Speaker 5: pressure campaign to control Greenland, saying anything less than that

49
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 5: is completely unacceptable, and has not ruled out the use

50
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 5: of military force to take the Arctic island from her.

51
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,200

Speaker 5: Denmark trying to cool ten.

53
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're not going to, by the way, but go on.

54
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 4: We cannot allow this to become a partisan matter.

55
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 7: We just simply cannot do.

56
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,800

00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 5: Do the officials in Denmark and Greenland take President Trump's

59
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 5: threats seriously?

60
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 2: Very seriously?

61
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 6: In fact, they're alarmed. Danish political leaders are preparing for

62
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 6: the possibility that the United States, instead of being a

63
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 6: close and trusted ally, might become an adversary, and they're

64
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:35,280

Speaker 5: will not be blackmailed. France says no intimidation nor threat

67
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 5: will influence US. Those countries targeted with tariffs have sent

68
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 5: small groups of military forces to the island nation in

69
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 5: support of Denmark.

70
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: That's how you protests. Yeah, chants are necessary. Everybody has

74
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 2: it's always like one, two, three four. We're not gonna

75
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: take it anymore. I was gonna say it.

76
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,119
Speaker 3: The British come up of a new football chant every week.

77
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 2: They're amazing at football chance. Really, they shame the rest

78
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 2: of the world when it comes to that. They should

79
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 2: be working out some of these protest chants. But in

Speaker 8: Ye.

83
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 5: It comes as thousands march through the street of Copenhagen

84
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 5: today in protest, many waving Greenland's flag, holding signs reading

85
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 5: make America Smart again and hands off.

86
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 2: I'm kind of embarrassed. I didn't know Greenland's flag before now,

87
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 2: and it looks an awful lot like a bobber my

88
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 2: dad would have tied on my Mickey Mouse fishing pole

89
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 2: when I was a kid. I didn't realize that it's

90
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 2: kind of a red It's like a circle. One part

91
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 2: is red, the bottom, the other part is white.

92
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, and demonstrators brave the Cold and Greenland, making their

93
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 5: message to the president clear, we.

94
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 2: Are not interested in being Americans. Okay.

95
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 5: Now, President Trump insists the US needs Greenland for national

96
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 5: security reasons, citing activity from China and Russia.

97
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 2: So hmm, so the problem is China and Russia, and

98
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 2: in order to solve the problem, we'll attack Greenland.

99
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 5: Huh, the many experts in law there's no immediate threat,

100
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 5: pointing out the US already has the ability to increase

101
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 5: their military presence on the island through a long standing treaty.

102
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 2: Jenney, all right, thank you very much, appreciate that. ABC. No,

103
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 2: we're not gonna. We're not gonna. We're not gonna. They

104
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 2: ain't gonna. Let me keep hearing about. Oh well, you

105
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 2: know we've got to Russia and China are moving in,

106
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 2: and Russia and China are keeping an eye on and

107
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 2: Russia and China. If we don't take Greenland, Russia and

108
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 2: China will Oh my gosh, can you imagine Russia in

109
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 2: China attack Greenland? What would happen? I mean, it's not

110
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 2: like there's any sort of a North Atlantic treaty organization

111
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 2: that promises to help other nations if they're attacked by

112
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 2: people outside said organization. If Russia and China are saddling up,

113
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 2: then we have almost all of Europe and US in

114
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 2: Canada to step in. I don't. And this is what's happening. Look,

115
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 2: we know what this is about. It's not about national security, right,

116
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 2: it's not about national security. If it's national security, then

117
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 2: we then we then we go directly to the issue. Right. Instead,

118
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 2: we're the bullies on the playground trying to take the

119
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 2: lunch money, and Russia wants the same lunch money. China

120
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 2: wants the same lunch money, and that lunch money is minerals. Okay,

121
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 2: so here's what we're doing. We're going, Hey, the nerdy

122
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 2: wimpy kid has rich parents and they send him to

123
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 2: school every day with a twenty dollars bill for lunch, okay,

124
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 2: to buy school lunch. And we're going we want that

125
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 2: twenty dollars bill. But Russia says, we want a twenty

126
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 2: dollar bill to give it to us, or do we

127
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 2: send the MOUs squirrel? And China says, we want we

128
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 2: want a twenty dollars bill. I'm not gonna do a

129
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 2: Chinese accent. That's a good way to get fired. So

130
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 2: they so everybody wants to mug the wimpy rich kid.

131
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 2: That's what's going on now. Okay, it's all about the

132
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 2: minerals because the wimpy rich kid also has a bunch

133
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 2: of friends, a bunch of friends in a little group

134
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 2: called Nato. And these friends aren't as wimpy is the

135
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 2: is this kid and these friends, including us, who's actually

136
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 2: the biggest bully in the on the on the school yard.

137
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 2: We say, listen, Russia, if you if you try to

138
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 2: steal his lunch money, China, if you try to steal

139
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 2: at lunch money, We're gon we're gonna beat your ass.

140
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 2: We're all gonna get together, we're gonna gang up on you,

141
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 2: and it's gonna be a curb stomping except now we go.

142
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 2: Of course, if we did that, then the whimpy little

143
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 2: rich kid would hang on to that twenty dollars bill.

144
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 2: What if we just took the twenty dollars bill and

145
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 2: then nobody else could have it, it would just be ours.

146
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 2: So that's what's happening right now. But we're not going

147
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 2: to do that. We're not gonna just steal the twenty

148
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 2: from the kid, because the kid all along has said, look,

149
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 2: I got this twenty dollars bill. You can't have that,

150
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 2: but I'll let you have any as many snack packs

151
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 2: as you want. That's our military basis. Yeah, I've just

152
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 2: reduced our military mic to snack packs. That's exactly what

153
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 2: just happened. So we can as far as national security goes,

154
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 2: we have access to the Arctic Circle. We have one

155
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 2: base in Greenland right now. We've had others there in

156
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 2: the past. We had a nuclear facility there in the past.

157
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 2: We can put more military bases there. DENMARKUS said where

158
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 2: do you want them? Show us. You can put them

159
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 2: wherever you want. That's it. But this is about the minerals.

160
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 2: This is about the rare earth minerals in Greenland. That's

161
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 2: what all of it. Because if this were about national security,

162
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 2: we wouldn't just be stockpiling land. We would be addressing

163
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 2: the situation. We'd go, Okay, Russia, quit with your nonsense.

164
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 2: But we don't do that. If we wanted to, if

165
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 2: we wanted to take Russia head on, we've got a

166
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 2: proxy war. We could get into in Ukraine right now.

167
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 2: If we wanted to take China head on, we could

168
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 2: be defending Taiwan right now. But it's not about that.

169
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 2: It's about the minerals. But we're not gonna take military

170
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 2: action because the fallout would be far too devastating. The

171
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 2: ramifications would be far worse than any profit that we

172
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 2: could get from those minerals. The risk versus reward ratio

173
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 2: is not there for us. So the President is trying

174
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 2: to pull out all the stops in order to get

175
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 2: what he wants, short of actually putting boots on the ground, which,

176
00:09:55,120 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 2: by the way, happened in Iran. Indeed it did. I'll

177
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 2: tell you what he what happened in Iran, or rather

178
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 2: didn't happen in Actually I've been saying this wrong all week,

179
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 2: and I got corrected on this earlier this week in Iran.

180
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 2: I was saying Iran, it's Iran. My apologies. I don't

181
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 2: mean to mispronounce it. I'm just adult. So I will

182
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 2: tell you what didn't happen in Iran, and why it

183
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 2: didn't happen in Iran. That is next, as well as

184
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 2: why everyone has said I've had enough.

185
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: You're listening to Kfi am six forty on demand.

186
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 2: Virginia passed a law restricting kids to one hour a

187
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 2: day per social media app. So my question today, should

188
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 2: California do the same. We'll get to I've got some

189
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: thoughts on that coming up here here in about twenty minutes.

190
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: In the meantime, my friends, we were just talking about

191
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 2: to President Trump and his plans for Greenland. I don't

192
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 2: think he's going after Greenland. I don't think that's happening.

193
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 9: I can't wait until Trump takes over Greenland.

194
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 2: This is from the talkback.

195
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 9: All those pretty little houses that are painted going to

196
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 9: turn the place. You know, he's not. They're not going

197
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 9: to get the vote. They're not going to be a state. Jamaica,

198
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 9: Puerto Rico, Guam. That's what's going to turn into city

199
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 9: with probably very very little electricity in a poorer phone system.

200
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 2: Oh no, they got a poor phone system. How are

201
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 2: they going to hits up on the talkbacks? See what

202
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 2: I did there? I made it about me. My wife

203
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 2: says I do that all the time. I was just

204
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 2: glad she was talking about me. Meanwhile, the President had

205
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 2: a chance to do something in Iran and did not.

