will cain here all morning long. will: ceremonies taking place at each of the attack sites throughout the morning will be featured on "fox & friends." rachel: president biden will speak later from the pentagon. vice president harris will travel to the 9/11 memorial here in nyc. pete: david lee miller is there with more on the day's events we will cover all morning. david. reporter: good morning from the memorial plaza in lower manhattan. where i'm standing this is the very location 21 years ago today, 2753 people were murdered in the place of the twin towers, now behind me are two memorial reflecting pools. the names of those who died that day are indescribed along the perimeter. the ceremony commemorating the 21st anniversary 9/11 attacks is set to begin in 2 1/2

hours. in previous years, family members read names allowed of 3,000 people killed in multiple attacks and six killed in the 19933 bombing of the world trade center. during the ceremony there will be six moments of silence. it will mark the moment each tower was struck and collapsed. the first moment is 8:46. citywide silence is called for. corresponding times of the attacks in pentagon and the hijacked plane in thingsville, pennsylvania. vice president harris will be among those that will attend the ceremony as well as her husband and merrick garland. as well as port authority police which is the agency that overseas the world trade center. president biden will speak at the pentagon. he will lay a wreath. first lady takes a part in the ceremony at the 93 national monument in shanksville. an entire generation reached

adult had more hand two decades in the attack. more than 3,000 parents lost a children. more than 1600 lost a wife or husband, more than 400 first-responders died that day including 343 new york city firefighters. and now 21 years later, the pain, the suffering, and the sacrifices still continue. the latest statistics show that the cancer rate connected with the world trade center attacks has doubled over the last three years. back to you. pete: david lee miller, thank you. you were there of the events that morning and later on this morning. we look forward to getting even more of his reflections. here we are. last year was the 20th anniversary. certainly a lot of meaning around that. now it is 21. it doesn't change the meaning of

the morning. rachel: no. pete: every year since moves you away further from the events. younger people are coming through. it is our job to do the -- rachel: i was thinking the further we get away, the more our children are not learning lease lessons of 9/11. frankly our government. we'll talk about that later in the program. will: it is important david brought up there that the cancer rates doubled from anyone involved either in the recovery or in the area of the fall of the twin towers in new york city. why that is important, it brings that trauma and tragedy from the past not only pro the past into our present as well. there is more than one way remains in the present and one of those how we continue to remember this danger so obvious on 9/11 doesn't simply fade into the background. talk about that bring in retired army staff sergeant, medal of honor recipient, david bellavia honored to have you with us this morning as you look back at 21

years later. the life you gave, have given ever since that day. what are your thoughts? >> like so many in my generation those images 21 years ago tattooed on the brain. we talk about the difference between civilians, veterans the combat situation. 9/11 experienced the entire world, the entire country went through and just like we heard from david lee miller about you know, pete just said eloquently, you know, a generation, 21 years ago, think of the men and women who joined the military because of 9/11. they're retired out of the military now. it has been 20 years, entire career avenging what happened on september 11th has passed. we saw this with our grandparents in world war ii. pearl harbor didn't have the same ring. it didn't sting as much without television images, without video

images. when i was on patrol every single day in iraq, in a war my nation and my citizens couldn't connect why we were there from september 11th. it got very stubborn and clumsy to bring iraq connected to 9/11 but for me the images of desperate, scared citizens jumping to their death to avoid the flames and the heat of the tower, i thought about that every single day when i was on patrol. if i knew there was someone out there wanted to hurt me or my citizens, my friends in my unit i how the about that desperation and i wasn't there so much to defend my constitution, defend my way of life. i was there to avenge every drop of blood they took from us and it was something that really galvanized us as a fighting force. pete: david, you mentioned pearl harbor, and that is one of the debates, discussions three of us

have too, doesn't have the same resonance with us than that generation. inevitable 9/11 will not have the same connection between people who were not alive that day, but we keep that memory alive. in that case defeated japanese became our allies, in this case the taliban reconstituted, reconnected with al qaeda 21 years later, radical islam is still a threat. what do you make of the botched afghanistan withdrawal where we are in the legacy of 9/11? >> right, the difference being we armed, equipped emperor hirohito in japan. this is salty. you can say how many years are we removed from september 11th. there may have been time for people to get to a point where we could start talking about september 11th being this happened, and here was our response and this is why we are hyper vigilant but after what

occurred a year ago in afghanistan, you know, when september 11th hit, the vas in america were rocked and the veterans that were showing up, the generation that was showing up to deal with the trauma of september 11th was the vietnam generation. just like when pearl harbor generation the world war i veteran was struggling. always the generation that has seen combat, dealing with the fact that their sons and daughters will have to go through it as well. we took 20 within years to salve the wound what is we saw on september 11th. afghanistan exacerbated. unfortunately i don't think we've gotten to the top how damaging our withdrawal from afghanistan has been. >> yeah. there is no question about that and that our government hasn't really learned the lessons of this in my opinion since joe biden was elected. we have 81 known terrorists who

have crossed our southern border. i'm just so confused. we have done to upend peoples lives at airports. we're still doing many of the security measures that were implemented post-9/11 and yet our border is wide open and our government knows that known terrorists have come across, they still haven't closed it. >> known terrorists. that number, that statistic, that data point is just so frustrating. what we know of, right? but as you said, look, i mean, it's very easy to monday morning quarterback all things. this is the nature of military operations. there is a political side to it, a public side to it and it is very easy to look at the bush administration to say what were you thinking, right? don't forget there were eight years under barack obama where everyone of, running on a platform of bad war, good war, forget iraq, let's move forward,

focus on afghanistan. this was the nexus of everyone of the talking points that brought those eight years to the american people and yet through that all, through all of the lessons learned, we still have the mastermind of al qaeda eating subway sandwiches at gitmo. talk about you know, a black eye to the american way of, forget about the victims. forget about the families, this is about who we are as a nation. if we can't come to terms with military tribunals, civilian, get "judge judy," someone out there has to acknowledge this thug and the leader and get to the answers. you want to dispel conspiracies and nonsense you put the facts out there. you stand behind what happened on september 11th. both parties own responsibility here. will: so i think that's a fascinating place to pick up the conversation. the question that pete

introduced, david, i want to turn to you with this, so i think it is important to say december 7th, 1941 is a day that now lives in our history books but september 11th, 2001 still lives in the present so many ways that is what we're talking about. we're talking to a member, one of us of the greatest generation responded to 9/11. that brings up the past. you bring up as well, david. khalid sheikh mohammed, sifting in jail in gitmo. never faced trial. how do you think sit here today a friend of all of ours, scott manner, on fox news written in an op-ed, the enemy gets a vote as well. this is not just in the past. the enemy is looking out there to find us, as we sit here 21 days later, khalid sheikh mohammed the enemy still in places in afghanistan perhaps on their front foot, where should we be on the war on terror? >> hyper vigilant, hyper aware,

as you mentioned the greatest generation in world war ii, the average citizen was correcting people on the streets every day about pearl harbor, right? people didn't even know, was hawaii a state? it wasn't at the sometime? is it protectorate. what is important about pearl harbor? what does matter japan. only people killed there servicemembers, none of that was a factor to a generation that said i don't know where pearl harbor is, i don't understand what is going on in foreign policy, i get all my news from a radio, i still want to go, take my son, take my daughter, we'll hit these boys back, we'll hit them harder they could ever dreamed coming at us. that was the average citizen. we can complain about our government, we can complain about the media. we dove doing it. it is a parlor game. the american citizens have to be the beacon of that information in to everyone. a guy like khalid sheikh mohammed sitting around for 21 years, this needs to be brought

up every single day, not just on the anniversary of september 11th. how many other folks are out there. what other countries were aiding, abetting, sending funds? how can we possibly look in the american people in the eye say this will never happen again when the very circumstance that brought us september 11th, unmolested 1000 miles away in the caves and in the freedom of planning and developing and training we have the exact same formula today that we did 21 years ago? i tell you what, it is very difficult, not just for veterans or for family members, it is difficult for americans to accept this as our reality. will: david bellavia, thank you very much not only being with us this morning but everything you have given to the country in the years following 9/11. >> thank you, david. pete: one of absolute best spokesperson for our generation,

medal of honor, battle of fallujah many leaders taliban were held at guantanamo bay, now released. we can't put on trial the mastermind of 9/11. if you're our enemy, does that look serious to you? rachel: it is not just the war on terror, the islamic threat we have, is a message to china as well how serious we are a nation. will: right now a hearst carrying body of the queen elizabeth ii is expected in edinburgh today. rachel: it allows people to pay final respects of their queen over 70 years. pete: jonathan hunt is live at buckingham palace. jonathan. reporter: pete, will, rachel, good morning, we're having some communication difficulties here

but it has been an extraordinary morning here in the united kingdom. we got our first glimpse of the coffin containing queen elizabeth ii. it was an emotional moment for everybody. i felt my own breath catch as we saw the hearst pull out from the gates of balmoral for the first time. then it drove through the small village of balater. very small village, just a few hundred people. hundreds more had come to pay their respects to the queen. and what struck me the most was the complete hushed and respectful silence as the funeral cortege drove through the village, it continued its journey through aberdeenshire. it will shortly arrive in aberdeen, slow to a walking pace so thousands who are lining the streets can pay their respects. then it is on to edinburgh where

the casket will rest overnight in holly root house the official residence of the british monarchy in scotland. it will be goon the journey down here to london, to buckingham palace and on to the palace of westminster. then we will have the funeral on monday, the 19th of september. we got some extraordinary pictures yesterday. the prince and princess of wales, william and kate, along with the duke and duchess of sussex, harry and meghan, coming together outside of the gates of windsor castle to inspect huge number of floral arrangements, tribute left for the queen. the first time we have seen the brothers harry and william together in more than two years. it was an extraordinary display of them being united in grief. although i have to say there didn't seem to be a lot of interaction directly between the two of them.

you would have thought they would put an arm around each other. that did not happen. on what is is a tough day for the united states and the uk with 9/11, and our first glimpse at the coffin of the queen, it is interesting to see both great nations are enduring, will continue to endure. back to you nice -- guys. rachel: thank you so much. interesting images. the boys in the middle. the girls apart, the princesses apart. maybe there is some tension there on the outside of that image that, yeah. interesting. all right, our coverage marking 21 years since the 9/11 attack continues all morning long. up next, let's roll. that phrase becoming symbolic for the heroism displayed by passengers on flight 93. the father of the man who helped lead the charge to take down those hijackers, he will join us next.

