churchill, the church of england. the episcopal church had split off from the church of england after the american revolution. but the liturgy and the hands are very similar. so they had this very emotional service, uplifting service on the deck of the of prince of wales that august. well, not only were all these these bases falling and not only was the carnage in the north atlantic continuing, but hms prince of wales itself had been sunk just three days after pearl harbor. it was the first time that air power alone had sunk a capital battleship on the open ocean. and over 300 of the same men that roosevelt and churchill had worshiped with that august had died when that ship went down. so it was it was a time of tremendous stress. but the the faith that was exhibited that day was was remarkable. and i'm sure it had a lot to do with the the morale and unity that america and the british people had throughout throughout the war is very interesting, the way that the service was handled by the church itself. the secret ser

and it was churchill in the military, of course it was churchill and in intelligence and it was churchill in the royal family. finally it was churchill in buddies, which was the most delightful of all, you know, about how the club that he started himself. the other club think it was called his but as you can see andrew's obviously just a prodigious historian biographer. he's also really a delightful, quintessential brit. i want to note as well that he was not baron of belgravia when i signed on with him. i was i was not a royal groupie or. no, no groupie or something like this. this came along, i think, really, he had signed me up to be i, i will know that he has of the more needy constituencies in in the house of lords. belgrave as many of you will know, known for his beautiful white townhouses, only problem is that about a third of the lights don't come on anymore at night because the owners are all stuck in moscow. since invaded. and while i'm this role, let me also say what you're going to be back here at the at the national churchill leadership, having actually done the very first ev

it turns out, churchill never said that at all. according to the international churchill society.exas governor greg abbott treated this meme with a churchill quote about fascists. the thing is, churchill never said that either. abbott actually deleted that tweet, but then he defended the message behind it. in 2022, when george santos was accused of misconduct after being elected, his layer cited winston churchill about why it is good to have enemies. political fact traced that quote back to its actual author, who is victor hugo. even queen elizabeth ii, who actually knew churchill personally, she got it wrong too. >> winston churchill, my first prime minister, said that the further backwards you look, the further forward you can see. >> the actual quote is, the longer you can look back, the farther you can look forward. similar, but not quite the same. now, churchill is not alone in this. abe lincoln, mark twain, and oscar wilde have the distinction of being the most credited with fake quote. so just remember, in the words of abraham lincoln, you cannot believe everything you read

>> churchill. >> churchill. >> churchill. >> churchill was white. >> churchill was white. >> george black actor playing george washington or or or napoleon? no of course you wouldn't. and what would you have? a white actor playing indira gandhi the longest serving prime minister of india? no of course you wouldn't. it makes a mockery of the whole history. and if it was some total fiction that you were trying to sort of make a film or a programme about, then absolutely fine. i don't have a problem with that . um, and, you problem with that. um, and, you know, if you've got a black personality history, like personality in history, like indira gandhi or, you know , indira gandhi or, you know, there are many, many others you could look at luther king, you could look at luther king, you could look at mandela . i know could look at mandela. i know there was some race elements in there was some race elements in there know , there background, but you know, there background, but you know, the whole of perverting the whole idea of perverting history in that way, i think is flawed and fiction

churchill isn't alone in this., mark twain and oscar wilde have the distinction of being the most credited with fake quotes. just remember, in the words of abraham lincoln, you can't believe everything you read online. that's a joke. abe hlincoln never said that. >>> up next, more from laura coates' exclusive interview with kamala harris. we're back in a moment.

