but the conservatives won a war. the first instance is the reagan failed campaign for the 1976 nomination. he was running against president ford who had never been elected to anything larger than a congressional district in grand rapids while reagan had won twice in california. so, he entered it with great optimism but his campaign didn't go anywhere in the beginning and by mid march of 1976 reagan's kpeupb for president -- campaign for president was on the rocks. he lost five straight primaries. his campaign manager was secretly negotiating with the ford campaign about dropping out. nancy reagan was trying to persuade her husband to give up. this campaign was broke. the north carolina primary was coming backup his plane was held up on the tarmac in los angeles while the airline made sure there was enough cash to pay for the charter. once he got to north carolina there was a new focus to the campaign. he gave a half hour television speech a tactic his aeurtdz had earlier -- aides rejected. it was taped during the flo

again, as a conservative, i would love to have super majorities of conservatives out there. sentiment --sy sentient beings who follows politics, i want more liberal republicans because the liberal republicans still those for your majority leader, your speaker, helps you get some legislation passed, a hell of a lot more than a conservative democrat. [applause] jonah: you want to grow the party. you do that,hen you can bring these people along. what happened was, it got to the point where no one knew how to persuade anybody. it was all the same frigging bullet points. i could hit f10 on my computer and give you the responses to 90% of the republican debate questions. and then along comes donald trump like frigging godzilla. and i mean that seriously, figuratively, but seriously. what are we supposed to do with all caps, take him figuratively but not seriously? that is how i mean it. if you are a student of the , you might know that a huge number of early godzilla movies, it was a clichÉ. every single time, the hapless japanese army thought, i know what to do, i will laura godz

but the conservatives want a war. wasfirst instance of course as i mentioned, the reagan failed campaign for the 76 nomination. he was running against president ford, who had never been elected to anything larger than a congressional district near grand rapids, while reagan had won twice in california and so he went into it with great optimism but his campaign didn't go anywhere in the beginning and by mid march of 1976 reagan's campaign for president was on the rocks. he had lost five straight primaries, his campaign manager john sears was secretly negotiating with the ford campaign about dropping out, nancy reagan was trying to persuade her husband to give up. his campaign was broke. the north carolina primary was coming up and reagan's plane and was held up on the tarmac in los angeles while the airline be enoughing sure there was cash in the till to pay for the charter. and once he got the north carolina there was a new focus to his campaign. he gave a half-hour television speech, a tactic his aides had earlier re

a conservative prime minister...in, "you've never had it so good". now, tory mps tell each other, "we've never had it so good". can the prime minister tell us what's happened in the last seven years to the average person's bank account? ordinary people, he's talking about the situation they face. this is his fourth question. he has not yet mentioned the employment figures today. that show unemployment at lowest levels since the mid—19705, and employment, people in work, people taking home a wage, a salary to support their families, at record levels, the highest level since records began. jeremy corbyn. the only problem is, more people in work are in poverty than ever before, and more are in insecure work. more relying on tax credits and housing benefit to make ends meet. consumer debt rising by 10%, as wages are falling. household savings lower than at any time for the past 50 years. that is the conservative legacy. the honourable gentleman promised workers he would protect their rights, and on monday he let them dow

him by young conservatives -- for and by young conservatives. democrats can call (202) 748-8000. republicans (202) 748-8001. independents (202) 748-8002. we also have a line for college students, we want to hear from you, (202) 748-8003. just getting back to this idea of free speech. when i was going to school, i was taught college is a place you are supposed to figure out things and be challenged by your views. we have seen an increase of so-called safe spaces, things that when it comes to peop le with sharp political views, a way to protect people from those views. guest: i think it does people a disservice. in college, i was one of the rare libertarian voices. something that allowed me to grow was to have discussions with people that disagreed with me, including professors and students. that made me read more. that made me respect other's views. when you hear from the other side, you end up respecting their views. people do not listen to each other and are not trying to understand each other. people simply want to label the other side is one

