This is now becoming a thing, 7 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 2: and it is harming. It is hurting, it is traumatizing, 8 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 2: especially young people. And that is when you go to 9 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:33,879 Speaker 2: the Internet and people are putting up you know, intimate 10 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 2: imagery or deep fake pornography, and because of artificial intelligence 11 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 2: and technology, it looks very real and there are people 12 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 2: that are doing that, and even if you're an adult, 13 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 2: it can be the most traumatizing event in your life. 14 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,599 Speaker 2: Imagine how horrible it would be if you are a child. 15 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 2: And thank god, our friend Senator Ted Cruz in Texas 16 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 2: has is working alongside the First Lady Milania Trump. It's 17 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 2: called the Take It Down Act, and it is a 18 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 2: move to protect American citizens, especially young people in particular. 19 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 2: I mean, this can cause somebody to go over the edge. 20 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 2: It is so dangerous, it is so vile, It is 21 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 2: so horrible what some people will do. It's just pure evil. 22 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 2: But they will spread non consensual intimate imagery and deep 23 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 2: fake pornography. And with the First Lady backing this crucial legislation, 24 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 2: it is clear that Trump administration serious about combating online 25 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 2: harassment and exploitation. And it enforces very strict penalties on 26 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 2: offenders and holds social media platforms accountable, ensuring that they 27 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 2: act swiftly to remove harmful content. And you've got to 28 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 2: give them a little bit of slack because we want 29 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 2: freedom of speech. How and these companies are trying to 30 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 2: be as transparent as they can. Are they going to 31 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 2: know that it's a deep fake phony imagery or that 32 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 2: this is non consensual and it's a compromising position. No, 33 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 2: but they do have an obligation to police that, and 34 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 2: they're going to the act and forces strict penalties on offenders, 35 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 2: holds these platforms accountable. And you know, people whining about 36 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 2: encrypted communications are missing the point. This is about protecting 37 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 2: victims and upholding justice, and it's not about limiting people's 38 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 2: right to freedom of speech. You don't have the right 39 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 2: to put somebody else's image. You don't have the right 40 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 2: to that person's image to put it up on social 41 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 2: media as a form of harassment, embarrassment, intimidation and maybe 42 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,639 Speaker 2: even blackmail in some cases. Anyway, our friend Senator Ted 43 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 2: Cruz of Texas is with a senator. It was great 44 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 2: to see you the other night at the State of 45 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 2: the Union. I still can't get over what we witnessed 46 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 2: in the chamber. You never witnessed anything like that, did you. 47 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 3: No, That night was shocking. It's great to be with 48 00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 3: you again. It was great to be with you that 49 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 3: the State of the Union. The President gave a phenomenal speech, 50 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 3: I think the best speech he's ever given. It was positive, 51 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 3: it was forward looking, It cataloged the incredible victories that 52 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 3: we've already won just forty days into the administration. And 53 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 3: the contrast with the Democrats. They are the party of rage, 54 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,519 Speaker 3: they are the party of hate. They would not stand 55 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 3: or applot or show anything other than anger the entire time. 56 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 3: It was a despicable performance. But one of the moments 57 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 3: that was really powerful is that President Trump addressed this 58 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 3: issue that you just talked about, which is the growing 59 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 3: problem of non consensual intimate images, revenge porn, deep fake porn, 60 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 3: attacking and targeting women, and attacking and targeting teenage girls. 61 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 3: And this is a problem that is growing over three 62 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 3: thousand percent, and we're seeing well, Milania Trump her guests 63 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 3: at the State of the Union. Seated right next to 64 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 3: her was a girl from Texas, Ellison Berry. I know 65 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 3: Elliston well. She is from Aledo, Texas, which is North 66 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 3: Texas outside Fort Worth, and she's fifteen. When she was 67 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 3: fourteen a year ago, she woke up one Monday morning 68 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 3: to a bunch of text and calls from her friends, 69 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 3: and a classmate of hers had taken a perfectly innocent 70 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 3: picture from social media, had used an AI app online 71 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 3: to create a deep fake so that it appeared to 72 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 3: be naked pictures of her. It wasn't, in fact naked pictures. 