As John Dickerson explains it's hard to imagine that there are still aspects of 9/11 and its aftermath yet to come to light. Take the daring raid that killed Osama bin Laden the seal team the women with us. They didn't think they would make it back. That was a surprise to me along the way.

A conversation with Chris Wallace about his new book and Luke Burbank reports on rescue dogs. Those four-legged heroes of 9/11 9/11. Then and now, later on Sunday morning. Summer is drawing to a close. The new season is upon us and all through this morning will be offering you some coming attractions Jim Axelrod as a preview face is familiar and so was the name what you say Michael Gable finished his weight father shoes as young Tony soprano in a new film explores the roots of the groundbreaking mob saga. The first instinct was now Mankiewicz catches up with Cedric the entertainer I was saying I would do poems also don't call me at Steve Hartman has his own take on this 20th anniversary of 9/11 and more.

It's Sunday morning, September 12, 2021 and will be back after this process, oh my God I think it's great curtain going up on the new season going to be offering you some coming attractions over the next few weeks and we began at the movies. Jim Axelrod takes a closer look at and anxiously awaited prequel to the wildly popular television series, the Sopranos, after six seasons 86 episodes and a place on just about every critics list of most influential TV shows ever wheel the family and even this updated HME shop after Tony Sopranos North Jersey Mafia family burning network standards in a long odyssey with your mother has an Otis list 500 uses in the race by your show creator David Chase gave us a brutal mob boss who spent sessions would be shrink talking about his mother and where did all that come from therapy part and the mother will I was in therapy largely because of he knew exactly what he did here.

Once the series was over people and we socially would see you tomorrow.

You should do more thinking never done yet but 14 years later.

Turns out it wasn't done.

James Kendall Feeney's death in 2013 meant to seek what was out so Chase went the other way.

Setting a movie. 30+ years before the show. The many saints of New York is the story of Dickie Malta's sake of father figure to be young Tony would been mentioned on the Sopranos but never flesh that you remember Dickie Malta Sethi not know that what you said differently. He was my father.

I went back over my memories of you, Dickie Malta Saunders older talk about that he was really bad.

I'm interested in Tony soprano origin story note is we want to we want to make an origin story one but you got whatever Chase's intentions prequel element meeting younger versions of such well-known and beloved characters is Sylvia uncle Junior and Tony's mother Livia and making sure they rang true, where's the line between honoring the integrity of the character and parity, mostly cast more than writing I think so.

I felt this obligation to these characters is a fan of the Sopranos actor drama girl plays the young Silvio Dante Scott Sopranos eventual right-hand man portrayed by Steve Van Zandt show rest my soup was still warm when I got home started with this for the policy has the frowning as an then gets into the shoulders a little bit and then it's you know he always has his hands, like the sky keep his arms and says the pressure to capture the essence of these iconic characters and not do impressions of them was felt cast wide.

Nothing is like playing a character. We have millions of rabid fans were ready to pounce on you at the slightest mistake and you know this is compounded a few weeks and I'm at the turn my phone off and Internet offer a few weeks because it's can be scary as hell. You know they're going to come at us no choice would be more scrutinized. The reactor cast to play the young Tony soprano did you addition other actors we audition other actors prior once you addition him you knew him what you say is Michael James Kendall Feeney's son.

The first instinct was now it comes with pressure a comes with responsibility and then a whole another layer of playing my dad par but then he did something he'd never done before. Before your prep for the addition you had never watched the series. That is true you never seen it in my dad passed so it was kind of a thing like ice can be hard. I don't really want to open that up right now and then I watched the first season before the addition exists fell in love is so proud of my dad. He studied his dad's work, especially those therapy scenes is work. I can't talk about my personal life hours with a character who has triggers and impulses in a mindset so it sets a gift. I have hours inside of the mind that I'm about to play this scam some the gift was enough confidence to give it a go.

Despite the shadows and footsteps.

He knew he'd confront that party think you know what I'm good. I don't need to do this. I never jumped out of a plane or something. But you go and you look back and you know how to do that. Sometimes I it baffles me to that II just started then yeah I guess if I had thought about it too much of it crippled me where you would all concerned any party or calculus.