206
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 2: I didn't realize how close we were. I mean, it wasn't

207
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 2: exactly Cuban missile crisis situation, but it still wasn't great. So,

208
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 2: according to Axios reporting on Wednesday morning, dozens of top military, political,

209
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 2: and diplomatic officials in Washington and across the Middle East

210
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 2: believed US bombs would be dropping in Tehran within hours,

211
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 2: but by that afternoon it was clear the order was

212
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 2: not coming. President Trump had been leaning towards striking Iran

213
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 2: in their regime over the Violet crackdown of protesters, thousands

214
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 2: of whom are believed to have been killed, but with

215
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 2: insufficient military hardware in the region, of warnings from allies

216
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 2: like Israel and Saudi Arabia, concern among top aids about

217
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 2: the implications and effectiveness of the strike and what the

218
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 2: options were, and secret back channel talks with Iranians, he

219
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 2: chose not to pull the trigger, all right, So he

220
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 2: backed out. I don't think he's gonna do anything in

221
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 2: Greenland either, because what do you attack in Greenland? I

222
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 2: don't I don't know what the I don't know what

223
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 2: that would look like to send a military force to

224
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 2: take over Greenland. Do you just send in troops who

225
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 2: stop by coffee shops and say hi to people until

226
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 2: someone tells you to leave. I don't I don't know

227
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 2: what that would look like. So I don't think it's happening.

228
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 2: I don't think it's happening. But we are seeing something

229
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 2: very unique happening in our country. There's a new Gallup pullout.

230
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 2: It says that there are a record share of Americans

231
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 2: that are calling themselves political independents. Younger generations are driving

232
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 2: much of the shift. That's not great for the Republicans,

233
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 2: who had been making massive inroads with gen zs. Gen

234
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 2: Z may have been what tilted the election for President Trump.

235
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 2: I would say gen Z and the Hispanic vote were

236
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 2: huge for President Trump in the last election. Those are

237
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 2: places that the GOP was focusing hard and heavy on

238
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 2: because those our voting blocks, younger demographics and minority voters

239
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 2: almost without fail, you know, overwhelmingly favoring Democrats. This last election,

240
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 2: they did not, They didn't overwhelmingly favorite Democrats, and many

241
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 2: of those those demographics actually shifted more than fifty percent

242
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 2: or at least a plurality over to the Republicans. So

243
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 2: it's not great for the Republicans right now that you've

244
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 2: got people saying I'm out, I'm politically independent, But honestly,

245
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 2: it's not great for the Democrats either.

246
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 10: This for maybecilly thank you as we change our focus

247
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 10: next here tonight at a brand new Gallup poll that

248
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 10: dropped this week reveals, for the first time ever, a

249
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 10: record forty five percent of Americans now say that they

250
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 10: are political independents, more than Republicans and more than Democrats combined.

251
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 11: Wow.

252
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 2: More than Republicans and Democrats combined. So that means that

253
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 2: they both have fewer than twenty two and a half

254
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 2: percent roughly. Wow. So what is really driving these numbers?

255
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 10: Here's part of my conversation this week with political science

256
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 10: expert doctor Bo.

257
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 2: Kabala Mo Kabala.

258
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 10: Gen Z millennials even Gen X is my generation, overwhelmingly

259
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 10: identify as independents. What does that say about the future

260
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 10: of party loyalty and American politics?

261
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and what does it do to their donations going forward?

262
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 10: Loyalty he's an even factor into the equation or is

263
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 10: that a fairy tale? Because at the end of the day,

264
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 10: who cares who you're loyal to? You're going to vote?

265
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 2: Well, you just let him answer the question.

266
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 10: Based on what the choices are in front of you,

267
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 10: and a lot of times, or at least the last

268
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 10: few cycles, I know a lot of people just again antidotally,

269
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 10: that held their nose and voted for one candidate or

270
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 10: the other.

271
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 2: Oh god, I hate it when interviewers do that. Look

272
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 2: I do it too, but just ask the question. Don't

273
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 2: clarify that, just ask the question. I hate that. Sure,

274
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, this guy is not even joking. This

275
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 2: political expert that ABC News is talking to is sitting

276
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 2: at the breakfast bar to Motel six. There is a

277
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 2: Motel six sign behind him on a zoom call. This

278
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 2: is incredible. Agree with that. I appreciate that you're remember

279
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 2: when they used to have an expert and they had

280
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 2: to be in studio where you had to go take

281
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 2: a camera care out. Now it's like, hey, do you

282
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 2: have a place that we can zoom with you. They're like, yeah,

283
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 2: no problem, I met the Motel six. Cool. Agree with that.

284
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 8: I appreciate that you're using that word loyalty because I

285
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 8: think whatever one thinks about him, President Trump, in my opinion,

286
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 8: has sort of staved off or put on hold the

287
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 8: emergence of this third party moment because there's so many

288
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 8: voters who remain loyal to him, and even if he's

289
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 8: not advocating traditional Republican policies, voters stay loyal to him.

