winston churchill, the u.s. position in berlin, and the origins of nato, which researcher may considered a signature accomplishment. the harry truman the white house and harry truman foundation both in key west florida cohosted the event. this is the first of two parts. it is about two hours. >> well, thank you, and thank you all for being with us this morning. thank you for inviting me. it's my second trip to the little white house and it's very good to be back here in key west. my presentation today is entitled "the iron curtain speech: the sinews of peace and the power of prose." in the spirit of looking at original documents, randy, we're going to look at the near final draft of the iron curtain speech. this is the draft of the iron curtain speech that is in the collection of the national churchill museum, his train raid -- it was the day before he left on his famous train ride from washington, d.c. to missouri. he is working with the secretary making final edits and refinements to the great speech. we have

now, churchill who opposed the u.s. strategy to come across the channel also intensely wanted a british atomic bomb. he saw post world war dominated by the united states and soviet union and in that world britain needed a bomb of its own for independence, were his words. so -- so he had this and you could see how this could start moving together and it did. apparently for own national reasons, both sides were encouraging the issues to come together particularly among fdr and churchill. notably a lot of generals didn't know about both strategy negotiations and the bomb, where they did have the convergence of knowledge and how they talked about it. now the evidence for the convergence is circumstantial but quite extensive and personally i found it persuasive that they did come to a conjunction in august of 1942 that led to quid pro quo, while all of this was happening, the plan for operation overlord had to be created, while the top people were arguing. so long as there was no plan for cross-channel attack, both of the al

churchill has a good idea. he goes on to say, some platitudes to stalin and the russian people but also some warnings. here is the famous phrase that he, for which the speech is commonly known. >> defended across the -- and iron curtain has descended across the continent. behind that line, the ancient states of central and eastern europe, warsaw, berlin, prague, vienna, budapest, belgrade, bucharest, all of these famous cities and the populations around them lie in the soviet sphere. and all are subject in one form or another, not only the soviet influence but to a very high and in some cases increasing measure of control from moscow. >> the one change, the last-minute change to this part of the speech is the short-hand, it originally said the population surrounds them lie in the soviet sphere and churchill personalizes this in what i must call the soviet sphere. churchill is taking this upon himself. if moscow's influence again is unchecked following the u.k. withdrawals and american withdrawals, stalin didn't

churchill suffered. there was one point when he left the car into truman said to his associates, go easy on the old man. and churchill had a little recovery toward the end, and i think he came back a little bit, but that was in large part because of his special relationship in poker with harry truman. >> thank you.

now, churchill who oppose the u.s. strategy to come across the channel also intently wanted a british atomic bomb. he first saw post world war in which he would be dominated by the united states and the soviet union both atomic arms and his view in that world britain needed a bomb of its own for its independence. his words. so, he had this cognitive dissonance between opposing what the americans wanted. now, the strategy talks moved on apparently for their own and both sides were encouraging this issue to come together. particularly among fdr and churchill and the top advisors. notably, a lot of the generals did not know about both strategy negotiations and the bomb. where they did have that convergence of knowledge they also were converging and how they talked about it. now, the evidence is circumstantial. it's quite extensive. personally, i found a persuasive that they came to a conjunction in august of 1943 that led to a quid pro quo. while this is happening, the plan for operation overlord had to be created while t

churchill did not ask for americans soldiers. instead, he very pointedly wrote, give us the tools and we will finish the job. he did not believe that the british could not win the war without american forces, but he couldn't do that yet to his american cousins. so he said that what the british needed with american ships, planes, tanks and other weapons. up to that point in december, the british had been able to pay for american weapons and transport them through dangerous waters on their own ships. and this policy was known as cash and carry. but not churchill wrote the moment approaches when we shall no longer be able to pay cash for shipping and other supplies. the bottom line is the world's greatest empire was begging the american president for help. fdr's closest aide comment harry hopkins had joined him on that cruise and hopkins watched the president sitting alone in his deck chair reading and rereading churchill's leather silently. and then hopkins wrote one evening fdr's mood suddenly changed. in a matter of days while sa

churchill, winston churchill was the first lord of the cabbentry. he is the only man that can lose the war in an afternoon, end quote. essentially what churchill was saying is that if britain loses command of the sea to the germans, we lose the war. you will see why shortly. well, let's talk about ships. that is jewel. it's what you know today as the modern battleship. big gunned. for those of you not familiar in describing naval artillery, 13.5 inches is essentially that diameter across of the shell. this is about a 1,500 to 1,800 pound shell and can go 20 miles. we are talking about heavy duty artillery here. this is also the first class of ship equipped with anti-aircraft guns, which had not been before. well, here are two very important players. over there, that is sir david beaty, who later is going to become commander-in-chief of the grand fleet and later first sea lord, first sea lord being the senior officer in the royal navy. he was famous for a comment he made to the captain of his flagship at the battle of jutland after the second of his

