0:03 Caalaroga Shark Media. Good morning, I'm Reed Carter. Friday, December fifth, twenty twenty five, Breaking overnight, the FBI has arrested a Virginia man in connection with the January sixth pipe bombings, nearly five years the bombs planted outside the Democratic and Republican National Committee headquarters the night before the Capitol riot case that launched one thousand conspiracy theories, finally has a suspect in custody. He's reportedly linked to anarchist ideologies. But here's the embarrassing part for the FBI. Sources say investigators could have made this arrest years ago if they just pieced together evidence they already had. Michael Jordan's antitrust war against NASCAR continued yesterday, day three of testimony. Scott Prime, NASCAR executive vice president, back on the stand getting hammered by Attorneyjeffrey Kessler. Emails exposed showing NASCAR executives threatening teams sign our charter deal or lose your charters. Only a monopolist could say this, Kessler argued.

Day three of the Brian Walsh murder trial, prosecutors showed the jury a bloody hacksaw, blood stained bathrobes, blood soaked slippers with what appeared to be clumps of hair on the bottom, all recovered from dumpsters near Walsh's mother's apartment. Insurance broker

1:37 testified Anna Walsh had over a million dollars in life insurance policies with Brian as the sole beneficiary. Defense claims she died suddenly in bed after New Year's celebrations. Prosecution says Brian dismembered her body and threw it in the trash, and Luigi Mangoni's case was dark yesterday. Next update Monday, when proceedings resume. Rea Carter Today, a pipe bomber finally caught NASCAR's monopoly exposed, and the bloody evidence piling up against Brian Walsh. This is Celebrity Trials. January fifth, twenty twenty one, night before the Capitol Riot. A figure in a gray hooded sweatshirt walks through Washington, d c. Face mask, glasses, black and light gray Nike Airmax Speed turf shoes with a yellow logo, carrying a backpack seven fifty four pm, the figure places a pipe bomb outside the Democratic National Committee headquarters. Twenty two minutes later, eight sixteen pm, another bomb outside the Republican National Committee, both buildings just blocks from the Capitol. The next day, America watched in horror as Trump supporters stormed the Capitol, but amid the chaos, those bombs were discovered. Twelve forty five pm, Capitol police found the RNC device. Thirty minutes later another call similar device at the d NC. Then Vice President elect Kamala

3:07 Harris came within twenty feet of that bomb. The discovery diverted police away from the violence unfolding at the Capitol. Both devices were viable, capable of killing anyone nearby if they detonated, Constructed from threaded galvanized pipes, kitchen timers, and homemade black powder. Fifteen hours sat there waiting to explode. They didn't, but they could have, and then nothing. The suspect vanished. For nearly five years, the FBI hunted for the pipe bomber, one of the largest investigations in bureau history. Tens of thousands of video files, reviewed, hundreds of tips, cell phone tower data scoured, They examined sales records, for those Nike air Max sneakers, fewer than twenty five thousand pairs sold around that time. They offered a five hundred thousand dollars reward, conducted over a thousand interviews. Nothing The case launched conspiracy theories. Some Trump allies, including now Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino, speculated it was an inside job.

4:10 Bongino said on his podcast before joining the FBI, I believe the FBI knows the identity of this pipe bomber and just doesn't want to tell us because it was an inside job. Yesterday, they finally made an arrest. FBI arrested a Virginia man. Sources tell multiple outlets he's been linked to support for anarchist ideologies, charged with placing explosives outside both the DNC and RNC headquarters. But here's where it gets embarrassing for the Bureau. The arrest wasn't the result of some breakthrough, no new evidence, no dramatic tip from the public. Sources say investigators simply reviewed existing evidence they'd collected back in twenty twenty one and twenty twenty two, evidence they already had for years. Law enforcement sources told reporters this arrest may cause embarrassment for the FBI because the suspect could have been caught years ago if investigators had pieced together what was already in front of them, smart enough to plan coordinated bombings at both political parties headquarters, too stupid to realize the FBI would eventually connect the dots, except apparently the FBI was also too stupid to connect those dots for nearly five years. The White House will likely tout this as a victory. The Trump administration poured new resources into the case earlier this year. Deputy Director Bongino made solving it a personal priority. Last month, he posted on social media that the bureau had increased investigative resources, flown in police officers and detectives to review previous work, conducted internal reviews, and now they have an arrest. Anarchist ideology,

5:46 not an inside job, not a false flag, just a guy and a gray hoodie who planted bombs outside both parties headquarters and got away with it for one thousand, four hundred and thirty days. The timing of those bombs still, investigators placed the night before January sixth discovered hours into the riot. The DNC bomb drew police away from the Capitol at a critical moment. Was that intentional coordination with rioters or just coincidence. We may find out more as the case proceeds. For now, what we know, Virginia Man anarchist sympathies, allegedly placed both bombs in custody nearly five years.

