None of the provided sources mention Jacob Breitman or a 1905 riot started with a bomb, so the claim can be neither confirmed nor refuted. The extraction faithfully reflects the passage, which is the claimant's own unsourced assertion.
What was said

The Pete Quiñones Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Context. The only passage mentioning Breitman is the claimant's own post, which cannot corroborate the claim. Its reference to a 1905 Kiev riot is also uncorroborated by the sources.
Context. The December 1905 Wikipedia page records other 1905 bombings and riots, such as the Caldwell, Idaho bombing that killed Frank Steunenberg, but does not mention Breitman or any riot he started.[4]
Context. Fact-checking and reference sources in the set (AP, Full Fact, Reuters, Britannica's 1905 Russian Revolution page) do not address Breitman or this claim, so there is no authoritative dismissal or confirmation.[1][2][3][5]
