Remembering the 9/11 Attacks and National Reflection 0:01 From the heart of our nation's capital in Washington, DC, bringing compelling interviews, insightful analysis, taking you beyond the headlines and sound bites into conversations with our nation's leaders and newsmakers,0:13 all from a biblical world view. Sitting in for Tony is today's host, Casey Harper.0:19 Today, we renew the sacred oath that we 1st swore in their names 0.25 of a century ago, we will never0:31 ever forget. That's why we fight today. We don't have a choice. There can only0:43 be victory. We fight hard. We fight to win. We will always remember the victims and the families of September 11th 20 o 1, very0:54 famous date, unfortunately.1:00 That was president Donald Trump earlier today at the September 11th ceremony at the Pentagon. Welcome to this Friday, September 11th edition of Washington Watch. I'm your guest host, Casey Harper. Coming up1:11 on today's program, today marks 25 years since 9 11. A new bipartisan house intelligence committee report examines the progress and remaining gaps in America's national1:23 security. How prepared are we for future threats really? Chairman Rick Crawford joins us to break it down. Plus, brigadier general e John Dragon Teichert joins us to discuss how 25
1:35 years of war after 9 11 have transformed the US military. And later, pastor Carter Conlin, general overseer of Times Square Church in New York City, joins us to reflect on how prayer prepared his
1:47 church to serve 1st responders in a community searching for hope after 9 11. All that and more is coming on your way on today's edition of Washington Watch.
2:01 Now as I said, today marks the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, a day of sorrow and somber reflection where we honor the nearly 3000 people killed when hijacked planes
2:13 slammed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a Pennsylvania field in a shocking attack that reverberates to this day. Washington Watch reporter Mary Stackhouse, who has been following today's
2:25 ceremonies, joins us for more. Mary, walk us through today's ceremonies.
2:30 Casey, in New York, family members of the victims, many carrying pictures of their loved ones joined vice president JD Vance and 4 former US presidents at ground 0 in lower Manhattan. The ceremony began at 8
2:42 46 AM eastern with a moment of silence to mark the instant when American Airlines flight 11 struck the World Trade Center's North Tower in what would become the deadliest attack ever on US soil. Now
2:53 shortly after, victims' family members began reading aloud the names of all 2977 people who died on September 11th, as well as the 6 people killed in the 19 93 World Trade
3:05 Center bombing. It was, of course, a somber reading, lasted about 4 hours. In the remainder of the time that has passed since, some of the readers were children who had never met the relatives, that they lost in
3:17 2001, just as a reminder of how much time has passed. For the 1st time, 0.143 moment of silence honored the thousands who have died since 2001 from illnesses tied to the toxic
3:28 dust that poisoned the air for months afterwards. At the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, where American Airlines flight 77 struck the building's west flank, killing 184, president Trump chronicled some of the
3:40 stories of those aboard who died in the crash. Here's what he had to say.
3:44 Today, as we remember the many lives lost on 9 11, we also give thanks for the countless lives saved by the immortal heroes of
3:56 flight 93. In those harrowing days after the attacks, we saw the authentic spirit of our nation.
4:09 We were all New Yorkers that day, every 1 of us. We were all New Yorkers. But we were also all Americans. We were all family.
4:22 We were all patriots. The enemy might destroy what American hands had built, but we could not touch the fight and the fire and the love
4:34 in our great American hearts.
4:38 Mourners also gathered in Shanksville, Pennsylvania at the crash site where passengers brought down 1 of the 4 jetliners that were hijacked. That was flight United Airlines flight 93 that had been headed for Washington.
4:50 The attack shaped generations of Americans who lived through the day or grew up in its aftermath influencing US foreign policy, domestic politics, and public attitudes towards security. Casey?
5:01 Yeah. Thank you, Mary. Really on a related topic, we have a new Gallup poll that shows a decrease of Americans' confidence in the government's ability to protect them from an attack in the future. What can you tell us
5:12 about that report?
5:14 That's right, Casey. Americans remained concerned about terrorism, but confidence but had confidence in the US government's ability, to protect them, that's fallen. A Gallup poll found that 55 percent of
5:26 adults are confident that the government can prevent, future terrorist attacks tying the lowest level on record. That compares with 88 percent just after 9 11 and 75 percent 15 years ago.
