1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: As I was planning on taking the day off today

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: that all went to the wayside as we now have

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: seen what has happened in this horrific terrorist attack in

4
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: New Orleans. Sources there are saying that there was a

5
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: writing found that supports the view attack was inspired or

6
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: involved with ISIS. We also have been told now that

7
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: there are more than just the driver that are involved

8
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: in this attack in New Orleans. I want you to

9
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: hear the latest from CNN as they reported on the

10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: FBI's recovered video showing not one, not two, but three

11
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: men and a woman who may have been involved in

12
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:46,279
Speaker 1: placing improvise explosive devices in New Orleans.

13
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 2: Listen to this, as Evan, you've been breaking news on

14
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 2: this throughout the course of the day. You're getting new

15
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 2: information about the FBI's investigation into whether the suspect had helped.

16
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 2: What are you learning, well, the key question obviously is

17
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: the help the additional so that the FBI Assistant Special

18
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 2: Agent in charge was mentioning. And what we know at

19
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: this point, Phil, is that the FBI has a recovered

20
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: video surveillance video that appears to show three men and

21
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 2: one woman appearing to help put IEDs. What are believed

22
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 2: to be IED's at locations in the French Quarter. Now,

23
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 2: we heard from the FBI there that there were additional

24
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,559
Speaker 2: potential explosives that were found during the search later this morning,

25
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: and they were rendered safe during the day today, and

26
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 2: so the surveillance video appears to show those people either

27
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 2: helping to put those devices there or being close by. Again,

28
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: that's part of this investigation now to find those people,

29
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: to ask them whether they were involved in some way

30
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: that they help build the explosives or were they just

31
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: you know, perhaps standing by. All of those things are

32
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 2: on the table for the FBI. The other thing that's

33
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: very key to this is, you know, the association with ISIS,

34
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 2: the idea that this person was inspired by a terrorist organization,

35
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 2: and what they found was some writings inside the truck,

36
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: perhaps on the person of this suspect that that appears

37
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: to suggest inspiration by ISIS. Again, that helps buttress the

38
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 2: viewed by law enforcement that this was a terrorist attack,

39
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: that this was something that was inspired by ISIS or

40
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 2: by terrorist organizations. Again, all of this is now part

41
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 2: of the investigation. The question of where this person got

42
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 2: their radicalization, how far back does that go. We know

43
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 2: that he is a former army member the US Army,

44
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: so you know how far back does that radicalization go.

45
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 2: We know he's from Houston. All of those places are

46
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: now being investigated, including locations in Houston as well as

47
00:02:55,200 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 2: locations in Louisiana where the suspect stayed before coming to

48
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 2: carry out this attack. All of those things now part

49
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 2: of this very broad investigation is going to be a

50
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 2: long time I think before we get a final answer

51
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 2: on everything that was involved here.

52
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, it just seems to just create more questions at

53
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 3: this point on some level, given the fact that there's

54
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 3: looking at more people real quickly.

55
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 2: Well, I just want to add real quick I mean,

56
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 2: the idea that you have more than one person involved,

57
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,399
Speaker 2: I think is a huge deal as far as an investigation,

58
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 2: because in the last few years, even in the era

59
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 2: of ISIS, what we've usually seen is lone wolf attacks.

60
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: We've covered so many of that of these you and

61
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: I and for you to have more than one person

62
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: involved typically is problematic for carrying out attacks because the

63
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: more people involved, the greater of the chance that the

64
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: law enforcement is going to find out something. So the

65
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 2: idea that they were able to carry this out more

66
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 2: than one person's involvement is a big, big part of this.

67
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 2: That's going to be very very hard for the FBI

68
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 2: to try to again figure out right revenue and.

69
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 3: The tim and doing great reporting all day.

70
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 4: Keep us posted as you learn more. Avian Paris, thanks

71
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 4: so much so.

72
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: That is what we have there now. We also the

73
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: FBI is now put on a new statements saying they

74
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: quote don't believe the driver in the crowd attack was

75
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: quote solely responsible. That is what we are being told now,

76
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: and we have some information about this attacker. The attacker

77
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: is a forty two year old US citizen from Texas.

