Sean McGuire said on the show that Iran is the greatest evil. Do you agree?
Yes and no. Who is? China. So if you think about the mindset of the PRC, I think their approach to basic human rights, I think they're conducting of an ongoing genocide. With their Uyghur population, I think their approach to free speech, to political assembly, to religious freedom are fundamentally antithetical to how the West values human life and how we think about human rights. Should TikTok be banned in the US? 100% absolutely yesterday, if not years ago.
I do not think we could have a more well-versed or appropriate person for this incredible discussion today.
