Ep 26: DOJ investigating “bribery-for-pardon” scheme, AG William Barr lays to rest claims of widespread voter fraud, Anniversary of John Brown’s execution, Obama slams “defund the police” again & more

The World At Large

On this episode of TWAL, we begin with news of an investigation into a potential bribery for pardons scheme. This past week, heavily redacted documents were made public bringing this into the forefront.

More news emanating from the nation’s capital is that of one pertaining to Attorney General William Barr. AG Barr finally out to bed baseless claims from President Trump in the lead-up to last month‘s election of voter fraud.

Next, December 2nd marked the 161st anniversary of the execution of slavery abolitionist John Brown. Listen in as Que gives the listener a brief summary into who the man was and his exploits that led to his death.

Finally, Barack Obama yet again takes another swipe at “defund the police”. This go-round he was met with resistance by some progressive Democrats who say that it’s not just a slogan but instead a policy demand.

The show is then closed out with, “The Last Call”.
