mr. khashoggi to the highest level possible. i think the behavior before the khashoggi was beyond disturbing and i cannot see him being a reliable partner to the united states. saudi arabia and mbs are two different entities. if the saudi government is going to be in the hands of this man for a long time to come, i find it very difficult to be able to do business because i think he is crazy. i think he is dangerous and he has put the relationship at risk. grahamore from lindsey in a little bit. we are talking about this for the first hour of the "washington journal" program, asking how the united states should respond to saudi arabia over the khashoggi killing. republicans, it is 202-748-8001. democrats, 202-748-8000. independents, 202-748-8002. having this conversation after a busy news today in washington yesterday. here is another one of the top stories. michael flynn helped substantially with the special counsel's investigation and should receive little to no prison time for lying to federal investigators. mr. flynn was a key

mr khashoggi, a us resident and columnist for the washington post died inside the saudi consulate iny graham, a leading critic of mbs, as he is knownm said the briefing confirmed his view that mohammed bin salman was culpable. there is not a smoking gun, there is a smoking saw. you have to be wilfully blind not to come to the conclusion that this was orchestrated and organised by people under the command of mohammed bin salman and that he was intricately involved in the demise of mr khashoggi. the saudis have charged 11 people but denied the crown prince was involved. the us secretary of state insists there is no direct evidence to connect mohammed bin salman to the death of mr khashoggi. donald trump says the cia's findings are not conclusive and he has refused to condemn the saudi crown prince. the administration is looking increasingly isolated in its view. i have zero question in my mind that the crown prince, mohammed bin salman, ordered the killing, monitored the killing, knew exactly what was happening and planted in advance. if he were in front of a jury he would be convicted

mr. khashoggi has caused a lot of people to stop and say wait a minute, maybe this does not make sense. wait a minute. perhaps this is a regime that we ought not be supporting. or at least at a minimum, regardless of the fact that we may have some interest, some reason to be allied with the kingdom of saudi arabia in some way, maybe, just maybe, this is enough of a reason for us to not be fighting a war on behalf of the kingdom of saudi arabia. .e know this to be true those of us who serve in this body or who serve down the hall in the u.s. house of representatives know something very significant, that if we went to almost anyone of our any part of the country and we asked them -- why should the united states of america, the greatest military power, the greatest republic, arguably the greatest civilization the world is ever why should we be putting american laws and treasure on the lin to fight as co-belligerents in a civil war half a world away in yemen? we knowk that question, 99 times out of a hundred, perhaps 9900 times out of 1000, we know that that would not result in a confident

under the command of mohammed bin salman and that he was intricately involved in the demise of mr khashoggiwn prince was involved. the us secretary of state insists there is no direct evidence to connect mohammed bin salman to the death of mr khashoggi. donald trump says the cia's findings are not conclusive and he has refused to condemn the saudi crown prince. the administration is looking increasingly isolated in its view.|j have zero question in my mind that the crown prince, mohammed bin salman, ordered the killing, monitored the killing, knew exactly what was happening and planted in advance. if he were in front of a jury advance. if he were in front of a jury he would be convicted. the briefing has only strengthened the resolve of senators to seek consequences for what they believe happened in istanbul. the next move will be a vote in the senate to end us military support for the saudi led war in yemen. share prices in the united states have fallen sharply, amid fears of an economic slowdown. investors are also worried that talks between the us and china won't defuse the growing trade

mr. khashoggi. now, i want to tell you i think what's happened to mr. khashoggi is an outrage. i don't need a smoking gun. i don't need intelligence briefings to tell me that the crown prince is responsible. if you know anything about saudi arabia, if you know anything about how their government works, and if you know anything about the crown prince, you know that there is no way that 17 guys close to him get on an airplane, fly to a third country, chop a guy up in a consulate, dispose of the body, and fly back, and he didn't know anything about it. it's just not real. it's also consistent with a pattern of behavior by the crown prince. he literally kidnapped the prime minister of lebanon about a year and a half ago. he has jailed multiple members of his family and government because they weren't in support of him being a successor to the king. this is a pattern of behavior that needs to be dealt with. i do not believe it need to shatter the u.s.-saudi aliewns many foreign policy is hard -- alliance

