And its been a lot of time since 9 11. I dont feel guilt at all. I feel just as angry now as i did backman, if not more so. The wound is so open and fresh, the rates are still there and feels like it was yesterday. I remember it, for fixed memories of that day, a young Secret Service, i was only 26 at the time and in Long Island New York getting ready to serve an arrest warrant, we never serve the arrest warrant. Someone ran in our office and said oh my gosh, a bomb went off in the World Trade Center he was on the phone with our New York office, and office in the World Trade Center on the ninth and tenth. We are all trying to digest the moment, a bomb went off in the World Trade Center . How would this be . A bomb had already gone off their years before that. We didnt find out about the plane until a bit later in my bosses office, we turn on the news, Breaking News and we watched the second plane coming. The agents and i, we took a minute, are we watching a Horror Movie . Is israel . Ill never forget one of the guys in the office with the young agent and he was a navigator in the navy and he said thats not an accident. I float on A Thousand planes, thats not an accident. Drove into our john f. Kennedy office at the Jfk Airport and we had all these agents in the city, The General Assembly was going on, we had hundreds and hundreds of agents so we went through this list trying to track them down and it took hours and hours and hours, we didnt have Cell Phones for the secret Service Backman so we had twoway pagers and went the signals would open up, would get people and check them off and we went down the list and hours into the night as we watched our Office Collapse of the World Trade Center, 5 00 p. M. And it seemed so vivid, i feel like im living in with you all again right now and we checked off the names One By one, think god this guy is alive. There were two names at The End and one Name Left was the guy i worked with in the long Island Office in the Secret Service and i thought i dont and he made it. It turned out he was in nigeria on a criminal case and he called it, he nicked his name is kevin. Isaac kevin, thank god you are alive, he had just heard. There were still one Name Left. He didnt make it. That was rough. Those are real people. I worked as a police officer, 75 precinct and they had a garage next door and in that garage we had Emergency Service and Unit Truck seven, i probably walked by Emergency Service is like our s. W. A. T. Team and we had a Parking Lot in the precinct and Emergency Services Unit Truck seven, they lost two guys, ran into the towers. Those guys were heroes, Everybody Else was running out, they ran in. I think to myself often, kind of haunting, i probably walked by those guys in the Parking Lot 100 times, maybe a couple hundred times, a small Parking Lot but No One will ever buy those guys again. This is tough tonight, im sorry. I thought this would be a little easier but its not. Listen, god has blessed this country, he has. We shouldnt even be here. Theres no chance we beat the British Empire or survive the war of 1812, Civil War but we did. We beat the odds every time. God needs our help, too. Had to get back in the game, me, too. Thinking about what happened today, patient homework is over overcoming adversity. Always. We take the obstacles and trump over the period speaking overcoming adversity, my next guest worked at the pentagon and left his office that day to go to the bathroom just moments before the attack that saved his life. I want to welcome front to the show, State Senator and retired Lieutenant Colonel who joins me now. Senator, you are one of my heroes, i met you in florida in the panhandle about five years ago. I was scheduled to speak after you and it was a disaster because you told your 9 11 story and i sat there and as i always say, its like the pin could have dropped in the room and you could have heard a Contact Lens Drop in the room. Tell us what happened to you at the pentagon that dreadful day. I stepped out to go to the Mens Restroom and for your viewers, the office i had come out the window just to the left on the second floor of the building collapsed in my office was located, i told cheryl and sandy i was going to step up to the restroom, i stepped into the hallway, walkthrough what would be the Crash Site and what would collapse to seven minutes after impact to go up to the fourth quarter were the intersection to go to the Mens Restroom. Took care of business, came out seven or eight steps and im about to turn back into that hallway to walk back to the Crash Site were my desk was, where i window was on flight 77 deliberate Week Crashing to the building at 530 miles an hour with 3000 gallons of Jet Fuel and by the Lords Grace i survived an 80ton Jet hitting 530 miles an hour, i shouldnt be here. I was set ablaze, talk tossed around like a ragdoll, skinned alive and i dont