My name is Gianni Russo, aka Carlo, the infamous son-in-law from the godfather.

I'm now known as the Hollywood Godfather, and this is my story.

Before all of the wins in my portfolio, I was a little boy diagnosed with polio.

Experimenting with cures, I tried everyone. tried everyone felt everything in my right but my left was

numb walking with a limp like will I ever run once again or is this it am I for ever done living in the

hospital was never fun some people were cool but not everyone welcome everybody today is a very important show to us and a very important day in our life.

We are actually recording this show on 9-11. And I know we all remember where we were during 9-11,

fortunately and unfortunately.

As I reflect on it, because I'm a lot older than most of us, when I was growing up, we

were worried about Pearl Harbor, which was, you know, December 7, 1941. 9-11 came 60 years later.

Pearl Harbor was the first time we were ever attacked by an enemy on our soil.

And the Japanese destroyed Pearl Harbor.

A lot of people died.

Spinning forward 60 years, 9-11, we were attacked again,

the Twin Towers. I wasn't in America. We'll get to where I was, but I think we have to really

focus on the lives we lost. Because with that one episode,

downtown New York, which I would have been close to if I was home, 2994 people died that day.

I'm sorry. Tell me that number again.

2,994 people died that day within those hours.

Since then, from the residual of meeting in all that air in the last 20 years, thousands

more have died.

So it's not something that's going away.
