We saw a president fail to acknowledge the events of 9 -11 by giving a speech in Anchorage, Alaska, of all places. Then he lied about it. It was an amazing thing. I mean, what a week he has had. The news for Joe Biden is bad and keeps getting worse. For example, we talked about Biden's visit to Vietnam where they literally had to pull him off the stage. Man, oh man, did you see him in Vietnam? Holy moly. They had to pull him off the stage because he started babbling like an idiot. That's the president of the United States. And listen, we better hope he runs in 2024. Let's pray for once that a Democrat's ego torpedoes their chances for reelection. Because if he runs, there's no way Americans can vote for that. There's no way. It's impossible. That's not wishful thinking. It's, it's, you know, September of 2023 and they have to yank him off the stage. They did everything but take out that old vaudeville, the big hook, you know, you put the whole, pull the hook out and drag and then do a little soft shoe off the stage. Some disembodied voice comes over the PA and says, that's it. The press conference is over. And he looks around baffled and says, thank you everybody. Thank you. Where do I go? Where do I go? Don't throw me down, Clark. Certain sharp -eared listeners know what reference I just made there. Let's listen together to grandpa Joe. I want you to, I want you to hear what it sounds like when a president of the United States literally gets, gets the hook. They're so embarrassed for him. For whatever reason, he wound up in Vietnam over the weekend. Maybe air force one took a wrong turn and it landed in Vietnam and his appearance there by, you're going to hear about it all day long today on the news, at least on normal news. You might not hear about it on ABC, CBS, or NBC, but I'm not sure that even they won't cover this because it was this bad. Check this out. We talked about, we talked about at the conference overall, we talked about stability. We talked about making sure that the third world, excuse me, third world, the Southern hemisphere had access to change. It had access. It wasn't confrontational at all. Thank you everybody. This ends the press conference. Thanks everyone. I mean, what a disaster. And then he, then he goes and shuffles off. That's the president of the United States. The music is the best part. When they started playing the lounge music, Robert is in Sarasota. Robert, you see that clip? Yeah. Can I first use your platform to say, um, my thoughts and prayers are going out to everybody today, uh, that we're victims or new people. Absolutely. 9 11. And to follow that up, our president of the United States is booked 3 ,467 miles away into Alaska. You can't get farther from New York than where he's going to be today, where he canceled oil and gas leases. And clearly there's a God because that's exactly where he belongs as far away from New York. Here's the headline that every American who is suffering through the Biden administration needs to know 22 years of never forget. And Biden is spending 9 11 in Alaska. Meantime, we still got the, uh, the occasional troll or the occasional malcontent caller to the Mike Gallagher show. And I had a texture who claims that it's not really free speech to yell fire in a crowded movie theater. Of course, we're talking about all of the Democrats efforts to shut down speech. They disagree with beginning with Trump on down. And I played a montage of the Democrats denying the 2016 election to anyone who says that Republicans are a bunch of election deniers. What do you say about all the prominent Democrats who insisted that Trump didn't win in 2016? I just got a text from Macomb County, Michigan that I want to share with you. And then I want to play a little clip for the benefit of Macomb County, Michigan, and listen to this Michigan texture. Thank you. I mean, I appreciate that you don't agree with me and you think I'm a, I'm rotten to the core and you, and you, you, you hate my, my message on, on the radio and TV, but that's okay. I appreciate dissent and I, and I am truly intrigued. I always wonder, does the left do leftists like Macomb County, Michigan really feel this way? Or are they just regurgitating talking points that they've heard on MSNBC and they've read in the New York Times? It is a fact that election laws were changed and the election process was wildly upended under the guise of COVID. It is a fact that we had an historic amount of mail -in ballots. It is a fact that we had a record number of ballot harvesting. We things know were changed in 2020 under the pretense of COVID. That's a fact. And I'm not yelling fire in a crowded theater by stating those facts. That's their go -to. So let me read the whole text to you. And then I want to give you a video response, Macomb County, Michigan. And I challenge you to text me again. I don't want to embarrass you, but I'm going to challenge you to at least text me your response when I ask you about the video response that I have to your text. Here's the text. It is not free speech to yell fire in a crowded theater. It is not free speech to perpetuate a well -proven lie that there is some absurd sweeping conspiracy that stole the 2020 election and use that lie to divide people and disenfranchise millions and millions of voters. What you people are doing is destroying this country. You are working to drive the wedge between everyday Americans deeper and deeper. And you're just doing it because there's a market for it. Either you are willfully lying and towing your party line, or you're dumb enough to believe this trash yourself. You should feel deep, deep shame for perpetuating your lies. I hope one day you realize the damage you're doing and are tormented by your own guilt forever. Okay. Now, over the top drama queen hysterics aside from that text, let's take a look at the substance of what that person wrote. They want to sit there and accuse anybody who questioned the outcome of the 2020 election as somebody advancing an absurd sweeping conspiracy. So Macomb County, Michigan, what do you say about this? Trump didn't actually win the election in 2016. He lost the election and he was put in office because the Russians didn't appear. Trump knows he's an illegitimate president. The president of the lack of a legally elected is not legitimate. I don't see the president as elect a legitimate president. You said you believe that Russia's interference altered the outcome of the election. I do. We have a president who is in fact it is proven has been assisted by the Russians and may in fact not be a legitimate president. The one thing that Trump is fearful of when it comes to his being president is that finally we will see how illegitimate his victory actually was. I have an objection. I object to the 15 votes from the state of North Carolina. I object because people are horrified. He's an illegitimate president. Do you believe Trump is illegitimate president? What I believe is that there's no question that the outcome of this election was affected by the Russian interference. There absolutely is a cloud of illegitimacy. So that legitimacy is in question. Yes. That was a very tainted election. And in that sense, it's illegitimate. Now, Macomb County, Michigan, I dare you to write me back and follow up to your original text and condemn all of your hero Democrats the way you condemned any of us who questioned 2020. You see, you don't get to have it both ways. Meanwhile, back to Grandpa Joe's refusal to attend any of the 9 -11 ceremonies in New York or Shanksville, PA, or even where he lives in Washington, D .C., to commemorate that awful historic day in America's history. Tulsi Gabbard said it best on Fox News. Biden has decided he wasn't going to be bothered. He'd be up in Anchorage, Alaska. It's outrageous. It's last night on Fox News for those like myself, many patriotic Americans across the country who enlisted because of the jihadist attacks on 9 -11. I find it deeply offensive that he specifically chose to turn his backs on all of those families and all of those Americans. White House is saying that, you know, presidents don't show up to Hawaii on Pearl Harbor after all these years. What's the point? It's insulting beyond words. It was even more insulting. I don't want to say even more insulting. It was also insulting to hear in the speech that he delivered during that fuel stop in Alaska, him lecturing the American people about how it is our responsibility that we must take seriously to defend democracy. And he is saying these words, lecturing us as he and his administration, every step of the way, are undermining our own democracy, both by his politicizing the Department of Justice to go after Donald Trump, his major political opponent in this upcoming presidential election, his going after and changing the rules of the DNC to make it so people who vote for RFK Jr., their votes won't actually count. He is sending his Department of Justice after parents who are trying to stand up for their right to their children's education. I've been thinking a lot about the difference, the major differences between the right and the left in America. For example, the MAGA movement. The putting America first philosophy is met with such disdain from progressives and leftists and Democrats. But when you think about it, putting America first is something best exemplified by Donald Trump's policies. Putting America last best sums up the Biden Democrat approach. Judge Jeanine Pirro summed it up that way last night on Fox News as well. Well, it's consistent with his America last mentality. I mean, this is unprecedented. No president since this happened has not been at one of the sites, whether it's Washington, Shanksville or ground zero. And if you're from New York City, especially, I mean, I was in the city that day. I remember the smoke in the towers. I remember, you know, my investigators saying we've got to get home. We've got to get back to Westchester. This is a very sacred day for so many people. And the president doesn't see it that way. And the sad part