leadership in just the past few moments iran's official news agency has been quoting present her son rouhani as saying saudi arabia would not have murdered without american protection saudi arabian crown prince is due to speak at a major investment conference in riyadh later on wednesday dozens of high profile business leaders and politicians have boycotted the summit over the kingdom's involvement and. the killing has raised ethical questions among silicon valley tech companies which have benefited from billions of dollars in saudi investment brunell's reports. in the aftermath of the killing of jamal khashoggi at the hands of saudi government agents tech companies and their executives are distancing themselves from saudi investment but how each one of them makes that decision on their own i think is probably driven very much by their own moral conscience but also their understanding that other people are looking at them in their formal leadership positions for cues about what to do right now several tech leaders have already bailed out of crown prince mohammed bin summons investment confer

since july when president trump blasted president rouhani, 750,000 metric tons of american soybeans haven headed to iran despite the tensions between the two countries. let's get even deeper into exxon. barbara underwood sued exxon mobil, alleging emails showed it had been lying to investors for years about how much climate change will affect its business. for more, let's bring in eric roston. good to see you. what were the charges? eric: the charges filed under new york state's martin act said basically securities fraud, that exxon mobil had two separate books. they had a public facing carbon price, which is an estimate of how much climate change will cost them in the long haul. but then for internal planning for investment and projects, they had a much smaller estimate of what climate change would cost. sometimes they used no number. that's what new york state alleges. alix: exxon came out and responded vigorously saying it was unfounded. we have seen these type of lawsuits over the last couple of years. why? eric: part of the reason is frustration among environmentalists and the left

i think it's going straight to the heart of getting rid of president rouhani. i really do.has become a battle cry. depending on what the subject matter is, just very angry people that are getting out and representing the democratic party, which i feel like they've left some of the other democrats by the wayside. it seems like the french part of the party has taken off. but i do believe that this kavanaugh now that they're coming out and trying to keep this relevant, they're trying to keep this in the news no matter if brett kavanaugh get the confirmation, this is going to be the next battle cry heading into the midterm to try to raise money, get out the vote, and maybe defining the democratic party's message going into the midterms. >> we are 31 days away from the midterms in the message of the news that we are hearing today isn't going to be all anybody is talking about for the next 31 days. there were a lot of things to talk about and that includes health care which is the biggest thing democrats have been advertising about across house candidates talking about economic o

but there is this enthusiasm that has been driven by opposition to president rouhani. what was so surprising was what mitch mcconnell did which wasn't so much an october surprise, but in october reveal of the true colors of him and republicans to mess with social security and medicare. so even as we saw this enthusiasm starting to come together as far as democrats and republicans, he has now given these democratic candidates across the country some really good meat in which to work with because the voters who do vote and midterms are voters who do not want social security and medicare messed with and he really stepped into it. >> harris: i'll come back to his ability in health care but i want to give you a chance to respond. >> was just look at the proof points here. in nebraska, that's where kari eastman was running on medicare for all and free college tuition. that looks like it's going to be a republican hold if you look at that's going to be republican pickup. democrats had previously invested and in california's 21st district, is another place where democrats were

but the president and how you feel about president rouhani is also playing and a lot of these races, and it will play even post brett kavanaugh the swearing-in tonight will be salt in the wounds for democrats really have had a problem with the last couple of weeks. >> harris: before i let you go because i know that you've been watching this fight is much as anybody in terms of what happens at the attorney general level and particularly, the deputy today writing on air force one with the president, your last quick words? >> 30 what is on air force one, we knew the conversation was going to happen sometime and it happened today. there will likely be more conversations to come, all indications are rosenstein has his job and the president is going to leave him in his job which means that the mueller investigation continues under his watch and we see where it goes. so for all of the talk like he was going to get fired and it was going to be the end, never materialized. >> harris: bret baier, always great to see you. st. andrews has never had it better. >> it was fun, see you. >> harris: r

the iranian government i'm talking about the segment of the state which is represented by president rouhani or the foreign secretary mr zarif they have no interest whatsoever to create this kind of controversy in the center of europe after all over the last four or five years they have been constantly saying that actually this deal this nuclear deal is the best thing that could happen to iran in in in the situation and certainly over the last eighteen months since president trump has come to power there have been desperately trying to preserve it in one way or another of course the pressure is mounting on them and the hardliners now blaming them and they say see we told you you should not trust the europeans you should not trust the americans but despite all this pressure.
