>> JACKIE: A BRAND NEW
REPORT OUT REVEALS THAT AN
UNNAMED CHINA GOVERNMENT ENTITY
TRIED TO QUIETLY JOIN TIKTOK IN
ORDER TO SHARE PROPAGANDA WITH
USERS HERE IN THE UNITED STATES.
THE HEAD OF GOVERNMENT RELATIONS
WAS MADE AWARE OF THIS AS EARLY
AS 2020.
THIS LATEST CONTINUE CONTINUE VE
REIGNS LEADING EIGHT HOURS --
CONTROVERSY EIGHT HOURS NIGHTING
CALLS TO BAN THE APP.
PRESIDENT TRUMP WANTED TO BAN
TIKTOK ACROSS THE BOARD AND WE
CHAT IN THE COUNTRY AND
PRESIDENT BIDEN REVERSE THAT HAD
AND YOU’VE BEEN WORKING ON A
BILL THAT WILL BAN THE APP FROM
DEVICES ISSUED TO THE DEPARTMENT
OF HOME HAND SECURITY PERSONNEL
AND TELL US A BIT ABOUT THAT.
TIKTOK IS ALREADY PROHIBITED
FROM DEFENSE AND STATE
DEPARTMENT HARDWARE.
>> YEAH, AND IT SHOULD BE.
LET’S UNDERSTAND TWO VERY
IMPORTANT IMPORTANT ISSUES ABOUT
TIKTOK, THEY’RE ASSEMBLY AND
ACCUMULATING INFORMATION ABOUT
OUR PEOPLE, OUR SYSTEMS, ABOUT
OUR COUNTRY AS WE SPEAK.
THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY DOING THAT
AND THERE’S NO QUESTION ABOUT
IT, AND THAT’S WHY PRESIDENT
TRUMP WANTED THEM BANNED PERIOD
BECAUSE FRANKLY THAT’S NOBODY’S
BUSINESS AND WE DO DESERVE SOME
LEVEL OF INTEGRITY AND PRIVACY
IN OUR COUNTRY.
THEN THE SECOND THING ABOUT
TIKTOK IS THAT THEY’RE REPORTING
PROPAGANDA OUT.
PEOPLE ARE SEEING FROM, AGAIN,
THIS IS ALL BASICALLY FROM THE
COMMUNIST PARTY OR THOSE RELATED
OR CONNECTED TO THE COMMUNIST
PARTY ABOUT ALL TYPES OF
PROPAGANDA HOW WONDERFUL
EVERYTHING IS AND HOW RIGHT
EVERYTHING IS OVER THERE AND HOW
WELL EVERYTHING IS GOING.
AGAIN, INACCURATE, NOT TRUE, NOT
WHAT OUR PEOPLE SHOULD BE
HEARING.
THIS IS A REAL CONCERN FOR US
AND SOMETHING THAT PRESIDENT
TRUMP WAS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT
ABOUT AND WAS NOT AFRAID TO DO.
HERE’S WHAT IT ALL BOILS DOWN
TO, THE SAME STORY EVERY TIME.
WE HAVE A PRESIDENT AND WE HAVE
A MAJORITY PARTY THAT ARE AFRAID
OF EVERYBODY AROUND THE WORLD
AND THEY’RE AFRAID OF CHINA.
CHINA JUST RECENTLY THREATENED
AND SAID IF ANYBODY WENT TO
TAIWAN, THAT WAS A
CONGRESSPERSON, THEY WOULD
LITERALLY GO AFTER THEM IN THE
AIR.
NOW, I DON’T WANT NANCY PELOSI
GOING OVER THERE BECAUSE I THINK
SHE’S ABOUT THE WORST ADVERSARY
WE COULD HAVE BUT WHOEVER THE
PERSON IS THAT GOES OVER THERE,
THE FEDERAL PERSON, THEY SHOULD
HAVE THE RIGHT TO GO AT THE
VISIT AND TAKE LENIENT
INFORMATION FROM THERE AND NOT
BE THREATENED.
BUT WE’RE SCARED AND WE
SHOULDN’T BE SCARED.
THAT’S NOT THE AMERICA I KNOW. K
JACKIE: YOU BRING UP SUCH GREAT
POINTS AND WE’RE TALKING ABOUT
THIS STORY IN THE BACKDROP OF
THE LARGER CONVERSATION ABOUT
U.S. POLICY TOWARDS CHINA AND
PRESIDENT TRUMP TOOK A VERY HARD
LINE.
PRESIDENT BIDEN SAYS HE WILL BUT
HAVING SAID THAT, CHINA SEEMS TO
BE GETTING MORE AND MORE
AGGRESSIVE AND I WANT TO REMIND
THE VIEWERS THAT BITE DANCE IS
THE PARENT COMPANY OF TIKTOK AND
TIKTOK HAS COME OUT AND SAID NO,
NO, WE’RE SEPARATE FROM BITE
DANCE AND THE DATA IS SEPARATE
AND A CHINESE WALL IS PROTECTING
US.
THAT DOESN’T NECESSARILY SEEM TO
BE THE CASE.
A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE SKEPTICAL
OF THAT.
JOE ROW BEGAN ROGAN WAS TALKING
TIKTOK’S PRIVACY AND LISTEN TO
THIS, CONGRESSMAN.
>> THIS IS FROM TIKTOK’S PRIVACY
POLICY.
IT SAYS WE COLLECT CERTAIN
INFORMATION ABOUT THE DEVICE YOU
USE TO ACCESS THE PLATFORM SUCH
AS YOUR IP ADDRESS, USER REGION
SO ALL YOUR APPS AND FILE NAMES.
ALL THE THINGS YOU HAVE FILED
AWAY ON YOUR PHONE, THERE’S
ACCESS TO THAT.
THEY’RE MONITORING YOUR KEY
STROKES WHICH MEANS THEY KNOW
EVERY [ BLEEP ] THING YOU TYPE.
>> HOW DOES IT ENDS?
>> WITH CHINA HAVING ALL YOUR
DATA.
>> JACKIE: THIS IS CONCERNING TO
A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT IF THIS IS
WHAT’S HAPPENING THERE’S A
BREECH OF PRIVACY AND IT’S VERY
DANGEROUS AND IT’S A THREAT TO
NATIONAL SECURITY.
>> WITHOUT QUESTION.
CHINA HAS A LOT MORE INFORMATION
ON US GOVERNMENTALLY.
AS FAR AS BUSINESS,
COMMERCIALLY, AND AS FAR AS
PERSONALLY, THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE
IN OUR COUNTRY, IT’S
UNACCEPTABLE.
THIS PRESIDENT IS AFRAID QUITE
FRANKLY BECAUSE I THINK HE AND
HIS SON HUNTER HAVE HAD A
RELATIONSHIP WITH COMMUNIST
CHINA OVER MANY DIFFERENT
FINANCIAL ISSUES, AND HE’S
AFRAID TO MOVE FORWARD AND DO
WHAT’S RIGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY.
THAT’S SCARY AND THAT SHOULD BE
SOMETHING THAT’S OF CONCERN TO
ALL AMERICANS.
>> JACKIE: YEAH, OBVIOUSLY
THAT’S IS A STORY THAT WE’VE
COVERED EXTENSIVELY.
LIZ MCDONALD COVERED EXTENSIVELY
ON THIS PROGRAM, AND IT’S
SOMETHING THAT WE CONTINUE TO
BRING UP BECAUSE THOSE TIES
ESSENTIALLY REALLY NEED TO BE
INVESTIGATED.
CONGRESSMAN, WONDERFUL TO SEE
YOU TONIGHT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR
