he have in his pocket? he had a weapon in his pocket and they believe that is the same thing on used in the investigation who exactly they were looking for. the killing of the ceo. appeared to pick up the gun and altoona, pennsylvania. they were doing everything in central park because they found what they believe has the shooter's back back tried to hide it in the woods. he reads midtown on an electric bike and comes to central park and stashes that back and what is inside? a man's jacket and monopoly money. to the question still in nano pinterest a suspect in for questioning, what was this all about? and i'm told it could be linked to brian thompson's job. we had a huge job of ceo unitedhealthcare. it could be disgruntled employee or somebody upset about the entire insurance industry and insurance system blaming him. the words written on shell casings tonight, dates and, at the post coach is something to

throw the police off of the trail. they did a good job and you have to give the nypd credit federal, state and local officers to find this officer here are joe and let's pull it up on the screen peer until he is smiling at a new york city hospital and then they have a picture of him leapb and looks directly at a camera inside of the taxi. the driver hands it over as evidence in the case. to those two pictures we keep showing, i am told this person at mcdonald's, possibly mcdonald's employee. even though the one at the hospital is clear, you can see his eyes, eyebrows, features, in a cast that is what they recognize. i think that looks like that guy in the picture appeared to it takes one last tip that is what happened in this case. they have him in for questioning at a local police department altoona, pennsylvania.

you know whatever questions they had on friday, they resolved. look, you america need at this and they got me that this. people need to be in a society where we don't have the police we need and they have been not everywhere and certainly not in the subway. if someone comes on the subway and says, "i'm going to kill today and i don't care if i go to jail the rest of my life." people are so petrified they feel they will pass out or hide their head or brings a cure is to bring her baby close to her, you hope you have danny penny on the subway car to protect you. you know what, i'm really angry at these people who are saying we need some impact. how about we do vigilantism? where were you when jordan neely was on the list of 50 of the most may be, homeless and mentally ill people in new york city in a city of

8 million people? this guy had open warrants for assaulting people on the subway. we had 42 arrests in seven years. where were you? let's not kid ourselves, the guy was 30 years old 6 feet 2 inches and taller than danny penny, ouch, threatening to kill on a moving block subway car underground and what are you supposed to do? let them attack people? in the end, danny penny did not use physical force that held him until the police came here to speak to perhaps that is why this is so important. this is black lives matter activist slamming the jury in this case and i want to get your thoughts after this. >> forget me forgive me for being jaded and cynical but once we sold the white jurors we need this case was over. let clay ford daniel penny his skin was not like the jurors and i hope they celebrate their christmas while the jordan neely family is praying and asking god for comfort.

>> you know what, i will tell you right up at the back, she said they were a black's, but there were hispanic on the jury that may be the better question why did danny penny make a decision to protect the african americans on the subway car? the hispanics on the subway car? why didn't they jump into jordan neely down because they felt he was a danger? she's got it backwards. it's about time instead of denigrating a good samaritan, we thank god and hope there is a danny penny on a subway car when we are confronting confronted with deadly eminent physical force. speech at this particular case implications how this will be handled in the future especially in a dangerous crime read new york city where people are scared to get on the train cars. >> do you remember they had ar-15s and the national guard town there. >> sandra: i see it every day when some of us go down there. judge, the latest on the suspect on the run in the case of the

this left a number of democrats printer biden and party leaders casting trump a threat to democracy left communications and vacuum during transition period. we were talking about this during the break in typically incoming administration is quiet january 20th and then they go about their business. this is different the first time in 120 years a former president who knows the ropes and knows everybody and everybody wants to get to know is back in office. >> donald trump does nothing in the typical way and he's reaching out to a lot of countries and i think a lot of them are reaching out to him because he knows and they know you'll either get a character or a stick with him. a lot of them are getting the stick and they want that carrot. emmanuel macron very smart and invited him to prestigious event. donald trump loves nothing more than the pomp and circumstance of those kind of events in france will benefit greatly from that. you saw trudeau come down to mar-a-lago up very quickly to

work out issues with the tariffs. i think there is consummation among democrats why we are ceding so much ground when donald trump is not present. i hope behind the cv to maxine's work when working with the trump administration. i'm not sure there is but it seems like donald trump is taking the lead before he's in office. >> john: because the world leaders know and everybody gets the carrot stick because remember the boy tied that carrot to the end of the stick and held it over the giant's nose and can't walk forward trying to get the care and attached to the stick. but it is modified over the years. i thought it was really interesting, too the catholic president of the united states did not attend notre dame. >> there is a vacuum and he is not engaged in visible ways anymore it seems like. for example, there is a story and there is a shrinking presidency essentially. both after bush to leave office and obama to leave office, press

conferences after election day. biden has not done that combined with the fact you are exactly right the world leaders note comp and want to talk to him. they know how he works and trump knows how they work. and justin trudeau immediately went to mar-a-lago after trump threatened tariffs. he wanted to get face-to-face with him and i think they are trying to start on the right foot because they know's 50th team went to in the room with the best deal possible. >> john: he gets to in the room by threats of tariffs. a lot of democrats are at sea like upset taking the back seat on the progress inside. theory for the democrats progressive wing has been sharper and this is one of the lamest of lame ducks we have seen with the democratic administration, massive missed opportunity according to one progressive democrat. should biden be laying back? he went to angola but it was not a huge news in terms of the

presidency, but he is really giving trump free reign i don't want to say to run the country because he's not doing that butn policy? >> i think biden should take the lead and should be trying to get stuff done at end of the presidency. >> john: he gives saying he will round through the tab. >> may be due to them behind the scenes and letting trump operate in the press where he likes to be center of attention. biden operating behind the scenes. i tend to not care what the progressives anchor is amongst things. they have little impact how democrats win collection so they should have been a little bit more vocal prenovember 5th and they are now. i think a lot of democrats are concerned we are letting donald trump have a two month head start on the presidency. maybe we need to be pushing back. we have the majority in the senate and we need to get stuff done before trump gets in there. >> john: trump is hitting the

ground running before january 20th. now that matt gaetz is gone, the opposition of the cabinet picks has very much more mutated. it could flame back up again when we see the actual hearings. when it comes to pete hegseth and others, tulsi gabbard, there is still criticism by the democrats that much more muted than it was. >> contrast trump elected 2016-2017 and it was very hot with marches in the street that now depressed and demoralized. you talk about biden going to angola, temps hunter biden on their lap with little pez once. and they are dealing with this. so democrats are far more demoralized when trump first elected eight years ago. very different this time around. >> john: no kidding. >> tulsi gabbard will get a lot

of attention because what is happening in previous positions. i think a lot of the attention is getting the addenda. >> john: her point is bashar al-assad was not direct threat to the united states, which is true. >> she had opinions not favorable or allies to the u.s. i think that is where a lot of their attention will start going. >> john: it is real clear his real friend is vladimir putin. guys, good to see you and we will do it again soon, sandra. speed to an all or nearly half past the hour you see activity around podium in new york city. we are told new york city mayor eric adams is expected to make or hold some press availability i should put it. i don't know exactly what the remarks will be or the questions he will be taking but obviously this could be surrounding danny penny not guilty verdict or it could be also surrounding the suspect that is now being

visit tightening night here at central park that in altoona, pennsylvania. that is foreign a half to five hour drive where are right now new york city. investigator say the person they are calling a suspect, a person of interest. they did not want to get too specific but sources, he was spotted altoona mcdonald's. he walks in there according to the police. he has a weapon in his pocket they believe is the murder weapon and some type of manifesto talking about the health care industry. let's go back to johnny and sandra, the sample did when we first saw the video of the shooting. sources telling me on the ground, this could be a skilled assassin. this guy may not have made mistakes but that does not look like the case. he has the weapon i am told and goes 400, 500 miles away to

altoona, pennsylvania, and spotted by a very smart person of mcdonald's who caught the attention of him and said to, this looks like the guy on the wanted poster. it started in new york city but kept saying on here over the weekend it does not matter where you live because a nationwide manhunt. they wanted everybody to zoom in on the guys face in looking at a camera, that photo was captured new york city taxi. he came to central park, dropped his backpack here inside of the backpack monopoly money and a man's jacket. throws it inside of the bushes and heals a cap and heads to the bus station. that cab ride to the bus station and this continues new york city has investigators on the ground around central park trying to find any evidence they can as they also worked this investigation and altoona. back here leah we will keep you posted on this press conference, john. >> john: it is interesting the

mayor said the news is tightening around the suspect, but it was that sharp i have elderly gentlemen mcdonald's altoona, pennsylvania, that may have broken this case wide open, which had everything to do obviously photos at the suspect taken various locations around new york city highly publicized across the country. what did that have to do with the police work? >> they said they were tracking him. i don't know if they had an eye on him he would show other cases, they don't want to put too much out so they may have known exactly who he was and they had his name this entire time and we could get that name in a press conference coming up here till they have known he was in pennsylvania and see if anyone would recognize him. a guy at mcdonald's took a quick look, hey, this looks like the gunman in the midtown shipping and the police are questioning him and here we are. it could be that one little tip that it doesn't mean you have to

be the lead investigator in the case sometimes a person i think donald's can crack it. good police work on the ground. they lived through thousands of hours of surveillance to get to this point, john. >> john: it led to the images but that is what crime stoppers is all about, get the suspect'sd see something, say something and it works together, i guess. alexis mcadams go to thank you so much. >> sandra: former chief executive officer chief executive officer ck restaurants, good to have you here. i thought of you this story formally high ranking ceo of major company when this happened. i think it struck so many of us the lack of security surrounding him for this person who is now a suspect just elevated from a person of interest to carry out such a heinous crime, a murder right here in the streets of manhattan in broad daylight. what were you thinking when you

first discover than his? >> first of all, a horrific event and you can't help but feel bad for the man's family and the ceo himself. obviously, he needed more security. if he had had more security, this would not have happened. there is another aspect of this. people seem almost supportive of the sugar. there is public reaction to the favor of the shooter. in that effect, ceos need to speak up. the reason insurance companies are having problems getting quality products at good prices to consumers is not because they don't want quality products or they don't want to charge a reasonable price. it is obamacare and government regulation and the position the government has put insurers end. the more you involve government, the more it will cost and the more the quality will go down. the only way to increase price or ever increase is competition. the more private sector competition, the better products

people can offer. this ceo like this individual need to get out and explain to the public what problems they are having, with her problems from the government or whether problems from large investment , statewide, make sure the public understands where they have to do what they are doing and not just shoulder all the blame for this. speed to regardless, obviously indefensible crime and should never happen to begin with. but obviously, that is an interesting angle to all of this as well and looking at live pictures altoona, pennsylvania, you have to think there had been more than one phone call in a business where i think i see this guy. this person's face absolutely everywhere for many, many days now. you have to wonder what that call was like altoona, pennsylvania, when they said local mcdonald's, i think we have the guy. speak of the city, it is a smaller community so easier for

the police to respond to a callt i think we have seen this guy. with the app in new york, chicago, los angeles it would take the place a little bit longer to get them back. by altoona, they were able to react quickly and thank god for this man at mcdonald's with a sharp eye here. >> sandra: we will see what comes from that and we watch every single detail. mayor adams at the microphone new york city. let's head there live. >> good afternoon. i'm joined here today by chief of detectives and police commissioner in chief of department because we have a strong person of interest in the shooting that shook our city last week. a ceo, brian thompson, of unitedhealthcare was the victim of a senseless act of violence.

our offices have been working around the clock. many of them did not go home. speetwo pursue this individual, it was crucial to be able to ree him up at the streets of america and we were going to seek him out no matter where he was at the time. so, this is a strong person of interest. the police commissioner in chief of detectives will go over where we are right now and investigation. he matches the description of the identification we have been looking for. he is also in possession of several items that we believe will connect him to this incident. how did we do it? good, old fashion police work. the chief of detectives and the police commissioner made the

decision to release as much of a photo that we had at the time. we sent it across the country and someone admit donald's, an employee, did something we asked every american to do. if you see something, say something, but most importantly, do something. and they did appear to because at that, we believe we have a strong person of interest to deal with this case. i will now turn it over to the commissioner, jessica tisch. >> thank you, mayor. good afternoon, everyone. earlier this morning altoona, pennsylvania, members of altoona police department arrested luigi, a 26-year-old male on firearms charges. at this time he is believed to be the person of interest in the brazen targeted murder of brian

