and to believe a pearl harbor conspiracy theory one had to think roosevelt and other national leaders had been involved in this massive convoluted plot to endraw americans to war, knowingly killed thousands of americans in the process and then it or faked evidence to edconceal their crimes. but that's how mccormick and his cousins saw the history of world war ii. in their view japan and germany never posed a real threat to the united states . the american people thought largely for 3 and a half years at least inpart to gratify franklin roosevelt's ego . so let me conclude by asking why is the story of the isolationist mainstream press of the 30s and 40s largely forgotten? i would argue historians of conservatism have often listened to the respectable voices of the elite media or intellectuals instead of the voices of the enraged populace . despite the greater reach of the latter. and the more highbrow quality newspapers may have influenced opinion leaders but first mccormick and patterson sheet the views of millions of ordinary americans. this was a very dangerous moment in world hist

and it was "the chicago tribune" that published the first major pearl harbor conspiracy theory story immediately after the war ended that suggested they had advanced knowledge of the attack. mccormick said it was the worst in u.s. history and to believe the conspiracy theory one had to think that roosevelt and other national leaders had been involved in this massive convoluted plot to draw americans to war and knowingly killed thousands of americansisn the process and hid evidence to conceal their crime. japan and germany never pose a real threat to the united states. the american people fought largely for three and a half aryears at least in part to gratify. let me conclude by asking why he isthe story of the mainstream press largely forgotten and i would argue historians listened to the respectable voices of the elite media for intellectuals instead of the voices of the enraged populists despite the greater reach of the latter and the more highbrow to quality newspapers may have influenced opinion leaders but they shaped the views of many ordinary americans. this is a very dangerou

navy defeat outside of pearl harbor. in contrast, the crew of virginia only suffered two casualties, and it doesn't wounded. that evening in 1862, the uss monitor arrives, coming down from new york where it had been built. it countered a scene of carnage and despair from the navy. they took a protective position, which is a state frigate, wooden sided. and no hopes for beto that was certain to come next day. confident from the previous day's victory, they came from 1000 yards out from the uss minnesota, causing an explosion. tasked with protesting -- they move to intercepted virginia, and for the next four hours, the ironclads circle each other, at point blank range, but doing no significant damage. each one trying to ram the other. each commander, trying to find a weeks but. through it all, minnesota remained afloat. only the iron ship could stop another iron ship. the battle that took place that day left neither the monitor or the virginia damaged, but both tides claimed victory. ultimately, they were called a draw. bu

december 71941 the navy attacks pearl harbor hawaii. the casualties total 2300 killed in 1177 aboard the uss -- it wasn't just four days later that the axis powers italy and germany declared war considered states and that happened on december 11. it's a little known historical fact that even though the germans and the japanese were allies they didn't necessarily share all the information. just like us they work unaware in a few days difference of the war declarations. to understand what kind of war the united states entered and again it was a global war and it's amazing to see how the united states could project its military prowess in the far pacific and atlantic in africa as well as asia. it's astounding so it shows how battles were fought on literally the other side of the planet. the most complex undertaken. we talked about the battle of the atlantic. the germans they needed to stop it. a month after germany were the first wave of u-boats arrived at these codes. operation drumbeat was the first of many operations that continued to l

wait a second, what is that, that is pearl harbor being attacked. we are going to switch from the army to the navy. and george, he is always up to something. now, in 1927 there is an intelligence officer who was there for the hawaiian division in pearl harbor. when he transfers out for his next assignment he writes a summary intelligence report. in that report he says, the japanese will attack pearl harbor on a sunday morning around 7:30 and they will do it with naval aircrafts. they will come in from the southwest. of course, they came in from the northwest. but, otherwise, they were 30 minutes later than his opposed attack time. everything else, he was right on the money. that is because he was a student of history. he lived, eight, and breathes history, all the time. later on he was stationed just up the road here, four times at fort myers. that was next to arlington national cemetery. in the mid 1930s it is not well known. he was the executive author. he built the old post chapel. many of you have gone there for winnings, and funerals. then he b