sure that you are not afraid to share responsibility, well, it has always been the same, winston churchill took during the second world war, it seems to be the idol of volodymyr zelenskyi and boris johnson, boris joshanets wrote a book, i could tell him, a whole range of unpopular decisions , but like winston churchill became the prime minister of great britain because the conservatives, who had a majority in parliament, said, you know, if it started. war, we need a government of national unity, we invite you labor, you have no votes, to enter this government, but boryst said, we will enter, but please, your party leader, nevel chamberlain, who led to this situation, let him sit on deputies, he cannot be prime minister in the country of national unity, because he made mistakes, and then they asked, so what let us have this winston churchill, let him head the government. he means absolutely nothing to us, nothing to us, nothing to you, just a compromise figure, and that's how chertel became the prime minister of great britain, not because he was a great national leader, but because he was n

churchill quotes.o hear a fake story about trump meeting winston churchill. "when i first saw him, i thought he was an old baby." they want to hear trump gossip about b-list celebrities he met in the '80s and his various comedy routines about toilets that don't flush and rich guys who love rockets if trump ever does get convicted of a crime, at least he'll crush at the prison talent show. he's already got material that will kill with an audience of white-collar criminals >> al capone -- alphonse capone, if you smiled at him in the wrong way, he'd kill you he was only indicted one time. i got four >> seth: it's like trump is writing his comedy bits for a prison audience. "you know they got al capone on tax evasion. that's a crime that puts you pretty low on the prison pecking order. there's only one thing lower than tax evasion hiding classified documents in the bathroom this guy knows what i'm talking about. not my finest hour, folks. i wish i had shot someone on fifth avenue then at least i'd have som

churchill, as you'll in the movie. and he the entire royal air force bomber command 800 plus to fly from england over panama and on the north central german baltic coast and bomb the secret base there. they do so, causing great havoc, great casualties. and it causes the nazi rocket project to go underground down into central germany and southern germany in the hearts mountains and in the four alps. and why is this so important this evening? because general eisenhower, our when asked the war about the importance of the raid on panama, india said it delayed the german rocket program six months in august of 1943. is the raid if that raid had occurred when it did, the germans would have had literally thousands of these v rockets going into the ports in southern england where the invasion fleet was gathered south hampton, plymouth, etc. . and those young men you saw in the first slide going on the troop ships to get ready to go onto the troop ships and landing boats would have been fish in a barrel. they would have beenen s

but at the time when he was elected , he was not, but churchill shared his political responsibility withhe labor leader kliment mettle, who became his deputy, and this was the essence that he could not be afraid to make political decisions, firstly, because that he did not think about the rating of the conservatives, he was not their leader, their leader was little, well, for a long time, not a long time, but he was, well, and then when cherzi himself became a conservative leader, he knew in any case that he shared this responsibility with clement attlee, and when he went abroad, clement attlee sat in his chair, the leader, the government, while his party didn't have a majority, and they held a general election after the war, and in that election attlee beat churchill, because it turned out that for most british people a wartime leader couldn't be a peacetime leader, so it turned out, nobody even knew that, but it matters, it doesn't, it seems to me that no, the main thing is that great britain won, yes. and churchill once returned to office there, he might not have returned at all, ther

i'm talking about a whether a black actor churchill. what actor can play churchill.uld you think that that would work? well, ask these two work? well, i'll ask these two actually think a black actor actually do think a black actor garamond could actually do think a black actor garaichurchill could actually do think a black actor garaichurchill a could actually do think a black actor garaichurchill a simple ould actually do think a black actor garaichurchill a simple word? play churchill in a simple word? >> no. i think that because churchill was figure churchill was a figure in history and everybody knows he was white, i think audiences would expect him, the actor, to be white. on the other hand, if you had a fictional story, uh, something that never really happened, i'd be far more relaxed. uh, as to the colour of the skin or anything else, frankly, about the actual actress question . actress in question. >> i'm looking forward to your monologue uh, my monologue on it, but, uh, my view no, i mean, it's view is that. no, i mean, it's just black just absurd to have a

