39
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: New York's Bravest mean something, now, doesn't it? This is

40
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: a time to reflect and be thankful for where we

41
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: are today through the we will rebuild New York City.

42
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: She still yet after America was attacked, it was as

43
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: if our entire country looked into a mirror and saw

44
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: our better selves. That was seventeen years ago. I can't

45
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: even believe how long it has been. Michael W. Smith.

46
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: The story behind that song, and obviously we added a

47
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: lot of the audio to it, and we have other

48
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: songs we'll be playing throughout the day today. Is that

49
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: at some point after the attack that happened here in

50
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: New York City, George W. Bush said to Michael W.

51
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: You got you gotta write a song, the video to it.

52
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: We'll put it up on our website, Hannity dot com.

53
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: I mean, if you watch this video and hear this

54
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: song and you don't cry, you don't have a heart,

55
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: you don't have a soul. Anyway, eight hundred nine for

56
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: one sewn toll free number. You want to be a

57
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: part of the program. Later on, Bernie Kerrick will we'll

58
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: go back. We'll remember seventeen years ago. Then we'll go

59
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 1: back and remember six years ago. It was also nine eleven,

60
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: twenty twelve, when of course there was the attack in

61
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: Benghazi and the stand down orders and the people. It's

62
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: how fascinating that Barack Obama this past Friday, I called

63
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: it a conspiracy theory about Benghazi. Can I add something?

64
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 1: Do you mind? You know I never interrupt your monologue,

65
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: so it's worthy. Go ahead, Linda, it's the lending them

66
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: on Glacklin show. No, I just wanted to I was

67
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: talking to someone the other day. I had never heard

68
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: this as someone who lived here on nine eleven was

69
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: trapped into building on nine to eleven myself, and I

70
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: was talking to this guy who went down and volunteered

71
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: on nine to eleven, and he was there. He was

72
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: about three feet from the President when he came and

73
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: gave that iconomy when he stood on the rubble with

74
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: the bullhorn one hundred percent and was like, you know,

75
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: giving soon the rest of the world will hear from us.

76
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: And the interesting thing that he said to me, which

77
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: I was like in shock, He's like no one could

78
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: hear him because even though he was on the bullhorn,

79
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: we were kind of behind him, right, and everyone on

80
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: the job site, as they were calling it, was whispering

81
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: in case they heard signs of life. Right, So there

82
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: was this weirdness when everyone, like the President comes on

83
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: the you know, the scene of this horrible terror attack,

84
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: and you would think there'd be applause or cheering, and

85
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: it was silence. The fireman, the elderly gentleman next to them.

86
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: President Bush, I've run into many times. He's a wonderful man,

87
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: and you know, it's it's an amazing thing to go

88
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: back and think that we lived through this. And one

89
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: of the things that always comes to mind, it's like

90
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: you just can't believe it. One tower's hit, another tower's hit,

91
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: the Pentagon's hit. I mean, think of it this way.

92
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: My daughter just turned seventeen years old. She was born

93
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: August twenty ninth, two thousand and one, and I asked

94
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: her it sometimes, do you know what happened, you know,

95
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: just a couple of weeks after you were born. She knows,

96
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: she knows what happened, but she didn't live it. And

97
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 1: it's amazing. How scared were you. It's like you're bringing

98
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: your baby girl into this world and this happens, like

99
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: what ten days later, those thoughts I wasn't afraid. I

100
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: America had strength. It was chilling to watch. It's something

101
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: that I've always known that evil exists. My dad had

102
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: fought in World War Two after Pearl Harbor. I knew

103
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: about his life experience four years in the Pacific. And

104
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: we all know. I've learned enough history about your fascism, Nazism, communism.

105
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: We know what happened Imperial Japan and that unprovoked attack.

106
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: You know day that we'll live in infamy in nine

107
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: to eleven with the worst attack in history. We're living here.

108
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: And you know my son was in college. Now he

109
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: literally dropped him off at nursery school, just dropped him off.

110
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: Then I gotta call Gomez, calls me, Hannity Gomez, are

111
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: you watching this like what? That's a run home race

112
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: to the TV? And you know at that point he

113
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: just stunts, just stunning one thing after another. Now, this

114
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: is often the methodology of these terrorists, and all world's

115
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: changed a lot from that. We forget you know, I know,

116
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: we go through airports and we get padded down and

117
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: we get wandered. Especially if you travel with sweet baby James,

118
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: you get wanted more than usual because he has a

119
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: big sign on his back that says wand me and

120
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: everybody with me. He's the only one that gets wanted

121
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: every single time. Now that he has an artist, unfortunately,

122
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: well now he has a fake hip that this last

123
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: Russia Summit disaster. Yeah, um, and but that never used

124
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: to be the case. I remember how that day we

125
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: were able to get on the air and radio. I mean,

126
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: we couldn't get into the city. Nobody could enter New

127
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: York City. And so Phil Boyce was our program director

128
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: at the time over at the ex Wife our other

129
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: station once that was once Good Good station and anyway,

130
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: so over there, I'm just teasing our friends there, but honestly,

131
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: we got up. We went. I went to w l

132
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: i R in guard City, Long Island. It's since changed

133
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 1: call letters a number of times, but it was a

134
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: big station over at the time when I was growing

135
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: up as a kid. It was an alternative rock station.

136
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: And we went there and I'm sitting in one studio

137
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: I think WLTW, which is light music in New York

138
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: that they're in that studio. Opie and Anthony are in

139
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 1: that studio. They were on ANYW at the time, and

140
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,599
Speaker 1: then that station was doing the Rome broadcasting and you

141
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: got wires literally all up and down the hall, and

142
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: somehow magically they were able to get everybody up on

143
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 1: the air, and we were able to broadcast that day

144
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: because I couldn't get into the city. I've lived on

145
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: on a long island, and by the way, this is

146
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: a very competitive business, but not that day. Everyone was

147
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: all hands on deck. And the thing that stands out

148
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,719
Speaker 1: in my mind and what I remember the most, it

149
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: was one shock after another, then the field in Pennsylvania,

150
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 1: then the Pentagon. I remember when I was broadcasting. It

151
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: was during the broadcast I had gotten a call from somebody.

152
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: I don't think we've taken commercials that day, and I

153
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:09,599
Speaker 1: remember somebody said Barbara Olson was on the flight that

154
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: hit the Pentagon, and that's Ted Olson's wife, former Solicitor General.

155
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: Great guy. Barbara Olson had been a regular. She wrote

156
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,599
Speaker 1: about Hillary Clinton Held to Pay. I think it was

157
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: the name of her book. I still have it. She

158
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: had Hillary thesis from college, I remember. But more importantly

159
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: is all of these families to this. This is a

160
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: hard day for a lot of people. You know, there

161
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: are kids that have grown up having never seen their

162
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,719
Speaker 1: mothers and fathers because they died that day. And a

163
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 1: lot of the people that died were firemen, and a

164
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: lot of them were policemen, and a lot of them

165
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: were transit police people and other paramedics and first responders.

166
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: And the most amazing thing that happens is while everybody

167
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 1: is trying to get out of what is a horrific situation,

168
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: those guys going up in the other direction. And even

169
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 1: for a city like New York, which can be pretty cold,

170
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's kind of a true image. I mean,

171
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: Linda's walking through this. Come up, can you walk fast?

172
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: Let's go? How are you going? Can we talk about

173
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: my finer points today? And not bad thing? Yeah? Okay,

174
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: But the point is New York came together because New

175
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: York is a very impatient place at times, with impatient

176
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: walkers on the streets. I am not alone, okay, But

177
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: out of nowhere, all these you know, people started popping

178
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: up tents and feeding all the first responders everywhere, all around,

179
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: all around where the rubble was Campbell's soup. I never

180
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: forget campbell soups. But they weren't charging anybody. Restaurants open,

181
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: they didn't charge anybody, and you know, volunteers going down

182
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: to the extent that they could allow people in. And

183
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:51,839
Speaker 1: I think we have a lot of lessons to learn

184
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: from this. We had let our guard down. They were

185
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: war with us. We had forgotten the Cobard Towers, the

186
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: embassy bombings, and Kenyon and Tanzania, we forgot the USS

187
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: coal the First Trade Center bombing. All that had happened,

188
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: and we didn't do anything about it. And I don't

189
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: Those enemies still exist out there, and that's a danger

190
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: to every good man, woman and child on this earth.

191
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: There is evil that wants to destroy us. You only

192
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 1: need read the history of Stalin and Russia and fascism

193
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 1: and Hitler in Germany. That is pure, unadulterated evil. You

194
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: open any newspaper on any given day, you read about

195
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: murder and rape and horrific things that are done man's

196
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: in humanity demand. And on the other side of that,

197
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 1: in the midst of such evil, you get the other

198
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: side of the human experience, just pure generosity, goodness, courage

199
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: on a level that you never see before. And that's

200
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: what I remember. All those people that went up in

201
00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: the other direction and never went home that night pretty lieable.

202
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: We better never forget, because it can happen again. We'd

203
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: better keep our guard up. Do you have opinions that

222
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: You know it is um. I do love human true

223
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: human courage, and I know like when we go to movies.

224
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: We like to see heroic figures, we really do, I know,

225
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: for whatever reason. And I'm not particularly somebody that likes

226
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: Hollywood a whole lot, but you know, all these action

227
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: figure hero movies, I know a lot of them do

228
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: very well in the box office and people like them.

229
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: But there were actually more real heroes that day, seventeen

230
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: years ago. You know, you think about this, two planes

231
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: hitting two towers, another plane hitting the Pentagon, A plane

232
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: goes down on a field in Pennsylvania because a bunch

233
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: of brave people said let's roll. Those were all heroes,

234
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: every one of them. And we forget, but they're remember.

235
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: We remember them all today, their courage. I don't even

236
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: know to say about this idiot Joe Scarborough, Liberal Joe

237
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: and Mika. It really outdoes himself this morning. He actually

238
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: writes a Washington Post column. It's not like he miss spoke. Now.

239
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: I'm on the era. I fly without a net four

240
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: hours a day, live radio, live television, every single day.

241
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: But when you take the time to really write something,

242
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: you have time to sculpt it, go over it, think

243
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: about it. He just made a total asse out of

244
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: himself and he's trying to walk it back now Mediaite

245
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: has the story up that, after receiving heavy criticism, he

246
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: was asking whether President Trump had a more detrimental impact

247
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: on America than nine to eleven. I mean, this is

248
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: how sick and twisted and ugly and deranged that Conspiracy

249
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: Network has become. I mean, it's twenty four to seven

250
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: hating Trump. You can't put it aside for five seconds,

251
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: not even on nine to eleven oh one. And just anyway,

252
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: he does a title a title piece in the Washington Post.

253
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: Trump is harming the dream of America more than any

254
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: foreign adversary ever could. Is it even worth talking about

255
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: this guy? No, it really isn't just pretty disgusting, it's

256
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: really twisted. It's sick. You know, all the success that

257
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: we're having. Maybe you don't like the style of the president,

258
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: the tweets of the president, things he says, sometimes the

259
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: fights that he picks. But you can't deny it's worker.

260
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: That's one thing. By the way, Joey Scarborough'll meek they

261
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: used to love the president. Yes, they don't like them

262
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,479
Speaker 1: now so now they've gone all in. That's a Republican

263
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: on Conspiracy TV MSNBC job STARTI joins us in a minute.

264
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: The President now is at his desk at the White

265
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: House in the Oval Office and talking about Hurricane Florence,

266
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: a Cat four headed right for the Carolina Coast and

267
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: the eastern coast of the United States. Here's what he says. Okay,

268
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: thank you very much. I've received a briefing from Secretary Nielsen,

269
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: administrat along and my senior staff regarding Hurricane Florence and

270
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 1: other tropical systems that will soon impact the United States

271
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: and its territories. The safety of American people is my

272
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 1: absolute highest priority. We are sparing no expense. We are

273
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: totally prepared. We're ready. We're as ready as anybody's ever been.

274
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 1: And it looks to me, and it looks to all

275
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 1: of a lot of very talented people that do this

276
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: for a living, like this is going to be a

277
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,719
Speaker 1: storm that's going to be a very large one, far

278
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: larger than we've seen in perhaps decades. Things can change,

279
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: but we doubt they will at this stage. It's pretty

280
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 1: late stage. We doubt they're going to be very very

281
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: far off course. The places that are in the way

282
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 1: and in the most jeopardy would be Virginia, North Carolina,

283
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: South Carolina, that area, and again they haven't seen anything

284
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: like what's coming at us in twenty five thirty years

285
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: maybe ever. It's tremendously big and tremendously wet, tremendous amounts

286
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: of water. So I've spoken with the governors of South Carolina,

287
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: North Carolina, and Virginia. They're prepared, We're prepared. We're working

288
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: very well in conjunction with the governors. I'd like to

289
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: ask Brock along our administrator has done so well for

290
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: US and Texas and Florida, we have something it could

291
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 1: very well be very similar to Texas in the sense

292
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: that it's tremendous amounts of water. Texas was the one

293
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: that had I would say to this point, Brock probably

294
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: more water than we've ever seen in a storm or

295
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 1: a hurricane, and it went out for seconds and thirds.

