coming up next, we're going to talk with former fbi joint terrorist task force lieutenant steve rogers. he's going to give us his thoughts on the two big cases of the day that we're talking about and that's what happened in new orleans and what happened in las vegas. what federal agencies can do to better prevent these radical acts. don't miss a moment of it. you're watching "mornings with maria" live on fox business. (vo) weight loss is changing. for so long, i felt stuck on repeat. i tried, and tried again. lost weight, gained it back. but zepbound means change. zepbound is for adults with obesity, to help lose weight and keep it off. activating 2 naturally occurring hormone receptors in my body, zepbound works differently. it's changing what i believe is possible when it comes to weight loss. it's changing how much weight i lose. up to 48 pounds. and it's changing what happens. don't take if allergic to it, or if you or someone in your family had medullary thyroid cancer or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck. sto

and former member of the fbi's joint terrorism task norse retired naval officer steve rogers. nk you. steve, you listened to the fbi director chris rae sounding the alarm. the border was wide open, he was sounding the alarm. do you worry about our ability now that we're out of afghanistan we don't have the presence in the middle east, do you worry about our ability to pick up chatter about terrorist activity? >> i worry about this every day, treys. the fbi literally failed us in every way, shape, and form. i think today the fbi agent coming out and suggesting this was not a terrorist attack, are you kidding me? for goodness sakes. i'm learning about the fact there's a reduction of human sources on the ground, electronic surveillance. they need to really get their act together and start doing what they did years ago. that's protect the american people first and foremost. >> trace: and chief, to you, i'm wondering we talked about this earlier with our panel but i'm wondering why you believe the initial reaction of the fbi this morning was to come out and say this is not a terrori

former joint terrorism task force members steve rogers joins me now, great to have you again here, stevewe've seen a resurgence of the radical islamic extremism in the middle east. is that contributing to more homegrown terror in the us? >> yes. i believe we will see more of that and this is why the fbi need to step up, get the human resources back out on the streets and the neighborhoods, do a lot more electronic surveillance and because of the introduction of dei that has been secondary to their mission to protect us. you will see a lot of radicalization and a lot of communication between people in this country who don't like our country and organizations like isis. ashley: the suspect posted videos on facebook before the attack and it looks like he was radicalized online. why do we have 0 intel on him do you think? >> that's a great question. i believe we had 0 intel on him because we said to the american people you see something say something, i'm sure a lot of people saw that but no one said anything to anybody. where are our law enforcement agencies and dare i add where does the re

steve rogers, steve, thank you so much. >> well, thank you. ashley: our pleasure. take a look at these markets. it is of course the first trading day of the new year, and we are moving higher as you take a look at a picture from new orleanss and we're waiting for the fbi to hold their latest news conference coming up in about nine minutes from now and we will go live. in the meantime, we're very lucky to have charles payne with us now. charles, great to see you. happy new year to you, my friend. charles: happy new year. ashley: okay, we look at the markets, we're starting off strong after a bit of a selloff at the end of last year. can we keep the momentum going in the new year? charles: we might be lucky to keep the momentum going today; right. it's one of those sessions, ashley, you know, you wake up, see the futures look higher but there's not any real news per se. i'm somewhat concerned about the way we limped out of last year all though historically we've had the years early december and made big highs and come off the way we did with so many days, not just th

daniel linskey, and former member of the fbi's joint terrorism task force, retired naval officer steve rogers. gentlemen, thank you all for coming on. steve, do you first, are you worried you listen to the fbi director, chris wray? he's been saying this. he's been sounding the alarm. the border was wide open. he was sounding the alarm. do you worry about our ability now that we are out of afghanistan? that that we don't have the presence we had in the middle east? do you worry about our ability to pick up chatter about terrorist activity? >> i worry about this every day, trace. look, the fbi has literally failed us in every way, shape and form. >> and i think today, the fbi agent coming out and suggesting this was not a terrorist attack. are you kidding me? i mean, for goodness sakes. but i'm worrying about the fact that there's been a reduction of human sources on the ground. electronic surveillance. >> they need to really get their act together and start doing what they did years ago. >> and that's protect the american people first and foremost. >> and chief linskey, to you, i'm wondering,

