King Salman of Saudi Arabia ordered a cabinet reshuffle that consolidated power for Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS).

Speculation regarding the Saudi government's eventual explanation for Khashoggi's death includes the possibility of a "rendition gone wrong" or an accidental killing. There are suggestions of palace intrigue where King Salman might use the incident to discipline or remove his son, the Crown Prince, from power. Predictions indicate the Saudis will likely blame a rogue operation and execute several conspirators to close the matter.

President Trump spoke with King Salman, commending the anti-terror efforts and discussing the $15 billion purchase of the THAAD missile defense system. Trump explicitly asked the King to consider listing Saudi Aramco, a trillion-dollar oil company, on an American stock exchange. The hosts suggest the recent missile attack may have served as a "sales job" to justify further military investments and the US listing.
