december 71941 the navy attacks pearl harbor hawaii. the casualties total 2300 killed in 1177 aboard the uss -- it wasn't just four days later that the axis powers italy and germany declared war considered states and that happened on december 11. it's a little known historical fact that even though the germans and the japanese were allies they didn't necessarily share all the information. just like us they work unaware in a few days difference of the war declarations. to understand what kind of war the united states entered and again it was a global war and it's amazing to see how the united states could project its military prowess in the far pacific and atlantic in africa as well as asia. it's astounding so it shows how battles were fought on literally the other side of the planet. the most complex undertaken. we talked about the battle of the atlantic. the germans they needed to stop it. a month after germany were the first wave of u-boats arrived at these codes. operation drumbeat was the first of many operations that continued to l

harbor, pearl harbor day was a real thing. it was not quite a national holiday but it was a day that was marked and observed, the type of thing you didn't schedule superfun things to take place on december 7th, the same way that today we tried to avoid large celebratory events on 9/11. that memory is replaced the next generation with the kennedy assassination. one of the sort of weirdest realizations i have in this book, i have a one-year-old daughter and for her, 9/11 will be as removed historically as the kennedy assassination was to me or someone born in 1981 and to me, i am a history buff. the kennedy assassination could not be more ancient history. i write about it as real history. i cover the fiftieth anniversary of the kennedy assassination and the idea, for my daughter, 9/11 will be as weirdly removed to her, it is unimaginable to me because i can tell you every minute of that day as it unfolded for me. i have the story about eating breakfast in college and that is one of the things, when you talk to -- maybe your pare

i want to take you to what we call the second pearl harbor it happened december 2nd, 1943 in italy, a beautiful little country spot today but in 1943 it was a harbor where ships brought in tools and because it was 43 and the war would go on for almost two more years but in december of 1943, there was a ship that was carrying explosions that were unnamed at the time but in general bernard montgomery positioned these bombs and one of them carried 100 tons of mustard gas bombs although outlawed after world war i and the american logic we were never to use mustard gas. general montgomery had a requisition shipped to him in case the germans he was fighting would take advantage of us. 100 tons of mustard gas bombs and about 330 in the afternoon that report having 30 ships in the harbor normally when you see them lined up to unload they line up right next to the dock. it was so loaded there were 30 ships in the harbor and only one of them had this on it and when they came in they dropped the bomb on the uss john harvey which exploded. no, no, not exploded, but with 100 tons one on each side

the first location that i'd like to highlight this evening is about the pearl. we recently received a handful of complaints about their rooftop entertainment now that the venue has reo i've been in conversation with the owner and we believe the issue is because the business was closed during covid and some residents moved in when it was closed. now that it reopened, those residents are not used to the sound coming from the rooftop at pearl. i've reached out to the planning department because there's a new residential building on their block and i'm looking into whether or not the project plans for that residential building were submitted before chapter 116 for the rdc approval came into our purview and so i'm looking into that and regardless either way, they are going out to the pearl on thursday to take a sound reading and assess the situation and we plan to set a sound limit based on the closest sensitive receptors which is 13d to bring that to your attention because we haven't seen the pearl on our radar for some time and it's a by-product of covid now that t

it was the worst in navy defeat in pearl harbor. in contrast, the two groups suffered only two casualties and a dozen wounded. this evening, the uss monitor arrives after coming down from new york where it was built and encountered a carnage with the navy. they went next to the grounded uss minnesota, wooden sided, and got it ready for battle that was sure to come the next day. confident in the previous day's victory, they launched 1,000 yards out with the uss minnesota. protecting the minnesota, the modern equipment was moved next to the virginia. the two traded shots with one another at point blank range but doing no significant damage. each ship tried to ram the other. each commander tried to find a weak spot. through it all, the minnesota remained afloat. only an iron ship could stop another iron ship. the battle that took place that day left neither the monitor nor the virginia seriously damaged and both sides claimed victory. ultimately historians call it the battle of draw. in fact, there was one clear winner, the age when wa
