they always do. the wide experience of our agencies coupled with the individual expertise, the members of the nypd bomb squad, highly trained emergency service unit, intel bureau, counter terrorism bureau, our patrol cops, the first to respond to cnn, all helped lead to today's arrest. i couldn't be more proud of each did in this case and the work they do every day. we said from the outset we would identify an arrest the person or people responsible for these acts. we can make that promise because the confidence we have in our ability to investigate, deliver it in a precise manner. the arrest means new yorkers and the people across our nation are safe. as director wray said, there might be more packages out there. everybody needs to take precaution. if you see something, call 911 and in new york city we have a number. 888-nycc. i want to thank the members of the public that contacted the authorities with information this investigation.

new yorkers don't back down. they step up every single time. we've been through things like this before and much worse. i've never surprised by the unmatched resiliency our city always displays. thank you also to the media for broadcasting the photos the nypd repleased. it helped workers identify additional packages and help move forward with this investigation. thank you. >> good afternoon. i'm jeff berman, united states attorney for the southern district of new york. five days ago on october 22, law enforcement recovered the first device from a resident of george soros. over the last five days, as more packages were found across the country, delivered to former presidents, federal officials and public figures, our law enforcement community, federal, state and local has worked day and night together with other prosecutors from my office to identify and apprehend the

perpetrator that has now happened. today my office has filed a complaint against cesar sayoc charging him with multiple federal crimes. specifically, the defendant is charged in five counts that include illegally mailing and interstate transportation of explosives and threatening a former president of the united states. as alleged in the complaint, the defendant mailed destructive devices to citizens that hold or have held our highest public offices. president barack obama, former secretary of state hillary clinton, former vice president joe biden, former attorney general eric holder, congress person maxine waters, u.s. senator cory booker, former cia director john brennan and former director of national intelligence, james clapper. the defendant's conduct as charged is cowardly and reprehensible and totally against our democracy.

and now the defendant faces a potential total of 58 years in prison. this is an ongoing and active investigation. we will not rest until these crimes are fully investigated and the defendant or defendants are brought to justice. i want to take a moment to thank our partners, the joint terrorism task force, the fbi, the nypd, u.s. postal inspection service, new york state police, the atf, the hard working prosecutors of the southern district of new york and i would like to thank the extraordinary cooperation we received from the southern district of florida. thank you. >> good afternoon. i'm barry barksdale, deputy chief of the u.s. postal inspection service. first of all, i'd like to thank all of our federal partners, the

fbi, atf, secret service, new york police department and the many state and local law enforcement agencies that provided valuable assistance. i can say this is the way law enforcement is supposed to work. this was a massive investigation, a collaborative effort and was well-coordinated with each agency bringing a special expertise to the table. what i would also like to recognize, the many postal employees that we think of as our eyes and ears. we appreciate the diligence and awareness. in fact, it was a postal employee this morning that alerted us to one of these suspicious parcels. we in the postal inspection service have a great deal of expertise and responding to investigating suspicious mail. postal inspectors are trained to respond and investigate dangerous mail items in the mail. these dangerous mail investigation specialists are highly proficient in the use of state of the art equipment. fortunately in this case, none of the devices detonated and no injuries.

however, postal inspectors will remain diligent and monitor postal facilities to determine if there's additional mailings that have not yet been discovered. we will continue to work with law enforcement to ensure the safety of the mail, our postal employees, our customs and the american public. >> good afternoon. text allis, secret service director. just as the other speakers have emphasized, i want to comment on the importance of cooperation here. we were in the forefront of this with receiving early packages tuesday and wednesday. fully engaged the joint terrorism task force, other federal partners. i want to acknowledge the great work done by the fbi, the atf, the postal service and inspectors, new york city police, capitol police and other states, florida, california, delaware, maryland, the district of columbia. i also want to spend just a few minutes to emphasize how

seriously the secret service takes these threats, how important it is to provide protection to our protectees including former presidents and the current president and vice president and thank our agents and officers and analysts that not only investigate cyber and financial crimes but world class protection to our protectees. they've done outstanding work here. i was just also remarking that since tuesday, along with director wray, this has been our number 1 focus of the agency, is to find the perpetrator of these incidents and bring him to justice. thank you. >> mr. wray, when did you or folks isolate the fingerprints? >> so each of the devices was being brought through what are called total containment vehicles to our lab. they were coming in serial. we received some of them. the first two were the devices that were sent to former

