Transcripts For CNNW Wolf 20181016 : vimarsana.com

Consequential decision of his presidency. And now a demand for a strong response to the saudis. Ive been their biggest defender on the floor of the senate. This guy is a wrecking ball. He had this guy murdered in a consulate in turkey. To expect me to ignore it, i feel used and abused. I defended saudi arabia because theyre a good ally. Theres a difference between a country and individual. The mbs is toxic. This would blow apart the middle eastern part. The u. S. Cant shrug its shoulder and say Nothing Happened here. Our chief International Correspondent is standing by in turkey for us. First lets check in with sam kylie joining us live from riyadh, saudi arabia right now. The u. S. Secretary of state mike pompeo was there. He met with the crowned prince. Met with the king. Met with the foreign minister. What else can you tell us . Well, lets go through the meetings quickly. There was a 15minute meeting with king salman. Until now he handed over the reigns of power to his son. And the issue there, i think is interesting, because it is the king that really has managed to reign in the some of the more inflammatory rhetoric that was coming out last week. But then pompeo went on for a 40minute meeting with the crowned prince. That was more meaty. Less respectful in private, we understand, or not with the words candid and direct being used in terms of the language used by mr. Pompeo. He couldnt exactly read the riot act. He is demanding there be a degree of transparency in terms of coming to some kind of conclusion about what happened to Jamal Khashoggi. And he is also due this evening to be hosting, that is the crowned prince, hosting the secretary of state at a dinner. There will be more opportunity there to try to massage this relationship. There is getting extremely tense, not least because of the growing protests coming out of the capital in washington, wolf. Is there any indication the saudis are about to issue their statement saying this was an interrogation gone wrong and he died in the process . I have had some indications that there have been the term is changes to their position. This has been worked on, really, since the weekend, we understand. Some of the details may change, and some of the sources at cnn had indicated that that was likely as they tried to figure out what is the most convenient truth, if you like, wolf. Stand by. I want to go to clarissa in turkey for us doing amazing reporting on the investigation. What is the latest, clarissa, youre hearing . Well, wolf, i think theres a definite sense here turkish officials are growing impatient. After several days of being restrained. Of complete abstinence of leaks coming from turkish authorities. We heard the right noises about a positive working environment with the saudis. They finally gained access to the consulate. Today a shift in tone. Theres a sense the turks want the saudis to get serious, to provide unfetters access and just to start providing some serious answers, wolf. President ered wan earlier today saying investigators when they were in the consulate, they found traces of toxic materials. Also saying that some things have been painted over, indicating that the saudis who were involved in this botched operation potentially were trying to hastily cover up their tracks. And so as i was saying, theres a sense that we need to know now, what happened to this man where was his body disposed of . How was he killed . Who killed him . At Whose Authority did this take place . Weve been hearing the saudis are about to issue this statement, and implicate their own responsibility and take ownership of it. But so far that hasnt happened. In the meantime, the clock is ticking. And patience is wearing thin, wolf. Clarissa the assumption is they cut up the body and put it in boxes, diplomatic pouchs and shipped it to saudi arabia. Is that the working assumption . Reporter well, the turks so far have not exactly said what happened to the body, but they have strongly indicated that they do already know what happened to it. And that they are not afreud ai release that information if they dont start to get serious answers. Clarissa ward in saudi arabia. Theres a lot of International Fallout for saudi arabias big upcoming conference which has been dubbed davos in the desert. People have already pulled out. Many sponsors announced theyll boycott this upcoming event. Lets go to our Senior National correspondent, alex marcord here in washington. A lot of big names pulling out. Who is still planning to attend . Wolf, this is the other major aspect of the story. Aside from the political fallout, how will the Business Community react . That community they have been trying to court, trying to convince saudi arabia is a place to do business. Lets look first at the leaders who for now are still planning on attending. You have the ceo of seamans, the head of the imf, but the one that everyone is watching is the u. S. Treasury secretary steven mnuchin. The fact that he is still considering going is a sign that the Trump Administration is still willing to give saudi arabia the benefit of the doubt after the alleged murder of khashoggi. Not punishing them by pulling out of the conference which frankly would be a very easy thing to do, and it would