Absolutely were.
And I asked an official from— But you're convinced he was there. Absolutely. One thousand percent. I'll take a polygraph. I told you I'll take a polygraph of what I know. I'll take a polygraph. I have ten silver bullet sources. that bin Laden was placed.
And when the Birdman was questioning the Iranian consulate office at the UN, because there is no Iranian embassy here, they were saying, why do you keep coming to us saying that bin Laden's in our country? We would never harbor bin Laden. But they would go back and ask the questions in Tehran, why does he keep saying this? Finally, Ahmadinejad came over to the UN to give a speech.
And the falcon, the bird man from America, got George Stephanopoulos to ask the question. And I know George Stephanopoulos from when he worked on the House floor for Dick Gephardt. That's the one you're talking about. When I first went to Congress, George Stephanopoulos. So Stephanopoulos asked Ahmadinejad the question kind of smirkingly.
Some of the wackos in this country are saying that you're harboring bin Laden. And obviously Ahmadinejad said, no way will we ever harbor bin Laden. He went back to Tehran. That's when they kicked him out of Tehran over to Pakistan. Now, Ahmadinejad I still have contacts to. Now, if necessary, I can bring Ahmadinejad on the show. He's afraid I'll be killed, but he'll verify what I just told you.
That's what's wrong with our country. The Iranian people have never been our enemy. That's what my book was about. When I wrote the book in 2005, I said Iran is not the enemy. You see the title of my book? I said the CIA is the problem. They're playing games. This book was endorsed by Jim Woolsey. Three-page letter. The former director of the CIA.
And the book was endorsed by Jack Caravelli, Al Gore's CIA advisor. One-page letter. They endorsed the book. The Iranians published my book in Farsi on their own. It became a bestseller because it says the people of Iran and the U.S. are not enemies. The people in these countries are never our enemies. It's the games we play, not the games. The games we allow people to play.
They're out for power and money. We've got to stop that.
Rest assured that he's in Tehran. I've never talked to you about this in advance, and you pulled that up right away. That's exactly what I say. And I know the people that got Stephanopoulos to ask that question. I would ask you one more thing to look at. Remember that airplane that somebody captured on the tarmac in Tehran that was unidentified, unloading pallets and pallets of American cash?
Do you remember that story? And no one ever explained it? I wonder why that occurred. Remember the pallets of cash and the estimates? We've got to stop allowing these games to be played. The people of Iran are not our enemy.
I can't tie that. All I can tell you is I'm aware of that.
There was more than one flight of planes into Tehran.
The correlation that I can tell you is that the U.S. was aware of and helped facilitate the placement of bin Laden in Iran. They retain plausible deniability. That's the fancy word they use. They maintain plausible deniability by using other countries. And I'll give you one more story about Iran. I did most of the work for the Congress with Russia. Steny Hoyer was my co-chair.
And as you know, the big deal right now is the Iran nuclear program. Well, let me tell you what happened in the 90s that I will verify and give you again a polygraph on. I was very upset when we had evidence that the Russian Ministry of Atomic Energy was helping Iran with the Boucher reactor. And I went to the Ministry of Atomic Energy, and I took two members of the House who are today's senators.
And I'll give you the photograph. You can get it off my website of me with Roger Wicker, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and Lindsey Graham, meeting with the minister of atomic energy in Moscow, Mikhailov. They call him the hawk. And I said to him, we want you to stop helping Iran with a nuclear program at Bushir because this is going to come back to hurt both of our countries.
This is in the 1990s. Mikhailov said, Congressman, we can't do anything about these deals that we're doing. I was very outraged, and I let the Russians know that. One of the most pro-American leaders in Russia who did the Nunn-Lugar program was the head of the nuclear institute in Russia called Korchatov Institute in Moscow. His name was Dr. Yevgeny Velikov. He died in December.
He was a very good partner of Sam Nunn and Dick Lugar. That's how I met him. Velikov became a good friend of mine. When Bush reached out and made that famous speech in 2001, they looked in Putin's eyes and saw his inner soul and realized this is a man he could trust. You can pull that speech up. That was Bush saying this.
I took that seriously, and I pressed Velikov to do something about the Iran program. Velikov came to my office, and I have a three-hour interview with Velikov in my oral history. It's never been released. In Moscow. And Velikov said, quote, Putin wants to offer to the U.S. a bilateral, 50-50, overseeing any fissile material going into Iran. We turned them down. We turned them down.
Under George Bush in the early 2000s. I'll take a polygraph.
I'd have to analyze it some more. I have some thoughts. But again, I try to be very careful because what they'll do is they'll pick apart what I say. And what I try to do, either I have backed up with my files, I have the largest archives in house history, or my oral history, which is 100 hours of videos done by the past president of the National Association of Oral Historians,
