He addresses the audience and states what has occurred (Pearl Harbor bombings).
The United States had tried to keep peace with Japan, but Japan had cut off diplomatic negotiations.
The attack on Hawaii was obviously planned days or weeks ago, so the Japanese have definitely been planning hostilities against the United States for some time.
The bombings killed many Americans and made a dent in their military power.
He goes on to list all of the other places that the Japanese has bombed in order to control the Pacific.
So far, he has only ordered defensive measures to be taken.
He summarizes his reasons for doing so, and then directly declares war against Japan.
