Release Date: May 14, 2025

Introduction

In Episode 586 of the PBD Podcast, host Patrick Bet-David delves into controversial discussions surrounding the events of September 11, 2001. Titled "The 9/11 Commission Was A FRAUD," the episode features prominent guests Curt Weldon, a former Congressman with extensive experience in intelligence matters, and retired Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer, a Defense Intelligence Agency officer involved with the Able Danger project.

Main Discussion Points

Circumstantial Claims About 9/11 Investigations

Patrick Bet-David opens the conversation by questioning the relatively low financial investment in investigating the 9/11 attacks compared to other significant national incidents. He states:

“Why do we only spend $15 million to investigate that?” [00:28]

Curt Weldon asserts that the investigations into 9/11 were part of a larger cover-up orchestrated by the "deep state." He claims:

“The deep state was heavily involved in the 911 cover up... The media played right into the deep state.” [06:33]

Able Danger Project Insights

Weldon and co-guests discuss the Able Danger project, an intelligence initiative purported to have identified some of the 9/11 hijackers before the attacks occurred. Tony Schaefer elaborates on his role and the subsequent suppression of findings:

“When I came back from Afghanistan... I disclosed my role in the Able Danger operation, I was immediately suspended by Defense Intelligence...” [27:47]

Kurt Weldon emphasizes the project's significance and the alleged obstruction by intelligence agencies:

“We were an operational unit designed to go do something... The Able Danger project is stood down.” [65:42]

Allegations of CIA Involvement

A contentious point raised by the guests is the claim that two of the 9/11 terrorists were on the CIA’s payroll at the time of the attacks. Kurt Weldon states:

“Two of the terrorists on 911 were on the payroll of the CIA at the time.” [56:34]

This claim challenges the official narratives and suggests a deeper level of governmental complicity.

Suppression of Evidence and Witnesses

The discussion moves to the alleged destruction of evidence and the silencing of key witnesses. Eric, another guest, recounts orders to destroy two and a half terabytes of data related to the Able Danger project:

“We ended up deleting all of it. That's about the worst day you could ever spend in the military...” [42:09]

Weldon calls for a new presidential commission to thoroughly investigate these claims, free from political influence.

Connections to Prominent Figures and Further Conspiracies

The guests weave connections between high-profile individuals, suggesting ulterior motives behind political decisions:

“Dick Cheney... why they used to support Able Danger but then moved against it...” [73:31]

They also touch upon the involvement of other nations, particularly Iran, in harboring key figures linked to the attacks, further complicating the narrative and suggesting international dimensions to the conspiracy.

Notable Quotes

• Patrick Bet-David: “When a crisis happens, we sit there and we say, it's either this, it's either this...” [77:04]

• Curt Weldon: “This madness has got to stop in this country. It's out of control.” [26:13]

• Tony Schaefer: “I'm happy to try to give you answers that will help you. Look forward to talking to you.” [136:57]

Conclusions and Call to Action

The episode concludes with the guests urging listeners to support the formation of a new, independent presidential commission to investigate the 9/11 attacks comprehensively. They emphasize the need to uncover hidden truths and hold accountable those they believe were responsible for orchestrating or covering up the events.

“All of these people... making big money, and they're making it off the backs of dead soldiers and dead firefighters. I wear this jacket because Ray Downey... I will not stop until those 343 firefighters that were vaporized are vindicated...” [25:03]

Patrick Bet-David reinforces the necessity of seeking the truth, regardless of potential risks, advocating for transparency and accountability in national security matters.
