there is also on a serious note there is a free speech versus national security and i agree one 100% with president trump he needs to deferred this to his administration because i think for free speech advocates i myself this is a monumental case and if he allows tiktok which i think you should i think we need to get to the bottom of water the chinese doing with the data and if we can't get to the bottom it's good to become problematic. ashley: i have 30 seconds i want to talk about the crypto could ethereum become the next bitcoin, what do you say. >> i said before, bitcoin is digital gold. ethereum is digital silver. ethereum now that a lot of the institutions are bracing ethereum as the number two encryptor currency i think we will see ethereum get momentum because under perform had a good year last year but compared to bitcoin and underperform just sickly. we're going to have a good year for it. ashley: very good yet so much in a short amount of time we always appreciate you on the show. thank you so much let's bring in lauren simonetti you looking at movers today and most of them

. >> part of my dilemma at the national constitution center you have a right to free speech what is that mean? what the national constitution center does is it will have on a line and essay written by a scholar of the constitution. here is where everyone agrees about this amendment the right to free speech. and then they might have two other scholars who say here is where people disagree on the mmn's for their active disputes about what all of these rights, or the boundaries are we all agree in the court set of rights each would really does protect. it's a really cool feature of the national constitution centers this is what we agree on about these rights and here are amendments. >> absolutely. it models the civics instabilities that your homework for constitutional day and is not just competition dates for your whole life. be a lifelong learner about the constitution because the interactive constitution. pick a provision you want to learn more about but look at the arguments on both sides and make up your own mind. or about to launch in an hour a new constitution course of the national

i know, national security versus free speech, grady trimble you'll keep us posted. so much happy new year. >> you too. lauren: the election result and trump's upcoming inauguration have many people asking the question, did everything just change? joining me now with her take, the co-ceo and senior portfolio manager at essex investment management. nancy good to see you. did everything just change? >> we think it did change. i mean, we certainly think that although the economy was already in a good position and the fed was already lowering interest rates that the prospect of a government that is much more friendly to business where regulations will be caught and animal spirits are clearly rising, set the stage for what could be both an unusually strong earnings year and therefore, an unusually strong results year across many market segments. lauren: nancy, game it out for us. which sectors do you see doing the best under the incoming president? >> so we are very very bullish on the industrial sector broadly. it's a big sector of the economy. it's a direct beneficiary

it has nothing to do with free speech, everything to do with national security. when you read that appellate court ruling, i can't imagine that the supreme court would flip that ruling. and i think that president trump and his team this time got tiktok, let's say, to play more fair in the election. and i think that is weighing on the thought processes. >> how do you see that playing out in terms of a realistic rollout given how many users there are here in the united states, how many small businesses make their profits on tiktok? >> i mean, again, this is a false equivalency. the court ruling happened almost a year ago. and they told tiktok usa, so when you think about tiktok globally, they do about $36 billion in revenue. tiktok usa does about $12 billion in revenue. tiktok usa, i hear there are bids out there as high as $50 billion or more for it. so the u.s. court system has said, sell it to a u.s. company for the highest bid. or it's going to be turned off. so if your decision tree matrix was take $50 billion or more or take zero, the only tell in your decisi

so basically it comes to threat the national security versus free speech. it looks at the conduct of the platform, not the content on the platform. that's what's so critical here. ashley: ah. >> and the conduct is very important because of what it does. you have an australian cybersecurity firm that says tiktok as a digital platform only exists to collect information. we're talking about an app that collects the key stroke rhythms, how you actually type in the keyboard, how you hold your phone, etc., your most, your contacts. i mean, we understand that other apps like facebook and digital platforms do similar things but not to this degree. the amount of data exploitation and vulnerabilities especially as laid are out by the cybersecurity firm which says it's even worse than these, you know with, russian spy if apps designates this as chinese if communist party spyware. crazy. ashley: yeah. that's very disturbing, indeed. we're going to have to leave it there, kara, but thank you thank you so much for joining us today to talk about an issue that we're going

saying the americans who use the app will have their free speech suppressed if this app is put out of business. the appeals court said the nationality case against tiktok is really compelling, we are also worried about china, this law is valid. so tiktok appealed to the supreme court, and the supreme court looked at the appeals court decision and said this needs review. the supreme court sent an emergency hearing on a lightning fast deadline. so in a matter of weeks, the department of justice and lawyers for tiktok will be meeting in the supreme court to decide the fate of this app. ali: president-elect trump is getting involved with this letter. what is he asking for? bobby: it was a really stunning letter that surprised lots of legal observers across the political spectrum. basically, trump wrote a letter to the court, saying, hey supreme court, maybe you should hold off on your ruling and give me some time as president-elect to broker a deal that could result in the selling of tiktok. it is a pretty extraordinary request given that trump right now is president-elect, but he's filing this motion as a private citizen. he does no

the first amendment exists to protect free speech in the united states, here at the government acted solely to protect that freedom from a foreign adversary nationthe people of the united states. you may recall this dates back to donald trump's first time in office, he went into a lengthy battle with tiktok, often railed against it through the form of the idea of tariffs. ultimately, it was under presidentjoe biden that this ruling came into effect. essentially, it gave china's owner, bytedance, untiljanuary owner, bytedance, until january to owner, bytedance, untiljanuary to either sell the company or divest it and as things currently stand, that will go ahead, although we expect them to appeal to the supreme court. it is clearly one to watch, thanks for bringing us right up to date on that developing story. i'm back with more of the day's headlines here on the programme injust a moment the day's headlines here on the programme in just a moment or two, don't go away. hello there. there is a red winter warning from the met office, which means danger to life, winds will be gusting 90 mph through this part of wales and through the bristol channel

national security concerns are valid. i want to read to you a quote from one of the judges from this ruling. he said, the first amendment exists to protect free speech in the united states. here, the government acted solely to protect that freedom from a foreign adversary nation and to limit that adversary's ability to gather data on people in the united states. so as you can see, a pretty strong rebuttal of tiktok's argument there and upholding this argument that we've heard from lawmakers for years that tiktok's chinese parent company bytedance could pose national security concerns. >> so what would it mean for the app and the millions of people who use it? >> yeah, as you said, i mean, this is one step closer to tiktok, actually being banned. the deadline for the sale is january 19th, 2025, so we could see this app be banned in the united states states next month. if it is not sold off to a non-chinese owner. but this isn't just a done deal yet. the company does say it plans to appeal this ruling to the supreme court. i want to read to you something that the company sent to us, a company spokesperson said. the supreme court has established a hist

nations to legislate or to form some kind of guardrails. - i think that's right, but let's be clear. we believe in free speech. we're not trying to legislate away from free speech. quite the contrary. we believe in opinions. we believe in scrutiny. we believe in open access to media. but when you have a situation as we had in the uk this summer, where there was significant number of riots around towns in england because of a false claim on one social media platform that it was an asylum seeker who had caused the death of some children when it was not, he was not an asylum seeker. - x. - yeah. - he had no connection with the asylum process at all. but that triggered a significant amount of damage and injury across a significant number of communities. that is not free speech, that's just untrue. and so legislators need to work on how enforceable a new regime would be. and you know what, i think that the vast majority of people who consume social media would support that if it's done well, because nobody wants to be looking at their phone, not knowing whether they can trust what they're reading or not. but this i

with the government in this way around national security, that even though it is theoretical in nature, it is important enough to have come amid rights to free speech: so this is a very unusual case. the closest case involving a foreign propaganda in the united states is against 1960s involving literally chinese, is propaganda for -- chinese communist propaganda. the supreme court unanimously said in that case that americans have the right to receive chinese communist propaganda if they so want. there is not an ideal case. cases of a national security like the pentagon papers case where the u.s. government said it is too dangerous for "the new york times" to reveal the secret history of the vietnam war and the supreme court said, actually, no, we don't believe that, it iinting to. that is what the tiktok argument is going to be to the supreme court. caroline: do you think that its argument will carry weight if it gets to the level of the supreme court? anupam: if it goes to the supreme court, the same question is going to be before those judges as before the d.c. circuit, do you defer to the judgment of the political branches of congress and the pr

free speech. what�*s the argument for that? they argue that the government hasn�*t shown that there isn�*t an easier or less speech restrictive way to control the nationalher alternatives, better alternatives, that protects speech but can also protect national security at the same time. i guess the question would be, i mean, ouldn�*t users of tiktok simply go to a different app if they wanted to express their views, or make reels of videos, you can do that on several different social media apps, so why is this really restricting americans�* freedom of speech? yeah, one of the arguments is you can just move to, you know, you can leave twitter and go to bluesky, you can leave facebook and go to twitter etc, or x. but the reality is that every community is different. you may not be successful on a new platform. many of the tiktok creators who have filed a lawsuit in this case say, hey, we tried youtube, we tried facebook but we�*re just not as successful and we will lose our 10,000, 100,000 subscribers or followers if we move to a new platform, and we�*ll lose all that community that we have already built and we may or may not be able to recreate that comm

free speech. what president biden and earlier president trump had argued is that tiktok is a threat to national securityand issues pitting against one another. this this supreme court is going to start to have to weigh on. >> so yeah. so that's the part that a lot of people are going to be looking at because the biden administration say it's a national security issue, because the data collected by tiktok, which tiktok refutes, could go back to the chinese government. the parent company bytedance, located in china. tiktok, for its part, says, hey, the data is kept in servers and the chinese government doesn't have access to it. but that is the fear here. and then. tiktok, for its part, is arguing first amendment. how do they argue? first amendment to the supreme court in this case? do we have a clear picture of that yet? >> well, that seems to be more of a legal matter. but what i think about from a business perspective and a technology perspective, andre, is how do you split up an algorithm? i mean, how do you practically do this? because, you know, and we know that the algorithm is based on code and yo
