Latest / Wicked Radio with Bill Adams / 10-1: Why Did The Media Try To Lie About The FlyDubai Terrorist Incident?
Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: Well, by now you've most likely heard about the Fly
- 0:06Speaker 1: Dubai terror attack that happened. It was luckily, thankfully, miraculously
- 0:11Speaker 1: saved by heroic passengers who were telling the story. By
- 0:15Speaker 1: now you've heard about that. You probably know most of
- 0:17Speaker 1: the details because it was worldwide trending number one story
- 0:20Speaker 1: and President Trump was talking about yesterday and I'll give
- 0:22Speaker 1: you all the details. But if this was maybe 10
- 0:25Speaker 1: years ago, I think about 10 years ago, At this time,
- 0:29Speaker 1: at this point in time, you probably wouldn't have the
- 0:32Speaker 1: details of the story because this is amazing. And the truth,
- 0:35Speaker 1: besides the heroic acts of the passengers on this fly-to-buy
- 0:39Speaker 1: flight who took down the attacker, the terrorist, which is amazing.
- 0:42Speaker 1: We'll get into that, too. The story to me out
- 0:46Speaker 1: of this entire incident, the entire thing, is how the media...
- 0:52Speaker 1: AP and New York Times specifically, tried their absolute best
- 0:56Speaker 1: to tell you that this wasn't a terrorist attack. They
- 0:58Speaker 1: flat out tried. But it's okay. I bring you the
- 1:01Speaker 1: good news. Immediately, immediately they were shut down by the
- 1:07Speaker 1: exact same people on that flight, those heroic passengers. So
- 1:11Speaker 1: that the media eventually, by the end of the day,
- 1:14Speaker 1: had to report the true facts of the story. We're
- 1:16Speaker 1: almost there. We're on the cusp. We're on the very
- 1:19Speaker 1: edge now. almost putting it across the goal line and
- 1:22Speaker 1: getting true information. And the reason why that's happening is
- 1:25Speaker 1: because we have digital media now. You've heard the expression,
- 1:29Speaker 1: you're the media now. And that's how the truth gets out.
- 1:32Speaker 1: That to me is the story. First part of the
- 1:34Speaker 1: story is these people were saved through heroic actions. That's awesome.
- 1:39Speaker 1: The big takeaway is truth is getting out. But they tried. Oh, boy,
- 1:44Speaker 1: did they try. We'll get it. It's unbelievable. But thanks
- 1:47Speaker 1: for finding me. We'll get into it. Thanks for finding
- 1:48Speaker 1: Wicked Radio. The live stream, 8 a.m. Eastern Time, 8 a.m.-ish,
- 1:52Speaker 1: Monday through Friday, X YouTube and Facebook. The replay is
- 1:55Speaker 1: always on there. And the audio-only listen podcast, wherever you
- 1:58Speaker 1: like to get your podcasts, uploaded shortly after the live stream.
- 2:01Speaker 1: I'm not going to play too much of this. This
- 2:03Speaker 1: is some of the audio and video recording from inside
- 2:07Speaker 1: the plane when it was taking a nosedive when the
- 2:09Speaker 1: co-pilot apparently stabbed the pilot to try to crash the plane. Horrifying.
- 2:15Speaker 1: We're not going to play too much of this, but
- 2:17Speaker 1: this is a little bit of what was inside the plane.
- 2:19Speaker 1: And this really is the crux of the story. Everybody
- 2:21Speaker 1: has these cell phones to get the truth. We can
- 2:26Speaker 1: complain about digital media all we want. Here's where it
- 2:28Speaker 1: has a benefit. Can't play too much of that. There's
- 2:43Speaker 1: no need to. It's just horrifying. And you don't even,
- 2:45Speaker 1: you video viewers, you don't even get the full scope
- 2:48Speaker 1: of exactly how steep of a nosedive that was. So
- 2:51Speaker 1: that was when the co-pilot had stabbed the pilot. That
- 2:54Speaker 1: actually happened.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Unbelievable.
