The Dan Bon Gino Show, featuring Sean Farage, marks the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks with a powerful call to remember the truth. The episode emphasizes that while the attacks were a traumatic and devastating event, they united Americans in a shared sense of grief and resolve. Personal testimonies, including a 5th-grade memory of the day and a firefighter’s emotional reaction to footage of the towers collapsing, illustrate the enduring pain and patriotism that followed. The show strongly criticizes modern educational trends and political narratives that distort 9/11 by blaming Islamophobia or portraying the attacks as a result of capitalist or ideological conflicts. It asserts that the real victims were the 2,977 who died and their families, not the feelings of marginalized groups. The piece highlights the significance of moments like Mike Piazza’s home run in the Mets’ return game, which symbolized hope and national healing. It also confronts the rise of political figures and leftist ideologies that downplay the horror of 9/11, calling out misleading narratives in public schools and media. Ultimately, the show urges a return to truth, courage, and national unity—emphasizing that forgetting is not only wrong but a betrayal of the heroes, victims, and resilience shown that day. The emotional weight of the event, especially in personal and professional experiences, remains a vital anchor for remembering what happened and why it still matters.
All America, all the time. Sit down, buckle up and get ready for the Dan Bon Gino Show. Good morning, and welcome to the Dan Bon Gino show. It's Sean Farage filling in. It is the 25th anniversary of the September 11th, 2001 attacks. And obviously that is going to be a major, that's what the entire show is about. It's titled Never Forget, because unfortunately, as we've seen, whether it's because of education or toxic social media algorithms or just this short attention span that our nation finds itself in, you say never forget, and we've been saying it for 25 years, and somehow that message just isn't syncing in for some. A lot of people forgot, or are in the process of forgetting, or they're in the process of erasing what happened 25 years ago today. I will give you today, in this episode, the perspective of someone who was in 5th grade. That was me. On Long Island, about 40 miles east of New York City, and the aftermath, and what that meant, and all the details that I can remember, and all of the conversations and things involving 9/11 that I have been through, I don't mean to say that for pity, I mean, just have experienced since that day. And we will not retcon, we will not sugarcoat, and we will not distort or pervert what happened on that day to fit an agenda. We're just going to tell you the truth. It's hard to believe it was 25 years ago to this day that those attacks happened. Sorry, but it has been that long, but it still feels fresh. So we'll get to all that, and a whole lot more involving around 9/11 today, the September 11th attacks 25 years ago. Before we do that, I want to get to a word from our friends at American financing.

Sean Ferris filling in. As you know, you can catch my show live every day, one o'clock Eastern time. Rumble.com/Sean, SHHWN, Rumble.com/BongenoReport. The show is called Sean Ferris live. We will be there. Again, of course, today and on the radio show, BungenoReport PM every day at three o'clock Eastern time as well. 9/11, 25 years ago, today. There's a gold mine of a piece written by one of my favorite writers in the space, David Strong. He writes for hotair.com. He's got a really cool style. And he wrote just a banger of a piece yesterday. I said to you two days ago on September 9th regarding 9/11 and what a lot of people have tried to do to the narrative surrounding September 11th for a number of different agendas. David Strong leads off the piece by saying 25 years after the terrorist attacks. I, David, remember 9/11 is if it were yesterday, although I can't remember dates to save my life, I can aim things I did just before or just after that day. Because 9/11 is an anchor that is seared into my mind. And I could tell you, it's one of those things where everyone knows, you know, if you were old enough, you know where you were when when John F. Kennedy was shot or Martin Luther King was shot. You know, I was in 5th grade. I was 10 years old in elementary school is to beginning of the school year, right? September 11th. So very early on in the school year. And I could tell you, I mean, the rumors started to spread around the elementary school that a plane had hit the World Trade Center. I remember being in the lunchroom and hearing this rumor and kind of thinking like this is ridiculous, but like, who would make something like that up? I thought it was a small plane, et cetera. There were, there were some children in that school and in, you know, in the 5th grade with a different teacher who had it on in the classroom, but our teacher didn't do that. But all of a sudden, I remember a lot of people getting signed out of school. A lot of kids getting signed out of school, which was weird. But then I remember getting signed out of school, which was something that basically never happened. You know, it was like the rule basically was, if I didn't have a fever, I wasn't getting pulled from school. So I get in the car after getting signed out and I could tell something's wrong and I already heard the rumors about, you know, 9/11. But my mom picked me up from school that day and the look on her face, it just wasn't what I was used to seeing. Clearly something, clearly something devastating had happened. And she told me that the twin towers were not there anymore. I'm sitting there 5th grade going, what do you mean they're not there? It seems huge. And, you know, she explained to me terrorist attacks and this is what happened and I'll tell you, I mean, not having, I could not imagine if we had actual, you know, family members and people who we were extremely close to who were in there that day. But boy, I'll tell you what, 5th grade 10 years old, it'll screw with your head, you know, you're used to life a certain way and you're a kid, right? So you're, it's, there's an innocence about you. And then to know that such evil exists and would, and would kill thousands of people in the blink of an eye. Because they wanted to, because, you know, of a religious motivator, whatever it is, it was a slap across the face. I mean, there was a news broadcast I was watching on YouTube and, you know, the guy said, if you're a child and you're watching this and you don't have a parent next to you, I don't know what to say and I don't know how you even begin to understand it. I mean, I didn't fully understand exactly. I still don't fully understand it. But, you know, we have a greater understanding now, you know, a lot of more about the dynamics at play. You know, we're a lot more connected. You could do a little bit more research about these dynamics and such. But I remember that, I mean, I never got signed out of school. I'm talking never, right? And getting signed, I mean, we had a tropical two years earlier. We had tropical storm Floyd on Long Island. I was like the last kid in the class. I get out my mom. It's just rain. It's okay. I was like, we're in like a tropical storm. People again, signed out, left the right. You left me in the school. So I knew something was up that day. And, and the aftermath of that was obviously very significant. Strom continues on this piece as I'm sure that's for a true for everybody, right? That this is one of those things that is just seared into your mind. For those of us who were adults or teens at the time, there was a pre-9/11 America and a post 9/11 America. I somewhat remember that pre-9/11 America because our families have traveled a lot when I was younger and, you know, things changed in the airport after that. As I mentioned before, you know, for folks who were at that point, you know, in that 9/11 range, too young to remember the Kennedy assassination. Same thing. For us, it was 9/11. For us, it was 9/11. That was that watershed moment. And the problem that that I have now, because I know the impact that it had on me. And I know the impact that it had on so many, so many people. I wanted to explain something to you. If you're not from New York, the dynamic on Long Island at that time, early 2000s, and it had been that way for a while, there were a lot of people on Long Island who worked for the New York City, you know, FDNY, Fire Department, or NYPD. And it's still like that today, but it was very prevalent then. There were a lot of people, or maybe you didn't work as FDNY around NYPD. My dad used to work in the city. He used to get on a train and go to work every day in New York City.