296
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: We've never seen anything like Edward. But females, you know,

297
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: did a fantastic job, and a fantastic job well so

298
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 1: in Florida. And I'd like to ask Kruc if you

299
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: would to just say a few words to the media

300
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: as to where it is now, what's going to be happening,

301
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: and how well prepared we are. Thank you as president. Unfortunately,

302
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: Hurricane Florence is setting up to be a devastating event

303
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: to the Carolinas and potentially Virginia as well. So as

304
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: you can see their forecasts, they're forecasting a major landfalling

305
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 1: storm category three or four storm. At landfall, the biggest

306
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: hazard that we're worried about is storm surge. That's the

307
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: primary driver of the evacuations that are underway by the

308
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia right now. But

309
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: as this system comes in and makes landfall during the weekend,

310
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: it's forecast to stall out, lose this steering it's steering

311
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: currents and drop copious amounts of rainfall. Unfortunately, the remnants

312
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: of Gordon passed through the Mid Atlantic over the weekend

313
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: and dropped a lot of rain, saturating rivers. So Hurricane

314
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: Florence has it come in and puts anywhere between twenty

315
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: and thirty inches more and isolated areas to create a

316
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: lot of indland flooding. So right now, sir, we're supporting

317
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 1: the governors with achieving their life safety evacuation movements. We're

318
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: focused on mass care and sheltering, and then we'll be

319
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: focused on helping them to execute their response and recovery goals.

320
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: What are the chances that it veers off costs and

321
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: the hit won't be so direct. What are the chances

322
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: of that? Unfortunately, I believe there's quite a bit of

323
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 1: certainty in the track forecast because the forward speed is

324
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: picking up, it's getting faster, and when systems do that,

325
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: the track forecast becomes a lot more accurate. And I

326
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: think the expectation needs to be set with the citizens

327
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: in this area that if you've been asked to leave,

328
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: get out of the areas that are going to flood

329
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: and get into a facility that can withstand the winds.

330
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: Let's set the expectations as well. This has an opportunity

331
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: of being a very devastating storm. The power is going

332
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: to be off for weeks, You're going to be displaced

333
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: from your home in the coastal areas, and there will

334
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,360
Speaker 1: be flooding in the inland areas as well. So these

335
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: are going to be statewide events. The hazards will be statewide.

336
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: Thanks you wanted to show us this one, then this

337
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: is a This is a seven day rainfall graphic. As

338
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: you can see, the pink areas and the purple areas

339
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: indicate twenty inches that's a mean area rainfall, that's an

340
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: average rainfall amount, but you may see isolated amounts greater

341
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: into the thirty inch range over Virginia, the central portions

342
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: of Virginia and West Virginia. And these impacts are they're

343
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 1: going to be through the mid Atlantic. So we're coordinating

344
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,239
Speaker 1: not only with South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, but other

345
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: mid Atlantic states all the way to Delaware. Good, I guess, sir,

346
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: And it has been great coordination. I have to tell you.

347
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: The states have been terrific. Everybody's working together. The governors

348
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: and all of their representatives have been absolutely fantastic in

349
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: FEMA as nobody like you people, I mean they what

350
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: they're doing is incredible. Do you have any questions for

351
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: Secretary Nielsen or for Brock? Long since we see from

352
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: what happened Puerto Ricos, Puerto Rico, I think Puerto Rico

353
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: was incredibly successful. Puerto Rico was actually our toughest one

354
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 1: of all because it's an island, so you can't trump

355
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: things onto and everything is by boat. We moved to

356
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: hospital into Puerto Rico, a tremendous military hospital in the

357
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: form of a ship. You know that. And I actually think,

358
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: and the governor has been very nice and if you

359
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: asked the governor, he'll tell you what a great job

360
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: I think, probably the hardest one we had by far

361
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: wast Puerto Rico because of the island nature, and I

362
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 1: actually think it was one of the best jobs that's

363
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: ever been done. With respect to what this is all about.

364
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico got hit not with one hurricane but with two.

365
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 1: And the problem with Puerto Rico is their electric grid

366
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: and their electric generating plan was dead before the storm's

367
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: ever hit. It was in very bad shape. It was

368
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 1: in bankruptcy, had no money, it was largely you know,

369
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: it was largely closed, and when the storm hit, they

370
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: had no electricity essentially before the storm, and when the

371
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: storm hit, that took it out entirely. The job that

372
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: FEMA and law enforcement and everybody did working along with

373
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: the governor in Puerto Rico, I think was tremendous. I

374
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: think the Puerto Rico was an incredible unsung success. Texas.

375
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: We had been given a pluses for Florida, we've been

376
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 1: given a pluses for I think in a certain way,

377
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 1: the best job we did was Puerto Rico. But nobody

378
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 1: would understand that. I mean, that's it's harder to understand.

379
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: It was a very hard, very hard thing to do

380
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: because of the fact they had no electric before the

381
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: storm's hit. It was dead, as you probably know. So

382
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: we've gotten a lot of receptivity, a lot of thanks

383
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 1: for the job we've done in Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico

384
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,400
Speaker 1: was very important and by the way, speaking of Puerto Rico,

385
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 1: and there to be affected pretty much pretty soon by

386
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: something else that's on its way, is it right? Potentially

387
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: Hurricane Isaac right now is tracking south of the island,

388
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 1: but we are We have several thousand people inside Puerto

389
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: Rico right now working on long term recovery that have

390
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: shifted to the response mode to monitor as Isaac passes

391
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: to the sea. Do not want to see Hurricane Isaac

392
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: hit Puerto Rico, That's all we need. But we have

393
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: a big hurricane out there and then sort of skirting

394
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 1: along Puerto Rico and the edge of Puerto Rico, that

395
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 1: would not be good. How much do you think you

396
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: need for ricovery efforts next, Well, we have it currently.

397
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna obviously these are all unanticipated, so we'll go

398
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: to Congress. Congress will be very generous because we have

399
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: no choice. This is the United States, and it's whether

400
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: it's Texas or Florida, or frankly, if it's Virginia, because

401
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 1: Virginia looks like it's very much in the path. Maryland,

402
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: by the way, could be affected, very seriously affected. Just

403
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: to add it's a little bit outside of the path.

404
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: And then of course South Carolina and North Carolina. I

405
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: think that any amounts of money, whatever it takes, we're

406
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: going to do. But we're already set up. We have

407
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: tremendous trucking systems, we have food systems, we have a

408
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of contractors waiting. But for the

409
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 1: most part, it's been handled by FEMA, and also we've

410
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: coordinated locally. We have food for days, we have emergency

411
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 1: equipment and generators for many days. We should be in

412
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: great shape. Now, I've also heard it could be twenty

413
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: one and twenty two inches. If you can imagine what

414
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: that is, twenty two inches of rain. It is not

415
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: something that we've had, certainly we've never had this on

416
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,199
Speaker 1: the East Coast. But I think we're very well prepared,

417
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: very well set up. When you say, yeah, I think

418
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: this storm right here is very similar to Hurricane Hugo,

419
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: and it's almost like a combination of Hurricane Hugo and

420
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: eighty nine and her Floyd in nineteen ninety nine. But look,

421
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: successful disaster response and recovery is one that's locally executed,

422
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 1: state managed, and federally supported. So what FEMA is doing

423
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,199
Speaker 1: is prepositioning the federal government's assets to support each one

424
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: of those governors that are about to be impacted with

425
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: achieving their response and recovery goals. And that's the way

426
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: emergency management and disaster response works best. I also think

427
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: i'd i'd like to point out that what we learned

428
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: last year is that we have got to build a

429
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: true culture preparedness within our citizens here in America. This

430
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 1: is a partnership and it takes anything from neighbor helping

431
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 1: neighbor all the way to the federal government when it

432
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: comes to correctly responding and recovery. We as power opportunity.

433
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 1: What we'll do that right now? So sure, great, that's

434
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: a great question. So FEMA doesn't own the power the

435
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 1: power grids in any one of these states. A lot

436
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: of them are owned by the private industry. So what

437
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 1: we have our Business Emergency Operations Center calls. We're concentrating

438
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: with the private vendors to make sure that they have

439
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 1: strong mutual aid program is in place, and we set

440
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 1: up incident support great bases to help stage power crews

441
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: coming in from other states, and largely it's famous job

442
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: to get out of the way to make sure that

443
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: the private power companies can get into these areas to

444
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: set up their grid. We don't own it. We don't

445
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: own it. But unlike Puerto Rico, you have very strong

446
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 1: power companies. They're very powerful, very well managed in the

447
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: sense that they they have tremendous overcapacity. They are going

448
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,959
Speaker 1: to do a great job. They also have made contracts

449
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 1: with other power companies that won't be affected, and they're

450
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: going to be coming in. Just answer your question, they'll

451
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: be coming in to the various states that will be affected.

452
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: They're going to be coming in very strongly, and they're

453
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 1: already lining up. They'll be here probably for the most

454
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: part tomorrow or shortly before the stormheads, so they're going

455
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,159
Speaker 1: to be in great shape. These are really states that

456
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 1: have very very strong power authorities. President people who need

457
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: not that way. Well, that's very rich. I mean again,

458
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: we've never seen anything quite like this. On the East

459
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: Coast at least, and if it turns out to be

460
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: as bad, you know, we go out there, you have

461
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: you have people that actually go fly through these storms.

462
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 1: These are very brave people, but they fly through and

463
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: from what I'm hearing, the sites that they're seeing have

464
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: not been seen on the East Coast before. So I

465
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 1: would say everybody should get out. I mean, you have

466
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: to listen to your local authorities and whether you're Upland

467
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: or downland, but depending on where you are, you have

468
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: to listen and you have to get out if they

469
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: want you to get out, because it's going to be

470
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: impossible to have people get in there, whether it's law

471
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: enforcement or FEMA or anybody else. Once this thing, so

472
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: it's going to be really really bad along the coast. Okay,

473
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: anything else you ordering, well, you shouldn't be talking about

474
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: that right now because it doesn't matter. But I really

475
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: appreciate this statement. This state was excellent, and they both

476
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: set out you know, the president. Wrapping up now is

477
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: we go to Joe bistorti WeatherBell dot com. Joe, you've

478
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: been saying one thing that you said to me in

479
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: a text message. This is the real thing. This is

480
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: the real deal. It's gonna the pattern, which was confirmed

481
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: by the President's guy. The pattern is not going to shift.

482
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: It's going right to the Carolinas and Virginia. Well, yeah,

483
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: I think that there's a track rock showing that the track, well,

484
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: you know, we've been further south, we've been in at

485
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: Wilmington's Cape Fear and then taking it sort of toward Asheville,

486
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: not quite as much up toward Virginia, and I think

487
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: that that still has validity. And I could have given

488
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: a strength of this big upper ridge of high pressure

489
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: that's going to be developing this weekend, I could see

490
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: this track going almost straight westward through South Carolina into

491
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: North Georgia. I'm actually a little bit more concerned about

492
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: North Georgia and South Carolina than Virginia now where where

493
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: landfall is at Cape Fear, I don't think we're going

494
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: to we're going to vary that at all. And the

495
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: question becomes how fast does it come ashore? And if

496
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: you see it, the best thing that can happen in

497
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: the best of the worst world is that this comes

498
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: and stops just offshore the water up wells, and even

499
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: though those beaches will be getting battered, it would weaken

500
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: a bit just before it came inland. And if it

501
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: just keeps coming and coming and coming, and if it's

502
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: inland late Thursday night Friday morning, you're going to see

503
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty hundred and fifty mile an hour

504
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: winds where it makes landfall around Cape Fear. We do

505
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: think that this is going to it sometime crawl to

506
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: an almost halt. And the question is when and where

507
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: is that hawk going to be? Is it going to

508
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: be on the South Carolina? You said this yesterday that

509
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: it's a slower moving storm than you go, which went

510
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: in and out and created massive damage. And then that

511
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: sense it makes it more deadly to you. It makes it.

512
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: It makes it if it comes in and then stalls,

513
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: that's the worst case scenario because it won't have time.

514
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: A lot of times when these storms stall in these

515
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: coastal waters, what will happen is they'll be up well

516
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: and the water will cool and they'll start to get

517
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: a little bit weaker. The storm that hit in nineteen

518
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: sixty four and Dora, for instance, stopped off St. Augustine

519
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: for a while before it came in, So instead of

520
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: going in at one forty one in at one twenty.

521
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: What we want to emphasize and what we would say

522
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: to weather Bell is we believe this is going to

523
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: be a storm that very very close and on top

524
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: of Cape Fear late Thursday night and on into Friday morning,

525
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: and then the track is more west into the southern

526
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: part of the Carolina southern North Carolina, South Carolina, rather

527
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: than up. I'm not really impressed with the I'm not

528
00:31:55,880 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: saying I'm not saying stop in Virginia. I'm certain not

529
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 1: telling you to you know, I don't worry about it.

530
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is that when that storm gets to

531
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: the coast, there is a rearrangement of the upper pattern,

532
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: sort of a handoff from the Atlantic Ridge to the

533
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: Big Ridge is going to be over the Great Lakes

534
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: of blocking Upper High and that when is it gonna hit?

535
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 1: We gotta we gotta run here. When when do you

536
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: think this makes landfall? It's midnight to six am Friday

537
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: morning at Cape or North Carolina. That's when I think

538
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: the center comes ashore. All right, When does it really

539
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: start hitting though? Well, that big hurricane force winds reached

540
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: the North Carolina coast by noon, maybe nine am in

541
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: the morning on Thursday. I think those areas are getting battered.

542
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: So by the time I come on the air Thursday

543
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: night at nine, it's going to be in full swing

544
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: by y'all. Oh yeah, it's gonna be rocking and rolling.

545
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just that storm is going to be

546
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: WeatherBell dot com for the very latest. Americans do not

547
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: yet have the distance of history, but our responsibility to

548
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: hit street is already clear to answer these attacks and

549
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: rid the world of evil. I hear people say we

550
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: don't need this war and it's not a wart. I say,

551
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: there's something worth fighting for. We are very grateful and

552
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: thankful that we live in a country with this freedom

553
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: of speech, that people who are either for or against

554
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: the war can speak out. What about our freed Everything

555
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: else went black and this piece of ground, everything came down.

