he was the only outside observer who got into bin laden's compound in 2012 after teams killed bin laden and before they raise d the building. he's the author of several books including the rise and fall of osama bin laden, and he just published this piece on cnn.com. it's great to see you. you find all of this baffling. how come? >> thank you for having me on the show. first of all, when you look at the people who are posting on tiktok, thr people in their 20s. they are either not alive on 9/11 or they were very young children. they are divorced from the history of this. it's not just the 3,000 americans who were killed by al qaeda. al qaeda was responsible for tens of thousands of deaths of other people around the world. al qaeda helped spark the civil war where iraqis died. he's not a hero. he's not some serious thinker. the letter itself, im i'm not sure was written by bin laden or he had other people helping him. because it also focused on some other issues that bin laden didn't typically focus on. he talks about american tolerance for homosexuality, the drug culture in the west, gl

osama bin laden was a saudi national.f we don't teach the absolute truth of 9/11, and if we are silenced, we have a lawsuit pending in lower manhattan and they are trying to be dismissed from the case because they don't want the truth to be told and again, without a president that will confront the kingdom, without a state department that will stop hiding the truth, you know, i hate to say that we are doomed, but again, it's not so much always what's being taught, it's also what's not being taught and our legislators have the power, they have legislation, they can enact and until tom cotton of arkansas releases his hold on this ensuring justice for families, victims of families of terrorism act, we cannot move forward. and he needs to stand with the americans and stop protecting the kingdom of saudi arabia and so does the american president and so does our state department. >> john: something else we'll be watching with the arkansas senator. quick last question to you, bret. the tiktok influencer whose video we played, ly

tiktokers praise osama bin laden in shocking new low. videos shared with the hashtag letter to america, had 14 million views. tiktok claims only small number of people were sharing the videos condoning bin laden. tiktok plans to scrub any praise of the letter from the platform, saying we are proactively and aggressively removing this content and investigating how it got on our platform. the number of videos on tiktok is small. reports of it trending on our platform are inaccurate, this is not unique to tiktok and appeared across multiple platforms and media. families of the nearly 3000 individuals brutally murdered on september 11th are outraged by people praising bin laden's hateful letter. one family member telling daily mail, it is hard to watch, perhaps they don't realize the radical terrorist wouldn't hesitate a second to take them hostage or kill them or their families. it is time to reeducate americans what happened to us on 9/11. calls to ban the social media app are swirling once again. here is nikki haley. >> i have long said t

and, the israel-hamas war has made osama bin laden a tiktok celebrity. why a letter justifying the 9/11 attacks is leading to new controversy today. plus, a major magazine has identified the biggest 2024 global threat, and it's donald trump and his possible return to the white house. how new york voters are reacting to the revelations in a damning ethics report on george santos. and, an explosive end to elon musk's latest space x test. why the company says this is a success. that's coming up as well. we want to begin though with the war. prime minister benjamin netanyahu of israel has been speaking over the last, hour just wrapping up his press conference with israeli media, where he confirmed there was no deal for the release of hostages held by hamas. but, did call it a sacred mission to do so. these new comments are coming, as we are seeing a whole lot unfold on the ground there as well, over the last 24 hours or so, including residents fleeing parts of southern gaza today, under a warning to do so from israel, as the idf strikes on the southern city

the bin laden thing is disinformation.gets grayer as people think about their own feelings and politics. it's a >> whether or not he knew the truth, you have to be stupid to think that was real. the state just banned being and public. how dumb are you? and he is the next democratic presidential candidate. the bin laden letter is not the best example for this. what you are seeing here is how you are involving hate speech into disinformation, which means you are broadening the target for persecution. once you start with hate speech, one side will corrupted and they get to define what hate speech is. i become something that disagrees with them. if the left says ask and you disprove x, they will say you cannot say that so we will take you off the mat. that is why when elon musk bought twitter and turned it into x, he marginalized other peoples opinions as disinformation off the table. it can include anything from covert vaccines, hunters laptop, and atrocities in gaza. the supporters are too stupid to notice the pendulum will

that's the way bin laden wanted this country to be.t's one way to thing those things and talk about those things. it's another to slaughter 3,000 people that committed the sin of going to work that way, dan. and these kids -- i agree. it's the fault of our education system in many ways -- say they understand where he's coming from. >> the question is where are the checks on these kids completely ignorant misguided education. where are the shock absorbers, that when they develop these naive, news, that say wait and stop. when you see these videos of people going viral, they bought into it. there's no institutional check. if you go through any century, you see crazy ideologies, crazy anti-semitism. we've seen it all. in this environment, we get a transparent view in to it through social media like tik tok and it's also in its own way an accelerant of it. we not only get a window, it spread further than it otherwise would. >> martha: i keep thinking about how the people that keep their eye on social media in al-quaida and isis and hamas,

