All America all the time. Sit down, buckle up, and get ready for the Dan Bongino Show. Good morning and welcome to the Dan Vonjino show. It's Sean Ferris filling in. It is the 25th anniversary of the September 11th, 2001 attacks. And obviously that is going to be a major. That's what the entire show is about. It's titled Never Forget.

Because unfortunately, as we've seen, whether it's because of education or toxic social media algorithms or just this, this short attention span that our nation finds itself in. You say never forget, and we've been saying it for 25 years, and somehow that message just isn't sinking in for some. a lot of people forgot or are in the process of forgetting or they're in the process of erasing what happened 25 years ago today. I will give you today in this episode the perspective of someone who was in fifth grade.

That was me on Long Island, about 40 miles east of New York City. and the aftermath and what that meant and all the details that I can remember and all the conversations and things involving 9-11 that I have been through, I don't mean to say that for pity, I mean, to just have experienced since that day. And we will not. Redcon, we will not sugarcoat, and we will not distort or pervert what happened on that day. day to fit an agenda, we're just going to tell you the truth. It's hard to believe it was 25 years ago to this day that those attacked happens. Happened, sorry. But it has been that long, but it still feels fresh. So we'll get to all that. And a whole lot more revolving around 9-11

today, the September 11th attacks 25 years ago. Before we do that, I want to get to a word from our friends at American financing. It's American financing.

Van Gino Report, PM every day at 3 o'clock Eastern time as well. 9-11, 25 years ago today. There's a gold mine of a piece written by one of my favorite writers in the space. David Strom, he writes for hotair.com. He's got a really cool style, and he wrote just a banger of a piece, yesterday, I sorry, two days ago on September 9th, regarding 9-11 and what a lot of people have tried to do to the narrative surrounding September 11th for a number of different agendas. David Strzheimer leads off the piece by saying 25 years after the terrorist attacks, I, David, remember 9-11 as if it were yesterday. Although I can't remember dates to save my life, I can name things I did just before or just after that

day because 9-11 is an anchor that is seared into my mind. And I can tell you, it's one of those things where everyone knows, you know, if you were old enough, you know where you were when John F. Kennedy was shot or when Martin Luther King was shot. I was in fifth grade. I was 10 years old in elementary school. It's the beginning of the school year, right? September 11. So very early on in the school year. And I can tell you, I mean, the rumors started to spread around the elementary school that a plane had hit the World Trade Center. I remember being in the lunchroom and hearing this rumor and kind of thinking like, this is ridiculous, but like who would make something like that up? One thought it was a small plane, et cetera. There were there were some children in that school

and in, you know, in the fifth grade with a different teacher who had it on in the classroom. but our teacher didn't do that. But all of a sudden, I remember a lot of people getting signed out of school. A lot of kids getting signed out of school, which was weird. But then I remember getting signed out of school, which was something that basically never happened. You know, it was like the rule basically was if I didn't have a fever, I wasn't getting pulled from school. So I get in the car after getting signed out And I could tell something's wrong

And I already heard the rumors about, you know, 9-11 But my mom picked me up from school that day And the look on her face It just wasn't what I was used to seeing Clearly something Clearly something devastating had happened And she told me that the Twin Towers were not there anymore I'm sitting there fifth grade

I'm going, what do you mean they're not there? This is huge. And you know, she explained to me, terrorist attacks, and this is what happened. And I'll tell you, I mean, not having, I could not imagine if we had actual, you know, family members and people who we were extremely close to who were in there that day. But boy, I'll tell you what, fifth grade, 10 years old, it'll screw with your head. You know, you're used to life a certain way. And you're a kid, right?

So there's an innocence about you. and then to know that such evil exists and would kill thousands of people in the blink of an eye because they wanted to because, you know, of a religious motivator, whatever. It is, it was a slap across the face. I mean, there was a news broadcast I was watching on YouTube. And, you know, the guy said, if you're a child and you're watching this and you don't have a parent next to you, I don't know what to say, and I don't know how you even begin to understand it. I mean, I didn't fully understand exactly.

I still don't fully understand it. But, you know, we have a greater understanding now, you know, a lot of more about the dynamics at play. You know, we're a lot more connected. You could do a little bit more research about these dynamics and such. But I remember that. I mean, I never got signed out of school. I'm talking never. Right?

And getting, I mean, we had a tropical, two years earlier, we had Tropical Storm Floyd on Long Island. I was like the last kid in the class. I get out my mom, it's just rain. It's okay. I was like a tropical storm. People are getting signed out left and right. You left me in the school. So I knew something was up that day. And the aftermath of that was obviously very significant. Strom continues on this piece as I'm sure that's true for everybody, right, that this is one of those things that is just seared into your mind. For those of us who were adults or teens at the time, there was a pre-9-11 America and a post-9-11 America. I somewhat remember that pre-9-11 America because our family used to travel a lot.

When I was younger, and things changed in the airport after that. As I mentioned before, you know, for folks who were at that point, you know, in that 9-11 range, too young to remember the Kennedy assassination, same thing. For us, it was 9-11. For us, it was 9-11. That was that watershed moment. and the problem that that I have now because I know the impact that it had on me and I know the impact that it had on so many so many people I want to explain something to you if you're not from New York the dynamic on Long Island at that time early 2000s and it had

been that way for a while there were a lot of people on Long Island who worked for the New York City you know FDMI fire department or NYPD and it's still like that today but it was very prevalent then. There were a lot of people, or maybe he didn't work as FD and YRMYPD. My dad used to work in the city. He used to get on a train and go to work every day in New York City. And a lot of folks who lived out there on Long Island

would either, you know, they would find somewhere to work on the island, but a lot of folks would go into the city and work there. But they would come out of the city and live in a more peaceful environment, which, you know, Long Island isn't very peaceful anymore. it's not bad in terms of crime, it's just a lot of people. It's crowded. But the island was very, very much tied, and still is in a way, but back then very much tied to New York City.

