just something of dropping a bombing on moscow and ending the war that way as a matter of fact margaret thatcher said about ronde reagan end of the cold war firing a shot that's precisely what he did by using very sophisticated multifacetting reagan doctrine which included psychological war far economic war far not buying oil and gas, beginning with a arms race and a thing called a strategic defense thirktive which made russians realize they could not win at arm's race and that led to mr. nicole who certainly is one of the important people of this period. of saying okay, let's sit dun and talk about how we can negotiate an end to the cold war at the bargaining table. >> how close did we come to actual hot war during this period? >> it's true there was one pored and that was the cuban missile crisis of late fall of 1962. he had had various offensive missiles not defensely but offensive missiles put in place in cuba. 90 miles away, some of these missiles had had a radio of a thousand or even 1500 miles, they could hit washington, d.c., new york city, and so forth. this was a serious bringing about

long generations of men. [ applause ] >> in more recent years we have received in joint session margaret thatcher. >> mr. speaker, mr. president, governor allen, members of the general assembly. thank you for that splendid reception. it is one one rarely receives in one's own country. [ laughter ] >> who, of course, was the first female prime minister of the united kingdom. and just a few years ago, to mark the 400th anniversary of english settlement in north america, her majesty the queen of great britain was here and gave a very well received speech to a packed chamber. when you look up, you see the original 1906 oval skylight. you also see the use of dutch metal paint that gives you all the gold gilding effects, at a more affordable price. and you see the use of what's known as tromp dloil. these are actually flat wall surfaces that have been carefully painted. you see in the house a sort of navy blue and gold color scheme reflected throughout this chamber. the senate of virginia, in the opposite wing, has similar decorations but they distinguish themselves with the burgundy and gold color sch

were sent said last year for example they all relate to nine hundred eighty seven that was when margaret thatcher was prime minister because they're the documents that would have been thirty years old and would have been made public but they related to things like sales to india and to saudi arabia they also related to a visit to the middle east made by prince charles and princess diana and campaigners for transparency and say that they're concerned about this that there is still a culture of opacity within many government departments they say and it is something that doesn't necessarily have to relate to old documents a lot of our viewers will recall that just a couple of weeks ago the home secretary here. she withheld a report about the funding of terrorism take a listen to how she explained that at the time. i have decided against publishing the classified report produced during the review in full this is because of the volume of personal information it contains and for national security reasons. now that report really angered a lot of opposition politicians hey or rather that withheld report

it really started in the 80s when margaret thatcher promoted britain as the gateway into the europeanapan bought that. there is a long history of japanese companies coming bought that. there is a long history ofjapanese companies coming to this country, setting up shop and then doing business with the rest of the continent. and now that bridge is likely to be removed. you talk about that gateway to europe. we should say these are very early—stage talks because, as sally pointed out, nothing can be done and no deal can be put in place until the uk has left the european union. how will that affect the issues they will encounter in these very early—stage talks? i guess mrs may work like to get some kind of undertaking from the japanese government that they will do their best to not... to keep japanese companies here, and there is so much a government can do to control a private compa ny‘s behaviour. she is sunny petite tight rope to tread. —— she is on a pretty tight rope to tread. she has the domestic political audience to satisfy in the meantime. she needs to make sure that she isn't s

have an interesting list of people that you made that you think of fighting the same fight with margaret thatcher, madonna tucker carlton donald trump what do they have in common? that they all believe fervently / did in the '90s the bench to the religious right from the progressive left because over here is a visitor from europe. identified the threat to free expression in free-speech the delight their party crumpling beneath them and if you tell somebody these people do not represent i of the year to years or year-and-a-half in the of the leaf of the book they are villains so what is uncommon with the natural disposition to protect the establishment. and oleg the fact that clearly the of trump does not read but then again neither did reagan. but his instinct was scrapers -- great. but there are people who do read. with that persona there the same person will take you some thought will go into marilyn manson creation so more they make those inroads madonna is a brilliant business woman even though she justin -- things in herself and of this to hubris stick. in her videos were created that they w

and robin simcox, he's a tear in national security analyst at the heritage foundation, margaret thatcher center for freedom. thank you both for joining us. in conor powell's report are just there, he heard them discussing more than 30 countries impacted by this terror attack. the importance of global effort to get behind stopping it. paul, what we need to do? >> we need to do what we are not doing and theresa may is right. that is to treat this as a generational war, internal to our society, are people who hate our freedom, the hate that we live differently than we do, they take advantage of our freedom, they take advantage of the way we live, they go to the lowest level side of life which of people walking around in public places and a stamp and they shoot and they drive cars into them. the only way to do it that is human intelligence. there's only what to do it that is to find out on the ground, the way the israelis do this, and it went it that has caused them the free life they want to live. we don't want to change who we are. >> heather: robin, at this point, this appears to be, what

