churchill was even closer to wynette and harriman. he made both of them part of his inner circle, giving them unprecedented access not only to himself, but to members of his government. according to one of churchill's private secretaries, john coldwell, the american embassy under winette became basically an extension to 10 downing street. it is important, he focused even more in the harley harbor days on harriman who because he was in charge of administering u.s. aid to britain was considered even more crucial to britain's survival at that point. both of these men, wye met and harm an were in his inner circle, but he will pulled them into his life. they were members of churchill's family during the war. it is another country estate that churchill frequently visited. just to give you a brief example of how close they were all three of them ended up having wartime love affairs with members of churchill's family. harriman and merrill both were involved at different times in pamela, and wynette fell in love with churchill's daughter sarah

all these things that made churchill popular with some an unpopular with others. his desire to intervene on this side of the white russians. these things. >> they did not precede him. but we heard his speeches and read news accounts. but he gives his speech before congress in which he talks about gettysburg, and he says he has always subscribed to the theory of government for the people, by the people, and of the people. just the way linkedin -- he did not mention lincoln by name but quotes directly from the gettysburg address. and he thought power sprung from the house of commons and not from the marquee. a very american populist speech. not a british speech at all. very much geared toward the american notion of government, power flowing from the bottom up than the top down. similarly remarkable speech and i do not think it gets enough attention. >> there is a book about american men with names and american women without names. rosie the riviter. worthies exceptional men -- where these exceptional men outside of churchill or just as good and bad as people in auth

say, bus churchill was cultivating roosevelt. roosevelt had no particular reason to be friendly to his ashe critic, herbert hoover, who was trying to be humanitarian and was simultaneously running for president and being a political critic of roosevelt. >> you write very objectively, about this murky period when there was clearly some kind of outreach from the roosevelt white house to hoover about a humanitarian effort, and can you clarify that? >> well, yes. one of the interesting little points about history, when poland was invaded in september 1939, franklin roosevelt sent an emissary to hoover and asked whether hoover would be willing to go to europe to lead american relief efforts of some sort in this newly developing war. and it seems that the idea for this was eleanor roosevelt. eleanor roosevelt, i think, had always had a great respect for hoover's intellect and admired him, and she, i think, was seeking a way to reconcile them at that point, actually. and hoover declined. he -- i think he suspected that the offer was not

he of course had run-ins with churchill in the first world war and he is very rough on churchill in freedom betrayed. can you talk a little bit about that relationship? >> guest: yes. huber of course made his world reputation as a humanitarian at the humanitarian relief of belgium, the entire country of belgium in world war i. that required the cooperation or the acquiescence of the british government as well as the germans who occupied belgium and one of the people and the british government to who held out initially against allowing a neutral relief agency to go in and give food to enemy occupied territory was winston churchill was first lord of the of multi. that was a policy dispute and i don't know that they met over it at that point but jumping ahead to 1940 now, while the war was on in europe, the germans had just overrun much of france and the low countries. in 1940 hoover attempted to reprise his role as humanitarian in europe by proposing an effort to set up a kind of analog of this belgian relief agency of world war i and do the same thing for the oppressed peoples under german c

churchill was an open the gates and less roosevelt made him do it you might say because churchill is cultivating roosevelt. roosevelt had no particular reason to be friendly to his art critic herbert hoover was not trying to be but running for president and being a critic of roosevelt. >> host: you write very objectively about this period there is clearly some kind of reached from the roosevelt white house to hoover about a humanitarian effort, and can you clarify that? >> guest: yes, one of the interesting little points above history is that when poland was invaded in september, 1939, they sent an emissary named myron taylor and asked whether hoover would be willing to go to europe to lead american relief efforts of a sort in in this new lady phill looking war and it seems that the idea for this was eleanor roosevelt and had a great respect for the intellect and admired him and she i think was seeking a way to reconcile them at that point actually, and hoover declined. i think that he suspected that the offer was not genuine, it was an attempt to get him out of the country and out o

donovan supported churchill and was against the other senior officers that were advising roosevelt. he felt they should invade north africa first and that could be what he called a giant aircraft carrier to launch covert operations into the balkans, in the middle east and eastern europe. >> the atlantic charter of course is very important because it -- it is where the idea of a united nations organization is born to come out of the second world war. it's the first attempt by the british and the americans to kind of state their war aims which by the way included a whole slew of economic ideas including freer trade and so forth. some of which the british cabinet really resisted and churchill was sending messages back to the cabinet and oftentimes the cabinet would oppose him and he'd have to back down. sir alexander kerrduggen from the foreign office called it the atlantic flop. the british were bitterly disappointed that it didn't result in a u.s. declaration of war. you know, we got to remember that they were still very, very desperate and in desperate straits. of course, hitler had

