00:01:28.800Greenleaf Jr., and my brother Kevin James Murphy. Kevin, we love and miss you. Beth, Connor, and Caitlin know that you are with them every day.
00:01:40.400We have all had the privilege of seeing Beth's strength and the incredible job she has done, and we know how proud you are of your family.
00:01:47.360We're lucky to cherish the time we have together, and we are grateful to be part of their lives.
00:01:51.460They are close and loving as a family can be, and your spirit lives on with them.
00:01:56.780And I would also like to thank everyone who has been part of this memorial service for the past 22 years.
00:02:05.120You have been here with us to pay tribute to our loved ones and to make sure they are remembered and honored.
00:02:11.240Over the years, you have treated us with respect and with compassion.
00:02:15.260Your actions allow us to keep our focus on our family members who are no longer with us.
00:02:21.260Thank you all for being here with us. May God bless you, and may God bless America.
00:02:29.800And my grandfather, firefighter Robert James Crawford.
00:02:34.040Being your granddaughter is something I will always be so grateful for and a title I am blessed to have.
00:02:39.420I'm so proud to be part of you and to be able to carry you with me wherever I go.
00:02:43.460Our hero, we love you to the moon and back.
00:02:46.720Keep watching over us. We know you're always close.
00:04:59.840It is Monday, 11th September, in the year of the Lord, 2023.
00:05:02.840If we can just do that, keep that on split screen.
00:05:06.840Real America's voice coverage with the war room of remembrance of 9-11, both the individuals in the event and what led up to it and what has happened to our country and the world since then.
00:05:28.840David, where are you guys in relation to where the reading of the names are taking place?
00:05:32.840We're right across from the reflecting pools right near the Glades Park, the Memorial Park, and right outside the fire department, Memorial Engine 343, ladder 10, which lost five firefighters.
00:05:46.840And my friend Pete went down, one of my best friends in Building 2 in the South Tower, which went down in a quick 55 minutes.
00:05:55.840Right across from us here, we're outside of O'Hara's Pub.
00:05:58.840We're right behind Trinity Church, St. Paul's, which was George Washington's church.
00:06:03.8403,000 first responders got respite in there and were fed for months after the attacks.
00:06:09.840It was miraculously unscathed during the attacks.
00:06:12.840And these buildings we're at right now were covered in debris, and they made a full recovery.
00:06:20.840David, we just had the commemoration of the South Tower coming down at 9.58.
00:06:26.840And for the audience, maybe that have not been with us over the years, they do a reading of the names of all the individuals in 2,977 that lost their lives.
00:06:37.840The reading of the names, and they play.
00:06:39.840There you heard Amazing Grace being played in the background of this music the entire time.
00:06:44.840And then at 10.28, the North Tower comes down, and we will break for that also.
00:06:50.840David, give us, succinctly give us, you probably better than anybody have covered this literally from 93.
00:06:57.840Give us what led to this from 1993 to the event itself.
00:07:06.840Bin Laden was inspired by the Egypt air flight that crashed off of Long Island in Nantucket when the pilot dove into the sea with that 767.
00:07:16.840There's been 25-year history of post and pre-911 attacks on New York City.
00:07:21.840The Al-Faruq mosques in Brooklyn, the Al-Salam mosques in Jersey City were radicalized by the blind sheikh who came here after being thrown out of Egypt for his involvement in killing Anwar Sadat after the Camp David peace accords.
00:08:11.840And it was a New York City motor pool guy, a BOCES-educated guy, vocation, who solved it because the FBI couldn't get the VIN number to match up from the axle on that rental van.
00:08:23.840And he said, wait, there's another book on rentals.
00:08:29.840And they invited Mahmoud Abouhalima and Mohamed Salome back to the rider truck rental in Jersey and arrested them when they went back to get their deposit.
00:08:37.840But this unfolded even further because Sheikh Rahman, three months later, was going to blow up the St. Regis Hotel, the U.N.
