Guests - Corinne Cliford, Betsy Smith, JL Wittenbraker, Dave Smith Independent journalist and White House Press Corps member Corinne Clifford joined Kathleen Winn to discuss her exclusive doorstep interview with Delicia Cole, the mother of Brian Cole Jr.—the 30-year-old Virginia man recently arrested for planting pipe bombs outside the RNC and DNC headquarters on January 5, 2021. Spokeswoman for the National Police Association Betsy Smith joined Winn for the recurring “Smith & Wynn” segment, praising the Trump FBI’s rapid arrest of Brian Cole Jr. after years of Biden-era inaction. Smith noted the bombs were discovered on January 6, diverting law-enforcement resources from the Capitol at a critical moment, and reiterated that Cole has reportedly confessed and was accumulating bomb-making materials since 2019. Local activist J.L. Wittenbraker warned listeners about two March 2026 special-election ballot measures designed to extend and expand the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA). Veteran law-enforcement officer Dave Smith joined Winn to dissect the Taco Giro raid fallout. Two protesters now face federal charges—one for assaulting an agent, another for damaging a Homeland Security vehicle—while body-cam footage contradicts Rep. Adelita Grijalva’s claim of being directly pepper-sprayed.
