saudi arabia has been a key focal point as we look to the year ahead for middle eastern economies.ed by the chief middle east economist for bloomberg economics, and he joins us now from dubai. right to have you with us. let's talk about saudi arabia first. that crackdown has been going on for two months now. will the saudi economy come out of it stronger or weaker? well, it is probably going to come up stronger than 2017, not because of the corruption crackdowns. the main reason behind this is probably the government stimulus that is going to inject next year, but also we have the cuts in oil production as a result of the opec agreement, which hindered growth in 2017. that is likely to phase out in 2018. the economy is likely to become stronger, but not because of the corruption crackdown. in fact, that would be despite -- despite it. shery: one of those arrested is a global tycoon, a prince. how will that undermine foreign investor confidence in the saudi economy? that is the key point, because the corruption crackdown, while in the long-term, it might help the economy -- in the s

seriously so in college i started meeting people who were middle eastern exchange students and i was and still am a minister and would go up to them and tell them how awful they were that they beat their wives and they didn't believe in jesus so i was trying to convert them to christianity and they would explain to me well no that's not what islam says i mean some people are bad to women but islam is and and we do believe in jesus in fact we have an entire chapter on the mother of jesus of how he was born and all of his miracles so then i started learning more about islam and the more i studied it the more i liked it and it spoke to me. before that you're a christian now. that's amazing that's an easy testimony. and for me. i didn't change religion means i expanded on my understanding of my relationship with god isn't chilling overrating so you. know but it's very important profit and teacher in islam. because what's fascinating is here sits two individuals from two totally different walks of life i'm a guy that was a dumb jock from long island new york whose dad was a public school

this decision is going to inflame our middle eastern allies, some of which are important like saudi arabiaordan who support we need to achieve middle east peace process. and that's another problem with this decision today which is symbolic only in doesn't make any real impact. it also is going to make it harder for us to achieve the peace process. >> harris: i want to remind everybody what we just had, the former israeli ambassador telling us about something completely oppositional with all due respect, david, about what this does moving forward. >> this is recognizing the historical fact that jerusalem is the capital of israel. it's also setting aside the fact that we have tried this for 22 years. we have tried the idea that if the united states only talks about naming jerusalem the capital but doesn't actually do it, maybe the peace process will move forward and that simply hasn't worked. what we have is a leader that's going to go out, back up what he says he is willing to do and actually do it. he's going to continue to move the peace process forward and if our peace process is built o

and broke today as a middle eastern arab talking about the middle east, but why not to talk about a concerned united states, legal resident of the united states, might i say. i mean, when will this stop? yesterday it was iraq. today it is iran. tomorrow it's something else, and this is like another justification for increasing and inflating the military budget. we talk about the spineless republican, a deal for trump, but we don't talk about the democrats who actually approved $80 billion in increase of military spending. america doesn't need that much money to spend on its military. it's like -- they are creating the demand and their supply. doing that, you know, people tell me, are you concerned about this? are you concerned how middle easterns of treated? no. as an american resident, like how so many -- problems, education, health, being cut just to feed the monster. positive feed the huge military budget. for what? does that benefit the american people? does that benefit us? it doesn't. it doesn't. >> i guess that's my point. there are a lot of people who didn't like the deal with iraq. a

losing clout on critical middle eastern issues. so what is the main fallout from the vote today in just this situation overall when you take into consideration that this resolution is non-binding and the fact that on the ground nothing changes the palestinians who have been living under israeli occupation for decades. the main fallout is one of us lit relinquishing leadership yet again on a critical issue president trump has come out from the day one of his administration appointing his son in law and a senior leadership role on the middle east peace process stating its importance as it has been a longstanding commitment of many administrations over the past several decades and yet now we're no longer seen as a neutral arbiter of the country the united states is not seen as able to provide good offices in this case and it's extraordinary because this is a very important week where we unveiled a national security strategy stating how important it is to advance our interests and values through multilateral bodies such as the united n

first of all, it is very difficult to keep american ground troops in any middle eastern country.the only place we have a significant number is kuwait. think kuwait. when there is not an emergency situation, also needed a status of forces agreement. they were willing and 2011 to sign a piece of paper, he or the foreign minister signed in 2014 when we came back and because it was an emergency situation and we did not worry too much about that. but in a peacetime situation is very hard to put troops on the ground in a place like that without the guarantees. but the remnants of that experience in 2000 and from what we are doing now in syria and iraq and elsewhere, i was as follows. we had, stu johns was my deputy as we prepared this. -- stuart jones was my deputy. we agreed we were going to sheet with his acknowledgment on all of the keeping troops out. with black soft, white socks, drones. we cannot get into that in detail it was a big package including a $14 billion fms program. we had bases all over the country that were disguised, bases that the us military was running. what happ
