does honor to god. i m just wondering, steven, what do you make of that comment in light of what he has said in the past? it seems like a platitude now and of course, the saudis are pretty extreme themselves. their version of islam is pretty extreme and also inspired a certain amount of radicalism. but i take his point. i mean, trump has always talked about killing off isis. that seems to be his main interest. and in doing deals and saudi arabia is very useful for both reasons. and then he has made a big point throughout the campaign and still of about iran s interest and pleases the saudis enormously. to talk against extremism is hardly shocking and very good thing. what he is not saying is that
to his old rhetoric. steven, talk to me about iran here and what they are talking about and the relationship that may unfold from this part-time. well, everyone has made this contrast iran just having a pretty open election, reelecting a moderate president. and saudi government that still won t let women drive and doesn t have a democracy. iran, you know, is a very key player in the region. there is no question that the sunni states have been very, very upset with iran s reach and power. they were very eager to restrain iran s nuclear program and very worried about iran s missile program. iran has been backing hezbollah in lebanon and amass in gaza and in palestine.
media, he will be talking about. we have not wevent seen him tweeting and that often draws attention or get him in trouble. no question he is staying on the straight narrow on track and on script, at least so far on this foreign trip. martin? all right. jeff zeleny, we appreciate it so much. we continue to look at these live pictures. thank you for the update on what is happening there in riyadh. we want to talk to amish habani a director of an arab foundation and steven langer and amanda turkle of the huffington post. ali, let s start with you. we were just talking here. the president is speaking to 50 leaders of muslim countries but he is really speaking to the muslim world. so many more people are going to be watching this to see what he says. what do you personally feel you need to hear from this
