<v Speaker 3>Please don't kive today Today.

0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:26.800
<v Speaker 2>On radd I turned my Micael. Okay, well, lads, Sharon.

0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:30.080
<v Speaker 4>Donkey Today for Tuesday, October twenty fourth goes to a

0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:33.680
<v Speaker 4>forty four year old Alaska Airlines pilot named Joseph d Emerson. Now,

0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:36.880
<v Speaker 4>remember when I told y'all when I get on long flights,

0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:40.120
<v Speaker 4>especially out the country, I always give the pilot a

0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:43.800
<v Speaker 4>little gift, a Dunken Donuts gift card, Starbucks gift card,

0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:47.839
<v Speaker 4>just some little token of appreciation because literally our life

0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:51.720
<v Speaker 4>is in these pilots hands. You never know what people

0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:54.120
<v Speaker 4>are dealing with, and a little kindness goes.

0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:54.720
<v Speaker 2>A long way.

0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:58.000
<v Speaker 4>And it's insane to me that folks board planes and

0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:00.720
<v Speaker 4>don't even speak to the people that are you to

0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:03.240
<v Speaker 4>your destination. You have forty thousand feet in the air,

0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:05.360
<v Speaker 4>you're going. It's six hundred miles per hour and you

0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:09.040
<v Speaker 4>don't speak to the person that's in charge all that, Like,

0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:11.800
<v Speaker 4>y'all really don't know what folks be going through mentally

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:14.760
<v Speaker 4>and emotionally, and god forbid they have some type of

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:18.039
<v Speaker 4>breakdown in the air. But apparently that is what happened

0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:22.000
<v Speaker 4>in this situation because Joseph d Emerson allegedly tried to count.

0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:24.520
<v Speaker 2>The whole plane. Let's go to kron for News for

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:25.280
<v Speaker 2>the report. Police.

0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:28.759
<v Speaker 5>On Sunday afternoon, Alaska Airlines Flight two zero five to nine,

0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:31.840
<v Speaker 5>a seventy six seat Horizon Air flight, was flying from Everett,

0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:35.400
<v Speaker 5>Washington to San Francisco, when an off duty Alaska Airlines

0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:37.720
<v Speaker 5>pilot who was riding in the jump seat, a third

0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.440
<v Speaker 5>seat in the cockpit, allegedly tried to shut down the

0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:43.240
<v Speaker 5>engines of the plane. The pilots were able to regain

0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 5>control and that man was removed from the cockpit. The

0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 5>pilots then requested to make an emergency landing in Portland.

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:52.200
<v Speaker 5>That can be heard describing the situation over the radio.

0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 6>We've got the guy that tried to shut into down

0:01:55.600 --> 0:02:00.000
<v Speaker 6>out of the cockpit, and he doesn't sound like cousins.

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:04.080
<v Speaker 6>An issue on the back right now, I think to

0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:05.120
<v Speaker 6>get on the ground of park.

0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:09.040
<v Speaker 5>After landing, the suspect was taken into custody without incident.

0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:11.200
<v Speaker 5>He has since been identified as forty four year old

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:14.800
<v Speaker 5>Joseph David Emerson, a resident of Pleasant Hill. At this point,

0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:17.080
<v Speaker 5>we don't know his motive for allegedly trying to turn

0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:19.880
<v Speaker 5>off the engines, but he's now facing eighty three counts

0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:23.080
<v Speaker 5>of attempted murder, along with reckless endangerment and one count

0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:24.880
<v Speaker 5>of endangering and Aircraft's crazy.

0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:26.920
<v Speaker 2>Now you feel me, Now you feel me.

0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:30.240
<v Speaker 4>This is exactly why I show so much love to pilots.

0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 4>It's really just common sense. But y'all don't think about

0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:34.840
<v Speaker 4>anyone but yourselves, so you don't even see the people

0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:35.959
<v Speaker 4>who are helping.

0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:37.000
<v Speaker 2>You get to where you need to go.

0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:39.360
<v Speaker 4>When you get on a flight, you're thinking about where

0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:41.680
<v Speaker 4>you're going to put your carry on. You're thinking about

0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:44.520
<v Speaker 4>getting some sleep, doing some read and getting some work done.

