Summary
Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" gives a first look to the stories you need to know to start your day including Xi Jinping's blunt warning to President Trump over Taiwan during their high-stakes Beijing summit and why tensions between China, Taiwan, and the United States may be quietly escalating behind the scenes; dramatic reports of physical confrontations, Secret Service standoffs, surveillance concerns, and chaos erupting during Trump's China trip; and the FBI's massive reward offer for former intelligence officer Monica Witt, accused of defecting to Iran and exposing classified American secrets, and much more.
