strange, and something hateful. americans reading from a two decades old -- from the al-qaeda terrorist behind the 9/11 attacks that murdered nearly 3000 people. not just reading the letter, but celebrating it. influencers saying their entire world view has changed. 14 million people watched other americans essentially say, a homicidal maniac sounded like he made sense. the letter was warehoused on the guardians website, and as you can see it has now been moved, but not before tiktok pushed droves to viewers they're. the white house felt of the gated to say the obvious out loud. there is never a justification for spreading the repugnant evil and antisemitic lies that the leader of al-qaeda issued after committing the worst terrorist attack in american history. violence is as old as -- but hate and anger seem to be coming a regular feature of american life. on college campuses like -- like george, washington and lee elsewhere like cornell where some students now live in fear. >> i was on my way to the kosher dining hall when i looked down and saw the threats. >> how did you feel? >> it is terrifying. this is not anything we ever thought we would have to deal with in the united states. >> that fear is part of why the department of education tonight is launching investigations into seven schools, but alleged incidents of antisemitism and islamophobia. you can feel the anger in major american cities where activists have resorted to disrespecting families, just bear in one place, while trying to draw more in another. >> what they are waiting for you to do is -- up and down the posters, trust me when i tell you they are everywhere. >> it all adds up to a climate primed for violence. just listen to the homeland security chief. >> in the days and weeks since we have responded turning creasing threats against jewish muslim and arab american communities and institutions across our country, -- >> and the fbi director. >> our most immediate concern is that individuals or small groups will draw twisted inspiration from the event in the middle east to carry out attacks here at home. >> and the president himself. >> today jewish families worry about being targeted in school. wearing symbols of faith walking down the street, or going about their daily lives. i know many of you in the muslim american community, arab american community, palestinian arab community. so many others are outraged and -- saying to yourselves, here we go again. islamophobia and distress we saw after 9/11. >> you have to look far for what that violence driven by anger warned from ignorance actually looks like. it looks like david depape who injury just convicted for realizing paul pelosi. it looks like a homicidal landlord who established six-year-old palestinian were to death in chicago. it looks like a brawl breaking out outside los angeles outside the screening of a film depicting of those atrocities of hamas on october seven. this week reality reminded us again, do not look to the capitol for an example to follow, unless you want to learn how to hit someone. >> first thing i thought of, i'm going to break my hand on the skies, face i will -- because when you are fighting or punching correctly, you should not break your hand -- >> you actually thought you were going -- to >> fight for intentions of doing that. >> i want to bring in now 9/11 first responder and founder of the feel good foundation john field. john, the reason we wanted to talk to you today is because you were there on september 11th. you lost people near and dear to you and now you see on social media i guess presumptively young people kids some of them idolizing osama bin laden letter what are you thinking tonight? . >> one, thank you for having me tonight. i'm never going to call anybody dumb. we have all done dumb things when we are young. but i will call the ignorant to their face. we are witnessing ignorance right now. tiktok was ignorant and -- the influences were reckless and ignorant. you know osama bin laden did not die enough for me. if i have tattoos stated on my back, and the day he died is tattooed on my back. this is the most evil man to ever walk the earth. and he killed over 3000 members -- that didn't go home today, that did not go home to their families. those people, still, many of them, have not had closure. but it is not just those innocent lives lost, it was a 343 firefighters, the 23 nypd, the -- and the following years, all those veterans who went to war who died in combat, were lost a leg, or ptsd, or a brain injury. osama bin laden is still being felt today. his violence, his evil, his pure hatred for mankind is still being felt today and now being picked up recklessly on -- i get social media, tiktok, instagram, twitter, most people look at me, look at me, i did this, i do that, good for them. i do as well on twitter. i'm not on tiktok. but we have a responsibility. i am a kidney donor to a complete stranger. that is how you influence others to do good. you did not post -- that was rooted in two decades ago my a twisted evil piece of [bleep] and then faith is okay. you don't. i'm never going to accept it. i'm going to live a life of giving, sharing, and loving. >> so many of the people in their late twenties right now or younger, they don't have any memory of 9/11 they were maybe not born yet. it has been so long, do you think that is one of the reasons why this is happening? yes i mean 9/11 is going to be the next pearl harbor. pearl harbor's were 80 years ago, 9/11 is 23 years ago. the further move move away. i blame that almost cool system now. i blame that on the education system. because 9/11 should be taught in schools, so the younger generation understands the magnitude, and the devastation and carnage that this man did. this is all osama bin laden for anybody to glorify him is -- they are delusional. we live now where members of congress want to fight, they want to throw stuff on the internet, they want to say something outlandish, and it causes all over the state. you know, you and i can have an argument, and i hope it would be an argument of -- we both have substance to add to this argument, but when you make a personal in college other names, there is no more argument. it is so easy to dismiss you. i hate you, i did not bring calories. but if i listen to what abby philip said, and i sat down with her, and i had to burn calories, then i would understand where you're coming from. nobody wants to do that, nobody must have the difficult conversation, because they're always the and the rather go on tiktok and spew [bleep] -- >> a lot of it is they performative nature social media, and i understand what you mean when it comes to talking to some of these people on capitol hill, it is difficult to get to the substance of it all. john, we do really appreciate you and actually everything you have done to help these 9/11 families. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> and tonight as israeli forces scour gaza's largest hospital for evidence of hamas, the idf says they found some. israel now releasing new images showing what it claims is a hamas tunnel shaft in the al-shifa hospital complex. now cnn cannot independently verify that claim, the video has been geolocated by cnn, and at one point -- show one of the hospitals main buildings. another video shows what the idf claims are a large amount of weapons found on the hospital grounds, and joining me to discuss this is former deputy assistant of state -- also running for congress in maryland's sixth district. joel, thanks for joining us. what do you make of this evidence that has been put out by israel today? does it meet your bar for proof that hamas had a significant presence at this hospital? >> abby, it is great to be with you. it certainly is making it clear that hamas was in danger in palestinians, civilians directly by embedding in hospitals, and the weapons that are now being revealed should cause alarm for everyone who cares about human rights and palestinian lives. why is tomas embedding with military equipment inside hospitals, so i'm confident we are going to see more discoveries of -- based upon what we are learning, and what we've, seen and how is the hamas operate by stealing innocent civilians from -- and burying them underground and hiding them as hostages. this is only the tip of the iceberg. >> we have not seen images that explicitly show -- why israel said is there, a commanding control center underneath the hospital, the u.s. says that is true but we have not seen that. will israel have to produce that kind of evidence? >> put yourself in the shoe of the israeli soldiers and military right now, how are they going to engage. they know there are fighters, underground they know this is where they -- so entering those tunnels, going into the maze of hundreds of miles potentially of tunnel, that is very risky and dangerous. so you bet they will have to have evidence. they understand the world is watching, they understand the validation of the claims must be met, but it is also very risky, and it is very dangerous, and that is why it is going to be patient and slow, but i'm confident we are going to see evidence come out once this is done but this will take time and it is a very risky operation. >> as i'm sure you know pro-palestinian protests evacuated the dnc last night, they also stopped traffic on the -- bridge. they are following president biden around of the country. in just a few minutes i will speak with one of the activists there at the dnc and is calling for a cease-fire. what do you say to other democrats who are demanding any media to cease fire from israel? >> you know, abby, i think any media cease-fire would be a gift to hamas. a unilateral cease-fire without providing any response where hamas to implement a cease-fire, where hamas has to turn over the israeli civilians who they have taken hostage, that is meaningless. it only gives time for him us to regroup, and for the performative kinds of protest we saw last may at the dnc i was on the national mall on tuesday there were nearly 300,000 supporters of israel, peacefully marching, not marching, just standing in unison listening to speakers. that was the kind of demonstration and support for israel. clearly there was an attempt to change the media narrative, we saw that last night from a small group, with the american jewish community stands from behind the idea of ensuring the security of israel's real. the united states to protect the southern border, and i'm glad the -- strong point we must's sister protects the billion, lives and pushing israel, not but all of that comes together and the unilateral cease fire wouldn't mind that. >> all right, joel, rubin thank you so much for joining. us >> thanks, abby. >> as i just noted, i will speak live with the organism behind those cease-fire protest outside of the dnc that you see there. we will talk to her about why she is taking issue with the police's account of what happened. plus, botox, honeymoons, sexual content, what a damning investigation reveals about how george santos allegedly spent his campaign cash. and, disturbing allegations tonight against her pop superstar diddy by the singer cassie involving, abuse, even blowing up a rivals car. >> look, george santos is no danny ocean, allegedly. today, a house ethics report with six -- -- complex web of unlawful activity woven by santos. the report the this is pretty straightforward. it says, quote, santos thought to -- house candidacy for his own personal financial profit. santos according to the report blatantly stole from his campaign to deceive donors, report fictitious loans, and told a constant series of lies to its constituent donors and staff. eulogists but they fixed or jaw-dropping. both because of the harebrained nature of so many of santos's schemes, and because of what he allegedly spent those ill gotten funds on. six grand at farah gollum the ultra luxury designer shoe company, maybe responsible for these red leather sneakers who were at the capitol. for grant at hermès the french fashion how santos allegedly did this while basically being broke. but that is not what he would have had you the taxpayer belief. >> i can say that i did not handle donations. >> in one case it says, your personal bank account, $12,000 but it designer goods, benefited yourself with the donors. >> essentially everything i do, everything i have ever spent in my account is going to be deemed us but my god george santos still, money george santos but close, that is what i buy, i have been a kind of the same source for many years. if you go through my closet, it is not like i'm asked and bottle of my clothes, all of my shoes in the last campaign. >> there were hotels and taxi bills from las vegas charged to his campaign, trips to atlantic city casinos where he played pretend as a high, roller charged all that to the campaign as well. makeup at sophora charged to the campaign. botox even charge to the campaign. onlyfans charged to the campaign as well. for those unfamiliar, onlyfans is a diy risky site where you can subscribe. it is that last, won the literal thirst traps that are so head-scratching because santos literally and i'm not making this up he said this. >> speaking