so like you get a job promotion or birthday, mazel tov can also mean good luck. so mazel tov 101.ed written by scott walker back when he was a county executive. it was a letter he wrote in response to a request that the county host a menorah lighting ceremony outside the milwaukee courthouse for hanukka. and scott walker wrote in reply in this letter, thank you for your letter regarding the menorah display. yes, we would be happy to celebrate the eight days of hanukka here at the courthouse. then he told the guy who he should contact to organize the lighting of the menorah. yay. a happy and festive hanukkah in milwaukee. then scott walker politely signed the letter, thank you again and molotov. molotov? maybe it was just his computer autocorrecting? but let it be known on this night of all nights even if he did mean mazel tov, granting the hanukkah celebration, is it's not really a mazel tov situation. it's more of a happy holidays thing, not mazel tov. but still, nice try. and tonight is the first night of the festival of lights. so molotov to you and your whole family. >> i'm ju

that in a letter to a jewish constituent about a hanukkah menorah instead of signing off with a mazel tovvernor wrote thank you again and molotov, as in molotov as in improvised firebomb. the molotov was a typo, but beyond that, no one really says mazel tov on hanukkah and that would be like saying congratulations to everyone around the christmas tree. this is n this is n this is not governor walker, and walker bragged about a holiday tradition he started over at the governor's mansion. >> sometimes people are confused because not only do we have christmas decorations up and we put up a menorah candle. >> for a holiday with a nine-candle menorah. oh, governor walker, there are only two words for you, oy vey! new shoes, new man. we will look at governor perry's new extreme candidate makeover and how another 2016 hopeful would be positioning himself for a white house run. that's next on "now." for practically just your signature, you could drive home for the holidays in a german-engineered volkswagen. like the sporty, advanced new jetta... and the 2015 motor trend car of the year all-new go

a mazel tov situation. it's more of a happy holidays thing, not mazel tov. but still, nice try. and tonight is the first night of the festival of lights. so molotov to you and your whole family. happy hanukka. now it's time for "the last word" with lawrence o'donnell. >> i'm just going to play it wicked safe. happy holidays. >> indeed. play it safe for now. thanks, rachel. >> thanks, lawrence. well, tonight, the stolen sony e-mails story has become a terrorism story, and the terrorists are threatening you. but first, the bush family presidential machine is gearing up for another run. >> we're seeing more and more that people often model their lives on their parents. if their parents go to church, so do they. if their parents went to college, so do they. >> what exactly is jeb saying. >> jeb bush announced he's planning to actively explore -- >> he will actively explore. >> to actively explore the possibility of running for president. >> officially exploring a run for president of the united states. >> if yo

thank you again, and molotov." ( laughter ) ( applause ) ( cheers ) now, walker probably meant mazel tovis yiddish for congratulations, and not molotov, which is a bottle of gasoline with a lit rag stuffed in the neck used to firebomb tanks. ( laughter ) so there's a little difference. though in walker's defense, eight molotov cocktails would make for a very festive menorah. ( cheers and applause ) they said the gas would burn for only one night. now i think everyone needs to just lay off walker here. he's still learning. he hasn't yet developed the deep cultural understanding of the jewish people that i have. there is no greater friend of the children of israel than yours truly, so allow me to say a word on walker's behalf. jewish nation, scott walker's a good guy. he's a real munch. ( laughter ) ok, so he doesn't wear a yamaha or observe the sherbert. the important thing is that he was ready to display that minorah. i'm sure, given the chance, he also would have displayed the majora. and we're not even talking about a major jewish holiday here. it's not like this is yom tupac shakur or

