Immunity for MBS, Hypocrisy in Qatar & Another Special Counsel

In this episode, Alex goes over some recent controversies and hypocrosies involving the FIFA World Cup in Qatar. He discusses a troubling app that EU countries have warned should not be downloaded in Qatar but is required by the government to have on a phone. He also discusses how Qatari officials have decided that alcohol will not be sold at the stadiums and that the infrastructure may not be as well-designed as some had hoped. Finally, he discusses how the November schedule could cause injuries in players and has caused disasterous changes to the European football season. Then, Alex discusses how according to Reuters, “The Biden administration ruled on Thursday that Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has immunity from a lawsuit over the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, drawing immediate condemnation from the slain journalist's former fiancee.” This is because MBS was made the Prime Minister and is now the head of state. This allows him international immunity from U.S. investigations. Finally, Alex discusses how Merrick Garland has appointed a special counsel to investigate Donald Trump’s mishandling of documents at Mar-a-Lago, as well as his actions on January 6th.
