Summary

Michael Tracey returned to the show to discuss the bill Congress is trying to pass to ban the social video-sharing app TikTok. Tracey explains what the bill actually says and the two talk about what the government could do going forward if it passes. They then discuss the real reason Washington wants TikTok gone — it’s threatening Israel’s ability to control the narrative as it slaughters the people of Gaza.
