Speaker 1 (00:00):
We're joined for a few minutes this morning by retired
NYPD lieutenant commander and a nine to eleven first responder,
Joe cardin Ally. Joe, good morning, good morning, Good to
have you here. I have been consuming some of the
coverage here and a lot of it has to do
with not only the nearly three thousand Americans who were
(00:21):
killed on that day, but so many first responders who
have died since because of the substances that were in
the air as they were working in that scene. And
you can certainly relate to that.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
I'm sure, yes, I can. You know, on that day,
everybody responded to Ground zero, anybody who was able to.
By the time a second plaint hit, I was already
on the road heading into the city from Long Island,
and we jumped on the ferries anything that we could.
(00:55):
They had, the water taxis everything. It was like an
almada that they had going from various ports to the city.
They were expecting, you know, mass victims, you know that
were injured and everything to get to the hospitals, and
then it just never happened like that because everybody was
just killed inside the buildings, so they didn't have that.
(01:15):
But when you get off the boat. It was like
a scene out of Apocalypse now, you know. It was
like a grayish snow coming down. It was, you know,
just an eerie area sight to see. But people forget
from that point on. I spent the last three months
of my career up at the State Nayan landfill where
the recovery efforts were for the debris, and it was
(01:38):
a twenty four to seven operation. It turned into a
city within a city with all the agencies, Red Crosses there, FBI,
you know, Port Authority, MTD, by Department atf everybody was
up there and it was, like I said, twenty four
to seven efforts to do the recovery up there, and
that badly is where I'm already of the cancers are
(02:01):
coming from.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Have you had any health impacts from it?
Speaker 2 (02:05):
You know every year we all have, we all have something. Nothing.
I just went last week as a matter of fact,
for my screaming that I go for yearly. My partner
wasn't so lucky. Guy went to the academy with Jim Priori.
He uh, he wasn't so lucky. He passed away last
year from nine to eleven related illnesses and he was
retired at the time. When he went to ground zero.
(02:27):
He was already retired and he from an injury and
he went down there and he you know, he got
sick from from from being down there. So his name
will be added to a wall Smithtown, Long Island on Saturday.
And it's just as you say that, so many have
passed away from these illnesses since then, more than that
perish that day, and the number just keeps growing every
(02:51):
single year. It's more and more and more.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Yeah, you know, and and you think about it too.
You have you have people entering college and graduating in
college today and entering the military who have no memory
of it. They weren't born yet when this happened. Joe,
are you concerned about the legacy not being forgotten? But
is it being presented to people who have no memory
(03:15):
of it in our history books in our schools.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
No, it's not. It's not because when you have the
likes of Congressman Omar over there, who just turns around
and says some people did something to some you know,
it's ridiculous. You know, people try to forget about it.
And then another another said part is you know the
election in the city. You know that's going to be
a constant reminder of somebody who's going the opposite way
(03:40):
as well. I'm sure that that you know, they don't
profess anything forward as well. But the fact that you know,
pro Harbor when it happened was was is in the
history books. We all knew about it, Yeah, but we
didn't need the books. We heard it from our uncles,
our you know, our all these our grandfathers. We heard
about it, and we were reminded about it, about the
sacrifices that were made that day. But now this kind
(04:03):
of goes by the wayside. And as you stated, they're
old enough to drink, you know, they're old enough to
go out and drink, but they don't have the first
clue about it in some states because it was taken
out of the history books.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Yeah. Well, they also don't let you post anything online.
I don't know if you've noticed that. If you try
to post any of the shots of the planes and
the explosions and the death and people jumping off the buildings,
try to post that on your social media accounts, you
get blocked.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Yeah, sad state of affairs when when you can post
you know everything you want to know about trans transcending
into from a male into a female or a vice
and versa, and all that is out there for everybody
to learn how to do it. But you can post
something in memory of those who gave their lives, you know,
for this country, because that's exactly what it was. They
gave their lives for this country, every one of those
(04:52):
people that perished.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Then and then amen, Joe, do you think New Yorkers
are going to elect that communist bom donni?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
You know, those idiots in the city will definitely do it.
You know, they'll do it. They'll elect them because there
are a bunch of lemmings that will follow anybody off
a cliff. And then you know, it's just you know,
it's it's said, it's said, and at what point do
we uh, you know, people don't realize we need really
somebody like Rudy Giuliani back. These are the times that
call for somebody like him with action, and it's said,
(05:22):
when you have to limit your choices to this this
communist that's probably going to win because he's got everybody bamboozled,
all right, And then you have Andrew Cuomo and then uh,
you know, Adams, I mean, the choices aren't there, but
you know Curtis is the only choice, but you just
won't get the support for him, you know, unless everybody
drops out, and they and.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
They won't apparently they they're not interested there. I'm gonna win.
I can stay in this and I can win.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
You never mind, what do even if they do drop out,
they have to move out of the city because their
name will still be on the ballot.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Uh yeah, Well, God bless you, Joe. I appreciate you
coming on this morning and helping us remember and I'm
with you. The schools. This needs to be This needs
to be part of our culture in the same way
for our generation. Pearl Harbor was Joe Cardinelli, kfab's morning