6:26 The case that baffled America solved not by brilliant detective work, but by finally looking at evidence. They already had your tax dollars at work. Charlotte, North Carolina, Day three of testimony in Michael Jordan's antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR Quick Refresher. Jordan owns twenty three to eleven racing with driver Denny Hamlin. They're suing NASCAR alongside Front Row Motorsports owner Bob Jenkins, alleging NASCAR operates as an illegal monopoly, that the organization uses its market dominance to crush competition and force teams into unfavorable deals. At the heart of the lawsuit NASCAR's charter system. Think of charters like franchise licenses. Own one of the thirty six available, you get guaranteed entry into every Cup Series race and a floor of revenue. Without one, you're on the outside looking. In last year, NASCAR renegotiated the charter agreements. Thirteen of fifteen charter holding teams signed the new deal, twenty three to eleven, and front Row refused, said the terms were exploitative. Filed this lawsuit instead. Wednesday, Scott Prime was back on the stand. NASCAR executive vice president second day of testimony, and attorney Jeffrey Kessler, representing Jordan's team, used Prime's own emails and corporate communications to

7:57 paint a picture of monopolistic abuse. Prime originally worked for McKinsey, the consulting firm. Back in twenty fourteen, he prepared a report expressing concerns over the longevity of NASCAR if it didn't improve the financial health of its race teams. Recommended taxi like medallions, which became the charter system, but Kessler argued the charter system doesn't actually help teams, it traps them. During twenty twenty four charter negotiations, one email from Prime to other executives relayed four demands from race teams that Prime found quite disappointing. The team said they would be forced to recommit our energy to exploring all our options if NASCAR didn't agree translation. Teams were threatening to form a breakaway stock car series. Prime laid out various options for how NASCAR could respond. Reduce the number of charters and offer them first come, first served, to create panic, update charter language and offer a take it or leave it deadline, dissolve the charter system entirely, or take all the in house and eliminate the need for race teams altogether.

9:04 Then NASCAR President Steve Phelps responded to Prime's email, You accurately reflected our options. They are playing with fire. Lots of options, but all have the same theme. Pick a date and they can sign or lose their charters. It is that simple, Kessler pounced. Only a monopolist could say this. Only a monopolist has the power to say, take my offer, and if you don't take it, you will no longer be in this business, and someone else will take your place. On September sixth, twenty twenty four, NASCAR did exactly that, presented a take it or leave it offer to teams, an option Prime himself had described as a gun to your head. That's what Jim wanted, Kessler said, referring to NASCAR chairman and CEO Jim Frantz, I don't know what he wanted, Prime replied. Inside the courtroom, Denny Hamlin leaned forward and looked across the to gauge any reaction from the France family and their representatives. They sat expressionless. More damaging testimony emerged. Prime was portrayed as a moderate trying to strike a fair deal with teams, but NASCAR's board of directors, headed by Jim Frantz, kept pushing back. No bueno with Jim on charters, Prime wrote via text, after one meeting, can say Steve O'Donnell and I put our best foot forward, but it was a brick wall. I'm sorry to hear this. Phelps responded, super disappointing. Kesler also

10:36 targeted NASCAR's goodwill provision in charter agreements. This clause says any owner of a race team, even someone who owns only ten percent, cannot own or invest in a competing stock car series, even if they leave NASCAR or forfeit their charter. They can't join a competitor for more than a year. And you think that's goodwill, Kessler asked, I do Prime respond? It's not goodwill, it's anti competitive will. Kessler said, shouldn't that be the name? NASCAR's attorneys objected. The judge sustained it, but the evidence kept coming. Kessler cited Prime's strategy document calling for intellectual property protections for NASCAR's next gen car. Prime wrote that without IP protection, it increases risk to NASCAR of the creation of a copycat series. NASCAR's rulebook now says teams cannot use their next gen cars in any series except NASCAR standard IP practice, Prime argued. Under cross examination, Prime pushed back, said the team's demand of twenty million dollars per car in revenue payouts would put NASCAR bankrupt. Denied the communications showed ill intent.

11:51 Prime said what he meant by trying to lock up tracks was simply signing them for next season's schedule, not excluding them from competitors. Said permanent charters didn't make sense for anyone. You can't negotiate a deal and have the exact same deal forever. Prime said, you can't write a contract today that's going to last forever. Here's the pattern emerging from this trial. NASCAR holds all the cards. Teams have nowhere else to go. When teams push for better terms, NASCAR responds with threats. Sign or lose your charter, take our offer or get out. That's what monopolies do. They don't negotiate, they dictate. Michael Jordan didn't become a billionaire by accepting bad deals. He's challenging the fundamental structure of NASCAR's business model, arguing it violates federal antitrust law that NASCAR uses its dominant position to extract unfair terms from teams that have no alternative. Prime's testimony continues today. Bob Jenkins from front Row Motorsports expected to follow. Make it make sense. NASCAR tells teams to improve their financial health, then offers them deals that can keep them financially dependent, tells them to sign or lose everything. Calls it goodwill.

