. >> are you also took part in a tribute to margaret thatcher. yours was -- could i call it an anti-tribute. >> i hope i told the truth. i certainly told the truth as i had experienced it, as i had seen my constituents experience it. when i was first elected, she had long been evaluated to the other place. we call the house of lord. everything i had been taught to regard as advice she told me was a virtue. selfness wasn't a vice. ensuring you can't feel self in your family. there was no such thing as society. >> can i just play it actually? i mean you -- of yours, we'll see you. >> okay. fine. >> we were told that everything i had been taught to regard as a vice and i still regard them as vices, under thatcherism was in fact a virtue. greed, selfishness, no care for the weaker. sharp elbows, sharp leads. they were the way forward. >> so a pretty bold and obviously you were true to yourself and true to your politics. how were you received in the chamber and did they know what you were going to say? did you have to sort of warn people what you were

he also made an unfavourable comparison between theresa may and margaret thatcher, saying that the latterivalry to take the heat of the labour party. and today, hosting a show on lbc radio, mr rees—mogg suggested that this is all in part a proxy battle for brexit. a downing street source has said that this is an personal and that they have to look into complaints. borisjohnson has been on holiday. he has been spotted today at florence airport. we know he doesn't plan on apologising, but regardless, this row is now into its sixth day and has served to expose existing tensions in the tory party. jessica parker, thanks very much. now, with news of how england' cricketers are getting on at lords, and the rest of the sport, here'sjohn akers at the bbc sport centre. good afternoon. england are just 18 runs short of india's first innings total at lunch on day three of the second test at lords. patrick geary reports. 0n on its day, this is one of the best walks in london. the sun shining, india all out for 107, a chance for a batsman to get settled, enjoy the morning, make others do the running.

she was called margaret thatcher, lady thatcher, and her secretary of state at the time, kenneth bakert it came from there. was their talk of charging? there was talk of charging even in those days, for sure, and there were all sorts of ideas around that time. the national curriculum came in at that time. all this testing at seven, 11 and 14 came in at that time. but what of the great failings of my generation has been, there is a complete failure of political consensus on education, and on health, for that matter, and every time anybody tries to find it, it is knocked back. so every time you get a change of government, teachers have more bureaucracy and more changes in the way that we treat our students. in the profession finds that very difficult to deal with. if we go to the i, universities offering 1000 bribes to smart students, universities which probably would never be anywhere near the clearing and off the chart, i suppose. now you are getting them in there, because of the money which is involved, and they are handing out rides for the smartest students. and this is a strange on

margaret thatcher said that the problem with socialism is that it is you eventually run out of other people's money. we are told something every year by our actuaries. but there is no way around it. medicare is running out of other peoples money and does other people happen to be our children. the trust fund will be out of money by 2026. the large tax increases. the medicaid program is on track to have a larger share of federal and state government. it already takes up more than one third of many state budgets. they have made a solemn vow to protect these programs. to do that, we need to reform these programs in the way that we know works introducing market-based competition. for a while now there has been a consensus something simply has to change about how these programs work. they had grown more and more complex the traditional model. it has made less and less sense. there has been some progress in the private market unmoving payment from volume to value. everybody agrees is a long way to go. with the fiscal trends we don't have a lot of time to accomplish the changes that we need

a prisoner of the warring factions within her own party, which have been in conflict since margaret thatcher'sletely paralysed her and she has been unable to come to any sort of deal and even checkers is being questioned now. the eu seems to think that jack is, evenif the eu seems to think that jack is, even if it gets through the tory party, is not up to snuff. —— chequers. she is completely hamstrung by that and i think another vote would be a good idea to get more clarity because we are in a completely stuck situation. i'll so think a lot of us didn't really know, i mean i think i did, but a lot of people didn't know what brexit involved. it would involve some problems for some people in some problems for some people in some parts of the country. in fact europe would be so frankly intransigent, as it seems at the moment. hard to know. but that europe would demand all this money if we leave, and all the rest of it if we leave, and all the rest of it if we leave, and all the rest of it if we stay. i think people would like to have a go, and of course young people felt they didn't vote, as the

margaret thatcher was stridently opposed to the unification of germany in 1989. she still feared, she still had the memories of world war ii on her mind, as did many brits. what was so interesting was that in 1989, one of the selling points of george h.w. bush, both to mikael gorbachev and margaret thatcher, was that nato existed precisely to integrate and co-opt german power. the indispensable requirement for the united states in late 1989 and early 1990 in the negotiations with gorbachev over the unification of germany was that germany must, a unified germany must be inside the nato. president bush in 1989 and 1990's all that -- saw that position -- sold that position to gorbachev and the british by saying an integrated germany, co-opted inside the atlantic alliance, inside nato, as well as inside the western european union, a united germany integrated would have its power co-opted and controlled so that germany's neighbors in europe could be reassured that germany, again, would not be the same type of threat as it had been in 2 world wars. the importance of na

