the jurogan experience what what happened um with uh with the dissident um is you know the the film is kind of the untold story uh behind the murder of jamal khashoggi you know the the washington post journalist walks into the saudi consulate in istanbul in october 2018 and uh is murdered uh i mean just the most horrific ghastly murder um they uh he walks into the consulate um they basically you know strangle him start embalming him as he's alive uh and kill him and then bombing him while he was alive yes because they wanted the blood to coagulate because they then dismembered him and caught him into pieces to get him out of the consulate and uh you know and this was ordered by muhammad bin salman the you know the the crown prince of saudi arabia that's proven that he ordered it well yeah i i think we have to go and say do do we believe the cia do we believe british intelligence french intelligence uh do we believe turkish intelligence um turkey um there was a listening device in in the consulate um we don't know how the consulate was bugged but it was bugged and so the entire audio of khashoggi's murder and even the planning of his murder was captured by the turks and i obtained the transcript as part of making this film and there were independent investigations conducted agnes calamart of the u.n of course the turks cia and all of them concluded with a very very high level of confidence that mbs ordered the murder and if you understand how saudi arabia works right i mean this is considered an absolute monarchy this is an authoritarian regime right and you have probably 90 percent you know and i'm making up this statistic but something of the entire
wealth of a country controlled by one family so the idea that you could send 15 people on private jets owned by the kingdom of saudi arabia traveling on diplomatic passports people in the kill team uh one of the guys was uh mutreb who was muhammad bin salman's you know personal security had a security other guy was altobazi who is the state forensic examiner and coroner who came with a bone saw another guy alice siri is one of the top ranking generals and the list goes on and on and and so the idea that you could have this carried out without the approval of the crown prince would be staggering to believe i mean it's it's it's next to impossible because who else would order this crime and especially when you're dealing with it with an absolute monarchy um anybody who did this without that sort of permission right i mean that's this is uh you know saudi arabia carried out 800 beheadings last year so talk about off with your head i mean everywhere i go they might not recognize me but then if i they say hey what are you doing i go oh yeah did you see icarus i mean everywhere i go in the world they all saw it like i i can't even find people that haven't seen it at this point i mean it's it feels like the whole planet watched it and that is the extraordinary power of netflix that when they put out a film it releases into like 197 countries across like 50 languages all at the same time the entire world has access to it and the entire world should have access to this film but they're not going to have access to this film because there are business interests at stake there are investment interests at stake and and that is really disappointing and so i'm shocked that that i believe with great wealth
and with great power comes great responsibility and if these business titans that that have these huge companies lose their moral compass lose their direction to basically say okay this might not be the very best thing for our business or our subscriber growth but god damn it people should see this wow we got to do something about it wow there are people losing their lives and sitting in jails and maybe our distributing this film can change that maybe our letting our hundreds of millions of subscribers see this can actually bring about positive change for humanity and they don't do that that's really it's it's it's soul-crushing i i got a a message and i hope hatisha is not going to be mad at me um she his fiancee sent me a message to two two days ago and she said hi dear brian i've read all the reviews of the film and i'm very encouraged they seem to like the film and they have a really good idea about it the main three points they mentioned is that you're brave that omar struggles and my position is fighting for human rights i'm glad i'm proud of you every day you made history you did an incredible job believe me all is well now i'm getting better every day this trauma has created a new hedesia i think i understand that every day i'm not the same person two years as i was two years before i got a lot and i learned a lot and i made some good friends the most important one is you and your team thor that's thor halverson the president of the human rights foundation who financed the film and jake swanko he is my cinematographer my life changed and my opinion also changed and my daily life also changed the one thing that did not change is my love
and my heart it's still full of love for humanity and jamal's soul i believe that if we change life it will be with love and with love for our values and that's extraordinary to me to see that his fiancee two years on has such that incredible positive outlook on in war in the world and i'm so honored to receive that message and at the same time you know i know that for the world to actually learn of her story and her fight for jamal's life and for justice um is going to be a struggle because of the uh um whatever you want to call it business interests of these major platforms that come ahead of seeking any sort of accountability for human rights abuses and the potential to make the world a better place and the potential to make the world a better pace but it might not align with their goals for subscriber growth in that region of the world or it might not coincide with possible future investments or investments or shareholder value and that's that's unfortunate it's unfortunate if the richest man on planet earth or now the second i guess uh jeff bezos uh is more concerned with his bottom line than he is concerned about seeking justice and accountability for a man who worked for him who was murdered while working for his newspaper and that he and his company could have stepped forward to see to it that the world truly had access to this catch new episodes of the joe rogan experience for free only on spotify watch back catalog jre videos on spotify including clips easily seamlessly switch between video and audio experience on spotify you can listen to the jre in the background while using other apps and can download episodes to save on data cost all for free spotify is absolutely free
