♪ >> we are going to debate later what the best time to eat that turkey is. in the meantime, a lot of news. welcome to "america's news headquarters." >> president trump keeping of his beef with chief justice john roberts. >> and this, former fbi director james comey confirming he got a subpoena from house republicans. who only have a few weeks left to hold hearings, and he is reportedly not the only one. we will tell you was on the lis list. >> rein in northern california after the state's deadliest and
12:01 pm
most destructive wildfire ever. >> leland: we begin with this, president trump continuing his dispute with chief justice john roberts of the united states supreme court. you might remember the president called the judge and ruled against his asylum policy, then chief justice john roberts released a statement yesterday, writing there are no obama judges or trumps judges but instead extraordinarily extraof dedicated judges. the president responding on twitter and continuing his response on thanksgiving. making an early morning for kevin corke in west palm beach, florida. hi, kevin. >> we all thought it was going to be a nice, quiet, simple holiday. a little turkey, little dressing, little stuffing. the president very active on twitter earlier this morning. this all stems back to his criticism of a district judge by the name of don tiger who issued
12:02 pm
a nationwide injunction effectively halting the president's new policy vis-a-vis asylum seeking south of the border. that got the chief justice talking about it and now there's been this back and forth which we've been talking about all day long. we've seen this before, a lower level judge, making ruling that effectively forced the trump administration to go through the courts before that policy can take effect. the president called that judge, as you said, and obama judge. the chief justice said this, we don't have obama judges, trump judges, bush judges, clinton judges, we have a group doing their best to do equal right to those appearing before them. the independent judiciary is something we should all be thankful for.
12:03 pm
however, given the ninth circuit's well-earned reputation for being progressive and for frequently ruling against the president, he said it is high time that someone called them out for their activism. >> some terrible decisions from the ninth circuit as usual, i don't know if we've ever had a victory in the ninth circuit, we have to appeal and appeal it, the vast number of their decisions get overturned, generally speaking, and it's a shame. it's a shame, it's a disgrace, frankly. essentially they are legislating, some judge sitting in some location very far away is telling our incredible military and law enforcement what to do and it's not right and it's been going on like that for a long time. we have to use some common sense, everybody knows it, it's totally out of control. >> "totally out of control."
12:04 pm
describing the ninth circuit court of appeals. let me share this tweet before i let you go, from chairman chuck grassley of the senate judiciary committee, chief justice roberts rebuked trump for a comment he made about a judges decision on asylum. i don't recall the chief attacking obama when that president rebuked justice alito during a state of the union. a snapshot of the intensity that we continue to have as we watch this issue unfold, and i predict, though it is a vacation week, this is something we will be talking about for some time you have to come. leland? >> leland: intensity on thanksgiving, who would've thought. kevin corke, west palm beach, florida, best to you and to christian brown from your fearless producer as well. thanks for working, buddy. >> elizabeth: we are going to bring in our political panel, a g.o.p. strategist and former spokeswoman for california's
12:05 pm
republican party and a democratic strategist, thank you both for joining us this thanksgiving day. >> thank you, happy thanksgivin thanksgiving. >> i want to start with you, we now president trump is not a man to back down and he's been rewarded politically for that position but do you think it is wise of the president or politically expedient for him to be going back and forth with such an esteemed member of the court-like justice john roberts? and a conservative justice at that. >> hi, ebony. nobody elected president donald trump to go to washington to tiptoe around the issues or mince words. i can tell you, being from california and working there for the better part of more than a decade and having some campaigns in which we won millions of votes that were later thrown out by the ninth circuit, the ninth circuit court is a joke and there's a reason it's earned its nickname. "the new york times" said in
12:06 pm
2010, "the new york times" even said, it's a liberal reputation precedes it and if you look at some of the cases they've passed and overturned, they agreed with atheists that the phrase "under god" should be removed from the pledge of allegiance of the united states of america. >> ebony: >> it's certainly a ll court but is that reputation, well-earned or may be unfair, that it is a liberal court, is that in the president's favor in the sense that it seems to be with this president that he does need some type of foil, whether it's the ninth circuit, nancy pelosi, the mainstream media, something to play against and that only enhances his popularity with his base. >> i think that's actually an incredibly astute statement and i totally agree with you.
12:07 pm
he does need that sort of foil when it comes to his policies, that is being thwarted, that is overcoming obstacles and he's out there fighting and doing all these things. you know, i think really -- justice roberts comment was not specifically mentioning the president, it was simply stating what i think, as an attorney, i'm very grateful for. we do have a very good, strong judiciary that is not partisan and they are there to uphold the laws in this country. which is very important and part of the process, the president likes to always be the underdog in these situations, as you sai said. there is a process, whether it's going through the appellate process before the supreme court hears cases, that we have for all of our laws and often the supreme court supreme court and justice roberts have ruled in president trump's favor like they did with the muslim ban.
