I'm going to one-up you.

What are the implications of the $600 billion investment in the U.S.?

Unknown 0:01

I want to share what the president said right now. You've agreed to invest $600 billion into the United States. And because he's my friend, he might make it a trillion, but I'm going to have to work on him. So Saudi is going to be investing at least $600 billion. And that means investments in plants, in companies, money on Wall Street. And what it really means for everybody that really counts is jobs. A lot of jobs. We have a lot of jobs. That's level set. Annual foreign investment in total in the United States has never exceeded 500 billion.

When the president talks like this, it's as though I'm watching Austin Powers and Dr. Evil with one million.

Unknown 0:48

Like this is straight up nonsense. And he's saying it from our Oval Office. And I'll talk about Saudi Arabia in the region. There's a long history of Saudi Arabia promising to sort of solve problems that they after 9-11, they were going to, you know, bring the Taliban to heel and end all that. Twenty years later, U.S. troops leave and are humiliated. And they have a long history of sort of not delivering. They went into Yemen. They were going to defeat the Houthis there. uh... several years ago that was a a mess as well and so today it been someone was very clear he did not agree to the abraham accords are not ready for that he raised the palestinian state that's that's his right he there will be no saudi troops the big

Unknown 1:33

Big, big issue now is what will be this stabilization force that will go in and disarm Hamas. If that doesn't happen soon, this ceasefire, which President Trump deserves credit for, could unravel. So I don't see the Saudis sort of delivering, you know, large amounts of reconstruction funds or ground troops or pushing other Arab countries to provide those ground troops. And that was what should have been the focus today, not a trillion dollars of investment that or a Trump-branded shopping mall in Saudi Arabia? You know, I think the country is very much worried about it. People are worried about their freedoms. You know, one of the things we're seeing in this data and exactly in what you said about what we're seeing and how people are being treated by ICE and why that number is 56%,

Unknown 2:24

not approving how it's doing its job is because it's violating people's rights and freedoms. And that means that can come for anybody to the point that there are U.S. citizens or people here with permission being literally experiencing beatings, having their human rights violated. And so I think it's very clear in this poll that there's also a divide. For people who feel threatened, and that's where we see that non-college educated white, where they feel threatened by whether or not they have a real opportunity in this country, we should be solving that. We should be making sure everybody has the ability to get a college degree and live a decent life. But what's happening right now is the division in the poll and the reason there's fear is because we are being driven apart rather than being united and held together and seeing our shared interests and needs and trying to figure out how to solve those.

Unknown 3:18

But instead, we're vilifying people. And in the end, it's going to impact all of our rights.

Salma Birayal 3:23

failing, you know, playing their trade. I mean, is it overreach? I have a hard time grasping how we got to this moment, Mark.

Steve Bannon 3:32

We got to this moment because Donald Trump is an autocrat and we can never forget this. You know, like he's an autocrat who does not care about anything. He doesn't care about the law. He doesn't care about the facts. He just wants power. And he is he is surrounded by sycophants. You know, a Justice Department that even had Jeff Sessions. I cannot believe I'm saying that even had Jeff Sessions as the attorney general would not have sent the letter that they sent.

Unknown 3:58

A conservative governor who had, you know, two ounces of common sense and listened to lawyers would not have then called a special session and engaged in what the reverend is 100 percent correct about, 100 percent correct about.

Steve Bannon 4:13

This was them injecting race.
