Transcripts For CNNW Early Start With Christine Romans And D

CNNW Early Start With Christine Romans And Dave Briggs October 22, 2018

This. The crown prince is not aware of this. Even the Senior Leadership of Intelligence Service was not aware of this. This was a rogue operation. This was an operation where individuals ended up exceeding the authorities and responsibilities they had. They made the mistake when they killed Jamal Khashoggi in the consulate and they tried to cover up for it. The foreign minister says the kingdom is determined to punish those responsible for khashoggis murder. We have International Diplomatic editor Nic Robertson with the latest from the consulate in istanbul. It appears Recep Tayyip Erdogan is promising to reveal the truth. Good morning. Reporter good morning. A matter of honor, dave. That is how erdogans spokesman describes it. He is expected to speak on tuesday. He says they will push forward the investigation. There is a feeling on the turkish side they are not getting full cooperation from the saudi officials. What the crown prince is saying is not holding up and only a partial issue of what happened here. The reason they would believe this is because the foreign minister talks in part about good cooperation. Saudi officials coming to cooperate with the turkish officials. One issue is where is the body of Jamal Khashoggi. The saudi spokesperson says the body was handed over to a collaborator. For turkish officials, that would seem to indicate the saudis have more information and at the moment, the trail of trying to find khashoggis body seems to be running cold. Searching woods and farms and unable to find him. They are questioning 28 people from the saudi consulate so far today. This is coming from inside saudi arabia. The king and crown prince called khashoggis family to offer condolences. According to the saudi press agency, he thanked him. One would expect those sorts of statements that we are hearing from the saudi press agency. He thanked them. One would expect that. Dave. 20 days and this shifting explanation. Nic robertson, thank you. President trump speaking out against the saudis shifting explanation for khashoggis fate. Saying in the interview with the Washington Post saying there is deception and lies. The president defended saudi arabia as an ally. He clung to the issue that the crown prince did not order the an assassination. He praised the crown prince with good control of the country. On capitol hill, lawmakers expressed deep skepticism. It called for severe repercussions. Including several senators typically in the president s corner. I think the cover stories from the saudis is a mess. You dont bring a bone saw to a fist fight to a consulate in turkey. The saudis have said a bunch of crap which is not accurate or true. They lost all credibility as it relates to explaining what happened. I can understand the president wanting to keep open channels, but those of us who want to speak directly, knows it is not credible. If the crown prince loved his country, he would not put the country in this position. If he truly respected the relationship with the United States and saudi arabia, he would not have thought of this. I want to work with the president. We have to send the right message. Others who would do this, i dont want to give them the green light. Adding to the chorus is the Editorial Board of the wall street journal weighing in. The u. S. Officials above all cant appear to be complicit in the whitewash. Americans understand that the United States has interests in the middle east that requiring working with rulers which are brutal. That should not extend to denying actions that offend our values when they occur. And 15 days and counting to the midterms. The president has up to 15 planned Campaign Stops just in october. This week alone he is in texas tonight for senator ted cruz. In wisconsin on wednesday and North Carolina on friday and in illinois on saturday. The president will have something new to crow about on nbc wall street journal poll shows his Approval Rating is at a new high. Two points under his disapproval within the margin of error. Still by a ninepoint margin, voters would prefer the democrats control congress. Over the weekend, President Trump was in nevada where he seized on the Migrant Caravan in Central America and pushed a jobs, not mobs message attacking democrats. Countering trump in nevada is president obama campaigning for jackie rosen and steve cisilak. Running for senate and governor. Joe biden in florida today campaigning for bill nelson and Andrew Gillum. Gillum and his republican opponent ron desantis sparring over the debate. One issue is the Climate Change. As well as the environment. Gillum returned fire over the Climate Change skepticism. The tallahassee mayor tried to tie desantis to donald trump. Donald trump is weak. He performs as weak people do. They become bullies. Mr. Desantis is trying out to be the trump apprentice. He is forced to address accusations he is using race against him. Desantis warned in a fox news interview not to monkey this up. He strongly denied that comment was about race. You look at my record whether it is in the military and were down range in iraq, it did not matter your race. We all wore the same uniform. We all have the American Flag patch on our arm. That was end of story. The latest cnn poll has gillum ahead of desantis by 12 points among likely voters. Trump administration considering its most drastic move yet to roll back protections for transgender people. The New York Times reporting that the department of health and Human Services pushing an effort to define gender as a biological condition at birth. It would define transgender out of existence. Under federal law. Hhs wants a uniform definition under title ix. The civil rights law banning gender discrimination. The definition is quote grounded in science. The Obama Administration angered conservatives by widening the definition in federal programs prompting fights over bathrooms and dorms and human rights campaigns slamming the proposal calling it a destructive precedent. Top military brass were in much bigger danger than first thought. The American General who oversees the nato mission in southern afghanistan wounded in the thursday attack in kandahar province. A nato spokesperson says Brigadier General smiley is still in charge of the command. Two officials, including the Kandahar Police chief, were killed in the attack. General scott miller drew his weapon during the attack, but did not fire. President trump says he has a new plan to help in the midterms. Tax cuts. President told reporters on saturday the tax cuts are aimed at the middle class. We are looking at putting in a very major tax cut for middle income people. If we do that, it will be prior to november. I would say some time around the 1st of november. Maybe before that. It is not clear exactly what trump meant or who the we is there. There is no chance of a plan passing before then. Congress is already in recess through the election and after that, it is unlikely to pass during the lame duck session. There is a deep divide. Many critics say this was corporate welfare. It helped corporate america, not the middle class. Trump acknowledged saturday adding the plan would not be for businesses at all. Also not helping in the tax bill is the original 1. 5 trillion tax cut is raising the federal deficit to 779 billion. The highest in six years. Will that become an issue in the midterms that the entitlement cuts Mitch Mcconnell is throwing out . National security advisor john Bolton Landing in moscow days after the u. S.

Another interesting thing is the chinese have commented on this. Criticizing the u. S. For leaving the treaty.

At disadvantage toward china which is not part of the treaty and could develop any weapons it wants. Christine. Thanks, Fred Pleitgen in moscow. Well talk sports ahead.
