Also, the line about the forefathers from Mr. Guin in the second story was weirdly apt.

Indeed 🤔

Bill Close is such a chad, he read that rambling nonsense with a completely straight face and even shook that guy's hand afterwards. Even under the highest pressure imaginable he acquitted himself faultlessly. It's unfortunate that people who clearly need help were just thrown in jail but hey thats retributive justice for you

11:56 "our forefathers were murderers, liars, thieves..." Looks like he had brief seconds of sanity in his writing before going back to the mumbo jumbo

I have so much respect for the professionalism of journalists. It takes a lot of improvisation, wisdom, and class to pull off a lot of the things they do every day.

David Horowitz and Bill Close are LEGENDS of grace under pressure.

Major Props to Bill Close, he not only read the statement like it was part of the broadcasting, but he showed great sincerity and compassion for the man, even standing up for him to not have the police rough him up. That's the kind of upright behavior towards life I strive for in my own, I only hope others try to in their own way

I'm surprised that the hostages were so calm. I'd be in hysterics if that were to happen to me. Meanwhile, those two hijackers were extremely troubled individuals living in a time where mental health was still an enigma. As for the second guy, if he was considered insane, why wasn't he sent to a mental health facility instead of jail? Anyway, I hope they both get some help.

I have dealt with mentaly ill people (I am myself, but not in that way, but I have freinds who can.... loose it) and it's not as hard as it seems once you're in a situation. the key is don't contradict. work with them, their reality is reality to them, de-escalate, redirect, understand, but don't tell them they are wrong because in their head they are right! specificaly the guy in the seccond clip probably thaught his only way to save millions of lives was to do what he was doing! the only way I can think to put it is if you somehow knew the day before that the 9/11 attacks were going to happen and nobody would take you seriously wouldn't you do anything, right up to going to the airport with a gun to stop that plane flying to stop it?

This man told the cops back off with the guns 😂😂

David Horowitz (other than being known for being a news anchorman and this incident) hosted a show called Fight Back! which was a consumer show where they tested the claims by various advertisers and it was a precursor to Mythbusters. It's just a shame there aren't many surviving episodes that show on KZread.

Could you do an episode on UK TV hijackings? Two that come to mind straight away are when the Six O'Clock News got invaded in 1988 by people protesting against Section 28 (the clause that banned promotion of homosexuality in schools), and the National Lottery incident of 2006 when Fathers 4 Justice invaded the live draw

I remember that during the national lottery incident Eamonn Holmes showed just what a brave gentleman he was when he ran and hid behind the female presenter that was his co-host! I think her name is Sarah. ❤❤

"the 10 profits are Johnny Cash..." idk why but this got me kinda laughing

In 2015, at CBS affiliated WBDJ in Roanoke, VA, two journalists were shot by a gunman and killed on live TV

That wasn’t a hijacking that was just a crazy ex new anchor on a gay racist crusade

Wow, just wow. Huge respect to David and Bill.

Jesus Christ! Never knew about the KOOL-TV situation! I've got grandparents who were living in Phoenix during that time and saw it unfold on TV! Lol!

I remember the Ant invasion! Horrible!! They were all bitey and crawly. So here I am minding my own business and before I knew it, I had an entire colony of ants crawling on me. The embarrassing part about this is that I had to strip off naked while my mom hosed me down. This was outside in the yard mind you.

i just noticed the first guy didnt even have his finger on the trigger 💀

thank u adam

Wow the second one is just crazy, enjoyed the video tho!

Too bad that guy was 49 years too soon for the war! He should come back this year.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, the first of the 10 prophets of God, Johnny Cash." "When I was just a baby, my Mama told me 'Son, always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns.' But I held a man at gunpoint, just to watch him read my manifesto on the news."

So Johnny Cash is Jesus? 🤨

This IS ODD!

"Is it any coincidence that both of these cases happened in the US, a place with very lose laws around carrying firearms." What's the purpose of this line? These both happened in the 1980's, you should know that firearms were largely unrestricted in most countries until the 90's. The Australian Government didn't bring our (draconian) gun laws in until 1996, and the UK didn't bring in theirs until 1997 (though, of course there were small changes in years prior, similar to the United State's restrictions on automatic firearms in 1986). Also, the first (of two, at that) happened with a BB gun, useless for killing humans. You can get BB guns in the UK. I understand the "carry" line, but that's more a matter of building security than gun laws. You could very easily hide a weapon (any weapon that's about the size of a pistol) anywhere on you.

A semantic ploy of distraction.

"Is it any coincidence that these happened in the US? with very loose laws about carrying firearms?" I have two issues with this statement 1. In many states today, guns are NOT loosely controlled, it's made into a much more rigorous registration process than it was in the 80's 2. Banning guns wouldn't prevent these instances, any person could just bring a steak knife and hold it up against someone's neck, the weapon is just the vehicle for that threat to be made credible. Why do you think gun violence has spiked from the 80's into current year? The answer is likely mental health, america has very expensive mental health services, for roughly the same quality of healthcare as other countries that have universal healthcare.
