this on some rogue elements within the government and it seems like the trump white house is trying to find some way out. i think it is important that the secretary of state is going to saudi arabia perhaps on a diplomatic mission. the stakes are very high. i think they want to lower the temperature and give some safe haven away for the saudis to get out of this without any serious penalties. bret: will follow all the steps particular to mike woodson to the present and elizabeth warren. let s say i m debating pocahontas, in the middle of the debate when she proclaims that she is of indian heritage we will say, i will give you a million dollars to your favorite charity, paid for by trump if you take a test that shows you are an indian. the president likes to call my mom a liar. what are the facts say? the facts say that you absolutely have native american ancestry. she was the country a apolog
folks. bret: were getting reports from the wall street journal and others at the saudis are considering putting out a statement that this was a killing by accident and an interrogation. we have yet to see that, the presidents as it is early. his secretary of state is not heading to saudi arabia. guy benson, political editor. mollie hemingway and josh, political editor for national journal. nice, i can say last week. guy, this seems like it is heading into a different direction that we went in the past two weeks. the saudi government lied about this brazenly. the old adage in and politics is the cover-up is always worse in the crime. i would say the crime here morley looks quite terrible but the cover-up geopolitically is worse. the saudi government spent a lot of time to get a lot of people all over the international community, no, you have it all wrong. and now to so dramatically change the story and try to make

[laughs] take the test and then he controlled her if that is the case. it is possible. going to jim s complaint, it is clear why she did this now. she wanted to rip off the band-aid as soon as possible. this is an embarrassment. it s an embarrassment for her, for anyone in the media who try to pretend like today s news was good news for her. she wants to get this off the front burner as soon as possible so that when they 2020 race heats up it is already old news because there is no good spin on it. secondly, if you see the way that s
bret: john roberts, thank you. coming up shortly we will get a live report from mexico beach florida, ground zero of hurricane michael for the latest on the rescue and recovery efforts. the president s words in an interview are starting a new round on the favor of washington a parlor game, who is leaving and who may be coming into the trump administration. the president suggested that he might have another opening in his cabinet soon as defense secretary. i don t know, he hasn t told me that. i think he is sort of a democrat if you want to know the truth. general mattis is a good guy. we get along very well. he may leave. at some point, everybody leaves. bret: no official response, president trump also said that interview that he knows more about nato that general mattis does. massachusetts senator and candidate elizabeth warren is saying, i told you so tonight to president trump. the letter has mocked the former
