In the year 2525, if man is still alive, if woman can survive, they may fly. In the year 2535, he's gonna need to tell a truth, they'll realize everything you think You and say, isn't the field you took today? In the year 2545, we're gonna need good people to find your life, you won't find the same truth. Nobody's gonna look at you, in the year 55, 55, your arms are in the limit, pass your sight.
Your legs got nothing to do, some machines doing that for you. In the year 6565, they're gonna need no husband or meat, no wife, you'll make your son make good oughter too. I'm the bottom of a long life to go. In the year 75, if God's a common, he oughta make it by then, maybe he'll look around himself and say, yes it's time for the judgment day. In the year 2535, God is gonna shake his mind in bed, he'll either say a piece or a band has to, or tear it down and start a dream of war.
In the year 5565, I'm gonna wonder if man is gonna be alive, he's taken everything this old earth can do, and the years but back nothing won't walk. Now it's been 10,000 years, man has cried a billion tears, for what he never knew, now man's reign is true, but through eternal night, the twinkling of starlight, so very far away, maybe it's only a stir day. In the year 2525, if man is still alive, he'll walk for the pants survive, if man dies. Welcome back my friends for the second hour, and this will be somewhat of an unusual hour.
Justin and Elsmith has been overloading me with a very intense amount of pieces, publication, and the piece I'm about to share with you is something I was not going to release until September 11th, and I made a decision that what the basis is of this goes far beyond September 11th of that year. So in simple terms I could ask you a question, where were you when the world stopped turning? And what if anything have we learned in all of these years?
25 years after September 11th my friends, I submit to you, Justin Smith submits to you, that America has failed to learn one damned thing. When our leaders first let Muslims to immigrate to America and set up shop, so to speak, with all that means it was the greatest mistake that any past leaders had ever made in all of American history. And I believe Justin says, what we have witnessed from this demographic within our country bears out the truth of my assertion. In 2010 he'd already been tracking Muslim immigration and population numbers in America for over 30 years. And from his own research taking in the top studies of the day there were 10 million Muslims in America at that time, contrary to the three million suggested by the US census for that year.
And those numbers have grown exponentially by millions more, giving the numbers of refugees that fled to America during our wars in Iraq and Syria and Afghanistan to the absolute readily observable detriment of all America. And America's communists believe they are in a seedings today and about to take the nation. But when one looks closely at the red-green alliance between the Democratic Party and the Democratic Socialists of America and Islam in America, it appears that America's Muslims are wagging the dog, so to speak, and have largely taken control over the political narrative on the far left today, advancing an agenda that benefits then far more than anyone else in this country. And we may never be able to completely rid the land of Muslims and communists, but we must fight like hell to cleanse our country of their presence using every goddamn tool and means at our disposal.
Or simply watch as the American people fall trap of control, oppression and tyranny. Or Christianity and liberty will be eradicated for the most part. But people will say, oh, well, that will never happen here, even as it already has. At the end of Justin's introduction, which was never written or considered as an introduction, these were notes to me, the publisher of Federal Observer. It was his introduction to what he was about to submit. Justin does not apologize for the looseness of his words throughout this column. But I not only forgive him, but fully understand the anger within him, as I've had the same feelings after all these years.
For the life of me, Justin began. I will never understand what prevented us from removing every damn Muslim from this country, citizen or not, right then in that very moment in those days and weeks and months in the immediate aftermath of the September 11th, 2001 Islamic terrorist attack. Other than we were under the leadership of a feckless fool, one George Bush, whose own administration had been heavily infiltrated by Muslims at that very time, thanks to Grover, Northwest Bush's key political ally and strategist. Justin has fought the spread of Islam in America since 1979. And he knows he'll continue to fight until his last dying gas. However best he can, but to do otherwise would be to betray my children.
And grandchildren, he says, and great grandchildren, do a fate that I would not wish on any true American and anybody who loves liberty and life itself. Think of September 11th, 2001, and the horrific murderous Islamic terrorist attacks made against America on that day. And it's hard for most Americans, at least those of us who love our country and who are alive to witness them in real time, either because they were actually there or saw it live. As the newscast flashed the deadly bloody violence of it all across their television screens to understand exactly why a short 25 years later, we as a people have an absolutely Christian Islam in America and force every last damned anti-American, anti-Christian Muslim supremacist rat bastard from our domain. And far and away from our shores for all time.
