Jared Kushner

He has risen to that position over the last couple of years, and he's been a tremendous reformer for the country.

He's gone in and he's really modernized the economy.

He's put a lot more investment into the country.

He's marginalized the religious police, and he's really done a good job to bring modernization and a lot of reform.

So he's been a great reformer.

What he's like as a person is he's very high energy.

He's got tremendous candle power, very, very smart, incredibly well-read.

When he was younger, his father would give him a book a week and make him report on it on the weekend.

He was trained as a leader and as a politician.

really by his father.

He's not Western educated, so he grew up in the Saudi culture, and he's a real Saudi nationalist.

He loves their history, loves their heritage, has a deep understanding of the tribal nature of the region.

And his father was actually known to be a tremendous politician.

So when he was

governor of riyadh people who i speak to today about him say that if they had a full election he would have won in a landslide they say every time somebody went to the hospital he was the first person to call anytime there was a funeral he was the first person to show up he's a very very beloved leader um

Mohammed bin Salman, he was a businessman before he got into Crown Prince.

So he thinks really with a business mindset about how he runs the country.

And he's brought, I think, a different mindset and energy to the Middle East.

One thing I'll say that maybe that comes to mind here is that

I remember early on talking with him about all the different initiatives he was taking on.
