President Donald Trump made the first overseas tour of his second term this week to the Middle East, where Riyadh royalty rolled out a lavender carpet ahead of a 600-billion-dollar pledge of Saudi investment for US contracts. Qatar next, where The Beast was surrounded by a caravan of camels, while the man inside watched a ceremonial sword-dance spectacle.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman pulled out all the stops to welcome President Trump, some Republicans have expressed concern about Trump accepting a $400 million luxury airplane from Qatar, and fans of the New York Knicks are speculating that Pope Leo XIV supports their team. Bestselling author and longtime chaplain of Colbert Nation, Father James Martin, has met Pope Leo XIV and predicts that he will be an outspoken pontiff. Father Martin's latest book, “Come Forth: The Promise of Jesus's Greatest Miracle,” is out now. Emmy-winner Alexander Skarsgård tells Stephen that his father Stellan loved to embarrass his teenage son by dancing naked at their house when he brought friends home.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (09/22/2023): 3:05pm- Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Robert Menendez (D-NJ) has been charged with accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes in exchange for providing Egypt with “sensitive U.S. government information.” During a Friday press conference announcing a three-count indictment, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Damian Williams explained that federal prosecutors found $500,000 in cash, as well as gold bars, in Sen. Menendez' home—some of which contained fingerprints or DNA of Fred Daibes, a real estate developer also accused of bribing Menendez and his wife Nadine. According to The New York Times, Daibes pled guilty to financial crimes in 2022. Senator Menendez and his wife have both denied the criminal conduct alleged by prosecutors. You can read more about the story here: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/22/nyregion/robert-menendez-indicted.html 3:30pm- Attorney Scott Coffina—former Burlington County Prosecutor and former Associate Counsel to President George W. Bush—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to react to the indictment of Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and his wife, Nadine, on bribery charges. Coffina believes that Nadine's alleged text messages with Wael Hana, who has been charged with conspiracy to commit bribery, may be difficult for the defense to explain away. Will this indictment impact Sen. Menendez' intention to run for reelection in 2024? 3:45pm- Despite an inability to prevent illegal migration along the U.S. Southern border, the Biden Administration has announced it will grant “legal status” to 470,000 Venezuelans who entered the U.S. unlawfully. You can read more here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2023/09/20/border-influx-migrants-biden/ 3:55pm- During Friday's briefing, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked how she could consider the Biden Administration's response to illegal immigration along the U.S. Southern border a “success” when 10,000 people are crossing unlawfully every day. Incredibly, she blamed Republicans. Similarly, while speaking at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute's 46th Annual Awards Gala, President Joe Biden blamed “MAGA Republicans” for “gutting the immigration system” and undermining border security. 4:05pm- The author of “Gender Queer” said that the book is not meant for children. The book gained notoriety when, earlier this month, Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) read several, graphic passages from the book during a Senate hearing on “anti-book ban” legislation. 4:10pm- Earlier in the week, a missing Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II valued at $90 million was located. The stealth jet went missing after a pilot was forced to eject over North Carolina—a debris field has been spotted in Williamsburg County. We now have incredible audio of the pilot calling 9-1-1 and speaking to a very confused emergency operator. 4:20pm- The Daily Caller's Malik Lahrim spoke with people on the streets of Washington D.C.—asking liberals to explain why people “can change gender” but not change races. The answers are unsurprisingly hilarious. 4:30pm- Dr. Victoria Coates— Former Deputy National Security Advisor & the Vice President of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss a Washington Post report indicating that the Biden Administration will provide the Ukrainian military with long-range missiles.

Georgia officials say the names and addresses of jurors have been shared online, after they voted to indict former President Donald Trump. Also: Britain invites Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman to visit, outraging human rights groups. And the musician Nile Rodgers accuses a far-right political party in Switzerland of stealing his hit song "We Are Family".

It was the kind of send-off that Donald Trump and Boris Johnson would surely love: a packed house and a packed piazza outside for the state funeral of Silvio Berlusconi. AC Milan supporters chanted their longtime president's name after the death this week at 86 of Italy's longest-serving leader since World War II.

As football superstars like Karim Benzema head to Saudi Arabia, and the kingdom announces a bombshell golf merger, we're asking what role sport plays in Saudi soft power. And is this a case of "sportswashing"? We speak to Yasmine Farouk, a nonresident scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

Saudi Arabia's crown prince is mending fences with Syria and Iran, soothing rivalries with Gulf rivals and now welcoming the Biden administration's point man on security to Jeddah. Ten months after that frosty fist bump with the US president, Mohammed bin Salman is talking peace-brokering in Sudan and a winding down of his eight-year campaign in Yemen.

With film shoots, star-studded festivals and modern studios, the conservative kingdom of Saudi Arabia is sparing no expense to become a land of cinema. Showcasing the wonders of Saudi Arabia on the big screen also helps attract tourists and project a modern image of the country, which is usually better known for its serious attacks on personal freedoms. Young people are now rushing to multiplex cinemas created throughout the kingdom, which also welcome women – a situation that was unthinkable five years ago. Thomas Paga and Mathieu Beaudouin report.

