wake of the 911 terrorist attacks and by 2 will be speaking to the man who is chief of stuff to george w bush's secretary of state colin powell but 1st to one of the greatest chronic lives of the united states empire, a filmmaker explored both the horror of 911 and the planning of us imperialist was before and after 9112001, and join. now, by all of a stone oscar winning director and writer films like salvador j, f, k, world trade center, nixon, wolf, street, and platoon. all of a thanks so much for coming back. gone. happy birthday. that's what i got to say to you. first of all, i mean the commentators are all talking about how your films one way to cope with 911 the 20 or anniversary. can you see why $75.00 is very young and you should be putting out at least 2 or 3 feature films a year now. my father lived to about 75. exactly. so i think, i think, you know, modern times had been good to us and prosperity has been good to us and allowed us to live longer. so i'm grateful. and i hope i stay young and making films as tough . but i've been working really hard on these 2 documentaries that are c

killed in chunks, fell pennsylvania of fishes joining us from their island. former president george w bush's folk in shang so suited vice president comma, la harris, george w bush. of course, the man in charge when the attacks took place. one of the themes that was common to both of them was the unity of the united states. exactly. i press the button is actually just less than the last couple of minutes picking a helicopter, he'll be heading to the pentagon, the thought of the, the sites that were impacted by the events on 91120 years ago. he spent some time here at the memorial. he spoke to family members of the 40 passengers and crew who were on board the united flight 93. as it came down on the field here in charlottesville and then he went and spoke to members of the volunteer fire department who were cold into action on that day. 20 years ago. it was a day that george bush obviously remembers. we all remember the pictures of him being told that america is under attack as he read 2 primary school children in florida and then realizing just how it was. he talked about how this is a specia

vice president kamala harris and former president george w. bush both gave remarks in tribute to lives lost. i think it will be the former president's remarks that people are going to be talking about. he touched on this idea of unity and unity that he saw when he was leading the country on the days following 9/11. he said he believes the threat of domestic terror, domestic extremism is just as significant as any foreign extremist threat, an apparent reference to the january 6th insurrection. vice president kamala harris seized on the theme of unity, how it was really embodied by collective action of those aboard flight 93. as you may or may not see behind me, all these chairs are empty. that's because at the conclusion of this memorial, they opened a ceremonial gate for family members and friends of those lost to visit the crash site. that's so poignant. it is family members and friends fighting to get this memorial. some of them believe what happened in shanksville is often forgotten in the larger conversation about 9/11, that most attention is o

unlike people like i don't know, george w. bush was the governor of texas sure jeb bush his brother the former governor of florida who been working to cultivate relationships with latino overlong period of time i was in the same thing about richard nixon thinking about george h.w. bush, ronald reagan and the same thing about democrats even barack obama and bernie sanders he did really well among latinos in the primaries. joe biden did not have a natural connection historically, personally, and so i think that led him and many around him to push off recruiting latinos until after the democratic convention 2020. and that did not work out terribly well for him. >> we do know the bush family, george w. bush, they have latino representation in their family. there is hispanic representation there. as a route leading up into the 2020 election in the candidacy for donald trump, did it seem -- to be worried is not a good word but looking at some of these inroads that republicans were making with hispanics over the years? was there any fear

class movie, some people i think you yourself said, you know, you save the politics for w about george w bush and his response. but do you think, well trade center and why you like the phil is because there's something about the american working class there in it. it was a pure film for me. it was something that i did it because i thought there was so much that it was 4 years after the event and there was resistance to making it even then because it was close to it and we shot some of it in new york city. so we had a lot of opposition from political groups. we had to negotiate the tight rope there to get close to the world trade center and to do it. but the point of it was that these men exist to these 2 men, this their story and their families, and the rescuers who came to save them. they were the 18th and 18th, 19 survivors out of 20 survivors out of the world trade center. $18.19 they were under there under there for about 30 hours 36 hours and the rescuers took there took great risks to get down into the rubble. it was such a mess and the real rescuers played themselves. most of the neigh

george w bush, us president at the time of the attacks recalled that day and sacrifices made since there were shot at the city of abel and gratitude for their wisdom and decency that are posted in this terrified of the 1st responders in the mutual aid of strangers, in the solidarity of grief and grace, the actions of anatomy revealed the spirit of a people at the pentagon, still grappling with the u. s. withdrawal from afghanistan, the focus was on the victims, and the day that started at all the united states. longest war now over perhaps, but not the vow to never forget the day that started at all. christian salumi al jazeera new york and gabriella liaison. those live in new york for us overlooking ground, 0 gabriel. every year of course the us, your commemorates the events of $911.00. so how was the atmosphere different this year? i think there was added reflection this year, particularly for 2 reasons. number one, as we just been talking about this has been 20 years, exactly 2 decades. and i think the just the fact that it has been 2 decades says allowed people to think back about th

but i do think george w. bush of honor. we are joined today, of course, by the family and friends of the 40 passengers and crew members of flight 93 and we stand today with all of those who lost someone on september 11th, 2001, and in the aftermath of the attacks. so many in our nation, too many in our nation, have deeply felt the passage of time these last 20 years. every birthday a loved one missed. every holiday. every time her favorite team won or his favorite song came on the radio. every time you've tucked in your children or dropped them off at college. you have felt every day, every week, and every year that has passed these 20 years. so please know your nation sees you and we stand with you and we support you. we are gathered today on hollowed ground at this place that has been sanctified by sacrifice, to honor the heroism the passengers and crew members showed in the face of grave terrorism. i remember when i first learned about what happened on that fateful flight, what happened on flight 93 told us the

i think donald trump has -- you can accurately say yes, george w. bush got us into the war and i, as you know, i broke with the president, president bush over the war but i think this is about donald trump sees public service as a sign of weakness and the bush family including george w. for the mistakes he made was dedicated in their lives to public service. donald trump never thinks about things in relation to public service or servant leadership. i think george w. bush was right to say the biggest thing, the biggest problem facing america today is not coming from overseas, it's right here in our country and the finger is pointed directly at donald trump and what he's done. >> so president bush, you know, to your point this was clear that's what he meant but didn't mention trump by name on saturday. of course, as you know, he's eluded to trump in critical ways before. the difference in this case was of course this was september 11th. an important day, a solum day, a 20th anniversary and a day that is, you know, central to the entire legacy of george w.

president bush —— present w bush drew a line between extremis and the us hijackers saying that they shared an intolerance. and present biden asked about president georgeunity was america's greatest strength. so, there we have the pentagon memorial there, the president visiting the place where 184 people lost their lives 20 years ago on september the 11th. samantha, now back to you in london. laura, thank you very much. we will have more from laura a little later this hour. now, let's take a look at some of the other top stories today. the bbc understands that lawyers for prince andrew are challenging a claim that court papers relating to allegations against him of sexual assault have been properly served. representatives of virginia giuffre, who has made the claims, say that they were. a us judge will decide if the case can proceed on monday. the duke of york has always strongly denied the accusations. 0ur royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. royal lodge, prince andrew's home in windsor great park. it was here two weeks ago that a representative of virginia giuffre's american lawyers attempted to serve the court papers on prince andrew. this

and as we've heard from george w bush, who was president in 2001 we do the tax occurred and also from the statements from joe biden and comma le harris. that right now, this is where they are appealing to you for unity, even as there are allegations that donald trump is doubling down on division on a very painful day for so many millions of american politics aside. kimberly, how are people in the u. s. viewing this memorial, given the fact that we all know 20 years away from the original attacks. well, you know, there are some that are now college age are in university that have no recollection of these events simply because they weren't alive. and so this is certainly a tragedy that is now being remembered by an older generation of americans. but for those younger americans who are marking this day, they don't know what time when america wasn't at war. and even though we know that joe biden has declared the conflict in afghanistan over the troops have been withdrawn, he never said that the counter terrorism efforts of the united states around the world would stop. and so this is what

and it led george w. bushte homeland security, to start tsa making our airports and port facilities safer, and created in our country a new kind of security state the way harry truman maybe created a national state right after world war ii with cia joint chiefs of staff and national security council. george w. bush now had to think about the homeland if a new way. none of us felt safe whether you went to a mall or a baseball game from terrorism from abroad. but in recent years, we have to be worried about terrorism at home, and that was the point george w. bush drilled home today. >> we're continuing to watch president biden at this wreath-laying ceremony at the pentagon, the third of his three trips today visiting all three sites that were attacked on september 11th. arlette, let me go over to you at the white house. on 9/11 when officials and politicians were urged to evacuate washington, d.c., then-senator biden was at the capitol as vice president. he said he owed the 9/11 victims a personal debt of gratit

