from the coalition between the lib dems and the conservatives now that wasn't a merger but it served as a merger and threw the lib dems from fifty seven seats down to eight in the twenty fifteen election the activist base hasn't forgotten that but surely a formation of a new party and cooperation with the existing center party the liberal democrats is not the same thing as going into a coalition with the tories a wind chill of liberal activists or grassroots members of able to distinguish between our parliamentary governmental coalition and the americans of a new political force you're right a conservative lib alliance which becomes a party isn't the same as a coalition it's worse because at this point not only are you in a marriage of convenience your marriage for the long term and if for example the numbers dictate that twenty or thirty conservatives join just twelve lib dems and who knows how many from labor the lived an activist base will say this is the end of us not least because for many the dems by the end of the coalition it was anathema and the party says we don't want to g

by the way, the dems are calling for investigations but for two months they didn't -- i mean the dems have plenty of resources. they could have carried out an investigation of their own. they did nothing. and still have done nothing. >> and they won't do anything. they didn't show up when kavanaugh came up into questioned by republican staffers under oath. they didn't even show up and my sense she won't show up on monday. they'll make whatever requirements so severe that she'll say no, it's too severe, i won't come. if she does that, i think he marches forward. lou: to the two senator that have moved out on point, has ro no and gil gillibrand of new yo, they're talking like they're taking on the world. that is despicable conduct on their part. >> gillibrand is running for president and she'll do as well as the last senator who had that last seat, hillary clinton did, she won't be the nominee, of course. but that's her goal. and it's all candidates. lou: what i mean, why are the republicans pulgt up with this nonsense? they are sitting there listening to gillibrand and others talking a

the dems' behavior, i have seen some ugly hearings. this -- the democrats look absolutely berserk. >> well you're absolutely right, lou. and this really highlights the choice that the voters will have in the upcoming election. do we want results or resistance. do we want to move the country guard with growth of the gdp, higher wages and people on the courts in our land who will interpret the law rather than trying to make the law from the bench or do we want just the persistent lunacy that we see from the left. i think trump derangement syndrome is getting so bad we might have to have medicaid cover it as an ailment. what you saw from cor cory bookr was very selfish and very serious. it puts in jeopardy the future of the senate's work in the confirmation process. if potential people looking for an appointment don't believe their information will be treated with some similar blens of respect, they'll be less forthcoming in the future. lou: cory booker exposed who he is, his qualifications and the fact that he seems utterly lost in the r

well, there are two big issues which you can't escape at the lib dem conference in brighton this yearxit and the party's policy, of course, to oppose and stop brexit in whatever way they can. and the other one is really the state of the party itself and whether it needs to undergo big changes, as the leader, sir vince cable, has put forward and suggested, in order, really, to survive and broaden its appeal, to bring more people in as unpaid supporters, to allow non—mps to stand for the leadership. that's something which sir vince cable was facing questions on in the main hall in brighton earlier on. there is a bit of nervousness i think it's fair to say among the lib dem members who have heard these proposals and are worried that the party is going to be open to all and sundry and someone who wasn't an elected member of parliament, who the membership weren't particularly happy with, could come in and be installed as leader of the party. as one person put it to sir vince cable, they were worried that somebody like chuka umunna, the labour mp who has been campaigning for a second vote o

a bit of nervousness it's fair to say among lib dem members who have heard these proposals and worry be open to all and sundry and that someone who was not an elected member of parliament to the membership one particularly happy with could come in and install themselves as leader of the party, as one person put it to sir vince cable, they were worried someone like chuka umunna, the labour mp campaigning fora like chuka umunna, the labour mp campaigning for a second vote the final deal with brussels, could come in and end up as the party leader. this was sir vince cableresponse. there is no leadership election in prospect except in the longer term. we have very good mps, i see nothing wrong with opening up the talent paul and looking at people who share oui’ paul and looking at people who share our values. it may be that the party rejects them, maybe they don't get through the nomination process, maybe they don't get through the star chamber interrogation process. at least not rule things out from first principles, because we can think of somebody who we distrust who might get through

