About this listen

Episode two examines MBS's ruthless consolidation of power through the November twenty seventeen Ritz Carlton purge, where over two hundred princes, ministers, and billionaires were detained and forced to surrender wealth. Prince Alwaleed bin Talal and other powerful figures learned no one was untouchable. The episode explores the October twenty eighteen murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Istanbul, a brutal act that permanently stained MBS's reputation. Yet simultaneously, genuine social reforms emerged: women gained driving rights, cinemas reopened, entertainment flourished. However, activists who fought for these changes found themselves imprisoned, revealing the stark contradiction between social liberalization and political repression that defines MBS's rule.
