Biden Fist Bumps Saudi Crown Prince MBS | Terri Jackson

is feeling the heat. Du Say Sloan tries to make you lay it for work, and President Joe Biden is hoping to fist his way to a higher approval rating. So let's do these people. Let's up straight into today's headlines. Okay, let's kick things off with Europe, the continent with a long history of white on white violence. Unfortunately, Europe is not having a good time right now. There's slow war in Ukraine, which is also causing an energy crisis. Italy's

Prime minister has called it quits. Britain has lost its leadership, which means now they'll have to find another magic spell. To turn a dandelion into a prime minister. Plus for the first time ever, the euro has become less valuable than the dollar yea and with the economy struggling, European workers are now limited to only forty five weeks of vacation a year. And as if all of that wasn't enough, now Europe is dealing with a heart girl summer that

nobody asked for. The triple digit temperatures that have sparked forest fires and drought conditions here in the States are also taking hold in Europe. This morning, people are being warned to take cover as deadly heat sweeps across Britain, the National Weather Service issuing the first ever extreme heat warning, with forecast highs of a hundred and five today and tomorrow, hotter than the Sahara Desert and Delhi. The scorching heat is bearing down on all of Western Europe, fueling out

of control wildfires. In southwest France, the planes dumped yet more water over wildfires that have burned an area bigger than twenty thousand football fields. The hate is causing havoc London's Luton Airport and an r A F base in Oxfordshire both being forced to close because the runways were melting. Mammy sucker bl bloody bull sweats the runways in Europe on melt. Did you hear that the runways on melting? You never want to land a plane and here go?

What are you even in that situation? What do you do? Like if the runways melted, where's the plane gonna land? In the baby's mouth? That's right, open the baby, please baby, the plane in your baby. You know, this is one of those situations where you really appreciate how calm a pilot is, you know, because like even when a runaways melting, I bet the pilot is just gonna be there, like ladies and gentlemen, seems the airplane is melting as the ground.

So how must just everyone get back to their seats? Hold on? Now, it seems like a portal to the underworld is opened and we're slowly being sucked by the devil himself. So I'm gonna go ahead and turn on the fast and sea bulls, it's a pack, relax and enjoy the flat. But yes, Europe is scorching hot right now, and it's so bad that there were photos going around today off people pouring water in the mouths of the

gods at Buckingham Palace. Yeah, I mean, if if I had to make a suggestion, though, maybe the first thing I would do in a heatwave is lose the ten foot heap covered entirely in fur, or at least filled with ice. It looks like it would be a good cooler, you know. And remember remember you might be hearing those temperatures in America going like a hundred degrees. That doesn't sound bad, but remember this heat wave is especially bad for Europe because Europeans are not prepared for this kind

of heat. Yeah, they don't use air conditioners in most parts of Europe. They don't even put ice in their drinks, and they can get sunburnt from like a camera flash. Ha ha ha. So how do I look? So once again, all over the world we're experiencing record temperatures, wildfires, and droughts, and I mean, I know it can't be climate change because Fox says that's not real, so it's probably pronouns

it is pronounced. Those are pretty bad. Anyway. Let's move on from Europe to another place that's feeling the heat, the White House. After being unable to accomplish anything like Joe Biden has campaigned on the President's approval rating is now hovering somewhere between long COVID and Uvaldi police departments, and making matters worse for him is a runaway inflation, right, especially when it comes to gas prices. The prices of gas are so high that these days driving is the

entire dates. You know. It's just like he rarely spoiled me. Last night, we we drove all the way from my house to the end of the block. He's so romantic. But here's the thing. There's the thing. Until gas prices improve, neither will will will Joe Biden's approval racing right, which is why over the weekend he was in Saudi Arabia making nice with a front of me who just happens

to own a lot of oil. It was the fist bump scene around the world, the President with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the man the US holds responsible for the murder of journalists Jamal Kaso. It's the image the Saudis had hoped for and the White House had hoped to avoid. Biden's doctors reportedly disallowed handshakee to due to COVID, but conveniently also helped the President avoid a photo op of shaking the hand of the Crown Prince.

The fist bump R. President should talk about bombers, baggage. Yeah, yeah, stop asking him about the first bomb. Asked him about the looming mercession. No, actually, just asked me about the first bomb, the first bomb. America obsesses about these things. Don't don't look too friendly, don't do it. It's also funny how President Biden thought it would be better to fist bump Mohammed been someone because that seems less friendly than I had shake. That's the whitest decision of all time. No,

because it's the opposite. Handshakes are the most formal way to meet someone, even your enemy. You can be like hello, but first bombs is always like what's up? What's up? Killer? I see you, I see you, man, I see you there.