margaret thatcher said it best, you run out of other people's money.ot one place it has been effective and able to be sustained. it is a system based on a godless idea that people will just want to sit around and work hard and give it away to someone who didn't work hard and that is not the way the human body and human mind is hardwired. ed: we see nancy pelosi who he believed was far left having troubles with the far left, 50 democrats, incumbents for office who won't supporter of democrats when the majority, so much so she is so discombobulated she was going after nbc over the weekend saying you guys are trying to stir up trouble. >> when you are democrat and lost in bc you have lost the left wing of your party. that is an astonishing thing when she is upset that nbc has taken her on. that shows how far not only most of the democrats have gone but how far in bc has gone and they are on the edge and nancy pelosi is wondering what happened. they left her. ed: i noticed -- what you see, your daughter's birthday. what did you tell her? at >> i wished her

brennan surface politics, to win power, at the same time no plan to pay for it, to loosely quote margaret thatcherrun out of other people's money but the costs are staggering. if you look at national medicare for all, 32, $6 trillion over ten years. look at california alone universal healthcare in california would be $400 billion annually, twice the annual budget of california. in new york, they would have to raise taxes 156%. the mistake is people are equating insurance with care. that does not make sense. universal healthcare, if you look at canada between 1993-2013 the wait time double to see a specialist to 18 weeks while the cost went up 40% and socialists want to go and say we want medicaid and medicare for all which are insolvent, corrupt systems. if you get medicare, supposed to be insolvent by 2026 and if you look at medicaid and medicare in 2017 alone, $141 billion in improper payments and this is their solution to healthcare situation. >> some of those numbers are tough to understand and swallow for a lot of people because when you look at those numbers, it would cost an estimated 70% i

liberal professors that have never lived in the real world, everything should be free, and like margaret thatchereat until you run out of other people's money. it has never worked. all it does is the socialists say everyone will be equal and you'll be equally miserable and equally poor. mark: they always talk about the top 1%, there's always a top 1%. i don't care if you go to the poorest nation on the face of the earth. someone has an extra ball of rice, the top 1%. >> yeah, and they talk about how trickle-down economics is so evil and terrible. i think the whole word trickle-down economics is not a great phrase for it, but like i was explaining to my 17-year-old daughter. a wealthy guy goes out and buys a jet and everyone at the jet factory works and then everyone at the local airport that maintains that jet works. he's got to hire a pilot, and all these people are working. if you take the rich guy's money away, have you dozens of people not working. so their entire argument is completely false. mark: you think part of the problem is that we live in the greatest, most successful economy mankind

margaret thatcher. and i knew i had to do well because i could not afford not to. and i just kept plugging and working hard. it is not a play pen. a campaign is tough work. i admire anybody who goes into it. right now, we have a candidate on the republican side for the united states senate, open seat. i am in touch with her almost every other day. the things i hear, etc. we got to help our candidates who are running. not just putting a woman in because she is a woman. but a capable woman. that is what i keep stressing. when i got in, when i was elected my two chiefs of staff, , one ahead of the other, were both women. my legislative person was a man, an old friend from way back, i had several women on my staff, women running my district offices, two women, etc. and we worked together as a team. >> do think your earlier career as a reporter and as you talked about the chairman of the commission, because you were one of the few women, do you think that helped prepare you? helen: it absolutely did. absolutely it did. because when i went to the fmc, i really had never

he has the role here that margaret thatcher had in the 1980s in great britain.is the personification of taking apart what the left is trying to do and it drives them crazy. that is why you get these reactions that are automatic, intense, and hostile. >> neil: doesn't he create -- especially when he goes on the warpath on google? it might justified because of their bias against conservative, the same about twitter. it gets -- it appears you off course at times when he wants an agreement with mexico, points to real progress and get distracted on other stuff that just seems silly. >> yeah, it looked. i there are interesting parallels between trump, as a very disruptive personality, andrew jackson, the american president, and winston churchill. all three of them had these personality traits that, just at a point where they were totally right, and you can almost imagine people coalescing around them, they would do something, and you would be jarred so badly, you would be wondering about what was that all about? i think that is unfortunate for the president that i wan

now the director of the margaret thatcher center for freedom at the heritage foundation, wait to seet to it. what to make of this latest report on china's military focus? >> well, i would say this really is a wake-up call, actually. this is a very detailed assessment of the overall military threat that china poses and without a doubt, china is emerging as a major threat to the united states and its allies. they are ramping up the military, basically practicing for long-range military strikes in the pacific we are dealing here with a rising superpower. it has ambitions to match the united states. in terms of overall military capability by the middle of the century. it is already investing hundred $90 billion a year in defense spending. that will increase the next decade or so to about 250 billion. but the ultimate goal of course, for china is to be able to challenge the united states as a global superpower. and this report i think, is crystal clear its assessment of the scale of threat, the long-term threat and immediate threat that the a state and its allies face from china today. mi

