. >> steve: boris johnson said 74 convicted terrorists have been released early.eating these terrorists as if they are criminals. shouldn't terrorists be treated differently because they are ideological and it's hard to rehabilitate them and they should never be released early? >> yeah. the argument is that what they are trying to do in the u.k. is deradicallize them and then give them the ability to get out halfway through their release, which is what they are claiming was the reason why he was able to hit the street and carry out another terror attack. the problem with that argument is you have non-terror experts now conducting and passing laws on terrorism and so what happens is these prosecutors and these lawmakers who are coming obviously from the opposite opposed side of view here think that comparing them to criminals is really the only solution when in fact it's very different. you cannot deradicallize a culture that has gone through such a phenomenon where have you extremists willing to kill themselves. steve: okay. >> it's a dangerous way to frame this t

steve, this idea of levelling up, one—nation conservative johnson, conciliation and restoring trust,t is the other part of his agenda that he now has the freedom of a large majority to accomplish? freedom to accomplish assumes that he, because of the freedom, will accomplish it. it is difficult. there is no doubt at all that the cameron osborne period of turbo—charged thatcherism, in terms of economic policy, that was a curious period. they proclaimed they were centrists and modernisers and the rest of it, but they were inducing deep real terms spending cuts. to overturn that, by definition, means the real turn spending increases, so where will the money come from? they have pledged not to put up taxes, so it will be dependent on economic, but economic growth will be sluggish because of brexit. we will not have any money to bet. so you can be tonally warm, and he has been tonally emollient, as you are when you have won big victories, but the challenges of delivering for some of those who have voted conservative this time are immense, unless you break with all the economic orthodoxy i

steve. >> hey, thanks, i guess one thing people kind of forget, can johnson over they're sitting on the democratic side that the island was guam would tip over if we put too many soldiers there, yet were supposed to think he is a rocket scientist when it comes to constitutional law, it is infuriating to see what the democratic party has become, just stripping away peoples vote. you know, people forget there was a democratic process that involved getting trump into office and they have spent the last several years trying to get him out. twisting words, again, we hear, to get dirt on my opponent, that is not what he said. he did not say it at all. you hear, bring the founding fathers into the equation but there is your substance behind what they say and it is the most frustrating thing to watch. >> what is it like to be a republican in new york city? >> it's frustrating in itself. we live in an age where there is one side that can freely speak their mind, they can really say whatever they want and then there is another side to cannot. you know, you are painted as someone who is a racist, a bigot, an

chairman, so what struck me about this, steve, was you know, how wrong everybody was in handicapping this race, how wrong the polls were, they didn't think that boris johnsonnd of a blowout , and it reminds me that there are, you still can't, people don't feel safe voicing their opinion about supporting certain candidates in certain positions. you don't actually know until the votes are counted, where people really stand. what do you think am i right or wrong? >> you're right. it wasn't until election eve that the polls really started to show something was going to happen big but the polls were wrong in britain in 2016. they're wrong in 2015 when the conservatives won an election by far larger margin than the polls have indicated, 2016 they had brexit losing and it actually won, so people aren't willing to tell polsters what they actually think these days, and a couple things are remarkable about that election. one is how well boris johnson did among working class britain's they switched from a labor party to the conservative party and the other thing is, the massive reyou'd equation of labor leader jeremy corbyn, people were really turned off not only by

johnson on thursday. he seems to be uniting a lot of analysts. mike bloomberg says he's for coal mine and democrats. james karbal says, you can go so left, and steven picks up on that. trump is headed for a reagan-like '84 victory. ruth marcus, if they agree, does that mean it's right or wrong? >> that's an interesting question. look. we all have a tendency to over-interpret the impact of midterm elections, all year elections and certainly elections in other countries which have different politics and different political systems than ours. that said, that lesson of that election which i'm going to now over-interpret having warned against it, is not good news for democrats and it should be particularly chilling for people who are thinking about the possibility of a sanders nomination because that -- i'm not sure we're going to get to reagan landslide territory, but i think it would be a challenge for democrats. >> and patrick, what did we see from democratic voters this year? elizabeth warren and bernie sanders take about 43% of the vote, sometimes whenever one of them rises too high, they seem to hit a wall. >> let's talk about that boom and bust
