know what i would say here is that what would have happened had the japanese attack not attacked pearl harbor when when we have gotten into the war, would we have gotten it in the war? and the answer probably? i don't know. yes. do you think i mean it's a guess, but i think that's a great question because without pearl harbor and, you know, we have continued to dither. we we might have had to do it, might happened. it's possible that we could have done what woodrow wilson done. it would become a war of choice because we're often the anti all the time, you know, first to iceland convoys of 40 convoys. but i think in roosevelt's mind, i really think he's a reluctant, belligerent. and in other questions. no. well, thank very, very much. for a reminder the proof professor work will be a signing books in the lobby and they're for sale in the museum. thank you for coming and travels thank you tom. all right. a navy patrol plane. routine patrol only behind every cloud may be an enemy. midway island, not much land right enough, but it's our outpost. your front yard yard. and. my nine. year of your li

well, the subject of pearl harbor. yes.was on my mind or your talking about all that was going on behind the scenes. yes. had it not been for her. pearl harbor was. it just so appalling in that that roosevelt had no choice. no. you had you ask a great question. what have what would have happened to. course, i can't know. and it's a couple of facts. one, i'm skeptical of counterfactuals. you always make them do what you want them to do. it's like the tyranny of the ellipse and quotations with the of the ellipse in quotations you become the puppet master. so with you know what i would say here is that what would have happened had the japanese attack not attacked pearl harbor when when we have gotten into the war, would we have gotten it in the war? and the answer probably? i don't know. yes. do you think i mean it's a guess, but i think that's a great question because without pearl harbor and, you know, we have continued to dither. we we might have had to do it, might happened. it's possible that we could have done what woodr

and the isolationist movement, in fact, would not disappear until pearl harbor and after pearl harbor. it was over. and first, america,. first disbanded. americans said, okay, now we're in war. in this war, we're going to have to proceed with it. but you, stimson and knox and the other republicans, ultimately willkie would join with this bipartisan alliance with fdr. there would be 18 months from the time of stimson and knox, his appointment until pearl harbor and throughout that time it was a protracted battle against isolationist ism. and the two key pieces of legislation, both of which were passed with republican support, thanks in large measure to stimson and knox, were the draft and then lend-lease passed and signed into in march of 1941. so nine months before pearl harbor, lend-lease would face a ferocious assault. and so one of my favorite, i found a number of political cartoon is that that bring this era to life and one of the most amazing cartoons is from the washington star on in early 1941 it shows stimson knox and wilkie in a trench outside the white house and in helmets a

brother, do you remember what the president roosevelt said after the jump in use the attack on pearl harbor? this was a day that will lead down and informed me what israel has done today is the self inflicted salt, all judicial pearl harbor. and the right claim for the legislation is probably the corruption cronies and incompetence protection act. because the 10th of the result is for all the nathaniel o cabinet ministers to do whatever they want to do. we snow to be show supervision. we snow with no one above them over moving or override, need any capricious decisions. and more than half of these rarely people will not spend for it. and therefore, what day you will just be posted quite correctly. i myself came back to the view from that very demonstration. where the phone there most of direct to me a father who used to be very close to nathaniel spoke very, very vehemently. it goes what that, that y'all has been doing through as well the democracy as the fullness shutout. and the idea of the leaders. and i know that on the appeal dispatch, there are several additional tests. one of them is

six times pearl harbor, because i have done that math. so it's four times the 6000. now that now it's not necessarily apples and apples apples because you're talking american casualties at, d-day and american casualties of pearl harbor. and, of course you know, we had the two sides in conflict. we combined those as american casualties for the civil war. but 6000 american casualties, 4000. so it's 3000 at pearl harbor. so, sure, i get that question a lot, too. so. all right. you guys been awesome. really appreciate it. kevin, great friend. invite me down.

