It's a 91 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 10: big loss for our nation. And I interacted with Charlie 92 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 10: over the years going attorney point host co hosting TPUSA. 93 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 4: Faith never preached violence. 94 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,679 Speaker 10: I always wanted to talk it out and I spoke 95 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 10: to Charlie about you know, when I was in high school, 96 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 10: I used to go to college campuses and debate the 97 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 10: lefties on campus and stuff. And you know what he 98 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 10: achieved though, growing that organization was just one of the 99 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,280 Speaker 10: most incredible things in American history, you know, going up 100 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 10: to like thirteen hundred campuses in just the first few 101 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 10: years when conservatives had no voice, right, they had nowhere 102 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 10: to go, And now it's in the many thousands on 103 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 10: every campus across America, so the country. But I think 104 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 10: he built up an organization well that will not only 105 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 10: survive but flourish. And whoever did this modern Charlie Kirk, 106 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 10: and I hope people carry his flame. 107 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's as we look back and as we look ahead. 108 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: But let's talk about right now, Matt Tardio, this is 109 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: an active investigation. 110 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 5: You are a former law enforcement officer. 111 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,119 Speaker 1: You also are pretty very well versed on terrorism as well. 112 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: Can you tell the audience some of your thoughts not 113 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: only about where this investigation is and some of the 114 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: thoughts you might have about it, but maybe any other 115 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: thoughts you have of what this generally says about our 116 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 1: security situation here in the country right now. 117 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 6: Matt, you know, as far as the security situation inside 118 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:46,479 Speaker 6: of the country goes, I'll tell you you know, it's 119 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 6: not often that I am kind of at a loss 120 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 6: of words, right and instead of commenting on a security 121 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 6: situation currently inside of our country, rather comment on Charlie. 122 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 6: To be honest with you, the man is a solid 123 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 6: Christian and he was a great example for everybody here 124 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 6: inside of this country. And he did nothing but speak 125 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 6: his own truth and the truth that like the US 126 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 6: had actually had. And I personally believe that that God 127 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 6: is in control and that everything is happening for a reason. 128 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 6: I know there's a lot of people that are hurting 129 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 6: inside of this country right now. There's a lot of 130 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 6: different ways that we could we could take this, and 131 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 6: we could point out we can point out a particular group. 132 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 6: We could say that, you know, X, Y and Z 133 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 6: is to blame when it comes down to all of this. 134 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 6: But I think I'd be doing Charlie disservice. I mean, 135 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 6: like I said, the man was a solid Christian. 136 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 9: I think that. 137 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 6: God is in control of the situation, and I would 138 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 6: just hope that one thing is true here is that 139 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 6: he didn't die for not And when I see the 140 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 6: amount of love that's being poured out online, all the 141 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 6: people that I normally see online that are are commenting 142 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 6: and saying that, you know, normally they would be going 143 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 6: against Charlie and be screaming against them, they're actually coming 144 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 6: out and telling everybody to calm down. 145 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 9: And stop using this in some sort of a political way. 146 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 6: And the people that do go in and make like 147 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 6: horrendous comments there are actually getting corrected really quick. And 148 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 6: what I think is actually happening here with this is 149 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 6: is that America is waking up that this that this 150 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 6: madness that Charlie often spoke about with like, you know, 151 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 6: like radical people that are out there in this country 152 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 6: and around the world. When when those people are going 153 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 6: in and actually making comments, they're actually getting snuffed out 154 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 6: by their own. It's almost like this is starting a 155 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 6: movement that's allowing like that that people are literally eating 156 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 6: their own you know, when it goes down to this, 157 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 6: that that you're no longer allowed to be radical, particularly 158 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 6: when it comes to this death right, like you were 159 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 6: not allowed to take this and run with it. 160 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 9: Just be respectful for once. 161 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, I appreciate that that sentiment, Matt. 162 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: You know here at ground zero, it's interesting you talk 163 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: about really celebrating the. 164 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 5: Life of Charlie Kirk, his legacy. 165 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: A lot of what we're gonna do today here at 166 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: nine to eleven is something that Charlie Kirk was all about. 167 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: You know, we're standing here among people who clearly are 168 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: the relatives. 169 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 5: Of maybe the children of victims of nine to eleven. 170 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: I just saw someone walk by with his battle fatigues, 171 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: a veteran family members and things like that.

Jessica 180 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 10: Tish and New York City Police Commissioner issued warnings for 181 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 10: our East Side Bridge and Tunnel Crossings. Is very heavy 182 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 10: security down here. But this today we have Engine ten 183 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 10: behind us.

But 186 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 10: this is about resilience, right, This is about the brothers, 187 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 10: the fathers, the sons, the wives that were lost, to 188 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:04,319 Speaker 10: come and remember them. But New York unified after nine eleven, 189 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 10: And it is similar to Charlie Kirk because I think 190 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 10: the country will unify, even the left, you know, outside 191 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 10: of the radicals, you know, because. 192 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 4: It was a terror attack yesterday. 193 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 10: Yeah, right, And these people are extraordinary firefighters. Over a 194 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 10: thousand firefighters have died so far NYPD and Port Authority combined. 195 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 10: More about four hundred firefighters died after nine to eleven. 196 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 10: And now you have seventy thousand people that are sick, 197 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 10: and you know, twenty four thousand plus with cancer.

