when you talk to paul paul mauro about the connections other than obvious, here is what he told you. paul mauro. >> paul: it is a concern, what it argues is press conference in vegas may not have been an accident. it was relatively symbolic, no one person speaking for the room, talking to media and american people and that was the distinction we saw. we did not get more from vegas, but you had single-person leadership. kicked it to other people when he needed special information, but one person was running it. >> sandra: the governor just said there will be updates coming in the next few hours and throughout the day. he said he is about to go back to the scene this morning. to paul's point, when this is run at the local law enforcement level, you have the police chief come give updates often and public can hear updates. at the federal level with the fbi leading the investigation on the ground, paul is suggesting there should be more of a point person to come out to the media so it does not lead to speculation. >> lawrence: louisiana press conference was a free for all. that was one o

former washington, d.c., homicide detective ted williams along with former nypd inspector paul mauro. thank you both are coming on. paul, to you first. i know you're in new york city, and a little bit off topic here, that i had to bring it up, because it feels like it's part of a bigger picture here. there are a lot of pro-palestinian protesters in times square tonight, and you wonder if this coupled with the people cheering luigi mangione for shooting the unitedhealth ceo, if it normalizes some violence and leads to somebody from isis going into the french quarter and killing 15 and then brinjuring dozens. >> i would go further. more than normalizing it, it glamorize it. beside on the campus is here last year where the cause morphed into something that was something to aspire to, to get arrested, to fight with the police. it was something they give you bragging rights. they also know, the people doing that, that there's going to be no sanction. because of alvin bragg and some of the other prosecutors we have here, they're going to be right back out on the streets, so there's really n

vegas and new orleans, wore former military, current military, here is what he said about that paul mauro incoming administration needs to look at insider threat. insider threat analysis has been put on the backseat of this administration. we got two people served in the military that were created -- that committed these terrorist acts. we need to really dig down into insider threat in our military and our federal service. insider threat is a big issue, especially in our industry that has infrastructure responsibilities. >> trace: is he right, paul? is it a big issue? is it a big concern? >> it certainly has to be a concern after this. you have two on the same day, whether they ultimately end up being linked or not. those of us who worked counter-terrorism for a long time our major nidal hasan event at fort hood. the reason for that is that was an insider threat. that was picked up, he was on the bureau's radar screen. they had comms between him and anwar al a notorious prosthetic less advertiser and yet another moved on him for politically correct reasons we can't afford that anymore. if

retired inspector paul mauro is standing by. first ted williams is live in new orleans with the latest. ted, thank you so much for being here with us and thank you for being on the ground there. what are you learning from being where you are and seeing this investigation firsthand? >> hi molly and rich. i can tell you the things that we're learning right now is i had an interview with the chief of police this morning. i don't know -- i don't think they're sure whether this person acted as a lone wolf or he had accomplices. they did, in fact, have individuals that they believe was in their sight, meaning law enforcement. they interviewed those individuals and have let those individuals go. so the search is still on as to whether there is an actual manhunt going on here in the new orleans area at this time. >> molly: ted, when you talk about individuals let go, they also talked about a range of suspects in the course of this investigation. do you feel like they are leaning one way or the other? the range of suspects, could it mean

let's welcome retired nypd inspector paul mauro. paul great to have you on.because president trump just ordered the fbi to preserve all records, documents on this for potential corruption probe. what's the corruption here? what do you think is happening? >> yeah this is really developing into something that we didn't see coming. the trump administration has signaled that they were not going to be looking to engage in any lawfare or these sort of backwards-looking investigations, but this looks like they are quite serious about it. when you put them on notice that they better not destroy any records you don't need to be sherlock holmes to see there's an initiation of a probe. liz: but why would you say this is lawfare because he's saying the fbi shut the dei office days before his inauguration. senator marsha blackburn -- >> i'm not saying that it's not justified. just to be clear. you know what i meant by that is the fact they are going to initiate a probe. it is almost certainly justified in light of the fact that if you look at the fbi history over the last
