maria: i'm going to show the tiktok response.r us about tiktok. >> well, just this week fbi director chris wray testified in congress from the fbi's perspective they are concerned about the national security threat and this is significant for a couple of reasons. this is the first time that i'm aware of that anyone in the administration has gone on the record to express national security concerns about tiktok and the time asking significant because right now the treasury department is undergoing what is call a review of tiktok and a lot of people expect that review to be winding up the next couple of weeks. in fact, the new york times recently leaked that there's a preliminary deal in place with tiktok that according to new york times the number two with the doj, those familiar with those her thinking don't believer he's stuff enough with tiktok, with chris wray going public with the fbi's concern, i have a hard time how the biden administration can credibly wind down that review in a way that allows tiktok to keep operating. mar

tiktok has been negotiating with the u.s.ent, but critics, including the fcc commissioner this week, say that instead of negotiating, the united states should just ban the app all together. my next guest agrees. adonis hoffman a former legal advisor and chairman to the staff of the fcc. tiktok is mostly known for silly dances. why should the united states ban it? >> good morning, boris. thanks for having me. we have to keep this in context. right now there is a raging debate in congress, both houses of congress, as to how to regulate big tech companies like facebook, amazon, google, twitter, et cetera, and so those are u.s. companies with great capacity. so think about it. we're talking about regulating american companies and yet the notion of regulating a company owned by -- a chinese company which has strong ties to the chinese government is maybe not on the table. and i think that we've got to look at this as an external existential threat in terms of cyber, state-sponsored cybersecurity, state-sponsored cyber warfare. and

i am someone who doesn't have tiktok but has used tiktok.and knows that data can be used and might very well be in that. i know that when i get on instagram. it has become so engrained on how people get their information. it will be hard to undo that. >> the practicalities of tiktok. it is difficult to do. but, which one of these is not like the others? tiktok because it is owned by the ccp. and that offers a major potential not only for getting data information, american citizens but also for influencing the algorithm in a way that can communicate propaganda. there's problems all about dissemination of misinformation. god knows we need algorithm reform. the impulse to ban things usually backfires. >> let's quickly talk about twitter. elon musk, one of the things he is considering is charging people for blue checks. meaning their verified accounts. the issue is not do we mind paying $8 a month. well i do. it it is how do we know who is really who? >> this is not about status with a blue check. this is about the original idea is how can you v

tiktok is an enormous threat.e a parent and you have got a kid on tiktok, i would be very, very concerned. all of that child that your child is inputting and receiving is being stored somewhere in beijing. dan: morgan, i said on my radio show, i'm not a fan of banning things. but i think there have to be clearly some controls with tiktok. the relationship with the chinese communist party that even democrats ared a meriting trump may have been right on this. >> it's the issue of reciprocity. try finding facebook, and snapchat in chain a. you can't. it's like the police stations operating in the u.s. when will we draw a line? i get with you not banning stuff, but we have to put the reins around this. dan: that's an excellent point. trade deals aren't free unless they are free both ways. holiday kinds of buyer beware. the better business bureau is warning with online security risks ahead of cyber monday. how do you know that click you are click on to buy something for a friend is real. >> it sounds too good to be tru

government ban on tiktok.lain commissioner brendan carr is with us from taiwan. worth noting, by the way, the fcc doesn't have any authority to actually regulate tiktok, at least not directly commissioner carr, you were quoted as saying i don't believe there's a path forward for anything other than a ban. why? >> look, i started out open-minded here we've been seeing sinceat least this past summer bombshell revelations about how all this personal, sensitive data tiktok has been collecting has, in fact, been making its way back to beijing tiktok testified recently and said it could not address where ccp members are actually addressing it. all that said, i thought it was important that we let the national security review play out that treasury is running it's not run out of the fcc. but since then we've seen a number of shoes continue to drop ten days ago a report out from forbes that shows tiktok has been tracking or trying to track the location of u.s. entities, u.s. people. that's deeply concerning the same r

