It's 1943. Nazi Germany and its Axis power allies are ravaging Europe and the Pacific with a terrible war. At this juncture, President Franklin Roosevelt has one critical goal: a face-to-face meeting with his allies, Joseph Stalin and Winston Churchill. The first ever meeting of the "Big Three" is set to take place in Tehran, Iran, where the leaders of the three great superpowers will discuss and decide on some of the most crucial strategic details of the war. But when the Nazis learn about the meeting, they form their own secret, deadly plan: an assassination plot that would forever change history...if they're successful. This riveting true story, filled with daring rescues and high stakes intrigue, explains how this pivotal meeting in Tehran changed the course of World War II, and how the Nazi conspiracy to assassinate the Allied leaders nearly led to world-shattering disaster. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name!It is Saturday morning, 29th November 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go straight to the Gospel of John 7:44-46 (Amplified Version): ”Some of them wanted to arrest Him (that's Jesus), but no one laid hands on Him. Then the guards went [back] to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why did you not bring Him [here with you]?” The guards replied, “Never [at any time] has a man talked the way this Man talks!” Oh, what an orator! You know what an orator is? I looked up the Oxford dictionary - "a person who is good at public speaking”. Well, who was the greatest orator of all time? His name is Jesus Christ! When the High Priest's soldiers were told to go and arrest Him and they heard Him speaking, they couldn't touch Him. They said, ”We have never ever heard a man speak like this before.”I've got a book, it's called ”Speeches That Changed The World”, and it's got the most famous speeches, right from the beginning, right up until now, all kinds of speeches, good ones, bad ones, ugly ones. We just think of Abraham Lincoln. He said, ”Government of the people, by the people, for the people.” Then we look at Winston Churchill during the Second World War, he said, ”Blood, toil, tears and sweat. We shall fight on the beaches, but we will never give up.” Prime Minister Nehru, at the Independence of India said, ”At the stroke of the midnight hour, India will awake.” Then we think of John F Kennedy. He said, "Ask not what your country can do for you. Rather ask what you can do for your country.” But I want to tell you about my friend, Jesus Christ. He spoke to me, almost audibly, through a man, not even a preacher, we're talking about laymen. They came to our little church and started to tell us about Jesus, and it was like my eyes were opened for the first time and Jesus said, ”Come to me, all of you who labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart and you will find rest for your souls”Today, listen to the greatest speaker who has ever lived upon the earth. He saved my soul. He can save your soul today if you will open your spiritual ears and listen to what He wants to tell you.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.Goodbye.

The 1962 David Lean film, starring Peter O'Toole and Omar Sharif, introduced millions to the legend of T.E. Lawrence - the British officer who led the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire in World War One. But how much of that legend is true?This episode tells the real story of Thomas Edward Lawrence (T.E. Lawrence)1888: Born in Wales, the illegitimate son of an Irish nobleman and his governess.1907-1910: Studied History at Oxford, graduating with a first-class honours degree. His thesis on Crusader castles took him on a 1,000-mile walking tour of Syria.1911-1914: Worked as an archaeologist in Syria, becoming fluent in Arabic. Conducted secret military surveys of the Sinai Peninsula.1914-1916: Joined British Military Intelligence in Cairo, producing maps and reports on Ottoman forces.1916-1918: Liaison officer with Prince Faisal's Arab Northern Army during the Arab Revolt. Participated in guerrilla raids on the Hejaz Railway and the capture of Aqaba.1918: Entered Damascus with Faisal's army as the Ottoman Empire collapsed.1919: Accompanied Faisal to the Paris Peace Conference, where the Sykes-Picot Agreement shattered Arab dreams of independence.1921:Served as special advisor to Winston Churchill at the Cairo Conference, helping install Faisal as King of Iraq.1922-1935: Disillusioned, Lawrence enlisted in the RAF and Royal Tank Corps under aliases (John Ross, T.E. Shaw), seeking anonymity.1935: Died aged 46 in a motorcycle accident near his cottage in Dorset.The truth behind Lawrence of Arabia is more complex - and more fascinating - than the Hollywood legend.