lot of folks who lived out there on Long Island would either, you know, they would find somewhere to work on the island, but a lot of folks would go into the city and work there. But they would come out of the city and live in a more peaceful environment, which, you know, Long Island isn't very peaceful anymore. It's not bad in terms of crime. It's just a lot of people. It's crowded. But the the island was very, very much tied and still isn't away, but back then very, very much tied to New York City. Forty miles east of the city. I remember, you know, the following day in school, there were still fighter jets flying, right? Scramble in the, you know, they were in the airspace and and things of that, that nature. I remember the first time that day that I saw a commercial jetliner plane, we flown on a bunch of planes like that flying into a building. Just how could people be so consumed with hatred to think that that's the way they should, that they should behave? And so in that moment, right after 9/11, I said, as a kid, I'm never going to forget. We're never turning our back on this day. And the lessons that we're learning from this day. But you know, it was nice, the silver lining of September 11th, you know, it was nice. The silver lining of September 11th was September 12th. What do I mean by that? It was a renewed sense of, oh, really? Yeah. You're going to, you're going to come and give us this black eye. We are going to unleash hell on you on the people who did this. Everybody came together. There was an American flag on every porch, every doorstep. There were no people that came out after 9/11 that I can remember in any positions of prominence going, well, you know, the terrorists might have had a point. There was none of that. We came together as one nation, right? United. All of these, these colors don't run bumper stickers. We're showing up on people's cars. Patriotism was a thing. It was a way to flip off the people who are responsible for that attack. Regardless of race, regardless of religion, regardless of political party, regardless of creed, regardless of where you live, regardless of how much money you had, we were all Americans. We came together and we gave a giant middle finger to anybody who dared spit in the face of our country and kill our American brothers and sisters in the blink of an eye, turning our own innovation, our own equipment, airplanes and weaponizing fear. No, we weren't going to stand for that. On September 12th, we as a nation said, absolutely not. We're not going to stand for that. That was the silver lining. And we all said that we would never forget. And unfortunately, many of us have, not us, not those of you watching, I know those of you watching or listening and I know you identify, you qualify with what I'm saying. But let's go to this next article on the New York Post because boy, this is, this is some sick stuff. And I don't mean sick in a good way like shit, like I mean sick, like not good ill, hijacking history, woke teachers offer a twisted 9/11 lesson focused on Islamophobia, not the 2977 innocent people killed. Look, I will be the first person to tell you. Look, don't look at somebody and immediately start judging them based off of what they're wearing or their skin color or the accent or anything like don't, don't. That's not what we're supposed to do. Okay. It's, it's the wrong way to be. I'm not telling you, Islamophobia is a good thing. However, I will say that I'm very on the other side of this. I'm very weary. I'm very kind of on guard vigilant against those who chant death to America in our country, like what you've seen in Dearborn, Michigan. I'm very concerned is a good word about those who literally interpret and live by some of the commands and doctrines in the Quran that says slay the infidels wherever you find them. I'm concerned about it. I'm concerned about the spread of Islam Marxism right now in the country. IE, it's Communism, but it's, it's that red green alliance, right? It's Communism, but it's, it's joined at the hip with Islamism, Sharia law, Taqiyah, all these different principles, right? I'm concerned about that. Is that make me Islam a phobic? I wouldn't, I, I don't think so. But I'm definitely concerned about some of those things, all of those things. But I'm even more concerned right now that at our education system is going to point back to 9/11 and make those terror attacks about Islamophobia and not about the fact that our nation, our nation's benevolence, our nation's own technology was turned against itself in an act of brutal terror. That should be the focus of 9/11 lessons, not Islamophobia. Okay, let me be very, very clear. The victims of September 11th were the 2977 who perished on that day were the thousands who have come down with either ailments, mental health problems, have passed away, have killed themselves, etc. In the wake, the 25 year wake of September 11th, those are the victims. Nobody else. The families, of course, attacked of those people as well. Nobody else. Nobody else. I knew people whose fathers went into that city after the attacks and for weeks to months pulled out severed body parts from the rubble back. There are no other victims of the September 11th attack, but our countrymen, our brothers and sisters, our aunts and uncles. Don't you spin this up and give me some other narrative that is not going to fly. According to this article in New York Post, only two US states legally require that 9/11 be taught in public school. Isn't that crazy? And the void is being filled with twisted lefty lessons blaming America, downplaying Islamic terrorism, and portraying Islamophobia as the real tragedy of September 11th. Tell about to the families who never got their dads back, their husbands back, their brothers back, their sons back, and yes, there were females who died too, the moms, the aunts, the uncles, the nieces, the daughters. Tell us those families that the real tragedy was that someone's feelings got hurt. The America's darkest day, September 11th, and we are allowing this in our schools. We are allowing education about this event to be distorted and perverted to fit a disgusting narrative in order to downplay the act of terror that changed our nation's course direction way of life forever. And you have teachers in there that are teaching. You tell me right now that education is not about indoctrinating students. Why the hell would they be saying that Islamophobia is the real tragedy? And that's the real victim of September 11th? No. Absolutely not. Even in New York State, they have a requirement to observe a moment of silence on September 11th. New York State, you know where the World Trade Center was? The State Board of Regents includes teaching about the attacks in social studies standards, but the state has no standard curriculum covering the attacks. So in other words, teach it wherever you want. There's a module called Teaching Beyond September 11th. There's only one paragraph in that module.
