attack the posted five videos tt face -- facebook and revealed he is original plan was to hurt his family and friends. they were worried that kind of attack wouldn't generate newsdi headlines with the believers any the disbelievers. until today officials said they were very confident other peopls weren't involved in the attacknf and today here is how theyy explained this big change in th investigation. >> with the hundreds ofhe interviews we've conducted so far the social media and the five devices we have and then we've been able to initially triage or go through that buto there's nothing toin indicateng recall records or anything on the devices through interviewsuh and anything in our systems.y. or anything to do so just he was

aided by anybody.ea agents searching ircn airbnb whe the suspect was to staying. there was a fire also yesterday morning after the attack at theo home andun investigators found explosive material inside they believe was used to make an iedu back on bourbon street officials you can see reopened the areahe ann d got here. and there is still wet from thei city coming in including in those areas where bodies relying 36 hours ago after the horrificn attack. as at the fbi identified exp explosive devices planted by the suspect blocks away. the fbi and president biden also said they had a detonator inside the vehicle.tech >> fbi bomb technicians also recovered two ieds in coolers.

one from the cross-section of s bourbon antrd orland street andn the other at an intersection two blocks away. we obtained surveillance footage showing him placing the devicesh where they were found.ence >> we've experienced so muchtion terror as a nation judge and t some of this it's a difficult to wrap your head around but it is also exposed soft targets which are softer than baby b lotion in the words of drake but also it exposes something about the fbi. what are your first thoughts?ve >> i haven't been here a few days to happy new year i'm prout to be back and first of all myt sympathies and condolences go to the families and of those a lost and injured in this. some kudos to the policecers officers who went after thisdriv dirtbag was driving the truck. i'm talking about new orleans but i do have to tell you.

the press conference i watched yesterday was a disaster. i've never see.n anything bad as this in 32 years in law enforcement. nobody was in charge everybody was competing to talk and everybody wasey talking too long and they gave too many answers. they were not on top of their game. the mayor said they had a plan and the terrorists defeated it.u the superintendent of policeed says we proven time and time han again we can handle large crowds. the fbi, the person speaking for the fbi said we are taking the lead and it wasn't a terrorist u event. but you are the fbi. first ofne allve you never talkd also why not say we haven't ruled it out yet. you aren't even 24 hours out and this was about competitionion between law enforcement agencies. they couldn't wait t o talk. and oki was a chief

law enforcement officer for many years there in the first thing you do is you tell everybody who is in charge and who is going t. be speaking. this kirkpatrick she's doingterv interviews over here they do interviews over there they contradict each other. this was all ego at play. they weren't prepared and thema thing that makes me crazy. they said everybody he is safe and we are looking for this for the super bowl. why not new year's eve inef thee is a city in the country you want to get drunk and crazy and' is new orleans. what about mardi gras coming up. what about the super bowl. now what the i do like his theyy about the bollards the truth is that they were supposed to be coming in before the super bowl. i want to know is and

they added a qualifier. way before the super bowl. they were up there patting each other on the back andth recognizing that they lost the support of the people in this country. they said abou bolt them in thet thing i want to say is how do you absolve yourselves of liability by saying they weren't up yet.re how ar ye you protecting peopleh when there weren't any of them. what kind of contract was it. was it? a no-bid contract? this iconts new orleans so what the dateof of the completion of the contract. what dat?e was it required by. was time of the essence and t condition of the contract. i want to prosecutor on that contract and i want to know why they were so lax and they shouls be embarrassed as opposed to saying we did a great job whentn they didn't.n, >> they are trying to distractsa saying bourbon street is open and everything is back to normal. it isn't normal and it shows hoe easy something like this can

happen. so whaso tt are your thoughts oe perpetrator? ran he ranted about going after his family and does something likeer this. then we hear about hundreds or,a thousands of people associated with groups from isis to others in this country illegally got a ways that we don't even know about. >> first and foremost they echo the sentence of the families of those affected by this. it was incredible he traumatizing experience i bet. obviously the sugar bowlas s yesterday that was supposed to go on was a big piece of this pie there were so many people coming in there and so many of the victims were there to atten the game. and that there were two stories being told about the. perpetrator.ple won that people he took a moment to actually think about it and get more information or telling which is that it was a homegrown american terrorist he was raisea

