Today's Show: PEARL HARBOR REMEMBERED

Chris discusses the 75th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941.  We listen to some of the famous speech given by President Franklin D. Roosevelt about the day that would "live in infamy."  Also discussed are current events about the Trump administration and the nomination of General "Mad Dog" Mattis as Secretary of Defense.  Mattis has been described as the closest we have to General George S. Patton.  Will Trump restore the worldview of the greatest generation?
