it was revived under margaret thatcher's premiership. there were some rocky patches before that, but she had a close ideological relationship with ronald reagan. they were very fond of each other personally. so that was the beginning of a long stretch -- it was not quite so warm under her successors. tony blair became extremely close to bill clinton. and to president bush. i would say that that was a particularly interesting time of the transatlantic relationship. british politicians were sometimes embarrassed at what the public like to call the special relationship. when the prime minister comes into town, some of those things are little unnecessary. >> you have watched our government over 25 years and your own government. what is the main difference for someone who has never thought about it, between the two democracies? >> you cannot have logjam the same way under a parliamentary system that you can have and do have under your system. the government cannot shut down. if the government cannot get its business through the house of commo

it is fitting that our event was hosted by the margaret thatcher freedom. throughout her political career, lady thatcher grew strength and inspiration, especially at moments when she face huge challenges, key moments in history that called for ironclad resolve. she also drew comfort from the fact that churchill had on numerous occasions count himself alone on the political stage, scorned by many in his own party but never let you turn to stand by his principles and beliefs. determination to confront this radical regime and reject temptations of appeasement was influenced by her admiration for churchill's courage. to quote the our lady, everything about churchill was heroic. he was a leader, a man among men and as he recalled in a speech at churchill's birthplace, for me in so many others, our ideas of liberty, honor, sacrifice, fellowship and value have been formed at churchill's words. please join me in welcoming con coughlin, journalists and historians.

i just don't feel that, you know, even despite margaret thatcher and gold -- i don't have the rough and tumble nature of it. how do you respond to that? would you defend hillary clinton? would you say, look, she has the tools to be the commander and chief? not ideology, i know you disagree with her philosophy. but just as a woman, as a person? does she have the tools? well, there are some americans as i said who aren't quite comfortable yet with seeing a woman as president. but, again, we have one because the overwhelming majority of americans look to merit. hillary clinton's case will be difficult because she has to answer the question of commander and chief. that's going to be very difficult for her in light of her failures in benghazi. she has another question that she has to answer with health care. she is the god mother of obamacare. in fact, her version of hillary care was probably far more complex an difficult than obamacare. and, hillary clinton will represent barack obama's third and potentially fourth term in office. those are very high hurdles for hillary clinton to overcome.

one of them is margaret thatcher and a statement she made back in 1983 about victorian values or is it virtues? >> guest: that's what's interesting. that as much as anything else provoked me to write that book. in 1983 she was involved in one of her electoral campaigns, and she was being interviewed by a young woman reporter who was rather hostile to her and who at one point said, "mrs. thatcher, it does sound to me as if you were approving of victorian values," to which mrs. thatcher said, "but of course. exactly. those were the values that helped make our country great." then she subsequently went on and she picked up this expression "victorian values." it was used throughout the campaign and in later campaigns. i discovered one occasion when, in fact, she used the expression not "victorian values" but "victorian virtues," but it was reported in the press as victorian values. that's the way we now understand, and she herself later picked up that expression. c-span: listed here are the cardinal virtues: wisdom, justice, temperance, courage. which one of those is your favorite? >> gues

significantly, the threat of a nuclear war has been diminished significantly thanks to ronald reagan, margaret thatcher, pope john paul ii and some will say gorbachev. those four personalities engaged together brought about -- were the leadership that brought about the die nam take brought an end to the cold war and in the aftermath of the cold war there were those sitting around, cold warriors, to celebrate the thoached cold war, a victory for the free world, not only the united states but our allies, a victory for the free world and as they celebrated, they got ready to raise their glasses, one of them, one of them said just a minute. don't be too soon to celebrate because think of this, the world will not long tolerate a lone superpower. there will be allegiances and alliances made that you've not imagined that will line up against the united states. and if those forces line up against the united states and they -- against the united states, and they will, we will find ourselves with competition and enemies we have not seen before in this -- in the world. and some of those will be an alliance that d
