conservatives won't get to the political promised land until we get new conservative leaders. now i'd like to introduce brent bosell, president and founder of for america and for identification purposes, president of media research center. thank you, richard , my fellow wandering jew. [laughter] some are spinning this as a typical offyear result for the incumbent president's party and a referendum on president trump. but i think they're wrong. these aren't typical times and i believe republicans should have kept their majority in the house. especially running against so many leftists, funded by so many radicals, clearly out of the mainstream. my concern has never been for the republican party. it's been for the conservative principles it champions. i'm going to be perhaps the only conservative in town who thinks this was a good thing for them and our country. the republicans have a serious messaging problem and for one simple reason. their leaders aren't committed to the party platforms. they cannot articulate it, sell it, or enact it because they don't believe it. as opposed

this is where the conservative conservative movement was born. wasn't all extremism, but there was a lot of extremism. there was a very dark underside to it. most of the republican presidents who came into office, whether was reagan or the bush or areas others were much more moderate in practice a lot of grassroot conservatives finally have the president they were looking for all raw all along. >> i want to open it up to questions. i'm sure there's a lot. show me your hand, i will see you and i will come to people in order. [inaudible] what i didn't understand is the extent that you like george wallace infiltrated the party and when i make this criticism, and i often hear from outraged trump supporters who say george wallace was a democrat. well yes, that is true, but you have to understand the history of modern american politics and understand that in the 1960s the two political parties which position on the issue of civil rights whereas of course up until the mid 60s the democratic party had been the party of segregation and the republican part

there isn't a conservative female market, 70% of the conservative audience is male and if we build it they will come too. keep doing what you are doing, keep fighting, keep tweeting, keep writing, good. i do not have the golden answer. a republican pollster does a lot of coverage, wrote about the millennial vote and how millennial women are wary of trump, even post brett kavanaugh and i think it is a concern for the republican party that there is a low hanging fruit they just seem to be avoiding. if you are not going after it why are you hiding from it and it is something that needs to be dealt with for sure. >> question? >> going after that. has trump helped millennial women would you say? >> anybody? >> i could -- >> the lowest unemployment rate in 60 years. >> cingulate to women? >> how about the average mother can deduct an additional $2500 from child tax credit under the gop tax plan. >> there are some answers, will get as many questions as we can. >> charlie answered for me. i would also add >> charlie just kept -- >> through my gender. >> just go for it. >> strides we made mixi

we need to represent conservative women better on all platforms and it's well, there isn't the conservative female market. 75% of the conservative audience is male and i'm very much of the if we build it they will come, too. so keep doing what you're doing, keep fighting and tweeting and writing. good. >> yeah, i do not have the golden answer, my girl friend chris tn anderson is a republican pollster wrote about the millennial people are wary of trump and i think it's a concern for the republican party there's low hanging fruit that they just seem to be avoiding. i mean, if you're not going after it, why are you hiding from it? and i think it's something that needs to be dealt with for sure. >> great point. >> yes, question. >> so, in going off of that, in what ways has trump helped millennial women, would you say? >> anybody? >> helped millennial women? have you got an hour? >> as a mother-- i mean, give me a couple. >> i haven't seen someone. >> not one? >> how about the lowest woman unemployment rate in 60 years? [applause] >> how about the lowest-- >> singular. >> the average mother can

he was more conservative, actually. he was a republican national committee chairman, but he had a very big green streak. he really balanced as much as possible he really balanced the needs of environmental protection and resource use. regardless of whether it was a democrat or republican administration, really in the 1960's and 1970's continuing really into 1981 regardless of political party environmentalism was largely bipartisan and especially so within the u.s. department of the interior, morton and udall were actually really good friends. udall went to morton's swearing-in ceremony. you can argue that morton upheld and expanded on all of udall's successes within the department. a second reason for udall's success in the 1960's was through his means for paying for the success, the land and water conservation fund. if you haven't heard of this, i joke that it is the most important piece of conservation legislation that you've never heard of. this was referred to as a udall pet project, but over the years it's funded o

