Summary

Sir Winston Churchill is almost unanimously regarded as a hero in Western society. In this country we voted him the Greatest Ever Briton; ahead of Shakespeare, Charles Darwin and Sir Isaac Newton. Churchill had significant flaws, including some caustic opinions and brutal decisions which were very much of their time. These flaws are widely-acknowledged. But not when it comes to the Second World War.  Rallying the country to defeat the Nazis has always been considered, well, a good thing. Last week, history podcaster Darryl Cooper appeared on Tucker Carlson’s show in a now-viral interview which included the claim that Churchill - not Hitler - was “the chief villain of the Second World War.”  As we’ll see, it didn’t stop there. Debate has raged ever since. Not just about Churchill but about whether free speech and free-thinking applies to something as binary as historical fact. Eminent historian and author of "Churchill: Walking with Destiny", Andrew Roberts joins Piers to dissect the case. Followed by a debate with 'Part of the Problem' podcast host, Dave Smith & Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.

Really?

And that doesn't mean that you're some type of, you know, Holocaust denier.

The idea of Zionist financiers was a dog whistle as far as I was concerned.

0:15.0

And he says what happened in France under Hitler with that invasion was infinitely preferable to what just happened at the

0:23.7

Paris Olympics.

0:24.9

Like to suggest that that's infinitely preferable to an offensive display at the Olympics is

0:30.6

wild.

0:31.5

So like as somebody who has consumed hours and hours and hours of his content, I'm not like hanging him over one tweet that he sent that I think was like, yeah, again, being very hyperbolic and I don't think was really landed. Tucker praised this guy as like the greatest historian and scholar. He gave him a very soft interview where he didn't push back on any of this stuff. And I mocked that, and he got kind of upset about that and reached out to me.

0:55.2

I never called you a Nazi. I just said you went soft on a Hitler apologist.

1:00.7

So, Mr. Churchill is almost unanimously regarded as a hero in Western society, not least by me.

1:06.5

In fact, I think, like a lot of people in this country, who voted in the greatest ever Britain,

1:10.0

that he is indeed the greatest of all of us here, ahead of Shakespeare, Charles Darwin,

1:15.7

Sir Isaac Newton, the Beatles, all of them.

1:18.6

Yes, Churchill had significant flaws, including some caustic opinions and brutal decisions,

1:23.5

which were very much of their time.

1:25.4

These flaws are widely acknowledged, and he made some big mistakes.

1:29.3

But not when it comes to the World War II,

1:31.8

rallying this country and the Allies to defeat the Nazis

1:35.3

has always been considered a very good thing.

1:40.0

Because self-evidently, it was a very good thing.
