Podcasts about Winston Churchill

Together, Winston Churchill and Dwight Eisenhower launched invasions, toppled tyrants, and shaped the world as the nations they served drifted apart. On this week's “Leaders and Legends” podcast, our guest is acclaimed historian Jonathan W. Jordan, and we discuss his fascinating new book “Ike and Winston: World War, Cold War, and an Extraordinary Friendship"See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The following interview is part of the 2025 Charleston Conference Leadership Interview Series. In this series, we sit down with leaders and innovators who are making a real difference in scholarly publishing, libraries, and the broader information world. Each conversation is a chance to hear firsthand how these decision makers tackle new challenges, rethink traditional models, and collaborate across sectors. Today's episode features the next conversation from the 2025 Charleston Conference Leadership Interview Series.  Heather Staines, Senior Consultant, Delta Think, and a Conference Director, talks with Frances Pinter, Director, Academic Relations, Central European University Press, and founder, SUPRR. Frances was born in Venezuela to Hungarian parents and lived on four continents by the time she was 20 years old, which she believes greatly influenced the international approach and outlook that she has held throughout her career. Frances has been a prolific figure, and a trail blazer, in Academic Publishing for over 50 years, working with companies of all different sizes and business cultures around the world. She is currently working to help Ukrainian publishers through SUPRR (Supporting Ukrainian Publishing Resilience and Recovery) which she founded. In this conversation, Frances talks with Heather about starting her own publishing company at a very young age while working on her PhD in international relations, and the importance of working with young authors and meeting people at a young age who challenged conventional wisdom, which stayed with her throughout her career. She also talks about her work in networking a computer system with Apple, why serving on industry committees is very important and the knowledge you can gain from being active in this capacity, and the story of how she won a contract against many big players to digitize the Winston Churchill archives. Frances also tells how she was influenced by an experience with a hands-on open access project in Africa that led to her founding of Knowledge Unlatched in 2012, which was acquired by Annual Reviews in 2025. Lastly, she talks with Heather about the role that librarians have played in her professional life.  The video of this interview can be found here: https://youtu.be/0XGbG5yY4y0 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/heatherstaines/  https://www.linkedin.com/in/frances-pinter-6091252/ Keywords: #CharlestonConference #AgainstTheGrain #KatinaMagazine #AnnualReviews #LeadershipInLibraries #InnovationInLibraries #TeamWork #Team #ConferenceEvolution #LibraryCommunity #Librarianship #ProfessionalDevelopment #LibrarianJourney #LibraryEducation #InformationAccess #LibraryCommunity #libraries #librarians #libraryCareer #librarySchool #LibraryLove #academic #AcademicPublishing #scholcomm #ScholarlyCommunication  #learning #learnon #information #leaders #leadership #2024ChsConf ##career #scholcomm #ScholarlyCommunication #libraries #librarianship #LibraryNeeds #LibraryLove #ScholarlyPublishing #AcademicPublishing #publishing #LibrariesAndPublishers #podcasts

At 18, Winston Churchill fell 29 feet from a bridge into a dry ravine, lay unconscious for three days, and spent nearly a year convalescing. What followed should have been a tragedy. Darren Hardy examines what actually happened next and why the year of forced stillness proved to be the pivot that launched one of the most consequential careers in modern history. This episode digs into what separates people who are undone by their worst setbacks from those who emerge from them permanently redirected. Get more personal mentoring from Darren each day.

‘Brexit means Brexit’ was de leuze van premier Theresa May. Het klonk vol overtuiging en zelfs een beetje parmantig, maar ook zij ging roemloos ten onder. En nog heel wat andere Britse politici verdwenen in de mist. Als slachtoffers van het welbewuste uittreden van het Verenigd Koninkrijk uit de Europese Unie. Op 23 juni is het tien jaar gelden dat het Brexit-referendum plaatsvond. 52 procent van de deelnemende Britten koos voor scheiding. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger duiken in de vaak onbekende en soms vergeten historie van die dramatische stap en de nasleep ervan tot nu toe. Een verhaal dat nog niet af is, want steeds meer Britten vinden dat er een grote fout gemaakt is. De turbulente nasleep zit vol paradoxen. Zo gebeurde in de EU precies het omgekeerde van wat de Brexit-voorstanders luidkeels verkondigden. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Omdat zijn eigen Tory Party al decennia ideologisch gespleten was over de rol van de Britten in Europa - en de Labour Party niet minder - beloofde hij een 'heronderhandeling' over die rol, te bekronen met een referendum. Die heronderhandeling stelde niet veel voor en bleek grotendeels overbodig. Camerons boodschap werd daardoor: eigenlijk hebben we het in de EU best naar ons zin en de kleine, nuttige aanpassingen van bestaande afspraken, die krijgen we. Het contrast met de ideologische, apocalyptische anti-EU-betogen kon niet groter. Het werd een campagne tussen onspectaculaire, technische agendapunten en bijna panische ondergangsvisioenen, waarin Brexit als allerlaatste kans voor de identiteit en welvaart van de Britse eilanden werd afgeschilderd. Die duistere paniek mobiliseerde angstige kiezers, op de achtergrond geholpen door Trumps adviseur Steve Bannon en het Kremlin. En het werkte. De conservatieve regering zich had nauwelijks voorbereid op de impact van het referendum. Vijf premiers op rij - na Cameron en May ook Boris Johnson, Liz Truss en Rishi Sunak - worstelden met 'Brexit means Brexit'. Wat betekende dat nou echt? Definitieve uittreding - in welke vorm dan ook - werd keer op keer uitgesteld. De EU-landen, aangevoerd door onderhandelaar Michel Barnier, lieten zich geen moment uit elkaar spelen en kwamen steeds weer met heldere technische oplossingen, waar de Britse ministers van terugschrokken. Toen Brexit eind 2020 echt een feit was, zat de schrik er goed in. De concrete gevolgen raakten ongeveer elke aspect van dagelijks leven. Dromen als van een welvarend 'Global Britain', als een 'Singapore aan de Noordzee', enorme besparingen op Brusselse bureaucratiekosten en dichte grenzen bleken luchtspiegelingen. De Britten leverden vooral veel welvaart in; banen en connecties met buren die klanten waren geweest. Zo ruïneerde Brexit het vertrouwen in politiek en politici verder. Brexit-initiator Nigel Farage stookte de verdeeldheid verder op. Labour van Keir Starmer profileerde zich als competent alternatief. Maar ook hij bleek de onderliggende effecten van een exit zonder plan of duidelijk politiek doel te niet goed te kunnen aanpakken, laat staan oplossen. Politieke versplintering en destabilisatie blijft domineren. En de Europese Unie zelf? De Europeanen waren niet blij, maar niettemin vrij snel opgelucht. Zonder de Britten kon de Unie zich op allerlei terreinen stevig herinrichten. Geen enkele lidstaat zou ooit nog vrijwillig zo'n suïcidale stap zetten. Viktor Orbán frustreerde graag, maar de EU verlaten? Dat nooit. Doordat de Britten wel weer meewilden doen met populaire EU-programma's als Erasmus en Horizon en zich met defensie-inspanningen ook meer op de EU ging richten kwam er zelfs flink wat geld in het laatje. Waar men de Britten als partners kon gebruiken, waren ze welkom. Waar niet, kon men ze buiten de deur houden. Omdat Londen geweigerd had bij de Brexit met de Unie een heldere structurele relatie in te richten, zat juist 'Brussel' achter de knoppen. Michel Barnier had de Britten er al voor gewaarschuwd: "Jammer is het, we wensen jullie alle goeds op je eigen nieuwe pad. Maar ook voor ons geldt nu 'life goes on'." *** Verder kijken Brexit: A Very British Coup?

