The "Anti TikTok" bill will destroy all freedom online PERIOD. It will give the Government FULL power to put any U.S. Citizen under surveillance for simply saying ANYTHING they don't like under the guise of being a terror ist. They can also Arrest and sentence you to over 20 years and fine you a million dollars and NONE OF IT CAN BE CONTESTED. Oh yeah it also makes VPN's 100% illegal and a federal crime. Edit: The bill has nothing to do with tiktok either.
You mean historical political culture. This has happents all the time. A king took a load couldn't pay it of, blamed the guys leadning him the money for being in bed with satan, torture a few to get the answers he wanted
I’m enjoying the wide variety of ways Rey spelled, misspelled, capitalized, and spaced “TikTok,” and I think that it’s the exact amount of disrespect it deserves. 😂
This is true. Because congress is going after TikTok for the wrong reasons. They're not actually concerned about American people and making sure the app is safe for us and our children. They're concerned about how quickly information can be spread, and that Americans can get more accurate news there than via the mainstream media. They want it shut down, because if we ever wise up and rise up, tiktok will be one of our tools and they're scared of it. They're going after tiktok because they care about themselves.
That's because it would require them to understand the fundamentals of apps, and what differentiates TikTok from others in the same category. Something the majority of them are woefully incapable of doing.
It would have been nice if someone covered the fact that Tiktok is owned by a genocidal government that no one is holding accountable for: --genocide against Tibet, Uyghurs, Mongolians, and probably more --the horrific fate of political dissidents, people of faith (Uyghur Muslims, house Christians, Falun Gong, and more) --the fact that the CCP actively condones slave labor and CCP-owned companies engage in it constantly --the fact that the CCP harvests organs from live prisoners --the willful destruction of economies around the world through the belt and road initiative, product dumping, and intellectual property infringement, all of this actively done by CCP-owned companies --illegal overfishing in other countries' waters, harming their people and the ecology at the same time --the untold numbers of unsafe products full of cadmium, lead, and other toxins the CCP is actively trying to slip into every country in the world via bad apps like Temu and Aliexpress and Amazon --how Hong Kong ers were treated when they peacefully protested for their freedom, which was taken from them as the CCP willfully broke its international agreement with the UK --the fact that the CCP colluded with the US to create the beer virus (which our government needs to be held accountable for too --the fact that the CCP mass executed untold numbers of its own people, starving them in their own homes during the draconian lockdowns of the pandemic No app from the CCP should EVER be allowed in the United States. No PRODUCT made in China under CCP rule should be allowed in the United States. Or any country that purports to value human rights.

Our F-1 tornado was very cute! I laughed my butt off when the newscaster told us to “go into our basements.” Almost no one has a basement here. We don’t have that kind of land!
Given that a significant number of Americans don;t believe that there is a world that exists outside of America, I would fully expect the same percentage of their politicians to be equally as stupid and ignorant.
This is why there needs to be term and age limits in congress. I only say age because it is really worrying that in the age of internet and social media the average age of congress is between 58 and 64 years old and most of the big players are older than that.
At once time, there was a science and technology department which explained these things to Congress so they would comprehend them, but Newt Gingrich promised to "reduce the size of government" and reduced it by exactly one office. Guess which one?
What happens if one gets elected by the people despite being above age? Also at what specific age do you think people get guilty of having a disorder until being proven innocent, and do you think we should stop taxing them as well since that means taxation without representation?
I was reading bill 686. it is so much worse. VIP banns, fines and bans if they decide you are "influencing and Election" the ability to add any group to the ban list and immunity to FOIA requests.
I actually was in a building in the middle of the tornado in SoCal. Yea it wasn’t a Midwest Tornado but it still came outta nowhere and did enough damage to basically shut down the street I was on. So much debris and broken cars and windows everywhere.
It snowed in SolCal and people were freaking out. When I tried to explain shifting magnetic poles fluctuating is changing the areas that experience certain weather. Because science. People put their 2 second google doctorates to use. And im sitting there looking at the latest article released by climate scientists and international data like its right there. Words on the screen. How am I a liar whe I am literally reading the article on website. Run by very smart people.
@@PatrickKQ4HBD i somehow got pulled into a debate with a climate denier, who was demanding proof. And i was coping info directly from multiple sources like um that is proof. My brain kept short circuiting trying to follow their flawed logic.
@@Questfinder1 I've found when dealing with people in denial of reality instead of trying to argue with them using facts and reason to get them to accept reality; flip the script and make an outrageous claim and make them argue for reality against you being batshit insane and denying reality.

