Card image cap

Throughout the next two hours, you dont want to miss it. We begin with a stark contrast how President Biden and President Trump are marking 9 11. Not long from now biden is scheduled to make highways to the pentagon after visiting both Ground Zero and shanksville, pennsylvania, to honor the lives lost that harrowing day. Meanwhile, former President Trump who is set to offer commentary at a Boxing Match this evening used the majority of his address marking the anniversary to bash biden over his withdrawal from afghanistan. This is the 20th year of this war and should have been a year of Victory And Honor and strength. Instead, Joe Biden and his inept administration surrendered in defeat. The former president did make a trip to the nypds 17th Precinct hours ago to honor the sacrifice made by the citys first responders but took time to criticize the president once again over the withdrawal. I want to bring in nbcs Mike Memoli who has been with us all day and is at the White House for us now. Good to see you this afternoon. It has been an incredibly somber day, a day of reflection for so many in this country, and a day for some also to celebrate those lives lost, right, to remember those people that were here 20 years ago. Now you have the former president politicizing 9 11. Any acknowledgement at this point from President Biden on that, and what more can you tell us about the President S Schedule Today . Reporter yeah, yasmin, not explicitly. Listen, today is a day to mourn those who perished 20 years aGo As well as to lift up those who showed great heroism in trying to save lives as well. Today is also a day of solemn rituals, rituals we have grown accustomed to in the 19 anniversaries since 2001. Today was a rare opportunity to see something we havent really seen in quite sometime, not since inauguration and not much because of the pandemic, which is sort of a coming together of the President S club. This morning We Saw President S clinton, obama and biden together at Ground Zero. We saw former President Bush joined by Vice President Kamala Harris in pennsylvania, all focused on one word, unity. Biden spoke to unity in his Video Recorded Remarks last night. The Vice President spoke about unity, and former President Bush in very poignant remarks talked about the america he remembered when he was president on 9 11, showing great Unity And Solidarity at a time of crisis. Former President Trump is very clearly the exception to that today, but i think it was notable that when we did hear from President Biden today in an unscheduled stop that he made to visit with local Fire Station in shanksville, pennsylvania, a stop he has made four times now and twice as Vice President , once as a candidate and once as president , he singled out the former president , george bushs remarks for praise. Listen to what biden had to say. I thought that President Bush made a really good speech today. Genuinely good speech about who we are. We are not the core of who we are is not divided. Reporter and just something of an incredible fullcircle moment, yasmin, i want to share. It was 20 years ago obviously george bush, president of the united states, was watching an interview that thensenator Joe Biden conducted with Abc News at the time in which he talked about how important it was for our institutions to stand strong and in which Thensenator Biden praised President Bush for his handling of the crisis so far. A few hours later President Bush called Senator Biden on the phone to say he was proud of the remarks he had made, one of the few public figures that had spoken publicly at that point. Today 20 years later, it is Push Biden who was watching bush while traveling on Air Force one while singling him out for praise. A nice fullcircle moment, yasmin. It certainly is. Thanks for that picture. Thank you for your coverage so far today. Lets talk about covid19 and some of the mandates the president has put in place over the last couple of days. You have furious reaction to the President S announced mandates, continuing to pour in today. Even as it is regarded by the majority in the polls who have had it with the unvaccinated. Nearly two dozen governors called it an abuse of power and unconstitutional while threatening legal action. President biden appeared undeterred as Peter Alexander reports. Have at it, some of the republican governors have been so cavalier with the health of these kids, so cavalier with the health of their communities. This is this is were playing for real here. This isnt a game. Reporter the Republican National Committee is threatening to sue the administration with at least 19 gop governors vowing to defy the rules. What the Biden Administration is doing is government overreach, pure and simple. He is picking a real fight with hardworking americans. This president is saying to them, look, you can either get vaccinated or i as one individual is going to threaten your ability to feed your family. Thats just wrong. Reporter it follows President Biden mandating all federal workers and most Health Care providers get vaccinated. Any employee at a business with more than 100 workers must get vaccinated or take a weekly covid test. This is not about freedom or personal choice. It is about protecting yourself and those around you. All right. With me to talk all about this dr. Kavita patel, Msnbc Contributor and Brookings Physician and fellow. Thank you for joining us on this. I want to read for you a quote from The New York Times talking about how a lot of republican governors now angry over these Mask Mandates and Vaccine Mandates, and here is what they say. Several republican governors vowed to go to court to challenge the constitutionality of the rules that affect twothirds of american workers, setting the stage for one of the nations most consequential legal battles over public health since republicans sued to overturn the affordable Care Act. Give me a reaction, kavita, to some of the outrage over these mandates. Yeah, yasmin. Look, im not shocked that Theres Outrage because it is fully