ifle anyone said pearl harbor japanese bombed pearl harbor and open the camps.lity is it was the culmination of this decades long campaign by groups up and down the west coast to try to remove asian-americans from the united states. groups that we think of now as upstanding citizens like the american legion were staunchly anti-immigration and teamed up with politicians farmers and ranchers to pass anti-law lands and housing discrimination. this is sort of my little thing that i always talk about like my one little niche that i find interesting that most people do not sign warning you now. japanese and japanese-american families began to dominate farming up and down the west coast. as early as 1910 japanese farmers produce 70% of california strawberries and on the eve of pearl harbor in 1941 japanese american bombers controlled every bit as -- in two out of every three acres of all vegetable farms in los angeles county. when pearl harbor happened they saw it as an opportunity to sort of regain their place on top of the agricultural world onn theth west coast and

they had been spying for decades leading up to pearl harbor. and every report that comes oute says one thing and that's that japanese americans were no threat to the safety of the united states. naval intelligence, the fbi and the war department had spies and informants in the community for years up and down from seattle down into california and mexico. the verdict was that japan and theld united states go to war is that japanese americans would be loyal to the united states. all these and informants said the same thing. as was proven later on in that no japanese american was convicted of sabotage or espionage during world war ii, the same cannot be said of her german-americans or italian americans who there was one set of german-americans who decided to take it upon themselves to release a whole batch of german pows from a camp in new mexico and despite all this i think we are still allowed to say that racism is bad in this country. it led to the creation of the camps and there was no military for that. it was a frenzy to this land grab. ins c

you would say pearl harbor. japanese bombed pearl harbor and then we open the camps. in reality it was the camso opening was this decade the ending the culmination of this decades von campaign by groups up and down the west coast to try to remove asians and asian americans from the united states groups, like the native sons the golden west and even groups that we think of now as sort of upstanding citizens like the american legion were staunchly anti-immigration and teamed up with politicians farmers and ranchers to pass racist anti-land laws immigration quotas and housing discrimination. and this is sort of my little thing that i always talk about. it's like my one little knit that i find very interesting that most people do not so i'm warning you now that the main reason for all this happened was farming and japanese and japanese american families have begun to really dominate farming up and down the west coast even by >> as early as 1910 japanese farmers produced 25 percent of california strawberries and on the eve of pearl harbor japanese americans almost controll

pearl harbor or no pearl harbor, he wanted out of the army. when my father got to visit him, my father was sent to biloxi. his way of protesting was that he would not salute officers and my father was terrified for him, horrified that he would end up in the stockade or something. my uncle had always loved deer hunting before he got drafted and came up with a formula to prevent rust and field weapons. he presented that to the army and they were so impressed with it. he was then artillery. they were so impressed with it that he got the second highest medal for that, i think a legion of merit, and a promotion from private to lieutenant, so now everybody had to salute him. this story was told after my father died by my mother, who said it was hilarious. my uncle went on to serve in france with an honorable discharge and a medal. i would like to retell that story. host: did your uncle ever salute your father? caller: my father was a staff sergeant, so he would have had to salute uncle. host: everybody has a different story and we had a -- my wife a

yeah, the fall guy after pearl harbor that was but franklin roosevelt. as i mentioned just a minute ago shocked as i believe he genuinely was he got a phone call from winston churchill who heard about this on the radio. oh my gosh. what what's this about pearl harbor? what have i heard? and he said yes, it's true. we're all in the same boat now roosevelt had been determined to save britain if he could lend lease whatever aid he could provide he comes up with the whole idea of lending a garden hose of your neighbor's house is on fire. well now clearly is the opportunity to provide all the aid that britain needs and the soviet union too for that matter since hitler had invaded the soviet union in june of that year. so this gave him a vision that the war could be one and i think that was just as for lincoln winning the war was first abolishing slavery is great, but you've got to win the war you have to hold a union together or nothing else can happen and i think roosevelt felt the same way about the second world war. and you alluded to the fact that rooseve

