forward from that perspective. >> well, yeah. you know, and it's good for small businesses, it's good for america, it's good for our health. and so hopefully, rfk jr is confirmed to hhs secretary. i think he will be. and where can people check out your restaurants real quick before we've got to go? >> yeah, i've got calico fish house in huntington beach, california, and you can find all my cooking videos, american gravy. i'm obviously very active on x and working with a lot of local small farms around the country. so you can find those farms that i promote on x, because those are the people that really need the help. >> chef grohl i appreciate it. thank you for joining us tonight. and i've also i followed his recipes on x. i retweet them, try to follow them. but you know we're getting better. all right. well that's it for us tonight. i'm lisa boothe in for laura ingraham. thank you for watching this special edition of the ingraham angle. jesse watters primetime takes it. all. >> hello, everybody. i'm joey jones, along with judge jeanine
2:01 am
pirro, jessica tarlov kennedy, and tyrus. it's 5:00 in new york city, and this is the five. after an isis inspired terrorists killed 14 people in new orleans, president joe biden is under fire for repeatedly downplaying the threat in recent years and instead saying this is the greatest danger to national security. watch. >> according to the intelligence community, terrorism from white supremacy is the most lethal threat to the homeland today. not isis, not al qaeda. white supremacist according to the united states intelligence community, domestic terrorism from white supremacists is the most lethal terrorist threat in the homeland. most dangerous terrorist threat to our homeland is white supremacy. >> the white house pressed on biden's comments earlier, but instead just walked away.
2:02 am
>> okay. thanks, guys. thank you everybody. >> consider white supremacy the greatest terrorist threat to the united states. >> gotta love lucas. all right. the backlash comes as the fbi and dhs issued a joint warning urging america's 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 prioritize the right things. >> for four years now, the biden administration has taken its eye off the ball. i mean, they did not prioritize, in our view, the right things. and the fbi was off doing all these various and sundry things, putting their emphasis in their investigations and their eye on, you know, conservative catholics and concerned parents at school board meetings and all these other things. they tried to convince us that the greatest threat to the homeland was racially motivated extremism. >> judge, is it actually white
2:03 am
supremacy or like the speaker says, conservative catholics and concerned parents that the biden administration has focused and turned into what they say is a great threat? >> well, i think anyone who's looked at the news for the last four years knows what the biden administration's agenda is. and, you know, the fact that that they would even compare isis to, you know, the white supremacist as though there's any kind of connection there. and when they're 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. oh, that wasn't terrorism. you know, this wasn't terrorism. but, you know, the white supremacists are the ones that are out there. when we had the pulse nightclub in 2016, san bernardino and 15, a bike path in new york city. we got all that. >> we have all that. yeah, we have them right here. and it's. and we can pull this up, i hope. and it's a big number.
2:04 am
you know, it's a lot. >> yeah. it's a lot. those are isis related terror attacks. and but you know, this is 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's not part of the narrative, then then it's not real. and do you remember this administration came in one of the first things they did. anthony blinken went to the un and said, you have to do a study and tell us how racist we are. i just remember hitting myself in the head and saying, what the heck are they talking about? but these people, there's no reason to compare one to the other, but that's just about their ideology. >> tyrus, you know, in an effort not to go to you first on the race question, you know, and i and i appreciate that. >> but at the same time, i'm offended because that's the world we live in. you know, i always find it funny when a person he's saying white supremacist, a white man saying white supremacy is the problem. i was, but not him. yeah, because he's got his merit badge and he has his blm and his other stuff, so, you know,
2:05 am
but not him. interesting. it's virtue signaling. but it wasn't about that. this was about january 6th. this was about starting to lay the tracks. you can't call a guy hitler unless he has followers. so you continue to build the lay the tracks. you 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, it did not work, but this was what this was about. so 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, things you 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. smoke and mirrors and the american people luckily saw saw through the wizards little curtain. >> yeah. kennedy, i agree with tyrus. and i think that if you're president joe biden and you've pulled out of afghanistan the way he did and said, listen, we have
2:06 am
over-the-horizon capabilities, we can keep an eye on what's going on. when you have your 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 explain why you're not working on these things. >> yes, and pointing the finger is incredibly important, especially when a homegrown terrorist is giving you a roadmap for how to easily kill a bunch of people. so i think accountability and blame are critical in order to keep this city and other cities across the country safe. i'm going to read you a quote from our favorite ann kirkpatrick, 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're 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
2:07 am
