True Story Of the Atomic Bombs

Bill Whittle digs into the archives and discovers an astonishing video from his “Afterburner” podcast, revealing the true story behind the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Many Americans held the view that the bombings were criminal acts because Japan was given no warming, the attack had no military value and the Japanese did not resist, and were in the process of surrendering.

Whittle said none of these positions stood up to the facts, including the warning issue, which is totally false. Whittle set the record straight when he dissected the historical and moral perspectives. The video was originally recorded in 2009.

How Society Became So Stupid

Political commentator Bill Whittle says we’re in the age of the 2-minute attention span, in the era of The Great Unlearning. This conclusion was amply demonstrated recently at one of Whittle’s favorite restaurants when he overheard a young man espousing the conspiracy theory that the moon landing was a fake. “We live in the age of The Great Unlearning, a time when more and more people simply walk away from the library of hard-won knowledge and achievement because they’re bored with it.” How did Americans become so stupid? Whittle explains in this edition of “Afterburner” on PJTV.

A Lesson in Humility

The usually exuberant Carolina Panthers’ quarterback Cam Newton understandably made a 180-degree turn in temperament following his team’s Super Bowl loss to the Denver Broncos. But following a pathetic performance at the post-game news conference, one in which he eventually walked out, where was the grace and humility of the supposedly mature professional. Newton’s actions brought back not-so-pleasant memories of a cantankerous youth for political commentator Bill Whittle. “Speaking for myself, life beat humility into me,” Whittle says. “And I had to go through a few decades of that beating before it really took.” Join Whittle in this edition of “Afterburner” on PJTV as he expounds on why humility is so vital to all of us.

Where is Everybody?

With 100 billion stars and millions of solar systems in our galaxy, where is everybody? Armed with ever-advanced technology through the last 40 years, scientists have scanned the heavens for intelligent life–or any life for that matter. And what have they found? Nothing. Silence. Many of our greatest minds have concluded that the answer to our unique planet may very well lie with its satellite–the moon. Bill Whittle explains further in this edition of “Afterburner” on PJTV.

Liberals Give Terrorists a Pass

The lamestream media, and progressives in general, are in lockstep when it comes to solving the Islamic terrorist problem on the planet. While these thugs tear a brutal swath through the Middle East, Europe and Africa, liberals believe retaliating against these murderers will only radicalize their moderate home base. Political commentator Bill Whittle begs to differ in this stirring edition of “Afterburner” on PJTV.

The Era Of Stupidity

Sorry to break the bad news to you, folks, but we’re in the era of stupidity, the dumbing down of America. Or as political commentator Bill Whittle succinctly puts it, “We are a nation of watchers, not doers.” We still have American citizens who believe that the moon landing was a hoax, although every conceivable misconception has been debunked. And we have those who are adamant that 9/11 was a U.S. conspiracy. “We live in the age of the great unlearning,” Whittle says. “A time where more and more people simply walk away from the library of hard-won knowledge and achievement because they’re bored with it.” Although Millenials shoulder a lot of the blame for the shift, the problem bridges several generations. Yes, including the Boomers. Whittle finishes his point and offers solutions in this edition of “Afterburner” on PJTV.

Democrat Lawlessness

The new incarnation of the Democrat Party is certainly a sight to see. They break the law, disgrace our Constitution and lie, lie, lie to the American public. And, of course, the Perpetrator in Chief is President Barack Hussein Obama, with the desperate damsel in constant distress, Hillary Rodham Clinton, not far behind. But despite their reign of government terror, they’re still media darlings. How, you ask, is this remotely possible? Clinton’s e-mail scandal is a case in point. Says political commentator Bill Whittle, “Hillary Clinton will either walk scot free for treasonous graft and criminal incompetence, or she will be indicted and lose the nomination solely on the personal whim of Barack Hussein Obama and the merits of the deal the Clintons can cut with his majesty in order to save her skin.” But Whittle doesn’t stop there. He further states his case in this edition of “Afterburner” on PJTV.

It’s All About Freedom

In the aftermath of another mass shooting in Oregon, political commentator Bill Whittle issues a tongue lashing to the father of the murderer and rebuts the cries from the deranged left for stricter gun control measures. “Liberals think that banning knives or guns or human-driven cars or big soda drinks will make America safe,” Whittle says. “But guess what, America wasn’t designed to be safe. America was designed to be free. You can have freedom without safety, or you can have safety without freedom.” Listen to the rest of Whittle’s argument in this passionate edition of “Afterburner” on PJTV.

Trumped by The Donald

Following the landslide victory by the GOP in the 2012 Congressional elections, political commentator Bill Whittle boldly predicted that the next president would come from the pop culture and not the political class. With the recent emergence of non-establishment candidates such as Donald Trump, Dr. Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina and Bernie Sanders, Whittle’s prognostication seems safe for now. But as the political process has evolved, Whittle finds himself with a surprising affection for Trump.

“I don’t think Donald Trump is a conservative … I don’t know what he is but there is one thing that he doesn’t seem to be and that is afraid,” Whittle says. “He doesn’t seem to be afraid of anything, especially the one thing that every other Republican is terrified of, namely Donald Trump doesn’t seem to give a damn what the news media, late-night comedians or hip-hop artists think about him.” Tune in to see what else Whittle so loves about The Donald in this edition of “Afterburner” on PJTV.
