The partys first annual gathering while in powerfor 15 years comes amid criticism over donations and gifts accepted by some of the new cabinet and calls from Union Bosses for The Party to U Turn on its decision to cut winterfuel payments for pensioners. Let us go live now to liverpool and our political correspondent for the latest. For the latest. Here in liverpool, for the latest. Here in liverpool, really for the latest. Here in i liverpool, really starting for the latest. Here in liverpool, really starting to fill up, activists arriving, you can see them in the background, as we get towards the first formal bet of the conference, a speech later this morning by Angela Rayner, deputy Prime Minister. I have another Cabinet Minister with me to chat to, joe steven, Secretary Of State for wales. I sho
version of the bush administration. we re going to get into that with mollie hemingway and charlie hurt. but for decades we ve seen members of both parties attack at the core of the america-first agenda. i inherited a nation that had a serious loss of credibility around the world as america first. we ve seen nationalism distorted into nativeism. unrestrained nationalism is the last refuge of those who cannot or will not deliver real progress and opportunity for their own people at home. laura: well, that old regime is gone, and i don t think it s ever coming back, certainly not in the republican party. and now we have some new opportunities and candidates with actual back bones. we know donald trump has one. his anti war record is well-documented. and ron desantis, well, we re going to see more about what he believes on all the issues that we care about as his campaign goes forward. but both have pretty much shown us that their desire is to put america first, american
the average snap benefit, by the way, is $6 per person per day. that s who republicans are. they would rather cut that or eliminate it and take food out of the mouths of kids in order to make a political point. laura: yeah. they care about all those kids who aren t aborted. now all of this can end, of course, in november 2024. the primary battle between trump and desantis is going to be brutal. we already see kind of what s happening. but as the old saying goes, look, no pain, no gain. we re going to emerge stronger as both candidates work harder i think to lay out their vision for the country, and to convince everyone that it s just not all talk. trump has a record of success on a lot of these big foreign policy issues, desantis has a record of success in the way he handled his state. but both of them seem to have really good ideas and early on, at least, plans to implement
concern republicans should have because there s such a democratic centric media out there, so much of it and so many people rely on social media that there will have to be a need to educate people because people do feel it in their pocketbook but things like the border, for example, you would be surprised in an unaided pole where you don t tell them what the ires, some people don t eastbound see the border, they need to see them streaming across one way or the other for people to really get set to believe they need to make a change and who s running the white house no matter how bad biden s numbers are right now. byron we always talk about the impact of short declarative clear ads and outreach to voters to mass point. how many ads, for instance, last campaign season. do any of you will us really remember? there s certainly no morning in america style ad. no. laura: no real ad that kind of stays with you and yet people
high school voice is soy diminished at this point. and the difference between now and 2020 is people didn t have a full picture of the decline of joe biden. they now have it in tech color. laura: i think the difference raymond i m sorry. the difference i think is they see him and they see their, you know, their standard of living. so his dough kline and then the standard of living going down. and, mark, i mean, at the same time the betting markets, i think most of them have biden winning in 2024. look, our latest poll show trump ahead by 7. look, this is a tough candidacy for joe biden. i m not even sure he ll wind up the nominee. i think everybody s going to wait until july or august and see whether or not he can prove his ratings a bit. i think this budget negotiations may show some life in him if he comes to some, you know, good deal with the republicans and it s a bipartisan deal.
