a dictatorship that wants to stomp out all forms of opposition i think that i was outrage and really not surprised this is such an outlandish claim that somehow they have jurisdiction of an american citizen lobbying an american government is just completely out of line i think i'm not the only person who's out ritually up spoken to a number of congressional offices and i as i said from the very beginning when the law what if they're going to come after me they must love marched down to capitol hill and the rest speaker pelosi and senator rubio the senate and everybody in the white house because they too have been under this law and articles you know that it is using to charge people like me. a session and colluding with foreign powers and that i think is what they're both not understanding is that they're creating really a perception of how desperate and house they are global international influence and

pressure i think that this is what dictators do one day know that they have lost the hearts and minds of their people they go out and disqualify opposition leaders who they issue or and address before decisions and they delay any sort of democratic practices and process and elections because they want to saw what is in the production and i think that they might be able to lead us for a year but all of that are really doing is growing their movement and reinforcing the commitment all of us have that will once again be a free city one day. donald trump is vowing to use his presidential powers to ban the chinese owned social media platform to talk from the u.s. as early as saturday the u.s. government's what the data collected through the app could end up in the hands of china's government earlier it was reported trump was considering forcing tick tocks

china or give american users info they have said obviously that they're going to keep all that data outside of china that no tick-tock user's data goes to china. you know it's all about trust at this point and trust is pretty low pretty well on both sides of the u.s. china dispute you know in the u.s. i think it's very unclear what a ban would look like and what it would mean you know it's very hard to ban something that's popular among the youth it's just you know if your parents tell you not to do something it makes you want to do it more. but you know we'll see we'll see i think before we see it banned i think we might see fresher as we appears to be coming out today to celtic talk when you know that may well happen there is an investigation underway by the u.s. treasury department syfy is to look and see whether a 2017 deal that paved the way for tick-tock could be reversed 3 people including
