Sen. Ted Cruz: My objective is to eliminate the Chinese government's control and power over TikTok

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) joins 'Squawk Box' to discuss his thoughts on the TikTok ban bill in the House, whether the bill can garner enough support in the Senate, TikTok's ties to the Chinese government, what concerns him the most about the social media app, and more.

ask him about inflation.

[@philliphsieh83]

I support and will obey Ted Cruz forever!

[@ljacobs357]

Joe Kiernan's hero.

Ted sounds guilty when asked if he ever used tik tok

[@missouri6014]

Ted Cruz on the show
Really
Now I know the show has no credibility
This is like another episode of Fox News
And then you demonize Facebook as if there’s a conspiracy
Really
Come on

If CNBC is going to have a paid lobbyist on the program, doh ... I mean Sen. cruz, then at a minimum have someone on that responds to his paid for talking points. At least Sorkin demonstrated some journalistic integrity this morning for a change and questioned ted's narrative.

maybe just ban the internet

[@crazyfox5858]

Here we go with another softball interview of the FAR FAR Right with Joe. Maybe one day CNBC will remember are journalists and not shills.

[@weho_brian]

bye bye Trash Tok

[@kevinbutz8291]

Why can't y'all agree with each other on anything but this? I have always respected and supported you. As Americans this is our only way to come together without Americans without the narrative of the United States government. I am truly disappointed Ted Cruz as a citizen of TEXAS 1st and of US second

[@BigO44716]

Yes, someone from Texas who realizes Ted Cruz doesn't have their best interests at heart.

Kids need to be off all of it.

[@nursinglove7295]

Just know America is not free! Our freedom is limited

[@Researchedthat]

Interested to see Chinese response . Prediction : nationalizing all American companies in China.

Oops lies the hard dum news

[@davidbyers3928]

Cruz cant even stand up for his family Why do they keep giving this Scary less then a man the time of day is Beyond me.😂😂

[@holgerbrunken3602]

Ted Cruz seems to have forgotten that his master DT just endorsed tiktok. I think, tomorrow, Cruz loves tiktok

[@KK-pm7ud]

Donald got a playoff from people who don't want TikTok sold. Traitors and foreign operatives. It tells you everything you need to know about DT as he had access to the same Intel about TikTok when he as President. They were doing heavy psyops during the pandemic and it was widely known in the government during even that time.

CNBC apologists for the Chinese ministry of state security

[@William1866]

Enjoy censorship when the deep state takes control. Ooof!

Do you think the next president will cut entitlements to slow the economy down?

[@elviaromero6587]

Good job..❤❤❤❤

[@sapaiyo9810]

Andrew is asking a very smart and logical question that caught Ted Cruz by surprise. Most of those US politicians have no zero knowledge about tiktok and they just go along with the flow of the majority to protect their job

[@ZoltzenMoltzar856]

Free speech and extremist speech is different

[@jordanslingluff287]

It is not.

[@userminemeallaboutmyself]

No it’s not
