On this episode of Political Talk - which was taped on Halloween - we discussed three topics. The three - drones, the 2012 attack on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi and money in politics - are all relevant issues that span from Africa to the United States.

Drones are now used in Africa and the U.S. government says that a member of Al-Shabab was killed by a strike. Drones may be the future or warfare, but is that a good thing? We talk about multiple issues raised by the United States' continued use of the unmanned aircraft.

The victims of the embassy attack in Benghazi are back in the spotlight. The victims are on the Rewards for Justice list and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., has said he would prevent President Obama's appointments from getting a vote on the Senate floor unless they testify. 

Jesse Jackson, Jr. reported to a North Carolina federal prison. He is serving time for personally using campaign funds to buy personal luxuries. Los Angeles City Council President Herb Wesson, Jr. wants to increase the monetary value of gifts given to members of the City Council. The increase would be from $100 to $150.
