there has to be a mutual response here. new orleans has a lot of resources but not enough resources. the f.b.i. has a lot of resources, a.t.f. because of the presence of i.e.d.s will be involved. u.s. secret service is some of the best digital forensic experts in the law enforcement world and shoulder to charlet. all these video cameras sounds like an easy thing to do to get video. they all use different drivers and takes different software. the secret service can put people together. we went through frame by frame thousands of hours of video and now you can do it with a.i. that whole team has to be working together to do what the governor says, keep the city safe while they are investigating. >> rich: thank you for joining us this morning. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> it may be this is a lone

wolf. we don't have final confirmation on that. as a community of law enforcement we'll continue to be looking for other actors if there are. >> we're trusting that partnership between the federal and state authorities will bring us the answers we need. >> the only way to protect people from evil is to crush it. >> molly: a night of celebration turns into terrorism and tragedy. the search for answers is on into the attack that killed at least 15 people and injured dozens of others in new orleans on new year's eve. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom." >> rich: law enforcement are looking into the ramming on bourbon street. the suspect was hell bent as killing as many people as possible. >> molly: federal agents are searching the suspect's home in houston. >> rich: a tesla cyber truck

exploded at a trump hotel in las vegas. the question here whether the blast is connected to the attack in new orleans. >> molly: we have fox team coverage. retired inspector paul mauro is standing by. first ted williams is live in new orleans with the latest. ted, thank you so much for being here with us and thank you for being on the ground there. what are you learning from being where you are and seeing this investigation firsthand? >> hi molly and rich. i can tell you the things that we're learning right now is i had an interview with the chief of police this morning. i don't know -- i don't think they're sure whether this person acted as a lone wolf or he had accomplices. they did, in fact, have individuals that they believe was in their sight, meaning law enforcement. they interviewed those

individuals and have let those individuals go. so the search is still on as to whether there is an actual manhunt going on here in the new orleans area at this time. >> molly: ted, when you talk about individuals let go, they also talked about a range of suspects in the course of this investigation. do you feel like they are leaning one way or the other? the range of suspects, could it mean people that may have offered something to the subject in this case unwittingly that he ultimately used as part of the attack? >> you know, molly, it could be any of the above that you just mentioned. or it could be individuals who came in contact with the suspect and quite naturally they want to talk to those individuals. it also could be individuals who are actually involved. we do know that this individual had isis leanings and when you

look at that, that means president biden spoke about it, he was isis inspired. you could be isis directed. we believe that this man was actually isis inspired. >> rich: how difficult that you have the investigation in new orleans and now in houston and across a couple of states and maybe more? >> law enforcement has to be able to walk and chew gum. the mere fact that he is from the houston area, you would expect, as they are, that they are conducting an investigation there in the the houston, texas area to try to determine what involvement others may have had with him. he had to, rich, come down from texas and would have come down probably the i-ten corridor

coming into new orleans. so you have ten meter readers there from cameras that would have picked him up and it would show if any other individuals were actually with him at the time that he came into new orleans. >> rich: ted williams former d.c. homicide detective. thank you for joining us. >> my pleasure. >> the terrorist is going to be hell bent no matter what to create carnage and to destroy. but we as a city and as a law enforcement community have already proven over time that we can handle and manage these large crowds. we're using heavier equipment. not just patrol cars. we'll use heavier equipment to harden the targets. >> molly: deadly terror attack raising questions about gaps in security in new orleans. the city is taking no chances as it ramps up protective measures

ahead of the sugar bowl today. it comes after the state of louisiana delayed the game from yesterday. a little postponement. let's bring in paul mauro, retired nypd inspector. thank you for being with us today and yesterday as well. i want to get your thoughts. the sugar bowl about to get underway. they say there could be suspects. what is your feeling right now? >> i agree with the governor's call to run the event. there was some talk they were going to postpone it longer. you have to live your lives. he is scrambling, members of the national guard. he will put out 100 extra bodies, military police. wouldn't be surprised if there were more. shipping in deputies from around louisiana. people that live there and across louisiana their home state has been attacked. i'm hearing they are all stepping up and want to help secure the event. important event for the city and state. so frankly if i lived near that area i would go because you have to do this kind of thing.

