Summary
Tim, Ian, and Lydia join survivor of Mao's cultural revolution, former Republican candidate, and advocate Lily Tang Williams to examine whether there are any parallels between Mao's China and the modern US, what it took to wake up to the truth about Mao, why the American Bill of Rights is crucially important, a social credit score enforced by social media, and how America believed they could 'fix' China, but the opposite ended up happening.

| 0:05.2 | US is now essentially liquidating assets to pay its debts, which is scary, but hopefully they'll |
| 0:10.4 | raise the debt ceiling because it seems kind of dumb not to anyway, they just do it and keep |
| 0:13.5 | taking in more and more debt, but at the same time, the eviction moratorium is ended. It seems like |

| 1:10.0 | critical race theory. We are joined by Lili Tong Williams. Do you want to introduce yourself? |
| 1:15.7 | Oh, hi, team. Thanks for having me. Nice to meet you because I've been watching you guys for a while. |
| 1:20.5 | Yes, I actually was born in Chengdu Sichuan province of PRC two years before Mao's cultural |
| 1:27.9 | revolution, two years, so I did not know anything, I was a child. And so from 1966 to 1976, |
