Aired Monday, May 22, 2017   ·   10:00 AM CDT   ·   33 minutes

The last time President Obama arrived in Saudi Arabia there was no fanfare whatsoever and the king didn’t even show up to greet him. This Saturday, in his first foreign trip, President Trump arrived in Riyadh with all the pomp and celebration fit for a king. Soon thereafter, he received the highest Medal of Honor that can be bestowed by the king on a foreigner. On today’s program, host Brent Nagtegaal discusses the significance of Mr. Trump’s visit to Saudi Arabia, as well as the air of nervousness pervading Israel before his arrival on Monday.
