worse knowing we are not for the people, the new saudi king, to take advantage of the vacuums. chris christie was asked today if he could be in any way sympathetic to the iranian reaction to this given that the man was executed simply for things that he said. and chris christie said he had absolutely no sympathies for the iranian side of this. yeah. unfortunately i think that s across the board. unfortunately not just in the republican camp but among democrats too. iran has been so vilified in the american public that it would be hard are think for ms americans to have sympathy. the biggest concern is more of what marco rubio said. that is grounded in american love affair with militarism in the middle east. and if we had to somehow have a normal regular relationship with saudi arabia that wasn t pumping billions of weapons into their
american public that it would be hard are think for ms americans to have sympathy. the biggest concern is more of what marco rubio said. that is grounded in american love affair with militarism in the middle east. and if we had to somehow have a normal regular relationship with saudi arabia that wasn t pumping billions of weapons into their pockets, a normal relationship not based on this militarism, that would hurt a lot of people here in washington. and we are attached to that to our peril. it was saudi arabia in 1979 that with us started to arm and train those in afghanistan that brought us osama bin laden and 9/11. holding on to this idea that they re our military ally has only hurt us and it will continue to hurt us. that will be the last word on it tonight. thank you both for joining us tonight.