40 miles east of the city, I remember, you know, the following day in school, there were still fighter jets flying, right? Scramble in the, you know, they were in the airspace and things of that, that nature. I remember the first time that day that I saw a commercial. jetliner a plane. We've flown on a bunch of planes like that, flying into a building. Just how could people be so consumed with hatred to think that that's the way they should, that they should behave? And so in that moment, right after 9-11, I said as a kid, I'm never going to forget. We're never turning our back on this day and the lessons that we're learning from this day. But you know what was nice? The silver lining of September

11th, you know it was nice? The silver lining of September 11th was September 12th. What do I mean by that? The silver lining of September 11th was September 12th. It was a renewed sense of, oh, really? Yeah? You're going to come and give us this black guy. We are going to unleash hell on you on the people who did this. Everybody came together. There was an American flag on every porch, every doorstep. There were no people that came out after 9-11 that I can remember in any positions of prominence going, well, you know, the terrorists might have had a point. There was none of that. We came together as one nation, right, united. All of these, these colors don't run bumper stickers were showing up on people's cars. Patriotism was a thing. It was a way. It was a way.

to flip off the people who are responsible for that attack, regardless of race, regardless of religion, regardless of political party, regardless of creed, regardless of where you live, regardless of how much money you had. We were all Americans. We came together and we gave a giant middle finger to anybody who dared spit in the face of our country and kill our American brothers and sisters in the blink of an eye, turning our own innovation, our own equipment, airplanes, and weaponizing fear. No, we weren't going to stand for that. On September 12th, we as a nation said absolutely not. We're not going to stand for that. That was the silver lining. And we all said that we would never forget. And unfortunately, many of us have. Not us. Not us.

not those of you watching. I know those of you watching are listening. And I know you, you identify, you qualify with what I'm saying. But let's go to this next article in the New York Post because, boy, this is, this is some sick stuff. And I don't mean sick in a good, like, shit, like I mean sick like, not good, ill. Hijacking history. Woke teachers offer a twisted 9-11 lesson focused on Islamophobia, not the 2,970. innocent people killed. Look, I will be the first person to tell you, look. Don't look at somebody and immediately start judging them based off of what they're wearing or their skin color or the accent or anything like. Don't, don't. That's not what we're supposed to do. Okay? It's the wrong way to be. I'm not telling you Islamophobia is a good thing. However, I will say that I'm very, on the other side of this, I'm very weary. I'm very kind of,

on guard vigilant against those who chant death to America in our country, like what you've seen in Dearborn, Michigan. I'm very concerned is a good word about those who literally interpret and live by some of the commands and doctrines in the Quran that says slay the infidels wherever you find them. I'm concerned about it. I'm concerned about the spread of Islamo-Marxism right now in the country, i.e. it's communism, but it's that red-green alliance, right? It's communism, but it's joined at the hip with Islamism, Sharia law, Takea, all these different principles, right?

I'm concerned about that. I'm concerned about that. Does that make me Islamophobic? I wouldn't, I don't think so. but I'm definitely concerned about some of those things, all of those things. But I'm even more concerned right now that our education system is going to point back to 9-11 and make those terror attacks about Islamophobia and not about the fact that our nation, our nation's benevolence, our nation's own technology,

was turned against itself in an act of brutal, terror. That should be the focus of 9-11 lessons. Not Islamophobia. Okay, let me be very, very clear. The victims of September 11th were the 2,97 who perished on that day. Were the thousands who have come down with either ailments, mental health problems, have passed away, have killed themselves, etc. In the wake, the 25-year wake of September 11th, those are the victims. Nobody else. The families, of course, attacks for those people as well. Nobody else. Nobody else. I knew people whose fathers went into that city after the attacks and for weeks to months pulled out severed body parts from the rubble.

There are no other victims of the September 11th attack, but our countrymen, our brothers and sisters, our aunts and uncles, don't you spin this up and give me some other narrative. That is not going to fly. According to this article in New York Post, only two U.S. states legally require that 9-11 be taught in public school.

Isn't that crazy? And the void is being filled with twisted lefty lessons blaming America, downplaying Islamic terrorism, and portraying Islamophobia as the real tragedy of September 11. Tell about to the families who never got their dad's back, their husbands back, their brothers back, their sons back. And yes, there were females who died too, the moms, the aunts, the uncles, the nieces, the daughters. Tell it to those families that the real tragedy was that someone's feelings got hurt. It's America's darkest day, September 11th. And we are allowing this in our schools.

We are allowing education about this event to be distorted and perverted to fit a disgusting narrative in order to downplay the act of terror that changed our nation's course, direction, way of life forever. And you have teachers in there that are teaching. You tell me right now that education is not about indoctrinating students. students. Why the hell would they be saying that Islamophobia is the real tragedy? And that's the real victim of September 11th. No, absolutely not. Even in New York State, they have a requirement to observe a moment of silence on September 11th. New York State, you know where the World Trade Center was? The State Board of Regents includes teaching about the attacks in social studies standards, but the state has no standard curriculum covering the attack. So in other words, teach it however you want.

There's a module called Teaching Beyond September 11th. There's only one paragraph in that module devoted to the attacks themselves. Here's a guy I'm not a fan of, but he's right here. He used to be my congressman, Andrew Garberino. He says, we made a promise to never forget, but today only a handful of states require 9-11 to be taught in their schools. I'm not into Andrew. I don't like Andrew Garberino. I don't trust Andrew Garber.

He's right about that. Okay? He's right about that. The post article goes on to say in the... absence of mandatory standards, leftist activists, some backed by billionaire George Soros, are producing lesson plans filled with woke distortions of the attacks, even in New York City schools, according to an analysis from the North American Values Institute and Education Watchdog. People say, how could New York City vote for a guy like Zoran Mamdani? That's where 9-11 happened.

That's how, because they pump this type of propaganda into the heads of the students. When they graduate, they only know one way of life, and that's the life of a leftist. that in that city, you can have a mayor the position that the great Rudy Giuliani held the daily attacks 25 years ago, where Rudy went towards the disaster, not away from it. You got a mayor in that city now who campaigns with and has a relationship with

and speaks favorably of and is aligned with, let's say, Hassan Piker, who said that America deserved 9. 11, Mayor in New York City. Totally cool with those comments. Never forget, it only took 25 years. That's why today is so important. That's why this show is so important.

