>> the interaction with joseph stalin is an interesting one. wendell wilkie as a guest of the russians debated the capitalism of the drop of a hat with russians and indeed with stalin, he was indulged i suppose. he said few people you can't be free unless you have the right to say things to your government and what have you. it was an american spiel, however he was impressed that central america had gone in to a depression that russians had not said he was impressed by the scale of the industrial boat and agricultural development mind you and the collective had been brutal, but that he was honest enough to want to appreciate why they thought their experiment was a great value and benefit. in that way he and fdr were much closer in their understanding or misunderstanding of what would be required in world war ii when it ended. it would be possible to work with the russians that the systems so antagonistic were not like antimatter and had wendell wilkie lived it would have been interesting to see a man who had debated stalin and have taken the de

in his memoirs truman's -- said that stalin showed no in -- interest. at this point truman was so unaware of the extensive spy work that the soviet union had in the united states and the soviet union tried to break the us monopoly on the atomic bomb in part through the use of spies. in 1946 there was a defection that let the united states know about the spies. here is alger hess seated at the far right of the screen. he was actually present during pres. truman's address to the united nations in june 1945. his case demonstrated to americans that were there were spies in their own ever met. he was a former state department official that was accused of espionage. in august 1948, whittaker chambers, an editor accused has of having once been a member of the communist cell. chambers himself admitted having been a soviet spy in the 1940s before rejecting communism. has in turn charged chambers with slander. after two widely publicized trials, has was convicted of perjury. the statute of limitations on espionage had expired and he went to jail for 44 months. hi

when they get to tehran, roosevelt is playing churchill and stalin together.gh he was churchill and fans don't take this seriously, he makes some jibes at georgia to get stoned to come out to his attention and churchill texas seriously. this would hurt because they have come a long way to get a taken a lot of risk and he's not sure what's going on. that relationship changes over time. anymore? >> can we get a round of applause?

when truman involved stalin of -- informed stalin of the possession of the atomic bomb that had just been tested earlier, truman was surprised by stalin's passive reaction. thinking perhaps he did not understand the translation. in his memoirs truly wrote stalinrote that showed no special interest. all he said he was got to hear it and hope we would make good use of it against of the japanese." at this point, truman was still unaware of the extensive spy network the soviet union had in place in the united states, and the extent to which the soviet leadership had and regularly provided information about the manhattan project. the soviet union tried to break the monopoly on the atomic bomb in part through the use of spies. in 1946, a file clerk in the soviet embassy in canada defected and provided documented evidence the soviets had spies, and atomic research in canada and the united states. this evidence possibly pointed to a state department official named alger hiss as a soviet spy. here he is at the right, seated at the far right on the screen. actually present during president tru

by 1948, stalin had reneged on yalta. all those governments had been ompromised, democrats, christians had been persecuted, intimidated and the communist party took over every country. from fascism to communism, the future was bleak. by now, this young boy was a man, 18 years old, starting college. he wanted to resist the dictatorship. not with a gun, not with a bomb, but by undermining it politically from the inside. he found a handful of fellow christians, true patriots, and he created an underground students organization that would collect intelligence about what soviets were doing in hungary, the tank movements, the movement of troops, how they were gobbling up the economy to the exported back to russia and they would somehow tear it out that information to the west to a democratic nation that could use that intelligence against moscow and to get these nations to be free. they were successful. they were successful. they found a courier who connected to british intelligence and they were sending these reports, with the

in the west, quite amazing, joseph stalin lives. and by that i also mean a penchant for totalitarian thinking. what does it mean when instead of having a conversation back and forth, people shame, bully out, protest, insult, the talking heads have become attack dogs on short leashes. what is this? this is not how education or an exchange of views especially when you disagree. it's very important to hear something that you don't agree with, you know. so in that sense, it's not just women studies, by the way, anthropology led the way with the multicultural relativism and the belief that all cultures are the same and all behaviors are equal, except the west is worse, worse, right, so maybe that's as far as i will take that question. okay? and so we could come and say hello to me. [applause] >> thank you. thank you. wonderful, wonderful turnout, i'm so grateful and humble. and i see somebody who was in my first group has brought her dog.

you have to be like stalin when he was asked about the pope. he said how many tank divisions does the pope have? the issue is who has the guns, who has the tanks? it is the republican guard. if someone can split elements of the republican guard off, as happened in hungary, anything is possible. persia could rise again, in a good way. there is no it to predict how much that is likely to occur but the regime is in big, big trouble. cnn?an you stop msnbc and with a footnote, besides changing channels?

, and -- kittler stalin, and gadhafi, , is preposterous and even cruel. time and again, history has proven that the only deterrent to evil and atrocity is what franklin roosevelt once called the righteous might of the united states and its allies. a power that perversely could be threatened by the icc's vague definition of aggression crimes. we see paradoxically that the dangers of the international criminal court stem from both its manifest weakness. -- its potential strength and its manifest weakness. fourth, the international criminal court is superfluous given that domestic u.s. judicial systems already hold america citizens to the highest legal and ethical standards. u.s. servicemembers in the field must operate fully in accordance with the laws of armed conflict. when violations of the law do occur, the united states takes appropriate and swift action to hold perpetrators accountable. we are a democratic nation with the most robust system of investigation, accountable ability, and transparency in the world. we believe in the rule of law. and we upho

