♪ ♪ >> so we go out tonight on the words of john mccain. that is our broadcast for this tuesday evening. thank you very much for being here with us. good night from nbc news headquarters here in new york. ♪ the trump administration takes its first action against saudi arabia after the murder of jamal cushowing jamal khashoggi. he has no idea it has a racial conoitation. and the administration says it has the evidence but what does the president actually say? ♪ good morning everyone. it's wednesday, october 24th.

we begin with the trump administration which has take in its first steps towards punishing saudi arabia over the killing of jamal khashoggi. they would have their veeszaus revoked or declared ineligible to enter the united states. those without visas are ineligible for them. mike mom pawo said more action could be on the way. >> these penalties will notby the last word by the united states. we will continue to explore additional measures to hold those responsible accountable. we're learning the facts and as facts unfold, as we continue to develop our understanding of the individuals that were responsible for this that not only execute this.

trrs the world should know we intend to hold those individuals accountable. and saudi officials now say the 15-man team send by saudi intelligence planned to hold hum and kidnap him while attempting to persuade him to return to saudi arabia. they claim he would have been released. however, they dud not provide any evidence to corroborate that account. he left the consulate soon after arriving but that later evolved to he was killed in the consulate during a first fight. this soon soon after erdogan disputed the accounts in a speech to parliament. and after khashoggi was killed in the consulate, they rolled his body up in a rug and it over

to someone who would dispose of it. meanwhile, the prince is believed to have a role received several of khashoggi's family members. it included two of khashoggi's sons. >> they've criticized the kingdom, calling it the worst cover up ever. >> they had a very bad original concept. it was carried out poorly. and the cover up was 1 of the worst in the history of cover ups. very simple. bad deal. should have never been thought of. somebody really messed up. and they had the worst cover up

ever and where it should have stopped is at the deal standpoint when they thought about it. because whoever thought of that idea i think is in big trouble and they should be. nothing that they've done has done well. certainly has not been spoken of proper lae. they did the wrong thing even thinking about the ytd. they certainly did a bad job of execution and talking about it or covering it up, if you'd hike to say that. but i would say it was a total fiasco from day one, whoever put it in their minds, that was a not a a good thought. the pross was no good. the execution was no good and the cover up, if you want to call it that was certainly no good. >> if the crown prince is implicated -- >> well, we'll have to do sthung

but i spoke with the king, i spoke with the crown prince yesterday and he strongly said he had nothing to do with this is. this was at a lower level. >> but the president is offering a harsher take. the president said this. while the prince is running things over there, more so at this stage. and so if anybody were going to be, it would be him. white house correspondent for reuters. you were the former president of the white house correspondents association. he's changed his tune towards saudi arabia specifically on the killing of jamal khashoggi.

do you believe any of the views -- >> ults arer hard to saw what is influencing his views. he's been saying for days that he wants to get the facts, make his determ naugzs becaused on the fact. frrts i was in the q and a with him in the oval office and afterwards. we asked him for the reaction to what erdogan said. he was pretty harsh on saudi arabia. but the president has been harsh but he continually goes back to saying he doesn't want this to effect the u.s. relationship with saudi. more specifically he doesn't want it to effect the defense contracts that he and others water part of negauche yiegting.

twengt we have the administration taking its first steps. and a slap on the wrist when it come to the visa revocation. and >> well,sic reitary pompeo said in that clip that you played that this would not be the only action that the united states takes. so it's sort of a wait and see approach. cia director, joonau haskell. and the president said he'd be waiting to find out what she has learned. you were right as well. in the earlier video and pag to say the story from saudi arabia

has shafted and at some point american officials will grow frustrated with that shifting story and the president referred to that by somewhat controversially say thing cover up was bauchd. >> and actually puts out its own fact finding statement. meanwhile president trump is saying he had no idea of the racist connotation. first a remind of what he said in texas monday. >> i have a word, it sort of became old-fashioned. a nationalist. we're not supposed to use that word. i'm a nationalist, okay. >> there is a concern that you're sending coded language or a dog whistle to some americans that what you really mean is you're a white nationalist. >> i never heard that.

