What personal experiences did the hosts share about being in New York on 9/11?
All right, I'm Dave Rubin. This is the Rubin Report. And joining me for today's Friday roundtable extravaganza is New York Post columnist and host of the Carol Markowitz show, Carol Markowitz, and former NYPD officer and political commentator John Cardillo, and also, of course, two great Floridians and former New Yorkers. And obviously, today is the 25th anniversary of September 11th, and actually it turns out all All three of us were in New York City on that day, which is partially why I wanted to have you guys on. But first, because you are my real friends in real life, but we only do this we somehow only see each other in small boxes. How are you, crazy kids? Carol, how are ya?
Jealous of your August off, but other than that, you know, good.
Hanging in there. Johnny boy, what's
shaking? Feeling good. Took a couple of weeks off after primary campaign season and uh gonna get back into the swing next week. But it's been nice being a man of leisure for a couple
All right, well it's great to see you guys as always and and uh I thought you'd both would be perfect for this uh September eleventh anniversary. Obviously there's a lot of weirdness around it by the we're taping this on September tenth, actually, so Lord only knows what will be happening at the memorials when Mam Dami shows up and all of that stuff. But l let's punt the political controversy for a moment. And I thought we could start maybe Uh, I've told my audience many times about my story about being there and my father who uh saw the second plane hit from his office, and that I had friends that couldn't get back to houses in the boroughs that stayed with me for days and smelling the soot and smoke for weeks and the way the whole city felt like almost like a a zombie movie, a very apocalyptic zombie movie.
People people didn't honk horns. It was just very weird. Um I thought maybe you could each just for a minute. minute or so share just a little bit about what it where you were, what it was like to be in the city that day, and then we'll dive into some of the stuff. Uh Carol, take it away.
So I was working as a paralegal at the top of the Chrysler building, and I was also volunteering on my first ever political race. I was thinking, oh, maybe I want to get into politics. And I was working for Herman Badillo, he was running for the Republican nomination against Mike Bloomberg. And that was election day. So I was gonna be late for work. I went to go try to vote in my new neighborhood, couldn't figure out where to go vote. And then I tried to get a cab and no cab, every cab was like, Oh, too much traffic to take you to Midtown. And the last, you know, the third cab that I pulled over, I just got in and I was he was like, Listen, there's a lot of traffic. I'm like, I know, it's New York City.
on r at rush hour, I know there's traffic, just take me. He's like, you know, 'cause of the plane crashes. So I didn't even have the opportunity to think, is this a terrorist attack or isn't it? I found out after both planes had crashed and It was a really terrible time for New York, but it was also such a beautiful moment to see the city all come together and all try to help each other. And everybody wanted to live up to the example of those heroes who ran into those buildings. And you know, I wonder if something, God forbid, ever happened now, if we would react the same way, if New York would react the same way, if we would all come together and and and be one again, and I'm not so sure.
Yeah, unfortunately I think we know the answer to that. Uh John
You know, I I've told the story about my NYPD side of my life so many times, uh, but uh the personal feeling that morning was uh I had some friends in, so I wasn't working that day. Friends from Maine actually. And but we found out pretty quickly what was going on. I started to get calls from uh guys in in P D And uh got an assessment of the situation pretty quickly, knew how bad it really was. And then once the second plane hit, I think we all knew, especially people coming out of my community, that uh it this was a terror attack.
