director christopher wray are testifying on the threats to america that are now growing. open border will do that. they are pointing to an explosion of anti-semitism we're seeing as well since hamas terrorists tortured, raped, killed, israeli citizens on october 7th. the second hearing defense secretary austin and secretary of state antony blinken also facing questions today for their part on america's response so far to the 25 attacks on u.s. military men and women serving in the middle east. and testimony was just getting underway at that hearing when police had to remove disruptive protestors from the gallery. first it was a woman, just one, and then it was a crowd. >> stop funding this brutal massacre. >> israel's genocide is a terrible thing. >> pray for the children of gaza. >> cease-fire now. >> harris: they held up their hands covered in what we assume is fake blood, paint, something as they called for a cease-fire. it is day 25 of the fighting between the israeli military and hamas killers. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." israel's militar

i want to just start by taking in what christopher wray said. the jewish population is a little more than 2%, almost nothing in the united states. more than 60% of the threats. we can look at data or we can talk to our friends and family about how it feels. it's never felt this way in the united states -- i'll start with jews, for jews the level of concern and fear is palpable. >> it's understandable, right. threats to the jewish community have been an inescapable aspect of life in america for as long as we can remember. when you look at the statistics, some of which the director discussed today, that has been elevating over the last few years. so between 2021 and 2022 the adl says anti-semitic acts went up 29%. the director quoted 60% of religious-based threats are directed at the jewish community. that's a number he clarified later that was before the current unrest in gaza. we are at a watershed moment for this community and for federal law enforcement and intelligence's ability to get out in front of the threats and protect our communities.

i mean, christopher wray testified today that -- maybe this is all public now, maybe the terrorists,et. quote, one terrorist organization after another calling for attacks and we should wake up. it's time to be concerned. we are in a dangerous period. what is the true level of alarm among people that have the jobs you once had in government? >> i think the alarm is quite high because mary was noting there are extremists on both sides of this issue that are fueling anger, fear, anxiety and are trying to inspire individuals to take violent action. so whether or not you are a foreign terrorist organization or even a domestic extremist organization, you can, in fact, use what's going on right now as a way to incite -- as a way to encourage violent acts, which is why the fbi, homeland security, local law enforcement as well as our intelligence community need to be extra vigilant to see what might be happening, to be able to find out through their sources, technical and human source networks whether or not there are active plans under way to try to operationalize some of these sentiments,

attorney general, do you believe christopher wray is a competent director of the fbi? >> i think he is extraordinary and experienced -- >> thank you, you certainly don't think he would knowingly give false testimony? >> i'm sure he would not. >> are you aware that he implicated you in a sweeping abuse of power?>> i doubt he would characterize whatever he said in that way. >> well, he testified about the school board memo that you issued october 4th of 2021 in which you mobilized federal law enforcement powers against american parents. of course you didn't put it quite like that, instead you found a pretext which is stated right here in the first line of the memo. there has been a disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation and threats of violence against school administrators, board members, teachers and staff. what was your basis for making that claim? >> i will say again, as i have testified numerous times, in response to exactly the same question, that i saw numerous reports in the press of violence and threats. >> use all reports in the press so you decided to ins

if you see something, say something, may sound trite, but christopher wray says usually it works, youp something from happening. no known threats, any credible threat at last check. the fbi put out a memo, one of there's since the attack by hamas on israel, warning since hamas provoked the attack. last night on 60 minutes they spoke about terrorism since the hamas attack. >> calling law enforcement and attacks we've been able to prevent have included somebody who made the phone call and attacks that have not been prevented k4rding somebody that had that information but for some reason didn't make that phone call. >> the head of canada said he and his kounlt counter parts need to do some soul searching. >> anybody being done differently to make sure everybody stays safe? >> as part of analysis of the situation, we're constantly making sure we have the latest intelligence and that we're looking at all intelligence available in the right way. merrick garland directed all 94 u.s. attorney offices to work with jewish american community and muslim american to make sure people feel safe and

today the fbi director christopher wray said it's becoming more and more dangerous for jewish americans, and that anti-semitism is nearing what he called historic levels. >> the jewish community is uniquely, uniquely targeted by pretty much every terrorist organization across the spectrum. and when you look at a group that makes up 2.4 roughly of the american population, it should be jarring to everyone that that same population accounts for something like 60% of all religious-based hate crimes. >> the adl, the anti-defamation league says anti-semitic incidents are up nearly 400% since october 7th. new york's governor kathy hochul announcing that a person is in custody in connection with anti-semitic threats against jewish students at cornell university in ithaca, new york. that's just one of several incidents on college campuses across the country since the war began, and it's not just anti-semitism that's on the rise. it's also islamophobia. the council on american islamic relations says complaints of incidents targets muslim americans have increased nearly threefold since october 7th

. >> thank you larry, christopher wray head of fbi testified today that anti-semitism in america wasic levels. now for jews to have anti-semitism at historic levels, that is saying something, it is really bad. and i think this is you know, kind of core of the problem, when i was in administration, i dealt with this issue, i was yelling from the rooftops we have to watch anti-semitism on the left. you know everyone said, what are you talking about it is always on the right the nazis and neo-nazis, they are horrible people. but you know who they are. right, you know who they are, they don't have a lot of money or funding, and they are not making policy arguments, they are spewing hatred. they are easy to identify, on lift it is more dangerous, they have a lot of money, they hide behind this anti-israel rhetoric and entrenched within academia, all future leaders of our nation are learning to hate israel and to hate jews, at the same time you can't get tenure at an american university if you are pro-israel there is a consensus among professors in academia that israel is always to blame.