president obama and the d.c. package that was sent to congresswoman waters. so the analysis began on that i think yesterday. we were starting to receive information over the course of the last 24-36 hours. >> question for director wray and attorney general sessions. can you describe your reaction when you got a latent fingerprint that would lead to a suspect? could you give us a reason why the devices didn't explode? >> the second part? >> why the devices didn't explode. >> the first part, my reaction to hearing that we had a possible match, just validated my unbelievable faith and confidence in the men and women of law enforcement, in particular the fbi lab. there's a reason why the fbi lab is known as one of the very best in the world and the folks that work there are extraordinary. once i knew that they had a

print, i was confident that we would find the right person. as far as the devices themselves, it's important to say as is in the complaint, that even if the devices -- we're still trying to determine whether or not they were functional, as they say. so we're doing all kind of analysis to make a definitive determination. they did contain energetic material, which if subjected to the right combination of heat or shock or friction could be dangerous to the public and the public should treat any device like that accordingly. >> attorney general sessions, can you tell us plainly why was he targeting democrats? >> i don't know. other than what you might normally expect. he may have been a -- appears to be -- that would be determines by the facts as the case goes forward. i'm not able to comment on that. >> is he cooperating?

>> we're not going to be discussing where the investigation stands at this time. >> i'm curious what role you think the rhetoric in the political arena might have played in this. is that giving you more work? >> we're focused not on the talk but on the work. the work of the men and women of law enforcement here and the work that was done over the last week is something that should make every american proud and grateful. it's too early at this stage to be discussing motivations in this particular case. >> just a follow up. are you concerned that political rhetoric might motivate someone to acted out? >> we're concerned about people committing acts of violence under any motivation. >> director, do you believe that he's the only one involved in this campaign? and you continue to make reference to other devices that might be out there.

do you have any sense of how many that are still in the street? >> so as i said at the outset and i think the attorney general said as well, this is an active and ongoing investigation. we do believe that we've caught the right guy. but we also know this is an ongoing investigation and there's a lot of work still to be done, which means there's plenty of unanswered questions. >> when did you first brief president trump on having the suspect in custody? if you can say what was his reaction? >> i'm not going to get in our discussions with the president. i received a nice congradlatury call by the president. i think commissioner o'neil said it well, the partnerships exist

in the law enforcement profession in this country are extraordinary, better than they have been and it's what the doctor ordered for this country at this time. >> thank you. >> shepard: christopher wray wrapping up the news conference. suspect locked. investigation beginning. this is "shepard smith reporting." investigators use a fingerprint to nab the man targeting democrats. the suspect was in a white van, plastered in anti-democrat stickers. the suspect left his fingerprints on one device and dna on two of them. they say they're confident they have the right man. in custody is this man, 56-year-old cesar sayoc.

he lived in aventura, florida and has a prior arrest record including one for making a bomb threat in 2002. reports are he worked as a bar bouncer and dancer and had recently been living in that van. shortly after we got word of his arrest, law enforcement officials in south florida surrounded this van in the town of plantation, about 30 miles north of miami. you can see the vehicle has stickers covering the windows including images of american flags, logos of the rnc, pictures of president trump and one sticker that reads "cnn sucks." "the new york times" reports one sticker has hillary clinton's face in the cross hairs of a rifle scope. the associated press reports a quitter acontinue that belongs to the suspect including a tax against george soros who was targeted in this crime spree. all of this after the fbi said they're investigating four more explosive devices today bringing the total thus far to 14.