but pearl harbor has led some to say, well, we had broken their diplomatic code, not their operationale but their diplomatic code, we should have known more than we did, not all that we knew was shared with the operational commanders. did president roosevelt know or guess the japanese might do this? i've looked very hard into this and i don't think you can make that case. i know when he got the phone call at 1:00 in the afternoon washington time from the secretary of the navy frank knox, he pounded his left hand on the desk and said "no" when he was told the japanese had bombed pearl harbor. but then he became very calm, made sure congress would meet in a special session. that calmness after the crisis has led some to suspect he saw this coming. i don't think he did, i think he intended the fleet's presence at pearl harbor as a deterrent to prevent a war, not to start a war. but it's a conversation we can have. >> major anderson, who was in command at fort sumter, returned to new york city, and later wrote that he didn't know whether he was coming back to a parade or a court-martial. c

in the case of fraud pearl harbor, we had clues of japan's intent, and the likelihood of attack at pearl harbor, but we didn't put those together in time. right? so it was too fragmented. that's why we've got the central intelligence agency. 9/11, same thing. we had 23 opportunities to penetrate that cloth, that's research i've done, and the cia and the fbi missed every single one. in part because they couldn't share or coordinate what they were doing. wmds, a little bit of a different story. there it was really a collection failure. we didn't correct the right information, and an analysis failure, right? so our intelligence analysts didn't scrub there thinking enough to ask what if saddam were actually not developing his weapons of mass destruction? so, but again, this was an organizational problem. and so, there were a lot of reforms after iraq to improve that. so for example, dissenting views are not much more highlighted in national intelligence estimate. before, they were relegated to flight unit. people are busy, they don't tend to read footnotes. so if you have a dissenting point

pearl harbor, 9/11 and iraqi wmds. what do they have in common? intelligence fiascoes one way or another. is there a common thread between them, amy? >> the common thread, at least for me -- and i see everything through an organizational lens. so for me the common thread of those is the organizations were the problem, that if you could have put superman in charge of intelligence in pearl harbor and 9/11 and iraq and you still would have gotten intelligence failure. why? in the case of pearl harbor we had clues of japan's intent and the likelihood of attack but we didn't put those together in time. it was too fragmented. that's why we got the central intelligence agency. 9/11 same thing. we had 23 opportunities to penetrate that plot, research i've done, and the cia and the fbi missed every single one in part because they couldn't share or coordinate what they were doing. wmd is a little bit of a different story. there it was really an analysis failure. our intelligence analysts didn't scrub their thinking enough to ask what if saddam were actually

it is an historic story and it gave a huge boost to the united states in the dark days after pearl harboris could be an event like that. i believe that this has the fingerprints of the ukrainians all over it. >> and admiral, when we are seeing now and richard was saying about the difference that we have been seeing over the course of the last couple of days and a week and a half now, it seems like, they're out of chernobyl, it is clearly they're not attacking kyiv as much as they were before. do you see, admiral, a change in how russia is dealing with its presence in ukraine? >> i do, jose, the most striking thing is let's go back to five weeks ago when this started, plan a, was let's decapitate those zelenskyy regime in the case of zelenskyy and put a puppet government there and effectively conquer the country in minimal losses, that was plan a. it failed utterly. plan b starts to look like consolidate forces in the southeast and become a tougher target for the ukrainians and more fortification in the southeast, consolidate a land bridge from russia itself down to crimea in stark positio

on the morning of december 7, japan attacked the american naval base at pearl harbor on the same day the united states declared war on japan. i am merit. maybe we will reward. this is a common merit, comrade stalin good evening, this is a special edition of a great game. today we have a big conversation with sergei viktorovich lavrov, minister of foreign affairs of the russian federation sergeevich, thank you very much for agreeing to talk with us despite your incredible busyness. thanks for the invitation. if the game is big, you need to play the game very big. uh, because the stakes in this game are, as you know, the best. whoever you are to another is very great. uh, and i'm sure a lot of things are said in washington. well, to be honest, your idea of ​​beauty and even your idea of ​​reality will not fit in, but i think one statement that president biden often makes. this statement i think you will agree with it, namely that it is important to avoid a third world war. what you need to keep in mind the existing danger well you know, the leading american harvard political scientist?