expected when weve seen such outrage over something as simple as asking people to wear masks in certain situations. I am truly and especially having worked in the White House, we knew that this was going to come with a ton of resistance. What is kind of shocking though in some sense is the combination of whats happened in our country, the reflection to me, for you and All Of Us on 9 11 and thinking about the lives lost, and then in that face to think about a legal challenge that could offer an opportunity to have americans get back to some sort of normal. Think how desperately we would have wanted that 20 years ago. So it is shocking to me. By the way, im glad you brought up the affordable Care Act because i had to live through that battle, and republicans even at that time, yasmin, had no alternative. There was no kind of lets get rid of the affordable Care Act and do, here is the following to replace this, because the truth is there was nothing to replace it with and that couldnt be more true today. What is the proposal to just allow people to get sick and die when we have something that could prevent them . As you heard, this isnt Force Everyone to take a vaccine. Theres a testing option. I dont think thats great to be as a physician because we Cant Test out of covid, but this is definitely not an overreach of the federal government. In fact, many would say this has come way too late and we should have done this months ago. I dont think President Biden could have done that, but certainly we would have used that months ago to defeat the Delta Surge we are seeing. So maybe not soon enough, to put some of these mandates into place. Right, thats right. Then you have folks on the other side saying, listen, were not going far enough, the Biden Administration has not gone far enough. Dr. Leana wen in an Opinion Piece for the Washington Post writing this, biden needs to acknowledge that we have reached The End of the line when it comes to asking individuals get vaccinated. We have tried Education Incentives and appealing to peoples patriotic duty. It is not working. Now is the time for mandates, with the federal government using the full extent of its authority. Before you weigh in on this, i want to remind folks what were talking about when we talk about the mandates. Businesses with 100plus employ east, facilities receiving medicare and medicaid, federal employees and contractors, in total about 100 million. These folks are defending on federal money and or working for the government, but did he go far enough . Yeah, look, i would have loved to see an extension into travel, domestic Travel Testing potential domestic travel mandates. Here is what ill say. Number one, it may not be The End. Look, President Biden started months ago with a requirement for vax for federal workers or testing. What he did was say no more testing, mandate. Who is to say, yasmin, if we see another surge he knows now he needs to get ahead of it. What he is hoping is many of us will just get vaccinated if we havent been, and hes going to also need to roll out boosters. So, yes, i would love to see this Go A little further, but i also know how government works and i think that you can only do so much at a certain time. When this happened with the Polio Vaccine just for historical perspective, there was an incredible amount of resistance initially. Over time as people saw it was resulting in better health, getting some sense of normal, then people actually embraced it. Thats what we completely expect in the united states. So hopefully the President Wouldnt have to go further, but he has the room to do it and he has shown that he can do it. I guess the question is how much time. A lot of us are not necessarily patient when it comes to waiting this thing out. No, we shouldnt be. Taking so long so far putting our lives on hold for so long. Correct. Dr. Patel, thank you for being here. Thank you. The House Committee investigating the Capitol Rye Et riot. Ali vitali is live at the capitol on this for us. This is what Kevin Mccarthy was talking about. When were in power, he said, at one point you are going to see Republicans Wrath if you turn over these documents. Thats what they did. What is in them . Reporter yes, Leader Mccarthy was saying he would punish those Social Media and Telecom Companies if they cooperated with request from the committee. What a Committee Spokesperson has told us for the most part is Social Media Companies are cooperating with the probe. This statement though from a spokesman also says that the committee is going to need more information and theyre going to use, quote, whatever tools are at our disposal to get the records were seeking. Whats unspoken there, yasmin, and you and i have talked about this, is that so far we have only seen the committee put forward requests for records, both from Social Media Companies, Telecom Companies and also federal agencies and the national archives. The national archives is how theyre going to start to try to get at those communications from people within the White House, with the former president , with the former Vice President , all of those entities that are really relevant to the committees work on figuring out what happened on January 6th. Whats unspoken in that committee spoke Persons Statement though is that if they dont get these Documents Requests that theyre asking for, they can Go A step further and actually use subpoenas and try to get at them that way. Thats a likely battle that were going to face here and something that were definitely looking at as we get further down the road here, but at least initially thousands of documents pouring in. All right, Ali Vitali for us. Thank you as always. Good to see you. Still ahead, everybody, the Texas Governor promising to eliminate all rapist. A closer look at the record on Sexual Assault and the reallife impact of the no exceptions on survivors. Later on, my conversation with an incredible group of muslims about how 9 11 changed their lives. You are talking to a bunch of diverse muslims from divinations. Yes.

