SPECIAL RELEASE: “They’ll Have to Kill Me. I’m Not Going to Be Silenced” - Curt Weldon on 9/11

**Tucker Carlson** (0:04)
This September 11th, 2026, marks 25 years since the biggest terror attack on American soil. We remember the ones who died on 9-11, the responders who lost their lives trying to save Americans, and of course, the armed forces who fought the Middle Eastern wars that followed. We prayed for their families, and we continue to pray for peace. All these years later, though, it is clearer than ever that 9-11 was used to justify a much larger and much more sinister agenda. And it makes you wonder, why don't we know exactly what happened that day? We don't know because the government is continuing to hide the 9-11 files. That's not the behavior of an honest organization. That's the behavior of liars, people with something to hide.
That's why Curt Weldon has written this book, Able Danger, What the 9-11 Commission Never Told You. It's available now at tuckercarlsonbooks.com.
Curt Weldon joins us to talk about it. Thank you for doing this.

Tucker, it's great to be back with you. And I thank you for allowing me to do the interview one year ago. Since that interview, a lot of information has come forward. And as I explained when we first met, my commitment here is not just as a 20-year member of Congress, but I'm a firefighter. I devoted my life to the American Fire Service.
I was a fire chief.
I was a state fire instructor. And I was at the World Trade Center in 1993 with the Fire Department of New York. And I was there on 9-11, not as a politician, as a firefighter. My good friend, Chief Ray Downing, was killed at 9-11. And I feel, to this day, responsible that I allow bureaucrats to deny the information that could have prevented 9-11 from happening. I now have that factual information. Because of my position in Congress, my position as Vice-Chairman of Armed Services, and Tucker, I'm not going to be silenced. They'll have to kill me. I'm not going to be silenced.

**Tucker Carlson** (2:03)
Well, the FBI famously tried to silence you by going after your daughter in the middle of a congressional race, which you lost, thanks to the FBI. So they have a track record of trying to make you be quiet. It hasn't worked.
So at this point, 25 years later, what are the big facts about 9-11 that most Americans don't know?

**Curt Weldon** (2:25)
The 9-11 Commission, one, was established as a cover-up. The brother of one of the commissioners endorses my book, Chris Lehman, who was a White House National Security Advisor for Ronald Reagan. You can see his comment on the cover of the book.
In addition, the facts are that we had a dedicated group of intelligence officers in a special program created in the Army called Able Danger. They identified a year before that the New York cell of Al Qaeda was in New York. They tried to transfer the information three times to the Justice Department and were blocked. That's all factually documented, and they're all coming out publicly with me. All 10 of them are publicly behind me, openly stating the facts are true. In addition, Louis Fried wrote an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal saying that the 9-11 Commission ignored Able Danger.
General Keith Lambert, Jeff Lambert, the head of Special Forces Command, in his book called Horse Soldiers, New York Times bestseller on page 27, was asked the question, what were your thoughts when 9-11 happened? He says in the book, within seconds, I knew who had done the attack, and I knew it involved Muhammad Atta because I had been briefed on a top secret Army intelligence program that had tried to transfer the information three times. That's not me saying that, Tucker. That's our top military commander of the Special Forces, and that's the FBI director. 9-11 has been covered up to the American people by our own government, not by the entire government, not by all the members of Congress, but by a few leaders, and unfortunately, the Congress is unwilling to take it on. I'm not backing down.

**Tucker Carlson** (4:08)
Why do you think the US government would cover up 9-11? Why do you think there would certain officials in certain agencies, not the whole government, not all agencies?
But certain officials in certain agencies, I think your book makes it very clear, indisputable, knew that an attack of this kind was coming and didn't do anything meaningful to stop it. Why?

**Curt Weldon** (4:30)
Tucker, I think it's more than they knew was the attack was coming. I think there were officials in our government who planned the attack.
And I have documents in the book, one of which I've explained to you, that I've uncovered to me. On the day my daughter's home was raided, six hours after they raided her house, I was warned by someone from the Pentagon as to why the raid was occurring. This wasn't some thing where we knew it. This was a planned effort, Tucker, a planned effort that not just killed 3,000 people and 343 firefighters who are the reason why I'm doing this. 9,800 people lost their lives because we then sent 2,500 soldiers to Afghanistan looking for Bin Laden. 2,500 came home in body bags.