12:08 pm
if people don't agree with him, he goes after them. >> i think it's interesting to point out here, that there are no obama judges or trump judges, that is avoiding that reality. look, the political reality is politicians do appoint judges. look at the turnout. >> ebony: there are studies that do show ideological differences based on what party put someone on the bench can have impact. we like to think our courts are a political end above this partisan divide but unfortunately every but person on those courts is human. tell me your perspective on what we do in this situation, where it seems the president, politically speaking, is to raise awareness to this may be difficult reality that these things do exist when it comes to
12:09 pm
ideological and partisan things but it's weighed against the conflict with justice roberts, to keep the court's rather pure around this issue and the fact that our courts are supposed to be looking at the constitution and keeping their personal beliefs and ideologies out of it. what to make of this type of conflict, ladies? >> you want to look at a conflict, i think chief justice roberts has created a conflict within his own self, i would argue that because he's waited into this fight and gauged politically with president trump, he may have to recuse himself in the future if the russian collision investigation were to go all the way to the supreme court, if there is an obstruction of justice case. >> ebony: why would he need to recuse himself? justice roberts cited in favor of president trump's travel ban at the end of last turn. >> if you look at the democrats main critique, that he was too
12:10 pm
emotional, to politically charged in that final speech when he came back during the confirmation hearing. >> this is the opposite of what we just saw from justice robert roberts. he did not mention the president by name and he did not mention any comments. >> he didn't have to, everybody in the room knows exactly what he was talking about. it's one thing for the president to wade into politics, that is his job on a daily basis but if support is as strong as chief justice roberts says it is, the court should be able to survive on its own, in its own right, a branch of the government. i don't think he should have weighed in on this, it makes him look like this issue was beneath him to do so. >> he's the chief justice of the supreme court and it is his duty to make sure his judges are being represented properly. and are being put forth because he is the head of a coequal branch of the federal government.
12:11 pm
we have three branches, congress, the federal branch that is the president, and the judiciary. >> eboni: is chief justice roberts responsible to make sure that the reputation of all of our country judges is beyond reproach? >> yes. >> they can do so by way of the decisions they deliver from the bench. he should not have weighed in on the political issue, he's a judge and this was beneath him. this is the arena he's chosen to be in. i think justice roberts should have remained quiet on this issue and proceeded to represent the court through their decision and if you ask some judges across the country, they would agree with that. they should let their decision speak for themselves. >> eboni: i am so excited to say that both of you ladies will be joining us later on in the show as we continue to talk.
12:12 pm
thank you both, sit tight. we will be back with you shortl shortly. >> leland: saudi arabia blaming its crown prince for the death of jamal khashoggi would cross a red line. as you might've heard, they denied that but the fallout has already started with at least one country stopping sale of military equipment to the kingdom, benjamin hall live from london. good evening, benjamin. >> good evening, leland. ever since tuesday when president trump made his statements on khashoggi, he's been laying out why the relationship of saudi arabia is so important. everything from national kick purity to the fight against iran to the economy and oil prices. he talked about khashoggi and khashoggi's killing specifically, saying this. >> i don't know that anyone will be able to conclude that the crown prince did it, whether
12:13 pm
heated or whether he didn't, he denies it vehemently. his father denies it, the king, vehemently. the cia doesn't say they did it. they do point out certain things and pointing out those things, you can conclude that maybe he did or maybe he didn't. >> encouraged by president trump's support, saudi arabia has broken out for the first time since the statement, warning that criticism of crown prince mohammad bin salman is now a red line. yesterday, "presidents don't always get the freedom to work with unblemished partners in all things. we are not going to apologize for our human rights stance, nor are we going to apologize for working with saudi arabia when it's necessary, for the good of innocent people who are in trouble. there are already repercussions
12:14 pm
for saudi arabia over khashoggi's murder. today denmark and finland announced they would be holding exports of military equipment to saudi arabia because of khashoggi's murder and because of the worsening situation in yemen. the country that has been most vocal in their opposition to all of this, turkey, have raised the possibility that the president could perhaps meet with mohammad bin salman at the upcoming summit in buenos aires later this month. president trump has also cited iran as one of the major reasons that the relationship with saudi arabia -- today, a top iranian general said that improved missiles have the capability to strike all u.s. bases from afghanistan. perhaps justifying president trump's decision. leland? >> leland: ben hall in london, thank you. we bring in dan hoffman, chief fox news foreign affairs contributor. it pretty rich from going to
12:15 pm
murdering this guy to denying it to saying it was a rogue operation and saying if you blame the prince it's a red lin line. >> special thanks to our public servants in the united states and overseas for defending our freedom, there is no question that the saudi conduct in the war as well as the murder of khashoggi has strained our relationship, our bilateral relationship, arguably more than ever in our history. >> leland: what do you make of the arrogance of this regime that is under immense international pressure, the u.s. gives them a way out, we saw president trump there and now they are coming back and going any attempts to bring the crown prince is red line. they must feel like they have the upper hand. >> that's to be expected. i think they understand that there is pressure in congress, it's hard to bring democrats and republicans together but the
12:16 pm
kingdom of saudi arabia has done that. there is bipartisan outrage and interest in doing something about it. what i would also highlight is historically there has been a real tension for integrating human rights into our former foreign policy. the congress was promoting human rights, we utterly failed to deal with the human rights abuse in rwanda where there was genocide and i can tell you in pakistan they were a major ally of ours. we deal with human rights and i think it's important, rather than -- i think it's important for us to acknowledge. >> leland: looking at this in a broader sense, obviously you can't pick who your friends are going to be in the world or you can't necessarily tell your friends what they're going to do, then hall made an interesting point, there's a chance at the president of turkey and mds, are going to
12:17 pm
meet at the g20 summit. the turks for so long were putting out all these leaks, we kept hearing about all these tapes they had, evidently the head of the cia is listed in some of these tapes and now they've gone totally silent here, what do you make of that? >> they are letting this play out, in part for his own domestic political reasons. he has a lot of support from the muslim brotherhood and that's split with in -- in saudi arabia and muslim brotherhood in turkey, i think he's trying to get maximum benefit from that and for us in the united states, it's about balancing our values and promoting our values and human rights against those national security, economic, and political interest and it's important for us to acknowledge that those human rights abuses are taking place but at the same time as well acknowledge that we've got competing interests that make it extraordinarily
12:18 pm
