06:31Oh, my God, I'll play with me, and we'll always see you in a petal tree.
06:38Look down my window, I got my cue, Mickey, and we'll be always there.
06:45I'm a man.
06:47Oh, sorry, Mason, and later, who has it?
06:53Oh, sorry, Mason, and now we play with you.
06:57I cannot play with you, and I'll eat every time.
07:02We're leaving with the room.
07:04We've got to leave you.
07:06We've got to go with you.
07:08We've got to go with you, and we'll be going forward forever now.
07:13We've got to go with you.

07:35We've got to go with you.
07:40Well, well, you're a telegram sign, John Smith, and you want to say, what's between your
08:02favorite part of Melody R. Hmm, well, Miss Bonnebaker with the user in the background, and the sign, Baby to sleep.

09:02We interrupt this program to bring you a special news bulletin.
09:20The Japanese have attacked Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, by air, President Roosevelt has just announced.
09:25The attack also was made on all naval and military activities on the principal island of Ohau.
09:32We take you now to Washington.
09:35The details are not available. They will be in a few minutes.
09:39The White House is now giving out a statement.
09:42The attack apparently was made on all naval and military activities on the principal island of Ohau.
09:51The President's brief statement was read to reporters by Stephen Early, the President's secretary.
09:57A Japanese attack upon Pearl Harbor naturally would mean war.
10:03Such an attack would naturally bring a counterattack.
10:06And hostilities of this kind would naturally mean that the President would ask Congress for a declaration of war.
10:12From the President's office that a second air attack has been reported on Army and Navy bases in Manila.
10:22Thus, we have official announcements from the White House that Japanese airplanes have attacked Pearl Harbor in Hawaii
10:30and have now attacked Army and Navy bases in Manila.
10:36We return you now to New York and will give you later information as it comes along from the White House.
10:43We return you now to New York.
10:44When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, our West Coast became a potential combat zone.
10:51Living in that zone were more than 100,000 persons of Japanese ancestors, two-thirds of them American citizens, one-third aliens.
11:01We knew that some among them were potentially dangerous.
11:05But no one knew what would happen among this concentrated population if Japanese forces should try to invade our shores.
11:13Military authorities therefore determined that all of them, citizens and aliens alike, would have to move.
11:19The bombings of Tokyo were a series of air raids on Japan by the United States Army Air Forces,
11:29primarily launched during the closing campaigns of the Pacific Theater of World War II, 1944-1945,
11:37prior to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
11:42The strikes conducted by the U.S. AAF on the night of March 9th through 10th, 1945,
12:08codenamed Operation Meeting House,
12:12constitute the single most destructive aerial bombing raid in human history.
12:1816 square miles of central Tokyo was destroyed,
12:23leaving an estimated 100,000 civilians dead and over 1 million homeless.
12:29By comparison, the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in August 1945 resulted in the immediate death of an estimated 70,000 to 150,000 people.
12:42The U.S. mounted the Doolittle Raid, a small-scale air raid on Tokyo by carrier-based long-range bombers in April 1942.
12:51However, strategic bombing and urban area bombing of Japan only began at scale in 1944 after the long-range B-29 Super Fortress bomber entered service.
13:05Super Forts were first deployed from Chugoku and thereafter from the Marina Chateau after they were seized from Nihongo forces in mid-1944.
13:17B-29 raids from the Marina began on November 17th, 1944, and lasted until August 15th, 1945, the day of the Nihongo surrender.
13:34Over half of Tokyo's industry was spread out among residential and commercial neighborhoods.
13:42Firebombing cut the city's industrial output in half.
13:47Some modern post-war analysts have called the raids a war crime due to the mass targeting of civilian infrastructure
13:54and ensuing large-scale loss of civilian life.
13:58Oiza over half of Tokyo to 100,000 people.
14:02The Netherlands as today as time is required to get more
14:17If we come in the little city, O-I will come as large as possible.
14:23๋ณด์๋ฉด after the French bars
14:28How do you feel about it? Do you think we're going to win?
14:34Well, I'll be called into this draft pretty soon.
14:37I'm eligible. I'm in a one-way classification, and it hit me pretty bad.
14:41I was expecting something to happen, but when it did come along,
14:45well, it does surprise me, and expect it so soon.