about it is that, you know, the world is not a safer place now. It's because of Biden now that the Taliban is back in control in Afghanistan with all the weapons that we left there. We've got an open border now with people coming in that we don't even know who they are. And you can thank Joe Biden for all of that. You sure can. You know, one of the great mysteries of life for me is wondering if this kind of crap is intentional or accidental. And I ask this question all the time. Does Joe Biden and his team say, you know what, we're going to be the first administration in 22 years not to attend a ceremony in Shanksville or Washington, D .C. at the Pentagon or at Ground Zero in New York City? We're going to we're going to change the game a little bit. We're not going to appear. Is that a mistake? And as if the actions of Joe Biden weren't bad enough, egregious enough, the governor of New Mexico, some woman by the name of Michelle Lujan Grisham, decided to amend the rights of citizens of her state. Albuquerque in particular, she declared an emergency because of an incident involving the death of an 11 year old child. The governor said, well, there's gun violence. I get to declare a declare an emergency and nobody gets to carry their lawfully registered and certified guns. We must remember. The liberties, the freedoms that so many have fought and died for. And this new New Mexico governor has literally banned Americans who have a constitutional right to protect themselves from being able to carry in Albuquerque and the surrounding county for at least the next 30 days after a child was killed in a road rage incident. It's it's it's extraordinary. What's law enforcement doing in Albuquerque? What's the sheriff doing? The police chief. She's sitting at this press conference next to a guy who looks like a police authority. He's got a big gold badge on. And he looks very uncomfortable where this lunatic governor is shredding the Constitution, declaring an emergency, a gun emergency. This is what Democrats, if you dared to question a lockdown, if you had any skepticism about vaccines, if you wondered about masks, they came after you. They shut you down. Be kind of interesting to talk to an airline pilot who lost his job or her job because they wouldn't want to get they didn't want to get a vaccine. Do you realize we were firing people for not getting vaccinated? You recognize the absurdity of where we were just just a very short while ago? It's called tyranny. What the New Mexico governor, Michelle Grisham, is doing is tyrannical. She's acting like she's the emperor, the king, the dictator of New Mexico. And they're going to keep doing this and they're going to keep doing this and they're going to keep doing this until they can't do it anymore. Everybody ought to be aware of what she's doing, because what she's doing is absolutely un -American. What she's doing is obscene, where on Friday, this New Mexico governor banned people from being able to carry guns because a child was killed during a road rage incident. She's decided to declare an emergency. Oh, we have a gun emergency here. So now I get to ban your right to keep and bear arms. Check out this exchange. I want to play it one more time in case you're not paying attention. Isn't it unconstitutional to say you cannot exercise your carrying license? With one exception, and that is if there's an emergency and I've declared an emergency for a temporary amount of time, I can invoke additional powers. No constitutional right, in my view, including my oath, is intended to be absolute. There are restrictions on free speech. There are restrictions on my freedoms. In this emergency, this 11 -year -old and all these parents who have lost all these children, they deserve my attention to have the debate about whether or not in an emergency we can create a safer environment. Because what about their constitutional rights? I took an oath to uphold those two. And if we ignore this growing problem without being bold, I've said to every other New Mexican, your rights are segregated to theirs. And they are not, in my view. I mean, this is lunacy. I pray for her safety. I pray for Joe Biden's safety. I pray for Trump's safety. I pray for all of our elected officials' safety. So let me make sure you know where I'm coming from, where my heart is. I would never want anything to happen to any of the people who are elected to hold office. But I wonder if she would be willing to have her security detail suspend their right to protect her.
The Eric Metaxas Show
Fresh update on "9 11" discussed on The Eric Metaxas Show
"Folks, I'm talking to Kevin McCullough, that Kevin show. Kevin, you wrote an article at townhall.com about the border. And again, it is mind blowing that this is happening in America. There are people coming across the border. We don't know who they are. If I were the head of the atheist Communist Party in China, I would take advantage of this loophole. I would send military age young men across that border. We do not know what is happening, but I'll tell you what, the Chinese leadership isn't stupid. I would be shocked if they weren't already doing this, if they weren't taking advantage of this, and this could blow up in our faces literally. This could be a takeover of our country in a genuine sense by a military power. Nobody seems to be paying any attention to that. Think about the fact that we only needed 19 people to pull off 9-11 and to exact the damage that caused on that fateful day. When you hear the number 1.8 million getaways on the southern border over the last three years, so there's been 5.9 million today that have crossed. 1.8 million of the 5.9, we don't know where they went or who they were. They just got away. They're the gotaways of the numbers that have come across. How many times does 19 divide into 1.8 million? I don't know, but that's a lot of people. Considering that we have stopped people from 164 countries on the southern border, considering that we've stopped people, 146 of them just this year that are on the active terror watch list, the terrorism issue is just one part of the immorality of our border policy. When you consider things like the amount of fentanyl that they have captured on the back end of this current exercise, Eric, is 23,469 pounds. Medical authorities will tell you that you need about two milligrams of fentanyl to kill a human being. If you divide two milligrams into 23,000 plus pounds, you come up with enough fentanyl to kill 5.2 billion people or the entire population of the United States 15 times over at 333 million people. That's another column. You've got the terrorism, you've got the fentanyl, then you've got what I consider to be the most tragic and most immoral policy of all. The cartels are giving up on the fentanyl trade because they've already made their dice there. What they are doing now is moving into human trafficking and sex slavery where they made, get this number, $13 billion last year. The entire GDP, Eric, is 25 billion for the United States. They made more than half of our entire nation's GDP, bringing little girls and little boys into the country so that they can be sexually abused. If righteous people don't have a bug in their bonnet over this, if you don't have a burning in your gut, if you're not ravingly spitting mad about this, then there is no hope for America because you can't find a more dangerous, a more evil, and a more disgustingly anti-human policy than the policy that the Democrats who control control Washington DC and the White House and the Senate at present, those policies that those people are implementing are the ones creating the very scenarios I just laid out. They've been there for three and a half years. This is the result of what they've done. This is the fruit of their labor. If it isn't evil, what is? That's exactly what I've been saying. You have to call it evil. It is evil. It is satanic evil to rape children.

Tulsi Gabbard Reacts to Joe Biden's 9/11 Failure
"Beyond words. That's the way Tulsi Gabbard described Joe Biden's failure to commemorate 9 -11 yesterday by appearing as every president has appeared since 9 -11 over 22 years. Biden has decided he wasn't going to be bothered. He'd be up in Anchorage, Alaska. It's outrageous, it's infuriating, and Tulsi Gabbard perfectly captured the way millions of us feel last night on Fox News. For those like myself, many patriotic Americans across the country who enlisted because of the jihadist attacks on 9 -11, I find it deeply offensive that he specifically chose to turn his backs on all of those families and all of those Americans. He's White House is saying that, you know, presidents don't show up to Hawaii on Pearl Harbor after all these years. What's the point? It's insulting beyond words. It was even more insulting.

Why Didn't Joe Biden Visit Any of the 9/11 Sites?
"Are Americans going to forgive and forget that Joe Biden became the first president since 9 -11 not to commemorate the anniversary of that day in any way, shape or form by being in D .C. or New York or Shanksville, Pennsylvania? Are Americans going to forgive him for that? Are you in a forgiving spirit? If not going to New York or D .C. where he lives or Shanksville, PA yesterday wasn't egregious enough, how about lying about where he was 22 years ago? Does that upset you at all? Does that bother you? Does that offend you? Apparently, it is provable that Joe Biden was nowhere near New York City the day after 9 -11. Listen to what he said in Anchorage, Alaska yesterday. Never forget, never forget, we never forget each of us, each of those precious lives stolen too soon when evil attacked. Ground zero in New York. And I remember standing there the next day and looking at the building. I felt like I was looking through the gates of hell. It looked so devastating because the way you could see where from where you could stand. It wasn't hard to apparently establish that he wasn't at Ground Zero in New York the day after the terror attacks. He was on the floor of the U .S. Senate. Man's a stone cold liar.