that said, what new orleans definitely needs to do i would argue is a couple of things. look very hard at the protocols that were defeated here just as nypd learned a lot the hard way post 9/11. we should be sharing all that stuff. you would have hoped it was going on before the event learning how to secure episcopal will i in regard to let's say a vehicle-born attack like this. we've been seeing them around the world. they have to get the communications together a little bit. the press conference is not what you want to get. one person talking to us and one person updating us. i feel like at this point even if the information is thin, we've learned with these kinds of events getting somebody to say the immediate danger has subsided. we've interviewed people and now into the digital phase of this and looking for other people but it takes time. we need to hear that kind of thing. >> molly: they were talking about a range of suspects and

talking about potential ieds in the surrounding area. we're 24 hours later and they are looking at the suspect's home and getting into this. do you get the sense when we talk about other suspects it could be people who were just had interactions with this man, supplied him with something not knowing what his plans were or in the case of brothers after the boston marathon they had friends take some evidence and leave with it. is there a concern about that in the aftermath of the attack, like minded individuals? >> what happens, the boston event. people who couldn't believe that the man would have done what he did. they feel like they were protecting him. they got arrested themselves. you could have people just in denial about what occurred here. remember, there were two device, this is hard information. two devices found off the set away from bourbon street where he did what he did. as a result one of two things

has to be true. either jabbar planted those two and went to do what he did. which means he expected to get away and had them stashed for use later if and when he needed them. we've seen that tactic before. or he had somebody with him, as you are saying, who did that while he was doing the bourbon street attack. if it's the latter, they would be further down range on it already. i'm starting to lean towards the former. that's speculation. now the whole thing seems to have shifted to houston they're more in cleanup mode and did anybody know about it beforehand, somebody from a local mosque that he attended or somebody just in the neighborhood, relative. you know they are going very hard at his digital footprint. phones, computer, financials. all that kind of stuff as well as doing the interviews. >> molly: i wonder about those devices planted if they were meant to hit the first responders coming into that event. >> as a diversion, yeah. >> molly: thanks for being here.

>> rich: just getting word out of the white house right now that at 12:15 p.m. president biden is scheduled to convene members of his homeland security team in the situation room and receive an update on the investigation into the terrorist attack in new orleans. this is something that will not be any cameras for. the president meeting behind closed doors with his homeland security team. at least 15 people are dead from the attack in new orleans yesterday. family and friends of the victims are mourning their deaths. some are posting on social media sharing stories about their lost loved ones. cb cotton is live with the latest. >> rich, we're learning more details about some of the 15 people whose lives were tragically cut short mere hours into the new year. mississippi teen's mother posted on facebook about her death. she was 18 and dreamed of becoming a nurse. her friend told the a.p. he saw her flung into the air by the

pickup truck describing the scene as the closest thing to a war zone that i have ever seen. reggie hunter's cousin posted on social media that hunter died. the cousin said hunter had just left work when the attack happened. martin bench was a louisiana high school football star and played at princeton. he died late yesterday morning at the hospital. nichole perez was a single mother to her 4-year-old son and would walk to the deli job every morning and just was promoted to manager. matthew loved creating memorable experiences as an audio visual technician for the caesar superdome according to a fundraising page. archbishop shaw high school said hubert was another victim. multiple family members initially posted on social media that he was missing. according to local reports, victim was a 2024 graduate from a high school in baton rouge

that will hold a vigil for her and another one its students critically injured. the governor said he is hoping to reach out to some of the parents of the victims. >> each of those is a reminder of the terrorism that exists and the evil out there that they want to inflict on america. >> new orleans coroner says it will take several days to perform all the autopsies and inform the next of kin, rich. >> rich: cb cotton live for us. thank you. >> the congressional republicans, we hear in the house and senate have repeatedly asked the dhs under the biden administration about the correlation and obvious concern about terrorism and the wide open border. dangerous people were coming in droves and setting up potentially terrorist cells around the country, we have been ringing the alarm. >> molly: congressional leaders

>> it was very stressful, hectic. i also felt like i recorded it just for the world to know what was going on. this is crazy. i need proof and let my family know i was alive and then i also just wanted them to know this is insane. >> rich: alex, he witnessed yesterday's brutal attack in new orleans. captured a video we're about to show you. a warning. some may find this image disturbing. some bystanders rushed into action to help the victims. others were shocked by what they saw including puddles of blood in the street. alex calls the seen haunting.