of appeal, is it true you have an onlyfans page and you can peel a banana with your feet? >> i don't have, one and i will indulge you, this are just discovered what onlyfans was about three weeks ago when it was brought up in a discussion in my office. >> what did you think? >> i was oblivious to the whole concept. >> oblivious to onlyfans? another now proven lie. despite all of that, santos is still ending it. on acts, he, wrote it is a disgusting politicize smear that shows the depth of how low our federal government has sunk. now santos today said that he won't seek reelection. it means at least for now, he can't allegedly spent other peoples money to keep up his lifestyle of the rich and famous, but when we hear from him again, and i'm sure that will be soon, do not be surprised if he trades what cringeworthy comparison for another. >> you come for, me i got right back for, them because i thinknk for far too long have gotten awaway with getting along to get along. so no, it is not going to stayay that way anymore. i will call themem out. you want kamala, i will call you a sellout. mitt romomney, the mangoes to te ststate of thehe union of the united s states weararing a -- lapel print tells me a latina game and i i should not sit in front,t, i should d be in the b. guess what, , rosa parks would not sisit, no matter my going to send them back. that is just a reality of how it works. >> and here's another thing you might remember this. santos also allegedly embezzled thousands of dollars donated dollars to save homeless veterans dying service dog. that veteran says, he knew santos as anthony devolder. in 2016, santos aka -- set up a gofundme for -- its purpose was to pay for a 3000 dollar surgery for his pit bull sapphire. now he never saw any of that money. he sadly passed away in january 2017, and -- joins me now from new york. thank you so much for being here tonight. what is your reaction to all of what has been laid out in black and white on paper from this ethics committee report? >> it is so much, it is hard to take it all in. it is almost a vindication tonight, abby. and, south fire, she is probably pretty happy about this as well. this poor girl, she said for the last three or four months of her life because he stole money from, me and from her. >> that is her right there on the box. >> that is my little girl. >> the last two or three weeks of her life i knew she was going out, and i had nothing i could do to bring her any comfort, were to keep her alive, and when she died it was three or four weeks before a had another dog. i -- and not having a dog in my life for those couple of weeks it was devastating to me. i would fall down on many is crying in the shower and one man is responsible for that. for me thinking about taking my own, life for losing my companion, my best friend, and my medication, he needs to be in jail. that is where he is headed. i just saw all the things he spent money on, all the clothes, botox, sophora, i wonder what he spend sapphires money on? probably some makeup, probably a stupid pair of red shoes. and the people of new york, they deserve better. he has been an embarrassment to them, and he has not done anything for them. his whole entire stenting congress has been defending himself from things he should never have been involved with in the first place. >> are you shocked that he is even still in congress? >> i am. i can't believe kevin mccarthy allowed him just in congress as long as he did. mike johnson now is definitely not going to let him go. i can't believe a few democrats actually did not vote to have him expelled a couple weeks ago. it is a shame. those guys obviously, fraud and a liar. he is gone on tv and said i lied, and that my story is fake, that people had made me up. that i'm a fake veteran, that he did not rip off. i'm here, george. i am a real person. i have medals to show it. i have a dog right here who is not with me anymore thanks to you. what do you have to show? a whole bunch of lies. you keep embarrassing yourself every time you come on tv, and you try to defend yourself, just stop. like mitt romney, said be quiet, sit back. >> richard ossoff, i'm sorry. i can't say that enough, sorry about the loss of your dog and your companion. thank you for joining us tonight. >> thank you for a long way to come out here and this needs to be said, he makes himself look bad enough, and he is trying to hide how bad he made himself look with what he did to me. i will keep hunting, him and i will be a all his court appearances, and i'm not going to shut up, and i'm going to let him know, and let everybody know what he did until he is behind bars. he has to start selling off some of those choker clothes that he wears, because prison commissaries not cheap. he's going to need to have somebody in his bank account to pay for ramen noodles and crackers. good luck in jail george. >> thank you so much. >> thanks, abby. >> and new tonight, cnn is learning that police had intelligence of violence ahead of last night cease-fire protest in d.c.. we'll speak with one of the groups who organized that protest, who disputes the police's account of what happened. the power goes out and we still have wifi to do our homework. and that's a good thing? great in my book! who are you? no power? no problem. introducing storm-ready wifi. now you can stay reliably connected through power outages with unlimited cellular data and up to 4 hours of battery back-up to keep you online. only from xfinity. home of the xfinity 10g network. >> it was the chaotic scene at the dnc that you saw unfold last night on the show, u.s. capitol police clashing with protesters calling for a gaza cease-fire. nearly a dozen lawmakers had to be evacuated from inside the building, and the night ended with six officers injured according to capitol police, and one, person a protester alleged punching an officer. tonight u.s. capitol police is defending its actions, calling out the groups of protest for not being peaceful, and for failing to obey orders to move back from the dnc is building. but protesters are pushing back on those claims, saying it was the police who turned violent and would attack them. i want to bring in one of them -- the national spokesperson for the organization if not now which describes itself -- among those taking part in the protest last night and eva, thank you for joining us. -- but, you and your organization released a statement earlier today saying, protesters have linked arms, right as we saw in front of the entrances, was the objective to prevent lawmakers from being able to leave by blocking the angel