And it's damn hard to understand why any American still stands silent or passively nodding in agreement and appeasement is he's rat bastard sons of Muhammad lecture us on how victimized they have felt living in America since September 11th. And how horrible it is to experience Islamophobia when we all witness one Islamic terror attack for another emanate from this satanic death loving death dealing Islamic ideology of conquest over the past 25 years from Bakersfield to Boston and even on the chat in Newfound so many other cities. Well, sheer idiocy went out from our so called leaders by way of absolute lies and their assurance that Islam is a religion of beats as they place Muslims within high offices and throughout our intelligence services and went so far as to warn the FBI to stop profiling Muslims as potential terrorists.
A religion of peace like hell it is stop trying to gaslight America stop trying to make us accept our own cultural and national suicide by way of this ideology that is aligned itself with other enemies from within for the purpose of destroying our republic and America herself. Those democratic socialists of America were largely communist in Muslims using the DSA as a Trojan horse for the very same Islamic or Islam not moderate not radical but just Islam that murdered our friends and our family and our fellow Americans. Like so many good and decent Americans who live through that day I suspect I can replay every terrible moment in my mind. The blurry faces hanging from windows the fear and the horror etched across the faces of those survivors on the ground trying to navigate their way to safety through the heavy smoke in the ash and for days.
The silence that seemed to fall over America society is so many of us rush to help however best we could. My friends are comes a moment in the life of every nation when the danger before it is no longer merely the danger of an enemy at the border an army across an ocean or a missile and a launch pad. But the danger of its own refusal to see what stands directly before its eyes. Nations can survive enemies and America survived them before now we have survived empires dictators armies ideologies economic collapse world wars cold wars threats. So efficient to make lesser civilizations abandoned hope. What a free people cannot survive however is the gradual loss of the ability to distinguish tolerance from surrender compassion from naivete liberty from license and a genuine commitment to individual rights from the suicidal unwillingness to defend the civil society.
To then the civilization upon which those rights depend before I continue and I've stated this fact over the years federal observer was founded approximately seven weeks before 9-11. And it survives to this day. As America approaches the 25th anniversary of September 11th 2001. The questions we posed thus far. And the question which should trouble as far more deeply than another ritual speech another wreath another televised montage of the twin towers ablaze and a towering inferno finally tumbling down in a single minute.
Crying families politicians promising that we will never forget. The question is whether or not we have forgotten precisely what we promise never to forget. We're unbelievable. In the early 25 years of past since all America witnessed their federal countrymen those New Yorkers. Rise to see one more sunrise and get up to go to work. Like it was any other day. Only to be forced to make the last choice of their lives. The impossible choice between burning alive or jumping from the top of the twin towers images that still make me choke back hot to this day. Allow me to interject something here.
On that date. I was actually my my my nightly broadcast at W. W. C. R. was an eating program. I was filling in for another broadcaster at W. W. C. R. Who had reached a point that he could no longer afford to be there. It was an expensive place to broadcast. The listening audience was unbelievable. 15 minutes before I went on the air that morning. I received a phone call from Dr. Kelly's son asking if I knew what was going on and he told me. And I turned to television on moments later I had a call from New York. Brothers moved my Vietnam buddy.
Same thing. I have that entire two hour broadcast that day recorded. I lost one of the hours some years ago. I came across it about a month ago. I've seriously considered rearing it. But I'm not sure I want to do that. Let's move on. On that day, my friends. America. We opened our arms to the world. And yet all we got was kicked in the teeth for our efforts. Our people murdered. Chaos in our streets. Why? Are any of you? Why are any Americans allowing Muslims to lecture?
On a damn thing. To angrily declare that America is violent and evil when all we've ever done is defend and protect ourselves from violent people. Just like them. And the better question is why in the hell and in the name of King John the third? Lobie Eskier. We still allowing thousands of Muslims to continue to legally immigrate to America. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of Muslims who entered both legally and illegally during the Obama and Biden regimes. We shouldn't let one damn more Muslim get off a plane or a boat or set foot on American soil for any reason. As a matter of fact, we should be deporting every non-citizen Muslim and denaturalizing Muslims who have openly called for Islamic supremacy over America. And exiling them from America forever.
