-saudi relationship with democratic senator chris murphy tweeting "i thought the whole point of selling arms to gulf states was that when an international crisis came the gulf could choose america over russia and china." some lawmakers have called for a reduction in military sales to saudi arabia, removing u.s. forces from the area, maybe removing some of those missile defense systems that are there. as you know, saudi arabia is the biggest customer of u.s.-made military equipment. but when brian daes, who is president biden's director of the national economic council at the white house, was asked about these propositions from lawmakers earlier he said he had no announcements at this time but they would be ahe issing the system and consulting closely with congress. >>> let's discuss this with democratic congressman roe khanna of california. we all remember when president biden went to saudi arabia, despite the kingdom's rampant human rights abuses, and he even fist bumped crown prince mohammed bin salman despite mbs's responsibility for the very grisly death, murder of a "washington pos

but still some have been making their point clear in particular, chris murphy, a prose ally of president biden, a democratic senator has made very clear his belief that saudi arabia has stabbed the us in the back by taking the decision along with opec, saying that one of the reasons why the united states maintain the relationship, the saudi arabia, despite allegations of human rights abuse, despite that ongoing war in yemen, was because it relied on saudi arabia as an ally only in july. this year president biden visited, saudi arabia had a visit with all the country's leaders. now, some congressmen are saying that this is being stabbed in the bank by saudi arabia . that the u. s. relations with saudi arabia are going to be shot, the impacted by this decision by opec, and give them what you say then like, politically, how does this affect present? but well, it could have very serious political effects on the biden administration. and in fact, his democratic party, midterm elections are coming up in november. one of the issues in the mid term elections is the price of gas. now it reached a

democratic senator chris murphy of connecticut, a member of the foreign relations committee.alk to you about. let's start there with saudi arabia, and what this latest move cutting oil production tells you about our relationship with the saudis, and how maybe it should change? >>. >> to the point that you have been making already, we made a massive down payment this summer on energy independence, the inflation reduction act, which super charges clean energy tax credits and investment in renewables is going to help us very quickly move away from saudi oil, russian oil, venezuela oil, but let's also be clear, you know, the united states has been a security partner with the saudis, notwithstanding, their human rights abuses or their war in yemen because we made a bet that when the global crisis came, the saudis would choose us, not the russians or the chinese. in fact, the saudis abandoned us, and we have to relook at our security relationship. why are we spending so much american taxpayer money, why are we risking the lives of our soldiers protecting saudi arabia if they're not

that is why, after the horrific tragedy at robb elementary in uvalde, texas, senators chris murphy, johnornyn, thom tillis, and myself, all representing diverse states from across the country, we got to work, debating a range of solutions that would save lives, make our community safer, and protect americans constitutional rights. as we wrote our bill, we viewed our conversations as collaboration, not negotiation. we refused to frame our work is giving up something to get something in return, but instead stayed laser focused on our shared goal of reducing violence across american communities. we acknowledged that the root of violence plaguing our communities is complex. it can be partly attributed to criminals with dangerous weapons and attributed to a mental health crisis affecting young people in cities and towns all across america. so, we spent hours considering the policy provisions, ensuring we got the language just right, and that every policy included in our bill could help save lives, help children learn and grow in healthy and safe environments, and make our communities safer, m

of criticism as you know for its approach to saudi arabia from key democrats even like senator chris murphy who tweeted this. i'll put it up on the screen. i thought the whole point of selling arms to the gulf states despite their human rights abuses nonsensical yemen war, working against u.s. interests in libya, sudan et cetera. the gulf could choose america over russia. ro khanna said this. >> i think the people in the nsa who gave the advice to the president to go to saudi arabia, they need to explain what they were thinking. there are certain folks who have a saudi bias and who have been taking the saudi's side even in the yemen war. they need to come and give an explanation to the american public why that trip was planned. why we're not taking more decisive action. >> so, secretary, how do you respond to that? >> let me say that we think this is the wrong decision by saudi arabia and the opec plus countries a at time when we've got global energy and security. we've got prices higher in they should be. to support putin in raising prices further. money that he uses to fuel his war is sho

