allowed the muslim brotherhood to steal more than their fair share of the vote will instead of having a soft landing now we have a full blown constitutional crisis with the egyptian president overseas essential in saudi arabia today asking for money and being told that if the saudis are going to continue floating the egyptian economy he's going to have to stop looking for growth to its fights with the military and show some distance from iran and so we have a geo political crisis we have a constitutional crisis and we have a parliament that convened only to declare that there was going to be a new parliamentary election and all of this was happening while you're just i mean there's a lot of time to digest and you want to jump in go ahead yes i think that given the . circumstances of the last year it's somewhat of an exaggeration to say right now there's a constitutional crisis seems to me this is the early bargaining that goes on between centers of power in a transitional situation and in fact. president morsi has shown to me more of a. aggressiveness which i think may suit his partic

her brother was a part of the muslim brotherhood. her mother was a part of what's called the muslim sisterhood. it would be -- we have requirements to get a high-level security clearance. one thing that the government looks at are your associations and, in particular, your family associations. and this applies to everyone. it would be the same that is true with me. if my family members were associated with hamas, a terrorist organization, that alone could be sufficient to disqualify me from getting a security clearance. so all we did is ask, did the federal government look into her family associations before she got a high-level security -- >> okay, so let's talk about what she just said. what she said about huma abedin and that statement there and her family goes beyond prior allegations. today, as you just heard, congresswoman bachmann said flat out that huma abedin's father was part of the muslim brotherhood and so was her brother. in the past, bachmann in writing didn't attempt to directly link her father to the muslim brotherhood

i read about egypt and the muslim brotherhood. i read about why president obama is celebrating today that the muslim brotherhood is taking over each at in a large part, the rest of the middle east. this is a man who helped to overthrow not one, but two solid american allies. hosting the broken egypt and moammar gadhafi in libya. was gadhafi a terrorist? absolutely. at the time, obama moved against omar gadhafi, he was one of our most solid allies, producing enormous amounts of intelligence on al qaeda and the muslim brotherhood, operate in libya and the broader middle east. of course that's taken out. meanwhile, regimes that are enemies of the united states like iran had nothing to say about the revolt by the iranian people against the terrorist regime in 2009. could not even spare a word of moral support. nevermind material poor. could not spare a word. same thing happened in syria. now the muslim brotherhood is preparing to take over in syria and watch, mark my words. i'll tell you what's going to happen. now that the brotherhoo

in ways that align with muslim brotherhood agendas.d prove detrimental to our national and homeland security. in other letters, bachmann and others accused three department of homeland security advisers of having extensive ties to the muslim brotherhood. and says other dhs advisers, quote, appear to share their sympathy for islamist causes. in yet another letter, bachmann and her colleagues claimed that the state department has taken actions that have been, quote, enormously favorable to the muslim brotherhood and its interest. and they single out huma abedin, an aide to secretary clinton, a top aide and wife of former congressman anthony weiner. the department's deputy chief of staff, huma abedin. has three family members, her late father, mother and brother connected to muslim brotherhood operatives and/or organizations. her position affords her routine access to the second and policy making. the suggestion is abedin's loyalty should be called into question. now, at this point, you may be asking, where this group of representatives i

he says the muslim brotherhood is infiltrating american life. he is also called the anti-muslim movement's most paranoid propagandist. but before gaffney was focusing on huma abedin, he was focusing suspension on grover norquist who is married to a muslim woman. he's famous for asking republican candidates to take a pledge not to raise taxes. but gaffney has said that norquist is helping the muslim brotherhood to infiltrate the conservative movement. those allegations were condemned by a number conservative groups and got mr. gaffney barred from cpac, the conservative political action conference. the american conservative union investigated his allegations against norquist and found them false and unfounded and resolved. its complete confidence in the loyalty of suhail khan, a bush department official and grover norquist to the united states. he's the intellectual inspiration between bachmann and company. what makes senator john mccain's statement today so bold, is that other republican members of congress had been silent on bachmann's charges or

