>> okay, thanks, guys. thank you, everybody. >> white supremacy the greatest terrorist threat in the united states? >> joey: got to love lucas. the backlash comes as the fbi and dhs issued a joint warning urging americans 18,000 law-enforcement agencies to be on alert for copycats influenced by the terror attack on bourbon street. meanwhile, speaker mike johnson is calling out the biden administration for forcing the fbi to not bar ties to the right things. >> for four years now, the biden administration has taken its eye off the ball. they did not prioritize, in our view, the right things, and the fbi was off doing all of these various sundry things, putting their emphasis and their eye on conservative catholics and concerned parents at school board meetings and all of these other things. they tried to convince us that the greatest threat to the homeland was racially motivated extremism? >> joey: judge, is it actually

white supremacy, or like a speaker says, conservative catholics and concerned parents, that the biden administration has focused and turned into what they say is a great threat? >> judge jeanine: well, i think anyone who has looked at the news for the last four years knows what the biden administration's agenda is. you know, the fact they would even compare isis two, you know, white supremacists, so there is any kind of connection there. when they are at the same time so quick to rule out terrorism, it's almost like a knee-jerk reaction. i think we talked about this yesterday. you know, at fort hood, that wasn't terrorism, this wasn't terrorism. but, you know, the white supremacists are the ones who are out there, when we had the pulse nightclub in 2016, san bernardino in '15, all of that -- >> joey: we have that. we can pull this up, i hope. it is a big number.

it is a lot. >> judge jeanine: those are isis-related terror attacks. this is a party and an administration that has an agenda, and the agenda is a narrative, and you've got to fulfill the narrative. and if it is not part of the narrative, that it's not real. you remember this administration came in, one of the first things they did, antony blinken went to the u.n. and said you have to do a study and tell us how racist we are. i just remember hitting myself in the head and wondering what the heck are they talking about? these people, there is no reason to compare one to the other but that is just about their ideology. >> joey: tyrus, in an effort not to go to you first on the race question -- >> tyrus: and i appreciate that, but at the same time, i'm offended because that is a world we live in. i always find it funny when a person -- a white man saying white supremacy is the problem. but not him. because he has his blm and all his other stuff, but not him,

that is virtue signaling. it wasn't about that. this was about january 6th. this was about starting to lay the tracks. you cannot call a guy hitler unless he has followers. so continue to lay the tracks, put party over people, by saying the biggest threat was white supremacists, and who is the king of the white supremacists? well, it's donald trump. president trump. so this was part of the whole plan to get him out and not have the ability to come back, clearly did not work, but this was what this was about. he would say the most dangerous thing that was facing us, because when you make believe monsters up, when you say things like global warming is an existential threat, they usually can't prove so it can go away when you want it and it can appear when you need it, that's what this entire administration has been smoking and the american people locally saw through the wizard's little curtain. >> joey: kennedy, i agree with tyrus, and if you are president joe biden and you pulled out of afghanistan the way he did and said listen we have over the horizon

capabilities, we keep an eye on what is going on, when you have your homeland security secretary say the border is secure, when you've done those things, you almost have to have someone else to point the finger to to explain why you are not working on these things. >> kennedy: yes, and pointing the finger is incredibly important, especially when he homegrown care rest has given you a road map for how to easil. accountability and blame are critical in order to keep the city and other cities across the country safe. i'm going to read you a quote from our favorite anchor patrick, the media darling, superintendent of police in new orleans, who said this. this is not a matter of pointing blame anywhere, a terrorist is hell-bent on destruction. this man was going to do his best and if it hadn't been on bourbon, he was going to do it somewhere else. we have this. we are going to implement it. end of story. she had plenty at her disposal. she didn't know what it was, she didn't know it was there, she didn't know how to use it. the safety structures have

half-assedly been put in place and they were put in place wrong, and with that mentality, you don't have to keep anything safe. i have cops in times square on new year's eve? because a terrorist is just went to find a way to kill people. that sort of mentality, how does she still have a job? there should be blamed, there should be accountability, there should be resignations, and they should have happened two days ago. >> judge jeanine: i don't think she is going to have a job much longer, but it is your turn. >> joey: jessica, that does bring me to this question. isis inspired this attack. just hour after this attack happened, people in new york city protesting on behalf of gaza and using every kind of slur and negative thing you can say about jews and israel. the president that is our president now said we will keep the terrorists at babel over the horizon capabilities. do you not feeling little bit safer knowing present trump is going to take over?

>> jessica: that was president biden awarding the medal of honor to american heroes who served in korea and vietnam wars. before that event, judge, we were discussing the failures in the new orleans attack. want to pick up where we left off? >> judge jeanine: okay, let me remind our viewers what we were talking about. we were talking about the fact the superintendent of police in new orleans had no idea that they had these particular -- >> jessica: barriers. >> judge jeanine: barriers. and she said she didn't know anything about it. and the guy whose company created these barriers is quoted as saying that his company has been trying to get in touch with the new orleans police department because they don't know -- they are not deploying these barriers correctly. and no one is getting back to him, okay? so the barriers that the superintendent of police knew nothing about, they just found them, but they don't know how to use them. now i want to talk about and

kirkpatrick for a minute or two. and kirkpatrick, the superintendent of police, is the one who said, you know, she didn't know anything about the fact that the department -- i said to myself, why wouldn't someone say before new year's eve, what assets do we have to put in place for new year's eve? she didn't even ask that question. most importantly, she wants to make sure we are not here to place blame. why? because they are all at fault. and kirkpatrick, who was let go by the oakland police department and served in many police departments in tennessee, chicago, new orleans, okay, this is a woman who needs to be fired. i'm sorry. people died because of her ineptitude, and in addition to that, she is arrogant about it. why is she doing an individual press conference? remember the first one was a cluster mass, and now she is going on her own, anyone who will talk to her, she talks to them. she said i had no idea we had

these barriers, and i want to talk about the fact that yesterday we talked about the bollards. bottom line with the bollards, i looked up the contract, all right, the contract for the bollards was signed in november, november 18th of 2024. you were really expecting those to be ready by new year's eve? no, you were only preparing for the super bowl. you didn't give a damn about new year's eve. because the bollards were not expected to be delivered until early february -- >> tyrus: that's why they had the other ones in storage. >> kennedy: >> judge jeanine: in storage, but she didn't know about them so she didn't deploy them. this is ineptitude at the highest levels, and her arrogance come on top of her ineptitude, makes her a candidate for being fired. she isn't a dei hire. but go ahead. >> kennedy: she hit two pedestrians with a car just a couple months ago. that is why she didn't want to place blame. she is no stranger to this. she is not only a bad person,

she also gives female cops a horrible name. people like that, who fail upward through different departments, you know, the liberal city council and mayor's, oh, we really should have a woman in place -- well, then hire a good, competent, strong woman, who can lead a police department, who actually have conversations with the local homeland security chief who put these things in place to save lives because "new york times" did a deep dive today, just a couple days after, and it shows in 2017 when they got the bollards after the bastille day attack in france, and in 2019 they were like your vulnerability here on bourbon street in particular to a vehicular attack or mass shooting is astronomical, and this place is incredibly soft, and she didn't know that they had backup resources that could have protected all of those people that night. >> jessica: joey, i want to switch gears a little bit to get to las vegas and talk a bit about the manifesto that the fbi

thinks is legitimate from levels burger. >> joey: this guy yesterday, sean ryan, a former navy seal, a very good podcast and one of the first if not the first to put it out there, there is some drama going on, going into hiding, if you read the manifesto, the guy talks about these drones, basically antigravity propulsion and he goes into some places and we started yesterday, i didn't want to put out any kind of theory but i said listen, maybe because i identify this guy, is a veteran, 18 years, honorable service, it didn't look like he was trained to make a weapon of mass destruction, it looked like he was trained to get attention and kill himself, it seemed to be the press conference they substantiated that, it's tough. maybe i'm biased. maybe it's wrong. i have empathy for the guy. much more so than some dude driving down a street killing people, for sure. i've worked with a nonprofit called boot campaign, they are veterans and places in their

minds that are irrational, and we work really hard to get them back to rational -- they will try to rationalize suicide. it's an irrational thing. so you can't add rationality to it. but here we are, looking at it, going it was january 1st, maybe that was the coincidence between the two, specific date on the calendar, but are we doing enough to reach people that serve in war and see the worst we can do to each other, redoing enough to stop some thing like this from happening? and answer is no. >> jessica: "one more thing" is up next. ♪ ♪
