Clay Travis and Buck Sexton devote extensive breaking-news coverage to the reported attempted hijacking and terrorist attack aboard a Dubai-to-Israel flight, focusing on reports that a co-pilot stabbed the captain and attempted to take control of an aircraft carrying roughly 180 passengers. The hosts discuss the plane’s dramatic loss of approximately 14,000 feet, the struggle inside the cockpit, and the actions that reportedly prevented the incident from becoming a mass-casualty disaster. They react to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s characterization of the incident as a jihadist terror attack and consider whether the timing, destination, proximity to Israeli airspace, and approaching anniversary of 9/11 could point to a deliberately planned attack. Clay and Buck also explore questions surrounding aviation security, pilot screening, cockpit access, terrorism, lone-wolf radicalization, sleeper cells, Al-Qaeda, ISIS, and airline operations into Israel, while emphasizing that information about the motive and circumstances was continuing to develop during the live broadcast.

Clay and Buck focus particularly on the wounded pilot who reportedly helped stop the alleged attacker, describing the intense physical struggle that could have unfolded inside the confined cockpit and praising the pilot, crew members, and others who intervened. A caller named Tim, a former airline pilot who flew Boeing 757 and 767 aircraft, joins the program to explain cockpit-door procedures and how cabin crew can request emergency access. He also recounts the 1994 FedEx Flight 705 attack, in which flight crew members fought an attacker inside the cockpit while the airplane was maneuvered aggressively in an effort to incapacitate him. The caller discusses post-9/11 cockpit self-defense training and the presence of emergency equipment such as a crash axe in the cockpit, providing Clay and Buck with additional context for how an extraordinary confrontation aboard an aircraft might unfold. The hosts underscore how narrowly catastrophe may have been avoided and return to the story of Flight 93 and Todd Beamer as examples of people taking action during an aviation emergency.

Clay and Buck continue breaking-news coverage of the reported attempted hijacking of a Flydubai flight bound for Israel, discussing reports that a pilot stabbed his co-pilot, took control of the aircraft and sent the plane into a rapid 14,000-foot descent before the wounded co-pilot and others aboard were able to regain access to the cockpit, subdue the alleged attacker and ultimately land the aircraft safely. The hosts note that the passengers subsequently continued their journey to Israel on another plane and turn their attention to the larger terrorism and national security implications. They discuss reports of five arrests in the United Kingdom and allegations of an Iranian connection to a separate potential terror plot, asking whether investigators will examine any possible links between the incidents. Drawing on Buck’s experience as a former CIA analyst, the conversation explores how intelligence agencies respond after a suspected terrorist attack, including examining digital communications, searching for accomplices or additional plots, determining whether attackers received outside direction and assessing the possibility of remotely coordinated terrorism. Clay and Buck emphasize that possible connections remained speculative as the story developed, while discussing the broader threat environment surrounding Iran, Israel, terrorism and the 25th anniversary year of the September 11 attacks.

Fox News anchor Trace Gallagher joins Clay and Buck for the hour’s featured interview to discuss his book, Turns Out They Were Right All Along: Life Lessons I Learned... Eventually, and the experiences that shaped his views on success, family and journalism. Gallagher recounts attending legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden’s basketball camp as a teenager after earning half the $500 cost himself. Expecting elite basketball instruction, Gallagher instead remembers Wooden teaching campers the seemingly mundane importance of correctly wearing two pairs of socks to prevent blisters. Gallagher explains that he eventually understood the lesson as an example of Wooden’s emphasis on fundamentals, preparation, discipline and controlling what you can control, principles that became increasingly meaningful as he grew older. Gallagher also describes the process of developing his book with HarperCollins and explains how personal stories became vehicles for larger life lessons.
