On the 20th anniversary of 9/11, we remember the lives lost in the attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the 7/7 buildings in the Twin Towers. On the heels of this anniversary, we discuss the growing problem of illegal immigration in the United States.
00:01:19.680I want to just make sure we continue to have that in the box. That's the reading of the names. They've been at this for hours and we're only at the M's.
00:01:30.620also it's unexpected. I want to thank the audience. A lot of great comments about our coverage of this which we do every year. It but it speaks volumes that the media doesn't want to cover this right on the 20th anniversary when something like that occurs. They're forced to you never see the footage of 9-11. You never see the footage of the towers anymore. You never they don't cover this wall to wall which they should do all the the cable.
00:02:00.600And quite frankly the broadcast networks. Remember they get essentially a free license. And part of that or the free license predicated upon being a public service to have news and specials. Think about that for a second. The broadcast news.
00:02:16.520They should they should willingly and want to cover this. Why. Why don't they. Why does no one want to talk about this.
00:02:24.660And like I said you know there's just more information out a couple of months ago about two of the hijackers being somehow somehow part of the CIA's recruitment program at Alec station. Right. There's another part of the report that wasn't in the 9-11 commission report. I'll get to that in a minute. But let's go back to the site.
00:02:47.860We have David Zeer and Tara Dahl with fireman Ken Corrigan. David take it away. Let's let's get an update.
00:02:55.760I just wanted to add that you know about 70 percent of these illegals in New York City right now are single-aged males.
00:03:04.680You know they're not families. They're not refugees. And they're coming here from you know 160 countries.
00:03:10.980It doesn't take a 9-11 scale attack to inflict damage. Most of the attacks in New York City have been what they call lone wolf attacks.
00:03:20.000Inspire the Halloween driver running over eight people on the bicycle path just a block from here in 2017 the subway bomb.
00:03:27.900All these guys you know even even the Palestinian shooter in the Empire State Building in the early night in 1987 I think it was.
00:03:36.260He shot one killed one shot six. You know it doesn't take much to inflict a lot of damage here.
00:03:42.920And that's the position that Mayor Adams has put New York City and Joe Biden has put this country in right.
00:03:49.180Especially I talked to Todd Benzman and Ben Burkwam last few days about it.
00:03:54.460Yeah hang on one second. I want to play. This is not David Zeer or Steve Bannon saying this.
00:03:59.680Let's play the let's play the clip from Morning Joe this morning on exactly this topic.
00:04:03.040The governor of New York. The governor of Illinois. The Democratic governor of one state after another.
00:04:13.720Massachusetts. These are all pretty progressive people.
00:04:17.720They're all begging the Biden administration to do something about illegal immigration.
00:04:26.240About all the migrants that are showing up in New York about a and and yet this is this this is what's so maddening is first of all we need a controlled border.
00:04:36.700I don't care if there's a Republican there or a Democrat there and again just to put it in perspective illegal crossings were at an all-time 50-year low when Barack Obama left the office.
00:04:48.720They exploded under Donald Trump. They continue to go up under Joe Biden.
00:04:52.600So let's just let's let's let's get that perspective right.
00:04:57.480This isn't a Republican versus Democratic thing because Democrats have done a lot better job than Republicans at times.
00:05:04.780But we need order at our southern border which we don't have and we haven't had for a long time.
00:05:13.020And also when I talk to business people I talk to small business owners.
00:05:17.300They're like I wish I could get some of those people I see in New York City to come to Omaha and work in my restaurant to come to Dallas and work in my business center.
00:05:33.820I think this is this this is this is the this is the ridiculous madness you've got on morning Joe.
00:05:40.380They admit it's illegal aliens but now they want all over the country to drive down wages of African-Americans and Hispanics.
00:05:46.820David Zier what the people in New York City the citizens in New York City get the security issue that comes with one hundred and ten thousand illegal aliens in the city itself just from this wave of it.
00:06:03.800None of them really checked the people understand the security risk not just the financial burden and what's happening at the Roosevelt Hotel what's happening with the schools.
