love from him and his son. >> greg: i'm still blown away by this news and i think -- if i feel this way i can't imagine how they are feeling. >> kimberly: we're out of time. >> sean: many thanks to all our friends on "the five". this is a fox news alert. an important opening monologue about how the country could actually come together during difficult times as we now remember the day the 16th anniversary of 9/11 coming up in a few minutes. first tonight the city of jacksonville, florida is seeing record flooding. millions in that state are still without power and now tropical storm irma is bringing its devastation to the state of georgia. on the ground tonight in columbus, georgia, our friend fox news correspondent at large. i don't know how he got down there. geraldo rivera. what's going on? >> to tell you how i got down here, we landed in charlotte, north carolina, believe it or not. the closest airport and drove

down to augusta, georgia to atlanta, georgia to where tropical storm irma was visiting its wrath. trees were down every quarter of a mile a big tree across the road. all the way to atlanta. atlanta hartsville airport, the world's busiest airport hopelessly disrupted today. thousands of flights canceled. southwest had no flights, delta a handful. they canceled over 3,000 of their flights. the rapid transit in atlanta was closed all day today. monday. now we're down in fort benning, the sprawling army base that straddles the georgia/alabama line. irma passing through here now. this is the back side of the storm. not much going on. before i talked to the garrison commander we were at the chattahooche river there was tremendous flooding back in the day 1990s and then in 2009 hurricane irma came by and

really visited some real wrath on the peach tree state. now you have a situation where here in fort benning they are gearing up to help in the relief effort. before we get there at the chattahooche river you won't believe what we sau. we interviewed the mayor. her town of 200,000, columbus, georgia. 30,000 of the folks in town have lost their power but as we were doing an interview with the mayor, you watch. here is mayor tomlinson. >> we're about in the eye of the storm right now. we really have gotten to where we got past the northern part and it was about 40 to 50 mile-an-hour winds there. we were thinking about 7 inches of rain. irma has sheared off and i think we must have caught a break. >> i saw two knuckle heads jumping in the chattahoochee river and swimming through the rapids. >> they are are knuckle heads.

those are class three rapids. at this point much higher than that because of the volume and they were very much in danger. but luck was with them in evening and they got out. >> looks like your first responders on the job. >> we have a swift water rescue team with class four and class five rapids on the other side of the river. every now and then there are a foolish person or two. >> here is the commander at fort benning. over 100,000 military personnel and civilians are at the base on a regular basis. we haven't seen you since kuwait when you were a captain. usually the military is not involved in domestic affairs like storms and so forth but you're all geared up. how does it feel to be a first responder in a sense? >> this is what we do. we protect the american people every single day.

whether that's on foreign soil or here domestically. this is what we do. we've been designated by fema as an incident support base and we will be ready to receive all of the supporters that will head down to florida to help take care of the folks down there. >> thoughts on 9/11. >> it is our day of remembrance. the good thing about the storm was we were able to be home with our families for a lot of us to remember those things that we all know. we had a lot of things scheduled today. a run, we had a luncheon this afternoon. got wiped out by the weather but at least we had folks home with their families and they're all safe and sound and all accounted for today. >> sean, i know you have a round robin of brave reporters but the tropical storm is heading into alabama and then going all the way, i think, up to indiana. you have storm trackers with more expertise than i. i wish you were here. we could have visited your home

in florida together. i hope all is well with you. >> sean: why does geraldo always have a police car next to him with lights whizzing around? >> to keep the traffic from killing me in this case. >> sean: that's probably true. listen, please tell all our friends all these people that sacrificed, offered their professionalism and training and expertise, we really thank them. they've done amazing work both in texas and florida. we can't thank these guys enough and on the 16th anniversary of 9/11 and the five-year anniversary of benghazi all those heroes shows how great this country can be, geraldo. thank you. >> roger that, sean. >> sean: hurricane irma left a trail of destruction throughout the state of florida. on the ground with the very latest. southwest florida my second home in naples, steve harrigan. >> sean, it's pitch black in naples.

