when you're a conservative, what does that you're trying to conserve? because, you know, idea of conservative sounds like it should be part of conservation. yeah, yeah. so what is it you're trying to conserve? thank you know. thank you very much. well, i think know i appreciate the question. i do want to clarify that. i did not say that all environmentalist were that way. i said out of the 39% who were self-identified my friend was that the vast majority of them are not like this. and if you this book, you will you will find that that is true. and i think that that's just really important. and the hostility that you have in the question is maybe why republicans struggle to i'm just going to be honest. so that's just number one. what do i want to conserve? i want to conserve the things the same things you want to conserve, assume, which is the the beautiful natural areas of this world that have the given to us that we rely on to survive. i want to protect beaches and the mountains and the forests and the farmland but i also want to protect humanity. and

america needs conservatives.sy to look back on 2020 and her number all the issues we had with covid. culvert is only one piece of a very problematic puzzle. it certainly showed us how deep a divide really is how thin the barrier is between freedom and tyranny. but there is a worse movement happening in 2020. it is an ongoing problem. across america these last several months we watch and organize coordinated campaign to remove and eliminate all references to our nation's founding and many other parts of our history. rather than looking to the past to help improve our future, some are trying to wipe away the lessons of history. lessons we should be teaching to our children into our grandchildren. this approach focuses exclusively on our forefathers and it feels to capitalize on the opportunity to learn from their virtue. they have many of those. by discrediting the individuals who performed founding principles they create doubt and then they can remake america into a very different political image. it is our job to

and the people's power party is the conservative party. we are likely to see some reconfiguration as we head towards the potential election. there has been more than 40 different parties in korea. they frequently reform and rename in part to distance themselves from disgraced leaders like it takes -- like it appears that president yoon is currently because of his rash decision to declare martial law. host: thanks for helping to sort this out for us. stay tuned down the road. we might bring you back as things develop in korea. professor >> today members are working on measures to increase transparency irelations on small businesses a another to name a pt office in plains, georgia,ft former president jimmy carter and his wife. also today members can vote on o measures to release the house ethics committee report into former florida republican reestative matt gaetz who resigned after being nominated by president-elect donald trump battorney general. off the floormeers are continuing work on government funding with a stdn deadline approaching

she is either liberal conservative or conservative beral, i am never quite sure. like her optimism and full throated defense of the democratic process. what i do not appreciate is her seeming inability to take a clear stand on much of anything. did that one hurt? i won't read these other ones. [laughter] peggy: that's so thoughtful, actually. peter: like i said, it's like a conversation these viewers have with you. you are called peg, it's like a conversation. peggy: i'm not sure i ever really thought of it like that. sometimes readers are very familiar with me. sometimes, there was a guy who writes in and says this is it, i will never review again and then he comes in two weeks later and he will never read me again again. sometimes people say they have had enough of me and somebody else will answer them back and say, and yet here you are. which amuses me a lot. i hate the feeling i am disappointing people. and the trump folk who could see my early sympathy for his stance and for the need of someone to break through this establishment , i came not to like him and

all these things have come together when you talk about conservation.— about conservation.st of problems _ about conservation. surprisingly a whole host of problems from - about conservation. surprisingly a| whole host of problems from that. thank you so much. our news correspondent navin singh khadka with that story. plenty more to come, including our headlines coming up very shortly. the do stay with us here on bbc news. hello there. the weather for christmas week has been pretty benign. high pressure has brought light winds, a lot of cloud, some mist and fog and also some drizzle. subtle changes as we head into the weekend. we start to lose the influence of this area of high pressure and begin to pick up more of an atlantic influence, which should mean there should be more breeze and see a bit more sunshine. but we've still got this weather front straddling the north and west of scotland. that'll bring further rain through this evening and overnight. elsewhere, again, there's a lot of cloud around, some mist and fog, some drizzle too. but where skies are clear, then it w

membership.— conservatives in terms of membership.s _ membership. lots of claims and counter claims about _ membership. lots of claims and counter claims about the - counter claims about the technicalities of who has got more members?— technicalities of who has got more members? . ., more members? nigel farage said the had more members? nigel farage said they had hit _ more members? nigel farage said they had hit almost _ more members? nigel farage said they had hit almost 132,000, - they had hit almost 132,000, slightly more than the conservatives had their membership at the last time they held a leadership election but memberships can be quite difficult to compare. there is a fee forjoining parties that can be different and you can have a difference of tiers and types of membership so the other thing is membership does not always correlate to electoral success. not always correlate to electoralsuccess. in not always correlate to electoral success. injeremy corbyn was in charge of the labour party there were talks about membership in

