soviet spies in the government soviet spies in military, especially during world two, when the us was allied with the soviet. now mccarthy was saying in saying and and in addition they're still here. they' domining the government the secretary of the state and the secreta defen are their tools. are. all right. any questions about communism in the government. are all right. okay. let me nowurn to the las segment of america where there was a great fear the counists had infiltrad and were destroying american society from within. yes. question hundred. he it's unclear he made it up. yeah yeah. people have tried to figure out why he said that descbed a number out of the hat out the air. yeah. okay. so anti-communist worried about in education, k-12 education, colleges universities they called communist educators reggie carter's. it's a little harder to quantify than it is to quantify the number of federal employees who lost their jobs because it happens at the local level in this country especially you know most education decisions were madet the local. so you're looking at school district

it is a conspiracy which the us government is filled with, honeycombed with traitors who are working actively to make sure that the us loses to the communists and eventually that communism over the united states. so this is his big leap, right? you have undeniable facts there. soviet spies in the government, soviet spies in military, especially during world two, when the us was allied with the soviet. now mccarthy was saying in saying and and in addition they're still here. they're dominating the government the secretary of the state and the secretary defense are their tools. are. all right. any questions about communism in the government. are all right. okay. let me now turn to the last segment of americans where there was a great fear the communists had infiltrated and were destroying american society from within. yes. question hundred. he it's unclear he made it up. yeah yeah. people have tried to figure out why he said that described a number out of the hat out the air. yeah. okay. so anti-communist worried about indution, k-12 education, colleges universities they called communis

about how in the 20th century there is this peer fit as americans more afraid of conspiratorsn the us government and the us govement itself becomes the focus of their fears. our topic for today is red scare. the fear of communis infiltrating institutions in american life. in the late 1940s and 1950s, fear of communists in nato meant communis in the government and communists in so that's our topifor toy. now as you know this is the second red scare us history we talked earlier about the first red scare which happened right after the bolshevik revolution in was fear in the united states that there could be a similar revolution here right this second red scare it last much longer and it's much consequential than the first red scare. right. so as i'm talking abo today, i want you to keep a coupl of questions in the back of your mind. first of all, is this really a nspiracy theory? should we be considering this in conspiracy theory, class? because as we'll discuss there were some real soviet spies in the us in the 1930s and during world war two. so if there was a real conspiracy, should you call it a

given the bank is backed by the us government and it's now conducting business as usual, this must beght now, right? actually, i had a call a little bit earlier and i was talking to a pretty prominent venture capitalist and i was making that point which they agreed with, which is that arguably silicon valley bank is at this moment the safest bank that you could bank with. i don't think that's going to last forever. the us, in the united states, deposits are insured for up to $250,000, but for right now, essentially you are banking directly with the us government almost, and there is essentially no safer place to put your money but, over time, i think svb will go back to being one of many banks, although they have a very unique business model and, ironically, a very safe model. one thing that is really confusing about this crisis is normally when you have a banking crisis, the bank might�*ve made bad loans or made risky investments, but none of that happened here. it was, to a certain extent, an irrational panic that set off a run on the bank, and the panic was the problem. mark dougla

there are cyber security concerns with having tiktok on government phones. in the us new ban. tiktok has already been barred from government phones, from the department of defence and other defence and security related agencies. this just takes things a step further. the worry is that peoples personal and professional lives could cross and that government data and government secrets could be collected by tiktok and end up in the hands of the chinese as a result. how likely do you think is it for the us to totally ban tiktok? notjust from government devices but altogether? from a logistical standpoint this will be incredibly hard and something that doesn't happen in the united states. civil liberties groups are already up in arms about this. to single out one app and then ban it from phones would be incredibly hard and face a court battle. you could force companies like apple and google to remove that app from their app stores, but people already have it, millions of people already have it on their phones. absolutely. also, a lot of americans make quite a lot of money

