Discover the powerful story behind the phrase "Go For Broke" and how it became the rallying cry for the brave 100th/442nd Regimental Combat Team. These soldiers, who faced fierce battles abroad and prejudice at home, became the most decorated unit of their size in U.S. military history. Dr. Maki shares his lifelong passion for preserving their stories, driven by his own childhood experiences in Los Angeles.We journey through America's past mistakes, examining the internment of Japanese Americans and its painful legacy. Reflecting on the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, we discuss how acknowledging these injustices can inform our approach to contemporary issues of race and political leadership. There's a yearning for the bipartisan cooperation once exemplified by leaders like Tip O'Neill and Ronald Reagan, and we explore how their spirit of unity can guide us in today's polarized world. By learning from history, we aim to foster a more cohesive society.This episode also highlights the innovative ways the Go For Broke organization inspires civic engagement among young Americans. Through storytelling initiatives like the Torchbearers program and the Go For Broke Journalism Institute, students connect historical events with modern-day issues, cultivating pride and a commitment to positive change. From fashion collaborations to journalism projects, we showcase the transformative power of these narratives in nurturing a deeper understanding of loyalty, sacrifice, and civic duty across generations.

On today's show we open with how the government and the Left is trying to paint the jobs report in the best way possible, yet they have to overlook all of the problems. In fact, nearly every subject today runs the gamut between best and worst case scenarios. While I never said, for a fact, that President Biden pooped in his pants, how sad is it that the worst case scenario here is that he really did poop in his pants in front of the world, while the best case is his wife dragged him off the stage as fast as possible, leaving a foreign president to have to shake hands with American WWII vets in attendance. In the state of Arizona, Gov. Katie Hobbs may have gotten herself in a little trouble. Apparently, Arizona's Democrat AG Kris Mayes, is launching a criminal investigation into the governor for bribery and fraud. The current J6 Subcommittee investigation now move to the Big Fani Willis RICO case in Georgia. Apparently they have reason to believe the Fulton County DA's office was also in touch with star witness Cassidy Hutchinson. By the way, I forgot to mention earlier in the week that the appeals court has agreed to hear the disqualification review and they scheduled it for October. That means there is no chance whatsoever of the Big Fani RICO case being heard and decided before the November election. Seems the Tennessee trans terrorist finally had more pages of her manifesto released. And, as we all surmised in the New Media, her mental health crisis was fueled by the Transgenderism movement. We also learned that she used tax-payer provided funds from a Pell Grant to purchase the weapons she used to kill three 9-year-olds and three adults at a Christian school. Dr. Phil had an interview with Donald Trump and the concept of “retribution” and “vengeance” came up and some did not agree when Trump told Dr. Phil he would be okay not seeking such things. I heard it in a slightly different way and believe that Trump still plans to follow the “rule of law.” I don't think that means letting the criminals get away with what they have done. Think the Biden E.O. for the border is actually doing anything? Think again. A report from the border shows there is no difference in the migrant crossings nor how Border Patrol is allowing them all to come inside. White, female, elitist, Chelsea Handler, reveals her bigoted racism by saying she had to remind the rapper 50 Cent that he was black and that he was not allowed to vote for Trump. Don't you just love the white saviors in the Democrat party? I take a moment to reflect again on the name of the “Right to Contraception Act” and how it was always designed to be a campaign tactic, and not a real bill. I really hope one day we can get to single issue bills being brought to the floor for votes. Let's start to close with climate change and a look back to a news report from 1982 and how it relates to Jill Biden flying 7,000 miles round trip with nary a peep from the climate alarmist crowd. The scam has been going on my whole life, yet people still keep buying it. Finally, in a moment of levity, someone has created a “documentary” style voice over narration to go with Joe Biden's squatting on stage yesterday. It's a little bit of comedy to send us off into the weekend. Take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

