About this episode
U2 frontman Bono attempted to shame President Trump with a wildly inaccurate claim on Joe Rogan’s show, but Rogan wasn’t having it. What followed was a brutal exposure of just how misleading and unsubstantiated Bono’s accusations really were. In this episode, we dive deep into the full context behind Bono’s 300,000-death claim, the single dubious source behind it, and how it represents the crumbling last gasp of a global progressive elite desperately clinging to power and privilege. -- Today, you can get an exclusive offer by clicking the link below, just use code: “Turley” for 25% off your entire order. https://www.mybrightcore.com/?srsltid=AfmBOopH6JV0KFO7blI-kcFPcWHP5aTyRBCu-s_bcFRkmYFrkyzul-rf *The content presented by sponsors may contain affiliate links.