5:38 Meanwhile, 37 percent say that they worry about becoming a victim, and 64 percent believe that 9 11 permanently changed how Americans live. Casey?
5:47 Yeah. It certainly did. It changed a lot. Now let's turn to some news from Dallas where Republicans last night wrapped up their 2 day midterm election convention. Mary, what were some of the the highlights? What do we
5:58 need to know from the 2nd day?
6:00 Casey, on the 2nd and final day of the Republican midterm convention in Dallas, president Trump continued to put himself at the center of the party's campaign for the November elections. President Trump urged Republicans
6:11 to treat the midterms as a referendum on his presidency, telling supporters to pretend that he's on the ballot. House speaker Mike Johnson also used the convention to rally Republicans, warning that Democrats are
6:22 embracing socialist candidates. Speaker Johnson and Republicans face threats from within, and he argued that Democratic victories could bring communists into Congress. Here's this, clip of speaker Johnson's
6:34 speech last night.
6:35 They're the ones who have let the barbarians inside the gate, and next year, the communist will be in congress. That's what's so frightening. Incredibly, on America's 250th
6:47 anniversary, it now falls to us to fight to preserve the country that we all love. It's now being attacked from within. That's the reason.
6:59 Now you you've heard many times here in Dallas that this election presents a glaring contrast for America, and it truly is a contrast between common sense and crazy.
7:09 The 2 day convention was designed to energize Republican voters and keep president Trump at the center of the party's midterm strategy. Casey.
7:17 Alright. Thanks for the updates, Mary. I wanna continue this conversation about the 25th anniversary of these deadly terror attacks on 9 11. In fact, newly declassified presidential briefing documents provide
7:29 some insight into early intelligence tracking and the national security situation leading up to the attacks. Joining us now to discuss this and more is Brigadier General e John Dragon
7:40 Tigert. He's US Air Force retired author of In God, I Making Our National Motto My Personal Declaration. General, welcome back to Washington Watch.
7:51 Casey, thanks so much for having me.
7:52 It's great it's great to have you. It's been 25 years. It's a somber day since the attacks on September 11th. I'd like to hear your your personal reflection on this day of remembrance.
8:03 Casey, I always go back to an appreciation for our 1st responders. A few years ago, I participated in 1 of those 9 11 memorial stair climbs in full firefighter gear and
8:15 110 stories, And we finished, and it was exhausting. But my entire time up that staircase, I was thinking about how our experience was different from those 1st responders on
8:27 September 11 2001. There wasn't debris falling from the ceiling. There wasn't smoke in the stairwell. But the most important difference was that we were walking towards a finish line, and they were running into imminent
8:39 danger. 415 1st responders lost their lives. And while 3000 people died on that day, it's estimated that they saved 25000 people. And in places
8:51 all around our country and in every community, we still have 1st responders that will while we're running away from danger, they're running towards it, and we've gotta so appreciate all that they do on our behalf
9:02 every single day.
9:04 Yeah. It's a great point, and it's 1 that can't be made enough, especially on a day like today. I wanna pivot a little bit to the national security situation. CIA director John Ratcliffe, he described the release of
9:14 dozens of presidential briefing documents as a major act of transparency. It's the largest release of declassified presidential daily briefs we've really ever had. How do these declassified records expand our public
9:26 understanding of pre 9 11 intelligence tracking?
9:30 Casey, we had gotten into a complacency after the cold war where we had forgotten that there is evil in the world, that there are entities that seek to do us harm.
9:42 And so we were a little blinded to all of the signals that were out there about some of these attacks and maybe the impending nature of those attacks. And I think 1 of the things that 9 11 snapped us out
9:54 of was that complacency, And it's a great reminder to us today that there is evil in the world. There are people that seek to do us harm. And unless we have this layered defense at home with 1st responders
10:07 and taking the fight to the adversary, then we have no real chance at keeping them at bay. Unfortunately, for the last 25 years, we have not seen a repeat in part because we're not a lot more vigilant now
10:19 than we were on September 11th 2001.
10:21 Well, sort of my next question is, do you think we are as vigilant as we were post 9 11, or do you think we're starting to lose sight of what the real threats are in the world?