send them a strong message. President trump has said that its possible that mnuchin will not go saying no decision has been made. The said its up to mnuchin who has until friday to decide whether to attend. So thats the one we are really watching closely. Now, there are others we are still waiting to hear from. Notably soft bank from japan. The french banks, the French Hotel Chain accor. We have just learned the London Stock Exchange has pulled out. That is evidence of the huge amount of pressure on these people and these companies who are still mulling it over to punish saudi arabia by not going. Now, postponing the conference could be a possibility for saudis, but so far theres no indication theyll do it. Wolf, if they go ahead, it will be highly embarrassing for them. If that list of people backing out does continue to grow. Alex marcord, thank you for reporting. Here with us to assess, peter bergen, dana bash, our chief political respondecorrespondent. Forget about democrats. From republicans coming in, you heard them tough. Is the president going to heed their advice . Well see. Look, the only the closest analogy to this kind of bipartisan congressional pressure was, of course, on russia. And in a huge bipartisan vote the Congress Said that there have to be greater sanctions on russia after they said the Intelligence Community proved that russia meddled in americas election in 2016. And that was for an adversary. Saudi arabia as you well know, has a lot more of a complicated relationship, but is largely considered an ally in the region. So that makes it even more complicated. And even more telling that Congress Seems to be willing to put any and all punitive measures on the saudi government if and when what our reporting shows and what the members of congress are saying the intelligence shows them is true. And so it is going to be a big question how the president , if the president continues to approach this from a transactional point of view, from a counterterrorism in terms of money from a counterterrorism point of view, and or whether or not he adds in some of what we heard from Lindsey Graham and especially marco rubio. The idea that as president of the United States you also have to factor in the moral leadership that is expected of a president , of america, and has been for the last century plus. He went to the saudi consulate in istanbul to get documentation to allow him to get divorced. He was waiting outside the consulate. Theres pictures of him walking in. No pictures of him leaving. We do know that on that day some 15 saudi officials showed up including with box cutters and all sorts of sophisticated autopsy equipment. Do you buy this notion that he was simply being interrogated or was it always the intention to kill him and chop up his body and ship it out of the country . I dont think we know. But clearly the ground is being prepared for al alternative explanation. The king said he left a few minutes after he entered the consulate. The ground is being prepared. The president said it was a potentially rogue operation. This is the narrative thats going to come out which is that somebody you remember Thomas Beckette . Salman, theres plausible deniability. Hell be able to say somebody kind of got over excited and this wasnt our intention. But clearly the ground is being prepared theres only one explanation. The guy was murdered in the consulate. There are no alternative plausible explanations. The question is who is going to take the fall and how high up will it go and will it be low level guys or will some serious relatively high official be blamed . Is the Trump Administration going to accept whatever excuse, whatever explanation the saudi regime comes up with . Some might. The president might at least in public. But that is why what youre hearing from the United States congress in a very robust bipartisan way is so significant. You heard someone like Lindsey Graham saying that he has been a huge advocate for engaging with saudi arabia, in particular the armed sales to saudi arabia. And saying hes done unless there is forgive me, regime change in saudi, and that this young crowned prince is replaced because hes not someone that america can deal with. Thats a pretty big deal, diplomatically for an American Government to be saying or senior people in the American Government to be that overt in saying this guy has got to go when youre talking about how delicately every administration, democrat and republican have approached the saudi royal family. You spent a lot of time studying this. That may be the only way the saudi government comes out of this, if the king announces the crowned prince is gone and he has no more authority, and that those who supported and worked with him are gone. And he brings in a new crowned prince. He has a lot of sons. He does. This is his favorite son. This is a son who has approached his rule as a totalitarian dictator. He imprisoned conservative clerics, activists. And businessmen and princes. So hes made it clear. Necessary in charge, and the king is 82. And this is his favorite son. Im kind of skeptical. That would be a potential solution, but im skeptical its going to happen. Ill play a clip. I interviewed another one of his sons earlier this year who was at least until a few days ago the saudi