is so i think the democratic party will be able to answer that challenge. t impeachment going to help or hurt the democrats? >> it's always what people want, it's accountability. i'm with nancy pelosi on this. we can build a case for impeachment, but at the end of the day if this is just a partisan exercise and the republicans feel like, well, you know, we don't have to defend our democracy and our constitution the, fine. well, the democratic party's going to be in a pickle. at this point i think they're doing the right thing, they're doing oversight, and they've got to get to heart of the mueller report which is we had a foreign government attack our nation during an election cycle. if we don't protect our country and our democracy, then everybody's in jeopardy. gerry: do you think people sort of heard enough of that and say, you know what? the mueller thing's over, the president didn't break the law, let's just move on. you don't think that's -- if democrats dwell on that, that's going to hurt them? >> christopher wray said what the russians did in 2016 an

next up was bernie sanders at 1a%, neither, it has to be said, is a fresh or new voice in the democratic partyy pelosi, has made it plain. he doesn't think impeaching the president is the route to power in 2020 for the democrats. how disappointed are you by that? well, let me make a point. of the 2a announced democratic candidates, over half of them are for impeachment. sure. and how many of those are doing well in the polls? well, i think you've got to put in — joe biden is really the only leading contender who is not for impeachment. and he's cut — he is, as you say, he is trying to carve out for himself a position as sort of the moderate, the person who is in the middle, who is not taking on progressive causes, but is in effect moderating between the progressive wing of the party and moderate republicans. that's his — that's where he's trying to establish himself. why didn't you run? because last year you were clearly toying with it. you tempted and taunted a few reporters by saying that you weren't entirely sure what you were going to do. you've now said that you're not going to run for 20

he is a powerfulforce in the democratic party. is he in danger of pushing the party in the wrong direction? tom steyer, welcome to hardtalk. stephen, thank you for having me. would it be fair to say that, over the last couple of years, the impeachment of president donald trump has become your political obsession? well, let me say this. i started an organisation called nexgen america, that is the largest grassroots organisation, political organisation, in the united states, which did the largest youth voter mobilisation in american history last year, that knocked on $10 million with their partners in the organised labour movement, and that also ran three statewide propositions to push for 50% clean energy by 2030. so it's true that oui’ energy by 2030. so it's true that our organisation need to impeach has got over 8 million signatures, and i have spent a lot of time doing town hall stalking people about —— talking to people about the danger that trump presents to the people of the united states and to our way of life —— need to imp

as there is in many other socialists the social democratic parties in the rest of europe if we look at france the party there is virtually disappeared for instance but at the same time there has been quite a bit of resistance the guards aren't they are not under another's herself in person and that criticism has mounted in recent weeks in recent days especially it's become very vocal very public and very hurtful to her it's been a very in a sense very impolite in the way that party has dealt with her in the public and i think that has deeply hurt her and at the same time she has realized that the support within her party has waned to such an extent that she's not likely to win any vote to further to continue her leadership so that's why she threw in the troll today and well members of the social democrats have had mixed reactions to nala surprise announcement let's take a listen. i was never a fan of nonis but the way they treated her recently they would never have done lent to him and $120.00 but since they think this is i think it's a good step towards a new start for the s.p.d. no

me right now, anti-semitism within the democrat party, we heard omar and tlabib and the democrat party doesn't seem to know what to do with that, passed resolution some time ago that was very broad, they didn't name a particular culprit that had said antisemitic things, do you think this is a growing problem for democratic party and growing problem for the country? >> it is a definite problem. i would like to see the party more in the center because it's -- its voters are more in the center. i think the activist wing has enormous visittability out there. if you take a look at what happened at resolution of anti-semitism, that should have been a resolution about anti-semitism, why couldn't our party after the comments that were made by representative omar pass a simple resolution against anti-semitism. >> why couldn't they? >> because of too many forces trying to make a compromise and didn't want to make a strong statement, right, very easy to call everybody else antisemitic but about getting behind resolution that condemns anti-semitism clearly and without condemning every kind of bias

at this third way meeting, i was called, quote, an existential threat to the democratic party.ow, why am i an existential threat? well, maybe it's because my administration will finally take on the insurance companies and the drug companies and pass a medicare for all single payor program. maybe it's because we're going to break up the major banks on wall street and lower interest rates for consumers. maybe it's because we're going to take on the fossil fuel industry and transform our energy system into sustainable energy. maybe it's because we will demand that the wealthy and large corporations start paying their fair share of taxes so that we can make public colleges and universities tuition free and substantially reduce student debt in this country. and maybe it's because we're going to take on the military industrial complex and end -- and end endless wars in this country and not get into a war in iran. now existential threats notwithstanding, let me say a few words about how we defeat donald trump, the most dangerous president in american history. we defeat trump by runnin

hallmarks of the race is that as washington was running for mayor, a significant section of the democratic partyke off and supported his opponent. we saw a similar situation happen with nixon in 1968 when many democrats, because of the civil rights movement of lbj, left the democratic party and voted republican. any concerns on your part as this continuing divide in the democratic party with a section of the democratic already, which i think you're referring to as nancy pelosi's worst nightmare, might break off and support the right wing of the democratic party come even supporort trump forr presidentnt? >> it is a request in. in the h harold washington case, that is instructive. like you said, he won a an insurgenent primary in 1983 with the support of jesse jackson. and then in the general electition, the entirere democrt machine switched sides. this overwrwhelmingly democratac city won the general election by only f four poinints. was morene showewed it interested in maintaining its own control than it was whahat s up with the democratic party. he sought again -- youou saw it again in 1972. t

party younger americans party and the social democrats if there wasn't this yet again leadership crisis within the s.p.d. we mentioned the party leader the c.d.u. party leader that is a great karen bauer she also reacted to his resignation let's take a short listen working on the assumption that the social democrats will quickly make personnel of related decisions and ensure that the grand coalition remains as capable of acting for the c.d.u. it remains clear that this is not a time for party tactics we remain committed to the grand coalition so both women they're saying that they remain committed to the grand coalition with the social democrats is that coalition in serious trouble. it could be potentially because it's simply not up to the conservative c.d.u. to decide at this very moment in time whether this coalition will continue the social democrats are yet again in another crisis we heard. she's known here. basically an expectation towards the s.p.d. to essentially get its act together to elect a new d.j. and then to continue in government and critics within the social democrats of
