>> shannon: a fox news alert. we are covering two major stories this morning. >> griff: first entering day two manhunt suspects connected to the u.s. isis terror attack in new orleans which killed at least 15 people and hospitalized at least another 30. >> lawrence: the fbi continues to investigate this morning. louisiana attorney general liz mueller telling this last hour. tsh clear the fbi is in charge of this investigation. the information we have received is coming through the fbi i have not received a lot of information from them. >> shannon: police are narrowing down their suspects after this cyber truck explosion that happened in front of a trump hotel it. happened yesterday morning. >> griff: officials are looking into whether the two incidents are connected as we are learning both trucks involved were rented through the same car rental

aperture row. >> the company is cooperating with temperatures madison with more. >> good morning, griff, sandra and lawrence. lawrence here in new orleans are shocked. now, the fbi says it is expectation to turn its investigation over to local officials or exexcuse me turn the bourbon crime street to local officials as very active investigation continues and officials still believe there are more suspects out there will shamsud-din jabbar, traumatizing people celebrating the new year. >> aggressively running counsel

every lead ensuring [inaudible] that's why we need the public's help. >> investigators are trying to figure out how jabbar, a texas born u.s. citizen became radicalized. he served 13 years in the army reserves. the fbi says there was an isis flag and pipe bombs in the truck he was driving. police say jabbar was able to get past a cop car that was essentially working as a barrier because the normal barriers there were not in effect. we have been aware of the bollard situation for a long time and we did, indeed, harden those target areas. this particular terrorist drove around onto the sidewalk. now, the wedges that you see out there as well, we knew that that had malfunction problems. so we did indeed have a plan but the terrorist defeated it.

>> the fbi says it's carrying out a search warrant at a house northwest of houston. it's believed to be jabbar's. no arrest have been made according to the fbi and sources tell fox that there could be explosives inside the home. so the fbi joint terrorism task force are expected to clear out the area soon. and back out here live here in new orleans, we are expected to hear more about some of the victims in the coming days out of the 15 people who died. we know that one of them was a former princeton football star and one was an 18-year-old girl. but we will be out here all day giving you guys the latest as more information comes. in i will send it back to you. >> lawrence: thank you, madison, we appreciate it. so the first thing that comes to mind was madison's reporting that they -- the feds plan on turning the scene back over to the local cops. what we learned from the preference yesterday, the moment that the feds turned the scene back over that they're opening up bourbon street. you are about to put law enforcement in another peculiar

situation. they have to secure this bowl game tonight and now bourbon street is going to be back open and have to secure that because last time i checked. they still have not fixed the security that led to this attack, which is the guy was able to go on the sidewalk. >> shannon: just the stories that are emerging from the ground there. eyewitnesses of what happened and those who feel like alex birth mitchell who joined us last hour who feel is he lucky to be alive. he told us this just moments ago. >> couldn't go anywhere. i couldn't do anything. the police wouldn't let us. and looking back on it, it makes sense, you know, it's a terrorist event. so it's ongoing threat. what if i could be the threat? i get it. but, it was just very stressfulful, hectic. and i also felt like i just -- i recorded that just for the world to know what was going on. this was crazy. i needed proof and my family know i was alive. i got in and out of there. if i would have waited maybe, no more than a minute, i could have

been out there hurt, injured, dead. i'm lucky to be alive of the wrist band let us get back in quickly, easily. i wanted to go back in and didn't feel like being out on the street anymore. maybe that saved me i also still feel guilty i couldn't help and that other people didn't make it out. >> shannon: this was his video he took that day. his buddy jimmy, alex was recently divorced. his buddy jimmy said let's go out and celebrate the new year and look forward to 2025 and new beginnings. alex says o. said he is usually working so hard. this was first time out on new year's eve. this happened. thank god they are okay. wrist bands on. they had been walking for a while. their apple watch went off. they said let's head back inside. able to quickly get back inside because they already had wrist bands on. he said if even a minute later, he hadn't realized that they should step inside, things could