winston churchill, the british e books of adolf hitler, winston churchill's books were in principle banned from prisoner of war comes, for instance but he often signed himself as winston spencer churchill, and they got through in grounds. and the ones that then missed out were books by the american winston churchill, who found his books being banned from prisoner of war accounts for being somebody quite different. on the other hand in britain the reading of mein was positively encouraged. the first full translation of hitler's mein come until 1939, after much earlier translation abridged, which didn't really show full danger and horror of what hitler was saying. and this full was published both as book form and in a magazine form in 18 x, and i found a full set of this at the book fair in september. i'd never seen it before and. they simply cut up the clause of the books and then put them in these covers. to the extent that. one. the second installment actuallyends in mid-sentence, because it's just going on to the next page, which you'll find in issue number three. now this the insoucianc

zelensky says: “what is this, this is churchill’s chair ".nsky asks, is it possible? he answers: “no, you can’t.” says that zelensky has slipped into authoritarianism, yes, that ukraine is going in the wrong direction, that they stood for the wrong thing on maidan, well, in principle, zelensky himself, just the other day in his interview, he said that as he said, yes, here’s a quote: i make all decisions in ukraine, i’ll just remind you that according to the constitution, ukraine is a parliamentary-presidential republic, yes, that is, all decisions must be made by the parliament, the president is only only a guarantor of the constitution, that was exactly the moment when he felt like napoleon, and not churchel, when he said this, well, most likely... the servant of the people already felt like the master of the people, yes, that is, maybe they didn’t bring the pills another portion, and he felt, that is, and others say even worse about him, that is, we heard lavrov, he says that zelensky terrorism is really terror, what zelensky is doing, no

you go online, and you see a bunch of fake quotes to churchill in lincoln. so it doesn't surprise me that his team probably went online and found a fake quote and ran with it. because he just, he was terrible live with people. he seemed more at home online. >> this is a guy who is not great in retail politics at all. we've got a lot of crunchy moments from ron desantis that will play on our next hour. but what do you think, simon? what was desantis going for with his campaign closer today that actually, a, is not a strategy, nor is it a real quote from winston churchill? >> it does speak, both of you alluded to it. it does speak to the collapse of the republican party, right? i mean, this is become a performative extreme party, something that feels unlike a traditional political party in the west. it's really become against getting on fox news every night, exciting a few million people that get, you know, agitated from the kind of performative right-wing politics we see, and it really speaks to the fact that in the united states today, we have two parties. o

churchill lived from his writing for 40 years before he became prime minister.piese real intellectualm turns out to be stalin, who, as a child readwas a published poet by the 18 age of 18. had he become a revolutionary, he intended become an academic. imagine how the world would have changed had that been the case. but of them were outpaced in their productiony chairman mao and this famous little book the little red book. hose of us may remember a time when the little red was dutedo anyone who would write a polite message to the to the chinese embassy. and i was a schoolboy boarding school then and many, many people because ithing to do. and so we had lots of these things lying around. but this was publishedyn every language of the globe, just about of up to billion of copies. so this waby far the most influential book of the of the century, really, in of its reach. so helped create all sorts of communist insurgencies all over the world. well, i just want start with a glance that he was also, i should say, librarian. so he's a only. onlyf them who who did this h

to be told in the context of information warfare, that's how he acts, he says, the chair is worth churchilla decision, and zelensky sits down into the chair, he says, you feel something, you felt like churchill, everyone laughed, zerensky says, something i, something i really feel in myself, you talked about preparing for war, what mistakes did he make? one thing i think he learned the hard way is not to rely too much on some of the western allies. so reliable, everyone has their own interests, in exactly a month ukraine will cross the two-year line of war, now ukrainian politicians are fighting on many fronts, including including fighting western war fatigue. if the money in the west runs out, what kind of money does ukraine have?

