Speaker 1: but I'm excited to have a conversation with him because
Speaker 1: on July fourth, we're all going to be treated to
Speaker 1: his talents. It's John on Drastic and he is. He
Speaker 1: has a band it's called Five for Fighting, and I
Speaker 1: want him to explain what he's going to be doing.
Speaker 1: But maybe the way to kick off our conversation with
Speaker 1: John is to listen a little bit out some of
Speaker 1: the things he's going to be doing. Let's have a listen.
Speaker 2: This is far alone.
Speaker 1: All the hostages and their families.
Speaker 3: May they be home soon.
Speaker 2: I can't stand fly. I'm not that niggy. I'm just
Speaker 2: stun to find.

Speaker 1: for joining us.
Speaker 4: Jason, great to talk to you. I'm a fan of yours.
Speaker 1: Oh well, hey, thank you. We're off to a good start. John,
Speaker 1: So thank you, very kind of you, very kind of you.
Speaker 1: Look beautiful song. This is a skill set and talent
Speaker 1: I wish I had, but I don't. My job in
Speaker 1: music is to listen. All of my family has told
Speaker 1: me that that is my role. But that was a
Speaker 1: preview of I think what we're going to hear the song,
Speaker 1: right Superman they're talking about there is Superman. Tell us
Speaker 1: about what you're doing on July fourth, and because you're
Speaker 1: an incredible performer and you know, Grammy nominated and just
Speaker 1: I'm thrilled to talk to you.
Speaker 4: Well, thank you. It's it's a true honor. We will
Speaker 4: be actually on the limits in New York Harbor. I
Speaker 4: will be surrounded by sailors and first responders, NYPD, New
Speaker 4: York Firefighters, gold Star families, wounded warriors, the heroes of
Speaker 4: nine to eleven. Actually, there'll be a few firefighters that
Speaker 4: were on the stage with me at the concert for
Speaker 4: New York almost twenty five years ago will be joining us.
Speaker 4: And we will be playing that song Superman, and the
Speaker 4: song that recognized the heroes of nine to eleven. And
Speaker 4: I'm honored that Alona Well, the hostage from Gaza, will
Speaker 4: be playing piano for me. And if you had told me,
Speaker 4: Jason a year and a half ago, that I'd be
Speaker 4: on the Mimics with the Lone playing piano, singing Superman
Speaker 4: for our great wonderful nation, I would have said, you're crazy.
Speaker 4: But you know what miracles happen in America has a
Speaker 4: history of making miracles, that is, And what.
Speaker 1: An honor, what a privilege. And I take it you're
Speaker 1: going to be playing more than just the one song.
Speaker 1: Will we hear Superman? Or you can also play some
Speaker 1: other songs as well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's part of the main kind of navy package
Speaker 4: for that day. It's part of Fleet Fleet New York City.
Speaker 4: How they have this incredible like five day pageantry of
Speaker 4: fifty ships, but this will be kind of the main one.
Speaker 4: They'll be back bouncing back and forth from the curse
Speaker 4: Arge to the nimits. The Vice President will be giving
Speaker 4: remarks on the curse Arge, and they'll be kind of
Speaker 4: festivities along the way, you know, of course air and
Speaker 4: naval and just pageantry. And we're going to play Superman
Speaker 4: with the loan standing with our heroes and our sailors
Speaker 4: and our and our military families. And then there'll be
Speaker 4: some other performances and speeches, and then I will close
Speaker 4: out this piece of the program with God Bless America
Speaker 4: probably singing with two thousand sailors, which will be pretty epic.
Speaker 1: Well, thanks, I mean, we're honored to have a preview
Speaker 1: of what's going to happen. There in New York Harbor
Speaker 1: on July fourth, two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of this
Speaker 1: of this great country of ours. Truly amazing. Now you
Speaker 1: have quite the reputation of writing about like important things,
Speaker 1: key events things. You know, it's got a very humanistic
Speaker 1: approach to it. Where talk to me about that writing
Speaker 1: process and how you're coming up with the music that
Speaker 1: you end up playing.
Speaker 4: Well again, you know, you know, I wish, I wish
Speaker 4: I had the secret. I truly believe there right in
Speaker 4: every room if I could just hear it. But certainly
Speaker 4: you write about things that inspire you, frustrate you. You know.