In this powerful episode, we dive into the pages of "American Grit," a book authored by John Suzuki that unravels the harrowing history of Japanese concentration camps in the US after Pearl Harbor. John sheds light on the challenges faced by Japanese American men who, despite facing injustices, volunteered to serve in the US military during WWII with unwavering honor and bravery. We hear about their acts of heroism that shaped the course of history. Moreover, John delves into the difficulties that Japanese American soldiers and their families encountered after the war and how their experiences highlight the importance of safeguarding civil liberties and ensuring equal rights for all citizens. Drawing lessons from history, John passionately advocates for preventing such injustices from recurring and creating a more compassionate society. Join us as we explore the resilience and valor of Japanese American veterans and their enduring impact on American history.

On May 25, 2023, author Preston Smith gave a fascinating lecture about his father's service as the last U.S. pilot accepted into the ranks of the RAF during World War II. In a voice both timeless and distinctly greatest generational, Richmonder Parke F. Smith wrote about being the last U.S. pilot accepted into the ranks of the RAF through their training exchange program at War Eagle Field, Los Angeles. After completing their course, he sailed to England on board the HMS Queen Elizabeth, swore allegiance to the king, and was offered a coveted spot training as a fighter pilot. From 1942 to 1946, Smith flew 129 missions in North Africa, Italy, and over the North Sea, before returning home. Amazingly—blessedly—he made it home, unlike so many of his friends and comrades. It is to them he dedicated his writing. But war stories are only the half of it. Smith writes of human connection and camaraderie formed in war's trenches, revealing enduring truths through anecdotes made even more humorous from his perspective as a total outsider. Preston Smith offers an insider's view into his father's unique military service, telling a story about finding home—no matter how foreign—and fighting for it with all you've got. Parke's son, Preston Smith, collected these writings, some discovered on old “floppy” disks, some in notebooks, and some in previously published volumes, bringing them to life as the 2020 book, Spitfire: An American WWII Fighter Pilot in the RAF. Virginians will remember the Smith family flying aerobatics for Barnstormers Airshows at King's Dominion amusement park in Ashland, with Parke piloting a bi-plane, sons Jimmie and Preston manning the hot air balloon ascensions and assisting sky divers, and their mom knitting in the car.

Welcome back for Episode #9 of the Last Call Trivia Podcast! We start things off with a round of general knowledge Trivia to get the wheels turning. Then we keep things casual with a themed round of Nicknames Trivia.Round OneRound One of today's game kicks off with an Animals Trivia question about the beloved aquatic, oviparous reptiles -- turtles! Hey turtle lovers, did you know that the Disney Conservation Team “employs” a pocket beagle named Captain Ron who helps protect sea turtles? Next up, a Literature Trivia question proves to be an easy feat for our Trivia Team to conquer as they breeze through with their knowledge of Don Quixote. Round One wraps up with a Technology Trivia question that covers the origins of a product that many people now consider to be an essential part of everyday life. Spoiler alert: just look at how far we've come since the GS88 “Penelope”!Bonus QuestionWho's ready for a curveball? Today's Bonus Question doesn't refer back to a question from Round One, so consider this a chance to start fresh if you struggled with any of the answers so far. It's all about physical feats here, namely the record for the most pull-ups completed in a 24-hour period. This is a particularly impressive title to hold because as the Trivia Team points out, a pull-up is a difficult exercise that engages a ton of muscle groups.Round TwoRound Two of today's show is all about Nicknames Trivia. So settle in and get comfortable, because we'll be on a nickname basis soon!Round Two starts with a History Trivia question about an American WWII general who not only had a nickname of his own, but also had a mother nicknamed “Pinky.” That's two nicknames for the price of one, folks!Next, in another twofer, a Common Bonds Trivia question asks our Trivia Team to identify the nickname shared by Lou Gehrig and a form of transportation in early Victorian culture. While Lou Gehrig is so widely known that many people are even familiar with his nickname, current baseball stars don't get nearly the same name recognition as leading players from other sports. A recent survey found that while 91% of Americans had heard of LeBron James and 88% had heard of Tom Brady, just 43% had heard of Mike Trout.Round Two wraps up with a Flags Trivia question. Do you know which U.S. state flag features a silver star in reference to the state's nickname, along with the motto “Battle Born”? If so, the Trivia Team could definitely use your help with this one!Final QuestionNow it's time for the multi-part Final Question to close out the game. The category for today's Final is Countries. We do love ourselves a little Trivia world tour!In today's Final Question, the Trivia Team is given four different countries and asked to name their capital cities, each of which starts with the letter “C.” As you're stewing over your knowledge of world capitals, have you ever wondered how countries actually choose their capital cities? It turns out, there are several important factors that can help identify a city as a solid candidate for the capital.

