We're going to get to Captain Finnell.

It's going to walk us through the details of exactly where we are and what does this all mean.

But I want to play again.

Real quickly, let's play Mark Levin laying the legal framework for the use of tactical nuclear weapons.

Let's go and play it.

I have in front of me, though, you know, the Potsdam Declaration, July 1945.

I wasn't even going to mention this, but I have it.

And then we have the instrument of surrender by the Japanese, September 2nd, 1945.

And in order to implement the Potsdam Declaration and get them to surrender to the terms that the Allies wanted, we dropped two atomic bombs.

Now, I'm not encouraging it.

I'm asking you about the law.

Is that legal today under the law of the war or not?

So I take that as a possible yes.

I'm not encouraging it.

You know, the left goes crazy and they try to put words in our mouths.

I'm just trying to get the law nailed down here.

I think it would be very helpful to go back and read the terms of surrender for the Japanese, for our envoys to read it, because the Japanese were dug in, even after the dropping of two atomic bombs.

And it took a lot of pressure, even after that, to get them to surrender.

I'm not encouraging this.

I want you to know, I'm not encouraging this, but I do believe you ought to read pot, go back to the pot stamp conference and read the accord and then read the terms of surrender in September 45 that we got finally got the Japanese to sign on the deck of the USS Missouri.