Speaker 4: The last few songs I've written have to do with
Speaker 4: world events. You know, Sean was very helpful in rescuing
Speaker 4: folks from Afghanistan that we abandoned. I wrote a song
Speaker 4: called Blood on My Hands when Ukraine, performed a song
Speaker 4: with Mean Orchestra, and more recently wrote a song called
Speaker 4: Okay supporting Israel after October seventh and performing at Hasha Square,
Speaker 4: and that's where this new version of Superman came for
Speaker 4: the hostages. So again, I think it's a role of
Speaker 4: musicians to talk about the world and speak about what
Speaker 4: matters to them, And the honor of my career has
Speaker 4: been performing for our troops and writing songs about their
Speaker 4: experience and telling their stories. So I just look at
Speaker 4: my kind of role as to shine the spotlight where
Speaker 4: it belongs, whether it's our veterans, our allies, or are
Speaker 4: our soldiers, and it's been an honor to do.
Speaker 1: So how do you how do you start that? You
Speaker 1: just do you hear it in your head?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 1: How do you what? You may be inspired by something
Speaker 1: like oh I should I should say something about that.
Speaker 1: In fact, the way that I'm going to communicate is
Speaker 1: through music. I'm going to do that with with lyrics
Speaker 1: and music, and but how do you how does that
Speaker 1: come together? I'm fascinated by this how people have this
Speaker 1: incredible talent of being able to almost do you hear
Speaker 1: it before you actually write it? Or do you do
Speaker 1: the lyrics?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 1: I don't know, so tell me how you do it?
Speaker 4: Well, there's no secret, thoughts, I think you know, there's
Speaker 4: many strategies. You know, you can start with a lyric.
Speaker 4: That's what Elton John used to do. Berning Tappan would
Speaker 4: write a lyric for him, leave it on the piano
Speaker 4: and he'd come down in the morning and write epic,
Speaker 4: iconic songs, which I can. Or you can start with
Speaker 4: a melody, or you can start with kind of a
Speaker 4: concept or a feeling. My song one hundred years, you know,
Speaker 4: really kind of comes from that cliche of living in
Speaker 4: the moment, appreciating the moment, which some of us have
Speaker 4: a hard time doing. And when you have two little
Speaker 4: kids kind of looking at you and and giving you
Speaker 4: perspective that puts the idea in your head, then you
Speaker 4: have to write it. Two more recent songs examples, The
Speaker 4: song for Afghanistan, Blood in My Hands, was inspired by
Speaker 4: the rage of that we abandoned our allies, and then
Speaker 4: General Millie told us that we had extraordinary success. That
Speaker 4: made me very angry, and that song basically became you know,
Speaker 4: I wrote that in twenty minutes. The more recent songs,
Speaker 4: for example, the song Okay for Israel, that really evolved
Speaker 4: over months when we saw the collapse of so many
Speaker 4: moral institutions. The media are college campuses across the world,
Speaker 4: the kind of raging anti Semitism, so that one kind
Speaker 4: of germinated.
Speaker 6: For a while.
Speaker 4: But you know, you never know where they're gonna come from.
Speaker 4: But you know, Superman, I wrote in forty five minutes, Jason,
Speaker 4: and I've been looking for that forty five minutes ever since.
Speaker 1: That's that's amazing that you can crank that out when
Speaker 1: you're really inspired like that, and you can do that now.
Speaker 1: The band is five for Fighting, and so I assume
Speaker 1: we can go online and find that right five for Fighting.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's all there five for Fighting dot com. You know,
Speaker 4: we have all the information about this fourth third July.
Speaker 4: We're on tour right now. I'm sitting in the dressing
Speaker 4: room in Tulsa, Oklahoma. We're out with Edwin McCain and
Speaker 4: we're in Dallas last night, so we're wrapping up our
Speaker 4: tour and having a lot of fun and talked a
Speaker 4: lot of veterans military families out here on the road.
Speaker 4: And then July second, I'll leave the bus, so I'll
Speaker 4: hop on a plane and come to New York and
Speaker 4: see you guys and hop on board with the Sailors
Speaker 4: and sing a few songs. So it's going to be busy,
Speaker 4: but we're gonna spend the night on the Nimitz, which
Speaker 4: is gonna be awesome, and I imagine that bunk might
Speaker 4: be a little more comfortable than my tour bus, but
Speaker 4: I'm not sure about that.