556
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: We didn't get to keep them by backing down, glass

557
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 1: of popping, and people got hurt. He said, on realize

558
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: the mess we're getting there goes there, goes Well, you

559
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: start you're preaching. Let me ask you this, my friend,

560
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: have you forgotten Oh my god, oh my god. Another

561
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: plane just flew. It's posing is incredible. Have you forgotten?

562
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: I saw this plane come out of nowhere and just

563
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: green right into the side of the twin tower, exploding

564
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 1: through the other side. There's been an active war declared

565
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 1: upon America. My terrorists, you forgotten. I can hear you.

566
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: The rest of the world hear you. And the people

567
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 1: are knocking, filming down while your arm you forgot. No, no, no, no,

568
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: no no, Say I'm gonna die, say your friend when

569
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 1: I'm pretty Have you forgot? God? Dozens of residents that

570
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: are sitting on the hill behind the Pentagon, almost like

571
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: they're waiting for the Fourth of Drive fireworks, but instead

572
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: they're staring, dumpshouted and look like what looks like a

573
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: war result. I mean, you see bodies flying out of

574
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: the sky and you can't do nothing about it. You

575
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,399
Speaker 1: tell me, there's no words to describe what's going on out.

576
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: Have you go? America is a nation full of good fortune,

577
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 1: was so much to be grateful for, but we are

578
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 1: not spared from suffering. In every generation the world has

579
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:23,240
Speaker 1: produced enemies of human freedom. They have attacked America because

580
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: we are freedom's home and defender. Have you for God

581
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 1: and the commitment of our fathers is now the calling

582
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 1: of our time? At this memorial of this sacred earth

583
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: in the field beyond this wall, and in the skies

584
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: above our heads, we remember the moment when America fought back.

585
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:59,320
Speaker 1: We're also joined by members of the National Park Service,

586
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 1: along with firefighters, first responders, and incredible people from law enforcement.

587
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:15,800
Speaker 1: These are truly great people. Some of you here today

588
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 1: answered the call and raced to this field seventeen years ago.

589
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 1: You fill our hearts with pride, and I want to

590
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 1: thank you on behalf of our country. Thank you very much.

591
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: All right, joining us now. He was the police commissioner

592
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: on nine to eleven, two thousand and one in New

593
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: York City, showed incredible heroism and bravery. By the way,

594
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 1: as a brand new book out. It's a novel and

595
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: it's called The Grave Above the Grave and actually comes

596
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 1: from really real life experiences as I've been reading it.

597
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: Of them Bernard characters, Well, what's up, commission how are you?

598
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 1: I'm good, Sean, how are you? It's really good to

599
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: see you. I think back seventeen years ago and I

600
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 1: just it's unimaginable that all of that happened. You know,

601
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 1: we played the song by Daryl Warley. Have you forgotten?

602
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,320
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people sadly have forgotten. I

603
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,879
Speaker 1: think we get further away. You see this guy here

604
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,760
Speaker 1: seventeen years later. Yeah, nothing has happened to Khalid Sheik Muhammad,

605
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 1: who is the mastermind of no trial. Yeah, still waiting

606
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: for trial seventeen years later. Why is he alive? Yeah?

607
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: Who knows? Who knows? Yeah? Um, I just walk us

608
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:21,280
Speaker 1: through that day because you experienced something the worst attack

609
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 1: on American soil in our history. You know it can

610
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,240
Speaker 1: add Pearl Harbor, the second worst, just as bad, horrible

611
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 1: death and destruction, and you nearly died in the process.

612
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 1: I did a couple of times. Actually that morning I

613
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,399
Speaker 1: was in my office when the first plane hit Tower one.

614
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: My chiefest staff, Chompicciano, came in and told me that

615
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: a plane hit the tower. I got to see the

616
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: damage on TV and through one of my conference room windows.

617
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: I called them Mayor. I told him I meet him

618
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 1: downtown at seven World Trade, directly across the street from

619
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 1: Tower one. That's where our commands for your command centerway. Yeah,

620
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: I was. I was going to meet him there. And

621
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 1: jumped in the car down to West Broadway and Vesse

622
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 1: and we were stopped by the cops. A sergeant came

623
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,399
Speaker 1: up to my car and he said, Commissioner, you can't

624
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: pull onto the block. They're jumping. And I hadn't. I

625
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,240
Speaker 1: didn't know what I didn't know what he was talking about,

626
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: and I got out of the vehicle. That was one

627
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 1: of the hardest things to watch. I looked up at one.

628
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:19,240
Speaker 1: In that first few minutes, I watched probably two dozen

629
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: people jumped to their death and they were landing on vesse.

630
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: They were landing in the courtyard between the two buildings

631
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 1: and pretty much disintegrating and uh, well, for those that

632
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 1: don't know, the reason they had to jump is that

633
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: they had jet fuel and they and the fire obviously,

634
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: and they were burning. They were being burnt a lot. Well,

635
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 1: they were not wat sean. It was it was probably

636
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: fifteen hundred to two thousand degrees in that area where

637
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,800
Speaker 1: they were, so they they took what they thought was

638
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: the best route to end it, really because there was

639
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: no living through it. We waited there on that corner.

640
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 1: We backed up the vehicles. I told the Mayor's detail

641
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 1: to meet us on Barkley and West Broadway, and as

642
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 1: I was waiting for him, the second aircraft slammed through

643
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 1: the north side of the tower. So when you see

644
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 1: that big orange fireball blow out the north side of

645
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 1: Tower two, me and my staff Joe loaded the Deputy Mayor,

646
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: we were standing under it. You had no doubt after

647
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: the first plane though, that this was terror. After you

648
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: know what, if the first plane it could be an accident.

649
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,320
Speaker 1: The damage looked too big, you know, they kept saying plane.

650
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: I was thinking, how big? What kind of plane? What

651
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 1: was nobody know at the time? Was it a small

652
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,240
Speaker 1: you know, right? You know? Plane? The people the damage

653
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:35,919
Speaker 1: was enormous. But when the second plane hit, I didn't

654
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 1: actually see the plane. It came from the southern end

655
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 1: of Manhattan and it blew out the north side of

656
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: the building over top of us. But I could hear

657
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: the aviation pilots, the helicopter pilots from the NYPD yelling

658
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: that a second aircraft had just hit Tower two, And

659
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: at that minute, that moment, I knew we were under attack.

660
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: When you think back to that day and your job

661
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 1: at that moment is to lead your guy, and it

662
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 1: that includes fd NY, I mean the fire department. They

663
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 1: lost a ton of people, right, A lot of first

664
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: responders lost their life, and I think the most amazing

665
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: thing to me in that day is everybody else and

666
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,800
Speaker 1: that's in the World Trade Center that rightly they're racing

667
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 1: down to get out of the building. But in the

668
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 1: other direction there's a group of other people, you know what,

669
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 1: And this is I think this is what people just

670
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: can't grasp. Because of the magnitude of the attack, New

671
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: York City first responders, the fire Department, the police Department,

672
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 1: in Port Authority Police effected the greatest rescue mission in

673
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 1: the history of this country. They took twenty to twenty

674
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:40,280
Speaker 1: five thousand people out of those buildings in the immediate area,

675
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: and they evacuated more than a million people into the

676
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 1: four boroughs and into New Jersey under Rudy Giuliani's leadership.

677
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: It was a little over an hour before the towers

678
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: came down, right right, So you didn't have a lot

679
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: of time. But we remember the videos people walking over

680
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: bridges and no exactly, Hey, Shan, you know what, when

681
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 1: the first how we imploded. The Mayor and I, as

682
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:07,760
Speaker 1: you know, we were actually trapped inside seventy five Barkley

683
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 1: on a block away blocked north. He was on the

684
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 1: phone with the White House trying to get the president,

685
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 1: and somebody came on the line, and I remember he

686
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 1: hung up the phone. He looked at me, he said,

687
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 1: this isn't good. I said, what is it? He said,

688
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: somebody just told me that they think the Pentagon got hit.

689
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 1: They're evacuating the White House. And they hung up on me.

690
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: And I was before I could get my head around

691
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 1: what he just said, the first tower came down. The

692
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 1: first hower came down, and it felt like, you know,

693
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,320
Speaker 1: a freight train was coming through the side of the

694
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 1: building we were in. And then then second you can't

695
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: see a thing. You couldn't see nothing, you know. I

696
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: you know, I can look back and laugh now, but

697
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 1: at the time I actually thought, I said, you know,

698
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 1: all the stuff I've been through my life, gun battles, shootouts,

699
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:57,879
Speaker 1: partners shot partner, friends killed in the line of duty,

700
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,479
Speaker 1: and all this stuff, all that stuff, but I'm gonna

701
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: suffocate in this office because there was no way out.

702
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 1: I couldn't breathe, and we were actually trapped in there

703
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:10,839
Speaker 1: for about twenty twenty five minutes. And then we got

704
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: these maintenance guys to open up some doors under you know,

705
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 1: in the basement of the building, and went out onto

706
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 1: Church Street, and I remember getting into one hundred Church

707
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: walking through a vestibule door and there was no sound.

708
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. There was no sound there. It was definitely silent.

709
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 1: Let's talk about those guys. How many first responders, police, firemen,

710
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: port authority cops? You know? I lost? I lost twenty

711
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,839
Speaker 1: three that worked for me. The Port Authority police lost

712
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 1: thirty seven. But the New York City Fire depart Department three,

713
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 1: you know, and in the Mayor and I when we

714
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: got trapped, we actually walked up Church Street to Houston

715
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:57,400
Speaker 1: to the firehouse. That house was locked down, it was complete,

716
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: there wasn't no one in it. They left that to

717
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: me is the story. I gotta take a break, We'll

718
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 1: come back. Bernie Carrica remains with US former NYPD commissioner.

719

00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 1: to eleven, as we remember all that happened that day.

746
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,440

Speaker 1: The Grave Above the Grade. Chilling reminder of what we're

748
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,320
Speaker 1: up against. You know, you have in the midst of evil,

749
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 1: because there's only one way to describe this as evil.

750
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 1: And then you have your guys what you trained for.

751
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 1: And everybody's going one way to get the hell out

752
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,320
Speaker 1: of there, and you guys are going in the opposite direction.

753
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 1: I have to believe that those firemen and policemen knew

754
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:38,320
Speaker 1: that there was a good chance they were going to

755
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 1: their death that day. They had to listen. They're smart people.

756
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 1: They ran from the scene when the stuff fell, right,

757
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 1: and after everything settled after Building two imploded, they went

758
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:54,320
Speaker 1: back to Tower one. They went back into the building,

759
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:58,320
Speaker 1: They went back to the surrounding area to start re evacuating.

760
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:02,840
Speaker 1: You know, there is courage like that is not easy

761
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: to come by, and they knew the perils inherent with

762
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 1: what they were doing. It's amazing. I give I have

763
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 1: a lot of friends of mine and law enforcement, and

764
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 1: then on the fire department, I give them such hell.

765
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 1: I'm a horrible front. I'm like, wait, wait a minute,

766
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,879
Speaker 1: you get twenty four hours on in the twenty four hours.

767
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 1: You get to cook these great meals, you get rack time,

768
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:25,320
Speaker 1: they get to sleep, sometimes not a lot, you know what,

769
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:29,399
Speaker 1: but when they're needed. The one day it was one day,

770
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 1: and and then the one fire, one day and their

771
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 1: life could be over. And it happens. It happens more

772
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 1: often than it should, right u it is. And then

773
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,720
Speaker 1: you know, there was a pretty amazing moment too, because

774
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 1: all these stores started opening up and just feeding all

775
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:48,799
Speaker 1: the first responders. Listen, we held cash, you know, changing hands.

776
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 1: People just stepped up. If there's one thing that bothers

777
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 1: me about what we're going through today, you know, the

778
00:46:55,880 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: political attacks, the persecution of the president, this polarization in

779
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 1: Washington on September eleventh, this was one country, completely, one country.

780
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:12,320
Speaker 1: And we had cops that drove and fireman that drove

781
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:16,320
Speaker 1: from California down to ground zero over a three or

782
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 1: four day period. And I remember going down there at

783
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 1: night and stopping these guys from Oakland, California, and I said,

784
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 1: what are you doing here? Like, how'd you get here?

785
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:28,800
Speaker 1: There's no flights? Yeah, they said, well, my man, here's

786
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 1: got to pick up. And this guy had a car

787
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 1: and we jumped in. We just got on route eighty

788
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 1: headed east until we saw the smoke. One thing I

789
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,359
Speaker 1: remembered is Campbell soup. I mean it may not sound

790
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:41,319
Speaker 1: like a big deal. I eat Campbell soup all the time.

791
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 1: Check a noodle. They set up a soup tent for everybody,

792
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 1: that's right, and they fed them for weeks and weeks

793
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 1: and weeks, and the food came from everywhere, everywhere, everywhere.

794
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:53,839
Speaker 1: You know, it just as a reminder that evil does

795
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 1: exist in the United States. To me, must remain the

796
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 1: strong force for good. I always say, Ernie, that there's

797
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 1: never been a country in the history of man that

798
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 1: has accumulated more power, not only abused it less, but

799
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 1: advanced the human condition for good. Not that we're perfect.

800
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 1: And we saw the worst day that we could imagine,

801
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:16,279
Speaker 1: and then we saw the best in humanity by people

802
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 1: like yourself and the mayor, and all of those firemen

803
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: and policemen, port authority, cops and paramedics that all went there.

