0:00.0 | Yesterday marked the 21st anniversary of the September 11th terror attacks. |
0:05.2 | Growing up in New York, just north of the city, I remember the day vividly. |
0:09.8 | My mother was in the city that morning as usual for work, and she saw the first tower fall from |
0:15.1 | a train platform uptown. Everyone knew people who died, or at least new people whose friends or |
0:22.0 | family members had died. We all knew people who just barely made it out. People who should have |
0:27.5 | been there and weren't there people who made it out of downtown, even out of the World Trade |
0:32.0 | Center, walking miles and miles to get out of the city, many covered in dust and debris. |
0:38.2 | Some people would talk about it. Most people I know who were there never talk about it. |
0:44.5 | I don't judge either way how people react to this singular event in American history, especially |

1:47.6 | Trump voters, that is to say half the country, half the country according to this CNN contributor, |
1:54.0 | a pretty mainstream voice, all things considered. Trump supporters half the country are the same |
2:00.2 | as al Qaeda, which is to say that half the country is deserving of death. Now, if it were just |
2:06.9 | some CNN guy mouthing off, that would be one thing. But it wasn't. Hillary Clinton, the former |
2:12.1 | future president of the United States, former first lady, US Senator, Secretary of State, said |
