9:00 am
could be talking about crippling ice. anywhere between about a quarter to a half inch of ice is going to coat everything in its path. i'm talking about a sheen of ice, especially for places where i'm standing. these stairs, they're going to be incredibly dangerous within the next one to two days. we will be talking about how roads are just going to turn into ice rinks and sidewalks will be very dangerous. unfortunately, we'll be watching as millions of americans will be impacted by the storm in one way or another and also, the fact that it's going to have a major impact on air travel as well. david. david: indeed it will. snow on top of ice, you don't want to be driving in that kind of weather. kendall, thank you very much. appreciate it. that does it from here. fox news live continues with griff jenkins and molly line. have a wonderful new year, folks. griff: president-elect donald trump blasting the decision by judge juan merchan to set
9:01 am
sentence are for his case january 10th, days before trump will be sworn in as the 45th president and he rejected the request to vacate the decision. welcome to fox news live, i'm griff jenkins. molly. molly: i'm molly line. we'll have more coming up. we begin with officials in new orleans now revealing more details about what the new year's day terror suspect did leading up to that early morning attack that killed 14 and injured dozens more. this, as questions grow for local leaders on what preventative measures may have been missed. jarrett tenney is live in new orleans with the latest developments. >> yeah, molly, we've learned that the suspect made his way to new orleans from houston on new year's eve and when he got here, he spent some time at an air bnb before carrying out his attack. inside that home investigators
9:02 am
found bomb making materials similar to what he found in his home in houston and found a homemade device they believe was a silencer for a rifle. and before shamsud din jabbar left to carry out his massacre, the a.t.f. says he set a small fire to burn the evidence that investigators now have, including several laptops and cell phones. as the fbi puts together a timeline how and when the army veteran has become radicalized, we spoke with them, and his ex-wife, and they're cooperating with the investigation. the city council is pushing for an investigation of its own. city officials had been repeatedly warned in several safety and security reports commissioned by the city in 2017 and then again in 2020, that the french quarter and bourbon street in particular was vulnerable to a terror attack, specifically one using a car. members of the city council say
9:03 am
they were never told that those reports and didn't know about those recommendations that barriers should be immediately improved until this week when they saw it on the news. louisiana's attorney general is also calling for city officials to be held accountable. >> angry, since i got elected lt. governor we have been fighting with the administration to make the french quarter safer and lack of leadership from the top on down to know those barricades were taken out with new year's and the sugar bowl, is unacceptable. >> we've also learned that the first of what could be many lawsuits against the city will be filed this next week. the law firm behind the suit says the city's, quote, negligence paved the way for the tragic events that unfolded and called their terror attack both foreseeable and preventible. you've also seen the new yellow barriers the city put in place
9:04 am
before reopening bourbon street which are designed to prevent this very kind of attack and the city apparently didn't know it had available until later on wednesday. the ceo of the company that makes those barriers tells us, even now, they are not installed properly. that if a car came up and ran into those, they would not fully stop the vehicle as they're designed to do. he says he has been trying unsuccessfully to get in touch with the city to let them know what they need to do to get them set up the right way and to make sure that this area is secured. so far, he has not been able to do that, molly. molly: perhaps adding to that, thank you for your reporting griff. david: . griff: we're learning more about the cyber truck explosion in las vegas on new year's day and some of what the bomber left in a cell phone app.
