‘The Five:’ Honors 9/11 victims and survivors 25 years later…

. ♪ ♪. >> HELLO, EVERYONE I'M. EMILY COMPAGNO ALONG WITH. JESSICA TARLOV, JESSE WATTERS, DANA PERINO, AND GREG GUTFELD. IT'S 5:00 IN NEW YORK CITY AND. THIS IS "THE FIVE.". ♪ ♪. THE NATION MARKING 25 YEARS. SINCE RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORIST. ATTACKED OUR COUNTRY MURDERING.

NEARLY 3000 PEOPLE AT THE WORLD. TRADE CENTER, THE PENTAGON, AND. ABOARD FLIGHT 93 WHICH CRASHED. NEAR SHANKSVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA. THE TERRORISTS TRYING TO BREAK. AMERICA'S SPIRIT BUT INSTEAD. THEY REVEALED OUR STRENGTH. THIS MORNING POWERFUL CEREMONIES. ACROSS THE COUNTRY HONORING THE. LIVES WE LOST AND THE HEROES WHO. RAN TOWARD DANGER. FOR THE FIRST TIME AN ADDITIONAL. MOMENT OF SILENCE AT GROUND ZERO. REMEMBERING THOSE WHO LATER DIED.

FROM 911 RELATED ILLNESSES AND. INJURIES. PRESIDENT TRUMP MARKING THE. ANNIVERSARY AT THE PENTAGON, REMINDING AMERICANS THAT ON THAT. DAY, WE ALL BECAME NEW YORKERS. >> TODAY WE RENEW THE SACRED. OATH THAT WE FIRST SWORE. A QUARTER OF A CENTURY AGO. WE WERE ALL NEW YORKERS THAT. DAY, EVERY ONE OF US HERE WE. WERE ALL NEW YORKERS.

BUT WE WERE ALSO ALL AMERICANS. VERY WE WERE ALL FAMILY. WE WERE ALL PATRIOTS. WE CAN BE A NATION WHOSE HEROES. ARE NOT FANATICS FOR AN ABSTRACT. CAUSE BUT THE KIND WHO RACE INTO. BUILDINGS AND GIVE THEIR LIVES. ON A TUESDAY MORNING. FOR STRANGERS THEY'VE NEVER MET. AND WE CAN NEVER FORGET. >> Emily: FORMER. PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH IS. RECALLING THE MOMENT HE LEARNED. AMERICA WAS UNDER ATTACK WHILE.

READING TO A CLASSROOM OF. CHILDREN IN FLORIDA AND. REALIZING HIS PRESIDENCY AND THE. COUNTRY HAD CHANGED FOREVER. >> IT WAS PRETTY CLEAR TO ME. THAT WE IF WE WERE UNDER ATTACK. THAT MY JOB WAS TO DEFEND THE. CHILD THAT WAS READING TO ME AND. HER FAMILY AND HER COUNTRY. AND SO IT WAS A MOMENT OF. CLARITY. I BECAME A WARTIME PRESIDENT. THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND. THAT THIS WAS NOT A.

LAW ENFORCEMENT EVENT. THIS WAS A WAR. AND THAT THE JOB OF THE. PRESIDENT AND THE COUNTRY AND. ITS TEAM IS TO RALLY THE NATION. TO DO WHAT'S NECESSARY TO. PROTECT OUR PEOPLE. >> Emily: DANA, POWERFUL. MEMORIES FROM THE PRESIDENT THAT. YOU WERE THE WHITE HOUSE SPEAKER. FOR. >> Dana: YES. I DIDN'T REALIZE UNTIL I SAW IT. TODAY. I HAD HEARD ABOUT IT. I HADN'T SEEN. HE'S GONE BACK IN HIS. POST-PRESIDENCY, HE'S BECOME AN. INCREDIBLE PAINTER, HE'S PAINTED. THAT MOMENT WHERE ANDY CARD.

TELLS HIM THE SECOND PLANE HAS. ATTACKED THE BUILDING. TO ME HE CAPTURED THE VISION IN. HIS EYE. ALL THE THINGS HE JUST DESCRIBED. ARE CAPTURED IN THAT ONE. PAINTING. I'VE ALREADY HAD A CHANCE TO. TALK A LOT TODAY SO I'LL JUST. KEEP THIS VERY BRIEF. IN BETWEEN THE SHOWS I SAW. SOMETHING ABOUT TODD BEAMER'S. DAUGHTER. SHE WAS BORN FOUR MONTHS AFTER. HE WAS KILLED ON NINE OVER 11. HE WAS THE ONE WHO SAID LET'S.

