Speaker 1: The suspect in the January twenty twenty one US Capital
0:05
Speaker 1: pipe bomb case has finally been arrested. And the question
0:10
Speaker 1: you're probably asking yourself is why did it take so long? Well,
0:14
Speaker 1: the manicus of playing that pipe bomb near the US
0:17
Speaker 1: Capitol the day before the January sixth, twenty twenty one
0:21
Speaker 1: protests has been arrested in Virginia. Officials with the FBI
0:26
Speaker 1: arrested the suspect early Thursday, citing law enforcement sources saying
0:32
Speaker 1: the suspect's name is Brian Cole. That according to two
0:35
Speaker 1: sources to Fox News, the pipe bombs are placed near
0:39
Speaker 1: the Republican and Democratic National Committee headquarters over sixteen hours
0:44
Speaker 1: before authorities even located them. A bomb squad detonated the
0:50
Speaker 1: pipe bomb found at the Republican National Committee. A suspicious
0:54
Speaker 1: package was also found at the Democratic National Committee's offices.
0:59
Speaker 1: The report comes as supporters of President Trump stormed the
1:02
Speaker 1: US Capital to protest the Congressional Electoral College vote to
1:07
Speaker 1: certify the twenty twenty presidential election results for then President
1:11
Speaker 1: elect Joe Biden. That is how the news covered this.
1:15
Speaker 1: I'm not joking more than even the pipe bomb. The
1:19
Speaker 1: exact words of NBC News. The arrests mark a breakthrough
1:23
Speaker 1: in a case that is stymied investigators for nearly five years.
1:28
Speaker 1: Or maybe they just didn't care and look the other way.
1:33
Speaker 1: Here's how Local News reported on this. But first, I
1:37
Speaker 1: want to tell you about our friends over Patriot Mobile.
1:40
Speaker 1: Every so often, something happens that reminds us just how
1:43
Speaker 1: fragile our freedoms are. We can't afford to take our
1:46
Speaker 1: rights for granted. We must draw a line in the sand,
1:50
Speaker 1: and our friends at Patriot Mobile have been doing just
1:53
Speaker 1: that for more than twelve years. The truth is there

Speaker 1: make a difference with every call you make. Take a
3:27
Speaker 1: listen to the local Fox affiliate telling the news about
3:31
Speaker 1: the arrest.
3:32
Speaker 2: News Now and arrest and then their five year hunt
3:35
Speaker 2: for the man accused of placing pipe bombs near the
3:37
Speaker 2: DC offices for the Democratic and Republican National Committees. We
3:41
Speaker 2: covered this story extensively over the years. He was captured
3:46
Speaker 2: this morning. That suspect in our very own Melanie Alwicks.
3:48
Speaker 2: She's been following the investigation since it started. Mel what
3:52
Speaker 2: can you tell us about this breaking news.
3:56
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, we should make it clear that
3:58
Speaker 3: this information is based on a law enforcement source that
4:03
Speaker 3: spoke to the Associated Press. We do not have official
4:06
Speaker 3: confirmation on this directly from the FBI at this point.
4:10
Speaker 3: But you know, this investigation has been going on for
4:12
Speaker 3: five years. It recently gained a lot of new attention,
4:16
Speaker 3: new eyes, new steam from social media, a lot of
4:19
Speaker 3: people talking about this because of new video, new information
4:24
Speaker 3: that the FBI put out in October of this year.
4:27
Speaker 3: Let's show you that video and again talk about some
4:30
Speaker 3: of the additional details that we had not learned before.
