Crown Prince's Visit00:13:54

America marks 250 years, and C-SPAN is there to commemorate every moment.
From the signing of the Declaration of Independence to the voices shaping our nation's future, we bring you unprecedented all-platform coverage, exploring the stories, sights, and spirit that make up America.
Join us for remarkable coast-to-coast coverage, celebrating our nation's journey like no other network can.
This is the Associated Press with the headline, Trump dismisses U.S. intelligence that Saudi Prince was likely aware of the 2018 killing of journalists.
Of course, that's Jamal Khashoggi of the Washington Post, that the CIA during the Trump first administration said that he wasn't just aware of it, but ordered the killing.
This is a portion.
We're going to go to open forum right after this.
While you're dialing in on the lines, Democrats are on 202748-8000, Republicans 202-748-8001, and Independents 202748-8002.
While you're dialing in, we will show you a portion from yesterday from the Oval Office, President Trump responding to a question about that killing.
You know, I feel painful about, you know, the families of 9-11 in America.
But, you know, we have to focus on reality.
Reality, based in CIA documents and based on a lot of documents, that Osama bin Laden used Saudi people in that event for one main purpose, is to destroy this relation, to destroy the American-Saudi relation.
That's the purpose of 9-11.
So whoever buying that, that means they are helping Osama bin Laden's purpose of destroying this relation.
He knows that the strong relation between America and Saudi Arabia is bad for extremism, it's bad for terrorism.
And we have to approve him wrong and to build our relation and continue developing our relations.
It's critical in the safety of the world.
It's critical against extremism and terrorism.
About the journalists, it's really painful to hear anyone that been losing his life for no real purpose or not in a legal way.
And it's been painful for us in Saudi Arabia.
We've did all the right steps of investigation, et cetera, in Saudi Arabia.
And we've improved our system to be sure that nothing happened like that.
And it's painful and it's a huge mistake.
And we are doing our best that this doesn't happen again.
This is the front page of the Washington Post of the two men shaking hands here in the Oval Office.
This is the front page of the New York Times with the arrival of the Crown Prince.
It says President Trump welcoming Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia for a visit to the White House.
This is his first visit to the United States since the killing of Jamal Khashoggi in 2018.
Here is Frank, Walden, New York, Independent Line.
Good morning, Frank.

Hello.
My question is the same as the caller before me, except a little bit different.
Where were the parents in all this when these children were prostituted to these Epstein and his women?
I mean, were they prostituted at all?
It could be a small percentage that were.
And if so, then, of course, we would be held accountable for statutory rape.
The other thing is, of all the thousands of young people that were abused back then, how many can come forward and actually identify the people that abused them, especially once the files do come out?
Because they are unnamed in any files, FBI are not.
So they really can't say, well, I definitely was abused.
I mean, we can't know that for sure.
And the other thing is, will there be prosecutions of those, especially those who are well-known, whether it be a prince or whether it be a congressman or anybody else a millionaire that has money?
I find it very strange that since 2016, all this knowledge was known by the Justice Department.

And if the Democrats had anything on Donald Trump, they could have brung it out at any time from that time to now if they wanted to hinder him from being elected.
So now all of a sudden, they're going to bring it out because they're running out of stuff that they can go after Donald Trump.
First of all, I'd just like to comment as far as the Crown Prince who came to the White House.
I'm wondering why didn't anybody ask the Crown Prince why wasn't he wearing a suit like they did when Zelensky came?
That's number one.
Secondly, you know, for somebody to sit up here and say that this clown that's in the office is doing a wonderful job, I will honestly say that you have to really look at the economy.
Everybody is losing.
The only person that's benefiting is his family and him.
And if people are so buffoon that they allow somebody to enrich themselves while they are steadily being denied their benefits, I would say something is really wrong with you.
Wake up, smell the coffee, get rid of this fool out the office, and let's move on and become Americans again.
Yeah, same tent, same city, same unpredictable state of flux that this country is in.
And I think I speak for a lot of people who are just, you know, jog-droppingly amazed and disgusted by, you know, the arguments that are coming from all sides that's just so petty and distracting and has absolutely nothing to do with the awful problems that we're facing as far as fixing this country.
You know, I wish I had seen the interview that you had with Ken Burns about the American Revolution.
And I was tuning into that on PBS, hoping to get, you know, that kind of warm, fuzzy feeling about our country and its origins and our traditions and our destiny in the world.
And, you know, and I was so overwhelmed in the first 10 minutes about the history that I didn't know.
And it seems that in so many ways the country was as much a mess then in its creation as it is now.
It's just so bewildering.
I myself feel pretty good about my own life, but there becomes the question of just reaching out to your library and catching up with what's happening in Congress.
So, Cal, let's talk about New York City because there was an election since the last time we talked.
Did you vote?
How are you feeling about your mayor-elect?
Are you hopeful?
Are you disappointed?
How are you feeling?

You know, because of the state of the rest of the country is in, it seems as if people are attracted to people like Mom Donnie simply by the tone and the optimism and the hope.
It's very much of a flashback to the early days of Obama, you know, when he was rising and he entered office on this new like sense of hope.
But there's just the overwhelming weight of the chaos that he's entering.
And I guess when he was elected, I had a very solemn conversation with myself.
You know, you just want that optimism, like, come on, get behind the guy, you know, you know, listen to him and ride along the wave of hope.
And I guess I had a very solemn conversation with myself.
And I realized that in a very realistic way, I just don't have the energy for that kind of illusion, you know, that kind of to just pretend to be so desperate with the problems that are weighing down on the city and the country in general that there's this desire to just wish it all away somehow,

you know, with a fellow like Mandami, that he can just come in and smile and poo-poo Trump and everything else.
And you want to think that it's all like a bad dream that he could come along and wake us up and carry us away.
But, you know, these are very realistic problems that have to be handled in very realistic ways.