In the summer of 1940, Britain stood alone. France had fallen, invasion seemed possible, and Winston Churchill faced a grave question: what should be done about the powerful French fleet? Fearing it might fall under German control, Britain launched Operation Catapult. At Mers el Kébir on 3 July 1940, the Royal Navy opened fire on its former ally, killing nearly 1,300 French sailors in one of the war's most painful and controversial decisions. For this episode, I am joined by Edward Abel Smith, author of 'A Hateful Decision', which tells the full story of this dramatic moment through new research and eyewitness accounts.

If you follow the English Premier League, you will know that Arsenal won the Premier League title a couple of weeks ago.  It's been a tough 6-year journey for their manager, Mikel Arteta, but what stood out is that no matter how hard things got, Arteta stuck to the standards he set at the club and, more importantly, focused on following his plan.  He knew that to take Arsenal back to the top, there had to be a plan, and to ensure the plan was followed, standards needed to be set. In this week's episode, we're looking at how your standards matter and why having a plan to fall back on will always give you clarity, focus and make better decision-making easier.   Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin   Learn more about the Quiet Productivity Method here Get Your Copy Of Your Time, Your Way: Time Well Managed, Life Well Lived The Working With… Weekly Newsletter Carl Pullein Learning Centre Carl's YouTube Channel Carl Pullein Coaching Programmes Subscribe to my Substack  The Working With… Podcast Previous episodes page Script | 419 Hello, and welcome to episode 419 of the Your Time, Your Way Podcast. A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  If you've followed me for any length of time, you will know I have written and spoken a lot about having standards.  Standards for how Long it takes you to respond to emails and messages, and how you manage your calendar, for example.  It's the standards you set for yourself that will ensure that you do the right things day after day. That if things go wrong, you have something to fall back on that feels familiar and keeps you doing the right things.  My communication standard is to respond to emails within 24 hours. This means that no matter how busy I am, if I have an actionable email I have not responded to that is approaching the 24-hour limit, I will do whatever it takes to respond, even if that means working a little extra time at the end of the day.  This week's question is related to these approaches. So to get us started, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Sonya. Sonya asks, Hi Carl, I love COD and the Time Sector System. Both have really helped me to get much more focused on what matters to me. But what frustrates me is that I still have too many days when I procrastinate and don't get what I want done. How do you stay so consistent?  Hi Sonya, thank you for your question. As I alluded to, it comes down to the standards you set for yourself. I know that sounds easy, and I know it is not, but the standards you set are what help you push through when you are not in the right frame of mind to do what needs to be done.  Let me explain.  It can be very tempting, when you have just finished reading a book or have taken a course, to be full of enthusiasm to change things.  And that's not a bad thing. But it's important to be realistic when setting up your processes and new way of doing things.  If you were to set up a two-hour closing-down routine at the end of each day, you would fail. It's too long.  Similarly, I've seen people get excited by the idea of having a solid morning routine. Then they add so many things to their morning routine that it takes them two or three hours to complete them.  That's never going to promote consistency. There will inevitably be days when you cannot complete those routines, and then you get it into your head that you're a failure or that having routines doesn't work for you. Neither of which is true.  The place to begin is with your non-negotiables. What must happen every day, no matter what?  I know many people, for instance, who will not go to bed until all the dishes have been washed and put away.  That might seem a small thing, but to the people who do that, it is their standard. They couldn't imagine going to bed without doing it.  One standard I try to get my coaching clients to follow is to do a five-minute daily planning session before they end their day.  That planning session is to review your calendar for appointments, look at your list of tasks, make sure it is realistic and to decide what your two must-do tasks will be.  That's it. Five minutes tops.  This is a realistic planning session. You can do it from your sofa and on your phone if necessary.  Once you have set it as a standard, you do this every day, including weekends and holidays. Now, weekends and holidays are easier. You will likely have fewer tasks and appointments, but it's a standard. You do it anyway.  Consistency can be hard when you don't have any clear standards. Yet, those standards need to be realistic.  One way to do this is to set minimums.  Imagine you decide to read a book every day. Now, I've seen people set very unrealistic targets here. This usually begins with deciding to read something like 50 books per year, which is then broken down into reading a book a week.  So far so good.  But what happens if you read something like Andrew Roberts' book on Winston Churchill or Walter Isaacson's biography of Leonardo Da Vinci? Both are over 1,000 pages. Those books will take you longer than a week to read.  That's why this kind of target setting is wrong.  Let's start with what your purpose is here. Is it to read a set number of books? If so, choose short books, and you'll hit your target. But it's more likely that you want to build the habit of reading. This means it doesn't matter how many books you read in any given year. All that matters is that you spend time reading each day.  So set a realistic minimum.  If you were to set the target at reading for a minimum of twenty minutes each day, it would not be long before you settled into a routine and just did your reading.  What happens is that the books you get into and enjoy reading, you'll read for longer than twenty minutes. Slower, harder books will likely have you reading for twenty minutes. That's fine; you're still reading. You did what you set out to do, and after twenty minutes, you can stop.  That's a realistic standard to set for yourself and one likely to become a non-negotiable.  Incidentally, you can do this with exercise and dealing with your messages. Set a daily minimum amount of time you will spend doing these activities.  And I should say there is some psychology behind the twenty-minute minimum. If you were to tell yourself you will spend an hour on a particular activity every day, your brain will push back.  On the days you are feeling tired, a little sick or ‘just not in the mood', that one hour will feel like an eternity. Twenty minutes, on the other hand, seems achievable, no matter how you feel. Remember, it's a minimum. Once you've done your twenty minutes, you can stop. Often you won't, but you can if you are still not feeling up to it.  I do this with my emails and messages. I like to finish my day with all actionable messages cleared. But there are days when, for one reason or another, I cannot do so. I then apply the twenty-minute minimum.  I tell myself I will spend twenty minutes clearing as many as I can.  It's this standard that makes it easy to keep on top of messages.  I began this episode by explaining how Arsenal's manager, Mikel Arteta, turned around the club by setting non-negotiable standards.  Arteta's attitude is that if you cannot accept these standards, then you're out the door. It's as simple as that.  And I saw this with Manchester United's former manager, a brilliant manager, Alex Ferguson. Ferguson took over the management of Manchester United in 1986. On his arrival, he set about setting some very high standards at the club.  It took around four years, but by setting those standards, Manchester United turned the 1990s into Manchester United's greatest generation.  Change is hard. It's particularly hard to stick to your new set of standards when things don't seem to be improving. When there's no immediate payoff.  Your old habits don't want to die, and they will fight to stay around. This is why trying to change everything all at once almost always fails.  Instead, start small. Daily planning is an easy place to start because all you are doing is reviewing your appointments for the next day, ensuring your list of tasks is realistic, and identifying your must-do tasks.  With practice, you will be able to do this in about two minutes, and the more you practice, the more you see the benefits of having clarity on what must be done and where you need to be each day.  From there, add in a weekly planning session. This is where you set your plan for the week and decide your objectives. It is not about reviewing all your tasks and projects. You're not reviewing, you're planning. Reviewing is entirely different.  The best time to review a project is when you've just finished working on it. The project is fresh in your mind, and you will know precisely what needs to happen next.  It's by having a plan that you will find you procrastinate less. You don't become frozen by the number of things you need to do. You know what your objectives are for the week, and you will do what needs to be done to accomplish them.  Commit to your plan, and you will have the energy to push towards it. Without a plan, you'll procrastinate because all you will see is a mountain of work to do, and you have no idea what to do or where to start.  Let me show you this in action:  Imagine you have thousands of emails in your email inbox, and you are desperate to get it under control and clean it out. But the sheer size of it freezes you. Where do you start? What would be the best way to go about it? And you'll be thinking this will take forever.  But what if you decided to start with the oldest ones and spend a minimum of 20 minutes a day on this project until it's done?  Let's be honest, if you've got thousands of emails in your inbox, it doesn't really matter where you start. You've just got to start somewhere.  Twenty minutes a day, from the oldest to the newest. Now that's a plan. And you'll find that by starting with the oldest first, you'll be deleting a lot. Most of what you have will be out of date, moved on or already resolved. That builds momentum, which in itself generates energy.  If you'd like to learn more about setting your non-negotiables, having a plan for the day and a set of clear objectives for the week, my recently released Quiet Productivity Method programme will help you.  It's packed with ideas like these, along with the right set of tools to give you clarity, focus, and a sense of calm throughout your day.  I'll leave a link in the show notes for you to learn more about this immersive programme.  Thank you, Sonya, for your question, and I hope this answer has helped.  Thank you also to you for listening, and it just remains for me now to wish you a very, very productive week.   