desantis quoted churchill as saying, success is not final. failure is not fatal. it is the courage to continue that counts. but experts say there's no record of churchill saying those words. >> a dangerous ice storm is impacting the morning commute for millions of americans. half an inch of ice could coat everything this morning, from oklahoma to arkansas all the way to chicago. crews have been racing to restore electricity and water in parts of tennessee and alabama. people in memphis could be boiling their water until thursday due to pipes bursting in the frigid weather. slippery road conditions caused this truck here to lose control in pennsylvania, the winter conditions this month are now blamed for at least 72 deaths nationwide. we will check your forecast coming up in just a few minutes. >> weeks after a door plug fell off, an alaska airlines plane mid-flight, the faa is now recommending visual inspections of another boeing model. officials now want operators of the 737 900 air to make sure the door plugs are properly secured because they have the same door

churchill, and held negotiations with the soviet union.ortant from the point of view of the formation of a future coalition, that is, it was clear that the british probably already understood then that not immediately, not suddenly, not now, but the battle near moscow meant that the final result of the war would be a loss for germany and a victory for the allies . 1942 in 2010, a film directed by leonid varlamov and ilya kapalin, the defeat of german troops near moscow, was released on the screens of soviet cinemas. soon in the united states, this film was awarded an academy award for best documentary film. thus, the work of varlamov and kopalin became the first soviet film to receive the highest award from the american film academy, celebrating the heroic struggle of the soviet people against nazism. winston churchill said that when the war is won, which i am sure of, we expect that soviet russia, great britain and the united states will meet for table of the victory conference, as the three main participants and as those whose actions wi

churchill once remarked that success is not final, failure is not fatal. it is the courage to continue that counts. >> jimmy: not only did desantis opt not to continue, winston churchill never said that. the state of florida banned all books about churchill after deciding the name winston sounded too gay. ron desantis didn't know. desantis finished a distant second in iowa and was only polling around eight percent in new hampshire. sadly, he was unable to woo voters with his irresistible natural charisma and charm. >> what is that? >> an icee. >> yeah. that's probably a lot of sugar, huh? >> jimmy: he's particularly great with kids. it was only a matter of time before ron dropped out. you could see the writing on the wall when six days before the iowa caucuses, the head of his super pac was caught on camera doing a puzzle. now he'll have plenty of time to finish it. i have to say, i'm a little bit sad to say goodbye to ron desantis. and when i look back on his campaign, over the last few months, i think the thing i'll miss most of all is his smile. that in

to be him or to be chamberlain, to try to be churchill, these are parallels, but they are not far-fetched, because this is a unique situation, a unique situation of both ukrainian choice and ukrainian destiny. yes, we have a war, this one is unique in these times in this regard, since the second world war, no one has experienced such a thing, and in this case, when standing parliaments and the most powerful politicians of the world applauded our president, we were always told... , and now the politician today writes about the fact that there is already disappointment, do you notice something like the author of the book, that there is disappointment with president zelenskyi or in the world, this is what the politician writes about today, yes, well, you know, of course i, as the author of that book, i constantly monitor what is happening and in ukraine, and and and the situation of volodymyr zelenskyi, he has his critics, he has a number of them all the time. with that criticism, for example, i can agree with part of it, with part of the criticism i don't, it has been going on for quite a l

to churchill, the establishment of the islamic government postpones the implementation of the jewish plan in palestine. britain's controversial behavior continues. britain speaks out in support of the arabs, but in practice encourages the jews to violence. in response. muslims protest, but every gathering is suppressed. arabs are gradually realizing the plans. negotiations with britain are feudal. a revolutionary man, ezaiden qasam, stands up for arab's rights. he said britain is the root cause of pain and miseries. britain is the prime enemy of the arabs. he revolted in 1935 and was martered shortly after. following the marturdom of... some the first resistance movement is carried out. there will be a six-month general strike. this does not reduce tensions. britain gets to work, on the one hand, london brings in military forces and on the other calls for negotiations. charles ord wingate, veteran british officer, converts to zionism as soon as he arrives in palestine. while educating jews, he implements a dangerous plan. the formation of armed groups, brutal repression and widesprea

