i think what mike pompeo was trying to say, yes, it's a tough call. it's not always the one you would make if you didn't have all these other considerations to have to consider. >> reporter: yeah. and the question was actually very pointed and well framed. the question was, are you putting the interest of american corporations above the interests of human rights? and then the secretary of state said, look, we've got to consider what the reality of the situation is here. the middle east is a dangerous place. the united states has to have a very strong ally in the region. saudi arabia is one of those allies. so you have to make the calculation as to what you're going to do based on the relationship you need ahead with such an important strategic ally. it looks, at the moment, that this will be sanctions against the 17 saudis named by the treasury department the other day and likely isn't going to extend to the saudi leadership. >> dana: john, do you know if those 17 targeted for sanctions, if it overlaps with the 12 that the saudis have said that they m

the woman who replaced mike pompeo. the only top official in the administration to reportedly have heard the audio recording of khashoggi's assassination. senators from both sides of the aisle were not happy about that. at least one suggested the white house wouldn't even let haspel attend. >> not having gina haspel at this briefing is a cover up. >> like plomost in the room was

i'm a little bit surprised at the tone and tenor of the op-ed by mike pompeo. i know him and work with him. this one surprised me a little bit. we have some really complicated issues that we will have to get through both in the senate and the house. by honking off maybe 51% of people it doesn't seem like a strategy to me. >> honking off is the official policy position of the show at this moment. i really appreciate it. we will watch this classified briefing continue to play out on the hill. >>> coming up next for us, does nancy pelosi have the votes? democrats in congress are meeting now to nominate their choice for the next speaker of the house. . i'd make it available in dozens, make that thousands of configurations. it would keep an eye on my fleet.

defense secretary james mattis and secretary of state mike pompeo. rs. rich, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. some of the senators say they want more punishment for the saudi government and saudis over the murder of jamal khashoggi. some are saying they want the united states to end its support for the saudi backer, saudi will have led coalition in the fighting in yemen. secretary of state mike pompeo is deafing that. -- defending that. he said this conflict isn't optional for saudi arabia and abandoning it puts american interest at risk. what would happen if the u.s. withdrew from the yemen effort? guess what, the war wouldn't end. the united states called the war the worst humanitarian cries of our time. three quarters of the population in need of assistance. the saudi coalition is fighting iranian backed hooties. writing in the "wall street journal" today, the secretary says the u.s. does not condone khashoggi's murder and that the trump administration will consider additional punishment against the saudis if more facts about khashoggi's mu

secretary of state mike pompeo saying according to his prepared remarks in this briefing, we want to keep saudi arabia in america's column because the alternative is take over by china and russia. pompeo also wrote that the trump administration would consider more punishment for saudi arabia if new information came to light on the murder of jamal khaishoggi. the cia director, gina haspel, went to turkey looking into the murder of khaishoggi. she was not add the briefing despite that democrats and republicans requested her attendance. >> it was inadequate because the cia was not there. so the question for me is whether or not the cia supporting the conclusion with a high degree of confidence that the crown prince was complicit in the murder of mr. khaishoggi. >> the republican chairman of the senate foreign relations committee bob corker said it was apparent to the senators in the room today that the saudi count prince mohammed bin salman was responsible for the death of khaishoggi and the crown prince is out of control. there's the bipartisan group of senators pushing for the united s

we will talk live with secretary of state, mike pompeo.as announced the remaining sanctions that were lifted as part of the 2015 iran nuclear deal will be reimposed on monday. one day before the midterms. president trump drove home the point friday when he tweeted this photo with the words, sanctions are coming. a nod to game of thrones. joining me live from the state department, secretary of state mike pompeo. welcome back to "fox news sunday". >> great to be with you. >>chris: your reimposed in all u.s. sanctions on iran but your giving exemptions to aid countries to allow them to keep buying oil from tehran. question, why? >> the sanctions that will be imposed tomorrow at the toughest sanctions ever put in place on the islamic republic of iran. they are aimed at a single purpose. denying their capacity to do things like this past week. an assassination attempt in the heart of europe. we have reduced crude oil exports by 1 million barrels per day. that number will fall farther. there's a handful of places where countries that have alread

lou: what is mike pompeo thinking ? >> i have no idea.eone should have said to him no, thank yes very much, mr. secretary. you can't have it. all you have to do is read her columns and tweets. she's public about this. a nice person, articulate person but not a trump person. lou: the previous secretary of state for this administration did the same thing and got his tail kicked. this one, it looks to me, deserves the same response by the white house. i can't think imagine why it's not happening. >> the president or someone will have a heart to heart with him, this is the most important thing we're going to be doing in the next two years, foreign policy stuff this is my policy. i want people to advocate my policy. the state department is hard to move forward on anybody's agenda but their own. lou: the president is moving things by himself. this is the man driving the north korea engagement, also driving the new doctrine against china and, frankly, as christian whiten pointed out, this president has been far tougher, for example, than his pre