From the phone that sits in his pocket, a person can now order almost anything online and have it delivered to his door the next morning. For all of human history, no one on earth had that kind of power, and now, within a single lifetime, every middle-class American has it. Walmart or Amazon or other major e-commerce platforms will bring you whatever you want: a vintage edition of a particular book, a specific article of clothing in a specific size, same-day delivery of kosher pastrami from Costco. Americans are now used to getting what they want, when they want it, with very little delay. That's because the interpretation of vast amounts of data has already told retailers that a person is likely to want diapers and baby formula, or the new Winston Churchill biography, or, having bought a new phone, an extra phone charger, already prepositioned in nearby warehouses, just waiting for someone to want it and press "ship." As a result, it's hard for us to understand intuitively why some things take time to manufacture, and why, when we read reports of missile and interceptor stockpiles, the American military, with all its might, can't just order up another arsenal and have it at the ready. After this spring's combat operations against Iran, the U.S. has used up a lot of missiles. Here are some numbers, drawn from analysis published this spring by the Center for Strategic and International Studies. In the course of Operation Epic Fury, the United States fired over 1,000 Tomahawk cruise missiles from a prewar inventory of approximately 3,100. Recent annual production is less than 200, and replacement is not projected until late 2030. Up to 1,430 Patriot interceptors were expended from a prewar inventory of roughly 2,330, at a production rate of 650 per year—half of which go to allied nations. And 290 of America's 360 interceptors for Terminal High Altitude Area Defense—the most advanced missile-defense system we field, known as THAAD—were fired. We produce about 96 of these interceptors per year. Needless to say, there are other things that we need those missiles for. And some strategists believe that China or another adversary might look at the state of American munitions and decide that a window of opportunity has opened up. How did the most powerful military in the history of the world arrive at this moment? What does the supply chain behind a Patriot missile actually look like, all the way down to the raw materials? And what would serious industrial mobilization require? These are among the questions that Mosaic's editor Jonathan Silver takes up with Ryan McBeth. McBeth spent twenty years in the U.S Army as an infantryman, and is now an intelligence analyst with a popular YouTube channel he uses to explain military affairs to non-specialists. You can learn more about him, and follow his work, at ryanmcbeth.substack.com. In today's podcast, McBeth explains why he is not quite so worried about the state of the American arsenal.

In this solo episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, Jonathan Thomas delivers his definitive guide to Oxford — his favorite city in England outside of London and the subject of his guidebook 101 Oxford Travel Tips and Tricks. From the bleary-eyed chaos of his first visit in 2012 with an angry 16-month-old and the Mini Cooper factory ring road at midnight, to two stays as a student on the Oxford Experience program, Jonathan brings nearly 15 years of personal history with the city to bear on a comprehensive, enthusiastic, and practically useful travel guide. The episode covers how to get there, how long to stay, the Oxford Experience immersive student program, the colleges you must see, the Bodleian Library's remarkable layers, the essential museums, the unrivaled bookstore scene led by Blackwell's and its famous five-mile Norrington Room, Oxford's extraordinary literary connections from Lewis Carroll to Tolkien to Philip Pullman, the day trips that demand your time — including Blenheim Palace and the Cotswolds — and the practical tips that will make your visit infinitely more enjoyable.

