1:02 am
served two stands in the house of representatives including chairingommi the committee on oversight and government reform, darrell issa from the great w state of california.el welcome, mr. chairman. a thank you for joining us.ge more republicans voted for aid for ukraine than for it and tw dozens reported aid for israel. you have stood in congress for a long time so let me ask why, whs thque boats against ukraine, and why he against israel aid? >> trade, you know from your experience those meetings and conference where people tell you what they need to have anpeal ability to vote for it or why they won't vote for something even if they agree on that.n itthis was one of those cases. we all know the most importantav thing we have is an obligationow is to defend our own borders. many republicans were angry that there wasn't more in the way of protecting our own borders, l countering an administration that willfully lealliod over 10 million people in the
1:03 am
country. that led to votes that would have otherwise been yes withe ac package that included border security. but in this case, it was a protest vote. thersoe was no question at t ale are still the party of national defense here and around the world. >> trey: i have an old chairman, darrell issa who once told me never let perfect be the enemy of good. i am sure some of our viewers arryine trying to figure this o. you laid it out.w i have been in thosepr conferens and you have been in more of them but so-called core of right, bob good, good, andy biggs, matt gaetz voted with rashida tlaib who thinks from the river to thide sea is a campfire song, cori bush whoseas wants to defund all police much of mull bowman who has a thing for fire alarms.fo so for the viewers who have in u congress like you have, what do wep make of the world where the hill's freedom caucuses on the same side with the squad? >> unfortunately, it wasn't
1:04 am
quite all of the freedom caucus but there is no question at all, we have the sort of breakdown in this assumption we arekdow a te. when you were there we were much more of a team with division going on in conference then unity on the floor. but again, there is that issue that unites us spirit border security, but also the issue n that some people don't get enou, it divides us. thhe next election with president trump coming back tog office, border security being a priority, i think we will be able to focus also on the fact there are other borders that enemies are attacking, which by the way, includes the philippines and taiwan which didn't get the big headlines bu was quite bipartisan and come in fact, we know china is a threatt and that is absolutely something where i think we are doing thels right thing and we are going to do more. >> trey: chairman, you are from california, the home of

1:06 am
disgruntled hero to quitee candidly, trey, they are not enough people that remember the cold war and why we fought it., they talk about reg and come they really don't understand o reagan came in at the end of a half-century plus of fighting an adversary that wouldn't go awaym and said, "you know what, we will take them on and doublena down, even after the disaster of the vietnam war ended." that needs to happen again you're going to leave thosadeer leaders are in the wings. i'm very happy with the company ithat i had in voting for ukrav in voting to push back on these' dictators. >> trey: chairman darrell issa, the great state oa california, which by the way,ls california t mate decide who controls the house. it will not be ruby red districts like the one i live io but more likely to be california and new york. thank you, mr. chairman, for joining us on a sunday night, and i look forward to seeing you soon. irma>> thank you, mr. chairman.