But you know, this is about coming together 200 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 10: for New York to remember and to move forward. 201 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: One of the people who was charged with the duty 202 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,559 Speaker 1: of making sure that those who are responsible for nine 203 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: to eleven is with us in Matt Tardio. 204 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 5: Matt, let's talk a little bit about nine to eleven here. 205 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: Obviously, your sentiments about Charlie are very well taken and understood, 206 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: and we have so much of the same respect and 207 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: mourning today for the victims of nine to eleven and 208 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: remembering them. 209 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 5: But it wasn't just cops and firefighters. Of course, we. 210 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 1: Ended up getting involved in a global war on terror, 211 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: and we can talk about the pros and cons about 212 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 1: the strategy of that and another time. But what we 213 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 1: can also talk about is your brothers and sisters in arms, 214 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: those who went and fought trying to right this wrong. 215 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:26,959 Speaker 1: Tell us a little bit about that and how you're 216 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: feeling about that today, Matt. 217 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 9: Yeah.

And then to see 228 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 6: the flags of our enemies actually being flown inside of 229 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 6: this country these days, and to be gone for so 230 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,079 Speaker 6: long and doing so much for this like to in 231 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 6: these guys who have given so much, you know, and gals, 232 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 6: to turn around and see little terrorist flags flying in 233 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 6: our own country. I couldn't be more disgusted these days 234 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:39,839 Speaker 6: we went. We went from having one of the one 235 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 6: of the biggest catalysts that was able to bring America 236 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 6: together and having American flags flown just everywhere in this country. Two, 237 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 6: Now we're having flags of our enemies flown in our country. 238 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 6: And it makes me wonder what is going on with 239 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 6: people those those And I don't mean to take. 240 00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 9: Away from it, but I know they're rolling in their 241 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 9: day graves. Two. It upsets me, to be perfectly honest 242 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 9: with you, It upsets me. 243 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, and it should yeah, and it should have set us. 244 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: And one of the things though, that I think is 245 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: interesting is that, you know, as I'm looking at some 246 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: of these family members and other people who were here 247 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: on the on the original nine to eleven two thousand 248 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: and one, it's clear to me that a lot of 249 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: them don't live in New York anymore. For those who 250 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 1: are wondering how New York has gotten to that place 251 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: where we are seeing terrorist flags being flown in the streets, 252 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: I would estimate, David, maybe thirty forty percent of this 253 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: population wasn't here on nine to eleven, two thousand and one. 254 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 5: And I wonder if that's a factor. 255 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 10: I bet if you asked ninety nine percent of the 256 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 10: people around here outside of the FDNY and emergency services and 257 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 10: first responders, they wouldn't know the forty year history of terror, 258 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 10: the alfa Rouk Mosque in Brooklyn, the Sahati spice market, 259 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 10: recruiting majah Deen, building Al Qaeda for thirty five years 260 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 10: in New York City, and the long litany of Terrist's attacks. 261 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 10: You know, but this impacted everybody. 262 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 5: On Long Island. 263 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 10: We lost five hundred people almost right, and these were brothers. 264 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 10: And when you realize the impact of what happened here, 265 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 10: it affected everybody's life. So while you're watching the terrorists, 266 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 10: you were in the city watching the towers come down. 267 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 10: I was on Long Island watching it on TV, but 268 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 10: I didn't know my friend Pete Brennan and Rescue four 269 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 10: was on his way up to the seventy fourth floor 270 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 10: last scene, and the buildings came down on him, and 271 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 10: then the whole litany of friends and family people.

Deborah Messing, liberal actress, is saying she 280 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 10: won't vote for Mandanni or support him because he celebrated 281 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 10: nine to eleven. Hasan Piker, an influencer attached to his 282 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 10: campaign in a nutshell, was basically saying we deserved nine 283 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 10: to eleven. And it gets worse than that, you know. Also, 284 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 10: Mamdanna in twenty fifteen tweeted which resurfaced from twenty fifteen, 285 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 10: criticizing the FBI for survelling al Wallacki, who was building 286 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 10: al Qaeda in the United States, who we droned in Yemen. 287 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 10: So this is, you know, a very serious situation with 288 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 10: this election so close. 289 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, this is a special day here on real 290 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: America's voice in American Sunrise Early Edition.

