Louder with Crowder - Why Trump Opposes TikTok Ban... Follow the Money

00:00:00.000 What do you think?

00:00:11.000 Well, it's not the kind of music that old Willie Shakespeare here used to write.

00:00:17.000 Oh, well.

00:00:18.000 Smee! 1.00

00:00:19.000 Do something intelligent!

00:00:21.000 Are you ready kids?

00:00:37.000 Yeah, Dad!

00:00:38.000 I can't hear you!

00:00:41.000 Who lives in a swamp right under the sea?

00:00:48.000 Who sniffs your aunt's head and won't let her flee? 0.99

00:00:50.000 Who touches your mom and gropes all the kids? 1.00

00:00:56.000 Be sure not to tell your dad what I did!

00:00:59.000 Or me!

00:01:00.000 Biden, Grumman! Biden, Grumman! Biden, Grumman! Biden, Grumman!

00:02:25.000 Good morning, everybody.

00:02:55.000 You don't get a sip, but you might get a cough.

00:02:58.000 It's the cough that never goes away.

00:02:59.000 Still?

00:03:01.000 It won't be enjoyable.

00:03:03.000 It will be loud.

00:03:04.000 And it will happen often.

00:03:06.000 Alright, so.

00:03:07.000 I hope that that's not true, but look.

00:03:08.000 There is a cough button.

00:03:10.000 We do have a cough button.

00:03:11.000 Yeah, we got you.

00:03:12.000 That's fantastic.

00:03:14.000 It's right there.

00:03:14.000 Yes, it is.

00:03:15.000 Okay, I've spent this entire time and I've just been coughing into your... I apologize.

00:03:19.000 My bad.

00:03:20.000 I'll use the cough button.

00:03:21.000 We've got a great show for you today.

00:03:23.000 We're going to do a little bit of a recap on the Oscars.

00:03:27.000 That's mostly the recap.

00:03:29.000 Trump reneges on his TikTok ban, it seems, and maybe Vivek's kind of joining in and some other people.

00:03:35.000 We love those guys, but we're going to call them out when we disagree.

00:03:35.000 We'll see how that goes.

00:03:37.000 Biden apologizes for calling a killer And illegal, because that's the offensive part of that sentence. 0.98

00:03:44.000 And get this, liking outdoorsy girls is gay. 0.99

00:03:49.000 Or beta, whichever one you want to say. 0.86

00:03:51.000 Look, we are going to talk about some subjects today that are probably going to get us in a little bit of trouble.

00:03:55.000 So if at any point during the show, not because of me, but because of what somebody else will say or do, because I would never do this, you see this.

00:04:05.000 Go on and head on over to Rumble and make sure that you watch us over there.

00:04:08.000 Listen, YouTube audience, I love you.

00:04:10.000 I appreciate that you're there, but what the hell are you doing there?

00:04:11.000 Go to Rumble.

00:04:13.000 Do it.

00:04:14.000 Hey, hey, you.

00:04:16.000 Go to Rumble.

00:04:16.000 Do it.

00:04:16.000 Now.

00:04:17.000 Do it now.

00:04:18.000 It's a live show, weekdays at 10 a.m.

00:04:21.000 Eastern.

00:04:22.000 Before we get into anything else, what do you guys think about TikTok being potentially banned?

00:04:26.000 Are you on board with this?

00:04:27.000 Good!

00:04:30.000 We're not supposed to... It's a question.

00:04:32.000 I didn't ask for answers yet.

00:04:35.000 So good.

00:04:38.000 What do you guys think about that?

00:04:39.000 Is it really that big of a deal?

00:04:41.000 I've had this conversation with people before who are avid TikTok users, and they say it's totally fine.

00:04:46.000 Drug users say drugs are good for you as well.

00:04:47.000 So, we'll go for that.

00:04:49.000 In my chair today, when you hear this music, you know we've got Ginger Snap laying in the brain.

00:04:54.000 How are you, sir?

00:04:55.000 Good.

00:04:55.000 Good to go.

00:04:55.000 Good.

00:04:56.000 Proximity to microphone.

00:04:57.000 Ready to rock.

00:04:58.000 I'm here.

00:04:58.000 Always.

00:04:59.000 I'm close.

00:04:59.000 You are?

00:05:00.000 Yeah.

00:05:00.000 How close?

00:05:01.000 Very close.

00:05:02.000 See, there you go!

00:05:03.000 Now you got a radio voice.

00:05:04.000 I also found out the word reneged has two e's in it.

00:05:07.000 I wasn't aware.

00:05:08.000 Oh, really?

00:05:09.000 Yeah.

00:05:09.000 I thought you were just about to say slur.

00:05:10.000 Do we have a typo, Ian?

00:05:11.000 Is that what you're trying to say?

00:05:13.000 I typoed when I was typing.

00:05:13.000 No, no.

00:05:15.000 Oh, gotcha.

00:05:16.000 I think it has three.

00:05:18.000 You don't have to do, like, my bad humor as well, like when you sit in my chair.

00:05:21.000 Well, I don't have any good humor to offer, so that's what you get.

00:05:24.000 Now you know how I feel, right?

00:05:24.000 See?

00:05:26.000 Yeah.

00:05:26.000 Thank you.

00:05:27.000 Fantastic.

00:05:28.000 And when you hear this...

00:05:29.000 You know the man is in third chair.

00:05:31.000 Josh Feierstein is going to be at Bricktown Comedy Club, Tosa, Oklahoma, Friday, March 22nd at Josh underscore Feierstein.

00:05:38.000 That's right.

00:05:38.000 Hey.

00:05:39.000 I like it raw, baby.

00:05:40.000 What's up?

00:05:42.000 Are you talking about food?

00:05:43.000 We're here with Captain and the Brain.

00:05:46.000 Do you like my shirt, Gerald?

00:05:48.000 I do!

00:05:48.000 You like this?

00:05:50.000 I love that slogan.

00:05:52.000 What does it mean?

00:05:53.000 Can you say it?

00:05:56.000 It reads like this.

00:05:58.000 Always a target, never a victim.

00:06:00.000 Which makes me sound like a victim.

00:06:03.000 A little.

00:06:06.000 You see, and you wonder why I think maybe I don't actually have a cough button even though there's a button right here.

00:06:12.000 No, yours works because that's Stephen's button.

00:06:14.000 You don't, yeah.

00:06:15.000 My cough button doesn't work.

00:06:16.000 No, sorry.

00:06:17.000 You see?

00:06:18.000 And you wonder why I think maybe I don't actually have a cough button, even though there's a button right here.

00:06:23.000 No, yours works, because that's Stephen's button.

00:06:25.000 It's... your cough button, you press it, and then you... it makes you cough.

00:06:25.000 You also...

00:06:28.000 Did you hear what he just said?

00:06:31.000 You press it and someone sprays mace in your face.

00:06:33.000 Pretty much.

00:06:34.000 You dip my mic in asbestos before you put it over there.

00:06:38.000 Look, you want to know, we spare no expense.

00:06:41.000 I'm just saying, we don't always do things.

00:06:44.000 What, you wanted a sign?

00:06:45.000 We gave you a sign.

00:06:48.000 I wasn't specific, you're right.

00:06:49.000 I didn't say a good sign.

00:06:51.000 I didn't say a sign worthy of this show.

00:06:53.000 I just said a sign and therefore you did that.

00:06:56.000 I'm just glad you spelled it.

00:06:57.000 We can't afford another neon sign.

00:06:58.000 Oh my gosh, I didn't ask for that.

00:06:59.000 You know what's a good movie?

00:07:00.000 I just get trolled.

00:07:01.000 Signs.

00:07:02.000 Oh my gosh.

00:07:03.000 It's gonna be like that all day today, guys.

00:07:07.000 In fact, you know what we'll do?

00:07:08.000 Every time Lane goes to speak, we'll hit the YouTube dump button.

00:07:11.000 It'll make it better for everybody.

00:07:12.000 Because my takes are too spicy for the internet.

00:07:13.000 I don't...

00:07:14.000 I think that's the reason.

00:07:15.000 Listen, it's Women's History Month, guys.

00:07:20.000 I'm not doing it.

00:07:22.000 Do it.

00:07:24.000 I can't.

00:07:25.000 I can't.

00:07:26.000 I would make that look so awkward.

00:07:27.000 No.

00:07:28.000 Like, you know, white man overbite, dancing awkward kind of thing. 0.85

00:07:32.000 Can't do it. 0.98

00:07:33.000 And my nipples are here and not here, like Stephen, because of the surgery.

00:07:36.000 So, just saying.

00:07:37.000 They move.

00:07:38.000 So, Women's History Month. 0.99

00:07:39.000 Glad we know where your nipples are. 1.00

00:07:42.000 Thank you. 0.99

00:07:43.000 Why don't you just prove it, Gerald?

00:07:45.000 Well, fine, okay?

00:07:47.000 No.

00:07:48.000 We'll do John Cena in a minute.

00:07:52.000 I'm not that bold. 0.99

00:07:53.000 You globalist pig. 0.97

00:07:54.000 Can I get a larger notepad to block, please? 0.98

00:08:00.000 That should suffice.

00:08:01.000 Alright, so, first fact, women could not serve on a jury until 1973. 1.00

00:08:10.000 Lane, number two?

00:08:13.000 Women could not get credit cards on their own until 1974. 0.98

00:08:17.000 Really?

00:08:17.000 No charge of plates for you.

00:08:19.000 Josh, number three?