as churchill wrote, the representative between the bill- - bolshevism and nordic self- assertion, churchill would have known the postmaster general's name as well. what did he do? he understood how to ration this stuff. he wrote a letter of fdr being in-- we have a vision of fdr being in everyone's living room, he actually wrote saying there's something in the human psychology that resists hearing the highest note played in the scale repetitively. he wanted to ration himself. he only wanted to go on the radio when he really had something to say. 1940, 1941 when he explained the different theaters of the war, remember the white house asked everyone to get a map and rand mcnally ran out of maps? immense popular leadership. president. truman and lyndon johnson are examples of people who surprised us because they did things that run-- that one would not have expected. they become these remarkable advocates for civil rights and living up to the promise of the decorate-- the declaration. pointing forward as opposed to pointing at each other, i think the presidents that stand largest in memory are

winston churchill said this most famously. marshall would say that i think about what history is going to say about it, even a keeping a diary, i'm going to screw things up now and do it with that in mind. the line from marshall responded saying you've got to keep a diary for the future. he knew it would be self-serving so it creates a challenge for someone to understand on one hand, but ultimately came to see it as an advantage. marshall was not trying to craft a story in real time. he was leaving that to others to do. but it made possible to write this book in what was very important to me, you have people sitting in meetings all the time. you have contemporaneous real-time notes that much of what they're saying. but most importantly this is not a surprise to anyone who worked with anyone in any field is the kind of young aides about marshall who know what is going on. there are two in particular who are amazing characters in their own right and a different one is this young, earnest officer who keeps a diary, reviewers mars

we have heard from tim riley about churchill's address in missouri. that speech delivered in march of 1946, just after the famous anonymous foreign affairs, talking about the threat of the soviet union set the tone for how the soviet union was used. the potential of its threat. so from one postwar speech change the way the world thought of the international order to another 15 months to the very day. the fifth of june, 1947. another great educational establishment at a small liberal arts college harvard university. he once said it was the true architect of victory in world war ii. and that harvard on the fifth of june, he began the public ladies of his plan to win the peace. marshall was there to receive an honorary degree and he spoke to the alumni association, often misrepresented as a commencement address. it was not, he was speaking to the alumni, the citation read, soldier and a statesman whose ability and character brought only one comparison in the history of this nation. the comparison was not made directly, but you all know who is being refer

and churchill certainly had a white house connection. as prime minister of great britain, he stayed in the white house several times during world war ii. the bombing of pearl harbor. the prime minister arrived on december 22, was present for christmas, and with president roosevelt on the south portico, the national christmas tree was lit. along with the president, the prime minister delivered a brief message broadcast around the nation and the world. nearing the end of his remarks, he said, let the children have their night of fun and laughter. let the gifts of father christmas delight their play. let us grown-ups share to the full in their unstinted pleasures before we turn again to the stern task and formidable years that lie before us. resolve that by our sacrifice enduring, these same children shall not be robbed of their inheritance or denied their right to live in a free and decent world. thank you very much.

then president roosevelt, winston churchill, president reagan. and the incumbent understands the vernacular of reality tv and social media. we know that the presidency has not changed the incumbent, right? we don't know whether the incumbent has changed the presidency. i think one thing he has changed is it's hard for me to imagine a successor not having an authentic ongoing social media communication with the country. >> you think that's permanent? >> i do. >> twitter, the whole thing. >> i think that if you start -- if you look at -- i think going forward, if you look at something that comes out from a candidate or an incumbent and it looks as though it went through four layers of people, i think that's going to have an affect. i could be wrong, but we are all the media now. >> so if you're thinking -- i don't want to get -- i was trying to focus on the past but let's bring it -- >> sorry. >> let's bring it up to now. are you saying jon meacham, that in order to be successful in electoral politics in this country, you've got to be able to maste

