what do you make of the intimacy of the trump orbit and mbs?rger issue, which is the desire to turn power into personal profit for this administration. we keep learning of new and newer entanglements with foreign nations and jared kushner and paying off of debt and solicitation. there's been reports for a while now that even foreign heads of state have been complaining about getting hit up by kushner and/or others in the administration. eventually this is going to come crashing down. you don't do in in a vacuum. there's too many eyes on this, too many intelligence services intercepting communications. this is the real deal in joo politics today and they're going to get caught at it. >> frank with the scare of the day for me. thank you for that. we're going to sneak in our last break. we'll be right back. break. we'll be right back. that's why i switched to liberty mutual. they customized my insurance, so i only pay for what i need. i insured my car, and my bike. my calves are custom too, but i can't insure those... which is a crying shame. only

was saying this and this was mbs's words himself. this can all be confusing, but the president has been super ayeszive himself, knocking down the notion that mbs was behind this. they have really downplayed that as much as possible. what we reported today, my colleague, was that there was more evidence about why the intelligence community was so convinced they were behind this. that they had a direct hand in this and they knew about it. and they have just continued that. >> i want to put up full screen number one here. gabe sherman, i want you to help me explain. the president on jan 12th, right after the nation naa nal eal en. so sorry to hear about jeff bo sfrks o being taken down by a competitor whose reporting, i understand, is far more accountable. it almost feels as if the president was a little too giddy and aggressive in trying to second the enquirer's reporting there. explain that relationship. >> it is a relationship that has gone on for years, donald trump has been close personal friends with david pecker through his time

so we have a troika now, pecker, mbs from saudi arabia, president trump. they are all in alignment. they all have a motive to have committed this blackmail. >> can you explain why david pecker after getting caught up in this federal probe and getting immunity would go back to what look like such great risk to himself? >> i can't, except, you know, to noah's point, this is the way they play, and they actually thought they could intimidate the richest man in the world. and they had, you know, strong interest in trying to do the president's bidding. the president just tweeted that he thinks this disgusting publication would be preferable as the owner of "the washington post." he said it's a better newspaper than "the washington post." this is the way despots all around the world are playing now. they are buying up the biggest newspaper in their country to silence it and quell criticism. and that's what trump would like to do in the united states, and taking us away from democracy. he's not going to get away with it because he's met his match in jeff bezos. >> well, it is chilling becau

relations committee pushing for president trump to determine whether the crown prince also known as mbs violated khashoggi's human rights. the source says the white house will likely reiterate there is no smoking gun. the "new york times" also reported that the u.s. intelligence intercepts show mbs told aides he would use a bullet on khashoggi a year before the journalist was killed. >>> trouble in trade talks september china into retreat, investors not happy when larry kudlow suggested that the u.s. and china are not close to a new trade pact. >> the president has indicated that he is optimistic with respect to a potential china trade deal. but, but, but, but, we have a pretty sizable distance to go here. to quote a colleague of mine, we have miles to go before we sleep. that was a joke. >> wilbur ross last week said we're miles and miles away from a deal. the dow fell 221 after that comments. the s&p 500 fell close to 1%, the nasdaq down 1.2%. we take a look at futures, right now they are leaning lower this morning. the u.s. u.s. official said president trump not likely to meet with x

world with the exception of the united states president has put the blood -- blood on the hands of mbscept for this president. the u.n. has, every country has. there's a big question mark as to why this president does not come out solidly with the rest of the world because all of our intelligence agencies also put the gun or the knife in the hands of mbs. only one person that doesn't, the president of the united states. >> in the past president trump has been very sfloelk his support of the crown prince. the probable killer of khashoggi. let's watch. >> i spoke with the crown prince yesterday. and he strongly said that he had nothing to do with this. this was at a lower level. >> the cia looked at it and studied it a lot. they have nothing definitive. and the fact is maybe he did, maybe he didn't. >> whether he did or whether he didn't, he denies it vehemently. we have an ally that said they did not commit at the top level, the crown prince, the king, they did not commit this atrocity. >> we are with saudi arabia. we're staying with saudi arabia. >> david ignatius. you can go to any pr

back in september of 2017, mbs cold a he should be returned by force. if neither of those methods worked, mbs said, quote, he would go africa showingy with a bullet. it's the same month that kashoggi began writing puts, it with treasury secretary knowledge of the television reports produced in early december. the fact is he haven't mentally denies it while sitting a well, where do we keep going is what we do sfwrchl "the new york times" and other media outlets are going to continue to dig into the story and to exposemurder, this murder that was committed at the behest of mbs, apparently pecker was seeking saudi envestment nachblt who knows if they fle of i didn't want to point out one thing, just to people who are watching. this is not how journalists operate. no yourn house and it is not a journalist being enterprise. it is historically a he is ta it is historically a he is tn e market. >> so this supposedly involves the kingdom of saudi arabia. doesn't it a.m.i. story bring us down to stormy daniels and all these other problems that trump brings to th

