president that makes this sort of deckorationdecoration but they have been accusing this group and accuse hamas as a 2011 jailbreak of muslim brotherhood members in the revolution there. hamas denies this but they are very damming accusations against the organization. what this also means is it could make a more dangerous situation. egypt has been the broker of peace between israel and hamas over the last three wars. if they do not trust egypt to be a broker anymore, if that does not happen if there is another war, that raises the question who can be the broker of peace, poppy. >> is the president weighing in at all on this? >> reporter: oh we have not heard him weigh in, but makes no illusion that the muslim brotherhood is a terrorism organization and egypt sees the two in the same all radicals all fundamentalists are all part of the same branch or same tree so they have not differentiated between the two, but there still is -- there's an appeal process to be done. this is not over yet. >> right. >> also need to note that hamas's militant wing brigade was declared a terrorist organization by t

does it really matter whether that court labels hamas a terrorist group? >> well yeah it does. everything matters in the middle east poppy. but again, hamas has been looked at as a terrorist group but also as trying to be diplomatic and trying to use the other elements of national power to try to bring some type of peace to the middle east. >> right. >> again, we swing left and right which is so difficult. at the end of the day, if we're sitting around around a table here it doesn't really matter what that egyptian court says. but it will be interesting to see what president sisi comes out with especially what happened to the egyptian christians in libya. maybe this is a new turn to really start clamping down on some of this extremism. >> i wonder if you think as you said hamas has been viewed by some as having an ability unlike others to act as a negotiator if you will in the region. do you think as our ian lease said last hour from cairo this could be something that actually back fires on egypt? >> yeah it could. unfortunately a lot of these different diplomatic elements have

. >> now an egyptian court has declared hamas a terrorist organization. a decision that the groupbranded shocking and dangerous. it's a label western nations have used against gaza's rulers, , but never an arab nation. in march of last year egypt banned hamas from carry out any activities on its territory, and froze its assets in january an egyptian court designating an organization terrorist organization. it comes just force day after egypt's government announced a new terrorism law which is allows the authorities to close the premise of any declared terrorist organization and freeze its assets. >>> well, a spokesman for hams has condemned the move saying it works against the palestinian people and in favor of israel. >> it's a shocking and dangerous decision that targets the palestinian people and the palestinian resistence. it also relates to the israeli enemy as a friend and hamas the palestinian people and the palestinian resistence as the enemy. this decision will never harm hamas and it's victories or the stand of its leaders but it will directly contaminate the reputation

embassy in london alongside me supporting groups such as hezbollah, hamas. these guys wholly subscribe to the ideologies so it is no surprise that they have been spending the day on british media defending mohammed emwazi and in fact the spokesman for cage said that he was mohammed emwazi was actually a beautiful young man as he knew him, and then he actually shed a tear live on air, when he was reminiscing over this so-called jihadi john, and yet didn't shed any tears for any of the victims of this beheaders. others that this man brutally murdered. showed no remorse for the deaths and no consideration for the family and this is typical of a half-truth narrative of playing the victim constantly and blaming foreign policy, blaming torture. i have opposed guantanamo bay and on the george bush jr. just because we oppose the invasion of iraq or guantanamo doesn't mean islam is the solution. this has to be debunked. >> maajid nawaz and phillip mudd, thank you. >>> take you inside the terror group's empire and the way to counter that message. look at one of the la

group in existence. >> so the idea of banning hamas and putting it on a terrorist list what does that mean practically then, and more importantly what does it mean politically? >> practically it doesn't mean everything, but politically it does, because essentially, it's a political step. there are domestic and other reasons, international reasons where we avoid dealing with hamas, so as not to offend israel because that's israel policy, but as far as the u.s. interests, we find it sometimes necessary to it deal with that group, and we do. >> so is the idea -- i know i'm changing gears here, but i must. is the idea of a two-state solution dead? >> i think so. and most experts think so. the idea of creating or dealing with the -- offering the option of a two-state as a solution to the palestine-israeli problem has been of course tested seriously since the early '90s, and it has failed. there's enough blame to distribute across the map and across all of the parties involved in this conflict. but the fact of the matter today, as we speak the option of a two-state solution is dead in the water and unfortun

the group has previously rejected the u.s. calling hezbollah and hamas terrorist organizations. also there a professor who once gave a lecture about a once quote call to battle between the midwest. >> they don't care that much about islamism. the filter seems to be groups that are apologists for islamism or those that want to think of our community as victims and those that are racializing islam as a race rather than ideology who needs reform. >> the white house is not confirming these or any attendees. >>> can pope francis bring a divided washington together? the pontiff will make a historic address to congress during his fall visit to the united states. francis will meet with president obama september 24th before speaking with em ins of the senate and house on september 24th. he will be the first pontiff to address the u.s. congress. his message peace and compassion. the open's other spots new york city and philadelphia. >> the irs is sacking tom brady. he owes the government agency more than 60,000 dollars for winning the super bowl. he has to pay 47,000 on the share of the 97

