Episode Details

Twenty-five years after 9/11, retired Navy Commander Kirk Lippold recounts how he warned CIA leaders just minutes before the first plane hit the World Trade Center — predicting America wouldn’t truly understand the threat until a massive attack occurred. His chilling foresight was tragically validated as the Twin Towers fell. Lippold, who’d already faced terrorism firsthand commanding the USS Cole during a devastating al-Qaeda bombing in Yemen, now sees 9/11 as the moment the U.S. finally recognized it was at war with Osama bin Laden. He argues that earlier attacks were met with insufficient response and that failure to confront global terrorism will only lead to more bloodshed — urging the nation to act decisively everywhere terror thrives.