Two days minimum is the right call; three is better. Oxford is just 60 miles and 40-45 minutes by direct train from London Paddington, making it one of the easiest day trips or overnights in Britain — and you can also get there direct by bus from Heathrow without going into London at all. The Oxford Experience — a residential immersive programme at Christchurch offering one-week courses for adults in July and August — is Jonathan's single highest recommendation for anyone who wants to truly inhabit the city. Courses cost £1,500–£2,000 all-in and include room, board, lectures, and excursions; book in November when the schedule is released as popular courses fill within hours. The Bodleian Library is not one library but several — the Divinity School, Duke Humphrey's Library, the Radcliffe Camera, and the Weston Library — and the best way to see them properly is to book a guided tour well in advance, as they sell out. Blackwell's bookshop on Broad Street is arguably the greatest bookshop in the world — the underground Norrington Room alone has five miles of shelving beneath Trinity College — and Jonathan has never left without spending several hundred pounds. Staff will package books in brown paper and ship them back to the US at reasonable rates. Oxford's literary connections are extraordinary: Lewis Carroll wrote Alice in Wonderland at Christchurch (Alice was the Dean's daughter); Tolkien and C.S. Lewis met with the Inklings at the Eagle and Child every Tuesday through the 1930s and 40s; Philip Pullman set His Dark Materials here; Oscar Wilde studied at Magdalen; and Inspector Morse has made every corner of the city feel like a crime scene. The Eagle and Child — the Inklings' famous pub on St. Giles' Street — has been closed since COVID and is currently being refurbished by new owners. It must reopen as a pub by heritage law, and is expected to reopen either in 2026 or 2027; keep an eye on the show notes link for updates. If you're in Oxford for even one day, you must go to Blenheim Palace — just eight miles away by bus, the only non-royal non-episcopal palace in England, birthplace of Winston Churchill, UNESCO World Heritage Site, and arguably the greatest country house in Britain. A bus from Oxford drops you at the gates. Jonathan's top Oxford hack: stay for at least one night. By 4-5pm the tour buses are gone, Oxford becomes a completely different city, and the cultural life — theatre, bookshop talks, music — begins. Arrive early to beat crowds at the sights, then save the evenings for culture and quieter exploration. Avoid mid-April to mid-June (exam season, colleges restrict access), avoid July if you run hot (medieval stone buildings have no air conditioning and bake in the heat), and buy a fan the moment you arrive if visiting in summer. September and October are ideal months to visit. ⠀ Soundbites "Most of my early memories of Oxford were driving the ring road at midnight with a toddler who would not go to sleep and who would only stop crying if he was in the car. We drove round and around, seeing nothing other than the Mini Cooper plant every time we went past." — Jonathan on his first trip to Oxford in 2012. "Oxford has this warmth to it — that yellow beige Cotswold stone, weathered and warm. And there's this scholarly, bookish vibe from the place that you don't really get anywhere else. It's not just a campus. Oxford University is the town of Oxford." — Jonathan on why Oxford grabs you. "I was immediately spellbound. I loved it immediately. And that's the thing about Oxford — it grabs you once you visit, and you're walking around this beautiful architecture surrounded by deep, deep history. They don't even know exactly how old the university is. It's over 800 years old. When Oxford was founded, the Aztec Empire hadn't even reached its peak." — Jonathan on falling in love with Oxford in 2016. "There were riots. There was full scale urban warfare in Oxford in 1355 — the St. Scholastica's Day riot. 63 scholars and 30 townspeople were killed. As a result, the town was forced to pay annual reparations to the university in a formal ceremony that continued into the Victorian era." — Jonathan on Oxford's violent town vs. gown history. "You basically get to live as an Oxford student for a week. Morning is lectures, afternoon is tours and excursions, evening is formal dinner in the Great Hall. And one night you're invited to high table — suit and tie, port, mingling with the professors. It's a very quintessentially British experience." — Jonathan on the Oxford Experience programme. "I've never gotten out of the Norrington Room without spending several hundred pounds. Let me just say that. Five miles of shelving underground beneath Trinity College. So many books." — Jonathan on Blackwell's legendary underground bookshop. "The Pitt Rivers Museum is like the Victorian cabinet of curiosities. Dimly lit, quiet — maybe people don't even know it's there. Polynesian canoes, samurai outfits, weapons, armour. A strange and wonderful melange of human culture from all over the world." — Jonathan on one of Oxford's most atmospheric museums. "If you're in Oxford and you don't go to Blenheim Palace, you've wasted a trip to Oxford. It's the only non-royal, non-episcopal palace in England. I would argue it's probably the greatest house in Britain. And a bus from Oxford drops you right at the gates." — Jonathan on Blenheim Palace. "By four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the tour buses are gone. And it's just you and the people who live and work and study in Oxford. Oxford becomes a completely different place. That's when the cultural life wakes up." — Jonathan's key Oxford overnight hack. "Scriptum on Turl Street — if you're a bookish type, you will love this place. Beautiful blank books, journals, diaries, fancy pens. I have a beautiful leather book from there with gorgeous cream pages that I cherish so much I haven't written anything in it. I'm afraid to ruin it." — Jonathan on his favourite hidden gem shop in Oxford. ⠀ Chapters 00:00 Introduction — Jonathan sets up the Oxford guide episode and plugs his Oxford guidebook 01:48 Jonathan's Relationship with Oxford — Brideshead Revisited, American universities, and the Oxford DNA in US campus culture 03:30 First Visit: Oxford 2012 — Diamond Jubilee trip, an angry toddler, and the ring road at midnight 06:20 Second Visit: Oxford 2016 — The train from Paddington, the proper day, and falling in love properly 08:42 A Brief History of Oxford — Ford of the Oxen, Alfred the Great, Henry II, 800 years, and the St. Scholastica's Day riot 13:30 The University Explained — 44 colleges, town vs. gown, the founding of Cambridge by Oxford exiles, and Oxford today 16:10 How to Get There — Train from Paddington, Oxford Tube bus, direct from Heathrow, and why not to drive 19:30 Getting Around Oxford — Walking, taxis, park-and-ride pitfalls, and Tolkien's grave 21:10 Day Trip vs. Overnight — Why staying beats leaving, and how Oxford transforms after 4pm 23:40 The Oxford Experience Programme — Christchurch, Worcester College, the Nelson course, high table, and the Enigma course Jonathan wants to do next 33:15 Accommodation Options — Hotels, staying in colleges out of term time, and the Randolph (Inspector Morse's pub) 35:20 The College System Explained — 44 semi-independent colleges, how to apply, porters, scouts, and visiting hours 38:00 Must-See Colleges — Christchurch, Magdalen, Worcester, Merton, Wadham (Brideshead), and the peculiar All Souls 43:00 The Bodleian Library — Five buildings, Duke Humphrey's Library, the Radcliffe Camera, the Divinity School, and why you must book a tour 47:00 Radcliffe Square & St. Mary's Church Tower — The most beautiful urban space in Britain and the best views in Oxford 48:40 The Ashmolean Museum — Britain's first public museum, the Alfred Jewel, Guy Fawkes's lantern, Turner paintings, and it's free 51:00 The Pitt Rivers Museum — Through the Natural History Museum, the shrunken heads, Polynesian canoes, and the Victorian cabinet of curiosities 53:00 Carfax Tower, Oxford Castle & Prison, and the Covered Market — Views, ruins, Brown's Café, and Ben's Cookies 55:30 The Botanic Garden & Broad Street — Riverside walks, the Martyrs' Cross, and the Reformation in Oxford 56:30 Shopping in Oxford — The High Street, Blackwell's, the Norrington Room, OUP Bookshop, Scriptum, The Last Bookshop, and why to skip the Harry Potter tat 01:03:00 Literary Oxford — Lewis Carroll, Tolkien, C.S.