9:05 am
the latest on those stories, hey, christina. >> federal authorities described the man who blew up the cyber truck as livelsberger of colorado springs. it appears to be a tragic suicide involving a highly decorated combat veteran who was struggling with ptsd and grievances. and they believe he shot himself in the head before the explosion. an army ranger who knew livelsberger, shared his thought on the tragic situation. >> the guy was a great dude. he was fit, he was a good shooter, he was good communicator. he was a talented green beret and sounds like everybody liked to work with him. so, none of this makes sense and it's so heartbreaking. i truly hope that, you know, this is a wake-up call for service members to make sure
9:06 am
that we're checking in with each other right now. >> even though authorities say livelsberger blew up the tesla in front of trump's hotel in legislation, they do not believe he had any animosity toward the president-elect. authorities say that livelsberger left behind notes on his phone giving insight into his mind frame and a possible motive. during yesterday's press briefing they read off some of his writings. >> you can read a couple of the excerpts, we are the united states of america, the best country, people to ever exist, but right now we're terminally ill and headed towards collapse. this was not a terrorist attack, it was a wake-up call. americans only pay attention to spectacles and violence what better way to get my point across than a stunt with fireworks and explosives. >> several people suffered minor injuries from the explosion and authorities say it could have been worse if the steel-sided vehicle didn't absorb so much force from the blast and they say that this incident was not connected to the terrorist attack in new orleans as they continue to look into livelsberger's notes
9:07 am
and critical evidence as part of their ongoing investigation. . griff: christina coleman live from the west coast bureau, christina, thank you. molly: thanks, griff. for more on both of the new year's day attacks, we're joined by former secret service special agent, charles moreno. we're learning more information per the authorities regarding the individual, livelsberger out in las vegas, a little bit of info on his motivations potentially ptsd, some family problems and in his words, the explosion was a wake-up call and not intended to be a terror attack. your thoughts on what we're learning about the suspect? >> i think in general for both las vegas and new orleans, the lesson learned here is, you know, what's this pathway to carrying out an act like took place in both of the cities and
9:08 am
why didn't either one of these individuals come to the attention of law enforcement prior. now, they're going to look at both places, the pathway to carrying out this attack and the interactions and the activities into the leadup into the attacks and do a deep dive, a due diligence investigation on each of these individual's lives and their interactions and possible motives. we're getting more information about that right now, but it's why is law enforcement having such a hard time picking up on these and why aren't they being reported or discovered. molly: yeah, and charles, there are some similarities between these two attacks, a great many differences as well, particularly the new orleans attack that seemed to be intent as the police chief in that area talked about maximum carnage intend today harm people and he had posted videos online and classic markings of someone who is inspired by isis, but there are some other
9:09 am
similarities and they're looking into things. take a listen. >> we've identified no telephonic or communications between the individuals, that they knew each other that served in the same unit, assigned at the same place and same time and interaction and no witness interviews have corroborated or provided any information that the two events were connected in any way. molly: so despite the fact that these happened on the same day that spencer evans, the fbi special agent having talked about, to prove any sort of link. your thoughts? >> yeah, so far the link analysis to try and exploit any commonalties between these two cases have come up empty and they will continue to exhaust that. these investigations will continue to go on as the city of new orleans, for example, plans to host a large event being the super bowl, which goes well beyond just the day that the game is played, but
9:10 am
extends to the week prior, so essentially, the entire city of new orleans is going to become one gigantic special event tied to the super bowl. molly: yeah, there were major concerns. just taking a quick look back at what happened in new orleans. i want to ask you, it seems like the police had argued that the suspect had evaded things they had put in place. he not only managed to drive a vehicle up onto bourbon street and drive down that street, he also, in the hour and two hours prior managed to place ied's in this area where there were supposedly 300 additional cops on duty. your thoughts on his ability to kind of scout the scene, place the items, get to his truck, your analysis? >> yeah, the fact that the suspect was able to do exactly what you described and then follow through carrying out the attack indicates that this was an extremely soft target and that the outer perimeter was
9:11 am