want to be gratuitously graphic to your audience but the best way to describe it i was terribly indisposed, the bulk of my uniform, Class B uniform which is a button up uniform, pant, belt and shoes, most of that was burned away, the belt was still intact, she was intact and as i lay in the Hallway Waiting to die surrendering to the fact this is how i would join the lord in paternity, most my back is burning away, the back of my legs burning away so when i am able to get up using the wall i had been blown up against and shuffled down the hallway, there were chunks of Flesh Hanging off my arms, my ours eyes beginning to swell shut, my Access Badge and nametags on the front of my shirt melted but the front of my shirt is here but i have a burn scar, overwhelming bulk of the back burned away but the front of my shirt is still on me physically burnt to meet with my own Chart Blood on it. My pants were burned, socks above the Shoe Line or burned away and as i staggered down the hallway, im Shoveling And Covid 25, 30 yards in this condition. The hallway filling up with smoke, foreman out of the doors and come across me in my relief of knowing im about to support bank myself to whatever decisions my comrades in arms on my behalf and the exhaustion of covering 25, 30 yards in this condition, i collapsed in front of roy and the haste to move me, this is not a place to carry and wait for medical care to get to me, weve got to move me because the fire is raising and burning into the hallway. They each grabbed a limb and give the first exertion to pick me up but i dont come with them, they pulled chunks off me and i began yelling and screaming to leave me alone and i know im telling them the me there to die. They dont do that. Chuck rolled me over on the lefthand side, its agonizing touching me but the left side of my torso is laying on the floor, he puts his arms underneath me and they grasp each others hands, shaking hands with my Body Weight Resting on their connected arms and carried me into the hallway and i received my first medical care by hasty triage site. John baxter, Doctor Baxter took my shoes off to be able to administer Morphine And Iv, the only place that has clean flesh was the top of my feet protected by the shoes and he puts morphine in the right foot, iv in the left and a wonderful woman from the navy yells down beside me and i have my mental about and not my physical. I was traveling and Couldnt Control it. We say the lords prayer, she reads the 91st Psalm over me. Doctor baxter is done with what hes doing to get the Morphine And Iv in me and shortly they put me on a Body Board and amulets and take me out to the parking and i get to georgetown eventually and the University Hospital so while the lord answered the question of Life Or Death in the building, the question of Life Or Death that day was get answered. When i get inside the er, Doctor Williams comes to the left hand side, the attending physician is that we are going to do the best we possibly can for you. I have to do two things from my breathing is already difficult and vibrant because of the inhalation injury, ive got drunk coming out of me. The Emergency Room smells like a Gas Station because of the Jet Fuel and things that burned away in meat and saturated me i asked two things, Wedding Ring to be taken off my finger in my hands look like five black and hotdogs from a burnt steak called a hand, the nurse gives a slight tug and gloves the finger, i dont recall it hurting because of the morphine he had given me but because of a death i know im dying in the symbolism of a Riding Ring and i asked the chaplain, she let a simple player lord, if you brought me here under the care of the great Physician And Doctor Williams Team and i survive, well salute with the mission to move out if you brought me here under the Care And Compassion for fellow americans and you called the into eternity, well salute that flight, to ms the beginning of a very difficult Process Mail and met in the emotional agony they saw watching me endure this, the physical agony we endured just being a Burn Survivor is not enough but what it does medically to you to survive and recover from it is worse than the Burn Injury itself and ultimately four years later i reached max medical improvement so im not the 6 milliondollar man but the 2. 4 and the lord has been gracious and here we are 20 years later and we have seen things together with Mel And Matt we thought she would see as a widow and the lord has been gracious the best way to say it you want i talked for a living and i just want to say one last thing before we go. You said to me my radio show, i asked you about unimaginable pain he went to recover. He said to me, its a major price of freedom so thank you for your sacrifice to this country, you are a good friend. Thank you, sir. A nice treat to be with you, thank you, sir. Dan god bless. Dan take a deep breath. America will never back down to anyone. Patriotic message sent by athletes. Coming up next. Little Need Something different. Oh, we can help with that. Okay, imagine this.