00:06:12.340That's all also a crisis. Did they understand another 9-11 could be we could be inviting it in right now.
00:06:23.620Probably not enough the rich people step over the bodies on the way to Starbucks here they're hiding in the Hamptons again like they did with COVID.
00:06:32.060So a lot of people are concerned here though I talk to people all the time in the city my children's live live in the Upper West Side and in Soho and my friends run restaurants here.
00:06:41.060All day they're inundated all day with problems the scooters the illegal you know undocumented drivers going on here and the crimes that have taken place.
00:06:52.16090,000 packages a day are stolen off the doorsteps here already in New York City.
00:06:57.040The grand theft auto is up 45 percent in northern Queens 36 percent in the Bronx this year alone.
00:07:03.340It's hard to differentiate what's a legal crime from illegals or not because they can't even keep track of the numbers.
00:07:08.700It's in cops and a lot of these crimes don't even get reported but I think people are starting together because it's finally affecting their life.
00:07:17.000You know before you know New York City was open 24 hours and everybody was partying you know.
00:07:23.660Tara Dahl you've been you've done great coverage not just in Iraq and Afghanistan you've done great coverage in the border on this invasion.
00:07:31.980Do the folks in New York City have any understanding of what's coming up to them?
00:07:40.500Like having just covered the border and I just wanted to comment too on you know on MSNBC there where they were saying there's no difference between the Republican and the Democrat.
00:07:49.400Let's just compare the numbers of the migrants that have been apprehended on the foreign terrorist watch list on the southern border under the Biden administration.
00:07:59.080We're at 146 right now and that's in the last 11 months.
00:08:02.600When you compare those numbers to the under the Trump administration you're at like zero you're at very low zero one two three the highest number was six.
00:08:13.080So there is a vast difference between this administration and the Obama administration.
00:08:17.760We're at 1.7 million known gotaways Steve since the Biden administration has took office and that doesn't include the unknown gotaways.
00:08:26.540And right now the FBI is investigating an ISIS linked network that has been smuggling in Uzbekistanis and there is a 5100 percent increase of Uzbekistanis that are crossing over and other nationalities that are coming from these special interest countries which means that they have a nexus with terrorism.
00:08:50.140And so we are at a very vulnerable position right now.
00:08:54.000Osama bin Laden had attacked America because he perceived us to be weak.
00:08:59.340He looked at our response when we withdrew from Lebanon after the Beirut bombings where we lost 241 Marines.
00:09:07.280He looked at our withdrawal from Somalia when we lost the 18 service members there.
00:09:11.920And so right now when you look at the Afghanistan withdrawal and where we are as a nation we are in a very vulnerable position.
00:09:18.080Our borders are completely open especially here in New York City where crime is just off the rough right now.
00:09:26.500And you can see it just walking down the streets.
00:09:28.640You know I haven't been to New York in a long time but you can just see it just walking down the street here of the increase in crime.
00:09:34.340And so we are in I would say a much more vulnerable less safe position than we were in 9-11 pre-9-11.
00:10:26.240Listen, we don't have all the answers on who knew what exactly in the CIA.
00:10:31.000And remember these lines were blended too by our support for the Mujahideen.
00:10:34.960The Al-Faruq Mosque was recruiting for the Mujahideen in New York which was, you know, CIA-backed funding.
00:10:40.360We gave billions to Stinger missiles, change the direction of the war.
00:10:43.300And I guess, you know, there's also, you know, areas where these relationships may have continued and in contact with our intelligence agencies.
00:10:52.100But even guys who didn't like Bush, and I don't like the direction Bush has taken or Cheney has taken, but at the time I believe they were blindsided.
00:11:00.400But even Richard Clark who hated them, you know, was saying that there were big holes in our intelligence.
00:11:05.300Whether that was on purpose or not, I can't answer that.
00:11:10.080But I think it's important to separate some facts from fiction on what actually did happen on that day.
00:11:15.360And it helps us on the journey to piece it together, right, and hold those accountable who may, including the Saudis.
00:11:25.300What do you recommend now, particularly with a second Trump presidency in his administration?
