There you're seeing Joe Biden arriving and that's MBS.
Leader of Saudi Arabia greeted with a fist bump,
Joe Biden has been criticized quite a bit understandably following that.
But Biden official was quoted as saying, we're focused on the meetings,
not the greetings.
See you say that.
But Biden fist bumped MBS.
That's not something he does organically.
They made that choice.
They made the choice to I don't even legitimize isn't even the right word
to bro around with the guy who ordered the brutal assassination of Jamal Khashoggi.
Let alone insert a billion crimes and terrible things.
Biden said that he would make MBS and
Saudi Arabia a pariah until they improved in these areas.
He was going to cut off the sale of weapons.
He was going to do all these things rhetorical and
substantive hit them where it hurts in terms of legitimacy as well as money.
And none of that has actually come true.
Now they can brush off some of the criticism but
there's a bit that I think is going to sting a bit more.
The surviving widow of Jamal Khashoggi put out a Photoshop tweet
mocking up what Jamal might have said upon seeing this.
And it says, hey potus, is this the accountability you promised for my murder?
The blood of MBS next victim is on your hands and
it's just knowing everything that we know about what happened to
Khashoggi seeing the fist bump there, the like collegial.
So friendly thing there.
Now, biden was asked about this and here is what he has to say.
>> We just heard from Jamal Khashoggi is wife who said after
this visit the blood of MBS next victim is on your hands.
What do you say to Mrs Khashoggi?
>> I'm sorry. She feels that way.
I was straightforward back then.
I was straight forward today.
>> Except that he wasn't.
He said they'd be pariahs and understandably so.
But now not so much.
Maybe it's for the oil.
It's for the defense partnership.
I don't know. We can debate the reasons, but
you don't fist bump with a pariah.
That's not really how that works.
>> Yeah, well, good news.
He loves Republicans and Jesse Waters on Fox News back him up and said,
what do you want gas at $10?
Let's just let the guy get away with it.
And then when Geraldo Rivera challenge Jesse Waters, Jesse Watters said,
yeah, you're right.
They also did 9 11, 15 of the 19 hijackers.
So that was bad.
But I still don't want higher gas prices.
So this is the one and so Jesse Waters agreed with Biden.
Go ahead Khashoggi I'm the murderer MBS who cares, who cares.
It's all about money.
That's the only thing that anybody rightly in America cares about and yes,
by right wing.
I also include Joe Biden for sure, right.
And so I want you to understand one quick thing.
They why did they do the fist bump?
That seems weird.
Right, Biden doesn't normally do fist bumps.
I guarantee you that they workshopped it and
they came up with that quota John read you.
Were focused on the meetings, not the greetings and I guarantee there was so
proud when they came up with that.
And then why the first bump?
Because Obama once got in trouble for doing a bow, a slight bow to the king.
So they weren't gonna do a bow even that might be custom in the Middle East, right.
And they and a handshake,
they probably felt like, that looks too congenial, right.
But they misplayed it because they don't know anything.
They're all frozen in time in the 1990s.
So they go, okay, maybe if we do a fist bump, that'll be a compromise.
No, it looks more friendly than a handshake.
But that's because they're knuckleheads that he didn't accidentally impromptu do
the fist bomb.
They planned that as if it was a good idea.
That's how out of touch they are.
>> Yeah, I mean that's it's just so
out of step this administration with from day one.
It's how did you not harness any of the youth that got you elected into
your messaging strategy?
It's unbelievable.
They are just day in and day out refusing to see what the actual people who
had energy and got this administration in power.
Yeah, and that's just such a crazy story.
How can a party that has so many different elites in different messaging strategies.
How is that? How you schedule this type of greeting and
yeah, it's just such an indictment of our whole system that now again,
as with our first story, the price of oil is being held above all of our heads.
And it's saying well, don't you want cheap gas?
Don't you want cheap gas?
Well now we're gonna be best friends with Saudi Arabia and MBS.
And also, you can't have any meaningful climate change.
And also we can't do any of this all because you are gonna be
paying $6 at the gas pump.
So it's they're making all of these equivalence ease and
something's gonna break soon.
It's we can't live like this.
>> Well, in terms of the climate, no long term,
we can't Jesse Waters, I think is a perfect avatar for the way
basically every conservative has talked about the gas crisis throughout this year.
They pretend to have an issue with the price being high and
there are some things that they will accept, supposedly to drop it.
Additional drilling, which of course is gonna help for 5, 10 years.
And even then the gas would just be sold on the international market would have
virtually no impact, paddling around with MBS and all that.
That's all totally fine,
stopping them from price gouging no windfall profits tax?
No, you can't do any of that.
Hey, he says it's fine to do this with Saudi Arabia cuz who wants $10 gas?
You know what will happen when gas is $10?
Jesse Waters still won't support transitioning to renewable energy.
So we could do that, we could have started doing that a decade, 20 years ago.
They will never actually accept that they like using the oil and and honestly,
the price being higher, just means they make more money.
So don't buy the supposed indignation.