this is what the conservative elite wants. yeah, that's why the result of the election and what it has become unfolded seems to be very advantageous for the elite. i would not say it would be lose-lose for the move forward party. the fact the party won but was denied the right to form a government caused even more anger among thai voters. hopefully this anger could be used wisely during the next election. ok. after that, we knew we had a government in place. he picked this no-name guy, but is somewhat well-known businessman but had no experience in politics. he was prime minister for year and then ordered to step down by the constitutional court because they accused him of promoting someone who was not eligible for the ministerial position. i was quite surprised that the court ordered his resignation. i thought he would be protected by the conservative elites. i don't know what was going on. but at the same time the move forward party was dissolved within a week apart. but we know the reason behind the dissolution of the move

i make no apologies for my conservative values, and i look forward to supporting president trump's conservative judges. i am strongly pro-life. the abortion on demand agenda is immoral. in the senate i look forward to supporting s. 160, senator lindsey graham 20 week abortion ban. and when it comes to protecting innocent life, i look to god because life is -- every life is a blessing. in washington i will work with president trump to continue the incredible economic progress our nation has seen. because of our presidents policies, we are growing our economy and jobs at a record pace. every day new jobs are created for working moms and dads, for young graduates and for that waitress just looking for a chance. i have been called soft-spoken, but i've also been called a lot worse. in congress i may not be the loudest voice in the room, but you don't have to be shrill to be tough. and when it comes to fighting for georgia, i will never back down. no one will fight harder for our state, for our nation, for our president and for our conservative values, because here's the thing. contrary to what you

i am a conservative and i have been a conservative for a very long time and been in media for a veryong time. i do not think those on the left or non-conservatives or liberals hate conservatives so much as very unconsciously they patronize them. they just do. patronize them. if you're going to patronize somebody it should be from a great intellectual or moral height. i would rather not be patronized by people who do not have that height. if you are a conservative, you are familiar with the concept of being patronized by your inferiors. every conservative everywhere has this feeling. and it contributed to donald trump. peter: 7/3/2019, another column in your bookf continuing miracle is the name of the colu. we are a people who has expeend something epic together, we were given this brilliant beautiful thing, this new range of political invention, based on the assumption that we were all equal, that where you start does not dictate where you wind up. i love america because it is where the miracle is. i read that because in this column in the book you talk about three books that i wante

and so the role of the conservative time here is taking a bath ring. i was only just recovering from that and is taken another be to get on the the can the minds of the conservative lawmakers here are led by the people's power policy is of course what this might do in terms of allowing you elections to take place and allowing the liberals to come back into pilot. and just while we've been uh speaking that in the last few minutes or so, we'd be getting a breakdown of the actual final bocce in this historic both several. and just you remember that they the opposition needed 2 thirds majority, 200300 seats. and the national assembly, they got $204.00 seats. voting against the motion to impeach, were 85 of votes, as with a number of both either up staining or being spoiled ballots. but basically from this, we could extrapolate that around 12 low make because of the governing ruling people policy in the end voted for impeach, but of their own presidents run the bride reporting from inside part of the building we're just moments ago. a majority of more than

she's either a liberal conservative or a conservative liberal. i'm never quite sure.her optimism, and her full-throated defense of the democratic process. what i don't appreciate is her seeming inability to take a clear stand on much of anything. >> oh. >> did that one hurt? i won't read these others. if that one hurt. >> no. that's so thoughtful, actually. i thought you were going to read some of the other ones. >> no, no. i mean, like i said, this is, like, a conversation these readers are having with you. you're called peg. you're called peg-a-loo. >> totally. there's no ms. noonan in here or anything, but it's like a conversation. >> i'm not sure i had ever quite thought of it like that. sometimes readers are very familiar with me. sometimes there's a guy who writes in and says, this is it. i will never read you again, and then he comes in two weeks later and he'll never read me again again. sometimes people say they have had enough of me, and somebody else will answer them back and say, and yet here you are. which amuses me a lot. it -- it -- i hate the feeling i

