thank you for joining us. wolf starts right now. >>> hello. i'm wolf blitzer. it's 1:00 p.m. in washington. thank you for joining us. we begin with a very high stakes mystery of the missing journalist. starting to unravel. we're now learning of a stunning shift from saudi arabia. sources telling cnn, the country is now willing to admit that the washington post contributor jamal khashoggi was killed inside the saudi consulate in turkey, framing it as an interrogation gone wrong. the big question now, how will president trump respond? one senior adviser tells cnn how president trump handles the saudi crisis may be the most consequence s consequential decision of his presidency. and now a demand for a strong response to the saudis. >> i've been their biggest defender on the floor of the senate. this guy is a wrecking ball. he had this guy murdered in a consulate in turkey. to expect me to ignore it, i feel used and abused. i defended saudi arabia because they're a good ally. there's a difference between a country and individual. the mbs is toxic. >> this would blow apart the midd

brian, give us an update. >> reporter: right, wolf. have been able to confirm there's been one death now reported here in mexico beach, one death at least here, but that brings the death toll to 17 people overall killed in hurricane michael. we will now take you to some video from the air of a drone we have just kind of flying over area where i'm standing, and it can show you kind of a wide shot of some of the areas. we have a search and rescue team that has just returned to a staging area a few yards away from me. they're going house to house, busting down doors, climbing through windows, trying to find survivors. they're using specialized equipment. they're using cadaver dogs. they're using what they called live-find dogs, which is specially trained to smell out survivors underneath the rubble. they're just deploying every possible resource that they can. they are not finished yet. they can to this at least until darkness here, wolf, which is what they're going to be doing. they've been here since yesterday and they're just doing exh

us. >> thanks, wolf. >> tell us more.ive us the headlines, the details of what you and your colleagues have discovered. >> what we reported was that in the spring of 2016 just as donald trump was emerging out of the pry mere fight and looking towards the general election, rick gates, who at the time was a senior trump campaign official, sought proposals from an israeli firm staffed by former intelligence operatives to do digital manipulation, fake online identities, gather information about hillary clinton and her top aides. some of this is very familiar to people because it is the same type of stuff we know the russians ended up doing, creating online identities, pushing fake stories, et cetera. our information is that gates had conversations about enlisting an israeli firm to do this work. >> was there any collaboration, coordination with the russians as far as this is concerned? >> no, there's no evidence or we don't report any connection between the israeli firm and the russians. but we do say that even though the tru

senator, thank you so much for joining us. >> wolf, good to be with you. thank you. >> do you trust the fbi to do a thorough job this week? >> well, i trust the fbi. i hope they have the latitude, the time, in order to get the job done right. they need to interview all witnesses that know anything about what happened in regards to the three allegations that have been made. to be able to give a thorough report to the president and to the congress. so i trust the fbi's professionalism, but i'm worried that they may not have the time or they may be under certain restrictions that would not allow them to do a thorough job. >> the majority leader, mitch mcconnell, says the senate will vote this week, final vote on confirmation. your reaction. >> i think senator mcconnell has handled this issue wrong from the beginning. the process that he's used. the fact that we had a vote in the judiciary committee before the investigation was done by the fbi. the fact that he's already told us we're going to be voting this week when we don't have the fbi report back. we don'

us. jim, what is the latest? >> reporter: wolf, the trump administration is scrambling to figure out how to contain the fallout of the apparent killing of saudi journalist, jamal khashoggi. secretary of state mike pompeo had what a spokesperson called a direct and candid conversation with the saudis earlier today about khashoggi. president trump says the saudi crown prince has, quote, totally denied any knowledge of what happened to khashoggi, as he injected and we saw this earlier today, some bright, shiny objects into the news cycle that maybe aimed at distracting the public from what's on down in turkey, but that can be summed up in one word. and that is horse face. secretary of state mike pompeo appeared to be all smiles as he met with saudi arabia's crown prince, muhammad bin salman. just as grim details were surfacing in the apparent murder of journalist jamal khashoggi, who was dismembered by his killers. president trump tweeted he discussed the investigation, saying the crown prince denied any knowledge of what took place

