doth protest too much. i know you did not. what? i never had tiktok but i was up on the tiktok so i was looking at it and would see it but i never did anything with it. i don t feel that bad any longer if it s going to be going away any time soon. it s kind of dumb because i just feel like everybody s surveilling me on my phone now anyway. that s why the whole thing about chips and the vaccines is so stupid. bill gates doesn t need to put chips in your body. all these people follow you around on your phone. that said national security people kept saying delete it, delete it, so i deleted it. if jake has a feeling that lots of people are watching him it s because it s true. nice, very nice. but i don t know, jake, you re thrusting me into a moral conundrum as usual because maybe now i should do that. i m not telling what to do. i just want to explain to everyone watching why i say you can no longer follow me on the tiktok because i don t gots the tiktok no more.
china. but as people in china try to find ways to get around censorship, the authorities are cracking down even harder. the government recently announced internet users in china could be punished for even just liking posts that authorities consider illegal or harmful. so the space for people inside china s great firewall to express themselves, anderson, is just getting smaller and smaller. salina wang, thank you. appreciate it. the news continues with nooit with laura coates alisyn cam rata is next right after a short break. sam! hey little brother! the time machine worked. make this december one to remember. the day you get your clearchoice dental implants makes every day.
i just want to explain to everyone watching why i say you can no longer follow me on the tiktok because i don t gots the tiktok no more. and you ve also lost the queens english i see. i do whatever you do, so i guess by the end of this show i might do that, too. by awesome, ladies. see you later and good evening, everyone. i m laura coates in washington. and i m alisyn cam rata in new york. this is cnn tonight. political hitters like president biden to donald trump they re all out on the campaign trail as we speak tonight and election deniers they re also out there, too. senator ron johnson says he will not commit to accepting the results of his own race. he says he wants to see how it all plays out. i mean is it 2020 all over again, alisyn? it s never stopped being 2020, unfortunately. plus in a moment, laura, i m going to introduce transportation secretary pete
