could go through the history of your own country and you could go through the history of united states of great britain in many countries and we can find things that went wrong that went terribly wrong we can even find examples of deliberate corruption but the enlightment legacy as i say in patriots of 2 nations has its very very good aspects and it's aspects that have gone very wrong through divorcing us from the counter and lightman tradition and my argument is not one is better than the other and we need to make a choice and i'm actually is if you choose one or the other you end up with terrible results the problem with if we go too far on the enlightment side as i say is we lose can we lose that connection to matters of the heart and the soul and tradition and culture but on the other hand if we just say well obviously that that's a mistake so let's just throw it over and choose the counter and lightman then by discarding reason you lose the enormous progress that we can trace directly to the enlightment not just in technology and incredible economic prosperity that resulted directly from that thro

united states is a young nation. we had just gotten over the revolution and we were really only trying to make a go of it. at this time, great britain was fighting with napoleon and the french empire and the united states said they were going to make money off that war. they were trading to both of french and the british. the british were pulling up along merchant ships and stealing cargo. free trade and a sailor's one of the reasons america decided to declare war. this territory part of ohio was given to the north american tribes that lived here, and the promise was that there would be no settlers. there would be no military action. of course that did not happen. settlers were coming in building their farms. there were forts all the way through this area. as you can imagine, a lot of the american indian tribes in this area were not very happy about it. the great shawnee world dashboard chief tecumseh decided to band together -- the great shawnee chief tecumseh decided to band together. construction of fort makes began in 8 -- construction of the fort began in 1814. it was a really hard thing to do with a fork especially of this siz

united states was a young nation and we had just gotten over the revolution. we were our own country, and we were really just trying to make a go of it. at this point in time, great britain was fighting with the french empire, and the united states decided it was going to make money off of that war. they were trading to both the french and british. as you can imagine, neither side was too happy the united states was supplying goods and supplies, so the british actually were pulling up alongside merchant ships in the atlantic and stealing cargo and impressing sailors. free-trade and sailors rights is one of the reasons the united states decided to declare war. another reason is the land right out here. this territory part of ohio was given to the native american tribes that lived here with the treaty of 1774. the promise was they would be no settlers, no military action in this area. of course that did not happen. settlers were coming in, building their farms. there were forts all along this area. as you can imagine, a lot of the american indian tribes in this area were not very happy about it. the great shawnee war chief to decided to band together with a bunch of differ

gentlemen, be wrong and imprudent to entrust the secret knowledge and experience of the atomic bomb which the united states, great britainand canada now share, to the world organization while it is still in its infancy. it would be criminal to cast it adrift in this still agitated and un-united world. [applause] no one in any country has slept less well in their beds because this knowledge, the method, and the raw materials are largely retained in american hands. i do not believe we should all accept soundly had the positions been reversed and some communist or neofascist state monopolized for the time being these great agents. the fear of them alone might easily have been used to enforce totalitarian systems upon the free democratic world with consequences appalling to human imagination. god has willed this shall not be. and we have at least a breathing space to set our house in order before this has to be encountered. and even then, if no effort is spared, we should still possess no vulnerable -- vulnerable superiority as to impose deterrence on its employment or threat of employment by others. when the essential broth

billions of people and then you have gold a mayer of israel and margaret thatcher of great britain so why not the united states? that's the question i'm always left with and of course, judges can run for office if they choose to. the question is why not. >> why not indeed. >> women in so many ways and every time you have women in a particular space and you notice even on a board goes up. people don't see it when it happens, but whenever you place a woman or preferably several women in a particular role, the success of an organization goes up exponentially. i think if people just look at these examples and look alt the history of how women have made things happen and even the courageous women on this panel, how you have caused change and affected change, of course a woman can be president and of course, it can be a lawyer and of course, it can be a judge. >> thank you. so i think what we all know is that when that happens, it will happen with lots of people coming together to make sure it happens and so just like changing the face of the judiciary and local communities took efforts of lots of people, lawyers, j

of arms and munitions. second to great britain. third, the united statesbecame the first country in the world, to extend formal diplomatic recognition, to mainland spanish america, which happens in 1822, and to brazil, in 1824. that is the context for the 1823 on road doctrine, in which -- monroe doctrine, in which the u.s. famously declares the western hemisphere off-limits to further colonization attempts. i do not want to exaggerate the extent of this military or diplomatic support for latin america, because, to be clear, the united states never does for latin america, what france had done for the united states. this is one reason spanish america's independence wars took so much longer than the united states did, was so much more destruction. the united states got game changing foreign eight on generous terms, where spanish americans did not. if we think about the different trajectories of united states and spanish america after independence, this structural factor is a key part of the reason spanish americans did not have a really powerful foreign ally

united states into all of you around the world, welcome. we begin tonight with another diplomatic row between the european union and former member great britainthis one over covid-19 vaccines. british prime minister boris johnson says his government has not blocked the sale of covid-19 vaccines to the you. this was after london summoned that you envoy took spain cassation's made by the european council president. he's accused -- the latest bat comes as that you faces increasing criticism over its slow vaccination rollout. let's listen to what boris johnson said earlier today in britain's house of commons. >> i wish to correct the suggestion from the european council president that the u.k. has blocked vaccine exports. let me be clear, we have not blocked the export of a single covid-19 vaccine. or vaccine components. the pending has put us all on the same side and we oppose vaccine nationalism in all its forms. brent: let's take the story to london. charlotte joins me now. boris johnson says there's no band, the european union says were talking about a defect oh band. what is it? -- were talking about a de facto ban. charlott the astrazeneca