>> midway through his s first term, has president donald trump successfully hijacked the conservative movement? never-trumper max boot, this week on "firing line." >> "firing line with margaret hoover" is made possible by... corporate funding is provided by... >> max boot is a national-security analyst, historian, and writer who's advised military commanders and republican presidential candidates alike. he was first drawn to public policy and politics by the sunny, optimistic conservatism of ronald reagan. but donald trump's behavior shocked him so much that he abandoned the movement in which he has spent his entire adult life. and now a man without a party, he is a leading and vocal never-trumper. last week, he called on voters to repudiate the republican party up and down the ballot during the 2018 midterm elections. max boot, welcome to "firing line." >> delighted to be here, margaret. >> your opinion editorial in the washington post last week was entitled "vote against all republicans, every single one." why'd you make that argument? >> because i don't see much difference now betw

voted conservative because of her. but she was also a little too pragmatic like the emotion of politics she kind of drained the motion of politics so i'm interested to see if we're going to look back on this era as sort of almost all slow to come except for obviously twenty fifteen and then see now. a little more emotion a little more verb and politics to him and i'm glad that valerie mentioned the point about women because i think it was astonishing to see the tributes that poured in even from political opponents. she was the most gifted politician we had in germany except folk on hot out and all and i mean i'm sure she will be remembered as an astounding woman and for women it really was very liberating to have her as a chance to because he really showed them and know how to do it and it will be very hard for any man to follow how and i don't have a clue is there anyone out there who you would say that's the kind of leadership we need to follow this chancellor is there any public world and know on the german politica

brooks: one of the big challengeses there is no conservative book that says what is conservative and what isn't. and that has been up in the air. how how did you push legislation as far to the right before it breaks is a pretty tricky thing. is it this way to the right. mr. walker: it is a challenge. we are in a place we are more important. you can have the greatest policy in the world but if it doesn't reach the ear of americans, what good is it. we have to make sure that legislation lands in the right place. it has to be dealt on the conduit of trust and relationships. mr. brooks: we will talk about what is conservative and what isn't and how the r.s.c. has tried to run the gap and done so quite well. but in the meantime, tell me what are the biggest challenges you have faced over the last two years. mr. walker: any time like you and your audience when you are making decisions when you make a decision you are making a decision for one group and now deciding against another group. the challenges of leading a group like the r.s.c., we have 159 members. dozen or more from the tuesday

my point is conservatives one last night. all of the pickups in the senate netconservatives, and the increase of house freedom caucus members and conservatives, fellow members was about 10% while the republicans lost the majority. conservatives advanced, a one even in the face of the blue wave. the establishment republican leadership in the house lost. as the president point out, the squishy members who lost their races were the ones that did not embrace the conservative agenda. do next?e i am calling on the republican caucus in the house to elect new leadership, i think jim jordan, who is running for minority leader is likely the right person to lead them back to the majority. there that is conservative limited government agenda. we want to see another round of tax cuts. we think that is a key to continuing the growth in the economy. it will take new leadership in the house to put that on the table. that's what the club for growth will do and we urge the republicans in the house to do that. wall will introduce no one .- >> h

it's a very conservative christian, conservative institution of better essay and at have my students write an essay, three pages on the washington farewell address. i i gave a warning in the farewl address about four alliances i don't want to become to depend on that. we cross along those lines a long time ago. back to maintain strong connections. the president has that in mind, his america first idea is a good concept. i'm not sure he unpacked and articulates it the same way we would but it's not, i don't think we should go full bore internationalism. we have to have a realistic picture, this is a close knit world. we are still the greatest superpower, the greatest nation on the planet. we ought to act like it. when we project strength and build relationships that's good for not only our security and prosperity but everybody around the world. it's a general answer but i could get away deep the weeds. >> your view is more nationalistic sentiment of fortress america is misguided. you like to see a more expansive conservative position like ronald reagan that you and mark and i grew up

