It's very wide ring and just very yeah. I've only seen a few
Speaker 9:clips of him. Yeah. I I saw that, but I don't know how you know, they interrupted all the channels yesterday Mhmm. For breaking news, and it lasted over an hour on all the networks. Mhmm.
Speaker 9:Every one of them, ABC, CBS, and Fox, NBC, you know, all the network champs. I could not believe it. I'm like you know? And now Trump has ordered the flag to be flown at half stamp
Speaker 7:with this
Speaker 9:fellow, but he didn't say a doggone word about 09:11.
Speaker 2:Oh, wow.
Speaker 9:And he knew it was gonna overlap.
Speaker 2:Mhmm.
Speaker 9:But, you know, I don't know. I'll never forget the bravery I witnessed that day. Now that went down at 05:45AM Alaska time, and I was up that but the bravery I saw for the men and women of the fire squadron. And then the police, both NYPD and the metro police, and the even the pilot police, you know, the river for the subways and stuff, they were they all went into those buildings. People were racing out of there and being carried out of there.
Speaker 9:They were going out, and those young men and women and some of them not too young at all
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 9:Were going in just to do what they could. And, you know, three hundred and forty three of those lives didn't come out. And that's a number that were lived with me for infancy in my work. Three forty three. And whenever I see a fire truck, I'll throw three fingers up, then four fingers, then three fingers.
Speaker 9:And they get it. They know who's scratching the b 43 at them. But, Justin
Speaker 7:Yeah.
Speaker 9:I hope we never have to witness it again. Yes. And you'll have a good day of remembrance, you know, and just batten down the hatches because that war in The Middle East is spreading, and it's kinda spooky. But I appreciate you showing your program, honey.
Speaker 2:I appreciate you calling in. I always look forward to when you call in during the program and you and I have these chats.
Speaker 9:Yeah. I'm sorry. Sometimes I'm the radio.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's Oh, no. You're fine.
Speaker 9:I'm off the I'm getting off the air so I don't get the wrath of yeah. Him. Okay, Justin. You have a pleasant day.
Speaker 2:You as well.
Speaker 9:Okay, bye.
Speaker 2:All right, bye bye. Yes, I'm glad that she called and had a little nineeleven memorial words to say and yeah, three forty three. And yeah, I always, I'm really going to show my age right now, but I can't even remember what I was doing, where I was at in nineeleven. So that kind of shows my age a little bit, but yes, I I will never forget. And we do have another call.
Speaker 2:Hi. Welcome to Problem Corner. You're live and on the air.
Speaker 7:Hi. This is Mel.
Speaker 2:Hey, Mel. How's it going?
Speaker 7:Pretty good. I gotta shut one radio off here. Okay. 09:11, I was up in the Anchorage Medical Center
Speaker 9:Mhmm. For
Speaker 7:a procedure, and I was in a room doing my hygiene. And my roommate said, Mel, get out here. I said, I'm almost done. He says, get out here now. And I I went out, and the TV was on.
Speaker 7:And it it was very horrific. And I being very graphic when the planes hit the towers and rather than burn alive, and this is reality, they we had jumpers.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 7:It was hard to watch. You know? And I I believe in just telling it like it is. But as I went through the appointments, Everybody was in a state of shock.
Speaker 2:Yeah. I can imagine.
Speaker 7:And one guy one medical person said, gee. I don't know, Mel. We you need a follow-up, but we're all booked up. I and I looked at him and said, there's no planes flying today. He said, oh oh, okay.
Speaker 7:So it's it's kinda like everybody just being shook up, and we had a a big memorial out on the lawn. It was sort of a nice day like it was in New York. Mhmm. And we we we it it went on for half an hour. Oh, wow.
Speaker 7:This is pretty heavy. And I I knew where I was, and we sorta all come together. And, real quick about, upcoming politician, it don't matter the party.
Speaker 5:Charles Kirk,
Speaker 7:they said he was an upcoming, highly intelligent, family with kids, and it puts a face on it. And we need to come together again and quit squabbling. And the the president spoke like he should have. Mhmm. Now we all need to come together because this person is fell loose.
Speaker 7:That's all I got today. I I don't wanna take up too much of your time. Thank you.
Speaker 2:I appreciate calling in, especially telling your story where you're at during the 09:11 news. And that's pretty wild to think about that you were in a that you were at a hospital when that happened. And so I'm sure all the hospital staff probably felt just the same for New York staff. I can't imagine what the hospitals were like in New York during that time.
Speaker 7:Yes.
Speaker 2:But Mel, I do appreciate and calling sharing your words. And I hope you have a great rest of your day, and this is a day in remembrance for those folks.
Speaker 7:For sure. Like I said, I I'm very patriotic. Passionate, and we we just need to think now about where we're going, and we have to figure out how to come together as a people. It it stole the people's government. Thank you for your time.
Speaker 2:Of course, Mel. I appreciate you calling in. It's always good to hear from Mel. He's always got some words to share with us, and I like that he shared a story where he was at when 09:11 went down. So I greatly appreciate him.
Speaker 2:Yes, it's crazy to think about, like with Charlie Kirk yesterday, he was not much older than me. He was born in 'ninety three. So he was in his like 31. Yeah, so it's crazy to think that a young man, young family man, and just a political activist lost his life due to hate towards him. So yeah, I hope the best for his family and all that.
Speaker 2:And I hope folks that were in attendance or seeing that are safe as well. It looks like it's time to take a quick commercial break before we wrap up the program. We'll be back with more Problem Corner here on

