to respond to this pick and if some of the rhetoric is actually something that the president-elect does support and does try to implement, how about saudi arabia and the other allies react? it s a paradox. israel s relations with egyptians, with saudis, with the emrat t emiratis are probably closer now. injecting the jerusalem issue into this as a time when mr. trump is trying to create an p anti-iran yap coalition and perhaps even pursue a regional approach to peace making is going to screw this up big time. and i suspect it s broader than just moving the embassy. the israeli/palestinian peace process is dead, but still resonates greatly among america s security partners and allies. and i think this appointment will both confuse and confound key arab states.
rates to lower, it doesn t have the strength to do anything so that s the net result. the fed would like to add 25 basis points, a quarter of a percent now, maybe do it again in a few months without causing any damage to the economy. as you can see, this market is open largely flat. down a few points. this could change. you could get that 20,000 today. but the point of the fed is don t do anything that s really going to hurt anybody at the moment. the fed, the market, no one likes any big jerky moves. that s right. the fed isn t going to start. ali velshi, thanks so much. i m going to turn now, donald trump, what is he doing today? he s meeting with the titans of technology. silicon valley ceos like tim cook, jeff besos and elon musk. it could get a little awkward as many of them did not support trump during the campaign. remember, jeff bezos, he owns the washington post. joining me is curt wagner. curt, is this about peace
tonight the ap reports that the trump organization has shut down four of those companies that he set up to do the saudi deal. so if you do the math, eight and you take away four, that means he s shutting down four of the eight companies that he set up to do that saudi deal. are the other four companies still alive? is the incoming president and his family in talks with saudi officials about hotel deals that will personally benefit them while they re also making decisions about middle east peace making, middle east policy making, u.s. military matters? i mean, we have no idea. they don t tell us. for now, though, presumably there are interests all over the world and all over our own country looking to do what previously was very hard to do, looking for ways to grease the palm of the u.s. president. that used to be a really hard thing to do. now it s easy. i mean, if you re a business, you can advertise on the president s new tv show that is going to start airing in january. that will gr

he received by republican political officials in ohio. you have seen quite a bit of peace-making by donald trump in terms of his cabinet selections, reaching out to mitt romney. does that happen in ohio today or does trump use his speech to continue to hammer home some of the divisions in the republican party. yeah. hadn t thought of that. john berman thinks of everything so is john kasich mentioned while he s in ohio. that s an interesting thought. no doubt about that. it depends whoever gets into donald trump s ear before he takes the podium and says either keep it in check or let it rip. i think that literally, roll the dice on this one. because who knows which way he s going to go. we say that every time mark preston comes on tv. can we talk about the cabinet for a second? the washington post says it s the richest cabinet in modern history. it s ten times the cabinet, initial cabinet of george w. bush. actually, read this. this is good. george w. bush s first cabine
