SHOW 'Em! Pipe Bomber Defense Check Raises the DOJ | Ep 703

Take a look behind the curtain with a real whistleblower and American patriot. Prepare to embrace the uncomfortable truth because this program has no time for comforting lies. Here is civil liberties enthusiast, Second Amendment defender, and recovering FBI agent Kyle Seraphin. Well hello my friends welcome to the Kyle Seraphin show for today, Monday, December the 29th. Just a little statement up front, God is good is the 5th day of Christmas.

And we have for you 5 gold rings in the form of proof of life for Steve Baker. He's going to be joining me shortly on the program and we are going to, we're going to get into all of it. So what I'd ask for you, if you're just listening right now and you're been worried about Steve Baker, if you've been praying for Steve Baker, I want

to thank you for that. And I also ask you for your patience today because he is not 100% and he's coming on here to give you guys proof of life in an audio format only because I'm guessing he looks like hospital food warmed over. And as that being the case, we're going to have him shortly kind of in his own words. We're going to take our time.

We're going to go through the January 6th pipe bomber filings which were given to us yesterday by our DOJ and a very interesting response by the pipe bomber defense case. They've added some new attorneys and I am pretty optimistic that this is a really good, it's a really good time to check raise the government. The government asked for more time in their own case. I think it is.

It goes along with exactly what we've been sharing for quite a while in this, which is that the complaint was thin and they don't have this case and it is going to be really devastating to their to what they're doing. So we're going to make some some interesting prognostications I think and I think you guys are going to really enjoy that.

All right, folks, I don't want to set it up too much and I do want to take our time and be respectful of my buddy Steve Baker appearing by audio only. Mr. Baker, good morning to you.

Hey, good morning, Kyle. You sound like crap buddy. Yeah, they had crap jam down my throat, you know, half the week last week, but we came through. We're going to do OK. I love it. Do you want to give people a quick update? The last they heard we were live and I mentioned you were in the hospital. A lot of people were praying for you. Whatever you'd like to share, it's not my medical information, it's yours. So I'll let you tell them what

they want. Yeah, I don't, I don't know how much detail people want on this, but there, there seems to have been a little bit of curiosity on the online I I forget what day it is now. We're right, I guess we're Monday the 29th. So at this exact time last week, I was, you know, laid out on a table in a heart failure clinic. They they have, they have they at the UNC Medical Center here in Raleigh, They have a brand new this cardiac palace. I mean this, you know, it's really nice.

I mean, it's super nice. It's super new, It's super high tech. And I, I was joking with one of the lead doctors just a couple of days ago about it. And I said, I said, you realize that this diet that you guys are putting me on leans too heavily on the old food pyramid, you know, the USDA food pyramid. And I said, and I said, I said, you know, it's that food pyramid that paid for this, you know, New Palace that you guys are working out of. And. And she went, yeah, yeah.

I said, come on, you know, I'm right. She goes, yeah, you're right, you're right. I said, 'cause you all started killing us, you know, 6065 years ago. Well, people don't necessarily realize it, but cardiac medicine is probably one of the most studied things in all of medicine. And it was because people who had money were dying of, of heart disease and going back 50s and 60s.

And so you had a bunch of like white guys that were in business that were, that were Keeling over in the middle of meetings. So they studied it at a really high level. There's a ton of money into it, which also goes to tell us we know an awful lot about origin and we know a lot about the actual medicine behind it and and how it works and why the heart works the way it does. And you never had any heart problems if if if my memory serves.

Yeah, no, we don't have a history of it in my family, don't have any background in that whatsoever for me. So I, you know, I have obviously been on a literal crash course for the last week and catching up to speed. You know what all of this means for me, especially going forward in the future. But what, you know, week and a half ago, just only a week and a half ago, I was walking all over DCI was up and down Capitol Hill. I was in and out of the city working on the pipe bomber

stuff. That's what you know, to say it's a a bit of an obsession of mine right now is an understatement. But it is, it is something that is, is taking up most of my time, most of my mental bandwidth. And I, I was working on that very, you know, very aggressively. We were doing, we were doing some incredible things in town.

We were going to, you know, the young accused bombers, Brian Cole's neighborhood, canvassing the neighborhood, interviewing neighbors, interviewing store owners that he interacted with for years. I, I was out with a tape measure going out and measuring, you know, sidewalk panels and gutter size panels and brick panels, literal, you know, stone and brick in, in walkways and alleyways behind the RNC, in front of the DNC, in, in the kids neighborhoods.

To compare it to the photography and video that we've been able to acquire, which by the way, you know, through the blaze will be coming out with something here very, very quick about this and about the work that I was doing that week.

And and then of course, the guys that are usually more behind the scenes and I, you know, I don't want to take away from their efforts because they have while I was down for the last week, they were able to keep this, this train moving and that of course Johanneman and of course our guy. Are you hearing that? Sorry. You're a popular guy right now. Oh. My gosh, I mean, and of course this is the healthcare, you know, the cardio people calling me every 5 minutes.

Steve, they're calling you to tell you to take it easy. Lay off the work, don't do any call in programs and start getting excited about the things you were spending your week on before the hospital. You know, I'm, I'm excited that they're interested in my ongoing health, but this is the third time they've called me this morning. So, you know, we, we have been putting together primarily right now a defense of Brian Cole, this accused bomber.

Look, I'm, I'm just going to tell you, Kyle, it's not him. I mean, I, I, I've seen enough, I have interviewed enough people. It's not him. Why, why they decided to move forward with this. I can only describe that in one phrase. And that is an actual phrase given to me by an FBI agent who told me and I quote, they went to their Patsy file.

How crazy is that? And, and, and, and we're going to, we're going to look, I'm really impressed with the new attorney he has, with the work that they're doing. And it looks like they are going to, you know, really put on a

real defense here. I was afraid with the previous legal team that they were going to just mail this in and work towards a plea deal and that maybe even the, the attorneys were working for the government itself and, and this was just going to go away and be swept under the rug. They would, you know, be able to shake the dust off their feet and claim a victory here. They got the pipe bomber and, you know, and make it all go away. But they don't. They don't have the pipe bomber.

Steve, do you want to give a quick summary of some of the stuff that you, I know you mentioned you talked to a shop owner and people who saw him every day. I mean, you gave the the 30,000 foot view. You don't believe he did it? I don't believe he did it. I think that's fair. We're going to give reasons for that and we're going to help kind of run through the, the government filing, which I was shared with you last night.

And, and folks, just so you're awareness, I don't think Steve is in the position or in the, the health spot to be sitting there and reading through 30 pages of dense legalese. That being said, we'll go through it today and we're going to go through it nice and slowly so that people can grasp it. And I think that it is really damning to the, to the government's case. The government's own filing is

actually the worst thing. And there's a follow up that I think actually indicates that as well. But even before all this went down, before these filings, we had a, an arrest on December the 4th, Brian Cole Junior, someone that no one had ever heard of. I remember, I don't know if you saw this, but I did an interview and someone said, what was your first thought? My first thought was what? Who because he wasn't on any of our radar. Is that fair to say for the Blazes investigation as well?

Yeah, not on our radar at all. I mean, he certainly was probably one of those 186 phone numbers that they had pinged or had interest in that was released by Congressman Loudermilk, Congressman Massey's report here earlier this year. I would imagine that they were. He was on one of those 186, which by the way, on a Tuesday evening, January 5th, only 186 phone numbers shows you how thin the streets were occupied at that time of night. That is a great point that I

hadn't even considered. It's going to play into what we discussed in just a minute, but 186 total phone numbers that pinged in the vicinity that that they thought could have been when they went out and did an exhaustive grab of all the towers and and people that were in the area during the time that needed to be great, great point there. So hold on to that people put that in your in your mindset. We're talking about a very small subset.

That means deserted streets. If you've seen the videos of the pipe bomber, there's not a lot of foot traffic. We saw a dog Walker and not a lot else passing this person as they moved around. Not a ton of cars even from the static shots driving around because it was a very. It was a really weird time in Washington, DC. It was cold, it was dark. It was after the election of 2020 and right on the eve of a day that apparently was. Yeah, It was in the middle of COVID.

So people were wearing masks and staying home. And there were signs up everywhere that were saying, you know, stay home, stop the spread, all this other kind of nonsense. And. And DC was really strange, which is one of the reasons why I moved out of there a couple months later because I saw that and I went. I want nothing to do with it. Let's give kind of a summary. You spoke to you said the shop over this is the 711 shop owner. Yeah, he's in the in the

neighborhood. You want to talk about that, that meeting? Yeah, I'll, I'll talk about that a little bit. I don't again, I don't want to take away, you know, Joe was up all night working on this story. I couldn't sleep last night after the after the the filings came out. And we saw those filings yesterday. They, they rattled me so much. I was so angry. I couldn't even, I couldn't even

get to sleep last night. And so I don't, I don't want to steal the Thunder from what we have coming, but let's just let's just put it this way, people, Including the 711 store owner at the entrance to the neighborhood where Brian Cole and his family live is a place that for years he had gone into. And this is in their words, every day.

Now, I don't know that it was every day, literally, but hundreds of times over a period of time and that this shop owner that I interviewed told me that there's, I mean, just that he said there's no way. He said as soon as he heard that this kid was arrested and he saw the images of this kid who he has seen in his store 100 times and the awkwardness of this kid and the way this kid walks and his inability to, you know, to deal socially in a normal manner.

I mean, even to the point where he said probably over several years, Cole may have said 3 words to him. And he said every day that he would, you know, come up to the counter and he would get his same thing that he'd ordered every time. He would get his 2 Coca Colas

and a slice of pizza. And, you know, the typical autistic, you know, 5 minutes to Wapner, you know, routine is that every single time this happened, he would always say, you know, thank you to the kid or, you know, have a nice day. And he would just turn around. And of course, the kid was always wearing his headphones. He was always isolated inside that environment that he liked being in. And, and so we ended up talking for, you know, quite a long

time. He was, he was the shop owner was very, very effusive in his willingness to to speak. And, and but this is, you know, this is as we've seen in other, you know, the other mainstream reports, whether it's CBS or whether it's Washington Post or God, who else has done, has done stories on this and have interviewed neighbors. They've all said the same thing, they said. The New York Post did the same deal.

Yeah, yeah, this, this kid is not the person that we've seen in the videos of the the hooded pipe bomber. You walked around that neighborhood when you were in walking shape. You want to talk a little bit about what that neighborhood's like and what people may or may not notice just based on the kind of the layout of the house, the feeling kind of the the vibe of being in there, which is. I mean, it's a, it's a very, very typical middle to upper middle class suburban DC neighborhood.

People live well there. It's a safe neighborhood. It's the kind of place where a kid like him could walk his dog every day, a couple times a day and be comfortable doing that. And it's, it's ironically the entire neighborhood is almost all populated by federal employees, including, you know, probably hundreds of law enforcement, federal law

enforcement of all type. And you, and you see that because you see their government vehicles parked in their driveways and you see them coming to and from work. You see, the most ironic thing I saw was the, his and her Secret Service bomb dog, you know, specialist coming home. I mean the, the, the, the male partner comes home 1st and he backs his, his SUV and takes the dog out. And then the 5 minutes later his wife I assume, or girlfriend, whatever she is, she comes up identical vehicle.

She backs her SUV, takes her dog out and they're all out. You know, they're walking their dogs and, you know, around the yard and wearing their, you know, their black Secret Service bomb squad uniforms. You can't make that up. I mean, how far? Away is that from that? How far away is that from the Kohl's residence that you saw that happen? Block and 1/2. So what like 8 houses or something? Because these are pretty well spread out. Yeah, yeah, 810 houses. Just for people to understand.

And then I, I, I've said it here, but I'll say it one more time. I almost bought a house about 100 yards behind where the Cole residence is on the street. That is, that is directly to the to the West of where their cul-de-sac ends. I nearly bought a house there a couple years ago. My wife and I went and went through it more than once with a realtor and it's a nice place to

live. It's a kind of a sketchy Woodbridge in general is kind of sketchy as far as as far as suburbs of Washington, DC go in the Northern Virginia area. But that particular little enclave, it's very idyllic. I mean, it's, it's woods, it's space, there's no fences. Nice neighbors. As you said, a lot of feds A.

Lot of law enforcement. A lot of law enforcement, you know, the, the, the thing and I'll, I'll get back into answering a little bit about my, my, my little run in with the advanced cardiology science, we'll just call it that. I, you know, I was doing a lot of walking around that week. And walking is a thing for me. I, I enjoy it. I mean, when I'm in DCI, love to walk. I, you know, I, I will walk for, you know, blocks and blocks and miles and miles up and down Capitol Hill.

Doesn't, you know, doesn't phase me. Except it was really phasing me a week and a half ago and I was really beginning to notice signs that something was wrong with me out of the, you know, out of the ordinary. I was getting extraordinarily winded and even even in his neighborhood, I was noticing that, but I went out to I know, I know everybody or most everybody has seen the some of the video from the traffic accident, the body Cam.

And we're going to we're going to be releasing that, I think in full with this story. And one of the, one of the things that, you know, I was doing out there was going out and doing measurements in the street and having to avoid the traffic at the time, measuring sidewalk panels then. And the reason for that, it was we were trying to get, you know, exact foot measurements because we've had we've had what the FBI told us the bombers shoe size is.