the us secretary of state has dismissed criticism of the killing of jamal khashoggi as "cat mike pompeoade it clear that there woud be no further punishment of saudi arabia, despite the fact that the cia has reportedly concluded that the saudi crown prince ordered the journalist's murder. mr pompeo was on capitol hill both briefing senators on the khashoggi case, and berating them for their calls for tougher sanctions against the saudi leadership. his argument is that getting tough on mohamed bin salman wouldn't help us interests — and wouldn't help end the war in yemen. we are on the cusp of allowing the us envoy martin griffiths to, in december, gather the parties together and hopefully get a ceasefire in yemen. it is something we have been diplomatically striving for for months and we think we are right on the cusp of that. so the view of the administration secretary, mattis and myself, the passing a resolution at this point undermines that. our state department correspondent barbara plett usher is on capitol hill for us. you're expecting a vote in the senate, but the message from po

mike pompeo spoke afterwards. choice, it can do a 100 and 80 degree turn from its outlaw course of action and act like a see itsountry or at can economy crumble. we hope that a new agreement with iran is possible, but until it makes changes in the ways that i listed in may, we will be relentless and exerting pressure on the regime. the sanctions follow the trump withdraw from that iranian your

>> we are in a holding pattern, no meeting from mike pompeo to his counterpart.: it was canceled by north korea. >> we have no inventory of south korea's nuclear weapons nor do we have a timetable for their destruction. what appears to be happening is north korea is trying to wait us out, they know the sanctions regime is very fragile, we depend on russia and china, breaking the sanctions and south korea which is interested in more economic collaboration with north korea and they are hoping they don't have to give up much on the path to denuclearization in return to economic benefit. that is what kim jong un is all about. heather: their cooperation with the sanctions, we do have competing interests with various countries but we need them in order for this to work, if the world will see north korea restrained in any way. >> this is the diplomatic challenge for mike pompeo and i'm glad he is the one leading the way with his team, envoy from north korea, who is very exceptional talent as well in this area but that is the challenge. mike pompeo has to convince south

let's go to secretary mike pompeo. >> with that i'm happy to take a few questions. . >> reporter: mr. secretary, one of the things that the president points to in his statement is a $110 billion arms initiative but by the state department's own record, only $14.5 billion has come through. when do you expect to see the rest of the money from that arms agreement? >> some of these contracts, defense contracts in it can, are complex.negotiations, we are working diligently. i couldn't tell when you those negotiations will conclude but we are hopeful that each of those commitments that the kingdom of saudi arabia made to the united states to purchase equipment will be completed in a timely fashion. >> reporter: based on the president's statement, moving forward, relations with saudi arabia won't be affected by the killing of jamal khashoggi, and how can you differentiate between the kingdom and the crown prince? >> yeah. so it's a mean, nasty world out there. the middle east in particular. there are important american interests to keep the american people safe. to protect americans. not onl

mike pompeo is doing a good job. i could go through every one of them. then you might be able to figure out the one or two that i am less happy with. that would not be good. thank you, i will see you in california. are going to be looking at everything. thank you. thank you very much. president trump this afternoon californianorthern on his way to a wildfire damage of the state. he was greeted by outgoing governor jerry brown and fema administrator. california congressman kevin mccarthy who is said to be house minority leader in january traveled on air force one with the president. c-span, where history unfold daily. in that 79, c-span was created as a public service by america's cable television company. today, we bring you unfiltered coverage of commerce -- congress, the white house, the and events in washington, d.c. and around the country. c-span is brought to you by your cable or satellite provider. tomorrow morning on washington journal, two former members of congress. a conversation about north korea's missile and nuclear programs.

in the meantime, secretary of state mike pompeo is saying that crown prince muhammad bin salman will hold all those accountable. let's go to istanbul where kauc jomana karadsheh is standing by. jomana, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, dave. it has been more than 40 days since the daisappearance and killing of jamal khashoggi. you mentioned the phone call with secretary of state mike pompeo and the saudi crown prince is what so many are demanding. friends and colleagues are wondering when they will see real accountability. before that, there are so many questions to be answered that turkey has been seeking the answers to and they believe that saudi arabia has the answers. mainly the two key questions is where is the body if there is a body left of jamal khashoggi or his remains and who ordered the killing. they put the questions to the saudis and so far they say there is lack of cooperation from the saudi authorities. you see turkey trying to bring in the strategy from the past few weeks of the drip feed of information and leaks trying to put pressure on the international comm

mike pompeo and james mattis they were on hill, the us believes russia provoked the latest conflict. and he says the meeting with donald trump is still on at least for now. >> in yemen, a lot of lawmakers -- >> and >> it did not stand by the cia assessment of the murder. and to hold of all senate business, and the president gets can cover from secretary metis. >> they are absent today speaks volumes. about the white house's intention of congressional oversight in saudi arabia. >> we have no smoking gun that the crown prince was involved. not the intelligence community or anybody else, no smoking gun. >> a bipartisan group of senators rejected that voting 63-37 to bring up another measure to limit the president's war powers in yemen. they want to rein in us involvement in the saudi military campaign against the rebels in yemen and limit the us role for battling al qaeda. the procedural vote is a chance for the administration to block the next round as the president claims the saudis are us ally despite this scene. we've not heard the last of this, he is fired up and saying this. shann

others criticized the move as well as nikki haley and mike pompeo. this was the president's response. >> i'm not happy about it at all. not at all. we let our position be known. we do not like what's happening. we don't like what's happening. hopefully it will get straightened out. >> we have cnn's nick paton walsh live on the phone in ukraine. >> reporter: ukraine is hours away from introducing marshall law as a response to the kerch strait where the ukrainian vessels were boarded and sailors were taken captive. russia, for their part, said this was a provocation. this is the more muted response from the u.s. president and the falls into the pattern of the russian actions in the east of ukraine to undermine the ukrainian government and ukrainian economy. it has been about what moscow thinks it can get away with. the insurance secident in the a shows how they are able to confront and arrest the military. the war has continued, but it used proxies to continue the fighting. this is a clear military on military confrontation. i think there are many anal

[no audio] mr. carmichael: pres. trump: i want to think the mayor, governor -- pres. trump: i want to think the mayor, governor, and governor-elect. brock, i want to thank you for the job. it has been incredible. law enforcement has been beyond anything anybody could belief. to see what has happened here, nobody would have ever thought this could have happened so the federal government is behind you. we are all behind each other. jerry and i have been speaking, haveavin ni -- gavin and i gott

it will be jim mattis, mike pompeo.igned by the administration to try to make the case to stop a resolution in the senate that would end the u.s. involvement in the saudi-led war in yemen. that's a resolution being pushed by senators mike lee of utah, republican, bernie sanders, independent from vermont and chris murphy of connecticut. it could come up for a vote as soon as today. the administration is trying to make the case that it should not pass. the question will be what the administration knows about the khashoggi murder and the question about how the congress should respond afterwards by moving on either sanctions or doing anything else to punish in particular the saudi crown prince. all of those questions may not be answered in full today because of the fact that haspel is not coming. you will hear republicans and democrats raise concerns about that later today. >> let me just ask you this. the administration clearly digging its heels in here saying we have gone as far as we can, relationship comes first. you ha

other leaders condemned the move as well as nikki haley and secretary of state mike pompeo.ent's response. >> i'm not happy about it at all. not at all. we let our position be known. we do not like what's happening. either way, we don't like what is happening. >> ukraine declared marshall law on the border regions. 24 sailors contained. nick paton walsh is live with the latest. nick, where are we headed here? >> reporter: dave, this is a potentially serious flashpoint. the war with russia and ukraine has been happening for years since the invasion in the east through the separatist proxies, we have not seen the military go head-to-head against each other in this clumsy way in the azov sea on monday. it is causing a conflict here to be back in global focus. it caused secretary of state mike pompeo to talk about russian aggression and german chancellor angela merkel to talk about the need for deescalation and vladimir putin conversely to accuse ukraine of provocation and trying to stir trouble up right now. more importantly here, it caused marshall law which will come into pla

i will be speaking also with secretary of state mike pompeo. reporter: [indiscernible] president trump: we have not been talking about it. we will see. reporter: [indiscernible] president trump: it is not under consideration. we are always looking. whatever we can do for turkey, and frankly, countries we get along with very well, we are having a good moment was turkey. they gave a pastor back last week and we appreciate that. we are doing well with turkey. i get along very well with the president. he's a friend of mine. he is a strong man, a tough man, and a smart man. he is a friend of mine, and whatever we can do, we will do. that is something we are always looking at. but at this point, no. reporter: [indiscernible] president trump: what? we haven't even talked about it. yeah, we have a tremendous military force on the southern border. we have large numbers of people trying to get into our country. i must say, the reason it has increased so much is because we are doing so well as opposed to the rest of the world. if you look south of our bor