♪. will: let's roll, two words that embody heroism 21 years after 9/11. final words from todd beamer on flight 93. they went to resvelte against the hijackers, crashing the plane into shanksville, pennsylvania before they could hit their target. todd's david joins us to honor his son and his sacrifice. what an honor to have you on the program. what we think it all means, todd, his character, take me back to that day, how did you experience it, how was it told to you in retrospect about todd's actions? >> it was a day we all remember, a horrific day but we also remember what some people had the opportunity to do that day

was to fight back. todd and the 43 people on flight 93 did just that. they didn't anticipate a call to duty in that kind of action that day but they took it, heard it, did it. just like so many of the firefighters and policemen in your city did that day, and we are, forever grateful that they did what they did, it was a, a day we all remember, and i appreciate that you good people are calling attention to much of america to remember what happened that day. it's, it is really an honor for peggy and me to be in charlotte, north carolina this day, to honor a fallen firefighter from new york, steven coakley, his family and their foundation continue to support those organizations and, they not only remember that day but they take action to help other people

remember, they put 2977 flags in the ground, each one with a name on it to help call attention to what happened that day. we thank them for doing that. thank all the communities around our land that remember what happened, who did it, why they did it and what we've had to do in response to that. you know as we all know it's 21 years ago and a lot has happened. and as staff sergeant david spoke about, a whole lot really has happened in the last 21 months of our new administration, the biden regime and it grieves me that it was determined by that administration that our country had to take a left turn, in fact, a hairpin left turn from the course we were on. growing weary of fighting this war on terror, commander-in-chief made a decision to not just pack up and go home but just go home and

don't bother to pack up, leave the weapons of war, leave our allies, citizens, supporters behind and return to the homeland. since that time has decided that his war is going to be a war on fossil fuels and he has been able to execute that strategy with just a stroke of a pen. let's turn off the tap, let's take the fuel from our growing and prosperous economy and transform it to the point where now we are begging for our, frankly some of our enemies to please help us. consequences have been terrible, prices skyrocket, inflation up and up and up and it is not only a burden and a tax on the middle class what about old guys like me? many senior americans who live on a fixed income, oh, by the way, it is just a wonderful effect on all of our 401(k)s.

so president biden is winning the war against fossil fuels and it is costing all of us a lot. you know that in the days -- will: david, on this day on 9/11, yes. dade, on this day, 9/11 and focus on actions, i appreciate you bringing it back to that. actions can be judged from the administration, but also importantly today on an individual, that individual is your son and the actions he took. as we all look back on that, asked how we would have responded, your son serves inspiration to us all famous words put into action. let's roll. we appreciate you being with us this morning and remembering on 9/11, david. >> remember this, once upon a time we were united under colors of our flag, rhett, white, blue, divided by the same colors, red, white or blue. we need to make some changes.

final good-bye to balmoral castle, one of her favorite places, if not her very favorite spot where she had cherished memories of growing up with her mother and father and spending all of her summers in the scottish high lands. we know that six pallbearers carried her coffin and they are game keepers who had been individually chosen because of their personal relationship with the queen. three of those coffin-bearers, had borne the coffin of the queen mother as well. so just a very long history between these members of the staff at balmoral. no doubt there was not a dry eye in the house when the coffin left that estate for the final time. and now its winding its way through a six hour, 175-mile journey through aberdeenshire, through dundee, all along the river and it will eventually make its way to edinburgh where the, where it will lie in rest

"fox & friends" we sit below, standing in awe of what we have

accomplished, what we look up to, what we built back here on 9/11. we're glad to come to you from the site of ground zero, now the home of the freedom tower here on the 21st anniversary of september 11th. rachel: as i was looking at the freedom tower, we were looking at it during the commercial break, i just can't imagine a tower almost as big as that, two of them coming down. so unbelievable how packed it is down here, how enormous they are, they would have been. it is mind blowing. pete: when you look at the footprint of the memorial, look at the footprint of both sides, the height, sheer magnitude of that day. i'm so proud of fox news channel, "fox & friends," we focus this morning on this, it is easy to move along about your day, 21 years later, yes we remember 9/11. it focuses the mind. i just say that personally. you can go back, yes, something that was significant in my life, everybody's lives but to focus for a morning, to say i remember

that morning, the bells ringing when the planes hit. talking to one of the horse soldiers who responded. that threat still exists out there. yes we can debate how we did it, whether it was effective, all that, reality radical islamists attacked us on that day. they are just as hell-bent to attack us today if they could. they have reconstituted, we better remain vigilant, part of that vigilance is remembering exactly what they did to civilians. pearl harbor was military personnel. rachel: that's right. pete: civilians here in the pentagon and shanksville. rachel: it is worth noting since joe biden has taken office 81 unknown terrorists, these are terrorists we know have crossed our southern border. these threats are real. our leaders have not learned lessons of keeping us safe. so i think it's still relevant. pete: 20 years ago, al qaeda is back, taliban is in control, our border is wide open and terrorists coming across the

border? you say no chance. rachel: i still have to take my shoes off at the air board -- airport. will: it is insane. pete you brought up that morning, one of the people who was here that morning 2001, david lee miller. zare more than anies, commemorations are taking place at each of the attack sites throughout this morning. >> president biden will speak later from the pentagon and vice president harris is traveling to the 9/11 memorial right here in new york city where she will give her remarks. pete: as will mentioned david lee miller is at the memorial with more on the day's events and his reflections. david. reporter: good morning. i'm standing now on what is hallowed ground. this is now the memorial plaza. it is where the twin towers stood 21 years ago and just about an hour 1/2 time the commemoration ceremony is going to get underway. at 8:46 there will be a moment of silence, followed by five

other moments of silence corresponding to the times the towers struck and fell, the attack at the pentagon and the crash that took place in shanksville. here in lower manhattan kamala harris and her husband are going to attend the ceremony along with attorney general merrick garland. president biden will lay a wreath and speak at the pentagon. the first lady is going to be in attendance at the ceremony that takes place in shanksville, pennsylvania. there will also be smaller, but no less significant ceremonies taking place throughout the entire country today underscoring that, attacks of 9/11, most americans say are an event that changed this country forever. back to you. will: david, we, you know, done this two years in a row now, been here at this site, i have, we host this show and it is

always unbelievable to relive how much disbelief we were null in on september 11, across the nation, i can only imagine for you reporting from the site and the location how it unfolded for you. take us back to that day, what was the original call to you, to send you down to downtown manhattan and begin reporting? reporter: it began with a report that a small plane had crashed into the one of the towers. soon thereafter we knew that was not the case. i got to this location minutes after the second tower was struck. when i arrived here i saw a lot of people who were looking up at the two burning towers. i didn't know what they were looking at. and then i realized they were watching as dozens and dozens of people who were afraid they were going to burn to death, instead chose to jump to their death. i was looking for a photographer, i was assigned to

work with but i couldn't locate him that day. i decided to do a first happened account from inside one of the towers. i got a block 1/2 away, a police officer stopped me, he said you can't go any further, it is too dangerous. i argued with him. suddenly someone yelled run. there was a loud rumble. we looked up, the first tower was falling we literally ran for our lives. i soon was able to get to a phone and make a live report on the air and this is some of what i said that day, listen. the scene is horrific. one of the two towers literally collapsed. i was making my way to the foot of world trade center. suddenly talking to an officer who was questioning me about my press credentials we heard a very loud blast, explosion. we looked up, the building literally began to collapse before us. i'm now standing in a black cloud of smoke left over from the debris. there is soot. it is difficult to breathe.

people ran into nearby office buildings once they got out of the danger zone to be able to breathe. i'm on a pay-phone on the street, i literally cannot see more than a quarter of a block away. that is how thick the smoke is. we now know that much of that smoke contained toxins, even some carcinogens. one of the things that i remember about that day, much of it is a blur. some things are still very vivid. one of the things i saw has not been widely reported, i don't think it has been reported at all, is as i was walking in the streets that day i saw dozens or hundreds of pairs of women's shoes. it appears women who were fleeing the towers, nearby streets, abandoned their high heels and ran barefoot in order to get away from the location. it is, it is one of the few things that have, as i said before have not been widely reported but are burned into my

memory, really emblematic of some of the things, some of the horrible things i saw that day. back to you. >> david, it's very clear to me, maybe you could clear that up, the police officer basically saved your life because it seemed like you were determined to get to the tower, is that how you feel, that was the moment that saved your life, the officer turning you away? reporter: i very much feel that way. i think of that officer often and i think of him every 9/11. that officer hadn't told me i was not allowed to enter the building i would not be here right now. i don't know who he is. i didn't get a badge number. i didn't get a name. i never saw him again. as i said we both ran for our lives but i am eternally grateful to him, first-responders that day did an extraordinary job. the events of that day cost

nearly 400 of them their own lives. many more would have died had they not unselfishly done their jobs. back to you. pete: david lee miller, proud to call you a colleague, a fellow american. thank you so much for sharing your story and for reporting with us this morning on the anniversary. god bless. rachel: thank you, david. pete: one of those things, you pass david in the hallway, i know that story and yet reservoir of knowledge and understanding about these events is deep inside of this city no doubt. rachel: yeah, it is interesting because we talk, we've been talking all morning about what kids know or don't know about this fox digital, asked some young american students what they thought. and one of their responses, they said, what is the lesson americans should have learned from 9/11. many responses one of them we

have more in common with each other than we think, after stuff like this happens, a lot of people come together. so i think the message of unity is one, people like/12. i'm not so sure of the. will: martha: is reporting is reporting from the united kingdom. martha, you work at the world financial center at that time. tell us your story from 9/11. martha: good to be with you all, listening to david lee's story, it brings back so many memories. i remember the first thing that i heard, there was a reporter on the street, i actually, i worked at "the wall street journal," at the world financial center during the first bombing at the world trade center. i remember watching the smoke pour out from underneath the

building. then we were all put on ferries that went over to the other side, to the new jersey side that day and on 9/11 i worked for cnbc at that point and i remember seeing a report as david said that a plane a small plane had flown into the south tower of world trade center. some thought maybe a pilot had a heart attack went into the side of building. i remember asking a reporter on the street who witnessed this, seconds following that, oh, no, it was a commercial jet. i remember thinking when she said that, that this was not at all what anyone thought it was. in the moments that followed the second commercial jet plowed into the side of that building. at cnbc at the time our work was all you know wall street, all the market, i used work down at the new york stock exchange and i just thought about the thousands of people working in those buildings and, their

families waiting for word from them and it was, it is just a day that i hope no one ever, ever forgets. we lost so many friends on that day. and i hope that it is being taught in schools, you know, you touched on this a moment ago, rachel. this should be a, at least day-long lesson during this week every september 11th. we have to understand who attacked us. we have to understand the response to it. we have to understand the vigilance that needs to follow in the wake of it and heroes that existed on that day and the unity that followed it as you talked about, pete, september 12th, which is also a such a significant day, i really hope these lessons are not lost. i hope they're reinforced in schools across this country as they should be. rachel: i wish, martha, that i could give you an affirmative on that and i can, as a mom with kids in school i had a son who tried to set up a memorial at a

catholic school in wisconsin of all places and had massive pushback on, they were told it was too traumatic and it was a lot of resistance. he finally got it through, but he had to fight through the administration to make that happen. that should tell you where things are at. but you talked a little bit about september 12th, that sense of unity wasn't just one we felt here among americans but you're over there in london doing such amazing coverage for us here at fox news and i thought, it would be good to talk a little bit about what the queen mother did, this touching gesture that i think americans will never forget. martha: yeah, on september the 13th, i think you have some video of it we can listen to in a moment queen elizabeth said that she wanted "the star-spangled banner to be played at buckingham palace t

was an incredible moment and there were tears pouring down peoples cheeks as they waved american flags. it was just one of those many moments. let's watch a little bit of this so people can relive it. [playing of "the star-spangled banner"] ♪. ♪.