who would have never voted conservative voted conservative because of her- but she was also. a little too pragmatic like. the emotion of politics. she kind of drained the motion of politics so. i'm interested to see if we're going to look back on this era as sort of almost. almost little to calm except for obviously. twenty fifteen and then see now. a little more emotion a little more birds and politics. okay to hammond -- it i'm glad that -- valeri mentioned -- the point about women because i think it was astonishing it's that poured in even from political opponents. while she was the most gifted to the politician we had in germany excepto con about adding on it and i am i am sure she will be remembered as an astounding woman. and a for women is it really it was very liberating to have has a chance to because he really showed. women know how to do it. and it will be very hard for any man to follow him. andrew this. is could is there anyone out there who he would say that's the kind of leadership we need to follow this chancellor is there any politician no on the german polit

go back to 2012, conservative spokesman in conservative media love paul ryan. nobody questioned his conservative credentials. between 2012 and 2016, the republican party redefined conservatism around immigration. unless you were a hardliner on immigration, donald trump's policies and rhetoric on mmigration, then you are not a real conservative. that is where paul ryan fell out of step, which will have long-term implications for the republican party. host: that call reminded me of the deal he struck with patty murray. guest: i was thinking about that. that was a compromise to keep the wheels turning in washington. it was a classic washington compromise. between two parties to get to keep the lights on. one interesting thing i was thinking about is i think one thing to understand about paul ryan is his district. the southern wisconsin district used to be a 50-50 district. it became more republican over the time he held it because of redistricting. the party made it more republican and also the cross currents in wisconsin. it was not a typical district, modern-day

corbin would win so no conservative m.p. wants to hand the keys to ten downing street to jeremy corbyn but let me just say this of pater i make no pretense to be an authority on economics because i'm not. but i would say this that what is the worst thing for another for an economy it's not a bad deal it's uncertainty now i speak with a lot of diplomats over here especially chinese diplomats and they have told me this they would rather have a bad deal than uncertainty because if you have a bad deal with the world of business you know where you stand and you can do something about it chinese diplomats have told me that if they no longer see britain as a bridge to the mainland of europe to re-explore their goods about pain tavist then they would have to seriously reconsider whether they have a presence in britain but if this uncertainty if there's no deal that's what i'm joined from up pace if there's no deal that's the worst of all alastair you want to jump in go ahead. yeah yeah i do because i just think it's very important t

go back to 2012, conservative spokesman in conservative media love paul ryan.ody questioned his conservative credentials. between 2012 2016, the republican party redefined conservatism around immigration. unless you were a hardliner on immigration, donald trump's policies and rhetoric on immigration, then you are not a real conservative. that is where paul ryan fell out of step, which will have long-term implications for the republican party. host: that call reminded me of the deal he struck with patty murray. guest: i was thinking about that. that was a compromise to keep the wheels turning in washington. it was a classic washington compromise. get to two parties to keep the lights on. one interesting thing i was thinking about is i think one thing to understand about paul ryan is his district. the southern wisconsin district used to be a 50-50 district. he became more republican over the time he held it because of redistricting. the party made it more republican and also the cross currents in wisconsin. ,t was not a typical district modern-day republican dist

dislike the reason may they still want to have a conservative government rather than letting labor in for a general election so all we can know emergency is how it's going to run basically until the eleventh of december after that is to resume a stay or go do you have to have a second vote on the withdrawal agreement would you decide that it would wish to hold a referendum all of that is open still after the eleventh of december it's very very difficult to predict what would happen ok let's run this one by one bob or a visual correspondent is following developments in london barbara you've been there for some time. in terms of the rebellion within the tory party and people not really getting behind me is that rebellion in terms of writing letters to the internal one nine hundred twenty two committee seeking potentially a vote of no confidence is that still a danger or has that receded a bit into the background. has receded last week in no way of course because that was such an utter failure that you can hardly imagine the hard line breaks cheers under jacob riis mark to sort a lift th

