NEIL: ALL RIGHT.
IT WAS A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT FOR
THE SAUDIS WHEN YOU'RE WAITING
FOR YOUR RSVPs, THEN YOU HEAR
FROM THE UNITED STATES TOP
ECONOMIC REPRESENTATIVE WILL NOT
BE SHOWING.
OBVIOUSLY JARRING TO THE SAUDIS
BECAUSE THEY WERE HOPING A TOP
REPRESENTATIVE OF THE
ADMINISTRATION WOULD BE THERE,
NOW NOT THERE.
THAT SENT STOCKS CASCADING FOR A
WHILE.
WE'RE WELL OFF THE LOWS.
STILL DOWN A LOT.
CHARLIE GASPARINO ON THE IMPACT
THIS IS HAVING.
>> THIS WILL HAVE AN IMPACT ON
WALL STREET.
EVEN THOUGH ALL THESE MAJOR
WALL STREET CEOs, JAMIE DIMON,
LARRY FINK.
>> jamie: OF JPMORGAN CHASE,
LARRY FINK, OF BLACKSTONE AFTER
JOURNALIST KHASHOGGI WAS
MURDERED IN THE TURKISH EMBASSY,
SAUDI ARABIA TURKISH EMBASSY.
LOOKS LIKE SAUDI ARABIA
OPERATIVES CONNECTED TO CURRENT
REGIME DID IT.
THEY ALL SAID NO, BUT THEY WERE
ALL PLANNING TO SEND EXECUTIVES
THERE.
TODAY WITH MNUCHIN, STEVE
MNUCHIN, THE TREASURY SECRETARY
BOWING OUT, WHAT AUTHORITIES ARE
TELLING FOX BUSINESS,
WALL STREET IS SCRAMBLING TO
DETERMINE TO SEND ANYBODY TO
THIS CONFERENCE.
NEIL: THAT IS INTERESTING POINT
YOU JUST MENTIONED THERE.
JPMORGAN CHASE MIGHT NOT SEND
JAMIE DIMON BUT HIS LIEUTENANTS
WOULD?
>> BETTER EXAMPLE,
GOLDMAN SACHS.
GOLDMAN SACHS, CEO, WAS SENDING
DINA POWELL, BACK AT
GOLDMAN SACHS.
AND BOTH EXECUTIVES WERE GOING
TO GO, UP TO SALOMON AND,
GOLDMAN IS NOT COMMENTING RIGHT
NOW, WHETHER THEY WILL SEND
EXECUTIVES.
WE SHOULD POINT OUT CITIGROUP
THINKING ABOUT -- IT WAS KIND OF
INTERESTING HOW THEY WERE GOING
TO DO THIS OBVIOUSLY
GOLDMAN SACHS, CITY GROUP, ALL
THESE FIRMS HAVE MASSIVE
BUSINESS TIES TO THE SAUDI
KINGDOM.
THEY DID NOT WANT TO BLOW IT UP.
THEY SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE.
NO CEO'S BUT WE'LL SEND LOWER
LEVEL PEOPLE.
CITI AND GOLDMAN, AS OF RIGHT
NOW HAVE MADE NO CHANGE IN THEIR
DETERMINATION POST-MNUCHIN
WHETHER TO SEND LOWER LEVELS
EXECUTIVES TO THE CONFERENCE.
WE MIGHT FIND OUT SOMETHING
LATER IN THE DAY.
THEY'RE REVIEWING THE MATTER
POSSIBLY, DEFINITELY, FROM WHAT
WE UNDERSTAND.
POINT OUT FOX BUSINESS IS ALSO
REVIEWING WHETHER WE WILL ATTEND
AND COVER THE MATTER.
THAT IS STILL UP FOR REVIEW.
YOU KNOW, WE PUT CALLS INTO
BLACKROCK, MORGAN STANLEY,
WELLS FARGO, GOLDMAN, CITI,
BANK OF AMERICA.
THEY WILL NOT SAY WHETHER THEY
WERE GOING TO ATTEND, THEY ARE
GOING TO ATTEND THIS THING NEXT
WEEK IN LIGHT OF MNUCHIN PULLING
ITS OUT.
