David Brody, a Christian pro-MAGA TV host on Real America's Voice, called for a "blanket crackdown on mosques" by the government after two potential attacks on New Year's Day.

Following a truck attack in New Orleans and a vehicle explosion in Las Vegas, Brody spoke to Jonathan Gilliam, a right-wing former FBI agent.

Applauding the FBI for quickly taking control of the investigation into the attack on New Year revelers in New Orleans that left at least 15 dead, a former U.S. attorney suggested the event should heighten Senate scrutiny of Donald Trump's pick to replace Director Christopher Wray.

In a column for MSNBC, legal expert and contributor Barbara McQuade explained the complexities for proceeding with a domestic terrorism investigation and pointed out that Trump loyalist Kash Patel is severely lacking in the type of expertise needed to proceed on a moment's notice.

A decision by Donald Trump and his inner circle to hold what they are calling a "Make America Great Again Victory Rally" in Washington, D.C., the night before his inauguration is being called into question by a former director of Department of Homeland Security.

On the same day that New Orleans suffered a mass casualty attack on New Year's Eve revelers, followed by an explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck in front of a Trump hotel in Las Vegas that is being investigated as a possible terrorist attack, Trump's people announced plans for the rally on January 19th at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C.

Appearing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," ex-DHS head Jeh Johnson told host Jonathan Lemire that the short notice, in light of the attacks, will present a problem for security.

"Let's go back to the idea of this rally that Trump is holding in Washington," Lemire prompted his guest before pressing, "In light of our conversation all morning long, let's talk about security for these events."

After pointing out the inauguration is "designated a national special security event," Johnson continued, "To put in the middle of those two events a very gigantic presidential level rally presents a significant security challenge in terms of resources, manpower, so it's not as simple as just throwing a big party on short notice."

"You've got to put a lot of security in place when you have the person about to become president in this current threat environment, which we just talked about a few minutes ago," he continued. "So I hope the president-elect and his team carefully considered that before they decided to have this large rally."

"I would have thought that some of the very same people that are coming to the inauguration would go to the rally, so kind of, what's the point?" he asked.

In breaking down the coming fight over whether to give House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) another shot at holding the gavel in Congress, Hays said that Republicans would have to suck it up and compromise with Democrats to get anything done given the recalcitrance of so many of their members.

Donald Trump ended his New Year's Day going on the attack after the attack in New Orleans in the early morning followed by a Tesla Cybertruck blowing up in front of his Las Vegas hotel, which together seem to have rattled him as he demanded the CIA become involved in domestic affairs.

Taking to his Truth Social account late in the evening, the president-elect pointed fingers in multiple directions and stuck to his guns blaming everything going wrong in the country on Democrats and the country's law enforcement apparatus.

A Texas man who drove into a crowded New Orleans street, killing 10 and injuring dozens of others, was in a pickup truck that had an ISIS flag on the hitch, Federal officials said in an update Wednesday afternoon.
