00:00:10,614 --> 00:00:15,254
Speaker 1: You're listening to a Muma Mia podcast. Mumma Mea acknowledges

2
00:00:15,334 --> 00:00:18,134
Speaker 1: the traditional owners of land and waters that this podcast

3
00:00:18,214 --> 00:00:19,054
Speaker 1: is recorded on.

4
00:00:22,934 --> 00:00:23,134
Speaker 2: Hi.

5
00:00:23,294 --> 00:00:26,574
Speaker 1: I'm Claire Murphy. This is Mumma MIA's twice daily news podcast,

6
00:00:26,574 --> 00:00:30,654
Speaker 1: The Quikie. Over the weekend, TikTok got banned in the US.

7
00:00:30,854 --> 00:00:33,614
Speaker 1: It couldn't be downloaded, no one could post anything or scroll,

8
00:00:34,014 --> 00:00:37,014
Speaker 1: and in the moments before it went dark, influencers began

9
00:00:37,054 --> 00:00:39,214
Speaker 1: to reveal their secrets like it was the time for

10
00:00:39,294 --> 00:00:42,814
Speaker 1: deathbed confessions. Today we break down the TikTok ban and

11
00:00:42,854 --> 00:00:45,614
Speaker 1: then not really banned, and why it's all wrapped up

12
00:00:45,614 --> 00:00:47,734
Speaker 1: in the handover from Biden to Trump in the US.

13
00:00:48,094 --> 00:00:50,734
Speaker 1: But first the laters from the Quikie Newsroom. Monday, January

14
00:00:50,734 --> 00:00:56,094
Speaker 1: twenty the first three hostages to be released under the

15
00:00:56,094 --> 00:01:00,054
Speaker 1: new Israel Hamas ceasefire agreement have arrived back home after

16
00:01:00,094 --> 00:01:03,134
Speaker 1: a three hour delay, Israel saying Hamas was refusing to

17
00:01:03,174 --> 00:01:06,174
Speaker 1: release a list of the hostages names who would be exchanged.

18
00:01:06,454 --> 00:01:09,894
Speaker 1: Footage shows three women surrounded by thousands of people holding

19
00:01:09,974 --> 00:01:12,854
Speaker 1: up their mobile phones as they walked towards red Cross

20
00:01:12,894 --> 00:01:16,654
Speaker 1: cars in Gaza City, accompanied by masked armed men wearing

21
00:01:16,694 --> 00:01:20,254
Speaker 1: green Hamas headbands. The women were then reportedly exchanged and

22
00:01:20,254 --> 00:01:24,014
Speaker 1: then immediately taken for medical assessment, President Joe Biden saying

23
00:01:24,054 --> 00:01:27,014
Speaker 1: they appear to be in good health. Relatives of twenty

24
00:01:27,014 --> 00:01:29,214
Speaker 1: four year old Romi Goonen, who was taken from the

25
00:01:29,254 --> 00:01:32,654
Speaker 1: Nova Music Festival, and twenty eight year old Emily Dmari

26
00:01:32,774 --> 00:01:35,654
Speaker 1: and thirty one year old Doron Steinbrecker, who were taken

27
00:01:35,734 --> 00:01:38,814
Speaker 1: from a Kubutz, joined thousands of people who gathered to

28
00:01:38,854 --> 00:01:41,894
Speaker 1: watch the release on big screens in Tel Aviv, jumping,

29
00:01:42,014 --> 00:01:45,014
Speaker 1: clapping and openly weeping as their loved ones who've been

30
00:01:45,054 --> 00:01:48,254
Speaker 1: held in Gazas ince October seven, twenty twenty three, were

31
00:01:48,294 --> 00:01:51,694
Speaker 1: finally allowed to come home. In a separate development, Israeli

32
00:01:51,734 --> 00:01:55,014
Speaker 1: authorities say they've also recovered the remains of Orange Shoal,

33
00:01:55,334 --> 00:01:58,294
Speaker 1: a soldier who was killed in the twenty fourteen Israeli

34
00:01:58,294 --> 00:02:02,774
Speaker 1: Hamas war. In return, ninety Palestinian prisoners were also released,