conservatives respect the traditions and political office, especially at the highest level. -- conservatives do not embrace a welcome leaders. in theirwe see leaders approach. there's a false notion that conservatives are against change. occurs believe change organically. concerns isggest that he is so sporadic, it is like if you invest in the company come you don't want to invest in a company that has a ceo that makes random decisions because that will impact the company. it makes it difficult to govern. -- i think looking at the president -- the person who the president endorses is not going to win. he got a lot of support coming from alabama. yet, the president has endorsed someone who will likely not when that race. >> if that happens, you envision inivided republican party november? i think there are serious concerns that have been raised. even as a candidate, that would make that the more realistic possibility and that is concerning me because as a republican, i want to make sure we maintain the numbers we have in the u.s. senate because there are policy issues that i think .e need to

but keeping the lid on conservative splits over europe won‘t be easy.h his personal views on brexit. in an interview with the sun, he lays out four red lines. he says the transition period after march 2019 should not be a second longer than two years. the uk should not accept any new rulings from brussels during that time. no payments should be made for access to the single market, and there should be no shadowing of the eu after brexit, mimicking eu rules to ensure free trade. let us be creative, as well as practical... last week in florence, theresa may tried to move eu negotiations forward, with a speech suggesting compromises in some areas. mrjohnson doesn‘t contradict her, but does go further than agreed government policy. what i want from the brexit talks, and what boris johnson wants from the brexit talks, indeed all of us around the cabinet table want, is the best possible deal for britain, that secures our future outside the european union, and keeps a close relationship with our current european partners. to be honest, to the point where... ju

was conservative. here we are at freedom fest, breitbart tended toward the libertarian side in many ways and trump has some liberal tendencies when it comes to social issues but some of his policies are not libertarian, people talk about that. andrew understood that trump knew how the media worked and could overcome the media and he said in 2012 because of the way trump beats the media trump is going to be your candidate one day if you don't watch out. he was saying he's not a conservative away these other people are conservative but he will be the candidate you get because he knows how to fight. andrew's early feelings about that were fulfilled. the reason many republicans voted for trump even though they didn't like him is he's a fighter and he fights back against people republicans feel i their opponents, less democrats and liberals and more media. andrew believed and i believe given a level playing field, the media allows both sides equal time and equal respect and equal coverage, conservatives wil

says the conservatives work is cut out for them. then after this year we have to remember the whole political spectrum for and from the center to the democratic right wing. that could mean the chancellor and her conservatives drifting further right to steal the populist fire the two parties are mulling over their options for the next coalition governments make up for merkel there's only one possibility governing with the business friendly free democrats and the environmentally oriented green party the greens say such a coalition would come at a price pushing through the greens agenda. we face enormous challenges the greens are prepared to make them head on but it's clear they can't be any sleepwalking here if the coalition works out fine but if it doesn't forget and. the free democrats say it's imperative that the two conservative sister parties find common ground. it's always the same with the c.s.u. you never know if they'll have the same position tomorrow i think they could use a session in couples counseling with medicals party

could the next few days bring unity to the conservative party?bably not, if the issue of brexit dominates the agenda. as they reflect on a disappointing election result, the prime minister wants to talk about domestic issues but her foreign secretary has other ideas. in an interview with the sun, borisjohnson lays out four red lines for brexit. he says the transition period after march 2019 should not be a second longer than two years. the uk should not accept any new rulings from brussels during that time. no payments should be made for access to the single market. and there should be no shadowing of the eu after brexit, mimicking eu rules to ensure free trade. let us be creative as well as practical... last week in florence, theresa may tried to move eu negotiations forward with a speech suggesting compromises in some areas. mrjohnson doesn't contradict her, but does go further than agreed government policy. what i want from the brexit talks and what borisjohnson wants from the brexit talks and indeed all of us around the cabinet table want, is

. >> host: today, corporations people argument is a liberal conservative f is a liberal conservative fight; correct? >> guest: interesting, polls show issues of corporate rights transcend the usual partisan lines. you have strong majority both liberal and conservative in america believing that the supreme court has given corporations too many rights and to expansive protection under for instance the first amendment giving them the right to participate in influencing electoral politics in the case like citizens united for the right of religious freedom in the case like lobby. polls show 75 to make 80% of americans thinks citizens united is wrong and that cuts a pot-- across the person divide. >> host: your new book includes daniel webster c-2 if we think about the great civil rights movement, women's rights movement. they had ruth gator gives birth pursuing women's right. civil rights movement had found good marshall, one of the great lawyers of all time advancing the causes of african-americans. corporations also had great lawyers leading the charge for the corporate rights movement

