Hey ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and CNN anchor Jake Tapper
0:06
actually took a strip off of the Joe Biden administration Off of President Joe Biden and the whole clan and it was something to watch
0:15
I think that his spokesperson was just shocked that it happened before we get started
0:20
Please make sure you like comment share and subscribe those little things really help us out and they help our channel continue to grow
0:27
so The the president spokesperson Appears on CNN and the subject of the Saudi relationship with the United States comes up
0:37
Now if you remember during the campaign trail, you know Biden was very critical of Trump and how he handled, you know
0:45
The crown prince after the death of Jamal Khashoggi the murder of Jamal Khashoggi
0:50
apparently at the hands of Mohammed bin Salman So or not his direct hands, but at his direction at least that's the belief
0:58
Well, Jake Tapper goes in on the on the spokesperson He's like, you know what the guy's insisting there's been repercussions and Jake Tapper's like what repercussions
1:08
Here's a picture of Biden shaking hands with a guy. You know what I mean? So
1:12
Where are the repercussions and I think this spokesperson was just not ready for it because CNN is supposed to be
1:19
Friendly territory for them. Let's take a look defense treaty With Saudi Arabia that it has with democracies such as South Korea and Japan
1:28
Saudi Arabia is not a democracy. It has an atrocious human rights record
1:33
The UN has said that the Saudi led war in Yemen You just noted the ceasefire but it's resulted in mass
1:39
killings of civilians One of the worst man-made humanitarian crises in the world plus of course American spies have said the killing of Washington Post Jamal
1:48
Hoshogi Washington Post journalist Jamal Hoshogi was ordered specifically by Saudi Crown Prince MBS
1:53
Let's just remind our viewers. This is what candidate Biden said about Saudi Arabia on the campaign trail
2:00
We were going to in fact make them pay the price and make them in fact the pariah that they are
2:06
There's very little social redeeming value of the in the present government in Saudi Arabia
2:13
He sounds very different when he talks about Saudi Arabia today Well look there's no question that
2:19
Saudi Arabia is a strategic partner has been for some 80 decades. It's also no question as the president as you
2:27
We the president hasn't been bashful about expressing our concerns With Saudi behavior, but this is a strategic partnership. We want to keep moving forward
2:35
We need to do that there have been repercussions for Saudi Arabia the president declassified the information around the Khashoggi killing
2:41
We we need to also look at the future of the Middle East and what that needs to look like
2:46
Not just for the Saudi people that Israeli people but for American national security interests
2:52
So I don't want to get ahead of where these discussions are Jake But these are important discussions
2:56
And we're going to continue to have them with our allies and partners there because the threat from Iran is not going anywhere
3:01
And that's felt by Israel that's felt by Saudi Arabia and other of our partners there
3:05
I don't know what repercussions you're talking about I mean like take a look at this photo of President Biden from a few days ago with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman
3:13
Biden is shaking at his hand shaking his hand he's smiling at him Was the president
3:19
Bummed that the photo was made public. This isn't actually not the one I was talking about
3:23
There's another one where Biden is looking right at MBS and smiling at him is the president bummed that the photo was made public
3:28
No, look the Crown Prince put his hand out the president shook it. He shook a lot of hands there at the g20
3:33
I mean he looks absolutely stunned that he's getting this line of questioning on CNN And you kind of can't blame him right I think he thought he was walking into friendly turf
3:41
but Jake Tapper tends to be an anchor that does his job and Doesn't really pull favorites. I mean you know so I think everybody does a little bit
3:50
But he's pretty good at his job, and this guy was not ready for it and and Tapper
3:56
Tapper went in he and he hammered him, and I think it was a great job. I think he did fantastic
4:01
I want to know what you guys think about it though, so please let me know in the comments
4:05
What do you think of the job Tapper did what do you think of the spokesperson's answer
4:09
