churchill. so you have these letter from people like jack whitney, the admirer, the great broadcaster, of course, she married all the way through the time to churchill's son randolph, had a baby by him, but also you get love letters from bill paley and from admiral harriman himself, fdrs special envoy, and general kenneth anderson, and someone we just know as jerri. -- jerry. you put these together and there's something that new, that wouldn't have appeared, all of these new sources on every page of my book. >> you used these sources in your many, many years of experience researching churchill to take readers along with churchill on his walk with destiny but the sense of destiny was present in him from a very early age. can you tell us about that? >> it's absolutely essential for understanding him. from the age of 16, winston churchill -- almost totally self-educated because he had to be because he went to -- [inaudible] -- he at the age of 16 and told a friend that they were going to be great s

after the father's death, in 1894, at the age of 45 when churchill was 20, churchill grieved his obsession with his father. he wrote his father's two-volume biography. adopted his father's political stance of benjamin democracy. he adopted his father's speaking starts and putting his hand on his head. he called him son randolph, and when he finally made money. basically winston churchill was in the red until the early 370s, when finally he had cash to spenld because he'd written his war memoirs. he did a renallancy thing which was to spend it on the first of 37 race horsz. he put the jockies into his father's racing. >> host: churchill fought and wrote his way all over the world and time and again he displayed a kind of extraordinary and reckless courage that many of his contemporaries were amazed at. he said later that courage is the first of human qualities because it's the quality that guarantees all the others. you tell us a great deal about churchill's courage in your book, could you discuss that and how that was important to his career and success. >> andrew: the courage that was man

churchill read this letter from roosevelt to churchill to the house of commons. now look, the house of commons hearing, a letter from an american president with an american poet, not andrew marvel or william shakespeare or lord tenn tennyson and he asked what answer should we give in? and the answer is we shall not faulter, we shall not fail, give us the tools and we shall do the job. the tools being the hands and saws that longfellow talked about but also the tools that needed to win the war. this was his marvelous capacity to build consensus and he had the magnificent sense of balance and decency of the british people to help him. one time when i was in london in the '50s the english pacifist movement was at its height and they had brilliant leaders,er e be -- bertram russell, ajp taylor. they had a rally and the specific issue was they didn't want nuclear weapons on british soil so the movement was called ban the bomb and they had signs saying bam the bomb so there was a meeting at victoria and albert hall with ajp taylor and bertram russell and it was importa

and, this was the gift, english people, the -- that churchill knew. that churchill understood. again, for us, churchill embodies the idea of a commitment to the law, a commitment to the peace, a commitment to the freedom. he would agree, i think, if we said, the work of freedom is never done. thank you for thinking about and talking about it here this evening, thank you. >> we have -- thank you randolph, we have 10 minutes. you know, i often think about the 20s, and the great composers, we had kearns, we had gershwin, all of the same time. all of the rogers movies, all of that music was just one time. we had all of that at one time. that i was thinking, why do we have the magic in the late 18th century? why so much genius at the same time? why medicine? why jefferson? why ben franklin? what happened in our country that made that all happened? >> accident, providence, design, the enlightenment, changed the way we think about thought. just as the cyber age does, we can talk about that later. newton, for over a century was the most popular person in the world. people had not read

and, churchill made a very valuable contribution. now, to simplify a little bit, he talked about constitutional rights? roughly into words, negative prohibitions. congress shall make no load respecting an establishment or religion or prohibiting the exercise. and should make no law abridging the freedom of speech or the press, no person shall be condemned to life, or, condemned to punishment for life, and be put twice in jeopardy. no warrants shall issue upon probable cause, negative prohibitions. but, if you go down the street in washington on a cold winter day, and you see some homeless person trying to keep warm, saying, here's the constitution of the available united states, the rights to free speech and no warrant issued except upon probable cause and you cannot be put twice in jeopardy, look at that, they would say, i am cold and i am hungry. and for some years, there has been, a considerable advocacy for so-called positive entitlement, and constitutions. in the 70s and the 80s, again, post churchillian, we saw this in eastern

new , that churchill understood. again for us, churchill embodies the idea of a commitment of the law to peace and freedom, and he would agree i think that the work of freedom is never done. thank you for thinking about it and talking about it here. thank you.[ applause ] >> we have 10 minutes and i often think about the 20s and the great composers. all at the same time. all of the music and movies, and we know where that magic came from at one time. so i was thinking why do we have the magic in the late 19th century? why so much genius at the same time? what happened in our country that made it all happen. >> the enlightenment and the change away we think about thought just as a cyber age does, and newton for over a century was the most popular person in the world, and people had read, but this idea that the apple and the human mind of its own accord, and this was manipulating, and this enlightenment drove people to write and think on their own. they did not need help from the church or government, but they could th

