25 Years Later: Never Forget

0:00This is an I Heart Podcast. Guaranteed Human. I believe that whoever was in that room and did that was a murderer. A new podcast series, Fault Line Haditha, tells the story of a shocking crime and a cover-up at the highest levels of the United States Marine Corps. If you've got five players and you offer immunity to four, you better be right about the fifth because if you're not, then you've just given immunity to your color. Listen to Fault Line Haditha on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Our two Sean Hannity Show toll free. It is 890-4191 Sean. If you want to be a part of the program, only 56 days. To the most important election, it's an inflection point for America. I hope you're getting the importance of it. There are people out there that just refuse to understand how important and imperative it was to prevent Iran from ever becoming a nuclear power. There are people out there that will tell you they feel sorry for you if you think radical

1:04Islam is a threat to the United States. On Friday, it will be 25 years since 9-11-01. And then New York City, it's rather ironic, elected a radical mayor that won't even go to the Israeli Day Parade whose wife celebrated or at least approved of the postings of people on social media. It's kind of breathtaking to me and that we're supportive of what happened on October 7th. It would have been the equivalent of 40,000 dead Americans in a day. We lost 2,977 Americans that day. Many others have died since from 9-11 related illnesses and the ensuing conflicts that took place to prevent more terror attacks on our homeland. I mean, it's hard to wrap my mind around the fact that we have to educate people on this very topic. You think they remember? I understand younger people that didn't live through it.

2:05We live through it. Just like my parents live through what happened on at Pearl Harbor. My father fought for four years in the Pacific in World War II. My father never forgot Pearl Harbor. That generation never forgot Pearl Harbor. Anyway, so the controversy is now emerged about Mamdani, Zoran Marxist Kami Mamdani. And there are people speaking out today. One woman named Joanne Ariola, New York City Councilwoman saying that Mamdani should not show up for 9-11 for the ceremony because he surrounds himself with people who think we deserve 9-11. Listen. Mayor Mamdani has done everything he can to suck the oxygen out of the room for this particular event we're holding today. From performative signings of executive orders to an A30, not planned in advance, release, that he's going to release the information regarding the air quality down at 9-11 at

3:10Grand Zero. What he's trying to do is deflect as he always does from the real issue, which is that he does not care about 9-11 or the tragedies that took place because he surrounds himself with people who believe that America deserved what it got. And he does not disavow them. He does not step away from them. It's really why you shouldn't be there. Other politicians will be there. No one will speak. It is about the survivors and about those who were murdered that day. But Mayor Mamdani, he surrounds himself with people who say that if your hands are dirty, you should wipe them on the flag. He surrounds himself with people who have represented Al Qaeda members who took the lives of Americans.

4:12He doesn't understand that the people standing behind me and the 101,000 people who signed the petition feel that he is as much against them as those terrorists were on the day they lost their loved ones. And here's another New York City Councilwoman. This one is named Vicki Paladino demanding that Mamdani not show up for 9-11 and 9-11 ceremonies on Friday. Listen. Here we stand in the Steps of City Hall 25 years later. Who would have ever thought in a million years that we would have a petition with 101,000 names on it of fellow New Yorkers standing on the Steps of City Hall asking for a mayor not to attend the most tragic day in our nation's history that happened to be right here in New York City. And we are standing here and we are standing strong.

5:13I'm not asking politely for the mayor not to come to 9-11 to that ceremony. I am asking, I am demanding that he not show his face at that sacred ground. He does not belong there. When you associate yourself with the likes of Hassan Pekka and you have as your chief or a counselor right here in this building, Rossane Hassan, who was handed a sacred pen yesterday, very cryptic through our police commissioner so that it could go into his hands. That was a message to each and every one of us, cryptic as it is, but read through the lines. What's going on here in City Hall and what we got representing us here in City Hall, they do not belong on sacred ground. I could go through a list of people that he associates himself with and continues to