chuck, remind people who andy mb cane is in this story.ll join us when it comes out. and i imagine andy mccabe finally telling his side of the story is going to be a real trigger for this president, who's still under investigation for possible conspiracy with the russians and possible obstruction of justice. >> andy mccabe was a career fbi special agent. he started working on the streets of new york on organized crime cases. he had worked his way up through the fbi, serving as the assistant director in charge of the washington field office, became deputy director under director comey and when jim comey was fired, andy became the acting director of the fbi. i think he would tell you he made some mistakes, but on balance he's a fine, decent and honorable man. he's also a credible man. i believe that andy is telling the truth when he describes in his book the way that rod rosenn reacted in the events of leading up to comey and the aftermath. i should add we're seeing this now, mueller had this for a year and three quarters. so you can be sure

tonight, we have the latest damming evidence tieing the saudi crowned prince mbs to jamal khashoggi's on intelligence intercepts of mbs of the saudi crown prince, the material we rarely get to hear about as members of the public while the president has shown little interest finding out who is responsible for murdering jamal khashoggi. "thetimes" reports they are sifting through years of the text communications that the national security agency routinely intercepted and stored. included in that material was reportedly a phone conversation the year before jamal khashoggi was murdered in which the crown prince told an aid that if jamal khashoggi could not be brought to saudi arabia but enticement or force he personally would go after khashoggi quote with a bullet. questi yes, that's the same guy on the cover and every page of the special issue, the new transformative leader of the magic kingdom. tonight, "the washington post" says "the inquirer" is threatening to publish his private and embarrassing photos unless he says publicly the parent company a.m.i. definitely totally has not been

president trump as you detailed with mbs and saudi arabia and now with kim jong-un and north korea hasgains possible in foreign policy as a way to excuse behavior that his own intelligence communities and many of his own advisers have seen at abhorrent. we've seen this president navigating on his own, isolated often, as he moves forward and tries to use almost a real estate perspective on foreign policy, about leverage, meeting personalities as a way to make some type of foreign policy accomplishment but he struggled each step of the way, as they documented. >> you just said the most important thing said so far in this broadcast. we're going to snieak in a brea and pick this up right rwhere yu left it. this up right rwhere yo left it. with all that usaa offers why go with anybody else? we know their rates are good, we know that they're always going to take care of us. it was an instant savings and i should have changed a long time ago. we're the tenney's and we're usaa members for life. call usaa to start saving on insurance today. >> you just said the most >> you just said the most i

did mbs kill jamal khashoggi and if so what are you going to do about it? you have to answer. this is my opinion as a member of congress of the executive branch defying the law. they would rather defy the law and defend saudi arabia in this case and that's a matter of grave concern. they have to figure out what we can do about it whether we have mechanisms to challenge but we think most of us in the hill is a serious misinterpretation of the global magnitsky act. second, we have to now decide what we can do as a congress about the khashoggi case going forward. again, the magnitsky act creates authority for sanctions. we could if we chose pass legislation that and they sanctions for anybody responsible for the death of jamal khashoggi. this would be the next logical step and it is something that i hope congress will do. there is support for such legislation in the senate. we've seen senator menendez, senator young and others introduced legislation along those lines so it has bipartisan support in the senate. i believe that there would be significant support in the house of repr

committee invoked a law that requires president trump to determine whether or not the saudi crown prince, mbsectly for the death of journalist jamal khashoggi. that deadline came and went on friday with no response from the white house. the president maintains his discretion to decline to act on congressional committee's request when appropriate. >> this isn't an informal committee request. the law requires that when the chairman and the rankin member of the foreign relations committee ask the president to make a finding as to a human rights violation overseas, he has to respond. he has to respond. that's what the law says. he doesn't have an option here. i understand why he doesn't want to make this determination. his intelligence services are telling him that mohammad bin salman was responsible and because either of a personal relationship he has or a business relationship he has with saudi arabia, he is declining to make that finding to congress. but this isn't his general executive discretion. he has to, under the law. >> he didn't. >> and he didn't. >> so what now? >> listen, i assume we

