churchill was an ardent free trader. we also was being focus on the need for social reform, especially to alleviate the deplorable conditions in britain's industrial cities. in 1904. he dramatically crossed the floor of the house of commons and joined the liberal party. he would be a liberal for the next 20 years before he managed to then rejoin the conservative party. churchill once said anyone can rat that is joined jump from one political party to another but he added it takes a certain amount of ingenuity to rewrap. he pulled it off barely. though he's supposed to have once remarked that because the conservative party have always hated me. if jumping parties was wasn't bad enough churchill compounded the anger of his first while conservative friends by choosing to decide the man. they most detested on the liberal benches david lloyd george. this is the beginning of a political friendship that lasted the better part of 40 years between one man race in a poor welsh cottage and another born in a palace. violet asked wit

churchill seem to be everywhere.rliament, inspecting military units, and the newspapers, on radio, and not least in the streets. the historian richard ovary said of 1940 that it is one of those instances when the hour fanned the man. churchill made the british people believed they could win the war, andhis is backed up by a canadian eyewitness who was in london at the time and said that he reported a connection between the people and their prime minister. he wrote that churchill makes them feel they are living their history. theyue despite the fact that they had warned it off invasion at least for the time being the british people were then on the front line for that long year with no end in sight to the war and little hope of victory londoners in many cases did find shelter in the london underground two at night only to wake up the next morning to scenes like this. one in itself was bombed for 76 nights in a row. during one of the worst rays on the 29th of december london's fire brigades literally ran out of water f

churchill was not a bad student. he simply did not take any interest in subjects that didn't tracked him. it is true, however, that he was put in what is called the lowest form, the lowest class, at harrow. the younger churchill earned further rebuke from his father when he passed an entrance exam at the military academy at san hearst, only after the third try. in one of his most stinging letters, lord randall said his son, that he risked becoming a mere social wasteful, whose life would degenerate into a shabby, unhappy, and futile existence. he then signed, your affectionate father, randolph. it is evident that winston never had any desire to make the military a lifelong career. and his goal was to distinguish himself in the army, on the battlefield, and then entered politics at his father side. by the time churchill had left his father's career was already in eclipse. a few years earlier, it seemed that randolph churchill might someday become prime minister. a young conservative minister parliament, he led a group

each other churchill set of bevin that he had the right stuff in him churchill needed to recreate a war economy and that job mainly fell to bevin during the nightly raids and later in the war during the v1 and v2 attacks on southern england. it was bevin who mobilized not just all men but women to wage the war women were conscripted in world war two other churchill's government. they can either sir in the land army. they could work in the war factories or they could join the forces. as it was called and it worked. and that was largely down to bevin himself which churchill rightly gave credit to for that feat. from january 1941 until the us entered the war really in december that year churchill's war strategy boiled down to three words keep buggering on. the best that he could expect was to keep the war against hitler alive until the americans somehow joined the struggle that included bombing german cities. um, but there's no really foreseeable or realistic. hope that the british could take the war back into europe any foreseeable future. the churchill did create the commandos as i m

finally, the ghost despite himself, looks at churchill and he says, churchill. he says, winston, the story you told me is amazing. i would not believe it if it had not come from you. after a pause he says, you could have done quite a bit to help matters. you could've gone into politics. but then he pauses again. and he looks at churchill and he says, but you are too old for that now. and at that, churchill looked over at him as he goes to a match to light a cigarette and disappears. the ghost was gone. and churchill rounded off the article with an attempt at wit, saying that he could not carry on the rest of the day because the ashes of his cigar had fallen into his paints. it is an amazing story. it is a revealing story. that after all those years, after all the accolades, after being prime minister when his father had not and after leading his country through a world war, after receiving a nobel prize for literature, none of that seems to matter. in his own heart, he still wanted most the recognition from his father. fortunately for us, fortunately for us, he

so churchill was admired. he had won the war for them, but they did not believe he was going to win the peace and that largely explains election defeat for churchill that many americans still have a hard time wrapping their heads around. now out of office with aptly at potsdam instead churchill was leader of the opposition. and with the dropping of the atomic bomb the ending of a war britain faced a new future this cartoon again by david low, i think sums up many feelings about churchill as a party leader. he could be very disagreeable as a statesman. he had been in the words of david lowe here leader of humanity after the war churchill embarked on his war memoirs. he would be reelected in 1951 to to again be prime minister in between he warned the west of the coming cold war in his famous speech at fulton, missouri in which he used the image of the iron curtain to sending across europe. the speech was not well received time. there are many critics of it in both the united states and britain. they felt that th

fulton speech, churchill's no.on. that's what i say sometimes. i think that churchill directly called for the lowering of the iron curtain. no, he said, he spoke more, so to speak, tactfully. he said put down everything who lowered it there was a question. but of course, churchill thought, and the americans thought that it was the russians who did it, and they put all the blame on the soviet and on stalin. i do not want to say that the ussr was not to blame for anything at all. he, so that he was white fluffy and so on, it is obvious that everyone contributed to the beginning of the cold war in breaking the friendly ties that were during the era of the anti-hitler coalition, but it seems to me that it was the americans and westerners who added fuel to the fire, first of all, and this caused the soviet leadership to distrust them. this i mean, and let's say negotiations with hitler since the forty-fifth year, and what they once said in the film 17 moments of spring and churchill's plan is unthinkable in the spring o

to what extent churchill did not trust the soviet union, to what extent winston churchill feared the of the influence of the soviet union and the fact that the eastern part of europe would be subordinated to the ussr and communist regimes would arise there, here is churchill’s attitude towards the ussr to the joint withdrawal of hostilities and even during but at a time when the anti-hitler coalition fought the third rake in forty-third in forty-four in forty-five, it was looked through quite weighty, roughly visible, and it differed, say, from the position of us president franklin delan roosevelt, who even criticized churchill and said that winston churchill thinks too much about what will happen after the war, and now the priority task. first of all, to defeat the germans. that's to keep the victory over hitler by his allies. and as you can see already, well, it has just ended, the second world war has not yet begun, even the hostilities against japan in the far east and the british had already connected and began to develop, and the operation against the e-e of the armed forces of

reagan liked to quote churchill -- he and churchill had parallel thoughts about nuclear weapons. churchill in the late 1940's or early 50's said, the west had a monopoly on nuclear weapons and world. not use it to conquer the is there any doubt if the russians had a monopoly on weapons, they would use her conquest? reagan said the same thing in the 1960's. most famously in a debate with robert kennedy, whom he clobbered. you can see their thought patterns ran alike. john: we started this tangent on churchill by talking about reagan's writing style. it is one of the things you get into, the similarities between the men. both of writing and preparation for speeches, from moments like that. explain the parallels. steven: yes. on the speechmaking, churchill wrote his own speeches. reagan wrote more than people think. but the speechwriters will always say it was easy to write for him. we just looked at what he said before and updated it. he would make a lot of changes. above all, they both practiced their speeches. i don't know if they did it in front of a mirror, but they always rehe

churchill will write. st paul's students and staff have relocated to the countryside for the duration of the war for ago. let me transform the empty building of gothic victorian design with peaked roofs, stained glass and chimneys everywhere, and 153 hammersmith road into personal headquarters for the purpose of planning the invasion of france. the headmaster's house is now personal quarters. monty organized today's event down to the minute each officer takes a seat on the hard wooden benches more often by teenage schoolboys. the is broken. no one takes off their coat, primitive churchill sits in the more comfortable front row of next to the stage in padded armchairs reserved for himself. montgomery, american general dwight eisenhower and no less than great sovereign king george, the today's presentation is top secret. no cameras or press eisenhower. eisenhower will later joke that nazi german dictator adolf hitler could have killed every tough american and british with a single, well-placed. but the invas

churchill constantly and debts. churchill constantly and vast sums and even more.t sums and even more. and boris seems to have actually no concept of how to keep control his private finances and is now going to come and haunt him. this is a fascinating comparison . i suppose all we being to harsh here, if we look to historic comparisons, winston churchill course famously not with his own money, but so was disraeli. of course , had had disraeli. of course, had had financial problems. and going even back further pits, the younger had enormous financial problems personally , although problems personally, although with the country's finances , he with the country's finances, he was really quite good and finance the napoleonic wars and incredible way. i wonder if we can make a separation here between the personal mess. as we've seen in many prime ministers of history and a different in a professional life . well, i suppose boris, which you could, but unfortunately he was turfed out of office for lying had . that's the problem he lying had. that's the problem he now face

churchill thought the same thing.there's an old-fashioned tyranny that had been thrown off or it will collapse. >> host: ronald reagan quoted winston churchill one of the many times january 1981. here's what he had to say. >> can we solve the problems confronting us the answer is an unequivocal and emphatic yes to paraphrase winston. churchill, i didn't take the oath i've just taken with the intention of presiding over the dissolution of the world's strongest economy. the original quote was i think it went i didn't become the first minister to provide over the liquidation of the british empire which actually happened anyway but is a whole separate story. reagan use to like to quote churchill. there was a monopoly of the weonand we didn't use it. is there any doubt that if the russians had a monopoly for conquest reagan said the same thing in the mid-1960s. he clobbered kennedy but at any case you can see the thought patterns were alike. we started this by talking about the writing style and it's one of the things you