historically when we think of cyber and warfare we think of pearl harbor. of the blue surprise event that produces catastrophic effect and that is not what we've seen so far but we have seen a lot of cyber activity, offensive, some sort of affect to destroy them, degrade them, deny users ability to access them as well as significant cyber defense. i wouldn't anyone to think we are not seeing a lot of activity. what we are seeing has not generated the catastrophic effect many people thought would be the war. with respect to the other question, does this mean we are seeing pt from the russians? number one, it is very challenging to have significant cyber affect against high-quality network operator who is focused on defense, very aggressive, using good defense of cyber security capability. that a typical challenge and secondly those activities having been involved in these in my previous life often take weeks and months. what this shows about russian cyber, one of our take aways, we will see what we learn over time. to suggests the russians optimized themselv

surprise attack was cob received in the wake of the pearl harbor bombing four months earlier.ttle. 16 american b-25 planes launched from a navy aircraft carrier bombed targets in tokyo and several other cities. all of the planes either ditched or crass crash landed that raid seen as a huge morale booster following the devastation of pearl harbor. >> the damage done were because of the low altitude from which the bombs were dropped and because of the highly inflammable nature of japanese structures.

. >> one might call the existential policy be at world war ii, pearl harbor. it trumps other things that are subsumedte as being irrelevant r some period of time so how do you see that playing off in the making of economic policy to be able to move from the existential state which the government power is in the pursuit of some type of survival trneed as opposed to the trade-offs in which play different types of policy practices? >> it does become a political question and i have been to be a very opinionated person and what i wanted to do in the book is have the precepts if they were brought to the public policy would give the certain foundation that would enlighten and enable better policymaking so most people in fact most on the right do the opposite. they drive the economics from the politics. the economicsde we are referring to in the acknowledgment that there is a trade-off. at the beginning concession. it happened to be not one or 2% but the fact of the matter that the trade-offs are real and then where you go from there to the end adjudication and the li

when he talked to our own congress, he talked about 9/11 and pearl harbor. and he does it in a respectful and historical way, but he also isn't afraid to goad people a little and really challenge them to -- our leaders, i mean -- challenge them to live up to their ideals. >> president trump has claimed that this invasion "never would have happened in the trump administration." i've heard that you have also suggested that putin might not have gone to war if trump was still in office. and you said, "you don't need to go to war if you're getting everything you want through other means." tell me what you meant by that. >> trump was... very dismissive of nato. i mean, "dismissive" is obviously a diplomatic word. very critical of nato, critical of our allies, and his close associates, including john bolton, have said that if he had won a second term, he would have pulled us out of nato. i mean, why go to war, if you're vladimir putin, if the united states is going to present, you know, kind of the corpse of nato on a silver platter? you don't need to do that. >> i

that day was december 7th 1941 when our nation was shocked by the early morning attack on pearl harbor. for my generation that day was november 22nd 1963 the day that president john f. kennedy was assassinated on a street in downtown, dallas. i was a senior then at robert e lee high school in midland, texas, and i was sitting in a classroom when we learned that the president had been killed. for the people of new york and to tell the press that we were postponing the senate education committee briefing. senator greg insisted that we were merely postponing it that we would reschedule because we wouldn't let the terrorist prevail. at that moment larry mcquillan from usa today. ask a question that was on the minds of many americans. he asked. what do you say to the childre'e said in nearly every interview and i'll say i'm sad and they'll nod their heads and say that they're sad, too. where a different country than we were on september 10th in ways that the terrorist could not have imagined or intended. we'll go back to our routines as we always do but we'll do so with a stronger sense of

i lived in a hotel for 11 months i arrived on pearl harbor day in 1989 which is in retrospect seems appropriatend i was there until the birthday and i left on october 15 in between i made a few dashing trips back i was in abilene. it is a very small town in the middle of nowhere. >> kansas. >> with a profound sense, 6000 people and i've never been there of costs consciousness a wonderful coworker and there were two restaurants in town and its upscale as much as the surrounding. >> i took the staff periodically. widow book for woodward wilson on december 28 which people attended but any of it i would find excuses and take people to bunch because remember i was the outsider and people notice my being there. and at the same time really resilient and the 14th of october. we put 40 events together including content on race relation. herbert brought no and for members came together in abilene kansas to relive that experience. but anyway the coworker one day was one of the people at the kirby house. and "after words" i had never been in the kirby house. >> ironically he was born in texas but he lived

