单集文稿 ...

  • TikTok is in a state of flux.

  • About a week ago, it disappeared for about 14 hours, even though it didn't have to.

  • Goodbye forever.

  • Then it came back and sent everyone in the United States essentially a Trump ad.

  • And then Trump enters office and signs an executive order saying he's gonna kick the TikTok deadline down the road.

  • But no one knows if that's constitutional.

  • Oh yay.

  • Oh yay.

  • In the meantime, a bunch of Americans downloaded a way more Chinese app called RedNote and and some of them started pledging allegiance to Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party.

  • No joke, we're waiting in line wanting to hand our data to China.

  • Long live China.

  • Long live Xi Jinping.

  • Big up to Mao Zedong.

  • China is the best country in the entire world.

  • I love China so much.

  • First off, Mandarin is amazing.

  • Second off, the Chinese Communist Party.

  • Yes, Communist is the best government in the entire world.

  • Most transparent government in the entire world.

  • We're going to ask why on Today.
