Kristen Brightweiser.
She is a 9/11 widow and she is an advocate on behalf of all 9/11 families.
All the ramifications of 9/11, which result not just of a big event for the country, but for you personally, you want to watch your husband murdered on live television.
You know, if this is too far, please let me know.
But I'm curious, you know, when you're watching the Iran war happen, do you worry about more blowback?
You know, here in the United States,
>> evidence shows that when you go overseas and you start preemptive wars, uh, it makes the country less safe.
And in fact, what scares me and upsets me and saddens me is that I know that innocent civilian widow and children will suffer
the way the 9/11 widows and kids suffered because there will be blowback for what we are doing today overseas.
And so I take umbrage when someone like Senator Chuck Schumer, his staff tells me uh that widows and children can't be
treated fairly and a Department of Justice government fund that is supposed to treat all American victims of state sponsored terrorism fairly.
We can't treat you fairly, Kristen, because there's just too many of you.
We don't have the money.
And I look at the budget that we have spent on the war in Iran.
And I look at the budget that has given foreign aid to Israel.
And the reason my husband was murdered, according to the man who murdered him, bin Laden, was because of our support of Israel.
And all I'm saying is, could you take some of that foreign aid that you're using in the war in Iran and the foreign aid to Israel and use it to compensate
thoroughly and fully the 3,000 estates
of those senselessly, needlessly murdered 24 and a half years ago.
And what I want to say, the problem with that is that it doesn't set a deterrent factor when you get away with 3,000 people being murdered in broad daylight in lower Manhattan and no one is held accountable and no one has to literally pay the price for that.
And in fact, they take that and they manipulate it and use it for 24 years to go to war.
What is the message that is sent to those in government?
It's that you can do whatever you want to do.
And what I care about is making sure that there is a deterrent factor.
If the government had held George Tennant accountable for his failures on 911, we would not have had the WMD lies to take us to Iraq.
And when our government and Congress refuse to hold anyone accountable and they allow certain individuals to act with impunity, innocent people like my husband get murdered.
And we've got members of Congress that literally do nothing.
I mean, President Trump went to war in Iran and Congress went on break.
That is not acceptable.
I think every single member of Congress, with the exception of a handful, should be run out of town.
You are making us less safe and you are alienating us from our allies overseas.
And someone, some adult needs to be in the room and start assessing and asking these questions and demanding answers.
And the first way to do that is to hold everyone accountable
who is responsible for the wreckage of the last 24 years.