not sufficient enough to either detect, deter or disrupt a terrorist attack from taking place. it's inexcusable to say we put a plan in place, it was effective until it wasn't. that doesn't pass the muster test. the outer perimeter has the to be the first ring to stop these types of threats, including vehicles being used as a mass casualty weapon. the intelligence on this has been known for decades. so regardless if the city had an independent study, those independent studies had been reinforced by dhs intelligence, bulletins, fbi intelligence, bulletins that this was a preferred method of attack by major terrorist organizations, including al-qaeda and isis. so, the outer perimeter should have addressed the threats and it's time that the resources and the security planning for all large events rise to meet the level of the threat and stop those. molly: all right, charles, some
9:12 am
great points, you mentioned a soft target and many events in the coming weeks and months ahead and greatly appreciate your insights and analysis, griff. griff: great conversation, molly. meanwhile, president-elect trump spending the weekend at mar-a-lago after successfully pressuring his party to preserve mike johnson's speakership. nate foy is in west palm beach with more. >> hey, griff, just over two weeks until inauguration day and president-elect donald trump is giving him the best chance possible to implement his agenda starting on day one and he did that yesterday by uniting republicans and speaker mike johnson in his reelection. there were several republicans that had rest are evaluations about mike johnson and trump addressed those in between golf shots while playing in palm beach. >> president trump was hitting a five iron about the time we talked. what he said, we had a very
9:13 am
good discussion how to advance the trump agenda. that's what this was all about. because he's going to face a lot of pushback in the senate. once you start talking about cutting the bureaucracy, controlling spending, he's going to have pushback. >> so trump posted on truth socially after johnson's reelection, quote, congratulations to speaker mike johnson for receiving an unprecedented vote of confidence in congress. mike will be a great speaker and our country will be the beneficiary. trump's cabinet picks will soon face confirmation hearings starting with defense secretary nominee pete hegseth in 10 days, tulsi gabbard, and they need to be confirmed quickly to counter threats like we saw in new orleans this week with the terror attack. trump continues filling out his administration, naming morgan ortega for the middle east
9:14 am
envoy and tammy bruce for the state department. and trump is getting ready for a victory rally on the eve of inauguration day on washington d.c. at capitol one arena, which seats roughly 20,000 people. that rally will happen on january 19th and then the next day, trump will be sworn into a second term in the white house. we'll send it back to you, griff. griff: nate foy live in west palm beach. thank you. >> in for more on the start of the 119th congress, and the trump agenda ahead, let's bring in now south carolina congressman and member of the house foreign relations committee, joe wilson. thank you for being here on set and i know all of your colleagues are gathering at a republican retreat. you took the time to get mere. here. and 119th congress, you have the narrowest majority, i think
9:15 am
the second narrowest in 100 years, yet, we saw speaker johnson prevail it was at least, a statement was made by a few holdouts. how do you see things going? are there going to be bumps in the road ahead? >> griff, i'm grateful to be with an ole miss rebel. and indeed, i want to give president trump credit. he's brought us together and we had success on mike johnson on the very first ballot. there was prognostication of chaos, but it's a policy conference and so exciting to be there with john thune, the republican leader of the senate. working together, and we're looking forward to being on the trump team. it going to be mike johnson, john thune, it's going to be the house, senate, working together with the president for the trump agenda. griff: you know, we heard from your colleague, representative there in nate foy's reporting. in the end, a little more
9:16 am
congressman had to say about why they initially held out and what that was all about. take a listen here. >> we needed to get the attention of the american people that we are going to be behind the trump agenda going through congress. we have got to do a better job, that's what it was about. how, president trump and i, to answer your question, we had a very good discussion. he understood my concerns. griff: so the point there, congressman wilson, he says we need today get speaker johnson's attention. what do you make of the fact that even though you guys passed a new rules package moving the motion to vacate a speaker from one to nine, will there still possibly be challenges from this group that is trying to, quote, get speaker johnson's attention? >> i have absolute faith in speaker johnson's capabilities of getting our team to work together, and indeed, we'll be
9:17 am
working together because we are promoting together as keith just pointed out, the trump agenda. we agree, it's just, i think how we get there and i believe we will get there, with the trifecta of a republican house, republican senate, and then in two weeks, thank god, donald trump is president. griff: congressman, let me switch gears. having the opportunity to have you on set, you have long been involved with the house foreign affairs committee. >> yeah. griff: we saw this horrific new year's day attack, isis it appears inspired. how concerned are you as you broaden the map in the global challenges that the trump administration will face, how concerned are you about the reemergence of isis in places like syria? >> again, we're fortunate with donald trump, it's called peace through strength. he was the one who decimated isis. we know that during his four years that we had peace through strengths and that will be so beneficial, obviously, to the people of israel, to the people of ukraine, to the people of syria, as he's working with