In this special episode, recorded at the Neukom Center's Rule of Law Speaker Series, Judge J. Michael Luttig, former Fourth Circuit judge and ex-General Counsel of Boeing,  discusses a looming constitutional crises facing the United States. Drawing on Lincoln, Paine, and Churchill, Judge Luttig argues that the Trump administration's actions represent not the exploitation of constitutional vulnerabilities, but unconstitutional conduct that federal courts have repeatedly struck down. He expresses particular alarm over the Supreme Court's use of the shadow docket to stay lower court decisions without briefing, argument, or written reasoning — a practice he characterizes as a crisis within the Court itself. Judge Luttig also addresses the DOJ's institutional corruption, Congress's abdication of war powers and tariff authority, and the Supreme Court's sweeping immunity ruling in Trump v. United States. Throughout, he challenges law students to treat their professional oath as a solemn civic obligation in a moment of national testing. Links: Honorable J.

I want to make the theme of today's show, success.Winston Churchill defined success in an interesting way. He said, “Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.”Leftists woefully go from failure to failure, which is why they are not successful, at least by Churchill's definition.Consider all the failures of Leftists, many of which we will discuss.They've been caught scamming every support system set up to help the poor and needy. They've allowed the scams to go on for years, and now they claim to be addressing things.Ilhan Omar is closer to being kicked out of Congress.Comey is closer to finding out his fate.Honestly, the list of scoundrels who are in trouble is too long.And I know that many of you doubt that these people will get justice, and I understand.But we are closer to it than we've ever been. And look who is doing the heavy lifting. THE PEOPLE.JD Vance credited Nick Shirley for the new fraud task force that Vance is heading. And are you seeing the results?Are we winning in identifying fraud and prosecuting the Leftists? How many people have been arrested and prosecuted? How many of them would have been, had it not been for US electing Trump?More important, how many of these fraudsters are trying to disassociate themselves from their criminal enterprises?Memorial weekend just ended and look at what the Left memorialized:Lying, cheating, stealing, murder, and mayhem.It's bad enough when it' a 2-day weekend, since we can't get all that news in. A 3-day weekend really compounds the problem.I honestly get frustrated that we can't get all this news in…I dare you to look at the news from ANY major city and tell me what was good for Democrats.

In a world full of rapid shifts and constant changes, learning how to effectively navigate uncertainty is the ultimate superpower. In this episode, host Doug sits down with human behavior expert, psychologist, and sociologist Joe Pane. Joe is the author of the best-selling book Courage to Be You and the creator of the Emotional Fitness Formula, an accreditation program that has trained over 7,000 mindset coaches worldwide. Joe breaks down the critical differences between standard personality tests and true behavioral profiling using the Extended DISC instrument. You'll learn about the four core energy types—Dominant (D), Influence (I), Stability (S), and Comply (C)—and how true emotional fitness requires the flexibility to override your default programming to adapt to any environment. The conversation also dives deep into the mysterious mechanics of intuition. From a retired Brigadier General navigating high-stakes combat zones in Afghanistan to primal hunter-gatherer survival instincts, Joe reveals why intuition isn't just an abstract concept—it's a neurological "unconscious library" that is frequently smothered by the overthinking of the human ego. Tune in to discover practical ways to step out of anxiety, engage in purpose-driven actions, and listen to future intuitions to solve your most complex problems. Key Takeaways & What You'll Learn Personality vs. Behavior: Why behavioral profiling tracks your energetic signature and emotional themes, rather than just how you think. Future Intuitions: How setting clear strategic intents allows unexpected solutions to map onto your upcoming business and life timelines, much like Winston Churchill in WWII.

"We shall not fail now. Let us move forward steadfastly together into the storm and through the storm."- Winston Churchill, February 1942This Memorial Day, we're republishing our favorite episode where we brought together both parts of our original Storm of War series into one complete telling of the Second World War, with speeches from Churchill, Eisenhower, and others who led through it.From Versailles to Hitler's rise, to the fall of France, to the Battle of Britain. We show you Moscow's frozen gates all the way to Stalingrad. Then, from Normandy to the bunker in Berlin.Here is the full story, on the day we set aside to remember those who didn't return.We honor them by remembering what they faced, what they won, and what it cost.From all of us at 15-Minute History, have a very happy Memorial Day.

Newly declassified wartime files reveal MI5 once feared Nazi paratroopers could attempt to assassinate King George the Sixth, the young Princess Elizabeth and Winston Churchill during the final months of World War Two. We also examine fresh reports that King Charles is quietly trying to repair the relationship between William and Harry through one of his closest aides, Theo Rycroft. Plus, the King's environmentalism turns up in an unexpected place, the hidden history of the Crown Jewels, plans to renovate a long-abandoned Windsor cottage near Frogmore, and the discovery of a four-hundred-year-old tennis court map tied to Henry the Eighth and Windsor Castle.Get episodes of Palace Intrigue by becommming a paid subscriber on Apple Podcasts.