200,000 people without electric power in collier county. across the state of florida six million people without power. more than 50,000 power workers from across the u.s. and canada are on their way to florida to try and help get power up. it will be tough in the heat here with no air conditioning running. as far as the damage goes, you can get a good look across the naples area. a lot of huge trees pulled up from the roots. wind gusts got over 140 miles an hour. downed power lines as well. tough to get around on the roads with the stop lines not working. the real challenge will be to get the power up. there is some flooding in some areas as well, too. three to four feet of flooding in some mobile home areas. that will a problem. the most dangerous thing that people were worried about before the storm hit here was a possible surge of 10 to 15 feet. because the storm was weaker than expected on the back end, that did not happen.

while hard times here right now no deaths reported from this storm here. sean, back to you. >> sean: all right, thanks god. they were worried because hurricane andrew had a bigger surge and so they thought it was very possible. they took all the precautions and even the police department in collier county. i know the sheriff of lee county. amazing job they've done. steve, thank you. live in florida tonight rick leventhal in daytona beach. what's going on there tonight? >> a county-wide curfew went into effect from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. because of the flooded streets and debris in the roads and 150 traffic lights that got knocked out by the storm that jumped 8 to 12 inches of rain in a short period of time bringing tropical storm-force winds for 12 hours overnight along with hurricane force wind gusts. the results worse than expected by many people here since the storm had turned west and spared the east coast a direct hit. we saw countless trees down and

signs damaged and store fronts smashed and some vehicles swamped and actually the hardest-hit area was in orman beach a few miles away where the sheriff and locals say a tornado touched down between 9:00 and 9:30 last night. the damages seem to support that claim with a line of uprooted trees and downed utilities polls and roofs ripped off and deposited in neighbor's yard or the middle of the street a block away. hundreds of thousands of people remain in the dark here tonight and can probably expect the lights will remain off for some time to come. >> sean: all right, rick leventhal on the ground in daytona beach, florida. thank you. also on the ground tonight in tampa, florida, mike tobin. what's going on there? they were hit less hard than they anticipated, thank god. >> the way one cop put it to me as the storm was abating this town got lucky.

the biggest issue they're facing is power outages. tampa electric alone 333,000 people are without power. crews were staged ahead of the storm but they were staged out of harm's way so that means they have to spend the day driving. the work starts tomorrow. there are communities that say it will be weeks before the power is turned back on. tampa electric says the lights will be back on in a matter of days. the biggest culprit was downed trees. leslie wilson knows that well. she had a giant tree in her front yard that crashed down in the middle of the storm. she is just glad that no one was injured. there was a steeple on the historic new salem baptist church that got ripped off during the course of the storm. the pastor was there making repairs today. he says he thanks god that no one was hurt and says with a new hole in the roof you can see all the way to heaven. schools are trying to get back to normal operations hopefully by thursday. the st. peter, clear water international airport is resuming flights tomorrow. sean.

>> sean: mike tobin, thanks. when we come back, good versus evil. the best and worst in humanity. 16 years after 9/11/2001. texas, florida, we'll have a monologue about government good and evil. government working and not working and the best of america and some of the worst. we have disturbing reports of video out of florida looting taking place in the wake of hurricane irma and price gouging. the attorney general, pam bondi is next and our monologue straight ahead. gentle dependable relief. suppositories for relief in minutes. and dulcoease for comfortable relief of hard stools. dulcolax. designed for dependable relief.

>> sean: welcome back to "hannity". as americans come to terms with the hurricane damage. we're reminded of the 16th anniversary of 9/11, 2001. tragedy, evil, heartbreak, loss. we see the very best in the midst of that and sometimes the very worst this people in this country. i have to tell you that's tonight's important monologue. now we have tropical storm irma pounding georgia on its way to tennessee. floridians are beginning to assess the damage and devastation caused by the storm

and thankfully like we saw with hurricane harvey in texas, government, state, local, federal officials are actually on their game. they were more than prepared. they have been responding in the best way possible to prevent widespread loss of life and you know what? it's good to see that. we're seeing the best from you, the american people in areas that are directly impacted neighbor helping neighbor and that has expanded out with so many other americans volunteering, donating money, food, water, supplies, baby formula, cots, blankets and pillows. everything that fellow americans need. and like we saw in texas, you know what? it's good to see as a small government conservative finally government can work and there can be coordination between local, federal and state governments. the governors great. federal and local officials have been great. unfortunately in florida we're seeing some of the worst but it is a select few americans. look at this sad video. people looting during the hurricane in fort lauderdale.

