Apparently, it was a dude taken into custody in Virginia. Again, these are breaking elements, breaking news.
By the time you hear this in podcast form, if you're listening later on, not during our live broadcast at 10 a.m. Eastern time each day. There may be more details available to us from the United States Department of Justice. But a suspect now in custody, the FBI going this morning, a short while ago, into the Commonwealth of Virginia and taking this man into custody.
We will bring you the details on this as we get our show started and take a look back at the events that transpired leading up to this. But one more thing to you. And one more thing to emphasize before we kick off the rest of the program today. I mentioned today is December 4th, and it's probably worth mentioning. You know, today is Dan Bongino's birthday. That's a hell of a birthday gift.
The guy who spent all of his time outside of the FBI saying, hey, we need to catch the pipe bomber, then goes into the FBI, spends all of his time trying to catch the pipe bomber. And sure enough, on his birthday, well, it looks like he caught the pipe bomber. We'll find out more, but happy birthday, Dan. Some good news to start the day coming up.
Hey, have you ever had a moment where you're thinking to yourself, hey, if something happens, how fast can I get to my firearm?

Chapter 2: Who was arrested in connection with the January 6th pipe bomb incident?
This is why I'm obsessed with Stopbox. No keys, no batteries, just instant access when it matters most. If you own a handgun, you know the struggle. Locked away and safe, but out of reach or unsecured and risky. Stopbox USA solves this problem with the Stopbox Pro. It's mechanical.
It's a keyless locking system that gives you fast, reliable access without fumbling for keys or worrying about dead batteries. It's 100% mechanical, so it works every single time. And with Christmas coming up, look, this is the ultimate gift for anybody who takes safety seriously. So whether it's for your nightstand or a loved one, Stopbox Pro delivers peace of mind.

I mean, what a hell of a way to spend a birthday. The guy is like spending all of his time constantly getting chewed out by everybody in the media. They hate everything they're doing at the FBI. Dan Bongino goes into the FBI, and then on December 4th, the guy's birthday, how old is he? That guy's like, what, 40, 30 something? He's a young man.
The point is, it's his birthday today, and now they catch the pipe bomber? Did they set this up intentionally? Oh, I'm waiting for that conspiracy theory. Remember when everybody was accusing Donald Trump of throwing himself a parade on his birthday earlier this year? He threw himself a parade.
Now he's celebrating the United States Army, which happened to be born on the same day as the president of the United States. Dan Bongino arranged to arrest the pipe bomber on his birthday. Yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure he wanted to take the world of shit that they've been receiving all year long. He wanted to wait for his birthday for the big announcement. Come on. It's like so crazy.
Anyway, the dude gets arrested on Dan's birthday. Here's what we have. Again, these are the early developments today. A lot could change. as the day moves along and certainly by the time you hear this program perhaps you'll know more details here but this is the early reporting this morning as first heard on the Fox News channel take a look at this
this is a big deal bill and dana it happened january 5th 2021 a mysterious person covered from head to toe placed pipe bombs outside both the democratic national committee and republican national committee here in our nation's capital we don't know the suspect's name or anything about this person other than the fact this is a male that was living in northern virginia arrested at some point within the last 90 minutes now in federal custody i'm told we'll know more as the day moves on and as soon as we have the information of course
We will break in with that. But just this past October, a couple of months ago, the FBI put out this enhanced video and pictures of the masked suspect planting pipe bombs near a bench outside the DNC in Washington on January 5th, 2021, the night before the attack on the US Capitol. The suspect then placed the same type of bomb outside the RNC minutes later. The suspect, as I said,

Chapter 3: What details are emerging about the arrest of the pipe bomber?
It could just be a dude with a feminine walk. It's like a Seinfeld character or something. But yeah, no, they say it's a dude. They took a dude into custody today. They say he's the pipe bomber. And what I'm hearing is they think they've got their man. This is not like a distant call or this is it. This is the guy. We'll see.
Big announcements coming today from the United States Department of Justice. This is the breaking news. This is, of course, as you might expect, not what I expected that we'd be talking about first thing this morning. But I talk about it with you with elation that we've got something very interesting going on. Pipe bomber taken into custody.
Again, it was just a month over when they did their last big push for information. And here we are, an arrest in Virginia heading into Christmas. Kind of. Kind of amazing. And so where are we at? We're in 2025 or the end of 2025, nearly into January 26. In other words, we're almost to five years since this happened. There was no actual progress of any kind made by the Biden administration.
none a suspicious lack of curiosity in getting to the bottom of this case it took a new fbi director an fbi deputy director who clearly was obsessed with this issue uh and an immense push to finally bring this thing to at least the step that we see today a big arrest uh and a lot of reports flying all over the place right now as soon as we get real details we'll bring more to you including on tomorrow's program i i'm certain we're going to be
able to talk about that. So anyway, that's how about that? Ladies and gentlemen, some good news to start the day. We like this. We like good news. I'll take good news. And this goes back to kind of the point that I've been making all year. There really is something always happening.
You know, whether or not we see it all in public at any given moment, the reality is we voted for Donald Trump in order to make progress on all of these fronts, whether it's securing the border, improving the economy, stopping the drug deaths or establishing accountability.
like actually holding people accountable for what they've done wrong to our country, arresting and prosecuting the people who've hurt us at high positions of power, the people like James Comey and Letitia James, LaMonica McIver, Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell, whoever the person is. We're seeing more and more updates on that as time goes on.
And then, of course, taking somebody into custody as related to the January 6th pipe bomb case, that's legit. Oh, one other thing that I am hearing this morning, I do hear that Congress, that the January 6th committee, as it's currently constituted, run by Barry Loudermilk, those guys have been receiving updates on all of this as well.
So they're apprised on the fact that this guy has now been taken into custody, and they are feeling very solid about this too. That's a really big piece of this. We'll keep an eye on it. The president of the United States has kicked up another round of venom that's being directed at him and at you for voting for him.

