A Hong Kong court is set to deliver a verdict soon for democracy activist and media magnate Jimmy Lai, who has been detained for five years. He’s accused of sedition and collusion with foreign forces, but his supporters call the trial a sham and say the only thing he’s guilty of committing is journalism.

If you've ever worried that you or your law practice are “too boring” to stand out, this conversation will change how you see yourself—and your marketing.In this episode, Bridgit sits down with Jimmy Lai, CEO of Lai & Turner Law in Oklahoma, where he helps immigrants secure U.S. visas to start, scale, and succeed in the U.S. But if you follow him online, you know him as the founder of the Unforgettable Professionals community—a space where so-called “boring” professionals learn to tell stories that attract clients, build authority, and actually make them unforgettable.Together, they dive into how Jimmy turned everyday experiences into content that resonates, why doubling down on one channel creates faster growth, and what consistency really looks like if you want lasting results.By the end, you'll see LinkedIn not as another task to manage, but as a powerful tool to transform your brand—and maybe even yourself.Key Takeaways from Bridgit and Jimmy:1. Pick One Channel and Double DownIt's tempting to try every platform at once, but growth comes from focusing on the channel that drives the biggest return.Once you know what works, reinvest in it before scattering your energy elsewhere.2. Storytelling Beats Legalese Every TimePeople don't connect with case updates—they connect with real stories, even small moments from daily life.Share personal, authentic content alongside authority-building posts to stay memorable.3. Nail the Hook or Lose the ReaderOn LinkedIn, the first three lines decide whether someone clicks “see more.”Spark curiosity right away, and keep paragraphs short and skimmable to respect busy professionals' attention spans.4. Optimize Your Profile Like a Sales PageDon't waste your headline with “Immigration Attorney.”Use clear, client-focused language that says who you help and how, so people immediately know why they should connect with you.5. Consistency Compounds into AuthorityOne post won't change your career, but consistent posting builds trust and recognition over time.Think long game—like SEO for your personal brand—and watch opportunities multiply. "You can be the best attorney in the world, but if no one knows you, if they don't like you, and if they don't trust you, you're going to struggle with business." — Jimmy LaiGet in touch with Jimmy Lai:Website: https://www.laiturnerlaw.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmylai-jdmba/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThatAttorneyLai/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thatattorneylai/

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon discuss the redistricting wars, including the latest developments in California and Texas. And, they discuss how the Latino vote figures into both parties' redistricting plans and how Hispanic voters may be up for grabs in 2026 and beyond. Then, they discuss the Federal Reserve's annual summer meeting which starts today in Jackson Hole, and what's at stake for Fed Chairman Jerome Powell and the U.S. economy. Plus, why President Trump wants the government to take a ten percent stake in Intel. Next, Carl Cannon talks to Cato Institute Vice President for International Studies Ian Vazquez about the trial of Hong Kong newspaper owner Jimmy Lai, who has been imprisoned by the Chinese government since 2020 on charges of sedition and collusion. Final arguments in his case are being heard today, and a guilty verdict could result in life imprisonment. And lastly, Andrew Walworth talks to RCP White House correspondent Phil Wegmann about Tulsi Gabbard's plan to reorganize the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, including major cuts to the agency's staff.

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.  Jimmy Lai is one of the most heroic men in the world today. As a penniless youth in 1961, he fled Communist China to the British colony of Hong Kong, where he became a wildly successful entrepreneur and billionaire.  Jimmy courageously used his media empire and personal resources to support opposition to China's Communist Party and persisted in doing so even after Great Britain surrendered the city and the CCP inexorably crushed freedom there.  Today, after five years in prison, most of it spent in solitary confinement, Jimmy Lai is standing trial for alleged national security crimes. His conviction is inevitable.  There must be real costs to Communist China for its mistreatment of this extraordinary hero – and all those in Hong Kong and the mainland for whose freedom he has fought for so long and at such immense personal expense.  This is Frank Gaffney.

HONG KONG: JIMMY LAI'S TRIAL. MARK SIMON, @GORDONGCHANG, GATESTONE, NEWSWEEK, THE HILL 1930 HONG KONG

Five years ago today, the Chinese Communist Party “fundamentally transformed” Hong Kong from a relatively free and economically thriving territory into just another enslaved city within the People's Republic of China.  With Beijing's imposition of a draconian national security law, the CCP finished off the last vestiges of the “one-country, two-systems” arrangement it promised Great Britain would apply for fifty years when she surrendered the colony in 1997.   Dissent has been crushed, with its champions like Jimmy Lai and Joshua Wong cruelly imprisoned. The mainland's totalitarian social credit system enforces the Party's edicts. And Hong Kong's capital market now serves as a financial Trojan Horse, a vehicle for Wall Street to fundraise for Chinese military companies like CATL.  An even worse fate awaits Taiwan if the Chinese Communists can next acquire it, one way or another. That must not happen. This is Frank Gaffney.