I wanted to talk 309 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 1: a little bit about another aspect of the of the attacks. 310 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: You know, we have a lot of people that were 311 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: even working on the program this morning who were three 312 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: weeks old, one week old, not even born yet when 313 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: these attacks began. And that's why it's so important for 314 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: children to be learning about nine to eleven at appropriate times, 315 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: inappropriate places in schools. And I have two daughters who 316 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: were not born on twousand and two thousand and one. 317 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: You have children as well and grandchildren. You've been telling 318 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 1: me that they're not teaching Ninally, you've heard they're not 319 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 1: teaching nine to eleven in some of the school systems anymore. 320 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 4: Yeah, there are reports in the New York Post this week. 321 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 10: It was kind of like an op ed about how 322 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 10: these kids are not learning the proper history of nine 323 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 10: to eleven. You know, there's a lot of revisionism out there, 324 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 10: and there is really is not an understanding nationwide that 325 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 10: these buildings came down due to Islamic terra, that we 326 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 10: didn't do it, and it was just such a tragic thing. 327 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 10: But you have to remember too, like going back to 328 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 10: the mayor's race here, right, we have like eighty five 329 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 10: percent of Long Island City in Astoria, these gen Z 330 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 10: Millennial headquarters throughout you know, Greenpoint Williamsburg. They came out 331 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 10: eighty percent from the Donnie. They don't know his radical 332 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 10: side right now. He's kind of backtracking this week and 333 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 10: he's saying, oh, well, I really cared about nine to eleven, 334 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 10: but his focus was on how Muslims persecuted after nine 335 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 10: to eleven instead of like leaving that on the sideline, 336 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 10: you know, and just honoring the victims and the people 337 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 10: who died here. So I think that people all too 338 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 10: much have forgotten or never really knew the real story here, 339 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:29,880 Speaker 10: especially the younger generation. 340 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, it is anything that I feel guilty about. 341 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,439 Speaker 1: I think a lot of us feel guilty about. Have 342 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: we told our children enough? Have we taught them enough 343 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,479 Speaker 1: about what happened here? Have we told them our stories? 344 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,639 Speaker 1: I mean you mentioned you were on Long Island. I 345 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 1: was working producing a morning news program. We had just finished. 346 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,479 Speaker 1: We wrapped off the air at eight a m. And 347 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: I saw with my own eyes because my desk had 348 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: a window that faced the twin towers, both of the 349 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,120 Speaker 1: planes go in, and of course things changed tremendously then. 350 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: But what we learned afterwards there was nothing surprising to me, 351 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 1: because of course this has been an area of expertise 352 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,640 Speaker 1: for me for a long time, middle East terrorist, middle 353 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 1: East origin terrorism, and things like that. But it's important 354 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 1: to remember if you have a young child, a grandchild 355 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: right now, to let them know that America. 356 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 5: Didn't do this. 357 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 1: This is not something that it deserved, isn't This wasn't 358 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 1: a part of an active war terrorism targets, defenseless civilians. 359 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 1: The people who were on that footprint of that building 360 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: and now it's the Freedom Tower, we're just going into work. 361 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: There were maintenance workers, there were people who were just 362 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: sitting at their desks, and they need. 363 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:28,399 Speaker 5: To remember that. 364 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: All right, We're going to talk a lot more about 365 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: everything that happened in the days Afternon eleven, including what 366 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: happened on Wall Street and in the businesses of America 367 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 1: when we come back. This is a very special edition 368 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: of American Sunrise Early edition. As we remember nine to 369 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: eleven and we remember Charlie Kirk, We'll be right back. 370 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:50,640 Speaker 2: America still mourns and together we still remember. Stay with us. 371 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 2: There's more American Sunrise after this from the ashes of tragedy. 372 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 2: America's spirit still stay. This is American Sunrise. America still mourns. 373 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 1: Welcome back to American Sunrise early edition. We are live 374 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: today from ground zero on the corner of Greenwich and 375 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,880 Speaker 1: Cedar Streets, just steps away from where the original Twin 376 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: Towers stood, and steps away from where the Freedom Tower 377 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 1: stands now. And it's important to remember that it was 378 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: the World Trade Center that was the target of those 379 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: terrorists on that day. This was an attack not only 380 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 1: on New York City and of course the civilians here, 381 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: but an attack on our financial markets. So I want 382 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: to take a look a little bit about how give 383 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: you a little bit look about how the market's going 384 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: to open today. And I promise you I'm not being 385 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,919 Speaker 1: crass or materialistic by doing this, because I want everyone 386 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,640 Speaker 1: to take a look at something, and whether you're invested 387 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: or not, take a look at those numbers this morning 388 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 1: to understand how that attack failed. 389 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 5: The markets are far. 390 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: From dead, and our economy in this country is far 391 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: from dead. We've had our ups and down since nine 392 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: to eleven. But their attempt to try to stop our 393 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: stock markets, stop our traders, things like that failed miserably. 