We've had what the FBI is saying his shoe size is. And we, you know, we want to know ourselves. So this is this is an analysis that we were doing. Yeah, just just so people can understand, there was a traffic accident where Brian Cole junior in was it in his Nissan Sentra? Yes. Rear-ended somebody, What was the road? What was the road that they were on? Is it a famous road or like a

big? Road or yeah, it's a big, big major thoroughfare and and of course you know my my brain is a little addled right now but I'm going to I'm. Going to give you a pass on that one, Mr. Baker. But it is. But it is it is quite. It is quite the thoroughfare and very busy Rd. So Cole rear-ended some, you know, some random person and you guys we we saw scripts, I think news put it out.

You guys did a FOIA request or freedom information, whatever it is it Full disclosure kind of thing from from law enforcement. You got how long is it about 40 minutes about? 48 minutes. OK, so you've got just shy of an hour worth of footage of him wandering around. We've shown that. I showed it last week, I want to

say maybe the week before. So if you're familiar with the the video footage, we did it on Alex Jones program as well, Infowars folks, you saw maybe 15 or 25 seconds something like that of Mr. Cole standing there. And even in that short clip, you can see he seems to have kind of a tick where he's kind of ticking his head kind of instinctively while he's filling out a form. You have the law enforcement officer talking. He's very flat and affect.

You guys have the long form version where where do you imagine that you'll put that that video out for people that want to sit through and? I think, I think we'll be releasing that on the Blaze hopefully tomorrow, OK.

And we should be able to and that'll, and also if we do all of the edits that we have made and analyze we, we did, you know, where we removed, we stabilized some of the video because we're talking about body Cam, you know, so sometimes the cop is walking and he's walking against Brian Cole walking. And so you get a lot of bouncing around.

So we've been able to do some of that, you know, stabilization so that it it we can see a more fluid walk from Brian cold then then with the, you know, the body Cam itself self bouncing around. Got it. So we we've done we've done quite a bit of work like that. And then, and when I say we, I mean our, I mean, Joe, Joe and Armitage really picked up the the ball in this with me down last week. And then also we're, we're getting, you know, we're getting some expert help as well.

And I know we'll get into this if, if I can, if I can hang on long enough. But you know, we're, we're bringing in our own, you know, experts on this cell tower, the cell tower pangs at the FBI have claimed they, they've got these hits on him and then we're bringing in as well.

I mean, look, one thing I haven't even you know, one thing I haven't even revealed yet is that you might want to put this on your list is, you know, I the week before, last week or the week before I was in DC doing all these, you know, measurements and canvassing is I was in another state and I got to sit down for five full hours with the FB is person of interest #2 and POI #2 means the bomber POI.

So POI number one, just to bring bring everything into clarity here, remind everyone POI one is the hoodie person, the unknown hoodie person. These are the PO is that were identified that the FBI had folks and if you're if you're familiar with the report that I've shared, there's an I'll put it again. The Loudermilk report went out in January of 2025 S the beginning of this year, and it identified basically three persons of interest.

One was the hoodie bomber. The third was the person that my surveillance team was assigned watch a door in Virginia, which just happened to be next door to somebody that the blaze had had looked into. And then you're just pointing out that you got a chance to sit down with person of interest two who has, so far, as far as I'm aware, no major media outlet has identified nor have they spent any time with.

Correct. I don't know if anybody who has interviewed him in the last five years other than. Not. Not even Julie Kelly. Shock even. Not even Betty Crocker herself. The as as far as I know, no one other than the two FBI agents who interviewed him twice the week following you being pulled from the doorstep there in Falls Church, VA.

And POI #3, of course, is the gentleman that Julie Kelly did interview and he was the guy who owned the Metro card that was famously used on the 5th and then also again on the 6th. And it was POI too, who was staying with him at the time that used that card. And, and so I had the, again, there's so many, we, we, we've had so much help and so much assistance on this. It's, it would be absolutely shameful for me or even my own, you know, closest team to take

all the credit for this. But we've had, we've had volunteer help, we've had paid help. Well, we've had expert help. And I actually had and flew in a retired FBI agent that met me for this particular interview. And it was, it was kind of an interesting circumstance in that we, we had, we had an address on the guy. We had phone numbers on the guy, but he spends a lot of time

traveling out of the country. And so our goal was, was to find someone in his own inner circle that we could meet, become friendly with and then have them introduce us to them. And that was, you know, that was just kind of the game plan And believe it or not, it worked out. We we met someone that he was very close to at 9:00 one morning. This was two, 2 1/2 weeks ago.

Two weeks ago and we met him at 9:00 in the morning and then by 2:00 that afternoon, I'm sitting in the living room of a couple and the guy comes over to their house, POI #2, and we interview

him for three hours. And then I spent two more hours with him in a coffee shop the next day doing follow up questions with him and learning more about this circumstance and why he was there, why he was hanging out in the alleys, why he was hanging out in the RNC alley, why he got off the metro changed, you know, kind of, I don't want to say disguise. He put on warmer weather gear, let's put it that way, and then immediately beelined it to the RNC alley where he began to take

pictures in the alleyway. And then for some reason, after wandering around DC all day and attending some of the 1st Amendment protest events that were happening on the 5th, just before he went back to the metro and disappeared in the train back to Falls Church, he ducked into that alley again and then placed an empty water bottle. And this is according to the FBI placed an empty water bottle in the exact trash container which was next to where the bomb was found 17 hours later.

Let's do a highline summary if you don't mind. Mr. Baker, after talking to this guy 5:00-ish hours, did you feel like case closed, this guy should be should be no further questions and and no further scrutiny or were did you leave with some questions? Definitely left with some questions, but he is either a genuinely sincere man who through one of the greatest coincidences in human history, ended up where he ended up, and I, I and Kyle, I'm, I'm sorry

you can't see my face, right? Well, no, I'm not. I'm glad nobody can see it right now. But this was a series of coincidences stacked upon themselves, which make it an absolutely astronomical number that takes him out of any connection to this event. But he's either a victim of that of those improbabilities, or he's the greatest liar of all time. And there's more that's potentially more to that story. All right, I'm going to give you a couple seconds to take a

breath. I want to thank one of our sponsors and then we're going to get into this document. Folks, if you're just joining us right now, I've got Steve Baker coming in through audio only because he just got out of the hospital. Steve Baker is an investigative journalist that works for The Blaze and he is a former J Sixer himself. He was doing journalistic activities on January 6th, has a bit of a passion project running

down this particular story. The most terroristic thing that happened on January 6th, the dropping of pipe bombs. And the FB is interesting naming of a subject after he and his team came up with somebody else they thought was more probable for some reason. We're supposed to just believe that all the things that we heard for the last, I don't know, 4 1/2, five years didn't happen. We're supposed to believe that none of that stuff was going on.

We're supposed to believe that there was in fact no governmental involvement, including the statements that were made by the former podcaster and now current the and soon to be former deputy director of the FBI and also Cash Patel statements that were to the contrary. We're supposed to ignore all of that and all of the weird circumstances that happened that seemed to point towards at least government awareness of what was going on.

Even if it was a big misunderstanding or a mistake or a some sort of a training accident or a poorly messaged exercise, which I don't believe is possible on that day, that that is stuff we're supposed to just put away. And I think that when you hear this document, which we're going to go through, which was filed yesterday, and then the follow up document, which was filed by the defense is going to really, really RIP some of the stuff apart.

I don't think the government's case is even strong enough to stand in front of a judge. And I think they know that as well. All right, before we get there, our sponsor Silent is an outstanding group of people making outstanding Faraday products. This is something that I know my my friend Mr. Baker would have appreciated having in his hotel room if you had a bit more planning before he went in with his cardiac event. Sometimes it's nice to keep your phones off.

Government tracking, big tech trapping, corporate data brokers, cyber criminals, whoever may be fighting for a piece of your digital footprint. If you are a little bit cagey as I am, you may want to make sure that they can't just take your data. And that's what they do. They don't have to ask. Silent exists because there's a reason for a little bit of silence. What I find too is that I get a lot of Peace of Mind. Yesterday I spent 3 hours running one of their sling bags.

It's their new concealed carry sling bag. And I put my phone in there and my my little digital watch didn't go beeping and I just spent time with my kids running around in the park and on bicycles. And it is actually creating more peace in my life. That's one of the pillars of health that they actually they do in addition to kind of keeping you out of the hands of all these sort of government agencies, tech, you know, brokers, data brokers, et cetera.

This is the same kind of technology that special operations team use worldwide. These guys have government contracts for different government agencies and military. If you guys want to block all of of the RF signals coming out and that involves things like cellular and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and GPS and RFID and near field communication, all the different wireless things that put you on the grid. You guys can get off the grid by putting your phone in a silent Faraday case.

This is the one that we use here at the show on a regular basis because otherwise my phone will be blowing up like the healthcare workers calling Mr. Steve Baker. Guys, protect your family, protect your freedom, protect your mental health. Sometimes it's nice to just disconnect and this is a really easy way to do it. You don't even realize that that thing is calling to you like a siren song. Even if it's you're sitting in your pocket and it's not buzzing.

At some point it might and then it's going to pull you out of whatever you were doing. So go completely silent, get invisible to the outside world. Check out these these different products that the E3 Faraday backpack is my favorite. It's the one on the screen. I put it on there. They don't ask me to advertise that one, but it's the one I use the most and it's really, really a good stuff. So you guys are not going to be missing out.

They're not the cheapest by by any means, but they are the best because they actually work. All the cheap ones that I found failed. That was my experience. All right, we're going to go back to Steve Baker here. Mr. Baker, Are you ready to go through this document which was dumped on us yesterday? Yeah, let's, let's talk about this. This document kept me up all night last night. And that's not a good thing either, right? Now you need to be getting your

rest, my friend. All right, first, let's start off with the headlines. This is coming from John Solomon at just the news and agency that lies to you in their very name, as I was told by a funny reporter. J6 pipe bomb subject says he planted the devices because quote, I really don't like either party. That highline is actually one of the funniest ways to do a headline in my opinion because we know that the original targets of those pipe bombs do not appear to have been

political parties. This seems to be a false confession and I think that this document is riddled with sort of self defeating arguments. But this is the one that John Solomon decided to call out. I'm not going to. I'm just going to show you the headline folks. I will link these in the show description or in the the

comments so you can read them. I want to show you ABC also covering this with their little advertisement here, says alleged J6 pipe bomber said he wasn't targeting the congressional certification of Biden's victory. That's what the DOJ claims in this particular thing. So that's their take away from it. Also accurate. And here's NBC's coverage. The DC pipe bomber suspect disliked both political parties and felt violence would be justified, prosecutors say.

So the interesting thing is, is that all of our news outlets from left to right and the propaganda pieces over at at just the news are all honing in on this idea that he wanted to go after both of them because he thought the political parties were the issue. There's a real big hole in that

argument. I think Mr. Baker, which is the original place where the pipe bomber stopped, we're supposed to ignore apparently that that he was stopping outside of a boarding house and also the Congressional Black Caucus Institute. Yeah, let's talk about that. Does he? Does this black high functioning autistic kid also hate the Congressional Black Caucus? That's right. That's right.

Yeah. And then also we're supposed to ignore the fact that the United States Capitol Police counter surveillance teams went directly to the Bush outside that Congressional Black Caucus Institute with no particular reason why? No particular reason why, but I can also reveal today, this is another bit of a scoop for you and your listeners, Kyle, is that those two counter surveillance officers have been recently reinterviewed.

I'm not at liberty yet to give all of the context of everything that happened and was said in those interviews. But I will tell you that the investigator who interviewed them said that it was, how do I put this it? It was the most rehearsed and actually, as he said, overacted testimony he's ever participated in. Outstanding. Well, that's good. I I'd hate for them to to fall short of that.

Our expectations are is that this is a sort of a governmental type cover up and if that's the case, then we need government cover up actors. So here we go. Let's get into today's filing. I've got it up here. This happened yesterday. It was filed. I don't know if it says a time on here, so forgive me on that folks, but it was filed yesterday, December the 28th, which was the 4th day of Christmas.

Today, the 5th day of Christmas, which is everybody's favorite part of the song, the five gold rings. If you're a long time listener to this program, you can go back and find I used to play this Eddie Izzard clip. Steve, where, where, where? Eddie Izzard, you know, you know the British comedian. Oh yeah, I remember Eddie. Where? Well. He, he used to, he did his bit and and I think he did it in dress to kill coming out of a San Francisco Bay Area.

And he would, he said people would run in from other parts of the room or other parts of the house just to scream the five gold rings part because no one knew the other bits. So no one knew anything beyond he didn't know about the turtle doves. You don't know about the the maid's milking, but you always knew the five. Gold. Ring. So it kind of makes me laugh. So this is our 5 gold rings

folks. the United States of America versus Brian J. Cole Junior. There's the case number and he is the defendant in the the District Court of the District of Columbia. And I'm going to read you a little bits of it. This is being filed by the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia. That's Jeanine Pirro submits this memorandum in the support of oral motion for defendant Brian Cole junior to be detained

pretrial. Now, there are two things that are pending and they are pending for tomorrow. One of them is this pretrial detention hearing. But the second piece of it, which I guess the government tried to move backwards, is the preliminary hearing. And Steve, we've talked about this quite a bit as far as the J Sixers went, but the FBI doesn't normally charge people by complaint. They chose to charge Brian Cole

by complaint. And so now they face a preliminary hearing where they have to show probable cause in front of the judge because nobody evaluated outside of the the Magistrate Judge and, and the, the affidavit that was filed, which we've evaluated here on this program to be quite thin, I think was my word. And I'm going to continue using it. Well, you know, I was, I was even subjected to a grand jury investigation. I, you know, it was. Gosh, it was.