More like blood that hasn’t spent the majority of their lives before the intrawebs became a thing. I swear half of them ask their grandkids how to do things on their phones anyways…
I love that the one time Kansas makes it into the skit and its tornados. We're either Tornado, wheat and sunflowers, or The Wizard of Oz references. nothing else XD
I finally met someone who knew that the Chiefs and Royals were Missouri teams (that us Kansans have unofficially adopted since we don't have pro teams of our own) but honestly did not know that Kansas was a state. He saud " I thought it was just a random 'Word City', you know, like Dodge City." ... Dodge City IS in Kansas. If it wasn't for the Wizard of Oz, I am almost convinced that people would start lumping us in the same category as Wyoming...
As Someone who lives in NC, I feel that. It'd be like getting called about what to do about a T.D. or T.S., like c'mon it's not even a Cat 1! And in all honesty aside from special cases like Florence, the response would be more accurate with "C'mon it's not even a Cat 3!"
I grew up in Topeka, KS and went to KU. That whole bit with CA calling KS and KS about the tornado is SPOT ON! Seriously, I was "today yrs old" when I found out the Tornado Fujita scale doesn't start with F-1. Is it even a tornado if it's less than an F-1? I just figured it was a windy day.
Looking forward to The Table going over all the shady crap being squeezed in this bill. I didnt mind the concept, but I dont think any body figured they’d go full dystopian!
“My research says what I want it to say” oh hey- Gov learned that from Georgia (Florida? Whoever manipulated days of the week at the start of the pandemic)
Can anyone else agree with me that any representative over the age of 50 should be removed from office? And those between ages 40-50 should have to take a class on the basics of modern technology. If not do you think a new government department or company should be created to handle such things as informational leaks, and cyber attacks?
The Wi-Fi question was asked in the most Boomer way possible but there was an actual important question. The question being if it can connect to other devices on your WiFi network. If being connected to the Wi-Fi on your phone what Tik-Tok be able to interact with other devices on the network That's an actual important IT question. It was just asked in the most uninformed Boomer way possible
@@LeadTrumpet1 you are 100% correct on that. If you have concerns about technology you should get an expert on technology to answer the fucking questions lol
most of the reasons to ban tiktok aren't even mentioned, which is that the CCP laws require TikToks parent company to give the CCP COMPLETE ACCESS to the data. Foreign governments spying on us isn't really something preferable when they actively try to subvert the USA government. And most western governments
The fact that the people who are running this country don't understand BASIC technology like WIFI is the reason why I say we need age limits on all government positions including congress.
.... Wait, there was an almost tornado in L.A.? Huh.... Everything's great here in San Diego! I mean.... Last I looked. I have been asleep for a bit...
"Is TikTok in the room with us" is actually a perfectly reasonable question. I'm assuming that they subpoena someone to be designated as a specific kind of witness. Then, for the purpose of the deposition or interview, that witness has been authorized to BE TikTok. They are supposed to be able to answer all any any questions in specified categories that would be info that anyone in TikTok would know about those categories. This may mean the witness having to go interview other workers or do research before the deposition/interview. So asking "Is TikTok in the room with us" is asking if this person is the designated rep, and asking if he's properly educated on the designated topics to answer because right now, he is TikTok.
I don't get why people are so upset about this TikTok thing when Instagram and RUclips can do the exact same thing. Like even if companies like Facebook and RUclips paid to have TikTok on the stand, why does it matter? Nobody can tell me why TikTok getting banned is a big deal, but they expect me to care immensely about it.
TikTok in particular... no, no reason to care. The precedent of big companies paying to have their rivals removed by the government so they get to keep a monopoly... much bigger issue.
If nothing else, it would be about the precedent it sets. Just ban and censor anything you don't like, just because it's foreign to you? That slope is more slippery than your front porch after freezing rain.
Worst part about this is that there are good reasons to get rid of TikTok and regulate social media apps, but you could fill a room full of 'em and Republicans couldn't hit a single one.

Can anyone else agree with me that any representative over the age of 50 should be removed from office? And those between ages 40-50 should have to take a class on the basics of modern technology. If not do you think a new government department or company should be created to handle such things as informational leaks, and cyber attacks?
bruh frrrrr!!! Everytime I go outside in CA, it's a different goddamn season.
Man, I want more Kansas
Perfect for Kansas. I've been waiting for that for a long time.
MS just got hit with a massive tornado The wind was so strong that it leveled city’s and pictures/documents got scattered to AL.
It’s got to connect to the wifi…that’s so weird. When I’m on FB Zuckerberg just stands in the corner & takes notes😂
Coming from Kentucky, yeah, sub F2 is not even a reason to get out of bed unless its actually in your yard
Love the Kansas people watching tornadoes on the porch.
Aww, Cali watching an ALMOST F1 is like a kid's My First Tornado book
Do we know what Kansas was referring to before California clarified things?
Gotta love California weather
I really don't know whether to laugh or cry... This is scary actuate.
The Wi-Fi question was asked in the most Boomer way possible but there was an actual important question.
