9/11: Modern America's Most Important Day
About this episode
Mark Halperin reflects on the events of September 11, 2001, and their lasting impact on America, featuring insights from former Governor George Pataki and Victor Davis Hanson.
Mark Halperin’s reported monologue reflects on September 11, 2001 — the attacks that took nearly 3,000 American lives, the extraordinary courage of first responders, unprecedented demonstrations of leadership, and the remarkable sense of unity that followed. Former Governor George Pataki shares his firsthand memories of leading New York alongside Mayor Rudy Giuliani and President George W. Bush through the aftermath of the attacks, recounting the moments after the towers were hit, and how New York was reborn. The conversation also revisits President Bush's unforgettable words at Ground Zero: “I can hear you. The rest of the world hears you. And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon." Victor Davis Hanson reflects on how 9/11 forever changed America, from its culture to its relationship with the Middle East. A conversation about loss, courage, resilience, unity, and the enduring importance of remembering. 25 years later. Never forget.