joy and despair for germany's conservatives they lost significant ground this time around but chancellor angle americal will still serve a fourth term she says she'd wished for a better result which is now set to form a new government. isn't starts the cuff we the c.d.u. in the c.s.u. have emerged as the strongest party we have the mandate to form a government and no one will form one against us. the social democrats are in shock after their worst ever result the so-called schultz effect a bump in the polls when party leader martin schulz declared his candidacy went nowhere he's now ruling out joining the new government but says he won't step down as party chair. i've advised the s.p.d. leadership that we go into the opposition soon we're all united in our decision. to take this step. i mean he's i'm sure that. with the s.p.d. out one of michael's possible coalition partners is the pro-business free democratic party and they came back strong after a humiliating defeat four years ago the reform than the reform the dear friends. the last election period was the first in the history of our

so miracles conservatives also from the s.p.d. from the left the greens and a very small from the pro-business f d p once talk a little bit more about the f.t. that swing in support to the f.t. has been a huge triumph for the party their lead candidate alice vital had this to say about her party's performance. yeah mine veil of talk because the voters have given us. a mandate. we tend to take it on. the military millions of voters have voted for us they have given us their children saw fight for constructive opposition. and we will deliver on. and we also have charlotte pots and fanny for shar out in about for us both of them covering the a.f. days show up parties at the party headquarters funny on the streets near alexanderplatz where hundreds of demonstrators and police are gathering charlotte let's start with you they are day entering parliament for national parliament for the very first time what's the feeling there. will be a of d.c.s. itself as a clear winner of this election on the one hand because even the most optimistic

to go back to these conservative well use and that they also hope that their vote for the f.d.a. would show some protest for what has happened in the last couple of years particularly in terms of the refugee policy but also with this shift that they experience towards rather left turn it if policy as they put it they want a conservative course from the a if d. and they also want pressure on the other parties to get a more conservative germany idea of use five hundred mark reporting up from an f.t. stronghold there right outside of dresden thank you. you're watching news the still to come on the program insolvent carrier air berlin announces negotiations with time sunday with the goal of selling off its parts of business meanwhile employees are hoping they don't get left behind. and iraqi kurds turn out in the millions for a referendum over in support for independence from baghdad we'll tell you why there's so much international opposition to that vote. coming back up to the german elections now what effect are they having on the financial world telling us or textbook economics of

this is the news of live from berlin a new freedom for women in saudi arabia the ultra conservative kingdom is finally to allow women to drive activists have been fighting for decades to get this law overturned also coming up. thailand's former prime minister yingluck shinawatra has been sentenced to five years in prison she's fled into exile. and how the push to defeat the hottest is taking a heavy toll on the people of somalia will have an exclusive report. plus a long and winding road towards forming a new government germany's general election last weekend means chancellor merkel has been swayed to other parties to join her conservatives now that could take months. i'm brian thomas welcome to the show saudi arabia says it will begin allowing women to drive now it is a big leap for the old truck conservative nation the only one to bar women from getting behind the wheel a royal decree announced on state t.v. says the ban would be lifted in june now in the meantime a committee will be formed to work out how to implement that royal decree. the streets of saudi arabia have long been a battle

got thirteen for some of the vote and a lot of those votes seem to have come from former conservative party voters so people who in the past have said i support miracles conservatives have changed and started voting for the far right a.f.d. more than a million of those votes for the a.f.d. came from four more conservative voters roughly half a million came from the center left party the s.p.d. and slightly less four hundred thirty thousand from the left party much smaller numbers they're coming from the greens the f.d.p. but it's important to remember that over a million of the votes were taken from the conservatives it was a lot of credence to this theory that the i have d. votes were perhaps a protest vote against miracles migration policy we can also take a look at which germans voted and for whom we've got a heat map here to show you where the a.f. to support is coming from geographically now look over here here in the east of the country we've got a lot more blue and that means a lot of the f.t.'s support is coming from eastern germany the support is still relatively weak here in

some conservatives don't go along with boris johnson's assertion conservatives don't go along with borisjohnson's, took command. can you name the one country in the world that has said it will give us a better deal if we come out of the uk? today, she told the times that optimism about britain's future outside the european union sales people short. so what do conservatives arriving make of his intervention? he is positioning himself as a spokesperson for brexit and make sure it goes through.|j spokesperson for brexit and make sure it goes through. i don't think him going down his own line is necessarily the right way forward. him going down his own line is necessarily the right way forwardlj like necessarily the right way forward.” like people who are charismatic and who can speak their minds. so boris is certainly one of those people. what is your message to boris johnson? sure she! get behind the premise to. teresa mikula struggling to contain a party's differences over europe. some think she should be just as concerned about who is trying to move in on herjob. vicki joins us from manchester, w

