| Supreme Court of the United States withheld the ban to outlaw TikTok. | |
| Now, I don't like the framing of that. | |
| The wording of that is off because TikTok is not being banned. | |
| Now, I got to say this, guys. | |
| If you don't like the NSA, I'm not a fan of TikTok, all right? | |
| But I understand why people love it. | |
| And I'm okay with TikTok being handed over to an American owner. | |
| To an American owner that's not trying to spy on everyone. | |
| So you have Mr. Wonderful out there, Kevin O'Leary. | |
| Apparently he has put in a $20 billion bid along with some other investors to buy the platform. | |
| Apparently Trump has come out. | |
| He wants to save TikTok. | |
| And I don't blame him. | |
| Now, I don't like to use this example, but I heard it earlier. | |
| So I am going to use it. | |
| If things go smoothly with TikTok, there will be no major disruption if it transfers hands from Chinese-owned. | |
| Because remember, the CEO was basically saying that ByteDance did not control TikTok. | |
| Come to find out that's a lie. | |
| And as a matter of fact, they were getting even American, some of their American employees, some of the American leaders or executives within the company to sign forms saying that they were going to be loyal to the CCP. | |
| It's owned by China, guys. | |
| guys. | |
| I'm sorry. | |
| China is an adversary. | |
| So TikTok, as it exists, or at least as the ownership exists, has to go bye-bye. | |
| That does not mean that there needs to be disruption on the platform. | |
| Although, obviously... | |
| They're not going to be able to purchase the algorithms, but the sale must go through. | |
| TikTok must be sold to an American entity, and it should be sold to an American entity because one of the biggest things with TikTok, besides the spying on American citizens, for me, is dumbing down American citizens, and that's intentional. | |
| TikTok doesn't work the same, as you guys know, in China as it works in the United States. | |
| In China, They use TikTok to educate children. | |
| In America, TikTok is used to dumb down children. | |
| Basically, it's warfare without firing a shot. | |
| You want China to gain the advantage over the American citizen. | |
| You want American citizens to be dumb. | |
| You want Chinese students to go to school for hours on end to study and blah, blah, blah, and then eventually. | |
| They, you know, they supersede America. | |
| That's what they want to do. | |
| It's a slow takeover. | |
| They want to be the hedge of money around the entire globe. | |
| And that's what they're aiming to do. | |
| And TikTok was part of that. | |
| So I don't mind having TikTok around. | |
| It's just got to be American-owned. | |
| And it's as simple as that. | |
| So all of you that are concerned, listen, don't be worried, especially you influencers out there. | |
| Hope for the right buyer. | |
| That's what we want. |
