whole diary and memoirs speak of his frustration working for and with winston churchill. when churchill broke that news men expected the american fdr would nominate to lead would be this man -- not that man. we are having a little problem here -- this man. this of course is george kaplan marshall. the assumption was fairly widespread that marshall would lead the operation. and marshaller would essentially swap jobs. back from the mediterranean to become army chief of staff and marshall would go to england to become supreme for d-day. so universal was this expectation that marshall called the army transport office and had his household goods stored in preparation for his move to europe. roosevelt secretary of war, henry stimson, reflected a general consensus when he wrote in his diary that making marshall the supreme commander was what today we would call a no-brainer. making an analogy with the civil war, he noted while mr. lincoln had to fumble around through a process of trial and error with dreadful losses until he was able to discover the right choice, no such casting

the right wing identity types now i know you quoted winston churchill and you like doing it obviously for many people around the world is considered to be a mass murderer even in ireland he set up the black and tans in the bengal famine and so forth you are an honorary member as regards colonialism of the kwok awak a walkover tribe in british columbia tell me about that tribe and why you're an honorary member of it and how whether you are in the fight for the return of art looted by colonialism in british columbia well i would say i'm not part of the latter but the reason that i'm associated with that tribe is because i started working with a native carver named charles joseph who i regard as quite a genius who was a. survivor of one of canada's most brutal residential schools and had a childhood that was so indescribably awful that well if you heard about it it would. bring you to tears. i've worked with charles for fifteen years are buying his art which i think is quite remarkable and learning about his culture and we've had a very successful collaboration and as a consequence i was

despite the fact that their democratic alternatives also had their own problems you know what winston churchill was right when he said of democracy that it's the worst form of government except for all the others and and i'm a pessimist in a realist in matters such as that i know that all of our social systems are destined to remain deeply flawed the question is whether they spiral completely out of control and they certainly did under mao and stalin and hitler and if you were a child say and they were. a child in the ground. in this studio which the austerity was to anyway to austerity that's going to lose the individual is i'm not even a child to a teenager or an adult where is the ability to choose with the means to have choice well the economic means constrained to some degree but they certainly don't constrain absolutely i mean there's always the possibility for social mobility of of but not when they're dead on one another do well well definitely not look i mean i'm not foolish enough to presume that the adoption of individual responsibility and the striving that goes along with that is n

the great architect of this philosophy is winston churchill. churchill -- we all think of churchill as the great figure of may 1940. "i felt as if i were walking with destiny, and all my past life had been but a preparation for this hour and for this trial. i was sure i should not fail" is what he said on may 10, 1940. that is what he said after leaving the palace after the age of 65, being in the house since 1900, he finally reaches the pinnacle. churchill was a mixed bag. as roosevelt once said, "when winston is right he is right, but when he is wrong, my god." [laughter] the other story which is the only thing you will remember from this morning, it has no relevance but is a good story, churchill is in the men's room at the house of commons one day at the long trough. clement attlee, the socialist labour prime minister, comes in. churchill steps away. attlee looks at him and says, are you feeling standoffish today, winston? churchill said no, it's just every time you see something big you want to nationalize it. [laughter] there's really no

stewart: winston churchill was the first international visitor with fdr. was mrs. roosevelt wanting him to get the white house from her. they enjoyed fishing there and talking. they talked about the invasion of sicily, normandy, pretty consequential conversations. eisenhower had khrushchev to camp david. eisenhower was the first american president to make use of helicopters for presidential travel. spontaneously, the soviets did not want khrushchev on the helicopter, so i can asked directly in person, can i give you a tour? he said at the american president would get on, i can get onto. they did a tour of washington and then went to camp david and enjoyed a great time up there. khrushchev liked that american-made helicopter so much, he told eisenman -- talked eisenhower into letting him by two that he took back with him to the soviet union. another story is in. breast of -- bereschnev did not know much about camp david. he went anyway. had thehe party guy, he typical navy blue blazer fior b ereschnev, with the presidential seal. he had the keys to a brand-new navy

henry ford, thomas edison, winston churchill, jk rowling, steve jobs, bill gates. when i go aroundnt this country and speak to students i ask what do you think is hindering you were stopping you, what obstacles are in your way and it's always the same answer. students tell me that they are poor and have no money and no wayan to make think so i told tm this story. in the early 70s there was an unknown actor trying to make it in new york. he moved to california but things were not going so well they are either. as a matter of fact, things were so bad he had to sell this stock because he couldn't afford and then one day she saw something that gave him an idea to write a script about a man who was going to stand up t to life, take a st and go the distance. within three days he finished the script. some hollywood producers read the script and loved it except for one. they didn't want him to play the main character. he was too much of a risk at the box office. they offered him $360,000 but only on the condition he couldn't be in the movies. remember the actor had no car,

in a few months, he would travel to germany and meet with joseph stalin, winston churchill. at the conference. and on the way home to the united states, he would authorize the use of the atomic bomb on military targets. two atomic bombs were dropped on hiroshima and nagasaki. >> with this bomb, we have now added a new and revolutionary increase in destruction. >> and so the first five months of truman's presidency were among the most challenging of any president in our history. mrs. truman suffered a loss with the death of her mother. she died a few weeks before christmas in 1952. and really just a few weeks before president truman would lead the presidency in january of 1953. she died without a will. and so what mr. and mrs. truman did is they bought this home from the estate of mage gates wallace. then when the paper work was done. they could legally call it the truman home. from 1953 to 1972 were the only years in which harry and bess truman lived in this home by themselves. and in say perhaps those were the happiest 19 years of their lives. >> your thought of us is alway