In this episode of The New Rules Podcast, Adrian and Bri dive into one of the most overlooked forces shaping our lives: belief. Not blind optimism. Not hype. But the deep, internal conviction that fuels calling, direction, resilience, and identity. Starting with Winston Churchill's outrageous belief at 19 that he would one day save England, the conversation unpacks how belief forms, why it wavers, and how you can build it in your own life. Adrian opens up about his lifelong struggle with self-belief, how ADHD shaped his confidence, and the role others played in helping him see what he couldn't see in himself. They explore: Why belief often looks irrational from the outside. The tension between bold belief and foolishness. How belief anchors identity, especially in seasons of doubt. Why those with strong belief often experience deep lows. How belief in others (kids, spouse, team) shapes their future. Why calling needs both conviction and evidence. The role of time in confirming or correcting your belief. How to choose belief when the evidence isn't there yet. This conversation is honest, practical, and deeply human—helping you understand how belief works and what it will take to become who you're designed to be.

This week Seth Paridon and Jon Parshall dig into the destruction of Force Z at the hands of the Imperial Japanese Navy's air arm. Sent as a deterrent to Japanese aggression in the area in December 1941 by Winston Churchill, Force Z was supposed to be the "big stick" of Royal Navy power in the Pacific. Comprised of HMS Prince of Wals and battlecruiser HMS Repulse, as well as four destroyers, the paltry battleship force under Adm Sir Thomas Phillips sortied from Singapore on December 8 to break up the Japanese invasion fleet headed for Malaya. What occurred after, is often cited as the demise of the battleship as the queen of the seas. In short order, the Japanese Betty's and Nell's, slinging torpedoes, eviscerated the two capital ships and altered the shape of the Malayan campaign.

The source is an excerpt from a faith-based podcast featuring a guest speaker, Philip Cameron, who shares a powerful message encouraging listeners to shift their focus from personal need to giving and helping others. Cameron introduces his ministry, Orphan's Hands, which rescues children from trafficking and orphanages in places like Moldova and Ukraine, emphasizing that he immediately teaches these vulnerable children to give to others to break their "orphan spirit." The speaker uses historical analogies, such as Winston Churchill's use of pots and pans during World War II, and personal anecdotes, including the story of his own adoption of a son from a Romanian orphanage, to illustrate the difference between the devil's "plots" and God's superior "plans." Finally, he makes an appeal for financial support to finish a new Promise House facility dedicated to rescuing younger children.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20251121dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion [Jesus said] “By standing firm you will gain life.” Luke 21:19 Never It is the darkest period of World War II. For all intents and purposes, Nazi Germany has conquered the entire continent of Europe. At present, the only force that stands in its way is the island of Great Britain. Winston Churchill has been Prime Minister for only a few months, but these few months have been terrible for his country. Hitler’s bombs have been dropping on London without mercy. Entire neighborhoods are in rubble. Families are sleeping in subways to avoid the death raining down from above. It is during this difficult, frightening time that Churchill receives an invitation. His old high school has asked him to come and speak to the students. He accepts. As the date nears, Churchill must give some thought as to what he will say. What do you say to teenagers whose families are facing the deprivations of war? When the date arrives, Churchill has decided what he is going to say. He enters the school. He gathers with the students and faculty. Then he gets up to speak. He describes to the students the crucial moment in history in which they live. Then he delivers some of the most memorable words in the entire war. He tells them, “Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never.” In Luke chapter 21, Jesus describes for his disciples the hard and difficult days that lie ahead for his followers. Satan and this fallen world will rage against the message of the gospel—the good news of full forgiveness through faith alone in the crucified and risen Son of God. The lives of Christians will be fraught with persecution, temptation, hostility, and pain. But then Jesus holds out a precious promise. He says, “By standing firm you will gain life.” Apart from our Savior, of course, we would not stand at all. Left to ourselves, we would immediately fall away. But the Savior who has washed away our every sin of disloyalty is the same Savior who empowers us to stand firm. Therefore, in him, filled with the gospel in Word and sacrament, you and I will stand firm in this world until he brings us home to eternal life. Prayer: Lord Jesus, as the battle rages, move me never to give in. Never. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