lincoln churchill both roosevelts to golf and in particular churchill.y parents were world war ii generation and talked about it a lot. so that's why ended up writing about churchill. i knew a lot about him already and what i learned about a better way to approach the understanding of critical life. since that book came out in 1997 best for 25 years this year you come out with m. stanton evans conservative whip. you write in the book that this s book is why stan evans matters. why does stan evans met her? >> dearer series of pretty good short biographies on why orwell matters in a rented matters. although stan died seven or eight years ago and it's unknown but the younger generation if you were of the reagan buckley era and all of us are aging out now stand was a hugely important figure. as a journalist and asrt a thinr of some profundity and as an actor. you combined all those rows that were kept separate and finally as a historian. his last book was a pretty serious vindication of joe mccarthy which is thought to be beyond the pale. he was everybody's

churchill on -- "churchill on leadership: executive success in the face of adversity". >> guest: i wastuck in a leadership seminar that i didn't like very much but he kept mentioning churchill. i will come back to that shortly. at the end, you ought to write a book about his leadership style. such books were bestsellers. >> host: claremont in graduate school, one of the principal thoughts is the best way to learn about politics is biography. especially bhies of lincoln, churchill, both roosevelts, but in particular churchill which i found interesting, my parents were of the world war generation talked about him a lot. that is why i wrote about churchill, i knew about him already. what i learned about, better ways to approach it. that book coming out in 1997, fast forward 25 years. this year you come out with conservative what, you write this book had been called why stand evans matters. why does stan evans matter? >> guest: the reason i said that, there are short biographies of people, i thought he deserved biography. although stan died 7 or 8 years ago, already being forgotten by a yo

franklin roosevelt, winston churchill and joseph stalin.e tale of their first meeting and a possible nazi plot meant to change the course of history. >> reporter: without warning, by air, by land and water, the most terrible of all blitzkrieg so far, nazi forces everyone holland, belgium and luxembourg. 1943, hitler's army mired in the brutal conditions of the eastern front in russia is finally showing some cracks. >> even in these days when news is changing so greatly to our advantage, it's wise not to underrate germany's strength. >> reporter: to coordinate strategy essential to turning the tide with the fate of the free world hanging in the balance fdr, churchill and stalin planned their first ever face-to-face meeting. why was a summit so important? >> this is the moment where the big three have to get on the same page. they got to discustroop mome strategy and morale. >> reporter: when the nazis learn of the summit they hatch an audacious plan. >> kill fdr and stalin and churchill, a triple assassination that is going to change the cou

there's a marvelous insight from churchill on this. he said that the british people -- or the american people -- "can face any misfortune with fortitude or buoyancy as long as they are convinced that those who are in charge of their affairs are not deceiving them or are not themselves dwelling in a fool's paradise." really interesting two-pronged test, right? we want to be sure our leaders aren't lying to us, but we also want to be sure they're not lying to themselves. and so i think that what the roosevelt-churchill world showed us was, "give it to us straight, and we'll do what it takes." >> i mean, you say one of the lessons is being straightforward, and you can't help but notice growing skepticism, especially amongst republicans, of providing continued financial and military support for ukraine. is the key for president biden and american leadership to continue being straightforward or to be more straightforward about the cost of this conflict? >> absolut-- just lay it out. absolutely. this is the oldest kind of power struggle in a

ah, once the world was saved, churchill changed his mind. any attempt by the soviets to compete against the anglo saxons had to be crushed forever. the usaa has to be eliminated immediately. general george s. patton, commander of the u. s. 3rd. army demands that the troops do not stop at the elbow, but move on toward stalingrad with on june 29th. 1945 stone. and who already knows about the operation orders. marshall shook off to move troops to combat positions in the west. mm. it is now clear to the allies that a surprise attack is no longer possible then charger. the conclusion. he died in creek scotland and started our mobility. tut, dean di trend annoyed the buffalo chapter genie chavo my story in not iceland. yeah too, but some of our vans conte, starting in for october eastern. does she east austin bus mafia dar on charges? are you had that been anything for me? tom was in the info on these as garbage b. like and dish. divest mr. that's enough. we're no longer interested in a union with the russians, so we don't have to abide by the agr

