I told you yesterday, within 24 hours, the Democrats would be blaming OPEC saying they were helping the Republicans.

The Saudis do need us.

My friend Rokana is correct that the Saudis depend on us for a lot of support.

But in addition, we have tools within Congress in terms of, you know, being able to,

for example, repeal sovereign immunity, which the Biden White House made, they didn't specifically say that,

but there was some mention in their press release about being able to use some of the tools that

Congress has to, for example,

repeal sovereign immunity from antitrust legislation that would allow us to punish