9:18 am
turkey and saudi arabia for stability in syria. and then all of us will be working together for restoration of democracy in the republic of georgia. sadly, there was a rigged election and, hey, donald trump doesn't like rigged presidential elections and so, really, it was correctly the president of georgia, but sadly, has been replaced by a putin puppet. in fact, i've invited that president to be a guest at the inauguration at donald trump, the bottom line-- >> will she come? >> she, she'll wonderful. i've extended the invitation as a guest and i'm honored. i've got the speaker of the house of representatives from the philippines coming, ambassador from bulgaria coming and traditionally i've invited foreign guests to come and celebrate a trump victory. griff: so our viewers understand who may not have
9:19 am
been follow the news, in october the country of georgia has had elections and replaced by a pro-putin government. and just in that country we saw protester demonstrating and you have talked about the influence the not only russia, but what you call an axis of aggressors in a challenge that the trump administration will face. what is that? >> well, and clearly, griff, what we've got is an axis of putin working with the chinese communist party and the regime in tehran and all of them working with the billionaire who has rigged the elections in georgia. again, hey, donald trump doesn't like rigged elections for president and he, i'm sure, will realize there's a rigged election and that needs to be corrected. the people of georgia are so brave like the people of
9:20 am
ukraine and one day like the people of iran. griff: thank you for being here and raising that topic that isn't getting as much attention. appreciate you bringing that up and we'll continue to follow that. >> again, what a great week to have, with the president's help, mike johnson become speak are of the house of representatives. god bless america and god bless donald trump. griff: we'll see where it goes, congressman, thank you. molly: fascinating interview. in less than a week, president-elect trump will learn his sentence in the new york criminal case after judge marchan denied another request to dismiss that case. cb cotton is tracking the latest for us. >> presiding judge marchan did uphold donald trump's felony conviction and now he'll be sentenced 10 days before his presidential inauguration and must appear either in person or virtually. trump's legal team now also knows that jail time is likely off the table after marchan
9:21 am
said he's inclined trump to what is called an unconditional discharge which would allow the conviction to stand without trump being locked up, fined or having to serve probation and the sentence would give the president-elect the chance to appeal. trump was facing up to fewer years in prison after a manhattan jury convicted him last may on 34 counts of falsifying business records in connection to a hush money payment made to adult film star stormy daniels leading up to the presidential election. president-elect trump indicated this morning on truth social that he'll appeal that with the last presidential election, i want to point that out. and president-elect trump noted on social media that he would appeal his conviction and slamming the entire case, i never falsify business records, it's a fake madeup charge by a corrupt judge doing the work of the biden-harris justice department. in the leadup to the 2024 election, trump faced four total criminal cases in four
9:22 am
different jurisdictions. republican u.s. congressman mike lawler argues this hush money case was one of them that helped trump win over voters. >> i don't think anyone did more to help elect donald trump president of the united states. >> good point. >> than alvin brag and tish james in both cases you had two rogue prosecutors who decided that when they were running for office that they were going to go after donald trump. >> so marchan noted in his latest viewing, that he's revi reviewing. >> thank you. griff: the state funeral for former president jimmy carter begins today. we'll take you live to atlanta next. help fuel today with boost high protein, complete nutrition you need, and the flavor you love. so, here's to now...

9:35 am
and when asked again, he did not answer. the president biden and the first lady are off to new orleans on monday to pay respects to the families. griff: why would anyone ignore lucas tomlinson with important questions. lucas tomlinson at the white house. >> where do they come from? >> actually we had them, i didn't know about them, but we have them so we have now been able to -- 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 go somewhere else. so we have this, we're going to implement it and end of story. molly: more details coming to light about the terror attack in new orleans this week. this as the city will soon face a lawsuit from a survivor claiming the city was negligent in preventing the attack. for more, i'm joined by new
9:36 am
orleans city council member joseph, thank you for joining us, i know this is a very challenging time for your community, particularly as they wrangle with potentially how this could have been prevented and the grief that for many people will simply never end. how is your community doing and what's your response there? we just saw the police chief talking about yet another measure that existed that potentially could have been taken that wasn't. your thoughts? >> i think everybody's still wrestling with the aftermath of what happened. obviously, knowing now that this person acted alone has been one of the biggest sighs of relief. we're really concerned whether or not there was going to be more attacks and having the sugar bowl go off without a hitch, i think allowed a lot of people to breathe a collective sigh of relief. as far as the question about what the police chief said, many of us feel the say way, but there's a balance here. the balance is the ultimate direct cause of what happened is this terrorist and let there be no mistake, this was a terrorist who committed a