What if this doesn't work, what consequence might there be for Michael to rewatch the work possibly store whatever I mean he's 20, 22 US four college I can't because this David Chase knows he's asked for it as well. I always think to myself when are people going to Tigers and have never met. I guess it's possible this is not the way I think knowing one thing you can count on from the extended family of passionate Sopranos fans is an unvarnished answer and saw masking the guidance at this level. Does it still matter. I mean I'm one human being, trying to communicate with a couple million beings and what they respond to me. Of course it matters if they say it surprised me that was interesting that matters is post we saw the time for the new season and television.

The entertainer has been making us laugh for decades now and he's about to add host of the awards to his long list of credits. He's talking with our man in Hollywood than Mankiewicz, Cedric the entertainer is writing his car collection includes a custom 1941 Ford pickup you. I love the lines on the truck so the 40 drugs. That's what really made me by this.

I love the way the fat was and then there's this vintage view year was 1960 Thunderbird class style and high performance. The T-Bird's nice to call her lovey. Audiences have been loved Cedric the entertainer for three decades flying into a comedian and I'm constantly trying to push you know, please delete it is like was next.

Just shows up in your DNA like that and show business is in this 57. He's a comedian after and producer with dozens of film and TV credits.

Currently he stars into CBS shows the greatest at home videos in the neighborhood next Sunday will host the Emmy awards also on CBS a dream come true. The light while using their hosting the television prom if you will just roll it up and realizing how big a night that is out there like Otis fun in case you're wondering Cedric the entertainer is not his real name was born Cedric Antonio Kyles raised in Carruthers Bill Missouri small-town America you got the hamburger plays a big football games. Everybody was family. What was your life like at home, Moses, schoolteachers, single-parent household she raised was younger sister, myself, you know what a lot of love. We had a very no aspirational energy but Carruthers Bill wasn't idyllic. There were rules different for Blacks and whites remember there was a single movie theater that you know, like unwritten rule that Blacks go over certain nightlights go to a different night he came to, delete. After college, he tried his hand at broadcasting then became a student selling fax machines.

I do remember how magical people, but it was like how hard it was like to sell it at first like that can happen like this not true always going to happen. What he sold electronics at Best Buy we go to sell stuff never really had a personality that you like to engage with and really not a close people, so I just have a bunch of small conversation for quite a while. Review merit.

Next he was a claims adjuster for State Farm.

The original pizza State Farm original and original letter cards and everything you know job that was really set up for but I was really good at like getting people into little cause for prom for the kids move really loved about his leg, a shopping cart, hit my car for a week you like got it.

So it's prom time right so you were good for the customer. Maybe not great process and I think that's what it never really bothered to bring me back for any reason like you always been funny, but he didn't try stand-up comedy until his mid-20s. A friend talked me into it right out of the gate, one $500 in the standup competition. He quit State Farm and hit the road, but Cedric Kyles didn't sound right where to Cedric the entertainer, performed it's just Cedric performed as cheerio and I did give a cease and desist letter from General Mills etc. true story I've never really wanted to do like my formal name I would saying I would do poem so I was like, don't call me a comedian called me. So you introduce me to Cedric the entertainer and that was it. It wasn't easy.

The road was paved with rough nights and long drives, but he had support along the way including from fellow comedian Steve Harvey wrote a comedy club in Dallas. I came to his club and he put me on an upper format did really well every night he would likely become the new 56 and so I just killed it. Every time he gave me 200 bucks and then he brought me back. Maybe like two months later, the headline must've felt that years later the parties take a shower and change drug and groundbreaking kings of common, you know, I mean you know we got commitment toward those guys your lifelong friendships. In this situation so film roles followed among them, Eddie Walker, imparting old-school wisdom in the barbershop movies. I have a couple of different voices that I was like toy weight. But did you know this guy so it was like a God for my mom's church uncle of mine got to the point where I literally didn't even need a script like I could do. Eddie is you say some to me I could talk about was like I was back as Calvin Butler and season for the neighborhood show about a white family moving into a predominantly African-American community life shows a comedy about gentrification but Cedric sees it as a metaphor for these divisive times and it's all about not kicking people out in order to make it new. But how do we uplift to move forward with everybody being exactly who they are to have Father's Day basketball game married for 22 years Cedric the entertainer is about to be an empty Nestor's youngest just graduated high school, but this entertainer is slowing down and raring to go. Just like I might spotlight crowd going on it's days like just that moment is get a Job at work you like, you know, just got to do this now streaming progress and doing crazy time returns once final point is when people in the best way to protect people final season Millstream exclusively on this morning we're remembering the trauma and tragedy. The attacks of 9/11.

