[laughter] and you can see this with the chinese communist party. there is a tremendous opportunity for us to use the clarity from the berlin speech to communicate much more effectively with the chinese communist party. the best means to do so is to bypass the great firewall. >> everybody should read all three essays that reagan center differences not about weapons that liberty is an important reminder to differentiate the soviet union from the west these are supposed and has been neglected by recent us administrations us negotiators have been quick whether russia or iran and the obama administration with the attempts to do so under the trump administration with north korea. the overall point is that their recent administrations have placed too much emphasis on diplomatic cooperation and too little time clarity. do i have that right quick. >> yes. especially with nuclear weapons involved, there is a need to negotiate even with authoritarians. we cannot help and aspire to a quick regime change but there's obviously the way they did it even speaking to

what you're seeing really is a chinese communist party that is much, much more aggressive, fareed. plomacy, the economic implosion aimed at australia. technology is one thing but i don't know if the chinese communist party on the other end is listening. i think they also have a perception these days, fareed, that we're weak. they've been watching the traumas we've gone through, pandemic, recession associated with the pandemic, the socialism laid bare by george floyd's murder. the vitriolic accomplishments that resulted in an assault on the capitol. they're also looking at our defense budget. our defense budget isn't doing enough, fareed, to make up for what's been a bowed wave of deferred modernization to answer some of the asymmetric capabilities that the chinese communist party, people's liberation army developed. they've increased their defense spending 400% since 1995. so i think it's really important for the united states, japan, australia and we saw the aukus agreement between australia, the uk and the united states. these are all positive developments. but i'll tell you, fare

maria: will mean, he's taking this out of the chinese communist party and their kids are beating thes well as look at feta ask if there is a real threat to the parents pretty fully actually be arrested. this take a break and talk about this take a break and talk about this when we come back. your qbs increased spin rate, any pass with a launch angle of at least 43 degrees puts sanchez in the endzone. you a data analyst or something? an investor in invesco qqq. a fund that gives you access to nasdaq-100 innovations like ai statistical analysis software. how am i gonna do? become an agent of innovation with invesco qqq. ♪♪ maria: welcome back, we are with candace come the host of candace and where is this going in terms of this overreach from the department of justice. you have been so brave and a cultural warrior on all of this and you told this was happening a long time ago and where is this going. guest: for enforcing scary, you look at children's future, they are the peterson government that wants to maintain itself in this march of government and that they can have your children a

this administration is willing to apiece the chinese communist party for anything for a phoney promise. they won't live up to their commitment on energy. they won't do it. in the trump administration we reduced total carbon output. the chinese communist party decreased their carbon output. >> laura: is the biden administration so desperate for a deal with china they don't have any concern about genocide? this is what the natural security boy wonder said today. >> john kerry noted his chinese counterpart cease a contradiction and the united states is pushing them to reduce carbon emissions and at the same time the united states is sanctioning solar panel production. >> there is no reason that the united states or any other country should be forced to choose between these two. >> laura: how is that acceptable? ignore human rights? or china cares about human rights if we cave on climate? >> the chinese government didn't give a rip about humans. they exported the coronavirus to italy. america will sacrifice its economy and good jobs. you should do that too. this is a fool's errand. secreta

well, once again, if you look at the chinese communist party, they study of the art of war really well. they like to divide and conquer and essentially keep a unified front from ever happening. the only way they can get things done is to really make different countries or different entities approach things as a, as a, as a solo entity, as a lone wolf, on that ben transpires into a slaughtered lamb scenario. so if you're india, you want to get together with, for instance, the quad, which is australia and japan in the united states, and then try to pile on some more allies in that mix. now keep in mind, india has an interesting problem right now where their resource scarce, when it comes to coal, guess who has a lot of coal, australia, guess who has a very tough relationship right now with china, australia. so right there you have a very strong bond on a trade that's very necessary by india and something that's going to bond to members of the quad closer than ever. well, obviously it always comes down to money or power. unfortunately, when it comes to these sorts of things, and they kind

