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 organization. we strongly endorse kim jong yang, who is serving as its acting president. we encourage all nations and organizations that are part of interpol and that respect the rule of law to choose a leader with cre

secretary pompeo: so i think insecretary pompeo: so i think there's complete agreement between the southoreans and us with respect to how this should proceed. we now have a working group that formalizes those processes so that we can be sure that we don't talk past each other, that we don't take an action or the south koreans don't take an action that the other is unaware of or hasn't had a chance to comment on or provide their thoughts. and that's the purpose of the working group that's being led on our side by stephen biegun. we have made clear to the republic of korea that we do want to make sure that peace on the peninsula and the denuclearization of north korea aren't lagging behind the increase in the amount of inter-relationship between the two koreas. we view them as tandem, as moving forward together. we view them as important parallel processes, and that working group is designed to make sure they continue to remain that way. >> and a final question, cnn. >> hi. secretary pompeo, you mentioned you're gathering all these facts. does the president's statement today mean that that

secretary pompeo: i cannot -- i cannot comment on intelligence matters. directoryou to the dni or the cia to talk about those issues. facts will come to light. it is the way the world works for >> caller: -- the world works. >> and even if it shows -- beentary pompeo: we have unambiguous with you to how we have treated the data set we've been able to get. when america has the information it needs, it will do the right thing to protect american interests. and we have done so every count time. >> [indiscernible] >> how can you -- >> tonight on c-span, the commissioner of the fda and head of the national cancer institute as well as others will discuss the latest advances in cancer treatment and patient care. >> the major change in cancer care in my lifetime is this movement from treating every patient the same. every breast cancer patient we do the same regimen, appreciating that even these tissue-specific cancers are many types of cancer and patients need if not personalize therapy, based on thate makeup of their tumor. that treatment as going from treating

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

you have the veterans hospital to a degree and mike pompeo. isn't he burning a bridge here that's pretty important? >> yes! i know he is. >> yeah. >> from someone who was on capitol hill should know better. you're just angering these people. you know what that does? it causes them to dig in. they don't want to back down on that. a lot of these people have been engaged for longer than trump. they have a history here. they do not want to see it this transactional. i think the public is looking at this too going who is going to stand up? we have done a lot of dirty business. this is a very public incident of which there is evidently an audio of. i don't think it's going over very well. i think senators are reacting to that. >> it is to an thet kal to what we are actually seeing. it talks about it like we have no leverage. >> right. >> like they are running the table on us. we are not as energy ind independent. they wouldn't be able to conduct it. we have leverage and we should be using that. there should be a positive effect here. >> and the timi

>> secretary pompeo: watch what we do.already taken more crude oil off the market than any time in previous history. watch the efforts that president trump's policies have achieved. we've done all of this while making sure that american consumers don't suffer. recruited about the same price it was in may when the president announced the withdrawal. if that's important for american consumers in the march 20 continues. >> chris: here talk about how effective these re-imposition of sanctions are but as you well know, there are some people who are criticizing the sanctions you're re-imposing and saying they're not tough enough. let me put this up on the screen. republican senators, republican senators cruz, cotten and rubio plan to introduce legislation to cut off iranian banks from the global financial network known as swift and a group called united against nuclear iran tweeted this about your sanctions. whatever happened to maximum pressure? they caved, big time. mr. secretary, your response? >> secretary pompeo: the presid

i was with secretary pompeo and -- when he traveled to saudi arabia to hear directly from the king and the crown prince on how saudi arabia would handle the investigation of jamal khashoggi's murder. we asked that the saudi leadership uncover the facts and hold accountable those responsible. so far, we have seen some positive steps. more needs to be done, including identifying the individuals responsible. we are taking strong action, including revoking visas and reviewing sanctions under the global magnitsky act. our shared strategic interests remain strong with saudi arabia. secretary pompeo said that we continue to view as achievable the twin imperatives of protecting america and holding accountable those responsible for the killing of mr. khashoggi. one of our most critical shared objectives is to impose maximum pressure on the iranian regime until it changes its malign behavior and threats. iran remains the most significant threat to individual -- to regional stability. several weeks ago, secretary pompeo outlined iran's behavior, ongoing assistance to militias who stoke conflict,

