Scott Horton alleges US provoked Pearl Harbour, citing the McCollum memo

What was said

""America had a deliberate eight-point plan of how to provoke Japan into attacking us first uncovered by Robert Stinet in his book and published in his book Day of Deceit in 1999. It's called the McCollum memo.""

Scott Horton alleges US policy sought to provoke a Japanese first strike before Pearl Harbour, not that American “isolationism” led to the attack. He points to the so-called McCollum memo as discussed in Robert Stinnett’s 1999 book. The host adds that other guests have claimed British intelligence and President Roosevelt anticipated the attack.
