couple. McBride started working in Delaware with her parents by her side just 22 years old. She led the fight to pass the state's first law that protects transgender people from discrimination but just his life was looking sorry Sarah McBride's partner Andrew Cray got sobering news. I think everyone fears. Hearing that part.

In particular, cancer.

It was a sad and scary year-long battle with McBride acting as crazed caregiver. I remember breaking down and selfishly sat can't do this in and what I meant was I can't. I need help. To this day. What makes me feel guilty is that in that moment complete fear for him.

He was trying to comfort me. Finally when they learned Cray's cancer was terminally married and then four days after our wedding. He passed away. How hard was it for you to living sums in the life incredibly difficult. But then again I also felt like I saw how precious life was and I felt closer to Andy going back to work. McBride's work is an advocate for LGBT Q rights helped earn her another store will will we be a nation where there is only one way to love only one way to love and only one way to live in 2016, at the invitation of the Clinton campaign.

She became the first transgender person's national convention.

99% of that arena didn't know anything about me. They did know though that this was a moment winning a state Senate seat was also a moment but she says her life is still not complete. Do you hope you'll find a partner, someone who you enjoy sharing the rest of your life with. I do.

There are so many instances, there are so many moments during this campaign, where thought about handy. I wish I could have him comfort me and it really reinforced for me. How, eventually, I would like to have a partner in life, I've spent the last two months meeting with constituents. Meanwhile, Sarah McBride is well aware being the highest elected transgender official US history has castor into a bright spotlight. I feel a responsibility to ensure that while I may be the first that I'm not the last answer, the more examples we have more and more communities and more states across the country. The more people will see step up and inevitably the more people will see when downstream progress and start doing crazy time once finals is.

The point is we are bad people in the best way to protect good people is to convict the final season Millstream exclusively on this is intelligence matters with former acting Dir. of the CIA.

Michael Morel bridge Colby is cofounder and principal of the Marathon initiative project focused on developing strategies to prepare the United States for an era of sustained great power competition states put her mind to something, we can usually figure it out what people are saying and what we can know analytically and empirically as our strategic situation or motor situations not being matched up follow. Intelligence matters were ever you get your podcasts this past week. The passing original phenomenally musical one deeply controversy Larry Flynt died Wednesday of heart failure in his Los Angeles home. The publisher of Hustler magazine Flynt gleefully challenged taboo after taboo is raunchy and demeaning depictions of women were widely announced. While Flynn's ultimate Supreme Court victory against a libel suit brought by the late Rev. Jerry Falwell one Flynn's reputation as something of a free-speech champion.

He spoke with Aaron Moriarty in 2014.

Where do all that stuff over? He went around, but I'm glad I did it.

Hell yeah does paralyzed from the waist down after a 1978 shooting Flynt spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair. Larry Flynt was 78 Mary Wilson died Monday at her home in Nevada and found a member of this, along with Diana Ross and Florence Ballard Wilson was part of the Motown records powerhouse Supremes had Dawson number one in the 19 along with that came stresses and changes. Florence Ballard was placed by Cindy Birdsong in 1967 Diana Ross left in 1970, leaving Mary Wilson as the sole original member when the group broke up for good in 1977.

She went onto a long solo career and published an autobiography in 1980. Six years later inducted into the rock 'n' roll statements. Diana Ross said Supremes will live on in our heart. Mary Wilson was 76 jazz rock fusion pianist. Check Korea, died Tuesday in his Florida home, the son of a trumpeter and bandleader Korea forged his own course in music dropping out of both Columbia and Julliard to pursue his passion on his own terms. In 1968 he joined the Miles Davis quintet as a pianist and a 1971 formed his own group return to forever Korea declined to be pigeonholed and anyone category as he told Sunday mornings. Dr. Billy Taylor if I can conceive of something with my imagination.

Why can I do it I should be able to to do it. Korea recorded 90 albums and was named a national endowment of the arts jazz master in 2006 123 Grammys for Latin Grammy and Claude Nguyen's Grammy next month. Chicory was 79 Canon international border in this time of cove. Stop the course of true love a question for Steve Hartman, Scott Myers of Detroit, Michigan and Carolyn Gonyea of Windsor, Canada, and one of the shortest long-distance relationships in North America.

We could literally way that one another way better and she was Scott and Carolyn have been dating a couple years used to see each other all the time but when covert closed all land border crossings the nonessential travel.

This milewide waterway became an ocean. So what is it take for you to see real right so I get in my car drive for 1/2 hours to the airport in Toronto got on an airplane flew literally back to where I started the private network. How much I love the got together a few other times but flights are expensive, so most of their visits are decidedly less intimate. Scott get my binoculars out as we speak. This past week, they came to the river at our request no show just how close but yet so far.

I know I miss our normal. You know there are other fish in the Detroit River.

You are the 401st person I believe that the affect question.

The last year my person along our borders.

There are thousands of couples like Carolyn and Scott stranded on separate shores, waiting for land crossings open and I share their story today in hopes that their curse illuminates your blessing to be stuck at home with the one you love on Valentine's Day.

Sounds pretty perfect about. And Carolyn says well worth waiting for land last March with a very important question what your favorite color exactly though.

I'm very much looking forward got nice being able to finally travel when he can and very romantic manner. What might color it will yes that's Kate Winslet and Titanic. One of the most successful movies of all time. Her latest performance finds Winslet firmly on solid ground and talking with Mark Phillips.

The beach isn't what it used to be cove at times, but as places to be stuck during lockdown go you could do worse than the windswept strip of sand just up the lane from Kate Winslet's place of okay no longer just walk along with the tablet comes spending a lot of time looking down while shooting her latest movie on the beach not far from her home on so eminent which had a recent theater run screaming, tells the story of Mary and a fossil hunter in the 1800 and was a real person scoured the shoreline what's known as Jurassic Coast which, because of a quirk of geology is laced with fossils and it turns out, made several major discoveries including the fossilized skeleton of what we now call the pterodactyl.