have turned out so much differently for him. i expect that in the coming hours, we will hear so many more stories because there were thousands of people surrounding this crime scene. >> griff: sandra, such a good interview you did. when he talked about what is clear and justified survivors guilt coming out and he got emotional in speaking about it to you. it really dawned on me that, you know, we are so numb to terror attacks we read about all around the world. it's become far too common and yet his experience is so raw about wanting to help. feeling guilty did he survive. it's a whole different thing to process. and i think we will hear more stories like that. but that interview was really good because it really brought

how for highing that tragedy was. >> he was happy he and his buddy survived he felt guilty he doesn't couldn't have done more to prevent more loss of life. we walk this peculiar line this morning because we want to honor and respect the victims and highlight their stories we have still have company is according to the fbi and what they put out out there on the loose. we are trying to remember the loss and honor them like they should be and not mention the terrorist name as much as possible. but we also have a city on edge. we have cities on edge because we know there protesters in the street that claim to be -- their allegiance to radical islam. we see their flags. we don't have to wonder what they believe. they hold up those flags in the middle of streets today. so, there is a real threat out there. and we'll spend time honoring the life and legacy of the

victims here. but there is a sense of urgency across the country how are we going to keep americans safe. >> shannon: pressure is on with hours to go until the sugar bowl will happen. at least for now it is still on. they postponed it. the a.g. at the top of the 6:00 hour. she suggested perhaps they should be waiting even longer. she shrug suggested friday would be better. although she says she feels that the streets are safe. the streets are secure. you are going to have a lot of people descending on that city to go to a big game tonight. we know that new orleans is a fun place. this is why people book their trips to go there. they are going there looking to have a good time. pressure building in the coming hours to make sure they are securing that city. >> lawrence: that's exactly right. to another fox news alert. las vegas police are revealing new details about the tesla cyber truck explosion that happened just outside of trump international hotel. which killed the driver and hurt several other people. >>

>> griff: chanly painter is here with more. >> good morning, police say they have identified the person who was driving that tesla cyber truck. it is believed the driver was a colorado springs native with military experience. the person was killed in the explosion. seven others were injured. authorities say they found gas and filled canisters as well as mortars in the truck. they were able to trace that vehicle back to colorado using video footage captured at charging stations. now investigators are trying to determine if there is a link to the attack in new orleans. watch. >> we're absolutely investigating any connectivity to what happened in new orleans as well as other attacks that have been occurring around the world no. overt isis flag as was seen in new orleans. but, again, we are investigating every aspect of this. >> rented from the same ride share company turo. in a statement spokes men said we are heart broken by the what

happened in las vegas. we are actively partnering with law enforcement authorities as they investigate both incidents cyber truck investigation did involve input. posted on x we have confirmed that the explosion was caused by very large fireworks and/or are a bomb carried in the bed of the rented cyber truck and is unrelated to the vehicle itself. all vehicle at the lem tri was positive at the time of the explosion. musk and police upwards and not breaking the doors on the hotel lobby. incredible. >> lawrence: thanks, chanly. >> shannon: thank you. incredible. i think we will learn a lot more here. what is remarkable there is not any updates or briefings on the calendar yet today. i'm sure there will eventually be one. we are really dependent on an update from the federal authorities on the ground in new

orleans and any update coming from las vegas to determine if there is any real connection here to the two events. >> griff: all we really have now are the similarities. and as. >> tom: homan mentioned one similarity we already know about, they both served in the military. there is also he thinks we should learn whether or not they both had recent foreign travel. and that would suggest that that played a part in them being radicalized or being, you know, isis-inspired it. will be something to learn. one thing i think we learned, lawrence, from your interview with joey jones is that there are some non-similarities in the way that this bomb and the cyber truck seemed to be not as sophisticated, i suppose is the right word, than what they found in shamsud-din jabbar's truck in new orleans. >> lawrence: i also asked them

about the ieds that were in new orleans. and if there are any similarities, what type of information would law enforcement be looking for. connected to. this is what he had to say about that. >> you think something like black powder or fuel, gas, or propane, something like that. and you want to create a detonation out of it, you have to keep it closely contained. so if you put all those fireworks in that fuel tank in the back of a standard suv, depending on what they use to set it off. if they just lit a fire. or if they actually used something like a pipe bomb, if they just lit a fire back there, the fact that that tesla truck is hardened and contained it might have been the only reason it had an explosive property at all in the back of an suv it might have just burned. on the idea of the creating a signature, 100 percent. can you recover fingerprints from tape from a bomb that's exploded. d.n.a., forensic evidence and also serial numbers -- if they were created for remote detonation, that means there is electronics on there that was manufactured somewhere.

