panel weighs in. david: dow had been up 260 points at session highs. [closing bell rings] as the bells sound on wall street. only thing in the red, gold down about three dollars ahead of the fed decision. melissa. melissa: we'll have more ahead of the huge fed rate decision announcement in a bit. we want to go back to the stop stories, bomb threat shutting down schools in los angeles. officials defending the decision to close down all public schools despite all growing evidence to suggest it was a hoax. fox business's ashley webster in the newsroom with the latest. reporter: more and more details coming out, melissa. schools remain closed. no word when they may reopen only the l.a. unified school district says the schools will open when they are satisfied they are completely safe.

l.a. police chief charlie beck said the threat in the email late last night was specific to all campuses in the l.a. school district. the imply threat involved explosives devices. a specific threat was shooting attack with the use of assault rifles and machine pistols as a result. we know 900 public schools, over 1000 if you include charter schools were closed. 640,000 students told to stay home. some of the students already had gone to school and had to be taken home after this announcement was made. they say the email to the l.a. school district came from an i.p. address that wept back to frankfurt, germany, but the police chief says he believes the origin was much closer and not in europe. as david just mentioned the new york superintendent of schools also received a very similar email. however, it was dismissed as a hoax. and that is exactly what new york police commissioner bill bratton said.

he said, look, there were errors in this particular email that made it appear to be a hoax. it was not what we would expect to be a legitimate threat. he also, as david pointed out, said that it was an overreaction from the l.a. school district. now new york of course says they get regular threats as does l.a. however, in this case l.a. shooting back saying it is easy to be critical when you don't have to be the one responsible for the outcome of that decision. so a little east coast battle going on but l.a. sticking by it is decision. melissa: ashley, thanks so much for that report. david. david: let's go to the west coast. former los angeles mayor richard riordan joining me now. thanks, mr. mayor, for coming in. it was a former l.a. police commissioner criticizing the closure of the l.a. schools. bill bratton who was very successful when he was in l.a. do you support the current superintendent of the schools who closed down the schools or do you support bill bratton's

position? >> well, i think you have to be an in each of their places to decide how you would go but i respect ray rodriguez. he is a great leader in the schools. now i have looked at what -- if you were the leader, if i were leader like mayor of l.a. i would be looking at okay, we get all the kids to school on buses but where are the buses when you have to take them home when they are let out of the schools? we have one little boy killed by a car crossing the street this morning. after being let out of school. you have things like that. how about their lunches? how do you give lunches to kids who don't have food at home? i think as mayor what i would do and i tell everybody involved in these is, have a list in front of you of the private phone numbers of fbi, l.a. police

department, the people who are involved in anti-terrorism, of the ceo's of major companies in l.a., and then make a decision. and if you're wrong, at least you have had the courage to make at that decision. david: right. but the problem is that it appears the person who made the decision was the superintendent on his own because, here -- by the way we have the sound bite of bill bratton talking about that decision. let's play the sound and then get your reaction. >> l.a. is a huge school system. 600 square miles of school system and to disrupt daily schedules of half a million schoolchildren, day care, buses, based on anonymous email without consultation, if in fact consultation did not occur, with law enforcement authorities, i think it was a significant overreaction, yes. david: so that's bill bratton. he said it straight out.

he is the former l.a. police commissioner. he is saying that the terrorists want to disrupt our lives and to the extent that they did so that was a mistake. >> certainly as i mentioned there was chaos in l.a. one parent lost their child to an accident because of it will wonder about everything. but i respect superintendent rodriguez and that doesn't mean i wouldn't do things differently. david: gotcha. former mayor of l.a., richard riordan. thank you very much, sir, for coming in. appreciate it. melissa. melissa: credit cable terror threat or fear? here is tom ruskin, former nypd detective. there are two theories what happened here. either one, it was a hoax. somebody that was trying to disrupt things. the other theory that is more frightening is the idea this was basically a research mission to see how the cities responded what they took seriously, if they did war teams moved.