he said yes, he has an open mind and waiting to see what the result is just like the rest of us. wolf? >> it started off as a lengthy statement on the trade agreement first with mexico and now with canada. it quickly became an extended q&a with the president in the rose garden involving the confirmation process of judge kavanaugh. i don't know if the president wanted to go down that road, but he took a bunch of questions from you and your colleagues. >> that's right, wolf. initially he would not take the questions on brett kavanaugh. he wanted to stay focus on the trade deal which is big news, but so is brett kavanaugh. that's a big question about whether or not -- this is also about senate republicans and senate majority letter mitch mcconnell in particular. we saw the frustration play out in the president's answers saying he believes bru has been treated unfairly as well as his wife and children throughout this process. he did seem to contradict himself because he said he wants a full and complete investigation and wants to know whether or not there is validity to the allegations an

wolf. >> very interested. fred pleitgen, a good report. thank you so much, a democrat joining us serves on the judiciary and armed services committee. senator, thanks so much for joining us. first, is there anything you can think president trump could accomplish through yet another meeting with vladimir putin in the middle of next month? >> i think it's very problematic what he can accomplish, pretty much he is very much on the page with putin and his announcement that we're going to withdraw from the imf is yet another in my view gift to putin. because i think putin would like that to happen so that we can be unfettered in his aggression. >> not only is the u.s. pulling out of this nuclear arms treaty that's been around for 30-plus years, but president trump is also promising to build up the nuclear u.s. arsenal so what are the potential consequence fws this new arms race escalates? >> this is yet another example of how president trump makes these kind of announcements without consulting certainly with congress and definitely with our allies. so our allies both in europe and asi

wolf blitzer. thanks for joining us. we start with major political news. the final sprint right now to the mid-term elections. we are just 15 days away and president trump is moving full steam ahead holding rallies across the country. four stops this week as he fights for republicans to hold control of congress. he is squaring off against former president obama and both parties of sending out their strongest politicians. these rallies are all being held alone. let's check in with the national political reporter joining us from iowa right now where kamala harris of california is stumping for democrats. what can you tell us? >> reporter: so this is a fascinating first visit for kamala harris. one of her first auditions. she looks at the 2020 race and whether she will run. she is here in iowa campaigning for down ballot candidates including a tight race here in the tight congressional district. that's pumping up millennials and early voting is under way in iowa and the students here are excited to see her, but also about the mid-terms. there is just an electr

wolf? >> great concern indeed. miguel, thank you. miguel marquez. cnn's brian todd is also in mexico beach for us. brian, search and rescue efforts, i take it, they are continuing there tonight. >> reporter: they are, wolf. a short time ago, i spoke to a leader of the south florida urban search and rescue team. they are deploying basically as we speak to try to find survivors, try to find people who may be trapped. they're using cadaver dogs, using what they call live find dogs to try to find survivors. and they're combing through this area. they have had to use specialized equipment, wolf, to extricate at least one person. they have otherwise had to rescue 15 other people who otherwise couldn't get out on their own. this is the kind of stuff they're going through. this is a bathtub that was torn off and jettisoned. and yet something like this survives. a bottle of white wine. over here, i can show you a washing machine that was completely jettisoned from a house here. the entire unit jettisoned along with its hoses and its wall attachment and the wall. imagine how heavy that was to be swept away.

