00:03:29.860It really is shocking that it took this long to find someone that planted pipe bombs in Washington, D.C.
00:03:36.620It is very important that people understand this did not happen because of a new tip that came in to the FBI or into law enforcement anywhere.
00:03:46.380This was just going back and looking at the evidence they already had and doing real police work to figure it out.
00:03:54.300It is shocking that the prior administration did not apparently think this was an important enough issue.
00:04:02.860Yeah, the DOJ announced that during 2019 and 2020, coal purchased multiple components consistent with those used to manufacture the pipe bombs at several retailers in northern Virginia.
00:04:18.680And at approximately 1 p.m. on January 6th, multiple law enforcement agencies received notice of the pipe bombs.
00:04:25.860At about 1.15 p.m., the second pipe bomb was reported, the first one at the RNC, the second one at the DNC.
00:04:34.340Video surveillance determined that this same individual placed the devices the evening of January 5th.
00:04:41.880On January 5th, about 7.10 p.m., coal's Nissan Sentra was observed driving past a license plate reader at the South Capitol Street exit from I-35 South,
00:04:52.500which is less than a half mile from the location where the pipe bombs were.
00:04:56.600Cell phone records further show that coal's cell phone communicated with cell towers in the area of the RNC and DNC between 7.39 p.m. and 8.24 p.m.
00:05:08.440This evidence, there's no reason to think that this evidence wasn't in the possession of the FBI four and a half years ago.
00:05:21.100What the hell was the Biden DOJ doing?
00:05:23.840Well, I'll tell you what they were doing.
00:05:25.240They were chasing down every little old lady who stood on the National Mall and sang God Bless America.
00:05:31.080And they were persecuting them and trying to go after their political enemies instead of actually going after a violent criminal who planted pipe bombs that could have killed or injured a whole lot of people.
00:05:43.160You and I on this podcast repeatedly called on the Department of Justice, go and find and prosecute the pipe bomber.
00:05:51.480Now, look, at this point, we don't know full details about this individual, but he certainly does not appear to be a Trump supporter,
00:06:01.280which is, of course, what every reporter, what every media outlet blamed it on Trump supporters, these pipe bombs.
00:06:10.260And based on the early information, there are no indications that he was a Trump supporter.
00:06:14.860In fact, the early information is, and if it holds to be true, is a complete opposite of that, that this was a radical leftist.
00:06:54.840As we speak, search warrants are being executed, and there could be more charges to come.
00:07:01.200Today's arrest happened because the Trump administration has made this case a priority.
00:07:07.480The total lack of movement on this case, this cold case languished for four years until Director Patel and Deputy Director Bongino came to the FBI.
00:07:23.480The FBI, along with U.S. Attorney Pirro and all of our prosecutors, have worked tirelessly for months sifting through evidence that had been sitting at the FBI with the Biden administration for four long years.
00:07:42.920Let me be clear, there was no new tip, there was no new witness, just good, diligent police work and prosecutorial work.
00:07:53.680You listen to Pam Bondi there, Senator, and it is clear she's angry and Americans should be angry.
00:08:02.000They just took what they had and did their job.
00:08:04.660Well, and I'll tell you, Merrick Garland needs to be held accountable and answer the question why, if they had this evidence, this individual wasn't arrested and wasn't prosecuted.
00:08:15.540Chris Wray, the former Director of the FBI, needs to answer that same question because it certainly appears that the Biden DOJ did not want to find this individual.
00:08:27.060And when they were asked about it before, they would just throw up their hands and say, we're doing the best we can.
00:08:33.560It turns out when you actually have an attorney general who is focused on going after the bad guys, that's exactly what you do.
00:08:40.680Senator, I want to also just go back to echoing the part that you mentioned there about Pam Bondi and she's angry.
00:08:47.100Dan Bongino came out saying very much the same thing.
00:08:50.180And I want to play it for everybody because when he came out, not only was he saying, hey, I want to say thank you to everybody on this team because this was teamwork, but this was also a moment where we just decided to do our jobs.
00:09:03.700And when you let law enforcement do their jobs, these are the types of results that you get.
00:09:09.200Take a listen to Bongino in his own words.
00:09:11.560Folks, this is what it's like when you work for a president who tells you to go get the bad guys and stop focusing on other extraneous things not related to law enforcement.
00:09:56.260I want to also thank you, he's not here, but Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who we deal with often as well, who could not have been more supportive.
00:10:02.620Whatever process we need, Judge Jeanine, Todd, and Attorney General Bondi, they were there.
00:10:10.380All you had to do, they were a phone call away.