00:08:20.000 And the only thing more powerful than a strong independent woman who knows her own worth is an average man.

00:08:27.000 It's been your women's month. 0.90

00:08:30.000 Oh, hurry, hit the thing. 1.00

00:08:36.000 We love you ladies.

00:08:37.000 It's all in fun.

00:08:38.000 You get an entire month.

00:08:41.000 I get we get the rest of the year.

00:08:42.000 They get 12 months with me, Gerald.

00:08:44.000 You celebrate their entire catalog of achievements.

00:08:45.000 I celebrate them all year round.

00:08:49.000 Do you, Joe Biden?

00:08:51.000 I celebrate them all.

00:08:53.000 You know the thing.

00:08:53.000 Until they turn 12.

00:08:59.000 That's a pedo joke.

00:09:00.000 It is.

00:09:01.000 Allegedly.

00:09:02.000 So, I don't know. 0.81

00:09:03.000 We used to livestream the Oscars because it used to be a little bit more entertaining and, you know, until Will Smith decided to slap the crap out of, you know, what's his name?

00:09:11.000 Chris Rock.

00:09:13.000 I was getting there.

00:09:13.000 I knew that.

00:09:14.000 It was part of a joke.

00:09:15.000 No, I completely forgot his name.

00:09:16.000 That's not why we stopped streaming.

00:09:17.000 That's not why.

00:09:18.000 No, I'm saying that was an interesting thing that would have been fun to be there for, right?

00:09:23.000 Otherwise, it's been boring.

00:09:24.000 Yeah, it's been really boring.

00:09:26.000 The ratings have been crashing.

00:09:27.000 So, did you guys watch?

00:09:28.000 Did you watch the Oscars last night?

00:09:28.000 Let me know.

00:09:30.000 Or did you do like me and pretty much every other American out there?

00:09:34.000 Did you not know it was even on?

00:09:35.000 I didn't even know it was on.

00:09:36.000 I didn't either until I was scrolling through X and I'm like, oh, that's tonight?

00:09:39.000 The Oscars?

00:09:40.000 I didn't watch the movies last year.

00:09:42.000 None of them?

00:09:44.000 Maybe one or two.

00:09:45.000 You watched Barbie, come on.

00:09:46.000 I didn't.

00:09:47.000 Wow, dude!

00:09:47.000 I want to see it, though.

00:09:49.000 You do?

00:09:50.000 I did buy a shirt that says, I am Ken Nuff.

00:09:50.000 I want to see.

00:09:53.000 Aww.

00:09:54.000 I bought one of those shirts.

00:09:54.000 It was cute.

00:09:55.000 I thought you were going to do, I'm only Ken, or I'm just Ken, whatever that song was that they sang.

00:09:58.000 I don't know what it is, but I'm sure it's great.

00:10:00.000 It's not a banger.

00:10:00.000 It's a banger.

00:10:01.000 Well, look, a couple of shenanigans did happen last night.

00:10:03.000 We wanted to make sure that we covered it and did our jobs.

00:10:06.000 So it's time for Gerald Knows the Oscars.

00:10:08.000 This better be a good singer. 1.00

00:10:09.000 Costumes.

00:10:32.000 It's a good song.

00:10:37.000 They are so important.

00:10:40.000 Maybe the most important thing there is.

00:10:45.000 I can't open the envelope.

00:10:46.000 This is the highest point of Robert Downey Jr.' 's long and illustrious career.

00:10:52.000 Well, one of the highest points.

00:10:54.000 But Robert has been a...

00:10:59.000 Was that two on the nose or was that a drug motion you made?

00:11:04.000 So first off, John Cena naked? 0.99

00:11:18.000 That caused quite a bit of controversy and I hate all of you.

00:11:22.000 I'm going back to the top of this, the stinger.

00:11:24.000 I said, I gave specific instructions that, hey, we used to do the Oscars, we've got to have a stinger laying around that we can kind of repurpose and just have the Oscars and I can throw it to it and it'll be nice and then... Well, we did that.

00:11:37.000 Well, that was the first part of that.

00:11:37.000 Yeah, that's what that was.

00:11:40.000 The second part of that was...

00:11:42.000 The continual trolling that I will always face, no matter how many of you I can fire!

00:11:47.000 It was beautiful.

00:11:47.000 I don't understand this!

00:11:49.000 Nobody fears me, gosh.

00:11:49.000 But you wanted a Gerald Knows Oscars, and it's on brand.

00:11:52.000 I'm always a target, and I sound a lot like a victim right now.

00:11:57.000 I'll stay here and borrow my shirt.

00:11:59.000 You get what a Crowder shop does to them. 1.00

00:12:01.000 You know what the Trump fight like hell shirt? The new one.

00:12:03.000 We updated the fight like hell from George Washington to Donald Trump.

00:12:05.000 I love that shirt.

00:12:07.000 He said it so I figured it was nice to put him on there.

00:12:09.000 I love it.

00:12:11.000 I like that it's in McDonald's colors.

00:12:13.000 Ketchup and mustard. I love it.

00:12:15.000 Maybe a hot dog baby.

00:12:17.000 Because I saw a lot of people like really upset about the fact that there was an almost naked person on the screen and I understand that.

00:12:24.000 There's some point to that.

00:12:26.000 So there's this term going around X and stuff.

00:12:29.000 I came kind of from middle-of-the-road people using the term woke right and I think this elicited a reaction from the woke right where Everything suddenly is a victimization of something.

00:12:40.000 And I remember one person, I won't name his name, he said, the continued emasculation of the white male.

00:12:45.000 The shaming of the white male.

00:12:46.000 I'm like, first of all, John Cena is definitely not a shame.

00:12:50.000 You can't shame someone that's built like Zeus.

00:12:53.000 It was hilarious.

00:12:54.000 It was funny.

00:12:55.000 I have zero problem with it even when it comes to the riskiness.

00:12:58.000 Why can't we just joke?

00:13:01.000 Not everything is inherently political and this certainly wasn't.

00:13:06.000 It was a funny joke.

00:13:07.000 Maybe you have a problem with the amount of skin that was shown because of the potential audience.

00:13:11.000 I thought it was hilarious.

00:13:13.000 You wore more than he wears in a wrestling match.

00:13:17.000 He wears jorts, never mind.

00:13:19.000 God, thank God he's not wearing jorts.

00:13:21.000 I love jorts.

00:13:23.000 He gets to the mic and says, hun, hun, hun, hun, hun.

00:13:26.000 I don't know if you guys remember that when he apologized for saying, you know, a country existed.

00:13:31.000 That's worthy of criticism.

00:13:32.000 Well, look, so my problem with this is relatively minor because I thought it was funny, but it, you know, you've got Barbie.

00:13:40.000 As one of the movies that attracted a lot of kind of younger girls and maybe they're watching this, maybe they're not, maybe their parents let them stay up and do it.

00:13:47.000 I have no idea.

00:13:48.000 I don't know how big of an issue this is.

00:13:50.000 That was my only issue.

00:13:51.000 It's like, it is a little risque for kind of, I mean, we do show people in scantily clad outfits way too often anyway, so this is not the only time we've done it.

00:14:01.000 But now you've shown this guy and what obviously is supposed to be kind of a funny bit, which I think it was, like that was the first thing that I did.

00:14:07.000 I laughed at it.

00:14:08.000 And then the second part of it was like, OK, maybe we don't show that to kids.

00:14:11.000 I get it.

00:14:12.000 I understand.

00:14:12.000 Let me know where you guys fall.

00:14:13.000 There's going to be a lot of these kinds of questions because I'm curious.

00:14:16.000 I genuinely didn't get so up in arms that I felt like I needed to comment on it outside of the show.

00:14:21.000 But I did think that it was a funny bit.

00:14:23.000 Now, I will say this.

00:14:25.000 The people saying what you said, it's now the emasculation.

00:14:28.000 Are you kidding? 0.99

00:14:29.000 Like, this is the dumbest take that I've seen. 0.99

00:14:31.000 When the right runs off onto these tangents just to try and be outraged for some reason, it really pisses me off. 0.99

00:14:38.000 Because then people go, well, I just, I don't know that I can trust anything this guy says.

00:14:41.000 It's so exhausting. 1.00

00:14:42.000 It's such selective, stupid outrage. 1.00

00:14:43.000 And also that this is some kind of ritualistic shaming. 1.00

00:14:46.000 Yeah.

00:14:47.000 So this guy can be in the Illuminati?

00:14:49.000 Like, I, what?

00:14:52.000 He's like, yes!

00:14:53.000 Shame me! 0.90

00:14:53.000 Yes! 0.90

00:14:54.000 Let people see my jacked body! 0.88

00:14:57.000 That's what he does for a living, guys. 0.58

00:15:00.000 You're gonna have to make him fully clothed if you want to shame him. 1.00

00:15:02.000 I don't know, maybe put him in a baggy burka or something, and that's shaming.

00:15:06.000 I don't know, but that guy's pretty ripped. 1.00

00:15:07.000 It's like saying Donald Trump is an idiot for having slept with models! 1.00

00:15:12.000 It doesn't land the way you think it does. 1.00

00:15:14.000 Yes, it's deplorable that if he's sleeping around on people and cheating on his wife, fine, I get that, but when you use models, use Eugene Carroll! 0.94

00:15:22.000 For goodness sake, say he slept with her, people would be like, yeah, that sucks. 0.95

00:15:26.000 The other thing that I hated about this was Jimmy Kimmel.