Game of Crimes
A highlight from 115: Part 2: Ric Prado Hunts Osama bin Laden and Leads the CIA Response after 9/11
"Our case is more like what the FBI did, you know, infiltrating the mafia or something like that. We have to maintain a clandestine and secure relationship, but also a very healthy relationship. We have a motto in the business that says you never fall in love with your agent, but you make them think that you're in love with them. You're always stops testing them, you're always double checking, you always put them under surveillance to make sure that they're doing what they say that we're doing, but it is very different because it's a very different goal. We don't work on problems, we work on intelligence. Well let's use that as a good springboard to start moving forward because a lot of your world starts changing, we start talking about the Cold War, you start talking about terrorism starts rearing its head, but at some point you became, worked with Michael Schur and Alex Station, the bin Laden unit. Tell us about that. Yeah, I had just come back from Korea, I had just gotten my GS -15, and I was the head of the Palestinian branch for CTC, our counter -terrorist center, and I got called into the front office by the chief of ops, and he said, look, you know, your name has been raised to be deputy chief of station for this virtual station targeting terrorism. I had never heard of virtual station, we were the first, and talking to my boss I said, well thank you boss, I mean of course I'll, you know, deputy chief of station, hell yeah, but who are we going after? And he said Osama bin Laden. And I said, who? And he goes, exactly. Mike Sawyer, Sawyer was the analyst that had been following this, so he was the chief of station for Alex Station, I was his deputy chief of station, and I was the senior ops officer, we only had two other case officers, the rest were analysts, incredible analysts and targeting officers. And by the way, that's the very same unit that eventually got bin Laden, you know, geo -located and allowed under our authorities for the SEAL team to go shoot him in the face. Excellent. Room temperature was a good result for that, but yeah, and the sad part is too, I did some work with the state department over in Islamabad training their police, their federal investigative agency, special investigative group, and while we were there at that time is about the time they figured bin Laden ended up in Abbottabad, and that's just about 30 clicks north, 30 or 40 clicks north of Islamabad, you know, right under literally everybody's noses. I just, I still have some heartburn over how much cooperation he got from the Pakistani government. Did you have concerns about that or am I just off in left field here? No, the Pakistani government is completely dual purpose. You have people that love us and people that love to kill us, meaning Americans. They're the ones that created the Taliban, for God's sake. The ISI. Their intelligence service literally was the ones that actually helped create the Taliban. So that penetration was always there. We did have, according to people that worked there, I never did, we did have some very good relationships liaison with some Pakistanis, but they were infiltrated from the other side too quite a bit. Yeah, we ended up kicking a couple people out of our training that had, once some tenuous connections came to light, it was like, yeah, I think it spells ISI is what you should have put down as your organization, but what I'm interested in, let's go back to that because that, you know, like you said, bin Laden who, not many people took him seriously. He issued his fatwa, you know, he said, here's what we're going to do. And then we started getting the bombings. We got some bombings of the embassies, right? That's correct. Well, you know, yeah, that is one of the things that set us all off because we had, when bin Laden was still in Khartoum, when we opened up the station, when we started Alex Stationing, and we had recorded intelligence from a very dear friend of mine, a Green Beret legend and CIA legend by the name of Billy Waugh. Billy was the head of security for Black in Khartoum at the time when he was there. He's also the guy that saw and helped arrest, helped capture Carlos the Jackal, the renowned terrorist from the 70s in Europe, but he was the guy in charge of doing surveillance of bin Laden. And he had him, you know, he knew what he was going to have for lunch. He knew what car he drove. He was in the white. He was not concerned because, you know, in Khartoum at the time, it was like a terrorist hotel and he was putting, pouring all kinds of money. So we came up with several plans to kidnap him, to kill him, whatever it took. And the then administration kept saying, well, we don't have enough proof. And our argument was we got overhead from satellites of the kind of training that he's facilitating with former jihadists in these other countries. We're getting all source information from all kinds of different governments that he's extorting money from the Saudis. He's doing this. He's doing that. He's bringing people in from Afghanistan when, you know, the motto of CTC is supposed to This is what we do. And the administration never, ever bought off on that. And what I always tell people is that imagine in 1997 or late 96, early 97, if we would have been able to neutralize bin Laden, the coal, the bombings of our two embassies and maybe even 9 -11 could have been derailed. You know, and I'll give away a little bit of your book here, Chapter 28, where you talk about that. You know, I mean, you just lay it out and I love it. You know, the answer is clear, thanks to the history and hindsight. Those 4 ,000 people killed in one of the U .S. Embassy attacks in Africa will still be alive today. Untraumatized, unscarred by their terrible luck, USS Cole would never have been attacked. The Pentagon would have never been hit by the American Airlines flight. The Twin Towers would still be standing. The 3 ,000 people who died in the World Trade Center still be with us. Families wouldn't be unaffected. I mean, it just goes on and on. It's amazing how much destruction, terrorism, chaos, anarchy he caused, and the point from all of this is that our administration at the time didn't have the cojones to take care of business. That is the bottom line. I mean, you do a very good job explaining that in the book. I really appreciated that. Thank you. I'd say it was definitely a fact. You know, at the time the agency was supporting us. They were carrying our water across the river, but we were definitely not getting the traction there. And a lot of people took that very personal, especially I was Chief of Officer of the Counter -Terrorist Center when 9 -11 happened. So that really stuck in my craw. Well, I can't imagine. Well, and there's an interesting... Some of it, maybe it's a little bit lower, but when the original World Trade Center attacks happened, they tried to bomb them, the idiots, which thankfully they returned the van trying to... They tried to report it stolen. That's how we ended up getting the guys. But one of the things that came out of this, I think that helped them with their future planning is when they were in court, they bring in some of the structural engineers. You come to find out the World Trade Center, the twin towers were designed to withstand the impact of a 737. So then you start... So why are the 757s and 67s targeted? Why? Because unfortunately, you never know what kind of information is going to be used by somebody later. And that's... I don't know if that helped formulate some of his planning, but it's definitely some of the stuff that came out when you find out what they're designed to withstand. And then, like you say, you get... We see... I think part of our failing is we tend to think too short -term. Why would they think like that? That's not the point. You need to think like your adversary. Your adversary doesn't think like you. That's why they win. That's why they're able to pull off a lot of the stuff, because they're thinking differently than us. I want to get into 9 -11 and what you see there. But up until that point, what do you think was the biggest impediment other than political? Was it the way that we had been trained that we didn't really understand Islamic law? We didn't understand what bin Laden... that he really meant the fatwa that he did? Were there some other things that contributed to this other than political? Political is the number one problem that you have. You cannot run operations, military or intelligence, through an optic of politics. It's two different worlds.

