What details are known about the suspects in the Brown University shooting?
The gunmen were inspired by Islamic State ideology after police say they found a pair of homemade Islamic State flags in a car belonging to one of the suspects. Authorities have identified them as a father and son. The 50-year-old father was fatally shot at the scene. The 24-year-old son suffered critical injuries and is currently in the hospital. Additionally, Australian police say they are investigating a recent trip. Authorities say the two suspects took to the Philippines to receive, quote, military style training. Bring us up to date. Have you heard from the Department of Defense and this investigation now that has been launched?
And Senator also, what do you think about your latest ally, Pete Hegseth?
Well, yeah, I mean, where's that guy been? I mean, Pete Hegseth of 2016 makes a ton of sense. And now he's proven to be the most unqualified secretary of defense we've ever had. I still have not been notified by the Department of Defense or the United States Navy. It has been I've actually heard nothing. We do some to see some stuff on social media from time to time. So, Senator, have you been asked to, say, turn over documents, just trying to get to the bottom of whether this is an actual investigation or is it like a social media campaign? It's probably the latter, at least for now. And this is escalation, right? They say something about a command investigation without even explaining what that is.
And by the way, I found out about that from the new press corps at the Pentagon, which consists of Matt Gaetz and the Pizzagate conspiracy guy that now work over there. So that's how we hear about this stuff. So, you know, from my perspective, it doesn't seem very serious. So we do have to take this seriously. And, you know, I've got attorneys and we're going to mount a strong defense. This is all about escalation and intimidation. But In this case, they got the wrong guy. I'm not going to back off. I'm not going to stop doing my job because Donald Trump said I should be hanged and executed. And Hegseth says, you know, there's going to be an investigation under the Uniform Code of Military Justice for, by the way, saying what is in the UCMJ.
During the raid on John Bolton's house, he was tweeting about the search as it was going on, which directly puts the involved agent's lives in danger if people flock to the scene and decide to take issue. With respect to the plot that was unmasked in Michigan, I think around Halloween, it was reported recently in the Wall Street Journal that his tweeting about that arrest before other nationwide efforts were complete, caused other suspects in other regions of the country involved with the case to speed up their plans to leave the United States. So at the most basic level, he is throwing a wrench in the works of the investigative process with every tweet or pronouncement he makes without actually knowing the facts.
Now, this has other consequences, too. It is incredibly cruel, as we just saw, to the community of Providence and particularly the students at Brown who thought for a moment that they were safe, that the problem was contained and that they did not need to worry anymore. And we've got to note there are students there for whom this is their second mass shooting.
What implications does the investigation have on national security?
That's probably another topic. But lastly, I'd point out that if he's telling people that they have the subject. Then other law enforcement agencies, which are not directly involved in this particular manhunt, but are in the surrounding areas, who would probably have their feelers attuned to what was going on and be on the lookout for anything suspicious in neighboring areas, might have let their guard down thinking that there was no longer a problem. And that might have caused us to lose a tip, to not check certain surveillance footage, to not review license plate readers. It could have caused any number of things that should have happened not to.
Providence, Rhode Island is small. their police forces who is running this. Cash has come out and said that the FBI out of Boston is coming in to assist, but technically, you know, they don't have jurisdiction over it unless it's confirmed that it's domestic terrorists or that the suspect crossed state lines.