00:15:30.000 I'm just glad for the John Cena thing, I'm just glad they gave him a role that wasn't focused on his acting.

00:15:38.000 That's kind of a cold take, too, because John Cena is ejectively hilarious.

00:15:42.000 He's usually the best part about the movies that he's in.

00:15:44.000 Well, he's in really bad movies.

00:15:46.000 He's not a good actor.

00:15:47.000 He's so funny.

00:15:49.000 Name a good movie John Cena has been in. 0.99

00:15:51.000 If you say Fast as the first word for any of those, I'm going to kill you.

00:15:56.000 You mean the Fast series? 0.97

00:15:58.000 No, those are terrible all the way around.

00:16:00.000 If this gun were loaded.

00:16:03.000 It might be.

00:16:04.000 Have you seen the movie Cockblockers?

00:16:06.000 Oh yeah, that sounds like a real Oscar-worthy film.

00:16:09.000 They're not supposed to be.

00:16:11.000 Chevy Chase wasn't supposed to be an Oscar winner either.

00:16:13.000 Yes, but he was objectively funny.

00:16:15.000 Whatever. 0.99

00:16:16.000 John Cena stinks. 0.99

00:16:17.000 Alright, so here's the second part of this, and this was something that I thought really kind of sucked. 0.96

00:16:22.000 I'm not like a huge Robert Downey Jr.

00:16:24.000 fan, though I do like the guy.

00:16:25.000 I think he's had a pretty good turnaround.

00:16:27.000 Obviously his career has turned around quite a bit.

00:16:30.000 I mean, he seems like a pretty likable guy to most people now.

00:16:34.000 Am I right?

00:16:34.000 Do you guys feel the same way here, roughly?

00:16:37.000 You don't!

00:16:38.000 What's the matter with you, you judgmental... I think Artie Dre's doing great, good for him for being clean and everything, but the dude, he just, I don't know, just the whole vegan thing just kind of came off weird with him.

00:16:47.000 No, no, no, no, I don't support all of his life decisions.

00:16:49.000 I'm just saying, generally speaking, he's a decent guy.

00:16:52.000 Most people, like, he's not out there Being a pedophile, which is what a lot of people in Hollywood apparently do, allegedly.

00:16:58.000 But then Jimmy Kimmel, who's completely unfunny, takes a poke at him when he wins his first Oscar.

00:17:05.000 Why would you do that?

00:17:06.000 And you could see Robert Downey Jr.

00:17:08.000 like, come on man, move on.

00:17:09.000 What the hell are you doing?

00:17:10.000 You're talking about my drug use? 0.99

00:17:11.000 His first Oscar?

00:17:12.000 It was his first Oscar.

00:17:14.000 What did you think he wanted for Iron Man?

00:17:16.000 I have no idea.

00:17:18.000 I don't think I care about anything.

00:17:19.000 He's had some good rolls.

00:17:20.000 He's good.

00:17:20.000 A lot of white people won Oscars last night, though, actually.

00:17:23.000 Ooh, now the Oscars are so wet again.

00:17:25.000 Look, I just thought that was really crabby for him to do.

00:17:25.000 We're gonna go back to it.

00:17:28.000 I thought he handled it pretty well.

00:17:29.000 I would have been fine if he'd have walked up and slapped him.

00:17:32.000 That would have been fine with me.

00:17:33.000 I'm good with that.

00:17:34.000 But look, just don't worry so much about the Oscars when there's a half-naked man on there. 1.00

00:17:39.000 They were doing a bit about a streaker from like 50 years ago.

00:17:42.000 I don't know, but that's been Gerald Knows the Oscars.

00:18:47.000 I mean, unless of course you are gay, then... 1.00

00:18:50.000 Whatever, go with it. 0.98

00:18:51.000 Just subscribe either way. 0.98

00:18:53.000 Being gay and being cool, but if you're gay, that's not cool. 1.00

00:18:55.000 You know what I'm saying? 0.93

00:18:56.000 Right, right, right, right.

00:18:57.000 That's exactly right.

00:18:58.000 That's the first solid point of the show for you.

00:19:00.000 So let's keep rolling as we get into Trump.

00:19:04.000 So look, there is a bill that is aimed at TikTok, and it is expected to be voted on this week to ban them from the United States.

00:19:13.000 The battle to ban TikTok intensifying in Washington, with House leaders confirming they'll vote next week on a bill that would effectively ban the app, unless it's sold by its Chinese parent company ByteDance.

00:19:25.000 We can't have a foreign controlled social media app pushing misinformation, certainly not to our children. 0.98

00:19:31.000 Yeah, that's the job of American companies to push misinformation.

00:19:36.000 I'm probably not going to let a Chinese Communist Party company do that.

00:19:40.000 The House Committee did vote unanimously, and Biden says that he would actually sign the bill.

00:19:44.000 So all of this looks like it's leading towards TikTok being kind of quote-unquote banned, but that's not quite what they're saying, right?

00:19:51.000 No, there's extra steps.

00:19:53.000 It's a lot of extra steps, right?

00:19:54.000 But it would force TikTok to divest or face a ban in the United States.

00:19:58.000 And really it's the parent company ByteDance.

00:20:00.000 Right.

00:20:01.000 So Lane, tell me just a little bit about this.

00:20:02.000 When this originally came up under Donald Trump, I remember talking about it and talking about the difficulties with TikTok and ByteDance and all of that stuff.

00:20:10.000 So for people who don't know and just look at TikTok and go, why are we banning this?

00:20:13.000 Tell them why we think it's a good idea.

00:20:15.000 So the parent company, ByteDance, is a Chinese-based organization, right?

00:20:20.000 The headquarters, if you will.

00:20:21.000 And in China, they operate the same app, but it's called Douyin.

00:20:24.000 And then in the West and other foreign countries, they have TikTok, which the offered content on Douyin and TikTok is very different.

00:20:31.000 So the stuff that you're seeing in America on TikTok is vastly different than what a Chinese audience would see on their version of the app.

00:20:37.000 They're seeing like engineering and like, they're basically prizing those videos.

00:20:41.000 They have makeup tutorials and stuff like that too, but it's not designed to be as addictive as the TikTok version of the app is.

00:20:48.000 And more than that, the security holes or the security backdoors that TikTok has installed that link it directly to the Chinese Communist Party, which I don't know if you've checked, is not our best friend in the world.

00:21:01.000 No.

00:21:01.000 I haven't checked, but I'm pretty sure.

00:21:03.000 They're so concerning that there's pretty much, outside of a small vocal group on both sides, a large bipartisan consensus, and I know Stephen hates the term bipartisan, but it's so glaringly obvious that it's just very hard to argue against some sort of action on the app.

00:21:17.000 Okay, so this proposal has absolutely, basically has enraged TikTok and all of the people that love TikTok, and so there's been this campaign For you know the last week or so and people taking to X I know we call it Twitter and X I mean just to make sure that people the app formerly known as Twitter um and so here's here's one of them right now so the bill is an outright ban on TikTok no matter how much the authors try to disguise it this legislation will trample the first amendment rights of 170 million Americans and deprive 5 million small businesses of a platform they rely on to grow and create jobs that was from TikTok

00:21:50.000 their ex account and other people were supporting that and kind of parroting it. They were also

00:21:55.000 doing a little bit more than that. So they also used an in-app pop-up on TikTok to prompt users

00:22:00.000 to contact lawmakers to stop this kind of ban. So they're calling it a total ban. So this is

00:22:05.000 a messaging campaign right now. Both sides are kind of trying to fight this battle and see if

00:22:10.000 they can get the public to kind of back them. But the bill is also getting pushback from high-profile

00:22:14.000 Republicans that you would not think would necessarily be pushing back on something like

00:22:19.000 this, including Donald Trump and Vivek Ramaswamy, two people that we love and really appreciate

00:22:26.000 what they're doing for our country.

00:22:28.000 But when they say stuff that we disagree with, we're going to call them out on that.

00:22:31.000 No sacred cows here, guys.

00:22:32.000 So, now it's time for a little then and now.

00:22:42.000 All right.

00:22:43.000 So Luke, Luke.

00:22:46.000 Son's name.

00:22:46.000 Sorry, buddy.

00:22:47.000 You shouldn't be watching.

00:22:48.000 Why are you watching?

00:22:49.000 You just saw a naked man.

00:22:52.000 So, then... Which way?

00:22:55.000 Which way?

00:22:55.000 Then?

00:22:56.000 Or then?

00:22:57.000 Then!

00:22:58.000 Ah!

00:22:58.000 Then!

00:22:59.000 Then! 1.00

00:22:59.000 Fuck! 1.00

00:22:59.000 You mixed then for Luke? 1.00

00:23:00.000 I was putting...

00:23:04.000 It's never going to make sense to anyone other than my brain.

00:23:06.000 I don't think so.

00:23:09.000 So then... Here you go.

00:23:11.000 Yeah!

00:23:11.000 Nailed it.

00:23:12.000 It's only the fifth time.

00:23:13.000 Trump wanted to absolutely nuke TikTok.

00:23:16.000 August 2020, he tried to ban it through executive order.

00:23:19.000 We're looking at TikTok.

00:23:20.000 We may be banning TikTok.

00:23:22.000 President Donald Trump said late Friday he would sign an executive order to ban TikTok in the United States, ratcheting up the pressure on the Chinese owner to sell the popular short video app.