6:17associate himself with. We the people do not care for Zoran Mandati. All right here with us now is Nicole Parker. She's the author of the bestseller, the two FBI's, the bravery and betrayal I saw in my time at the Bureau. She was working in the World Trade Financial Center on 9-11. She was there. She was very successful in the Wall Street world at the time. It became a pivotal point in her life in the sense that she saw what happened. She lived it and it was an inflection point and then she turned her passion, her work into getting into the FBI was one of very few that applied that actually got accepted. She wanted a fight for the country that she loved. Unfortunately she dealt with an FBI that was weaponized and politicized under James Comey and that later led to her making a tough decision to get out of this.

7:20Nicole Parker actually texted her dad on 9-11-01 at 849 AM. There was just an explosion across at the World Trade Center. I saw it. I'm fine. Nicole. And, you know, she sees it firsthand. I mean, I think everybody needs to stop and think and reflect and become a little bit thoughtful and introspective about what it is that Donald Trump is doing with Iran and why it's been necessary. Every single person that knows and I've gone over this with many, many people, many, many times the people that saw the presidential daily briefings, they said the president had no option. He had no choice. Every other president before him said the words Iran can never have a nuclear weapon and then JPCOA came along and and and Barack Obama drops cargo planes full of cash and other currencies on the tarmac in Iran for the mullies of Iran.

8:21It's insane. Anyway, Nicole Parker joins us now. I'm sure it's a vivid memory for you. It is for me. Sean, is the day that goes down as the worst day, obviously in the United States history, but for those of us that witnessed it, it was the most impactful day of my life. I was 23 years old at the time and you're right. I was working at Merrill Lynch. I used to walk through the World Trade Center every morning for my commute. I took the one train down to the Portland Street World Trade Center station and I would exit. That's one World Trade Center. I get emotional even thinking about it. I would walk through and then I would take the escalator over the footbridge to the World Financial Center to Merrill Lynch. I got there around 7.45 in the morning with when I was in one World Trade Center about one hour before that first plane hit that tower. I went to my office. It was actually my brother's birthday. It's on 9.11. It was the day of an election.

9:21I was getting ready for the day, taking care of a few personal things. My boss at the time was when Smith at Merrill Lynch. He was the Chairman of Merrill Lynch International. He was in and I was just getting ready for the day. The next thing I know, my colleague comes in a little earlier than normal. We're having a conversation and we all of a sudden heard the loudest explosion I have ever heard in my life. I immediately stopped and I looked at her and we looked at each other and we knew something was wrong. I immediately ran to the window and the North Tower, one World Trade Center was on fire, Sean. It was incomprehensible to me. I could not process what I was seeing. It was the worst nightmare you could ever imagine. My first thought was there are people dying up there. We didn't know what it was. We didn't know that it was an airplane. I just said, you know what, there are people dying up there. This is terrible. Things continue to get worse. I sent that email that I sent my father from my Merrill Lynch email account.

10:25It's an important part of history and an artifact that I will always hold on to. I was there. I saw it. And for those of us that lived this, this is not just about politics. This is not about mayor showing up. This is a day of terror that changed us. And you can never, ever, unsee the images that we saw. Because what happened at 846, Sean was just the beginning. Things continue to unravel. The South Tower was then hit and we knew at that point. We saw the plane coming into the South Tower and we knew this was not an accident. We are under attack. And I at that point, I'm like, I got to get out of here. Like I don't know what everyone else here at Merrill Lynch is going to do. But something in my heart was like Nicole, you need to get out of here. Originally people were like, stay put where you are. Stay for inside the building. There's tons of debris outside and something in my soul was like Nicole, you need to get out. And I followed several of my co-workers. I was, again, I'm from Texas, 23 years old. I could not wrap up my head around what I was seeing.