Let's go to the next article in New York Post. This is out of Texas. Texas has a, their Board of Education has just put together, I guess, curriculum or a resolution or they've approved of a quote-unquote controversial new high school curriculum tying radical Islam to the 9-11 attacks. How is this controversial? Who's responsible for flying the planes into the buildings, huh?

Was it a Christian group? Was it a Jewish group? Was it a Buddhist? Was it a Jedi Knight? Was it a religion I never heard of before? Who flew the planes into the buildings? Why are we considering this controversial? It was a radical Islamic terror attack.

That's not to tell you that every Muslim is a radical Islamic terrorist. I'm not saying that. But call a freaking spade a spade, okay? Call a spade a spade. There's nothing wrong with saying that it was a radical Islamic terror attack. Nothing. Zero. Because that's what it was. It's never, folks, here's a quick tip.

It is never the wrong thing, ever to tell the truth. Ever. It's never the wrong move. What should I do? Should I lie? Should I tell the truth? You should write tell the truth. The Texas Board of Education gave that final approval to changes to the state's high school social studies curriculum, a controversial move that will impact how students are taught about Islam and Christianity. The amended social studies curriculum, which covers U.S. history, government, and world geography,

comes after dozens of people gave public testimony with most expressing their opposition to the finalized version. The board approved language asserting that radical Islam motivated that, September 11, 2001 attacks, rather than taking a more narrow focus on the terror groups involved in the attacks. Radical Islam did motivate the terrorist attacks. I don't care how inconvenient that might be to some people. It's the truth. It's the truth. And it is never a mistake to tell the truth.

25 years later, and we're trying to sugarcoat in favor of the perpetrators, in favor of the perpetrators, in favor of the terrorists, in favor of the murderers over my dead body. I don't know if you could tell, but this topic means a lot to me. And we're just getting started. I am not telling you that I want anybody who's watching this to take up arms and act violently against a Muslim. I am not saying that at all. So don't mistake my frustration and anger here for like,

we have to do. No, here's what we got to do. We never forget who did it. We never forget why they did it. We never forget the victims and the families who were torn apart by this attack, but we're not going to sit there and become terrorists ourselves either, okay? Just to show you. And again, this is not to be a slight or a broad brush to say everybody who belongs to this group is a terrorist and was happy about 9-11. But here we go. Let's go to our first video today to show you what was going on in the Middle East that day. This is in Gaza, okay, Palestinians out there in the Middle East, in Gaza and Israel, after learning about what happened on September 11th and the thousands of Americans who were

killed and the Twin Towers came down and the Pentagon was hit with an airplane and United 93, thank God for those brave passengers, because who knows where that thing was headed? It may have been going to the Capitol. You could have lost hundreds of people in government. It could have been going to the White House. knows for sure. But here are these, here are Palestinians now out there in the Middle East. Again, I'm not saying that all Palestinians are bad. I know some very nice Palestinians, all right? I'm just, this is what it is. It's the truth. There's nothing wrong with telling the truth.

Here they were celebrating September 11th, but they were doing it in the Middle East. Now you got people in our country who think we deserve it and we'll be celebrating today. And that's disgusting. But this is what was going on out there in the Middle East in Palestine on 9-11. Roll it. We're going to show you from the West Bank. These are Palestinian celebrations in the wake of Tuesday's terror attacks in the United States. Apparently, Palestinians took to the street, chanting God is great. People were throwing candy, distributing candy to passers by.

The U.S. government, obviously, has become increasing, increasing. unpopular particularly in the West Bank and Gaza Strip because Palestinians feel that the U.S. government has sided with Israel. One man, a Nawal Abdel Fata, wearing a long black dress through sweets in the air saying, actually that's a woman, pardon me, saying she was happy because quote America is the head of the snake. America always stands by Israel and its war against us. There you go. Okay. You want to know who is happy on September 11th? because there's a lot of false narratives about that too, right there. Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank celebrating, celebrating 2,97 deaths and

celebrating the rest of the deaths that would come in that day, celebrating the attacks on our country, on our innocence, on our mothers and daughters and sons and dads and uncles and aunts and all of it. Celebrating. How do you forget now? How do you forget? How do you forget? how do you watch that?

How do you watch a group of people celebrating what happened to our country on that day? How do you watch that? And then forget about it. Well, maybe they had a point. You know, the government was incredibly unpopular. You know what? I don't like Canada's government.

I don't think we should be flying planes into their buildings. I'm just saying there's no rationalizing that. Well, if you put yourself in their shoes, No, I'm sorry. I will never, just like I've said this about the Lindsay Clancy thing, well, you have to consider. No, no, here's what I'm going to consider. She killed three children. She's a murderer, in my opinion.

If I was on that jury, I would have done exactly what that male juror did that holdout and said, nope, I'm not, I can't get past the fact that she viciously murdered the kids. I don't want to see 3,000 people die in the day. Anywhere, put yourself in their shoes. No, I will not, I will not celebrate a bunch of innocent people. who just went to work that day getting slaughtered by Islamo fanatics. No, I'm not going to celebrate that. I'm not going to look at it and go, well, maybe they had a point.

Well, if it takes the death of 3,000 people to make your point, then your point sucks because you can't make it otherwise. Okay? It's disgusting. It really is. We're going to take a quick break here, and then I'm going to tell you a couple stories about some September 11 stuff. I got a couple of hats here. You know, I love my hats. One of them is just a little personal story that I, you know, I was a kid when we got this one.

Another one is a very moving story about a place I used to work and an interesting thing. So I am very excited to share that with you. Before we do that, I want to take a very quick break and talk to you about our friends over at Z biotics. Z biotics. I got to tell you something.

So I have with me today, I was 10 years old when September 11th happened. This here is my, I bought it, got it in New York City shortly after the attacks. I realized because the Twin Towers were on it, but my FDNY, you could see it. The hat, I still had this thing with me. I will never, I will never, this is never going anywhere. This hat means a lot. But I really want to tell you about this one.

