locked down as that chaos, as you can see, erupted. >> lawrence: griff jenkins is live in washington with the details. we have five officers hurt. how far are they, griff? >> griff: six, actually. good morning, guys. and, look, lawrence, this was quite a different vibe than that pro-israel rally on tuesday. this was a violent mob of about 150 pro-palestinian protesters descending on the dnc headquarters demanding a cease-fire in gaza while punching and cursing police officers. forced the capitol into lockdown and the evacuation of lawmakers from the dnc headquarters. congressman brad sherman posting this on social media was just evacuated from the dnc after pro-terrorists anti-israel protesters grew violent, pepper spraying police officers and attempting to break into the building. and congresswoman anna paulina luna saying this my husband, new band i are in my office in the capitol that just went into

lockdown because of these uncontrolled protesters. six capitol police officers were injured. one protester was arrested for assault on an officer. yet, protest organizers claim it was a peaceful demonstration. watch. >> building tonight the democratic leadership have not been listening to the 80% of us from our diverse community to support cease-fire and stop the genocide of palestinians. and instead of being method with leaders engaging with us, and instead of being met, again, protest met by police. >> griff: protest organizers released a statement violently attacked them and left 90 of their protest friends with injuries. we'll see if there is any updates to that bring it to you as we get it. guys, send it back to you in the grand ole opry. >> steve: griff, the organizers said they insisted it was peaceful. it. >> griff: they say they just showed up, peacefully linked

arms in front of the entrance to the dnc and that the police just started to attack them, these organizations by the way, steve, is the democratic socialists of america and the jewish voice for peace group that we have seen in these protests on college campuses as well. as can you see from the video and congressman brad sherman a democrat who says that the protesters attacked the police and pepper sprayed them, even two sides to this story but the video, i think, tells the facts. >> brian: and the -- >> steve: i was going to say, brian, they should do a split screen. 300,000 people two days earlier. verls success 100 people last night. where these are the two different sides. people should make a choice. which side are you on? >> and there is a bit of irony worth pointing out, i think, too. because they are demanding a cease-fire while engaging in

violence. >> brian: right. they have no idea. all they have to do is look at the video of the idf going in there. bringing in incubators. bringing in gas. bringing in supplies for hospitals while pulling out m-16 rifles. rpgs, and you got to see the armaments in these hospitals. they have to go in to those cities in order to eradicate hamas from this planet. they have no choice. it is just idiotic and ignorant to think that israel is the problem here. >> lawrence: we got to stop calling these protests peaceful. you can't obstruct the entry into a private business. you just can't do that. >> lawrence: you can't punch a cop. >> lawrence: that's not peaceful. you have can't pepper spray cops and think it's okay. i just feel like after the summer of love and we allowed people to just go crazy and set stuff on fire, we have a new group of pro-jihadists,

pro-hamas people marching around our country thrill and saying oh it's peaceful. that's not peaceful. >> steve: that's a great point. if i could just add to thacious lawrence, it's worth pointing that out the peaceful 300,000 gathered on the mall organized it, had a permit to do it what we saw last night prompted the capitol police to put out a tweet in a public notice to the public to say avoid this area near the dnc headquarters because an unruly group of protesters are engaging in violent, uncontrolled activities. what they put out to the community. so this posed a risk to the capitol hill neighborhood. >> brian: right, these democratic voters going after the democrats in their headquarters. good luck with that, guys. you started it. now it's blowing up in your face. >> ainsley: thank you, griff. i also noticed not only how peaceful the pro-israel rally was. but the difference is stark in how both sides are handling. this hamas came in and brutally attacked israel.