the abrasion between churchill and eisenhower was no less severe than between churchill and franklin roosevelt. inosiss of friendship are sentimental and easily disapproved. churchill immediately taunted eisenhower for not negotiating with the russians when stalin died in march 1953. he demanded the u.s. have no contact with the new egyptian government in 1953, the young kernels that came to power that ousted the monarmy and hoped for a relationship with the americans. he also by then, had achieved an atomic weapon which britain got in october 1952, which gave a whole level of respect, different level of respect to the british empire, despite its economic undualations. yes, the americans quickly developed a hydrogen bomb and that vastly overshadowed anything atomic. but now it was also known that britain had not only a more sophisticated bomb that the u.s. demonstrateds in hiroshima, but they were fast on their own way in hydrogen capability. and remember the british produced the only jet bombers in the world. so you start marrying thermonuclear power with jet bombers and one's talki

this was actually winston churchill's baby. his idea. the idea was to break the stalemate on the western front, open the straits, which is coming out of the black sea, through istanbul, in the eugene mediterranean opening the waterway to allow the russian black sea fleet as well as the stuff coming out of a very robust agricultural area, and in here as well, romania, to come out into the indian ocean. it was also designed to prod italy into joining the war as well. now, church hill and the admiralty proposed a naval attack, on the gallipoli peninsula. and there was a little bit of dispute in the war council. ultimately, it was decided after the action had failed, the naval action had failed to open the straight. to inject land forces that i am going to go into that because it is a little bit beyond the scope here tonight, but i think that that is probably what most people are familiar with when you say gallipoli but i'm going to concentrate on the legal aspect. very interesting, many people do not in -- realize this the royal naval divis

so i like to reflect on that when we flash forward to winston churchill coming to america in 1946 and speaking at westminster college in missouri, and he toasted what he called the fraternal association of the english speaking peoples. he said in that talk, we must never cease to proclaim in fearless townes the great principles of freedom -- tones the great principles of freedoms and the joints of man, which through the magna carta, the bill of rights, the habeas corpus, trial by jury, and the english common law find their most famous expression in the american declaration of independence. so on this 144th anniversary of the birth of winston churchill, someone who was of both american and british, i absolute his birth, i absolute that -- salute his birth, i salute that special relationship between the united ingdom and this great country. mr. speaker, i rise today to recognize a good friend, the achievements of alice andrews, who was recently awarded the 2018 neil compton award for her tireless work on conservation in arkansas. born and raised in el dorado, alice received her undergra

throughout this campaign i have fought many times -- i've thought many times of the line winston churchillaid in the second world war, "why is it we think of history is something in the past and forget we are making it?" a criticalnight at moment in our history, this hour at a critical moment in our nation's history. tonight, the people of missouri said we are up for the challenge, ready to answer the call, we believe in america, that our best days are ahead. we believe in our future, and we are ready to fight for it. i'm ready to go to washington and fight for you.

going well i mean bill evacuated winston churchill had broadcast that there expeditionary force have been safely transported across the channel the the boys think they've been left behind yeah well and fight on the fourteenth of june they were sitting not far from here listening to the b.b.c. world service when winston churchill came on and the moans that the british expeditionary force had completely and successfully evacuated france and fact at that point there were still one hundred fifty thousand plus british troops still in france still trying to evacuate along with many civilians embassy staff people who'd been on holiday perhaps mixed in with refugees from belgium members of the faith forces who perhaps didn't fancy or away from the nazi occupation so there was a whole gallery of people who were anxious to get out and what about fifty kilometers from sun was out here yeah it's important to point out though there was real chaos no one really knew what was going on i mean partly due to water i'm censorship but the first indication the company got was when the commanding officer

wynton churchill's legendary book about a previous failure to heed warnings. churchill quoted a poem of a train bound for destruction rushing through the night, the engineer asleep at the controls as disaster looms. who is in charge of the clattering train? the axles creek and the cupelings -- couplings strain. sleep has deadened the driver's ear. signals flash through the night in vain. death is in charge of the clattering train. i contend, mr. president, that we are now that sleeping driver, that the signals are flashing at us so far in vain, and that it is decidedly time to wake up. i note that my distinguished colleague from massachusetts has arrived, and we have an order in place in which the senator from massachusetts is recognized at the conclusion of my remarks, and the distinguished senator from new hampshire, senator shaheen, is recognized at the conclusion of senator markey's remarks. so with that, let me yield the floor to the co-author of the waxman-markey legislation, the person who has done most successful work to try to solve this climate probl

