And here is the biggest fear among Americans. Public speaking, 40% for zero, are terrified of getting up there and saying stuff. Now, this fear has a lot to do with scorn and rejection, screwing up in public, having people not like you because of something you say or because you don't say it well. Now, I understand it.

Now, the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. 33 years ago today, President Ronald Reagan signed the Civil Liberties Act of 1988. That bill authorized reparations to Japanese and Americans who were in turn during the Second World War. Here's what happened. Following the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, American newspapers ran a series of articles promoting the isolation detention and incarceration of Japanese-born American citizens. The press was after them.

One reporter said, quote, are Japanese Americans, our citizens by the accident of earth. But they are Japanese, nevertheless, a viper is nonetheless a viper wherever the egg is hatched. Wow. Did they say that about German Americans? No, they did not. Anyway, the media frenzy surrounding a possible invasion of the West Coast by the forces of Imperial Japan, led to the forced relocation of 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry in camps across the American West. At its height, the U.S. government held citizens against their will at 40 sites in 10 states. President Roosevelt authorized Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942, which allowed army commanders to designate military areas from which any or all persons may be

excluded. So that said, if the army didn't want any Japanese Americans in California, for example, they were taken out. The state defined anyone with one 16th or more of Japanese lineage as sufficient to be removed. On December 18th, 1944, the Supreme Court ruled that citizens of the United States, regardless of lineage, could not be detained without due process. Then the Roosevelt administration issued public proclamation number 21, rescinding the original order. President Reagan was the first to authorize payments to the survivors of the internment camps, More than 100,000 people got nearly $2 billion from the federal government. Back after this.