00:08:44.840The Sudanese Embassy apparently gave them access to the U.N. parking garage, the GW Bridge, FBI headquarters, the Midtown Tunnel, the Holland Tunnel.
00:08:53.840They bought 10,000 gallons of diesel fuel from a gas station owner, a Muslim gas station owner in Yonkers, New York.
00:08:59.840And they were caught on that day of terror.
00:09:03.840And things, you know, devolved from there.
00:09:06.840And just remember, before 9-11, there was a $32 million weapons plot broken up in northern Jersey in the Jersey City area that rarely gets talked about where they were going to.
00:09:19.840And they rounded up Islamic fundamentalists at that point in time.
00:09:23.840But even before 9-11, they killed Massoud, the Lion of Panjir, two days before on August 9th, who had 8,000 troops at the Northern Alliance.
00:09:34.840He was keeping the Taliban at bay or having success against them.
00:09:37.840And that's when bin Laden declared war on the West.
00:13:45.840I spent time, you know, so many Americans' lives were changed on this day 22 years ago.
00:13:51.840People left their careers and they joined the military to serve overseas in Afghanistan and Iraq.
00:13:56.840I served in Afghanistan, Steve, with the American Red Cross, serving our troops.
00:14:01.840And then I went back and embedded with the U.S. Marines in Helmand Province.
00:14:04.840I spent six months in Iraq and to Crete, serving with the American Red Cross as well, just serving our troops.
00:14:10.840And so the toll that was taken on so many people that volunteered to pick up arms and go fight for our nation is what we're remembering today.
00:14:19.840But this goes back to the time to really reflect in the last 22 years on really the global war on terrorism and look at it and look at our failures,
00:14:28.840look at what worked and who was the real enemy that we were fighting.
00:14:31.840Well, that was something that I spent a lot of time on the ground, like you said, Steve, and wrote a lot for Breitbart.
00:14:38.840Breitbart was the one news organization that was really covering the Arab Spring and pushing back on that Islamist control over these Arab governments.
00:14:46.840And that plan was a 20-year plan, remember, by Al-Qaeda.
00:23:38.840There's one hundred and ten thousand illegal aliens that have come through on this on this invasion of the southern border,
00:23:45.840just in the metropolitan New York City area alone.
00:23:48.840So when you're sitting there in Homeland Security, is the opposition and even random Republicans that are they do they not remember 9-11?
00:23:57.840Do they not remember the details of it?
00:23:59.840Do they not remember the sacrifice of innocent Americans and then folks like yourself that stepped up to the plate and put yourself in harm's way so it wouldn't happen again?
00:24:08.840You know, I won't say that they won't remember it, Steve, but they they don't move with the purpose as if it could happen again.
00:24:16.840You know, I think if I think if we were to transfer ourselves back to September 12 to 2001 and that was fresh on people's minds, I don't think you would see people acting on both sides of the aisle like we do today.
00:24:33.840I think you would see them moving with a purpose as in, hey, we've got to actually take this seriously.
00:24:39.840But how quickly we forget we are prone to wander as human beings and that and that's what I see across the board.
00:24:47.840And, you know, it's like, Steve, when I think about all the missions that myself and my teammates went on, how many times we put our life at risk to, you know, go over there, you know, get a, you know, high value target planning off and then go after, you know, that individual to kill or capture that individual.
00:25:07.840Every time we rolled the dice, leaving the wire coming back home and how many how many more years and more deployments of other SEAL teams, Rangers, Special Forces guys, Marine units, Army soldiers, et cetera, et cetera.
00:25:23.080It just really it really bothers me because when you look at the leadership in the military, how political it is, how political it's become and you just see all the nonsense that the commanders and the admirals and the generals are going on, you know, going along with today, whether it's diversity, equity, inclusion.
00:25:45.760Or any of the social engineering that's going on in our military, it really terrifies me, man, because I know I know how many enemies we have out there that are very, very cunning.
