Hi, Mike Papantonio and this is America's Lawyer. President Biden went to Saudi Arabia recently and the trip could not have gone worse. We'll tell you why his move was a mistake from the very start. A new report shows that trust in the media is at an all time low, which is leading nearly half of Americans to avoid the news completely. We'll tell you what's happening. And a new lawsuit says that the popular candy Skittles, well, they're not safe for human consumption and they might be a bigger problem than anybody dreamed of. We'll bring you to details. All that and more it's all coming up. Don't go anywhere. This is America's Lawyer and it starts right now.
President Biden is back from his trip to Saudi Arabian and it didn't go all that well. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins joins me to talk about what happened. We kind of have done three story, well, we did three stories before he went saying, don't go, don't go. It's a mistake. It's a mistake. Give me your take on it.
Yeah. It really, well, first of all, he shouldn't have gone in the first place. You know, he, he absolutely should not have made this trip. And when he gets there, he did do the right thing. He brought up Jamal Khashoggi and the fact, hey, you killed him.
Mm-hmm.
And then Saudi Arabia kind of hit back at something that, you know, makes a lot of sense. Like, well, do you remember Abu Ghraib? Do you remember all of those other journalists that you have killed around the globe? And you're gonna sit here and lecture us.
Yeah.
About killing one man, which you know, kind of is a bit of an admission, like yeah, we killed him, but you guys are pretty bad too. And it just shows that the US unfortunately has no moral high ground on any of these issues.
It's really hard to hear coming from this psycho punk.
Yeah.
MBS who shouldn't be there to begin with. I mean, the question always come, the one of, one of Khashoggi's issues was he would ask the question, how did these people get in, how, how are they in power? Who gave them the right to even be in power? How is all of this oil rich land theirs? It's almost like there was no proclamation. And then you had, you had the British that supported the Royal family and that just can, you know, started a chain reaction. And the Royal family's been there ever since threatening everybody who poses a risk to them. But to have MBS have the moral high ground when he says, well, what about your invasion of Iraq that was based on a total lie that was created by Dick Cheney and Bush and all those war pimps? And how about your, how about your involvement with Israeli par, apartheid, where you're, where you're pumping that up? So it raised some issues, but the, the, the real, the real issue comes down to this, he shouldn't have been there to begin with. This is an ugly, ugly dictator that actually watched Khas, there's some question, did he watch Khashoggi being murdered and dismembered as it was going on through a TV set?
Yeah, that, that is definitely something that, you know, is likely to have happened. There's, you know, a little bit of evidence out there to say that he was watching this and understood what happened. But to bring up these issues again, and Saudi Arabia was right there with us, by the way, for him to bring that up is ridiculous because they were right there with us with Iraq.
Oh yeah.
You know, they, they supported that a hundred percent.
Yeah.
And MBS was a part of that family.
