The people you work with, the people you care about, people you love. Youve been patient. But our patience is wearing thin and refusal has cost all of us. So please do the right thing. Maria look over here, not over there at the massive blunder in afghanistan. 13 military heroes dead, a nation still mourning. 20 years after the worst attack on our country. So who is accountable and will any Heads Roll . Coming up Antony Blinken on the Hot Seat tomorrow, testifying and the first republican to question him is here with us this morning. Texas congressman Michael Mccaul, the ranking member on the foreign Affairs Committee gears up. Ramifications of shutting down Bagram Airbase as china looks to move in. Plus the call that No One is talking about. Joe biden and Xi Xinping, on the phone for 90 minutes this week but the origins Of Covid did not come up. Florida Congressman Michael Waltz, the first Green Beret ever elected to congress, a veteran of the war in afghanistan, assesses the China Threat and the new government in afghanistan. Then lieutenant Colonel Oliver North is here with Breaking News on the wannabe terrorists on the flight back into afghanistan. His analysis on the consequences to come.

Coming up, the 2022 elections, can the republicans take back the majority . Famed Football Star Herschel walker on Georgia Senate seats up for grabs, whether outsiders like himself and Larry Elder in california can make the difference. All right Here And Now on Sunday Morning futures. Maria but first not the headlines he was looking for. We are mourning 13 servicemembers lost in afghanistan as well as the nearly 3,000 americans killed 20 years ago on this weekend, september 11th, as america questions Joe Bidens decisions as commanderinchief, including afghan veteran, now Florida Congressman brian mast, a afghan War Vet on this program two weeks ago. It is bagram, it is the embassy, it is every other place because their mantra was withdrawal at any price because of political optics. Reach that 9 11 as strategic objective, the 9 11 ceremony they can have a celebration to make it, they accomplished something political to get out, not a strategic objective making america safer, getting our citizens out alive, making our servicemembers in a safer world that they go out to conduct their operations, making our homeland safer. No strategic objectives met. There are only strategy was to say how you make things politically better on i opticab. Maria joining my now Texas Congressman Michael Mccaul, ranking member of the and Florida Congressman michael waltz, the first Green Beret ever elected to congress a veteran of afghanistan. Gentlemen, thanks for being here. Thanks, maria. Maria michael waltz, let me kick it off with you, as a Green Beret, 20 years later after september 11th. How do you assess the situation right now . Maria i spent 9 11 with a bunch of Green Berets, firstresponders, fdny, at Ground Zero and you know of course we were reflecting on so much sacrifice and the loss that we endured as a country but instead of just being able to focus on that, there was this cloud over everyone because we know now that at some point we are on a path for another 9 11, that the biden administration through this recklessing with the drawl, through taking out all troops, all diplomats, all our Intelligence Capability and right now leaving americans behind, a next generation will have to go back to deal with it. We are on a road to future attacks. The same team that is around biden was around obama. They yanked us out of iraq and led to the rise of the isis caliphate. I think youre going to see that in the next year with Al Qaeda 3. 0 partnered with haqqani and the taliban except this time, when the next generation has to go back to deal with it, they will have no bases. We have given them away. No local allies. Theyre being massacred by the taliban as we speak. Well have to deal with an Armys Worth of american equipment that the taliban now has. It is just heartbreaking and infuriating. Maria so disturbing and Michael Mccaul, we want to show this video that i know came from your office. This is video of the taliban looking through some of the things that were Left Behind like the weapons. 86 Billion worth of armament as well as cash. I want to get your take on what this cash is that theyre looking at. Did we pay the taliban for something . Why are there all the pallets of cash all long with u. S. Guns and armament the u. S. Left behind in the Cut And Run from afghanistan . It is a cachet of weapons and Left Behind for the Afghan Army and pallets of cash. The Intelligence Community got this one right. They predicted thedown thedown fall of the Afghan Army. And this would be Left Behind along with american citizens and interpreters is unconscionable. Now as mike said, they have, theyre the most heavily armed Terrorist Organization in the world now along with these pallets of cash that youre looking at. The sad thing is, courtesy of uncle sam. I mean, this is what infur rates me. There was no plan from the beginning. All