00:00Mr. President, Mr. President, is it appropriate,
00:02Mr. President, for your family to be doing business
00:05in Saudi Arabia while you're President?
00:06Is that a conflict of interest?
00:08And, Your Royal Highness, the U.S.
00:10intelligence concluded that you orchestrated
00:12the brutal murder of a journalist.
00:149-11 families are furious that you are here
00:16in the Oval Office.
00:17The President, who are you with?
00:18The President, who are you with?
00:19The President, and the same to you, Mr. President.
00:20The President, who are you with?
00:21The President, I'm with ABC News, sir.
00:22The President, you're with who?
00:23The President, ABC News, sir.
00:23The President, fake news.
00:24ABC, fake news.
00:25One of the worst, one of the worst in the business.
00:27But I'll answer your question.
00:29I have nothing to do with the family business.
00:31I have left, and when I've devoted 100% of my energy,
00:35what my family does is fine.
00:37They do business all over.
00:39They've done very little with Saudi Arabia, actually.
00:41I'm sure they could do a lot.
00:43And anything they've done has been very good.
00:45That's what we've done.
00:46We've built a tremendous business for a long time.
00:48I've been very successful.
00:50I decided to leave that success behind
00:52and make America very successful.
00:54And I've made America more successful by far
00:56than it ever was, and that it ever could have been,
01:00no matter who was President.
01:01There would be nobody bringing in $21 trillion.
01:04That I can tell you right now.
01:05As far as this gentleman is concerned,
01:08he's done a phenomenal job.
01:09You're mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial.
01:13A lot of people didn't like that gentleman
01:15that you're talking about.
01:16Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen.
01:19But he knew nothing about it.
01:20And we can leave it at that.
01:21You don't have to embarrass our guests
01:23by asking a question like that.
01:24The Pressel- I feel painful about, you know,
01:31families of 9-11 in America.
01:35But, you know, we have to focus on reality.
01:37Reality, based on CIA documents
01:39and based on a lot of documents,
01:41that Osama Bin Laden used Saudi people in that event
01:45for one main purpose, is to destroy this relation,
01:49to destroy the American-Saadi relation.
01:51That's the purpose of 9-11.
01:53So whoever buying that, that means they are helping
01:56Osama Bin Laden's purpose of destroying this relation.
01:59He knows that strong relation between America
02:01and Saudi Arabia, it's bad for extremism.
02:03It's bad for terrorism.
02:04And we have to approve him wrong
02:08and to build our relation,
02:09continue developing our relation.
02:11It's critical in the safety of the world.
02:12It's critical against extremism and terrorism.
02:15About the journalists, it's really painful to hear,
02:20you know, anyone that's been losing his life for,
02:24you know, no real purpose or nothing in a legal way.
02:28And it's been painful for us in Saudi Arabia.
02:30We've did all the right steps of investigation,
02:35et cetera, in Saudi Arabia.
02:36And we've improved our system to be sure
02:39that nothing happened like that.
02:41And it's painful and it's a huge mistake.
02:43And we are doing our best that this doesn't happen again.
02:46Mr. President, Mr. President, this side, Mr. President.
02:48The Press- Thank you, Mr. President.
02:50The Crown Prince has been instrumental
02:52in helping lifting the sanctions on Syria.
02:56Will there be any joint investment
02:59between the U.S. and Syria?
03:00And will you visit Damascus in Syria?
03:02The President- Are you from Syria?
03:03The Press- No, but I'm...
03:04The President- Where are you from?
03:05The Press- I'm from Palestine.
03:07The President- Oh, you're making a lot of progress, huh?
03:09The President- They like me, the Palestinians like me.
03:14The Palestinians are doing very well, actually.
03:16I think we're working very closely with a lot of people
03:18that make everybody happy, including Israel,
03:20the Palestinians, and everybody.
03:22That's very interesting.
03:24No, I think that, I will tell you, the Crown Prince
