about winston churchill. he served as prime minister of the united kingdom and again from 1951 through 1955. but he was so much more. during the 20th century's darkest hour, winston churchill warned of the approaching evil, stood tall when it arrived and inspired his citizens and ours and liberty-loving people around the world to fight, to persevere and to never surrender before victory was assured. he knew that the long road of our humanity-affirming progress would not end and could not end and was not going to end in defeat to tyranny. mr. speaker, we are in fact one week away, as has been said from the 70th anniversary of churchill's address to a joint session of congress. on december 26, 1941, with our nation still in shock after the attack on pearl harbor, and simultaneous defeats and setbacks across the pacific, and more than two long years since the invasion of poland, prime minister churchill, as this resolution reminds us, said, sure i am this day, now we are the masters of our fate, that the task wh

bush's winston churchill bust in the oval office. house republicans have spent their time in the house this week, among other things, voting to place a bust of winston churchill inside the united states capitol instead of the one that was in the oval office. so, america, when your paycheck shrinks substantially on january 1st, at least you can take comfort that we'll have the churchill bust to cuddle up to in the capitol if we need to? congress did make sure to handle that? bust, yes. looming inexplicable tax hike with bad economic consequences, no. that we cannot do. >> the house republicans say they don't dispute the need for a payroll tax cut. what they're really trying to do, what they're holding out for, is it ring concessions from democrats on issues that have nothing to do with the payroll tax cut. issues where the parties fundamentally disagree. >> house speaker john boehner, though he reportedly signed off on this payroll tax thing, plan, over the weekend, he is now insisting that passing a two-month extension of the payroll

david winston, what about the argument that newt gingrich cannot sustain this and mitt romney can?nds on what survey you look at at this point. if you look at the usa today gallop survey, look at the key swing states, newt gingrich and mitt romney were about the same. if you look at the democracy score poll, taking a look at the 60 most competitive districts, newt did slightly better than romney did. where we're at, there's a lot of campaign left to go. one of things i think you've seen six months ago everybody thought newt gingrich was dead. and now most of the surveys you see he's leading. where are we going to be in three months? it's a lot of campaigning yet to do. >> let me just suggest one place we won't be in three months in this campaign is herman cain and this was jon stewart's take on barbara walters interview. >> what kind of cabinet position might you like if it were possible? >> department of defense. >> what? >> that was so ballcy it made barbara walters do a reporter's equivalent of a spit take, she has faced down dictators and presidents and movie stars, sherri shep

churchill -- so tie or bust of winston churchill, hope -- statue or bust of winston churchill hoping the other two statues are permitted soon. >> i feel it gives us an opening to approach the speaker to ask that our bill come forward of. reporter: at this point no word on where the winston churchill statue or bust will be placed inside the u.s. capitol. that will be left up to the office of the architect of the u.s. capitol. in the newsroom matt ackland, fox 5 news. >>> sexual assaults appear to be on the rise at the nation's military academies. a new report shows 65 incidents this year compared to 45 last year. the pentagon says it's encouraging victims to report the crimes and that could explain the higher number. >>> they are home from the battlefield, thousands of u.s. service members back from iraq and afghanistan looking for work, but the unemployment rate among veterans is higher than the national average and one senator is trying to change that. reporter: as thousands of troops return from overseas, many will be finished with their service poised to enter civilian life in an

bush for his first term in office until two thousand and four loaned him a bust of of winston churchill that had sat in the british embassy here in washington d.c. in two thousand and four when bush was reelected tony blair said well you can keep it until the end of your term your second term and so it's very clear that you know the first week of january when george w. bush left office the bust was going to leave with the fact the british embassy announced to the press quote it was lunch for the first term of office of president bush when the president was elected for a second and final term alone was extended till january two thousand and nine so when the british took back their bust obama replaced it with a bust of abraham lincoln you know one of his heroes but glenn beck and a bunch are right wing radio guys went nuts on this they said that obama had first of all sent back the churchill bust as as i just point out not the case is not the case at all this is the bus was gone before obama even walked into the white house but why did this these right where say that he had sent back the

. >> winston churchill said it is good to keep your ear to the ground, so long as you remember where your posterior is when you do so. george, the congress of the united states has not decided that its purpose and function -- is that its purpose and function? >> the pieces that you see, the pieces of appropriations bills, they know they have to do 12, but they will do three and discuss authorization for the rest of the term. congress is really destined for gridlock just because basically it is a 60-vote threshold. you will always need republicans to get things passed in the senate. because of that, i think it is a recipe for gridlock. >> are the republicans aware that it hangs around in the populace against gridlock? >> i do not think so. it seems to be what they think their constituents want to hear. i think they are misreading the polls or whoever is doing the data, and i think will backfire on them. >> pamela, as a senior producer at sirius xm radio, channel 124, which carries the audio of this program, and where i appear on fridays for half an hour. having done that plug -- >> we

now, of course, a preemptive invasion would be illegal under international law, but winston has saidd and not legal knit fighting nazi germany. >> so, tell us, tell us about what's happening right now on the couldn't couldn't nent. the situation is very bad for jewish residents in occupied poland what do you know about this? >> well, of course it is not only bad for jewish resident. poland itself has been split in half by the two invading armies, itself yet and the germans, so, now polish residents must be forced to choose to live under nazi oppression in the west or soviet oppression in the east. as you said, for jewish residents it is particularly bad. we have reports coming in of synagogues being burned with flame terrors, of people being marched out of the towns and the ghettos where jews are being forced to live to be shot in the fields it is possible that several thousand people may already have died. we can only hope the situation gets better. >> is there reason to believe that this attack on jewish residents is specifically because of their identity as jewish citizens? >> abs

