WEBVTT 1 00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:30.000 Day nine to eleven, two thousand Year of Our Lord, 2 00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:33.359 twenty twenty five. My name is Tom Sullivan, and this 3 00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:37.280 is Part two today. I wanted to spend some time 4 00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:40.960 on the police looking for the killer of Charlie Kirk. 5 00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:45.840 We did that in part one of today's podcast, and 6 00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:49.560 on part two. I always want to look back on 7 00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:52.479 nine to eleven. I know it's been twenty four years. 8 00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:57.640 I know there's a lot of people that are not 9 00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:02.159 old enough to remember. I was thinking about Charlie Kirk 10 00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:05.359 in the fact that he was thirty one, and so 11 00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:10.439 if nine to eleven was twenty four years ago, he 12 00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:15.640 was seven years old. I doubt that he has had 13 00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:20.040 a recollection, as most seven seven year olds are not 14 00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:22.599 going to be paying attention to things like that. So 15 00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:24.959 if you're in Charlie was thirty one, so if you're 16 00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:31.439 thirty five, thirty four and younger, you probably do not 17 00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:35.280 remember what was going on on nine to eleven. In fact, 18 00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:40.400 there's a lady who's the president of the nine to 19 00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:45.280 eleven Museum that was talking a little bit about that earlier. 20 00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:50.400 Today, we find so many people alive today who visit 21 00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:53.519 us can't remember nine to eleven themselves. One hundred million 22 00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:56.560 Americans are too young to remember nine to eleven. For them, 23 00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:59.040 they need to encounter the history and hear from others 24 00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:02.400 in order to understand what happened. It's recognizing the lives 25 00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:03.680 and what was lost that day. 26 00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:06.879 Wow, she said one hundred million, that's like one third 27 00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:09.919 of our country. I guess that makes sense after twenty 28 00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:17.120 four years. I have to admit that I am a 29 00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:21.240 softy when it comes to everything about studying nine to 30 00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:25.759 eleven and reliving some of the things that happened that day. 31 00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:28.319 I'll never forget that day. I think all of us 32 00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:32.039 that were old enough will remember exactly where we were, 33 00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:36.240 what we're doing when we heard about the attack on 34 00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.719 our country. That whole day, it just kept that you 35 00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:41.879 just didn't know what was going to happen next. But 36 00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:44.719 I mean, I go back, We've gone to Hawaii to 37 00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:46.919 and go out of our way to make sure and 38 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:51.879 go over to the Pearl Harbor Museum and all of that. 39 00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:54.719 So I mean it's maybe I'm just a museum and 40 00:02:54.879 --> 00:03:01.479 history nut, but if you're in New York, the museum 41 00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:04.439 is a must see. And even if you don't have 42 00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:06.240 time with the museum, you can go down to where 43 00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:09.439 the the plaza is down there. I was looking at 44 00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:14.039 the plaza earlier today from an aerial shot, and I 45 00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:17.000 remember when they planted all the trees down there by 46 00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:22.800 the two fountains that mark the footprint of the two buildings, 47 00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:25.960 and they were just they were just little sticks, like 48 00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:31.039 new trees are. They are so full the complete canopy 49 00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:36.039 of shade over the plaza there by the memorial. So 50 00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:41.520 it's a beautiful place worth going to go see. One 51 00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:45.080 of the items of note today because of Charlie Kirk's 52 00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:49.879 assassination yesterday, the Vice President Jeddie Vance and his wife 53 00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:53.199 were supposed to be at the nine to eleven ceremony 54 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:57.800 this morning, and it was kind of the usual group. 55 00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:01.960 In fact, you know, Rudy Julie Yanni is getting up 56 00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:06.919 in age and he, I don't know, he looked really 57 00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:10.960 old today. He was there, and of course Mike Bloomberg 58 00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:15.800 was there, and so was Zorin Mamdani. Yeah, he was 59 00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:19.279 mixing it up with all the old school New York 60 00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:20.560 politicians down there. 61 00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:21.079 So it was. 62 00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:26.120 A very somber event again where they read the names 63 00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:29.839 of all the people that died and the number by 64 00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:34.120 the way of the people that died at in New 65 00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:37.800 York on nine to eleven on this day two thousand, 66 00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:44.839 nine hundred and seventy seven, just under three thousand. You know, 67 00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:48.480 how many people have died from nine to eleven illnesses 68 00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:54.360 three thousand, seven hundred and sixty seven. And that number 69 00:04:54.879 --> 00:05:01.199 is still growing. They have something like four eight thousand 70 00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:08.120 people that have been had cancers that the doctors certified 71 00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:16.199 were from their exposure to the pile down Lower Manhattan 72 00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:20.839 back in two thousand and one. So it's more people. 73 00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:24.600 Many more people now have died from the illnesses of 74 00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:27.720 trying to go into that building and clean things up 75 00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:30.519 and originally try to look for somebody that was alive. 76 00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:35.319 Many more have died from that than they did on 77 00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:42.240 that particular day. General Jack Keene weighed in. He was 78 00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:46.120 active duty military at the time, and this is his 79 00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:49.839 observation of what we should remember on one to eleven. 80 00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:53.079 Well, first of all, I mean, it's like a wound, 81 00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:57.959 it doesn't heal. And it was such a tragedy for 82 00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:02.160 America on that day. You know, they the al Qaida 83 00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:07.560 strategically were trying to attack our symbols of our economic prosperity, 84 00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:10.879 World Trade Center, and military power at the Pentagon and 85 00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:16.279 the Capital, which the operation failed, the democracy itself. And 86 00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:21.319 we know from interrogating all of al Qaeda's top leaders 87 00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:25.759 that the intent was that bin Laden actually believed that 88 00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:30.879 succeeding at that operation and it was tactically successful, that 89 00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:34.040 it would force the United States to turn inward not outward, 90 00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:38.759 that we would be collapse into ourselves. He had people 91 00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:41.720 who were working for him that advised him to the 92 00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:46.240 contrary that no, you don't understand America. America would likely 93 00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:50.000 respond to come for us, and he overruled them. He 94 00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:52.920 was based on the fact that they took down our 95 00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:56.399 two embassies in Africa in ninety eight minimal response, took 96 00:06:56.399 --> 00:07:00.639 down the USS coal two thousand, no response. He thought, 97 00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:03.800 based on that he could have his way, and it 98 00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:06.319 led to what it led to the strategic value of 99 00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:09.399 al Qaeda as a global organization, not that they don't 100 00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:11.839 have elements that are dangerous, but they're a mere shadow 101 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:15.319 of their former selves, and it woke us. We stopped 102 00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:18.519 thinking as terrorism as a law enforcement problem. We took 103 00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:21.000 it for what it really is, something Israeli has always believed. 104 00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:25.199 It's an act of war, and we responded in kind 105 00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:28.839 and dealt with them rather handily, as we should. And 106 00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:32.360 George Bush said it and others have said it, Since 107 00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:36.040 you kill Americans, we're going to be in pursuit of 108 00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:38.279 you for as long as it takes, and we have 109 00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:41.279 proven that to the American people that kind of determin issue. 110 00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:43.639 I think radical Islam is still out there and it's 111 00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:48.000 still a threat, but we learned the valuable lesson from 112 00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:52.079 nine to eleven that impacted our military and impacted US policies. 113 00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:56.160 That's transcendent presidents, and that is you cannot permit these 114 00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:59.839 radical Islamic movements that have aspirations to hurt us, to 115 00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:05.279 magically and tactically, to have a sanctuary. Afghanistan was a sanctuary. 116 00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:07.879 We knew they had there. We knew they had training 117 00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:10.160 camps there. They knew that's where they could prepare and 118 00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:14.759 plan and rehearse operations, and we stopped that from happening. 119 00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:17.399 We don't chase down radical Islam all over the world. 120 00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:20.959 We only chase those who have aspirations to hurt us. 121 00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:24.720 That was Iraq and Syria, it was in Yemen and 122 00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:28.439 also in Eastern Africa. They all have aspirations outside the 123 00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:31.519 region to hurt us. So we focused our policy on 124 00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:34.639 that and deny them the kind of sanctuary they need 125 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:38.639 to prosper as an organization and be successful like al 126 00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:42.320 Qaeda was because we did not deny them that sanctuary, 127 00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:44.960 and we should have taken that sanctuary away after they 128 00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:49.279 dropped through those embassies in Africa and also damage the US. 129 00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:52.919 And we focus on only those who are going to 130 00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:56.639 hurt us. I mean, the movement is worldwide now. If 131 00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:00.279 people want intelligence from US or maybe some assistance in 132 00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:03.600 training in another movement that doesn't have aspirations that's trying 133 00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:07.080 to hurt their government and their people, we likely assist 134 00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:10.000 in some of that. But where our focuses and we're 135 00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:12.799 going to use military action is against those who are 136 00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:14.720 trying to hurt us, and as such we have kept 137 00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:18.559 that down. There has not been a foreign terrorist attack 138 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:22.039 in this country. And that's because of the digilance that 139 00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:26.919 we have showed through many presidents. Rather than Democrats or Republicans, 140 00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:29.200 they've all agreed on that same policy. We got to 141 00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:31.360 stay focused on those who are trying to hurt us. 142 00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:34.679 We learned that lesson and it's been invaluable to us 143 00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:37.200 in protecting the American people. I'll tell you. One more 144 00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:41.000 appointment when our guys went to Afghanistan just weeks after 145 00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:44.320 nine to eleven and we took down the Taliban very quickly. 146 00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:47.720 I'll never forget talking to the special force of soldiers 147 00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:50.799 who did it, and also the pilots who flew them 148 00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:53.840 in dealing with the Northern Alliance. We had spent a 149 00:09:53.960 --> 00:10:01.879 decade helping other people in Panama and Desert Storm, liberating Kuwait, Basia, Herschelglovina, 150 00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:06.720 Samaya Haiti. You were porting on all of this. In Afghanistan, 151 00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:10.519 it was different. The soldiers just willingly confronted me and said, so, 152 00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:13.399 this is about the American people. This is about taking 153 00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:17.320 care of our people. They always had high morale conducting operations, 154 00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:20.919 but their determination and they resolved and their commitment was 155 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:21.960 really something special. 156 00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:22.279 Yeah. 157 00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:26.679 Jack Keene was four star general at the time and 158 00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:29.879 very much in charge of the military move that we made. 159 00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:31.919 I apologize for a little bit of the You could 160 00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:34.480 hear somebody speaking in the background. It was some of 161 00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:39.039 the speeches that were taking place at the Plaza nine 162 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:44.360 to eleven Plaza. Well, Jack Keane was speaking. So again 163 00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:47.639 I go back and I go down a rabbit hole 164 00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:52.240 every year about everything regarding nine to eleven, and I 165 00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:58.919 thought I would play this for you.