but this has pearl harbor times, you know, time we compared it to pearl harbor. yeah, that's yeah, it really wasn't by the way, but we tried to do that. so everybody was going around looking for ghosts. we needed to kill everybody. and anybody who looked like a muslim or smelled like a muslim, we were going to take it by the way. i didn't mean that and, and it any offensive way or no, no, i know exactly what you but, but the whole thing was, you know, we're all doing this, this test for anybody who's so. so that was the environment that was going on at the time. and that led to sure what turned into our practices within our own military, m a. c i a, where you work with looking back on it. now we ask ourselves, what are we thinking, right? and that's what you were pointing out. so you can say that again. yeah, that's exactly what i was pointing out. there was one incident, it was the night that we captured, i was a beta who was the 1st high value target that we caught in pakistan. that night we caught dozens and dozens of all, they're all kind of fighters and we,

july 26, 1943, was was olay's pearl harbor. it was on that day, broiling, day in the middle of summer, in the middle of world war two. los angeles itself is doing well despite occasional fears that there's going to be some warfare here. a fix smog came in. i don't know from what direction, but it got so vicious and acrid that police officers directing traffic disappeared. window washers vanished. it was the beginning of having smog related automobile accidents. it was so bad mothers were dragging their children in the department stores to keep them from coughing. and a sort of hysteria built because we'd had smog before. there'd been ordinances. there had been commissions. there'd been outcries. but this one was different. and it w byproduct of having too many cars and too much combustion in a very high pressure weather system. we're just kind of parked over the area and stayed and it was so bad the politicians couldt ignore it and say, you know what? just give it time. the winds will blow. we'll tweak a few smokestacks and thi

she served in hawaii after pearl harbor teaching sailors reading and writing and working at the hospital decades later she still helps our soldiers doing needle work for patients at v. a apartment hospitals. we're honored now to be joined by pat rudd. hi, pat. thank you so much for being with us today. it's great to talk to you. >> thank you. >> so, pat, i want to put that picture back up because it's just darling, of you, as a teenager, wanting to get involved in what was going on in world war ii. tell me a little bit about how you pursued this driver of yours to be part of the effort to win world war ii. >> well, when i was in boot camp at hunter college, i left there and was signed to my service in d.c., and while i was there i would go out on my day off and go to visit everything that i could, and one day i was in the senate, i happened to be there the day they passed the bill for us to go overseas. and i was so excited, i went back straight to quarters and signed up for volunteering to go, and i was chosen, of one of them to be in the first 200 to go, and so that was a thrill, to be

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 brewing international crisis of world war ii. 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. he gives 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. we are going to play it. ♪ >> ♪ ♪ oh say can you see by the dawn's early light what so

but it wasn't until after pearl harbor that then the manhattan project was created and then a lot of resource is under the control of army corps of engineer was devoted to create this this new weapon. so leslie groves was appointed the head of the manhattan project, and he had just finished building the pentagon. groves talked to different physics and asked people who would be a good leader and oppenheimer probably was not high on the list, actually, oppenheimer had not even been charge of his physics department at berkeley. he was chosen to be the head of the central laboratory. but there was something about oppie that that groves? i think a couple of things groves saw that he was hungry. there were nobel prize winners were being considered, but they had already accomplished the nobel prize. groves wanted somebody who was hungrier and would would maybe work a little bit harder. and also on train trip across the country oppie was to describe to groves what was needed to be done in terms that groves and a layman could understand so so picked up. the other thing was where to locate the

the evacuation convoy is deemed southward toward the freeport of pusan at pearl harbor. their troops would rely on regroup and move back to engage the enemy. the military withdrawal by land was orderly as the rest of the eighth army pulled back once again across the 38th parallel. but for hundreds of thousands of civilians trying desperately to outrun the advancing communists, the journey southward was a nightmare of cold weariness and confusion. all people followed meant for oxen or carried their precious few belongings on their backs. children who had no part in the causes of war received a full measure of its hardships. just the same. on december 27th, general ridgway arrived to replace general walker, killed in a tragic jeep accident. he was just in time for the enemy's new year's eve offensive. once again, the un troops pulled out of seoul. going the hun river bridges behind them. incheon, like honan, was evacuated by sea due to winter rains, delivered nothing behind which the enemy could use to. in the south. the troops which had been taken off the beach at all non

/11, looking at the existential threat of the autocratic powers of world war ii in response to pearl harbornd genocide overseas. can we reunify in a way without a war of depression? it is a question my grandfather often asked on the open mind, the broadcast on pbs each week. do we have the spirit within ourselves to do that, or are we complacent and only motivated by the most extreme
