1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 2: Well, we tried to get through Daniel's squeaking chicken game. Okay,

3
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 2: We're gonna work on it. A lot of people are saying,

4
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 2: you know, you can go to TikTok. There's a place

5
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 2: you can go where they teach you how to play

6
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 2: the chicken. Really, I'm like, well, well, okay, well there

7
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,159
Speaker 2: may not be a TikTok pretty soon. We got to

8
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 2: talk about that. Yeah, what are your thoughts, Gandhi, what

9
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 2: are your thoughts about what's going on on Capitol Hill

10
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 2: with TikTok?

11
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 3: I understand it. I think the issue is so I

12
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 3: have a lot of friends who work in security, and

13
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,279
Speaker 3: all of them will tell you it's the worst thing

14
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 3: to have on your phone if you care about security,

15
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 3: if you care about your information, who's listening, where it's going,

16
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 3: TikTok is the worst thing for you to have. Right

17
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 3: They will also tell you Meta, which is Facebook and

18
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 3: Instagram has a lot of the same qualities listening to

19
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 3: you as well. So it comes down to quote, who

20
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 3: do you want having your information? And you know, right now,

21
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 3: reports are saying China is our biggest threat as far

22
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 3: as you know, safety goes. So that's why people are

23
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 3: so concerned with TikTok. And the TikTok that we get

24
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 3: is not the TikTok that China gets. China gets a

25
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 3: really healthy, solely educational, you can only use it for

26
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 3: certain amounts of time in a day version of TikTok,

27
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 3: and we get, as we've talked about before, like the

28
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 3: fast food version that sucks you down these deep holes

29
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 3: that you're in for hours and hours a day.

30
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: So, well, there's a security aspect, and then second level

31
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 2: of concern is the algorithms. They're saying the algorithms are very,

32
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 2: very dangerous and whatever, but they're saying if a company

33
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 2: wants to swoop in and bite, it's tens and tens

34
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 2: of billions of dollars. Oh yeah, And so there's a

35
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 2: good chance. They're assuming that if no one swoops in

36
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 2: and buys it, it will go away. It's done. And

37
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 2: the lot of influencers are swooping down on Capitol Hill

38
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: in DC right now to say, hey, you know, we

39
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 2: got to save TikTok.

40
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, because that's how they make their money.

41
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I get devastated, but I look.

42
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 4: At it from a parent's perspective perspective as well, and

43
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 4: think this is not a good thing for my case,

44
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 4: for anybody's kids, Like, you know, the information that they

45
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 4: can get, and I feel like they always know what

46
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 4: they're doing, and they then they send them these things

47
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 4: that they think they want to see and it warps

48
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 4: their minds in a way where like puts them down

49
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 4: the wrong path or gives them a bad you know,

50
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 4: just a bad perspective, you know what I mean, just

51
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 4: a body image and all that stuff. It's it's it's

52
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 4: it's a lot.

53
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: A lot.

54
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: So there's a lot, a lot to be concerned with it.

55
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 2: And I'm reading the text messages that have been coming

56
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 2: in over the days we've been talking about it, and

57
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 2: it's kind of split. I mean, there are you know,

58
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: and I don't know if it's an age thing or what.

59
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,399
Speaker 2: I don't know, Gandhi, if you've noticed anything.

60
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't know that. I don't know that breakdown.

61
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 3: But I do also understand the other side of it,

62
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 3: where they're saying wiping TikTok out is in a lot

63
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 3: of way censoring free speech, and that's not what we

64
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 3: do here in America. You don't do that. So I

65
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 3: don't know. I'm very torn about it. I'm not really

66
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 3: a hardcore TikToker in general, I do enjoy videos, I

67
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 3: don't ever post anything there, but I don't know. I

68
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 3: I'm not sure how this is going to be.

69
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 4: It'd be nice somebody could buy it and then you know,

70
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 4: something better.

71
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 2: I'm surprised that Elon Musk hasn't hasn't joined the crowd,

72
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 2: I mean.

73
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 3: So busy taking Twitter.

74
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Oops, yes, carry, what's up.

75
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: Some people are saying that it would be a shot

76
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: in the in the arm to our economy because of

77
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: so many people making all that money. But my question

78
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: then is if one door closes, doesn't doesn't another door open,

79
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: like wouldn't they wouldn't those people then find something else

80
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: to make money on, like whales or another the next

81
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: new big thing that we may create here.

82
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,839
Speaker 2: Well, And I think that's what we're looking for. I mean,

83
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 2: that's what's needed. And and as Gandhi was saying, Ometta

84
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 2: and Facebook that they're all you know, they're already there

85
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 2: sort of, but they want to build on that. But

86
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: this god putting your private information out there and giving

87
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 2: everyone in the world an opportunity to like tap into

88
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 2: things that are private to you, they could use to

89
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 2: their advantage and that could hurt you. That's that is

90
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 2: a frightening, fightening aspect of this, you know.

91
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 3: And in so many ways we've all just said, Okay, cool,

92
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 3: I want to watch some videos take it all.

93
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: I yeah, yeah, whatever, because it's funny.

94
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 4: Because I feel like a lot of people just look

95
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 4: at it as this innocent thing that like, you know,

96
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 4: keeps you occupied and you're not thinking about all these

97
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 4: other things that go into it. You're like, oh, I'm

98
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 4: having fun watching this and that a chef prepare you know,

99
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 4: cool food and you know, celebrities and it's just crazy.

100
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 2: Well, someone just sent a text and saying TikTok is

101
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: not being wiped out, just the ownership with China. No,

102
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 2: they're they're going to wipe it out.

103
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 3: Well, they're saying if they can, if they can split

104
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 3: from the umbrella company Byte Dance, that could be safe.

105
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 3: But that's not gonna happen.

106
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 4: How much is it gonna cost again.

107
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 2: Tens of billions of dollars, tens of billions. Okay, so

108
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 2: there you go. Anyway, keeping an eye on it. It

109
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 2: is the conversation. You know, so many people love to

110
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 2: like TikTok at all day, you know, for hours and

111
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 2: hours and hours, addicted to it, but not really caring

112
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 2: about their information being shared. I guess a lot of

113
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 2: people don't understand how important their information is. It is.

114
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 2: They can jack everything from you. You gotta be careful

115
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 2: with that.
