REPUBLICANS SAY THIS IS A
FEDERAL MATTER THAT SHOULD BE
BROUGHT TO THE DOJ.
>> Ashley: BICYCLE PRESIDENT
KAMALA HARRIS AND GHANA TODAY
ON A THREE NATION TOUR OF THE
CONTINENT WITH DEEPENING TIES AS
CHINESE INFLUENCES DOMINATING.
>> Todd: EDITOR OF RESTORING
MATTERS, THE BEST TITLE OF THE
DAY, JOINS US NOW, KAYLEE,
THANKS FOR BEING HERE.
I DON’T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE
OUTREACH TO AFRICA.
I THINK IT IS ACTUALLY A GOOD
IDEA.
AFRICA ISN’T UP AND COMING
CONTINENT THAT WE NEED TO PAY
ATTENTION TO BUT IS THIS TOO
LITTLE, TOO LATE TO COUNTERACT
WITH CHINA?
>> YOU ARE RIGHT, IT IS AN
IMPORTANT FOREIGN POLICY MISSION
BECAUSE OF CHINA’S INFLUENCE ON
THE AFRICAN CONTINENT.
IT TELLS YOU ALL YOU NEED TO
KNOW ABOUT THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION ACTUALLY CARES
ABOUT STRENGTHENING THESE TIES
THAT DEFENDANT KAMALA HARRIS TO
GO DO IT.
SECOND OF ALL, WE KNOW THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION DOESN’T ACTUALLY
TAKE THE CHINA THREAT SERIOUSLY.
THE PRESIDENT IS ON RECORD
MULTIPLE TIMES CALLING CHINA A
COMPETITOR RATHER THAN NAMING IT
AS AN ANNIVERSARY.
THE QUESTION IS WHETHER THIS
ADMINISTRATION HAS THE MORAL
CLARITY WITH THE THREAT AND TAKE
ACTION IF NECESSARY.
>> Ashley: THERE IS A BIG PUSH
THEM FIRST FOR SECRETARY OF
STATE AND THEN FIRST LADY
JOE BIDEN THAT NOW KAMALA HARRIS
SAID HE WOULD GO LATER THIS YEAR
BUT IS THERE ANYTHING
KAMALA HARRIS CAN SAY THAT WILL
MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
>> I THINK THAT THE BEST THING
THAT KABBALAH TO DO IS TO NOT
SAY ANYTHING AT ALL.
THE MORE SHE GETS OUT IN FRONT
OF THE CAMERA, THE WORST THINGS
FOR THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION.
MAYBE THEY KNOW THAT AND THIS
HAS WAY TO GET DOLL BILL MIKE
DUMPED OFF AT THE 2024 TICKET.
>> Todd: MY THING IS FOCUSED,
WHAT SHE WILL BE FOCUSED ON
DURING THIS TRIP AND WHAT WILL
SHE WITH REGARD TO
COUNTERACTING?
IF SHE IS OUT THERE FOCUSED ON
ESG, ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIAL
GOVERNMENT STUFF.
>> RIGHT, THAT IS THE PROBLEM
HERE OF THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION’S AGENDA SO
FOCUSED ON CULTURALLY PUSHING
OUR VALUES ON TO OTHER NATIONS.
THOSE VALUES OFTEN DO NOT ALIGN
CULTURALLY.
SO WHETHER THIS IS GOING TO BE
ANOTHER SORT OF DE FACTO PUSHING
LGBT AGENDA ON COUNTRIES THAT
DON’T WANT ANY OF THAT OR
WHETHER IT IS GOING TO BE
STRENGTHENING DIPLOMATIC TIES
WITH THE GOAL OF COUNTERING
CHINA ESPECIALLY CHINA’S
ECONOMIC DOMINANCE IN THAT
REGION, THAT IS THE BIG QUESTION
FOR THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION.
>> Ashley: CHINA RANKS NUMBER
NUMBER 1 GIVING $50 BILLION MORE
THAN THE U.S. AND RANKS THE U.S.
AT NUMBER THREE WITH
INVESTMENTS.
DO YOU THINK THIS WILL COME DOWN
TO MONEY?
WILL WE SHELL OUT $50 BILLION AT
THE END OF THIS?
>> WE MIGHT BE.
BUT MY CONCERN IS WELL IT IS
IMPORTANT TO COUNTER CHINA’S
REFERENCE, IT IS TO ENCOUNTER
MIGHT COUNTER IN OUR OWN
COUNTRY.
JANET IS INVESTING BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS INTO U.S. FARMLAND IN
U.S. INFRASTRUCTURE.