ROLL. TODD BEAMER. THAT WAS THE PLANE THAT WENT. DOWN IN SHANKSVILLE. SHE'S PLAYING SOCCER AT A. COLLEGE. I DON'T REMEMBER WHICH ONE. SHE LOOKS JUST LIKE HIM. THERE WAS SOMEBODY THIS MORNING. WHO WAS READING THE NAMES AND. SHE SAID "I MISS MY BROTHER SO. MUCH BUT WHAT I REALLY AM ANGRY. ABOUT IS THAT HE MISSED SO MUCH. OF ALL OF OUR LIVES.". THEY KEEP HIM VERY CLOSE. JUST AS YOU WERE GOING THROUGH. THAT, EMILY, THE OTHER THING.

THAT CAME TO MIND IS I THINK. WHAT I RECALL. THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME IN MY. LIFE WHERE I FELT MAYBE A LITTLE. PARANOID. THAT'S NEVER LEFT ME. JUST LIKE A LITTLE BIT OF AN. AWARENESS THAT AT ANY MOMENT YOU. COULD GET ATTACKED SO YOU HAVE. TO BE VIGILANT AT ALL TIMES. THANKFULLY OUR COUNTRY HAS NOT. HAD A MASS CASUALTY ATTACK. PLENTY OF TERROR ATTACKS. THREATS ARE CHANGING CONSTANTLY. AND EVOLVING AND WE HAVE TO STAY.

A STEP AHEAD OF THEM. I THINK THE COUNTRY IS ABLE TO. DO THAT DESPITE ALL OF OUR. DIFFERENCES. THAT'S THE ONE THING THAT WE DO. WELL. >> Emily: JESSICA, THIS HITS. VERY CLOSE TO HOME FOR YOU. >> Jessica: IT DOES CARRY THIS. MORNING. YOU KNOW IT'S SUNNY NOW BUT IT. WAS VERY CLOUDY THIS MORNING. I FELT LIKE THAT WAS ALMOST HOW. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR HOW. SOMBER 25 YEARS IS. THERE HAVE BEEN BRIGHT SHINING. 911s AND TODAY IT FELT LIKE IT.

ACTUALLY MATCHED HOW SERIOUS AND. TRAGIC THE WHOLE THING IS. MY OLDER DAUGHTER JUST STARTED. KINDERGARTEN IN THE. NEIGHBORHOOD. THEY DO A MOMENT OF SILENCE AND. PARENTS CAN COME. WATCHING KIDS AS YOUNG AS FOUR. AND A HALF AND FIVE NOT KNOWING. WHY THEY'RE DOING THIS AND. THINKING ABOUT HOW YOU EXPLAIN. SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO THEM AS. THEY GET OLDER AND SHE KNOWS. THAT MY DAD IS DEAD. SHE DOESN'T KNOW THAT IT'S.

BECAUSE OF 911. AND THE CANCER THAT HE GOT FROM. IT. BUT FIGURING OUT HOW YOU'LL MAKE. THAT PART OF HER LIFE TOO AND. KEEP TELLING THESE STORIES. IT'S SO IMPORTANT. IT REALLY CEMENTS THE FULL 911. UNITY AND IT'S ALSO TRAGIC. THINKING HOW MANY PEOPLE TO COME. ARE GOING TO BE JOINING ACTUALLY. BECAUSE THIS WILL CARRY ON TO. FURTHER GENERATIONS AND THE NEWS.

THIS WEEK OF THE 170,000. DOCUMENTS THAT MAYOR MAMDANI. RELEASED, THE FILES ABOUT THE. AIR QUALITY. WHAT CITY OFFICIALS KNEW AND. WHEN I THINK IS REALLY. IMPORTANT. TEXTING WITH SOME OF MY FRIENDS. WHO ALSO COME ON MY TWO. BEST FRIENDS EACH LOST A PARENT. TO A 911 CANCER. EVERYONE GOING ON THE WEBSITE TO. REGISTER BECAUSE YOU WANT TO. FIND OUT HOW IT'S GOING TO. AFFECT THE NEXT GENERATION.

WE WERE SENIORS IN HIGH SCHOOL. IT'S AN ONGOING TRAGEDY. AND IT DOES ALSO FEEL LIKE THIS. VERY PROUD AMERICAN MOMENT. I'M NOT BEING MY MOST COHERENT. BUT IN A WAY I KIND OF YEARN FOR. THIS TYPE OF DAY WHEN EVERYBODY. SHARES COMMON CAUSE AND YOU HEAR. ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS AND.

YOU'RE A FIREFIGHTER IN IOWA AND. YOU JUST GET ON THE TRUCK AND. YOU COME. ANYWAY. IT'S A TOUGH DAY. >> Emily: THIS MORNING I WENT. TO MASS AT SAINT PATRICK'S. AT LEAST THAT ONE PERHAPS MORE. THROUGHOUT THE DAY WAS A SPECIAL. MASS REMEMBERING 911 HEROES. THOSE WHO SACRIFICED THEIR LIVES. RUNNING TOWARD DANGER. IT WAS FILLED WITH FDNY AND NYPD. AND THE BAGPIPES WERE OUTSIDE. AND IT WAS ALSO FILLED, CROWDS.