Mike Gallagher Podcast
A highlight from Commemorating The 22nd Anniversary Of The Sept. 11th, 2001 Attacks
"It's funny how people lie about actual real world events, even as we witnessed them on video, like Trump's visit to the Iowa football game. And he just got a resounding welcome. And they were trying to pretend he was being booed. You know, because there might have been a smattering of boos or a few people that gave him the middle finger, they wanted to pretend that he didn't get an absolute hero's welcome at the football stadium. And the video showed he did. Even CNN acknowledged it. Screaming, USA! USA! Trump! Trump! Trump! Man, oh, man. Republicans need to focus on Iowa and New Hampshire to try to stop him. I guess that might be their firewall if you're Ron DeSantis or Nikki Haley or one of the others. I don't know how they're going to stop him. We shall see. It's September 11th. We're broadcasting from lower Manhattan. It's been 22 years since the September 11th attacks changed our world forever, changed our way of life, changed the way we view, oh, things like freedom. Freedom is on my mind today a lot. And I want to start with a difficult question about 9 -11. You know, 9 -11 spurred the Patriot Act, where the government felt that steps needed to be taken in order to be able to thwart terrorism. And the Patriot Act essentially took away the freedom that many, many Americans had enjoyed. Now, I understand we've got to try to figure out how to battle terrorism. Totally get it. But what I'm not too clear on is when the door got cracked open, where today the government is criminalizing speech to such an extent that they want to lock up the 45th president of the United States. The New York Times did a huge piece. Trump's indictments, key players in the 2020 election effort, it is quite the quite the article. They call out just about everyone in Trump's orbit and essentially accused them of being co -conspirators in a crime to overturn the 2020 election. It's insane. It's insane to witness the absolute destruction of speech in this country. And I want to ask you a difficult question. I want to start with it. Did it begin with the Patriot Act? Did this begin with 9 -11? Because my hunch is it might have. And if so, then Republicans are culpable as well. I think the more immediate place we're at right now is due to COVID. COVID cracked open the door to say, hey, if you question anything about the vaccine or about masks or about lockdowns, we're going to destroy your life. We're going to get you fired. We're going to deplatform you. We might even put lock you up. If you dare, I know a guy who lost a job, a good job, because he expressed a belief on social media that he shouldn't have to wear a mask because his coworkers were triggered by him. Now, he has since sued the employer, and I hope he wins. That's still winding its way, I think, through the legal process. But that's just one example of many. Everybody has an example. Everybody knows an example of somebody who paid a heavy price for daring to open their mouth. It used to be that America is a place where you were allowed to open your mouth. You were allowed to question authority. You were allowed to question any narrative you wanted, and we weren't going to lock you up for it. Democrats in 2016 questioned the election. All of them did. I've played that montage for you 100 times. Hillary, John Lewis, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Jimmy Carter, they all said Trump didn't win. The New York Times isn't doing a big expose on them. The New York Times isn't calling them out. But now they're calling out, and I mean everybody, Ronna McDaniel, Ted Cruz, Mike Lindell, anybody within—in fact, I saw in the comments section of this shocking article in the New York Times, somebody said, well, shouldn't Fox News be next? What about talk radio? Yeah, that's right. The left wants to lock all of us up for daring to express opinions. When did this terrible, dark chapter begin? Was it COVID, or was it 9 -11 and the creation of the Patriot Act? Let's start there. I want to flood my phone lines here on this Monday in the Relief Factor studios with your phone calls. Right here in the Ph .D. weight loss and nutrition phone number, it's 800 -655 -MIKE. That's the way for you to join us. I want you to tell me where you think it began. Did it begin with 9 -11 and the Patriot Act? Because we're in a bad place right now. I just read that New York Times article three or four times in a sense of shock. Could not think they can get away with weaponizing and criminalizing free speech in America. And that's a bad place to be. Let's get your take on it. And again, you're smart. You got the smartest audience in the world. Where did it start? Did it begin with 9 -11? Did it begin with COVID? Did Republicans do enough to stop this? Give me your take on tyranny Democrat Party style 2023 America. 1 -800 -655 -MIKE. 800 -655 -6453. Press 1 to come on air with us. Press 2 to leave a voicemail.

Real Estate Coaching Radio
A highlight from New Mortgage Programs Requiring LOW Downpayments Revealed (In Honor Of 9/11)
"Welcome to Real Estate Coaching Radio, starring award -winning real estate coaches and number one international bestselling authors, Tim and Julie Harris. This is the number one daily radio show for realtors looking for a no BS, authentic, real time coaching experience. What's really working in today's market, how to generate more leads, make more money and have more time for what you love in your life. And now your hosts, Tim and Julie Harris. Three, two, one, and we're back and we are going to be honoring the heroes and the victims of 9 -11 by talking about different programs that are available to first responders, firefighters, policemen, veterans. So what we're going to be doing today is we're going to be focusing in on different mortgage programs. A lot of you probably don't know about that have, you know, requirements for much less down and maybe have some lower credit requirements, things like that. Now these programs are for any, you know, firefighter or whatnot. It's not just available for those that were a part of 9 -11, but at the end of the day, this is our way of recognizing this really historic day in American, if not global history. So with that in mind, Julie Harris. Yes, that's right. And we all know that tragic event of 9 -11 happened more than two decades ago and we can't do anything to go back, but what we can do is honor those first responders. So this podcast is our way of doing just that by educating you, our listeners, real estate professionals about how to help those who helped others and are still being of service every day. We all owe a debt of gratitude to those who have our backs in times of need. So one of the best ways to help is to be of service yourself as a professional real estate advisor. Listen to all of these really great mortgage programs. Most agents and buyers don't know about any of these. These are for first responders and consider doing any or all of the following. There are more out there than just what we're going to discuss, but I chose some of the top ones. It's worth noting, we're not going to get through all these notes today on the podcast because there's a lot of details with links and all of that, so we've made this easy for you. Just scroll down in the show description, the show notes. There's obviously all of our notes from today and we are going to use our notes as closely as we can so that you guys have reference points because we know a lot of you are going to use this for training your own agents and your teams and your brokerage. This information is also fantastic to use in social media. Maybe you want to create some short videos around these different programs. I have to say it is kind of surprising and unfortunate that so many loan officers and frankly so many of you don't know about these different programs. Give yourself a competitive advantage in the marketplace and really learn as much as you can about all the different mortgage products out there. I realize that everyone kind of bemoans the fact that there's not enough homes for sale. Well that's going to start curing itself over the next 18 to 24 months and in the interim you better know how to help all the different folks out there that are going to be looking to purchase a home because you already see this happening. People are starting to say, well how am I ever going to buy a house? Houses are so expensive. I can't come up with a down payment. That's really the focus and obviously gearing it towards honoring the fallen victims of 9 -11. So drill down and if you're thinking that oh my gosh there's going to be a lot that Tim and Julia are about to tell me, you're correct but don't worry. The notes are in the show description below. And while you're there of course, join Premier Coaching. The link to join Premier Coaching is below and you do get full access to the entire first level of Premier Coaching and in addition to that you do get a daily semi -private coaching call with one of our Harris certified coaches. So all of you should be joining Premier Coaching. It costs nothing. It takes 17 seconds to join. You're looking for the next natural step in your real estate business. I just gave it to you. So scroll down and click to join Premier Coaching. Alright so as always our job is to educate you, motivate you and get you into action. So today we're going to lead with five quick ways that you can indeed take action on what we're about to educate you on these different first responder programs. I'm going to go through these quickly. So there's five ways you can do something about this. Way number one, make a video about some of the special programs we're going to expose you to on today's podcast. Send it to your database, post it on your social media and submit a press release to your local media sources. Press releases don't cost you anything. It is, you know, that's a funny thing you just brought that up because it is fascinating how infrequently you hear about any of the local, even the very, you know, the community newspapers talking about these types of programs. That wasn't the way it was like 15, 20 years ago. Well, why is that? It's because of the advent of the three to three and a half percent mortgage on the 30 year fixed, which was the standard issue program for practically a decade it seems like. But you know, people didn't really need to know so much about this stuff when the standard 30 year fixed was pretty good. That's right. And if you're a loan officer, as many of you are also, you know, doing mortgages, it would be a really smart idea for you to make this your niche, having a real master level knowledge of all these different types of products. That's right. So you loan officers as well could make a video, should make a video about some of these programs. Then the second thing, take the information from today's podcast and do a Facebook live session or a series of Facebook live sessions, inviting your friends and followers to learn more about these loan programs. You can split the programs up and even do a weekly series. Way number three, you can do something about this. Work with a lender who specializes in first responder types of loans, FHA, VA, HUD programs, and interview them for a video, a Facebook live session, or some of, especially my elite clients have their own podcasts. You can certainly do it there. The fourth thing you could do is submit an article to your online and offline news publications about these available programs. Much of what you could put in your article, you can find in today's podcast notes. We've done some of the work for you. The fifth thing you can do is to create a first responder seminar or webinar in person or online. Present at a firehouse or several or police station or stations and see how many people you can help once they know about the special programs they probably qualify for. Bring your first responder program lender specialist with you to help answer questions. It's important to note here that though we are focused on first responders in honor of 9 -11, there are also similar programs available in many cities for teachers. That's right. We're going to talk about some of that stuff. Another good, if you're selling in a rural area, the FDA has a lot of interesting mortgage products out there, a lot of creative stuff that a lot of you don't know about, but you should be learning. That's right. I'll bring some of that to future series because this stuff is all coming out of the woodwork now.

