of course a lot of these people who bought under margaret thatcher the right to buy most of them let them out including several of her senior cabinet ministers are huge wrong you know living off the rents of people forced to live in their those homes but they also call it the new generation that count possibly ever buy a home the generation rent the young are being hit particularly hard half of those renting privately are under thirty four statistics show that out of a total of fourteen point three million homeowners in england just one point four million are aged between twenty five and thirty four the time of life when the young families to do make their first step onto the property ladder in the sixteen to twenty four age group there are just ninety six thousand homeowners that homeownership they're saying is increasingly concentrated in the older people those who had the opportunity to buy the homes built by the taxpayer so that over a third of homeowners now in the u.k. are over sixty five well it goes back to this concept of interest rate apartheid which was engineered by marga

the rise of margaret thatcher was not just about margaret thatcher's leadership but the fact that themedian voter in that populist country was sick of it. an interesting testament that the changes raja under margaret thatcher have persisted and are part of the mainstream status quo endorsed by miller band and others. we are optimistic in the sense we are spending a lot of effort hoping that the education of people eventually leads to some sort of positive response. it is hard in finance because it is very arcane. it is too easy for politicians to give you the flimflam. >> let's be optimistic. why not? >> more educated readers your read your book, will be less susceptible. they have been, thank you for being here. charles calomiris. we are going to open up to q&a and then have volatile food and drink. when you are called on, identify yourself by name if you could. in the front? use the microphone if you could. >> trying to figure what makes canada's bank stable. 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 l

margaret thatcher tried to change that in england, in what became called as the poll tax. the idea was that every single citizen of the uk had to pay something in taxes, even if they got it back in subsidies elsewhere. if you didn't pay something in taxes, you couldn't vote. she was thrown under the bus by her own party for trying to push that through. the tom perkins system is, you don't get to vote unless you pay a dollar of taxes, but what i really think is, it should be like a corporation. if you pay a million dollars in taxes, you could get a million votes. how is that? [laughter] [applause] >> you're right that i don't agree with you. you're wrong that i'm angry. i would point out to you the flaw in your argument. since everybody pays sales tax, and anyone who drives a car pays taxes for that, then we're right back where we started, in the wonderful place where we've evolved since thomas jefferson, with everybody having the vote. >> that's not income tax. >> not income tax or property tax. i, for one, have enjoyed this conversation, immensely, despite my rambling. to

. >> stephen: is margaret thatcher the hero. huge fan, a huge fan of hers. >> we're not a fan of mrs. thatcher. it begins in social history, the story and then it becomes allegory. >> stephen: i don't know what that word means. >> i'm not sure i do. >> stephen: allegory. you also have the rain forest benefit coming up at carnegie hall, the 25th anniversary of your rain forest benefit. >> that's true. ( cheers and applause ) >> stephen: what side of that whole rain forest issue do you come down on? because if we didn't cut those trees down, they would swallow our cities, okay. at this point, we're just playing defense. so what's-- what's your take here on that rain forest thing? >> my instinct is we're better off with it. >> stephen: really. >> than without it. >> stephen: really? >> yeah, just an instinct.

with margaret thatcher, ronald reagan. the berlin wall coming down. >> those who came to see him like the 70,000 who packed candlestick park are remembering the new saint as just that. but not everybody is as happy to see pope john paul ii become a saint. victims victims of clergy abuse says he was responsible for covering up sexual abuse for years. the organization survivors fellwork claims the church has protected guilty priests while denying the abuse happened. >>> hundreds of people died or a still missing after a ferry sank earlier this month in korea. all 15 crew members have been arrested but the victim's family says the government did not do enough to rescue or protect people. >>> more severe weather is on tap for several u.s. states. this tornado touchdowned down in north carolina late yesterday. it was one of several twisters reported in that state. the storms damaged or destroyed more than 200 homes in that region alone. more than a dozen people were hurt. tomorrow the mid best is expected to be under the gun. >