Apriremo la nostra rubrica di attualità con una discussione sui tesi colloqui tra Stati Uniti, Groenlandia e Danimarca riguardo al futuro della Groenlandia. Il dialogo successivo verterà sull'accordo siglato da trentasei Paesi per istituire un tribunale speciale all'Aia con l'obiettivo di processare il Presidente russo Vladimir Putin per il crimine di aggressione contro l'Ucraina. Nella nostra sezione scientifica parleremo di una società governata dall'intelligenza artificiale, gestita da un consiglio di bot di IA modellati su leader storici come Winston Churchill, Eleanor Roosevelt, Nelson Mandela e Gandhi. E infine, parleremo del più grande evento musicale d'Europa, l'Eurovision Song Contest.    La seconda parte di questa puntata è dedicata alla lingua e alla cultura italiana. L'argomento grammaticale di oggi è The indefinite pronouns: alcuni and altri. Ne troverete diversi esempi nel dialogo dedicato all'invasione dei pavoni a Punta Marina, una frazione di Ravenna: un caso locale diventato clamorosamente mediatico. Nel finale, daremo spazio all'espressione idiomatica del giorno, mettere nel dimenticatoio, attraverso il ricordo di Alex Zanardi, ex pilota automobilistico e atleta paralimpico tra i più famosi in Italia. - Nonostante le altre crisi mondiali, gli Stati Uniti continuano a spingere per un accordo sulla Groenlandia - 36 Paesi istituiscono un tribunale per processare Vladimir Putin - Una nuova micronazione asiatica è governata da bot di intelligenza artificiale modellati su leader storici - La Bulgaria vince per la prima volta l'Eurovision Song Contest - Il caso dei pavoni a Punta Marina - Alex Zanardi, il campione che ci ha insegnato a vivere

Abriremos la sección de actualidad del programa discutiendo las tensas conversaciones entre EE. UU., Groenlandia y Dinamarca sobre el futuro de Groenlandia. La siguiente conversación tratará sobre el acuerdo alcanzado por treinta y seis países para establecer un tribunal especial en La Haya para procesar al presidente ruso Vladímir Putin por el crimen de la guerra contra Ucrania. En la sección de ciencia, hablaremos de una sociedad gobernada por un consejo de bots de IA modelizados en base a líderes históricos como Winston Churchill, Eleanor Roosevelt, Nelson Mandela y Ghandi. Y, para acabar, charlaremos sobre el mayor acontecimiento musical de Europa, el festival de la canción de Eurovisión. El resto del episodio de hoy lo dedicaremos a la lengua y la cultura españolas. La primera conversación incluirá ejemplos del tema de gramática de la semana, Se accidental y Se Intransitivador. En esta conversación hablaremos del movimiento viral Café Sin Especialidad. Este critica con humor en las redes sociales el elitismo de las cafeterías modernas en España surgidas en los últimos cinco años. Mucha gente se queja de estas franquicias modernas, pues están acabando con el bar tradicional y con ello, con la cohesión social de los barrios de las grandes ciudades. Sin embargo, los turistas y nómadas digitales buscan lugares tranquilos donde tomar café de calidad. Por tanto, también son necesarios. Y, en nuestra última conversación, aprenderemos a usar una nueva expresión española, Ir a tomar viento. Discutiremos el auge de grupos políticos de ultraderecha, con líderes que tienen cierta influencia en las redes sociales. Actualmente vivimos en un entorno social muy polarizado y la gente prefiere creer aquello que apoye sus propias ideas, aunque no sea del todo verdad. Pero esta opción suele durar poco y estos líderes caen de su pedestal. A pesar de otras calamidades en el mundo, EE. UU. sigue presionando para llegar a un acuerdo sobre Groenlandia 36 países establecen un tribunal para procesar a Vladímir Putin Un nuevo micropaís asiático está gobernado por bots de IA modelizados en base a líderes históricos Bulgaria gana por primera vez el Festival de Eurovisión Café sin especialidad Se Acabó la Fiesta

The Justice Department yesterday indicted former Cuban dictator Raoul Castro and others for three murders of American citizens thirty years ago. To paraphrase Winston Churchill, it may mark “the beginning of the end” of the regime he and his brother, Fidel, have inflicted on the island's longsuffering population for nearly seven decades. The indictment was preceded by an oil embargo engineered by President Trump and a man whose family fled to freedom from Cuba, Secretary of State Marco Rubio. It has precipitated sustained blackouts and economic privation that has translated into increasing public demands for liberty. It's hard to overstate the strategic implications of Cuba's possibly imminent liberation. The Kremlin and Communist China have long weaponized the island, collecting signals intelligence there, running spy operations here and supporting insurgencies and hostile regimes throughout the Western hemisphere.  Let us pray for Cuba Libre. This is Frank Gaffney.

Winston Churchill viewed the Soviet Union as a necessary bulwark against Hitler, leading him to treat Stalin as a "brother-in-arms" despite Soviet crimes. To keep the Russian army fighting as "cannon fodder," Churchill diverted crucial equipment—including 200 Hawker Hurricane fighters and tanks meant for Singapore and North Africa—directly to Stalin. This massive transfer of resources retarded Britain's own domestic manufacturing and aircraft industries. Sean McMeekin argues that Churchill's "historical imagination" allowed the British to avoid direct land combat with Germany for several years while the Russians suffered the brunt of the casualties, leading to modern Russian moral blackmail arguments.

Part 2 of Jewish History and Trauma - In this episode Rabbi Spiro and Professor Elan Javanfard explore the chronological and psychological history and experiences of Sephardic and Mizrachi Jews and how their past has shaped and created those communities into the way we know them today. How does honour, respect and family play a huge part in these communities in both healthy and unhealthy ways, and how does a perspective on who is “outside” and “inside” create a loyalty and Jewish practice that is unique. Welcome to a special three-part series of Remember What's Next called Jewish History and Trauma. Ellie Bass and  Rabbi Ken Spiro are in conversation with Professor Elan Javanfard who is a  researcher and expert in Jewish intergenerational trauma. Together, we are going to trace the full arc: where our collective wounds come from, how they live in us today especially now and what healing might actually look like going forward.Find out more about Professor Javanfard and his work: https://www.elanjavanfard.com/ and check out his blog: https://nefesh.org/blogs/Ejavanfard Want the full story? Start from episode one.As Winston Churchill said, "The farther back you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see." That's exactly what we're doing — going all the way back, so we can understand the present and shape what comes next.