You know, US citizenship is supposed to mean more than occupying territory and acquiring access to the benefits produced by generations of Americans who built our American civilization long before these bastards arrived. A sovereign republic possesses not merely the right, the obligation to determine who may enter its territory and under what conditions. Immigration is not supposed to be an act of national suicide. It's not about to accept every applicant without discrimination between friend and enemy or law abiding newcomer and criminal. A peaceful immigrant and ideological revolutionary. Nor is citizenship an empty administrative certificate that demands nothing of the person who receives it. A nation that cannot ask whether those entering its territory except its fundamental constitutional order has surrendered one of the most elementary responsibilities of self-government.
The threat is not found in any private worship of peaceful citizens. But within the Muslim community in America, the threat is their sharia law doctrine that treats constitutional liberty as something to exploit until they have sufficient numbers and sufficient power accumulated to abolish it. And as far to any Americans, millions of us in fact who are either dumb as a rock or so indoctrinated in the communist and Muslim ideologies that they just don't give it damn. Muslim especially. Way too many of our leaders scattered throughout municipalities and mayors and governors serving in federal capacities behave as though vigilance itself is intolerance. In essence, we have fools at all levels of government who regularity suggests that Islam cannot be examined too closely. Because by examining it and its inheritance, we may make Muslims uncomfortable.
I don't give a good damn if any Muslim is made to feel uncomfortable, not after what we witnessed emanate from their ranks and the halls of their mosques over my lifetime. All of our lifetimes. To the great harm of good indecent Americans across the country and people everywhere across the globe. Why the hell do people sit by calmly and passively as Muslims such as Hassan Piker say that we deserve 9-11 as he suggested someone ought to give Saudi Arabia a nuclear weapon and pray they use it for an even worse, more deadly September 11th, 2.0 attack. And Imam's across the country and preach there not here is obedience citizens who wish to assimilate but as Muslims who will one day see Islam reign supreme across America.
And the Islamic flag fly above the White House. Hassan Piker. A biallately anti-Semitic anti-American Muslim has recently stated that I say I hate America all the time. Because I do hate America. And I wipe my ass with the constitution he says it's an epic piece of paper mother F the constitution and mother F this country. With 10 million followers on his podcast. My friends it is not hard to conclude that there exists many more Muslims with the very same attitude as Piker. Who by the way was born in Jersey but raised in Turkey only to return to America for his college years. On one of his podcast Piker says we're going to keep bringing immigrants into this country on purpose just so they can fuck your sister.
And then maybe even your daughter we're going to destroy the white race bitch. That's what we're here to do. Sorry for my language folks but that's the man's direct quote. And these are the nature of the kind of people we're dealing with. Muslims want to live here they hate us. Oh but they don't turn down the benefits they receive for living here. If they hate us so much let's get them out of the country make them hate us from somewhere else like one of the many Islamic nations they refuse to take Palestinian refugees in order to keep the political optics of the poor mistreated Muslim. Even though their leaders and people have been responsible for thousands of terrorist attacks around the world since the sovereign Jewish state of Israel declared its independence in 1948. Why why are they still appeasing these anti-American mother-eppers and acting like dirtbag cowards to a friend afraid to defend their families and their communities from what.
Fear of being called names like racist or Islamophobic or a bigot. I don't give a damn about Muslims but hurt feelings of their cries of Islamophobia not when they're rioting in our streets and calling for the globalization of the Intifada in their kefis waiting their Palestinian and. I can't find a flag called America big Satan attacking innocent people in our streets. I don't give a good damn about Muslims feelings when a. You gunned in Muslims sits in New York city's mayors office criticizing America and citing with her enemies. As he breaks bread and praise during Ramadan with his Islamophobic buddies all of whom are on record supporting terrorism shortly after a son of Mohammed peace of shit attacked a synagogue in a preschool in West Bloomfield Michigan in March of this year.
Oh I told you the language in this piece that Justin is written would be a little arch. And I know that some of you are offended but it's a reality factor. In a photo taken in October of last year during his campaign for mayor one sees saw Mondami laughing and grinning and standing arm and arm with Siraj Warhaj. A New York Imam at his bedfurt stifus in mosque. Well, Hizh is on the record a short two years after 9 11 and quoted in the Wall Street Journal on October 4 of 2003 as he stated Islam is better than democracy. Al-A'ul Qawz is deen Islam as a way of life complete submission Islam to prevail over every kind of system and you know what it will happen. And he then gave the opinion that if al-A'ul says 100 strikes 100 strikes it will be if al-A'ul says cut off their hand you cut off their hand if al-A'ul says stone them the death through the prophet Muhammad then you stone them the death because it's the obedience of al-A'ul and his messenger nothing personal.