804
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 1: It blows me away. And those families never got to

805
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:28,239
Speaker 1: see their families again. It's sad, it is it is,

806
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:31,319
Speaker 1: And all those people killed. I think there's a term,

807
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 1: you know, this term never forget, never forgive, and never

808
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 1: forgive you cannot forgive the people that did this. You

809
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 1: can't forget what their what their mindset is, what their

810
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:46,840
Speaker 1: ideology is, what they want. They want the demise of Israel,

811
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 1: they want the demise of this country. They strongly believe

812
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 1: that if you don't worship the same god they do

813
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 1: the same way they do, they have a right to

814
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 1: kill you. And personally me, I just I'd rather be

815
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 1: on the opposite end. I think we should kill them

816
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 1: first before they kill us. It's interesting your new book

817
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 1: is out the Grave Above the Grave, and it is

818
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 1: about another attack on American soil from a network of

819
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 1: radical Islamic terrorism, so it's really ripped from the headlines.

820
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:17,320
Speaker 1: You are a hero then and you are today, and

821
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:21,040
Speaker 1: I know the course of what you've done, you save lives.

822
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 1: You're also a dear friend of mine. Thank you for

823
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 1: what you did that day. I'll never forget. And everybody else,

824
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:28,919
Speaker 1: And to all the families that lost loved ones, we're

825
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 1: thinking about them today and they're in our prayers. It's

826
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:34,400
Speaker 1: unimaginable these kids grow up with our parents after this,

827
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 1: and you know what, Sean, just, on a personal note,

828
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 1: thank you for what you do, because without your support,

829
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:44,400
Speaker 1: without people like you supporting the first responders. You know,

830
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 1: this is why I hate taking on the FBI every day.

831
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 1: I don't want to like doing it. We live in

832
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 1: a time right now where there's so much anti government,

833
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 1: anti comp sentiment, anti military sentiment by the left. They

834
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 1: need all the support they can get. Ah, you are

835
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:00,760
Speaker 1: a hero that day. Thank you, Thank you, Bernie Carrick.

836
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 1: The book is called The Grave Above the Grave. We'll

837
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 1: put it up on Hannity dot com. We'll take a

838
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 1: quick break, we'll come back, we'll continue. Over the past

839
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 1: few decades, the politics of division, of resentment and paranoia

840
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 1: has unfortunately found a home in the Republican Party. This

841
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 1: Congress has championed the unwinding of campaign finance loss to

842
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 1: give billionaires outside influence over our politics, embraced wild conspiracy

843
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 1: theories right no surrounding Benghazi one more thing if I

844
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 1: made This year, a representative of the House referred to

845
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 1: all loss as just another incident. This year. A network

846
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 1: commented has said the President's performance in Helsinki was the

847
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 1: Traders Act, as was nine to eleven. And last week

848
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 1: a senator attacked the Supreme Court nominee and qual to

849
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:55,360
Speaker 1: him a racist for alleged comments after nine to eleven.

850
00:50:55,880 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 1: Stop stop, please stop using the bones and ashes of

851
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:07,240
Speaker 1: all loved ones as props in your political theater. Their lives,

852
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:11,959
Speaker 1: sacrifices and death. Oh or it's so much more. Let's

853
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:16,399
Speaker 1: not trivilize them or us. It hurts to my mom

854
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 1: and to all of you and your loved ones. Never forget.

855
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 1: You know here it is nine to eleven two what eighteen?

856
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 1: We had nine eleven, two thousand and one, We had

857
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:31,960
Speaker 1: Bernie Kerrig on the program earlier. Then, of course we

858
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 1: know what happened on nine eleven, twenty twelve. And if

859
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 1: you go back and you think about it, well that's

860
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 1: when Benghazi happened. And there you have Baraque Obama claiming, oh,

861
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:44,879
Speaker 1: this is a conspiracy theory. Well we know it wasn't

862
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:47,480
Speaker 1: a conspiracy theory because the people that were there on

863
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 1: the ground that others asked to sign non disclosure agreements,

864
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:56,200
Speaker 1: they've told a very very different story. By the way,

865
00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 1: we have two heroes that we're talking to today. Sean

866
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:00,879
Speaker 1: Parnell is with us. By the way, a Purple Heart

867
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 1: recipient's got a novel out. By the way, it's an

868
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:06,480
Speaker 1: amazing man of war and New York Times best selling

869
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:09,839
Speaker 1: author and also Chris Tanto Peranto, Well, I don't really

870
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 1: like in real life, he's not a nice person. He's

871
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:17,319
Speaker 1: a horrible human being. Actually, thanks brother, aciate that. I'm

872
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 1: gonna come, gonna hang up now. Uh now we've actually

873
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 1: become good friends and we can do that. By the way,

874
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 1: is that story true that your Twitter account was suspended?

875
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:29,319
Speaker 1: What's up with that? Twice in about forty eight hours?

876
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:32,400
Speaker 1: What did you do? I oh, there was a there

877
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 1: was a there's a left a liberal group that that

878
00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 1: was well Rob O'Neil tweeted something and I don't true acts.

879
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:40,800
Speaker 1: People send these things to make we Robo O'Neil is

880
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,200
Speaker 1: the guy that shot Been Lauch. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well

881
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 1: they said, well, Robot during during Obama Space, she couldn't

882
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:50,000
Speaker 1: you know. He said he could say Nazism, neo nazis

883
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 1: him over and over and Rob said, well, yeah, but

884
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:55,759
Speaker 1: neo Nazi, but you still can't say radical Islam. And

885
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 1: then this left his group chimed in, well he did

886
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:01,879
Speaker 1: kill Osama bin Laden to Rob, and obviously this group

887
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 1: did not know who Rob was. And when I read

888
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, I just busted up lasting,

889
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 1: So I mocked him. I said, did you just tell

890
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 1: the guy that shot and sell them in Laden that

891
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:13,480
Speaker 1: you get that Dirk Hussein Obama killed Ben Laden? And

892
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:16,440
Speaker 1: I just laughed and I did say one normal Tano

893
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 1: rangerself president said on Friday, the politics of division and

894
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 1: paranoia is found a home and the Republican Party, and

895
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:27,919
Speaker 1: they've embraced wild conspiracy theories like those surrounding Benghazi. Um, well,

896
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 1: you were there on September eleventh, two thousand and twelve,

897
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 1: and we lost lives that day, and you were given

898
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:39,279
Speaker 1: a stand down order because I've interviewed you enough that

899
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:42,440
Speaker 1: you told me and yeah, all of this happened. And

900
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 1: then you end up in Germany and for the first

901
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:47,479
Speaker 1: time you turn on the TV and you hear people

902
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:51,279
Speaker 1: lying about what had happened there, you know, and at

903
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:54,839
Speaker 1: that point in time, it was sickening, but I turned

904
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:56,880
Speaker 1: it off. Yeah. I think people realized that. They said, well,

905
00:53:56,960 --> 00:53:58,560
Speaker 1: you just wanted to make a book, You just wanted

906
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:01,279
Speaker 1: to Actually I went back served in Yemen for eight

907
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:03,759
Speaker 1: more months. I went and as it took, you know,

908
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 1: to my too much break, and I went and served

909
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 1: again because I figured, you know, I figured at that time,

910
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:10,360
Speaker 1: and I wasn't into politics. Hey, the powers that be

911
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:12,880
Speaker 1: will get disfigured out. I trust them, they're my leaders.

912
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:15,720
Speaker 1: How wrong I could be and how how I started

913
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 1: to see that there was a deep state definitely involved.

914
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 1: And over this last six years, they still are trying

915
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:24,840
Speaker 1: to rewrite history of Benghazi, and that is a slap

916
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:27,360
Speaker 1: in the face, not to just the family members, but

917
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:29,719
Speaker 1: I wouldn't saying to myself. The guys that fought, and

918
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:32,759
Speaker 1: I watched Tyrone and Glenn die, I was shooting over

919
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 1: their heads. They didn't die, you know, And just by

920
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 1: being on the ground with me, I was shooting over

921
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:39,919
Speaker 1: their heads when they were hit with mortars. I saw

922
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:42,480
Speaker 1: those mortars hit and too, so do you just call

923
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:44,880
Speaker 1: it a conspiracy theory and try to rewrite history when

924
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:47,239
Speaker 1: I watched them die and then I helped get their

925
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 1: bodies to the airfield, and I also idd ambassador's bodies

926
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 1: who was dying who died that night as well. Um,

927
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 1: you know, it really offends me, and of course I'm

928
00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 1: good to get angry. Well was the ambassador. Stevens had

929
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:04,600
Speaker 1: requested numerous times additional security, and it was never forthcoming.

930
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 1: That was Hillary Clinton State Department, and here you are

931
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:11,280
Speaker 1: at an annex about a mile away. You know what's

932
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:13,320
Speaker 1: going on. You know this as a terror attack. And

933
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:15,279
Speaker 1: that's why this whole story you want to talk about

934
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:18,280
Speaker 1: a conspiracy theory and Susan Rice going on five Sunday

935
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 1: shows and telling the American people an outright lie. But

936
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:25,800
Speaker 1: based on the best information we have to date, what

937
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 1: our assessment is as of the present is, in fact,

938
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 1: what it began spontaneously in Benghazi as a reaction to

939
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:38,799
Speaker 1: what it transpired some hours earlier in Cairo, where, of course,

940
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:42,239
Speaker 1: as you know, there was a violent protest outside of

941
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 1: our embassy sparked by this hateful video. But soon after

942
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 1: that spontaneous protest began outside of our consulate in Benghazi.

943
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 1: We believe that it looks like extremist elements individuals joined

944
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 1: in that and that effort with heavy weapons of the

945
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:07,279
Speaker 1: sort that are unfortunately readily now available in Libya post revolution,

946
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 1: and that it's spun from there into something much much

947
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:15,759
Speaker 1: more violent. That this was a spontaneous demonstration, It wasn't spontaneous.

948
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 1: People don't show up at demonstrations with grenade launchers in

949
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 1: their back pocket like they did in this particular case exactly.

950
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:25,719
Speaker 1: I mean, let me bring Sean Parnell. Hey, Chris, it's

951
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:27,880
Speaker 1: great to finally get a chance to meet you on

952
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:32,160
Speaker 1: the Great Sean Hannity's radio show. It's pretty amazing and YouTube, right,

953
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:34,480
Speaker 1: you know, I thank for your service. I admire you.

954
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 1: You're a hero, my friend. And likewise, well, by the way,

955
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:39,800
Speaker 1: for those that don't know, and I think it's important,

956
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 1: I was going to bring those up. Sean Parnell's Army

957
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 1: unit served in Afghanistan was the subject of the book

958
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 1: national bestseller called Outlaw Platoon, And it was nine to

959
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:56,239
Speaker 1: eleven two thousand and one that inspired you to join

960
00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 1: the army to defend this country. And you had what

961
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 1: four hundred five day deployment two thousand and six and seven. Yep,

962
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:06,280
Speaker 1: you're the only a single member of your platoon was killed.

963
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:09,560
Speaker 1: And since returning home, three members of the platoon have

964
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 1: taken their own lives. And there's some two hundred and

965
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:16,440
Speaker 1: fifty plus thousand men because we over deployed them all right, correct,

966
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 1: And PTSD is real and these guys are struggling to

967
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 1: this day. Well, I mean that is why I part

968
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 1: of the reason why I made the jump into fiction

969
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:26,720
Speaker 1: with Man of War because, by the way, I have

970
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 1: to say, it's surreal to see a Man of War

971
00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:30,760
Speaker 1: in the shelves and the fiction shelves right next to

972
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 1: Bob Woodward's book. But but I will say that's that's

973
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:37,960
Speaker 1: the reason why I wrote that book, a mainstream fiction story.

974
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 1: Who Eric Steo is my hero, but he embodies the

975
00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 1: greatness of the warrior ethos that that Chris you and

976
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 1: I have you know, aspired to hold true too when

977
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 1: we were in the military. He embodies everything that is

978
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:55,360
Speaker 1: great about the American character. And you know, after September eleventh,

979
00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 1: the most horrific terrorist attack on our nation's history, I mean,

980
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:01,680
Speaker 1: what really stuck with me that day was how the

981
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:05,600
Speaker 1: first responders responded to it. Police officers, firefighters, just ordinary

982
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 1: American citizens who on that day and my eyes became

983
00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:11,320
Speaker 1: extraordinary because instead of running away from the flames that day,

984
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 1: they ran headlong into them. And many of the people

985
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 1: that went into the flames that day never escaped a

986
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 1: game with their lives. And I just feel like, you know,

987
00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:20,560
Speaker 1: that inspired me to serve my country, serve something greater

988
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:22,280
Speaker 1: than myself, and take the fight to the enemy. For

989
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:24,240
Speaker 1: a year, and a half. But but it also inspired

990
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:27,160
Speaker 1: me to write a great to me, a fiction book,

991
00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:29,840
Speaker 1: with a mainstream fiction book, with a character that actually

992
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:32,160
Speaker 1: loves this country, because I don't feel like there's enough

993
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:33,880
Speaker 1: of that in our culture today. Well I agree with that,

994
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 1: and you know, look, I though I don't in retrospect,

995
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 1: I'm not willing to sudden guys to war anymore. If

996
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:41,200
Speaker 1: we're going to fight to win the war. Look we

997
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:44,760
Speaker 1: have you're exactly right willing. Look, we have a moral

998
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 1: responsibility in this country that when we send soldiers to war,

999
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:51,840
Speaker 1: it win it, because otherwise you have guys coming home

1000
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:54,400
Speaker 1: in question what it was for in the first place.

