island, the staten island ferry to the left of me and new york harbor, this is where people came to watch the 20 hours fall and smoke billowing from lower manhattan 20 years ago so it is a simple concept, japanese sculptor decided to create postcards from the families to those they lost in heaven. if you walk between the postcards you can see where the towers fell that fateful day that changed the world so i feel very honored to visit all of these memorials. there are over 1500 memorials not only in new york but across the world to commemorate 9/11, hard to believe it happened 20 years ago. the staten island ferry was shoveling thousands of people on that day from lower manhattan to staten island, we lost 275 people that day, a memorial for those we lost due to 9/11-related cancer. let's look at the forecast. we are expecting showers and thunderstorms in the area today, areas that were hard hit by haida. clear skies, we waste your front move through the region. tomorrow on the water, showers and thunderstorms, we will keep shelter but friday and saturday will be a beautiful forecast

my district of staten island southern brooklyn was extremely affected. we lost 70 people. -- so many people. firefighters, police officers, people and emergency services responding but also people who worked in the trade center and nearby. to this day, we are still losing people. we still lose first responders, firefighters, police officers who were at the site doing recovery for weeks and months who are now dying from cancer. we are still suffering 20 years later from that tragedy and that horrific terrorist attack. >> 911, it was the first day of classes at harvard. the night before, i went out with my girlfriend and we fell asleep. i got woken up by her pointing at the laptop saying i think we're going to war. she said that because i was marine corps infantry enlisted in the reserves at that point. i think i was the only reservist on campus at that time. i was also part of the unit based out of new hampshire were retrained to fight in cold weather. -- we were trained to fight in cold weather. i woke up after the first plane hit. i thought it was an ac

island ferry, this bright orange boat that goes between staten island and the tip of manhattan. there was real fear. we didn't know that the planes hitting the towers were not the beginning of everything. to your question, i think there are so many narratives that had been prescribed for us. there was a lot of chronicling of the horrors that took place, there has been the anger and the condemning and the, grief and shock and there is also resilience. i think the story of the maritime evacuation that delivered nearly half a million people to safety is an incredible example of the goodness of people that when you were given the opportunity to help, you have the tools come you have the skill set, you have the availability that people over and over again made the choice to put themselves in harm's way for the sake of fellow humans. that is very instructive and something we need to continue to remember. i think this anniversary gives us the opportunity to reshape the narratives that have been set for us and reclaimed the capacity for goodness that is within all of us. host: "saved at

manhattan island and staten island which we now think of as the boroughs of new york city and the surrounding areas but never penetrate deeper into the country. so it is a no man's land in between british occupied new york. because of this they are unwilling to restore full civil governments to the areas that they occupy. there is military government led by the commanding general of the army. and then the commandant itself responsible for keeping order on the streets. and a group of 1 billion former officials and andrew elliott. and with the chief of police or chief magistrate and he is responsible for the civilian apparatus and with those military offenders and in lodging for the poor and those who cannot afford it based on professional loyalty with adherence to the crown. for the traders and revolutionaries. and to adhere to them coming into the city. and street cleaners and clerks and rent collectors and so forth. so there is a weird civilian administration but it never has the full force of law as long as it is only backed by the military there is the idea it could end at any time. and th

host: staten island, new york, elizabeth, go ahead. caller: good morning. thank you for taking my call. i'm upset about the new law taking place in texas. i just think this is going to take women back so much. as the woman said before, it's not going to stop them from getting an abortion. but it will start women dying again from abortion like they did before roe v. wade. i just think that when men tell women what they are going to do with their bodies, it's really something. we don't tell men to go have the vasectomy's. the responsibility is all on the woman? now we will not have access to abortion. we are going to go get an illegal abortion and we are going to bleed out and we all know what happens when an abortion is unsanitary. these same people who don't want women to seek a safe abortion, they are not going to want to give them health care either. not only that, but let's say that we have the baby. these are the same people who want to reverse all health care for women. black and brown. even poor white people. i just don't get it. do republicans think

i visited locations on staten island as well. first, we have to be honest with ourselves of what is needed, intervention and prevention, a term i use often. those are the long-term things. everything from closing our pica plants, cycling, buses, diesel fuel, a green infrastructure. i like to say a real green bond job initiative to shore up our water fronts. we have to be honest with yourselves that this did not come from high tides. it came from rain. mother nature is making it clear that we can't take shortcuts. and i believe some of the intervention that we can do now as we invest in building our sewer systems, but also let's look at what other countries are doing. i'm in contact with the leaders over in the netherlands, and i want to see what they're doing as they have done a successful job of how do we live with water, not how do we keep water out. >> all right. i'll have to leave it there. thank you very much for being with us, eric adams, on this day. >>> coming up on "politicsnation," the 9/11 attacks were meant to divide

"the rachel maddow show" starts right now. good evening, rachel. >> good evening, chris, much appreciated. >>> when a criminal complaint is filed in a case like this, it's not unusual for an affidavit to ma up the bulk of the complaint. the officer writes up a first person narrative that's an explanation of why the charges were being brought. they explain their background and expertise in law enforcement. the person describes the investigation that led the charges to be filed against this defendant. if the defendant got interviewed before or after the arrest, the fbi agent or the officer will explain what the defendant said in that interview. it's narrative. it explains basically the nature of the evidence, what the in

island got really, really hit hard. many people home, right? watching tv, whatever it is. maybe sleeping even. as the storm came in. it came in so fast people were really not prepared for it. everyone heard it's going to rain. but you can really tell this city was not preparing for something so serious. and despite the warnings about flash floods and some of what was to come, you know, no one here really took it seriously. and so it's just taken a really tragic turn. and yeah, i mean, look, there's always the possibility they could find more as they get into these neighborhoods and communities and the water starts to recede. you know, and cars. that's the other thing. there are so many cars just stranded across the city. right now. and maybe that's where they'll find more bodies. hopefully not obviously. but it's just a very tragic turn here. and something this city is now going to have to deal with for quite some time. >> yeah. i guess the question is were these people alone, were they found together and all these deta
