Trump just brokered the sale of TikTok for the Chinese Communist Party to a likely friend or family member of Trump, but not before ensuring that China (and its military) receive Tens of Billions of U...S dollars in return for the sale, they can use to continue to hack, spy on, and militarily defeat the US.

Starting point is 00:00:00 Donald Trump is benefiting the Chinese and the Chinese Communist Party at the expense of our national security. They cut a deal in principle today between Donald Trump's trade representative, Jamie Greer, his Treasury Secretary, Scott Besant, and the Chinese Communist Party to have TikTok and its 170 million users be sold off to an American buyer for the American entity to an American buyer who's likely a friend of Donald Trump like Larry Ellison who owns Oracle. and all this Donald Trump has done because his foreign policy, his economic policy, is warped by his own avarice and greed and his desire to help his friends and family members while he's president of the United States. He's not supposed to be brokering deals to help his friends from the Oval Office. He's supposed to be doing the people's business.
Starting point is 00:00:58 He's getting paid to be the president. of the United States, not the deal maker in chief? Why do we own under Donald Trump in just the last several months, effectively own a controlling interest in a Japanese steel manufacturer operating as U.S. steel in the United States? Why do we own 15% of Intel, a computer chip manufacturer? Why do we own 15% of a rare earth mineral company? Why is the United States and the people's taxpayer dollars in business at all?
Starting point is 00:01:28 Why are we bailing out private enterprise and having the United States compete with private capital in the business world? And now because we want to benefit Larry Ellison, the likely ultimate buyer of TikTok, we're going to strike a deal where we get rid of the tariffs against China effectively. They've all been paused. And we make sure, this was a quote from Jamie Greer, the trade representative. We got to make sure the Chinese get fair value for TikTok. Oh, yeah, and by the way, that our national security is also protected. That's America First of Michael Popock. You're on the Midas Dutch Network and illegal AF.
Starting point is 00:02:13 Let's get to the apparent sale of TikTok. Now, remember, Congress got together in a bipartisan way under the Biden administration and blocked TikTok, banned it, unless it sold itself out from under the Chinese government. I know people love TikTok, but you also have to love it and recognize that the Chinese Communist Party ultimately controlled TikTok and its algorithm and all of its information
Starting point is 00:02:38 and personal data that you have provided him, provided TikTok wittingly or unwittingly. And that was a national security risk that was recognized not only by a bipartisan Congress and a president at the time in Biden, but by the United States Supreme Court who sided with. with the ban, even though Donald Trump, after he got elected, and before he became president,
Starting point is 00:02:59 tried to lob in a brief arguing that, well, things are going to change when I'm the president, so don't rule in favor of the ban. Well, that didn't work. And Donald Trump only jumped on the bandwagon to let TikTok be sold and to extend the time to sell it because his sons, Baron, and others convinced him that TikTok helped get him elected this time. In the past, Donald Trump was very vocal that he saw the national security risk of a foreign Chinese communist government operating effectively a surveillance platform through TikTok. But now that he can find a way to benefit friends and family, we got a new deal announced. And the thing that's most galling about it is I'll show you a clip from Scott Bassett, the Treasury Secretary.
Starting point is 00:03:46 We have a framework for a TikTok deal. The two leaders, President Trump and party chair, she will speak on Friday to complete the deal, but we do have a framework for a deal with TikTok. And the art of the deal, it was the ban that gave them the leverage, and the Chinese to gain additional leverage in their negotiation, because they needed some chips on their side, no pun intended, started a criminal investigation and an antitrust investigation against the U.S. chip manufacturer, Navidia. And if you didn't know it, Navidia is the number one stock in the world that drives the U.S. stock market.
Starting point is 00:04:30 Navidia, not Amazon, not Facebook, not Microsoft, Navidia. And so they went after Navidia and other chip manufacturers, including putting about 20 of them on a list. So they had that as leverage. So Donald Trump gave up and folded on the tariffs against China, cut the deal and then of course according to Jamie Greer the trade representative
Starting point is 00:04:56 for the United States we got to make sure the Chinese get enough money is that what you have to do I thought we're protecting America's national security I thought that was the reason for the ban
Starting point is 00:05:06 that gave you the leverage to cut the deal but again as I said at the top of the hot take why are we in the business of business as the United States government as the president
Starting point is 00:05:16 of the United States you're not the CEO you're not the chairman of the board of the United States we're not your shareholders, we're American citizens, we're patriots, we're taxpayers. Stop using our taxpayer dollars to go off on the folly of investing in business and competing with private capital. And then to add insult to injury, undermine our national security to boot. In this crazy upside down world that we're working to make sense of, I have no better
Starting point is 00:05:45 judge of character than my lab boarder collie Lilly.

Now, of course, Larry Ellison is going to end up on the winning side of this transaction. It hasn't been announced yet, but I'd be shocked if Ellison isn't the sole buyer or part of the buying group. First of all, he's got enough money to put the tens of billions of dollars necessary into the Chinese government's pocket. Nothing like giving our enemy and our military enemy tens of billions of hard-earned U.S. dollars.
Starting point is 00:07:45 So one, there's very few people that can. stroke that check. Larry Ellison surpassed Elon Musk as the world's richest man, hangs out with Donald Trump. Press conferences at the top of the term, you know, he's all in. And if he's not all in, his son is all in. The Nepo baby
Starting point is 00:08:01 Scott Ellison, who owns Skydance that just bought Paramount because Donald Trump allowed him to buy Paramount, which owns CBS News, so Donald Trump has effective control of CBS News in 60 Minutes through the Ellison family.
Starting point is 00:08:18 I'd be shocked if it's not Larry Ellison to stroke that check or at least a part of the buying group because you've got to come up with tens of billions of dollars to buy this platform and then make it work and make money off of it. But you should be as upset as I am that Donald Trump is, while he has been paid and elected to do the people's business, is just doing business, Trump family business. friends and family business, not the American people's business. This doesn't help the American people that TikTok got sold ultimately and brokered by Donald Trump to Larry Ellison or somebody just like him. How does that help the American people?
Starting point is 00:09:02 I know what people are saying. TikTok will survive. TikTok was going to survive regardless. If the Chinese didn't find a willing trading partner in Donald Trump and got billions of dollars off of Trump through his friends to do it and didn't have to give. up anything and got their tariffs reduced, who's the winner in the transaction, since we're calling it a transaction? The Chinese, the Communist Party just beat Donald Trump in a capitalist game. That's it. So that was going to get sold. So the 170 million people that used TikTok and I think I'm on there when they chop up some of my videos, you know, it would survive.
Starting point is 00:09:43 there was going to be a non-communist Chinese buyer. Oracle has been hosting the, that's why they're the natural fit. Larry Allison's Oracle has been hosting in their cloud and on their server farms all of the data for U.S. TikTok for quite some time since 2020. They're already there. Throw them the keys, give them the ownership.
Starting point is 00:10:04 They'll strike a check for $10 or $20 billion. Then they'll take TikTok public and get all the money back. And who will be there to support it? other friends of Donald Trump. Follow the TikTok money. It always leads to corruption and corrupt, warped policies of the Trump administration. And that's what we're reporting on right here. So what's going to happen next? We've got a tentative deal. Then we're going to see Donald Trump pull the rug out from a, well, not from under the Chinese, but to get rid of the
Starting point is 00:10:36 50, 60 percent sanctions against China. That's going to go. China's going to continue to wage war against our chip manufacturing, that hasn't been solved, and we're going to sell it to them. And then Donald Trump's going to hand TikTok off to a friend or family member, including Larry Ellison. And TikTok will go off and survive. And the Chinese will get lots of hard-earned American currency to upgrade their military with.
Starting point is 00:11:03 As Donald Trump also remember, brokered the deal for Navidia, the chip manufacturer, to sell the top secret or high-end artificial intelligence computer chips to the Chinese as long as Donald Trump and the American people get a 15% royalty. I'm like, that's what our national security is worth. You can put a price tag on that? 15%. This is the Trump administration in action. This is where all those worlds collide. His corrupt foreign policy, his corrupt tariff policy, his corrupt national security policy, all come into a head with his TikTok brokering.
