1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: So today Trump met with Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammad

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,679
Ben Salmon NBS and just when you thought that things

3
00:00:07,719 --> 00:00:12,199
couldn't get worse, well they did. Today's presser. It reminded

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,800
me of Trump's relationship with Satan in the animation of

5
00:00:15,919 --> 00:00:20,239
South Park, literally kissing the foot and asking for compliments

6
00:00:20,359 --> 00:00:25,320
from someone who is known as being corrupt. Welcome back

11
00:00:39,079 --> 00:00:42,079
Trump claimed that he's proud of Ben Salmon for the

12
00:00:42,119 --> 00:00:46,799
work that he's done on human rights, really human rights

13
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,920
Saudi Arabia. Play the clip.

14
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:52,399
Speaker 2: I'm very proud of the job he's done.

15
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 3: What he's done is incredible in terms of human rights

16
00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:00,640
and everything else. And he's the Crown Prince, future king,

17
00:01:01,399 --> 00:01:04,959
and I just want to pay my greatest respect to

18
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,319
your father King, who is an amazing man.

19
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:09,359
Speaker 2: I met him early on.

20
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me be very clear about something when it

21
00:01:12,439 --> 00:01:18,439
comes to human rights Saudi Arabia, maybe maybe beginning to

22
00:01:18,599 --> 00:01:25,040
get I don't know advancements, but Saudi Arabia is far

23
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:32,879
from a country that has human rights. Women still not denied,

24
00:01:33,359 --> 00:01:35,560
many of whom back and forth, back and forth, whether

25
00:01:35,599 --> 00:01:41,040
they're even permitted to drive, own land, have money, work

26
00:01:41,079 --> 00:01:45,480
by themselves. Reporter goes on and asks Trump and Ben

27
00:01:45,599 --> 00:01:51,840
Salmon about the killing of journalist Jamal Koshogi. Notice this

28
00:01:51,959 --> 00:01:55,480
is really is upsetting. It's upsetting for several reasons. One,

29
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,680
Jamal Koshogi's first cousin is actually a very good friend

30
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:07,640
of mine. Trump defense Saudi Arabia over US intelligence Again,

31
00:02:07,959 --> 00:02:13,039
I want to remind people that Jamal Koshogi had US citizenship.

32
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,159
Play the clip fred.

33
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,719
Speaker 3: Is it appropriate, mister President, for your family to be

34
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,960
doing business in Saudi Arabia while you're president?

35
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 2: Is that a conflict of interest? And your Royal highness?

36
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: The US intelligence concluded that you orchestrated the brutal murder.

37
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 2: Of a journalist.

38
00:02:27,439 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 3: Not eleven families are furious that you are here in the.

39
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,199
Speaker 2: Overlonge who watched the Americans? Who are you? And the

40
00:02:33,199 --> 00:02:35,199
same team as who you will? How a? The ABC

41
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,000
NEWSIR you with who ABC NEWSIR fakeness?

42
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 3: ABC fakeness, one of the worst, one of the worst

43
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,400
in the business. But I'll ask you a question. I

44
00:02:43,439 --> 00:02:45,560
have nothing to do with the family business. I have

45
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,879
left and when I've devoted one hundred percent of my energy,

46
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,199
what my family does is fine. They do business all over.

47
00:02:52,479 --> 00:02:54,199
They've done very little with Saudi Arabia.

48
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:54,879
Speaker 2: Actually they could.

49
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,599
Speaker 3: I'm sure they could do a lot, and anything they've

50
00:02:57,599 --> 00:02:59,360
done has been very good. That's what we've done. We've

51
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,879
built that in his business for a long time. I've

52
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,479
been very successful. I decided to leave that success beee

53
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,960
behind and make America very successful. And I've made America

54
00:03:09,039 --> 00:03:11,560
more successful by far than it ever was.

55
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, as far as this gentleman is concerned, imagine imagine

56
00:03:16,599 --> 00:03:21,159
attacking ABC News because asking a question that we all

57
00:03:21,199 --> 00:03:25,560
know to be accurate, that Saudi Arabia played a part

58
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:30,759
in the nine to eleven destruction of and the death of,

59
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,000
you know, people here in New York, in Virginia and elsewhere.

