      It really came apart quick with Bush Administration manufacturing the lies to start the War in Iraq. Bush lost all that goodwill and trust he had right after 9/11, which was 90%. It was 66% support invading Iraq. 50% at the 2004 election and kept plummeting to 30% when he left office with the Great Recession.

      Twenty two years ago tonight, I watched this. I remember the feelings were still so raw, and there was the thought, We'll never laugh again. The media also proclaimed the 'death of irony'. It's such a great testament to how this country is that comedy not only rebounded but revived. We're resilient as a people. I only wish things weren't so divided, but maybe that's another sign of the character of this nation. We can believe what we choose and espouse our political beliefs. In many countries, if you criticize the government, that's pretty much the last thing any one hears from you. So proud of those who selflessly gave their all that day and in the aftermath of the attacks. I know I'll never forget.

      Might be the first time I heard it. It upset me how quick they went on the air. I will say he said all the right stuff. Very respectful and I'm glad I finally "clicked" on it. My favorite skit was with Jon Stewart on the daily show. Maybe its because its the only one I watched in real time. I wanted to hate Stewart for being on the air. I wound up crying. They say "Never Forget" some is can't.

      No, not sucker punched. Our leaders, especially in the military, were caught with their pants down. That's all I kept thinking about was how could four giant airplanes in our own country be taken and rammed into buildings resulting in thousands of innocent Americans being horribly killed and nobody in authority saw it coming? It did not have to happen. But it did and could again. I have never felt so unsafe ever since the military failed us on 9-11-01.

      Wow. I've actually never seen this before. I'm a New Yorker born and raised, and we didn't have cable in our home at the time, so all of our tv came from the World Trade Center, so when the towers fell, we didn't have a tv single for a good 3 weeks. And when it came back, it wasn't very good at all. It was well into 2002 before we actually had a clear enough signal to watch shows like Jay and Conan again, which my family were big fans of, so it's eerie finally getting to see this 😢