wolf. >> jim acost cost acosta reporte white house. congressman, thank you for joining us>> my pleasure, wolf. >> as you know, one turkish official told cnn it was a premeditated murder. "the new york times" reported that the perpetrators actually brought a bone saw into the consulate to cut up and dispose of the body. so why are the saudis now suggesting that they're going to be releasing a report saying this was an interrogation that simply went horribly wrong? >> well, first of all obviously our hearts go out to mr. khashoggi and his family and his fiance for this terrible tragedy. obviously the answer to that question is this is all the beginning of both a coverup and separating the crown prince from the action because the blowback has been profound. i think the saudis and the crown prince grossly underestimated the kind of international program thprogr progrom that followed this action. after almost two weeks, the saudis are admitting what the turks and u.s. intelligence certainly knew, which was that mr. khashoggi never left the consulate after entering it and was mu

us? gov. wolf: first of all, i think we need to invest in education. one of the things i ran on and followed through on is a funding in education. i think that is really important. i know you cannot throw money at any problem and expect to get to a good place, but you can put money into education. the first thing is to make sure we are investing in education, and we will continue to do that. we also have to make sure schools are places of safety, you can come to school and understand and have confidence that you will not be bullied, that you will be accepted for who you are, and the things you stand for. of all the places in our institutions, they should be hallowed grounds for people who want to express differences and debate. i think that is really important, so that is a great question. i am committed to making sure we do in harrisburg at the state level everything we can to protect your rights as a student, but your ability to go to schools that regardless of the zip code give you a good education. [applause] >> thank you. our third question, from

>> well, wolf, that's an interesting question. you look at -- you show us those photos, and it's very clear that this individual thought he was part of a larger cause. right? and i think that is -- that is a sign of potentially times to come. i mean, it's very troubling. he clearly thought he was part of something. right? he took his individual beliefs and thought that he was doing something for the greater good. which is troubling. and it's a signal to law enforcement. they need to be aware and on the lookout for individuals like this. >> all right. everybody stand by. there's a lot more information coming in right now. this is a fast-moving story. we'll take a quick break. we'll be right back. every tv doctor knows nothing's more important than a good bedside manner. i don't know how to say this. it's okay, doc. give it to me straight. no, you don't understand, i don't know how to say this. i'm just a tv doctor. they also know you should get your annual check-up. it could save your life. schedule a check-up with your doctor, know your four health numbers,

us. what's it like there? >> reporter: well, wolfe rain, that consistent rain, has moved on from this part of florida, just enough time before dusk for us to see the damage the western edge of hurricane michael caused here in florida. this is the bay and you can see it is churning. we're told that the water is now 4 to 5 feet higher than it typically is at this time of day. and let me give you a look at what some of the damage it's doing. this is dewey's seafood restaurant here. and you look through, you can see the water has plucked the boards from inside this restaurant. this won't be in service for a couple of days, we're told, although management here, some of the workers, are optimistic, they will be able to get this up and running again. let me take you back over here. you see this boat actually was on a lift. it wasn't even in the water at the start of the day. down on this dock. we're told that the water rose so high that it lifted the boat off of the lift on this dock and slammed over into this deck. if you see across the ba

listening to your broadcast, wolf, this takes us to a whole new chapter in terrorism, right? your last reporter said well, this appears to be domestic terroris talk about terrorism, e have always talked about it in the international context. even domestic terrorism was committed domestically but normally had an international component, right? this is a different definition of terrorism. this is political terrorism. this would be, if it turns out, political terrorism, left or right, democrat or republican, but this takes us to a new chapter, and frankly, in some ways, a more frightening chapter. because it is internal to the united states. what it's saying is we have gotten so vitriolic, so angry, so hate filled, that our politics has actually gotten to the point where we're looking to harm one another. now, the bomb that we're talking about seemed to be aimed at people on the quote unquote left. my office received a package which turns out to be the exact opposite. it was a person who was irate at the right. the republicans in new york invited a group called the proud boys la