or if someone from the conservative party very small. club was later it would be any more effective than teresa made britain is in unchartered waters and i would also say this pizza that there are that brick city's room with risks and dangers one of them for example concerns and overnight and now i will make this point so it is absolutely imperative that there is a softball between northern ireland and the republic of ireland awful why is if there is a halt that could potentially undermine the good friday agreement and if the good friday agreement is undermined that could result in an eruption of violence in northern islands the likes of which you know we haven't seen for a great many years so i do not like i do not like the european union but this is unbelievably complex ok let me go to you did teressa may get the best deal that she could get because i'm i have to really question that you know she repeatedly said briggs it means bragg's it so is her deal doesn't really mean briggs it because just about everybody has a negative opinion o

is going to be delighted but then the other parts of the conservative party who are act. supportive of the european union or passively supportive not be happy so we will be back at this stalemate but you know i think ultimately what it comes down to is this all i personally do not believe in referendums wilson never believed in referendums. never believed in referendums there was some subjects and i do not mean to sound condescending but there are some subjects they are so difficult to understand that the person cannot well i don't know you and i find what i find economically so i don't you and i disagreed on this one one could make the are going to leave go to alistair on this here is that there are some issues that are so very important that you must have a reference to marcus's idea point upside down here allister go ahead. yeah i mean i mean i think there are some very important issues of constitutional matters that you do decide to have a referendum on and it is not as if this referendum is just an instant decision it's been agitated for among sections of society eve

angle america had taken over fleet his position as parliamentary leader of the conservatives sixteen years ago many say he's never forgiven her he carried on as her second in command for a couple of years then in two thousand and nine he left politics he returned to his day job as an attorney joining an international corporate law firm he's also sat on the board of governors for several companies including the world's largest asset management firm blackrock so far is one of three contenders for the party leadership he's considered the most conservative among them and would represent a clear break with merkel style of politics. although he's been a critic of the chancellor and her government since she took power in two thousand and five he says now they could work together he's been i'm firmly convinced that. under these changes circumstances will manage and get along with each other. merits is a business friendly conservative has close ties to the private sector are controversial and has made him a target for criticism the christian democrats will decide who will succeed chancellor m

some conservative m.p.'s are not happy with the deal their greatest fear of course is germany corbin become in prime minister and i think there would be a backlash among against many conservative m.p.'s if they were to vote against the deal and if that was to end up in a general election which at the moment jeremy corbyn would win so no conservative m.p. wants to hand the keys to ten downing street to me corbin but let me just say this of. i make no pretense to be an authority on economics because i'm not but i would say this that what is the worst thing for another for an economy it's not a bad deal it's uncertainty now i speak with a lot of diplomats over here especially chinese diplomats and they have told me this they would draw for have a bad deal than uncertainty because if you have a bad deal with the world of business you know where you stand and you can do something about it chinese diplomats have told me that if they no longer see britain as a bridge to the mainland of europe to re-explore their go

effort to conserve the species. can the government designate that area as unoccupied, critical habitat? mr. bishop: no, it has to be habitat. now, just to be plain, part of the problem with that is that the government -- when the government talks about reasonable changes, which is what -- is what it does here, what would be involved in -- on this piece of land for it to be inhabited justice kagan: i understand that you think -- mr. bishop: there may -- justice kagan: that it's more than reasonable changes that would be involved here. but i'm -- in my hypothetical, that's why it's a hypothetical, i'm mr. bishop: i understand. justice kagan: i'm stipulating mr. bishop: i understand. justice kagan: that it's pretty minimal stuff. it's, you know, dig -dig a few holes, plant a few trees, that sort of thing. mr. bishop: right. i don't rule out that the government might be able to justify a critical habitat designation when there are de minimis changes, where you're really only talking about digging a few holes, where ther

all conservative mps, it is not a daft question, by the way, all conservative mps have two then vote,, that is 158. she needs to get 158, exactly half the number of conservative mps to be safe, although some say they would perhaps wouldn't they, but if they got 100 voted against her, less than the number which was needed, some say that would damage her. and so if she gets less than 158 voting against her, then she is safe, if it is more than 158, there is then a leadership election for the conservative party, and she is unable to stand, this has happened only once before, with iain duncan smith. sir anthony, we appreciate you taking the time to talk to us tonight. in you. absolute pleasure. the number of people missing after wildfires destroyed the town of paradise in northern california has risen to more than 600. sixty three bodies have been discovered in the area, but the death toll is expected to rise considerably. at least three other people have died in a separate wildfire in southern california. president trump will travel to the state tomorrow to meet people affected. dan john

