4:01 pm
special edition of "the ingraham angle." brand new information tonight about the terror attacks in new orleans and a cybertruck bombing outside of the trump hotel in las vegas. fox's mike tobin is on the ground in new orleans and has details on both incidents, mike? >> see in new orleans that all around us are reminders of the sadness. here we have 14 wooden crosses for 14 innocent lives lost in this attack. we have attack. security video from the crescent restaurant or the crystal restaurant i should say. caught the moment that rented truck sped intthe crowd killing 14 and injuring 37. witnesses react. >> the traumatic parts of it human nature with anyone is capable of like the bodies mangelled strong like several
4:02 pm
unrecognizable. >> i don't want to party anymore. i just went home greed. >> while the fbi claims the new orleans attack is terrorism, the vegas cybertruck explosion at the trump hotel is very different. investigators released portions of a digital journal kept by matthew livelsberger a combat veteran. the journal says he didn't hold a grievance with the president-elect. livelsberger wanted to create a spectacle to make a point. troubled guy with mental health issues. what isn't clear is he suffered from protest traumatic stress. liberals pay attention to spectacles and violence what better way to get his point across than with fireworks and explosives. livelsberger shot himself in the head. back here in new orleans, we have found multiple reports and security assessment suggesting that the leaders here in new orleans were warned an attack like this was very possible. lisa?
4:03 pm
>> lisa: thank you, mike. we appreciate your time. so, the failures that occurred in new orleans ended up making it easy for someone to ram a truck down bourbon street. fox news garrett tenney spoke to the ceo of meridian rapid defense group which makes the steel archer barrier that are designed to prevent the exact kind of attack on bourbon street. the archer that new orleans has had for years and had hindsight would have changed everything. >> there is no question would have had a different outcome. it's difficult to say what that outcome would be, but we know what the product does. we're in the mitigation business, we are here to mitigation the situation. right? and that's what the does. it actually stops people progressing down down a path or a road or a street. attorney general of louisiana
4:04 pm
how did you first learn of the terror attack? >> well, i woke up in the morning on new year's day to an early phone call from the governor immediately called him back and, you know, discovered what happened we saw it breaking on the news. i wasn't aware of it until 6 6:30 a.m. we're hearing that the city had barrier to prevent this type of attack. the superintendent wasn't even aware that the city had them? is it time for her to resign? >> you know, i got that question earlier today. i think that -- i think that's an issue that has to be dealt with by local officials as a matter of law and, you know, i have been very critical of a
4:05 pm
consent decree that has been on top of the new orleans police department since 2012 that i think also has inhibited their ability to act. but, you know, at the end of the day, we have to look at what all the gaffes and what the failures were and we need to fix them. there is just no question that there were things that could have been done that would have stopped this particular action at that particular location. if you're familiar with the french quarter, there were a lot of other places where somebody could have accessed bourbon street, or accessed large numbers of people and that's quite true throughout the entirety of mardi gras for several months. >> but, you know, attorney general, to not be aware that the city had these barriers, do you have confidence in the superintendent at this point? >> look, you know, i have a lot of questions just like everybody
4:06 pm
else does about the planning that took place or the lack thereafter relatives to new year's eve and new orleans on this time. questions fbi today who is in charge of planning before the super bowl sugar bowl. local police in charge of planning for the sugar bowl and for new year's eve. it's a big city. we do know that ramming events are a threat. and that they are a known threat. so, obviously, that is something that we need to plan for. there was a vehicle at the front of bourbon street, but it clearly wasn't enough. >> well, you know, and we first saw an fbi official say it wasn't a terror attack and the fbi had to clean that up and say indeed it was a terror attack. do you have confidence in the fbi to conduct this investigation? i think there is a gap in the
4:07 pm
leadership of the fbi in washington that happens down the chain with the fbi. so, you know, i do have faith in a lot of agents on the ground. they have done a really good job. they have -- they are smart, hard-working people. but they take orders from the top. and i think that's a problem. we need a transition in washington that is smooth and quick. and i have been calling for that because we can see that this is -- this effects national security. it effects all of our domestic security and all of our big cities. and we certainly intend for there to be a safe super bowl and that's coming up very, very quickly. >> well, and, you know, what role are you playing right now. >> largely supportive. i mean, the fbi has been briefing me. conversations with the fbi agents in charge of new orleans. that i had related to the ice
4:08 pm
