MARIA: WELL THE CEO OF APPLE NOT
TAKING IT, NO ANSWERS FROM TIM
COOK.
JOINING ME SENATOR MARSHA
BLACKBURN FROM TENNESSEE.
IT’S GREAT TO HAVE YOU THIS
WEEKEND.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
YOU HAVE DONE SO MUCH WORK IN
STUDYING AND TRYING TO ENFORCE
THE LAW IN THE FACE OF THE
CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY.
WHAT IS YOUR REACTION TO
CORPORATE AMERICA ENABLING THE
CCP TO GAIN GROUND IN THE MOVE
BY APPLE?
>> IT IS VERY DISAPPOINTING TO
SEE THIS MOVE BY APPLE.
BUT IT’S REALLY NOT SURPRISING.
WE’VE BEEN VERY FRUSTRATED WITH
US-BASED COMPANIES THAT HAVE
CONTINUED TO MAKE PRODUCTS IN
THE PROVINCE WITH WEAKER SLAVE
LABOR.
WE ALSO HAVE BEEN VERY
FRUSTRATED WITH SOME WHO ARE NOT
SPEAKING OUT AND SUPPORTING THE CHINESE PEOPLE AS THEY ARE
CHINESE PEOPLE AS THEY ARE
PUSHING AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT
IN THIS REPRESSIVE REGIME.
IT WOULD’VE BEEN A GOOD THING
FOR TIM COOK TO TELL THE CCP NO,
OUR PHONES ARE OWNED BY THESE
INDIVIDUALS, THEY HAVE BOUGHT
THEM WITH THIS FEATURE, THE
FUTURE WILL REMAIN ON.
THAT SHOULD’VE BEEN THE
CONSISTENT NEUTRAL POSITION OF
APPLE WITH THE PHONES THAT ARE
OWNED THERE.
WE NO ONE AWAY WENT IN AND CUT
OFF THEIR COMMUNICATION ON THEIR
DEVICES AT THE BEHEST OF THE
CCP.
IT IS TROUBLING TO THINK THAT
APPLE MAY HAVE RECEIVED SUCH A
REQUEST AND MAY HAVE TAKEN SUCH
AN ACTION.
MARIA: THAT’S REALLY
DISCOURAGING.
WE KNOW THAT APPLE GENERATED
MORE THAN $74 BILLION IN REVENUE
IN CHINA IN THE LAST YEAR.
PERHAPS IT DOESN’T WANT TO
AFFECT THE MONEY.
IT’S BUSINESS IN CHINA SO IT
FOLLOWED WHAT THE CCP ASKED.
THIS FEATURE WAS USED BACK IN
HONG KONG WHEN THE ACTIVISTS
WERE ON THE GROUND IN HONG KONG
CALLING FOR FREEDOM AND CALLING
FOR LIBERTY AND THE CCP CAME IN
AND STARTED THROWING DOWN THE
NATIONAL SECURITY LAW AND
THROWING FREEDOM FIGHTERS IN
JAIL, IS THAT WHAT THE CCP WAS
TRYING TO STOP THIS TIME AROUND?
>> YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT THAT.
THERE ARE A COUPLE OF IMPORTANT
POINTS.
NUMBER ONE.
COMPANIES SHOULD REALIZE YOU’RE
NEVER GOING TO END UP MAKING
MONEY UNDER A REPRESSIVE REGIME.
SO DO NOT HELP THEM FURTHER
THEIR CAUSE.
THEY’RE GOING TO END UP TAKING
YOUR COMPANY IN TAKING YOUR
PROFITS.
SO DON’T GO THERE WITH THEM.
WHAT YOU NEED IS FREE PEOPLE,
FREE MARKETS IN ORDER FOR YOUR
COMPANY TO BE ABLE TO MAKE
THINGS WORK.
WHEN IT COMES TO HONG KONG YOU
HAVE TO LOOK AT THE HONG KONG
FREEDOM FIGHTERS.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT HOW THEY
THOUGHT AND NOW YOU HAVE PEOPLE
LIKE JIMMY LAI THAT ARE GETTING
READY TO GO INTO COURT TO BE
CONVICTED BY THE CHINESE
COMMUNIST PARTY FOR DOING WHAT,
HAVING A NEWSPAPER.
BUT THERE IS THE ALSO THE OPEN
TECHNOLOGY FUND THAT WE HAVE IN
THE UNITED STATES AND THIS WEEK
WE PUT EFFORT INTO TRYING TO SEE
ARE THEY GOING TO EXERCISE OPENING THE INTERNET FOR THE
OPENING THE INTERNET FOR THE
CHINESE PEOPLE LIKE THEY DID IN
UKRAINE, LIKE THEY DID IN CUBA
LIKE THEY HAVE DONE IN OTHER
AREAS WHERE PEOPLE WERE TRYING
TO GET THE MESSAGE OUT WHERE
THEY’RE TRYING TO FIGHT FOR
THEIR LIVES AND FIGHT FOR THEIR
FREEDOM.
THAT IS WHAT THE FUND IS THEREFORE.
PRESIDENT TRUMP DID A GOOD JOB
OF BOLSTERING THAT.
CONGRESSMAN MCCAUL AND I ASK
HAVE FURTHERED THIS AS HAS
SENATOR MENENDEZ AND WE NEED TO
OPEN THAT SPACE OVER CHINA SO
THESE PEOPLE HAVE A WAY TO
COMMUNICATE AND GET THEIR
MESSAGE OUT.
SPEED WAS AN INCREDIBLE APPLE
HAD TO RESPOND THAT THEY WANTED
TO TAKE TWITTER OFF THE APP
STORE AND THERE IS NO
CONVERSATION ABOUT TAKING TIKTOK OFF THE APP STORE.