The red carpet has been rolled out for Chinese President Xi Jinping in Riyadh. Xi is set to meet some 30 heads of state and businesses during his three-day state visit. China is the top customer for Saudi oil and both sides are keen to expand their relationship at a time of economic turmoil and geopolitical uncertainty. The Chinese leader's visit coincides with a US judge dismissing a lawsuit against the Saudi crown prince over the horrific 2018 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Attorney General Merrick Garland on Friday announced what amounts to a legal bombshell in the two most high profile investigations being carried out by his department. He's appointing a Special Council to oversee the ongoing probes into whether Donald Trump illegally sought to overturn the results of the 2020 Presidential Election. And whether he violated federal law by taking classified documents from the White House and then refused to turn them over in response to a court approved subpoena. Garland named Jack Smith, a career department prosecutor who once headed the Justice Department's Integrity Section to the job of determining Trump should be prosecuted. And yet Garland still has ultimate power to approve or reject whatever Smith decides. What does this move mean for Trump's future and the integrity of the Justice Department? We talk to Michael Zeldin, a former career prosecutor and Independent Council himself. And then we check in with Sarah Leah Whitson, executive director of the human rights group D.A.W.N. about the State Department's controversial decision to recommend shielding Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman from a lawsuit.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

US authorities have granted Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman immunity from prosecution in the United States. The Biden administration says this is the norm for a head of state and is not built on the merits of a case filed against him by the fiance of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi who was murdered in the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul.

On this episode of the NTEB Prophecy News Podcast, there is so much end times shenanigans going on it's hard to know where to start first, but the Bill Gates plan of blocking out the sun seems as good a place as any. Over in Europe, the Biden administration is covering for Russia, who exploded missiles over Poland killing two people that should have triggered a massive NATO response, but somehow did not. In Asia, the US Air Force Misawa Air Base in Japan urged its personnel to take shelter after news broke of a ballistic missile being launched off the east coast of North Korea. In San Francisco they officially launched a guaranteed income program for members of its transgender community yesterday. The Biden administration is under scrutiny for seeking immunity for Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman over the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, even though he had previously vowed to bring him to justice. All this is just the tip of the iceberg as you shall see on this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast! Remember last year when we told you about Bill Gates plan to block out the sun in order to ‘cool things down'? Remember how insane, ever for Bill Gates, that that sounded? Well, now it's a multi-million dollar official program of the Biden Administration. “On Oct. 13, the White House announced that it was funding a five-year-research plan into one of the most controversial proposals for fighting climate change out there: geoengineering, or the technologies and innovations that can be used to artificially modify the Earth's climate.” Can things get any crazier or any stupider than that? As it turns out, it sure can.

On 4th October 2022, Saudi Arabia was named as host country for the 2029 Asian Winter Games. The event takes place every four years, bringing together 10,000 athletes from all across the continent. The 2029 event will take place at the Trojena resort within the futuristic city of Neom, which is being developed in the middle of the desert. The name is a contraction of neo, which means new in Greek, and mostaqbal, which means future in Arabic. The Neom project was launched in 2017 by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman himself, who also recently took over the role of prime minister from his father King Salman. It's been grabbing attention for some time now, with development works expected to cost close to £450bn and reach completion by 2026. How can winter games be organised in the middle of the desert? Why is this project controversial? Where exactly will Neom be located in Saudi Arabia? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

In the UK, PM Truss has sent her finance minister packing in a budget u-turn, hoping to salvage a floundering premiership. In France, PSG's social media offensive against critics of the club and even their very own Mbappé, has been revealed.

In this episode, recorded at the 2022 Oslo Freedom Forum, we hear from Areej al-Sadhan, a Saudi activist and sister of Red Crescent humanitarian worker Abdulrahman al-Sadhan, who disappeared in 2018 during a mass crackdown on critics and rights activists in Saudi Arabia. Areej remains outspoken on the ill-treatment of her brother and other activists, and has publicly denounced Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman's brutal human right abuses.

Ski fields in Saudi Arabia? Not the most natural combination to spring to mind... but the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman wants to change that. And he's allocated $500 billion of the country's oil wealth to make it happen. Neom is the main project in Saudi Arabia's efforts to modernise the country. It's the ambition for a city of more than a million people, one of the largest hydrogen plants in the world, a raft of futuristic technology… and a ski resort. And it's all built on a patch of desert in the North East of Saudi Arabia near the Egypt and Jordan borders. Today Darcy and Sascha talk about the plan for Neom, and ask the question - can $500 billion dollars build you a ski resort in the middle of the desert?

On arrival in Jeddah, President Biden fist-bumped Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman. Whether he chose not to shake hands for health or diplomatic reasons, even to be meeting the man was something unthinkable back in 2019 after the murder of the Saudi journalist, Jamal Kashoggi, in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul - a murder that US intelligence believes was carried out with the approval of the Crown Prince. Also in the programme: two brothers of the former Sri Lankan president, Gotobaya Rajapaksa, have been barred from leaving the country after he fled in the face of mass protests; and the US Covid response chief tells us that more money is needed from Congress to keep infections at bay.