itself does not have any authority over tiktok cfius does and they are already in talks with tiktok toetermine if it can or should be divested to a u.s.-based company. tiktok telling us, quote, commissioner carr has no role in the confidential discussions with the u.s. government we are confident we are on a path to reaching an agreement with the u.s. government that will satisfy all reasonable national security concerns we have seen tiktok draw growing ad dollars, as well as users, away from its rivals it's been downloaded more than 200 million times in the u.s we've heard a lot about the threat that it poses to both snap and meta. meanwhile, shares of oracle are lower on this news and that's because tiktok routes u.s. traffic to oracle's cloud infrastructure oracle shares down more than 1%. >> remember when oracle was going to be part of the deal to ipo it it seems like a long time ago. >> while we're on the subject of social media, i have to ask you about twitter. elon musk did just announce that new pricing for twitter blue a lot of speculation about this. we got some news. >> yeah

we have seen tiktok adding users.n downloaded more than 200 million times in the u.s. and we have heard a lot about tiktok and the threat it has posed to the growth of snap and meta i also want to point out that shares of oracle are at session lows on this news, down about 2% tiktok currently routes its u.s. traffic to oracle cloud infrastructure brian? >> all right this commissioner, a guy named brendan karr he has been outspoken, sort of against tiktok for a long time so this may not be as new as we think, but i'm not sure we've heard maybe with the exception of the previous administration for calls of banning tiktok. and this has got to come from what all the national security concerns you're basically letting -- some would say you're letting a live mic and a camera that goes through servers in china into your home. >> also, keep in mind that we are a week ahead of the election and there's this question of how the algorithm and the content that is shown to users may be influenced by the ownership. of course, tiktok

carr that tiktok should be banned from the u.s., you know, ties back to negotiation that tiktok has beenr a possible deal that would allow tiktok to continue operating in the u.s. but in an interview today, carr told me that the more he reads about tiktok in public reporting, the less confident he is that tiktok will reach an agreement with the u.s. that will it won't try to try and get around or circumvent, somehow, which is why he's calling for an outright ban of the app now. it's important to point out here, that the fcc does not regulate tiktok or other social media companies. so in some respects, mr. carr is, you know, speaking out of his lane a little bit. but he's saying his experience on the fcc, dealing with other chinese businesses in the telecom space, and trying to block those companies from u.s. telecom networks has given him comborngts context in his terms of trying to prevent tiktok from operating in the united states. what is tiktok staying, in a statement they gave me, carr acknowledged that fcc in discussions, he appears to be discussing his personal views independent o

government related to tiktok, adding they are working on an agreement with the u.s. government that will satisfy all reasonable national security concerns in further comments to nbc, the company said it's working to secure u.s. data through this new agreement, pointing it the company will have to have tighter security controls than the competition. for the news, i'm stephanie gosk >>> winter is coming and so is money for the bills. that's what is topping krcnbc'so the money. the white house announced $4 billion will be available for home heating costs the funding is far less than the $8 billion delivered last year the agency that crunches energy numbers forecasts average gas, electric, and oil heating bill also be up double digits this winter >>> big turkeys this thanksgiving may be in short supply that warning from the agriculture secretary. the reason bird flu outbreaks that killed more than 8 million turkeys according to the cdc prices for smaller ones now aup 28% from this time last year >>> the state of ohio is suing dollar general the discount retailer accused

i made notes last week but it applies to crypto it applies to tiktok.n't want to kill the party. they -- it is something like, gambling or tiktok particular with kidies, they don't want to take candy away not really, you know so they turn backs, on regulation, and turn their backs on the risk and the danger of this of tiktok. to the united states. and our security here. that is exactly what they've done. maria: part is about money todd why do you think corporations don't want to say anything bad about ccp? they want to sell wares widgets to 1.4 billion people in china, i know, that is part of it. and, by the way, climate change agenda not betting on china following a acclimate change rules of joe biden's for sure the number one polluter out there. >> developing countries, for china they are developing that is the most ridiculous name i have ever heard to be used with regard to china but when i was thinking about this thinking this is so ridiculous that we allow chinese government to spy on our kids, and by extension of that all of us, through tiktok i s

i am someone who doesn't have tiktok but its use tiktok, goes on tiktok.at data can be used in might very well be in that be in the hands of other folks. i felt like that on instagram. i feel like i when i get on facebook. i know that on twitter. it is a real problem. and there might be a specific problem with this app, but i think it's become so ingrained and help people get their information, how people live their lives it's going to be very hard to undo that. >> the practicalities of banning tiktok, you know, that is something that you've got to be very thoughtful about, recognize that folks are gonna find ways around it it's, difficult to do. but which one of these is not like the others? tiktok because it's owned by the ccp. and that offers a major potential, not only for getting data information from american citizens, but also for influencing the algorithms and way that can communicate propaganda. so, that's something we need to do to be wide eyed about. there's troubles about this in a nation of misinformation. we need algorithm reform across the b