authorities are saying that so far nine people have been arrested for looting. miami-dade county police said 28 people have been arrested and due to what officials are saying safety concerns, that county is now under a 12-hour curfew that started at 7:00 p.m. earlier tonight. thankfully authorities are doing an excellent job of cracking down on that behavior. they hopefully will hold these people accountable for their actions and sadly reports a price gouging. gas, other vital items that the people of florida need are in short supply due to the hurricane and just take a look at a couple of these headlines. hurricane irma price gouging, scams, complete are more than 8,000. hurricane irma water selling high on amazon. florida attorney general pam bondi will react to all of this. i want to remind you 16 years ago today, america experienced pure unmitigated evil.

the attacks on the world trade center, the pentagon, the downing of united flight 93 that killed nearly 3,000 of our fellow citizens. now, these are images that will forever be burned into all of our memories and horrors we will never forget nor should we ever forget. what we're about to show you is graphic. i know some networks won't show it. it is important we never forget especially in light of the recent deal, why would we give money to north korea and iran? it is insanity. we have to know who our enemies are. al qaeda terrorists hijacked two commercial jets and flew them the world trade center and made them death traps. the flames were so hot people chose to jump to their death rather than be incinerated and then 56 minutes after the south tower was hit it came crashing down raining down tons of steel

debris, thick, gray ash and dust all over the streets of new york city and 30 minutes after the south tower fell, the north tower came down leaving behind nothing but misery, death, destruction, disdespair on a scale this country had never seen before. while innocent americans were fleeing for their lives we cannot forget this day. the brave men, women, the firefighters, the police, the first responders. while everybody is racing to get out of those buildings, they are going in the other direction risking their lives, going into danger trying to save as many of their fellow americans as possible. that day 343 firefighters and paramedics lost their lives. 23 nypd officers were killed that day. 37 port authority police officers made the ultimate sacrifice. this is what america is and what we stand for. let me add one other thing. so many men and women around this country signed up for the

military after 9/11. 5,500 lost their lives. many others with life debilitating injuries. all of them heroes. all of them fighting for us. all of them saving lives and they did it without thinking twice. they ran head first, all of them, into danger and just days after the city and country started to begin the process of recovery and eventually they started rebuilding in the same exact place where the twin towers once stood the freedom tower sits there at 1776 feet tall. this is the type of spirit and determination i argue america needs more than ever. the people in texas, the people in florida, the country, you know what? it's nice to see us unite for a little bit and for our leaders and government to do the same. and start getting things done that benefit the forgotten men and women in this country, you the american people. i've always been a small government conservative my entire life. the texas and florida

governors, lieutenant governors, attorney generals, pam bondi. president, local authorities, military all worked together in texas they all worked together in florida. it's refreshing. now i would argue this. it's time for congress to follow that example. follow that lead. start doing your job. it's like the american people are begging you build on this success in texas, florida, georgia, other states severely impacted by irma. give them the federal assistance they need to rebuild and you need to start passing the agenda you all promised the american people when you ran for office. people voted for you for that agenda. historic reagan tax reform the president is asking for. what's not -- cutting middle class tax rates and slashing corporate rates to 15% and

allowing coles to repatriate dollars from overseas so they can build factories and hire new workers and again create opportunity for americans. and building at least 300 miles of border wall to protect americans from people like al qaeda, other terrorist organizations. and it might be a good idea to do it in the next 14 weeks. you all promised this. especially energy independence the millions of high-paying career jobs we would have. replacing, repealing obamacare, congress, get your act together. learn from the good part of the american people. they are leading by example. you are supposed to be servants. do your job. here now is reaction. florida attorney general pam bondi. you know, i know it's a small minority, pam, it is very small. what does the case of water cost, $4 or $5? raise a price $1? $100?