churchill back in april 1945, that is, the war was still over . allies are still allies.s not yet been defeated yes, but churchill has already worked out these possible options. recall that winston churchill was the author of the plan of the unthinkable , it was assumed that atomic bombs would be dropped on the main cities of the soviet union, moscow and leningrad in the first place. at the same time, churchill planned that the bombs would be dropped by the americans, for which he dreamed to push the usa and the ussr, of course, the soviet union remained the main enemy after the second world war for the usa, while it is very important to remember. uh, alas, these people do not understand that the main enemy of the united states of america after the first world war. it was great britain that we u tell. that's what fascist germany it was like, but terrible and terrible. it was terrible and terrible no doubt, but the struggle was fought primarily between great britain and the united states of america after the end of the war and after the political changes that took place in

churchill wrote glowingly about chaplin's early work as an entertainer during churchill's own early daysas a journalist. churchill, in fact, was a frequent flyer in the chaplin orbit, visiting him in hollywood and meeting with him during chaplin's various trips back to the uk. but conservatives beyond churchill could have found more to like about chaplin had they've been looking more carefully for things to like about his work. in many of his films, chaplin's character is a striving capitalist figure trying with all his might to find and keep a job in difficult circumstances. in many of the tramps films, chaplin's character is trying very hard to escape poverty by his wits and find a way to settle down in a conventional marriage with a secure, one might even say suburban, dream of financial security. in modern times of 1936, which has my vote for the most interesting film to consider in this conversation about chaplin's politics, the little tramp runs off to apply for a job every time that he hears a factory is hiring. he even pushes his way to the front of the line to make sure that he

hmm, there is no mass in the historical consciousness . understand churchill england did not win thend world war england great britain lost the second world war to its main rival. uh, well, or the united states of america exactly, then uh at a conference in the poddam. uh, the american president of romania for the first time announced the presence of a nuclear bomb in the united states of america, which certainly changed the balance and balance of power in them. and between washington and moscow, truman understood that he had such a trump card that no one else had and that thanks to this trump card, very many very many agreements that were concluded in tehran. in yalta, you can not comply, and therefore, so many witnesses describe how stalin reacted when he told him that the americans had tested atomic weapons. uh, well, you could say it's one of the pinnacles. e such an external diplomatic activity. that's because, uh, he showed how much he can control himself and didn't show any excitement. you and i know that almost immediately after the end of this meeting, all the latest. what i

this disengagement, the administration of the last viceroy, lord mount betton, whose tenure as churchill's government led to the split of the disintegration of its formerly unified indian colony into two warring states, moreover, one of the reasons that the british government insisted on was to give pakistan a separate independence from india was what was believed to be the indian national congress. he is influenced by stalin and stalin the soviet union through india can get access to the warm seas to the indian ocean, and so on. need need an angry dog ​​something similar happened from ukraine despite the fact that the difference between india and pakistan is religious. for example it has always been obvious, and between and e, russia and ukraine , there was no such difference until very recently . in fact, i support your main thesis, which is that, in fact, the entire path of independence of ukraine since the ninety-first year. this is the path of betrayal. this is the path of betrayal, because the independence of ukraine could to be deployed in different directions, there were opportunit

joseph stalin in yalta he said, referring to franklin and ubun churchil. yes, of course, as long as we are all alive, we are afraid. we will not allow anything dangerous differences between us we will not allow that instead of a new aggression against any of our countries, but decades will pass, maybe less years, and we will disappear a new generation will come that has not gone through everything that we have experienced that many questions will probably be looked at differently than we will then we seem to set ourselves the goal of securing peace for at least 50 years to come. stalin wanted to better, but less than a year after the victory of the allies over germany, churchill's speech was made in the american town of feet on march 5, 1946, the official date of the announcement of the cold war against the ussr and the north atlantic alliance is soon being created military bloc nato countries founders usa great britain france italy portugal netherlands denmark norway belgium iceland bourque and canada in response the new soviet leader nikita khrushchev cr

in washington, what do you think ruslan, well, you know, everyone terribly wants to be known as churchills. yes, because it is so beautiful, yes, and so wonderful, heritage and such a wonderful pr and no one wants to be branded as a chamberlain, because it's terrible. this is the munich agreement, this is what appeasing the aggressor. look, what ended for some reason, no one wants to think where the attempts were born and plotted them, by the way, at the initial stage, the first world war did not block. the bloodbath turned into a terrible drama, in which millions of people died and the european continent was horrified, so people made every effort to get out of this war. here we are now already in this situation of escalation we've been here for 11 months. and as some observers notice there in different ways. uh, the calculations of the caribbean crisis was 13-14 days, and rolled back. now it seems that most people live. here in this you know, uh, twitter tik-tok paradigm. it should be very beautiful and bright to say on television. you need to make a very nice meme. yes, and the fact that
