Who really owns TikTok?

0:00 Speaker 1 What is today is Brian Killmate, one of the star reporters at Fox and Good Friend on WABC on Monday through Friday. It’s between ten and twelve o’clock. And when I was talking the other day to him, he had some revelations about TikTok. Brian tell us about TikTok. I was really shocked all the statistics you had on it

0:26 and what’s really going.

0:27 Speaker 2 On, Well, a couple of things. I think you got to look into Sener ran Paul, who’s given him money, because one of the main investors into TikTok in America is the number one investor to ran Paul’s campaign. So I like to hear an explanation on that because I don’t have no patience for people that don’t put America

0:44 first in our security. I don’t care about competition. Nobody cares about competition. If tiktoks for the Instagram have at it, the problem is is one thing and one thing only. It’s Chinese owned. No Texas division or Texas projects is going to eliminate. According to all the experts, worried and everyone has the Chinese getting all of our materials and

1:08 can shape a newsfeed and with one hundred and seventy million users, as powerful as WABC is and Fox News is. We are dwarfed by the size of TikTok. So if they decide to pump out, maybe that that Russian war makes a lot of sense. The Ukrainians had that invasion coming to them, and the Iranians are not the aggressors.

1:27 They should be able to sell their oil. But it won’t be one big story. It’ll be the gradually gets warmer and North Korea is not really a thread as far as we go, China goes. You know, we’re not a threat to any type of Taiwan pro Taiwan story.

1:41 Gradually get shadow bands. And then I start talking to the experts. I say, you know, what is the problem, and then they tell me that Byke Dance has an editor in chiefs who’s also the secretary of the Chinese Communist Party. He’s embedded as the highest echelons of the company to control all of its products. He’s passed with quote.

1:59 This is the quote making sure all of its products, including TikTok, is here to correct correct political direction. That’s why Huawei isn’t here. It’s not that we don’t want competition, it’s that the competition is not France and Norway. They’re not looking to compete with us. They’re looking to destroy us and bite dance along with fentanyl along within. In

2:21 my view, these guys coming across with their roll of pegs along what they’re trying to do by buying into all these colleges are trying to dominate America without firing a shot. That’s why they get three hundred votes in the House. John, It’s nobody trying to beat up for No one’s trying to boost Facebook. No one cares about Instagram,

2:40 No one cares about Google. That’s nothing to do with this. It is about security. That’s it. So sell the company, close the back door, and then take your millions. But you cannot own it. They if they wanted to buy WABC from you, you would not be able to sell it to them. They wouldn’t be able to buy ABC

2:59 News because they’re foreigners. Rupert Murdoch had to become a naturalized citizen to buy the post.

3:07 Speaker 1 That is phenomenal, And a lot of big contributions are going to Rand Paul, who was their biggest supporters.

3:15 Speaker 2 At what you’re saying, That’s what I’m saying and.

3:20 Speaker 1 Rand Paul is also the one that is not going along with the AM radio. In other words, they want to do a joint thing on AM radio and keep aa AM radio alive. And I understand that some of the car companies have a phenomenal lobbying effort to make sure it doesn’t happen that they can kill AM radio

3:50 in their cars so they can charge nineteen ninety five in their cars.

3:54 Speaker 2 It’s insidious, and any worked really hard on that, and that thought people understood that altho matters to people, especially in the time when newspapers are collapsing. There is no local newspaper anymore, so it’s idle. And that was proven on the highest level, and you did most of the work.

4:09 Why would Senator Rand Paul stay in the way for freedom? It makes no sense. And that’s why I thought it was precignivicant that his number one donor is the guy who also wants thirty percent of TikTok. Hey. It’s a profitable it’s a profitable investment. World for profit. But if you think America first in our national security, why doesn’t

4:30 just why doesn’t it end there? You can make money so many different ways, and if you’re honest. You don’t go into the into into the house, or send it to be rich. You go too service. It’s a legitimate service.

4:42 Two hundred thousand dollars is not poverty. But being in two cities at the same time doesn’t make it easy. But if you’re there to get rich, I think you get the wrong focus. I never looked at rand Paul like that, but he gets really offended when you challenge him on this and how many people are in his party?

5:01 Speaker 1 Figure it out, Brian killmate, thank you so much for bringing us up to date. Keep doing that homework because we need to know. America needs to know the truth. Thank you so much.

5:12 Speaker 2 And John, the last person is listening in jeff YaST he’s the donor, the big investor in TikTok that told us to a big investor in ran Paul, got it.

5:21 Speaker 1 Thank you. We’ll talk with als.

5:24 Speaker 2 Go get them. John, thank you,
