in hawaii, we are all proud of pearl harbor naval shipyards. contributions to our fleets readiness, and i want to be sure that the yard receives the resources it needs to keep our fleet in fighting shape. i look forward to hearing from you this afternoon, about how the fiscal year 2023 budget supports this plan. the navy has begun a once in a generation program to modernize its shipyards, under the shipyard infrastructure optimization program, or tsai op. this 20-year program to improve the infrastructure project has been neglected for many years and hasse we have to get it right. we are relying on the digital twin modeling and simulation effort to develop the most efficient, and productively up for operations at the for public shipyards. and last year, for example, we had to add $250 million, to fund the dry dock at the portsmouth naval shipyard due to unexpected ballooning of the estimated cost. we need to understand, what steps the navy has taken to ensure we have better cost estimates of the projects we are undertaking. and this will be imp

there were signs that pearl harbor might have been anticipated better. that's a discussion that's beyond this time today. most historians reject that revisionist charge, fundamentally they don't believe that roosevelt was a traitor, which he wouldn have been, had he done that. i think the failure of americans better to anticipate pearl harbor, better might have been chalked up -- and essentially and historians have come to this, essentially chalked up to human error. and i particularly like the explanation of the historian who discredited the conspiracy theories, which he wrote as follows. she is talking about how revisionists, they should've seen this, the can see this, this happened, they should've known, they should've seen. she says, quote, it is much easier after the event to sort the relevant from the other irrelevant signals, after three events of course, the event is crystal clear. we can now see wind disaster it was signaling since the disaster it has occurred. but before, the event is obscure and filled with conflicting meanings, and short, she

this is important at the pearl harbor navy shipyard that will require significant dredging and filling. we also need to understand how the navy is structuring the effort to improve the efficiency of the navy shipyards to deal with the ship maintenance challenges. it's not limited just to derive docs that. extends optimizing the work on the shipyards and production facilities and other improvements configurations for this is why i've been so focused on the waterfront prediction or -- production workforce and i want to make sure the navy remains -- we need to maintain if we have if we are ever to reach the fleet required to respond to future threats. our success is critical to that goal. i once asked the navy to consider how the program could be accelerated without impacting it and i look forward to hearing how we can work together to make sure it's fully successful. i will now go to senator cramer. >> thank you chairwoman hirono as well as senator kaine the ranking member sullivan for holding this hearing gently to discuss our range of important naval ship issues. let's face it it's not

so he likened the magnitude of january 6th immediately to pearl harbor.ady this process of mythmaking was underway hours after congress reconvened and they evaded that momentary trauma of having the legislative business interrupted for a couple hours. that is what we were told was tantamount to pearl harbor. >> tucker: i remember that well, you are one of the very few who pointed that out. isn't that the legitimate role of the news media to add a little bit of perspective? 3,000 people killed on december 7th, 1941, ashley babbitt killed on january 6th, pearl harbor? nobody pushed back against that. >> most of the media would probably only push back from the standpoint of saying pearl harbor isn't extreme enough a comparison. they might have to invent some alien invasion or something to like in january 6th, given how emotionally traumatized they were by the whole experience it's interesting the democrats continue to focus on this issue because who were the purported victims of january 6th? over the people they are claiming really suffer the most? namely it

that's what we were told was tantamount to pearl harbor. i remember very well you were one of the very few pointed it out, isn't it the role the legitimate role of the newsi and a little bit of n perspective. maybe you don't editorialize, but i don't knowed three thousad people killed on december 7th, 1941, actually babic killed on january six like pearl harbor. why nobody pushed back against that ? well, because most of the media probably would only push back from the standpoint of saying that pearl harbor isn't of mtreme enough a comparison. they might have to invent some you alien invasion or something to like in januaryua six to given how emotionally traumatized they were by the whole experienceotot. you know, it's interesting that democrats continue to ineluctably on this issue because who were the purported victimss of january six ? who are the people that they'ret claiming really suffered the most? well, mainly it's the politicians and journalists who are in the capital that day and those happen to be two of the most despised groups

