THE DAILY BS: HOW MUCH CAN YOU HANDLE?

SPARE ME THE BS (I’ve got things to do).

David Beamer, father of September 11 hero Todd Beamer, joined President Trump at a Michigan rally Sunday and delivered an emotional account of his son’s final morning.
The 84-year-old warned that America’s enemies are now operating from within, comparing the Democratic Socialists of America’s agenda to threats against the country.
After criticizing Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and taking swipes at AOC and Bernie Sanders, Beamer led the crowd in his son’s famous battle cry: “Let’s roll!”

LAY IT ON ME (I’ve got time).

President Trump has welcomed plenty of celebrities and political heavyweights onto his rally stages. But Sunday in Michigan, an 84-year-old father brought something very different: The memory of a son who helped fight back against the September 11 hijackers and never came home.

David Beamer, father of United Airlines Flight 93 hero Todd Beamer, joined Trump in Port Huron, accompanied by his wife, Peggy.

And the elderly father, who lost his son 25 years ago, had quite a bit to say about the direction of America.

Trump introduced Todd as a Michigan-born hero whose famous words, “Let’s roll,” became a rallying cry after passengers resisted the terrorists who hijacked their plane on September 11, 2001.

When David Beamer approached the microphone, he began by thanking Americans who had prayed for his family.

Then he told the crowd about the morning that changed their lives forever.

Todd, born in Flint, Michigan, had gotten up for work on September 11. His wife, Lisa, was five months pregnant, and the couple already had two little boys, ages three-and-a-half and one-and-a-half.

“He never came home,” David said.

🚨 WOW. The father of fallen 9/11 hero Todd Beamer — the “LET’S ROLL” patriot who stormed the terrorists on Flight 93 — just WALKED OUT ON STAGE after President Trump exposed Abdul El Sayed’s ties to Hasan Piker

DAVID BEAMER: “The enemy is RIGHT https://t.co/mmV99e2j1w

He described how the passengers aboard Flight 93 fought back against the hijackers, preventing the aircraft from reaching its intended destination.

“Todd and others didn’t come home, but they won the counterattack,” Beamer told the audience.

It was a deeply personal recollection from a father whose son became one of the defining symbols of American courage on September 11.

But Beamer hadn’t come to Michigan simply to remember the past. He wanted to deliver a political warning about the present.

He told the audience that the enemy was now among Americans and directed his criticism at the Democratic Socialists of America and the political movement supporting Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed.

Beamer compared the possibility of political upheaval to the surprise of the 2001 terrorist attacks, arguing that Americans could see what he regarded as a dangerous movement approaching this time.

His remarks grew especially pointed when he turned to socialism.

Beamer argued that government promises of free services could eventually cost Americans their freedom.

“In their society, free, believe me, is a four-letter word,” he said.

That’s one way to put the price tag on the political promise of something for nothing.

He also took aim at El-Sayed, the Democrat facing former Republican Rep. Mike Rogers in Michigan’s November 3 Senate election.

Beamer accused El-Sayed of holding anti-American views and attacked his associations with controversial political figures and organizations. He alleged that the candidate was sympathetic to the Muslim Brotherhood, an accusation El-Sayed has rejected. Reporting by the Associated Press has found no evidence that El-Sayed is affiliated with the organization.

The remarks came during a rally at which Trump also repeatedly called El-Sayed a “jihadist” and accused him of supporting extremism.

El-Sayed has denied extremist ties, while Democrats have criticized the attacks as anti-Muslim and argued that the election should focus on economic concerns.

But Beamer’s speech wasn’t limited to one Senate candidate.

He turned his attention to some familiar personalities on the American left, imagining what it would look like if socialists took their political movement elsewhere.

Perhaps, he suggested, they could purchase an island and try their preferred system there.

And who might accompany them?

“They might even take Comrade AOC with them,” Beamer joked, before suggesting members of the Squad and Bernie Sanders could join the expedition.

It’s not every day that an 84-year-old man gets to the microphone at a presidential rally and starts inviting Washington socialists to relocate to a tropical island.

But the levity was brief compared with the emotion surrounding Beamer’s appearance.

His remarks drew an enthusiastic response from the crowd and quickly circulated on social media, where viewers shared clips of the speech and reflected on Todd Beamer’s heroism.

Twitchy highlighted one viewer who said the moment had brought tears to their eyes and another who praised the elder Beamer for appearing in public to speak about his son’s sacrifice.

A particularly emotional response came from an X user who wrote that they were listening live and had to pull their car over because they were crying.

Meanwhile, the appearance also underscored how intensely the Michigan Senate contest has become focused on questions of patriotism, national security and religious identity.

At a Detroit rally the previous evening, former President Barack Obama had campaigned for El-Sayed, praising his agenda on healthcare and economic issues while defending him against attacks involving his Muslim faith.

Less than a day later, Trump was presenting the race through the memory of September 11 and the family of one of its most famous heroes.

For David Beamer, the choice to enter the political arena meant returning to the story of a son whose courage has been remembered for a quarter-century.

And as his address drew to a close, he returned to the words everyone in the audience knew.

He asked whether it was appropriate for Todd’s old man to quote his son, then invited the audience to join him.

On the count of three, they shouted:

“Let’s roll.”

The crowd followed with chants of “USA!”

Trump thanked David and Peggy Beamer and told them he believed their son was looking down proudly.

The political arguments from Sunday’s rally will continue through Election Day. But the image of an elderly father standing before thousands of Americans, recalling his son’s last morning and repeating the words that made him a national hero, was a moment that extended well beyond the usual campaign speech.