The flying dinosaur but being the woman she wasn't credited at the time, only men could be scientists of the 1840s, your reputation is something I've often heard is discussed in the geographical Society in London. This course I knew Marianne was but I knew shamefully about how she was living in a patriarchal society the world, geology, and science was entirely dominated by men who would be appropriate.

How Oaxacan and claim it as I read actually work in the movie Winslet's very heading is not a paleontologist press list who has a love affair with costar Sir Sharon, the story Ben's history to modern sensibilities. There is no evidence the affair ever happened. It felt what Mary, I feel the lack of same-sex love stories in mainstream. I often feel that the narratives underpinned by fair secrecy and shame and I think that in Ammonite. It's about two people who fall in love on the fact that they are both women is very much second-rate to that Winslet has been promoting her film close to home because of covert travel restrictions socially distance walk along the beach interview in an open sided converted bar. She's kind of hoping things may have changed forever. I do definitely feel that that world doing the environment in terms of not flying here there and ever. Amen. You know you would be flying everywhere, interviewing people and it does definitely make one feel just that little bit better about just walking across the Lord and not having to compensate much what happened to the gaps.

Well, we place now with the flood to do late-night talkshow. Yeah, I mean in the in the good old days and Armenta getting on a plane going and doing less and intending on getting on the plane coming straight at him again.

I do think they state probably all but gone because it has actually been working actually because of another twist of moviemaking faith. Winslet saw this pandemic thing coming. Isolating the sick writing those we believe are exposed. She had a major role in the 2011 film Teijin where an imaginary virus runs rampant 72 hours will know what it is clearly not lucky when this thing first happened you think this is life imitating art I absent a debt I was wearing a mosque long before adding any of my friends who thought I was just crazy like a scattering athletic eyes. It's coming it's coming please.

His mom is yet has some spray Ammonite was shot BC before covert as we now measure time like everyone else. Winslet wonders if that kind of life will ever return. It does so far away even just having it having a glass of wine in her hair and makeup trailer with the girls at the end of the week. I can't fathom the well that would be little love letter letter pub, which is devastating. Special Kate Winslet's part in Ammonite is the type of strong complex characters is drawn to lately follows on from roles like Joanna Hoffman, Steve Jobs, assistance and conscience in the 2015 movie Steve Jobs called the Wall Street Journal to take out of no. Why bother notifying Macy's that tomorrow is it goes back further to her Oscar-winning depiction of Nazi concentration camp guard Hanna Schmitz in 2008's. The reader is just one of the gods. She wasn't shocked because he will you write no no it's all a long way from that movie about that big book in which she splashed into the big time. When I get 1021 on 21 year older than my daughter so I was still letting who I was learning about Crofton. I was waiting I wasn't supposed to be famous. I wasn't meant to be talked about and noted infected how these offers made to me by big studios.

Instead she chose her own path.

That was a lot of show. I mean come around again unite you where you shop, I'm sure I'll make that tiny movie in Marrakesh that no one can say I'm good with that paid off. I think it pays to be true to your self. But I'm definitely a time in my life where I really do feel very strongly about telling stories of unsung heroines and also to play my part in ensuring that women on deck to find it on film is much as I feel they perhaps have been, it's change in the old Hollywood no parts for over aging women are aging, but what I am five life of your demonstrating that effect. There are substance this and put it this way that they sent me how to find than the great wealth and then records will beckon to some extent because you will have the same size budget that you would if it were the male counterpart playing a leading role that is just the case will tell you all the money you got to prove the feeling of, to prove something that I just always want to be doing this job. I just love I actually love acting I love it more as the years that Diane I'm the most unlikely version of this, you know, I didn't have anyone giving me a leg up. I didn't have any special training will pixel tricks always in the back door. I didn't have any blood he minded the nation. Good.

Lucky you just did what town do what most don't expect that the weld thing. Mistakes are great, make mistakes and learn from them and just keep going and keeping the magic of childhood alive in these coven times is good medicine opinions from our Dr. John the meeting during the year full of questions from our children can go to anyone's house groups around the world have understood that embracing science doesn't mean abandoning the magic of childhood.

I took a trip up there to the North Pole.

I went there and I vaccinated Santa Claus myself. You can come down the chimney he can leave the presence he can leave and you have nothing to worry about last spring as she implemented nationwide restrictions that successfully control the spread of covert, 19 New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda R. Dern addressed issues that were troubling her youngest constituents will be placed in our and that we do consider both the tooth fairy and the Easter Bunny to be essential. Lucas just last month in Prince George in Western Canada, vice principal Sandy Whitehead-based tooth fairy crisis when five-year-old Gavin Jensen lost his front tooth twice now or around since the pandemic began our kids how to put up with a lot of change, which makes it more important than ever for them to know there are some things they can always take to the bank so like Mary Poppins Whitehead reached into her magical bag of tricks and pulled out a form letter to the tooth fairy that a parent had given her two years earlier actually lie she wrote on official school stationary despite the heroic efforts of the fearless search team. We were unable to recover as a trained vice principal at Hobby dentist.

I can verify that there is definitely a gap in Gavin's teeth that was not there this morning when he came in.

Please accept this letter as official verification of a lost tooth and provide the standard monetary exchange rate you normally use for a realtor not Whitehead and her letter with the PX. I am still waiting for the money for my wisdom teeth from 2000 please pay as soon as possible. I have bills to pay a sweet reminder that keeping magical life for our children were also keeping it alive for ourselves.
