About this episode
TikTok’s days in the U.S. may be numbered after a federal appeals court upheld a federal law late last week to force the ban or sale of the social media app. The case could ultimately end up before the Supreme Court. President-elect Donald Trump has also promised to reverse the ban, even though he tried to ban TikTok in his first term. Louise Matsakis, senior business editor at WIRED, walks us through all the what-ifs of a future without TikTok. Later in the show, Bloomberg senior editor Stacey Vanek Smith talks about what the incoming Trump administration’s enthusiasm for cryptocurrency means for all of us. And in headlines: A suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO was arrested and charged in Pennsylvania, Lara Trump eyes Marco Rubio’s Florida Senate seat, and Biden faces a growing pressure campaign to use his clemency powers.
