everyone, that is, except jim fayed.em interested. >> is it your belief that at the time surveillance cameras capture mr. fayed sort of walking around the courtyard area, that he knew his wife was being killed at that exact moment? >> yes. the reason i base my belief on that is mr. fayed, when he walks out of the building everyone is interested in what's going on in the parking structure except mr. fayed, because he knows what had just transpired. >> but that apparent disinterest in pam's screams wasn't enough to charge jim with murder. in fact, there was little evidence he had anything to do with it. then detective abdul-rahman's phone rang. >> the assistant u.s. attorney tells us that mr. fayed's cellmate wants to talk to whoever is handling the investigation of mrs. fayed's death. >> and what does the cellmate tell you? >> well, the cellmate tells us that mr. fayed had confessed to him that he had hired someone to kill his wife. >> detectives believe that someone was josÉ moya, the ranch hand. the cellmate also had ot

jim: i grew up in iowa. we lived near the local golf course.layed it competitively through high school. david: you played with president obama? and president trump? who is better? [laughter] , let me put itow this way. president obama started late in life. for someone who started late in life, he is good. president trump has been playing for most of his life and he is extremely good. he can hit all the shots. they are two different kinds of golfers completely. how is that? david: that is a very diplomatic answer. what would you say is the greatest pleasure of your professional life? -- thee thing i am am thing i am most grateful for is i have been able to learn new things throughout my professional career. as long as you stay open, that is the key. if i were to give advice to anyone, what we know is jobs of the future require people are ready to learn throughout their lives. david: if you ever what it want to get into private equity, let me know. jim: people who are willing to put risk capital into developing countries, that is the key. unfortu

>> well, two things, jim.t of all, she wants the american people to learn about her life and her journey thus far in her life and learn about her background and the joy of the book is not about donald trump. it is about how she grew up and what she's been through, and i think people will be very, very moved by the book. i know the first time i read the manuscript i was very moved by it. this is an incredible woman. she has been through quite the journey, and i think people will be very intrigued and very moved, again, like i said, when they read it. and then secondly, jim, she's included a lot of the details relating to donald trump because she's tired of being called a liar. she has been called a liar by sarah sanders repeatedly, by other people at the white house speaking on behalf of donald trump. michael cohen has repeatedly called her a liar. people that work for michael cohen who recently pled guilty of course and is a criminal, those individuals have called her a liar. >> is she just trying to get reven

and it goes on, jim.rcement officers and prosecutors may never select the timing of investigative steps or criminal charges for the purpose of affecting any election or for the the purpose of giving an advantage or disadvantage to any candidate or political party. that's exactly effectively what president trump is saying here in the tweet. he's saying that they should have slow walked this investigation both of these two congressmen who supported him because it hurts the republican party. >> michael zeldin, the law is the law but the law is also the prer sep perception of the law and do people respect the law and how it's followed here? it is not the first time that the president has done this in the paul manafort trial while the jury was deliberating he made comments about paul manafort. as a lawyer like yourself, who served for decades, how insidious are these attacks by the sitting president? >> well, they undermine the mission of the department of justice as laura outlined. the mission of the departme

>> reporter: he is, jim. he's hinting that he has a lot more to say because though president trump has been pretty measured in the response to the allegations, today we saw the first glimpse that he has his doubts that they're true. president trump pointed out today that these allegations of this alleged incident were made or this alleged incident happened several decades ago and he sounded confident that brett kavanaugh could be confirmed. >> he's an incredible individual. great intellect. great judge. >> reporter: president trump standing by his supreme court nominee today projecting confidence. >> impeccable history. in every way. in every way. >> reporter: even though for most of washington brett kavanaugh's confirmation is now an open question. ahead of a scheduled public hearing with the woman who said he sexually assaulted when they were teenagers. >> i feel so badly that he is going through this, to be honest with you. this is not a man that deserves this. >> reporter: kavanaugh denied the allegation

host: jim hobart, we will get your response. guest 2: one thing that is interesting about the president's approval rating is we ask that question on our polls and then we ask a follow-up question to those who disapprove. we say do you agree with some of the policies and actions he has taken? when you combine those numbers, it is between 40% and 45% approve but when you add in people who approve of some of the actions he has taken, he is always over 50%. when you remember in 2016, is favorable numbers were right at 40%, pretty low, and he was still able to win. there is something unique about the president's approval rating because there are a lot of people who dislike him personally but like a lot of the actions that he has taken. that is one thing that is more different than other presidents we have seen. winston, this is from the washington post, the democrats regain the advantage in the midterms, based on the generic polling. does that mean anything? guest 1: it does to some extent. it can give an indication of how the nation

jim? >> we do, indeed. thanks very much.w to talk about this david drucker, ally honig back with us now. can you add any wisdom to the truth of what happened in the last 24 hours? how the white house guidance to jeff zeleny is don't assume that rosenstein will be fired. so what happened yesterday? >> well, look, i think the best answer here is that rosenstein is likely to keep his job, at least through the midterm elections. if we step back and recall, the president had said about a month and a half ago that he doesn't know if he wants to keep rosenstein around. but he had agreed that he wasn't going to fire him before the midterm elections to create the spector that he's trying to influence the mueller investigation or move to end it, which would create political chaos or republicans. >> but he's comfortable setting that signal after the midterm elections. >> after the midterm elections, even though there is still political peril, and it would be a president for the president in terms of his 2020 election, he is looking at

