Hi, I'm Mike Papantonio and this is America's Lawyer. House speaker Nancy Pelosi's trip to Asia this week, well, it caused global concern as fears about attack from China continue to escalate, as we speak. We'll tell you what's happening. Bank of America, well, they're hoping more people lose their jobs in this coming year and they admitted that that's what they want. They said it in a memo. We'll bring you the story. And there have been some major legal developments in human trafficking litigation in the past week, attorney Carissa Phelps is gonna be here to talk about those developments. All that and more, it's all coming up. Don't go anywhere. America's Lawyer starts right now.
Nancy Pelosi took her ill-advised trip to Asia this week and all the war hawks, they're very excited about it. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins joins me to talk about it. I don't know what your take is. I mean, you know, she's landed. There's, you know, we've got warships, the Ronald Reagan, one of our biggest ships in the, in the sea there. We, we're taking an entire armada so she can take her trip. This is a crazy story for so many reasons. Give me your take on it.
It, it is. And you know the footage of right before the plane lands, you've got the tanks rolling through the streets in Taiwan.
Right.
Everybody was prepared for this massive military attack, just because for some reason, Nancy Pelosi and her delegation said here, this is a good time of the year to go travel Asia for, for no real clear, apparent reason. You know, we've heard like, oh, we're gonna, we're gonna talk about the pandemic. We're gonna talk about trade.
Yeah.
But I think there's something bigger here and it has to do with something you and I have talked about recently, and that is the microchip legislation.
Wow. Okay.
Taiwan is the world leader in producing semiconductors and microchips. In fact, nearly all of them across the planet are coming from one plant in Taiwan.
Yeah.
So Nancy Pelosi obviously wants to go there, butter things up, get these semiconductors rolling. And as we all know, Pelosi's husband just bought a ton of stock in, in semiconductor companies in the United States. So there easily could be a financial benefit to her basically stoking World War III with this trip.
I love your, I love your takes. I always do. I think you're right on. Look, here, here's the, here's the things that have been suggested as this story develops. Okay. First of all, the war hawk deal, you know. Why, why is Fox news, oh, what a wonderful idea, Nancy go. Every war hawk on CNN and MSNBC, yeah, she has the right to travel if she wants to travel. Nobody ever really talks about the fact, why is she going? I, have you heard a good answer of why she's going? And, and you suggest one that makes perfect sense, but I haven't heard anything, any legitimate answer. They, you know, the, the, the weapons pals, her weapons pals who she gets a lot of money for, they're crazy about this. Show of strength through the midterms. That's one reason. Cover up for hus, for hubbies, insider trading, cover up for hubbies drunk driving stories. These are, these are all being suggested. So, so as I look at this story, the thing I've looked for is for somebody to say, why are you going? Have you had a clear answer on that?
No. And in fact, just so everybody is aware, like you and I actually, we sat on the phone talking about this story. We're both looking.