it's more of a happy holidays thing, not mazel tov. but still, nice try. and tonight is the first night of the festival of lights. . >>> good morning, up now on "first look," the department of homeland security aware of the 9-11 references, new details on the interview and the sony hacking scandal. the unspeakable murder of over 140 students. now, will there be retribution against the taliban neighborhood, spreading panic, passengers on a flight forced to make an emergency landing. >> that and a whole lot more on this wednesday, december 17th. good morning, everyone, stirring up fear by using -11 reference, the department of homeland security and local police departments are aware of the threat. this in preparation of the release of sony's movie "the interview, a comedy farce that depicts kim jong-un, the premier was cancelled and sources tell cnbc sony would support a decision to not run the movie and carmike cinemas has already cancelled its showings him but are these threats credible? >> i really doubt this is a credible threat. i don't mean to him enco

but, you know, you have to compare that to the wisconsin governor who instead of mazel tov says molotovba, we want to start with that. do you think this will trigger change in cuba? >> well, that is the hope of the president as expressed, saying that the 50 plus years of isolation certainly hasn't done the job. and the expressed hope is that by engagement in a variety of different ways that the cuban government will sort of in a nuanced way start improving on its human rights record. as a matter of fact, raul castro said yesterday that human rights was among the things subject to further negotiation. >> and that's -- that leads me to my next question talking about the cuban government what does this mean for the legacy of the castro brothers? >> well, it would seem at first blush to suggest that this is an affirmation of their legacy. remember that the person they took over from over 53 years ago was definitely a dictator, supported by the united states, but nevertheless a dictator. the question really is not only the legacy of the castros, but what is this going to mean for the legacy

presumably instead of mazel tov, a hebrew phrase for "congratulations."molotov cocktail is a homemade explosive. >>> from "usa today," kentucky rejects $18 million in tax incentives for noah's ark park. they cite the separation of church and state. and talk about chump change in the $1.1 trillion spending bill. it's 1,600 pages. so there are a few odd things being buried deep in there.

so mazel tov white fish, montana, big mountain club. one less nazi.d, the result here is the same. and it's instructive. the right and the very, very, very far right are often comfortably co-existent in our country right now, but every once in a while, there is a fight. either at a personal level, a fight on a ski lift in montana somewhere, or it's a big scale fight in washington that the beltway doesn't really notice until it's way too late. usually what happens when there's a fight like this is that the far right wins. mainstream doesn't like to fight with their right flank. when the right flank wins and they fight these things out, they usually get their way. day counting. >> good morning. right now first look, heavy flooding and dangerous mudslides in california after months of drought. how is the golden state coping. >> bill cosby alleged with sexually assaulting a woman when she was just 15 years old. >> domestic violence in every community costs our great nation. >>> a senate hearing on domestic violence in pro sports. plus, a shark photo bombs

scott walker would say mala tov, maybe he is greeting it with more private concernation. after the moves from current governors with an eye on 2016, jeb bush has advantage of not being under any kind of state or federal investigation and the earliest big move could send big money jeb bush's way, super pack. that being more of his facebook post. conversation that's might actively explore the possibility of asking for a check. joining us now, thank you gentleman. josh, let me start with you my friend. because no fewer than 100-some odd hours ago we were discussing your story in bloomberg business week that i think threw a veil of skepticism what do you make of it today. >> my story let people know he was new head of a hedge fund. soon as the news broke, we're like are you serious or not, i think this pact is a way of saying yes i'm serious, i'm not just going to try to make money, this is my step into the lime light. >> so you are saying jeb bush is an avid bloomberg reader and you may have caused this. this is not something that played well for mitt romney. >> there were a

but he used the term molotov. [ laughter ] instead of mazel tov. [ laughter ] which is bad.not great. you don't have to be jewish to know that's not great. but he did make up for it, because he told his jewish constituents he's going to personally light the macarena. [ laughter ] i think that's a very nice way, a very nice way for making up for it. [ applause ] this is unbelievable. police in pennsylvania arrested a couple who stole, they stole a salvation army donation bucket at a local convenience store and used it to buy drugs. [ audience oohs ] they used it to buy drugs. which makes me wonder, what kind of drugs can you buy for $3.88? [ laughter ] i guess i'll take, can i get a grain of cocaine?
