00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio News.

2
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 2: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here

3
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 2: are the stories we're following today.

4
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 3: Karen, we begin with a pair of incidents that are

5
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,760
Speaker 3: putting national security back in the spotlight at the start

6
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 3: of the year. First in New Orleans, where a man

7
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 3: drove a rented pickup truck into a crowd of New

8
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 3: Year's revelers in the French Quarter. At least fifteen people

9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 3: were killed, dozens more wounded. This man says he witnessed

10
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 3: the rampage trek.

11
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 2: Hates the corner and comes barreling through people, throwing people

12
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 2: like like a movie scene, like real.

13
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 4: Life, throwing people into the air, they falling.

14
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 5: Under the car.

15
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,319
Speaker 3: The driver was killed in a shootout with police. He's

16
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,959
Speaker 3: been identified as shamsudn Jabbar, a forty two year old

17
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 3: Army veteran from Texas. Alithia Duncan is the Assistant Special

18
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 3: Agent in charge of the FBI's New Orleans Field Office.

19
00:00:58,760 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 4: We do not believe the.

20
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 3: Javar was slowly responsible.

21
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: We're aggressively running down every lead, including those of his

22
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: known associates.

23
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 3: FBI Special Agent Aalithia Duncan says authorities found an Islamic

24
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 3: state flag in the pickup truck, along with two improvised

25
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 3: explosive devices. She says more potential IEDs were found in

26
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 3: the French quarter. This attack happened hours before the Sugar

27
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,279
Speaker 3: Bowl was set to kick off at the Caesars super

28
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 3: Dome in New Orleans. That game has been postponed to

29
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 3: today well Nathan.

30
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 2: Hours after the New Orleans attack, an incident in Las

31
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 2: Vegas piled onto the security concerns. A Tesla cyber truck

32
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: pulled up to the Trump Las Vegas Hotel and exploded,

33
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 2: killing the driver and injuring seven others. Kevin mcmayhill as

34
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 2: the Las Vegas sheriff.

35
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 6: It pulled right up to the glass entrance doors of

36
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 6: the hotel. We saw that smoke start showing from the

37
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 6: vehicle and then a large explosion from the truck occurs.

38
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 2: Sheriff mcmayhill says fuel canisters and fireworks more are found

39
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: inside the cyberg truck. Tesla CEO Elon Musk says the

40
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: company has confirmed the blast was not caused by the

41
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 2: vehicle itself, and he's suggesting it could be linked to

42
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 2: the New Orleans attack. President Biden says law enforcement is

43
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 2: probing both incidents, and he sent a message to the

44
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: people of New Orleans.

45
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 7: To all the families of those are killed, to all

46
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 7: those are injured, to all the people of New Leans.

47
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 7: We're grieving today. I want you to know I agrieve

48
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 7: with you. Our nation grieves with you.

49
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: President Biden addressed the nation last night from Camp David

50
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 2: think Care.

51
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 3: And both incidents come less than three weeks before Donald

52
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 3: Trump is sworn in as president. We get more on

53
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 3: the President elect's reaction from Bloomberg Television Managing editor Miles Miller.

54
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 4: President, like Donald Trump, who takes office on January twentieth,

55
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 4: Calby's attacks an urgent reminder of the need for robust

56
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 4: national security. Of course, the FBI is probing both of

57
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 4: these crime scenes, and Donald Trump has pledged to replace

58
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 4: the FBI director, who's already nominated someone to be Homeland

59
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 4: Security chief. But this highlights the need for robust domestic security.

60
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 4: When we talk about everything from homegrown terrorism to attacks

61
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 4: from ISIS and the like. This threat of homegrown terrorism

62
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 4: is not new.

63
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 3: Bloomberg Television Managing editor Miles Miller says President elect Trump

64
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 3: also used the incident to a sale crime and border security,

65
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 3: suggesting before the suspect was identified as an American Army vet,

66
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 3: that he may have been a migrant.

67
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 2: Well, we turned to the markets now, Nathan, and it

68
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 2: wasn't such a great beginning for stocks in Asia. In fact,

69
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: Chinese stocks say their worse start to a year and

70
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 2: nearly a decade. We get more from Bloomberg Markets reporter

71
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: Mark Cranfield in Singapore.

72
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 8: A little surprising in some respects when all the effort

73
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 8: the Chinese authorities were making towards the end of last

74
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 8: year to remind investors about all the stimulus they're doing

75
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 8: and all the positive aspects in terms of trying to

76
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 8: promote growth in twenty twenty five, and yet here we

77
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 8: are with little sign that they're doing anything today, and

78
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 8: even a speech from President Seaging Ping at the end

79
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 8: of last year doesn't seem to have rallied the market

80
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 8: at all.