78
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: He had an ISIS flag attached to the truck or

79
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: in the truck, maybe more than one flag. The FBI

80
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: is now saying that he's a forty two year old

81
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: US citizen from Texas, and there are reports that he

82
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: was actually had served in our US military. The suspect

83
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: as a man, and I don't want to use his

84
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 1: name just because I don't want people to feel like

85
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: when they do this they become famous. He is and

86
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 1: again this is new now coming from the FBI. I

87
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: want to be clear about this. This could change at

88
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: any moment. This is what we have right now. The

89
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: suspect is a forty two year old a US citizen

90
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: from Texas. He was having a Ford pickup truck which

91
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: appears to have been rented and FBI is working to

92
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,799
Speaker 1: confirm how the subject came into possession of the vehicle.

93
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: An ISIS flag was located in the vehicle and the

94
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: FBI is working to determine the suspect's potential association associations

95
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: plural and affiliations with terrorist organizations. Weapons and a potential

96
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 1: IED were located in the subject's vehicle. Other potential IDs

97
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: were also located in the French quarter. Now, the photo

98
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: that has been released by of the Neworons attacker shows

99
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: the man by the name again I don't want to

100
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: use his name, but could it very easily have ties

101
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 1: to the Middle East based on what we are seeing

102
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: and apparently he left a note as well. New information

103
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: the man again named as the truck attacker was an

104
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: Army veteran that's now been confirmed who worked in real

105
00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: estate and quote had financial troubles, So that is also

106
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 1: breaking right now as well on this. So that is

107
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 1: what we have. This is the latest on this now.

108
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: I say this the latest on this because there is

109
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:14,239
Speaker 1: another potential terrorist attack. Police are investigating at the moment

110
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: a cyber truck explosion at the Trump Las Vegas Hotel.

111
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: They are treating it as a possible act of tear,

112
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: is what officials are saying. Before I get into this

113
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: Trump Tower potential attack, I want to also let you

114
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: know they have canceled the Sugar Bowl for tonight. That

115
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: was the game that was supposed to take place in

116
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 1: New Orleans, and that game intentively will be played twenty

117
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: four hours later tomorrow night. This dead urban street. We're

118
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: getting so much information about this individual, and we're gonna

119
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: give you more as it's coming in. But let's also

120
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: get to this other attack that we are finding out about,

121
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: and that is police are investigating a cyber truck explosion

122
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: at the Trump Las Vegas Hotel. Well, they have confirmed

123
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: now they are treating that as a possible act of terror.

124
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: Authorities investigating the side of the truck. Apparently it pulled

125
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: into the circle drive there at the Trump Las Vegas

126
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: Hotel in Nevada and then the truck exploded. The person

127
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: that was in that truck apparently was killed. The police

128
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: have been telling the public to avoid the area. The

129
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: driver pulled into the valet area of the hotel and

130
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: the vehicle then exploded. According to an official, the driver

131
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: is apparently dead and so far the only casually from

132
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: the incident. Seven bystanders had injuries. Minor injuries were being

133
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: told Elon Musk coming out as many on the internet

134
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: of course hate Elon Musk. That may be part of

135
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: the reason why cyber truck was used to attack him

136
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: because of his close ties to Donald Trump. And here

137
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: is what Elon Musk has just said in a statement.

138
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,679
Speaker 1: Quote the whole Tesla senior team is investigating this matter

139
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: right now. We'll post more information as soon as we

140
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: learn anything. We've never seen anything like this, hight' he say,

141
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: We've never seen anything like this. He is referencing many

142
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: online that are trying to blame or claim that the

143
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: explosion was a lithium battery blast causing meaning the problem

144
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: was Elon Musk. Tesla. An official briefed on the investigation

145
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: has now confirmed, by the way to ABC News. Just

146
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: so that all the crazies can get shut down that quote,

147
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: this was not a lithium battery blast as some have

148
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 1: speculated online. The property is a subject of frequent threats

149
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: and heightened security given its connection to Trump, the Trump

150
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: Las Vegas Hotel, and Elon muss the see of Tesla

151
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: is a very close ally president like Donald Trump. In fact,

152
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: he was with President Trump saying next to him last

153
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: night at mar Lago Fort New Year's Eve. He is

154
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: also in charge of DOGE as you know, to cut

155
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: government waste. There's a lot of people that hate him.

156
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: They can't stand him, and that is why Elon Musk

157
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: said that the whole senior Tesla team has investigating the

158
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: matter right now. Authorities though coming out and briefing and

159
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: telling ABC News quote, this was not a lithium battery blast,

160
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: so this was obviously some sort of explosion slash terrorist attack.