20 years on, you may not recollect that the CIA had identified Osama bin Laden as mastermind of those attacks before that terrible day had drawn to a close, yet the search to find him took another 10 tortured years Chris Wallace has written a new book about the hunt for the world's most wanted man. It's published by Viacom. CBS's Simon & Schuster and he talks with our John Dickerson tonight. I can report to the American people and to the world. The United States is conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of Al Qaeda.

2011 military assault on Osama bin Laden's compound in the bottom on Pakistan was so successful, it is possible to forget how difficult the U.S. Navy seal mission really was the seal teams and when they didn't think they would make it back. That was a surprise to me and I will tell you that one of the top CIA operatives that watching the drone you back at Langley at CIA headquarters fully expected to that he was gonna see the compound just explode like a Jerry Bruckheimer action movie. The whole place was just what was up seals didn't know if bin Laden would even be there and if he was he be ringed by tripwires, bodyguards, and maybe Pakistani troops.

In fact, O'Neill called his particular team of the seals the martyrs croquet because he thought were going to go out there doing and what then is 9/11 bring bin Laden to justice, but there's no way were going.

Rob O'Neill, the Navy seal credited with killing bin Laden is just one of the characters in Chris Wallace's new book countdown bin Laden that traces 247 days leading up to that fateful moment the president is making a decision about array that's going to endanger the lives of the couple of dozen seals that threatens relations with a very important ally Pakistan, not so incidentally probably betting his presidency where you put this one in the history of tough presidential calls in terms of just the process. The professionalism, the care the meticulousness. This is right at the top.

Wallace's account isn't just about night vision goggles and stairway firefights. It also follows the painstaking puzzle work done at Lonesome cubicles and in windowless conference rooms that outline the harder you work, the luckier you got they had worked as hard as I can't see anything more they could have done to give himself a chance for success here. It wasn't the only thing going on at the time Obama has got a civil war in Libya. He's got the spring across the Middle East. He's got strong push in the birther movement we provided additional information today about the site of my birth four days before the raid. Pres. Obama had to prove he was born in America speaking to the vast majority of the American people as most of the press. We do not have time for this kind of silliness that are stuffed to every president you get don't get to decide what issues you're going to deal with what's been a be on your plate today so that you get to decide what's on that is just incoming the clock was ticking. The longer the CIA worked to be certain they'd found bin Laden, the greater the chance they might spook them losing the best chance they had nine years were you conscious of the disconnect between what we see and then what's really going on behind the scenes absolutely nobody had a clue remember the night before the raid, Obama is at the White House correspondents dinner and he's taking off after Donald Trump because Trump has been propagating the birther theory, and he starts making fun of the decisions that made on on celebrity apprentice, but you Mr. Trump recognizes the real problem was lack of leadership and so ultimately you can blame John meatloaf fire 24 hours from the biggest decision of his presidency, and perhaps it's either going to secure or eliminate the chances for his reelection. It was the biggest decision for that president but a typical presidential one choice where the chance for success was not much better than 50%, and even the best outcome was one where Americans were almost certain to die. I came took quite a different view of Obama through writing this book, that a lot of people think he was the candidate of hope and change in peace and dove yeah I didn't recognize how tough Obama was, Adm. William McRaven, head of US special operations command was also surprised one of the things that Raven said is I know the guy had never been in the military. He was so discerning about what was important and what wasn't, and he knew his strengths and he knew his limits. He knew the stuff he didn't know he wasn't going to presume or 10 that you know I'm more of a general, than the generals given what you think. When leaders say well I just trust my gut.

I think your damn fools ever think some of the people who are running. I want to run you think they can handle this kind of challenge that that Obama faced, or that any president faces when it really gets to the toughest things.

Yes, as a regular presidential debate moderator. Wallace's thought a lot about what it takes to be president.

I'm in there a lot of things about the presidency, other than making these kinds of life and death decisions for the biggest things that things like bin Laden are things like getting out of Afghanistan and confronting North Korea and in all of these things.

