░░░░░░░░ followers on this tik ░░░░░░░░ He s got like ░░░░░░░░ million likes in total ░░░░░░░░ what is your take ░░░░░░░░ this whole thing Well ░░░░░░░░ s great to be ░░░░░░░░ with you Carl like ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump is known ░░░░░░░░ being a fierce negotiator ░░░░░░░░ s known for the ░░░░░░░░ of the deal So ░░░░░░░░ hope is that he ░░░░░░░░ save TikTok I know ░░░░░░░░ s been in communication ░░░░░░░░ President Xi Let s ░░░░░░░░ a deal that works ░░░░░░░░ us so we can ░░░░░░░░ this app Because TikTok ░░░░░░░░ you mentioned has 170 ░░░░░░░░ users more gen z ░░░░░░░░ use TikTok than any ░░░░░░░░ app and gen z ░░░░░░░░ they re also not ░░░░░░░░ cable news So TikTok ░░░░░░░░ the best avenue for ░░░░░░░░ Trump and Republicans conservatives ░░░░░░░░ to get their message ░░░░░░░░ there to young people ░░░░░░░░ have to circumvent it ░░░░░░░░ have to circumvent the ░░░░░░░░ media What are young ░░░░░░░░ going to watch MSNBC ░░░░░░░░ Maddow mrs Potato head ░░░░░░░░ Reid no they re ░░░░░░░░ to go on TikTok ░░░░░░░░ get their news And ░░░░░░░░ like you I have ░░░░░░░░ same concerns about the ░░░░░░░░ and privacy and data ░░░░░░░░ But I have those ░░░░░░░░ concerns about Chinese companies ░░░░░░░░ farmland in the United ░░░░░░░░ near military bases I ░░░░░░░░ the same concerns with ░░░░░░░░ companies owning food processors ░░░░░░░░ the United States So ░░░░░░░░ s find a deal ░░░░░░░░ works for us to ░░░░░░░░ TikTok so we can ░░░░░░░░ these young people in ░░░░░░░░ midterms and in 2028 ░░░░░░░░ Well you bring up ░░░░░░░░ interesting point Like look ░░░░░░░░ m a public guy ░░░░░░░░ I ran for city ░░░░░░░░ Like you can basically ░░░░░░░░ my Social Security number ░░░░░░░░ this point right So ░░░░░░░░ I m not having ░░░░░░░░ app on my phone ░░░░░░░░ t really bothering to ░░░░░░░░ But also at the ░░░░░░░░ point You re right ░░░░░░░░ know the Chinese have ░░░░░░░░ access to our grids ░░░░░░░░ power grids We know ░░░░░░░░ Chinese are buying like ░░░░░░░░ and processing and land ░░░░░░░░ of military bases and ░░░░░░░░ spy balloo support in ░░░░░░░░ like I don t ░░░░░░░░ actually know where I ░░░░░░░░ on this to be ░░░░░░░░ Normally I have an ░░░░░░░░ about everything but do ░░░░░░░░ support banning this until ░░░░░░░░ can find it or ░░░░░░░░ you think they should ░░░░░░░░ it open and force ░░░░░░░░ to just get rid ░░░░░░░░ it I think they ░░░░░░░░ definitely keep TikTok open ░░░░░░░░ the interim because young ░░░░░░░░ we are fickle So ░░░░░░░░ you close down TikTok ░░░░░░░░ a month or two ░░░░░░░░ it s going to ░░░░░░░░ hard to get us ░░░░░░░░ come back to that ░░░░░░░░ And I have concerns ░░░░░░░░ conservatives and Republicans going ░░░░░░░░ in elections How are ░░░░░░░░ going to get that ░░░░░░░░ out there to young ░░░░░░░░ who love TikTok and ░░░░░░░░ 7 million small business ░░░░░░░░ a lot of them ░░░░░░░░ are in swing states ░░░░░░░░ re not going to ░░░░░░░░ happy when you shut ░░░░░░░░ TikTok come 2028 Yeah ░░░░░░░░ I think that this ░░░░░░░░ a single issue on ░░░░░░░░ mean like this is ░░░░░░░░ important an issue to ░░░░░░░░ people as like guns ░░░░░░░░ to me I think ░░░░░░░░ s like it is ░░░░░░░░ voting issue Like how ░░░░░░░░ people do you have ░░░░░░░░ a million followers or ░░░░░░░░ like that You know ░░░░░░░░ what what happens to ░░░░░░░░ who make the 7 ░░░░░░░░ people that make their ░░░░░░░░ income on this Exactly ░░░░░░░░ don t know what ░░░░░░░░ going to happen to ░░░░░░░░ They can go to ░░░░░░░░ But Mark Zuckerberg until ░░░░░░░░ he was censoring conservatives ░░░░░░░░ and disaffected Democrats on ░░░░░░░░ platform So it s ░░░░░░░░ to see Mark Zuckerberg ░░░░░░░░ a 180 He wants ░░░░░░░░ walk back the die ░░░░░░░░ wants to take the ░░░░░░░░ out of men s ░░░░░░░░ It s better late ░░░░░░░░ never But Mark Zuckerberg ░░░░░░░░ t have the best ░░░░░░░░ record yet at uplifting ░░░░░░░░ democratic voices In fact ░░░░░░░░ worked with the White ░░░░░░░░ and the Biden Administration ░░░░░░░░ censor people during Covid ░░░░░░░░ kicked RFK Jr off ░░░░░░░░ Instagram for two and ░░░░░░░░ half years So Mark ░░░░░░░░ he might be a ░░░░░░░░ ally to conservatives moving ░░░░░░░░ He s come around ░░░░░░░░ the 11th hour but ░░░░░░░░ can t trust him ░░░░░░░░ now to just run ░░░░░░░░ to his platform Yeah ░░░░░░░░ that s interesting But ░░░░░░░░ know what s what ░░░░░░░░ funny is like the ░░░░░░░░ CEO he s playing ░░░░░░░░ sides He s going ░░░░░░░░ the inauguration He praised ░░░░░░░░ thanking him for pushing ░░░░░░░░ keep this app alive ░░░░░░░░ here s the thing ░░░░░░░░ lot of people who ░░░░░░░░ to ban it two ░░░░░░░░ ago now are saying ░░░░░░░░ whoa whoa hold on ░░░░░░░░ actually became real for ░░░░░░░░ It s like they ░░░░░░░░ t even realize what ░░░░░░░░ were doing when they ░░░░░░░░ on it I think ░░░░░░░░ s a bigger concern ░░░░░░░░ is a very big ░░░░░░░░ But I don t ░░░░░░░░ if ween in the ░░░░░░░░ I remember being in ░░░░░░░░ on Vivek Ramaswamy campaign ░░░░░░░░ in July of 2023 ░░░░░░░░ telling him and his ░░░░░░░░ you should really get ░░░░░░░░ TikTok It s really ░░░░░░░░ mostly democratic environment There ░░░░░░░░ no conservatives on there ░░░░░░░░ could pave a lane ░░░░░░░░ get on TikTok and ░░░░░░░░ your message out to ░░░░░░░░ people No I m ░░░░░░░░ sure I m concerned ░░░░░░░░ the CCP Then a ░░░░░░░░ months later Vivek joins ░░░░░░░░ Then Trump joins TikTok ░░░░░░░░ then they realize oh ░░░░░░░░ is a great avenue ░░░░░░░░ reach young people who ░░░░░░░░ t seeing us on ░░░░░░░░ news Yeah no it ░░░░░░░░ going to be very ░░░░░░░░ Well lauren I m ░░░░░░░░ you will have something ░░░░░░░░ say about this,