This week, Quinta and Scott were joined by Lawfare's new Managing Editor, Tyler McBrien, to hash through the week's national security news, including: “(John) Dean for a Day.” Surprise testimony by former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson has shed unprecedented light on Donald Trump's actions on Jan. 6th and reinvigorated discussions of possible criminal charges, among other consequences. Was this the smoking gun? What might it change moving forward?“The Prince and the Proffer.” A federal judge has asked the federal government to weigh in on whether Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman has sovereign immunity in relation to civil lawsuits over the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. What legal questions does this raise and what will the United States do?“When Federalism Gets Weird.” The Supreme Court has taken up Moore v. Harper, promising that it will soon weigh in on the controversial proposition that the Constitution gives state legislatures authority over federal elections that even state constitutions and courts cannot supersede. What could this case mean for American democracy?For object lessons, Quinta endorsed a visual demonstration of the challenges of historical research posted by law professor Julian Mortenson. Scott urged listeners to think outside the box while using their grills this summer, most notably by making the most under appreciated grill option: grill pizza. And Tyler endorsed Rebecca Solnit's new biography of George Orwell as a gardener, Orwell's Roses.Some of the other pieces we discussed in this episode include:Alan Rozenshtein and Jed Shugerman's article for Lawfare documenting how Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony convinced the former President Trump could be criminally prosecuted;Former federal judge and conservative legal luminary Michael Luttig's Twitter thread on the originalism and federalism issues with independent state legislature doctrine.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman met Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu in an unannounced, 'secret' meeting at the Saudi city of Neom, with a little help from the Americans. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Mossad chief Yossi Cohen too were present. In episode 624 of Cut the Clutter, Shekhar Gupta weighs in on what this implies for the world and the region. Also, there's some curious chatter from Pakistan. 

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Democrat, trumps the Donald. Government shutdown ramifications, per Air Traffic Control, and as seen with Puerto Rico.

When Donald Trump was presented with the overwhelming evidence of Russian interference in the US elections (of which he was Exhibit A) he said, "I don't believe it." When presented with proof of the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman's role in ordering the murder of Jamal Khashoggi he said, "I don't believe it." When presented with his own government's assessment of the catastrophic costs of climate change he said, you guessed it, "I don't believe it." Who needs rose-colored glasses when you have your head that far up your own narcissism? Is this a canny strategy or is Trump our Maroon-in-Chief? Kori Schake offers Henry the IVth, Part 1 as one of her Tiara-of-Optimism worthy examples.

When presented with proof of the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman's role in ordering the murder of Jamal Khashoggi he said, "I don't believe it." When presented with his own government's assessment of the catastrophic costs of climate change he said, you guessed it, "I don't believe it." Who needs rose-colored glasses when you have your head that far up your own narcissism? Is this a canny strategy or is Trump our Maroon-in-Chief? Kori Schake offers Henry the IVth, Part 1 as one of her Tiara-of-Optimism worthy examples. Mieke Eoyang and Emily Brandwin are not quite so sanguine but all discuss this phenomenon as well as Russia & Ukraine, Brexit, our self-inflicted border crisis and more! Tune in!

Can anyone or anything challenge Saudi authoritarianism? HARDtalk’s Stephen Sackur speaks to Abdullah Alaoudh, a Saudi exile whose father is facing charges that carry a death sentence. President Trump says he doesn’t know whether Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi and frankly he doesn’t seem to care. Safe to assume then that he also doesn’t care about the hundreds of clerics, intellectuals, and dissident activists locked up by MBS’s security forces. Image: Abdullah Alaoudh (Credit: Getty Images)

The CIA concluded Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing, but President Trump has remained steadfast in his support of the U.S. - Saudi relationship.

Zack, Jenn, and Alex break down the debate over the legacy of the 9/11 attacks: Did al-Qaeda get what it wanted? On Elsewhere, we look at Russia’s latest bizarre attempt to deflect blame for the UK spy poisoning by posting a questionable interview with the supposed suspects. Zack makes an epistemology joke, Alex negs Salisbury, and Jenn labels Russians a “tropical people.” References: The Foreign Policy article that kicked off this conversation.   During the conversation about torture in the US, Jenn mentioned a Dick Cheney quote and Alex referenced a quote from President Obama. Jenn recommends this article for deeper understanding about al-Qaeda’s goal of bleeding America economically and militarily to convince the country to get out of the Middle East. She also cited this statement of the organization’s goals from 1998. And here’s more on the “Why aren’t we attacking Sweden?” argument. Ayman al-Zawahiri’s Knights Under the Prophet’s Banner recounts his early days in Egypt, and Gilles Kepel’s book Muslim Extremism in Egypt: The Prophet and Pharaoh talks about the history of the jihadi movement in Egypt. And Jenn recommends this article about US counterterrorism assistance to Egypt in the 1990s. More on Jared Kushner’s friendship with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman. Jenn read from two Al Qaeda 9/11 anniversary messages, one from 2017 and one from this week. Zack mentioned research into the Iraq war’s role in the 2008 recession, and the fact that people born after 9/11 are now able to enlist. The RT interview that we discussed in Elsewhere. And an explanation of Johny Johny, for listeners fortunate enough to have so far avoided this corner of the internet.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