israel dropped familiar threats down to let people know move to the south. don't stay in the north. then we interviewed a guy who was trying to get to the pro-israel valley the other day. and do you remember we interviewed him. was it yesterday? and he said he was on one of the planes. it was two days ago. he was on one of the planes and couldn't get off the plane because the bus drivers didn't show up because they don't agree with israel. >> steve: they didn't want to drive jewish people. >> ainsley: i asked them should those bus drivers be fired? he said i don't know if i want to go that far. they sore peaceful and kind and nice. they don't deserve. this. >> steve: ultimately what is going on with hamas, who is pulling the strings? iran. who is financing it? iran. we know that. >> ainsley: hezbollah and hamas. >> steve: we have got a poll that shows exactly is joe biden too accommodating to iran the answer and overwhelming super majority say yes by 70% 7%, one

tenth of that say yeah, it's about right. >> only 7% say it's about right. you got the president who campaigned on this. we see the aggression that is happening. number one state sponsor of terror, they are the ones providing the weapons, the money, $100 million, actually per year to hamas. this is a poll that is just not republicans, brian. these are democrats, independents that say the president is just not doing enough. >> brian: they have a totally different philosophy. what president trump said is forget about this iran deal and all hands on deck to isolate them. and stop with their revenue and stop buying their oil. and instead, this president comes. in we stop drilling for oil. and we go into our reserves and to keep the price down. they told iran you can go deliver oil. you're the ones who can manufacture the oil. on top of that they said we would love to get back into that deal. a lot of people think that

democrats they were under the impression that the american people were behind this movement. they are not. in fact, when they put out the iranian deal to curtail their nuclear program, they could not get the majority of senators people like chuck schumer. this is a terrible deal. i don't want any part of it. now that they are allowed to prop up their economy, they are yoursing that money to pay hezbollah, hamas, islamic jihad and foment all this terror around the region. and the american people say by a seven out of 10 say way too accommodating. >> ainsley: hamas is hiding not only their weapons -- we saw the video of them at the boy scouts facility. they were hiding weapons there also being reported this morning the idf went into the hospital. the al shifa hospital hiding weapons inside as we expected. they have video of mri room hiding ammo, grenades, cartridges and ak-47s in this mri room at the hospital. >> steve: unbelievable. >> lawrence: they continue to deny that there is any terror

activity there. i love by the way the al jazeera reporter yesterday that was questioning folks at the hospital, and once that person started to say hey, hamas is involved in here. they cut to commercial. so, we know what side they stand in this debate. >> brian: one last thing to add, these houthi rebels, keep your eye on them. they have created havoc in saudi arabia. they came in this administration and took them off the terror watch list. they are shot down our predator drone. they are shooting into israel. saudi arabia knocked some of these missiles down and we knocked some down yesterday. iran is behind that, too. >> ainsley: also, hamas said we will release 50 of the hostages in a deal if you all do a three day cease-fire. a three-day pause and you send in more humanitarian aid. no word yet on if israel will agree to that. probably not. >> steve: what do the polls say in the polls say americans say joe biden too accommodating to iran. more on that in a minute. in the meantime live from the

grand ole opry house, carley joins us with some news starting in washington. >> carley: that's right. a big story here. a fox news alert. the senate passing house speaker mike johnson's stop gap spending bill last night. it funds the government through early next year. the bill easily passing by a vote of 87-11. the move averts a government shutdown right before the holidays. the bill is on its way to president biden's desk, and he is expected to sign it. and happening today, final vote tallies are expected as the united auto workers decided on a tentative contract with general motors. right now the outcome is too close to call. the uaw vote tracker shows 55 to around 60% of members are voting against the contract. union officials do not expect an immediate walkout if the deal is voted down. and it's a holiday hit, travis and jason kelce's promise song rises to the top of the charts. >> cars big as cars, rivers as

democrats have decided and this is a theory. they decided that they're going to avoid war with china by having a pact with china. democrats and chinese. and the losers in that pact, they are going to have economic pact, they also eye to eye on censorship issues. who loses in this pact? chinese who want freedom and conservatives. because they are going to censor conservatives and all these economic interests they work on in order to avoid the conflict. in the end, freedom loses for everybody, in china and here and around the world. >> lawrence: pete, it looks like that our administration, they are just not weak but they are also naive. they feel like we can work with our enemies and somehow everything will be okay. it's not just china, it's iran. it seems to be their world view that american diplomacy can work without strength. >> pete: no doubt. rachel used the right phrase sizing them up. i have sat at a table not that fancy and cleaned up with iraq