00:23:34.000 The move would be the culmination of U.S. 0.90

00:23:36.000 national security concerns over the safety of the personal data on TikTok, which is handled by Chinese company ByteDance.

00:23:44.000 That is the most boring way to tell a story.

00:23:47.000 Ever.

00:23:48.000 We pulled this clip and I was like, is this an international, like, English-speaking thing?

00:23:53.000 Because every time we pull one of those clips to talk about an issue internationally, it's like super-duper boring.

00:23:57.000 What do you want, like acrobats?

00:23:58.000 I need something more!

00:24:00.000 I don't know, Josh!

00:24:01.000 Not acrobats!

00:24:03.000 Hi, and we have the popular app that is going to be banned.

00:24:08.000 People are really thinking about it.

00:24:10.000 And I'm like, it's just, it's exactly, I mean, it's almost like watching me do this show.

00:24:14.000 It's, it's boring sometimes.

00:24:15.000 I get it.

00:24:15.000 Okay.

00:24:16.000 Only one person can be boring.

00:24:18.000 So that was Donald Trump.

00:24:20.000 And I, I will make the argument there that he definitely did want to ban TikTok.

00:24:24.000 He's going to do it through executive order.

00:24:26.000 He signed the executive order.

00:24:28.000 Exactly.

00:24:30.000 Some people may look at that and go, well, that's just Donald Trump being Donald Trump.

00:24:33.000 He's negotiating, right?

00:24:35.000 He's making threats that ends up being stuff that he's not really planning on doing, but it lets the other people know that he's not afraid to hit the nuclear button on issues.

00:24:42.000 Like saying, hey, they don't pay their fair share to join NATO when they're in NATO.

00:24:46.000 I hope he goes and invades those guys.

00:24:48.000 We're not going to come to their defense.

00:24:49.000 That's kind of a negotiation tactic for him.

00:24:51.000 That's putting pressure on people to do what's right, even though he's not really encouraging Russia to invade a NATO partner.

00:24:58.000 So you can't really say this.

00:24:59.000 But the ban did face legal challenges, and then it was dropped by Biden.

00:25:03.000 So you said he signed the executive order.

00:25:05.000 Did Biden sign a reversal of it, or how did he do it?

00:25:07.000 Yeah, so he signed it.

00:25:09.000 Trump signed the executive order.

00:25:10.000 Then I don't remember which court it was said it didn't In February of 2023, Vivek Ramaswamy expressed support for banning TikTok on X. And yes, I'm very open to banning TikTok outright.

00:25:16.000 and then he- They basically just stopped the challenge to the-

00:25:19.000 Okay, gotcha.

00:25:20.000 All right, so in February of 2023, Vivek Ramaswamy expressed support

00:25:24.000 for banning TikTok on X.

00:25:26.000 Here's the post.

00:25:27.000 And yes, I'm very open to banning TikTok outright.

00:25:30.000 In the meantime, we sit on our hands and do nothing as kids get addicted to it like it's digital fentanyl.

00:25:36.000 Seems pretty straightforward.

00:25:37.000 It seems pretty straightforward.

00:25:38.000 Digital fentanyl, bad.

00:25:39.000 The word outright.

00:25:41.000 Outright?

00:25:41.000 That's also something that stuck out to you?

00:25:43.000 Okay, perfect.

00:25:43.000 Yeah.

00:25:45.000 Now... Fudge!

00:25:47.000 Isn't that on the same side every time?

00:25:51.000 The arrow's just pointing a different direction?

00:25:52.000 I think you point the right way.

00:25:54.000 Well, I did that first, and then I just... Yeah.

00:25:54.000 I did!

00:25:57.000 Anyway.

00:25:57.000 You're pointing back to the future.

00:25:58.000 Really isn't the point.

00:25:58.000 You're right.

00:26:00.000 Now... Don't do it again, please.

00:26:03.000 Trump wants to save TikTok.

00:26:05.000 Fudge! 0.99

00:26:09.000 I say that, but it's basically my other word for anyway.

00:26:11.000 Trump railed against this potential ban on his Truth Post.

00:26:18.000 We'll break this down, but here we go.

00:26:19.000 Here's what he said.

00:26:20.000 I'm not doing the voice because I can't do the voice.

00:26:22.000 Do it, do it, do it.

00:26:24.000 But it's bad.

00:26:25.000 It's objectively bad.

00:26:25.000 It's good.

00:26:27.000 It's at least a 7 or 10.

00:26:27.000 No, no, no.

00:26:28.000 Alright, pull it back up.

00:26:29.000 I don't want to see myself while I do this.

00:26:31.000 If you get rid of TikTok, Facebook, and Zuckerschmuck, I don't want Facebook, who cheated in the last election, doing better.

00:26:41.000 They are a true enemy of the people.

00:26:46.000 I hate myself for that.

00:26:47.000 I hate all of you for putting me up to that.

00:26:50.000 But he said those words and I don't, I understand part of it.

00:26:50.000 Thank you, Gerald.

00:26:54.000 I don't understand, but why the 180?

00:26:57.000 The claw machine hack videos on TikTok?

00:26:57.000 What did he find?

00:27:01.000 See?

00:27:03.000 That's a happy camper right there.

00:27:04.000 Just so you know, those machines are made.

00:27:07.000 To make fathers look incompetent and unable to provide for their children's desires.

00:27:14.000 When they see a stuffed animal in there and they go, Daddy, I want that!

00:27:19.000 And then you get it and the claw picks it up and you're like, I'm a winner.

00:27:22.000 My son is seeing me as a... Oh, I dropped it.

00:27:25.000 And then $20 later, you still haven't won, but you also are showing your son that you can't give up.

00:27:31.000 Trying to teach him some lessons?

00:27:33.000 And then you have people over here like you, Josh Feierstein, and you, Tesla Tim, because I'm using that name because I'm pissed off at you.

00:27:40.000 You're saying, I got it on the second try!

00:27:42.000 It makes below average fathers look better! 0.63

00:27:47.000 Or you just give your kid a gambling addiction.

00:27:50.000 Just kidding, you're not below average fathers, guys.

00:27:51.000 I just hate the claw machine.

00:27:53.000 You know, I did find one that was a guaranteed win, and it was like $5, and I'm like, I'm totally in for that.

00:27:57.000 I know it's a $1 little ducky that I'm getting, but at least my son's gonna know I'm a winner.

00:28:01.000 Yeah.

00:28:01.000 When I play a game, I win, son.

00:28:03.000 If you just go into the store where the claw machine is and buy the toy.

00:28:07.000 Just buy it!

00:28:07.000 I know!

00:28:08.000 You can always just sell your son your winner by going, ah, it's rigged!

00:28:12.000 That's true! 1.00

00:28:14.000 Life sucks, kid. 0.99

00:28:15.000 Get used to it. 0.99

00:28:16.000 Or you break the machine and then get all the toys.

00:28:19.000 That's what I say.

00:28:19.000 There you go.

00:28:21.000 Go in there with a 1911 and take all those toys.

00:28:23.000 Wow.

00:28:24.000 Whoa.

00:28:24.000 Yeah.

00:28:25.000 Well, at least, at least eight.

00:28:27.000 You don't need to like hold the machine at gunpoint.

00:28:30.000 It works.

00:28:30.000 Okay.

00:28:32.000 All right.

00:28:32.000 So then Vivek came out and supported Trump saying it was wrong to ban TikTok.

00:28:38.000 President Trump just came out against a legislative measure that would require the owner of TikTok to divest it.

00:28:46.000 It's currently a Chinese owner, a company called ByteDance, or else that it would be banned in the United States.

00:28:51.000 President Trump just came out opposing that.

00:28:53.000 I think that's the right decision, actually, of President Trump to oppose that legislation because it doesn't make any sense.

00:28:59.000 This point about the divestment relates to a different concern.

00:29:02.000 The use and provision of data, U.S.

00:29:05.000 user data, potentially to the Chinese Communist Party.

00:29:07.000 And I think that is a major concern.

00:29:09.000 But here's the rub.

00:29:11.000 It isn't limited to just TikTok or even Chinese-owned companies in the U.S.

00:29:16.000 It expands to include even so-called U.S.

00:29:19.000 companies that are still beholden to the CCP because they do business in China.

00:29:24.000 So we have to ask ourselves the why.

00:29:25.000 And if the real concern we have, and I think it is a real concern we ought to have, is the provision of U.S.

00:29:31.000 consumer and user data to the Chinese Communist Party, that's what we should be legislating against.

00:29:36.000 Ban U.S. 0.99

00:29:37.000 companies from providing U.S.

00:29:39.000 user data to China.

00:29:41.000 I think it's a sensible measure regardless of the company.

00:29:45.000 Okay, so we're going to do a little experiment here.

00:29:49.000 I understand what he's saying, but I also understand that people in the political sphere will kind of say sometimes whatever they need to say.

00:29:57.000 And it does look really weird for us to show clips from not so long ago, especially with Vivek, and then clips of today and see what seems to be an incredibly Stark difference in the case of Donald Trump signing an executive order and actually pushing forward with this measure and then now saying not to.

00:30:13.000 Vivek saying that he thinks it's fine to do an outright ban.

00:30:16.000 Word that you pointed out, outright ban.

00:30:18.000 And now saying, I actually support Donald... I had to, I'm sorry.

00:30:26.000 Now... I can't do it twice.

00:30:31.000 Leave me hanging?

00:30:33.000 So, I...

00:30:35.000 Back to my point before I was so rudely interrupted.

00:30:37.000 I understand what Vivek is saying.