and joining us now, senator chris murphy, the leading member of the senate foreign relations committeesays putin's declaration of martial law in parts of ukraine is a desperate tactic. is this a sign of weakness or do you fear this foreshadows more dangerous moves in this war? >> it's certainly a sign of weakness, wolf. there are limited cards that putin can play right now as he continues to lose territory on the front lines and as the international community turns against him. and so while he can't push the battle front any further towards kyiv, he can try to make news and create the illusion of control. the fact of the matter is he is asserting martial law over territory that he doesn't control. there are portions of his so-called annexed territory that are in ukrainian hands and even those in russian hands, they don't have any effective means for moscow to enforce this declaration. these are continued war zones, so these are moves that putin is making because he has a real vice grip around his forces by ukraine and the allies that are supporting ukraine. >> at the same time, senator

chris murphy of susquehanna. >>> we've gotten what options are telling us about market direction. our next guest says small caps look particularly attractive right now, especially for long-term investors. let's bring in the co-ceo of essex managements investment this is sort of the playbook if you're in a rising inflation, rising rate, rising dollar environment, small caps historically have done well. have we seen that sort of play out and which sectors in particular or subsectors within small caps do you like the best for this environment >> we are starting to see that play out, certainly in the third quarter, which was, by all accounts, a very frustrating and very difficult quarter for all areas of the markets, we saw small caps and interestingly even microcaps outperform on a relative basis and small cap growth and microcap growth were two of the only sectors that were actually up a little bit for the quarter. one of the other factors with small caps here is not only are the stocks very travel valued, selling at valuations of ten times or less in aggregate on next year's earnin

however, senator chris murphy close to a close ally off president biden, saying that one of the reasons why the us maintain this relationship with saudi arabia despite delegations of human rights abuses, despite the ongoing war in yemen, was because it 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 to 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, the race to green energy is going to foster some oil rich developing nations. nigeria is africa's biggest export of oil, and it isn't ready to let go of it's huge reserves that of field it's consumption and economic growth for more than half a century. i'll just here as i would address reports now from port harcourt. this off shall

now this even being more blatant criticism from some members of the congress, senator chris murphy, a close ally of president biden, making very clear his belief that the u. s. continued to support saudi arabia despite allegations of human rights abuses, despite its war in yemen. because said the senator, they could rely on saudi arabia to support the us when it was needed. the senate making very clear that the support has not come through now. and making clear to that saudi arabia may bear some consequences in terms of its participation. in this opec decision that's likely to be a view echoed from many in congress as the impact of what the opec decision means to the u. s. it begins together momentum and might how much concern is there along democrats that if prices start to rise at the pump, it could affect cities and districts that could go to the republicans in the midterm elections? well, hearing the administration's anger is the fact that it has been fighting incredibly hard to reduce gas prices within the united states which reached high levels a few months ago. however, the adm

. >> yasmeen, you've seen some influential democrats, you've seen chris murphy, dick durban call forto end its alliance with the saudis. is that going to happen? >> i don't think so because these were the same democrats who when president biden was getting ready to go to saudi arabia put out statements saying the u.s. needed to overhaul or just end its relationship with saudi arabia. but it was mostly democrats who were very critical of biden's meeting with mbs, but this is always a sticking point for the u.s., that especially for president biden who says he wants to put human rights at the center of his foreign policy agenda. i think there are just certain political realities that every u.s. president has contended with with saudi arabia. i think most if given the choice would not want to have the relationship because it is so problematic, but no one has actually been able to cut off that relationship because of the oil relationship, because of the security relationship and the need for a partner like that in the middle east even with all of the problems and headaches that that rela

secretary of state, after the opc plus decision to cut production targets, democratic senator chris murphytime for a complete reassessment of relations with saudi arabia. my questions are these. are there any considerations in the administration on about such a reassessment, how concerned are you that the partners in the persian gulf are gradually moving closer to russia, and given this gradual progress. should the united states continue to supply weapons to saudi arabia first, as far as the custody decision is concerned. i think it would have been clearly heard from my colleagues in the white house and administration. we find this decision both disappointing and shortsighted, especially as our global economy is grappling with the effects of covid recovery as well as the aggression from side of russia in ukraine and the consequences that it carries. we've been saying all along that supply has to meet demand, and we clearly understood that and worked on it, and as you know, over the past months we have taken a number of steps to try to achieve this, including freeing up oil and the strategi
