mike gallagher welcome it is good to see you again. thank you for joining us this afternoon.ion to the wreckers study and how valuable is it to how we need to understand whether or not tiktok should be banned in the united states? >> it's incredibly valuable a cat think it was so unique about the initial and cri analysis that came out in august is they use the metrics that tiktok themselves had encouraged people to explore to defend themselves. compare content to content that appears on instagram for example. so and cri took that an apples to apples did a comparison and had extreme and ultimately is. there were no differences win it come to pop-culture content for example but with anything critical of the chinese communist party, extreme disparity started to emerge. tiktok predictably trash the initial analysis and said well that's peer review. they went back and gathered more data and subjected it to peer review so now we have a more fulsome, more rigourous study that's even more for tiktok. a proves what ultimately became the primary concern of democrats and republicans in

mike gallagher was on last hour there's no way to extend a in te law for 90 more days politically trumpws many of his supporters are on tiktok. tom cotton may not be but donald trump has a political problem on his hand and i don't eyes going to fix it. >> mike gallagher someone who wrote the law so he would know. very interesting for you are right tiktok did not have to go dark today. one of the reasons they did is that what young people to say what am i going to do with all my free time now? let me call my congressman drum up some support and see if things can really change. donald trump has been very honest why he wants to talk to be saved she said i did very well with young people. young people like tiktok i want to make them happy. that's a line of thinking white politicians make they do the you usually not that open about it. that does not get rid of the security concerns even there's a 50% share between the 9 sites in china. it's a chinese company that means that by law they have to report all of their data to the chinese communist party. at the 50/50 share goes away. >> the algor

. >> i would even point to the author of the law, former representative mike gallagher, who has put out -- his goal was never to eliminate tiktok, it was to allow americans to use it, but then to make it safe from chinese communist party interference. >> it was to have an american owner of it. >> right. so what we need between now and monday is to buy the president some time to evaluate those deals and if it goes dark, that's going to be obviously extremely problematic. so both can be true. we can have an app that americans can -- americans can enjoy, but at the same time that protects their data and protects them from outside influence and undue influence. and that's the time and space that the president is seeking and as a dealmaker, i think we all should be confident that he can craft that kind of a deal. >> have tiktok and bytedance told you that they're actually interested in selling? >> the president worked with -- spoke with president xi, again, very top down authoritarian system that -- >> you think he is the ultimate decider? >> -- and that agreed to work together on this. >> s

chair of the select china and from wisconsin congressman mike gallagher. to see you where we are at with tik tok next congress overwhelmingly voted to ban it, why the cold feet? >> tik tok is very popular particularly among young americans but that's precisely the risk. tik tok a dominant news platform for young americans allowing foremost geopolitical enemy to control the dominant news platform in america is self sabotage, suicide so all we are saying is the ownership structure has to change. we wrote the bill so the chinese communist party cannot control tik tok. it only pertains to something that happened in the last 270 days. the needs to be binding legal agreements enabling and execution of qualified divestiture but of course there's not because bite dance spent the last 270 days getting engaging in lobbying and not pursuing a deal and therefore 90 day extension option so let's adhere to the law and changed the structure and trump us the opportunity to strike such a deal and people can continue to use tik tok freed from tcp manipulation and espionage.

now, remember, congressman mike gallagher, he was then chair of the select committee on the ccp.e laid it all out in stark terms saying in 2023 the visitor to the panama canal might think they are in china. ports at both ends everywhere the canal are managed from companies from the people's republic of china while huawei dominates the country's telecom system. pretty important, don't you think? since 2018 panama has been a member of china's belt and road initiative as well and xi's plan to come to nate all global trade is part of this do we really want china dominating a canal that's central to our trade? if they take control of enough of pan marks could china ultimately use it as a station for its military? these are valid questions. again, each raising this issue is somehow unaffront to official washington. how dare you stand up for the united states? you are threatening the global order donald trump. if trump can make a deal for strategically important greenland? why wouldn't that be a good thing? >> we need greenland for national security purposes. i have been told that for a

i was writing congressman mike gallagher, but he has gone to the private sector. he has privatized himself. i am a big fan of the congressman. in it i say these high deficits are a national defense problem. these high deficits are going to create a national defense problem. cicero said, he had some quote like, unlimited finance is the sinew that drives war. that the u.s. ability to be able to leverage up during a conflict is -- the treasury was able to expand the deficit. stephen was talking about it earlier in terms of whether it is a covid crisis or war. u.s. treasury was able to save the country during the civil war by expanding the deficit, were able to save the economic well-being of the country during the great depression by spending, and were able to save the world during world war ii. we have to get this down or we have no room for maneuver. having said all that, it goes to 1.5 trillion mechanically if there are no interest rate decreases this year. i think, president trump with the right policy could create a reflexive self-reinforcing cycle on the downsi

. >> yeah, so mike gallagher has an op ed. he's a former congressman who was really focused on threats from china, wrote the bill in congress, and he's got this op ed and he and he mentions that there is this brief from trump now as a friend of the court trying to strike down this law, but he says that the brief does note that there still is a national security threat here. what do you think the court is going to do? >> so six three, supreme court six appointed by republicans, three appointed by democrats. and people tend to think of the supreme court as being reliable right, reliable left based on who appointed them. nothing creates stranger bedfellows in the history of the supreme court than free speech issues. you found antonin scalia, who was one of the most conservative justices, perhaps of all time, wrote of the flag burning decision with a dissent, i believe, from john paul stevens, one of the most liberal. so this is the kind of thing that i would, if there's any prediction i'll make, it's that it's not going to be a c

[video clip] president-elect trump: called for an appeal, they acknowledged what the judge said, found no penalty, there's no penalty, but we are going to appeal anyway at least psychologically because frankly it is a disgrace. it is a judge who should have been on the case. he's highly conflicted, and they called for an appeal. i read it, and i thought it was a fair decision actually, so i will do my little thing tomorrow. thick enough and with their political opponent. as you know, i'm under a gag order from a judge. this was a

mike: i want to put on the screen a comment from the california assembly republican leader, james gallagherevention and waiting to respond until after a disaster. we know it needs to be done, it's just a matter of providing the resources and mustering the political will to protect our communities. steve, are california democrats underfunding fire prevention? >> well, or james gallagher is exactly right. he's a great guy, good friend of mine. and here's what happened many sacramento this week. on the same day california democrats in the state legislature voted for trump-proofing california with taxpayer money and against fire-proofing california, the republicans in the state legislature put forward an amendment to the emergency package that's being prepared saying let's spend money fire-proofing the state, clearing brush, taking the vegetation away from power lines, undergrounding power lines, all these common sense things that many of us have been arguing for for years. and the democrats voted against it. it's unbelievable. mike: you've got a strong take on what's happening in your beloved