the latest targets, two in california, the democratic senator pamela harris and tom steyer that calls nor the democrat's impeachment. they found a device headed to cory booker at a mail sorting distribution center in opa-locka, florida and investigators say a postal worker in new york city spotted a suspicious package addressed to the former director of national intelligence, james clapper at cnn. here's a look at all 14 targets. the obamas, the clintons, george soros, the donor to the democrats, john brennan with cnn's office in new york city listed as the address. the actor robert de niro, two pick -- packages meant for joe biden, two more for maxine waters, one for eric holder. it ended up at the office of the

dnc chair woman, congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz who is listed on all the packages as the returned a dress. none of the devices have exploded and nobody has been injured. all of the targets are high profile democrats and/or frequent critics of the president and many are frequent rhetorical targets of the president himself. mr. trump said during the event at the white house this afternoon, these despicable acts have no place in our country. team fox coverage throughout this hour, first to catherine herridge who is live at the justice department. catherine? >> okay.. among the highlights from the news conference, we know the suspect cesar sayoc is facing five criminal charges. they all relate to sending explosive, in this case, pipe bombs, through the mail. one of the charges includes an assault on current and former

government officials, senior government officials. we also know more information about what really was the tip or the break that helped them accelerate the case and identify the suspect cesar sayoc. that was a latent fingerprint that was identified and lifted from an envelope with the package, one of two packages sent to congresswoman maxine waters. based on what we heard from the fbi director, that was the package intercepted in maryland. that fingerprint was matched against a database that they had already taken prints from cesar sayoc because of his criminal history, so they had a positive hit, a positive match. then the director said there were two other dna fragments that they extracted from other packages and that also lined up with the suspect. so the two outstanding issues for me is whether they were satisfied he acted alone, what we heard at the news conference is that that element of the investigation is ongoing. they continue to ask the public

for any tips or assistance or flagging suspicious activity. at this point, they would not speak to this issue of motive. but the attorney general, jeff sessions said that what happened here was absolutely antithetical to the process in this country, where you have the ability to voice your dissent or objection. to do that in a peaceful way, not a violent way as is alleged here against cesar sayoc, shep. >> shepard: catherine herridge live for us. more on what we learned about the suspect. rick leventhal is here. rick? >> he has a long criminal history, cesar sayoc. a lot of it is not a big deal. minor traffic offenses. petty theft and also grand auto. other theft charges. and that bomb threat that catherine mentioned. but i talked to an attorney that represented cesar sayoc in a shoplifting case. he said he worked with this guy for several years, attorney

arenson in south florida. he painted a different picture of the suspect. he said sayoc was one of the nicest guys i represented. he said he treated me with respect and never showed any violent tendency and considered him a gentleman and that he never talked politics not ones. the lawyer said he's shocked and hoping that it's not correct, this was before we had this news conference that confirms sayoc is the suspected bomber and the attorney told me that if sayoc called him for representation, he would represent him immediately. he has a lot of financial issues, shep. he's declared bankruptcy once, he had a lien against his house. he was apparently living out of the van. the address on aventura that we reported on is his mother's place. he was living with his mom part time. >> shepard: what do we know about the rhetoric that he's sent out on social media and beyond? >> if you look at his twitter feed, there's a lot of stuff on there. >> shepard: what kind of stuff?

>> he was tweeting at tmz with a lot of stuff. defending the republicans, attacking democrats. there were pro donald trump, pro conservative stuff. >> shepard: so his twitter is like the stickers on the side of his van. >> yeah, it played in together. there's a lot of stuff on the van that i guess represents an ideology that he posted on facebook and twitter. the other interesting things that the feds said, there were misspellings on his social media post that match some of the misspellings -- >> shepard: that's why we kept bringing those misspellings up. because wondering if they would be able to tie those two things together. interesting. >> traceable, i guess and easily compared the two are. but you know, suffice it to say that he tweeted and posted a lot of stuff. he was passionate about that some might find a bit odd. >> shepard: more than that, you have one picture on the side with hillary clinton in the cross hairs and the cnn sucks sticker on there. if you've seen that van in the

last couple days, you might have made a phone call. >> he was hiding in plain sight. the other thing that he did apparently is post on twitter about george soros and barack obama after the soros bomb was found. >> shepard: really? i didn't know there was anything since the bombings themselves. >> since october 24th. >> shepard: i don't know if we know yet, but often they'll show up, you know, in the dark hours to grab a suspect, catch him by surprise. sometimes they put a flash bang in the room. sometimes they wait until the suspect was offside. you wonder if they were concerned where he was listing. there's these reports that he's been living part time in his van. >> for all we know, he built -- if he's a bomber, he may have built the devices in the van. we don't know that i'm told by law enforcement, they were watching him for 24 hours. they figured out who he was, he has a criminal record and had to track down his van and figure

out whether it was safe to get him. >> shepard: not even five days. >> a blink of an eye. >> shepard: impressive. much more against the investigation. we'll speak to a lawyer that the charges could face. we're told he's faces up to 58 years in prison on the charges he's been leveled. later, weather do to south florida where officials are focusing their investigation. first, we'll speak to a former fbi special agent to make sure that the suspect is not working with anybody else. suspect locked up. investigation just beginning. the news rolls on on a friday afternoon.

