Friend of the show, Howie Mandell is filling in for Jason Alexander. He’s the only man balder than Jason so… it works!
Lately, TikTok has been in the news with claims that it’s an arm of the Chinese Government - but with 170 million Americans on the app, is there a danger?
Billionaire Frank McCourt thinks this perceived danger can be turned into a positive by using TikTok’s American userbase to supercharge a brand new and improved internet. Really, no really!
Frank McCourt, Jr. is a civic entrepreneur and the executive chairman of McCourt Global, a private family company committed to building a better future through real estate, sports, technology, media, and capital investment industries.
Additionally, he's the founder of Project Liberty, a far-reaching, $500 million initiative focused on leading a movement of people who want to take back control of their lives in the digital age by reclaiming the internet.
Frank also owns the French football club Olympique de Marseille and formerly owned the Los Angeles Dodgers.

- Jason returns and has thoughts!