Dan Bongino Reflects on 9/11 Anniversary
"So I'm not sure it heals much of anything but I don't know every every year I think to myself well I've now seen this footage 20 plus times or years 20 in a row and probably seen it thousands of times because you've seen it over and over but for 20 years and I've been watching it maybe it won't be as impactful next year but that never happens every every that never happens every year every year it almost gets almost gets worse I don't I don't know I don't know if I'm you you can tell I'm rarely at a loss for words being a talk radio guy but describing my emotional state has never been a I'm good at describing politics and everything like that but uh emotions don't really work well my aunt Jane who passed she was my godmother I loved her to death used to say Daniel you're like constipated like emotionally she should say that all the time I'm not really good at the whole emotions but I'm 911 just deeply impacted me for a number reasons some of you may have known people probably impacted you I knew I knew it's so difficult because Paul and I had met a week earlier we had met a week one week before on blind a date she's now my wife for 20 plus years well my wife for 20 years we've but been together 20 plus and so every year when I when I when I we have to all go through a horror of 911 again together and we should never let that go it just reminds me of so much how my my entire changed
Game of Crimes
A highlight from 115: Part 1: Ric Prado Hunts Osama bin Laden and Leads the CIA Response after 9/11
"Ola, ola, ola, amigos, amigos, players, playwrights, dudettes, everybody in between, welcome. This is a special edition of Game of Crimes. We're going to dispense with a couple of things that we normally do, small town police water, things like that, because number one, it's the 22nd anniversary of 9 -11, never forget. And this episode and the following episode that you'll find, too, that we'll be talking about the issues of terrorism. So nothing funny about terrorism, nothing funny about all these people dying. But our next guest, we'll talk about him in a minute, but we just kind of want to set that stage real quickly, though. Thank you guys for joining us. Morgan here, joined by my partner in crime. Hey, it's Murph, everybody. Yeah, hey, guys, head on over to Apple, Spotify, hit those five stars, really means a lot. And after this episode, I think you'll realize why hearing stories like this are so important. So head on over there, head on over to our website, GameOfCrimesPodcast .com. The link to our next guest book, what we'll be talking about, you're going to find that there are all sorts of good stuff there. Follow us on that thing they call social media at Game of Crimes on Twitter, at Game of Crimes Podcast on Facebook and the Instagram. But look, join us over on Patreon, Patreon .com slash Game of Crimes. We just got through recording. You can't make this shit up. Had some fun there. We did our Q &A, which is one of the funnest things we do. I think it's the most fun we have because it's driven by you, our players, right? It's a blast. It's a blast. And we've got good stuff. We got some good comments on our previous episode, 911, what's your emergency? Which was actually recommended to us by one of our guests out there, Bunny, if she's listening. That was her asking about that. So we did that. So hey, good stuff. But yeah, guys, just head on over to Patreon .com. A lot of good stuff. We've got 911, what's your emergency? We've got our Narcometer review, our monthly Q &A, case of the month, you know, and so we have a lot of fun. So join us there. Patreon .com slash Game of Crimes. Now, this is a show about crime. We talk about bad people doing bad things and bad people doing bad things to good people. But in this case, we take the story seriously, you know, we don't take ourselves seriously. Exactly. But in this case, we wanted to just take out some of this because our next guest, Murph came to us by way of a friend of the show again, good friend of the show, Patrick O 'Donnell. Yes, sir. And thank you, Patrick, again, for introducing us to Rick. This guy is a true American patriot and hero. Rick Prado is our guest today, worked as an ops officer for the Central Intelligence Agency. Now, if you've heard me talk in the past, I make jokes about what CIA stands for. But if you've ever seen our presentation, I explained that it's not an indictment of the entire agency. It was one particular person we had problems with while we worked in Colombia. The agency, in my opinion, is one of the best in the world. Everybody dogs them out because they can't publicly defend themselves because everything they do is secret, which goes to protecting our country. So, you know, I know a lot of you probably want to agree to that and you've had bad experiences or you just believe with crap you see on TV or in the movies. But Rick's going to straighten out a lot of that stuff today. You're going to hear stories that you're not going to hear anywhere else. And let me tell you, too, the great thing about Rick is we knew some of the same people and actually one of our guests we had on, Tracy Walder, previously, had just come on the agency at that time. But Rick was in charge of the Counterterrorism Center, CTC, for CIA. When you talk about the tip of the spear, they were the tip of the spear before the tip of the spear got in there, before the Green Berets got in there, before the first military boots were on the ground. It was CIA, their paramilitary officers. Guys, this is a story, you know, and I know people say, we dispel a lot of stuff. But here's the important thing, Rick gets into, we actually have some very candid discussions around 9 -11, the current threat of terrorism, what's going on in the world. We dispel and disabuse people to some of these notions about enhanced interrogation techniques. It's not torture. I know some people disagree with that. It's not torture. Not when we put our folks through the same thing. He'll talk about seer training. But I think the biggest thing that I got out of this, Murph, was just listening. Here's another guy like Jack Garcia, came out of Cuba, fled Castro. These people know what communism looks like. They know how bad this stuff is. And they came to this country. His first firefight was at seven years old. He's going to tell you about that. First time, not that he was actually directly involved, but he was in the middle of a firefight at seven years old with automatic weapons. Again, it's just what an American, you know what the American story is, Murph? Here's somebody who comes to America, loves America, wants to do everything they can to defend and protect America against all enemies and foreign and domestic. And here's another guy that's living proof of the thing you always say, just because we retire doesn't mean our oaths expire. What he's currently doing is great. So hey, look, we're going to, like I said, we're going to dispense with a lot of stuff. We just want to get right into the episode. So before we can talk about this episode, Murph, there is one thing we do have to do. Before we talk about this, I need to ask you, are you ready to play? And you guys will realize this. In honor of 9 -11, the biggest, baddest, most dangerous game of all, the game of crimes. Everybody get in, sit down, shut up and hold on. Bring Rick on a true American patriot. Unbelievable what you're getting ready to hear.
The Dan Bongino Show
Julie Kelly: Judge Chutkan Compares Jan. 6 to 9/11 Trials in Court
"You're supposed to understand what the evidence is and already know it and I thought of an analogy as a federal agent I did a lot of bank fraud cases imagine they said that about a bank fraud case that Julie Kelly say received a deposit from a Nigerian prince seven years ago and government the just found this out like you don't know that like you just found this money in your bank account maybe it was $20 you didn't even notice and now you're being charged with conspiracy and the government no no no no your lawyers don't need to review this the bank records were in your possession the point is yes they were in your possession but they weren't being used against she was evidence in a crime that's totally different that is a ridiculous assertion for the to make and even worse the worst thing that she said in that hearing if you can imagine there was something worse she compared January 6 to 9 -11 and the Boston Marathon what bombing a disgrace what an insult to the thousands of people killed on 9 -11 the eight -year -old little boy who was murdered at the Boston Marathon bombing and here she is basically comparing Donald Trump to the 9 -11 hijackers and to the Tsarnaev brothers who know you care legitimately terrorized the city of Boston not just killing three people but injuring hundreds of people so this is the kind of lunatic that Donald Trump has to deal with in this case and it's not you know her setting the trial date in March is probably one of the least offensive that things she said or did in that hearing but Dan I also pour through thousands of pages of transcripts from January 6 cases in her courtroom and I have a full report at Real Clear Investigations talking about outrageous more comments that she's made in court suggesting Donald Trump should be behind bars upset that he hadn't been charged already for January 6 and calling January 6 an attempt to overthrow democracy that it's what one of the worst crime scenes she's

Dan Bongino: Meeting Paula 20 Years Ago
"Prime show, whatever it is. Crazy how that happens. He just keeps adding to these shows. But yeah, it's been 20 years. So Well, that's crazy because we met a week before 9 -11. I don't know if you know that, but I've never told the story, but Paul and I met a week before 9 -11 and she went and flew out 9 a before -11 happened. And she worked in the building right next door. 120 Broadway at the old Security Industry Association. She was a she was one vice presidents over there. So she had worked right next door the World Trade Center. So obviously, when all this goes down, you know, I'd only known her for a few days and I'm like, oh my gosh, she works right next door. she's I hope alive. So I'm calling her on my Motorola star tax cell phone. There was no, you know, phones or anything back then. And I can't find her. And I'm thinking, oh my gosh, she died or she was hurt. This is so horrible. I just met this woman. I was really into her and I was just dead. I can't believe that she wasn't answering my calls. So it turns out she was visiting her mom in Nevada, and at least to live over in Centennial Hills over there. And she got caught over there in Nevada and just, you know, wasn't picking up her phone because it was just really chaotic when the whole thing went down. But 20 years. If you're going to ask marriage me for advice, don't. It's a mistake, especially on Facebook. Thank you, John, on Facebook's happy

