The midterms two weeks from today. The president in campaign mode. He was in texas last night embracing senator ted cruz. The man he called lying ted during the campaign. Now labels beautiful ted. A globalist is a person that wants the globe to do well, frankly, not caring about our country so much. You know what . We cant have that. They have a word. It became old fashioned. It is called a nationalist. I say really . Were not supposed to use that word. Im a nationalist. The president escalated his receipt ihetoric of the caravan moves through mexico. More than 1,000 miles away from the u. S. Border. I think the democrats have something to do with it. Now theyre saying i think we made a big mistake. That is an assault on our country. And in that caravan you have some very bad people. Again, that caravan more than 1,000 miles away from any port of entry into the United States. Migrants say they are fleeing violence and looking for economic opportunity. Monday, the president threatened to cut aid to Central American countries who failed to stop the migran migrants. He said unknown middle easterns were embedded in the caravan. There is no evidence that is true. The rally is a chance for the president to pitch to the base with early voting under way in 21 states. President Trumps Campaign rallies with rhetoric and a lot of it false. It appears the president is making up claims about Migrant Caravans and tax cuts and voter fraud. We have a scroll for you. The list goes on and on. It caught the attention of former president obama as he campaigned in nevada. Unlike some, i like to state facts. I believe in a factbased reality. And a factbased politics. I dont believe in just making stuff up. Former Vice President joe biden campaigning for democrats in florida. He calls the trump comments about the Migrant Caravan quote hysteria. He says it is a no nothing about climate change. And a suspicious package intended for george soros found in a mailbox near his new bedford home. An employee opened the device. The case has been turned over to the fbi. Republican Congress Member Kevin Mccarthys office was vandalized last night in california. The House Majority leader, mccarthy showing footage of the suspects and asking if anyone knows these guys. He says they threw a boulder through his window. Take a look at that. 30 minutes from now, we are expecting turkey president Recep Tayyip Erdogan to address parliament with details into the investigation of the Jamal Khashoggi death. On sunday, erdogan promised he would remove the lid from what his staff is calling a cover up by the saudis. Cia chief gina haspel traveling to washington. Donald trump telling usa today saying he believes it was a plot gone awry and indicates he will oppose arms sales. Still, the president does seem to be running out of patience with the saudis. I am not satisfied with what i heard. They want a month . Thats a long time. No reason for that. The president s soninlaw Jared Kushner has close ties to the crown prince. He spoke to muhammad bin salman and advised him to be fully transparent. Lets go live to turkey and bring in ben wedeman. Ben, there are mixed signals from the americans here. You have the president saying he doesnt like the deception, but backing away from stopping any arms sales. The treasury secretary is in saudi arabia meeting with muhammad bin salman. Reporter thats right. We saw a picture from the Saudi Press Agency of secretary meeting with the crown prince. He is not attending the davos in the desert Investment Conference that has been organized by the crown prince. Instead, he is attending a separate terrorism conference. So they are trying to maintain a certain distance from the crown prince. Having a picture of the treasury secretary of the United States with the crown prince published online doesnt send the right message. Here in ankara, the turkish capital, we are expecting the president Recep Tayyip Erdogan to begin speaking in a half hour. He has already said that he is going to present in his words the naked truth about what happened. He said that nothing about this incident, the killing of Jamal Khashoggi, will remain hidden. Of course, what everybody wants to know is what is in if they exist these audio recordings that turkish official sources who remained anonymous who insist the Washington Post journalist on october 2nd after 1 00 p. M. Local time was tortured, murdered and dismembered. What we heard is the saudis have acknowledged he was killed in a perhaps botched interrogation. Everybody wants to know where the body is locatelocated. The turks have not found it. The investigation, certainly, goes on. In 23 minutes, we will hear from the president of turkey. Thank you so much. Ben wedeman. Breaking overnight. The search on for the gunman who shot and killed a student on the university of utah campus. A series of shots were reported and a womans body was found in a vehicle. Police believe she had a previous relationship with the suspect identified as 37yearold melvin roland.

He says he is cutting taxes for the middle class by 10 with no legislative vehicle to do it. During the rally in houston, the president brought up the new tax cut three times. Were going to be putting in a 10 tax cut for middle income families. Its going to be put in next year. 10 tax cut. Republicans passed the biggest tax cut and reform in history with massive tax cuts for the middle class. Now were adding 10 to those numbers. Kevin, were putting in next week the 10 reduction in middle income taxes. Right . Assuming that kevin is the house ways and means chairman there at the rally. Critics of the president s and gop tax law overhaul say this really was skewed toward companies, not the middle class. How real is this . This new mystery tax cut . The white house says the president wants tax reform 2. 0. Additional 10 for middle income families. A source tells cnn there is no serious plan. There are two issues here. The president says next week. Next week . There is no clear time frame and no chance of a plan passing before midterms. Congress is out campaigning. Congress is in recess through the election. How would it be paid . The original 1. 5 trillion is ballooning the deficit. Swelling 17 in 2018 to 779 billion. The highest in six years. Insiders say this is a campaign talking point. No need to speculate. It is a blatant lie. Two weeks before the midterms. No plan. The president wants to remind people he cut taxes and he wants the middle class to think he can do more. If he wanted this tax cut, he had 18 months to get it through. We all know what this is and im certain the crowd knows what this is. Nancy pelosi says democrats will use subpoena powers strategically if they take the house. And at a citizen conference, the minority leader said she would not take a shotgun from the testimony, but use the threat of subpoenas to gain leverage. Subpoena power is interesting. To use it or not to use it. Its a great arrow to have in your quiver in terms of negotiating on other subjects. Pelosi said she is quote comfortable she will be speaker again if democrats win the house in two weeks. She told the l. A. Times she sees herself as a transitional figure.

Reporter as you said, this is drip, drip, drip. This may be the splash from the president who promised nothing about the incident, the murder of Jamal Khashoggi on october 2nd, will remain hidden. Were not all together clear if this means he will pull out the audio recording that turkish officials anonymously have insisted exists. An audio recording that proves that he was killed on the 2nd of october. First tortured and then after being killed dismembered. Now we do know that for instance the United States said the saudis should come forward with as much information as possible and be as transparent as possible. Steve mnuchin, the treasury secretary, who is in saudi arabia, but not at the Investment Conference. On his way to jerusalem, he said the saudis need to provide more information showing the death of mr. Khashoggi was not intentional. Certainly if you remember clarissa wards reporting about a body double. A man who looked just like Jamal Khashoggi traveling around istanbul dressed in his clothing. It would indicate that there is nothing about this incident that wasnt premeditated. It is going to be very difficult for the saudis could get out of this hole theyve dug.