this churchill had a hand in producing the first tanks. i must say, from their descriptions, he sounded like a good chap. indeed, the tank concept was churchill's brainchild who, in january of 1915, as first lord of the admiralty, he recommended to promised her herb or ask special mechanical devices for taking trenches should be developed. thus, long before they came to know and trust each other, eisenhower and churchill shared a common experiential bond. take a look at this. this was his headquarters in 1918. you can see the building behind the flagpole. that's where the photo was taken, the previous photo. this is a long steiner avenue. notice the fourth ohio infantry marker. that is still there today. it's close to the entrance where you would go up to the old orama building. that's what it looks like today thanks to google earth. the parking lot of general pickets buffet was captain ike eisenhower's headquarters. prior to the arrival of the tank, eisenhower and his staff organized a broad training program that included marksmanship, me

in our collection a gift of the wartime friends of winston churchill. epstein was born in new york city in 1880. he later moved across the pond and became a british sedition in 1907 -- citizen in 1907. the british ministry of information commissioned him to create six likenesses of wartime leaders. the most notable being the bronze head of winston churchill. epstein was later knighted in 1952. the following church hill's death 18 donors joined together to acquire this bronze for the white house collection. the wartime funds included a former president, dwight d eisenhower, who as you all know was supreme commander of the allied forces in europe. general omar bradley and all but one u.s. ambassador to the united kingdom. as we all heard today church hill certainly had a weiss health -- white house connection. he stayed in the white house several times during world war ii, notably after one of our darkest hours, the bombing of pearl harbor on december 7, 1941. the prime minister arrived on december 22, with presents for christmas. he was with president ro

according to the two officers this churchill had a hand in producing the first tanks. they admired him and i must say from their descriptions he sounded like a good chap, unquote. indeed the tank consettlement w concept was churchill's brainchild, and he recommended it to the prime minister that quote special mechanical devices for taking trenches, unquote, should be developed. thus long before they became known and trusted each other eisenhower and churchill shared a common experienceal bond. this is along stiver avenue and notice the fourth ohio infantry marker. that's still there today. it's close to the entrance where you would go up to the old building. now go to the next picture. that's what it look like today thanks to google earth. so the parking lot of general picket's buffet was basically captain ike eisenhower's headquarters. prior to the arrival of the tank eisenhower and his staff devised a broad training program that included rifle marksmanship, drill and ceremony tactics and even telegraphy. according to eisenhower a number of machine guns came in and we

in fact, the first tank was churchill's brainchild. in 1915, as the first loyal admiralty, he thought devices for taking to the trenches ought to be developed. before i knew it, there became a cultural, experimental bond. this was his headquarters in 1918. it was also the headquarters camp of the u.s. troops in 1917. you can see the building behind the flag positively. . that's still there today. it's close to the cyclerama building. so the parking lot of general picket's buffet was ike and mamie eisenhower's quarters. >>> drill and ceremony tactics and even telegraphy. more importantly, machine gun training would require -- according to eisenhower, a number of gun slingers came in and someone had the notion of mounting them when truck trailers were out did say plar. many. it's based on the perfect stop. me ment. sfmt the gettysburg times noticed formed, i got the impression there was a regular battle underway. but it was only a dmolgs arrived in gettysburg were trained to drive. to learn how to organize, they used i barn. to get the f

, when churchill said, success is not final.failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts. and that was john mccain. i can't think of another person in my lifetime suffered and endured so many trials and tribulations, and yet continued to persevere and to try out. it is a testament to what a fine man he was in a -- and a loving husband and father. and i think people everywhere whether they agree with him were not politically, you kind of love the guy. i always loved interviewing him because unlike most politicians he would actually answer my questions. >> yes he waited. most politicians sort of bob and weave and they do the whole muhammad ali rope-a-dope and evade the question. but john mccain wouldn't do that. >> i just want to say he would love that reference because he was a sports fan through and through and i think the last time that i saw senator mccain, he was here. what was he talking about in the green room, put boxing. when we talk about him, i think he would like the fact that we are all smiling and

winston churchill gave us a better warning. which is a favorite of mine. when the present begins arguing with the past, you have likely lost the future. only when americans become more aware of their history, unity and brotherhood will not be far behind. nothing is more critical to the future of liberty than how we educate our children. such subjects as history, geography, penmanship all for the sake of computer science courses. they may increase technical skills, but it destroys culture. cultural illiteracy is fast becoming a way of life. eliminating memorials will not change yesterday. learning from them can change tomorrow. some 150 years ago, our president give us a sharp morning. america he said will never be destroyed from the outside. if we falter and lose our freedom, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. we cannot sit idly and quietly allowing these incendiaries to run loose. speak up, you have a voice. you have a telephone. you have a computer. but you also hold a much more powerful weapon. you have the ballot. we have long been a nation of
