I watch this every year. The full broadcast of 9/11 (this is part one). An awful day in world history. In my opinion, Aaron Brown's reporting is unmatched. And it's a raw, unfiltered view of how stories break and develop over seconds, minutes, and hours.

Charlie Kirk spent his lifeâs work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and weâre now not supposed to mention that because itâs not polite.
