Since the beginning of November, Cody Howdeshell has been in Hong Kong, delivering first aid to the protesters. He's seen some of the violence first hand: the Hong Kong police, he says of one time, "went in and they beat these kids that were already half dead with their nightsticks and began to absolutely tear them out with no mercy, probably dislocating limbs, and shoved them against the wall and arrested them." He joins the podcast to share why the protesters want freedom and more, what he thinks will happen in the long term, and what he believes Americans should learn from Hong Kong's experience.

"Nothing in communism is voluntary, and it has to be enforced with violence at the end of the day against those that would preserve their own freedom and liberty," Howdeshell says.

We also cover the following stories:

• What happened during Ambassador Gordon Sondland's hearing.
• Jussie Smollet is fighting Chicago in the courts.
• Once again, Californians are facing power outages.

Should students go straight to college after High school? Tommy Nelson, Senior Pastor of Denton Bible Church, would argue no. “Colleges now are trying to make you a living, but not a life,” he says. To combat this problem, Nelson has created GAP, a 9-month leadership program where high school graduates can learn theology, life skills, job skills, and more before attending a university.

In today’s episode, Nelson discusses why he started GAP, how it operates, and how we can prepare young people to stand against the rise of secularism on college campuses. Visit https://www.dbcmedia.org/ to learn more about GAP.

“I consider myself a liberal. I still consider myself a feminist,” says writer Meghan Daum. But the past few years have left her shaken. “I did not feel that the new left was necessarily representing my values all the time. There was a sort of purity-policing that interestingly we used to associate with the right," she says. Between #MeToo, smugness on social media, the Covington high schooler incident, and an interest in the so-called "intellectual dark web", Daum is carving out her own political path.

We also cover the following stories:

• What happened during the first public impeachment hearing.
• Hillary Clinton says Margaret Thatcher wasn't worthy of being in her new book about gutsy women.
• Disney is warning viewers of its older films that they may contain outdated cultural depictions.
