Pearl Harbor survivor Navy Lt. Jim Downing recalls a day that will live in infamy

STREAM IT ON THE PLATFORMS:

We hope everyone celebrating enjoyed their Easter; it was a true honor to be joined this episode by survivor of the attacks on Pearl Harbor, Navy Lt. Jim Downing. Jim is the author of “The Other Side of Infamy: My Journey through Pearl Harbor and the World of War,” and though Jim is 103, he’s still able to bring us back to that infamous day on December 7^th, 1941. We talk PTSD, keeping America safe and strong, and living past 100 with this true American hero.

We also recap the stampede at Penn Station over the weekend, and Brandon gives his tips as a Navy SEAL for staying safe in a situation of panic like this. We give several throat punches this week, and also make a big announcement about the show that you do not want to miss. We still need your help for the Big Mountain Heroes Kickstarter as well, so please take advantage of the incredible incentives for you in being a part of creating this important documentary.

As someone who’s seen what happens when the truth is distorted, I know how unfair it feels when those who’ve sacrificed the most lose their voice. At SOFREP, our veteran journalists, who once fought for freedom, now fight to bring you unfiltered, real-world intel. But without your support, we risk losing this vital source of truth. By subscribing, you’re not just leveling the playing field—you’re standing with those who’ve already given so much, ensuring they continue to serve by delivering stories that matter. Every subscription means we can hire more veterans and keep their hard-earned knowledge in the fight. Don’t let their voices be silenced. Please consider subscribing now.

One team, one fight,
Brandon Webb former Navy SEAL, Bestselling Author and Editor-in-Chief
