the move was so outrageous that when franklin roosevelt showed it to winston churchill, churchill walked out in a rage. anyway, the point of it was what every school child has said, the american people have learned. they were unfaithful to wellson, and ha really started world war ii not quite as much as adolf hiterer. world war ii. it was certainly necessary for franklin roos relate to support stalin in 1931. but it was most certainly foolish for him to maintain that support after the battle of strollen -- stalin guard. stalin grad. this led us not to the peace that america's arms had won, but rather to a half a century of very, very dangerous cold war. thereafter, you're all familiar with the surplus of power that the united states brought against the soviet union, against, against communist forces in vietnam and how that surplus of power was translated to loss after loss. how come? well, because a whole variety of ideas this which, many which all of the -- in which all of the schools of our foreign policy occurred. our foreign policy establishment purports to be wided into -- divided i

we have seen this year -- we saw -- winston churchill standing across the house of commons -- across the river from the house of commons, making his finest speech. there is a tremendous resilience in this country, a tremendous base common sense, and a tremendous instincts for fairness, which, i must say, i find very engaging. canada, a country having to live alongside and on top of a country vastly more powerful than themselves, with remarkable success, they have constructed a kind of alternate society there. it is a society which has bridged the distance between europe and america. they have, for example, a system of medical care which is a hybrid between the american system and the british system. they fought with extraordinary valor in the two wars, the first and second world wars, and again in afghanistan. as anyone in the 49th parallel knows, canada it is an extraordinarily pleasant place. i did not choose it to be so. i it, in some ways, have experienced the best in all three countries. >> i want to make sure that we have something to talk about in the future. because we are a

because franklin roosevelt leaves and has been persuaded primarily by winston churchill, that with its green army and green commanders, that's teaching in britain and crossing the english channel and marching for berlin is not a good idea, that you're likely to suffer a substantial reverse. and so, against the advice of martial and eisenhower right when fdr make the decision that we're going to north africa, makes the end of july 1942. he said that franklin d. roosevelt, commander-in-chief, lest there be any doubt once his authority to rice rise. eisenhower right is the blackest day in history, which is a ridiculous overstatement given the blackness of other days. but what marshall certainly recognizes as the mediterranean because they sound. once you're there, it's hard to get out. so, the strategic decision to go there, which i think they allow to send house collateral strategic decisions, which involves i'm going to sicily and southern italy and so on. because there is now shifting to get that half-million man force that is a north africa at the end of the tunisia campaign back to b

recognize the bolsheviks, because the early british government wouldn't recognize the bolsheviks, winston churchill told boy george you might as well recognize sodomy before you recognize the bolsheviks. the progressives were upset by that in the 20's. so stalin and the late 1920's started bringing american western progressives to the soviet union to take a carefully managed to work to try to get them to come back to the united states and write articles about how great the soviet union is and they are finding this new world and by the way, the united states government ought to recognize the government. as of these are the progressives. one of them, h. g. wells three h. g. wells. after a meeting with stalin in 1934, i never met a man more candid, fair and honest. everyone trusts him. everyone trusts him. it is the start of a great era, 1934. maybe there is a stalin. likewise he had been impressed by vladimir huji called, quote, refreshing and amazing little man. amazing little man. his fellow socialists, bernard shaw, met with stalin and you're going to think this is sarcastic. it's not. it's comple

when winston churchill was about 21, his mother invited to his house for lunch a french diplomat whohe asked the guy, you have been here 20 years, what have you seen? and he said, have seen a revolution. when i got here 20 years ago, this was probably about 1821 1920, he said, when i got here, 400 families controlled everything. it was an agricultural economy. in the last 20 years, that has changed completely. you have had the french revolution without spilling a drop of blood. and what he was describing was a gigantic social change that happened gradually, step by step, with both parties contributing step-by-step day- by-day. they had partisanship and politics, but they had constructive politics, where each side contributed to a larger project of reviving the country. in victorian england. because each side contributed to it, it took to advantage of both sides wisdom. because each side contributed to it, there was a deep social change that was widely expected. -- accepted. that is the sort of revival we need now. we need constructive challenge in politics. we need one that brings up

in the days following pearl harbor, winston churchill joined president roosevelt to which our nationut without fail, each year we have gathered here. each year we have gathered to celebrate a story that has in store for to millennium, the story that is dear to michelle and me as christians but a message that is universal. at the child was born far from home and spread a simple message of love and redemption to every human being around the world. it is a message that says no matter who we are or where we are from, no matter the pain we in door or the old wrongs we face, we are called to love one another as brothers and sisters. and so during a time in which we try our hardest to live with a spirit of charity and good will, we remember our brothers and sisters who have lost their job or struggling to make ends meet. we pray for the men and women in uniform serving in afghanistan and iraq and for which places who cannot be home this holiday season. and we think their families, who will mark this christmas with an empty seat at the dinner table. on behalf of malia, sasha, michelle, mary