>> guest: they currently have a very conservative court in one sense and we talk about a conservative majority on the supreme court. one of the things i found in my book although we talk about justices as being liberal or conservative or appointed by democrat or republican will we find women look at history is something that unites the justices most of the justices throughout history as they are generally business and whether they are liberal or conservative acanthus side between a just and capital. a phenomenon i study my book is the self conscious claiming of constitutional protections and the supreme court giving them constitutional protection to corporations. this was one manifestation of that larger phenomenon. >> host: "we the corporations" how american businesses won their civil rights. in your view what is the impact? >> guest: the corporate rights movement is one of the great unknown yet hugely successful sofa rights movement in american history where racial minorities and women and lgbt people have fought to gain constitutional protections and gain equal rights were once den

so, what do conservatives arriving in manchester make—up boris johnson's conservatives arriving in manchesterjohnson‘s latest intervention? he is positioning himself as a spokesperson for brexit. we're not sure that boris going down this line is the right way forward. are like people who are charismatic and can speak their minds. boris is one of those people. what is your message to boris johnson? be quiet, get behind the prime minister. theresa may struggling to contain party differences over europe when something she should be just as concerned about who is trying to move in over herjob. that was young reporting. the political editor of the son who did the interview with borisjohnson has been on the pm programme and characterised his interview as boris johnson digging in to his position after the big article he wrote in the daily telegraph a couple of weeks ago. you saw the request from an activist for boris johnson weeks ago. you saw the request from an activist for borisjohnson to go shh. does not looks like he will. he was a standard bearer for brexit and did front the leave campaign. is

whether that will make them decide to join the conservative party or vote conservative, who knows.ve, who knows. but it is part of a big package which includes housing and wrench reviews and stuff like that. the labour party was scoffed at for suggesting that it is it would cost so much money, and they didn't have to fund it, they are not in government. the whole package comes to £11 billion. a huge amount of money, notjust package comes to £11 billion. a huge amount of money, not just tuition fees, this is for extending the right to buy for first—time buyers. it smacks of panic. i agree withjo totally, it is slamming the stable door. if she had come up with this during the election she might have had a better manifesto then she actually did. and retained more seats. indeed. the other question, obviously, is whether or not they can find the money for it. one would assume that, unlike the police, where they seem to want the police bonuses to be funded by fewer police officers, they have to get the money for this. in terms of political strategy it is bonkers. in the same way that she

henry olsen: conservatives often wrestled with that. they were so in love with the issue usually saw that the compromise actually give them half a loaf as opposed to subsequent compromises that claimed to give them something but actually didn't. hard-line conservatives sometimes opposed his compromises. for the social security tax and benefit compromise, newt gingrich and rand paul and jack kemp either opposed or abstained, but they went with it because when ronald reagan said there was half a loaf for conservatives, there really was. it wasn't just bipartisanship where the republicans provided the votes for democratic initiatives. >> what was his role? another key player was the chairman of the ways and means committee, dan rostenkowski, a democrat from chicago, the speaker of the house tip o'neil. was ronald reagan part of the negotiations? was he immersed in the details, or did he take the 30,000-foot-level approach? henry olsen: he was involved with negotiations with the chair people. there were times when dan rostenkowski came in a

that is the american conservation ethic. the revenue that energy generates from lease sales, one sugar member it funds things and waterand conservation fund, hunting and fishing licenses, and the purchase of ammunition. it cost about $2.2 billion last year in conservation. if you go back to 2008, interior but was the number two revenue generator in the government behind our friends at the irs. in revenue we produced about $18 billion a year just in offshore oil and gas. it was a banner year. last year we produced $2.6 billion a year. that is a drop of $15 billion a year of revenue. when i look at our national parks, we are $11.5 billion behind in maintenance and repair. our wildlife systems about $3 billion behind in needed maintenance and repair. on scale, a loss of $15 billion in revenue would have made up an entire backlog of maintenance and given us a significant opportunity to reinvest and recapitalize in a lot of areas we need in one year. that is the scale of what occurred. that is the consequence of putting 94% of ou