1001
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:57,080
Speaker 1: For decades, how many are back here with no legs,

1002
00:58:57,160 --> 00:59:00,080
Speaker 1: no arms, with their faces disfigured for the rest to

1003
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 1: their lives. Thus, thousands of thousands and then others never

1004
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 1: came home, or they came home in pieces in a

1005
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:09,000
Speaker 1: box with an American flag draped over it. We ask

1006
00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 1: people to step up and fight for their country, and

1007
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,600
Speaker 1: then we don't back them, and we politicize our wars,

1008
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:16,720
Speaker 1: and then we pull out and we don't we don't

1009
00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:19,160
Speaker 1: finish the job. It's maddening because here, here, we are

1010
00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:23,080
Speaker 1: in Afghanistan, the longest war in American history, seventeen plus years.

1011
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:26,240
Speaker 1: We win every battle on the ground, but somehow, somehow,

1012
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:27,840
Speaker 1: in my eyes, were losing the war because we have

1013
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:30,720
Speaker 1: the wrong strategy, because we've we've we've let our politicians

1014
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:32,440
Speaker 1: take over the war as opposed to letting what do

1015
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:35,080
Speaker 1: you think happened? Fifty eight thousand kids died in Vietnam?

1016
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 1: Fifty eight thousand. Then a war becomes politicized, and what

1017
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:39,680
Speaker 1: do we do? We pulled out. Yeah, And honestly, that

1018
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:41,920
Speaker 1: the same thing that happened. It's the same tragedy that

1019
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:45,080
Speaker 1: happened with Chris right. You know, you have politicians involved

1020
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 1: where they shouldn't be. In the case of President Obama,

1021
00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 1: he violated a sacred trust. If you're if your boys

1022
00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:53,080
Speaker 1: are under attack and they were being shot at and

1023
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 1: they were being overwhelmed, you send in the cavalry. And

1024
00:59:56,760 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 1: not only did President Obama, by the way, the commander

1025
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:02,160
Speaker 1: in chief, the first the first first, Ye, yeah, tyle,

1026
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:05,200
Speaker 1: he's a commander of duty and obligation and responsibility to

1027
01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:07,600
Speaker 1: the men and women in uniform to be there for

1028
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:09,560
Speaker 1: him when they need it most and in your most

1029
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 1: dire moment, Chris, he was not there, and not only

1030
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:14,520
Speaker 1: that he lied about it. How did the personnel react

1031
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:18,120
Speaker 1: to being told to stand down? They were furious. So

1032
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:20,760
Speaker 1: the military is told to stand down, not engage with

1033
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 1: the fight. These are the kind of people willing to engage.

1034
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:27,960
Speaker 1: What did Where'd that message come down? Where'd the standown

1035
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:31,480
Speaker 1: order come from? I believe it came from either Africa

1036
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:34,280
Speaker 1: or South Africa? So so how many times did you

1037
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:37,840
Speaker 1: guys attempt to go help out Ambassador Stevens and this

1038
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:43,640
Speaker 1: compound that was under under enemy attack? Officially there was three.

1039
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:46,440
Speaker 1: There was actually two weights and a stand down. So

1040
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:48,840
Speaker 1: if you want to say officially, but for thirty minutes

1041
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:50,880
Speaker 1: we were we were trying to get out the gate.

1042
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 1: But if you want to say an actual hey, we

1043
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:55,120
Speaker 1: need to go to our leadership, our chief and our

1044
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:57,200
Speaker 1: team leader. No you're not go and wait all right,

1045
01:00:57,280 --> 01:01:00,160
Speaker 1: we'll wait. There was actually three different specific times who

1046
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:02,160
Speaker 1: are the weights to meet? Kake got the stand down,

1047
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:04,000
Speaker 1: and then we finally just said, you know, to hell

1048
01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:06,600
Speaker 1: with it, we're going guys. This is when you hear

1049
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:09,200
Speaker 1: your buddy and I know, I know Sean's heard this

1050
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:12,160
Speaker 1: before as well, that radio call and it doesn't even

1051
01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 1: to be even any experts. It's just the voice that's

1052
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:17,320
Speaker 1: just put that chills up your spine, and said then

1053
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 1: and when Alec the State Department officer who had barricaded

1054
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:23,560
Speaker 1: himself and the Tackle operations, the tackle operations started, the

1055
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:26,080
Speaker 1: consulate said jis which was us. You know what, we

1056
01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:28,439
Speaker 1: are a global responsor. If you said grs, you don't

1057
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 1: get here, We're all gonna f and die. The whole

1058
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:33,120
Speaker 1: teams like, to hell with this, We're going now. And

1059
01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:35,880
Speaker 1: we knew, we knew that if any of us died

1060
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:38,960
Speaker 1: over there, because we're contractors, we would get no insurance,

1061
01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:42,280
Speaker 1: no life the church, if webb get no health insurance

1062
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:43,960
Speaker 1: because we just so, we would be different. But you

1063
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:46,200
Speaker 1: still but here here you but you knew your fellow

1064
01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:49,520
Speaker 1: Americans were under fire. You knew that they needed help.

1065
01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:52,240
Speaker 1: You had the ability to help them. It's a you're

1066
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:55,120
Speaker 1: a mile away, you're the first, You're it. You're the

1067
01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 1: only line of defense they have. Ultimately, you ended up

1068
01:01:58,600 --> 01:02:01,160
Speaker 1: saving dozens of lives I was in the process. Yeah,

1069
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:04,880
Speaker 1: people that otherwise would have died. You lost people very

1070
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:07,960
Speaker 1: close to you in that firefight. That that took the

1071
01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:10,400
Speaker 1: same risk that you did. And then you get to

1072
01:02:10,560 --> 01:02:13,200
Speaker 1: Germany after you've flown out of there, and the next

1073
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:15,240
Speaker 1: thing you hear is your government lying to you about

1074
01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 1: the whole incident. They made it up. And still still

1075
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:21,040
Speaker 1: all of us had had the tests of fortitude to

1076
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:24,160
Speaker 1: put that aside, at least initially. We can only call

1077
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:26,520
Speaker 1: seals and rangers and marines wires for so long before

1078
01:02:26,560 --> 01:02:29,600
Speaker 1: we finally have had it, which is about eight months.

1079
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:31,240
Speaker 1: I'll give you that. That's that's how long it is

1080
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:33,840
Speaker 1: a date month. And but we still have been test

1081
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:37,000
Speaker 1: of forded to put that aside and still trust our leadership,

1082
01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:39,840
Speaker 1: even though deep down inside because I've been deploying at

1083
01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:42,280
Speaker 1: that point, I've been deploying for ten years, ten years,

1084
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:47,440
Speaker 1: had been deploying Afghanistan, iraq U, Libya and then also Yemen.

1085
01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:50,520
Speaker 1: But we still have the the in test fortitude to

1086
01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:53,080
Speaker 1: put that aside. So you know, they're gonna get this right.

1087
01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:56,240
Speaker 1: This is America. They're still our leaders no matter who's

1088
01:02:56,280 --> 01:02:58,720
Speaker 1: in office. There's still you know, barbacks, and they're going

1089
01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:01,480
Speaker 1: to get distigued. That's the them. They they're not showing

1090
01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:03,080
Speaker 1: that we have their backs. I will take a break

1091
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:05,240
Speaker 1: at more in just a second here as we continue

1092
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:07,680
Speaker 1: with the Sean Hannity Show. All right, lets we continue

1093
01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:11,320
Speaker 1: with Chris Tanto Paranto and Sean Parnell. Look, I actually

1094
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:13,080
Speaker 1: have another idea, and I want to run a buy

1095
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:15,640
Speaker 1: both of you and my kid, Chris Tanto Paranto a lot,

1096
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:18,320
Speaker 1: because he's like the little brother that I never had.

1097
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 1: But you didn't, no, I did. I mean, I'll choke

1098
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:24,920
Speaker 1: your ass out, and you know it. Well, you know

1099
01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:27,320
Speaker 1: that I trained like a maniac. But I mean I'm

1100
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:28,960
Speaker 1: glad that you're on the other side of the desk.

1101
01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:30,960
Speaker 1: Oh you're full of crap. You could kick my ass.

1102
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 1: But the point is, here's the thing. We got to

1103
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:36,320
Speaker 1: start building the technology so we don't have to send

1104
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:39,240
Speaker 1: men and women door to door anymore. We gotta stop.

1105
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:41,560
Speaker 1: It's a tough fight, yeah, door to door fighting military

1106
01:03:41,600 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 1: operations on the matanus. We now have to fight with

1107
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:47,000
Speaker 1: the best technology. We should never send boots on the

1108
01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:49,280
Speaker 1: ground in the situation like we did in Iraq ever

1109
01:03:49,360 --> 01:03:51,800
Speaker 1: again or Afghanistan. Well, I mean it's true. I mean

1110
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 1: you need some but you don't know. Look, I mean

1111
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:57,520
Speaker 1: we we we drove around in Afghanistan in regular Humbies

1112
01:03:57,520 --> 01:04:00,600
Speaker 1: pickup truck pickup truck humbies, and we're getting ambush by

1113
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:03,560
Speaker 1: were they up armored? No, and we're getting ambushed by

1114
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:06,080
Speaker 1: enemy elements that were three times our size riding around

1115
01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:07,280
Speaker 1: in the back of the trucks. Were like, we're the

1116
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:09,600
Speaker 1: Beverly Hillbillies. And it wasn't until six or seven months

1117
01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:11,960
Speaker 1: into the deployment where he finally got the equipment that

1118
01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:15,160
Speaker 1: we needed. But how many men and women were wounded?

1119
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:17,760
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, equipment. I couldn't believe how long it took

1120
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:21,200
Speaker 1: these uh humbies to get up armored. I couldn't believe it. Yeah,

1121
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:23,160
Speaker 1: here's the other thing. So if it's me and I

1122
01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:26,840
Speaker 1: want to show those me and Toronto Tonto Pronto in

1123
01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:30,160
Speaker 1: a fight, who's gonna win me? Right? Uh? Yes, Sean.

1124
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:32,040
Speaker 1: Is it a war of words, because it's a war.

1125
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:34,200
Speaker 1: If it's the war of words, maybe no, I'm now.

1126
01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:36,439
Speaker 1: If it's a war of fisticuffs, I think you're done.

1127
01:04:36,560 --> 01:04:39,840
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I've been training for six years up. Now.

1128
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:41,680
Speaker 1: You better hope he doesn't have the ability to reach

1129
01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:44,840
Speaker 1: through that microphone and choke you. Will I'll grab his

1130
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:48,440
Speaker 1: carrotted and I'll rip it out of his neck. I'm

1131
01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:51,960
Speaker 1: just gonna be caught here and that humble profession. What

1132
01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:53,919
Speaker 1: the best thing is, I'll just fill him. I've seen

1133
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:57,320
Speaker 1: him professional, listen, I've seen him out drinking. As much

1134
01:04:57,360 --> 01:04:58,720
Speaker 1: as I enjoy all of this, I need you to

1135
01:04:58,760 --> 01:05:01,280
Speaker 1: say goodbye. So if we could do that'd be great. Sean,

1136
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:03,280
Speaker 1: It's great to see you, but I'm not I'm not

1137
01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:07,120
Speaker 1: going to me with right there. That's right, all right.

1138
01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:10,200
Speaker 1: I kind of like I like, I kind of like Tonto,

1139
01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:13,880
Speaker 1: but I really like Sean. I'm just saying name, the

1140
01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:15,640
Speaker 1: same name, and we spell it the same right, the

1141
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:18,080
Speaker 1: right way, all right, love you both, Thank you, and

1142
01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:21,520
Speaker 1: thanks for what you did. Back what was it now,

1143
01:05:21,880 --> 01:05:25,320
Speaker 1: six years ago? Unbelievable eight hundred nine for one Sean

1144
01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:27,840
Speaker 1: Tolfrey telephone number. We'll take a quick break. Welcome back,

1145
01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:31,440
Speaker 1: we'll continue. Glad you're with us. Joining us now is

1146
01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:34,960
Speaker 1: Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch. He is the president of

1147
01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:37,480
Speaker 1: Judicial Watch. Welcome back to the program, sir. How are you.

1148
01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:39,760
Speaker 1: I'm doing wel how are you today? I'm good. So

1149
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:43,240
Speaker 1: now we know in the latest struck page messages back

1150
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:46,240
Speaker 1: and forth that there was coordination, the coordination between the

1151
01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:50,400
Speaker 1: DOJ and the FBI to actually have a media leak

1152
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 1: strategy with an ongoing investigation with evidence that was never proven.

1153
01:05:56,600 --> 01:05:59,120
Speaker 1: On top of of course, using the phony Steel dossier

1154
01:05:59,240 --> 01:06:01,440
Speaker 1: to get the FISA rants and everything in between. This

1155
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:04,920
Speaker 1: is about as corrupt as anything I've ever seen and

1156
01:06:05,040 --> 01:06:07,680
Speaker 1: the biggest abuse of power in our history. And the

1157
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:09,920
Speaker 1: question is where do we go from here? You know,

1158
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:13,080
Speaker 1: I in a jest world, the Muller investigation would end

1159
01:06:13,200 --> 01:06:14,920
Speaker 1: or at least pause. I mean, just think if this

1160
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:17,480
Speaker 1: is a regular criminal investigation at the state level, and

1161
01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:21,240
Speaker 1: you had the cops, you know, Strucking Company engaged in

1162
01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:26,720
Speaker 1: such outrageous misconduct abusing their authority going after someone because

1163
01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:30,120
Speaker 1: the political bias, the prosecution would stop, the courts would

1164
01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:33,240
Speaker 1: step in and stop it. And I'm I think frankly,

1165
01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:35,960
Speaker 1: our friends in Congress, Shan you just spend less time

1166
01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 1: talking about Struck Page Comy and the rest and more

1167
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 1: time talking about what mister Muller is doing. Based on

1168
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:46,400
Speaker 1: all of the crooked activities by that gang. Well we

1169
01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:50,600
Speaker 1: now know, but it's all tied together but for their corruption. Listen,

1170
01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:53,520
Speaker 1: it's all true. But we've got to build out the story,

1171
01:06:53,720 --> 01:06:57,240
Speaker 1: and each piece puts the puzzle together. We have now

1172
01:06:57,360 --> 01:07:00,200
Speaker 1: framed in that puzzle and now we're just fill in

1173
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:02,080
Speaker 1: the final pieces of the puzzle. But what we know

1174
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:06,280
Speaker 1: is breathtaking, and that is you had a group of people,

1175
01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:09,200
Speaker 1: and we have an insurance policy group. You had Struck,

1176
01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:12,840
Speaker 1: you had Page, ed Comey, you had McCabe and other

1177
01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:16,800
Speaker 1: people than Bruce or and Sally Yates and Christopher Steele.