For those of you have seen the movie World Trade Center, you know that, operation to grab those four men that were trapped inside of the inside of the building. Okay, so this is a Brooklyn Wall of Remembrance, NYPD hat, and I'm going to tell you how I came into possession of that. So I was working in a retail store, and I spoke to a gentleman there. I think it was right around September 11th,

and I brought up that, you know, I'd just seen the movie World Trade Center, and it was a really moving movie, and, you know, 9-11 means a lot to me, et cetera. And he had told me he worked, He was with NYPD and he was involved in the operation to get those men out from in the rubble, right? The men who the movie World Trade Center is about. And I was fascinated by this guy.

So I continued to talk to him for about an hour. I should have been doing other stuff. I was at work. I'm not there to talk to a guy about September 11th. But he was there. There were no other people who needed help. And so I spoke to this guy for a long time because I was fascinated by his experiences. and he was a part of the operation to remove those men from the rubble,

very similar to the scenes you see in World Trade Center. He was down the line. He had the folks come by him on a stretcher. He was telling me all of these stories. And you could tell, I mean, that this was very, it was a very heavy moment for him. It was a very heavy memory to talk about. But you could tell he was kind of happy to talk about it.

And I genuinely appreciated the work and everything that he did for the city in the wake of those attacks, right? So I wanted to keep him company for as long as I could, not because it was, you know, oh, I'm not going to do my work, but because I was absolutely fascinated. I was connecting with this guy on a human level. Very nice guy. And when, again, if you were in New York,

you maybe didn't feel this way about September 11th. But in New York, it's a very sore subject that weighed on a lot of people's hearts. It was very, it's very difficult. It's one of those things in New York where, you know, you say September 11th and the entire mood in the room changes. Because everybody, was connected to that event in some way, shape, or form.

And so I knew how this guy felt, right? I'd known other cops and firefighters who were involved in the operations that day. And so, you know, we finally wrap up the conversation and, you know, he was very appreciative that I took the time. I was extremely appreciative that he shared everything that he shared with me. So it was either the following day or a day or two after that. I was up in the break room and I'm getting, I'm on break.

And I'm being told, hey, you know, someone is really looking for you down. down in electronics, that's where I was that day. And I said, okay, that's fine. You know, I only had a couple minutes of break left. Anyway, I'll go down there. Maybe it's a family member. Maybe something bad has happened anyway. I get down there.

And I see the gentleman that I was speaking to about September 11th, the one I was just telling you about it was a part of the operation to get the folks out of the men who were trapped, you know, in the rubble, out and back to safety. And he's with a little boy. and the little boy is his son, right? And I'm like, okay, this is cool. And so his son pulls out this hat, okay?

And he just looks at me and he says, thank you for being so nice to my daddy. And he gave me this hat. I mean, come on, guys. I said to the gentleman, I said, thank you so much. This is amazing. And he told me that the hat, at that time, Maybe you can get that hat from other people and other sources now.

But that hat at the time was only given to cops who were involved either in that operation or had visited the Brooklyn Wall of Remembrance. And he gave one to me. I'm not a cop. But it was just that conversation, that time that we had spent. And he had his son presented to him. It was just one of the nicest moments. And again, this is one of those things.

things where that's a silver lining of September 11th because it brought people together. You know, and some folks may say, why is it so worn? It's because I actually had this thing in my car. Ever since he gave it to me, I would leave it on the dashboard. And it got bleached by the sun, but it's been through stuff, but you can still see it, right? NYPD, 9-11, all that hasn't faded. It's one of the most moving moments involving September 11th I think I've ever been a part of. And, you know, it was just because of a random conversation at work that led to that. There are people who are who live in anguish and have been living in anguish for 25 years because of this event, because of September 11th, because of these attacks.

And you wouldn't know it by looking at him until you get to that point where that gentleman got where he thought it was appropriate to bring his little boy into the store and, and gift me that hat. and the kid said thank you for being so nice to my dad as if like that was some sort of thing that didn't happen often or maybe it does happen often i don't know but those are the types of things i look at and i say and there are people who will quickly discount the service that that man did in favor of some other ridiculous narrative and we're only 25 years removed from it well i'll tell you what, there was a scandal this week with Zoran Mamdani and the mayor of New York City. And Zoran Mamdani gave this pen to the police commissioner Tish, and she passed it along to this

guy who was in some way associated with al-Qaeda. He's one of the momdani's lawyers, the mayor office's lawyers anyway. Vicki Palladino was very upset about that. And let's go to this article here on Red State, which is talking about this very incident. This is police commissioner Tish strikes back at Mom Dani, or at least looks to to take in a kind of a veiled swing at Zoron, Momdani. During the, during this 9-11 event recently, there's a video there. Look, as the article says here, this is on Red State,

whenever I see NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch at an event alongside New York City Mayor Mamdani, I always get the distinct impression that she's grinning and bearing it as though she'd rather be anywhere else than near the man who was willfully and deliberately made such a mockery. of the suffering that the city went through during and after the 9-11 terrorist attacks. Well, here it is. Let's play this cut. This is police commissioner Tisch in there with essentially in front of cameras taking a little bit of a shot at Zoran Mamdani, reminding everybody what happened on September 11th and why. Let's play it. The scale of the loss and the devastation that day was unfathomable and so too was the heroism that we witnessed in response.

Preserving that history also means preserving its moral clarity. The men who attacked this city were terrorists. The men and women who ran into the towers to save innocent lives were heroes. Twenty-five years cannot be allowed to blur that distinction and shame on those who do. The courage we remember from September 11th was not confined to a single morning. It was there in the members who moved toward the World Trade Center while thousands of people were desperately trying to escape. It remained in those who returned to Ground Zero afterward, even while they were grieving friends and colleagues of their own. They kept working while families waited for answers, and a devastated city depended on them.

That service came at a terrible cost, and today these names ask something of us in return. They ask us to remember these men and women as more than names. or numbers from one of the darkest chapters in our city's history, to preserve who they were and the extraordinary standard of service they left to those who followed them. Notice that she said the ones who attacked the city were terrorists. The ones who ran into those buildings to save people were heroes. And shame on anybody who tries to blur that distinction. Take those words to heart and apply that.

and I hate to do the political thing on September 11th because this used to be, this used to be a terrorist attack that transcended all political ideologies. We all united. We're proud to be Americans. These colors don't run. You know, Toby Keith will put a boot in your ass. It's the American way, the all nine yards, right?