4:33
Speaker 3: A detailed description revealing the suspect is about five foot seven,
4:37
Speaker 3: was wearing a face mask, a gray hooded sweatshirt, and
4:39
Speaker 3: black gloves. The suspect used a backpack to transport the devices,
4:43
Speaker 3: and a lot of attention to this wearing distinctive Nike
4:46
Speaker 3: Airmac Speed turf shoes which are black and gray with
4:50
Speaker 3: the yellow Nike logo, and the FBI said fewer than
4:53
Speaker 3: twenty five thousand of these shoes were sold between August
4:56
Speaker 3: of twenty eighteen and January of twenty twenty one, so
4:59
Speaker 3: that really help them narrow down the field. Now, the
5:02
Speaker 3: first pipe bomb was placed outside the Democratic National Committee
5:05
Speaker 3: headquarters at seven fifty four pm on the evening of
5:09
Speaker 3: January fifth, twenty twenty one. The suspect is seen on
5:12
Speaker 3: surveillance cameras walking along North Capitol Street, North Carolina Avenue,
5:16
Speaker 3: and Second Street before eventually walking past the Republican National
5:20
Speaker 3: Committee headquarters at eight eighteen pm. The FBI says the
5:23
Speaker 3: second pipe bomb was placed sometime after that, but the
5:26
Speaker 3: suspect was not directly seen on video with the second
5:30
Speaker 3: pipe bomb placing. Now, nobody was hurt. The FBI said
5:33
Speaker 3: that these pipe bombs were rendered safe, but they certainly
5:36
Speaker 3: could both have been lethal. There was a five hundred
5:39
Speaker 3: thousand dollars reward offered for information leading to an arrest
5:43
Speaker 3: and conviction in this case, and we do expect to
5:45
Speaker 3: learn more later today.
5:48
Speaker 1: Now you can hear how the media is even shocked,
5:51
Speaker 1: and I play for you the local media sometimes just
5:53
Speaker 1: to prove the point of what this should sound like.
5:56
Speaker 1: And the media is obviously asking questions like why did
5:59
Speaker 1: it so long and how did it now happen? With
6:04
Speaker 1: Republicans in charge, people like Dan Bongino and the FBI
6:09
Speaker 1: Director Cash Ptel and President Donald Trump, were they purposely
6:14
Speaker 1: deliberately looking the other way. Dan Bongino coming out and
6:19
Speaker 1: saying this at the press conference about it, take a listen.
6:22
Speaker 4: Thank you all for being here for this critical investigation
6:25
Speaker 4: we've been working on for a very long time. We
6:27
Speaker 4: deeply appreciate it. Thank you for the kind words, Attorney
6:30
Speaker 4: General and Director. I appreciate it.
6:33
Speaker 5: Folks.
6:34
Speaker 4: This is what it's like when you work for a
6:35
Speaker 4: president who tells you to go get the bad guys
6:37
Speaker 4: and stop focusing on other extraneous things not related to
6:40
Speaker 4: law enforcement. This is what happens. We had a great team.
6:44
Speaker 4: I know it's said a lot in this business. It
6:46
Speaker 4: was a team effort. Becomes cliche, but cliches are useful
6:49
Speaker 4: for a reason because they matter, and this was a
6:51
Speaker 4: team effort. The Director and the Attorney General emphasized that
6:55
Speaker 4: it was not a new public tip.
6:57
Speaker 5: This came from.
6:57
Speaker 4: This was our internal work at the FBI, and I
7:01
Speaker 4: want to just really express my sincere gratitude to this
7:05
Speaker 4: Attorney General and this president for allowing.
7:08
Speaker 5: Us the latitude.
7:09
Speaker 4: I spoke with Miss Bondi very early when we maybe
7:12
Speaker 4: day two, and I said we're going to get this guy,
7:15
Speaker 4: and she said, as you are, and we did. I
7:18
Speaker 4: want also thank you, not here, but Deputy Attorney General
7:21
Speaker 4: Todd Blanche, who we deal with often as well, who
7:23
Speaker 4: could not have been more supportive whatever process we need,
7:27
Speaker 4: Judge Janine Todd and an Attorney General Bondi, they were there.
7:32
Speaker 4: All you had to do. They were a phone call
7:34
Speaker 4: away and their team was amazing. We actually never had
7:36
Speaker 4: to make that phone call because they were always responsive.