There are crises completely unforeseen crises, and the idea of thinking, really thinking they handle that they handle all of the incoming all of the information. All of the pressure. All of the rest of the possibilities and come to the right conclusion. In the end it's kind of a guess you don't know until there there but it's a useful way to look at a potential president Steve Hartman has a portrait of love everlasting after 20 years in a box.

Monica Aiken is ironing her wedding dress getting ready to wear once more, and although she will wipe away every wrinkle she will not smooth over the tragedy. It represents what is the statement that I was happily married poet Monica was married just 11 months. When her husband Michael Bontrager died in tower to it was a brief marriage but Monica says the loss feels everlasting until I was chosen when I first met Monica just four months after 9/11.

She'd already moved into that advocating for a memorial on the site of the town and warning that any other use of the land would be unacceptable to stand in front of the bulldozers and not let them put up a building down crying so gracious, relentless George Pataki governor at the time says it's important to remember that a lot of people didn't think we needed a memorial here. People just said we had to move on just rebuilt Monica.

This is hologram was there a louder voice than hers.

A lot of people certainly Monica is among the most.

Monica has since remarried and has a family which he freely admits and has come to accept that she will always be in love with. Too bad we live our lives but still that moving in, but never moving on her motto and her vision for this most sacred space. Some 300 search dog teams, the wreckage of Ground Zero in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. Which brings us to this tale of dogged determination from Luke Burbank.

9/11 was undoubtedly one of the darkest moments in our nations history. But the attacks and the days after. Also brought out heroes of all kinds. Some of them on four legs all among them was Anna, a dog trained to find humans in the tangled rubble all at the direction of her handler, Rick Lee, a firefighter from Sacramento.

Overall, reminded me of World War II films of London being bombed because everything has no color was all great everything's destroyed. 20 years later, Lee still vividly remember searching what had been building seven of the World Trade Center.

There had been heavy equipment working there for several hours and they saw the dog. They asked if we could search the area. We got up on the file you can hear a pin drop. We search the area and dogs didn't detect any human sent lighting and sent which was important because it allowed rescuers to move on to other sections of Ground Zero where there might be survivors, Lee and his dog knew what they were doing, due in no small part to Wilma Melville, retired gym teacher from central California. I wanted to learn to train a dog to do something special. Showing the poodle is not to me. Particularly special, but learning to train a dog to find a person who might be alive after a disaster.

Special well into her 50s, Melville and her beloved Doug Murphy learned the art of search and rescue in their first deployment was Oklahoma City 168 people died in Oklahoma City that got branded on my heart. While searching the rubble. Melville noticed some I could see first-hand that although we have many really terrific civilian dog handlers. I saw that for the first two days.

The firefighters meaning the task force step back and wondered what are we going to do with these civilians and so she returned home to California with a plan to start a nonprofit national disaster search dog foundation that would do something that hadn't been done before. Train firefighters and dogs together, free of charge. The kicker she'd get most of the dogs from rescue shelters, looking for dogs got really hard drive. It really doesn't make a good pet rubble. Everything just to get that toy have to Be Really Really Dr., Jason Vasquez is an LA County fire Capt. he says search dog use their keen noses search and outsized enthusiasm to find humans and human remains in disasters.

These 100% smell that use the site to get over the rubble. Okay, but there noses 100% working. That's how they find somebody there a number of folks out here.

How does a dog know to go look for the one guy that's hiding in a barrel like sleeping like a little kid game hide and seek. The person is out in the can see them not the one on the floor. I can't see it's hard to find the foundations headquarters in Santa Paula, California are a sort of search dog Disneyland where the with simulated collapsed freeways, leaning buildings and many piles of rubble and wrecked cars way search. It's the only facility of its kind in the US built specifically for dogs to learn, search and rescue.

I had a patient once the search dog foundation got going to create 168 seem certified teams, one for each person that died in Oklahoma City and just last year.

This agency made it to the 168th Mark an incredible accomplishment for an organization that survives solely on donations and love for these animals. I find it interesting because it seems like you possess the characteristics that you're looking for in these dogs. I suspect that's exactly true and so is any person who is a success and what ever they venture to do it can't be stopped by one or two or three or four hurdles. It can't be stopped because it's difficult it can't be stopped because people say why doing you can stop by anything you for listening.

Please join us when our trumpet sounds again next Sunday morning's intelligence matters with former director of the CIA.
