Hi, everyone. Its 4 00 in new york.

When theres a joint statement from Chuck Schumer and nancy pelosi, thats not a joint statement. How long do you think youll have to wait for that . A long time. We have had obviously a very busy day. Nonstop breaking news. Its 11 00 a. M. Out west. 2 00 on the east. Were continuing to follow all of these new developments including the 13th device found in california. The Department Of Justice will hold a Press Conference where we hope to learn more details about this suspect. The man under arrest is from florida just to recap here. Hes identified as 56yearold Cesar Sayoc Junior. Dna did play a role in his arrest. Fbi seized this white van covered in pictures of President Trump and images of the president ial seal. Here is President Trump a short time ago from a previously scheduled white house event. I am pleased to inform you that Law Enforcement has apprehended the suspect and taken him into custody. These terrorizing acts are despicable and have no place in our country. Ive instruct
two people out of millions, that does make a big change. but if they scare us into believing they were about to be killed, that s the change they are looking to inflict. that s why it s not as relevant, even to our enemy, whether or not these things are hoax or not. also you stand a lot was like that of getting caught buying explosives online if you wear something that looks like it as opposed to buying it. depending on if they are being looked at, looked into, they felt like they could even get away with doing a real device, what we are seeing now is they are leaning toward hoax devices because it s a lot harder to find and a lot harder to prevent. julie: you know what this guy did? he failed. not only did he not scare bystanders, they jumped and they were the one they apprehended. they are trying to scare londoners, they ve got another think coming. that didn t happen today and it will not have in the future. people are not taking this lying down. staff sergeant joey jones, we appr
your life if you are complacent. there s a lot being said even in this country would need to be things like guns, that we should not have to live in fear. i agree with that. but in the world s information and technology, with the cell phones, there s really no such thing as a lone wolf attack anymore. there are inspired attacks. they really aren t copycat attacks, there are inspired attacks. people are inspired because of their own dire situation or twisted beliefs, but other things that happened. our biggest line of defense is simply to be aware and to be vigilant and to take action when we have the opportunity. at least you understand what the right action is. there is something you can divulge from all of this. it s interesting the suspect was wearing what was a hoax device. the same thing happened back in 2017. they were wearing hoax devices. even the untrained eye, you see hoax device and assume it s an expose the device.
bombs that were mailed, thankfully, none of them went off. the fbi director said they were not hoax devices. the president has attacked the media, has not said anything about cnn, even though we were mailed two of the devices. he hasn t called president obama, he hasn t called former secretary of state or president clinton. he hasn t called any of the people who received these devices. what s going on? well, listen, i can t tell you what s going on because i m not inside the president s brain. i m certainly no longer inside the white house. i think what is going on is that there s a war declaration and so when he reads a statement like the one that came from jeff zucker, he gets upset. he ll fire off a statement. jeff s statement, i thought, was fine. i mean, it wasn t derogatory or anything like that.