In this episode, we talk to retired general major Antonio Taguba. He is chairman of the Filipino Veterans Recognition and Education Project (FilVetREP), whose mission is to obtain national recognition of Filipino and American WWII soldiers across the United States and the Philippines for their wartime service to the U.S. and the Philippines from July 26, 1941 to December 31, 1946. We discuss duty and debt to country along with how to pay those debts forward.  We also explore what it means to be indebted to our families and dealing with those who are culturally bankrupt.

A forgotten piece of history is discussed. Japanese Americans fought proudly in WWII even though their country interned Japanese American citizens. Shane Sato, a professional photographer from LA, has spent two decades capturing portraits of over 200 such men and one woman veteran.  The stoic pride shines in these portraits. This work is something the Japanese American community is proud of and which the larger US community should know about.  Sato discusses with host Jim Fausone the "Go For Broke Spirit" of these men, the resulting two books and lessons learned.

In this week's episode of Armchair Apocrypha, Andrew tells the tale of Virginia Hall, the American WWII spy dubbed "The Limping Lady." After, Rachael delves into the history and meaning of the zodiac.

A New Song Every Day For 10 Years (0:45)Guest: Jonathan Mann, Musician and SongwriterFor more than 10 years, Jonathan Mann has written a new song every day. Every single day. Originally this was just going to be a one-month. It was just a whim. But after he wrote a new song every day in the month of January 2009, he just wasn't finished. So, he kept going. Thousands of songs later, he's still going. Along the way he's learned a lot about the process of creativity. Why the West is Obsessed with WWII (22:40)Guest: Keith Lowe, WWII Historian, Author of “The Fear and the Freedom: How the Second World War Changed Us”Of all the conflicts America has been involved in, World War II seems to get the most attention from authors, academics, politicians and Hollywood. “The Greatest Generation” as American WWII veterans are known, is quickly shrinking as the 75 anniversary of the end of World War II approaches. What is it about that war and those veterans that captures the imagination and stokes such admiration? Biologist Pamela Weathers Has Discovered a New, Cost-Efficient Cure for Malaria (36:32)Guest: Pamela Weathers, Professor of Biology and Biotechnology, Worcester Polytechnic InstituteEfforts to fight malaria have stalled out in recent years, according to the World Health Organization, and one of the reasons is drug resistance. The parasite that causes malaria is developing defenses against the best medicines currently available to treat the illness. The expense of those medicines is another challenge facing the global malaria response. Both of the cost and drug resistant problems might be solved by a plant.  Biologist Pamela Weathers has found evidence that drying and grinding the leaves of a certain plant may treat malaria better than current drugs.  The Chinese Workers Who Built America's Railroad (49:09)Guest: Gordon H. Chang, Professor of American History, Stanford University, Author of “Ghosts of Gold Mountain: The Epic Story of the Chinese Who Built the Transcontinental Railroad”The Transcontinental railroad was a triumph of American grit and ingenuity when it was completed 150 years ago. But the work was done largely by immigrant workers –and the most technically difficult stretches of rail through the Sierra Nevada mountains were laid by workers from China. Those workers, however, were almost invisible at the grand Golden Spike ceremony commemorating the railroad's completion in 1869.  Adventures of a Theme Park Journalist (1:09:47)Guest: Robert Niles, Editor of ThemeParkInsider.com and Contributing Columnist for the Orange County RegisterTheme parks can be magical with that thrill of anticipation when you're about to drop on a rollercoaster, spending time with family, and, of course, the nostalgia. But theme parks can also be a nightmare with the hordes of people, crying children, and overpriced food. New Research May Allow Diagnosis of CTE in Living People (1:21:54)Guest: Robert Stern, Co-Founder and Director of Clinical Research, Boston University CTE CenterRepeated head trauma ranging from full-blown concussions to the constant rattling of the brain inside the skull that can happen during impact sports, is believed to be the culprit in a disease called Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy–or CTE. It was first diagnosed in a former NFL player 17 years ago and over 100 athletes, military veterans and victims of abuse have been diagnosed with it since. But the problem is, doctors can only diagnose CTE by cutting open a person's brain after they've died. 