influencer whose tiktok post on the bin laden letter went viral. so americans watch about 3 billion hours of tiktok every month, a third get their news there. and that's why this incident in the last 24 hours on social media scares a lot of people. the post linked to a letter written by bin laden 20 years ago on the web page of a british newspaper. says jews have no right to be in israel and blames america for the violence in the middle east. she says, i need everyone to stop wa they are doing right now and go read the letter. because "i'm going through like an existential crisis." well, people did. that video got some 2 million views and 200,000 likes with most saying they, too, feel angry, manipulated and lied to by the media, and u.s. schools. >> for someone on tiktok to somehow suggest that this is america's fault or that bin laden, who killed thousands of innocent americans was right, is absolutely disgusting and further evidence that we need to ban tiktok. >> so the conversation then migrated from tiktok over to reddit and twitter, hundreds o

you were the last western journalist to interview osama bin laden.f any young tiktok viewers are watching who saw this video, how would you describe it? >> there are things in that letter that are thematic to the things he told me that night in an al quaeda base in 1998, which is, you know, i predict a black day for america, after which th. he was encouraging a revolution. he said, we beat a superpower before, the russians. and the soviet union fell when we forced them out of afghanistan. but he also said -- and this is thematic to his letter -- you know, you will only understand this as a people when you find a government that represents your interests instead of that of the jews. the anti-semitic theme from osama bin laden started, you know, long before the world discovered -- rediscovered -- this letter. but it's echoed in there. >> yeah, disturbing trend. john miller, thank you. >> thanks. >>> ahead, it did not take long, only a few hours, after donald trump's gag order was lifted here in new york and he returned to social media attacking the ver

tiktoker's praising osama bin laden in a shocking new low. the education department is absolutely responsible for this. they've allowed this kind of rhetoric and taught this kind of rhetoric. they've supported it, enabled it. they announced a new list of universities, and k-12 schools, reporting incidents of anti-semitism -- columbia, cornell, prominent organizations are urging the biden administration to take a proactive approach to address these issues on college campuses. but i don't see the biden administration doing anything about it. >> they are in a tough spot politically. that letter, if you put one of the squad members at the bottom of it and took the portions about israel and portions about the united states, it would sound like they were the authors. it's not just college professors talking about this and high school educators. politicians are coming from the progressive movement of the democratic party and they seem to not understand the biden white house -- they don't know what to do about them. all they have to do is call it out

some people are reading the letter and seem to be praising bin laden's words all over social media.iam. >> what happened in the last 24 hours is emblem attic of something happening everyday, right or wrong, real or not, social media, especially tiktok is transforming the national conversation. an influencer discovered a letter written by osama bin laden on the web page of a british newspaper and posted a video saying bin laden was right, jews have no right to israel and he blames america for any and all violence in the middle east. i need everyone to stop what they are doing right now and read the letters, she says, i'm going through like an existential crisis. her video got two million views and 200,000 likes and they are saying they feel lied to by u.s. media and schools. the conferring migrated to read it in twitter with hundreds of thousands posting similar views. most videos offer zero context of al qaeda and underscores why congressman like mike gallagher want to ban tiktok. >> these people are of course, massive idiots. i just came from watching the footage about the october

some are going so far as to praise bin laden's words. the white house telling cnn today there is never a justification for spreading bin laden's, quote, repugnant, evil and antisemitic lies. all this amid the polarization already being caused by the israel-hamas war. cnn's donie o'sullivan is here to put this into context for us, if you can. i don't know if you can. that's a challenge for you. >> it's a lot to unpack here, jake. >> let's take a step back. why and how did this go viral? >> the why, i mean, the broader context here of course is the israel-hamas war. we know younger generations, particularly a lot of people on tiktok, are far more sympathetic toward the palestinian cause, even at some point hamas, than older generations in the united states. that's the kind of context of what is happening on tiktok. over the past few -- about the past week or so this letter purportedly written by osama bin laden and was released in 2002 started circulating online and was actually initially published by the "guardian" newspaper in the uk whi