>> reporter: well, that's the question mike pompeo refused to answer two times today, but senators whohe room during that briefing said that pompeo and mattis told them it was the white house's direction that the cia director, gina haspel, was not a part of the briefing today, though they did not elaborate why, in that briefing, and the white house hasn't elaborated on why she wasn't there to us either. now, that raises the question, because there was a clear request from the senators to have her there, as you just heard from lindsey graham and from rand paul, because not only is she the cia director, but she's the one who's listened to the audio of this killing that they said that they have at the cia, and she's the one who traveled to turkey in the wake of jamal khashoggi's death to do some investigation. so, that is why they wanted her there today, but when mike pompeo was asked, why isn't your -- the cia director here, briefing us with you, he kind of smirked and said, well, i was asked to be here and then he repeated that line again, but he did not go any further than that. of cou

also adding to the pressure on the saudi leadership, the us secretary of state mike pompeo, in paris comments made in a phone call with crown prince mohammed bin salman, the country's de facto leader. how much all this will convince the saudis to reveal all the details of who ordered the killing is questionable. and meanwhile, there is another agenda, the long conflict here in yemen, in which saudi arabia has been playing a key role. there is a push now for a key role. there is a push now for a ceasefire being led by the united states, britain and other western countries, as millions of yemenis face not just countries, as millions of yemenis face notjust the countries, as millions of yemenis face not just the fighting countries, as millions of yemenis face notjust the fighting but countries, as millions of yemenis face not just the fighting but also an impending famine. the bombing campaign led by saudi arabia and the united arab emirates has left many civilians dead. with the saudis under intense pressure over the murder of mr khashoggi, written and the united states sent an opportu

absorbing the impact of what he and mike pompeo said, it is a nasty world out there, and ignoring the intelligence community and ignoring as fred ryan of the washington post said the essential american value of human rights. >> and andrea, it is a nasty world out there, and which is all of the more reason why there is an urgent need for american leadership, and principled leadership in which we are in the world and leading with our values, and we are talking about and setting example about democracy, human rights and freedom. and so in my estimation n is a strategic mistake by the united states to veer an american foreign policy tradition grounded in values and not to the realist side of the perspective but to mercantile side of the world, and the only thing that matters is how much you pay for the american exports, and to that theory, if iran or any other country were to say, well, we will pay a higher price, and then under that theory, if you take it to the logical extension, trump should do business with them as well. >> and first of all, fact-checking. they need us more than we ne

plus secretary of state mike pompeo will join us to preview the administration's plan for resuming sanctionsiran. we'll hear from democratic senator mark warner about what democrats are hoping for going into the election, and republican national committee chair ronna mcdaniel will also be here. we'll have plenty of political analysis all ahead on "face the nation." >> dickerson: good morning and welcome to "face the nation." we'll get right to it. our big story today, what's going to happen in tuesday's mid-term election. for that we turn to cbs news elections and surveys director anthony salvanto. anthony one of the busiest men in the building right now. let's start. you've done a survey of the house races. what does it show? >> we have been tracking race by race, especially in the competitive districts. the democrats go into tuesday in position to take control, even if narrowly, so right now they would get to 225. that's just a few seats over from the 218 they would need to win. there is margin of error on that estimate, and that leaves a very plausible scenario in which republicans retain

p mike pompeo saying they were the toughest place on iran.n oil embargo in place and tehran is ready to fight the order. we have cnn's fred pleitgen with the latest. >> reporter: the officials denouncing the sanctions and ir ir iran's president saying rouhani would bust the sanctions. he says the iranians say the sanctions are illegal and calling on other countries to defy the sanctions. on the ground in tehran here, there is a lot of anger at the united states. i was at the major demo that took place yesterday with the effigies mocking president trump and people saying they will defy the sanctions and stand up to the united states. of course, at the same time, you have a lot of people who are extremely concerned here in iran about the sanctions. the economy here already very much in a tail spin. if that oil revenue falls away, many fear what the future might bring for the nation as finances are in trouble. christine. >> fred, the united states has granted waivers to countries importing iranian oil. there is a bit of concern that stopping the

we will take you to the us because the secretary of state mike pompeo is giving a news conference onsed on iran, tough new sanctions, so let's listen tough new sanctions, so let's listen to what he had to say. we have decided to grant narrow and temporary waivers to prevent the continuation of three nonproliferation projects currently under way. allowing these activities to continue the time being will improve ongoing the civil nuclear programme lets —— make the facility is less susceptible to elicit and illegal nuclear use. rest assured, iran will never come close to getting a nuclear weapon on the watch of president from. i will now turnit watch of president from. i will now turn it over to the secretary. thank you. today, the united states is executed on the final actions to withdraw on the president obama administration's fatally flawed iran deal. this morning we will fully impose sanctions on the iranian regime. this is part of a maximum unprecedented economic campaign that the united states is waging against the united states is waging against the world's largest state sponsor

