We had just brought him 29 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: home from the hospital. So Tom took a shower and 30 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 1: I went in to take care of Justin. My oldest 31 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: was seven and he wasn't feeling well, so we were 32 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: deciding on whether or not to keep him home from school. 33 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: My daughter was just four years old. It was her 34 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: first day of nursery school. And Tom came into the 35 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: nursery to see Justin and he kissed him on his 36 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: tiny little toes and he said, you know, I'll see 37 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: you later, baby, And I picked Justin up and I 38 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: walked down the hall with Tom, and he went down 39 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: the stairs and to the front door and opened the door, 40 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 1: turned around and said, I'll see you later. I'll be 41 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: home by two and I love you. And that was 42 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: the last time I saw my husband alive. But he 43 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: called you, he did. He actually called twice that morning. 44 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: The first phone call came in when he first got 45 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: to work, checking in on Thomas to see what decision 46 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: we had made. And I was going to keep him 47 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: home from school because he was sick. We had asthma, 48 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: and so we said goodbye, and then the phone rang again, 49 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: and I almost didn't answer it because I was busy 50 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: with the kids. But I picked it up. I thought 51 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: maybe he wanted to just say hi to one of them, 52 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: maybe Caitlin before she left for school. And his voice 53 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,359 Speaker 1: sounded frantic on the other end. I'd never heard him 54 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: sound like this before. And he told me that a 55 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: first words out of his mouth were Terry playing hit 56 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: the building. Well that just sent you know, shivers down 57 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: my spine. And I'm standing in front of the television 58 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: set at this moment and there's nothing on the TV, 59 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: so I'm thinking small airplane. He said, you know it' 60 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: tar boulders fire. There's smoke, and I could hear a 61 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,519 Speaker 1: lot of screaming and commotion in the background like I'd 62 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: never heard before. And Tom's been on a trading floor 63 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: for years, so I'm used to screaming, but I'm used 64 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: to yelling out, you know things, not screaming in a 65 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: panicked way. So he told me that he was with 66 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: a group of people that had a cell phone. We 67 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: didn't have a cell phone back then yet, and that 68 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: he was going to go to the stairwell and you know, 69 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: try to get out. So we said a few more 70 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: private things to each other, and you know, I just 71 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: said good luck and hung up the phone, yelled out 72 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: to my mother, who was there visiting. You know, I said, Mom, Mom, 73 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: come here, I said, you know, Tom just told me 74 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: a plane has hit his building. Then it came on 75 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: the TV. So this is you know, two or three minutes, 76 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: and I can see what the world was seeing that black, 77 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: thick smoke billowing out of the North Tower, exactly where 78 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: Tom was. He worked on one hundred and fourth floor 79 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: of the North Tower for Kenner Fitzgerald. So I just 80 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: started screaming to my mother. I said, nobody can get 81 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: out of that. Look how horrible that is. Nobody can 82 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: get out of that. And we made a decision right 83 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: there and then to keep the children out of the room. 84 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: Thomas and Caitlin were downstairs, so I sent my mother 85 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 1: back downstairs. I had the baby with me, and then 86 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 1: we just started taking turns with the kids and watching 87 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: it on television in my bedroom. So I was standing 88 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: in front of the TV when the next plane came 89 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: in and hit the South Tower. And that's when chill's 90 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,359 Speaker 1: you know, just throughout my body, because you knew that 91 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 1: was deliberate, and so you now know that the first 92 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,559 Speaker 1: one was as well. And you could see the size 93 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: of the airplane that hit that building, So you knew. 94 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: I knew then what was happening, and it was horrifying. 95 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 3: It was horrifying, and you know, you and I don't 96 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 3: know each other, but I responded to nine to eleven 97 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 3: to the Pentagon, and when the second plane hit, like you, 98 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 3: it was very clear to me that this was deliberate, 99 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 3: that we were under attack somehow from someone. But you 100 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 3: watching it with a loved one in the North tower 101 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 3: on the one hundred and fourth floor, that's a whole 102 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 3: different ballgame. I mean we were all watching it horrified 103 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 3: and scared and upset. But your life was literally changing, honey, 104 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 3: and you knew it. I mean you said to your mama, 105 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 3: nobody can get out of that. 106 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. It just was absolutely horrifying. And to see the people, 107 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: you know, dangling out and looking for help, and that's 108 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: what I was also, help them, help them. Somebody who's 109 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: going to help these people. I ran downstairs two and 110 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: got out my rollhood decks and for people that don't 111 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: know what that is, that's where we used to keep 112 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: our person phone. 