14:47Could you speak for us? We're not going to play this on the air.
14:50We want a record in the Library of Congress. What's your name, please?
14:53Oh, Arnold Pernetka.
14:54How did you feel when you first heard the news of the Japanese attack?
14:58Well, I was surprised that it was so sudden.
15:00Are you eligible for the draft, too?
15:03Yes, I'm in the July draft, but I expect to be called any week now.
15:06Are you the lady friend?
15:08No.
15:09He's my friend, though.
15:11What is your name?
15:12Dorothy Cotner.
15:13How did you feel when you first heard the news?
15:16Well, it really surprised me. I thought, sure, it would be Germany.
15:20They have signed. I mean, there is war, isn't it?
15:22That's right. It sure is.
15:25It was at 12.30 today.
15:26Well, I think that's about the only way out.
15:29How do you feel about this thing?
15:32Well, I'll tell you, I didn't want us to go to war.
15:34I mean, like everyone else would like to keep out of it,
15:37but now that we're in there, I hope we go to work on them
15:39and really give them something that they'll be sorry for.
15:42Is there anybody else that would say a word for us?
15:44Well, how did you feel when you first heard the news of the war?
15:48Well, I couldn't say anything. I didn't know what to say or think.
15:52I didn't think it was coming on so soon, but I guess we all had a feeling it would be on.
15:56How do you feel now that it has begun? How do you feel it's going to go on?
16:00Well, I hope we beat the hell out of them.
16:02That is right.
16:05How about if Italy and Germany join?
16:07Well, I think that our airport is strong enough to beat them all.
16:11How about that, the opinion on that? Are we going to win this war?
16:13We have to win this war.
16:15Has the feeling of the people changed a lot?
16:18Have you noticed the people you meet on the street?
16:20Yes, they have.
16:21Those who were against war are now for it.
16:26The everyday isolation has changed to an everyday defeatist of Hitler,
16:30defeatist of Nazism, or any Azism outside of America.
16:34All right, sir. Thank you very much. Thank you all.
16:38What do you think of the Japs, the Japanese people?
16:41Well, I...
16:42Do you hate them?
16:43No, I don't hate them.
16:44There must be a good many people in Japan
16:46who don't believe and don't support this war.
16:49Do you think they are racially treacherous?
16:53Well, no.
16:55There's no place for compromise.
16:58Frankly, my view is, and I include the Hun,
17:02or the German so-called,
17:04in what I have to say about the Japanese.
17:06That is, we ought to exterminate both of them.
17:11There's no place for either of those races in the world today.
17:14We pin up all the Japanese in this country,
17:17so they came to us in the period.
17:19Not just through the duration of the war,
17:22but all of them we get is we just pin them up and keep them.
17:25See, we can never give anybody else their service.
17:26From Berlin, and Tokyo, and Rome,
17:30we have been described as a nation of weaklings, playboys,
17:35who would hire British soldiers or Russian soldiers or Chinese soldiers
17:43to do our fighting for us.
17:46Let them repeat that now.
17:49Let them tell that to General MacArthur and his men.
17:54Let them tell that to the sailors who today are hitting hard
18:00in the far waters of the Pacific.
18:04Let them tell that to the boys in the flying fortresses.
18:09The first American air attack on Tokyo was the Doolittle Raid.
18:14On April 18, 1942,
18:1716 B-25 Mitchells, modified for carrier operations,
18:22were launched from USS Hornet,
18:25after which they bombed Yokohama and Tokyo
18:28and flew onto airfields in Chiugoku.
18:30The raid was largely symbolic,
18:34carried out in retaliation for the Nihongo attack on Pearl Harbor
18:38five months earlier.
18:41The raid caused minimal damage to Nihon's warfighting capability,
18:45but was a significant propaganda victory for the United States.
18:50The bombers took off at longer range than planned
18:53when the Hornet's task force encountered a Nihongo picket boat,
18:58resulting in all of the attacking aircraft
19:00either crashing or being ditched by their crews
19:04short of their designated landing sites.
19:08One bomber landed in the neutral Soviet Union
19:11and its crew was interned,
19:13but then smuggled over the border into Iran on May 11, 1943.
19:20Two crews were captured by the Nihongo and occupied Chiugoku.
19:25Three captured crewmen were later executed by Japanese troops.