73 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 3: They were fake, but you couldn't tell. They appeared entirely real. 74 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 3: And that classmate sent it to every kid in her school. 75 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 3: And so this poor fourteen year old girl wakes up 76 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 3: just in tears with all of her friends thinking they're 77 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 3: looking at naked pictures of her. Elliston, she and her mother, 78 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 3: they tried to stop it. They tried to get it 79 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 3: taken down. And one of the things they did is 80 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 3: they reached out to me their constituents, and so they 81 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 3: called their senator, and Ellison's mom said can you help 82 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 3: with what happened to my I thought it was horrible. 83 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 3: I've got teenaged daughters at home. I thought what happened 84 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 3: to her was wrong, and so I drafted the take 85 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 3: It Down legislation in response to what happened to Alliston. 86 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 3: And the take it Down legislation does two things. Number one, 87 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 3: it makes it a crime. It makes it a felony 88 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 3: to post non consensual intimate images. That means, in some 89 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 3: cases their real pictures. Say two people are in a 90 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 3: romantic relationship, they break up, and one of them is 91 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 3: pissed and decides, I'm going to post these pictures of 92 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 3: videos for the world. You don't have a right to 93 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 3: do that. That is a grotesque violation of privacy and 94 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 3: it shouldn't be allowed. But the other instance is what 95 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 3: I just described, where it's a real person but it's 96 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 3: a deep fake and AI lets you create pictures and 97 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 3: even videos that you can't tell they're not real, and 98 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 3: the take it Down legislation makes that a crime as well. 99 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 3: And then critically, it puts a legal obligation on the 100 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,919 Speaker 3: tech platforms to take the content down when the victor 101 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 3: notifies them that is non consensual. That's me take it down. 102 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 3: And my legislation, it has passed the Senate one hundred 103 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 3: to nothing. It's bipartisan legislation. I teamed up with Amy 104 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 3: klovichar Democrat from Minnesota, and it passed the Senate with 105 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 3: every Democrat, every Republican supporting it. This week, the First 106 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 3: Lady came to Capitol Hill, Milania, came and listened to 107 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 3: the victims, listen to multiple victims who've been targeted all 108 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 3: over the country, and she called on the House of 109 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 3: Representatives to take this up and pass it. And then 110 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 3: it's a State of the Union address. President Trump called 111 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,679 Speaker 3: out Ellison Berry in particular and called on the House 112 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 3: passed this legislation, put it on his desk so that 113 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 3: we can protect women and teenage girls and teenage boys 114 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,679 Speaker 3: and the victims of this abuse. 115 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 4: You know, Senator, you and I signed up. 116 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 2: We are in the political fray in this country, and 117 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 2: a lot of false things have been posted and said 118 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 2: about both of us over our long careers, and we 119 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 2: can both handle it right. I don't know if anyone 120 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 2: zephver did a deep fake porn on me, because I 121 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 2: just don't look at this crap anymore. I just if 122 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 2: I want to aggravate myself. You know, I can spend 123 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 2: a few hours and feel terrible about myself. I can 124 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 2: spend a few hours online and just you know, read 125 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 2: all the hateful comments. 126 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 4: I'd rather not. 127 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 2: I think I have better things to do with my time. 128 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 2: I think you probably do too. However, this is very different. 