11:26It just seemed like a terrible nightmare. And it wasn't. It was real. And no matter how many times I tried to tell myself, this is not happening. Sean, I witnessed the battle between good and evil right before my eyes. It's not something that you just read about. This is literal. And I felt evil all around me. And there were people dying. And we could see them. They had no better option, whether they, I think some of them chose to jump probably. Some of them, I think, were, they were literally holding on to the side of the World Trade Center. And they probably flipped. But jumping was there. Well, I, I think they jumped because they were about to burn to death. And they thought that was the quicker way out. And I don't, I don't fault them one bit for that decision. I mean, it was over. And they just saw the truth for what it was. And when they were coming down, they would come down, Sean, they crashed to the ground. It was terrible. My friends that were there on the ground at the time, you know, described it to me. And it is not something you're ever going to forget. And something that you can never erase from your memory ever.

12:28Never, ever, until the day I die. And you know what? That is why I am so strong and never forgetting. That is why I walked away from finance, Sean. I worked at a multi-billion dollar hedge fund. And I made a vow on 9-11. And as I was exiting my building, I had a spiritual moment. And I knew in my heart, I had this feeling. And it was me, introspectively saying, Nicole, if you die today, are you ready to die? Are you prepared to meet your maker? Because none of those people in that world trade center building, they did not think that they were going to be vaporized by an airplane when they went to work that day. And it does. It makes you think, am I ready to die? What have I done with my life? What have I done? And at that moment, I said, you know what? One day, I will get back. I will serve my country. I will get back. And I will stand as the witness of God. And I will stand as the witness of truth. And I did the best that I could. It was in 2009. I applied to, I started my application process for the FBI. I was accepted. In 2010, I started at Quantico. I went to training.

13:28And that is what I did in my effort to keep that vow that I made on 9-11 to give back. Because you know who saved us, Sean? It was NYPD. It was the Port Authority Police Department. It was FDNY. All of the thousands of us were looking up. We weren't moving because we were in shock. It was NYPD that said, get away from the buildings. Get away from the towers. You've got to keep moving. Move, move, move. I'll tell you, I've stood for a long time. Be my co-workers. And then my co-worker, Mark Colori. I'm still friends with these people. He said, I have a strong feeling we need to get off this island. We've got to get off the island. We were near the winter garden at this point at the World Financial Center. We had no where else to go. We got onto a ferry. I ended up going to New Jersey. I ended up going to Connecticut later that night. I didn't return back to my home in New York City for five days, Sean. Five days. Well, I'll tell you, we're not going to forget this week. And later in this program, Michael W. Smith, there she stands. He did a new version of it. And we'll show it Friday night on television.

14:31But I'm telling you, for those people that don't understand the importance of this, and we'll get into why I know Mom Donnie's promising to go. He's not wanted there. We'll see how the reaction is. People are mad at President Trump because he's going to the Pentagon. The Pentagon also got hit that day. You can't be in three locations at one time. If you go back to President Trump at the time when he was just Donald Trump, and he was helping the people out there on the ground from day one. It's just everybody just looks for something to hate him about. Nicole, you have done all that good that you would hope for and more. And we still appreciate your voice. It's more important now than ever. Thank you for being with us. All right, 89041, Sean. I was a number if you want to be a part of the program. A shocking crime and a cover up at the highest levels of the United States Marine Corps. Someone opened the door and was the primary shooter. Is it possible you could do that and then suppress the number? A new podcast series, fault line Haditha, tells the story.

15:33The United States government wants to keep buried. How can you not know? There were women and children there. You can tell us here that you don't know what happened that day? Based on thousands of pages of previously classified documents and over a hundred hours of secretly filmed video, the truth about one of the most infamous crimes in Marine Corps history can finally be told. If you've got five players and one of them is guilty of murder at least and you offer immunity to the other four, you better be right about the fifth because if you're not, then you've just given immunity to your color. Listen to fault line Haditha on the Lie Heart radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, let's get to our busy telephones here. Let's say hi to Roman. Roman is in Massachusetts. Roman, hi. How are you? Glad you called. Hope you had a great Labor Day. Hey, Sean. Good to talk to you. I did. It was a great weekend. Thank you very much.

