that s one point one million americans almost that have been killed by this disease. i mean, that s an abrogation of his most solemn and fundamental constitutional duty, which is to defend the united states from foreign attack. so you re absolutely right, biden just uses the wrong language. he s not raising and not defending the united states , which is a combination. well, and what are we to make of ticktock? i mean, we hear a lot about it. they make fun videos. you watch them. they re pretty entertaining. but, you know, they re used as a spying mechanism. that s the allegation. and yet there has been almost have been more action in the states than there hasn t been. and the federal government. yes. well, president trump and tick tock, along with that, president biden, one of the first things he did was he reversed that. we know that over the course of years, about three or four tick has been making representations to the us about how it doesn t allow data to be
