1
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: It's a Scott's Loan show on seven hundred Will every

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: Thanks for checking us out on air, online and in

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,159
Speaker 1: your hand, in your mobile, we the iHeartRadio app. Take

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: us wherever you go, switch over to headphones and we

5
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: portable like that baby. I think we might be missing

6
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 1: the big picture when it comes to AI data centers,

7
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: uh semiconductor industry, you know with then Tell and all that,

8
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: and I know that stalled a little bit.

9
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 2: But big picture, though, is, despite all.

10
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: The environmental and electricity worries, what about restoring American greatness

11
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: relative to technology, relative to manufacturing and in a different

12
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: way than our previous generations did it. I'm talking, of

13
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: course about Ohio now the fifth largest host of AI

14
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 1: data centers, and that looks to be growing. Are we

15
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: missing because of our fears and not unwarranted fears? I

16
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: think they're legitimate, But I missed the big picture when

17
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: it comes to expanding the job space here in Ohio,

18
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: which is sorely needed. In the show this morning is

19
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: Doug Kelly from Columbus. He is CEO of something called

20
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,479
Speaker 1: the American Edge Project that deals with us. Doug, welcome back, Howray,

21
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: Thanks Scott, how are you I'm doing fine. The reason

22
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: why most of the civilized world speaks English because it

23
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 1: is the business of language and the business that we created.

24
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:22,279
Speaker 1: American entrepreneurship industry created that environment. Dollar is the standard currency,

25
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: the reserve currency.

26
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 2: Right.

27
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: How important is it to continue to lean on tech

28
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: in order to continue that and put it into context

29
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: with the congressional plan now with TikTok where they're going

30
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: to make an American health company and kind of use

31
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: that as a front.

32
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 3: Well, just a back one second, and let's look at

33
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 3: the importance of technology in our overall daily lives. Right.

34
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 3: So tech isn't just another sector of the economy, right,

35
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 3: it is a very backbone of our national security or

36
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 3: economy and the advancement of values that we really care about,

37
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 3: free expression and letting your voice be heard. So the

38
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 3: challenge is when Congress talks about regulating technology, it can't

39
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 3: paint with a very broad brush. Right, there's things that

40
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 3: it can do that can either help our ability to

41
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 3: innovate and compete against China, or are the things they

42
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 3: can do that can fundamentally damage our ability to remain

43
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 3: the technological leader in the world. They've passed that chips

44
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 3: and science build, which is going to help bring more

45
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 3: manufacturing and semi conductor chips the United States. It'll create

46
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 3: technology hubs. It will also increase funding for STEM education.

47
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 3: So that's an example of a really good thing that

48
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 3: Congress are doing to help our ability to innovate.

49
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, I think that's important too, because

50
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: there is a lot of bad. There's a lot of

51
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: negative with this, and that is that our enemies have

52
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: learned to poison up ourselves. You know, a lot us

53
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: poison ourselves basically, which has always been the goal. That's

54
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: you know, the fallow role. I'm destroyed from within. A

55
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: lot of people predict that for the United States of America.

56
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: I think we always find a way to write the

57
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: ship though, right, We don't go away. We figure out

58
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: how to adapt and we move on. We're really good

59
00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: at that.

60
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 3: That's right. I mean, that's the heart of the American

61
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 3: genius is our ability to innovate and adjust as circumstances come.

62
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 3: So one of our concerns is that some of the

63
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 3: bills that Congress is talking about passing are things that

64
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 3: would undermine our ability as a country to innovate, and

65
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 3: particularly they would target America's most innovative technology companies. Now

66
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 3: these companies, yeah, they run social media platforms, they make

67
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 3: hardware and software. But what a lot of people don't

68
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 3: know is that the biggest technology companies in the US

69
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 3: are also the biggest investors and the most important strategic

70
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 3: technologies that we're battling with against kind of so artificial intelligence,

71
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 3: robotics on them, computing, these are all the technologies that

72
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 3: are going to determine who leads in the future. And

73
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 3: so as Congress wants to clamp down on those companies,

74
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 3: it's going to hurt our ability to invest in those areas,

75
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 3: to develop and master those technologies, and it's going to

76
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 3: hand over to China an edge that we're not going

77
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 3: to get back, just like what happened with manufacturing.

