what a great crowd. how are we all doing? welcome to hannity. we are back with our live studio audience. welcome if you're -- you want to -- [cheers and applause] >> sean: these are all my rowdy friends and they're the only normal people in all of new york if you're watching at home. by the way, big shout 0, berto's one of the best italian restaurants in long island fed everyone in my staff tonight, they have eight restaurants in long island, thank you guys. now tonight you're going to love this show. in just moments you're going to the meet the son of the founder of hamas, going to join us live on set with a message about this brutal terrorist group. he knows from the inside out, responsible for death, torture, destruction on both sides of gaza's border. also tonight we will bring you the very latest on biden's impeachment inquiry. it's getting very interesting. brand new subpoena likely causing a lot of anxiety for certain, a certain starving paint by artist number -- artist. the guy that paints by numbers. any idea who i'm talking about? zero experience hunter. so we'll have an update on that. also tonight, joe biden is weakness embodied on every single level. he's now mired in scandals and serious allegations of corruption. his policies now have resulted in nothing but widespread chaos here at home and abroad suffering and violence all around the world and he seems not to know what to do about any of it. and worst of all joe does not seem to understand that literally everything that is going on, domestically and on the world stage, frankly maybe it's his cognitive decline. maybe it's his cognitive dissonance but joe biden is not touch with reality. today he was seemingly unaware of his historically bad poll numbers when questioned by our own peter doocy. take a look. >> why do you think it is you're trailing trump in all the swing state polls. >> because you don't read the polls. ten polls, eight of them i'm beating him. eight of them. you guys only do two, cnn and new york times. check it out. check it out we'll get you a copy of those polls. >> you don't believe you're trailing in battle ground states. >> no, i don't. >> sean: the new york times has joe biden losing in all but one battle ground state. by the way it wasn't a sean hannity poll, a fox news poll, the new york times poll and meanwhile his approval rating is nearing all time lows in nearly every major poll getting as low as 36 in reuters. it's really not a mystery as to why americans are far less safe under joe biden's pathetically weak leadership. in the past 24 hours alone, our u.s. soldiers stationed in the middle east have been attacked four more times by iranian proxies. now that brings the total number of attacks to a whooping 46 in just the past couple of weeks. so how has joe biden responded? sadly, he hasn't done much of anything. outside of two very small strikes on what were remote, empty warehouses in syria, that's not a response. joe seems to think that he's taking on the iranian revolutionary guard head on. no, he's not. take a look. >> why did you strike iran's revolutionary guard. >> because they struck us. >> reporter: and president biden why -- >> reporter: would you hit them again? >> they hit us. >> sean: he didn't hit the iranian revolutionary guard. he hit empty warehouses. so needless to say i ran and their proxies are undeterred. now the attacks have only increased in recent days. no signs of slowing down. so naturally instead of fighting back joe is ready to capitulate in fact is now pressuring israel to call for a ceasefire. why the ceasefire? they are defending their very country. it was the worst attack in israel's history. one month after that he's saying, oh, we need a pause in the fighting. no, we don't. what israel needs is our support for their complete and total victory over radical extremists and terrorists. joe seems a little too uncomfortable politically with israel's fight for their survival against a terrorist regime openingly vowing to murder israelis again and again and again until they are all dead. take a look. >> did you ask for a three-day pause to netanyahu? >> you know i've been asking for a pause for a lot more than three days. yes. . >> reporter: did you ask him to pause for three days to get the hostages out, for that length of time. >> yes, i've been asking for a longer pause for some. >> sean: we got the ask, does your president your commander in chief joe biden have any convictions at all or is he beholden to the rad counties in his party like congress one talib and some others. now our allies the world's only jewish state is in the fight for its very existence at this moment but the moment joe gets the slightest political pressure from inside his own party and the radicals in his party, he folds leak a house of cards. his fragility is disgusting to witness and luckily israel does understand the mission and that is, here's prime minister benjamin netanyahu on earlier with bret baier. take a look. >> reporter: how firm has the push been by president biden and his administration for these humanitarian pauses and what have you agreed to? >> well, one thing we haven't agreed to is a ceasefire. a ceasefire with hamas means surrender to hamas and surrender to terror and a victory of iran's axis of terror. there won't be a ceasefire without the release of israeli hostages. >> sean: now would be a good time for joe to stand in solidarity with our ally israel as they stood with us after 2,977 americans were killed on 9/11. israel never wavered in their support of our actions after that day. now would also be a good time to stand against anti-semitism and anti americanism here at home and, by the way, not just from the shadows