He's trying very hard to frame this as a US versus Saudi Arabia cultural kind of thing. He's trying to pretend the problem people have with him performing there is that they don't like the audience. The regular people of Saudi Arabia. He's lying. He knows good and well the problem is with the people paying for it. The problem is the people putting it on as a propaganda display. It's a sad fucking thing for Bill Burr to do.