headed to charlotte, north carolina in about an hour's time. the president back on the campaign trail eager to get back to changing the subject back to the mid-term elections. in the east room, giving props to law enforcement and in a tweet as well. the president saying "i want to applaud the fbi, secret service, department of justice, the u.s. attorney's office for the southern direct of new york, the nypd and all law enforcements for their work, skill and determination." the event in the east room was to celebrate young black leadership where the president denounced the attacks of political violence. listen here. >> these terrorizing acts are despicable and have no place in our country. we will prosecute them, him, her, whoever it may be, to the fullest extent of the law. we must never allow political violence to take root in

america. cannot let it happen. i'm committed to doing everything in my power as. to stop it. to stop it now. >> but in an unusual tweet earlier today, the president also lamenting that the suspicious packages have taken the mid-term election out of the news and somewhat blunted republican momentum. he thought the republican party was beginning to gain on the democrat it's in a lot of races. the president tweeting, republicans are doing so well in early voting and at the polls and now this "bomb stuff happens" and the momentum slows. news, not talking politics. very unfortunate what's going on. republicans vote. the same young black leadership summit, the president mentioning the chance to lower prescription drugs did not get the attention it deserved. listen here. >> we had a big announcement yesterday. we're reducing drug prices

tremendously. tremendously. it didn't get the kind of coverage it should have. it was a big thing. you know, they also were competing with this story that took place that now our law enforcement has done a good job. maybe that can disappear rapidly. we don't like those stories. >> maybe they can start to disappear rapidly as the investigation continues. as you pointed out, shep with rick leventhal, this person that is arrested by the fbi appears to be a rather ardent supporter of president trump. the white house and supporters are trying to put distance between the suspect and the president saying president trump was no more responsible for the mailings than bernie sanders was for the shooting of steve scalise. i'm sure the president will have something to say about the suspect tonight but he's eager to get back to politics. now back to you. >> shepard: john roberts on the north lawn. have a great weekend. let's turn to chris wallace, host of "fox news sunday." chris, you just can't ignore the politics of this, even if you

wanted to. these are people the president has gone after rhetorically. these are people this guy targeted. he's a big supporter. it goes to the tone and tenor of the police call discourse and the words that the president uses in his rallies and all the rest. >> yes, but. but the but is, i don't think you can draw any particular link or any responsibility on the part of the president for this action. i mean, as sarah sanders said and just repeated by john roberts, bernie sanders supporter shot up the congressman at the baseball practice. is bernie sanders say he was responsible? >> shepard: nobody is saying his responsible. the rhetorical discourse has devolved over time and the president says we need to unify. some of that begins with the rhetoric, does it not? >> it would be good but it's separate and apart from the actions of this guy. this is a twisted person.

there's 300 million americans and they may be part of the debate but they don't put -- >> shepard: but when you have -- >> let me finish. >> shepard: when you talk like this, the concern is that that one crazy one might then get empowered. we don't know what happened in this case. but overall -- >> we do know what happened. >> shepard: we don't know any of it. >> what difference does it make, shep? >> shepard: seems like the rhetoric is unhelpful -- >> to hold the president responsible -- >> shepard: i didn't hold him responsible -- >> the implication -- >> shepard: let's be fair, chris. the rhetoric -- >> shep, let's be fair. >> shepard: the rhetoric from the podium that cnn sucks chants, the lock her up chants, all the rest, it doesn't -- >> i agree but its will doesn't -- >> shepard: i don't know what we're fighting about -- >> the explosive -- >> shepard: to ignore the elephant in the room is just, you know, a fool's folly.

