your gifts, oh, god, you pour out for the benefit of all. sir winston's gift was leadership and a time of great chaos and fear, which when expended left the world a safer place and a prime minister peacefully voted out of office. in a world consumed by politics, that example was one of itself one of the most important legacies of a greater political figure in a western democracy. may this bust be a reminder to all americans of a world leader who stood by us in the wake of pearl harbor in behind whom we stood throughout the second world war.
5:02 pm
make us, oh, god, forever grateful for the relationship of britain with our united states, and may our nations together cooperate as in the time of sir winston churchill to guarantee the freedom and peace of all people. amen. >> please remain standing for the visitation of the colors by the united states armed forces colorguard, the singing of the united kingdom anthem, the singing of the united states anthem, and the retiring of the colors. ♪

5:07 pm
♪ ♪ >> ladies and gentlemen, the speaker of the united states house of representatives, the honorable john boehner. >> good morning, everyone. my colleagues, honored guests, members of the churchill family, friends from the churchill center, and my fellow countrymen. winston spencer churchill was the best friend that the united states ever had. by the time president kennedy named him an honorary citizen in the spring of 1953, we already considered the man one of our own. growing up, he read our books, he revered lincoln. he knew better than most americans the trials of the
5:08 pm
civil war. even wrote in our magazines on everything from hospitality to food to our engines. you could say that he saw in america the very exceptionalism that we see today. yes, he had his complaints. he thought our toilet paper to be too thin and our newspapers to be too fat, but it was dismantled the curiosity of the land of its mother's birth that formed the makings of a beautiful and of course a special relationship. if i am pressed to capture this in a single moment, perhaps it would be right here in the capitol, the day after christmas, 1941. three weeks after pearl harbor when the aggressors had us on the ropes and intended to keep us there, and speaking to the
5:09 pm
congress, churchill called on america to stand firm, and here is what words that matter sound like. >> i feel greatly honored that you should have invited me and address the representatives of both branches of congress. the fact that my american forbearers have so many generations laid their part in the life of the united states makes this experience one of the most moving in my life. i wish indeed that my mother -- whose memory i cherish across the veil of years -- could have been here to see. by the way, i cannot help for reflecting that if my father had
5:10 pm
been american, and my mother british instead of the other way around, i might have gotten here on my own. [laughter] now we are the masters of our fate. the task that has been a us is not up of our strength, that its pains and oils are not beyond our endurance. as long as we have faith in our cause and an unconquerable willpower, salvation will not be denied us. here we are together facing a group of mighty foes who seek our ruin. here we are together defending all that to freemen is dear. it is not given to us to peer into the mysteries of the
5:11 pm
future. i about my hope and faith, sure and inviolate that in the days to come, the british and american people will further own safety and for the good of all walk together in majesty, in justice, and in peace. [applause] >> ladies and gentlemen, this is one of history's true love stories between a great statesman in a nation that he called the great republic. we are here today together to bring it full circle. for today, winston churchill returns to the u.s. capitol. just as the statue of lincoln
5:12 pm
stares outside of parliaments, this bust renews the tide between our peoples and reminds us of the blessings we often take for granted -- we were one for a very horrific struggle. of course, we are putting our old friend to work. if you are ever looking for counsel or hoping to feel a little braver, you are able to find this bust right at the bottom of what we refer to as the british steps. in a for your on a first-floor that will forever be known as freedom for your. as long as we hear churchill's example in defense, all that he preserved, our shared and sacred cause will continue to go on. welcome, prime minister, and welcome to all of you. i hope you enjoy the program which will now continue with the leaders of the u.s. congress.