113 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, you got some cans right now going home? 114 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 4: Yeah, So I started calling Mike Caunter, Fitzgerald, friends, you 115 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 4: know people that husbands would be there also, And every 116 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 4: phone call was the same answer, No, I haven't heard 117 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 4: from him. 118 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: No, I haven't heard from him. And then one one 119 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 1: wife said, yes, Danny got to call out. And I 120 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 1: said before or after, and they said before the plane 121 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: hit or after the plane hit. I said, okay, so 122 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: he's in the same boat thomasin he's trapped up there, 123 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: or it looks like they're trapped. I didn't know then. 124 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: What I know now is that all the stairwells were 125 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: gone and that the door to the rooftop was locked, 126 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: so they were trapped on those floors. 127 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 3: Well, Terry, tell us this, tell us about Tom. Tell 128 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 3: us about you and Tom. The love story. 129 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: Well, Tom was a wonderful, vibrant, very charismatic man. We 130 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: met when I was nineteen and he was twenty one 131 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: one summer at a golf club. He was an assistant 132 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: golf proback then. He hadn't started working on Wall Street yet, 133 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: and it was a a nice hot summer romance and 134 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: we went our separate ways, and then the next year 135 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: we met up again at the same place and he 136 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: went to work for Wall Street. At the end of 137 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: that summer, he was an outdoorsman. He loved the outdoor. 138 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: He is a fabulous fisherman. He loved a saltwater and 139 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: freshwater fish. He went hunting on an annual trip with 140 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: his brothers. He anything he tried to do, he excelled at. 141 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: I had a wonderful sense of humor and just a 142 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: huge heart. So we had fallen in love, and I 143 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: moved to New York City. We lived there for six 144 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: years where the Twin Tower, the North Tower, is right 145 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: there out our window. We lived right across the street 146 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: in Bownery Park City for six years before we decided 147 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,679 Speaker 1: to start a family and we moved out to Chatham, 148 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: New Jersey, a wonderful place to raise children and still 149 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: a very easy commute into the city. So we were 150 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: happily married and had our whole future ahead of us. 151 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 1: You know, I think everybody out there that has a 152 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 1: family what it's like when you bring a newborn home. 153 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: Everybody's just excited and you're going to go back into 154 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: this crazy routine of having a newborn with a four 155 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: year old and a seven year old. But we were 156 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: a great team. We did everything together, and he was 157 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: a wonderful family man, a wonderful brother, and son and 158 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: a great great father and he's just deeply missed by 159 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: everyone that knew him and loved him. 160 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 3: And you know, you go from a nineteen year old 161 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 3: to a wife, to a mother to having a chairmanship. Now, 162 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 3: I'm going to tell you that's a switch. And you 163 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 3: know he's in the business world. I mean, you talk 164 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 3: about Wall Street, you talk about being on that floor. 165 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 2: I mean that to me is chaotic. 166 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 3: The three children may be the easier day, but that 167 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 3: wasn't your world. Now you're having high level meetings with 168 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 3: presidents and vice presidents of the United States and you know, 169 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 3: major corporations. I mean, that's quite a shift again in 170 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 3: your life in a positive way. But still, I mean 171 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 3: that's a lot. 172 00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: Yes, And it wasn't anything I was prepared for. Just 173 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 1: happened to know a few people when So what happened 174 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:11,199 Speaker 1: is the nine to eleven community, most of the families 175 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: filed a lawsuit against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for 176 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: the role that they played in providing the material support 177 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 1: for the attacks. Now, our country isn't looking at Saudi 178 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: Arabia at this time. They're going into Afghanistan and into Iraq. 179 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: But we know that someone had to sponsor the attack. 180 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: Al Qaeda. We knew they were the ones that attacked us, 181 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 1: but who was sponsoring al Qaeda? And that wasn't being 182 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: looked at by our government the way it should be, 183 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 1: Like now we know hamas Hezballah and you know that 184 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 1: Iran is the sponsor of those terrorist organizations the country. 