Speaker 1: We have yet another potential Trump criminal scandal on our hands. Donald Trump's
Saudi Arabia payments are sparking fresh calls for sparking calls for a fresh investigation. Writes
U.N. Palmor for Newsweek. That's take a look at this article. Donald Trump should be investigated
over the payments he received to host the Saudi Arabia backed live golf tour at his resorts.
According to an organization set up by supporters of the murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi. The
democracy for the Arab World Now Group has called for the DOJ and Congress to look into the, quote,
disturbing facts and circumstances surrounding that golf tour and ties to Trump. On January 13th,
it was revealed during court proceedings that the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund, that's the
sovereign wealth fund headed by the country's crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, owns 93%
of live and pays 100% of the costs. Dionne claims this is the first time that the full extent of the
sovereign wealth funds ownership in live golf has been disclosed. Understand that this immediately
points to money transfers from the Saudi royal family through that sovereign wealth fund to
Trump by virtue of paying to host the live golf tournaments at Trump's golf courses, including
Bedminster in 2022. This potentially relates to money laundering. This potentially relates
to an influence scam. And of course, all of the answers to what we are looking for are found in
Hunter Biden's laptop. Right. That must be the answer. No, listen, in all seriousness,
we all suspected this. We all suspected that this golf tournament and Saudi Arabia and this
goes beyond just the United States. This was a mechanism to transfer huge amounts of money.
It could be to Trump, it could be to other other world leaders, because there are live golf
tournaments in various places. And when we talk about Trump and influence peddling, it already is
it's beyond the pale that Trump's Washington, D.C. hotel is not the subject of more scrutiny, because
during Trump's presidency, that hotel was a nexus of massive money transfers and demolish events
that were received by Trump world leaders looking to ingratiate themselves with Donald Trump,
saying, Hey, well, I'll stay at Trump's hotel and I'll mention that I'm staying at Trump's hotel,
that it's a it's a borderline crime that that hasn't been further investigated. But this one
was so obvious. This is so obvious. Trump was criticized for hosting a bunch of different
live golf events at his resorts, but we didn't understand the full scope of what is essentially
the royal family owning this entire thing. The Saudi royal family controls the sovereign wealth
fund. Sovereign Wealth Fund owns 93% of the golf tournament and pays 100% of those costs. This is
the revelation in practice that millions of dollars from the Saudis have been going not
in terms of arms deals. Arms deals are bad enough, but at least they are public or semipublic. This
was a subterfuge of sorts. There should be another investigation and it is exhausting to even keep
up with this. The other aspect to the Saudi Trump connection is, of course, Jared Kushner
and Jared Kushner's role and connections and relationships with these very same folks involved
in the sovereign wealth fund. Are we ever going to know the full scope? I don't believe we are.
I don't know that we are ever going to unwind everything that went on during those insane
four years, But one of the things we can do is do everything within our power to prevent
there being another four years just like it. Make sure you are subscribed on YouTube to the

is happening on YouTube with the algorithm where it's not just The David Pakman Show. Many channels
like ours are being deprioritized. It has been years since we have talked about this because
it has not been an issue for years. Something is happening systematically to a half dozen channels
like ours and it seems to be algorithmic. So the best thing you can do. Leave a comment