they decided the roosevelt and churchill decided that they would go to sweden.sweden would run 12 ships of the line, fill up with. we could send material canada, but they would load in canada and sometimes in the united states and a decrease it was distribute it in greece. the germans never any of it. it worked out just fine, which hoover always argued. it. if they did it with poland. but but the germans, everything else in greece. but they didn't touch the material that was sent by the swedish aid britain in america. so is a passage there was possibility begun, but greece is not frontline state. so maybe maybe not anyway this is one of the other conclusions at the battle up to america going to a war, a battle between isolationist and interventionist is a myth. the fierce debe both sides was what action to take, if any, to keep america out. the ovwhming majority of americans and their representatives in congress were shaken by wh w happening a and finland and wished to do they could but what they could or would do did not include going to war for either country.

just one small problem: churchill never said that. it's from an old budweiser ad.h. >> louis: wow. [applause] >> stephen: it reminds me of that other famous churchill quote, "wazzzupppppppppppp." sounds better with an english accent. this is one of the most spectacular political crash and burns of all time. at least desantis doesn't have to worry about banning history books anymore, because he won't be in them. apparently, in the days leading up to the iowa caucus, the ceo of desantis' largest super pac spent a significant amount of time constructing a peaceful 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle. that, ladies and gentlemen, is leadership in crisis. it's like the captain of the titanic bravely declared: "edges and corner pieces first!" the most depressing thing about puzzlegate might be the office poll you can see in the background, which reads best animal: dog, best food: steak, and best drink: water. i'm sorry, "water"? these really are the most boring people on earth.

according to the international churchill society website, churchill never uttered those words.e lincoln project and former republican strategist. rick, your reaction to governor desantis dropping out of the run for the presidential nomination? >> i could tell you is he's the ted cruz of scott walker's, the least likable candidate in arrays who started out with this gigantic buzz, and -- this is a guy who was never good at this work, he was never good at human beings, never good with that -- connecting to people, and listening to them in appearing as if they're not in their head processing a piece of software that says, all display a motion 17 of interest. he couldn't connect with people and that's why the campaign impart was doing. but he was also diet trump, offering, i could be trump without the constant stream of embarrassment and humiliation. but maga voters don't want to diet trump, they want all that, all the caffeine, all the sugar, all the preservatives and alcohol. they want everything that trump gives them. and desantis wasn't at the end of the day -- unemotional baro

so it's the first moment where churchill, stalin, and fdr get together. fdr flies to tehran, iran, of all places, because to have this meeting, the first meeting ever big three and everyone's waving in tehran for the motorcade that's coming down the center of the city, they're all waving. they want to see the president of the united states presence in the car waving back. but none of them know is that is not the real president in the car. that's not fdr. it's a secret service decoy. the real actually ducked down and hiding in the back of a beat up sedan that's racing through the side streets of tehran because they're worried there's a nazi assassin who's about to murder him. and i just ruined chapter one of the nazi conspiracy scene. but that's chapter one. and what i love is we get to tell these stories about abraham lincoln of a secret plot. you've never heard about him at the start of his presidency. and even books that i've been able to to read to u.s. presidents like the first conspiracies about the secret plot to kill george washington. so what's yo

like winston churchill or uh, franklin delano roosevelt. do you think that interest was reciprocated. j thing they, they saw a nickel in him as he saw in them. oh boy, absolutely. i mean, one of my other specialities is as you are you must know was the stone is will lead to stalling during the 2nd world war. i'm particularly the relationship between style in a churchill and originally. yeah. and this does no, to look like respect that the rules of the contractual hats don't include respect for stallings no much you know, no, the 2 books and the profundity of a obviously thinking what i found fascinating is that style in started the american constitution. and i think what's almost unknown both in russian in the west was that he was a keeper sided over and was very much engaged in the works of the right of the soviet constitutional commission that was tasked with drafting the soviet constitution of 1936. that's at least in writing, attempted to give uh or a to encourage more active grass roots. political participation in the constitution was
