- Every team, every topic, everywhere. This is believed. - Who was he with? Was he by himself? Was he with other people? We need to use the public to FBI, listen to me. We need to use the public to help us in this investigation. - Yeah, and the thing is we, you know, policing is political in many, in many, probably some level in all departments because you're dealing with the mayor's office, you're dealing with police commissioner's office, you're dealing with elected officials, you're dealing with the public. But we've seen in the past, the FBI has been reticent in giving out information, withholding information for like, for all, as long as they possibly could hold on to it without, it would then and it has to be leaked to the public. And you know, that's a disservice to the public because the public, you know, deserves to know. It is, perhaps people are suggesting in the chat and online and I can't verify it, but there may be some sort of quasi-political religious issue going on here as a facet of this act. I agree, it may not be considered a terrorist act under some sort of federal, you know, definition, but this is a terrorist act. He'll be, you know, do you wanna charge it as a terrorist act on a federal level, if the person survived or would you just wanna handle it as a straight murder case on a local level, like they did in, they're doing with the Manjian case or that case in, I think it was Michigan or Wisconsin where the guy ran into the people and the right around the Christmas time, he ran into a group of people with this truck at a parade. So he was tried as a regular murder case and he's doing like life behind bars. But we can squabble over the legal definition and attorneys like me, we love those legal definitions and fighting over how many angels can dance on the head of a pin and what does the word terrorism mean? But the fact is, I agree, he is a terrorist. - Yeah, I mean, it doesn't help anyone when we, you know, we just argue over semantics during an incident where 10 are dead and 30 are wounded and two police officers shot. It doesn't help us to argue over whether this was, I mean, it's sort of stupid to tell you the truth, you know? Let me play a little bit of this from CBS News. I previously served Louisiana in Congress, served as a senior advisor for President Biden as well. I know that you were born in this area from this area represented this area. What are your thoughts for your community this morning? - Well, it's tragic. And I would just say that New Orleans is a city that is bounced back from a lot, but it doesn't make it any easier. You had people out celebrating, planning to bring in a new year with new hopes, new ambitions. And unfortunately, those people's families are getting calls today, telling them that those people won't be in the new year with them. And so you have a bit of sadness and profound grief for those families. I'm sure that you, at least I do, there's of course anger. But it's just unfortunate that we live in a society and this day and age where these events are becoming all too common and the hard part is that law enforcement has to get it right 100% of the time. And the terrorists only have to get it right once. And this is the result of when they get it right and they find a scene that they can slip through and create havoc and turmoil and as much carnage as possible. - What do you know about the type of celebration that would have been going on at this time around 3 a.m. local time at Bourbon and Canal Streets? - Well, the ball drops or the baby drops at midnight and then you have a number of people who are still out celebrating. You have live music, it's an open air festival. But what you also have is people that work in that area that are getting off of work and they're out and about. You have people who actually live in the French Quarter. So it is a combination of hotels, entertainment, homes, and it's our most historic, probably 16 blocks in the United States. And so it hits a nerve and it strikes home when it's Bourbon Street in New Orleans. And think of it this way, our former Congresswoman and Ambassador Lindy Baja's lived on Bourbon Street. Her home was on Bourbon Street. And so we know that there was a massive celebration going on, hence all of the injuries. And so it will damper the celebration, but it will not keep us from celebrating those people who lost their lives, celebrating those people who were hurt and celebrating this magnificent city of love and fun. - So the most important thing right now, of course, is to plan for future events so this doesn't happen again. And not criticizing law enforcement whatsoever, but perhaps it has to be changed where movable barriers aren't even considered anymore in areas where pedestrians meet in large numbers and vehicles. Pedestrians and vehicles do not mix, as you can see here. The other thing is that the investigation here is so, so important. I'm seeing things in the chat and I'm not privy to it yet to verify it, that the truck, the Ford F-150, was seen crossing the border the southern border a couple of days ago. So these are little snippets of the investigation that are leaking out right now, but good investigation takes time. And people usually don't wanna wait for that time.
