Economics, not necessarily american ideals. i was in the oval office when we interviewed him a few days after this happened, and he spoke to king salman who said rogue killers may have been part of this and the president parroted that. his first foreign trip as president, riyadh. he felt that they flattered him and he wanted to support them. saudi arabia obviously was a significant part of americas middle east policy. choosing it against iran and so on. and we saw that he, over the last few week...

In the world, your hilife just t more dangerous today than yesterday. the united states is not going to speak up for you, particularly if there is someone who will pay money to the president of the united states. secondly, this entirely emboldened mohammed bin salman, who escalated a war in yemen, which led to a famine which can put peoples lives at risk. what will he do next? basically, the signal not just to mbs but to everybody in the region, everybody in the saudi royal family who might serv...

An american first policy. you said this was an american farcel policy. explain. >> its been clear now for a long time that mbs was responsible for this killing. frankly, for the cia to arrive at this assessment, we have to know trump has been aware for weeks that there was information in the system that pointed to mbs being responsible for this killing. what was interesting to me is, for some time, he tried to craft a cover story. there were road killers. they seemed to be trying to find a way a...

A lot of people said, yeah, hes dicey, but you know what, well live with that. >> yeah. >> how do we -- were people just blind to this, or has he gotten worse? is it that they were willing to overlook how atrocious he was, or was he not quite as atrocious before, and hes just gotten much, much more depraved? >> i think hes always been the same guy. one thing, john, i was in a meeting with king salman and president obama, where president obama raised human rights concerns. the detention of blogge...

Every person involved in the murder of jamal khashoggi will be held accountable. but then you look at this statement from president trump basically saying it doesnt matter if the crown prince had knowledge of this or was involved. he said "maybe he did or maybe he didnt." the big picture here is once again the president is at odds with his intelligence community. this is a slap in the face to the intelligence community who has been working for the last several weeks, months to gather this intell...