00:11:32.400David, like I said, and people should know, Zir is pretty unique in that he has the entire picture of what happened from decades beforehand.
00:11:41.360What he was talking right there was about arming the Mujahideen was in the Soviet-Afghan war,
00:11:48.960where obviously backing the certain elements of the Muslims came into really play to take down the Soviet Union.
00:30:48.820You see what's happening in New Mexico, this radical governor.
00:30:53.380And remember, keep always in mind these public health emergencies.
00:30:56.200This is what they're going to use going forward.
00:30:58.640Climate emergencies and public health emergencies.
00:31:00.680Public health emergency for taking away your ability to arm yourself in a state like New Mexico that is under assault from millions of illegal aliens.
00:31:15.060What is 190,000, 200,000 a month coming through the southern border?
00:31:50.960And how quickly can you get a stay on this?
00:31:53.180How quickly can you get an injunction so that until the arguments are heard out, that people can go back to defending themselves in New Mexico?
00:32:03.440So we filed, as you said, on Saturday evening, also gun owners of America filed and the National Association of NAGR.
00:32:15.740I forget exactly what it stands for, NAGR, National Association of Gun Rights, filed.
00:32:25.600And so there's three of us that have so far filed in district court, because obviously this is a violation of federal law of our Second Amendment rights.
00:32:34.140We have all asked, each of us has asked for a temporary restraining order, a preliminary injunction and a permanent injunction, as well as a declaratory judgment stating that what the governor has done is unconstitutional and that this cannot go into effect.
00:32:50.140We don't even want it to go into effect.
00:32:55.400But we're hoping, honestly, within the next day or two to get a ruling.
00:32:59.680We're going to ask for an emergency hearing.
00:33:02.020Our legal counsel actually has already, I believe, contacted the clerk in the federal district court to request that this morning.
00:33:11.240So I'd like to have a hearing, honestly, by the end of the day today and have a ruling by this afternoon or at the latest by tomorrow morning to get a stay put in place.
00:33:22.520It's called a temporary restraining order, TRO, against the governor while this plays out in court.
00:33:27.840But we're ultimately asking for a permanent injunction and joining the governor from doing this if the ruling is not in our favor, which I don't know how it couldn't be because the Supreme Court's decision in Bruin is so clear.
00:33:38.380We will file for an emergency appeal to the United States Supreme Court, and we could be before them within the week as well.
00:33:45.500And if they issue a ruling in our favor, that would prevent any governor anywhere in the United States from doing something like this.
00:33:52.020I mean, it's just it's such foolishness, Steve, claiming that because of the rise in gun violence, we need to ban carrying of firearms by anyone but law enforcement personnel, basically.
00:34:04.400Look what's happened in cities like Chicago, L.A., New York, D.C.
00:34:07.940Has it stemmed the tide of gun violence to have the the especially in Chicago, where you have the strictest gun laws in the United States and they have the highest rate of violence perpetrated with with firearms?
00:34:21.780Guns don't kill people. People kill people.
00:34:24.500And this just takes the the right to defend ourselves out of the hands, firearms out of the hands of law abiding citizens.
00:34:33.640It's not going to take them out of the hands of criminals.
00:34:35.640You know that. I know that. And so that's why WeThePatriotsUSA.org is standing by.
00:34:41.540We are ready to do this. We'll do this in every state where it happens, every blue state, anywhere else that it happens.
00:34:47.260They try to do this in California. They try to do this in New Jersey.
00:34:51.160We will be standing by, ready to file a lawsuit against any governor that does this.
00:34:56.680That's why it's so important that people support our work.
00:34:59.260We do have a Second Amendment legal fund at WeThePatriotsUSA.org.
00:35:03.300You can find that on our homepage because we are we are trying to create a litigation machine, basically, to fight back against these tyrants.
00:35:11.320This is I want people to understand there's a bigger issue here because it's just not New Mexico.
00:35:19.700You're going to have every one of these radical governors try to do this.
00:35:24.540How does she justify using I mean, what walk the audience?