394 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 1: And you might remember that it was about six d 395 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: It was exactly six days after the attacks that the 396 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: markets were able to reopen. They closed way down that day, 397 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: but they came back after that, and the attack on 398 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: our markets ended up being a total failure, and in fact, 399 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: by the end of the year the markets were up again. 400 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 5: Not being materialistic here in any way. 401 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to talk about how you can't have 402 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,959 Speaker 1: any freedom with that economic freedom, and they were attacking 403 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 1: our economic freedom as well, David Zier, and that failed. 404 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 5: It failed, it did. 405 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 10: And everyone has to remember that Howard Lutnik, who was 406 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 10: the owner of Caunter Fitzgerald right CEO. They had nine 407 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,199 Speaker 10: hundred and sixty employees and the upper floors of building 408 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 10: two when the plane slammed into the building. The first 409 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 10: plane hit and six hundred and fifty eight of his 410 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 10: employees perished. I caught up with Howard Lutnick about eight 411 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 10: years ago at his home at a fundraiser, and he 412 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 10: was still just so devastated. Was fifteen years later, so 413 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 10: the financial industry an acquaintance of mind. Mike McCarthy died 414 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 10: in car Futures and my sister lost eighty one clients 415 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 10: in the trade center. So you know, it just touched 416 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 10: everybody's life, not even six degrees of separation, sometimes one, 417 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:14,199 Speaker 10: two or. 418 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: Three and I should mention the reason why Howard Luttne survived. 419 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 5: He was dropping his child off at kindergarten that day. 420 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 4: He felt very guilty and that's why. 421 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 5: He wasn't there now. Usually at this point in the program. 422 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: Is when we have our Moving America segment, and sometimes 423 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 1: it's just a fun segment. I talk about the auto industry, 424 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: but believe it or not, the auto industry is important 425 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: to talk about on this day as well because Detroit, 426 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: the big Detroit automakers, responded to nine to eleven with 427 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 1: a very very aggressive incentive plan to get people to 428 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 1: buy cars. They knew that that would be important to 429 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: keep our industry moving in America, to get people buying 430 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 1: cars and trucks and not sitting at home and just 431 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 1: hiding and being worried about things, because it isn't just 432 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 1: about buying something again. You buy a car a truck, 433 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: and by definition you're moving around a big part of 434 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 1: a society and a culture, people not just hiding in 435 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: their homes. You can go to some very heavily populated 436 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: parts of the world where people don't go out because 437 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,159 Speaker 1: they're afraid or they don't have any kind of security, 438 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: and that is something that you noticed. And so by 439 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: December of twenty twenty, at two thousand and one, you 440 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 1: couldn't help but notice the massive number of new cars 441 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: and trucks that were on the road. 442 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,640 Speaker 5: Again, it was a clear movement by the. 443 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: Detroit automakers GM Ford and at the time Dinalder Chrysler. 444 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: It was called absolutely motivated and mobilized to try to 445 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 1: keep this economy going. And so shout out to those people. 446 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:36,919 Speaker 1: I know, I don't they're not always the greatest. We 447 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: understand that the auto industry has had its ups and downs. 448 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 1: We had to bail them out, et cetera, et cetera, 449 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: et cetera. But credit where credit is due. They stood 450 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: up for this country at that time, got a lot 451 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: and got the country moving very very literally did Yeah. 452 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 10: Would just add there was a lot of patriot buying 453 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 10: going on. I bought Lockheed's stock after that, and people 454 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 10: made money and they made money back, and you know, 455 00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 10: it was real unifying time. But you know, I gave 456 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 10: blood after nine to eleven. You know the lines, remember 457 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 10: the lines giving blood nationwide. We're wrapped around the buildings 458 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 10: here in New York. People again came together, but economically. 459 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: Too, Yeah, and That's where I want to bring in 460 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk again. Charlie Kirk understood economic freedom. I mean, 461 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 1: he would want everyone to understand, even the in light 462 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: of the tragedy that we saw on two thousand and one, 463 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 1: and certainly the tragedy that occurred him being really cowardly 464 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: murdered by a cowardly murderery yesterday, he would want people 465 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,679 Speaker 1: and our commerce and our lives to continue in this 466 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: country because otherwise they win. We have to keep moving 467 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 1: forward in this country. 468 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 5: We do it respectfully. 469 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: We do things like this where we pause and we 470 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: take a time out. There will be a moment of 471 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,919 Speaker 1: silence on the floor of the New York Soak Exchange today, 472 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 1: as there is every morning on September eleventh since the attack. 473 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: So we have to remember all of that and remember 474 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 1: that again, it's about making sure that we continue to 475 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 1: do our work as Americans, to continue to live our 476 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 1: lives and not be afraid.

