sayoc was a disturbed, demented man.e became active in politics in 2016 in the run up to donald trump's election and so when we look at the rhetoric that's been pervasive with this white house over the last nearly two years, it's quite clear that he was moved by many of the comments about the media being radical, the media being evil. democrats are out there to hurt america so and so forth. it's difficult for them to get at that core root of why he became radicalized and so what they're going to do is talk to his family, look at his associates and you've seen on cnn and other channels, looking at his social media that he's clearly motivated by the hateful rhetoric we're seeing far right of the republican party and that the president of the united states that is likely to push him over the dop. >> we heard him say specifically about the devices that thaw were potentially lethal. thankfully none of those devices exploded. but what do you make of the message this suspect was trueing to send with these devices? >> this is an

the key is to connect all of that with sayoc.o do. >> harris: cesar sayoc. i'm interesting if the criminal investigates ers are interviewing him. what's that like? >> they certainly know more than he think they know. we know the suspect has been under ebbixtensive surveillance. they are answering him questions to where they know the answers to see if he's fabricating. one of the key things is to determine whether there are others out there. we don't think there was a network here, but we want to rule that out. that's probably key for the investigators. >> harris: i want to get to tom dupree with the doj. domestic terrorism on our homeland. what's the penalty? >> it runs the gamut. ultimately the death penalty is available. i don't know if this case will rise to that level. no question this guy is facing dozens of years in jail. treasure trove of evidence. tough thing to defend. >> harris: gentlemen, thank you. we'll be right back. serving our country,ur sps you were serving too. taking care of the family. moving. paying the rent.

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 an

we have confirmed that this fingerprint is that of cesar sayoc. and there is also a possible connection from pieces mailed in separate envelopes and a sample previously collected from sayoc. >> reporter: and now he is in federal custody, arrested in south florida. authorities also impounding this white van taking every precaution unaware of what may be inside. >> we just took him into custody. we want the road shut down and then we'll start evacuating. >> reporter: sayoc had been living in that van recently after being kicked out of his parent's house. that van covered in plit stioli stickers, as well as one that says cnn sucks. here he is at a trump campaign rally last year holding a sign saying the same thing. sayoc's social media accounts feature numerous postings from trump rallies. and it reads like a target list for those who have received package bombs this week. he trolls former president obama with photos disparaging the kennedy family. he mocks biden's 9/11 message with a photo of his delaware home and pictures that suggest fire bombing

that means that sayoc meant business. he was serious in his attempt to do harm to his intended targets. he also appears to be something -- not something. he is, he professes to be a major trump fan who took things way, way too far. but the president would only say this. >> i did not see my face on the van. i don't know -- i heard he was a person that preferred me over others, but i did not see that. >> he didn't see his face on the van? everybody was watching that van today. come on, man. but when asked if he disavowed sayoc's support, he didn't answer the question at all but said he is not responsible for anything. >> there's no blame. there's no anything. >> we know from his social media that cesar sayoc has attended numerous trump rallies. we're going to run through some of them for you. this is a selfie that he took at one in florida, okay? this is october of 2016, just weeks before trump won the election. at that rally, trump slammed hillary clinton with his usual harsh and combative language. >> the clinton machine

how do you see that defense from sayoc? he was giving to investigators would not be the litmus test for the capability of these devices. it would be what the lab said. >> a lot of, we saw from athena's package there, that there are signs on social media, that sayoc was unstable. when is it a good time to comment to authorities? i mean there is nothing wrong, obviously, it is not illegal to have strong political views, it is not illegal to put them on the side of your van, but at what point is it appropriate to make a call to police? >> it is appropriate when people feel as though a threat was made to them. >> technology failed us this morning. we got a lot before it went down. mary ellen o'toole, fbi, former fbi profiler and special agent. thank you so much for being with us this morning. >>> well, there are negotiations going on right now, between megyn kelly and her bosses at nbc. the network confirming her morning talk show has been canceled. what is at stake as she negotiates her exit from the network? and where does sh

that is when he later saw police taking cesar sayoc away from him. he allegedly used about those of a devices together, including batteries and wiring, they are things you can find at a store like this. we did see f.b.i. agents earlier going inside the store and conducting an investigation. they are being tightlipped about what, if anything they have discovered there. that van that has become the focus of this investigation now connected with cesar sayoc. you wouldn't miss it if you saw it driving around the streets of plantation. and the lighter broward county area. we've seen reports across social media who are saying they have seen the van before , and clearly it sticks out. it has all of those political stickers of the president, the vice president, of course showing the owner of the van has very distinct bias against the mainstream media. this door, right now, remains closed as this can best occasion continues. >> you are not going to look at the van and be confused about cesar sayoc's political allegiances at all. that van was then covered with

so to recap, cesar sayoc jr. has been arrested in connection with the bombing probe that we have been talking about for the last few days. and there is to be a press conference this afternoon led by the joint terrorism task force, and in connection with the nypd, and you can see him as officer or detective there as part of it and the fbi and nbc news reported that the officials were circling florida as a location of where the package may have been sent. several hours ago around 10:00 a.m., myself and my colleagues here, pete williams and i started to get an indication that there had been or there was somebody that they were strongly considering and strongly eyeing in connection with this bombing, and at that time, the person was described as a male in his 50s and now we have more detail on who that person is, and in fact, that person has been take then into to custody. andrea. >> and we don't know if this is the only person who may be involved or may be of interest in connection to the packages? >> that is exactl