00:26:00.680They're very smart. They're very dangerous and they hate. And I use I don't use that word lightly, Steve. They hate us.
00:26:07.480And it really bothers me that, you know, we've gotten to the place that we're at in this country, not only where it seems as if we've forgotten how dangerous the world is, but that we put politics over the safety of Americans.
00:26:24.240Have we, in your mind, have we given all the expenditure of blood and treasure in Iraq, in Afghanistan, was it 8,000, I think, KIAs, 50,000 wounded, PTSD, suicides every day, $9 trillion spent on both of it?
00:26:46.080Did we, did we actually begin to solve the problem that 9-11 exposed?
00:26:57.180I don't think we've, I don't think we've solved any problem, Steve, honestly. I think we're just rolling right into Ukraine. Another, you know, forever war. Just keep that, you know, keep that dollar, you know, tachometer rolling.
00:27:13.820I mean, they're just, we're just going to, we just continue to escalate in Ukraine. Nobody from Afghanistan, you know, is being held accountable with all the PTSD, all the blood, all the treasure you just mentioned.
00:27:29.040We're just going to roll that into Ukraine. And, you know, I can't believe it at times when I sit there either on the house floor or I walk around and I talk to other individuals, you know, even some of them who are veterans.
00:27:42.200And I'll be like, what, what are, what are we doing? I mean, there's no objective. And, you know, there's no accountability for the funds that we're sending over there.
00:27:51.720You know, you know, what happens, what happens if any of this talk that you hear on Russian television, you know, where they send a, you know, nuclear tip ICBM across the pond and you watch the nearest city to you, whether it's Phoenix or Dallas or Chicago or Seattle, become a mushroom cloud.
00:28:14.880Is it going to be worth it then? Is it going to be worth it then? Because you have, you can't just ignore, you know, what could possibly happen, Steve.
00:28:24.800You have to go to the most severe possible outcome and think about, hey, is the juice worth the squeeze? Is this worth what we're doing in Ukraine right now?
00:28:35.420And we are so arrogant, Steve. This government is so arrogant, so ignorant, so foolish. We've had it so good for so long that it's just like we have nobody that counts the cost anymore.
00:28:48.300We're about a minute away from the commemoration of the North Tower coming down. What are your constituents out in Arizona?
00:29:01.820When they think about 9-11, what are the thoughts that come to the folks out there that you represent?
00:29:06.660You know, Steve, they have a – I represent a very patriotic district, and they don't forget, but they see the same thing that I'm seeing.
00:29:21.040They see how it correlates to today. They see that we haven't learned a lesson.
00:29:25.820They see us jumping right into another forever war as we continue to escalate, and they're disgusted by it.
00:29:32.560They're disgusted by it, and they know that there are Americans hurting all over this country.
00:29:38.580They know that there are Americans in Hawaii right now that are homeless and in horrible conditions,
00:29:46.080but they see politicians who will attach monies to go help Hawaiians right with money to fund Ukraine, and you can't vote.
00:29:56.760You have to vote on both at the same time.
00:29:58.800That's how cynical, that's how, you know, diabolical these folks are in Washington, D.C., and they're disgusted by it.
00:30:07.940Eli, can you hang on for one second? Eli Crane by phone. We have a team there. We're going to go live to the site right now.
00:30:14.560Do you get the feeling that something bad is going to happen soon?
00:30:17.760Hey, being here in the cockpit of the war room, I certainly do.
00:30:22.080But between the distractions and smokescreens in the media, we probably won't see it coming.
00:30:28.760That's why it's smart to invest in emergency food right away.
00:30:31.980As they say, it's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
00:30:36.980My Patriot Supply is the nation's leader in high-quality emergency food.
00:38:43.620Fireman Ken Corrigan says, never forget.
00:38:47.720What are we supposed to not forget, Congressman Eli Crane?
00:38:53.240You know, I'm going to step that up a notch, Steve.
00:38:57.040And I'm going to say, let's, instead of never forget, how about never again?