safety structures have half assedly been put in place, and they've been put in place wrong. and with that mentality, you don't have to keep anything safe. why have cops on times square on new year's eve? because a terrorist is just going to find a way to kill people. >> you know why? >> why have police at all with that sort of mentality? >> how does she still have a job? >> there should be blame. >> there should be accountability. there should be resignations, and they should have happened two days ago. >> i don't think she's going to have a job that much longer. but it's your turn. >> well, jessica, that that does bring me to this question. isis inspired this attack just hours after this attack happened. you have people here in new york city protesting on behalf of gaza, using every kind of slur and negative thing you can say about jews and israel and this country for supporting them. and the president, that's our president. now, he stood there and told us, hey, we're going to be able to keep these terrorist organizations at bay with our over-the-horizon capabilities. do you not feel a little bit safer knowing that president trump is going to
2:08 am
take over? >> that's a toughie. for a friday. joey, i didn't know that's where we were going. >> just ignore that last question. >> i am going to ignore that last part of that. i'm very good at that. listen, the country is reeling, as it should. this is incredibly scary to know that an american, especially an american service member, could have been persuaded by jihadi ideology to the point that he would go out and do something like this. and i want to learn as much as possible about how that happened, and we'll hopefully get some more competency in managing the new orleans case, which doesn't seem to be on full display. but the reason that president biden and the administration and christopher wray, who was a trump appointee, have been talking about the threat of right wingers and far right wing supremacy, whatever you want to call it, is because that's what the numbers bear out. and we put up all those numbers about how many people had been killed by jihadists. but it's not as many as those who have been killed by white supremacists. so the new america foundation
2:09 am
has done a breakdown in terrorist attacks since nine over 11. it goes through 2023. we have to add the 2024 numbers once they're available. but you have 134 killed by far right wingers, 107 killed by jihadists, 17 killed by misogynists or incels, 13 killed by black separatists or nationalists, and one killed by a killed by gang members. >> i mean, that's got to be on the list because that's a phenomenal by illegals, you know, let's add to the list. >> those are i wonder how many of those killed by white supremacists were killed in prison. >> yeah, suicide. >> i mean, because oftentimes they. >> how many people fell off an ice cream truck? >> i don't know, you brought the numbers up, but you're countering the numbers that are very obvious. >> no, we're not from terrorist attacks. yes, they have their definition of a terrorist attack. they have the ideologies behind these terror attacks. i am not here to minimize any. you do? no. great. we'll tell the rest of the tape you're minimizing. yeah, i'm just saying that the numbers don't, but it does. >> the argument holds. >> right. okay. then you should
2:10 am
speak to the new america foundation. >> i don't think your numbers are accurate, because first of all, you're talking you're talking about a post nine over 11, right? i mean, the numbers that we have is first of all, no, no, is 2015. in terms of isis, these are the only numbers that we have collected. you want to go back to 2011. we can go back to that number. i want to go back. you're saying that the white supremacists have killed more people than isis in american in america, we're talking about protecting the homeland. white supremacist. is it a white guy who kills his wife? >> no, it is dylann roof walking into the white supremacist, walking into the tree of life synagogue. it is someone walking into a walmart looking for latinos to shoot up. that's what i'm talking about when we're talking about white supremacist. okay, so if you jihadists are like the guy who just drove through new orleans. >> okay, but let me i will grant you it is terrifying that a u.s. service member who was discharged honorably is capable of this level of radicalization. we know he went to egypt for three weeks to a month, and that's terrifying. we want to know what happened there. i'm more scared of the
2:11 am
people who are pre radicalized, the people who come into this country easily with an agenda, who want to kill us all. >> those are the people who saying, i'm not. again, i'm not trying to minimize anyone who wants to do harm. i'm just saying to stand here and say that president biden is out of his mind for talking about this. >> johnny, i have a question. >> i have a question. >> what's up next? it's not the end. >> there we go. >> and then it's going to be my block. >> up next, a stunning security failure in new orleans. the city had barriers that could have prevented this attack. they didn't use them. >> not again. you're told is coming. >> your cold is coming. >> thanks, revere. >> we really need to keep zichem in the house. >> only if you want to shorten your cult. when you feel a cold coming, shorten it with zichem. >> if your loved one was hurt in a crash at night or on the weekend, you wouldn't expect them to wait until morning to call you.
2:12 am

2:16 am
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
2:17 am
even know 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
2:18 am
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
2:19 am
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 a president biden hosts a medal of honor ceremony. let's watch. >> this is the most solemn occasion that i 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.
2:20 am
and most importantly, veterans, service members and previous medal of honor recipients. today is the final time as commander in chief, and i'm deeply privileged to honor seven american, seven american heroes. and that's not hyperbole. these are genuine to their core heroes, heroes of different ranks, different positions, and even different generations. but heroes who all went above and beyond the call of duty, heroes who all deserve our nation's highest and oldest military recognition. the medal of honor, first private bruno orwig, proud son of hawaii, bruno joined the army when he was just 19 years old. less than one year later, he was completing a mission in korea.