He's the editor at large at 510 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 5: Tablet Magazine. 511 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 1: Lea, I want to ask you first, as we again 512 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: pause today on September eleventh, we already had a mournful 513 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 1: day penciled in on the calendar, but now we are 514 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: waking up to the shock of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. 515 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 1: Like to get your impressions of him. I know that 516 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: you knew his work quite well. Tell us your feelings 517 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,479 Speaker 1: about this. Honestly, this is the day when people can 518 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 1: really show their feelings something this program, if any. 519 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 12: You know, it's it's tough to add to an already 520 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 12: impressive kind of Walterwall. 521 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 4: Choir, of of of of sadness and outrage. 522 00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 12: But I think there's an eerie parallel between the fact 523 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 12: that we're celebrated, we're commemorating you know, nine to eleven today, 524 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 12: and that Charlie's assassination happened just the day before. Because 525 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 12: both nine to eleven, two thousand and one and nine 526 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 12: ten twenty twenty five, I think we'll go down in 527 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 12: American history as supremely clarifying moments of attack on everything that. 528 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:21,679 Speaker 4: We are and everything that we believe in. 529 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,439 Speaker 12: Because Charlie Kirk wasn't just as some of the liberal 530 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 12: media would have you believe, a conservative firebrand or a 531 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 12: mega influencer, as he was disgustingly called by The New 532 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 12: York Times. He was a person who believed, very, very 533 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 12: truly more than anyone I know in this hallowed principle 534 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 12: of the ability of free speech and debate to actually 535 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 12: change minds. This is a person who was only thirty 536 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 12: one years old and yet for more than a decade 537 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 12: spent almost every day of his life going to college 538 00:28:56,040 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 12: campuses and having real conversations, not gotcha need for social 539 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 12: media moments, but actual exchanges. 540 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 4: Under this brilliant banner, proved me wrong. 541 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 12: Always with respect, always with a half smile on his face, 542 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 12: but never backing down. Under this great American assumption that 543 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 12: if two people could just get together and talk over 544 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 12: the shouting, over the acrimony, maybe hearts and minds will open, 545 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 12: and minds and opinions will change. This is what was 546 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 12: attacked yesterday in Utah, and this is the spirit of 547 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 12: America that though Charlie is sadly no longer with us, 548 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 12: this spirit will never ever perish from this land. 549 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: You know, I'm so glad that you drew that parallel, 550 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: because Charlie Kirk was seven years old when the attacks 551 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: of nine to eleven two thousand and one took place. 552 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 5: It was only seven years old. The fact that somebody 553 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 5: like that could mature and grow into. 554 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 1: Who he became in the wake of nine to eleven 555 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 1: is a testament to the fact that at least some 556 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 1: people in America, his family and his other influencers, and 557 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 1: of course Charlie himself, were able to get that moment 558 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: of clarity, to get that type of clarity in their lives, 559 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 1: and to speak the truth to so many people. David 560 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 1: zier I think that Leilibait's parallels between Charlie's life and 561 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,239 Speaker 1: what he stood for and what we remember today are 562 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: is pretty astute. 563 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 4: It's very moving, and it's spot on. 564 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 10: And I wanted to add that Charlie believed in the 565 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 10: rugged individualists who made America great, there were no guarantees 566 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 10: for your success and what like Trump says, nine out 567 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 10: of ten times you might fail. And not only did 568 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 10: Charlie talk about the Jiha trying to destroy Western values 569 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 10: and the West and the financial markets, but he also 570 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 10: talked about communism and how one hundred million people died 571 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 10: under communism. I experienced at firsthand in Moscow forty years 572 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 10: ago with the breadlines and no food on the shelves. 573 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 10: And he, you know, always hammered home that you know, 574 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 10: we are a free market society and we have to 575 00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:01,720 Speaker 10: act responsibly. And it was just the salt of the earth, 576 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:06,479 Speaker 10: just the salt of the earth for the story of America. 577 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: I know there's something else that you appreciate that I 578 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 1: appreciated about Charlie Kirk so much as well, And again 579 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: is a tie into nine to eleven. Charlie Kirk didn't 580 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 1: fall for if you remember, and still goes on in 581 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 1: America today, the incredible conspiracy theories, the nine to eleven 582 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 1: Truther folks to say that it wasn't a foreign attack. 583 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: All that kind of stuff I can count on. If 584 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 1: I had more hands, I would need them to count 585 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 1: them many times that Charlie Kirk rejected the very heavy 586 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: pressure that. 587 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 5: Was on him. 588 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: And I can tell you this, I know this for 589 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 1: a fact, to fall into some of these conspiracy theories, 590 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 1: not necessarily about nine to eleven, but about some of 591 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 1: the other things going on in the world right now. 592 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 5: He didn't succumb to that, and he continued. 593 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 1: Not only did he not stay quiet about things and 594 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 1: talked about as you said, but he didn't fall for 595 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 1: some of these outrageous conspiracy theories, the kinds of things 596 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 1: that are. 597 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 5: Trying to destroy the right from within. 598 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 1: I think that that's something we should remember today also, 599 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 1: especially today. 600 00:31:58,440 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 4: I agree completely. 601 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 12: And we live in a perilous moment in American politics 602 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 12: in which we have not only the woke left, which 603 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 12: we've sadly become somewhat accustomed to those people running around 604 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 12: saying there are fifty seven genders and America was born 605 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 12: in sin and slavery and must be dismantled. But we've 606 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 12: also seen in the last year or two the rise 607 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 12: of the woke right, people as you said, who pedal 608 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 12: in conspiracy theories, people who are praying for America's downfall, 609 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 12: who see it as fundamentally evil, and who see parts 610 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 12: of this population, especially the Jews, as being somehow nefariously 611 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 12: responsible for some international globalist cabal that is here to 612 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 12: emperor us all. Charlie Kirk didn't believe any of this. 613 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 12: Not only did he not believe any of this, he 614 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 12: was alive with the spirit of America understanding that we 615 00:32:54,840 --> 00:33:00,959 Speaker 12: absolutely must reject these dangerous and pernicious ideas because the 616 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 12: spirit of the Prophet of the Prophets of Israel, the 617 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 12: spirit of the Bible, is the spirit that moves this 618 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 12: great and godly nation. And Charlie Kirk was a godly 619 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 12: man who believed that there is and could not be 620 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 12: any America unless it is moved by the same vision 621 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 12: that has moved it from its very creation, and it's 622 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 12: helped it at every turn renew its great covenant with God. 623 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's important to remember Charlie Kirk was 624 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 1: a devout Christian, and devout Christians understand this truth that. 625 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 5: God gave the Bible to the Jews and. 626 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 1: By extension, the Christians, and the fact that we both 627 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 1: believe that together is unique in world history. I don't 628 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 1: even think there's anywhere else in the universe like that. 629 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 1: And David, you were telling me about You know, so 630 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,480 Speaker 1: many of the victims of nine to eleven. 631 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 5: Are the people who ended up. People tried to blame 632 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 5: them for me. 633 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 10: Maybe up to four hundred Jews perished in nine to eleven. 634 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 10: And you know, later on we're going to play my 635 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 10: interview with Rudy Giuliani and Richie Rotance, who was like 636 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 10: number three in the emergency operations center that day along 637 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 10: with the company.