00:39:01.880I think that's much more important, even though I do, I do want to remember every, everyone and all the mistakes that we made up to that point and how that was able to happen in the first place.
00:39:16.140But I want to make sure that that never happens again.
00:39:18.520And if, if, if that's going to be a reality, Steve, we have to, we have to quit being arrogant.
00:39:27.360We have to understand that there are plenty of people around the world and even people within our own country that wish us harm.
00:39:33.500And that takes, you know, that takes serious security measures being put in place.
00:39:40.420And most, more importantly, Steve, it takes us putting politics aside and actually, like I said, you know, putting the American people first.
00:40:12.420And I know you guys understand how open that southern border is.
00:40:16.080Everybody, everybody around the world that has a desire to harm the United States of America knows that that border is open and there's a really good chance if they pay enough money and they work with the right groups, they can get their cells and their assassins through that southern border.
00:40:35.600I want everybody to remember, as we remember today, the heroes, the innocent victims and the heroes of 9-11, that 22 years later, we have 110,000 illegal aliens in metropolitan New York.
00:41:15.240I can tell you, having read, I think, every part of the testimony in the seven different commissions and committees to investigate Pearl Harbor, there's still many unanswered questions about Pearl Harbor.
00:41:28.400There is, even in the official, the official 9-11 Commission report, there are pages and pages that are absolutely blank, totally redacted about involvement of foreign governments in their association with 9-11.
00:41:43.520Do you believe that the basic premise of understanding of never forgetting and never having it happen again is we must actually get to the bottom of what actually happened on 9-11 and who is directly accountable and who dropped the ball?
00:42:01.100But what other nations, people, people in this country were involved, who's accountable, and who and what institutions either looked the other way or dropped the ball?
00:42:12.320Do you think that is a predicate to make sure this never happens again?
00:42:57.020The Pentagon Papers published by the New York Times, compiled by executives in the Pentagon, shows the lying that the government did, the bald-faced lying the government did about our progress in Vietnam.
00:43:13.060The Afghanistan papers published by the Washington Post show the almost 20 years of lying that the government did, the military did, about the situation in Afghanistan, the reality in the ground.
00:43:26.140And the Afghanistan papers they published are every bit as damning as the Pentagon Papers.
00:43:32.460Over the weekend, the Secret Service agent of Jackie Kennedy in the New York Times, not in Breitbart or not in Gateway Pundit or not at Citizens Free Press, but under Peter Baker, the lead White House correspondent of the New York Times, interviewed the Secret Service agent who completely eviscerated the magic bullet theory.
00:43:59.360With eyewitness testimony from the day, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. came out last night and said that his testimony – by the way, he was never called before the Warren Commission.
00:44:11.040I want everybody to understand this. He was never called before the Warren Commission.
00:44:15.480Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says that his eyewitness account completely eviscerates the magic bullet theory, which has been the central underlying predicate for the sole – for Lee Harvey Oswald or the lone gunman theory.
00:44:31.180This has happened over the last 24, 48 hours.
00:45:13.320And how does all of our financial situation actually go back to some of the actions that were taken after 9-11?
00:45:21.120Well, first of all, Steve, thank you for you in the war room for putting a face with the tragedy that happened on 9-11 22 years ago.
00:45:29.660It's heart-wrenching to see the testimonies of the people that were there, and so thank you for doing this.
00:45:35.560As far as the financial order, we've got an internal destruction of our financial system going on now.
00:45:40.820I've been very frustrated with, you know, we've been out a month, and I've come to the conclusion, Steve, it just isn't a priority of either the Democrats or the Republicans, to be honest with you, to get a financial house in order.
00:45:58.220You know, you always hear the numbers, $35 trillion in debt.
00:46:02.320What you don't hear is all the agencies from Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, interest on the $800-some billion for the military, which we're not even addressing with any of this that we're doing now.
00:46:16.760So at some point, we've got to make a stand.
