That was one of the biggest tragedies in recorded history. Do you even know what it did to the economy? It was like Black Monday on a 5x multiplier.

The World Trade Center, keyword TRADE. This isn't pokemon shit, this is real-world stocks and dollars. The portfolios were ruined.

The next time you laugh at that, think about the human beings that had their vacation bonuses decimated that day. Think about how the economic blow made countries like China catch up to us. Just think about that.

Why did that happen? Why did that happen on September 11, that is my question...It’s because United States have been going over there trespassing, stealing their stuff… now they make it seem like they came over here and bombed us for nothing. How did the United States let this happen. How can you talk about my words when the big question is how can you let this happen.