when the chinese government has used the chinese government has used the data for a number of purposes is to censor what certain people are saying track down dissidents in some cases or even punish those of other nationalities who say things that chinese communist party does not like. there are concerns that data can be used as leverage against individuals overseas will be used to facilitate their growth as a technological power in areas like artificial intelligence. the bottom line is needed way to assess these risks and that's what the bill is designed to do.- that's what the bill is desiuned to do. , designed to do. the chinese have said — designed to do. the chinese have said all _ designed to do. the chinese have said all along - designed to do. the chinese have said all along tiktok'sl designed to do. the chinese | have said all along tiktok's a parent company is not forwarding people's personal information but why can't the us accept this answer? the us osition, us accept this answer? the us position. if— us accept this answer? the us position. if i — us accept this answer? the

john, when, when governments either under the pressure of the us government or from their own governments, come on the any kind of suspicion they can be harassed, they can be arbitrarily detain. i mean, most bank, for example, the british citizen had, is possible taken off him, was imprisoned for a while. and then you know, when it came to putting him on trial, they miraculously didn't have any charges. that's what i meant to be given as possible. back on what basis. monday was held at guantanamo without charging trial . it's extraordinary. we're going to get to that in a minute. i have a personal connection. as a bag that i'm excited to talk to you about. first, i want to ask you, what do you see eventually happening to those few dozen prisoners who are still at one cono my. my own personal position is that they have a constitutional right to face their accusers in a court of law and to be judged by a jury of their peers. if they've committed a crime, then they should be tried for it and have the opportunity to defend themselves. that has never happened and it likely never will happen. i

why doesn't the us, the european commision and canada believe them? when the chinese governmentabout this, we'd never steal data from abroad, it is hard for the united states or others in europe or canada to take that seriously. there are chinese laws that would require bytedance to provide some of the information, so one step would be to make sure that the data does not flow out of the united states, it stays in service in the united states, but that leaves a lot of leakage, for example, what happens with the bytedance algorithm, still at the moment controlled back in china by engineers there? how much of the data were they be able to see? these are tough engineering questions and i don't think they've been solved at the level of confidence the us government would need to that tiktok come here to operate in this way. what's our operate in this way. what's your assessment _ operate in this way. what's your assessment on - operate in this way. what's your assessment on where l operate in this way. what's i your assessment on where us operate in this way. what's - your assessment

used for some nefarious purpose. however, these answers have not been satisfactory to the u. s. government u. s. officials continue to hurl allegations against tick tock as we saw in today's congressional hearings. it's also worth noting that a 150000000 people use tick tock around the world, and that number continues to rise despite the heated allegations leveled from voices in the united states. however, a poll did indicate that 40 percent of americans would favor a diane on tick tock. now there have been a number of us states that it passed a law for bidding tick tock from being used on government devices. we saw the scenes today in congress. the heated exchanges that went on so the controversy continues surrounding this social media app. for more on this let's cross, i'm now to legal and media analyst, lionel lionel. it's good to see you. now when it comes to applications like twitter, americans are said to feel more secure because it's an american company. however, twitter has been fined a $150000000.00 in the past for misusing user data. so why is twitter considered ok when it does exact

this bill comes after the us government officials were barred from installing tiktok on their devicese to zack cooper, who is a seniorfellow with the american enterprise institute and a former pentagon and white house official. we asked him what the us hopes to achieve with this bill and why they are so worried about tiktok. i know this is going to come as a surprise to many young people who use tiktok and certainly don't see it as a security threat, but the risk here is that tiktok is still owned by bytedance, which is a chinese company. there are a multitude of chinese laws that would require bytedance to divest much of the information that it has on all of the users of tiktok, and that's been the big concern from an american government side and there have been negotiations with bytedance, with tiktok, that have been ongoing for quite some time, about measures that would better protect that data, but those have not yet concluded in a deal that the us government is happy with, and i think that's why you are seeing the pressure now for congress to step in and provide the administratio