the soviet union to the victory in passing, but in detail about the anti-hitler coalition about pearl harborrrender. in japan, for two lessons a week, go through everything from adam to under rent, as the teachers say, it is impossible at some point. interest was lost among the guys, that is, take interest. when you can ask, answer, discuss, argue, and find some information, but we have a plan for an oval according to plan. history at school today has become. there is no optional exam. and if someone publishes the unified state examination with tests, the main thing is not to check how children evaluate what is happening for the emasculation of history, there is a substitution of concepts. i see. she is an example of our neighbors. there, too, it all began with monuments. that is why the teacher today, as a fighter on the front line , children go to him and ask how to understand what is happening now in russia in ukraine, how to understand the events of recent days and, in fact, a history teacher, a teacher of the humanities cycle, history social sciences, they just carry this knowledge. the

into the second world war, if my memory serves me in march, uh, forty-one before the attack on pearl harbor, but this program involved the provision by the united states of a large number weapons of military equipment and the soviet union and european countries, countries, and members of the anti-hitler coalition. that is, the land fox was largely a replacement direct. fortunately, the united states in the war against nazi germany and militaristic japan and fascist italy, and then after the united states began to fight e, entered the second world war, the lend list continued in parallel with participation. uh, the united states in this war. yes, that is, in fact. now the united states is, as it were, indirectly yes indirectly entering the war. if this, but the bill is signed, and by the president baid, also at this same ministerial meeting today. and nato general secretary hey, stolplenberg. he said that from now on, the north atlantic alliance should not make a distinction between offensive and defensive weapons and substitute offensive weapons for ukraine, and not only and not so much def

we paused, but hopeful isolation only delayed our sacrifice as japan hit pearl harbor and they declaredus. america made sure the good guys won and freedom and liberty would once again thrive in the west. the sole heavyweight opponent was the soviet union and their communism. and 40 years later we won that war, too, the cold war. now it looks like we are going to relinquish the crown. it began with obama's apology tour. >> in america there is a failure to appreciate europe's leading role in the world. brian: that went over well with china. >> they were barbaric, they had bitten all over my body. brian: it's still happening now. listen. as for russia. their barbarity is beyond comprehension. >> my son was wounded. two bullets went through his body. >> i told the one who raped me i am old enough to be your mother. he made me shut up. >> my children are dying. i could only take my daughter with me. brian: if we learned anything from our past, we should know avoiding conflict only delays conflict. if we don't confront things on our terms, it will be on our enemies' terms. america has global

it's like pearl harbor. and he kind of tried this kind of trick all over the place to, to, to, to get my sympathy. but i don't think these are all that successful runner as always. thank you very much for coming on the program and sharing your thoughts or your immediate thoughts to that un security council meeting. reiner rough publicist and former german intelligence officer ukrainian media has tried, apparently feels dependent blame on moscow for the gruesome killing of a woman in the city of maria, located in the netscape people's republic. now the victims, brickley mutilated body with a swastika carved into her stomach respond by russian lead troops after they pushed the new nazi a's off italian from a civilian building. a week ago, the scene of the killing has since been visited by international journalists, including archie, reporters of warning. you may find the following images disturbing. i had the so snow had asked him, and this in fact is the cause of a woman by the look of it she was raped and a