00:30:42.000 But I'm giving him credit, or I guess I'm just assuming that he's being honest.

00:30:46.000 That's what I'm really doing.

00:30:47.000 I'm just saying, look, if he's being 100% honest, and this is what he truly believes, then I understand it.

00:30:53.000 You can use TikTok as the momentum changing company, the face of the problem, and say any company doing business in the United States is not allowed to give this kind of user data to any of these foreign governments.

00:31:08.000 None.

00:31:08.000 Period.

00:31:09.000 Zero.

00:31:10.000 Can't do it.

00:31:11.000 Everybody wins if you get that kind of bill passed.

00:31:13.000 Now, there may be some problems with that.

00:31:14.000 There may be some tricky legislation hoops you have to jump through and pitfalls that you have to avoid.

00:31:19.000 I completely understand that.

00:31:20.000 But if that's what he's saying, then that's something that I could probably get behind because what he said was reasonable.

00:31:24.000 It says, doesn't take care of the issue that we have with Facebook and a bunch of other companies that are basically doing the same thing because they're beholden to China as well.

00:31:32.000 It's not just about being involved with the CCP.

00:31:35.000 It's about being beholden to them.

00:31:36.000 You know how I know that?

00:31:37.000 Because the NBA started kicking fans out that had signs that said something about Hong Kong.

00:31:43.000 In the United States, by the way.

00:31:44.000 The game was not in China or in Hong Kong where they were kicked out.

00:31:47.000 So I understand that they have an undue influence and I understand that we are all hypocritical when we look at these companies and don't call them out for that sense.

00:31:54.000 But Lane, you disagree.

00:31:56.000 Or at least in some ways.

00:31:57.000 There's so many logical flaws with this argument.

00:31:59.000 There's so many.

00:32:00.000 First of all, those other companies... Mine or theirs, or both?

00:32:04.000 Well, yours to an extent, but not necessarily.

00:32:07.000 I understand where you're trying to come from.

00:32:08.000 You're trying to see his position, and I appreciate that.

00:32:10.000 Again, I'm assuming he's being completely honest.

00:32:12.000 I tried to see it, I saw it, and I hate it.

00:32:16.000 First of all, these other social media companies that he's talking about, there's no allowance for them to exist at all in China, which is...

00:32:25.000 Our pacing threat of a lifetime, they're our most critical adversary since at least World War II, and that's not really even arguable.

00:32:33.000 Now, beyond that, yes, we should look at all those things that he said as far as banning any companies from sharing U.S.

00:32:39.000 citizens' user data with the Chinese or any foreign adversary.

00:32:42.000 Great.

00:32:43.000 However, stopping TikTok from doing so is going to require so much more than it would requiring those companies to.

00:32:50.000 It's going to require so much more oversight, different mechanisms, because it's inherently a national security issue with a company that we don't have access to.

00:32:58.000 Right.

00:32:58.000 We don't have access to the code.

00:33:00.000 We don't have access to the engineers.

00:33:01.000 So anything that we issue as law that covers, in a blanket term, all these other social media companies is not going to have the same effect on TikTok anyway.

00:33:11.000 So TikTok and ByteDance are always going to need special legislation that is formatted through a national security lens to deal with this.

00:33:19.000 And that's what this is doing.

00:33:21.000 And for the first time, it's a problem that's so obvious.

00:33:23.000 You have 90% of people on both sides of the aisle, except your radical weirdos like AOC, and all of a sudden now, I'm not calling Vivek or Trump or Rand Paul, whoever, radical, but all of a sudden they became strange bedfellows with the radical left on this TikTok thing.

00:33:38.000 Don't we think there's an issue there?

00:33:40.000 Because in the middle, we have a group of people From Democrat to Republican that are looking at a problem that said, this is so obvious, we have a way to solve it right now, we can do the other stuff, but why are we not solving this problem that's in front of us?

00:33:52.000 Why?

00:33:52.000 It just seems... Maybe.

00:33:56.000 Maybe that's true.

00:33:57.000 Well, look, I think you're right.

00:33:59.000 I think there is probably a national security lens that we need to look through on foreign-owned companies.

00:34:04.000 This is a national security bill.

00:34:05.000 Well, no, what I'm saying is maybe that we then follow that up with something about domestic companies as well, sharing that data.

00:34:10.000 So we do both.

00:34:11.000 I don't want to miss the opportunity.

00:34:13.000 People look at TikTok and they understand for the most part what it is, except everyone writing the bill.

00:34:17.000 I doubt any of them have actually used TikTok.

00:34:19.000 But understanding that this is potentially a problem, we've dealt with it before, so this is a really good example to use to get something done.

00:34:26.000 Huawei was not.

00:34:26.000 Right?

00:34:28.000 They just banned Huawei outright.

00:34:29.000 Most Americans had no idea how to pronounce Huawei.

00:34:32.000 It starts with an H. Well, that was more about the hardware.

00:34:35.000 I understand, but it wasn't something that they could run with because it's not a social media company that most people use and understand and go, Oh, okay.

00:34:42.000 I get it.

00:34:42.000 TikTok.

00:34:43.000 They may not understand the problem with it, but at least they're paying attention.

00:34:47.000 With Huawei, they're like, what?

00:34:48.000 5G technology, whatever.

00:34:49.000 I don't really want to worry about that.

00:34:51.000 I don't want to waste the opportunity.

00:34:53.000 So I hope they don't just look at this and go, TikTok issue solved.

00:34:56.000 I hope they keep going with this and come up with other bills because Facebook also is a problem, right?

00:35:01.000 There are other companies that this is an issue for and it's not because they're owned by the CCP.

00:35:07.000 They're actually influenced by them to be able to do business in China because they want the money.

00:35:11.000 And your argument makes sense and it holds a lot of water.

00:35:13.000 Vivek was not making that argument.

00:35:15.000 He wasn't.

00:35:15.000 No, and I need them... If that's what they are trying to do, they need to do a better job of articulating it.

00:35:20.000 Right now, they just look like they're flipping.

00:35:23.000 He's a very, very intelligent guy.

00:35:25.000 I fail to see how he's just skipped on that little logical premise right there.

00:35:29.000 You know what?

00:35:29.000 Vivek, let's do another space.

00:35:31.000 You and I, we'll talk about this, or come on the show and talk with Steven about it, because we need to understand why, all of a sudden, This position seems to be changing for not only you, but also for the president.

00:35:41.000 You are speaking for Donald Trump in a lot of ways, so we need a little bit more understanding.

00:35:45.000 I would love to invite you on the show to make sure that we understand the position that you guys are advocating for, because right now it does look a little weird.

00:35:52.000 Okay, so let's get into one more thing about this.

00:35:54.000 Jeff?

00:35:55.000 Yes.

00:35:56.000 Yes!

00:35:58.000 Jeez.

00:35:58.000 Yes!

00:35:59.000 I knew that was going to happen.

00:36:04.000 Button! 0.76

00:36:06.000 A little late to the game on that.

00:36:08.000 Sorry about that, guys.

00:36:09.000 Told you it was going to happen.

00:36:10.000 Hold that button. 0.83

00:36:11.000 Listen, it's going to happen, okay?

00:36:13.000 I'm sorry.

00:36:14.000 So, Jeff, you asked a U.S.

00:36:15.000 businessman that has a $33 billion stake.

00:36:18.000 That's a lot of money, Jeff.

00:36:19.000 Geez.

00:36:22.000 He is reportedly threatening to pull funding from Republicans who support the ban.

00:36:27.000 Oh, we have a protester!

00:36:29.000 Yes, pretty much.

00:36:30.000 He also recently met with Trump at a Club for Growth retreat.

00:36:34.000 And in this cycle, he's been very critical of Donald Trump and funded his opponents.

00:36:39.000 And he also donated about $5 million to Vivek starting last summer.

00:36:43.000 So the connection here with this guy, and he's been critical of Donald Trump, and all of a sudden these guys, you and I were talking about this before the show, Donald Trump's been invited to speak at a Club for Growth event, right?

00:36:54.000 And it's one of those things where it's like, okay, people get invited to speak at stuff all the time.

00:36:58.000 Well, not when you typically are mortal enemies with somebody else.

00:37:01.000 clearly was trying to bankroll other people to keep Trump out. And he had

00:37:04.000 mentioned how it was very hard to dissuade Trump from running because he

00:37:07.000 was not held to the certain kind of mechanisms that funding, you know, if you need

00:37:12.000 funding for your campaign, Trump was not, he was kind of impervious to those

00:37:15.000 because he's a self-made dude. Yeah. So all of a sudden, oh, money starts flowing.

00:37:21.000 And so listen, again, this is one of those things.

00:37:24.000 We're not dogging on Trump.

00:37:25.000 But if this is happening, he needs to address it.

00:37:27.000 He needs to make sure he's completely transparent with people.

00:37:30.000 And if his position is only changing because of the finances involved, that's wrong.

00:37:34.000 His positions should be his position, which normally that's the case for him.

00:37:37.000 So I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt for now.

00:37:39.000 But We need some clarification on this before I am fully going to say, OK, I understand, because right now I don't.

00:37:45.000 Yass has also given $10 million to Rand Paul, who also opposes the ban.

00:37:51.000 And Rand Paul cited First Amendment protections as justification on X. So here's his post.

00:37:55.000 The TikTok bill recently advanced by the House would endanger the First Amendment and empower the federal government to ban social media platforms.

00:38:02.000 Okay, that's very reasonable and understandable.