35
00:02:03,014 --> 00:02:05,734
Speaker 1: walking into the arms of families in the Israeli occupied

36
00:02:05,774 --> 00:02:09,054
Speaker 1: West Bank. The ceasefire begins an initial six weeks of

37
00:02:09,094 --> 00:02:12,654
Speaker 1: peace in the region. Celebrations breaking out across Gaza, with

38
00:02:12,734 --> 00:02:15,894
Speaker 1: some Palestinians already making the journey back to their homes,

39
00:02:16,174 --> 00:02:18,934
Speaker 1: many of which have been left in ruins after Israeli

40
00:02:18,974 --> 00:02:23,294
Speaker 1: airstrikes leveled almost entire cities. They also return home without

41
00:02:23,334 --> 00:02:26,014
Speaker 1: the more than forty six thousand Palestinians who have been

42
00:02:26,094 --> 00:02:29,374
Speaker 1: killed since the war broke out. Palestinians have been worn

43
00:02:29,454 --> 00:02:32,054
Speaker 1: to stay away from Israeli forces as a retreat to

44
00:02:32,094 --> 00:02:35,934
Speaker 1: a buffer zone still inside Gaza, while domestically, Prime Minister

45
00:02:36,014 --> 00:02:39,894
Speaker 1: Benjamin Netna, who is battling descent amongst those in his government,

46
00:02:40,174 --> 00:02:43,894
Speaker 1: with Israel's hardline national security minister quitting along with his

47
00:02:44,014 --> 00:02:47,694
Speaker 1: Jewish Power faction in protest over the ceasefire. The move

48
00:02:47,814 --> 00:02:51,814
Speaker 1: weakens netna Who's coalition, but will not impact the ceasefire deal.

49
00:02:52,534 --> 00:02:55,574
Speaker 1: Tennis legend Novak Djokovic has refused to give an on

50
00:02:55,734 --> 00:02:58,774
Speaker 1: court interview with Channel nine at the Australian Open after

51
00:02:58,854 --> 00:03:02,854
Speaker 1: presented Tony Jones mocked Serbian fans during a live broadcast

52
00:03:02,934 --> 00:03:04,974
Speaker 1: last week. Jones was standing in front of a crowd

53
00:03:04,974 --> 00:03:06,374
Speaker 1: when he said this, back to.

54
00:03:06,374 --> 00:03:09,974
Speaker 3: Melbourne Park where you can see the Novak Jokovic fans

55
00:03:10,014 --> 00:03:11,014
Speaker 3: there in full voice.

56
00:03:11,494 --> 00:03:13,334
Speaker 4: Yeah, the chance are quite a surety.

57
00:03:13,454 --> 00:03:19,334
Speaker 3: Novak, he's overrated Novaksa. Has the Novack kick him out?

58
00:03:20,334 --> 00:03:21,614
Speaker 5: Ooh, I'm glad they can't hear me.

59
00:03:21,934 --> 00:03:24,974
Speaker 1: Djokovic, after winning his match last night, gave a quick statement,

60
00:03:25,094 --> 00:03:28,454
Speaker 1: signed autographs and then left the court, starting his post

61
00:03:28,494 --> 00:03:31,734
Speaker 1: match press conference by saying he had nothing against Jim Courier,

62
00:03:31,734 --> 00:03:34,054
Speaker 1: who was hosting the on court interview, but that he

63
00:03:34,094 --> 00:03:36,414
Speaker 1: had a problem with what happened with Jones and that

64
00:03:36,454 --> 00:03:39,254
Speaker 1: he would not do any interviews with the broadcaster until

65
00:03:39,254 --> 00:03:42,934
Speaker 1: a public apology was issued. Djokovic now faces third seed

66
00:03:42,974 --> 00:03:46,774
Speaker 1: Carlos al Koraz in the quarter final. The Queensland government

67
00:03:46,814 --> 00:03:50,134
Speaker 1: has promised to roll out GPS trackers for serious domestic

68
00:03:50,214 --> 00:03:53,374
Speaker 1: violence offenders by the end of the year, joining Tasmania

