to washington. another republican rebellion dependency the president in the works, this one having nothing to do with mexico. instead, all over the president s move to go around congress to sell weapons to saudi arabia. now there is a bipartisan effort under way in the senate to stop him. cnn s alex marquedt is following this for us. he joins me now. democrats and republicans working together on anything, full stock, but working together against the president. what are you hearing right now? reporter: the other thing we don t see very often is republicans in congress coming out so vehemently against the president s proposals. we ve seen both those elements play out several times in the past eight months in the wake of jamal khashoggi s murder, saudi journalist working for the washington post, murdered at the consulate in istanbul, concluding that sawed a arabia s crown prince was behind that.
behavior of mohammed bin salman, the crown prince, cannot be ignored. now is not the time to do business as usual with saudi arabia. i m also concerned about the precedent these arms sales would set by having the administration go around legitimate concerns of the congress. you have members who essentially do not want to reward the kingdom of saudi arabia with these arms sales. frankly, these resolutions of disapproval, they re not much more than that. it s not clear what these senators can do to essentially block those arms sales beyond stating their disapproval. kate? it s one thing to say something. it s another thing to do something. as you re seeing, this is all kind of coming together right now, alex. the administration sure seems to be testing the limits of the national emergency, national security declarations from trade and tariffs to immigration and the border and now looking at going around congress when it comes to arms sales. put it all together, it s quite
something. thanks, alex. appreciate it. thank you. coming up, why is senator bernie sanders headed to a walmart shareholders meeting? the message he s taking. and the real question is, will it be heard? plus the only armed guard on campus the day of the school shooting in parkland, florida. he is now facing criminal charges for what he did or, rath rather, didn t do that day. we ll talk to a mother of one of the victims. stay with us. nlash serum solution. with our lash caring complex. see a thicker-looking lash fringe in just 4 weeks. over 10,000 women tried it and love it. my husband has noticed a difference. i really love lash serum. try new lash serum solution. from l oreal paris. as a family, we always mum and dad are always saying. i love the breakfasts.