A conflict had decimated the country. Everything was destroyed. There was nothing in the country. People were suffering have enough food having no access to the water and then nine eleven happened. I was very small. That tom of three. To four years old people worse came because the new now the us were have response straight. At first things were really bad. Regular people were getting caught up in the attacks. The us launched on what they thought were terrorist areas. They started attacking the rural areas Targeting the al qaeda's and talibans but then things opening up in a surprising and positive way. The taliban were chucked app and the us tried installing. Democracy aryan wanted to help rebuild his country so he joined the afghan national army. We have freedom of speech. Freedom of sick democracy in afghanistan. all those freedoms started unraveling pretty quickly when the us allies announced the end of the twenty year war earlier this year because he sided with the afghan government and allied troops are in was a target. I was imagining only a dark future. He made the really tough decision to leave his home country and seek asylum in australia on very happy to be here. And i'm very hopeful for my future. Half on triple j. She'll amadora reporting that so many people texting in someone says i'd rather not say my name but i served three to his to afghanistan and i also worked at these raelian embassy for number of years as a security contractor protecting the ambassador and day fat clients. It is a tragedy that we spent so much time and money on afghanistan and the lives lost there. someone else. I'm a twenty nine year old muslim australian and john howard made me feel unwelcome and alienated in australia. Australia would love to know your thoughts on how nine eleven affected you. If we'll three nine seven five seven triple five sonum wahidi is he or. She is a young afghanistan trillion. And she's also from the afghan women's organization saddam. Thanks for joining us on the show. How did nine eleven exacerbate racism to people from the middle east leaving in australia. Hi thank you so much for having me Look nine. Eleven was definitely a turning point. Full the global Internationally but most specifically it's affected the muslim community in the middle east and community significantly since its inception Racial slurs and racial sentiment and feeling alienated is definitely Still prominent in day to day life of many people and as a young afghanistan alien myself. I've experienced it firsthand. And it's very difficult and you know grasping with the situation. That's happening in afghanistan. Right now makes us afghans and us muslims Think what the lost twenty years before Not only Afghan feeling unsafe in the country. But definitely nine eleven has made us feel alienated to some extent Australia and abroad. Saddam came to know. What you thought about john howard's comments earlier in the show. He said back in two thousand and six australian. Muslims need to learn english. Trait women better in order to feed in with australian. Values would prime minister to get away with saying something like this in twenty twenty one. I don't think so because Definitely in two thousand and twenty one. Australia has become a bit more inclusive of migrants and refugees. But you know making statements like that definitely discredit and you know dehumanize the the struggles and the trauma of refugees and afghans and muslims. That come to australia seeking security and safety. So yeah it's a bit Difficult to look back at the sentiments echoed by john howard and different world leaders. But i don't think that it would be tolerated to some extent now saddam. You have contact with goals and women in afghanistan now in your work at the moment. What are they telling you Twenty years on from these significant events. Now that afghanistan is back in the hands of the taliban for twenty years these guild these women and even these men and young boys. They weren't so extremely hard to build their futures and their dreams and their hope. And it's been very very difficult reality that they're facing right now. We see Taliban stripping them of their rights and their freedom in a matter of months they are they. Don't they tell me that. The taliban saying on press and on national television stockley contrast what's actually happening on the ground women unable to go to university and you know the situation is very dire right now saddam. We've got about a minute. What can we as a stallions. Learn from september eleven considering how involved with being in that military action in the middle east i think we need to practice inclusivity and welcoming Afghan refugees and asylum asylum-seekers known only from afghanistan but from any war-torn country that has had to suffer the repercussions of invasion and proxy groups. I urged the australian sterling government to lobby To increase humanitarian intake and for the australian community to welcome they An open their arms and their hearts to afghans and People that are struggling right now. Because of the situation saddam wahidi who is a young afghans stralia and also from the afghan women's organization. Really appreciate you chatting to also on hack.

"So here's my my whole tangent on the whole pissed off today do i don't think y'all fathom how tired of hearing how there were no planes that hit the world trade center conspiracy have never been more embarrassed to nine entire life to know some of these people to completely discount the the sacrifice of the people especially the people on ninety three. Oh they were paid actors. They lied in chicago and they are now protection. Whatever my question to them is. Are you fucking stupid of you. Always been fucking stupid or is this something new trying spokane crack or what this the act that day. The heroism of the people that rushed into that building their rush towards danger. Not away from it. They rush towards the screams and cries of people who needed. Help out away from it. They rush towards hurting themselves. Not away from it and to have he bunch of fucking losers around touting about how well it's not real. Why don't you guys all get together and agree. Find a place where you can meet and do go over the videos and then spend some quality time going and fucking yourselves jake. You know sticking to same thing. This bullshit exactly. Not only that. But let's let's take account the heroes got. We're after that. All the firefighters police officers working dogs that were out there trying to find these people in the rubble for for days. On end there were so many people in dogs that came down with sicknesses. Afterwards you know from walking around through all the soot all the ask all the smoke dogs that we're working in in their handlers. Fifteen sixteen eighteen hours straight dogs. Were there possible. Ron burned from the heat. Coming out of the ground up they were blistered and yet they continue doing job. They continued being out there. They continued searching for people that were alive. They were continued looking for people that are just bodies at very least to try and get people home to their families for closure. It was incredible. The amount of manpower that went into this thing and how the united states of america came together in fought back and came out of all this even after all the tragedy that happened that day and not only that day but there was tragedy. You know going on for years after this with people who were there who were getting sick who had died. Slow deaths agonizing deaths. You're canine dogs cadaver. Dogs your your rescue dogs. All coming down with sickness and disease as well There was one dog in particular. That i remember. They wrote a book about him. He was a golden retriever and he was a really awesome rescue dog and he worked hours on end until he was coughing and coughing and coughing in he couldn't walk his handler. At the end of the day ended up having to pick him up basically and carry him from where he was at and he was still along the way while the handler was carrying him. Still trying to use his nose to find that last soul. That might be alive. It was incredible. The amount of people in in animals that came together from the united states in order to try and do something with this tragedy that took place and people don't understand that this wouldn't have happened anywhere else but in america and the united states. Just the only place this would happen. Were you would have that kind of togetherness from man animals both to try and get a job done and try and help as many as possible. Let me let me paint a picture right. Quick and a one a carry on the theme of gordon's of pissed off nece. I loved the new word. Gordon that's fantastic Let me paint a picture for you. So last week.

I need to know. They're there but just last night gathering these things. It's so much harder than i even think it is or would be because i think you know okay. Twenty years so much time has come. And i'm at a place where the pain never goes away. Obviously i've never closure in this story. I never will but i found a place to put it so that i can lead happy productive life and i know that's what rich would want but when i touch these relics it's it's it's is really tough. Tim says the memorial that's been billed at the site of the crash has helped to create a community among the families and the peaceful solitude of that place is what has made it so powerful for the families. You have these family members who who have now become friends with each other so while they're dealing with in some cases another funeral you know. This'll be the twentieth funeral. They've gone through with for their loved one but they are seeing friends and family who they have grown very close with over the years and i think you sort of have this very small group of people who have bonded over the years and have come to rely on each other and have become friends and they see each other outside of the memorial in some cases So they really have leaned on each other as well which is something that has been just amazing to watch over the years. That's tim lambert. He is multimedia news director and a host at w i t f in harrisburg for the twentieth anniversary. Tim and npr reporter. Scott detro- have produced an audio documentary called sacred ground. The loss grief and sadness of nine eleven is memorialized at several official sites.