what makes you you >> you may be captain america but you're not steve rogers. >> you're right.: back here on gma anthony mackey and harrison ford flying on to the big screen together just in time for valentine's day. okay. we have much more on the highly anticipated new captain america coming uppop news. >> rebecca: chocolates and a movie. >> george: i agree. bit of a nonstarter there. following a lot of headlines including the historic snowstorm in the deep south that's bringing the most snow in a century for the gulf coast. florida seeing the most snow on record. more than 2,000 flights were cancelled and 90,000 customers are without power in texas. nearly 8,000 space holders have been recalled because of potential leck trick shock risk that could lead to fire. federal regulators say the power cord could detach and lead to fire. only units with a july 24 or august 24 date are included in the recall. >> rebecca: also netflix is raising prices again. standard monthly subscribers will now pay $18 without commercials up from $15.50. josh allen and buffalo fight for a spot in the

fitzgerald, retired fbi supervisory special agent and steven rogers, joint terrorism task force member. thank you both for joining us. stevelet me go to you, first. i'm struck by what i heard in both new orleans there in las vegas they were slow to say they are both terrorism. don't start with the supposition that it is terrorism and then work backwards from there. i mean, you had an attack in new orleans. it was using electric vehicle. here is another electric vehicle and two -- you know, two incidents there in the morning at the trump tower. are you kidding me? why would that not be the starting point? >> you know, jason, i'm so glad you brought up that point. that new orleans situation yes a tragedy, bring up the starting point about the people that were killed and et cetera. i have got tell you, i was so happy that you said that because why have new orleans. all these politicians running to the microphone for their 15 minutes of fame. what we saw happen in las vegas we saw law enforcement personnel from the fbi the local police, the sheriff, et cetera, at least bring credible information. there was no conflict over the

roger carstens. one of the things i have found encouraging is that steve witkoff, who has that same role as special envoy for the middle east, and adam boehler, who has that role as special envoy for hostage affairs, are working hand in glove with the current special envoys from the biden administration. that we are at this moment is a tribute to how hard president biden and senior members of his administration the cia director, secretary of state, national security adviser have worked for months and months meeting, as you just heard from ruby, meeting with the hostages families, meeting with leaders throughout the middle east, pressuring qatar and through them, hamas pressuring israel to try and make sure that we can get to an enduring cease fire, deliver humanitarian relief to gaza and get out the hostages. this has gone on too long, but there has been relentless, tireless effort by president biden and his senior team to get to this day. >> you mentioned ruby, and i know that you have met with hostage families as this war has been underway. can you speak, senator, to the influence, but also just the un

. >> roger, i don't know if you are listening to the earlier conversation we were having with steve liesmanhifts from 2%, or talks about it in a more range way then to present on the big goal i should say, the target? >> i understand your question. i think the economic logic would be, let's think about this as a range. i was never in favor of an explicit, 2% target, because it is very hard to hit, such an estimate that is so imperfectly hard to measure and hard to manage. economically, the range would be smart. i think the issue is credibility. moving from, we believe in 2%, we believe in 2%, to suddenly now, we have opened up the range, people will scratch their heads and say, if the range was 1 1/2 to 2 1/2, why is the range 3? i think they are in a bind, where logically, theoretically, they should go for a range i think it kind of makes it very hard to move away from this pinpoint estimate. >> roger, real quick, do you think this is aj. powell issue, meaning, down the line, if he ultimately was replaced-- i say down the line, but when somebody else comes into that seat, they can establis

steve. >> i do it once in awhile. >> all right. joining us right now for insights on what the new jobs data could mean for the fed and its rate decisions this year is rogerme what the fed thinks about this number. >> i think the fed thinks about it exactly how you've been talking about it which is good news, the labor market they had feared was softening, appears not to be. challenging news, you know, the anecdote the thought that inflation is going to continue to come down now is very much questioned and i think, as i said the last time we were on, the probability of them getting off two cuts next year dr osh, i'm sorry, this year seems to be very, very mud at this stage. good news is good news and good news is challenging news. >> what about the news that the ten year is now sitting at almost 4.8%? >> i think the so year and the bond market in general is doing what they're supposed to do. in in this market where we're expecting continued private sector demand for credit, continued government demand for credit both in u.s. and around the world, that way that gets equilibrated is higher interest rates. i think that's a reflection of the market doing what