With at t business, you can pick the best plan for each employee and get the best deals on every smartphone. Welcome back to unfiltered. Today we remember thousands of lives stolen from us. Twenty years ago. Savage animals hijacked four planes and attacked our country. Joining me now, my friend and get a sense for ephedrine, box front cohost. Thank you for taking the time, appreciate it. Pete, i know you and i have been friends for a while, weve had a lot of conversations on and off camera but i dont feel like but he banged up today. I dont feel like this is optimistic or anything joyous, i dont have words of wisdom. I feel really angry and enraged and like im a part ready to boil over and i know you must feel the same way. I feel the same way and thank you for what you said at the opening of your show and we covid a lot of the events as they were happening. First, i do walk away every time, inspired. The story you shared, the story of the firefighters and Police Officers facing certain death. The story of Flight 93 and Brave Americans who gave their lives in the opening of the war against this. 9 11 for all of its horrors is inspiration but then the other two words that come to mind is introspective and absolutely inferior. Introspective about whether or not america today could muster what we mustered then. Whether or not we believe in our nation enough to be the people we were 20 years ago, unite the way we did briefly. Against an enemy, introspective where we are and maybe today is not the day for that, i dont think it is but my mind still goes there. Im infuriated that this was done to our people, to our country, im grateful we hunted down a lot of the people responsible for but that is the peace i feel like im missing. Im always frustrated, inspired when i think about the events of 9 11 but the Rage And Anger that comes to the surface when you see the images again, the cowardice committed on innocent civilians on our soil, im grateful for those who took the fight to them and again on the front, of course i dwell on the fact 20 years later folks in charge on that day in the Dirt On Afghanistan make another generation of americans stand ready should we ever have to do this again but im with you, today especially 20 years, it had me thinking about who we are as a nation. Dan i had a bunch of topics that im just going to do my own thing. The show is unfiltered and live so is that okay with you . I am angry and i watched you this morning and i watched that 21 minutes you played and i watched when you came back on fox and friends, Fox Place every year for 21 minutes of coverage from 11 you looked at Will And Rachel looked at Will And Rachel looked at you and you looked at rachel Theres Nothing to say. I hate to say it, i am a christian, a believer in Jesus Christ and i always said love your enemies, i dont love them today. I want to kick someone. I really do. I know its not right, i understand that but the sense of revenge is that. Im watching coverage all day, these People Covid in white dust that day, people putting water in looking around with that stairs like what happened . The pot was boiling over like this happened yesterday. I dont know, i know its not right. No, there was no words in that moment. I had the exact same feeling and first i have to think about the amazing work over two decades so many people committed in order to get retribution for those event. A lot didnt come home because they said we will raise our hands and serve our nation to go Do Something but what more infuriating is our memory is often so short we are not prepared to do whats next. The war after 9 11 was often dubbed long poor. Our enemy still has that view, our enemy is still out there and we have fundamentally unserious leaders a fundamentally unserious culture. Oftentimes it doesnt reinforce the things we should value and thats what ticks me off. Youre going to need to kill more bad guys in the future and we better be ready. Those images of those people on that day sticks in our mind every single day. I pray they do. Dan thank you for taking the time. Watch Pete Tomorrow on fox and friends, you handled it so wonderfully this morning given all you had to deal with. Thanks, brother.