I mean again, 669 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,320 Speaker 1: these are the kinds of things that we talk about today, 670 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:43,960 Speaker 1: and Charlie Kirk really dedicated a lot of his life 671 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,280 Speaker 1: to warning us about isn't it again? 672 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:50,359 Speaker 12: With great courage because these days in polite society, when 673 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:54,960 Speaker 12: you talk about terrorism immediately, a banner is unfurled, the 674 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,400 Speaker 12: banner of Islamophobia, saying, well, you can't say that, because 675 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 12: if you talk about terrorism immediately, that sounds like you're 676 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:06,239 Speaker 12: somehow racist against Muslims. In this very dangerous time, and 677 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 12: as we're seeing, Islamist violence and terrorism are still sadly 678 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,719 Speaker 12: alive and well in this world, and still as pernicious 679 00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:18,799 Speaker 12: and ravenous and targeting America as they did that dark 680 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 12: day twenty four years ago. It is so important to 681 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,799 Speaker 12: be able to call things by their proper name, to 682 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,800 Speaker 12: be able to point the fingers where the blame lies, 683 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 12: to be able to say, hey, guys, this is what 684 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 12: we need to watch out for. And you know, as 685 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,799 Speaker 12: I'm devastated, I have to be honest, I have not 686 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:40,400 Speaker 12: slept much since learning of this assassination. But this one 687 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:41,960 Speaker 12: thing I want to take away, and it has to 688 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,479 Speaker 12: do with nine to eleven. I was in New York 689 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 12: on that day, and the thing that I remember very 690 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,000 Speaker 12: well that a lot of people have since commented on, 691 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:53,560 Speaker 12: is how incredibly powerful the coming together of the entire 692 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,959 Speaker 12: city and indeed the entire country was. The morning after, 693 00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 12: people really felt like putting the differences aside, putting distinctions aside, 694 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:07,720 Speaker 12: and coming together to unite around America. May Charlie memory, 695 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,480 Speaker 12: Charlie Kirk's memory be a blessing in a way that 696 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 12: it will bring all of us together to unite around 697 00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:17,360 Speaker 12: the very real threats that still face us and overcome 698 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:21,800 Speaker 12: them as Americans always do with courage and with joy. 699 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,799 Speaker 1: Play Libowitz, Editor at large, Tablet Magazine, thank you so 700 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:28,759 Speaker 1: much for joining us. 701 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:30,680 Speaker 5: David Zier is here with us as well. 702 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,120 Speaker 1: We're going to be here at ground zero not only 703 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,160 Speaker 1: for this program but through throughout the day on Real 704 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 1: America's Voice again.

Also joining us 719 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:43,160 Speaker 1: live from Washington, d C is David Brody, and I 720 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:44,960 Speaker 1: want to talk to David because one aspect of the 721 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,919 Speaker 1: nine to eleven attacks we have yet to discuss this morning. Yes, 722 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:49,759 Speaker 1: we are here at Ground zero in New York City, 723 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:53,440 Speaker 1: but of course Washington, d C was also affected with 724 00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,440 Speaker 1: the attack on the Pentagon. I know, David, you were 725 00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,880 Speaker 1: in DC at that time as well. Let us know 726 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 1: about what that was like. Because this doesn't get as 727 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:03,120 Speaker 1: much attention. 728 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,399 Speaker 11: No it doesn't, guys, Good morning, three New Yorkers here 729 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,120 Speaker 11: talking about nine to eleven. I mean, if it doesn't 730 00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:10,759 Speaker 11: get more authentic than that, for sure. 731 00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:13,120 Speaker 4: So a couple of things. 732 00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,440 Speaker 11: I was actually in between jobs at the time, and 733 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:20,479 Speaker 11: so I was home and I remember watching the Today Show, 734 00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,279 Speaker 11: and of course I'm watching the coverage of nine to 735 00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,080 Speaker 11: eleven there in New York with the Trade Center and everything, 736 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,799 Speaker 11: and you know, they got Katie Kirk and Matt Lauer on, 737 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,400 Speaker 11: and then all of a sudden, what comes up on 738 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:37,480 Speaker 11: my screen is we interrupt this this show for a 739 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,719 Speaker 11: special report. And I'm thinking to myself, what could be 740 00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,520 Speaker 11: more of a special report? Why are you breaking into 741 00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,040 Speaker 11: nine to eleven coverage? Well, of course we didn't know 742 00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:46,680 Speaker 11: it was nine eleven at the time. We didn't call 743 00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:50,120 Speaker 11: it that. Why are you breaking into this with something else? 744 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:50,800 Speaker 10: What in the world? 