khashoggi. the first part is he talked about three people, a team from the consulate, not clear apparently they re not the 15 saudi operatives who arrived on the day khashoggi was first disappeared. this team from the consulate, the day before khashoggi went missing, were reportedly involved in some kind of reconnaissance mission, a reconnaissance operation in a couple forests on the outskirts of istanbul, belgrade, and these have been areas that have been sort of a point of some focus with turkish authorities as they go about trying to discover where the body of jamal khashoggi may be. president erdogan did not say what exactly this reconnaissance mission what exactly it was for. but still, an interesting detail that we hadn t heard before. the second thing he mentioned, which is also very significant, was that they believe now turkish authorities, that the saudi authorities in the
a moment in order to commit a homicide, they chose it perfectly. on november 4th, the oil sanctions go into effect against iran as an element of our cancelling the nuclear accord. that will fail without saudi cooperation. saudi is still the largest swing player in the oil market. if we re going to squeeze the iranians out of the nuclear program it s because the saudis cooperate. the enormous meltdown that is going on now that syria and iraq have become iranian puppet states, the only counter to that is the saudis. is there going to be a serious investigation of the murder of khashoggi? don t stay up nights for it. you think there s going to be a serious accountability for it? i doubt it. the saudis are in the driver s seat on critical elements of american foreign policy, and donald trump is not going to step on their toes. brett, stay there. we have breaking news right now. we just learned that the first
not. the allegation you made or that somebody made was that his financial interests are what is guiding his decision making. i don t see any evidence of that. i don t believe it. if somebody s got proof of that, bring it forward. do you see that when i understand that. when you see he sits in the oval office or he talks to reporters and he says i believe the saudi arabians. they denied it. i believe them. when there s reports coming out of turkey that defy that. there s video of khashoggi entering into the consulate and not coming out. it seems like he s giving them a bit of cover here. here s what i think. i think there are truly some people, i think this is beyond naive but truly some people who believe that we should condemn
those are the biggest ordseers the history of this country. the big question we re asking is why is the president hesitant to hold the saudi government responsible for khashoggi s disappearance. bill, i want to start with you. what s the latest from istanbul? reporter: as we speak the search is going on at the saudi arabian consule general s home. the saudis appears to obstruct that search but about four hours ago a team of about a dozen turkish police forensic experts went in, including a turkish prosecut prosecutor. they are going through the rooms in that house one by one using
of louisiana. thank you for joining us. thank you. one of your colleagues, lindsey graham, has called for sanctions against saudi arabia. do you support that? i support part of what lindsay has said. i agree with him that americans foreign policy has to be anchored in values. mr. khashoggi went into the saudi consulate. he didn t come out, at least not in one piece. i think the saudis murdered him. we just finish and have a complete forensic investigation. i think that s what we re going to find. i don t think it matters whether king salman or prince mohammed knew about it, they re captains of the ship. i think we have to condemn that behavior in the strongest possible terms. how we do that, we need to talk about. what that doesn t mean and this is where i disagree with senator