You know what I really think happened? I think Joe Biden's team briefed him, and they're like Mr President in Saudi Arabia, if you make them mad and you have ella, chop off your hands, so you want to hide your fingers, get in quick, in and out, in and out, God speeding, Mr President You know what Biden should have done if he didn't want any controversy in this is he should have gone in for the handshake and then given him the psych Just do that move. There's no comeback for

that devastating. If he did that, NBS would have been like, Oh, just take all the oil and go. Don't tell my friends, don't tell my friends. And Okay, if you're wondering why this the situation is so awkward? Right, Oh, who cares? He fist bumped him, he met him. Why is it so bad? It's because back during the presidential campaign, Biden was saying things like this because show he was in

fact murdered and dismembered. And I believe in the order of the Crown Prince there's very little social redeeming value of the in the president government in Saudi Arabia. We were going to in fact make them pay the price and make them in fact the pariah. They are awkward, yeah, because how do you go from that to flying across the world to meet the guy in his palace. Biden must have been a little nervous. You know, you meet the guy and you said all these things about him,

called him a murderer, callan. Now you in his palace, he's gonna be walking in like, come on, you've you've watched Fox News, I just read the teller problems or man, I don't even know why. Most of the time that

wasn't me. And unfortunately for President Biden, the bad news didn't stop at his presidential pound yes, because when Biden got back to the US, he had to deal with another all powerful dictator, Joe Mansion, West Virginia Democrat, and somehow the real presidents of the United States, because you see, Biden has spent the last two years trying to get Joe Mansion to vote for his Build Back Better bill, But Mansion has spent the last two years saying no,

and he's been giving a variety of answers. You know, or I don't want to risk inflation, I don't want to end off shore drilling. I'm a Gemini and mercuries in retrograde and now it's not a good time to make big decisions. So a lot of back and forth. Mansion said, look, I'll do a much small a bull that only has some health insurance expansions and the climate change stuff, and then like you can raise taxes on

corporations to pay for it. So Democrats took out everything mentioned and want and came back last week with a bill that only has what he asked for, to which Joe Manson said more now from Capitol Hill, where Democrats are extremely upset with Senator Joe Mansion after he effectively torpedoed their hopes of acting on climate change it concept. Mansion told Democratic leadership he is not willing to back

major climate and tax provisions in President Biden's agenda. Senator Bernie Sanders was especially upset over the weekend, suggesting Mansion never negotiated in good faith in the first place. People like Mansion, Cinma sent him up to a lesson degree, who are intentionally sabotaging the president's agenda? What the American people want? What the majority of us in the Democrat caught this one. Nothing new about this, yep, Bernie's piste off. I haven't seen him this piston someone trying to give

him one percent milk. I'll stand with the nine nine percent fact, milk that's been excluded from the dariel for far too long. No more with the one percent. And I get it. I get why Democrats are frustrated with Joe Manchon because he's on your team, he's wearing your jersey, but every time he gets the ball he dunks on you.

But if your mansion doesn't believe in these policies, the least he could do is just say so upfront, instead of wasting everybody's time and jerking the Democrats around for a year pretending there's something that couldn't be join amobile. You know this, You know this reminds me of this reminds me of the time I tried to take a girl to the problem, right and she was like, well, first you have to buy me flowers, then you have to rent a limo, then we have to go somewhere

nice for dinner. And I did all of that, and then the night of the problem came and she was like, I don't think that, as your history teacher, is appropriate for me to go to the problem with you in the park White you said that at the beginning, Mrs Chen kids could not broken. I don't have a date. Why she's so big ahead. She was a very interesting person, all right. Finally, some news from the world of automobiles.

Transformers that never went through puberty. Every year car companies compete to see who can offer the most exciting new options, you know, like voice activated controls or augmented reality windshields, or trunks that have got a lot more junk. Yeah, you're looking good, so then I see you. I see you. But the latest innovation isn't a new feature. No, it's a new way to pay for what you get. A new kind of subscription could be making its way to

your bank statements. BMW says that it will start charging a monthly fee for heated seats. It costs about twelve dollars a month and would allow the car maker to activate the heating coils already built into the seat. You can purchase the heated seats when you buy the car, but for those who didn't, you can at least temporarily try them out on a cold day with the subscription. They're also considering a subscription service for heated steering wheels.

It's interesting BMW is gonna let people subscribe for certain features in the car, like heated seats. Yeah, so instead of just buying it, you pay month to month, which I'll be honest, actually sounds great because I don't need heated seats in the summer, so why am I paying? Huh? They should do this very feature, the radio, the windshield wipers. Yeah, the horn. I don't need the horn all the time.

