pearl harbor was a surprise, but america had expected war for some time.german armies swept across europe, america began to build up its military. many adult americans remembered the hardships caused by inflation during the unregulated economy of world war i. the cost of living then spiraled up more than 100%. every worker and resource was precious. military and civilian needs competed with no referee but the price system, so prices shot higher. as another and potentially greater war approached, president roosevelt prepared to initiate price controls. but the job of planning and controlling the economy was anything but easy. the roosevelt administration chose john kenneth galbraith for the job. we had a couple of dozen people and the task of taking charge of all the prices in the economy. in my more mature years, i would have been appalled. at that time, i thought the right man had been selected for the right job. how does one select which prices to control? the original idea was to control those prices where the war had brought something into very short s

on december 7th, 1941, when japanese planes attacked the united states naval base at pearl harbor and killed more than 2400 americans, our vulnerability to what had been a distant war abroad suddenly felt much closer to home. during the cold war, standoff against the soviet union, we lived under constant fear of the threat of the nuclear annihilation. as much as these moments truly made us the united states because of our shared anxiety over an actual threat, it is worth remembering that on the flip side of that fear are those who consequently become targets because of a perceived threat. just two months after the pearl harbor attack, president franklin roosevelt, giving in to the will of popular opinion, signed the order that led to the internment of more than 100,000 americans whose only crime was having japanese ancestry. cold war hysteria about domestic communist subversion led to the investigation of millions of federal employees, the black listing of hundreds of people in the film industry and the loss of jobs for countless other americans who fell under suspicion as sympathizer

involvement in world war ii saying that it was our -- that we goaded the japanese into attacking us in pearl harbor. he's against almost all foreign interventions. sometimes he's right, like in iran, and sometimes he's nuts like in world war ii. but the point is, is that his view of kind of conspiratorial interests pulling the strings of american foreign policy, it's not a left wing view even if it dovetails with the left on certain issue, it's kind of a conspiratorial view of history and foreign policy. you see him -- you know, he has a long history of association with birchers, with neo secessionists and 9/11 truthers. you remember he had to fire his communications director because he turned out to be a 9/11 truther. it's not that he has this crossover appeal that he's taking direction from the left. >> bob? >> it's interesting to see who senator paul is surrounding himself with when it comes to policy advice. he's not really going towards his father who was known to his isolationist views. he's going towards richard byrd. and byrd i think really captures where paul is going to head in 2016 on fo

so after pearl harbor in "time" magazine there was a famous essay by the editor saying i will now, we should realize that we haven't been mean enough to recognize this japanese threat. and so let's set aside all the discussion of civil rights and equality and like really meant up to fight the japanese but the same thing was said after 9/11, it was described as the crisis of masculine the. susan wrote a book about the impact of that and a lot of the, cha-ching can we stop to that feminism now we're in a war against islam? i think they are all deeply embedded within each other. spent i almost forgot, excuse me. a book that was praised by critics of the country, there's a chapter which he writes about arab women, arabs and other animals. >> fear of flying? >> yeah. and one in which i forgot to mention, she's someone else i'd like to have a cup of coffee with, is the fact that if you see a movie at all go where there's this great desert race and a couple, we can make out what an indie movies anymore so a cowboy goes to an arab country with his horse to enter the great desert race. and not

military following pearl harbor. 80 men known today as the doolittle tokyo raiders volunteered for an extremely hazardous mission without knowing the target or location or assignment. the raiders led by james doolittle launched their missile bombers 650 miles from their target. after hitting their military and industrial targets in tokyo and five other cities, they were low on fuel, the weather was deteriorating. all 16 planes were forced to crash land in china or russia. of the 80 men on the mission, eight raiders were captured. of these eight, three were executed, one died of disease, four returned home. their mission traveled an average distance of 2,200 miles over 13 hours, making it the longest combat mission ever flown in a b-25 bomber. i would add, mr. president, that another aviation hero in vietnam just walked into the chamber, senator mccain, right at the time i was talking about the doolittle raiders, and he has signed our resolution in commendation for a medal of honor for them, and i thank senator mccain, both for his her owism especially and for -- heroism especially and