THE QUESTION IS WHY WE ARE
ALLOWING CHINA TO DO THAT AND
WHY NOT ON OUR OWN SOIL?
THESE ARE POLICIES THAT GO
HAND-IN-HAND AND YET THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION DOES NOT SEEM TO
TAKE THEM SERIOUSLY.
>> Todd: BESIDES THE NCAA
TOURNAMENT NO ONE HAD WORSE WEEK
THEN TIKTOK APPARENTLY.
BIPARTISAN SECURITY CONCERNS
OVER THE APP.
LISTEN.
>> BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE
STANDING TOGETHER SAYING THIS IS
A THREAT TO OUR CHILDREN AND WE
NEED TO STOP IT.
WE HAD 150 AMERICANS ON TIKTOK,
AVERAGE OF 90 MINUTES A DAY AND
HOW THAT CHANNEL COULD BE USED
FOR PROPAGANDA PURPOSES OR
DISINFORMATION ADVOCATED BY THE
COMMERCE PARTY.
>> WHAT THE HEARING MADE CLEAR
TO ME AS TIKTOK SHOULD BE BANNED
BANNED.
>> Todd: LITERALLY ALMOST
EVERYONE AND CONGRESS IS DONE
WITH TIKTOK.
WE WILL GET TO IT IN A SECOND
THE PERSON NOT NECESSARILY DONE
WITH IT.
WHEN YOU HEAR SENTIMENT LIKE
THAT, DO YOU THINK TIKTOK IS
DEAD IN THE WATER?
>> I THINK THAT CONGRESS IS
CERTAINLY MOVING TOWARDS A
BIPARTISAN CONSENSUS THAT TIKTOK
CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO OPERATE AS
IT CURRENTLY IS.
WITH THAT THEY GO WITH A FULL
FORCE BAN ON THE APP IS A LITTLE
BIT UNCLEAR.
WHAT LIKELY IS A FORCE TO FORCED
TIKTOK TO SELL TO A U.S.-BASED
COMPANY INSTEAD OF CONTINUING TO
OPERATE UNDER THE CURRENT PARENT
COMPANY, WHICH IS BITE DANCE.
ENOUGH SUPPORT TO MOVE LIKE
THAT.
>> Ashley: FOLLOWING UP WHAT
TODD SAID IN THE MEANTIME
CONGRESSWOMAN ECK IN SUPPORT OF
THE APP.
LISTEN TO THIS.
>> HEY YOU, EVERYONE THIS IS AOC
AOC, AND THIS IS MY FIRST
TIKTOK.
DO I BELIEVE TIKTOK SHOULD BE
BANNED, NO, I THINK HOW
UNPRECEDENTED OF A MOVE THIS
WOULD BE HERE WITH THE
UNITED STATES HAS NEVER BEEN A
SOCIAL MEDIA FROM OPERATING IN
THEIR BORDERS.
>> SHE SAYS BIG TECH, THEY
ALREADY HAVE OUR DATA SO WHAT IS
THE DIFFERENCE THEN THE CCP?
CAN YOU IMAGINE MAKING THAT
COMPARISON?
>> .
THERE ARE ONLY TWO DEMOGRAPHICS
NOTORIOUSLY SEE THE LONG-TERM
CONSEQUENCES AND DEMOCRATIC
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS AND
CONVENIENTLY THE ONLY TWO
DEMOGRAPHICS WHO OPPOSE BANNING
TICK-TOCK [BOOS]
TIKTOK SO THERE ARE A HOST OF
REASONS WHY TIKTOK SHOULD NOT BE
ALLOWED TO OPERATE UNDER THE
PARENT COMPANY AND THE DATA
PRIVACY VIOLATION AND THE SPYING
ON U.S. JOURNALISTS, THE MENTAL
HEALTH EFFECTS AND ALGORITHMS
THAT PUSH TEENAGERS TO VIOLENT
PROPAGANDA.
ALL REASONS WHY LAWMAKERS HAVE
TO TAKE THIS SERIOUS.
AND A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE AOC OR
NOT.
>> Todd: THIS IS
UNPRECEDENTED.
YOU KNOW WHAT COMMIT IS NOT
UNPRECEDENTED TO BAN SPIES FROM
INFILTRATING OUR COUNTRY.
THAT HAS BEEN LITERALLY DONE
SINCE THE FOUNDING OF OUR
NATION.
AND A REVIEW LIKE THAT, NOT A
FUN ACT FOR 13-YEAR-OLD GIRL TO
