What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hello, I'm Ed Baba. It's cold here in New York, so I'm wearing my Lemon Nation.
I got to cop one of those. I got a lot of coverage I have to, I got to occupy there, so.
That's a lot of head to cover, right?
Yeah, for sure.
They do come in extra large, so, you know, it's good. Big brain.
You said I got a big head. I mean, I'll take it, but, you know.
What on earth is going on in the world? Well, as we are taping this, they're talking about a suspect that they have picked up in this January 6th device, pipe bomb thing. incident that happened on January 6th near the Capitol. It's weird timing, but in five years in the making,
Yeah, it looks like Kash Patel finally had the competence to get this done. I trust this administration fully.
What I hear, though, is that this may be good, actually, for... I heard some reporters say it may be good for Dan Bongino because he's been saying that they needed to reopen this case or look at the evidence again in this case. So... Look, if they caught someone good, then that's great. I tend to think about a lot of their stuff is distraction to me, and I'm wondering if they're distracting from Venezuela. But in this, you remember one of the suspects, not the suspects, but people were saying, that looks like Marjorie Taylor Greene.
yeah yeah yeah which would be hilarious given the the retire like what if all of a sudden we realized that was that's what connected all the dots i'm just asking questions we don't know for sure uh who the suspect is but um yeah i mean that would be pretty hilarious if that ended up being the result but i mean it's probably just some random person that was uh radicalized by trump himself uh as usual just another another right wing nut job most likely but we'll see
Yeah. Look, I say whether it's right wing, left wing or just, you know, middle wing or whatever. It's someone who is who is susceptible to all of this language that encourages political violence. And Donald Trump has certainly been, you know, my word that I've been saying is the imprimatur of that. He's been the one who normalized it and actually profiled it.
Exactly. Yeah. So, I mean, that's what we're seeing across the board. I mean, even with this, this, uh, you know, suspect with the national guard, like it's just, these are individuals who are being radicalized. Like it's a bigger problem. Like you're saying, I'm glad you brought it beyond just like left or right. It's this, this, this, um, normalization of violence, this online extremism, this radicalization pipeline, people go down and then they take action. And then, and again, it's these individuals. We don't need to punish the entire groups of people, right?
What new suspect development emerged in the January 6 pipe bomb investigation?
Like if this pipe bomber ends up being, uh, uh, You know, a white person, I'm sure Trump's not going to say we should deport all white people and they should be gone like he's doing to the Somalis or the Afghans. Right. So point is, like, it's these individual cases that need to be taken seriously. So I'm interested to see who it is, to be honest. But you're right. I do think it's just one of those things where the timing is weird because right now. kind of a lot of other major scandals going on, like one of the biggest scandals of his administration happening right now with the Hegseth stuff, right?
Yeah, I was gonna say, can we talk about Pete Hegseth and let's not talk about where people were like, well, there needs to be an investigation. Okay, yes, there needs to be an investigation, but Pete Hegseth is incompetent. He shouldn't have been there in the first place, especially with his history. And it's not an open secret. It's not even a secret. People just knew and they know that he's incompetent. The only reason that he's there is because he is flawed. He is tainted. Also, Donald Trump thinks that he would be good for recruitment. But Pete Hexeth doesn't know what the hell he's doing. And it's showing right now the excuses that he's making for this strike on this Venezuelan boat. They don't make sense.
Oh, it's really important. But I didn't stay for the second part.