290
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 8: But let me say along the lines of the younger

291
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 8: voter dynamic that you're mentioning. Why I think the time

292
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 8: might be especially for a third party challenge now is

293
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 8: just because of the way the parties themselves have changed

294
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 8: in the last twenty to thirty years. Political science is

295
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 8: distinguished typically between ideological and distributive parties.

296
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 2: All right, you're getting into the weeds here, ideological and

297
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 2: distributive parties. Oh, and then he goes on to talk

298
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 2: about how other countries who follow these ideologies have trouble

299
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 2: attracting the big tent. You hear people talk about the

300
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 2: big tent. Everyone's welcome into our tent. And that is

301
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 2: because your ideologies can be somewhat flexible as long as

302
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 2: you have a common goal of raising money for the parties.

303
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 2: And so he's talking about third parties and other countries

304
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 2: have the you know, third four or five major parties. Oh,

305
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 2: and that's what's going to happen here. No, it's not. No,

306
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 2: it's not because our parties have complete control over the

307
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 2: entire apparatus. They're not allowing somebody else to sneak in

308
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 2: and take their money. So no, third party talk is nonsense.

309
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 2: It's not happening. But it is interesting to see people

310
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 2: saying I don't want to register one way or another.

311
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 2: I kind of love that, and that should be assigned

312
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 2: to the parties. That your ideologies are becoming too inflexible

313
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 2: for many of you. You're listening to me right now

314
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 2: and you're like, oh, no, it's not an ideology. No,

315
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 2: that's how party. Parties are, not ideologies. Parties are an

316
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 2: apparatus to win elections. That's what parties are. And then

317
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 2: that's why they have to vote on their planks every

318
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 2: four years so that they go, oh, what do we

319
00:17:54,800 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 2: believe this four years? Otherwise they are a system that

320
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 2: doesn't change, and if it doesn't change, then it expires.

321
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 2: Parties change ideologies all the time, and so to people

322
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 2: because they are beholden to the R and the D,

323
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 2: not to their ideologies. That's the dirty little secret in America.

324
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 2: We don't actually believe those things our parties tell us.

325
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 2: We believe. We believe in following the parties because they

326
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 2: told us to, which is why so many are saying

327
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 2: I'm independent. Now, I gotta shift away from politics because, frankly, Dick,

328
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 2: your kids are glued to their phones. They almost seem

329
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 2: proud of it. Turns out a lot of them want

330
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 2: the phones gone. Why teens are backing classroom bands is next?

331
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 2: I'm Chris Maryland.

332
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

333
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 2: I asked the question. We'll get to the story here

334
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 2: in about ten minutes or so. Virginia passed a law

335
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 2: that restricts kids to one hour a day for social

336
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 2: media app? Should California do the same and anything else

337
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 2: you've got too, You want to hit us up on

338

Speaker 2: Have he's in the hospital. On my way to the

Speaker 2: Commalsson hospital. Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. I hope,

346
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:24,080

Speaker 12: And I'm dying.

348
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 3: I'm laughing so hard.

Speaker 10: You made my day.

350
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:34,439

Speaker 2: going to do.

352
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: He send Moose and Squirrel.

00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:38,439

357
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 2: for it. That's great, that's great. Thank you so much. Anyway,

358
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 2: hit us up questions, comments, quips, quotes, criticisms, compliments, and

359
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 2: you can always answer the question to California, do the

360
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 2: same as Virginia passing a lot that restricts kids to

361
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 2: one hour a day on social media? Would it even work?

362
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 2: You know? There were questions about whether Australia's cell phone

363
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 2: band would work or excuse me, social media band would work.

364
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 2: Anyone under sixteen is supposed to ditch social media, and

365
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 2: there was a question about kids just figuring out a

366
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 2: way around it, and some of them did, yeah. Look,

367
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 2: it is really easy to get a VPN. You can do.

368
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 2: You can do one on your phone for a couple

369
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 2: bucks a month or I think even cloud Flair I

370
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 2: think might have one for free. And when you do that,

371
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 2: like I have, I have Norton right, and I use

372
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 2: a VPN so that people don't know where I am.

373
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 2: I don't know, I've just been told it's safer, so

374
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 2: I use the VPN and I can choose where I

375
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 2: want it to look like I'm coming from. So the

376
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 2: thinking is that kids are gonna be able to do

377
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 2: the same thing, and they're just gonna set up a

378
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 2: VPN Virtual Private network, and then it's gonna look like

379
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 2: they're not in Australia, They're coming from somewhere else and

380
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 2: now they're going to access social media. Right and in

381
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 2: the United States, this is happening in a number of states.

