in 2021, i will not be running as candidate for the cdu again, and i will not be running as a candidate for the lower house. anyll not be taking on other political positions either. for the rest of this parliamentary term, i am prepared to continue to serve as means that and that to a large extent, i am turning away from what i had always said , which is that the chair of the party and chancellorship should go together. this is a bit of a risk, but i think it is a risk i should take and want to take. run as chancellor again, then i would not have taken this decision, but i don't. with this decision, i am trying to contribute to making it possible for the german government to finally focus on good governance, and that is what people are quite right in calling for. my intention is based on the attention of the german government to carry out an evaluation of its work, cdu, thisand spd have agreed to and their coalition agreement. my party will be able to elect a new party chair as well as put together a new party program and will be able to focus on the time that will come after i lay down

will be-- on tuesday i will be running for president of the united states. >> i did not say that iual, very casual, do i that all the time, yes, that i will be running for president of the united states. 2020 son the horizon. people are looking going who will represent the democratic party. if you were to get to that point, do you genuinely believe that you could go toe to toe with donald trump understanding that there is no skeleton in his closet. like he is the skeleton in the closeted-- schos et. you realize there is not much-- do you understand the gravity of the situation. you are up against somebody who, like he is talking point proof. is he the teflon don, nothing gets through him. what do you think would you do differently in going up against donald trump. >> well, i would say two things, first of all, if i decide to run, i don't think that you are going to beat donald trump by trying to be donald trump. (applause) i watch a lot of boxing. if you watch boxing or sports or other things, you see that oftentimes people that are considered invincible are not beaten by somebody

i never heard you complain about the ads that were running against mr. cisneros again on an allegation that he was denying. >> on this issue i didn't take any -- the i didn't want say anything about anything -- i didn't say anything about anything not each for kavanaugh or when he was accused. this is not an issue that i was running on. the a ads that he's referring to, it's not my ads, right? >> moderator: but you could say stop the ads. you don't say stop the ads. >> that is being very knew year about how a super pac is run. not supposed to have any correspondence or correlation with anything. i didn't make any statement about this. the only thing i said was for both caf falling or -- kavanaugh or mr. cisneros, any woman who wants to come forward and tell her story should be given the opportunity to tell their side of the story. simple as that. >> it's just more of an example, more of an example of mrs. kim's lack of to speak up when things happen. she doesn't speak up against donald trump when he was pulling kids away from the border -- >> i, no, no, n

in the video clearly articulated why i was running for the position but i think, for any candidate runninghink part of your narrative has to also be about who you are. your personal story. we all have very compelling personal stories. the reason why the announcement video was powerful was because i talked about my personal story. but then i related it to my district. which as i mentioned is an immigrant heavy, it's a majority minority district. when i talked about how my family and i fled as refugees and came to the u.s. and we actually came to the u.s. through the southern border. we jumped over a fence. ... ... because representation matters. we need to ensure that our elected officials represent a better representation of our communities. >> thank you so much. >> i have time for one more question. one more minute. back there. get the mic over. >> high. the question was, what can we as a younger generation, what do you think we can do to help our community? >> thirty seconds. what can we do to make sure our community -- what? >> what should we do to help the community and the elections f

and if it hadn't been clear to me that i wouldn't be running again i wouldn't have seen as tenable toseparate the two but since it's only a limited period of time that we will be doing this i think it may help us focus more on our government work to have a strong party chair a chancellor and head of the parliamentary group but only for temporary amount of time. madam chancellor you did you inform your see her phone in advance or did she find out about your decision by twitter. and also we do continue to leave her and them as minister of interior well i think what counts today. for me is that yes i did inform her see her for us and and analysts before everyone else. and there's a speaker there at the back of wisconsin's and madam chancellor and this comes from and he's not and some of them didn't want to now last chancellor you will have to work closely together with the new cd your leadership but of course it will depend on the person's so what speaks in favor of it being. a swedish merits how can you be sure that they will help you and continue to support you to a lot of your positio

i am running to be new mexico's u.s. senator, and i care about our state and our country, and i would look at all the evidence before me before i am willing to make that decision. thank you. doug: rebuttal opportunity now, mr. johnson. you have 30 seconds. gov. johnson: when i was governor of new mexico, i've reversed myself on the death penalty, recognizing there are mistakes made when it comes to the death penalty, that we actually put innocent people to death. so in this country, first and foremost, there is a perception -- presumption of innocence. i do not want to say that dr. ford was even untruthful. it is just that there was not evidence enough for me to consider not voting for judge kavanaugh. doug: mr. heinrich, you have 30 seconds as well. sen. heinrich: all i called for was to get to the bottom of it, to have a real fbi investigation, and unfortunately, what we had instead was a bit of a show for about five days. my opponent, mr. rich, made a comment that i should go to a high school and tell kids that if they

