the crowds were huge at new york city's times square for the ball drop and the new year celebration. about 3,000 pounds of confetti rained down on the partiers, who were out there waiting for hours. now the cleanup is underway. people who waited in the rain to see it all said ringing in the new year in times square was worth it. >> i love the crowd. i love the energy, the positive vibes, and i just love new york. >> and everyone said that i shouldn't come, but i don't care. i've never done it, so i really want to. >> i love new york. i love the environment, the city, the people. i mean the excitement. it's worth it all. worth it. >> here you go. the long lines, the rain, the tight security didn't stop people from trying to get a good spot to see everything. hundreds of thousands of people from around the world packed into times square to celebrate. >> well, new year's day is a federal holiday. all banks, government offices, the postal service and wall street they're all closed today. several retailers are also closed, and that includes costco. but many retail chains are open today, s

so what does the nypd do to protect, say times square, from vehicle attacks? >> well, times square is something we call, what, a target rich environment, right? due to the amount of numerous individuals that come to visit, not only locally from all over the world. it's attractive to someone who is willing to commit a lone wolf attack or some sort of terrorist incident. we start from the outer ring almost to enter. we have officers stationed all throughout the world to get realtime information when it comes to any leads or any information regarding possible terrorist attack. we also have our intelligence division. we have officers assigned to the joint terrorist task force. and at the end of the day, we have specialized officers that have anti-terrorism training, you know, bomb recognition. i was one of those officers. i was assigned to the convention at one time. we had to go to bomb school for almost a week just in the recognition of these types of improvised explosive devices. but what we have here right now is a large crime scene which people don't realize.

so i'm here in new york, and i was walking around new york city last night, obviously with times square and the dropping of the ball a tremendous amount of security. i live in philadelphia. you know, a lot of times when there are these big tentpole events, you see garbage trucks and other large vehicles that cities will bring out to to block areas where they know that a lot of people will be, whether it's a marathon, you know, you name it. how difficult is it to secure a place like bourbon street, for example, on a night where there are expected, you would imagine, to be a tremendous amount of people out and about celebrating? >> yeah, it's very challenging, danny. very, very challenging. fortunately, our, you know, law enforcement and particularly police agencies in large cities like new orleans, like new york, like philadelphia, are very good at it because they've had a lot of practice. and you've mentioned one of the most time tested ways of doing that is you block access to the area where you want the crowd to gather, and you can block it really with anything but one of the most eff

times square, you would have these large, robust concrete barriers coupled with even sanitation vehicles to ensure that you wouldn't have a vehicle that would have the ability to penetrate that area, that corner where bourbon street is, where you have the revelers that will be participating in new year's eve, or i should say new year's day, because this was after 12 p.m., new year's day celebrations. so it's very important that you substitute your the accommodations appropriately and that unfortunately, that didn't happen. one of the things that people make mention to when you have these large demonstrations, or i should say large celebrations, is drone traffic. if you had some drones up, it would probably be able to identify or preempt that. there was a potential for a vehicle that was speeding towards the crowd. we mentioned these lone wolf attacks. these are some of the most problematic instances for law enforcement. i give you an example. when we look at mangione shooting, the ceo of u.s. health care, he was functioning and operating by himself. this appears to be one in the same, in

as we did last night in times square. you couldn't get to times square with a truck last night on new year's eve. it would have been very difficult to make your way cles to times square given the event that takes place there every year. the same thing that goes for new orleans. there are certain areas that you know you will get an influx of people. there will be a big celebration. they have to deter as best you can or thwart an incident like this from occurring by putting in place different layers of countermeasures to ensure as best you can that a vehicle or the group of people, someone armed with a gun or something else doesn't make their way to the area to cause damages. >> my colleague tom winter, nbc reporter has some new reporting from three senior law enforcement officials who have been briefed on this investigation who are telling him that federal investigators and local law enforcement are looking into reports or trying to determine if the suspect who was driving the vehicle was also firing a long gun rifle into

hundreds of anti-israel protesters took over times square just hours after that deadly terror attack in new orleans, demonstrators calling for an intifada revolution, this comes as one pro-palestine group in new orleans is planning a procession for palestine on monday. brian brenberg joins me, great to have you here. this is at the very very least insensitive, is it not? brian: it goes beyond insensitive. within hours of a murderous terrorist attack these people go to times square to protest, they celebrate evil. that's what they do. they love disorder and chaos, that is who they are. the good thing about all this is in november, america said we are not going to stand for it. we are done with this, done with these people, they don't have the following you think they do, they have no moral standing whatsoever and donald trump is going to put together a national defense team and security team to make sure the stuff they love that they celebrate, get on the streets and hoot and a holler about, that stuff is done and we start to draw a line between real justice and injustice, not the kin