the other one said, the muslim brotherhood can't even penetrate the egyptian government. michele bachmann's basis for this. she found one in the government. huma abedin. she got her. she is muslim. does she have any connection to muslim brotherhood? absolutely none. but those are facts. michele bachmann doesn't need no stain king facts. here is the interesting part. you know who comes in to straighten her out. john mccain. watch. >> these sinister acquisitions rest solely on a few unsubstantiated allegations, none of which have been found to harm or threaten the united states in any way. these attacks have no logic, no basis, and no merit, and they need to stop. they need to stop now. >> that was a great speech by senator mccain, and i would even call it heroic the way he stood up for fellow americans. you have to give him credit on that. john mccain was first, but now almost all of the republicans have bailed. even john boehner. even today brother from wisconsin, a deeply conservative guy who usually would love this kind of stuff, he even turns on bachmann, watch. >> the

i write about each at, the muslim brotherhood. i write about what president obama as celebrating today that the muslim brotherhood is taken over each at and a large part the rest of the middle east. this is a man who helped to overthrow not one, but posting mubarak and moammar gadhafi. was he a terrorist click absolutely. but at the time, obama moved against the moved against moammar gadhafi who is one of our most solid allies, producing american amounts of intelligence on al qaeda and the muslim brotherhood operating in it the middle east. so let's take amount. regimes that are enemies of the united states like iran have nothing to say about the revolt of the iranian people by the terrorist regime in 2009. could not have a word of moral support. could not spare word of moral support. the same thing happening in syria, although now the muslim brotherhood is preparing to take over in syria and mark my words i can tell you it's going to happen. now that the brotherhood is at least equipped to take over control of syria, you will see

>> today on christian world news, the muslim brotherhood scores a major victory in egypt. how will the new president treat the country's christians? plus, dreams and visions in the muslim worord. we'll tell you about the phenomenon that is causing so many to lead islam and follow jesus christ. and...media blitz. how a ministry from mi finland is spreading the gospel in india. >> and welcome to christian world news, everyone, i'm wendy griffith. the world is watching egypt closely after it became the first modern arab nation to elect a member of the muslim brotherhood as its president. the election could have profound consequences for israel, the middle east, and the u.s. chris mitchell has our story from jerusalem. >> reporter: mohammed morsi's win rocked the middle east. dori gold, israel's former ambassador to the u.n., says morsi's victory will be felt far beyond. >> the muslim brotherhood is going to give a shot of adrenalin to radical islamic groups across the world. >> reporter: he says that's why the truth must be told about this truth' group's intentions. today this

government by radical islamic jihadists, members of the muslim brotherhood. one of those law makers refused to answer questions about her unproven claim that muslim extremists had infiltrated the government. and another republican, john mccain took an extraordinary step and went on the senate floor calling her out on it. >> when anyone, not least a member of congress, launches degrading attacks against fellow americans on the basis of nothing more than fear of who they are and ignorance of what they stand for, it defames the spirit of our nation and we all grow poorer because of it. >> now, this almost never happens. a sitting member of congress publicly scolding other sitting members, let alone members of his own party opinion in this case, senator mccain talking about congresswoman bachmann and four other members of the republican party. as we've been reporting, they want the inspectors general of five security agencies to look into what bachmann calls the possible deep penetration, her words, of muslim extremists in the government. they're pointing fingers

funding of the muslim brotherhood, and "clinton is the supreme guide of the muslim brotherhood." where would they get an idea like that? it turns out from an american blogs and websites. that's what a number of egyptians told reporter. one egyptian blogger directed "the wall street journal" to transcript of a conversation between two american conservatives who claim that huma abedin was participating in a plot to penetrate the u.s. government. and that source is also michele bachmann's source, frank gaffney. he says the muslim brotherhood is infiltrating american life. the anti-muslim movement's most paranoid prop gandist. but before gaffney was focusing on huma abedin, he was focusing suspension on grover norquist. he's famous for asking republican candidates to take a pledge not to raise taxes. but gaffney has said that norquist is helping the muslim brotherhood to infiltrate the conservative movement. those allegations were condemned by a number conservative groups and got mr. gaffney barred from cpac. the american conservative union investigated his allegations against norqui

described as a muslim brotherhood enforcer.y to do this? i'm not sure. >> do you think there is a way to unite the muslim brotherhood, the liberals, and people like that to create a kind of common democrat uc front in egypt? well, there is to some extent. the revolutionaries, liberals lined up behind morsy in the presidential election because they hated -- they did not want a clone of mubarak, that would be a representation of the old regime. now the election is over, and the revolutionaries have their own demands. liberals have their own demands. morsi's going to have juggle their demands. it's clear that the revolutionaries still can make trouble k. still bring people out into the streets. perhaps not in the numbers they did during the uprising, but certainly have proven that they've been able to do that. and he's also going to have to deal with the military that is looking out for its own interests. this is not going to be an easy thing. may not be a fighting personality that is the best thing in order to unite a democratic

