Episode Summary
An Inadequate Investigation and Early Warnings Ignored
Weldon raises serious concerns about the U.S. government’s apparent lack of commitment to a thorough investigation into 9/11, noting that only $15 million was spent on the 9/11 Commission—pale in comparison to investigations of far lesser incidents. He argues that the Commission deliberately omitted critical data, including findings from the Gilmore Commission (which predated 9/11 and offered prescient warnings) and the Able Danger project—a top-secret data-mining effort that allegedly identified key terrorists, including Mohammed Atta, over a year before the attacks.
Able Danger: The Program That Could Have Stopped 9/11
Weldon claims that Able Danger was the first instance in which U.S. Special Operations Command initiated a proactive global mapping of al-Qaeda’s network using open-source data. He describes it as a groundbreaking fusion of technology and human intelligence that could have disrupted the 9/11 plot. However, just as its efficacy became clear, the program was abruptly shut down. Weldon believes this was intentional and politically motivated, an action taken to avoid exposing pre-9/11 intelligence failures by both the Clinton and Bush administrations.
CIA Involvement, Silenced Whistleblowers, and Suspicious Deaths
Perhaps the most startling assertion is that two of the 9/11 hijackers were allegedly on the CIA payroll. Weldon stops short of directly accusing individuals but implies institutional corruption. He recounts how two of his staffers with CIA ties were either threatened or died under suspicious circumstances. One staffer, John Quirk, was reportedly warned by a retired CIA official not to support Weldon’s inquiries.
Further, Weldon implicates figures like former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper in efforts to suppress intelligence and marginalize him politically. He claims their opposition prevented him from chairing the House Intelligence Committee and even led to a DOJ raid on his daughter’s home weeks before an election.
Internal Sabotage and Deleted Evidence
A recurring theme is the deliberate deletion of key data. Weldon discusses how, following high-level visits to assess Able Danger, classified profiles on topics such as Chinese technology theft were wiped. He links this to wider efforts to erase trails and prevent public scrutiny. Another bombshell involves Sandy Berger, National Security Advisor under President Clinton, who Weldon says physically removed five sensitive documents from the National Archives—potentially related to Able Danger.
Global Intrigue and Missed Opportunities
The interview touches on global political dynamics, including missed chances to eliminate Osama bin Laden. Weldon recounts an episode where an armed Predator drone was ready to strike, but the mission was aborted upon realizing a Saudi royal was present with Bin Laden. He also discusses tracking Bin Laden’s movements post-9/11, down to specific towns in Baluchistan, based on raw data provided to him.
Claims of Exotic Weaponry and Speculative Theories
While Weldon remains grounded in institutional critiques, the broader conversation also touches on fringe theories—such as directed energy weapons (DEWs) possibly being used on 9/11. While not directly endorsed by Weldon, these are discussed by the host and others in the room as part of broader speculation on anomalies such as “toasted cars” and lack of seismic impact data at Ground Zero.
A Plea to Reopen the Case
Weldon and the hosts agree that only a leader with significant political will—possibly Donald Trump—could reopen the 9/11 case and declassify suppressed evidence. They note Trump’s connections in New York and willingness to challenge establishment norms as reasons he might revisit the issue.
Conclusion: Truth, Transparency, and the Cost of Silence
Curt Weldon’s account is not just a reflection of personal loss or political betrayal—it is a plea to the American people to demand transparency and accountability. Whether one accepts all his claims or not, his passion for national security, justice for the victims, and fearlessness in confronting powerful institutions marks this interview as a critical moment in the ongoing debate about what really happened on September 11, 2001.
