tell us about his actions at pearl harbor. is it even possible to point to a specific narrative and say it is definitely what happened? >> it is one of these things with history. we built it out of scraps. eventually, consensus emerges, whether the battle of hastings or pearl harbor. we are piecing together. so there is no definitive story, no agreed-upon narrative. so miller is below deck serving on the uss west virginia, a battleship station of pearl harbor. the japanese attack begins, west virginia is struck on multiple tornadoes -- torpedoes. a young officer spies miller, six foot tall, 200 pounds, the boxing champions of west virginia, and he says come with me, because he figures he will be useful. as far as i know, what happens was the captain of the west virginia, he had been mortally wounded and various sailors were attempting to do something for him. >> the national world war ii museum. we want to get that right. >> so what miller did, and this is sort of 10 minutes that changes a man's life. he gets on one of the mac

brothers in arms at pearl harbor? i know there is been a major debate, a controversy, about whether doris miller should have received the medal of honor. >> no black serviceman received a medal of honor during the war. when they came, those came in the late 90s after retroactive investigation of the various bigotry is and prejudices that have denied black serviceman medals of honor. he was not treated the same as his white counterparts. and there is no surprise in that really. there was a fellow called joseph lock heart who saw the planes coming and had issued a warning that we are in trouble. lock heart was very quickly advanced to a commission, returned home on a speaking tour whilst miller was still swapping the deck as it were. the pittsburgh korean in particular was incensed by this. there was a headline which said, hero gets commissioned, keeps mop. >> right in the corner, because all of inches, they barely mentioned him. he was not treated equally. there were huge campaigns at the naval academy which fell on de

don't let pearl harbor happen to you. to go ahead of tora, tora, tora, when you get to the 1990's, and there were the culture wars with japan over the business and car manufacturing, pearl harbor was happening on an economic level. >> an economic pearl harbor. i remember that rhetoric. >> it changes according to context. it is taking place through cinema. the meaning of pearl harbor during the war borders on racial hysteria. let's wipe out these japanese villains who will steal our women and destroy our country. by the 1950's, they are making all sorts of films about people who need to forget about pearl harbor and move on in the cold war. none of it really leaves room for doris miller to be entered into the story. doris miller doesn't appear on film in any kind of meaningful representation until tora, tora, tora, which is 1970. the film tries to be historically accurate to the point where it is extraordinarily dull. >> like real history. moving at a snail's pace in an indeterminate direction. any time a single character

so this is part of our pearl harbor commemoration. we have eight events in the museum on wednesday memorializing the u.s. personnel who died in the japanese attack on pearl harbor. we are never going to attack that. but the, day we're going to be focusing in on one particular individual whose path both to and from pearl harbor marks him is pretty unique. and to do that, we have our special friend from the university of maryland college park, robert chester, he's a senior lecturer in american studies. he is always great to have us another student of world war ii. also another rob. this will be interesting back and forth. thanks for joining us tonight. >> thanks for inviting me. it's a privilege. >> rob has been invited tonight because he is a expert on a particular individual. that individual is somebody that we talk about a lot at the national world war ii museum. he's a u.s. navy personnel who happen to take part in what was present in the bombing and his name is -- , as a leading expert on this individual, and also the ways that we

charles was at pearl harbor on the uss and divided on pearl harbor day. his battle station, and the searchlight position high up on the mast. can you imagine? he's watching pearl harbor happen high up on the mast of the uss nevada. uss nevada was sunk that day, but they raised it, they refurbished it. by iwo jima, it's their offshore providing naval gunfire support. just on monday, i open up a letter from charles, who's now 97 years old, and he wrote about what you're going to hear. he amazes me. >> the nevada was the flagship of the u.s. will jima invasion fleet. this means there would be an admiral aboard the nevada that will command the activities of the gunfire support warships. eight battleships, 12 aircraft carriers, 19 cruisers, 44 destroyers and 130 troop transport vessels and auxiliary ships. on february 16th, d date minus three, the nevada's main 14 inch counts provided gunfire to prove -- to destroy enemy shore batteries. 20 millimeter gun positions stood ready to repel any incoming aircraft missed by the five inch anti aircraft batteries. as t

