1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: This next story. I'm sure you've seen this, heard about it. 2 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:06,280 Speaker 1: This is a kind of thing infuriates me. And I 3 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,639 Speaker 1: have to tell you when I watched the Path to 4 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:10,800 Speaker 1: nine eleven. By the way, we're going back to audio 5 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:17,280 Speaker 1: soundbites three and uh and four next ed I just 6 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,319 Speaker 1: when I saw all of the hesitation and all the 7 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 1: rules and all the regulations that prevented us from taking 8 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:29,159 Speaker 1: out Bin Laden or other terrorists, my blood boiled. And 9 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: now there's their stories in the New York Post today 10 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 1: Taliban and there's a picture of it. Taliban terror leaders 11 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: who had gathered for a funeral, and we're secretly being 12 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: watched by an eye in the sky. American drone dodged 13 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: assassination because US rules of engagement bar attacks in cemeteries. 14 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: According to a shocking report, US intelligence officers in Afghanistan 15 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,279 Speaker 1: are still fuming about the recent lost opportunity for an 16 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: easy kill of Taliban han shows packed in tight formation 17 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: for the burial. NBC News had the pictures. It looks 18 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 1: like there might be a hundred ninety of them there. 19 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: The unmanned drone circling undetected high overhead, fed a continuous 20 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 1: satellite feed of the target to officers in the ground. 21 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,199 Speaker 1: We were so excited they came rushing in with the picture, 22 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: one U S Army officer told NBC. But that excitement 23 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,680 Speaker 1: quickly got to turn to gut wrenching frustration because the 24 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: rules of engagement on the ground in Afghanistan blocked the 25 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: US from mounting a missile or bomb strike in a cemetery. 26 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 1: According to the report, Pentagon officials declined comment. Referred to 27 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: New York Post to Central Command officers in Afghanistan, who 28 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 1: didn't respond to request for comment or explanation by by 29 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: press time. Now, the Taliban bombs other Muslim funerals. The 30 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: Taliban hides behind women and children, as does al Qaeda 31 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: and all of these other terrorists. This is a new 32 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,559 Speaker 1: kind of war, and we're gonna have to rethink these rules. 33 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: I know why we do it, folks, I know why 34 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: we do what we do it to, uh maintain the 35 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: United States dignity and and and so forth. I understand 36 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: that blowing up cemeteries and this sort of thing. But man, 37 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: when these people are we just we spell out hiding 38 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: places for him, uh in the in the process. Let 39 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: me go back. There's a couple more soundbites here on 40 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: the Path to nine eleven UM, we have an unreal 41 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: analysis here from a professor at the University of Pennsylvania 42 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: his name is Michael Dellicapini, and being interviewed by PBS 43 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 1: Course Moment Jeffrey Brown, who says, there have been reports 44 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 1: in recent days about ties between the filmmakers the past 45 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:47,119 Speaker 1: to nine eleven and conservative causes our organizations. I wan quickly, 46 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: and it's not quite clear what that means exactly, or 47 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: what those ties would mean. But because it's been so 48 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: much disgusting, what ways would that matter to you? Perhaps? 49 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: In what ways wouldn't it matter to you? I think 50 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: it matters a lot. And the ties are both with 51 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: the direct and with the screenwriter, and they have to 52 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 1: do with involvements with organizations that have as part of 53 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: their mission bringing more conservative views into mainstream media. What 54 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: the audience needs to know and what needs to be 55 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: upfront with people as they view it, if they're going 56 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: to watch it critically and understand what's being said to them, 57 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: is that that's the case. I would put on the 58 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: network a very strong obligation to let its audience know 59 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: that they are getting a film that comes from a 60 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: point of view, even if there is an effort to 61 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: make that point of view more subtle. Stop stop that, 62 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: Mr Mr Deli Carpini, Would you also agree that we 63 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: need such disclaimers in front of practically ninety percent of 64 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: the movies that come out of Hollywood, from the big 65 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: screen and for television. What is this to say that 66 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: there is an agenda behind movies? Is new and only 67 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: conservatives are doing it and the public needs to be 68 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: warned about this. And by the way, what is so 69 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: threatening and what is so dangerous about conservatives in Hollywood 70 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: attempting to produce and write and distribute product. Well, I'll 71 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: tell you what's so threatening about it, folks, The same 72 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 1: way this program threatens them. They used to have a 73 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: monopoly and they're worried, sick they're going to lose it. 74 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: This movie, The Path to nine eleven, was an earth 75 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: chattering But what is no crime in being sorry this 76 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 1: there is? Conservatism is criminal. They're attempting to criminalize conservative ideology. 