2:21 am
bruno saw his fellow soldiers were wounded and stranded under enemy fire. without hesitation, he ran out to rescue them, giving his own life to save the lives of his brothers in arms. that's valor. that's the definition of valor. private first class. you know, i think it's incredible when i think of the men and women who've done who've gotten this award. but private first class wataru nakamura, after an attack on pearl harbor, he was forced to live in an internment camp like so many other japanese americans, like my good friend danny inouye, who was a hero himself, put in an internment camp. but still, he signed up to serve our nation during world war ii and the korean war. during his last mission in may of 1951, single handedly, he defended his unit from enemy
2:22 am
attack, fighting until he was killed by a grenade. corporal fred mcgee, a midwesterner, a steelworker, and a gunner. one of the first integrated army units of the korean war, fred embodied the very best of our country. in june 1952, his unit was attacked. they took casualties. they were ordered to fall back, but fred refused, refused to leave until he helped every wounded soldier evacuate. private first class charlie johnson growing up, in the words of charlie's high school classmate, he was a heck of a football player. well, back in 1952, charlie signed up to serve in korea, trading his jersey for a uniform. during one battle, he gave his life to defend the bunker full of his wounded soldiers. his valor saved ten men, including an old
2:23 am
high school classmate, general richard. excuse me, excuse me. cavazos, a young first lieutenant in korea, richard led his men through a difficult and deadly mission in enemy territory. eventually, he was ordered to retreat. but he stayed. he stayed, rescuing wounded soldiers one by one until every one of them was evacuated. richard went on to serve for three decades in the army, becoming the first the country's first hispanic four star general, and captain hugh nelson, citadel graduate, helicopter pilot, and a proud young father. he was just 28 years old when he and his crew were shot down in vietnam. you freed his men who were trapped in the wreckage. then, as the enemy began to attack, he used his body as a shield to protect them. it cost him dearly. it cost him his life. he was commanding officer, called it
2:24 am
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 said earlier, these are my
2:25 am
final days as commander in chief. it's been the greatest honor of my life to be entrusted with the greatest fighting force in the history of the world. we're the finest military in the history of the world. and every day, every day, their integrity, their patriotism and their courage. and to learn these stories of americans like bruno and arturo and fred and charlie and richard and you, ken, americans who have not only fought for our nation, but who embody the very best our nation has to offer. let me also say this today we award these individuals a medal of honor. but we can't stop here together as a nation. it's up to us to give this medal meaning, to keep fighting, to keep fighting for one another, for each other, to keep defending everything these heroes fought for. and many of them died for the ideals of america, the
2:26 am
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, 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 were talking about. we were 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
2:50 am
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 if she talks to them. so she said i
2:51 am
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,
2:52 am
she also gives female cops a horrible name. >> and that's what really bums me out. >> like people like that who fail upward through different departments. and, you know, the liberal city council and mayor's 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 that 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
2:53 am
manifesto that the fbi thinks is legitimate. from leibensperger. >> yeah, i brought up this guy yesterday. his name is sean ryan. i believe he's a former navy seal. he's got a very popular podcast, and i think he was one of the first, if not the first to put it out there. there's kind of some drama going on. like you say, he's going into hiding. if you read the manifesto, i mean, the guy talks about, you know, these drones are basically anti-gravity propulsion. and he goes into some places. and we started yesterday. i didn't want to put out any kind of theory, but i want to say listen. and maybe it's just because i identify with this guy more. he's a veteran, 18 years honorable service. it didn't look like he was trying to make a weapon of mass destruction. it looked like he was trying to get attention and kill himself. it seems to be that that press conference, they substantiated that. and 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 the street killing people, for sure. i work with a nonprofit called boot campaign. there are veterans that that are in places in their minds that are
2:54 am
irrational, and we work really hard to get them back to rational. don't try to rationalize suicide. it's an irrational thing. so you can't add rational rationality to it. but here we are looking at this going, you know, it was january 1st. maybe that was the coincidence between the two, the specific date on the calendar. but are we doing enough to reach people that serve in war and see the worst that we can do to each other? are we doing enough to reach them to stop stuff like this from happening? and the answer is no, no, absolutely. >> one more thing is up next. and if you don't love me now, you will never love me again. >> i can still hear you. >> the average person would rather suffer through team building exercises than look for insurance. the zebra searches over 100 insurance companies for you to find savings no one else can. room for one more. the zebra. we do the searching. you do the saving force factor. >> score.