Speaker 21:It's been a morning. We you were out there with us this morning at the Riverside Rotary Park event. It was it was great.
Speaker 2:It was a great event. I'm kinda bummed that now the weather's kinda lighting up after the fact.
Speaker 21:But I know. When I left the house this morning, it was pouring rain. I'm like, please, God, let let it ease up just a bit. And it did. And the flag came out and it kind of just drizzled a little bit.
Speaker 21:It was better than a hardcore rain.
Speaker 2:That's true.
Speaker 21:And today, this whole week, man, it's been a testing week and it's only Thursday.
Speaker 2:I know. We still have a weekend left and hopefully the weather permits or holds throughout the weekend.

Speaker 2:It is.
Speaker 21:For for not just 09:11, but also, like you mentioned, for Charlie Kirk. Regardless of of your politics, the fact that a political assassination can happen in this day and age Right. In America, I mean, it makes me personally being being a man of faith, I wanna get down on our knees and pray for better times. Mhmm. And I really hope that an object lesson can come from this, that people you're never gonna solve anything by violence.
Speaker 21:No. Whether it's taking down the Twin Towers or taking down a political pundit. Right. So we all need to remember and never forget. I mean, I know you're young.
Speaker 21:You were you're 27, I believe. Yes. And so you were just a tyke I was. On 09/11. I I definitely remember that day.
Speaker 21:And I guess with the couple minutes we have left, maybe somebody can call in. But I was in San Francisco that day, and, the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania was headed to San Francisco. Wow. And, I'll never forget that, of all places, San Francisco was locked down. There was military everywhere.
Speaker 21:You couldn't catch a city bus. It was just mayhem. And, you know, I'll never forget. And I hope the folks that were around then never forget that day. And next year is gonna be a quarter century.
Speaker 2:That's
Speaker 21:crazy. So next year is gonna be a big one, but I hope people never forget.
Speaker 2:Yeah. We can never forget. And it looks like we do have a call, so let's get on one. Hi. Welcome to Problem Corner.
Speaker 2:You're live and on the air.

Speaker 2:Oh, wow.
Speaker 21:I was working for Ralph Nader's post presidential political group and working for the Green Party.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 21:If you can believe that.
Speaker 10:It's crazy.
Speaker 21:And, yeah, it it my my roommate came out of the came came to the bathroom door, knocked on the bathroom door and said, get out of the shower.
Speaker 4:We're at war.
Speaker 21:I'm like, what?
Speaker 2:Oh, gosh.
Speaker 21:And we got out of the shower, and by that time, the the second plane had hit. Wow. And then it was like, okay, that's not an accident.
Speaker 2:No. No. Yeah. I'm glad I wasn't cognitively aware yet at that point in my life, but I kind of wish I was more like I could look back and then remember
Speaker 21:was what
Speaker 1:was.
Speaker 21:Was It's traumatic for all of I happen to have a few good friends that were from New York City that were actually on the bridge. Have you ever seen that that that enigmatic picture of tens of thousands of people crossing the bridge as the after the buildings had fallen? One of my friends was in that photo on that Bridge during that mass exodus from Manhattan Lower Manhattan. Holy cow. And so I can I couldn't even begin to understand the trauma of that day for them, much less the trauma for the rest of us?
Speaker 21:It doesn't match up.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Especially for all New Yorkers. Like everyone was like, are we safe? Or what's happening?
Speaker 21:Even if you weren't in New York, if you were from New York, it meant something to you.
Speaker 2:It didn't. So yeah, I was trying to get some folks that I know we got a lot of transplants here in Juneau, so I'm sure there's got to be someone here living in Juneau now that was either living in New York City or New York when that went down.
Speaker 21:And and much kudos yesterday to to Grace putting together that story of that young lady out of the Kenai Peninsula who was actually at Utah Valley University yesterday when Charlie Kirk was killed.
Speaker 3:Oh,