and george w bush, who was president in 2001, contrasted america today with america then.a naked appeal to anger, fear and resentment. that leaves us worried about our nation, and our future together. i come without explanations or solutions. i can only tell you what i've seen. 0n america's day of trial and grief, i saw millions of people instinctively grab for a neighbour's hand and rally to the cause of one another. that is the america i know. but today belongs to the people whose lives were rent by these unfathomable acts. i was sleeping when the first tower hit, and my mom woke me up because my dad worked there, so...he was a victim, and i saw the second plane hit and ijust hopped in my car. i was here the next morning. he sobs excuse me. you can't ever explain this horrible thing. . you know, and you i re—live it every year, but, i mean, ithink- for the families it's worse. for hour after hour, family members read the alphabetical list of names of those who perished. 0n anniversaries, america can feel a kinder, less harsh place to be, very little unites this divided c

so when george w. bushaid those remarks, it was bound to get the ire of donald trump and get angry tweets. but in the annals of history, this speech of bush will be viewed very favorably while trump's response to it is just another inane and, you know, self-aggrandizing bit of nothing. >> yeah. douglas, you know, meanwhile we have this -- talking about the big lie, the de facto leader of the republican party is continuing to push the big lie that inspired the january 6th attack. now he is pushing lies over the california recall election. it's a broken record, right? but i mean is it -- >> yeah. >> you know what? people don't even use records anymore, so maybe he should stop using that broken one and the lie. >> he never has understood -- donald trump -- what american democracy is. he doesn't understand our foundational text, the constitution or the bill of rights or the emancipation or gettysburg address, on and on. he's just operating as a con man, making money on september 11th, you know, doing the fight

a stark message in how anyone feels about president george w. bush, you may think a message that condemns extremists abroad and at home is something everybody can agree on. even though george w. bush mentioned no names, one person clearly heard something that sounded familiar in the phrase disdain for pluralism or maybe it was the foul spirit. because based on his response, the 45th president of the united states clearly felt, hey, that sounds like me. he responded today by saying bush isn't a winner and that he shouldn't be lecturing us about anything. or maybe trump just thinks someone has to stick up for domestic terrorists because they don't get enough love. to misquote shakespeare, the liar doth protest too much, me thinks. if you think that's unfair look at how he chose to spend september 11th. for trump it was about attacks, lies and self-aggrandizement. he made quick stops at a firehouse and police station in midtown manhattan and cut a video for a religious event at the mall in d.c. by the look and sound of them, you would think they were po

george w. bushamericans to confront domestic violent extremists, comparing them to extremists abroad and alluding to the january 6 insurrectionists. >> there is little cultural overlap between violent extremists abroad and violent extremists at home. but in their disdain for pluralism, in their disregard for human life, in their determination to defile national symbols, they are children of the same foul spirit and it is our continuing duty to confront them. >> mmm. boy. did that upset some folks. i know one it did. joining me, presidential historian douglas brinkley and mr. mark mckinnon, his show "the circus" will be back this weekend, hope you have some good material for it. >> never a lack of material, ever. >> good to see you. mark, former president bush drawing a line, comparing domestic terrorism to international terrorism, saying they're similar. he's made a point of staying out of politics since leaving office. what did you think? >> it was really important, coming out now, as you said, he'

continuing duty to confront them. >> kasie, children of the same foul spirit is a striking line from george w. bushen more striking is the fact that he knows september 11th, this speech in shanksville, this is the biggest platform george w. bush will have for the year, for several years. to choose to deliver that line on this day to me was really interesting. >> it was very striking, especially because the former president bush has been very careful about choosing the places, spots and ways that he steps back into public life. he was very careful to be respectful of president obama when obama was in office. and he was not terribly vocal during the trump administration necessarily. there were a few moments that he chose to say sort of cryptic things in a way. but he was -- tried to really rise above it all. but here in this case, it's clear he felt that he needed to send a moral message. and it underscores frankly what our intelligence and terrorism organizations are telling us here in this country, which is that this is, in fact, now the greatest terrorist threat that we face white supremacists dom

i remember president george w. bush with his bullbullhorn, vow the u.s.u. [ cheering ] i can hear you. the rest of the world hears you. and the people -- [ cheering ] -- and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon. [ cheering ] >> in the weeks following 9/11, i covered the heroic efforts at ground zero and saw the workers standing on the pile. i cannot erase the images in my mind of the photos of missing people taped to atm machines. i also remember the country coming together. firefighters and police officers across the country traveled firefighters and police officers traveled together to lend a hand. lawmakers stood on the steps of the capitol and sang "god bless america," brave soldiers went to afghanistan to hunt down the terrorists who attacked this country. our allies joined us. we were united. it was a remarkable time because for a while there weren't two realities or two americas. generally we knew what happened that day. we knew what needed to be done. there was talk of a post 9/11 world, our lives had changed. there