Winston Churchill (1874-1965) utnämning till marinminister 1939 måste vara världshistoriens största politiska comeback. Den möjliggjordes av att Churchill tidigt varnat för Hitler när den politiska majoriteten ville har fred till nästa vilket pris som helst.När andra världskriget bröt ut öppnade det för Churchills återkomst till politikens högsta ämbeten i Storbritannien. Kriget ökade hans livskänsla och han tog sig an arbetet som marinminister med energi och entusiasm.Trots att han vara medansvarig för en misslyckad operation att ockupera Norge för att förhindra svensk malmexport till Tyskland blev fiaskot biljetten till premiärministerposten. Något han strävat efter sedan unga år.Churchill var den enda ledare som kunde vinna bred uppslutning och bildade i maj 1940 en samlingsregering, i vilken även liberaler och arbetarpartiet ingick. Det enda löfte Churchill kunde ge var en tid av ”blod och möda, svett och tårar”. Hans tal till nationen och världen under kriget satte tonen för det brittiska motståndet mot Hitlertyskland.Trots Winston Churchills många fel, brister och misstag under andra världskriget går det inte att bortse från hans centrala betydelse för att Storbritannien inte dukade under av trycket från den oövervinnliga tyska krigsmaskinen. När andra brittiska regeringsmedlemmar ville förhandla med Hitler vägrade Churchill att böja sig. Churchills vägran att förhandla med Hitler avgjorde krigets utgång.I avsnitt 44 av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med författaren Bengt Liljegren som har skrivit flera biografier om historiska personer, bland annat om Winston Churchill, samt Erik Hedling är professor i filmvetenskap vid Lunds universitet med ett särskilt intresse för Winston Churchill.

Förväntningarna var höga på den unge Winston Churchill (1874–1965), som föddes in i den brittiska högadeln. Men bakom aristokratins fasad dolde sig ett besvärligt barn som både familj och släkt gärna undvek.Föräldrarna var sällan närvarande under hans uppväxt. Fadern, den välkände politikern Lord Randolph Churchill, hade en särskilt kylig relation till sonen och avled tidigt, vilket lämnade ett tomrum i Winstons liv.I denna repris av podcasten Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med författaren Bengt Liljegren, lärare och historiker som har skrivit flera biografier om historiska personer, bland annat om Winston Churchill. Dessutom medverkar Churchill-kännaren Erik Hedling som är professor i filmvetenskap vid Lunds universitet.För att förstå hur denne bångstyrige och excentriske yngling kunde utvecklas till en ledargestalt som hela världen samlades kring när den fria världens existens hotades av nazismen under andra världskriget, måste vi blicka mot hans formativa år.Churchill vantrivdes på de engelska internatskolor han skickades till redan som åttaåring. Redan som barn var han en självständig och upprorisk själ, som bland annat vägrade lära sig klassiska språk som grekiska och latin. Trots en uppenbar intellektuell kapacitet hade han svårt att prestera i skolan. Först efter flera försök lyckades han bli antagen till militärhögskolan Sandhurst – en miljö där han för första gången fann trivsel och struktur.Churchill hade tidigt i livet satt som mål att en dag bli premiärminister, och hans envishet gjorde att han gång på gång kunde resa sig efter motgångar. Som ung vuxen valde han ett äventyrligt liv, först som officer och sedan som krigskorrespondent – med uppdrag på Kuba, i Sudan och under boerkriget i Sydafrika.Winston Churchill, som blev Storbritanniens premiärminister under andra världskriget, betraktas som en av världshistoriens mest inflytelserika personer. Enligt Wikipedia – som rangordnar historiska gestalter efter omfattningen och länkningen av deras artiklar – är han världshistoriens femte viktigaste person.Bild: Den unge Winston Churchill i uniform som underlöjtnant vid 4th Queen's Own Hussars i Aldershot år 1895, i början av sin militära karriär.

Danny Bird speaks with author Tim Bouverie to explore the complex, often uneasy rapport between Winston Churchill, Franklin D Roosevelt and Josef Stalin. Tim delves into the secrets, suspicions and towering ambitions that defined this remarkable chapter in wartime diplomacy, revealing how the fragile unity among these three leaders not only shaped the path to victory but also laid the uneasy foundations of the postwar world order. (Ad) Tim Bouverie is the author of Allies at War: The Politics of Defeating Hitler (Bodley Head, 2025).

En los albores del siglo XX, el káiser alemán desafió al poder naval de los británicos con una nueva y majestuosa flota. ¿Quién dominaría los mares del mundo? La respuesta se decidiría en la Primera Guerra Mundial. Después de la derrota de los británicos en Coronel, una batalla que costó las vidas de 1.700 marinos, Winston Churchill exigió una venganza implacable. Frente a las Islas Malvinas, casi la totalidad de la flota alemana fue hundida junto con 2.200 hombres. Solo dos cruceros, el Dresden y el Emden, consiguieron escapar. Entonces, Winston Churchill ofreció una recompensa por ellos, convirtiéndolos en los dos barcos más buscados de los Siete Mares. En los helados fiordos de la Patagonia y en el calor tropical de los Mares del Sur, las dos tripulaciones lucharon por la supervivencia. Después de una dramática cacería, los dos fueron hundidos. Sin embargo, la mayor parte de la tripulación escapó a la muerte y logró volver a casa sana y salva. Materiales de archivo descubiertos recientemente sobre algunas batallas navales decisivas, informes y diarios personales permiten una reconstrucción precisa de los hechos. Por primera vez, entrevistas con los descendientes e historiadores militares, imágenes de escenas de acción auténticas, así como recreaciones extraordinarias, nos permiten hacer justicia a estas dos apasionantes historias.