00:35:27.580What's her logic of trying to use a public health emergency?
00:35:31.220Right. Given how definitive the Supreme Court just was a couple of a short time ago.
00:35:37.480Yeah, I mean, we saw it actually specifically during the pandemic that when people in these governors like Newsom in California and, you know, in New York,
00:35:53.960we had Cuomo and then Hochul issuing these unconstitutional orders and the Supreme Court and Justice Gorsuch in particular very clearly said that, you know, you don't the Constitution doesn't get set set aside during a public health emergency.
00:36:08.300That was very clear from the United States Supreme Court.
00:36:12.420She knows or presumably knows what the makeup of the Supreme Court is right now.
00:36:20.260But I think these people are just so brazen, they're so arrogant that they think somehow they can defy the Supreme Court and be maybe she thinks she can be a state unto herself there in New Mexico and doesn't have to abide by the Constitution or by by the rulings of the Supreme Court.
00:36:37.260You know, she actually said something that was very disturbing in public comments recently.
00:36:42.220I think it might have been last week where she said, I think it was when she was issuing this this order, that no right is absolute.
00:36:50.340And even my oath that I swore to the Constitution is not absolute.
00:37:10.880So, yes, this is their playbook now because they did get away with a lot.
00:37:15.140They got away with a lot of unconstitutional restrictions on our liberty during the pandemic when you have, for instance, lockdowns, masking, travel restrictions, people not being able to work without receiving a shot.
00:37:31.280I mean, it was it was just ridiculous.
00:37:32.620And they got away with it in the name of public health.
00:37:35.720But that needs to stop now that we're looking back on this and seeing the devastation that it has caused in so many lives.
00:37:43.060We we can't let the slippery slope go any further because they know that a disarmed population is a much easier population to control.
00:37:53.580And we've known that, you know, we compare ourselves to other countries around the world.
00:37:59.180And what sets the United States apart is that we have this right enshrined in our Constitution that the people have a right to defend themselves, to defend their families.
00:38:09.960And we're not going to stand idly by while these communists try to take over our country and strip us of that very basic human right.
00:38:17.740I want to just go back through for the audience.
00:38:45.800So I don't you know, we only have so much control over this, but we're going to do everything we can to push to get an emergency ruling within the next 24 hours.
00:38:54.680And then hopefully, you know, if it has to go to the Supreme Court, if I believe the ruling is going to be in our favor and then the state may appeal it.
00:39:04.020And hopefully the Supreme Court would take it up on an emergency basis very quickly if that had to happen.
00:39:09.920Hopefully we just get the ruling and she backs down.
00:39:12.640That's what she should do if she's smart.
00:39:14.280But I don't I don't dare try to predict what these people are going to do.
00:39:22.600Have the share with the sheriffs, particularly constitutional sheriffs, what are the sheriffs in New Mexico said about because they've got to implement this, they have to execute it.
00:39:30.740What kind of feedback have we gotten from the sheriff so far?
00:39:32.960Yeah. So one sheriff in particular, I'm trying to pull up his name.
00:39:37.840I got the I got a text about it yesterday and I'm sorry, I can't remember his name, but he said he's not enforcing it.
00:40:12.240I believe most of the sheriffs disagree with this, if not all of them.
00:40:16.860Will there be some that roll over and, you know, allow this to go into effect?
00:40:22.880Sure. But I think in especially in places like New Mexico, in Arizona, in Texas, where you see people pouring over the border, you said 10 million people.
00:40:32.680I didn't even know. I hadn't heard that statistic.
00:40:46.860And these people aren't being tracked.
00:40:49.160And now the citizens, the residents of New Mexico aren't going to be able to defend themselves.
00:40:54.120That you go out to Albuquerque, into the parks like Dennis does.
00:40:58.720And this is this this is bigger than New Mexico, because every one of these woke left wing Newsom and this whole crowd are going to look at this.
00:41:41.040We will be posting updates in there and sign up for our email list.
00:41:44.800You click subscribe or under contact at the top of our homepage.