we do a fantastic job of tracking that down. >> lawrence: find it interesting what joey is suggesting the fact that the vehicle was contained like that. that that almost became the bomb itself. he thought he was transporting the bomb. but he ended up being the bomb. and that's why it went off in that way. >> griff: as we look for more answers, ted williams, fox news contributor, former d.c. homicide detective has now gone to new orleans. ted, you had great reporting yesterday. you are now on the ground in new orleans. what can you tell us? what are you learning? >> >> you know, guys, i would love to say happy new year to you. but there is a sobering reality here on the ground in the french quarters in new orleans that 15 individuals went out to celebrate the new years and never came home to their loved one. what is happening right now is that law enforcement is moving in a backwards manner to try to determine as much as they can

about this terrorist. and yes i do call him a terrorist. what they are actually doing is doing a scrub of all of his internet sites. they are talking to relatives and friends there in houston, texas they are also doing what i define as a plate reared. if you come in from will houston texas, you go down what is known as interstate 10 coming in to new orleans. i would have to believe that they have done a scrub there to try to determine who could be involved with this guy. >> lawrence: ted, i'm curious because you are down on the ground. they said there are other suspects that were involved with this. what is the mood like? are people panicked? are people roaming the streets there in new orleans or do you

see most of the people sheltered in place? >> no, my friend. it doesn't seem as though people are panicked there are a lot of individuals who are getting ready to go to the superdome for the sugar bowl later tonight or this afternoon. so there is really not a panic. but there is eerie feeling as people walk down the street there is no doubt in my mind that they are thinking about what took place here that should not have taken place in any city this is something that law enforcement has to be very aware of and vigilant not let your guard down. i believe just for a second here in new orleans. that the guard was let down when these barriers were not in place and when this alleged killer went around those barriers on

the sidewalk and wound up mowing down all of these individuals, these people. >> shannon: ted, to be clear, for many much us who have been right where you are standing several times, you know to be vigilant, i mean, it's not news to say new orleans sphrufers a crime crisis. so you are always parents who go to celebrate from local colleges and universities, even in surrounding states. vigilance is key. i imagine more so today than ever though as so many people will be arriving there in that city for the big game tonight. >> you know, you are absolutely right. what we have to do as americans because we need to understand that there are individuals who want to kill us. you have got either isis inspired people like this killer or you got isis directed people. the isis inspired people are out here.

so we are counting on citizens. when you see something, say something. talk to law enforcement about anything that you may see. >> griff: ted, just finally, you and i have covered a lot of crime scenes and as you are on the ground now, what do you want to know next? what is your focus right now in trying to learn more? >> griff, what i want to know is more about anybody who may very well be affiliated or associated with this heinous act here in new orleans. so i'm hoping that law enforcement in some give us more information about individuals they believe may very well be involved with this killer. >> griff: yeah, they don't give those details. maybe we will get an update. we will talk to the governor of louisiana. maybe he has something to share. ted williams, thank you. we will check in with you later in the show. >> lawrence: yeah, i don't understand the -- i get what the

leaders are trying to do. they don't want panic to happen. you can't say that you have a manhunt now for other people involved with this tragedy and then at the same time say the people are safe. those two things can't be true at the same time i'm sure the idea nor law enforcement on the scene. the part i worry about, yes, inside you have the stadium, superdome, there is going to be magna tom terse. bomb squad do sweeps make sure there is no explosives inside. as people gather outside, to make their way there, that's where the enemy is going to tried attack. i don't think you can say that's safe. >> shannon: they are going to be gathering before and along after the game. so all of that is obviously going to be key. the attorney general of the state joined us at the top of the 6:00 hour this morning. and i don't know, we seem to all sort of pick up on, perhaps, there is some differences in opinion on how to move forward. she actually suggested she would

have waited to host the game until tomorrow. listen. >> first priority today is the safety of everybody in new orleans while we kind of carry out and go through with this game. i did express some concern about that. yesterday there were discussions about whether to have the game last night, which frankly thought was absurd. we still had bodies that had to be removed to the ground to secure the crime scene and so seemed that was not a hard decision to make even if the logistics were more complicated. the governor has added 100 national guard to that area to ensure that it is secure. but, you know, there is a lot going on. it's an active investigation of a crime scene after a terrorist event. and i don't think we could -- i mean, it's not possible to take this too seriously.