But that actually makes sense because they had a long time. They announced they were going to come at you. January 6th happened a long time prior. You knew that at some point in time you were going to have to, you know, face whatever it was they were going to put at you. And so they went to a grand jury and they, they indicted you. That was the whole point. That's what the FBI normally does in this case for folks awareness. Five years, No indictment. Charged by complaint.

It's it's not the way the FBI does business as a regular course of action. They actually, you know, what ended up happening with me is because I was only charged with the four basic misdemeanors, is that apparently the grand jury didn't see what the FBI was bringing to them and DOJ was bringing to them because they wanted to nail me with a felony. And grand juries are not seated for misdemeanor offenses, only

felony offenses. And so even the even the fact that they took it to the grand jury and I had to, you know, turn over a bunch of my work in order for them to look at that, they apparently could not even even even the the previous Biden DOGDOJFBI couldn't convince that grand jury that I was worthy of a felony charge. I think they're going to face similar problems here. Let's read from the government's motion. It says upon a finding of probable cause that the defendant violated.

This is Section 844 I I think that's 18 USC 844. I The bail statute creates a rebuttable presumption that no conditions will reasonably assure the community safety if the defendant is released pending pretrial.

So they're looking to have him held, and they say that he cannot rebut this presumption considering the extreme and profoundly serious nature of his crimes, the overwhelming evidence of his guilt and the years he spent deceiving those around him to avoid accountability, the intolerable risk he will again resort to violence to express his frustration with the world around him. Pretty interesting claims. Let's do a little bit on the

background, folks. So they actually sort of copied and pasted a chunk of the background from the complaint affidavit. This says that on December the 4th, he was arrested. That was of this year. The complaint was unsealed charging him with violations of 18 USC 844 D and I Delta and India. Those are the transportation of the explosive device and the attempt to use an explosive device to destroy a building.

I'm paraphrasing a little bit. The defendant made his initial appearance where they just basically read him the charges and said, you know, we've read you the charges, but he didn't enter a plea as I understand it. And then he was held pending a detention hearing and waiting for counsel. Now, This is why this, this document is so interesting.

This is the first time we're getting a look at the actual confession, or at least the, the, the elements that were built into the confession and what the, what the government is

going to use in their case. And so here they are, they say on January the 5th, 2021, the charges against the defendant arise from his manufacturing, transport, transporting and planting of two pipe bombs in downtown Washington, DC on January 5th, 2021. We always kind of say the J6 pipe bomber, but in reality, this was stuff that was supposed that was planted on the night of the 5th starting at about 7:30-ish. Is that about right, Steve?

And going to about 818? Those are the kind of the critical moments that people need to be aware of that timeline. Yeah, it's 730 fours. When the hoodie bomber first appeared on surveillance cameras and then disappeared at 8:18, there was a 8 minute gap from exactly 8 O clock to 8 O 8 where the bomber also went off camera.

Where even the FBI supports One of our long, long time theories is that the bomber only carried one bomb at a time and then managed to either hook up with an accomplice or get back to his or her car near or at Folger Park during that 8 minute gap. And after placing the DNC pipe bomb, then loaded what would then become the RNC or the Capitol Hill Club bomb.

All right, so they mentioned that the two bombs are placed at approximately 7:54 PM for the DNC, so about 20 minutes worth of wandering on camera before the 1st placement on that includes the the stall and delay at the Bush that we've shown you guys ample footage of where the Capitol Police officers looked the next day but found nothing only to find the bombs a few minutes later. And then he also planted the second bomb at approximately 816 per this complaint or this this

filing rather. The two locations are about .2 miles apart and in between them are two parks, one of them being Folger Park. That's going to come into play in just minute. So we're going to go on. They identified the defendant driving his 2017 Nissan Sentra entering, exiting the Capital South Street exit of Interstate 395. There's a NS route of 395 and Capitol St. S Capitol Street kind of runs

along there. Passed a license plate reader that recorded his vehicle and tag information at 7:10 PM. This is on January the 5th. Approximately 24 minutes later at 7:34, we have the first video footage.

What that tells us, at least it tells me from what they're filing here, they don't have other video footage, which would include parking the vehicle, the location of the vehicle and the sort of, and exiting the vehicle wearing the clothes that we would expect, which I think would be a lot closer to, I think would be more than circumstantial. This is kind of what they're, the argument they have here is they're basing it on his confession of that's where he

was. And I'm, I'm very skeptical of that. I'm going to keep reading on here, Steve, while you kind of take a couple of breaths. Video captured the the defendant was holding a backpack and held in his hand was wearing distinctive Nike Air Max Speed turf shoes and a face mask and a hood that obscured his face. All right, so they put a filing in of the person.

This is person of interest, one that they allege is Brian Cole Junior. I'm going to allege is not Brian Cole Junior. And one of the fun things is, is that for a long time the FBI is fixated on these shoes. They are addressed in this for the first time in a way that is not satisfactory to me. It probably will not be to you. I'll give you guys the the read and then we'll give you the analysis on it as well, All right.

Footage shows that the defendant who investigators from the Federal Bureau of Investigation based on height analysis estimated to be 5 foot 7 inches tall with an error rate of ±1.1 inch put on eyeglasses scanning the area depicted below. This is that video that we've also shown you. I've gone on info with wars with it. I've played it here. This is a video that we think actually indicates that these are at not prescription eyeglasses but potentially sunglasses to obscure.

And I think we fleshed this out pretty well, but I'll just do it real quickly The, and in fact, I may play that in just a second for if Steve needs another break. Essentially, there are two reasons that you would put on eyeglasses. If you put on spectacles, the way that you see Steve's picture wearing right now, you put them on to clarify the image of what's going on. Your eye doesn't focus properly and things appear blurry if you're nearsighted, which I used to be.

So you put them on and the idea would be that you can see the world around you better and that's a safety mechanism so you can identify threats and so on. The other reason you might put on darkened lenses would be to obscure your your visual so that people can't see you. So 1 is so that you can perceive the world better and the other is so that the world can perceive you less. And what we see in that that particular video that is on that still is grabbed right there.

And if you give me a SEC, I probably can go grab it. The the differential would be that you would necessarily want to make sure that you put your eyeglasses on clean, smudge free and so on to be able to identify somebody in the dark walking towards you. In this case, the the visual that we see on screen right now is just before somebody with a dog walks from the left side of the screen across to the right.

And what we see instead is that the hooded figure takes the glasses off, cleans them once, puts them on and then goes to basically clean them again. But notices this dog Walker and so leaves a hand on the bridge or the arm of the glasses, kind of turns away with the with the glasses on and then when the dog Walker leaves, pulls them off again and cleans them, which is not logical behavior for someone who wears spectacles. Steve, I'll give you a SEC to kind of weigh in on that if you

like. And then I'm going to try to find the video so we can show people too. Scroll back up to the previous image above this one. Yeah, you got it. Let's talk about that for a moment. This is a little bit off topic of the glasses, but this will give you an idea of what I was doing last week or the week before a week and a half ago.

Is you see those bricks in the alley behind the RNCI was we we found some very clean footage of from a ring camera actually of the bomber so that we were able to get precise measure a precise clear screenshots from the video of the bomber's foot and shoes. And so I was actually one night. See what night was it? It was, it was Friday, week and a half ago.

I was in this alley after 10:00 PM, after 10:00 PM, folks at night in the dark measuring with the tape measure those bricks and actually went because because in the Ring camera, I was able to see exactly the backs of the apartments that we were that the, the, the bomber was shot at from the Ring camera. I was able to go to those that exact location and measure those bricks. And then the one thing that I was brand new to me that I had never noticed. Now, of course, I've watched all

of the available footage. I know that most people have not done that. They've only seen the, you know, the 1530 seconds total that the FB is ever released of the, of the bomber. And most of that footage that they've seen of the alleged bomber is there at the DNC where the, the frame rate has been horribly altered down to 1, you

know, 1 frame per second. And so, but in this particular incident here, the, I believe it was The Washington Post had been able to secure that camera right there before the FBI was able to alter it. Interesting. Yeah. So we have we have a side by side of this particular camera unaltered. We have the side by side of the FB is altered version of it.

But because there is in the out there in the in the world the unaltered version, we get to watch this individual in a very athletic move moving around that that corner. All right, so so when the when the bomber moves around the corner, this is at the exact moment where the placement of the bomb is determined to happen. The bomb is moving directly to that spot. Now, if you go back to the image just real quickly, sure.

All right, so you have if you look at the left shoulder, the the the that that would be the the gloved hand without the backpack. I can move over over that left shoulder about 40 feet to the left is the actual security booth where the security guard is main is housed 24 hours a day outside of the RNC. OK. And there's a reason why that in this particular image that I didn't catch until I was there last Friday a week ago at after 10:00. I never knew that that security

shack, guard shack was there. And so the reason why the bomber is moving with such athletic determination here, unlike the rest of the night, the rest of the night is a very, very casual stroll. But in this moment, it's because the bomber knew the bomber had to get around that corner and get out of the sight of line of the guard shack. Now interestingly, the guard shack, the way the where the the guards computer monitor set up is actually facing the other

direction. So this person already knew this Kyle. And was just basically we're talking about eliminating the time of exposure to a potential over shoulder look kind of. Thing exactly what was happening there and all of the sudden this when I saw that last Friday in the evening and I saw it and it's like you know it's like one of those you know the light the light bulb goes out and you understand why the bomber was moving with such determination

at this moment now we're going to have to be asked by the DOJ by the FBI to believe that this kid Brian Cole knew all of that in advance at. The very minimum had an awareness of the guard shack and understood that there was a possibility of being seen at that point and therefore had to

had to move. Despite the fact that anybody who's seen him and and people that I've talked to and you have as well, you know, walking around the neighborhood said that he basically lives in a world of his own. And this has been widely reported by various different news outlets left and right. You know, nobody with an agenda. All that's troubling. I want to put the the loop video

up here. This is the this is the eyeglass video where the DOJ is now alleging that this shows a set of eyeglasses and scanning of the area That may be what it shows. Steve, I've got you off, off picture here. So we can kind of maximize the size, but the the pipe bomber's moving from left to right on the screen right now, pauses and then does this sort of logical sets down the backpack, turns around and then cleans glasses, which a lot of people thought was answering a cell phone.

If you snip it just right, it looks like someone's looking at a phone, but cleans glasses, puts them back on. And if your glasses were not clean after you tried to clean them, would you not want to go back and make sure that they were clean before somebody walked right up on you? Is it, am I you'd want them off so you don't have the fuzz and the, and the, and the blur. I mean, this is just, we're, we're speculating on how people operate, but that's how I

operate. I don't like having my eyes obscured by hazy glass. I'd rather just go with whatever my native vision is and squint. Right, right. And I say that as a guy who was in the military with with, you know, the BCGS, the birth control glasses, which are horrifically bad. I wore them through Sears. Cool. Had my my vision very, very

obstructed in the woods. And if I had to take them like between a foggy set of glasses that had smudges on them or no glasses at all, I'll go no glasses at all while I clean them and find something dry. That was just that was my move. So again, this this kind of is Armitas making the speculation that this video actually shows something meant to obscure the face rather than clean up the vision of somebody who has a a

visual impairment. So I went that night on that that Friday a week and a half ago, I went and knocked on the guard shack. Oh really? Yeah, I knocked on the window and guard spun around. Now remember the guard is the guard station and his position with his own screen monitors are facing away from this position where we saw the bomber moving around that corner.

Yeah. And, and so I knocked on the window and he, he opened the window and I, I introduced myself and told him what I was doing out there. And he was got excited. He got out of the he came out of the booth and wanted to talk. Turns out he is the actual guard that was first notified. He he was on duty not on the evening of the 5th, but he was on duty on the morning in the afternoon of the 6th. So he was there when the bomb was discovered is. He the one that made the call,

then that that went off. That he was the first one that it was reported to and, and he's, you know, like he said, he said that was, he said that was a day he'll never forget and he, you know, he went into a lot of detailed description about how that whole thing unfolded, but super, super nice guy. And so I, I did something that, you know, I've not done very often, but I showed him a couple of videos and he went, Oh my God. He said, this is, it's not the

kid, is it? I said no, it's not the kid. I think any reasonable person's going to see that and DOJ is going to have some real problems very shortly when they try to put this in front of a judge again, I'm, I'm I want to punch through this. We're on page 4 of 23. So folks, bear with me as we continue through here. Steve and I are known to to talk a long time, but I'm I'm more worried about your, your health than I am getting through some

of this stuff. So they go on and they talk about this one is actually really critical. Approximately 739 and 27 seconds. This is where they get into the phone pings. Folks, there's a lot of problems here and there's a great map that we're going to show you, which is going to be familiar if you're, if you're not new to this program, OK? It says that is the first 5 minutes after the defendant was captured on video surveillance, which was again right around

730-5734. You've got a cell phone interacting with two cell phone towers consistent with him being at the intersection of D Street and South Capitol St. SE. Let me say what this is, Steve, you've been doing some, you've been doing some some background on this. And so you can kind of check my math. What they've done here is they've said we need for this subject to be at a place on the

grid. And so we are going to tell you that it's consistent with being there, but it's not just consistent with being there, it's consistent with being within 1000 meters or more of there. So a circular kilometer in and around that, that little area and most of it actually is not close to D St. SE and S capital. What it actually is close to is 1000 meters to the West of that and South.

