00:00:21.000An attempted terrorist hijacking foiled at the last minute by the Indian pilot, a group of heroic Israeli passengers like this man, and a backup crew.
00:00:29.000Everybody aboard should be dead right now.
00:00:51.000There are two ways to respond to Islamic terrorism either rush the cockpit and level the plane, or release the terrorists on bail.
00:00:58.000Both of those things have happened in the last couple of days, and both have knock on effects that will be extraordinary.
00:01:05.000The question is, what should Americans learn from all the attempted terror of the past few days?
00:01:10.000Well, there are basically a couple of models.
00:01:11.000One is Israel's response after 10 7, which is you go in and you kill every terrorist you can find and you secure your future.
00:01:17.000And the second is Spain's response after the attacks of March 2004, when Al Qaeda bombed commuter trains in Madrid, they killed like 190 people.
00:01:30.000And then the Socialist Party won in Spain and they immediately withdrew from helping the United States in the Iraq War.
00:01:38.000Either in response to terrorism, you stand tall, you grow a spine, you do what's necessary to preserve yourself and your civilization, or you surrender in the face of terrorism.
00:01:47.000And obviously, the last, you surrender in the face of terrorism, that is what the Islamic world is seeking, the radical Islamic world.
00:01:55.000And that's what Israelis didn't give them aboard the Fly Dubai flight.
00:01:58.000So again, we've all been watching with, I think, bated breath, all the developments around this attempted hijacking of this Fly Dubai flight.
00:02:11.000One passenger described to CBS News exactly what happened.
00:02:15.000Two hours in, and all of a sudden, what we thought was turbulence started.
00:02:21.000And, you know, we were holding on to the chair, and then it became even stronger turbulence and even stronger and stronger and stronger.
00:02:27.000Then we realized it's not something regular, worse than a free fall, I would say, much worse than a free fall, and started turning sideways and going up and down in all different kinds of directions.
00:02:41.000The scariest thing possible, and people were shouting, and people were starting to cry and starting to shout and starting to say, I love you to their children.
00:02:50.000And then shouting started from the front of the plane.
00:02:54.000All we heard in the back was shouting, and they asked us to sit down.
00:02:57.000We saw that some people were dealing with stuff.
00:02:59.000I was just holding my family, we were sitting in all in one row and just holding each other's hands, telling our children that we love them, and just hoping for the best, honestly.
00:03:12.000Just an extraordinary, extraordinary story.
00:03:15.000Some 10 Israelis apparently ran to the front of the plane.
00:03:18.000For those who missed how the story unfolded, essentially there was a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv, and the co pilot was of Omani extraction.
00:04:29.000This guy is the first hero of the story.
00:04:31.000He's being stabbed to death by his co pilot, and he somehow manages to get to the door, to the cockpit, and pry it open, get it open enough that he can notify people outside that something is happening.
00:04:43.000That's what the screaming at the front of the cabin was.
00:04:45.000A bunch of Israelis then rushed to the front of the cabin and ripped this co pilot, who apparently was inside the cockpit, trying to destroy all the equipment in the cockpit so that he could fly it into the ground.
00:04:57.000Again, there are sort of conflicting reports as to.
00:04:59.000Whether he wanted to fly it into the ground or whether his attempt was to fly it into Israeli airspace and maybe crash it into an Israeli target in a 9 11 style attack.
00:05:35.000Again, if you missed it, it's an unbelievable story.
00:05:38.000Yanif Hayoun, who's a plumber who watches a show that is called Air Disasters, knew enough to pull the plane out of the doom loop, to pull it out of the free fall, and stabilize it enough so that a secondary crew that was aboard was capable of flattening out the plane.
00:05:58.000President Trump described what happened.
00:06:01.000And he ripped, with the G-forces as they were, he ripped this guy out of the seat, threw him back, the crowd got him, the passengers got him, grabbed him.
00:06:12.000And having never flown a plane, he took the stick, lifted it up, and leveled out the plane before it crashed.
00:06:22.000Never flew a plane, strong guy, lift him up, throw him back.
00:06:26.000The crowd was, they knew they were going to die shortly because the G-forces, but they were able to hold him.
00:06:33.000Because he was going crazy, and he was crazy.
00:06:37.000And this plumber, never having flown a plane, had the sense to lift a stick.
00:06:43.000Meanwhile, a medical professional on the plane, a dentist whose name was Shota Musaev, he was stabilizing the pilot.