5:13 pm
[applause] >> good morning. some six decades after the last time sir winston churchill addressed the meeting of congress, it is a privilege to have sir winston's voice once again ringing through the halls of the capitol. this was the first time -- we heard today the first time he addressed commerce. president kennedy once said that the dark days and darker nights of the second world war, when the armies of freedom were being fought back on every front, churchill mobilized the english language and sent it into battle. that steadfast voice, rumbling with unending determination, serve as a great beacon of hope for the free people of the world. sir winston churchill's hope cap
5:14 pm
the allied victory alive, his image with the very face of democracy, defiance, and undefeated at the crucial hour. and so today it is our honor to install his commanding gaze as we celebrate his in statuary hall. anyone who visits the members lobby of the house of congress sees the great statue of churchill, and people rubbed his foot, too, for good luck. i love the story about sir winston when he was a member and prime minister -- that statue was not there then, but he was outside the house of commons among the statues, writing some notes, and a colleague came up to them to ask him a question, and he said -- not now, i am too busy preparing my spontaneous remarks. [laughter] i always loved that comment whether it happened or not, sort
5:15 pm
of like yogi berra, we attribute every wonderful saying to sir winston because his words were ever timely. i am very thrilled and for emotional to hear sir winston churchill today. i have a picture in my office that i have had for 26 years both in my leadership office -- wherever that may be -- and in my personal office of sir winston making that speech. my father is in that picture as a member of congress at the time. i mention that because anyone who sees the picture when they come through my offices always talks about how much they love, respect, admire sir winston churchill. so to his family, please know that many more people would be here but for geography and but
5:16 pm
for the capacity of the venue, but those who are here represents millions of americans who respect sir winston churchill enormously. again, his words were ever timely, and just as the speaker said, 19 days after the attack on pearl harbor, the day after christmas, he was here delivering a dose of legendary resolve to the congress of a country nearly at war. again, he would address congress a total of three times. as the speaker mentioned and as we all know, born to an american mother, we all take great pride of that, churchill jokes, as we heard, that's in another world he might have come here that they as a member of congress. his leadership truly spanned the atlantic. his call to action still the resolve of the british. he inspired our admiration as early as he did the british. he is a hero in our nation as
5:17 pm
well as in his own. and a comment he made about the bridges, what i think really mirrored what he must have thought about america and his american relatives, he said -- speaking of the british but thinking of america -- we have not journeyed across the centuries come across the oceans come across the mountains, across the prairies because we are made of sugar candy. churchill and president roosevelt guided the world through some of the grimmest years of the last century. they shared a vision for what needed to be done, and with their leadership and their great command of our shared language, they give their country the courage to do it. roosevelt and churchill's partnership was forged in the fire of a world war, and there's is truly one of the great friendships between leaders in the whole history of the world. certainly history would look very different without the two of them.
5:18 pm
winston stands as one of the titans of democracy. a giant whose courage serves as an example across the generations and throughout the ages. churchill rightly belongs to the world he helped save from tyranny. he will always hold a place in american memory. now he will hold a special place in the capitol of the united states. thank you. [applause] >> winston churchill has been called the greatest englishman of his time. >> winston churchiln called the greatest englishman of his time. and because his influence was most powerfully felt in the period surrounding the two world wars, we usually think of that time as the middle of the 20th
5:19 pm
century. but it is important to remember that this great man of the 20th century was actually born into the middle of the victorian era less than a decade after lincoln was shot. by the time the 19th century had turned into the 20th, he was already well acquainted with loss, practiced in war, an economist and letters. he was a man, in other words, who was already well on his way to becoming the great figure we all admire and whose achievements we have come to celebrate in this hall of national memory. so, yes, churchill was an in comparable wartime leader and orator, among the finest in all of western history, but he was also a witness, chronicler, and participant in countless other world-changing events.
