Which way is the fly overhead?
There's official video.
Jesus.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Oh no.
I'm just somebody else. I don't even know who it was, but it's really interesting.
Thank you guys.
Yeah. So, uh, she's always... I got to run.
Seems like someone really left.
Great. Oh, yeah.
Uh they were very happy with I know that as far as like... Yes.
She's coming to be the one to apologize to me.
What was that spot?
I think it's like the other video.
And she said something.
I went see my doctor said, she does she really... exhausting is the better person.
Yeah, that's good advice.
21 already.
You are a gun. So they have to get them to... And like there's a 5sec.
Oh my god.
I don't want to stay for my shot. I'm going to get off away from everybody roll.
Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States.
Hey, woo! Yay! There we go.
Hey, hey, hey. Where I am. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey.
Okay, perfect. Let me know what I can do right now.
Hey guys, just providing an update. has a little bit of a time uh to break down. We get ready to go into the beyond South should be on here.
What's that?
Yeah. So, I'm just... But they have just an update still get that shot.
What do I need to do here?
Hey guys. Yeah, let's try. Okay. I'm...
Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States.
Hey, hey, hey. Hey. What the... There we go.
Company is one of the perpetrators. And I'll tell you something. I'll tell you something.
So why not just sign it?
I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and it's so wrong. And we have a great commissioner, the chairman, who should look at that because I think when you come in and when you're 97% negative to Trump and then Trump wins the election in a landslide, that means obviously your news is not credible and you're not credible as a reporter. So, I've answered your question. You should go and look at the Democrats who received money from Epstein, who spent their time. Larry Summers was with him all the time. That creep, the fund guy, was with him all the time. What's his name?
Who? Reid Hoffman. I don't know Reid Hoffman, but I know he spends a lot of money on the radical left. Reid Hoffman, in my opinion, should be under investigation. He's a sleazebag. And those are the people, but they don't get any press. They don't get any news. And you're not after the radical left because you're a radical left network. But I think the way you ask a question with the anger and the meanness is terrible. You ought to go back and learn how to be a reporter. No more questions from you. Who else has a question?
Prince, very quickly, I want to ask you, how much money is Saudi Arabia giving for Gaza reconstruction?
Well, we are on discussion about that. Still there is no amount being... it'll be named, but we will definitely help.
Yeah, he's gonna... it's very important to him. And a quick follow-up: the international security force, given your pledge there would be no US boots on the ground. What is the US role going to be in that and how do you sort of ratify the allegations that this could undermine Palestinian sovereignty and even the path to state?
Look, I think we're going to get along great with the Palestinians and we, you know, we know their leadership. We just had a very, you hate to say war, but it was a war. Very, very successful. And you could say really it was on behalf of everybody. We did that on behalf of everybody and the outcome was extraordinary because we have the best pilots, the best equipment, the best planes, the best everything. And Israel bought the best equipment. They bought it from us. Everything's from us. It all starts here. This office, I was talking to the crown prince a little while. You walk into this office for somebody from the outside, the Oval Office, it's the most powerful place in the world. You're standing right now in the most powerful place in the world. And no matter how big you are, these are the biggest people, the richest people. They walk into this office. It's special, isn't it? Look at him. He's so happy to be here. But you walk into this office. It's the Oval Office. And we've done a lot of good with this office. I've stopped actually eight wars. I appreciated your question before, but I've actually stopped eight wars. I have another one to go with Putin. I'm a little surprised at Putin. It's taken longer than I thought, but we stopped India and Pakistan. I could go through the list. You know the list better than I do. I'm very proud. And I stopped one that was almost ready to start again. You know, there's one that was ready to start and they're doing very well. So it all took place right here in the Oval Office whether by telephone or whether they came in. Many of these leaders have come in and you know they signed their peace deals right here in the Oval Office. So no matter if it's the biggest business people in the world or the greatest leaders in the world, the biggest leaders in the world, like the gentleman on my right, everybody walks into the Oval Office and they say, 'Wow.' And now, by the way, the Oval Office is in the kind of condition that it should be in. Whether you look at the walk or the marble floors or anything down the road, we're fixing the White House and we're building one of the greatest ballrooms ever to be built. You know, we have an event tonight and we're gonna have about 118 people because we have a very small room. For 150 years, they've wanted a ballroom and now you're going to get a great ballroom. And I have to say, I probably made a lot of enemies because in your honor, we're having a dinner tonight, a beautiful dinner tonight. And we have a very small room, right? It's called the East Room. And it's beautiful. It's lovely, but it's like for a little cocktail before you go into a ballroom. It's a very small room. They've wanted a new ballroom for 150 years. We could have sold the big ballroom out three times in honor of this gentleman. So, I made a lot of enemies because I have a lot of people that are invited tonight or are unable to come because of the size constraint. But, you know what we'll do before I leave office? We'll have another dinner because we'll have it ready long before I leave office and it's going to be beautiful. It's a very popular thing what we're doing and by the way no government funds, it's all put up private money, all private money. And in the case, I think there's a restriction on foreigners, otherwise I could have asked you just for a check, okay? But there's a restriction. These are all private individuals that put up a lot of money to build the ballroom. Not one penny is being used from the federal government. So it's really a nice thing but I look forward to it. I just pointed out if this would be a perfect night to have that ballroom open, Susie. If we had that open, we'd have a lot of people very happy. Right now, we have a lot of unhappy people because they all want to be with us tonight to honor this great man. Thank you all very much. Thank you.