00:06:50.000So the pilot's still in critical condition.
00:06:53.000This dentist stabilized the pilot and made sure that he didn't bleed to death on the flight.
00:07:00.000Enormous number of heroes jumping into action.
00:07:03.000And you have to say Israelis are built different, they are.
00:07:07.000If you were going to name a population on a plane that was likely to have men who would jump into action because they had prior military experience, Israeli plane, pretty much all the men on the plane have prior military experience and have been in crisis situations before.
00:07:20.000The chances that there'd be a medical professional on an Israeli plane are quite high.
00:07:24.000So if you were going to pick a population that was going to be active against terror, the Israeli population is it.
00:07:30.000Obviously, Israel has a long history of having to fight hijacked planes going back to the 1960s and 70s.
00:07:35.000It can be fairly said the only invention of Palestinians is plane hijacking.
00:07:58.000Amit Segal of Channel 12, who's been a guest on the program, he put together a short list of the miracles because, let's be clear, this was a miracle.
00:08:04.000Everyone aboard that plane should be dead.
00:08:06.000Okay, the plane was put into tailspin.
00:08:09.000Part of the rudder ripped off because it was experiencing speeds that the plane was not built to experience, as President Trump actually put out on Truth Social.
00:08:17.000This Boeing stood up to significant pressure it was not made to stand up to.
00:08:21.000But Amit Segal says the pilot opened the cockpit door moments before collapsing.
00:08:24.000The heroes, Yaniv, Asaf, and Svika, happened to be at the front of the plane.
00:08:28.000British pilots, Happened to be on the flight.
00:08:31.000Yanif had watched the air crash investigation docuseries and pushed the controls forward without every single one of them.
00:08:36.000Tonight we'd be searching for wreckage in the deserts of Saudi Arabia, and even that only if the prince allowed it.
00:08:41.000So, what do we know about the terrorist pilot?
00:08:44.000Well, according to Yosef Yisrael reporting for Channel 16, he says, We aired a very interesting character witness account from a pilot at Fly Dubai who knows Yomani co pilots who tried to crash the plane.
00:08:53.000He recounts, among other things, that this is a new pilot at the company about eight months in.
00:08:57.000He was characterized by relatively strange behavior and mainly by religious devotion that is atypical for the work environment.
00:09:02.000He would pray multiple times throughout the day and would not shake hands with women and more.
00:09:05.000In addition, he leveled harsh criticism at the conduct of Fly Dubai, where he works, and claims that the protocol states that flights to Israel are operated only by Emirati pilots, or say Indian like the captain.
00:09:16.000The fact that the co pilot was Omani is negligence that nearly cost the lives of 180 passengers.
00:09:21.000This source says there's no other way to put it.
00:09:24.000Again, there will be an investigation into what happened here.
00:09:27.000Part of the problem is that because the plane landed in Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia took control of the actual terrorist and will be interrogating him.
00:09:36.000And suffice it to say, I don't think that Saudi Arabia can be trusted to tell the truth about what exactly this person is saying.
00:09:41.000They have a wide variety of interests around the region, some in coincidence with those of the West, and some very much not in coincidence with those of the West.
00:09:47.000Remember, they're an allied country with the United States, but they are also in a defense pact with Pakistan at this point and playing footsie with the Iranians in an attempt to get the Iranians to call off the Houthis.
00:09:58.000According to the Jerusalem Post, after around six hours in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, a second flight to buy aircraft with a new staff, specially approved by Mossad, came through Saudi Arabia and flew the Israeli passengers back to Israel.
00:10:11.000Well, it turns out the Saudis refused any air force from Israel or commercial LL aircraft landing in Israel just to get these people home, which I'm sorry is pretty vile.
00:10:20.000I mean, the idea that you can't fly an LL plane into Saudi Arabia to pick up people who almost died in a hijacking because this would somehow offend the Saudi population just pretty disgusting.
00:10:33.000And the Saudis said Israel needs to understand normalization cannot be forced.
00:10:37.000I didn't realize that allowing a plane to land to take home its civilians who were almost killed on hijacking amounts to normalization.
00:10:45.000So, the assumption is that this person was a lone wolf.
00:10:51.000Multiple sources have told the Jerusalem Post, Massad, Shinbet, IDF, and the Transportation Ministry believe the hijacker was a lone wolf, not under orders from Iran or another terror group.