>> the best monologue i've heard you do. it was pretty beautiful what you just said. sean, yeah, water and i'll tell you what amazon has done now. these were third party vendors. i was on the phone with amazon corporate. they brought in their entire team in seattle. they brought in a team of people and started manually scrubbing it. they've banned 500 third party people from going on amazon and selling. there is a lot of bad but there is a lot of good. we've seen convenience stores gouging. locally seven 11 were ridiculous. we'll go after the bad franchises. 7-eleven stores were great. donated $150,000 to the american red cross and 100,000 bottles of water to our state. it is starting to rain right

now. tomorrow home depot are sending a convoy of trucks, sean, 80 trucks down to south florida. water will be $2.97 a case. generators, extension cords. we've seen a lot of good. if you're gounging in our state we'll go after you and governor rick scott has saved so many lives. he said to say hi, sean, by the way. he got the people out of our state. i'm so blessed to have him as our governor. >> sean: i will be honest it was just refreshing. we've seen when hurricanes can become a disaster. for example, katrina. but here is what i want to ask you. if you go back to ferguson, missouri, if you go to baltimore and all these people, all the looting and all that went on there, we have video of these people. we can identify them. they never used the video and these people end up getting away with it. will that happen in this case or will you search out every -- we could see their faces and we know who they are.

>> sean, all of our sheriffs are all over it. our national guard has been fully deployed. cannot thank them enough. federal assistance thanks to president trump. our state we'll be in good shape. if you are looting from our citizens we'll go after you. if you are price gouging i'll go after you and i will shame you on national tv and call you out and we are going to see people coming in from other states trying to sell generators for $1,000 to take care of -- to hurt people in need who have babies at home and no power and -- but for the most part people the red cross has been amazing. people are working so well together. one thing if i can mention to your viewers a signment of benefits. people will start coming to your door wanting to repair your homes and start wanting to say they're contractors. make sure they are licensed. do not assign your insurance benefits over to any contractor. talk to your insurance company first. that's one of the big scams

we'll start seeing as well as charity scams and you and i were on earlier with reverend franklin graham who has a great charity as well. we'll see -- samaritans purse, red cross.org, all the good ones. >> sean: pam, please go after these people. you know what? there is nothing worse. i know it's a small minority. nothing worse than doing it to your fellow floridians. thank god most people aren't like this. those that are, i hope you throw them in jail, all of them. >> that's right. thank you. thanks, sean. >> sean: when we come back, hillary clinton blaming everybody for her election loss. you won't believe what she is literally now saying. gregg jarrett and larry elder have reaction on this busy breaking news night. stay with us. and diarrhea.

i tried lifestyle changes and over-the-counter treatments, but my symptoms keep coming back. it turns out i have irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea, or ibs-d. a condition that's really frustrating. that's why i talked to my doctor about viberzi... ...a different way to treat ibs-d. viberzi is a prescription medication you take every day that helps proactively manage both abdominal pain and diarrhea at the same time. so i can stay ahead of my symptoms. viberzi can cause new or worsening abdominal pain. do not take viberzi if you have no gallbladder, have pancreas or severe liver problems, problems with alcohol abuse, long-lasting or severe constipation, or a bowel or gallbladder blockage. pancreatitis may occur and can lead to hospitalization and death. if you are taking viberzi, you should not take medicines that cause constipation. the most common side effects of viberzi include constipation, nausea, and abdominal pain. stay ahead of ibs-d with viberzi.