00:46:20.100I think we are going to make a stand with the Freedom Caucus and many others, Eli Crane being one of the real heroes of what we're trying to do with government.
00:46:31.020But government's not going to do it on their own.
00:46:33.800And Osama bin Laden, he did his part to destroy it from the air, and the internal bureaucrats are doing their part to destroy it from the inside, unfortunately.
00:46:42.880And the Biden administration is front and center stage.
00:46:45.100Do you – when you say – I think it's pretty shocking, particularly for this audience.
00:46:52.520When you say it's not a priority, you know, today every paper's got some aspect of Kevin McCarthy coming back and being under tremendous pressure.
00:47:03.000Is your feeling that it's not a priority to get this spending?
00:47:05.560Because we've essentially partly done to ourselves what Osama bin Laden wanted to happen, which is to destroy the American economy, to destroy really free market capitalism and have this –
00:47:19.040because you understood that a robust America, an America with a great economy, with free men and women adding to that economy and enjoying the fruits of liberty.
00:47:35.140He had to take that out to have a global Islamic caliphate.
00:47:41.060But we've done this to ourselves in the last 10 or 15 years.
00:47:46.100Are you telling me – are you telling the audience you don't think it's a priority right now of leadership of either the Republican Party or the Democratic Party?
00:47:52.420The number one priority is to get this house in order?
00:51:42.280Is this fight, because the country's kind of in the balance right now on many different aspects.
00:51:47.480And this is why I think it's so powerful on a day that everybody that is emblazoned everybody's mind, where they were 22 years ago when this great tragedy happened.
00:51:58.460What action do you think the Republican Party, and particularly the MAGA wing of the Republican Party, is prepared to do over the next two or three weeks to make sure that we at least begin to start to set things right?
00:52:13.760Well, I compare it to a stairway, Steve.
00:52:16.980The longer stairway has got the first few steps.
00:52:19.160What we're willing to take the first few steps on is to, one, put the number at the pre-COVID levels as far as the dollars amount.
00:52:27.320But as a part of that, a group of us have been advocating for real border control.
00:52:33.820Again, with what's happening now, it's encouraging another attack.
00:52:39.980And, you know, this administration's been tone deaf and, unfortunately, just unwilling to do anything about it.
00:52:48.140We've got over six to eight million people in this country.
00:52:51.840And as you mentioned, 100,000 in New York.
00:54:04.960They've got to row their own boat when it comes to supporting those cities that are sanctuary cities voluntarily.
00:54:12.480And to now claim that they've – it's a tragedy or it's an emergency, that's their – it's on their shoulders, not the American taxpayers.
00:54:23.880Congressman, you've been the leader of getting our financial house in order.
00:54:28.140The clock's ticking to midnight on the 30th of September, the end of the fiscal year.
00:54:32.740You guys were able to get, I think, 70 votes, Republican votes, to go against the debt ceiling.
00:54:38.040McCarthy had to reach out to Hakeem Jeffries from Brooklyn to get those votes.
00:54:43.380I think he got 90 Democrats to vote with him.
00:55:51.280If McCarthy has to rely upon radical Democrats like Hakeem Jeffries to pass a CR and to kick the can down the road, which will lead to an omnibus and will lead to all the other madness with no end in sight, do you believe he'll remain a Speaker of the House?
00:56:06.060If he goes to Democrats on this, Steve, if he's willing to do that and put this country at risk, all bets are off on his Speakership.
00:58:04.620My late wife, Jennifer Lynn Howley, and her unborn child.
00:58:08.060A woman who brought so much love and joy to not only my life, but to countless others.
00:58:15.94022 years seems like a lifetime ago, but there isn't a day that goes by where I don't think of you and your unbelievable smile.
00:58:24.180Your spirit lives on, particularly with the Performing Arts Center at your high school, which bears your name.
00:58:32.220It's where current and future students can learn about the believer, the resilient, the vibrant, and stunning beauty that you were.