"the hill" ran a report, ashley, suggesting it is possible tiktok could have tipped the midterm elections because young people often go there and that is where get some news, right? so we're seeing more and more people, both sides of the aisle come out to say that president biden should ban tiktok here in the u.s. ashley: yes. even mr. warner agrees with the president. never thought i would see that. lauren, thank you very much. elon musk, by the way, restoring twitter accounts to some users who were formerly banned. former president trump is the very latest to get reinstated. susan li joins me

we may own bytedance, the mother company of tiktok but really tiktok is fine and clean.. the trump a administration warned about it. secretary of state pompeo said if you want china to spy on what you're doing, download the tiktok application and even senator warner from virginia, a democrat who doesn't republicans at all and certainly doesn't like president trump, he's come to say there's no way you can have a moderating influence on tiktok. tiktok needs to be banned in the united states. why? because china passed a law early on in the trump administration saying that any chinese citizen either in china or abroad was subject to a national security law that says that any time a chinese company or chinese government official or chinese intelligence comes to you and says we want this information, we want that, you have to and any chinese that says i don't feel that's right, you're guilty of he treason and p potentially could be executed. when the chinese say there's no issue, there's a huge issue and a tiktok needs to be banned in the u.s. mf maria: this is the only one pa

tiktok says this in a company statement: we store the all tiktok u.s.ata in the united states with backup redundancy in singapore. our data centers are located entirely outside of china, and none of our data is subject to chinese law. number one, is that a lie? is that -- are you calling them a liar? and if so, what can we do about it? >> yeah, those are false statements, shannon. there have been reports indicating that that data is accessible in mainland china. that tiktok, a chinese company, is subject to communist china's laws and that tiktok is one of the most massive surveillance programs ever, especially on america's young people. it's not just the contents you upload to tiktok, but all the data the on your phone and other apps, all your personal information. even facial imagery, even where your eyes are looking on your phone. that's why i've encouraged every american if they're using tiktok to delete it from if their phone and, if they can, to get a new phone altogether. shannon: saudi arabia, this week the biden administration got involved in a

they don't ship that version of tiktok to the rest of the world.e they recognize that technology is influencing kids' development and make their domestic version while they ship the opium version to the rest of the world. >> dana: it's easy to understand why there are growing calls to crack down on tiktok. it is controlled by china. some lawmakers want it banned in the u.s. calling it a major threat to national security. our next guest agrees. we had mike gallagher congressman from wisconsin a bit ago and he and senator rubio yesterday have introduced legislation or will be to ban particular tock. you agree. why do you agree we should ban tiktok. >> at the end of the day it's china's digital fentanyl. some people think it is a just a fun application for sharing funny videos. it is the sheep's clothing. it operates as a very sophisticated surveillance app. it is pulling everything from search and browsing history, key stroke patterns, bio metrics including face prints and voice prints. up to now we've been told it is stored in the u.s. or outside of

calls increase to ban tiktok in america in a letter to tiktok congressman james comer and kathy mcmars rogers writes this, quote, during the briefing, tiktok told staff that tiktok does not track users internet data while not using application and employees do not have access to u.s. users location specific data. both claims appear to be misleading at best and at worst down right false. r what's is tiktok and the communist party doing with data of all young americans? >> i think they are using it as artificial intelligence to get a larger strategic picture of what's happening in america not just individual users but larger con text of how young americans act and what their cultural preferences are and interactions with each other. this is really a powerful brainwashing instrument that china has designed and basically installed in young people's phones and computers and shape mindset in powerful ways. ly tell you something, maria, something that congress needs to look at, the new congress. but i think we are asking ourself it is wrong question. everybody understands that tiktok is a thr

tiktok could be that.think right now this is kind of a political statement in a lot of ways. >> a political statement because sounding tough on china and sounding tough on the ccp is something that gets you head waves within the republican party. other democrats are doing it as well. this is mark warner, the democratic chair of the intelligence committee. democrats will keep the senate so he'll remain chairman. he says it's a problem. >> i think donald trump was right. tiktok is an enormous threat. if you're a parent and you've got a kid on tiktok, i would be very, very concerned, all of that data your child is inputting and receiving is being stored somewhere in beijing. >> that's a democrat. this is mike gallagher, a republican house member, who is working with a republican senator. >> tiktok should be banned. senator marco rubio and i have legislation that does exactly that. tiktok is digital fentanyl, addicting our kids. it ultimately goes back to the chinese communist party. >> the fentanyl part. >> o