10:32 Casey, I think we're pretty comfortable as Americans, and for the most part, that's a pretty big blessing. But we've got to remember that the rest of the world is not like the United States, and there are many that seek
10:43 to tear us down. And part of this is a practical battle, but part of it is a spiritual battle. And I always emphasize to believers, especially, that it is our responsibility
10:55 to be vigilant in prayer in order to make sure that we are as peaceful and as protected and as prosperous as we can be because, ultimately, all of that comes from the Lord more importantly than any
11:07 of the practical steps that we can take.
11:09 Yeah. I mean, it's so important. And I remember in the aftermath of 9 11, the churches were full. People were thinking about the Lord in prayer in a way that they had it maybe their entire lives. I think we've definitely
11:19 lost some of that focus that we had in that aftermath. It was it was so strong. How does that relate to to your book, in god I trust, that spiritual dynamic as we look at our country?
11:31 Casey, my life's verse is Psalm 20 verse 7. Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we will remember the name of the lord our god. And my f 22, that's a
11:42 magnificent modern day horse and chariot, but we learn from the Egyptians that horses and chariots end up in the bottom of the Red Sea. And the only way a people can find their way from bondage to the
11:54 promised land of liberty is by following God and his pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. And that new book is really just trying to snap us back to that focus. And I find it interesting
12:06 that our 1st proposed national seal from July 4th 17 76, authored by Franklin and Jefferson, was a depiction of the Israelites fleeing towards the promised land and
12:18 following God. They saw us as an analog to that, and they understood that powerful truth that unless we trust in God and not horses and chariots, that we can never find ourselves and
12:30 then keep ourselves in the promised land of liberty.
12:34 Yeah. It's amazing when you study the history how much these supposed deist founders actually relied quite a bit on biblical imagery and and Christianity and, the scripture as they wrote the constitution. But that's sort
12:45 of a separate con conversation because I do wanna ask you about those chariots you mentioned as important, and I agree with you on the spiritual side. The chariots or the US military has been transformed by the September
12:57 11th attacks. How have things changed, and how prepared are we to meet future threats? Just a little over 30 seconds.
13:06 Casey, I do think that we have shown the power of the US military in the last 25 years from preventing these type of attacks from happening again. But I go back to the idea that we need to be vigilant
13:18 constantly about those threats, whether they are nation states or nonnation states that seek to do us harm, but we also need the practical ability to make policy in our country to
13:30 solve our real problems while Americans stay on their knees in prayer and beg God for the protection that we so desperately need.
13:37 Well said. Thank you, general Tigard, for your voice and your book on a day like today. I appreciate it.
13:42 Thank you, Casey.
13:43 Well, coming up, a soldier and survivor of the Pentagon attacks joins us to share how he found purpose following those attacks and really impact that he's made helping victims and survivors and honoring the life and
13:55 legacy of his lost colleagues. You won't wanna miss it. Stick around.
14:01 Everyone wants wisdom, but few know where to find it. In wisdom of Solomon, Tony Perkins takes us on a 24 day journey through Proverbs and Ecclesiastes to discover God's unchanging
14:13 wisdom for our changing times. Each day's study explores key
14:17 passages, offers practical reflection questions, and
14:17 focuses on life application. Get
14:31 America, what formed the fabric of our freedom? What stitched together the hearts of those that fasten the stars and stripes? 250 years ago, our founding fathers pinned the invisible
14:42 words woven within every heart that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

16:59 Welcome back to Washington Watch. I'm Casey Harper, your guest host for today. As we continue our coverage remembering those who lost their lives in the attacks of September 11th and the 1st
17:11 responders, we look at how a single unexpected moment on that fateful morning reshaped 1 soldier's calling forever. An unexpected delay kept him away from his desk at the Pentagon when the
17:23 plane struck, probably sparing his life. Overcoming survivor's guilt, he turned that tragedy into a mission to help survivors of the victims and to preserve the legacy of his fallen colleagues. Well, joining
17:35 us now to share his story is retired army colonel Franklin Childress, a Pentagon survivor. He currently serves as deputy director of army reserve strategic communications at the Pentagon. Colonel, welcome
17:47 to Washington, Washington.
