michael willis is a professor and program director at tulane university, a private research institutions, louisiana. he's been telling us about why there was confusion earlier at about whether to characterize the incident as terrorism. prof. wallace: law enforcement are trying to figure out who this person is, why he did this, what social media did he have, you know, what was the flag that was on the back, it actually is a flag. black does indicate islamic state. you have these things that could indicate something but then again could not pierce a law enforcement is very hesitant about calling something even domestic terrorism or foreign terrorism. politicians you see will use the word terrorism a little bit more freely, but law enforcement, they usually, they want to do their investigation before they make a decision like that. the fact that fbi's lead agency indicates this is a terrorist attack is because the fbi is a lead agency for investigating terror attacks, and, you know, again, what i've seen so far, and, again, preliminary reports, i would suspect this is a lone wolf style att

laura: jonathan walsh is a homeland security and counterterrorism expert at tulane university.n: no longer do we have, you know, sort of these large actors like al qaida or isis. we have these individual people who identify one way or the other. and that's just something that's very challenging to adapt to. laura: there are now barriers on the sidewalk that weren't there before. is that something that you think more cities need to replicate? jonathan: having having those archer barriers is something that that lots of cities can do. it's just a matter of what can we do to make bourbon street on new year's eve more secure so that the attack doesn't occur there. and that's really the terrible thing about security planning, is that the dedicated adversary, they're going to shoot their shot. what you're trying to do as a security professional is to make sure it doesn't happen at your facility, in your street or in your city. so that's that's always the challenge. laura: city councilman jp morrell acknowledges that the new year's day attack will forever change the city's relationship

a shout out to my former tulane student, ali vitali, who has her own show on msnbc. >> 5:00 a.m.orrow. >> i am generally up at that time anyway. i will get a chance to watch it. >> don't you appear on the first show? should we book you? are you ready to get up? >> so, let's go back and what i think the democrats should focus on a limited number of things that have the following criteria. there must be massively popular all across the democratic party. secondly, there must be massively popular across the united states. among republicans, independents, everybody else. third, it has to be something the republicans can't beef on. so they can't beef for raising the minimum wage because people won't let them. the financiers won't let them, billionaires won't let them. protections for women in roe v. wade because that's part of who they are. then they can't beat for tax cuts people make $400,000 a year and take that money and use it ho help young people buy or rent a home. this is 75% popularity stuff. all we have to do be there and hammer it home. and like i say, three things. popular

the level one trauma center run by the medical school and tulane medical school. got lots of physician all the time ready to run. if there are those with lesser injuries and the level one trauma center is full, they'll send them to the other hospitals. but they're great hospitals. one is prepared to accept people. i don't know if people went there. my point being there's adequate capacity to take on even such a terrible incident as this. and lastly, somebody pointed out, a lot of people are sleeping late. maybe stayed out too late. if you're not hearing from your loved ones, it is not necessarily that they're involved. probably not. it's more likely they're sleeping in after staying out late. but still, i can understand everyone's concern. >> lot of people waking up to heartbreak today. as you mentioned, may not even know this has occurred yet, as it begins to unfold. the fbi has been very boldly, within just a few hours of this unfolding, acknowledging they're investigating this as an act of terrorism. they're in this iconic location. all of america is familiar w

. >> i am a tulane graduate and lived in new orleans for many years, seeing bourbon street as quiet as it is is stunning. you're right to point out it reopened to the public yesterday, but of course, there's questions about how this attack unfolded specifically, around the security concerns and you're right to forecast what's coming next. i mean, mardi gras is an event that takes place throughout the city of new orleans, of course, you have the super bowl as well. talk about the security concerns that exist now and how they are looking to the future. >> reporter: yeah, and look you know this i group up in new york and the only sometime i saw bourbon street this empty is after katrina a natural disaster and now it is empty again. we have seen a few people out and about but not the revelry you expect that you normally see really at all hours on bourbon street. and so, what we know about the security moving forward is that they have worked on a plan and have been working on a plan, obviously, for the super bowl which comes up first, and they extended that security perimeter around the sup

joining me is james carville, professor from our days at tulane, so, professor, thank you for joining>> ali, you have to ask professor about that. >> thank you. i wanted to get your take on what we saw yesterday here in washington, all the living u.s. presidents together for the funeral of president jimmy carter. your reaction to the trump/obama moments, the other things we saw and were reacting to. >> my reaction is for people to get along in american politics, somebody has to die, which is, you know, probably not the best situation. we have -- it was a very dignified, one of the things that the nation does quite well is bury its presidents and i thought it was appropriate and i think by some expectations normal presidents get along and are friendly to each other and that did manifest itself somewhat yesterday. >> it manifested itself yesterday, and it felt at times there were warnings being given during the eulogies about violence or dangerous rhetoric in american politics and so even in these moments of bipartisanship, doesn't it also feel like there is still very much a trump fact

the study from tulane university, some people who drink coffee in the morning had a lower risk of dying from heart disease at a lower mortality risk. then all day coffee, consumers. but the research could not prove whether coffee was the sole cause. some bad from the new york stock exchange. i'm jane king. back to business. how much going to be really helpful if 71 to do right now. still ahead on the kron 4 morning news. >> a crackdown in the south bay on unhoused people who park rv's along the streets. we're t pete g. writes, "my tween wants a new phone. how do i not break the bank?" we got you, pete. xfinity mobile was designed to save you money and gives you access to wifi speeds up to a gig. so you get high speeds for low prices. better than getting low speeds for high prices. right, bruce? -jealous? yeah, look at that. -honestly. someone get a helmet on this guy. xfinity internet customers, ask how to get an unlimited line free for a year, plus a free 5g phone. >> 7.24 is the time right now. and within the half 702, i remember this because you are reading a story. there was earthqu

there's a level one trauma center, um, affiliated with lsu med school and tulane medical school, and they would be on alert. there would be other hospitals that in the in the surrounding area who similarly would be activated. and when this occurs in a mass casualty event, they're trained to look at those people who, frankly, can't survive, who are already dead, those who are critical, they would go to the level one, and those who are less critical, they would go to a not a level one trauma center, the one that could provide adequate care for their condition. new orleans is prepared for this. we have lots of events and mardi gras, super bowls, super bowls coming up, final fours, you name it. taylor swift concerts. and so there is a standard protocol that works, that works. and so i am very confident that the medical, the medical crews across the city were prepared and that the people are receiving all the care they need. >> before we let you go, senator cassidy, i just want to ask. i know i've interviewed you before and you know, you've you've dealt with loss in your own life that we'
