1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: Okay, let me go right back to Ellie and Wooster. 2 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 1: Just before I do, I want to read this from 3 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,240 Speaker 1: a very good friend of mine. I know him. We 4 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: go back many many years, big Trumps supporter, really a 5 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,960 Speaker 1: smart conservative and just a great patriot and a war veteran. 6 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: By the way, I love the guy, Jeff. About today's 7 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: generation of parents, my mother says, quote, the spoiled are 8 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: doing the spoiling unquote. You know, I think there's a 9 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 1: lot to that. I think I'm not saying every parent, 10 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: young parent is spoiled. No, but when you look at 11 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: that incident I just spoke about with my you know, 12 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 1: my son and what he saw, I bet you that 13 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: woman was probably spoiled by her parents and probably had 14 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: a potty, dirty mouth when she spoke to her parents. 15 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: So now that her daughter is telling her to go 16 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: f her self, and you know, before the exercise class 17 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,839 Speaker 1: in front of everybody, and she's laughing and she thinks 18 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: it's funny, I'm sure the apple doesn't fall too far 19 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 1: from the tree. I mean, I really, honestly, I wouldn't 20 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: be surprised, but I think that is part of the problem. 21 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: The spoiled are doing. Now the spoiling. I mean, am 22 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: I wrong? Six one seven two six six sixty eight 23 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 1: sixty eight. Okay, Ellie, you are making a very fascinating point. 24 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: Anti Christianity is rampant, The radical left is rampant. These 25 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: are left wing governments that are now pushing, for the 26 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: most part, this ban on a social media use by 27 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: children under the age of sixteen. And their goal is 28 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: not to help the children. We know that they don't 29 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: care about kids. They have a larger, more evil, more 30 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: nefarious goal. Please pick up where you left off. 31 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 2: There's good and there's bad apps out there. And when 32 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 2: we were kids, we would talk don't talk to strangers. Okay, 33 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 2: you got to apply the same thing to the cell 34 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 2: phone stuff. Don't talk to strangers. It's very simple, you know, 35 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 2: be suspicious of blah blah blah. Well, you know, like, 36 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 2: like I say, there's a lot of good apps out 37 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 2: there helping kids worldwide, like for example, Charlie Kirk. You know, 38 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 2: turning point, I think that it's probably they're not protecting 39 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 2: the kids from evil, they're protecting them from the good, 40 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 2: the truthful apps out there that are actually helping kids. 41 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 2: Because Charlie Kirk got really popular and I think that 42 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 2: it scared the governments. And we know how Australia and 43 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 2: Canada treated people during COVID. They treated them like criminals, 44 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 2: and they did it here too. You know, you don't 45 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 2: know what I mean. Like even doctors, some old gold 46 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 2: drown in prison trying to warn about the mRNA shots. 47 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 2: They use this to stop the truth. It's a foot 48 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 2: in the door. It's a trojan horse. So be careful 49 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 2: what you wish for. It's a trojan horse. You know. 50 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 2: Are they going to protect the kids from apps that 51 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 2: confuse children as to whether they're male or female so 52 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 2: that they can pump them full of drugs and confuse 53 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 2: them even more. Are they going to stop those ALFs? No, 54 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 2: they're not going to stop it, you know what I mean. 55 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 2: So it's like, remember what happened during COVID. Remember what 56 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 2: happened two pastors getting shackle thrown in prison, innocent people. 57 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 2: This is just a trojan horse. 58 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: Oh, I'm with you. I'm with you all the way. Ellie. Look, 59 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: I'll never forget COVID till the day I die. Remember 60 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: it was remember what they said two weeks, just the weeks, 61 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: Remember that to flatten the curve. Everybody's forgotten that. Now 62 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: two weeks, it's just two weeks, and then we're flatten 63 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: the curve. We're going to stop the spread of COVID 64 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: and then everything will go back to normal. They lie 65 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: to us, and we know now by the way they 66 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: deliberately lied to us. So no, look, here's what's going 67 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: to happen already. This is what they're planning in Australia, Denmark, Norway, 68 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: the European Union, Canada, and this is what they're talking 69 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: about in Congress. Okay, you're not allowed. You're fifteen and under. 70 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: You can't have a social media account.