i think just print reporters and has them sort of extract from him whether he's running for presidentays well something to the effect, i guess i am. >> sure i'm a candidate. i'll be a candidate until the process reaches its conclusion. >> about 7:00 in the evening, gray davis said jerry just announced for president there is no committee. there has been no money raised. we didn't know he was going to announce. well we put a campaign together literally in about 36 hours. and so we put jerry on an airplane and he flew to maryland. and we won the primary. we tried to get into the oregon primary. we couldn't. it was closed out. >> jerry decided to run as a write-in candidate. saying don't write me off, write me in and we came within 29 points of winning. >> jimmy carter finally got just enough delegates to just get past the finish line. almost like a sporting event where you say if the game had just lasted five minutes longer, if there had just been three or four more primaries on the calendar, i think brown could have pulled it off in 1976. >> if jerry brown had made the decision two week

that is why i am running for the senate. i came to new mexico almost 40 years ago for a good paying job. as i traveled the state, i fell in love with the people who called new mexico home, their commitment to family and community. that is why i chose to raise my family here and start my construction company here. years, i have been building the communities in new mexico while providing good paying jobs. as an advocate for vocational training and education, i helped start one of the first vocational education programs in the state, as well as several apprenticeship programs. christian, and i believe in the sanctity of life. today, our state is struggling. we have one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation . our crime is out of control. and we have one of the lowest graduation rates for high school of any state in the union. heinrich, he is focused on more wilderness. he has become a washington politician. he has abandoned new mexico. i am focused on good paying jobs, safe communities, and schools that work for our sta

after that i am going to run for the state house. first opening in congress, that is where i am going." i figure, that's a good idea. so i went to law school, became an assistant prosecutor. when the territorial office became available, i ran for that office. when statehood came along, i got congress. a little ahead of bob. [laughter] rob: you were in the territorial legislature before then? mr. inouye: two terms in the house and part of a term in the senate. rob: then came here as member of the house. who did you come with at the time? that time.mber thaat dole, andned senator the fact that you have been in the hospital with him in michigan. it is amazing that some of these friendships were formed long before any public service. norman a talks about -- the senator from wyoming, al simpson, and meeting him when he was a boy scout together. and you have a relationship with bob dole. us wereye: all three of in the hospital at the same time. and all three of us became senators. rob: that is amazing. you were in the territorial legislatur

so i decided i would run against him for the state assembly and so i did. he didn't think it was very serious because i was still in law school and did not move back home. so he went to alaska on a cruise. so i graduated from law school got me three credits in the first week t of august and second week of september with the primary so i had six weeks i didn't have any money y-letter borrowed $500 i had a 225-dollar car with 225,000 miles and i ran on highway safety. [laughter] so my father gave me ten dollars a day for gas and for food there was not districts then but counties. so starting out at 7:00 in the morning so i would go to all of these small communities and i learned early on i was in the bar at 8:00 in the morning and they say go buy him a beer he will talk to you all day. [laughter] but didn't like luis so he said that will do you a lot of good so i bought him a beer and i heard later he said when the bar was full you should have been here earlier that tommy thompson about the whole bar beer.

i have not requested his attendance. i'm running on my own regard. i think it is a matter of making sure people understand my experience as a problem solver, taking initiative, being involved in my community. i'm involved in visit tucson. many different community boards, a truly care and love this community. i'm going to be an independent voice in this district. my opponentick: brought speaker ryan to tucson. she will follow his agenda. she is not independent. he has his agenda of privatizing social security. she has said she will privatize ofial security, get rid medicare. those are the things that will happen if republican stay in power. they will privatize social security and cut medicare benefits and get rid of a woman's right to choose. those are the issues that are at stake. my opponent is not being truthful and forthright about where she stands. >> thank you. i want to thank both candidates at this point for keeping to the times and the audience for being respectful. we turn our attention to issues related to water. the first question is from r

i mounted the campaign,. >> wasn't running against nixon i was running on the bread and burt issues. i could see the animus towards nixon was going to work in my favor, and yints want to go out and tell people i was running against nixon. people were so upset they didn't want to be reminded. >> people didn't like that he was supported nixon i knew it was going to help me but i was running on the precisely of bread and milk, and great lakes water quality and jobs. so i had this all figured out, i won the primary narrowly, i thought everyone is going to be great, and then nixon resigns i go oh, no. and then ford's president for michigan, i'm going oh, no. he was popular, they were rallying around him. he's a decent honorable man. the things got so bad they got better for the republicans. and then a couple few days later he names rockefeller as his running meat, a moderate republican. i still think i'm going to win but i don't know about that. so then a couple weeks later i'm driving along campaigning and the radio comes on and says and the late breaking news. president gerald ford has p

i did run for congress to reduce the deficit. voted to be balanced every symbol -- single term i had been in. i had voted against disaster relief. i voted to reform mandatory spending programs. i voted for that bill that my opponent criticizes it was a single biggest entitlement reform in history that would've seriously addressed the long-term drivers of the national debt which is mandatory autopilot spending. we will never balance the federal budget if we don't have robust academic growth. we are growing at less than 2%. we are growing twice as fast now and we will be able to balance a budget much better. what is driving is not tax cuts. it is increasing interest rates which is increasing debt service costs. from laster to this year under republicans role shall we say. the deficit has increased 17%. 17% because of your tax cuts for the wealthiest and corporations. here is the other thing. you won't give disaster relief for people that are affected by wildfires but you had $15 billion to get give back to your corporate donors. th
