Blinken's Fentanyl Diplomacy, China's Cuban Spy Base & 3 Quick Hits. RP Headline Update 6.20.23.

On Today’s Headline Update Show for Ranting Politics, we cover the following headlines:   Blinken’s Fentanyl Diplomacy in China, The Unveiling of China's Spy Base in Cuba, & Today’s Quick Hits. 

Key Points:

• The U.S. Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, has embarked on a high-stakes diplomatic mission to Beijing, seeking China's cooperation to curb the production of this deadly drug.  Regular listeners of Ranting Politics will recall our special segment a few weeks ago outlining China’s primary role in the Fentanyl crisis 
• For our 2nd headline update we look at the shadowy world of international espionage, revelations often come with a sense of déjà vu. The recent confirmation by a Biden administration official that China has been operating a spy base in Cuba since at least 2019 is one such instance. 

3 Quick Hits:

1. Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, will plead guilty to two tax misdemeanors, the Justice Department said Tuesday in court filings. 
2.  YouTube removes Jordan Petersons interview with Democratic Presidential Contender RFK Jr over what it calls a violation of their general vaccine misinformation policy.  
3. breaking news that The Federal Judge presiding over the case against former President Trump in the classified documents case ordered a trial date to begin as soon as Aug. 14th.