69
00:03:53,414 --> 00:03:57,414
Speaker 1: and WA. The Queensland LNP promised during its twenty twenty

70
00:03:57,414 --> 00:04:01,094
Speaker 1: four election campaign that they would introduce the measure, designed

71
00:04:01,094 --> 00:04:05,894
Speaker 1: to track high risk perpetrators who consistently breached domestic violence orders,

72
00:04:05,934 --> 00:04:08,254
Speaker 1: revealing that one hundred and fifty of the five hundred

73
00:04:08,334 --> 00:04:10,534
Speaker 1: devices will be put in to service by the end

74
00:04:10,574 --> 00:04:13,374
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty five. The track has allowed police to

75
00:04:13,374 --> 00:04:16,654
Speaker 1: monitor those offenders for breaches, including going to the victim

76
00:04:16,734 --> 00:04:20,014
Speaker 1: survivor's home. The announcement by the Prevention of Domestic and

77
00:04:20,014 --> 00:04:23,054
Speaker 1: Family Violence Minister came a day after a woman was

78
00:04:23,054 --> 00:04:26,774
Speaker 1: allegedly set on fire in a suspected domestic violence attack.

79
00:04:27,054 --> 00:04:29,734
Speaker 1: The thirty four year old woman remains in hospital, while

80
00:04:29,734 --> 00:04:31,614
Speaker 1: a thirty six year old man has been charged with

81
00:04:31,654 --> 00:04:35,654
Speaker 1: attempted murder. Donald Trump has arrived in Washington ahead of

82
00:04:35,654 --> 00:04:38,734
Speaker 1: his inauguration ceremony, which has seen a venue change due

83
00:04:38,734 --> 00:04:41,694
Speaker 1: to the weather. Instead of being outside to a crowd

84
00:04:41,734 --> 00:04:44,694
Speaker 1: of thousands before the inauguration, Trump will host to Make

85
00:04:44,774 --> 00:04:48,414
Speaker 1: America Great Again Victory Rally, his first major speech in

86
00:04:48,454 --> 00:04:50,814
Speaker 1: the city since the day he urged his supporters to

87
00:04:50,854 --> 00:04:53,574
Speaker 1: march on the Capitol on January sixth, twenty twenty one.

88
00:04:53,974 --> 00:04:56,374
Speaker 1: Thousands of those people went on to breach the building

89
00:04:56,454 --> 00:04:59,734
Speaker 1: in an unsuccessful attempt to prevent Congress from certifying the

90
00:04:59,774 --> 00:05:02,894
Speaker 1: twenty twenty election result. Trump has vowed to part in

91
00:05:02,974 --> 00:05:05,454
Speaker 1: many of the more than fifteen hundred people who were

92
00:05:05,534 --> 00:05:08,894
Speaker 1: charged in connection with the attack. The inauguration is set

93
00:05:08,934 --> 00:05:11,534
Speaker 1: to begin at mo midday on Monday US time, with

94
00:05:11,654 --> 00:05:14,694
Speaker 1: the presidential oath to be taken inside the Capitol building.

95
00:05:14,734 --> 00:05:18,054
Speaker 1: Rotunda after organizers moved the event inside due to the

96
00:05:18,054 --> 00:05:20,894
Speaker 1: cold weather. That's what's going on in the world today. Next,

97
00:05:20,974 --> 00:05:24,294
Speaker 1: is TikTok really been banned? Well kind of, but again

98
00:05:24,574 --> 00:05:27,374
Speaker 1: not really. We find out where our American friends are

99
00:05:27,414 --> 00:05:33,654
Speaker 1: at with the social media platform controversy. It's January nineteen

100
00:05:33,734 --> 00:05:36,814
Speaker 1: in the US right now, the day the TikTok band began,

101
00:05:37,174 --> 00:05:39,974
Speaker 1: and true to the US government's promise, the app went

102
00:05:40,094 --> 00:05:42,854
Speaker 1: dark in the app stores, with Americans no longer able

103
00:05:42,894 --> 00:05:46,414
Speaker 1: to download it. The platform, though, also took away users

104
00:05:46,454 --> 00:05:49,414
Speaker 1: who already had downloaded the app the ability to scroll

105
00:05:49,574 --> 00:05:53,814
Speaker 1: or upload content, the move taking many by surprise. After

106
00:05:53,854 --> 00:05:56,694
Speaker 1: winning her fourth round match at the Australian Open, American

107
00:05:56,774 --> 00:06:00,694
Speaker 1: Coco Gough wrote Rip TikTok Usa next to a broken

108
00:06:00,734 --> 00:06:03,134
Speaker 1: heart on the camera lens as she celebrated her win.

