that was his modern sentiment with churchill. but indian independence 100 percent wrong and still wrong today and use language about it betted is disgraceful and should be trampled by elephants. the only thing that i could possibly say that with his vision of the empire had done some great things of the barbaric practices with the untouchables in many cases were reduced. and he was worried that that was not entirely absent. certainly ed defense of his handling about though war and i am afraid that is not handled very well. i will not put my hand up to that one. >> mr. mayer i read your book when it came out. what are your thoughts on winston churchill and his view of the european union today? >> i think he would want to be there and to be engaged. he would not necessarily want this country he says different things at different times toward different places as the great campaigner but he sees britain as being in the church. but not actually participating in the union. i wish she had still been prime minister. if he had been he wou

and yet to support churchill.so the labor slogan was cheer for churchill, vote for labor. >> rose: that's pretty good. >> that's a good one. and so they kicked him out. and-- and but again, you know, look at that. he gets this incredible poke in the eye. he's 70. what does he do? he keeps going. he never gave in. and he gets back into government. >> rose: this is what the economist say, you know the economist magazine. the semi articulated and perhaps semi conscious musing on contemporary politics that seep from mr. johnson's analysis in which deep similarities emerge. this is the economist. your own home group economist. >> very great paper. >> rose: they're saying you are drawing this comparison because you want people to think of you as a churchill in the making. >> no, its-- i explanned the origins of the book which is entirely-- they just, they pick ited out. they wanted-- . >> rose: it had nothing to do with the mayor of london write about winston churchill. >> i had written an essay about churchill which th

his latest book is about winston churchill and is called "the churchill factor: how one man made history." there is a long history of politicians writing books to burnish their careers. "profiles in courage" and "the audacity of hope" this book is more like "profiles in courage" than the barack obama book because it drops a hint. i am pleased to have boris johnson back at the table. >> it is an honor to be back. >> why did you write this? >> what the churchill family and the estate said as they had the 50th anniversary of his death coming up next year. and they genuinely felt that although there is a lot of scholarship there was not a book that tried to bring it together to argue to a new generation that churchill was the great man that i think he was and that people of my generation think he was. in the new generation he is receding, fading. because the vastness of his achievement is being lost. the was a survey that showed that most people think that he was in an insurance advertisement. that is what young people think. it was an attempt to bring them to life again for a new generation

you have talked about winston churchill's churchill's moral courage. we also talked about practicality. how would he view occupy a central, hong kongers standing up for democratic rights? >> i am in favor of democracy everywhere and always, whether it is sensible to be very aggressive toward the chinese about their view of the matter, i don't know, particularly when you consider and in all the years britain ruled hong kong i don't remember as having a system of democracy their. we should have. when we knew we were handing it over to the chinese, we suddenly conceived a great patent for democracy which we had not hitherto i'm afraid shown. but i don't want to mince words. i want democracy in hong kong. i believe it is the right way forward. i think it will eventually come. i find amazing talking to friends in china, members of he

called "the churchill factor: how one man made history."reat to be here. i'm moderately flamboyant. we don't need to exaggerate. >> we use the word moderate too much. winston churchill has had thousands of quotes that have been used in all sorts of academia but one of my favorites is if you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. use a pile driver. hit the point once. then come back and hit it again. then hit it a third time. a tremendous whack. now, winston churchill is revered for his leadership within wartime. and i'm wonder, given the type of nonconventional threats that we see now in terms of isis and al qaeda, how do you think winston churchill would have responded to that? >> well, i think he would have been very, very tough with the -- any returning terrorists. i think he would have been absolutely ruthless in cracking down on people who meant harm to america or to the united kingdom. whether he would have wanted, michael, to go into war in syria or iraq to put boots on the ground, i don't know. what he sa

churchill says, ok. go ahead. daniels says, ok, we will, suspecting rightly that the british will not be able to antinue to fund naval-building program at the same rate that the united states could fund a building program. one of the reasons being was because the british gold reserves were now resting in the united states because, basically, the british had been paying the united states to help keep them in the war before the united states entered the war. daniels and churchill have this long back-and-forth. they walk away with no agreement. paris,iels goes back to tells wilson, we tried to settle this. we couldn't. we just need to stick with our naval-building program, which, in a few years, assuming the british did not up their naval-building program, which daniels did not think that they could do politically or financially, would ultimately give the united states its t wo-ocean navy and the largest navy in the world. so, he goes back to the united states. this is 1919. it turns out that the republicans had take

they go over and they see churchill.k with the liquor contracts from which he makes millions of dollars. jimmy roosevelt, the president's son, unbeknownst to anyone, gets the insurance contract. he makes a bundle. the thing i found through my investigation with this book is that winston winds up with stock in two american companies controlled by joe kennedy. one is national distillers, for whom he's selling liquor through this company. the other is brooklyn-manhattan transit, which is the new york subway line. it was then privately owned. >> wow. >> and bernard barouqe, joe kennedy's business pal but winston's best friend in america, they controlled the subway line. and they were anticipating it would be bought out by the municipality. they would make a killing. so, how did winston wind up with this money? you know, people didn't know about this basically because all of the history was written after world war ii and everybody said, oh, they disliked each other. they did because of what happened. the big arc of my book is

churchill even compared financial workers at the towers the holocaust. fired by the university of colorado in 2007, his teaching continues. >> is there a university that is still in the market for ward churchill's thoughts? >> there's universities all over the country in the market for ward churchill's thoughts. >> trace gallaghll fox news. >> well, in his new⌟ldocumentar, america, filmmaker dinesh d'souza joins us to explain who's behind it, where it's going and what the results may be when we return with who's teaching your kids. >> just showed you 30% of registration in the states because they're really stupid. and racist, but. nyquil cold and flu liquid gels don't unstuff your nose. really? alka-seltzer plus night rushes relief to eight symptoms of a full blown cold including your stuffy nose.

c-span: randolph churchill. >> guest: randolph churchill was a sh--a small fling; he was much younger than she was. they met when she went to stay one weekend at his father's country house in kent, when she was then having an affair with the financier bernard baruch, and he called her in paris and said, 'mr. churchill invites you to join us for the weekend.' and the person who met her at the ai--at the station was randolph churchill. and he then was about 22 years old and like an adonis; he was a--a stunning man and also a romantic turn of mind, as she was. and there's one funny story. do we have time for it? when i was in hawaii researching the book--her personal papers with her, she had invited my husband to come, too. and he said, 'well, i can't come because i have to work on my volume two--two of theodore roosevelt.' so she said, 'well, i'll give you a room to work in. you won't be disturbed.' so he said, 'all right.' so he came. but it turned out that that house was right on the ocean, and all of the doors were louver doors and all the windows were slatted. so even though he was

i can't read enough churchill books. you. >> the family want ad new book on churchill but what reason i was looking to do it, it's 50 years since he died next year and i think if you look what's happening in my country, in britain, people remember 1940. but they don't remember all the stuff that made up churchill, that give him the huge courage to take that decision to fight on alone, to fight on as we did for two years. and i think it was important to tell people about all the things he did in the first world war. he went up in planes when they had barely been invented. >> he made some disastrous decision. john mecham, my favorite quote from churchill, when he's right he's right but when he was wrong turned into disastrous decisions which turned him into a joke in the 1930s. you write about him because of what he did in one year, 1940 so remarkable. the greatest statesman britain had ever produced. why? >> because -- >> isn't that remarkable also? >> absolutely. i would defend his achievements and his huge career before

did. >> go to hell. >> he writes to churchill.ou have a man who -- even though he was gay at the time, he was not out because he couldn't really properly be out at the time. but he also wasn't hiding himself. this was someone of a certain kind of possession. that he was able to boss people around, impose his will and if not for that, the code wouldn't have been broken. >> true. i mean, i think you know people of that degree of intelligence to know -- they rarely have too many inhibitions, actually. do you know what i mean? >> yes. absolutely. >> and it feewas a perfect exam of that. >> you got to talk to the family, you told me. meet the family. >> yeah. they came to london. it was really fascinating. they were proud of him. and they were proud of this portrayal of him. i often wonder about the disconnect fwe disconnect between fiction and reality. they saw in this film an opportunity for people to understand white how important he was. >> the film is called the imitation game. thank you very much. >> all right. earlier, you may h