9:37 am
heinous act in new orleans on canal and bourbon street and now we're going to go look at all of the measures that need to be changed both as we go about the things that we normally do, like mardi gras that's coming up in march and personal as we prepare for the super bowl in february. molly: understandably people would be concerned about their safety. and given the fact that analysts looked at what could have been and should have been, and now there's a lawsuit underway filed against the city of new orleans and the police there. and here is one excerpt, the evidence will demonstrate that the act of terror perpetrated by shamsud din jabbar was both foreseeable and preventible. jabbar exploited the nopd's gross negligence resultening new york act that's now etched in the archives of our great city's history. your response to the lawsuit? >> i take issue with sort of the way that it's being framed
9:38 am
right now. i think history has shown us repeatedly whether it's in america, on european soil or anyplace that is a free and democratic nation. if somebody is willing to give their life and sacrifice themselves in order to do something, then they're going to do it. let's not forget jabbar burned his house or apartment that he had after he destroyed evidence, ied's that were in place he was prepared to either launch, we don't know whether or not he tried to do it or there was a failed attempt or didn't get to doing it. so bollards on bourbon street would have nothing if those went off. and that is not so say that we should not look at things to be done. and your local fox affiliate reported effectively the city had on the website that the bollards were down and the replacement were going to be, don't know we want to be providing people with a play book how to do something when we're trying to promote safety.
9:39 am
i think those are things that are going to be scrutinized in the coming days, weeks and months. molly: yeah, it's interesting you mentioned the ied's. he was able to get there and essentially scout the scene like anyone who could have walked around that evening and placed those ied's well ahead of the actual vehicle attack, an hour or plus ahead. do you think that could potentially add to this lawsuit and do you think the city and the city leaders did enough ahead of what turned out to be a really horrific night? >> well, look, i think there's always room for second guessing and hindsight's 20/20 and i appreciate everybody has to ask these questions, which is why we're going to look into everything that was done and what could be done in the future. i think your ied question is a good one that i haven't heard as much particularly while the focus has been on the bollards. what are we going to do if somebody leaves an ice chest for if your audience doesn't know, how long are we going to
9:40 am
do if somebody leaves an item on the streets and how long, and sweep those things. is that nopd's responsibility or state police, or somebody else's? those are part of the questions that have to be asked and really, as we get ready to go into the super bowl and as we get ready to certainly go into mardi gras, this is really an inflection point for us to reevaluate all of this. molly: joseph giarr u.s.s. o, thank you. your points about the super bowl and many great events in an entertainment city, great points, thank you for being with us today. griff. >> thank you. griff: molly, how democrats plan to recalibrate their resistance to trump in his next term. it's time. yes, the time has come for a fresh approach to dog food. everyday, more dog people are deciding it's time to quit the kibble and feed their dogs fresh food from the farmer's dog.

9:46 am
to lower grocery price, to help people be able to afford their homes. and those issues, we should be working together and what the american people want us to do. i think yesterday, unfortunately, were indicative of the tensions that the republican caucus finds itself in by the way, not unique, but times the democratic caucus has found itself, too. right now democrats are united and i think mike johnson's got a very tough row ahead of him as he tries to bring his caucus together. they're a meeting today and i think that's good. i think that democrats are committed to fighting for the people we represent addressing the issues that we want and we can do it in a bipartisan way, we will. griff: congresswoman are they going to fight at every turn against republicans and the republican agenda, trump's agenda, whenever we say, that one of your colleagues, i believe we have the sound, congresswoman said that, look, we're not helping the
9:47 am
republicans in any way. take a listen here, congresswoman. >> they have all three chambers now. i don't think they should expect democrats to come out and bail them out, unless there's agreements with us, they're not voting from us. >> let's be clear what she was talking about. there was a negotiated budget deal at the end that everybody gave, that people compromised, compromise is not a dirty word. put out there and they walked away from it. democrats agreed to come to the table, help get it passed. we are not going to be there if a deal gets cut and you walk away from it, so we've got to know that anything you're even talking to us about -- and by the way, his republicans are telling him they doesn't want democrats voting for the budget. griff: did that hurt johnson? did johnson's street cred as it will, reputation suffer because of that with democratic