Dan dan welcome back to unfiltered. Twenty years ago, a lot of lives were lost. September 11 and the tear that day, some of them are lucky enough to make it out. Now we share stories of some of the heroes that day so none of us forget. Here to tell the story is my friend, former secret Service Agent, don. Thank you for taking the time to join me, its good to see you again. Great to see you, thanks for having me. I appreciate you and your team coming to meet me. I was a Guest Speaker Today in pennsylvania so i appreciate you coming to see me. Dan how we met, i think the audience should know, ive known you for a long time. The new York Field office, who were agents but i was touched, you are not a very chatty guy but what happened on 9 11 was traumatic. When the as an instructor in the economy into a gracious enough to come talk to one of my classes in utah story of what happened to your 9 11. Ive known you for a long time, ive never heard the story and i looked up from my watch and 25 minutes had gOne By like it was nothing. Our audience needs to hear this. I appreciate you running this because we should never forget. I was in the New York office, we had heard the explosion as we all did, we were told to evacuate so we moved down The Street for the l. A. Between the World Trade Center and when we got out to the site, who looked up at the building and you knew that it was something totally out of the ordinary and not normal and there would be wounded People Self we are incredibly well trained medically so we grabbed our medical kits and moved to West Street because we thought there would be a lot of wounded people so we should get out there and put it to good use. We get to West Street, there were a few wounded, some people had cuts and burns, fuel had fallen and people were burned badly so we started render medical care. Myself and up another agent moved across West Street and found a woman badly burned, brought to an ambulance and moved back to West Street and by the time we got back over there, unfortunately there were people who had no other choice but to jump so there were people falling and we got pinned under a Fire Truck, fortunately environment was killed right in front of us. Once we thought it was clear, we came out from under the Fire Truck and at that time your Human Instinct is, its time to go. Weve got to leave but at that time originally, i had just gotten off active duty in the court in my Marine Corps conscious set its time to go to work it was time to go to work so Agent Buckley and iran into the tower looking for anybody wounded we could help. We worked our way up to the 27th Floor looking for anybody wounded but people were just moving down the stairwell. We got up to the 27th Floor, there was a gentleman paralyzed in a wheelchair who did not want to come down, he was very nervous. We were talking with the firemen and crew, the firemen were staged waiting for orders there. The Fire Captain and lieutenant said to me lets take him down when this is over so i said hey, you got it, well go up a couple more floors make sure No One is still on the floor. Unfortunately that judgment and his Best Friend and the firemen did not make it. John and i continued up to the 44th Floor where we were clearing the floor down making sure No One was hiding under their desk or staying behind. We pushed the stairwell completely so it was clear and i had just advanced a week before from a detective assignment, the World Trade Center, i knew the floorplan very well. While i was in the air, who are entering people getting up the stairwell down onto West Street and when he looked onto the platform, it looked like a war zone. Ive never seen anything like that In My Life. Pieces of plain, pieces of people, the most horrible site ive ever seen In My Life. There was a lot of frontage and ladies were passing out when they looked over. They walked out because it was so horrible. We made sure stairwell was completely empty and we started to talk to some of the Police Officers and then we heard the loudest rumble ive ever heard In My Life and you get what i call happy feet and you look to your left and right you didnt know what to do. We didnt realize that it was the South Tower falling and we were in the area of the North Tower and debris started coming through the big windows, started coming at us and everything seemed to be in slow motion. We ran into the corner of the northwest corner of the North Tower and it basically took a knee i wish i could tell you i said something really profound but i just said i hope it doesnt hurt and those of gentlemen between john and i randomly, that gentleman was healed or we couldnt see because everything went black, the building crumbled and that judgment was severely it got a little pandemonium, it was completely dark, nobody knew what happened, we didnt know the South Tower had fallen so debate ensued where to go and in that moment i said marie and me has to take over so i let some people out to West Street and thats where you saw me grab that woman after got people behind me and put her in the ambulance. Dan it is an honor to know you and John Buckley both went to call you friends and i want to thank you from the bottom of my heart to share your story with the entire nation tonight. We all need to hear it. Thanks a lot. My pleasure, thank you for having me. Dan Coming Up Next on unfiltered, 20 years after the 