chests that were found with ieds in them and they have been very forth coming with information that they have. but, again, i think that questions about this from the beginning. it took me no time whatsoever to call this a taste event. under state law there was no question that it amounted to an act of terrorism. i don't think the federal law definition is that different. so i'm not sure why there was any question about that from the beginning i think there is politics that come into play at the highest levels, which is why we need to move forward with a new transition so that we can get good leadership in place. and i do have confidence in kash patel and pam bondi. >> lisa: dais well. real quick, is the city ready to host the super bowl? i think everybody is going through security plans from the top to the bottom. we will re-evaluate everything. we will be ready for the super bowl. there is no doubt. there is a large number of people involved in that
4:09 pm
planning. that is a nationally magicalled event. it is not going to be managed by local police. i think the answer to that is yes we are going to be ready for the super bowl. we have got it take a hard look. you don't go through an event like this without going back station a hard look at all your plans. we were ready, keep going forward with everything the way we had it planned. we have to go back and look at it all again. >> lisa: attorney general we are praying for your city. >> thank you for having me. >> lisa: thank you. there remain questions about the terrorist attack in new orleans on new year's day that took the lives of 14 people. as the city recovers, people are asking how did this happen? her answers were joined by fox news contributor and fawrls resident raymond arroyo you were in the french quarter the night of this heinous attack. local officials have said that they did not have the proper
4:10 pm
barriers in place. >> yeah, and that can be blamed on the local officials. whom we will get in a second. look, lisa, we grieve for the victims, their families, my brothers and sisters here in new orleans. many of these people in 20's, one was 18 years old. the chief of police ann kirkpatrick said the terrorists defeated new orleans security plan. but the security plan was to trade out the safety of the sugar bowl visitors this week for that of super bowl visitors next month. and that's the problem. they knew these mechanical barriers were malfunctioning. why didn't you take them out in june or september or august when they there are not so many tourists in town? why do you do it during the sugar bowl when there are just as many people in town as for the super bowl. this is real negligence of the highest caliber. >> what does this all say about the der election of duty? >> well, look, back in 2017,
4:11 pm
former mayor mitch landrieu allocated $40 million, lisa french quarter and heavy equipment to protect crowds against this kind of terrorist attack. the cantrell administration and the chief of police didn't realize any of that equipment existed until yesterday. >> when you go down bourbon, you will see yellow what we call archers, and they are along the sidewalk. and that would be to be preventative, if someone had or if this particular terrorist went around up on the sidewalk, that's what that would do. >> archer would have been -- >> -- actually, we have them. i didn't know about them but we have them. >> raymond: she didn't know about them, lisa. they were in storage. >> lisa: yes. >> raymond: it's unbelievable. >> lisa: she is the chief of
4:12 pm
police. i know heavy equipment. we couldn't get in to go to dinners new year's eve. the barricade blocking bourbon street was literally one car and a road block sign. that's hardly enough to prevent this kind of terrorism attack. this chief of police by the way is a dei instructor for the fbi and she/herself hit two pedestrians in the french quarter over the summer. so this is not serious leadership. this is a cascading effect of pathetic leadership from the very top of city government in new orleans, starting sadly with mayor cantrell who appointed this ms. kirkpatrick who, you know, look, she has her own checkered history, latoya cantrell which we have been reporting on for a long time. >> lisa: tell me about her. >> she is caught up in two federal investigations. one focused on a city contractor who is alleged bribes cantrell with gifts including state
4:13 pm
dinner and iphone the other investigation is looking into cantrell's former body guard and roommates. while he was engaged in extracurriculars with the mayor and city owned apartment. and these are the people who are entrusted with the safety of our city and visitors. i mean, god help us, lisa. >> do you think we will see any leadership changes in the city, raymond? you know, like what are you hearing from, you know, fellow residents? do you think there will be any changes? >> the residents have had it up to here a long time. we had the highest crime rate, carjackings, murders, per capita, it's outrageous. if you look around the town and you heard earlier the attorney general tell you be ready for the super bowl. every street in the french quarter in downtown is ripped up in the midst of repair. it's outrageous that they would do this to the sugar bowl visitors, present them with a city in disrepair and on top of
4:14 pm
it risk their lives by not protecting the most trafficked tourist district in the city of new orleans it's unconscionable, somebody would answer for it. >> lisa: it is. thank you so much. >> thank you, lisa. >> lisa: house republicans united after voting for mike johnson as speaker. so what are the next stepping to implement trump's agenda? we'll analyze that, next. ♪

who now demand that we put the interest of americans again and we will. >> joining me now is wyoming senator john barrasso and senate majority whip. senator, after watching some of the drama unfold in the house earlier, i bet you are glad you are in senate leadership rather than house leadership? >> >> first, lisa, happy new year. president trump and house republicans won by promising to lower prices to secure the border and to make america safe and strong once again from the senate standpoint the first thing we need to do is get president trump's cabinet through the process and confirmed. and then, of course, legislatively work to finish the wall, making sure we have the ice agents that we need at the border. also, working to take the handcuffs off of american energy. and i know the president is going to start doing that on day number one with executive orders. making sure we can go after

issues at the border and american energy and then, of course, start the deportation of illegal immigrants who were here in this country as criminals or as members on the terrorist watch list the damage and the destruction that has occurred to our country over the last four years weak leadership. we were elected to get america back on track. that's exactly what we are going to do. slight majority in the senate and the house, you got a 50 sea3 seat majority in the senate. how is it to whip senate in line to get that ambitious agenda through. >> good thing is we have a speaker of the house on monday president trump will be certified as the president of the united states sworn in. i can't wait that can't come soon enough. majority in the senate.
4:22 pm
53 votes. i was there when they took four desks from the democrat side of the senate over to the republican side which gives us the majority at 53. we are aggressively going to go right away this coming week with hearings for members members of the president's cabinet. he has made nominations. these are strong, tough individuals and with what we saw happening in new orleans, it is critical right now that we get his national defense team in place, his national security team. we cannot wait. we cannot allow to be any gap and we have a lot of work erase the damage done by last administration we are starting this week. >> well, senator, thank you and godspeed for that big agenda. we're looking forward to seeing it get done. thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> donald trump wins the presidency. what started off as unlikely, impossible is now reality. >> as long as we have pride in our beliefs, courage in our

convictions, and faith in our god, then we will not fail. >> lisa: trump is back and thank god for that he is in a much better position to carry out maga agenda than first term in office. republicans won the senate. maintain control of the house. and now we finally have a speaker. judge merchan is trying to spoil the fun. and one last desperate gasp of lawfare he announced this today. that he plans to sentence president trump on january 10th even though there will likely be no jail time, probation, or fine. joining me now is donald trump jr. executive vice president of the trump organization. it is great to have you on this show. i want to get to this tweet from jonathan turley and get your reaction from it. this is what he said on x the steps will finalize the case and allow for an appeal, however

november 5th. that's what he is going to see through. the rest is nonsense from a flailing democrat party that has no moral compass, that has no direction that is not in line with the abuse and mindset of the american people and that's why they lost so overwhelmingly. >> you are right. popular vote. your dad about first time for republicans in 20 years. american people behind him. there is this big agenda he wants to get done to deliver to americans. we got small majorities in both the house and the senate. what would you say to any republican who wants to stand in the way of that agenda and stand in the way of that mandate? >> well, we only have the house and the senate, frankly, because of my father. because he was able to bring some of those candidates across that line. obviously i think we got a lot of great new candidates in the senate and some in the house. they have to get in line and they have to do that. you saw a little bit with that today frankly three seat majority, the speaker done on the second. you have to have that drama.

the reality is we have the house and the senate because of my father because of the mandate that the american gave all of our representatives. time for them to start representing that the constituency that elected them there. you look at what happened, lisa, in the first couple days of the year where have you multiple terrorist attacks happening. that happened because people couldn't get together. they allowed the democrats to steam roll them. they allowed the failed policies of joe biden, kamala harris and frankly the entire democrat party to make america a disaster. that has to stop. the american people voted for that overwhelmingly and they have to get behind my father. his agenda, and most importantly they have to get his cabinet confirmed immediately. none of the rino games. none of the nonsense they are going to play. they to allow him to have the people he wants in the positions to get things done and to deliver for america. >> lisa: you know, don, your family has been put through

>> lisa: welcome back. on wednesday, biden admitted that the new orleans truck driver was inspired by isis. >> mere hours before the attack, he posted videos on social media indicating that he was inspired by isis, especially a desire to kill, a desire to kill. the isis flag was found in his vehicle, which he rented to conduct this attack. >> lisa: but, if you ask biden what he thinks the biggest threat to our country has been over the last four years, well, he would probably say something like this. >> donald trump and the maga republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic. they promote authoritarian leaders and they fan the flames of political violence that are a
4:35 pm
threat to our personal rights, the pursuit of justice to the rule of law, to the very soul of this country. >> lisa: biden even blamed anti-semitism on trump. >> in recent years, too much hate has given too much oxygen, fueling racism, a rise in anti-semitism, also intensified in the wake of recent events that led to the horrific threats and attacks that both shock us and break our hearts. >> and, of course, biden continually said this is what he thought was the most dangerous threat to america. >> according to the intelligence community, terrorism from white supremacy is the most lethal threat to the homeland today. not isis. not al-qaeda. white supremacists. [applause] that's not me. that's the intelligence community. >> it's the most dangerous
4:36 pm
terrorist threat to our homeland is white supremacy. [applause] >> i say wherever i go, stand up for truth over lies. >> lisa: joining me now is alex marlow, breitbart editor and chief, and marc thiessen "the washington post" columnist and fox news contributor. thank you both for joining us tonight. alex, let's start with you. how did joe biden get everything so wrong? >> it's all pander with joe biden. all trying to motivate coalition. this is how he has operated since he became a politician. it's always worked for him. he tried to speak to groups of people, blocks of people. he thought this law that white supremacy is actually the greatest threat to our homeland would motivate certain groups, minority voters in particular. it didn't work this time, thank god. a lot of those voters ended up moving towards donald trump because it's so condescending and such a pander. for years and years, decades even biden talking this way had worked for him.
4:37 pm
thankfully, thanks to alternative media, et cetera, not working this time around but all of cynical politics where it starts and ends with joe biden marc as he concocts fake terrorism he has ignored the real threat happening. since he has taken president isis-k and suicide bomber kill 13 service members. left a billion dollars of equipment in afghanistan to the taliban. you look at syria right now after assad fell we got terrorist rebel groupings taking over. look at what happened with the hamas attacks against israel. the list goes on. how quickly can president trump restore order? >> well, he has. to say remember, you mentioned the suicide bombing at the abby gate. you know, biden promised that he would avenge that he said we will find you, we will hunt you down and we will make you pay. three years later is he about to leave the presidency and he didn't do it. nobody has paid.
4:38 pm
why is that? it's because we don't have the capability to hunt them down because we took al our boots off the ground in afghanistan and there is no intelligence anymore. donald trump said he would have kept u.s. forces. he told me he would have kept bagram air base. we would have had a military base go after the terrorist and conduct counter-terrorism operations and carry -- and have intelligence. we didn't do that the other thing is he, you know, we look at the southern border where biden has allowed hundreds of people on the terrorist watch list to speak across the border. after the afghan withdrawal he brought them in on military aircraft. we left our afghan allies who had risked their lives for american troops behind by the thousands but we brought people into the country hundreds of people not put through the biometric data and they had derogatory information on them including fingerprints on ieds in afghanistan who are known terrorists who were brought into the country and they couldn't
4:39 pm
find them. it's not that just people sneaking over our border that were terrorists. they were brought in by the biden administration and let loose in our country and couldn't find them. >> you know, doj and the fbi and the biden administration, i mean, they use this whole white supremacy thing to go after trump supporters as well. we saw what they did with january 6th as well with going after people two seconds in the capitol. the department of justice created a whole new division to go after these people. there was an element of the government behind that as well. absolutely think how they brought the russian collusion hoax on us so long and never relented. insisted this legitimate. exact same people ignored the threat of radical islamic extremism within our midst. these people investigating that neighborhood. that area that mosque in houston american got radical likized. he was posting on social media. joe biden admitted it that
4:40 pm
should be auto clear signal to the fbi look into that. what are they doing? they didn't put up these bollard walls, posts that should have been able to block a trump ramming incident. dereliction of duty by those in charge right now. >> lisa: liz cheney awarded a presidential citizens medal yesterday for her work on the january 6th committee. i want you to watch this and get your reaction afterwards. >> elizabeth l. cheney for putting the american people.

want to support trump for whatever reason but supporting biden keep in mind donald trump is going to take the gloves off on these people. this is a guy who bombed syria twice. who killed soleimani. wiped outs the isis caliphate. he warned the tastes holding american hostages in gaza right now there is going to be hell to pay if you don't -- if you don't release them by the time of my inauguration. i think there is a new sheriff in town and i think the terrorists are going to be on their back heels very soon. >> lisa: thank you. well, there is a report from house republicans accusing her of witness tampering and potentially encouraging a witness to commit perjury so that's what they would like her to be looked at. alex, marc, thank you so much. we appreciate it. how the new orleans terrorists became radicalized. the angle's deep dive is next. you are not going to want toone. miss this. and lost some weight.

i can tell you in my years that the fbi, when you conduct a search warrant, did you go to the location where you're executing a warrant. you conduct the warrant, you get the evidence that you need based on the search warrant affidavit and what you are permitted to take and then you wrap it up. you leave and you are done. i have never returned to a location where i executed a search warrant after it had already been completed. there is a reason for that, obviously. because, once you leave, and you turn the site over to the owner or whoever is in charge of that property, and then, for instance, in this instance, media comes in, and then the fbi says oh, wait, we need to go back. the media has been in there. other people have been in there. there is evidence in there and any defense attorney would say any evidence obtained after that initial warrant, that could be tampered with you won't be able to use that in the court of law. again, in this instance the subject as we know right now is dead no co-conspirator. the fbi has said they acted alone. the fbi has to go through such
4:50 pm
voluminous amounts of evidence. we'll don't know what's going to come out of that evidence. at this point they think they acted alone. if this ever did have to go it trial for some reason and try admit evidence into court that has been, you know, acquired after an initial warrant that, is not going to go over well. i do not understand why the fbi went back and based on the media reports they were going back to gather evidence. that's not normal. >> lisa: it doesn't sound normal. >> paul, i want to get you on this, jabbar's local mosque is telling anyone contacted by the media, it is very important that you do not respond. and if approached by the fbi and response is necessary, please refer to cair and the islamic society of greater houston. why would this mosque not want people to, you know, participate in this, to talk to the fbi and does that raise questions for investigators? >> i'm sorry, politically incorrect. but if you are not going to talk to the media, fair enough they
4:51 pm
may not want to have their, you know, their message or the place mischaracterized. i get that. but to not want to cooperate with the investigators when you have 14 victims here is shameful. that's all there is to it. they should be offering full cooperation. they should be leaning into this investigation this is where we have to get past the pc stuff and not be so worried about stepping on anybody's toes. because we are never going to get the kind of forward pressure that we had post 9/11 to stop this kind of stuff if we worry about this. >> i know a whole host of dei hires. wish we had more time. paul and nicole, thank you for your time tonight. thank you. r.f.k. jr. is ready to overhaul the food industry. how he is going to make america healthy again from a cheches perspective. next. ♪

>> donald trump will be back in the oval office in 17 days. we are all counting. one of his top priorities is making america healthy again and rfk jr. is getting a major endorsement for this agenda. robert f. kennedy jr. is said to have the knowledge and enthusiasm and influence to affect much-needed change in our food system. dreaming i was the chef and restaurant owner. chef, i'm trying to eat healthier and drink less but enough about me, let's talk about your column in the federalist. you talk about how in your 20 years as a chef, you have seen the quality of food deteriorate. why has it deteriorated? >> it's just access to good, real foods, whole foods, local foods. so many of the major food manufacturers have really taken over our entire food system and cut out a lot of little guys cut
4:58 pm
cut out the small farms, the medium-sized farms and have just created this system in which many times the only options we have are these highly processed foods that are quite literally grown in a lab. information ups perspective we are always at the tip of the spear because we are the ones creating the trends and also giving a lot of the rebate money from massive manufacturers and propaganda as well, fake science to push these products on the consumers and then pull a backup on the retail side. it has really been disheartening and what is so funny about it is that i have been pushing this for decades and it has been the left -- this is been one of their major movements. but now suddenly and the past five years this is switched and this is conspiratorial or crazy right wing thinking to talk about actually eating real food and eating whole foods. >> and it's interesting because i see people walking around all the time with make america healthy again. we have seen rfk jr. is obviously a democrat, endorsed trump so it really has
4:59 pm
transcended political lines. what would you like to see rfk jr. do specifically about making america healthy again and sort of untangling this corporate web that you speak of? >> he is already doing the most important thing and that is bringing awareness to these issues. this is a bipartisan issue, food is a great unifier. this not a right or left issue, unfortunately it has been tainted by some trumped arrangement syndrome and regards to the media. however,, one thing he can do is actually cut that supply chain of information from the big massive food manufacturers, the ngos to the consumers. the government needs to be complete they removed from the food system altogether because they have only made us sicker. we need to cut the usda, the fda and make access to real foods, local foods, small local farmers, to mystic farmers much easier to get to from both the chefs and the consumer's perspective. and the government should not be the one making the decisions for what we eat and how we eat. we have the agency to do that ourselves.
5:00 pm
so raw milk has kind of been emblematic of this conversation but there are so many other elements that we can decide upon ourselves. it is our own body and let's move forward from that perspective. >> and it's good for small businesses, it's good for america and her health so hopefully rfk jr. is confirmed as the secretary, i think he will be. and working people check out your restaurants, real quick before we have to go? >> i have calico fish house in huntington beach, california, and you can find all of my cooking videos, american gravy, i'm obviously very active on acts and working with a lot of local small farms around the country. you can find those farms that i promote on xp because those are the people that really need to help. >> chef, i appreciate it, thank you for joining us tonight. and i have always followed his recipes, i retweet them, try to follow them but we're getting better. that's it for us tonight, i'm in for laura ingram, thanks for watching this special edition, "jesse watters primetime" takes from here. ♪ ♪
