Years ago, the new york city police department and the fbi tlarted the a plan to men trying to go to raqqa and then do attacks like this. unfortunately, this was one we didn t get the intelligence about and were able to stop. tim, they believe he was radicalized here in the united states. obviously, he was here legally, but not an american citizen. he left the notes behind pledging feelty to isis, tim, in both air bik and english. b obviously, his native language is not arabic. what does this say about his level of radicalization? he could have had someone else write it or print it, but to your mind, how significant is that? i think he s trying to prove he is a student of islam. the language of islam is arabic and so the arabic language is used on isis flag, on every proclamation made by isis and its leader. so by him using arabic, a tongue
Capitalized, the a isn t capitalized which it would be if someone was a real student of islam. but let s step back a little bit here and think about threats to schools and how much they have been exploding in just perhaps that s not the right word, how much they have been expanding in the last couple of years. the most recent study i have seen on this looked at threats for the first half of this school year which would have been starting last fall and going through the first half of the year. 812 school threats across the country, 46 states being involved, 44% of them involved threats of bombings and one of the factors that the authors of this study cite is the rapid spread of electronic devices in the hands of students who can post these threats and try to do so anonymously. the fact that this was an e-mail threat and the fact that it was sent to several different school

Nobody changes the rule of the game so they all play the game. that s the bs cycle we get on both sides. luckily we get to talk about it for the next year. john ben, thanks so much. thanks. all right, this is a big story today because it s about presidential politics. but there s a lot of news for you. let s get to it. we could hear the sound of a train. our ears started popping. you need to take shelter immediately. for the kids they were scared. you re hearing sirens and hearing the wind. he was a student of islam. the more he studied, i think the greater his intensity grew. for the very first time we are seeing and hearing from elton simpson himself. state is going to have a very difficult time proving these charges. i m asking the department of justice to investigate. to handcuff him and take him to the station they have to have a crime. the nfl s stunning 243-page report on deflategate. a mountain of circumstantial