where staging areas were and what it looking like in order to do recognizance of a future threat. what do you think of those two ideas? >> it is all possible but what we learned from san bernardino and the terrorist attack down there they were casing schools. so there was some intelligence that one of the targets could be a school. i think it is very good to monday morning quarterback and being on both sides of the position and having been in the room to make these tough decisions it is not something done within a minute or five minutes. something that is done very quickly. tough make those decisions, sometimes 4:00, 5:00 in the morning to be able to properly shut down a school system, even if it's a known thunderstorm or snowstorm that is coming. so i think it's great that everyone is monday morning quarterbacking. superintendent rodriguez at this point in time but if it was a credible threat at the time he made a decision and the decision

was to shut down the schools. melissa: i understand that but in terms of the evidence, i mean what do you think it really was? when they talk about, we heard talk about the two different notes came through. the one to new york and one to l.a. and they're saying some of the telltale signs were that they use ad lower case a for a law. in one of them it is reported there was reference to profanity, which made the people reading it feel like this wasn't from actual jihadists or, you know, radical muslims because they wouldn't use that kind of language. it didn't make a lot of sense. that there weren't references necessarily that were correct to the new york school system although they were more accurate talking about l.a. based on that and your own past, do you think it was just a hooks? >> it appears from everything we're learning later on today that it appears to be a hoax but it doesn't appear the mechanisms in l.a. were in place as they are in new york. so when new york gets those

threats chancellor of new york can not shut down the schools. the mayor shuts down schools. l.a. is different, the superintendent shuts down the schools. when the mayor, police department or whoever received a hoax in new york city, gets it goes to the mayor, to the police commissioner and intelligence division and threat analysis unit of new york city police department who then evaluates it. obviously the evaluation in new york was vastly different than l.a. melissa: yeah. i hear what you're saying. we don't want to second-guess what happened in l.a. because you never want anything bad to happen to children. at same time it's a learning experience. sadly may be a learning experience for terrorists on the other side, that is very distressing. >> right. melissa: it is also learning experience from this side. i would personally like to be bill bratton's next door neighbor. i think that would be safest place on the planet to live. that is my thought. we appreciate your feedback. david: safest place to live absolutely. we're expecting:chin to take the stage at university of minnesota in minneapolis any moment now.

she will be unveiling her strategy to combat terrorism. her campaign calling this a comprehensive three-pronged plan for defeating isis and winning struggle against radical jihad. our panels breaking down details of this later in the hour. the fifth and last republican debate of the year taking place tonight and terror of course is the top issue in the minds of americans he specially with today's news of threats and closings of the los angeles schools. blake burman is standing by in las vegas, the site of the debate with more what we can expect. blake? reporter: hi, there, david. after the shooting rampage too in san bernardino, california, foreign policy is expected to dominate the conversation here at the republican debate las vegas later tonight. among issues to be discussed,. k-1 visa program that allowed tashfeen malik to enter the country.

also monitoring the social media of potential terrorist sympathizers wanting to enter into the country. you can be a safe bet donald trump will be asked about proposal of temporary ban on muslims in the u.s. he held one of those rallies tonight in las vegas, attended by thousands. >> we have to be careful. i have so many great relationships with muslim people. they know there's a problem. they want the problem solved. it is hurting them. reporter: now most of the republican field has denounced that plan. jeb bush and marco rubio questioned last night whether donald trump is fit to be the next commander-in-chief. >> donald trump basically says, i'll figure it out as i go along. would know the names of these people. it doesn't matter. of course it matters. >> now is the time for candidates to show they understand how difficult and complex each challenges are.

