On December 11, 2009, Sean Hannity hosted a town hall meeting on the decision to prosecute Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four additional 9/11 conspirators in federal court and to do so in lower Manhattan, a mere six blocks from Ground Zero. Attending were 9/11 family members, first responders, and post-attack rescue and recovery workers. The show also featured interviews of Ranking Member on the Senate Judiciary Committee Senator Jeff Sessions, former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former Attorney General Michael Mukasey, former Navy Secretary and 9/11 Commissioner John Lehman, former Governor and 9/11 Commission co-chair Tom Kean, Andrew McCarthy who led the prosecutions of those who bombed the World Trade Center in 1993 and conspirators in the Landmarks bombing plot, and decorated former CIA Agent Gary Burnsten who directed the hunt for Osama bin Laden during our 2001 invasion of Afghanistan.
While not all of the show is available on video, much of it is contained in these six five clips (the sixth clip was redundant):
