so is margaret thatcher. margaret thatcher did a phenomenal job in turning around the trajectory of the united thatom, and her reward for , much like the reward for winston churchill, was that ultimately she was turned out of power. a classic example of someone who was right by my perspective, and by i suspect everybody in the room, i don't mean right of center, i mean correct, who was rejected by the british body politic. a conservative who stands on his or her principles, the most conservative will always be elected. how did that turn out in 1964 with goldwater? how did it turn out with sharron angle and christine o'donnell and todd akin question mark it simply isn't true. i wish it was true, but it simply isn't true. how many people in this hall regard yourselves as a firm tea party last -- firm tea partyist? is that less than a majority? you tell me. >> less than a majority that have hands up. there are more going up. >> i'm glad to hear that. if everybody in this room had raised his or her hand saying un

one of the things that we all know is that ronald reagan was great friends with margaret thatcher: margarettcher went through this battle in britain with the equivalent of, you know, the conservative party torrey establishment over there. and i wanted to quote from an article that she wrote in 1975 when she declared her candidacy for party leader. quote: one of the reasons for our electoral failure is that people believe too many conservatives, as in capital c in the conservative party, have -- and she put the word "have" in bold print -- have become socialist already. britain's progress towards socialism has been an alternation of two steps forward with half a step back, and why would anyone support a party that seems to have the courage of no convictions? then she went on to talk about what she called the socialist ratchet. quote: the notion of a ratchet reflected the fact that britain's postwar history had consisted of sharp swings to the left followed by periods when the -- [inaudible] was arrested but never reversed. to translate into our terms in the republican party in america, what

going back to the time that margaret thatcher said gorbachev was somebody we could do business with. ronald reagan was able to cut some deals with them. gorbachev said we are going to have a relationship based on partnership. that continued from gorbachev into yeltsin. from reagan into bush 41 and into the early years of the obama administration. that era is now behind us. we now have overtly put a leader in the kremlin who does not believe the fundamentals of the u.s.-russian relationship and the relationship between russia and the west is one of partnership. he sees it as adversarial. it is a new ballgame. by going over what i think is the ultimate red line with regards to russia -- the border around russia and actually grabbing a piece of territory from an independent, sovereign state and pulling that into russia, he has created not just a new fact on the ground but a new danger which is that we have a russia that is going to make great russian nationalism and going back and getting a hold of a territory where there are a lot of russians. that is a very dangerous development. it i

ronald reagan was one of my hero's and so is margaret thatcher. margaret thatcher did a phenomenal job to a turnaround the trajectory of the united kingdom. her reward for that much like the record for winston churchill is that she was turned out of power. an example of someone who was right by my perspective and i suspect everybody in the probe. who was eventually rejected. there is a bromide going around to that a conservative who stands on his or her principles the most conservative will space be elected. what about 64 with goldwater? how did that turnout for others? that is not true. i wish you were. but it is not to. how many people regard yourselves as a firm teapartier number? is that less than majority? you tell me. i am glad to hear that. if everybody based their hand unanimously we would be in a lot of trouble. not because i disagree, i embrace the. but this discussion is about unity and winning elections. that is my goal.

it is fitting that our event is hosted by margaret thatcher's center for freedom. throughout her political career lady thatcher could strengthen inspiration from churchill's lead, especially at moments when he faced huge challenges, a key moments in history that call for ironclad resolve. also drew comfort from the fact that churchill had on numerous occasions found to itself alone on the political stage was scorned even by many in his own party, but never deterred. dodgers determination to confront tyrannical regimes and reject the temptation of appeasement was influenced by her admiration for his courage. everything about churchill was heroic. he was a leader, a man among men and as you recall for me in for so many others our ideas of liberty, honor, sacrifice, or idea of burden herself had been formed by churchill's words. please join me in welcoming historian, journalist, thank you.