it all looks set for a major confrontation between the military and the muslim brotherhood -- or maybe not. security at the parliament building has actually been reduced in recent days. maybe the real story is a back room deal. parliament resumes briefly before being dissolved for new elections later this year. at a military parade this morning, president mohammed mursi and the military leader both attended. there was no sign they are about to join battle. rather, the opposite. egypt's military are getting used to having a leading figure from the muslim brotherhood as their president, even though his powers over the army are distinctly limited. >> [speaking foreign language] >> today, the constitutional court aware mohammed mursi was sworn in at just over a week ago, are meeting once again. they are the ones that set this crisis in motion by declaring the parliamentary elections unconstitutional. now, perhaps, they may have an opinion on whether laws passed by parliament have any legal force. it it is a mess, or perhaps just a messy compromise under which the military and the muslim br

she says that huma abedin's late father, mother and brother are connected to the muslim brotherhood. let's start with abedin's father, again, her dead father, who is a professor of social science and the founder of the institute of muslim minority affairs in saudi arabia decades ago, talking decades ago. bachmann attributes this article out of brigham young university. according to that article, his institute had support of another man named dr. umar abal l la hasif. he's affiliated with a group they say has an alignment with the brotherhood. that's how many degrees of separation the document is based on. abiden's deceased father started an organization decades ago that had support of another guy who had the support of another organization who might have had the support of another organization connected to the muslim brotherhood. because of that she deserves to be investigated. as for abedin's mother and brother, bachmann never gives their connection to the muslim brotherhood. all of these charges are having an impact on u.s. foreign policy. here's how. take a look. these are angry cr

the lawmakers claim abedin has ties to the muslim brotherhood and now they're receiving sharp criticism from many in washington including members of the gop. >> michele bachmann welcome to the program. >> on the glenn beck radio show, michele bachmann continued to make claims that the muslim brotherhood is infiltrating the u.s. government. >> the influence today at the muslim brotherhood, at the highest levels from the white house to the pentagon to the fbi, even to our united states military, truly is breathless and people have to know about it. >> last month the minnesota congresswoman and four other gop lawmakers sent letters to top u.s. intelligence officials singling out hillary clinton's deputy chief of staff, huma abedin. they wrote, abedin has three family members. her late father, her mother and brother connected to muslim brotherhood operatives and/or organizations. the state department called the accusations vicious and disgusting lies. but bachmann says her words have been distorted. >> we did not a ver that she is a member of the muslim brotherhood or working on behalf of t

connected to muslim brotherhood operatives and/or organizations.n affords her routine access to the secretary and policymaking. the suggestion is abedin's loyalty should be called into question. now, at this point, you may be asking, where this group of representatives is actually getting its information. the letters cite the work of a group called the center for security policy. its website is muslimbrotherhoodinamerica.com. a man named frank gaffney. who says the muslim brotherhood is infiltrating every aspect of american life in order to impose sharia law. his critics call him a conspiracy theorist. calls gaffney, quote, the anti-muslim movement's most paranopar paranoid prop pa gandist. says he wants to see credible evidence for the allegations made in the letters. in response, bachmann defends letters and repeats her view that a multidepartment investigation into potential muslim brotherhood infiltration into the u.s. government is not only necessary but of course beyond timely. we invited bachmann and the other four congressmen who signed the

the muslim brotherhood. >> now the muslim brotherhood is in control.money to them. so let's not pretend like barack obama just created -- to egypt. the muslim brotherhood wasn't in control of the country. but we have always given money to egypt because -- [overlapping dialogue] >> this is dishonest, sean, come on! you cannot suggest that somehow barack obama got up and said, hmm, what can do i? i am going to fund the muslim brotherhood. we give aid to egypt. that's a fair discussion if you want to talk about it -- >> the first thing that the muslim brotherhood did, kate, when they got power in parliament, was to declare israel their number-1 enemy, during the uprising, the arab spring, the brotherhood was saying, prepare figure war with israel. and then they cut off energy supplies to israel. they're our closest ally. >> we ignore that. this president has ignored the threats of the muslim brotherhood, like he has ignored palestine working with hamas, a terrorist organization, hates the united states. this president is not being aggressive in making sur