I want 136 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,199 Speaker 4: to tell you a little bit about myself. When I 137 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 4: was ten years old, my father gave me a radio 138 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 4: for Christmas, and being blind while I had a little 139 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 4: bit of vision back then, but I stumbled across Weei 140 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 4: and I heard an episode of gun Smoke, and I 141 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 4: was fascinated, and I used my imagination what Marshall Dillon 142 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 4: was doing running down Front Street to catch so and so, 143 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 4: and then I would listen to another show, yours, truly, 144 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 4: Johnny Dollar. All these shows were on at the time 145 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 4: when I was ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, and I had 146 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 4: Weei from like three o'clock up to seven o'clock listening 147 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 4: to these shows. The problem is these kids today have 148 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 4: absolutely no imagination. And I was at a neighbor's house 149 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 4: and I was talking to the mother and the thirteen 150 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 4: year old no, the ten year old kid was playing 151 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 4: with his phone or something, and I was telling her 152 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 4: what it was like when I was his age and 153 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 4: how I used my imagination. I wondered, you know, I 154 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 4: would be listening to The Lone Ranger and I can 155 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 4: imagine a Lone Ranger and Tonto of capturing the bad guy. 156 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 4: And then they had children's radio shows that I would 157 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 4: stumble on. You can go on various websites like Tune 158 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 4: in Yesterday or Radio once More, and you can hear 159 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 4: these old radio shows. I think it would do the 160 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,199 Speaker 4: kids a lot good to just sit there and listen 161 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 4: to the radio shows and imagine what's going on. 162 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 1: You know, Victor, I think if we even tried that, 163 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: they are incapable of doing it. Their brains have been 164 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: so sad. I mean, by the way, I so agree 165 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 1: with you, and I'm going to get to that in 166 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: a second, but just to answer your direct point, it 167 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: shows to me how much we've gone as a society, 168 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: how much we've traveled, that their brains now are so 169 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: saturated with visual images, whether it's TV NonStop, movies, NonStop, 170 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 1: screen time, NonStop, computers, laptops, iPhones, iPads, you name it, 171 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: just NonStop, NonStop, NonStop. That for them to just listen 172 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: to something, and I don't mean music. I'm talking about 173 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: like a story being told, or a radio drama or 174 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: a mystery crime thriller or whatever as you used to 175 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: have in the forties and fifties, which which were huge 176 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: on radio, huge. They would they'd be fidgeting, they'd be 177 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 1: moving in their chairs there. They would lose their concentration 178 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: within five minutes. Really, I think within five minutes they'd 179 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 1: say I can't, I can't do this. It's again, it's 180 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: like the sign of an addict. It's like taking away 181 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: their phones. You take away their phones and they start shaking. Really, 182 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,559 Speaker 1: you could tell they they start shaking. I know because 183 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: I saw it on my kids before. And that's why 184 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: when Grayson I said no, no, no, no, no no no, 185 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna really limit now the phone use. We're gonna 186 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: limit how much time they're on video games or social media, 187 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 1: because we could tell they're like addicts. They get grumpy, 188 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: they're not themselves we began to notice they were back talking. 189 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: We began to notice if you take the phones away, 190 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: they're they're jittery, they're they're just they're not the same. 191 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: And I'm like, what do you guys addicts? It's like 192 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: what you can't play outside? You know Ashton loves to fish. Well, 193 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: you can't because I always will drive them. I go, look, 194 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: that'll drive you. I go, I'll drive you. I'll drive 195 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: you to the lake. No problem, you can. You know, 196 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: I have your rod and throw the line in. You 197 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,079 Speaker 1: could be there all afternoon. No, no, he wants that phone. 198 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: He wants that phone. And that's when Grace and I 199 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: said nope, nope. So they went cold turkey for a while, 200 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: basically like a detox. They had to be detos. And 201 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: now it's look, if I had things my way, and 202 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,839 Speaker 1: if Grace had things her way, it would be no phone. 203 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: But you know, the kids are the kids, and they 204 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: got friends and peer pressure, and so we give him 205 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: an hour. But you know, firstly, I think it's better nothing. 