"the washington post" ran every single cartoon that mr. block chose to draw after that. he had a lot of power at the post as a cartoonist. we can see that mr. block's art style has evolved from the midwestern pen and ink drawing to a very loose drawing style. he uses a lot of graphite, a lot of ink brush. he is using a stippled board, so it really grabs the pencil and gives it a nice texture. he used whiteout both as a way to control his mistakes, but also to enhance his image. so for example, on this canoe being guided by president kennedy, he has got budget written in whiteout on top of the ink and pencil so that it stands out in his cartoon. kennedy was hard for most cartoonists to draw. he was a handsome looking fellow. even as late as 1962, they really had not found, like, big ears or a big nose or something that stood out to make him look funny. so he kind of looks generically handsome for his entire administration. that doesn't mean mr. block didn't find fault to pick with him. this particular cartoon is about the kennedy administration's desire to implement tax cu

to know if his presidential daily brief or pdb included the signal intelligence reported by "the washington post" that suggests that u.s. intelligence officials knew about the saudi leader's desire to detain "the washington post" columnist. if the president didn't know, how high up did the intel go? did the dni know, the director of the cia? in a normal white house, aides would still feel the image of donald trump flicking paper towels at the victims of hurricane maria would require that he visit the d.c. headquarters of fema on a day like today to show him as attentive and in touch with the pain and suffering of the people of florida. in a normal white house, they would have bob corker and bob menendez down to the white house to discuss their concerns about saudi arabia, especially their calls for sanctions for one of the president's closest allies. in a normal white house, the president's national security team might just want to start a list of all of jared kushner's contacts with the young crown prince of saudi arabia. out of concern that the optics alone of the two young men huddled closely

and john, for "the washington post" and host of wnyc radio's america on the line there. both msnbc contributors. and ned, your reaction to this latest reporting from "the washington post" saying american intelligence intercepts have captured saudi officials discussing a plan to detain khashoggi. >> in some ways, lawrence, this underscores our worst fear. in the intelligence community there's something known as intelligence community directive 191. and it requires that the intelligence community provides as you said a duty to warn to both u.s. citizens and non-u.s. citizens alike in three scenarios. in the threat of murder, bodily harm, and in the threat of yes, kidnapping. so the fact that jamal khashoggi entered the saudi consulate in istanbul, turkey, seemingly unafraid and unconcerned with his own safety suggests that did not happen. i can tell you when i was at cia that was pretty automatic, this provision of to warn of potential victims of such crimes. in this case if that did not happen it raises profound questions. and i think a lot of those questions center on thi

washington. the crack political team over at the "washington post" uncovered a brand new species of fake news youd to know about: originary left wingones. -- wing mobs. they cast the trump resistant movement as an angry mob. the "washington post" wants you to know these mobs are not real. they are an illusion. that may surprise you. you may have seen videos of prominent republicans being chased out of restaurants by progressives and read how a republican congressman was shot with a rifle by a bernie sanders supporter. and college campuses descend into rioting because conservatives showed up to talk. and groups of hysterical young people why would at lawmakers. all of this may have given you the mistaken impression there is a threat of disorder and lawlessness from the left building in this country. some funded by a man the "washington post" describes as a philanth philanthropist. this is racism. it's designed says the post for the benefit of white voters particularly men. the angry mobs you thought you were watching on television are merely a hallucination concocted by fox news. you can wake up n

when the ends of the consulate according to the post this was meticulously planned. yeah in the washington post here's the explosive allegation cover of the washington post they say that u.s. intelligence picked up some sort of communication within the saudi arabian government that said that they were basically going to lie in wait for it because they said they were going to try to lure him back to the kingdom it was unclear if that was to arrest him or to interrogate him or to kill him but that they had been openly talking about trying to get their hands on him another part of the new york times story i want to mention they are saying again just one source is saying that it's possible that the turkish intelligence service has video of him being killed and that that was done to be able to send back to saudi were rabia is proof that the job had been done so this is obviously a very fast moving story again the washington post saying that the u.s. intelligence community picked up communication that they were going to try and lure him back to the kingdom it's not at all clear if the u.s. intel