Today another private company taking action against the new restrictive Abortion Law in the state of texas. You got a Software Company called salesforce telling thousands of employees it is going to help them transfer out of the state of texas if they so choose. This is, of course, following remarks from the governor about rape that angered both Law Enforcement and womens groups. Rape or incest victim lets make something very clear. Rape is a crime, and texas will work tirelessly to make sure that we eliminate all rapists. Goal Number One in the state of texas is to eliminate rape so that no woman, no person will be a victim of rape. All right. Joined now by Juliana Gonzales the senior director of Sexual Assault services at safe, and christian ramirez, executive director of next gen america. I would like to start the next sector off by saying if the governor is right it would be amazing news. I dont think a single person wouldnt love this government to be right. I think the deployment is whether or not he is realistic and paying respect to so many victims in this country and around the world that have been sexually assaulted. With that, putting that out there, let me start first with the reaction that we got from Vice President Kamala Harris. The words that he spoke were the words that were to arrogantly dismiss concerns about rape survivors and to speak those words that were empty words, that were false words, that were fuelled with not only arrogance but bravado. That is not who we want in our leaders. Im sure any woman can understand the passion in the Vice President s voice. Juliana, i will start with you and want to get your reaction first to what the governor had to say. Yeah. As you said, i think we all agree that eliminating rape in texas is a very worth while goal. Certainly the work that we do every day. However, i get a little worried about the way he is screening the issue. I think it may it may not confront some of the realities that we know to be true about rape, both based on our experience at Rape Crisis centers across the country and based on the data. So screening the issue as something that happens when rapists are left free on the streets, it sort of ignores the reality of most sexual Assault Survivors who report their Sexual Assault was perpetrated by someone in their life already, someone theyre in a relationship with like a friend, partner, a family member, something like that. It also assumes survivors are reporting to the police, and survivors are not reporting to the police in great numbers. In texas a 2015 study told us only about 15 are reporting to police. Beyond that, we all know that the criminal Justice System does not guarantee super strong outcomes for sexual Assault Survivors in court. So, you know, i think ending Sexual Assault is certainly something that we are all interested in doing. I dont think it is a problem we can arrest our way out of however. I think it is going to take education and prevention, it is going to take a Culture Shift. Thats such an important note and an important point, a Culture Shift and education. Christina, i want to give you an opportunity to respond as well. You know, i think a lot of us that do work here in texas were shocked by his comments because if he had had the power over the years to end rape in texas, i dont know why he hasnt done it. We have a backlog in texas of thousands of Rape Kits that have not been tested, and the governor has been nowhere to be seen on that issue that faces thousands of women. Lets get really real here in texas that, you know, i think of a good friend of mine a few years ago that was assaulted, raped by someone she knew. She became pregnant, and it took her months to even confront the fact that that most traumatic event in her life had every happened to her and she needed an abortion and she was age to get one. Under this law a woman that was raped would have just days if she was even able to understand she was pregnant to be able to Go And seek an abortion. If she didnt find out in that timeline and still tried to get an abortion, she would have Bounty Hunters that could come after her just for trying to deal with, again, the most traumatic, one of the most traumatic Life Events a woman can possibly face. These comments arent just dumb. They are dangerous, dangerous to the lives of women across texas and victims of Sexual Assault. I want to give folks some numbers here so they can understand what is happening specifically in the state of texas when it comes to sexual Assault And Rape specifically. First up, the stats on rape from 2019 in the Texas Department of public safety, texas had the highest number of rapes reported of any state in the country at 14,656. By the way, you obviously just heard my guest talking about the fact thats only a fraction of the rapes that are actually happening in the state. These are just the ones being reported. On top of that you have only 2,200 arrests of those over 14,000 reported. The other numbers we are looking at, a third of texans have experienced some form of Sexual Assault. One in three texans, estimated only 9. 2 of rapes are reported in texas. Nationally, only 2. 