[cheers and applause] martha: it is absolutely heart-stopping moment. queen elizabeth knew as a child what it was like for your city to be bombed on 9/11. terrorists took commercial airlines and turned them into bombs that rained down on the city of new york and on the pentagon and in the field in shanksville, pennsylvania, so she knew what it was like to know the terror and fear of your own safety and for those who you loved and it was a grand gesture on her part that meant a lot, you guys. pete: reminder how significant 9/11 was, not that we should have to remind people of that, but we do as we get further away. hundred year tradition queen elizabeth was willing to break who revered tradition to play our nation's anthem in light of solidarity with us. a great moment i'm glad we were able to remind people of.

martha: absolutely. pete: you will continue to bring coverage. quick, 30 seconds, latest what is happening there in london with queen elizabeth and the ceremonies? martha: so the casket is making it the way in the funeral cortege through the highlands of scotland. it will end today's journey into edinburgh this afternoon. we'll watch this as it takes a very long, sorrowful beginning of this funeral process which is going to go on really for the next eight days until monday, september 19th. we'll be covering it all throughout the day and the evening. thanks, you guys. pete: thank you, martha. >> by the way, pete, also just, you mentioned this friendship with our country and england, that is probably she, more than most people would appreciate what happened in world war ii and that, i think that is why again you brought up such a great point, she loves tradition, and yet at that moment she was willing to break it. pete: i hadn't thought about it

until martha said it, as a child endured the bombings of the nazis in world war ii. she gets it. rachel: she gets it. pete: may we all pass to the next generation. if they didn't live it, at least an understanding and appreciation for it. we have a few additional headlines this morning and we begin with this, to something you talked about, so did martha, a new york lawmaker wants to insure students in all 50 states never forget the september 11th attacks. congressman andrew gar bill. anos, reads in part, failure to educate the next generation americans to the turn would be disservice to the memories of 2997 innocent individuals who were murdered on that day. only 14 states require 9/11 to be included in student's curriculum. should be 50. he is trying to make it that. ceo of luxury lifestyle brand rh believes america's

economy is in a recession. rachel: that is restoration hardware? pete: is that what it is. rh. now you know what it is. during the company's earnings call last week gary friedman who is saying anybody who thinks we're not in a recession is crazy. the housing market is in recession, and it is just getting started. you hear more and more of that people who are actually in the trenches. friedman also believes the revenue of his company formerly known as restoration hardware. rachel: oh. pete: now known as hr, interesting, could fall as much as 18% next quarter if the fed increases interest rates which bring an brenburg said yesterday they will likely do. quarterback aaron rodgers slams california's covid leadership destroying small businesses in his hometown. in an episode of bill maher's podcast coming out later today, the california native admitting quote, states going to [bleep] but i'm hanging on. i grew up in a small town, very

>> i didn't actually see the north tower hit. there was a whole lot of noise. something happened obviously because there was smoke coming out of the north tower on the south side i was working on. pete: you started down from 80th, down to the 60th. >> i decided to rest on the 60th floor because i was fatigued from running. as i entered a room on the 60th floor, that room pretty much popped or collapsed. that was apparently the flight 175 coming into the south tower. will: tim really quickly what inspired you. you saw the north tower hit. why did you immediately evacuate the south tower? >> one of the things concerned me, even though we were toll it was a controlled situation in the north tower, one things concerned me there had started to be smoke started to kind of wafer in from the north tower.

you could smell something. we started to get concerned being that high up, maybe we should start down in the event of a, you know, something, you know, whatever was going on at the time which we didn't know. you know, one of the things, one of the things i just wanted to mention today that is very, very important to me and i'm, i am blessed every day for me is a good day because i, there were several times i had said my prayers that day, figuring that i would be unfortunately killed. thanks to many heroes like this man sitting next to me i was fortunate enough to survive but one of the things that still has a major hole in my heart is that we have not looked at and not, we need to continue to look at who was responsible for this. this great country was attacked by a foreign nation and that nation is the kingdom of saudi arabia. families thanks, thanks, to president biden's executive

order, the families are blessed now to have an executive order that has released fbi documents that has clearly stated that 12, in excess of 12 saudi government officials were here planning, plotting, executing the attacks on september 11th. and to date we don't have any accountability. we certainly don't have any justice and for me, you know, today, today is such an important day to remember. i'm here, i'm blessed with my family, my friends but it's also going towards justice and accountability and i think as a country we need that truth and we need that complete story and so far we don't have it. rachel: fair enough. tim, tell us your story on that day. because there were certain moments you also thought you were going to lose your life. >> i was new york city fireman detailed to mayor giuliani's office of emergency management.

our office was 7 world trade center. the 9/11 first plane smashed into the north face of the north tower. it flew over the roof of our building. my job was to go to the command post. i was in there for a while. i saw firefighter chris blackwell, my very good friend and colleague from the bronx fire department when we worked there. i was the last one to see him. chris and i kissed on the lips because i loved him like my real brother. we acknowledged to each other this was a very bad thing and, after he acknowledged that, he went in the stairwell and went up to save the lives of people he did not know, right. rachel: did you feel like he knew he would not come back. >> i know he knew. i know he knew. you know, we took, we all took an oath when we became firefighters or police officers or military or, so, he fulfilled his oath that day, right? he gave his life for people he didn't know.

and i call it the greatest love. rachel: certainly is. >> so when the south tower got hit myself and assistant chief donald burns from the fire department went to the lobby the south tower. he went to the command post. there were people trapped in an elevator there and, the elevator car actually free fallen 70 floors because the plane snapped the cable. and those people were now stuck. i could see them, the hoistway door was open but the elevator car was at the top. we could see everybody's feet. they were screaming and, the elevator below them was full of jet fuel that was on fire. so they were getting burned. and when i speak we have to, we have to tell the whole truth about 9/11, not just the parts we want to talk about. rachel: i agree. >> the heroes, the 343 new york city firefighters, 37 port authority police officers, 23

nypd and eight emt paramedics who all did what chris blackwell did, they all ran toward danger to fulfill their oath. we have to talk about the horrors. we have to as tim stated we have to talk about who did it, why they did it. that is the whole truth. rachel: i couldn't agree more. you both have strong and powerful stories. hearing those stories i think are the best way to protect ourselves from it happening again. if we know what really happened we'll make sure it doesn't happen again. that is the hope of course. >> the thing, rachel, the idea this could conceivably happen again. rachel: yeah. >> when you invade a foreign country and you kill innocent americans and maim and injure and look at the, look at rescue workers today are still dying as a result of this attack, it is reprehensible. one of the things i just would like to show, this is, this is an fbi document that was

released to the family a year ago. this document indicates three high-ranking saudi government officials who helped the hijackers plan, plot and carry out that terrible attack 21 years ago today. this is information, this is proof, this is evidence of names of saudi government officials, these are people that were paid by the saudi government to come here and murder 3,000 innocent americans and so far unfortunately, there has been no justice for anyone regarding that. 9/11 was a murder. people were murdered. it was never an investigation on that murder. we don't, for the longest time up until last year we didn't know. now we know. pete: i've been following your efforts to get that information. we appreciate it. >> we have the information, thank god. we now have that information.

we would love the opportunity to share that. pete: appreciate you sharing it this morning. tim frolich. tim brown, appreciate your heroism running towards the buildings. >> thank you very muchs, god bless. pete: still ahead a remarkable 9/11 story you probably never heard. the fighter pilot who was directed to ram her f-16 into the plane to stop it from hitting its target. heather penny joins us. ♪.

as a brand new rookie pilot, as you mentioned we didn't have any ordnance on our aircraft, just training ordnance but we knew we had to get airborne. we knew we had to protect our nation's capital, but our biggest challenges were getting an authorization to launch, getting real live weapons on the aircraft. pete: so you didn't have any. who makes the call that you would then take your f-16, which is much smaller than a civilian airliner and attempt to ram it? where is that call made and are you trained for such a thing? >> you're right, no, we're not trained for anything like that. in the military we don't train for suicide missions because we value our warfighters. they're part of our unique capabilities to apply instruments of national power but we were in a position where unless we had those missiles, there was no other choice.

mark sasville was the flight lead that day. he was our director of operations. he is now lieutenant-general mark sasville, deputy chief of the national guard. he was my flight lead, when we finally got the authorization to launch. again we couldn't take off our own volition there at andrews air force base. we were stationed there next to the nation's capital, we had to have authorization from the civilian leadership to allow us to take off especially considering the magnitude of what we knew the target was. pete: heather, were you prepared to do it, if the passengers hadn't taken it down do you think it would have been you instead? >> if the timing had worked out, absolutely. there was no question in sass's mind or my mind what we needed to do and we were willing to do that because not only had we sworn an oath to protect and defend our constitution, the

united states and our way of life, protect our people but anyone, anyone who would had seen what had happened that day would have been willing to do the same thing. you have had a number of heroes on this morning who made similar choices. so what truly is amazing to me there was nothing special about what sass and i were willing to do, what frankly the passengers on what flight 93 did do. this kind of heroism, this bravery, this service is inside of each and everyone of us. i just wish it didn't take a national crisis to bring that heroism out. pete: beautifully said. you went on to serve two tours in iraq. retired after 20 years. heather penny, thank you for sharing your story what you were willing to do that day, and for actively remembering here on "fox & friends," thank you so much, heather penney. air national guard. >> thank you. pete: thank you. amazing. while our 9/11 coverage continues we're also following

joining us now three army officers who were in the pentagon when flight 77 hit. dr. and retired colonel jerry kitzhaber, retired colonel mark lewis and retired colonel roy wallace join us now. gentlemen, thank you for being with us this morning. forgive, so much attention by the way appropriate attention on new york city but not often perhaps given to what happened ha day at the pentagon as well. forgive me for not completely having my arms around the geography, appears to me, colonel wallace you were the closest to where flight 77 hit that day at the pentagon. can you take me through what you experienced that morning? >> yes, i sure can. so, when the plane hit the building i was sitting at a half round conversation table and the blast wave actually picked me up in the air and threw me backwards head over heels and as i watched, as i was going over

