I enjoyed the time around the radio with the family, gun smoke, loneranger and the whistler . Mom would make popcorn and we would sit around and be excited or scared to death, easter, thanksgiving and christmas we would all go to grandmas house for dinner with all the cousins aunts and uncles, I miss those days and gathering we had. Now life goes by so fast and family seems to be forgotten, if you can get your families together do it before its to late, you wont be sorry I promise, its to late for me but you can still do it and again I promise you wont be sorry
I'm honestly really glad these have been uploaded here. While I was looking for the fireside chat following the Doolittle Raid, I found this and got hooked
My dad was in WWII I remember him not really wanting to talk about it much. I was a teen by the time I would finially learn more.He was a real President.
We need this type of leadership now!!!!! Not a President who lies to the American people!!!!!!! Vote like your life and our democracy depends on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Leadership like FDR gave this country was a once in a lifetime chance; we’ll never see it again, and as someone whose got to watch the country torn apart by two bumbling idiots; one with a half mad sense of morality and no brain behind it; and the other side with a completely mad bully puffed up on a house of fraud and ill willed self interest; it’s only comforting that as I grow up; the need for the leadership Roosevelt gave can always only somewhat be supplemented with the reminder of the great nation I live in will not waver no matter whose at the helm; and that our people can always look to each other to guide this experiment to its ultimate perpetual future-no matter who we elect
My grandmother told me how scared she and her family were when they learned about the attack. Her father seemed angry about it. He actually worked in Washington with supplying the military with beds. He was only able to come home for a few days a year, he was that busy
I have made a point to ask people who can remember the Pearl Harbor attack where they were and what they remember. There are fewer and fewer of them to ask now. I miss that generation so much.
Thank you so much for uploading this .. I recently visited Hyde Park and am reading the Doris Kearns Goodwin book .. excellent .. boy, wish he were alive today!
FDR was one of the greatest American orators of the 20th Century. He was also a great leader. However, some of wah the said was untrue. There was no collaboration between Japan and germany that preceded the attack on Pearl harbor and there was no discussion between Japan and Germany about 'spoils' after the war. Some of what FDR said was untrue. I feel that this does not substantially corrupt his quality as a great leader. On the other hand, George Bush, who was a terrible leader lied about Iraq. I do feel that FDR's untruths were in the service of a greater good (going to war with all the Axis) and this excused his lies. Bush lied but his end for his lies were unjust and unwarranted. What do you all think?
I think the involvement of the US in the war was already due, and this lie did not contribute to anything, so it should not have been told. I see FDR as a great leader with that being said.
I also believe that once lying is permitted, it is soon used for purposes which are questionable or which serve some inner interests of government for example when Obama lied about the US not using tortures in the war on terror. I think these measures are justified in these situations, but nevertheless he should’ve let the public discuss and judge.
I think that what call lies was FDR thought must have been true by his own supposition. It was a different world then, intelligence was not as advanced. He was stirring the people to prepare for war like they’d never had before. Therefore he must be allowed a bit of inaccuracy because he was stating what thought was true, not what he knew to be fact.
Japan was a poor and weak country. FDR did not keep them (criminal gangsters) in check. He had all the military might in his hands but did not use them properly.
Japan was a poor and weak country, that’s why they were called an Empire, conquered islands all across the Pacific, occupied Korea, occupied much of China, and were evenly matched with the Americans during WWII due to their no-surrender tactics.
What a speech, true leadership right there.
Thank you for posting this. A treasure from our national history. If only more people would listen!
a real president! 🇺🇲🇺🇲

I felt pretty emotional when The Star-Spangled Banner was played. Scary times for our country.
Best speech to listen to during covid. God bless America.

FDR will live forever in our hearts and minds, as the truly great leader he was. His contribution along with Eleanor's still cannot be fully measured.
The speech distortion at the end made me laugh really hard
'''Here we come, motherfuckers"
I completely agree.
Needs subs!

Lies are wrong no matter what the greater good is no reason to lie !
The world would be a better place if France and Britain didn't attack Germany first.

Eloquently said In 9:47. Just curious. How long would it take Biden?
what president was that
FDR
@michaelcarmon3338 The greatest in history: our unbeatable, legendary FDR!
Biden: Chinese balloon floating over half the country? Well... let it pass!
Roosevelt: get that dirty business out of our skies...
😂 spy balloons flew over the country during the Trump administration as well, but whatever makes you feel right I guess.
Didn’t Biden get an F22 to shoot it down? Lol but you wouldn’t mention anything that disproves your echo chamber.