78
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: Well in another edge too, we get back to Afghanistan

79
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: and the fall there and how middle will rich that

80
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: country is now that China has control of that or

81
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: Russia as control or whatever. Now, now, where are we

82
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: going to get these Where are we going to get

83
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: the precious natural resources in order to make the chips

84
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: that you're talking about. That that's you know, we talk

85
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: about how important that is, but I think that fits

86
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: into what you're discussing here because the topic of rare

87
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 1: earth minerals is now front and center.

88
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're exactly right. I mean, you know, at the

89
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 3: end of the day, we are in this competition in China,

90
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 3: and it's okay, who can build the most microchips, who

91
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 3: can have the most innovation. China knows that innovation is

92
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 3: its weak spot, right. They're good at copying and reverse

93
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 3: engineering things, but their challenge is innovation, and they've invested

94
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 3: a lot of money to boost their innovation. So at

95
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 3: the end of the day, the US has to do

96
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 3: things that accelerates our ability to innovate, and that includes

97
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 3: things like freeing up our biggest innovators, making smart investment

98
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 3: in building core critical technologies here. Now, there's certain things

99
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 3: that can be done to you know, where the pressure

100
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 3: and pain points come where technology hits politics and society.

101
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 3: There's certainly regulations could be done there, right, Connors should

102
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 3: pass a privacy policies so people understand what their data

103
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 3: is being used for, what control they have over So

104
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 3: there's certainly smart things that can be done there. But

105
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 3: some of the things they're talking about in Washington right

106
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,239
Speaker 3: now just under minor ability to innovate, and they actually

107
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 3: don't solve the problems that people are feeling.

108
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: You know, Trump for the well second time now there's

109
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: a new sheriff in town. Wasn't long ago where he

110
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: had dignitaries in the United States go to places like

111
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 1: Taiwan and try and build relationships with US. Rank in

112
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: that connection to the United States and Tiuan because they're

113
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: responsible for all the stuff we're talking about right now.

114
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: We make a very small percentage, like twelve percent of

115
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: those semiconductor products right now, so they're an important ally.

116
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: We can't give that up.

117
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 3: You are spot on what that's got. I mean in

118
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 3: the nineties when semiconduct were invented, right, American manufactured most

119
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 3: of them. Now we manufacture just twelve percent, with the

120
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 3: bulk of the most sophisticated chips being made in Taiwan,

121
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 3: which is just one hundred miles away from China. And

122
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 3: if China made a move on Taiwan that was fundamentally

123
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 3: Do you think the COVID supply chain attruction was big,

124
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 3: that would be enormous. Yeah, And so you know, we

125
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 3: have to be able to make sure that we're making

126
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 3: in our own backyard as well, and at the same time,

127
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 3: we have to do actions that checked China's ambitions, both

128
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 3: from a technology sign but also from a little bloy ambition.

129
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: In regards to Doug Kelly, CEO American Edge Project on

130
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: the show on seven hundred WLW, you're right there in Columbus.

131
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: You're going to see this huge Intel plant and essentially

132
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: town that is built to make semiconductors right here in Ohio.

133
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: What's that mean for the state in America as well?

134
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: I mean, that seems to be a huge step forward.

135
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 1: We talk about the lack of manufacturing in America, but

136
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: this is high tech manufacturing, good for jobs and how

137
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: to be sure, but in TOEP putting having a big

138
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: footprint right here in Ohio let alone, the United States

139
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: also is kind of what you're talking about here, and

140
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: that is sounds like the United States, we're trying to

141
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: increase our share of that market.

142
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, it's going to be great news for

143
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 3: Ohio and all the Midwest. First of all, you know

144
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 3: when I talk about unintended consequences of bills that Congress

145
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 3: may pass, right, you know, twenty years ago Condress did

146
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 3: some things on manufacturing that kind of slowly led manufacturing

147
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 3: jobs over twenty years, many of them exported to China.

148
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 3: And so one thing we don't want to have happen

149
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 3: with the bills that Congress is talking about is unintended

150
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 3: consequences that hurt our ability to manufacture and innovate on

151
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 3: the technology side. And so the passage of this chip

152
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 3: bill is going to bring new jobs, three thousand new

153
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 3: jobs into Ohio just that plant. But at the same time,

154
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 3: when you have like they're building construction trades and the

155
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 3: other people have to build these facilities, those are going

156
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 3: to be even more jobs there. So it's a huge

157
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 3: multiplier effect in building our own technology here.

