The following is an excerpt from that television debate:

HANNITY: Joining us, Attorney Hamdi Rifai is with us. Hamdi, what is funny about joking
about the terror attacks on the anniversary of 9/11, joking about the attacks and talking
about another attack two days later? I think I have a pretty good sense of humor. You tell
me what’s funny about that.
RIFAI: Well, I don’t think they were joking. I think the fact of the matter is that this person
that sitting in the booth next to them, I believe her name is Eunice Stone, probably read
into what they were saying because they looked Middle Eastern.

HANNITY: Probably—no. I—

RIFAI: But we don’t know they were joking.

HANNITY: I heard the woman this morning. And she was on our air.

RIFAI: We don’t know that they were joking. And we don’t know what she heard. We do
know that she said that she heard them say September 11. We do know that she said she
heard them say September 13.

HANNITY: I heard this woman this morning right here on the Fox News Channel. And she
was credible. She seemed honest. She seemed heartfelt. And she said they were
laughing about 9/11 and talking about another attack.