of this was Left Behind for the taliban. What infuriates me even more the american citizens Left Behind, the interpreters who fought with our Special Forces Left Behind. Theyre being executed as i speak right now and then finally no plan for an Intelligence Isr Capability in the region. We are dark in afghanistan, were also dark when it comes to russia, china and iran. Maria this is a really important point that youre making, Congressman Mccaul. And i want to show the map of the Bagram Airbase because we know and we pointed this out in the program the distance between this Airbase And China is so small, miles, yards. And that is the distance between the airbase and the Xinjiang Province where the ccp is Enslaving Uyghur minorities as well as a few hundred miles away from the nuclear facility where china is expanding its nuclear armament and facilities there. Michael mccaul, tell us about the back ram airbase, the monumental mistake of going dark . There is Breaking News that youre going to share with us about putin pressuring biden to close the airbase . I would not be surprised if Xi Xinping said get the airbase out of here so that america would not have eyes and ears in this part of the world . Your thoughts . Well the reason why it is so important it is because it is a national Security Asset for the united states or it was until the taliban took it over. This provided eyes and ears, not only in afghanistan but russia, china and iran, our adversaries. They are now emboldened. We cant see, were going dark now. That is a very dangerous. The administration talks about over the horizon capability. This is six, eight hours away in qatar, u. A. E. Bagram, the loss of Bagram I Cant emphasize how destructive this is. Maria im getting reports now that the chinese, as they met with the taliban in late july are negotiating not only for the Rare Earth minerals but also they want access to that base. The idea that china is going to get access to Bagram Airbase and then finally to your point, reporting that putin, the president of russia, dictating to the president of the united states where he can build Intelligence Capability in the region, basically threatening him that he could not build that in what is called the stands, the region around afghanistan. Maria michael waltz, your thoughts on this. We talked a couple weeks ago when you joined me about the importance of the Bagram Airbase. Tell me about the ramifications long term. What a Black Eye if ccp moves into Bagram Airbase. I will have Oliver North up in a few minutes. He talks about the technology there. There are more sensors there than the whole island of manhattan. Your thoughts . Colonel north was right, it was the epicenter of our efforts the last 20 years. Every soldier that came in and left flowed through Bagram Airbase. We had important intelligence capabilities and sensors that could see in the region. I wrote an oped and sent a letter to the biden administration and asked secretary of Defense Austin directly during a hearing months ago why we would give away the only base in the world that we have that physically borders china and its backdoor and also sandwiched between Russia And Iran . It is a 12,000foot runway, maria. If you want to get beijings attention, if things start going south in Taiwan Or South china sea, put azelate bomber at bagram their backdoor, which is 100 miles away from their new ballistic missile fields. As you mentioned the uyghurs, the only thing beijing cares about the most is an uprising from its own people but things like its major Semiconductor Factories and other critical infrastructure we could have held at risk, even had eyes and ears into from that base but there is another critical piece too and thats india. I think it is one of our most critical strategic alliances in the 21st century. The worlds largest democracy and very concerned about the ccp. Guess what . China has a new ally with india with the axis from china, pakistan to the taliban. We left our allies high and dry. We are blind in the region. There is not a single country in the region as representative mccaul mentioned that have agreed to allow our Counterterrorism Forces to base around afghanistan. So we are in a horrible position and it is all of our own making. This is a of bidens own making. It is a strategic blunder of historic, historic proportions. This is so disturbing. Well slip in a short break, but Michael Mccaul, i want to get your take what is most important when you question Antony Blinken tomorrow. Michael waltz, i want to get your take on the government of afghanistan. They wanted to do the Swearingin Ceremony Yesterday on september 11th. They pushed the inauguration off a couple days. Well take a look at who the government really is. Congressman Mike Walls and Michael Mccaul after this. Are we still exclusive . Absolutely. And thats exactly why you should join. Are we still exclusive . Absolutely. Life is full of unexpected surprises. For your first day of school. But other times, it helps knowing what to expect.