>> sean: welcome back to "hannity". despite suffering a loss in last year's election hillary clinton won't go away. she is out with a brand-new book entitled "what happened." this weekend she previewed her new book. not surprisingly blamed anything and everything under the sun for her loss except herself. trump happened, watch this. >> who i give a great deal of respect for like nate silver, looked at the data said but for that comey letter she would have won. even though that was the primary blow to my campaign at the very end, it has to be looked at in context with the russians weaponizing information, negative stories about me. the whole wikileaks beginning to leak in early october of john poes take's email.

facebook was taking money from russian companies to run stories about me and misogyny endemic to our society. >> sean: i don't know what to say. for reaction gregg jarrett and larry elder. gregg, i'll start with you. russia, comey, wikileaks, facebook, voter i.d.s. sexism, misogyny. she didn't mention that she was an awful candidate, the right wing conspiracy and donald trump happened and she was a horrible candidate. >> it is now up to 26 people and events and conditions she has blamed. psychiatrists have a term for what she does. it is called projection. it is when you are utterly incapable of accepting personal responsibility. you blame others because you view yourself as a chronic victim very much like richard nixon when he famously said in his second watergate speech i

except responsibility and not the blame. like nixon all the scandals that are synonymous with the name hillary are self-created. nobody forced her to set up a private email server or pocket $225,000 from goldman sachs. nobody forced her to use her foundation like a personal piggyback that smacks of influence peddling and self-dealing. she dit on her own but utterly incapable of the courage of honest self-reflection. >> sean: so well said. i wish i said it that well. it was really well said. i'll steal every word and -- she blames talk radio and the fox news channel. larry, the media narrative on her, she is brilliant. she is so smart. >> right. >> sean: if you watch her campaign she was boring, she was dull. she had no urgency and she was basically a walking bumper

sticker talking point of every campaign the democrats have ever run. i never saw anything that inspired anybody and then all the scandals that gregg mentioned. >> i don't know whether or not obama is on gregg's list but obama should have been because this election was a referendum of the eight years of obama. and he gave us the worst economic recovery we've had since 1949. the first recovery where we haven't had a single year of 3% growth and the difference between 2% which is what we've had and 3% is a million jobs times the length of recovery. if he had done nothing but practiced his jump shot we would have had 7 million more jobs. she hasn't made a criticism of what he has made economically. she was okay with all of them including the mandate that obama did not want during the campaign. she can't criticize any decision he has made economically. when you ask americans who voted in 2016 the number one concern was the economy and

jobs. >> sean: absolutely. the forgotten men and women. i guess the media and liberals love to diagnose donald trump's mental state. i'm interested in hillary. would it be wrong of me to say narcissistic personality disorder? >> wouldn't it be refreshing if she said look i was a lousy candidate. i never truly understood what americans care about. i never developed a message that resonated with voters. again, that would require a measure of honesty and self-reflection and she just can't acknowledge the truth. and she never will. >> she could have said my husband governed from the center. he cut capital gains, he did the welfare reform act of 1996. my boss governed from the hard left but she can't say that.

>> sean: stay right there. more with gregg and larry right after this break and also coming up tonight a blockbuster interview 60 minutes white house former steve bannon making major headlines. the man who killed bin lauden a good friend of mine who lost her brother, one of the pilots, straight ahead. plus it supports bone health with calcium and vitamin d. one-a-day women's. what comes to mind when you think about healthcare?

>> sean: welcome back to "hannity". last night 60 minutes aired the first tv interview with former white house chief stageist since he left the white house. he attacked the washington establishment hard. they deserve it and so much more. let's take a look at this. >> the republican establishment is trying to nullify the 2016 election. that's a brutal fact we have to face. they do not want donald trump's populist economic nationalist agenda to be implemented. it's very obvious. the drain the swamp thing, mitch mcconnell day one wanted us to back off. >> you accept no responsibility for the failures of this administration? >> give me a failure. obama didn't have obamacare for the first 18 months. you are holding him to an unfair standard. trump asked people the percentages he thought of still winning and what the

recommendation. i said it's 100%. you have 100% probability of winning. sglaou seem to have done that in every point in the campaign. when he was in trouble asking him to double down on his rhetoric and double down in terms of appealing to his base. >> appealing to the american people and working class people in this country absolutely. there is no doubt in james comey had not been fired we would not have a special counsel, yes. >> would not have the mueller investigation. >> in the breath that clearly mr. mueller is going. >> someone said to me you described the firing of james comey, you are a student of history, as the biggest mistake in political history. >> that would probably be too bombastic even for me but maybe modern political history. >> sean: as we continue with