60
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,719
I mean, how is this even fake news? Why would

61
00:03:39,759 --> 00:03:43,159
the President of the United States turn around and call

62
00:03:43,199 --> 00:03:47,240
it fake news when Americans were killed? And on top

63
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,319
of that, Jamal Kashogi, as I said before, who had

64
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:56,319
dual citizenship. He was also a US citizen, was violently

65
00:03:56,919 --> 00:04:02,000
killed and chopped up and alleged lee at the direction

66
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,240
of the man sitting there in the Oval office. So

67
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,800
sure it's understandable that nine to eleven victims are pissed off.

68
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,680
You know the question that when I saw that, that

69
00:04:12,879 --> 00:04:16,600
ran right through my mind. Howard Lutnik lost more people

70
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,079
than anybody as a result of Kanta Fitzgerald being in

71
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,399
the World Trade Center. I wonder how he felt. I

72
00:04:23,399 --> 00:04:27,399
wonder if he actually shook Muhammed Ben Salmon's hand, considering

73
00:04:27,439 --> 00:04:30,800
his brother perished in that event as well. Now Ben

74
00:04:30,879 --> 00:04:36,079
Salmon spoke about Koshogi saying that they did the necessary investigation.

75
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,360
They did it all. Play the clip.

76
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: About the jurors.

77
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:46,519
Speaker 4: It's really painful to here, you know, anyone that been

78
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:51,759
losing his life for you know, the purpose of nothing,

79
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,240
anegal Way, And it's been painful for us in Saudiaba.

80
00:04:55,319 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 2: We've did all the light steps of.

81
00:04:59,079 --> 00:05:03,079
Speaker 4: Investigation except on Saudi Arabia, and we've improved our system

82
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,680
to be sure that nothing happened like that. And it's

83
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,079
painful and it's a huge mistake, and you're doing our

84
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,920
best that this doesn't happen again.

85
00:05:13,079 --> 00:05:18,759
Speaker 1: So Saudi Arabia conducted an investigation controlled beginning to sound

86
00:05:18,759 --> 00:05:23,279
a little familiar, right, controlled by the Crown Prince, to

87
00:05:23,319 --> 00:05:27,399
make a determination if the Crown Prince had involvement in

88
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:33,720
the death and the murder of Jamal Kashogi. And not surprisingly,

89
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,360
the answer is no. But we will do better in

90
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,879
the future to make sure it never happens again. Now,

91
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,720
Ben Salman also spoke about nine to eleven, but his

92
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:48,439
sentiment seemed two along the lines, I'm sorry that that happened,

93
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,920
but play the clip just you.

94
00:05:52,879 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 4: Allow me to answer. You know, I feel painful about

95
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:02,079
you know, the families of ninety even in America. But

96
00:06:02,439 --> 00:06:05,480
you know, we have to focus on reality. Reality based

97
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,600
in CII documents and based on a documents that the

98
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,680
Laddin he used Saudi people and that event for one

99
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,519
main purpose is to destroy this relation, to destroy.

100
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,759
Speaker 2: The American Saudi relation. That's the purpose of miney event.

101
00:06:20,199 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 4: So whoever buying that that means they are hipping was

102
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:25,920
of the ladin purpose of destroying this relation. You know,

103
00:06:26,439 --> 00:06:29,000
that's strong relation between America and Sadi Abia. It's bad

104
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,279
for extremism, it's bad for tourism and we have.

105
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:39,639
Speaker 1: Well, okay, doesn't really again answer the question, but you know,

106
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:44,160
I get I get it very well crafted and has

107
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,399
some truth and legitimacy to it. Meanwhile, Trump then joked

108
00:06:48,399 --> 00:06:52,600
with the Crown Prince about fist pumps. Obviously we know

109
00:06:52,639 --> 00:06:53,839
why he played the clip.

110
00:06:54,680 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 5: That's another league, mister President, and they give a fist pump.

111
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,199
I grabbed that hand. I don't wear that hand has

112
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:06,120
been I grabbed that.

113
00:07:07,319 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I'm sure it's been several places. But mean well,

114
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,680
Trump then asked him, I can't imagine this. You have

115
00:07:16,439 --> 00:07:20,920
the Deputy Crown Prince Saudi Arabia there, Why not? Sure?

116
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,639
But he is there? And Trump, of course knowing the

117
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,120
answer in advance. You know, as they say, never ask

118
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,920
a question you don't know the answer to. Who's the

119
00:07:29,959 --> 00:07:32,959
best president for Saudi Arabia of all time? Play the

120
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,759
clip right and.