So, like, you have, you have all of that. And now 25 years later, that's starting to, that's like eroded away. NYPD commissioner Tish, And she's talking about Mamdani. That's what it sounds like. Because you've heard him and his ilk. Democratic socialists, hard leftists, take another look at 9-11.

Hassan Piker, America, deserve 9-11. Oh, you know, it's a resistance movement. You know, even that fake news reporter, you know, The United States government has become increasingly unpopular in the West Bank. And, okay, fine. I mean, that's the truth. It has become unpopular. But we've taken that.

And we have magnified that and amplified that a thousandfold. To the point where there are people in this country who believe that the terrorists had a point and a right to do what they did to us that day. That the real heroes were the ones. were the ones who flew the planes into the building, that the real victims weren't the ones who died, but the ones who had their feelings get hurt or this nonsense about Islamophobia after the attacks. Don't get me wrong, Islamophobia is wrong.

You should not be, again, intolerant of a person simply because of, you know, what ideology they practice. Listen, some of it's not compatible with Western civilization. I'm not arguing that. But the real victims of 9-11 were the ones who died on that day and thereafter because of what happened on that day. The real heroes are the ones who tried to save as many people as possible on that day.

And the real terrorists were the ones who committed the acts of terror on that day. The ones who hijacked airplanes, flew them into buildings, brought those buildings down and killed innocent people. there is no other side considerably other side. There is no other side. There's terrorism and there's not terrorism. We got people

spinning up this narrative. Well, you look back at 9-11 and we have questions. Nope. As I said, over my dead body, I'm not going to let that happen. Yeah, and you know what, I don't ever

like to watch this type of content, okay? But I feel like 25 years after the fact, and the fact that as Police Commissioner Tish alluded to, there are people who are trying to blur the distinction between hero and terrorist, and they're willing to do that only 25 years after the attacks happened. I feel like we do need to see and hear and remember the terror that gripped this country

that day. I want you to watch this video when we play this. This is New York City Fireman. Standing in the lobby, it looks like the lobby of one of the buildings down at the World Trade Center. And you're going to hear these very loud thuds and bangs and broken glass.

And I want you to understand that every time you hear that noise, that is a body of somebody who jumped out of that burning building because it was all they had left before they were engulfed in flames. I want you to understand why those people decided to jump.

They didn't do it by choice. They didn't go to work that day thinking that's what they were going to do. They did it because a bunch of terrorists flew airplanes into that building and brought hell to their doorstep. And I don't like this content. It's been in my algorithm for the last week.

because we're getting closer. And I don't like how fresh it makes it feel. And I don't like how much it stings. And I don't like how much it hurts. But sometimes you need that to remember what pain actually feels like and why that day was so devastating. And why what happened that day was so tragic? And we can remember.

We can remember the despair of that day and look back on that and say we will never forget. and say it will never happen again. All right, I want to play this video here. These are firefighters that, I mean, you could look on their faces. Again, they hear the sound of these crashing sounds, and those are bodies. Look at this. You see these firefighters. Now, listen close.

You hear that? That was somebody jumping. You can see their faces. Now this stretcher, this is not a body. So don't get squeamish. equipment but it looked kind of these guys when we heard they can't believe what there's a crash you sound it was something that we never heard before all right yep that's the scene morning of September 11th now they're obviously

fleeing the collapse of one of the towers there you're really gonna let people forget that you're really gonna let people blur the distinction as Commissioner Tish said between between here and terrorist. I don't like playing content like that. I don't want to have to, but we have to. Sometimes we've got to revive the way it felt.

I don't like feeling like that. I'd rather be on here giggling with you, doing voice impersonations and having a blast. And I hope, even though this is a somber day, that you're getting something out of this. the first time I saw that video I couldn't play it for a few days I'm not joking because of

the noise I know what the noise is these guys telling you about these are people who are jumping to their death because they had nowhere else to go and those firemen who were standing there hearing that wanted to help but couldn't and you could tell how much it hurt them

and you could tell how much it hurts everyone still who hasn't lost the memory who hasn't lost that grasp on the truth of what happened on September 11th. We're going to go to the next video here, and I want you to pay attention. This is a news report as one of the towers is coming down. This is a news report. I believe this is as the South Tower. So the second tower that was hit with the first tower that came down.

As the South Tower was collapsing, I believe that's what this was. Watch on the right-hand portion of your screen there is a fireman who is running away from or moving away from that plume of smoke that's coming in, watch this. Again, this isn't easy to watch. This is a devastating moment. But the raw emotion that you can feel from this fireman in this video, I mean, when I saw that, it sent chills up my spine.

And I'm not exaggerating. I don't exaggerate about a topic like this. Let's roll this video. Just a moment ago, the entire top of the building collapsed. You can see a massive plume of smoke. people are running away from the area. There are firefighters and their police trying to evacuate the area as quickly as possible. People who are near the area are in an absolute frenzy situation.

The entire top of the building just collapsed. You can see the plume of smoke is coming in our direction. Let's get out of here, Ralph. We're going to leave because the smoke is coming right at us. If you didn't see the fireman in that video, he's on the right-hand side, and he throws his equipment. You can tell he's very angry. Let's play that again.

Let's watch, just watch this fireman here. You can see it. Here we go. The smoke is coming. One of the towers had collapsed. I'm not sure if it was tower one or two. But you see him throwing it. Look at that.

Why is he so mad? I'm not saying that he's acting incorrectly. I'm asking this, I'm asking you this question so you can feel it. Look at how frustrated he is. Why? What's he feeling? Why is he so angry? You know, I hear about put yourself.

in there. Put yourself in that man's shoes. And think about what that man's feeling right there. Friends of his probably were in that building when it came down. Hundreds of people who he was in there trying to save were in that building when it came down. That is raw

emotion. That's how a lot of us felt on September 11th. Even not being involved in the operation that he was involved in. Angry that somebody would do that to us. angry that that's the way a group decided they wanted to make their quote-unquote point angry that 2,97 people all they did was show up to work that day or get on an airplane to go on a vacation that day or take a trip that day

angry that those people died in a brutal senseless massacre waged on our nation I'd never seen that video before I was on again I was on YouTube you know scrolling I know that's Haley's job but I was on YouTube scrolling and that popped up and I like to read the comments and see which way the comments are going and generally on this subject

the comments are still pretty kind but it's starting to kind of fade a little bit that because as the new generation they want to well let's take another look at it the comments kept pointing out to this

firefighter And I could not stop watching him. And I'm happy, Guy, that you just rolled it over and over and over and over and over again because the anger can't fade. The emotion can't fade. And yeah, you know, you may have healed. And time certainly heals all wounds, but it's still a pain point. It still hurts.