complaint is chock-full of so much color and how they wanted to use stereotypes actually to target and exploit the divisions, including this, wolf. if you write posts in a liberal group, you must not use breitbart titles. in a conservative group, do not use "washington post" or buzzfeed titles. former senator john mccain is an old geezer. brand congressman paul ryan, a complete and absolute nobody, incapable of any decisiveness. special counsel, robert mueller, a puppet. accusing even cnn of yet another lie and exposing senator marco rubio as a fake conservative. so just a remarkable level of planning, i think is what you're seeing here. >> and at the same time, in a separate document, the director of national intelligence released a joint statement on behalf of the office of the director of national intelligence, department of justice, the fbi, the department of homeland security. noting that they were very aggressive right now. russia and others. in going after the u.s. elections. >> right. according to these court papers, this is a $35 million operation, and spans from 2016 to the present day. and it includes activity not onl

update us. >> reporter: yeah, wolf.he power of the center of this storm as it passed just to the east of panama city beach, sparing some of the worst damage, luckily for this area, but not so much for areas to the east as you just saw. but the center of that storm, the roar in the video, palm trees, everything was shaking and blowing around. all of that flying debris crepted a huge hazard. we were able to take shelter safely, but then the big concern turned to recovery and getting to the areas impacted. we saw what looked like a war zone as we were exiting the area. there were trees down, debris everywhere, and some of the residents that were coming out of their homes, the people that stayed, didn't even recognize their own neighborhoods. >> give us some perspective, ben, because you have been in the middle of hurricanes and tornados. give us some perspective on what you saw today. >> reporter: wolf, the hurricane is just a much larger machine than a tornado. all of the heat that the ocean provides, the energy, makes it

wolf? >> jim acosta reporting for us. thank you very much. joining us now, congressman mike doyle of pennsylvania, whose district includes that pittsburgh area where the synagogue is located. congressman, our hearts go out to all of your entire community there, and all of the people impacted. first of all, how is the community holding up right now? >> wolf, thank you for that. and i can tell you that squirrel hill and the pittsburgh community is a very resilient bunch. this is a great neighborhood in pittsburgh, where people of all races, all religions, live together and something like this is just unimaginable. but they're strong, good-hearted people. and when something like this happens, they come together and they support one another. and the entire pittsburgh community has been supportive. we had a vigil last night that over 5,000 people that you couldn't fit them all in the soldiers and sailors hall where it was. and we heard not only from the three rabbis who were directly -- their congregations directly affected, but by people from eve

us live with an exclusive report from beijing. matt, what did you find out? >> reporter: well, wolfsically this trip is all about myanmar's government trying to change the narrative that's been accepted by the international community that you just laid out. so they invited us in, we listened to what they had to say, we judge it on its merits and we make a conclusion. here's our story. these people are rohingya muslims. some of those who fled from what the u.n. calls a genocide. myanmar's government wants you to believe it never happened. >> we are afraid our life. >> reporter: to meet these people, it took several days and a rickety boat ride to get to this part of the state in remote western myanmar. so, foreigners aren't allowed in this part. the only way we're here is on a government escort. we're only taken where authorities want us to go. our first stop, a village where there used to be more than 600,000 rohingya. the government says their forces did respond to terror attacks by rohingya extremists in 2017, but that the down their own houses. so, this is what's left of the rohi

us what you're learning. what's it like right now? >> reporter: wolf, about nine hours on since this massacre at the tree of life synagogue and every hour, we're getting a fuller picture of the attack that happened this morning and a clearer picture of the man who investigators say killed 11 people and wounded 6 others. first, let me tell you that local, state and federal authorities are here. the fbi is leading this investigation and it has the footprints one would expect from a mass killing of this size. the attorney general said today that there will be hate crime charges filed as part of this and investigators will not have to look far for that evidence. we start the timeline at 9:49 this morning, minutes before the first 9-1-1 calls came in and a social media post according to law enforcement sources to cnn, this man, 46-year-old robert bowers posted online, a reference to a jewish support group and then blamed members for bringing in who he called invaders who he said were killing his people and then wrote, quote, screw your optics, i'm going in.