, ronald reagan got a lot of credit for winning the cold war without firing a single shot as margaret thatcher put it, but historians are saying, look, all this happened under george herbert walker bush's watch. in 1989, the wall came down with bush. in 1991, you had the breakup of the soviet union. and president bush had to deal with tricky issues like german reunification. his won his war, the gulf war. >> reporter: when we look at current issues like what is happening in ukraine and you see the relationship between president obama and vladimir putin, does that put president bush in a different kind of light? >> i think the emergence of putin as a bully on the world stage is... has reminded people there was a time when the united states really out-foxed the soviet union. it's seen now in american history that the bush presidency, in the foreign policy realm, at least, as being kind of heroic. >> axelrod: professor douglas brinkley, thank you. >> thank you. >> axelrod: the mansion where the archbishop of atlanta has been living will go on the market after parishioners grew outraged by its opu

that is direct from margaret thatcher and you know that. steve and the socialist philosophy of one of thievery, taking another's property under threat of violence is robbery. david, i am listening to you, he says i know stuart varney is against socialism for the poor but his the also against it for the was for war against the bailout? i will give you a john kerry response. i was for it in the beginning and now i oppose it. many interesting viewpoint on our social media pages. we value them all. some very intelligent people chiming in on our social media pages. at&t is launching an in-flight internet service. texting, e-mails during the flight and internet based calls. you want that? they are promising faster speed starting next year. that may be good news for at&t stocks. it is up. bad news for the current leader in in-flight internet service. go go is down $4. talking about a sell-off. i can't even read that. 22% sell-off. thank you. you are not in that, are you? charles: i have a few things to do before this is over. stuart: general dynam

speaker, 35 years ago, we united to bring down the labor government and bring in margaret thatcher.oday they are united on the side of tax cuts for big business, united on the side of energy companies. doesn't this demonstrate, prime minister, that what people across the u.k. need is not separation between scotland and england, but liberation from right wing toward the economic? >> he has provided a very useful public service. he has reminded me of one useful thing that the s.n.p. have done in their history, which is to get rid of that dreadful labor government. where i don't agree with him -- i agree with him on one very important thing in spite of his views. i do agree that the united kingdom is much better off together. one of the issues he raised i think he is completely wrong about. this is the week they have cut corporation tax to 21%. that is going to attract businesses into england, wales and scotland. he should be standing up and praising this tax reduction rather than criticizing it. >> martin? >> it was recently said that he would give more weight to consultant's economic

reagan era, margaret thatcher, they were all around together at the same time bringing down the ironurtain and pope john paul ii had a hand in that. you see pictures of him now. he was very handsome, wonderful broad smile, and people loved him very much. catholics loved him very much. he reigned 25 years and a lot of people in the catholic church welcomes his elevation to st. hood. they praise him now. >> let me ask you this question. there are people who disagree, and they say--john paul ii did not do enough about the sex abuse scandal during his papacy. >> it is a very fair point that a lot of people in the catholic church raise even today. and of course it is very swift for someone to become a hope if they have a selection of miracles that they point in his direction. they're comfortable about that. you're right. the issue of the church child abuse scandal broke while he was running the vatican, and he is accused of not doing enough. he did what others did, and what others try to do, which was to protect the church first. rather than putting victims first. we saw the church critic

mice me of margaret thatcher.r so long as the rich get poor also. stuart: i want to bring in the latest on heart bleed, a security flaw that could leave your personal financial information exposed to hackers passwords as well. it could affect about two-thirds of all websites that you use. we're trying to get john mcafee on the phone. he is an expert in this area on security. we will get him and bring him to you when w he is available. at the irs. herman cain is with us. i want first of all for you to listen to what monica crowley said on this program regarding the irs scandal. >> i think actually thought and given the context the obama administration thus far they could do that and get away with it. not true. the irs scandal is most dangerous scandal in u.s. history. stuart: the most dangerous scandal in u.s. history. welcome back the program, do you agree with monica crowley? >> yes, think monica' exactly right for the following reasons. the irs has 80,000 ways they can intimidate a taxpayer. it is called the $80

we have a mayor who has tried to tell us that as margaret thatcher said, being powerful is like being a lady. if you have to tell people you are, you aren't. i ask for your vote. if you can't vote for me, contribute to me. let's get our country back on track. thank you. [applause] >> thank you. next, we have our district three candidates. robert is not here. earlier, rockwell collins is our largest manufacturer. they have a facility. equipment to boeing. they started from an arbiter started from an entrepreneur with a love of flying. he wasn't the only person that had a love of flying. lived wilbur wright also there. you'll notice the name on the street has the right -- is the wright brothers lavar. we have our third district candidate.