It still makes me angry. I know it still makes you angry. I know we all still feel that the way that that firefighter felt. in that video and there are people who are trying to trying to act like that man who was clearly frustrated and upset and distraught because he could not help those who he just watched perish

in that building collapsing. He was so frustrated that he couldn't get in there to save anymore. I mean, this is one of the most powerful pieces of footage that I have ever seen regarding September 11th. Never, ever, ever. forget. Now, I'm going to move to something a little more lighthearted because this whole show, the whole first hour or so, has been very somber, but it has to be. It's September 11th. It's not, this is not a happy day, happy birthday, wonderful occasion. However, as I mentioned, there were

some silver linings of this attack. It doesn't mean I'm happy that these attacks happened, but I'm proud of the response of many, of a whole nation, this nation. I'm proud of the way we responded to these attacks. Because if something like this happened today, that wouldn't be the case. And that's the problem. You would have some, you would have people pointed fingers at Trump. You would have people pointed fingers of each political party. You would have, it would be, it would not be a united, we stand thing.

I mean, look at what happened a year ago yesterday. Something that I think, you know, everyone should just condemn the assassination of Charlie Kirk. well, you know, he kind of said a few hateful things on the college. Whoa, stop. Unacceptable. After President Trump was shot at Butler, you would think, all right, that's it. Everybody's going to come in. Let's all make a good faith effort, a concerted effort to tone down the rhetoric.

We don't need to live in an assassination culture. Nope, we had people saying it's too bad the shooter missed. And then surely after Ryan Wesley Ruth in the Gulf, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. People now saying that it was staged. But I'm proud of the way this nation responded in the wake of 9-11 in the face of this. And a lot of that, you know, people needed an outlet after an attack like that. You know, you had benefit concerts and vigils and all sorts of, you know, these gatherings. But one of the things, and this is why I still watch sports, okay?

because it does provide that outlet. It does. And I understand people are going to say bread and circuses, but you don't understand the NFL's woke and all this. I don't love the politics of these major sports leagues. I don't, okay? Like, it's not my favorite thing. But I'm a sports guy.

I've always been a sports guy. And after September 11th, sports played a huge role, A, in bringing people together, bringing people out, you know, these large gatherings, people were somewhat afraid about the large, gatherings because of a terror attack. And it gave people an outlet. It gave people a place where you can channel all of that grief and all of that negativity and just, and you could just go to a baseball game and just and just forget for a minute. You know, Dan was talking about how he went fishing for the

first time and forever. I heard him on the other, on a show the other day. And, you know, how for a little bit of time, you just, you're just focused on fishing. You're focused on what you're doing. You're cast in your line, you're catching fish, or maybe you're not catching fish. The cliche is a bad day of fishing beats a good day of anything else, right? And that's generally true. So I'm a Jets fan, right? Like, it's not an enjoyable experience to watch the Jets play, but I like sports. And for those of you who are from New York or maybe you're big baseball fans, you know where I'm going with this. But the New York Mets, back when they played in Shea Stadium, right in Flushing Queens, so one of the boroughs of New York City, hit very hard by 9-11, fire department, families, et cetera.

NYPD families, et cetera. The New York Mets in their first game back when baseball resumed after September 11th, they were playing the Atlanta Braves. And they were down three to two at the time of this. And Mike Piazza, the Hall of Fame catcher for the New York Mets, hit a home run.

And this is known, this is known as one of the most iconic healing, quote-unquote moments after September 11th. He had a home run that gave the New York Eric Mets the lead. You know, the city had just taken a huge blow. The Mets were losing to the Braves and Shea Stadium and the Braves are like one of their arch nemesies at the time.

It was 2001. It's a year after they just went to the World Series, lost to the New York Yankees. And, you know, now they're losing. And it's like, eh, it's your first game back. Come on. We need something. And Mike Piazza hits an absolute moon shot after, after, you know, they're down for the majority of this game.

And it just, the feeling that went through that. stadium. I wasn't there, but I know people who were, and you can kind of hear it in the crowd. He hits this home run, and it's just this feeling of hope and joy. And for a moment, those New Yorkers who were devastated for a long time after that September 11th game, right, they've been devastated ever since the day of that attacks. They were happy again. Just play this. This was a really healing moment. Mike Piazza's home run. Lopez wants it away. And it's hit deep to left center. Andrew Jones on the run. This one has a chance. home run

Mike Piazza and the next lead three to two look at this and here's the swing in detail and he just crushed it dead center field

and the curtain call and then he gets the curtain call that home run meant I mean that home run meant the world to that city at that time you can hear it in the crowd and listen

Mets fans are crazy producer Jim can tell you Mets fans are crazy people even if the team is down and out they're out there rooting for the team right they're just they're great fans

but that was about more than just the baseball game. That was about more than just taking the lead in the baseball game in the divisional baseball game. That was about a lot more. Mike Piazza's jersey from that game is in the baseball Hall of Fame, not because he had a home run and gave the Mets a lead, but because of when he did it. It was very significant.

Sports, guys, it's not the most important thing in the world. I get it. If your favorite sports team wins or loses, your taxes don't go up or down. You don't get Marxist ideology getting pumped into your schools. It's not going to determine who's going to war with who in the Middle East. I understand. It's not significant in the grand scheme of things, but it does have a role.

And it played a role after September 11th. People came out and rallied around their sports teams and rallied around New York, rallied around the Mets and rallied around the Yankees. And I bet you you can go back to this day to the pitcher who was on the mound. I believe that was the manager, Bobby Cox, to the Atlanta Braves. And they'll tell you, yeah, you know what? I don't like giving up home runs to the Mets. But that one will let slide because of when it happened.

not that they did it on purpose. That was a magical moment in sports history and the New York Mets history. And in United States history, it was one of the first games in the Metro Planes in September 11th and Piazza hits this just, I mean, moonshot. Dead center field, 410 foot walls at Shay Stadium.

