The Daily Signal - What’s Life Like in North Korea? A Defector Explains.

Growing up in North Korea, Hyun-Seung Lee says, he had no real understanding of the concept of freedom or human rights. The communist regime monitors citizens so closely, he couldn't speak freely even in his own home, says Lee, who goes by the nickname Arthur.


“I believe that in my home, there [were] bugs or listening devices, so honestly, when we were in North Korea among our family, we cannot share honest opinion[s],” Lee says. 


When he was 29, Lee escaped North Korea with some of his family and eventually made his way to America. Today, he is director of the D.C. office of the Korean Conservative Political Action Conference. 


Lee joins “The Daily Signal Podcast" to talk about how his childhood in North Korea informs what he wants Americans to know about life under a totalitarian regime.

  • Inflation in the U.S. soars to a 40-year high.

The Daily Signal - Are Bitcoin and Other Forms of Cryptocurrency the Future of Money?

Cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin and ethereum are popping up everywhere. But many Americans may not completely understand what they are.

As governments around the globe struggle to legislate on this new digital money, it can be useful to know exactly what’s going on.

Heritage Foundation research fellow Peter St. Onge, an economist, says he sees incredible possibilities for a future with various forms of cryptocurrency.

"You could replace the entire insurance industry with a couple of lines of code, and then you could run those on something like ethereum, so the concept of cryptocurrency is astoundingly powerful," St. Onge says. "The main application most people are aware of is bitcoin, but there are many, many applications. We've only just begun with it."

Unfortunately, governments seem intent on limiting cryptocurrencies.

"There are a number of government agencies that have been trying to either harness bitcoin or to destroy it intentionally and they haven't really resolved who's the top dog on that hill," St. Onge says. "It has created an enormous amount of regulatory risk within crypto."

St. Onge joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss what the future holds for cryptocurrencies and what you need to know.

We also cover these stories:

  • President Joe Biden announces a ban on energy imports from Russia.
  • The Florida Senate passes the Parental Rights in Education bill amid distortions from the left.
  • U.S. gas prices reach a historic high.
