Hey, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. As we reported yesterday, the Trump administration did in 10 months what the Biden administration couldn't or wouldn't do for four years. They arrested the suspected January 6th pipe bomber. 30-year-old Brian Cole Jr., a black man from Woodbridge in northern Virginia, is charged now with transporting an explosive device across state lines with intent to kill or harm and attempted malicious destruction using explosives. Cole faces up to 30 years in prison. He's due in court today, where we should learn even more about him. And while we still do not know specifics about his motive, we told you on AM Update this morning that Cole worked for a bail bonds company run by his father, working to free illegal immigrants from ICE facilities.

This is just interesting background on the guy. That's per The Daily Wire. That company unsuccessfully sued the Trump administration over its immigration policies and even hired Benjamin Trump, the attorney who represented Trayvon Martin's family to accuse a Tennessee prosecutor who was probing the company of racism for that probe. Here to react to this and so much more is Kash Patel, the ninth director of the FBI.

How did the FBI narrow down the suspect using technology?

Megyn Kelly 1:26
There's a lot of politicians that should be getting coal in their stocking for Christmas and May. But Birch Gold thinks as a smart planner, you deserve silver. That's why for every 5,000 bucks you purchase between now and December 22nd, Birch Gold will send you an ounce of silver, which is up over 60% this year. You see, smart people diversify and have a hedge. And that's why you should consider Birch Gold. With the rate cuts from the Fed in 2026, the dollar could be worth less. And what happens if the AI bubble bursts? Consider letting Birch Gold Group help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax-sheltered IRA in physical gold. And for every five grand you buy, you'll get an ounce of silver for you or your kids.

Just text MK to 989898 to claim your eligibility for the offer. Again, that's MK to the number 989898 because Birch Gold's free silver with qualifying purchase promotion ends on December 22nd. Let me start with the news breaking right now from NBC reporting that the suspect is cooperating with the FBI. Is that true?
Kash Patel 2:26
So, Megan, yes, it's a great coalition that brought us to this point where we arrested the pipe bomber that terrorized our nation five years ago. And in terms of what's ongoing, it's a little difficult to talk about because the suspect is now in the court proceedings.

What are the alleged motives of the January 6 pipe bomber?

Kash Patel 2:42
But as you would suspect or expect from the FBI, we do engage with all suspects that are arrested to see if they're willing to speak to us. And those matters are ongoing.
Megyn Kelly 2:52
Dan Bongino told Hannity last night that you guys have interviewed him at length. Is that something you can provide any color on?
Kash Patel 3:00
We have. We've sat down with them and talked to them. For us, though, we can't divulge the substance of those conversations because the prosecutors and the Department of Justice are going to be the ones that adjudicate that information as to whether or not they need to use it in a court of law and present it for purposes of indictment and grand jury and further execution of search warrants. So this is very much an ongoing investigation we're going to be continuing to conduct. multiple search warrants. We're going to continue to put multiple witnesses in grand juries because we want to make sure we've captured the totality of this individual's conduct.
Megyn Kelly 3:33
Okay. But he is talking.
Kash Patel 3:35
He's speaking to us.
Megyn Kelly 3:37
Wow. Has he lawyered up?

Why did the previous FBI leadership struggle with the investigation?

Kash Patel 3:39
I can't get into that because it infringes on some of these constitutional rights. And we at the FBI are going to uphold even this individual's constitutional rights due process.
Megyn Kelly 3:50
Let me ask you this question. Have you seen Benjamin Crump at all?
Kash Patel 3:56
I have not seen him, but maybe we will later.
Megyn Kelly 4:02
You might, yeah, given the family's history from what we're gathering now, reporting over at The Daily Wire that he represented the dad.