745 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:52,719 Speaker 11: And then of course it was they went to it 746 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:56,080 Speaker 11: was w I think it was WRC, the local NBC 747 00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,400 Speaker 11: affiliate here in Washington, say that the Pentagon had just 748 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 11: been hit. And I looked over at my wife and said, 749 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,120 Speaker 11: and I will never forget it. I just said, were 750 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:07,840 Speaker 11: at war, is what I said to her, And indeed 751 00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:12,400 Speaker 11: we were, so you know that that is a memory 752 00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:14,880 Speaker 11: for me at least, And then of course all the 753 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,160 Speaker 11: subsequent stuff at the Pentagon when I went down there 754 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:17,920 Speaker 11: and took a look and it. 755 00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:19,080 Speaker 9: Was just just just horrible. 756 00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,040 Speaker 11: But you know, the other thing I did on that 757 00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,680 Speaker 11: day I remember is checking in on my mom. She 758 00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,040 Speaker 11: worked as a school teacher at the time on Hudson Street, 759 00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:28,920 Speaker 11: as you guys know, right up the block there or 760 00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 11: you know, pretty close to you guys, which is about 761 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:33,960 Speaker 11: I mean, it was roughly about a half mile from 762 00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,960 Speaker 11: the World Trade Center at the time. And you know 763 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:38,960 Speaker 11: she was okay, but you know, you always check on 764 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 11: your loved ones first, guys. 765 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:43,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know. 766 00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:48,160 Speaker 1: And speaking of Washington d C, we believe that flight 767 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,239 Speaker 1: ninety three which crashed in Pennsylvania. I actually just drove 768 00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,759 Speaker 1: past the Flight ninety three memorial just a couple of 769 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:54,279 Speaker 1: weeks ago. 770 00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:55,160 Speaker 5: David Zier. 771 00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,440 Speaker 1: There is a strong belief that that plane was headed 772 00:40:58,440 --> 00:40:59,320 Speaker 1: towards the White House. 773 00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:03,239 Speaker 10: Yes, and Dick Cheney gave the order to intercept it. 774 00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,480 Speaker 10: But the two F sixteens that were tracking it were 775 00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:07,920 Speaker 10: not armed. They would have had to have done a 776 00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:12,120 Speaker 10: kamikaze mission to take it down. But Todd Beemer and 777 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,680 Speaker 10: some other passes, let's roll together, let's roll, overtook the 778 00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:19,840 Speaker 10: plane and let's roll, and it was just an extraordinary event. 779 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,799 Speaker 10: We would be looking at a whole different dynamic at 780 00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:24,840 Speaker 10: nine to eleven. And I just wanted to add, you know, 781 00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:30,440 Speaker 10: flight seventy seven out of Dulles Airport slammed into the 782 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:33,520 Speaker 10: Pentagon with hundreds of witnesses on three ninety five commuting 783 00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:34,360 Speaker 10: to work that morning. 784 00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:36,960 Speaker 4: It happened at about ninetot thirty seven that morning. 785 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:42,239 Speaker 10: After the first two attacks. And you remember Chick Berlin Game, 786 00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:47,080 Speaker 10: a decorated F four Vietnam War pilot, was the pilot 787 00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:50,120 Speaker 10: of that plane, whose sister, Deborah Berlin Game, became the 788 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,320 Speaker 10: leading advocate for the nine to eleven victims. Remember Barbara 789 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,960 Speaker 10: Olson was killed on that plane as well, the wife 790 00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:59,680 Speaker 10: of Solicitor General I forgot his first name, miss Elsen. 791 00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,799 Speaker 10: But you know, also children died on that flight, and 792 00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:06,399 Speaker 10: one hundred and twenty five Kinagon officials died in e Ring, 793 00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,960 Speaker 10: which was under construction. It would have been more populated, 794 00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,280 Speaker 10: you know, but just really tragic. 795 00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:14,520 Speaker 1: You know, David Ready, and you might be able to 796 00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:16,960 Speaker 1: see they're about to walk by us. It wasn't just 797 00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 1: officers and firefighters who died here in New York. We're 798 00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,440 Speaker 1: seeing to hear some people from some of the airlines. 799 00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:28,640 Speaker 1: I mean, the airline industry devastated, not only financially, but 800 00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,440 Speaker 1: they lost so many of their own workers, their pilots, 801 00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,839 Speaker 1: their flight attendants, the other people who work on their 802 00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:36,759 Speaker 1: on those on those jests, and so they're here to 803 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:42,120 Speaker 1: mark the final, sadly resting place of their colleagues as well. 804 00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 5: This was an attack on civilian America. 