of a cowardly press release, the explosion of anti jewish hatred and extremism across the country has been downright shocking. i never thought i would see it in our lifetime. we have seen it on the streets of major cities, we have seen it at america's quote, most prestigious universities. we have heard tonight the halls of congress and the oh, so virtuous media mob. in fact both fake news cnn and the associated press, they actually hired local freelance journalists to cover the war in gaza, despite their enthusiastic participation in the brutal october 7th massacre in southern israel. they were reportedly embedded with, quote, the terror group hamas. both the ap and cnn, they have since cut ties with these so-called photographic journalists or reporters but only after conservative outlets discovered their ties to terrorism. meanwhile more major anti-israeli protests this week including in new york city and some have demanded israel be wiped off the map. as they say, the saying is, from the river to the sea, meaning wipe israel off the map. others are calling for a global infan tad a. we have seen signs that read quote keep the world clean featuring a picture, star of david in a trash can. a few protesters holding signs glorifying the october 7th attack. we have seen hamas flags amid a sea of palestinian flags and zero american flags. no one in these protests seems to blame hamas for anything. instead, all the hatred, all the blame is focused in one direction. take a look. >> five, six, seven, eight. >> five, six, seven, eight. >> israel's a terror state. >>the israel is asterror state [chanting] >> free, free palestine. >> free, free palestine. >> free, free, free palestine. >> sean: our own sara carter was at that protest today earlier in new york city. she joins us now with more. sarah thank you. >> thank you. >> sean: i think it's important that we tell the audience the truth. that things were getting really out of control. we had security with you. >> correct. >> sean: and security said we're out of here. >> the intimidation factor was certainly there, sean. i have covered the wars, i was in afghanistan, i was in iraq, i've covered the us mexico border. i've spent time in what we would consider volatile and dangerous places. these rallies, these anti israel rallies, are on the verge of becoming very volatile and dangerous and they can be, in the blink of an eye, in the blink of an eye. i kept asking the same question, is hamas a terrorist organization? i've covered terrorism, i've covered al qaeda and islamic state i have a seen what they've done to the people, a mass genocide and no one would answer that question. take a look at this. >> reporter: do you want the hamas -- >> at he not about that. >> reporter: yeah, hamas targeted. >> if you want to talk racist talking points that's fine. >> reporter: hamas entered israel and killed 1600. >> is hamas a terrorist organization. >> you want a two-state. >> reporter: i'm only asking a simple question. is hamas -- not palestinians, is hamas -- >> we're saying that we have -- >> you're murdering a generation of people and you want them to do two state. >> there's only one person that's in charge of that, the israeli government. >> reporter: who attacked who? who attacked who? >> it's not about palestine or palestinians it's about hamas and unfortunately most of these people cannot differentiate between the two. >> is hamas a terrorist organization? is hamas a terrorist? >> yes. >> yes, hamas is a terrorist organization. >> reporter: but you won't answer that question. >> because you don't get it. i don't have to answer a question that you're not going to understand how to comprehend regardless. >> reporter: are you scared? right now? >> no, i'm not scared. this is my city, this is my country and they're not going to take it away from she. [cheers and applause] >> reporter: i loved her. i loved the way this woman stood there and said i'm a jewish american and they are not going to move me and they are not going to intimidate me. >> sean: in that crowd? that's pretty brave. >> reporter: it was very brave. i was at one point i was surrounded and i didn't realize what was going on behind me and i was asking a question, and i was surrounded by people saying shut her down, shut her down. and as they were coming around me, i could feel the intimidation from some of the men that were leading the group. they were staring me down. and i looked at them and i said something sean that i believe is very important. i want everyone to understand this. when hamas targeted those innocent people, they weren't fighting another soldier. they were taking babies and little children and innocent women, and these terrorists ripped them apart. there is nothing about that but other than a demonic hate, right, that we saw. but it was cowardly. stand up and fight. if you are going to fight someone, fight someone as a soldier or someone that was trained. but to take a baby and to kill a child, makes them nothing more than terrorists. that is all they are. and while their leadership sits in qatar sitting on hundreds of millions of dollars and sends their own people to do the dirty work to be the suicide bombers and trains their children to hate, and targets innocent people, i want everyone in america who thinks they know what's going on to realize that they are being the useful idiots for these terrorist groups. and, you know, they say first it's the saturday people, then it's the sunday people, right? so extremism is not just about jewish people. it's about us, too, and the western world. >> sean: what a great report. sarah crete, thank you. be careful >> now our next guest probably knows more about hamas than anyone