morning to more churchill became churchill.that is what i wanted to find. >> host: i remember and i'm paraphrasing, headed toward a re-election at some point and someone asked him, to tough job as president would you recommend others to be president? he said, yes, but not yet are co. [laughter] alright. desk of the timing in the sense of self-deprecation. remember he was running against working guys in the cambridge massachusetts and 46. they knew the neighborhood. he was a carpetbagger and he began to write his memoirs, okay a carpetbagger. they were telling top stories and the finally stands up to this lean rich kid and says i guess i'm the only one that didn't work his way up the hard way and he just laughed it off. at least he admits he had it handed to them. >> host: that reminds me about reagan used to say, they say hard work never killed anybody but why take a chance? let's go to 1962, the bay of pigs, chris jeff, berlin whatever you think of those things. now we have a real problem. it is for 13 days in october after di

and winston churchill says we need oil for our naval fleet. they used to say oil don't grow in england. where are you going to get it? mesopotamia, called the sultan and he said we want that oil. we want the right to dig up the oil. the oil is not out of the ground yet. the sultan said i can't give it a. i gave it to the deutsche bank. he said we want it anyway. break your deal with the deutsche bank. now, why was, why was winston churchill and england capable of pressuring the sultan in this fashion? i told you a moment ago that the ottoman empire was broke. how broke or they? they were actually bankrupt. and as a result of this, the national debt of the ottoman empire was owned by the international debt commission that controlled taxes, levies, revenues. and if they wanted to charge an extra, charge an extra shackled to cross a bridge, they need to get permission of the bank of london. sale they were at the mercy of the british. 1903, british tell the turks, you've got to break your deal with the germans. up at about 1909 with so much pressu

late at night the later got the more churchill became churchill. that is what i wanted to find. >> host: i am paraphrasing. somebody asked him bedded is a tough job would you recommend others try to be president? he said yes. it. >> guest: the timing and the sense of self dedication remember the was running against cambridge massachusetts he was a carpet bagger. he knew that. the day alltel tough stories i guess i'm the only one here that did not work his way up the hard way. he was laughed off bradley's he admits that. >> they say hard work never killed anybody but why take a chance? going to, 1962, berlin, a bay of pigs , now we have a real problem. thermonuclear war the 13 days in october after discovering so the missiles with nuclear warheads rapidly trying to be put in place which would threaten us. >> host: intermediate range to hit the arctic they were for real. >> host: i could say at first they will strike. did not happen that way. >> the people who wanted to strike including kennedy and bobby then later bundy and curtis lemay who wanted t

he says the more church that will become churchill. that's what i wanted to find. >> host: i remember. i'm paraphrasing. of course there is a reelection at some point. there's a tough job. you recommend others trying to be brothers? he said yes, but not yet. all right. just go the timing and the census self-deprecation. remember he was running that these working guys in cambridge, mass. back in 46. they knew the neighborhood. he would begin to write his memoirs. but he said they are all telling test stories. he finally said i guess i'm the only one here that didn't work its way up the hard way. and then he just laughs it off. okay he's funny. >> host: that reminds me of what reagan has to say. he says hard work never killed anybody. why take a chance. let's go to 1962. forget the bay of pigs, berlin, whatever you think of. now we have a real problem. maybe thermonuclear war. it's a 13 days and not covert after discovering there is soviet missiles with nuclear warheads rapidly trying -- which with that nice. house guest go there and not

someone once said about winston churchill late past the night, the more churchill became churchill. that's what i wanted to find. >> host: i was there. i am paraphrasing. of course heading towards a reelection at some point. it was a tough job as president. would you recommend others try to be president? he said yes, but not yet. >> guest: the timing and the sense self-deprecation. whenever he was running against working guys in cambridge, mass. they knew the neighborhood. he would begin to write his memoir. but he said they are all telling tough stories. he finally stands up and says i'm the only one here didn't work his way up the heart rate. many just laughs it off. at least he admits he had handed to them. host governments manned flight he once said. hard work never killed anyone, but why take a chance. now we have a real problem. maybe thermonuclear war. 13 days in october after discovering that they are soviet missiles with nuclear warheads rapidly trying to be put in, which would threaten us. >> guest: and immediate missiles were not defensive missiles. they were for real. >>

