What up doe!!!! another hiatus, we know but family comes first!
Today we talk some 9/11 #neverforget and the end of our privacy with the good ole Patriot Act. From there things get crazy as the MetroTimes wrote and article about Matt's Twitter account asking one of their writers about his journalistic integrity. It only went off the rails from there. Finally we end with one of the dumbest humans ever, Mel Tucker and his down fall as he hit the trifecta of stupidity by sexting with a sexual assault victim.

SEASON 2 of Kait Coaching The Podcast begins with an impactful episode. This week, Kaitlyn sits down with her brother Matthew to have an honest conversation with holocaust survivor Mark Schonwetter.
Over the last few years, Mark and his daughters Ann Arnold and Isabella Fiske, have been sharing his story of survival with adults of all ages as well as students all over the United States. In 2016, Ann put her father's story in writing and published her first book, Together A Journey for Survival. Through Ann & Isabella's travels and speaking engagements they discovered one of the biggest obstacles that schools face with Holocaust Education is budget restraints.
As a result, they have established the Mark Schonwetter Holocaust Education Foundation. The goal of this foundation is to raise funds to allow schools to apply for grants that will aide them in purchasing materials and funding programs that will enhance Holocaust curriculum.

On this, the 21st Anniversary of that fatal day, we give our respects to 9-11. Never Forget. Preston had to call 911 on 9-11. Ugh. College football did not disappoint this past week. The new top 25 is a lot different than the week before. Find out why Iowas fans suck. It's also Dallas Cowboys season opener time and Fake Jerry takes over the podcast for a bit. All this and so much more on this episode of Rock Sports Radio.
America surrendered to the Taliban… Now what? You know
the saying, 'When the cat’s away, the mice will play’? Well,
similarly, ‘Now that America's away, the Taliban will play' -
not only cooking up devious plots to destroy the West - but
literally, as they have already begun doing: stuffed into swan-
shaped brightly colored paddle boats on a lake in the middle
of Afghanistan without a care in the world, while America is
at greater risk of terror attacks than ever! It’s their own
'Pleasure Island', and we can hope they turn into donkeys
like the bad boys in Pinocchio, but we need to wake up and
smell the crisis.
Today’s podcast starts with a brief look back at the 20th
Anniversary of 9/11, and the music video that The Terrorist
Therapist® created, which circled Ground Zero on a mobile
billboard, urging people to #NeverForget and more. (You can
also see the video for yourself on www.terroristtherapist.com.)
Then hear about the assaults on the teaching of the true
history of 9/11, and how some would rather we lie and not say
that “terrorists” attacked us on 9/11, for fear that it causes
Islamophobia.
Our abrupt, humiliating and disastrous retreat from
Afghanistan is naturally causing controversy in Congress,
including over issues that one would have thought were
already covered by legislation, such as designating the
Taliban as the Foreign Terrorist Organization they are. Yet,
even though we’ve been in Afghanistan for 20 years, there
are some who are still naive about the minds of terrorists
and believe: our millions of dollars of aid will go into the
mouths of hungry Afghans instead of theTaliban’s pockets,
ALL the Afghans who we flew into America are our ‘friends’,
and the Taliban -who we left in power- have seen the error of
their ways and are really the nice guys they portrayed at their
first press conference, despite their having already
demonstrated their ongoing predilection for executions and
other random violence.
Jason stakes 9/18 as the part we should also never forget as a tribute to those who died on 9/11 and in every mistaken action since then.
God Bless the USA by Lee Greenwood
It's been 20 years since 9/11, and it has not ended for so many and perhaps, never will.
Some were evacuated and rescued, many lost their lives or loved ones, jumped in to help others, and continue to suffer the after-effects.
When I turned the TV on that morning, what I saw left me in utter disbelief and it hit hard, life would not be the same again. The impact continues to linger. What we need to take away from this is the need to be resilient, to be together against all odds.
Here's my story...
It's the 20th Anniversary of 9/11 Show. Never Forget. The Dallas Cowboys opened their season Thursday night in a nail biter of a game against the GOAT. Preston had some neighbor drama and Quay caught it on video. Who is back in college football??? Well, the Razorbacks for one. Stay tuned for all this and more!
The Cat and the Horror
By Jim Woods
There was a cat sleeping on my porch
She didn’t know what I had witnessed
The lacerated skyline of metropolis
A bleeding out of her twin sons
Flying lancets piercing steel hulls
Black smoke seasoning the azure sky
As the falling man descends to the concrete
Incendiary ideas born in Bronze
To please a prophet on a white horse
Hatred of the good for being the good
Crumbles a once-proud icon
Falling ash blankets District streets
A macabre concoction of concrete, bone, blood
Fury rises in the giant’s heart
Rage and revenge burn white
Country targeted, let there be fight
Two decades later, let there be flight
There is a cat sleeping on my porch
While the world remembers
Jim Woods

**********
On Saturday, we mark the 20th anniversary of the attacks on September 11, 2001.
And yet the passing of two decades hasn’t been enough to fade our scars. And for me, those scars will never be allowed to fade.
Etched on my personal black box recorder are the memories I had circa 1999, when I checked in at the World Trade Center lobby to report to work for my first day at Morgan Stanley. The firm’s training program for new advisers/traders took place in those Twin Towers, and in the weeks that followed, I spent many an afternoon high atop the Manhattan skyline, learning the business inside the iconic monument erected to celebrate capitalism, Western achievement and the wealth of nations.
Their boldness, their glaring simplicity, their twin-brother like stance and their defiance of the rest of the New York City skyline was all part of the reason the World Trade Center was targeted for destruction by forces whose primary directive is death to the infidel.
On that day, when the blue skies were pierced by the stiletto insertion of commercial jets into the towers, I watched the events unravel from some 2,500 miles west. A condo nestled at the foot of the Hollywood Hills hardly seemed congruent to the billowing smoke oozing out of the structural siblings.
The only connection in my mind was… my mind.
A mind having been there just a couple of years earlier, wondering what it would be like to actually be there in that moment.
Wondering if I would have been incinerated along with the roughly 2,600 other souls that were extinguished that day.
Wondering if I would have acted heroically, the way so many did.
Wondering if I would have succumbed to the cowardice that so often accompanies paralytic fear.
I would like to think I could have been a hero. I need to think I would have been a hero.
Fortunately, I didn’t have to find out.
Instead, from afar, from the safety of Hollywood, I watched. All day, all night, I watched. Compelled by the horror; compelled by the enormity. Thinking to myself, “Will this be the world from here on?”
Would the world be plunged into war? At that moment, I wanted war. I wanted vengeance. I wanted to pound those responsible, and the philosophy that animated these acts, into a pulp.
I still want to.
I want to stoke the burn of that day. I want to remember the collapse of icons.
I want to keep calling out the life-hating, celebratory death cult of ideas that is radical Islam, and I want to rejoice in its defeat.
The scars of history must never be allowed to heal, and no salve of time should be permitted to mask the day America would be altered forever.
Even though the events of 911 occurred 20 years ago, the mental, physical, and emotional impact continues to live on in the memories of many. It is critically important we continue to educate and raise awareness especially with those who are too young to remember 911. Listen in as Hostess Mary Baca passionately covers this topic.
In this special edition episode of the Spun Today Podcast, you’ll hear a collection of firsthand experiences, from New Yorkers that lived through the events of 9/11. Memories are fleeting and have a way of fading away into a once-upon-a-time haze that we seldom revisit and when we do, they just seem like surreal experiences. I think that an important component to history not repeating itself, is continuing to share and speak about our learned experiences. Where were you during the events of 9/11?
