of new york city officialss, the insurer on the left side, bill deblasio the police commissioner, bill bratton, explaining their reasoning, they bourke-white diss missive of this e-mail with kenyan los angeles, bill bratton said it is being investigated, the person who wrote it questioned the red jihadists that the mistakes and it was clear from the mistakes this was a prankster. one mistake, the spelling of the word lallah with a way, he ran the police department, have joe during a news conference, you knew from earlier today, he sent the e-mail, had watched a lot of showtime series homeland. that is what bill bratton really was from his language quite dismissive of the same threat in l.a.. we will see what they say. neil: could have been becoming so. of day. other developments out of washington, congress is close to agreement on delaying at least three and owners provisions, taxes and obamacare they have a very generous insurance plan, they paid extra for is that. the medical device tax, a bipartisan concern, republicans and democrats saying this is very understanding wanted do

schools. now we had the mayor bill deblasio and the commissioner bratton speaking about what it was that they felt that they needed to do. now, it was commissioner bratton saying that the language in the e-mail would lead us to believe this is not a jihadist initiative he said. it's incredible to think they would not spell allah with a capital "a." i'm trying to book the bratton folks to get the commissioner on in this hour and hear what they felt was the background on the information they received, how it differed from that in los angeles that triggered the reaction we saw in los angeles opposed to any type of reaction we saw here in new york city. i think a lot of people observing this would look at what the mayor and the police commissioner did in referencing what happened in california as a potential overreaction. and i think that's what morgan was alluding to, as well. what we saw out of california and the first press briefing about this from the police chief all the way to the mayor is the fact that they did not want to take a chance on this. and there will be a lot of monday morni

same -- it was not credible. now bill deblasio, the mayor of new york and the police commissioner bill bratton say several other districts nationwide all got the same threat and investigators determined students were not in any real danger. stuart: i have some analysis. >> could be a copycat threat in virginia beach. stuart: was the same threat, the same threat. los angeles because of the proximity of san bernardino they blinked and closed the schools. judge napolitano: the power of the threat. it is almost a test. here is an interesting historical fact, the police commissioner in new york city, bill bratton is the former police commissioner in l.a.. the same mindset saying if hybrid there i would not have closed the schools, i am here and i won't close the schools, this is a test, eyeball to eyeball, we are not blinking. ashley: bill bratton accusing l.a. officials of overreacting by shutting down the school district. stuart: telling los angeles you are overreacting. ashley: bill bratton. judge napolitano: and ray kelly, two of the savviest police commissioners in the country today an