0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:46.760
<v Speaker 4>You're thinking about what you gotta do or who you

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:49.560
<v Speaker 4>got to do. When you land, you thinking about everything

0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.960
<v Speaker 4>and everybody except for who's in that cock pit. Now,

0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:54.960
<v Speaker 4>this is what should really bother us about this story.

0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.520
<v Speaker 4>You heard it in the news report. Demand was off duty.

0:02:58.040 --> 0:02:59.880
<v Speaker 4>I don't know who the other pilots were, but Captain

0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:02.000
<v Speaker 4>not if you off duty, you don't got no business

0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:04.040
<v Speaker 4>riding in this cockpit. Okay, I don't even know what

0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:06.400
<v Speaker 4>the flight you know that jump seat is, but I

0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 4>read that pilots will sometimes riding the cockpit jump seat

0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:12.440
<v Speaker 4>when traveling and their official capacity are commuting between airports.

0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:14.840
<v Speaker 4>This dude was not riding in an official capacity, so

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 4>he had no business in that seat. Clearly, this man

0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:20.520
<v Speaker 4>was on this flight just to cause a disturbance, just

0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:22.760
<v Speaker 4>to cause some harm. Whatever he was going through that day,

0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:25.240
<v Speaker 4>he wanted to project onto others. You don't get on

0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:27.240
<v Speaker 4>no plane sitting in the cockpit and attempt to do

0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:29.960
<v Speaker 4>something that is going to cause the engine to shut down. Okay,

0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:32.799
<v Speaker 4>unless you're really really going through something. This is Batman

0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:35.280
<v Speaker 4>villain level evil. You was trying to get the engine

0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:37.320
<v Speaker 4>shut off so this plane could crash into a small

0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:39.920
<v Speaker 4>town and salute to the crew on Alaska Airlines, drop

0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:43.320
<v Speaker 4>on the clues bombs for them for some doing the

0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:46.280
<v Speaker 4>guy and having a quick reaction to reset both handles

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:47.920
<v Speaker 4>to help you store the floor of fuel and prevent

0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:49.840
<v Speaker 4>the engines from cutting off. If this was spirit the

0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:52.720
<v Speaker 4>Southwest Airlines, everybody would have probably died. Okay, I'm not

0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:55.640
<v Speaker 4>even sure they have cus. I'm not sure they have crews. Okay,

0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:58.120
<v Speaker 4>I mean that respectfully. Last time I flew Southwest that

0:03:58.160 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 4>was about what twelve years ago, I'm about twelve years o.

0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:01.760
<v Speaker 4>We were on Southwest right and we had to get

0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:03.840
<v Speaker 4>on and play musical chess, you know what I mean.

0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:05.320
<v Speaker 2>Every man and woman for themselves.

0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:08.920
<v Speaker 4>And I don't remember them having any flight attendants too,

0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:10.400
<v Speaker 4>like normal people.

0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:12.080
<v Speaker 2>They got a undcovered flight attendants.

0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:14.320
<v Speaker 3>They got like wear shorts, they could wear shorts, pants,

0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:15.600
<v Speaker 3>w basically what they want.

0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:16.720
<v Speaker 2>They got volunteers.

0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:20.920
<v Speaker 4>If you volunteer to be a flight attendant on Southwest,

0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:23.160
<v Speaker 4>you get the best seat on the plane. And I've

0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:25.120
<v Speaker 4>never flown Spirit because the one time I was opposed

0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:26.800
<v Speaker 4>to they canceled the flight for no reason. It never

0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:30.279
<v Speaker 4>refunded me my money, so we got beef forever. Spirit

0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:33.039
<v Speaker 4>don't have a crew either. Okay, listen, I know I

0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:34.400
<v Speaker 4>have a list, and I'm not the highest grade of

0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:36.360
<v Speaker 4>weed in the dispensary, but trust me when I tell

0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:40.120
<v Speaker 4>you that doing a little something for a pilot can go.

0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:41.599
<v Speaker 2>A long way.