17:48 Thanks for having me. It's good to
17:50 have you. What what a story you have. You were supposed to be at the Pentagon that day, but something maybe someone kept you from your desk. Tell us about that.
17:58 Well, it's by the grace of god that I was not there. I was supposed to get my household goods delivered on the 4th of September. I called the day before and says, my household goods gonna be delivered tomorrow. And they
18:09 said, sir, we've lost the paperwork. There's we just found the paperwork in the bottom of a transportation clerk's inbox. And I said, okay. When can I get the household goods delivered? And they said,
18:21 well, there's only 2 days available, the 10th and 11th. I had to meet my boss, lieutenant general Maud, on the 10th. And so I said, let's do it on the 11th. And I was sitting out of my apartment when the, plane hit.
18:33 Wow. And so what was that moment like when you found out not just what happened to the Pentagon, but, you know, Trade Center of Pennsylvania and how serious this was?
18:42 Actually, what happened was I heard what I thought was a sonic boom. I was sitting out on my balcony waiting for the truck to arrive and kind of impatient. And I heard a sonic boom, which I thought was coming from Reagan
18:53 National Airport, and I saw people running to the roofs to look towards the Pentagon. And I heard sirens, and, my pastor from Hawaii, James Schromer, called me and said, frankly, have you heard what's happened? And I
19:05 said, no. And he said, the Pentagon was just hit. And he said, I'm glad you're alive. And I said, wow. And he said, also, the World Trade Centers were hit. So I turned on the TV, and it felt
19:16 like the world was ending.
19:19 And you did lose some colleagues that day. Is that right?
19:22 Actually, 26 people around my desk were all killed that day. Wow. And, it was very shocking. And as a matter of fact, I didn't know the Pentagon had been hit in my office until much
19:34 later. I tried to put on my uniform and go down there and do whatever I could to help rescue and recover, and I was told it was a crime scene and I was not allowed to go there.
19:44 I mean, at at what point did you put 1 and 1 together and say, maybe the lord intervened, in in a grace that I none of us deserve really.
19:54 Well, actually, I believe that the good lord, by the grace of god, spared me.
19:58 Right.
19:58 And, by all accounts, by all logic, I should be dead and living living Arlington National Cemetery in a grave right now. But, it's been 1 of those things where I believe that prayer, my mother and my
20:10 grandmother were all praying for me, my wife and family, and so I attribute, my salvation, my sparing to prayer.
20:18 How many of us are so much the better for praying women
20:21 in our lives? I mean Absolutely.
20:23 Keep praying, ladies. It's Yes. It's very important to clear.
20:25 As a
20:25 matter of fact about prayer, I went to a ceremony at Denton, Maryland this morning. And, as we were going, the skies were really dark. And I looked at the radar, and it was rain till 11 o'clock.
20:37 And I called this brother that was with me and said, hey. We need to pray about this. And he started praying in the car. And at 8 30, it was still raining. And about 2 minutes later, it stopped raining. So it
20:49 was definitely prayer works. Prayer is powerful.
20:52 It's so powerful. My life's been transformed by prayer and probably saved. I've been in some dicey situations. It's not as dramatic as yours. How did it change your life personally, the way you lived your life when you
21:03 saw what the lord did for you? Was that sort of there had to be a before and after moment in your life?
21:09 Absolutely. And 1 of the things that I basically changed the way I live my life, I basically cherish the moments, cherish the people, cherish the opportunities I have to be able to go out and tell people about the
21:20 Lord. I've been able to go, as a matter of fact, on the 20th anniversary, I was on the BBC heart and soul talking about my testimony. There was a guy who lost his faith and because his
21:32 brother died at the World Trade Center, a Muslim who was since she endured persecution, and then they allowed me to do my testimony for 9 minutes on the BBC, which was amazing.
21:41 That is a true miracle, Sharon. Sharing the gospel on the BBC. Yes. Wow. The darkest of places.
21:46 Of the places. Yes.
21:47 So this really turns you into an evangelist then?
21:49 Yes. I think so.
21:50 Tell me about that. I mean, what does that what does that mean? You're you're going out and you're boldly sharing the gospel with people. Do you include your testimony? Is it what God did for you in in in 9 11 and all
22:00 that?