us. >> reporter: that's right, wolf. it was a wide-ranging back and forth with reporters in the oval office. i was in there and asked the president about this label he's given himself in the last couple of days, calling himself a nationalist at that rally down in houston last night and then earlier today here at the white house, the president defended giving himself that label. but he denied there were any racial overtones to it. here's what he had to say. mr. president, just to follow up on your comments about being a nationalist, there is a concern that you are sending coded language or a dog whistle to some americans out there that what you really mean is that you're a white nationalist. >> i've never even heard that. i cannot imagine that. i'm a nationalist. i never heard that theory about being a nationalist. i've heard them all. but i'm somebody that loves our country. i'm proud of our country. and i am a nationalist. it's a word that hasn't been used too much. some people use it. but i'm very proud. i think it sho

wolf? >> very excellent law enforcement going on. walk us through the process that led law enforcement to cesar sayoc who has a pretty significant criminal background. >> he does. it goes back to at least 2002. when this process all started, we have been talking about it for a couple of days. the key was -- we had 10 device. that's the key. 10 of the devices, unless you are in a high end scientific lab, it's almost impossible not to leave something behind. we always say in law enforcement, when you enter a room and you commit a crime, you always leave something behind. in this case it was dna and possible fingerprints. in this case he worked at auto zone. were the parts coming from auto zone or out of his work area? this is going to be the real investigation that starts now. we were in the manhunt phase. now we are in the investigative phase. they have to put together evidence to complete the prosecution. that's what we are doing. >> do we have information on whether he acted alone or there were other accomplices? evan is work his sources. h

wolf. the white house hasn't told us where they are going next. but we did hear president trump say he wanted to go to a hospital and visit the first responders and some of the police officers. wolf, we know there were several police officers who were shot on saturday. officers who came and responded to this call and entered into this building, even though there was still an active shooter inside. the police chief was actually over here earlier speaking with some people, speaking with some of the people who had come to pay their respects. and he said he really wanted to get all of his officers out of the hospital. that was something that was really important to him as the community was dealing with the aftermath of this tragedy. and that is certainly something we have seen the president do several times, as well, when he's visited tragedies like this. wolf, a lot of this is going to be a big empathy test for the president. it's something he has struggled with throughout his presidency. it makes you think of the time at the parkland shooting when he

wolf. >> jim acosta reporting for us. thank you. >>> let's go to turkey.ur chief correspondent clarissa ward is joining us. you have breaking details on the khashoggi investigation. you're learning new information. share with our viewers. >> reporter: that's right, wolf. this is very important because we're hearing again and again from the saudi crown prince through secretary of state mike pompeo that they knew nothing about this operation, but new information coming in to cnn, peter bergen, elise labott, tim lister, learning more about the man who reportedly organized this botched operation. guess what? he is known to be close to mohamad bin salman's inner circle, a former military officer now working in general intelligence. we are hearing he was operating outside the usual chain of command and that he attempted to orchestrate some kind of a coverup afterwards to prevent people back in saudi arabia and of course the king and counsel prince themselves from finding out about this. but certainly, wolf, it is fair to say that this raises some real questions.

take us through that. >> reporter: that's right, wolf. the president answering questions on his way down to florida and georgia to take a look at the storm damage down there. he did tell reporters he spoke with the saudi king, king solomon about the disappearance of jamal khashoggi. the president appears to be accepting the conclusion coming from the saudi government that they are not responsible for the disappearance or death of the "washington post" columnist. the president at one point told reporters that from what he is hearing at this point, it may have been what he called rogue killer who is killed jamal khashoggi. here's what the president had to say. >> i just spoke with the king of saudi arabia who denies any knowledge of what took place with regard to as he said his saudi arabian citizen. it sounded to me like maybe these could have been rogue killers. who knows. we are going to try getting to the bottom of it very soon. his was a flat denial. >> of course, wolf, this comment from the president raises all sorts of questions and