backwards, i watched the blast wave hit the windows behind us in the c ring and it shattered them and they dropped out whole into a&e boulevard. after that we got as low as we could, we could see the on-coming fire and smoke. got low to the ground and called out into the abyss that was the rest of the office, to get as many people out as we could. will: colonel kitzhaber, and colonel lewis, you both share something in common reading your stories, you headed into meetings that ended up being delayed or canceled. colonel kitzhaber, in your instance, that appears to have been a bit of a blessing, taking you away from eventually where you were headed. can you tell me about your morning? >> yes, that morning i had just finished up a briefing. i was going to take it down to general webster who was the army director of training and i didn't have a set time to bring

it there. so i was finishing it up and each time i got ready to head out to his office we heard new news what was going on in new york and other things that delayed me. just as i was ready to leave the phone rang and it was my wife. she was called because i called her earlier to teller what happened in new york. she was calling to check on me if i was okay there, safe in the pentagon. as soon as i finished the phone call, hung up the phone, i spun around in my chair, that is when the plane hit. my office sits right next to the, it is in the b ring. we have a window there between the b and c ring. all the rocks and debris and so forth was flying all through that area. now had i not received that call from my wife, i would have been on my way down to general webster's office when the plane struck between my office and his office. he was fortunately survived. didn't get hurt too seriously

so, that was my experience at that point. will: colonel lewis, as we heard from the other two, i'm curious, you have some indication that morning at the pentagon what is taking place in new york city. was there any sentiment there at the pentagon that morning there could be some pending danger? was there any sense of action that was necessary or a complete surprise that the pentagon was also a target that morning? >> thank you for that question and thank you for your invitation this morning. no, there wasn't. i'll tell you, as that unfolded in new york a number of those on the television were replays and so we had kept watching that. i had tried to get down to, or was supposed to be at the "e-ring" to have a meeting. i came back, then it dawned on us it was really the second tower that got hit.

it was not a replay on the news networks. and just when we came to that realization i started back down the hallway to the "e-ring" to make sure that our boss, our general knew this. that is when we got hit. so we had hardly any realization. then the, so then that, you pull together really quickly, hey, this is three airplane strikes, what went through my mind, i wonder how many airplanes are flying around doing this same sort of thing. will: yeah. a sense many americans had. 184 people killed at the pentagon. our duty to remember them as well. colonel wallace you feel it is your duty to share the story of those who were in your close proximity that lost their lives. we appreciate all three of you sharing your stories on "fox & friends." thank you for your service. thank you for those stories. >> thank you. >> thank you. will: still ahead, thank you. still ahead, this cross was one

quickly, this is three airplane strikes. what went through my mind how many other airplanes are flying around. >> the side of the pentagon that was hit was undergoing renovations. about 20000 people that work here any given day. if that wing had been full of people as it normally is there could've been thousands more victims. pete: thank you so much. let's bring in shannon, the "fox news sunday" anchor. the fox news chief legal correspondent. we are excited for your show today. we are also the happy to have you here on 9/11 and hear your message. >> it's interesting to look back at the legal drama that's gone on for 21 years we hear somebody of the family members and loved oneself behind that say why in the world had people connected to this data been held at guantánamo bay for two decades, not been held legally responsible in some way.

there's been a huge debate ongoing whether they should be in civilian court and whether the tribunals are wait to get it done. so many delays over and over again. i cancel hereinafter cancel hereinafter cancel hearing. we had covered that messed up everybody for a couple of years but prior to the 18 - 19 years of nothing getting results for these families. now talk of a plea deal maybe they would face the death penalty. a lot of folks saying this is in a death penalty case. if that is something you believe in there would not be another case that will qualify. frustration for the families as the legal battles continue it seems like we are not closer inching to a resolution of the numbers of men who had been connected to money transfers are helping in planning the 9/11 attacks that's the very least that we all these families and loved ones left behind in the first responders who bravely ran in and made the sacrifice on that tragic day. rachel: is such a great point shannon. we had a guest here tim

froehlich who says we now have proof that the fbi is providing proof that there are members of the saudi government, not just individual terrorist but he says there are connections to the saudi government and that's another area the sum of the victims feel has to be explored and justice has to be brought to bear on those people as well associated with the saudi government. >> there has been calls for accountability across all kinds of planes and potential issues in parties involved. these families simply want answers and accountability. i think all of us as americans feel that to. there need to be answers and the need to be resolutions especially with ongoing cases. there have been civil matters, criminal matters and yet we still have the men sitting at guantanamo bay. they said we don't want to win the talk of closing it down and moving them elsewhere. they did not want to move to another prison because they like

to set up at guantanamo bay. i don't think most americans are concerned about liking the set up that they got. they want answers and justice. it seems like 21 years at the least we can do. pete: it is so true i was a guard in 2004 - 2005 when there were 700 including k sm they were setting up military tribunals helping they can expeditiously do it. here we are 15 years after that. real quickly want to get to your show. you said the why, what is the why in the biggest blockage of this process moving forward in your legal assessment? shannon: part of it, the fact these men underwent, i think we could say easily nontraditional interrogation of the allegations of torture and reporting and how that figures in to the way that the evidence was gleaned from the procedures can be used. it's an ongoing legal battle over that. something they need to move

forward. will: that's the issue why there hasn't been a civilian trial, why there has been a military tribunal in the same in a similar accountability is a great question. today as we mentioned takes over the reins of "fox news sunday" starting at 2:00 p.m. eastern time. shannon what can we look forward to on your inaugural show? shannon: of course are going to recommend 9/11 throughout the show. the somber day but want to celebrate our heroes and to remember the people left behind. we will talk about the queen as the world is mourning her death. live coverage in london as you guys know. the u.s. ambassador to the uk will be with us to talk about the unique relationship between the two countries in about the queen's legacy. then we will get political because that's what the show is about at its core. senators from both side of the aisle on testing tim scott to talk about the heated rhetoric and accusations against mega republicans and what does it

mean and how do we move forward from here. we also have at the 9/11 remembrances new york yankees retire picture, he was there the night port under president george w. bush throughout the pitch in 2003 as a unified moment to see how sports brought us together. we will talk about if that's still possible in sports can work today and how he's dealing with first responders and titles to towers now. rachel: 70 people excited about you taking the helm i get messages all the time. god bless you. have a great rest of your show. will: thank you so much. the hearst as shannon mentioned carrying the body of queen elizabeth ii making his way through scotland from bill barr castle expected in edinburgh later today. the procession making a few stops along the way to pay the final respects to the queen of over 70 years.

rachel: jonathan hunt is live at buckingham palace. jonathan what is the latest? >> good morning to you. a significant change in tone here this morning. the last two days will be officially part of the mourning. have been about proclaiming a welcoming charles the third but today a definitive shift into the mourning. as we got a first glimpse of the coffin carrying queen elizabeth ii. that is somebody who grew up i found it quite literally a breathtaking moment as the hearse pulled out from the gates of balmoral. the queen coffin covered in the royal standard of in the wreath of flowers cut from her own balmoral estate. as it travels through scotland thousands of people have lined

the streets in one of the most striking things is the hushed and deeply respectful tone. nobody crying out and watching in silence as the queens coffin goes past them. we also had a significant moment yesterday when the prince and princess of wales william and kate were joined by the duke and duchess of sussex outside of the windsor castle. he looked at the floral tributes in the messages left on the tribute to queen elizabeth ii. it was extraordinarily because the first time we see william and harry together and just about two years. it was a very important show of unity from the family although i have to say it struck me there was not much communication directly between william and harry you can imagine the

significance had they put an arm around each other to comfort each other and show that unity. that was not there but it might mark the beginning. a lot of people in britain hope the beginning of a touring what is been obviously a very frosty relationship. today is all about the procession, bringing the body of queen elizabeth in the coffin to edinburgh where she will go to holyroodhouse the official residence in edinburgh scotland and then there will be a ceremony at saint kyle's cathedral. >> thank you jonathan. will: i so rachel leaning on the news of harry and william potentially thawing. >> i like to believe it is true i'm not so sure. i love the design of the hearst and people can see the casket. as it makes its way through all the villages in scotland and on

the way. very, very interesting. pete: karen bass is her home was invaded by burglars on friday. police say the thieves left behind cash, electronics and other valuables but the congresswoman claims two guns taken despite being safely and securely stored. no arrests have been made. during the debate this year bass said she felt ten at ten safe when walking around the city of los angeles. we will report back when we get an update on her safety perception after this incident. a nurse is being hailed as a hero for sending the newborn's life falling a flight out or later she took immediate action with a three -month-old stopped breathing for shows a baby smiling in their parents arms passengers give the nurse a round of applause. the proceeds from a new book detailing the memories of

silence. may god bless victims, their families and america. thank you very much. >> you just gotta wonder what reaction happens next. let's find out from a special agent of the fbi this is joseph, can the federal government shutdown the airspace and keep all airplanes on the ground. >> any legitimate aircraft for the f aa in the tunnels of towers. a hijacked aircraft that is under control. >> i want to interrupt you for just a minute. the white house is being evacuated. that comes to us from our fox producer in washington. the white house is being evacuated. the pentagon as well. >> everybody back. >> let's go. >> moving out.

>> we decided airplane crash in the district area. >> american airlines plane toward the pentagon. >> i see the smoke. >> any responding to check the area on pentagon advice channel one. >> there is smoke coming from the area high visible smoke. >> i don't want to incite any undue panic but there is a report, there is a report of the other aircraft that is crashed david asman is joining us from fox central. >> we are hearing right now of another explosion that is taken place at the pentagon. with the heart of the financial district of america being tacked now we understand there is an explosion or there has been an explosion in the pentagon the heart of the military command

[inaudible] tower two has an explosion in the complete collapse surrounding the area. >> a major collapse everybody in the area.

[inaudible] >> a huge explosion. everyone's running in the other direction. we are on church street were not sure what happened. a huge explosion. everyone's running for the lives literally. police, media. i see a woman pushing a baby carriage. >> it's unclear what happened if the tower collapsed but i think we better get out of this mess. here comes the smoke. >> can anybody hear me. [inaudible] >> i can't breathe much longer, somebody save me.

>> were getting personnel. >> will multiple units on the way. >> dozens and dozens of firemen and medical emergencies and possible heart attack. >> which way to go? >> stay put. >> everybody is covered. that's the people down right n now. >> david is still with us. what can you tell us. >> the scene is horrific one of the two towers collapsed there was debris in the entire perimeter and trying to run for our lives.