larry elder and gregg jarrett. i talk about five forces against the president. one of the forces is weak republicans, the republican establishment. the never trumper republicans and mitch mcconnell. the expectations were too high on healthcare. i agree with bannon. they aren't a positive force for changed and deeply involved in the desire and swamp. thoughts. >> for seven years they've been talking about repealing and replacing obamacare because of barack obama. barack obama is no longer there, now the republicans have been exposed. a number of these republicans are not true fiscal conservatives and don't believe in repealing obamacare. they want to repeal it and replace it with another government scheme. many of these guys aren't people that are truly principled. the fact that obama is gone away shows this. and trump unfortunately is the vehicle for this. look, donald trump won, these guys did not expect him to win. they have no idea what to do with him.

he is not a conventional politician. he is a populist as steve bannon has pointed out. >> sean: let me go to you, gregg. i disagree on the comey part of what steve bannon said and here is why. if somebody is so unethical and so conflicted and now we know the fix was in, he was -- before interviewing hillary or all these witnesses he was already writing her exoneration. that is not equal justice under the law by any member. >> comey should have been fired a long time. he usurped the authority of the attorney general and broke all the rules in making his public announcement and then he misinterpreted the law. i never understood, like you, how he could exonerate hillary clinton given the plethora of incriminating criminality. now we know the senate judiciary committee has come up with a statement that comey authored two months before he ever interviewed hillary clinton or her top aides exonerating her.

how is that possible unless he was told to do it or he decided to do it on his own? but either way, it's interfering with the due process of law. that is obstruction of justice. there ought to be a special counsel other than his good buddy robert mueller, to open an investigation to convene a grand jury and decide whether james comey has committed crimes, including obstruction of justice. >> gregg, he didn't have to be told what to do. obama said on several occasions he didn't feel hillary had done anything. i've known her for a long time. >> which is why loretta lynch ought to be under oath the target of a second special counsel because it looks as though promises were made to the hillary clinton campaign. were they made by loretta lynch? what happened on the tarmac inside that plane with bill clinton? even james comey said the reason he took it over was

because he was suspicious of the motive and actions of loretta lynch. >> all trails, gregg, lead to 1600 pennsylvania avenue. all trails lead to barack obama and why it went away. >> you may be right. >> sean: i think there is something to that but the bottom line is i don't think we're done with the email server scandal or comey, lynch, with ukraine election interference nor uranium one or debbie wasserman schultz. today president trump remembers the 9/11 attacks. his administration will work hard to make sure terrorists never have a safe haven to launch attacks against this country. debra burlingame lost her brother, one of the pilots of american airlines. join us next straight ahead.

>> president trump: these are horrible, horrible enemies. enemies like we've never seen before. but we're ensuring that they never again have a safe haven to launch attacks against our country. we are making plain to these

savage killers that there is no dark corner beyond our reach, no sanctuary beyond our grasp, and nowhere to hide anywhere on this very large earth. >> sean: president trump earlier today at the pentagon remembering the 9/11, 2001 terrorist attacks. joining us now the man that killed osama bin laden, author of the best seller "the operator." former navy seal rob o'neill. every time at this time of year, rob, i play on my radio show michael w. smith's song and we intersperse the audio from news reports and the towers hit, the next tower is hit. the field in pennsylvania, every time i hear it, it brings me back like it's yesterday. you had the unique opportunity to kill the guy responsible. do you ever reflect on that?