129 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 2: I mean, now we're talking about intimate photos, reel or 130 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 2: fake and young people involved. And there are instances and 131 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 2: you're aware of it, and I'm aware of it where 132 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 2: young people see it and they're so distraught that they 133 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,559 Speaker 2: bring harm to themselves or they've committed suicide. That's how 134 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 2: serious this can become. That's how real this is to them. 135 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 3: Well, Sean, you're exactly right. And at the roundtable that 136 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 3: we hosted with the First Lady this week, one of 137 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 3: the witnesses who spoke at the round table with Brandon Guffy, 138 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 3: who is a state representative in South Carolina, and tragically 139 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 3: that happened to his son Gavin, And what happened to 140 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 3: his son Gavin, he was a teenager and he was 141 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,119 Speaker 3: approached over social media by what he thought was another 142 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 3: teenage girl, and he was convinced to send explicit naked 143 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 3: pictures of himself to the teenage girl. 144 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 2: Well, it turns out a stupid mistake that any teenage 145 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 2: kid might make. It is not that that uncommon. And 146 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 2: I'm just being real here with your senator. I mean, 147 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 2: kids get caught up and stuff. 148 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, kids, kids do foolish things. And he thought it 149 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 3: was a cute girl and he was trying to flirt 150 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 3: with her, so he sent the picture. It turned out 151 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 3: it was a scam artist and engaged in what's called 152 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 3: sex torsion, and they immediately began threatening him. Okay, we're 153 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 3: going to take this picture of you and we're going 154 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 3: to send it to your friends. We're going to make 155 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:56,839 Speaker 3: it public. And Gavin, this teenager, he committed suicide. He 156 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 3: took his own life. The entire time between the first 157 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 3: outreach from this scammer and when Gavin committed suicide was 158 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 3: one hour and forty minutes. 159 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 4: Oh my gosh. As poor kid. 160 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 3: And by the way, Brendan, his father, testified that after 161 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 3: his son had committed suicide, they found this on his phone. 162 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 3: They found the communication. The scammer then tried to blackmail 163 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 3: the father and said, Okay, you know I have your 164 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 3: son's naked picture.

Bragg to him said, 170 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 3: your son begged for his life and I didn't care, 171 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,959 Speaker 3: and that's why he's dead. And send me money or 172 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 3: I'm going to release it. 173 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: Anyway. 174 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 4: Did we ever get this guy? Did we ever find them? 175 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 3: Oh? 176 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 5: No? 177 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 3: And many of many of them are foreigners, Many of 178 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 3: them are are in other countries, and it can be 179 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 3: big business to to shake people down for money and 180 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 3: for blackmail, and and and we're seeing every year dozens 181 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,559 Speaker 3: and dozens of teenagers committing suicide because of this. And 182 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 3: one of the maddening things is that it is incredibly 183 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 3: hard to take down the content. And so Brandon was saying, 184 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 3: the provision, So the way I wrote the law is 185 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 3: I actually borrowed a mechanism from a different law called 186 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 3: the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, And that's existing laws. And 187 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 3: so if you or I, if you tweet out a 188 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 3: song from the Lion King, they'll pull it down within 189 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 3: a couple hours, because you can't tweet out something that's 190 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 3: copyrighting and then that's that's existing law. And so the 191 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 3: way we wrote to take it Down Act is non 192 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 3: consensual intimate images are treated the same, which is, when 193 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 3: the victim notifies a tech platform this is me. It's 194 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 3: explicit and I do not consent, the tech platform has 195 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 3: forty eight hours to remove it. And I'll tell you 196 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 3: so when Ellison, when I first met her, she and 197 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 3: her mother, Anna, came to my office and we were 198 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 3: doing a press conference because I was introducing the bill, 199 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 3: and I was visiting with her and hearing her story 200 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 3: in person, and I asked her then, I said, Ellison, 201 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 3: what happened to the pictures? And she got upset for 202 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 3: a minute and she said, well, they're still up. We 203 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 3: can't get them down. It had been nine months, nine 204 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 3: months since this had happened, and she said the mother. 205 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 3: The mother Anna said she had called Snapchat, she'd emailed them. 206 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 5: And she just hit a brick wall. 207 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 3: They just didn't care. 208 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 5: Sean. 209 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 3: I turned to my staff and I said, I want 210 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 3: you to get the CEO of Snapchat on the phone today. 211 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 3: I want this garbage down today.