even with george w. bush and i am not endorsing george w. bush. out the stupidest president i had seen but trump did top him but with george w. bush when he gave that speech and wasn't long he did say there was this sort of sense in which he kind of knew that he should have spoken sooner but there was a sense that i don't know that he put together that he is part of how we got to trump but there's certainly a slight amount of culpability where i think a lot of trump advisers are total sociopaths. >> all right. something else to cover which you have covered and that is the abortion law in texas. you talked about it in the podcast. let's take a little bit of a listen to what you guys said. >> i have a friend who's a friend of jessie's too in new mexico telling me that they're prepared to tape a lot of the abortions that they plan to take 15-hour bus rides to albuquerque. >> yeah. the gross term is abortion tourism although this isn't tourism but desperation. there are legal aid funds working to provide travel funds so pregnant people that need aborti

we remember george w. bush, governor george w. ding. and then he became the 9/11 president and suddenly he was the leader of a country that was not only trying to push the taliban out but nation building, trying to build a democracy, trying for 20 years to the point where his successor, four presidents later, joe biden was so sure before america pulled out that they were a strong enough democracy to hold on, he said a month earlier that the military, that the afghan military that america spent 20 years training would be okay and it wasn't. >> he is heading to shanksville. i want to take a quick break. very quickly, we're not going to hear directly from him, he is not going to speak. they issued this video yesterday. any explanation why we won't hear his thoughts on this special day? >> my understanding, the president decided to release that video and to yield to president bush and his vice president to speak. he did speak ten years ago. we saw a picture, we were walking on the hillside, grass had grown back. he talked at great leng

when president george w. bush used his fighting words for an altogether peaceful cause against a very different enemy. >> there are too many of our kids in america who can't read today. maybe not in this school, but around the nation there is just too many. and now it's time to wage war on illiteracy for the young and to whip this problem early. >> the next morning president biden continued his education tour in florida, where his brother jeb was governor. it was september 11th, 2001. >> the president at a sarasota, florida elementary school, about to begin a reading event gets first words shortly after 9:00 a.m. and n a phone call from his national security adviser. one plane has crashed into the world trade center. minutes later, chief of staff andrew card leans over and whispers in the president's ear. the reaction on bush's face the first sign of more horrifying news.

and the contrast between the way that the former president former president george w. bush handled that day and the way that president trump handled it, we shouldn't be stunned, but i still happen. >> to talk about the bush comments, president biden, i think, graciously ceded the day. he did not speak. vice president harris did. but the only president that spoke at a public event, other than certain rantings and rumblings at pay per view and other places was george w. bush, and he very clearly was saying, you know, as juliette kayyem pointed out, don't confuse the only threat -- don't think the only threat to this nation is from abroad. we have our own problem here, and he was very clearly talking about the insurrection. >> he was very clearly talking about january 6th. and pyatt, informed, praised the speech that former president bush gave. i think the problem for the republican party is that when you listen to what president bush said, it really resonates with a lot of never-trump republicans. itresonates with middle of the road americans, even with some democrats who had

only one former president, george w. busher 11th site but instead of focusing on those he used the occasion to smear millions of his fellow americans many of whom probably pulled the liver for him twice. as you might imagine my commentary on this one will be unflinching but first you know the old saying when you are in a hole, stop digging, president biden and his party dancing to get it, they jumped into a ditch and spend their days shoveling it out. unfortunately for us the more they dig deep into trouble for america. let's start with the state in our economy. also conflicted. >> it is largely driven by inflation, fears of rising prices americans are facing. >> from now to the end of the year, the first quarter of next year. >> transitory is not the case now but they can't fix this without abandoning their core policy agenda so rising prices will be with us in the future. >> the federal reserve released new survey results showing that americans expectations of future inflation hit a record high, the tenth consecutive month

vice president kamala harris and former president george w. bush both gave remarks in tribute to the lives that were lost here in shanksville. and really interesting. former president bush, his remarks are really making headlines because he touched on the unity that he observed when he was leaving the country in the days following 9/11 and how that's such a contrast to the current climate and also talked about the threat of domestic extremism. listen to what he said. >> we've seen growing evidence that the dangers to our country can come not only across borders, but from violence that gathers within. there's little cultural overlap between violent extremists abroad and violent extremists at home. but then there's disdain for pluralism. in their disregard for human life. in their determination to defile national symbols. they are children of the same spirit and our continuing duty to confront them. >> reporter: vice president kamala harris also touched on this idea of unity and how it's really embodied in that collective effort aboard flight 93. fol
