With Victor Blackwell and christi paul. So glad to have you here. Breaking news overnight. A Regional Airline employee steals an empty plane and takes off and starts doing these aerial maneuvers. This happened just after 8 00 seattle time. Within minutes military jets were right behind him. He flew the plane for an hour and then crash under ed into a area 40 miles from the airport. This is not terrorism. This is not a terroristic incident. Were learning more about the man, though, who apparently stole that plane. The Pierce County sheriffs
A morning newscast featuring breaking news and weather reports. Familiar with that and may even be a pilot himself. Well find that out later. He clearly wasnt of right mind and his flying and where he was going, but he did have command of the aircraft. Clarify that. Because early on the sheriff referred to this man as a mechanic and then we got the clarification that it was a Ground Service agent. Youre saying that he could be both a Ground Service agent and a mechanic. Is that what youre saying . The term Ground Service agent is an airport term that identifies anyone who has access to particular areas. Whether his job was to carry baggage. Whether his job was to be a mechanic. Hes saying anything to do with Ground Service is that category who has access to the aircraft. He has access to the tarmac, he has access to the baggage area and this is one of our most vulnerable areas, as with all airports across the country right now is these Ground Service agent passes. Got it. Colonel leighton, do we know what kind of Mental Health checks are done on, i mean, we know that pilots are certainly heavily scrutinized. Youre in the military, the flights that followed him, the f15s. They go through rigorous testing. What about these Ground Agents . Are there protocols to change that and make it more rigorous for everybody working at the parp airport . I am trying to understand, how on earth can a man like this, in this position, get access to that and do what he did. Absolutely, christi. The problem is there are no protocol for people like Ground Service agents or most mechanics to have real thorough Background Checks. Theyre not going to have the same kind of Background Checks that pilots go through and you mentioned the military. Of course, Military Pilots have

Authorities are all on the scene and investigations will begin. We appreciate you both so much. Thank you for being here. Theyre going to stick with us here as we have more to discuss, of course. We also have more to listen to with you here. The audio from inside the cockpit of that plane where this man talked about what he was trying to do. Trying to do a barrel roll and if that goes good, im going to nose down and call it a night. John waldron was taking a walk when he looked up and saw the planes. He recorded that video and we spoke with him last hour and he said he knew something was wrong. Out of no where, the guy that was flying this q400 just pulled the stick back and put this
thing into a complete loop and i honestly thought he was going to stall and hit the water. He headed down to where he eventually crashed at and pulled the nose back up, again. I thought he was going to stall, again. And he made his way down and i looked, again, he was in a nose dive and went straight into the ground. I saw a brief flash of flame and then smoke and then the explosion. I just had a bad feeling. Well continue to follow this for you this afternoon and this morning. Listen, its been a year since white nationalists and counterprotesters fought on the streets of charlottesville. Some people say, listen, this country hasnt had a moment of healing when it comes to race and hatred. Where we are a year later and where were going. Look at this. Entire neighborhoods destroyed in california. The state is in the middle of a recordbreaking fire season. Well have more details on how these monstrous fires are racing through these communities and they dont seem to be letting up just yet. You do not want to run into the november elections.