An interview with Mark L. Clifford, author of The Troublemaker. The book is a comprehensive biography of billionaire businessman Jimmy Lai, a leading Hong Kong democracy activist who became China's most famous political prisoner.

Local law enforcement claim the outlet abused a COVID-era loan scheme and arrested one of its directors for alleged fraud. Still, the closure fits a well-worn pattern: using financial and legal repression to silence independent media in Hong Kong.

In this compelling episode, hosts Ray Powell and Jim Carouso interview Luke de Pulford, founder and executive director of the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC), who provides an in-depth look at this growing international coalition's mission of transcending borders and party politics to reform policy on China.IPAC is a cross-party alliance of lawmakers from democratic countries focused on reforming policy approaches toward China. Founded on June 4, 2020 (the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square protests), IPAC began with representatives from eight countries and has now expanded to include nearly 300 legislators from 40 countries worldwide.De Pulford explains that IPAC emerged from growing frustration that many governments weren't taking the necessary steps to defend the rules-based international system, their sovereignty, and human rights in response to China's abuses. The alliance aims to create conditions for collaboration across countries and political ideologies to push governments to reform their China policies.The conversation highlights several major areas of IPAC's focus:Human Rights in Xinjiang: De Pulford discusses evidence of what he and others consider genocide against Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities in northwest China, particularly through forced sterilization programs. IPAC has led calls for political action in response to these abuses.Hong Kong's Autonomy: The alliance has been active in responding to China's National Security Law in Hong Kong, which violated promises made in the Sino-British Joint Declaration. De Pulford expresses disappointment that his own country, the United Kingdom, hasn't done more to hold China accountable.Economic Coercion: The interview explores how China uses economic leverage to silence criticism, citing examples like Australia facing 220% tariffs on wine after calling for an investigation into COVID-19's origins.Transnational Repression: De Pulford shares concerning examples of China's efforts to control dissidents abroad, including the recent forced repatriation of Uyghurs from Thailand.The alliance has seen many of its members progress into influential government positions, including Marco Rubio becoming U.S. Secretary of State and other members taking defense and foreign ministry positions across Europe and Asia. This "maturing of the network" has increased IPAC's ability to influence policy.De Pulford argues that addressing human rights issues in China requires economic solutions, as "the human rights questions in China are fundamentally economic questions." He points to successes like Volkswagen and BASF withdrawing from Xinjiang under pressure from IPAC politicians.The interview concludes with De Pulford discussing the personal costs of his advocacy, including cyber attacks, impersonation attempts, and being named as a "co-conspirator" in Jimmy Lai's trial in Hong Kong. Despite these challenges, he remains committed to IPAC's mission of uniting lawmakers to counter China's influence and protect democratic values.

An Interview with Mark L. Clifford, Author and Editor For more than four years, one of the greatest entrepreneurs in Hong Kong's history has been in solitary confinement on sham charges that could lead to imprisonment for life. Despite being held in a small cell, 77-year-old Jimmy Lai has become one of Beijing's greatest threats and one of the world's most courageous leaders in the fight for freedom. Our guest on this episode of Voices of Freedom is Mark L. Clifford, Lai's close friend and an advocate for freedom in Hong Kong. He shares Lai's remarkable story, from his childhood in poverty, to his rise as a successful business owner and newspaper publisher, to his stand against tyranny. This year, The Bradley Foundation has awarded Lai with an Honorary Bradley Prize for his unwavering commitment to the ideals of freedom. Topics Discussed on this Episode: Lai's childhood on mainland China and why he fled to Hong Kong How Lai was able to quickly rise above his circumstances The influence of free market ideas on Lai's career and life The impact of Tiananmen Square and the massacre of 1989 Lai's introduction to Catholicism and how religion shaped his belief system Lai's decision to stay in Hong Kong and take a stand for freedom Lai's state of mind after more than four years in prison Why the Chinese Communist Party fears Lai Whether there's hope for Hong Kong's democratic movement About Mark L. Clifford: Clifford is president of the Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong, the former executive director of the Asia Business Council, and a former board member at Next Digital. He is editorial chair of the Asian Review of Books and served as editor in chief of both English-language papers in Hong Kong, The Standard and the South China Morning Post.