7:39
Speaker 4: Thank you, Judge, as while you were amazing folks, You're
7:42
Speaker 4: not going to walk into our capital city, put down
7:47
Speaker 4: two explosive devices and walk off in the sunset. Not
7:51
Speaker 4: going to happen. We were going to track this person
7:54
Speaker 4: to the end of the earth. There was no way
7:56
Speaker 4: he was getting away. Well we didn't have to track
7:59
Speaker 4: him to the end of the earth. That wound up
8:00
Speaker 4: in Woodbridge, Virginia. I want to thank the team. They
8:04
Speaker 4: were amazing. They never let this go again. Attorney General
8:09
Speaker 4: Bondi for your incredible support. Director Patel, Judge, I know
8:14
Speaker 4: they're giving me a lot of unnecessary credit, but make
8:16
Speaker 4: no mistake, they were intimately involved in this and were
8:19
Speaker 4: there for all of those supportive mechanisms, and I deeply
8:23
Speaker 4: appreciate it.
8:24
Speaker 1: You listen to Dan Bongino and what he had to say.
8:28
Speaker 1: He's telling you, if you're a criminal, things are different.
8:31
Speaker 1: There's a new sheriff in town, there's literally a new president,
8:34
Speaker 1: there's new leadership in cash Pattel, and we will go
8:37
Speaker 1: to the inns the earth, even though we didn't have
8:39
Speaker 1: to this time to find you, but to say so
8:42
Speaker 1: clearly that you're not going to come into our nation's
8:44
Speaker 1: capital and you're not going to put down two bombs
8:48
Speaker 1: and get away with it, which again brings up the question,
8:54
Speaker 1: what the hell was the prior administration doing? How did
8:59
Speaker 1: they not know who the person was? How did they
9:03
Speaker 1: not go arrest this person at police? Not one but
9:06
Speaker 1: two pipe bombs explosives internation's capital. This is the question
9:12
Speaker 1: that every American should be asking. And if they're not
9:15
Speaker 1: going to get a guy that puts a pipe bomb
9:17
Speaker 1: in our nation's capital, not once, but twice, who else
9:21
Speaker 1: were they not arresting? Who else has been out there
9:25
Speaker 1: committing Hanus crimes and hurting Americans all because the prior
9:29
Speaker 1: administration refused to do their job. That is what should
9:34
Speaker 1: make every American angry. Forget politics, This is an issue
9:38
Speaker 1: of national security. And what you saw from this administration
9:43
Speaker 1: is they said, hey, we still care about that crime.
9:46
Speaker 1: We're not going to let this stand. We're going to
9:49
Speaker 1: find the person. And that's exactly what they've done. He
9:54
Speaker 1: is the man in charge the FBI, the Attorney General
9:56
Speaker 1: Pambondi and Judge Janine both standing side by side of
10:00
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice as they announce the arrest of
10:03
Speaker 1: the pipe bomb suspect. You have to ask yourself, why
10:06
Speaker 1: did it take literally years for someone to do their job.
10:10
Speaker 1: I want you to listen to what Casptel had to
10:12
Speaker 1: say his words, and again, I played for you first
10:16
Speaker 1: because I wanted you to understand what the people working
10:18
Speaker 1: under him feel like when it comes to actually getting
10:22
Speaker 1: to do their job. You heard it there from Dan Bongino,
10:26
Speaker 1: But the man in charge of the FBI.
10:28
Speaker 5: Listen to what he says.
10:30
Speaker 6: When you attack American citizens, when you attack our institutions
10:34
Speaker 6: of legislation, when you attack our nation's capital, you attack
10:39
Speaker 6: the very being of our way of life. In this
10:42
Speaker 6: FBI and this Department of Justice stand here to tell
10:45
Speaker 6: you that we will always refute it and combat it.
10:48
Speaker 6: We will provide the safest country the nation has ever
10:51
Speaker 6: seen under President Trump's leadership here and that's what we
10:54
Speaker 6: did here today with great resolve on a case of
10:56
Speaker 6: massive public importance, as it should be. An individual who's
10:59
Speaker 6: now ledge to have placed multiple explosive devices to blow
11:03
Speaker 6: up multiple people at multiple officials, innocent civilians, is now arrested.