Thank you. Everybody press, let's go. Thank you, press. Thank you. Let's go. Everybody.
Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States.
Well, thank you very much everybody. We have an extremely respected man in the Oval Office today and a friend of mine for a long time, a very good friend of mine and I'm very proud of the job he's done. What he's done is incredible in terms of human rights and everything else. And he's the crown prince, the future king, and I just want to pay my greatest respect to your father, King, who is an amazing man. I met him early on. He greeted me at the airport at an age that was pretty high up there and it was about 117 degrees and he was standing on the red carpet as I came out of the plane. And he's amazing. And when I met his brilliant son who was at the Oval Office shortly thereafter and you came in representing the country and I called the father I said this guy is fantastic and I don't know if that helped you or hurt you but obviously it couldn't have hurt too much because here you are, right? But we had a great meeting and the offices changed quite a bit and we inherited a mess. You actually told me you thought the country was in big trouble. I'm not going to use the exact word that you use. I refuse to say that you thought our country was dead a year and a half, two years ago, but a country was in trouble and now we have the hottest country in the world. You said that also. And we do. The United States is right now the hottest country in the world. And between the tariffs and the election, November 5th election, we've done things that nobody can believe. $21 trillion will be the amount invested in the United States or committed to invest in one year. So I'm here nine months we're up to almost $18 trillion. Biden as an example, the Biden administration, if you call it that, it's not to me, it was the Biden lack of administration. They were less than 1 trillion for four years. We're going to be 21 trillion for one year. I think that's hard to believe. The biggest in history was a certain country, 3 trillion. We're going to be 21 trillion. On top of that, prices are coming down. We inherited a mess with high prices. The worst inflation in the history of our country. We had inflation that was a single four years, the worst inflation in the history of the United States. Gas prices through the roof. And that's after destroying our petroleum reserve, which was meant for wars and big emergencies, not to try and win an election. They opened up the reserves so that people get $3 less in gasoline. And it didn't work. They got about three cents less because as big as those reserves are, they're peanuts when you're talking about that kind of traffic. And we're rebuilding the reserves. We're doing all of this and we've done a job. We're also bringing down prices very substantially and we've already brought them down very, very substantially. Gasoline is way down. I think you'll be seeing $2 gasoline but we're now at 2.50, 2.45, some are lower than that. It was $4.50, $5, $6, 3.50, 3.75 under Biden, all different numbers but way high. And we have energy way down. But the biggest thing to me, because I know what it means in jobs, is the fact that we're at over 17 trillion dollars, Scott, and we expect to be around 20, 21 trillion in one year. And that's many times bigger than in history. The highest number was $3 trillion. And we're going to be at 21 trillion. That means new plants, new AI, new auto plants. We have auto plants coming in from Canada, from Mexico, from Germany, from Japan. Toyota just agreed to invest 10 billion dollars on new auto plants, all American workers. We've never been in a position like this. You can go back to the beginning. Our country has never been in a position like this. And it really is because of the fact that we use tariffs to bring all this money in. And you're going to see the results in a year when these plants start to open up. We have more plants under construction now than at any time in the history of our country. And these are big plants. These are the biggest plants anywhere in the world. And I want to thank you because 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 them. But it's 600. We can count on 600 billion. But that number could go up a little bit higher. Yes, sir. I don't know. We'll see. But we appreciate it very much. 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. Lot of jobs. We have a lot of jobs. So I just want to thank you. We've been really good friends for a long period of time. We've always been on the same side of every issue. I think we've done a great job in wiping out the nuclear capacity of Iran. Nobody else could have done that. No other president would have done it. We had the pilots in the Oval Office right here. We were celebrating a very successful attack. So I had them in with that beautiful B2 bomber that's over there. And they said, 'Sir, for 22 years we practiced this attack. Our predecessors, these were very young guys, so 22 years. They said, our predecessors and us practiced the attack on Iran, but no president ever gave us the go-ahead.' Three times a year, they went out and they practiced the attack. Nobody let us do it until you came along. And I let him do it because it was the right thing to do. You can't have a nuclear Iran. And so, we put you in a very good position. But I just want to say it's an honor to be your friend and it's an honor that you're here and if you'd like to say a few words but thank you very much.