And then we have the radical Islam of fashus running for the senate in Michigan Abdul is said who is a witness advocating on behalf of Sheikh Omar. Abdel-Faraman Akha aka the blind blind sheik during his nineteen ninety five trial for the nineteen ninety three bombing at the World Trade Center. He's currently ahead over Mike Rogers in the polls by four to seven points. Muslim leaders in America have always spoken openly about the conquest and the Islamization of America. If only amongst themselves in an Arabic to their congregants and followers. But today they state the subjective into the cameras of major news stations in perfect English telling America plainly and bluntly of their intentions to turn us into a conquered people.
And we don't listen to you. This is unfriicken believable. People are quick to tell us that not all Muslims are terrorists and to them I say if they are true Muslims they are all potential terrorists. Waiting for some imams or ayatollahs faqwa to be issued that commands them to do violence and wage holy war against the infidel whoever the target may be for that day or year or decade or two. Every time America's been hit by an Islamic terror attack there have been no denunciations by the Muslim leaders of the fifty seven Islamic nations. But only tears raising up in the worldwide Muslim community even here in America where many of the Islamic terrorists of the twenty first century were born and raised as the guns were fired into unarmed crowds of innocent citizens.
Cars plowed through crowds over the bodies of the innocent and shrapnel from bombs cut through the fresh flesh and bone of innocent Americans. Back in time we remember the smoke. We remember the fire. We remember the people jumping from windows hundreds of feet above the ground because fire and gravity have conspired to offer them no third choice. We remember the photographs of missing fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, husbands, wives, firefighters, police officers, office workers, travelers and strangers. We remember the towers collapsing in a thunderous roar that seemed to tear a hole through the American imagination itself. We remember the Pentagon burning. We remember a field in Pennsylvania where ordinary citizens learned in the final minutes of their lives that courage sometimes consists of charging toward death rather than waiting helplessly for it to arrive.
We remember the names. But then there is slogans. Never forget. Never again. Those slogans just aren't enough. Not when they're simply given meaningless lip service without any action to back them up. Do you get it? Never forget. Hell has an American already forgotten when the anti-American ignorant ass dumbasses are out campaigning for melee mouth, vile vulgar anti-American Muslims, boating for them and getting them elected in primaries and general elections for mayor seats and house and senate seats all across the country all across America. Many U.S. cities such as Patterson, New Jersey, Hamtramik, Michigan, Dearborn, Michigan, College Park, Maryland.
They have Muslim mayors and Muslim majority city councils today with many more projected to win elections in 2026 and 2028. In Patterson, New Jersey, its largest mosque, the Islamic Center of Paseya County, is operated by an Imam whose brother-in-law was a senior Hamas commander in the West Bank where he orchestrated numerous suicide bombings. And this Imam, Muhammad Katanani, served time in Israel prison for his own confest ties to Hamas terrorists. And yet in 2024 he was presented the keys to the city by Patterson's mayor. And ironically the Democratic governor, Mikey Sherrell recently snapped a selfie with Katani. And she even covered her head with a hijab in an overt act of Islamic appeasement.
My friends, these cities have been conquered. No other statement properly describes the reality of this situation. No matter how much the Democratic Party and the Democratic Socialist of America pretended Islam is compatible with American ideas and her virtues and principles. Islam is not, and in fact Islam is completely and totally antiethical to America's founding principles. And the growth of Islam and all its anti-American components in America represent an existential threat to our country's survival. And many other Americans are submitting to Muslim demands in order to appease them. And they don't want to offend these over-sensitive Muslim time bombs. And the week following August 21st, 2026 Maggie Litz-Domanowski, a member of the Baltimore County Board of Education, shared a peanut scar tune of Linus holding a sign that reads,
if you fear mega will take away women's rights and you should learn about Sharia law. And above it she wrote the words not wrong. And by the following Monday she had taken it down after being contacted by the foreign Islamic terrorist organizations operating within American borders known as CARE, C-A-I-R, which demanded an apology. I want to see you apologize and made CARE MATERES submit an American soil on American soil against everything that should have screamed within her not to do so. That would have been delivered by Justin Smith and a bunderings shout for them to go F themselves had Justin been in her shoes. And adding insult to injury at the very beginning of 2026 governor, Kathy Holtchul of New York, welcomed in the New York in the New Year by declaring January is Muslim American Heritage Month.