OUTSIDE WITH TOURISTS, PEOPLE. FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD YOU. COULD TELL WHO CAME TO PAY THEIR. RESPECTS AND TO HONOR THIS DAY. AND A LOSS THAT AMERICANS. CONTINUE TO HAVE. >> Jesse: I LOVE HEARING THE. BAGPIPES. I YEARN FOR THE SAME THING, JESSICA. I LOVE THE FEELING OF EVERYBODY. UNIFIED. I'M ALWAYS STRUCK BY THE SILENCE. OF THIS DAY, THIS ANNIVERSARY. ALWAYS FEELS SO QUIET. IN A CITY THAT'S SO LOUD. CONSTANTLY HEAR THE HONKING,

YELLING, THE CHATTER. YOU COULD COME INTO THIS CITY ON. THIS ANNIVERSARY AND IF YOU ARE. A NEW YORKER OR YOU WERE HERE. THAT DAY, YOU'LL KNOW THAT TODAY. WAS THE ANNIVERSARY OF 9/11. BECAUSE IT FEELS SO DIFFERENT. IT'S DEADLY SERIOUS. IT'S VERY SOMBER. THE CITY IS NOT A RELIGIOUS CITY. BUT YOU SEE TODAY TONS OF. PRIESTS. IT'S NOT A, YOU KNOW, VERY.

PATRIOTIC CITY. BUT YOU SEE SO MANY FLAGS. IT'S A CITY THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE. TAKE THE POLICE FOR GRANTED BUT. NOT TODAY. NOT TODAY. PEOPLE GO UP TO THEM COME A. FIREFIGHTERS COME UP AND SHAKE. THEIR HAND COME WITH A SALUTE. THEM. THAT'S A GREAT THING AND WE LOVE. SEEING THE POLITICIANS STANDING. SIDE BY SIDE FROM DIFFERENT. PARTIES. WE KIND OF CHERISH THAT. WE NEED THAT AS A COUNTRY AND. THIS IS A TIME TO DO THAT. 25 YEARS AGO TODAY WE ALL KNEW. SOMEONE WHO DIED. IT WAS EVERYWHERE.

CANTOR FITZGERALD. MILLIONAIRES. CUSTODIANS. SECRETARIES. GUYS FRESH OUT OF COLLEGE. WIPED OUT. AND THEN POLICE AND FIREFIGHTERS. RAN IN TO SAVE THEIR LIVES AND. THEN LOST THEIR LIVES. IF YOU LIVE IN THE TRI STATE. AREA, YOU WILL KNOW SOSOMEBODY O. DIED THAT DAY. SO THIS GENERATION HAS A VERY. SEARING MEMORY THAT MAKES US. RESOLUTE TO ALWAYS PROTECT THIS.

COUNTRY AGAINST ISLAMIC. TERRORISTS. AND WE FEEL A DUTY TO GO ON. OFFENSE AGAINST ISLAMIC. TERRORISM BECAUSE WE'VE SEEN. WHAT IT'S CAPABLE OF. AND THAT WILL NEVER CHANGE. GENERATIONS FROM NOW IT WILL BUT. UNTIL THIS GENERATION PASSES, WE. KNOW THAT THAT RELIGIOUS HATRED. HAS STILL NOT BEEN EXTINGUISHED. AND UNTIL IT IS, MAYBE IT WILL. NEVER BE. WE'RE GOING TO FIGHT.

>> Emily: GREG, THE PRESIDENT. SAYING ON THAT DAY ESPECIALLY WE. WERE ALL NEW YORKERS. I'M A TINY EXAMPLE OF THAT. I WATCHED FROM THE OTHER CORNER. OF THE UNITED STATES, FROM. SEATTLE. I WATCHED LIVE AS THE SECOND. TOWER FELL WITH MY ROOMMATES AND. LEARNED THAT SINCE THEN, EVERY. NAVAL WARSHIP THAT WAS BUILT. SINCE 911 HAS INCLUDED A. COMPONENT OF ONE OF THE WORLD. TRADE CENTER TOWERS AND IT. REPRESENTS TO ME THAT CONCEPT.

THAT EVERY AMERICAN WAS HIT THAT. DAY, EVERY AMERICAN LOST A. BROTHER OR A SISTER ON THAT DAY. CONCEPTUALLY. AND WE ALL ARE UNITED AND REMAIN. UNITED IN OUR PRIDE IN OUR. COUNTRY MOVING FORWARD. >> Greg: I WORRY ABOUT THAT. UNITY. WE HAVE OVER A HUNDRED MILLION. PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN BORN SINCE. NINE OVER 11. YOU ADD ANOTHER 30 BILLION THAT. HAVE MOVED HERE AND ANOTHER. 20 MILLION WHO ARE HERE. ILLEGALLY THAT'S 150 MILLION. ALMOST HALF THE COUNTRY. AND DO YOU THINK THEY ALL FULLY.

