saudi arabia has a pretty atrocious record on human rights. we don t really have any idea except for with the president of how the saudis have reacted to this. even though the u.s. press was allowed to go into the palace, they did not allow boom microphones which allow you to get audio of what the leaders are saying. couldn t hear any of that. the saudis, when they put out their video, they scrubbed out the audio. so we depend on what the president says. sounds like he s given quite a lot of detail and that were add odds over biden claiming that he believes mbs denied it, that mbs was responsible for khaishoggi s death. neil? neil: thanks, jacqui in jeddah, saudi arabia. it was on to business and to business at hand. that s how we work with the saudis to isolate iran. the saudis are also working with israel to make sure that they don t get a nuclear weapon.