FDR seeks to modify the Neutrality Acts to provide aid to the Allies, sparking a fierce debate with Lindbergh and non-interventionist senators. These critics deeply distrust Roosevelt, believing he is incrementally leading the nation toward war through deceptive policy shifts. FDR counters by labeling his opponents "ignorant" and "isolationist," while carefully shaping public opinion to avoid the political backlash faced by Woodrow Wilson. The rapid fall of France in 1940 reinforces Lindbergh's warnings, yet it also prompts FDR to initiate the destroyers-for-bases deal with Winston Churchill. This transaction effectively signals the end of true American neutrality. (3/8)1936

Today's message is really about taking the long view. The human attention span is short, like really, really short. Between the world wars, Winston Churchill warned Europe that Hitler was a threat to the continent at least, but people ignored him. And then, when the Nazis turned violent, the people turned to Churchill as their prime minister. Having led the country through another costly war to preserve freedom, Churchill was defeated for reelection in the last days of World War II. It's like the people had forgotten his priceless contribution to world peace. He knew the war would take a long time and that it would be costly, and the people wanted to avoid thinking about it, and even later wanted it over quickly. And that's rarely how life works. Churchill returned as Prime Minister in the 1950s, but his experiences show that people mostly want short-term solutions. Working for the long goal is rarely popular. Jeremiah 15:15 says, “Lord, you understand. Remember me and care for me, avenge me on my persecutors. You are longsuffering. Do not take me away. Think of how I suffer reproach for your sake.” Here God is reminding us that often, we're required to stay in it for the long haul. Nowhere is this more true than in the pursuits of peace and contentment. That kind of thing is not built quickly, and not surprisingly, too many people don't stay with it, and they stumble along looking for solutions in the wrong places.If you're in a bad place today, you're going to have to start with basic steps. Talk to Jesus and tell Him you're struggling. Maybe you have a vague sense of depression and just can't locate the direct cause. Take the example of people who did understand the source of true happiness and were committed to seeing it through, no matter how long it took. Abraham knew the value of prayer, and he waited for decades to have a son. Hannah was also unable to have children, but she prayed and stayed faithful, and eventually, God gave her a child, and she felt fulfilled. Joseph spent years in exile in prison because of his brother's actions, but his faith didn't waver. He actually found his contentment in the middle of these trials, and eventually, God restored his family, and all he had lost. If you're depressed or ground down from money worries, or facing some other huge challenge—go to God right now and tell Him you need peace for your soul. Tell him you fully trust Him and will wait with as much patience and faith as you can. It's then you start the clock ticking on your difficult circumstances, and while you wait, your heart will be at rest. Let's pray. Father, thank you for the good gifts that we already have. Help us be grateful for those things that sustain life. We fully trust you to bring about our delivery from life's circumstances precisely the moment you have chosen. Sustain our spirits on this journey, Lord. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

A meeting of great minds: William Shakespeare, Winston Churchill, and the men of Monty Python.

During the Second World War, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, joined by Winston Churchill, sat down with Chinese nationalist leader Chiang Kai-Shek. The purpose of the meeting, now known as the Cairo Conference, was to strategize against the Empire of Japan and make preparations for a post-war Asia.  Nearly 30 years later, President Richard Nixon, seeing an opportunity to widen the distance between China (now Communist) and the Soviet Union, paid a visit to China to meet Mao Zedong, the chair of the Communist Party. This opened diplomatic relations between the countries.  Since then, presidents have held meetings with Chinese leaders with some regularity. And President Trump is no exception. This week, he will be meeting with Xi Jinping, the President of the People's Republic of China. From AI to Iran, there is a lot on the table. To understand what to expect from this meeting, I sat down with Andrew Harding, Policy Analyst for National Securityand Indo-Pacific Affairs at The Heritage Foundation.    Email us with thoughts, questions, or suggestions: HeritageExplains@heritage.org   More on China from Heritage Experts: https://www.heritage.org/china 

During the Second World War, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, joined by Winston Churchill, sat down with Chinese nationalist leader Chiang Kai-Shek. The purpose of the meeting, now known as the Cairo Conference, was to strategize against the Empire of Japan and make preparations for a post-war Asia.

In the 1980s, Pamela identified the potential in a defeated Bill Clinton, mentoring him on public presentation and helping him believe in his political future. She used her Georgetown home to raise massive funds, becoming a kingmaker who helped shape the modern Democratic electoral machine. Beyond domestic politics, Pamela played an extraordinary role in Cold War diplomacy. In 1983, she and an ailing Averell traveled to Moscow to open back-channels with Soviet leader Yuri Andropov. Later, Raisa Gorbachev specifically requested to visit Pamela's home, bypassing Nancy Reagan to acknowledge Pamela's role in fostering nuclear arms treaties. During the 1992 election, Pamela drew on Winston Churchill's 1945 defeat to convince Clinton that a popular war-time president like George H.W. Bush could be beaten on economic issues. Clinton credits his reach to the White House to Pamela's strategic guidance and support. (7/8)1654

Following the war, Pamela entered a transactional yet passionate relationship with Gianni Agnelli, the heir to the Fiatempire. Since Fiat had supplied the Axis powers, Agnelli required significant reputation rehabilitation to prevent Allied confiscation of the company. Pamela utilized the political skills she learned from Churchill to introduce Agnelli to world leaders, including JFK, effectively washing away his wartime associations and establishing him as a global statesman. In exchange, Agnelli provided her with a lavish lifestyle, including massive jewels and a Paris apartment. However, her personal life remained complicated; her relationship with her son, Winston, was notoriously difficult and lacked maternal warmth. Young Winston often felt neglected and eventually sided with his father, Randolph, which deeply hurt Pamela. While she remained close to Winston Churchill, her presence often sparked jealousy among his biological children, who struggled with her unprecedented access to their father. (4/8)1650 HOLLAND

Alcock and Brown's 1919 triumph predated Charles Lindbergh's famous crossing by eight years; Lindbergh himself credited them for showing the way. Following their landing, the pair was celebrated across London, eventually attending a luncheon where a young Winston Churchill, then Minister of War and Air, presented the £10,000 prize. Churchill was an early and industrious devotee of aviation. The saga concluded with a poignant banquet in Mayfair where twenty people, including former rivals and engineers, gathered around a single table. The atmosphere shifted from intense competition to a collective celebration of an achievement that changed the world. The Vickers Vimy remains a romantic symbol of this breakthrough in London's Science Museum. David Rooney reflects that this "big hop" into the unknown represents a human spirit of discovery that will likely be mirrored in a future trip to Mars. (4/4)1925

In this episode of Book Club with Michael Smerconish, Michael speaks with psychiatrist and author Dr. Nassir Ghaemi about the surprising connection between mental illness and exceptional leadership. Drawing from Dr. Ghaemi's books "A First-Rate Madness" and the newly published "Soul on Fire", the conversation explores how figures like Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., and Ted Turner may have drawn strength from struggles with depression or bipolar disorder during times of crisis. It's a thought-provoking discussion about stigma, creativity, resilience, and the misunderstood realities of mental health. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

