i typed in drew pearson and up popped at least a half dozen memorandum from churchill. furious, totally outraged that some of his top secret telegrams were appearing verbatim in the wash merry go round. if pearson had operated out of london, he would have violated the official secrets act and been prosecuted bust in washington he was protected by the first amendment. in 1944, the column revealed that churchill had ordered the british commander in greece to suppress public protests in athens, and not to hesitate to fire openly on the demonstrators. as i tracked this story back, it turned out that churchill himself bore responsibility for the leak. he had dictated the cable so late at night that his exhausted secretary had typed top secret at the top but had forgot the type guard which was the signal that this message should not be shown to the americans. so instead, it went out through american channels and american officials were offended by the thought that u.s. tanks might be used against greek civilians and they leaked the document to the columnist. now, pearson brok

now, churchill was himself a devoted student to history. his research for his multivolume biography of his ancestors, john churchill, first duke, likely confirmed his military thinking as prime minister during world war ii. churchill was also a fierce critic of socialism in his time. and that's the main point of my remarks today -- talking about socialism. socialism, as we know it today, is based upon a different view of history than what churchill had. a history that says we're headed in a particular direction, and you just need to see where it is heading to, quote-unquote, be on the right side of history. socialism was thought to be the wave of the future in churchill's time, just as it was the wave of the future when karl marx was writing about it in the mid1800's. in fact, a wave is an apt analogy for socialism. enthusiasm for socialism has crested and then crashed down many, many times in the last couple of centuries. today some enthusiasts are again riding high on this socialism wave. some of them are too young to know better, while o

he sounds like winston churchill. we will never give up. we will keep fighting.at former president trump is giving. you know, there's some things -- if you bear with me -- that we do know that are important about what went on in this period. the cia director appointed by trump on november 10 -- this is about a week after the election and one of the things trump did is fire secretary of defense esper and put somebody in who is going to be a trump loyalist. this is remarkable. she was 35 years as a case officer. very, very tough reputation. said the following, we quote her on november 10. yesterday was appalling, when esper was fired. we are on the way to a right wing coup. the whole thing is insanity. trump is acting like a 6-year-old with a tantrum. then later when they have a meeting on iran and trump seems interested in conducting strikes, she says, this is a highly dangerous situation. we are going to lash out for his ego? you have the professional cia director who is in the business of assessing instability, unstable leaders, saying what i'm quoting. >> bob,

i love the winston churchill quote. gentlemen, we are out of money, now it is time to think. that's the type ofties plin we need at the pentagon, not just to give them a blank check every time they ask. the president's budget is sufficient to meet our needs. i urge support of the amendment. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expire the gentlewoman from california reserves. the gentleman from alabama is recognized mr. rogers: at this time i would like to yield a minute and a half to a real leader on the armed services committee, the ranking member of the sea power subcommittee, mr. wittman of virginia. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized mr. wittman: thank you, mr. speaker, thank you, republican leader. similar to the previous amendment, i believe this amendment is extremely misguided. in fact, in march 24 of this year, i invited both ms. lee and mr. pocan to attend a classified brief on the existential threats we face in great power competition. mr. speaker, instead of taking me up on that offer, they continue to turn a blind eye. the chairs of

the end of 1940, churchill informed roosevelt that cash and carry wasn't going to work anymore. the british were running out of cash. it still needed aid from the united states, but it couldn't afford to pay cash anymore. it was going to be unable to do that much longer. this created a dilemma for fdr. cash and carry policy had, at least in theory, perfectly fit american public opinion. now it won't work. what do you do instead? how do you compensate for this problem? fdr came up with something called the lend lease bill. that would allow him as president to provide military aid to any country's defense he determined was vital to u.s. security. the president gets to decide this. what's vital to u.s. security? think about the neutrality legislation which was basically meant to control what the president was allowed to do, restrict what the president was allowed to do. this is going in the exact opposite direction. now the president gets to decide for himself what vital interests are and who deserves american aid as a result of that. the idea was that the united states would lend

and i think that reminded me of winston churchill chauvinists. they can races a 6 volume, the history of the english speaking peoples or something like that. or there's no explanation. why are the u. s. and the u. k. now, at this time, hoping australia develop a nuclear power. good morning, mr. and then turning around in advance to be well, she's, she's among the people's, i mean, you can tell how more like it actually was drawn by the fact that went by the spoke about the relationship between the u. s. u. k. and australia. and how that relationship is developed over the last century. he only reference lawrence, i'm honored to be angry. clearly this is another one, was about a war compared against china. we have to do all that. we try to prevent it because it would be total insanity for the people who china been for the people of the world with unknowable consequences. by keep building up, you know, we're talking in your segment about people going without food, not having adequate foods. and yet hundreds of billions, trillions of dollars is being

policy based on that close relationship with the united states pretty much since world war ii and churchillin but i don't think we should delude ourselves, you know, and be defeatist into american isolationism. it is not isolationism, but it is certainly a moment where america, as you rightly say, under the last three presidents, and actually, had it not been for 9/11, probably the last four presidents, would have had a roughly similar trajectory of gradual withdrawal from the world. the fashion now, conventional wisdom is that the politicians have messed it up, partly because there is such sympathy and such empathy with soldiers and former soldiers like yourself, people are not critical of the military. is it not reasonable to say that actually, the british military lost? they lost in helmand, in southern iraq. they did not succeed in libya, they did not succeed in syria. in fact, there has not a real british military success for an awfully long time? imean... i'm not going to tell you there were no military mistakes. there were plenty. and i can start... ..start at the top and work down,