Winston Churchill demeure l'un des visages les plus emblématiques du XXᵉ siècle. Premier ministre britannique pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il incarne la résistance face à l'Allemagne nazie. Ses discours galvanisants, son courage et sa détermination ont fait de lui un symbole de liberté. Pourtant, derrière cette figure héroïque se cache un homme dont certaines positions politiques et morales suscitent aujourd'hui une profonde controverse.Car si Churchill fut le sauveur de la démocratie européenne, il fut aussi, selon de nombreux historiens, le produit et le défenseur d'un empire colonial profondément inégalitaire. En 1937, lors de la Commission Peel chargée d'examiner l'avenir de la Palestine mandataire, il déclara sans détour qu'il ne voyait « aucun tort » à ce que des peuples autochtones — les Aborigènes d'Australie ou les Amérindiens d'Amérique — aient été remplacés par une « race plus forte et de meilleure qualité ». Pour lui, la domination britannique n'était pas seulement légitime : elle relevait d'un ordre naturel des choses.Mais c'est en Inde, joyau de l'Empire, que ses choix politiques ont eu les conséquences les plus tragiques. En 1943, une famine d'une ampleur catastrophique frappe la province du Bengale. Environ trois millions de personnes meurent de faim. Les causes sont multiples — mauvaises récoltes, guerre, blocages des transports —, mais les archives montrent que Churchill refusa sciemment d'envoyer les cargaisons de blé disponibles dans les colonies voisines. Il justifia ce choix par des considérations racistes : selon lui, « les Indiens se reproduisent comme des lapins » et « étaient de toute façon mal nourris ».Pendant que des familles entières mouraient dans les rizières, le gouvernement britannique continuait d'exporter du riz indien pour nourrir ses troupes et ses alliés. Interpellé par ses ministres sur la gravité de la situation, Churchill répondit par des sarcasmes : il demanda pourquoi Gandhi n'était pas encore mort de faim.Aujourd'hui, ces propos ternissent l'image d'un héros longtemps présenté sans nuance. Pour beaucoup d'historiens, il faut reconnaître Churchill dans toute sa complexité : un stratège exceptionnel et un orateur de génie, mais aussi un homme pétri de préjugés raciaux et d'un colonialisme brutal.Ainsi, l'héritage de Churchill reste double. Il fut le défenseur du monde libre… mais pas de tous les peuples libres. Une gloire bâtie sur la victoire, et une ombre que l'Histoire, désormais, ne peut plus ignorer. Hébergé par Acast.

In this episode, Leslie sits down with writer and editor Daisy Prince to explore the real history behind Outlander. Daisy—whose work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Vanity Fair, Vogue, The Telegraph, and Tatler—takes us deep into the fascinating story of Clan Fraser, the real-life Scottish family that inspired the hit series.This conversation spans centuries — from 14th-century Scotland, when Sir Simon Fraser fought alongside William Wallace against the English, to the real events and characters that inspired Outlander. Among them is the infamous 11th Lord Lovat, whose beheading famously gave rise to the phrase “laughing my head off.”Leslie and Daisy also talk about the dashing Brigadier Simon “Shimi” Fraser, a World War II hero who led his men into the D-Day invasion—bagpiper and all. Shimi had a bounty on his head from Hitler, and Winston Churchill once described him as “the most beautiful man who ever cut a throat.”If you're an Outlander fan (or just love a good Scottish saga), you're going to love this one.