00:41:48.520Sign up for our email list and we will absolutely be sending updates as soon as we get a ruling.
00:41:52.440And I will let you know, Steve, I'll text you if we get a ruling.
00:41:56.220As soon as it happens, I'll let you know so that you can continue covering it.
00:41:59.560And again, we encourage people, if you can, we know these times are tough, but if you can make a donation to support our legal fund, our Second Amendment legal fund, it's right there on the homepage.
00:42:15.940Let's go back to Ground Zero and the reading of the names of the victims and the heroes on the attacker 9-11.
00:42:23.140On September 11th, we remember our loved ones lost what occurred here at the World Trade Center, at the Pentagon, and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
00:42:35.620But I'd like to remember what happened on September 12th.
00:42:42.140We got up and we continue to get up by coming here year after year.
00:42:51.960You can't keep Americans down because getting up is what we do best.
00:42:57.920On September 12th, I walked from Upper Manhattan to this site.
00:43:11.400Nothing could have prepared me for the horror I witnessed standing on the West Side Highway amid the rubble of what was the Two Towers.
00:43:22.180So with that in mind, I'd like to extend a very special thank you to all of our first responders who came from far and wide, but most especially the NYPD, the FDNY, the Port Authority Police Department,
00:43:42.520and these special men and women who we often sometimes don't even think as first responders, the iron workers.
00:43:51.420There's a lot to be nervous about out there.
00:43:53.200Open social media or turn on the news and all you see is crime and societal decay.
00:43:59.160A lot of people just run out and buy a gun and then it sits in a safe.
00:44:03.420If there's ever an emergency, they're not going to be prepared and run the risk of hurting themselves or others.
00:45:44.700And my soul sister and anee, Christina Sunga Yuk.
00:45:49.760We grew up inseparable, and my heart weighs so heavy without you here with me today.
00:45:54.560Every day, there are reminders all around me of you, and I often ask myself, what would Christina say about this?
00:46:04.080Working for Cantor Fitzgerald on the 104th floor of the North Tower, you did not survive.
00:46:09.860We have done our best to turn this tragedy into good by keeping your memory alive.
00:46:16.040Since 9-11-2001, we have had 27 students receive your scholarship to follow in your footsteps from Westlake High School to the University of Michigan.
00:46:27.460You would be so proud that your nephew, Colin, just graduated from U of M this past spring, and your niece, Evelyn, just graduated from Westlake, and my Mina started her freshman year there.
00:46:42.080I have taken my six kids back to Michigan to see all the places we ate, where we hung out, and hear all the stories about their Aunt Christina.
00:46:52.960Porter Library's Christina's Corner and the reading room at Westlake High School also keep your memory alive.
00:46:59.840A big thank you to Andrew, Rob, and all of our Westlake family for their constant efforts to ensure that our future generations will never forget about you or 9-11.
00:47:10.500Your legacy also continues on, as your nieces, Elise and Melanie, have your name as part of theirs.
00:47:19.640Christina, you are an example of how one life, even in passing, continues to make such a difference.
00:47:27.340Your aunts and uncles, cousins, friends, Cleveland sisters, and Michigan sisters miss you so much.
00:47:34.060Above all else, your mom and dad miss you more than anything.
00:47:37.720They truly live for the day that they will meet you again.
00:47:44.860Keep in peace until we get there, Sangha.
00:47:49.100Let this day be a reminder of the good that can come from such a tragedy.
00:47:53.940The good that can come from one life, loved and lost.
00:47:58.300A reminder of how our country came together as one to pick up the pieces and rebuild.
00:48:02.780Let us not be divided today, but stay humbled and reminded of the everyday love, compassion, and gratitude that roots us as a nation.
00:48:14.280We more than proved that we were capable of this on September 12th.
00:48:18.040I am humbled and honored to stand before you today.
00:48:23.040I am humbled and honored to hear the names of the many first responders who bravely marched up those tower stairs to try and save you and so many others.
00:48:34.240I am humbled and honored to hear the names of so many victims.
00:48:38.620Christina, we love you, and we will never forget you or 9-11.