ambassador to the United States. The New York Times is reporting hes become in saudi arabia and not coming back to washington. When i interviewed him back in april, he was very upbeat about the reform, the positive things happening in the kingdom. Listen to this. I want to tell you whats happening. We have a long term strategy, vision 2030. We are having transformation. We live in a transformation period in saudi arabia. We want to reform our economy. We want to modernize our society. We want to empower our youth including women. That was then. And how much has changed in the last few days . Well, that was then. But that was one side of the story. And you chime in here, please. I think you were alluding to this. The other side of the story was that yes, women were given more rights but they were already also arrested for having the rights they were given. He took a lot of members of his own family and brought them to the ritz and did a bunch of other stuff that we probably dont even know about to live up to the totalitarian name label you rightly gave him. That is something that we really cant forget. That is what goes into the whole question of the moral authority and whether or not america is going to stand by that, what the president s fellow republicans are urging him to stick with. At the end of the day, he cares about saudi politics, not american politics. And so i think he will whether this, even if that is perhaps not something the crowned prince . Yeah. Thank you very, very much. This story may only be just beginning. Coming up, horse face. Thats what the president of the United States is now calling Stormy Daniels. Its not the first time hes verbally gone after a woman. Plus a caravan with hundreds of honduran migrants heading to the border. Those are moms. Anybody seen my pants . Nothing cleans better.

In a tweet the president called Stormy Daniels, im quoting the president now, horse face. Threatening to go after her in referring to her lawyer as third rate. Avenatti called trump an embarrassment to the United States. Stormy daniels tweeted out that President Trump has demonstrated his hatred for women. This is not the first time that donald trump has verbally attacked women. Watch this. Youve called women you dont like fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals. Your twitter account only rosie odonnell. You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her wherever. She doesnt have the look. She doesnt have the stamina. Do you feel betrayed by omarosa . Low life. Donald trump said the following about you. Quote, look at that face. Would anyone vote for that . Can you imagine that . The face of our next president. When youre a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the [ bleep ]. All right. Lets bring in april ryan, the White House Correspondent for American Urban Radio Networks and also a congressional reporter for the hill. April, whats your reaction to the tweet from the president of the United States . This is the president of the United States going after Stormy Daniels, calling her horse face. Let me just put it on the table. Its disgusting. As a woman, but as a journalist its newsy. Looking at the news from this tweet because the white house considers it official. This is the standard bearer for the american public. This is the leader of the free world. And he is chastising a woman. He won, and now hes going after her, calling her a name. What does that do to the women who are still upset after the kavanaugh confirmation . What does that do going into the polls in november . What does that do to his base, these white married women who voted for him at a tune of 51 . And also the white women who voted for him overall at a tune of 53 . What does that do in a moment when women are still hurting. And for the president of the United States to say this about another woman . When he called omarosa a dog, that was wrong. When he talked about ted cruzs wifes looks, that was wrong. This is a person who covers all america. Stormy daniels is still someone who he is hes he covers her as president of the United States. What did you think, melanie. I think the president has been itching to punch back at Stormy Daniels. This is someone who was thought to have beat the president at his own game. Hes been effective. Shes been effective at playing the media strategy. She came out with a book attacking the president. Made derogatory comments about his appearance which she repeated on twitter today. Its not surprising that he came out swinging today in light of this recent lawsuit. But i dont think hes winning the messaging war when it comes to women as april pointed out, especially with a Midterm Election hanging in the balance where these independent women, these moderate republican women are so crucial to winning and keeping the house and the senate. And wolf, and the crazy thing is this, again, he won this defamation case. But hes going after her. The standard is for him, not for Stormy Daniels who has come out talking about things that she knew allegedly in their private moments. But the standard is set for him. This is not president ial. He may say hes changing how president s look. This is not president ial at a time when were engaged in trying to find out what happened to the Washington Post journalist. At