[sirens] >> you have a step, you have a step. >> it appears the building collapsed of its own weight there was so much damage from the heat of the fire the steel will melt. that was the building that was hit by the second plane and that plane seemed to come in at a lower altitude. hit the building lower down in the tremendous fireball. the damage to the building came at a point where there is much more weight on top of it and the steel girders as strong as they are have a lot of weight to support and apparently i'm not a structural engineer but i'm guessing that they gave way. the loss of life is going to be an orbis. >> may god help those who are there in the victims and their families in all the souls that are lost today.

>> rick once again with our producer carlos in lower manhattan. you cannot see the sky because of the suit, the action the crumbled concrete. >> this is church street looks like a snowstorm hit. take action on the ground a lot of it, pandemonium. >> how are you doing a little shook up. >> i went to vietnam and i never saw anything like this. it's unbelievable. >> how close were you to the building. >> i was in front of the door evacuated the people out of the building. we got a lot out and then boom. >> you could not move because you cannot see action and smoke. my eyes and my mouth were full. as soon as we heard the explosion we ran out of the new york supremes state court and jumped on the jury bus. >> here we go again. i don't know what's going on but

the second building is collapsing i believe. [screams] >> the other taber collapse, ready to collapse. >> the world trade center collapsed building two has collapsed. >> everybody get out we had a collapse of the second tower. >> it's hard to describe. the pictures show what is happening in lower manhattan but we don't have a handle on the devastation, the world trade center has collapsed and the casualty figure we cannot begin

to guess at this point. >> united 93 you have information? >> he is down. >> is down? when did he land. >> he did not land. >> is down somewhere northeast of camp david. >> authorities of the somerset county airport confirm a large plane crash 80 miles southeast of pittsburgh. you have to assume it's related to all of these goings on. >> freedom itself was attacked this morning by a faceless coward and freedom will be defended. make no mistake. the united states will hunt down and punish those responsible for those cowardly acts.

>> 21 years, no less stunning solemn and impactful i can only assume your home is like all of us onset, silent taking in the images from 21 years ago today. rachel: i'm so struck i saw the planes go into the towers on the video and it feels like it just happened. just as jolted when i see it. as i see that i get angry in my mind turned military and how it ended yesterday -- i'm sorry last year. pete: so much heroism, the chaos of that morning. the cowardice of terrorist

islamist who use planes as bombs against innocent civilians did not see it coming in the courage of folks on flight 93 and the first responders would take all of that away from this day. moments away from the ringing f the bells which observe the time when flight 11 obstruct the north tower. until then let's listen to the rendition. ♪ manor yahweh. o'er the land of the free and the home ♪ ♪ of the brave ♪ ♪ [tolling of bells]

>> the bell tolling to observe the time, there was a city wide moment of silence hearing the bagpipes and now begins the reading of the names of all of those lost in september 11 attack. rachel: the bagpipes, the drums, i cannot help but think that i really like the way that we are commemorating. it is beautiful. it is so respectful. will: images coming to you for

the lives lost on 9/11. we are broadcasting what was then ground zero of the terrorist attack on september 11, 2001. as we bring these images we try to bring this into your home. some of the conversations we had dropped the mol morning we spoke with the father of todd beamer that famously said let's roll infighting back in flight 93-inch excel pennsylvania. we talk to firefighters and survivors from the twin towers that morning. i want to ask one of the firefighters where we are sitting what you see on your television right now, what was the scene he said it was on survivable he ducked into the hotel right next to us when he vacated the south tower and they said the entire street right behind us what you see on your television was chaos and rubble. rachel: he said you could not outrun the smoke in the rubble that was coming.

will: a large steel beam crack and unmistakable sound echoed through the canyons and everybody ran. as a firefighter they were taught to seek cover he ducked into the marriott hotel in the rest you see play out under television. rachel: he knew what to do. the names are being read, they will run along the bottom of the screen as they are read. as we remember and we are able to look back everything behind us onset. where those people are remembering their covered industries on the day. we have rebuilt and remember the way we came together as a country on september 12. let's bring in joey jones retired marine bob tech who served in afghanistan, joey your life was forever altered by the events that occurred in lower manhattan in d.c. and shanksville. your reflections on the 21st anniversary? joey: good morning, let me just say that my life wasn't changed, the best and worst things i accomplished in my life were to happen to me are a result of 9/11.

everything from the entire trajectory of my life, not just losing my legs by having my kids, joining the military. finding love in all of those things were affected by that d day. i think everyone sitting there, all three of you could probably say the same thing. maybe not as directly evident but in some way everything in your life is been taught back to the decision that you made. how your life changing how you reacted to. this is a country of 330 million every single one of us felt what happened that day. i am in houston, texas, friday gig harbor washington speaking to two different events commemorating this event and helping service members as they go through the like having deployed. the one thing that hit me in the last year or two growing up at a small-town georgia, new york city could not of been further away. especially 2001 when the world was much smaller we were on herself and look at a social media from people all over the world. new york city was a world away

from me and when i went into gym class around 8:00 a.m. or 9:00 a.m. that morning as a freshman in high school in a coach came in entering the tv on and he had nothing to say he did not say a word to us in 15 and 14 and 16 -year-olds watch the second tower fall. is starting to click, and for us to understand the city had no connection to it was being attacked. up until 2001 the national precollege football was so important. that day changed what patriotism met to everyone in this country but especially the so far away from not just the geographical location of new york city but the lifestyle of the big city and from that day forward i fell connected to the city that you all are sitting in.

those people became my people more that day then they had ever been. and to have the honor to travel i will travel there this evening but to travel to work so often when i see something like the package you guys spent i felt like a new yorker. i get really mad and i can't help it i don't have hate in my heart but have anger in my soul for what happened that day that will never go away. if you're in america today and you don't have a little bit of that, i truly don't understand you it's not because they want people to be angry but we can't let something like that happened again. the government can and her people can't i'm so proud to be part of a generation that volunteered to say never again and we're going to go find these people we're going to kill everyone. >> well said joey there's absolutely no doubt, that was a seminal moment i haven't thought of the geographic reality of the. you can think of this as a new york event but it was an america event. how in your mind as we step back

further how does it change the world 21 years later, how is the world in your mind differently configured today than it was when we were on our heels or are we back on her heels 21 years later. >> that may be a question we spent the next 41 years asking. we stated afghanistan 21 years ago it's not bipartisan or political. we all felt some kind of way in august 2021 because what we saw was a 20 year war coming to an end. if you're on one side of the aisle maybe you thought it was done well enough and if you're on the other side of the aisle maybe or aggravated about it. it was a 20 year war in response to what happened that day. more than 2000 americans, civilians, not service members, civilians losing their lives, not just new york, pennsylvania and at the pentagon. what we have done something as a country at moments was amazing in that moment so shameful.

what changed the most is we learned as a country we could go to work for 20 years and most of us not really feel it. that's an amazing thing but also something we should think about and maybe before we go to war again or let something like this happened again as voters and civilians and citizens. all the passion and anger we call 9/11 we should apply a little better every single day to pay attention to who were elected in office and listen to the words that they say and hold them accountable and have expectations of national security from our southern borders afghanistan to have expectations a part of the decision when we decide to vote for someone. i hope that that's change to help americans over the last 20 years especially last year took into consideration how much power we have and what responsibility we still have in our vote and are staying informed can affect those th things. rachel: we say never forget but we also say never again.

that's what frustrated me when i saw the video the package the 20 minute video brought me back to and i felt the anger. i feel my anger is not just bringing justice to those weird people on today the said we have a broad justice yet. there people in gitmo and saudi arabia who haven't paid what they did for american citizens here but i'm also angry about our military. i read an article earlier today from generals who were same or less prepared our military is not as strong as it was back then. i don't know if you agree with that assessment but i certainly don't feel like a government is learning the lessons of 9/11 in a don't feel that way will be no 81 unknown terrorist came across our southern border and it doesn't seem to be big news except on fox news in the last year. that is frightening to me and were taken off her shoes air

airport. >> when i joined the marine corps in 2005 i felt like i was a good kid but i was weak mentally and physically. i needed to be hardened and toughened. i have every bit of faith the marine service today had been hardened and toughened. i was on a leader i was a staff sergeant a round-trip i let hands. troops on hundreds of thousands. i pray every day that our military has a leadership that it needs because i know has limited women that it needs and i know as a round-trip and has what it needs. i hope the leadership that he needs to lead in the next five and we were still fighting that's recognized to put into position of power. let me tell you the most important the strongest warrior isn't the one with the most training or the hardest punt. the strongest lawyer is the one that understands the risk and has a rigid commitment to run towards a fight. we have heard the stories about

civilians and first responders all morning long were talking about red bandanna, you guys interviewed heather shelley a fire pilot that would, causing herself to save lives. we all know the story of stephen siller who ran through the battery tunnel to get to the fight. americans run to the fight when they understand the fight in the fight to happen. they also rented danger to save lives. i'm never more pr prouder to ben american when i hear the stories and reminded of them. i hate that we do this once a i hate that we do this once a it's so easy to forget. thank good for fox news channel to remind us that american civilians, wells was a finance guy, he was 24 years old, they did find a an application to

become a new york city firefighter, we're talking about someone that crunched numbers for a living, no discernable w warroir ethos, he ran to save two done dozen people. our cul culture should be to hor that. we need to honor those who bleed for the things they believe in. and we need to promote that among our kids, to be that kind warri of or, a quiet, benevolent, always ready and courageous warrior, that's the people who built the country and i hope that's who we still are. >> joey, hear, hear, you brought her up, by the way, heather penny, a former fighter pilot with the d.c. national guard. it's a story not many of us are aware of. pete interviewed her earlier. it's a fascinating story about someone willing to make the ultimate sacrifice among orders,

to kamikaze her plane. >> in the military we don't train for suicide missions because we value our war fighters. they're part of our unique capabilities to be able to apply instruments of national power but we were in a position where unless we had those missiles, there was no other choice. when we finally got the authorization to launch, because again, we couldn't just take off of our own volition there at andrews air force base. we knew we were based there right next to the nation's capital but we had to have authorization from our civilian leadership to allow us to take off especially given the magnitude of what we knew the target was. there was nothing special about what we were willing to do and what the passengers on flight 93 did do. this kind of h heroism is inside each of us. i just wish it didn't take a national crisis to bring that

hheroism out. rachel: such a great point of. joey, this morning i was reading the story of s shana nicuei, e mother of corrine who died at the abbygate when the terrorist exploded himself. he was fighting that 21 year war as we were trying to exit it. here's -- i want you to hear -- you talked about honoring those who served. she's is so angry because she says that our president has refused to say the names of the fallen 13 during the state of the union address. he never mentioned their names. and she compared it to the way he honored, for example, george floyd. how do we get back to that kind of honoring of people who gave their lives in such a -- my heart just broke for her,

hearing that. >> listen, in politics the first thing you don't do is ever admit when you're wrong or acknowledge things that look bad on you. i think that's where the president's mind was at. i hate that, i really do. we at fox news channel, we as combat veterans, we as mothers and husbands and fathers and wives and sons and daughters, we acknowledge those that have given their lives and sacrificed their happiness for our freedom and our safety and security and we never stop doing it. we do it every day. and today it's those that sacrificed their lives on 9/11 to save others. that's what we do and we do it every day. we don't wait on a politician to do it because, listen, they're not leaders most of the time anyway. >> joey, you're a great voice for our generation. thank you for joining us this morning. stick around a, we may get a chance to come back the to you and we're looking at like images of joe biden laying a memorial wreath at the pentagon and right

now the ringing of the bell of the second tower being instruct. [bell] ♪ ♪ >> maria bare. >> max j belky. >> in commence the reading of the names. that was the ringing of the bell, flight 175 crashing into the south tower which would be the first tower to collapse.