i want to discuss the broader issue here which is the control the chinese communist party has over tiktok. it parentpa company and sister companies like beijing technologies. tik tok repeated the it doesn't shared data collection from americans with the chinese communist party and it wouldn't do so if asked. it's also stated that with regards to data collected from american, that data stored in virginia with a backup in singapore but these denials may be misleading. a quick look at tik tok's privacy policy, just last night shows a lot more than meets the eye's. for example, in the how we share your information section, one blurb reads, we may share all of the information we collect with a parent, subsidiary or other affiliate of our corporate group. interesting, june of this year, the privacy policy was updated to state that tik tok may collect biometric identifiers and biometric information definedan under u.s. laws such s base prints and voice prints. does tik tok consider parent company of tik tok, headquartered in beijing to be part of tik tok's corporate group as the term is used

the chinese communist party has moved to violate binding agreements and norms to submit its control over hong kong and silence anyone chinese or foreign who speaks up in opposition. the u.s. hong kong policy act of 1992 is specific in its commitment to treating hong kong as a separate entity from mainland china as long as it remains sufficiently autonomous. the prc has violated hong kong and its institutions by every conceivable measure and the trump administration rightfully ended its agreements in 2020. as a government and country, we cannot turn a blind eye to what is happening to the people of hong kong. i am proud to be a cosponsor of legislation that will strengthen our government's approach to the hong kong peoples's freedom and choice act and provide refugee to those through the harbor act. we must be more proactive as congress in enacting forward-looking legislation to ensure the situation in hong kong does not deteriorate further and provide tools for a government that allows us to build significant deterrence beyond sanctions that will force the prc to think twice before viola

they greenlighted the chinese communist party to take america in exchange for something that the chinesey, this is what iran does, this is what russians do. now the united states said that's okay, take a couple of hostages, we will cut a deal for someone who violated u.s. laws, violated the iranian -- they are certainly to get a spy, the right way to get the person freed, release or not prosecuted will be to take someone, an american, european or someone that we value as a hostage. this is a very dangerous situation and the fact that we are permitting espionage to take place in the united states and not prosecuting vigorously is deeply troubling to me. maria: it's deeply troubling for sure. can you tell us how the ccp has abused our visa programs? isn't that one of the issues? i remember talking about this over the years. we have student visa programs and we have the schwartsmann scholars, sending people in to get inside some of our most important institutions to ensure that they can spy and get information back to the ccp so that they can steal it? >> maria, in the normal years of 360,0

and then also we rely on the chinese communist party to buy our debt bonds. ically we are completely vulnerable right now to the chinese communist party. that's what we need to concentrate on. jill. >> will: if saber rattling is juiced to distract from the problems china has. how long before it takes more? if that chinese economy crashes what do they do? do they fly over taiwan invade taiwan do something that requires a response to us and as such drag us into a war? >> that's exactly right. we know we are weak. they saw how joe biden handled afghanistan and pretty much his entire foreign policy portfolio. they will make a maneuver towards taiwan to see what we will could. we need to project strength and fight them on the economic battlefield because our elites are so compromised with the chinese communist party. they refuse to let us fight on the economic battlefield. we have to go into ontime footing manufacturing use tariffs like president trump was doing and get out of this habit of just printing more money and making ourselves vulnerable to them stopping f

i look forward to seeing videos that are negative against the chinese communist party. not really holding my breath but maybe it's true. maybe they're fine with videos criticizing xi jinping and other members of the communist party. so you're saying that's fine and acceptable policy for tiktok users? >> yes, and just to be clear, there's not involvement from the chinese communist party in tiktok moderation and it's all done in the united states. >> thank you. >> thank you, mr. sullivan, and i will -- we are going to continue looking at these issues on the chinese communist party teats influence into u.s. technology and into the silencing and sense urining of free speech of u.s. citizens online. >> great, it's very important, i appreciate that. senator, you are recognizeeds. >> thank you. i will start directly with questions and if i have time left, i would like to read a statement into the record. i will start with a question for ms. miller. youtube has implemented several features, such as auto play, that make the platform difficult to stop using. what mechanisms has yo

