♪ ♪. joni am trey gowdy it is "sunda. it is been one month since hamas invaded israel since killing, raping, torturing and kidnapping innocent victims. one month and already calls for israel to stop its war in gaza to wage war and a friendlier way. war is awful which is why people of good conscience try to avoid it. there are times when the only thing in enemy understands is the afterlife, those not impacted by what hamas did are calling for cease-fire and pauses. i wonder what those is really victims would've given one month ago for a pause or a cease-fire on the morning the massacre began. good people are asked to play by the rules b while terrorist comt atrocities. what would our response be how would america respond if invading terrorist group cut the heads off of our children. but there would be a cease-fire meanwhile iran attacks u.s. assets in the region almost 50 times the u.s. has been targeted with 56 of our soldiers injured. the u.s. responded again today hitting two facilities in syria used by iran's proxies but is it enough? joining is now retired u.s. army colonel daniel davis thank you so much for joining us. the word humanitarian cause when you're dealing with a group that cuts the head off of children, your military expert but i'm not, humanitarian pause with hamas i don't get the naïveté that that can happen. >> i think we have to be careful to distinguish between the humanitarian pause in a cease-fire which benjamin netanyahu and president biden have been adamant there's not good to be one that implies the two sides will cease-fire while they tried to negotiate there is no negotiated with moss and nobody's thinking there is but there are literally millions of innocent civilians, the crossfire desperately need the humanitarian pause to escape the fighting and to get the humanitarian supplies to continue to live. two hospitals have shut down of those numbers of deaths will continue to rise that's a problem for israel and the united states we can't be seen as going after the target of hamas in a way that causes an acceptable civilian casualty that can be aborted that is a real problem undercuts western support an increase in the air of the population that might go against israel later especially in hezbollah. >> you raise a good point and one that i think benjamin netanyahu also understands i'm going to play a clip from him and ask you a question on the other side. >> those who practice for hamas, your protesting for sheer evil a lot of misguided people don't know the facts. in talking to people who deliberately targeted civilians who raped and murdered women and beheaded men who were babies alive and kidnap little babies and holocaust survivors, you name it these are the people that you are supporting. >> there seems to be a little bit of a shift in u.s. rhetoric and publicly slight discernible but what do you think the u.s. is telling israel privately. you mention hospitals, safe passage for innocent palestinians what do you think biden administration is telling benjamin netanyahu privately called. from what were really there telling them privately and now secretary of state anthony blinken pretty emphatically said we've got, israel has got to do things differently because in their view there too many civilians being killed and like i say the problem with that and undercut support. with benjamin netanyahu mentioned there is a mischaracterization and not in his favor because there's many people like in washington, d.c. i talked to people in the protest and the absolutely say they're not for hamas but the palestinian people there are some for hamas but we can't say all of those are but a undercuts our own view that these people are protesting for something that matters to american security which is that they maintain support for israel and so the people do care about the innocent people. when you see the hospital images where people were dying in the hospital for lack of water and food and electricity that gets to american's heartstrings and we want to protect his people. trey: i want to ask you about iran. before we get to iran as is alexander the great when he went to afghanistan had to change his tactics he became cruel and less humane stop. how does the country israel and the united states that wants to be humane prosecuting war when you're dealing with groups like hamas that literally kill pregnant women and cut the heads off of children, how do you balance on. >> that is the right question that asking without the right answer it for you to be different than the other regimes in different than those who don't care about civilians we have to execute differently i personally saw that many times in afghanistan and iraq where we took a lot of care to take care civilians and invade the military process go slower but we were able to do it and kept the casualties low. if we don't we have no moral authority to tell russia not to put ukrainian civilians in harms way or the other regimes that we don't like in their doing things that harm innocent civilians we have no more authority to tell them forget to do it we have to do the harder work of taking care of the civilians were going after hamas because they deserve to be killed for what they did to those civilians. >> i have to have you back have a lot of questions about iran and i'm confident you're the right man to ask. in the meantime thank you for service to our country and happy veterans day. >> thank you very much i appreciate that. >> the war in the middle east is raising the terror threat at home as well hamas and other terrorist groups would not think twice about hurting you. how concerned should americans be. joining is mike turner the chairman of the house intelligence committee from the great state of ohio, chairman thank you for being with us let's start with a one -month-old war. it seems like some have lost the appetite for taking on hamas and their calling for cease-fire and pauses what do you think. >> think you probably on its disconcerting to watch how quickly people lose sight of the terrible atrocities that hamas committed when they killed over 1000 innocent israelis and certainly israel has to be in a position to defend itself into take the conflict to hamas to protect itself in the future. that conflict has resulted in increased risk to the united states itself. it's been over a week that director wray director of the fbi came before the senate and said really greatest to to the united states attacks in the homeland since over a decade and last week he had a conversation with the members on the majority side of the intelligence committee and he said he is very concerned about the risk to the united states were seen by the nutley protest threats against jews in this country how worried should we be about this war being exported to her homeland or group synthetic to hamas acting on the u.s. >> absolutely that's one of the elements that director wray has identified as increasing the threat to the united states any talks about the increased threat to the u.s. troops abroad but his point in the alarm he sanding the threat of attacks inside the united states he cited what occurred in afghanistan with the withdrawal eliminating our ability to have intelligent from terrorist groups and organizations planning attacks in the united states and he cited the southern border indicating that people crossed and posed