we did a churchill thing together. it was winston's churchill 144 birthday.e did a ceremony and we did that together. i congratulated her on the caucus vote and offered her my condolences. it sounds familiar. it's a function of politics today. >> do you think democrats will go through similar growing pains being in the majority the same way john boehner and yourself, for eight years, seemed to constantly have this? >> yes, i do. i do. i'm not going to get into speculating floor votes and things like that. >> sure. >> but already you can see. the reason i'm speaker is because my predecessor, john boehner, went through it. i became the consensus person kind of drafted into it. we went through the matit and i they'll have the same experiences. those incentive structures are in place for both parties. >> they say democrats often say that they're the party that actually loves governing, though. they don't like to blow things up. as a republican instinct that the freedom caucus and the tea party are more inclined to blow up government. do you disagree? >> i think i

churchill was a good friend. but he was right in thinking that the main task not. but they could just manage to ask to one. they could do it they can but when your reactions when you saw the jews in europe after world war two what were you doing in germany at that time. when the war was a lesson to good to see jews in germany did the peace. you moved when you saw these did you actually see the camps themselves it was no one can. deny the luggage on. doesn't stop. i'm not. that it will be doing people who made palestine that was palestine and make the jewish people know what is an obligation. to and. that is placing. real magician aggression which will result in a plain and democratic a jewish commonwealth in power point. so . many jews there think of israel as a place of refuge for unfortunate jews why should the jews come back to zion look had a mission. we had a great group it's about three thousand three hundred years ago. he was the greatest juvie ever had. his name was machete he said attend him you had to call on me when i look i'm so glad i'm so good luck to

folks, heard other winston churchill's great who is here for the festival, somebody asked him yesterday, we don't know any different. i don't know what it's like to not have harry truman is a grandfather. >> did your friends treat you differently? >> they did not. school, i was a middle of the pond fish. i would to school with walter cronkite's son. walter was on television every night and his son was in class with us. i'm just harry truman's grandson. not an outstanding. >> when did you decide to take an active interest? >> in my mid to late 30's. after being ait teenager and a college student. not knowing what to do with it. i think you have to go off and live your life for a while, do what i thought i should be doing. i came back to it in my 30's, after david mccullough wrote "truman." i reread my mother's books. i rediscovered my grandparents as people. even though they were my grandparents, they had been a collection of dates and events and things in my history books. people talk about the marshall plan and the bombings. i rediscovered them as human beings. although i loved them as

when we got back to pearl harbor, they told us that roosevelt, churchill had got their independence on these koreans from the japanese. i took these pictures the day before thanksgiving. ♪ the camera gives you a good idea the kind of desolation the crack brains in berlin and tokyo unleashed on the world. the equipment we found has been brought in from all over. china, burma, they would have that two by four unloaded from every country they have overrun. they even dragged to some from the old british fortress at singapore. none of it was much good to them after the second day of fighting with guns knocked out and the gunners dead. there is a kitchen that i found in the tracts of a japanese tank. the smell of water brought her out. that is me giving her the water. the other cameramen took the picture. the men got around to taking freshwater baths on the third day. boy, they needed them. seabees were already working on the two bomber strips on the island. tarlac began to function -- began to function as an advanced airbase. they brought the first plane in. everybody got around to watch th

winston churchill came and spent weeks at a time. the princess from norway was there. when i was writing the book, i became assessed with the thought of what these people must be talking about in the bathrooms at night as they gather in the corridor that surrounds those six bedroom suites, and when i was with lbj, i was asking, where did churchill sleep? where was fdr? i was not thinking in those terms when those 24. so i mentioned it on what was the diane rehm show, and hillary clinton was listening, so she called me up at the radio station and invited me to a sleepover so we could figure out where everyone had slept. a couple weeks later she invited my husband and me to a state dinner, after which at 2:00 a.m. we figured out, chelsea clinton was sleeping where harry hopkins did. the clintons are sleeping where fdr was. we were in winston churchill's bedroom, there was no way i could sleep, he was definitely in the corner smoking his cigar. to go back to your major question, i think when anxious times are there, being able to relax with comrades is a really important
