pearl harbor. we have all seen that film of president roosevelt standing in the wells of the united states on december 8th, 1941, saying saying that december 7th, 1941, is a date that would live in infamy because of japan's surprise attack on the us naval base at pearl harbor. there is no evidence that president roosevelt or his cabinet knew in advance specifically that japan would attack pearl harbor but they should not have been surprised that japan would attack the united states. in november of 1941 only a few weeks before pearl harbor, joseph grew spent two telegrams, secretary of state, warning him that japan was prepared to launch a suicidal war against the united states and that armed conflict would come with dangerous and dramatic suddenness. who was joseph grew and how did he know that? in november of 1941 joseph grew was 61 years old, tall, lean, bushy eyebrows, full mustache, he had been an american diplomat for almost 40 years and he had been america's ambassador to japan -- can you hea

pearl harbor." this is a very complicated. in a very complicated story about how president roosevelt was trying to navigate this transition from america being an isolationist neutral country when he you want to get into ts war but he didn't really want to get into the war with japan because he wanted to get in the war with germany. but, of course, american policy was forcing a decision one way or another. you will hear a fantastic story. the book is "in the cauldron." there would be a book signing afterwards. please welcome lew paper. [applause] >> thank you all for coming. when paul said he's going to introduce me, i had only one request. i said i don't care if it's true or not, just make me look good. and i think you did a great job. but i do want to thank paul and cliff for the invitation to be here. it's a great honor and i'm very privileged and very flattered to have received the invitation. being here has a special meaning for me. when i was a little boy, my father talked to me all the time a

pearl harbor. we have all seen that film of president roosevelt standing in the well of the united states house of representatives on december 8, 1941 saying that it is a date that will live in infamy because of japan's surprise attack on the u.s. naval base at pearl harbor. there's no evidencthere is no et president roosevelt or his apbinet knew in advance specifically that japan was attacked pearl harbor. but they shouldn't have been supposed tsurprised japan wouldn the united states. to the secretary of state warning him japan was prepared to launch a suicidal war against the united states and that armed conflict could come with dangerous and dramatic suddenness. so who was joseph and how did he that? in november of 1941, he was 61-years-old. paul, bushy eyebrows, full mustache. he'd been an h american diplomat for almost 40 years. he had been america's ambassador for almost ten years there were four factors that led them to those telegrams. the secretary of state in november, 1941. the first fa

naval base at pearl harbor. there's noth evidence that president roosevelt or his cabinet new and advanced specifically that japan what attack pearl harbor. they would not be surprised japan what attack united states. november 1941, only a few weeks before pearl harbor, joseph sent to telegrams from the secretary of state. warning him that japan was prepared to launch a suicidal more against united states and that conflict would come, dangerous and dramatic settlement. how did he know that? in november, 1941, joseph was 61 years old. tall, lean, bushy eyebrows, full mustache. he had been an american diplomat for almost 40 years. he had been america's ambassador to japan, can you hear me better now? joseph had been an american diplomat for almost 40 years. he had been america's ambassador to japan almost ten years. there were four factors that led him to send those to telegrams, secretary of state cordell hull and november 1941. the first factor was a japanese economy. united states had imposed economic sanctions

we were not prepared for pearl harbor. it took us six months to gear up to go to war, same with 9/11 and the same with this. so this is a historical brain fart, if you will. if you look throughout history. i don't recall any world leaders seeing this coming and sounding the alarm. said, climate change, i agree with that color. it is also the way we -- i agree with that caller. it is also the way we travel now. i think there needs to be more videoconferencing. i just think that travel aspect of it all -- host: do you think people will travel a lot less after this? caller: for business but not for pleasure. i'd know -- i know people who travel back-and-forth to china several times a month. i am wondering if it is necessary that we do that. it helps to facilitate the spread of viruses like this. why it was as big of an issue, because travel was not as big as it is now. host: before we go, how is your daughter doing? caller: she is trying to keep her courage up. we have been leaning on our faith a lot. healthy,ung, she is but