00:38:04.000 And he had some other people come to his defense and say that they agreed.

00:38:08.000 So here's another post.

00:38:09.000 crackdown on TikTok tramples upon its First Amendment rights.

00:38:09.000 The U.S.

00:38:13.000 Let's just leave that up for a second for me.

00:38:16.000 I mean yeah, they're tearing the First Amendment. 0.82

00:38:19.000 Who's the Global Times?

00:38:22.000 Oh, that's China's state media.

00:38:23.000 Do they have First Amendment rights globally?

00:38:27.000 No.

00:38:28.000 Who's freely posting on American social media?

00:38:31.000 It's weird.

00:38:31.000 They are.

00:38:33.000 Play that again, I love that.

00:38:35.000 Why should your platform not be banned in the United States of America?

00:38:37.000 You are owned by a Chinese Communist company, or a company based in China.

00:38:40.000 Ticktock. This is not a First Amendment issue, but more a data and national security issue,

00:38:46.000 as highlighted by Josh Hawley. Why should your platform not be banned in the United States of

00:38:52.000 America? You are owned by a Chinese communist company or a company based in China. The editor

00:38:59.000 in chief of your parent company is a communist party secretary. Your company has been surveilling

00:39:08.000 Americans for years.

00:39:10.000 Thank you.

00:39:11.000 According to leaked audio from more than 80 internal TikTok meetings, China-based employees of your company have repeatedly accessed non-public data of United States citizens.

00:39:21.000 Your company has tracked journalists improperly gaining access to their IP addresses, user data, in an attempt to identify whether they're writing negative stories about you.

00:39:33.000 Your platform is basically an espionage arm for the Chinese Communist Party.

00:39:38.000 Why should you not be banned in the United States of America?

00:39:41.000 That's a really good question.

00:39:43.000 That's the dude the Republican Party should be hitching their image to, is him.

00:39:46.000 He has all the same policies as the MAGA side, but he articulates them very well.

00:39:51.000 He can argue with both sides.

00:39:55.000 I am so blown away why that dude is not the face of the party.

00:39:57.000 I don't get it. 0.98

00:39:58.000 That dude is a gangster. 0.99

00:40:00.000 He is a gangster.

00:40:01.000 Because Lane has a bromance, would you like to come on the show?

00:40:04.000 Dude, I'm just saying.

00:40:05.000 No, I like his positions as well.

00:40:07.000 When we use his clips, he's very fiery, but he's also very reasonable in kind of his passion.

00:40:12.000 Like, his passion doesn't overwhelm his logic, right?

00:40:14.000 And he always makes a very good logical argument, but does it with passion.

00:40:17.000 And that's great to see, especially in cases like this where you have TikTok that is absolutely beholden to share data with the CCP.

00:40:23.000 leaked internal audio that he even referenced from TikTok confirmed that and basically said,

00:40:29.000 everything is seen in China.

00:40:31.000 Leave that up for a second.

00:40:32.000 I wanna read the whole thing.

00:40:33.000 Leaked audio from more than 80 internal TikTok meetings shows that China-based employees of ByteDance

00:40:36.000 have repeatedly accessed non-public data.

00:40:38.000 That's what he said.

00:40:39.000 Then the quote is, everything is seen in China, said a member of TikTok's trust and safety department

00:40:44.000 in September 2021 meeting.

00:40:47.000 Trust and safety is, trust us, we showed you everything.

00:40:52.000 We absolutely gave you all the data.

00:40:53.000 Now, that's a real problem for people.

00:40:56.000 And I have had some conversations with people about TikTok in the past.

00:40:59.000 I've articulated my concerns and they said, no, no, no, no, no.

00:41:01.000 The concern from China is not that they're gathering data on people, it's that they're 0.90

00:41:06.000 going to commit cyber attacks against the United States.

00:41:09.000 And I said, look, I understand that cyber attacks are a big problem.

00:41:13.000 And knocking down websites during the State of the Union is probably a big deal.

00:41:17.000 AT&T going down along with some others going down.

00:41:19.000 Facebook and all these cloud services going down over the last couple of weeks.

00:41:23.000 All of that is a big problem.

00:41:24.000 MySpace?

00:41:25.000 MySpace.

00:41:26.000 Are they the reason it went down?

00:41:27.000 MySpace didn't go down.

00:41:30.000 Oh. 0.95

00:41:31.000 But it sucks, so nobody cares anymore about it. 0.98

00:41:33.000 Come on. 0.98

00:41:33.000 Maybe it should have gone down. 0.98

00:41:34.000 Maybe you could have a better excuse for sucking. 0.99

00:41:36.000 Put some respect on Tom's name. 0.99

00:41:37.000 No, Tom.

00:41:38.000 It would have been better for you if they had taken you down.

00:41:40.000 Tom sold that and ran.

00:41:44.000 MySpace.

00:41:45.000 Good job, Tom.

00:41:46.000 No, I understand.

00:41:47.000 But look, there's an issue with gathering information, gathering data, and then using that data against citizens.

00:41:56.000 You don't just have a problem when they can take out your services.

00:41:59.000 You have a problem when they can influence people to do things when they don't even have to attack at all. 0.86

00:42:05.000 All they have to do is kind of dumb down the population a little bit with dance videos all the time, or people doing really stupid things that are going to end up hurting them, right?

00:42:14.000 And promoting that to as many kids as possible, understanding that you don't know what the algorithm is actually trying to do.

00:42:20.000 It is not just some benign thing.

00:42:22.000 We've talked about it before.

00:42:24.000 Serving this algorithm that we have in the United States, even if it's not nefarious, is a bad thing.

00:42:29.000 You throw in the Chinese Communist Party, their objectives in the world, and it starts to become a very bad thing very quickly. 1.00

00:42:34.000 The administration knows this.

00:42:36.000 You know how I know?

00:42:38.000 They've gone after, and I mean the current administration, and I mean people that are like them in the Democrat Party, they have gone after this kind of behavior before.

00:42:46.000 When they put that kind of truth, and what was the ministry of truth or whatever the heck it was, maybe that was just the nickname that we all gave it.

00:42:52.000 It was basically that.

00:42:53.000 Essentially the Ministry of Truth to go after fake news and to go after misinformation and disinformation and now we had to have different terms for all of these things.

00:43:00.000 They went after all of that.

00:43:02.000 That's exactly what this is, except it's being weaponized not just for clicks and money and some minor control, it's being weaponized against an entire population.

00:43:12.000 It is a major threat.

00:43:13.000 Start taking it seriously, otherwise we're all gonna have to pay the price for it.

00:43:17.000 But we So TikTok uses Oracle to wall off data from users, right?

00:43:26.000 So it's a project called Project Texas, and it's a big failure.

00:43:31.000 Is that a fair point to make?

00:43:32.000 So if we wanted to get more into Rand Paul's tweets, he was like, Trump tried to ban this with Project Texas, which is like Oracle would get access to the code and be able to wall off and keep the user data inside the US, except That didn't happen at all.

00:43:44.000 And within, like, months, the engineers were like, there's too much new code coming from China every day. 0.59

00:43:48.000 We have no idea what's going on.

00:43:49.000 They're using ByteDance internal messaging systems.

00:43:53.000 So Rand Paul knows this.

00:43:55.000 These people know these things. 0.99

00:43:57.000 So that's why I can't take these people at face value, because they're not stupid enough to know that this isn't happening. 0.99

00:44:02.000 Right. 0.99

00:44:02.000 So why did they call it Project Texas? 0.99

00:44:04.000 Because Oracle's based in Texas.

00:44:06.000 Fine.

00:44:07.000 I'll let you have that.

00:44:09.000 I'm going to Oracle. 1.00

00:44:09.000 You can go to hell. 1.00

00:44:12.000 It's a quote. 0.99

00:44:13.000 It's a famous quote.

00:44:15.000 One of the other things is that when you look at TikTok, you also have to look at them in relation to other companies because, you know, Donald Trump is making the point that Facebook is just as bad, and I think they potentially are, but maybe not quite.

00:44:27.000 TikTok actually scored dead last out of 23 apps on tracking and privacy in a study including Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, now X, right?

00:44:35.000 Dead last.

00:44:36.000 Even among other companies that we would consider, yeah, way, way, way, they were first in being last.

00:44:42.000 Even with other companies that we know are a bit of a problem.

00:44:45.000 And it's in-app browser.

00:44:47.000 It also allows the company to track keystrokes.

00:44:50.000 And that's something that you're familiar with because Instagram and Facebook, they do the same thing.

00:44:54.000 Tracking keystrokes.

00:44:55.000 Tracking everything that you do is a bad thing.

00:44:58.000 But in TikTok, you can't turn it off.

00:45:02.000 You can't turn that feature off.

00:45:04.000 On Instagram and Facebook, you can actually go in and turn it off. 0.99

00:45:06.000 I, for one, think it should be off and you have to be a moron and turn it on. 0.92

00:45:10.000 But at least they give you the option to turn it off. 0.93

00:45:12.000 TikTok does not.

00:45:14.000 Look, here's the kind of final point on TikTok.

00:45:18.000 It's more dangerous than any of these other apps because it is directly beholden to the CCP.

00:45:26.000 Period.

00:45:27.000 These other apps that do business in China have a problem as well.

00:45:30.000 But they're not directly beholden to the CCP.

00:45:32.000 If they don't do business in China, they still exist as a company.

00:45:35.000 They may not make as much money.