- 2:57Speaker 1: But here are the first reported stories about it. Now,
- 3:00Speaker 1: keep in mind the timeline's important here. Passengers, just like that,
- 3:04Speaker 1: I think, lady who had the cell phone, you know,
- 3:08Speaker 1: documentation of exactly what was going on at the time
- 3:11Speaker 1: as soon as the plane had you know been steadied
- 3:16Speaker 1: and the heroic passengers grabbed the plane and they actually
- 3:19Speaker 1: steadied things and they saved their own lives heroic action
- 3:23Speaker 1: they started talking to the media and they started from
- 3:25Speaker 1: their seats saying exactly what had happened bloodied and you'll
- 3:28Speaker 1: get the details of the story here in a second
- 3:30Speaker 1: bloodied you know, going back to their seats, and then
- 3:32Speaker 1: they're on their cell phones telling their family and friends
- 3:34Speaker 1: that they're okay. Some of them had even talked to
- 3:37Speaker 1: media outlets. The story was already out that the plane's
- 3:40Speaker 1: going to be okay, but we stopped a terrorist attack.
- 3:44Speaker 1: They're telling everybody. This is the Associated Press. Now, they
- 3:48Speaker 1: do these little video update stories. They try to get
- 3:50Speaker 1: into digital media, too, and they do these little video updates.
- 3:53Speaker 1: After we had already gotten the story about what happened
- 3:55Speaker 1: with the Air Dubai flight, heroic passengers stopping a terrorist attack,
- 3:59Speaker 1: Listen to this. This is the Associated Press, supposedly the
- 4:03Speaker 1: news gathering source of record for the worldwide media, right?
- 4:08Speaker 1: This is how they tried to tell you what happened.
- 4:10Speaker 3: A fly Dubai flight headed from Dubai to Tel Aviv
- 4:12Speaker 3: made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia after an apparent
- 4:15Speaker 3: fight in the cockpit. About two and a half hours.
- 4:19Speaker 1: An apparent fight in the cockpit. Now this is, again,
- 4:23Speaker 1: timeline is very important in this. This is after, after. Passengers,
- 4:27Speaker 1: heroic passengers had already told the media exactly what happened. Right.
- 4:32Speaker 1: Of course, the story gets out. So the lie of
- 4:35Speaker 1: what they try and what the big question is, why?
- 4:37Speaker 1: Why are that? Why did they refuse to call terrorism terrorism?
- 4:41Speaker 1: We don't know. But that's the most burning question we
- 4:43Speaker 1: have to ask. OK, so the day goes on throughout
- 4:45Speaker 1: the day and they finally the real story gets out.
- 4:48Speaker 1: And the other media outlets were forced to actually tell
- 4:50Speaker 1: the truth on it. Let's check in with, I think
- 4:52Speaker 1: this is ABC. No, this is CBS's accounting. With that
- 4:54Speaker 1: mid-air attack, one pilot stabbing another and then apparently trying
- 4:57Speaker 1: to bring down a commercial airliner en route to Tel
- 5:00Speaker 1: Aviv today. Check on ABC.
- 5:02Speaker 4: Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu now says a pilot on a
- 5:05Speaker 4: fly Dubai flight stabbed another pilot and tried to crash
- 5:09Speaker 4: the plane. New video from inside the plane shows the
- 5:11Speaker 4: moments the altitude dropped. You can hear passengers.
- 5:14Speaker 5: Help.
- 5:15Speaker 1: We heard from the AP, which tried to tell you, no,
- 5:17Speaker 1: it was just a simple fight in the cockpit. We
- 5:19Speaker 1: don't know what happened. They tried to run with that
- 5:21Speaker 1: all day long. Let's not let New York Times off
- 5:24Speaker 1: the hook on this one. Would you like to read
- 5:25Speaker 1: their headline? And they got absolutely roasted in the community notes,
- 5:30Speaker 1: you know, as a post on X and people correct
- 5:32Speaker 1: them on there. This was their headline. Again, timeline being
- 5:36Speaker 1: important here. After the information had already been released that
- 5:39Speaker 1: it was heroic passengers stopping a terror attack. They were
- 5:42Speaker 1: telling you exactly what happened. They were involved in it.