. >> not only does he agree with kim jong-un, he agrees with vladimir putin, duterte, mbs. why?ly thing -- i can't get in his head on these things and i'm not here to spend my time bashing trump. you have to tell things as you see them and that's what i do here when i work at cnn. but you can't sell human rights down the river. you can't trade something that is bad, hoping you're going to get something good. life doesn't work that way. he should have said, are you kidding me? i want you to release all these prisoners. human rights problems in korea, it's one of the worst places on the face of the earth. maybe he thinks he's going to get a better deal. maybe that's his way of getting the art of the deal. here is what i -- first of all, thank god whoa didn't get a bad deal out of north korea. that's what a lot of people are saying. secondly, how can you go there when you don't already have it pretty well accomplished? you don't send the president over there to negotiate from the seat of his pants. they walk away. they don't have much. what about china now? we're in the middle of t

of course many people believe thlkd never this could never happen without mbs's direct order. you have been in the room with the terrorist suspects. you were in the room with the saudis who committed 9/11. some of them. some of saudis involved in al qaeda. what should the policy be? the united states has a relationship, a key relationship with saudi arabia, and yet this awful thing happened when many of the other things. what should the policy be at this particular time? >> i think at this particular time, we need to hold the saudi government and those responsible today in the saudi arabia government accountable for their actions with jamal khashoggi, their factions yemen and so forth. saudi arabia is an important partner and ally to the united states, but they are an important partner to the west and the u.s. if they play a productive role in the region, unfortunately the role they play is not productive in any way, shape, or form. king salman had the opportunity to choose between the stability of saudi arabia and his son. unfortunately he chose his son. a weak saudi arabia d

what is mbs responsible? what comes next?ch is not fulfilling its legally mandated requirements to report what happened. that leaves us with congressional and private reaction. on the congressional act there is the arms expert control act. president trump said he sold $110 billion to saudi arabia which isn't actually factually accurate, if those go forward congress could block them. they could try to pass a veto-proof bill which imposts sanctions. while all that is happening the private sector has a big role to play here. we have not seen massive divestment in saudi arabia by private sector companies. that could have leverage over the saudi government. >> interesting. thank you sam. as always. >>> it is the biggest night in music. bun grammy-nominated artist won't be there to collect any awards if he wins. rapper 21 savage, arrested by i.c.e. and facing deportation. how the hip hop community is rallying behind him next.

you see people going from inside of the cabinet to new jobs, work mb director mick mulvaney is rightd over to that chief-of-staff job. nikki haley was u.s. ambassador to the united nations. they've taken that job out of the cabinet. they're waiting for heather naue nauert. she wouldn't go essentially. you've had couple of people leave because of scandals or internal investigations. those include epa director scott pruitt, ryan zinke also. a lot of this cabinet is still empty. and then another thing that i want to point out, there's been a lot of turnover in his national security staff. you have both his secretary of state rex tillerson who was replaced by mike pompeo, the cia director james mattis has had a deputy, patrick shanahan nominated to replace him. it's a remarkable turnover. some researchers at brookings suggested that it's been about 65% of the president's cabinet. his turnover at least one time and that is more than george w. bush had in eight years, 65% and it's almost where the last two democratic presidents, they were just over 70% for their eight years. a lot of turno

. >> the lack of acknowledging the connection between the murder of jamal khashoggi and mbs actually.here was a meeting last week at the white house about this idea of putting nuclear reactors for nuclear power in saudi arabia. so that is an ongoing proposition. i think for -- there's a couple things going on here, one is that the saudis have been willing to splash a lot of money around in terms of arms deals and the nuclear proposition. that's something that trump has obviously been resituate to. there is also this idea that the administration views everything in the middle east in terms of iran and saudi arabia is on the right side as far as they are concerned. when it comes to iran. and so we are with these guys. we are against those guy, and no matter what has come down, sorry, what has come out the things that you were naming, they have not waived from that position. >> can you imagine if the middle east unstable, saudi arabia, israel with technology and weapons? >> no, not necessarily one i want to imagine, let's just say. >> exactly. >> dave lawler. thank you. >> thanks a lot.

>> you're not negotiating with mbs. >> he can't play the role that he's been playing.is the dilemma inside the white house, for sure. >> i want to bring up one more point, because michael cohen said something in his closing statement yesterday that, it's not a new idea, but it's not been uttered very often. take a listen to what michael cohen said in that concluding statement. >> given my experience working for mr. trump, i fear that if he loses the election in 2020, that there will never be a peaceful transition of power. >> so to some, that's going to sound alarmist and dramatic and overly dramatic, and then you say, well, michael cohen knows how donald trump acts and he never can ever admit losing and he never -- you know, you can picture a scenario where he would struggle to concede. >> well, firstly, this is pure speculation from michael cohen's part. yes, he's looking at the man he's known for a while and guessing what might happen. ly say, in the final days, final weeks of the 2016 campaign, i went to a bunch of president trump's rallies, and he stoked this feel
