and of course, maggie thatcher.ey're great is because they achieved something and you only achieve something by disappointing others who don't want things changed. >> the best part of british politics is parliament and seeing them argue a little bit. let's roll a little bit of that. >>. structural reforms to make us competitive and fuas pof using our hard-won credibility which we wouldn't have if we listened to the puttering idiots sitting opposite me. >> hold it! order! order! i'm very worried about the health of the health minister who is so overexcited he might suffer a relapse and i'm a compassionate chap. i don't want that to happen. >> they're having so much fun? >> why do you gugs do things like that? >> i'm in the house of lords. much nicer about it. we do it gently and -- look. politics is about passion. it's about things that you believe in fundamentally and about changing the world. it is about disagreeing vehemently with your opponents. you're not going to get a nice, gentle, quiet system that gets every

thatcher was one of those figures in british life who immediately became an iconic figure.once you died in new as someone that people argue about for decades to come and i am nearly 40 but they're few people people in my lifetime in britain who have that iconic status. i mention churchill. he died 50 years ago. this was before my time than thatcher for my generation with my generation what do you love her loads to her was a i'm very interested in her leadership style. not just that she was a woman and she had a nonconformist methodist background, she had a lot of imagery which she used, she was almost like a sort of preacher in terms of her style. >> host: she was a big inspiration to you. >> guest: she was. she was an inspiration. she became prime minister when i i was four years old so i don't remember that. the day she left i was probably 15 and a half so that was a very long time for she was the dominant figure in british politics. a whole decade where she was prime minister and i liked her style of politics. i like conventional politics. i like the fact that she stuck

in order to become the first woman prime minister of great britain, margaret thatcher had to be the iron thatcher's rise, gol golda -- hillary is once again signaling that same sort of toughness, and that will be critical to get past the bias as women as leaders, it's helpful to have traits that cut across the stereotype. to have a toughness that blunts preconceptions about women. we knew she was tough in '08 but you can't be too tough if you want to shatter the glass ceiling. you can't be nice like me, krystal. it could be that the viciousness of the attacks on her help create the crewsible that proves she's ready. if she's roaring back and going to fox about it, that tells me one more thing. oh, yeah, she's running.

margaret thatcher before him has done the same thing. yes a defeat, but he heals he has made his point, and he said he will work with jean-claude juncker when he has to. the case has been made. he will just have to deal with it. >> the other big topic of the day, chancellor angela merkel had a warning for russia that they better back ukraine's peace plan. >> she did. after the signing of the peace plan, which remember russia managed to block last year, and now the european union has managed to get a ukrainian signature on a deal. she was quite striking in her press conference saying that there is now an ultimatum. moscow has been warned that by monday, it must have made significant progress toward establishing a lasting peace in eastern ukraine. the threat is that there will be more sanctions against russia if there is no sign moscow is helping to forge a new piece. that will not be taken well by president putin, who is not best pleased, of course, that today, the new ukrainian president did sign a free-trade agreement with the european

believe that reagan's defense buildup and his fight against communism alongside margaret thatcher and john paul ii were some sort of inevitable triumph of consensus policies. were resistedies every step of the way. and, just as steps that we need to take today are and will be resisted. i also think the effort of heritage to look back a century at world war i is good and needed harley to prevent the sort of amnesia that i just mentioned, and partly because there seems to be an inevitable tendency to abuse history for current political ends, even recent history. r in one of two ways. either we try to shoehorn the current problem into some sort , and thereby make the outcome inevitable, or we tend to forget the lessons of history warningeby fulfill the i repeating the mistakes of the past. no result is inevitable. we are wise, we can learn the lessons of history and take the principles of history and apply them to the circumstances of today. my bottomhortcut to line, it is that peace through strength is one of those principles that we can and refreshed, and apply over and over again. ask

we do not see -- look, if i may be margaret thatcher, people who had a profound vision, obama could be said to have believed in things. >> what about this money issue, that she says, well, you know, i'm not as rich as a lot of other people, you know. she's kind of poor mouthing. is that something that is going to stick long, some people are calling it a mitt romney problem. do you agree with that? >> no. i think those things are of the moment and they pass. but i have a feeling ironically enough she was being at her most rare and natural. this is the kind of thing you can imagine her actually saying in her own house and among her friends. unfortunately she picked the wrong thing to be natural about. >> what about this idea that some of her defenders say she was called testy, contentious in a couple of her answers to the press on this book tour. and they said, you can't say that about a woman. that's unfair. you'd never say that about a man. >> it's really wonderful. it's a terrible preview of something much more serious, which is we are in for a big swath of exactly what we went throug

popular as ronnie reagan was after the little war of the grenada invasion and before that maggie thatcher was after her little war in the fall can all. the chaos that we're seeing now is the direct result of twenty plus years of american meddling in what was once one of the jewels of the arab world to paraphrase colin powells pottery barn rule we broke it and then we tried to own it but a far better metaphor is probably the one that thomas jefferson invented to describe slavery in the eight hundred twenty s. he said we have a wolf by the ears and we can either hold him or safely let him go and in slavery in america letting that wolf go meant a bitter civil war the bloodiest american history now we have to figure out how to let the world of iraq go and frankly no good options joining me now for more on this is mike pap until america's lawyer and host of ring of fire radio path welcome back from our fine have based on everything we've seen over the last few days in iraq should people like you and i hope pose this war from the start feel vindicated and and should the neo cons and the republi