And a red blooded American Patriots dismay, Holtchul directed state landmarks, including the iconic skyline of New York City to be lit in the color of Islamic grain. One sees the situation is even worse. In that the one world trade center was also lit up in the Islamic green, the exact location where Islamic terrorists flew planes into the twin towers on September 11 of 2001 killing thousands of innocent Americans. I friends, this was a slap in the face to the families of nearly 3000 victims who were murdered thousands injured in this extremely terrible and tragic day. I never thought I'd see something like this in my lifetime. But for years the radical left the Marxist Maoist, the globalist, the deep state of colluded with the terrorist organization that the council on American and Islamic relations and the Muslim brotherhood and Hamas and the Islamic society of North America to destroy this country.
Oh, and they found a way to flood our communities with third world Muslims is only goal is not to assassinate but to destroy the rest, the West and create a worldwide caliphate. If you don't understand what that looks like, just take a look at Eurebia today. Those 19 hijackers did not awaken one morning and accidentally become murders. They did not hijack jet airplanes because of misunderstanding. They did not crash those jet passenger airliners into the twin towers because someone had hurt their feelings or failed to accommodate their culture or refused to respect their sensitivities. They belonged to a violent Islamic jihadist movement with a worldview, an ideology, a body of quasi religious and political arguments and an understanding of the relationship between Islam, power, believers, nonbelievers and infidels,
military, law and warfare that was utterly incompatible with the American civilization they attacked. Oh, and one does not honor the dead of September 11th by demanding that Americans forget the nature of the enemy who murdered them. And this approaching 25th anniversary of September 11th should force all America to confront another uncomfortable truth. A civilization cannot defend itself by insisting that everyone else must understand it. Enemies do not disappear because we refuse to name them. Ideological hostility does not become harmless because officials adopt a softer tone in vocabulary when they speak. And anti-American ideologies that support terrorism are not defeated through public relations campaigns designed to assure Americans a danger does not exist.
My friends Americans, we Americans make a huge mistake when we believe that constitutional plural plural, plural, little kidding, pronounce the word pluralism requires cultural and ideological passivity. It does not. The first amendment is not a suicide pact. And even Islam was a true religion rather than the ideology of conquest that it is. Religious liberty does not require national blindness. Freedom of speech does not require the government to subsidize every ideology. Equal protection does not require Americans to pretend that all political and ideological programs are equally compatible with liberty. Are you beginning to understand it? Those who built the American Republic, those men who built the American Republic did not believe that liberty meant the absence of judgment.
They believe that liberty required citizens capable of judgment. And self-government re-supposes discernment. A people incapable of distinguishing between constitutional government and liberty. Constitutional government and tyranny. Between peaceful belief and violent coercion. Between immigration and infiltration by genuine hostile networks. Would eventually awaken one day to discover that tolerance without judgment is merely surrender of the field to those who possessed judgment of their own. An ambition enough to act upon it. Americans who loved this country. In America what she was prior to the hordes of Muslims that arrived upon her shores. Need to awake the hell up now to understand what is happening.
We all need to join together in strong firm opposition to all Muslim immigration. In the spread of Islam in America as they finally delivered a message loud and clear. That enough is enough. That's the message that must come from us. We the people. No matter what else any of you do, all of us should fight like hell to ensure that our children and grandchildren will grow up in a country. America very similar to the one that I and a lot of other people had a chance to grow up in. The greatest country in the face of the earth. Folks wake up. The most vile ideology known to man. The bane of all humanity and its tyrannical hordes are here. 25 years after there's sons of Mohammed murdered 3,000 of our countrymen in cold blood.
The enemies inside the gates my friends and our countries in bad trouble. If we don't stop them dead in their tracks. We will lose this country. Just an old Smith. I know this has been a very tough 40 some odd minutes. It is very difficult. Presentation to share. When Justin submitted this to me, I know he did not expect me to publish it for probably two or three days prior to the anniversary of 9-11. But there were reasons I felt there was a stronger need to do it now.
