we do not give all we are saying is to break away from the chinese communist party. as a constitutional conservative, i don't want my government or big technology to give away my data my privates have free access. so why would we want and allow the chinese communist party to access our private information. china is america's enemy, and this law is a limited, concerted, and direct threat to american national security and data protection, and as a result, their first amendment rights . let's not pretend for a second that tiktok isn't violating our first amendment rights. i would say that this bill is, as the representative from texas said, about behavior. no spying, cover or protection. thanks to the information provided by the respected members of the business energy committee mr. president, from h. 75 21 of the people's protection law. i support america against the tools of foreign enemies. this plan ensures that the information of the american people is protected from the chinese communist party's access through byte dance, the parent company of tik tok , and why it

all we're saying is, break up with the chinese communist party. as a constitutional conservative, i don't want my government or big tech to have unfettered access to my private data. so why in the hell would we want and allow the chinese communist party to have access to our private data? the c.c.p. is an adversary of the united states and this legislation narrowly, thoughtfully and directly addresses the nationalcting americans' data and by extension their first amendment rights because let us not pretend for one second that tiktok is not infringing on our first amendment rights. i would say that this bill, as representative roy from texas said this bill is about conduct, not content. conduct, not content. and there is no restriction mentioned on content in this bill. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady's time has expired. mrs. cammack: but i will mention -- the speaker pro tempore: does the gentlelady from washington reserve? mrs. cammack: the espionage is not covered or protected as one of the -- the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady is no

that is when these softwares advertise for the benefit of the chinese communist party. we must return from the actions and negligence of the past and prevent the presence of the chinese communist party to buy our agricultural lands and their presence in pharmaceutical companies . we must confront them here , refuse to give them access to our american assets and data, and stop recruiting members for the chinese communist party. i have great respect for my colleagues' efforts to protect americans' data and share many of their concerns. however, with i am against this approach that could affect 170 million american users. a third of adults in america use this program , and millions of other entrepreneurs and small businesses use it to inform their families and behave differently. many of our colleagues can express concern about freedom of speech . but i want to emphasize that tik tok is a place for the free market and there is no guarantee in this plan that the disruption of this program will lead to the end of its operation. i am against this approach and vote against this

. i the chinese communist party. phasise this bill does — want to emphasise this bill does not ban tiktok, it simply would — does not ban tiktok, it simply would require the chinese communist party affiliated bytedance to sell tiktok in the best of— bytedance to sell tiktok in the best of their interest.- best of their interest. tiktok ura ed its best of their interest. tiktok urged its 150 _ best of their interest. tiktok urged its 150 million - best of their interest. tiktok urged its 150 million users . best of their interest. tiktoki urged its 150 million users in the us to lobby against the bill by calling on them to contact the members of congress. tiktok influences also processed against the bill outside of the white house, our correspondence was there to get the reaction. i am aware that i'm giving my dado, i'm aware, i'm giving my dado, i'm aware, i'm 0k i'm giving my dado, i'm aware, i'm ok with it, let me make a decision, you don't need to make up for me. to decision, you don't need to make up for me.— deci

and the intentions of the chinese communist party. let me explain■xe. tiktok is owned by bytedance. u have to do whatever the chinese communist party says you have to do. that's according to the national intelligence law passed in 2017. if they want you to spy for them, you will spy for them. that's how tt works. they have a board member from the chinese communist party on bytedance. you wouldn't allow a radioow mif washington, d.c., and then allow it to just put out chinese propaganda. you that's exactly what tiktok can be used for because millions of americans are addicted to it. they see it and the chinese cane algorithms. the first amendment does not give the chinese communist party the right to american data or the right to manipulate the minds of americans. that would be a really weird interpretation of the first amendment. primary counter arguo this bill seem to be as shallow as it does do everything i want and facebook is really mean. i don't want them to make money. that means you owe chinese access to all of our data and manipulate the minds of americans? i don't think s■gj

tiktok the dangerous place because at one point they are saying we are not controlled by the chinese communist party party will not let us divest from american interest, not only is there a spying problem in a pirating problem from tiktok but the chinese government basically controls one of the most influential cultural weapons that we have seen with the ability to influence a youth and that something that is completely legal in the us. >> laura: they should buy every media outlet out there. greg to see you, that is a first night, set your dvr's you stay connected with us, follow me on social media, jesse is next. [ ♪♪ ] >> jesse: a welcome to jesse watters primetime, tonight

i know senator schumer is very concerned about the threat posed by the chinese communist party. >> so, though, sandra, leader schumer has been noncommittal. he says he's going to look at the bill for now and also weigh a huge endorsement from senate intel chair mark warner and marco rubio. meantime, the tiktok ceo trying to influence the senate, putting out a statement that says this process was secret and the bill was jammed through for one reason, it's a ban. we are hopeful the senate will consider the facts. now there, is a potential stand-off brewing between the two chambers over ukraine aid. yesterday chris coons suggested the house show urgency and take up that bipartisan bill. i asked house democrats who just voted for the tiktok bill what they think about those comments. >> is there any concern they hold this bill hostage in the senator that bill in the house? >> i'll defer to senator schumer on this sort of -- i don't know. >> you wouldn't want to see that happen? >> i want us to vote on the national security supplemental now. i want us to go back into that building right now

one, will the data get to a foreign government, in this case, the chinese communist party? two, will the chinese communist party have an influence on at go rhythms? we can deal with both with a narrowly tailored law. second, let's ban any foreign interference in a social media app whether that's tiktok or another app, and by the way, those laws would cover data brokers which are selling data to chinese companies. this bill is not addressing the issue. 71% of americans want to protect data privacy. only 31% want a ban on tiktok. congress a, doesn't understand in my view, all of the social media and how it's working it's out of touch with what the american people want. >> martha: how do you do that? what does that all mean, and how does that work? we don't always know what's going over there or what's being taken. >> mar, that let me -- i think some of the facts would be helpful. so tiktok is owned by bytedance. bytedance is a chinese company. it has 60% international investors including kkr and general atlantic, three of the five board members are americans. they have data th