Speaker 1: Well, having spent time on an aircraft carrier, don't don't
Speaker 1: get your ups hopes up to too high. And let
Speaker 1: me give you some advice. If you're going to sleep
Speaker 1: on an aircraft carrier, figure out how to get to
Speaker 1: the bathroom in the pitch black because they have those
Speaker 1: red lights that But if you wake up like I
Speaker 1: do in the middle of the night and you got
Speaker 1: to take a leak, you better figure out where that
Speaker 1: bathroom is in advance, because it's not it's not logical necessarily.
Speaker 1: And I learned that the hard way on the USS
Speaker 1: Eisenhower out in the in the Arabians golf or whatever
Speaker 1: you're called Persian golf, and I paid the price having
Speaker 1: getting a little bit lost at three o'clock in the
Speaker 1: morning on the aircraft carrier. Just just word otherwise, last
Speaker 1: last question for you here, John, what is what does
Speaker 1: America mean to you? You know, it's got such a
Speaker 1: special place in my heart and the freedom and liberty
Speaker 1: and I just I stand in awe of all the
Speaker 1: people that have come before me and made our life
Speaker 1: and our country so great, and I get infuriated by
Speaker 1: those that want to tear it down and turn it
Speaker 1: into something other than the great country that it is.
Speaker 1: But what does America mean to you?
Speaker 4: Well, that's a good question. It's a long answer, but
Speaker 4: I would have to say it really means hope. It
Speaker 4: means hope for the world. And I think the best
Speaker 4: way to understand it is imagine a world without America.
Speaker 4: Imagine a world right now with what we're seeing in
Speaker 4: the Middle East, what we're seeing in Europe, Imagine a
Speaker 4: world without the United States. Certainly we're not perfect, both
Speaker 4: you and I were not blind patriots. Certainly we make mistakes,
Speaker 4: but there's never been a country a group of people
Speaker 4: in the world that has done more good, stood for
Speaker 4: human rights, for liberty, and I don't think we should
Speaker 4: be ashamed to say that. I think it's very clear.
Speaker 4: And we're at a time, as you mentioned, where we're
Speaker 4: facing forces both outside the nation and inside the nation
Speaker 4: who would love to tear this whole thing down. But
Speaker 4: I think as long as we have patriots who understand
Speaker 4: the values of the founding fathers and understand the value
Speaker 4: of our troops and freedom that is not guaranteed. By
Speaker 4: the way, it is not guaranteed I think we will
Speaker 4: lead the world through what I believe is a battle
Speaker 4: for civilization right now. And you know, thank goodness, you know,
Speaker 4: thank goodness for our soldiers, thank goodness for our veterans
Speaker 4: and all who you know pay the ultimate price. But look,
Speaker 4: we're not perfect. But boy, I love America. I love
Speaker 4: our country. I love everything about the Blue States, the
Speaker 4: Red States, the Purple States, because I see them every
Speaker 4: day on the road. And I'll tell you this. You know,
Speaker 4: the media loves to divide us, but I see it
Speaker 4: first an when we're all seeing a hundred years when
Speaker 4: we're singing Superman. You know, there's no politics. It's just
Speaker 4: people singing together. And there's much more that brings us
Speaker 4: together than divide us in this nation. And I see
Speaker 4: it every night, and I hope to celebrate that with
Speaker 4: you and everybody else on July fourth.
Speaker 1: Well, John Andrassic, honored to talk to you. Really looking
Speaker 1: forward to your performance New York, Harver July fourth. That's
Speaker 1: going to be a special special moment aboard the USS Nimitz.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for joining us here on the

Speaker 1: United States America is, and you know it, there's nothing better.
Speaker 1: And I feel for the men and women who are
Speaker 1: serving our country right now. News of the day in
Speaker 1: part the United States is having to use kinetic action
Speaker 1: force as the United States Military cares carries out more
Speaker 1: strikes against Iran near the Strait of Horn moves. Guess what,
Speaker 1: our audience, you decide you're gonna till it take people out,
Speaker 1: gonna kill, going to try to blow up ships. Well,
Speaker 1: we're gonna We're gonna decimate you. It should be that simple.
