0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:02.279
<v Speaker 1>Some of you will remember what happened in two thousand

0:00:02.400 --> 0:00:06.439
<v Speaker 1>thirteen when Los Angeles educators decided to hand out taxpayer

0:00:06.519 --> 0:00:11.200
<v Speaker 1>funded iPads supposedly to help low income students. The iPad

0:00:11.240 --> 0:00:14.520
<v Speaker 1>program cost over a billion dollars and guess what happened next.

0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:19.160
<v Speaker 1>Large numbers of iPads soon went missing or were reported stolen.

0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:22.880
<v Speaker 1>Teachers were never properly trained on how to use them,

0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:25.599
<v Speaker 1>many didn't see the need for them. Internet access in

0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:29.920
<v Speaker 1>the scrowls with spotty The iPad for Poor Kids program

0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:33.800
<v Speaker 1>ended up as a total disaster. Even the Los Angeles

0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Times called it ill conceived and half baked. Well, now

0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:40.919
<v Speaker 1>New York State is about to embark on a new program.

0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:43.520
<v Speaker 1>They're going to give free tablets to all of their

0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:48.000
<v Speaker 1>inmates in prison. Supposedly, these tablets will not be able

0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:50.919
<v Speaker 1>to connect to the Internet all the time. There will

0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:55.160
<v Speaker 1>be controlled access so that prison inmates can email loved

0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:57.840
<v Speaker 1>ones to help them stay in touch, and they'll be

0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:03.640
<v Speaker 1>allowed to purchase e books, videos, and other entertainment. Anybody

0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:06.720
<v Speaker 1>with a brain can predict where this is going before

0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:09.319
<v Speaker 1>it happens. You put this kind of technology in the

0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>hands of criminals in prisons already overrun by gangs and

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 1>all sorts of deadly miscreants. It's not going to end well.

0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:19.960
<v Speaker 1>And we haven't even talked about pornography yet. But when

0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:22.919
<v Speaker 1>liberals fail at something, folks they never learned the lesson.

0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:26.880
<v Speaker 1>They double down, and they fail up and keep failing

0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:29.200
<v Speaker 1>up until they get to the top of the failure

0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:34.040