again how does protectionism and conservatism merge i mean why are they even called conservatives i don't think they call themselves conservatives they call themselves nationalists he said in the sixty minutes interview. i don't think he's ever used that word to describe him so this raises a really important question you've got even the billionaire mercer family supporting steve benen in fact they were rebecca bursar i believe was the person who introduced him to trump and got that whole thing going or recommended it at least from what i've read in the press and and you know they they own cambridge. analytical which did all the data crunching and fed all the information to facebook or from facebook to push the trump memes and things in ways that were parallel quite successful and then you've got the koch brothers and their organizations americans for prosperity and in particular but these are those are two very very don't know they have let me let me finish this thought then you've got to coax the billion or coax with americans for prosperity that actually has more employees more of

women it's exactly what they do to conservative blacks and conservative hispanics and conservative gays when sarah pailin was picked by john mccain i believe it was the president now came out and said he might as well have picked a white male because in the left wing more old if you are not you know if you don't fit the stereotype then there's something wrong with you when you're as bad as a white male and we know there's nothing worse than a white male in the minds of the i'm glad i'm so i can finally admit now that. i have in the minds of the yeah i think the left has a problem just understanding the difference in general and it's something i understand about the left wing sort of in the middle left person myself that. they don't really know how to hold women to support each other when if it even comes close to hurting their like establishment now look i look at the show the obama today i hate to interrupt look at you know the comment today joining the bandwagon of her and hillary clinton both saying that you know women women made a big mistake you know they were talked into voting fo

conservative mps remain silent.as said the cap on public sector pay rises in england and wales is to be lifted. with ministers having flexibility. but that didn't go far enough at the shadow health secretary. hospitals are in deficit. waiting lists in their millions. hospital bosses warning there are not enough beds this winter. last winter, overcrowding, act the lindsey is backed up, social care tipping point. some characterised it as a humanitarian crisis. it is not good enough to expect hospitals to fund a pay increase for staff from existing budgets. it has been necessary to bring government spending... none of us would want for anyone to be paid any less, but it has been difficult and necessary in order to control the overspending by government and put right the financial mess the country was left them after the last time his party was in government. tracy came to parliament last week and spoke of having suffered a 14% cut in pay. two thirds of her fellow nurses taking second jobs and a haemorrhage of nurses fr

but is there more behind the wheel here could this be a sign of wider reform in this notoriously conservative king. i'm bringing off it's good to have you with us tonight iraq is faced with the question of how to keep the country together it comes after kurds in the north of the country voted overwhelmingly in favor of independence kurdish authorities say over ninety two percent of kurds backed independence in a referendum held on monday but iraq's central government in baghdad refuses to respect the result and has threatened sanctions against the kurds all that could put them on a collision course with a newly confident nation in waiting. there were euphoric scenes among iraq's kurds after the official result was announced kurdish authorities say that with a seventy three percent voter turnout the poll had been a resoundingly success. at this historic moment i want to congratulate you on the success of the referendum on the independence of kurdistan in our autonomous region and the areas outside the autonomous region which kurdistan claims. in baghdad the reaction couldn't be more different

so, heed the cries of conservatives. here is what the cry from president trump is, and i'm quoting a tweet. facebook was always anti-trump. the networks were always anti-trump, hence fake news, new york times apologized and washington post were anti-trump. collusion? question mark. what say you? >> oh, my goodness, i don't know where to begin here. he's such a whiner. i need a breath here. he's such a whiner. he had passes and showed all the rallies during the campaign. and he's president of the united states. come on, be president. david: but, rich, it's a fact that former facebook workers were routinely suppressing conservative news. that came out about a year ago. >> hey, facebook is based in the san francisco bay area, what else would you expect? i think it's wrong for the president to criticize them by name. we conservatives certainly didn't like it when president obama bashed private jets, which was devastating to the economy of wichita, kansas. we need to be consistent here. presidents shut not attack privately ru