>> trey: a third republican joining fit defraud health >> mike johnson. others threatening to follow suit. johnson had to rely on democrats to even pass the rule allowingda debate on the foreign aidon package for israel, taiwan, ukraine and johnson allowed to vote on isa three authorization. matt kays, bob good laid arms with the squad to get rid of onf republican speaker now they have buyers remorse here are the s would not democrat step in to help mccarthy, but r theyes are writing to the rescue of mike johnson. what igoins going on inside the republican conference and how does this portend fohousr the november election, utah congressman jason chaffetz, welcome, marjorie taylor greene called theus republican speakerf the house trader, which i'm pretty sure is aa tr crime for h you can be hanged.to the republican colleagues refer to her as moscow marjorie.ri so things have changed a littleu since the you and i were therekd
1:08 am
and politely poking fun at one another suits here this is a pretty serious fight going on within thethe g.o.p. conferenc. >> yeah, trey when they moved ts vacate the chair with just one person, i thought that was a monumental mistake. t there should be a more significant number of people to call for another vote.cr it is interesting because democrats can do that at any point, and they haven't. u i think they need to change that. one of the challenges i see him and i don't know if you see it this way, but i see it that members have forgotten one of the cores th competencies that r founders sought in a member of congress. that is the art of u persuasion. it is not good enough to go on instagram and throw some bombsnd out there and yell and screa tm and throw a tantrum. it is an art of persuasion. that is where the government set up. you have 445 members and if you are not getting your way and frustrated, then you are failin because you have yet to do whato yoo dou are supposed to do, whis persuade others to see it th toe
1:09 am
way that you do. >> trey: baking of the art ofar e persuasion or antithesis of that, let's listen to the congresswoman from georgia together, and then i will ask you a question olan the other side. st>> my jootheb has been to bety american and he betrayed bierican voters peered under his leadership, hede passed the bidy administration's policies and fully funded them. we are going to fight in congress to do everything we car to stop this kind of you in a pretty leadership. mike johnson speaker, he needs to do the right thing to resign and allow us to move forward in a controlled process. if he doesn'not do so, he will e vacated. >> trey: vac you know, jc, that sounds like a democratic attack ad up here that what that sounds like to me. and yet one republican going after the speaker of the house. so look, i mean, november elections are just a few months away. the districts have determine who
1:10 am
wins the majority are not ruby r red districts in utah and south carolina. utahe swing countries don't make districts in south carolina in new york. how was his name fighting and name-calling when the voters in swing districts? the name't hear hakeem jeffries come out of her lips and talk about thest frustration that she has for the democrats. look, the building camome e up i would have voted against it here are the is securing our border c over supporting all of those other worthy causes i think is paramount. and i would be frustrate.d about that. bus ret let's remember when the majority of the majority, the so-called castor rule that you when i lived under, when you have so many people that are voting andng supporting those kinds of things and want to see those bills happen i go to the floor, then put them up for a vote. i got up in the think congresso should be voting more even if i don't like it. i can vote against it. about to rail against the s
1:11 am
speaker to say it is allpe on hd he some democratic, you know, you know party person, i don't think it is productive whatsoever. she would be, i think, better off to shoot that fire that she has towards the democrats and try to get them to explain whya, they won't secure the borders but will secure everybody else's but not secure our own. >> trey: you know, it is almostlike like there's not two democrat u.s. senators in georgia. i mean by that is where my ire would be directed and how my dia state elected to democrats, which gave them a working majority back when it happened. lots of this, i think my jc, is about pain raising and pain. he made a lot of money matt gaetz going after mccarthy. a lott watched sue and you becae household name of the oversight committee but not because you were calling people names. you actually did it through your
1:12 am
work, through committee work and legislative work. but we ever gel bet back to thes were actually working hard ialls what made you famous and instead of what you say makes you fa famous? >> thank you.d and i appreciate it. i think you did the same as you made the argument. i think back to patrick monahan, the democratic center three plus years ago. i didn't agreeo no with much whp said, but his ability to people to go to the floor and make an argument here because all you do that and others in our conference doon that.go tim scott is exceptionally good and marco rubio was good at this pier that is why congress and the founders have the set up. it was wil not to have the biggt following on instagram and getu people -- look, i'm frustrated with the way the country isut wgoing, but i also know my frustration is mostly fired towards a feckless joe biden in democrats won't secure ourbu border. but you have got to be able to make that argument. barack obama was a president and i had sevelln bills passed thats
1:13 am
because i was able to persuade people on both sides of the y isle. spoon jason chaffetz proving you can be famous anouand still notr a republican speaker to be guilty of a capital offense. thank you for joining us on ana sunday night we look forward to visiting with you soon.ab >> thank you. le>> trey: still ahead the outgoing mayor of jerusalem where israel stands and present threat from iran, that is next on "sunday night in america." ♪ ♪

1:20 am
voters who decidedly anti-israel. joining us now is deputyer usmayor of jerusalem, fleur hassan-nahourm, welcome, iran has been at war for decades ando hundreds ownf missiles and drons n rained down on israel. so first of all, tell us what done inside of yourite country despite robust defensesp for actual psychological damage you suffered last weekend? so, who are very right. we have been at war with iran for many, many years, but they have always but never shown their hand. it has always been a proxy war through their agents, hamas in the south of israel, has below to the north of israel, lebanon that destroyed syria. they have gone in with us before and even killed some americans servicemen and women in the red sea channel here today, what we seee is is for the first time
1:21 am
ever, iran has shown they are hand and iran attacked israel directly an unprecedented credible amount of -- we are grateful to the united states for helping us fend off that very and brutalck attack, which could have been really, really, really bad. thanks to help from the united states, france, the u.k., d even the jordanian air force, we managed to repelcf the attack. that could have been really devastating. >> trey: you are correct thater the u.s. and other friendly nations did defend israel and helped with the iron dome hewarc israel responded to the iranian attacked for up to some of us, the attack was more muted than we were contemplating. in your judgment, was israel planning something more robust and discouraged from doing so in particular by the biden administration? .>> look, we are in the middle f
1:22 am
a war with a brutal war with hamas in the south who haveno cetaken 134 innocent men, women, and babies. and if we went all-out war with mean a hugetu regional war everybody wouldal have been drugged into.ir ani actually think iran isi th nazi germany of the 1930s. i think the world will eventually have to deal with iran. enough with this attitude of appeasing them here they will not be appeased. these are fundamentalist who want to push the wall back 500it years. thsooner or later, they threaten the entire free world. at the moment, they start withy israel, but they make it very i srclear, israel is the little satan and americas the big satan and they talk about it clearly.a so, at the moment, maybe time for regional war because that may have escalated to that, but i think eventually we will get there. but the administration thinks we will get there or not, it is
1:23 am
inevitable.u me>> trey: you mentioned iran as part of this new evil access, access of evil hunting back toan world war ii. president biden seem to think iran can be negotiated with them a country fundamentally believes in depth to israel the united states is a goodgo negotiating partner.tiatin what should the world respond to iran be either sanctions or militarily? >> first of all, i don't believe people when they keep telling you that they wantbe to kill yo, you should believe them.y, for years already, what iran wants to do is change the world and start with the middle east. the middle east has got a very significant american presence e here in and iran doesn't wants america -- we have seen pie irae agent of the united states and the free world. so they see saudi arabia, the immigrants, lorraine and a threat to any country in the
1:24 am
world that wants peace andos prosperity for their people.pe they want a very dark jihadien tifundamentalism and this is a threat to the entire world. so an american helps israel ande other countries, they are also helping themselves. but like i said, i just don't see how we can continue to live in a world where these people are doing everything they are a doing and the biggest exporters of terrorism across ofs the wor. if you get rid of the iranian regime and you get rid of the majority of terrorism in the world, just think about that for a second. i don't see how eventually we don't have to deal with it. the question is, who is going to be brave? because at the moment we see a lot of chamberlains in the world. >> trey: speaking of chamberlains, chuck schumer called forecti regime change in israel. diffi have not heard him hope fr regime change in iran. but we will save that for another

1:35 am
for purposes orof protecting his business, marriage, and many other valid reasons for somebody to engage in a hush money or nondisclosure agreement with individual whose coming forward with allegations that simplythat claims are not true. it is not just that level, but the defenst ite also has to beve raised that even if that specific intent is found in the firs t part of the elements, that there is an additional element that they must prove, and additional crime, essentially, that it was dealing with an election money cover up. so, they were so many layers here. thneede defense needs to put thi case forward in the opening statement and talk a lot about the specific intent elements required here and the difficultg prosecutors are going to have. finally, they need to have more beyond a reasonable doubt standard and to never let back on that. >> trey: carrie, i am going to make you a jury consultant, at least fo ar the next couple of

what can we do about it? oka >> trey: all right, like anysk mediocre lawyer, i'm going to ask you why and what can we dobt about it? those are my two follow-up questions? i got it. the reason why is simple that we find. t there are four, big things tht bring happiness, the happiest of happy people of faith, family, friendship and work that serves people that feels like vocation pure and meaningful work is incredibly important and peopleo sthave struggled with that. ore you are finding more and moe young people are getting into the zone of their work. faith is falling away and more and more people say they don't have faith. the year i was born in the y mid-'60s 1% of the population said no faith and 3% said noan faith and primarily concentrated in the culture we are saying gen z, and the millennial spiril less likely to form families in one of the great secrets of a happy life is getting married and having kids. a that is old as the hills and needs to be reinforcedon

generation after generation and fewer people have close friends. especially young people here are those are the four big reasonsth and,er of course, there were the crises fear of the biggest crisis of course is mediating friendship through social media. you can't do it that way ialn yr brain won't let yoheu do it that way. the more you avenge on social media, the lonelier you get your that is not only anl problem for me but young people. and child soldiers in a campusnp war of activism and manipulatin young people to hate wholl m disagree with them here that will make them miserable and indeed commit is. the loneliness of the quite sick academic and that is not healed yet. there is your list of reasons, c trey, what do you think?at >> trey: i think you are an expert on it. i know now why you teach a clasi on it. you and i were talking about a test on your website to find out who we are and what to embrace i about it.u sa you said to them i was a mad scientist. my wife said you are half right.

you got the mad part right but not the scientist. but is there something to self a acceptance who we are as part of happiness and how do we balance our gifts with our limitations? >> part of it is actually knowing yourself and actually b gathering a little bit of wor knowledge and then, trying to work on yourself in a real wayse and instead ofd a poster changg the outside world. and younger generation have learned from keeping safe as tha possible, what has gone on way longer than past generations. my parents took no interest in what i was doing, perhaps, that was a problem in the otherm th direction but young people today are told if you are feeling w anxiety or depression, somethino is wrong with you.norm we need to treat you. it is not normal. all of that is foals.eg life is hard andat we grow from negative emotions. they are very normal and you need t yo learn about yourself o you can mend your feeling so