Speaker 1: And Donald Trump understands this and he's going to drive
Speaker 1: home that message. But more importantly, to the men, the women,
Speaker 1: the families that are there involved and engaged in that fight,
Speaker 1: thank you. Thank you for protecting the United States of
Speaker 1: America and doing what needs to be done in order
Speaker 1: to help protect the world and most importantly the United
Speaker 1: States of America. It isn't our best interest and we
Speaker 1: can't thank you enough for doing it. All right, you
Speaker 1: need to write this number down eight hundred sewan, eight
Speaker 1: hundred one Sean, because we're going to be taking calls.

Speaker 6: Breaking news straight from the source.
Speaker 4: This is the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 1: And I'm Jason chaff It's filling in for Sean. A
Speaker 1: lot's happening in the world as we come up here.
Speaker 1: What an incredible week. Next week is going to be
Speaker 1: celebrating July fourth. But right now, right here, today, we're
Speaker 1: going to take your call. So you can call in
Speaker 1: eight hundred nine four one sean eight hundred and nine
Speaker 1: four one sean. That's seven three two six if you
Speaker 1: can't spell sean eight hundred nine one seven three two six.
Speaker 1: I want to take your calls. I also want to
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about drones because I do think
Speaker 1: they pose an incredible threat to the country. I also
Speaker 1: want to talk about AI and AI glasses. So we're
Speaker 1: going to work those two subjects in. Well, let's get
Speaker 1: to the phones and uh, let's go to line two.
Speaker 1: We got Bob in North Carolina. Bob, what's up?
Speaker 6: Hi, Jason, thanks for Karen the torch conservatism, even though
Speaker 6: you're not in Congress anymore. Really appretia, Well, thank you,
Speaker 6: thank you. All right, So my question concerns John Soon.
Speaker 6: He has not allowed President Trump to have even a
Speaker 6: single recess appointment, and that's bizarre. This is the first
Speaker 6: time it's ever happened. So one, why has he done it?
Speaker 6: I don't expect you'll know, but and I also wont
Speaker 6: to know why nobody's asked him about it.
Speaker 5: It's weird.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right about the lack of questioning of this. Look,
Speaker 1: I John Thune, he was elected by This is why
Speaker 1: I started the program right. It started by saying, Look,
Speaker 1: Republicans need to do what Republicans said they were going
Speaker 1: to do. He is the majority leader because Donald Trump
Speaker 1: put together a successful campaign and had a mandate given
Speaker 1: the overwhelming vote that he got from coast to coast,
Speaker 1: winning by millions upon millions. And part of what they
Speaker 1: wanted to do is to restore common sense and to
Speaker 1: do certain things like protecting our border and making sure
Speaker 1: life is simple and secure. And guess what, in part
Speaker 1: of delivering that, you have the Save America Act, which
Speaker 1: would just a simple thing require voter identification. And yet somehow,
Speaker 1: some way, he can't figure out how in the world
Speaker 1: to bring this up, and if it fails, bring it
Speaker 1: up again and again and again. And it's so frustrating
Speaker 1: because we have a majority leader that needs to figure
Speaker 1: out creatively how to actually do this. The House of Representatives.
Speaker 1: Give credit to those House Republicans for actually passing it
Speaker 1: multiple times, and then when it comes to actually getting
Speaker 1: people on the president's appointments list, to getting them You're right,
Speaker 1: whether they're recess appointments, or remove them through faster and quicker. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there are democratic tools that they can do in the
Speaker 1: minority to slow the process down, I think. But Bob,
Speaker 1: I think you bring up a great question. Why not
Speaker 1: go into recess and allow the recess appointments to happen.
Speaker 1: I don't understand it's a legitimate question. The media needs
Speaker 1: to ask him that, I really do.
Speaker 6: Thanks you, Thank you, Jason. I appreciate you at least
Speaker 6: thinking about it. If you would pass that along to
Speaker 6: some reporter boy so they can shoot soon that question,
Speaker 6: I'd really appreciate it. I want somebody to put them
Speaker 6: on the spot, that's all.
