0:00.0	Welcome to the intersection of faith in culture. It's the Wall Builder Show, and today we're jumping right back in with David Barton, speaking at the pro-family legislator conference.
0:15.5	Congress declared war. You have FDR talking to Congress, and so we declare war on the 8th. Now, as it turns out, Japan has a treaty with Germany, and Germany and Japan have a treaty
0:26.0	that either one is attacked by another nation that the other nation will go to their aid.
0:30.6	So once we declare war on Japan, then Germany and Italy, Hitler and Mussolini, they declare
0:35.6	war on the United States.
0:36.6	And once they declare war on us, we turn right back around, declare war on the United States. And once they declare

1:22.7	They took broomsticks and painted them black, and that's what they used for rifles when they

1:36.5	saw so what happens is we have to from the time that we got attacked by japan it was 11 months