11:09
Speaker 6: Thanks to the brave men and women of the FBI
11:11
Speaker 6: and the Inner Agency. I want to take a moment
11:14
Speaker 6: to thank the Metropolitan Police Department, the United States Capitol Police,
11:18
Speaker 6: our brave prosecutors, the Department of Justice, and our leader,
11:21
Speaker 6: Attorney General Pambondi and US Attorney Janine Piro, whose relentless
11:25
Speaker 6: work on this case made this possible. As the Attorney
11:29
Speaker 6: General said, we did not discover any new information. What
11:33
Speaker 6: we did an investigation spearheaded by the Deputy Director and
11:37
Speaker 6: the adic of our Washington Field office, brought in a
11:40
Speaker 6: new team of investigators and experts, re examined every piece
11:43
Speaker 6: of evidence, sifted through all the data, something that the
11:47
Speaker 6: prior administration refused and failed to do. As a result
11:51
Speaker 6: of that, we generated numerous investigative leads, executed multiple legal
11:56
Speaker 6: process with their US attorney partners.
11:58
Speaker 1: Let me just hit pause there. Did you notice what
12:01
Speaker 1: cash Patel said? He said that, in essence, the last
12:04
Speaker 1: administration didn't even try, didn't even actually work hard on
12:11
Speaker 1: the leads. Now, if you're if this is some petty
12:14
Speaker 1: crime and you're saying, hey, I just can't do this
12:17
Speaker 1: because it's petty and I don't have time and we've
12:19
Speaker 1: got other major crimes that we're having to figure out, okay,
12:23
Speaker 1: you could have that conversation.
12:25
Speaker 5: You could have that argument.
12:26
Speaker 1: You could say, look, there's other things like I got
12:28
Speaker 1: to solve a murder over here that take precedent. That's
12:32
Speaker 1: not the case. The case here is pretty damn clear.
12:37
Speaker 1: You have an individual that goes into our nation's capital
12:40
Speaker 1: and sets down two bombs. They could have killed countless
12:45
Speaker 1: innocent people. And what did they do under the prior administration?
12:50
Speaker 5: Nothing?
12:51
Speaker 1: They just stopped caring, or no, let me rephrase that.
12:55
Speaker 1: It sounds like they didn't care at all. Forget stop caring.
13:00
Speaker 1: They never even tried, right, they never even tried. And
13:07
Speaker 1: I think that is the part that is so shocking
13:10
Speaker 1: here is that it was just like who cares?
13:14
Speaker 5: Now? Is that because they knew who he was.
13:17
Speaker 1: Is that because they didn't have a problem with it
13:19
Speaker 1: because they set a pipe bomb at the Republican National Committee,
13:23
Speaker 1: did they not care because they were in theory this
13:26
Speaker 1: probably would have blown up a bunch of conservatives that
13:31
Speaker 1: showed up on the you know, January sixth, Nation's capital, right,
13:34
Speaker 1: and that was maybe the target. So they're like, look, hey,
13:38
Speaker 1: this was literally a guy targeting Trump's supporters.
13:41
Speaker 5: So that's why we're okay with it.
13:45
Speaker 1: There's a lot of questions here that should be answered.
13:51
Speaker 1: Why did our government not accidentally felt deliberately stopped trying
13:57
Speaker 1: to find someone that did what I just described. That
14:02
Speaker 1: is the question that everyone should be asking, and that's
14:05
Speaker 1: the question that everyone should be angry over.
14:08
Speaker 5: Now.
14:09
Speaker 1: I want you to keep listening to the FBI director
14:11
Speaker 1: and I want you to hear what he has to
14:13
Speaker 1: say on the second half of this as he's talking
14:15
Speaker 1: about how frustrated he is, as he should be like
14:19
Speaker 1: this is if you're in law enforcement, you should be
14:22
Speaker 1: enraged that you know that law that your government purposely failed.