All right, we continue now with 247 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 2: Texas Senator Ted Cruz as we discussed the terrible issue 248 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 2: of sextortion, which is resulting in young people even taking 249 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,319 Speaker 2: their own lives on some occasions. And thankfully he has 250 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 2: now come up with the take it down to Act. 251 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 2: But I got to imagine that that these tech companies 252 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 2: are sympathetic towards this. It was a case of this 253 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 2: Nigerian man who is extradited to the USA after he 254 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 2: was indicted in connection and I think this is the 255 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 2: one that you're talking about with the sextortion case of 256 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 2: the South Carolina teen. I mean, so we do get 257 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 2: them occasionally, there's got to be a digital footprint in 258 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 2: all of these cases, doesn't there. 259 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 3: They're often is, and in some instances it's another teenager 260 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 3: at the school. And over ninety percent, in fact, upwards 261 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 3: of ninety five percent of the victims of this or 262 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 3: either women or teenage girls. And you see it in 263 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 3: high schools where teenage boys think, hey, this is a 264 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 3: great idea. I'm going to make fake naked pictures of 265 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 3: my classmates and send it to everyone, and they'll think 266 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 3: it's real, and it really is abusive. And you know, 267 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 3: another person who testify it at the roundtable is a 268 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 3: teenager from New Jersey, Francesca Manny, who had the exact 269 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 3: same thing happened to her that Elliston did in the 270 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 3: very same month, October October, just over a year ago. 271 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 3: It happened to her as well, same thing, and she said, 272 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 3: you know what, the boy who did it, they know 273 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 3: who it is. He suffered no consequences. He still goes 274 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 3: to school with her, you know, he gets to laugh 275 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 3: and see her every day, having sent these these pictures 276 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 3: that everyone thought were real naked pictures uh to everyone 277 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 3: of her classmates. Also a growing problem when you have 278 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 3: people who are victims of human trafficking and you have 279 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 3: either children who are being sexually molested or adults who 280 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 3: are being sexually molested, and the predators will post the 281 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 3: videos and post the pictures online and to take it 282 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 3: down act he protects them here too, because if you've 283 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 3: been through some sort of horrible abuse, that that that 284 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 3: is like the most terrific experience of your life. And 285 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 3: as long as it remains up on on on a 286 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 3: social media platform, you're revictimized over and over and over again. 287 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 5: Looking at it. 288 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 3: And so this bill gives you the right. And so 289 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 3: we heard testimony from victims of abuse who the predators 290 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 3: put it up, and this gives them the right to say, 291 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 3: I want that down. That is me and you do 292 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 3: not have my permission to have it up there. And 293 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 3: so it really gets about protecting and empowering the victims. 294 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 2: I'm glad you're drawing attention to this, Senator. This is 295 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 2: this is a real problem, and these kids are very vulnerable, 296 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 2: and this is a real crime and it's it's a 297 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 2: very sophisticated, dark evil network of people that would do this, 298 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 2: and hopefully this will put an end to it. Senator 299 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 2: Ted Cruz, Texas, we appreciate you enlightening us on all this. 300 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 4: Thank you, sir.

And I said, let me ask you, 344 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 2: what do you know about weaponization? It was a serious conversation. 345 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 2: And like, for example, on sports, when he asked me 346 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 2: something about sports, if I don't know what, he's far 347 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,719 Speaker 2: more knowledgeable than me. And he'll say stay in your 348 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 2: lane when he talks politics.