206 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: But anyway, they have their phones, and they have their 207 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 1: social media or whatever for one hour. Now look to 208 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: your point, Victor, this is one of my few guilty pleasures. 209 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 1: I have serious exam radio. There's this channel there called 210 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 1: one forty eight and it's from the golden oldies. And 211 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: what I mean by that is you mentioned Johnny Dollar, 212 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: and there's others. These are shows that were huge in 213 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: the forties and fifties, where it's a crime drama or 214 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: a mystery thriller. I love them. I love them especially 215 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: on the weekends. I'll put them on for a couple 216 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: of hours and listen to a couple of shows back 217 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 1: to back. You're right, you use your imagination. The stories 218 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: are so well written. The acting. I know it's just 219 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: voice acting, but the voice acting is phenomenal. And I 220 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: remember just thinking, boy, the quality of entertainment used to 221 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: be so much better. And you're right, you have to 222 00:14:55,360 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: use your imagination. And I don't know. It's creative, it's stimulus, 223 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: it's fun, it's engaging, it's interesting. You're never going to 224 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: see that again, sadly, Victor, You're never going to see 225 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: that again. But I agree with you. Golden Age of radio. Victor, 226 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: thank you so much for that call.

Have you ever seen 272 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 1: anything with your daughters in terms of them telling you 273 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,439 Speaker 1: or you witnessing them, say at a ballet class or 274 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 1: a swim class or a soccer class or whatever you 275 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,679 Speaker 1: have activities you take them to where their peers or 276 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: friends are telling their parents to f off, or telling 277 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:14,239 Speaker 1: the coach to f off, or telling some you know, 278 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,159 Speaker 1: elder person or an adult to just go blank themselves, 279 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: and they think it's funny.

Like if 284 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 5: that was my kid in public nowadays, I would have 285 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 5: just grabbed my daughter and moved on. It's like we 286 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,679 Speaker 5: have an enabling society. Now you have to put the 287 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,919 Speaker 5: work and be be present with the kids. And I 288 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 5: think that the schools can. The schools can do that, 289 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 5: but instead we do the opposite. Let's let's educate with 290 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 5: the biggest education country in the world. You have to 291 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 5: pay attention to happen after sixteen. So your son, your son, 292 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 5: my daughter's sixteen now now now it's up to them 293 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 5: to make decisions on this. So can they get reinfected? 294 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 5: They now it's their responsibility. It's not going anywhere. We 295 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 5: had cassette tapes. Whe did we put a warning label 296 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,879 Speaker 5: on cassette tapes and CD. What did that do? I 297 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 5: used to DJA school dance? Is that at elementary schools? 298 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 1: And all this? 299 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,199 Speaker 5: And hey, you're playing the swear words? No I'm not. 300 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 5: I have every all these all these songs are edited. 301 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 5: They know the swear words. There's no getting around this. 302 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 5: It's about putting the work in. And I think this 303 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,120 Speaker 5: has created us to be a lazy society even more 304 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 5: and more and more. And that's where I don't know, 305 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 5: the trojan horsor control comes in. You have to put 306 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 5: the work in. And there's a lot of people that 307 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 5: have a hard time. We all come from different socioeconomic levels. 308 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 5: How much work can parents put in versus other parents 309 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 5: put in? And now we're going to have the government 310 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 5: magic we hold everyone's hands. You know, you got to 311 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 5: put the work in. And back to what I'm saying, 312 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:04,959 Speaker 5: freedom comes with responsibility. The only country that has all 313 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 5: the freedom in the world. 314 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 1: Amen. Amen, Chris Again, I'm sorry. I don't mean to 315 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,479 Speaker 1: harbor to harbor on this point to go on about it, 316 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 1: to harp on it, but I'm just curious. Do the 317 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 1: parents laugh like the way the way Ashton described it 318 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: to me? The daughter says, f you and whatever, go 319 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: after yourself or whatever like ha. Do they laugh when 320 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 1: their children are being openly disrespectful to them? Are they sheepish? 