Josh Philipp, an award-winning investigative journalist with The Epoch Times, addresses the ramifications of the recent U.S. House of Representatives vote to effectively ban TikTok. Josh Philipp delves into the complexities surrounding the TikTok ban, highlighting the justification for such a measure due to the security risks associated with ByteDance, the app’s parent company, and its close ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). However, he also raises concerns that banning TikTok could lead to censorship issues reminiscent of the Patriot Act, suggesting a nuanced approach is necessary. Philipp argues that legislation should target the CCP’s espionage activities directly, rather than imposing outright bans on products and services potentially used for spying. Beyond the debate on TikTok, Philipp is also focusing his investigative efforts on the border crisis, with plans to release a new documentary soon that explores this pressing issue in depth.

Interview with Trent Loos
Sixth generation farmer and rancher Trent Loos explains why we should be concerned with cattlemen required to attach electronic ear tags to their livestock. During National Ag Week, an event dedicated to celebrating and raising awareness about agricultural work, the use of electronic ear tags in livestock is gaining attention for its potential to allow governments to excessively regulate food through precise tracking of livestock. This development is part of a broader conversation about agricultural practices and regulatory changes. For more information on National Ag Week, you can visit https://www.agday.org/. Additionally, the discussion extends to other significant topics, such as the wolf reintroduction initiative and the progress within Nebraska’s legislation towards banning inappropriate books in schools. These discussions highlight the evolving nature of agricultural and educational policies and their impact on society. Listen to the full interview in the second hour.
