policy which is even more consistent than his behavior with russia is the saudis. he broke with american tradition to go there as his first act. he has sort of lavished praise on the man who according to u.s. intelligence agencies sent his goon squad to murder and hack to death with a saw an american newspaper columnist. at every turn, he has backed saudis. the war in yemen, on their iran policy. are you confident he is doing that because of his foreign policy judgment and not because of his bottom line? >> no, not at all. i think he is totally -- this is the same issue we see with vladimir putin, okay. there is something in the financial ties between the trump family and the saudis or trump interests or people associated with trump and the saudis that motives this very strange behavior. and in this particular case, we know that tom barrack is one of his largest donors. he is the chairman of the president's inaugural committee, and he's a confidante.