5 of rapes result in incarceration. Juliana, what are you telling the victims of rape who, in fact, are then impregnated by these people that assault them, that take advantage of them, that violate them now with this arcane law in place . It has been very difficult at every Crisis Center in texas this last week. One of the things were committed to is making sure that as a result of getting a sexual Assault Exam after their sexual Assault Survivor it feel empowered. They feel like theyve been treated with privacy and dignity. They feel like their bodily autonomy has to some extent been restored. They feel like they can get Justice And Healing at their own pace. This law has really stood in the way of us being able to provide that level of care to sexual Assault Survivors. It is going to be really devastating for not just survivors of Sexual Assault but also of the survivors we see here, folks who are experiencing Sexual Assault, human trafficking, domestic or family violence, child sexual abuse, stalking. This is going to radically change peoples lives. Were going to be talking more about this throughout the next two hours, specifically the Department Of Justice suing the state of texas over this law, get into the details of that and what could we expect over the coming weeks and months when it comes to this case. For now, jewel anna gonzales, christine ramirez, thank you very much. I appreciate you joining me this afternoon. Coming up, everybody, the limits of pandemic politics, while many governors threaten to sue the president of the united states, one has reached his limit when it comes to the unvaccinated.

Bidens tyranical dictate on Vaccine Mandates, it seems clear that he believes that we are subjects and that he is a king. We live in america, and you would expect words like that from the president maybe of Communist China or of north korea. We had to elect this Rotting Bag of oatmeal to get a real tire ant. What we just saw from Joe Biden is more authoritarian than anything Donald Trump ever tried. You have republicans and the rightwing media who framed President Biden at tyrant and authoritarian after he announced outstanding mandates, some of the most outspoken gop governors, many of which are threatening to sue the president. Despite this West Virginias governor jim justice has been pleading with his residents for months to get vaccinated. For gods sakes a living, how difficult is this to understand . Why in the world do we have to come up with these crazy ideas, and theyre crazy ideas, that the vaccine has got something in it and it is tracing people wherever they go . And the same very people that are saying that are carrying their cellphones around. I mean come on. Come on. All right. Joining me hayes brown, Columnist And Editor for msnbc daily. Hayes, thanks for joining us today. I really appreciate it. You wrote about Governor Justice recently, essentially begging as we just saw there, West Virginians to get vaccinated, saying, get out there, get vaccinated, you are carrying around cellphones. You think people are tracking you, look at what is in your hand every time you talk to it. I want to read a piece. When Virginia Rollout was first beginning, West Virginia was a standout in how quickly and efficiently it was getting shots into arms. As of thursday only about 40 of the States Population was fully vaccinated, the third lowest rate in the country. I remember this as the Vaccine Rollout first started, we looked at West Virginia and thought, wow, look at them go. Now essentially as you mentioned theyve stalled out. What happened . I mean the same thing We Saw in a lot of places around the country where once the people dead set on getting the vaccine were vaccinated they ran into the wall of Misinformation And Disinformation out there, especially being spread in the rightwing circles about, you know, all of these crazy conspiracies that Governor Justice mentioned, that theres Tracking Devices in there, that this is from Bill Gates somehow to mess with the american population. The idea that the vaccine is antifreedom and No One can make you get this vaccine, that it is untested. All of these other misinformation thats out there, that Governor Justice has been really fullthroated in saying, no, that is not the case. He really stands out, i think. I mean there are other republican governors who have been really good on this. You have Phil Scott in vermont. You have Larry Hogan in maryland, but those are states that biden won. West virginia, trump won West Virginia handily by a Twotoone Margin in 2020. So these are the people that he is pleading with to, please, go out there and get vaccinated. What distinguish evening Governor Justice as a person and a politician for him to be on this side when it comes to vaccinations in comparison, of course, to his more, shall we say, rightwing Counterpart Governors like those in texas and florida . Well, for one, i dont think he wants to run for president unlike some, like Greg Abbott in texas and Ron Desantis in florida. He is thinking actually about the people of his state and not just trying to rile up the republican base around the country. I think Thats Something that we really have to appreciate in this case. Now, are there more things that he could be doing . Yeah, for example, the state doesnt have a Mask Mandate right now. Justice has said he wants to leave that to the communities to decide. The State Board of education just met and didnt put a mandate out for schools, but he is trying to push a policy to help West Virginians as opposed to looking out nationally and trying to compete in the shadow primary happening right now among republicans. So theres basically a limit to his support when it comes to vaccines. He