Now, 298 00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:14.960 given what has been going on around the world, some 299 00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:17.319 of the some of the key suspects come to mind. 300 00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:20.240 Osama bin Laden, Eric Sean is with us. 301 00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:22.640 First, I apologize for being out of breath because I 302 00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:26.359 was walking down Fifth Avenue, which is close to our studios, 303 00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:31.519 and I heard a jet flying low, unusually low, over 304 00:19:31.599 --> 00:19:34.880 Fifth Avenue and it made a right toward the towards 305 00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:35.359 the building. 306 00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:36.880 This is clearly deliberate. 307 00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:40.240 Chilling, chilling, horrible scene that we just saw. I think 308 00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:42.319 is attack not just in the World Trade Center, but 309 00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:44.880 at the very soul, in the very heart of our nation. 310 00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:45.240 John. 311 00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:48.920 It is a tragedy. It is abhorrent, It is disgusting. 312 00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:52.799 Obviously, it takes a lot of training and expertise to 313 00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:57.640 fly a complicated, sophisticated aircraft. These are not little sasna's 314 00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:01.440 and little pipers, So there is you have to wonder 315 00:20:01.559 --> 00:20:02.920 what was going on in the cockpit. 316 00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:06.480 Let's bring in David Lee Miller our correspondent, David Lee, 317 00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:07.359 what can you tell us? 318 00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:08.920 Good morning, John.

