THE DOMINOES ARE FALLING. IF WE STILL HAVE MORGAN. I GUESS WE DON'T HAVE MORGAN ANYMORE. ALL RIGHT, LET'S MOVE ON TO OUR NEXT QUESTION. >> WELL, THE QUESTION TONIGHT IS, WHO IS THOMAS DONILON? >> WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE OUR COVERAGE WITH FOX NEWS TERESA PRIOLO. SHE'S IN THE NEWSROOM TO TELL US MORE ABOUT HIM. TERESA. YES, STEVE. >> NATASHA. THOSE WHO KNOW TOM DONILON AND THOSE WHO HAVE WORKED ALONGSIDE HIM. I EVEN TALKED TO SOME WHO TRAVEL IN SIMILAR LAW ENFORCEMENT CIRCLES. THEY TELL ME THE APPOINTMENT OF TOM DONILON IS, QUOTE, A BRILLIANT MOVE. AND HERE'S WHY THEY SAY THAT. THEY SAY DONILON HAS SPENT HIS LONG CAREER IN COUNTERTERRORISM, WORKING FOR THE FBI, THE JOINT TERRORISM TASK FORCE, RUNNING THE NEW YORK OFFICE OF HOMELAND SECURITY. HE WAS A CASE AGENT ON THE 93 WORLD TRADE CENTER BOMBING INVESTIGATION, WHICH, AS YOU KNOW, IS THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM CASE IN THE U.S. AND ACCORDING TO HIS BIO, HE HAS TRAVELED THE WORLD IN SEARCH OF ROOTING OUT EVIL AND THOSE LOOKING TO DISRUPT OUR WAY OF LIFE. HE HAS ALSO WORKED IN SECURITY AT A GLOBAL LEVEL, IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR FOR BLACKROCK AND CREDIT SUISSE. HE TAKES THE HELM AT A TIME OF CHAOS WITHIN THE NYPD, AND ON THE HEELS OF THE RESIGNATION OF EDWARD GIBBON, THE MAYOR SAID HE CHOSE DONILON FOR HIS EXPERIENCE. HE MAY ALSO PROVE TO BE A CRUCIAL RESOURCE AS THE INVESTIGATION INTO CABANA, AND POTENTIALLY OTHER NYPD TOP BRASS CONTINUES. IT'S UNCLEAR WHAT THAT INVESTIGATION ENTAILS, BUT WE ARE TOLD IT'S BEING RUN BY THE FEDS. SO THINKING THE THINKING ON THE OUTSIDE IS WHO BETTER TO COORDINATE? AND THEN ALSO RESTORE SOME CALM. THEN SOMEBODY WHO HAS WORKED FOR THE FEDS. >> HE'S OPEN TO SHARING INFORMATION. HE'S OPEN TO NEW IDEAS. HE IS JUST A PARTICIPANT IN NOT ONLY THE INTELLIGENCE AREA, BUT ALSO IN THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AREA. SO, YOU KNOW, HE REALLY HAS ALL THE BASES COVERED. HIS BACKGROUND IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR, HIS BACKGROUND WITH THE STATE AS A CABINET LEVEL HOMELAND SECURITY PERSON HERE IN NEW YORK, HIS BACKGROUND IN THE FBI, HE'S THE RIGHT MAN AT THE RIGHT TIME. >> IN A STATEMENT FOLLOWING HIS APPOINTMENT, DONILON SAID, QUOTE, MY GOALS ARE C. CONTINUE THE HISTORIC PROGRESS, DECREASING CRIME AND REMOVING ILLEGAL GUNS FROM OUR COMMUNITIES. UPHOLD THE HIGHEST STANDARDS OF INTEGRITY AND TRANSPARENCY, AND SUPPORT OUR DEDICATED OFFICERS WHO PUT THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE EVERY DAY TO KEEP US SAFE. HE WENT ON TO SAY IN THAT STATEMENT THAT HE THANKED THE OUTGOING COMMISSIONER FOR HIS SERVICE, AND HE SAYS