109
00:06:04,094 --> 00:06:06,974
Speaker 1: Influencers who've been making their living from the app began

110
00:06:07,054 --> 00:06:10,454
Speaker 1: making TikTok confessions about their own con tent right before

111
00:06:10,494 --> 00:06:13,694
Speaker 1: the shutdown, admitting what was staged, what was faked, and

112
00:06:13,734 --> 00:06:18,374
Speaker 1: why they did it. The unprecedented plans shut down in

113
00:06:18,374 --> 00:06:21,654
Speaker 1: the US marks one of the most significant actions ever

114
00:06:21,774 --> 00:06:25,054
Speaker 1: taken against a social media platform. The app and its

115
00:06:25,054 --> 00:06:27,974
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy million American users were told that

116
00:06:28,014 --> 00:06:32,574
Speaker 1: they will effectively cease operations unless, ByteDance, its Chinese parent

117
00:06:32,614 --> 00:06:37,294
Speaker 1: company sells its US operations. As the deadline approached, several

118
00:06:37,334 --> 00:06:42,054
Speaker 1: potential buyers surfaced. Chinese officials are reportedly considering Elon Musk,

119
00:06:42,294 --> 00:06:46,014
Speaker 1: but these discussions remain in the preliminary stages. A consortium

120
00:06:46,054 --> 00:06:49,254
Speaker 1: led by billionaire Frank McCourt and including Shark Tank investor

121
00:06:49,334 --> 00:06:53,254
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Leary also expressed interest, with O'Leary indicating their group

122
00:06:53,254 --> 00:06:55,974
Speaker 1: would consider a bid of up to twenty billion dollars.

123
00:06:56,374 --> 00:06:59,974
Speaker 1: But the price tag for TikTok's US operations is estimated

124
00:07:00,014 --> 00:07:03,654
Speaker 1: at somewhere between forty and fifty billion, down slightly from

125
00:07:03,694 --> 00:07:05,894
Speaker 1: the over sixty billion it was valued at in March

126
00:07:06,014 --> 00:07:13,334
Speaker 1: last year, threatens to devastate the creator economy. For many Americans,

127
00:07:13,454 --> 00:07:16,974
Speaker 1: TikTok represents their primary source of income, and content creators

128
00:07:17,014 --> 00:07:20,414
Speaker 1: are already feeling the pinch, with some reporting a thirty

129
00:07:20,454 --> 00:07:24,574
Speaker 1: percent decrease in sponsorship income since President Biden enacted the

130
00:07:24,614 --> 00:07:27,494
Speaker 1: sale or banned legislation back in April twenty twenty four.

131
00:07:28,094 --> 00:07:32,254
Speaker 1: The implications extend beyond individual creators too. It could potentially

132
00:07:32,294 --> 00:07:35,734
Speaker 1: wipe approximately one point three billion dollars in revenue for

133
00:07:35,774 --> 00:07:39,534
Speaker 1: small businesses and creators across the US in just a month,

134
00:07:39,974 --> 00:07:43,214
Speaker 1: and this impact is particularly significant for women, who make

135
00:07:43,294 --> 00:07:46,934
Speaker 1: up around eighty four percent of all influences. The mechanics

136
00:07:46,934 --> 00:07:49,814
Speaker 1: of the shutdown were expected to be gradual rather than immediate.

137
00:07:50,054 --> 00:07:53,814
Speaker 1: While TikTok won't instantly disappear from users devices, the app

138
00:07:53,814 --> 00:07:57,174
Speaker 1: will be removed from US app stores, preventing new downloads.

