ASYLUM -- IT'S A TOUGH SPOT
TO BE IN.
STEVE: YESTERDAY AT ABOUT
8:45 ON THIS PROGRAM WE DID
WHAT WE HAVE DONE FOR THE
LAST 18 YEARS AND THAT IS WE
STEPPED ASIDE AND WE WENT
DOWN TO THE FORMER GROUND
ZERO AREA AND WE LISTENED TO
FAMILY MEMBERS OF THE FALLEN
READ THE NAMES.
AND, YESTERDAY, THERE WAS
ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO WAS
INVOLVED IN THE READING OF
THE NAMES.
THAT MAN RIGHT THERE IN THE
T-SHIRT, NICHOLAS HARRIS JR.
LOST HIS MOM, FRANCIS, SHE
WAS ON THE SOUTH TOWER ON
9/11.
HE ACTUALLY WORKED IN THE
SOUTH TOWER, TOO.
BUT WAS OUT OF TOWN ON A
BUSINESS TRIP.
AND IT'S NOT JUST WHAT HE
SAID BUT IT'S THAT T-SHIRT
THAT HE IS WEARING.
DIEWS WHAT IT SAYS?
IT SAYS SOME PEOPLE DID
SOMETHING WHICH IS A VERY
RECOGNIZABLE PHRASE.
KATIE: THAT IS A REFERENCE
TO CONGRESSWOMAN ILHAN OMAR
WHEN SHE SAID THIS.
>> CAIR WAS FOUNDED AFTER
9/11 BECAUSE THEY RECOGNIZE
DOLLARS THAT SOME PEOPLE DID
SOMETHING AND THAT ALL OF US
WERE STARTING TO LOSE ACCESS
TO OUR CIVIL LIBERTIES.
BRIAN: WOW.
AND THAT REALLY STRUCK A RAW
NERVE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE
9/11 COMMUNITY AND THOSE WHO
LOST PEOPLE.
PEOPLE COULDN'T UNDERSTAND
HOW A SITTING CONGRESSWOMAN
COULD MAKE A STATEMENT ABOUT
THAT DIMINISHING WHAT
HAPPENED ON 9/11.
HERE IS NICHOLAS HARRIS JR.
TALKING ABOUT WHY HE WORE
THE SHIRT.
>> SOME PEOPLE DID
SOMETHING.
TODAY I AM HERE TO RESPOND
TO YOU EXACTLY WHO DID WHAT
TO WHOM.
MADAM.
[APPLAUSE]
OBJECTIVELY SPEAKING, WE
KNOW WHO AND WHAT WAS DONE.
THERE IS NO UNCERTAINTY
ABOUT THAT.
WHY YOUR CONFUSION ON THAT
DAY 19 ISLAMIC TERRORISTS
MEMBERS OF AL QAEDA KILLED
OVER 3,000 PEOPLE AND CAUSED
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF
ECONOMIC DAMAGE.
IS THAT CLEAR?
WE ARE HERE TODAY,
CONGRESSWOMAN, TO TELL YOU
AND THE SQUAD JUST WHO DID
WHAT TO WHOM.
SHOW RESPECT AND HONORING
THEM, PLEASE.
STEVE: SO, CONGRESSWOMAN
OMAR HAS SAID THAT HER WORDS
WERE TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT.
YESTERDAY CONGRESSWOMAN
TLAIB ALSO RESPONDED THE
WORDS WERE OUT OF CONTEXT.
NONETHELESS, THE MAN IN THE
T-SHIRT WAS ON WITH SEAN
LAST NIGHT AND EXPANDED ON
WHY HE WORE THAT SHIRT ON
THAT DAY.
>> I CALL VICTIMS, FAMILY
MEMBERS OF VICTIMS, WE ALL
HURT AND AS WE KNOW TO SOME
EXTENT 9/11 WE SAY NEVER
FORGET BUT IT'S DWINDLING
DOWN A BIT.
SEAN: NOT FOR YOU.
>> I DON'T REMEMBER WHERE I
WAS WHEN I FIRST HEARD THAT
QUOTE SOME PEOPLE DID
SOMETHING.
BUT IT TORE MY HEART APART
AND IT TORE MY MOM'S HEART
APART WITH THE THOUGHT THAT
SUCH A GREAT LOSS TO
INDIVIDUALS COULD BE SO
INSENSITIVELY EXPRESSED AND
THAT HURT.
STEVE: CONGRESSWOMAN OMAR
YESTERDAY DID POST A VIDEO
AND TALKED ABOUT ON 9/11 SHE
WAS OBVIOUSLY 18 YEARS
YOUNGER.
SHE THOUGHT THE WORLD WAS
COMING TO AN END.
BRIAN: SHE SAID WE WILL
NEVER FORGET THE THOUSANDS
OF AMERICANS WHO LOST THEIR
LIVES IN THE LARGEST TERROR
ATTACK ON U.S. SOIL.
I WILL CONTINUE TO FIGHT TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE CARE FOR
THE FIRST RESPONDERS AND
FAMILIES WHO LOST LOVED ONES
ON THAT DAY.
KATIE: SHE MAYBE SHOULD CARE
ABOUT FIGHTING TERRORISM AS
WELL.
IT'S A TWO FOLD PROCESS.
STEVE: NONETHELESS IT WAS AN
EXTRAORDINARY THING FOR
SOMEBODY WHO IS READING ONE
OF THE PEOPLE WHO READ THE
NAMES, HE WAS OBVIOUSLY
DOING THE H'S BECAUSE HIS
NAME IS HERROS.
TAKE AIM AT SITTING MEMBER
OF CONGRESS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT
HE SAID AS HE WORE THAT