9 11 attacks, could it happen again . I hope so. Thats next. Welcome back to unfiltered 9 11 changed our lives forever. Also changed in the u. S. To fight terrorism here and around the world. Put another Terror Attack happens . Joining me now, retired Army General and Fox News printers are. Thank you for joining me. Appreciate you taking the time. Thanks for having me and i want to thank you for your service in the Secret Service my four years in the White House i was with the Vice President and especially uniform sufficient especially last year so i want to thank you on this special day. Dan thank you, thats humbling. I wanted to have you on today, obviously military, we all know its public records after the 9 11 report from a lot of the things that went wrong our infrastructure, we were prepared. Communications didnt work on Air Force one but one thing i found disturbing, the faa could not communicate, Norads Picture was focused on an attack from overseas, there radar picture. The faa had domestic air picture, they couldnt communicate. They had different terminology, it was a mess that day and it took a long time for us to unscrew things. Another thing, we didnt have enough f16s on the ground domestically to defend their airspace. Im not asking you to give up any secrets but your time in the trump administration, you feel like we are doing a better job and more prepared now . We are much better prepared. On 9 11, i was director in the pentagon on the other side of the pentagon when American Airline 77, i was in the national which i Command Center when the building was on fire sitting between myers, Vice Chairman because the chairman was an authentic heading for the United Kingdom that day. It comes back and i member all that was going on at the same time talking directly to Vice President cheney and bryce the president ial bunker, tracking all at that time, Air Force one didnt have nuclear conductivity like it does now. A shadow 747 to move him over for nuclear conductivity. We didnt have it at the time. After 9 11, they put together a commission internally so we started to upgrade all that we had in the pentagon but also the first week after 9 11, the Fbi Building because thats where the national Command Center for countering with the Terrorist Incident going forward. I sat behind the Army Guy for the military and said how do you communicate with everybody . He looked at me and said really well. He picked up a yellow sticky stuck on the Guys Computer and says thats how we talk. We couldnt even talk to each other. You have the same clearance i do or the same conscious as i do so we went through a lot of work getting the systems working together. To have the ability to find out that her columns, we had better conductivity developed over the years. Dhs, department of Homeland Security Close not around 9 11, it was formed after 9 11 so that brought conductivity together as well and then fast forward until now it its a lot better than it was before because of the hard work of a lot of good people. Dan thank you for joining us, its refreshing to hear. I knew he would have great insight on that. Thanks for taking the time. Appreciate it. Dan coming up on unfiltered, sometimes sports is more than just a game. 2001 World Series dollars later back game. He joins the show to talk about the iconic one. Coming up next. Welcome back to unfiltered. Twenty years after the 9 11 attacks we remember what quickly became one of the most iconic moments history. Fortynine days after the attacks, president george w. Bush wearing bulletproof vest, walked up to the Yankee Stadium on the first Pitch Game three in 2001 World Series. Take a look. [cheering] president of the united states. [cheering] dan i was there for that as a young secret Service Agent back in the day. What a moment it was. Joining me now, a better view than i did. Iconic moment of his own, luis gonzalez. Thank you for joining me, appreciate it. Thanks for having me, appreciate it. Dan you are playing and i came, One Of The Best World Series in major league ball history. Game three, i think your up to nothing, a great Pitching Staff that year. Im out right field working, i get hit about a bad practice and it comes right to me so i catch it and i wanted to keep it so back as a 5yearold Kid next to me and i had to give it to the kid. So what does it look like with you throwing the pitch from your perspective in the dugout . A funny way of bringing people together, and incredible american moment for us, iconic when he threw the first pitch, everybody in the stadium had goosebumps knowing when he gave a thumbs up signal at a perfect strike to the plate and fans chanting usa, usa was an unbelievable feeling. Dan meet and you are friends, i have a ton of respect but you did break my heart a little bit, i was a Yankees Fan and you have this incredible moment, game seven, i am watching this on the