9 11 made me late. Don Lemon Tonight starts right now. The big star, d lemon. Lets put it up then. Look how beautiful this is. Can we show it . Um, look. You were born here. I wasnt. I moved here. And its hard. I still look at this skyline and, you know, driving on the bqe or on the ftr, what have you, and i expect to see those buildings around every turn. And it is a reminder, every day, when you look that way that its not there. But especially, today. And its also a reminder how much we lost. But a reminder, as well, on how we can come together no matter what as americans, as we did after those horrible attacks. Yeah, thats what i always thought. 100 . Beautifully said, my brother.
