"We see TikTok pushing to our kids self-harm, pushing substance abuse, pushing all sorts of messages that are designed to destroy the children of America. And the same is true with Hamas. They're deliberately pushing pro-Hamas, pro-terrorist messages," says Sen. Ted Cruz.
He’s the author of the new book, “Unwoke: How to Defeat Cultural Marxism in America.”
look I think Tik Tok is profoundly
dangerous the the Chinese government has
control over it has access to the
information it's an Espionage tool it's
designed to spy on Americans in
particular that the percent of American
kids and teenagers who use it is
staggering and and it is also designed
to push messages that are harmful to
America we see Tik Tock pushing to to
our kids self harm pushing substance
abuse pushing all sorts of messages that
are designed to destroy the Children of
America and and the same is true with
Hamas they're deliberately pushing pro-
Hamas prot terrorist messages because I
think China China believes it is engaged
in a Thousand-Year war with the United
States and and and far too many leaders
in America don't understand that that's
happening much less fighting back one of
the things I explain in the book is the
Democrat party today is structurally
pro-china I give you an example um let's
take the issue of
energy now the issue of energy as you
know the Democrat Party
is passionately in favor of the green
New
Deal and they're in favor of the green
New Deal despite the fact that that
America is the number one producer of
oil and gas in the
world uh we produce roughly 20% of all
the oil and gas in the world world we
have been energy
independent producing oil and gas now
what are the Democrats and what is the
corporate media push us to do they push
us to shift from oil and gas to wind and
solar now let me give you some of the
stats that are in this book on oil and
gas and and wind and
solar China controls refining capacity
for 73% of the world's
Cobalt 40% of the copper 59% of the
lithium 68% of the nickel and
83% of the rare earth metals every one
of those is necessary for wind and solar
power all right how about finished
products that the Democrats want to
produce our domestic energy China is
responsible for
80% of global solar panels manufacturing
for 70% of global wind turbine
manufacturing and 77% of global lithium
ion battery manufacturing so so
understand the next time you see a
Democrat the next time you see someone
in the corporate media pushing the green
New Deal what they're saying is we
should shift our entire economy and our
energy source from an energy source
where America is the dominant superpower
to an energy source where China is the
dominant superpower and they will have a
strangle hold over our economy and our
national security I I don't know how you
defend that on the merits and yet that
is Orthodoxy and you want to understand
just how significant it is just
yesterday in the Senate we passed a
resolution that would revoke the Biden
administration's ability to
purchase uh electric vehicles from China
even though they're manufactured with
slave labor and the Biden White House
has already said they're going to veto
that because they need to purchase from
China and and it's undermining America