>> i think that it's really incorrect to hold the president either by implication or directly responsible in any way for the misdeeds of a person that is a psychopath -- >> shepard: nobody did that, chris. don't say i did. all i said is when the rhetoric gets loud, the crazies come out sometimes. >> and i'm drawing a cause and effect that is -- >> shepard: i said we have -- >> the cause and effect is there, shep. it doesn't exist. >> shepard: you can say it doesn't exist. we'll see what exists here. all i'm saying from the largest microphones from the highest plateaus, what we're getting is divisive television stations suck and lock her up and the rest. it's new and it seems unhealthful and both sides have said that separate and apart from what happened here. the billboard there, the rolling billboard, you know, it's not nothing. it's a rolling billboard of a

lot -- >> i would point out that bernie sanders had different view and a man shot up the republican and i don't think you hold bernie sanders spot. he had rhetoric -- i'm not comparing his to the presidents, but i don't hold him responsible any more than i hold -- >> shepard: and i don't hold anybody responsible but the guy -- when the bernie sanders stuff was true, people said it true. >> and it was wrong then. >> shepard: and it's more wrong -- >> let me just say, it's a separate issue about the political rhetoric in this country and it's unfortunate and i think it's a very bad thing. but i think it's very dangerous to draw links between that and -- links of any sort between that and criminal activity. >> shepard: history will decide what the rhetoric has done in this society. >> i'll wait for history. >> shepard: i'll wait for it, too. hope you have a good weekend, chris. >> i do. we'll be talking about this on sunday.

we'll have homeland security officials and the impact on the mid-terms and talking to the chairman of the two house campaign committees, the republican chairs steve stivers. >> shepard: great to see you, chris. we'll be right back. billions of mouths. billions of problems. morning breath? garlic breath? stinky breath? there's a therabreath for you. therabreath fresh breath oral rinse instantly fights all types of bad breath and works for 24 hours. so you can... breathe easy. there's therabreath at walmart.

>> shepard: continuing coverage of fox's top story. the man hunt for the package bomb suspect is over and has ended in south florida. take a look at where this arrest went down. the auto zone by several locations where packages were picked up. this is where aventura. that is debby wasserman schultz's office. plantation is where the arrest happened, this is south florida, the i-95 corridor. opa-locka is where the mail sorting facility is. that is where the mail that goes to duval county, miami-dade county. that goes into that facility

there in opa-locka. in sunrise, another of debby wasserman-schultz's office. her main office. one of them listed as the returned a dress on the packages, the one in sunrise. about 15 miles south is the auto zone, the mail facility in opa-locka. investigators say they found a package addressed to cory booker overnight. phil keating is live outside miami's fbi head quarters in miramar where investigators brought the suspect. hi, phil. >> and that van also remains back there behind the gates in a secure garage. now being processed and believed to be just chocked full of evidence. we believe the suspect remains inside as well being thoroughly interrogated by fbi agents as well as attorneys and prosecutors with the u.s. attorney's office. the van loaded on a flatbed truck in the auto zone parking lot where federal agents took their opportunity to quickly jump out and arrest cesar sayoc

while he was there to buy something. auto zone said they handed over the surveillance camera footage to the fbi. after a slow drive to the fbi facility, the federal convoy pulls in through the gates with fbi or atf agents standing on the front and the back of the truck to keep the blue tarp. all of it broadcast live on national television. we learned the 56-year-old was working at a papa johns in hollywood, florida. employees would not comment on him. they said they couldn't. had to talk to corporate. we talked to employees of neighboring stores. they said they saw the van parked in the strip mall parking lot plenty and they found it very disturbing. shep? >> shepard: phil, you were at the mail sorting facility in opa-locka, right? >> yeah, federal government investigators had a very strong suspicion if not wednesday definitely by thursday that several of these package bombs

went through that south florida u.s. post office sorting facility. that's where all the mail comes in and out for all of south florida. last night they evacuated all the workers, brought in their bomb-sniffing dogs with the fbi and miami-dade police and said it was a preliminary, tentative precautionary investigation, just to walk through everywhere and make sure there were no package bombs. they did find package number 11 addressed to cory booker that had not yet been sent from florida to his office or his residential address. after all this this morning, south florida's congresswoman debbie wasserman-schultz spoke about all of it. >> obviously being a representative of this community and being a person who is of this community raising my children in this community, it's gut wrenching. >> her name and her office address in sunrise, florida down the road was the returned a

