some of these jobs are in saudi arabia. the production of the weapons is being done in saudi arabia. it is shocking. most other allies do not have that kind of an agreement. i do think the average -- outrage of the saudis being so directed turning down the president, and hurting the american people make it hard for lobbyist of defense contractors to argue against an action has consequent is. -- consequences. when you look at mbs they are hoping for a return of donald trump. they need to be thinking of not what happens in the next 4 years in america, i was you everything in my power to make sure it is not a return of trump. regardless, they need to think of the strategy in the next 10 to 15 years. regardless of the act -- outcome of the 2024 election there is a generation of people in congress do not come from a tradition of seeing out -- saudi's as a cold war ally. they're reversing that by aligning with putin. they are eroding their goodwill in the congress that had accumulated over 40 years. someone who is more prudent, a

much of the debate within saudi arabia now is centered [indiscernible] for saudi arabia. having very much of this kind of diversified, or inconsistent position from the foreign policy of the u.s. toward saudi arabia really undermines any kind of action . and is seen by the study -- by the saudi regime as a winning point. as with other nations, saudi arabia continues to be led by and undeterred leader -- an undeterred leader. that could have an effect on the saudi peoples' rights and freedoms and this is a good time to act on it. >> terrific. thank you so much for those compelling remarks. you raise a lot of important details and issues, especially unconditionality. we will certainly return to that. i want to turn to you know. you co-authored a cfr report and a foreign affairs article this summer, arguing that washington should offer a strategic commitment to saudi arabia against iran, in return for saudi reciprocity on a number of issues, keeping oil prices low, ending the war in yemen, making peace with israel, improving its human rights record. i think it is obvious rih

s immediately freeze all aspects of co operation with saudi arabia. meanwhile, saudi arabia denied collaborating with russia to raise the price of oil right before americans said to the poles in their mid term elections. and saudi officials have been fighting back saying that politics had nothing to do with the decision. so as washington overreacting, is react over reaching or is saudi arabia, like many other countries around the world, recalibrating who it's friends and allies in the world are slowly drifting away from the u. s. and warming up to russia and china. today we're talking with allie, she hobby, a saudi commentator and former head of the arabia, foundation washington, d. c. he's the author of the saudi kingdom between the g hottie hammer and the iranian anvil. and daniel plaque, a senior fellow at the american enterprise institute, where she focuses on u. s. foreign policy towards the middle east. thank you both for joining me alley. let me to start out with you right now. it is rare that we've seen a foreign policy tizzy of the sort that we've seen after the decision by opec to cut

arabia that saudi arabia was going to do whatever they wanted. even if it's not in their interest. right under the account of what to do about right danny, i just want to ask you kind of that as we wrap this conversation up a forward looking question. if you want to measure the, the basically contraction of american power in the world. don't just look at your foes, look at your allies, that the allies behavior changes in the region as much as your their foes do. and i'm just interested in, in basically, as you look forward, is there any prospect at this autumn, you know, gets better or are we looking essentially at the disintegration of america's assets and relationships in the world in an ongoing kind of mess like we're seeing right now or do you see any hope on the horizon that we might be able to begin to get some of these, these things right from an american perspective. if you're asking a great question, i think and, and one that's very hard to answer. look the way. first of all, i want to see something just to address a little bit about wha

i now the saudi arabia the board, that legislation were that saudi arabia with them back. all right, i want to pull the now to the party. he's executive vice president at the quincy institute for responsible state craft. he's an authority on geo politics in the middle east, from iran to saudi arabia all the way the afghan is the intro to it's good to see you again. we have no confirmation from there. from by that he requested an increase in output. but what speaks for this all these, what speaks for them? not even if it had happened, what speaks for them? not wanting to give him what he requested? well, it's not just that they didn't care the president what he requested. it was very clear that at a minimum they requested been for no cost to be made for at least another couple of weeks. but reality is that matter in which this was don further fuels to suspicion, if not the confidence that this was gone specifically to harm biden, and to harm the democrats in the mid term elections. because at 1st the saudis were signaling that they made a little bit and then they said they

we have done so much for saudi arabia. it's what, what goals many of us in congress is the in gratitude. it's the ingratitude, the saudis need to come to their senses. they have committed a humongous blunder. our allies, someone who we have helped for decades should be trying to help the american people . instead, they're hurting the american people. and i am very hopeful that the president will act immediately. that was democratic senator richard blumenthal and congressman wrote, con, i'm talking about freezing arms shipments, possibly to saudi arabia, some u. s. all makers are angry with us all these over opec's refusal to increase oil production. white house officials is say that opec's decision to reduce output or drive up prices further putting more money in the pocket of russia. helping to finance vladimir putin's war against ukraine in the process that is prompting to bind administration to reevaluate its relationship with saudi arabia. here's the u . s. president. on right now, they're falling off of you have the s

with saudi arabia's actions being described as hostile to washington. meanwhile, the saudi minister of state says the u. s. itself is to blame for rising gas prices, which have nothing to do with crude oil supply. the idea of the told you to do this to harm the us or to be in any way politically involved this. absolutely not correct at all with due respect. the reason you have high prices in the united states is because you have a refining shortage that has been in existence for more than 20 years. you haven't built refineries in decades are to caleb mop. it has more details on re out as decision and the u. s reaction. well essentially we have opec announcing they will be reducing the oil output by $2000000.00 barrels per day. now that is rattling the circles of power in the united states. there is quite a bit of outrage. it's only been 2 days since the announcement already we're hearing the leaders of saudi arabia being described as back stabbers, putting a night in the back of the united states. here's what we've heard from unanswered questions about 911. the brutal murder of journal

supported by saudi arabia de facto opec. and washington is not happy. and you know that saudi arabia's for in the thirty's ministry just today, just a couple of hours ago that issued a statement suggesting that this is a total nonsense. that decision was motivated exclusively by cannot make reasons. but there was also an interesting warning in that statement. suggesting that they will not accept any dictates from anyone else, even though they strive for beneficial relations with all the countries, but they will not accept allegations and dictates from anyone else. and i think that sort of hints, the media reports about very intense pressure that the bite and ministration tries to level on the saudi arabia. on the eve of the crucial mid term elections, the person that ultimately didn't work. and i think that's also a nice illustration of where we are in the world today because saudi arabia, the representatives, were the just, i meant that you mentioned in moscow, they are buying russian oil for, rubles, despite all the americ

the white house has long crazed saudi arabia. as a strategic partner setting the country large amounts of weapons, just want to buy them once plating to make a pariah during his presidential campaign. from us congressmen bizarre also calling for a rethink of the countries relationship with a pe class members with saudi arabia as actions being described as health style to washington. while the saudi minister of state says, the us itself is to blame for rising gas prices. the idea that so do you do would do this to harm the us or to be in any way politically involved this? absolutely not correct at all with due respect. the reason you have high prices in the united states is because you have a refining shortage that has been in existence for more than 20 years. you haven't built refineries in decades. i'll just kind of hoping more details on we on decision on the us reaction. well, essentially we have opec announcing that they will be reducing the oil output by $2000000.00 barrels per day. now that is rattling the circles of power

let's take a listen. >> saudi arabia is not an ally. and ally of the united states is a country in which there's a high degree of -- with saudi arabia we've seen on human rights, now oil production, cozying up, but would phone xi jingping and vladimir putin. and i think an ally is a country that has a strong base of domestic support. >> so can you see how this move by saudi arabia undercuts and sets back the relationship with the united states? >> yeah, so when it comes to energy security, saudi arabia has long been the voice of reason and moderation. we have long played a central role in stabilizing international energy markets. we did it for years as members of opec. more recently, we have done it as members of opec plus. our decisions on production levels are strictly determined by supply and demand, market fundamentals. political issues, political considerations do not take effect. they do not have a role. however, we have the long view of the stability and the health of the markets, so we do take into consideration the concerns of

and saudi arabia. is it easier politically to go after kind of the black hat of saudi arabia and this decision rather than talk about energy production in the u.s.? >> so the problem for democrats is that this looks political. this doesn't look like there's any grand geo strategic thinking in how we're handling our relationship with saudi arabia. looks like president biden went to saudi arabia over the sumner hopes that they would continue pumping oil to keep gas prices low. didn't work out. they snubbed him. it's not just gas prices. the relationship with saudi arabia a lot has to do with energy and a lot has to do with constraining iran and using the saudis as a bulwark in the region. the fact that the democratic party's base is talking about freezing arm sales and talking about ending our alliance with saudi arabia, it seems all about politics, all about gas prices without looking at the bigger issues also that are in play with the relationship. that makes us look very political from an administrati

that's what some us lawmakers are now calling saudi arabia. and so the reality needs to reduce oil production as part of the opec plus decision president joe biden has said he's disappointed about the news from us. congress members are also calling for a reexamination of the country's relations with the pet plus members and even wants to take measures to retaliate against saudi arabia. as we add actions are being described as hostile to washington, his ortiz kelly moore, pe with mall. well, essentially we have opec announce things they will be reducing the oil output by $2000000.00 barrels per day. now that is rattling the circles of power the united day. there is quite a bit of outrage on the 2 days since the announcement already. we're hearing the leaders of saudi arabia being described as back stabbers, putting a night in the back of the united states. here's what we've heard from unanswered questions about 911, the brutal murder of journalists, jamal cas shogi, and the exporting of extremism to dubious jailing of peaceful dissidence in con