and that sense margaret thatcher is churchill's natural heir. the daughter of a grocer from the country side. she experiences a lot of class sort of snobbery, her own life as she grows up, and one thing she does upon becoming prime minister is restore the war rooms where churchill fought world war ii and she guess to czechoslovakia and giving a beach apologizing for hoe the british gave heck slovakia to hitler. >> host: nick you discovered that churchill or whorl that surprise -- or orwell that described you. >> guest: a lot surprises me. you write a book because you're trying to ask questions or answer a question, figure things out. the first thing that surprised me is that these two men are so human. they are both failures for most of their lives. they fail in most of the thing they do for most of their lives. orwell, as we said earlier, is an unknown author and not very successful until the last couple of years of his life, and when he dies at age 46. churchill is a failure for much of his life. he has an awful father, unhappy youth. he's des

margaret thatcher said, win the argument then you will go out and get the vote. liz: i'm not sure people remember what the democrat new brands logo is, call a better deal. quite forgettable. chuck schumer has a statement on tax reform in response, watch he di defies years and decades, saying that democrat tax reform is clear, we believe not 1 pen ge to top 1%, when republican figure out what they want to do we would be happy to work with them, if they can agree on these supported brings pehls, w -- princ principles. what happen snd. happened? >> that is why democrats are not thriving, they are antibusiness, a don't believe in the small businessman, they immediately turn it to class warfare, that just smells like politics, it should be helping average family, workers, business owners organizations make america more whic competitive, which is one of driving reasons why we have a president trump. american public believes hig he knows business. and he will be able to sell it, but i don't see him going across country laying out the foundation for tax reform, he is goi

as i look at somebody like angela merkel, she reminds me a great deal of margaret thatcher in many ways might be remembered. do you think that is going to be around immigration and her role as the one that did the right thing for europe? wolfgang: the rest of europe hasn't really, in regards to immigration, has it? the refugeethink crisis and immigration is ,omething which came to europe not that you wouldn't have seen it coming given the globalization and its effects and the stability and her way of tackling it is a courageous, ambitious. europe will have to rally behind it and find a solution. the more time we have to get to a solution, the better. having her in office for much longer would clearly help us getting there and building this consensus. there is much to be done in europe on various levels, policies, issues, topics. this could be a great additional to build europe further, which is necessary coming given what we are seeing on a global scale. matt: i have to ask you about sebastian. it almost has a populist feel, this campaign. what are his biggest challenges as the next aus

in 1981 president reagan fired the air traffic controllers and many times entertained margaret thatcherds of state while on vacation in california. warm springs, georgia, near where i live in savannah, franklin roosevelt made huge decisions down there allegedly on vacation. he actually created what was called the little white house. presidents change venues and do not go on vacations. >> they are working 24/7. we know that job. it really -- it never lets up. >> i'll bet you michael did when he was mayor. >> i bet you it was that way when you were mayor. >> i don't own a golf course. but this is not about -- this is not about whether they're working or not. >> i'm not a rich democrat -- >> you guys continue to work on those comments too. right when we go to break because we've got to take a short break for now. we've got much more in the "newsroom" right after this. here's this week's start small, think big, with a look at a memphis business making old jeans new again. ♪ >> what makes us different from your typical blue jean company is that we are recycling denim. they're either donated

name that you list that you actually -- you know think of as fighting the same fight you have margaret thatcherucker carlson. rule paul giuliana assange what do these people have in common? >> i think what these people have in common is they all believe in free are speech and free expression. now if i had been doing what i do in the 90s, i think i would have been doing the same -- to the religious right that i am today to the progressive left. because i've come over here as a visitor is from europe and socially conservative fine, but i would have come over and a probably fiscally conservative but i've come over here and identified what i believe are are threats to free expression, free speech. and i've done that by -- saying outrage os stuff and watching to see who gets upset. and although publishment of republicans don't like me because they don't like the site of their party crumbling from beneath them they did that by ignoring voters by, you know, i mean, if you hear some of the stuff bill kristol say when is he thinks nobody is listening and tweets and you tell that to somebody working in a

