8:54 am
a measure introduced by congress back in april expressing concern about the u.s. involvement in the war in yemen and he's likely to veto these bills the problem is is that congress both house and senate does not have the necessary 2 thirds majority to override the presidential veto yet the spota passage in the house reflects the anger in congress bipartisan anger largely at the president's insistence on maintaining a relationship with saudi arabia this following the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi as well as saudi's involvement in the war in yemen certainly congress has made its displeasure very clear and its anger was intensified when president trump used emergency legislation to circumvent congress's decision to impose those arms sales to somebody arabiya congress very clearly believing that the president was attempting to circumscribe their power yet these bills passed by congress
8:55 am
likely to be rejected in yet another presidential veto. william lawrence is a professor of international affairs at george washington university and he says there are growing calls in the u.s. for a change of policy toward saudi arabia. it's still symbolic because trump will veto it and there aren't enough votes to override the trump veto but taken together with previous votes in the house and the senate trying to restrict sales of arms to the u.a.e. and saudi arabia the vote on general has stalled she murder recently and invoking a magnitsky act sanctions other votes related to the yemen war including authorization of military force we have a growing majority not a super majority but a growing majority of voices in both houses of congress that are pressuring the trumpet ministration to change its policy both visibly the war in yemen and in particular towards saudi arabia americans have grown very disillusioned broadly
8:56 am
speaking in congress the general public and the foreign policy establishment with the saudis and would like the war in yemen to come to a negotiated solution as soon as possible and as you know well increasingly dismay over how the pursuit the killing has been handled and dismay over the human war have conflated basically into one issue and it's also affecting all of the iran stuff so everyone would like an improved posture from the saudis nimrods visibly yemen and certainly that's why the yemenis announced not too long ago that they started the u.a.e. in-house on too long ago that they would be changing their their posture in yemen the u.s. president is holding his 1st rally sense and then seeing his 2020 reelection bid. addressing supporters in the city of greenville and north carolina these are live
8:57 am
pictures from their rally comes a day after the house of representatives condemned trump's racist comments about 4 democratic congresswoman. kimberly how to and great of all for us and joins us live chemically what has trump been saying. yeah i'm standing outside the auditorium it's now full it's an 8000 state savy and so the folks you see behind me are the overflow listening to the president speak he did address that controversy about the 4 female congresswoman head on saying if they don't love this country tell them to leave it he then went on to characterize them as being very angry at people that essentially hate the united states and as that's appealing to american pride to try and win over not only the conservative vote that helped him win the state in north carolina 2016 but also to win in 2020 also addressed the well going rusher probe that has now been wrapped up by robert muller it is notable that
8:58 am
he did plan to testify in congress today that now has been moved to next week but the president did address the what he called the witch hunt one that he believes he has been victorious saw. what happened to me with this witch hunt should never be allowed to happen to another president of you know you. and i want to thank the republican leadership for what they've done for all of us stopping that hoax the russian hoax. so trump standing firm despite the turmoil in washington are his comments and meanwhile it seems that the house has voted to kill a resolution to me that we impeach trump has anything been said about that.
8:59 am
donald trump also talked about that saying that he felt that was in terms of the vote and displays all that stupid essentially he says that you know this just is become a rallying cry for his base once again especially making to. him in terms of the attacks that his face from the democratic opposition as he calls it now even though donald trump has survived this impeachment vote in the house of representatives he still does have a number of a other challenges that remain the house of representatives controlled by democrats has held in contempt his congress secretary wilbur ross as well as his attorney general william barr in criminal contempt for defying congressional subpoena and there also is the ongoing pushback in terms of the u.s. relationship with saudi arabia congress not happy about the ongoing support of the white house when it comes to the kingdom's involvement in the murder of samantha shows she so congress has voted to block an $8100000000.00 saudi arms deal but we
9:00 am
expect that donald trump will veto that when he gets to his office in the white house that would be his 3rd b.t.o. of his presidency and can when they are speaking there trump is still addressing his supporters that must be about an hour now thank you very much kimberly how could live for us. and still ahead and i just. a judge decides the fate of one of the world's most dangerous criminals the mexican drug kingpin el chapo. and are we heading to a crypto crisis we'll explain why fatah finance ministers across are worried about facebook's plans for a new currency. and