1178
01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:20,040
Speaker 1: But two of the people were involved in exonerating Hillary

1179
01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:22,600
Speaker 1: when we know she committed felonies to keep their favorite

1180
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:26,720
Speaker 1: candidate in the race. Hillary Clinton funds the money, funnels

1181
01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:29,640
Speaker 1: money which I would argue as a campaign finance violation

1182
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:33,280
Speaker 1: through a law firm to Fusion GPS Glenn Simpson, and

1183
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:35,800
Speaker 1: then he eyes Christopher Steele. What is the one thing

1184
01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 1: all of these people have in common. Struck, Page and

1185
01:07:39,320 --> 01:07:43,040
Speaker 1: or Nellior works for Fusion GPS, Glenn Simpson, Christopher Steele.

1186
01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:45,920
Speaker 1: They all hate Donald Trump. They never wanted him to

1187
01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:49,560
Speaker 1: be president. Now then you get this staciate is put together,

1188
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:53,480
Speaker 1: which eventually we discover that Christopher Steele doesn't even believe himself.

1189
01:07:53,760 --> 01:07:56,200
Speaker 1: That becomes the basis for a Fizer warrant to spy

1190
01:07:56,440 --> 01:07:59,520
Speaker 1: on a Trump campaign associate. And then of course, they

1191
01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:02,560
Speaker 1: never verified, they never corroborate. All of these things happen,

1192
01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:05,400
Speaker 1: and they're telling us it's true. Now, we might get

1193
01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:07,960
Speaker 1: that information sooner rather than later, and I hope we do.

1194
01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:10,800
Speaker 1: And then we find out that Or stays in touch

1195
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:13,880
Speaker 1: with Christopher Steele was fired for lying and leaking, and

1196
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:17,519
Speaker 1: that they're talking about firewalls so they don't get caught.

1197
01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:20,120
Speaker 1: They're afraid they're going to get exposed. And I think

1198
01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:22,960
Speaker 1: the single most dangerous piece of information we now have

1199
01:08:23,280 --> 01:08:26,960
Speaker 1: is that Steele was funneling his lies through the FBI

1200
01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:31,360
Speaker 1: into the hands of Muller's team VISA V. Andrew Weissman,

1201
01:08:31,479 --> 01:08:34,080
Speaker 1: and he's asking Or about, well, you know, did you

1202
01:08:34,160 --> 01:08:37,160
Speaker 1: get my information to the SC the Special Council. Well

1203
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:39,840
Speaker 1: you may not have noticed, but last week Judicial Watch

1204
01:08:39,880 --> 01:08:43,479
Speaker 1: obtained new documents from the FBI. They were trying, it

1205
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:46,439
Speaker 1: looks like, to rehabilitate Steel, but they found that they

1206
01:08:46,479 --> 01:08:49,960
Speaker 1: couldn't really believe in the dossier. And this is prior,

1207
01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:53,160
Speaker 1: this is subsequent to other documents we found, and this

1208
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:56,759
Speaker 1: is a quote from the documents. The FBI said Steele

1209
01:08:57,000 --> 01:09:00,680
Speaker 1: was deemed not suitable as a confidentially human source, and

1210
01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:03,960
Speaker 1: he was not to collect intelligence on behalf or for

1211
01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:07,920
Speaker 1: the FBI. So this is the FBI's own documents showing

1212
01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:10,720
Speaker 1: that Steel was to be kept away from Andy, as

1213
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:14,120
Speaker 1: you point out, corruptly continue to use them anyway. One

1214
01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:17,080
Speaker 1: intermediate step that can be done is the Office of

1215
01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:20,240
Speaker 1: Special Council, which is charged with making sure that put

1216
01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:23,879
Speaker 1: federal officials don't abuse their offices to advance a political agenda,

1217
01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:27,200
Speaker 1: like under the hatch ac for instance, which prohibits political

1218
01:09:27,280 --> 01:09:30,720
Speaker 1: activities by federal employees, and most circumstances, can conduct a

1219
01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:34,560
Speaker 1: criminal or serious investigation into what Struck was up to.

1220
01:09:34,960 --> 01:09:38,519
Speaker 1: He clearly had anti Trump bias. He clearly was using

1221
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:42,000
Speaker 1: FBI resources to advance that bias to stop Trump as

1222
01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:45,000
Speaker 1: he says, and have an insurance policy. The Office of

1223
01:09:45,080 --> 01:09:48,040
Speaker 1: Special Council, which is not in a Justice department, can

1224
01:09:48,080 --> 01:09:51,200
Speaker 1: conduct an independent criminal investigation. So that I think that's

1225
01:09:51,320 --> 01:09:53,640
Speaker 1: one area that we can draw our attension to, or

1226
01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:57,799
Speaker 1: draw attention to as an opportunity for more accountability for Struck,

1227
01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:01,000
Speaker 1: because he has zero credibility. His lawyers are telling us,

1228
01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:03,839
Speaker 1: don't believe what you're reading his emails and text messages,

1229
01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:06,720
Speaker 1: and obviously that's not persuasive. Even the FBI had to

1230
01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:09,360
Speaker 1: let him go because it didn't become credible anymore. So

1231
01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:12,320
Speaker 1: we just got to keep the pressure on Sean here

1232
01:10:12,640 --> 01:10:14,720
Speaker 1: and if I were, you know, and if they don't

1233
01:10:14,720 --> 01:10:16,679
Speaker 1: want to focus on Muller, bring him in and ask

1234
01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:19,639
Speaker 1: him some questions. Why did you keep Struck on? Why

1235
01:10:19,680 --> 01:10:22,080
Speaker 1: did you fire Why is he keeping Andrew Weisman on?

1236
01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:25,760
Speaker 1: Weisman who's caught up in this in terms of potentially

1237
01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:30,040
Speaker 1: leaking information in the middle of the campaign to friendly media. Oh,

1238
01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:32,160
Speaker 1: I think that's the worst part. Let me go through,

1239
01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:36,040
Speaker 1: because you put out a release yesterday on the letter

1240
01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 1: that we know was sent to Rod Rosenstein by Congressman

1241
01:10:39,439 --> 01:10:42,200
Speaker 1: Mark Meadows. I mean, I think this is very revealing

1242
01:10:42,320 --> 01:10:46,320
Speaker 1: that the FBI agent Peter Struck is contacting Lisa Page's

1243
01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:50,040
Speaker 1: girlfriend and discussing their words a media league strategy. The

1244
01:10:50,160 --> 01:10:54,439
Speaker 1: tech says specifically, I had literally just gone to find

1245
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:56,760
Speaker 1: this phone to tell you that I want to talk

1246
01:10:56,800 --> 01:11:00,400
Speaker 1: about the media league strategy with the DOJ before you go.

1247
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:03,320
Speaker 1: The next day, the league comes out in the Washington Post.

1248
01:11:03,720 --> 01:11:06,600
Speaker 1: Then the day after that, Struck congratulates Page on a

1249
01:11:06,720 --> 01:11:10,080
Speaker 1: good job while referencing and referring to the two derogatory

1250
01:11:10,280 --> 01:11:13,599
Speaker 1: articles about Carter page in the text, Struck his warning

1251
01:11:13,720 --> 01:11:16,920
Speaker 1: page that two articles are coming out, one is worse

1252
01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:21,360
Speaker 1: than the other about Lisa's namesake and added well done. Page.

1253
01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:24,599
Speaker 1: So you have people in the FBI coordinating with the DOJ,

1254
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:27,960
Speaker 1: and now we know that they that Christopher Steele in

1255
01:11:28,040 --> 01:11:30,839
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice of coordinating with the special counsel.

1256
01:11:30,920 --> 01:11:33,640
Speaker 1: How can they investigate? How do you have Rod Rosenstein

1257
01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:36,640
Speaker 1: in there when Rod signed the fourth Fizer warrant and

1258
01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:39,240
Speaker 1: appointed Muller and as a witness as relates to the

1259
01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:42,880
Speaker 1: firing of Komy right, and Struck is no, he's not

1260
01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:46,120
Speaker 1: just your regular FBI agent. He was running the Russian

1261
01:11:46,160 --> 01:11:50,439
Speaker 1: investigation at an operational level for for the FBI is

1262
01:11:50,520 --> 01:11:54,560
Speaker 1: traveling overseas. Who was running the Clinton investigation? Concurrently, we

1263
01:11:54,680 --> 01:11:58,320
Speaker 1: just said, documents come out showing that Struck drafted the

1264
01:11:58,400 --> 01:12:01,800
Speaker 1: initial letter that Komey sent the Congress reopening the Clinton

1265
01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:06,360
Speaker 1: email issue with the Wiener laptop fight. And now we

1266
01:12:06,479 --> 01:12:08,320
Speaker 1: just food for all the Wiener stuff because it looks

1267
01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:09,920
Speaker 1: like it was structed and want to look at all

1268
01:12:09,920 --> 01:12:14,320
Speaker 1: of that. According to the ig that investigation against Clinton

1269
01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:19,800
Speaker 1: was curtailed. Perhaps because the IG admits I think it's

1270
01:12:19,840 --> 01:12:23,360
Speaker 1: more direct of the bias that Struck had against President Trump.

1271
01:12:23,560 --> 01:12:26,200
Speaker 1: He didn't want the Wiener laptop. Find that all the

1272
01:12:26,240 --> 01:12:29,599
Speaker 1: Clinton emails were on Wiener's laptop, which is outrageous now

1273
01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:32,479
Speaker 1: that we know the eighteen classified emails were on that system.

1274
01:12:32,840 --> 01:12:35,280
Speaker 1: Get in a way with his get Trump Russia operation.

1275
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:37,960
Speaker 1: Let me bring Sarah Carter in. Sarah pa that out

1276
01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:40,920
Speaker 1: not us, the IG did Sarah Carter, and I'm told

1277
01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:43,439
Speaker 1: that there. I just read the two text messages that

1278
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:47,000
Speaker 1: you broke yesterday. But now we've got more text messages

1279
01:12:47,080 --> 01:12:48,960
Speaker 1: that you have that are going to be coming out tonight,

1280
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:51,840
Speaker 1: and these two go even deeper. Can you give us

1281
01:12:51,880 --> 01:12:53,599
Speaker 1: a preview of what you're going to tell us? Well,

1282
01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:55,280
Speaker 1: I can give you a few hints. I mean it

1283
01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:57,439
Speaker 1: does go deeper. I think we're going to see a

1284
01:12:57,520 --> 01:13:00,920
Speaker 1: lot more with regard to higher level of shine at

1285
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:05,880
Speaker 1: the FBI involved with Peter Struck and Lisa Page and

1286
01:13:06,080 --> 01:13:09,960
Speaker 1: coordinating with the DOJ. I think this is very significant

1287
01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:14,040
Speaker 1: because once again, once again, everything that they have been

1288
01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:18,880
Speaker 1: attempting to say to Congress or keeping from Congress, now

1289
01:13:18,960 --> 01:13:21,519
Speaker 1: they're getting caught. So they're basically getting caught with their

1290
01:13:21,520 --> 01:13:24,040
Speaker 1: foot in their own mouth. This is something that Peter

1291
01:13:24,120 --> 01:13:27,880
Speaker 1: Structs attorney, tried to admit. This was about how to

1292
01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:31,880
Speaker 1: prevent leaks, not about leaks. But there's just too much

1293
01:13:31,960 --> 01:13:37,880
Speaker 1: information here. There's not even circumstantial evidence. It's very solid evidence.

1294
01:13:37,960 --> 01:13:40,439
Speaker 1: Not only that in the in the text messages that

1295
01:13:40,560 --> 01:13:43,080
Speaker 1: I understand are coming out today, they actually talk about

1296
01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:46,320
Speaker 1: the name of the reporters involved in this absolutely and

1297
01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:49,400
Speaker 1: Struts and Strugs boss is mentioned in all of this,

1298
01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:52,400
Speaker 1: and meaning that he knew about it absolutely. And you know,

1299
01:13:52,520 --> 01:13:55,320
Speaker 1: so we know now that McCabe was well aware of

1300
01:13:55,439 --> 01:13:58,799
Speaker 1: what was going on. We understand now that Lisa Page

1301
01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:03,840
Speaker 1: and Peter Struck were actively speaking with Bruce Orr, who

1302
01:14:04,040 --> 01:14:07,400
Speaker 1: was a back channel for Christopher Steele. And Tom Fitton

1303
01:14:07,479 --> 01:14:10,519
Speaker 1: put it so perfectly when he was saying that, you know,

1304
01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:15,080
Speaker 1: it's Look, we have documents that show documents from the

1305
01:14:15,360 --> 01:14:19,679
Speaker 1: FBI themselves. This is not conspiracy theory. This is the truth.