Maria welcome back. Were back with Congressman Michael Waltz from florida and Michael Mccaul from texas, and Congressman Mccaul, you will be questioning Antony Blinken Tomorrow Morning when he testifies in front of your committee. Can you tell us a bit what you would like to it hear from him . Yeah, i want to hear from him, why did this go so bad . How did he bet it so wrong . Why didnt he listen to the Intelligence Community warnings since april and may of this last year telling us, telling me, that the taliban was going to take over, the Afghan Army was going to fall and the embassy would be in trouble . Instead they listened to you know, the special envoy, this Rosie Dream they were somehow going to negotiate a last Minute Deal with the taliban was absolutely fantasy world. It was like a Yale Faculty Lounge rather than a war on the ground. I want to know why he left american citizens behind. Why did the military evacuate before american citizens . I want to know why our interpreters who put their lives on the lines and fought with our Special Forces, why were they Left Behind and is, as Mike Waltz said being executed as i speak in front of their families . And then finally i want to know why, why are we not building this Isr Capability . What happened there . I had an oped with Ambassador Crocker in The New York Times in may warning the administration if youre going to not leave a light footprint, if youre not going to leave a residual force, at least start evacuating citizens, the interpreters and establish this Intelligence Capability. They failed on all three counts. And now were in a far more dangerous situation. Maria so, and just to be clear for our audience who may not know, isr, intelligence strategic reconnaissance, is that right, isr . And that means that we have none of it. We dont have anymore intelligence. We dont have anymore recog nance abilities given the tact we closed down bagram. As you said earlier we are dark. Michael waltz, your thoughts on that, and the fact that afghanistan now has started a new government. I want to run a Sound Bite of the taliban when they were asked about women, how come there are no women in government. Watch this. You tweeted it. [speaking in native tongue] [speaking in native tongue] maria arent Women Half of this society . We dont consider them half. Please assess for us, michael walls, the new government in afghanistan. When is the administration going to let go of this fiction of hoping that we have an inclusive diverse government coming from the taliban, right . When are they going to let this go. Biden and blinken say well judge by their actions. Lets look at their actions. Look at the beats, killings of journalists covering protests of women, told you cant go to work, you cant go to university. That taliban spokesman asked why are we not seeing women as ministers, he basically said they cant handle it and need to stay at home and have babies. That is literally what the taliban spokesman said. Here we have the democrats defenders of minorities and womens rights, theyre silent, theyre engaging with a terrorist regime, oh, by the way now the head of the Police And Border enforcement, deciding who can Come And Go is a terrorist by the name of Haqqani On the fbis mostwanted list i personally tried to kill on multiple occasions, that is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of americans and is holding an american hostage right now as we speak, Navy Veteran Mark ferics. That is who biden administration is engaging. Our allies who want to fight an stand with us are suffering a genocide in panjshir valley. The taliban are pulling out young boys and killing them so no future generation can ever resist their rule. Theyre all partnered with Al Qaeda. Maria really . Al qaeda is going to come roaring back. The intelligence on that is very clear. Maria so disturbing. Michael mccaul, last word from you, because i did want to get some Breaking News in on the origins Of Covid. You did a great job with your reporting on all the Circumstantial Evidence but tell me what else you have here. We know china wants trillion dollars of Rare Earth minerals in afghanistan, they want to get in there, but there is also news they will not, they will not acknowledge the origins Of Covid. What did you learn in terms of the Grant Applications that you were telling me about this weekend . This new information has come out with a Foia Request. The Grant Applications that went to the nih, basically indicated it was for gain of Function Research which is genetic modification. This is not a naturally occurring virus, maria. This is a manmade genetically modified virus and the Grant Applications that i was denied access to, that we got through a Foia Request now actually prove that what was going on at the lab was feign of function. And the worst thing, maria, it was done through ecohealth. Peter daszak got 30. 1 million from the nih. Maria unbelievable. 600,000 going to the Wuhan Lab and our Intelligence Community didnt even talk about it in their report. Maria and then we have to ask the question, was it an accident or not given all of these revelations . Thank you so much, gentlemen, for your work. We so appreciate it. Well be right back.