the great britain that entered the war was not the great britain that left the war. power on the world stage. early in the speech, the united states of america is at the pinnacle of world power and with that power comes responsibility. churchill realizes that his own country is not in that position. in many ways he is shopping for a special relationship and alliance to benefit britain, certainly behind the scenes in his visit to the united states before the iron curtain speech, churchill is trying to broker a deal to secure funding from the united states as opposition leader for his government. he is looking to secure funds to help with the indebtedness of his own country. the relationship is one we talk about today quite a bit, but it was also a relationship in some ways essential for great britain at the time. we have a new book just published on the subject called "the aspiring history of the special relationship." it is by one of our churchill fellows. it is fascinating any new look at the speech and the history of that relationship. host: let's talk to ned who is calling from ketchum, idaho. good morning. caller: i was just wond

of his own country from the united states. so the special relationship was one that we talk about today quite a bit, but it was also a relationship in some ways of necessity for great britain at the time. i'm into a little plug here. we have a new book that the museum just published on the subject. it's called the inspiring history of the special relationship pick it up if you're interested in learning more. it's by nancy carver one of our churchill fellows fascinating new topic and new look at the speech. and and the history of that relationship. let's talk to ned who's calling from ketchum, idaho, ned. good morning. how are you doing guys? yeah, i was just wondering if you can maybe comment on our current relationship with britain where biden throughout the best on the overall office the churchills, you know. the statue that they gave us after 9/11 um, that's our courses ally. we're actually trying to pivot right now. to our new five guys alliance with australia, new zealand in canada. you know, i in bed and still trying to keep this in this nato thing where we're just yeah, i mean, what do you think? you know, it's a great question. it seems as always with every new adm

that we as a european union are the part of the world that not only forces for themselves but also exports into the world unlike the united states unlike great britain. and in america has said that you oppose fixing protectionism but still wanted to make sure that the ears own population gets the much needed charts as soon as possible vaccination rollout has been slow in europe and leaders are frustrated vaccine doses produced in the e.u. do not always stay there that's why stricter rules are new experts could be introduced so this situation justifies us putting in place controls an expert i don't accept as being questioned on our morality. at the same time all the leaders agreed to for the ramp up production facilities within the e.u. let's get more now from do you have your political correspondent and i know she has a manual we heard uncle americal speak for a bit in that report what do you make of what she had to say. well there were several things that were quite interesting when she talked about fighting protectionism protection is an american never made it a secret that she sewed the only way out of this pandemic by all of this crisis is by gi

but my allies which were great britain and the soviet union and the united states, we all had different ideas of to run different governments. so that took a bit of tricky navigation. of course, my relationship with winston churchill was very good. we -- i often thought of him as a brother in some cases. we had a common background and as a matter of fact we found out later that we were eighth cousins several times removed. winston's mother was an american. >> yes. >> general stalin was -- he was a bit of a cipher. he was paranoid. he was convinced that we were going to sign a separate peace with germany and so that was a bit of tricky business. we did have differences. we had differences with great britain. they wanted to keep their empire. as you know, america was a british colony at one time and we were not interested in imperialism. but that being said, the main issue was to fight fascism and to come out with a peaceful world and a good and lasting peace. >> thank you. thank you for working so hard to do this. president washington, while the people of the nation would have asked more of you,

united states support for the french revolution and commitment to the alliance. meanwhile in england john jay negotiated a treaty that secured some of the american objectives, but did little to address the imbalance of trade with great britain or impressment by the world navy. nevertheless the treaty was ratified on february 29 1796. republicans were incensed and that is evident by a bit of graffiti that appeared around this time on a wall in boston. --, john, jay. -- everyone who won't -- john jay. -- everyone who won't put lights in his windows and sit up all night damning john jay. jay riley observed that he could make it could make his way through, pennsylvania at night by the light of his burning effigies all the way through the state. news of the j treaty reached the french government even before it was officially revealed to james monroe washington irritated by monroe's evidently pro french actions and statements instructed secretary of state timothy pickering to recall the minister monroe received word of his dismissal in december 1776. excuse me. 1796 monroe delayed his return home until august the 1797 partly to avoid harsh atlantic weather and partly to avoid the appearance of acquiescing to his recall. he publis

great britain that we also want to assume the situation here. anna: joining us now is jacob kirkegaard come the german marshall fund of the united states senior fellow brussels, also joins us. jacob, let me come to you with what we learn from the conference yesterday. is there any progress on the vaccine rollout? any progress made? the u.k. was not there, astrazeneca wasn't there. in the e.u. has had so much trouble with this of late. what did you take away from this in terms of progress? jacob: there wasn't very much tangible progress. e.u. leaders could not agree among themselves to distribute 10 million extra doses that they got. they obviously have been unable to have a political agreement with the british government. but what they did agree on was basically to sort of wave through the big stick that the commission put in place on wednesday, which makes it easier for it to -- in collaboration with members to block shipments from potentially astrazeneca, but also other companies. i will say, though, that the wording from leaders, and the communique and comments afterward makes me doubt very much that this new tool is going to be used on the compa
