I watched it last night when it aired. When he covered the "proactive" detention and "Precogs" I was surprised he didn't mention DHS Secretary Chad Wolf recently saying that in Portland "we are having to go out and proactively arrest individuals.”

John also didn't mention this:
US seizes items thought to be made from hair of Muslims in Chinese labor camps
(13 tons of weaves and other hair products worth $800,000)

After their treatment of the Uighurs that some call crimes against humanity and their totalitarian moves on Hong Kong, the Chinese communists shouldn't be at all surprised that much of the world is turning away.
