transfer, or sharing of american personal data to governments like china, russia, north korea, and iran, without explicit consent from the individual. now, for weeks proponents of the house-passed bill to force the sale of tiktok, legislation included in the package we're debating, have told us that this legislation is vital to protecting the security of americans' data. the reality, however, is far more complicated. indeed, forcing the sale of tiktok through that legislation won't itself secure the data of users. ins instead, it will simply allow another company to purchase tiktok and do with their users' data what they may. only by changing the underlying law and preventing companies from handing over americans' information to our adversaries can congress secure the personal information of every american. and my amendment applauds to do just that -- my amendment aims to do just that. instead of a game of whack-a-mole where we allow ourselves to be distracted by whatever company happens to be making headlines at the moment, my amendment would implement a comprehensive prohibition on an

lenny, when the iran deal was reached in the summer of 2015, for instance, aipac announced they were going to spend $40 million to defeat it and they mobilized a lot of infrastructure to pressure democratic members of congress. they could have killed the deal if they had gotten a few democratic votes. one of the things we did is we turned to the broader progressive infrastructure and we said when these members of congress go back, here are the arguments that you can bring to town halls. i actually think one of the things -- obama did not do everything right by any stretch of the imagination, but he did try to enlist young people. that whole campaign was predicated on basically having thousands of young people in their 20's were going to knock on doors and try to convince their balance -- parents. nobody asks young people to do anything in politics other than vote. and young people are onto that. you just cannot ignore me and then show up in the summer and tell me, you better vote for me because this other guy is much worse. that politics does not work anymore. so i think if you truly