or earlier we spoke to our correspondent barbara visa when we asked her how conservative munfordville. has presented himself as a decent religious man promoting a debate on identity dominant culture. if you listen to the wording of the speech he held here and what he said early on twitter and what even i'm going to merkel the german chancellor quoted it seems that he is moving onto the playground to be a usually european rightwing populists live because they like to talk about identity and national values and a european the cultural health status something particularly big to argue on the hunt gary an autocrat mentions in every second sentence and he did that again here at the conference so yes indeed it looks very much so as if montrevel wants to tech to the right with the heat that he wants to try to drag the whole european union further to the right further into the conservative mood than he has seen it in the last years and that was our barbara v's old reporting. you're watching t w news live from berlin for all of us here in berlin thanks for the company will be back at the top o

take a listen to the conservative party referendum on which almost all conservative m.p. stood said specifically that we would leave the customs union it did not have any small print saying oh unless we decide to have a backstop that is a permanent customs union that is harder to leave the new leaving your opinion and offical fifty now he's not alone in his opinion and when i hear him and when i hear you speaking it sounds like the maybe the conservative party itself is headed for a split and perhaps teresa mayes days as prime minister are numbered what do you say to those two prospects. well look red i'm not somebody that in any way tries to mask the political reality is that in staring everybody in the face there is today a fundamental split in the conservative party that has actually been a real. challenge facing those of us that want to be a centrist right political movement and there has been a real battle taking place for the heart and soul of the conservative party and what you are seeing today is actually that now being fought out at the very last stages through t

essentially that the conservatives and labor they slug it out and because this is seen as a conservative bret's it labor will not back it in other european countries you might have a more collaborative solution where the parties what the heads together to try to come up with a solution for the short of a shoulder labor can see that they don't have any viable alternative well a mycelium otherwise but they do they really haven't told me they do this they they they say they want what they say is a jobs first breaks it breaks it to put to protect the british economy which they say that mean in real time we don't altogether know to be quite honest but above all you have to think in british politics the party political interest often comes first jeremy corbyn the labor leader essentially wants to get to a general election he will put the price he will put the pressure on to reason may until he gets to that and so he keeps on attacking teresa mayes breaks it even though it's not that different from the breaks that he himself would be willing to support because ultimately he wants such a let's j

regional water supply to conserve a minimum of a%. the bay area was -- during the same. , economic growth was significant, very much in contrast to the s.f. p.u.c. predictions. secondly, the s.f. p.u.c. did not consider any mitigating actions which they might take to drought conditions and as an example, they have continually said that they cannot bite water from the districts because they have not tried to. thank you, very much. >> we urge the board to delay able on th --success in on goiny sentence negotiated supported by governor brown, state board chair and several other state legislatures. the state board's draft plan under consideration could worse reduction in the afternoon-per-person job water and community development in our agency. the voluntary settlement, however, can protect fish and the 1.8 million residents and 40,000 businesses and thousands of community agencies in our area who are depend on the water. we believe in negotiated settlement underway to meet the state board and your objectives and interest. i have a full

the conservative party referendum on which almost all conservative mps stood said specifically that weit did not have any small print saying, u nless we did not have any small print saying, unless we decide to have a backstop thatis unless we decide to have a backstop that is a prominent customs union, that is a prominent customs union, thatis that is a prominent customs union, that is harder to leave by leaving the european union under article 50. it sounds and looks like a coup! a coup is where you use military procedures to overturn someone in office. this is working through the procedures of the conservative party, entirely constitutional, and a coup is the wrong word. what has been achieved today is not brexit and it provides... inaudible question the law to leave has been passed and the withdrawal act is through but what we need is a leader who will say to the european union it is impossible to divide up the united kingdom and impossible to agree to a situation where we have a perpetual customs union. it is impossible to pay £39 billion of taxpayer money for a few promises, which