couch, i had just met my wife, we were dating a week earlier in the yankees, they are going to pull off gonzalez up at the plate and what does it feel like . Are you nervous at all . You win the game, diamondbacks win the World Series, what were you thinking by the fourth that pitch comes in . I tell you, you are facing the best reliever in the history of the game with rivera, just trying to get the ball and play get the runner and from third period ill tell you, the whole World Series from us winning games one and two and then three, four and five in New York city, the way it happened but the dramatic homeruns and things like that, its a storybook World Series the way it happened. For us, being able to win the World Series, i dont bring the World Series very often but for us, its meaningful on the outside but just as meaningful on the inside because we inscribed on the inside 9 11 zero one, never forget. We knew how important the series was to a lot of people out there. Dan i read a story some of the diamondbacks members made your way down to Ground Zero to thank the first responders. I thought that was tremendous you thought to do that. I think for us it was important to let people know every athlete plays to try to get into a Championship Game and went World Series or super bowl, whatever it might be but we wanted to pay our respects. There is a lot of innocent people who lost their lives out there for us, it is important to go out there and go to Ground Zero and say thank you to the first responders and the people because when we run from trouble, they are running into trouble so we felt like it was the right thing to do for us to go out there and these were the biggest games of our Life But Something was much more important than the game of baseball at the time. Dan one last question on a lighter note, a tough game for us, obviously 20 years, as mean as it looked on television, that think looked vicious when it came out of his hands. It was and i tell people sometimes its better to be lucky than good sometimes so i was lucky enough to get the ball just far enough over his head to get it in the outfield to win the World Series. Dan you are a good man and even though my team lost that day, i think Team America one. Even if we lost, we got back to baseball, good, bad or indifferent and we start to think about the victims and everything that happened but ultimately it had to come on So Thanks For Playing A Role in thanks for coming on tonight. Thanks for having me. Dan coming up on unfiltered, my biggest fight yet in the show during the break. [laughter] sorry, a lighter note. Its been a rough day. Trust me, youre not going to want to miss this one. Books, along so times during the commercial break, things happen. Last week, i have battle during the break. Parental morning, this is gruesome violence you are about to see. Check this out. This little thing you see that here he is, i tell you, hes mocking me right now. Hes like loser he is. Hes a far left life. They breed like rabbits and you cant get rid of them. Ive tried everything, im ready to fumigate the whole house with chemicals just to kill these things to prove some points. There flipping you the middle finger. I just got to find this im telling you, hes mocking me. This happens all the time, i do it all day. Dan these river gnats, they get in the studio and drive me crazy. If you watch my podcast, these battles go on all the time. We took a poll on instagram and said what you think won this battle . 71 than i did. Lets see if youre right. Here is the big reveal. Got him. I got that little nice. [laughter] dan i outweighed him by 236 pounds. It was an unfair fight. Last time i checked, we were a constitutional republic. Each bit of freedom is whittled away they tell us not to worry. I am worried. The video went viral on Tik Tok what started as 15 days to slow the spread turned into a whole lot longer than that. Freedom isnt just something. Its everything. Speaking of freedom, i would you briefly give you my take on nine 12. I felt more optimistic tone, i wanted to give you a message about nine 12 and the day after how we were all told theres more together that then tears us apart. Not sure i felt that way anymore. Sorry but theres only one thing that whines us together and thats freedom. And for love of freedom and the willingness to sacrifice for freedom. If youre not willing to do that, you are on the wrong team. Before we got to get, you can stream i show, simulcast on my radio show. Weekdays 12 00 p. M. That is it for us tonight on unfiltered. See you back here next saturday 10 00 p. M. , folks, please remember freedom, it matters. Its worth fighting for. This country was given to you as a gift, theres no giving up. Its not an option. Its not a golf game. If you quit, the other guys still punch. This place is worth fighting for. Its a gift. Its not yours to give up. Thanks again.
