Nobody could have seen it coming after a couple of days of
blanket accusations that the FBI isn't just investigating Donald Trump.
They are definitely planting evidence fabricating stuff,
they might assassinate Trump.
And they're definitely gonna be coming for you and your families and your guns and
whatever.
A guy has apparently threatened the FBI headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Local news stations said the man made threats there and
then promptly drove away, the Ohio State Patrol then pursued him.
They announced a lockdown around the area.
And apparently as of at least recently that guy was involved in a standoff
with police and multiple shots had been fired.
Now I want you to be very careful about any of these facts because they
are changing rapidly.
So he is said to have had an AR-15 style weapon.
But they also said that as he was going to leave the FBI building and he was being
pursued, he apparently fired a nail gun at some of the agents who were following him.
So I don't know what if any of that will turn out to be true.
If he is involved in a standoff, I don't know if for sure that shots have been
fired and if they were whether they came from the rifle which might or
might not exist or the nail gun which he for some reason apparently has.
But as of right now that's what we know,
a guy decided this week to go to the FBI headquarters make threats and
is now engaged in some sort of shootout according to initial reports.
Adrian, I know you've been looking for
the latest news on this cuz we're doing this live.
What have you been seeing?
>> Okay, so in terms of the FBI, I actually I haven't necessarily
seen anything specific as about this incident.
Although I do believe this is a direct product of Trump and
GOP waging this verbal attack on the FBI because they raided Mar-a-Lago.
But the news just broke that actually Trump was subpoenaed for
those documents this spring.
And so essentially he ignored the subpoena much like Bannon,
which is why the FBI went in.
So Trump had plenty of notice that they wanted those documents.
He's no victim here at all.
He had noticed that they wanted the documents and they sent him a subpoena and
he ignored it.
>> So you're implying that yesterday on the five when Jeanine Pirro was
slur screaming her way through, no, he complied.
He was cooperating that she might have not had the facts on her side there,
is that where you're implying?
>> That that's my interpretation at this moment.
Without a doubt it seems that a lot of those GOPeers out there who were claiming
that Trump is a victim and attacked by the system and this is so egregious.
He had noticed that this was gonna go down.
So he's in that same camp with Bannon.
It's cute.
>> Yeah, look I think that he gambled and I think it was a pretty reasonable gamble.
The idea that that they would like haul him away if he didn't comply seemed
hard to imagine.
So I get why he went with what he went with.
The issue for us going forward though is that that fact that you just revealed is
utterly irrelevant to the right-wing.
They will not care at all because he shouldn't comply with any of that because
he's an innocent good person.
In fact a victim and get off his back.
Also he's the strongest person ever and he doesn't need anyone to defend him.
But anyway they are defending him with narratives if not facts.
And the narrative is that the FBI is a tool of the deep state.
The deep state that apparently is utterly powerless because the QAnons tell me that
Trump has actually been president for the past couple of years.
So the whole thing gets a little bit muddled but but
we do know that the FBI is out of control and lawless.
And its lawless not because of all of the terrible
things it's done throughout its history,
its lawless starting a few days ago when they decided to raid Donald Trump's house.
And they have been demonizing the FBI in a false way colopting
legitimate progressive critiques of law enforcement and
what do you know a crazy person has gone out there.
I don't remember exactly what I said if it was yesterday or
two days ago but I talked about the fact that the people who are listening
to these Fox News defenses of Trump.
Some of them are crazy, some of the crazies have guns and so
I said I don't know when that will manifest if it'll be a day or a week,
but it turned out to be a day.
You know, maybe we'll find out that this guy was just a regular conservative who
wanted to kill FBI agents not related to Trump.
They've wanted to do that for a very long time but it certainly seems suspicious.
It seems coincidental Adrian.
>> Absolutely.
You know the fact is that I think generally people don't go after the FBI.
It would seem like they have numbers and all sorts of backup.
So it really is not logical for people to all of a sudden have some kind of angst or
aggression directed specifically at the FBI willing to take it out on them.
So for this individual to be what in I believe a cornfield shooting and
firing at the FBI.
I think it's possibly because they feel they've received some directive from
members of the GOP particularly those who are supporting Trump.
>> Yeah and look to be fair Jesse Watters lowering room are never gonna come out and
say the time has come to shoot FBI agents.
But they have spent literally years terrifying these people to believe that
some government agent is gonna come knocking on their door to take their
guns because of something Trump did or whatever.
Or because there are IRS agents now that's targeting you rather than
the rich who get away with tax fraud and economic effective murder.
I don't know I'm looking for updates right now in real time.
It seems like they have contained the guy but they still have a lockdown.
That's the news I've gotten out of the Cincinnati area and
that the Cincinnati Zoo has narrowed the potential names for
a new baby hippo from 90,000 to 2.
It's either gonna be Fritz or Ferguson.
So get your votes in while you can.
In any event, we're gonna keep watching for this.
It doesn't seem as if anyone has been injured let alone killed at this point.
But situation could develop rapidly so bear that in mind.