14:29
Speaker 1: You deliberately chose to look the other way, deliberately chose
14:35
Speaker 1: to stop trying to find a individual that put pipe bomps,
14:40
Speaker 1: and we don't know what the hell else is the
14:41
Speaker 1: guy did in the meantime. We don't know what he
14:44
Speaker 1: did in the last three or four years. We have
14:46
Speaker 1: no idea. Keep listening.
14:48
Speaker 6: It's incredible and came to this conclusion today, and that
14:53
Speaker 6: is why we were able to safely secure this individual
14:57
Speaker 6: into custody. Remember, we were dealing with an individual who's
15:01
Speaker 6: alleged to have made bombs. We cannot do this sort
15:04
Speaker 6: of takedown in haste because it endangers the lives of
15:08
Speaker 6: law enforcement, and this FBI will never allow the lives
15:11
Speaker 6: of law enforcement and our prosecutors to be put in jeopardy.
15:15
Speaker 6: This execution was flawless in terms of teamwork, resilience, and
15:20
Speaker 6: just a good old fashioned way of police getting the
15:24
Speaker 6: job done. When you let good cops be cops, this
15:27
Speaker 6: is what happens. I'm eternally grateful to the team behind me,
15:31
Speaker 6: to the leadership at the FBI who made this possible.
15:35
Speaker 6: But I do want to highlight when I introduced the
15:37
Speaker 6: deputy he made this case and so many others, including
15:40
Speaker 6: summer heat, his priority to come in here and solve
15:44
Speaker 6: it for the American people. And today I'm proud to
15:47
Speaker 6: stay in here before you and say we solved it.
15:50
Speaker 5: He will have his day in court.
15:52
Speaker 6: The American public and the world will learn even more
15:54
Speaker 6: information through the legal process. As we have committed under
15:58
Speaker 6: this Attorney General, we are the most transparent law enforcement
16:01
Speaker 6: operation in US history. But we are also going to
16:04
Speaker 6: make sure accountability is delivered to its fullest extent, and
16:07
Speaker 6: that happens in the courts of law with our US
16:09
Speaker 6: attorneys and our prosecutors. So we will divulge information when
16:13
Speaker 6: it is prudent and constitutionally permissible, while upholding the safeguards
16:16
Speaker 6: of this case to make sure that the people that
16:19
Speaker 6: this individual intended to victimize get the accountability to deserve,
16:24
Speaker 6: and most importantly, to deliver in President Trump's promise to
16:27
Speaker 6: secure our nation's capital and the rest of the cities
16:29
Speaker 6: in this country, to make sure that Americans are allowed
16:33
Speaker 6: to go out free and securely in their neighborhoods, and
16:35
Speaker 6: that people around the world are allowed to visit our
16:38
Speaker 6: nation's capital, and they now have that trust.
16:41
Speaker 1: This should never have become a political thing.
16:46
Speaker 5: Why is it?
16:47
Speaker 1: Because Democrats refuse to do what the law says when
16:51
Speaker 1: it comes to law and order. They pick winners and losers.
16:55
Speaker 1: If you're one of their favorites, you can commit a
16:59
Speaker 1: crime and they don't care. The FBI Director Cash Mattel
17:04
Speaker 1: and Deputy Director Dan Bongino, they are looking at this
17:08
Speaker 1: and they are furious. It's unprecedented what we have witnessed
17:13
Speaker 1: and now what we know. It is shocking to realize
17:18
Speaker 1: just how bad the FBI was run under the prior administration.
17:25
Speaker 1: The question that I think everyone should be asking is
17:28
Speaker 1: number one, what did they know? And why did they
17:32
Speaker 1: not pursue it? Why did they just give up? Why
17:36
Speaker 1: did they just look the other way. I would even
17:40
Speaker 1: take it a step further and say, why did they
17:43
Speaker 1: help this guy stay free for so many years when
17:46
Speaker 1: he was a threat to society, a threat to all
17:50
Speaker 1: of us, by the ways, a.