16:33I hope you did too. I wanted to talk today about the moral degradation. I would love to talk about 9-11 and you know, we've got a lot of universities coming up. Bad ones. 9-11 and then Charlie's University coming up. But I really want to talk about Lindsey Clancy and the moral degradation is happening to the progress of the left. We had 12 jurors, 11 cowards. Okay. Nine of them were women who basically thought were their feelings and two men who would definitely afraid of all those women cowards. And one man who stood up and spoke for the children and said, this cannot stand the buck ends with me. I am not backing down. Bravo to you, sir. I can only imagine the pressure that he was under. I've been a police officer for 30 years, Sean. I know what the ins and outs of courts and have been in trial and trials and all that.

17:37And women fought for 100 years. Well, they fought to get the right to vote. And now they are fighting for the right to be able to kill each other of children. And they are fighting for the right to be able to terminate a non-muff pregnancy, which just happened in Massachusetts a couple of weeks ago. And it's hearing about it. And this is a dark day for women's rights. It really is because I do believe women could do anything, men can do. But the left, the progressive left has gone just me. The court house in Plymouth was it's a big building and it's got a big parking lot. There was hundreds if not thousands of women with signs, protein, just rallying, but it looked like an organized mob. They were all wearing pink. Two jurors went into the court house, jurors wearing pink. Judge said nothing. The jury wasn't sequested.

18:38They'll obvious plants in that jury. They knew exactly and they weren't sequestered for whatever reason. No one even asked them to be sequested. It was just a travesty. It was a travesty to me to see a jury who was supposed to be on the honor system. Well really bothered me is Clancy's defense attorney. And everyone's entitled to a defense attorney. And I guess they can be outspoken as they want. But for him to go after the entire jury system, it's an imperfect system. But I can't think of a better one. And when he said they know, meaning the other 11, they know they were robbed by one man, only three men on the jury for whatever his agenda was, who stole seven weeks of the life of these other jurors. And then he charged the holdout with hostility toward the disabled. I mean, basically if this guy is found out, he's put a target on this guy.

19:40It's really so over the top and so unprofessional. It is a totally a total abandonment of restraint and decency on his part. It's just this is what it is. Nothing surprises me with people anymore. I wish I could tell you I'm surprised, but I'm not. No, you know what? I actually absolutely was surprised at that because it's mob rules. You know what I mean? Huntington said basically this guy's not playing ball. He got a note. We don't know what the note says. He is something tells me that he may have been tipped off. I want to the jurors through a friend to a friend to a friend that got to Red Inkton. And that's when he went to the judge and said this guy's not playing ball. We have to appeal to the Supreme Court of Massachusetts who actually finally made a good decision and said no, the jurors stays. It's just the whole thing. You don't get to kick off the jurors that you don't like. I mean, they have a jury selection process.

20:41And that's the time that you make decisions about whether or not people are qualified or not. That's it. And then you stuck with whatever the verdict is. Now I also talked and length about the venue in which this trial was being held. And we already have an entirely new case already where I told you this would happen. The Lindsey Clancy defense is going to become pretty commonplace. And to give you an example, we had the a Nell and Oym mom was infatuated with Lindsey Clancy's trial accused now of killing her two year old son or attorney says she was experiencing a psychotic episode when the tragedy unfolded. I mean, so I'm just expect a ton of this because it's not going to stop. It's going to keep going. It's going to keep happening. I'm just I want everyone in this audience to know we told you ahead of time. Sean, I want everybody to know too. Like I said, I was a police officer. And now it's not like, yeah, you will create you. Well, you use the term crazy. You were crazy, but you killed somebody going jail.