That place was not the most hitter-friendly park and he hit the deepest part of the ballpark, Shea Stadium. 410 feet to dead center, I believe. That's not small. potatoes, guys. Now, the voice of that call, there's Piazza. I mean, look where this thing goes, man. Look what this thing landed, right? The voice, and look at the crowd. I mean, they're, they're on their feet. They're so happy. They're elated. Right? The voice of that calls, man, by the name of Howie Rose.

He was the Mets radio voice for a while. And Gary Cohen did radio for them. Gary Cohen does TV for them for SMY. But the voice of that call was Howie Rose. Now, why do I bring that up? Because in 2011, I think, is when Osama bin Laden was killed, Howie Rose once again finds himself on the call, calling a New York Mets game while they're playing this time in L.E's division rival, the Philadelphia Phillies. They're in Philadelphia.

And all of a sudden, the stadium starts chanting USA. Right? USA. They're chanting USA. and it's how he rose again with a call where all of a sudden sports and being out of the sports games you just doesn't matter who you're rooting for at that time

you're coming together as Americans play this now the pitch and it's line foul into the seats down the third base line one ball one strike and I'll tell you what's going on the crowd is chanting USA and the reason for that is that there are reports circulating. I am not sure if they've yet been confirmed by the White House that Osama bin Laden is dead. How that's happened, we don't know. But this crowd now knows it. It's amazing how

things seem so important for the moment like they did when Ryan Howard batted with the bases loaded. And then if it's true that Osama bin Laden has been captured, killed, or whatever, it just takes you back to that awful, awful day. And you wonder why it gets so upset or worked up over a baseball game in the first place. And that, my friends, is why I appreciate sports. And boy, did Howie Rose handle that like a show me. Harry Rose is a pro's pro. He was also the one who called the New York Rangers winning the Stanley Cup,

which is something that I hate to acknowledge happen because I'm an Islander's fan, but he was the one with Motto, Mattow, the whole thing. Did you get goosebumps from that? Because I did. Nobody cared about, and that was a close game, Mets, Phillies. It was a close game, 1-1, late stages of the game. and everyone's on their phone because they're getting news

that Osama bin Laden was killed. It took a long time to get him. But the whole stadium starts chanting in USA. Because at that time we hadn't really started to allow what happened on

September 11th to be distorted and perverted and spun up to fit a new narrative. It's still stung for a lot of people. I just didn't think that 15 years after that, we'd be having a different conversation about how quickly people have forgotten

what it felt like on that day when we were attacked. I couldn't believe it. I can't believe what I'm seeing in some of these cases. All right, let's move on. Osama bin Laden dead, and you heard how he rose,

the great how he rose, saying, I'm going to tell you what's going on. There's some reports going on. He didn't use the truth. Dan Bonino rule. He did say report. And the whole crowd is chanting USA. It was pretty awesome.

A pretty awesome moment. I remember when that happened. That was like, wow, this is so special. The whole stadium. Who cares? Mets, Phillies. It's tied late stages of the game. We just smoked Osama bin Laden. F yeah, proud to be American, USA. Makes you wonder if we're going to get back to that. I think we can.

But it's going to take all of us leaning into that patriotism, leaning into that to what never forget actually means. All right. I want to move on to a wild story. Here we go. He's a son of a 9-11 victim in this is off the post-millennial. Son of a 9-11 victim at a rally in New York City. As a matter of fact, I know some of the folks who are involved in organizing this thing. And it seems to have been a pretty big success. And this clip from their rally has gone viral. But a son of a 9-11 victim is blasting socialist for believing mean that Americans, quote, unquote, deserved to get murdered in terror attacks because it was part of an evil capitalist system. So this is somebody taking a stand against the nonsense, the new narrative, the spin, the garbage that's being taught.

Well, put yourself on their shoe. Let's look at it on the other side of things. This is how I feel about 9-11. And this guy, this son of this 9-11 victim who slammed Mom Dani and socialist. policymakers and socialists running for office and candidates, Vaughn Coleman told this crowd of the silver lining of the 25th anniversary is that people came together. And I promise you, what I say at the beginning, that's why I'm telling you. And that's why I'm bookending it with this. People came together. But I want to play these comments from Vaughn Coleman about the, the socialists who are trying to divide people and celebrate 9-11. Let's play it.

He really went to bed on September 10th he kicked his Celtic cross and he kissed it. He went for me, runs for my sister, once for my mother, and once again for the whole family. And then he wore it to work that day. Now, like everyone else, he went to work not thinking that there were people that wanted to kill him simply for being an American. He was blind to that night. But what's our excuse 25 years later? 25 years later, we know better. we know better. We searched for weeks hoping to find something but there was nothing

left to bury. Not even as cross but there's a silver lining that until recently I never understood that people would tell me about. That people came together that it didn't matter if you were Republican or a Democrat. But we were united on something. We were united as Americans and people who worked at the World Trade Center were capitalists. These people don't support these things. We're not just talking about standard partisan agreements. This is different. So you hear him and his father died on September 11th, 2001.

Okay? It's a lot more real when you have one of these family members in front of you, isn't it? I can say 2,97 till I'm blue in the face. I could talk about the 343 till I'm blue in the face. That's the NYPDF, DMY, those, the heroes. I can talk about all those things. that I'm blue in the face, but now you heard the son of one of those victims. Makes it feel a lot more real, doesn't it? Carries a little more water, doesn't it?

Packs a little bit more of a punch, doesn't it? This is why we can never forget. This is why. Von Coleman is why. His family is why. We can never forget. Now, like I said, I hate to get political about September 11th, but unfortunately, the left has turned it into a political thing. His left, the left, sorry, has turned it into a political thing. He said in that speech, by the way, Vaughn Coleman, I was going to read for you a little bit more. He says, newsflash, you wouldn't have agreed with all 3,000 people that were killed.

It didn't matter. They were Americans. That's what mattered. He said he doesn't want to live in a country where his children are told by their teachers and college professors, which is where a lot of this is happening, that their grandfather deserved to get murdered because he was part of the evil capitalist system. You heard that.

