Morning, Lori and Even Grace America.

I'm Hugh Hewitt.

Welcome to Hillsdale Dialogue.

Our weekly deep dive in the matter is important and enduring this week with the president of

Hillsdale College. Dr. Larry Arne, Dr. Arn, of course, been helming the Hillsdale effort for more

than a quarter century. All things Hillsdale found at Hillsdale.edu, all of our prior dialogues

are at Hugh for Hillsdale.com. We are deep into Winston Churchill's first volume of his

six volumes on the Second World War, which is appropriate for the wartime we find ourselves in.

Now, we take this in late March, so we're not up to speed on April 3rd. Something might have

happened yesterday. I'm going to bring that up early. Dr. Arn, last time we talked, I mentioned

that the Brits suffered a devastating blow early

in the war when the Nazis got a submarine close to and blew a hole in the Royal Oak and sunk

it and scap of flow. They recovered. They got back on their feet. And now we're in Churchill's

at the Admiralty, still not the Prime Minister yet, the early

part of the war, and all the actions at sea, not unlike what's going on with the American

Armada off of Iran, and the first big battle becomes a noble exercise in British heroism. Captain Kennedy aboard a converted freighter,

the Wallapindi, puts up a heroic fight, not in vain. He turns back the Deutsche Land,

a battleship that was going to sneak out into the North Sea and wreak havoc.