we're joined by frank siller, tunnel of you tower ceo is with us. he will join us for the rest of the hour. frank, you hear the bell ring, that moment of silence, as our world changed. >> yeah. well, so that second towers was hit, the south tower was hit secondly and the first one to fall, 9:59 we'll hear another ringing of the bell. that's the moment i remember turning to my mother-in-law and saying nancy, i think i just lost my brother, not knowing how he got there, that he ran through a tunnel with gear on his back to get there. it was a frantic scene for all 9/11 family members. we were trying to find out, especially first responder family members, what happened to our loved ones, who was coming home, who wasn't coming home. i could say that the mode down here is incredible. people are not forgetting the ones that are here, for sure. we started today off, you covered it, with a prayer service we had with many

different family members. >> mayor guliani was there as well. >> he was there. he read a beautiful scripture. the country needs to get back to prayer and to ask god that we come together as one country. when they try to divide us, they don't, when they do things like that, they absolutely unite us. rachel: how long did it take before you knew what happened to your brother? >> it took a while because he was -- we didn't know how he got there because the tunnel was closed. he was on his way home from work. his company had already responded but we knew he went back and got his fire gear because they said his gear was gone. he was on a list of missing firefighters pretty early on but we were able to piece it together when somebody saw him, an eyewitness saw p him get out of his struck, screeching halt, hopped out of his truck, put gear on his back and ran into the tower, to the tunnel, excuse me and people saw him in the tunnel, different eyewitnesses

saw him in the tunnel and a fire truck, 124 saw him and brought him up to liberty and west street, which was the a last place he was seen alive before he ran into the south tower. i'm sure it was the south tower. even though he was never recovered. that's where he lost 11 of his brothers. >> we're joined by one of those warriors who fought in the days after, the years after, 9/11, joey joneses is with us from houston, texas. joey brought it up earlier. of course can we are reliving and remembering the horrors of that day. we want to focus on the heroes like your brother, frank, like we always do. joey brought up wells krowt had. he was an equity trader. he was a volunteer firefighter. he became known as the man in

the red bandanna. i know you are familiar with his story. >> this is what he said to his coworkers. all right. with this red bandana, i'm going to change the world. his coworkers said why do you have a red bandanna at work all the time. >> he said this -- >> before 9/11. with this red bandanna i'm going to change the world. his mother was so proud of him. he died with such purpose. it's incredible. >> you bring up his mother. we'll bring you back in, in a moment, joey. let's hear from his mother, allison krowther about the things her son did that day in the south tower. >> this bandanna is for messy jobs, you keep it in your back pocket and pull it out for a messy job. it's always kept a red bandanna at his office desk and he was teased about it. she said to him, wells, why do you keep that red bandanna on your desk, why do you carry that with you all the time and wells

picked it up with this red bandanna i'm going to change the world. >> a story of heroism, joey, that we know and thankfully that's a video produced by your organization, tunnel for towers. but so many names we won't know, acts of heroism i'm sure we'll never hear and the same goes for the battlefield, the quiet done in distant places with your brothers next to you, a mission that may feel amore fuss to people here -- amo rphous here at home. a generation of people committed to a cause. >> so many of the heroes on 9/11 are firefighters and police officers of when i went to afghanistan in 2010 i went with a full-time fireman from tennessee, daniel grier. he was already a full-time fireman. there's no telling the horrors he saw and the lives he saved

working as a 235 fireman in cenl tennessee. hhe felt like because of what happened on 9/11 to go serve in the marine corps. he begged to go on deployment. he felt that was his responsibility. he wasn't looking for glory or a medal. the chances of him getting a combat valor award were pretty small. he felt it was his responsibility and when i got to afghanistan with him, it became his responsibility especially in his mind to keep me safe as i did my job. when i stepped on a bomb in 2010 that bomb took his life. he was there in that moment doing what he was doing because he felt responsible for me, for other marines and ultimately other americans and if we can find anything to put in a bottle and serve to everyone in this country it's a little bit of what steve stiller had and daniel grier had in their soul, who they were. i don't know if the two of them would win a fist fight on the street or be the snarkyest

smartest person on twitter. sometimes it seems that's what we reward. their lives were on the line willingly to save other american, not to take lives, not to be vindictive but to save lives and that's what we need to remember that in the world of cancel culture and pitting one another against each other there was a generation that wasn't that far removed from today that hopefully can be recreated that loved the country and the people in it so much, their lives were worth risking and giving to save others, to give us a chance to aacknowledge them and say this s the way forward, this is the path forward for america. not this bickering we do, not the getting our feelings hurt and being offended and every day having something to be mad about. every single day we having to be greatful about. that -- grateful about. that we can never repay. if we can use today to remember them and try to be more like them, not only will we be better

but the world will be a better place and i still believe in that version of us or i wouldn't do this job, i would find something else to do. i do what i do because i believe in us and i believe in america and i believe that those that sacrificed their lives and made those commitments on 9/11 and thereafter, i believe that spirit still lives in my 13-year-old son and his friends and the kids of those of us that fought these wars. rachel: well said. frank, how important of was rudy giuliani's leadership on that day? >> it was incredible. he almost lost his life on that day. rachel: i know. >> when the south tower fell. but so many of the guys that were around a him that day and served tell me how courageous he was and how immediately and calmly that he took control of the whole situation. rudy's a good friend of mine. he's been a great supporter of the tunnel for to you 0:wears foundation -- for towers foundation. i say he saved new york twice,

once from the crime ridden city it was. rachel: such a great point. >> of course gaffed wards on 9/11 and -- and of course afterwards on 9/11, that's why he is america's mayor. >> we've had various conversations throughout the morning about whether or not the lessons, the memory of 9/11 is living on. whether or not subsequent generations are understanding what it meant that day and what it means to us as a nation. from your perspective, from where you sit, do you think younger generations understand that moment in time, what it revealed about our character, who we are, who we need to be. >> 100% no. they are not learning. they don't know. had they didn't live it and see it like i lived through, like you lived through it. so it is up to our schools and the parents of america to make sure that we teach our children, their children and their children about the story of 9/11 and the acts of heroism. joey served our country.

how many people signed up after that. it was just a call to duty just like the firefighters and police officers that day and that's why tunnels for towers we started the 9/11 institute, tunnel for towers 9/11 institute and we have a comprehensive program that you can download that teach you, from your home as a parent, you can teach lessons to your children by uploading the curriculum that we put together. rachel: such a great point. we can sit and complain about what's not happening in school. >> it's up to us. rachel: it's up to the parents. great point. i love that that's something your foundation is putting out there. >> and no is scary answer. i love -- >> it's 100%. >> i loved your answer. i want to believe that. i think in a lot of families especially where for us who embrace it, we're teaching our kids that. but you can't muster a defense like we did 21 years ago if you have young people who don't believe their country is good. do you agree that we're not

telling the story properly and if we're not, what do we do about it? >> is that to me, pete? >> that was to you. sorry. my apologies, joey. >> you want joey, right? >> i have the greatest respect for frank siller, i'm not going to jump in front of him ever on an interview or anything. it's tough, guys. i'm trying my best to pull from every more sell of me to have -- morsel of me to have a positive message. we all see what the problems are, we see what we're struggling with culturally in our country and the difference between accepting someone for who they are and being demonized for not understanding it and the difference between accepting our country had troubles in the past and being demonized for not letting that define us you. what we're working on now isn't about wokeness or

progressiveness or conservatism, but we're working to keep the next generation of americans in love with it. how can you not be in love with this country? i'm a guy that doesn't have legs. if i walk out on the stright stt there isn't a person out there who isn't willing to help me. very few. that's who we are in reality. we have to bring that back to the public discussion. we have to bring that back to public schools. we have to quit severing our nature as a group of individuals so vastly different but still in love with one another. we have to quit severing that truth from what is our stated culture and how we act in public discussion or schools or politics. we can't allow politicians and union heads and people who call themselves community leaders, we can't you allow them to divide us for the purpose of enriching themselves and in my opinion that's the root of the evil that plagues us today because it's not human nature, american nature to be this way.

rachel: amen. >> if we are not remembering, if we are not teaching it to these generations it strikes me we're not only unprepared for the eventuality that it could happen again but we're raising a generation of people who do not understand what to do in response if it happens again, we're raising a generation of people who won't understand what it's worth to defend. rachel: 9/11, these people from the outside attacked our country from the inside. the reason we fight things like crt and racial anymous, the fight is among ourselves. we have to build back bonds as american as you talked about, joey. there's so much more we have in common as americans and i resent those who are trying to divide us by race and politics and whatever it is, because as you say, will, we won't be strong enough to face another 9/11 if that happened again. >> i would say this, that i know that if we were attacked america

would come together again p. there's no question about that. there's divide, for sure. but we to love this country. we're proud of this country. without this country where would the world be, simply be. i'm around people all the time. i travel around the country, i meet people like joey and so many other people who really do love america and i think the --i think more people love america than don't. rachel: i hope so. >> it's all about putting it in the bloodstream for the next generation. frank and joey, you're doing your part. thank you for joining us, great guests to remember and joey as always, thanks for everything you do. frank, if you would stick with us for the rest of the hour, we would love to have you. stay tuned while our 9/11 coverage continues here in lower manhattan. ♪ >> we're following another big story today as the coffin carrying queen elizabeth the second is en route to s scotlan.