that said, some 2400 people died at pearl harbor, 3,000 at 9/11. we're already close to 10,000 deaths and counting from the coronavirus in the united states. it's on a completely different scale, unprecedented scale. not to mention that with pearl harbor and 9/11, you're talking about attacks by other people, a foreign government and were somewhat less predictable. we've been warning about a pandemic of this scale for decade, quite literally. this is not something that could not have been anticipated. >> we could have taken the time to prepare for it. japanese aircraft carrier on november 7th instead of december 7th so that you could prepare for that month. >>> dr. moraga, i want to ask you about the peak. the idea we may see the peak in new york city sometime in the next seven to ten days. is that your predicted timeline, where you are in new jersey, and what does that mean exactly for your hospital? >> so, just looking at specific data from our own health system, starting the week of the 22nd of march to the 29th of march, we went from 600 case t

he was celebrating when pearl harbor came around. it was finally, thank god, thank god. took pearl harbor to bring you in but everything the british could do they did to persuade you guys to come in. >> mr. kleiner, would you talk briefly about the relationship between the leader of the flying tigers and general shack and malcolm chang who was educated in the united states? >> yes, it was a fascinating story and real honor to tell it in the book. he's one of the most fascinating commanders from world war ii and he was a basically an army air force stunt pilot. he grew up in the backwoods of louisiana and he became essentially a predecessor to the blue angels preheated group called the flying trapeze that was stationed over at maxwell air force base or army base in alabama and they would travel the country doing these acrobatic performances that were rysome of the most well-known acrobatic pilot acts in the country which was a very big deal at the time and at the miami airshow in 1935 he was approached by a chinese military officer who said how would you like to, fly for

yes. >> six months after pearl harbor was the battle of midway. i wonder where your family was at the time and how your father reacted to that? pia: my father was still at tokyo at our home there. but my mother and i were already up in the mountains. all during the war, of course, this group of people, who were of some consequent politically, had access to interesting information that was not publicly available. but it was certainly a very consequential road to defeat after the midway incident. i cannot honestly tell you what my father's reaction might have been because i was not close to him at the time. we were in the mountains. he was in tokyo. >> one more question. i think we had a question over -- peter. >> what information got to you in tokyo and what was the reaction among the people that you knew to the dropping of the bomb on hiroshima? pia: that was one news that was immediately publicized in the papers, although the media was pretty much controlled by the government. and the immediate result was the disbelief of what that single bomb co

>> this afternoon in pearl harbor -- the japanese have attacked pearl harbor, hawaii by air, president roosevelt has just announced. (music) >> yesterday, december 7, 1941, a date which will live in infamy. the united states of america was suddenly and deliberately attacked by the forces of the empire of japan. i ask that the congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by japan on sunday, december 7, 1941, a state of war has existed between the united states and the japanese empire. (music) [choir singing] >> the attack was part of a larger military plan to seize control of oil on the pacific rim. japan's goal was to destroy our ability to stand in their way. four days later, germany and italy were allied with japan and declared war on the united states. roosevelt had believed for some time that germany posed the greatest threat to america's long-term security. when hitler and mussolini sent there war machines against the united states, his concerns were proven justified and the need to respond was obvious. as the united states entered the war, the situation was gri

this is the attack on pearl harbor on december seven of 1941 that pulls us into war. what you see in this exhibition is one of our first responses to pearl harbor is to round up our own japanese-american citizens and forcibly remove them from the west coast. nearly 120,000 of people of japanese ancestry are removed. two thirds of those our citizens. this is one of fdr's worst moments as president. and it's done in the name of national security, in fear of spies among these communities. some americans call these places concentration camps. you see a congressman in 1942 saying, i'm putting them in concentration camps. the naacp's magazine writes about american concentration camps, and says color seems to be the only possible reason why thousands of american citizens of japanese ancestry are in concentration camps. they call a camp in independence, california, they call it a phoenix spot of lonely. you see some of the racist anti-japanese propaganda. these are japanese hunting licenses, or licenses and pins encouraging people, as it says here, "shoot a a day. the defence