have different proposals to address them. i don't think he met that test. reporter: faced questions on stage do night about his voter early this year of usa freedom act which shifted responsibility of collecting american phone records from the nsa over to the telecommunications companies. one rival campaign telling me you can expect cruz to have to face that vote. david, back to you. david: should be interesting debate. i'm bait waiting for fbn in january. melissa: we're watching this one too. thank you, blake, very much. melissa: frontrunner donald trump after calling for a ban on muslims entering the united states you know it didn't hurt him in the polls. did you notice that? donald trump's support is to up 38% of registered voters, doubling his need from the nearest competitor, ted cruz and marco rubio this is the phenomenon. we keep seeing it. he says something.

everyone pounces and says this will be it. that is the most controversial thing you can possibly say, for sure and his numbers go on. david: particularly pounced on by saudi arabian princes, guess how many refugees saudi arabia has taken in? zero, zero refugees. they're criticizing trump for saying we should put at least a temporary halt on air -- own program. i don't think that made any points for the saudi prince. melissa: we have byron york, "washington examiner," fox news contributor. i guess we know what will be the main topic in tonight debate. who do you think shines as a result? >> we will see ted cruz with a target on his back and his front. he hasn't been in the situation before. after a show of strength in iowa, where he is leading in the "fox news poll," "des moines register" polls, a number of polls, a number of candidates will be going after him and there is always donald trump.

we see a situation where some. other candidates, marco rubio and jeb bush and others go after cruz and trump. the real question are they going after each other? we have kind of mixed signals on that. melissa: that is very interesting and should make tonight really interesting, people may not know one of ted cruz's big thing is his debate prue west. that is something he did in college and law school and is really known for, even more than any of the other candidates. this is really his forte. so if people are going after him, then he will have the chance to respond, that could end up being a big boost for him even if it seems like maybe he is on the wrong side of some of these issues given his stance on nsa and on privacy when we're seeing so much terror and disruption at home? >> especially if he handles it gracefully. you're right, marco rubio is likely to go after ted cruz on national security issues. it remains unseen whether a lot of republicans could be convinced ted cruz is actually soft on national security.

you're right, he is very good debater. in the past he has shown real uncanny ability when not to talk as much as when to talk. back in the first fox debate in august, when you look at amount of time spoken by each of the candidates cruz was at the bottom yet still a lot of people thought he did very well this that debate. look for him to try to gracefully deflect and handle any attacks from from trump or anybody else without getting down in the mud. melissa: people have been surprised in last couple debates that they haven't heard much from donald trump. while he is bellicose and outspoken in media events between the debates, when it comes to the stage he doesn't necessarily do that much what do you think he will do tonight? >> it is not really his strung suit. he gives the speeches which he really projects a sense of being a strong and powerful leader but he does not get into the weeds of any policy. he says we're going to do this,

we're going to do that, we're going to build a wall, we'll make the country great again. when fellow candidates come after him with details, he then retreats into those generalities again. i think that debating is not really his strong suit. best that can be said he come out of all these debates surviving. they haven't heard him. in the national polls he is at highest point ever. melissa: byron, thank you very much. >> thank you. david: byron is not in venice. that is the venetian in las vegas. might confuse people. melissa: that looks nice. david: saudi arabia announcing a coalition banning together to do what none of them could succeed at alone, fighting isis but can we trust them? melissa: terrorism is more the norm. saying shootings and violence are a part of our lives. david: an angry hotel customer thought this was good way to dispute a charge on his bill. bam.

melissa: nice. david: that will cost him a lot of money. melissa: my goodness. david: keep it tuned to fox business, folks. thanks for so much, your help and support led us to number one. we're the fastest growing cable network in 2015. thank you so much. opens your nose up to 38% more than cold medicine alone. shut your mouth and say goodnight mouthbreathers. breathe right

walid, what do you think of this force? >> this is it and so late in the process. not because of them but because of us. we should have in 2014 held a conference, a summit here in washington, d.c. and invited all these people. nevertheless you could have criticism about many of partners. those that will really fight are not 32 or 28. it will be four or five regular arab armies we know very well. will we block them, obstruct them or lead them? that is the real question i'm wondering about. david: saudi arabia will be one of the lead, if not the lead of muslim force, when most americans think of saudi arabia they think of bin laden and other 9/11 terrorists and from saudi arabia and infiltration. there is a lot of terrorist infiltration. is there a risk maybe one of the bad guys will be piloting one of these jets? >> they are not going to be deployed here. they're going to be deployed there. their air force will be controlled by themselves. and it is going to be directed