Speaker 1: That would be great. Thanks Bob, and good luck. They're
Speaker 1: in North Carolina. All right, Uh, let's go to line
Speaker 1: in one. We got Jim in Florida. Jim, We're in Florida, Jacksonville.
Speaker 1: Oh nice, Well, thanks for calling in to the Handity program.
Speaker 1: What's on your mind?
Speaker 7: I'd like to stair away from politics for just a
Speaker 7: minute so I can gay talk about I want to
Speaker 7: get you to talk about something that a lot of
Speaker 7: people probably don't know about you your days is a
Speaker 7: kicker with the BYU Cougars.
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, it's going to be a little while ago now,
Speaker 1: but it's true. I was a placekicker back in eighty
Speaker 1: eight eighty nine. This is my junior senior year. Was
Speaker 1: the freshman sophomore year with Ty Deptmer, who went on
Speaker 1: to win the Heisman Trophy. It was a great time.
Speaker 1: I'd like to remind the people of Utah that we
Speaker 1: never lost a game by the margin of my missed kicks. Otherwise,
Speaker 1: you know, I'd be living in Arizona or Florida or
Speaker 1: somewhere else, but I couldn't live in Utah. But yeah,
Speaker 1: what a great way to go through college. When I left,
Speaker 1: I had five school records. They were all extra point records,
Speaker 1: which was much more of a testament to the quarterback
Speaker 1: than it was because we scored so many touchdowns back then.
Speaker 1: I mean, we just racked up the scores. Lavelle Edwards
Speaker 1: was the coach. And you know, the one position on
Speaker 1: the field that would work for me is if they
Speaker 1: touched me, they threw a flag. And uh, I thought, yeah,
Speaker 1: I could do that because I was I played a
Speaker 1: lot of soccer, and I could kick a ball and
Speaker 1: kicking it between those two posts. That seemed easy to me,
Speaker 1: and I loved it. It was a great, great time in
Speaker 1: my life.
Speaker 7: Could I ask you, what was the longest field goal
Speaker 7: you ever made?
Speaker 1: So in the spring game it was fifty three yards,
Speaker 1: but I remember Lavell Edwards he said, listen, thirty five
Speaker 1: yards and in you cannot miss. You've got to be
Speaker 1: one hundred percent forty five and out. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: you got to make about seventy five percent of those
Speaker 1: fifty in out. Yeah, make half of those and you'll
Speaker 1: be good. So everybody always asks what's your longest I
Speaker 1: think the one I'm I'm the most proud of is
Speaker 1: the consecutive streaks of you know, extra points and as
Speaker 1: like I said, I said, some school records there. So
Speaker 1: that was that was fun.
Speaker 7: I saw you a few times, but the only problem
Speaker 7: is here where I'm at in Florida, I didn't get
Speaker 7: to see you till like midnight when you're games would
Speaker 7: come over here.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, my best game is we beat the Colorado
Speaker 1: Buffaloes in the Freedom Bowl. I kicked two field goals
Speaker 1: in the last four minutes and eleven seconds, and who
Speaker 1: was named the most valuable player of the game. Ti
Speaker 1: Depmer and I'm like, you get this big, huge, ditch
Speaker 1: huge trophy. You threw for no touchdowns. You didn't run
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. I had to come in because you
Speaker 1: threw two incomplete passes. I kicked two field goals and
Speaker 1: we win by three, and you're the most valuable player.
Speaker 1: Then he went on to win the Heisman Trophy. But
Speaker 1: you know, as a kicker, you gotta get used to it. So, Jim,
Speaker 1: thank you for the question. I do appreciate it, and
Speaker 1: good luck there in Jacksonville, Florida. Love it out there.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to line four. Remind you the
Speaker 1: number eight hundred and nine four one sean eight hundred
Speaker 1: nine four to one. S ea, N type it in
Speaker 1: on your phone. We'd love to hear from you.
Speaker 7: All right.
Speaker 1: We got Jeremy and why Washington State. Jeremy, what's on
Speaker 1: your mind?
Speaker 5: Hey, Jason, I will just call them. I'm just wondering
Speaker 5: why we don't encourage more people that are supporting the
Speaker 5: socialism cause to move to these big socialists make a
Speaker 5: big socialist utopia, and then they could have the big
Speaker 5: voting block in their areas and then we could have
Speaker 5: our whole area socialist free. I mean, well move to
Speaker 5: those areas to get those benefits.