churchill did. go to hell. well, this is inhuman. even for you. >> popular at school, were you? >> charlie: tell us more about who he was and what it is that is important in this film about understanding what was going on there. >> i think at this stage, it's before john clark is brought in to the story, who is another -- well, to use the phrase, very humanizing influence in his life. he was incredibly sensitive child. he was brought up by foster parents for a large portion of his early life and his mother returning from a diplomatic in india with his father was stunned to discover her son had a stammer. you can only imagine what difficulties these children now face with that difficulty. then, in an era which wasn't vick torn but might as well have been in attitudes, sent to two boarding schools, the idea of him making easy friends with peers is beyond me. but he was peculiar and had a very different view of the world. he fell in love with an older boy at his public school. >> charlie: shown through flashbacks. >> yes. brilliantly played by alex lawther in the movie. it's a rema

churchill had chosen every detail personally and meticulously down to the hymns, down to the readingsthat the chaplain gave from the pope. i will not fail nor be failed. strong, good courage. afterwards, exultantly churchill burst up and make the same language, the same hymns, the same ideals. when he said the same ideals, he wasn't making some generalizations about being a good guy. think of the world as it appeared from the perspective of 1941. the whole of the eurasian army was under one form or another update leadership. constitutional freedom, liberty under the law was confined to the anglos, to the committee of the free english-speaking people. you didn't even have the consolation of telling yourself that the spread of dictatorship has come about as result of invasion by foreign armies. some parliamentary regimes have been overthrown by invading troops, but far longer was the list of nations which have turned without needing to be invaded because of internal dynamics of their own. no one in 1941 would have seen anglos and about his. listen to the language in which both the faste

the first tomlinson to arrive, and that was a woman named susan tomlinson jones who was very to churchill downs, the big slaveholder who bought the land. and then susan convinced her brother, jim, who moved from alabama, and that was my great grandfather. and so the last tomlinson living on the hill when he died in the car accident in 2007. and unfortunately, i never got to meet him. he sounds like a wonderful man, and a very loving man. but he cared so much about that community, as did your grandparents. and your grandfather died before you were born pit. so i guess, was my research about your family, does it help? did it -- does it make a difference in your life to know this stuff? >> guest: definitely, man. a reading the book i got to know who my grandfather was years before i was born. so my dad never talked about him coming in now. i did get to meet my grandmother, but i don't remember talking about him neither. but being able to read your book and learn that my grandfather was a pillar in the community, and mason, he did this, he did that, you know, that is infused me with a sense o

>> it's a bit like winston churchill who said about america. churchill said you can always trust america to do the right thing but only after they've tried everything else first. [laughter] f'ing something a bit similar is true to democracy. the fact that all of the people are very preoccupied by this will eventually translate into politicians actually addressing it. it just hasn't quite happened yet. i think they're fighting with the word inequality. >> apropos nothing to do with regional passage to give people a flavor of the book. the laffer curve, the most influential complicit john lanchester definition of the laffer curve. the most influential audience arrived in world on a cocktail napkin. an american economist who explains a duty to official in the nixon and ford demonstration in 1974. the idea was innocents government could raise more money in tax by cutting tax rates. is -- he made the .0%, the government raises no money but at 100% tax to begin the government raises no money because nobody will do any work. the government confiscates

that i'm reminded of -- attributed to winston churchill that i'm reminded of. here's what he said about americans. he said, you know the americans, they always do the right thing after they have tried everything else first.

frankly, often here in america, you appreciate that document more than we do at home as winston churchill called it one of the title deeds of liberty. we are looking forward to having that moment in washington. for americans, of course, the siege of fort mchenry is best known as a great battle described in your anthem and in the other shows and pictures that we have seen this evening. it's well worth commemorating for that reason. but the siege, the battle, the wider war of 1812 also carry a broader significance for brits and americans and canadians. much more than the war itself, we celebrate the peace that followed and the extraordinary friendship which senator mikulski outlined now when blossomed from the piece. i was proud to see the pipes and drups alongside the president's own just now. i'm proud that hmr is alongside ships of the u.s. navy not far from here. two centuries on, we count each other as indispensable allies. an unparalleled special relationship which goes seriously deep. shared culture, trade and investment, shared fundamental values reaffirmed at the nato summit at the