and turned to stalin. he said mister stalin, show me the man and find me the crime. we don't ever want america to turn that way. crime has to be there for all to see. justice holmes in 1920 something, statute said anybody who transports a vehicle, a motor vehicle in interstate commerce is guilty of a crime. motor vehicle. it was written before airplanes. first guy stole an airplane and transported across state line was prosecuted. he stole a vehicle, it had a motor and he was prosecuted and holmes said no, not clear enough. by motor vehicle at the time it was written. and if congress wants to change that statute. and -- don't be creative. >> you have warned how it is a problematic system to vest so much power in the president get your going out of your way to read in this idea that because the president has certain constitutional powers that places him in a unique position where we cannot read into his motives with all sorts of ordinary -- >> can't be done with senators and congressmen or judges or prosecutors. the constitution gives senators and congressmen immunity

which he repeats it when stalin can't have it shipped him a perfect assist. brace for fall and. finally a reason to celebrate after a catastrophic stuff. just love and goal came in the last minutes following a questionable penalty. proven hennings was on target but it was too little too late in the end slave accuse and send a clear message look out with. its times of sudden all eyes to brain and a little known man is quickly gaining attention florin. the coach that's leaving brennan on the table has been on board since last november when he was bumped up from there is reserves he's only thirty five but he's got a clear cut football philosophy. have courage on the ball and don't worry about losing it we're looking to get up the pitch with a creative passing game but you also have to be ready to drop back quickly. communicator more than happy to take feedback from his players chief among them max crews or provide a school. and now the country's official on field assistant a colorful character cruz was named britain's new captain over the summer the reasoning behind his somewhat un

stalinist nation that may have failed in soviet russia was very alive and well and was quite amazing stalinlives. and by that i mean a pensions -- pond sean for having a conversation that they have the insult of the total -- the talking heads what is this? this is and how education were exchange of views especially when you disagree its importance to hear something you don't agree with. so in that sense it isn't just women's studies but to get that multicultural relativism all behaviors are equal so maybe that is as far as i will take that question. so now you can come and say hello to me. [applause] it was a wonderful wonderful turnout and i am so grateful and humble i see somebody was in my first group brought her dog. [laughter] get a picture of the dog.

books that go into great detail about the dangers of marxism, talk about the history of mao's china, stalin'st union. there's a real political content to your book, and i wonder why you are so preoccupied with reminding your individuals, who you say are searching for meaning, reminding them so repeatedly and so often about the dangers of totalitarian communism. well, i'm not. there's only a section in one of the chapters that actually deals with that, although there are motifs that run through it, but it's more a matter about being concerned with collectivist ideologies in general and the dangers of idealogical thought as a means for guiding yourself through light. one of the failures that characterised the communist totalitarian states and equally on the fascist side, was the failure of individual character. because, for example, in the soviet union, and equally in places like mao's china, people were called upon to falsify their own experience, to lie in the service of the state, to say things they needed to say and not stand up when they should have stood up. i wonder if it's your analysis

allen piece, all i said is that we need to look at these things in a new way and that compared me to stalin. [laughter] >> but there's something telling about how quickly that rhetoric kind of sets in. >> well, i think it's great that we are so attune, there's a difference between censorship and members of a consumerist society deciding not to patronize, right, we have power as consumers and that's not censorship, we decide not to go see a movie or show, that's not sen -- censorship. >> what came to my mind and the question came up was we have this unusual situation in america right now where as long as we have a perpetrator in the white house and a perpetrator in the supreme court anything goes and nothing surprises me, so it's like what do we do with this current moment and i think that this reckoning is happening largely because of that very, you know, devastating constant reminder that we have to get to a better place. >> and our institutions aren't going to do it for us, the federal government is not going to do and our supreme court is not going to do it for us so we've taken into it

two was supposed to have been already under construction now and he's been to spain and to space by stalin twenty fifteen. twenty nineteen they're still doing ground surveys on the phase one rate so they're way behind where they should have been if they were going to build it on their timescales they haven't actually started building anything that's the key point that not something style they have that put in some of the ground works but they haven't actually got as far as building anything big and even once they do they're looking at fifty billion or pounds more more fifty billion is what the government thinks is going to cost so your you're spending you you could stop and say those million pounds fifty thousand million pounds that really. really gains let's just imagine i know this is difficult but mostly i'm chris clearing that in the absence of chris grayling the transport who could appear with us today so what would you say to the transport was here to listen to the snow just say to stay straight away work out what the real problems with transport in the country are and then then you

that was made by stalin, the dictators of the 20th century.suggesting the president has any of those ideas. i am convinced now on the basis of the research i've done, he got that idea from pat cadell, the once liberal pollster for jimmy carter, who has swung way over to the right. he works now and does a lot of work for breitbart. the president heard that expression from him, from steve bannon, liked it and used it without an awareness of its roots. but the roots are horrible. no president of a democratic society has ever used it. why would he use it? in order to contain and control a free press which lies at the heart of american democracy. >> and you're suggesting this is, in your words, the new mccarthyism. >> yes. >> why? >> the new mccarthyism because mccarthy in the mid to early 1950s used the press, used lying, used fear, which ran through the entire american society, in order to get his way. and his way, he thought, was the way of running the country. but it set america back considerably, and it took a great journalist like edward r. m

they don't know about stalin, they don't know about mao which is a failure of the education system. but i think -- [audio difficulty] socialism, they're thinking of something very different than the gulag or the cultural revolution. anyone who knows history sees the connection between the two, how the one necessarily leads to the other. but when millennials say they prefer socialism to capitalism, they're saying they prefer the new deal and the great society to supply-side economics. that's, i think that's it. they're young. and to be young is to be on the left. they look out into the world and they say to themselves, why can't i be from stockholm? why do i have to be from sarasota or seattle? why can't i be from stockholm? now, of course, you've got some hard core socialists who are dreaming about lining up all the capitalists against the wall, but you've always had those people. they've always been around. i actually don't think there's all that many of them, although they do the make a big noise. i think most millennials are simply pulling together all the good things that they l