i do not like that conservative conservatives, this is a lie.hat happens every two years and every four years. republicans, conservatives, the president are racist, sexist, misogynistic pit stop lying about who we are. because none of us, we are not racist, nor is the president or the people around him. and i'm not saying for this woman to be fired, i'm saying that the left does this every single election cycle. and i have never said, knock it off.ig >> i will say right now, knock it off. it is not fair for anybody to be characterizing the president that way. he gave a little bit of red meat with the office comment in charlottesville. m which he did in fairness walk back. i will say that someone from the white house podium is calling for a firing of a private employee is ridiculous. could you imagine if they say that he should have been fired after "the apprentice." that is not the place of the white house. >> sean: you understand this, dr. gina louden, you understand this. conservatives say one thing viewed over the line, oh, fire them, boycott

but also focusing on the concerns of some conservative mps.d from dominic greene, the former attorney general, about these extra power is written into these extra power is written into the bill. but the government believes it needs in order to have a timely brexit process. yes. the cupboard has really been tried to offer reassurance that the powers will not be abused. those powers effectively give the ministers he writes to make changes to the eu law brought into the uk, without having to ta ke brought into the uk, without having to take everything through the whole parliamentary process. the fear, as you say, among some conservative mps, as was many labour mps, is that gives too many unchecked powers to the government. we have an david lidington, who was saying that this will be used for minor things only. we are happy to look at ways we can build on some safeguards to offer reassurance that we are not trying to undertake a power grab, here. the question is whether or not they will be enough to persuade mps to back this bill. as you say, the

that has implications for conservative politics, because conservative politics tends to be sort of boosted by people who have children for various reasons. but it also has implications for the future growth of the united states, the future growth of the western world. it has complicated implications that i have written other columns about for the polarization of our politics and how we think about racial and demographic change. it has a lot of unfortunate implications. while i'm supportive of a lot of the sort of -- what you might call the urbanist consensus. this is what i think unites a lot of free market conservatives and sort of center-left policy wonks. you have these big cities that are centers of economic growth, but they do not have enough housing, so nobody can move their. so they are not effectively serving the kind of engine of of working in middle class prosperity function that cities that exist 100 years ago. san francisco can be much more dense. new york much more dense. i agree with all of that. sort of. but, if you make san francisco a lot denser, you're not going to be bui

i suppose a lot of the conservative mps who do have concerns, ken clarke, anna soubry, dominic grieve and so on, they agree with the general principle that we need an orderly transfer of all the regulations from the eu books onto oui’ regulations from the eu books onto our books. but it is the nitty—gritty, the fine detail, that is where you come a cropper miss, is at it's is a —— that is where you come a cropper on this, isn't it? then it is satisfy the concerns that have been expressed by conservative mps over the last couple of days, in areas where they might be able to joina areas where they might be able to join a common cause with labour and other opposition mp. we have had the conservatives in the past few days of debate saying they will back the bill at second reading, and we should have the bill, but they would like to see the government, with amendments. so zac goldsmith, a man who wants to see amendments dealing with that. other mp5 have raised other areas. we had a string of concern as who said that there should be amendments later on. and thatis should be amendments later

howie: bannon has deep ties in the conservative media.e made it clear he's going after paul ryan, and jared kushner and others in the white house. is he a force to be reckoned with? joe: absolutely. this is quintessential steve bannon. he wants to tear down the establishment. howie: he said it himself. joe: it's about his desire to break the whole thing up. that's what that interview sort of conveyed. howie: how do you think charlie rose did. shannon: charlie rose as his certain style of interviewing people. howie: he was a little more aggressive in that exchange on immigration. shannon: he was well prepared and knew where things were going. and he got interesting lines and observations out of him. the catholic church. howie: how successful has bannon been as relaunching himself? the country didn't know who steve bannon was, now he gets two segments on "60 minutes." shannon: i think he's doing a good job relaunching himself and being his own force to rival almost the president with the amnesty don headline and hashtag on twitter. he's a f

this is one week away from the conservative party conference.s the daily mail, the sunday times, the daily mail, the sunday times, the express of the telegraph, these internal divisions, profound divisions and yes i think we all did know that there was some plotting, many people accused last week boris johnson the foreign secretary of being on manoeuvres. i do not think we realised some of the advanced plotting and how close to fruition it was. it seemsjust plotting and how close to fruition it was. it seems just after the general election it was boris johnson, philip hammond, david davis and amber rudd and basically carving out who was going to do what. and amber rudd and basically carving out who was going to do whatm and amber rudd and basically carving out who was going to do what. in the early hours of the morning. it would've been boris johnson early hours of the morning. it would've been borisjohnson minding the shop. that means the topjob. so prime minister. david davis brexit minister, no surprise there, philip hammond as and amber rudd