382
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 2: And this is gonna sound crass because it is. But

383
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 2: you've got a bunch of states that have said, oh,

384
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 2: we're gonna we're gonna mandate identification for pornographic websites or

385
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 2: websites that have so much of their content over a

386
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 2: certain threshold as pornographic, which means that kids can still

387
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 2: go on X and see pornography, they just can't go

388
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 2: on porn hub. Okay, so what do we do. Ah,

389
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 2: we took care of elon Musk. But then we're, oh,

390
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 2: we're doing the mortally right thing. So what are kids

391
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:41,239
Speaker 2: in Utah doing. They're claiming that they're in Colorado or

392
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 2: Nevada or somewhere else. That's it. That's it. They just

393
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 2: they just figure out a way around it. They go,

394
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:56,360
Speaker 2: I'm not in Utah, I'm in Nevada, Nevada, Nevada. I'm

395
00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 2: not in uh Utah. I'm in Nevada, Nevada. The kick

396
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 2: the bit is so that's I mean, that seem gobbyous.

397
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 2: But now we're finding out that there have been almost

398
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 2: five million social media users that have deleted their accounts

399
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 2: in Australia. So those they're just getting wiped out, they're

400
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 2: just not they're not doing it, they're not using it.

401
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 2: And I would even go so far as to perhaps

402
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 2: argue that the reason is for many of the utes

403
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 2: in Australia, the law gave them an excuse not to

404
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 2: log in. In other words, they didn't use social media

405
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 2: NonStop because they wanted to. They used social media NonStop

406
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 2: because they felt like they had to in order to

407
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 2: fit in. And what happens is their friends are doing

408
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 2: the same thing and they have to do it in

409
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 2: order to fit in, and I have to do it,

410
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 2: and I have to do it. And did you see

411
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 2: what's so and so posted? Did you see what's so posted?

412
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 2: My god, I have to be there. I'm missing out,

413
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 2: but they didn't really like it, and I would even

414
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 2: argue that that is the case with many of them,

415
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,719
Speaker 2: which is why NBC News get a story about how

416
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 2: kids are looking at cell phone bands.

417
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 13: On average, teens in the United States spend more than

418
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 13: eight hours a day on screens. Stopping kids from binging

419
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 13: social media is something parents, lawmakers, and experts can agree on.

420
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 14: Gen Z is the first generation of modern history to

421
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 14: underperform us on basically every cognitive measure we have, from

422
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 14: basic attention to memory, to literacy, to numeracy to executive

423
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 14: functioning to even general IQ hah dummies.

424
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 2: Now, remember correlation does not equal causation. So we're saying

425
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 2: that the screens are making the kids dumber. They may be,

426
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 2: but also we've got piphas in our semen. Now, so

427
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 2: what are we going to say that from development on?

428
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,959
Speaker 2: It's not our fault for basically giving our kids bogus

429
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 2: seeds to start with. I'm blaming the dudes, but let's

430
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 2: face it, your eggs are a little soft as well. Ladies,

431
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 2: even no school than we did.

432
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 13: It's why eleven states restrict miners from using social media,

433
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 13: Eighteen states and DC banned cell phone use in schools,

434
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 13: and Australia is the first and only country to ban

435
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 13: social media for kids under sixteen.

436
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, the last thing we want is for them to

437
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 2: do criminal activity in Australia, which is a penal colony.

438
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:25,719
Speaker 13: But that's not the case nationwide.

439
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 15: In the US, my generation is enslaved by the depression

440
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 15: they are caused, the anxiety they are caused, the harm

441
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 15: that is being caused to them by their devices.

442
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 2: As a fourteen year old speaking and sounding like she

443
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 2: was programmed to say exactly.

444
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 13: That, lawmakers have introduced dozens of bills designed to protect

445
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 13: kids online and limit screen time, but no meaningful legislation

446
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 13: has passed. It's why this morning Senator Ted Cruz convened

447
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 13: to hearing examining the impact of technology on American kids.

448
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 16: The senators are engaged on this issue and care about it.

449
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 16: All of us are about the same age. We all

450
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 16: have kids that are either in grade school or high school.

451
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 16: But we're dealing with these pressures at home. Any parent

452
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 16: at home with a kid who has a phone is

453
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 16: dealing with it, is struggling, needs more tools.

454
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 2: Okay, So Ted Cruz, by all means conservative, GOP Republican

455
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 2: is talking about more government to help the parents out.