mike pompeo has a subtle mind. his op-ed isn't subtle. he said the choice is to keep saudi arabia as an ally. therefore, we have to defend mbs. or lose saudi arabia and iran dominate the region. those aren't the choices. saudi arabia is a valued ally of the united states but mbs doesn't have to be the crown prince. i mean, that's a decision for the royalty there to make but we can certainly put pressure on them. we try to put pressure on all kinds of folks everywhere and he's shown by his actions, not just the killing of khashoggi, but the reckless war the yemen and a number of other things that -- and the imprisonment of the royal family and torture of some of them allegedly, that he might not be the best choice for the ailing king to make as his heir. >> garrett, this really does bring to the fore what congress' powers are in these things. the senate expected to vote on a resolution to withdraw u.s. military support of the yemen conflict. look. as i pointed out there, this isn't just a matter of us supporting saudi arabia. the united st

joining me now live from the state department, secretary of state mike pompeo. "fox news sunday." >> secretary pompeo: good morning, great to be with you today. >> chris: your re-imposing all u.s. sanctions on iran but you're giving exemptions to eight countries to allow them to keep buying oil from tehran. question, why? speak to sanctions that will be reimposed tomorrow are the toughest sanctions ever put in place on the islamic republic of iran. a singular purpose, denying the world's largest state sponsor of terrorists to keep them from doing things like an assassination campaign in the heart of europe. a million barrels per day. that number will fall farther. there's a handful of places were countries that have already made significant reductions in their crude oil exports need a little more time to get to zero and we are going to provide that to them. >> chris: is it true that your giving exemptions to two of iran's biggest customers, namely india and china, and do you have a firm commitment that within six months they will stop oil purchases because a lot

this summer, secretary of state mike pompeo, hosted the first-ever international minute steerial on religious freedom, representatives from 88 countries attended to review the harsh realities confronted religious minorities around the globe. the clearest message of all throughout ministryial is that the united states unequivocally represents religious liberty. i'm grateful that ambassador haley talked about the human rights crisis against the ethnic and religious minority, rohingya of burma, as well as the minority christians in burma. after president barack obama lifted sanctions on burma, the burmese military has been targeting religious minorities, resulting in the creation of the world's largest ever refugee camp of 1.1 million people in bangladesh. secretary pompeo and ambassador haley deserve thanks for shining a light on this tremendous evil in burma. in conclusion, god bless our troops and we will never forget september 11 and the global war on terrorism. mr. speaker, i now move that we adjourn. the speaker pro tempore: the chair will first lay before the house a communication. the cl

." >> secretary of state mike pompeo briefed reporters on a range of foreign-policy issues at the state department tuesday. he was asked about the death of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi and diplomatic relations with saudi arabia. this is 10 minutes. secretary pompeo: good afternoon, everyone. happy thanksgiving. i want to touch on five topics today. first, the united states today sanctioned an international network that the iranian regime and russia are using to provide millions of barrels of oil to the assad regime. this is in exchange for the movement of hundreds of millions of dollars to the irgc quds force. that money is then passed on to terrorist organizations like hezboallah and hamas. the united states in its continued efforts will not allow these dirty dealings to flourish. iran will not be allowed to exploit the international financial system, to hide revenue streams it uses to fund terrorist activity, support sectarian militias, abusing civilian populations, or to destabilize the region. second, you've seen that interpol is electing a new president. it's an important organ

. >> the secretary of state, mike pompeo, says there's no direct reporting that the saudi crown prince ordered the killing of khashoggi. the defense secretary, general mattis, says there is no smoking gun. you said the evidence of the crown prince's involvement is, in your word, overwhelming. why don't the president and these other top officials necessarily agree with you? >> i think what's been going on for a long time in american foreign policy, we're so used to supporting the lesser of two evils. i think the evil that occurred to mr. khashoggi was so barbaric that people are having trouble looking away. and this administration is doing what every administration has done for the last decade after decade. they look away when it's their guy. how many times throughout the cold war did we choose one evil dictator over another if they were pro america versus pro soviet? this is just another example. so this is not something abrupt with the trump administration. this is actually a continuation of the norm in washington, and that is to excuse bad behavior. but i will tell you, today the sen