- 5:45Speaker 1: New York Times, breaking news. A plane flying from Dubai
- 5:49Speaker 1: to Israel was diverted after an altercation between the pilot
- 5:56Speaker 1: and co-pilot, Israeli officials said. We got the AP saying
- 6:01Speaker 1: it was a fight. We got the New York Times
- 6:04Speaker 1: saying it was an altercation. This after the story had
- 6:08Speaker 1: already been released to the world by the people that
- 6:11Speaker 1: actually were in the plane witnessing it. It's just... It's
- 6:15Speaker 1: just incredible what they tried to get away with. And
- 6:18Speaker 1: they almost did. And I would venture to guess, like
- 6:20Speaker 1: I said in the introduction, 10 years ago, I think
- 6:22Speaker 1: they would have gotten away with it. Not anymore. Because
- 6:25Speaker 1: besides the fact that we all have digital media now,
- 6:29Speaker 1: we all get the story out, we can all get
- 6:31Speaker 1: to the truth or at least closer to the truth
- 6:33Speaker 1: in real time. We also have a president that doesn't
- 6:36Speaker 1: mind at all talking about the story. Now go back
- 6:38Speaker 1: to past presidents and you can pick anyone you want. Republican, Democrat,
- 6:42Speaker 1: I don't care. This guy is a little bit different.
- 6:45Speaker 1: Of course the reporters are going to ask him what
- 6:46Speaker 1: he knows about the story. Trump doesn't mind talking about
- 6:50Speaker 1: his conversation he just had with Benjamin Netanyahu. And in
- 6:55Speaker 1: Trump fashion, again, keep in mind yesterday in the timeline,
- 7:00Speaker 1: the AP and the New York Times were already out
- 7:02Speaker 1: with their lie. The other networks were already trying to
- 7:05Speaker 1: tell the truth. Trump is fresh in the Oval Office,
- 7:08Speaker 1: fresh off of his conversation with Netanyahu, and Trump tells
- 7:11Speaker 1: the story like nobody else can. Actually, some of the
- 7:14Speaker 1: best details of the story, because Netanyahu had talked to
- 7:16Speaker 1: some of the Israelis as soon as they landed.
- 7:19Speaker 6: It seems as though the co-pilot was perhaps a terrorist or.
- 7:24Speaker 2: Perhaps a wet job. And he stabbed the pilot.
- 7:31Speaker 6: The pilot was in very bad shape. I guess he
- 7:35Speaker 6: still is in very bad shape. But he had the
- 7:38Speaker 6: sense to amazing to in a way he was a hero.
- 7:43Speaker 2: To open the door.
- 7:43Speaker 6: You know, those doors are solid steel. You can't get
- 7:46Speaker 6: them open from outside.
- 7:47Speaker 4: Here he goes.
- 7:48Speaker 2: He was able to fall back and get the door
- 7:50Speaker 2: open and scream.
- 7:52Speaker 6: And a plumber, an Israeli plumber, never flew a plane,
- 7:58Speaker 6: was rarely in planes, very rarely flew.
- 8:02Speaker 2: An Israeli plumber saw what was happening.
- 8:04Speaker 1: Okay, now, I'm going to pause for just a second here.
- 8:07Speaker 1: But keep in mind, he's getting this information from just
- 8:10Speaker 1: talking to Netanyahu about 15 minutes before this. And this
- 8:13Speaker 1: is what he says.
- 8:13Speaker 2: Strong. You know, when you lift pipe all day, you're strong.
- 8:17Speaker 2: And he saw what was going on. He heard the screaming.
- 8:20Speaker 2: He was toward the front.
- 8:22Speaker 1: Only Trump could give that kind of detail. Other presidents
- 8:26Speaker 1: would have been said, well, we're still collecting details and
- 8:28Speaker 1: we're not too sure of the information. Trump goes into,
- 8:31Speaker 1: you know, when you lift a pipe all day, you're strong.
- 8:33Speaker 1: He's a plumber. He's an Israeli plumber. So what's the
- 8:36Speaker 1: truth there? So here's the timeline in the afternoon. Trump
- 8:40Speaker 1: is telling the story about the details he got directly
- 8:44Speaker 1: from Bibi Netanyahu. You've got the AP and the New
- 8:47Speaker 1: York Times trying to tell you it was just an altercation.