technology, you outlined the kind of concerns that huawei and companies that are controlled by the chinese communist party administration has done on national security lately, this makes very little sense. it's harmful to our national security and also chinese drone technology is not as good as u.s. drone technology so it's hard to make sense out of what's doing this, other than it is consistent with the biden administration taking a softer approach, trying to promote a false narrative that somehow china is a competitor, not an adversary and you would think that the lessons learned from covid would treat -- would teach everyone that china's not to be trusted and that moves like this are harmful to our national security posture. maria: this morning i saw a report, illegal aliens from china hit with federal charges for you allegedly setting fire to historic alabama church. all of that work that your administration did in terms of confronting the china threat, there's a list of indictments that we have here and this is only a handful of them from 2020, the list is long. in terms of the crackdown on chinese e

if it implied the ascendancy of the sentry of china simply because of how we know the chinese communist party treats its own citizen. we know how it abrogated its promises in terms of treaties and promises to place like hong kong. when we know how it maintains a surveillance state that is unlike anything its ever been undone and, and the technology is only allowing that surveillance day to be even more ubiquitous and more controlling the way it's treating the various ethnicities. the movers in particular, you know, establishing shamelessly i would only be described as concentration camps as a, engaging and active beth, no side against their own people. the ongoing shut down and locked down into bet. where, where people have no access to any information. save that, which is on said them by the communist party. you know, this is a truly totalitarian state. where for lots of reasons, given its history, the people i have chosen stability as opposed to personal freedom. you know, perhaps the freedom to acquire money. but at the expense of any kind of personal freedom in terms of politics or even t

so if china is ascendant as presently configured with the complete control of the chinese communist party, i think that it is something that is not a world that i want to dwell on. you want to throw that in. the 2nd one was a combination of american military might and russian blood, which saved the world from darkness. where should we look for, for hope in this view century? well, i think, you know, my, my, my hope is that shine in particular. and then we'll be able to break out of the hammer hold of the chinese communist party without it inclined and a complete chaotic breakdown of the society. i don't know if that can happen or not, but i certainly that would be on the political scene. what you would, would, would hope for, i think the other, the other thing obviously is climate change. i mean, if you know, if, if we, if, and, you know, if and when we actually begin to understand alex the obvious, that we're, that we're living on, on a biological planet. i mean, this is one of the lessons of covey that i think kind of skip past us in a rather lamentable away. and at the same time, becau

that greatly embolden the chinese communist party president xi jinping, they know they do not know howa government and they also know the biden administration will put on politics above the safety of the american citizens so what does that make the average person feel like? what is there level of angst right now? kennedy: is like that guy in the casino who has had his in a vice and they just keep squeezing. >> thank you for the image. kennedy: you're very welcome, i'm an empathetic person and i feel taiwan's pain and i want it to stop. they should be recognized as an independent nation. china can eat and make freedom always prevail. so much. >> thank you for having me, have a wonderful evening. kennedy: pentagon vaccine deadline is approaching and thousands of troops remain unboxed. while uncle sam forced the warriors to get the job? hillary clinton said you will never be out of the game of politics. is anyone going to tell her? should we tell her? that's coming up. ♪♪ 's e time is running out. to get the covid vaccine and pentagon leadership are not stepping up. first deadline for the

propagated by the chinese, his party. -- chinese communist party.he ibm and holocaust book is a powerful, heavily footnoted book talking about how we could've stopped with a list of where jewish people were. it was because ibm had aided and abetted those atrocities being committed then, and that is what they are doing now. google and others are aiding and abetting that kind of terrible misdeed. we got a call about a hearing -- while the hearing was going on about complaints we were raising. you show me anywhere in the book where you can test the veracity of it. the complicity of u.s. corporations, and mr. chiu talks about a couple of them. mayer brown, a lawyer. we were asked to provide a specific service, on real estate , and talk about it. it was a terrible -- i mean, how does he look himself in the mirror. we talk about accounting firms, and there are so many others that have been callista -- complicit. we had a hearing on the limbic's recently. i chaired one of them. might -- might colleagues -- my colleagues. i talked to coca-cola about why the

we can expect some sort of announcement about a climate agreement with the chinese communist party thatd increasing coal production 50% up in inner mongolia. no agreement with the chinese communist party on climate change will be worth the paip it is printed on. it is a fantasy john kerry is thinking now. they want to force taiwan, stonewalling the inquiry into the origin of a pandemic and the administration is adopting and going back to a more cooperative approach. i don't understand it. >> bill: i want to get to the taliban. local chinese media was reporting that the wet market in a certain region of china have been closed 8 to 10 days prior to china talking about the covid pandemic. that would synchronize with a government that was trying to cover up potentially a lab issue or a lab leak issue to make sure they had an alibi that they could show to the world. keep an eye on that story. taliban nick price -- ned price, discussions were candid and professional with the taliban, he said, with the u.s. delegation reiterating the taliban would be judged on its actions not just its words. t

the record is the chinese communist party acquired a stake in bytedance in august and have a seat on the board. so let's talk about tiktok's privacy policy. it says you collect and keep a wide variety of information, including biometric data such as face prince, voice prints, geolocation information, browsing, and search history, not just on tiktok, but on other apps, and keystroke patterns and rhythms. why do you need this personal data? especially on our children which seems to be more than any other platform collects? >> senator, many outside researchers and experts that look at this have proven that tiktok collects less data than peers on the keystroke issues. >> outside researchers you are paying for? >> no, senator. >> you would submit that to outside independent researchers? what we are seeing with all of this biometric data and the keystroke patterns that you are exceeding that. so what do you do with this? are you creating a virtual you of the children on your site? >> senator, i don't know what you mean by virtual you. >> a virtual you is you and your presence online. like

the chinese communist party has moved to violate a binding international agreements and norms to cementits control chinese or foreign who speak up in opposition. the united states policy act of 1992 is specific in its commitment as a separate but so long as it remains sufficiently autonomous. it's by every conceivable measure and the trump administration ended its separate treatments in july of 2020. as a government and country, we cannot continue to turn a blind eye to what is happening to the people in hong kong and i would see them strengthen the approach and the freedom act and provide refugee. we must be more proactive this congress in an acting forward-looking legislation to ensure the situation doesn't deteriorate further and provide tools for the government that allows us p to build significant deterrence beyond sanctions that will force the prc to think twice before violating the status further while threatening our own citizens. thank you for having me and i will yield back. >> thank you so much. ir. will yield to steve at this point we cannot hear you. >> please proceed. your

i'd like to be clear to the chinese communist party what would occur, not just on the part of the united states, but of our allies and friends around the world whether they take kinetic action against the people of taiwan. and i think that specificity might be helpful in helping them calculate just exactly what the cost, and i'm talking about the diplomatic and economic cost might be, were they to take such effort. thank you, deputy secretary. appreciate your participation today. sen. menendez: senator cardin. sen. cardin: secretary mckeon, welcome. thank you, again, for your leadership at the state department. let me first follow up on a point that senator risch brought up in regards to afghanistan. and the procedures being used to help those that are vulnerable in afghanistan, whether they are u.s. citizens, whether they're eligible for our special visas, or whether they are at risk because of the taliban government. i sent a letter to the state department about a week ago and asked for a response before this hearing, and i have not gotten one in regards to the apparent lack of transpa

>> this is a full on challenge from the chinese communist party, this isn't about stiff competition, this is about the intention of a communist party that wants to undermine our way of life in the united states pick of the most important thing you can do if you underestimate this or talk about this as a competition, they had a good day, we had a bad day, that's not what xi jinping -- we've seen this with the soviet union before, we know how communism works. the obama administration completely ignore these hypersonic programs, we began to build out our capability and the capacity to defend against them. they need to build up coalitions much like we had built up in the quad with japan, and india, and australia to begin the shape of the west would respond to these new set of activities, those of the things the administration can do. friends, partners, pay economies around the world to push back against head of the way president trump and our team did for our four years in office. >> bret: you are one of the first people to speak out about at least the circumstantial evidence pointing to

