intelligence agency not joining them, specifically gina haspel, who many expect to hear from? director bolton addressed this. i want to ask you about the climate assessment that your administration released. the president yesterday, when asked about the economic forecast, essentially said he didn t believe it. take away is that president doesn t feel a responsibility to lead on climate change an preventing the calamity that your administration forecasts. do you agree with that view? if not, why not? the president certainly leading on what matters most and that s on having clean air, clean water. the united states continues to be a leader on that front. even obama s under secretary didn t believe the radical conclusion of the report that was released. you have to look at the fact that this report is based on the most extreme model scenario
at this point, so those are the ones that i have listed that he ll be meeting with. dana: bret, in your experience, what does it mean when the president s schedule is too busy. that he doesn t want to meet with him and they don t want the optics of that meeting. they don t even want to have them cross in a hallway someplace where a picture is taken. listen, the president put out a detailed statement that the u.s. and his administration is standing with saudi arabia for national security interests beyond the concerns over this murder, which are grave. there were a lot of questions about the audio tape of the murder that intelligence have gone through and why john bolton didn t listen to it. he said, i don t speak arabic. what am i supposed to learn from it? i had translaters tell me what happened. i think the real question here is the briefing tomorrow up on capitol hill behind me. the thought of why the cia director, gina haspel, is not there in that briefing as well
