Nine hours after the attack on Pearl Harbor, General Douglas MacArthur, commander of US Army forces in the Philippines, allows his air forces to be destroyed on the ground. This inaction, along with the fact that MacArthur took a $500,000.00 "bribe" from Filipino president Quezon to not instigate hostile action towards the Japanese, prompts President Roosevelt to publicly fire MacArthur. The details of Quezon's payment are not made public, but FDR privately reveals them to the general's Republican supporters in Congress.

"Yesterday, December 7, 1938, a date which will live in infamy, the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan." So says President Eleanor Roosevelt before a joint session of Congress and a nationwide radio audience. Her speech was largely written by two of her chief aides: Her husband Franklin Roosevelt and her multi-operational assistant Harry Hopkins. "The United States was at peace with that Nation. It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. Yesterday the Japanese Government also launched an attack against Malaya. Last night Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong. Last night Japanese forces attacked Singapore. Last night Japanese forces attacked Saigon. Last night Japanese forces attacked Sakhalin Island. Last night Japanese forces attacked Guam. Last night Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands. Last night the Japanese attacked Wake Island. And this morning the Japanese attacked Midway Island. Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday and today speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our Nation. As Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense. But always will our whole Nation remember the character of the onslaught against us. No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory." With an eye toward the isolationists in Congress, she says, "Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory, and our interests are in grave danger. With confidence in our armed forces, with the unbounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph, so help us God! I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Wednesday, December 7, 1938, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire." The vote is nearly unanimous in both houses of Congress. Mrs. Roosevelt has come a long way from being the terrible speaker who was first elected Governor of New York in 1924, and from being a liberal Democratic President vigorously opposed domestically by the Republican Party. Her voice is now the clear, strong, unambiguous voice of a united nation. For now.