185 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: The government was not looking at who sponsored the attacks, 186 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: but our lawyers were. And that's how I got involved 187 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 1: in eventually becoming the national chair for the Nine eleven Families. 188 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: Was I became a plaintiff in the case. Then I 189 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: joined a steering committee with the law firm, and that 190 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 1: then progressed into working on legislation in Washington, d C. 191 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: And that's really the bulk of the work that I did, 192 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: was working on counter terrorism legislation for American victims that 193 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 1: have been attacked on American soil. 194 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 3: Well, I just want to say again, here's this beautiful 195 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 3: mama three living the Wall Street life. I mean, you've 196 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 3: got this beautiful home in New Jersey, you are a 197 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 3: devoted wife and mama, and now you're taking on terrorist organizations. 198 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 3: So you, to me, are like that mama that lifts 199 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 3: that car off her baby. Or stands in front of 200 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 3: that grizzly bearer. I mean, you are fearless, and I 201 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 3: don't think people really understand you are dealing with some 202 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,559 Speaker 3: people that clearly are violent, clearly have money, clearly has 203 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 3: some things to hide, and you're like, yeah, I'm will 204 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 3: say it. I will say it out loud, I will 205 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 3: say it in front of God and country, and let's 206 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 3: go after them. 207 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 4: Yes. 208 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 1: Absolutely, I am a patriot. I love my country and 209 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 1: we were brutally attacked on September eleventh by an enemy 210 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 1: I didn't even know existed. I didn't know about Al Kaita. 211 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: I didn't know about Usama bin Laden and his fat 212 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 1: law that they were going to attack America and kill 213 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: Americans on American soil. That was his goal. And I 214 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: didn't realize that they were behind some of the attacks 215 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: I'd read about in the headlines. I didn't know they 216 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: were behind the attacks of our US embassies just let's see. 217 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 1: I think nineteen ninety eight. I didn't know that they 218 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,559 Speaker 1: were behind the USS coal attack, but they were. And 219 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: I didn't know very much details about the time they 220 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 1: hit us in nineteen ninety three, when they bombed the 221 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: North Tower. I didn't know that they promised to come 222 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: back and finish the job. I learned all of these things, 223 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: and it was horrifying to learn that there was that 224 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: much hatred against Americans and far away places, and that 225 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: there were terrorist organizations that were one hundred percent committed 226 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: to killing innocent Americans. But when you look at it, 227 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: you have to say to yourself, who is giving them 228 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: what they need? Because a terrorist doesn't have a nine 229 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: to five job, so who is giving them the financial 230 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: means to carry out these horrific attacks? And that was 231 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: the name of my organization in the beginning was Nine 232 00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: Love and Families United to Bankrupt Terrorism. Our goal has 233 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 1: always been to expose the underbelly of terrorism, and that 234 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: is the money. And how does it get from a 235 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: country like Saudi Arabia into the hands of terrorists that 236 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: actually do come to America and murder Americans. 237 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 3: Kind of lays it out, doesn't it. I mean, I 238 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 3: can move to China, but I ain't Chinese. So if 239 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 3: you look at their background and it's Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia, 240 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 3: Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia, well that ain't an accident. 241 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: Right, So Osami Bin Lauden was a Saudi national. Fifteen 242 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: of the nineteen hijackers were Saudi nationals. And it wasn't 243 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: a secret to the government that the Kingdom was funding 244 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: al Qaeda. They just weren't stopping it like they should have. 245 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,119 Speaker 1: They weren't taking it seriously. They weren't taking the necessary 246 00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: steps to cut off that money supply. Still haven't to 247 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: this day. Our government has not fully addressed terrorism financing. 