>> 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. the wrist band got us back in but i wanted to go back in and just didn't feel like being on the street anymore. that saved me and i also still feel guilty that i couldn't help or that people didn't make it out, you know. on one hand you are happy, on the other hand you are -- you feel terrible inside. >> rich: incredible. people are asking police to avoid bourbon street that remains an active crime scene. >> molly: the f.b.i. is briefing members of the house homeland security committee and louisiana lawmakers as well as the demand for answers grows. aishah hasnie is live on capitol hill today following this for us. >> good morning. that call is happening now. there are members of the senate homeland security committee as

well as the house homeland security committee with the call of the f.b.i. as well as the louisiana delegations from both chambers. there are a ton of questions. i've been talking with some members this morning and they have a lot to ask of the f.b.i. we're told they will be briefed by the assistant director of the f.b.i.'s counter terrorism division, that is david scott. and members want to know foremost on the ground more about the massive security concerns particularly about the breakers that weren't functioning at the time and allowed the suspect to drive onto the sidewalk and bourbon street. more widely speaking here, they want to know if it is connected to isis, are there other people involved? is there a risk for more attacks? the number one question, though, they are hoping to get answered is did the f.b.i. know anything about this guy? were they tracking him? or did me miss this completely?

>> we all know for the last four years the biden administration has been completely derelict in its duty. congressional republicans, here in the house and senate have repeatedly asked dhs under the biden administration about the correlation and obvious concern about terrorism and the wide open border. the idea dangerous people were coming in droves and sitting up potential terrorist cells around the country. we've been ringing the alarms. >> this is a transitional time for capitol hill, molly. so it is -- lawmakers are trying to get work done at the same time as electing a new house speaker as early as tomorrow. over in the senate, though, senator josh hawley is calling on alejandro mayorkas, homeland security secretary, and the f.b.i. director chris wray to come to capitol hill. >> molly: senator kennedy demanding answers and truth for

the american people. interesting days ahead. >> rich: the f.b.i. is facing criticism over its response to the terror attack in new orleans. t the -- this is the latest example of the f.b.i.'s habitual woke incoherence. andy is here now. thank you for joining us. why not call it terrorism right off the bat? they found an isis flag in the guy's car. >> rich, that makes too much sense. you will never make it at the f.b.i. look, this has been going on sadly for decades now. basically they've drawn this line in order to keep ideology in a black box. so unless they instantly come up with information that ties somebody operationally to a known notorious terrorist organization, they take the position it is not terrorism.

and the reason for that is they don't want to be perceived as drawing a link between islamic doctrine and violence. so i think they go out of their way to try to resist that conclusion, even though in this case you can see it was a common sense conclusion. >> rich: don't you think part of this could be overly cautious government speak? whether it's a terrorist attack or briefing on the most mundane thing to the press, government spokes people will talk forever and say absolutely nothing. >> well, there is a lot of that that goes on but very selective where they take that approach. for example, for the first two years or so of the first trump administration, they actually went out of their way to suggest that the sitting president of the united states was a clandestine agent of russia even though they didn't have any evidence for that proposition. here you have a situation where

they have a mountain of evidence that is staring them right in their faces and they basically go out of their way to say that what is not. >> it was only a few months ago that christopher wray testified in front of congress and talked about the extremist threat to the united states. do you think there is a disconnect between the f.b.i. director and what's happening in some of these field offices? >> you know, no. i think, rich, the thing is the f.b.i. is the thing that's in front of us because they are the law enforcement agency that immediately responds to this. but they are not -- they didn't come up with this on their own. they have masters in washington and they are, you know, working in a way that's consonant with the way they've been instructed. so it is not wray and it is not the agents in the field office. they are down the road from where this approach comes. it comes from the top of government. >> rich: you look at what's the

threat environment coming into the next administration. if this is a lone wolf or this is somebody who was radicalized, that is something this administration has dealt with. the trump administration has dealt with lone wolf attacks with radicalized people going back to administrations before then. what is the f.b.i. facing now going into the next four years? >> well, i agree with what speaker johnson said. you are dealing with a very degraded border security situation in which the incumbent administration has irresponsibly let really millions of people into the country who haven't been vetted. that can only contribute to instability and to the extent that we have a problem with jihadist ideology and that kind of radicalization. that can only make the problem much worse. so i think there is a lot of things where the f.b.i. gets

