i never read in the south carolina history books when i was your age. they didn't put history stories there. that is why, i generally believe we need to do a better job of telling the whole story. that is why it is important to support things like the international african-american museum. and then, pardon me senator, you go up columbia and you tell us what not to teach in the state legislator. like you want to put a lid on it, not you personally, but the edges later. that seems contrary to what i believe we need to do, that's tell more of the same story. and do more history that tells a more complete story of -- i want to give little examples. but someone mentioned in the audience that i spoke with right before i started, air, it wasn't so much the calhoun statue, but i never saw any statues that look like me. i was so pleased to have a gift a few months ago of a statue of a young girl, it's down now. we just installed it at the waterfront part. a young, african-american girl, and she was only six years at the time. her sculpture is one of pure joy, ho

if you talk to lindsey graham who i began within politics in south carolina he would say it is the cost of admission can't say what got to say but keeps me in the game and i'm willing to pay the cost of admission. i think it is a combination of those things, but the bottom line is it is disappointing because it equally important old saying is the only way evil prevails is when good people don't speak up. i admire the way you spoke up so consistently from the very beginning and i wish more of our colleagues had. >> i often think now, politics is become not just tribal but situational. if my guy does it it is fine, if your guy does it it is a human rights violation. those shoe is on the other foot. >> nikki haley who followed me in the governorship, has spoken up loud and clear about how outrageous she thinks it would be if the biden administration negotiated with the taliban and. the problem is as we both know, just a, months ago she was saying the opposite as she praised pompeo and their team saying it is all going according to plan, the trump administration approach negotiations with t