why are some young americans on tiktok say they sympathize with osama bin laden? and why now? that's the question i have for the editor-in-chief for semamaphore sam smsmith. >> dozens of young americans on tiktok now say that they sympathize with osama bin laden. you heard that right. the terrorist who orchestrated the 9/11 attacks, the worst terror attacks on united states soil in history suddenly going viral on tiktok. i'm uncomfortable seeing his face on the other side of me on this screen. users have been posting videos on the social media platform supporting a letter bin laden wrote in 2002 criticizing the united states and its support of israel. to justify the targeting and killing of american civilians and filled with antisemitism. ben smith is a former "new york times" media columnist. thanks for being here. people are shocked for a lot reasons. one of the videos posted on tiktok a new york based fluners writes this about bin laden's letter quote, if you have read it let me know if you are also going through a existential crisis because in the last 20 minutes me entire

or i am against this thing, so i'm suddenly for osama bin laden.e not using their critical thinking minds, and we are not coming at it from a sense of humility. we're not coming at it like, i don't know everything, there are experts out here in the world that actually know these things. i don't want my surgeon learning how to do my surgery on tiktok, and i don't want my tiktokers telling me how to do international policy. there are people who are actual experts. and we can learn from social media, about what we should be pain attention to, what we should be seen, what we should be maybe researching more, but to actually get our information solely from social media, it leaves us very vulnerable to understanding the wrong thing. >> help me understand this, stewart. it's clear that there is a line. political rhetoric is inflaming people and inciting violence. paul pelosi is the perfect example. why is it that all sorts of lawmakers are clinging to the idea that protecting free speech is more important than protecting human life? >> it's not really fre

osama bin laden is still being felt today. his violence, his evil, his pure hatred for mankind is still being felt today and now being picked up recklessly on -- i get social media, tiktok, instagram, twitter, most people look at me, look at me, i did this, i do that, good for them. i do as well on twitter. i'm not on tiktok. but we have a responsibility. i am a kidney donor to a complete stranger. that is how you influence others to do good. you did not post -- that was rooted in two decades ago my a twisted evil piece of [bleep] and then faith is okay. you don't. i'm never going to accept it. i'm going to live a life of giving, sharing, and loving. >> so many of the people in their late twenties right now or younger, they don't have any memory of 9/11 they were maybe not born yet. it has been so long, do you think that is one of the reasons why this is happening? yes i mean 9/11 is going to be the next pearl harbor. pearl harbor's were 80 years ago, 9/11 is 23 years ago. the further move move away. i blame that almost cool s

in it bin laden criticizes the u.s.israel and its position toward the palestinian territories. it also spreads anti-semitic and homophobic rhetoric. tiktok is stripping letter to america from its search function. joining me now, jake ward, and msnbc analyst, frank figliuzzi joins us. jake, first, how did this letter go viral to begin with, and how did it spread so fast? >> it seems, chris, that this 21-year-old letter came back to life thanks in part to a post on x from a journalist who essentially posted a compilation of a handful of people on tiktok who had been posting about this letter. at that time, there wasn't an enormous amount of traction. from there, huge traction began, and in just the four days between monday and thursday this month, we saw the searches for bin laden and references to him on x, increased by about 4,000%. we saw searches on you tube go up by about 400%, and across tiktok, millions of views have been racked up by a handful of videos. as you mentioned, tiktok has taken it down. all the major pl

that's what else bin laden writes about in the letter. that's what he says specifically. he says he wants the united states to renounce the culture of hypocrisy and become an islamic nation. so i hope they dig a little deeper. i think these videos will be very problematic for some of these young people as they go through life. i would just warn them to make sure that you know what you are talking about before you put your face on tiktok and start talking about bin laden as some kind of hero. it is absolutely disgusting. >> bill: the guardian has taken it down and issued an explanation as well. back to boston. a group called if not now. if you were with us about three weeks ago, it was a friday night at grand central station in mid town manhattan. there were 1,000 people who shut down the terminal on a friday night. canceled all the trains because they had gathered in their black shirts calling for a cease-fire in gaza. that was long before the idf even got to gaza city, right? if not now is a movement of american jews organizing to end u.s. support for israel's what they

commiserating with osama bin laden's message -- what do you think?> i don't find any of this shocking. these tiktok users have been brainwashed to hate america. it should not be surprising to anybody that they would support somebody like osama bin laden. they are staging pro hamas rallies on college campuses and in big cities across the country. they are obsessed. that's putting it lightly, the oppressor versus oppressed mentality. they think any terrorist organization or group, person, no matter how grotesque their acts are, they are commendable, praiseworthy. it's scary how trendy it has become to hate america. i think the groundwork for world war iii is being laid right now on social media. unless something is done to stop it, you mentioned getting conservatives involved, it's difficult because their voices are constantly suppressed on social media. these will go terribly awry. >> sandra: that won't stop the fact you have somebody going and turning to tiktok for their news. tiktok news consumers doubled since 2020. a third of u.s. newspapers will