77 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: Here's the rest of the bite. We got one more 78 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,160 Speaker 1: from this guy, just as we would expect a news 79 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: show to tell us where their information is coming from. 80 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: Is there a bias? Is this an opinion hold? Hold 81 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: hold it. When do we get that? When do we 82 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: ever get a new show telling us of their bias 83 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: and where a certain story came from? What is this 84 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: guy is a professor at the University of Pennsylvania. Here's 85 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: the rest active presentation of things. And then the next 86 00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 1: bite is this, uh, actually different, different, It's not the 87 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: same guy that that again was a University of Pennsylvania 88 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: professor Michael Dela Carpini. On MSNBC yesterday, the anchor Babe 89 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:16,479 Speaker 1: Melissa ray Burger talking to Democrats strategiist Flavia Colgan. Maybe 90 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: it's Flavia. I don't know, I've never heard it pronounced, 91 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: ray Burger says, after you saw the Path to nine level, 92 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 1: are you upset ABC didn't pull it all together or 93 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: did the edited version make a difference? Oh, absolutely not one. 94 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 1: I think it undercuts the credibility of a film when 95 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: you have it being released to Rush Limball beforehand, forty 96 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: million dollars funding it. We don't know where it's coming from. 97 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 1: Sandy Burger and Clinton were well um within their rights 98 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 1: certainly to appeal to Tom Kine the forty million dollars 99 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: and we don't know where it came from. How about ABC. 100 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: It's an ABC movie. Flavia Flavia Touchstone put it out. 101 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: I do who have the DVDs? It's imitates him so much. 102 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 1: They can't they can't get over this. They're beside themselves 103 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: with the fact that I got the DVDs. But I 104 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: wasn't the first Flavia Flavia. How many times have I 105 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: got to say this? This movie was screening the National 106 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: Press Club and half the audience was Democrats, including Richard 107 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: ben ven East and some people from the nine eleven Commission. 108 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: I was not first on the list. I had nothing 109 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: to do with writing this thing. I didn't even talk 110 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: to Cyrus nor Rasta in the process. All I knew 111 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: was some years ago he was working on it. But frankly, 112 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: when he told me about it, it went in one 113 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: ear and out the other, because I figured this thing. 114 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: Don't have a prayer, but go for it, Cyrus. I 115 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 1: didn't even get all the details. I had no clue 116 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 1: what this thing was gonna be before I. They think 117 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 1: I wrote it. They think they told I guided Cyrus 118 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 1: and what Cyrus and his people. This is an ABC project, folks, 119 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 1: This is an ABC project. And I'll bet you before 120 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: all this hubbub came up. This thing was so good. 121 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: I will bet you ABC I thought it was one 122 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: of the greatest things they'd ever produced internally, this University 123 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: of Pennsylvania professor. For just a second, Michael Delhi Carpini 124 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: PBS News or with Jim Alara being asked about the 125 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: movie Path to nine eleven and uh, I'm not gonna 126 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: listen the whole thing stand by ed for when I 127 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: tell you to kill it. I think it matters a lot. 128 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: And the ties are both with the director and with 129 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: the screenwriter, and they have to do with involvements with 130 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: organizations that have, as part of their mission bringing more 131 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: conservative views into mainstream media. What the audience needs to 132 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: know and what needs to be upfront with people as 133 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: they view it. If they're going to watch it critically 134 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: and understand what's being said to them, is that that's 135 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: the case. I would put on the network a very 136 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: strong obligation to let its audience know that they are 137 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: getting a film that comes from a point of view. 138 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: Stop the alright, are Mr Della Carpini. Let's say I 139 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: were to take your suggestion to something useful and valuable. 140 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: I would then say this to PBS and the News 141 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: are with Jim Larra, and next time you have University 142 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: of Pennsylvania professor Michael Della carpinion, Inform your viewers he 143 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: has a point of view. Inform your viewers where he 144 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: comes from. Inform your viewers whether he's a liberal criticizing 145 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: what he thinks, he is a conspiratorial conservative movie. I mean, 146 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: if it's good for the goose, it's good for the gander. 147 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: If conservatives in Holly would have to identify their work, 148 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 1: we're conservatives, and this has a conservative slant that I 149 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: think every liberal ought to be forced to do the 150 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: same thing. People, you know that all these professors and 151 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: all these elite is the smartest people in the world 152 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: cut above, and they're not. They're so easily refutable that 153 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: it's it's refutable for those of you in real inda 154 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: that it's hardly worth the time. I want to go 155 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: back and correct something folks. I said a moment ago 156 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: that these libs think that I co wrote the Path 157 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: to nine eleven because I'm a friend of the writer 158 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: Cyrus No Resta, and they think and they aren't there 159 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: trying to say that the released the Limball first Limball, 160 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: and trying to imply Limball was in on it. Here's 161 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: the bottom line. They know I had nothing to do 162 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: with this. They know full well I had nothing to 163 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 1: do with any aspect of this movie. This is just 164 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: the way they do things, typical smear tactics. I'm bad, Cyrus, 165 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: No rest is bad. That equals the movie is bad. 166 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: They do it to people. They do it to people 167 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 1: like me and Cheney and Bush and Rovan Rumsfeld.