With regard to the composition of this government or interim government i noted the fact that it certainly does not meet the test of inclusivety and it includes people who, have very challenging track records. Maria challenging track records. Will inclusivety . That was u. S. Secretary of state Antony Blinken admitting that the new taliban government which the biden administration relied on to evacuate americans from afghanistan after kabuls fall may not be trustworthy after all. My next guest says the White House knew this all along and has been lying to the american people. Joining me right now is lieutenant Colonel Oliver North. He is a decorated Military Veteran who was embedded with 66 different units over 17 years. It is an honor to have you here this morning, sir. Thank you very much for being here. Colonel north. Maria, good to be with you. Wonderful interview you just did with have two very important people. Maria thank you so much, sir. You are in touch with the national Resistance Front in afghanistan. I want to ask you what are your thoughts what is going on now . What can you tell us about new information, u. S. Citizens, allies, being held hostage . I know, sir, we just didnt leave americans on the ground in afghanistan, we left brits, ukrainians, europeans, other allies that helped us along the way for 20 years. I spent, maria, yesterday when you and i talked with veterans of this war, Gold Star families, those who had been there when this whole incredibly aborted operation took Place And Everybody wants one thing and thats accountability. Hopefully there will be accountability as why they gave away bagram, one of the best Military Bases in the world. In fact i know the engineer who built it. The russians started it, we finished it. It was one of the finest military operations, installations in the world. There was intelligence collection, there was a main base, easily defended, all the kinds of surveillance you need to protect it with a relative modest number of troops. Why did they give it away . It wasnt taken by the taliban. It was given to the taliban. You showed some footage of the cash left there, 84 Billion worth of weapons, most of which were stored at bagram. All of that Left Behind, none of it destroyed. When you look at that cache we gave to the taliban, it is not just taliban but isis, Al Qaeda, at this minute theyre sitting in the president ial palace in Downtown Kabul going through information the gru from russia and Communist Chinese Intelligence Service is helping to collect on targeting those who are our allies. As you pointed out we still have nato allies with people Left Behind. The promise was at the very beginning of this, no americans Left Behind. It was a blatant lie. There is so much anger out there, you know today is sunday. The lords prayer, said forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Well im not there yet and neither are they want accountability and when blinken goes up to the Capitol Tomorrow, the Building Right behind me, when he comes up to the Capitol Tomorrow i hope Congressman Mccaul and people like Mike Waltz, let me just very quickly describe, im on the phone with Mike Waltz. Im on the other phone with a u. S. Army Lieutenant Colonel inside the wall at Hamid Karzai International Airport and were trying to get a group of about 160 american citizens, green cardholders and sivs, people hold a special immigrant visa. They worked with us over the 20 years. And it is right outside. The Lieutenant Colonel says if i could reach through this gate i can touch the bus theyre on. Mike and i were on the phone. He called the White House. Mike got the White House General Counsel i talked to the president. It will be open. Five minutes later there is one of these phony calls that there is going to be an imminent attack, everybody spread out, get away from the gates. That kind of thing happened dozens of time. It wasnt the real attack. In fact the real attack that killed last 13 americans killed in this long war, had no warning coming for it. That is the kind of thing happened repeatedly throughout this. They wanted accountability, the families, Gold Star families all of them deserve accountability. Maria absolutely. They sure do. Theyre in our prayers every day. What about, what about these flights going out of afghanistan . It was so disgusting to see Antony Blinken in that Press Conference recently tell us that the taliban is stopping the flights from leaving because they dont have the right documentation. Are you kidding me . And now he says the two flights have gone but you and i spoke this weekend about who is on those flights going back into afghanistan. Are these wannabe terrorists . Well, remember were being told by the State Department and by blinken himself that there is americans being rescued coming out on those flights and flying to doha qatar. In fact you see the airplanes flying off of the