criticism where, you know, it is probably not merited. for example, in this country we don't have administrative detention. just because you suspect somebody you can't pick them up and detain them. you actually have to have criminal charges on them. so i'm sympathetic to them not being able to be on top of every single threat but you don't have to be reckless and let millions of people you haven't vetted into the country including many from countries that are hostile to the united states. >> rich: terror watch list, those who cross the border are up over the southern border. in this case, though, we're talking about an american citizen here. andy mccarthy, thank you for joining us, much appreciated. >> thank you. >> molly: the f.b.i. appeared to have finished searching the houston home of the new orleans terror suspect as we learn more about his plot to carry out the massacre, a cyber truck explodes outside of trump's las vegas hotel. new details on that investigation, which has now

expanded into colorado. that's next. >> the new orleans and in las vegas, there are joint terrorism task forces made up of many, many different local, state and other federal agents. in both of these cases that may -- they may end up coming back to the same culprits. ...and we designed it to help make aches and pains... a thing of the past. because our most advanced, infinitely adaptable tempur® material... ...eases your pressure points... ...inch by inch and molecule by molecule, in a way that no other mattress can. all night. every night. save up to $500 now on select adjustable mattress sets, and discover the award-winning tempur-pedic. learn more at tempurpedic.com.

>> molly: the f.b.i. and a.t.f. are conducting a search at a home in colorado springs. they say this is in connection to the cyber truck explosion outside of the trump international hotel in las vegas yesterday. that blast happening just seconds after that truck pulled up in front of the hotel's entrance. officials found gasoline and camping fuel containers and fire work mortars in the bed of the truck. the suspect he rented the car using the turo app used by the suspect in the new orleans terror attack that happened a

few hours prior. >> it is very suspicious and there is more concerns. at the very least it raises concerns about the use of this app and whether it is a means of coordinating or carrying out terrorist kinds of events. i think that there are a lot of questions we all have and that we all need answered and sooner rather than later. >> molly: the vegas explosion killed the cyber truck driver and injured seven others. >> rich: law enforcement is scouring for more information on the man police say plowed a truck into a crowd in new orleans killing at least 15 people. david spunt has more from washington. >> hundreds of miles away from new orleans in washington the work continues the f.b.i. and department of homeland security to figure out more about this suspect and update president biden and keeping the american

people in the loop as much as possible. the f.b.i. came out on paper yesterday and use the word terrorism. because we now know the 42-year-old suspected terrorist made his allegiance to isis known just hours or days before the shooting. watch. >> f.b.i. also reported to me that mere hours before the attack, he posted videos on social media indicating that he is inspired by isis, expressing a desire to kill, a desire to kill. the isis flag was found in his vehicle that he rented to conduct this attack. >> the suspect was born in the united states and served as an army veteran, in the army and was a veteran. the f.b.i., lead agency in this probe, is going through social media and any other accounts associated with the suspect. a fluid investigation, things continue to thank rapidly. yesterday law enforcement sources said they saw three men and a woman and looked to them

like they may have been touching possible explosive devices. it now appears they were bystanders, members of law enforcement are keeping them close in case something changes. as for any explosive devices they have been rendered safe by authorities in the french quarter area. there will continue to be a heightened law enforcement presence on the ground in new orleans in the days, weeks and months ahead, rich. >> rich: david, thank you. >> molly: the f.b.i. confirming it has searched a property in houston part of its investigation into the new orleans terror attack. the bureau saying quote throughout this operation we have deployed special liesed teams, crisis negotiators, swat teams, special agent bomb technicians, tactical operations center, emergency response team and a group of counter terrorism investigators. we bring in jason, thank you for being here with us today. he is a former f.b.i. agent and hostage negotiator. jason, you've worked all over the country.

in this case you see the long list of teams involved. we know the property is searched, the suspect's home. i'm concerned when you have a suspect like this with booby-traps. with the long list of agencies involved they thought the same things. your thoughts on the teams involved here. >> that's exact will i right, molly. the field office in houston has enhanced capabilities being a larger field office. so the swat team would go in first and make sure everything was clear along with the tactical bomb technicians specially trained and cross trained as bomb technician and swat agent. they'll go in along with partners at the harris county sheriff's office and houston police and go and make sure everything is safe first and hallway and door by door and step-by-step. they use other means to make sure things are clear. i don't get too much of the tactics away. they want to make sure before human feet step on the floors that it is safe to do so. they clear the way for the

counter terrorism or jttf agents and task force officers to go in there and take a look. evidence response team as well. all that is part of the local field office there. they are going in looking for clues, who else may have been there and want to see where these facts lead them. generally they go in, they freeze everything, they take photographs, they come back out and then they start the search. so it looks like they were there all night. houston f.b.i. office just posting a tweet to x about two hours ago saying they just concluded. that was a long search overnight. evidence of the tedious and meticulous effort they put in to make sure everyone is safe. >> molly: they are looking into a key weapon clearly used in this case, the ramming. the truck ramming, this truck. a statement from the texas lieutenant governor dan patrick about that truck. we've been working with law enforcement and houston mayor on this issue.