the conservative side of the spectrum. how do you respond to that? sen. alexander: maybe there's some truth but there's not much chance to worry about it. historically, college campuses everywhere in the world are more liberal in orientation. that is the nature of things. ucla did a survey of professors in the united states, 6-1 liberal to conservative. the more disturbing thing is the brookings institution says half the students today believe it is ok to disrupt a speech that you find offensive. 20% believe it's ok to use violence to disrupt a speech. that's what's different. that needs to be challenged. mr. rosenstein: there was a recent poll that found 58% of republicans believe college has a negative effect on american life. i believe it found the reverse for democrats. what do you attribute that to? sen. alexander: this issue. think about that for a minute. we have almost all the best colleges in the world in the united states. most people agree with that. second, we are at a time when many people, most people believe

i am deeply anxious about the conservative party, and not just because i about the conservative partye was a credible labour party opposition waiting in the wings, i would be more relaxed about it, but personally, i think jeremy corbyn is absolutely unfit to be prime minister. if the tory party cannot contain what could become a civil war, we are almost handing the keys of downing street tojeremy corbyn, and that frightens me very greatly. conservative commentator tim montgomery. let's take a look at a different kind of way stirring things up. surfers from around the world have been taking on huge waves at nazare in portugal. south african surfer grant ‘twiggy‘ baker took the title in the world surf league's big wave tour. he played it safe during the opening rounds and peaked atjust the right time to catch this massive 40—foot wave — riding it to victory. it is an extraordinary sight, isn't it? i don't know the prospects for surfers and whether the waves will be that big, but a man who does know is on the other side of the newsroom — nick miller. good weatherfor surfers? that change

i'm a moderate conservative mp andi that?of that nature. what about you, dominic grieve? no discussions about setting up grieve? no discussions about setting upa grieve? no discussions about setting up a platform for national unity. i think if we get it through successfully, we have to consider a people's vote. let me ask you about the 48 letters, do you have any intelligence of 48 letters have been received by the chairman? only what the people who have put their own letters a nd the people who have put their own letters and have said. i would make the assumption, and a business person for a long time before i was a politician. ifi person for a long time before i was a politician. if i was in this position, i would a politician. if i was in this position, iwould make a politician. if i was in this position, i would make the assumption they had and that that could happen. a tory leadership contest? i would make that assumption because once that is done, it's done, get out the way. get this threat, this hopping from the sideli

but texas is a conservative state.y smart, effective guy, and you got back to basic issues. gun control, right to life, balancing the budget, smaller government. the kind of things left-wing democrats don't do well. mark: one more, i got one minute on this, stacey abrams against kemp, another radical. >> i think stacey abrams loses because she is radical and totally atlanta. no idea about the state outside of atlanta, and i think it's clear whereas brian kemp secretary of state, he'll win by four to six points. mark: michigan, john james, a wonderful candidate, african-american, combat veteran, successful small businessman, gets almost no national attention, cnn, msnbc, all but ignore him, debbie stabenow. >> if he gets enough money in the next week and couple of breaks, he'll win. most recent poll showed the governor's race much closer, the lieutenant governor's race much closer and everything in which he is coming together and getting much, much tighter, that would be one of the biggest upsets but such an attractive

part of the conservative party not going to vote with her so she can has one drug called which is the no deal gregg said which is sort of the cliff edge scenario at the end of march that britain will question without anything and this is the trump card where she hopes that she can reign people and she also is now trying to speak directly to the british public she wants to convince the public who then she hopes will convince the m.p.'s to vote with. but it's still a long road ahead and she doesn't have much time. reporting from london thank you. earlier we spoke to political advisor john worth and started by asking what happens next. it's the first stage is going to be the so-called meaningful vote in parliament this is when to resume a bring so deal in front of the lawmakers and ask ok do back this it's scheduled for eleventh of december so two and a half weeks from now and the chances are she want to manage to get that vote through parliament what happens then is very much open why would the conservative party try to oust her as prime minister because with such a setback could it be