mecham's book, franklin, winst winston.they grew to become very fond of each other although churchill was more fond of roosevelt than roosevelt was of churchill. churchill once said that meeting franklin was a was like opening a bottle of champagne, and roosevelt once told churchill that he was glad they lived in the same decade. so there was a respect. churchill came to visit. it was astonishing and it was big news in america. churchill came to america several days before christmas in 1941, stayed at the white house. lived in the west wing. [inaudible] >> exactly. and left london by a blackout train and took a harrowing flight, or took a ship across the atlantic and then landed in boston and into from boston to washington. all top secret could never was in the press. only people on a need to know basis knew about this, and then all of a sudden there's churchill in washington. this is big news. winston churchill was a hugely popular figure in america, as he remains today. but there was one funny story is that churchill got

with me and journalist only winston in oakland california. and one of the central chapters of the occupy wall street story is of course the role of police the role that they've played in this movement not only of even the ones to sent in to dismantle the occupy camps around the country they have also been caught on camera using weapons on protesters from pepper spray to tear gas to rubber bullets and their endeavors have been quite expensive according to a new survey by the excess associated press and found that approximately spent over just over two months now thirteen million dollars with eighteen cities surveyed most of that money if it turns out was spent on overtime and other municipal services and to get an idea of how that was all divvied up i want you to take a look at some of those cities and the breakdown of how much each city spent of course new york spent more than half of the total spending seven million dollars followed by oakland and denver and portland but you know it's not the money as much as the treatment of these protester

just a little earlier to our own ramona window our producer lucy catherine of and journalist only winston i started off by asking all lead to give us his take on what he saw at the effort to shut down the ports in oakland where he was. before i was up there this morning around five thirty am there was a group of about three to six hundred people admit it was at the it was a bart station the regional rapid transit system and they marched from there out to the port of oakland which is about a mile and a half there also cars and buses taking people out there. and there was a little stand offs with wives of dr who's outside groups that opens about three different sections three different marches having to walk eight different births where there were ships her there were ships in a. mood and tense moments where there were stand offs with the local police in alameda county sheriff's deputies by and large it was peaceful there were no arrests there no clashes that i saw and as of this morning port officials are saying that at least half of the terminals are have been shut down the lever over tri

[laughter] >> if we could go back to the general mcarthur. i know what like truman thought and stuff about using the nuclear weapons on japan. what was mcarthur's thought on it, and do you think if we would not have used the nuclear weapons, mcarthur would still have had the capability to kind of control the entire japan issue after, like, meaning, like, would russians had more power if we didn't use nuclear weapons? >> mcarthur was personally repulsed of the use of the atomic bomb, especially on civilian cities. and there was a lot of people who thought at the time that truman should demonstrate the might of america by detonating in tokyo bay with min

but they liken you to a charles de gaulle and a winston churchill. did you see that? >> great responsibility. both of them could marshal words as if they were soldiers, but both had a sense of purpose and direction and they never faltered. that is the similarity. >> they were saying you were going to be speaking or interviewing 70 different times in 13 days in the united states and they know by the time this runs you will have gone on. why are you going through all this? what's driving you to sit still for all these interviews? >> i believe there's a message in that book. there's a message that if you chart your course and know the compass of values which will lead you through the future, then you will get through. you will be true to the very best of your country. you'll be true to the challenges and the strenuous life of liberty, to its responsibilities, to justice, and to democracy. and it's all so positive. it's not just let things alone. it is liberty -- liberty is a marvelous thing, particularly if you have not had it. some vice president known it. it's not just

even in the u.k., robert winston, a committed -- >> some really do believe i and the virgin birth andngs like that usually you'll find they believe in some sort of thing, rather a good thing that people should believe in religion. or they believe in some sort of vague great spirits, life at the base of the universe. it is seldom that you can them down, they really truly believe in miracles. >> you have written several books about science. your most recent one, "the magic of reality," which is how we know what is true when you try to explode certain myths. you look at evolution and so on. do you see it as a mission for yourself, that you want to educate people better? >> of course i want to educate people about science, but it is a book for children, nothing to do with religion. and take-bathetic towards religion automatically. but it is a book of science for children, for young people. it covers a number ever assigned to the questions like what is the rainbow, what is the son, what a bad things happen? who was the first person? these are all chapter headings. the chapter begins with m

. >> winston! order! some people have interest in listening. >> thank you. i would like to associate myself with words from the prime minister, 10 years on from the momentary intervention more than three million girls in afghanistan are in school. will the prime minister send a clear message that the rights of those girls should not be traded away in a false choice between women's rights and security when evidence shows women's involvement in post conflict resolution is essential for stability? >> can i wish my hon. friend and everyone in scotland a very happy finance day. she is very right to talk about women's rights in afghanistan. we often talk about security but without talking about some of the things that security is making possible and it is the case that in 2001 there were less than 1 million children in school and of them girls in afghanistan. today there are six million children regularly in schools. two million our girls. all of those who have been to afghanistan and met women and other leaders in that country who stand up for women's rights know