to syria, iraq, all where these operatives are. david: still that doesn't prevent terrorists from staying out of the cockpit. >> the chance of an isis penetrating saudi air force and bombing us is very minimal if you compare it to the availability of having not just saudi but having u.a.e. and egypt and jordan moving forward crushing isis. yes, the possibility is there. if you're looking at what you're weighing here, really an historic opportunity. david: i don't want to continually dump on the saudis, but they realize, at least one of the princes recently criticized donald trump for suggesting muslims should stay out of the united states for now until we figure out what is going on with the refugee situation. i looked it up, amnesty international, brookings institute, a lot of organizations if you add up all the organizations you know how many syrian refugees went to saudi arabia, zero, zero. they're criticizing donald trump suggesting we need a pause. that really ticks off a lot of

americans. >> it does. it should, it has in the past. i in many of my books criticize many things happening in the kingdom, it is well-known. a criticism of what happens in saudi arabia, wahhabiism and we understand you about having saudi and five other armies destroying isis, balance is much better and we can come back later to criticize every aspect of their politics. david: thank you for calming me down. walid phares, we'll continue our conversation with you in just a moment. >> thank you. melissa: a few other stories on our radar. a woman and two men are arrested in connection in paris in connection with two separate deadly attacks. one is suspect in the investigation into the november 13th attack. one man and woman arrested were suspected of supplying weapons to terrorist who is killed a police woman and four other people at a kosher store on the

east end of paris in january. kosovo parliament pressuring the government to new heights. clouds of smoke from two tear gas canisters were release, forcing lawmakers out of the chamber. david: oh, my goodness. melissa: a man drove his truck into a hotel lobby in oklahoma almost hitting a woman. 62-year-old john parsley got a wanted a refund on two transactions. i guess the damage was worth the -- david: i worry about people with that kind of vehicle. donald trump is knot backing down. he is ready to attack ted cruz, that is nice debate. why some conservatives think it is a mistake for trump to pick a fight with senator cruz. return of "star wars." fan reviews suggesting that the

melissa: dow heading up 150 points ahead of yesterday's fed rate decision. lori rothman watching from the floor of the new york stock exchange. what fueled today's rally? >> it was interesting day today. we did have as you said a nice rally but from the get-go, leading into this highly anticipated fed decision tomorrow on interest rates, markets really kind of shaking its sillies out. we were down 300 friday. up 100 points yesterday. up in another 155, 156 today. all-in we're only off 50 points in the last three sessions. traders on the floor are just kind of taking what would be highly anticipated fed decision

of really last nine, 10 years. quite telling leading sectors were energy up 2.85% and financials obviously benefiting higher interest rate environments up 2.83%. so you know, interest rates the story there, we've been following rout in the junk bond market last couple days. rates really stablized. two year, at highest level since may of 2010. that gave folks relief that the fed is more than likely doing exactly what it has been intending to tomorrow. we have less than 24 hours to find out exactly what at that is. melissa: lori, thank you very much. david: you have to wait but don't have to change the channels. with he have you covered with all-star lineup to take you through the fed decision. might be the first rate hike in nine years, something like that. eight or nine years. what it all means to you, your interest rates if you're a safer, you care a lot about this. melissa: absolutely. david: 1:00 p.m. eastern when it all starts with my buddy neil cavuto. what happens in vegas, well, not this time.

this time it does get out in the real world. it is fight night in sin city as republican candidates prepare to face off on terror. melissa: plus the new normal. why an overwhelming majority of minutes saying random acts of violence are now a permanent part of american life. before those little pieces would get in between my dentures and my gum and it was uncomfortable. just a few dabs is clinically proven to seal out more food particles. super poligrip is part of my life now.

