>> elise? >> well, listen, secretary pompeo, when this first happened, he did go out to saudi arabia and say to the crown prince, look, the future of you being the king is at stake. your future rule. he spoke to the king and said, listen, you really have to get your act together, whether it's about the issue of jamal khashoggi or his adventures, as david said, in yemen with the kidnapping of the lebanese prime minister, about some of these detentions. there's a lot of concern about this young prince that i think congress is starting to articulate their prerogatives when they're trying to call for the end of u.s. support in yemen. i think that there are a lot of concerns about saudi in general. the president is focusing on his relationship with saudi arabia, maybe to some extent jared kushner's relationship with saudi arabia. the u.s. relationship with saudi will withstand, whether they have some punitive measures or not. i think that nina's excellent reporting shows that there was some actions

here to discuss, margaret taleb and elise labott. elise, the president has it and some heat because of the decision to pull troops out of syria, not just from democrats but from republicans as well. today he broke a little bit of news because he said that he's sticking by decisions to keep troops in iraq, and he actually said that these troops in iraq could help the fact that this could change the situation by pulling troops out of syria. now optics aside, does this trip give the president a chance to reassert the foreign policy position on the world stage that the u.s. has? >> well, it does, but i don't think it's the foreign policy position that allies in the region want to hear. this was a decision that was not made in consultation with allies. there was no reassurance that it was going to be done in a way that would help allies prepare for what comes after. there's been a lot of concern that not just in syria but also in iraq isis still has remnants that could reconstitute and make it even more dangerous. the situation in iraq is

nick and elise are still here. david, take us through what you are reporting and its significance. >> well, one of the things we've really focused on and wanted to know since trump got elected was, how are foreign governments using trump's businesses, which he still owns, how are they using those businesses to try to influence trump? so first you want to understand which foreign governments are paying money to trump's businesses. this is a really big one. we looked at all these difference trips and figured out the saudis put six different groups of veterans up at trump's hotel. 500 rooms. at least $270,000 going into that hotel. >> david, it seems like this is icky on a couple levels. where does icky cross into illegal. the saudis sending american veterans to lobby for their legislative goals. i want to talk about that icky thing next but ask you without using the emoluments word where the president is in legal trouble with potential pay to play. i know we're way past normal with the trump family and their business

bush white house elise jordan, carol lee and former u.s. attorney and msnbc contributor joyce vance is with us as well. >> joyce, since we're talking about jared kushner i'm remind pd of what you said this weekend over a little meeting that jared had, we were all asking why bill clinton got an an airplane and sat there with loretta lynch who was in charge of the justice department who was investigating not bill clinton but investigating his wife. this weekend we have jared kushner inviting on the acting attorney general and actually kushner himself is under investigation. i certainly hope as much attention is paid to this as was paid attention when loretta lynch got on an airplane and talked to bill clinton because this is actually even worse because you've got the attacking -- well, the acting attorney general who has attacked the probe and actually a man who is being probed right now by mueller. >> yeah, it's actually entirely different situations. lynch's meeting with president clinton on the tarmac came near the end of that investigatio

elise jordan is with me, former aide to the george w. bush white house. she's also an msnbc political analyst and donna edwards, former democratic congresswoman from maryland joins me on this friday. just yesterday north carolina republican leaders apparently shifting, saying that they would support a new election if alleged fraud is shown to have changed the race. they had previously called on the board of elections to quickly certify the results. is that a signal to you that we're headed toward a redo? >> i think that there has to be a redo in this election. i mean, the fact is that there are so many ballots in question. the processes and the procedures in question, that it really calls into question the entire election, and keep in mind that robert pittenger who's a current congressman who lost to harris had complained about this to the gop back in that primary race, and so this is not something that's new, and i think it's really incumbent for us to be able to trust elections for harris not to be certified, not to be seated, and for there to be a new

elise? >> kevin, it was reported yesterday that secretary mattis was at the pentagon working away on christmas day. how is his shifting from his role at the pentagon at the start of the year going to change the united states and our alliances in this front? >> well, we don't know other than without a mattis, the military doesn't have the civilian leader out there being the protector of, you know, the status quo. protector of alliances. protector of things like this. like donald trump wants to change. we don't know what the new acting secretary shanahan is going to do about it. i think the pull out from syria is a couple things. it's not the obama doctrine. that was not to pull out and let regional forces doing the fighting for the united states. it was to fight limited wars, not the big large ground wars of the bush years because times have changed and so have public opinion and lessons have been learned. what was happening in syria was already the obama doctrine and already what trump said