158
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: Doug Kelly and Columbus CEO of the American Edge Project,

159
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: which is pushing more and more tech, and you know,

160
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: we've got Intel at some point, I think third twenty

161
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: thirty one, as I saw when they opened the plant

162
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: near Columbus you're talking about. But you know, the AI

163
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: data centers and everything else in Ohio is fifth in

164
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: the country when it comes to those data centers, which

165
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: I think is awesome, and there's some concerns there too.

166
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: You know, we talk about the environmental we talked about electricity,

167
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: the power and the grid. I talk about that a

168
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: lot too, and it's conld put a bigger drain on

169
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: the system, but you build more infrastructures supposed to just

170
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: prevent people from doing this. We've got to continue to

171
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: innovate and lead the world for not only our economic future,

172
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: but also for our survival too, because we we got

173
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: to stay on top ors of the Chinese and the Russians.

174
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: That's had a lot of people listening are concerned about

175
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: social media the impact it has on young kids. For example,

176
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: are you suggesting in some way, shape or form, maybe

177
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: an unregulated Internet or it's hard to censor the First

178
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: Amendment because that is a guy given inalienable right in

179
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: this country. But there's got to be a balance there.

180
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: How do you do that.

181
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 3: Well, I would say that, you know, our coalition is

182
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 3: you know, twenty four different groups of you know, people

183
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 3: who represent small businesses, minority business, Asian American businesses, as

184
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 3: well as technology companies. And our message is focused on

185
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 3: the importance of innovation because sometimes, you know, people forget

186
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 3: that innovation is America's secret sauce that puts us ahead

187
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 3: of other countries, and it's kept as they head of

188
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 3: other countries. To address your specific question. You know, at

189
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 3: the end of the day, there are certain regulations that

190
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 3: can be done that will give people clarity and insight

191
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 3: on Okay, what could we be done with our data? Right,

192
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 3: so Congress could pass the privacy policy. But what we're

193
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 3: against the things that fundamentally disrupt America's ability to innovate.

194
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 3: And that's the thing that we feel Congress is Russian

195
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 3: full with this legislation. And it's not just on fa

196
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 3: I mean, right when you think of the biggest company Google, Amazon, Microsoft,

197
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 3: these are companies are making game cheese and investments in

198
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 3: the technology of the future. And if you if you

199
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 3: disrupt or break apart those companies, it's gonna have lasting consequences.

200
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 3: So at the end of the day, we're for innovation

201
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 3: at the American ADS Project, and that's what gives us

202
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 3: our edge. But we're for smart type of regulation that

203
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 3: actually solve the problem or against reckless regulation.

204
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: Right and generally when you start to break up companies,

205
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: you know, we say that here Cincinnati Bell, for example,

206
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,719
Speaker 1: as no longer Cincinnati Bell for it. But but you

207
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: know when they broke up the baby bell and the

208
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: baby bells, you know, back in the back in the

209
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: Day forty something years ago, fifty years ago.

210
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 2: That was to.

211
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: Control a monopoly. I don't know if I see that

212
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: as much with big tech in that argument. And certainly

213
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: Facebook is massive, and there's a lot of big alphabet right,

214
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: a lot of big companies out there that do this

215
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. But I just don't see the tech

216
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: the advantage in breaking them up. It's gonna Does it

217
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: make competition better or harder?

218
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 3: Well, there's fierce competition and right now, So for the

219
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 3: opponents of the big tech companies, I just challenged their

220
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 3: assumption and their assertion that there's not competition there. I mean,

221
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 3: Facebook is battling them out all the time when the

222
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 3: other social media companies TikTok, and so there's really fierce

223
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 3: competition among these and that forces innovations faster. And so

224
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 3: right now, with the current regulatory scheme we have of

225
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 3: how do we deal with monopolistic activity, it's done to

226
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 3: the court. That's the right way to go. That system works.

227
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 3: There's no need to fundamentally disrupt that because technology moves

228
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 3: really really fast. And I'm old enough to remember my

229
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 3: Space and AOL when they were the big behemoth, right,

230
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 3: And you know what the market took care of that,

231
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 3: So we believe the market takes care of a lot

232
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 3: of problems in competition. Is the real accelerance on that.