dress. obviously a bogus returned a dress on all of the bombs, most of them. that's why she received one of them on wednesday morning, which caused a scare in her office. we believe that was the one intended for eric holder, former a.g., which was sent back, returned to sender, because of the wrong address and went through the same sorting facility before her office. >> shepard: phil keating live in south florida. thanks. thomas baker now served as a special agent for 30 years and as a management instructor at the fbi academy in quantico, virginia. good to see you. >> good to be with you. >> shepard: the speed with which the investigators worked is impressive. >> yes. the fbi did what they do best. they investigated. >> shepard: it sounds like to hear it from the fbi a fingerprint initially and then a couple of dna samples. >> yes. what hasn't been commented on enough is the improvements we've

had in this and the whole country has benefitted from the forensics in the last decade. the anybody seizure division is a focus for this and hasn't been mentioned yet. they maintain this tremendous repository of prints and the latent prints collected. the technology now exists where they can search that single latent print that they found on that bomb fragment against the millions of latents and come up with an answer in minutes. that technology didn't exist five years ago and that's why so many earlier bombing cases took to solve. not this one. >> shepard: interesting. at the same time, they have vast improvements in the ability to track packages and where they have been. that led them to the opa-locka, the south florida package distribution center mighty fast. >> yes. that's a good point, too. because one of the partners in this that hasn't gotten enough praise is the u.s. postal

inspection service. they're a very specialized, small but specialized federal law enforcement agency and they also played a big role in this partnership. >> shepard: the investigative part of this is just beginning what is next? >> well, now on the one hand, you had the early collection of all of the forensic information. now it's going to switch to historical investigation, looking back at this begin beginning yesterday and going back years. all of his contacts, all of his friends, all of his associates, all of his organizations to find out to leave no stone unturned. one of the things they're going to be looking for if possibly there was anybody else involved that helped him, assisted him or encouraged him. >> shepard: i bet we'll know soon enough. thanks, thomas. >> thank you. >> shepard: what police are saying about a package found here in new york city today and

. >> shepard: a postal worker found another suspicious package in new york city today. police say it happened at a post office in midtown this morning. it was addressed to james clapper at cnn's office a few blocks away. the nypd bomb squad brought it to a secure storage facility. it appeared to have a pipe bomb very similar to the others. this comes after they removed suspicious packages from the cnn builder and robert de niro's office this week. jack jackie heinrich is live with

more. >> five bombs were here in new york. the latest package addressed to james clapper and the second addressed to cnn. wednesday, another package was addressed to cnn and john brennan. at 8:15 a.m., a postal worker noticed the package looked a lot like others that were seen this week and called police. the bomb squad revealeded a pipe bomb. because the post office doesn't have the apparatus to look at every package, 600,000 postal workers have been manually scanning for threats. the action was swift. >> once we were notified about the device, we put a frozen zone in place and evacuated a couple residents as well as the educational facility across the street and the post office. >> the package was taken in a total containment vessel to rod man's neck where it's held for

the fbi and quantico for analysis. shep? >> shepard: police say there was a false alarm this morning central park. >> that false alarm was a package that was leaning against a tree. out of an abundance of caution, the bomb squad went and cleared it. last night, the time wanter center was evacuated for a pair of packages left in the shopping mall. after wednesday, police spared no expense in making sure there was not a repeat incident, especially after the investigators said they're not sure how many packages could be out there. >> the new yorkers and the people across the nation are safe. as director wray said, there might be more packages out there. everybody needs to take precaution. >> the atmosphere here in new york is keyed up after all not knowing how much packages could be out there governor

cuomo deployed the national guard and the suspect will be pro cuted in new york. >> shepard: thanks, jacqui. a scl you could fix it with a pen. how about using that pen to sign up for new insurance instead? for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise their rates because of their first accident. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ i didmost can tellearch the continent or country that your ancestors are from, but ancestrydna showed me the specific places they called home. connecting 20 million members to a deeper family story. order your kit at ancestry.com. hi.i just wanted to tell you thdependability award for its midsize car-the chevy malibu. i forgot. chevy also won a j.d. power dependability award for its light-duty truck the chevy silverado. oh, and since the chevy equinox and traverse also won chevy is the only brand to earn the j.d. power dependability award

gavin newsom has lived the rich made him powerful. but he's done nothing to help us. every day i work harder. rent, food, and gas prices climb.