>> it's such a great point, jim.eing a bit of pressure in the session, but you know, as you pointed out, last week, i was talking about record highs for some of these markets, so in light of what we have seen and the escalation that we have seen, u.s. investors are still pretty sanguine here, i would say. as you pointed out, u.s. hitting china with the tax, the formalization of the announcements that we got last week. the big question, guys, here, is whether or not the president, the u.s. administration, looks at this and says as promised, we're now going to hit china with a further $267 billion, and then it's not half of all china's imports here into the united states. it's the whole lot. and that means all products effectively get more expensive, and the question is, at what point then do we see that hit consumers' purses because products are basically costing more. china also taking out a full-page spread in the des moines daily. they're being strategic, guys, about the impact on u.s. consumers here. saying sorry,

jim, we were talking about the italian bond market.lds on the ten-year have not been this high since may, i believe. >> yeah. what's interesting to me is when i spoke to jamie dimon earlier in the week which seems like a month ago, he said these things are not really impactful on jpmorgan but the u.s. banks always get slammed on this stuff. it has ban buying opportunity except the fact that the banks acted so terribly after the fomc i can't just say buy, buy, buy given what happened with the fed. but let's not -- let's remember european banks are not american banks. we know the european banks are short of capital when i do business in italy, the banks are not like what it is like to do business here they don't do mortgages basically. they're not in that business there. >> no. >> financials worst performing group in the s&p, to your point, jim. they had a tough week. down a little more than 3.5% >> they've been horrendous it's almost as if people say, look, lending is slowing down. we'll pay you more for the cds that you get, but they w

moreover, jim, briefly. point of the matter is we look at those horrific numbers is that the president just doesn't own up to the realities. tell to the people -- right, look at the government accounting office, what came out with a report, indicating all of the shortcomings as it relates to supplies and relates to not having bilingual people who are available to communicate. as it relates to no generators and support. as it relates to everything. tell to those people who live through it and are still living through it that it was an incredible success. it's not. it's a lie. it's an alternative fact, it's a misrepresentation. it's just not the truth. and that's what we get out of this white house day in and day out and it's grossly misfortunate. >> joey jackson to the panel. >>> stand by, i want to ask you about the latest nondenial denials in bob woodward's scathing book about this administration. >>> later, russia and china working together to send an ominous signal about their combined military might. gei

i'm jim sciutto. after raging about it almost nonstop since it was published, president trump now wants to make a federal case out of that critical opinion piece written by one of his own senior officials a criminal case. and he is also talking about sicking the feds on the newspaper that published him. there is also breaking news out of the white house with sources telling cnn they have narrowed down the list of who they think wrote the op-ed to just a few people. details on that in just a moment. the piece ran, as you know, in "the new york times" under the headline "i am part of the resistance inside the trump administration." the president has called the unnamed author gutless, a coward, and demanded that "the times" turn him or her over to the government, though it is unclear what precisely that means or for what alleged crime. he has suggested that this essay amounts to treason, which by definition, of course, it is not. still, now he wants the attorney general jeff sessions to investigate, siti

cramer jim a talking at the bit to talk about the charges against elon musk jim what do you make of >> listen, my friend james p stewart i keep coming back to the notion the man is erratic be unstable he should not be right now running a public company i think it's time for medical leave of absence or some sort of leave of absence where they can figure out what happened to him. you can't say and do the things he is doing and expect to be able to run a public company jim, when you saw him recently, i mean you have interviewed him. you did the great "new york times" piece this is not a rational man >> well, he himself -- i did a whole column on this he himself has alluded to whether he might be on the spectrum of bipolar or manic depression or something like that i don't think there should be any stigma about a are about that many people have this. it's treatable but if that's a factor here i think it's time for it to be addressed. i agree with him jim on that. >> cramer question for you. >> shower. >> you know let's say elon musk steps aside how does the stock trade. >> we are wonder

that's the word out of cnn from jim sciutto's tweet.in that direction. >> >> well, clearly there was movement going on. that was a story the "new york times" wrote friday and if you take at face value what rod rosenstein was talking about in that story, you can see why the president would want him gone. the broader context is there's peril in any direction and we saw the president's close ally sean hannity coming on and said the president by no means should fire anyone. this is a setup so not a lot of good options right now. >> john, from a procedural standpoint, i understand sessions is recused from the russia investigation but shouldn't rosenstein be resigning to the ag? >> i think if you are appointed by the president and confirmed by the senate that is a circumstance where your boss can fairly be said to be the president of theites this is not a person who was hired by jeff sessions this is the person the president put in that job. >> and john to the larger question but to the extend that rosenstein is no longer in that job and fill