17:51
Speaker 5: Threat to Democrats.
17:52
Speaker 1: When a bomb goes off, it doesn't say are your
17:54
Speaker 1: Republican or Democrat? It doesn't say who did you vote for?
17:58
Speaker 1: When a bomb goes off. Let's go back to the
18:00
Speaker 1: Boston bombing and the marathon. They don't care. It doesn't
18:04
Speaker 1: care if you're young. It doesn't care if you're old.
18:08
Speaker 1: It doesn't care if you're black or white. It doesn't
18:12
Speaker 1: care if you're Democrat. Or Republican. It doesn't care when
18:16
Speaker 1: the bomb goes off. Innocent people die, and this administration,
18:21
Speaker 1: for some reason, or I should say the prior administration,
18:24
Speaker 1: the Biden administration, said no, no, we're going to play politics
18:27
Speaker 1: because that's more important than anything else, and that is.
18:30
Speaker 5: Sick as it gets.
18:33
Speaker 1: We're getting more information about exactly what happened with the
18:37
Speaker 1: DC pipe bomber and how he was finally arrested, and
18:41
Speaker 1: we're also learning the shocking news that there was no
18:44
Speaker 1: new tip that came in that caused the arrest to happen.
18:47
Speaker 1: It was actually just information that hadn't been pursued or
18:52
Speaker 1: information that hadn't been put together with evidence by the
18:56
Speaker 1: prior administration and the FBI. What we now know is
19:01
Speaker 1: there's a man that's been charged for planting explosive devices
19:05
Speaker 1: outside the RNC and the DNC on January the fifth
19:08
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one. And the only reason why we
19:12
Speaker 1: know who he is now is because Donald Trump and
19:15
Speaker 1: the men and women who put in charge of the
19:17
Speaker 1: FBI and the DOJ are now able to do their
19:20
Speaker 1: jobs the right way, which is law enforcement work in
19:23
Speaker 1: fighting crime. The Attorney General, Pam Bondi putting it this way.
19:28
Speaker 7: Early this morning, Brian Cole Junior was arrested and charged
19:33
Speaker 7: with placing the pipe bombs at the RNC and the
19:37
Speaker 7: DNC on January fifth, twenty twenty one. He has been
19:42
Speaker 7: charged with violating eighteen USC. Eight forty four, which is
19:46
Speaker 7: use of an explosive device. This investigation is ongoing as
19:52
Speaker 7: we speak, Search warrants are being executed, and there could
19:56
Speaker 7: be more charges to come. Today's arrest happened because as
20:00
Speaker 7: the Trump administration has made this case a priority, the
20:05
Speaker 7: total lack of movement on this case in our nation's
20:10
Speaker 7: capital undermined the public trust of our enforcement agencies. This
20:17
Speaker 7: cold case languished for four years until Director Patel and
20:24
Speaker 7: Deputy Director Bongino came to the FBI. The FBI, along
20:30
Speaker 7: with US Attorney Piro and all of our prosecutors, have
20:34
Speaker 7: worked tirelessly for months sifting through evidence that had been
20:41
Speaker 7: sitting at the FBI with the Biden administration.
20:45
Speaker 5: For four long years.
20:48
Speaker 7: Let me be clear, there was no new tip, there
20:51
Speaker 7: was no new witness, just good diligent police work and
20:56
Speaker 7: prosecutorial work working as a team along with atf Capitol Police,
21:02
Speaker 7: Metropolitan Police Department, and of course, the FBI, we are
21:08
Speaker 7: working every day to restore the public's trust. We hope
21:13
Speaker 7: that today is a significant step towards that progress. We'll
21:18
Speaker 7: share more information when when we can and when it unfolds.
21:23
Speaker 7: I cannot stress enough how hard Director Patel and Deputy
21:28
Speaker 7: Director Bongino have worked for months to make our nation's
21:33
Speaker 7: capital safer and to make our country safer.