Gee, what a 392 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 2: complicated mess this must be. 393 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 8: Listens with Trump supporter. I won't give them a kidney, 394 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 8: but I could be friends with very I mean, the question, 395 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 8: the thing about it is it's not just about politics. 396 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 8: Its about morality, ethics, it's about cruelty, it's about discrimination. 397 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 4: When it's about a lot of things. 398 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 8: So there's about personal human values. We're not really just 399 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 8: talking about fiscal conservative who pays more taxes. We're talking 400 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 8: about you as a human ban So it's hard to 401 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 8: be friends with someone who signs onto something like that. 402 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 8: On the other hand, to open to discussion, I like 403 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 8: to talk to them, find out where exactly do you 404 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 8: know about this guy? 405 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 9: Yeah, I agree with that because I think you know, 406 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 9: we're in abnormal times. This is not the Republican Party 407 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 9: of yesterday. This is sort of the trump I think 408 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 9: it's the Trumpeting Party in many respects. 409 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 4: It's so extreme. 410 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:20,400 Speaker 9: And if someone is supporting or voting for someone who 411 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 9: is hurting members of my family, members of my community, 412 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 9: our elderly, our children, gutting our government, firing people, I 413 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 9: do have a hard time right and c being friends. 414 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:32,199 Speaker 7: With that person. 415 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 2: You can't reason with them. They voted for a woman 416 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 2: that supported five hundred and seventy four riots encouraged it 417 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 2: and told them not to stop. They voted for a 418 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 2: woman that wanted taxpayer funded sex change operations. And wide 419 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 2: open borders and wanted to ban fracking and drilling. I mean, 420 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,120 Speaker 2: it's very hard to have a reasonable conversation Sonny House 421 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 2: that actually went as far as to say people need 422 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,439 Speaker 2: to fight and die for their rights to oppose Trump. 423 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 2: Democrats are not meeting the moment against this existential threat. 424 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 2: Throw out of their minds. Chris Matthews is back. Trump 425 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 2: is Mussolini and he's using us in the media. They're 426 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 2: They're insane. I I can't handle it. Actually, it is 427 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 2: a coloss I think it would be a colossal waste 428 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 2: of my time, and I think that this audience, you know, 429 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 2: would prefer not waste my timing it. 430 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,639 Speaker 4: You know, I don't know. Maybe we should put a 431 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,400 Speaker 4: poll up. What do you think? 432 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 7: Okay, so what's the poll. 433 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 4: How would you like it to read? Would you like 434 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 4: Sean to go on the View? 435 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 3: Or not? 436 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 4: And that's. 437 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 7: Should No, we should make it fun. It should say 438 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 7: something like, should Sean Hannity go on the View? 439 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,120 Speaker 4: And school would be enjoy. 440 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 2: No, because now what you're doing is very tricky and sneaky, 441 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 2: and I know what you're up to. 442 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 4: I'm not trying to do you're trying.

As you said yesterday when they 458 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 1: centered al Green, my first question is what does that mean? Secondly, 459 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,360 Speaker 1: he said he would do it again, and it sounds 460 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 1: like there's little or no ramification. So is there a 461 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 1: ramification for the center? 462 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,880 Speaker 4: Is there a ramification for CenTra? Yeah? 463 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,439 Speaker 2: I mean if it happens again, then it goes to 464 00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:00,439 Speaker 2: the next step and uh, you know, then then they 465 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 2: begin to lose four privileges and then they can vote 466 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,360 Speaker 2: to remove them from Congress. Listen, I don't really want 467 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,880 Speaker 2: it to come to that point and I may surprise 468 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,360 Speaker 2: people by saying that what he did I in the end, 469 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,880 Speaker 2: if this is who they are holding up their bingo cards, 470 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 2: being unwilling to stand for mothers that lost children and 471 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:24,439 Speaker 2: a young man with cancer and the wife of a 472 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 2: hero that was murdered in the line of duty, then 473 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 2: let them be that party. If they want to be 474 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,880 Speaker 2: the party of endless wars, if they want a champion 475 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 2: men's rights to play women's sports, if they want a 476 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 2: champion the rights of illegals over our safety, if they 477 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,360 Speaker 2: want reckless spending in the hundreds of billions of dollars 478 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 2: for their radicalism abroad, then let them be that party. 479 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 2: You know, America now sees them for what they are. 480 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 2: And it took Donald Trump winning this election, you know, 481 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:53,919 Speaker 2: for a lot of this to get exposed and for 482 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 2: people's eyes to be opened. And now that they're opened, 483 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 2: and now that they're doubling down on stupid, I think 484 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 2: they're just hurting themselves every step of the way. 485 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 4: Anyway, good call, go ahead, Lest word. 486 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,399 Speaker 1: God, can you go a little bit further now? You 487 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 1: said if they center him a second time, what would happen. 488 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 2: Center has long been viewed as a punishment of last 489 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,439 Speaker 2: resort admonishing someone for something that is perceived as a 490 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 2: serious wrongdoing and informs the public of a formal disapproval. 491 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,880 Speaker 2: And what does censer mean in Congress? Well, it comes 492 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 2: just one step below expulsion and usually is triggered only 493 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 2: for the most grievous wrongdoings. And vote for censure used 494 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 2: to be few and far between. They've become fairly commonplace, 495 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,640 Speaker 2: and it's happened to other people more recently. You might 496 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 2: remember Jamal Bowman. It happened to him. Marjorie Taylor Green 497 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 2: was up for a censure over past statements that never happened. 498 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 2: But at some point they'll face expulsion if they continue 499 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 2: these antics. He said he would do it again. I'm like, 500 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 2: go ahead, do it again anyway. Thanks my friend.