airfield. By the way we dont have any american correspondents left on the ground. There is nobody of ours, for example, fox news, like we spent, i spent 17 years coming and going out of this place. If those flights had americans on them, who were they and what are their names . We have yet to hear anybody who was on one of those flights. Many of us suspect well get at some point the socalled businesslike taliban are going to give us the names of people who they sent out who are going to be call it, stockholm syndrome. They will say nice things about the taliban, nice things about how the State Department got them out. There are over hundreds, hundreds of americans left on the ground inside of afghanistan. We dont know all their names. We dont know all of them. They keep saying if they wanted to get out they could have gotten out. That is not true. There were americans around the gates of Hamid Karzai International Airport who could not get out, still trying to get out. Folks on the ground there. Will incredibly brave, many former veterans from afghanistan trying to get out of the country. Maria colonel, only a few seconds. Tell me about china. Are they negotiating a status of Forces Treatment to acquire bagram . You said bagram has more sensors, so technologically advanced, more sensors than the entire island of manhattan. Very quick . Very true. They have a copy of the status of Forces Agreement, sofa, with the previous government. All they did have to change the words u. S. , put prc, they have a status of Forces Agreement with the best base in the world. Maria colonel, thank you so much. Colonel, you have to come back very soon. We need to continue this conversation. Colonel Oliver North. Well be right back. Andrea you see things as a parent what your expectations are for your kid growing up, the milestones going to school, graduating and getting married, having kids. And cancer was never one of those milestones in my head. St. Jude has given us hope, love, a home away from home. And it feels like home. Youre more than just a patient or just another family here at st. Jude. It takes 50 plus one vote to get this guy out. A third of all those who signed petition get him out were independents and democrats who voted for him two years earlier. The majority of hispanics wanted him out. Lions share of hispanics voted him in two years earlier. Independents want him out. You add it all up many californians want this man to go. I believe september 14th, he will be out of here. Maria all right, september 14th, the upcoming tuesday, that was gubernatorial frontrunner Larry Elder on with us this program last month. Before this weeks disgusting stint of nearly getting egged by a white woman wearing a Gorilla Mask who also assaulted one ever Elders Security men, look at that, she punches hip in the face. You havent seen or heard any of this on the mainstream media. A white woman with a Gorilla Mask assaulting Larry Elder and his team. My next guest is also a firsttime candidate, football legend, herschel walker, launched a u. S. Senate Run In Georgia Against democrat rafael warnock. According to a new Trafalgar Group Poll he is leading the gop Primary Field by 70 . He joins me right now. Herschel, great to have you. Thanks for being with us. Talk with you about your campaign in a moment. Give us your reaction to what you saw, that incident in california this Week And Recall vote Coming Up tuesday . Well you know that video is very disgusting. You know the people of california, they feel the governor is not doing his job they have the right to do a recall and to have this young woman to do something like that and then assault the Security Guard and nothing be done. And the left do not say anything about it. It shows intolerance that they have because of that was reversed, that was a democrat that was being assaulted like that, you just think what would have happened. I think something needs to happen. That is one reason we have to have Law And Order for all people, not just one side of the people, Law And Order for all people. Otherwise we dont have a country. The left is being intolerant, that is the reason i decided to run because of that. Maria well i mean, look, you know, this, this video, and this incident does not fit with Joe Bidens narrative, that we are all systemic racist. This is white woman assaulting a black man. You dont see it on the news. You dont see it because it doesnt fit in with what Joe Biden is telling us. Here is an oped from James Freeman in the Wall Street Journal we live in a age of Career Cancellations over politically incorrect language and perceived microaggressions. There is that Larry Elder about one who is allowed to say anything. Even an attempt to physically assault without much fear of media condemnation. Herschel, i wonder, do you believe you will get a fair shot . Larry elder is obviously not getting a fair shot. Will you get one . Well, i