81
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 2: And Bloomberg's Mark Cranfield says stocks in China plunged two

82
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 2: point nine percent in Hong Kong's Hang Sing Index led

83
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 2: two point two percent.

84
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 3: Nice for US markets, Karen futures are higher as we

85
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 3: kick off the new year following gains of twenty four

86
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 3: percent for the S and P five hundred and twenty

87
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 3: twenty four for more. Let's bring in Bloomberg's John Tucker. Though, John,

88
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 3: we did end the year on something of a sour no,

89
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 3: didn't we?

90
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 9: Yeah, good morning, Nathan. A four day slump in fact

91
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 9: marked the end of twenty twenty four. But keep in mind, Nathan,

92
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 9: the period known for the so called Santa Claus rallies

93
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 9: also includes the first two trading days of the year,

94
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 9: So not over just yet. Now, last year did mark

95
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 9: the best two year run for the S and P

96
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 9: five hundred since the late nineteen nineties. The magnificent seven

97
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 9: megacaps power to surge of more than fifty percent of

98
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 9: the benchmark index since the start of twenty twenty three.

99
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 9: That was amid enthusiasm, of course, around artificial intelligence at

100
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 9: AI arling in Vidia was up for the year one

101
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 9: hundred seventy nine percent. So what's ahead? Looking forward? There's

102
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 9: at least one key for portfolio manager Matt Stuckey at

103
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 9: Northwestern Mutual.

104
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 10: The path of interest rates and the level of interest

105
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 10: rates has really dictated winners and losers in the economy

106
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 10: as well as in the markets.

107
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 9: And investor is also waiting to see if the AI

108
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 9: story is going to broaden out to the rest of

109
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 9: the market. That would mean that earnings growth would be

110
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 9: supported not just by the mag seven but also other

111
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 9: sectors of the S and P five hundred. You know

112
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 9: yourcom John Tucker, Bloomberg.

113
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 2: Radio, All right, John, thank you. About twenty twenty four

114
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 2: was one of the best years for cryptocurrencies on record,

115
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 2: led by regulatory approval for spot bitcoin ETF and President

116
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 2: Elect Trump's win. In fact, bitcoin rallied one hundred and

117
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 2: twenty percent last year. We're checking bitcoin right now it

118
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 2: is higher, up one point nine percent at ninety six

119
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 2: five hundred dollars.

120
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 3: And gold's edging higher as well, Karen, after notching its

121
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 3: biggest annual gain since twenty ten. It searched twenty seven

122

Speaker 3: percent in twenty two twenty four Traders assessing prospects for

123
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 3: a slower pace of monetary easing by the Fed in

124
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, and checking gold right now, it is

125

Speaker 3: hired by about two tenths of one percent at twenty

127
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 3: and it's time.

128
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 2: Now for a look at some of their stories making

129
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 2: news in New York and around the world. And for

131
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 11: Happy New Year to you, Karen. The New York Police

132
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 11: Department says that it was not a terrorist attack after

133
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 11: ten people were shot outside of Jamaica Queen's nightclub on

134
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 11: New Year's Day. It was believed to be a private

135
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 11: event with dozens inside. Police said several males walk toward

136
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 11: the venue and opened fire in the direction of a

137
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 11: group standing in line outside the event. In my PD,

138
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,679
Speaker 11: Chief of Patrol Philip Rivera spoke to ABC seven, there's.

139
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 6: Zero tolerance for these senseless shootings, these horrible acts of

140
00:06:58,880 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 6: violence on our streets.

141
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 3: As old responsible for this crime will be apprehended.

142
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 11: And brought to justice. Chief Rivera says the victims were

143
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 11: between the ages of sixteen and twenty and are expected

144
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 11: to survive. A forty five year old man remains hospitalized

145
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 11: after being shoved onto the path of an oncoming subway

146
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 11: train in Manhattan. The victim remains in stable condition with

147
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 11: broken ribs and a fractured skull. This woman was in

148
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 11: the subway station and saw the incident. Unfold.

149
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 10: Something needs to be done. I don't know if it's

150
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 10: enhanced security in the subways, help for mentally ill people

151
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 10: in the streets. It was terrifying.

152
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 11: A twenty three year old from Brooklyn, Kamil Hawkins, has

153
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 11: been charged in the attack. At least three people were

154
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 11: killed in a fireworks explosion in a Honolulu area neighborhood

155
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 11: just before midnight on New Year's Eve. At least twenty

156
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 11: others were injured. Hawaii Governor Josh Green described the explosion

157
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 11: area as gruesome.

