Joining us for this episode is Jackson Hinkle, one of the most sanctioned political commentators, a people's ambassador of the United States, and a very divisive figure among American netizens described by right-wing detractors as a communist traitor, and by baizuo detractors as a fascist national chauvinistic bigot. Together, we delve into the shared concerns of ordinary people both in Taiwan and the United States, highlighting how their interests often clash with the agendas of the elites on Wall Street and in Washington. We also discuss how U.S. foreign policies go against the interests of the vast majority of the world's population, including Americans.
