TikTok Ban: Safeguarding America or Stifling Speech?

William Del Pilar discusses the implications of a TikTok ban as a tool of cultural and geopolitical influence, particularly focusing on its ownership by the Chinese company ByteDance. He explores how TikTok serves as a modern-day Trojan horse in the context of national security, psychological warfare, and cultural indoctrination. The conversation also delves into legislative actions taken against TikTok, the role of algorithms in shaping public opinion, and the potential alternatives to TikTok that users are migrating to. Also: Trump's attempts to revitalize Hollywood, the controversial arrest of cartoonist Darrin Bell, and Bill Burr's misguided comments on wildfire management.
