• 0:10
  Speaker 2: today does not discriminate.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: I might not have the song of today, but I
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: got the donkey days.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: So if you ever feel I need to be a.
• 0:16
  Speaker 4: Dunky man.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Ship, it's a practice club, bitch.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: Please don't kive today Today.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: On radd I turned my Micael. Okay, well, lads, Sharon.
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: Donkey Today for Tuesday, October twenty fourth goes to a
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: forty four year old Alaska Airlines pilot named Joseph d Emerson. Now,
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: remember when I told y'all when I get on long flights,
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: especially out the country, I always give the pilot a
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: little gift, a Dunken Donuts gift card, Starbucks gift card,
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: just some little token of appreciation because literally our life
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: is in these pilots hands. You never know what people
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: are dealing with, and a little kindness goes.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: A long way.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: And it's insane to me that folks board planes and
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: don't even speak to the people that are you to
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: your destination. You have forty thousand feet in the air,
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: you're going. It's six hundred miles per hour and you
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: don't speak to the person that's in charge all that, Like,
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: y'all really don't know what folks be going through mentally
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: and emotionally, and god forbid they have some type of
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: breakdown in the air. But apparently that is what happened
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: in this situation because Joseph d Emerson allegedly tried to count.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: The whole plane. Let's go to kron for News for
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: the report. Police.
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: On Sunday afternoon, Alaska Airlines Flight two zero five to nine,
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: a seventy six seat Horizon Air flight, was flying from Everett,
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: Washington to San Francisco, when an off duty Alaska Airlines
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: pilot who was riding in the jump seat, a third
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: seat in the cockpit, allegedly tried to shut down the
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: engines of the plane. The pilots were able to regain
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: control and that man was removed from the cockpit. The
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: pilots then requested to make an emergency landing in Portland.
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: That can be heard describing the situation over the radio.
• 1:52
  Speaker 6: We've got the guy that tried to shut into down
• 1:55
  Speaker 6: out of the cockpit, and he doesn't sound like cousins.
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: An issue on the back right now, I think to
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: get on the ground of park.
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: After landing, the suspect was taken into custody without incident.
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: He has since been identified as forty four year old
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: Joseph David Emerson, a resident of Pleasant Hill. At this point,
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: we don't know his motive for allegedly trying to turn
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: off the engines, but he's now facing eighty three counts
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: of attempted murder, along with reckless endangerment and one count
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: of endangering and Aircraft's crazy.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Now you feel me, Now you feel me.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: This is exactly why I show so much love to pilots.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: It's really just common sense. But y'all don't think about
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: anyone but yourselves, so you don't even see the people
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: who are helping.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: You get to where you need to go.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: When you get on a flight, you're thinking about where
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: you're going to put your carry on. You're thinking about
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: getting some sleep, doing some read and getting some work done.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: You're thinking about what you gotta do or who you
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: got to do. When you land, you thinking about everything
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: and everybody except for who's in that cock pit. Now,
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: this is what should really bother us about this story.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: You heard it in the news report. Demand was off duty.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: I don't know who the other pilots were, but Captain
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: not if you off duty, you don't got no business
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: riding in this cockpit. Okay, I don't even know what
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: the flight you know that jump seat is, but I
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: read that pilots will sometimes riding the cockpit jump seat
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: when traveling and their official capacity are commuting between airports.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: This dude was not riding in an official capacity, so
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: he had no business in that seat. Clearly, this man
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: was on this flight just to cause a disturbance, just
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: to cause some harm. Whatever he was going through that day,
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: he wanted to project onto others. You don't get on
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: no plane sitting in the cockpit and attempt to do
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: something that is going to cause the engine to shut down. Okay,
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: unless you're really really going through something. This is Batman
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: villain level evil. You was trying to get the engine
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: shut off so this plane could crash into a small
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: town and salute to the crew on Alaska Airlines, drop
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: on the clues bombs for them for some doing the
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: guy and having a quick reaction to reset both handles
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: to help you store the floor of fuel and prevent
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: the engines from cutting off. If this was spirit the
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: Southwest Airlines, everybody would have probably died. Okay, I'm not
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: even sure they have cus. I'm not sure they have crews. Okay,
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: I mean that respectfully. Last time I flew Southwest that
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: was about what twelve years ago, I'm about twelve years o.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: We were on Southwest right and we had to get
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: on and play musical chess, you know what I mean.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Every man and woman for themselves.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: And I don't remember them having any flight attendants too,
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: like normal people.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: They got a undcovered flight attendants.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: They got like wear shorts, they could wear shorts, pants,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: w basically what they want.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: They got volunteers.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: If you volunteer to be a flight attendant on Southwest,
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: you get the best seat on the plane. And I've
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: never flown Spirit because the one time I was opposed
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: to they canceled the flight for no reason. It never
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: refunded me my money, so we got beef forever. Spirit
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: don't have a crew either. Okay, listen, I know I
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: have a list, and I'm not the highest grade of
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: weed in the dispensary, but trust me when I tell
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: you that doing a little something for a pilot can go.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: A long way.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Be kind because you never know what somebody is going through,
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: and in this case, always treat people kindly and appreciate
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: them because you never know if it's your last day
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: or their last day, and if they flying your plane,
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: it could be both for y'as. So please give Joseph
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: d Emerson and the D clearly stands for donkey to
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: biggest he huh. Trying to tell y'all be nice to
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: these pilots man when you get on the plane.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: I'm have to do that.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I never thought about I speak to them, but I
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: just never thought about the gift card.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: I like that.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: Even speaking is fine, just saying hello, how are you?
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: Just sending y'all some positive energy from love and light?
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: You know, I usually do the gift calls, and.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: I got the country.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: I need to start doing it when we uh in America, yest,
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: especially flying over to the West coast. But just show
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: some love to the pilots man. Salute all the pilots
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: out there man. Probably probably some of the most unappreciated
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: people in our uh, in our world today because we
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: all get on these planes. We ain't thinking about the pilot.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Were thinking about everything but the pilot. Yes, there ain't
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: no way I'm trusting somebody, My life in somebody's hands
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: like that without speaking to You're crazy.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Come on now, okay, Cappuccina, I flew southwest one time.
• 5:46

• 5:51
  Speaker 1: He flew you out, he flew, he paid, He said,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I'll take care of all the flights and everything. And
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: when we got to the airport, it was southwest. And

  Speaker 1: in front of me. I'm like, well, I didn't run