george herbert walker bush decided he needed to have a little war just like reagan and maggie thatcher did whatever you think about saddam the truth is that our ambassador to iraq april glaspie pretty much gave him the green light to invade kuwait in one nine hundred ninety which had been quaid had been slant drilling to steal iraqi oil saddam's takeover of kuwait which used to be part of iraq is the perfect excuse for bush sr to have his little war here in america we think of that little war the persian gulf war as just that a little war after all as president bush is always proud to say former president first president bush it lasted exactly one hundred hours but for iraqis the war never really ended kept on going after combat ended the u.s. slapped iraq with harsh sanctions to prevent them from making chemical weapons those sanctions which included him an embargo on chlorine a chemical used to purify water and up killing after a million iraqi children and millions of iraqi adults meanwhile clinton continue to bomb iraq and keep the embargo in place throughout the ninety's so when bu

a guy who is now actually dead called david hart he was a remarkable character was close to lady thatcher at one time. he was writing papers that were going to straight to tony blair. and this was in the. this was in the run up to the iraq invasion so i guess this was in two thousand and two before the decisions had really been made and he needed help to write these papers because he himself had no military. so i said to him well why do you want to have what you want what you want me to help you get in loads of people who can help you he said oh well you know you were in the s.a.'s and i said to david you know there are one hundred people within a mile of here we were having lunch and in the ritz actually i said there are a hundred people in a mother who were also in the s.s. no better qualified than me and he said ah but they haven't fortune one to private true private. in sierra leone. so i did help him and i helped him by writing papers of my own which he then used in his papers as to how. they were fools of the iraq war can i ask you something would you if you were right now offered a

. >> the president got on a plane and flew to aspen, colorado, to meet with margaret thatcher. that session with the two of them. and mrs. thatcher said i believe saddam hussein is going on into saudi arabia, that he is not gong to stop at kuwait. he wants the oil fields and it's going to be one country after the other. and president bush said i agree, and i think he must be stopped. he said let's go around the world and see who's with us and who's against us. >> one of the extraordinary things about george bush is when he became president, he knew most of the other leaders around the world. >> it's only with friends that you can take off the gloves and talk with the heart. >> and he cultivated those friendships. they weren't just akwapt tanss for him. >> he was absolutely the pion r pioneer. his capacity more than anyone i knew simply to pick up the phone and talk to people, there suddenly out of blue was a leader of the free world. >> he called when there was no purpose to the call. when he wasn't asking for anything. and well before the gulf war, he built a web of relationsh

required that all countries adopt a particular model of capitalism with clinton ain't reagan and thatcher and blair's britain. would you have deregulation of finance. most forms of pro-industry support would be delegitimized including tariffs and most radical of all, you would have regulatory harmonization among countries and that really digs deeply into basic domestic, economic, policy sovereignty if your rules how you treat your workers, treat the environment, consumer safety regulations are removed from national parliaments and transferred to an international legal regime. but that was the consensus in the united states until recently and i think among foreign policy leaders in both parties that remains the consensus. now in practice the washington consensus was observed more by the u.s. a few other countries including britain than bit other leading industrial economies and america's major allies, japan and germany, particularly japan which like south korea and taiwan and other american protector@s in east asia have a ruthless version of mercantilism and industry promotion in the expen

. >> host: talk about that break-in thatcher era to put things into a simpler manner.ow we have a system currency that is untethered. but then to comprehend so the average american, how do we get back to what people can understand? . . balanced budget budgets was mae britain and america very powerful countries over the time in which they held to a global affairs, so i think that it is very timely and important and i asked one or two people about this. i tend to have as a conservative politician i tend to be more hawkish on public spending and perhaps some of my other colleagues but this is certainly something that has been talked about. >> so, broadly speaking in the terms of the public debate is that a growth versus asperity? is that a useful way of looking at it? >> guest: the argumen >> guest: the argument about growth which was first a new argument in the context of -- 30 years and then we have to 60s when people started saying it was sort of lyndon johnson, jfk towards the end of his brief tragic tenure. we will get more growth and be able to balance the budget. w

you could see that in thatcher when the call came down. they did a good job of unifying and being a wonderful country. it is close to russia. you don't understand the constraints upon germany until i saw the thickness of the wall. you cannot understand germany until you see russia. same with scandnavian. like who they are up against. i think they are optimal sich situated to be a broker. they have a lot of wisdom and historical memory and just a very important, interesting country in which we should place or faith. >> host: >> host: how many generations before they lose that title of being the former nazi? >> guest: we are about there. maybe another half generation. in germany there was a hyper inflation more than 90 years ago. they were that. and that is one reason germany wasn't the country to have the euro crisis, greece was. some things people remember more than one generation. i think that is one of them. and you go. so it is important, you know, you see many germans -- it wasn't the way it was 15 years ago when they would dare say ma