21:43It's not like that anymore. Everything's seen through the meant the lens of mental health. Okay. You could do whatever you want. But is there anybody that's capable of killing someone that is not by definition crazy? Agreed. Agreed. If you're killing somebody, you just got to be something wrong with you. You know, right? Let me let me I got to get some other calls and Roman, you're dead on. I don't know what the hell you're doing up in Massachusetts. You don't have a single elected Republican up there. Not one. And you don't have that's in Washington, meaning in the House of the Senate. You don't even have a governor that just signed into law and abortion law where you can have an abortion up to the moment of birth. Nobody seems to care in Massachusetts. And you know, knowing that fact, you're dealing with a pretty left-wing jury pool. None of this surprised me. I was warning people ahead of time, manage your expectations because I did not expect. I didn't expect that I didn't expect a conviction. I just didn't. I mean, I thought at best, you might get either manslaughter, but that was a long, I knew

22:46it was a long shot. Anyway, I appreciate your man. Thank you, 89941, Sean. As a number, John is in Long Island, New York. What's up, John? How are you? Glad you called. Hi, Sean. Thanks for taking the call. I was just wondering, you know, this is the area that they just were awarded the right to abort their children up to the day of birth. And the women, when they won that right, or the court awarded them that, they were applauding and cheering as though they just won the lottery. I mean, is there any value to life anymore? How are they going to find a new jury? If this is, you know, when people say mental health, but it's not mental. If you get smacked in the head with a baseball bat, then you've got a mental problem. This is all emotional. And everything today seems to be on how the way people feel. I feel like I'm a woman. Well, today I feel like I'm a man. I feel like killing my children, you know, I don't want the hassle of

23:49you know, of going through motherhood or birth or whatever. And it's just scary. I mean, there's no value today of life. And today, unlike any other time in history, good is clearly being cold, evil, and evil is being cold, good. I don't think that your moral compass is off, but, you know, case and point, I've made the argument that I don't think Lindsey Clancy should ever see the light of the day again. I think most people are familiar with the Menenda's case and they were convicted in 1989, both Eric and Lyle of killing their parents and claiming the killings initially were a mob hit. And they were 18 and 21 respectively at the time. And the brothers extravagant spending in the wake of their parents' deaths drew a lot of attention. Anyway, they're now, you know, they're, they were convicted of murdering their parents. They will get a chance of parole. And I think the odds are pretty high that they'll be walking the street again.

24:49And are they changed? I have no idea. I can't read people's hearts or minds. I'm not capable of that. I try to, but it is, it, it, it, understand in 56 days. This is all related. No, no police, no bail. Uh, you know, defund dismantle. Re-imagine the police. I mean, if you think things are bad in big cities and small towns and blue cities and states around the country now, it is going to be mob rule. And there's not going to be much you can do about it until they finally, hopefully one day wake up and realize that their decisions are pretty stupid. The best thing that people can do is prevent any more of these DSA lunatics from ever getting in power. Uh, yeah, my broken record. I'm a broken record right now. I will be for 56 more days until hopefully enough of you understand the urgency of this moment and save the country. Quick break right back. More your calls coming up are toll free numbers eight hundred nine four one Sean. If you want to be a part of the program as we continue.

25:54Final hour round up is next. You do not want to miss it. And stay tuned for the final hour free for all on the Sean Hannity show. All right back to our busy phones. It's toll free. It's eight hundred nine four one Sean. If you want to join us. All right. Let's go to Robert and Louisiana. Robert, hi. How are you glad you call? I'm great. Sean. How are you? I'm good by the, you know, your LSU coaches getting criticized for icing Clemson and keeping him for the full 90 minutes in the locker room.

26:55And I think he ran up the score. I'm like that. Their job is to win by the biggest margin possible. If your team loses, that's not his fault. His job is to beat the other team. I do agree with the other team at one. It will be the same thing just shoot a shield on different foot. Oh, but anyway, that that's football. That's not what I'm here for today. I have a question for you if you can answer for me. You bet. If you had one question, you could ask an independent voter in the United States. Right now, what would that question be? What do you know about the the 250 DSA members that have been elected? And what do you know about their stated agenda on their website? And I'd go through every item. So it would be one question plus. Yeah, I agree. And that's a big question. That's a big question. There's a lot of information embedded in that. And I don't keep up with all that because to be honest with you, um, I'm almost 62 years old. Uh, I am retired. I worked hard all my life. And I've watched the Republicans and the Democrats go back and forth and back and forth over the years.

