Hi everyone, welcome to Downsnow's History hit. Got all the short snag on the pub today folks?

Yeah. Only came on the pub, he's a big fan, he loves history, he loves Winston Churchill,

love talking about Churchill, learning from Churchill. And so on Winston Churchill's birthday,

the 30th of November, we thought we'd get the governorate wrong. And I ask him, where it went wrong?

How the hell he ended up in California when he could have been a Brit.

As well as that, we have a simple, easy conversation about Winston Churchill, why

Schwarzenegger admired him as a politician, as a leader, as a thinker, and how he tried to

model his own governorship on Winston Churchill. One does never cease.

Winston Churchill was born today, the 30th and 1874, he died in January 1965,

when he was 90 years old. He lived a completely extraordinary life, he grew up in Blenheim Palace,

surrounded by all the trappings of the British aristocracy, the height of Victorian empire,

he served as a soldier, took path in battles like Ondermann, he witnessed war as a journalist,

as a politician, he found himself extraordinarily at many of the great turning points of the early

to mid-20th century, and his fingerprints were on so many of the great decisions made,

decisions that still shape the world that we live in today. He won Nobel Prize for his writing,

as a historian, he shaped our impression of both the world wars, so much else besides.

He was a prolific painter, his paintings are considered noteworthy, important, collectible,

by art dealers today, art collectors, and he's one of the longest serving partitions in British history.

He was an MP from almost unbroken stretch from 1990 to 1964 serving as MP for five constituencies.

A remarkable man, a man whose career is now scrutinised rightly by historians,

by everybody else, a man who's finding that some of the history he wrote is now being rewritten,

and I think a man who would not be surprised at all by that process.