in new york, secretary pompeo had ongoing assistance to proxy militia. support for terrorist organizations and the development and proliferation of ballistic missiles and destabilized the region and threaten our partners. we also remain deeply concerned with the iranian regime's serious human rights abuses against the iranian people. they continue arbitrary arrests of individuals solely exercising their rights to fred om of expression, belief, association and peaceful assembly as well as its detention of foreigners and dual nationals. we seek international support to change the iranian bev hafior for effort and support for the iranian people and this is among the top diplomatic priorities. >> in the wake to cease participation, countries now face a choice about doing business in iran. earlier this week we completed the reimposition of the sanctions that had previously been lifted under jcpoa. most significantly we reimpose said sanctions on iranian petroleum, petroleum products and petrochemicals from iran. the sanctions that the trump administration has

secretaryeks ago, pompeo outlines iran's behavior, ongoing assistance to approximately chefs who stoke conflict, support of terrorist organizations, and threatening partners. we also remain deeply concerned with the regime's serious human rights abuses against the iranian people. these abuses include iran's continued arbitrary arrest of individuals solely for exercising their rights to freedom of expression, opinion, believe, association and peaceful assembly as well as its detention of foreigners and a dual nationals. we think our international support of efforts to change will include support for the iranian people and we want every single country on board. it is fun of the president's top diplomatic minorities. in the wake of the president decision to cease participation completedoa, we the imposition of sanctions that had previously been lifted. we put sanctions on the purchase andranian petroleum petrochemicals and other products from iran. these are the toughest sanctions ever on the iranian regime. the sanctions target the iranian enablers.d its our economic pressure is directed

>>chris: secretary mike pompeo,

i want to play something from mike pompeo.lst he was talking up on the hill talking about jamal khashoggi whilst he was talking up on the hill talking aboutjamal khashoggi and what evidence there might be. there is no direct reporting connecting the crown prince to the order murderjamal khashoggi. so it sounds to me like mike pompeo is choosing his words quite carefully, that there is no direct evidence. what has the (aa found? it is my understanding that the cia believes that the crown prince mohammed bin someone was responsible for this team's mission and was responsible for the death of khashoggi. it is my understanding further that there are specific calls that were made by the person who was running this operation to the crown prince in the days surrounding jamal khashoggi's death. it isa surrounding jamal khashoggi's death. it is a question of whether that information is available to the us. the us is willing to make it public. you have just written a long article on the inner workings of the saudi royal family and how t

instead, the president sent defense secretary jim mattis and secretary of state mike pompeo, and pompeoiting an op-ed, here's a printout, which refers to, quote, capitol hill cater walling and media pile ons and continues to say that no matter what, quote, degrading u.s.-saudi ties would be a grave mistake. went today to parrot the president's refusal to believe american intelligence community's conclusion. >> i do believe i've read every piece of intelligence that's come in, in the last few hours, i think i've read it all. there is no direct reporting connecting the crown prince to the order of the murder of jamal khashoggi. that's all i can say in an unclassified setting. >> just keep in mind here, this man recently had gina haspel's job. he was running the cia. so these are all the people who worked for him, who run intelligence for the united states, who have concluded this and he just came out and obviously said he doesn't agree. those words more than, quote, pissed off senator graham. and others, including senator rand paul. here he is moments ago on cnn. >> the cia concluded with

secretary pompeo said hopefully they'll reach some type of cease fire there. the saudi coalition is fighting iran in yemen. the united nations has called this the worst manmade humanitarian crisis of our time with 3/4s of the population in yemen needing humanitarian assistance. shep? >> shepard: thanks, rich. president trump is slamming his own federal reserve chairman for recent troubles in the economy, including market losses and lay-offs at general motors. in a rose garden ceremony, the president nominated jerome powell to be chairman of the federal reserve bank. yesterday the president told "the washington post" and i quote "so far i'm not even a little bit happy with my selection." worth noting here, the federal reserve is meant to be independent of politics and the president. while its cooperated with past presidents on shared goals, the fed doesn't need the president's permission to make policy decisions. either way, the fed chair moves markets. check out what nearly vertical jump the one that happened right there in the center of the chart around noon