He's a guy. I'm not a fan of, but he's right here. He used to be my Congressman Andrew Garberino. He says, we need a promise to never forget, but today only a handful of states require 9/11 to be taught in their schools. I'm not into Andrew. I don't like Andrew Garberino. I don't trust the Andrew Garber. He's right about that. Okay. The post article goes on to say in the absence of mandatory standards leftist activists, some back by billionaire George Soros are producing lesson plans filled with woke distortions of the attacks, even in New York City schools, according to an analysis from the North American values Institute and education watchdog. People say how could New York City vote for a guy like Zoraan Mamdani? That's where 9/11 happened. That's how because they pump this type of propaganda into the heads of the students. When they graduate, they only know one way of life, and that's the life of a leftist. That in that city, you can have a mayor, the position that the great Rudy Giuliani held, the daily attacks 25 years ago, where Rudy went towards the disaster, not away from it. You got a mayor in that city now who campaigns with and has a relationship with and speaks favorably of and is aligned with, let's say Hassan Piker, who said that America deserved 9/11. Mayor in New York City, totally cool with those comments. Never forget, it only took 25 years. That's why today is so important. That's why this show is so important. Let's go to the next article in New York Post. This is out of Texas. Texas has their board of education, has just put together their curriculum or a resolution, or they've approved of a "controversial" new high school curriculum tying radical Islam to the 9/11 attacks. How was this controversial? Who is responsible for applying the planes into the buildings, huh? Was it a Christian group? Was it a Jewish group? Was it a Buddhist? Was it a Jedi Knight? Was it a religion I never heard of before? Who flew planes into the buildings? Why are we considering this controversial? It was a radical Islamic terror attack. That's not to tell you that every Muslim is a radical Islamic terrorist, I'm not saying that. But call a freaking spade a spade, okay? Call a spade a spade. There's nothing wrong with saying that it was a radical Islamic terror attack. Nothing zero. Because that's what it was. It's never folks. Here's a quick tip. It is never the wrong thing ever to tell the truth. Ever. It's never the wrong move. What should I do? Should I lie? You should probably tell the truth. Just tell the truth. The Texas Board of Education gave that final approval to changes to the state's high school social studies curriculum, a controversial move that will impact how students are taught about Islam and Christianity. The amended social studies curriculum which covers US history, government and world geography comes after dozens of people gave public testimony with most expressing their opposition to the finalized version. The Board approved language asserting that radical Islam motivated its September 11, 2001 attacks, rather than taking a more narrow focus on the terror groups involved in the attacks. Radical Islam did motivate the terrorist attacks. I don't care how inconvenient that might be to some people. It's the truth. And it is never a mistake to tell the truth. 25 years later and we're trying to sugarcoat in favor of the perpetrators in favor of the terrorists in favor of the murderers over my dead body. I don't know if you could tell, but this topic needs a lot to me. And we're just getting started. I am not telling you that I want I want anybody who's watching this to take up arms and act violently against a Muslim. I am not saying that at all. So don't mistake my frustration and anger here for like we have to do. No, here's what we got to do. We never forget who did it. We never forget why they did it. We never forget the victims and the families who were torn apart by this attack. But we're not going to sit there and become terrorists ourselves either. Okay. Just to show you. And again, this is not to be a slight or a broad brush to say everybody who belongs to this group is a is a terrorist and was happy about 9/11. But here we go. Let's go to our first video today to show you what was going on in the Middle East that day. This is in Gaza. Okay. Palestinians out there in the Middle East. In Gaza, Israel, after learning about what happened on September 11th and the thousands of Americans who were killed and the twin towers came down and the Pentagon was hit with an airplane and United 93. Thank God for those brave passengers because who knows where that thing was headed. It may have been going to the Capitol. You could have lost hundreds of people in government. It could have been going to the White House. Nobody knows for sure. But here are these. Here are Palestinians now out there in the Middle East. Again, I'm not saying that all Palestinians are bad. I know some very nice Palestinians. All right. I'm just, this is what it is. It's the truth. There's nothing wrong with telling the truth. Here they were celebrating September 11th. They were doing it in the Middle East. Now you got people in our country who think we deserve it and we'll be celebrating today. And that's disgusting. But this is what was going on out there in the Middle East in Palestine on 9/11. Roll it. We're going to show you from the West Bank. These are Palestinians celebrations in the wake of Tuesday's terror attacks in the United States. Apparently Palestinians took to the street. Channing God is great. People were throwing candy, distributing candy to passers-by. The US government obviously has become increasingly unpopular, particularly in the West Bank and Gaza Strip because Palestinians feel that the US government has sided with Israel. One man, a Nawal Abdel Fatah wearing a long glass black dress through sweets in the air saying, actually, that's a woman. Pardon me saying she was happy because quote America is the head of the snake. America always stands by Israel and it's war against us. There you go. Okay. You want to know who is happy on September 11th because there's a lot of false narratives about that too. Right there. Palestinians and Gaza in the West Bank, celebrating. Celebrating 2,977 deaths and celebrating the rest of the deaths that would come in that day. Celebrating the attacks on our country, on our innocence, on our mothers and daughters and sons and dads and uncles and aunts and all of it. Celebrating. How do you forget now? How do you forget? How? How do you watch that? How do you watch? A group of people celebrating what happened to our country on that day? And then forget about it. And well, maybe they had a point, you know, the government was incredibly unpopular. You know what? I don't like Canada's government. I don't think we should be flying planes into their buildings. I'm just saying there's no rationalizing that. Well, if you put yourself in their shoes, no, I'm sorry. I will never. Just like I've said, this is about the Lindsey Clancy thing. Well, you have to consider, no, no, here's what I'm going to consider. She killed three children. She's a murderer. In my opinion, if I was on that jury, I would have done exactly what that male juror did that hold out and said, no, I'm not. I can't get past the fact that she viciously murdered the kids. I, I don't want to see 3,000 people dying today anywhere. Put yourself in their shoes. No, I will not, I will not celebrate a bunch of innocent people who just went to work that day getting slaughtered by Islamophonatics. No, I'm not going to celebrate that. I'm not going to look at it and go, well, maybe, they had a point. Well, if it takes the death of 3,000 people to make your point, then your point sucks because you can't make it otherwise, okay? It's disgusting. It really
is we're going to take a quick break here. And then I'm going to tell you a couple stories about some September 11th stuff I've got, I got my, uh, I got a couple hats here. You know, I love my hats. Um, one of them is just a little personal story that I, you know, I was a kid when we got this one. Another one is a very moving story about where a place I used to work and a interesting thing. So, um, I will, I'm very excited to share that with you. Before we do that, I want to take a very quick break and talk to you about our friends over at Z biotics, Z biotics, I got to tell you something. I started using something about it, started using before night out. Okay. It's called Z biotics pre alcohol.

