mohammad bin salman has an ambitious internal agenda he's looking at over the next few decades, buzzfeel the need to consolidate power to enact the agenda? >> i think so. i had a chance to meet with mohammad bin salman for an hour in riyadh not too long ago and i think he's someone who doesn't like ambition and strikes me as genuine in his desire to reform his country. that being said, the reform agenda he has spearheaded, in his mind, i think, requires consolidation of power. this is now the old saudi is gone, this is mbs land, now, whoever is not on board with this reform process and also is not really investing in this is basically removed. >> schifrin: can mohammad bin salman rule from the top-down? can he reform from the top? >> he's incognito, basically, never been here before. our political system has never seen a president quite like donald trump, saudis have never encountered a would-be king, not king yet, a 30-something who has created an accretion of power which is unprecedented in the history of the kingdom, ruling a country of 33 million people and maintaining the status

the problem that mohammad bin salman faces and which also had reformers face is that they're going up against almost insurmountable odds because the entire financial and economic structure of the country works against it. and so, you can't simply wish a private sector into existence overnight. - increasing the private sector is critical. the difficulty there is that 2/3 of the public sector is saudi nationals and only a fraction of saudi nationals occupy the private sector. those kinds of shifts that you would need to see are so enormous, it's difficult to imagine the fact it happened in a 15-year time frame. - i don't think we can expect to see these very, very deep, conservative social traditions change overnight. they're gonna take a generation or two. - i don't see him as and agent of change. i don't see monarchy in general as a good model to enact the change because basically they are non-participatory, they don't represent as stakeholders, all the people, and they don't have venues with people to suppress their concerns and change laws and norms. a constitutional monarchy maybe

it is mohammad bin salman on making thebest decisions with advisors, but he does not see a situationembers meet and decide at the same time as one that is viable long-term. the more important message is also in terms of his tradition of revenues. i do not think mohammad bin salman is going to be necessarily winning the senior members of the royal family in the same way. on thei am curious personal front or the personality friend. it went -- the personality front. does that give you further clues what kind of a leader the prince is going to be, and how he is going to lead? reporter: i think it does. for one, he does not fear taking risks. this was very risky by any measure, and it has been very competitive the number of arrests involved and detentions. it tells me mohammad bin salman wants to become king and he is willing to commit to risky moves as part of the process. i don't think this necessarily tells us that mohammad bin salman, how people behave in the future beyond the short-term. part of what he has to do or thinks he has to do short-term is break the power structure to reall

mohammad bin salman has taken on all three pillars. but in doing so he is altering the very substance of the saudi regime. time will tell whether it will work. the greater puzzle and greater danger is that while taking on this bold and risky domestic agenda, the crown prince has also made a series of aggressive moves abroad. he has escalated saudi intervention in yemen, with air, land and sea blockades and missile strikes. he was hoping to stabilize the shiite dominated government. all of this is to fight back against eiran's growing influence. but for several years now, the saudis and americans have been in an unspoken alliance with hezbollah against the islamic state. the islamic state is being largely defeated by american backed kurdish forces and iranian backed shiia militia. it's turned into a disaster, creating a failed state on iran's border. the shiites in lebanon did not take the bait and so far they have seen the responsible party refusing to plunge the country into instability. but everywhere in the middle east, tensions are