21:37
Speaker 1: You listen to Pam Bondi in what she had to
21:40
Speaker 1: say there, it's truly incredible that there was no new
21:44
Speaker 1: information that actually led to this arrest. Cash Battel saying
21:49
Speaker 1: this as well on TV in an interview.
21:52
Speaker 8: So there's been some uncertainty, you know, certainly online, so
21:56
Speaker 8: I don't know what's real and what's not. Sometimes it's
21:58
Speaker 8: a little hard to follow on and when these devices
22:00
Speaker 8: were actually planted. Does this arrest crystallize the timeline at
22:05
Speaker 8: all in terms of, you know, the sequence of events
22:07
Speaker 8: that's sort of been up in the air again, you know,
22:09
Speaker 8: especially online.
22:11
Speaker 5: It absolutely does.
22:12
Speaker 6: And I don't want to get ahead of the Department
22:13
Speaker 6: of Justice, but you're going to see a crystal clear
22:15
Speaker 6: timeline and picture in the next twenty four hours when
22:18
Speaker 6: this individual makes his presentment. And first appearance in court,
22:21
Speaker 6: and we proceed with the paperwork to his arraignment. That's
22:24
Speaker 6: where key pieces of information are going to be made
22:27
Speaker 6: public for the first time, because that's where key pieces
22:29
Speaker 6: of information legally must be made public for the first time.
22:32
Speaker 6: And we're not going to disrupt that process because that
22:34
Speaker 6: would hurt the integrity of investigation and most importantly, would
22:37
Speaker 6: hurt the integrity of the prosecution that's upcoming.
22:40
Speaker 1: You listen to Cash Battel, and what he's saying is
22:43
Speaker 1: you're getting transparency. He also made it clear and this
22:47
Speaker 1: is a Cash Betel tweet. When Dan Bond, Geno and
22:49
Speaker 1: I came to the FBI in March, the pipe bomb
22:52
Speaker 1: investigation be installed for going on five years. We rebuilt
22:57
Speaker 1: it from scratch, rerunning every lead, testing every piece of evidence,
23:02
Speaker 1: bring in top experts, and deploying new technology to engineer
23:05
Speaker 1: the break that finally nailed the suspect. Today is result
23:10
Speaker 1: of that outstanding work. We didn't need new evidence, just
23:14
Speaker 1: new leaders and a new President Trump willing to let
23:18
Speaker 1: good cops be cops. This goes exactly back to that principle.
23:25
Speaker 1: The President of United States of America chose people to
23:28
Speaker 1: put in positions of power that understand exactly what they
23:33
Speaker 1: needed to do, which was go after the bad guys,
23:36
Speaker 1: arrest them, and make sure that men and women are safe.
23:40
Speaker 1: And finally, even Judge Janine said the DC pipe bomber
23:45
Speaker 1: was quiet. She also revealed insight into his low key
23:48
Speaker 1: personal life, saying, federal authorities say they found bomb making
23:52
Speaker 1: materials in the suspect's home. The US Attorney for the
23:57
Speaker 1: District of Columbia, Judge Janine revealing all of this after
24:02
Speaker 1: it was announced the indictment. Federal authorities arresting that thirty
24:06
Speaker 1: year old of Virginia Thursday morning, And yet again she
24:10
Speaker 1: re emphasized this important point that this was after a
24:14
Speaker 1: nearly five year long pause in essence of the investigation,
24:18
Speaker 1: involving millions of pieces of data. Now we have him,
24:23
Speaker 1: and Americans can sleep a little better knowing that the
24:26
Speaker 1: DC Pipe Bomber is behind bars. Operation Overlord the D

25:45
Speaker 1: Court handing Donald Trump a massive victory when it comes
25:50
Speaker 1: to redistricting in Texas, a sweeping legal and political victory
25:56
Speaker 1: with big implications for the twenty twenty six midterms and
26:00
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty eight presidential election cycle. Now the left
26:05
Speaker 1: lost their minds over what Texas was doing with redistricting,
26:09
Speaker 1: and they decided to sue.