1306
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:23,200
Speaker 1: Documents that say Christopher Steele should no longer be used

1307
01:14:23,280 --> 01:14:26,519
Speaker 1: as a source. He's not trustworthy. I can tell you this.

1308
01:14:27,320 --> 01:14:30,920
Speaker 1: Months ago, I spoke to intelligence officials who worked with

1309
01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:33,760
Speaker 1: Christopher Steele. Directly while he was still a part of

1310
01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:36,920
Speaker 1: m I six, And they didn't have great things to

1311
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:40,760
Speaker 1: say about Christopher Steele. They didn't use the spin. They

1312
01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:42,960
Speaker 1: thought he was a blowhard, they didn't believe half of

1313
01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:45,439
Speaker 1: what he was saying half the time. And let me

1314
01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:47,920
Speaker 1: tell you this, Christopher Steele got most of his information

1315
01:14:48,040 --> 01:14:50,760
Speaker 1: from Russians. So this is what I'm having a really

1316
01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:54,120
Speaker 1: difficult time understanding. We have the left and a lot

1317
01:14:54,200 --> 01:14:58,439
Speaker 1: of people that are anti Trumpers, are never Trumpers, saying, oh,

1318
01:14:58,560 --> 01:15:01,320
Speaker 1: we shouldn't believe this, say alluded with the Russians, and

1319
01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:04,519
Speaker 1: even though there's no evidence there whatsoever that they collude

1320
01:15:04,520 --> 01:15:07,759
Speaker 1: to with Russians, but they're willing to believe Russian lies,

1321
01:15:08,080 --> 01:15:12,120
Speaker 1: basically Russian lives delivered by a foreign intelligence And now

1322
01:15:12,160 --> 01:15:15,240
Speaker 1: we have people within the FBI at the senior level

1323
01:15:15,479 --> 01:15:19,000
Speaker 1: and the DOJ in text messages. This isn't stuff that

1324
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:21,320
Speaker 1: we're making up. This isn't a dossier that was put

1325
01:15:21,360 --> 01:15:25,519
Speaker 1: together by some right wing Trump supporter. This is their

1326
01:15:25,600 --> 01:15:29,280
Speaker 1: own words, actually exposing these people for who they are

1327
01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:31,240
Speaker 1: and for what they were doing and how they were

1328
01:15:31,280 --> 01:15:36,639
Speaker 1: subverting the United States Constitution, the laws that garner this land.

1329
01:15:37,160 --> 01:15:41,080
Speaker 1: They were actually subverting it, malfeasance within these departments that

1330
01:15:41,200 --> 01:15:44,080
Speaker 1: we trust, that we give all our trust to. I mean,

1331
01:15:44,120 --> 01:15:46,720
Speaker 1: this is September eleventh, me go back day that we

1332
01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:49,240
Speaker 1: remember all those people. And here we have people at

1333
01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:52,880
Speaker 1: the highest levels in these agencies that are playing these games.

1334
01:15:53,080 --> 01:15:55,080
Speaker 1: Not the foot soldiers, not the people that are down

1335
01:15:55,120 --> 01:15:57,200
Speaker 1: on the ground fighting, but the people at the top.

1336
01:15:57,280 --> 01:15:59,120
Speaker 1: All Right, as we take a break here, we'll come

1337
01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:03,040
Speaker 1: back with Sarah cart and with Tom Fitton. Right as

1338
01:16:03,040 --> 01:16:06,120
Speaker 1: we continue, Tom Fitton, Sarah Carter, remain eight hundred nine

1339
01:16:06,160 --> 01:16:07,800
Speaker 1: four one, Shawn, your calls at the bottom of this

1340
01:16:07,840 --> 01:16:10,680
Speaker 1: samp hour. Let me go to your Discovery Freedom of

1341
01:16:10,760 --> 01:16:15,280
Speaker 1: Information Act in Judicial Watch. If Anthony Wiener's laptop contain

1342
01:16:15,439 --> 01:16:18,160
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of emails, do we know if any

1343
01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:22,160
Speaker 1: of them had any Hillary emails in there, Uma Aberdeen

1344
01:16:22,240 --> 01:16:25,679
Speaker 1: and emails in there? And when do we get ahold

1345
01:16:25,720 --> 01:16:28,880
Speaker 1: of those emails? Well, they've given us all the State

1346
01:16:28,960 --> 01:16:31,960
Speaker 1: the State Department received from the FBI, the emails that

1347
01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:36,559
Speaker 1: were State Department documents supposedly potentially responsive, and they gave

1348
01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:42,320
Speaker 1: us many hundreds of records, including at least eighteen classified

1349
01:16:42,520 --> 01:16:46,120
Speaker 1: documents that were from the Clinton email server present on

1350
01:16:46,200 --> 01:16:50,439
Speaker 1: Anthony Winer's laptop. The classified material included the identity of

1351
01:16:50,479 --> 01:16:55,599
Speaker 1: a CIA operative, so pretty sensitive classified material. And if, frankly,

1352
01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:58,040
Speaker 1: if anyone else had classified material, will set up a

1353
01:16:58,080 --> 01:17:01,560
Speaker 1: system that allow classified material not only to be accessible

1354
01:17:01,640 --> 01:17:05,080
Speaker 1: to the public essentially on your own server because it

1355
01:17:05,200 --> 01:17:08,360
Speaker 1: was so insecure, but then was placed on other systems

1356
01:17:08,439 --> 01:17:12,520
Speaker 1: like Anthony Wiener's laptop. You would have been arrested. Hillary

1357
01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:15,799
Speaker 1: Clinton would have been arrested. Aberdeen would have been arrested

1358
01:17:15,880 --> 01:17:18,000
Speaker 1: if the rules. Did we ever find did we ever

1359
01:17:18,120 --> 01:17:21,840
Speaker 1: find the thirty three thousand emails that she deleted and

1360
01:17:22,240 --> 01:17:25,360
Speaker 1: acid washed off with bleach bid and had busted up

1361
01:17:25,360 --> 01:17:28,160
Speaker 1: and you know on devices? Did we ever get all

1362
01:17:28,240 --> 01:17:31,519
Speaker 1: of those? What percentage of any did we get? Well,

1363
01:17:31,560 --> 01:17:33,720
Speaker 1: we're still unclear as to what percentage is there, but

1364
01:17:33,800 --> 01:17:36,320
Speaker 1: we've been getting them in dribs and drabs from the government.

1365
01:17:36,640 --> 01:17:39,240
Speaker 1: We should be getting the last bash soon. And these

1366
01:17:39,280 --> 01:17:42,400
Speaker 1: are the emails that were either deleted or missus Clinton

1367
01:17:42,439 --> 01:17:44,960
Speaker 1: did not want to do they have all thirty three

1368
01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:47,479
Speaker 1: thousand emails that were deleted, We don't know, but we

1369
01:17:47,600 --> 01:17:50,200
Speaker 1: do know there was classified information on the emails. That

1370
01:17:50,320 --> 01:17:52,360
Speaker 1: she deleted her hid from the America. Well, even James

1371
01:17:52,439 --> 01:17:56,599
Speaker 1: Comey admitted that on July fifth. So I guess the boat.

1372
01:17:57,000 --> 01:18:00,840
Speaker 1: Where's this Justice Department? Sean? I don't know me and Lynch,

1373
01:18:01,040 --> 01:18:03,040
Speaker 1: I don't have an answer to the protector, but why

1374
01:18:03,400 --> 01:18:07,040
Speaker 1: are they protecting her? Ray and Sessions? Unbelievable, Sarah, you

1375
01:18:07,080 --> 01:18:08,760
Speaker 1: want to take a stab at that because I don't

1376
01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:11,960
Speaker 1: know the answer to it. I don't think anyone knows

1377
01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:14,719
Speaker 1: the answer to what we do know. What we do know, Sean,

1378
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:18,879
Speaker 1: is that Attorney General Jeff Sessions is missing in action.

1379
01:18:19,160 --> 01:18:21,759
Speaker 1: We don't know what John Huber is doing because obviously

1380
01:18:21,840 --> 01:18:24,720
Speaker 1: we found out now that he's never interviewed Bruce or

1381
01:18:25,200 --> 01:18:28,320
Speaker 1: who is a significant player in all of this. We

1382
01:18:28,479 --> 01:18:32,360
Speaker 1: have Rod Rosenstein, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who's somehow

1383
01:18:32,439 --> 01:18:36,439
Speaker 1: in charge of this special Counsel investigation even though he

1384
01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:40,360
Speaker 1: is directly involved in this. He signed the fourth vice

1385
01:18:40,439 --> 01:18:44,080
Speaker 1: A warrant on Carter page and should have known what

1386
01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:48,240
Speaker 1: was the problems and the compromises made there in the malfeasance.

1387
01:18:48,840 --> 01:18:52,240
Speaker 1: So basically we have no one checking on the investigators

1388
01:18:52,560 --> 01:18:56,040
Speaker 1: and Sor are you there with lose you all right?

1389
01:18:56,080 --> 01:18:57,720
Speaker 1: To go back to Tom Fitton. We'll give you the

1390
01:18:57,800 --> 01:19:01,160
Speaker 1: last word. Tom. Well. The immediate steps that can be

1391
01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:05,240
Speaker 1: taken now sean declassification, declassify the rest of the FISA

1392
01:19:05,280 --> 01:19:08,719
Speaker 1: warrant we have these or documents would be declassified because

1393
01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:11,400
Speaker 1: right now the FBI and Justice Department of stone walling

1394
01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:15,519
Speaker 1: the release of information, and the President can I think

1395
01:19:15,560 --> 01:19:20,040
Speaker 1: insert himself require more timely release and declassified material that's

1396
01:19:20,120 --> 01:19:22,680
Speaker 1: not being classified for national security reach. We know what

1397
01:19:22,760 --> 01:19:25,040
Speaker 1: we need. We need the three O twos between Bruce

1398
01:19:25,200 --> 01:19:29,960
Speaker 1: Or and Christopher Steele. We need the unredacted FISA memos,

1399
01:19:30,200 --> 01:19:33,599
Speaker 1: specific pages I'm told ten through twelve, seventeen to thirty four.

1400
01:19:34,680 --> 01:19:36,680
Speaker 1: If we're going to be thorough, we would get all

1401
01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:39,720
Speaker 1: of the Gang of Eight material, as I understand, which

1402
01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:44,920
Speaker 1: would be available to everybody, a specific classified email chain

1403
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:49,200
Speaker 1: from October fourteenth between the FBI and the DOJ and

1404
01:19:49,560 --> 01:19:52,839
Speaker 1: every other request and you know, everybody else that's involved

1405
01:19:52,880 --> 01:19:56,519
Speaker 1: in this, and you know, and there are other things

1406
01:19:56,560 --> 01:19:58,519
Speaker 1: that haven't been turned over to the public. Thro Foy

1407
01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:01,000
Speaker 1: as well. They Justice depart and the FBI have said

1408
01:20:01,040 --> 01:20:05,160
Speaker 1: the text messages generated by Andrew McCabe aren't covered by Foya.

1409
01:20:05,160 --> 01:20:08,280
Speaker 1: They won't even look at him. So there's a lot

1410
01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:12,000
Speaker 1: of stuff here. I would a point of transparencies are

1411
01:20:12,080 --> 01:20:14,760
Speaker 1: maybe to run the Justice to oversee Justice Department and

1412
01:20:14,880 --> 01:20:18,639
Speaker 1: FBI responses, because you know, it's like the fox guarding

1413
01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:22,680
Speaker 1: the henhouse. They can't be trusted to provide documents in

1414
01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:26,360
Speaker 1: a timely way or at all on issues that as

1415
01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:29,080
Speaker 1: an agency or individually they have worries about because it

1416
01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:31,320
Speaker 1: would have in his corruption. We gotta let you go.

