Transcript
Tucker Carlson releases 9/11 docuseries
The official story on 9/11 is a complete
lie.
The 9/11 report is a joke.
You have the CIA following two men all
over the planet and eventually even to
America, right? And you don't tell the
FBI. 911 commission cover up. So, what
did happen? What did the government
know? What did foreign governments know?
There was a cover up. Why? It's been
nearly 25 years. It is time Americans
learned what actually happened. We're
going to tell you. We're releasing one
episode per week. You're not going to
want to wait. If you're a member, you
don't have to. You get all five episodes
the day it drops. Right then, ad free.
Our first episode airs Thursday, 911,
September 11th. You will not want to
miss it. Join us now at
tuckercarlson.com.
All right. Well, that trailer and this
uh docu series that's coming up on the
Tucker Carlson network is getting a lot
of attention. So much so that uh Pierce
Morgan interviewed him today just to ask
some questions and to challenge what
many believe are simply crazy conspiracy
theories uh among conspiracy theorists
in regard to what took place on 9/11. I
don't know what I personally believe.
Obviously, this hasn't been published
yet, but I thought that this
conversation, this exchange between
Pierce Morgan and Tucker Carlson was
fascinating. And uh we're going to just
give you a few highlights. Please watch
the entire conversation for yourselves.
Um, but before I get into it, Jen, any
initial thoughts?
Well, uh, before I never entertained the
idea that 9/11 was anything what but
what the government said. Um, and so I
was like, what did they make the planes
disappear? Uh, they willing to kill
everybody on the planes. It all sounds
absurd. Uh so I now think uh that I have
seen the government do so many terrible
things uh repeatedly and cover up for it
repeatedly that I am no longer sure. Uh
and when you see things like World Trade
Center, World Trade Center 7, a building
across the street
apparently was so hot that the steel
inside the building melted from across
the street. But the government found
Muhammad Ata's paper passport
conveniently on top of the rubble.
Yeah.
Things that don't make any sense.
Yeah.
So, I'm not saying I know the answer,
but I'm beginning to come to some
conclusions about what is not the
answer.
Yeah. And that's where I'm at as well,
right? I'm not running around saying
9/11 was an inside job. I'm not I don't
know. But I do know that there are some
serious issues with what the, you know,
accepted narrative is. And in fact,
they're about to get into an exchange in
regard to building 7. So, let's go to
the first clip.
Huge parts of the 9/11 story were left
out of the commission report. For
example, what happened to building 7,
Building 7
which was not only not next to the Twin
Towers, which are hit by airplanes, but
had a building in between itself and
those buildings collapsed that afternoon
for reasons that no one has been able to
explain since. You're not a lunatic for
asking. There is no real there's no
plausible explanation for how that
building collapsed.
So that's that's the issue at play here
that I wanted to give you that portion
of what Tucker Carlson had to say. And
Pierce Morgan attempts to explain it to
some extent by providing what he feels
is a similar
example of another building like just
melting away similarly to building
seven. Yeah.
Before we go to that clip, Anna, I just
want to say uh this story broke today. I
didn't know that that was going to be
the first topic.
Uh, and for all the times that I had
this conversation with Ben and a million
other people, I would always say, "Look
guys, I get everything." And I'm not a
physicist. I don't know what where the
how the plane could hit or couldn't hit
or could crash or couldn't crash. I got
no expertise on that. Just that building
that is not anywhere near the other
buildings just melting down. I've never
thought that made any sense. And what we
should expect from our government is
logical answers, right? Not like, "Ah,
whatever. Shut up. You're a conspiracy
theorist and and you're you should never
get any real answers." So, I am The
reason I interrupted you is because I'm
super curious what Pierce Morgan is
going to say because I've literally
never heard a proper explanation for it,
even when I believe 911%.
Well, let's go to the official story.
Let's see what he had to say. If you
look into the investigation into tower
7, the findings of the investigation
into it were that the north tower when
it came down had set off a load of fires
in building 7 that and it was a steel
structure and shouldn't have gone down
but it did that. These fires burned all
afternoon and I think it was about 5:00
in the afternoon or something that that
the tower eventually gave way to the
welter of fires raging inside it and it
was the only time that had happened to a
structure that was built in that way.
However, there has been another tower
very similar to that in structure which
has since gone down in Thran. So, it's
no longer the only one. In other words,
there is a another example of a tower
like that collapsing.
Okay. So you can see Tucker Carlson
smiling in response to what Pierce
Morgan is saying. Probably because Okay.