121
00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 3: We're walking, and I asked the Crown Prince, so outside

122
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,040
of Trump, outside of truck, because I blow everyone away,

123
00:07:43,519 --> 00:07:46,759
who was the best president for Saudi Arabia?

124
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,399
Speaker 2: And you could maybe it's an interesting answer.

125
00:07:50,879 --> 00:07:54,759
Speaker 4: It all is full to south It democrats, democrats, and

126
00:07:54,959 --> 00:07:57,639
re Regan. He's one of the historical president that have

127
00:07:57,839 --> 00:07:59,079
close ties with Saudi Arabia.

128
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 2: We've worked with all presidents, says.

129
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 4: All the way, that's out of.

130
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:05,959
Speaker 2: The league with the president.

131
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, why not. Trump then claimed that Ben Salmon

132
00:08:12,759 --> 00:08:16,439
told him that he inherited a mess. The United States

133
00:08:16,519 --> 00:08:19,399
was a mess, right because Ben Salmon is the expert

134
00:08:19,519 --> 00:08:20,879
on now US economy.

135
00:08:21,319 --> 00:08:24,879
Speaker 2: Play the clip, and we inherited a mess.

136
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,879
Speaker 3: You actually told me you thought the country was in

137
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,040
big trouble. I'm not going to use the exact word

138
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,879
that you use. I refuse to say that you thought

139
00:08:32,919 --> 00:08:34,960
our country was dead a year and a half, two

140
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:37,799
years ago, but a country was in trouble, and now

141
00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:39,240
we have the hottest country in the world.

142
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:40,159
Speaker 2: You said that.

143
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: Also, yeah again, did you see Latinik standing there sort

144
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:48,799
of staring at him? Sure? You really think Muhammad Ben

145
00:08:48,879 --> 00:08:52,759
Salmon said America was dead, that this country was over

146
00:08:52,879 --> 00:08:56,559
and done. It's why that they're begging for America's help

147
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,919
every year, year after year, to ensure that he run

148
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,360
doesn't wipe out the whole bin laden in, the whole

149
00:09:03,519 --> 00:09:07,639
Outsaud family. Meanwhile, the conversation took well, let's just say,

150
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:12,360
an intense turn when the same ABC reporter who asked

151
00:09:12,399 --> 00:09:18,360
about Koshogi asked about that's right. The Epstein Files played

152
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:19,080
the clip.

153
00:09:19,159 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 3: You got a psycho. You're a terrible person and a

154
00:09:24,639 --> 00:09:29,360
terrible reporter. As far as the Epstein Files is, I

155
00:09:29,399 --> 00:09:31,480
have nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. I threw him

156
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,600
out of my club many years ago because I thought

157
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,120
he was a sick pervert. But I guess I would

158
00:09:37,159 --> 00:09:38,840
turn out to be right. But you know who does

159
00:09:38,879 --> 00:09:43,039
have Bill Lynton, Larry Summers, who ran Harvard, was with

160
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,000
him every single night, every single weekend.

161
00:09:46,039 --> 00:09:48,519
Speaker 2: They lived together. They went to his island many times.

162
00:09:48,519 --> 00:09:49,320
I never did.

163
00:09:52,519 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 3: Andrew Weisman here. All these guys were friends of his.

164
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,799
You don't even talk about those people. You just keep

165
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,000
going on the Epstein file.

166
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's because you had I don't know, two

167
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,399
dozen survivors in the Capitol today, and you also had

168
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,759
the vote. Now Trump claimed, by the way, I'm not

169
00:10:10,799 --> 00:10:13,000
going to disclaim the fact. I don't believe he went

170
00:10:13,039 --> 00:10:15,480
on the island either. I know Trump for a decade

171
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:16,960
and a half and I've said it and I'll say

172
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,279
to it again today, tomorrow and every day. I just

173
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,480
don't think that what people think that Trump's involvment in

174
00:10:22,519 --> 00:10:25,919
those files have to do with sexual So what it

175
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,320
is that they're hiding again, I don't know. It's why

176
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,519
we desperately need the release of these files. But Trump

177
00:10:32,519 --> 00:10:34,840
claims that the Epstein files, and this is the part

178
00:10:34,879 --> 00:10:38,519
that's wrong, and his enablers should stop him from doing.

179
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,559
He keeps calling it a hoax to distract from the

180
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,559
twenty one trillion dollars that he's allegedly brought in play

181
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:47,080
the clip.