5:20 pm
for nearly a century. one of his great preoccupation throughout his very long life was us. winston churchill's connection to the united states was not just based on a war or the happy circumstances of his lineage. in addition to these things, it was based firmly on vast personal experience, long observation, deep learning, and even deeper friendships. as we prepare to places like this in the capitol, it is worthwhile to remember that as well. the first of churchill's many visits here came in 1898 at the age of 20 one he and a friend stopped in new york on the way to cuba where they had decided to join the spanish side of an
5:21 pm
uprising there mostly for the fun of it. clearly, this was before the days of the xbox. [laughter] it was during that visit that churchill recorded his first impressions of the united states. in a letter to his brother, he wrote -- this is a very great country, my dear jack. he then expounded admiringly on the practicality and the efficiency of the people he encountered here, marveled at the energy and youthfulness he saw around him. criticized the press. the main point is that churchill seemed to see even than the boundless potential of an alliance between our two nations. it's a convention that only deepened as the momentous. to
5:22 pm
events of the 20th century exploded many books have been written, many by churchill himself, on the contours and progress of that special relationship over the next five decades. and the seismic elliptical, social, and economic changes that took place in both countries during that time. one thing that did not change was churchill's deep affection for and confidence in the united states. indeed, it is striking when one considers the sheer red -- breadth of his learning and a life spent at the forefront of world events to think that the final piece of the vice he offered his advisers just before leaving 10 downing street for the last time was to remain close to the united states. according to one account, it happened like this- just moments before the 80-year- old churchill was driven off to buckingham palace to offer his resignation to the queen, he turned to various non-cabinet officials he had summoned to see
5:23 pm
him off and told them simply," never these separated from the americans." much has changed since that day in 1955 but the wisdom of that counsel has not. made these two great nations which winston churchill loved so deeply and his democratic values he cherished and so ably defended always adhere to his advice. thank you. [applause] >> we are gathered of course today to honor the great sir winston churchill, a savior of the world. before i tell you about this hero, this hero to the world, i should tell you he is also one of my personal heroes.
5:24 pm
i have read every word of churchill's four volume history of the english speaking people and one of my prized possessions given to me by one of my dear friends in any years ago is 125 hours of his speeches and his readings and i have listened to all 125 hours. i have read all the volumes of the william manchester biography as well as another of other single volume histories of the british war hero. i even had dinner with one of his grandsons in las vegas a number of years ago. when stint churchill's namesake and a member of parliament. -- winston churchill's namesake and a member of parliament in an evening of remembrance prayed while i never met him, i feel i know him. i believe i have a special relationship with his life story just as churchill himself had a special relationship with our great country.
5:25 pm
that relationship began long before churchill spurred the allies to victory in world war ii. it dates back three centuries before that war even started. he was a descendent on his mothers's side of the mayflower pilgrims. at least to have his forebears fought with us against british in the revolutionary war. just as churchill's ancestors fought alongside america's founders to establish the freedom we hold dear, churchill fought alongside 20th-century america to defend that freedom. churchill inherited a war against the most powerful armies in world history in a war that seemed on one of ultima was but not to winston churchill. here is a passage and i would like to make it shorter and i cannot. it is so good. it's one of the first volume of manchester's " the last lion." it is the description under which churchill began his premiership.
5:26 pm
"the friendship collapsed, the dutch had been overwhelmed, the belgians had surrendered, the british army trapped at dunkirk and was trying to fight free and fell back toward the channel ports. behind them lay the sea. it was england's greatest crisis since the norman conquest. england's new leader, were he to prevail, had to stand for everything the british establishment had rejected. a viewed adolf hitler as a product of complex social and historical forces. their success would have to be a passionate,manicean who saw the struggle to the death between the powers of good and evil who held that individuals are responsible for their actions and the german dictator was therefore wicked. a believer in martial glory was required. who could rally the nation and
5:27 pm
brave the coming german fury and embodiment of faded taurean standards who was wanted for his tribute in honor and loyalty and the supreme virtue of action, one who would never compromise with inequity, one who could create a sublime mode and give men who wrote visions of what they were and might become. like it'll hitler, he would have to be a leader of intuitive genius, a born demagogue in the original sense of that work, a believer in the supremacy of his race and national destiny, an artist too new to gather the blazing light of history into his prism and distorted through his answer. an embodiment of flexible resolution who could proposes will and imagination on his people, a great tragedy and who understood martyrdom i could tell his followers the world's the worst, persuading them that the year at dunkirk would be one that is equally good to live or to die, who would come if necessary, to be just as cruel,
5:28 pm
just as coming, just as ruthless but would win victories without preaching supernaturalism, foisting off minutes of his infallibility or destroying the workman and libertarian institutions he had sworn to preserve. such a man, if he existed, would be england's last chance. in london, there was such a man. now, at last, winston churchill his hour had struck. he had been waiting in parliament more than 40 years. he had grown bald and what hair he had was great in his nation service. he would be summoned when the situation was seem hopeless to everyone except him. when stint churchill faced disappointments throughout his long political career. he also faced our days when the war seemed hopeless.
