Page 176 - Mbs News Today

Point, one of the major mistakes the administration has made is they equate mbs with saudi arabia. weve had an alliance with saudi arabia for 80 years without mbs. hes only been the crown prince for the last career. they need to hold him accountab accountable. >> does it have to be one or the other? is having a tough line against mbs and saudi arabias actions essentially saying now were just throwing out the entire relationship with saudi arabia? it seems like the president seems to look at this...

Analysts listen to it. then the analysts determined that the saudi crown prince did play a and order the killing of this reporter and thats not enough to convince them it do anything harsher than sanction a few of the saudis who they believe were involved in the murder. im not sure what his logdggic . they said mbs ordered it and that has not changed the administrations mind. not mike pompeo who remarks that he doesnt believe there is direct reporting that links the two of them when that is what...

Republicans and because i respect them and know them, he said i will assume they are being good soldiers. there is no way to conclude because of the intelligence that mbs was not involved. it must be because the administration doesnt want to acknowledge this. >> yeah. remember who is saying that. lindsey graham who many moons ago was a big opponent of president trump, but in recent months and even more than that has been very close with him, even a confidant on issues both domestic and on nation...

Region, saudi arabia has represented that stability in a unified front against iran. yet, we have values and cannot tolerate such a brutal killing. >> and we also believe that the kingdom of saudi arabia, their relationship with the united states is at least equally important to them if not more important than our relationship with the kingdom. so, we could be tough in regards to saying to the crowned prince, no, you cant do what you did and expect the relationship to go unchanged. there has to ...

>> president trump also appeared to spook the markets today when he tweeted that his team is negotiating to see whether or not a real deal with china is actually possible. and that, if not, i am a tariff man. trade advisor peter navarro was quick to point out the u.s. has taken in $7 billion in tariffs and that the phrase tariff man was an owe ahmadinejahomage to president wm mckinley. >> when he was wearing on a plot form of prosperity, protection and patriotism, he said is he a tariff man stan...

It very difficult to be able to do business, because i think he is crazy. >> he called him crazy, said he is dangerous and puts the u.s.-saudi relationship at risk. you may also recall last week the national security advisor, john bolton, said he didnt listen to the audio recording. he made the comment that he didnt understand arabic, so what difference would it make if you were to listen to that was to mark or if it were in korean. he didnt exactly say those words, but that was the general idea...

Capitol hill. >> shep, good afternoon. its worth noting that typically senator lindsey graham is a close ally of the white house these days. but on this issue, he has a strong difference of opinion blasting the saudis. >> mbs, the crown prince, is a wrecking ball. complicit in the murder of mr. khaishoggi to the highest level possible. i think the behavior before the khaishoggi murder was beyond disturbing and i cannot see him being a reliable partner to the united states. >> retiring senator bo...

Convincing. >> harris: so, lets get to the point -- what action can congress take? because it seems like -- and i dont think the american people are wrong about this when you ask them in surveys and polls -- that they dont feel like enough gets done on capitol hill. i see bipartisan support to do something. what should it be? >> welcome of the senate, as you know, has already expressed itself. i think they ought to be sanctioned. i think we ought to make it very clear that the crown prince is no...

Not to come to the conclusion that this was orchestrated and organized by people under the command of mbs and that he was involved in the demise of mr. khaishoggi. >> involved in the demise. we also heard from this man, outsenater bob corker said it would take 30 minutes in a courtroom to convict the prince, the day-to-day ruler of the country. last week lawmakers criticized gina haspel for not appearing with mike pompeo and james maam tis. a cia spacexman said she had already briefed congressio...

Jamal khashoggi, "the washington post" columnist. he died inside the saudi consulate in turkey. now some lawmakers are saying the crown prince of saudi arabia is "complicit" in that journalists death. here is republican senator lindsey graham, from moments ago. >> there is not a smoking gun, there is a smoking saw. you have to be willfully blind not to come to the conclusion that this was orchestrated and organized by people under the command of mbs, and that he was intricately involved in the d...