00:45:36.000 They may have to make some cutbacks.

00:45:38.000 But if TikTok does not do what their parent company ByteDance does, which is what the CCP wants them to do, The company probably goes away.

00:45:48.000 It has a lot of problems.

00:45:49.000 So now the question becomes, how do you fix this?

00:45:53.000 Josh Hawley has better points on this than most people.

00:45:56.000 Go look at it.

00:45:56.000 I think it's time to make sure that you fix TikTok's problem and you fix the problem with the rest of the companies that might be sending user information to foreign adversaries.

00:46:05.000 Seems pretty clear to me.

00:46:06.000 Don't miss this opportunity.

00:46:07.000 I just can't assess one question before we get out of here.

00:46:09.000 And because I want to know your opinion on it.

00:46:09.000 You may.

00:46:11.000 Let's say this is probably going to pass the House.

00:46:12.000 It got out of the committee 50 to 0.

00:46:14.000 Biden said he's going to sign it.

00:46:15.000 So if it gets through, let's say it gets blocked in the Senate and the people that block it are the 52 or whatever Democrats that are in there.

00:46:24.000 So now all of a sudden everybody said good for the ban except Senate Democrats and our top and our nominee for President of the United States.

00:46:34.000 That's a bad look.

00:46:35.000 What's a bad look?

00:46:36.000 How do you spin that then?

00:46:38.000 It's going to be really hard.

00:46:39.000 I'm going to vote for Trump.

00:46:40.000 Don't get me wrong.

00:46:40.000 There's nothing that at this point that would get me to vote for Biden, even if two guns were pointed at my head.

00:46:45.000 But the fact is you're going to be in a very precarious situation.

00:46:47.000 Can we test that?

00:46:48.000 Can we point three?

00:46:51.000 I just want to hold our side to a higher standard.

00:46:53.000 I agree.

00:46:54.000 I 100% agree.

00:46:55.000 Look, that's why I said that they need to come on and tell us what they mean.

00:46:59.000 Talk to us and give us the truth.

00:47:04.000 What do you really mean by this?

00:47:05.000 Are you changing your position?

00:47:06.000 I think you have to address that.

00:47:07.000 When everybody gets called out for flip-flopping on issues years later, I think it's fair.

00:47:12.000 But it's also fair to listen to the response, but it better be good.

00:47:15.000 Because right now it doesn't seem like it's very good and you're right.

00:47:17.000 It's a very bad look to be Siding with AOC.

00:47:21.000 Ew.

00:47:21.000 That's not a good thing.

00:47:22.000 By the way, on the voter thing, like, I am a single-issue voter now.

00:47:25.000 Getting rid of daylight savings time.

00:47:26.000 Like, ever changing the clocks again?

00:47:29.000 Just pick a lane.

00:47:30.000 And just do it.

00:47:32.000 I literally will vote for somebody...

00:47:34.000 I don't think I'd vote for AOC, but I would literally vote for somebody whose only plan is to make sure that that clock never changes again. 1.00

00:47:41.000 It's stupid. 0.99

00:47:43.000 I don't care if you live in the north and it's dark later. 1.00

00:47:45.000 Move south where it's light longer.

00:47:47.000 I don't care.

00:47:48.000 Especially when it starts to go in the fall where days get so short that you leave work and it feels like midnight.

00:47:48.000 I hate it.

00:47:54.000 I didn't realize it happened.

00:47:55.000 You didn't realize it happened?

00:47:56.000 No, I didn't realize it.

00:47:57.000 Someone told me this morning. 0.97

00:47:58.000 They're like, ah, daylight savings time sucks.

00:48:00.000 And I was like, oh, is that today? 0.89

00:48:01.000 You're like, no, I was just tired yesterday.

00:48:03.000 I was like, well, I slept in an extra hour yesterday.

00:48:06.000 No, it's the other way.

00:48:08.000 You woke up at your normal time.

00:48:10.000 It was just an hour later.

00:48:11.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:48:13.000 I was like, wow, I got a nice rest.

00:48:16.000 Yeah, it's really fun with young children.

00:48:18.000 Love that. 0.98

00:48:20.000 Jerks. 0.95

00:48:21.000 Anyway, remember, go to CrowderShop.com. 0.86

00:48:25.000 There's only two ways really to support us.

00:48:26.000 One, join Mug Club. 0.89

00:48:28.000 That's 100% the first place that we want you to go join Mug Club. 0.97

00:48:31.000 Second is CrowderShop.com, guys.

00:48:33.000 You can get all kinds of great merch.

00:48:34.000 We always are updating the new items.

00:48:36.000 We have the Fight Like Hell Trump shirt.

00:48:38.000 Always a target, never a victim.

00:48:40.000 The shirt is on there as well.

00:48:42.000 And every purchase right now gets you an entry for 1,000 rounds of ammo.

00:48:45.000 Oof.

00:48:47.000 Yes, 1,000 rounds of ammo just in case the zombie apocalypse happens.

00:48:53.000 You will be ready for at least 1,000 of them.

00:48:55.000 Be a good shot.

00:48:56.000 Well, I mean, let's be honest.

00:48:57.000 Most people are going to be good for about 175.

00:48:59.000 Not everybody can be you, Josh.

00:49:03.000 Hey, I'm good for 200.

00:49:04.000 What about some twofers? 1.00

00:49:05.000 The zombies tend to walk close together and, you know, like line up.

00:49:08.000 That's a good point.

00:49:09.000 You can get some twofers.

00:49:11.000 I think you can.

00:49:12.000 All right, so let's finish up with a little bit of Joseph Robinette Biden.

00:49:18.000 If you watched our stream last Thursday, if you were one of the well over 200,000 people to do so, we thank you very much for watching it live.

00:49:26.000 You heard that you have to subscribe or you're gay, along with many, many other things, and that they also held my family hostage. 0.93

00:49:33.000 Don't worry, we met the minimum, they're safe.

00:49:35.000 But on Saturday, in an interview with MSNBC, our former Vice President Joe Biden apologized for calling Lakin Riley's, not Lincoln Riley's, Lakin Riley's killer in Illegal.

00:49:49.000 I noticed the look of surprise on your face when you walked into the chamber and you saw Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene.

00:49:54.000 It was priceless.

00:49:56.000 You fainted in shock.

00:49:57.000 Yes, funny moment.

00:49:59.000 But during your response to her heckling of you, you used the word illegal when talking about the man who allegedly killed Lakin Riley.

00:50:08.000 Undocumented version.

00:50:10.000 And I shouldn't have used the link.

00:50:11.000 It's undocumented.

00:50:12.000 And look, when I spoke about the difference between Trump and me, one of the things I talked about on the border was that his, the way he talks about vermin, the way he talks about these people polluting the blood.

00:50:23.000 I talked about what I'm not going to do, what I won't do.

00:50:26.000 I'm not going to treat any, any of these people with disrespect.

00:50:30.000 None of them?

00:50:31.000 Even the killers.

00:50:32.000 Our economy is growing.

00:50:34.000 We have to control the border and more orderly flow.

00:50:37.000 I don't share it with you at all.

00:50:39.000 So you regret using that word?

00:50:41.000 Yes.

00:50:43.000 Fun fact, the killer does not regret killing.

00:50:46.000 Really?

00:50:46.000 Yeah.

00:50:47.000 Huh.

00:50:47.000 You know who I know disagrees with former Vice President Joseph- EVERYONE!

00:50:56.000 Including Joe Biden.

00:51:00.000 Do you regret using the word illegal to describe immigrants last night, sir?

00:51:04.000 Well, not probably.

00:51:05.000 Technically, you're not supposed to be here.

00:51:14.000 Are you kidding me?

00:51:16.000 Technically he's not supposed to be here.

00:51:19.000 It's not a mundane detail, Michael.

00:51:22.000 It's a big deal.

00:51:23.000 This guy went out and killed somebody.

00:51:28.000 And we're saying we need to be careful with how we refer to this person because technically, no, objectively, he was not supposed to be here and we caught him.

00:51:38.000 We had a chance to get him out of here, but it's only because of a whole cities like New York that have sanctuary city laws.

00:51:45.000 That he was even allowed to be there anymore!

00:51:47.000 Gosh.

00:51:48.000 We just saw Joe Biden on script, Joe Biden off script.

00:51:51.000 That's right!

00:51:52.000 We saw Joe Biden when he didn't have somebody pulling the strings, when Obama wasn't in his ear, apparently.

00:51:59.000 Gosh, this rehearsal's been on for 55 uppers or something.

00:52:00.000 You can tell the difference between the lighting and the cameras, when he's on script or off script.

00:52:05.000 I know.

00:52:06.000 That just pisses me off, because somebody died, and they shouldn't have died.

00:52:11.000 Right?

00:52:11.000 It's always bad.

00:52:12.000 Technically somebody died.

00:52:15.000 Theoretically, technically, all of the... Epidermically.

00:52:15.000 Theoretically.

00:52:18.000 Somebody died.

00:52:20.000 And we're worried about how we refer to this person?

00:52:26.000 Listen, we're going to do a little claim truth around this.

00:52:28.000 Okay, so one of the claims that you heard was that illegals built this country.

00:52:34.000 On rock and roll?

00:52:36.000 Who said that?

00:52:39.000 Tim, illegals built this country. 1.00

00:52:41.000 Don't you know that?

00:52:42.000 Here's the truth.

00:52:44.000 This country was built by pioneers. 0.98

00:52:48.000 Fleeing oppressive governments, monarchs, situations.