. —— mike pompeo. powerful force of stability in the region. -- mike pompeo.resident trump are very supportive of the saudi arabian regime however the house and senate are not happy with the killing of jamal house and senate are not happy with the killing ofjamal khashoggi and the killing ofjamal khashoggi and the increasing disaster which is in yemen. the senate very posed now and despite that, the vote is going to the wire. even if it gets passed, donald trump has said it will veto it. what mike pompeo is saying is what many of us know, saudi arabia is the key ally, and the one the us will support against their folk, iran. the second point, boil. —— oil. we will perhaps be more gentle when it comes to human rights. the mandatory in crisis in yemen is absolute. a cup of ice. singapore to japan, a budgetairline. absolute. a cup of ice. singapore to japan, a budget airline. not good for the airline are looking at the social media comments, little sympathy for this person. if you go ona sympathy for this person. if you go on a cheap airline, what do you expect.

mr pompeo says it will be an opportunity to resume denuclearisation talks. this week in new york city, with my counterpart, kim yong—chol, we'll have a good opportunity to continue the denuclearisation discussions that were set up just a few months back — it seems like a long time ago in news world but it was just this pastjune, when president trump and chairman kim met and set us on the path that we're on today. we have not had any missile tests, there have been no nuclear tests, we have had returns of american reamins — these are all good steps. we are continuing to negotiate with the north koreans to achieve what president trump set out — the full denuclearisation verified by the united states of the korean peninsula and then a brighter future for the north korean people. and we'll have more on north korea later in the programme. also making news this hour: rallies have been held across iran denouncing sweeping us sanctions due to come into force on monday. the demonstrations have been taking place on the 39th anniversary of the occupation of the us embas

pompeo, and the secretary of defense, mr. mattis. and they talked to us about our relationship with saudi arabia for obvious reasons. hardly anyone in the world could have missed what happened over the last several weeks when a man named khashoggi went into the consulate in istanbul and never came out. we have the video that shows him entering that building. for the longest time there was a debate as to what actually happened to him, all sorts of stories were manufactured and fabricated. it turned out that the turks had access to audio recordings of what actually happened inside that consulate. they eventually made them public, released them to the governments of saudi arabia as well as to the united states. and we came to learn that mr. khashoggi, a frequent critic of the saudi royal family, was murdered. he walked into that consulate and never walked out alive. some group flew in from riad, saudi arabia, ambushed him, killed him, and as hard as it may be to believe, brought with them a bone saw so they could dismember him and take

that's what secretary pompeo would have you believe.hat if we don't blindly support the saudi civil war inside yemen then that is a win for the iranians. while the civil war has been occurring al qaeda and isis have got stronger. more numerous. the greatest that to the homeland today comes from Ãb the civil war we been helping to perpetuate is actually making our most sacred enemy even stronger inside that country. second, there has to be a line that's crossed in which our ally has gone too far that we are not willing to follow. clearly that has happened in saudi arabia as they intentionally bomb schools and Ãbjust because we stand up and say we are not willing to support you saudi arabia and your targeted bombing of civilians that does not mean equally gift to iran. second, a lot of folks seem to p believe that there is some command and control relationship during the iranians and who sees. there are weapon capabilities that have been gifted, granted to the who sees by the iranians but the who these are not has but one. this is not a g

now, secretary pompeo chose not to use the national security waiver and instead certified that saudi arabia was indeed taking urgent steps to end the civil war in yemen, to alleviate the humanitarian crisis, and to reduce risk to civilians. now, there were numerous problems with the secretary of state's certifications. number one, the secretary certified that saudi arabia was undertaking demonstrable actions to reduce the risk of harm to civilians and civilian infrastructure resulting from military operations in yemen. that was not a credible certification because we saw in the preceding months a dramatic increase in civilian casualties and deaths. number two, the secretary certified that the saudis were complying with applicable agreements and laws, regulating defense articles purchased or transferred from the united states. that also was not a credible certification because the secretary's own memorandum of justification for the section 1290 submission explicitly said the saudis were not doing so. the document was directly and explicitly self-contradictory. in summary, as a group o

mr pompeo says it will be an opportunity to resume denuclearisation talks.s week in new york city with my counterpart, kim yong—chol, will have a good opportunity to continue the denuclearisation discussions which was set up this pastjune, when president trump and kim jong—un met. they have been a missile and nuclear tests, we have had us remains in return. we will continue to achieve what president trump set up, the full denuclearisation of the korean peninsula and a brighter future for its people. and we'll have more on north korea later in the programme. also making news this hour: rallies have been held across iran denouncing sweeping us sanctions due to come into force on monday. the demonstrations have been taking place on the 39th anniversary of the occupation of the us embassy in tehran. earlier this year president trump decided to pull out of the international nuclear deal with iran. the italian authorities say that 29 people have lost their lives in fierce storms that have battered the country. in the past 2a hours, twelve people, including nine fr