I want to subscribe to the horn if I get cuddled this mother, Yo, give me three, give me three, loading up, give me three and light is adds up? But does then you realize there's the downside to this, right? Car manufacturers are joining the subscription model, and we know how this goes. First you buy things, then they go, oh, now you subscribe, and then how does it end? It

always ends with ads? Always so when he amount of time before you buy a BMW and then you're gonna have to like listen to a Mattress ad every time you start the car. The killers coming kill, Let's get out of here. Are you looking for a new mattress aft? That? So? Look, car manufacturers one subscription plans. That's fine. You know, pay for the parts of the car that you only want when you use them. I think that actually works, although you better be warned if you forget to renew the

wrong subscriptions, that ship could end in tears. Oh oh, should I knew? I should have renewed the brake subscription all right, you've got me BMW one more month, one more month of brace please wait wait seven one months and then shifty for you? Is that cheap? Is that? Where's that? That? Seven? Seven times twelve? That equals it's gonna be? And I'm fine, I'm fine, I made it. I'm fine. All right, that's it for the headlines. But before we go to a quick break, let's check in

on the stock market without finance expert Michael cost to everybody. Okay, Michaels, Okay, you'll get okay, So what's happening in the markets? Man? The market? You? Okay? First of all, that was a that was a that was a tumble. That wasn't That wasn't real. It wasn't real. Okay, all right, god that's great. Um I'm crushing the markets, dude, crushing, crushing, crushing, still crushing. And I got a hot tip for you. I got a hot tip for all you pay attention. All right,

So let's get into this, okay. Well, actually, first of all, BMW the subscription for the warm seats, Yeah right, I mean I'm over all these subscriptions. Okay. I was trying to print something recently and my printer was like, hey, you want to sign up for an INK subscription. So why would I give my credit card to a printing company when I can just do all my personal printing here at work. Okay, I'm mad, Trevor. I print manuals,

Encyclopedia's health records, thousands of pages. You know, I print someone. It's actually easier for me just to take one of the work printers home with me and now I print from working home. I can print anything you want. You just let me know I got printed for it. I will let me know. I got a hot tip too. Okay, don't forget, I got a hot tip for you guys. Alright, let's let's get to this. What's happening. I'll show you well, you know what the European heat wave. Yes, that that's hot.

That is hot. I was just in Ireland for a couple of days. It's it's hot. It's hot, and they don't handle the heat. Well there, okay, I mean, how are you gonna cool off? Drink a lukewarm guinness and have some piping hot shepherd's pie. You know what I mean? This gravy is so refreshing. You know, it is hot in Europe and with the euro now, when you're in Europe,

you're hot and you're broke. I was thinking, I haven't been this hot and broke since I was eighteen living in l A doing shirtless auditions for independent films that never got mailed. The director said that they're caught up in editing. But it's been about twenty years, Trevor. So all right, I got a hot tip for you. Don't forget. I won't forget. All right, let's break down this euro chart. I mean, look, this thing looks like you're skiing down

the Swiss Alps. Am I right now, I know that because thanks to how low the euro is, I can afford to now ski down the Swiss alse. This is great news for all of us. It is Europe. Europe is now cheat for us in America. You know, think about Americans love going to Mexico because it's so cheap. Well, what we didn't realize was this whole previous time, America was Mexico to to Europe, right, But now that's swapped. Europe is our Mexico and we got Mexico. Right, we

have two Mexicos. No other country in the world has two Mexicos. Think about that now, What I like about this is this has dropped the Europeans cockiness a little bit. You know, some French, Well you Americans, you're so over weight, and I'm thinking, yeah, maybe we are everyway because maybe we've just stuffed our pockets with our currency right, and it's weighing us down. I promised you a hot tip, yea, the whole time, hot tip in Europe. You don't tip right,

and it's hot there. Yeah. I wonder how many people have dressed on your advice. Michael cops to everybody when we come back.

contact long on. Everybody, all right to say choose, because when we come back, we'll be talking about w NBA. Start Brittany Grinder, who's been detained in Russia four months now, So don't go away, ye, Welcome back to your Daily show. Five months ago w n B a star Britney Grinder was detained by the Russian government while visiting Russia to

play with the local basketball team. We're joined now by Terry Jackson, executive director of the union representing w NBA players, to discuss where the situation currently stands and where we hope to go from here. Terry Jackson, Welcome to the Daily Show. Thank you, Channer. So I think I'm gonna start with the question that really sets up the whole you know, not even discussion, but the situation. Some people have seen pieces of the story Brittney Grinder detained in Russia.

