Summary

Authorities are slowly learning more about what motivated 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar to turn a truck into a weapon on Bourbon Street in New Orleans early Wednesday morning. The act of terror left 15 people dead and another 35 injured. The FBI believes Jabbar acted alone and, despite being a military veteran, was inspired by ISIS. An ISIS flag was found in the truck Jabbar was driving and in a post on Facebook, Jabbar admits to joining ISIS. Cully Stimson, Heritage Foundation senior legal fellow and policy expert in crime control, national security, immigration, and homeland security, join The Daily Signal Podcast Bonus Edition to discuss the FBI's investigation into the attack. Stimson also addresses the likelihood the attack was linked with the explosion of the Cybertruck outside one of Donald Trump's hotel in Las Vegas.