in fact, more americans almost in ten say they are conservative or very conservative on social issues than they did in 2023 and 2021. and the percentage, their social views are very liberal or liberal has actually declined to under 30% from 34% over the same time period. right. gallup states that the increase in a conservative view of social issues over the past two years has among nearly all political and demographic subgroups. and i show just briefly in stumbling toward utopia that this idea that is a natural upward and forever trajectory of progressivism is actually not the case. and i think that we are already seeing, by the way, first, in culture, last in politics. and i actually think that we are seeing a number of ways in america present, lee, where they are signs of, restoration, signs of renewal and the number homeschoolers has boomed in america to almost. 4 million homeschoolers, private and christian and jewish education is increase seeing the number americans who have who never been before involved in in issues of running for the school board paying attention to the curric

this is a rare good news story for conservation. this is a conservation success story, yes. conservation. this is a conservation success story, yes. it's nice to have one? yes, it is. all right? yeah. success! we did it! we made it to the other side. exactly! laughter good morning, welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and sally nugent. our headlines today. a personal christmas message from the princess of wales — after a year involving cancer treatment, she urges people to slow down and reflect on the deeper things that connect us all. nasa hopes to make history today, as its solar probe aims to get closer to the sun than ever before. if you struggle putting up your christmas fairy lights this year, just take a look at this. 200,000 bulbs on this house, or raising money for a very good cause. we'll show you around later. good morning. still christmas shopping to do? you are not the only one. 8% of consumers are only going to get started today. we ask

>>> fox news still the conservative network in the united states. and it is fox that we have big news about tonight. now that donald trump is headed back to the white house, if you want to shape american politics, fox is the place to be. right now, at least 12 of his cabinet picks are fox news hosts or contributors. and this is a staffing agency, extend far beyond just fox hosts and paid contributors. a lot of are just fox news regulars. guests that appear on the channel hundreds of times of year. some like chris wright have no government experience at all and only caught trump attention because of his appearances on fox news there is no institution as critical to the trump presidency and right as fox news. we got news that the network's conservative mission could be facing and threat coming from the very top. but let me back up. are you familiar with the show? you should be. and the whole show is sort of who is going to hate it thrown saga as a fictional succession ever the family. i'm about to lee redevelop spoiler. mute your tv if you prefer to w

whether or not a conservative defectors, whether or not there will be a conservative defectors will go over and help the progressive block get to the 2 thirds majority needed. there's $300.00 members of the national assembly. the constitution requires 2 thirds majority to meet the president. that's 200. there is a $192.00 opposition m. p 's. and so if you only need a conservative m p 's anterior discount factor question before i think that's what's going on right now inside the conservative block. literally, in real time, i think i have a big debates right now about whether or not they should give a free vote and allow people about their conscience and which case you and will probably lose or if they're going to vote as a block. because as you mentioned, i mean the conservative party's messaging in the last 2 days. i've been quite confused. if you look at the conservative presence out for you, it's all over the place to it's just not really clear. if the right know is suffering, right, knows how it wants to vote on this. i just don't think there's a clear line yet, but it can always go

do you believe they will steer the network in a less conservative direction? >> i think that you know, i don't want to pretend that somehow they are saviors who will come in and sort of protect everybody from the destructive effects of fox news. that's not what i think necessarily, but i don't think i need to think that. there are realities here that play out in this litigation, which is that fox news is about as much as making money as it is of advancing a political agenda. it is effectively a super pac in many ways in extension of murdoch's politics. they leave a lot of money on the table. advertiser issues they have had they were not maximizing profits, they were losing money every day during parts of those years. they were leaving money on the table, but they let that happen, because they were serving a political advantage during a period of time. so what i think is likely though is that they see a future for fox news. we got a few of this before james murdoch left. he had big plans for fox news post 2017 when he moved into him and lachlan murdoch for runn

by the way, not only by members of the far right, but also especially from the conservative block as well, although there's a difference between the 2. but nevertheless, this was used in the past by these parties. in this particular case, it could be a little bit different because indeed the main suspect is an immigrant. indeed, the main suspect comes from on saudi arabia. indeed, the main suspect hot refugee status here in germany, from the information that we've been able to gather. but the fact is that he supported at least from the social media posts that's several media outage reveal, he supported the far right of the. so it will be interesting to see how the, the positions themselves, whether they still view this issue of immigration as being very critical. specifically, in this case, whether they still use that element to defend their own political views, or whether they take a little bit of a step back and distance. because they know ultimately that the man who's suspected of carrying out there's a time was actually a supporter of the party. so one thing will be to see how i'