we are probably the largest asian investor in this country and it all started when margaret thatcherehead into the european market. the japanese companies bought that and came in great numbers. there will be much talk here this week of the strength and depth of anglo—japanese ties. but if britain is heading for a hard brexit, those ties are going to be put under severe strain. rupert wingfield hayes, bbc news, in tokyo. earlier i spoke to the director at the brussels think tank european centre for international political economy. he's a former diplomat and trade specialist. i began by asking if there is concern amongst japanese companies who invested the uk. this is one of the prime comparative advantages of the uk, it is a bridgehead for the japanese banks and japanese manufacturing industry. it gives access to the supply chains in the single market, provides a sta ble in the single market, provides a stable economy and very competitive economy to invest in. as far as the japanese companies are concerned, i think many of them did invest in the 80s, strictly on the grounds that the u

you've got margaret thatcher, madonna, tucker carlson, rupaul, julie on assange, donald trump.what do these people have in common? >> i think with these people have in common is that they all believe fervently and free speech and free expression. if i'd been doing what i do in the '90s, i think i would have been doing the same to the religious right that i am today to the progressive left. i've come over as a visit from your and i am socially conservative, fine, but i would've come, fiscally conservative but i've come over here and i've identified what i believe are the threats to free expression, free speech. i've done that by saying some outrageous stuff and watching to see who gets upset. although establishment republicans don't like me because they don't like the site of the party crumbling from beneath them, they did that to themselves by ignoring their own voters, i mean, if you're some of the stuff bill kristol says when he thinks nobody's listening, some of the stuff he tweets and did you tell it to somebody who works in a factory in wisconsin or wherever, these people

we are probably the largest asian investor in this country and it all started when margaret thatcher. the japanese companies bought that and came in great numbers. there will be much talk here this week of the strength and depth of anglo—japanese ties. but if britain is heading for a hard brexit, those ties are going to be put under severe strain. rupert wingfield hayes, bbc news, in tokyo. we've been hearing more about those discussions between theresa may and shinzo abe. it looks like the international security situation has very much dominated the first day of discussions, the first of theresa may's visit, because of the circumstances in which she arrived. we are told the discussions between theresa may and shinzo abe have very much focused on security in north korea and have touched on brexit. primarily the prime minister has told mr abe the uk stands shoulder told mr abe the uk stands shoulder to shoulder with japan in the face of the north korean aggression. they also discussed the importance of the show of unity from the un security council, about this international situation.

also served as moderator on "face the nation" where she interviewed margaret thatcher, bor bor boris yeltsen. she has awards for interviews and reporting including a lifetime achievement emmy, her latest book is "become a grandma." as always, i'd like to ask you before our speakers begin to please make sure that anything that makes a noise, like a cell phone, is switched off. and now please do join me in welcoming our speakers this evening. [ applause ] >> i'm going to start by putting on the coolest pair of glasses you have ever seen. so, when this topic was chosen quite a while ago, everybody, i mean everybody, was 100% sure that we were going to have the first woman president. first grandma president. so in a way tonight is kind of a consolation prize because we're going to be talking about powerful women who are close to the pinnacle. almost there. but for those of us who like to read about the presidency, and i think the whole panel loves that and you all probably do as well, we know that first ladies can wield an awful lot of power themselves. some are quite open about it. some

the reason they love ronald reagan -- ronald reagan along with margaret thatcher and pope january paul and helmut kohl stood up to the soviet union, called it the evil empire. there are literally tens of millions of people from the adriatic to the baltic sea tasting liberty because of ronald reagan. the folks that were behind that iron curtain appreciated that and put up a monument to it. i got to represent the young americas foundation speaking at that dedication of a beautiful monument in a prominent place. and the interesting thing not only as a great likeness of ronald reagan is ronald reagan's got the clenched jaw, optimistic eyes but he's looking to where the capital is. i said there he's looking to make sure that with this freedom you use it wisely to improve opportunities for the people in bulgaria. that's what i'd like to talk about here in this speech today, is kind of a report card on this historic opportunity we have for conservative action. this conference is one really at a great time, because the opportunity for conservative action in washington really has never been bet

ronald reagan, along with margaret thatcher, stood up to the soviet union, called it the evil empire. by that strong unified resolve led by ronald reagan, ultimately the iron curtain and the berlin wall did fall. there is tens of millions of people from the agree yatic to the baltic sea that are tasting that sweet nectar of liberty because of ronald reagan's leadership and the folks in bulgaria who were behind that iron curtain associated that and put up a monument to it, and i got to represent the young america's foundation speaking at that dedication of a beautiful monument in a prominent place and the interesting thing, not only is it a great likeness of ronald reagan, is ronald reagan had the clinched jaw, optimistic ey eyes, but he's looking to where the capital is. i said he's looking to make sure that with this freedom you use it wisely, to improve opportunities for the people. that's what i'd like to talk about here in this speech today, is kind of a report card on this historic opportunity we have for a conservative action. this conference is one really at a great time becaus