has to fight chancellor looking for her course for the conservative bloc c.d.u. c.s.u. finding the right course will be a major issue but anglo-american doesn't see flaws in her party's priorities if. you can see what we now need to change. from actually building a coalition will be a tricky task she has to bring together how conservative variances to party c.s.u. with the greens and the liberals all three want their own demands to be met. in my view it's absolutely essential that we set out a clear commitment to stemming the influx of refugees in other words a cap on number. that's what we've promised people. to do cause we and we present a humanitarian refugee policy the business friendly f.t.p. has already described its main goal to avoid the traditional language the direction of politics this needs to be a turning point and if that's impossible then go into a position. it was it's your for the german bundestag difficult times might be ahead. or difficult times lying ahead and to help us understand the political situation i'm joined now by political correspondent sim

that is the american conservation ethic. one should remember it funds things like the water conservation fund. if you go back to 2008, interior was the number two revenue generator and the government behind our friends at the irs. about $18 we produced offshore year just in oil and gas. it was a banner year. last year we produced $2.6 billion a year. that is a drop of $15 billion a year of revenue. when i look at our national billionetween $11.5 behind in maintenance and repair . our wildlife systems about $3 billion behind in needed maintenance and repair. on scale, a loss of $15 billion in revenue would have made up an entire backlog of maintenance and given us a significant opportunity to reinvest and recapitalize in a lot of areas we need in one year. that is the scale of what occurred. that is the consequence of putting 94% of our offshore holdings off-limits, and even making the national petroleum reserve unavailable for development. i think a renewed focus on working together with industry can and should benefit our p

conservative.ension between the republican party, what you call the establishment or not, most republicans in congress did better in the 26th election then donald trump did. when you heard steve bannon talking the way he's talking, if you are appearing on cnbc or fox business instead of 60 minutes, you would say, hey, he's just talking his book. he's talking up a narrative to promote clicks and made part in this utterly ridiculous claim that somehow the republican party should embrace a philosophy they don't actually agree with. the idea they are nullifying the presidential election is ridiculous. the idea that somehow we do not live in a parliamentary democracy where the president's party has to agree with them saying that they disagree with him with. too many people are trying to make it out as if the only true test of being a conservative is whether or not you agree with donald trump. that's ridiculous. >> bret: north korea could launch this missile. the next one within hours. i think there are

the conservative government published proposals on corporate governance, if conservatives give shareholders the power to veto pay policies, and force companies to disclose pay and conservatives with tough transparency measures for the bank. that was done not by a labor government but conservative party. >> you use the word advisory. page 18 of the dumped manifesto says the next -- the next conservative government will legislate to make executive pay packages subject to strict annual vote by shareholders. she has gone back on her word to help people struggling. mister speaker. to help people struggling to make ends meat, many politicians have become convinced we need to energy prices. the prime minister was briefly converted to this policy. the profit margins of the big six energy company to their highest ever. i wonder if the prime minister could stick to her own manifesto pledges on this matter. >> on the question of corporate governance i didn't use the word advisory, i suggest if you listen to the answer and not just read out the statement. he has raised an important issue about energy p

simon: that is the challenge but her conservatives lost a million voters to the afd. they need to find more clear and persuasive responses to the people who voted afd have. she concerned about the immigration policies show that she is taking it seriously. i think inevitably, it means whatever coalition she is able to put together -- it is far from clear at the moment as we have seen, there. she will have to express how she will control immigration numbers in the coming years. while continuing with a humanitarian cause. sarah: it won't be easy to seduce those boaters back into the conservative party while flirting with the coalition partners and the environmentalist groups. it seems like an impossible task, is it realistic? simon: with the free democrats, perhaps it won't be so difficult. they said that they think immigration needs to be tightened up in favor of an immigration law and canadian style point system. it is focusing on people who are really useful immediately to the german economy. rather than just mass immigration that has happened over the last couple of