a risk to our country and people who are allied with international terrorist groups and organizations you as groups can plan terrorist attacks some lone wolves that may be inspired by what hamas has been doing in the fact that hamas, hezbollah and others and isotopic calling for attacks in the united states that can also result in increased threat in grave danger to the united states. trey: there are surveillance programs if used properly can help keep us safe but there's also skepticism the began to arise when we served together that these programs are not always used properly what is the status of the reauthorization that may be coming up the foreign intelligence surveillance act has provisions that expire every now and then so congress can have an oversight of the provisions. one is 702 unit requires that we collect information only on foreign threats that are outside of the united states on the intelligence committee has lived up to that. 72 has not gathered information on individuals that are not foreign and not cited united states and it gives us a tool for those inside the united states and allied with international terrorist groups and organizations when they communicate with the foreign terrorist threats outside of the united states those communications can be captured and used to stop attacks on the united states. the counterterrorism aspect has kept us safe since 9/11. our ability to monitor the groups and organizations and see what they're trying to do within the united states not monitoring yes persons are people that are here for people outside of the united states and what harm they may be planning to do to us are causing people to plan the aspect that this is inspiring we need to reauthorize is a program that is essential to keeping our country safe and there isn't any constitutional protection for people located out of the united states interior script and you don't have the right to constitutional privacy to correspond with tears gibson organizations outside of the united states that's where we want to hold the line congress is making sure that americans rights are not violated the same time we use the tools to protect our country. trey: mike turner from the great state of ohio a very busy man with a very important job. thank you for joining us on a sunday night. trey: coming appreciatively manage terrain republicans and democrats together to condemn her hateful rhetoric towards israel. it shut down time again politico olivia beaver's from capitol hill (♪) kevin! kevin? kevin? ooh, nice. kevin, where are you? kevin?!?!?.... hey, what's going on? i'm right here! i was busy cashbacking for the holidays with chase freedom unlimited. i'm gonna cashback on a gingerbread house! oooh, it's got little people inside! and a snowglobe. oh, i wished i lived in there. you know i can't believe you lost another kevin. it's a holiday tradition! that it is! earn big time with chase freedom unlimited. how do you cashback? chase. make more of what's yours. trey: welcome back to "sunday night in america" rashida tlaib hostility towards israel was too much for her own party, some of them nearly all republicans in a couple dozen democrats joined together to discipline readership to lead she accused her own government and genocide she said she thought singing the river to the sea was a campfire song rather than what it really is is a call from the extermination of the jewish state. when you thought it was safe to go into the water that shut down time in washington. joining us now olivia beaver's who politico punishes by making a cover congress. i don't know what to make of this will reprimand discipline you republicans fighting over who gets to file the motion and democrats some of whom decided to discipline her i'm sure that doesn't make for comedy the tea on their side of the aisle what is the mood on the hill. >> it seems to be a trend that people go through the dopamine hit and trigger unified in one week something happens and then there fighting and adjoining tweets undulated out earlier you have rich mccormick competing with marjorie taylor greene of georgia to censor rashida tlaib and mccormick's resolution was the one that got support he was talking to democrats beforehand, they liked his wording and it came after rashida tlaib had set the river to the sea, the slogan you were talking about. there was one interesting thing i wanted to highlight when you censure a way of members in a formal way of doing it they shoa moment publicly being reprimanded in front of their colleagues but that did not happen for rashida tlaib and they asked mccormick why that was not included in his resolution and he said he had the impression that she wanted the moment and he saw her carrying photos in her with her family and she was trying to say she would not be silenced and he wanted to prevent her from having that moment of potentially using it for fundraising down the line. trey: you're kidding somebody may use that for fundraising. stop me if you've heard this before but infighting might be keeping spending bills from coming to the floor of the house is not right. >> i think were too early for groundhog day but certainly where were out again on saturday speaker mike johnson presented a funding plan and he essentially came up with a two-step plan which is the only difference on kevin mccarthy did it in his suggestion for pelosi level spending there's a policy writers are major cuts but he wants part of the government-funded through january 19 another part februarx layer to keeping the government-funded and chip roi is out of the back saying he opposes marjorie taylor greene and some other conservatives. again he needs to rely on democrats and that's where we start getting into the complicated negotiations. trey: i do swear they got rid of kevin mccarthy for doing the same thing. i want to play" from a member of the house and ask you a question on the other side. >> i don't think the lord jesus himself could get to 217 with this conference. trey: i seriously doubt jesus would have any interest in being the speaker of the house and that would be a pretty significant emotion for him but here's what i noted, jesus only had one to deal with this because the house has a lot more to do with that. is mike johnson going to be able to survive a honeymoon seems like it's already over there fighting. >> this is a very tough environment for republican leader i was talking to a few house republicans were kevin mccarthy had to do with matt gaetz and his own critics until he was ousted they think mike johnson will have his own because you're in a no-win position do you choose to govern or throw red meat to your right flank which you won't get things done and you might risk the majority has to figure out a way of balancing that in the way that he pitched the two-step laddered cr that was essentially throwing some red meat to the right wing but not enough to say there behind it and there is about on monday where were going to see the boat like chip roi and others oppose it and they may not get a vote on it to move forward with the government funding deadline on friday. >> i would rather be a north korean president than the u.s. house of representatives. i am glad you're there and i'm glad i'm not, thank you for joining us on a sunday night. >> thank you très. >> up next the third republican debate is in the books will