Folks, this isn't a joke. Von Coleman also noted that Charlie Kirk, when he was murdered on September 10th, 2025, his mother turned to him and said, this is just like your father in terms of terror. The difference is 25 years ago, people didn't cheer when that kind of thing happened. It's true. We've fallen real far. A lot of that starts in the schools. And who's responsible for the left-wing ideology that's getting pumped into the heads of your,

your sons, your daughters, your nieces, your nephews, your children, whomever in school? That would be the radical left who wants to produce good little foot soldiers who wave the banner of big government and socialism. So that's what they teach in the schools. Socialism is great. America is terrible. Where our country is a colonialist. It's built on stolen land. The terrorists at a point. And it's, it is morphed into this terrible three-word phrase, four-word phrase, America deserve 9-11. Death to America. Those are the people

that the Democrats and the radical left are cozying up to. Those are the people that they're allowing in their big tent. You don't have to tell me, oh, it's a strength, not a weakness. It's worse than a weakness. That is a cancer. That is a travesty.

That is a disgrace that you allow that idea in your quote unquote tent, that you allow death to America in your tent, you allow the mere consideration of the thought that 2,97 people deserve to die on September 11th in your tent. But then again, look at some of the leaders in your tent. This is a video from the NRCC.

I believe that's the National Republican Congressional Committee about the Democrats not condemning anyone who says these horrible things about September 11th. America deserved it. Always, you know, reducing it down to some people did something. That's what we're running against. You want those people running our country in control of one or both houses of Congress? I don't. You better vote like hell this November.

Let's roll this cut here from the NRC. 25 years. That's how long it took for Democrats to go from never forget to this. America deserved 9-11, dude. Some people did something. Was 9-11 an inevitable consequence for America? Inevitable. That dark day was almost 3,000 fathers, mothers, heroes, Americans, murdered by radical terrorists.

But today's Democrats align with socialist radicals who say we deserved it. America deserved 9-11, dude. Will Lawrence, running for Congress? And you're the man, so thank you for being here. I still love the guy. People's. Right, with 9-11, the idea that we have to apologize for like a terror attack that like a couple people did. Democrats won't condemn burning our flag or chanting death to America.

They're burning American flags and chanting death to America. I'm not privy to, to, I haven't seen these reports. Burning the American flag and chanting death to America? At a rally in your district, people were chanting death to America. Do you condemn... Do you condemn chance of death to America? When political candidates and public officials refuse to condemn global terror and phrases such as globalized the interfaata, they are inviting another 9-11, God forbid.

Or even firebombing Americans. Keros is under fire for refusing to say that this firebombing attack on a group of Jews last year was an act of anti-Semitism. of anti-Semitism. Now, radicals are influential. I don't know what else there is to say, oh, the number one, that's a very powerful ad and that should be everywhere, number one. Because that really highlights

what you're running against. But man, hearing those comments again from folks like Milakiros, Ilhan Omar, Hassan Piker, and so on and so forth. And watching as people like Ayanna Presley and AOC played dumb. Oh, what? They're chanting death.

I don't know about that. They're chaining death to America. I don't know about that. Just say, hey, if this is true and someone is saying death to America, that's wrong. That's all you had to do. That's all you had to do. Why didn't they do it? Because they didn't want to.

That's why. At the very least, they didn't want to. At the very worst, because they agree with it. All Abdul Al-Sayed had to do when he was on with Kristen Wilker and said, hey, you know, Hassan Piker says America deserved 9-11. what do you feel about that? All he had to do is say, I don't agree with that. No, we didn't deserve 9-11.

How easy is that to say? How easy is that to come out and say? No, 3,000 people didn't deserve to die in the blink of an eye one day. America didn't deserve 9-11. I don't agree with those remarks. How easy would that have been, but he didn't? How easy would it have been for AOC to say, nope, I don't agree with burning the American flag or chanting death to America.

I don't know if anybody who supports me. is doing that, but if they are, I don't agree with it. How easy would that have been to say? She didn't do it because she doesn't want to do it or because she doesn't believe that. Those are the people who are running against. And they're spitting in your face. And ordinarily, we get these attacks and we'll talk about it for a day or so and that pain fades. But folks, when it comes to 9-11, it's a lot different. Okay? It's a lot different for me and it should be a lot different for you. I was in fifth grade. I was 10 years old in New York on Long Island. I was a kid. I still had this innocence about me. I was a little stubborn and a little crazy,

but now generally a good kid, right? I didn't get any trouble, whatever. And like the biggest slap in the face, this world ain't innocent. There's some really bad people in it. You know, they tell you, oh, don't talk to strangers. This could have, don't take candy from this guy, you know, you don't do it. And then that takes a pretty big step up when you're talking about a terrorist attack. I always wanted to go to the top of the World Trade Center buildings, right? And my mom told me, we were in the city. She would say, no, we'll go another day.

They'll always be there. Mom, what do you mean? The Twin Towers are gone. They're gone. They collapsed. Our country's being attacked. I'm never going to forget. How could you forget?

How? I'm never going to forget the look on her. face. I'm never going to forget how I knew something bad was happening because I was being signed out of school, which never happened unless I was like next to death. It's the truth. I'll never forget. And you shouldn't either. Take some time today. Say a prayer, do a little reflection. Just think about where you were 25 years ago, how much it hurt. Allow yourself to feel that so that you do never forget. And make it a goal of your in life. Doesn't have to be your life's work. But make it a mission. Make it a mission of yours

to correct the mistruths, the lies, the perversion, the distortion of September 11th. Make it a goal of yours to set the record straight for the folks who might be a little confused about it. And make it known that if someone believes that we deserve, that? That person, the person deserves none of your support ever. That's not acceptable.

Lean into patriotism. It's still a good thing to be proud to be American. We just celebrated 250 years of America's existence, and we're not celebrating, but reflecting on 25 years since the darkest day

in our country's history. Never forget. and don't allow others to forget either. I hope everybody has a great weekend. I will catch you live on the podcast today. One o'clock Eastern time for Sean Farrish Live. If you're able to get there live, great. If not, no problem.
