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.\n"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. \nWe also cover the following stories:\n\nWhat happened during Ambassador Gordon Sondland's hearing.\n\nJussie Smollet is fighting Chicago in the courts.\n\nOnce again, Californians are facing power outages.\n\n\nThe Daily Signal podcast is available on\xa0Ricochet,iTunes,\xa0Pippa,\xa0Google Play, or\xa0Stitcher.
