This is what happens when the 4th Turning meets 5th Generation Warfare. A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran, Jack Posobiec, joins host Jack to discuss the recent arrest of a Black male suspect in connection with the DNC and Republican National Committee mail bomb attacks.
00:04:53.760Number one, Brian Cole is an asset or a source for either the FBI or other law enforcement agency.
00:05:01.220Or two, the fact that he is a young black male, potentially with ties to Antifa, Black Lives Matter, other leftist movement organizations.
00:05:10.740The arrest of either one of those, say, April of 2021, would have completely decimated the developing January 6th insurrection narrative at the time and contradicted Chris Wray's claims about a white supremacist domestic terror attack on January 6th.
00:05:29.740So, the issue then, you think, and this is my biggest issue, is because it hurts the narrative.
00:05:39.440You've got this guy who's an African-American.
00:05:42.580You've got this guy whose motive seems very shaky.
00:05:47.800Yesterday, now CNN is trying to say that he's some kind of MAGA person, but I want to dig into some of the questions about that who didn't, you know, who believe that the election was stolen because it doesn't quite seem to line up.
00:05:58.680But it's very clear that this would have created problems for the Biden administration's narrative about January 6th either way, wouldn't it, Julie?
00:06:07.240And keep in mind, too, that Chris Wray was adamant, even in February, March of 2021, that Antifa played no role in the events of January 6th.
00:06:17.880That was a suspicion of the president and others that had been expressed by the president that this was Antifa.
00:06:24.340There were J-6ers who were absolutely insistent that they saw Antifa there.
00:06:30.000We now see video recordings of Antifa on the Capitol complex that afternoon.
00:06:37.800So if this individual is tied to Antifa, that would have been highly problematic for the FBI director, who was insistent, even under congressional, during congressional testimony, that Antifa was not involved in any way, shape or form in the events of January 6th.
00:06:54.000And, of course, we knew from the start that it seemed as though information would be available.
00:07:00.900We pointed out all of the cameras that are around there, you, Darren Beattie, so many others.
00:07:06.120And so we're going to dig into all that.
00:07:07.980We've got more time coming up in the next block with Julie Kelly here on Human Events Daily.
00:07:12.560And in our way in our golden age has just begun.
00:07:22.100This is Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:07:23.880Now it's time for everyone to understand what America First truly means.
00:07:28.580Welcome to the second American Revolution.
00:07:32.960All right, Jack Posobiec, we are back now live with Julie Kelly, and Julie has the author of Declassified Investigative Journalist.
00:07:44.920Julie, you've got a piece up today at American Greatness, or excuse me, it's an older piece from American Greatness that you're re-upping.
00:07:52.520We were talking about the Fed napping plots that the FBI was up to throughout 2020.
00:08:01.900They were using people to pose essentially as MAGA supporters or anti-government types to then get people to try and commit crimes against political officials.
00:08:13.480Julie, why did you re-up that today, talking about informants, undercovers, federal handlers, FBI handlers, those types of things?
00:08:22.200Well, look at what the FBI was up to in 2020.
00:08:24.720And this kind of like popped in my head as I was reading the complaint yesterday against Mr. Cole, and that his purchase of these bomb components stretched over months, really over a year.
00:08:37.060I think the first purchase allegedly was late 2019.
00:08:40.980Well, what was happening throughout 2020?
00:08:48.540Dozens of FBI informants, handling agents, undercover agents, set out to purposely entrap these men in Michigan, make it look like right-wing militia men supportive of Donald Trump were trying to kidnap and kill Gretchen Whitmer.
00:09:03.020What most people aren't aware of is during the trial that a second plot by the same FBI, the same main confidential human source informant, was also trying to do the same thing to at least one man in Virginia and trying to get him to execute the same sort of plot against Ralph Northam.
00:09:25.460And a lot of that involved advising this man how to build explosives.