OFF THE APP STORE.
NOW WE SEE AND DO REPORT THAT
CHINA USED TIKTOK TO GO AFTER
POLITICIANS AHEAD OF THE MIDTERM
ELECTIONS.
PROBABLY REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS
LAST MONTH.
FORBES IS REPORTING TIKTOK
ACCOUNTS RUN BY THE PROPAGANDA
ARM OF THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT
UNMASK MILLIONS OF FOLLOWERS AND
TENS OF MILLIONS OF USE OF VIDEOS MOSTLY CRITICIZING
VIDEOS MOSTLY CRITICIZING
REPUBLICANS WITH NO CLEAR LABELS
DISCLOSING THAT THEY WERE
ACTUALLY COMING FROM THE CHINESE
STATE CONTROLLED MEDIA.
THE CCP IS PLAYING THE UNITED
STATES ANYWAY IT WANTS.
IT GOT ITS GUY JOE BIDEN AND
THEIR AND NOW ONCE AGAIN, THERE
TRYING TO INTERFERE IN
ELECTIONS.
ELON MUSK SAID TWITTER HAS
INTERFERED IN ELECTIONS. >> YES I’M SO PLEASED ELON MUSK
>> YES I’M SO PLEASED ELON MUSK
IS GOING TO MAKE THESE FILES AND
E-MAILS AVAILABLE SO PEOPLE CAN
SEE THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION, THE BIDEN
CAMPAIGN, THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN,
THE DNC WERE WORKING WITH
TWITTER BECAUSE IF THEY WERE
DOING IT WITH TWITTER, FACEBOOK,
SNAPCHAT, TIKTOK, ALL THE REST
OF THEM.
IT HAS BEEN THE SAME PLATFORM.
WHEN IT COMES TO TIKTOK, BEAR IN
MIND THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY
IS A BIG SHAREHOLDER INVITE
DANCE WHICH OWNS TIKTOK.
THE PEOPLE THAT WORK FOR TIKTOK
IN THE U.S. GET A CHECK FROM
BYTEDANCE WHICH IS OWNED IN LARGE PART BY THE CHINESE
LARGE PART BY THE CHINESE
COMMUNIST PARTY.
THEY HAVE A GOAL.
IT IS TO TAKE DOWN THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA TO BE GLOBALLY
DOMINANT.
HOW DO THEY DO THAT, THEY NEED
TO HAVE PEOPLE IN POSITIONS OF
POWER THAT ARE GOING TO BE
FRIENDLY TO THE CHINESE
COMMUNIST PARTY AND NOT STAND UP
AND PROTECT THE PEOPLE OF CHINA
WHEN THEY PUSHED BACK AGAINST A
REPRESSIVE REGIME.
THIS IS ALL PART AND PARCEL OF
THEIR PLAN.
THEY ARE BUILDING PROFILES LOVE
EVERYBODY THAT IS ON TIKTOK.
THEY COLLECT THE DATA.
THEY HOUSE THE DATA.
THEY MANIPULATE THE DATA SO THEY
CAN MANIPULATE YOU.
THE BIG TECH PLATFORMS ARE
WORKING WITH THE DEMOCRAT PARTY
IN THE DEMOCRAT CAMPAIGNS TO
CONTROL WHAT YOU HEAR AND SEE
AND SAY AND THINK AND THEREBY
HOW YOU VOTE.
MARIA: I KNOW YOU’VE WORKED SO
MUCH ON BIG TECH.
SET IT A REAL QUICK BEFORE YOU
GO YOU SET ON SENATE ARMS
SERVICES. THERE IS A NEW STUDY FROM THE
THERE IS A NEW STUDY FROM THE
RONALD REAGAN INSTITUTE THAT
SAYS TRUST AND CONFIDENCE IN OUR
U.S. MILITARY INTERNATIONAL
DEFENSE IS SLIPPING.
HALF SAID WOKE PRACTICES ARE TO
BLAME OTHERS POINT TO BELITTLE
HIS NATION OF LEADERSHIP IN
FEWER AMERICAN SAY THEY’RE
WILLING TO SERVE.
ARE YOU CONCERNED THAT THE
MILITARY IS GETTING TOO WOKE TO
RECRUIT.
>> WE ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT
THIS.
WE ARE SEEING THE EFFECTS OF IT.
THIS YEAR THE NUMBER OF HIGH
SCHOOL SENIORS THAT ARE APPLYING
TO GO TO OUR MILITARY ACADEMY IS
LOWER THEN IT IS EVER BEEN.
THE NUMBER OF RECRUITS FOR THE
U.S. ARMY, LOWER, 15000 TROOPS
SHORT.
NEXT YEAR THEY’RE GOING TO BE
ANOTHER 21000 TROOPS SHORT AND
THE REASON, I’M FIGHTING THIS
RIDICULOUS VACCINE MANDATE IS
BECAUSE THEY ARE REMOVING PEOPLE
WHO HAVE CHOSEN TO SERVE IN THE
MILITARY, WHO HAVE RAISED THEIR
HAND, TAKEN AN OATH TO PROTECT
AND DEFEND AND THEY ARE SAYING
WELL IF YOU WANT TAKE THE SHOT
WE ARE GOING TO FIRE YOU.
EVEN THOUGH THE PANDEMIC IS OVER
AND IT’S NOT A VACCINE LIKE
MUMPS, MEASLES, RUBELLA,
SMALLPOX, TYPHOID, THOSE THINGS.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS GOING
TO BE A SEASONAL SHOT LIKE THE