22:00 Absolutely. This morning, I was very bold and courageous when I shared my testimony. I said, you know, those people that went into work that day on 9 11 didn't know that that was gonna be their last day,
22:12 and they never came out. And I said to those people, I said, you never know when your last day. Lord doesn't promise us another moment, and we have to make sure we live our lives as if it's gonna be the last moment and
22:24 tell people because there is a lot of people who are complacent about living their lives and don't know that if they die tonight, where they're gonna go, hell or heaven. And I think, it's very important to basically
22:35 present that opportunity to people and make sure that they know where they're gonna end up and that Jesus is the answer, and he is the salvation of the world.
22:44 So to those listening or watching who haven't made that decision, they've probably heard about it. Maybe they're complacent, like you said.
22:51 That's right.
22:52 Your story proves that anyone can die at any time.
22:54 That's right.
22:55 And that's in the Lord's hands. What's your your message to them?
22:57 My message is that, today, right now is the very moment to do it. And as we say in the south, do it while God asks you nicely. So they need to accept Jesus as their lord and savior
23:10 and repent of their sins and con commit him as as your lord and savior of your life. And I think that's what my message is, and that's what I want people to hear from you.
23:19 You've seen a lot of fruit from that?
23:20 Yes. I have. Wow. As a matter of fact, I'll tell you a story. I was in, Guinea in West Africa in 9 11 of, 2010, and I met a young marine. And this marine
23:32 said he was struggling spiritually. He didn't have any other Christians, and we were able to talk. I sent him a Bible, and I sent him a, handbook of Christian life. And 28 years later, he
23:44 called me and said that was a pivotal moment in his life, and he's now a chaplain in the United States Navy.
23:49 That's incredible. I mean, you you get to see people's lives change firsthand because of what you experience. We got less than a minute left, but how do you think this has impacted our nation and the way we think about
24:01 God, the way we think about spirituality, and also the military. I think it was a before and after moment, not just for you, but for the military. And have we lost what we had right after 9 11? This is something we need
24:13 to recapture.
24:13 Well, after 9 11, we saw churches filled, and I think there's been some complacency. I think a lot of people have lost the urgency to go out and share the gospel because they don't think anything's gonna
24:25 happen. I think a 9 11 event sometimes is a wake up call, and I pray that people are gonna actually be woken up again. We're gonna have a great awakening in our country, and people are gonna go back and and find the Lord
24:37 and seek him with all their heart. That's my prayer for the nation.
24:40 Alright. Well, that is that's a good prayer, and I say amen to that. Thank you, Colonel Childress, for joining us. It's good
24:45 to meet you.
24:46 Good to meet you
24:46 as well. Well, coming up, 25 years after these attacks we're discussing, how have the recommendations of the 9 11 commission shaped our national defense? You'll hear more about it right
24:58 after this.
25:00 I think all people really need to have this type of education.
25:04 Well, I can tell you that it's been an amazing course period.
25:07 I think this course is a reminder that a biblical worldview should really impact everything. It impacts our government from the federal to the state to the local. It should impact what we're doing with our families and
25:14 with our work. God impact what we're doing with our families and with our work.
25:19 God and government is a video driven bible based training course from Family Research Council that explores the connection between biblical principles and American government. In
25:31 this 6 session video series, FRC president Tony Perkins equips participants with a practical understanding of civil government from a biblical world view.
25:42 I would encourage all people to take it. I almost wish I would have took it earlier that I could have taught my kids this.
25:48 I wish I had known these things when we were homeschooling because I think children and my adults now would just greatly be influenced by that information.
25:55 So I'm an attorney and for me, it gives me some direct practical knowledge of what I can do to try to impact my legal community to make better legislation, to try
26:07 to encourage legislators to make choices that have a biblical worldview, which is what we really want.
26:13 Any pastor would benefit from taking this course because we are dual citizens. Right? We are citizens of the kingdom of God, but we're also seated citizens of this great land, and that that comes with responsibility.
26:23 Even as someone who has been involved in these types of issues for a while, you're learning little bits and pieces of new stuff all the time. But it's also approachable enough that newer people, younger people, high
26:33 school, college students, they can really glean something from this. So I would encourage everybody to take this course, whether it's the videos, whether it's doing it in person, bring your Bible study group through it,