248 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: If they did, we wouldn't see well funded terrorist organizations 249 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: all around the world. So I think when the United 250 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: States ignored that fact post nine to eleven, it sent 251 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: a very dangerous message to the world that the United 252 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: States of America can be really attacked. Nearly three thousand 253 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: citizens can be killed and the government does nothing about it. 254 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 3: And you're talking about flight lessons, airline tickets, hotels, food. 255 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 3: They put some money in it and didn't even try 256 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 3: to hide. 257 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: It, right they So you have to go back to 258 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: the early nineteen eight well, the early nineteen nineties and 259 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: the nineteen eighties, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was exporting 260 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: extremism around the world. They were building mosques around the 261 00:15:55,040 --> 00:16:00,040 Speaker 1: world and filling it with filling them with extremists. The 262 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: United States was not immune to that practice, and this 263 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: was all part of their plan to put people in 264 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: places so that when al Qaeda is a very organized 265 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: terrorist organization, and they do things very methodically and they 266 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: do things in advance to prepare for the actual terrorists 267 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: that where they're going to put them in place. So 268 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: it was only two weeks after the nineteen ninety eight 269 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: bombing of two of our embassies in Africa that they 270 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: sent an advanced team. Two of the same people that 271 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: were involved in that attack came to the United States 272 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: through California, into California to begin the preparation for the 273 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: nineteen Back then, it was twenty hijackers to enter into 274 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: the United States, and they used in moms, these extremists 275 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: in these mosques to gather individuals that could then become 276 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: part of They called their support teams, their support network, 277 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: and the first one was set up out in San Diego, 278 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: Los Angeles and San Diego to meet the first two 279 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: arriving hijackers. And we've learned so much about those two individuals, 280 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: Cosmi and Madar, But I'm going to tell you something 281 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: that's really shocking. We didn't learn it all from the 282 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: United States government and the FBI's investigative reports. We learned 283 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 1: most of the damning evidence against the individuals that came 284 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: into the United States or the support network. We learned 285 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,919 Speaker 1: who was in charge of that support network, mostly from 286 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 1: the United Kingdom, and it was Scotland Yards that released 287 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:53,919 Speaker 1: evidence that our own government refused to release. That's the 288 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: real shocking part to me, after all this work that 289 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: I've been doing for now almost twenty five years years 290 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 1: that it was last year or the year before when 291 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: our lawyers finally went over to London and retrieved all 292 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: of this evidence, and it was shocking what we saw, 293 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 1: and it was shocking what was exposed in the courtroom. 294 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: And it was that evidence with other things that were 295 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: shown in the courtroom that day that finally a judge 296 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: said to us that you have presented enough evidence that 297 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,479 Speaker 1: your case can go to trial. So we're suing, not 298 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: only suing the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, We're going to 299 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 1: go to trial against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It's 300 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: pretty incredible. 301 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 3: Unbelievable, and thank god for Scotland Yard, and thank god 302 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 3: for you because the more y'all are pushing and the 303 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 3: more you're exposing, then the better protected we're going to be. 304 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: Yes, That's always been the one hundred percent crux of 305 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: why I do this is to have a safer America. 306 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: Because these cells, these these support networks that were put 307 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,120 Speaker 1: in place, would call them cells, weren't just in California. 308 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: They were in Florida, they were in Virginia, they were 309 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: in New Jersey. That advanced team that came in traveled 310 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 1: through Missouri and through Arizona, so all through our country. 311 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we had some issues in Georgia. 312 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: You probably did. It wouldn't surprise me. I should say. 313 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: You know Minnesota. You know they were taking like you said, 314 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,400 Speaker 1: they were taking their flight lessons, they were taking English lessons, 315 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: getting apartments, bank accounts, gym memberships, everything that they needed 316 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 1: to assimilate because the first two that came here didn't 317 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 1: even speak English and they were terrorists. 318 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, didn't they take English lessons as well? 319 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 3: Yes? 320 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: Yes, so, but you had to have people here put 321 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: in place. And so this entire organization that I'm speaking 322 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 1: of now was run through the Ministry of Islamic Affairs 323 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: more Oh, yeah, through the Saudi Arabian Embassy in Washington, 324 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: d c. So that's where these Saudi nationals, Saudi government 325 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: employees on the Saudi payroll were working, and they were 326 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: the ones that were giving the orders on all these 327 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: other individuals and how to help the hijackers. So you 328 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 1: have in the embassy right there in Washington, d c 329 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: approgiatis anti American program called Moya, and they are the 330 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:40,679 Speaker 1: ones that were in charge of facilitating the attacks. And 331 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 1: that is absolutely horrifying. 