i don't call it national conservative, whatever. i just look at the contrast between where we were 20 years ago and where we are today. and i think the cost of child care is part of that problem. again, there are other reasons as well, cultural and otherwise, smartphones certainly haven't helped. i don't think, because people are spending more time with their phones than with each other. but i do think that it's worth looking at proposed laws to create paid maternity leave, paid child care and understanding that that could be a net positive for the economy and for the federal fiscus. one of your chapters is about the problem of national debt, which right now debt service, i believe, has eclipsed military spending in the united states. so congratulations to everybody involved, i suppose i will note, perhaps dryly, that the debt hasn't seemed to be an overriding concern of donald trump's political career. am i correct in assuming that you are trying gently to suggest to the possible next president that maybe he should take it a little

he was more conservative than everybody across the aisle. he was more conservative than half the republicans up here, because they thought entitlements should be based on the economy. their entitlements go down when the economy goes down. their economy goes down, there entitlements shrink and people get less. people would go nuts here. we do the opposite. in the last four years they created so much inflation peoples costs went up 20%. what did we do? we gave cost-of-living adjustments to those on social security. and we did, but we were short even more money. it made the problem even worse and sped up the bankruptcy of social security. my amendment would say we have to reduce spending. some people say to conservatives, both in my party and the others, oh you people are unrealistic, you will never vote to raise the debt ceiling. even if my had my way and we got cuts significant enough i think the american people would accept and balanced the budget in five years, we would still accumulate debt over those five years. and i would vote to raise

do you believe that they will potentially steer the network in a less conservative direction? >> referee: don't want to pretend somehow they are saviors that will come in and sort of protect everybody from the destructive effects of fox news. that is not what i think. but there are real realities. fox news is as much about making money as it is advancing a political agenda. it is essentially a superpac in a way. that is evidenced by the fact they actually leave a lot of money on the table. all the advertiser issues they have had. they were not maximizing profits. they were losing money every day during parts of those years. leaving money on the table. but they let that happen because they were serving a political advantage during a period of time. so what i think is likely, though, is that they see a future for fox news. james had big plans for fox news post 2017 when he moved in with lachlan. they were corunning the place. he had a big strategy for how they would expand their footprint internationally. to weaken the brand that fox news had built. it was a toxic brand globally

we often think of conservation only in terms of sacrifice.fact, it is the most painless and immediate way of rebuilding our nation's strength. every gallon of oil each one of us saves is a new form of production. it gives us more freedom, more confidence, that much more control over our own lives. so, the solution of our energy crisis can also help us to conquer the crisis of the spirit in our country. it can rekindle our sense of unity, our confidence in the future, and give our nation and all of us individually a new sense of purpose. you know we can do it. we have the natural resources. we have more oil in our shale alone than several saudi arabias. we have more coal than any nation on earth. we have the world's highest level of technology. we have the most skilled work force, with innovative genius, and i firmly believe that we have the national will to win this war. i do not promise you that this struggle for freedom will be easy. i do not promise a quick way out of our nation's problems, when the truth is that the only way out is an all

this is a rare good news story for conservation. this is a conservation success story, yes. did it! we made it to the other side. exactly! laughter hello. the good news is, for those of you still to do some pre—christmas travel, the weather is looking fairly benign for christmas eve for the vast majority. a fair bit of cloud around, admittedly — we saw that roll in on monday — and much, much milder than it has been. temperatures on monday afternoon, 11—5 celsius for quite a few, a good 8—10 celsius warmer for tuesday afternoon on christmas eve. that milder air�*s been pushing in already, and will continue to do so into the morning, around this area of high pressure to the south of us and behind weather fronts. so, by the time we start christmas eve, temperatures for the vast majority are actually in double figures first thing in the morning. lots of cloud around, a rather grey start to the day, however and, certainly in the west, some outbreaks of rain or drizzle. a few spots further east, too, but some of the wettest conditions throughout christmas eve will be to the north

we are dealing with the £22 billion black hole that the conservatives left.i am not going to write the next five years of budgets at the dispatch box. we said that we would not hit the payslips of working people. we passed the budget, we invested in the future and we kept that promise. >> mr. speaker, he is not fixing any foundations; he is making everything worse. the whole house will have heard him refuse to repeat the chancellor's pledge, a pledge as worthless as the manifesto promises that he is talking about. if he is fixing foundations, why is it that the pmi index shows that business confidence has crashed since the budget? prime minister starmer: we are fixing the foundations. we got record investment into this country. she talks about tax rises. two weeks ago, she stood there and said that she wanted all the investment and all the benefits of the budget. but she did not know how she was going to pay for it. i notice that having come here criticising the national insurance rises over and over again, on monday she admitted that she would not reverse th