And so their claim that they're making here, as far as I can tell, is that it could be this person, but only because they needed to be this person to be able to make these claims. Is that am I saying that in a way that makes sense? Yeah, that's that's essentially what's happening here is that I'm. Going to scroll to the map so

people can see. It I will I will tell you that after sitting through several of these January 6 trials and seeing the are listening to the absolute precision and scientific certainty of how they traced and tracked some of these people using, you know, this, this tower technology. Now some of it was tracked using GPS, Google, you know, that sort of thing, ad ID, which are which of course is all much more

accurate. But what I have learned since we began studying this specifically related to the Brian Cole case is that if we're if we're setting a standard in this country when we're talking legally of beyond a reasonable doubt, nothing about this technology satisfies that nothing. So that is the standard less people think that we're, we're picking something up that the standard is, is beyond a reasonable doubt that no reasonable person would doubt that the, that the individual

actually committed the crime. In this case, what they've made the claim is, is that somebody was in, if you look at where these arms are on the screen. And folks, if you're not watching on Spotify or if you're not listening or, you know, watching us on, on, on Rumble or YouTube, you're missing out on the visual here. Which I do think is critical for this particular case because these are exhibits that are being put in the government's own document.

And they look suspiciously similar to the stuff that we had set up to be able to show people exactly where these towers are. And it's almost identical to the one that Armitas put together for Blaze and has been cited and I've put out on social media before. In fact, you make sure I have the right one. But I'm also going to show you guys a very similar, a very similar drawing, which was done not by the government in this case, but by private individuals who are mapping this information.

So here we go. I've actually got this for you here too. So now you guys look this the government's Exhibit T-Mobile data sessions January 5th, and you'll notice it is very, very similar, although the government's 1 is a little bit snazzier looking. This one is a dark mode view of the exact same towers and with a little bit less precise lineage is all I would say on there. But essentially we're looking at the same thing.

They're showing the same fields. Now the issue with what the government is presenting is that at at there was a tower ping at one, 3927 seconds from tower one and tower 2 on the screen, there's another ping from tower 4, I'm sorry, from tower two at 744, so 5 minutes later. But all of these run around sort of this, this basic issue that these are huge 120° thousand plus yards in in all directions sectors. They're 1/3 of of the map moving out from a single point.

And these are not precise, not even a little bit precise. Oh, and, and the science will, you know, tell you we're, and we, we're, when we're talking about the science, we're talking about the FBI cast experts. I think there's at any one time you can correct me on this, Kyle, if I'm wrong, but at any one time, there's about 60 to 80 experts in this particular science within the FBI that that's nationwide, not not in DC. Yeah, it might even be smaller

than that, to be honest. I don't, I don't. It's not a big group. It's a very small group. The the the headquarters people are usually they're assigned to headquarters, but they may work in various field offices and they can live in other places. And yeah, they do really specialized work on here. But this is. And on what we've been able to gather from these experts, the FBI retired is that it's so imprecise as, as I said, not to meet the standard of beyond reasonable doubt.

And that's, that's, that's with pings that they get both within the the vectors or the azimuths or things they get outside of them. There's, there's no way. And then, and then there's the problem of not only distances from where the ping is, but from also where we think we know where our subject really is. So it's the acute location

versus the real location. Folks, I want you to look at the screen here again, if you're listening, I would love it if you guys were watching on Spotify because you're gonna be able to see this. But essentially, there's a north-south road here and this is South Capitol St. SE that you're seeing where my cursor is running right there. Just off to the right or just off to the east over here is where the the DNC is. It's this blue dot.

And then if you move over 2 blocks and up one, you'll see just north of that is where you've got the RNC in this red dot O. These are the two dots that are in play, which means the square of reference is here, which is second St. down to about East St. if memory serves. We're going to go to South Capital St. You'll see that the New Jersey Ave. SE cuts in between and then the top side here is C Charlie. So C Charlie down to D Delta and E Echo.

These are the three streets running north-south and then the east West from starting from the West, S Capitol New Jersey and then finally 2nd St. SE. These are the kind of the square of operations where we need to find the pipe bomber. Now all you need to know is. Between the hours of let's say 734, when the pipe bomber appears on camera roughly here where my at this New Jersey and E Street. Am I correct in that, Steve? Is it about New Jersey and E? Yeah, OK.

Down here. That's where the pipe bomber appears at 7:34 and then disappears forever right up here at the corner roughly of C St. and 2nd St. That's or is it D St. It doesn't make a difference over here at 2nd St. and and. And. This is our Far East boundary here. This is where the pipe bomber disappears forever. There's two parks here, one of which I cannot recall the name of. Garfield Park is the southern

park. And then Folger Park is going to be sighted right here and it applies to D St. SE. So for those of you looking at this map, I think this is really critical. If the pipe bomber is in this area on camera between 7:34 and 8:18, which is what the the government claims. And Brian Cole is anywhere outside in, including in the overlapping areas where these cell phone ping towers.

Because you'll notice this pink tower goes here and you could be literally right out here, which is a, a place that would hit every single one of those cell phone pings if you were in this space during that time. The government's case is dead on arrival if he's anywhere other than the areas they need him to

be are our chat. Rose Lopez is our chat moderator over on on Rumble and pointed out you're basically taking a puzzle piece that sort of fits and cramming it in kind of when you have like the almost shape, it's a heart shape, but just you shove it into the Oval shaped area. You can make it fit, but only because you need it to fit. And that's essentially what I think the government is doing

with this argument. We're going to go a little further into this document since we're on page 7 right now and I want to make sure we get the really important stuff. The pipe bombs that were planted by the RNC did not detonate as intended. They're making a big, they're making a big claim here that they were intended to detonate. I just let you guys know that's required for the statutory charges they brought. They weren't discovered until approximately 1:00 PM on January the 6th.

The hazardous device section of the United States Capitol Police responded and performed render safe procedures on both devices. And kind of skip over that for now. There's more to that story as well, which Steve has covered the FBSS to. The 2 vices were IEDs that contained a main explosive charge, a fusing system, and a container. They also assessed that they had a hard metal container, which was metal pipe nipples and end caps, which showed that the whippin characteristics were

present. They're really, really dancing around this folks, because they used the word viability 3 times in this document. The words viability are required because they made-up their own standard. Viability is not a thing we talk about when we talk about explosives, they say, and we've had that. Even the Loudermilk report said it previously. They talk about whether it was designed as a hoax or whether it was designed to function as it was built.

And viability is not something that we discussed and we know they weren't viable because they didn't go off. That's the simplest answer. The word viable means. Nothing. I know they weren't viable because. I was briefed on that. You were briefed. On it. As as were others who can actually substantiate at the

time. So this is the problem with with something that has already happened and people who have good memories and it turns out that when you hire folks to be FBI agents, you know the sort of thing that they might recall being put on a pipe bomber case. I wasn't the only person that was briefed this. There were other agents that were involved, the person that gave the briefing. And then it went broader than that.

Even friends of mine who have worked in the outer parts of the FBI but had contact with what's called the special agent bomb technician, it's a whole group of people that do this specialized job. It went out quite broadly that these were inert devices, that they were looking very bomb like, but not bombs. Or as our buddy Steve Friend likes to say, the bombs would have been bombs if they've been bombs, which is us being flippant about this.

But this is really what their, their, their charge actually hinges on because they have an alleged ideology. They haven't alleged any sort of terrorism. What they're saying is that these are destructive devices. And the FBI explosives examiner assessed that the pipe bombs were constructed using all the components necessary to explode and that they were viable explosive devices, even though that's not a standard that the FBI actually uses. And it gets worse from here, people.

So this was the strongest part of the FBI's argument, as I understand it. They mentioned the, the, the diagrams. These are some of the things that you guys have seen. I'll link this, this particular document so you guys can find it. I'll post the PDF over on locals at kyleseraphin.com if you want to read it. It's not mine to share other than, you know, it's public record now. So we're going to put this out there. Let's keep moving through some of these things.

This is why I think this is such a dumb case and why I think they probably already disproved it. The FBI obtained records for the defendant's checking account and three of his credit cards for the time period of January 2018 to January of 2021. They mentioned this in the complaint as well. There are three additional credit cards that were obtained between January 18 and November of 2025. The FBI reviewed transaction history for all of these

accounts. I actually don't know how they decided this was a good method, but what they did is they argued that he bought bomb making of materials. They found his pings generally in Washington, DC and his car hit on a license plate reader and that constitutes probable cause. I don't think a judge will see that when this is actually brought in. Here's why this is so crazy, y'all.

This is the list of information. This is the list of pieces that were purchased and they are listed in this particular document on page 10. A 9 Volt battery connector. A timer. This is a kitchen timer. The there were two of them purchased in June of 2020 from Walmart. These kitchen timers, they were 59 Volt battery connectors, which were purchased in November and December of 2019. So he was mad at both political parties. He thought that the the election

was rigged and stolen. And he decided that in November of 2019 so he could start building his pipe bombs, what, a year earlier before the election, Steve. Yeah. This is the argument they're making. Yeah, exactly. Year and a half. This is why. OK, so this is fun. So these are all bought before the actual bomb was placed. And so you have the materials necessary. You have an 8 inch pipe, 8 inch pipe with nipple on each end. You've got that, which is just

means it's threaded. You've got the the iron, the black iron end caps. You have galvanized end caps. There were 12 of the black ones and they were two of the galvanized ones. They were all purchased in early 2020. You've got red wiring and blue wiring and black wiring, sorry, red and black wiring and multiple different lengths were bought 350 feet, 150 feet, 100 feet and 100 feet at home depots and Lowe's over a period of two

years. And for me, the wild part of it is, is that they probably used a grand total of what, 3 feet in the entirety of both pipes, But but more needed to be bought. There's some steel wool which was bought in December of 2020 and some sulfur, which was bought on Amazon in 2018. Folks, January 14th of 2018. This is the first time I've seen this particular purchase added. He bought sulfur in a, in a jar or in a, in some sort of a, you know, plastic dispenser from

Amazon, a 1 LB amount of sulfur. That's the first piece of the charcoal bomb making sort of, you know, black powder stuff. And they haven't made any claims that he bought previously. So this is all wild. Here's where I think this falls apart. I'm going to let Steve take a deep breath at the top of this one. The government says after planting the pipe bombs on January 5th, 2021, the defendant continued to purchase bomb making components as illustrated below.

The last identified purchase occurred on August the 13th of 2022. People, what the government wants to make the argument is that not only did he build these bombs years in advance of the anger that he had over the election, he then continued to buy bomb making materials to include another timer. And this one I think is the most damning and stupid from Walmart just like the others.

On 1/21 of 2021, three weeks after the J6 pipe bomb happens, he goes out and buys another kitchen timer and he also goes out and buys more pipe. It's because he's a genius. He's a absolute criminal genius. He wants to if you're. Going to if you're going to cut any parts of this, folks, this is the, this is the cut, the cut that you should be doing.

Look at this. The government claims that a person who got away with dropping 2 pipe bombs in the nation's capital which did not detonate and was able to elude the FBI for five years, bought more bomb making materials within three weeks of that. Went on January the 21st of 2021 to buy another kitchen timer. Went back to Home Depot to buy more 8 inch pipe on 1/20/22. Sorry, on 1/22 of 2021.

So that's again three weeks after, then again in March of 21, then again in October of 21, and also in August of 2022, and more end caps. This guy, apparently, this is the actual purchase history of Brian Cole. Junior was compulsively buying pieces that would be able to build pipe bombs after getting away with it. The problem is, is that his own statement in the confession, which the government lays out, contradicts this buying history.

And we cannot believe that what he's saying makes sense. So now we're going to go to the best part, I think is maybe of of any of this, which is the confession. This is the first time that we've seen this and we're halfway into. This is the part Kyle that upset me so much last night is I think the best way I could describe this when I read through it was either old crime dramas where people were being scapegoated, framed Patsy's set up and where it was a really, really weak individual.

You know the guy that you know, they've got him under the light, they're sweating him out, you know, and, and, and he and he's not a good guy. There's something else wrong in his background, whatever. But as I read through this, I was looking at a fucking Hollywood script. And I'm, I apologize for that, but that's why I couldn't sleep last night when I read this, is that they have manipulated this mind. Not 100%.