mr. khashoggi. the crown prince put an embargo on qatar, ally of the united states, where we had 14,000 troops and never told us about it. he put the prime minister of lebanon under house arrest and got him to resign. he has put half his family in jail. he has been a wrecking ball when it comes to the mideast in general. i have had enough. if we don't stop him now, it gets worse later. so i'm not going to support arm sales to somebody this unstable. what makes you believe he wouldn't take an american weapons system and give it to the chinese? this guy is nuts. >> martha: everybody thought he was a reformer. >> i did, too. >> martha: he had a good relationship with jared kushner. the president made his first trip to saudi arabia. why do you think you all -- everybody knows that there is a lot of bad actors and bad actions in the world. tiananmen square, he was cheering champagne with the leadership in china. we overlook a lot of bad stuff in the world because we need to sometimes. why is this so diff

mr. khashoggi have been brought to justice. and i will no longer support the war in yemen as constructed. [ overlapping speakers ] >> no. i think that's the wrong approach. what i want to do is make a statement about the complicity of the crown prince, that i think is supported by the evidence. then i want sanctions imposed. the global maninski act against those responsible. and put the world on notice, if you try to integrate your economy with the united states, you try to do joint military operations, there's a certain expectation you have to meet. and one of those is that you will not be involved in extrajudicial killing of a journalist if the most brutal of fashions. and if we don't, we're making the world a more dangerous place. i think the very definition of the deep state is when intelligence committees hold information from congress. today there is a c.i.a. briefing going on right now for which most rank-and-file senators and congressmen have been excluded. i think it is wrong for the c.i.a. to have expressed the conclu

mr. khashoggi's murder. at the same time saudi arabia is an important middle eastern partner vital to the security of our regional allies including iz r israel and saudi arabia is essential to countering iran. we know that and we know how ten use things are in that part of the world. we don't have that many friends, we can't afford to lose any of them. while we must be frank with our partners when something is wrong. we must be cautious in damaging a strategic relationship that goes back over half a century. for this reason, i'm hoping that the resolution will be introduced and in which case i will be supporting the resolution that the leader and senator corker has introduced. it criticizes the saudi government for its recent behavior and encourages to get on the right path, the right path to redouble its reform efforts and respect the rights of the citizens and work tornados a peaceful resolution in yemen. and the choices that we have, this is clearly the best choice out there. with that i'll yield the floo

mr. khashoggi. any death is horrible. let me talk about some other deaths. n the middle east and iraq we had over 500 american military members killed and almost 2000 wounded by improvised explosive devices supplied to iraqi militia and's by the iranians. 2000 americans killed and wounded by the largest state sponsor of terrorism and yet nobody seems to talk about that. one death of a journalist is horrible. 2000 americans dead and wounded is really horrible. where was the outrage about those deaths? where was the editorials about those murders of american citizens. , the previous administration wasn't focused on those because they were focused on the iran nuclear deal. all i'm saying is, in this debate, when nobody is talking about the real enemy of the united states, it is the iranians who are watching this debate and smiling because nobody is talking about them. tohought it was important come down and say some of us are. some of us know you are behind the war in yemen and that you continue to say you want to wipe israel off the face of the earth. some of

mr. khashoggi who has been sanctioned by the united states.ct to see that being expanded in the coming weeks and months. >> arthel: to involve the crown prince? >> with regard to the crown prince himself, it will be difficult for the united states to take direct action against the crown prince. you're dealing with a sovereign nation. the united states is not in a position to remove the crown prince from the saudi government. i would expect to see the net of sanctions against individuals around the crown prince to be significant wider in the coming months. especially following the cia investigation into this in the findings released to key members of the u.s. congress. the pressure is going to increase. but, in terms of the big picture, the u.s. saudi relationship will continue. it's far too important partnership to be derailed. the united states has a clear interest working with the saudi's and also in terms of the broader conflicts against isis and other islamic terrorist organizations. the war in syria as well. saudi arabia is a vitally impo

