14 dead after Houthis strike Saudi airport

WILL CAUSE A FLOOD RISK, THIS IS. THE BIG STORY THIS WEEK. >> Ashley: DEADLY STRIKES ON. RIYADH AIRPORT KILLING 14. PEOPLE, INCLUDING ONE AMERICAN. CAUSING DISRUPTION ACROSS SAUDI. ARABIA. HOUTHIS CLAIMING RESPONSIBILITY. PRESIDENT TRUMP WEIGHING. MILITARY STRIKE. >> President Trump: WE JUST. FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECENT. ATTACK, WE'LL MAKE A DECISION. WE MOVE VERY QUICKLY.

>> YOU SAID THERE WOULD NOT BE. ANOTHER STRIKE ON IRAN UNTIL. AFTER THE MIDTERM, DID THIS. LATEST ATTACK IN SAUDI. >> President Trump: WE'LL TAKE A. LOOK. >> Ashley: FORMER NFCL CHIEF OF. STAFF ALEX GRAY, THANK YOU FOR. COMING IN. WHAT IS YOUR THOUGHT ON. PRESIDENT TRUMP CONSIDERING. JOINING SAUDIS ON THESE STRIKES? >> I THINK THE PRESIDENT IS. SPEAKING THE OBVIOUS, WE KNOW.

IRAN IS IN A HORRIBLE POSITION. THE PRESIDENT IS EFFECTIVELY. DESTROYING THE REGIME ONE DAY AT. A TIME. SUPPLY CHAINS, THEIR CURRENCY, WHAT DO THEY HAVE LEFT? THEIR PROXIES, THE HOUTHIS. THE PRESIDENT IS RIGHT WHEN HE. SAYS WE MAY HAVE TO ENGAGE THEM, THIS IS THE LAST STAND OF THE. IRANIAN REGIME TO USE PROXIES TO. GO AFTER AMERICAN INTEREST AND. AMERICAN ALLIES.

IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE SOME. POINT THE PRESIDENT WILL HAVE TO. PROVIDE ENABLING SUPPORT, TO. SAUDIS AND YEMENI NATIONAL. GOVERNMENT TO MAKE SURE IRAN. DOES NOT HAVE ANOTHER CARD TO. PLAY. >> Ashley: A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO. KNOW THIS AREA SAY ESCALATING. THIS COULD THREATEN SHIPPING. THROUGH THE RED SEA. DO YOU THINK THAT IS GOING TO BE. A PROBLEM? >> MORE OF A PROBLEM IF WE ALLOW.

HOUTHIS TO RUN AMUCK. THEY ARE TARGETING THE AIRPORT. OF THE LARGEST CITY AND CAPITAL. OF ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT OIL. PRODUCERS IN THE WORLD. IF WE CAN'T GET HOUTHIS UNDER. CONTROL, WE'LL HAVE BIGGER. PROBLEMS OVER NEXT COUPLE. MONTHS.. >> Ashley: PRESIDENT TRUMP. ANNOUNCED -- HAMMERING UKRAINE. ALEX, ARE EITHER OF THESE.

COUNTRIES, RUSSIA OR UKRAINE. LISTENING TO PRESIDENT TRUMP? SAME STORY DIFFERENT DAY, YOU. HEAR U.S. SAY ONE THING AND THEN. VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY OR EVEN. PUTIN SAY SOMETHING COMPLETELY. DRIVER. >> BOTH COUNTRIES ARE PLAYING. THEIR OWN GAME. IT IS NOT JUST THE COUNTRY, IT. IS LEADERS AND VOLODYMYR. ZELENSKYY AND PUTIN HAVE. INTERNAL ISSUES THEY ARE TRYING. TO SOLVE AND USE EACH OTHER AND. USE THE U.S. FOR PERSONAL AND.

POLITICAL ADVANTAGE. REALITY IS PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS. GOTTEN US TO A POINT WHERE THESE. GUYS ARE SITTING AROUND. CONSIDERING SOMETHING THAT WAS. TOTALLY OFF THE TABLE A COUPLE. MONTHS AGO. I FEEL CONFIDENT. I THINK WE WILL GET THE. PRESIDENT TO HAVE BOTH LEADERS. AGREE TO SOMETHING THAT IS IN. THEIR INTEREST WHICH IS TO HAVE. ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE TARGETING. CEASEFIRE AS WE GO INTO WINTER. I THINK THEY WILL AGREE TO THAT.

AT SOME POINT, IT SERVES THEIR. INTEREST TO DO SO, NEITHER SIDE. WANT INFRASTRUCTURE DESTROYED. GOING INTO WINTER, MAKING. DOMESTIC POLITICS MORE. COMPLICATED, THESE ARE CIVILIAN. TARGETS. I THINK YOU WILL SEE THEHEM COM. TO THE TABLE ON THIS ISSUE AND. ULTIMATELY THIS WILL LEAD US. FARTHER ALONG TO DIPLOMATIC. SOLUTION, I THINK ONLY PEOPLE. WHO ARE JUST INCREDIBLY BLINDED. DON'T RECOGNIZE THAT THIS WAR.

WILL CONCLUDE AT THE NEGOTIATING. TABLE THROUGUGH DIPLOMATIC MEAN. >> Ashley: I WAS GOING.
