unique saudi rehabilitation program for islamic radicals that looks amazingly like a summer camp. at a campus, religious extremists swim to relax. play soccer and video games. the goal is to wean them off extremism in a friendly, secure environment. 15 of the 19 9/11 hijackers were from saudi arabia. the government says the rehabilitation program has largely been successful in diffusing the anger of these men. we try to find jobs for them, so we are doing our best that these guys become a normal people, live in this society. the saudi government gave suleiman $20,000 to furnish his apartment, and paid for him to get married. suleiman also offers a rare look
keep track of everybody. peter johnson jr., our legal analyst joins us live. you got to be kidding. they didn t have the dough to make sure the people who overstay their visas don t do something? no, it s a scandal of america. five of the 19 9/11 hijackers had overstayed their visas. we know from a study the investigative arm of the congress that they have a backlog about 1.6 million overstayed visas that they haven t even looked at. we know there s about 35, 36 million permissible visas every year. we know since 2006, how many raes have been made, steve doocy? i ll tell you, about 8,000 arrests. out of all the billions? perhaps 5 1/2 million people that have overstayed their visa here in the united states. whether for business or pleasure. there s the homeland security
department, thanks very much. let s get back to the breaking news out of libya and discuss it with the retired general joulwan, the former nato supreme commander. how concerned should the u.s. be that there might be al qaeda fighters among the rebel supporters? we have to be very careful about who comes to power. remember, this was a source of terrorists from 9/11, and so i think very to be very careful here, and we need to assess all that before providing arms or whatever other equipment we re going to give them. 15 of the 19 9/11 terrorists were saudis. were there any libyans, i don t remember? i understand that some of the terrorists were libyan. some of the actual 19? well, let me backtrack by saying those involved in terrorist acts have come from libya. we know that, and we know that a lot of the al qaeda who operated in iraq against u.s.
not touch any nation that the trump organization does business with. and more importantly, they are not the major sponsors of terrorism responsible for attacks against u.s. interests. you don t see pakistan on there. you don t see saudi arabia on there. those are countries that have sponsored acts of terrorism against us. so this is carefully crafted. it s designed to appeal to his base. and we have national security policy based on who he needs to appeal to for the next election. so i they s a good way to put it, designer racism. this is designed to keep out not people from countries that have attacked us in the past, but exactly as frank describes. 15 of the 19 9/11 hijackers were saudis. this is about fear to accumulate power. let s look at the contrast to the greatest president of the
criticized iran the day after iran held a presidential election in which you know, tens of millions of people, including women, voted. i was struck. i was inside arabia yesterday and i was instruction that the united states president was in the city talking about terrorist combination in the city of riyadh where osama bin laden was born. he was in the country from where 11 of the 19 9/11hijackers came. donald trump a new yorker. so there are ironies there. saudi arabia with a questionable human rights record, involved in a dirty war with yemen. and yet he is ticking off iran so much and also lumping as the united states does, hamas into the iranian backed groups at a time when he is trying to entice palestinians, possibly including hamas supporters, into some kind
