0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, here we go again. Los Angeles Times claims that

0:00:03.240 --> 0:00:06.360
<v Speaker 1>seventy five years ago, American leaders knew they didn't have

0:00:06.440 --> 0:00:10.200
<v Speaker 1>to drop atomic bombs on Japan to win World War Two,

0:00:10.280 --> 0:00:14.880
<v Speaker 1>but Evil America dropped the bombs anyway. Gar outpur Events

0:00:14.960 --> 0:00:18.680
<v Speaker 1>and Martin Sherwin, a couple of old leftist historians, say

0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:23.200
<v Speaker 1>that according to overwhelming evidence, Japan would have surrendered Evil

0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:26.240
<v Speaker 1>without being hit by a bombs and at President Truman

0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:29.360
<v Speaker 1>knew it. Now, both of these historians have made their

0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:33.680
<v Speaker 1>bones slamming America, and here they are ripping the idea

0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:37.239
<v Speaker 1>that the bombs were necessary to save American lives. But

0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:41.920
<v Speaker 1>leftist history revisionism does not change the facts. The opposition

0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:44.479
<v Speaker 1>that our military face and clearing the outer islands of

0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Japan and World War two was incredibly fierce. U S

0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:52.479
<v Speaker 1>Military planners calculated that an invasion of Japan could cost

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:57.000
<v Speaker 1>upward of million American military lives. We had the bomb,

0:00:57.200 --> 0:00:59.840
<v Speaker 1>and we used it. We saved lives, and after we

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:02.360
<v Speaker 1>dropped the first bomb, the Japanese still wouldn't surrender. You

0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 1>know what we did. We dropped the second one and

0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:09.759
<v Speaker 1>they finally gave up America. We were attacked by Japan.

0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:13.479
<v Speaker 1>We went to war, we won, but liberals never will.

0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:16.040
<v Speaker 1>They stop trying to pay to America as the worst

0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:20.039
<v Speaker 1>force for evil in the world. They hate this country,

0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:23.040
<v Speaker 1>they hate our history. They think we're the problem in

0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:25.840
<v Speaker 1>the world, when it is they who are