Introduction Hard core activists want attention, applause from sympathizers, the ability to claim the moral high ground through a bullhorn, and a place in society that grants them a type of street gang respect. And all this without the inconvenience and anonymity of having to support themselves with, well, a real job. The last thing they want to do is actually solve the problems they are pretending to address. That is the subject of today’s 10-minute blog/podcast. Continuing We live in a unique and exceptional country; part of the equally unique and exceptional role that we play in the US is to understand who is actually trying to solve problems, as opposed to the people who prop up the problems to their advantage.  Almost everywhere you look, things are getting better and better in our country, America. And the activists are getting louder, angrier and more physical. They are feeding the fires of racism, sexism, and you-name-it phobia in order to advance their own interests. The last thing they can stand is to solve the problem, and for the protested issue, their reason for living, to go away. That explains why as problems become smaller and more contained, activists are more vigorously beating the drums, shouting and pushing in the streets, and working a pliant media to make the problem appear larger and more menacing than ever.  Pause for definitions. I am not talking about people who volunteer, who run, contribute to and work for non-profits. And the many others who quietly go about the business of actually making things better. They are my heroes. Charges of racism are much in the news, more to hurl lethal accusations than to expose a real problem and fix it. “Checkmate” is the last thing that a winner might say in a chess game, indicating that his opponent has lost. The term “Racist” is now being used in the same way. Calling someone  a racist and having it stick is the political equivalent of Checkmate. Your opponent is now out of the game.  Specifically, let’s talk about race activists e.g., Black Lives Matter (BLM). Their anger at the murders of innocent young black men until recently focused exclusively on their claims about racism causing deaths of black men at the hands of white cops. When they found that in some cases it was black officers shooting black citizens, their color criticism changed from “white” to “blue.” In other words, they pivoted from racist cops being the issue to police in general being the problem. But their activism continues to  ignore the 95+% of black deaths that are not caused by police. We’ll ignore for now the argument that the vast majority of that 5% are completely justified. We don’t need to make that case to make our point here. I am deeply suspicious of BLM’s motives, and you should be, too. If they want to stop the murdering of blacks, why ignore 95% of where the murders are committed? Let’s look at an obvious parallel. Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) strikes predominantly African-Americans, with about 8% of the African-American population carrying the sickle cell trait. If an organization raised, say, $100M, to find a cure and spent 95% of its funds looking for causes for SCD outside of the African-American population, would you say they were dedicated to finding a cure? Or might they have another agenda? What might BLM’s real agenda be given that they ignore where 95% of the murders of black men occur? They simply want an excuse to attack and marginalize our law enforcement agencies, and will continue to do exactly that as long as anybody will pay attention to them.  All lives matter, and that statement does not in any way imply that some lives are worth more than others. It takes a twisted view of the world to claim that all lives matter means that black, brown or Asian lives somehow matter less.  Pause for a question. When did Asians and Indians cease to be people of color?  Here’s a representative piece of American WWII,