27:59And I can remember from even when I was a child. And it's to the point now where it's a big firework show. Nobody's really doing anything that's constructive. I don't feel like it's constructed. Other than President Trump, his writings are down right now. His approval ratings, I think. But I don't disapprove of the man's actions. He has a grand plan. He's a very, very intelligent man. And some of these people that are out here on the streets nowadays, it seems like all they want to do is hold their hand out. It won't something for nothing. Instead of holding your hand out, you need to be putting your hands on something, learn a trade, get away from the brainwashing that comes from politics and go ahead and save this nation because it's not a politician on either side that's going to save the country. It's going to be the people. Do you agree? Listen, it's going to be the people and, you know, the problem we have and what worries me about 56 days from now is I think people are so busy doing what you did your entire adult life, which is working hard

29:04and taking care of their families and going to church on Sunday and raising their kids and obeying the laws and paying their taxes. You know, it's, it's Americans that make the country great. And what worries me is I, I think, and it's, it, it's not low information voters. It is not enough people that understand the urgency of the moment. There is a certain urgency that I feel it's like a five alarm fire in my heart, my mind of my soul about the danger that would occur if these people take power. And I'm telling you, I can, I can cite you right now, polls telling us that Republicans will hold the Senate. There's a 67% chance Democrats would get the house. I can give you all that. It's meaningless to me. Because none of these people know how to pull anyway. So let's be straight about it. I'm just saying, you know, you have to treat this as if it is a presidential election year

30:04and that the country is on the ballot and the future for your children and grandchildren is on the ballot. Now, if that sounds a little over dramatic, take it for what is worth. I am not lying to you. That's all I'll tell you. I know these people. I know what they're capable of. I know what their real agenda is and they mean it when people tell you they're going to do these things. Believe them. I'm not sure why people won't believe it. Anyway, I appreciate your call, Robert. Thank you. 89041 Sean is our number. If you want to be a part of the program, we got so much more ground to cover. Wait a year. The next story we're going to do at the top of the next hour. I don't even want to tease it. I want you to tune in and listen to it. Listen, I want to talk directly to all of the great people in this country, the people that work hard, play by the rules, pay their taxes. And if you're a business owner, you're one of those people, you're achieving your American dream, but you just sacrificed a lot to get it. Look, you built your business from the ground up early mornings, late nights, weekends,

31:05you work day, you work nights, you're a worker, and you create jobs. You you work hard at your job, whatever you're doing with your life. It's what makes the country as great as it is. You're living out the American dream. It keeps America strong. And you are the embodiment of what freedom is all about. Sometimes then life gets in your way. COVID, you know what? That can get in the way of everybody's business and everybody's careers. And you know, things, you know, people, for example, if you own a business, you find a fall behind on payroll taxes, what do you do? Well, if you get one of those scary letters from the IRS and they are scary for most people and they are anxiety producing for most people, when you get it, what have we learned in the last decade from rush tax resolution.com. Don't deal with the IRS on your own. If you're a business owner, they can shut down your business, come after you personally. Don't risk everything you work so hard to build. They've been doing this. They've been on this show for more than a decade.

32:06I know them. There are a lot of pretenders out there. Don't get burned by them. The people at rush tax resolution.com, they are the real deal that great at what they do. For free, no consultation at all cost. They will, they will look over your situation. They'll only take your case if they know they can help you. Hall toll free.

A new podcast series, Fault Line Haditha, tells the story of a shocking crime and a cover-up at the highest levels of the United States Marine Corps. If you've got five players and you offer immunity to four, you better be right about the fifth. Because if you're not, then you've just given immunity to your color.
