transcript as we are likely to see. the white house does not confirm with some in the media are reporting, which is that there are these new ai programs to audio record. sources that i have spoken to have all shot that down. it is up to the white house if they are doing that now, and they are going to put that out there, i don t know. that was not the case in the bush administration, the w bush administration or the obama administration. white house calling them a moratorium on any presidential calls after the watergate scandal. melissa: overall tone very angry, very feisty. david: i think he feels he is winning. we were talking about that before, if you are a foreign leader, it is kind of tough. gillian: you can t discuss any of your issues that you came to talk about. david: the sense is that he feels like he is winning. he thinks he has a jump on the media, that he has a jump on the democrats by releasing the
director. how do you treat the president s comments? if the cia has high confidence in something, is it a safe bet that it made it to his desk? i would think that by now, especially since the cia detector, gina haspel, was over in turkey and has reviewed, i m sure, all of the evidence and probably listeneded to the tape as well. and has consulted with the saudi experts inside of saudi arabia. i feel that the cia assessment would have made it directly to donald trump. i want to play what the president said about the audio record iin ining said to exist khashog khashoggi murder. we ll talk about it on the other side. we have the tape. i don t want to hear the tape. no reason for me to hear the tape. why don t you want to hear it, sir? because it s a suffering tape. it s a terrible tape. i ve been fully briefed on it. there s to reason for me to hear it. in fact, i said to the people, should i? they said, you really shouldn t.
barbara starr, thank you. all right. now we are also getting new information about how the turks obtained some of the chilling evidence about khashoggi s fate. let s go to our international diplomatic editor nick roberts. he is on the scene for us in istanbul. nick, tell our viewers what you are learning. reporter: wolf, a pro-government newspaper here, saba, said they talked to trusted sources, which we take to be the government, and this is a newspaper that had a drip-drip feed of what has turned out to be accurate information. from their, we believe, government sources all week. now they re revealing how and why the turkish authorities were so confident that they had material that proved khashoggi s death, where it took place, how it took place, how brutal it was. jamal khashoggi was wearing an apple watch when he went into the consulate. he had paired it with his iphone, which he left with his fiance outside. he set it to audio record when
it s simply inadequate. jon: you think they are voting to convict? absolutely. jon, what was interesting to me is we did not hear anything about abuse of domestic violence. it was something that was talked about very much prior to the case. jon: right. they did not go that route or say she was coerced into this crime. they essentially said she did not know and did not participate. jon: what about, emily, what about david s points that the fbi didn t video record or audio record her statements? i mean, she implicated herself pretty strongly in some of these statements. absolutely. but the an accepts of that does not mean they are not true. she admitted in different formats. it s not about the lack of recording for her to now retract the statement and argue coercion. there is simply an overwhelming volume of evidence that she was in fact included on it. again as i said earlier the fact that she is the ultimate source of so much information we have on omar mateen, including
shots at the u.s. and this is one of the reasons why the u.s. intelligence community believes this may very well be authentic, that is because he makes references to events that have only taken place in the last few weeks. for instance he references north korean threats to the nus gentlem u.s. in japan, russia in ukraine in defiance of the west. so all these things because of that timely information giving some confidence that this is in fact the isis leader. in addition typically when you get an audio record willing like thi this, they ever other recordings and they look see if there is a voice match. i m toldwilling like this, they ever other recordings and they look see if there is a voice match. i m told assessment is not complete, but like i said, neff no reason to doubt the authenticity. as you get more, we ll bring you back on.authenticity. as you get more, we ll bring you back on. i have to imagine it will.