So I have with me today, I was I was 10 years old in September 11th happened. This here is my I bought it. Got it in New York City shortly after the attacks. I realized because the twin towers were on it, but my FDNY. You could see it. The hat I still have this thing with me. I will never I will never this is never going anywhere. This is this hat means a lot. But I really want to tell you about about this one. If for those of you have seen the the movie World Trade Center, you know, that operation to grab those foremen that were trapped inside of the inside of the building. Okay. So this is a Brooklyn wall of remembrance NYPD hat. And I'm going to tell you how I came into possession of that. So I was working in a retail store. And I spoke to a gentleman there. It's I think it was right around September 11th. And I brought up that, you know, I'd just seen the movie World Trade Center. And it was a really moving movie. And you know, 9/11 means a lot to me et cetera. And he had told me he worked. He was with NYPD. And he was involved in the operation. To get those men out from from in the rubble. Right. The men who the movie World Trade Center is about. And I was fascinated by this guy. So I've continued to talk to him for about an hour. I should have been doing other stuff. I was at work. I'm out there to talk to a guy about September 11th. But he was there. There were no other people who needed help. And so I spoke to this guy for a long time, because I was fascinated by his experiences. And he was a part of the operation to remove those men from the rubble. The very similar to the scenes you see in World Trade Center. He was down the line. He had the folks come by him on a stretcher. He was telling me all of these stories. And you could tell, I mean, that this was very, it was a very heavy moment for him. It was a very heavy memory to talk about. But you could tell he was kind of happy to talk about it. And I genuinely appreciated the work and everything that he did for the city in the wake of those attacks. Right. So I wanted to keep him company for as long as I could. Not because it was, you know, I'm not going to do my work. But because I was absolutely fascinated and I was connecting with this guy on a human level. Very nice guy. And and when again, if you were in New York, you maybe didn't feel this way about September 11th, but in New York, it was it's a very sore subject that weighed on a lot of people's hearts. It was very, it's very difficult. It's one of those things in New York where, you know, you say September 11th and the entire mood in the room changes because everybody was connected to that event in some way, shape or form. And so I knew how this guy felt, right? I'd know another cops and firefighters who were involved in the operations that day. And so, you know, we finally wrap up the conversation. And you know, he was very appreciative that I took the time. I was extremely appreciative that he shared everything that he shared with me. So it was either the following day or a day or two after that. I was up in the break room. And I'm getting, I'm on break. And I'm being told, hey, you know, someone is really looking for you down, you know, down in electronics. That's where I was that day. And I said, okay, that's fine. I, you know, I only had a couple of minutes of break left. Anyway, I'll go down there. Maybe it's a family member. Maybe something bad is happening. Anyway, I get down there. And I see the gentleman that I was speaking to about September 11th, the one I was just telling you about, it was a part of the operation to get the folks out of the, the, the men who were trapped, you know, in the rubble out and back to safety. And he's with a little boy. And the little boy is his son, right? And I'm like, okay, this is cool. And so his son pulls out this hat, okay? And he just looks at me. And he says, thank you for being so nice to my daddy. And he gave me this hat. I mean, come on, guys. I said to the gentleman, I said, thank you so much. This is, this is amazing. He told me that the hat at that time, maybe you can get that hat from other people or other sources now, but that hat at the time was only given to cops who were involved either in that operation or had visited the Brooklyn wall of remembrance. And he gave one to me, I'm not a cop. But it was just that conversation, that time that we had spent. And he had his son presented to it, it was just one of the nicest moments. And again, this is one of those things where it's a silver lining of September 11th, because it brought people together. You know, and some folks may say, why is it so worn? It's because I actually had this thing in my car. Ever since he gave it to me, I would leave it on the dash board. And it got bleached by the sun. But it's been through stuff. But you can still see it, right? And YPD 9/11, all that hasn't faded. As one of the most moving moments involving September 11th, I think I've ever been a part of. And you know, it was just because of a random conversation at work that led to that. There are people who are who live in anguish and have been living in anguish for 25 years, because of this event, because of September 11th, because of these attacks. And you wouldn't know it if I look at them. Until you get to that point where that gentleman got where he thought it was appropriate to bring his little boy into the store and gift me that hat. And the kids said, thank you for being so nice to my dad, as if like that was some sort of thing that didn't happen often. Or maybe it does happen often. I don't know. But those are the types of things I look at. And I say, and there are people who will quickly discount the service that that man did. In favor of some other ridiculous narrative, and we're only 25 years removed from it. Well, I'll tell you what, there was a scandal this week with Zoran Mamdani in the mayor of New York City. And Zoran Mamdani gave this pen to the police commissioner, Tish, and she passed it along to that guy who was in some way associated with Al-Qaeda, he's one of Mamdani's lawyers, the mayor offices lawyers. Anyway, Vicki Paladino was very upset about that. And let's go to this article here on Red State, which is talking about this, this very incident. This is police commissioner Tish strikes back at Mamdani or at least looks to take in the kind of a veiled swing at Zoran Mamdani during the during this 9/11 event. Recently, there's a video there. Look, as the article says here, this is on Red State, whenever I see NYPD commissioner Jessica Tish at an event alongside New York City mayor, Mamdani, I always get the distinct impression that she's grinning and burying it as though she'd rather be anywhere else than near the man who was willfully and deliberately made such a mockery of the suffering that the city went through during and after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Well, here it is, let's play this cut. This is police commissioner Tish in there with essentially in front of cameras, taken a little bit of a shot at Zoran Mamdani reminding everybody what happened on September 11th and why let's play it. The scale of the loss and the devastation that day was unfathomable and so too was the heroism that we witnessed in response. Preserving that history also means preserving its moral clarity. The men who attacked this city were terrorists. The men and women who ran into the towers to save innocent lives were heroes. 25 years cannot be allowed to lure that distinction and shame on those who do. The courage we remember from September 11th was not