they look at mike pompeo's 12 points and they say, that is a regime change policy in all that name andpointed john bolton in national security advisor and say this is really a regime change. personally i don't believe that. because of the personality of the president i think donald trump ideologically as opposed to regime change this is one of the ways in which he has distinguished himself consciously from george w. bush and sort of character logically sees himself as a great negotiator. my best guess, i don't know what better than anyone else in this room what he wants but is that trump actually wants a deal. and what will never know is to keep it in his head is what's the deal that he would accept with the irradiance. the fact that he wants a deal also if he goes back to the spectrum with the germans and the american artist of hardliners it moves it in our policy in the direction of the germans although i definitely think we are in the hardline sphere of the spectrum. but i'm not as confident as mark that this means that in the next 24 to 27 months we are going to win. he what i pers

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.

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

. >> secretary pompeo, you mentioned you're gathering all these facts. does the president's statement today mean that fact-finding segment is over? and have you seen the assessment he's expected to get today? >> i can't comment on intelligence matters. i'll direct you to the dni, or to the cia to talk about particular intelligence issues. facts will obviously still continue to come to light. i'm confident of that. it's the way the world works. >> and will you pursue further actions against whoever, even if it does show culpability? >> we have been unambiguous with respect to how we have treated the data set we have been able to get. when america has the information it needs, it will do the right thing to protect american interests. we have done so every time. >> that was secretary mike pompeo of the state department talking about the president's and the administration's statement that was released this afternoon in reaction to the killing of "washington post" journalist jamal khashoggi. the headline of that statement was that the u.s. stands with saudi a

briefing senators about the killing, mr pompeo says any further sanction against saudi arabia would justomy, that's the official line. both the government and the bank of england agree that a no deal would deliver an especially severe financial shock. lower supply capacity, weaker demand, a lower exchange rate and higher inflation. also on the programme: special prosecutor bob mueller is zeroing in on the people who surrounded the president in the final months of 2016 campaign. and the contacts they had with wikileaks.

pompeo on his article are two different things. these guys aren't trying. in fact, the secretary of state, are trying to fight iran in our territories. why don't they go to iran? why should the united states play this role of fighting iran through the saudis in yemen? we need yemen as yemen. we need the u.s. good efforts to bring peace to yemen, not to encourage the saudis to do more and more for this proxy war, fighting iran in yemen. that's my position. >> and you mentioned the article that secretary of state pompeo wrote. it was actually in "the wall street journal." yes, it was today, in fact. >> sorry. "the wall street journal." >> easy mistake to make from all the way over there in sanaa. tehran, it says -- >> sometimes, yes. >> pompeo says tehran is establishing a hezbollah-like entity on the arabian peninsula. a militant group with political power that can hold saudi hostage as hezbollah's missiles in southern lebanon threaten israel. in other words, they are viewing you as iran's hezbollah-like proxies in yemen. being a direct threat to their ally,

pompeo.nks so much. >>> a new report for the center of disease control shows life expectancy in this country has declined for the second time in the past three years. the average life expectancy last year fell to just over 78 1/2 years old. the cdc says an increase in drug overdoses and suicides in this country are to blame for this alarming trend. last year nearly 70,000 people died from drug overdoses, a 10% increase from the previous year. last year more than 47,000 suicidingssuicides up from 45,0. overall nearly 3 million people in this country died last year, that's 70,000 more deaths than in the previous year. >>> up next, facebook ceo mark zuckerberg tell congress his company doesn't sell your data. that doesn't mean they don't try or that they really don't. really, what does it all mean. we take it up after the break with cybersecurity expert morgan wrielgt. he joins u lou: internal e-mail show facebook considered profits by selling information to companies accessing your personal dat