161
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: Those are the two things there. Now, let me also

162
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: tell you something else that is coming out. The cyber

163
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: truck that could exploit in front of Trump and National

164
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: Las Vegas was rented, We're being told from Turo. So

165
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: that is a rental service where you rent a car

166
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: from individuals. We're now being told now that it was

167
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: rented from Turo. Law enforcement sources are now saying to

168
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: the media the F one fifty used in New Orleans

169
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: attack was also rented from Turo. Is there a connection

170
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: between these two rentals. We don't know, but apparently we're

171
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: now being told and this could change. I'm giving the

172
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: best information I have right now that both of these attackers'

173
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: cars were nice cars that were rented from Turo. Quote.

174
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 1: While the terrorists plotted, Joe Biden and his administration persecuted

175
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 1: the BS cases of real Donald Trump and allowed millions

176
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: in through the open southern border, including thousands of terraces.

177
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: There needs to be an accounting, and it's coming January

178
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: the twentieth. That is what one person just posted online

179
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: right now, a wounded combat veteran and a man who

180
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: is a GEOPEO political strategist saying, this is what you

181
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: get when you're not paying attention to what's actually happening

182
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: in the world. I can't disagree with that. I want

183
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: to be very clear. I think there's a lot of

184
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: this is we should have been securing the border. We

185
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: should have been We are stretched tooth thin, law enforcement

186
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: stretch too thin, and that's part of the reason why

187
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: we have all this happening right now. We also have

188
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: the President who has made it clear as he said

189
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: that things will change on January the twentieth. When these

190
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: types of things happen, America will act. And that's exactly

191
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: what we know. One of the things he did tweet

192
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: about an hour ago he said, when I said that

193
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: the criminals coming in are far worse than the criminals

194
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: we have in our country. That statement was consistently refuted

195
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: by Democrats and fake news media, but it turned out

196
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: to be true. The crime rate in our country is

197
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: at a level that nobody has ever seen before. Our

198
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: hearts are all with all of the innocent victims and

199
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: their loved ones, including the brave officers of the New

200
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: ors Police Department. The Trump administration quote will fully support

201
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: the city of New Orleans as they investigate and recover

202
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: from this act of pure evil. He is calling it

203
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 1: pure evil. We're also being told in sad news now

204
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: coming out of New Orleans from the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's office,

205
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: the death toll has risen to at least fifteen in

206
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: the New Orleans eve truck attack there, and they are looking.

207
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 1: There's a full blown manhunt going on now for three

208
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 1: men and one woman. As I played for you in

209
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: that report a moment ago, let me also play for

210
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: you the Louisiana Attorney General what he was said by

211
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: the Louisiana Tijorney General on Fox moments ago.

212
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 3: The Attorney General, Congressman Troy Katta said at the news

213
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 3: conference that you also attended, and this is a quote.

214
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 3: We will find you talking to the other suspects. We

215
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 3: will bring you to justice. Is that something a promise

216
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 3: that you, too, as Attorney General can make to the

217
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 3: people of Louisiana and indeed this country.

218
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 5: It absolutely is. And while there are else there are

219
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 5: certainly federal terrorism charges and other charges that can be brought.

220
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 5: We are willing to bring state charges as well, and

221
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 5: we have state terrorism charges. We have the death penalty

222
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 5: in Louisiana, and I'm certainly willing to ensure that we

223
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 5: carry it out.

224
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: One of the things that is really frustrating about this is,

225
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: let me just give you the FBI New Orleans tweet

226
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: that went out earlier this summer. It's said, and this

227
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: was tweeted out by FBI New Orleans on X quote,

228
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: FBI New Orleans is holding a diversity agent recruitment event

229
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 1: and we want to meet you agents and FBI executives

230
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: will provide first hand information about a rewarding career. Apply

231
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: now to see if you qualify for the July seventeenth

232
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: event in Louisiana with a link. They were hiring in

233
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: the FBI New Orleans not based on the best people,

234
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 1: but based on diversity, equity, and inclusion. This was a

235
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: directive clearly from the Biden administration. The New Orleans FBI

236
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: held a recruiting event a few months ago to recruit quote,

237
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: diverse agents, not the best agents, diversity agents. When you

238
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: play stupid games, you win stupid prizes. There's a lot

239
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: of people worried about the upcoming events New Orleans, the

240
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: Sugar Bowl, Mardi Gras, jazz Fest, and then the super Bowl.

