On today's podcast:
1) The president threatens TV networks that criticize him after Jimmy Kimmel's suspension. President Trump has said US broadcast networks should face scrutiny over their licenses if they're too critical of him, and media executives and academics say companies are "bending to the will" of Trump's administration, making media companies look like state-run outlets.
2) The call between President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping may determine the fate of TikTok and potentially ease trade tensions between the two countries. Trump and Xi are due to discuss a framework agreement to shift control of TikTok's US operations from its Chinese parent ByteDance to a consortium of American investors.
3) President Trump has asked the US Supreme Court to let him fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook while she fights his attempt to oust her. The Justice Department asked the court to at least temporarily pause a Washington federal judge’s ruling that has allowed Cook to remain in her position for now.
