that churchill won't do it.for the turner time and for the third time churchill simultaneously setting off by his battleship. and then to fly with the third party marshall sterling and before they ever got to tehran to argue withot the president that d-day must be delayed or canceled and onboard the battleship in that indictment of stupidity. by cross the english channel cracks line out with the colonial empire cracks why not let somebody else win the war s against hitler but that's what it boils down to. and there is only one man in this universe i would argue who has that kind of authority and respect to compel winston churchill who was commander in chief of all the british empire including canadian and south african and australian and new zealand only one man could persuade winston churchill to back off to get with the program that he agreed to formally a couple months before that d-day should take place on the first of may 1944 come hell or high water and then it surprised me as much a as anything to be whit

and certainly from churchill's memoirs of the second world war. and he waited five days after d-day and that and then left us in the hedgerows for 30 days. >> so that is why my father over two and half months lost 600 of his men in casualty. with my three brothers taken at age five and six and seven and eight to normandy every summer to camp overlooking the beaches. and my father hardly ever talked about it. and then going right into germany at the temporary brigadier at age 26 and never forgot how tough it was in normandy and to this day i find it very difficult after writing so much about world war ii i still don't understand how 1 million german troops fighting in normandy fighting and then dying there. and with those casualties. you have to be an anthropologist to understand that. and look at what is going on at headquarters. to be the greatest a story biographer. so how to maintain after the spring of 1944 how was it he was able to command such fierce loyalty to the japanese in the pacific right to the very end of the war? to the ruins of ber

churchill mentioned it, roosevelt mentioned it. stalin's biographers mention it. -- i pulled all of that stuff together. one of my resources was the memoirs of mike riley, who was the head of the white house service. the secret essentially, he was roosevelt's bodyguard. and he was there. he was in and out of tehran. he was on the ground during this whole operation. he knew a lot and mentioned a locked in his memoirs. got -- let me give you one example. there was one particular german operative, franz meyer. he was the ss guy, the ss station chief , if you will, in iran before the war and as the war began. i sort of picked up all the little threads that mentioned him. the memoirs of the station chief for the advair in iran at that time. he writes a lot about franz meyer. i am putting all of that together. also this guy who was at the polish embassy, he ended up teaching at berkeley. he wrote a lot about that period. he mentions meyer. i am using franz meyer as an example because two weeks ago, i email, people send me emails occasion

so, eisenhower and churchill approved this mission, and although eisenhower tried to keep himself away from the details, didn't want to -- wanted to have plausible deniability about things, and but it gets the approval at the highest levels, and the project gets a green light. and the place where they choose based on the diagrams they found is in this east german almost like a village really in the far south of berlin, right in southeastern corner of the american sector, the place where they feel they can reach the soviet cables, the three trunk lines in particular, with the least possibility of being exposed. the biggest problem was what are they going to do because it's going to be a quarter mile long tunnel. higher than the empire state building is tall. so what will they do with all this soil? and the idea they actually eventually come up with is to instead of trucking it away which would have been a clear giveway to the soviet and east german guards on the other side of sector border, they just built a big warehouse on top of the site where they're going to dig the tunnel, and the

i guess i'm going to answered this question by staying who not today so much but manchester news churchill. and robert haro and massey news, on russia. these we're enormously fluid juul for me and shared me i guess halverson would be there is it too. shared me what the history could be i guess and what that was to me was notably good stories good storytelling but also coupled with a lesson if you will for the reader. a meaning. your delivering the character and mean what is his name. what difference does it make to this person or this war or this kingdom or anything else. and i just always felt that history should be a really entertaining think to read and there is no reason why it couldn't be. i think there was something, you mentioned bullet by bullet. i never heard that before the bullet by bullet, it is certainly, i like to read it. it is a different kind of history. it is staying and excessive focus on the trees in expense of the forest and there is a fair amount of that going on. not mentioning any people.

extend then does this mean that churchill's horses will cooperate with secular authorities like police investigations so church authorities are obligated in brain simple to collaborate with national authorities only in those countries were mandatory reporting of crimes is actually an obligation that's for instance not the case in germany that's not the case you need to lee and there are various reasons why it's not it's the national law what this change does is actually permits it opens the gates for open reporting even in those cases when it's not mandatory so it's not very clear how is it that it will ultimately be applied or will be enforced at the level of parishes and at the level of priests. and that it is in terms of policy a massive change so this sounds like it will be easy to bring offenders to justice i would not be too quick with that because one of the broken stud we have with the church as an institution is not merely the reporting of course there are people with good intentions that are very much willing to bring out thirty's that have not been able to do it under penalt

we at churchill have done middle-market clo's.here will be room for formation which is a positive thing. lisa: you said you think the first quarter will be active , in particular with sponsors bringing deals to market. why? randy: i thought we would coast into the end of the year, spending a nice holiday season. but the deal flow has never been higher, and i think in part talking sponsors, there is a little nervousness about next year in the second half relative to political risk and concerns. my sense is they are trying to get a jump on 2020. the pipeline we are seeing now is geared towards january and february closings. it means they want to make up in time for what could be a slow second half or less certain. lisa: you are talking about financing for lbo's. randy: it is refinancing, new platforms, add-ons and we are seeing the full range of those deals. lisa: how are the structures of those deals? are they seeing things getting frothy? randy: we are pushing back on behalf of our investors because things are getting frothy. the
