It starts at the segment titled "9/11: What I Saw at Ground Zero":
Here is his decription of Zelikow's testimony:
When Phil Zelikow came in, and he wouldn’t testify in open session – even though he gave us no classified information in closed session – I asked him, “Did you interview the Able Danger principals?” And he said, “No, Congressman.”
I said, “Why would you not do that? These were CIA-trained case officers and career military professionals. Why wouldn’t you want to get the facts?”
He replied, “Because we think we’ve gotten all the information we need.”
I asked, “And why would you not include that in the 9/11 Report?” He answered, “Because we thought it was historically irrelevant.”