Well, if you want to make that argument
that the the fire was so hot that it led
to the collapse of building 7, well,
what happened to the building in
between, right? And that nothing
happened to that building. And so I want
to give Tucker an opportunity to respond
to that and then we can discuss
what is the alternative explanation. I
mean, if you're examining another theory
other than the one that the
investigation concluded was simply that
the north tower came down, fires were
set off in tower 7, and then it
eventually collapsed. What is the other
theory which we should give more
credence to?
I I I don't know. I don't know that the
onus is on me or anyone who seeks the
truth about what happened to come up
with an alternative theory. The onus is
on federal authorities to explain why,
for example, they never investigated it.
Why, for example, the rubble and the
steel from that building was carted off
within hours and sent out of the country
to Asia. Why, for example, an analysis
done not by cooks, but by chemists found
traces of explosive material in the dust
from that day. Why structural engineers
who have kind of no skin in this game
came to the conclusion that that just
couldn't happen based on all available
evidence and that none of that is
addressed at all or even mentioned in
the 9/11 report.
And there are all kinds
of anomalies as I know that you're fully
aware and there possible explanations to
explain all of them. For example, the
BBC report on air saying the building
had fallen when it hadn't fallen yet.
He's right about that BBC report. And uh
Pierce later says that the BBC report
was based on an erroneous report by
Reuters. Um
Okay.
Okay. That doesn't explain anything. How
did Reuters know the building was going
to collapse before it got hit?
Exactly. Yeah.
So, look, I don't know those. We don't
know. And like I I'm very interested to
watch this docue series and the claims
that it makes. I was super young when
9/11 happened. I was in high school and
the thought of, you know, this being a
big conspiracy was ridiculous to me. It
didn't even cross my mind. I was a
child. Okay. But revisiting this now, I
I do have a lot of questions.
Yeah. No, it's it's over. Look, this is
we're at a seminal moment in American
politics and media. Uh before there were
a whole bucket of things you could not
question. The minute you question them,
what would happen? Why what does that
mean? You can't question them. You can
say anything you want in a backyard
barbecue, right? But if you work in
politics or media in any way, shape, or
form, if you question them, you would
immediately be fired. You would be
labeled a cook, a conspiracy theorist,
uh and probably some sort of character
assassination on top attached to it.
anti-semite to racist a this a that
whatever it is but you're dispatched
you're not allowed on air right now
because of digital media they can't
contain it and now everybody's asking
questions and they're like fire Tim
Dylan damn it we can't fire Tim Dylan
okay then fire Joe Ro god damn it we
can't fire Joe Rogan so now people are
starting to ask and ask and ask and so
what I'm telling you now about this
seminal moment is we've crossed the
Rubicon you can ask any goddamn thing
you Right.
Okay. And if they try to fire you for
it, they're the bad guys, not you.
And asking the question doesn't mean
that you already think that it's a
conspiracy. You're just trying to prove
that it's a conspiracy. The questions
about building 7 are legitimate
questions. Absolutely.
Yeah. Yeah.
Now, I look, I'm I'm willing to get
convinced on anything, but building
seven is a mystery that is nearly
impossible. Like the idea that the
towers would collapse be themselves
north and south after they got hit that
the steel could burn so much that they
could collapse is a very controversial
idea within engineering circles. Right.
But the fact and but a building across
the street with other buildings in
between no it still didn't burn down. No
way. That is not the correct answer. So
the same thing with JFK. So, if you for
when I was growing up, if you ever said
anything about JFK, you were told to
shut up and you'd get fired, etc. Now, I
don't know who killed JFK cuz I don't
have the secret files in front of me. I
don't know what happened on 911, but
it's not my job to know. It's my job to
ask questions, right? And it's the job
of the government to tell us the correct
answers. So, what I'm telling you now is
on JFK, I'm absolutely positive the
government's story is not the correct
answer. Lee Harvey Oswald didn't shoot
him from three states away and hit
everything else in between and is the
greatest shot of all time even though he
had nothing to do with JFK. There's tons
and tons of people who despised JFK and
wanted him killed and said on the record
they wanted him killed. So I don't know
which one of them did it. I do know that
it wasn't Lee Harvey Oswald ask act act
acting by himself. And if you want to do
the old games and say well the
government said it so you're a
conspiracy theorist. You can do that all
day long, guys, but it doesn't matter
because you lost because now you look
ridiculous. So now when you turn back to
911, no, I don't know the answer, guys.
I don't know who did it, why they did
it, or maybe it did happen just like
October 7th where it's not that Israel
did it, but there was a weird standown
order. Why was there a standown order?
And that's not me saying that's IDF
soldiers saying there was a standown
order right at that exact time when we
never have a standown order. So that's
not me saying I Israel did it. That's me
saying that's weird.
That is weird. We need an answer to
that.
