the chinese communist party is doing this on purpose. they are pushing this racist agenda with the intention of undermining our democratic values. if you look at what's happening at columbia university and other campuses across the country, they're winning. i want to talk about another example that means a lot -- to the folks back home where i represent in nebraska. we know that test. covid pandemic originated in china. instagram and tiktok currently have about the same number of users in the u.s. however, if you look at the content, there's a 400-1 ratio for the content that blames china compared to tiktok. instagram 400 number the times of posts. they have done this for tiananmen square which again on instagram there's 80 times the posts around tiananmen square than there is on tiktok. and on hong kong where there's 180 times the posts on hong kong's being censured or repressed citizens on tiktok. the federal government's job is to protect americans against foreign and domestic threats. tiktok is a major foreign threat. the bill we are

the chinese communist party figured out, not because the chinese-americans had tiktok but the journalistwere able to identify who the chinese-americans were did they gobbled up their family picked up their family living in china and imprison them and that families never even heard of again. that is oppression, tierney and let's not let the chinese communist party do that on thing with our. trey: there will be court challenges because there are always court challenges how do you evaluate claims of free speech with the right to protect citizens that you just laid out for malevolent actors. >> or federal government cannot regulate content and of course that's not what were doing. if you want to put junk food garbage in your brain from tiktok, that is fine i suspect i'll sell it to somebody else and you'll be able to mainline that garbage into your brain were not regulating content were regulating conduct which is permissible and always say this platform has to be managed and controlled by somebody other than one of our foreign adversaries. i suspect that will hold up to scrutiny. trey: befo

the leadership of the chinese communist party is the greatest advantage of the socialist system with ics. it is thanks to unwavering adherence and leadership. party of china, concentration, efforts on major tasks, effective organization of various undertakings and carrying out various works, we can successfully withstand a number of significant risks and challenges, overcome countless difficulties and obstacles, move forward confidently. on the right track. the communist party of china provides strong leadership and organizational guarantee for china's economic development. this is the first secret. the second secret is that socialist systems with chinese characteristics have significant advantages. u - socialist system. there are many advantages, there are approximately more than ten of them, but due to time constraints, i will now focus on only two points: first, commitment to the dominant position of the public ownership system, the joint development of the economy with diversity of ownership, and the distribution system. in which distribution according to labor plays a dominant ro

that are going up and and occupy -- and up, we need to start decoupling ourselves from the chinese communist partyngle company that is doing business or is a chinese company, you know, has to answer to the chinese communist party. and that is a threat to the united states. we know that china is the greatest existential threat to the united states and our security. stuart: so any and all coupling with a chinese company, you reject it, period. >> oh, yeah, i do. and i think we need to start, again, maybe putting some standards on how, you know with, companies start to decouple. i know we can't do it right away, but we need to start doing it. look, every single dollar that we send over to china is going to be used against america and american interests. so let's stop, you know, funding the instrument of our own doom. we need to get serious about it. and and, you know, for china says, you know, that a we're somehow stifle thing their development. they can develop away all they want, we just don't have to buy it and, frankly, we month be buying their stuff here in the united states because all of it is

doesn't know what they are talking about, as every company in china is controlled by the chinese communist party. they happen to control one of the world's best artificial intelligence -- artificial intelligence algorithms. it's the one that's used in this country, and it uses the data of americans to basically read your mind and predict what videos you want to see. the reason why tick-tock is so accessible is because it knows you better than you know yourself. the more you use it, the more it learns. the problem is that tiktok -- the algorithm that powers it is controlled by a company in china that must do whatever the chinese communist party tells it to do. the only way that that algorithm works is that company in china under the control of the chinese government is given access to that data that tiktok collects. tiktok does not work without that algorithm, and that algorithm is controlled by a company that is controlled by the chinese communist party under the law of china. in the case of putin, he also sees america as decadent and in decline, and he views russia as resilient. they view thems

so the chinese communist party sells the precursor drugs that fentanyl is processed from so those drugs supplied to the cartels and the chinese communist party not so much the party itself but the criminal gangs and essentially the chinese mafia launders the money for the cartels. so a lot of the money laundering operation used to be like a heavy commission coming across people that were taking risk doing it but the demand for currency in china outside of china's system is so great that they're eating all the bees so basically the cartels are getting money laundered for either free or single 2, 3% which is a small take. used to be like 20%. so the chinese communist party to the extent they can do something about controlling their criminal elements they can certainly be helpful. maria: it's not even just the drug trafficking, right? i mean, there's so much bad behavior where we're learning that the ccp is actually behind this new thing where people are running around punching women in the face as they're walking on the streets. that is -- that propaganda is comicoming from tiktok. you ha

what's worse, being spied on by the chinese communist party or by the fbi? how did you vote?re right, they're sweeping up americans in this too, and you get what i call this giant haystack of information. and it's real simple, if you're going to then query which i always say is a fancy word for search, if you're going to search this giant day database of information and use an american's name, phone number or e-mail address, you've got to get a warrant. we offered that amendment and it lost on a tie vote, 212-212 which is unfortunate. if that passes, then i think it's fine. we should have voted for it. it didn't pass, so i did not support that legislation because, remember, just putting more rules on the fbi, the same fbi that went after president trump and spied on his campaign in 2016, the same fbi that said parents are terrorists, that said if you're a pro-life catholic, you're an extremist and the same fbi who retaliated against whistleblowers who told us about what was going on, if you just put more rules and regulations on them, well, that's obviously not enough. you've

and we have to be very clear eyed in what we are dealing with in the chinese communist party. the leader you are seeing on the screen jinping declared by president trump, declared by mike pompeo in the last administration. as fbi director said yesterday, they are hacking us on a daily basis. our businesses, our infrastructure, we may not think that we are at war with china, but in space, in cyberspace, and so many ways china has already decided that they are at war with us. they are the ones decoupling with us. meanwhile you have american ceos and investment heads spending time you know giving xi jinping stand ovations and clapping for him when he is in the united states or taking business delegations over there. we have to recognize the threat that the chinese communist party is not only to taiwan where i am sitting right now, but what it is to the united states as i totally agree with the fbi director that this is the defining issues of our generation. president biden needs to speak with the same moral clarity. >> brian: right. >> that president reagan had during the cold wa
