Topic: Flight 93

Former Congresswoman Jane Harman claimed the U.S. Capitol Dome was the intended target of United Flight 93, contradicting earlier theories about the White House or a presidential compound. Discrepancies regarding the debris field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, are discussed alongside a past statement by Donald Rumsfeld suggesting the plane was shot down.

The "Flight 93 calculus" is a political metaphor originally used in 2016 to describe the urgency of voting for Donald Trump to save the country. The analogy suggests that voters must "charge the cockpit" of the government to prevent a national disaster, even if the outcome is uncertain. The term has resurfaced in 2020, with some anti-Trump groups attempting to repurpose the metaphor against the President.

A donation from Kathy and Bob Appleby in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, includes a small bottle of local maple syrup. This prompts a discussion about the differences between Pennsylvania and Vermont syrup, as well as the possibility of tapping birch trees for syrup. The donors also mention visiting the Flight 93 Memorial in Shanksville.

The hosts explore the possibility that the Metrojet wreckage was staged in the desert using scrap parts. They compare the visual evidence to United Flight 93 from September 11, noting historical "slips" by officials like Donald Rumsfeld and Bill Clinton regarding the nature of those events. The discussion suggests a lack of transparency from global elites regarding major aviation disasters.

During a discussion on national security, Senator John McCain suggests that the President has the authority to shoot down hijacked planes, referencing the aircraft that crashed in Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001. The hosts compare this to previous controversial statements by Donald Rumsfeld, questioning if McCain was implying that Flight 93 was actually shot down by the military.

Sandy Dahl, the widow of United Flight 93 captain Jason Dahl, passed away in her sleep at age 52. In a 2004 interview with Wolf Blitzer, she expressed disappointment with the FBI's official report on the 9/11 hijacking, claiming she heard evidence on the cockpit voice recorder that contradicted the government's narrative. Her sudden death is noted in the context of her ongoing efforts to reveal the "truth" about the flight's final moments.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney discussed his 9-11 shoot-down orders during a series of book-promotion interviews. The hosts argue that Cheney's timeline confirms the military shot down Flight 93 over Pennsylvania, a claim they say is supported by an earlier slip of the tongue by Donald Rumsfeld.

The hosts revisit reports from September 11, 2001, regarding a Boeing 767 that made an emergency landing in Cleveland due to a bomb threat. They argue this "missing" plane and the subsequent 8-mile debris field of Flight 93 were omitted from the 9-11 Commission Report to cover up the shoot-down.

An air traffic controller in Cleveland claimed to have heard a struggle and the voices of hijackers in the cockpit of Flight 93. The hosts question the validity of this account, noting that no such audio has ever been released to the public, and suggest the controller may be a government "asset."

Michelle Obama and Laura Bush delivered speeches in Shanksville to commemorate the passengers of Flight 93. The hosts analyze the "service" meme, noting that the Obama administration has officially designated September 11 as a National Day of Service and Remembrance. They question the logistics of cell phone calls made from the planes in 2001 and the lack of footage showing families waiting at LAX.

A video clip of Donald Rumsfeld is presented where he refers to the plane in Pennsylvania being "shot down." Truthers point to this as a Freudian slip that contradicts the official narrative of a passenger revolt on Flight 93. The discussion also highlights the lack of physical debris at the crash site and the suspicious recovery of a hijacker's passport.
