in new york city and wheat see in our current time and, mayor and governor of the same party, bill deblasio and andrew cuomo not necessarily getting along, john lindsay and nelson rockefeller comes to a clash and they come to a clash with franklin roosevelt dealing with the great democratic machine of will in new york city, and certainly crooked, franklin roosevelt starts his career as a reformer in the new york state senate but in 1914 he runs for the united states senate, put the bent opponent and franklin roosevelt gets his handed to him. after that he realizes don't fight tammany hall, loans city hall, from any direct confrontation with them but in the late 20s and early 30s there are three big investigations one after another. mayor james walker, what has franklin roosevelt done about it, common socialist leader, rabbi weiss, do something, crackdown, roosevelt knows tammany will control the 96 votes in the democratic national convention, does as little as pecan and only does it when he absolutely has to, can't be too favorable because outside of new york, the rest of the country, you a

today, from fox affiliates in new york 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

mayor bill di blasio: (deblasio) we are the best prepared city in the country. we know how to do big events, we have shown it time and time again. 5000 uniformed and undercover officers will be in times square. snipers will be on rooftops, garbage cans removed, manhole covers sealed shut, radiation detectors deployed. this year the nypd established a 500 person special response unit that holds regular drills. at a new operations center in downtown manhattan, officers monitor thousands of camera feeds. on new years eve the room will be staffed with members of governmental and private agencies. last month, chief james o'neill gave us a tour. (oneill) d: do you think people should feel safe? o: you know what? i'm not going to tell people not to be concerned. but i am going to tell them to feel safe. // i don't think anyone does this work better than the nypd along with our federal partners. california terror attacks are fresh. d: the pattern this year has been terrorist attacks on relatively small, soft targets. with the focus on times square, what about the thousa

reporter: bill deblasio has mainly dismantled some of that evident. look at tashfeen malik and syed farook in san bernardino. it turns out he was a member of a mosque there. his imam denied there were any report but it turns out there were 30 messages between farook and his mosque. he memorized the quran and that's something you cannot do without learning arabic. how do we deal with this. people say the guy was nuts or he left. no one knew anything, they don't see anything, it's all a big surprise. >> peter king would say you need more informants. and the f.b.i. tries to recruit informant in mosque if they hear something suspicious or traces of radicalization to report it to authorities. reporter: is it fair to put people to spy in mosque? >> peter king point out the boston marathon bombing case in which one of the suspects did reveal radicalization in a mosque and it was not reported. i think king and a up in of people would say it is constitutional and proper if, if plans that could lead to violent attacks are being discussed in conversations. repor

now bill deblasio, the mayor of new york and the police commissioner bill bratton say several other districtsstigators 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 and i would rely on bracken's judgment. if that is the case -- ashley: the person

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 morning qu