and is tiktok lying about its chinese connections and how it can tract your activity? ♪ >> trace: but, first, breaking tonight the biden administration is vowing to keep a close eye on twitter because of concerns about the spread of misinformation. that is raising eyebrows among many both in and out of government. elon musk frames his fight for twitter's independence as a battle for the future of civilization with references to free speech and tyranny. get the latest tonight from white house correspondent peter doocy. good evening. >> good evening, trace. officials here are stopping short of saying if they see something they really don't like they will try to shut twitter down. so, it's not entirely clear what exactly the white house wants elon musk to do but it is clear that the pressure from pennsylvania avenue is on. >> twitter is in the new. >> because former head of trust and safety admits wrongdoing when censoring the hunter biden laptop story. >> so it was a mistake? >> in my opinion, yes. >> this comes as elon musk says twitter has interfeared in elections. >>

also, white people shouldn't dance like that on tiktok.'m not saying you don't have to go on tiktok but that doesn't look good. and i'm surprised that stacey abrams doesn't have better rhythm. i really am. i felt like she was almost on the beat but didn't really have it. >> jeanine: you know what, jesse? she should have better rhythm because she's the one that wrote all those love stories. didn't she -- remember? those love stories she wrote. first of all, if you think that someone and i don't know what percentage of generation z that watches this stuff actually votes. that's number one. but number two is they're laughing at you! you're not with their generation. your moves are not their moves. i mean, it's just dumb. >> dana: jessica, see the point is this a good way to reach voters? >> jessica: we'll see what happens tomorrow. but turnout amongst gen-z's is up. i don't know if there's a line from having sign these tiktoks. i think it's fun actually when older people parody themselves, right? it's not as if betto thinks he's doing a fabul

so should tiktok really be banned there is a proposal for routing that data through u.s.o that wouldn't be an issue karen, you talked about this as being the outlier in terms of the catalyst that could really make a difference for meta. >> yes, i think it could i don't think it is a high probability, but it is getting higher we saw that fcc commissioner where it is not under their -- it is not under their authority, but to hear these voices, multiple ones come out, it's going up from no way in hell would that happen to, i don't know, to more than that. >> mike, what's your take? >> yeah. we're in an environment right now where i have a feeling the folks in washington will be more cautious than they might have been a couple of years ago it is just sort of the global state of affairs that we have here and, you know, i mean, there is obviously huge user demand for tiktok but i think that we should be concerned about these types of things you know, if we don't come to some accord where we on shore basically the technology, i'm in the camp that we should be doing something to

[laughter] there is so much going on in china, whether it's tiktok, the protests.e apple possibly limiting this drop box the protesters were using. what do you think? >> ainsley: even when you have that demonstration -- we start thinking that if they are stealing from us, spying on us, we have a problem. we can't let our guards down. we have to protect our country. same thing is happening in our border. we know that almost 100 people on the terrorist watch list were stopped on the border. how many more got through? we have to pay attention to china, what's happening at our border to keep us safe. >> >> emily: and in china, there's no such thing as a truly private company. by law, all citizens have to assist in intelligence gathering, which means sharing data. tiktok is monitoring 1 billion global users, including two-thirds of american children, to your point. what is alarming is that the rising number of adults are getting their news from tiktok, which means that that is shaping their perceptions come information. good on the governor who, unlike this administrati

connell: if anything, ashley, look at it tiktok has been a winner in all of this.e'll see how it plays out but there are a number of companies that paused ad spending on twitter when elon musk took over, and now, what we seen is some of them have started to shift those ad dollars and pick-up their spending in other places. the "wall street journal" points to instagram which is of course owned by meta but also tiktok, owned by the chinese company bite dance. now identifying these 11 companies which i'll put up on the screen you see the likes of american express, hilton, kellogg, many others these companies appear to be active on tiktok but not active right now on twitter. now to be clear when we say active we just mean posting on the platform, not necessarily spending on ads, but that twitter advertising exodus does roll on. the big auto brands, the likes of audi and chevy and cadillac, they've dialed back on their ad spending and they stopped tweeting as well. jeep sent us a statement in the meantime. jeep is saying, we're pausing paid advertising posts until we ha