surgeon general says this week will be like a pearl harbor moment for this nation. >> dr. anthony fauci says we are struggling to get the coronavirus under control. here's the map this morning with the u.s. death toll now approaching 10,000 people. new york is reporting more than 4,000 deaths, followed by new jersey with more than 900 and michigan with over 600. and then louisiana, california and washington state making up the third tier. >> overnight, as promised by president trump, a plane from china landed in los angeles carrying more medical supplies that will be country. also overnight we learned at least 30 patients at a southern california nursing home have uji coverage. >> reporter: somber words and a warning from the u.s. surgeon general about what lies ahead for the nation. >> next week is going to be our pearl harbor moment, our 9/11 moment. it's going to be the hardest moment for many americans in their entire lives. >> reporter: there are now more than 330,000 coronavirus cases in the u.s. and more than 9,400 people have died. officials say three hot zones acr

the surgeon general warning americans to brace for, quote, our pearl harbor this moment. as doctors fauci and birx ramp up their warnings saying that this country doesn't have the pandemic under control and we have to do even more to slow the spread. >> this is the moment to not be going to the grocery store, not going to the pharmacy. >> things are going to get bad. we need to be prepared for that. it's certainly really disturbing to see that but that's what's going to happen before it turns around. i will not say we have it under control. that would be a false statement. >> those dire warnings delivered as a fight between donald trump and the scientists spilled into public view. a major confrontation this weekend within the white house coronavirus task force over an unproven potential coronavirus drug treatment, axios describing a clash like never before seen since the task force was assembled. one in which dr. anthony fauci was firm in his view that much more data and research is needed before the drug under consideration can be considered for effective treatment in th

this is the attack on pearl harbor on december 7 1941 that pulls us into war. what you see in this exhibition is one of our first responses to pearl harbor is to round up our own japanese-american citizens and forcibly remove them from the west coast. nearly 120,000 people of japanese ancestry are removed forcibly to 10 inland camps. two-thirds of those are citizens. this again speaks to national security fears. this is one of fdr's worst moments as president, issuing the executive order that allowed these citizens to be forcibly removed. and it's done in the name of national security, a fear of spies among these communities. interestingly, some americans call these places concentration camps. you see congressman john rankin in 1942 saying, i am for catching every japanese and in america, alaska, and hawaii now and putting them in concentration camps. the crisis magazine, the naacp's magazine, writes about american concentration camps and says color seems to be the only possible reason why thousands of american citizens of japanese ancestry are in concentration

i don't remember pearl harbor but i sure preb 9/11.hat do you have to say to the sunch sun surgeon general's remarks? >> thanks for having me here. i think the 9/11 or pear 1 was one day. we know the e effects of it lasted longer. i don't know how many 9/11s we'll have. whether or not the next two weeks will be the peak is question to be had. different states are doing dinc different things. and different countries have different policieses. because each state is doing something different, it's hard to say what we an as a whole will have happen. >> most of the bay area will soon will entering its fourth week at shelter at home cases. and things are slowing down. do you think we are flatten the curve? no time to ease up, i guess. >> again, terry, that is an interesting point. and flattening curve, most people to say we have a lower than expected prevalence or incident so far. again, we are not completed. and we are no treating california like its own country, the border are open. we are not doing as great a screening at the borders from

trumpet ministration and it's officials in a big gun likening the coronavirus to pearl harbor they've also measured the number of deaths against those of 911 eliciting anger from many who actually survived those events meanwhile the mainstream media not thinking twice to run with those comparisons because guess what translation allows them gets clicks joining us to discuss all of this a veteran journalist who has been on the scene. and disasters like hurricane katrina rick sanchez host of the news with rick sanchez so rick you have been a journalist for a long time you've covered a myriad of topics and issues what do you make of the trumpet ministration likening coronavirus to these manmade intentional attacks on our country such as 911 or the sneak attack on pearl harbor are those fair comparisons or an attempt to politicize the sentiment behind this virus. there's no question that there's always going to be some politicization of something like this as well as what were you know terry terminology it's hard to fathom that just 2 and a half short months ago this white house was callin