139
00:07:57,494 --> 00:07:59,854
Speaker 1: Like remember when the creator of the game Angry Birds

140
00:07:59,854 --> 00:08:02,414
Speaker 1: decided to take it down so you couldn't download it anymore,

141
00:08:02,654 --> 00:08:04,614
Speaker 1: But you also couldn't get any updates for it, And

142
00:08:04,614 --> 00:08:06,614
Speaker 1: if you got a new phone or it died, that

143
00:08:06,734 --> 00:08:10,174
Speaker 1: was it gone forever. That's what would happen to TikTok

144
00:08:10,254 --> 00:08:13,454
Speaker 1: in the US now. TikTok says they'll display a pop

145
00:08:13,534 --> 00:08:16,734
Speaker 1: up message directing users to a website with information about

146
00:08:16,734 --> 00:08:19,654
Speaker 1: the ban when they attempt to access it. The company

147
00:08:19,694 --> 00:08:22,534
Speaker 1: will also allow users to download their data before the

148
00:08:22,534 --> 00:08:28,534
Speaker 1: shutdown begins in order to get around the band. Though,

149
00:08:28,654 --> 00:08:31,694
Speaker 1: in a bit of an unexpected twist, Americans flocked to

150
00:08:31,774 --> 00:08:35,694
Speaker 1: another Chinese app called red Note as an alternative. It's

151
00:08:35,854 --> 00:08:38,334
Speaker 1: surge to become the most downloaded free app in the

152
00:08:38,414 --> 00:08:41,934
Speaker 1: US Apple Store, attracting over seven hundred thousand new users

153
00:08:41,974 --> 00:08:45,214
Speaker 1: in just two days. The users have rallied on this

154
00:08:45,294 --> 00:08:49,054
Speaker 1: app under the hashtag TikTok Refugee, which has generated twenty

155
00:08:49,094 --> 00:08:52,454
Speaker 1: five million discussion threads and received one hundred million views

156
00:08:52,454 --> 00:08:56,294
Speaker 1: on the platform. And ironically, Americans are embracing another Chinese

157
00:08:56,334 --> 00:08:59,134
Speaker 1: owned company while trying to escape the ban, which hinged

158
00:08:59,134 --> 00:09:02,014
Speaker 1: on it being owned by a Chinese company, with some

159
00:09:02,134 --> 00:09:05,614
Speaker 1: users playfully commenting about coming willingly to the Chinese spies

160
00:09:05,654 --> 00:09:08,734
Speaker 1: and begging to be allowed to stay. But there may

161
00:09:08,774 --> 00:09:11,374
Speaker 1: be light at the end of the tunnel. On Friday

162
00:09:11,414 --> 00:09:15,014
Speaker 1: Australian Time, a US official said that outgoing President Joe

163
00:09:15,054 --> 00:09:18,214
Speaker 1: Biden wouldn't enforce the ban, leaving the fate of the

164
00:09:18,254 --> 00:09:22,054
Speaker 1: platform in the hands of incoming President Donald Trump. Now,

165
00:09:22,054 --> 00:09:25,054
Speaker 1: Trump did try to ban TikTok during his first term,

166
00:09:25,094 --> 00:09:27,894
Speaker 1: but has seemingly changed his tune, calling for the Supreme

167
00:09:27,934 --> 00:09:29,694
Speaker 1: Court to delay the band's enforcement.

168
00:09:30,254 --> 00:09:30,414
Speaker 2: Now.

169
00:09:30,414 --> 00:09:33,574
Speaker 1: This reversal came after a meeting with billionaire jeff Yass,

170
00:09:33,614 --> 00:09:38,734
Speaker 1: a significant dance investor and Republican donor, and of course,

171
00:09:38,974 --> 00:09:41,774
Speaker 1: Trump launching his own TikTok account in twenty twenty four

172
00:09:41,814 --> 00:09:47,614
Speaker 1: to help his campaign reach younger voters quite successfully. The

173
00:09:47,694 --> 00:09:51,134
Speaker 1: President's National Security advisor, Mike Waltz told Fox and Friends

174
00:09:51,134 --> 00:09:54,454
Speaker 1: that perhaps the incoming administration will be taking steps to

175
00:09:54,494 --> 00:09:57,054
Speaker 1: stop the platform from fading from American lives.