182
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,399
Speaker 3: You just keep going on the Epstein files, and what

183
00:10:50,399 --> 00:10:53,480
the Epstein is is a Democrat hoax to try and

184
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,679
get me not to be able to talk about the

185
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,240
twenty one trillion dollars that I talked about today.

186
00:10:58,759 --> 00:11:01,519
Speaker 1: It's a yeah, actually it was twenty eight trillion. And

187
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,120
where is this twenty one or twenty eight or thirty

188
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,519
eight or two hundred and fifty kajillion billion? Where is

189
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,360
it show the American people that we actually have it,

190
00:11:10,519 --> 00:11:12,879
Because I look, it's not like I just come to

191
00:11:12,919 --> 00:11:15,360
you and I just say shit. I actually go and

192
00:11:15,399 --> 00:11:18,080
I investigate. I spend hours and hours. I'm up at

193
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,200
four thirty in the morning looking for this stuff. And

194
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,600
I go onto the government's website. I don't see twenty

195
00:11:22,639 --> 00:11:27,600
one trillion dollars. I see a couple of billion from tariffs. Meanwhile,

196
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,879
where do you think those billions are coming from our pocket?

197
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:35,200
We're paying it. Tariffs are taxes, consumers pay tariffs. Just

198
00:11:35,279 --> 00:11:38,840
keep repeating it. But then again, we're having a good time.

199
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:43,240
In the Oval office of Trump then jokes that Ben Salmon, well, yeah,

200
00:11:43,279 --> 00:11:44,799
if he was really a good guy, he could have

201
00:11:44,919 --> 00:11:49,519
invested in Trump's big beautiful ballroom. Play that clip, and

202
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:50,600
it's going to be beautiful.

203
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 3: It's you know, it's a very popular thing what we're doing.

204
00:11:54,639 --> 00:11:56,720
And by the way, no government funds. It's all put

205
00:11:56,799 --> 00:12:00,600
up private money, all private money. And of the case,

206
00:12:00,639 --> 00:12:04,159
I think it's there's a restriction on foreign as. Otherwise

207
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:05,759
I could have asked you just for a check.

208
00:12:05,639 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: Okay, But yeah, that's really really funny. Meanwhile, Trump also

209
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,600
said that Bensalmon is going to invest on behalf of

210
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,080
Saudi of course, one trillion dollars into the US.

211
00:12:17,519 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 2: Play the clip, the biggest plants anywhere in the world.

212
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,639
Speaker 3: And I want to thank you because you've agreed to

213
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,399
invest six hundred billion dollars into.

214
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 2: The United States.

215
00:12:26,159 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 3: And because he's my friend, he might make it a

216
00:12:28,639 --> 00:12:30,000
trillion but I'm.

217
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:30,879
Speaker 2: Going to have to work on him.

218
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,919
Speaker 3: But it's six hundred We can count on six hundred billion,

219
00:12:35,399 --> 00:12:38,320
but that number could go up a little bit higher.

220
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, I don't know. We'll say, but.

221
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: Okay, like I said, I do investigation. Saudi Arabia has

222
00:12:44,639 --> 00:12:49,720
the nineteenth largest economy in the world, nineteenth. Their entire

223
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,480
economy is one point two This is twenty twenty five,

224
00:12:52,519 --> 00:12:55,919
by the way, one point two seven trillion dollars. So

225
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,080
they're basically going to take their entire GDP and invest

226
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,360
it in the United States of America. If you believe that,

227
00:13:02,799 --> 00:13:06,399
I have not one, not two, but three bridges here

228
00:13:06,399 --> 00:13:09,159
in New York to sell you. And finally, I do

229
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,639
want to end on a clip of Trump claiming that

230
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,200
he and Ben Salmon are on the same side of

231
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,879
every issue. Not a good look for the United States.

232
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,519
Play the clip a lot of jobs.

233
00:13:20,919 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 3: We have a lot of jobs. So I just want

234
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,200
to thank you. We've been really good friends for a

235
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,000
long period of time. We've always been on the same

236
00:13:27,039 --> 00:13:30,120
side of every issue. I think we've done a great

237
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,679
job in wiping out the nuclear capacity of Iran.

238
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:36,919
Speaker 2: Nobody else could have done that.

239
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, nobody could have done it because you didn't wipe

240
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,679
them out. And in fact, it's really Saudi that needs

241
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,360
the United States help more than Saudi can help the

242
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,960
United States as it deals with Iran, believe it or not,

243
00:13:52,799 --> 00:13:56,840
And as always, thanks for listening. Hey everyone, First of all,
