My concern is not about my situation as much as it is with jamal khashoggi and everything going on in the world, that the signal this sends about how the united states and how the president of the united states views journalists when 44 journalists have been killed this year is whats really concerning. what im going through, its not fun, ill get over it, but there are people reporting all across the world right now who are actually, you know, in fear of their lives. and what this does is, you kn...

Mbs inner circle as the chief architect behind the kingdoms war in yemen. sources say it was he who chose the team involved in khashoggis disappearance. and while its unclear who exactly is being detained, we know turkish officials are investigating this man, okay? so lets take a look at this. now who is this guy? hes also been relieved of command. saud al qahtani, a top adviser to mbs. sometimes referred to as his enforcer. friends of khashoggis say al qathtani had called khashoggi and urged hi...

No way this happened without mbs, the crown prince, knowing about it. the president saying the report is credible, he rejects the assessment of his own government. why is this happening again? >> well, this is a complicated situation because the saudis did something obviously very terrible, killed a journalist, thats unacceptable, has to be condemned in strongest possible terms. at the same time, our relationship with saudi arabia has to be balanced against a couple of issues. number one, our re...

Gone on for three weeks. my colleague susan glasser wrote a column about how the president prolonged the crisis because he handled it so badly. we could see another tweet or comment this weekend that will draw more scrutiny to this. >> sam, you think the crown prince is up against the clock here. you think it hits close to home here because of mueller? >> i do. let be clear. i by no means wants to compare the assassination of a journalist with potential collusion with russia. we have to think ab...

Lots of questions tonight, and we have the right people to answer them. two former u.s. ambassadors to the region. robert jordan was ambassador to saudi arabia under george w. bush. gerald firestein was ambassador to yemen under obama and we dont have an ambassador to saudi arabia right now. thats one of the things thats not exactly greasing the wheels of the process here. so first big question, and i start with you, ambassador jordan. does this feel right to you whats happening with saudi arabi...

Thats one of the things thats not exactly greasing the wheels of the process here. so first big question, and i start with you, ambassador jordan. does this feel right to you whats happening with saudi arabia? that all of a sudden this explosion of activity and all these people around the crown had something to do with it but not mbs himself? >> chris, this cant feel right to any right-thinking individual. its complete nonsense. youd have to believe in the easter bunny to believe this story that...

Collaborate in this cover-up. >> so he goes in, 59, and gets into a fight, right? then they cut up his body. i mean why? if you get into a fight -- if he goes in and starts a fight, it presumably would be his fault. then why would they cut his body up? >> it doesnt make any sense. >> it makes absolutely no sense. >> who would start a fight with 15 guys. maybe the rock, but not some 59-year-old journalist, okay? it makes zero sense. >> president trump doesnt seem concerned that the crown prince i...
