it was a war that changed america. doris was the first black american to be awarded the navy cross, but he would not be the last. he joined a brotherhood of heroes, unfortunately, the rest of the film takes us on a trip with ben affleck and josh hartnett, maybe not ben affleck, but the rest of the white heroes get the film and doris disappeared with his medal, never to be heard from again. i'm not saying for a second that what doris miller did wasn't important, because it was. but what i am saying is that the story of the mess man, the machine gun, and the medal abridges, sanitizes, makes comfortable and palatable and much more complex history. doris need not go back below decks and die on the bay in november 1943. his mother, henrietta, need not live out her days in bitterness at the treatment her family received after her son's heroic acts. civil rights activists need not continue the struggle for integration in the military and the rest of society beyond the end of the war, because after all, all that was corrected.

i can't hold it together when i think about the fact that america got its first woman president in that context. >> ayman. >> i don't even know where to begin but i was going to say, for me, i'm thinking back to january 6th. that has to be the narrative that has come out of there and the way it has been perpetuated throughout this past year, i've been investigating it and i'm telling you, that lie is spreading more and more and the threat it's posing to our democracy with people believing absolutely insane conspiracy theories is just -- it's scary, and i think if we were talking about any other group in the world that had to deal with this kind of radicalization as an ideology, it would be alarming. >> even though serious, it is ridiculous at the same time, makes the ridicu-list. >> just for a fun story, i thought it was pretty funny all of the people that president obama had to disinvite from his birthday party. i'm sure you made the cut still because you're pretty cool, but a lot of really famous, important people just, you know, they didn't quite get to go to the birthday party of th