5:29 pm
through it all, he never, never, never gave up. his unflinching leadership was the source of spiritual strength as well as military might for the allies. churchill famously said of the heroes of world war ii " never in the field of human conflict was so much owed to so many to so few." today, we acknowledge the debt of american allies that we owe to one man, winston churchill, for saving the world from the evil and the clutches of tyranny. [applause] >> ladies and gentlemen, joining in welcoming our secretary of state, john kerry. [applause] >> speaker boehner, leader pelosi, majority leader reid, and later macconnell- distinguished tests all -- thank you to the leadership of the
5:30 pm
congress for making this possible and bringing us all together today to celebrate our remarkable guest of honor, regal, resplendent, this incredible bust of sir winston churchill. sizing up this famous and inimitable expression forever now captured in bronze and forever here in the capital, we remember not just the story oratory that you have heard us reminded of in the speeches thus far, oratory that literally rescued the world and gave hope to the world. we also know something about this man's capacity to put the fear of god into his critics and anyone who dared to take him on. the withering retorts that struck fear into those critics, it was churchill, after all, at
5:31 pm
a late-night rt long past its rightful expiration date who encountered us gold from his own party who exclaimed " winston, uart drunk, you are very drunk, you are very, very drunk" without missing a beat, winston said, " you are ugly, you are very ugly, you are very, very ugly and what's more it, tomorrow, i shall be sober." [laughter] this man was an original in every respect. when he was invited to the white house to stay for a week, he stayed for months. he felt free to use president roosevelt bathtub but no need to wear his bathrobes. [laughter] or any bathrobe when he was done. he really wrote the book on marching to the tune of your own beat them a your own drummer.
5:32 pm
leadership in times of crisis, that was winston churchill. a call to a great cause among all things -- above all things parochial, a man who answered his country's call and was sobered by service in war himself, that was winston churchill. but so too did he remind is often that sometimes laughter is precisely the prescription for the ills of any political system. even as sir winston famously summoned the humility to laugh at himself or, as we know, sometimes at the expense of others, his defining characteristic was, of course, the courage to lead so many through so much. last autumn, i had the privilege of finding myself in london standing in the same subterranean world war ii
5:33 pm
bunker, the very first of what we now call war rooms. that was where winston churchill presided over great britain's finest hour. it gave me new respect for a man who understood the nightly bombing raids and summoned in french words -- in fresh words what have been repeated by so many to never, never, never give up. it's easy to forget that churchill did not just commend those words to others. he lived them himself. when he was a prisoner of war in africa, he managed to escape. when demoted for his role in gallipoli in world war i, he picked himself up, taking a new leadership role on the western front. when he was defeated as prime minister, not down with his party in a crushing political defeat one year after i was born, he managed to dust himself
5:34 pm
off and wait for history to call again. it proved to all the world that life as well as leadership go on long after losing a near collection. he understood the united states better sometimes than we even understood ourselves. he was the son of an american mother, proud to have had two great grandfathers who fought in george washington's army. one and the berkshire county militia and the other is part of the fourth massachusetts regiment. it was fitting that in the shadows of world war ii, and and the dawn of the cold war, when some at home hoped the united states would turn inward, churchill looked outward again and across the atlantic. he traveled to the heartland of our country to a tiny college in fulton, missouri and he spoke of
5:35 pm
america's awe-inspiring accountability to the future. with so many challenges, all across the world today, struggles to be one, pandemics to be defeated, history yet to be defined, churchill can be heard once again at this dust -- with this bust for all of us to define our time in a manner befitting of a country that still stands, as he said then, at the pinnacle of power. that went essential british subject and statesman upon whom president kennedy, as we learned from the speaker, conferred american citizenship, help define the relationship, the special relationship between the united states and the united kingdom. more than that, he understood that even the greatest patriots are not just citizens of their own countries but citizens of the world with responsibilities
5:36 pm
that go with it. as the proud recipient of the state department's first and only honorary american passport, he would no doubt look to all of us today to use the privilege of our own passports as he did to help meet the world's challenges in troubled corners of the globe. cynics today might say that's an improbable aspiration. but hundreds of years ago, in this very city, what could have seemed more improbable than this day itself, to think that in statuary hall, a building british troops tried to burn down, that now the bust of a one-time secretary, secretary of state for the colonies, will forever stand alongside the statue of samuel adams, the founder of the sons of liberty and well it should.
