a popular government wartime radio show, performed by president franklin d. roosevelt, was known as "fireside chats". two of the most famous programs on the radio show were entitled "on national security" and "on the declaration of war with japan". “the arsenal of democracy” was a slogan coined by president roosevelt during his national security radio broadcast delivered on december 29, 1940. roosevelt promised to help great britain fight nazi germany by providing them with military supplies in a program known as lend-lease, while the united states stayed out of the actual fighting. this announcement was made a year before the attacks on pearl harbor, at a time when germany had occupied much of europe and threatened great britain. the day after the attack on pearl harbor, roosevelt delivered his famous infamy speech to the united states, which was broadcast to the american people. the president called for a formal declaration of war on the empire of japan. the infamy speech was brief, running to just a little over seven minutes, and roosevelt made a point of emphasizing that the united states and her interests were in grave danger. in so doing, he sought to end the isolationist stance the united states had previously been advocating concerning involvement in the war. the overall tone of the speech was one of determined realism. roosevelt made no attempt to glaze over the extensive damage that had been caused to the american armed forces, noting the number of american lives lost in the attack. however, he emphasized his confidence in the strength of the america to face the challenge posed by japan.