The question being if it can connect to other devices on your WiFi network. If being connected to the Wi-Fi on your phone what Tik-Tok be able to interact with other devices on the network
That's an actual important IT question. It was just asked in the most uninformed Boomer way possible
It has vibes of someone writing it down for someone else to read.
They should have had IT experts run this meeting.
@@LeadTrumpet1 At least have one on mic talking into the ear of someone. It was just a painful thing to witness.
@@LeadTrumpet1 you are 100% correct on that. If you have concerns about technology you should get an expert on technology to answer the fucking questions lol
most of the reasons to ban tiktok aren't even mentioned, which is that the CCP laws require TikToks parent company to give the CCP COMPLETE ACCESS to the data. Foreign governments spying on us isn't really something preferable when they actively try to subvert the USA government. And most western governments
Kansas reaction to California is very similar to if you ask a Floridian about survival prep for a Cat 1.
As someone from Kansas I can say it’s not worth watching until you see your neighbors new roof get ripped off for third summer in a row
As a Kansan born and raised I feel seen, thank you
To be fair, a weak tornado is still a pretty gnarly sight.
Granted, most in L.A. would be in more danger standing outside staring at it, but yeah.
nothing like seeing the hook come down over your edge of the city and then have it disappear.
True. I did freak a bit when an F1 looked like it might knock a tree into my apartment.
@@minigolfkid nothing like seeing a swirling funnel cloud move over your head in the sky and watch it move by...
Thank you for the KU rep Go Jayhawks!
Not even a cat 1 is just a summer breeze for the south
"Wasting my time", how did I know that was coming?
The fact that the people who are running this country don't understand BASIC technology like WIFI is the reason why I say we need age limits on all government positions including congress.
Lol doing good stuff. I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for being hilarious and looking forward to the next one
the government here reminds me of Florida, and I want to see both of their reactions to hearing me say it.
Aw, smaller that an F 1? That's barely a dust devil, calm down California
It's time for my weekly-ish catch-up with America. Oh... you guys good?
No, no we're really not. Thanks for checking, though.
No, no we are not
Not at all but thank you!
.... Wait, there was an almost tornado in L.A.? Huh.... Everything's great here in San Diego! I mean.... Last I looked. I have been asleep for a bit...
When he said, "the other L.A.", I confusingly thought, "lower Alabama??" lol
"Is TikTok in the room with us" is actually a perfectly reasonable question.
I'm assuming that they subpoena someone to be designated as a specific kind of witness. Then, for the purpose of the deposition or interview, that witness has been authorized to BE TikTok. They are supposed to be able to answer all any any questions in specified categories that would be info that anyone in TikTok would know about those categories. This may mean the witness having to go interview other workers or do research before the deposition/interview.
So asking "Is TikTok in the room with us" is asking if this person is the designated rep, and asking if he's properly educated on the designated topics to answer because right now, he is TikTok.
I live in Kansas. Don’t waste our time with a “tornado” that’s not even an F1.
finally, a proper representation of Kansas that didn't involve that awful movie from 1939
This reminds me about that old quote about your country being led by cowards and defended by idiots.
YAY NEWS
Excellent pacing with the edits!
Theres a band called The Other LA and I just now got what that meant.
See, this is what happens when you forget to bring your grandkids to meetings. Now they gotta figure out what wi-fi is, bless their hearts.
Yep,this sounds about right 😂
As a born and raised Kansan, 1000% accurate
Almost an F1 isn't a tornado, it's a dust devil
It was in one of the most populated parts of the country and not even EF-1? I agree with Kansas here.
i can believe that happens
I don't get why people are so upset about this TikTok thing when Instagram and RUclips can do the exact same thing. Like even if companies like Facebook and RUclips paid to have TikTok on the stand, why does it matter? Nobody can tell me why TikTok getting banned is a big deal, but they expect me to care immensely about it.
TikTok in particular... no, no reason to care. The precedent of big companies paying to have their rivals removed by the government so they get to keep a monopoly... much bigger issue.
Agreed, TikTok sucks, who cares
If nothing else, it would be about the precedent it sets. Just ban and censor anything you don't like, just because it's foreign to you? That slope is more slippery than your front porch after freezing rain.
As a Kansan, can confirm; don't waste our time with < F1, and porch is the place to be until it starts flinging mopeds and lawnmowers at you.
To quote Texas: “Time to Boogaloo?!”
Fun fact: that is Kansas’ first appearance since August 😂
Great video.
that intro is gold.
My Pinay girlfriend freaks out when I'm outside watching the storm (here in KS).
Worst part about this is that there are good reasons to get rid of TikTok and regulate social media apps, but you could fill a room full of 'em and Republicans couldn't hit a single one.
even this shows how out of touch lawmakers in the U.S is and its making fun of the trial
why is it so hard to get at least one congressman who knows how technology works like my gods lmao its honestly sad