GRASP THE IMPORT OF THIS EVENT? OR HAVE THEY BEEN INDOCTRINATED. BY ACADEMICS OR RELIGIOUS. IDEOLOGIES OR DISTRACTED BY. TECHNOLOGY OR ENTERTAINMENT? DO THEY BELIEVE LIKE HOLLYWOOD. WOULD SUGGEST THAT THE REAL. DANGER IS WHITE PRIVILEGE? WE HAVE SO MANY DISTRACTIONS AND. SO MANY NEW EVILS THAT HAVE BEEN. CREATED THAT ARE HYPOTHETICAL. I BRING THIS UP BECAUSE I ALWAYS. THINK ABOUT WHEN I WAS A KID, 1970 LEARNING ABOUT PEARL. HARBOR. IT WAS 29 YEARS PRIOR.

AND YET IT WAS SO BLACK AND. WHITE. WHAT WAS PEARL HARBOR? THE JAPANESE ATTACKED US AND WE. WENT TO WAR. IT WAS BLACK AND WHITE. IT'S SO DIFFERENT NOW BECAUSE. BACK THEN, WE DIDN'T HAVE AN. ACADEMIC MEDIA COMPLEX THAT. COULD REVERSE EVERY NARRATIVE. COME UP PRIORITIZING. JAPAN-PHOBIA OVER AMERICAN. SECURITY. WE DIDN'T HAVE GRADE SCHOOL. TEACHERS PUSHING PRONOUNS AND. CONDEMNING AMERICAN IMPERIALISM.

IN SEVENTH GRADE. THERE IS NO BLACK AND WHITE. TODAY UNLESS YOU ARE TALKING. ABOUT RACE. WE DON'T -- I. DOUBT WE TEACH. STUDENTS ABOUT JIHAD. BUT I'M SURE THEY KNOW THE A TO. Z ON ISLAMOPHOBIA. ISLAMOPHOBIA IS THE NATURAL. RESPONSE TO JIHADISM WHICH. ISLAMISTS CHAMPION. THEY'VE GOT NO PROBLEM WITH YOU. BEING SCARED OF THEM. IT'S SO FUNNY BECAUSE WE ALWAYS. TELL PEOPLE TO EMBRACE THEIR. FEELINGS. BUT WE TELL KIDS TO DENY THEIR.

FEELINGS, TO SWALLOW THEIR. FEELINGS AND BE ON GUARD AGAINST. NOT THE TERROR BUT YOUR OWN FEAR. ABOUT THE TERROR AND THE. TERRORISTS AND THE PEOPLE THAT. IT'S KIND OF YOUR PROBLEM. SO ISLAMISM HAS BEEN MARRIED TO. IDENTITY POLITICS AND IT'S NOW A. PROTECTED CLASS. IF YOU DARE QUESTION KLEIN, ANY. KIND OF LEGAGAL RAMIFICATIONS, TOLERANCE OR OPEN MISOGYNY. OF SOMEBODY WHO IS IN POWER AND.

IS MUSLIM OR WHATEVER, YOU ARE. THE ONE COMMITTING THE CRIME. ISLAMISTS CAN BRAND YOU A RACIST. WHILE ENJOYING THE LIFE OF A. BRUTAL INTOLERANT CONQUEROR. AND I THINK -- I. OBVIOUSLY AM A. VERY CYNICAL PERSON ON THIS. I WORRY ABOUT THAT. I ENJOY THE UNITY EVERY YEAR. BUT I SEE WHAT'S GOING ON. DAY-TO-DAY AND IT DOESN'T. HEARTEN ME.

BUT I LOVE WHAT YOU SAID, JESSICA, ABOUT YOUR CHILD. THAT MAKES ME FEEL GOOD THAT. THAT'S BEING DONE AND THAT GIVES. ME HOPE. I WORRY ABOUT WHERE I'M GOING TO. SEND MY KID. IT'S LIKE COME I DON'T WANT TO. GIVE MY KID AWAY TO SOMEBODY. WHO'S GOING TO BE TOLD THIS. COUNTRY DESERVED 911. I DON'T WANT MY KID HEARING. THAT. GOD FORBID I'M NOT AROUND AT THE. TIME. I THINK ABOUT THAT. WHAT ARE WE TEACHING THEM ABOUT. THIS? I UNDERSTAND PEARL HARBOR. DO KIDS UNDERSTAND THIS?

>> Jessica: OUR KIDS CAN GO TO. SCHOOL TOGETHER. >> Greg: THA.