321 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 1: Are they a little embarrassed but they just don't do anything, 322 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 1: or do they just shrug it off like hey, this 323 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 1: is just no big deal. What's generally the response of 324 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: parents that you've observed when their children are misbehaving and 325 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: insulting them and in a. 326 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 5: Way out because they don't know how to do it. 327 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 5: If that was my wife or myself, that would have 328 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 5: been a spot of grabbing the arm, let's go, we'rer 329 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 5: here and wants to have a conversation in the car 330 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,880 Speaker 5: and back home. That will never happen again because obviously, yeah, 331 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,640 Speaker 5: back in the day, you could have smacked a kid 332 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 5: in the back of the head and made an example 333 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 5: in front of them. But pulling them out of the 334 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 5: situation right away, that sets an example. Wow, that kid's 335 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 5: in trouble. But these parents just stand there. In case, 336 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 5: you're a parent, you don't get disrespected by the children. 337 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 5: But it's almost like the children are getting powerful now 338 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 5: or you know, in these other freaking you know, you know, 339 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 5: Marx to them and all that empower the children. We'll 340 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,399 Speaker 5: just go get the police and get you parents. You know, 341 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 5: that's what we don't want, the parents for the parents. 342 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 1: Oh you nailed it. Oh you so nailed it, Chris, 343 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 1: my brother from another mother, Chris, thank you very very 344 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: much for that call. Grace would have grabbed them by 345 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: the arm, maybe even by the ear. I'm not kidding 346 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: like there's something like that. They would never do it, 347 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,159 Speaker 1: but let's just say they did do it, you know, 348 00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,360 Speaker 1: or and I would be what did you say, either 349 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: come here, young man, or come here, come here, young 350 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: lady out We're going to the car right now.

Are you today? 357 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:30,439 Speaker 1: Good? How are you, Steve? 358 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 6: I'm good. Uh So, something happened about two weeks ago, 359 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 6: and I'll get to that in just a minute. But 360 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 6: we have a huge online predators in pedophilia, and I 361 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 6: want to give you like a little backstory on my 362 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,400 Speaker 6: stepdaughter Uh, so, I've first met her two years ago. 363 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 6: She was twelve. She was overly developed, she looked like 364 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 6: she was eighteen, and she's a beautiful girl. Well she's 365 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 6: fourteen now. But for the first year that I knew her, 366 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 6: she lived with me and her mom and every week 367 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 6: running away drinking, doing drugs, having sex, and there was 368 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 6: nothing we could do. We tried everything short of chaining 369 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 6: her to the bed, and nothing worked. She just continued 370 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 6: and continued. So we had her shipped off to go 371 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 6: live with her dad. He lives out in the middle 372 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 6: of nowhere, four hours from Houston. And for a good year, 373 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 6: she did a lot better. Her grades got better. You know, 374 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 6: she was behaving. And about two weeks ago, to see 375 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 6: we had caught her online talking to grown men on 376 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 6: all these social media things. We had taken her devices 377 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 6: and nothing worked. Nothing worked. She would always find a 378 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 6: device or use their friends, and so nothing worked. Well, 379 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 6: two weeks ago, a friend of hers had stolen her 380 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 6: mother's car and picked up my stepdaughter. Well, they drove 381 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 6: four hours back to Houston and they the girl got caught, 382 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 6: They got pulled over, the girl got caught, taken to jail. 383 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 6: She was sixteen. Well, they just let my stepdaughter go, 384 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 6: even though you know she'd been reported as a runaway. Well, 385 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 6: she was still out running the streets. And the next 386 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:40,160 Speaker 6: night she hooked up with the guy that she had 387 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 6: met online. The guy was twenty five, he was married, 388 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 6: His wife had an order of protection against him. He 389 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 6: had multiple felony warrants out for his arrest. Well, that 390 00:24:52,840 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 6: night he beat and raped my stepdaughter and just out 391 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 6: of pure look, a couple of minutes after he got 392 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 6: up and left, a cop happened to be driving by 393 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:12,360 Speaker 6: and was shining his spotlight in this park, just kind 394 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:17,479 Speaker 6: of checking and seeing her laying there. Well, they got 395 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,920 Speaker 6: his information really quick, and within fifteen minutes they caught 396 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 6: the guy walking down the street. So he's in jail, 397 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 6: no bond, he's not getting out. But I warned her, 398 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 6: and I warned her, everybody warned her. She would not listen. 