"Somebody's body and mind can lead to anxiety. Depression and overtime to problems like heart disease and it can even beyond that. These changes don't just last within the individual. If this individual were to go on to have kids they're elements. That could be a prevalent in those offspring and the kids that's columbia university neuroscientist and cell biologist bianca jones marlin and so questions. Now start to rise. How long do these experiences become memorialize in the body and passed on. How many generations what is memorialized in the body and what aspects of that are being inherited into the second and third generation. Ed bianca's lab. She and her team studied this process in mice so we present a stimulus. Just a lightfoot shock on the mouse and this is in no way shape reform in comparison to the traumas that are experienced in the world but it gives us a coral it to look at a stressor and how that changes brain and what are Myself and others have been able to replicate. Is that distressful. Experience can change the structure in the brain. This small foot shock paired with a sensory. Cue in this case we use odor can change the way that odor cells in the nose respond and even the morphology of the brain which means even the structure of the brain changes after this experience. and what other researchers have shown and we're following up on looking at the mechanism. Is that when children are born. They're born with more neurons that respond to this odor that their parents were traumatized with without ever experiencing the odor. So there's a change in the parent and that changed to be inherited into the offspring so our question is how can a memory of a traumatic experience a stressful experience even as light as a foot shock be maintained in the body of the of the parent and then pass down to the offspring even though the offspring has never experienced this odor. And why would they have more receptors. I mean if if it was sort of like good design. Wouldn't they have fewer well. If understanding that this older causes some type of stress acquires you. To sense it more the more receptors we have potentially more easily. We can smell the odor at a further distance. Further away from the harm. Okay now it makes sense. How would it ever be possible to study this in humans. I guess we could look at brain images but it's not like you can get in there in the same way. I believe that what i want. Our work always focus on is not that. We're looking for something in mice to bring to humans. This is coming from the experience of humans. The stories of the struggle of navigating life and understanding that a stressful experience could be living on in you those who who who were the ancestors and the offspring of those who have survived horrific events in the world and even those who are going through horrific events now in the world. It's their stories and their experiences that motivate our works. We can understand the mechanisms and bring it back to them. So it's not as much. Can we study this in humans more. So it's we believe what humans are experiencing it. We want to alleviate that pain by understanding the mechanism to see that their scientific biological changes associated with something that someone's gone through and not just the words Or the actions. Is i think validating above all bianca's work made me think about evolution and all of the struggles that previous generations experienced if you think about like just the fact that that most humans who came before us live through war famine war famine war famine plague play plague. You know i mean it was like nothing but suffering on some level. Nothing but suffering. And i can't help wonder if this mechanism isn't impart to prepare us and to make us stronger I'm so happy you said that because that is really what we're observing these are adaptive having increase in saul number two a older that your parents were traumatized with could have negative effects if it isn't related to anxiety however if this odor presents a trauma or stressor in the future you're not prepared. Biology wants us to survive. And i think that's one thing we have to remember any change that we have should be on the element of survival. It's one the environment is not catching up or we're not adopting to the environment is when it becomes an issue. Bianca jones marlin is a.

"The world. That landfill has been a stain on this island for ever. It stinks it stunk. So bad when. I first moved here that you had to cozy windows in the summer even in the winter. Sometimes that's how bad it was. The landfill was shut down in march. Two thousand one until nine eleven happened and that the free and rubble had to go somewhere. She says you can't really get away from the landfill on staten island. Staten island mall is basically like inside the all the parks that they built run through the dump. They built a park over the dump. When jamie lee turned thirty in two thousand nineteen. She was diagnosed with breast cancer. She had twenty months of chemotherapy five surgeries and she thinks hotel no says has something to do with the landfill lost yes. She went to a pharmacy on staten island to pick up some medicine. It guy was purchasing link breast cancer stuff so someone asked me. they will like Do you have to do mind but do you have cancer. And as i guess. I do breast cancer. And then just one by one by one single person was like. Oh my god. Oh my god no me too. No no and it's not like we just came from like a cancer group or something. I never met these people in my life in january. Twenty twenty the new york city department of health and mental hygiene said. They found no evidence that living close to the landfill causes cancer. Jamie lee does not believe that. So where should the world trade center health program troll the line on who is included. John howard has to make those decisions. He's the administrator for the program. It is hard to say. No congress starts with a list of conditions that the health program can cover but the law also recognized. The program might need to expand the list to do that. Someone has to prove that what are suffering from is directly caused by toxic exposures from nine eleven. John howard says that makes unlike health insurance and more like compensation for a work injury an often. Then you have to show that it is work related so in many cases our program does resemble a workers compensation type medical program more than it. Does your standard health insurance program. It is very hard to prove that. Someone's illness is caused by nine. Eleven exposures and nothing else whenever survivors off to add a new condition. John howard and his team go through all the scientific evidence available in try to the side thus this add up to the conclusion that this is caused by nine eleven exposures. It's a difficult balancing act because on the one hand someone is suffering and on the other hand he needs to be sure that nine eleven is the reason why they are suffering. I don't think we'll know for sure In the present state of time whether we were right or wrong but we continue to work at looking at those studies. It's even more difficult because the awesome crucial bits of information that they just don't have for example when nine eleven happened there wasn't as much research about just what was in the thermostat. Kimberly and other responders and survivors were breathing. In and another example the health programs still does not have a complete count of everyone. Who was there that day and it's hard to find them all now. I would say my greatest regret is that In two thousand two three four we did not realize that we needed to to put a cohort of fifth. Sixth seventh eighth graders. Highschool students from stuyvesant high school and other areas. Around nine eleven as a separate cohort..

"Very possible at this is preventing deaths. Come out matters of life or death. We need to be precise. And once again. I wanna say that i. There is a valid critique of people who take this and don't get vaccinated but i would just focus on the not getting vaccinated part of that like forget about this yes the people who are running out to livestock shops and taking the horse version of this. That's tough like that's bad. We said it's like it's tough to steph to keep a straight face when you hear but that is their problem. That is not like you'd need to ask yourself wire upset about that. Are you really worried about that. Person's how do you know that person going at horse place. You know. I was reading about this. Las vegas feed shop. That actually is requiring people to show a picture of their horse but like really. If you're getting worked up over that you need to ask yourself. Are you worried about that person's health or you just looking to have fun. And i'm seeing people like and this is a very common thing among people we really like including some guests to this podcast. Who only talk about this. As a or st warmer and that to me is not honest because that doesn't get at the vast majority of people taking us which be honest. The problem is when we talk about this instead of just talking about the need for people to get the vaccine. It's not because we're having fun. It's because we're feeling superior and that's the problem that is that's where we heard credibility and making the argument. Well there are other issues here that are percolating throughout society. one. I'm the i hear everywhere. I see it on my instagram. I see it on my facebook. Actually hear it in real life. Is this idea that people who are vaccinated are getting coded at the same rate as everybody else. L. teams most successful wide receivers tweets this on a daily basis. And i just wanna go through the data here in this surgical so The case rate for full fully vaccinated people at sixty six her one hundred thousand people case rate for unvaccinated people's two hundred forty three hundred thousand people. So that's four times. Plus amount of people getting cova were unvaccinated and people were vaccinated or fourteen not four but fourteen times less likely to be hospitalized way less likely to die and there was a study published in lancet which is one of the most respected medical journals in the world. That just came out a couple of days ago. I think it was september. First that said that not only is there. A decreased risk of infection and severe symptoms if you get vaccinated but there is a forty nine percent lower risk of what they call long cove. Which is the months or longer version of kobe. Where you get brain fog. Her taste of smell hair loss numbness for many months. I know some people who've gotten covert at the beginning of covert and you're still experiencing symptoms so basically across the board getting vaccinated is an unambiguous. The now to me is like when somebody says this to you. People with you know people still get cova when the vaccinated. It's like well. Yes you can still get in a car accident if you are completely sober and have your seatbelt on but the result is way different. And it's far less likely to happen so maybe just drive sober and wear your seatbelt amen. To that we haven't done this in a while. L. let's do a little quarantine slash..