"they took off their hats and waved their hands and told people i'm american, i'm american," he says, who was 13 back then. with chinese help, 51 of the rescued airmen made it to be smuggled to safety hiding out in this cave, some scratching their names into the stone. melinda leo's father volunteered as their translator. >> he wasn't the only one, of course. many chinese american did help the raiders and the communities here suffered some terrible retaliation at the hands of the japanese. >> reporter: 80 years after the first american combat the flying tigers and doolittle raiders are still a thing here in china. and at 101, harry moyer is a last and humble link to that past. >> i don't want to be exalted or anything like that. i'm just the last one, janice. >> reporter: and on his 100th birthday harry was still in the air and making history. >>> what an incredible legacy. janice said it best, a game changer. changer. >> and he' still s my mfloderat

your microphone here created >> the existential trauma with the small tea policy world war ii pearl harbor and the argument is that something like covid or 9/11 essentially trump's other things to extent that those trade-offs are existentially. how do you see that playing out in the making of economic policy to be able to move from me accidental state in the pursuit of some type of survival and need as opposed to the normal types ofat trade-offs with the interplay of different types of policies. >> that has become inherently bit of the political question as the tension exists in the political sphere and i happened to be a very opinionated person invariably we get what i wanted to do in the book is a political economic precepts that were brought to the public policy sphere within a certain foundation that would enable better policymaking so i think most people and in fact most on the right. most certainly in on the left do the opposite. they drive their economics fromf their politics. so what are economics referring to? it's first of all the acknowledge meant that there is aha trade-off. th

by frank capra who already had some army experience that joined back up after the bombings of pearl harbor and was immediately grabbed by his commanding officers because by that point he was an oscar winning hollywood director. he had some incentive to be used in this way rather than at the front, and so his commanding officer recruited him to do what he called, and i'm quoting now, documented factual information films that will explain to the boys in our army the principles for which we are fighting. so kind of invoking the documentary ethos but clearly meant to persuade. that's the line between documentary and propaganda and capra himself in reflections and how his approach was framed as an answer to "triumph of the will," considered to be one of the best if not the best, best in quotes, propaganda films of all time. so they've had a lot of success with the use of film for conveying information for persuading, for convincing. of course they thought it would have more applications in the classroom but more urgent in the dropping of bombs in hiroshima and japan and what several people call

that's the small team on policy the whether it's world war ii pearl harbor or the argument is is that something like covid or 9/11 essentially trump's other things to the extent that those trade-offs are subsumed as being existentially irrelevant for some period of time. so, how do you see that playing off in the making of economic policy to be able to move from the existential state in which government power is effectively untraveled in the pursuit of some type of a survival need as opposed to the normal types of trade-offs in which you have a real interplay of various types of policy preferences, so it does become an inherently a bit of a political question because the tension exists in the political sphere and i happen to be a very opinionated person politically and yet what i to do with the book is write it with what i believe are a political economic precepts that then if they were brought to the public policy sphere would give a certain foundation that would enlighten and enable better policy making so i think most people and in fact most on the right, but but most certainly mos

when our nation was shocked by the early morning attack on pearl harbor. for my generation, that day was november 22nd, 1963, the day that president john f. kennedy was assassinated on a downtown street in dallas. i was a senior then at robert e. lee high school in texas, and i was sitting in a classroom when we learned the president had been killed. i remember feeling as if a blanket had been thrown over our school suffocating all the usual sounds of chair scrapings and classroom chatter. people cried. the horror was so sudden and so unimaginable. i went home for lunch that day and i remember my parents' sadness. like most american families, we spent the next few days watching television. i remember it as a terrible blow, almost too much to bear. a sudden reminder at a very young age of how fragile life truly is. now we've experienced another one of those days in our national life, a day so horrifying it will be permanently seared in the hearts and memories of all of us who witnessed it. i was on my way to meet with senator ted kennedy when a secret servi

pearl harbor unified a very divided nation in december 1941. what did covid do like the opposite. or you can have civility compromise and consensus in congress. when's the last time we had that before example? lyndon johnson's closest friend was ever dirksen johnson a democrat dirks and a republican. linden-funded dirksen's campaign and supported with dirksen as a republican that's not going to happen. so we've got a constitution that's not working that gets the first two and you're gonna have people who are going to take to the streets and i'm gonna say quite legitimately when government becomes destructive this is right of people to alter abolish it. it's in the declaration of independence and you're seeing bits and pieces like that because as civil society becomes entirely dissatisfied with government. what are its recourses? they can't elect people who can make a difference. what does it then do and you refer back to 1776 and how this country got started. so what i'm suggesting here, is that the combination of a government that's not working based on a constitution that may no