i would ask probably at least have postponed it until friday. you know, i think that they have secured the city. it's okay, i guess if they are going forward with it. but i would probably have at least delayed it to friday. >> shannon: she also aired frustration to us earlier about not getting new information from the federal authorities who are still leading this investigation. they haven't yet turned it over to our knowledge to the local authorities on the ground. but, if you -- we all know the governor of louisiana. he means business. i mean, to her point, he is doing everything he can to secure that city. even went out to dinner last night. took a picture of himself doing so. he will be joining us in just a bit. this is still fresh. to her point, i mean, it's 7:20 a.m. in the east coast. this happened 3:15 central time yesterday. we are about 27 hours out from when this happened. this is still very fresh and the authorities are still very much in the middle of this investigation. >> griff: with a manhunt for suspects. you can't overstate this is the top law enforcement officer in a state that just suffered

potential islamic terrorist attack with suspects still out there i think her concern it's always going to be two sides ever the argument. one, you can't let the terrorists win. you got live your life. on the other hand, the fact that she wasn't even briefed on where it stands this morning eye by the time we as on the air with us about the potential for the threat and, again, we don't know right now the details of this attack but, if it was simply inspired as opposed to even coordinated or directed, are there copy cats? are their others inspired out there? and what does she know about that? she doesn't know. i think justified in her concerns about carrying on. >> lawrence: chief law enforcement officer of the state doesn't have confidence right now. i don't know how the citizens can have confidence. and i think that's what many are left with right now. i will end how i began. how can you say there is a

manhunt underway and say that the people are safe as well. >> griff: it's great question, lawrence. we will ask house speaker mike johnson who will join us on the breaking news in his home state of louisiana, next. ♪ customize and save with liberty mutual. customize and sa— (balloon doug pops & deflates) and then i wake up. is limu with you in all your dreams? oh, yeah. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty. ♪

♪ lawrption lawrence back a fox news alert. president biden and president-elect trump and lawmakers on capitol hill are reacting to yesterday's deadly bourbon street terror attack. >> griff: doug luzader is in washington. >> we started hearing calls from members of congress almost immediately after this attack looking to answers from the fbi and other agencies that are investigating. this here's what we know so far. the alleged driver, of course, 42-year-old shamsud-din jabbar an army veteran who at one point had deployed to afghanistan. police say an isis flag was found on that truck that he drove. police in houston, meantime are searching what is believed to be the driver's home there looking for any evidence and any possible links to a wider plot. but this is being investigated as a terrorist attack. president biden eventually spoke from camp david yesterday, saying the alleged driver had posted videos on social media

referencing isis. >> i know i can speak for all americans when i say our hearts are with the people of new orleans after the despicable attack that occurred in the early morning hours. to all the families of those who were killed, to all those who were injured, to all the people of new orleans, who are grieving today, i want you to know i grieve with you. our nation grieves with you. >> president-elect trump posted this: our hearts are with all the innocent victims and their loved ones, including the brave officers of the new orleans police department. the trump administration will fully support the city of new orleans as they investigate and recover too this act of pure evil. investigators are still trying to determine whether there are any links between this attack in new orleans and a cyber truck that exploded outside the trump hotel in las vegas yesterday. killing the driver. the sugar bowl, meantime is

scheduled to be -- scheduled to be played yesterday in new orleans has been rescheduled to this afternoon. back to you guys. >> lawrence: thanks, doug, we appreciate it. >> house speaker mike johnson joins us with the very latest. mr. speaker, welcome to you. thank you for joining us. we're hungry for any new information. have you been briefed recently? can you offer us anything new? >> yes. let me just say unequivocally that this act of pure evil as president trump said is exactly right. a vicious attack on innocent americans celebrating new years. i have confidence that our federal and state partners are working on that right now. i spoke late last night with my good friend, our governor jeff landry about his perspective on it as well as att attorney genel merrick garland he spoke to me about 11:00 p.m. he gave me the latest report there are many, many fbi agents on the ground dispatched in new orleans.