Speaker 1: I mean that's the thing. Right, You make a good point.
Speaker 1: Now you're up in Washington State, so we got some
Speaker 1: craziness there in Seattle. It's it's Washington State is fascinating.
Speaker 1: It's like two totally different states. Right eastern part of
Speaker 1: Washington very conservative. Right, you get into Seattle and it's
Speaker 1: just crazy town. So yeah, I mean, yeah, if you
Speaker 1: if you want to. That's the thing we suffer for
Speaker 1: here in the Inner Mountain West Idaho, Utah. It's like
Speaker 1: we get all these califor Ffornians abandoning it because they
Speaker 1: can't stand it. Then they come here and they want
Speaker 1: to be like California. They're like, wait a second, if
Speaker 1: you came here because it was a better place to be,
Speaker 1: don't don't try to change us into into to California.
Speaker 1: That's the last thing we want to do is be
Speaker 1: like California. So yeah, if you want to be a socialist,
Speaker 1: yeah you go live in Vermont or you know, in
Speaker 1: New York City. But I also think it works the
Speaker 1: other way because the only business that's really thriving in
Speaker 1: California is u haul that people are leaving at such
Speaker 1: big numbers. And in New York, I mean, they keep
Speaker 1: scaring everybody out. Why do you think Florida is just
Speaker 1: surging right, better tax scheme, better run state, better everything,
Speaker 1: pretty much education. I mean what Governor DeSantis has done
Speaker 1: down there in the great state of Florida. I mean
Speaker 1: even Sean Hannity moved down there. So it made a
Speaker 1: lot of sense to a lot of people.
Speaker 5: And I think time will tell, you know, as more
Speaker 5: conservatives doom about those areas, I would imagine more socialists
Speaker 5: thinking people would move to the areas that were that
Speaker 5: way instead of trying to turn conservative areas into socialist areas.
Speaker 5: At least that's what I hope for, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well they could also go They could also go
Speaker 1: move to Russia, you know, or some or Cuba if
Speaker 1: we would let them. You know, remember all the celebrities
Speaker 1: during the election, all the celebrities that going out and say, oh,
Speaker 1: if Donald Trump wins, I got to leave the country,
Speaker 1: and like two of them did, and most of them
Speaker 1: were just loviating and didn't do it. But even those
Speaker 1: that went over there, they decided, hey, they're going to
Speaker 1: come back now because they missed the United States because
Speaker 1: it is the greatest country on the face of the planet.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but yes it.
Speaker 1: Is, Jeremy, Washington State. Thanks so much for calling in.
Speaker 1: All right, I're goan to remind you the number eight
Speaker 1: hundred nine four one seven three two six eight hundred
Speaker 1: ninety four one seven three two six. That's when Sean.
Speaker 1: But I'm going to take this moment here before I
Speaker 1: take another call here, and I want to talk about AI,
Speaker 1: artificial intelligence. At Linda and I a producer of the
Speaker 1: show here, we were talking about this offline. It can
Speaker 1: be done for a lot of good things. It can
Speaker 1: be used for a lot of nefarious things. Now, I
Speaker 1: wrote a book and the book is called They're Coming
Speaker 1: for You. How big government, big NGOs, big government, and
Speaker 1: big business are coming for you and they're going to
Speaker 1: try to block you out of the economy. And I
Speaker 1: mean conservatives. If you're a conservative and you're listening to
Speaker 1: this program, pretty good odds, then they're coming for you
Speaker 1: and they're going to use these tools that you are
Speaker 1: oblivious to in many ways. But one of the things
Speaker 1: I talked about and in the book, and I have
Speaker 1: talked about it for and I'm continuing to talk about
Speaker 1: it is scary with artificial intelligence. It's not just like
Speaker 1: Google but better. You know, hey, we're going to Google something. No,
Speaker 1: it's a whole nother paradigm. It's a whole nother level.