why does the chinese communist party still seem to cast so much about taiwan? will cost you don't for chinese commerce, chinese commerce party. this is a part of the narrative of history that they have to taiwan is the last portion of last territories. it corresponded in hong kong. no, no. no, of course also has enormous wealth and enormous geostrategic locations sitting between japan and the philippines. exposed directly to the western pacific. taiwan has both historical residents for the, for the chinese communist party and geostrategic value. because i think she just been working by justification for why he is allowed to stay on for the 3rd term, perhaps in perpetuity and looking to continually mobilize domestic chinese sentiment to regard the outside world of track. so as to justify the see, see, please hold on our really needs to keep the nation are spun out on the notion that taiwan is worth sacrificing their freedom and their development for so the taiwan unification of the mainland to be accomplished during his time in office go there. interesting to get

today, tiktok's own privacy policies give them an out to share data with bytedance and the chinese communist party. yet most americans have absolutely no idea. that the chinese communist party is getting their information. the time has come where we must focus on what congress can do to secure american consumers personal data. -- secure american consumers' personal data. as a mother and a grandmother, i know this is doubly important when it comes to our children. as this hearing will show, we cannot afford to wait on that. thank you to the witnesses. we look forward to your cooperation. thank you, mr. chairman. sen. blumenthal: we have with us this morning ms. jennifer stout, vice president of global public policy at snapchat. the vice president of global policy, and prior to snapchat, she spent most of her career in government, working for then senator joe biden and at the u.s. department of state. mr. michael beckerman, vice president and head of public policy at america's tiktok. he joined tiktok in february of 2020 and leads their government relations. he was previously the founding president

and they're merging the global super power of the chinese communist party, the empire. that's there on the march. now. we're relatively weak in the west. well, i'm actually militarily, but when i think they pay close attention to that they target specifically. ringback to try to weaken the population of countries just to right to prepare the battlefield, to match the rat to create political strikes, to basically so mischief similarly as much as possible behind the scenes and indicated that the media entertainment, whenever they can do that, we can resolve in the unity of a country as well. so now they're at a point right now are they are relatively strong compared to the west. and it's a scary time. they basically came out and said that it's inevitable that they're going to go after taiwan. and the question is how will last respond? and that is, i think, a question that we're looking for answers for probably, hopefully, sooner rather than later. no, john, great to talk with you. thank you for your insight. thanks for having me. poland continues to fight back on a europe

untrusted telecommunication companies, such as the chinese communist party-backed huawei, are offered to -- able to offer low cost equipment due to the chinese government subsidizing them. due to congressional action, untrusted vendors can no longer provide telecommunications equipment in the u.s. in bills i supported such as secure and trusted communication networks act, and u.s.a. telecommunications act help remove untrusted equipment to secure our networks and promote competition. this bill further builds on our efforts to strengthen our supply chain and ensure untrusted equipment is kept out of the u.s. telecommunications networks. open ran net corks with -- networks can help increase competition. this technology is an open network infrastructure that can multiple components from multiple manufacturers. the open ran outreach act requires the national telecommunications and information administration to provide small and rural providers information on the opportunities and challenges of implementing open ran and compatible technology. if providers would like to use this technology,

be with regards to taiwan, one, because the people there who have enjoyed freedom from the chinese communist party, but also for our own interests particularly given that the great majority of the world's; doctors are manufactured in taiwan and this would be an attractive get for the chinese communist party. what is the what can the state department be doing to ensure china understand what the consequence, not talking military consequence but the consequence would be of them taking never to, a military effort to grab taiwan? >> this is not something i work on very often but i'm truly with the general contours of our taiwan policy which is grounded in that i relations act and our commitment to taiwan's self-defense in providing legitimate self-defense needs, those arms sales go through the state department approval process. politically it is a broader campaign we view directly with the chinese and other governments to make it clear that coercion by china by taiwan or the efforts to seek, to change the status quo by nonmilitary means will not be accepted by the united states and the international co