Look, look, look, let's let's let's be honest, high functioning autistic people can have superpowers. We all know about that. I mean, they can do sometimes they can do incredible. In fact, some, some autistic individuals who have no capability of interacting in public or within in society whatsoever have insane

superpowers. Yeah. And and so it it as I looked at this, though, and you see them, I all I could see was that, you know, that hot and I know it's Hollywood, but I could see that hot light over his head and he's being sweated and they're holding the water from him. You know, you got the the pack of cigarettes, you know, answer another question. I'll give you a cigarette. You know what I'm saying? This is the I'm reading this bad

being in my. 80s TV drama. It's 60s or 70s television. 50s B movie, you know, come on, drama and in black and white. And that's what I'm seeing here. And as I'm reading this, I'm becoming more and more and more offended by it, and more and more offended and appalled that these agents of our government, agents of the FBI, felt a need to go there. It's going to get worse when people understand why this bothered you so much. So I'm going to get into the

confession part of it right now. There's a couple of things that I'm going to call out that are really, really interesting to me. December 4th, 2025, law enforcement executed an arrest warrant for the defendant and took him into custody. Search warrants were executed at the defendant's person or on his person, his home, and his Nissan Sentra, and his workplace in Fairfax, VA. But interestingly enough, they didn't seize the vehicle. That's bizarre. And you can confirm that, right,

Steve? You saw the vehicle was outside of his home. With my own eyes a week and a half ago. Completely bizarre. The the Samsung cellular device that was seized from the defendant's person at the time of his arrest or there was a Samsung cellular device. OK, so he had a cell phone. The forensic review of the device context showed that between December of 2020 and December of 2025, the device recorded 943 events identified as a factory reset.

They put the word a wipe, which is a colloquial term including a wipe approximately 3 hours before the defendant's arrest on December the 4th of 2025. All right people, let's get real serious about this because this is the first stupid, stupid, stupid, foolish thing that they put in here that undermines their own case in their own defection, you know, their own expose of the of the confession. He had a cell phone and it was factory reset or wiped December of 2020.

That's before the pipe bomb was placed and also wiped 942 other times. Now that might sound like a very concerned and guilty conscience person who is doing some sort of a logical action to try to make sure that his online activity and his cell phone is not traceable by law enforcement. I'm going to roll down here because it's always in the footnote where you hide the lie, so here it is on page 12. The first factory reset took place on December the 15th, 2020. That's before, right?

He went and supposedly dropped pipe bombs in Washington DC on January the 5th. The next such event did not occur until July 15th of 2022. There's an almost 18 month gap between these two factory resets to the point where they have nothing to do with the case at all. And they included it because it sounds damning to someone who's not paying attention and doesn't read the footnote.

But the minute you read the footnote, you realize that apparently he dropped pipe bombs and then didn't worry about this for 18 months before he did it again. That that is the stupidest argument I've ever seen. I don't know how they thought this was even a plausible thing to put out there. I'm going to add one more thing to it, Steve, before you react to it.

Here's a little little AI summary of how online addiction could tie into this is. This was given to me by Armitas this morning, so I want to give credit where it's due. Yeah, compulsive digital cleaning as a ritual. Some people with severe online addictions, especially when they have comorbidities with autism, anxiety or OCD like traits, will develop an extreme habit around privacy, shame or control.

And this can include repeatedly deleting history, clearing apps, or in rare escalations go to full device resets or start fresh to hide traces of excessive use, whether it be from porn or gaming or forums or other things. Guilt and shame cycles in behavioral addictions often drive other over the top concealment efforts, even if they are ineffective in the long term. And there is a a known tie to autism spectrum disorder frequently overlapping with Internet addictions.

And then this sort of wiping behavior could also be tied to that. But the fact that there was no wipe that took place after the apparently guilty incident of dropping these pipe bombs is a massive shot through the middle of this this governmental case as far as I can tell. And I have no idea why they even included this in this in this briefing here. Now this, this is we, we got, we, we passed around a screen image.

And again, I apologize for being a little slow on the uptake here, but we passed around a screen image a couple of weeks ago after this arrest of Brian Cole, you know, of a book, an actual book that deals with the high confession rate of autistic individuals. Just start there. And we're we're not even here here. We're getting into the guilt aspects of what what whatever it is, you know, online pornography or, or some other, you know.

Or even someone that wanted to like go to bomb making forums if you're involved in people that are doing dumb things. By the way, those are probably all infiltrated. By this talk about that, OK, you know, I grew up in an era and I I hate going and you're playing the old guy here. But you know, I had friends that had bombed. You know, you ordered them online. It wasn't online at the time. You went to the back of a magazine, might be Mad magazine, it might be a science magazine.

But you ordered bomb making kits and the Postal Service delivered them to your home, right? And then my friends in the corner of the room would build little bitty, you know, bombs of various sizes and shapes and complexities of that sort of thing. And then we would go out and blow shit up. Yeah, this happened and you lived in Louisiana at the time where people might do that. People do it in Utah, People do it in Wyoming, Montana.

There's places in Texas where people, I mean, we, we have a family member who, who passed away that told us that they, they actually created her pool in Bedrock in the 1960s or 70s. And they did so by dynamiting and blasting through the rock. And that happened. And what they did is they laid chain link fencing over the top of the rocks that they were going to blow up. So they didn't go through the house and then they just blasted holes in the, in the bedrock.

And that's where they ended up putting the pool into the ground. And that happened as recently as, like I said, the 1970s in Texas, it's not uncommon for people to be able to use explosives all over the place. And so The funny thing is, is that there are all kinds of forms where people discuss this stuff.

And you don't have to be in America to be able to be on the Internet. You also could be in the FBI, it turns out, and they could be out there feeding these online communities to do some really bad stuff. But again, I'm going to go back to this little section here of these purchases. These were all made after every single one of these purchases of 50 feet of wire in red and

black. More steel wool, more alligator clips, more galvanized end caps, more 8 inch pipe, and another kitchen time were all made after he apparently dropped two successful bombs and got away with it in Washington DC as starting as little as three weeks after the fact. This is a completely illogical argument being made that he has some sort of like compulsion for OPSEC or what we call

operational security. And at the same time that he also is so dumb that he waited 17, you know, 18 months before wiping his phone after doing these things and drove around with all this information out there, which was easily gettable. I'm going to keep going, but I just want you to know that's the first massive hole that I saw. And one of the wildest parts of this, this little admission here is that they found all this stuff.

You know, that's fine. They also mentioned that they did a video recorded interview, folks. They interviewed this guy for four hours. And as is very uncommon in a lot of FBI interviews, the interview which was video recorded, the defendant initially denied manufacturing, transporting and planting the pipe bombs and he did so for two hours as they beaten down. He, he did a written, a written waiver of his Miranda rights and he was interviewed for multiple hours.

Here's the real problem with this. He has to be competent to be able to actually waive those Miranda rights for this to actually have any validity whatsoever. And I think there's a real strong statement that we've heard from people who knew him, people who were around him, including people who just sort of interacted with him in a in the public, that this guy didn't have the confidence to actually do that.

And if he did, we're going to have a problem if they find that he actually had no understanding of what was going on for two hours. He denied it and they broke him over 2 hours. We're going to get into that piece as well. But they said they asked him about his whereabouts. He said he drove his Nissan Sentra into DC. He attended A protest concerning

the outcome of the election. And then he says these things and we don't know where these happened in the interview, which is why this is kind of interesting and might be deceptive because it doesn't say that this happened in some sort of logical fashion. They didn't, they didn't give you a transcript of the interview to to evaluate the defendant explained. I didn't agree with what people were doing, just like telling half the country that they that their that they just need to ignore it.

I didn't think it was a good idea, so I went to the protest. It doesn't sound like somebody who's telling you something in confidence. So I'm just going to tell you that when this actual video put, I mean, I, if it was me, I'd play the first two hours of this, of this 4 hour video interrogation and then I would show exculpatory information showing that he wasn't maybe there. That's it, whether it be from DoorDash or anything else.

Kyle, you tell you tell me this because you've been there, you've been in the room. I I haven't done this, but if they've done any background on this kid whatsoever, OK, let's let's just assume for a moment that he was one of those 186 pings are in interested phone numbers going back five years. And let's assume that going back all that time ago they

eliminated him for some reason. Maybe they are limited to eliminated him from consideration because of his mental limitations and if they've done any background on him whatsoever. If they even had a surveillance squad out, which we know they didn't deploy one to like oh God it was. Yeah, November. Yeah, 5 or 8 days after, you know, our first story on this series came out and if they're watching the kid at all and then do this interview without an attorney present, without.

Here's where we know it's a real problem. Determining him competent. This has to be thrown out, doesn't it Kyle? Well, we've seen that they allowed him to keep his headphones on, which I've never seen somebody be able to keep personal. Effects mug shot. During his mug shot, yeah. So during the processing and I'm, I'm sure they wanted compliance, which is what you'd want. You want your subject not to lose their mind.

But if he was going to lose his mind because you took his headphones, that tells you who you're dealing with or what, what level of functionality you have. We're going to keep reading through this because this is this. I mean, we're just getting into the meat of how ridiculous this stuff is. But his own words, I don't think they incriminate him. I think they are exculpatory in a very big way. I think it all it does is it punches holes in what the government tried to put together.

And again, we don't know where these occurred in the discussion, whether these were at the one hour mark, the two hour mark 2, you know, three. My, here's my supposition. This is Kyle Seraphin's analysis. So take it for what it's worth. I think they took this guy in. He denied it for two hours because he didn't do it. And then I think they threatened him, which they mentioned threatening him in this particular document.

They threatened him with the felony, an additional felony of lying to the FBI, which is a, a, a 1001 charge, 18 USC 1001, false statements. And at that point, he basically caved and copped at everything. They gave him 20 more minutes to sit by himself and Stew. Then they came back in and collected what they needed and he essentially agreed to everything that they needed, including things that are completely illogical and you and I know to be false, Steve.

And so will his defense team very shortly. So here it goes. He says he didn't agree with it. Apparently this was about politics. Again. You have to remember that starting all the way back in 2018, he's buying sulfur and he's buying bomb making equipment and he's buying clips from Micro Center. But he didn't agree with the election. So that's what's going on here. Then he goes on and they just basically try to address all of the bullshit that they've been sold.

OK. And it looks like this the the defendant has never been an openly political person and doesn't discuss politics with his family to avoid conflict. They know that his family is a very left-leaning. According to the defendant, no one knows his political views

including his family. The defendant stated that he does not align politically with his family members and doesn't and did not tell them he was going to a protest in support of then President Trump. Now, this looks like something I don't even know why you would. All right. Later in the interview, the defendant explained that after the 2020 election, when it first seemed like something was wrong and stuff started happening. Their words, not mine, they're

quoting him. He began following the issue closely on YouTube and Reddit and felt bewildered. In the defendant's view, if people, quote, feel that, you know, something as important as voting in the federal election is being tampered with is being, you know, being, you know, relegated null and void, then like someone needs to speak up, right? Someone up top, you know, just to just to at the very least calm things down.

End Quote. The defendant felt that, quote, UN quote, people at the top, including, quote, people on both sides. Public figures, End Quote, should not quote, ignore people's grievances or call them conspiracy theorists, bad people, Nazis, or fascists. I don't know when this occurred in there, but this sounds like we're just telling you what you need to hear. Instead. Quote. If people feel like their votes are like just being thrown away, then at the very least someone should address it.

This is where it gets really fun for me. As the interview continued, the defendant maintained that he did not plant the pipe bombs. So they're indicating that this happened, like in a logical sequence, that he was mad about the election. But I'm not confident that they are because they don't actually say that in here.

And so, again, a transcript is going to be very important, but the actual video footage of him saying this and the degree of confidence we can assign to it is going to be huge. Steve, here's the part that I think we all really care about. As the interview continued, the defendant maintained he did not

plant the pipe bombs. However, when the defendant was shown a pair of Nike Air Max Speed turf shoes, he admitted that he quote, used to have a pair and stated that he quote, threw them away because they were old and they were coming apart. No further information as we like to say in the business. We know that one of them was squeaky. We do, actually. Armitas was able to identify on one of the audio cameras. Squeak. In the in the walk.

Shoe Yeah, in the walk that one of the one of the the the pair of shoes was squeaking. So here's what we know from that little statement in this throwaway line that the government filed in the confession. They basically asked them about shoes. And now they, they've explained why they don't have to produce the shoes, which they said this case hinged on because he threw

them away. They do that with multiple pieces of evidence that they would need to have, I would think, after approximately 2 hours, during which the defendant maintained that he did not place the bombs. Are we serious right now? I mean, I know you can do a long interrogation of people and sometimes people crack under pressure. That's certainly the case. But they went at him for two hours and they continued on until they got what they needed to hear.

One of the interviewing agents asked the defendant if he wanted to end the interview and he responded that everything is just blank. His words quote. Everything is just blank and quote a little too much to process. OK. The interviewing agents then suggested that the defendant look at the video footage from the night of January the 5th of 2021. Would you like to see this video? Here we have it. When the defendant was thrown a still image of himself on video.

That's that's a conclusory right there. That's what they would call conclusory language. In the filing a still image of himself on surveillance video close to the time of planting the bombs. He stated that he did not recognize the person and did not previously seen the video. Well, here's the problem with that. I think a lot of people have

already seen this video, right? And then he claims later on that he has in fact seen the video and that's why he did all the things like get rid of the evidence. So he's contradicted himself in there. We're supposed to believe one, not the other. Anyway, that's that's the way confessions work. People will lie until they don't lie, unless they lie to make you leave the room and stop badgering them.

The interviewing agents reminded the the defendant that lying to them was an additional criminal offense and asked the defendant again whether the individual, whether he was the individual on the surveillance video. At this time, the defendant paused for approximately 15 seconds, placed his head down on the table, and answered yes. See this was the the bad 50s B movie that I saw. This is exactly how this is taught at the Academy, by the way.

You're supposed to basically tell them we know this was you, and then they're supposed to just give up. That's what the role players do. They give up and they say, yeah, it was me. I've been lying for the last two hours and and I've been telling you what you want to hear now, so I'm going to tell you the rest of it.

After the defendant's admission, the interviewing agents explained to him that they could either continue to discuss his actions on January the 5th or they could stop the interview altogether and transport the defendant to court for his initial appearance. This is where it gets real weird. Does he understand what's going on? The the the agents explained what initial appearance is and that if the defendant continued the interview, he would have to appear in court the following

day. So there's your delay. The defendant asked for times to process things and the agent stepped out of the interview room for approximately 20 minutes and they let him steal on it. When they returned, the defendant expressed his interest in continuing the interview and executed a written waiver to delay his presentment to the court until the next day. We need obviously the competency hearing is going to be really

important here. I want people to understand exactly what we are dealing with. Over the next approximately 1 1/2 hours, the defendant walked the interviewing agents in detail through his construction, transportation, and planting of the pipe bombs.

The defendant explained that he made the black powder in the devices using charcoal Lily Miller sulfur dust, which they show the Amazon which he bought in 2018, folks when he was mad about the election of 2020, and potassium nitrate that he purchased from Lowe's. The defendant mixed these ingredients in a Pyrex bowl and used a spoon or maybe a measuring cup to pour the black powder into the devices.

According to the defendant, he learned to make the black powder from a video game that listed the ingredients and he also viewed various science related videos on YouTube that assisted him in creating devices. What I do not see on here is the the Google warrant that shows that they actually have this information and they've had time to get it. They've had what, two months now? Yeah, I'm. I'm flabbergasted by what's not in here, as usual. Actually, it's not even two

months, but. Well, they started sometime in November and now we're here at the end of of December, which means they had November and December to be able to do these warrants, you know, before and after the the arrest, they still should have been able to go after the stuff. And they got this confession on the 4th. So theoretically they've had 25 days to pull this from Google.

Regarding the construction of the devices, the defendant explained that he used a hand drill and bit to drill the end caps on the device that use pliers to crimp the alligator clips and use kitchen timers rather than alarm clock timers because these kitchen timers were easier to use. Let's talk a little bit about drilling steel with a hand drill. You ever done this, Steve? I'm going to let you filibuster on that one while I take a short break. Please do.

All right folks, real simple here. If you've ever tried to drill anything with a hand drill that's made of metal, you will find yourself in the weirdest position because it will walk. The bit will walk. Unless you have a very, very tiny, you know, pilot pointed carbide drill bit, you are not going to be able to do this sort of thing. And what we saw in the pictures that they showed of those bombs is that we don't have a scrolling walking drill bit that caused the problem.

That's problem #1 does he have a vise to be able to hold this? Was he holding this with his hand and then potentially putting holes in his hand? Because that's what happens. Ask me how I know. When you hold a piece of steel with your hand and try to do a hand drill into it, you've got to put a ton of pressure behind it so it actually bites in in the 1st place. And then the second thing is, is that if it doesn't walk, that means that you had it firmly

help what they call the work. You have to hold that end cap. These are rounded end caps that have a curve. So they're already going to need to go somewhere if you don't have a jig to hold it or a punch to make a starter hole. So you have something to to get going. There's no way that this got done. And I'm guaranteeing that this kid probably doesn't have the upper body strength there or even the experience to do this.

I've drilled tons of metal for, no, you know, I'm always making holes and stuff and then putting screws in where they don't belong and holding things together that I broke, stuff like that. The idea that he used a hand drill, this is the most basic like explanation of something that doesn't make sense if these agents had ever done any work with steel. All right, I'm going to keep

reading here. When he asked where he kept the bomb making materials, the defendant explained that he hid them in a closet inside his home so they would not be found by a

family member. The defendant stated that he assembled these devices in the hours before he drove to Washington, DC on January the 5th, that he cleaned the devices with disinfectant wipes, and eventually he admitted that he did not go to January 6th to attend to protest at all, but in fact traveled there to plant the devices. He transported his devices on January 5th inside of a shoe box in the back of his Nissan Sentra. He wore a mask and a hood to avoid identification.

He wore gloves to avoid leaving fingerprints. The defendant arrived in the city, parked his car on D St. SE between 2nd and 3rd and near Folger Park and Providence Park. I think they're talking about Providence, which is also looks like Garfield Park. All right, this is really wild. So he tells you where he parked. So we have to believe that that's where he went. If this is correct, and that means that he was so low, that's also part of it. Here, it's implied that he was by himself.

The defendant placed one of the devices in his backpack. He exited his car, and he walked towards the DNC. He set the timer on the first device, a maximum amount which was 60 minutes, and placed that device near the DNC. The defendant then returned to his car, uh oh, retrieved the second device and placed it in his backpack and walked to the RNC where he set the timer for 60 minutes and planted the

device. The defendant explained that he had to use Google Maps to look up these locations in advance, but apparently didn't need them in the moment. A place that he'd never really been in was walking in the dark. If you guys have ever tried to walk in the dark in Washington DC and you're not familiar with the area because some of the streets don't actually follow like a grid, I think we're going to run up here real quick and I'm going to show you the map

that we're talking about. Again, just so we're on the same page. You've got the grid streets here like South Capitol Street and and 2nd St. They go North and South almost perfectly. You've got the the edges here of C St. SE, which is on the North End. You got D Street and then you've also got E Street. But you have all these illogical little moments that happen inside of this little area. Look at this folks we're talking about.

We're talking about streets that cut randomly across the area that you're in. Here's North Carolina, you've got New Jersey, they come in on angles. You've got Canal Street, which goes into Washington Ave. SW that comes in at an angle. You've got this bizarre little St. here that runs behind the DNC that starts off going east, West, but ends up going basically N northwest, or what is that? North, East and southwest, it has a big bend in it. There's these little alleyways

that take random turns. If you guys can see, you have to probably turn the contrast up on your phone or on your screen. But there's all kinds of these little inlets that are completely illogical. You did that from memory, having never been there. All of that. I, I, I strain to understand what's going on with this story. We're going to continue back down. We're about most the way through what he's talking about.

He said that he used Google Maps to look at the locations in advance and apparently memorized the map, and then after planting the devices, he left the car, picked up food from a restaurant in Virginia, and he returned home. That part might actually be true. Kyle, if he used Google Maps, there was one thing that's not on the Google Maps is where the blind spots are in the United States Capitol Police television system or camera system, right?

Because this person appears out of nowhere at 7:34 PM. Parked a vehicle where where it couldn't be identified even by the FBI when they went and got them right. Absolute knowledge of the blind spots shows up a block from the Fairchild Building, which is a Capitol Police facility, storage and and otherwise. And then magically and a completely other sector at Folger Park disappears for 8 minutes and then magically disappears out a secret gate in that alleyway into the church garden, St.

Peter's church garden. Oh, you got that pulled up I. Got a better map. I went and pulled it while we were talking here. So this is the the close map. They the northern edge up here is this D street, these two green dots you guys will see there's the RNC and there's the DNC. So let's make this most of the screen so we can see what's going on here.

And those are two parks. There's Providence Park and Folgers Park. OK, let's let's assume for a moment, let's go back to Folger there, all right, and make sure everybody can see where Folger is. Let's get. Closer. Let's get closer. And this is the RNC part of the loop, so there we go. OK, now let's identify where the RNC is. It's up here on the green dot. OK, now if you will look at that alleyway that runs in the middle, right behind the RNC, runs all the way to the back.

Just drag. Yeah, there you go. You got the cursor going in the right direction. This Rumsey. Court. Drag that cursor along Rumsey all the way. Keep going to the right, to the right, to the right to the right. Go around that that that green area right there and keep going. Now go up where those cars are. OK. All right. And then there's a secret gate right back here where it is believed that the bomber disappeared through into that

little garden. Now you've got the garden Perfect. Got it absolutely nailed. This looks like a camera. Line. Yeah. And how do you see that from a from Google Earth? He doesn't look like you can get through here. No, he didn't do this on Google. He didn't know that. That gate, the gates got a hidden latch on it. I've been through that gate

twice myself. This is what we're looking at planning out and apparently the car was parked at somewhere like right around here, 2nd St. and D Street, so right in this little area. OK, So either under this cover here or somewhere over on this side, one of these sides here, that's the claim where the where the vehicle was. Yeah. And I've, I've stood on these corners and that that one in the one up there on C St. A crop behind from behind the Madison building.

I've stood on those corners and looking, I mean looking for cameras, and it's absolutely without significant amount of foreknowledge or plea planning that this kid would know where those blind spots were. Here's what I'm also pointing out to people to understand. Look, you got these cut insurance, this, this alley here. I mean, this one's coming in on a 45° angle. So again, not just a perfect grid, same story here. This one actually curves and then changes angle multiple

times. It's so easy to get turned around. One of the easiest things to do is to know that you've got basically like my next right is going to be taking me north to here, my next left is going to take me South, etcetera. If you want to do it on a grid, that's really easy to do if all of your streets line up and grids and your alleys do that. But that is not how Washington DC is laid out. And even these parks have cross angles here that are going to take you.

And all of those things are tricky in the dark. Some of these look at the circle and fold your park. I mean you end up on one of these where you continue into the park and then you end up on a circle. You're not doing that in an 8 minute like direct. This is basically where we see like right around here, am I right? It was where the the cameras disappear and so from down here on East St. and roughly.

Canal Street or New Jersey? Like out here, this is where there's a disappearance and so there's a walk that's basically a straight line shot over here to where the car would have had to have been, which we believe probably happened. And then did, you know, appearing back on camera to to run on 2nd and and C St. to go drop the RNC type bomb. All of these things are really well squared away. And that's not what this guy is explaining.

Anyway, we're going to go back into the the actual document here as we continue on because. You you can't make up like he he was mad about the political parties. But apparently we're going to ignore the fact that there were two previous targets or at least two previous dwelling moments where the hooded figure stopped the the Bush outside of the Congressional Black Caucus Institute not mentioned at all nor the Congressional boarding house where there was obviously

some time spent. How do we know about the Congressional boarding house? What does that look like, Steve on video that that we think that was an initial target. It's a it's a pause. And on a Yep, you have to look at the way the the behavior of that bomber was at the other locations. It was, it was a pause, a very

interesting place to the bomber. And it seemed to be like the bomber was reaching and maybe, possibly waiting to, you know, do something specific there at the correctional boarding house. And then a couple of cop cars came around the corner and changed. Changed. Changed the momentum at that moment. Now, of course, that didn't happen over at the CBCCBCI Bush.

There was no interruption by any outside force, by any flashing lights, the cherries and berries of a, you know, Capitol Police car or a couple of cars making a traffic stop or whatever it was right at the other place. Now, we also have the other curiosity in that our POI, too, also took photos of that congressional boarding house. So there's that. One of that one of those open questions yet to be answered. Just just people wondering how this works.

I'll put this back up on the screen for a second here as we kind of consider it. But this is the video, guys, that if you have not seen it before, This is the hooded figure person of interest one which the FBI has claimed is Brian Cole Junior. Making an interesting stop at this Bush outside of the Congressional Black Caucus Institute just for the benefit of people who are new to the channels or that are new to the podcast. This is what Baker and The Blaze and Armitas have revealed

previously. You're seeing a daylight image up on the top right with an arrow. You're seeing an inset, and then on the left is magnified. I actually think the picture on the right is the easiest to see. There's a circle that's kind of like lightened up where the hooded figure sits down and you'll see that in just one

moment. But sits down at a Bush outside the Congressional Black Caucus Institute and appears to be going into the backpack, appears to extract something from the backpack and then place it under the Bush and then retrieve it from the Bush. Whether something was broken or whatever else was going on there. There was obviously some sort of like little moment.

You can see we've seen probably what, 2 cars so far, Steve, that have driven by not high, high volume traffic going on in Washington, DC at this exact moment. Just there's your third car. None of them are blue Nissan Sentras, by the way, just as we're looking here. We just want to know if that's a really common car in Washington, DC. So you can see that there's

still this thing. This is 77 seconds of placing something underneath and kind of just screwing around underneath this Bush. I will. I'll make sure you guys can can see this. Again, this is in Steve Baker's timeline. This has been in mine as well. Then you've got the hooded figure getting ready to stand up and walks away off camera to the right into the darkness. Then you Fast forward to the finding of pipe bomb #2 which we believe was placed first

according to the the videos. And here's your capital police officers, surveillance units, the counter surveillance guys looking underneath that Bush they're dwelling right now. They are directly above the flashing lights of the police car. And the they are just off to the left of that signage which has the, the traffic light on them. You can see there's people that are meandering around. Those look like, are those law enforcement do we think? OK. Yeah, yeah, where the hell is

this thing? And so here they're going to walk past the Bush again and you're going to see a stop and A and a a full hip turn. And there's an inset that's that's magnified. But you see the Capitol Police officers actually look underneath that Bush a little bit more aggressively and then continue on. And then they found the Bush and they found it straight away in just a few minutes afterwards next to where it was eventually found outside that that DNC bench that was sitting out there

in the area. So the counter surveillance officers in their most recent interview, their answer for why the entire 12 minutes or so that they're on the lookout for, you know, they're looking for devices, right? This is this is what we've been told for years, is that they were deployed specifically, there was three teams of two that were out to look for additional devices after the RNC

bomb was found. But what it turns out is that after we revealed all the video of their entire route, we never see them looking for anything. In fact, most of the time they're just looking at their phones as you're walking down the street, right? So they're not looking in trash cans, they're not looking under other bushes, they're not looking behind cars, they're not looking anywhere. They never look. Well, they had an explanation

for that. They actually said that their explanation for why they weren't looking under things and behind things was because they were actually looking for humans with handheld detonators. Now, Steve, you're a bright guy. I like to think I'm a pretty capable observer. Whenever I find someone who's dropped pipe bombs using a a kitchen dial timer, I immediately assume that there also might be some sort of command detonation capabilities.