a time when theres so much on the table, so much at stake. At a time when there is Voter Suppression alleged in georgia. Its so much going on and what he can do, use his official twitter account and call a woman who hes alleged to have had an affair with, horse face, thats wrong. The suggestion from some is that hes anxious to change the subject from khashoggi, the missing saudi journalist. Well, hes tweeted about a bunch of things today. He had no Public Events on his schedule. No briefing today. Hes tweeted about russia, po elizabeth western. Its not surprising to see him go so hard after Stormy Daniels. Its leaving a lot of people questioning what is he doing . Hes the president of the United States. This is street. Its gutter. Its going into the gutter in fact. Its not going. Its there. Its one thing for michael avenue naughty to use the words he uses, Stormy Daniels, but hes the president. Hes the president of the United States. Hes supposed to be above calling a woman, even a woman who has gone after him, horse face. Hes supposed to be, but he he does not understand the unique perch hes sitting in. He does not understand this position. This is not a joke. There are some who like this gutter tactic. But you are the president of the United States. When the stakes are so high, weve got other World Leaders chiming in on the saudis and making the move on the issue of the murdered journalist, and hes not pushing as hard. Yet he can go on twitter and call a woman horse face after he won a face. April, melanie, thank you very much. Im sure this story is going to continue. 100 million and counting this. Thats how much President Trump has already raised for his Reelection Campaign. Putting him at a massive advantage over democratic challengers, and if there are any republican challengers. Its not quite 100 million, but beto oroarke, trying to take down ted cruz has raised more than 38 million in just three months. And hes not sharing a dollar with fellow Senate Candidates in his own party. Stay with us. But allstate helps you. With drivewise. Feedback that helps you drive safer.

Click or visit a retail store today. With just exactly three weeks left until the midterms, 2020 may seem far away. President trumps Reelection Campaign is already in major full swing. New filings show the president has already raised more than 100 million. Giving him a massive and unprecedented financial advantage against any democrats hoping to challenge him and any republicans who might want to challenge him for the nomination. We are joined by chris. The truth is this number blows the doors off of anything weve seen before. The total is over 100 million when you include the various ways in which hes raising money. How does it compare . This is 71 million hes raised on his own. The 100 million is joint fundraising. Money spent on trump but not through his committee. The rest of these numbers, this is remarkable because these numbers are all the first two years. We still have three months to beat these numbers. Hes already gone way, way over it if you include all his money, wolf, 100 million, hes raised 2 times as much as george w. Bush and 26 times as much as barack obama. These guys werent raising money. Donald trump formed his Reelection Campaign in 2017. Speaking of major fundrai fundraising. Look at texas right now. Ted cruzs opponent, beto oroarke is raising huge amounts of money right now. Listen to him. Are you willing to commit to share some of that to help other democrats get across the finish line in, say, missouri . No. Im focussed on texas. Most of our contributions have come from texas. All of have come from poeople. Folks want to contribute to win the race. If they want to contribute to another campaign, theyre welcome to do that. Were going to spare no expense. Hes not sharing any of that money with other Senate Democratic candidates. It may sound sort of selfish, but beto oroarke raised a lot of money. Hes running in texas. Its an expensive state. He raised 38 million from july 1st to september 30th. He spent 29 million. We released this poll around noon today. Okay. Remember this race was closer at the end of the summer. 5245. It says its still reason range. Ted cruz is not at 62. But this is always the problem. Thats the number to focus on. Democratic candidates in texas over the last several decades, if theyre a good candidate, they can get to 45. Its getting to 49 and 50 thats always the problem. Beto oroarke running up against the same hard ceiling. The question is does the money he has will that solve this problem . This is a partnership problem. I dont know the answer to that. Theyre going to spend it and see, and thats what he makes clear in the clip. Turnout will be critical. And you can spend a ton of money not just on tv but on turnout. He will have the cadillac the tesla, pick the car, the nicest campaign possible. The question is are there enough voters that he can find and drive to the polls to get up over the hard 45, 46. I like the cadillac. Its an old school reference. Its american. I grew up cadillac. Chris, thank you. And dont miss cnn thursday night. The Democratic Senate candidate beto oroarke will face questions in a town hall format. Ted cruz declined the invitation to participate. Thursday, 7 00 p. M. Eastern here on cnn.

