Transcript Highlights

The following is transcribed from the video audio:

• We had a very busy schedule last over from New Year’s Day on dealing with two crises, one in Louisiana and one in Las Vegas
• And I’ve assembled the entire defense and intelligence apparatus of the country in the situation room and we’ve been spending a lot of time there
• But I’m going to take another two minutes to talk a little bit about that and then go on to what we’re here for
• I want to give an update on the investigations in the yesterday’s terrorist attacks in New Orleans and the truck explosion in Las Vegas
• I’ve just come from the meeting not just to spend what we prepared these remarks
• I’m a better part of an hour from my homeless security team
• The number of people killed in New Orleans has risen to 15, including the attacker
• Today the FBI briefed me that as of now, no information, we have no information that anyone else is involved in the attack
• They’ve established that the attacker was the same person who planted the explosives in those ice coolers in two nearby locations in the French Quarter just a few hours before he rammed into the crowd with his vehicle
• They assessed he had a remote detonator in his vehicle to set off those two ice chests
