Mark TakanoGUEST
I think there's going to be enough quote unquote, shame when creators and influencers hold each other accountable to certain standards.

Mark TakanoGUEST
And what the role of government is, is to be the fair referee, right? Did you violate or did you not violate? Okay, we're going to slap you with a fine.

Mark TakanoGUEST
I hesitate to actually mention names of these institutions, but they do put a lot of money into marketing.

Mark TakanoGUEST
Oh gosh, what was that called? It was not called the 10% rule, but what the law actually said was that at least 10% of your revenue had to come from non-federal sources.

ask, as a member of the education and workforce community, what reforms do you believe are necessary to make it so that not only veterans, but all students have equal opportunity to do this job market?

Mark TakanoGUEST
President, we cannot repeat what happened to Japanese Americans and my people." Um, so it is important that we review this history.

Mark TakanoGUEST
Um, I am disappointed that we have a Supreme Court that is highly deferential to executive power.

Mark TakanoGUEST
Uh, we can, we can hope, we can win, th- that these cases win their way, uh, through the courts and that they, that they finally overturn Korematsu.

Mark TakanoGUEST
Um, but more immediately, we can build a national support for a bill that I introduced along with my Japanese American colleagues, uh, in February as Trump took office, uh, the Korematsu Takai Civil Liberties Act.

Is there a way that Congress can reconnect to that moral clarity of that moment?

Mark TakanoGUEST
We've seen the same kind of lies being told about Latinos and other immigrants, fear being whipped up, national security being invoked as the premise for why people's civil liberties can be violated.

Mark TakanoGUEST
I do think there are more people who know the history, not enough people who know the history of Japanese American internment.

Mark TakanoGUEST
I was heartened in the first Trump administration to hear Laura Bush, the wife of George W. Bush, say what, you know, the separation policy, this reminds me of what happened to Japanese Americans.
