    Beijing tried to silence a movement, Shen Yun fought through intimidation, backlash, to expose the truth

    On this episode of the podcast, Amanda Head sits down with Levi Browde, executive director of the Falun Dafa Information Center, to uncover the story behind Shen Yun as it marks its 20th anniversary. Founded in 2006, Shen Yun was created to revive and preserve 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture—heritage that Browde says has been systematically suppressed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Through a powerful series of 20 vignettes, the production brings ancient legends, spiritual traditions, and modern-day stories to life on stage. But behind the beauty is a darker reality. Browde details how Shen Yun and its performers have faced ongoing threats, including alleged sabotage efforts and intimidation tied to the CCP’s broader crackdown, particularly against practitioners of Falun Gong. This conversation is about cultural survival, political pressure, and why Shen Yun has become a global symbol of resistance and awareness against authoritarian control.

    $1B spent by teacher unions on political power grabs, Ryan Walters exposes the fight over your kids’ education

    On this episode of the podcast, Ryan Walters, former Oklahoma State Superintendent and now CEO of the Teacher Freedom Alliance, joins to break down his ongoing fight to reshape American education. Walters details his efforts in Oklahoma to eliminate CRT from classrooms, expand school choice, and return decision-making power to parents. He exposes the massive financial muscle of teachers unions, revealing more than $10 million spent to oppose his reforms and over $1 billion in political spending over the past decade. Walters argues that this influence has allowed the left to maintain a grip on education, often at the expense of student outcomes. With momentum building, including a 14,000-member surge in his organization, Walters makes the case that a growing number of Americans are pushing back against what he describes as ideological indoctrination in schools, and are demanding accountability, transparency, and parental control in education.

    Amanda recounts White House dinner terror; TikTok & China trade still threaten America, Trump going to Beijing

    On this episode, Amanda Head talks with Michael Sobolik to break down the real stakes behind the U.S.–China relationship, and why it matters more than ever for America’s future. From TikTok and data security to energy independence and global trade, Sobolik unpacks how China maintains leverage on the world stage, including through vast oil reserves and diversified energy sources. He raises serious concerns about Beijing’s reliability on key issues like fentanyl enforcement, citing a recent White House report that casts doubt on China’s commitments. The conversation dives into the growing push to reshore pharmaceutical manufacturing, highlighting the national security risks of relying on China for critical medical supply chains. On TikTok, Sobolik argues the current deal falls short, warning that ties to ByteDance still pose unresolved concerns. They also explore Taiwan’s defense spending and why its security is directly tied to U.S. strategic interests. Amanda also brings a personal, on-the-ground perspective, recounting her experience at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner when a gunman attempted to breach security. The moment underscores the very real and immediate nature of national security threats, connecting global instability to risks felt at home.