surge in europe in which means for our country, the treasur treasurer of the hee foundation margaret thatcherr freedom and former aide. good to have you with us. i haven't seen a lot of coverage of the surge with the establishment would say the scourge, what do you make of it? >> it is great to be here, thank you for having me on the show. we are seeing a significant rise in opposition to what is known in europe as the european project, this idea some sort of european superstate. i think david cameron's words cap for the views of millions of people in britain, tens of play as a people across europe who are growing sick and tired with the rise in europe. the eu has to come frankly riddled with bureaucracy, riddled with corruption, it is an entity. u: say it, socialism. >> that is right. the european union frankly is beginning to crumble because large numbers of people in europe have had enough of this sort of pictorial style of government emanating from brussels. this group of often issuing dictators to all the european union. there is frankly a fundamental lack of democracy and accountability

thatcher's reaction when the wall came down. well i don't know. germany did a pretty good job of unifying and being a wonderful country. and it's a leader in europe and it's close to russia. you don't understand the constraints. i never did until i saw the kremlin wall. you can't understand at germany at all and to let you see russia and you can't understand scandinavia until you see russia and no what they are up against and who might march in any day. there is no obstacle they just march along for a day or two from the east that is. so i think they are often only situated to the broker. they have a lot of historical memory and just a very important and interesting country in which we should place our faith. >> host: how many generations before they lose that? >> guest: you think about the hyperinflation in germany there was a hyperinflation where your money -- >> guest: that was almost 100 years ago, 90 years ago. they remember that. and that is one reason that germany wasn't the country to have the crisis. greece was. they remember that. some t

margaret thatcher and her economic policies were an important precursor to ronald reagan. -- went against the neoliberal consensus. helmut kohl took the lead on german unification. he was ronald reagan's closest ally. and, on this occasion, or after this weekend, one has to consider the importance of john paul ii. he was the foremost anti-communist. he sustained the hope of the solidarity movement in poland. i also write about the decisions in the late 1970's to move away from the communist model. let me tie it back to the opening. this notion of the national security advisor in 1979 being woken up in the middle of the night, saying that the missiles are coming. i think that one needs to have some kind of perspective on what is going on now. the cold war generation grew up with the specter of a nuclear war. for me, this is a personal project. i am very lucky. people of my generation who came -- were 16 in the 1990's, have no real memory of having to face existential angst. it is a wonderful thing, no matter what we say here. the importance of the forum of the national history center featu

india under its new premier modhi, to read the western press you would think he's like margaret thatcher, ronald rea n reagan. in fact, india will continue to more statist and nationalist in its areas. finally there's the possibility of anti-american balancing something which proponents of the hegemony strategy had dismissed a decade or two ago, but with increasingly close alignment of russia and china, and even india whose premier was blacklisted as a supporter of anti-muslim riots and has vowed that he will not set foot in the u.s. except to attend the united nations. you do have the major population centers of the old world, the two biggest countries, china and india, in terms of population, in the largest country, in terms of geography, russia, alienated from the united states. and it's very difficult to see american hegemony surviving that. finally two other factors, inadequate resources, including to projections of the results of the budget guest they're was recently agreed upon in congress, u.s. defense spend willing go down to more than slightly more than 2% of gdp in the 2020s,

when reagan met with thatcher and said my great dream is to abolish all nuclear weapons, she said, areyou crazy? what do you think's keeping us from world war iii? that everyone has these nuclear weapons. so one of the great conundrums is should ed teller and the other creators of the atomic weapon get the nobel peace prize for keeping us at peace with their atomic weapons. many people think that's true. but i don't want to leave you on this terribly sad story. remember when we first got together we talked about marie curie's boyfriend and all that fun stuff? remember what i told you about how los alamos was the name of that tree that they named the canyon after? well, in fact, where i grew up in texas we also had an alamo which was a church also named for that tree. and last week on the radio someone asked he what was your first childhood memory. and i remembered that when i was a very little boy, we used to have these very strange dreams about thal hoe where i was helping -- the alamo where i was helping people escape their doom, but it was sort of this spiritual thing going on. it w

margaret thatcher said, eventually you run out of other people's money, and you're broke. a true free-market system does not fail. a free-market system fails when it becomes more and more and more ocialist is, government-controlled, less reward for one's own work, more reward for not working at all. that brings down a nation under the rules of socialism, because it cannot stand. not in this life. it cannot. and yet, this congress, though we are republican-controlled in the house, is continuing to fail to stand strongly enough to protect future generations and it's heartbreaking. i got back from being in nigeria or a couple of days. there are mothers with whom i girls. ng minor the girls, three of them were taken into captivity by boko haram, radical islamic group, and they were able to escape. only a handful that were able to do that and this was three of those. 22 of the mothers, one mother ad two of her girls kidnapped. it's a threat to moderate muslims because they go to the top of the list to protest than the top of the list. taking over civilization as we know it. the
