8/12/22 Ben Freeman on how Taiwan and Other Foreign Governments Control American Foreign Policy - a podcast by Scott Horton

Ben Freeman is back to talk about who’s really influencing United States foreign policy. Freeman recently wrote a paper about the Taiwan lobby. He talks to Scott about how this Taiwan lobby was involved in making the recent Pelosi trip happen.
