- 2The discussion moves from alleged foreknowledge to the harder question of whether officials permitted or planned the attacks to enable war.
- 3Weldon calls for classified 9/11 records to be released while defending firefighters from institutional blame after the disaster.
Don't miss
Weldon emotionally confronts the tension between his allegation that officials planned 9/11 and his memories of firefighters who died at Ground Zero.
The brief
Tucker Carlson frames the 25th anniversary of September 11 around a central question: did government secrecy conceal failures, or protect a broader agenda behind the wars that followed?
Curt Weldon describes the Army’s Able Danger program and alleges it identified an al-Qaeda cell in New York before the attacks, while claiming the 9/11 Commission and officials suppressed the evidence.
The conversation turns sharply when Weldon suggests some officials planned the attacks to create a motive for war, a claim he struggles to reconcile with his experience as a firefighter.
Weldon remembers the firefighters who died at Ground Zero and criticizes officials for blaming or firing fire chiefs after disasters, insisting the country should defend its firefighters.
Carlson presses Weldon on why 9/11 records remain classified; Weldon calls the secrecy a continuing cover-up and demands greater transparency.
