It was a day of presidential pardons. just moments before his annual white house turkey pardons, he actually did two of them. never mind that the cia determined the crown prince, mbs ordered the execution. that is what they find with high confidence. how did the president take it today? he said well, maybe he did, maybe he didnt. and besides it is about money not morals. >> saudi arabia, if we broke with them, your oil prices would go beyond the roof. i am not going to destroy the world competen...

Folked on this, bob corker yesterday along with paul menendez, they demanded the administration make a determination to determine whether or not sanctions should be levied against the crown prince, mbs. if it doesnt, then congress may move forward with something else. there will be pressure from the hill from certain quarters, but also silence, too. we have not heard from mitch mcconnell, the senate majority leader, havent heard from house speaker paul ryan. the president in a lot of ways is kee...

Terrorist, which have been peddled by saudi arabia and its allies. it was a stunning statement. >> a stunning statement but you can see in the statement some of the ways the white house got to this conclusion that president trump reached this conclusion. with crown prince mohammed bin salman, they had basically put all their eggs in that basket. they were counting on him to fix a lot of problems throughout the middle east. they also invested a certain amount of personal prestige in this relation...

Vladimir putin, iran, syria, and china? >> i will be honest with you, sean. there is no way no way saudi arabia is ever going to align with our own, they mortal enemies. >> sean: i got it. >> the bottom line is, i care about the strategic relationship. im going to support israel completely but im not going to turn my back on this guy. weve got at historic opportunity to tell the people in the mid east there is a new sheriff in town. if you disrespect us then you trample over civilized norms your...

Some conditions that will govern your behavior in the future, we have to be specific, accountability, full disclosure, reestablishing trust, toleration policy for critics and that would enable us to push forward moral clarity and at the same time the relationship. however, we would have to condemn the saudi regime publicly. we are condemning the crime but we havent condemned the regime because it is difficult to accept the implausible theory the mbs was not involved or the crown prince but just ...

Including senator lindsey graham telling sean hannity that the saudi regime needs to be put on notice. >> saudi arabia needs us more than we need them. its not too much to ask an ally not to butcher a guy in a consulate. i wont look away. we have a historic opportunity to tell the people in the mideast there is a new sheriff in town. if you disrespect us and trample over civilized norms you pay a price. if you want to keep mbs thats your decision, saudi arabia. >> sandra: good morning, garrett. ...

Into and it should be. when we come back also tonight later on in the program, we will have senator lindsey graham joining us. he will weigh in on all of us. and now we turn to the situation with saudi arabias crown princ prince. pay close attention, this will be very hard for the liberals in the media to pay attention to. i want them to pay close attention. the murder of the saudi journalist, jamal khashoggi, was reprehensible. that is evil. i have little doubt that this evil act was carried ou...

Saudis are now perfectly aligned against iranian hegemony and the threats of them getting a nuclear weapon with their radical ideology of wanting to destroy the world and america and israel. i agree with you about sanctions, i believe there should be a punishment, but i also agree with the president, there should not be ending the relationship. >> everything you said is true about the strategic nature of the relationship, but heres what i believe. saudi arabia needs as more than we need them. it...