we've ever interviewed. the son of the co-founder of hamas. now he has seen the barbaric group up close and personal and knows all too well about the e advice of terror. take a look at this. >> hamas does not serve the palestinian people. hamas serve iran. those are the masters of hamas. so they lie about nationalism that they are a national movement and they care about the palestinian people. look at them using palestinian people as a human shield. we need to free gaza from hamas, this is what palestinian is doing, doing them the greatest favor by bringing hamas down. >> sean: here now the author of the best seller son of hamas former informant for israeli intelligence. sir, thank you for coming. >> appreciate it. [cheers and applause] >> sean: your father is one of the co-founders of hamas. >> correct. >> sean: hamas has in their charter the destruction of israel. what do you know? what do you know about hamas that everybody should know? >> well, hamas is not a political party. it's a religious movement that is waging a religious war. it's a holy war against the jewish people. if hamas was a political party, then we can apply pressure on them, bring them to the negotiating table where they can compromise. but hamas, as a religious organization, nobody can satisfy their, really just ambition, because it's a condition in their charter. >> sean: why is this hatred for the jewish people in is sflooel what is this rooted in? >> well, now, we cannot ask the question why all this jewish hatred in the united states and the rest of the world. >> sean: you mean anti-semitism. >> anti-semitism and hatred against the jewish scombreebl but specifically, you grew up as one of the founders of hamas. why do they hate the jewish people so much? >> there is a religious dimension to that, there is ideological dimension, there is political dimension, there is cultural difference. we're talking about hamas, seven century mentality where israel is very advanced, 21st century. so the gap is very huge. hamas represents chaos. this is where they 35. israel presents order, democracy. hence those are the two opposite extremes that have been clashing. >> sean: let me ask you this. you just saw a group of people being interviewed by sara carter. they don't know anything about hamas. they can't say the words hamas is a terrorist organization. why are so many people so ignorant of what the truth is? because i'm sure if hamas could find you they would kill you, would they not? >> well, they wouldn't hesitate but i'm not the only one on hamas target list. and these people live in denial basically. they don't know what palestine is. and what i say, you know, today as an american, i invite all these possibly to educate themselves first. we cannot lose sight, because hamas started this war. what we need to do, we need to remove hamas from power. if hamas stays in power there will be more gaza wars. >> sean: but you've got hamas, you have hezbollah, you have she a, sunni, syria, the houthi refshls. >> make an example for all israelists around the world and for all extremists savages that if they attempt to destroy any democracy, not just israel any democratic model that we will stand united and fight them together instead of being divided like this. [cheers and applause] >> sean: it seems regardless of sunni or shiya that iran is fermenting this terror. we are told they were actively involved in the plotting, planning and killing that happened on october the 7th. that would be the equivalent based on our population versus is real of losing 38 thousand americans in a day. we lost 2,977 on 9/11. so its this a belief system, does this convert or die? is this i sis like that either the world converts to islam or their version of islam, radical islam or they get killed, they're infa dels. >> there is ideology that inspires them. >> sean: radical islamic ideology. >> that's one. then there's tribalism, which is seventh century mentality where a five, for a hundred years until they get the head of the tribe. so this is what hamas is saying. it's the arabian mentality that they view israel as a tribe. they want to keep trying until they annihilate israel or get annihilated in the process. >> sean: you see this anti-semitism all over europe, all over the world, in our colleges, in the halls of congress. where do you think that somehow so many have been indoctrinated into a belief system, that somehow thinks israel is the problem when the world was started by the terrorists. the world was brought by innocent people. innocent people were killed. since when do we blame vehicle snowplows why are so many people sarah spoke to so ignorant of who piece people are and what their goals and aims are. >> they don't have the power to condemn hamas as a terrorist group. >> they don't have the power or the snailing. >> can be in denial because they just want to project whatever they want. >> what made you get away from your family. this is a long journey. i did not leave hamas yesterday. >> reporter: been a while. >> it's been 25 years since i decided this is a dangerous movement and we have to fight against it. >> and if they knew where you were on any given day, you would be -- >> doesn't matter i'm not scared of hamas. >> i'm not asking if you're scaring, i'm asking if they knew where to find and kill you, they won't hesitate. >> they will not. >> reporter: when we come back we get reaction to all of this from former secretary of state mike pompeo and his reaction to this explosive interview. also the latest on the israeli war and later, we have huge news about the subpoenas that have gone out for hunter biden and joe biden's brother and others straight ahead. busy news night. stay with us.
