1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,000 Speaker 1: Children across Australia. 2 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:04,600 Speaker 2: They woke up today with no access to their social 3 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:08,479 Speaker 2: media accounts those sixteen in under and it is the 4 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 2: first ban in the world of an entire age group 5 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 2: that is no longer able to access their social media 6 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,959 Speaker 2: and Ram Emmanuel, former Chicago mayor and former chief of 7 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 2: staff for Obama. He is now advocating that children in 8 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 2: the United States are not allowed to access social media 9 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 2: under the age of sixteen. He says, we either have 10 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 2: to choose adults or algorithms. 11 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 3: Well, look, there's no there is very I can't think 12 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 3: of a compelling reason that a child would need to 13 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 3: be on Facebook. I can't think of a compelling reason 14 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 3: a child would need to be on Twitter. Does anybody 15 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 3: you know anybody who spends any amount of time on 16 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,919 Speaker 3: any of those places. I'm guilty of this too, So 17 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 3: I'm indicting myself with this. Who walks away from it going. 18 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: That was a positive experience? You great, glad? 19 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 3: I did that right now. I do it for my job, 20 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 3: and you know, et cetera. We create content on social 21 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 3: media and then we use it for the show. But 22 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 3: I think it would be much better world if I 23 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,759 Speaker 3: didn't have to do that. I could get away from it, 24 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:16,320 Speaker 3: but I sort of load to However, I will say this, well, 25 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 3: I agree with him. People under the age of sixteen 26 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 3: have no business being on social media. Ultimately, isn't that 27 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 3: a job of a parent? Right? 28 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,479 Speaker 2: Do we need the government stepping in and creating legislation 29 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 2: no telling us how to parent? 30 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 3: No, no, no, of course not. And again it comes 31 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 3: back to we have a real problem in this country 32 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 3: deciding what the age of an adult is. It's sixteen 33 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,119 Speaker 3: for this, and it's eighteen for this, and it's twenty 34 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 3: one for this. That doesn't compute. Whatever your adult age 35 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 3: is is when you should be able to do all 36 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 3: of the adult things. And we need to say this 37 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 3: for years. We need to rectify that age of consent smoke, drink, vote, 38 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 3: drive a car, whatever we decide as a collective, all 39 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 3: of those things are. I'm largely okay with I think 40 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 3: we've probably come down in the number being eighteen. But 41 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 3: I got a real problem with people that they can't 42 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 3: choose to smoke a cigarette now in this country thanks 43 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 3: to the Duke of Spendingberg Todd Young, but they can 44 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 3: go to a foreign country and be sentenced to a horrible, 45 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 3: horrible death, and you can be sentenced to a horrible, 46 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 3: horrible death at the age of eighteen, But you you 47 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 3: can't drink a beer, right, Yeah, But then we say 48 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 3: at sixteen, you can't drink a beer till you're twenty one. 49 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 3: But at sixteen you can operate a multi ton heavy 50 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 3: piece of machinery that can harm not only yourself but 51 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 3: everybody around you. 52 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: See how that just does. 53 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 3: None of that ever is computed for me. 54 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: Yeah. 55 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 2: So earlier this year, back in January, you had senators 56 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 2: like Chris Murphy and Katie Britt and Ted Cruz. They 57 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 2: introduced a bill that would ban social media accounts for 58 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 2: children under thirty. So again, there's another there's another age 59 00:02:58,880 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 2: that's being thrown out. 60 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 3: What is the compelling reason that you would say my 61 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:03,959 Speaker 3: kid needs to be on Facebook? 62 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: Like, what can you think of one? 63 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 2: Now? 64 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 3: Now I'm not trying to be facetious. I'm asking this, 65 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 3: is there something I'm missing? 66 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: No, I don't think there's anything you missing. 67 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 2: This This would apply to Instagram, Facebook, thread, snapchat, YouTube, TikTok, kick, reddit. 68 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,519 Speaker 1: Twitch x, all of them. Yeah, exactly, there's a huge list. 69 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: Snitch the one thing that I could see happening I don't. 70 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 3: I have no idea what you just said. 71 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 2: It's almost like when you have a child born, do 72 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 2: you have to go and grab all their social media 73 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,399 Speaker 2: accounts and keep it with an email so that when 74 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 2: they are older they've got it to match their name. 75 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 3: No, you just never let them on. It's their problem 76 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 3: to become an adult.