and so that's why winston churchill's quote comes to mind tonight.rs into world war ii after the british won their first major victory in battle winston churchill said this. >> this is not end. it is not even the beginning of the end. but it is perhaps the end of the beginning. >> and so that is where we are tonight with the multiple investigations of candidate donald trump and president donald trump including the federal investigation in the southern district of new york in which donald j. trump is an unindicted coconspirator with michael cohen accused by federal prosecutors of committing crimes to win the presidency in what the prosecutors call a conspiracy against the united states of america. from the southern district of new york to the committees of the house of representatives the investigations of donald trump will not only continue, they will actually pick up their pace because for them tomorrow's release of the redacted version of the mueller report is not the end. it's not even the beginning of the end. but it is the end of the beginning o

[ laughter ] [ applause ] you also -- this whole city block, basically, was your week. because then the premiere of "game of thrones" was, i guess, last wednesday right at radio city as well. so you basically had your whole life right here. >> oh, it was bizarre. i was doing the -- on the wednesday, they do a read through of snl, and it goes on for a while. and they were very good to let me out. cause it's a busy week to let me out to go to the premiere of "game of thrones." but during the read through i could h

in mid-1942, there were serious doubts raised as to whether winston churchill and franklin roosevelt were up to running world war ii. now that i have driven you down to the weeping depths of despair, let me see if i can take us more up toward what we would call the broad sum it up since. this brings us to american and japanese strategy in mid-1942. the battle of midway in early june defeated an attempt to annihilate american naval forces and capture the island of midway and permit the invasion of hawaii that would obtain the 450,000+ civilian population as bargaining chips to negotiate an end of the war. tactically, resulted in the loss of four japanese fleet carriers and one american fleet carrier, and then by placing the imperial navy in the fleet far closer to parity, then had been the case since the start of the war. but the fact was, that japan had controlled the strategic initiatives since pearl harbor and midway by convinced that japan's uniform leaders would abandon the offensive in the aftermath of midway, the imperial army became oriented for further offensive operations an

as they worked together during world war ii included this quote from winston churchill after a crucialy in a british battle. "now is not the end," churchill said, "it is not even the beginning of the end. but it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." that is the quote i used last night at this time to describe where i expected us to be, the end of the beginning. so tonight the prosecutor's investigation has been handed to congress with much for congress to pursue, including impeachment hearings. jon meacham has seen this once before. he was the managing editor of "newsweek" when president bill clinton was impeached by the house of representatives. since then he's written biographies of four presidents from tom jefferson to the first president bush. jon meacham joins us now to combine his journalism experience with his historian's eye to give us his reaction to the mueller report and where we are tonight in the investigation of donald trump. jon, thank you very much for joining us tonight. on this historic night, which it is, and when we have historic nights, of course, i want the hist

there is a feeling on the campus here at the white house everyone knows that there is a bust of winston churchill sitting in the oval office and only since just behind him just across from from donald trump let me use a quote from winston churchill to kind of sum up the mood here this is not the end but is perhaps the beginning of the end this is still going to go on for some time i don't know trump quickly putting out a tweet game of thrones themed saying that this was game over as far as the radical left democrats and haters what can sound the white house put out a tweet saying that there was no instruction no collusion this is a good day for donald trump essentially and now we've had from his legal team they've described this as a total victory and proves there was no criminal wrongdoing hold that thought just for a second no criminal wrongdoing is what is going to be argued about over the coming days was there criminal wrongdoing or was there wrongdoing that could not lead to a conviction in a court are those the same things it's a very fine argument but sadly we know that there are going to

again, one of my historical idols, i'm so old i used to have breakfast with him periodically, winston churchill. churchill argued, said if you are not a socialist in your 20's you have heart, if you're not a capitalist in your 30's, you have no mind. the reason i say that is i personally want to talk to the younger group, the millenials, i know i am an old guy, i want to give them the benefit of experience and history. they are in the workforce now and matriculating through their careers and i believe they will discover there is no -- the idea of central planning does not work. it would be devastating to the economy. >> along those lines, do you think the democratic house is holding back or hampering the economy? do you think they will approve of the new nafta deal? not a lot of movement on that so far. >> yes and no. i think speaker pelosi has been very accommodative to us frankly. she opened the door, bob lighthizer addressed the democratic conference which is a very positive thing. ms. pelosi has voted for many trade deals through the years so i'm not going to prejudge. i haven't seen her in

let me preface it by saying that winston churchill had an aaddress at harvard in 1943, and he talked about america's role in the world. he said the following, the price of greatness is responsibility. president bush, how do you see america's role in the world today? mr. bush: first of all, gates is old enough to -- to have been at the speech. [laughter] mr. bush: and i'm proud to be on the stage with you and bob. you should judge a president by the company he keeps, and i had a fabulous cabinet and bob gates was an integral part of the team and i thank you for your continued service. america, we stand for human decency, human rights, the rule of law, free press, free religion. it is ingrained in our soul, and i think it is in our interest that others practice and open civil society for the sake of peace. if you're one -- one of the lessons of 9/11 is that how others live matters to our national security. a message that seems to be getting lost on the american people as that moment recedes in our collected memory. i believe it is in our national interest and self-interest that others
