George – 9/11 changed me. I am a Catholic from the Middle East. It confirmed what I already knew about Middle Eastern Muslims (09:52)

Mike – 9/11 affected the abortion industry. Abortions stopped for the first few weeks. Planned Parenthood had to pay people to get abortions (33:42)
Ray - Why are you talking about 9/11 the whole show? (37:19)
Paul - I was working in Honolulu during 9/11. I had a colleague who was very happy about 9/11, and it disturbed me. (42:01)
