Full Episode
TikTok. Like I said, small businesses are growing and thriving there. People think that TikTok was shut down because of national security. Every single creator I know wanted an actual data privacy protection bill. Even TikTok advocated for a full data security protection bill because in Project Texas, they've already secured our data.
I challenge you to ask any friend, have you ever had a friend whose TikTok account was hacked? All right, guys. Tiffany Cianci here. We are in DC. About to be a busy two days for you, right? It's going to be an insane two days for me, but it's been an insane four days leading up to it too. You did like 50 interviews leading up to this?
I'm at, I think 46 right now. And I, no, no, I just had the AP in the car on the ride over. So 47. You did one on the way over? Yep. That is savage. So what's the story that everyone wants to hear about? Everybody wants to hear about saving TikTok. What's going to happen to TikTok if Trump's going to negotiate the deal to keep TikTok in the long term? That's all I've been working on.
Yeah. And you're feeling, we're filming this on Saturday, right? Or is it Sunday? Today is Sunday. Sunday the 19th. So for people watching this, it'll be after whatever happens. But what are your predictions for TikTok?
So we already know that Trump's going to turn it back on on Monday. He's asking the companies to turn it back on today. I don't think they'll be able to. I think Biden would have had to issue a statement, but we will be back on by tomorrow, I believe. And in addition to being back on by tomorrow, he made an announcement today that he wants to see a negotiating divestment where Americans hold 50%.
I probably should tell him we already do. So we're there, guys. Awesome. Wait, Americans already own 50%? I didn't know that. Because you've got guys like Mr. Beast and Kevin O'Leary trying to buy... Yeah, they're trying to buy it without the algorithm. They're trying to do like a full buy. And he's saying he only wants Americans to have to own 50%. He's not asking for a full divestment.
Interesting. In that case, I've always projected that we would probably end up with the Chinese owners giving up like 3% to 5% and a slightly larger ownership stake coming from Americans and that we could save it there with a sufficient divestment team. Because the US has to be one of their largest user bases, right?
We're actually not the largest user base, but we generate a lot of the income. TikTok shop here generates a lot of sales. 7.1 million small businesses in America generate all of their sales on TikTok. 700,000 employees in America rely on TikTok. So we are one of their largest money producers, but we're not the largest user base. Got it. Who is?
It's actually like a amalgamation of a lot of Asian countries and some of Europe, but we represent like 10 to 16%. Oh, that's it? Yeah. Wow. I assumed it was way higher than that. Yeah. Interesting. That's why there's no reason for them to sell to us. Yeah. And why do you choose to use it? Because I know you get a ton of viewers on TikTok, right?