The University Of Virginia is hosting a morning of reflection and renewal with breakfast and performances and charlottesville clergy members are leading a service for remembrance and then this evening a student rally on uvas campus. In charlottesville right now and you were there last year. Have you talked to anybody about the differences from last year to this year . Do they feel like anything has changed . Christi and victor, what has changed here is a lot of the city personnel. A new police chief in town and officials who made decisions that led to the results of last years events are no longer in those positions that they were elected to. I was just speaking with a few members of the Charlottesville Community who say over the past year theyve had more
conversations with their neighbors, with their colleagues than they have in years past about the state of Race Relations, not just in the city of charlottesville, but in this country. The city this weekend is really focused on healing, looking forward, not looking back at what happened a year ago. These barricades you see behind me, concrete barriers barring any vehicles and those barriers such a sharp reminder of what was witnessed a year ago. This intersection im standing at right outside of what was known as Emancipation Park and that statue of robert e. Lee that was the genesis of the alt right coming here and this was the intersection where you saw so much violence and brutality a year ago. These streets closed. The police chief saying violence will not be tolerated in the city this weekend. All right, kaylee, thank you so much. We appreciate it. So, in the meantime, i want to let you know that i talked
with susan bro, the mother of heather heyer, who is speaking out on losing her daughter in last years violent protests. Heather heyer was the one who died in that crash, when that car crashed. I spoke with her mother about the state of Race Relations in the country and what her message specifically is for unity. Sometimes if someone is so adamantly opposed to what you have to say, you simply make your point by linking arms with that person of color who is with you. Or it could be a visual statement, as much as a verbal statement. Sometimes people arent ready to hear what you have to say. But they cant help but see what youre doing. What do you want to say . I want to say snap out of it. White privilege is a very real
thing. You know, i struggled a lot in my life. I was a single mom with two kids. My parents provided for me. I have, you know, i was not struggling as a child. My grandparents were cominers and farmers and i live in a single wide trailer. I get that demographic and i get the mindset. But, its not mandatory that you think a certain way just because you live a certain way. You have the ability to still think for yourself. I often say, dont drink the co koolaid. Be aware of the fact that you dont have to believe the way you were brought up to believe. Susan, by the way, is expected to visit the cemetery where her daughter is buried tomorrow and also to lay some flowers where she died. Were getting more of the

Two fighter jets scrambled escorting the plane for nearly an hour and during that entire flight, air Traffic Controllers were in contact with that man, attempting to convince him to turn around and land that plane. Well, after a 25mile flight, the plane crashed on ketron island. The deputies say the man was suicidal. Several times during the flight, he apologized. Listen. I have a lot of people that care about me and it is going to disappoint them that i did thisp i would like to apologize to each and every one of them. Just that broken guy, got a few screws loose, i guess. Never really knew it until now. Well be listening to more of
that, but, first, let me read. This is the white house statement just released. And im going to read it for you here. The president has been briefed on the incident involving a stolen plane from Seatac Airport in seattle and is monitoring the situation as information becomes available. Federal authorities are assisting with the ongoing investigation, which is being led by local authorities. We commend theinter Agency Response effort for their swift action and response. That from press secretary sarah sanders. Colonel cedric leighton. Your reaction there, colonel, to what you heard from the white house and what happens next in this investigation. Christi, i think the white house made the right statement in this case. And what we have here is a test of the system that we have for
air defense in this country. And the fact that the f15s from The 142nd Fighter Wing at portland, oregon, International Guard unit came so quickly shows that at least that part of the system is working. And, of course, well have to find out exactly what the motivations were. You know, was this just solely a Mental Health issue . As far as the future of the investigation is concerned, i would say that the hope of the pilot, the person who stole the plane in this case is something that is of paramount concern. Make sure there are no connections to anything else. There are, after all, five Different Military installations, Major Military installations in the seattletacoma area. Makes any activity of this type part of a broader look and the investigations have to include a look at motivations and a look
at connections and a look at the kind of things that may have spurred this kind of activity. But, you know, so far i agree with the local sheriff who said that there is no Terrorist Activity indicated at the present time. David, to you on the phone, lets talk more about this investigation. We know that the colonel has just outlined the questions that these investigators want answered. Tell us practically what that looks like at the airport there in the hangar and who are they speaking with . What are the questions theyre asking. What evidence could they potentially get their hands on right now after their plane has crashed and burned that could give them some of those answers . The first thing theyre looking at is that there is a protocol to not allow anyone to singularly get on board and it is something that is practiced and its like when you have a Security Badge and you go through the door, youre supposed to close the door behind you and make sure no one comes behind you until they use their badge to come through. That is very similar to this
process in which if you are going to access the aircraft that you check with someone else and that someone else is confirmed and that you have your badge with you and the right authority to get on that aircraft. Step one, to figure out why in the world that happened and why someone Wasnt Paying Attention to allow someone to gosingulary on that aircraft. Step number two is how do they res have those processes. And every airport in the country is going to be looking at at after this incident. So sad to listen to what we just listened to Colonel Leighton the pilot saying maybe i have a screw loose and feeling so much defeat in his voice. Help us understand how you would normally try to negotiate or talk to someone like that when theyre in that state. Thats a very difficult situation and it varies by each
individual case and, you know, the parameters of the situation that youre in at the time, christi. But in this way, you know, in a situation like this, what you end up doing is you end up trying to reason with the person, which can be a very difficult thing to do because theyre, obviously, looking at life from a very depressed point of view. Theyre not looking at things in a very positive way at all. Sometimes what you try to do is you try to give people the idea that there is something to live for. There is something that they can actually seek in their way of doing things that will mack their lives better. But, you know, at this point, act like this is an act of desperation and in some ways its almost impossible to talk someone down successfully from Something Like this. What were lucky with in this particular case is the fact that he appears not to have hit any populated areas. That there is nothing that he
did that endangered anybody else. But it could have been very, very different had he turned the plane towards seattle, we would be talking about a very different story today. No doubt about it. Appreciate both of you being with us so much. Thank you. Thank you, both. The president s legal team sees the Mueller Investigation wrapping up soon.