donations while the clinton's was the top diplomat as well as qatar accused of backing hamas and other islamic militant groups. the disclosure is a worry for democrats ahead of a potential clinton white house run with critics from watchdog groups worrying if rules are being circumvented. >> unable to get the records for years and years after she was secretary of state. i doctor a broken promise, if we were supposed to be able to know whether or not any of these conflicts existed, public was kept in the dark. >> reporter: since 2001 the clinton foundation raised $2 billion. a third giving a million dollars in that time foreign individuals in governments. in washington kevin corke, fox news. lori: many thanks to kevin corke. jeb bush is getting criticized from politicians on both sides of the aisle. this is president obama last night on bush's home turf at a town tall in miami. >> i appreciate mr. bush being concerned about immigration reform. i would suggest that what he do is talk to the speaker of the house and the members of his party, because the fact of the matter is -- [ applause ] >> that even after we

this is a safe haven for striss, it's not just isis it's hamas, it's the taliban, it's all sorts of terrorist groups throughout the region. it is straddling the fence, playing both sides of the aisle. i can peck wuk put esh pressure on it, i think mike is right. what is effective and what do we get in the united states. >> carrie you cannot straddle the fence when to comes to isis. can you? >> everybody, do you know what it's so easy we're across on this side of the atlantic, qatar is in a dangerous neighborhood. they helped dis movie gaddafi, they helped broker peace between hamas and israel. they helped fight against assad whereas our president is a coward and won't go fight against assad. so i trust in some ways what qatar is doing and i agree with steve that we have not been a reliable ally to qatar. >> john, frankly i don't trust qatar that much at all in their dealings in the middle east. i know it's dangerous territory they're just a sort boat ride away from iran. i agree with that. i get it. but the fact is i don't trust people that deal with these terror groups. >> absolutely but even if th

an egyptian court has declared hamas a terrorist organization a decision that the group has branded shocking dangerous. it's a label western nations have used against gaza's rulers. never an arab nation. it's an off chute of the egyptian brotherhood until it was outlawed in 2013. in march, last year egypt banned hamas from carrying out any activities on its territory and froze assets. in january, on the brigade designating it the terrorist organization. a judge who issued this new ruling says hamas has targeted civilians and security forces inside egypt's volatile sinai peninsula and aimed to harm the country. it comes four days after egypt's government announced a new terrorism law that allows a closure and freezing of assets. a spokesman for hamas has said it was against the palestinian people and in favor of israel. the palestinian resistance it also relates to the israeli enemy and a friend and to hamas, the palestinian people and the resistance as the enemy. this decision will never harm hamas and its victories or the stand of its leaders but it will contaminate the reputation of egypt.

edge in the face of ongoing threats from nations like iran and syria and terrorist groups likehams and hezbollah -- like hamas and hezbollah. that's why mr. president today we have filed a resolution here in the united states senate welcoming israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu when he addresses a joint session of congress next month. this resolution reaffirms the senate's commitment to stand with israel during times of uncertainty. it reaffirms this body's strong support for israel's right to defend itself from threats to its very survival. and it reaffirms the senate's unequivocal support for the government of the two nations. as of this morning a majority of the united states senate has signed an as a cosponsor to this resolution, and just this afternoon, we are signing a dear colleague letter, which as the presiding officer knows inviting all 100 united states senators to join in support of this resolution. i hope the rest of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle will join me in welcoming the prime minister to washington so we can continue to work together as he details in graphic detail like no

hamas. before 9/11 hezbollah had killed more americans than any other terrorist group on the planet before 9/11. most people don't know that. they did the embassy bombing in beirut, among other things. hezbollah, hezbollah, the stated purpose of hezbollah's existence is to destroy israel. and the iranians-- the iranians provide it with money and weapons. hezbollah conducts terrorist attacks around the world against israel. you may remember one from a couple of years ago in bulgaria, where hezbollah attacked a group of israeli tourists, mostly young people and killed a handful of them and injured 30-some. hezbollah conducts those attacks that would not be possible without the iranians. next you've got iranian support to the shi'a militia groups. you know in some-- you know, in some ways, that's helpful to us today in iraq because they're fighting isis. but those same shi'a groups those same shi'a groups killed american soldiers in iraq by the dozens and dozens and dozens. then you've got iranian support to regional insurgent groups. so you've got iranian support to the houthis in yemen and yo