399 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 6: There was nothing we could do to control this kid. 400 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 6: So I am as anti government as anybody else. And 401 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 6: two weeks ago I said, oh no, no, you cannot 402 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:52,400 Speaker 6: do this. But with what just happened, I am on 403 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:52,919 Speaker 6: the fence. 404 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 2: It is. 405 00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 6: I get it, government control, government overreach, but sometimes either 406 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 6: the parents just don't care or there's absolutely nothing they 407 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:10,880 Speaker 6: can do. These kids are out of control. So I 408 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:16,439 Speaker 6: do kind of agree with this happening. 409 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 1: I want to ask you, first of all, if you 410 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: don't mind me asking, how is your stepdaughter doing? 411 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 6: She is doing better? Yeah, And if. 412 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: I'm getting too personal, please tell me. I promise I 413 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: won't be offended. Is she living with her father or 414 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: is she living with you and her birth mom? 415 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 6: She is back with her father again. 416 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 1: She's back with her father, yep? Okay, Steve, are you 417 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: saying that essentially a lot of her troubles or problems 418 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:50,399 Speaker 1: began because of that phone and the access that she 419 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 1: had to social media, that it just it opened up 420 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: all kinds of avenues of temptation and opportunities, and that's 421 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: what eventually, you know, the culmination to that rape. That 422 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 1: if she couldn't get on TikTok or Facebook or x 423 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 1: or whatever or Snapchat or whatever, this probably would not 424 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 1: have happened. I mean, is that your central argument. 425 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 6: Correct? 426 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 4: Yes? 427 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 6: And you know the girl that she ran away with 428 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 6: a month ago, she had taken her mom's car and 429 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,640 Speaker 6: she was speeding down the road out in the country 430 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 6: and there was a teenage boy in the passenger seat. Well, 431 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 6: he was leaning out of the window, just acting like 432 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,119 Speaker 6: a kid, acting stupid, and he hit a mailbox and 433 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 6: it killed him. So the girl is trouble, the one 434 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 6: that she's with, and you know she it's it's hard 435 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 6: to keep a troubled child away from another trouble child 436 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 6: because when they do come together, it's it's not going 437 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:01,639 Speaker 6: to be good. So I'm still on the fence about 438 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 6: it because of the government overreach, but something's got to 439 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 6: be done. Pedophilia and these these predators out there are 440 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 6: they're they're everywhere to. 441 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 1: Steve if you know what I'm gonna I'm gonna play 442 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,880 Speaker 1: two cuts after after we're done, obviously with your call, 443 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 1: because it's it's making other parents are saying exactly what 444 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 1: you're saying, that it is so bad, and you're right. 445 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:35,920 Speaker 1: The pedophilia, frankly, the uh, the sexual exploitation of children, 446 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: the the cyber bullying, the the ability of grown men 447 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: to pray on young teens, especially young girls, that it's 448 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: just it's so prevalent, it's so rampant that there it's 449 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 1: the wild West, and they're saying, there's got to be 450 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: something done. You can't be watching your child twenty four 451 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 1: hours a day, seven days a week. Steve, I'm just 452 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:11,719 Speaker 1: curious your your what your wife for her moms? How 453 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: do I say this? Did she feel there was anything 454 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: she could have possibly done that would have prevented this? Uh? 455 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 6: No, no, we if we tried it all we put 456 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 6: locks on her windows, and then she would just wait 457 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 6: for people to go to sleep and then go out 458 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 6: the front door, you know, or another window or you know. 459 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 6: And at some point you can't lock a place down 460 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 6: too much because then it becomes a fire hazard. You know, 461 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 6: it's you start blocking off escape routes if there's a fire. 462 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 1: Or Steve, again, I don't want to get too personal, 463 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 1: but if you yelled at her, if your you know, 464 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 1: your wife yelled at her, if you grounded her, if 465 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: you I mean, she's getting pretty old now, teen fourteen. 466 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 1: I mean, you know you don't really spank them.
