Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman discuss Mitt Romney saying the quiet part out loud: Congress was motivated to force TikTok to sell because they didn't like how they couldn't control the media narrative. They then welcome on the show Dr. Roberto J. Gonzalez of San Jose State University, who is the author of War Virtually: The Quest to Automate Conflict, Militarize Data, and Predict the Future.