mr. khashoggi to the highest level possible. i think the behavior before the khashoggi murder was beyond disturbing. >> dana: plus, why north carolina officials are refusing to certify the results from one congressional district. this is a month after the elections. i love eggs, and there's a big difference between ordinary... and the best. which egg tastes more farm-fresh and delicious? only eggland's best. which egg has 6 times more vitamin d, 10 times more vitamin e, and 25% less saturated fat? only eggland's best. which egg is so special, i'd never serve my family anything else? for me, it's only eggland's best. better taste, better nutrition, better eggs. than psoriatic arthritis. as you and your rheumatologist consider treatments, ask if xeljanz xr is right for you. xeljanz xr is a once daily pill for psoriatic arthritis. taken with methotrexate or similar medicines, it can reduce joint pain... ...swelling and significantly improve physical function. xeljanz xr can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculo

mr. khashoggi. what does this resolution actually say? >> guest: the resolution doesn't include any binding legal language. it is not actually setting u.s. policy. providing a sense of the senate the saudi arabia's de facto ruler did order the october assassination of jamal khashoggi ticket also makes a number of statements expressing the senate displeasure with various policies of riyadh, having it with human rights. also criticized at length the houthi insurgent in yemen and their conduct in work as well as iran. >> host: it that often we something that is unanimous in either the house or the senate. i was at this unanimous? >> guest: this was not a a unanimous roll call vote. rather it was passed by a voice vote. at an support by republicans. it were a few democrats who metalanguage was a little too neutral regarding some other issues to saudi arabia's but the egregious aborted because it felt like their most best way to send a message to saudi arabia that they are unhappy with its ruler. >> host: on the measure dealing with yemen, rac

mr. khashoggi to the highest level possible. >> we are going to leave nothing uncovered.at being said, the king firmly denied any knowledge of it. it sounded to me like maybe these could have been rogue killers. who knows? >> maybe he did, and maybe he didn't. with those seven words, president trump made a stunning break from his own intelligence community today. >> there's not a smoking gun, there's a smoking saw. >> and i think the conundrum is that trump in his mind thinks that being a loyal friend to mbs and putin projects strength. it's the opposite. u.s. foreign policy doesn't run through riyadh, nor does it run through moscow. it is really the weakest and most un-american thing he does. to look at the erosion as really being on top is not a realistic analysis. there's a picture that has to go with this item. mbs, the crowned prince of saudi arabia, high fiving vladimir putin, and who's their best friend in the west? donald trump. >>> when we come back, we'll dig further into our "10 most" list, including some young people changing the face of the intractable gun de

khashoggi. these are comments coming after a confidential briefing with cia director gina haskell. listen to gina graham and bob corker. >> the open source reports show that he had been focusing on mr. jamal khashoggi for a long time. it is zero chance. zero that this happened in such an organized fashion without the crown prince. i have great respect for pompeo and mattis. if they were in a democratic administration, i would be all over them for being in the pocket of saudi arabia, but since i have such respect for them, i am going to assume they're being good soldiers and when they look at the analysis, they are being technical in their statement. they are not giving the assessment that i think the senate will have. i would really question somebody's judgment if they couldn'ting in out. it is there to be figured out. please let me finish. the reason they don't draw the conclusion that he is complicit is because the administration doesn't want to go down that road, not because there is no evidence to suggest he is complicit. >> you are working on a statement between now. >> i am going do two things. i'm going to try to get a sense of the senate resolution. mbs is one of the people

mr. khashoggi. >>> no president in the oval office was more courageous or principled. >> he never hated anybody container it is carried in. >> the last words he said to me were i love you, too. >> this is new day with alisyn camerota and john berman. >> welcome to your "new day." alisyn is off and erica hill joins me. >> good morning. >> this is an important moment in

mr. khashoggi, the journalist, or russia's dealings with ukraine at a certain depth level.as that a missed opportunity? >> oh, it's just because donald trump was effectively boxed in. let's be very clear, the russians have put their statement out that their priority was a one on one with putin and trump. they're looking to box flump for example on ukraine. what they have done is not only continued to hold the ukrainian and the sailors that they seized. vladimir people continue saying the war, he did call it wia war as soon as the government is in kiev. he said the united states, specifically donald trump, has given up any leverage over saudi arabia's crown prince, mohamed bin salman over the murder of jamal khashoggi and that means that pressure for a cease-fire of yemen where saudi arabia is a player in that conflict is gone. there is one image that will stay with me, on the first day when vladimir putin and mohamed bin salman had a high five. what's happened to my two best friends? that man is donald trump. saw the picture. want to talk to you about one thing is being sai