13:06 Jordan's attorneys call it what it is, monopoly. We'll be right back with Day three of the Brian Walsh murder trial. Bloody hacksaws, blood soaked bathrobes, and a million dollar life insurance policy with the accused killer as beneficiary. Welcome back to celebrity trials. I'm reed. Carter Dedham, Massachusetts Norfolk Superior Court, Day three testimony in State versus Brian Walsh. Quick reminder where we are Brian Walsh, fifty years old on trial for the first degree murder of his wife, Anna, thirty nine, Serbian immigrant mother of three, worked for a real estate company in Washington d C. Reported missing January fourth, twenty twenty three. Body never found. Walsh has already pleaded guilty to two charges, misleading police and improper disposal of a human body. Those guilty pleas came just before jury selection last month, but he's fighting the murder charge his defense.

14:17 Anna died suddenly in bed after New Year's Eve celebrations. Brian panicked, made terrible decisions, but didn't kill her. Prosecution says that's absurd. They say Brian murdered Anna on New Year's Day, spent several days dismembering her body, threw her remains in dumpsters around the region, and repeatedly lied to police, then tried to collect on her million dollar life insurance. Day three brought the physical evidence. Davis Gould, forensic scientist from the Massachusetts State Police Crime Lab, walked the jury through what investigators found, ten trash bags recovered from a dumpster outside Walsh's mother's apartment complex in Swampscott. The first bag contained clothing that matched the description Brian gave police when he reported on a missing Volkswagen keys. Then it got worse. Gould presented photo after photo, a black jacket covered in red brown stains, white towels soaked with what appeared to be blood, a white bathrobe with similar staining, gray slippers with smears, and what appeared to be clumps of hair stuck to the bottom. Then the tools, a hammer, wire snips, a hatchet with red brown stains, a hacksaw.

15:27 Google search history is forever Brian searched hacksaw the best tool for dismembering a body. Now the jury was looking at an actual hacksaw stained with what prosecutors allege is his wife's blood. On cross examination, defense attorney Larry Tipton questioned Gould about what the findings actually prove. There's no way for you to be able to tell a jury with regards to this specific case, how exactly some of this red brown stain or biological evidence actually came to be on any piece of VPS evidence. Gould agreed he couldn't verify how the items were stained, couldn't rule out the possibility they weren't stained when originally thrown out, but that's a hard argument to sell blood soaked bathrobe, hacksaw slippers with hair, all in dumpsters near Walsh's mother's house, all discovered days after Anna vanished. Then the insurance testimony.

16:25 Mark Selvaggi, a life insurance broker with New York Life, took the stand. He met Brian Walsh through an online lead suggesting he was looking for life insurance, but there was a problem. Brian had pending federal charges for selling fake Andy Warhol paintings, couldn't get coverage himself. Selvaggi's solution apply for a policy under Anna's name. Anna Walsh had two life insurance policies worth over one million dollars. Brian Walsh was the sole beneficiary. The policies also listed Anna as being an excellent health which undermines the defense theory that she suffered a sudden, unexpected death. Prosecution's theory crystallized.

17:06 Brian Walsh discovered his wife was having an affair, killed her on New Year's Day, dismembered her body, threw the remains in dumpsters, and planned to collect a million dollars in insurance money. The affair is central to both sides, Prosecutors say William Fastow, a d c reealtor, had a romantic relationship with Anna, that she'd told a friend she planned to leave Brian, that Brian discovered the affair and killed her in a rage. Defense says the marriage was fine. The text between Brian and Anna showed loving communication, that Anna called Brian her best friend and discussed their future together. Today, day four, William Fasto takes the stand. The other man, the realtor who was sleeping with Anna Walsh. He helped her by a townhouse in d c was apparently planning a future with her. The jury, we'll hear from the man Brian Walsh allegedly killed over That's what the defense has to overcome. Brian Walsh already pleaded guilty to disposing of his wife's body, already admitted he lied to police repeatedly.

18:08 His Internet search history includes best way to dispose of a body, how long before a body starts to smell? Is it possible to clean DNA off a knife? Best way to dispose of body parts after murder? And now the jury has seen the bloody hacksaw. The defense argument that Anna died suddenly and Brian just panicked requires believing that an innocent man's first instinct after finding his wife dead was to google how to dismember a body, buy cleaning supplies, hacker apart stuffer remains in trash bags, drive them to various dumpsters, lie to police repeatedly, and then try to collect the life insurance. Make it make sense. Anna Walsh was thirty nine years old, mother of three boys, ages two, four, and six when she disappeared. Serbian immigrant who built a successful career in real estate should be raising her sons, should be building her future. Instead, pieces of her may be scattered in landfills across Massachusetts. Her husband sitting in court clutching a rosary. Trial continues. We'll bring you updates as testimony unfolds. Rest in peace, Anna, Someone has to say your name. That's celebrity trials for Friday, December fifth, twenty twenty five. Breaking overnight, FBI arrested a Virginia anarchist in connection with the January sixth pipe bombings.

19:29 Nearly five years of investigation. Turns out they had the evidence all along. Michael Jordan's anti trust battle against NASCAR exposed damning emails executives threatening teams sign or lose your charters. Only a monopolist could say this. Brian Walsh murder trial Day three showed the jury bloody hack saws, blood soaked bathrobes, and million dollar life insurance policies. Anna's lover takes the stand today and Luigi Mangoni's case re zooms Monday. We'll be there, I'm read, Carter, have a weekend, lock your doors and maybe clear your browser history.