for pearl harbor.what you need to do is go, what do we need to do now? and be specific. and we all live in our lanes of responsibility, and some of those lanes overlap, and there are gray areas. this is not unusual in a fog of war. >> i'm just curious, though, governor, i want to follow up. i'm obsessed, i put that quote up for the surgeon general, the public health official from ohio, amy acton. are you surprised more politicians aren't erring on the side of caution. it seems if you're wrong about this, boy, is that a bad way to be wrong. if you're wrong and you have been overly alarmist, well, nobody extra has died. if you're wrong and you have underplayed, boy, you have a lot to answer for. >> i had a theme during our crisis and hurricanes was be overprepared and hopefully be underwhelmed. and that i think should be the goal of every leader. there is this tremendous balance that we all have, and one thing about even the stay-at-home policy, i could say it almost discriminates against the blue-collar

united states, the third surgeon general, telling americans that the week ahead will compare to pearl harbor, 9/11, in the scale of shock, heartbreak, and human loss. dr. jerome adams saying the coming week will be, in his words, the hardest and the saddest week in most americans' lives. he and other medical officials have focused on the fighting of the coronavirus pandemic, fully expecting the number of americans infected and the number of americans to die will both rise dramatically. listen to this. >> well, this is going to be a bad week, margaret, unfortunately, if you look at the projection of the curves, of the kinetics of the curves. we're going to continue to see an escalation. also, we should hope that within a week, maybe a little bit more, we'll start to see a flattening out of the curve and coming down. the mitigation that we're talking about that you just mentioned is absolutely key to the success of that. so, on the one hand, things are going to get bad, and we need to be prepared for that. it is going to be shocking to some. it certainly is really disturbing to see that. but t

. >> this is going to be our pearl harbor moment, our 9/11 moment. it's not going to be localized, it's going to be happening all over the country. >>> new york is still being hit the hardest, but there was some optimistic news on sunday that led president trump to say this -- >> we're starting to see light at the end of the tunnel. >> plus, the queen gives a primetime address to rally the u.k. as its prime minister spends the night in the hospital. >>> well, the top u.s. public health official with sobering words for the united states. surgeon general jerome adams telling americans the week ahead will compare to pearl harbor or 9/11 in terms of heartbreak and lost lives. here's where things stand right now. according to johns hopkins university there are more than 337,000 cases of coronavirus in the united states. more than 9600 americans have died because of it. at least 25,000 new cases were reported on sunday alone along with more than 1100 deaths. while authorities are coping with the deluge of patients and preparing for more, in some places nat

between the period that the europe goes to war and pearl harbor in december of 1947. when europe goes to war, americans want to stay out of that war and americans did not want to let in refugees. and fdr spends all of his political capital during this period, 39, 40, 41, trying to move from isolation to intervention. he does this with the choice to run for a third time, which is unpopular. but the american government does not spend any time trying to move public opinion on that refugee question. so this film looks at the presidential leadership, instituting the first peacetime draft in the u.s. history. for example, in the summer of 1940 running for a third time, trying to get americans to support the land lease bill to arm the allies, and ultimately moving us toward the brink of intervention by the time of 1941. >> this is the attack on pearl harbor on december 7th of 1941 that pulls us into war. and, what you see in this exhibition is one of our first responses to pearl harbor, to round up our own japanese american citizens and forcibly remove them from the west coa

by the way, down here it says, remember pearl harbor. which is kind of hard to forget at the moment, when this comic was published. let's open up the cover and let's look at the first page. i will zoom in here. captain america, new, different, exciting. number 13, who is the editor? stan lee. i told you that mark goodman was ahead of marvel comics or the company that would become marvel comics. and, a distant relative of his who was just a kid at the time comes to marvel, he is hired to basically be a gofor. and what is a gofor? go for this, for that. sweep the floor, refill the ink, little rinky-dink jobs like that. the guy got paid. and overtime, as simon and kirby moved on to other things and other features, and as other people working at marvel were drafted into the army, stan lee becomes the only guy left in the office. sometimes, working for a small company can help you out if you are the only guy left in the office, because at that very young age, guess what? he is the editor. stan lee would later say, it was supposed to be tempor
