About this episode

Could America's favorite video app TikTok be on the brink of a ban? The stakes are higher than ever as we unravel the bipartisan upheaval surrounding TikTok's data privacy issues and its parent company ByteDance's tenuous relationship with Chinese authorities. Simultaneously, we're turning the spotlight on Rivian's bold ploy to dethrone Tesla with their new, wallet-friendly R2 and R3 electric vehicles.