questions to explain why this happened at american taxpayer dollars going to this end the chinese communist party needs to be held accountable for the 3 million and rising deaths. >> francis collins is the outgoing nih director who has been there for many years. he's on his way out the door. pointing to something, very remote possibility on the origin of the original virus, watch. >> most likely this was natural origin starting in bats, maybe traveling to an intermediate host. i can't rule out the possibility that secretly the wuhan institute got the virus and were studying it. i have no evidence to support that. laura: no evidence, there is certainly circumstantial evidence, the chances of this not being a lab leak are infinitesimal at this point. according to the wall street journal piece that came out today. >> it would have been april of last year on sunday's show, pretty likely this is what took place. we knew less than we know today, we know more than the likelihood this came from a lab is increasingly clear. the chance that this was a couple penguins seems very remote. a bunch of folks who

recognize the state of israel or there would be war, he has been wrong about a lot, no chance the chinese communist party will reduce carbon emissions for the sake of appeasing american interests. these are ruthless genocidal leaders of the chinese congress party intends on maintaining power and watching america's weakness. >> it is so depressing, the china issue and the border are the two biggest issues facing america, china is our biggest adversary, we are losing sovereignty on the southern border. you sat across the table from president xi. is it not clear why he wants to only deal one on one with biden at this point given biden's performance and ability to converse, are you surprised about xi's desire to deal 1-on-1 with the president? >> it doesn't surprise me. he believes he will be sitting across the table from a leader will not defend america's interest to provide clear articulation of america being first and foremost, he sitting across from a leader who make better outcome for the chinese commonest party, the worst outcome of the chinese as well, not america's the security interest. so he can cu

the combination of laws and technology designed to isolate the realm of the chinese communist party fromutside influences. all kinds of things are different. china is bigger than the russians than the soviet union ever was. it has cash. all we ever bought from all the russians is wheat. the chinese as you well know my colleagues in northern california at the nhoover institution the chinese are invested in silicon valley up and down the peninsula so a lot of things are different. but your arguing that there's something natural to the relationship with china that's not that different from the relationship with the struggle, the conflict of the soviet union, is that correct ? >> you can see this in jamie and wills super essays. this is an ideological competition but it's also competition that requires a high degree of clarity so the phrase that comes to mind is like if i can paraphrase from reagan's speech is chairman g, tear down that firewall. we should do our best to get around it and this is what jamie does for us everyday. it's to try to reach a press peoples who are not permitted to a

possible censoring of conservative content and what data might be shared with the chinese communist partybig tech and the chinese communist party. it's of grave concern when you consider how much information these tech companies are collecting on us. think about our children in particular. it's clear that they know that they are preying on our children's vulnerabilities, especially young women. as a conservative, very concerned about their continued effort to silence constitutionally protected speech, political speech and silence conservatives or their platforms. we must hold big tech accountable and stop the censorship and protect our kids. >> the head of tik tok's public policy, michael beckerman addressed one of those questions a short time ago. here's what he said. >> we don't share information with the chinese government. our research shows there's no overt data transmission to the chinese government and our testing, tik tok did not contact any services in china. >> john: he says tik tok doesn't share any data with the chinese government. but there's a law in china that all they have

the chinese communist party leapfrogged us in terms of nuclear technology. god help us all. biden doing? you welcome the competition? you do not say that. you tell china stand down or you will regret this. or did he say stand down? no, because we welcome the competition. we do not welcome the chinese communist party with a hypersonic missile that can hit the american homeland and neutralize all our defenses. i do not welcome not. >> sean: with nuclear capabilities. okay. great job, joe. how does the intel people not know? senator, thank you. we appreciate you being with us. inside the deep states, christopher steele breaking his silence and trying to defend the clinton bought and paid for russian disinformation dossier. and even pushing russia hoax hysteria. and tonight here's when he told george stephanopoulos over big news abc about the ig report, the phony tape and discredited findings. >> they said it was word-of-mouth and hearsay. conversations over beers. it was just talk. >> if you have a confidential source and that confidential source is blown or uncovered, the conf
