thanks for joining me today. i ll see you back here next saturday at 8:00 a.m. eastern. smerconish starts now. terrorists turned tiktok influencer. i m michael smerconish in philadelphia. against the backdrop of anti-semitism running rampant online and off, osama bin laden was trending this week. dozens of young americans have posted videos on tiktok expressing sympathy with bin laden, the terrorist who orchestrated the september 11th attacks after they discovered a two decades old letter he wrote critiquing the united states, including its support of israel. among many heinous quotes, your law is law of the rich and wealthy people who hold sway in their political parties and fund their election campaigns with their gifts. behind them stand the jews, who control your policy, media and economy. there s a lot more to it. it s about 4,000 words, but you get the gist. it began to recirculate this week on tiktok, where videos on the topic garnered 14 million views by thursday. n
The days biggest political and news stories, with interviews and reporting from around the nation. Unless they comply with equally bizarre set of convictions. I feel torn, playing around the margins of how ludicrous this is and part of me want to probe the implications of the investigation. Sean hannity is a person who shared a lawyer with the president , michael cohen, that he hid from the public who is now under Serious Investigation and strain who just last night the if hes finished dealing with the privileged aspects of all of the materials they raided on him including seized Tape Recordings of the president.