he was at pearl harbor on the uss nevada on pearl harbor day. his battle station was -- and the search light position high up on the mast. so, can you imagine, he's watching pearl harbor happen high up on the mast of the uss nevada. the nevada got sunk that day, but they raised it. they refurbished it. by iwo jima, it's there offshore providing naval gunfire support. just on monday i opened up a letter from charles, who is now 97 years old, and he wrote about what you're just going to hear. and he amazes me. >> the uss nevada was the flagship of the iwo jima u.s. invasion fleet. this meant that there would be an admiral on board the nevada who would command the activities of the gunfire support warships, 8 battleships, 12 aircraft carriers, 19 cruisers, 44 destroyers and 130 troop transport vessels and auxiliary ships. the nevada's main 14 inch guns provided gunfire to destroy enemy shore batteries. we stood ready to repel any incoming enemy aircraft missed by the 5-inch aircraft batteries. as the nevada closed to within 5,000 yards, chief fired

but i couldn't stand pearl harbor. if for nothing else, the battleships looked like they were made of papier-mÂchÉ. i could go on and on. [laughter] >> i am not seeing any other questions. anybody? oh, here. if you average it out, how many hours of reading goes into your writing? mr. hogan: well, let me put it to you this way. i am currently doing a biography of omar bradley. i started it in october 2011. i made it about north africa and sicily. i have been writing chapters as i go along, but i have spent the last year and a half or so just researching north africa and sicily. there is so much that goes into it. probably the proportion is much greater for me in terms of research than it is writing. i write relatively fast. that, sometimes i think i pay the price, but i also come if you look at the proportion, i would say maybe 80%, 90% is research and organizing. >> ok, and we have a hand raised. gordon? you can ask your question. >> a comment, if anybody has used saving private ryan in the classroom? i know our syst

if you are talking about from pearl harbor, ok, now it is not 6200 miles. it is only 4000 miles and 17 days. this is a major hurdle. now you have to figure out -- you cannot just sail this huge fleet of hundreds of ships from pearl harbor to the west coast, to iwo jima. you have to have a staging area. the atoll is the place to do that. this is about 1000 miles south and west of the marianas islands. it is often the middle of nowhere. -- off in the middle of nowhere. here's the scale. look how small these islands are. it is basically just a coral reef with a few islands peeking through. when you get inside this coral reef, as you can see right here, hundreds and hundreds of ships, and that's where they had the major staging area. that's where they were able to do some major reconstruction and repair work on these ships. and huge supply depots. it is 1000 miles from okinawa and it would. the third, the fifth, the second fleet are there. the seventh was supporting macarthur. you are shipping everything across the ocean there, everything from bulldozers to q-t

what you see in this exhibition is one of our first responses to pearl harbor. that 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 ten inland camps. two thirds of those are citizens. and this speaks to national security fears once again. this is one of fdr's worst moments as president, issuing the executive order that allowed these citizens to be forcibly removed. and it is 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'm for catching every japanese 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 camps. the mainstream press, by contrast, life magazine calls a ca

cnn describes it as an insurrection, chuck schumer likened it to pearl harbor, it was our generations 9/11 and needless to say it was "white supremacy." to name a small example, the berkshire cool in massachusetts, a boarding school that costs $64,000 a year to attend a sent a letter describing what happened as "these acts of violence and racism." if you are a literal person tied to outdated western notions of linear thought and facts, that might confuse you -- racism? whatever you thought about what happened yesterday, what was racist about it? nothing of course, there was nothing racist about it, the berkshire school is lying, so was everyone else on the left, why are they doing that? simple. they know if they keep saying it, history will record it as true. they understand the power of language and that is why they try to control language. they know words have consequences. this is scary. in the face of it, the party that should be stepping in to stop it, to push back, tell the truth in the face of lies and to protect its voters from this deception and the destruction that inevitabl

harbor again, why are they saying that? obviously so they could get more power, but when people are terrified they generally trust their leaders and obey. the mayor of washington, d.c., who has done a really bad job of running the city does understand that principle, that's why she think the violence of the capitol building means washing to be should become. don't think about it says muriel bowser, just give her more power. >> first, we must get statehood on the president's desk within the first 100 days of the 117th congress. congress must immediately transfer command of the district of columbia national guard from the president of united states and put it squarely under the command and control of the mayor of the district of columbia. >> tucker: never let a crisis go to waste. tom cotton is a senator from the state of arkansas, we are happy to have them on tonight. two part question, can this be the pretext of the unconstitutional act of adding the worst one city in america to the flag? and can you stop it? >> good to be

