he had churchill begging for the aged and so his nomination was crucial to him and wilkie so they havea destroyer deal that didn't oppose the which was just essential to tell you how essential the draft was we had an army of to under 70000 in the same size army at pearl harbor without -- we had an army of 1.6 million what a difference that made in the history of the world. so that the draft if you think about the risk to roosevelt of supporting the draft two months before the presidential election and two weeks before the draft he took this unprecedented step he thought he might be impeached for of sending those destroyers to england, but just in the nick of time just a minute of time and i can't overemphasize my feeling that he couldn't have done this if they had been in isolationist opposing at so he was a german is the important figure in the life of this country come and indeed in the world and i would read one thing that walter wittman who was the wisest journalist of the time wrote about wilkie and said second only to the battle of britain the sudden rise and nomination was the d

churchill fired generals left and right. team that roosevelt picked was in place from the beginning of the war respectively running the farmy and the navy and the airfest and they're still in place at the end of the war. i mention that his second role as commander in chief was as strategist in chief. making the major decisions as to how the war will be fought. now, one of the very first decisions he makes is that germany must be defeated first. he believes this because he is convinced that the defeat of germany will bring about the defeat of japan, but that the defeat of japan will not bring about the defeat of germany. now, in winning this victory against germany, his chief advisers, beginning with marshall, eisenhower, who is then in the war plans division, and other major figures, very clearly support an invasion across the english channel, builds up a huge force in great britain, sends them across the channel and then run the essentially flat 500-miles to berlin. marshal presents the president with a plan for this strate

that reminds me -- i'm a big fan of winston churchill, and i have a bust of winston churchill in my office. churchill said americans can be counted on upon to do the right thing, but only after 2450e6 exhausted all of other possibilities. i think that's kind of where we are right now. we can get back to work. we can get people out of poverty. we can reignite prosperity and save medicare and we can do this by electing leadership. the man who is going to lead this comeback for america is the man standing next to me. his name is mitt romney, and he is going to be the next president of the united states of america. sfoo thank you. what a treat to be here. thank you. thank you so much. paul, you're terrific. thank you. and to frank and charlie. kelly. what a team here. and only a catholic guy would be able to get the bells to toll just at the right time. father, did you that for him. i know. oh, my goodness. so many friends here in new hampshire. gosh, i feel like i'm almost a new hampshire resident. i come here, and it would safe me some tax dollars, i think. but it's great to be here with you

this is where churchill became horrified.e fact that roosevelt announced he was going to withdraw american troops in europe was of course absolute music to stalin's ears and infects churchill was at one stage contemplating the idea that somehow we should push the russians back to -- over poland what was called operation unthinkable but i think it was one of the -- the main failing of roosevelt was a belief and excessive belief in his own charm and ability to win stalin around to his way of thinking. style and was not going to be won over by anybody. c-span: i don't know if this is an irrelevant question but who was worst? stalin or hitler? let me ask it this way. stalin and hitler -- >> guest: one of the marching remarks was by the great physicist and dissident and he said although this was in reference to stalin and hitler, although stalin killed more people than hitler, hitler still had to be defeated first and i think that is absolutely true because if hitler had won in the soviet union, the deaths, the hunger plan alone,

>> well, look, i made a very simple statement that obama had returned the bust of churchill that hadeen lent to the united states to the bush administration in the bush years. i thought it was unobjection unobjectionable. it was not the main point. it was about the romney trip and the slights that our allies have experienced from the obama administration, over the last 3 years. and then all of a sudden, i get this furious attack on the white house web site, which is not exactly, you know, a megaphone, saying that i was pedaling ridiculous rumors and this was 100% false, eats set raand showing what appeared to be photographic evidence of the claim that the bust had not been given back to the brittings, but had had been moved to a different part of the white house. now when i read that -- that blog post, i was amazed because this is not something -- my statement was not something new t. had been around for years. the brits had written about it in 2009 t. turned out, of course, that the white house had made a mistake. it was returned. i called the british embassy and within hours, i iss

obama started his presidency by returning the bust of winston churchill that had graced the oval office column 100% false, insisting the white house had never returned the bust to the brits. kra krauthammer was not amused. >> it's astonishing. he doubled down. all he had to say was we got it wrong the first time. he should have honorably said, we made a mistake. >> pfeiffer eventually did just that saying he had confused a copy of the churchill bust with the original. he wrote, "i take your criticism seriously and you are correct that you are owed an apology. there was clearly an internal confusion about the two busts and there was no intention to deceive. i clearly overshot the runway in my post." overshot the runway and the airport. krauthammer had the virtue of being right. >>> finally, the death of gore vidal has brought a flood of commentary, but "the new york times" botched a few key details.

in your book you quoted churchill about how we create our buildings and our buildings create us. in terms of architecture not on the architecture of the specific building but this massive, independent architecture that's been created these tubes, what are they doing to us? >> my starting point was certainly a concern that it was losing touch with the physical world and was living entirely in front of the screen. and one of the great pleasures of visiting the internet was when you visit the internet you're not on the internet. i put my vote democratic in a state and spent the day with these people come at that engagement was very satisfying. that sort of one way of thinking about it. i mean, my sense of where the internet is going, well, if we're talking about it is that as a philosophical idea of a network of networks, it seems sort of impossible to disappear. if it disappears in it current forms into more networks connect and that's a new internet and somewhere. there's a great story in "the new yorker" a few ago, he imagined was another internet that split and the only 100 peop