confined to a single morning. It was there in the members who moved toward the World Trade Center, while thousands of people were desperately trying to escape. It remained in those who returned to ground zero afterward, even while they were grieving friends and colleagues of their own, they kept working while families waited for answers and a devastated city depended on them. That service came at a terrible cost, and today these names ask something of us in return. They ask us to remember these men and women as more than names or numbers from one of the darkest chapters in our city's history, to preserve who they were, and the extraordinary standard of service they left to those who followed them. - Notice that she said the ones who attacked the city were terrorists, the ones who ran into those buildings to save people were heroes, and shame on anybody who tries to blur that distinction. Take those words to heart and apply that, and I hate to do the political thing on September 11th, because this used to be a terrorist attack that transcended all political ideologies we all united, we're proud to be Americans, these colors don't run, Toby Geath will put a boot in your ass is the American way, the whole nine yards, right? So like you have all of that, and now 25 years later, that's starting to, that's like eroded away. NYPD Commissioner Tish is, and she's talking about Mamdani. That's what it sounds like, because you've heard him and his ilk, democratic socialist, hard leftist, take another look at 9/11. A San Piker American to serve 9/11. Oh, you know, it's a resistance movement, you know. Even that fake news reporter, you know, during the United States government has become increasingly unpopular in the West Bank, you know, okay, fine, I mean, that's the truth, it has become unpopular, but we've taken that, and we have, like we have magnified that and amplified that 1,000 fold, to the point where there are people in this country who believe that the terrorists had a point and a right to do what they did to us that day, that the real heroes were the ones who flew the planes into the building, that the real victims weren't the ones who died, but the ones who had their feelings get hurt, or this nonsense about Islamophobia after the attacks. Don't get me wrong, Islamophobia is wrong. You should not be, again, intolerant of a person simply because of, you know, what ideology they practice. Listen, some of it's not, some of it's not compatible with Western civilization. I'm not arguing that. But the real victims of 9/11 were the ones who died on that day and thereafter because of what happened on that day. The real heroes are the ones who tried to save as many people as possible on that day. And the real terrorists were the ones who committed the acts of terror on that day, the ones who hijacked airplanes, flew them into buildings, brought those buildings down and killed innocent people. There is no other side, considerably other, there is no other side. There's terrorism and there's not terrorism. And we got people spinning up this narrative. Well, you look back at 9/11 and we have questions. Nope. As I said, over my dead body, I'm not going to let that happen. And then, you know what, I don't, I don't ever like to watch this type of content, okay? But I feel like 25 years after the fact and the fact that as police commissioner Tisha alluded to, there are people who are trying to blur the distinction between hero and terrorist. And they're willing to do it only 25 years after the attacks happened. I feel like we do need to see and hear and remember the terror that gripped this country that day. I want you to watch this video when we play this is New York City Firemen, standing in the lobby, it looks like the lobby of one of the buildings down at the World Trade Center. And you're going to hear these very loud thuds and bangs and broken glass. And I want you to understand that every time you hear that noise, that is a body of somebody who jumped out of that burning building because it was all they had left before they were engulfed in flames. I want you to understand why those people decided to jump. They were not, they didn't do it by choice. They didn't go to work that day thinking that's what they were going to do. They did it because a bunch of terrorists flew airplanes into that building and brought hell to their doorstep. And I don't like this content. It's been in my algorithm for the last week because we're getting closer. And I don't like how fresh it makes it feel. And I don't like how much it stings. And I don't like how much it hurts. But sometimes you need that to remember what pain actually feels like and why that day was so devastating. And why would happen that day was so tragic? And we can remember, we can remember the despair of that day and look back on that and say we will never forget and say it will never happen again. All right, I want to play for this video here. This is the, these are firefighters that, I mean, you could look on their faces. Again, they hear the sound of these crashing sounds and those are bodies. Look at this. You see these firefighters now listen close. You hear that? That was somebody jumping. You can see their faces. Now this stretcher, this is not a body. So don't get squeamish. That's just equipment. These guys, when we heard, they can't believe it. There's a crashing sound. It was something that we never heard before. Now they're obviously fleeing the collapse of one of the towers there. You're really going to let people forget that? You're really going to let people blur the distinction as Commissioner Tish said between, between hero and terrorist. I don't like playing content like that. I don't want to have to, but we have to. Sometimes we've got to, we've got to revive the way it felt. I don't like feeling like that. I'd rather be on here giggling with you doing voice impersonations and having a blast. And I hope even though this is a somber day that you're getting something out of this. The first time I saw that video, I couldn't play it for a few days. I'm not joking because of the noise. I know what the noise is. These guys telling you about, you know, these are people who are jumping to their death because they had nowhere else to go. And those firemen who were standing there hearing that wanted to help, but couldn't. And you could tell how much it hurt them. And you could tell how much it hurts everyone still, who hasn't lost the memory, who hasn't lost that grasp on the truth of what happened on September 11th. We're going to go to the next video here. And I want you to pay attention. This is a news report as one of the towers is coming down. This is a news report. I believe this is as the South Tower. So the second tower that was hit with the first tower that came down as the South Tower was collapsing. I believe that's what this was watch on the right hand portion of your screen. There is a fireman who is running away from or moving away from that plume of smoke that's coming in watch this again. This isn't easy to watch. This is a devastating moment, but the raw emotion that you can, that you can feel from this fireman in this video, I mean, when I saw that it sent chills up my spine and I'm not exaggerating. I don't exaggerate about a topic like this. Let's roll this video. Just a moment ago, the entire top of the building collapsed. You can see a massive plume of smoke. People are running away from the area. They're firefighters.
