1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on iHeartRadio.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: Mike and Denver, Welcome to the show, Michael. Good to

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: have you with us. Hey, good morning, George. How are you.

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: I'm good, so so great to talk to you tonight.

5
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: I had in comment actually tonight. So obviously this is

6
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: the anniversary of nine to eleven, And you know, it's

7
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: kind of interesting because when I was a kid, I

8
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 1: really didn't comprehend when nine to eleven happened. What was

9
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 1: going on? You were five years old, right right? It

10
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: was just so crazy, and we were our school was

11
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: actually evacuated and we were taking to kind of a

12
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,319
Speaker 1: hole being area for our parents to pick us up.

13
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: But you know, nine to eleven has always been something

14
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: that's fascinated me ever since I was a little kid,

15
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: and specifically the events surrounding nine to eleven, the anthrax

16
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: um you know, epidemic that happened. And you know, there

17
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: was this doctor Bruce Evans that they blamed this whole

18
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: anthrax being on, and ten years later we come to

19
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: find out he had nothing to do with it, and

20
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: he ended up, you know, going through a lot due

21
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: today I had almost destroyed him, right right, But you know,

22
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: I wanted to kind of ask you to take kind

23
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 1: of take me back if you could tell me where

24
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: where you were on nine to eleven and kind of

25
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: what your experience was. Well. I was back in Saint

26
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: Louis and my daughter Wendy called me and she said,

27
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: the Dad, you got to turn on the television. And

28
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: I said, Wendy, why, She said, planes are crashing into

29
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: the World Trade Center in New York, And I said what.

30
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: So I got up. I started watching and I saw

31
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: the second plane hit because that was broadcast all over

32
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: the place. I saw the second plane hit one of

33
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: the towers, and then of course we saw the buildings collapse,

34
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: which I still having a mind boggling time understanding. Right,

35
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: I mean, clearly the planes hit the buildings, but something

36
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: else happened there. Oh yeah, they just went down just

37
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: like a controlled demolition. It was just bizarre. Well, and

38
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: you know the Pentagon as well, I mean we Pentagon.

39
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: They didn't find all the plane debris that this plane

40
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: supposedly hit the Pentagon, but obviously something hit that. I

41
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: did see a video that looked like a missile. It

42
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: went through so fast it could have been the plane.

43
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: And then of course, did you hear the top of

44
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: the show, the Flight ninety three tape that I played, Yeah,

45
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: it was very emotional for us, it was, And you know,

46
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: I definitely think we've come a long way since nine

47
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: to eleven. But you know, we look at all the

48
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 1: things that have happened since nine to eleven, like privacy wise,

49
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 1: I mean, all the Patriot Act, of course set the

50
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: kind of set the bar for all the implementations of

51
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: increased surveillance by the NSA, and that kind of opened

52
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: the door right too for them to say, well, this

53
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: is in the matter of national security, we have a

54
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: right to spy on you. We have a right to

55
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: listen to your phone calls. And you know, it's just

56
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,679
Speaker 1: kind of an interesting parallel. But you know, I definitely

57
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: also just wanted to extend my thoughts and prayers to

58
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: all the victims of the fires going on. And I

59
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: really hope this intention experiment works tonight. George. I hope

60
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: so you keep thinking you alone could do this, Michael,

61
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: with your intent. It's so strong. Just keep thinking of

62
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: rain out in those areas a right to it. And

63
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,839
Speaker 1: then Colorado had some fire issues too, didn't that we did.

64
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: We had actually the largest fire on record here in

65
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: Colorado this year. It burned I forget how many, hundreds

66
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: of thousands of acres, but it was very bad. We've

67
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: had a number of fires and they've really took their

68
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: toll on this state. And you know, I think that

69
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: it's all about unity and coming together through this, much

70
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: like we did on nine to eleven, right to get

71
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: through these hard times. Absolutely, you know, this is an

72
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: unprecedented year, George, but I think it's people like you

73
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: that kind of restore my faith in our humanity. So well,

74
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: we're going to be here as long as it takes.