00:09:32.480So is this a huge reach to believe that maybe this individual who seemed like kind of a loner, there's a lot of reporting on him, whether he's a left winger, whether he was just a loner, whether he was into some weird stuff that gets the attention of law enforcement.
00:09:55.460Because that's what we know all Chris Ray's FBI was doing throughout 2020, the Whitmer Fednapping, the Northam Fednapping, embedding informants in the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers trying to gin up all these inflammatory group texts that were later used as evidence against them in their J-6 trials.
00:10:14.540And then, of course, the setup of January 6th itself.
00:10:18.020So I guess this is where my thought process is right now.
00:10:24.460But given what we know the Chris Ray FBI was doing in 2020, is it possible that this Brian Cole is somehow associated with the FBI or law enforcement?
00:10:35.520And, Jack, that's why this case went completely cold as of March 2021, despite all the evidence that they had already collected?
00:10:44.160I mean, you have Stephen de Antoine, who was head of the Washington FBI field office, told Congress that, you know, kind of after February 2021, interest lagged off and they were on to other things.
00:11:01.560Did they know that he was the hoodie guy?
00:11:03.880And did they bury it because it would have completely undermined the insurrection narrative or certainly exposed him as some sort of law enforcement asset?
00:11:13.640Well, here's what I keep asking when because I see CNN and MSNBC and last question, they're trying to spread this narrative.
00:11:25.680He believed that the election was stolen.
00:11:29.060Yet if that were true, why is he buying all of this material for these for these pipe bombs long before the election of 2020?
00:11:37.580Like, like, like in one case, I think over a year before.
00:11:40.300Well, if he was a MAGA supporter and thought the election was stolen, why wasn't he there on January 6th instead of January 5th when the protests were underway?
00:11:53.880Yeah, a criminal defense attorney for J6ers texted me this morning and said, you know, he if he says he was a MAGA person or election denier, he's thinking he's going to be covered by the president's executive order.
00:12:36.140Anyone who knows me and knows the work that Human Events Daily does day in and day out and knows that the conservative movement never stops and the fuel that keeps me and this show going is blackout coffee.

00:13:45.120All right, we're digging through more of this.
00:13:47.520The affidavit didn't come out during the show yesterday, so we didn't have the opportunity to be able to present that to you on the program.
00:13:55.640More information has come out on the individual, his family, which has deep ties to Black Lives Matter.
00:14:00.700And one of the top lawyers of Black Lives Matter, also deep ties to the photo of the individual, Brian Colt Jr., also the fact that his father's business, his father's law firm, was involved in suing the Trump administration for ICE and ICE allegations.
00:14:17.480Again, just doesn't really line up with someone you would expect to be a MAGA supporter.
00:14:23.900I want to bring on Tommy Stevenson now, who is a politics editor over at the Post Millennial, to dig through some of this affidavit with us.
00:14:34.360So, Tommy, walk us through, just in a summary, what was this information that AG Panbondi said was sitting on the shelf collecting dust?
00:14:43.640How was it that they were able to identify and then make the steps that led to the arrest of Brian Colt?
00:14:49.580So, they started back with all the tips and information that the FBI had on Brian Colt, or not Brian Colt necessarily, but all the tips that they had leading up to the investigation from the previous administration.
00:15:05.300They went through everything else, basically from the beginning.
00:15:09.200And then after going through millions of data points, they were able to identify the different cell phone data.
00:15:16.060That's really how they identified Colt as the suspect of him going to the area near the Capitol on January 5th, and then also combining that with his credit card transactions for repurchase stuff, going all the way back to 2019 to make these pipe bombs.
00:15:36.780Well, and that's what was so confusing to me, because what's interesting is when I keep looking at these MSNBC, the CNN articles that are out today, this new narrative, oh, he's MAGA, he's MAGA.
00:15:55.460Julie Kelly was just on asking questions about that.
00:15:57.800If he believed the election was stolen, why wasn't he there on January 6th?