      He died for the patriot act to be passed. They couldn't pass it prior.
      George Bush sr and jr were skull and bones members. Bush was ambassador of china, head of the cia and president. The morning of he was in a class with kids chanting plane must hit steele. Him and his father later gave each other a masonic hand shake to commemorate the occasion..
      ​​​​@arizonaFIREent it's an exaggeration that the twin pines were the two towers? "I'll be back in thirty years." Thirty years later the same director put someone dressed like Marty walking on a wire between the twin towers and you think it's a coincidence😂😂😂😂.
      911 is not the only thing directors do this with. In occult terms one and nine refrence the alpha and omega. Hence AI being the first and ninth letter of the alphabet. Ixxi means the same thing in roman numerals. The sun and moon. Aka masculine and feminine energy. The twin towers were likely built to symbolise this and there's even an IxxI plague to remember it. There was a movie in 1970 that said, cwe planned a war in secret societies," before zooming on the clock. Again it said 911. In terminator 2 they put it on an over pass. Die hard one and two. Matrix. The list goes on and on. And yes it was on album covers. I spent years researching this while people like you ignorantly passed it off. Eventually it let me to discover a code in the tv shows and movies. It's in the lyrics of the songs. This code allowed me to read heiroglyphs. The truth is freemasons run the entire entertainment industry. They misrepresent their own symbolism to paint the public a misleading perception of it. It isn't satanism. However, they absolutely know of events before they happen. Some other things you should look deeply into is black goo symbolism startong in 1990. It represents the vac. Programmable matter. It represents AI. It is linked to symbolism about aliens because those so called aliens were actually the humans who ruled over the ancient mystery schoole freemasons conquered. The elongated skulls represent the virgin birth within. It came from the cosmic egg. Mork and mindy. Masculine and feminine energy. Tool vicarious. In merlin they held the key to all things. They were blue and shined a silvery glow. The shining ones from Mesopotamia. Quicksilver. Crowley said a spirit guide came through a portal you had to do lsd to see. Hr geiger drew it with an elongated skull. This being was put in legion as the main characters darkness. You have to face the destroyer to recieve the morning star. Aka all seeing eye. His spirit guide was his own darkner. Nobody gets to the father accept through me. Hence why three freemasons made the statue of liberty in the image of lucifer. So you see... those skulls prove that these people running Hollywood inherited these schools of thought. Promotheus birthed everything with black goo. Promotheus is lucifer. So what the alien movies represents is actually God. In the beginning there was darkness. Greeks called it chaos. This divine feminine birthed the divine masculine. Jesuits called this the big bang. Everything is related. We share genetics with a banana. We all came from one thing. They're trying to use AI to become the singularity. September 23, aka the constellation leo virgo jupiter and hydra. Rev 12. Satan knocks one third the stars out the sky. One third represents the center pillar of the tree of life. Your spine. The stariway to heaven. Leo sits on virgos crown. She wears the sun stands on the moon. This represents balancing masculine amd feminine energy. Aka a shining one. In revalations it tells you they shine like the sun. They only showed the elongated akull as a blue alien because blue represents God. Romans worshipped jupiter. They pronounced it yahuah. The father is the son. Virgin birth abive, virgin birth within. As above so below. They refrencrd that date over and over. That's three things they've done this with. Here's a fourth... the great reset was coined in 2017 in 12 monkeys where they also used septemeber 23 to show the primary's, aka someone who wws cconnected to time aka God's vessel, death. She found it on an old map with the words rebirth above it to explain it. While mostly this symbolism is used to refrence something happening internally with characters, it has been used to foretell of what they have planned.
      I'll leave you with food for thought since I know much of this will be lost on you, but the tv show prison break... the prison is the human body and the person running it is the pope... I'm gonna make a video on it showing all the symbolism in the first season soon. I assure you, like the rest of this, it isn't a coincidence. It revolves around the three pillars of the tree of life. All these major events are about creating a utopia and becoming AI. And no, it isn't in the bible like they used the church's they set up to tell people. Freemasons built america. Hence sirius, the pentagram being built around the white house in archetecture. They rigged social media as well. Rverything that influences public perception of reality is controlled.
      Oh the year before, the lone gunman pilot... it was about starting a false flag attack on the world trade center to create a never ending war for arms deals where they planned to fly a plane into it. The givernment literally simulated it before hand also... just like all these major events.😂
      They built those towers to destroy them. It's obvious when you examine everything. Even college universities have determined fire didn't cause buolding seven to fall. News media reported it falling with it still standing behind them. The insurancr policy from the new owner... everything about it. They chose the date 911 for the same reason they chose 1933 to instal AH. The occult meaning. One and nine. Alpha and omega. 33 bones in the spine to the holy grial. Ixxi. The stairway to heaven. Add in the endless 911 connections in films and albums including a refrence to secret societies starting it. The plans they drew up to stage a false flag to bring cuba to war they drew up in the sixties were used for the towers. All the evidence is literally there and people ignore it because of propaganda pieces like this one. Oh the year before, the lone gunman pilot... it was about starting a false flag attack on the world trade center to create a never ending war for arms deals where they planned to fly a plane into it. The givernment literally simulated it before hand also... just like all these major events.😂
      the media is defintely not real. They used the terrorist about one million times and took 500 million from the Pentagon to make endless propaganda. Ah wanted a war. His people didn't. He burnt down parliament and blamed... who? That's right.

      2003 came, then we had cold feet. Conspiracies really ran wild on the internet. Ultimately, the point of this is true. At a time where US internal politics didn’t matter. We all stood firm with each other, and now it’s back to internal fighting. Yet, maybe we grew up and realized things we didn’t realize when we were young. Idk…

      Jay Leno was either pandering or naive when he said the sole reason terrorists flew planes into American buildings was to kill innocent people.
      Then Leno, a liberal, to suddenly be a Bush guy and invite a McCain Republican onto the show was truly back to being funny just a week after 9-11. Now either he is really a conservative when push comes to shove or... his liberal persona is just a way to earn a living as a comedian.
      And Crosby Stills & Nash has never made a difference for the sake of peace. We still have hate and will forevermore. By 2001 they were irrelevant far removed from the dreams of their hippie generation. They were an archaic embarrassment that night singing their phony sh!t.