thompson, ceo of unitedhealthcare last wednesday midtown manhattan. the suspect was mcdonald's and recognized by employee who then called local police. responding officers questioned the suspect who was acting suspiciously and carrying multiple fraudulent ibs as well as u.s. passport. upon further investigation, officers recovered a firearm on his person as well a suppressor, both consistent with the weapon used in the murder. they also recovered clothing including a mass consistent with those worn by wanted individual. also recovered was a fraudulent new jersey i.d. matching vid are suspect used to check into his new york city hospital before the shooting incident. additionally, a handwritten document that speaks to both his motivation and mind-set. nypd detectives on route to

pennsylvania as we speak or seek to interview the subject further. this apprehension is thanks to the tireless work of the greatest detectives in the world. and of course, the strong relationships we have at their local law enforcement partners on every level, local, state, and federal. we all serve the same public safety mission. in this case which captured the attention of an entire nation is another example of how connected we are and how important it is to work together, share information, and pursue every lead. for just over five days, our nypd investigators comb through thousands of hours of video followed up on hundreds of tips, and processed every bit of forensic evidence: dna, fingerprints, ip addresses and so much more to tighten the net.

we deployed drones, k-9 units and scuba divers. the awareness system, cameras and aviation campuses. our detectives also interviewing potential witnesses and doing the good old-fashioned police work our investigators are famous for. this combination of old school detective work and new age technology is what led to this result today. and we must also acknowledge the instrumental role, media and the public played in this case. the images that we shared with the public were spread far and wide. and the tips we receive led to the recovery of crucial evidence. we should never underestimate the power of the public to be our eyes and ears in these investigations. this is the third time in three weeks that a member of the public has seen something and said something and done

something that led to a high profile arrest. the triple stabbing homicide in manhattan, the gun point robberies in queens during which nypd officer shot, and now this. now, case will continue through the criminal justice process. while we are proud of today's accomplishments, we must, of course, remember a family is in mourning. i want to extend my sympathies to brian's family, coworkers and all who knew him. finally, i want to thank the women and men of the nypd and especially detective bureau personnel strong assessed from intelligence analysts. we also think the sac with it criminal investigation system and i want to command the staff of manhattan d.a.s office and especially b.a. alvin bragg. he has been working with us 24/7 on this case. and i'm incredibly grateful for

his partnership. i will now pass it along to great chief of detectives, joe kinney, who will provide additional information. chief. >> and q commissioner. good afternoon as commissioner stated earlier a man was taken into custody altoona, pennsylvania, this morning and he has been identified as luigi mangione and he has a male 26 years old and he was born and raised in maryland. we know he has ties to san francisco, california, and last known address was honolulu, hawaii. he has no prior arrest history in new york. members have the nypd detective bureau currently traveling to pennsylvania with members at manhattan attorney's office to interview the subject. the case was brought to successful conclusion based on coordinated effort between numerous nypd units including intelligence and counterterrorism prayer rope, partners at the fbi, manhattan district attorneys office

and members have the altoona police department in pennsylvan. on thursday one day after the crime was committed the nypd released a photo of the shooter in this case. the picture was obtained nypd during extensive video campuses. we took the photograph and we ask for the public's health to identify the subject and the public responded. hundreds of tips began to pour into the hotline. each tip was investigated thoroughly and we began to release additional photographs as they came into our possession. the nypd provided to numerous media outlets local, national, international outlets released a photo via television, print, social media and online print. they recognize the subject and called local police department. they responded to the call and based on notification they notified nypd. this investigation active and ongoing. thank you very much

mark. >> reporter: i had a couple of questions about document found he was in possession with. can you go over in depth motivations that you mentioned? was that ceo specifically named in the document and was there anything more about him wanting to go after others? also in the document, was there indication that explains how the level of detail he went into killing him? is there anything? >> that document currently in the possession of altoona police department. briefly speaking with them, we do not believe they are specific threats to other people in the document. but it does seem ill will towards corporate america. >> reporter: chief, was a suspect wearing a mask at the time he was spotted in mcdonald's? also, criminal cases all have a

linchpin. can you point to a single linchpin that cracked the case? >> there are numerous linchpins in the case and the fact we recovered an enormous amount of forensic evidence in an enormous amount of video. once again, with your help and the public's help. i could not put on one thing. but if i had to, the release of the photograph from the media. >> reporter: which is say. [inaudible] are you looking for evidence in central park? >> we had that came up with negative results. the passport, we do not believe he was planning on traveling. at this point in the investigation we do not believe he was trying to flee the country. >> reporter: the person at mcdonald's, what were they doing? >> it was an employee at mcdonald's. >> what was a suspect doing? >> he was sitting there reading.