456
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 2: I'm not saying it's a bad idea, but remember our

457
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 2: conversation the last segment about ideologies are not what make parties.

458
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 2: There you go, and actually it's a popular stance that

459
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 2: he's taking. They go, look, we can't we need the

460
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 2: government's help. Although I bet if you ask those same parents,

461
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 2: at least in Texas, do you need the government's help

462
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 2: of parenting your child, they would all unanimously say no.

463
00:25:55,640 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 2: But when it comes to cell phones, yes, kids, I've

464
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 2: got your solution. If you are afraid of mom and

465
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 2: dad taking the phone away, just tell them that the

466
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 2: government is considering passing a cell phone vaccination law and

467
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 2: then wow, hands off my cell phone, buddy, Texans won't

468
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:23,640
Speaker 2: stand for it. You can't vaccinate my cell phone. Don't

469
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 2: do it, you know. Pew pewp pew from the talk back.

470
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 2: So maybe I misheard.

471
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 9: Is at an hour a day during the school period, Oh,

472
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 9: because we just have a homeroom, but that would be

473
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 9: more like zone room.

474
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 2: Ah No, the Virginia law. I'm gonna tell you more

475
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 2: about this here in just a second too. Virginia law

476
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 2: restricts kids to one hour per day per social media app,

477
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 2: not just in school one hour per day at any

478
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 2: time during the day. Wait until you hear what they're

479
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 2: doing and why. At first I was hesitant about this,

480
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 2: but I'm coming around on it. That is next Chris Merril,

481
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,719
Speaker 2: you're listening to KFI A M six forty on demand.

482
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 2: I Leen on her way out, Brisita on her way in.

483
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 2: Iileen love working with Aileen. Every week I go to

00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:20,720

485
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 2: and I apologize. I didn't realize that you were in

486
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 2: such a bad spot every week, but Ollie told me

487
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 2: that pretty much in the evenings. Once uh, once my

488
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 2: show is done, and then and then once you know,

489
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 2: once once Wendy has done that it's basically just you

490
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 2: two here. That is that creepy? Just you and Allie

491
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 2: hanging out together? Is that just in the studio? That's

492
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 2: just seeming.

493
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 3: I love Ali. In fact, he might not be here

494
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 3: for the next few weeks and I will just be

495
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:49,000

Speaker 2: going on. He's gone said, get him out of here.

498
00:27:58,119 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 2: How does that work? Do you have like a work visa?

00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:00,639

Speaker 2: Will you wait for the mail to show up?

511
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 2: Is this normal? Is it just like a processing thing

512
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 2: that goes goes on.

513
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 11: This is just because it took so long for my

514
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 11: just application to get out. There were just so many

515
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 11: delays with like realless and everything. Yeah, and on my end,

516
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 11: how often do you have to put this? Okay, three years,

517
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 11: every three years, every three years?

518
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 2: Okay, I got you? All right, Well I'm sorry to

519
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 2: hear that because I've I've grown uh, I've grown fond

520
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 2: of you in our time together. Yeah that boy, I

521
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 2: like that. There you go, don't get attached. It's the

522
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 2: same thing I told my kids too, you know, we

523
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 2: uh we had a farm for a while, and we'd

524
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 2: have we'd bring in the lambs, and the kids would

525
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 2: love the lambs and they'd hug on the lambs, and

526
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 2: I'd say, don't get to attached.

527
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 17: Yeah, we already lost Rabul yep, few others along the way, Yep,

528
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 17: I'm going.

529
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 2: And then we get attached. And then all of a sudden,

530
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 2: you know, the next thing, you know, where's uh, where's

531
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 2: our favorite little lamb, Matilda the lamb? And I would

532
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 2: have to say to the kids, she went to another

533
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 2: farm where she could run free, enjoy your chops. And

534
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 2: so that's why I told the kids, never get attached.

535
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 2: So I don't get attached. Chris, No, I like that.

536
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 2: You're not getting attached to me because you never know

537
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 2: what the future holds. That's smart, You're very smart man.

538
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,719
Speaker 2: Don't get attached. All right. I've been teasing this all

539
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 2: night long because I'm fascinated by what Virginia's doing. Virginia

540
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 2: passed a law that said, no, kids, you can't be

541
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 2: on social media all day long hours from NBC four

542
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 2: Washington DC. Hours of doom scrolling.

543
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 12: Social media will have a time limit starting in twenty

544
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 12: twenty six for anyone in Virginia under the age of sixteen.

545
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 12: A new law goes into effect that requires social media

546
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 12: companies limit kids usage to one hour each day.