Speaker 1: And what it can do is be able to search
Speaker 1: so fast. And the reason you see in Nvidia and
Speaker 1: some of these other high tech companies and chip makers
Speaker 1: is because they need the speed, right, they need the
Speaker 1: speed in order to make AI work, artificial intelligence work. Well,
Speaker 1: Meta the parent company of Facebook. And then you also
Speaker 1: have a ray Band, one of the world's most famous
Speaker 1: sunglass companies. They make glasses and sunglasses, cool stuff. You know,
Speaker 1: think Tom Cruise going back to the to to those days.
Speaker 1: Ray Band's pretty cool, pretty popular. Well, here's the challenge
Speaker 1: that I see. They've now embedded this camera into glasses
Speaker 1: and you really can't tell. You'd have to really look
Speaker 1: at the glasses in order to tell that it has
Speaker 1: a camera on it. Well, when it has a camera
Speaker 1: on it, you could go and walk up to somebody
Speaker 1: and just look at them, and the camera can instantly
Speaker 1: search the internet in using artificial intelligence, it can identify
Speaker 1: that person because there's so much facial recognition. Now again
Speaker 1: by book, they're coming for you. We get into the
Speaker 1: depths of how facial recognition, by the tens of millions
Speaker 1: has been used and built into these data banks. So,
Speaker 1: like most people don't realize, if you go in to
Speaker 1: get your driver's license, there are lots of states that
Speaker 1: have operating agreements that they then take those driver's license photos,
Speaker 1: even if your daughter is sixteen years old, they sell
Speaker 1: that information to data brokers. You pay to your driver's license,
Speaker 1: and yet they will sell that information to data brokers.
Speaker 1: And then even though you didn't think you took a picture,
Speaker 1: that picture sure is identified with all of your information name, address, height, weight, color,
Speaker 1: ad vise color of fair and suddenly you're in their database.
Speaker 1: And even if you're underage. And so what happens is
Speaker 1: you're walking down the street, somebody looks at you. That
Speaker 1: ability it's not in the future, it's actually what's happening
Speaker 1: right now. They can instantly recognize you and tell you
Speaker 1: exactly who you are, and so you could fake your
Speaker 1: way through it. Hey, Leslie, good to see you. Hey
Speaker 1: didn't I know you at didn't I meet you? In
Speaker 1: Tuscaloosa I'm pretty sure we did. Didn't we have that
Speaker 1: class together. I believe you're a psychology major. Like, it's
Speaker 1: scary how much you can do that. Imagine how creepy
Speaker 1: this is. And this is the problem we have in
Speaker 1: the United States of America. I think a fundamental right
Speaker 1: to privacy we have that is just that's part of
Speaker 1: the Fourth Amendment. To me, you have the right to
Speaker 1: be forgotten. You don't. If you enter into an operating agreement,
Speaker 1: whether you use a social media or whatever, you should
Speaker 1: be able to to break that contract. You enter into
Speaker 1: a transaction, I'll trade you by this information and then
Speaker 1: you provide me all this entertainment and stuff like where
Speaker 1: to find a cup of coffee. But you should be
Speaker 1: able to end that. But that's not what's happening. And
Speaker 1: the creepiness of being able to tell what you're doing
Speaker 1: when you're doing it through facial recognition scary. Eight hundred
Speaker 1: nine four one, Sean. We'll be back with more right
Speaker 1: after this. Stay with us. We're not done. We got more.
Speaker 4: Moreanity last state government or watch dog on Washington, Sean Hannity.
Speaker 1: Just love filling in for Sean honor and or privilege. Sean,
Speaker 1: thank you, Thank you, thank you for letting me do it.
Speaker 1: These three hours just fly by. I mean, I just
Speaker 1: so excited to talk about There were so many more
Speaker 1: things we should have talked about, but some things are
Speaker 1: more important than others. Than men and women who are
Speaker 1: serving in our armed services. They're at work tonight. They're
Speaker 1: working and it's dangerous. God bless them. I think we
Speaker 1: all care about them. And they're families. You got a
Speaker 1: family member next door to you, down your street, show
Speaker 1: them some love this holiday. All right, I'm Jason Chafitz.
Speaker 1: You can follow me at Jason in the House. It
Speaker 1: just type it in you'll find me Jason in Thethhouse
Speaker 1: dot com, Jason in the House on Twitter, her ax,
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. Thank you so much for having
Speaker 1: us the United States of America, greatest country on the
Speaker 1: face of the planet.
