they said based on everything that we have, we believe harris: he doesn t want to listen to the evidence? sean: i think evidence to show somebody yelling and squealing grade there s no question that khashoggi was killed and dismembered. the question is the issue is who ordered it? did he go to the crown prince? b1 and that s not on the tape. melissa: how could it not have, though? sean: and just then, there s a big difference whether he was killed by the saudis. which he was. or whether melissa: i don t think there s any way the conference did know about it. at the same time, it reminds me why we are friends of israel and makes me think back on how a president obama alienated israel. the reason we are friends of them the respect of human rights and democracy paid this right through what the rest of the neighborhood is like. sean: it doesn t have to be one of the other.
i m meeting with all kinds of faith leaders and whether you agree with them or not? they are actually part of the official ceremony in the holy city? right, they are doing the opening prayer and ben did, it is a peculiar choice to not have it celebrates this in jerusalem, i do note both individuals have been at the white house previously and interacting with this president, they are close to the vice president in particular. this administration really feels as though they are allies not only in the evangelical base but that they are close friends of the president and close friends of israel. john hagy was somebody who led the charge ahead of the 2017 national convention in july of 2016 to reinstate language about an undivided jerusalem into the official republican party platform. so they really see these two pastors and two leaders in faith
really had a lovefest and it s a striking contrast to the obama years, where there was this torturous relationship between president barack obama and prime minister netanyahu. they did not get along personally. reporters sort of looked forward to these oval office visits, because the body language was so hostile. now netanyahu comes in and he is comparing donald trump to the great historical friends of israel. it was amazing to hear netanyahu say, you re in the tradition of cyrus the great, lord balfour, and harry truman, who recognized the state of israel for your recognition of jerusalem as the capital of israel. you are a great man in history when it comes to the jewish people. so he is really hugging trump and wants a lot from him, particularly on that issue of iran. netanyahu much less interested in getting a peace process started. donald trump seemed to be interested in that. we haven t seen this peace plan he s supposedly working on in secret. it s iran that floounetanyahu i
jerusalem, christians can walk, jews can write in jerusalem. that will be a short as well as always and this announcement only makes this more of a certainty. harris: the audience doesn t know this but you were sitting by me as the president was making the announcement and i had noticed how emotionally you got. did you think you would ever see this in your lifetime? truly i didn t. israel has the united states has had a great presidents who were friends of israel who promised to do this but to see an american president standing there fulfilling his promise and actually as i said making history while recognizing history was for me a very emotional moment. i think all israelis should be grateful for the courage of president trump but also realize
de effort to delegitimize. the unesco say the jews have no you saw it at the security council when they said the western wall is occupied palestinian territory. that sets back the calls for peace. i think the president has injected a very important dose of truth and the only foundation that you re going to build peace on in the middle east is truth. and the president s speech today was a victory for truth and right to historic wrong. your predecessor had similar things to say about clinton and bush. also viewed as good friends of israel. why didn t they do this if it was such a good and smart and obvious move? it s not an easy decision and they each in their own way decided you think donald trump understands the politics of the region better than presidents bush and clinton? i don t know if he understands it better but he gets it and he s now punctured what is not there s a lot of