and then of course after the after the japanese had attacked in pearl harbor six days after that five days after that hitler declares, he's had enough of roosevelt's nigging and nigging at him and decides to declare war on the united states the german declaration of war in the us comes before the congress declares war on germany and therefore at the end of 1941. no wonder churchill was jubilant. no wonder he was walking around a white house hoff naked in a sort of flannel long flannel shirt of being he's just punches. he said germans had it. to service union and had attacked germany and now is three big powers. against to one and a half two and a half and the odds were on the side of the productive power churchill recognize that you need a time and fighting leadership to carry it through. so there was a story there of a broad deleon attempt which went failed because of a hubris of the political leadership in japan and in germany, there might be some lessons for our own time in that very point that you just made people. yes, please the back. it gives you questions too that again. yeah,

he actually passed away on december 7th the anniversary of pearl harbor, but we were lucky to have known him here at the museum lucky to have honored him while he was still alive and it's been really great, you know to have this opportunity to sort of highlight and hopefully i've just sort of open the crack of the door for you guys. to learn a lot more about ralph morse. um, famously one of the last owners of time magazine before it became life said that if they could only afford one photographer, it would be ralph morse which is very kind his career again spanning over 44 years. he won over 30 awards for photography. he was a recipient of the 1995 joseph sprague award, which is considered the highest honor in the field of photojournalism. and then in 2010, he was awarded the britain had in lifetime achievement award for his world war two photographs. obviously the man had a remarkable career and again, it's been an honor to sort of highlight to you guys sort of in a very small way each little piece of his career. so i guess without further ado are there any questions comments concerns?

before pearl harbor, it was being played at every professional sports game in the u.s.very baseball game started with it. it is the feeling of threat and uncertainty that rallies them around the national anthem and then the song makes people feel like they can withstand and will be able to survive the international crisis. after world war ii we have had the star-spangled banner and one thing i found is a photograph of president truman in 1945 meeting with the commissioner of the national football league, which was not the powerhouse it is now, it was at the beginning of the growth of football in america but he is the president a golden ticket to any game and promises at that point the star-spangled banner will be played at every game and as much a part of a football game as the kickoff. that's the first time we can document a promise from a sports league to play it at every game. susan: we going to run out of time but whitney houston at the super bowl in 1991 come we are going to play it. ♪ >> ♪ ♪ oh say can you see by the dawn's early light what so proudly we hailed at

following the attacks on pearl harbor and with anti-japanese hysteria were at its peak, these young men raised their hands and demanded the right to defend america. with the support of u.s. military officers and others in hawaii and elsewhere, the federal government eventually created an owl nesei or second generation japanese american army yeunt the 100th infantry battalion. before their deployment in august of 1943, the men of the one-puka-puka selected the motto remember the pearl harbor to reflect anger at the attack on their country. although the cloud of racism and underlying uncertainty hoferred over these brave americans, their performance was exemplary. they arrived in north africa but transferred to central italy where it faced heavy combat. it became known as the purple heart battalion because of its high casualty rate. one of its members and casualties was captain spark who suffered grievous injuries. he later became a membered of this haloed house and after that the united states senator. inspiring generation, including me, who was privileged to serve three years on his sta

so we don't have to look back that far to understand the mentality of the country after pearl harbor. just look at what happened after 9/11. >> no, i think interesting that the supreme court, again, played a key role there in determining whether the muslim ban, travel bans and things were constitutional. and, you know, again, it found itself in the middle of this political tour -- firestorm as it has this so many cases. so when president biden was elected after the three supreme court justices being appointed by trump, there was this movement that he should pack the court and sort of walk us through, we'll start with you, john and then ralph, walk us through what that would mean. how could that even happen in today's political environment and what that process would actually look like today. >> well, that's key qualifier. there are not the votes, and there's not the political priority to do that. the means would be exactly what roosevelt proposed in 1937. it would just be a new law that grows the court. and there is a fair basis to think that the ordinary process was hinted both in 20
