Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004): Saudi Embassy Guarded

The clip Saudi embassy guarded from Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) with James C. Moore

...the Watergate Hotel and office building...
...the Kennedy Center over there...
...and the embassy of Saudi Arabia.
Yeah.
How much money do the Saudis have invested in America, roughly?
I've heard figures as high as $860 billion.
Eight hundred and sixty billion?
Billion.
That's a lot of money.
A lot, yeah.
And what percentage of our economy does that represent?
It seems like a lot.
Well, in terms of investments on Wall Street in American equities...
...it's roughly 6 or 7 percent of America.
They own a fairly good slice of America.
Most of that money goes into the great blue-chip companies.
Citigroup, Citibank, the largest stockholder is a Saudi.
AOL-Time Warner has big Saudi investors.
So I read where, like, the Saudis have a trillion dollars...
...in our banks of their money. What would happen...
...if they pulled that trillion out?
A trillion dollars? That would be an enormous blow to the economy.
Can I speak to you for a moment, please, sir?
How are you doing?
Good, how you doing?
Steve Kimball with the Secret Service. We're just ascertaining information.
Are you doing a documentary on the Saudi Arabian Embassy?
No. I am doing a documentary, and part of it is about Saudi Arabia.
Even though we were nowhere near the White House...
...the Secret Service had shown up to ask us what we were doing...
...standing across the street from the Saudi Embassy.
We're not here to cause any trouble.
Okay.
You know. Is that...?
No, that's fine.
We just wanted to get some information as far as...
What's going on, yeah.
I didn't realize the Secret Service guards foreign embassies.
Not usually, no, sir.
No. Do they give you any trouble?
Saudis?
No comment on that.
Okay, I'll take that as a yes.
Good. Thank you very much.
