- The Joe Rogan Experience.
- Oh my God.
I read TikTok's terms of service.
I went down a TikTok rabbit hole yesterday.
- Yeah, it's good.
- I stayed home, smoked a little weed,
and I started reading up on TikTok.
- Yeah.
- Oh my God.
I'm gonna read you this, 'cause this is so crazy.
- Is it good or bad?
- Bad.
- So what are you saying, it's a bad place to be?
- Listen to this.
This is from TikTok's privacy policy.
- All right.
- It said, "We collect certain information
about the device you use to access the platform,
such as your IP address, user region."
This is really crazy.
User agent, mobile carrier, time zone settings,
identifiers for advertising purpose, model of your device,
the device system, network type, device IDs,
your screen resolution and operating system,
app and file names and types.
So all your apps and all your file names,
all the things you have filed away on your phone.
- Really?
- They have access to that.
File names and types.
Keystroke patterns or rhythms.
So they're monitoring your keystrokes,
which means they know every fucking thing you type.
- Wow.
- Battery state, audio settings,
and connected audio devices,
where you log in from multiple devices.
We will be able to use your profile information
to identify your activity across devices.
We may also associate you with information collected
from devices other than those you use to log into the platform,
meaning they can use other computers
that you're not even using to log into TikTok.
They can suck the data off that.
That's what you're agreeing to when you download and start using TikTok.
That's wild.
- It's insane.
My question would be, do you think they did that?
They created TikTok just on purpose to have all that?
- A hundred percent.
- Wow.
- I think they saw that people are addicted to social media,
and they came up with the most addictive version of social media,
which is TikTok.
It's the most addictive by far.
It's the best for sucking people in.
My kids are fucking hook, line, and sinkered on that shit,
and I know a lot of other people who are hook, line, and sinkered
to grown people.
- It's good.
- It's good, and it starts playing things immediately.
The moment you turn it on, it's like playing you a new thing,
playing you a new thing.
You're like .
And you just sucked into it.
And all the while, it's monitoring your keystrokes,
your audio settings, by audio settings,
that means it has access to your microphone.
That means it's listening to you right now.
- Just tell me how it ends, man.
- It ends with China having all of your data.
And if they develop a sort of digital currency--
- If they get all the data, then what?
- Then what?
- Well, you're fucked.
Because if they, look, what's going on in China,
I don't know if you've seen this,
but they pulled tanks in front of banks
to stop people from fucking rioting
because they just took all their money.
Did you see all that?
Yeah.
Did you see that shit?
- No.
- They have shut down people's accounts,
and they're doing a social credit score system in China.
- Okay.
- And they have digital currency.
- Video of--
- Video of tanks shows Chinese military exercise,
not bank barricade.
Yeah, according to China and the AP.
But if you see what's going on over there
with the digital currency,
what they have is the ability to tell you
you can't buy gas.
Like, hey, Theo, we don't like the way you're living your life,
so you're not going to be able to buy a plane ticket.
- China's a dump, man.
I mean, there's cool people and I like some of the food,
but I think it just, I don't know.
I don't like the way they're doing it all.
- Any military exercise they're doing when they're putting tanks
in front of a bank is intimidation at the very least.
- Do you think the people there even know what freedom is anymore,
or do you think they're just so brainwashed?
- They've never had freedom like we have, so no.
I mean, they weren't even capitalists for a long time, right?
It was a communist country, and then they realized,
you know what, in order to compete,
we gotta loosen this up a little bit
and let some people get greedy and make a shitload of money.
And that's what they did.
They kind of have a hybrid of capitalism and communism.
You know, because in the old days,
it was like the government would tell you what you do,
the government would tell you what you get paid.
And you just did what you had to do.
You did what you were told.
But what they do now is they allow people
to get extraordinarily wealthy.
So some people, they develop industries,
they develop businesses,
and they work in conjunction with the government.
Like every business that exists in China,
say it's a tech business,
you are an arm of the government.
You're not independent from the government.
Like that was the concern with Huawei.
Like when they were trying to,
when they banned Huawei phones
from being distributed in America,
do you know about all that?
- I don't think so.
It's not the gas station.
- No, that's a Huawei, right?
What is it?
- You're talking about flip phones?
- It's a H, no.
They have super complex smartphones.
Like Huawei, it starts with an H.
Huawei had some amazing phones.
- Oh, Huawei.
- Huawei, okay.
- Yeah, with an H.
- Okay.
- And they had amazing phones
that they were using like,
they had like 100 megapixel digital cameras
before anybody did.
Really like high-end phones.
But they also had network devices
that were stealing data.
- Fancy.
- Yeah.
Well, they were stealing,
they were using them as spy devices.
- Okay.
- You know, like all this shit
that I was reading about TikTok.
Well, that's, they have a similar situation
with like their routers.
- So that's spying.
So they're spying basically.
- 100%.
- But what do they do once they have all this information?
Like what's the end goal to having it all?
- Oh yeah.
- FBI found Huawei equipment in Midwest
could disrupt nuclear communications, CNN.