547
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 2: Wow, not just in school, one hour each day.

548
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 11: I've been exposed to a lot on social media, and

549
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 11: I've learned to restrict myself, and I think it's very healthy.

550
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 2: Oh, these kids are the worst. Who's going to talk

551
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 2: to the news guy about social media. It's always gonna

552
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 2: be the guy that's like, yes, I am very mature.

553
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 2: I restrict my I practice restraint, and I found the

554
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 2: health benefit's to be astonishing. No, show me the fourteen

555
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 2: year old who's crying right now. That's what I want

556
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 2: to see. I want to say, the fourteen year old's

557
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 2: bawling at her soup because she's like, they're taking my

558
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 2: snapchat away. That's a good interview, not the dorky seventeen

559
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 2: year old.

560
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 12: Hemn is seventeen, and News four talked with him with

561
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 12: his parents standing beside, because he says, on one hand,

562
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 12: social media is in his opinion, the greatest development in

563
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 12: the twenty first century, but he's also personally.

564
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, forget AI, forget what that's gonna do. It's social media.

565
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 12: He's also personally felt a harmful downside. The new law

566
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 12: in Virginia requires social media companies to verify the ages

567
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 12: of account holder.

568
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 2: Wait what was this person? Wait a minute, kind of

569
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 2: gloss right over that? Right, go back to that? What

570
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 2: did he say?

571
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 12: The greatest development in the twenty first century? But but

572
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 12: he's also personally felt a harmful downside?

573
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 2: Okay, what is it? He's personally felt? Okay, what is it? Then?

574
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe gets to do it later on?

575
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 2: Here is that a tease? Because that's terrible. He's personally

576
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 2: felt a harmful downside, Like like, what was he? Was

577
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 2: he catfished? Was it a Chris Hansen situation where there's

578
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 2: somebody was coming over to his house with a bag

579
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 2: of lollipops and condoms? What was the harmful downside that

580
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 2: he experienced?

581
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 12: The new law in Virginia require social media companies to

582
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 12: verify the ages of account holders, and anyone under sixteen

583
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 12: will be restricted to just one hour each day on

584
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:18,479
Speaker 12: apps like Instagram or TikTok Wow. Instagram and Facebook's parent company,

585
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 12: Meta has a page that explains its.

586
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 2: Age verification process. Okay, and what is that?

587
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 12: A group that lobbies on behalf of social media companies

588
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 12: is trying to stop the law.

589
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 2: The group no, social media companies don't want to lose

590
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 2: their customer base, the same customer base that they can

591
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 2: get addicted at a young age and then continue to

592
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 2: shove advertising in front of for the next fifty years.

593
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 2: That shocks me.

594
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 12: The group is called net Choice and it filed a

595
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 12: lawsuit here in federal court in Alexandria just last month.

596
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 12: It makes a few arguments. Number one, it claims that

597
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 12: the law is a violation of the social media company's

598
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 12: First Amendment rights, and it also claims that the law

599
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 12: is too broad and doesn't point to any specific harms

600
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 12: that social media might cause kids.

601
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, remember, correlation doesn't equal causation, so we have to

602
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 2: show a direct causation, which I think a number of

603
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 2: studies are coming out about that now.

604
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 7: But just the same, everybody knows that social media is

605
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 7: an issue.

606
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty three, do you someone to know what

607
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 2: happened with that seventeen year old plus?

608
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 12: Surgeon General issued an advisory about the impacts of social

609
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 12: media on teens. While it found some benefits, it also

610
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,479
Speaker 12: found that adolescents who spent more than three hours per

611
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 12: day on social media faced double the risk of experiencing

612
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 12: poor mental health outcomes, including symptoms of depression and anxiety.

613
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 2: Is that what happened to the seventeen year old that

614
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 2: you interviewed earlier and said he's felt the harmful side

615
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 2: effects personally? Because you didn't tell us.

616
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 12: Psychiatrist doctor Ava Gaman Dooms says she's seen the effects

617
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 12: firsthand in patience clinically.

618
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 7: There was a reason for this law, right. I don't

619
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 7: necessarily know that this law is going to be the.

620
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 2: Solution ooh, stuck and smack them law to this, but I.

621
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 7: Think it's a starting point for our conversation.

622
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 12: The law gives parents like this mother the option of

623
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 12: using parental controls to extend their kids time beyond.

624
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 2: The one hour time limit.

625
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 3: I think we have to be cautious.

