A former member of the U.S. Army Special Forces heavily criticized our current “MIA” President Joe Biden over the Bourbon Street terror attack in New Orleans and openly wondered if America can survive until President-elect Donald Trump takes office.
Jim Hanson, the Chief Editor for the Middle East Forum, spoke with Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany, who was filling in on the first episode of “Jesse Watters Primetime” for 2025.
McEnany introduced imagery of a SWAT team outside the home of suspect Shamsud-Din Jabbar, noting that authorities were quite cautious in their approach due to concerns about possible IEDs having being wired inside.
Hanson explained that they are right to be apprehensive, not knowing if other co-conspirators exist, claiming that the attack in Louisiana combined with the Cybertruck attack in Las Vegas appears to be “an organized cell looking to create chaos in multiple locations.”

“That shows the dismal failure of the Biden Administration. Joe Biden has been MIA since the day of his inauguration,” Hanson seethed.
From there, he grew more furious with his commentary.

“Whoever on the Democrat side thought it was okay to have that dementia-addled, barely-animated carcass behind the most important desk in the entire world owes all of us a big apology,” Hanson demanded.
“They have cost American lives.”
Hanson, who has experience conducting counterterrorism, counterinsurgency, and foreign internal defense operations in more than two dozen countries, said the nation desperately needs the leadership of Donald Trump.
But, as many must be wondering right now, he seems concerned about America having to hang on until he can be sworn in.
“When Donald Trump was president, he kept all of these kind of attacks away from our shores. Even as president-elect, he’s done more than Biden has by threatening Hamas, telling them to get the hostages freed,” said Hanson.
Then came the comment on everybody’s minds as we watched these terrible events unfold today.
“We need that kind of leadership,” Hanson said of Trump. “I hope we can survive the upcoming 19 days until we get it.”
McEnany lamented that it would be “19 very long days.”

Jabbar, a 42-year-old U.S. Army veteran from Texas, drove a truck displaying an ISIS flag into a crowd early Wednesday morning, killing at least 15 people and injuring dozens. The suspect was killed in a subsequent shootout with police, and the FBI is investigating the incident as an act of terrorism.
On the same day, a Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, killing the driver and injuring seven bystanders. The vehicle was filled with fireworks, gas tanks, and camping fuel, leading law enforcement to investigate the incident as a possible act of terrorism.
The vehicles used in both attacks were reportedly rented via Turo, prompting speculation that there may be some connection between the incidents.
Will there be more of this leading up to Inauguration Day? Or will more American lives be at risk as the country continues to be leaderless until January 20th?