Others may have tried to use manaforts connections to get ahead. A Bank Employee for Loan Approval in hopes that manafort might be able to help him land a job. Correspondent for the hill, and cnn legal analyst and former federal prosecutors shan, represented rick gates who testified for the prosecution. Good morning to both of you. Good morning. You know, as we now transition, the prosecutors have a little more to wrap up, but transitioning from the prosecutors to the defense. How do you assess the defense teams efforts thus far in crossexamination and, also, what does the defense need to look like to break down and discredit some of this information and this testimony . I think the defense team has done what they needed to do and what they plan to do, which is they launched a big assault on rick gates and i think they scored some points. Of course, the critical point there is the jury doesnt necessarily have to like the co wince but they attacked him and dirtied him up a little bit and questioned his motivations and remains to be seen what the jury take away from that is. I think theyve also done a good job with some of the other
crossexamination picking away at some of the details, for example, on friday the bank loan executives. So, they definitely made some points on cross. I think overall what theyre going to need to do is what they said in the beginning in their opening. They need pry apart gates from manafort to do all their strategy and pin all the blame on rick gates and not clear if they have been able to do that or not. Done a very solid job on the cross. Gates, of course, was an important witness here for the prosecutors, but a lot of this case is on paper and in photos. The purchases made by manafort and its really remarkable. I just want to put some punctuation on this. The financial difficulties, the dire straits in which manafort found himself in the lead up to joining the campaign and as he worked for the trump campaign, all the things that we are going on behind the scenes, it really
is remarkable. It really is. I think one of the biggest things here is that he has to, you know, go, im sorry, im hearing in my ear. If you can fix that, well get back to that question. And let me come back to you, shan, while we get the Audio Situation fixed for amie there. Paul manafort and roger stone some lessons we can take. Paul manafort was charged last year and analysts and people who knew him who said this man will flip on president trump. This is not the type of man that will risk going to federal prison for any amount of time. Hes been there for a few weeks now before this trial actually started. I want you now to listen to what were hearing from roger stone, who has not been charged. But this is what he is saying about potentially offering information about the president. I made it abundantly clear that there are no circumstances under which i would testify
against the president. I would not rule out cooperating, if they think i could be helpful in some area. But beyond that, i have not spoken to them. So, again, he has not been charged. This is not a trial situation, but if hes subpoenaed to come and offer information that he believes would be against president trump, do you expect hell stick to that line . He could try to stick to it and it sounds like he will, you know, i recently watched that film about him and he certainly seems to be quite a loyalist in terms of his ideology. Hes not really going to have a legal basis for it other than okay. We have aimes audio issue fixed . Aime . Yeah. Lets move on to a different part of the conversation now and talk specifically about randy who is now facing a subpoena and
we moved on to rauoger stone no. As his communications with wikileaks founder Julian Assange and identified him as his le liaison between the two and he will not speak to the subpoena and the impact and what it indicates about the direction of the Mueller Investigation now. I mean, the thing that i think is really clear here is that theyre trying to make the case here. Theyre trying to find out exactly what trump knew. I think thats key here. If he did anything, if he knew, if he did anything illegal, if stone did anything illegal and i think he is the key here. Its really interesting why he hasnt been subpoenaed yet, stone. The fact that theyre trying to chip away at this and find out exactly what he knew and what he was trying to communicate and what he knew about wikileaks. So, i think they think this is a key witness here and thats what theyre trying to chip away at with here. Sorry for the audio issue. So sorry. Got it fixed just there at the end. Shan, thank you, as well. Good to be here. Still to come, a Rural Pennsylvania town racially divided with many residents supporting and racists are being fueled by president trumps words.
