that helen thomas and madeleine albright. it's not fair. the left should love sarah palin. lovely children that she picks up and takes to school, same as michele bachmann, while balancing everything else. barack obama only has two children and his joe biden picking them up from school. the left should love the sarah palin, and bullies like debbie wasserman schultz, go after them. how dare they? debbie wasserman schultz acts like she knows everything. she is hogan's heroes sergeant shultz. she knows nothing.

[laughter] feel sorry for me, will you please? so i worked on the security committees and certainly the dicey period was 9/11 forward, and i intersected the national security apparatus

then she was joined by madeleine albright and the.trong and very important in any that humanitarian disaster. but as she got older and stop giving lectures, obviously a staff wound down. and recently just a few months ago it was announced that her office was closing completely. so she no longer has any staff at all, except for care. >> host: her daughter is very active with her, correct? >> guest: well, both her children live abroad, and so i think the film perhaps makes that relationship out to be possibly more than it is. not to say that she is estranged from her children, but lady thatcher deafened has a very close call supporters and friends, loyal friends who do go around to see her and check on her and keep her company. >> host: where do her children have? >> guest: well, my understanding is that they like to keep their location quiet. >> host: okay. is the cover star has a picture of meryl streep of course dressed as margaret thatcher. did meryl streep speak with you about this? aspect yet she did. >> guest: yes, she did. we ha