00:10:59.000But again, there is a disconnect in the investigation because the Saudis are leading the investigation of the hijacker, which again is an absurdity.
00:11:06.000This person should be shipped back to UAE or should be shipped to Israel so that this person can be pumped for information.
00:11:12.000So, the cooperation between Israel and the UAE, who are part of an Alliance in the Abraham Accords, brokered by President Trump.
00:11:19.000There, the information sharing will be very good.
00:11:21.000But bottom line is this what we watch here is an extraordinary act of human heroism.
00:11:27.000And I got to say, God touched this flight because there are a thousand ways that this could have ended in not only tragedy, but international crisis.
00:11:35.000Because let's say that Saudi and Jordan had denied airspace, which, again, there's some early reports that that's actually what happened, and the plane had crashed.
00:12:22.000Well, Zip Recruiter has a new feature that is designed to do just that.
00:12:26.000So you save time by meeting the right people faster.
00:12:28.000Candidates can actually tell you in their own words why they're interested in the job.
00:12:32.000So instead of just looking at another resume, you get some idea of who actually wants to work for you, not just the guy who posted 25 resumes to 25 different jobs.
00:12:38.000Combine that with ZipRecruiter's powerful matching technology.
00:13:17.000Great Britain and much of the West, they are choosing to surrender.
00:13:19.000So first of all, the UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband issued a statement in the wake of the attempted hijacking.
00:13:25.000Quote We are very concerned about the incident and appreciate the fact that the plane landed safely thanks to the actions of those on board.
00:13:34.000Our thoughts are with those injured in the incident, with all the passengers of the plane and with their families.
00:13:40.000It was an incident, or he can't say hijacking.
00:13:42.000It was an incident, you know, like a mechanical failure of some sort that involved a co pilot stabbing a pilot almost to death and then trying to slam the plane into the desert.
00:13:53.000This is not surprising from the same UK foreign secretary who says top priority is shipping Palestinian refugees into the UK while ripping on the Israelis for pursuing their own self defense.
00:14:06.000Okay, the UK head of counterterrorism, by the way, we have updates on the men who were released on bail.
00:14:10.000Remember that there was an attempted attack on an RAF base, a Royal Air Force base, where a bunch of American assets are located.
00:14:18.000And that terrorist attempt was pretty obviously linked to Iran.
00:14:22.000As we'll see, the UK is now acknowledging this openly.
00:14:25.000Here is the UK head of counterterrorism announcing that five of the men involved were released on bail.
00:14:30.000I can confirm that following extensive interviews and inquiries, the five men who were arrested are being released on police bail.
00:15:59.000Iran wants the same thing that it has always wanted defeat of the West.
00:16:02.000And it believes that by pursuing terrorism and by getting governments elected like the Labor government in Great Britain, they will succeed.
00:16:09.000Now, what is amazing to watch right now is the split in the West over whether to actually fight radical Islamist enemies or just surrender to them.
00:16:19.000The Trump administration, again, the Trump administration has done something different than any administration of my lifetime.
00:16:27.000And I think there's a high likelihood that before President Trump leaves office, there is a different regime in Tehran.
00:16:32.000Here is Secretary of State Marco Rubio pointing out on Sean Hannity's show that Iran's entire goal has been to build up weapons of mass destruction and fund terrorism.
00:16:41.000This is not simply about imposing economic costs on this regime.
00:16:45.000Every dollar that Iran has, what they have done over the last 30 years is anytime they get money, be it under Obama sanctioned relief, be it under economic selling of oil and gas or whatever, they don't use that money to build hospitals.
00:16:57.000They don't use that money to build roads.
00:16:59.000They don't use that money to improve the life of the Iranian people.
00:17:02.000They use that money to do two things build weapons for themselves and export the revolution.
00:17:33.000By the way, the opening of the Strait of Hormuz has largely been accomplished.
00:17:38.000There are charts demonstrating that oil exports are nearly back to pre war levels, even as kharga exports, meaning exports from Iran, are zero.
00:17:46.000For the total Middle East, this is the number of barrels of oil shipped out per day.
00:17:52.000In January 2026, it was 18,121,000 barrels of oil per day.
00:18:02.000Then it dropped to 7.6 million barrels of oil in March.
00:18:28.000It means that Iran is being strangled economically.
00:18:32.000Which is, of course, why Iran is now seeking desperately to get Democrats elected.