you can be a strong female leader like margaret thatcher or weak like jimmy carter. his weakness led to declining american influence in the world specifically the middle east. >> we see two leadership styles between president obama and vladimar putin. i want to get your take on the spin tactics that putten is using and not phased by the west. >> it is not my style for an american leader. but the puttin has the strategy and knows what he wants and he wants to re-establish russia in the space of the former soviet union. he is carrying that out. barak obama has no strategy or policy at all and weakens the united states around the world. it is not only an image problem but a fact in terms of decloining military budgets and a president that is follow-uppedmentally disinterested in american national security except when he can't avoid it. putin sees that weakness and taking advantage of. it >> i only have time for 20 more seconds. >> the president should slap sanctions on russia and barring the institutions. and bring ukraine in to the group >> many people thought they had

margaret thatcher was a woman. she was tough. the iron lady. when you inject masculinity and sexuality into it, it seems personal. toughness is a fair thing to bring up. >> forget about chuck todd. dana milbank wrote the column which was quoted on fox news this day. you said of his asia trip, he essentially is a tourist. the problem isn't that he pro-ekt,s weakness, it's that he doesn't project much of anything. it sounds like liberals are banning the president. >> i wasn't questioning his manhood for sure. >> you were using different words. >> i think that was the problem with what david did there. i suspect if he had those words to use over again, he might have chosen different ones. it's certainly a long-standing and legitimate complaint to say is this president forceful enough? i wasn't asking for a different policy. i was saying whatever your policy is, keep articulating it. don't keep hopscotching around the globe and getting distracted from what your actual agenda is. i think that's a fair criticism. i suspect it's better not to question

margaret thatcher, reagan, you would say they were large figures. putin is a large figure.ma, i will leave others to judge. but now, it is the square. the major confrontation is the autocrat versus the village square. there are pros and cons to each. we're seeing that in the ukraine, the arab spring, libya. that is the crucial confrontation. giving me square the power to organize is crucial. look at occupy. wall street. >> it makes order more difficult. >> you have to teach people to accept hierarchy and authority. you look at occupy wall street and it was not a lasting movement because they would not accept authority and create institutional structures. >> within their own ranks. >> is a flash in the pan. everything is a flash in a pan if you do not accept a -- have authority and institutional structures. >> but i cannot wait for the book. when is it out? >> about a year. ? >> think about the life you want to live. back in a moment. stay with us. >> ben horwitz is the cofounder and capital partner. he has emerged as a note to -- go-to mentor for tech. one ofckerberg calls

[laughter] you see so many leaders in politics and media who are making terrible mistakes. it is not that they are not smart but they are not wise. charlie, i know you and i are both fascinated by modern technology and what the tech world is doing. but we need to reevaluate our relationship with our devices. >> i totally agree with that. >> we are basically becoming their slaves. look at the attention that we are paid to making sure that devices are fully charged. we have little recharging shrines everywhere in our offices and our homes. we have portable charges. we get the alert, 20% battery remaining. we do not do anything like that with ourselves. we have to wait until we collapse in some form or another before we actually take steps. so i want to stop this wake-up call. i want people to make these changes before the wake up call. >> from my mother -- fo

let's talk about this with peter for the national journal and nile with margaret thatcher center forart with you. does refraining from using force and not even having it on the table make the united states look weak to other powers? >> no. first of all, the united states does have it on the table in certain circumstances. but i think obama's context is very important. obama took power after the bush administration had launched two disastrous wars that have cost the united states terribly in money and blood, leaving a situation in the united states where the american people and the american military are very drained of military -- very, very drained from those very, very expensive endeavors. obama's force is entirely appropriate. in ukraine, nobody is even suggesting military force. >> i think that is one of the questions, niles, which is nobody is proposing boots on the ground but republicans are requesting more aggressive aid, lethal aid to the ukrainians. is the president -- >> i think nobody is advocating that u.s. troops go into ukraine. without a doubt, i think the president has

when you are strong and you are tough, margaret thatcher said he won the cold war without a shot.'s because they were steadfast and strong. and we adhered to red lines. we didn't create red lines and abandon them. we didn't tell every country in the world don't count on the united states. these things don't happy accident. they are not like tornadoes or hurricanes or earthquakes. they are -- when your adversaries in a tough and dangerous world think you are weak, they will take advantage of it. >> and that's what you say happening now, one country after another, one is taking advantage of another. >> of course. for example, syria, after the russians invaded afghanistan, we gave a huge amount of weapons to the afghans and they were able to throw the russians out. if we were give plenty of weapons and assistance to the free syrian army, russian satellite would have been gone long ago. if we hadn't pulled everything out of iraq which the president wanted to do, the iraq/syria border would not be a basehaven for al qaeda and the message reverberates throughout the world, my friend. an

