President Biden’s Controversial Trip To The Middle East

President Biden is making a trip to the Middle East, making stops at both Israel and Saudi Arabia. During his time abroad, the President hopes to discuss the issue of oil in an attempt to lower gas prices for Americans. The President’s plan to meet Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is not without controversy, as the CIA concluded him to be responsible for the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Former Secretary of State and FOX News Contributor Mike Pompeo joins the Rundown to discuss how the U.S. maintains partnerships while dealing with human rights issues, how the President’s energy policies have impacted prices at the pump, and why he believes Iran to be the biggest threat to the United States.

Three months ago, Elon Musk struck a $44 billion deal to buy Twitter. On Friday, Musk announced intentions to walk away from the deal altogether after claiming the social media company breached its contract by not accurately reporting “bot accounts” on its platform. In response, the Twitter board is taking legal action to enforce the original multibillion dollar deal with the Tesla CEO. Professor at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, David Larcker joins the podcast to explain the different ways this situation could be resolved, how a conflict like this likely unfolds in court and why Musk’s accusations about material breaches may come down to data analysis.