young people nationwide are praising osama bin laden, yeah, that osama bin laden, after reading his letterhere next on that. >> carley: first lawrence jones is live from nashville with what is coming up on "fox and friends." hi, lawrence. >> lawrence: i tell you, it was a night to remember, with so much negativity happening in the country, this was a moment to celebrate patriotism, our soldiers and good folk of america coming together to say, we love the country. big show ahead, dennis quaid will join us and sean hannity and moms for liberty. we will continue to honor them today. studio audience two days in a row. you ready for the show today? going to be a good time. i think carley will join us from the set you are at on stage, we'll have a good time. todd, we miss you here. we got a big show coming up. >> todd: next year, my friend. >> lawrence: hopefully. >> todd: i'm designated survivor this year, if something and you lost the shot, i'm ready to go like at state of the union. >> carley: most critical role, todd. >> lawrence: it is, you have security detail, too, and they bring you food

osama bin laden was a terrorist whose goal was to destroy the united states., let's -- you know, this is why i think we should go back to having the pledge of allegiance in every classroom every morning. we need reinstill in people a since of patriotism. this country is unique. it is valuable. it has human rights at a level no country's ever had before and we have to be prepared to defend it. and today, our elites so confused, they're dominated by people who are basically mentally ill. >> sean: when you look at what amounts to somewhere estimated to be senator ron johnson thinks it's about 8 million illegal immigrants that have come into this country unvetted under joe biden including the got-a-ways, but we're now noticing thousands coming from the middle east, hundreds and hundredses from syria and iran. tens of thousands from china and russia. why have they coming to our southern border? why do i believe that amongst that group, there are likely a lot of people that have nefarious intentions for us and our country? >> look, you have in the democratic party o

revert to cap facing int intense backlash after praising obama osama bin laden letter went.hes twist as justification for the attacks of 911 back in 2002. lawmakers have renewed calls for a nationwide tiktok bay on the jewish celebrities met with company executives to voice their anger. alexandria hoff has more. >> videos promoting the letter are still really easy to find the trend comes off almost like an ad or a paid clothing review with creators making their identical claims that lot into words launch them into an existential crisis. here's a few. >> energy to stop what you're doing and go read a letter to america. it is literally the craziest thing i've read in a while. while i cannot say i'm not surprised i am pretty shocked. but this is not an argument for bin laden but he actually some good points as we are seeing eclectic days and and that quees out about the but the rest of it he was eating her quick seedings over the years and for someone doing a really good job at something. this is amplified to fear the chinese own tiktok is coaching young americans to naÏve and

osama bin laden is still being felt today. violence, his evil, is pure hatred for mankind, it still being felt today. and now it's being picked up recklessly, listen, i get social media. tiktok, instagram, twitter, most people, you know, look at me, i did this, good for them, i do it too, on twitter, i'm not on tiktok. but we have a responsibility, you know, i'm a kidney donor to a complete stranger. that's how you influence others to do good. you don't post crap that was written two decades ago by a maniacal, twisted evil piece, and then say it's okay. you just don't. this norm is not my norm. and i'm never going to accept it. i'm going to live a life of giving, sharing and loving. >> so many of the people probably in their late 20s right now, or younger, they don't have any memory of 9/11. they maybe weren't even born yet. it's been so long, do you think that's one of the reasons why this is happening? >> 9/11 will be the next pearl harbor, that was what 80 years ago, 9/11 is 23 years ago, the further we move away, but i bla

watch this. >> they were reckless and ignorant and osama bin laden didn't die enough for me. this is the most evillist man to ever walk the earth and killed over 3,000 members of -- that didn't go home that day, that didn't go home to their families. those people still many of them, haven't had closure. >> some of you actually all of a sudden are considering osama bin laden a freedom fighter. elizabeth: yeah, really? she's a freedom fighter, really? where does this go? >> yeah, that's all very well said, but again, the problem is we have created these kind of kids that think this way. it just -- think about the proversety of it. there's a horrible attack in israel and worst since the holocast and their reaction -- holocaust and the reaction around the world is tide of anti-semitism. what sense does that make and speak to a deep irrationality and evil and it's frightening that it's here and not just in the middle east anymore. it's here in our society too. elizabeth: got it, rich lowry, thanks for joining us this friday night. good to see you. still ahead, congresswoman monica
