WNBC has obtained the transcript of Giuliani's appearance with Jennings, from the Giuliani 2008 campaign. This is the verbatim of the issue in question:

"I--I went down to the scene and we set up headquarters at 75 Barkley Street, which was right there with the police commissioner, the fire commissioner, the head of emergency management, and we were operating out of there when we were told that the World Trade Center was going to collapse. And it did collapse before we could actually get out of the building, so we were trapped in the building for 10, 15 minutes, and finally found an exit and got out, walked north, and took a lot of people with us."

Giuliani is asked if he had expected the twin towers to collapse on 9/11. Here is his response.

"Yeah, but not in the way they did."

"It occurred to us all that they might ultimately collapse over....the way buildings usually collapse, which is in stages."

"It looked like at some point the top of the building would come off, and then maybe the middle of the building and then maybe there'd be a shell left....the way number 7 came down 4 or 5 o'clock in the afternoon - over a period of time - but the idea that it would implode, the implosion that took place, I actually didn't realize that until much later."

will you people shut the fuck up? im doing this to waste time at work, but i mean come on? how much time do u people devote to this bullshit? there is no conspiracy. 9/11 was done by islamic extremists. fucking piece of shit terrorists. no one else. why cant you believe a word the government says? obviously they really dont like us over in iraq, otherwise they wouldnt be planting ieds everywhere and killing our good american troops. they are assholes, and most dont deserve to live. even the children dont stand a chance. how many of the kids overthere are being raise to hate america and become terrorists? i never condone mass killings of innocent people, but so many of them are potential mass murderers themselves, nuclear attack doesnt sound so bad anymore. bush may be a dumbass, as are most of his people, but hes still a good man. he truly believes he is doing the right thing here, even though i dont agree. hes not in it for money or oil, hes fucking loaded! he used to own the texas rangers baseball team for christ sake, his dad is fucking rich as shit, he has no need for more money or oil. he is simply trying to protect america and make iraq a better country, which is obviously impossible at this point. he wanted them to be like us. they dont want to be like us. they want it the way it was, when you could practically enslave women, and kill anyone just because they didnt agree with you. in short, most iraqi men are pieces of shit. you people need to get in touch with your american pride. we are the most powerful country for a reason. why? Because we just are. Nobody can fuck with us, but if you people keep being so anti american, then we show them our weakness. this is exactly what the terrorists wanted. they have turned americans against each other like never before. stand up and stop being bitches. stop hating on america and stop loving every other country. other countries dont like america, but why does everyone want to come here? because its the land of opportunity, even in the year 2007. becuase you have right to the pursuit of happiness and prosperity. BECAUSE HERE YOU ARE FREE, NO MATTER WHERE YOU CAME FROM!