0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:45.719
<v Speaker 4>Be kind because you never know what somebody is going through,

0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:48.960
<v Speaker 4>and in this case, always treat people kindly and appreciate

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.200
<v Speaker 4>them because you never know if it's your last day

0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:54.800
<v Speaker 4>or their last day, and if they flying your plane,

0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:57.400
<v Speaker 4>it could be both for y'as. So please give Joseph

0:04:57.440 --> 0:04:59.919
<v Speaker 4>d Emerson and the D clearly stands for donkey to

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:05.560
<v Speaker 4>biggest he huh. Trying to tell y'all be nice to

0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:07.080
<v Speaker 4>these pilots man when you get on the plane.

0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:07.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm have to do that.

0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:09.960
<v Speaker 1>I never thought about I speak to them, but I

0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:11.160
<v Speaker 1>just never thought about the gift card.

0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:11.479
<v Speaker 3>I like that.

0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:14.000
<v Speaker 4>Even speaking is fine, just saying hello, how are you?

0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:16.200
<v Speaker 4>Just sending y'all some positive energy from love and light?

0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:18.039
<v Speaker 4>You know, I usually do the gift calls, and.

0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:18.640
<v Speaker 3>I got the country.

0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:21.400
<v Speaker 4>I need to start doing it when we uh in America, yest,

0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:24.400
<v Speaker 4>especially flying over to the West coast. But just show

0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:26.560
<v Speaker 4>some love to the pilots man. Salute all the pilots

0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:30.279
<v Speaker 4>out there man. Probably probably some of the most unappreciated

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:33.839
<v Speaker 4>people in our uh, in our world today because we

0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:35.840
<v Speaker 4>all get on these planes. We ain't thinking about the pilot.

0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:39.360
<v Speaker 4>Were thinking about everything but the pilot. Yes, there ain't

0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:42.120
<v Speaker 4>no way I'm trusting somebody, My life in somebody's hands

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:43.680
<v Speaker 4>like that without speaking to You're crazy.

0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:46.640
<v Speaker 3>Come on now, okay, Cappuccina, I flew southwest one time.

0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:47.320
<v Speaker 3>You want to know why?

0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Why is that?

0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:51.080
<v Speaker 3>Charlamagne wanted us to go down to South Carolina.

0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:53.920
<v Speaker 1>He flew you out, he flew, he paid, He said,

0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:56.520
<v Speaker 1>I'll take care of all the flights and everything. And

0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:59.000
<v Speaker 1>when we got to the airport, it was southwest. And

0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:01.039
<v Speaker 1>as soon as I stepped to fight, people started running

0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:02.360
<v Speaker 1>in front of me. I'm like, well, I didn't run

0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:04.320
<v Speaker 1>it playing music. I didn't know that there was no

0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:06.479
<v Speaker 1>seats like you just well, not no seats, but those

0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:07.200
<v Speaker 1>signed seats.

<v Speaker 1>eight five one oh five one.

0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:31.520
<v Speaker 3>This was trending yesterday, right.

0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:35.279
<v Speaker 1>Listen, here is a list of places women absolutely refuse

0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:38.360
<v Speaker 1>to go on a first date right now.

0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:40.839
<v Speaker 3>Some of these places. Number one, it's cheesecake factory.

0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Don't do that, also disrespectful.

0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:44.880
<v Speaker 1>For now, I'm not a cheesecake factory love, but there's

0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:47.400
<v Speaker 1>too many things on the menu. For myself, it's not great.

0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:49.960
<v Speaker 1>It's just good. I don't love you don't like cheesecake factory.

0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:54.360
<v Speaker 1>You don't really deserve nice things. Number two Applebee's. I'm

0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:56.120
<v Speaker 1>not mad at Applebee's. I love Applebe's.

0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:58.800
<v Speaker 2>Actually I can't believe. But by the way I'm looking

0:06:58.800 --> 0:06:59.320
<v Speaker 2>at I'm not gonna.

0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:00.720
<v Speaker 4>I was looking at this this last night and I

0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:03.080
<v Speaker 4>said to myself, well, shoot, me and my wife wouldn't

0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:05.040
<v Speaker 4>have been married if it wasn't for most of these places.

0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:08.160
<v Speaker 4>The first date was definitely the movies. My first day

0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:09.960
<v Speaker 4>is to Tony Rooms, the rid place.

0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:12.400
<v Speaker 2>I know what that is.

0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:17.600
<v Speaker 4>To the player that was my quarterback for the roof.