00:18:37.000This is the amazing thing the Iranians are saying everything out loud.
00:18:40.000They want the West to surrender, and they know the party most likely to grant them the surrender is, in fact, the Democratic Party.
00:18:45.000So the IRGC put out an open letter to Americans calling on U.S. civilians to, quote, rest control back from corrupt politicians.
00:18:54.000Quote, although American politicians often win your votes through deception and false promises, as Trump did, you can change the makeup of the government.
00:19:00.000If you apply the criteria for good leadership in choosing the people you vote into office, To allow vulgar and immoral individuals to continue steering your politics and policies will only further humiliate and undermine the U.S. Americans need to wake up.
00:19:12.000You're being told by the IRGC who to vote for.
00:19:15.000The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps that shot 50,000 people in the streets back in January, keeps women in a state of peonage, and attacks every country in the region.
00:19:23.000They're telling you who to vote for, and the answer is the Democrats, according to the IRGC.
00:19:28.000People all around the world, says the IRGC, are looking to Americans to stop their government.
00:19:33.000Americans need to rise up and put an end to this miserable situation that their country and the world at large is facing.
00:19:41.000And the letter argues that the U.S. and Iran can get along.
00:19:43.000All the U.S. has to do is close all of its overseas military bases and all aid to Israel and avoid all foreign wars.
00:19:50.000And they say, by the way, when we say death to America, we don't mean, you know, death to America.
00:19:55.000Just like when we say jihad, we don't mean jihad, we mean self struggle.
00:20:00.000The IRGC says, death to America is a prayer for the eradication of a diabolical ruling elite whose seat of power is the White House.
00:20:07.000If Americans could only come on a short trip to Iran, they would immediately realize their officials and their media are lying to them about Iran, says the letter.
00:20:14.000Well, Americans can't go to Iran because they might be taken prisoner by the regime.
00:20:19.000And by the way, if you would like to know what actually Iran is like, there are a couple of great books by V.S. Naipol, who actually, as a journalist, was allowed into Iran during the 80s.
00:20:26.000And the answer is it is a bleephole run by Islamist fanatics.
00:20:30.000And this has been true for about 50 years.
00:20:35.000They are very clear about this because they believe the Democrats will surrender to them.
00:20:38.000And so when you see additional pursuit of terrorism, and again, the terrorism warnings with regard to Iran right now are very, very high.
00:20:44.000When you see those terrorism warnings emerge, Understand, their goal is to basically do to the entire West what Al Qaeda did to Spain in 2004 pursue terrorist attacks, up the ante, create more chaos, increase the oil prices, and hope that the West caves.
00:21:03.000Because the Islamic world is a shame culture, they believe that if you are shamed, if somehow you lose face, that you're going to run away.
00:21:12.000And in some cases, they're absolutely right.
00:21:16.000Well, the West obviously should be standing up.
00:21:20.000Obviously, that's not happening in some parts of the West, like Great Britain.
00:21:24.000And then there are people in the United States who would like for the West to lose as well, which is why Tucker Carlson spent his evening yesterday saying that we need to understand the Iranian perspective.
00:21:35.000Quote Americans rarely hear the Iranian perspective on the Iran war.
00:21:39.000This is a response, by the way, to the Iranian letter calling to vote for Democrats.
00:21:42.000So when I say Tucker Carlson wants Democrats to win because he is a demoralization op, he wants Democrats to win.
00:21:49.000He is literally tweeting out letters from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, a terrorist group that rips America and rips President Trump on behalf of Democrats.
00:22:53.000The other thing that was seared in my mind as this story broke was weird.
00:23:00.000Just yesterday, Netanyahu was saying that the Iranians are going to carry out some sort of attack against Israel ahead of the Israeli elections.
00:23:12.000And everyone was saying, uh oh, here comes the false flag.
00:23:15.000Now, look, I'm not saying that this is a false flag.
00:24:23.000By the way, speaking of Zoran Momdani, New York elected a mayor who, while he was putting out an anti Semitism fight plan, his wife was literally at an anti Semitic wellness retreat at the exact same time.
00:24:33.000According to the Washington Free Beacon, New York City's first lady is currently wrapping up a week as an artist in residence at a luxury Islamic wellness retreat.
00:24:40.000That has called for the destruction of Israel and openly celebrated Palestinian terrorism.
00:24:45.000How we let these people into our country is absolutely beyond me.