Maybe that's because I had a little bit of demo training, which Steve Deantuano decided to call out in congressional testimony in 2023. But I have actually seen what the difference is between a remote detonation, a command wire detonation, and then these sort of like completely illogical timer based detonations, which you had 60 minutes but didn't go off. But we're totally viable if you

believe the FB is case. I want to keep reading this doc here that I mean, that's wildly bizarre too, as you said. What did you say was the most coached theatrical kind of interview? Yeah, they said the the the investigator actually said that it was to the point of overacting. Perfect. That's overacting if you say that I'm looking for somebody with a detonator in their hand when we're looking at bombs that have kitchen timers on them. All right.

According to the defendant, he was not really thinking how people would react when the bombs detonated, although he hoped it would be news about it. The defendant then stated he had not tested the devices before planting them, claimed that he learned that the devices did not detonate, and he was, quote, pretty relieved and asserted that he placed the devices at night because he didn't want to kill people.

After seeing himself on the news, the defendant stated that he discarded all the bomb making materials at a nearby dump. But then apparently we're supposed to also forget that he kept buying fucking bomb making materials for the next year and a half. So there's that. All right, Pope, listen, I'm just telling you what the FBI claims in there or what the what the DOJ is claiming.

After seeing himself on the news, the defendant stated that he discarded all the bomb making materials he had at a nearby dump. I wonder if they ever went and unearthed that. You'd imagine they would do that. And then we go back to the fact that, Oh yeah, he actually was still buying them three weeks later. When was this on the news?

Immediately. But in January he was buying more kitchen tibers in January and March and in October of 21 he's buying more pipe in. Let's see, this is April and June and June and June and October, he's buying more end caps. And in March and March and August he's buying additional end caps. And he's buying more wire in June, and he's buying more steel wool in January. And he's got more alligator clips from Home Depot in January, 3 weeks after the

freaking bombing. But he threw it all away. He threw all of his bomb making stuff away in the dump, but then he also went and bought more of it just so he could have more of it. Well, there were, there were going to be additional elections coming up, so. He probably already knew the, the he was probably excited he was going to make actually some explosives that were celebratory when Donald Trump won in 2024, since he's such a big Trump guy.

All right, so the defendant stated he didn't tell anyone about the pipe bombs before planting them, nor in the years since. And although the defendant denied building additional explosive devices, he admitted that sometime after he built the the pipe bombs used in this case, he purchased beakers and then conducted another science experiment to create potassium chlorate, which he claimed was unrelated to bomb making but is generally used for making explosives and fireworks and so on.

When the interviewing agents returned to the defendant's motive, he explained that quote, something just snapped after quote watching everything, just everything getting worse. The defendant wanted to do something quote to the parties because they were in charge. When asked why he placed the devices at the RNC and the DNC, the defendant responded. I don't, I really don't like either party at this point.

Then the defendant pointed out that the idea to use pipe bombs came from his interest in history. This is my favorite claim in the entire document. Folks. Market page 17. The defendant also explained that the idea to use pipe bombs came from his interest in history, specifically Baker. You know, this is something that is near and dear to all people's hearts who are Black bronies living in Northern Virginia, specifically the Troubles in Ireland.

He was mostly interested in the plight of the Irish Republican Army and Sinn Fein in Ireland as they fought against the British monarchy in Northern Ireland in the 70s and 80s. That's immediately where I would have gone too. I would have been like, you know what? When I start thinking about what's going on today, I start thinking about can we have, can we have like an IRA in America and maybe the troubles. Maybe he's been through his own potato famine. Maybe he has.

Maybe he really does believe that there should be no kings, and so he's actually bought that from the left in the future. Right. Maybe he's commiserated with the H block. You know, hunger fast. You know, fasters that fasted themselves to death in those British prisons. Of course that was that happened before he was born, so he wouldn't. When I think about the troubles in Ireland, I often think about pipe bombs too. I don't think about any of the

other things that were used. No, I just, I immediately go to pipe bombs and ski masks and, and orange and and white and and green and. OK, so that's the story guys. Page 17 of 23. The defendant explained that he, he came up with the idea of pipe bombs because of the troubles in Ireland. And if you believe that I've got some other things I'd like to sell you, please go to our merch store. It's the dash dependables.com.

Just buy anything. You'll love it because you'll love anything 'cause you just love slop. The defendant denied that his actions were directed towards Congress or the proceedings that were going to take place on January the 6th. So this was not related to January 6th at all. That's helpful. OK, then they make the argument that he poses a risk to the community if you believe any of the bullshit that they slung in

this particular document. All of this stuff is so wild to me. Why do you think that they did not ask him why he sat down for 77 seconds at the CBC under that Bush? Well, that would completely destroy our case. Obviously, Steve, we want to have somebody just agree to the nonsense, but we don't want someone to. This is where it gets even worse. So this is the nature and circumstances of the charge defenses.

Again, the government is basically saying that we don't know how he did this or why he did this. So what we love is that he told us, and that's good enough for us because everyone knows that a confession that's been, you know, issued after two hours of of denials by a guy who's either developmentally delayed or is, you know, autistic or has some sort of developmental issues, that's going to be 100% airtight. The defendant may have reached a

psychological breaking point. His crimes were anything but impulsive. Well, he told you something just snapped. But yeah, they were anything but impulsive because apparently he was doing it for literally years. And then they go on to say that the defendants pipe bombs and the fear and terror they instilled in the general public were the product of weeks of premeditation and planning. Well, to use their own documents I would say it would be years. Years.

It has to go back to to 2018 now, yeah. 2. 1018 we've expanded it. With this particular document, the defendant purchased the components he used to construct the bombs over a series of months, including a before and after the 2020 election, which right there tells you that it makes no sense that he would do it because of the election. Why was he building them beforehand?

And then they also take him at his word without having any documentation saying, by the way we substantiated what he said by watching YouTube science videos and playing video games. He was able to disassemble, assemble the devices, whatever the this is my favorite line too, Steve.

Whatever the precise contours of the defendants research and preparation are, which the FBI essentially is admitting they don't know whatever they were, it was sufficiently extensive for him to assemble 2 pipe bombs 10 the hours leading up to his travel to Washington DC, because apparently he built them on January 5th. It was sophisticated enough for him to construct, Here's that word again.

Viable explosive devices using all the components necessary to cause an explosion, despite the fact that it didn't in fact cause an explosion. And then he got rid of all of his bomb making materials because he was worried, along with the shoes, which he got rid of because he said they were falling apart. But the good news is then he went out and bought more of them.

The calculated nature of the defendant's criminal conduct over an extended period of time should feature prominently in the court's detention determination. This obviously the entire document is meant to make sure that he stays behind bars. And we haven't even explored the whereabouts of the possibility, we'll just call it that, that these bombs were removed after they were placed the evening before and then replaced. That they weren't actually laying out for anybody to find all.

Their noon? Yeah, sometime after 12:00. We'll call that the Julie Kelly theory because she really likes that. Yeah. Well. I know she's not the originator of it. Let me let me continue this a little bit because we're almost to the end here. Perhaps more than anything else, this is directly quoting from the document. Again, perhaps more than anything else, the defendant's choice of targets demonstrates the extreme and deeply dangerous nature of his conduct.

Although the defendant acquired the bomb making components in the month leading up to January 5th, also known as the Years, he chose to plant them at the headquarters of the nation's two major political parties in downtown Washington, DC on the eve of the January 6th certification of the Electoral College vote. Which, by the way, in his own words, had nothing to do with what he was doing. But that doesn't matter. We're making an argument here.

In his own words, the defendant said that he did not quote like either party, but they were in charge and thus they were, in the defendant's mind, an appropriate target for extreme acts of violence. The defendant's choice of targets risked the life of innocent people and pedestrians and office workers, but also of law enforcement, first responders and national political leaders who were inside the respected party headquarters or drove to them on

January the 6th. Except theoretically, they were supposed to blow up before that. In this sense, the defendant's invocation of the Troubles in Northern Ireland is telling. Did someone write this with a straight face? The bombings. Bombings were used frequently throughout that period to kill officials and civilians. For political purposes, the court should consider the gravity of the defendant's targets in assessing the nature of the charge. Defenses. Buddy. Mr. Baker?

Yeah. Man. It goes on. There's a couple more pages here. They're mostly, they're mostly not relevant to what we're making the argument of. Should we go to the motion that the government filed and then the this was the government's motion. Rather, should we go to the to the answer that the defense played? Yeah, this is this is actually pretty powerful. I'm very pleased with the new legal team. They seem to be coming out of the chutes with the intent to defend Brian Cole.

I wasn't so sure about the previous attorney. I actually had concerns because of their lack of response, lack of candor, that they were working for the wrong team, as a matter of fact. This is a motion that is from the defense and I'm going to call this a check raise. If you guys are familiar with the way poker works, sometimes you can bait somebody into playing a hand and they will, you'll check to them, you'll say we'll defer to you.

And in in this case, the check would have been that they will defer the the detention and preliminary hearing until the 30th instead of requiring it to be done in the 1st 15 days, which is required by the Speedy Trials Act. So they checked to the government and the government they decided to, you know, to play at them and they said yeah. And we've got this confession and we're feeling good to go. And then once the check comes around, they raise on top of it.

And so the defense filed this motion. This is the defendant Brian Cole Junior's motion to confirm a preliminary hearing date. And this was filed yesterday. All right, The documents that we're looking at from the previous still an order. This is document 17 was filed yesterday. We've also got document 21 in

this case. And what it says is Defendant Brian Cole, Junior, the underside counsel respectfully moves the court to confirm that the hearing already set for Tuesday, December 30th of 2025, will proceed as Rule 5.1, Preliminary Hearing and Detention Hearing and enforce the statutory timeline and remedy provided by 18 USC 3060 in the event the government objects to a preliminary hearing On this date. Mr. Cole has not waived his right to a preliminary hearing where they will assess what

probable cause exists. This is different than going to grand jury, folks. And this is where it gets really interesting because if they, if they allow this to continue a continuance that would take them into next year, the DOJ would take this in front of a grand jury, which is 1 sided. It's the government's case only and they represent what they've got and then a grand jury decides what it is. Maybe they snow them with that ping BS.

Maybe they try to go out there and say he had all the materials so therefore he was the guy. And they sort of don't necessarily bring up the fact that he continued buying bomb making materials after he apparently threw out the bomb making materials because he was worried about being found out. And then he started wiping his phone before the event and then 18 months after the event and then did so compulsively 942 times over the next, you know, whatever it is, couple years.

And like that means something. Maybe maybe a, a civilian grand jury might be snowed by that, but I suspect a judge might not be nearly as much. The parties previously set the date of December the 30th and the 20 of 2025 as the date for the detention hearing. The defense did not rave waive the right to this preliminary hearing and to the contrary, it is consistently expected that it would proceed on December the

30th. This could actually all end with some exculpatory evidence presented, which they're allowed to do to show that there's not even probable cause to keep this guy in in prison that they would have to actually they could even they could drop this case tomorrow and there's AI would say if they if they do their job right, they can throw this thing

out. I don't know if they'll do that, but this is what the government apparently sent an e-mail asking to push the preliminary hearing to either January 7th or 8th. But the defense says that it comes too late and it does not meet the Rule 5.1 D rigorous standard. In other words, the government is realizing that their bluff is being called here. And this is my reading of this.

The court should confirm that the the December 30th hearing is not just a detention hearing but also a preliminary hearing and direct the government to be prepared to present its evidence in support of probable cause. I would I would say that if I was in this scenario, I would not want this at all folks. I would not want to be presenting this case to anybody, certainly not a judge that's going to look at it and and has a presumption of innocence because this is so weak.

It continues to be the thinnest case outlined. And then they go on to talk about Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure and talking about that there is a prompt probable cause determination that's supposed to be made. Usually you have no less than it can be no later than 14 days after the initial appearance. But in this case they had some extraordinary circumstances. They bumped it back a little ways. What it does require is that there is a extraordinary circumstance and justice

requires the delay. This is the only reason that the government could say, aha, yes, we need additional time because of these things. And the and the defense is arguing they didn't meet that motion. What the government is trying to do is kick it in the next year so they can go to a grand jury and bypass this, this adversarial preliminary hearing where the defense has the ability to go and question probable cause.

