Summary

On today’s episode, we dive into the resilience and courage of those standing up for truth and freedom. We open by reflecting on the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk, highlighting how students and activists at Turning Point USA’s first campus event since his death are rallying to continue his mission. From touching moments with Erika Kirk, who shares her message of forgiveness, to rare footage of Trump and Elon Musk coming together in Charlie’s memory, we explore the unity and determination driving this movement. We also cover the latest security threats in New York, including the Secret Service’s dismantling of a telecommunications network near the UN General Assembly, underscoring the ever-present challenges facing our society.

Our featured guest, Lily Tang Williams, shares her remarkable journey from growing up under China’s Cultural Revolution to becoming a U.S. citizen and political leader. Born in Chengdu to working-class parents, Lily endured extreme poverty, repression, and a lack of basic freedoms before escaping to the United States in 1988. Her story is one of resilience, courage, and the pursuit of liberty. As a former law professor, corporate executive, and entrepreneur, Lily has brought her experience and dedication to public service, running for Congress in New Hampshire’s 2nd District in 2022 and 2024, and now announcing her 2026 campaign. She discusses why she is running again, her vision to “Keep the American Dream Alive,” and how her experiences in communist China inform her views on education, freedom, and governance in America today.

We also examine international concerns about free speech and rising unrest, featuring clips from England where citizens are protesting against government overreach and immigration policies. The episode concludes with a powerful call to action on government transparency, focusing on the release of Epstein-related documents and the importance of holding institutions accountable. This episode is a must-watch for anyone committed to justice, liberty, and the defense of free speech at home and abroad.
