| 0:00.0 | Kennell and Casey are on 93 WIBC and the White House National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, |
| 0:05.5 | said that President Biden does not currently intend to meet with the Saudi crown prince |
| 0:12.4 | at the G20 summit next month. This coming after the Saudi led OPEC group of oil producing nations |
| 0:20.7 | decided to cut oil. So Biden's not going to meet with him. He tried the fist bump last time |
| 0:26.8 | and that didn't work out too well. All right, let's play this audio and then I want to talk |
| 0:30.5 | about this because this is actually really important. President Biden, as you know, |
| 0:33.9 | faced criticism for his meeting with the Saudi crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, |

| 1:27.4 | with Trump. That was part of the piece of chords and things that Trump did. So funny how they're |
| 1:31.6 | trying to take credit for that. That, okay, that's let's push that out of the way. Saudi Arabia |
| 1:37.2 | and Joe Biden's destruction of our relationship with Saudi Arabia is a huge deal and not enough |
| 1:43.3 | people talk about it because are the Saudis killers? Yes. Are the Saudis people who do not respect |
| 1:51.6 | women the way we would like? Absolutely. Are the Saudis people who for years and years and years |
| 1:57.4 | have had blood on their hands for doing terrible awful things? Yes, absolutely. Are the human |
