Dan Rather.  This is the David Letterman show September 17th, 2001.  Letterman says, &#8220;Are they now joyous?&#8221;  Meaning the Islamists, the jihadists, are they joyous, are they celebrating now, Dan?<\/p>\n<p>RATHER:  Oh, absolutely, they\u2019re celebrating.  There\u2019s one report, this has not been confirmed, but there\u2019s several reports there was a cell, one of these cells across the Hudson River, and they got on the &#8212; this is the report, I emphasize, I don\u2019t know this for a fact, but there\u2019s several witnesses who say this happened.  They got on the roof of the building to look across, they knew what was gonna happen, they were waiting for it to happen, and when it happened, they celebrated.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_114740\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/DanRather-Letterman-Speech-Bub.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH:  No!  Okay, so you have this, now, so Trump could have seen this, this is Letterman, this is September 17th.  This is six days after 9\/11.  You got the New York Post story, the Washington Post story, all kinds of people talking about it. Pablo Guzman Eyewitness News 2 New York with a report on the rooftop celebrating, apparently there\u2019s all kinds of media about the Islamists celebrating 9\/11.  All kinds of it.  And Trump, all he\u2019s done is say, &#8220;I saw it. I saw it.&#8221;  And the Drive-Bys and their fact-checkers, &#8220;No, no, no, it didn\u2019t happen because we didn\u2019t report it. It didn\u2019t happen. We\u2019ve served our archives. We don\u2019t have any reports of any celebrating, therefore it didn\u2019t happen.&#8221; <\/line><\/p>\n<p>And yet they keep surfacing.  And of all people, Dan Rather. The problem is he made so much stuff up, we don\u2019t know.  I\u2019m just kidding.  Well, a little.  But the interview with Letterman continued.  Letterman said, &#8220;Have we made mistakes that we should not have made?&#8221;  Meaning, hey, Dan, do we kind of deserve this?  I mean, they\u2019re out there celebrating.  Dan, did we do something to tick \u2019em off?  Dan, did we screw up here?  Did we do things we shouldn\u2019t have done and that\u2019s why they did this?<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"585\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.liveleak.com\/ll_embed?f=8ea8316620d1\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>RATHER:  We ended the Gulf War &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>LETTERMAN: Right.<\/p>\n<p>RATHER &#8212; probably 24 hours too soon. We now know that.  Saddam Hussein, if he isn\u2019t connected to this, he\u2019s connected to any other things.  He\u2019s part of this &#8220;hate America&#8221; thing.  We have to wake up.  It\u2019s a new&#8230; It\u2019s a new place now, and we\u2019re headed to a new place, David.  You know, America the Beautiful.  Who can sing now with the same meaning we had before of one stanza that goes, &#8220;O beautiful, for patriots\u2019 dream that sees beyond the years. Thine alabaster cities gleam undimmed by human tears.&#8221;  We can never sing that song (choking up) again that way.  David, you\u2019ve been terrific to have me on tonight.  I\u2019m so sorry for this.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, there you have it.  You know what\u2019s noteworthy about this aside from Dan being overcome by his own emotion?  Saddam Hussein! &#8220;Saddam Hussein might not have had anything to do with this, but he\u2019s part of the &#8216;hate America\u2019 thing.&#8221;  So in the immediate aftermath 9\/11, even the leftists and the media was saying, &#8220;Yeah, there was a &#8216;hate America\u2019 crowd out there.&#8221; Look at how quickly they all turned!<\/p>\n<p>Look at all these leftists &#8212; and we chronicled it at the time in the immediate aftermath 9\/11. They wanted on board. They wanted to be part of a patriotic part of America. They wanted to be part of, &#8220;We love the country, too,&#8221; and it didn\u2019t take \u2019em three weeks before they started whining and moaning that Bush wasn\u2019t responding soon enough.  But here\u2019s Dan Rather, &#8220;Well, David, we know Saddam Hussein, if he isn\u2019t connected to this, he\u2019s connected to many other things. He\u2019s part of this &#8216;hate America\u2019 thing.  But now we can\u2019t sing America the Beautiful.  Never.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The hell we can\u2019t! What do you mean we can\u2019t sing it?  What is he talking about?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: There is yet more evidence. Here it is. Grab sound bites 22 and 23.