For this month's episode of Magus we're raising up the Divine Feminine and discussing the life and works of Dion Fortune!Both Violet Mary Firth in Llandudno in Welsh Caernarfonshire, she claimed always to be from Yorkshire - just like the claimed she could astral project, psychically communicate with the living and the dead, and seek advice within the Otherworld from the Illuminati of 'Hidden Masters.' After entering womanhood during the Great War, serving as a Land Girl, and training as a pioneering psychotherapist, Dion Fortune, as an alter-ego, emerged both in fiction and 'non-fiction' to explode patriarchal traditions within occult circles.Her cult, which grew to tens of thousands in the 1930s, then claimed to have raised the soul of King Arthur who, working alongside Winston Churchill and the Virgin Mary, helped Dion to topple Fascism.Did she believe some out-there stuff? Absolutely. Was she a fraud? Well, that's harder to say, but from psychic duels with hypnotist headmistresses to ropes of ectoplasm, battles with vampires to creative approaches to inter-personal relationships, this is her magical life, and we hope you find it inspiring!

The partnership between Dwight D. Eisenhower and Winston Churchill was one of the defining relationships of the Second World War. At the heart of the Anglo American alliance, they worked closely to plan major operations, manage coalition warfare, and steer the Allies towards victory. In this episode, I am joined by Jonathan W. Jordan to explore how that relationship worked in practice, shaped by the pressures of global conflict and the demands of leadership at the highest level. The conversation also looks at how their connection continued beyond the war, as both men navigated the uncertain early years of the Cold War, drawing on insights from Jonathan's book Ike and Winston.   patreon.com/ww2podcast

THE MAKING OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, FEATURING THADDEUS MCCOTTER, 4-21-261940 WINSTON CHURCHILLThe current political landscape of 2026 bears a striking resemblance to the 2006 and 2008 election cycles, suggesting a potential midterm realignment. In 2006, the Democratic Party, led by strategist Rahm Emanuel, successfully utilized the mantra "send George Bush a message" to dismantle what was then considered a "permanent" Republican majority. This shift was driven by public dissatisfaction with the Iraq War and emerging economic fissures that eventually led to the 2008 Great Deflation.Today, the Republican Party faces similar "headwinds" as it navigates the midterm of Donald Trump's second term. The sources indicate that the American economy is currently fragile, plagued by inflation, rising oil prices, and supply chain disruptions exacerbated by the conflict with Iran. Thaddius Mart observes that while macroeconomic numbers might not look "terrible" to some, many Americans feel the "hearth of home" is endangered due to the high cost of gas, food staples, and the threat of AI destroying entry-level jobs. This economic anxiety mirrors the "distressing period" of 2006, where the public sought a "better path" away from the incumbent party.A significant challenge for the current Republican majority is that President Trump "sucks the oxygen out of the room," making it nearly impossible for individual members to campaign independently of his polarizing presence. This dynamic was also present with George W. Bush in 2006 and Barack Obama during his midterms, where the president's low approval ratings weighed down the entire ticket. Internal GOP friction is further evidenced by figures like Senator Tom Tillis, who chose retirement over a campaign centered on personal loyalty to the president rather than policy.Conversely, the sources suggest the Democratic Party possesses a "deeper bench" of potential candidates for 2028, such as Gavin Newsom or Gretchen Whitmer. Mart predicts that Democrats may attempt to "break the glass ceiling" by nominating a moderate female candidate with executive experience, similar to how the "fresh face" of Barack Obama energized the base in 2008. While the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) present internal "fissures," the party remains united by a shared goal of defeating the MAGA movement.Ultimately, the Republican majority is described as "hanging by a thread". To avoid a "deluge" similar to 2006, the GOP must move beyond "whimsical" policies and pass legislation that offers "palpable benefits" to the public, particularly regarding healthcare and affordability. However, with time running out before the midterms, the sources conclude that history appears poised to repeat itself, with a Democratic surge.

Trap doors under toilets, hidden radio rooms in the back of wardrobes, secret bases behind waterfalls....Dan investigates an extraordinary network of secret resistance cells set up during Britain's "darkest hour".In the summer of 1940, Britain and its empire stood alone as the Nazi war machine stormed through Europe.

H.W. Brands explains how FDR seeks to modify the Neutrality Acts as war intensifies, while Lindbergh and several senators distrust the president's incremental march toward war. FDR counters by labeling critics "isolationists" and "ignorant," while carefully shaping public opinion. The rapid fall of France in 1940 vindicates Lindbergh's stance for some, though it leads FDR to initiate the destroyers-for-bases deal with a pleading Winston Churchill. (3)

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, today's America mirrors the 1930s in psychological unpreparedness and isolationist sentiment, with many dismissing threats from enemy regimes openly seeking nuclear weapons and vowing to destroy the U.S. The fear is that a significant portion of the American population lacks the resolve to confront such threats, unlike Winston Churchill's ultimately heeded warnings. Communist China is observing the current circumstances and the psychology of a significant percentage of the American people, and they anticipate domestic backlash from the Democrats and the Woke Reich including talk of forever wars, warmongers, and other distractions. Also, media reports frame Israel as not allowed to attack Lebanon, yet Hezbollah, based in Lebanon, has fired hundreds of missiles daily into Israel even during a supposed ceasefire. Iran demands that Israel stop defending itself and that frozen Iranian assets be released immediately as a precondition for any negotiations. This aligns with Iran's consistent pattern of delaying, stalling, and shifting the terms of discussion. Later, the public has been clear.  Any Republican who wishes to win an election better renounce immediately and publicly Tucker Carlson and several in his podcast cabal or they will likely be rejected by the voters.  He and they are hemorrhaging support and they are neither conservatives nor Republicans, but the media portray them that way to do maximum damage to the movement and party.  The president has renounced them and exiled them from MAGA. Don't think the manipulation of comments and ratios on this site are the real world. They are not. Afterward, Mediaite's Colby has been devastatingly exposed as a simpleton and left-wing hack, and he uses the website to trash conservatives, Republicans, Fox, MAGA, and the president, as well as smear people whom he hopes to intimidate.  Hall literally contributes nothing to the public discussion but the usual unhinged bile of a left-wing political hack and character assassin.   Finally, Artemis II has landed back on Earth! The president has revitalized NASA, created the Space Force for defense, and focused on these crucial missions, which should unite the nation. However, the country is divided: one part drives achievements and progress while another attacks and seeks to destroy or fundamentally change America. Learn more about your ad choices.