The only way to 321 00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:15.039 get near the buildings is on foot. Right now, the 322 00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:18.480 scene is absolutely a horrific one. You have people streaming 323 00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:21.000 out of the area. You've got people literally in tears 324 00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:21.440 and shot. 325 00:20:21.839 --> 00:20:24.039 Harvey Kushner is on the line with us.

Not 331 00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:38.720 just one, but two planes. No matter how this turns out, Oh, 332 00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:40.440 this is going to be a day that's going to 333 00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:43.079 live in infamy, and you know it's going to cause 334 00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:45.680 changes in terms of security like this country hasn't ever 335 00:20:45.720 --> 00:20:46.359 seen before. 336 00:20:50.359 --> 00:20:55.079 Let me bring into the conversation, David Asman, my colleague, Yes, John, David, 337 00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:57.240 what can you tell Let's just want to give you 338 00:20:57.279 --> 00:21:01.799 some late breaking information.

One can only guess 341 00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:10.759 that the US Armed Forces is now in a state 342 00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:13.640 of high alert. We are a city under siege right now, 343 00:21:13.960 --> 00:21:17.240 and the United States of America is is warding off 344 00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:21.279 any further terrorist threats on the city of Manhattan. 345 00:21:21.319 --> 00:21:53.599 The city is closed.

Let's listen in today, 355 00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:22.720 we've had a national tragedy. 356 00:22:24.519 --> 00:22:30.079 Two airplanes have crashed into the World Trade Center in 357 00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:35.440 an apparent terrorist attack on our country. I have spoken 358 00:22:35.480 --> 00:22:38.400 to the Vice President, to the Governor of New York, 359 00:22:39.400 --> 00:22:43.039 to the director of the FBI, and I've ordered that 360 00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:46.759 the full resources of the federal government go to help 361 00:22:46.799 --> 00:22:51.200 the victims and their families and to conduct a full 362 00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:57.079 scale investigation to hunt down and to find those folks 363 00:22:57.960 --> 00:23:03.000 who committed this act terrorism against our nation will not stand. 364 00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:06.640 And now if you join me in a moment of silence, 365 00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:14.759 May God bless the victims their families in America. 366 00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:16.000 Thank you very much. 367 00:23:16.799 --> 00:23:20.720 You just got to wonder what reaction happens next.