332 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 3: So I mentioned Georgia. I want to talk a little 333 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 3: bit about the Masters. I love the Masters. I think 334 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 3: it's regal, i think it's historic. I think as far 335 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 3: as sports, it's one of my favorite Sundays of the year. 336 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 3: But what happened, I'm Phil Michlson out Miselle. Explain this 337 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 3: to me, Explain how this happens and people aren't losing. 338 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 2: Their mind over it. 339 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 1: Yes, it was shocking to wake up one day and 340 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: hear about live Golf and that Phil Michelson and these 341 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 1: other you know, up and coming golfers were all part 342 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: of Live Golf. And what is live golf? Well, Live 343 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 1: Golf is run by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It's 344 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: it's funded by if their their financial account. So do 345 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 1: billion dollars is what I was reading. You know, it's 346 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: going to go into live golf. Well, let's what exactly 347 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: is that. Oh, it's it's going to be a golf 348 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 1: entity that wants to take over American golf. It's not 349 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: going to just be a rival. They want to own 350 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:58,439 Speaker 1: the PGA T And I found that absolutely. You know, 351 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,479 Speaker 1: we're in the middle of this lawsuit where evidence is 352 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: being shown in a courtroom how deeply involved the Kingdom 353 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:13,719 Speaker 1: was in facilitating September eleventh, and now we've got I 354 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: don't want to call golfers American heroes, but American idols, 355 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: you know, going to join an organization by the Kingdom 356 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: and take over and destroy the PGAT. And my husband, 357 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 1: like he was a scratch golfer, he thought about being 358 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:34,640 Speaker 1: a golf pro, going professional before he went to work 359 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: on Wall Street. He was in four tournaments and they 360 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: didn't work out as well as he had hoped, so 361 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: he decided to go to work on Wall Street. But 362 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,199 Speaker 1: golf was a very important game to him and in 363 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: our family. He was taking Katie and Tommy to the 364 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 1: range and teaching them, you know, how to hit a ball. 365 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: And they were young, but they were going to start 366 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: to learn about golf etiquette, and yes, Sundays were or 367 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: the Masters that Sunday was just as special in our home. 368 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:07,120 Speaker 1: Also because of the history of the game of golf, 369 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: the level of it was a gentleman's sport. The game 370 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: of golf a game that took a lot of dedication 371 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 1: to get to that level. It's an individual sport because 372 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,880 Speaker 1: you're always trying to do your personal best and beat that, 373 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: and yet you're competing against great players. Also, and to 374 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,920 Speaker 1: watch a golf game with somebody that loves the game 375 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 1: as much as Tom did, it was more exciting than 376 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. So it was very, very disturbing to 377 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: wake up and learn that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 378 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: was now going to potentially own our American golf and 379 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 1: that was really upsetting to me. So I rifled off 380 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 1: a letter immediately to Phil Nicholson and a few of 381 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: the others. I guess it was sent out to their agents, 382 00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: trying to explain to them that it's a betrayal against 383 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: Americans and some betrayal against the sport to even consider 384 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:11,159 Speaker 1: starting up something that would take over golf. And it 385 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 1: fell on deaf ears. I mean Phil Nicholson was asked 386 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: about it in some press conferences and he tried to 387 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: He wasn't even very polite about it, so you could 388 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 1: tell he was already in bed with the Saudist because 389 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:27,199 Speaker 1: he was already being pretty rude. And that's what was 390 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: just really hard to stomach watching them all so greedily 391 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,879 Speaker 1: excited about the sums of money they were going to 392 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: get when you have families that are still grieving over 393 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: their losses and will never be the same. No, there 394 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: were over three thousand children that lost a parent on 395 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:54,719 Speaker 1: September eleventh, and those kids have suffered terribly over the years, 396 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: and it was just very painful to listen to Phil 397 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: and other golfers get so excited about betraying their country. 