626
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 2: Reporting in Northern Virginia. You never told me what happened

627
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 2: with the seventeen year old. Oh, he's personally felt the

628
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:26,760
Speaker 2: effects of social media? Okay, what were they never told us? Meanwhile,

629
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 2: the Virginia law says that, yeah, parents can increase the

630
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 2: screen time for their own ratty kids. Of course you do,

631
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 2: because let's be honest, sometimes you just need a break

632
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 2: from your kids, and it's really easy to just go

633
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:43,720
Speaker 2: just hear scroll for a few hours. Mommy needs some xanax.

634
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 2: You just scroll. I totally get that. Virginia, you got kids.

635
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 2: How often do you How often do you have to

636
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 2: distract the children?

637
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 3: Oh she's almost four, so I have to distract her

638
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 3: a lot.

639
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. What is your go to for distracting her?

640
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:58,879
Speaker 3: Well depends what am I distracting her from.

641
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 2: I missed just anything in order to keep for your sanity,

642
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 2: Oh everything, I mean, I just needs. Yeah, mommy needs

643
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:09,959
Speaker 2: her purpose set in red wine.

644
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 3: I really do. But she is She's persistent, so it's hard.

645
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 17: She gets like a loop. This is the age where

646
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,240
Speaker 17: they just get a loop and have a lot of tantrums.

647
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 17: See my Oh yeah, yeah, distractions don't work.

648
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 2: Don't work so much. Yeah, my kids, it was just

649
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 2: you know, they were It was the early two thousands.

650
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 2: I came into their lives because I got I got

651
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 2: three used kids. So for us it was still we

652
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 2: could still do like the TV, and then it became

653
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 2: video game. They all wanted video games, and I hated

654
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:40,399
Speaker 2: putting them in front of video games.

655
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 17: But give her TV sometimes, I do you do Oh yeah,

656
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 17: I mean have to do you ever stick an iPad

657
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 17: in front of her?

658
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 8: No?

659
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 3: Not yet?

660
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 2: No, okay, good, don't don't do that. Don't do that, Yeah,

661
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 2: don't if you could avoid it. I thought, should we

662
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 2: do this long California? And I thought, Yep, we should

663
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 2: because I think think based on what you've heard in

664
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 2: previous segments, which if you missed him, you can grab

665
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:04,919
Speaker 2: them on the podcast. After the show is over, there'll

666
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 2: be other featured podcast section of KFI AM six forty

667
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 2: dot com. There are a number of kids who don't

668
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 2: necessarily want to be on social media that are actually

669
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 2: in favor of these cell phone bands in schools and elsewhere.

670
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,359
Speaker 2: And I think that what we saw in Australia gave

671
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 2: at least five million kids in Australia an opportunity to

672
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 2: log off. And honestly, I think some of them were

673
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 2: kind of welcoming it, And if they weren't welcoming it

674
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 2: to begin with, I bet it only took about a

675
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 2: week or two to break that addiction and then they go, Okay,

676
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 2: you know what, this is better. And so I like

677
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 2: the idea of limiting the kids. I do think there

678
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 2: will be a number of them that figure out a

679
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 2: way around it, and that could be VPNs. And the

680
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 2: law is dependent on the social media applications geo fencing

681
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 2: and then blocking after an hour. So if they're on

682
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 2: Snapchat after an hour, Snapchat that's gonna shut them off, Well,

683
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 2: then they're just gonna Instagram for an hour, then they'll

684
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 2: go to Facebook for an hour, then they'll go to

685
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 2: TikTok for an hour. This could be good for places

686
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 2: like Facebook because gen Z doesn't like Facebook. That's for

687
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,280
Speaker 2: us old fuddy duddies. I don't even like Facebook.

688
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 3: I don't either.

689
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 2: I'm too young for Facebook and I'm in my late forties.

690
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 2: You know who uses Facebook? My wife, she's old. I

691
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 2: tell her that too. She even admitted to that. She says,

692
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 2: I use Facebook. I'm basically a boomer. I know, yeah,

693
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 2: you are. I don't even know you anymore. Gross. So

694
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 2: this could be good for Facebook where gen Z. If

695
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 2: there are some that just need their fix a little longer,

696
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 2: they can bounce to Facebook. That may be beneficial to

697
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 2: them just the same. I do think it's a start.

698
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 2: I'm not crazy about the laws having to be written

699
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 2: because parents aren't doing their jobs, but honestly, there are

700
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 2: times in American history where that had to happen, and

701
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 2: seat belts comes to mind. There's a new report out

702
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 2: that talks about where the big money and TV development

703
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 2: is going. Fun fact, all that big money is coming

704
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 2: from you, which means you are about to take it

705
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 2: in the shorts yet again. How much is it going

706
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 2: to cost you? Is next? There's no business like shell business.