The secretary also met with the saudi king. His arrival comes as were learning the saudi government may be ready to publicly talk about the death of Jamal Khashoggi. A turkish official now tells cnn khashoggi was killed inside the saudi consulate in istanbul and his body was dismembered. Awful situation. Joining us now, congressman chris stuart, a republican. Congressman, thank you so much for joining us. I want to get your reaction to these awful reports that this saudi journalist, Jamal Khashoggi, went into the ko consulate. We wanted to get paperwork to allow him to get divorced to get remarried. He never emerged. He was interrogated but he was killed inside and then they had box cutters or whatever to cut up his body and ship it out of the country in diplomatic pouchs. Oh, my gosh. I was a writer, wolf. I wouldnt have written this. It sounds like a horrific spy novel. Theres a couple things about this that i think are disturbing. One of them is an embassy is a place of refuge. Its a place where you should feel safe, especially among your own countrymen. The second thing is the saudi explanation is outrageous. Its absurd. He was accidentally killed during an interrogation . You dont accidentally kill someone. And you shouldnt be interrogating them and putting them in danger anyway. Theres much of this that many of us are disturbed about. The mine field we have to walk through, the real challenge for the National Leaders is the saudis are an important ally to us. We cant ignore this and turn a blind eye and say what theyve done here doesnt matter. It does. And they need to be held accountable for it. You heard Lindsey Graham. Hes a republican. You heard marco rubio. Lindsey graham basically suggesting the saudis need to get rid of their crowned prince and get somebody else. The king has to name another son to that critically important position, because the u. S. Cant deal with this guy anymore. What do you think . Well, i think its one thing we need to be careful of when we say to another nation you have to get rid of a leader. Almost always they dig in their heels. They push back like we do when we felt like russia was trying to influence our election. The saudis will push back. It may not be helpful. Through diplomacy and pompeos visit, we should certainly express our views that someone or one individual or another might be more helpful to the relationship, and weve lost trust in an individual. There are some things the saudis are doing that i think are helpful. Some of the reforms, the rights toward women and minorities, this is a good thing. Its necessary. This is a meaningful step back for them. I feel bad about that, because theyve been trying to integrate into western governments in a more modern way, and we want to encourage that, and as i said, this isnt helpful. Its disturbing for many of us . The stakes clearly are enormous. And how the u. S. Responds to all of this will be very, very significant. The whole world will be watching. Let me go to another issue thats emerging right now. All of a sudden were learning the federal deficit rose by 17 in this year, 2018 to 779 billion. The deficit this year, thats the highest since 2012. Spending was up while Corporate Tax collection fell by 76 billion. Due in part to the republican tax cuts for corporations. Estimates also in this latest federal government report say the federal deficit next year could top 1 trillion. Congressman, what ever happened to that part of your party that used to be deficit hawks and say you cant go on raising, raising, and raising the National Debt . Yeah. Look, if youre a sincere if you are an enemy of National Debt and spending, then you have a friend in me. Because wolf, its the reason i ran in 2012 was because the annual deficit that year. As you mentioned, its the reason that many members of congress right now its some of the motive for us getting involved with that. For this to happen under Republican Leadership is, frankly, just absurd. And that is, by the way, why i voted against the omnibus last fall, because of the incredible spending. The challenge we have is that you have one priorities like our department of defense which is a former air force pilot, i understand we have to adequately fund our defense, those braver men and women who are sacrificing to protect freedomaroufreedom around the world. The second is this. Some people are saying this is only because of the tax reform. Thats just not true. As you know we have actually record receipts in individual income tax. The problem is were spending too much money, and we need to prioritize that and do a better job of that. When i say we, im talking the republicans. We need to be better at prioritizing our spending and saying we wont accept trillion dollar deficits again. Wolf, if we do, there will be an uprising among conservatives. Theyre not going to turn a blind eye to a trillion dollar deficit. The forecasters say the trillion dollar annual deficit continues on and on unless