The hosts also mention other cases, including Nawaf Ibn Talal Arrachid, Abdelaziz ben Fahd, Wajdi Ghezzawi, and Saad al Faqih.
The episode suggests that the Saudi royal family is responsible for these disappearances and assassinations, and that they have a history of silencing critics and opponents. The hosts also criticize the Saudi media for focusing on trivial matters, such as the appearance of Jamal Khashoggi's fiancée, rather than addressing the serious issues of human rights abuses and corruption.
The episode ends with a message of hope and defiance, stating that the oppressors will eventually face justice and that the truth will come to light.