1493
01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:20,400
Speaker 1: flight from Newark to San Francisco. They were men and

1494
01:27:20,520 --> 01:27:25,639
Speaker 1: women from every background. They were young people returning from

1495
01:27:25,760 --> 01:27:31,519
Speaker 1: visiting family, moms and dads on business trips, and friends

1496
01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:38,080
Speaker 1: going and coming from birthdays and weddings. They boarded the

1497
01:27:38,160 --> 01:27:45,240
Speaker 1: plane as strangers, and they entered eternity linked forever as

1498
01:27:45,439 --> 01:27:49,000

01:28:14,080 --> 01:28:19,040

01:28:19,800 --> 01:28:22,800
Speaker 1: He was with Rescue one and his son was Joe

1509
01:28:22,920 --> 01:28:26,479
Speaker 1: Angelini Junior, and they're still to this day the only

1510
01:28:26,560 --> 01:28:30,000
Speaker 1: father and son team that ever gave their lives up

1511
01:28:30,040 --> 01:28:33,599
Speaker 1: on the same fire in New York City. So they're

1512
01:28:33,640 --> 01:28:36,680
Speaker 1: well remembered and respected, and their names are one over

1513
01:28:36,720 --> 01:28:39,320

1517
01:28:47,680 --> 01:28:51,720
Speaker 1: nine to eleven. Do you know what happened exactly? Yeah. Well,

1518
01:28:51,840 --> 01:28:55,400
Speaker 1: Joe Senior was always ras because they always said, you know,

1519
01:28:55,720 --> 01:28:57,559
Speaker 1: he missed the big ones. He always missed the big

1520
01:28:57,920 --> 01:29:01,519
Speaker 1: He missed the first nine or the first Twin Towers

1521
01:29:01,920 --> 01:29:05,800
Speaker 1: attack in twin ninety two, and he was, he was

1522
01:29:05,840 --> 01:29:08,240
Speaker 1: on the street in front of the North Tower and

1523
01:29:09,080 --> 01:29:12,160
Speaker 1: in fact they rescued him. And his funeral was on

1524
01:29:12,720 --> 01:29:15,080
Speaker 1: nine twenty one in Linden Nurse, So he had the

1525
01:29:15,160 --> 01:29:18,720
Speaker 1: first funeral on Long Island. So that was quite a

1526
01:29:18,800 --> 01:29:21,200
Speaker 1: thing to be in that limousine and seeing all the

1527
01:29:21,280 --> 01:29:23,920
Speaker 1: people on both sides of the street. That was their

1528
01:29:23,960 --> 01:29:28,280
Speaker 1: first opportunity, you know to grief. Listen, I remember all

1529
01:29:28,320 --> 01:29:30,559
Speaker 1: of it. I remember that, you know, Rudy Giuliani tried

1530
01:29:30,600 --> 01:29:34,000
Speaker 1: to get to every single solitary funeral, and you know

1531
01:29:34,080 --> 01:29:35,840
Speaker 1: you did. And I saw him at the convention and

1532
01:29:35,920 --> 01:29:38,639
Speaker 1: I thanked him for being at both funerals, and he said,

1533
01:29:38,760 --> 01:29:41,320
Speaker 1: you know, I remember that church. And it dawned on

1534
01:29:41,439 --> 01:29:44,080
Speaker 1: me that he was at so many churches, and he said,

1535
01:29:44,080 --> 01:29:47,320
Speaker 1: I remember that church. And he spent the whole funeral there,

1536
01:29:47,400 --> 01:29:49,960
Speaker 1: three hours at each Hourny. Listen, I'm going to tell

1537
01:29:50,000 --> 01:29:52,680
Speaker 1: you something. It was devastating for these families. I know

1538
01:29:52,840 --> 01:29:55,439
Speaker 1: these families still today and they haven't gotten over it.

1539
01:29:55,720 --> 01:29:59,320
Speaker 1: And that's why, you know, on days daylight today, you know,

1540
01:30:00,040 --> 01:30:02,519
Speaker 1: it's very hard on them because they know what happened,

1541
01:30:02,640 --> 01:30:04,720
Speaker 1: and there was such a shock to our system and

1542
01:30:04,800 --> 01:30:08,200
Speaker 1: our soul. We weren't prepared. They were at war. We

1543
01:30:08,320 --> 01:30:10,519
Speaker 1: weren't at war with them. And you know what, we

1544
01:30:10,600 --> 01:30:12,720
Speaker 1: can never get back on that footing. We've got to

1545
01:30:12,880 --> 01:30:16,040
Speaker 1: understand that evil exists, the enemy exists, and that they

1546
01:30:16,120 --> 01:30:18,559
Speaker 1: want to destroy who we are and they hate who

1547
01:30:18,600 --> 01:30:20,800
Speaker 1: we are. And it's a hard thing for good people

1548
01:30:20,840 --> 01:30:24,320
Speaker 1: to wrap their arms around sometimes, but it's absolutely true. Yeah,

1549
01:30:24,479 --> 01:30:26,639
Speaker 1: we lost our innocence in a lot of ways that day.

1550
01:30:27,000 --> 01:30:29,599
Speaker 1: You're right, A lot of ways. You're right, all right,

1551
01:30:29,640 --> 01:30:32,040
Speaker 1: my friend. Thank you. We appreciate you being with us,

1552
01:30:32,080 --> 01:30:33,880
Speaker 1: and our thoughts and prayers go out to them and

1553
01:30:33,960 --> 01:30:37,080
Speaker 1: so many others. Cheryl is in North Carolina. I hope

1554
01:30:37,120 --> 01:30:39,439
Speaker 1: you're a hunker down there. You near the coast, Cheryl,

1555
01:30:39,720 --> 01:30:42,719
Speaker 1: Oh No, I'm actually about four hours from the coast.

1556
01:30:42,840 --> 01:30:44,800
Speaker 1: I'm kind in the middle of North Carolina, might in

1557
01:30:44,840 --> 01:30:47,400
Speaker 1: the Piede Mine. Okay, well, you're still probably gonna have

1558
01:30:47,479 --> 01:30:49,200
Speaker 1: some high winds, a lot of rain, and it's not

1559
01:30:49,280 --> 01:30:51,080
Speaker 1: going to be that fun. It looks like what's gonna

1560
01:30:51,120 --> 01:30:53,840
Speaker 1: hit Thursday, right around Hannity time on TV. That's what

1561
01:30:53,920 --> 01:30:57,240
Speaker 1: I've heard. Yeah, they said during the night Thursday or

1562
01:30:57,320 --> 01:31:00,240
Speaker 1: Friday's when we're going to get it. Of course, there's

1563
01:31:00,280 --> 01:31:03,200
Speaker 1: no water on the shift to be had. Yeah, well,

1564
01:31:03,720 --> 01:31:06,599
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you something. It is I'm all I'm

1565
01:31:06,680 --> 01:31:10,160
Speaker 1: hearing from everybody that knows, including my buddy Joe Bistarti,

1566
01:31:10,200 --> 01:31:13,560
Speaker 1: the official meteorologist of the Sean Hannity Show. This is

1567
01:31:13,600 --> 01:31:16,120
Speaker 1: the real deal. This is not a this is not

1568
01:31:16,640 --> 01:31:20,240
Speaker 1: a test. This is a real emergency for a lot

1569
01:31:20,320 --> 01:31:23,320
Speaker 1: of people. From everything I hear, people are heating the

1570
01:31:23,400 --> 01:31:26,000
Speaker 1: warning they're getting out, and I'll take whatever you need

1571
01:31:26,080 --> 01:31:29,240
Speaker 1: to take with you. Take your animals, take your important papers,

1572
01:31:29,360 --> 01:31:32,120
Speaker 1: take your valuables, those that you can take, memories with

1573
01:31:32,240 --> 01:31:35,639
Speaker 1: your pictures, Pack up your truck, pack up your your van,

1574
01:31:35,880 --> 01:31:39,040
Speaker 1: pack up your suv. Whatever you got your car, doesn't matter,

1575
01:31:39,640 --> 01:31:41,720
Speaker 1: and just be careful, get out of harm's way. And

1576
01:31:41,960 --> 01:31:45,400
Speaker 1: everybody understands, and we'll be here as the country. You

1577
01:31:45,479 --> 01:31:47,759
Speaker 1: know to come in behind you and help and donate

1578
01:31:47,880 --> 01:31:51,920
Speaker 1: like all Americans always do. Yes, they do. I appreciate

1579
01:31:52,000 --> 01:31:55,000
Speaker 1: everything you do and for telling the truth. But my

1580
01:31:55,120 --> 01:31:58,559
Speaker 1: comment is, I'll listen to a clip of Obama's speech,

1581
01:31:59,280 --> 01:32:03,280
Speaker 1: and if the country is in such bad shape and

1582
01:32:03,479 --> 01:32:07,160
Speaker 1: Trump is doing such a terrible job, why is Obama

1583
01:32:07,240 --> 01:32:10,360
Speaker 1: trying to take credit for it? Because he's jealous And

1584
01:32:10,760 --> 01:32:14,479
Speaker 1: I think Obama is incapable of recognizing that he himself

1585
01:32:14,600 --> 01:32:17,800
Speaker 1: and the rigid ideology that he brought into his whole

1586
01:32:17,880 --> 01:32:21,479
Speaker 1: life felt. I think Obama is a true leftist believer.

1587
01:32:22,040 --> 01:32:25,360
Speaker 1: Everything in his background shows that he believed everything I

1588
01:32:25,439 --> 01:32:30,759
Speaker 1: think he said, you know, community organizer, Acorn, Reverend Right, everything,

1589
01:32:30,840 --> 01:32:34,519
Speaker 1: the black liberation theology, Airs and Dorn. I think there

1590
01:32:34,880 --> 01:32:39,040
Speaker 1: is a radical side of this guy, and he's just

1591
01:32:39,760 --> 01:32:43,320
Speaker 1: contradicting the Democratic Party. They're talking about how bad it is,

1592
01:32:43,439 --> 01:32:47,120
Speaker 1: but he's really admitting how good it is. The glory

1593
01:32:47,200 --> 01:32:49,000
Speaker 1: for it. Well, of course he wants the glory, and

1594
01:32:49,240 --> 01:32:51,240
Speaker 1: he resents the hell out of it that the economy

1595
01:32:51,360 --> 01:32:54,200
Speaker 1: came back after he left office. Resents he wants to.

1596
01:32:54,960 --> 01:32:57,640
Speaker 1: He's literally saying, no, I did that. He tells all

1597
01:32:57,720 --> 01:32:59,559
Speaker 1: of us that you didn't build that, but he built

1598
01:32:59,600 --> 01:33:05,920
Speaker 1: the good economy after he left, right right disgusting. It

1599
01:33:06,080 --> 01:33:08,519
Speaker 1: is pretty bad, all right, listen, stay safe everybody in

1600
01:33:08,600 --> 01:33:11,559
Speaker 1: North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia where we're praying for y'all.

1601
01:33:11,600 --> 01:33:15,080
Speaker 1: All right, hang in there and we'll be there. I

1602
01:33:15,160 --> 01:33:20,680
Speaker 1: know the American people, they'll be there and whatever you need, food, water, medicine, supplies,

1603
01:33:20,760 --> 01:33:24,160
Speaker 1: baby formula, cots, blankets, you know, we'll do whatever we

1604
01:33:24,280 --> 01:33:26,519
Speaker 1: can do to help. It doesn't make it fun, it

1605
01:33:26,560 --> 01:33:28,639
Speaker 1: doesn't make it easy. I've met many many people over

1606
01:33:28,680 --> 01:33:31,479
Speaker 1: the years that have had their entire homes destroy it.

1607
01:33:31,560 --> 01:33:35,400
Speaker 1: It is really really you know, it's a hard thing

1608
01:33:35,439 --> 01:33:37,000
Speaker 1: to go through, but could come out of it with

1609
01:33:37,120 --> 01:33:39,400
Speaker 1: your life first, and then we'll worry about replacing the

1610
01:33:39,520 --> 01:33:42,880
Speaker 1: material things. After Mike and Detroit. Mike, Hi, how are

1611
01:33:42,920 --> 01:33:46,600
Speaker 1: you hello? Sean? It's good to speak with you a

1612
01:33:46,840 --> 01:33:49,760
Speaker 1: long time. Listen, I love your Fox show. I'm going

1613
01:33:49,800 --> 01:33:51,200
Speaker 1: to try to be real quick because I got a

1614
01:33:51,240 --> 01:33:53,720
Speaker 1: couple of quick questions. All Right, some has got so

1615
01:33:53,840 --> 01:33:56,519
Speaker 1: many people in his porn are ready to fight anything

1616
01:33:56,640 --> 01:33:59,840
Speaker 1: he can turn over or declassify. I can't understand why

1617
01:34:00,080 --> 01:34:02,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't do it? What's he waiting for one of his

1618
01:34:02,320 --> 01:34:05,200
Speaker 1: kids to get indicted or something? And if they do

1619
01:34:05,439 --> 01:34:08,920
Speaker 1: get a special counts to look into the investigators, can

1620
01:34:09,000 --> 01:34:11,519
Speaker 1: it be stopped by the Democrats if they take the

1621
01:34:11,600 --> 01:34:15,439
Speaker 1: House and or Senate and something else I thought about

1622
01:34:15,920 --> 01:34:19,680
Speaker 1: if they're for the investigation the special counts to begin with,

1623
01:34:19,800 --> 01:34:24,559
Speaker 1: there was supposed to be a crime designated. If there's

1624
01:34:24,600 --> 01:34:29,040
Speaker 1: no crime designated, then can't Trump put an end to it? Yeah?

1625
01:34:29,160 --> 01:34:32,800
Speaker 1: I think thirty days name the crime or putting an

1626
01:34:32,880 --> 01:34:36,040
Speaker 1: end to it put them on their heels. Listen. I

1627
01:34:36,200 --> 01:34:38,519
Speaker 1: think all of that's going to happen. I think it's

1628
01:34:38,560 --> 01:34:41,360
Speaker 1: going to happen sooner than later. I don't think it's

1629
01:34:41,400 --> 01:34:44,240
Speaker 1: going to happen on a week where nine to eleven happen.

1630
01:34:45,439 --> 01:34:48,640
Speaker 1: It's to me, there's other things that we are more

1631
01:34:48,680 --> 01:34:51,639
Speaker 1: important to talk about. And I don't think with a big,

1632
01:34:51,840 --> 01:34:54,760
Speaker 1: massive hurricane about to hit the east coast of the

1633
01:34:54,880 --> 01:34:58,320
Speaker 1: United States, that looks like the real deal that that

1634
01:34:58,479 --> 01:35:00,800
Speaker 1: anybody's going to be focused on. We've got to worry

1635
01:35:00,800 --> 01:35:03,680
Speaker 1: about our neighbors right now. We got to roll up

1636
01:35:03,680 --> 01:35:05,840
Speaker 1: our sleeves and be prepared to help out the people

1637
01:35:05,840 --> 01:35:10,360
Speaker 1: of South Carolina, North Carolina and elsewhere. That's where our focuses.

1638
01:35:10,720 --> 01:35:12,680
Speaker 1: But afterwards, I would I would expect that he will

1639
01:35:12,720 --> 01:35:15,200
Speaker 1: do that. That's gonna wrap things up for today. Hannity