it reminds me of something very famous, probably the most famous thing that margaret thatcher said and a lot of people misinterpreted. sheep perhaps could have not allowed herself to be taken out of context but she was asked back when she was prime minister, is a crime the fault of society and she just responded instinctively with a very famous phrase, there's no such thing as society, there's just individual men and women and their families and they are the ones who should take responsibility. she meant that society, the building blocks are individual. >> i would love to go on all day about that but i'm afraid we had to take a break. coming up we will hear about doctor peterson's view on parenting and you don't want to stop. don't go away. insurance that won't replace the full value of your new car? you'd be better off throwing your money right into the harbor. i'm gonna regret that. with liberty mutual new car replacement we'll replace the full value of your car. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty ♪ do you need the most in your wireless mouse? maybe not. no... maybe you could trust

>> well, as margaret thatcher used to say, the facts of life are conservative, and i think that's really part of who i am. i grew up in a conservative household, my parents were small business owners so it just was kind of part of who we were. they never sat us down and said this is the left believes, this is what the right believes, republicans, democrats, more of a conversation piece and wrote a letter to bill clinton when i was six years old about taxes and unfair he was taking our money and we didn't get to spend his money. he wrote back with a junior argument about paying fair shares, that's when it really started. i'm the daughter of american revolution, my grandpa fought in world war ii, lots of family members in the military, and it was part of growing up for me. i didn't realize until high school that the man wearing a cowboy hat on the poster in our garage was actually ronald reagan, so my parents just, it was how we were, i grew up on five acres of land in flagstaff, arizona and lived a conservative lifestyle. personal responsibility, being self-sufficient, being responsible f

he really reminded me of a story that margaret thatcher, when she was premised in the uk she was cutting unleashing enterprise as a result of it. it's the same old criticism gets a which is, it is unfair, it helps the rich and so on. she used to tell stories of rich people come up to her and say, it's really unfair what you are doing.i'm very wealthy, i'm very happy to pay more taxes. she would say, that's great! you know the address of the treasury. send them a check, they will gladly receive it. she literally used to say that to people. i think the reason why you've got this lack of faith in the capitalist system, frankly, this is something sobering for those of us that when you look at the performance of what goes for capitalism these days, you look at what's happened over the last few decades, really, it certainly worked brilliantly as you said for people around the world. globalization and free markets have lifted people out of poverty like nothing else has in history. for people here, the truth is -- look at the data half of all american households the income went down in the years

here is nile gardiner, margaret thatcher for freedom, heritage foundation director.to see you, nile. anyone doing business with iran will not do business with the united states. great britain, the rest of europe do a lot of business with the united states, not so much with iran. are they willing to risk cutting off the united states in order for that piddling business they do with iran? >> firstly the trump administration is sending the right message. these sanctions will be devastating for the iranian regime. it will significantly weaken iran's ability to support terrorism, to support a number of wars across the middle east. david: in effect to stay in power because the people are against them right now. >> significantly weaken i think the iranian regime. also i think reality is, many in europe understand this, that at the end of the day, within a few months, practically every single european company will withdrawn from the iranian oil field. we're already seeing that today. we've seen 100 european companies indicate they are suspending operations in iran. some of t

that'd be great if we didn't have to pay for any of that front someone, as margaret thatcher said, at some point, you run out of other people's money. that is what happened in venezuela, that is what happened throughout history, and when society breaks down, that is int the militias come out, and then you see slaughtering in the streets or starvation, which is what you are seeing in eswhvenezuela. what can people do to educate young people about the perils? i know you are an old liberal. liberals aren't socialists. it's a very different approach to governing. >> we have to remember that franklin delano roosevelt saved capitalism by introducing a lot of the elements of socialism. obviously, not to state control over industries, but i went to brooklyn college, it was free. i could have never afforded to go to college unless it was free. i think a lot of americans would like to see reallocation of resources. look, i am a relatively wealthy person and i pay a lot of taxes. i am happy to pay more taxes -- >> laura: write a check! who is stopping you from writing a check? >> i do! >> laura:

margaret thatcher said it best in the often quoted statement.ocialism doesn't work is it sooner or later you run out of other people's money." that is why it doesn't work. it never worked. there's not one place on earth where it has been effective. it has been able to be sustained. it can't be. it's a false system based on basically a godless idea that people will just want to sit around and work hard and give it all away to somebody who didn't work hard and that is not the way the human body, the human mind is hardwired. >> ed: we see nancy pelosi, someone who i'm sure you believed in recent years was far left, is now having troubles with the far left. you've got over 50 democrats, either incumbents are candidates for office, saying they want to support her if the democrats win back the majority, so much and so, she's so discombobulated, she was going after nbc over the weekend and saying, you guys are trying to stir up trouble. >> you know, when you are a democrat and you've lost nbc, you have completely lost the left wing of your party. that