To begin to shake our thought process to shake our memories. I don't want to wait until September 11th to remember what we went through that day. This article has already been published on federalobserver.com. I don't know if we can do anything with it. Let's see if you can post that. It is an MSNBC video of former Bush chief of staff talking about how he notified President Bush about what was taking place.
And I don't know how long the thing is, but we've got some time we can hear this. Yeah, can we? How long is it? Very with us, folks. How long you think it is? Let's go ahead and run it. The morning of September 11th attacks, President George W. Bush was in Sarasota, Florida, visiting a second grade class at the MLE Booker Elementary School. He was reading them a children's book, the pet goat. When shortly after 9 a.m. after a second plane had struck the World Trade Center, White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card interrupted the President to whisper calmly out of the children's earshot that America was under attack.
Joining me now from Ground Zero is Andrew Card, former White House Chief of Staff to George W. Bush and former Transportation Secretary as well. Andy Card, it's great to see you again, especially on this day because I want to talk to you about that moment. What went into your thinking? You had clearly heard from the situation room that you'd been notified. So how did you decide how to notify the President of the horror? Well, first of all, Andrew, thank you for having me on. It's important that everyone reflect on what happened 20 years ago. Yes, I was standing in a holding room. The President was standing with the principal, and I was right next to the principal, when Deb Lauer, who was a Navy captain, in charge of the situation room at the White House and the acting National Security Advisor on the trip to Florida, came up to the President and said, Sir, it appears a small twin engine prop plane crashed into one of the towers at the World Trade Center in New York City. The principal, the President and I all had the same reaction, oh, what a horrible accident the pilot must have had a heart attack this something.
And then the principal opened the door to the classroom, and she and the President went into the classroom, the door shut. Captain Lauer came up to me and said, Sir, it appears it was not a small twin engine prop plane, it was a commercial jet liner. I thought about the fear, the passengers on the plane must have had, they must have known it was losing altitude. I don't know why that's where my mind went, but that's where it went. But that was only an nanosecond because Deb Lauer came up to me and said, oh, my God, another plane hit the other tower at the World Trade Center in New York City. I then flashed the initials, UBL, Osama bin Laden. I knew about the attacks in the World Trade Center in early 1993 in February of 1993. And I knew that this was not a coincidence and not an accident. And I performed the test, the Chiefs of Staff performed all the time. Does the President need to know? Yes, he needs to know. I decided to pass on two facts, make one editorial comment, open the door and didn't want to interrupt the dialogue that the teacher, Mrs. Daniels was orchestrating between the President and the students.
But when she told the students to take out their books, the pet goat, they reached under their chairs and that's when I went up to the President and whispered into his ear. A second plane hit the second tower of America is under attack. And you did that so calmly and then he reacted so calmly because you didn't want to alarm the children. You didn't want to, you know, for the media to start running with all kinds of questions and rumors because you wanted to protect the kids from being part of that horror. I was very focused on being cool, calm, collected and I wanted to help the President make top decisions without being driven by the emotions of the day and make sound decisions. So I actually thought about my responsibilities and I was going to be very careful to tell him things we knew to be true and not overstate things and not to be contagious with emotions that would have compromised his ability to make top decisions.
I was also pleased with how the President on his own reacted when I whispered into his ear. He did nothing to generate fear in those young students. He did nothing to demonstrate fear to the media that would have translated the satisfaction of the terrorists all around the world. But I also think that he would be reflecting on the unique, truly unique responsibility that he had as President of the United States because he took that oath to protect and preserve our Constitution. And all of us, and he wanted to take that seriously, you know, no longer was his Presidency about his agenda. It was about the oath that he took. And I'm proud to say he kept that oath. Thanks to the men and women who answered the call to duty that showed up to help him keep his oath and we didn't have any other attacks orchestrated from Afghanistan for 20 years. We talked to me about going on Air Force one because the Secret Service did not want him to go back to the White House. We did not know whether the Capitol was under attack or not.