00:52:53.000 They also included Europeans who came through Ellis Island escaping and signed the guest book.

00:52:58.000 They were escaping war, pogroms, you know, genocide, stuff like that.

00:53:02.000 You know, minor details.

00:53:03.000 Minor, minor things.

00:53:04.000 You know, they're, they're here.

00:53:05.000 Another truth?

00:53:08.000 Another truth.

00:53:09.000 I'm waiting.

00:53:11.000 There we go.

00:53:12.000 Today's illegals are also here to siphon money from a welfare state. 1.00

00:53:17.000 We've had video after video that has come out and shown that that's what they are doing.

00:53:21.000 They're coming here for economic opportunity.

00:53:23.000 I came here for the money.

00:53:24.000 And illegals are costing U.S. 1.00

00:53:26.000 taxpayers over 150 billion dollars per year. That's good for the deficit.

00:53:36.000 Also known as seven and a half border walls.

00:53:39.000 Again, I'm pricing these things in border walls because we can solve the problem six and a half more times than we need to in just one year's worth of money.

00:53:47.000 Six walls is a good idea.

00:53:49.000 Well, I don't know.

00:53:49.000 We need six.

00:53:50.000 We could put it on every sign.

00:53:52.000 We could do two.

00:53:53.000 Like walls that move.

00:53:54.000 And you have to try to find your way through.

00:53:57.000 Like Maze Runner.

00:53:58.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:53:58.000 And then it always leads back to Mexico.

00:54:00.000 You could do that.

00:54:01.000 You could get the games people from the Mockingjay series and just be like, you know, yeah.

00:54:06.000 It's not Mockingjay, it's Hunger Games.

00:54:08.000 Mockingjay was one of the episodes.

00:54:10.000 Don't mess with me too much.

00:54:11.000 It was one of the movies.

00:54:12.000 It was one of the books.

00:54:12.000 It was one of the movies.

00:54:14.000 There's some terms that are uncultured.

00:54:15.000 We can get people that make games!

00:54:21.000 You know what I like though?

00:54:23.000 I like that when these illegal migrants are fleeing the hell holes that they are in and being persecuted in. 0.97

00:54:30.000 Shitholes. 0.82

00:54:32.000 I say other words.

00:54:33.000 Haiti's always been great.

00:54:35.000 Always been fantastic.

00:54:36.000 That's why they named it after them.

00:54:37.000 They do us a great service and they wave flags so that we know which country they came from.

00:54:45.000 This Haitian music.

00:54:48.000 That's what you eat people to.

00:54:49.000 Yes. At least the Mexican culture is a huge influence in American culture.

00:55:05.000 The rest of them... Yeah, it has an info like... Nevermind.

00:55:10.000 He just angered Lane.

00:55:11.000 He's short-circuited.

00:55:12.000 He'll be back in a minute.

00:55:13.000 This is not an argument over immigration or a racist thing at all.

00:55:17.000 There are plenty of immigrants, asylum seekers, refugees that deserve to have been here.

00:55:22.000 Like the Vietnamese, for example. 1.00

00:55:23.000 We basically started a war in their country. 0.98

00:55:25.000 Yeah, we should have probably taken some of the men. 0.70

00:55:28.000 Look what they did when they got here.

00:55:29.000 They've done nothing but become one of the largest outperforming socioeconomic groups in the whole country. 0.98

00:55:35.000 They're great in school, they're great in the business community, so this is clearly not a specific race thing, but there are some cultures that suck. 0.82

00:55:46.000 I'm sorry, when's the last time you used anything that was developed in Central America? 0.98

00:55:50.000 Never, because it sucks.

00:55:52.000 Ah, my pool guy's Portuguese. 0.96

00:55:54.000 That's European. 0.94

00:55:55.000 Well, he speaks Portuguese, he's from Brazil.

00:55:56.000 That's South American. 0.86

00:56:00.000 He was very specific on Central America.

00:56:02.000 Is Central America a continent?

00:56:03.000 I don't think it is.

00:56:04.000 It's a region.

00:56:05.000 It's not part of either.

00:56:06.000 Is that Mexico?

00:56:07.000 No, that's North America.

00:56:09.000 Where is Central America?

00:56:10.000 I don't understand.

00:56:11.000 It's between North and South America.

00:56:12.000 It's in the central part.

00:56:14.000 Haiti.

00:56:15.000 We're talking about Haiti.

00:56:16.000 Haiti is in the Caribbean.

00:56:18.000 What are we talking about?

00:56:21.000 Somebody get Josh Abbott.

00:56:22.000 Research, pull up Josh Abbott because we all need to know.

00:56:24.000 It's south of Mexico for sure.

00:56:26.000 This is like three countries.

00:56:27.000 And north of like Columbia.

00:56:29.000 Continents.

00:56:30.000 Panama, Nicaragua, El Salvador.

00:56:32.000 Those guys. 0.99

00:56:35.000 This is not to say everybody from those countries sucks either. 0.92

00:56:38.000 There's great people everywhere. 0.99

00:56:39.000 The cultures that they're exporting here suck though. 1.00

00:56:41.000 Yes, they do. 1.00

00:56:42.000 They've led to nothing but poverty and degradation.

00:56:45.000 There we go.

00:56:45.000 Oh, six countries, okay.

00:56:47.000 And then you see the Venezuelans coming here.

00:56:49.000 Seven.

00:56:49.000 Yeah, because they have the world's largest supply of... I'm sorry.

00:56:53.000 No, listen.

00:56:54.000 You're making all good points.

00:56:56.000 I'm just a little pissed off that they're fleeing these war-torn, economically terrible places.

00:57:00.000 We're not war-torn!

00:57:01.000 No, no, no.

00:57:01.000 I'm saying in their mind.

00:57:02.000 Like, if they're gang violence or whatever, fine.

00:57:04.000 They're not war-torn like traditional war-torn.

00:57:06.000 But they're fleeing these bad situations and coming to the United States and saying, I love my country!

00:57:11.000 And illegally entering ours.

00:57:13.000 Contrast that to those who came through Ellis Island and held up U.S. 0.98

00:57:15.000 flags.

00:57:16.000 I kind of think that this is what you should be doing when you come to the United States.

00:57:20.000 Like, oh thank God, I finally made it to the greatest country on the planet.

00:57:25.000 It's all part of this dumb social science theory that we went from being the melting pot to the mixed salad, or tossed salad if you will. 0.94

00:57:33.000 Where before we'd all become one part- No. 0.89

00:57:36.000 This ain't prison, bro.

00:57:38.000 But do you know what I'm talking about?

00:57:39.000 Before it was, we come here and you become a monolithic, you become part of the monolithic American culture and you put little parts of your culture in that might help benefit the society at large.

00:57:48.000 Now it's like, well actually I'm gonna come here, maintain every part of my shitty culture that I fled at the expense of American culture writ large and it is unsustainable and I... Yeah. 0.85

00:57:58.000 It's so, so infuriating. 0.92

00:58:00.000 This is one of those issues.

00:58:01.000 It's not the flags that pisses you off so much, it's the culture importation.

00:58:04.000 And you're 100% right.

00:58:05.000 You know who agrees with you?

00:58:06.000 Elon Musk.

00:58:07.000 Yes.

00:58:07.000 He posts about it all the time.

00:58:09.000 He absolutely gets it.

00:58:11.000 And he understands the difficulty.

00:58:13.000 And he's a guy who has to kind of play ball with a lot of people.

00:58:15.000 And I disagree with a lot of what he does.

00:58:16.000 I won't get into it right now, but he absolutely understands that we cannot do this.

00:58:22.000 It's not a sustainable path.

00:58:24.000 These people are coming in, and we're worried about how we refer to them.

00:58:28.000 Our vice president, when talking about somebody being murdered, is worried more about the term, even though we know he 100% agrees with what he said his handlers just got to him.

00:58:36.000 Really quickly, on the issue of crimes being committed by illegals, there was a Stanford University study of Mexican and Central American illegals are more likely to commit crimes than White Americans, European immigrants, Chinese immigrants, immigrants from anywhere else in the world!

00:58:53.000 It's almost like the data backs up my anger. 0.89

00:58:57.000 Literally any other immigrants, any other, and that includes places that want to kill us and wipe us off the map. 1.00

00:59:06.000 If you had people coming in from Sudan, if you had people coming in from Iran, North Korea, Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world, people that want to kill America, Come in and commit less crime. 0.93

00:59:19.000 So I don't understand why we have a problem understanding and dealing with this issue and specific examples of some of the migrant crime lately.

00:59:26.000 Here's what we're going to do.

00:59:27.000 There were a lot of burglaries, theft, other kind of lower level, but still serious crimes.

00:59:32.000 We're going to consider maybe the first one to go to murder.

00:59:35.000 Murder tends to be the worst one because it's bad when stuff gets stolen from you.

00:59:39.000 It's really worse when you're dead.

00:59:42.000 Right?

00:59:42.000 So just a couple of examples, Lake and Riley.

00:59:45.000 Elizabeth Medina and Kayla Hamilton.

00:59:48.000 And Biden is more focused on not offending someone, which actually, you know what, Josh, that brings us to the Woke Word of the Day.

00:59:55.000 Yeah.

01:00:24.000 We all know microaggression.

01:00:25.000 That's when, uh, a microaggression is how little people feel when you call them, what's up, big dog?

01:00:31.000 Uh, no, they prefer dwarf, and that's not, that's not true, though.