Forget, forget actual like guilt, you know, and and the and the beyond reasonable doubt, they can question whether or not there's even probable cause and that should happen tomorrow. That's what the defense is asking for, which I think is very encouraging. Again, Steve was saying that we watched kind of a kind of a limp wristed start to this defense, but this is a much more full throated statement that says that they're actually going to defend this.

Case now I'm very I'm very pleased with this and nothing would obviously nothing would please me more to see a judge just hit the pause button on this thing send him home, you know at least until they the government can get their act together on this. I I you know I think that I think the case is too big it's got too much of a profile already for the regardless of who the judge is regardless of

the political ramifications. I think that they're going to have to probably I don't want them to but I think they're probably going to have to detain this kid in some manner up until this point. Hopefully he's not sitting in in a look. Let me, let me let me tell you, let me tell you a story real quick. I was at Matt Kibby's Christmas party Thursday a week and a half ago, and this was the day before I really got sick and I was

feeling great. Congressman Thomas Massie was there among many other people, a couple other dignitaries and Congress members. And we were talking about the kids, this possibility that this Brian Cole was sitting in solitary confinement and Massey literally genuine, genuinely, his heart was aching for this young man and expressing that to me into a crowd of people that we were talking to and how much

that that was hurting. He said the words he said, this hurts my heart to think that this kid is sitting in a solitary confinement somewhere. And I, you know, they're certainly not going to have him in the general population. He's going to be in protected custody. And but to break up the routine, I mean, let's look 5 minutes to Wapner, right? The, the, the headphones, his routine going to the 711 every day, two orders, 2 Cokes and a

slice of pizza every day. And these routines he can't break up. And even talking to the neighbors, his route when he walked the dog twice a day was a very specific route that very, very rarely, if ever altered at all. And this is typical of the, of individuals with this particular mental wiring. And so then you Fast forward a couple of days and I and I, I, I don't want, I didn't get permission from the congressman to, to say this yet or to, you know, but I'm going to thank him

publicly for what he did. That's right, I think it has to be. What's that? I think it has to be done. Yeah. I, I, when I went to the emergency room on Sunday here in North Carolina, there was something that I needed to tell the congressman badly. There was something that I had been sitting on for a couple of days that I learned on Friday of a week, week and a half ago, Something which if you've followed Johanneman's X account at all he talked about there's

it's deeper and darker. This J6 pipe bomber case is deeper and darker than has yet to be revealed. And Joe alluded to that in one of his post. And this was while I was going through with what I was going through. And the congressman had already left. DCI was still there. I was still there until Saturday afternoon, but he flew out on Friday and to begin his holiday and I sent him a note and I said, I'm probably in order to tell you this because I can't

speak this over a telephone. I need to get on an airplane. I need to come see him. And he was, he was like, come on. Then all of a sudden everything in my life changed on Sunday, Sunday evening and multiple procedures through the night and then the next morning and in between one of these procedures where they knock me out, I get a message from the congressman and he said, I'm flying to Raleigh,

I'm coming to see you. And I'm and I've I've already got scheduled another procedure where they're going to go in and ZAP my heart, you know, to try to knock it back into sink to jam some sort of device down my throat. And you know, went in and and then hit me with the. Yes, they did a transesophageal cardio version. Yeah, something, whatever it's called, yeah. That's what it's called. And so of course, they, you know, they put me under general anesthetic for that.

And he's, he's, he's, he's in the air. He's, I mean, I'm, I'm on a table somewhere in this, you know, the bowels of this new cardiac center in Raleigh. And he's flying to, to the hospital to see me. He and his wife and I come out of it. I get they transferred me. I've been in ER the night before in the, I'm sorry, intensive care ICU the night before. So they transferred me to a regular room after this particular procedure and got my heart back under control.

And then sure enough, Congressman shows up in my hotel room and he and his wife and they sat there with me for four hours through into late into the evening on on Monday. And this is, this is the guy who's taking more heat from MAGA right now than anybody else, more heat from the Trump

supporters than anybody else. I mean, the, the, the reality is he's more, he's more MAGA and he's more the guy that Trump campaigned to be then then the, the party or the people or those who claim to be. But he's also he's a sincere and purposeful human being who's not compromised by the system. And when he reached out to me several weeks ago after our first story in this series came out and I had not seen him since his since his wife died year and a half ago, his previous wife,

obviously. And he sent me a message and he said, Hey, Steve, he said, let's get together. He said, we got to we got to get caught up on all of this. And he said, oh, by the way, I'm still not compromised. And I thought that was the greatest thing in the world, you know, for him to put that out there in a manner he did and he and he's not and. Let me let me say that one more time for people that are following it. And listen, if you guys, I'm watching our chat and the chat's

like what's the point? I don't understand. It's like, OK, listen, first of all, my buddy just got out of the hospital. So give the man a break. Like Steve. Plus, Steve and I tend to have meandering stories. That's just the nature of the man. So deal with it y'all. But here's the most important part Steve Baker told Thomas Massie, the congressman, I have something I want to share with you and I'm going to fly out to tell you because I can't do it

over the phone. Tom Massie found out that Steve Baker was in the hospital. He reached out to me and talked to me, said, you know what The thing is? I said, I don't. But I know he wanted to tell you. And I know it's really important to him. And the next time I talked to Steve to Congressman Massie, which was a couple hours after that, it was I did the podcast and I got a phone call and he said, I'm in Raleigh and I'm driving up to go see him right now in the hospital. He got on a plane.

What was it the day before Christmas or two days before? It was like a. Couple days before Christmas. Every He had family in town, he had grandchildren and all the things that you'd expect. And he didn't tell us we could tell the story, but we're doing it anyway because the man showed up in a hospital room when nobody else did.

And also just a little shout out to one of our friends, a former FBI guy who's retired and decided to go up there, took it upon himself to go and keep watch over our friend Steve Baker. There's some real people out there that are that are genuine. And there are people out there

that pretend to be genuine. And if you guys want to know what's genuine, it's jumping on a plane on December 23rd when you got family in town because somebody tells you they might be on their deathbed and they've got something they need to share with you. And you decide that it's important enough to show up. And how much credibility did that give you with the story that you were telling the doctors when when you had a congressman flying across the country to come talk to you? Yeah.

Well, I had, I had some concerns about the timing of this particular event and particularly when you look at some of the things we've been writing stories about for the last year. And so one of the things that I requested of the surgeons were or the, the, the docs there was that they would do a, you know, much more extensive blood study and. Toxicology. Yeah, Toxicology screen. Toxicology and, and they looked at me, you know, like I was a tinfoil hat kind of guy.

And so finally one of the one of the main guys, the guy that actually did that, that last procedure on me, he said and I, I was already in recovery and he said he goes, I don't, you know, he goes, look, I'm not trying to question you or anything. He goes, but is there anybody in your family or that can verify and validate your concerns? And I said, well, I said according to the message I have right here, I said that the congressman will be here in an hour.

You can check in with him if you want to. And that sealed the deal for me, right? Anyway, people you can, you can judge people by their fruits, you can judge them by their actions. This was right in the middle of the, of the Epstein file, you know, signature and the, and the deadline that was coming up on that and the, the failure to release all that information.

So it's not like Massey didn't have other things that were going on. But for a guy to take it out of his, you know, very busy schedule, which he is, and he's a very prominent congressman to pick up and fly out to go see, you know, Steve in the hospital and, and, and, and nobody would ever know, by the way, none of you would know that if we didn't tell you. And we're telling you because it's important. It tells you who Massey is. I mean, this obviously was also all out of his pocket.

He flew himself, his wife there. There was no direct flight from eastern KY where he lives to Raleigh. He had to fly to Charlotte, rent a car. It's a 3 hour drive drive to Raleigh and then spend the night there and then drive back to Charlotte the next morning to catch a flight back to the Eastern. Fly back to his family for, for Christmas. Just judge people by their fruits, folks.

And you can you can see the way that they they handle business and you can see that you won't always see the stuff going on behind the scenes. Part of what we do here at this program is that we're not beholden to anybody. And you know, he didn't tell me not to share that story and he didn't tell Steve not to tell that story.

I know he wouldn't go and brag about it and tell you, but I think that is a pretty good indication left somebody's character when they step up in the same way that we had somebody step up and and sit in your hotel room. And, you know, certainly put me at ease knowing that there was someone there looking over you that I could trust to keep an eye on you. And, and he did a risk assessment and we decided that you're OK. I'm really glad you're out of the hospital right now.

This case is crap. This story that the government is peddling is garbage. And I think that this is where I'm going to end it and I'll end it on this. And, and thank you for spending all the time with me that you did, because this is the most that you and I have talked. It's probably the longest you've you've spent talking on on like this in a couple of days, buddy. Yeah, this is actually. You're going to go and take some some, some downtime, I hope. But this is what I think is really wild.

I'm moving more and more into the camp that I I suspect that the FBI may be doing this on purpose, not setting somebody up on purpose. They do that all the time. That's just kind of the MO. But my, there's a real possibility that they are deliberately presenting this weak case because of how it's going to reflect on the guys that run the FBI. And I, I don't have any evidence of this other than just kind of my gut feeling. But I was talking it out with a retired FBI agent last night.

And it's really hard to imagine them being this incompetent and having this much garbage being posted unless they are really trying to go out there and show that the guys running this who who hang their hat on this particular case, they want to because you're not going to know the names of the case agents that were in that interview. They're not going to be national stories. The even the a Dick, the assistant director in charge of the Washington field office will

not have a national story. His career won't be ruined over this. He'll go get another job. Somebody else. Nobody will know. They won't know to look for it, but Patel and Bongino will be sullied by this if it explodes in their face. Yeah. And who and who is bringing this about? Who is making this bad of a case? That's, I mean, that's the. Question Purpose. We don't know the answer, but I but I'm just telling you like I'm moving.

This is a, a growing possibility, which is a really, really, really dark thing to think that they would both sacrifice the freedom of some poor citizen, that they would deliberately spike this case to cover up for government or otherwise. And that it looks this bad because it, because if this blows up and I, and I think that there's almost, I don't, I don't know how they get away with it, especially with what you and I have seen privately, which folks, it will be public at some point.

Keep your eye on the blaze. Keep your eye on Steve Baker's place over there, which is it's theblaze.com/truth TRUTH. I, I don't, I think you could get a acquittal with what we know right now in front of ADC jury. I I will forget. Like a black jury, I'm talking about like white liberals in Washington, DC are not going to convict this. Guy, no, there's there's no, there's no way ADC jury convicts this guy right now.

Just with what we know. Just with what we know, and there's obviously going to be more, more and worse to this, I think the more that we learn. Yeah, absolutely so. I'm going to leave it at that. Steve, thanks for thanks for sitting through this with me and walking through this, this nonsense. I hope that was somewhat therapeutic. And I know it's kind of a

reintroduction of the wild here. Man, no thanks for thanks for having me. And let me let me close out by saying thank you to the thousands of people that put the prayers out there. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, buddy, it's been a rough couple weeks. It didn't get any better, especially that it was at the holidays. You guys, Steve has been light on social. You can tell he's emotional and I'm, I feel the same thing. I told him yesterday I was like, I don't care about the blaze.

I don't even care about the story. I just care that he's all right. And so that's a big deal for all of us and for all of you that have been praying it it works and you're here with us today. So I God bless you man, for what you're doing and for sitting here and, and thinking that this was a good idea, even though you probably were advised against it by all your healthcare people. You too.

You too, my friend. Well, the you know, the the, the worst, the worst place to get rest is in the hospital. You know that's true. Yeah, I'm glad you're back home. It's the one thing you need the most is rest and and of course they first thing 4:00 every morning, they kick the door up and there's a guy sticking needles in your arm drawing

blood. And then at 5:30, they're doing your vitals and making you get out of bed and stand on a scale and you know, and then it just only gets worse as the day proceeds forward. So I, I did get, I did get some really good sleep my first night home, which was Saturday night. But then this story came out, this this filing came out and it felt like I was back in the hospital again. I believe that we did have a good moment about the the thermometers, which we'll save that for you today.

I look forward to following up on this soon. That's, that's it for the day, folks. Pray for Steve, keep it going. He's got a lot of recovery in front of him.

interesting day. Remember, that's when the hearing's supposed to be.

Merry Christmas to all of you on this fifth day of Christmas, all the way through Epiphany will be saying Merry Christmas because that's how we do it here.

And year 2026, I'm going to tell you it's going to be the year of the bacon cheeseburger nationalist. This is Kyle Seraphin's brainchild. This is the this is the thing that I think America is at The people in the middle on the left and the people in the middle on the right. We can all agree on a bacon cheeseburger. And if you're someone that doesn't like or won't consume that, no matter what your reason, I think, I think you might be the minority.

I think the majority of America is a bacon cheeseburger nationalist. We care about this country. And we care about being able to do regular stuff, like we grew up at a diner. So look forward to that. Maybe we'll even merch it just because every time I've told somebody, like just a regular dude on the street, you tell them about bacon cheeseburger nationalism and they're like, Yep, yeah, that's that's that's my party. It's neither of those two parties.

Maybe we'll get one for Brian Cole. Hopefully he's out soon. God bless all of you. Thanks for being here. No, pal. Cleanse today. We're going to just shut it down. We've gone extra long. And I look forward to seeing you guys for the rest of this week. Thanks for listening to the Kyle Seraphin show, streamed live weekdays on rumble.com/kyle Seraphin.