[laughter] which, lastly, brings me to president reagan and his great friend, margaret thatcher.s a reason ronald reagan won two landslides and margaret thatcher was the longest serving british prime minister of the 20th century, winning three elections in a row. both believed with the tea party in drawing a line in the sand that clearly separates right from left. that is not only the key to victory, they were right about in the establishment -- and the establishment was wrong. president reagan referred to establishment republicans of the type the tea party does battle with every day as fraternal order republicans. mrs. thatcher summoned a term from the british school system and called her establishment conservatives the whacks. both believed that the politics of what ronald reagan called the fraternal order and mrs. thatcher deemed as consensus politics were road maps to defeat. in fact, one suspects if there had been a tea party in britain, mrs. thatcher would have been its leader. said she, scornfully of the con census politics she believed had brought repeated defeats to the

. >>> there's a famous quote from the former british prime minister, margaret thatcher. quote is this. if you want something said, ask a man. if you want something done, ask a woman. and a woman is now emerging as a major player in the crisis in ukraine. we're talking about the german chancellor, angela merkel. brian todd is with us with more on this part of the story. she is a very significant player. >> very significant, wolf. she is seen now as increasingly maybe the person who could be the most central to resolving this crisis. her diplomats are the ones pushing many of the diplomatic initiatives that are actually taking some traction right now with ukraine. germany has huge economic leverage with russia. they are a huge trading partner with russia. they buy about a third of their natural gas from russia. they export technology in cars to russia. it is a huge relationship. vladimir putin certainly does not want to see that, you know, take a bad turn at this point. but also, there is a real personal dynamic between angela merkel and vladimir putin. where putin really

at the rise of margaret thatcher it wasn't just about her leadership it was about the fact that the median voter in the populous country was sick of it and it's an interesting testament to changes that were brought have been persisted and are now part of the mainstream of the status quo endorsed by the military and in others. the education of the people who leads to some sort of positive response. it's hard in finance because it is very arcane. >> after they read your book they will be less susceptible. my guests today have been steve. thanks. we are going to open up for q-and-a and then have the food and drinks. please when you are called on to identify your self by name if you could. here in the front. and use the microphone if you could. i'm trying to figure out what makes the banks stable and the thing that comes to mind is charter value. you only have five of them and they are profitable and so they don't want to lose their charter. and maybe that stabilizes things. if you do, what are the forces that keep that from happening in the u.s.. they don't want the banks to be profitable and

this most impossible dream hits up against margaret thatcher stick to them that there is no no -- corporateapitalism. it's as inevitable as the air we read but as long as corporations occupy her mind, our media, our shopping malls and political processes they will have an advantage in shaping patterns of consumption and discouraging healthy or more alternatives. thus, the corporations from their privileged positions as essential to ask. our consciousness, our communities and our political processes. in the book i describe some of the ways that act as this, health professionals, governments and movements have reduced the power of corporations to shape environments, behaviors and lifestyles that influence our health. these responses are as varied as the african-american community group in philadelphia that forced reynolds company to end testmarketing for a new cigarette uptown market to blacks. they did it by organizing a coalition of civil rights, health religious and community groups to say no not in our community. we claim the right to say no or our community. another example in california

i dare you know margaret thatcher eliminated the greater london council because the head of the greater london council disagreed with her and she figured that that was probably the parents and in the technical side of the hour and there and really when you are thinking when the realtor says you need anything else to ask you question his generation is going on here. took the pics is actually a trip to tuscany where religion has endured but the statement added from washington to try and and twitter is the equivalent of book burning in the twentieth century in all those who are we looking at this too westernized a dvd cd release all the rallies huge numbers of people who've been coming out. old people in the heartland. this is like a toy that they don't read this the same way. yes but if you look at the recent history people who bend the tree terrible bar and the internet that he has finished pretty badly and dance and eighty minutes. what use is true then that the dude in the vocal supporters of. i don't care but did not retire and times and they're not suited to their users but i think i

president reagan and margaret thatcher and john paul ii, it's now in jeopardy. is that, alan, something that you take very seriously and you would want the president to have understood from the get-go? >> i think the president does understand it. in 2008 when russia invaded georgia. the bush administration did doing. martha: if president obama looked at that than said president bush made a huge mistake wouldn't that have changed their foreign policy plan and not allow to it happen again? >> which is why the things i just mentions are going opening. discussions involving angela merkel, trade and investment that are being discussed. martha: i think they may be trying to put the cow -- or the horses back in the barn. >> and the cow. when you hear the president complain about the legal advice putin is getting. that's an indication he doesn't understand how the world works. it doesn't work on the basis of international law or the advice of lawyers. it works on the basis of what your interests are. and you work based on your interests. >> i don't know want steps you w