will get out there and say, get the vaccine, please, and plead with folks to get it but not necessarily supporting the President S Vaccine Mandate he has put in place over the last couple of days. Finally, how does it square with his Approval Rating when he has him urging folks to get vaccinated, only 40 of the state vaccinated, yet he has a 61 Approval Rating . It is really interesting. I think part is the fact he is still on this idea we have to convince people to get this vaccine. He said there is no statewide mandate to get vaccinated in that same way that you see in other states. I think that in a small way that Biden Administration has taken the load off him by putting out a federal mandate, a rule that will come through the Department Of Labor that companies over 100, with over 100 employees have to get make sure their employees are vaccinated or very regularly tested. That kind of shifts it off of him in a way, so, hopefully, he comes out strongly in favor of this mandate or at least doesnt push back in the same way were seeing from some of the other republican governors. Hayes brown, thanks as always. Good to see you. Coming up, everybody, was we remember the tragic event of 9 11, what has changed since that day and what has stayed the same . I sat down with a panel of muslimamericans for their perspective. I will have some of that conversation ahead. Coming up next, msnbc national Security Analyst Clint watts joins me to talk about the Terror Threat from overseas to the danger here at home. What should we be worried most about right now .

So much of our politics has become a naked appeal to anger, fear and resentment. That leaves us worried about our nation and our future together. Former president george w. Bush earlier this afternoon with a notsoveiled reference to the politics championed by former president Donald Trump, bush using his speech at the flight 93 national memorial in shanksville, pennsylvania, his most highprofile speech in years, to confront the divisive politics in the country and domestic extremism it has fostered. I want to bring in clint wants, distinguished fellow at the foreign policy research institute. Thank you for joining us. I appreciate it. In was an unprecedented moment i have to say, to hear from the former president in a way, point the finger at another former president and talk about the rise of in a way extremism, domestic terrorism in this country, not only overseas but here and what has happened because of that. What did you make of that moment . It was one of the best speeches actually i have heard kind of in the Terrorism Context in the past 20 years to be honest. I mean he really laid out what it felt like on September 11th 20 years ago right now. You know, i distinctly remember walking up on september 12th, 2001, and feeling that the world had changed and watching how all americans came together to a degree. I was in the army at the time, and that sense of lets do this, you know, lets work together, lets Help Everyone out, we had shared consequence in this country around, you know, September 11th. Then you fast forward to today where we just saw something on January 6th that while not as deadly or as shocking as 9 11 was still quite traumatic i think for our country. You see such divisive discussion and Vitriolic Hate being spewed by so many americans against each other, it is hard to reconcile why we would behave this way as a country, why we wouldnt see something like 9 11 and then see something like January 6th, instead bring ourselves together especially when we have had so many americans die during the pandemic. So it is a strange time. Im really thankful that former President Bush, you know, was able to point this out and point the finger to what it came from. This was a phenomenon of Donald Trump. It is absolutely on his shoulders and he brought it to a level i have never seen before. Youre right, it is really hard to reconcile. I think as everybody was listening to the former President S speech today, thinking back to the day he sat in that classroom in front of second graders as the news was delivered to him in his ear. I remember, you know, thinking to myself, what was he thinking in that moment. You kind of saw his Face Change and knowing that the world had changed along with it. I want to stick to this topic of domestic terrorism before we transition to the threat we see overseas. You know, you talked about January 6th. Theres obviously a rally theyre organizing now on September 18th. I will be down in d. C. Covering it as well, and it is supposed to kind of celebrate, i guess, the insurrectionists that have been prosecuted. You tweeted about this. You said this. We should worry a bit about a mobilization at the capitol on September 18th. At the moment for militia extremists, im more concerned about targeting State Capital buildings, local municipal buildings where White Supremacists targeting refugees and afghan centers as well. How worried are you about targeting in this country and how much resources we are dedicating to stop it . It is definitely Number One in terms of terrorism. It is far more significant. I think when you look around at what is happening in the country, at the pace of arrests since January 6th, the pace of attacks by White Supremacists, particularly in the 2018 period before the pandemic, is just astounding. It is far greater in terms of frequency than We Saw from Al Qaeda wannabes and islamic state