WE UNDERSTAND THEY'RE ALL IN
MEETINGS WHETHER THEY GO OR NOT.
IF THEYED THAT HAIR DRUTHERS
WHAT THEY WOULD REALLY HOPE FOR,
THIS THING GETS CANCELED
SOMEHOW.
WE SHOULD POINT OUT THAT --
NEIL: IT JUST MIGHT.
>> BLACKSTONE RUN BY STEVE
SCHWARZMAN IS NOT SENDING
ANYBODY.
WE GOT WORD THEY'RE NOT SENDING
ANYBODY.
THEY'RE AT LEAST PLAYING IT
STRAIGHT.
NEIL: IF THE WAGONS ARE CIRCLING
AROUND THE CROWN PRINCE, SAY WE
SUCCEED GETTING HIS FATHER, KING
SALMAN, SON YOU HAVE TO STEP
ASIDE, SOME WILL NOT BE
SATISFIED, YOU CAN'T TAKE HIM
OUT OF THE POWER MIX AND REPLACE
HIM LIKE A PRINCE OUT OF A PEZ
DISPENSER WITH --
>> WHY NOT?
>> IS THAT ENOUGH TO SATISFY
DEMANDS THE GUY COULD BE A
MURDERER AND PLAN
ADJOURNNALLIST'S DEATH?
WOULD THAT BE ENOUGH?
IN OTHER WORDS WOULD THERE STILL
A TAINT ON SAUDI ARABIA?
>> I THINK THERE WILL BE AN
INVESTIGATION, ALL THAT, THAT IS
WHAT THEY SAY.
YOU TRUST THAT SAUDI ARABIA AN
INVESTIGATION INTO THEMSELVES
YOU REALLY GO THERE?
NEIL: EATING HABITS.
>> DO BACK TO THE THINGS WE WERE
REPORTING LAST COUPLE DAYS.
POMPEO WOULD COME OUT WITH
STATEMENT IMMINENTLY.
WE SAID TUESDAY.
NEIL: DO WE KNOW WHETHER WE GET
VIDEO OR AUDIO?
>> THINK WHAT HAPPENED.
HE WANTED TO FIRST COME OUT WITH
THE SAUDIS BASICALLY SAY HERE IS
THE EVIDENCE, TO PUT SOME
DISTANCE BETWEEN THE EVIDENCE
AND THE ROYAL FAMILY.
IF YOU NOTICE WHAT HE DID, HE
JUST CAME OUT TODAY SAID WE'RE
GOING TO, WE'RE STILL LOOKING AT
THE MATTER.
THEN AT THE SAME TIME, MNUCHIN
CAME OUT AND SAID HE IS NOT
ATTENDING.
WHATEVER THEY FOUND WITHIN THOSE
TWO DAYS IS NOT GOOD FOR THE
CURRENT REGIME, FOR, MBS,
MOHAMMED BIN SALMAN.
NEIL: SO THAT ALL OF A SUDDENNEN
NOW, HE IS, HE WENT BACK TO THE
PRESIDENT, SIDESTEPPED, THEY
HAVE GOT SOMETHING HERE?
VIDEO OR AUDIO.
THAT PROMPTED MNUCHIN, THEY TOLD
MNUCHIN NEWSPAPER YOU'RE NOT
GOING?
>> I'M TELLING YOU, THE WAY THEY
WANTED THIS TO WORK OUT IT WOULD
BE A JOINT PRESS CONFERENCE
WHERE THEY CAN SAY, HERE'S THE
DAYLIGHT, ROYAL FAMILY DIDN'T DO
THIS ROGUE -- IT HASN'T
HAPPENED.
THIS WILL PUT A LOT OF PRESSURE
ON MBS AND ROYAL FAMILY --
NEIL: I HATE IT WHEN WE CALL HIM
MBS HE IS NOT A MERCEDES MODEL.
>> REMEMBER DOMINIC
STRAUSS-KAHN, REMEMBER WHEN HE
GOT EXONERATED.
DSK I REMEMBER THAT.