Chapter 4: How does the Biden administration's approach affect the investigation?
I mean, I saw it up close and personal for many, many years. There's no surprise. This is why Congress has a single-digit approval rating, because especially on the Republican side, where you do have the ability to take the high ground in this, the arguments are in our favor. The action against narco terrorists is long overdue.
We talked about and gave lip service to a war on drugs without ever engaging in the war. Now we're finally attempting to get rid of this plague that the country has been under.
And now we're learning from folks that have been insiders in different countries who are coming out and revealing that it was a targeted plan to weaken the United States, to attack its citizens, to compromise its borders, and to effectively pull down the power of the United States.
Okay, let me move from our foreign threats to the domestic concerns we have. You were a former US attorney, so I'm really intrigued in your thoughts about how important it is for President Trump to have actually Senate confirmed in place U.S. attorneys.
He's in an immense struggle right now because he has prosecutors that are there in a variety of capacities and a variety of statuses who are trying to bring prosecutions and they're meeting a firewall of left wing judges and people who are looking to disqualify them. We just saw the Comey prosecution, for instance, at least temporarily,
thrown out not on the merits it was thrown out on procedural grounds it was they were going after Lindsay Halligan and whether or not she was even eligible to bring the prosecution can you talk about how important it is to get these U.S.
attorneys through what are you observing right now yeah Vince great question not a lot of people realize this is the Achilles heel of this administration right now. And what I mean by that is, look, history is important. It used to be that US attorneys were very apolitical. You had very few fights on the Senate floor. You had no problems confirming them. Bill Clinton came in.
He was the first president to actually remove all 94 United States attorneys when he came into office. Then after that, it became sort of commonplace with every president. The difference here, though, is The prior presidents worked very feverishly, you know, very hard at getting their U.S. attorneys in place immediately. This administration has got to step up their game.
And this Congress and the Senate has got to step up their game. It is dangerous where we're at. And why it's dangerous is because what you have are bureaucrats. And remember, 90 percent of those that donated to political campaigns in the Department of Justice donated to the Democrats.

Chapter 5: What recent fraud discoveries have been made in Minnesota?
No, it's required because you have to have jurisdiction over the case. So Jeanine Pirro in Washington, D.C. would not have jurisdiction over the case, for example, over Comey. That's why it was brought in the Eastern District of Virginia.
Got it. All right. That makes sense to me. Here's the other thing in terms of addressing this. The Senate, which you're very familiar with, the reason this is a problem is because Adam Schiff has a veto over the president's U.S. attorney pick in California.
That basically that each of these Democrat senators in their respective states like Virginia, which has two Democrats as the senators, the Democrats get to just veto whoever the president picks to be the U.S. attorney because of something called the blue slip process in the Senate.
Yeah. And Vince, that blue slip is completely made up. It's not in statute. It's not a rule. It's not a law. This is all just tradition. It's history and tradition of the U.S. Senate. Now, I'm all for tradition, but one side has already illustrated they're not willing to follow it. They'll do what they want when they need to do it.
Chapter 6: How is the media reacting to the arrest of the January 6th pipe bomber?
So the Republicans need to step up and understand. Guess what? You applied you you applied the nuclear option on higher, more elevated appointments. You're going to have to do it now. It was a product of, you know, I think many of us saw this coming. You were going to have to do it. You are going to have to apply it to appointments and they're going to have to do it here.
I mean, screw the blue slips. Stop with this. You know, these days of old in which history and tradition, you know, and the higher ideals are operating in the Senate. It's not the case anymore. You're not going to bring it back and you better fight fire with fire.
And so and as I understand it, it's not a law. It's also not even really a codified rule in the Senate either, is it? It's just a gentleman's agreement between senators. That's right. So who is it up to? Is it up to Chuck Grassley as the head of the Judiciary Committee to blow past this?
No, this would be this would be the majority leader. The majority leader would have to. Yeah, I mean, it would take both. I mean, Grassley would have to push out, you know, take a party vote in committee and get the individual out of committee, put it to the floor, and then John Thune would have to take it and ram it down the Democrats throat.
So Grassley and Thune have to do this is the answer to that. Yeah, they do.
I mean, and that's one of the problems, right? These are old bulls that want to conduct themselves in a manner in which they would hope that the other side would conduct themselves. Those days are gone, Vince. Those days are gone.
But they don't even enter. So, like, you and I are talking about this. They refuse to. They only talk about this process under duress. Like, you would have to, like, be in the, like, walking through the Senate hallways and run into John Thune and ask him about the blue slip. They do not want to talk about this. They don't want to talk about getting rid of the filibuster.
Partly that's because they've got people like Susan Collins and Tom Tillis and Lisa Murkowski refuse to get rid of it. But regardless, there's obstinance in the United States Senate to doing their damn jobs. And I... I like Chuck Grassley. I think he's done a lot of good for the country. I'm perfectly happy with that.
But this is insanity to me, Brett Tolman, that we have to beg them from the outside to do the most obvious possible things. Like as you point out, the Democrats are shitting all over tradition. They don't care about it. And Republicans are rolling around like, well, if we get rid of this, it'll somehow be used against us in the future. It's being used against you now, you idiots.