805 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:46,719 Speaker 1: I mean, we talk about the Pentagon and I get that, 806 00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:50,279 Speaker 1: but understandably, David, what we need to understand is, just 807 00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,920 Speaker 1: like the assassination of Charlie Kirk yesterday, this was an 808 00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:58,160 Speaker 1: attack on unarmed, unsuspecting, innocent people. Yeah. 809 00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:01,480 Speaker 11: And here's the thing, guys, you know, we always sly 810 00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,480 Speaker 11: never forget. And there's a reason that we never forget, 811 00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:07,240 Speaker 11: not only because of the horrific acts of what happened 812 00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:09,600 Speaker 11: on that day, but the fact that, let's be honest, 813 00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,719 Speaker 11: that threat is alive, well and present today. It takes 814 00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:19,400 Speaker 11: different forms, it has different actors, defarious actors, sinful actors, 815 00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,400 Speaker 11: but they're around. We know that we were poured out 816 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,080 Speaker 11: it all the time at real America's voice, people infiltrating 817 00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,640 Speaker 11: this country, and of course abroad, people trying to kill 818 00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:30,399 Speaker 11: the Great Satan. If you will take down the Great 819 00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:34,560 Speaker 11: Satan and kill Americans. So this is why twenty four 820 00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:37,120 Speaker 11: years later, we don't just remember because of the day, 821 00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:39,880 Speaker 11: the tragedy of that day, but because it is an 822 00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:44,480 Speaker 11: ever present threat for sure. So I just think that's 823 00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:45,960 Speaker 11: an important point to remember here. 824 00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:53,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think we keep worrying about the vigilance of America. 825 00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:55,560 Speaker 1: David Zier and I were talking earlier about how it's 826 00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:57,920 Speaker 1: not being taught in schools anymore nine to eleven, or 827 00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:01,919 Speaker 1: at least not being taught properly. That is not only 828 00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,960 Speaker 1: a disservice to the people we remember here today, but 829 00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,400 Speaker 1: it's a disservice to everyone living here in America the 830 00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:08,240 Speaker 1: day who wants. 831 00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,360 Speaker 5: To have a free and peaceful life. We have to 832 00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:11,920 Speaker 5: understand this. 833 00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:13,960 Speaker 1: We don't have to frighten people, We don't have to 834 00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:15,280 Speaker 1: always be downtrodden. 835 00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,520 Speaker 5: But it's as simple as locking your door. 836 00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:19,000 Speaker 1: You also have to tell people you need to be 837 00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:21,320 Speaker 1: vigilant about these things that are going on in the world. 838 00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,800 Speaker 1: We can't turn a blind eye, and we certainly certainly 839 00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:28,400 Speaker 1: certainly can't do things like being soft on crime or 840 00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,440 Speaker 1: basically turn our and decide, well, we're only going to 841 00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,239 Speaker 1: punish certain people if they come from a certain background. 842 00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,960 Speaker 11: You know, we understand that that plane that went down 843 00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,239 Speaker 11: in Chainsville most likely was headed to the White House, 844 00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:41,399 Speaker 11: so we always hear the most likely. 845 00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:42,240 Speaker 4: It's kind of interesting. 846 00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:44,719 Speaker 11: Twenty four years later we hear most likely we never 847 00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:47,880 Speaker 11: hear definitively we had also heard the capital. 848 00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:49,879 Speaker 5: Maybe not one hundred percent sure. 849 00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:52,680 Speaker 11: Maybe you guys have a better authority on this still 850 00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,840 Speaker 11: twenty four years later, but it's just kind of interesting 851 00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:57,600 Speaker 11: how that's always just kind of been the narrative that 852 00:44:57,640 --> 00:44:59,120 Speaker 11: it's been out there, was that the White House was 853 00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:00,359 Speaker 11: the capital something capital. 854 00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:01,360 Speaker 5: Some think it was the White House. 855 00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:04,680 Speaker 11: But beyond all that, either way, think about this, guys, 856 00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,359 Speaker 11: if that plane doesn't go down in Shanksville, does hit 857 00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,920 Speaker 11: the White House, or it does hit the Capitol, beyond 858 00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:13,040 Speaker 11: the lives lost, you know, we talk about rebuilding the 859 00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:15,440 Speaker 11: World Trade Center for the Freedom Tower, what about rebuilding 860 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:15,960 Speaker 11: the Capitol? 861 00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:18,680 Speaker 5: What about rebuilding the White House whatever it was going 862 00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:18,840 Speaker 5: to be. 863 00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,640 Speaker 11: Can you imagine the undertaking that would have been at 864 00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:23,719 Speaker 11: the time. I mean, our country changed so much on 865 00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:25,640 Speaker 11: nine to eleven. Imagine how much more it would have 866 00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:27,240 Speaker 11: if something like that had happened. 867 00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,239 Speaker 5: Yeah, David's your your your thoughts. 868 00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:33,920 Speaker 4: Bob, Dad, it was a zoobeta. 869 00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:39,000 Speaker 10: You know, this guy was filming the Capitol and it 870 00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 10: came out after nine to eleven. British authorities, British Intelligence, 871 00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,560 Speaker 10: the CIA was tracking him. They were tracking a couple 872 00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:48,960 Speaker 10: of guys who are helping house some terrorists, hijackers for 873 00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,920 Speaker 10: nine to eleven in San Diego. There was a history here, 874 00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,960 Speaker 10: but they did not connect the dots, but it appears 875 00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:56,800 Speaker 10: that the Capitol may have been the target. 876 00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:58,919 Speaker 5: Yeah, I wish you again. 877 00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:00,600 Speaker 1: And I know you're seeing some of the people in 878 00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:03,040 Speaker 1: the shot that are walking beside us and along and 879 00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:06,160 Speaker 1: behind us.