the new orleans terror suspect is living in the houston area and rented the truck on 12 bsh 30 and driving the rented truck in houston before heading to new orleans. sources about this truck that fox news channel has it was spotted in eagle pass, texas and plate readers and patterns that may be suspicious from human smuggling. given what the lieutenant governor talked about the truck being rented by the suspect on 12-30 what does it tell us potentially about this truck's history. >> a need that needs to be looked into and why the f.b.i.'s office in meco city will come in. they have contacts to help on the other side of the border and then the san antonio office also the resident agency there will be able to go down and work with the border patrol folks and immigration and customs people to see if the truck has been seen everywhere.

it has been an security cameras before. it could be a rental truck and could be the person is not related to it at all. it is just something they have to lead and -- a lead they have to cover and vet to make sure it is not related in any way. >> molly: one of the many things investigators will be combing over. thank you for your insides. we greatly appreciate it. rich. >> rich: attack in new orleans reigniting concerns about terrorism in the united states. what it means for the incoming trump administration. plus mike johnson is looking to unite republicans ahead of tomorrow's speaker vote. why just a few defectors could derail his chances. nce starting the farmer's dog, bogart has lost so much weight. and he has so much more energy. he's like a puppy again. ♪ (banjo playing) ♪ c,mon bo! this is a before picture of bogart. such a big boy. pre-portioned packs makes it really easy to keep him lean and healthy.

>> molly: mike johnson attempting to whip votes ahead of tomorrow's house speaker

election. a few republican defections are threatening to keep his bid off away from that gavel. senior congressional correspondent chad pergram is live on capitol hill with the excitement on all of it. good morning. >> good morning. it is unclear if house speaker mike johnson can wrap up the speaker vote quickly anywhere from 12 to 17 republicans have reservations about johnson and he can only lose one gop vote. it is about the math and johnson knows that. >> it's a numbers game. we have the smallest margin in u.s. history, a margin of two votes tomorrow during that. can only afford to lose one or two. i think we'll get it done. we have the white house, the senate and the house. totally different situation than we dealt with over the last 14 months since i've been speaker. we are excited to deliver on the america first agenda. >> the house cannot swear in members, debate bills or certify the presidential election without a speaker.

kentucky republican thomas massie opposes johnson. victoria spartz believes he failed to keep promises on slashing the debt aened government funding bills. >> speaker johnson is not able to govern, not actually willing to commit to do his constitutional duty. i was asking him to do anything beyond what the constitution asks. we are a titanic on a crash course with an iceberg. if he is not willing to do it he is not worth being a speaker. >> it could paralyze the house. it took five days and 15 rounds to elect former house speaker kevin mccarthy in 2023. that was the longest speaker election since the civil war. this fight underscores gop schisms amid a narrow majority. >> molly: chad pergram. political drama overshaded with everything serious going on. greatly appreciate it.

chad pergram, thank you from capitol hill. >> isis flag was located on the trailer hitch of the vehicle and f.b.i. is working to determine the subject's potential association and affiliations with this terrorist organization. we're aggressively running down every lead including those of his known associates. that's why we need the public's help. >> rich: it is raising new concerns of the threat of islamic terrorism. the subject's brother that jabbar was radicalized online. let's bring in michael allen, thank you for joining us this morning. is this radicalization online the most significant terror threat facing the country? >> it is right up there along with the opening in our southern border. radicalization online increasingly has become a bigger problem as the united states has successfully prosecuted the war on terror overseas.

we keep our boot on their throat which prevents them from externally planning to come after us but what that has left an opening for is people that have maybe some mental issues or subscription to fundamentalism in the islamic fate and we need to worry about that. there is so much online. tap into online isis propaganda and that's one of the biggest threats we face. >> rich: what remains of isis? >> still a viable organization overseas. especially as we see syria begin to -- it has detour orriateed as we begin to see them try to reestablish governments. the french over the weekend trying to hit isis, we tried to hit them and did a couple of weeks back. we have to stay active. i think president trump knows this, of course. he is the one that took off the obama-era self-imposed restrictions about rules of engagement in his first term and helped win the battle against

isis at that time. he will have to do more of the same here. he will make big decisions soon on our counter terrorism posture in the middle east. this is a reminder as we talk about china, ukraine, everything going on and here we are again with terrorism raising its head again. >> rich: in term one president trump had put on the table threatened to pull american troops out of syria. should that be off the table now? >> i think the bureaucracy, military, c.i.a. needs to articulate to the incoming president why they need ground troops. it is one thing. trump probably already agreed we need to have an air campaign that continues against isis. but i think they will have to be very tight in their argumentation, whatever it is, that we need the on the ground forces. it may be that's the easiest way to collect intelligence, the easiest way for us to meet with agents inside of syria and elsewhere, and if that's the case, then they need to be able to put that to the new president

to explain why we need boots on the ground. >> rich: those suspects identified thus far in both the explosion in las vegas and what happened in new orleans are both american citizens. you had mentioned the threat coming over the southern border. those who have been on the terror watch list who have come into the united states. how does the government deal with that? >> first we already know that president trump is going to have a mass deportation plan and he should. but i think we ought to give emphasis, probably priority to anyone that we know of that perhaps slipped in through the border. this is going to require enormous coordination between external national security agency, f.b.i., internally to try to identify who these people are and give it top priority to capture anyone who might fit that risk profile. >> rich: thank you for joining us. molly. >> molly: the terror attack in new orleans putting the nation's capital on edge with several

>> molly: a major new information if new orleans. fox news confirms the f.b.i. no longer believes that there are other suspects involved in the new orleans terror attack. they're still asking people to send in tips on jabbar, meantime washington is on alert with several high-profile events this month. the nation's capitol is tightening security for president carter's funeral next week as well as president trump's inauguration. a retired special agent for the secret service is here. thank you for joining us this morning. you have had an opportunity to react first to this news that it appears the suspect in this horrific vehicle ramming acted alone. your thoughts. >> yes, he probably did.

usually when there are others involved, there is a trail of bread crumbs that would most likely lead back to those individuals. >> molly: initially the f.b.i. special agent in charge said they were looking at a range of suspect that they initially did not believe he was solely responsible. now they've conducted a great many interviews and combed his residence, that sort of thing. why the dramatic shift? what do you think led them to believe there could be other suspects involved and now they have so much more information? >> well, i think for starters when an event like this happens, a lot of people think, especially law enforcement, want to cover all their bases and make sure they have everybody in the picture. there could be planners, people that handle logistics. you know, they mainly picked him to do one thing, to do the event. so they are always backtracking and trying to find any leads or anything that ties into that.

in this case, though, with this person being a former army military personnel, i tend to think he was very independent. he knew what he had to do for himself and knew how to do it. so therefore -- i also think, too, that someone like this doesn't want to involve more people because then there is a chance of leaks. >> molly: a great point. now we have the sugar bowl slated to happen tonight. can people heading to that event feel a little bit of a sense of relief there were not a great many suspect or a manhunt underway right now? >> i believe so. what you have to remember is that when an event happens like this, they solely pick one event because they know they will only get one chance. that chance fails, then just like now, everything is heightened. so therefore it reduces their chance to be successful on a second and third event.

if it's second and third event does happen it is most likely going to happen within minutes or hours right after the first one. so the fact that the state, local and now the federal have a chance to rebuild and make a more robust security perimeter for tonight's football game, i think that diminishes the chances of another perpetrator trying to, you know, make a large event tragic. >> molly: we are concerned about copycats in the coming weeks and months ahead. this isn't the thing. the presidential inauguration around the corner. do you have concerns about that and who can law enforcement prevent a similar attack? >> well, i can tell you from experience i've been to three inaugurations myself, bush two and the second obama. the inauguration is repeated and

happens every four years. an s.o.p. we have and doing it for how many years, many, many years. the only thing they'll do is tweak and adjust according to current events as such. now with the truck. but i can tell you from my experience we already have those areas covered. if anything, they will just be more vigilant and observant for our perimeters because basically it's your perimeter that >> molly: we greatly appreciate it. i know a lot of people will be there for the inauguration, beautiful day for america. coming up julie banderas is in for harris, "the faulkner focus" is coming up next. thank you for joining us. >> julie: we begin with a fox news alert. fox just