Some say, you know it it was because of a false accusation, some say it was because of prescriptions. How did the story start, just to get everybody on the same page, our very own Brittney Grinder b G was returning back to Russia. UM. I think everybody saw that the clip of her in the airport. UM. At some point there was a search of her belongings and UM

what we learned thereafter was that she was detained. She was returning back to Russia to go play with her team that she's played with for several years and one great championships UM for them. UM, So she didn't make it back to the team. She was detained. And let's just stop right there and just think about what that means to be an American over in Russia, to to be learning about this process in real time and UM

coming forward and making the statements that she made. And we're just hoping and praying that the judge, the court UM extends her great compassion and great mercy because that was so incredibly brave to do. But again, but again reading the case into the record and and hopefully this process again I don't completely understand it, but hopefully this process will continue to move forward. And you can see

a conclusion. If I may interrupt you there, I think that's been that's been one of the more confusing aspects of the story. Initially, when it kicked off, many people were encouraged not to weigh in online, not to bring it to the president's attention, not to make it an issue, because people felt like this may hamper Um, you know, her her defense in Russia, because as you know, in Russia, it's different. It's it's not really a trial the way

Americans think of it. It's more the state lasers. It's out it's case, and I think it's over prosecution rates. But what was interesting about the story is when it happened just as the invasion of Ukraine took place, it seemed like Brittany was being used as a pawn in the situation. And I know that puts yourselves in a

precarious position. But how much help are you hoping for from the administration and how much you know of a movement are you hoping to turn this into or does that hamper the negotiations to to bring this wom at home. You're right in the beginning, we were quiet Um. That's what we were told. That was the best way to show our best support. And if anybody knows, and and your audience knows, w n b A players UM. They

are very vocal. They look to get informed about a situation, and they will step out on their platforms and and and give you know, the proper recognition, the proper spotlight. But the way that we were told in the beginning UM to best show our support was to be quiet. And so what we did was we we reached out to experts UM to learn about Russian Ukrainian affairs, to learn more about the system, to learn how this could

play out over the next several weeks. And so, as my members always do, they look to get informed and educated before they are ready to speak. When we heard that the State Department had UM classified b G as wrongfully detained, when we heard from Cherrelle Grinder, b g's wife that she needed our help, we heard that through her team, it was go time for my for my members, because this is an issue about the sanctity of sport. You're right, she should not be a political pawn. This

is not a game. This is not the game. And so to see our brothers and sisters across all the different professional sports and so many different organizations step up with us in this global sports community and talk about b G and and talk about this case and talk about the need to get her home. Um, you know,

that's gotten, that's gotten the Biden's administration's attention. And Um, that call that Cherrelle Grinder got from not only the President but the Vice President to assure her that they were doing everything possible to get Big home and other detained Americans home, Well, that gave us the assurance that we need. And you know, quite frankly, Trevor, what this country needs is a rallying cry, and that's what we are b g is all about. It's a rallying cry. We need a win. So we need to stand with

this president. We need him to do whatever it takes to bring Big home. When you look at the situation, you know, through the lens of people who are helping people who aren't helping. As you said, there's been support, you know, from other athletes who who now have been given the license to speak. Um, there are some who have said, it feels like this isn't something that would have happened to you know, one of the men's basketball players, and know if this was Lebron, he would have been

out in a week, is what people say. But it feels like whatever dealing with an international incident. There is a lot of sensitivity that has to come into play. And and so I wandered from your side when looking have people raising their voices, et cetera. What are you what are you hoping that they would push for? You know, is this a situation where you feel the administration has

got it handled. I know that her family hasn't spoken to her, But but what do you need from the people or is it just everybody having to wait because two governments are having a conversation about a delicate issue. You do have to recognize an any geopolitical system or situation that you've got to be sensitive, right You've got to be careful, You've got to watch, and you've got to monitor. Right now, it's go time right now. What we need from so many organizations, from from so many

of our fans, um those in your audience. What we need is to unite, to come together, put politics aside, and let this administration know we want them to do whatever it takes to bring our wrongfully detained Americans home. We need folks to go to the we are BG dot org website again, I'm going to say it, we are e G dot org. Go to that website. Signed the petition. Tell folks that you have signed the petition. It is important that we get this visibility um and

that we get the awareness out there. Terry Jackson, thank you so much. Jennings probably gonna take a thick break. We'll be right back after this. We let's talk tonight, but before we go, please come sort of supporting Keen. This is an organization providing free fitness and recreation programs for youth with disability.