they are looking at every possible angle. we ever trusting that that partner s&p between federal and state will give us information we need. >> lawrence: mr. speaker, we are praying for your state. there are a lot in your state who want answers. what i continue to hear was this guy on the radar of our department of justice, fbi? i'm not asking you to reveal any classified information, but, did they know this guy? >> i don't know the answer to that yet, lawrence. it is certainly the question that we have been asking from the very beginning. it's an obvious one. let me say something else that's obvious. i don't know if enough attention is being paid to this. we all know for the last four years the biden administration has been completely derelict in its duty. the congressional republicans. we hear in the house and the senate have repeatedly asked the dhs under the biden administration about the correlation, the obvious concern about terrorism in the wide open border. the idea that dangerous people were coming here in droves and setting up potentially terrorist cells around the country. we have been ringing the alarms.

we impeached dhs secretary mayorkas in the house over that very issue and others related to it. this is a big concern. they told us lawrence for four years that the number one threat was so-called racially motivated extremism, it was nonsense. this is the thing that we were all concerned about. this is why we raised the alarms. this is why we passed h.r. 2 the strongest border security act ever passed by congress. and chuck schumer and the democrats in the senate would not put that through and make it into law. the biden administration has a lot to account for here and we see now in glaring view of everybody that this dereliction of duty has real consequences. it's a concern and it will be an ongoing concern for some time. >> griff: mr. speaker, are you confident -- do you have full confidence in the investigation now with the suspects still out there that they are trying to get that the new orleans and the folks in your home state are safety hour, particularly with a big bowl game about to be

played? >> i can tell you the unclassified answer to that question is an important one. so far ace understand it, as late as last night, the most recent reports that i have late last night about 11:00 p.m., they see no direct correlation to the threat to the sugar bowl, no obvious evidence that what happened less than -- a little over 24 hours ago would pose any threat to the game. i have to defer, obviously, to the people there on the ground and the investigators in charge because they know a lot more than i do here in washington. i was -- i will tell you i was at mar-a-lago yesterday with president trump, just a couple of hours after that explosion at his place in las vegas at the hotel. and he has concern, as we all do, and he is anxious to take office. we cannot wait. we are 18 days away from president trump being returned to the white house and us restoring real law and order in this country it will begin securing that border which is a big priority. >> lawrence: i think there is a lot of people in the country

that agree with that i just want to backtrack a little bit and talk about that briefing that you got. how can they say that there is no threat to the event if there are people still at large? are a they ruling that out right now. i know they arrested folks, brought them into custody and released them. are there people out there that are a threat or not? >> it's great question, lawrence. we have more questions than answers right now. of course, usually it takes about 48 hours for an investigation for everything to come together after an event of this scale. you know, i have from what i know right now, i have some confidence that there is a sufficient number of law enforcement and investigative officials involved that they are doing the best job that they can, is my understanding. the reports i got last night. but, obviously. we don't know the answers to all the questions yet. you know, go ahead. >> shannon: that's okay, mr. speaker, are you confident that authorities are together on the sharing of information in

the a.g. joined us of your state at the top of the 6:00 a.m. hour this morning. and she seemed to be airing some frustration. she said she is not getting any updates from federal authorities out of the investigation that is ongoing on the ground there in new orleans right now. are you confident that there is a solid flow of communication from all those that are involved at the top here? >> we're going to be demanding that accountability. liz murrill our attorney general is a trusted friend and she is a bulldog. she will get the answers and she will bring swift justice to everyone involved they need to be coordinating with the state officials. we will be exerting every pressure here that we can to make sure that happens. >> griff: mr. speaker, let me shift gears just a bit. you have tomorrow's vote for you as speaker what can you tell us how much confidence do you have that you will have the necessary votes to retain the gavel? we're going to get this done. i'm humbled and honored to have