>> you never heard of a --. >> no, i'm somebody who loves our country. >> he was averse to the terms nationalism or poppialism at the beginning of his campaign and over time it became clear that trump wasn't opozed to the ideas but the people associated with them. and the republican nominee for governor has been accused of voter suppression fputting the registrations on hold, 70% of them are black. and roll engstones expressing concerns for his chances of everybody uses and exercises their right to vote.

rekou recount is necessary? >> i took an oath and that's whakt i'm gotung continue to do. >> montana state university billings poll found that tesser was ahead -- and it's a nuch is conducted through midsefbt, earl. well, the race for governor in alaska had a shake up last week. when the -- and a new poll hoess it's a poeg --

what the meddling did create was animosity smaus the staets. diplomatically. that's a huge loss to both countries but particularly to russia. it's a lesson i think don't mess with american elications. and if you want to talk to vees president speech was three or four weeks ago. a very, very senior u.s. intelligence officials. the house ways and means committee says he's on board for another tarksz cut. this time aimed at the muddle

action against the saudis over jamal khashoggi's killings. >> and president trump offers his strongest rebuke yet of the country's crown prince. plus, the president declares himself a nationalist. the reason he's offering for wearing the title as a badge of honor despite its racist movements. for the good. and not so good. for the mundane. the awe-inspiring. the heart racing. the heart breaking. that's what life is all about... showing up. unless migraine steals your chance to say "i am here." that's why, we created aimovig.. a preventive treatment for migraine in adults. one dose, once a month. aimovig is proven to reduce the number of monthly migraine days. for some, that number can be cut in half or more.

all right. it's that time. time for a look at axios a.m. joining us from washington, editor in chief nicholas johnson. what have you got for this morning's one big thing? >> a gender gap and gender wars. a lot of data gaps point to the big gulf between the sexes on politics, policy and business. the top line staff that caught my attention this morning is a wide gender gap in the parties. you ask women which party they support, by more than 20 percentage points, they back democrats. men by wore than 20 points are in favor of the republicans.

it is in part and parcel driven by the number of women running for the senate this year. also in business, the "new york times" had a fascinating graphic listening to the number of men impacted by the "me too" movement who lost their job. most of them have been replaced by other men. finally, looking at specific policy issues, most women on gun control favor more regulation. most men favor less. if you ask about social media, women say it's more important for those to be safe spaces. many men say it's more important for people to be able to speak

freely. >> let's hone in on the party that is likely to see the most support for female voters. do you get a sense that there is a party trying to indicator to these voters in the sense that they're adopting policies more oriented to women voters? >> i think most parties would say women are a priority, but where the numbers show are in the polling data. there's a 20% gap as far as women who say they support democrats as far as republicans and about the record number of women this year, the vast majority of those are running as democrats. >> i think that's where the momentum is. >> we see that being infiltrated when it comes to political ads, not only on tv, the conventional way, then social media, but also on these, too. we're going to see some of these ads popping up. why is that? >> i just mentioned i have my first one last week. those are political ads on text messages. they're not subject to the same kind of rules as robo calling

and auto dialing. a lot of those text messages are being sent by hand using special programs. folks doing those can send up to 10,000 an hour. expect more of those to pop up on your phone. most of us reads those ads. a study shows 90% of those are checked within five minutes. most of us will ignore a phone call from a number we don't recognize. we always answer or at least look at our text messages. that's true. popping up, as well, on instagram and facebook. let me ask you quickly about something else making those headlines. michael bloomberg, a lot of people floating his name around as a possible 2020 contender. how is he preparing for the midterm's home stretch? what does this midterm mean for his possible presidential run? >> look for a late funding surge from him that can push total spending up over $100 million.

he used to be a republican, he used to be an independent. he's now a registered democrat. a lot of people are speculating that is a possible prelude to a presidential run in 2020. >> as always, good to see you. all you viewers out there, sign up if you haven't already. >> that does it for us on this wednesday morning. "morning joe" starts right now. nancy pelosi voted yes. maxine waters voted yes. beta o'rourke voted no. he would not stand with his party. >> lock him up. >> well, you know, there's a double occupancy cell with hillary clinton. >> nothing to see here.

just a sitting member of the u.s. senate endorsing jailing of his political opponent. cruz went on to see journalists would be responsible for covering that comment rather than his comment about taxes. >> and this is the party of due process. it really is. it's so easy to worry about all of these things that are going on, but it really is dangerous and it is a violation of due process. and for them to jut talk about locking people up, so dangerous. >> good morning and welcome to "morning joe." it is wednesday, october 24th. along with joe, willie and me, we have historian, author of the soul of america and rogers professor of the presidency at vanderbilt university john meachum. he is an nbc news and msnbc
