SHOW NOTES: WW3?! Why You SHOULD Care About China Invading Taiwan!
Brodigan - October 06, 2021 at 09:19AM

We're finding out a lot about Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen, including her donations and how responsible she was for censoring THAT Hunter Biden story. Also, China is dangerously close to pushing us toward World War III. We'll explain how.
