government there. he is also a cnn global affairs analyst and he knows khashoggi personally. so, jason, thank you so much for coming on with me today. and first, let's just start on what you do know. are you hearing anymore on the investigation? are you any closer to knowing whether he's even alive? >> well, brooke, i think that that's one of the most disconcerting things about this. we're six days into it, and we don't know much more than we did a few days ago. and just listening to your intro, you know, i'm flabbergasted that two countries that we have close relationships, close security relationships with, are involved in this situation and six days on, we still know so little. i find it hard to believe, almost impossible to believe that at least one of those countries doesn't know what's going on here. >> remind us why the saudi crowned prince may have wanted him silenced.