. >> president trump: i was in the headline of "the washington post," my name associated with this crazy bomber. trump bomber or something, but i was in the headline when they got him. he didn't say bomber found, they talked about trump in the headline. they didn't do that with bernie sanders when he had -- they didn't do that with the democrats want other people came out. they didn't do that with president obama with the church, the horrible situation with the church. they didn't do that. they put my name in the headlines. when i say enemy of the people, i'm talking about the fake news, and it is fake. my thing is my people understan understand. a reporter for "the washington post" doesn't story -- an arena i was at was empty and he shows a picture, not a very good crowd, something to that effect and then it turned out that he took the picture five hours before the people started coming into the arena. the arena was packed and there were thousands of people outside. they had to retracted. but this is the kind of

or one of the friends has given a statement outside the office of the washington post where the journalist was a regular contributor hallett's a forward he wants the white house to demand answers from the saudi government. never want to overthrow the. opposition just want some people. and for that reason i think this is. republicans and. something because. because of america. he said that last week. couple of months so i think it's about time for him. well people have been protesting outside outside the saudi embassy in london and his international anger at this appearance grows let's go live to alan fischer who is at another protest in washington d.c. first of all and let me just put that question to you that we heard a phrase by khaled safari a friend of hug he once said the white house to demand answers from the saudi government are we getting any indication that that is indeed what the white house is doing. but i think it's fair to say there's a frustration with the u.s. government that they don't seem publicly at least to be pushing the saudis a lot harder on what happened pretty jama

lobbyists who else is the story really shine the spotlight on well there is one more name from the washington post itself david ignatius the paper's long time foreign affairs columnist critics have taken issue with his pro saudi stance this two thousand and seventeen op ed about the crown prince is a prime example although he was hardly the only person to write such pieces the new york times is thomas friedman is in the same camp and while he attempted a week mia culpa about the news of disappearance i'm not sure many people are buying it it's important to know that this isn't just american journalists being called out for their prose saudi writing in britain the daily telegraph defense editor kong kauffman has written a couple of articles echoing the saudi line about the show she's disappearance one political commentator took kaufman's writing apart not just this piece but other articles to. accusing him of churning out saudi propaganda often deleted his twitter account soon after and neither he nor his paper have responded to the allegations a lot of fallout continues from the case let's move to

and for the president it is about to get personal after fiance wrote this opinion piece in the washington post urging action the president said he'll meet her at the white house soon this was a day that saw the president speak out small public protests in washington d.c. in new york that drew a lot of media attention and angry senators demanding action all signs that for saudi arabia this is not going to go away any time soon patty calling al-jazeera washington. let's bring in our guests joining us from washington is sana chaps he's the director of the turkish research program with the washington institute for near east policy here with me in the studio is abraham he's an associate professor of conflict resolution at the doha institute and finally in washington d.c. is that he's the director of the gulf affairs institute and a former political prisoner of saudi arabia welcome to you all i'd like to start with let's get into this senate investigation that's been announced what is that and does it have any clout. well i think where it is heading is that in turkey the government that is the secur

noon on the west coast. 3:00 in washington where the treasury secretary steve mnuchin is pulling out of a summit in saudi arabia more than two weeks after the apparent murder of a "washington post" contributor inside a saudi consulate. secretary of state mike pompeo just back from a meeting with saudi royalty telling president trump to give the saudis more time to investigate themselves. while surveillance video reportedly shows a saudi with ties to the crown prince at the consulate the day the writer disappeared. now "the washington post" publishing jamal khaishoggi's final column, including his chilling warning about arab governments silencing the media. let's get to it. >> first from the fox news deck this thursday afternoon, president trump's treasury secretary steve mnuchin says he will skip an investment conference in saudi arabia and this move appears to be the trump administration's first rebuke of the kingdom after the apparent murder of "washington post" columnist jamal khaishoggi. inside a saudi consulate. secretary mnuchin said he made the decision after meeting with president run the and mike pompeo. pompeo met with saudi leaders this week. today he said he told th