176
00:09:57,454 --> 00:10:01,294
Speaker 6: Well, it's the threat from China, seeing the data being

177
00:10:01,334 --> 00:10:04,574
Speaker 6: able to manipulate hundreds of millions of Americans. We wouldn't

178
00:10:04,574 --> 00:10:06,774
Speaker 6: have had that with the Soviet Union. We certainly shouldn't

179
00:10:06,814 --> 00:10:09,494
Speaker 6: have it with the Chinese Communist Party. TikTok itself is

180
00:10:09,694 --> 00:10:11,814
Speaker 6: a fantastic platform. I wish I could have it on

181
00:10:11,854 --> 00:10:14,494
Speaker 6: my phone. The algorithm's amazing. We're going to find a

182
00:10:14,534 --> 00:10:17,494
Speaker 6: way to preserve it, but protect people's data, and that's

183
00:10:17,534 --> 00:10:19,094
Speaker 6: the deal that'll be in front of us.

184
00:10:19,414 --> 00:10:21,694
Speaker 1: It seems the looming ban was also not sitting quite

185
00:10:21,774 --> 00:10:24,974
Speaker 1: right with some Democrats too, with Senate Leader Chuck Schumer

186
00:10:25,054 --> 00:10:27,694
Speaker 1: saying he spoke to Biden to advocate for a banned

187
00:10:27,694 --> 00:10:30,934
Speaker 1: extension after trying to pass legislation to do exactly that,

188
00:10:31,214 --> 00:10:34,814
Speaker 1: but found themselves blocked by Republican senator Tom Cotton Now.

189
00:10:34,854 --> 00:10:37,654
Speaker 1: Cotton is the chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee who

190
00:10:37,694 --> 00:10:41,174
Speaker 1: went viral last year after questioning the Singaporean TikTok.

191
00:10:40,934 --> 00:10:44,934
Speaker 5: Ceo of what nation are you a citizen? Singapore is?

192
00:10:45,334 --> 00:10:47,974
Speaker 5: Are you a citizen of any other nation? No, Senator,

193
00:10:48,014 --> 00:10:51,254
Speaker 5: have you ever applied for Chinese citizenship? Senator, I serve

194
00:10:51,374 --> 00:10:54,534
Speaker 5: my nation in Singapore. No, I didnied. Have you ever

195
00:10:54,534 --> 00:10:57,814
Speaker 5: been a member of the Chinese Communist Party? Senator, I'm Singaporean. No.

196
00:10:58,694 --> 00:11:00,894
Speaker 5: Have you ever been associated or affiliated with the Chinese

197
00:11:00,934 --> 00:11:03,654
Speaker 5: Communist Party? No? Senator again, I'm Singaporean.

198
00:11:04,174 --> 00:11:04,334
Speaker 2: Now.

199
00:11:04,374 --> 00:11:07,374
Speaker 1: He maintains that this platform is too closely tied to

200
00:11:07,414 --> 00:11:10,254
Speaker 1: the Chinese government to allow it to continue in the US.

201
00:11:10,694 --> 00:11:14,094
Speaker 5: TikTok isn't just another social media platform. TikTok is a

202
00:11:14,214 --> 00:11:19,054
Speaker 5: Chinese communist spy app that addicts our kids, harvest their data,

203
00:11:19,134 --> 00:11:24,414
Speaker 5: targets them with harmful and manipulative content, and spreads communist propaganda.

204
00:11:25,094 --> 00:11:28,894
Speaker 1: But TikTok ceo Shao Ziju, will reportedly be in attendance

205
00:11:28,894 --> 00:11:31,734
Speaker 1: for the inauguration this week. It's also saying he'll be

206
00:11:31,774 --> 00:11:35,254
Speaker 1: given a prominent position for the ceremony, alongside fellow social

207
00:11:35,294 --> 00:11:39,054
Speaker 1: media platform owners Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and open Ai

208
00:11:39,214 --> 00:11:42,774
Speaker 1: Sam Altman, along with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. So it

209
00:11:42,854 --> 00:11:45,374
Speaker 1: seems TikTok mayley vin in the hearts and minds of

210
00:11:45,454 --> 00:11:48,614
Speaker 1: US citizens, after all, some of whom are happy it's

211
00:11:48,614 --> 00:11:49,414
Speaker 1: still accessible.