Yeah. And you need a plausible answer to
that. Not trust me, bro. Which is what
the government's been doing the entire
time. And so, and then one more quick
thing on Piers's answer. So now we're
told that conveniently
there was a building that melted down in
a similar way in Tehran. Wait, does Iran
acknowledge that? Or is that some
intelligence we got from a trusted ally?
And just trust us, bro. That building
went down just like World Trade Center 7
did.
Yeah, maybe and maybe not. Should we
play a few more clips? Okay. So, uh the
topic then switched to whether anyone
may have known that this terror attack
was going to happen, uh but withheld
that information or that intel from the
American people and the American
government. Anyway, let's get to that
clip.
Is it cockup or do you think there is
Did anyone know 9/11 was going to happen?
merit to suggestion that some people
somewhere must have known more than
we've been told?
Well, we know that people did know more
than we've been told. I mean, somebody
shorted the airlines and a bunch of the
banks that were affected. Now, this is
not a conspiracy theory. It's not a
guess. This is publicly available
information. Now, the FBI found out the
identity of the person or institution
that shorted these events on 9/11 and
made a huge amount of money by doing
that, but never released that
information. So, why can't we know who
clearly had fornowledge? I mean, if
you're shorting American Airlines a week
before 9/11 when no one knows it's
coming, I think you should have to
explain why you did that. And if you're
shorting Barkclays and and banks that
were affected by 9/11, why can't we know
who you are? These are public markets,
by the way. This is not private equity.
This is publicly traded equities.
That's fascinating. I mean, there could
be an explanation for why that
individual decided to short American
Airlines. It could have been a a crazy
coincidence.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, look again the
question the problem isn't the answers.
The problem is that we weren't allowed
to ask before. Right. Right. So, for
example, is it possible that somebody
had a different hunch based on a
completely different thing and they
shorted American and they got quote
unquote lucky. Right. In that sense, now
you could say that with rolling your
eyes. Oh yeah, what a coincidence. But
it might be. It might be, right? It
depends on the scale of it. It depends
on who it is. Is it Rand Obama from
Nebraska? Well, how the hell would he
know? Right? But if it's somebody from
the intelligence community,
wait, that's a different thing, right?
If it's a senator, that's a different
thing, right? So, can how why aren't the
American people allowed to know? I mean,
you don't even have to give me the
brother's name, whether it was the guy
who shorted Barkclays or the company
that did or or American or whatever.
Just like, can we find out what category
they were in? Were they a farmer? Were
they a banker? What what were they?
Right? But for everything, they always
tell you the same thing. Shut up.
Otherwise, we'll ruin you. You'll
assassinate your character and say
you're a conspiracy theorist and you'll
never work again. That reaction makes me
think, wait, maybe this is worse than I
thought. Because why have what a weirdo
reaction for the most normal questions
about one of the most important events
in American history.
It is one of the most important and most
tragic events in American history. It
was the largest terror attack on US
soil. Okay. Thousands of people died and
it served as the catalyst for changing
this country forever and not for the
best I would argue. Okay. Uh violations
of Americans privacies, mass
surveillance, you know, the Patriot Act
obviously. Um foreign wars, it just goes
global war on terrorism that cost us $8
trillion happened to take out other
people's enemies, not our enemies.
Anyways, but one other thing, the Bin
Lads.
So why did we fly out the Bin Lads? No
one's ever answered that. That's a great
question.
So, that was a question from the left.
That was Michael Moore asking that
question. What What a weird weird
reaction. You're telling me Osama bin
Laden did it and your first reaction was
to gather up all the bin Laden's that
apparently lived inside America and fly
them out first class to Saudi Arabia.
Why?
And I'm not allowed to ask why. No,
that's crazy talk, guys. This isn't
about right or left. This is about our
government doesn't represent us and they
keep telling us funny stories that don't
make any sense. The minute you ask one
question, they try to take your head
off.
Yeah.
So, you got one more
one more clip. Let's take a look.
So, clearly, yes, there was fornowledge.
By the way, there was a team, this is
according to the FBI, by the way. This
is the FBI saying there was a team of
clearly intel connected foreigners who
were arrested after 911, as you well
know, um, videotaping
the terror attacks. This is I'm almost
verbatim quoting from the FBI assessment
of this. And the FBI determined that
they apparently had fornowledge of the
attacks. So why can't we know more about
that? Exactly. Shut up. That's bigoted.
No, this is my country.
So I don't know if he's referring to the
five Israelis um who a witness had seen
taking photos, not recording, but taking
photos of the World Trade Center as it
was being attacked. One of them was
holding a lighter uh up to the World
Trade Center prior to the attack. And I
don't know if that's what he's referring
to. Uh but those five individuals were
kept in US custody for over two months.
Uh the FBI absolutely did believe that
at least two of them had connections uh
to Mossad, right? Uh the Israeli
intelligence organization. And I I read
the FBI files on this and it it the the
investigation just like abruptly kind of
ended after a little over two months.
John Ashccraftoft specifically uh the
attorney general at the time uh called
for them to be released and and sent
back to Israel. And then a few years
after that he served as a consultant who
consulted on behalf of Israel.
I mean it's absurd. So guys, look on
that one. Again, that's the one that
people get most touchy about because
they assume all sorts of things in your
head that aren't in your head. They're
like, "Oh, that must mean that you hate
Israel and you hate Jews and you hate
this." No, no, hold on, guys. We're not
talking about any of that. We're saying,
"Why did they go to document that
event?" And that's not my words. That's
their words. One of them was on Israeli
TV afterwards when he was shipped back
to Israel and they said, "Why did you
go?" And he slipped up. I assume he
slipped up. He said, "We went to
document the event." Which makes you
ask, "How did you know there was going
to be an event?"
So now you're not supposed to ask that
question, otherwise you're going to get
called all sorts of names.
And by the way, there could even be
there could even be a legitimate
explanation for that, right? Maybe they
happened to be in New York City at the
time doing other spy operations. the the
claim was that, you know, or the FBI
also believed that there were uh Israeli
nationals or or members or agents of
Mossad here in the United States spying
on Arabs. Okay, that's that's the
on Arabs. On Arabs,
okay, that's what they say.
Maybe they just happen to be in New York
City.
Is that okay? By the way,
they I I don't think that's okay,
especially if our government and our
intelligence organizations don't know
about it. But okay, putting that aside
for a second, uh maybe they saw that
there was an attack and they went to
this specific area to take more images
and whatever of the World Trade Center.
I don't know. I don't know what the
explanation is. But the point is, these
questions are okay to ask, especially
when the moving company that these five
Israelis were working for ended up being
a total front. And the owner of that
moving company uh immediately like
scrambled to get back to Israel once uh
the five individuals had been arrested.
And by the way, in the moving truck,
they found uh foreign passports, $4,700
in cash, all sorts of like weird shady
things that make you wonder, make you
ask these appropriate questions. And
remember, the five got arrested after a
witness saw them taking the photos of
the World Trade Center and also like in
her words like celebrating. They looked
happy.
Yeah. All right. So guys, last thing on
this again, it doesn't mean that Israel
did it, for example. It could be that
they knew about it like on October 7th
but chose not to say anything. It could
be that they said something but we
didn't listen to them.
Okay, that could also be the case.
Remember there was the famous uh CIA
warning to Bush when he was on his
Crawford ranch and they said bin Laden
determined to attack inside the United
States and Bush said you covered your
ass now go home and ignored it. Right?
[Condoleezza Rice, National Security Advisor] I believe the title was "Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States."
-- FAHRENHEIT 9/11. ILLUSTRATED SCREENPLAY, written, directed and produced by Michael Moore
So there could be legitimate things, but
what if you have a legitimate answer,
telling everybody to shut up and calling
them bigots is a weird response, right?
And then final thought here. Now, no one
disputes that they were Israeli spies
and that they were released back to
Israel, right?
People do dispute it even till this day,
but
Oh, I mean, of course, Israeli
government's going to lie about
everything. So I don't mean like
illegitimate, ridiculous things like
there is no genocide in Gaza, no one got
hurt in Gaza. I mean, you could say
absurd things, right? But like we know
there was Israeli spies. ABC News
reported it. Fox News reported it at the
time, etc. The FBI in its own reports as
the Israeli spies, right? And then they
send them back to Israel just like we
did with the Bin Laden.
Why are we Why would you catch spies of
any nation, let alone after the worst
attack against your country ever, and
then let them go?
Why would you let them go? that like
assume that Israel had absolutely
nothing to do with it and no
foreknowledge, no nothing because we don't
know that. But you did catch these
Israeli spies. They did say they there
to document the event. Maybe they
didn't. They said that later. So, but it
is weird. They were taking pictures of
it. You thought to question them for 2
months. That's how freaked out you were
by it. And then all of a sudden, you
don't just go, "Oh, okay. I get it. It
was a miscommunication or whatever. You
guys didn't do anything wrong." You then
say, "Even though I know you are a spy
for a foreign country and you were
spying on us here in America, you're
free to go." Why are they free to go?
Forget 911. We caught spies here. Why
are they free to go? Why were the bin
Laden's free to go? Why were the Israeli
spies free to go? That is not an
illegitimate question. It doesn't get
any more legitimate than that question.
And if you can't answer that, the
problem isn't in the person asking the
question. The problem isn't the person
that won't give the answer to the
American
