but what we see in the elections is that the appetite for reform is -- which for a party that has beenn power for most of the years of the federal republic of germany came as a shock. but on the other hand, the total appetite does not seem to be as high as a lot of especially who are concerned about climate change, would like to see happening. there is continuity and at the same time there is change, no radical change or revolution. >> what does the new germany mean for this -- for europe and the rest of the world? >> germany has a chance to reset its leadership role within the european union. during the pandemic, germany is able to be a leader and more proactive in addressing issues that during the euro crisis, when it's role was to wait for the last minute before trying to find some way to the problem. if the new chancellor can continue the forward living momentum and keeping germany at the forefront of looking for ways to stimulate the economy and to contain the pandemic, will be a chance to put germany in a new light on the international stage. >> there are potential areas where al

that will say specifically that they are for the filibuster being eliminated or reformed and it needs to be in the party platform. but chairman, briefly, please, democrats will effectively still be campaigning against donald trump next year. his role in the primary challenge against brian kemp only this week is an example of how much power he still wields nearly a year out of office. but i read in "the new york times" this week about how that influence is now extending into down ticket races as well. as trump supporters, conservative activists, some of which were actually at the capitol in january are now running for the very same voter administration offices they alleged were in on the steal last year. what's your response to that? >> rev, i have asked all of our state party leaders to make sure that their number one priority is to fill every seat that we can, with a democratic candidate. now i know one of the hardest jobs is a state party chair or chair in general is candidate recruitment. it's hard to convince people to open their lives up to all of the chaos and the mess in politics these days. all

think it is an advantage for a reform like this that would not have an obvious partisan appeal, but also a disadvantage, because it does not have an obvious appeal to either party. it is not a way you can say that you are more likely to win if you do this. this reform, the way it is structured take seriously the concerns and incentives members of face. it does not eliminate existing seats. it does not take seats away from states, which means the existing congress would more likely be open to this because members themselves would not think they would lose their own seat under it. they are only expanding. >> and you gain seniority immediately. >> we have to take the incentives they confront seriously. it is always easy to say congress used to be much more collaborative. when i was a staffer in the house, and let me tell you, that was not a golden age in the 1990's, but a lot of people say back then, the chairman and ranking member would go to dinner all the time. that's great, but there are always problems, always problems, and at any moment come with the ways you think about how to change the system have to be geared to the problem. it's not that were trying to

this plan that he's presenting is a plan to re game trust among the political parties, or does it really represent radical reform in economic terms that the latter, unfortunately the answer is no. the reason why most of the japanese l d p a members are, i would say the m p 's had chosen music. she has, as he was sustained a service call. mr. cornell is a much of a radical or say, a person who brings a lot of constructed destruction to the system. the issues claim to do that. oh, mystery kasheila is much more of i say, adjuster to answer question, will he bring in something new? will he bring in something that would basically and change all to the course of the japanese methodology? i don't think so. i think he is much more of a person that is stuck to the status quo. he sent to the stan cisco and he has some thing of a, a fiscal conservative issue, the st. but the, do you think that this does represent something of a change in terms of a bicycle fiscal stimulus package? because that is something that's quite different. does it not? yes, i mean he obviously will come up with these physical packages. in fact, ever

it isn't that we don't have the votes to pass immigration reform, but with the fiibuster threshold and a party party increasingly taken aim at immigrants and refused to do common sense protections that the majority of americans support, comprehensive immigration reform, a path to citizenship for dreamers, tps holders, essential workers, these are not things that are controversial with the american people but the only way to get that done is if we actually reform the filibuster and allow for us to go with a simple majority in the senate. >> i'm glad you bring that up. 2013 there was an opportunity, the gang of eight, four republicans, four democrats in the senate, come forth with a comprehensive immigration reform package that dealt with security in the border, they dealt with the 11 million people who have been in this country, contributing to our economy, and to our culture, and yet that couldn't pass the muster in the house of representatives. i'm just wondering, isn't there something that could or should be done to deal with this issue as a unilateral issue that is for the benefit of the en