Once the Pentagon had been hit, of course, and the third plane. So you're on Air Force one and he wants to go back. He wanted to go back. We found out that the Pentagon had been hit when we were in the limousine driving to the Air Force one. Clearly, the pilot of Air Force one wanted to take off very quickly. The Yendreds were running before the President even got on the plane and you know Andrew, that's a protocol, no, no. But as the plane was lifting off, they were shutting the doors. We were buckling up in our seats and we went up to 48,000 feet, waiting for fighter jets to come up to us and deciding where to go. The President wanted to go back to Washington, DC and I'm telling him Mr. President, I understand that, but I don't think you want to make that decision right now. Over the course of probably 20 minutes, he got increasingly agitated with me because he said we are going back to Washington, DC and of course the pilot of Air Force one did not want to go to Andrews without knowing it would be safe to land. And the Secret Service said that they were very concerned about going back to the White House.
In addition, the White House had been emptied of its staff. When the attack on the Pentagon happened, they were definitely pushed out of the White House. So there was nobody in the White House to even help him do his job. We had to do the job on Air Force one, then it boxed the Air Force space, then strategic air command and Omaha, Nebraska. But then we went back to Washington, DC. A thankful day and for you, thanks to you for sharing those thoughts with us. Andy Card, the former Chief of Staff, of course, on 9-11, was with the President when all that happened. For found stuff. I came across that video the other day we've got it posted on Justin Smith's article. And I felt it was important. I was no fan of Bush, but let's be honest.
We were all struck on that day. But the problem is, is too many people were struck on that day. Oh, and a few days longer. But my friends, so many in this country have forgotten what took place that day and what had taken place some years earlier. When the attempt to take those towers down, why did we learn the first time? It's insane. The images that I've collected over the years that I have stored in my catalog at Federal Observer.
And if there's one picture that affects me more than any, and I've used this picture also in Justin's article today. The pieces of destroyed building, the firemen standing at the foot of a cross that was not made. It was created by the bombing. And all I've stated in that picture is, remember. It's so much to look back. One of the things that I did is I published. Copy in New York Times. It is September 12th, the day after the attack.
And the headline was US attacked, hijacked, jets destroyed twin towers and hit Pentagon in day of terror. President vows to exact punishment for evil. But you see, that's a real problem. Because that president did not exact punishment for evil. No president since George Bush has exacted punishment for evil. Americans as a whole have not created exact punishment for the evil. We've accepted it. And we've allowed it. We've continued to allow that to take over. And we've allowed people into one form of office after another.
Wasn't the hell's wrong with people in his country. It makes me want to bomb it. We. I've been trying to reach Mike, but he must have been sidetracked. Okay, is that directly from the beginning of the song? Or can you include the, can we start it from the very beginning with the introduction? That's not a lot. Okay. We're going to pose a program with the song, Alan Jackson. There you go.
With his Nashville performance of Where Were You When The World Stop Turning. Here is Alan Jackson. Where were you when the world stopped turning? And that's September day. You and the yard with your wife and children working on some stage in LA. Did you stand there and shot the side of the black smoke rising against that blue sky? Did you shout out in anger and fear for your neighbor? Did you just sit down and cry? Did you wait for the children? Lost their loved ones, prayed for the ones who don't know.
Did you rejoice for the people who walk from the rubble? Sad for the ones left below? Did you burst out with pride for the rent by the blue? The heroes who died just doing what they did? Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer? Look at yourself and what really matters? Just a singer of simple songs I'm not a real political man. I watch seeing him but I'm not sure I can tell you the difference in I rock and I rip. But I know Jesus and I talk to God and I remember this when I was young. Faithful in love are some good things he gave us. The greatest is love.
Where were you when the world stopped turning? And that's September day. Teaching a class full of innocent children who are driving down on some cold interstate. Did you feel guilty as you're a survivor? You cried in room and you feel alone? Did you call up your mother? Tell her you loved her? Did you dust off at Bible at home? Did you open your eyes? Hope it never happened. Close your eyes and not go to sleep. Did you notice the sunset? The first time in ages? Speak to some stranger all the street. Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow? Go out and buy you a gun.
Did you turn off that violin home movie? Watching you turn on out of the series? Did you go to church? All hands with some stranger. Standing light and give your own blood. Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family? They got you and somebody to love. Just a singer of several songs. I'm not a real political man. I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you. The difference in our record and our role. I'm old Jesus and I talk to God. And I remember this when I was young. Faithful, beloved, our son of a thing as he gave us. The greatest is love.
The greatest is love. The greatest is love. Where were you in the world? Stop turning. On that September day. Good day, Arby and supporters.
