by any objective criteria mike pompeo deserves the war. two years in office donald trump is secure the release of 20 people, more captives freedom two years than barack obama got released in eight. that is the work of this organization, you would think they would want to celebrate such good circumstances and results. >> at the risk of being snarky twitter released a statement from 3 hours ago the foley foundation put up at said there is one reason they decided to disinvited the secretary of state, the administration was gutless by not present for accountability around the murder of jamal khashoggi. they stand up for press freedom and human rights and president who says the press is the enemy of the people. you can't exactly fault them for distancing themselves from someone who so slavishly supports a president who says the press is the enemy of the people. shannon: why give him the award in the first place? >> probably before the godlessness was displayed around the salaries and jamal khashoggi and then they couldn't live with the results.

this is not just mike pompeo these are career diplomats who he represents. i have a way the trump administration handled the khashoggi matter. they imposed sanctions on 17 individuals involved in the murder under the global imaginmagnitsky act. they revoked visas from 21 people. we don't know what kind of conversations mike pompeo has had behind closed doors with the saudi crowned prince. some people will not be satisfied until we blow up the entire relationship with saudi arabia. that's not an option. we need saudi arabia to counter iran. there is no other country in the middle east that did k. play the role that saudi arabia has to play in countering iran and iranian influence which is the number one interest to u.s. interest in the middle east. the idea that we are going to blow blow up the entire relationship in response to this is not realistic and it's not quite frankly the right policy. >> martha: marc thiessen thank you very much. >> thanks, martha. >> martha: that is "the story" tonight from kansas city, missouri. we will see you tomorrow night in n

mike pompeo is right on this part. the government says it won't pay any form of friends. this has been a rule since forever. the obama administration in 2015 decided they weren't going to go after families who decided to pay ransom and that is fair. if i was in a situation like that i would do everything i could to bring back loved ones. >> we can't fault a family for the company for trying to protect their business. if mike pompeo wanted to be able he has to outline things for people going forward for how they should respond. shannon: thank you for coming in. midnight hero next. >> tech: at safelite autoglass, we really pride ourselves on making it easy to get your windshield fixed. with safelite, you can see exactly when we'll be there. saving you time for what you love most. >> kids: whoa! >> kids vo: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace ♪ we're all under one roof now. congratulations. thank you. how many kids? my two. his three. along with two dogs and jake, our new parrot. that is quite the family. quite a lot of colleges to pay for though. a lot of colleges. you

foley organization threatened to boycott if mike pompeo was recognized. the media pressure is cynical, how sad that based politics and patread creep into this sphere of our national activity. i will also add pompeo expressed concern the guests would not treat him with respect and he would not show up for this award. we agree on this, james foley was kidnapped and his parents worked hard with the trump administration to bring hostages back home. yet they want to give mike pompeo an award, they are boycotting by the media. >> jon: by the media and supporters, as well. >> media sponsors paying to be there. >> jon: we are on the same page. it is wrong, embarrassment to everyone. it is embarrassment to him, they shouldn't put him m that position, it is embarrassment to supporters. it speaks to poor organizational skills on their part. there had to be discussion internally, someone would have to raise the white flag, this might be a problem. someone probably made the decision, let's do it anyway. it got tough, they decided to back down, that is wrong. i work wi

why the review from north korea of the tough cop whose mike pompeo? >> there are a couple factors. one is that last week, secretary pompeo characterized kim jong-un as a tyrant and north korea responds strongly to anything they see as insulting the leadership and also for repeatedly claiming that kim has agreed to the u.n. definition of denuclearization and the u.n. requirements for abandoning their nuclear arsenal and final ly they are trying to peel away the secretary as well as mr. bolton away from the negotiations and dealing directly with the president. they see the first summit in singapore as they felt they got more from the president than likely pompeo or bolton so trying to divide the president from other members of the cabinet. liz: socket is secretary of state likely stays so does mr. bolton, how does north korea react going forward that these two gentlemen stay in the negotiations? >> well some of the themes that north korea continues to push including a speech last week by kim jong-un are taking the high ground, that it's only because of the u.s. hostile policy that we