well, i just came from a lunch addressed by margaret thatcher. she's no longer prime minister, but she was an awfully good one. c-span: what about in history? would you put her up there high in history? >> guest: lower than some. i would say of world leaders of the last 200 years, the best ul

soviet union collapse, we had leaders who were pretty dominant figures in the world, whether margaret thatcher, mandela, reagan, you would say they were large fecial. large -- large figures. now it's the village square. so the mainly -- major confrontation is the autocrat versus the village square. we're seeing that in ukraine and the arab strain, libya, little bits and pieces in china, and those two forces, the square and the autocrat are one of the defining features of our day. so i was beginning to say, when i talked about how order is essential for our era, that's the crucial confrontation in giving the square the power to organize is crucial. you look -- >> charlie: but it also makes order more difficult. >> right, but you have to teach people to accept authority and hierarchy. you look at the occupy wall street movement and it was not a lasting movement because they wouldn't accept authority and create -- >> charlie: within ranks. yes, and everything is a flash in the pan if you don't have authority and institutional structures. >> charlie: great to have you, david brooks, "new york time

we will look at a picture of five presidents, all who met with pope john paul ii and he and margaret thatcherto bring down the wall of commun m communism. >> what they did was make their voice a global voice and there is no church that has that voice. we need that voice. someone who speaks power in that way based on common sense. and that is what the pope did. he kissed the ground upon arriving and that is something the whole word needs. >> a lot of people ask how do you become a saint. you see the pictures with the old eyeballs on the plate and these images. >> the first part is determining their heroically in the face of issues. and there is a process about if someone asked for their intercession like would you pray for me but it is after you are dead and saying you are close to god now so will you intercede and if a miracle is granted, and there is a medical community that looks into that, there is another step. >> they had pope john xxiii vatican two was part of his contributi contribution. >> he was a lot like pope francis. they called him the good pope. he was coming after pius the 12th

the rise of margaret thatcher was not just about tacher's leadership.it was about the fact that the median voter in that populist country was sick of it. it's an interesting testament that the changes that were brought under thatcher persisted and now part of the mainstream status quo broughtly others. the key thing is we're on optimistic in the sense we spend effort hoping that the education of the people eventually leads to some sort of positive response. it's hard in finance because it's arian keep. it's all too easy for politicians to give you the flimflam. let's be optimistic. why not? >> more educated areas after they read your book will be less susceptible to the flimflam. our guests, steve, charles, gentlemen, thank you for being a part of the discussion. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> opening it up to q q&a, and then food and drink. please, when you're called on, identify yourself by name, if you could, and down here in the front. you, if you could. >> okay. i'm arnold cling. i'm trying to figure sort of what makes canada's bank stable and the

and i have to say that when i heard those comments yesterday, i was reminded of something that margaret thatcher political opponents. mrs. pelosi's problems is her sign doesn't reach her brain. we have those doing everything in favor of protecting the nation after 9-11. now seem to be really not interested in looking at the facts, but really just looking for a way, frankly, to cast blame and say things that aren't true about those brave men and women. >> they haven't met any al-qaeda operatives and the guys they stared in the eyes went to the justice department and pitched what he'd like to do and got the okay from everybody before he went ahead and did it. meanwhile, senator king,ç he calls himself independent, he caucuses with the democrats. he had this to say about vice president cheney. he was very upset that former vice president cheney was pleased that they did water boarding. >> frankly, i was stunned to hear that quote from vice president cheney just now. if he doesn't think that was torture, i would invite him anywhere in the united states to sit in a waterboard and go through what tho

eventually you run out of other people's money to steal which is equally true of capitalism what margaret thatcher said about socialism is that they're both bankrupt ideologies at the end of the day you see that now with the capitalist rise post socialist britain and you have the advent of now the financialization securitization of every single scintilla of the public domain to the detriment of all and i mean if this guy like actor and others were allowed to merge biotechnology and financialization they'd be taking having people's left long go to war with their right lung and to try to buy out the right lung and replace it with a kidney and have that kidney collateralize to pump the stomach to create the liquidity to do and leverage buyout of the brain and then we're going to dissect the brain and we're going to give it as the income producing bio natural assets to keep the heart pumping so at the end this is a frankenstein monster of basically vivisection gone wall street with parts of human bodies scattered on the tabletop the dr frankenstein getting iffy on all this vivisection and amputation a
