Securing America with Frank Gaffney Podcast

With Lily Tang Williams

LILY TANG WILLIAMS, Chinese Dissident, Lawyer and Law Assistant Professor, former Candidate, Colorado State House and Senate, @Lily4Liberty

• Lily Tang Williams, born two years before the Chinese Cultural Revolution, grew up believing that Chairman Mao Zedong was God. What happened to make her flee China in search of a better life? 
• Williams delves into the Great Proletariat Cultural Revolution, the Black blocks, the Red Guards, and the “Reactionary” classes
• Did Mao succeed in destroying Chinese traditions?
• Williams: If you don’t institute identity politics, you can’t have a cultural revolution - 1/3 of traditional Chinese relics were destroyed during the Cultural Revolution in China
• Following the uptick in violence caused by the Red Guards, Chairman Mao decreed that all “Urban Youths”, except for the youngest in every family be sent to the countryside to undergo rustification
• Threats of mass suicides were used by the sent-down youths to allow them to return to the cities in China
• Censorship and mass surveillance in China today - When your rights are no longer derived from God but instead from Bureaucrats, you are no longer free 
• Williams: Xi Jinping’s aspirations are not a “China Dream,” it’s a Chinese Communist Party dream

• Amb. Pete Hoekstra: Congress, in a bipartisan way, is recognizing the threat posed by Communist China

GORDON CHANG, Contributor, Gatestone Institute, Newsweek, Author, “The Coming Collapse of China,” “Nuclear Showdown: North Korea Takes the World, “Losing South Korea,” and “The Great US-China Tech War,” @Gordongchang

• Gordon Chang: The former Chinese ambassador to the U.S. should have been returned long ago
• Chang: The U.S. government should not be picking winners and looser, but we do need to fund technology
• Chang: You are not going to get the dialogue you want with China if you are seen as being the needy party

SAM FADDIS, former Clandestine Operations Officer, CIA, former Congressional Candidate, Editor, ANDMagazine.com, Author, “Beyond Repair: The Decline and Fall of the CIA,” @RealSamFaddis

• Sam Faddis talks about "Bomb Trains" and how the Biden administration has greatly endangered the U.S. fuel industry, as well as, the safety of many Americans
• Faddis: The FBI is more concerned with charging the January 6th Rioters than finding those anarchists responsible for train derailments throughout the Pacific northwest