"Not too long ago to spend a whole podcast with two of friends to talk about this but this wall to give you some background pass and may but it went into effect last week when the supreme court declined to stop the law. Which i'll get you in a second on. The law essentially says at any pregnancy in which heartbeat is detected cannot be boarded Effectively means that nobody can happen. Past six weeks The really strange and and and terrible thing about this law Is that it incentivizes. The public sue police abortions and allows anyone living in the state of texas who is not a government official to sue an abortion provider. Or anyone else they suspect at aiding and abetting abortions and gives a ten thousand dollar word for that that is really important for a few reasons. Most important be it was crafted to prevent this live from being reviewable by the courts and this is not obvious. Let me explain this or folks. You didn't go to law school or for those who did and might have forgotten a few things that could have been me. I can't figure out why they can't start your to tell me well. Here's what happens when a state passes a law. There's this issue that you you're probably familiar with called standing right like if you want to challenge that allow you have to have standing. And in order to have standing child's estate wa usually you. You can't sue the state itself because there's this concept called sovereign immunity where the state is immune to suit spot. You can sue There's this case from nineteen o eight. That says you can sue an officer of the state who's carrying out the law. So they crafted this law and actually explicitly carve-out. It says any person other than an officer of the state blah sets can enforces law. Very specific language. Essentially saying ordinary citizens can carry out this law but not state officials which means you don't know who suit And that's when the supreme court five four said they're gonna let the law stand. They did say that there had serious questions about the constitutionality of this but were unsure of how to stop it. so essentially. what's happening is. There's nobody is sue right now. Maybe would there. It's actually more complicated an but there's nobody to sue depending on how you look at the law now my sense. Is there too big orcs in the road here. Number one is if this law is actually implemented by any citizen suing another citizen that will trigger litigation and matt's where the constitutional challenges will come from obviously this law being an effect already deterring people from seeking the care that they need which is a huge problem. But it won't be until this law laws actually enforce that people can challenge this particular law. There is an exception to that. We'll talk about that later. The second thing is that there's there is another case in the supreme court about mississippi law. That says you can't get an abortion after fifteen weeks at actually is on the docket or a this fall. Which will at least give us a sense of where the supreme court is heading all is to say. This is a particularly sinister law. There are other states. That are gonna try to copy this. My sense is that this is absurd. And that if if the supreme court allows this particular mechanisms stan than liberals should mimic it on issues that we care about so for example near surpass law. Says there's ten thousand dollar bounty on anyone. And i mean bounty not like in the way that most people interpreted but i mean in this sense for anybody who owns a gun. Why don't we do that. Then start carving out constitutional laws. At know we think will withstand judicial scrutiny. Needs for being really similar right because just like you have sovereign immunity as As a government we have through our stupid legislation. Basically given the equivalent of sovereign immunity just immunity to the gun manufacturers. So it's very similar now. Well it's just another case of republicans playing chess while we play checkers and this comes as brier has declined seems to retire. I mean we've gotta get our should together here. It always seemed. I don't wanna be negative. This is not awful but it always seems like the republicans are the ones coming up with these insane crazy mechanisms to push their world view on the majority of people who disagree with them whereas we have the majority with us and we seem to be honoring like all these things like the filibuster and etc that a no in like this sense that there's a de politicized supreme court so briar doesn't wanna step down during a democratic administration molly southie and it just seems like we're playing one game. They're playing yellow two bullets. Let's when we say we let's be fair. We are not frankly like even in washington. I think this is true. Our generation of democrats are not. It's you know. It is generally cast as like progressives and moderates but let's be real like it's like generational even know biden is largely. Come around but he was a perfect example of somebody who had been in these institutions for so long and it was really hard for him to come around to the idea that no that ain't gonna work anymore but like you know brier mansion the folks who are approaching things this way are just people who not unlike the conversation. We had a few minutes ago about how we thought nine. Eleven was going to change everything. It's taken us time to adjust to the idea of how polarized everything is after nine eleven. It's taken them way more. Because they had all these years of republicans and democrats clocking out and then go in and get drinks together. At hawkins there was a dance in the in the federal court which. That's one of the most conservative. I think the most conservative circuit in the country. I'm not gonna bore our listeners with the procedure around this but if you go down the rabbit hole. I went down looking at the way. This case has made its way through the system. I've never been a believer. That courts.

"Is in many john mckenzie. Who's out on. The streets of new york has spoken to new york city fire department officials and they report many missing firemen. Perhaps as many as two hundred. What did it feel like when you realize that your brother was in there i was known in. I couldn't believe it. You know in hope. He's not caught opinions so i immediately called his phone. And i got his voicemail. Remember watching it and then he got to a point where i can watch it anymore and then i got emotional. And you know it's gonna put kids. I remember watching a show on Pbs between enters about these twin. There were working on a power lines and guys remember when his twin brother got electrocuted. Because he thought it. So i didn't feel anything so okay i guess he's alive so as holding onto that hope is there was no sense. I didn't feel because i've not going to give you know when something happened. I always who sent him. Something was wrong with them. You know so Again the fight. Hey something's going on. I wish so at this point at in feed anything i. I was numb to it in tampa cd. I try to call new york. You can call. New york is on lines down. And i think at ten o'clock houston time i was able to quote the firehouse and called an ice. Speak to him. Hey we Do the head count so called back in a couple of minutes. And i'm saying space is more like is easy bats. I call by ten minutes but like teno quarterback and he said conan unlimited speed to the cats in the cabin. God he asked me. Why wasn't i was in texas. He said well. I think you might wanna come to new york. Keith was in the north tower of the world trade center and he along with six other members of engine. Thirty three killed in the collapse. Like other firefighters in new york on nine eleven captain washington remembers it will. He was off that day but got an emergency order. Report the firehouse with every other firefighter in new york city. It took city buses down to the site of the world trade center and by the time they got there the towers had fallen and then once we got there we we went to work. A building was on fire to whole building was gulf in flames. And after we put that fire out which took hours. We then went and searched. You know we started searching through the rubble and want to get that fi- route so that we could start searching as soon as possible. Because i just knew that they were going to be a lot of victims on the surface or right below the surface right. After bills fall is the best time to find victims and We started searching and we didn't find anybody you know we look at you know. Of course they were. Hundreds of firefighters are looking through debris we found by how many of the firefighters that were lost. How many of you know. oh. I don't doesn't i probably knew forty or fifty including the twelve black black. When did you first begin to talk their family. The minoan with devastating time. Obviously but when you start reaching out to them swimming after it was in a couple of days you know once it became clear or black. Friday is that were missing began calling era. The families and one of the instances was was my worst nightmare. Come true it was a firefighter. Named sean powell who. I had helped to get onto the job. We got him onto the job and he subsequently practice and i was always one of my biggest fears. I pushed so hard to get blacks on what happens if one day one of them that i helped get on ends up dying and ask what happened now. If you're old enough you probably remember that time after nine. Eleven was like around the clock coverage of firefighters searching for the remains of victims including their fallen brothers. Firefighters navy city were passing around the boots. A click money for rescue efforts and the phone. Firefighters were america's heroes but there was something troubling that kept in washington. Start to notice. One thing we saw. Was that not enough attention. Being paid to black firefighters who died in the line of duty on that day shortly after nine. Eleven saturday night live the first show after nine. Eleven at mayor guiliani appeared on stage to open the show surrounded by about twenty or twenty-five emergency service workers first responders since september eleven. Many people have called new york city of heroes. Well these are the heroes brave men and women of the new york fire department. The new york police department the port authority police department. Fire commissioner. tom. Von essen all number white. Except for maybe one person you know and that set the tone that we're not going to really look at this through the lens of black friday through the lens of black people who might who that and since then we've pushed on to get out of the twelve black firefighters who died when you think back to that. Snl show when you see giuliani. Their two dozen mostly white firefighters in from one of the most diversities the planet. What message did send that. They didn't even have one or two black officers any representation. It just didn't matter i. Black lives don't matter you know. and that's clearly. What what the message was that. Got put out there and you know. I don't know if it was if they didn't think of it or whether it was willful or not. But they didn't care. Kevin maynard and some of the other relatives of the twelve black firefighters who were killed started to feel overlooked too. There's still people that didn't know that it will mcnair get killed in the fight upon. They never saw it. I think it's because there was never image of them to the whole deal in nine eleven. There was no is a picture of him is a one or two stories. But didn't it was just forgotten and there'd be memorial gatherings has family wouldn't hear about. He didn't think it was willful necessarily but it was noticeable. So that's the issue that we had is that the closing google.