- 8:50Speaker 1: And passengers are now talking to the worldwide media and
- 8:55Speaker 1: on the phone with Netanyahu, Israelis, as they're trying to
- 8:59Speaker 1: get home after the diversion of the flight. And this
- 9:03Speaker 1: is what happens in this entire mess. And again, I
- 9:06Speaker 1: go back to this. A lot of presidents would have said,
- 9:08Speaker 1: we're still collecting information on the details. Trump will tell
- 9:11Speaker 1: you the story. And this is all part of this
- 9:14Speaker 1: new world we're in now. And it's such good news
- 9:17Speaker 1: where we're so close to getting the truth. So close.
- 9:19Speaker 1: I'll say it again and again and again. What the
- 9:22Speaker 1: AP and what the New York Times tried to tell
- 9:24Speaker 1: you about some sort of an altercation in a cockpit
- 9:27Speaker 1: on an Air Dubai flight. which happened to have nosedived.
- 9:32Speaker 1: While the passengers involved in this were telling you exactly
- 9:36Speaker 1: what happened. Here's one of them now. Now, again, back
- 9:39Speaker 1: to the timeline. By the time the main 6 o'clock
- 9:42Speaker 1: news reports come out, here's a guy telling Fox News,
- 9:46Speaker 1: this is one of the passengers involved in the incident
- 9:51Speaker 1: who was there on his plane, who was in the
- 9:54Speaker 1: cockpit helping the, like Trump said, the very strong plumber
- 9:58Speaker 1: who pulled back on the controls, who, who saved the plane.
- 10:01Speaker 1: This is a guy who went back to his seat,
- 10:03Speaker 1: got on his phone when they had cell phone connection again,
- 10:06Speaker 1: and he started telling the truth about the entire thing.
- 10:08Speaker 1: And then while he's on there, he's getting alerts on
- 10:11Speaker 1: his phone. People are telling him, and he's getting worldwide
- 10:16Speaker 1: news alerts while he's still in the plane, that it
- 10:19Speaker 1: wasn't a terrorist attack. It's just insane. Here's him telling
- 10:23Speaker 1: the story, and this is a little bit long, but
- 10:25Speaker 1: it's important. He has the same frustration we do about
- 10:30Speaker 1: media lying about an incident, except he was involved.
- 10:33Speaker 7: Something that failed for me, I was really frustrated with,
- 10:39Speaker 7: that while everything is happening.
- 10:42Speaker 5: I was one of the only people that could communicate
- 10:46Speaker 5: externally because I had reception. And I get notices from
- 10:51Speaker 5: everyone that the global media is reporting it as a
- 10:55Speaker 5: fight between to pilots, while we are reporting outside.
- 11:01Speaker 2: That it's a terror attack.
- 11:04Speaker 7: And it was really, really frustrating that the first reaction
- 11:10Speaker 7: of the media out there is that by default, it
- 11:14Speaker 7: cannot be a terror attack.
- 11:16Speaker 8: Even though it's clearly a terror attack. And I think
- 11:20Speaker 8: that it really was really difficult for us to understand Why,
- 11:26Speaker 8: why it's happening? Why does the media decide to treat
- 11:31Speaker 8: it as a fight between pilots when it's already clear
- 11:36Speaker 8: that it's a terror attack?
- 11:38Speaker 1: You know, that's the billion dollar question, my man. I
- 11:41Speaker 1: don't know, except we're all asking the question too, except
- 11:44Speaker 1: he was there. Can you imagine the situation? Put yourself
- 11:48Speaker 1: in that situation. You've just gone through the experience, horrifying
- 11:52Speaker 1: experience of your lifetime, where this plane dives thousands of
- 11:55Speaker 1: feet all of a sudden. No one knows what's going on.
- 11:58Speaker 1: They're screaming. You guys, the passengers, run to the cockpit,
- 12:03Speaker 1: level off the plane, and stop the co-pilot attacker who
- 12:07Speaker 1: stabbed the pilot. That's okay. You're checking on your fellow passengers.
