Summary

China is proposing a "national security" law that is sparking protests across Hong Kong. Mike Gonzalez, a senior fellow at The Heritage Foundation, joins the podcast to discuss what is at stake with this proposed law, how it would effectively nullify the “one country, two systems” model between Hong Kong and China if enacted, how it would hamper Hong Kong's presence as a global financial center, and more. We also cover these stories: President Donald Trump is not pleased with California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s push for widespread mail-in voting. Minneapolis asks the FBI investigate a police arrest that resulted in the death of a black man. Video shows a white police officer kneeling on the neck of the man, who says, “I can’t breathe.” A widower wants Twitter to remove Trump’s tweets suggesting that his late wife was a murder victim.