      ​​​​@arizonaFIREent it's an exaggeration that the twin pines were the two towers? "I'll be back in thirty years." Thirty years later the same director put someone dressed like Marty walking on a wire between the twin towers and you think it's a coincidence😂😂😂😂.
      911 is not the only thing directors do this with. In occult terms one and nine refrence the alpha and omega. Hence AI being the first and ninth letter of the alphabet. Ixxi means the same thing in roman numerals. The sun and moon. Aka masculine and feminine energy. The twin towers were likely built to symbolise this and there's even an IxxI plague to remember it. There was a movie in 1970 that said, cwe planned a war in secret societies," before zooming on the clock. Again it said 911. In terminator 2 they put it on an over pass. Die hard one and two. Matrix. The list goes on and on. And yes it was on album covers. I spent years researching this while people like you ignorantly passed it off. Eventually it let me to discover a code in the tv shows and movies. It's in the lyrics of the songs. This code allowed me to read heiroglyphs. The truth is freemasons run the entire entertainment industry. They misrepresent their own symbolism to paint the public a misleading perception of it. It isn't satanism. However, they absolutely know of events before they happen. Some other things you should look deeply into is black goo symbolism startong in 1990. It represents the vac. Programmable matter. It represents AI. It is linked to symbolism about aliens because those so called aliens were actually the humans who ruled over the ancient mystery schoole freemasons conquered. The elongated skulls represent the virgin birth within. It came from the cosmic egg. Mork and mindy. Masculine and feminine energy. Tool vicarious. In merlin they held the key to all things. They were blue and shined a silvery glow. The shining ones from Mesopotamia. Quicksilver. Crowley said a spirit guide came through a portal you had to do lsd to see. Hr geiger drew it with an elongated skull. This being was put in legion as the main characters darkness. You have to face the destroyer to recieve the morning star. Aka all seeing eye. His spirit guide was his own darkner. Nobody gets to the father accept through me. Hence why three freemasons made the statue of liberty in the image of lucifer. So you see... those skulls prove that these people running Hollywood inherited these schools of thought. Promotheus birthed everything with black goo. Promotheus is lucifer. So what the alien movies represents is actually God. In the beginning there was darkness. Greeks called it chaos. This divine feminine birthed the divine masculine. Jesuits called this the big bang. Everything is related. We share genetics with a banana. We all came from one thing. They're trying to use AI to become the singularity. September 23, aka the constellation leo virgo jupiter and hydra. Rev 12. Satan knocks one third the stars out the sky. One third represents the center pillar of the tree of life. Your spine. The stariway to heaven. Leo sits on virgos crown. She wears the sun stands on the moon. This represents balancing masculine amd feminine energy. Aka a shining one. In revalations it tells you they shine like the sun. They only showed the elongated akull as a blue alien because blue represents God. Romans worshipped jupiter. They pronounced it yahuah. The father is the son. Virgin birth abive, virgin birth within. As above so below. They refrencrd that date over and over. That's three things they've done this with. Here's a fourth... the great reset was coined in 2017 in 12 monkeys where they also used septemeber 23 to show the primary's, aka someone who wws cconnected to time aka God's vessel, death. She found it on an old map with the words rebirth above it to explain it. While mostly this symbolism is used to refrence something happening internally with characters, it has been used to foretell of what they have planned.
      I'll leave you with food for thought since I know much of this will be lost on you, but the tv show prison break... the prison is the human body and the person running it is the pope... I'm gonna make a video on it showing all the symbolism in the first season soon. I assure you, like the rest of this, it isn't a coincidence. It revolves around the three pillars of the tree of life. All these major events are about creating a utopia and becoming AI. And no, it isn't in the bible like they used the church's they set up to tell people. Freemasons built america. Hence sirius, the pentagram being built around the white house in archetecture. They rigged social media as well. Rverything that influences public perception of reality is controlled.
      Oh the year before, the lone gunman pilot... it was about starting a false flag attack on the world trade center to create a never ending war for arms deals where they planned to fly a plane into it. The givernment literally simulated it before hand also... just like all these major events.😂
      They built those towers to destroy them. It's obvious when you examine everything. Even college universities have determined fire didn't cause buolding seven to fall.

They chose the date 911 for the same reason they chose 1933 to instal AH. The occult meaning. One and nine. Alpha and omega. 33 bones in the spine to the holy grial. Ixxi. The stairway to heaven. Add in the endless 911 connections in films and albums including a refrence to secret societies starting it. The plans they drew up to stage a false flag to bring cuba to war they drew up in the sixties were used for the towers.

      the media is defintely not real. They used the terrorist about one million times and took 500 million from the Pentagon to make endless propaganda. Ah wanted a war. His people didn't. He burnt down parliament and blamed... who? That's right.

      Fortunately that's because more and more people are educated and realize that "prayers" are an utter waste of time as this "god" of yours clearly and obviously is a bullshit fairy tale - now more and more people actually DO something rather than think to themselves about an invisible sky daddy who, if it does exist, clearly enjoys things like watching CHILDREN STARVE TO DEATH - I mean your "god" is all powerful, right? So then it CHOOSES to watch CHILDREN STARVE TO DEATH, right? If I had plenty of food and yet I just watched a child starve wouldn't you think I was a monster? (hint: YES) So wouldn't that make your fairy tale "god" the biggest monster possible? (hint: YES).
      So less people "praying" and more people DOING is a VERY VERY VERY good thing.