poverty, homelessness-- gavin admits it. we created-- it happened on our watch. what you see out there on the streets and sidewalk happened on our watch. now he says he'll have courage, for a change, but gavin's had his chance for eight years, and he never lifted a finger. it's time for someone new. john cox, governor. >> shepard: on the west coast, two more suspicious packages in california today.

law enforcement tells fox news a package addressed to kamala harris was found in sacramento. another to the billionaire tom steyer, a billionaire that has called for trump's impeachment. >> the police department rushing to the lower part of the city and senator kamala harris was the target of a suspicious package found there. we're told it was similar to the other that have been discovered this week and a trained postal employee first identify the package and reported it. now we've been seeing the all too familiar seen of workers evacuated as postal service and fbi deal with the device. kamala harris is a frequent

critic of president trump like the other intended targets of the devices found this week. she's been crisscrossing the country supporting democrats in tight mid-term elections and potentially preparing the ground for a presidential run, shep. >> shepard: what else do you know about the package addressed to tom steyer? >> this was discovered in burlinggame, south of michelle franzen. the device has been removed from the post office facility to a safe off site location. the target as you said in this case was the billionaire political activist tom steyer who has been running a campaign to have president trump impeached. in a statement, his office said he was the target and steyer himself said in part, we're thankful that every one we work with at next gen america is

safe. it's worth pointing out, it's logical that if all of these packages were made in florida, that california-bound devices are being discovered a little later than the east coast ones. and that fact alone, shep, mean a lot of politicians and every postal worker will likely remain on high alert on the west coast over the weekend. shep? >> shepard: jonathan hunt live in the west coast news hub. stewart kaplan, former fbi agent that practices in south florida and live with us. the charges against this man, stewart, include five federal counts, interstate transport of explosives, mailing of explosives, threats against a former president, making threatening interstate communications and assault of current or former officials. adds up to 56 years. that could just be the beginning of it. >> that is correct, shepard. so you have to understand, right now the fbi has him back at the

headquarters located in the miami division. he's been read his protected rights as we know it as the miranda warnings. if he so chooses to waive his right to remain silent and he's interrogated and he's to provide additional information that may implicate himself or others, there could be additional charges that would be added on. tomorrow when he's brought before the magistrate, he will be brought on a complaint later on. that complaint will be converted to what is known as an indictment after the evidence is presented to a grand jury. so the charges as they stand now may be a lot less ironically than what ultimately he may be facing. >> shepard: and this will move to the southern district of new york in lower manhattan. >> that is correct. because the southern district has origin of jurisdiction with

respect to the original package. and what you're seeing is law enforcement working very seamlessly together. there's not going to be any jurisdictional fight when it comes to these type of cases. generally speaking, the national security cases, the terrorism cases are handled in the southern district of new york. >> shepard: we just got word from the department of justice, their spoke person said that during the news conference, they misspoke and actually the maximum that he faces is 48 years. but that is at the moment. really will depend on where the investigation goes. do you have a sense for how many people are on this? seems like they put the whole country on it. >> yeah, let me just say, we're talking about the joint terrorism task force, which is made up of local state and federal partners. you're talking about 1,000, even in excess of 1,000 law enforcement officials. not only working here in the united states, but also abroad to ensure that nothing was

missed. now that we have an individual that has been apprehended, the priority now is to make a determination if he's willing to talk to us to see if there's any remaining devices that are out there so we can retrieve them and neutralize them and then, of course, the priority turns to was he working in concert with others. if they're satisfied there's no other co conspirators, you'll see a systematic stand down of the amount of agents and law enforcement partners working around the clock. >> shepard: thank you for all of that. i appreciate it. so a great day in that they have a suspect. the initial indication is that this is the only suspect. the investigation continues and we'll have updates. take a look at the dow in the final seconds of trading today. we have about 30 seconds left. it's been off at 400 points at one point. now down 1.3%.