Well, thank you Mr. President. This relation has been for about nine decades and we've been working together for a long time but today it's a very important time in our history because there is also a lot of things that we are working on in the future. We believe in the future of United States of America, we believe in what you're doing Mr. President, really creating a lot of good things and good foundation to create more economical growth, more business in America and it will also work for the world peace. I believe Mr. President in the today and tomorrow we're going to announce that we are going to increase that $600 billion to almost $1 trillion of investment, real investment and real opportunity by details in many areas and the agreement that we are signing today in many areas in technology, in AI, in earth materials, magnets, etc. that will create a lot of investment opportunities.
You are doing that now? You're saying to me now that the 600 billion will be 1 trillion?
Definitely, because what we are signing it will facilitate that and go ahead.
You work hard. No, that's great. That's great. We're doing numbers that nobody's ever done. And in all fairness, if you didn't see potential in the US, you wouldn't be doing that. You don't want to lose money.
As you said, Mr. President, it's the hottest country on the planet. But what you're creating is not about opportunity today. It's about also long-term opportunity in the United States of America that will affect American economy positively in the next coming decades preparing the right foundation of emerging technologies that's a game changer for America in a good way and we want to be part of it.
Yeah, we're doing really well. And this, you know, you don't see what we're doing so much because we have, although the construction industry sees it, if you look at Caterpillar, who's been incredible, the tractors, everything else, the numbers that we're doing in construction are unbelievable. You know, some of the plants that we're building, AI, and they're building their own electric with the plant. I gave them the right to build their own electric with the plant because no country, frankly, will have this. China's working very hard to produce enough electric, but we're beating China substantially at AI, which is a big thing, and we had a great meeting two weeks ago with President Xi. But on AI, we're doing well. And I have a man, David Romel. David, could you say a few words about what you're seeing on the job front and all of the, some of the assets and also how we've been helped by the Saudis in terms of the kind of investment they've made? Please.
Yeah, most certainly. Thank you for the opportunity. I am a facility leader for GE Vernova and if you look at the landscape for Vernova investment, over $750 million in the US focused on true manufacturing jobs here stateside. We're looking at tripling the output of our Greenville, South Carolina facility where we make the gas turbines that are supporting US needs as well as the Saudi Arabia needs, right? So, real jobs, $300 million in gas investment resulting in over 500 pieces of new equipment being installed in the Greenville, South Carolina facility. That translates into roughly 1,800 jobs across the board for Vernova as we try to scale capacity to be able to meet this demand. Along with that, we're partnering with local communities to build the skill set that's required to meet these capacity needs. So that talent pipeline is incredibly important. So it's real jobs in the manufacturing space.
Well, you've been great and thank you very much. And we love that state. I won that state by record numbers. I won a lot of states by record. Texas, a lot of them by Indiana. We're working with Indiana or something right now. We won that. We won a lot of them by records, but that was one of them. I want to thank you very much. Say hello to everybody. Great job. You're doing a great job. Thank you. So just in wrapping up, we'll take a couple of questions, but I want to just tell you what an honor it is to be your friend, and I very much appreciate the investment of now $1 trillion. Okay, that's great. I'm glad you got that out. I didn't want to be the one to tell him, but that's great news.
You keep increasing, Mr. President. And each time the opportunities are just increasing more and more.
Well, the opportunities, right? You know, we're doing better. Even if you look back six months ago, I mean, now all of a sudden you feel even better. So, and I think we're only going to go in one way. Does anybody have any questions?
Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President, have you approved the export licenses for advanced chips to Saudi Arabia? The export license.
We are working on that. We're negotiating that right now. Marco, do you want to talk about that or Scott?
Well, I mean that's part of what we may have announcements on that later today. But that's what we've been working on is the mechanics by which something like that could be achieved. It's part of the broader process, part of this broader engagement and cooperation between our two countries.
Certain levels of chips. Yeah. And for the crown prince, Rohinas, you're talking about a trillion dollars of investment. Could the kingdom continue to do that with oil prices in the mid-60s?
It's not creating fake opportunities to, you know, please America, please Trump. It's real opportunities. For example, when you ask about the AI and the chips, Saudi Arabia have a huge demand, a huge need of computing power and we're going to spend in the short term around $50 billion by consuming those semiconductors for our needs in Saudi Arabia and with the agreement that we're going to have with America that will allow us to focus that consuming power in short term by $50 billion from America and long term with hundreds of billion dollars in the long term. So, there's a lot of real opportunities that fit to our need in Saudi Arabia and fit to our investment strategy.
Mr. President, is it appropriate for your family to be doing business in Saudi Arabia while you're president? Is that a conflict of interest? And your royal highness, the US intelligence concluded that you orchestrated the brutal murder of a journalist. 9/11 families are furious that you are here in the Oval Office. Why should Americans trust you? Who are you with? And the same to you, Mr. President.
You're with who? ABC News, sir. Fake news. ABC fake news. One of the worst, one of the worst in the business. But I'll answer your question. I have nothing to do with the family business. I have left and I've devoted 100% of my energy. What my family does is fine. They do business all over. They've done very little with Saudi Arabia actually. They could, I'm sure, do a lot. And anything they've done has been very good. That's what we've done. We've built a tremendous business for a long time. I've been very successful. I decided to leave that success behind and make America very successful. And I've made America more successful by far than it ever was. And that it ever could have been no matter who was president. There would be nobody bringing in $21 trillion. That I can tell you right now. As far as this gentleman is concerned, he's done a phenomenal job. You're mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it and we can leave it at that. You don't have to embarrass our guest by asking a question like that.
Just, you ask Mr. President, you allow me to answer. You know, I feel painful about families of 9/11 in America. But you know we have to focus on reality. Reality based on CIA documents and based on a lot of documents that bin Laden, he used Saudi people in that event for one main purpose is to destroy this relation, to destroy the American-Saudi relation. That's the purpose of 9/11. So whoever buying that, that mean they are helping Osama bin Laden purpose of destroying this relation. He know that strong relation between America and Saudi Arabia, it's bad for extremism, it's bad for terrorism and we have to prove him wrong and to build our relation, to continue developing our relation. It's critical in the safety of the world. It's critical against extremism and terrorism. About the journalist, it's really painful to hear anyone that been losing his life for no real purpose or not in a legal way and it's been painful for us in Saudi Arabia. We've did all the right steps of investigation etc. in Saudi Arabia and we've improved our system to be sure that nothing happened like that and it's painful and it's a huge mistake and we are doing our best that this doesn't happen again.
Mr. President, thank you Mr. President. The Crown Prince has been instrumental in helping lifting the sanctions on Syria. Will there be any joint investment between the US and Syria? And will you visit Damascus?
From Syria? No, but where are you from?
Oh, making a lot of progress, huh? Very good. They like me. The Palestinians like me. The Palestinians are doing very well, actually. I think we're working very closely with a lot of people that make everybody happy, including Israel, the Palestinians, and everybody. It's very interesting. No, I think I will tell you the crown prince called me and he specifically asked me if I would lift the sanctions on Syria because he wants to see Syria make it. As you know, the leader of Syria was just here. We had a great meeting and he's a strong guy and I guess you'd need a strong person to run it and I think Syria's made tremendous progress and we did lift the sanctions at the request of the crown prince. Also the president of Turkey, Erdogan, called me specifically, he said, you know, if you don't lift the sanctions, Syria doesn't have a chance. If you do, they have a very good chance and between the two of them and some others I lifted the sanctions and the results so far have been pretty good.
I ask you a question about the F-35s that are being sold to Saudi Arabia. Are these the same ones that are being used by the Israeli military? And if so, how does that allow for the qualitative military edge for Israel? And then I want to ask you because you brought up the plight of the Palestinians. Are you aware of relocation flights to South Africa that are taking place right now?