We are living in a period where respect is a neglected virtue — too often sacrificed in public discourse, online exchanges, and everyday interactions. Robert L. “Bob” Dilenschneider aims to change that, even if only one interaction at a time. Bob is the founder of The Dilenschneider Group, which, since October 1991, has provided strategic advice and counsel to Fortune 500 companies, professional organizations, trade associations, educational institutions, and leading families and individuals around the world. Bob's newest book, his 20th, is Respect: How to Change the World One Interaction at a Time. The book is a timely reflection on the urgent need for civility in an era of deep division. Drawing on both his life and professional experience and the wisdom of 13 admired leaders, Respect outlines five practical strategies for restoring civility and rebuilding mutual understanding. “It can feel like the world is broken,” Bob acknowledges in his book. The solution, he believes, does not rest with political leaders or other highly influential individuals but with individuals, regular citizens, who can take steps to restore a culture of respectfulness.

Winston Churchill famously remarked that the threat of the German U-Boats was the only thing that had “really frightened” him during World War Two. The U-Boats certainly claimed a bitter harvest among Allied shipping: nearly 3,000 ships were sunk, for a total tonnage of over 14 million tonnes, nearly 70% of Allied shipping losses in all theatres of the war. With justification, then, they are an integral part of the traditional narrative of the Battle of the Atlantic; a story of technological brilliance, dramatic sinkings, life and death, and – of course – the sinister, unseen threat of the U-Boats themselves. For Allied seamen during the war, the U-Boat was a hidden menace, a faceless killer lurking beneath the waves; and the urgent needs of survival afforded them little time or energy to consider the challenges and privations of their enemy. History, however, affords us that time and energy, and any pretence of comprehensiveness demands that we consider what life was like for the crews of those most claustrophobic vessels; packed into a steel hull, at the mercy of the enemy, of the elements – and of basic physics. Germany's U-Boat crews posted the highest per-capita losses of any combat arm during World War Two. Some 30,000 German submariners were killed – over 75% of the total number deployed – the vast majority of whom have no grave except the seabed. Using archival sources, unpublished diaries and existing memoir literature, Wolfpack: Inside Hitler's U-Boat War (Basic Books, 2025) by Roger Moorhouse gives the U-Boatmen back their voice, allowing their side of the narrative to be aired in a comprehensive manner for the first time. With that testimony, Wolfpack takes the reader from the heady early days of the war, when U-Boat crews were buoyed with optimism about their cause, through to the challenges of meeting the Allied counterthreat, to the final horror of defeat, when their submarines were captured by the enemy or scuttled in ignominy. Using the U-Boatmen's own voices to punctuate an engaging narrative, it tells their story; of courage, certainly, but also of fear, privation and – ultimately – failure. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Send us a textIn this episode of Navigating the Customer Experience, we sit down with Evan Siegel, Vice President of AI at eGain, where he leads the development of next-generation AI-powered conversational guidance. With a rich background that includes 16 years at Wells Fargo leading customer experience and contact center innovation, Evan brings deep insight into how technology can drive better service outcomes without losing the human touch.Evan's career journey began in entrepreneurship — running a successful residential painting business that grew to 300 employees before he sold it and pursued an MBA at Stanford. His experience at Wells Fargo honed his expertise in solving large-scale customer pain points and improving first-contact resolution in massive contact centers. Those experiences led him to eGain, a company dedicated to providing “the right answer to the right person at the right time, in the right channel.”Evan explains that eGain's AI-powered knowledge management platform helps companies clean, update, and centralize information so agents can quickly find accurate answers. This not only improves customer satisfaction but also transforms efficiency—some clients have seen up to 37% improvement in first-contact resolution, a 30-point rise in Net Promoter Score, and 50% reduction in training time. For instance, eGain supports the U.S. Veterans Administration, the country's largest healthcare provider, to deliver consistent, fast, and empathetic service across millions of interactions.A key theme in the discussion is balancing technology and empathy. Evan emphasizes that AI doesn't replace human connection—it enhances it by freeing up employees' mental space to focus on emotional intelligence and rapport-building. By handling the “how” of issue resolution, AI lets people focus on the “who.”He also shares how eGain builds knowledge bases for each company by analyzing customer inquiries, extracting top issues using AI, and rewriting existing materials to align with best practices for clarity and accessibility. This process—once lengthy and manual—can now be done in days or weeks.When asked about tools he can't live without, Evan points to AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity, which he uses daily as brainstorming and writing partners. His motto: “AI won't replace me, but someone who knows how to use AI better than me will.”Evan also discusses two books that shaped him: How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie, which taught him the power of genuine curiosity in relationships, and William Manchester's three-part biography of Winston Churchill, which inspired lessons in conviction, communication, and strategic thinking.Today, what excites Evan most is collaborative leadership—bringing teams together to brainstorm, check egos at the door, and make the best collective decisions. His guiding philosophy: “I don't need to be the smartest person in the room. I need to make the best decision coming out of the room.”He closes with another favorite quote: “You miss every shot you don't take.” For Evan, this embodies the spirit of innovation at eGain—experiment fast, learn fast, and keep improving.Listeners can connect with Evan on LinkedIn or email him at esiegel@egain.com to learn more about eGain's new AI self-service agent for small businesses, featuring reasoning capabilities, a free trial, and no-contract flexibility.Follow us on X @navigatingcx, and join our Navigating the Customer Experience Facebook community for more insights and resources.