And they're a police trying to evacuate the area as quickly as possible. People who are near the area are in an absolute frenzied situation. The entire top of the building just collapsed. You can see the plume of smoke is coming in our direction. That's got to hear rough. We're going to leave because the smoke is coming right at us. If you didn't see the fireman in that video, uh, he's on the right hand side. And he, he throws his equipment. You could tell he's very angry. Let's play that again and swatch, just watch this, this fireman here. You can see it. Here we go. You the smoke is coming. One of the towers that collapsed. I'm not sure if it was tower one or two, but you see him throwing it. Look at that. Why is he so mad? I'm not saying this that he's acting incorrectly. I'm asking this. I'm asking you this question so you can feel it. Look at how frustrated he is. Why? What's he feeling? Why is he so angry? You know, I hear about put yourself in there. Put yourself in that man's shoes. And think about what that man's feeling right there. Friends of his probably were in that building when it came down. Hundreds of people who he was, who was in there trying to save. We're in that building when it came down. That is raw emotion. That's how a lot of us felt on September 11th, even not being involved in the operation that he was involved in. Angry that somebody would do that to us. Angry that that's the way a group decided they wanted to make their quote unquote point. Angry that 2,977 people, all they did was show up to work that day or get on an airplane to go on vacation that day or take a trip that day. Angry that those people died in a brutal, senseless massacre. Wage on our nation. I'd never seen that video before. I was on, again, I was on on YouTube, you know, scrolling. I know that's Haley's job, but I was on YouTube scrolling. And that popped up. And I like to read the comments and see which way the comments are going. And generally on this subject, it's the comments are still pretty kind. But it's starting to kind of fade a little bit that because as the, you know, the new generation, they want to, well, let's take another look at it. The comments kept pointing out to this firefighter. And I could not stop watching him. And I'm happy, Guy, that you just rolled it over and over and over and over and over again, because the anger can't fade. The emotion can't fade. And yeah, you know, you may have healed in time, time, certainly heals all wounds, but it's still a pain point. It still hurts. It still makes me angry. I know it still makes you angry. I know we all still feel that the way that that firefighter felt in that, in that video. And there are people who are trying to trying to act like that man who was clearly frustrated and upset and distraught because he could not help those who he just watched parish in that building collapsing. He was so frustrated that he couldn't get in there to save anymore. I mean, this is one of the most powerful pieces of footage that I have ever seen regarding September 11th. Never, ever, ever, forget. Now, I'm going to move to something a little more lighthearted because this, this whole show, the whole first hour or so has been very sombre, but it has to be. It's September 11th. It's not, this is not a happy day, happy birthday, a wonderful occasion. However, as I mentioned, there were some silver linings of this attack. It doesn't mean I'm happy that these attacks, these attacks happened, but I'm proud of the response of many of the whole nation, this nation. I'm proud of the way we responded to these attacks because if this something like this happened today, that, that wouldn't be the case and that's the problem. You would have some, you would have people point to fingers at Trump. You would have people point to fingers at political party. You would have, it would be, it would not be a united to be stand thing. I mean, look at what happened a year ago yesterday, something that I think, you know, everyone should just condemn the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Well, you know, he kind of said a few hateful things on the college. Get, whoa, stop. Unacceptable. After President Trump was shot at Butler, you would think, all right, that's it. Everybody's going to come in, let's, let's all make a, a good faith effort, a concerted effort to tone down the rhetoric. We don't need to live in an assassination culture. Nope, you had people saying it's too bad to shoot a mist. And then surely after Ryan Wesley Ruth on the golf, nope, nope, nope, nope. Yeah, people now saying that it was staged. But I'm proud of the way this nation responded in the wake of 9/11 in the face of this. And a lot of that, you know, people needed an outlet. After, after an attack like that, you know, you had benefit concerts and vigils and all sorts of, you know, these, these, these gatherings. But one of the things, and this is why, this is why I still watch sports, okay? Because it does provide that outlet. It does. And one of the one and I understand people are going to say bread and circuses and but you don't understand the NFL's woke and all this. I don't love the politics of these major sports leagues. I don't, okay? Like it's, it's not my favorite thing. But I'm a sports guy. I've always been a sports guy. And after September 11th, sports played a huge role. A, bringing people together, bringing people out, you know, these large gatherings, people were somewhat afraid about the large gatherings because of a terror attack. And it gave people an outlet. It gave people a place where you can channel all of that grief and all of that negativity and just, and you could just go to a baseball game and just, and just forget for a minute. You know, Dan was talking about how he went fishing for the first time in forever. I heard him on the other, on, on a show the other day. And, you know, how, for a little bit of time, you just, you're just focused on fishing, you're focused on on what you're doing. You're casting your line, you're catching fish or maybe you're not catching fish. The cliche is a bad day of fishing. Be it's a good day of anything else, right? And that's generally true. So I'm a Jets fan, right? Like it's not an enjoyable experience to watch the Jets play, but I like sports. And for those of you who are from New York or maybe you're big baseball fans, you know where I'm going with this. But the, the New York Mets, when they back when they played in Chase Stadium, right in Flushing Queen. So one of the burrows of New York City hit very hard by 9/11. Fire Department families, et cetera, and YPD families, et cetera. The New York Mets and their first game back when baseball resumed after September 11th, they were playing the Atlanta Braves and they were down three to two at the time of this. And Mike Piazza, the Hall of Fame catcher for the New York Mets, hit a home run. And this is known, this is known as one of the most iconic healing quote, quote, quote, moments after September 11th, he had a home run that gave the New York Mets the lead. You know, the, the city had just taken a huge blow. The Mets were losing to the Braves and Chase Stadium and the Braves are like one of their archemacies at the time. It was 2001. It's a year after they just went to the World Series, lost to the New York Yankees. And, you know, now they're losing. And it's like, it's your first game back. Come on, we need something. And Mike Piazza hits an absolute moonshot after, you know, they're down for the majority of this game and it, it just the feeling that went through that stadium. I wasn't there, but I know people who were and you can kind of hear it in the crowd. He hits this home run and it's just this feeling of hope and joy. And for a moment, those New Yorkers who were devastated for, for a long time, after that September 11th game where they've been devastated ever since the day of that attack, they were happy again. Just play this. This was a really healing moment. Mike Piazza's home run. Hope has wants it away and it's a deep to left center Andrew Jones on the run. This one has a chance. Come run Mike Piazza in the next three to two. Take a look at this. And here's the swinging in detail. I'm just crushed it. Dead center field and then he gets the curtain call out. That home run meant, I mean, that home run meant the world to that city at that time. You can hear it in the crowd. And listen, met fans are crazy. Producer Jim can tell you met fans are crazy people. They even if the team is down and out there out there, rooting for the team, right? They're just, they're great fans, but that was about more than just the baseball game. That was about more than just taking the lead in the baseball game in the divisional baseball game. That was a lot, that was about a lot more Mike Piazza's jersey from that game is in the baseball Hall of Fame. Not because he had a home run and gave them it to leave, but because of when he did it. It was very significant sports.