one of them is on display in an exhibition on pearl harbor. it sits next to a crane made by a famous bombing victim exposed to the radiation and died at the age of 12. >> i was interested in what he was doing and who he was. i still believe he was a strong person. especially for his efforts. >> but the pandemic presented her classmates from making the trip. so they decided to emulate obama as a gesture of peace. they hope to spread the message by exchanging origami with studentings around the world. she was inspired by her grandfather. during world war ii he was interned as an enemy in a location camp because of his japanese heritage. he later joined the u.s. army and fought in the vietnam r. that caud post-traumatic stress disorder and he was harmed by a chemical called agent orange. >> at the end of his life four years ago, he was suffering from a lot of pain buzz of the symptoms from that event. so seeing how he lived and how he suffered made me wish for a more peaceful world so others wouldn't have to experience the same. >> she and her fr

washington has the capability, the pearl harbor naval shipyard is sticking out there and isolated more than it used to be. only two to replace is can handle a ship that works with nuclear power. if you need to refuel, those are the only two teary places that you could possibly go. we have seen that when a ship gets damaged, leading up to the battle as midway, there was a carrier that was severely damaged. they put it back out to sea, not fully prepared to take part. if it is damaged, you need to bring it back home be fixed. the uss mccain basically had problems that they ran into with other ships for one reason or another. those ships had to be placed on other ships. they had to be transported across the ocean to a place where they could be repaired. we do not own any of those ships. they were both scandinavian. we hired out a company to sail halfway around the world, pick up our damaged ships, and bring them back. because we could not repair them and a lot of places, they had to go to show places. they had to fit it into the production schedule. we were at the service of those to be o

this is not a pearl harbor/ 9/11 kind of response. i hope we'll get there. >> i do, too. i don't want to cast blame but i can help but to wonder we knew that the day will come when we would have the vaccine and it would need to be distributed across the country. why weren't the distribution networks already totally set? we've had nine months? >> that's a great question. i think it probably was a lot to ask to develop those plans nine months ago but two months ago when we knew that advantage seeps were looking really promising and in the beginning of november once we heard we had these unbelievably effective two vaccines, that's the moment that congress should have passed the $8 million to support vaccine distribution. unfortunately they just passed it ten days ago. we've been late to the dance all the way along. it doesn't surprise me much. think about the way we distributed testing and ppe. we have not had a good and strong federal response. we're seeing the fruits of that yet again. >> i want to get to more viewer questions. alex wants to know if a patient has had septi

the japanese began the war from the air at pearl harbor. they have been repaid many fold and the and is not yet. with this bomb we have now added a new and revolutionary increase in destruction. to supplement the growing power of our armed forces. in the present form these balms are now in production. and even more powerful forms are in development. this is an atomic bomb. it is a harnessing of the basic power of the universe. the first from which the sun draws its power has been loose against those who brought ward to the far east. i'm we are now prepared to destroy the more rapidly incompletely every productive enterprise the japanese have in any city. we shall destroy their docks, their factories and their communications let there be no mistake we shall completely destroyed japan's power to make war. it is despair the japanese people of utter destruction that the ultimatum of july the 26th was issued at pot stand. their leaders promptly rejected that ultimatum. if they do not now accept our terms, they may expect something from the air t

this will be a day, as franklin roosevelt said about pearl harbor, that will live in infamy. we remember december 7th, 1941, for that tragic bombing that brought us into world war ii. we think about december 2nd, 1962, the day john f. kennedy was assassinated, september 11th, the day al qaeda bombed washington and new york, this is something we will always remember. the good news is that we came out of those tragedies closer as a nation, realizing that something was wrong and that we had to unite. and my hope is that we will become closer as a result of this day which will live in infamy. >> and we are hearing talks about invoking the 25th amendment, americans want something accountability for the events that took place today. there are other options. there is impeachment talks being brought up by some lawmakers and there's censure. can you explain the differences? >> the 25th amendment of the constitution, which many are invoking right now was put into place in the 1960s. and one of the provisions is if the vice president and the majority of cabinet officers vote to get rid

the "uss tennessee" that will be at pearl harbor and refloated after pearl harbor and participate in great naval battles in the pacific. and then the battle cruiser "uss saratoga" which will get converted to an aircraft carrier. but they're paid for by the 1916 navy act. all right. a powerful new u.s. navy. great britain has ruled the seas without any real competitor for 115 years. so this is -- and the fact that it is the americans who the british have not always gotten along with that well, they fought two wars with the americans and then in the civil war they built blockade runners and raiders for the confederacy. so the united states and great britain don't have a great sort of attitude towards each other with respect to naval power. the british royal navy is very, very intimidated and fearful of this powerful u.s. navy. the british naval policy has always hinged on having the biggest navy, no other navy is allowed to be as big as the british navy, any other navy tries to build up to the size of the british navy, and the british will get involved in a naval arms race. the problem