241
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: We've also found out that those barriers that should have

242
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: been up on New Year's Eve before this Sugar Bowl

243
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: game were apparently not used or taken down to prepare

244
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: them for the super Bowl. There's a lot of people

245
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: that are very angry about why on Earth with local

246
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: leaders there think it's a good idea to not have

247
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 1: those hard barriers up. The New Orleans Police superintendent saying

248
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: this at a press conference moments ago.

249
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 4: Thank you, Governor and Madam Mayer. For those who do

250
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 4: not know me, my name is Anne Kirkpatrick. I'm the

251
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 4: Chief of Police of New Orleans. My title official title

252
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 4: is superintendent, but my role is as chief of police.

253
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 4: You know you've heard some of the details today and

254
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 4: over the last twenty four hours. We had approximately four

255
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 4: hundred officers in the French Quarter. And as we know,

256
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 4: this is not just an act of terrorism. This is

257
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 4: evil and when we face evil, we have a choice.

258
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 4: We can run in fear or we can indeed stand

259
00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 4: in strength. And a time of crisis are looking for leadership.

260
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 4: You are looking at the leadership and I promise you

261
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 4: as the chief of police of this city. This city

262
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 4: has been tried by fire before, but fire purifies, fire

263
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 4: makes things stronger. We have a plan, we know what

264
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 4: to do. We are going to get these people. There

265
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 4: is a path forward. Very pleased that we will be

266
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 4: back to having a wonderful game tomorrow night. New Orleans

267
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 4: Police have proven their ability to make the city safer.

268
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 4: Just two years ago we were the murder capital of America. Today,

269
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 4: from that time two years ago, we have driven our

270
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 4: murder rate more than fifty percent down. So we have

271
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 4: a track record. But this is different because it's terrorism.

272
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: Now.

273
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 4: I want to thank all of our law enforcement partners.

274
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 4: You're fabulous and we appreciate the partnership. But last night,

275
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 4: three of our officers engaged this terrorist who shot at them.

276
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 4: Three of the officers return fire. Those officers did not

277
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 4: run in fear. I liked what the mayor said this morning.

278
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 4: New Orleans Police and all law enforcement is built. We

279
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 4: are built for dealing with evil, with things that would

280
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 4: cause us others to be in fear. But instead, our

281
00:16:55,840 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 4: officers and last night NPD particular stood strong. They did

282
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 4: not run. They did kill the terrorist.

283
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: They did kill the terrorists. The question that we all

284
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: should be asking ourselves now and again, there's a lot

285
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: of breaking news on this. Number one, Why on earth

286
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: did the local elected officials, the Democrats are in charge

287
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: of New Orleans allow for the hydraulic road barriers to

288
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: be open and not be closed on New Year's Eve,

289
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: the day before this big Bowl game. Why do they

290
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 1: allow for those hydraulic road barriers that they know are

291
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 1: needed for exactly this scenario on New Year's Eve, when

292
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: that city is packed and an easy target to allow

293
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 1: for a truck to plow right into people, killing now

294
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 1: fifteen and wounding more than thirty. Why did the FBI,

295
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: who spends all this time on inclusion and in recruiting

296
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 1: a New Orleans initially come out and said it wasn't

297
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: a terrorist attack at first? Then there's an ISIS flag

298
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 1: that was found in the truck. Then because of voices

299
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: like you and me, we were able to put it

300
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: out there and force now the FBI to say, okay,

301
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: this was a tterarist attack. Yeah, duh, we know that. Duh.

302
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 1: We know that. These are the questions that we should

303
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: demand answers from. And finally, the terrorists was a formerly

304
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: in the US Army. Reports claim he was reported two

305
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 1: superiors for radical Islamic views, but those reports were being

306
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: told now in initial reports may have been ignored. And

307
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: more explosive devices were found in the French quarter, videos

308
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: showing three men one woman placing the additional bombs. Now

309
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: the FBI saying they believe the man didn't act alone.

310
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: Why do we have an FBI that cares more about

311
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 1: inclusion and equity than they do about catching the bad guys?

312
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,199
Speaker 1: These are all questions that you be asked. And the

313
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,719
Speaker 1: final question is now that a test a cyber trucks