26:11
Speaker 5: Well, guess what.
26:12
Speaker 1: The Supreme Court delivered a significant victory for not only
26:16
Speaker 1: the president of the United States of America, but also
26:19
Speaker 1: for states rights, ruling to affirm the Texas congressional redistricting map.
26:25
Speaker 1: The decision effectively upholds the state's current district lines, rejecting
26:30
Speaker 1: efforts to overturn them by the radical left, and giving
26:34
Speaker 1: Republicans a clear path to maintain and potentially even expand
26:39
Speaker 1: their political advantage in one of the nation's largest and
26:43
Speaker 1: fastest growing states, which is extremely important for controlling Congress
26:48
Speaker 1: and also the White House. Let me talk to you
26:51
Speaker 1: about the takeaways. Number one, Not only was this a
26:55
Speaker 1: massive win for Trump in the election strategy, but the
26:58
Speaker 1: ruling validate it's the same redistricting principles that Trump and
27:02
Speaker 1: the GOP leaders have defended for years, that state sovereignty,
27:07
Speaker 1: constitutional authority, and legislature's power to draw maps without federal interference.
27:14
Speaker 1: The second victory here was GOP's strength in the critical
27:19
Speaker 1: battleground for the country. The upheld map solidifies not only
27:23
Speaker 1: Republican advantages in multiple key districts, protecting the gains that
27:28
Speaker 1: have been made under President Trump's leadership in san the
27:30
Speaker 1: stage for even stronger conservative performance In twenty twenty six
27:36
Speaker 1: and twenty twenty eight, the Court rejected the challenge that
27:40
Speaker 1: could have undone years of GOP progress. By refusing to
27:44
Speaker 1: strite down the Texas Map, the court shut down a
27:47
Speaker 1: major legal challenge that could have unraveled Republican leaning districts
27:51
Speaker 1: across the state. Now this ensures political stability and predictability
27:56
Speaker 1: and continuity for the next several election cycles. It also
28:01
Speaker 1: reinforces the constitutional vision the Trumpet champion and what he
28:05
Speaker 1: ran on. The majority opinion signal strong support for the
28:10
Speaker 1: constitutional framework Conservatives have been defending states, not Washington bureaucrats
28:15
Speaker 1: or activist groups control the redistricting. It's also just a
28:20
Speaker 1: huge momentum boost for Texas Republicans. With the map locked in,
28:25
Speaker 1: Republican tenets can now run confidently and aggressively, knowing the
28:30
Speaker 1: courts will not be used to undermine their districts. This
28:34
Speaker 1: ruling effectively gives a GOP a green light to build
28:37
Speaker 1: even bigger majorities. And then there's the political impact. Not
28:41
Speaker 1: only does the strengthen Trump's national influence, but it also
28:45
Speaker 1: provides again for his judicial legacy in shaping the country.
28:50
Speaker 1: It also secures Texas as a GOP fortress, which is
28:54
Speaker 1: extremely important when it comes to presidential election and making
28:58
Speaker 1: Democrats pick up efforts even harder than before. It also
29:03
Speaker 1: boosts fundraising and kennet recruitment since the districts are now
29:07
Speaker 1: stable and also favorable. It eliminates uncertainty that could have
29:11
Speaker 1: disrupted campaigns heading into the midterms as well that was
29:15
Speaker 1: part of the Democratic strategy of chaos, and it affirms
29:19
Speaker 1: conservative legal arguments on separation of powers and states' rights.
29:25
Speaker 1: The bottom line is the Supreme Court didn't just hand
29:27
Speaker 1: Texas Republicans a win. It delivered one of the most
29:31
Speaker 1: consequential redistricting victories of the decade, reinforcing President Trump's long
29:37
Speaker 1: term political strategy and submitting Conservatives control in the country's
29:42
Speaker 1: most important red state. This is a massive victory for
29:47
Speaker 1: President Trump and for the rule of law and states rights.
