Show Notes

In this week’s episode of What in the World, A’ndre and Ryan dissect the biggest global news story of the week: Nicki Minaj and the controversy around  her cousin’s friend, a story that’s elicited reactions from the White House and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson. 

All kidding aside,  A’ndre and Ryan react to the announcement that the U.S. will provide Australia with nuclear powered submarines, a decision which has upset France. They also provide the latest news from Afghanistan, France’s killing of a prominent Sahara ISIS leader, and a scandal around a new World Bank report. The two also assess the recent revelations about General Mark Milley and former President Trump, as reported by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa.