when he was asked about it he referred back a lot to pearl harbor. and even though it wasn't tis intent, he saved a number of asian lives because of japanese occupation of asian countries. there is usually 400,000 japanese countries a month. they vended and they were no longer trusting them. so that is another seven lives that were saved by the invasion. >> did he visit japan? >> no, he visited numerous times, but truman did not visit japan, no. >> short answers. i like that. >> this i think it definitely the most questions we have ever answered in a program. >> a big topic and a big anniversary. >> what was the time line of decision making by president truman between the first and the second use of the atomic bomb? >> so there really wasn't a second decision. the way it was explained to me is that he authorized the military's use of the bomb. so they had a new wept and they were able to use it. once the reports came in of the amount of devastation, and things like that. they said for the future use of this they go back to the executive, to the presi

that morning, terrorists took nearly 3,000 lives in the worst attack on america since pearl harbor. i remember standing in the rubble of the world trade center three days later, surrounded by rescuers who had been working around the clock. i remember talking to brave souls who charged through smoke-filled corridors at the pentagon and to husbands and wives whose loved ones became heroes aboard flight 93. i remember arlene howard, who gave me her fallen son's police shield as a reminder of all that was lost. and i still carry his badge. as the years passed, most americans were able to return to life much as it had been before 9/11. but i never did. every morning, i received a briefing on the threats to our nation. i vowed to do everything in my power to save over the past seven years, a new department of homeland security has been created. the military, the intelligence community and the fbi have been transformed. our nation is equipped with new tools to monitor the terrorist'' movements, freeze their finances and break uptheir plots. and with strong allies at our side, we have taken

the sneak attack which the press dubbed the little pearl harbor shifted the complacency of the allied forces who had been convinced of their superiority in the area. all told, they had 17 allied ships and destroyed more than 31,000 tons of cargo more than 1,000 american and british servicemen were killed outright and almost as many wounded in the untold number of civilians. rumors abounded that officials were covering up an embarrassing incident and there was talk of a new german secret weapon a glide bomb. congressional concern over the debacle was underscored by eisenhower's announcement that he had asked the special committee to investigate. they told "time" magazine you are going to hear more about that before you hear less. it remains shrouded in mystery and in the crucial days that followed the task would be made even more difficult by wartime secrecy and the determined efforts to the american and british government to cover up the incident so as not to endanger preparations for the most important operation of the war, the allied invasion of german occupied france planned for th

once pearl harbor happened that was it. harold roth them onto one of his co-editors quote nothing feels funny anymore. >> many of the writers were on hand went off to war and found themselves as writers and artists. i think about a.j. liebling who was a local feature writer who went off and became a -- a one-off to report the war in north africa and the normandy invasion and the rest of it and there was a whole generation who made that trip. >> they had correspondents all over the world and many theaters of war. they had a deep relationship with the war department and their public relations operations. >> mckelway whose work i once edited was working for curtis lemay and npr throughout the whole war so he is a lynchpin for "the new yorker" operation. >> there's a lot of overlap like that. a handful of the correspondence and artists were in the armed forces and "the new yorker" ran a profile on military and sometimes the editors commissioned stories from military figures and sometimes in public relations to keep things cozy

in the 40s he refused to abide by an executive order following the japanese attack of pearl harbor that mandated all japanese-americans report to incarceration camps. he was arrested and fought his conviction all the way to the u.s. supreme court and won. but that vindication came 40 years later when a federal court overturned that conviction. his daughter is making sure her father's legacy lives on, especially during trying times like today. >> we need to remember that we could agree to disagree. but without violence. that's what my father represented. so, i think that's part of building our coalition and being purposeful and making sure that these conversations are front and center and the concerns can be uncomfortable. we have to get used to being uncomfortable. >> karen is the executive director of the non-profit based in san francisco. we're back in a moment. >>> snl is back tonight with an all new episode, actor john kra sin ski is hosting. you can watch here at 11:30 after news at # 1:00. >> finally tonight san francisco's newest wall mural depicts inauguration sensation amanda g

he was on the nevada at pearl harbor the day of the pearl harbor attack. he was about the youngest man in the crew at the time. he stayed with the ship as it got refurbished in bremerton, washington, then went to the alaska area, then it went through the panama canal and went over to support the landings at utah beach and in southern france. then came back to the pacific and was at iwo jima and now at okinawa and okinawa now they were attacked once again by japanese kamikazes. >> march 27 at dawn's early light, it was about 6:32 then. see, that's the best time to attack is in the morning. that morning there were three planes coming, approaching. two on the portside where i was and one on the starboard side head for the bow straight. they wanted to get the controlling center, knock that out. they could do it. so that plane was headed for the navigation bridge. now, see, i'm on the 20 millimeter. this one came in almost -- my friend, george peters, a marine, you couldn't be anywhere else, right smack in the bow in front of the anchor apparatus. that guy was

