manhattan project voices .org. the atomic heritage foundation has a wonderful website with lots of interviews some of which i did and lots of under other interviews that were done by other people with major figures in the manhattan project. so i think it is not too much to say that the atomic bombings of hiroshima and nagasaki structured the future of not only the atomic age and how the atomic bomb was seen and valued, but also the future of civilization. we are talking about a very big subject here. one that in effect has changed over time in terms of our views of the major issues. 70 years ago there was certain consensus on a view. 50 years ago there was more diversity, abuse about the issues. today there are many many views. one of the interesting things is that the atomic bomb, although it was not predicted 100 years before it was developed, the idea that science would transform the human condition caution was something that people thought about, even in the 19th century. one of my favorite quotes, with respect

and that was the manhattan project. shall i continue? [laughter] ok. little did i know what they were doing their. at the time, i was 17 years old and i was a lab assistant. but lab assistant meant you did cleanup work, and you cleaned the beakers and the other material the scientists used. but the main job that i had was cleaning these tubes in a sulfuric acid bath. and i didn't know what these tubes were or what they were for or anything, and i continue to work there, and i had a little vacation. i was in canada at the time and i saw the headline where we had dropped the bomb and i said, god, that is when i was working on. and that was the extent of my knowledge of what it was that we were doing. i still did not know what these tubes were for. in retrospect, and certainly not anything i thought of while i was there, i think those tubes were the laboratory prototypes of the tubes that they used to separate the two components of the uranium 235 and 238. and it made me think that the tubes that cheney saw before he decided to go into the iraq war, were

by 1800, by 1875, 1 million people were on manhattan island. that is called growth. this was an 1860's print of a part of manhattan, a part of new york. remember, in those days, new york city was strictly an island. by time you got to the you are in the independent city of brooklyn when you run across the river. but 1860's, the brooklyn bridge was going to begin in 1869. the reason it was needed, by the time you get to the late 1860's, downtown the york was the central business district of new york. it becomes the central district of america by the indian thirties, and by teen zeroes we become a world power. and that means new york is growing, but unfortunately manhattan is a long skinny island as we know, the only way you can grow is uptown. by the time you get to the 18 sixties, the time the brooklyn bridge would be built, they middle class people are forced to live as far north as the west forties or east forties and fifties and even the he sixties east of central park. they have to commute down to wall street and the ladies have to commute

that was something throughout the manhattan project. you were only given enough information to do what you needed to do to the best of your ability. this obviously varied from person to person, most people had a certain level of curiosity but it was also drilled into them that if you got too curious and asked too many questions, you could lose your job. you did not get to curious too often. some people did. many people saw people get physically taken out of work in the middle of the day with zero explanation and never saw them again. so there was this idea that i am not supposed to ask any questions so i am not going to ask any questions. there was also a fair amount of what i might call self-censorship that has happened. everybody was told this is a very important project for the war. it was important that they did not talk about what they did. if you ever talked to anyone who lived through world war ii, everybody knew somebody who was away fighting. most people knew someone who had died. the idea that they were told they were not supp

so let's talk about the manhattan project. it did not come until into existence until the summer of 1942. the august. 1942. after years of research, and the reason it took so long for the manhattan project come into existence, is that they recognize that nuclear weapons would be a transformative technology. i would really change the world. so we lagged behind other countries such as britain. we didn't realize how far behind we were, so the manhattan project was brought in a 1942. and it was to build atomic weapons. it is believed by many, that germany did have a nuclear weapons program, but they had not made very much progress. but we didn't know that at the time. i remember, germany was the first to produce fusion, and a lot of people thought it might be a short amount of time before adolf hitler had the bomb. that's why the reason we started to build bombs. the manhattan project, wasn't enormous national project. really an international project. when you take into account how much international help that we had. we had many

, 1830s, 60,000 people in manhattan. by 1875, 1 million people are on manhattan island. that's called growth. here on the upper left is an 1860s print of the built-up part of manhattan. remember in those days new york city was strictly manhattan island when you went across the river you were in the independent city of brooklyn. by the time you get to the 1860s the brooklyn bridge is going to begin in 1869. and the reason it was needed by the time you get to the late 1860s. now downtown new york is the central business district of new york. it becomes the central business district of america by the 1830s. by the 1900s, it's the cbd of the world because we become a world power. that means new york is growing. but unfortunately manhattan is a long, skinny island, as we know. the only way it can grow is you want. and the 1860s, the middle-class people are forced to live as far north as the west 40s or east 40s and 50s and even the east 60s east of central park. they have to commute down to wall street. the women commute down

