this was a big gamble by frederick mertz footing with the afd on an immigration bill, and that is theirst time were a mainstream party voted with the afd. this came to a lot of shock from the centrists, but it was also a poor showing because even for those who thought he was being pragmatic, the vote did not pass parliament because he could not get his own party and line, and the consequence is the cdu coming in at 8% -- 28%, and what it has not done is obviously he is trying to undercut the afd saying cdu can be strong on immigration. we saw a bit of growth for the greens and other parts of the political spectrum, so this is releasing largely as a political blunder for the cdu and as dented support and has not changed meaningfully in terms of who will be in the running, but did has created once again a fragmented political landscape in germany. it will be harder as these votes dissipate and all of these parties converge around 20% to bill the government when the time comes. lizzy: if we could link politics and the corporate dots, tesla sales in germany are at their lowest levels ever

look, frederick douglass, reverend doctor martin luther king, jr. fannie lou hamer sat down with some of the most detestable people in our nation's history. and if they can sit down and work through elements of threat, certainly i can do that. what is very obvious, though, to me, is that there is true animus against progressive politics that see transformation through the lens of liberation. and particularly as we celebrate black history month. when you look at the accomplishments that we have made over the course of decades in this country, it has always been through the lens of black folks. look, here's the part that's actually fascinating to me, especially as we talk about dei during the great depression. unemployment for white men was 30%. reverend al and our country called it a national crisis. they got housing, they got education, they got shovels before there were things to dig. no one talked about diversity, equity and inclusion when white men needed to be made whole. and now you have black folks, brown folks, asian folks. you have lgbtq plu

how concerned are you about this you know, frederick, it's. >> really concerning because we've not seen. >> an outbreak. >> like this. it's quite unprecedented to have this many animals, particularly mammals that live in close proximity to humans, have this many cases. and with every new infection, the risk of mutation increases. and so when we saw news that this new, more severe genotype that had previously only been infecting birds, now in dairy cattle, it does raise a lot of alarms that we are not ahead of this outbreak. it is happening at a scale that we cannot get ahold of. and in the absence of really good data and really real time data, we're kind of flying in the dark here. >> so what has to be done to get ahead of it? or at least contain this outbreak? >> a few things we need massive surveillance. we need to upscale our surveillance at a very local level with farmers, with cattle, with all types of bird species. we need to increase vaccination, vaccination, access to those who are most at risk. those include farmers and people who are in close proximity, like veterinarians. and

because this is a country, you know, martin luther king, frederick douglass, abraham lincoln, you know, on the conservative side. yeah, ronald reagan, jfk, tremendous oratory tradition, but it kind of feels like we're bit of a rut here, terry. you know, unless i'm missing something, let's change it. i think it's changed in terms of what we want from our leaders. so i think if someone got up today and, spoke like john f kennedy and and you know what i'm talking about, right? this kind of like soaring rhetoric, like i think most of americans would kind of scratch their head and like, what are you doing? that's not how we speak and that's not what we expect of our leaders. and so, in a way, is this sort of catch 22. we we don't expect that. we don't want that. but then what we get is well, what we get was what we get. i mean, i think most one of the things that barack obama talked to me about over the years that i include in the book is is said, you shouldn't talk like john f kennedy because you're not john f kennedy. you should have a conversation. it's something he would often tell us.
