Case Details The suspect, identified as Brian Cole Jr., is accused of planting pipe bombs near the Republican National Committee (RNC) and Democratic National Committee (DNC) buildings in Washington, D.C., on January 5, 2021. Cole faces federal charges for transporting explosive devices and attempting to destroy property using explosives. Authorities say the bombs were viable and could have caused serious harm. Investigation Timeline The case reportedly stalled for nearly five years, with no new tips or evidence leading to the arrest. A new team under FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino allegedly revived the investigation by re-examining old evidence, crediting “good old-fashioned police work” rather than new leads. The arrest is portrayed as a success under President Trump’s leadership, emphasizing law-and-order themes and contrasting with claims of Democratic failures. Media and Public Reaction CNN misidentified the suspect’s race and criticized speculation that the bomber was linked to pro-Trump groups, framing these as examples of political bias in media coverage. Ongoing Questions Motive remains unclear; officials have not disclosed whether the suspect acted alone or had political affiliations. We raise questions about why the case languished for years and whether partisan considerations played a role Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Whistleblower Allegations Over 400 employees from the Minnesota Department of Health and Human Services claim they warned Governor Walz about the fraud early but faced retaliation instead of cooperation. Allegations include monitoring, threats, and discrediting of fraud reports. Nature of the Fraud Fraud reportedly involved members of the Somali diaspora misappropriating millions from Medicaid autism programs. Funds allegedly sent overseas to terrorist organizations like Al-Shabaab. Nearly 100 autism clinics investigated for fraudulent billing. Political Dimension Walz ignored the issue for political gain, citing the Somali community’s voting power. Democrats were prioritizing votes over accountability. Media Criticism Mainstream media downplayed the scandal. NBC’s interview with Walz was “softball” at best, allowing him to deflect blame and attack Donald Trump. Governor’s Response Walz acknowledges responsibility for prosecuting offenders but rejects demonizing an entire community. Minnesota’s prosperity and social programs were blaming federal cuts for oversight challenges. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Recent attacks & immigration/vetting Ben and Senator Cruz link a shooting of National Guard soldiers in Washington, D.C. to failures in vetting Afghan nationals admitted under “Operation Allies Welcome,” asserting a broader pattern of violence from inadequately vetted immigrants. They cite a TikTok bomb-threat arrest in Texas and connect these incidents to Biden administration policies.  Border security and terrorism risk They argue that an “open” southern border has allowed individuals on terror watch lists to enter the U.S., warning of sleeper cells and describing human trafficking and violent crime as predictable outcomes of lax enforcement. Critique of Democratic officials & protests The conversation criticizes Rep. Rashida Tlaib for not condemning “Death to America” chants reportedly heard at a Dearborn, Michigan rally, framing this as emblematic of ideological refusal to confront radical Islamic terrorism. AI: geopolitical race & domestic skepticism The senator argues the U.S. must “win” the AI race against China to ensure global AI reflects American values. They note polling shows public anxiety about AI (job loss, distrust), and discuss local resistance to data center construction, energy needs, and the prospect of white‑collar job displacement. Auto policy: CAFE standards and EV mandates Ben and the Senator praise actions attributed to “the President” (portrayed as Donald Trump) to rescind tailpipe emissions standards, zero out CAFE standards via a “one big beautiful bill,” and roll back EV mandates—arguing these moves lower car prices, improve safety (heavier/steel cars vs. “plastic”), and boost U.S. auto jobs. They reference planned Senate Commerce Committee hearings with major automakers and Tesla. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Allegations of a Coup and Military Intervention Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) has suggested the uniformed military might need to “help save” the country from President Donald Trump. Warner’s comments are a call for a coup, emphasizing concerns about undermining the chain of command and threatening military personnel with future war crimes investigations. Controversial U.S. military strikes against boats used by drug cartels for narcotics trafficking, which reportedly killed civilians, including a Colombian fisherman. Defense Department and Leadership Criticism Criticism of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for ordering strikes on suspected narco-trafficking boats. Questions raised about legality, lack of transparency, and missing unedited video evidence of the strikes. Concerns about erosion of trust between military leadership and the administration. Fuel Economy Standards Rollback President Trump’s announcement to roll back federal fuel economy standards for cars and light trucks. The rollback reduces the target from 50.4 mpg (under Biden) to 34.5 mpg by 2031, with slower annual increases. Ends credit trading among automakers and certain incentives for fuel-saving features. Rationale: Lower car prices (estimated $1,000 savings per vehicle), preserve gasoline-powered cars, and reduce regulatory burdens on automakers. Criticism from environmental advocates who argue this will worsen emissions and slow EV adoption. Economic and Affordability Agenda Trump frames the rollback as part of a broader affordability push, including lowering gas prices and grocery costs. Mentions potential $2,000 “Trump tariff checks” to offset inflationary pressures. Highlights investments by automakers (Ford, Stellantis, GM) in U.S. manufacturing, attributed to tariffs and deregulation. Immigration Crackdown Suspension of legal migration pathways for nationals from 19 countries (including Afghanistan, Iran, Somalia, Venezuela) pending security reviews Policy aims to address national security concerns after attacks on U.S. personnel. Contrasts Trump’s approach with Biden’s policies, which allegedly facilitated mass entry of unvetted migrants. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Cabinet Meeting Transparency We begin by highlighting a cabinet meeting led by President Donald Trump, portraying it as an example of transparency and decisive leadership. Narco-Terrorism and Drug Crisis Drug cartels are responsible for killing Americans at a rate of nearly 300 per day through fentanyl and other substances.

Military Strikes on Drug Boats Recent strikes on narco boats, including a controversial second strike on survivors. Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth defend these actions as necessary to save lives and prevent drug trafficking. Defense Against Criticism Democrats are opposing these strikes as Republicans accuse them of hypocrisy, citing past drone strikes under the Biden administration. Democrats may attempt to prosecute military personnel and officials for “war crimes,” framing this as psychological warfare against U.S. service members.