think that is one of the things that we have to think about. One thing they have done here in georgia right now, they passed a couple laws i think will help me get a fair shot but at the same time were going to have to keep an eye on everything. We got to be vigilant and people have no know what is going on. That is one reason i said i needed to run because we spot to put trust back in our government and our Government Officials. Right now the rate of untrust in our Government Officials is very low and i know that is what we have to do. We have to stand for to give the people right to vote, that is one of the most privileged things to have. I will fight right now that im going to get a fair legislation and i think it is going to happen. Maria you know, President Trump gave you his quote, complete and total endorsement. I know he has been encouraging you to run for a long time. Last week he said he gave you complete endorsement, total. What role did he play in convincing you to run . And are you surprised that despite of these crises in the country right now from afghanistan to wide open border to now these new mandates that were all having to follow and rules Joe Biden is putting in place, he is dropping everything and going to campaign for Gavin Newsom as is Kamala Harris . Well you know, i think so much of the president giving his total endorsement because i tell you what, that was a, i really want to say thank you President Trump for your endorsement. The people of georgia know i needed that endorsement but they also know herschel will be running this campaign. Herschel will get out. I will fight for the people and one of the things i want people to know, this is what im going to do. I will go out to try to bring some Integrity And Fight to the state of the georgia. I represent the state of georgia. They will see i will fight for them. I saw, i need to say this, i have a democratic neighbor who came up to me with a letter that they had gotten that was talking about senators running against trumps chosen one and they wanted to raise money. They couldnt name the Name Herschel im a uniter. Im not separating people the way they have been doing. I will fight for the people. I will encourage people to go to teamherschel. Com. To help me fight for you. We have to do together is bring people back together. Maria im glad that you mentioned how much support you have. Today is 40th, The 40th Anniversary of the 1980 national championship for the university of georgia. We love looking at you with the video from the university of georgia. You have a lot of support in georgia. As you look at that, tell us the priorities right now . What is the main platform that you are running on, what do you want to change once you get the seat in the senate . First of all i think the main platform is bring some integrity, bring honesty back to this country, to the state of georgia because i believe in the goals, goals that everyone should believe in. Everyone should have Law And Order for all people, but not just for certain people but for all people. I believe in supporting our military what we should do. I believe in border control. We have to have border control. Those are things we all should be believing in, not just certain group, anyone like that. I believe in like school choice. I think everyone should have school choice, education for our kids and those are common Things Everyone should be believing in but seems like the left doesnt believe in that. They believe in separation. That is something i do not believe in. I dont believe in separation. I think the reason the country is greatest country in the world they brought so many great mind together to put them together. You dont have two classes like you have in a lot of other countries, the rich and the poor. In this country you have the people who go out to work and make Americas Dream come true. That is what i believe in. It is helping people to get that done. Maria real quick, before you go, herschel, we talked with your son a lot, christian walker. A political commentator. I love following him on instagram. Will he be part of your campaign . Will he also be campaigning for you, herschel . He is always campaigning for me. Christian i love him to death. He has his way of saying things. We might disagree with the way he is saying it. I believe in everything he says but he says it tougher more than i do. He is a tough young man. He is in college finishing his did he agree up with a couple of degrees. He will join in to help me out because i love the Little Guy. I better not say Little Guy because he will not like me saying that. Maria youre right. Well take a short break. Herschel, great to talk to you this morning, thanks for joining us. Herschel walker. Well be right back. A place where everyone lives life wellprotected. And even when things go a bit wrong, weve got your back. Here, things work the way you wish they would.