mr. khashoggi to highest level possible. lauren: trump administration has expressed criticism.pposition one of the biggest overseas oppositions by japanese company, also one of the most indebted with having secured 31 billion in bank loans, cheryl. cheryl: federal reserve expect today raise interest rates another notch this month but sectors of housing can force to stop short, let's bring in partner of digital risk, i want to play for you i think the key quote from jay powell when he spoke last week. he talked about obviously the rates are, you know, somewhat close to neutral, but listen to what he said about the pace of interest rate hikes. >> we know that moving too fast will risk expansion and moving too slowly could risk other distortions. cheryl: so he's on this, he really is basically saying that they'll be careful. there may not be 3 rate hikes next year. >> yeah, good morning, a look right now for the next 12 months, 2019 probably has one rate hike and i think as far as mortgage interest rates stay around 5%, i think that will be the sweet spot as we look for the first-

mr. jamal khashoggi. >> senator graham went on to say he can no longer do business with saudi arabia if the crazy crown prince is still running the country. let's go live to abu dhabi and bring in sam kiley. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. what a shocking series of revelations that have been reinforced for the turkish position there suggesting from none other than the head of the cia that there is a direct and causal link between crown prince mohammed bin salman and the murder allegedly of jamal khashoggi. now this doesn't come as a massive surprise given the amount of leaking, but particularly that the turks have done -- but it does, does it not, make things difficult indeed for donald trump and his continued support for mbs, and more broadly for the saudi government's campaign in yemen where right now most of the belligerence in that war are beginning to gather in stockholm, sweden, for talks that may take some time. of course, the united nations warning that some 14 million people could be threatened with starvation there. so if there is a silver lining to the murder of jamal kh

mr. jamal khashoggi. who secretary of state and secretary of defense furtherately have demeaned those findings by saying there is no direct evidence or there is no smoking gun. the fact is that there is powerful and compelling evidence. we know from public statements of my colleagues coming from by the intelligence community. we recently learned the white iuse middle east advisor, should put advisor", jared kushner, offered advice to his salmanriend mohammad bin about how to weather the storm during the warranted backlash against saudi arabia after the murder of jamal khashoggi. rather than hearing accountability, jared kushner is inexplicably -- offering support. that saudiidence government lobbyists reserved blocks of rooms at the trump hotel in washington paying for an estimated 500 nights in a luxury hotel just three months after president trump was it -- elected, bringing veterans to washington to lobby against a bill i mentioned earlier, a bill that enabled 9/11 victims to have their day in court. t

mr. khashoggi. it was an atrocity, and it is -- it continues to press for accountability for the persons responsible. i think inside saudi arabia, i left about a week after these, vents came to light, but at that point it seemed as if, unfortunately, popular opinion was rallyingevents came to ligh that point it seemed as if, unfortunately, popular opinion was rallying around the royal family. there was a sense that the leadership was being unfairly attacked from -- from outside. but however that progresses, the administration believes that there needs to be accountability for what happened to mr. khashoggi. >> senator booker? >> thank you very much. forgive me for not being here when a lot of the other questions were asked about yemen, but i'm going to go right there, as well, and just ask first and foremost really there is a counter terrorism issue that it keeps being talked about and in the midst of the conflict in epien with tyemen and the ho they remain to be potential threats and we heard about

mr. khashoggi. it is zero chance, zero, that this happened in such an organized fashion without the crown prince. i would question somebody's judgment if they couldn't figure this out. >> i have zero question in my mind that the crown prince, mbs, ordered the killing, monitored the killing, knew exactly what was happening, planned it in advance. if he was in front of a jury, he would be convicted in 30 minutes guilty. there's no way that anybody with a straight face could say there's any question about what has happened. >> senator corker added the difference between last week's administration briefing and the haspel brief was the difference between darkness and sunshine. chuck schumer is calling for a full senate briefing from the cia director. the house will be briefed next thursday by secretaries pompeo and mattis on yemen and saudi arabia similar to the senator's briefing last week. director haspel is not scheduled to attend that one. david ignatius, what are pompeo and mattis up to here? are th
