Seditious TikTokin’

Much as the world benefit from a new dance craze, it would behoove us to ensure that China doesn't use our moves against us. Our first guest Geoffrey Cain is all too familiar with what the CCP can do with surveillance technology. He sits down with Rob, James and Charles to touch on the protesters, the extraordinary police state they're up against, and he tries to convince a skeptical Rob and James that TikTok is more than just really annoying. Next we've got Andy McCarthy back on the show. He explains how the record has been straightened somewhat by the Oath Keepers' verdicts that came down on Tuesday. They get into the charges brought and the reasons the DOJ whiffed on 3 out of 5. There's also some talk on the crime wave and the prospects of a return to law and order in our cities. Plus, the guys make fun of Charles for liking soccer!