It has been now 20 years since savage terrorists hijacked four commercial planes and crashed them into the Twin Towers in New York and the pentagon in washington, Killing 2977 Americans that day. I was at the new York Stock exchange that morning on another network and i watched the horror while reporting in real time from the nyse. I stayed on Wall Street just a few blocks from the carnage until late that night as did my next guest. He actually worked at the new York Stock exchange. Joining me right now the former Chairman And Ceo of the nyse, Dick Grasso, who showed incredible leadership on a day that boy, did america need it, that day and in the weeks that followed. Dick, it is wonderful to see you once again. Thanks very much for being here. Good morning, maria. Good to be with you. Maria so i was just thinking about the day, the morning of september 11th, when i ran out of my office at the new York Stock exchange, up to the corner of Wall Street and broadway and we were all watching a small group had developed on the corner, we were watching a couple blocks away the building on fire. This was the first plane that went into the North Tower and it occurred to me, dick, at that point there was so much comradery. I was giving my blackberry, they were giving me there, calling home, telling people we were okay. We knew who the enemy was, we were united. What a change 20 years later. So true, maria, yesterday we honored the memory of 3,000 people and we promised to never forget them. Today and particularly important, the 343 firefighters, 23 Police Officers and 37 Port Authority Police officers, 403 firstresponders who gave up their lives that day so that 25,000 people could come out of the towers. Youre right, maria, you know, the comradery started that morning, sharing of phones, hugging, sheltering people from the clouds as The Two Towers came down, starting today though, look back 20 years ago, you know, it was the beginning of the rebuilding process. You know, america was one. We were united. Members of the House And Senate stood on the on on the capitol steps, sang god bless america. Public and private sector leaders got together here in New York. The great then mayor rudy giuliani, our terrific governor george pataki, harvey pitt, chairman of the sec and i were together. With resolved there would be a team. There werent democrats and republicans. Maria thats right. Private sector leaders. Maria youre right. All unified in one purpose. I hope maria you had that message. You had that message on the podium the following monday. Quick break. Then i want to talk about how America Rose again. Stay with us with Dick Grasso next. Love you, sweetheart they guide me with achievable steps that give me confidence. This is my granddaughter. Shes cute like her grandpa. Voya doesnt just help me get to retirement.

Ive solved problems all my life. Lets fix this great State Maria Welcome back. Im back with Dick Grasso, former Chairman And Ceo of the new York Stock exchange. Dick, you mentioned 343 firefighters we lost and the 23 nypd, and the 37, the numbers here on the pin that you created. I love this pin that you gave me to honor our fallen meros. So thank you for that and for mentioning it. I want to take you now back to september 17th, the monday that we reopened after six days and you sent a message to the world when you stepped aside and had the firefighters and the firstresponders ring that opening bell. You were telling the world we were down, we were in mourning but we would not be out. We would rise again. Talk about that a bit because i remember it so clearly having interviewed everybody after they got down from the podium to talk about the resilience of this great country. The message was a simple one, maria, you killed almost 3,000 people. You destroyed billions in property but you who committed this heinous crime will be found, will be killed and you will never succeed in trying to destroy the american way of life. A very simple message, codified in my words, if you bet against america, you will lose. Maria yes. Were looking at the pictures now of our firstresponders and how you honored them for days and weeks after that. How tough was it to reopen the markets, dick . Because it was six days, tuesday, the markets never opened on the 11th and they reopened on that monday there was a real debate between you and others in terms of how to get things up and running again . Well, it was both a technical challenge and a Human Challenge in the sense, maria, that No One wanted Stock Resumption or Securities Trading Resumption to in any way be prioritized over the search that was going on in the rubble of the towers, hoping to find people alive. So, we all voted, private sector and certainly our said you know, first and foremost lets find under those piles of steel. And then well maria of course. Thank you so much, dick. That i think maria thank you for your leadership, Dick Grasso. Uh carl, are there different Planning Options in here . Options .