- 12:11Speaker 1: You go back to your seat. Some of them, by
- 12:13Speaker 1: the way, were covered in blood still. They go back
- 12:16Speaker 1: to their seat. The plane is leveled off.
- 12:19Speaker 6: Right.
- 12:20Speaker 1: That they're giving emergency aid to the to the pilot
- 12:23Speaker 1: guy who was able to survive and actually divert the plane.
- 12:28Speaker 1: And then you're sitting there and you go on your
- 12:30Speaker 1: cell phone and you're getting alerts and people are telling you, hey,
- 12:33Speaker 1: I guess there was some kind of a fight on
- 12:34Speaker 1: your plane. It's insane. And his question goes to this. Why?
- 12:40Speaker 1: Why then did the media until they were forced to
- 12:42Speaker 1: tell the truth? Why did they try to portray this
- 12:45Speaker 1: as a fight or an altercation? Was it lack of
- 12:47Speaker 1: information at the time? Oh, we just don't know the details.
- 12:50Speaker 1: We'll have to call it some sort of an altercation. No,
- 12:53Speaker 1: that AP report I played for you, where they tried
- 12:55Speaker 1: to call it an altercation. In fact, let me play
- 12:58Speaker 1: it one more time. If you guys are just joining in,
- 13:00Speaker 1: you didn't. This is after the facts were already recorded.
- 13:03Speaker 3: A fly Dubai flight headed from Dubai to Tel Aviv
- 13:05Speaker 3: made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia after an apparent
- 13:08Speaker 3: fight in the cockpit. About two and a.
- 13:12Speaker 1: This is after we already knew what happened. And then
- 13:14Speaker 1: the New York Times, some sort of an altercation on
- 13:17Speaker 1: a fly-to-buy flight. Why did they do that? Why did
- 13:20Speaker 1: they try? I think the first thing is because they
- 13:24Speaker 1: used to be able to get away with that. I've
- 13:26Speaker 1: been saying about 10 years ago before we all became
- 13:29Speaker 1: the media. I think they used to be able to
- 13:31Speaker 1: get away with it very easily. The big question, and
- 13:35Speaker 1: we can all come up with our own reasons for this.
- 13:38Speaker 1: We can all try to justify it. I don't know unless...
- 13:42Speaker 1: unless those same media outlets are on the take from
- 13:44Speaker 1: some very, very bad organizations and countries. It's just as
- 13:50Speaker 1: justifiable to try to come up with that conclusion. But
- 13:53Speaker 1: the big takeaway is, and here's the good news, and
- 13:55Speaker 1: I try to give you the good news, we're almost there.
- 13:58Speaker 1: We're almost there where organizations like the AP and the
- 14:00Speaker 1: New York Times can't lie to you anymore. They tried
- 14:03Speaker 1: all day long until they were forced to correct it,
- 14:04Speaker 1: until they got blasted by the public and the actual
- 14:07Speaker 1: passengers who were on the plane who were involved, who
- 14:09Speaker 1: know the truth and saw it, and witnessed it and
- 14:11Speaker 1: felt it, we're almost there. They're still going to try.
- 14:16Speaker 1: They're still going to try to push this on you.
- 14:18Speaker 1: They're still going to try to lie. It's up to
- 14:20Speaker 1: you and me and everybody else to hold them accountable.
- 14:23Speaker 1: Just unbelievable. But again, let's be grateful that passengers actually
- 14:27Speaker 1: stopped this thing because it could have been a way,
- 14:29Speaker 1: way different story. How would they have reported it then?
- 14:31Speaker 1: What if nobody was able to get on a cell
- 14:34Speaker 1: phone to report the actual facts and the information? We'd
- 14:36Speaker 1: still be thinking, You still have the AP and the
- 14:38Speaker 1: New York Times telling you it was some sort of
- 14:40Speaker 1: an altercation or an accident in the air.
- 14:45Speaker 6: I don't know.
- 14:46Speaker 1: But we're getting closer and closer to the truth every
- 14:48Speaker 1: single day, and that's a great thing. It's just unreal.
- 14:51Speaker 1: An altercation in the air. Thanks for finding me. I
- 14:53Speaker 1: appreciate you. Always get to the truth. Thanks for finding
