Fox News guest co-host Tyrus on Thursday demanded that Americans get “results” from officials regarding the bombing in New Orleans, blasting the federal government for its “absolute failure.”
Since the first attempted assassination of President-elect Donald Trump in July, the FBI and Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) have faced increasing scrutiny over their handling of incidents’ involving security. On “The Five,” co-host Judge Jeanine Pirro pressed Tyrus on “how far” online statements from law enforcement should go, after the group discussed how officials had provided limited and conflicting information following the terrorist attack in New Orleans, which killed at least 14 people and injured dozens.
“Well we know they have the capacity to do it because we saw the amount of people that were persecuted and gone after for saying, ‘I don’t like what’s going on in my child’s school’ or someone saying, ‘I don’t trust the vaccine.’ So we know they have the ability to track and stuff like that. There are things you can do,” Tyrus said.
“But like there is a connection with everything and it is failure — absolute failure across the board of our federal government, our federal agencies,” Tyrus said. “Americans are not safe anymore. It’s not just about the fact bad people are always going to do bad things but there was always at least a fear. There’s no fear right now.”
Early Wednesday morning, a driver identified by officials as 42-year-old Shamsud Din Jabbar, plowed his truck into a crowd celebrating New Year’s celebrations on Bourbon Street. Following the attack, Jabbar later got into a shootout with officials and was confirmed to have been killed during the incident.

Tyrus went on to say he believes Americans are angry about the lack of fear from killers, referencing a recent celebration online of alleged assassin Luigi Mangione, who was charged with killing HealthCare United CEO Brian Thompson.
“We’re seeing open online celebrations of a guy shooting somebody in the back. In New York you can push a guy in the subway. Like we just see across the board, and it’s always the same thing no matter where this stuff happens. First thing they say is thoughts and prayers. I don’t want any more thoughts and prayers,” Tyrus said. “I want angry and results OK?”
“I don’t think the families want to hear your prayers when you weren’t paying attention to them in the first place. I’m just saying when it goes — when the connection, to finish my point, is that we’re seeing whenever the president speaks it’s embarrassing OK? He barely stepped out to give us, ‘We’re going to send money. We’re going to send this.’ They should [have] already had [the] money,” Tyrus said.
Following 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks’ attempted assassination of Trump — which injured two people, wounded Trump’s ear, and resulted in the death of volunteer fire chief Corey Comperatore — a task force was created by lawmakers to investigate the attack as questions arose about the lack of security during the event.
Lawmakers held a hearing on the attack. FBI Director Christopher Wray told Congress the agency had “some questions” about Trump’s ear injury, as some in corporate media had also questioned whether the injury was from a “bullet or shrapnel.”
In December, the task force’s final report said that Biden’s DOJ and FBI provided only “limited cooperation” to the House, adding that the FBI had pushed back and failed to provide digital analysis.
