    Tiananmen Square 1989: The Communist Party Official's Son Who Stood Against the Party | Orren Wang
    2026/10/01
    Guest: Orren Wang was born in rural China in the early 1960s, just after the famine of 1959 to 1962, to parents who never spent a day in school. His father taught himself to read and was recruited by the Chinese Communist Party as a township-level official; his mother was illiterate all her life and sent her children to a school carved out of the village ancestral hall. Wang taught himself English by radio, took part in the December 1986 student protest in his provincial capital and the nationwide 1989 democracy movement as a graduate student in Chengdu, Sichuan, and came to the United States as a student in 1994. He earned a master's degree in accounting at Western Kentucky University, is a Certified Public Accountant, became a Christian in China, and became a United States citizen fourteen years after he arrived.

Her family spent ten months in a refugee camp in Yugoslavia and thirteen years in Brazil before immigrating legally to the United States.

    Xi Jinping in America: Give Him Face, But Do Not Give Him an Inch | Sasha Gong
    2026/09/25

    Guest: Sasha Gong is a former China director at Voice of America and a former China expert at the AFL-CIO. Born in China, she was sent to the countryside at nine, had three years of schooling before college, and spent a year in a Chinese jail as a young dissident before Xi Jinping's father ordered her group released.

    Key topics:

    • The illusion of power, and why Trump the businessman is giving it to him

    • Is China helping Iran? Gong says not much, and Beijing would abandon Tehran when it became useless

    • China's economy: almost 19 percent youth unemployment, 300 million who need a job, imports to the U.S. down 25 to 30 percent

    • What the CIA learned from the Soviet archives, and whether Xi Jinping knows

    • How a reporter who did not like Trump came to back his industrial policy

  • Poll Workers Wanted: Most Who Show Up Have Never Done It Before | Jason Snead

    Poll Workers Wanted: Most Who Show Up Have Never Done It Before | Jason Snead
    2026/09/24

    Guest: Jason Snead is Executive Director of the Honest Elections Project, which develops model election legislation, works it through state capitols and defends the resulting laws in court. He is a returning guest on The Jenny Beth Show. By his count this is the third election cycle in which the coalition he works with, including Tea Party Patriots Action, Heritage Action and Turning Point Action, has toured the country training conservatives to serve as poll workers and poll watchers. The tour has reached Texas, Ohio, Georgia and Nevada this year and arrives in Wisconsin on October 2 and 3.

    Key topics:

    • Jenny Beth Martin's call to action: ten ways to help this fall at iwillsaveamerica.com

    • Every state sets its own voter registration deadline; Georgia closes a month before voting begins, Wisconsin allows same-day registration

    • Handwritten postcards to voters, the easiest way to start getting out the vote

    • Phone calls, texts, doors, volunteering for a local campaign, donating to candidates and recruiting friends

    • Close races this fall may be decided by a few hundred votes or fewer

    • The poll worker training tour: Texas, Ohio, Georgia and Nevada done, Wisconsin next

    • Who has spoken at the events: Texas state Senator Bryan Hughes, Ohio's secretary of state, Georgia lawmakers and Representative Rich McCormick

    • Ask who has worked a poll before and few hands go up: the trainings are built for first-timers

    • You do not need experience to be a poll worker; you need a desire to see the law followed

    • The hours: some states run shifts, others start at 5 AM and go until the job is done

    • Your job is not to catch fraud; following the law and being present makes fraud less likely

    • The Sally Smith example: the poll worker who knows the voter and forgets to ask for identification

    • Nearly every state requires bipartisan teams to handle ballots, and blue counties are short on conservatives

    • Blueberries in the tomato soup: why the tour targets blue areas surrounded by red

    • Election integrity is now part of the conservative platform, not a one-and-done issue

    • Consent of the governed, and consent of the losers: why every voter has to trust the count

    • Wisconsin: October 2 in Brookfield, October 3 in Green Bay, dinner served, legislators invited

    • The coalition partners, from Heritage Action to the American Constitutional Rights Union

    • What Wisconsin stands to lose if its election safeguards are unwound

  • Taliban Hostage 835 Days: Left by Biden, Freed by Trump | George Glezmann & George Taylor

    Taliban Hostage 835 Days: Left by Biden, Freed by Trump | George Glezmann & George Taylor
    2026/09/23

    Guest: George Glezmann is an aircraft mechanic with Delta Air Lines who has worked in aviation for more than forty years and holds degrees in engineering and anthropology. A photographer and solo traveler who has visited about 135 countries, he entered Afghanistan on a valid visa in December 2022 and was seized by the Taliban on his first afternoon in Kabul. He was held for 835 days, most of it in an underground cell, and was freed in the first weeks of the Trump administration. He has since returned to work at Delta.

    Guest: George Taylor is retired from the military and from federal law enforcement, where his background was counterterrorism, after forty-seven years of government service by his own count. He worked with George Glezmann in Delta's corporate security group and, once Glezmann went missing, worked alongside Glezmann's wife through the White House and congressional meetings that followed, and with the incoming Trump team.

    Key topics:

    • How a Delta Air Lines mechanic with a valid visa was seized on his first afternoon in Kabul

    • The interrogator called the engineer, the accusation of being CIA, and the hammering he was told was his gallows

    • Two years underground: lights on twenty-four hours a day, cameras on every move, mock executions and buckets of cold water

    • The Taliban denied holding him for months; his wife did not know if he was alive

    • A year passed before anyone from the U.S. government called, and the caller would not pass a message to his wife

    • January 2025: two other Americans go home on the last day of the Biden administration, and he is left behind
