churchill society trustee lee pollock described british prime minister winston churchill's visits to washington, d.c. and his relationship with u.s. elected officials throughout his political career. the u.s. capitol historical society hosted this event, which was held at the national churchill library and center on the george washington university campus in washington, d.c. >> i think you want to hear my voice. i know lee has a lot to cover, so i don't want to waste too much time. everyone knows who churchill is, of course. >> who am i is the question. >> who is lee pollock is the question i had when i first met him six months ago, and he's been a wonderful friend to the historical society, and i think to the d.c. scholar community in general, although he comes from chicago. so much of your time is spent here, your connection with the center. so lee pollock, our speaker today, was a trustee and advisor to the board for the international churchill society. for almost nine years, and is executive director for the six years before that. tail end of that stint as executive director, he l

society and winston churchill's life and legacy. the national churchill center at george washington university, where we are today is a wonderful venue for scholarship research, education and outreach and we're delighted to harn -- partner with the capital historical society on programs like this. we look guard to many more cooperations in the future. the story of winston churchill in the united states begins in 1895 when he first set foot on american shores. he was just 20 years old, known primarily as the son of one of britain's greatest families. had been born at landhmbing am palace, the home of his grandfather, the duke of marlboro and came to the united states in 1895 while on his way to cuba. he had secured an assignment to report on the cuban resurrection against san francisco iraq imperial rule. his father was this man, lord randolph churchill, who had died earlier in the year. one of the most prominent political figures of the late victorian age. thought by many to be a future primary, which was a position, unlike his son,

and he wrote everything down and again and again winston churchill, using the king, as they always do, they use them as their shrinks. [laughter] telling them things they can't tell anyone else. again and again, churchill expressed his extreme frustration with the roosevelt administration for being so slow into the second world war. things i always wanted to ask him at last, just before the end of this book, i was able to ask him. >> i want to keep on churchill for a moment. andrew, one of your reviewer news robert norcross, writing in the guardian, had this to see somewhat begrudgingly i say. yet that sounds right. >> yet that sounds right. >> one surprising and unexpected insight from this exhilarating life, is that all of the qualities that we trust, is an tolerance and is lying and vulgarity, chauvinism and narcissism and prejudice, are fleetingly evident within churchill. the tempered and civilized by intelligence with grandma passed and generosity of spirit. so my question is is this comparison unfair or apt? statement i say one thing that he misses out in the greatness, is that

i played winston churchill when gary oldman and brian cox in two or three other people were plain winstonhurchill and now it happens, i play roger ailes and proceeded by russell crowe. but more power to them, my intention is to burde burn theml off the screen. [laughter] [cheering] >> and you can extend your humanity to roger ailes. >> actually, i did all that i could to extend my humanity to roger ailes. of course he's a billionair vil. it's about the women of fox in gretchen color son, susan estrich, several others played, nicole kidman, allison janney, connie britton, kate mckinnon, incredible ensemble of smart and committed actresses and it is their movie. everything that they do is in reaction to the reality of roger ailes and what he created up fox. to me that was a great asset, poor russell crowe had to be the major player in eight part series about roger ailes. i did not watch because i do not want my mind modeled as i played the part. but i also do not want to because i did not want to see eight hours of roger ailes. [laughter] i really do feel he had a terrible burden to carry.

this is quite strange because it kind of obviously is resonating with winston churchill with the victoryt borisjohnson churchill with the victory sign that boris johnson and yet that was not what boris johnson boris johnson and yet that was not what borisjohnson was saying. boris johnson and yet that was not what boris johnson was saying. borisjohnson was saying what boris johnson was saying. boris johnson was saying was about two referendums and so this suggestion that boris johnson was striking this kind of winston churchill pose actually is inaccurate it's kind of odd that it is taking the front page of the metro and kind of comes after what i mentioned before about this information is being spread in this campaign andl information is being spread in this campaign and i think is interesting about what is happening with the conservatives and will continue to happen of this campaign is that the bbc story about fact checking that some the things borisjohnson has been saying about the nhs in schools and showing actually a lot of what is being said is a reversal of the cuts that have been

but winston churchill victory sign. but winston churchill is his hero. language and rhetoric. yes, i mean, ithink this is probably a comparison that johnson quite likes, it is not one that he would shy away from it anyway. and there is kind of bombastic rhetoric that he quite likes to use. and so this idea of get done is going to be the big strapline for this conservative campaign. it is a bit simplistic in terms of what is going to happen nextin terms of what is going to happen next in the country, but also the fa ct next in the country, but also the fact that we are not just electing next in the country, but also the fact that we are notjust electing a government to deal with brexit, but for the next five years, potentially, if there is another election next year. so i think this point about fact checking on the things that politicians are saying, they will come under scrutiny for some of the claims they are making around universal credit. we saw today the advertising standards authority say that the government had put out ads about universal credit th