you know, of course, times square that global comparisons would be places covent garden, pedestrians areas of the paris case copenhagen central streets. so there are some areas where no you don't want cars you want something like a free bus service going through those areas. and there are other places where you want to narrow the road, but you want traffic going more slowly. ocean parkway in brooklyn is a good example. you're not going to get rid of the cars there, but we've succeeded with the speed and red light cameras that you don't have people driving through there now at 50 miles an hour. people are going 25 miles an hour. you know that itself in itself is a success. so, yes, most us need to be in a car sometime, but making sure that they are fitting themselves into the streetscape rather than dominating the streetscape is is is the is the goal here. and, you know maybe you hate transit, you hate pedestrian plazas, you hate bike. you should read the book just so that you understand how all of these things came to be. great. let me open it up now for questions from the audience,

super bowl, times square, new york, city, as opposed to say, oh, it is just new orleans.can go with half the measures are one quarter of the measures that you would see in times square or super bowl. is a basically time to go all out for every event, sergeant? >> i believe it is. these people, they are hell-bent on creating havoc and disrupting our way of life. i know it is very expensive. and a lot of municipalities struggled to meet the cost to cover these events. but we do have to keep up a high level of vigilance. speed to you talk about the cost and that goes back to something i said with tudor dixon. this he found the place we heard all these years is not helping everything because you take the money away from them and they cannot repair it barricades or get the training they need or update on training they need to. nypd trains multiple times a year on situations like this. i want to get your thoughts on this, trump will be back and vowing moratorium on federal executions meaning suspects like the boston palmer prime notice. what are your thoughts on this, do you ag

this protest that happened in times square that happen within hours after this person with a isis flagths after israel was attacked october 7th, october 8th on all of the campuses and all the main cities, there were protests not against terror but in favor of tara. and the white house at their and what we need is leadership that says, they don't have a point. there is no room for terror or radicalization. >> ashley: right, but had to be stop this? we see it happen over and over again and it is becoming the norm whether people want to believe that or not. what do we have to do? what does the government have to do and really what does the incoming administration need to do to stop this? >> i think two different things. it needs to stop at home and we need to check on our brothers, sisters, children to make sure they are being raised with the correct moral values that they can. we need to check on our veterans to make sure they are being taken care of appropriately. but at the end of the day, we elect leaders in order to lead to. they look both ways at terrors and victims and say, they bo

times as have many other people. one of the great wonders is we have 30,000 hotel rooms within about a 35 square block area so a lot of people are walking all over the place all the time. it can't be overstated this individual wanted to kill a lot of people and when that happens that it's hard to protect against. there are secure perimeters they can put in place. when the super bowl will be here the security measures will actually be broader, but i think between tonight and tomorrow all federal officials, local officials are working hard to make sure the perimeter is secure. unfortunately when you have such a cowardly act by someone like this they are almost impossible to completely and totally prevent but there are measures you can take clearly to make it harder. i know they working on that as we speak. >> i'd imagine for all the folks traveling new orleans or there now in anticipation things may take a little longer just to get from point a to point b. i passed through times square last night in new york city and there is an expectation of understanding what is necessary to keep people safe under those conditions. >

we also had an incident a couple years ago in times square where we had an individual that suffered a emergency and ran into a series of patrons that were in that area. we wanted to extract as much information as possible and erect this for something like a new year's eve celebration in a place like bourbon street. they had an expectation of thousands of revellers. this is something that we need to roll out. >> thanks for being with us, darren. we're getting to breaking news. sources now tell fox that that truck from eagle pass, texas did not cross two days ago. it crossed november 16. the identification of the driver that crossed the border does not appear to be the shooter. we will get more clarification in just four or five minutes from investigators on the ground. >> molly: the headline there is that the truck changed hands at some point. police set to give an update within the next hour. we're keeping a close eye on that for you.

being a new yorker, working around times square and the new york stock exchange, i could never imagine a scene like that. cheryl: we'll talk about that. but they had moved the steel barriers because they were getting repaired for the super bowl which is coming up in new orleans on february 9th and that's something they're saying was, look, a mistake, you know and he makes a great point that we live in new york city here which is the safest city in the world, the safest place would have been times square on new year's eve. i want to ask about the fbi. senator marsha blackburn and others are coming out and hitting the fbi for the back and forth when the story initially broke. you had the field office leadership in new orleans come out and say this was not a terror attack. the new orleans mayor in that same press conference comes back and says yes, it was and the fbi had to change its tune. and kash patel who is president-elect trump's nominee to take over the fbi, christopher wray said he's retiring, is there a cultural issue at the fbi that you think might need to change and does what w