158
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 3: There's organic material from our loved ones on the windows

159
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 3: of the building, across the street and the cars. I mean,

Speaker 3: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. The new year is beginning

221
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 3: with new concerns about national security after a truck attack

222
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 3: in New Orleans and a cyber truck explosion outside the

223
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 3: Trump Hotel in Las Vegas within hours of each other.

224
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 3: On New Year's Day, President Biden is urging Americans not

225
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 3: to jump to conclusions, but he does say this, I know.

226
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 7: I can speak for all Americans, and I say our

227
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 7: hearts were the people in New Orleans after despicable attack

228
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 7: that occurred in early morning hours.

229
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 3: I'm President Biden, addressed the nation last night from Camp David.

230
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 3: This morning, were joined by Bloomberg News Senior editor Bill

231
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 3: Ferries for the latest on both these incidents. And first off, Bill,

232
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 3: the question that I think a lot of Americans are

233
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 3: asking you this morning is whether there's any indication that

234
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 3: these two incidents could be related.

235
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 9: Good morning, Hey.

236
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 10: Good morning, Nathan, Thanks for having me. Yeah, that is

237
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 10: one key area of investigation now. So far, authorities have

238
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 10: given us a lot more details about what happened in

239
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 10: New Orleans versus what took place in Las Vegas. It's

240
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 10: not clear at all if there is a connection. There

241
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 10: is one thing that we do know, and that the

242
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 10: vehicles in both of these attacks were rented from the

243
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 10: same app, Turo, which a lot of people use to

244
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 10: do short and long term car rentals directly from owners.

245
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 10: That may or may not really mean anything. At this point.

246
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 10: What investigators are saying is that the suspect in the

247
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 10: attack in New Orleans, he was a forty two year

248
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 10: old Army veteran and American. He did appear to have

249
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 10: some explosive devices in his vehicle. There are also reports

250
00:12:55,360 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 10: from officials that there were potential explosive devices found elsewhere

251
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 10: in the French quarter there in New Orleans. The suspect

252
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 10: also had a flag showing support for Islamic State. President

253
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 10: Biden said he had recorded that the suspect had recorded

254
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 10: a video showing support for Islamic State as well before

255
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 10: the attack. But we don't know if there's really any

256
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 10: connection to what we saw happen outside that Trump hotel

257
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 10: in Las Vegas just a few hours later.

258
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 3: Well, let's talk a little bit more about what we

259
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 3: do know about this suspect. You mentioned the Islamic State

260
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 3: flag and improvised explosive devices found in his truck, But interestingly,

261
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 3: he was also an American Army veteran. I mean, what

262
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 3: does that tell you.

263
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 10: Yeah, there was a post from you know, President elect

264
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 10: Donald Trump soon after the attack saying that, you know,

265
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 10: suggesting that maybe this was someone who had come into

266
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 10: the country illegally. What we do know so far, as

267
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 10: you said, forty two year old Army veteran from Texas

268
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 10: who died at the sea, possibly in a shootout with

269
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 10: police there. It sounds like there is a report of

270
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 10: the New York Times that that the suspect, Shampsu den Jabbar,

271
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 10: did some did a tour of with with the military

272
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 10: in Afghanistan. We don't have a lot of other details.

273
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 10: In particular, officials have said that there he may have

274
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 10: had some help. We don't know that for sure yet.

275
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 10: They're talking to acquaintances, They've gone taken the investigation back

276
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 10: to Houston to look to see if there are any

277
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 10: leads there, and they're calling on the public for any

278
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 10: any help the public can provide in terms of what

279
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 10: may have been going on in this person's life, what

280
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 10: they may have been talking about recently, what led up

281
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 10: to all of this tragic evening.

282
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 3: And in terms of the cyber truck explosion in Las Vegas,

283
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 3: you mentioned that there's a lot more detail that we

284
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 3: seem to know about the New Orleans incident. But what's

285
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 3: the latest of what investigators have learned in Las Vegas.

286

287
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 10: from around the area. There's reports that the cyber truck

288
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 10: may have driven by the Trump Hotel about an hour

289
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 10: before it pulled up right in front. Video that police

290

Speaker 10: after that explosion takes place, after that fire kind of

293
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 10: envelops the vehicle. You see fireworks exploding all over the place.

294
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 10: We don't yet know if there was a bomb that

295
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 10: went off or if it was some other kind of