398 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 2: And Tom was a fan of his, a huge fan. 399 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: Tom was a lefty also and the kids love to 400 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: watch him also because he was kind of a scrappy player, 401 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 1: you know, you could get himself into trouble, but he 402 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 1: always got out, so he was exciting to watch and 403 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 1: you know, he was just a great golfer, So it 404 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: was he was very enjoyable until he turned into you know, 405 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,479 Speaker 1: a monster. I mean, anybody that thinks it's okay to do. 406 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 1: What they did is is they see money and that's 407 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: all they see. So what kind of human are you? 408 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: You know, not the kind I want to be around. 409 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 3: And you know, Terry, we have that in common too, 410 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 3: because my husband plays, he's pretty good. Our daughter has 411 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 3: a natural swing. I mean, they told us from jump, 412 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,880 Speaker 3: don't touch it, don't give her any advice, you know. 413 00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 2: But our son he can flat play. It's nice. It's 414 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 2: something we can do as a family. 415 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:03,400 Speaker 1: Now. 416 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 3: I don't play, but I love to drive a golf 417 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 3: cart and I like the drink girl that comes by. 418 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 4: You know, it sounds just like my family because I 419 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 4: was told the same thing about one of my kids. 420 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: That's a natural swing, don't mess with it. And the 421 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: other one, you know, well, both of my sons played 422 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: in high school. Justin was the captain of his golf 423 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: team as a senior, but that was during COVID, so 424 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,920 Speaker 1: that they never even got to play a match, which 425 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,439 Speaker 1: was really a shame because he'd worked so hard to 426 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: become captain. But they and my daughter very natural swing. 427 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 1: So they love the game of golf, and so yes, 428 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: it was upsetting to all of us. It's so hard 429 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: to put what a betrayal feels like but anybody out 430 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 1: there that's ever been betrayed by a loved one, a spouse, 431 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,360 Speaker 1: a boss, a best friend, it's a pet in your 432 00:26:54,400 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: stomach that hurts and it's hard to recover from. So again, 433 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,880 Speaker 1: I think the kids have suffered so much and they 434 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:09,160 Speaker 1: didn't need this type of you know, this type of 435 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 1: angst and disappointment in their lives. 436 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 3: Well, I know, when I first heard of LIV I thought, 437 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 3: this can't be real. I mean, you can't just start 438 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 3: your own you know, whatever it's called. I mean, a 439 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 3: group of professional golfers, you start your own entity. That 440 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 3: just seemed is like the way I felt about bitcoin. 441 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 3: I thought, I just can't put my face. 442 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 2: On a million dollar bill and get people to use 443 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 2: it like that just seems like fake. 444 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 3: It seems false, and it seems like there's an alternative motive. 445 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 2: In my opinion, there was. 446 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 1: There was an absoluteitary motive, and it was to destroy 447 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 1: the PGAT. It was to destroy our professional golf take 448 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 1: it over and turn it into a circus. 449 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, little by little, but if you take over in 450 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 3: any way any fraction of an inch of our land, 451 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 3: our history, anything. 452 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: It would change the landscape of Golf forever. But what really, 453 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,959 Speaker 1: I guess, really was bothering me was that every kid 454 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: that was playing on their high school team or in 455 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,160 Speaker 1: college right at that moment when Live Golf came out, 456 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 1: and because they loved the game and they were aspiring, 457 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: some of them probably to play professional, that all of 458 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,120 Speaker 1: them would end up playing for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. 459 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,880 Speaker 1: None of them would ever have the opportunity of playing 460 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,400 Speaker 1: for the PGAT if Lift Golf and the PGAT merged. 461 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: That was unacceptable to me, And that's why we fought 462 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 1: Live Golf, or I fought Live golf so hard is 463 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 1: I didn't want to see all those kids end up 464 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: playing for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. When you are 465 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: an American plane in an American soil, you should be 466 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 1: playing for an American team. And that's what they wanted, 467 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: and I didn't want to see that taken from them. 468 00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 3: Well, I don't think it could be said any better. 469 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 3: That's a good place to stop right there. Sure, Terry Strata, 470 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 3: I appreciate you. I appreciate your patriotism, I appreciate your fight, 471 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 3: and I appreciate you protecting all of us. 472 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 1: Well, you're very welcome. It's an honor to represent the families, 473 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 1: and it's now my calling to see this to the 474 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: end and to expose the Kingdom and hold them accountable. 475 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 2: I'm going to end Zone seven the way that I 476 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 2: always do with. 477 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,719 Speaker 3: A quote, never forget. 478 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 2: I'm Cheryl McCollum and this is Zone seven.