our colleague, a part-time columnist there at the "washington post." of a controversy that has pitted the president against the more humanitarian-minded foreign policy experts in the house and the senate who want to see this administration exert some kind of pressure, some kind of punishment. mr. trump is trying to avoid that. and he may be primarily advised by his own experience with the saudis as having a number of private business relationships. that was his first big overseas trip when he became president. he's always had a close relationship with the regime and trying to make it closer. and it raises a lot of serious questions about how he really feels not just about the saudi regime but also how he feels about the whole issue of human rights in our foreign policy. >> so congressman, you've got the russia thing going on in the background. it's a constant in the trump presidency. you've got the kavanaugh matter, seen as a total through the uprights victory for the white house at least. then along comes this saudi matter, truly out of nowhere. how bi

as we heard jamal khashoggi is a contributing writer for the washington post let's bring in gabriel elizondo in washington now for us any reaction at all to the case of this missing saudi journalist from the u.s. state department. as soon as we heard these reports late saturday that these reports that he could have been killed at the hands of the saudis this is the reports we immediately reached out to the state department and done so several times both late saturday and into early sunday as well if the state department or the u.s. government knows anything they're not telling us they're keeping very close to lips on and we asked them specifically to respond and they said quote we are not in a position to confirm these reports but we are closely following the situation in quote that is all the reaction we're getting from the state department so far but make no mistake that the saudi government the u.s. government have very close relations right now so there is nothing preventing the different security apparatuses or governments from talking to each other that's for sure and he was very well

president on trump cast some doubt on sandy's explanations of change several times speaking to the washington post the us president said obviously there's been this section and lies public all hain reports in washington d.c. . since the story first broke the jamal khashoggi had disappeared u.s. president had been fairly consistent sending the message that he didn't want to punish saudi arabia severely if it in fact turned out that they were involved but we are seeing the first signs that that might be changing in a late night interview with the washington post president donald trump said about this quote obviously there's been deceptions and there's been wise he was asked if it's possible that the saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon could be involved and to that he said nobody has told me he's responsible nobody has told me he's not responsible we haven't reached that point i haven't heard either way now this comes after days of relentless pounding from critics and people within his own party that are demanding that president trump do more. trying to campaign on the west coast u.s. president d

"the washington post" reported this morning that the u.s. and saudi governments are searching for quote/unquote mutually agreement explanation. that's another way of saying cover-up story which is another way of saying a lie. the saudi government based on it own behavior and statements in the last two weeks doesn't have any credibility. that's why the idea they would be able to investigate themselves is laughable on its face. i'm also skeptical of the confidence that the turkish investigation, the other investigation that secretary of state pompeo mentioned, can get to the bottom of the problem either because as we have also reported, the turks and saudis are engaged in a negotiation over concessions that the saudis might give to ankara in order to bury some of this most damaging evidence. what does that lead to? "the washington post" editorial board has called publicly for an international independent investigation. that seems to me to be the only real hope of finding out exactly what happened to jamal in a way that we can have all confiden

"the washington post" reports that 700,000 families were picked up from the department of homeland security. families made up 4% of the total border patrol arrests. total number about 400,000 is up from the same time last year, but nowhere near the peak of the early 2000s. this follows the preside

this is "the washington post" reports that the turkish government has tapes of the killing of "the washington post" columnist. from the paper, quote, the turkish government has told u.s. officials that it has audio and video recordings that prove "washington post" columnist jamal khashoggi was killed inside the saudi consulate in istanbul this month. that's according to u.s. and turkish officials. the audio recording in particular provides some of the most persuasive and gruesome evidence that the saudi team is responsible for khashoggi's death. but turkish officials are wary of releasing the recordings fearing they could divulge how the turks spy on foreign entities in their country. those officials said. and while members of congress propose sanctions in blocking weapons sales to the kingdom, donald trump stays focused on the bottom line. >> well, we have -- it's not our country. it's in turkey, and it's not a citizen, as i understand it. but a thing like that shouldn't happen. it is a reporter with "the washington post." and it's something like that should not be allowed to happen. i don't
