didn't take -- well took another 12 months almost before pearl harbor which pressed the matter after then even the isolationists gave up, their attempt to keep america out of the war. american then could take the whole part. but during the whole of 1941 lend lease was used in order to keep the nazis on the other side of the english channel and occupied so they didn't do anymore damage in the world apart from within their immediate area. and that is as i say, not a veried identifying story. it's not been told clearly very much before either. and you can see why. it's something embarrassing on both side. it was very shaming for church churchill and to british to think they would have to go bust before the americans would help them. and roosevelt thought, i should be doing the right thing. we should be doing the right thing, but because congress won't do anything i have to do these miserable things first that we did suit a more general view about the america taking over from the brittanica. there was one person, senator charles -- one of the principle isolationists did get to the heart

look at the precipitating event that led to the interment of japanese americans, the attack on pearl harbor and the war with the japanese, the japaneseon against americans was very intense during the initial conflict, but after the initial trauma wore off, the persecution lesson. japanese-americans were integrated back into the american community relatively quickly. as the country moved away from the precipitating event, the persecution got better gradually. what you see in this campaign is the opposite. we have one successful terrorist attack on u.s. soil 11 years ago, get if you look at such -- things never get better. never or the abuses curtailed. even further away from the 9/11 attack, things continue to worsen. you see far more fbi raids and arrests where the fbi creates and funds and conceals a plot that it tricks young muslims into joining, then they trumpet that they have dismantled the plot. then they put them in prison for decades, far more so now than 10 years ago. when you look at the form of material prosecutions, they are far more remote connections to his designated terroris
