"It's not a question of belief, it's a question of whether I have any other information… Look, I gotta tell ya Lenny, I'm just sort of stuck with this one. I'm an investigative reporter, if I haven't investigated it, and I report on it, then I'm just giving you my goofball opinion, I'm not an engineer, I'm not a physicist, I had an office in the World Trade Center, but that's all I can tell ya. I can tell you what I've found, which is they couldn't… look… you know, to me it looks like planes hit the building, and my information doesn't comport with the idea that like, a controlled demolition.
We have looked at that, and I'm sorry if people are upset about this, but we spent a long time, very, very seriously looking at that, and… that just didn't happen…
…No sentient human is gonna believe the Bush Administration's stories about the attack on America. Uhm, the question is, alternative theories are very difficult to prove because… you can posit other theories, but that we can't prove either. The problem is the administration… my concern is the administration's lying is such baloney that it allows, it's like a Petrie Dish for all kinds of other stuff to grow up which may or may not hold water, I can't look at all these, but controlled demolition I can rule out.
I'm sorry, we just, it just… rules out. But on the other hand– it also doesn't comport with the information we have about bin Laden attacking, because, you know, they said, "Don't look at bin Laden", well if they're gonna have a controlled demolition, I mean, you… the information we had that was put out by people like "the towers didn't lean over and stuff" is just false, the towers did lean… uh, and it's that simple.
And the… so the information that was given out… I haven't seen any engineer… it takes two years to wire a building for controlled demolition, and that's an awful lot of people. You'd have to snuff a lot of people… it's Occam's Razor, if you're gonna take out a building, and you could do it by… look, let's remember something, the US government hired bin Laden… to kill people in Afghanistan. Why can't they hire bin Laden for something else? I mean, that's another theory, if you're gonna take out the buildings, you're not gonna do it with dynamite. It's just not gonna happen.
And there's zero evidence, I mean there's absolutely stone cold nothing-nothing there. I'm sorry, Lenny, but that's what I gotta tell ya…
…There's no engineer! You can have ballroom dancers, you can have great actors, you can have poets, you can have physicists, there's a guy, Dr. Jones, his last big theory was that Jesus met with the Mayans after the resurrection. He's a complete fruitcake, and a complete, utter fraud. Mr. Jones, come at me.
Uh now, here's where I wanted to– at a certain point we have to– what we're doing is we're legitimizing– we have to be very careful when we talk about 9/11 truth. That what we don't let happen, while their story isn't believable, that we don't come up with such goofball theories that are so easily disprovable, that they discredit questions raised about this administration."