♪ >> this year we remember 9/11 grens the backdrop marking one year -- against the backdrop marking one year since the botched withdrawal from afghanistan. rachel: our next guest helped evacuate nearly 10,000 people from afghanistan during the chaotic operation. >> former army sniper tim kenny served in afghanistan. he joins us now. great to have you this morning. we reflect back on this event 21 years ago today, also the event of one year ago as we left

afghanistan and the operation which you played such a major role in, getting so many allies out of afghanistan. as we do, tim, what are your thoughts this morning? >> my heart's broken. september 11th is always a tough day. i love joey jones. i love you, brother. i'm so proud to call you a friend. it's so important for us to focus on all of the good that happened on that day as we lost thousands of lives that started a 20 year war, it began and stopped in afghanistan and the terrible things that happened during the evacuation of afghanistan, 13 service members that died, we let in over 50 people that really should never have come to this country. we left hundreds, maybe thousands, tens of thousands of our allies behind. but i always -- mr. rogers when he was asked about in light of all the terrible things that are happening in this world, what

should we be doing, how do you stay positive, how do you stay a joey jones. he said something profound that i always focus on, heed said look to the helpers. on this day, when we hear about pilots that are thinking about doing kamikaze mission into a plasson to save their lives or a guy running into a burning building, story after story, the heroism of flight 93 where they sat there and raised their hands and voted, they're going to fight and prevent the plane from flying into an unknown building at the time. we know what it was now. they knew they had to stop it. they were the helpers. they were the ones that stood up. now, 21 years removed from this war, we lost 7,000 service members in combat. and we're losing -- we lost four times that many to suicide. so the second and third order effects of the war of what started on 9/11, those are the things that i always try to look back to is who are the helpers, who is stepping up to volunteer

our young men and women that volunteered to go overseas and do good in our country's behalf and all those people that ran toward that dust cloud of those falling buildings. you know, as hard as that fight to keep the hate down and anger of what happened on this day, all i have to do is to look to the amazing americans that stepped up to try to save lives. >> tim, you're exactly right. we're right to shine the spotlight on remembering the heroism of that day, remembering the sacrifices, the 21 years since. you looked the enemy in the eye. you were there helping evacuate people with the taliban there. have we internalized the threat of islamism and radical is al--islam and the desire to cone to expand. as a country, as a government, do we understand how to properly take it on and that it's probably not nation-building for

20 years. >> radical anything is dangerous. you put radical in front of any religion and you get on a slippery slope of dangerous people. i think if we take a strategic step back and look at a afghanistan are we safer now 21 years removed from 9/11 than we were before? as we look at our southern border, that's crumbling. we have 80, 90, # hundred people, -- 100 people, that's the number they're admitting but it's much higher, highest meth delivery. china, the strategic dangers of what's happening globally, are we safer? another question we have to answer, the recruiting goals, we're failing across the nation. are we prepared to answer the call again if another 9/11 happened, fewer people are wanting to serve their country. we have to be able to answer these questions, why are we not

in a better position now than we were then, how did we not learn our lesson, how did we repeat the mistake we made, april 30th, 1975 saigon, the same thing we go in afghanistan, evacuating people off the back and generosity of americans, these are things we have to address, these are strategic level questions and strategic level problems that thank god for fox news stepping up to always try to bring light to dangerous questions. on 9/11, they seemed so much more relevant. seem so important, especially as we move into an election year. we have to pay attention to what's happening now and what happened historically could so we don't make the same miss takes. 9/11 is one of those -- mistakes. then is one of those important days. rachel: i couldn't agree with you more, tim. i have so many questions. why did it take 21 years? we're the greatest force in the world. i mean, we have to understand why did it take 21 years. i'm going to ask you, if 9/11

happened again, and you mentioned some of the threats we have coming across our southern border, the recruitment issues we have, are we ready, do we have what it takes right now to respond properly and effectively and lethally to dangers like that? >> september 10th, 2001, had you asked that question to whoever was sitting in this seat i think they would have had all of these reservations, this anxiety, concern, maybe apprehensions about being able to answer it. now, knowing hindsight is perfectly clear of what happened on september 11th and what the world looked like on september 112th, do you -- september 12th, do you remember what that world looked like, flags on every doorstep, the queen playing our star spangled banner in front of her pal a has for the first time -- palace for the first time in history, that happened tomorrow as they're burying her right now. that was unity. we talk about solidarity. let's talk about america on

september 12th of 2001. we have never been a perfect country but i want americans to remember who we are. we stormed beaches. we climbed cliffs. you drop bombs on us at pearl harbor, we ran up and planted a flag on one of of your strategic hills. you started killing people throughout europe, we stormed your beaches and we beat you all the way back to your capital until huh had to get on your knees and beg for your lives. that's what we're capable of. that's what we always will be able to do because we're the strongest nation in the world and the strongest nation in history. let's not forget who and what americans are and we'll always be ready to answer the call. >> frank, do you have a question? >> thank you, sergeant major. look, our tunnel for towers foundation, our mission is to make sure we never forget. we have a run that retraces what my brother did 21 years ago when he ran through you the brooklyn

battery tunnel, we have 40,000 people that join us. this year we're honoring 13 families that lost our lives, the last 13 service members that gave their lives in afghanistan. we will make sure we never forget. listening to you, i know we're in good hands, sir. you are one fierce warrior. >> you're an amazing man. thank you for everything you do. >> thank you, sir. >> tim kennedy, a wonderful voice also. feels like we've had many of them this morning, voices of this generation of those that were part of the collective response of our nation after 9/11. and you continue to serve, tim. thank you so much for being with us this morning. rachel: thank you, tim. >> bless you. >> you got it. our next guest was in new york city 21 years ago on the morning everything change. rachel: he watched the first plane fly over him before it crashed into the north tower of the world trade center. >> fox news anchor eric shawn joins us on set in lower

manhattan. great to have you with us this morning, where you were 21 years ago. >> it's amazing. i always say it's 21 years but it doesn't seem like one day has gone by. and frank, i want to thank you so much for what you do. on behalf of your brother, the foundation is fantastic. you come down here and i would urge all viewers to come when they come to new york city to see the 9/ 9/11 museum, to go to the center. it is such a peaceful place of memories and solace and such contrast to what happened here 21 years ago. i was coming to work here at fox news that morning and the first plane went over my head, american airlines flight 11, it was very loud. i looked up. he was kind of crabbing, going sideways and really loud and sloppy. it went right over my head. i looked and i was like holy -- damn, he's low. your mind plays tricks. you think well, he's low.

he's going to go make a left and a left and a left and go from the north to laguardia. then i'm thinking he's not high enough to the clear the office building before penn station where rush limbaugh did his show for years, where wabc is. i thought that's a big building. a few people on the street looked up. then he turned and that was him turning directly to go into the world trade center. and then it was primary day. there was local news. i was a local reporter for years here. the guys, i knew everybody, and they were like a plane hit the world trade center. i ran into the office and they were saying a small plane may have been lost in the sky and i said i saw the plane, it's a 737, it's an airliner and they said get up on the air right away and jon scott was on and i went on with jon scott. rachel: did you know in that moment that it was terrorism or did you think it was --

>> i knew when the plane hit it was terrorism. that's what makes me so damn mad about this. our government knew. i knew. the first radical islamic terrorism attack in america was november 5th, 1990, the assassination in a marriott hotel by el sayedne nosir. he was part of the air conditioning repairman, he was part of a radical islamic terrorism cell in brooklyn and jersey city and we didn't follow this up. the fbi didn't translate the boxes of materials in his house. nasir was the one who shot him. we had the bombing in 1993. we had the landmark bombing plot in 1995 and the government did not protect us but i want -- i'm not blaming the government. it is radical islamic terrorism,

let's call it what it is. let's not be afraid to what it is. radical islamic terrorism. they want to kill us. they want to come here. i believe they are here. and although the threat has receded somewhat in the past number of years it is still here. it is still in afghanistan. and we always have to be on guard against it. >> amen. >> that's so interesting, eric a. we played earlier today the live footage in the 8:00 hour of the events of that morning and a it always shocks me to read, see and hear that every year, how quickly the name osama bin laden was uttered. i had never heard the name of osama bin laden and didn't appreciate the threat of radical islam before 9/11. you clearly did. do you feel we're slipping back into that mindset. i hear that in you today. it's like we have gone to a pre-9/11 mindset of not understanding the threat once again. >> i think because there hasn't been a radical islamic terrorist

attack in recent years that we have kind of forgotten that the threat is out there. we have had other domestic terrorist threats in our country but that has not reduced i believe the threat of radical islamic terrorism. i knew osama bin laden because they were responsible for taking down the embassies in kenya and tanzania and the warning marks were there and i am astounded to this day that john o'neil who was with the fbi and he became the head of security of the world trade center, he was killed on 9/11 on this day, 21 years ago. he warned -- you knew those towers were going to be attacked. ramsey youseff. he was in the helicopter with the fbi agents and he said we tried to bring those down in 1993. they put a van next to the garage, they thought one tower

would hit the other. he told us, he told the fbi agents we're going to be back and do it again and they were and we're suffering the consequences of that horrendous philosophy to this day. >> in a moment, by the way, 9:37, a third bell will ring to observe the time that hijacked flight 77 struck the pentagon and there will be a moment of silence as soon as that happens. we'll bring it to you. but to your point, eric, it's worth emphasizing, we have a government now that calls it radical extremism. right. as if it's sort of some form of extremism not connected to anything. >> militants. they're militants. >> mill stands. militants.>> they're militantse extremists. >> rachel pointed out there's a southern border that is effectively wide open. how many got aways are there. if you've got an ideology and opportunity at hand, it's scary. >> absolutely is. thank a any for what you do, thank -- thankfully for what you do, thank you for what you do, we know about it.

we just hope our government will continue to protect us. rachel: we pray for that. >> we have a prayer at the pentagon and a moment of silence to observe. >> we remember our f fallen, 21 years ago today in this very place at 0937. ♪

>> and eric, we just -- that moment of silence commemorating when flight 77 struck the pentagon and that's when it became about a lot more than just manhattan. at a that moment we thought maybe it was just the towers, now it's the pentagon. that's when panic set in. >> it was astounding that day when that happened, we knew that it could be not just locally but nationwide and as we know with flight 93, potentially targeting the capitol, that this was a much wider spread attack on this nation. rachel: can i speak to you on that? we had a guest on earlier who said it's not just osama bin laden and the terrorist network he said there are fbi documents showing the saudi governments was tied to that. what do you know about that and what should be done about it. >> princess of the saudi government did give money to

charity to that went to one of the hundreders of the hijackers -- helpers of the hijackers in san diego. the saudi government has denied that they had any involvement, direct involvement at all but wahbiism is a philosophy they teach in saudi arabia and there are classified documents that i think should be released. rachel: me too. >> let's release the classified documents and see if there's a direct connection and direct support of saudi arabia and iran. let's not forget iran that harbored al-qaida for years and helped according to reports helped transfer these people to our country. we knew to know the truth. they're an ally but we need to know the full truth if they were indeed complicit with this attack on our country. >> bring this full circle, i lettered you say this -- heard you say this a few moments ago. we seem to ignore the threat before 9/11 and you said the

threat exists today and i believe you used the words, they are here today. >> i believe that, yes. i believe there are believes. of course there are. the question is, of course the question is will they take aca shun. there have been talks of sleeper cells. i'm not talking about a sleeper cells. let's talk about someone who believes in the radical islamic philosophy. they've been radicalized online. they could be foreigners. they could be americans. we've seen american citizens radicalized online, sitting in their basements reading this crap. >> who went to fight for the th caliphate. rachel: the first time they're serious about that would be the closing and securing of the southern border and that has not happened. >> i don't even think you need that you can be born and raised in america. rachel: of course. >> and be mentally ill and follow this philosophy.