Abbey Road Studios in London, England was the world's first purpose-built recording studio. Opened way back in 1931, this building and the people inside have been at the cutting edge of recording technology for over 90s years. Abbey Road Studios is most famous for being where The Beatles recorded almost all of their music, but it also drove innovation with stereo recording, multitracks, editing, and the shift from analog to digital recording.  In addition to all of those amazing Beatles records – which we'll get to – some other stuff recorded at Abbey Road includes Dark Side of the Moon and albums from Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Oasis, the Hollies, Radiohead, and the Zombies. Music scores for Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Marvel movies, and video game soundtracks for Halo, Call of Duty, and World of Warcraft. They even recorded some of Winston Churchill's famous speeches during World War II to help keep morale high.  From classical roots to rock rebellion, Abbey Road's always been ahead of the game, rewriting rules along the way. So kick back, feel the beat, and join us as we explore the studio that turned sound into a revolution. Let's roll! Episode Playlist Check out our episode playlist ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠h⁠ere⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

A hostage return and the signing of a cease-fire agreement signal a new chapter in the long-running dream of peace in the Middle East. Did it matter that the key negotiators, on the US side, were financiers and real-estate developers rather than scions of America's diplomatic corps? Russell Berman, a Hoover Institution senior fellow and codirector of Hoover's Working Group on the Middle East and the Islamic World, joins GoodFellows regulars Niall Ferguson and John Cochrane to discuss the sturdiness of the Trump White House's 20-point peace plan, the futures of Hamas and the Abraham Accords, the likelihood of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's reliving Winston Churchill's fate (a successful wartime leader rejected by a war-weary electorate), plus whether the “real estate-ism” approach to diplomacy is applicable to President Trump's upcoming meetings with his Russian and Chinese counterparts. After that, Niall and John reflect on the likelihood of a market crash (it is October, after all), the chances of a full-fledged tariff war with China, the merits of a US-Argentina currency swap, plus an ominous warning from the International Monetary Fund regarding global debt. Finally, the fellows salute the legendary economist Thomas Sowell, the subject of a Hoover Institution tribute later this month.   Subscribe to GoodFellows for clarity on today's biggest social, economic, and geostrategic shifts — only on GoodFellows.

"At long last, Mr. President.”—Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill This is the story of the second year of WWII and the United States' response.  As the war enters its second full year, things are looking dire for Britain: Germany has forced France into submission, the Blitz is in full swing, and the cash-strapped nation is running out of money to pay for US aid. Lend-Lease, or H.R. 1776, is the proposed solution; it'll allow Franklin to transfer munitions to “any country whose defense the President deems vital to the defense of the US.” But there is stiff opposition. Is the language too dictatorial? Does it make entering the war unavoidable? As Americans discuss the bill across the country, famed aviator Charles “Lucky Lindy” Lindbergh will argue against it, while recently defeated 1940 presidential candidate Wendell Willkie will argue for it. Nor are they the only ones disagreeing: workers are striking in record numbers. Building an “arsenal of democracy” means labor and business will have to settle their differences. Meanwhile, as FDR and Winston Churchill secretly meet for the first time in the frigid climes of the northern Atlantic, the Army and Navy are drilling down to brass tacks—what would it really mean if America enters the war? How many men would the nation need in uniform? Could American production cope with wartime demands? Pragmatic American leaders are preparing and planning just in case, mostly with their eyes on Germany … but increasingly on Japan. Relations are eroding swiftly. Perhaps Uncle Sam's greatest immediate threat isn't across the Atlantic but the Pacific … ____ Connect with us on HTDSpodcast.com and go deep into episode bibliographies and book recommendations join discussions in our Facebook community get news and discounts from The HTDS Gazette  come see a live show get HTDS merch or become an HTDS premium member for bonus episodes and other perks.