a very disenchanted right in the labor party as well now as somewhere in the middle we've got the dems as well but the real driving force i would say is those individuals who feel that the conservatives and labor simply aren't for them we've seen this before that was how the end as the pm urged a long time ago and then really the lib dems were a product of a merger in themselves would have required a catalyst something like a successful boris johnson assault on the to do with the sort of the require something like that to take people over the light it's like nuclear physics it needs an energy source to make the change now boris johnson could be that energy source because if he gets elected to the conservative party there's a whole bunch of conservatives no doubt dozens of them who will say this party is not for me at the same time you've got a disillusioned labor party which might then decide that the breakaway conservatives are close enough to their right wing views and labor to form some kind of a nucleus so yes you're right there needs to be a catalyst and that could work for both p

yesterday in your speeches at the lib dems should own their failures speeches at the lib dems shouldf things we did i‘m very proud of, taking people out of paying income tax, free school meals. more money for the poorest pupils. lots of things we did were good but equally there were things that we got wrong. i wonder if the fa ct that we got wrong. i wonder if the fact that you voted for tuition fees means that you shouldn‘t lead your party in the future because you are clearly a politician that breaks your promises. well, we've apologised and i apologise again that we got that wrong and that we didn‘t keep that promise... that we got that wrong and that we didn't keep that promise...” understand that apology and some people will have her your apology and may accept it. but the point is, you cannot be trusted, can you?” don‘t think that‘s the case. you know also i don‘t think, you know, goes through their... you know, their life or work without making a mistake and when that happens, the thing is to do —— the thing to do is be straightforward about it. the focal point is not about th

some jew as well the independent reports what do you call the lib dems climax gone horribly wrong that's right an exotic spread this is the liberal democrats who people still vote for in this country some vote for them their poll ratings kind of been a little bit but it is finale speech the current leader vince cable tried to use a phrase which was meant to bring the house down with humor and he was describing backstairs as having he was trying to say and erotic spasm but instead it came out as exotics present we began by talking about the state and he b.b.c.'s drama i'm not sure these saw one of their broadcasters telling jeremy corbyn the leader of western europe's largest labor movement to apologize to camera for being an anti c major something like that and the chance you can apologise for your leader well i'm going to break with that tradition and on behalf of vince cable and the lib dems i'd like to apologize for the leader's mistake but we all know of course it was caused by jeremy corbin. sure there was an apology and the labor party deny any of those accusations have it over tha

judge kavanaugh said pointblank, the radical dems have created a national disgrace. he was not that succinct but i am. your thoughts? >> it was a roller coaster of a day, lou. most republicans watching the hearing fell for doctor ford and felt like she could be believed but that's different than whether it is true or not. you see how respectively the republicans treated her compared to way the democrats treated judge kavanaugh. that was revealing. at the end of the day have a lot of friends brought the political spectrum on the republic inside and not a one of them thinks at the end of the day just kavanaugh should not be confirmed after the spectacle. he did a good job, lindsey graham did a tremendous job of calling this what it was and when the democrats are reduced to talking about bark jokes and a yearbook they are really scraping the bottom of the barrel. this ended up as a good day for judge kavanaugh. lou: senator whitehouse will never - >> of all people to talk about veracity he is a joke. lou: he is a joke. were he not before, he is as of today forevermore.

we're watching the lib dems because it's their conference and the independent talks about how there mayority of us who would consider a new centrist party underlines vince cable is talking about. although i'm not sure why we're giving so much credence to the conference of a party with only eight members, at the end of the date that is not much to go on, on the other hand this is a moment for those peoples who are fed up, not necessarily for a new party but to start joining necessarily for a new party but to startjoining the lib dems and make that into what they want it to be, and existing party that is desperate in need of bodies and ideas and if you conflate those stories you could say the majority are ready to join the lib dems and create a centrist party. this is all going well as an interview until vince cable got to the bit about if there is an election and the chaotic consequences of brexit, i would be leading it, and... he was asked if it could still hold true, the suggestion he made that he might be prime minister and he says you never know. you think you might be deluded? i thi