Which democrat is going to 508 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 5: be the first one to step out of line? Surely 509 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 5: that somebody has the fortitude to to look at what's 510 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 5: what was being proposed and what they're doing. After watching 511 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,640 Speaker 5: that speech the other night, I was like, somebody has 512 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,880 Speaker 5: got to have some real leadership qualities that they would 513 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 5: actually step out of line and start disagreeing with the 514 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 5: leadership of the Democratic Party, And what is that? What 515 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 5: for that person? What is it going to look like? 516 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 2: Well, it's interesting because apparently yesterday there was a behind 517 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 2: the scenes meeting of the Democratic Caucus and the leadership 518 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 2: was admonishing the way the Democrats acted during the State 519 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 2: of the Union. But I didn't see Hakeem Jeffries or 520 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer stands. So they're just as guilty as everybody else. 521 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 2: So I thought that was a bit of a joke. 522 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:14,160 Speaker 2: And John Fetterman spoke out against it. He's the only 523 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 2: current member. Joe Manchin spoke out against it, but he's 524 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 2: no longer a current member. I don't think there's gonna 525 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 2: be anybody. I think this is who they are and 526 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 2: it defines them and the American people got. 527 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 4: To see it all. 528 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 5: Fortunate, that's for sure. 529 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,159 Speaker 2: Anyway, my friend, God bless you appreciate the call. Pennsylvania. Wayne, 530 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 2: We have a minute, Wayne, it's all yours. Glad you called. 531 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 6: Hey, Sean, thanks for taking my call, and I think 532 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 6: you should do the view I want to talk about. 533 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 4: I thought you liked me. I thought you were my friend. Okay, 534 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 4: Tuesday night, we're. 535 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 2: Not using Linda's push poll language either. If it's going 536 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 2: to be Shoean Hannity go on the view, yes or no, 537 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:54,120 Speaker 2: that's it. 538 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 6: I only have a minute here, So Sean, on Tuesday 539 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 6: night with the State of the Union, I look at 540 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 6: the two parties as brands, and the Democratic Party did 541 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 6: some pretty bad damage to their brand on Tuesday. And 542 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 6: the Republicans have a wealth of campaign advertising material from 543 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 6: that night. And what they should do is they should 544 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 6: take that DJ and split screen with what the Democrats 545 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 6: were doing. I mean, these people went through some traumatic 546 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:37,120 Speaker 6: tragedies in their life. And Trump, you know a lot 547 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 6: of people say he lost his fastball. 548 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 2: He are you kidding me? This guy has never been 549 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 2: thrown harder life. 550 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 6: Not only did he pitch a no hither, he came 551 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 6: up to bat and hit a grand slam. And the 552 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 6: Democrats have some real problems and for the legacy media 553 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 6: to double down on what they did. The Democrats did 554 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 6: on Tuesday Night. I mean, do they not see what 555 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 6: they're doing? 556 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 2: I don't think their party has become radicalized and extreme. 557 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 4: This is who they are. 558 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 2: And while they tried to hide it, it's been exposed 559 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 2: by President Trump and Elon Musk and we saw it 560 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 2: on the State of the Union. And now people's eyes 561 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 2: are open to it. And once your eyes open and 562 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 2: so you can't unsee it anymore. And if they try 563 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 2: to moderate, I don't think it's going to come off 564 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 2: as credible. It's going to come off as political expediency, 565 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 2: which is what it will be. Anyway, Wayne, I wish 566 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 2: I had more time. We love our friends in Pennsylvania. 567 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 2: God bless you, my friend eight hundred and ninety four 568 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 2: one Sean if you want to join us.