>> reporter: back to new york. >> we have to work that out with the attorney's office in altoona and he will face gun charges there and some point we will work out to bring him back to new york to face charges but we are working with manhattan district attorney's office. >> reporter: i was just hoping to get more details. did he say anything to cops? we also reported he published online -- can you share with us what he posted? >> we are working through social media and we will do complete scrap of that. it seems he had ill will towards corporate america but that will come out. they are not done with that. we will still put this together and bring this to a successful conclusion. >> get a say anything to the place? >> i don't have that information. >> can you elaborate how we got there the fact that

george washington bridge? >> this just happened this morning and we will work to backtrack his tabs from new york to altoona, pennsylvania. >> reporter: i was going to ask if he took a bus to philadelphia first and then somehow got to altoona? we are still working on that and working through that. >> reporter: is there any one else working from the inside as far as tracking ceo's movements? once again, we are working the investigation hard. that could come out in the investigation but as of right now, we have no indication that took place.

>> will he face murder charges and face charges because he was targeting the ceo and because of his writings and other things that we are now finding on him? >> that determination will be made by alvin bragg. >> altoona specifically? >> he attended college in pennsylvania. i wouldn't be able to tell you that. >> we will take one more question. >> he talked about the manifesto said things against preparations but specifically unitedhealthcare and do you believe that luigi mangione acted alone? >> we believe at this point our investigation means towards acting alone. like we said earlier we are working through the investigation and not stopping

today. as far as manifesto, i don't have complete details of that but it is in the possession of the altoona police department. >> reporter: good job, commissioner, chief. >> again, great job by new york city police department and certain aspects of this investigation on the crime itself is something we have to zero in on, coast guns. we have a way talked about this since the beginning of the administration. they could be made on a 3d printer and they are extremely dangerous. and we must do more on the

federal level to crack down on the availability of ghost comments. ons. it leads to what we did last week and what we are doing this week. this week is all about public safety and public safety i have stated over again direct to prosperity. >> sandra: all right, we got the news and it happened this morning altoona, pennsylvania, members of altoona police department arrested luigi mangione, 26-year-old male on firearms charges and he is still labeled a strong person of interest in what was incredibly brazen targeted murder of brian thompson, ceo unitedhealthcare ceo. took the place gave details on thremanifesto at the mind-set of this killer or the suspect at this point or strong person of .

john, of the details are provided almost everything that he had on him and that mcdonald's at the time would point to this being the killer at that ceo. >> john: it seems to line up the way it was described by jessica tisch, the police commissioner that the manifesto suggested he held ill will to corporate america and in possession 9-millimeter ghost guns and suppressor likely printed out on 3d printer. this is what the police have been so worried about that the ghost guns impossible to trace because no serial number and not registered with anybody. 9 millimeters or a whatever cartridges and put them in the gun and this would prove to be somewhat unreliable and jammed a couple of times and he had to inject those live rounds, in order to get one in the chamber to fire, proved to be deadly effective against the target. show is it retired nypd and i

guess the brilliance of the police work is getting the phots out as the police commissioners and other said nationwide the public could spout this person and in this case mcdonald's in altoona, pennsylvania. >> that is absolutely the case. they put out the photos as they got them. you heard cheap can he say that he kept close which is how they should run the investigation. outcome is an excellent one. the fact he had the weapon on him and all this material on him shows how arrogant he really is in this crime. the fact that everybody thought he was a professional killer and not by any means, it is his arrogance and the way he committed the crime. what he did afterwards with a backpack and everything and kept showing everything, he threw everybody off. everybody thought you might have tossed the weapon into the lake

that yet, he has had on him. and altoona, why going there? i'm sure the police department and the detectives knew the bus routes and destinations and put the description out to them and their disabilities along the route. way over there make and keep the stuff with the manifesto? wasn't planning something else and that will to the investigation coming out from this point on. they will go on social media and see what the tie is to thompson if there is one because the question begs to be asked, why was he there that particular time a quarter until seven where mr. thompson with? >> john: how did he get them inside information? his page on x up and operating. it looks like he hasn't posted on it for a while. you talk about the arrogance of the suspect, joe, the fact he wrote what he did on the shell