And that is from yesterday.
I'm gonna send you this, Jamie.
I'm gonna send you some new thing.
Hold on a second.
- Dang.
- Because this is really crazy.
This is some shit that they found out
where the FBI director starts talking about,
I'll send you this, Jamie.
Hold on a second.
The FBI director was talking about how bad
the Chinese spying is on Americans.
And he said, it's bigger
than every other country combined.
- Why do they want to spy on us though?
Because what?
Because we are what?
- Stealing intellectual property.
Stealing all your data.
Stealing credit card numbers.
Stealing where you're going.
Tracking you.
If you're criticizing the Chinese government.
Like whatever the fuck you're in control.
- So say one day they could like,
one day, would it be possible then if they take all this information
that they could just like commandeer like, say like a business's website?
- For sure.
- Like Nike. - For sure.
Let's listen to this guy talk.
Let's listen to this guy talk.
Go full screen.
- Yeah, sure.
- Go full screen and then give me some volume.
- The biggest threat we face as a country from a counter-intelligence
perspective is from
the People's Republic of China and especially the Chinese Communist Party.
- No country presents a broader, more severe threat to our ideas, our
innovation, our economic security than China.
And they are targeting our innovation, our trade secrets, our intellectual
property on a scale that's unprecedented in history.
They have a bigger hacking program than that of every other major nation
combined.
They have stolen more of American's personal and corporate data than every
nation combined.
- What is the FBI doing about that?
- So the FBI is keenly focused on the China counter-intelligence threat.
We are now moving at a pace where we're opening a new China counter-intelligence
investigation about every 12 hours.
- Jesus Christ, every 12 hours.
- So, like, say one day you could go to a website, right, to buy something,
okay?
- Yeah.
- And China has the information of the website, it has your information, and
they could, wonder if they could, like, put their own website over it so you
actually just buy it and they send it to you from China and they make the money
and that company never even gets there.
- I'm sure they could do that, but even worse, how about this?
Maybe you develop something, you develop some new, innovative technology, but
you develop it using an internet that's connected with Huawei devices or some
other device that the Chinese government has infiltrated and put third-party
access to.
So they infiltrate all of your secrets, and when you go to market, they've
already created it.
So they already have put people to work building the thing that you have worked
so hard to develop, they put engineers on it and they do it.
So all of our intellectual property, all of our creative pursuits in terms of,
like, innovation, they, they, they steal all that.
- Wow.
- And they just do, they build it over there.
Do you know they have Apple stores in China that have nothing to do with Apple,
everything's counterfeit?
- Oh, dude, one time I went to this Starbucks one time in Jamaica, right?
Somebody had, we went in there and they, somebody had just stolen a Starbucks
sign and put it up outside of this place.
- So we go in and the guy's like, "Welcome to the Starbucks Lounge." He's like,
"Can I get you a smoothie?"
- It was in Jamaica? - Yeah, dude.
- So it was just, he just had a Starbucks sign.
- Yeah, it was like a smoothie shop, dude. It was so ridiculous, bro.
- Well, other countries have like totally different rules in terms of what you
can get away with and what you can.
- And China's rules are wild. - Yeah.
- You know, they have versions of, uh, world cities that they've built replicas
of in China.
Like, they have a version of Paris. - Mm-mm.
- Have you seen that? - Mm-mm.
- Google Chinese version of Paris.
Because they have the kind of money they have in China and because they have,
like, free reign to do whatever the fuck they want,
they've literally built cities. - Damn.
- That they don't even use. - Oh, I wonder if, uh...
- What are you wondering? - I'm trying to think what I'm wondering.
- Look at this.
- The Eithel Tower left is one of Paris' most iconic landmarks.
The second largest replica in the world can be found in, boy, say that word, Tianducheng?
- Tianducheng. - Tianducheng, Tianducheng.
- After the Paris Las Vegas hotel in Nevada. Like, look at that one on the
right.
That is a fake Eithel Tower. It looks exactly like it, but it's in China.
- But that's just like us just... - But look, they build the buildings.
- Yeah. - Do you have to sign in for this shit?
- Everything's like that. - Enter your email.
- But look, they made all the different buildings there. - Wow.
- That's what's wild. Like, they've recreated everything. They've recreated,
look at that.
I mean, that is fucking wild. They recreate the building on the corner. They
recreated all this shit.
Look at that. It's in China. - Oh, yeah, that's the...
- It's a huge replica of Paris. Like, they've literally reproduced Paris.
- Well, dude, the one thing that's wild about China, you ride on the trains and
sometimes they have these buildings
and they're just... They built them, but there's no windows. They're just, like,
completely abandoned,
but they're huge high-rises just everywhere. There's nothing in them. Like,
look.
- Yeah, exactly. It's the same thing. That's what we're talking about. Like,
they have the ability
to do stuff like that that we just don't have.
- What do they do if somebody dies over there? Do they bury them or they don't
care?
- I don't know. I mean, they can definitely make you disappear over there.
Thank you.