you talk about the success of the manhattan project. it would not have been successful without the people who built. they strung hundreds of holes for wires. if you go to the trinity site today, they will start -- you will start seeing something. they are 3, 5 feet tall poles and wires for diagnostics from the trinity test. they put up hundreds of poles. they built bunkers. the bunkers, two bunkers, is where the trinity test was controlled from. we will talk about the towers they constructed as well. they actually build three towers. we talked about those dozens of miles of roads a couple of those . security is a very, very important part of the test. we have to keep this secret. do you remember when our test director was talking about where the supplies factor would be lost -- remember, nuclear weapons, they cause a lot of death and widespread destruction , but the united states canal already do that with conventional means -- can already do that with conventional means. first of all, if we sent 1000 planes to tokyo, the japanese have

what's happening in the manhattan project? there are also opposing views there about the atomic -- the atomic bomb. there is a group at the university of chicago led by james franc, f-r-a-n-c-k who write a memorandum known as the franck report that argues that the atomic bomb should not be used own japan because if we ever expect to cooperate with the soviet union after the war, such an action will make it impossible, and just to quote a few sentences from a very long report, if we consider international agreement on total prevention of nuclear warfare as the paramount objective, if we're thinking about the post-war period piece in the post-war period as our paramount objective and we believe that it can be achieved, this kind of introduction that is using the bomb as a weapon of atomic weapons to the world may easily destroy all of our chances of success. russia and even allied countries, which bear less mistrust of our ways and intentions as well as neutral countries may be deeply shocked. it may be very difficult to persuad

this was part of the manhattan project. i was assigned to an engineering development group and we were dipping samples of aluminum in water, checking for corrosion. i found out somebody had shipped 5000 gallons of river water to the university of chicago and this is what we were doing. these were the process tubes and material for the fuel. i came out here and ended up in pascoe at 4:00 a.m. or something like that. my buddy was supposed to meet me. he did not show up. i made a mental note, this guy better have a good excuse. turned out he was in the hospital, appendicitis, they were in surgery that morning. so we let him go. i ended up in the quarters for a couple days then moved into a dormitory. i presumed i would be doing some chemical work, but during the interview, a fellow said, we would like to have you in the instrument department. i almost said, i play trumpet, i will fit right in. he says, what you know about instruments? i said, nothing. he said, we are given -- we are going to give you hands-on training. in a ye

we did hear from the manhattan d.a., cy vance, at the center of this fight. he just released a three word statement on twitter today and it said, the work continues. we also heard in morning from michael cohen, trump's former fixer at the center of this as well. he has since turned on trump. he released a statement saying that the supreme court has now proclaimed that no one is above the law. trump will for the first time have to take responsibility for his own dirty deeds. so kate, this is a long time in the making. trump has fought the release of his tax returns for years. and finally this morning, the supreme court stepping out of the way allowing for the release to go right into the hands of the manhattan district attorney. we'll see what else transpires and if the public ever sees any of the details from these tax returns. >> thank you so much for laying that out for us. this is a big moment in this. elie, let me bring you in. cy vance now has won every stage of this legal fight. what does this mean coming from the supreme court now? >> yeah, kate, this

because donald trump has effectively gone to the supreme court twice to prevent the manhattan da from tax returns. but if that case is resolved as expected, the manhattan district attorney is looking at possibly indicting donald trump for bank fraud, insurance fraud, and tax fraud. we don't know if he has enough evidence, if he wants to indict the president or his business or associates, but the da has said on the record that he is very seriously considering bringing charges. the fact that this case has gone on for so long is further indication of the seriousness with which the district attorney is taking it. the second investigation is much more recent and fulton county, georgia, where the district attorney is looking at whether president trump, then president trump, violated racketeering and other statutes when he tried to overturn the election in georgia and that case, while much more recent, is in theory less complex than the white collar crimes the manhattan district attorney is looking at. either of those cases could result in charges in the not-too-distant future at some time.

and after years of searching for trump's taxes, manhattan's district attorney has them in hand.this is "american voices." >>> first to the big breaking news in america's fight against covid-19. within the hour the fda approved johnson & johnson's single dose emergency vaccine for emergency use. it will be the third vaccine to help us fight covid in this country. doses could roll out as soon as monday and it could change the game. it's one shot and can be stored in the kind of refrigerators america's medical community most commonly uses. this approval comes at a critical moment. states are facing vaccine shortages but shortages in shots can be viewed as a good thing because it means americans are getting them. at this hour more than 96 million doses have been delivered, over 72 million hots deliver. new cases across america have dropped but it is not time to more on. as ron klain says on twitter, we are making progress on vaccinations and other interventions against covid. but we need people to continue to mask and social distancing what we're doing is working. we could have made