you guys do something about that and do something quickly. Before i let you go, very, very quickly, i just want to get your thoughts. I know you. The president as you know celebrated on twitter today a federal judge decision throwing out the defamation lawsuit brought against him by Stormy Daniels. And then he said this. Now i can go after horse face. He was talking about Stormy Daniels. He called her horse face. Despite all the differences, is it appropriate for a president of the United States to call out a woman like that, even a political rival, someone like Stormy Daniels . Is it appropriate for the president to call a woman horse face . Of course not. Its not appropriate for anyone to call someone that. Under any circumstances. I wouldnt want one of my children to talk that way toward one of their friends. Its unnecessary. He won on this. It was a victory for him. He could have said nothing and left it at that. And its just its not helpful. Its rude. Its unnecessary, not helpful. Why does he do this . I dont know. I dont know. This president , when you look at his accomplishments, and i know that, you know, maybe you or maybe some of your listeners wont agree, but when you look at his accomplishments, my heavens, theyre meaningful. The growth in the economy. Some of our defeat of isis, the regulatory reforms, Supreme Court justices. He has had a successful presidency, and it doesnt help the narrative or the memory that will be left with him to have incidents like this. Its just you know, unpresident ial and not helpful. I wish he wouldnt. I wish we had time to talk about the accomplishments and not a tweet. Its not the first time hes degraded women like that in public. Congressman chris skurt thank you for joining us as usual. Thank you. Right now a caravan Holding Hundreds of honduran migrants is on its way to the u. S. Border. And President Trump is responding. Hes now threatening to cut off all aid to honduras unless that caravan is turned around. O and saved hundreds. Excuse me. Winner thats a win. But its not the only reason i switched.

Border now. It has just crossed from honduras to guatemala. The group will apply for humanitarian visas so they can pass through mexico toward the u. S. Border. President trump tweeted out just a little while ago warning that if the caravan is not stopped, money and aide to honduras will be cut off. Vice president pence also tweeted out saying the u. S. , quote, will not tolerate a blatant disregard for our border and sovereignty. Leyla santiago is joining us. You spent time with a caravan of people from mexico headed to the u. S. Border earlier this year. Does this appear to be organized in a similar way . Reporter you said it. This is not a new thing. I just got off the phone with one of the human Rights Groups working with this caravan. They said the last count has been at 4,000. This group started in one of the most violent areas of that country, and they started at 600. They have crossed into guatemala and they are growing. Now, when i asked them about responding to President Trumps tweet, they said that, yes, they have noticed in just the last 24 hours a bit of a difference when it comes to Law Enforcement. They said when they left san pedro they were able to walk freely. They were told to stay on one side of the road. But just last night things changed. They saw helicopters in the air, they saw more of a military presence, they saw Law Enforcement kind of trying to stop them. Even so, they did cross into guatemala. They are currently on foot right now heading north. The organizers tell me they believe theyll be in guatemala for about three days. That puts them in mexico, if their plans continue, by the end of the week. Many of these migrants will tell you that they are fleeing violence, that they are fleeing poverty. I asked what kind of whats sort of the makeup that they have . Organizers tell me that they have women and children, that they have men but all of them fleeing the violent condition of honduras right now. Leyla, the president said unless these people are turned around and go back to honduras, no more u. S. Money or aid will be given to honey did yoduras. How much is approach described on a yearly basis . From 2016 when you talk about guatemala, youre talk at 297 million. Heres the thing, wolf. Many of the programs that this money pays for, those programs are to try to prevent violence, to try to help people with poverty. So if that aid is taken away, the people who run those programs will tell you youll likely see more immigration, youll likely see larger numbers at the u. S. Border if you take that u. S. Aid away. The worse the situation honduras gets, the more people in honduras will try to leave and make it toward the United States. Leyla santiago doing amazing reporting for us as she always does. Ahead, a debate turns fiery with a claim of treason. And susan rice, who supports President Trump, her son will now reveal whether hell press charges. Stand by.