5:37 pm
it reminds us that our job is to do the improbable and in that endeavor, as winston churchill's likeness resides among our greatest patriots, winston will remain forever an inspiration to those in the capital and across the continents. we are sometimes, all of us as we know too well, separated by oceans and we are sometimes separated by political party or ideology. but this bust will remind us the bridges we must build to span the gaps so that the work of democracy can continue, so that together we might fulfill the solemn duty to carry forward the cause of freedom and the fundamental rights and so that we can strengthen our alliances, mindful that in a world far more complex than even winston churchill could have ever imagined or predicted, progress comes only when we pursue it together.
5:38 pm
the truth is that this bust residing in this capital in this place will remind us of that forever. [applause] >> ladies and gentlemen, you will recall earlier that i promised some majesty. who better to represent rock royalty than mr. roger's altra, founder and lead singer of the who, 100 million albums sold, kennedy center honoree, and a member of the rock and roll hall of fame. an icon on both sides of the atlantic. not only for his music but for all he has done to give back. roger was instrumental in starting the teenage cancer trust series in london, and effort to build hospital wards
5:39 pm
for kids with cancer. and he is now extended that work to the united states with the team cancer american effort. let me also express my deepest appreciation to lucien grange, ceo of universal records who brought roger here making this occasion much more special. we have asked roger to play a song or two and first he will perform his arrangement ofben e. kings'.

5:48 pm
event happen. [applause] >> mr. speaker, secretary kerry, leader pelosi, leader reid, and leader macconnell and distinguished members of congress, ladies and gentlemen my family and i thank you most warmly for the very great honor that you have a corded the memory of my grandfather in accepting the donation from the churchill center of this magnificent bust of sir winston to be permanently displayed here in the united states capital. on behalf of all of us, mr. speaker, my thank you for the wonderful tribute you all paid to churchill's memory. he is -- he has a very vivid memory. as you know, my grandfather visited washington often during
5:49 pm
his long career but perhaps most notably as a test of president franklin roosevelt during the second world war. on december 20 6, 1941, just days after the appalling atrocity at pearl harbor, he came across the atlantic and was invited to address a joint session of congress just yards away from where this moving ceremony is being held today. on that occasion, as we have been reminded, he famously joked that if his father had been an american and his mother british, instead of the other way around, he might indeed have got here on his own. now, mr. speaker, he lives here in his own right. not as a guest but as a member of an illustrious pantheon here in this magnificent hall. it is a wonderful and resonant
5:50 pm
and adding tribute in one which would have caused him great pride and pleasure. born to an american mother, he cherished his relationship with america and the american people's, often describing himself as an english speaking union. there is no doubt that the united states adopted him. in 1963, awarded honorary united states citizen ship, the first of an act of congress, and said to president kennedy, i contemplate with high satisfaction the constant factor of the interwoven and upward progress of our peoples. our comradeship and brotherhood in war were examples. we stood together and because of that, the free world now stands. my grandfather spoke to congress on three occasions but in 1941, as you can see and as we have already heard, he concluded his remarks here with is wonderful
5:51 pm
statement -- "i vow all my faith and hope, sure and environment, that in the days to come, the british and american peoples will for their own safety and for the good of all walk together side- by-side in majesty, injustice, and in peace." mr. speaker, this bust is a symbol that his hope is still being realized for the benefit of this and for future generations and his memory remains a beacon for free men and free women everywhere. thank you very much.