that's what i'm concerned about. i know we talk about lone wolves, the subway bombing plot of a young man to bomb the new york city subways, a guy to takes a van and packs it full of explosives and parks it next to time square. the threat is here. it seems that authorities have been on it. i'm concerned it will take us by surprise one day, i'm sorry to say. rachel: eric shawn, thank you. you're a piece of history. i knows you don't like hearing that but you are. >> thank you eric. >> thank you for what you do. >> 21 years ago today maria bartiromo was live from the stock exchange sharing her firsthand account moments after witnessing the second plane hit the south tower. maria: i just came back from outside and i am covered with soot, basically i was outside when the this explosion occurred. the whole area turned pitch black when that third explosion

happened. i don't know if you can see my jacket and my shoes but i'm completely covered in white smoke. rachel: nearly a week later, mamaria was also there when the markets reopened with the first responders ringing the bell, giving america hope and strength to carry on. >> she joins us now this morning. good morning, maria. thanks for being with us. tell us your thoughts on this day. maria: well, good morning, everyone. such an a incredibly solemn day, an important day for us to remember our friends and neighbors who parished and -- --perished and to give tri t abt and a love and support -- tribute and a love and support to first responders who saved so many. i'm glad you brought up september 17th. because on september 17th when i was on the floor of the new york stock exchange, and we were all still in shock. we looked up at that podium and

it was the firefighters and it was the nypd and it was the first rear corresponders and a it was -- first responders and it was the mayor and governor and senators and congressmen and we all looked at each other. i looked up. everybody on the floor was looking up. and we were still in shock. we were in such mourning. we lost our friends. we lost our family. we could not believe what just happened. but we had strength. we looked at those people at the podium and they moved us forward and they gave us the strength and the confidence to say we will rise again and we will get through this and we will fight back and we will get tougher and we will be strong again and it was such an important message on september 17th, just a week after the dreadful day of

september 11th. on that day, i was in the new york stock exchange doing the morning show for another network. i saw the first plane go into the first tower on television. i ran outside, ran to the corner of broadway and wall street. and i stood there on broadway and wall street with everybody else onlookers and we were shocked, trying to figure out what happened. i went back up, went back down, when i was down on the street corner i watched the second plane go into the second tower. and that's when somebody next to me said oh, my god, this is terrorism, the world will never be the same. and i said what? is that what -- and we were just trying to figure out what happened. when i went back into the exchange and i was talking about that third explosion, i was talking about when the buildings began to come down. the buildings come down. everybody is on the street. we all run for our lives.

we don't know what noise and what a just happened. but the whole area turns black. you couldn't even open your eyes. there was so much stuff in the air from the buildings. so you were walking but you had to keep your eyes closed because of the soot and the computers and the papers and everything flying out of those buildings. i don't have to tell our viewers the extraordinary day it was and the emotion that we all feel. but what we have to remember is the strength and the unity that we got after we understood what took place. the strength and the unity that we had when we knew we were under attack. the adversaries are against freedom. the adversaries are against america. we must stay strong and a unified. somehow, we must come together. i just pray for my friends that

they're in when my dad and they are looking down on us and trying to give us the strength we need. we're talking about that this morning. i've got the former secretary of state mike pompeo coming on. the gop leader, kevin mccarthy coming on. herschel walker who is running for the senate seat in georgia and maya flores from the border to talk about the issues that are real, the issues that this country faces, and how we can come together to actually fix these things because the adversaries are real. we saw it on september 11th. and we see it every day. .rachel: wow. so amazing to hear your firsthand testimony, maria. i've known you for a while. i never heard it in your voice like that and it's very touching. thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> we know you'll continue with

phenomenal coverage here today. rachel: amazing to hear that. thank you. >> very powerful. rachel: frank, what are your thoughts hearing that. >> it's gut wrenching. it brings me back to it. my brother was training at squad one. he told me all the time we're going to get hit. we're going to get hit. i mean, all the time. he told me that. and i was thi thinking of gene ragio, who was a friend, worked for port authority. in 1 19393 -- 1993 -- eric was talking about the signs. there's was an iconic picture, blood coming out his forehead. he survives 1993. 2001, he calls his wife and says don't of worry, i'm okay. goes back in because he was known of the mayor of the twin towers, he knew everything about it and gave his life. there's so many stories that

have to be told. we want to make sure we never forget. that's why we're going to honor the 13 service members this year in the tunnels for towers. rachel: never forget. >> you do a wonderful job. we appreciate it. president biden will deliver remarks moments from now at the ppentagon. he was laying a breathe in lower manhattan -- a wreath in lower manhattan moments ago. he goes to the pentagon to mark 21 years since the attack. >> ceremonies began earlier this morning including the unfunfurling of the american flg at dawn. rachel: lucas tomlinson is there live with pour. lucas, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. we're moments away from president biden speaking at the pentagon, the third target for al-qaida on 9/11. as has been tradition for the last 21 years at that time pentagon, a large american flag was unfurled just moments after sun rise in the pouring rain,

bagpipes were playing amazing grace to honor the 184 people killed at the pentagon on september 11th, 2001. 64 people were aboard american airlines flight 77, the boeing 757 was hijacked by five al-qaida terrorists, all saudi men, 30 minutes after a taking off, the airliner slammed into the west side of the pentagon at 9:37 a.m. on 9/11. the tradition is the reading of the names, moments ago the faulkner family spoke. [bell ringing] >> d donna bogan and zoey falconburg. >> the youngest victim was 3-year-old dana falconburg. she and her sister were you

aboard flight 77. day that a would be 24 years old today. also on board a group of students from southeast d.c.'s neighborhood including these 11-year-old sixth grade students, rodney dickens and bernard you brown. they've been chosen to participate in a program sponsored by national geographic. here is president biden. >> still feel the ache, the missing piece of our soul. i'm honored to be here with you once more to share this solemn right of remembrance and reflect on all that was lost in the fire and ash on that terrible september morning. and all that we found on ourselves to respond. 21 years ago, 21 years and we still kept our promise to never

forget. we'll keep the memory of all those precious lives stolen from us. 2977 at ground zero in new york and shanksville where my wife is speaking now, pennsylvania, 184 of them at the pentagon and i know for all those of you who lost someone, 21 years is both a lifetime and no time at all. it's good to remember. these memories help us heal. but they can also open up the hurt and take us back to that moment when the grief was so raw. we think of everything. everything they could have done if they lived and just had a little more time. the experience you miss together, the dreams they never got to fulfill or realize. i remember a message sent to the

american people from queen elizabeth. it was on september 11th. her ambassador read a prayer of service at st. thomas church in new york where she reminded us, quote, grief is the price we pay for love. grief is the price we pay for love. many have experienced that grief and you've all a experienced that and on this day when the price feels so great, jill and i are holding all of you close to our hearts. the air was filled with smoke and then came the sirens and the stories. stories of those we lost, stories of an incredible here roveism heroism from that terrible day.

the american story changed that day. what we did change, what we will not change, what we cannot change, never will, is the character of this nation that the terrorists thought they could wound. what is that character? the character of sacrifice and love, of generosity and grace, of strength and resilience, the crcrucible of 9/11, the days and months that followed, we saw what struck, what americans are made of. think of all of your loved ones, particularly those on that flight, ordinary citizens who said we will not let this stand. risked and lost their lives so even more people would not die. we saw it in the police officers

and firefighters who stood on the pile on ground zero for months amid that twisted steel and broken concrete slabs, breathing the toxins and ash that would of damage their health. refusing, refusing to stop the search through the destruction. they never stopped and would not. we learned about the ex extraordinary courage and resolve of the passengers on-board flight 93 who understood that they were living the open -- they were there in the middle of the open shot of a new war and who chose to fight back, not professionals, to fight back, sacrificing themselves, refusing to let their plane be used as a weapon against even more innocents. and here at the pentagon, which was both the scene of the

horrific terrorist attack and the command center for our response to defend and protect the american people, so many heros were made here, so many of your loved ones were those heroes. who began almost immediately, the civilians and service members, leaping to action as the walls collapsed and the roof began to crumble. they raced into the breach between the fourth and fifth corridors, the impact created by the fire raged at twice height of this building. i remember. i was a u.s. senator, walking up to my office and i could see the smoke and flames. there were heroes. they went back into those soaring flames to try to save their teammates. firefighters battled the blaze

long into the night, pushing past the won bounds of exhaustion. pentagon staff showed up to work on september 12th more determined than ever to keep their country secure. i said when i was up at 9/11, we will follow them to the gates of hell to be sure that they're not able to continue. and millions of young men and women from across the nation responded to nerve attacks with courage -- to 9/11 attacks with courage and resolve, signing up to defend our constitution and joining the greatest fighting force in the history of the world. and in the years since 9/11, hundreds of thousands of american troops have served in afghanistan, iraq and so many other places around the world to deny terrorists a safe haven and to protect the american people. and all our service members and

their families, our veterans, our gold star families, all the survivors and caregivers and loved ones who sacrificed so much for our nation, we owe you. we owe you an incredible, an incredible debt. a debt that can never be repaid, but we'll never fail to meet the sacred obligation to you to properly quip and prepare those we send into harm's ways and -- way and to care for them and their families when they come home x. to never, ever forget. with all that has changed over the last 21 years, the enduring resolve of the american people to defend ourselves against those who seek us harm and deliver justice to those responsible for the attacks against our people has never once falteredded. it took ten years to hunt down and kill osama men laden, but we

did -- osama bin laden, but we did. and this summer i authorized a successful strike onal sa what al-zawahiri, the deputy on 9/11 who was the leader of al-qaeda, because we will not rest. we'll never forget. we'll never give up. and now zawahiri can never again threaten the american people. twenty years after afghanistan is over, but our commitment to preventing another attack to the united states is without end. our intelligence, defense and counterterrorism professionals in the building behind me and across the government continue their vigilance against terrorist threats that has evolved and spread to new regions of the world. we'll continue to monitor and disrupt those terrorist activities wherever we find them, wherever they exist. and we'll never hesitate to do what's necessary to defend the american people. what was destroyed we have repaired. what was threatened we

fortified. what was attacked, the indomitable spirit has never, ever waveredded. we raised monuments and me memorials to the citizens whose blood sacrificed on these grounds and shanksville and ground zero to keep touch with the memory, keep it bright for all the decades to come -- will: president joe biden to observe a moment of silence and the ringing of the bell at the south tower.