this is the strategic plan, the mission statement of the muslim brotherhood in america dated 1991 drafted by one of the top muslim akram. it defines its purpose as destroying us from within, but our hands. make no mistake about this. these are not people with whom we can safely do business let alone empower, enrich or turn over critical national security decisions and capabilities to. now, the trouble is according to this strategic plan, they operate in phases starting with a secret establishment of leadership and building out to be more and more aggressive. phase two involves penetrating the government, and i want to just share with you some of the insights from our course, muslimbrotherhoodinamerica.com as to the success that they have had in doing that, which doesn't explain everything about what we're confronting today, but it helps explain a lot. let's start with the next slide, someone who was lit up by rush limbaugh this week. ever heard of her? homa aberdeen also known as mrs. anthony weiner is the deputy chief of staff to the secretary of state. friend of mine who is a former sen

or working on behalf of the muslim brotherhood. >> but bachmann's accusations wrank willed some of the most influential leaders in her party. >> i don't know huma. but from everything that i do know of her, she has a sterling character. and i think accusations like this being thrown around are pretty dangerous. >> on wednesday, republican senator john mccain defended abedin in a speech on the senate floor. in 2009 michele bachmann urged members of the media to investigate whether some members of congress were "anti-america." >>> closing arguments in the trial of an air force sergeant accused of sexual assault. louis walker is accused of rape and aggravated sexual assault involving ten female trainees at lack land air force base. he's one of 12 being investigated for sexual misconduct. lawyers rested their case yesterday after calling one witness. he could face life in prison. >>> this could be the worst year for whooping cough in this country in more than 50 years. there have been more than twice the number of cases seen so far than this time last year. whooping cough or pertussis is a

she and other members say the muslim brotherhood has infiltrated the federal government. y weiner. still the wife of. she says abedin is tied to the muslim organization through three family members. as for bachmann's source, one of the leading anti-muslim conspiracyists. with me now is brian levin and ron reagan. author of "my father at 100." thank you for joining us. brian, you're an expert at this. to get this straight, her basis for saying huma abedin who works close to hillary clinton, secretary of state, is in the muslim brotherhood is based in something put out by frank gaffney who also says the logo for one of our government agencies is an islamic symbol. what do we make of this kind of nonsense? >> i could go on and talk about individual facts, but let's look at the forest instead of the trees. this reminds me of joseph welch who in 1948 said this to joseph mccarthy. let's not assassinate this further. senator, you have done enough. have you no sense of decency? i think that is what we have here with mrs. stellar backgrou she's married to a former new york congress

her brother was a part of the muslim brotherhood and her mother was part of the muslim sisterhood. >> it is a parallel hood, but it is part of the far right that's out there. how do you separate this kind of stuff from the mainstream republican conservativism? >> well, i was talking to several members of congress about this today and members of congress look at michele bachmann and think -- >> there are four other guys in this besides her. >> but we are just talking about michele bachmann. she's the attention of the story. there are good guys in part of the letter, but they are wrong. you have to be really careful on these types of attack. the language she's using is eerie probing to what joe mccarthy said. you have to know your history. you cannot make these accusations without some real hard proof. and to demonize someone like huma is a huge mistake. >> the romney campaign -- getting back to the candidate here to make the president sound anti-business. take a look at this ad. i think it is misleading. everybody watch and then we'll watch the real thing it was taken from. >> if you h

than the muslim brotherhood but they know for a fact that the muslim brotherhood is it can easily be controlled by the saudis and by that and that's why they are not worried about them and a clear example is what happened with them as hamas was a. devil to the west until it's turned from being an ally to. saudi arabia and now we see philip michel meeting israeli officials in morocco and we don't hear anybody condemning him as any more as long as it's muslim brotherhood the u.s. is not worried nor is israel there's another dimension here of course and that is turkey really feeling threatened by the kurds in syria and at the same time we know that kurds have entered the high ranks of the syrian opposition which is backed by ankara why we seeing a contradiction here. well there are two contradictions actually first if turkey is supporting the rebels in syria what would the the turkish government feel if syria gave the same liberty to p.k. fighters to cross the border. to go attack the turkish army and the other issue is there the kurds are not. a single entity and some of them are reall