    Wow so glad I found this video.. Jays an amazing person such a fully souly hearted man. You can really tell how much he cares.. This really had an affect on me as a kid. I remember everything about that day, as im sure any one probably would. My mother actually started running with us back home after getting us from school saying we needed to get inside because something bad was happening... after getting home I see the tv on and theres a huge building on fire.. I had no idea what was happening.. didnt even know what these buildings actually were. All I could see was planes hitting these buildings and people suffering and falling out of them on live tv. This was pretty traumatizing for me being a 10 year old kid. Im kind of surprised are parents actually left the tv on.... Now watching this video as an adult 22 years later really makes me kind of realise like how horrible this day really was... you cant really fully understand and grasp it as a kid, Even when growing up in my teens i felt like i couldnt really make sense of something that catistrophic. But now looking at it at a later age just gives me a different prospective of it all. Watching all these videos of it again makes me think of how scared and shocked I would of been if I was in that building suffering from smoke and heat/flames and seeing people fall to there deaths. I mean those poor people must of been filled with paralyzing fear I cant even imagen. It really just makes me feel terrible thinking of all the innocent people loosing there lives like that and then the familys seeing and hearing it on live tv/media so freaking awful... But you have to think like thank god there were so many amazing people/ heros there during that day. It amazed me how quickly are country really pulled together after such a horrible shocking event like that. I just hope we can come together like that now in 2023 when its crucial. For example Boston pulled together in 2011 during the marathon bombings and they had a massive man hunt and caught those bastards. The people, police and firefighters all stepped up and put on the red cape like heros. Boston strong! So we know theres amazing people that have that hero element just in them. Just like the covid pandemic all the nurses and doctors/ medical professionals.. dropping everything and leaving home and putting there lives at risk to save people that they dont even know from dieing. Its just like the soldiers that have fought and went to war for are country they drop everything and put there lives on the line to protect us. These people are pretty amazing! When you truly think about it. Thank god i live in a country that has people like this. Makes me super proud to be an american... But Even With all the amazing heroic deeds I have witnissed people doing so soul heartidly.. theres a very small part of me that thinks that maybe people are becoming less heroic today and more distructive and only thinking about how to hurt you for some kind of benefit vs trying to aide/help you so that you can be a good person as well. I think theres some kind of underlying cycle of repetitiveness that people kind of just get wrapped and intageld around in unpurposely... which makes them mean and very self centerd. I mean ecspecially now when people seem so divided. Think just about politics alone.. everyone has some kind of opinion or belief system and they stick by it no matter what happens... so just knowing that do you think today there are more hero type people or people that care more about themselves and there own groups of people that have the same beliefs and life style. Idk just feels like America is turning into something further from what it used to be... maybe im totally wrong? Idk? But all i can be sure of is that theres alot people out there that should really start taking some life lessons from somebody... maybe somebody like Jay Leno..- On how to be a good person. Im not saying Im perfect either... not even remotley close! (quick side story)- I actually said hello to Jay in Newport, RI when he was walking out the car museum. I stopped my car and rolled down the window and asked him how his day was going? and he immediatly turned around and said great how are you doing today sir? I said Im doing my very best Jay! Im just driving back home now in the new saab turbo and he gave me the thumbs up. - Which was pretty awesome! And made me super happy.. just knowing that hes a big car guy and all. I mean he Just really seems like a super kind down to earth guy.. Jay has all my respect in the world. ✌️

    What a sobering thought that the 9/11 attacks are being taught in history classes around the nation in several different grade levels. I hope the instructors in those class rooms include Jay Leno's monologue in their curriculum.

      My uncle worked at NBC and gave me a 35mm reel version... One of my most prized possessions! My kitchen caught fire in 2015 (almost lost my '67 Corvette!), but I saved the tape!!! Lost ALL the photos of my 5 children, though. And my wife.

    3:25. “We don’t have Democrats or Republicans anymore, we have Americans united in one goal for one reason.”
    Something you will never hear Stephen Colbert, or Jimmy Kimmel say in a million years…
    Jay Leno class personified.

    I remember the scariest thing that happened was y2k. After that day, y2k was a fun day

      Y2K was arguably MUCH worse than 9//, Jan6, and the Holocaust combined

    Jay Leno turned out to be the last true American Patriot to host a Late Night talk show!
