Week in Review: The Cover-up in the Twitter Revelations
Show Notes
- More batches of “Twitter Files” expose just how much the social media giant obeyed the FBI. But a crucial aspect of these secret dealings is still being covered up: Barack Obama’s role in creating this corrupt relationship.
- Japan announced its intent to double its military spending over the next few years. Many Americans are cheering this as a hedge against China, but there’s an important truth they’re missing.
- The outgoing Democrat-controlled Congress just approved a mammoth $1.7 trillion budget for next year with the help of Republicans who apparently love the Democrat agenda.
- We also talk about a leaked EU document that undermines Israel’s claim to its territory, Benjamin Netanyahu pulling a governing coalition together, Ukraine’s president winning Europe’s Charlemagne Prize, Russia threatening to build up military presence near Finland and Sweden, and the “clash of civilizations” that erupted over World Cup soccer matches.