saudi arabia needs america a lot more than america needs saudi arabia. >> they certainly depend on our military. you know, the u.s., for better or, worse has become an exporter of oil. we do not set the market price. you know, there are a low cost producers and the saudis do that. this is also a huge spike in oil prices that are really good for u.s. oil producers. but, last time i checked, there were more oil consumers in the u.s. than can producers. we have the ability to be self sufficient. we would have an even greater ability if we really double down on energy efficiency and conservation. on renewables, we have a long term strategy we can use. frankly, i have a hard time not seeing what opec has done as a direct response to what we have done in this congress to give people access to cleaner, and cheaper energy. because, nothing scares the oil company like a bunch of people with solar panels and electric vehicles. >> you are right about that. i want to have you back to have that specific conversation about the fact that it is actually the best weapon against anyone who does not see

saudi arabia's not an all lie. saudi arabia, we see human rights now in oil production. with xi and putin and finally, i think an ally is a country that has a strong base of domestic has a strong base of domestic has a strong base of domestic has a strong base of domestic has a strong base of domestic britain. canada. australia. japan. written the by the saudis. so whether the uaes, it will continue to go. so biden has to do something, just how tough he's prepared to be. >> it's interesting. saudi arabia's not a u.s. ally but the u.s. has treated it like an an ally through controversy after controversy. you have 9/11 then the killing of the journalist and then biden's trip. he even visited saudi arabia after that to meet with crow n prince. but opec nations don't support this move. other opec nations. do you buy it's not politicall y motivated? >> the market wants the embargo, but i mean, how obtuse would you have to be weeks before a midterm. how obtuse would you be if you took an action and didn't believe you were damaging the credibility and political sailings of the

in saudi arabia, opec plus, the alliance of oil producing nations led by saudi arabia and russia, announced a 2 million barrels per day cut in oil production yesterday. opec plus decision could lead to a potential spike in gas prices, just 33 days before the midterms. today, president joe biden had a one word reaction to opec plus's decision, disappointment. >> what is your reaction to the opec plus decision? >> disappointment. we are looking at alternatives that we may have. >> opec decision comes after the biden administration spent more than a week urging with producing countries to increase their oil output. ali she hobby, a study analyst, told the new york times that it is certainly not a hostile, anti biden act. it has nothing to do with biden, it is to keep the price in unacceptable band. and quote. okay. so how should we analyze this set of facts? the summer, saudi arabia paid former president donald trump to host a tournament at his golf courses, which is a move much criticized as so called sports washing, attempting to launder its reputation on human rights abuses with people who

in addition to that, the military relationship between the united states and saudi prince of saudi arabia, shears putin's world view more than he shares ours. doesn't appreciate american advocacy for democracy in the world. now it's been 70 years of the united states has been aligned with the kingdom of saudi arabia. they've been one of the most loyal allies of the united states and nato in the region. you can recall after the 1979 iranian revolution, the reagan administration saying that they would never allows the to revolution to take place in saudi arabia. that is a steadfast longtime partner of the united states. but now we're seeing the circles of power in washington, turning on them pretty rapidly in response to recent moves around opec people will recall the words of former us president george w bush, who said you're either with us or against us. and that kind of thinking seems to be prevailing in washington dc. well, i discussed these developments earlier with the host of eighty's. well, it's upon program a song, a boy. ok. white has already described this move as a hostile act,

would rely on saudi arabia as an ally, president biden went and visited saudi arabia in july to buttress the relationship between the 2 countries, which had been through a rocky period. but now you've got a us senator saying that all of this was political capital wasted. given the fact that saudi arabia now backing russia against the united states, at least that is how it is viewed. so certainly there's going to be an impact on the relations between the u. s. and saudi arabia, in the weeks and months to come, will be right, gender and has had a global oil market, stuffy consultancy group energy intelligence. he says the war ukraine is linked to the decision present put in to they also getting some resources to people who are confused about the mobilization, the details of that mobilization. we have seen mistakes being committed and acknowledged by the government itself. so what he said today is in the framework of giving the clarifications and the assurances and for instance, you know, official media staff, people with their 4 children. people who are older, who happy reserve, a spot are

it is reevaluating its relationship with saudi arabia. re odd says the decision to cut production is based on market forces. right, more or less, let's go to mikhail crew to ken. he's an energy analyst and he joins us from oslo. macau, we've talked a lot about the oil markets in recent weeks. is this move? does it help russia? well, i don't think it helps arrest because arrest is going to lose a lot of it's for duction and exports in december. when the embargo on the rest of the oil supply comes into force in the united, in the european union. and anticipate in the development to the such countries as saudi arabia, which is the leader of an office lose, decided to decrease production in advance to have a bigger leverage over their market forces. you have, they have enough spare capacity during your late the prices on the market. they might be successful in this right now. the market does not experience and shortages of oil. in fact, the supply is larger than the demand about $1000000.00 barrels per day. and the decrees, i don't think it plays a very big girl immediately. it will plac