that's pearl harbor being attacked. how did we switch from the army to the navy? ah, george patton, he's always up to something. now in 1927 patton is the intelligence officer the g2 for the hawaiian division in pearl harbor. and when he transfers out for his next assignment, he writes a summary intelligence report. and in that report he says. the japanese will attack pearl harbor on a sunday morning around 7:30 and they'll do it with naval aircraft. coming in from the southwest course they came in from the northwest, but otherwise and were 30 minutes later than his proposed attack time, but everything else he was right on the money. that's because he was a student. of history lived eat breathed history all the time now later on. he was stationed just up the road here four times at fort myer. next to arlington national cemetery in the mid-1930s. it's not well known but he was the executive officer. he built the old post chapel. so many of you have gone there for weddings and funerals. then he became the commanding officer and where you go to patton hall the office

once again, pearl harbor comes into play.because he is the armies signals intelligence officer in the movie who tries to alert president roosevelt and general marshall about the japanese attack coming forth on december 7th, 1941. so later in the war, the real colonel bratton, he is then assigned to paton's headquarters as his ultra officer. and that is how it was done. now, the key to it was made from the brilliant novel, and the old adage, many truth is said i am here to tell you many truth is sudden fiction. read the key to rebecca, david soul and cliff robinson did an excellent job on it. i was lucky enough to have a private lunch with david seoul many years ago when he was going to do a six part many serious on the civil war, and he asked me to be his technical adviser. unfortunately, he sold the rights of that many series to gregory pet so. pet could play lincoln. he was a very serious amateur historian. and he really wanted to do a good job, much like he did here in the key to rebecca. this will give you insights, a sid

the case of pearl harbor, we had cues of japan's intent? and the likelihood of the attack at pearl harbor? we did not put those together in time? right? it is too fragmented. that is why we got the central intelligence agency. 9/11, same thing? we had 23 opportunities to trade that. it is research i have done on the cia and fbi. they missed every single one. in part because they could not share or coordinate what they were doing. wmd is a little bit of a different story. there it was really a collection failure. they did not collect the right information. our intelligence analyst did not scrub there thinking enough to ask, what if saddam were actually not developing his weapons of mass destruction? so, again, this was an organizational problem. and so, there were a lot of reforms after iraq to improve that. so, dissenting views are now a lot more highlighted in national intelligence estimates. before they were relegated to footnotes. people were busy and they do not tend to read footnotes. so if you have this point of view it needs to be in

when japan attacks pearl harbor, killing 2300 with 1177 aboard the u.s.s. arizona. a lot of people don't realize this, but it wasn't until four days later that the axis powers declared war against the united states. that happened december 11th. it's a little known historical fact that even though the germans and japanese were allies, they didn't necessarily share all the information together. even though they knew the japanese would be attacking at some point, they didn't know when. just like us, they were caught a little bit unawares. we really need to look at this map to understand what kind of war the united states enters. it was a global war. it's amazing to see how the united states was able to project its military prowess in the far pacific and the far atlantic. it's astounding. it shows how battles for fought on the other side of the planet. it's the most complex event ever undertaken in the united states. again, we talked about the battle of the atlantic. take a good look at these shipping routes, because the germans knew very well where that war material wa

why right the case of 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's too fragmented. that's why we got the central intelligence agency nine eleven. same thing. we had 23 opportunities to penetrate that plot. it's research i've done and the cia and the fbi missed every single one in part because they couldn't share or coordinate with they were doing wmd is a little bit of a different story there. it was really a collection failure. we didn't collect the right information and an analysis failure, right? so our intelligence analyst didn't scrub, they're 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 now much more highlighted in national intelligence estimates before they were relegated to footnotes. well, you know people are busy and they don't tend to read footnotes. so if you have a dissenti

recalling the shock of pearl harbor and the bitter reality of the tobruk disaster before moving on, focus on their planning. the torch operation in french north africa. then the sicilian invasion, the moves into italy and normandy and finally onto their postwar war partnership, struggling against eisenhower calls the evil conspiracy centered in the kremlin. so i think this letter is perhaps very much what you would expect. it's a restatement of a personal, special relation ship. and, of course, as such, it echoes similar remark made by churchill about eisenhower on. the 9th of may 1945, the end of the war in europe. winston churchill wrote the following message to president truman, and he says, you can see this in the bottom paragraph of this telegram. let me tell you what general eisenhower has meant to us in. we have had a man who set the unit of the allied armies above all nationalistic, foolish in his headquarters, unity and strategy with the only reigning spirits the unity reached such a point. the british and american troops be mixed in the line of battle, and large masses could be
