according to his fiancee and his friends that we have been talking to, because he was trying to get married and needed official documentation from the saudi consulate. his fiancee had said at one point he was a bit anxious about going in, bearing in mind of course he s not really a dissident, but he is a known critic. but he did have perhaps some doubts. but he d already gone in the friday previous, come out without any drama, was given his follow-on appointment, and that s when he basically went missing, whether or not he was according to erdogan s adviser and others who are putting statements out there, murdered inside the consulate, whether he was somehow sedated and then moved elsewhere, we don t really know. there s no evidence to back that up. but at the same time as i was saying, and this is what s quite chilling about all of this, anderson, the saudis aren t providing any sort of cctv footage, evidence to show him departing on october 2nd, which is why there are so many questio
home? he changes the rhetoric in his speech in a little bit, what does he say when he s doing a rally in ohio in two weeks? that s i think what people will watch. so i don t know that we will know exactly how this plays for a bit of time past the speech today. congressman kinzinger, one thing we haven t said today that i think is probably the elephant in the room is oil. yeah. one of the reasons the united states, this started long before donald trump, one of the reasons the united states has such a close relationship with saudi arabia is because of all of the petroleum that we consume from that part of the world. yeah, it s fact. the united states is now becoming the world leader in energy production and the saudis aren t happy about that. that s a great thing. yeah, it s a reality. when you figure who your alliances are, in many cases it s going to be who is a benefit to us and who is a thorn in our side. if you look too, an important thing about this, under the prior adminis
it s a very top down approach to this issue which the problem here is that the saudis aren t clamping down or the gulf states aren t clamping down, but he didn t really appeal at all to the 6 billion muslims around the world to suggest that he doesn t really hate muslims like he s said for the last two years. i think it s little on substance. we re not hearing anything new. this isn t a departure on american policy. i can t remember how many times the u.s. has said we re going to combat terrorism with the gulf countries. if you re looking for substantive policy, clear vision, anything that is going to be definitive, i would say i did not see anything particularly new about this. it s the same tone we have heard from subsequent american administrations. i think it s ironic you had a president say we re not going to lecture other countries about how they do business, but then they got a government they didn t deserve. it sounds like a regime change in iran. so i think there is a loft i
has the ability to get people to caucus. when i hear that they are still looking how to train new voters because that s what they are relying on in iowa, that s problematic for that team. anything can happen with donald trump but right now ted cruz definitely has the advantage. would you say all of these rally, the popularity of donald trump, people coming out in droves, buying the hats is that an entertainment factor? in part. people are going to the rallies. what people are not used to in iowa is having candidates talk at them which donald trump is doing. they like to speak with their candidates. it s a retail campaigning state. that s also goes to the point about organization and ground troops and being able to caucus. governor, hillary clinton has won a lot more endorsements than bernie sanders so far but still missing a few that could be key. what do you make of that. why aren t top democrats backing
second largest oil producer after the u.s. has declined to cutback oil production. is this aimed at pricing expensive to produce shale oil mostly from this country and canada and get identity out of the market lays. in some sense the saudis didn t have much of a choice. if they cutback production the u.s. was growing at a million barrels per day per year. the u.s. would keep growing and offset a lot of the saudi production cut. and the saudis aren t going do it alone they will do it with other members of peck and none-opec countries. they are trying to slow down the growth of u.s. shale but more so non-u.s. supply like the arctic, ultradeepwater, oil sands and that s work. $300 billion in global capital investment cutback. i want to just be clear on your biography. you re a former senior adviser