wasn't in the league by winston churchill and the british government and it's very explicit.ectly targeting civilians is beyond the pale of civilization. this is barbaric behavior. and then a great sea change took place as america became involved in the war in europe first as the british began to regain an offensive against the germans and as the concepts of strategic warfare began to develop and as concepts of psychological warfare and total war began to be concretely expanded, it is not enough to just go in and target factories and military-related industry. it's not even efficient. it's very hard to hit those targets. so we've really got to do carpet bombing in these areas. but also psychologically this will destroy the morale of the enemy because the fighting force knowing that the wife and children and family back home is being destroyed, will be demoralized. the people will withdraw their support from the government. and doing that will also boost the morale of our side. and so this became a standard ingrained part of the war in europe. and then the british led it. the

winston churchill used to hang out here when he was in the midst of working with fdr during world war ii. truman stayed here for four years when they were redoing the white house residence, and abraham lincoln was a close friend of blair's so he used to visit here almost every night. and, you know, as some of you i am sure are aware i read link in a lot and think about lincoln a lot and i think one story that comes to mind right now is at the time that he was president he used to come in and secret service weren't there to nag you and for askew and somebody demands to see him and insist on waiting and finally lincoln left him in. the guy says i am responsible for you being elected president of the united states. and lincoln says, really? i did all the work. i was one of your hardest workers and now expects some help and lincoln says well let me tell you if you are indeed responsible for helping me get elected, i forgive you. [laughter] now some of you may feel the same way or at least you will and a month or so but you know the truth is that as somebody who has served in state governm

i would like to say take a look at winston churchill. he was an ample man.orge washington's haircut. but those guys did pretty well. abraham lincoln had a high, squeaky voice, but i dare say he was a doggone good president. so a person's attributes and what they are may be the key for some people, but i hope to believe it's the job that one does that matters a heck after lot more than how well one photographs. megyn: governor mike huckabee, thank you so much for being here. all the best, sir. fox news alert. we just confirmed a 26-year-old virginia man is being held in federal custody after he allegedly threatened to set off bombs on a washington, d.c. metro system. the fbi was alerted to the threats allegedly sent on facebook. more on that breaking news plus trace's report on this casino heist at the bellagio in las vegas. i thought eric gave you the creeps.

what did winston churchill say?he truth is so precious it has to be protected with a bodyguard of lies. at times that's necessary. unfortunately government sometimes, oftentimes do that when it's not necessary. >> ed, i want to turn the corner here. obviously the president's signature piece of legislation, health care reform, potentially in jeopardy. we know a federal judge said at least part of it was unconstitutional, the mandate forgetting health care reform insurance. the justice department says it's now going to appeal. this thing could play out in the courts for quite some time. do we think that helps or hurts republicans in making their case that they don't think this is a good idea in the first place. >> first of all, i applaud the justice department and the decision to move it forward quickly and get to it the supreme court and get them to make a decision on weatherman dates are constitutional or not. i think the republicans are going to attempt to repeal portions of this bill. i think they're certainly goi

, prime minister of great britain, at which time, prime minister winston churchill, gave a christmas message for america. they thought christmas was a national treasure and so it was. 1942, roosevelt had said these words. it is significant that tomorrow, christmas day, our plants and factories will be stilled. that is not true of the other holidays. we have long been accustomed to celebrate. on all other holidays work goes on gladly for the winning of the war system of christmas becomes the only holiday in all the year. i like to think that this is so because christmas is a holy day. my all that stands -- may all it stands for live and grow throughout the years. in 1944, he said, this is president roosevelt, he said it's not easy to say merry christmas to you, my fellow americans, in this time of destructive war, nor can i say merry christmas lightly tonight to our armed forces at their battle stations all over the world or to our allies who fight by their side. here at home, we celebrate this christmas day in our traditional american way. because of its deep spiritual meaning to us,

personally, i believe, to quote or paraphrase winston churchill who said that americans can be counted on to do the right thing when they have exhausted every possibility. we have put a spending cap on -- i am not sure the right things get done. if taxes are going to be put on the table, i believe health care will be put on the table. there's a lot of expertise at this table. i studied these issues as a member and as a senate staffer for seven years. i cannot come to any other conclusion. you're not fixing the problem. i do not believe health care is here. i understand the timing has been poor. what we passed in congress is part of the solution. there are those of us who feel strongly it is part of the problem. i believe that also when you juxtapose what you are doing on the tax expenditure side which is good, i would agree with senator durbin who is no longer here. you are hastening more people into the public option. something that many of us on this side of the aisle do not relish. ultimately, we must reform the current entitlement programs and grandfather of the grandparents. my a

that's for 6,600 individuals which brings to mind i'll paraphrase winston churchill who has said, it has been some time since so many have been asked to do so much for so few. with no legitimate reason, i might add. we are also talking about raiding the social security trust fund for the next two years. a total of $111 billion. and increasing the deficit by about $1 trillion. which will require us to exceed the national credit -- debt limit. in april or may of next year with this bill passing we will definitely exceed the current $14 trillion debt limit that the country has. i had a fair opportunity to negotiate contracts when i was an ironworker. one thing i learned, and it applies to this agreement with the republican senate, there's a big difference between compromise and surrender. and what this bill represents is a complete surrender of democratic principles and standing up to working people and makeling them -- making them carry an undue burden under this tax law. i yield back, mr. speaker. thank you. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. t