president trump's endorsement for the roll as well as endorsement for leaders across the conservative spectrum and the republican party. all my colleagues that are standing with us. and we will get this done. look. the thing that we are talking about this morning are illustration that we live in very serious times. we cannot afford i had palace drama here. we have got to get the congress started, which begins tomorrow. and we have to get immediately to work. we have to certify the election of president donald j. trump on january 6th, on monday. we have many important things pressing on us right now. there is no time to waste. we have to stay unified. the american people gave us a mandate. you know, president trump got 77 million votes. we got almost 75 million for house republicans, the largest number ever. and they have sent us a message that they want us to begin fixing all of this, and we will and we are excited to do that. >> lawrence: mr. speaker, some of your members especially in the house freedom caucus have said they are not going to vote for you. have you talked with them? had private conversations? are they committed? have they reversed that

decision? because it's a numbers game, it's a numbers' game. the smallest margin in u.s. history. a margin of probably two votes during that only lose one or two. i think we will get it done. i have talked to every one of those friends and colleagues over the holidays. we will be talking about process reforms in the house. i think the research they're all going to vote is yes. we are shifting into a brand new paver dime. paradigm. a totally different situation we have dealt with the last 14 months since i have been speaker. we are excited for the america first agenda it begins on day one and begins tomorrow. >> griff: begins at noon tomorrow. thank you for joining us. more "fox & friends" coming up. ♪ saline nasal spray. spray goodbye. aaaaaaahhhhh! new mucinex 2-in-1 saline nasal spray with a gentle mist

>> fox news alert. las vegas cyber truck explosion is being investigated by a joint terrorism task force as authorities look for more clues and a potential link to the new orleans terror attack. >> both vehicles i'm being told new orleans was rented from turo and so was ours. we are absolutely investigating any connectivity to what happened in new orleans as well as other attacks occurred around the world. we are not ruling anything out. >> shannon: fox news tributer paul mauro joins us now. not ruling anything out? there is a lot to look at here. we are awaiting an update from the feds, leading the investigation still on the ground new orleans at this hour. you covered far too many events like this. what strikes you about what we have learned or not learned so far, paul? >> well the fact that the a.g. of louisiana says she is not getting updates and regular briefings there is a concern. what it argues that the press

conference we saw yesterday down in vegas might not have been an accident. it was relatively symbolic not one person speaking for the room talking to the media and the american people you need that. that was the distinction that we all saw between that press conference and the vegas press conference. it's not like we got all that much more information out of the vegas press conference. but what you had was single person leadership who took ownership of the event. yeah kicked it other people when he needed some special information. but one person was running it. i think the feds -- and this happened by the way in the boston marathon bombing as well took a couple days for the get legs but ultimately the boston pd. someone in new orleans has to get their arms around this and be the person speaks to the american people. we don't have that yet and would be reassuring. >> shannon: the governor of the state give update to the

american people what we know so far. that being said, just about hours away now from the big bowl game. the sugar bowl will be happening. it was postponed but there tonight in that city, paul. what do you think of that? the a.g. was suggesting let's maybe wait until friday. what say you? >> looks like that horse has left the barn, right? they put out they were going to do it today. i have no doubt that they will be able to get this done. the governor very quickly activated 100 military officers i assume from the national guard. to be able to do it. they may even bring in more. i think it will be highly secure. i actually do support the idea of running the game and not letting our lives get too disrupted by things like this. but i do think at the federal level the fbi or a spokesperson who can be the point person has to come out and clarify are there more unapprehendeds out there or are there not? and if there are.

any information or updates? it's difficult. it's a continuim. you don't want to let the bad guys know how close you are but on the other hand you want to reassure the public. that's a judgment call. the problem here is you don't get the sense that that judgment call is really being considered at a mature or executive level because nobody is talking to us from the federal government. when the a.g. at the state is saying that she is not getting updates, it's concerning. >> shannon: just heart breaks as we continue to watch this video come in. new orleans, so many people there to celebrate the new year, looking forward to the sugar bowl, and how quickly this scene became, this an active crime scene, law enforcement filling the streets there paul, always appreciate your time. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> shannon: all right. the new orleans terrorist suspect reportedly pledging his allegiance to isis. former secretary of state mike pompeo digs deeper into the resurgence of the terror group. he is here next.