in textus and served in the u.sh military then there is another narrative being boosted byeopl people he want to make a case t about open borders that it somebody who threw forove eagle pass went to new orleansto to kill a bunch of people. it's not p whaeot happened heret the senator was on in the last hour with sandra talking aboutrt the real threat of homegrown terrorism and i understand we need to be careful about theo border and there are people he crossed over with isisbu sympathies. but att at this moment our focus this guy the signs that were there and his ex-wife who has a new husband and said for thead past few months had been actinga crazy and didn't want him around their kids. i don't have some but he goes from i want to torch my ownan familyy to going to wanting to take out as many people as he can. he didn't hide his sympathies. the flag was flying from his car. it glo does seem like a lot of t

signs in all of this.in there hagd been staffing issues in terms of a police force which could have been seen sooner. the the pollard says the judge was talking about but it makes mely feel unsafe and i'm sureho w everybody else down there for t these events as i know the game is going on right now. d the personan sitting next to there. the dogs are hoping to be victorious let's talk about joey because radicalization we are talking about as jessica pointeh out it's an american citizen by how much easier is it for somebody to perpetrate acts like this if they've been radicalized already. if there is a weakness at thees southern border ansed this is ak road map for them. a lot of people are scared about that. >> a couple things. complacency kill so when we talk about the barriers that should have been in place my understanding they are hydraulih and they had to replace the mechanism. so when it can put something stc there.

concrete. >> a garbage truck like they do in times square. >> have a personal connection to what's happening in new orleans not just because the dogs are playing in the sugar bowl butha theyve played a several times i. the last handful of years and i was there in 2019 to watch them play i don't have a buddy who doesn't have a new year's inpart new orleans story is part of who we are of got a lot of friendsmn there and i have a friend whose son plays on the theme of the team was two blocks away from where this happened. in that wa thiy it does hit clor home for me it also hits close for to home for me when it hitse anywhere because i love thisis country. so i'm disgusted at how believeo it or not. i believthine her name is sarah added. former caa person a popular podcast and she said they

believe there is upwards of ain thousand operatives in t this wo schocountry. to get the materiao it and that is part of our job. this is a thing our government should always have their eye on. i don't know that they didn't, but god, may be spend less time banning pete hegseth from guarding the inauguration in 2020 and spend more time looking for people who have absolutely gotten radicalized or at least gone crazy while on the dod payroll. you know, the shooter at fort hood, learn your lesson once, not twice. and very upset about this. both of these people are service members. they are supposed to be my brothers, and they are killing the people that i would die for, and we should have a government that can sniff that out, not that spends its time prosecuting

people that didn't want to get a backseat. >> kennedy: well said, joey. >> tyrus: i lived there for over nine years. i called it home. this is nothing new. i'm sorry, i cannot go back to the judge's point, that press conference, to hear anne kirkpatrick say we did have a plan. >> judge jeanine: yeah. [laughs] >> tyrus: but the terrace defeated it. he made a right-hand turn because you parked a police car, that was your plan? because the hydraulics were out? there are also other things in new orleans, i forget what they are called, these big plates come up and cover the whole street. you cut fire trucks. new york used to dump trucks. you had no plan. then when you went in there, now she is trying to attach herself to the men and women, the boots on the ground who ran into things, she wants to talk them up. where were you? there was $40 million put aside to fix the security measures at bourbon street. where is that money? >> judge jeanine: oh, i love it, tyrus. >> tyrus: where is that money? you have 15 dead, 35, hundreds

of people will never be the same, thousands of people. >> joey: yeah. >> tyrus: and your best guess is he defeated it? governor, mayor, whatever you want to tell yourself, where is the resignation? the chief of police eddie terrorist just was smarter than we are. that's the answer. no. that's what we've seen. incompetents in this entire administration across-the-board. it's. it's going to take years to get people out of these positions they were not qualified for in the first place. when you have the fbi -- he literally had a nice his flight flailing on the back of his truck. it wasn't in his glove box, wasn't around his lap. everyone who saw what it was, and their answer was forget all of the ums while you were speaking, it's not a terrorist -- all of it is cover your own ass first. it's not about the american people. it's not us, it wasn't on us. that is the problem. bad men do bad things, but when

you make soft targets to the point where i have seen more security on a pickup basketball game in my house where you park a car in front of your garage so the ball doesn't roll out in the street. that's basically the level of security for 90,000 people coming there? new orleans used to be a beautiful place until these politicians and these people covering -- this is embarrassing. this is a sad day in america. i keep hearing about this dude, you've already made him a martyr. let's start talking about the people who were asleep at the wheel when the stuff happened. we have heard enough about him. what were you doing? what was your plan? explain yourself. because there are people that they will be scraping up remains for months. people will see the streets, you are never going to get this blood off the streets, and the blood is on the head of these politicians who said "the terrace defeated it." it's the saddest day i've seen in america in a long time. >> kennedy: all right. ahead, another possible terror

attack, this time in las vegas. brand-new details on the cybertruck explosion

♪ ♪ >> jessica: disturbing new details about the suspect involved in a cybertruck explosion at the trump hotel in las vegas. law enforcement says the 37-year-old active-duty u.s. army soldier matthew allen livelsberger drove the truck from colorado to the outside of the trump international hotel. >> jessica: the truck then exploded seconds later injuring seven bystanders. loslas vegas police said the suspect was perhaps dead on the scene of what appears to be a self infected gunshot wound. officials also fighting inside the vehicle the passport and identification of the suspect whose body was burned beyond recognition. authorities say the vehicle contained gasoline and

containers as well as multiple firearms. the fbi is investigating the exposure and is an act of terrorism but officials say there is currently no connection between the explosion in las vegas and the attack in new orleans. joey, i want to come to you first on this. extensive explosive experience from your service. can you talk us through what happened inside that truck? >> joey: yeah, so fireworks are made of something called either black powder or smokeless powder, similar to gunpowder, it is gunpowder essentially the way we use it today, and what happens is for black powder to go from deflagration to detonation it needs to be contained. that is why you usually see it in a peel pipe bomb. the structure allows the black powder to basically -- using the term wrong -- but go critical, and explosion, the fuel moves through the oxidizer faster than the speed of sound. that is not what happened in that truck. what happened in that truck is

fuel canisters exploded, and caught a bunch of fireworks on fire, and they went everywhere. and so the reason why i say that is this guy, if we believe -- not if we believe what we are told, because you're not not told enough to know what to believe -- with the amount of information we have, the current narrative is this is an army soldier of 18 years, and i believe on leave from germany, and decided to on december 30th buy two weapons, two guns, drive from colorado, rent a vehicle, drive from colorado to las vegas, by a bunch of fireworks and feel canisters -- when i say fuel, will look like a ct scan, the other more liquid natural gas or propane, and decided to set them on fire, what it looks like what happened. that he put a charge in there to blow up come i think it would have looked more stupid than that. i appreciate what elon is saying about it's at the explosion up because it is so structurally sound -- there wasn't an explosion. it looks like it but that is not

detonation. talking to people that know more about this than i do -- he knows -- his skill set would know how to take ammonium nitrate, ammonium powder, would you can buy, shoot at it, stuff that explodes, he would know how to take that and make a real bomb out of it. what i'm saying is what happened, i don't know is what he was trying to do. i don't know what happened. he had a gunshot wound in him, apparently before the truck exploded. it's las vegas. i don't believe the ever told us the truth about the vegas shooting. so i don't know what happened in front of the trump hotel other than a dead man was found in a vehicle that was on fire with a bunch of fireworks. and i hate it. >> judge jeanine: can ask a question? i will take my time asking this question. they say he shot himself first, and then the car explodes. i mean, i can't get into the minutia -- >> joey: that's why i think it was some sort of he set fire back there, it would take some time for that fire -- however he set off the initial blast was

probably through the fuel because that would be the easiest way to do it. >> judge jeanine: what are you telling committed the bullet and the gun going off have anything to do with the explosion, or did he separately initiate that and then shoot himself? >> joey: they are saying he set fire to the back of the truck probably did something to start -- >> judge jeanine: then shot himself? >> joey: then shot himself and got blown up. >> jessica: fuel canisters. >> joey: there were fuel canisters, gasoline and -- >> judge jeanine: i just want to say one more thing. the fbi said there is no definitive link between this and las vegas and new orleans. meanwhile, they are both former military, both veterans. they came from the same base, fort bragg. they both rent electric trucks from the same company -- that no one is ever heard of -- and they both served in afghanistan. >> joey: can i just say real quick was not fort bragg is a huge army base -- >> judge jeanine: i know that. what is with the electric vehicle and the fact they run from this place no one ever

heard of? >> jessica: tyrus has heard of it. >> tyrus: people with bad credit, suspended driver's license, people who pay more, it is one of those kind of rental places. it is not hurts and avis or whatever. usually lower economic people who can't necessarily go in and get a good credit check to rent a car. the more we talk about this, johnny, the more i feel like the two are connected, but they are different. because this feels more like a political statement. still an act of terrorism, but it was like someone setting themselves on fire in front of times square. it was that kind of a thing. because i refuse to believe, to your point, that an army elite green beret could not blow up, make a huge explosion if he wanted to. >> joey: unless it was the message he wanted to sent -- >> tyrus: the message. >> joey: i'm not saying that is it, i'm guessing it doesn't all add up nicely. >> tyrus: it's ever going to add up nice and neat. unfortunately, we cannot take

the word of the fbi right now in its current state, we cannot. >> joey: we could take it yesterday morning. >> judge jeanine: that's for sure. >> tyrus: the sheriff kevin mchale, thing i'm saying his name right, his press conference is how you do it. that's how you do it. >> jessica: i found las vegas so refreshing on a comparison basis. i'm seeing the same things you are seeing, these kind of connections, musk and trump, et cetera -- >> kennedy: we still have a lot of outstanding questions about another terror event in las vegas, where more than 50 people were killed, and there has not been transparency in that city. >> jessica: i wanted to go to you, kennedy, though, because your partner is a combat veteran, as well, and i was wondering if you could shed some light on what you think is going on between the military connection -- >> kennedy: yes, who also served in the army come in afghanistan, so of course my brain, unlike some things going on here, look at this fort bragg connection, they both went to fort bragg, the second

guy who tried to assassinate trump, he visited fort bragg reportedly over 100 times. so is there something about fort bragg? is there some connection? so i asked my thomistic partner, and he said the va is such an atrocious mass that he would not be surprised if these people tried to access care from the va and they were not appropriately treated, and he said the number of people who go in for treatment and who are that down by the administration over and over and over again, particularly psychologists, because he says it is a revolving door and people truly need the help are left essentially to wither, so i'm sure we will learn more about that but that is a very important part of the story. he also said of doug collins is in fact -- if he is confirmed as the va secretary, that there will be sweeping changes, and he

has faith in him. >> joey: i do, too. >> kennedy: i hope to share his faith. >> joey: the va get a lot better under trump real quick. >> jessica: up next, donald trump calling out the biden administration after the terror attacks in new orleans. ♪ doctor box, there were many failed attempts to fix my teeth. i retouched all my wedding photos, and it was even affecting my health. i trusted you because you specialize in dental implants. you created a permanent solution and customized my teeth so it still felt like me. my new teeth have improved my life and changed my future. - thank you. - you're so welcome. get the smile you want from the number one provider of fixed full arch dental implants in the u.s. schedule a free consultation.

♪ ♪ >> judge jeanine: president-elect donald trump is tearing into the biden administration following a deadly terror attack in new orleans. trump posting on truth social, "the usa is breaking down. a violent erosion of safety, national security, and democracy is taking place all across our nation. when we strengthen powerful leadership will stop it." meanwhile joe biden needing to meet with his homeland security team in the situation room before trying to assure the public that he has everything under control in the wake of the most recent attack. >> people of new orleans are sending an unmistakable message.

they will not let this attack or the attacks, attackers, diluted ideology overcome us. none of us should fear -- we're going to continue to relentlessly pursue terrorist organizations where they are and they will find no safe harbor here. >> judge jeanine: all right, joey. to the extent you could understand that, biden is just saying and assuring all americans everything is well. >> joey: i wish he would just say don't and everyone in his little cabinet will echo it from every microphone. it really bothers me that his entire posture, we are giving new orleans what they need to investigate this and clean this up and do what they need to do. you come out. you have two events on the same day. the only connection may be that it was new year's day, we don't know. but the people in this country have been terrorized. that is true. the people in this country are traumatized. they are worried.

they are upset. you are the leader of this country. you come out and you say we are going to get to the bottom of this, we are going to make sure our citizens are not vulnerable to over the horizon threat because we are not in afghanistan or the middle east anymore, i'm saying these organizations that were so defeated that we could bring everybody home, apparently are getting it done in our home. that goes to the federal government, not the police in new orleans and not the national guard national guard in louisiana. that goes to the federal government, the federal quarters, the federal fbi, to every mechanism we have that already infringes upon our rights to keep us safe, then at least do the keeping us safe part. then at least do the part where you find these people. you don't get radicalized sitting at home reading a book that was published five years ago. you get radicalized online. how do you not know these people are getting radicalized? how do you not know these people are getting to the point that they're going to commit mass murder and say that you are just

going to support the new orleans police? >> judge jeanine: you know what, tyrus, joey brings up an interesting question, and that is the issue of how much, how far, how deep should law enforcement go in terms of online statements that people are making, and do they have the capacity to do that? >> tyrus: well, we know they have the capacity to do it because we saw the amount of people who were persecuted and gone after four saying i don't like what is going on in my child's school or someone saying i don't trust the vaccine. so we know they have the ability to track and stuff like that. there things you can do. there is a connection with everything, and it is failure. absolute failure across the board of our federal government, our federal agencies. americans are not safe anymore. it's not just about the fact that people are always going to do bad things, but there was always at least a fear. there is no fear right now. we are seeing open online celebrations of a guy shooting somebody in the back, or push a

guy on the subway. we see across the board it is always the same thing no matter where this stuff happens. the first thing they say his thoughts and prayers. i don't want any more thoughts and prayers, i want angry and results. i don't think their families want to hear your prayers when you are not paying attention to them in the first place. i'm just saying come of the connection, to finish my point, is that we are seeing, whatever the president speaks, it is embarrassing, okay? he barely stepped out to give we are going to send money, we are going to send this, they should have already had money. >> judge jeanine: he is an embarrassment. that is the end of that. trump protecting terrorism is on the rise, what do you say? >> kennedy: i fear that he might be right. i share joey's concern from a little bit ago in the show that there has been a great deal of complacency and the fact that we haven't seen chatter, activity, an action like this in so long, people felt like it had been defeated. it's here. it's easier than ever.

it certainly does feel coordinated. but also what struck me as we are in this nebulous period with a lame duck president who might not even know that he is president. i mean, he has a hard time articulating very simple points on a teleprompter. how is he making the critical calls in the middle of the night that god forbid will have to be answered given the environment that we are in right now. so yeah, i think there is an element of that and it scares me. >> judge jeanine: jessica, the biden administration say they caught 2,000 terrorists during the biden term and almost a million known and unknown gotaways. why would they continue to bring in under the cbp one app people who don't even have to stop at the border? >> jessica: well, we actually have a huge change in the amount of people that are getting into this country and the number of deportations, so we now have the lowest number of border crossings in four years -- >> judge jeanine: they are flying them in, wipe cross the border if you get a free flight? >> jessica: is not true -- that they are just flying them

in. >> judge jeanine: they are -- >> jessica: without background checks. >> judge jeanine: waiting minute, you think they are flying them in and they do background checks on them? >> jessica: yes, i do think they get it back on check. >> judge jeanine: from chile, venezuela -- >> jessica: mexico and central america and the amount of cooperation -- >> judge jeanine: you're telling me that haiti, ghana mollo, venezuela are giving background checks? >> jessica: you are telling me that in the last year where we have gotten out over 700,000 people which is the most that we have deported since the year 2010, the lowest number of border crossings, record seizures of drugs that are supposed to be coming across the border, that this is a wide open border -- >> judge jeanine: why did biden lose if it was so great? >> jessica: it was too little, too late, but when you say -- i'm glad we can agree on something. but when you say i'm embarrassed watching joe biden come i'm not embarrassed seeing someone stand up there and say let's wait for some facts here because donald trump went out there and he said -- >> judge jeanine: he assured americans --

>> jessica: all of the comments that he made and the statements which said we need to make sure we have the right facts, the right facts were that the guy in new orleans was an american. he wasn't an illegal -- >> judge jeanine: no one is saying he wasn't -- >> jessica: that's not true. there have been republicans who have been on tv today talking about -- >> judge jeanine: i will call them myself. >> jessica: that it's an open border problem. >> kennedy: not a mutually exquisite problem -- >> jessica: but you know what they are trying to do. they are trying -- it is a demonization, undocumented people. these aren't undocumented people. >> judge jeanine: 75% of the arrests in new york city are illegals. >> jessica: move the goalposts. move it, shoot a goal wide, whatever. >> judge jeanine: coming up, major safety concerns across the u.s. allegedly. after the a terror attack okay everyone, our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy. yay - woo hoo! ensure, with 27 vitamins and minerals,

it's about competence. it's competence. how smart are you to predict where the vulnerabilities are and they're not? and you know what? i'll tell you what bothers me about all this. and i'm not going to go through the whole thing about the bollards and the contracts and the corruption and all that, although i'm not connecting the ball yards with corruption, i'm just asking a question which is typical in new orleans. but the issue is, is this about the economy for them? is this about saying, you know, new orleans, we rely on you, america, for the super bowl, for the sugar bowl, for mardi gras, and everything's safe. is it about politicians and making sure that they get a financial return for the city, or is it about keeping americans safe? and i'm not sure what it is. i really am not. >> jessica, new orleans has the super bowl coming to town. there's going to be an inauguration in washington, d.c. there was a big new year celebration here. and i can tell you, as a guy who wants a car to take me up to the door,

they were streets blocked off in both directions for several blocks. here, it seems like the nypd understands what a vulnerable, what a vulnerable large gathering is and how to protect against it. are you living in new york? are you worried about anything in this? >> sometimes. i've talked extensively on the show about the change in the subway and the conditions down there, and i, i commute both ways on the subway, and it's very different. and it seems like every day there is another story. two people slashed at grand central. another person pushed into the tracks. you see someone like congressman richie torres, who i hope does have the high aspiration of running for governor here, where he is on it every single day, saying that you can't have such an unsafe environment for new yorkers. these are things that make these cities great. what i was interested, though, on the new orleans front, though, is that the ag liz merrill, i think is her name, said that she wouldn't have had the sugar bowl today, but no one asked my opinion, which seems really strange that you wouldn't have asked the top cop in the in the

state's opinion on that, that i don't know. >> strange kennedy. i don't know what force protection responsibility the ag has. ag at the state level is much different than at the federal level. but just looking at back to las vegas, we kind of we went out and come back in. would you feel safe going to the sugar bowl today? i would, i think i think i would feel safe, but i'd have to be there to know i would feel safer today than i would yesterday. >> i think having 24 hours to get a little bit more of a comprehensive plan together, i would trust them, definitely. you know, local law enforcement and i would certainly entertain the opinion of people who were worried and spitballing about a terror event before new year's eve, who are obviously batted down in the discussion. so, yes, i would talk to them. i would have more faith on a day like today. but as someone you know, it's like my worry is, you know, the errant psycho who's on the subway train. i'm always worried about big, unstable people on a subway platform. i get as far away

from them as i can. we need to have more court awareness. as we're walking around these big cities and big events. we can't not do things in the future, but it certainly changes how a lot of us look at other people we interact with at these big events. >> taras. >> yeah, i think it's a complete disconnect. i probably, as much as you hate to let terrorism dictate, i just feel with the amount of death, with the amount of people still fighting for their lives, that it was in poor taste to run the sugar bowl the next day, i just, i don't i don't agree with that. and here's the other thing that bothers me. saying her comments alone just enraged me, saying, you're going to have a bigger truck. yeah. that's not they're not going to strike the same place again. it's going to be a different situation. it's a complete overhaul. the level of incompetence and the fact that that's your answer should make everyone who's family wants to go anywhere right now. take pause, look at the city you're going to go into. look at their police force. how many police officers are are able to work, like what is going, you know, new orleans at one point i

think was i don't have the exact number was down to 700 law enforcement officers. yeah. with with what we've had with defunding the police and, and no cash bail and all that stuff, you need to really think about where you're going with your family. is this why even put yourself in that situation? >> that's tough. all right. ahead, pro-hamas protesters taking to the streets just hours after these terror after this terror attack in new orleans. >> when the temperature drops and winter settles in, you've got two choices. close your eyes and think warm thoughts. or open your eyes. grab your gear and get out here. this winter, there's only one choice worth making, and there's only one vehicle lineup that embraces everything the cold has to offer. the official vehicles of winter jeep. vehicles of winter jeep. >> there's only looks pr one.etty bad.

♪ ♪ >> tyrus: a pro-palestinian mom takes over the streets of new york city, shocking display just hours after the deadly terror attacks in new orleans that killed 14 innocent victims and the violent truck explosion in las vegas. i just have one question for everybody: when is our federal government going to start taking these people serious? if you say you are hamas, when they going to start reading them like hamas? they are saying what they are. why are we treating the many different? why are we not investigating them? why are we not pulling them and for question? >> judge jeanine: real fast, legally, just because you say you are hamas, it doesn't mean it is a crime and you can be arrested. this is america. this is why everybody wants to come here because you can pretty much do and say whatever you want. i think the fault lies -- because i totally agree with

you -- the fault lies in idiots like alvin bragg who had hamas camped on at columbia university. they were in charge with trespass, criminal mischief, breaking into the building, for the people who worked in that building, they let them go, so there are no consequence as many commit crimes, so they feel free to commit crimes, and one more thing. hate is hate. hate leads to violence. violence leads to reality retaliation and community unrest and that is what we are heading for, folks, you heard it from me. >> jessica: new sheriff or sheriffs coming to town, these protesters are going to meet their match on campuses and in times square and at the united nations, and there are a lot of democrats who are happy about that change that is coming. >> joey: i was here in new york and i didn't know that was happening until i saw a reporting on it. i would love to say these protests don't really matter and they don't have an effect, but they do because we just saw that people can be radicalized and inspired by the things other people do, and at this point it

is a matter of time until someone is so mad about this that they do something evil and we don't need that. >> kennedy: this is the result of academic groupthink, and it is absolutely disgusting. people like the perpetrator on new year's eve are there martyrs. that is who they are celebrating. they want to destroy your way of life. they don't think you are cool. they are not on your side. and they are getting their talking points from terrorists. >> tyrus: the very latest on th doctor box, there were many failed attempts to fix my teeth. i retouched all my wedding photos, and it was even affecting my health. i trusted you because you specialize in dental implants. you created a permanent solution and customized my teeth so it still felt like me. my new teeth have improved my life and changed my future. - thank you. - you're so welcome. finance the smile you want for as low as one forty eight a month per arch. schedule a free consultation. the holidays are a time for making lists.