as margaret thatcher eventually said, the problem with socialism sooner or later you run out of people's money and that's what they are learning there. dagen: the wall street journal editorial page was advocating tougher sanctions in terms of targeting the nation's oil, state-own and run company, exported to refineries along the gulf coast. >> i understand what the wall street journal wants to do and colleagues and i happen to agree with but sanctions hurt the people that you don't want to hurt and the elite, ruling class manages to evade them, how much has effective had for castro brothers that lasted 50 years? kevin: we are having problems with north korea, we are having problems with the middle east. who can step in here? >> no push from anybody in the republican party or the trump administration as i can dye tect it for military action in venezuela because this is not a direct immediate threat to the united states unlike crazy person in north korea who is a direct threat to the u.s., venezuela is not. maria: long-time seventh circuit judge richard suggested that the supreme court her

. >> reporter: margaret thatcher said it was a bad idea. neil: thanks, man. >>> we got to go.. i accept i don't bike as far as i used to. i even accept i have a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. but no matter where i ride, i go for my best. so if there's something better than warfarin, i'll go for that too. eliquis. eliquis reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin, plus had less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis had both. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... ...and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i'm st

in creating the internal market, which was also a british idea, and promoted very strongly by margaret thatcherivorce, which is actually what we are negotiating now, according to article 50 and the treaty. that's where we have the two—year deadline. but if you want to avoid the so—called cliff edge, we will have to come by the end of the two—year deadline, have to look again to the future. is there a danger companies will start to actually decide their contingency planning has to go ahead by the end of this year potentially if they don't know what the shape of brexit will be? it could be. what really affects danish companies in the united kingdom is all the uncertainty which came after the brexit referendum. as long as this uncertainty is continuing, the more difficult it is for them to make long—term investments and plans. that's the uncertainty that is primarily hampering. but we have been here for 1000 years in different kinds of ways. we will a lwa ys different kinds of ways. we will always trade in the future. betis. no under which conditions. how helpful are you that the shape of it will

somebody has got to pay for it and as margaret thatcher said the problem with socialism is at some pointogram is and even sustainable with the current population. do you take a whole segment, 55 to 65 that are paying into medicare, make the recipients of the medicare subsidy, doesn't work. the math doesn't work. the other problem is it would wreak havoc in the rest of the insurance system, the rest of us with commercial insurance are subsidizing medicare because it is not paying its bills, pays $.80 on the dollar. it will drive up commercial insurance for the rest of us and it is a monopoly. why do we want another monopoly? judge napolitano: you are right on all counts and make good economic sense but you are forgetting politics. i think there is a majority in this country, a majority of voters who wants to go down the single-payer road. i say that because you couldn't even get 50 republicans to rein in the growth rate of medicaid. they are representing voters who want a subsidy for all kinds of people in their health care. the political tides are against you. they are for single-payer.

there was one area margaret thatcher would not touch. that was a good health care services. >> republican might be learning that lesson right now. still ahead, we've got a lot of talk about. democrats have some high hurdles of their own. there is absolutely no margin of error to win back control of washington. i'm going to ask the panel if they and republican con coil will get in on the conversations as well. looking forward to watching "morning joe." we'll be right back. at ally, we're doing digital financial services right. but if that's not enough, we have 7500 allys looking out for one thing, you. call in the next ten minutes to save on... and if that's not enough, we'll look after your every dollar. put down the phone. and if that's not enough, we'll look after your every cent. grab your wallet. access denied. and if that's still not enough to help you save... ooo i need these! we'll just bring out the snowplow. you don't need those! we'll do anything, seriously anything, to help our customers. thanks. ally. do it right. >> announce

tree into what is it that margaret thatcher said? don't stand there in the middle of the road because you're going to get hit. and mitch mcconnell wanted to have his cake and eat it too. he sort of begrudgingly accepted donald trump is president and i think that is hurting him a lot. like i said, one way or the other on this with all the wishy-washy stuff, it leads you in no man's land. >> that is right. this is definitely a lead, follow or get out of the way moment for leader mcconnell. i actually agree with robin that the biggest threat to terms policy agenda is mitch mcconnell's political agenda. he's very much an old-school politics first, last and always operator. it's a complete lack of leadership focused more on what are the political angles and how do i hold onto power for the longest amount of time as opposed to shifting in recognizing this is a different kind of pregnancy. american people are in a different place. that is where again what the president did today in terms of the call to unity was spot on. if we don't get the
