charles was maggie thatcher's closest collaborator inform policy. closeness was indicated by the fact that he and his wife carla were the only other gas at the dowling street dinner party that prime minister sacher gave to president mrs. reagan on his last official visit to britain. there were six people around the table. he remained a close and devoted friend to maggie thatcher right until the day of her death. in fact he was the last run to see her. i think his opinion on this question commands therefore, respect. respect. so does robin harris, who vigorously disputed the judgment and the london spectator. he was a head of the research department, before that one of the ghosts who help with her biography, as i did in and he helped her with her final book. he he declared adamantly, i know that margaret thatcher would have fought fort with all her strength. charles judgment was seconded by one former cabinet minister and this is thatcher's cabinet. and also by you. wayne and from the sidelines was charles moore, her more distinguished than recent bi

people point to people like maggie thatcher from getting elected and reelected in england 30 years agoit makes us look like we need special treatment. you can't be tough on me because i'm a woman. any woman with self respect will have problem that goes across the political spectrum. >> amen. sandra: you're smiling. sandra: go back to the initial point on the conversation her views on the economy. you talk about how she is playing woman card. she has gone from that saying her husband will fix the economy >> secretary of state john kerry ordering the state department to reexamine how a video of a 2013 press conference was censored to remove a cents tiff discussion about the iran -- sensitive discussion about the iran nuclear deal. why they didn't get to the bottom of this the first go round and whether an outside group should take over the probe. home, car, life insurance obviously, ohhh... but with added touches you can't get everywhere else, like claim free rewards... or safe driving bonus checks. even a claim satisfaction guaranteeeeeeeeeee! in means protection plus unique extras only

more precisely, how would maggie thatcher vote in next thursday's referendum. it was a quarrel between mrs. thatcher's former aides, friends of mine -- and of yours now -- but not household names outside that small circle. but it was, therefore, a well informed debate. what is more interesting even in the outcome of that controversy, however, is the fact of it. fully a quarter sently after she left office -- century after she left office, margaret thatcher is only two post-war british prime ministers, the other is churchill, whose views remain both contested and important to large numbers of british people. that is because whatever other sit drivens may be leveled against them and may be believed, both leaders are recognized universally to have had a visceral patriotism that made them love their country and fight hard for its interests. no other prime ministers before or since inspire quite that same belief. and that's why people ask what would maggie do. i'm going to return to that question in a few minutes. but to do so, i must first describe the thatcher leg

we had maggie thatcher preceding ronald reagan. it over there. so the closest connection was with britain but what van hipp is saying is absolutely true. all over europe, rome, italy, they have a big independence party. even the french, a lot of french emigres here in new york city from paris, saying we can't take it anymore. paris has socialist mayor as well as socialist president. regulatory burdens there are extraordinary. a lot of very business people, successful entrepreneurs providing capital and jobs to their countrymen in france are doing the same thing here because they can't work at all there. even places like france which is the most self-centered country in the world in many sense, where a lot of these words come from, show vannism, and -- chauvinism and so forth we have to do to make this thing work because it is not working right now. connell: van, thank you very much for joining us, van hipp. david of course will stay. i want to get to break by telling you hillary clinton has responded to benghazi report. remember we

>> i think sort of the similar precedent to when maggie thatcher was elected in the uk and started a conservative revolution and which followed two years later with ronald reagan. stuart: you think there is parallel between thatcher and reagan in 1980? >> i do. stuart: and england and america today, really? what is this all about? stuart: that is wishful thinking. >> maybe. but it is about people not having confidence in the elites as you say and bucking the trend and anti-establishment vote. there is a lot of parallels here. obviously immigration is sort of single big issue we both have in common. many other issues including sovereignty. stuart: what do you say? >> as political weather forecaster i say more storms are coming. basically the rhetoric is very similar, not just between the donald trump campaign and what you're hearing from the separatist its but also if you look elsewhere in europe, the euro skeptics, many of these 2countries, they have had a terrible year. they have been fraught with not just immigration issues but migration issues. this has great predictive value in t

host: i'm reminded the election of the conservative party leader maggie thatcher.979 election, many said that was a precursor to the election of ronald reagan in 1980. from your standpoint and what we've seen over the past 24 hours in the united kingdom is that a fair analogy or comparison? guest: it might be a fair analogy. again, i think it's easy to overstate potentially the parallels. because again, as you point out just now, the issue of kind of britain's role in europe and this feeling that britain's, you know, the brits want to take control, take more control away from bureaucrats in brussels, that's a long-standing issue here, predates donald trump, it predates the rise of the sort of populism you're seeing in the u.s. right now, particularly in the republican primary and so i'd be wary of, there's definitely -- there are elements, there's definitely similarities. but i'd be wary at this point of drawing too many parallels between what is happen withing here and what's happening there in terms of what it could mean for the u.s. presidential election. host:
