9:16 pm
had access to steel barriers that could have prevented the terrorists from driving his truck onto crowded bourbon street. >> yellow, what we call archers. and they were along the sidewalk. and that would be to be prevented if someone had. or if this particular terrorist went around up on the sidewalk. that's what that would do. okay. it would slow that down for anyone who thought that they could breach our targets, our yellow archers, where do they come from? actually, we have them. i didn't know about them, but we have them. >> god help us. >> god help us. >> the 700 pound steel barriers that the city has had since 2017 just got installed yesterday before bourbon street reopened. they are designed to stop over 5,000 pound trucks going 60mph. but it turns out the ceo of that company that makes them says that the barriers are still not being used correctly, saying, quote, not only did they not know they had them, they didn't even know
9:17 pm
how to describe them. and even now in the pictures i've seen, the barriers aren't even set up properly because the wheels are still down. and despite not using these preventative barricades, the superintendent is still refusing to take the blame. >> are you upset that you didn't know about those archers? something that would have prevented this? >> it's not a matter of being upset. this is not a matter of pointing blame. anywhere we have this, we're going to implement it. and end of story. >> tyrus, it feels like some of this is about taking blame and responsibility. >> every appendage i have is pointing at you. you are 1,000% to blame for this. this is the problem with she refuses. they just want to pass the buck. it's not on me. i didn't know that. you're the super. you're the head of the police. you're the one who's supposed to keep
9:18 pm
everyone safe. it's new year's eve in new orleans. and you don't think the plan that you put in place that, quote, the terrorists just beat? was it not to put the barriers in? this is when you say, this is on me and you resign because people's lives are changed for 14 people aren't coming home, 35 or 37 or whatever. lives will never be the same again. and people who barely miss getting hurt, people who witness, people who watch people's body parts being picked up off the streets. and your answer is, i didn't know we had them. there should be people fired. this is the problem. and new orleans is a microcosm of just ineptness. the mayor her they're terrible at what they do. they don't think about the people, and all they're worried about with their press conferences is covering their own behind the fact that she could sit there and say, it's not about pointing fingers. your job is to protect and make sure it's done correctly. and if that's not done, whom, pray tell, do
9:19 pm
we blame the terrorists? and bad men do bad things, we understand that. but when you are in charge of keeping cities safe and you make it easy for them, the blood is just not on the streets. it's on your hands to period. >> judge, we've been noticing this over the last couple of days. the stark contrast between how the new orleans team is handling this versus las vegas, which seems to be an incredible example of competency and togetherness. >> can you reflect on the dichotomy? >> you know, that's what i went off on yesterday. i mean, you have what, one second we've got to president biden hosts a medal of honor ceremony. >> let's watch. >> this is the most solemn occasion that i've participated in in my four years. every time we do this event, secretary austin, secretary wormuth, chairman brown. general, it's good to see you. representative case. castro, ryan and takano.

9:24 pm
the ultimate act of self-sacrifice, which it was. and finally, private first class ken david, who was here with us today nearly 55 years ago in vietnam, his company was ambushed by the enemy. ken's lieutenant was killed instantly. then ken himself was hit in the back with shrapnel. but he couldn't and wouldn't give up. instead, he shouted and fired his weapon, the attacking, to attract attention to him, away from others and away from the wounded men. imagine that courage! come get me. come get me! don't get those folks. that's selflessness. ken, i want to say to you that i wish i could say to every man we're honoring today. you're a hero, a genuine hero, flat out, straight up american hero. and we owe you the families of you. let me close with this, i said, as i
9:25 pm

9:26 pm
the ideals of america, the freedom we cherish, the democracy that has made our progress possible. and remember, we are the only nation in the world built on an idea. every other nation is built based on geography or ethnicity or religion, but we are only nation based on an idea. the idea is that we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men and women are created equal and deserve to be treated equally throughout their entire lives. we haven't always lived up to it. we've never, ever, ever walked away from it. today, we must say clearly we never, ever, ever will. now it's my great honor to ask lieutenant colonel anthony leach. excuse me. linsky, the medal of honor, to read the medal of honor citations. and thank you all for being here. and god bless you. may god also protect our troops who are still engaged. thank you.

>> that was president biden awarding the medal of honor to american heroes who served in the korean and vietnam wars. before that event, judge, we were discussing the failures in the new orleans attack. you want to pick up where we left off? >> okay, let me remind our viewers what we're talking about. we're talking about the fact that the superintendent of police in north in new orleans had no idea that they had these particular barriers. 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're not deploying these barriers correctly, and no one's 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
9:50 pm
talk about ann kirkpatrick for a minute or two. ann kirkpatrick, who's a superintendent of police, is the one who said that, you know, she didn't know anything about the fact that the department has had these barriers since 2017. and i say to myself, why wouldn't someone say before new year's eve, all right, guys, what assets do we have to put in place for new year's eve? she didn't even ask that question. but most importantly, she wants to make sure that we're not here to place blame. why? because they're all at fault. ann kirkpatrick, who was let go from the oakland police department and served in many other police departments tennessee, chicago and 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's arrogant about it. why is she doing an individual press conference? remember, the first one was a cluster mess. all right. and now she's going out on her own. anyone will talk to her. she talks to them. so she said i
9:51 pm
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 barriers were not expected to be delivered until early february, so they had the yellow ones in storage, in storage. but she didn't know about it, so they didn't deploy them. this is ineptitude at the highest levels, and her arrogance on top of her ineptitude makes her a candidate for being fired. i think she's di hire, but that's just me. go ahead. >> kennedy. she she hit two pedestrians with her car just a couple of months ago. you know, it's like that's why she doesn't want to place blame. like, you know, she's no stranger to this. she's not only a bad person, she also
9:52 pm
gives female cops a horrible name. and that's a really bums me out. like people like that who fail upward through different departments. and, you know, the liberal city council and mayors like, 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 has conversations with the local homeland security chief who can put these things in place to save lives. because new york times did a deep dive today just a couple of days after. and it shows in 2017 when they got the bollards after the bastille day attack in france, and in 2019, there 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. >> joey, i want to switch gears a little bit to get to las vegas and talk a bit about the