come on, wake up!!! come on,why ya sleepin'? come on! what time is it? it's go time. come on. let's go, let's go, let's go. woooo hoooo!! yeah!! i feel like i went to bed an hour ago. yeah!! i'll make the cocoa. get a great offer on the car of your grown-up dreams at the mercedes-benz winter event. it's the look on their faces that make it all worthwhile. hurry, these offers end january 4th. thank you santa!!! david: 71% of americans believe

the terror attacks and other acts violence taking place this year are now a permanent part of american life. that according to the new "nbc news-wall street journal poll". that will be a focus tonight of the gop debate. we have guy benson, independent women's forum, district tore of health policy, hadley heath manning and republican strategist and fox news contributor tony sayegh. welcome to you all. guy, first to you, i know the l.a. school closings are debatable whether they should have done it but did they change the talking points of this debate. they have must have already i'm sure at top of the agenda. they must have created new talking points for the candidates, no? >> i think definitely, david. there is a heightened concern among the american people about national security. that was already going to dominate tonight's conversation. foreign policy, national security, keeping american people safe. the scare we saw this morning in

los angeles, more than 600 students, 600,000 students staying home pause of a supposed terror threat. people are on edge. we will hear a lot about that from the candidates here. david: hadley, last week all the other candidates beat up on trump for his suggestion of how we handle the refugee thing, keeping muslims out for a while. today we get polls showing the american public pretty much approves, at least those going to vote for trump increased in amount, look at this, 38% approval. are the candidates will be a lot less reluctant to criticize him because he did so well with this issue? >> certainly going head-to-head with donald trump in debate setting has been difficult for a lot of candidates so far. maybe the exception of carly fiorina and her comments about her face have come away from an exchange with trump in debate really getting better of him. you're right, the refugee crisis is tangentially related to some

other issues, whether national security, foreign policy or broader issue of immigration. these are issues that will come up tonight and see stark contrast with republicans. david: staying with you, hadley, i'm thinking perhaps candidates may want to rethink their attack on donald's refugee policy because of the fact he did so well with it? do you think they may pull back a little from their criticism? >> well, candidates will have to stick to whatever policy platforms they believe are best and explain to the american people why they would take a different position than mr. trump. if they agree with mr. trump, that's one thing. if they are talking about the issues they have to stand what they believe rather than changing going with flow of the tide. reflecting what is in public opinion polls is not a matter of principle. david: but that is what they're going for is votes. tony, criticized by a number of long-time supporters. rush limbaugh came out yesterday and suggested he went too far in his attacks against ted cruz. let's play the tape and get your

reaction. >> genuine conservative even in the republican field would not go after cruz this way. so that is, i just raises a red flag for me. made me somewhat curious. david: did it raise a red flag for you, tony? >> no doubt, confirmed what i thought all along, the real challenge for donald trump will come from the right, not establishment. when you think about the audience that supports donald trump there is this misnomer that it is talk radio show audience, rush limbaugh, mark levin, sean hannity listeners. that is by far a much bigger part of conservative movement that aligns with ted cruz. when you think of donald trump the impression he is only appealing to frustrated conservatives. he is probably appealing more to frustrated americans more than partisan group. when you think about the fact that donald trump criticized cruz, fighting, basically taking on the establishment in the senate, antithetical what

conservatives believe something bad. they have supported cruz and backed him up throughout the last three years in the senate. david: very good point. guy, i envy you. turn around look at venetian background. that is one of the coolest sets here in the world at least in america. some people prefer the real thing. thanks, guy. enjoy it, guy, thank you very much. melissa: seems like no stopping donald trump. gop frontrunner is surging 38% ahead of the rest of the gop in "washington post" abc poll. he is taking center stage tonight because set leader. can he keep up the leader image? here so weigh in bruce turkel, marketing maven, ceo of turkel brands. bruce, thank you very much for joining us. there is a theory making the rounds that his support is even greater for the support shows, it is embarrassing people to say they support donald trump. you look over your shoulder and see who is listening before you