>> first of all, thank you for having me on the anniversary of such a special day and just like you, i hear those things and brings you right back and it is surreal how fast time flies. you asked me -- i can close my eyes and see my team going up the stairs to get bin laden and remember the feeling of what it is like to know we're facing death ourselves but it is worth it for the innocent people that died in the towers and the first responders that went there, the people on flight 93 in pennsylvania and the people in the pentagon. again, i was down there today at the 9/11 memorial. it is always incredible to go there. i like to go there a lot more than just on the memorial because it makes me realize what is really important. like president trump said in his speech today we realize major catastrophes like that, the terrorists and hurricanes now we realize how small our differences are and once we're united as a country we can defeat anything. he made that pretty clear. >> sean: i love the fact he is taking to them, he is serious,

did you read about bin laden's son? i think you saw some of his kids. do you in particular remember him? do you remember if he was there that day that he will now unite all these terrorists? >> his younger son was not there. his older brother khalid was there and he said the same nonsense and took care of him quickly and that's the same fate that hamm will have. it will be a bad day for him when we find him. supposedly he will unite it. if all they have is a kid we've hit al qaeda hard and this is all they have. they all have the same ideology. any of those savages in north africa uniting under the radical version of islam. they are scraping for something. he will rattle the saber but he won't do much. >> sean: all right. rob, thanks. you did a great service along with all the members of seal team 6. none of you knew if you were coming back. great heroism and all the

people that fought in afghanistan and iraq and those who lost their lives and who were injured. debra burlingame lost her brother on 9/11, 2001. you have been such a strong, powerful voice against radicalism. we're seeing the impact of believing something as naive as north korea if we bribe them and they'll stop the nuclear program. president obama makes this idiotic deal with iran and i think back and i think you lost your brother that day. are we really that stupid that we don't understand the mentality of evil in our time? >> we're not that stupid but we have a leadership -- i'm not confining that to politicians, but also the cultural leaders, the thought leaders in our country, the heads of middle east studies departments in

colleges and universities, who are obsessed with something called hate speech and worrying about the other and, you know, if we had those people running the show in world war ii we might have had quite a different outcome there. the way president trump talked today about the enemy was very important to me. so important to me and so refreshing to me that i sort of knuckled into the rope line so i could thank him for simply saying that our loved ones were murdered that day. that is the first time i heard a president since 9/11 use the term murder. and i felt it was really important to say it and to thank him for that. he actually said something interesting to me. he said my people didn't want me to use that word and i decided to say it anyway. i said well, i'm glad you did. and i have to tell you, sean, i

heard from 9/11 family members today, i hadn't spoken to them and they said he used the word murdered. it bothers us when we hear things like they were lost or they were taken from us. and when we see these mass casualty attacks, outrageous attacks in nice, in orlando, in london, in brussels, where they're targeting innocent civilians, children. and there is all this worry about using the wrong words to describe the killers who did it. it was refreshing to hear this today. and one of the things, if i may say, i learned was reading one of the affidavits from khalid sheikh mohammed taken from him and entered into evidence. he said they absolutely planned a second wave of attacks but

were knocked on their heels. what they didn't imagine was the aggressive response by the american people, by the americans. and that is what gets it done. >> sean: doing the right thing. >> yes. >> sean: i have gotten to know you over these years and your voice with all you've been through has been extremely powerful over the years. my thoughts and prayers are with you this day, too. >> i appreciate it so much. you've been a good friend and a good friend to the american people. >> sean: same with you. thank you. debra burlingame. when we come back, important message from me to a friend of our family right here on the fox news channel. you know who likes to be

in control? this guy. check it out! self-appendectomy! oh, that's really attached. that's why i rent from national. where i get the control to choose any car in the aisle i want, not some car they choose for me. which makes me one smooth operator. ah! still a little tender.

colorado he was going to college. our thoughts and prayers are with you, we love you we are thinking about you in this most difficult time. thanks for being with us, remember the show will always be fair and balanced. jon scott continue straight ahead. >> good evening, this is fox's continuing tropical depression irma and its devastation across florida in the southeast. i'm jon scott in new york. tonight millions of residents across the state are without power. other struggling to assess the damage to their property and their lives. naples, florida, on the west coast experienced some of the worst of irma's wrath, that's where steve harrigan is standing by now. steve. >> reporter: it's an eerie feeling to drive around parts of southwest florida around naples because it is completely black to drive down darkened streets, very quiet. even the stop l
