12:11Now PlayingAttorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian expose how Trump is brazenly violating federal law by extending the TikTok ban deadline three times beyond what Congress authorized. They break down the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, which required TikTok's Chinese owner ByteDance to sell by January 19, 2025, and how the Supreme Court upheld this law. The hosts reveal Trump's self-interested motivations—using TikTok to manipulate younger voters and "bros" who helped him win the election—while giving a Chinese company illegal hall passes despite Republican anti-China rhetoric. They explore how Attorney General Pam Bondi refuses to enforce the law on Trump's orders, potentially setting herself up for lucrative lobbying contracts. A devastating expose of how self-interest trumps national security when nobody has the courage to enforce the law.