guys. It's not the most important thing in the world. I get it. If your favorite sports team wins or loses, your taxes don't go up or down. You don't get Marxist ideology getting pumped into your schools. It's not going to determine who's going to war with who in the Middle East. I understand. It's not significant in the in the grand scheme of things, but it does have a role. And it played a role after September 11th. People came out and rallied around their sports teams and rallied around New York, rallied around the Metz and rallied around the Yankees. And I bet you you can go back to this day to the pitcher who was on the mound. So I believe that was the manager Bobby Cox, the Atlanta Braves, and they'll tell you, yeah, you know what? I don't like giving up her months of the Metz, but that one will let slide because of what had happened. Now that they did it on purpose, that was a magical moment in sports history and the New York Metz history. And in United States history was the first game of the Metro plans in September 11th and Piazza. It's this just, I mean, moonshot, dead center field, 410 footballs and Shay Steyn. That place was a was a was not the most hitter friendly park. And he had the deepest part of the ballpark, Shay Steyn. 410 feet, the dead center, I believe. That's not small potato skies. Now the voice of that call, and there's Piazza. I mean, look where this thing goes, man, look what this thing landed, right? The boy, look at the crowd. I mean, they're on their feet. They're so happy. They're elated, right? The voice of that calls man by the name of Howie Rose. He was the Metz radio voice for a while in a Gary Cohen did radio for them. Gary Cohen does, it does TV for them for us and why, but the voice of that call was Howie Rose. Now, why do I bring that up? Because in 2011, I think it's when Osama bin Laden was killed. Howie Rose, once again, finds himself on the call, calling a New York Metz game while they're playing this time in an at least division rival, the Philadelphia Phillies, they're in Philadelphia. And all of a sudden, the stadium starts chanting USA, right? USA. They're chanting USA. And it's Howie Rose again with a call where all of a sudden sports and being out of the sports game, it just doesn't matter who you're rooting for at that time. You're coming together as Americans play this. Now, the pitch and it's line foul into the seats down the third base line. One ball, one strike and I'll tell you what's going on. The crowd is chanting USA. And the reason for that is that there are reports circulating. I am not sure if they've yet been confirmed by the White House that Osama bin Laden is dead. How that's happened? We don't know. But this crowd now knows it. It's amazing how things seem so important for the moment, like they did when Ryan Howard batted with the bases loaded. And then if it's true that Osama bin Laden has been captured, killed or whatever, it just takes you back to that awful, awful day. And you wonder why you get so upset or worked up over a baseball game in the first place. And that, my friends, is why I appreciate sports. And boy, did how he rose, handled that like it. How he rose a pro pro. He was also the one who called the New York Rangers when in the Stanley Cup, which is something that I hate to acknowledge happened because I'm an islander's fan, but he was the one, the motto, the whole thing. Did you get goosebumps from that? Because I did. Nobody cared about that. That was a close game. That's Philly. It was a close game. One, one, late stages of the game. And everyone's on their phone because they're getting news that Osama bin Laden was killed. Took a long time to get him, but the whole stadium starts chaining USA. Because at that time, we hadn't really started to allow what happened on September 11th to be distorted and perverted and spun up to fit a new narrative. It's still something for a lot of people. I just didn't think that 15 years after that, we'd be having a different conversation about how quickly people have forgotten what it felt like on that day when we were attacked. I couldn't believe it. I can't believe what I'm seeing in some of these, in some of these cases. All right. Let's move on. Osama bin Laden dead and you heard how he rose, the great how he rose saying, I'm gonna tell you what's going on. There's some reports going on. He didn't use the Dambon Gino rule. He did say, he did say reports. And the whole crowd is chanting USA. It was, it was, it was pretty awesome. A pretty awesome moment. I remember, I remember when that happened. I was like, wow, this is so special. The whole stadium, who cares, that's Philly's. It's tied late stages of the game. We just smoked Osama bin Laden. F. Yeah. Proud to be American USA. Makes you wonder if we're ever going to get back to that. I think we can, but it's going to take all of us leaning into that patriotism, leaning into that to what never forget actually means. All right. I want to move on to a wild story. Here we go. He's a son of a 9/11 victim. And this is off the post millennial son of a 9/11 victim at a rally in New York City. As a matter of fact, I know some of the folks who were involved in organizing this thing. And it seems to have been a pretty big success. And this clip from their rally has gone viral. But a son of a 9/11 victim has is blasting socialists for believing that Americans quote unquote, deserved to get murdered in terror attacks because it was part of an evil capitalist system. So this is somebody taking a stand against the nonsense, the new narrative, the spin, the garbage that's being taught to well, put yourself on their shoe. Let's look at it on the other side of things. This is how I feel about 9/11 and this guy, this son of this 9/11 victim who slammed Mamdani and socialist policy makers and socialists running for office and candidates. Von Coleman told this crowd of the silver lining of the 25th anniversary is that people came together. And I promise you, I, what I say at the beginning, that's why I'm telling you, and that's why I'm bookending it with this. People came together. But I want you to, I want to play these comments from Von Coleman about the, the, the, the, the socialists who are trying to divide people and celebrate 9/11. Let's play it. If we went to bed on September 10th, he kept his calthacross and he kissed it. He runs for me. He runs for my sister. He runs for my mother. And once again for her family. I'm going to hurt to work that day. Now, like everyone else, you want to work not thinking that there were people that wanted to kill him simply for being an American. He was blind to that night. But what's our excuse 25 years later? 25 years later, we know that research for weeks hoping to find something that there was nothing left to bury. Not even his cross, but there's a silver lining that until recently I never understood that people would tell me about. That people came together that it didn't matter if you were Republican or Democrat. But we were united on something. We were united as Americans. And people who worked at the World Trade Center were capitalists. These people don't support these things. We're not just talking about standard partisan agreements. This is different. So you hear him and his father died on September 11th, 2001. Okay. It's a lot more real when you have one of these family members in front of you, isn't it? I can say 2977 till I'm blue in the face. I could talk about the 343 till I'm blue in the face. That's the NYPDFD and why those the heroes. I could talk about all those things that I'm blue in the face. But now you heard the son of one of those victims, makes it feel a lot more real, doesn't it? Carries a little more water, doesn't it? Packs a little bit more of a punch, doesn't it? This is why we can never forget. This is why Vaughn Coleman is why his family is why we can never forget. Now, like I said, I hate to get political about September 11th, but unfortunately, the left has turned it into a political thing. His left, the left, sorry, has turned it into a political thing. He said in that speech, by the way, Vaughn Coleman, they're just going to read for you a little bit more. He says, newsflash, you wouldn't have agreed with all 3,000 people that were killed. It didn't matter. They were Americans. That's what mattered. He said he doesn't want to live in a country where his children are told by their teachers and college professors, which is where a lot of this is happening that their grant, that their grandfather deserve to get murdered because he was part of the evil capitalist system. You heard that. Folks, this isn't a joke. Vaughn Coleman also noted that Charlie Kirk, when he was murdered on September 10th, 2025, his mother turned to him and said, this is just like your father.
