I\u2019m holding it here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers. &#8220;The Path to 9\/11 is not a documentary of the events leading to 9\/11. It\u2019s a dramatization drawn from a variety of sources, including the 9\/11 Commission Report, other published materials and personal interviews. As such, for dramatic and narrative purposes the movie contains fictionalized scenes, composite and representative characters, and dialogue and time compression. No one has seen the final version of the film because the editing process is not yet complete, so criticisms of film specifics are premature and irresponsible. The attacks of 9\/11 were a pivotal moment in our history, and it\u2019s fitting that the debate about the events related to the attacks continue. However, we hope viewers will watch the entire broadcast of the finished film before forming an opinion about it.&#8221; <\/line><BR\/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/see_2.Par.0002.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"250\" height=\"180\" class=\"alignleft\"\/> Okay. So there\u2019s the statement. Now, you want me to analyze this? (interruption) You think what? It sounds like &#8212; yeah, the admission that they\u2019re still editing this. Well they can\u2019t shoot a different ending. If they start shooting a different ending, then we know something\u2019s up here. But there\u2019s something about this, and I said when I first got word that nobody has seen the final version. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Now, I don\u2019t want to be conspiratorial, and I\u2019m not trying to be paranoid, but there are certain things that we know to be true about the Drive-By Media and the entertainment media. Okay, The Path to 9\/11 is not a documentary of the events leading to 9\/11. It\u2019s a dramatization drawn from a variety of sources including the 9\/11 Commission &#8212; by the way, I had heard all these changes were going to be made. <\/line><BR\/>This is not news that they were going to put &#8212; I said earlier today, they were going to put graphics in front of this thing and say, hey, hey, hey, &#8220;This is not a documentary, it\u2019s a dramatization drawn from a variety of sources: 9\/11 Commission report, other published materials, and personal interviews. The movie contains fictionalized scenes.&#8221; The version I have does not say that. So that\u2019s, you know, probably been added. &#8220;No one has seen the final version of the film because the editing process is not yet complete, so criticisms of film specifics are premature and irresponsible.&#8221; Well, they may not have seen the final version, but we\u2019ve seen enough to know that they\u2019re editing things out of it.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>I, on Monday, will be able to tell you, ladies and gentlemen, what has been taken out of this, if anything. Because if they are responding to the Democrats, if they are responding to the thuggery and the bully tactics in the Clinton administration, if they do take those scenes out of there, I will know. Not only I, but the others who have seen it. Richard Ben-Veniste, a whole room of Democrats, saw the whole thing. I\u2019m not the only one that\u2019s seen it. So now they\u2019re still editing. And when they announce that they\u2019re editing it in the face of criticism from one political spectrum, the libs and the Democrats and the Clinton administration, well, the little red flags of curiosity start darting up. We will keep a sharp eye on this. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/see_2.Par.0008.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"197\" height=\"255\" class=\"alignright\"\/> I\u2019m still looking at this statement from ABC Entertainment on The Path to 9\/11. Now, don\u2019t get confused. Folks, there\u2019s a couple stories out there, and some of them hit this morning and some of them hit yesterday about edits due to artistic consideration. There\u2019s a list things. In fact, Hugh Hewitt had them on his blog yesterday, and I mentioned it but I didn\u2019t get a chance to read them to you on the air so we linked to his blog at RushLimbaugh.com. Always go to RushLimbaugh.com. Despite what you hear on this program, there\u2019s always even more there, at the end of each day. These edits, these artistic edits that are going around now, there\u2019s an LA Times story, a Tribune Services story, the ones that Hugh Hewitt mentioned, they\u2019re the kind of edits that, for those of us who have seen this thing we probably wouldn\u2019t even know they had been made, from what Hugh says. <\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re not substantive and so forth. But I tell you, the Clinton people are making a big scene out of this, and it just strikes me again. It\u2019s all about them. Are they concerned that maybe George Tenet has been misportrayed here? Are they concerned that the CIA maybe has been not fully accurately represented? No, they don\u2019t care about any of that. It\u2019s just about them. It\u2019s just about them. If they\u2019re making ABC, if they\u2019re really pressuring Bob Iger at ABC to make substantive changes in this to please the Clinton people, then they\u2019re going to have a big problem after this because they\u2019re going to have shown that they will buckle. This is all premature. I\u2019m just saying the way I read this, &#8216;No one has seen the final version of the film because the editing process is not yet complete so criticisms of film specifics are premature and irresponsible.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>Well, they know what the main criticisms are. They know what the controversial parts of the movie are, and if they take them out, it\u2019s not going to be good for them. And, you know, got the Clinton guys, even on TV, throwing Tenet under the bus. They don\u2019t care. They will throw anybody under the bus, in the park, whatever, in order to save themselves. This legacy they have is just so flimsy, it\u2019s so phony, built totally on spin. The idea that a five-hour TV movie can upset this legacy that they have established for themselves or that they think they\u2019ve established for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>END TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>*Note: Links to content outside RushLimbaugh.com usually become inactive over time.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/windows\/windowsmedia\/en\/download\/default.asp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/see_2.Par.0005.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"18\" class=\"alignleft\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have here the statement from ABC, ladies and gentlemen.
