Weve got to get to the facts. this is where the president is the one with the leverage over the saudis we have this long-term relationship and we are long-term allies. i think the president needs to be. neil: but would you sacrifice that and the saudi prince was this new wave and i dont know what new wave means but revolutionary but be that as it may he was greeted with open arms and a lot of business tied were planning on meeting for an investment initiative conference and a lot of big us entit...

Limits into who can be interviewed or what the parameters are going to be come from the white house. and its one reason why november is so extremely important, right? i mean, on the one hand, the senate doesnt have a role in chosing the next attorney general. on the other hand, if the democrats have a better than expected showing in the senate, it will give them a lot more leverage to demand that the next attorney general is not just somebody who is going to rubber stamp whatever trump wants to ...

The world. how unusual did you find it when this new president chose as his first overseas stop, saudi arabia? >> you know, there was -- that was surprising, but i was willing to accept that there is an argument for trying to rebuild the relations with saudi arabia that had been, you know, badly hurt by the obama years. but the problem was instead of using that relationship to try to gain leverage over saudi arabia and get saudi arabia to pull out of yemen, for example, to behave more responsibl...