say anything positive. people don't want to admit they support him. rather than being smaller what people think it is larger than what people think, what do you think about that great theory? >> that is a great theory. donald trump is cartoon superhero. he appeals to sinking opinions of americans across the board. we just heard it. people who are frustrated people who think this big guy, bigger than life spitting in the eye of the enemy is someone they want on their side. that might be a guilty pleasure. that is a great point. there may be a lot of him who feel good about what he is doing but don't want to admit it in mixed company. melissa: you're a market maven. how does he keep this going and how does he not fade, seems to say something over and over again and make people respond and outrage. not just the media. i understand beating up the media is positive for him and his supporters because they don't trust the media. they come at him from all sides

and they digest what he said and his numbers go up. how does that keep happening? >> there is a lot of reasons. we try to look at it logically and historically with all of our knowledge of elections. it works because he makes a emotional response with the people who are following him. also we tend to think that what he says is so over the top that in a lot of cases we give him the benefit of the doubt. the other day he made anti-semitic remarks. people were lambasting him for that. wait a second his daughter is jewish. come on? almost satirical. it is just hyperbole. there are people who hear these different things and get turned on. remember who he is. he is a boisterous brash promoter. he is reality tv star. this is what he does. he changed the republican primary in his image. melissa: a lot of that is true. when you drill down on a lot of things he says, they make sense. no, see you thought i was going to say there was nothing there. >> i did.

melissa: first he says put a pause on letting people come in from muslim countries until we figure out the situation. then you look a day forward, turns out one of the people that perpetrated the shooting in san bernardino was somebody who came in on a visa and wasn't vet properly. he looked down right prescient at that moment. we didn't have that information when he said that somebody slides through and americans sit there, you know what, maybe he is not a lunatic? maybe he is on to something there. he says things, i'm spending no money and winning. isn't that the kind of person you want running country. we need to turn the caliphate into parking lot. sound over the top. people think about it, wait a second, it makes sense. problem when it sinks in it starts to make sense to people, no? you're shaking your head. where did i go wrong? >> when it sinks in it starts to make people feel good because it reinforces their basest motives or motives they don't wan to say in public. when it sinks in, a lot of

people are thinking yeah, that's what we ought to do. if you stop and think about it, it doesn't make sense because of something called the constitution. melissa: no. no. >> doesn't make sense of way -- melissa: not the idea, no, not the idea that we aren't vetting people's visas properly, so we should pause until we figure out how to check your facebook to see if you promised to come into the country and blow things up before we let you in. those are things, that is not against the copstution. he is not saying we should give people a religion test. that is sort of the other side, taking his argument and trying to use it against him. when you look at what he said it actually made sense. >> no. i think you're adding a veneer of credibility by thinking threw it, in your intelligent, knowledgeable, eloquent way making it make sense. i don't think that is what he is doing. i don't think what many of his performers are doing. melissa: bruce, you are the master. my hat is off to you. that was very well-done. i did see what you did. i loved it. flattering me. totally got it.

loved it anyway. david: he is brilliant marketer. melissa: that is why we have it on. david: if bruce an trump got together, watch out. melissa: my goodness. david: ted cruz once again responding to donald trump who called him a maniac over the weekend. yesterday he tweeted that link to "flashdance." today he sent out this wrote. getting ready for the debate tomorrow. needed some inspiration. [laughter]. that's good. this is link to chris farley singing maniac from the 1995 movie, "tommy boy." that is pretty funny. melissa: heightened fears of terrorism pave a difficult path for the 2016 election. our panel weighs in coming up next. is the only product that forms a protective barrier that helps keep stomach acid in the stomach where it belongs. for fast-acting, long-lasting relief. try gaviscon®. for fast-acting, long-lasting relief. the market.redict but through good times and bad...