in terms of terror. The difference is 25 years ago, people didn't cheer when that kind of thing happened. It's true. We've fallen real far. A lot of that starts in the schools. And who's responsible for the left-wing ideology that's getting pumped into the heads of your sons, your daughters, your nieces, your nephews, your children, whoever, in school? That would be the radical left who wants to produce good little foot soldiers who waive the banner of big government and socialism. So that's what they teach in the schools. Socialism is great. America is terrible. Where our country is a colonialist, it's built on stolen land, a terrorist at a point. And it is morphed into this terrible three-word phrase, four-word phrase. America deserved 9/11. Death to America. Those are the people that the Democrats and the radical left are cosying up to. Those are the people that they're allowing in their big tent. You don't have to tell me it's a strength, not a weakness. It's worse than a weakness. That is a cancer. That is a travesty. That is a disgrace that you allow that idea in your quote-unquote tent. That you allow death to America in your tent. You allow the mere consideration of the thought that 2,977 people deserve to die on September 11th in your tent. But then again, look at some of the leaders in your tent. This is a video from the NRCC. I believe that's the National Republican Congressional Committee about the Democrats not condemning anyone who says these horrible things about September 11th. America deserved it. Always, you know, reducing it down to some people did something. That's what we're running against. You want those people? Running our country in control of one or both houses of Congress? I don't. You better vote like hell this November. Let's roll this cut here from the NRCC. 25 years. That's how long it took for Democrats to go from never forget to this. America deserved 9/11, dude. Some people did something. It was 9/11 in inevitable consequence for America. That dark day was almost 3,000 fathers, mothers, heroes, Americans, murdered by radical terrorists. But today's Democrats' align was socialist radicals who say we deserved it. Will, Lord, 24 Congress. I can hear the man. Thank you. I still love the guy. People. Right, with 9/11, the idea that we have to apologize for like a terror attack that like a couple of people did. Democrats won't condemn burning our flag or chanting death to America. They're burning American flags and chanting death to America. I'm, I'm not privy to, I haven't seen these reports. Burning the American flag and chanting death to America? At a rally in your district, people were chanting death to America. Do you condemn, you condemn chance of death to America? No, no, no, no, no. When political candidates and public officials refuse to condemn global terror and freeze as such as globalizing the interferer, they're inviting another 9/11 God forbid. Or even fire bombing Americans. Kuros is under fire for refusing to say that this fire bombing attack on a group of Jews last year was an act of anti-Semitism. Now, radicals are. I don't know what else there is to say. Other than number one, that's a very powerful ad and that should be everywhere. Number one. Because that really highlights what you're running against. But man, hearing those comments again from folks like me like Kuros, Ilhan Omar, Hassan Piker, and so on and so forth. And watching as people like Iana Presley and AOC played dumb. Oh, what? They're chanting death to America? I don't know about that. Just say, hey, if this is true and someone is saying death to America, that's wrong. That's all you had to do. Why didn't they do it? Because they didn't want to. That's why. At the very least, they didn't want to. At the very worst. They agree with it. All Abdul Al-Sayed had to do when he was on with Kristen Wilker and said, hey, you know, Hassan Piker says America deserved 9/11. What do you feel about that? All you had to do is say, I don't agree with that. No, we didn't deserve 9/11. How easy is that to say? How easy is that to come out and say? No, 3,000 people didn't deserve to die in the blink of an eye one day. America didn't deserve 9/11. I don't agree with those remarks. How easy would that have been, but he didn't. How easy would it have been for AOC to say, nope, I don't agree with Bernie and the American flag or chanting death to America? I don't know if anybody who supports me is doing that, but if they are, I don't agree with it. How easy would that have been to say she didn't do it because she doesn't want to do it or because she doesn't believe that. Those are the people who are running against and they're spitting in your face. And ordinarily, we get these attacks and we'll talk about it for a day or so and that pain fades. But folks, when it comes to 9/11, it's a lot different. Okay, it's a lot different for me and it should be a lot different for you. I was in fifth grade. I was 10 years old in New York on Long Island. I was a kid. I still had this innocence about me. Yeah, it was stubborn, a little crazy, but now generally a good kid. I didn't get any trouble, whatever. And like the biggest slap in the face. This world ain't innocent. There's some really bad people in it. You know, they tell you don't talk to strangers. This could happen. Don't take candy from this guy. You know, you don't do it. And then that takes a pretty big step up when you're talking about a terrorist attack. I always wanted to go to the top of the World Trade Center buildings, right? My mom told me we were in the city. She would say, now we'll go another day. They'll always be there. Mom, what do you mean the twin towers are gone? They're gone. They collapsed. Our country's being attacked. I'm never going to forget. How could you forget? How? I'm never going to forget the look on her face. I'm never going to forget how I knew something bad was happening because I was being signed out of school, which never happened unless I was like next to death. It's the truth. I'll never forget. And you shouldn't either. Just in time today, say prayer, do a little reflection. Just think about where you were 25 years ago. How much it hurt. Allow yourself to feel that so that you do never forget. And make it a goal of yours in life. Doesn't have to be your life's work. But make it a mission. Make it a mission of yours. To correct the mistruths, the lies, the perversion, the distortion of September 11th. Make it a goal of yours to set the record straight for the folks who might be a little confused about it. And make it known that if someone believes that we deserve that person, a person deserves none of your support ever. That's not acceptable. Lean into patriotism. It's still a good thing to be proud to be American. We just celebrated 250 years of America's existence. And we're celebrating, but we're reflecting on 25 years since the darkest day in our country's history. Never forget. And don't allow others to forget either. I hope everybody has a great weekend.