. >> during japanese attack on pearl harbor, u.s. navy mess attendant dorie miller helped those aboard the uss west virginia and fired guns at the attackers, though he had never been trained on the weapons. this grandson of slaves became the first african-american awarded a navy cross. next on american history tv, two scholars talk about dorie miller's story and explore how the memory of his heroics evolved over the years. the national museum in new orleans hosted this event and provided the video. >> i am in my study, and this is a clever simulation of one of our galleries, the iwo jima gallery. as all of our guests know, whenever anniversaries come up, we think deeply about just how we want to commemorate the various events of the calendar year. december is always a big time at the museum, because of the world war ii students know it is the anniversary of pearl harbor and of the largest battle ever fought in the history of the

this will be a day as franklin roosevelt said about pearl harbor that will live in infamy. we remember december 7th, 1941 for that tragic bombing that brought us into world war ii. we think about november 22nd, 1963 the day that john f. kennedy was assassinated. september 11th the day that al qaeda bombed washington and new york. this is something that we will always remember. the good news is that we came out of those tragedies closer as a nation realizing that something was wrong, and we had to unite. >> and we are hearing that there are talks about invoking the 25th amendment. at least americans wanting some kind of accountability for the events that took place today. there are other options. there's impeachment talks that are being brought up by some lawmakers, and there's also censure. can you explain the differences and what we might be able to see. >> there are big differences. the 25th amendment to the constitution, which many are invoking right now, was put in place in the 1960s and one of the provisions was if the vice president and majority of cabinet officers vo

it's hard to say when but before pearl harbor the early part of 41 i think he is a confirmed internationalist. - - shift or grow is totally interested and in the experience of the south pacific and 43 is important because it affirms for young jack kennedy that the united states has to play a leading role in world affairs. now with the us role should be and i think he comes back from the war affirmed in that believe but he also comes back skeptical i think the military instrument of the policy and you can see in his letters home which are interesting, a sense that military leadership is a contradiction of terms but he is skeptical of that and we can see if i can develop this so if it should be developed that you see it through the end of his life. >> it's interesting because he is a young officer but not someone that the war was abstract because he was out there obviously getting shot up because of all generation of officers became overconfident generals a vietnam who thought america had nothing to worry about because we thought the not see war machine the japanese war machine jack kennedy did

. >> you know, i have to say chuck schumer said he can quote pearl harbor, a day that will live in infamy. he said this day will also live in infamy. it's hard to make those comparisons. but if anyone can do it, it's you. how do you think we will look back on this day? >> this was a terrorist attack against congress, and the people of the united states and it was incited by the president of the united states. we have never seen that. we have had terrorist attacks, the british burned be london. there with us ft. sumpter, and 9/11. that is what we have never seen before in our history. >> thank you so much. we are seeing some of the images and just because we have seen them a few times now, it doesn't make them less extraordinary. >> it's shocking. >> it's shocking to see that's where the mt. and you have an if and the lawmaker says december grated the poir. >> there were snoim and once they got dpm and you see -- one person led away in land scuffs but once they got a more froo bust police fence, they were able to movie people out. >> obviously to that poirngts nbc fums and they have to be

harbor a cyber attack which it is never no one has given any attribution whatsoever it is like it when it went well during the debate you know joe biden said you know 50 foreign policy experts you know debunked all that and i mean how they didn't see any evidence they didn't receive any e-mails they didn't have access to a laptop here i mean so that the moment my point is and it can trump state or if it's actually as these days in public life do you think that this is a hoax will be continued and it could it motivate and influence of biden foreign policy reason be russia will it i think sure the short answer is yes but i think it also depends on his particular rule and if you are already seen that is something to do with that you know boosting some of candidates that he lacks force in plazas in nato and that in their runs were congress that's i think obviously is one area where the things he does you're talking about may be exploited if he's to start kind of his own media something that is also discussed in and kind of do this a lot of this information warfare on his opponents and both