[ woman ] got me to 70 years old. i'm going have to rethink this thing. it's hard to imagin how much we'll need for a retirement that could last 3years or mor so maybe we need to approach things dferently, if we want to be ready for a longer retirement. ♪ scan. they make those/drives. hit a new high of 78, we are up 3.8%. nice gain. nancy pelosi at it again telling the gop not to run on obamacare.

margaret thatcher's famous words about ronald reagan is that he won the cold war without firing a shot, and that can be accomplished. >> senator mccain, senator durbin mentioned that china today abstained from the bow. do you think there is a greater role that china can play in helping to defuse this crisis? >> why don't i let senator durbin -- >> i talked today to some powers, the member's -- the u.s. ambassador to the united nations, and she was trying mightily to bring in china to vote with us. the abstention is something, but we with that they had been with us -- we wish that they had been with us. we will continue to work with them. we need to increase that family of nations across the world that are willing to stand up, and i hope they will be part of it in the future. >> mr. senators, [speaking foreign language] >> there is lots of information regarding the u.s. position on the crisis. particularly president obama that if russian forces crossed the border from the crimea into ukraine that this would mean a state of war exists, and the united states could potentially take part. i

and as lindsey graham said, there was a guy, in the words of margaret thatcher, who won the cold warwithout firing a shot. and it is called peace through strength. and it is through being steadfast. and right now, when the chinese announce that they are cutting their defense spending by -- they're increasing their defense spending by 12.2%, we are announcing that we are cutting our defense dramatically. and that is a long series of cuts in defense which can put this nation's national security interests further in danger. i thank my colleague from new hampshire for going to kiev. it's an uplifting and wonderful experience to see how much they want to be like us, how much they appreciate what little we do, how much it matters to them to be able to be part of a europe free, an economic system that is -- that does not -- is not beset with the corruption and kleptocracy that devastated their economy. and they need our help. hope tomorrow we will be passing legislation which will be the first step in providing that assistant to this -- that assistance to this nation. and i say to my collea

. >> i had actually been committed to play margaret thatcher.yl was steven's first choice for lincoln [ laughter ] >> none of us heard what daniel's voice sounded like until the first day of shooting. so the minute he opened his mouth in that first scene, i mean, it was just -- took your breath away. >> i am the president of the united states of america, clothed in immense power! >> i think with certain movies -- and it's happened i think over the course of time -- that certain movies do come in to being when the right person is there to play a significant part. >> why do they pick me for my photographs? why? because they want to see me, norma desmond. >> wherever there's a fight so hungry people can eat, i'll be there. >> it's sunday afternoons i think of most. >> i feel it all the time like a cat on a hot tin roof. >> it's chinatown. >> how are things going so far? >> fasten your seat belts. it's going to be a bumpy night. hey guys! sorry we're late. did you run into traffic? no, just had to stop by the house to grab a few things. you stopped

that i mean it's it's kind of like if you hearken back or go do your homework you'll see that margaret thatcher was you know pretty much thrown out of office because she refused you know to sort of put you know the you in europe you're a peon in and so. you know i think there's a little bit of that going on here do you think that media is playing a role in ramping up tensions between countries. i do certain yes i do i think you know the example i just gave a minute ago is a perfect example. there's. you know i'll give you another example. supposedly quote unquote respectable news channels they keep saying you know just like when russia attacked georgia really how about telling the truth didn't georgia attack russia and didn't russia retaliate isn't that the truth maybe people should either do their homework or stop just you know saying what they're told to say. so when you hear one american politician after another making the media rounds patronizing president obama and calling for it calling his foreign policy stance weak because he is not calling on the troops or anything like that do you thi