churchill was the first one you raise that formulation and i put it a little differently.hen i was young, i was conservative. and as i got older, i became very very conservative. [laughter] and, i look forward to a full life of becoming really and surely conservative. [laughter] because it make's the liberals crazy. that is kind of a lazy way of saying it is they were born crazy. [laughter] but, i gave a little thought to bill and to his book and to several of his books actually and i thought about many times when i was with bill, the lectures, the public addresses and things like that. you all know about things like that but you don't know about one aspect of his life that i ran into with him all the time. i remember once we were crossing park avenue, and i was looking over at bill and bill had a mound of manuscript held up to his chest and he had something in his hand, a red ink pen probably and i thought to myself, he is not going to get 10 pages across park avenue but this whole thing is going to cascade down to the ground and sure enough it did. papers everyplace, red

and although there's not a picture, churchill did the same thing on the siegfried line.tell you what's been -- >> that was -- you know, i have to tell you that -- >> -- really disturbing to me. >> go ahead. finish that thought. >> but what i'm saying what is really disturbing to me is just kind of the over-the-top rhetoric from this administration and their disdain for the military, it appears. whether it's the secretary of state or whether it's the secretary of defense. these kids made a mistake. there's not any doubt it. should not have done it. it's bad. but to call it a criminal act i think is over the top. >> well, here's the problem, i think, all the things that you mentioned as part of history was before youtube, it was before the taliban, it was before this feeling that the u.s. somehow does not respect, you know, religions. this is something that's not just a picture. it's not just a message to americans. it's a message that could hurt us in the larger world. so i'm not sure of the exact age of them, but no matter what age they are, is this the kind of behavior

. >> he's like churchill? >> he's closer to maggie. >> this is the language. your candidate will not talk to the street saying he's not as socialist, but he's farther to the left. does that mean he's like maggie thatcher? or winston churchill? or one of the stranger europeans? he's on the right too? what are they talking about when they say he's european? >> i think americans have had enough of people who try to insight with rhetoric and all of this stuff going on. and then we have had the other side of the coin. people who just don't seem to understand that what we need is a uniter and not a divider. the most important thing, and this is the thing for floridians. we have 10% unemployment. i have 14%. when all this mishmash is over, we need somebody who has business experience. somebody who has a personal life that's a good example. and who has led as an executive. we have a guy that was a community organizer. he won the american idol contest. he can sing, but he can't lead. we have had that. we need a leader. >> okay. thank you. you heard the shot about the p

this may all look very heath robinson, but in fact, this is one of the machines that in churchill's famous"shortened the war by two years." this is colossus, the first computer of its kind in the world that enabled the cryptanalysts of bletchley to break the lorenz code, so vital in the buildup to d-day. to put it all in perspective, it takes a modern pentium computer twice as long to break a message as colossus was doing more than 50 years ago. of much more recent history is the nearby bletchley leisure centre, and that's where we've set up our cameras today. let's join our experts with the people of this part of buckinghamshire. i know it's been in the family, and we believe it goes back as far as 1700. i know it's been handed down from generation to generation and the family originated from shropshire. immediately, the first thing with any piece of oak is... is it old or isn't it old? it certainly looks the part. the top is fixed; isn't it? yes. the reason for that is, in most cases anyway, these old tables, in the 17th and early 18th century, were used one side for dining, with this po

again, quo tote -- to quote winston churchill, it is a terrible system. it is just better than any other one. i met with the brazilian supreme court. they have just met with the united states supreme court less than a month ago to deal with their issues. in brazil, every matter that comes before the supreme court of brazil, they had 80,000 cases last year, 80,000, obviously, no justice. you cannot have a system that wants to review 80,000 cases. i do think our appellate system could use some tweaking, but by and large, the florida -- i am not sure i agree with that -- almost certainly respected -- the florida supreme court's motto is, you'll appreciate this, i will not give you the latin version, but the translation is "soon enough, if correct." that is the actual motto. sometimes soon enough is not soon enough. you are correct. as you know, professor, the supreme court of the united states takes such few cases that usually the intermediary court decision is the final one. we have to fill the bench. it is going to be worse every day if we have an empty fe

winston churchill said that nations have interest and not friends. and i agree with what churchill says. one deals with the isi in places where it is in our interest. we have to find ways to redress the imbalance between the civilian and the military government. when i say to redress, i mean what we can to foster an atmosphere in which pakistanis can reduce the imbalance. we can't do that. only they can do that. only can that happen if there is leadership that provides what we call good governance to the public and that is the only way you are going to do it. i don't think that with a recovery or not the fact of the matter is it isn't adel on popular in pakistan. one of the reasons that they provide support to the taliban is i think that a lot of people in pakistan are sympathetic to that policy. so far from that being a problem in terms of pakistan the attitudes, it might actually be something that helps, so that is within pakistan the average pakistan is right aware of the intelligence services. there are three of them they have to deal with and it