00:16:00.780If he believed the, if he's saying he's MAGA, or, you know, he believed that, is it a play to get him a pardon or get him covered by the blanket pardon from President Trump, you know, ex post facto, or, you know, or something to do with that?
00:16:12.700But when it comes to it, you've got the affidavit there.
00:16:16.000Was he only purchasing these items, these precursors for pipe bombs, in the time between the election of November of 2020 and January 6th, 2021?
00:16:27.600So, no, it's a very drawn-out timeline.
00:16:36.500It looked like he was purchasing these items for a whole year previous to the election or previous to January 6th.
00:16:47.540And so when you look at the timeline, it just wouldn't make sense for his motive to be related to him thinking that the election was stolen,
00:16:55.600because if he was making the pipe bombs previous to that or getting the items necessary for it, the election hadn't even happened yet.
00:17:03.280So that narrative, how it's been leaking out to the press right now just doesn't make sense for a motive.
00:17:09.100The FBI hasn't identified any official motive yet, but we're still, they're still looking into those details and figuring out what exactly the motive was
00:17:19.120and everything that's been related to that.
00:17:25.080And so they're able to go through, they have the information of him purchasing, they tie that back to the credit card,
00:17:32.080and then with the credit card, they're able to also use to tie back to the cell phone.
00:17:36.520And just walk me through this, because I look at the affidavit, it says they have his cell phone going the exact same route as the pipe bomber on the evening of January 5th.
00:17:46.920And then they even have a photo of his actual car driving in the area on January 5th.
00:17:53.520Yeah, so they had, they were able to identify his license plate from that photo, and they gathered the cell phone data of him going around the Capitol building
00:18:07.560and then traveling back, because he still lives at his parents' house, I believe, in Woodbridge, Virginia.
00:18:14.360And he, from what the looks of it is, is that people that knew him or neighbors that were around there said that he was very recluse,
00:18:24.160didn't really get out that much except to walk his dog, and so, and then there were also some issues of, like, anarchist beliefs or writings.
00:18:34.660So, you don't really know exactly everything, or you don't really, you don't really know everything that led up to it.
00:18:44.260But the FBI was able to identify everything with the cell phone data, the car, because it was parked not far from the location of where the pipe was, right?
00:19:33.200He is the politics editor over at the Post Millennial.
00:19:36.240And we're digging into this strange story of the Jan 6 pipe bomber, everything that's come out from the affidavit.
00:19:43.280So, again, this information, when Dan Bongino, the deputy director, was talking about forensic information,
00:19:51.080you know, this wasn't some type of special information or special tip that just came in.
00:19:56.080This was basic cell phone data, the same type of cell phone data that the FBI used to make cases against 1,600 American patriots from January 6th.
00:20:07.560And yet, for some reason, the Chris Wray, Joe Biden, Merrick Garland, FBI, and DOJ excluded this one.
00:20:19.360They couldn't find this guy, even though he's the only one walking around where the pipe bomber we can see on the video is walking.
00:20:25.560And, in fact, it walks back to his car, and we see his car driving around.
00:20:29.320Something is wrong in Denmark, as they say.
00:20:35.080But, Tommy, I wanted to dig in with you a little bit more because when we look to these questions of motive, look to these questions of positioning,
00:20:43.000and we say, you know, sometimes you look into these guys and you say, okay, there's no political connections.
00:20:50.840Yet, right here, we see that he worked for his father at a bail bonds company who was involved in lawsuits and, in fact, was once represented, the father, by the Ben Crump himself,
00:21:10.540who was the number one lawyer of all of Black Lives Matter.
00:21:15.520What do we know about his father and about this bail bonds firm that he was working for?
00:21:21.680So his father, with the lawsuit, they had sued the Trump administration over, it was over illegal integration.
00:21:30.580And then they had also accused the, they also accused the administration of racism as well, his father had.
00:21:40.740And so you can kind of start to get a little bit of a picture with what his family was like, what he was like.