212
00:11:49,774 --> 00:11:52,614
Speaker 2: I am ecstatic, y'all. I am so excited because Biden

213
00:11:52,694 --> 00:11:56,494
Speaker 2: gave Trump like the finally make your choice with TikTok,

214
00:11:56,574 --> 00:11:59,054
Speaker 2: and that is such fun news for me to hear,

215
00:11:59,094 --> 00:12:00,814
Speaker 2: because one of two things are probably going to happen.

216
00:12:00,854 --> 00:12:02,574
Speaker 2: One Trump's gonna do what he said and he's going

217
00:12:02,614 --> 00:12:05,094
Speaker 2: to give us TikTok. Or two he's going to get

218
00:12:05,174 --> 00:12:07,134
Speaker 2: rid of TikTok and he's going to say it's for

219
00:12:07,214 --> 00:12:10,174
Speaker 2: security threats. But then you win against your word. And

220
00:12:10,214 --> 00:12:12,214
Speaker 2: I know he's already done it, but oh, that would

221
00:12:12,254 --> 00:12:13,614
Speaker 2: just be icing on the cake.

222
00:12:14,334 --> 00:12:16,894
Speaker 1: And those who just want their politicians to stop messing

223
00:12:16,974 --> 00:12:18,054
Speaker 1: with them, all.

224
00:12:17,854 --> 00:12:22,254
Speaker 4: Of this emotional whiplash that politicians and people in Washington

225
00:12:22,654 --> 00:12:26,774
Speaker 4: are doing to TikTok users. It's annoying. I'm tired of

226
00:12:26,814 --> 00:12:29,174
Speaker 4: seeing that. I'm tired of hearing it. One second it's banned,

227
00:12:29,214 --> 00:12:32,214
Speaker 4: this next second it's not. I don't know man, DC,

228
00:12:32,814 --> 00:12:36,534
Speaker 4: Washington politicians, y'all need to figure it out. Pick a

229
00:12:36,654 --> 00:12:39,494
Speaker 4: lane and stay in it, bro, because y'all y'all messing

230
00:12:39,574 --> 00:12:41,694
Speaker 4: with people's emotions and it's tiring.

231
00:12:41,774 --> 00:12:41,974
Speaker 6: Bro.

232
00:12:42,574 --> 00:12:45,174
Speaker 1: After the US Supreme Court upheld the decision to ban

233
00:12:45,254 --> 00:12:47,614
Speaker 1: the platform or have it sold to a US buyer,

234
00:12:47,934 --> 00:12:51,294
Speaker 1: designing the risk to national security posed by TikTok's times

235
00:12:51,334 --> 00:12:55,014
Speaker 1: to China was too great, President elect Donald Trump confirmed

236
00:12:55,094 --> 00:12:58,174
Speaker 1: he will issue an executive order giving byt Dance extra

237
00:12:58,214 --> 00:13:00,214
Speaker 1: time to find a buyer for the US part of

238
00:13:00,214 --> 00:13:03,534
Speaker 1: the business. The lord does allow the sitting president authority

239
00:13:03,574 --> 00:13:06,694
Speaker 1: to grant a ninety day extension if a viable sale

240
00:13:06,774 --> 00:13:10,094
Speaker 1: is underway. However, Byte Dance have said that they will

241
00:13:10,134 --> 00:13:13,134
Speaker 1: not be selling. Trump then wrote on truth Social that

242
00:13:13,214 --> 00:13:15,294
Speaker 1: he would like the US to have a fifty percent

243
00:13:15,334 --> 00:13:18,574
Speaker 1: ownership position in a joint venture. He explained that by

244
00:13:18,654 --> 00:13:21,574
Speaker 1: doing this, we save TikTok, keep it in good hands,

245
00:13:21,774 --> 00:13:24,134
Speaker 1: and allow it to stay up. Thanks for taking the