233
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, But the argument that would be, well, if you

234
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: just made a case Kelly and said, hey, yeah, you know,

235
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: it's pretty fierce competitively now, but if we broke everything

236
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: up in the smaller companies are thinking, well, that creates

237
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 1: even more competition, doesn't it. Or the other way to

238
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: look at it as well, it's it's much tougher now

239
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: to fund those companies because almost like a startup at

240
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: the beginning, right, there's only so much you can do

241
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 1: with the wealth at Facebook and other companies of a mask,

242
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: it's probably easier at this point, right. So what I'm

243
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: saying is, if you're using your argument, if you broke

244
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: everything in the smaller pieces of the pie, you create

245
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: more competition?

246
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 2: Is that not necessarily true?

247
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 3: Well, but there's some things that can only be done

248
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 3: at large scale, right, So we're in the we're in

249
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 3: the kind of the platform economy phase right of global development,

250
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 3: right China as it's a big platform. We have our

251
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 3: big platforms, and those platforms generate new ideas across a

252
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 3: lot of different business lines, and they also generate profits

253
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 3: which are then investing into this cutting edd research. And

254
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 3: I'll just give an example, right in those strategic technologies

255
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 3: of the future that I talked about, our five big

256
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 3: as technology companies in America invest more each year in

257
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 3: those than the Pentagon does. Right, And these are dual

258
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 3: use technologies, right, So they're both for military purpose but

259
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 3: also for commercial purpose. And so we can either hand

260
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 3: that at China militarily. But worse of all worse is

261
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 3: that that would give them a competitive advantage. Do we

262
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 3: want them to sell all the different AI solutions? Do

263
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 3: we want them to sell the quantum computer solutions to

264
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 3: the world and reap that economic benefit? Well, that's not

265
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 3: of what we want. Yeah, because it really matters which

266
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 3: country and which set of values builds the future. Is

267
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 3: it going to be US China? It's a simple question.

268
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: You know, you mentioned that data privacy and things. It's

269
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: certainly big tech, and you know people who use big

270
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: tech can join hand in hand.

271
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 2: Go, okay, that's something we should fight.

272
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: The most contentious thing, of course, is section two thirty,

273
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: which is wonky. But you know, if you don't know

274
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: what that means, it's simple. It means that platform like Facebook,

275
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: for example, are not legally responsible for what people post

276
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: on them. So prior to this, if a website you know,

277
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 1: modified content or whatever, they're legally responsible for anyone who

278
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: posted on that website. I look at this, it's almost

279
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 1: like me trying to control what a caller would say

280
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: to a talk show. I can't control what you're thinking

281
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: or saying. Now, there are certain dirty words I can

282
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: bleep out and the like, but generally your message is

283
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: as long as you don't swear, you can say pretty

284
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: much whatever the hell you want. I kind of look

285
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: at it that way. When it comes to section two thirty.

286
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: It's bad and you have people can lie and spread mistruths,

287
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: and you pretend to be a I don't know, a

288
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: sixteen year old girl when they're actually a seventy five

289
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: year old man. I get that, but by and large,

290
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: I don't, you know. I kind of look at it

291
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: the same way.

292
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, a whole point behind section two thirty

293
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 3: was to help innovation go and grow, and it has

294
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 3: served its purpose specifically on the content moderation piece. Look,

295
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 3: we believe in having more voices in the marketplace. Right

296
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 3: or at the end, of the day. The best ideas

297
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 3: are going to win. And yeah, acte what you said right.

298
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 3: There's certain techniques and activities in as far as actors

299
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 3: are going to do, but more voices in the marketplace

300
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 3: being able to speak their truth and be able to

301
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 3: say what their opinion is. That's better. That helps our country,

302
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 3: that builds a stronger, more robust electric.

303
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: Doug Kelly, CEO of American Edge Project up in Columbus,

304
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: and it's all about American led innovation and keeping the

305
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: Internet open, which I agree pretty well with most of

306
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: this stuff. Anyway, Doug gotta go. Thanks to the TOME. I

307
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Hey, thanks Scott, great day you too as well.

308
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: We're about to five minutes away for news on seven

309
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: hundred WW traffic weather all that. Don't have to tell you.

310
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: The Deep Freeze continues into our second week. We love