00:21:49.080I know he appeared in court today, and there were six members of the family that were there, and they were all, I mean, I can imagine if my family member was in court.
00:21:59.480But they were all very saddened by what was happening and what was going on.
00:22:04.700So it doesn't seem like he's estranged from this family.
00:22:07.140He was still living with his mother and his father.
00:22:08.880But there's definitely some connection, at least with the father, to the Black Lives Matter movement, to left-wing politics, with his dad.
00:22:19.940But right now, we just, with the motive, it hasn't been determined yet.
00:22:25.080But you can get an idea of where this guy was coming from.
00:22:29.740Yeah, again, I mean, it's something that just, it just jumps out at you.
00:22:33.900And as we used to say in the business, we would call that, using a technical term called a clue, that, and it's just, you go down the list.
00:22:43.880I just pulled this up as you were speaking, of various people that have been represented by Ben Crump.
00:22:49.140So George Floyd, literally George Floyd's lawyer, his family's lawyer, Jacob Blake from Kenosha, Wisconsin, who was the individual that the protests that led to Kyle Rittenhouse were taking place.
00:23:04.020Ahmed Arbery, the jogger in Texas, Michael Brown, yes, the Michael Brown from Ferguson, Missouri, Henrietta Lacks, Trayvon Martin, Tyree Nichols, Breonna Taylor, Duante Wright.
00:23:20.540He represents the estate of Malcolm X as well, and apparently is also the lawyer for the father of the accused DC pipe bomber.
00:23:31.100Now, look, you know, full disclaimer, right?
00:23:34.660You know, you have to always say that just because you see the connection does not prove that there's any causation.
00:23:40.100But this is an extremely high profile lawyer here.
00:23:43.860And at the very least, and I'm not, I'm not saying that he's involved with the bombing or something like that.
00:23:47.960But at the very least, it's hard to draw a line from someone who's at the very heart of Black Lives Matter to a Trump supporter.
00:23:56.720Yeah, and that's what they've been, you see the reports that are coming out now in the media that there are some that are claiming that he's a Trump supporter, citing anonymous sources.
00:24:09.560You also see the whole election, the election integrity issue that people are saying that he thought the election was rigged.
00:24:17.560But you also have, again, they were talking about how he had anarchist ideologies.
00:24:24.580And so it's hard to believe that this guy was just pure MAGA when he wasn't.
00:24:31.540He, I mean, he was at the Capitol trying to, if he, if he was there, I mean, he hasn't been convicted yet.
00:24:39.320But as a suspect in both trying to bomb the RNC and the DNC, so we just don't know at this point where he's coming from.
00:24:50.320But you get some clues from the anarchist ideologies as well as who he was connected to with his family and how his dad was represented by Trump.
00:25:00.000Right, and we've seen no more information on that as of yet.
00:25:06.600I think the father, the step, I believe there was a step-grandfather who gave a statement, people saying that, you know, they were, you know, they had seen the FBI, that they had seen the police.
00:25:15.860And there was a bit, actually, and you mentioned a little bit on it as well, where the neighbors had actually described him as being somewhat aloof, as being someone who was seen very, very insular, someone who was not very outgoing, someone who would walk the Chihuahua and they would see him but not make eye contact with anyone, wouldn't say hi to anyone.
00:25:36.900You know, again, it just really, really sparks to be someone who's potentially isolated, cut off a little bit other than this work for his father.
00:25:47.880There were, with the different details on his motive, it's just, FBI hasn't made any official determination yet.
00:25:58.360But you can certainly see that it's starting to draw a picture of where he came from.
00:26:04.380And then you can see, like, the different aspects of his family.
00:26:11.520I mean, you could imagine what he was thinking when he was going up to the Capitol building, because I think he drove back, like, that night, and they were able to trace that cell phone data as he was walking around the Capitol region.
00:26:26.860And then, then he was able to go back.
