Oil products as a nation and we are buying, look at the top right. that is where we are today, near the highest level since at least the 19 50s. through his credit, biden also ran on taking a harder line on major oil producer saudi arabia, after saudi crown prince had a washington post journalist murdered. >> i said at the time, khashoggi was in fact murdered and dismembered, and i believe in the order of the crown prince. i will make it very clear, we are not going to, in fact, sell more weapon...

Khashoggi, especially grisly murder, and hes never weighed in on how he felt about them, and i think thats whats so striking about the fact that the white house is confirming, yes, hes going to make this formal visit there given statements like these that he made on the campaign trail. >> after the cold-blooded murder of a journalist, giving the crown prince of saudi arabia the benefit of the doubt. >> i think it was a flat out murder, and i think we should have nailed it as that. >> we were, in...

Let alone my own view or others, they should be pursuing that. and so, yes, i think there is sufficient evidence to open an investigation and it would be of you up to the justice department ultimately to decide does that evidence rise to proof beyond a reasonable doubt such that theyre comfortable indicting someone. but theres certainly nigh view enough evidence to open up investigations. >> as the chairman of the house intelligence committee, i got to get your take on president bidens trip to s...
