bring in ted williams. defense attorney and fox news contributor to weigh in here. the f.b.i. confirm for the first time that surveillance video was found of jabbar planting those devices. it was misinformation about the three men and woman taking a look at some box that had some pipe bombs in it. that was not true. now we know there was video of the suspect planting the devices and he was a lone wolf. >> yeah, and you just said the latter that this man, jabbar, was a lone wolf. they haven't been able to tie anyone else with him. that was one of the most important things that came out of this press conference, julie. >> julie: that's all the time we have. "outnumbered." we'll pick up the coverage at noon. "outnumbered" starts right now. thanks for watching fox. continuing coverage right now.

>> children don't act chilling new details about the suspect in the new orleans attack. they no longer believe other people are involved. authorities recover two functional iep is in the area of the attacks -- didn't like coolers. the fbi do not believe there is a link between the new orleans attack and the cybertruck explosion. they are investigating whether that incident is also an act of terror. this is "outnumbered." joining me, dagen mcdowell. the anchor and host of america dream home and the hudson institute senior fellow. attorney founder of ops disk.org and retired nypd

inspector. the terror suspect declared his support for isis on videos posted online just hours before the deadly rampage. >> he posted several videos to an online platform, proclaiming his support for isis. there were five videos posted on jabbar's facebook account time-stamp at 1:29 a.m. in the last that 3:02:00 a.m. in the first video, he planned to harm family and friends but was concerned the news headlines would not focus on the war between the believers and the disbelievers. additionally, he stated he joined isis before this summer. he provided a will. >> burke taylor is in houston with the latest.

>> we just got a rare look inside the trailer where he was living and we got to walk around. you can see a fence right outside that trailer, completely ripped off from where the fbi and s.w.a.t. teams rated. i want to get to the video to show you. a rare look inside since no one was living there. neighbors that he lived there about a year. his mom lived here. a neighbor told us that the ford pickup truck, he sought parked out here for one night. i managed to peek through the window were a mess could be seen inside, furniture scattered around. we saw chickens and sheep wandering around the property. the neighbor said this is a close-knit muslim community. there is a mosque about a minute away. he knew he practiced his face and prayed regularly but he was shocked to see this news. didn't see him as radicalized.

he is a u.s. citizen from texas, served in the army between 2007 and 2015 as a human resource and i.t. specialist. he stayed in until 2020 before he was honorably discharged. "the new york post" was able to talk to his brother. he told him that he converted to islam when he was younger. he blames radicalization. authorities that he was inspired by isis, expressed a desire to kill and found an isis flag in the car. he posted a youtube video in 2020, pitching himself as a real estate agent, claiming his military background would help. >> the

being in debt in this real estate career, not working out, the neighbor said he had two daughters and a young son he saw playing around and riding his bike here. he lived here for about a year. >> the suspect in this case, brooke is there. >> they are really clarifying key things. the suspect in this case and the vehicle lambing attack acted alone. they don't believe there was a massive manhunt now underway that this individual acted alone. very important, surveillance shows jabbar placing items around the french quarter.

the items were ieds. he placed them. there was not another suspect that placed of these. there were folks enjoying the evening that stopped to look at some of these things, that spotted the cooler but then continued on their way. the fbi would still like to speak with people in the french quarter in those late night and early morning hours. anyone who interacted with him and who may have seen something that could be helpful to their investigation. paul, you have been with us throughout the day yesterday and today. some clarity as to where this investigation is heading. >> this is the stuff we speculated about. it didn't seem like the information relative to accomplices was very hard and that has gone away completely. they seem to have gotten their act together regarding the messaging. this was a better press conference. you had the governor they are

leaving at and we got information from the terrorism bureau of the fbi. what is salient is as of now, we are not looking for active accomplices. they have the two devices, the genesis of the two devices solidly. the other thing is they are going to be doing heavy digital, going through those devices. they are into those devices. before long we will get an idea of how he was radicalized. >> ted williams is on the ground. we are grateful he was able to get there and bring us insight. perhaps this is a bit of a relief. the sugar bowl goes on today and we know there is not accomplices out there on the loose, which may have been a concern for folks in the area. >> a major relief that there are not accomplices and that this guy acted alone.

i can tell you, the city is beginning to open up. they cannot live in fear. one of the things i was happy the government was able to say because we have been wondering about it, he said this was an act of terrorism and i was happy that came out. people in the city were wondering what was going on and this press conference clarified a great deal of what was going on. i have said an investigation is like a puzzle. you are trying to put it together. what you found here was the fbi, the federal agents, state and local agents worked together to put this puzzle together to be able to tell us, the public now, that this man acted alone, that he was a lone wolf.

>> what is your feeling on bourbon street reopening so swiftly and that area getting back to normal so quickly after this attack? >> people have to pick up their lives. sadly, 14 souls lost their life here in this area but the mayor and the city, they need to reopen the city at this time. they have done all of the work they needed to do and i think it is the right and proper dec decision. >> the other thing i wonder about, it was shocking a vehicle could get onto bourbon street, on a high-profile night,'s much less ever. is this something the community will wrangle with? >> they will wrangle with that, no doubt about it.

when you look at a major metropolitan city like this and canal street and bourbon street, these are major outlets in the city. it is right and proper that they are open. what we found was these bodegas or not. these barriers were not in place and that is something they are going to have to look at. this killer was able to go around these barriers and up on the sidewalk only because they had patrol cars parked there. that should have never happened. that was a mistake. they have admitted it was a mistake and they are going to have to do something about it in the future. >> thank you for getting there, thank you for your perspective. we appreciate it. >> we have a little bit of clarity now as to what happened here and who is responsible. >> what was important was to

have a forceful presence and voice from the fbi finally after initially the special agent in charge, roughly three hours after the attack yesterday and correct me if i am wrong, the woman got out there and said this is not a terrorist attack even though there was an isis flag in the truck. it was important to hear from christopher wray, justice posture in the way he spoke, not just to the american people, anybody in new orleans or attending the sugar bowl, but the families of the victim and the survivors of this attack about, we are on it, here is what we know and we will keep you up-to-date on anything we find out, no longer are there suspects involved. his presence and the way he spoke to the american people was of critical importance. in terms of the digital

footprint, there are the videos, five on the terrorist's facebook page and just a couple of hours. three phones were recovered, two laptops were recovered. in this day and age, following a digital footprint have become more difficult because communication, apps, and device operating systems are more heavily encrypted than they were a couple years ago. one thing we haven't talked about much, this terrorist, this dead murderer worked for deloitte. prior than that, ernst and young and accenture and he was still employed at deloitte. he started in 2021. there is a corporate footprint that the fbi and all the other investigators will have to deal with, which makes it easier for

them. >> of the videos he made on the way to the attack scene are almost a hallmark we have seen in prior attacks. >> the digital footprint is really important because that is where he was telegraphing his radicalization. this is where we see though he may not have been directed by isis, clearly he was inspired by isis, just this tactic, using a vehicle to maximize death, and then stepping out and beginning to shoot innocent bystanders to have death by cop. we saw that in spain, france, germany, england, this is quintessentially and isis tactic. >> if investigators missed red flags, that is something investigators will have to get to the bottom of. >> it is becoming more and more

difficult to crack in cases like this. that is why messaging apps like whatsapp have become so popular because of the encryption. this steel ballard's were removed to be repaired because the super bowl is coming up. normally they would be in place around bourbon street but that is why they put the vehicles in place and he was able to go around and go onto the sidewalk and we have learned from this press conference he was on the ground and doing surveillance. the other issue is the portrait of this individual, which has come to light. "the wall street journal" talks about not just the two divorces but his financial troubles, his emotional vulnerability. you have to consider that. if someone is going to be open to being radicalized or inspired by isis, we will find that out in the days to come, but he put in a document he was about

$27,000 behind in his home payment, bidding on credit card debt, there were restraining orders between him and his second wife. those are in court filings. when details come up, you have to look at the whole picture and it is disturbing. >> coming up, new details on the investigation into the cybertruck that exploded outside of trump hotel in las vegas. a live report next. indigestion iberogast bloating iberogast thanks to a unique combination of herbs, iberogast helps relieve six digestive symptoms to help you feel better. six digestive symptoms. the power of nature. iberogast.

>> investigators are investigating any possible link between the cybertruck explosion outside the trump las vegas hotel and the deadly attack in

new orleans. investigators say there is no definitive link but we are getting new reports on the suspect identity. officials are investigating a home in colorado and fox's learning the vehicles used in both incidents were rented from the same online cap. jeff paul is live in las vegas with the latest. >> we are learning more about the driver involved in the cybertruck explosion that happened in las vegas. according to the associated press, they are identifying him as matthew. he was an active duty special forces operations sergeant and most recently a green beret who was on leave from germany at the time of the incident. we know the car involved, it was rented from colorado.

the fbi confirmed they are searching a home in colorado springs. they say it is related to the truck explosion in las vegas. that's happening as they try to figure out a motive and if there are ties to terrorism. >> everybody is interested in the word and seeing if they can say this with the terroris attack. that is our goal. we have a ton of researchers dedicated to this and we are doing it. because the tesla cybertruck was rented. the driver rented the truck and colorado where he drove to las vegas and pulled up to the valet area of the trump hotel. seconds later, witnesses saw smoke and there was a flash and an explosion. investigators discovered

gasoline canisters. seven innocent bystanders were hurt. the local sheriff pierces the explosion could have been more devastating. >> the fact it was a cybertruck limited the damage that occurred because it had most of the blast go up through the truck and out. if you look on the video, you will see the front glass doors at the trump hotel or not even broken by the blast. >> investigators haven't officially released the name of the suspect but they say he acted alone. we are standing by for any update to learn more about what happened here. >> want to bring you in on this, the cybertruck, the makeup of it preventing severe injuries and death, but the fact that an active duty special forces agent

is responsible for this. >> i am going for a little bit of water on the idea of these two things are linked. it is a cinematic line to say i don't believe in coincidences. you know there are coincidences and investigations all the time. they disappear once you get to the truth and you forget about them but there are always false leaves that look good. it is rare to have two terrorist events on the same day. i can't remember two events that were not coordinated on the same day. you have to go back to 9/11. i am not saying the same motive in this. the last one seems to be -- the

car directed the blast upwards. this is a vehicle borne ied, which is just a car bomb. we have seen them. they tried to do them and times square. you could have some terrorist expertise behind it, he accessed some tradecraft online but it feels to me, as the director of the terrorism division said, i am not seeing the link and i need to see more than we have now to say they are linked. >> a good many differences between the events. >> typically when it is an act of terrorism like we saw with the man affiliating himself with isis, part of what the attempt is is to make the political statement. you want the symbolism be

obvious. it is not obvious, it is obscured and the investigato in, we are left to assume it is not connected. >> in the las vegas case, we thought a tesla with trump's name on it, potentially political motive. it might be different from the intentions of this man inspired by isis on bourbon street. >> this goes back to the digital footprint. the other thing is, elon musk was one of the first people to point out he saw the fireworks as many other people showed you, that goes to he made the comment, you don't pick a cybertruck if you want to inflict mass casualty and harm. that is one issue but it does look like he packed the car with

explosives. the other is the app. it has been around for a long time. many of our viewers are just now hearing about it but they do extensive background checks on the person running the car and the renter as well. both of these suspects, they both use that same map. there are safeguards in place. >> that is a great point. it potentially, authorities believe it wasn't rented by the attack until just prior to the attack. some of the information about it driving through texas may not be associated with the suspect at all. >> there were two attempts on the life of donald trump last

year. two assassination attempts, and this vehicle, clearly selected, placed in front of trump tower in nevada, las vegas. it raises the question, with a terror suspect. maybe not the fbi definition, but this is a terrorist event. this is a bomb going off in front of a trump building. it raises the issue of the attempted assassin, a ukraine fanatic. who is radicalizing these individuals? how are they being radicalized? who is behind it? get on it. >> jonathan gilliam joins us next with more on the cybertruck explosion and the terror attack in new orleans. stay with usize . customize and sa—

>> the fbi and local authorities are investigating any possible links between the terror attack in new orleans and the cybertruck explosion in las vegas. the fbi says there is no definitive link right now but officials are looking into the possibility. >> we are investigating any conductivity to what happened in new orleans and other attacks occurring around the world. we are not ruling anything out. >> is there a possibility of this had a link to isis? >> i will tell you we don't have any indication of that here in las vegas, no overt isis flag but we are investigating every aspect of this and if that comes to light, we will update you. >> joining us now, let's bring in jonathan gilliam. thank you for coming back and

joining us. i want to get your thoughts on the idea this is or is not linked. your thoughts on the possi possibility. >> the differences between these two press conferences, the way it has been briefed is so different. vegas has it down. one authority figure putting the information out by and large. in new orleans, too many politicians are clouding what -- we have to scrub that information to piece together what we are hearing. the fbi agent down there did a great job at the governor is getting in the way a little of that. as we look at this and this information comes out, words like no definitive proof at this time tells me that they don't have any proof there is or is not a link. when we look at these, paul said

these coincidences always exist until they do not anymore and they vet them out. a true investigator will look at these thing and not rule them out until they -- the evidence takes care of that for you. in this case, between these different incidents, there are so many things that are crisscrossing from the -- both of them were electric trucks from out-of-state, driven to the location where the attack was. both on the same app. both individuals were from the army who served at the same base at the same time. these are coincidences that should cause pause and lead investigators to do a deep dive and what was going on when they were in these bases, did they know each other? did they come in contact with the same handlers. as far as the motivation goes,

it looks like two different but this individual -- they are no longer with us. the other guy had an isis flag. this guy simply parked elon musk's vehicle underneath the trump tower. it looks like the motivations may be different but they may not be. that is still to be determined. >> one of the big differences, of the explosion that happened in las vegas, other than the individual in the vehicle, no one was killed. in new orleans, 14 people were murdered by this accused terrorists, who is deceased. the police also injured -- several police officers were able to take this individual down. the big information coming out about new orleans is investigators are just releasing that they believe that suspect was a lone actor. your thoughts on that and what a change it is from the perception we were getting yesterday that

there could be a terrorist cell at work. >> i don't like when investigators go out or these executives go out and make statements like that. they should always temper that with, at this point in time, the information shows us, or all the information we have is the individual worked alone but we are looking to see if there are others. this is important to the stink distinction -- these are important distinctions. i want to know what the explosives were that the individual in new orleans used and if those match up with these. if that is the case, we have a definitive link. if we do not, the investigations

still progress separately. that will be telling. with this individual in new orleans, i would like to know more about the mosque, the people he was around. who helped him come up with this idea, or did he come up with it on his own, which typically does not happen, and also, when he was in the army in afghanistan, did he have contact with anybody over there? did he get a handle or over there? at what point did he change? >> those are great points. anyone who knew this man, the fbi is asking them to come forward. even remote conversations they may have had. we appreciate your insights. concerns growing for today's sugar bowl game and other high profile events after what the fbi are calling an evil act of terrorism in that city.

>> there are growing safety concerns in new orleans and other cities following the deadly attack on bourbon street. officials have decided to go ahead with the sugar bowl, just under three and a half hours away from kickoff. the city has doubled down on security and plans to do the same for the super bowl next month. authorities assuring these events will be safe to attend. >> this is a tactical team capable of handling any sort of enforcement. they are deployed, on set and for the sugar bowl.

the governor executed executive powers and had an emergency declared where ats can tap into assist emergency search functions. this allowed us to bring additional canine so we can sweep the city and sweep the super bowl in preparation for the game today. these resources will still be in the city as we lead up through into the super bowl and mardi gras. >> governor landry said i believe more than once today, this can happen in any city. >> no. those bollards were being replaced ahead of the super bowl on bourbon street. they had a police car parked there that the truck drove around. in new york city, we know how to prevent this because this very

thing happened in 2017, the west side highway a bike path, a truck driven by someone empathetic to the islamic state drove a mile down the west side highway bike path and killed eight people and injured more. >> what happened there, he wanted to get to the halloween parade and he rented a truck. it was so similar to what just occurred. i feel like jabbar may have paralleled what he did off of that event. he rents the truck, come from a different location, drives to the city, has an isis flag on the truck, comes in. the difference was when he got to the city and he wanted to get to the halloween parade, he found it blocked off. there were garbage trucks,

cement trucks everywhere blocking access to that. it limited the fatalities but he was able to call an audible and directed himself to the west side highway. you can't secure every location in every city but in this case, we don't have to speculate. the superintendent herself said we kind of blew it. >> bourbon street is reopening this afternoon right before the game starts and there is an issue and it should fall to the families of the people who were murdered, but there is an issue of meeting businesses to reopen. in a city that is hard-hit financially. >> this is heartbreaking. there are people grieving and it is hard to imagine walking down bourbon street and feeling the same way. it will be a challenge to return

to normal but at the same time, there is a sense this is our city, our country and reclaiming all of our rights and freedoms and getting back out there is part of what will be ahead for the people of new orleans. >> follow-up on how safe all our other big cities are in the aftermath of this. >> we talk about whether or not this terrorist was directed by isis. that misses a larger point, which is that we are at a heightened terrorist risk right now, especially since the attacks against israel on october 7th, 2024 was a record-breaking year for anti-semitic behavior and aggression. jewish americans are 2.4% of the population. that is an important thing, we have to be vigilant.

we have heard from the fbi there are homegrown terrorist activities and geopolitically, we have to get after those isis cells after the withdrawal from afghanistan. we have lost a lot of our capability but we have to stay after the terrorism threat. >> the afghanistan branch of isis has been particularly active in propaganda and recruitment efforts. we have very little intelligence gathering left in the country because of the withdrawal. >> because of the terror cells that developed and evolved. real quick, for the super bowl, the first 9/11 super bowl was at the superdome in new orleans. there were snipers on the roof. that super bowl is going to be safe and secure and even today on bourbon street, at the

attack, he had two guns but they were fake. he did not know that. the guys at the high school, he was confronted with that and now he is in jail. the cops here did respond from everything we are seeing and hearing. they activate, the guy with the machete, they responded as well. it is always an issue, big crowds, heightened threat posture. more power to them. this is why, the governor has to be at these press conferences. he has to ensure these events are going to go on and that they are prepared for them. >> may god bless and keep our