wannabes over the last two decades. The other thing for extremists is they have access to targets, they have access to weapons. They are not treated with the same sort of scrutiny you would from a foreign terrorist group. We dont have a domestic terrorist designation. It makes it difficult to police for these sorts of things. September 18th is a great example. We have seen discussions, particularly a couple of weeks ago, they waned as of late, political leaders are not as excited about September 18th now, such as cawthorn. But in state and local capitals around the country, these are small police forces. Theres not a lot of security. You see different groups in the online space say, hey, we cant get to d. C. But we can get to cheyenne, wyoming or jefferson, missouri. Theyre picking locations closer to home and it doesnt take too many to create a huge problem and violent situation for domestic terrorism. Clint watts, a good conversation and i appreciate it and i appreciate your writing ones this as well. Thank you. I sat down with a diverse group of muslimamericans this week to talk about what it has been like for them since 9 11 and how they feel about our current climate as muslims in this country. Here is some of what they told me. I was only 13. I did not understand because we were always taught this is not islam and, you know, were supposed to give, we are supposed to help, and then you are telling me someone from the same faith as me did this. I remember thinking, i should go home and just feeling like fear. My dad had a big bumper sticker, dont mess with texas, you know, to sort of prove our americanness, our texanness. Our credentials. My wife goes down to Ground Zero for the first couple of days and sets up the first triage centers, the first pharmacies. Somebody said to her, a fellow arab, said to her, i would cover my name if i was you. She said, no, im very proud of what i am. I serve my nation and i serve my city. My son youssef, my eldest, was a first responder. He was in the u. S. Army, and as a national guardsman he was deployed the very next morning to Ground Zero and was a first responder there for six months.

Heartbreaking scenes at Todays Commemoration Ceremony at Ground Zero where the Twin Towers once stood, honoring all of those who died there 20 years ago. As you can see there, three President S, biden and former President S obama and clinton were in attendance, while Vice President Kamala Harris and President Bush attended a solemn ceremony in shanksville, pennsylvania. Rehema ellis here. Good to see you this afternoon. It was an incredibly moving ceremony honoring the lives lost there 20 years ago, still seeing with the family and friends of those lost the feelings still very raw. Talk us through some of the highlights of todays ceremony. Reporter it is some of what you have mentioned already, yasmin, and that is where you have the current and two former President S being here on this scene, and the thing that i find so remarkable and moving about this day is that it always begins with a silence in the morning before the ceremony begins, and then theres the eery sound of the Bag Pipes and the soothing sound of the chimes and bells and then the traditional reading of the names. One of the things i found interesting about the ceremony is we were able to connect with two families who, of course, theyre all connected in Grief And Loss but also connected in another way. Each had someone who was lost in the North Tower the south tower, i should say, and it was a connection with the united Airlines Flight 175. One family, their loved one was in the tower, the other one, their loved one was on the plane. They both got final Phone Calls that day. Just listen. It was very surreal to walk back into a home and know that you might be hearing your loved Ones Voice for the last time, and i walked over and pressed play and, you know, the old fashioned answering machines time stamped messages. It said 8 58 a. M. He very distinctly, very matter of fact told me, im on a hijacked airplane. If things dont go well and it is not looking good, i want you to know i absolutely love you. I want you to do good. Go have good times. The same to my family and everybody, and i just totally love you and i will see you when you get here. I think it was at that moment that i knew he wasnt coming home. Danny would have given anything to get out of that building and i know because i spoke to him minutes before he died. You know, as well as all of our Loved Ones of 9 11, they would have given anything. What did he say to you . Well, he he started crying and i said, what is going on . He said, well, you know, he was witnessing what was going on next door. I said, well, what are you doing . Why dont you just get out of there . He said, no, im just here praying for the people next door. And then marty had called me and i said, well, marty is calling, let me let him know that you are okay and, you know, he said he just wanted to go home to his wife peggy and five kids. I said, well, let me let marty at least know you are okay and, you know, hung up the phone, told marty, and then a couple minutes later the second plane hit. As hard as it is to remember people in this kind of ceremony, families told me today they cant imagine being anywhere else but here on September 11th. Yasmin. Oh, rehema, it was so incredibly touching, that interview you did with both of those individuals. It brings tears to my eyes