i think we could do more of what secretary pompeo did at his speech at the reagan lot library is quote ronald reagan and channel, you know, his westminster speech, where reagan said early in his presidency, it is inevitable that marxism, leninism, and the soviet union will end up on the ash heap of history along with other tyrannies. reagan didn't have that explicit soviet regime change policy. his view was that it was inevitable that the soviet union would collapse because its ideology was bankrupt, the economy was bankrupt and it couldn't sustain its aggressive expansion as policy for decades on the back of a bankrupt economy and ideology. i think that's a very good way of looking at the islamic republic. and for those of us in washington who ultimately believe that the only answer to this question really, in the long, is a change in government, a peaceful change in government where iranians have the opportunity to vote and to have their future advance and respected by the government, we should be advancing that theory of the case. it is not regime change but it is inevitable this re

we heard secretary pompeo refer to it as poorly timed in ending u.s.abia in yemen? >> i do support the resolution. and i think it's important to point out that i think secretary pompeo has misjudged the frustration that exists in the senate of a series of actions by the saudi government. he and the other briefers made the case very well for what's happening in yemen and the importance of the united states in playing a role to try to get all the parties to the table. that's one of the things we tried to push in the legislation that senator young and i got through congress earlier this year. but it's important to understand at this point given the string of events by the saudis, the eruption with qatar, the kidnapping of prime minister hariri and the others in saudi arabia, the consistent bombing of yemen that at this point has taken the lives of 85,000 children and puts 14 million people at risk of starvation, that it's important for us to send a very strong message to the saudi government that we are not going to accept the kinds of actions that they h

a question secretary pompeo seemed to have trouble answering. >> secretary pompeo -- >> why wasn't the current cia director here briefing senators as well? >> i was asked to be here, and here i am. >> senators were frustrated. normally in your past role as cia director, you would be here briefing senators on an issue -- why isn't the cia director herself here? >> i was asked to be here, and i'm here. >> it's called a nonanswer. here's senator dick durbin on the absence of haspel, one of the only top intel officials to have heard the audiotape of khashoggi's murder. >> senator, when you were explicitly told the white house blocked gina haspel from -- >> we asked why gina haspel wasn't there and we were told that was a decision by the white house. >> the cia has a carefully worded statement that says the notion that anyone told director haspel not to attend today's briefing is false. joining us, former democratic congresswoman donna edwards, and aaron blake is still here. donna, i have not been invited to things that i was not told not to attend. it's not the same thing to say she was no

secretary pompeo had no answer when asked why she was not there. >> i was asked to be here. here i am. >> senators were frustrated. as your past role, you would be here on issues this sensitive. why isn't the cia director? >> i was asked to be here and i'm here. >> in the end, 14 annoyed republicans crossed the aisle to advance the resolution. >>> i, too, was asked to be here, and i am. nancy pelosi taking a giant step toward historic second turn as house speaker. democrats voting wednesday overwhelmingly 203-32 to support her nomination. a small group tried to derail the bid for speaker, but pelosi is focusing on the positive. >> i'm talking about scores of members of congress who just gave me a vote or are giving me a vote of confidence. that is our focus. are there dissenters? yes. i expect to have a powerful vote as we go forward. >> the make or break moment will come in january when the full house holds a final floor vote. pelosi needs to convince half of the 32 democrats who voted against her to be elected speaker. >>> jerome powell reassured investors they would not k

the woman who replaced mike pompeo.op 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 disappointed that gina haspel was not there. >> the most persuasive thing was the empty chair. the chair that should have been occupied by the head of the cia. we were told it was the direction of the white house she not attend. >> gina haspel would have said with a high degree of confidence that the crown prince of saudi arabia was involved in the murder of jamal khashoggi. >> joining me nbc news national security reporter. lindsey graham said he won't vote on key legislation until he hears from the cia about jamal khashoggi. secretary of defense mattis was there and so was mike pompeo. what happened in that meeting? >> that's right. a lot of things we he

question or secretary pompeo. -- the president invoked game of thrones when he discussed sanctions. do you think that was appropriate? administration has been consistent from the campaign to the first day he was inaugurated about our intention. we understand that the islamic republic of iran presents a threat to the united states and we are determined to stop it. i have not seen any of you comment on the response. this man has american blood on his hands. he has killed american soldiers. that is not funny. the actions that the islamic republic of iran are taking are not about little silly things that people get wrapped up here in washington, d.c. but about very serious matters that impact all of europe, the middle east and the world. you were just listening to secretary of state mike pompeo and secretary of the treasury -- and treasury secretary steve mnuchin speaking about the sanctions on iran. words, 700 entities, companies and vessels will be under sanctions. some companies will receive temporary waivers, chin
