## Resource

Former CIA officers Andrew Bustamante and Sarah Adams tell Patrick Bet-David the uncomfortable truth: Americans have no right to privacy, and with Flock cameras scanning 20 billion license plates a month, the surveillance state is already here. From Google selling your data to the government to why a crisis is all it takes for people to accept being watched, this is the debate nobody in the room agreed on.
