1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,280
Speaker 1: We want to share a good friend's podcast with you

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: this week, Enjoy the Truth with Lisa Booth in the

3
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: Clay and Bock podcast Network.

4
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 2: Before we get started today, you have to listen to

5
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 2: this clip.

6
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 3: If you're not telling it, that's on you. Because when

7
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,639
Speaker 3: a woman sits there and she tells you not just

8
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 3: about being raped, but how many times a day she's raped.

9
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 3: When she tells you about having to lay in that

10
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 3: bed while they come.

11
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: In and out and in.

12
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 3: And out, it's disgusting and it's despicable. Folks. You look

13
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 3: at the number of people that have died at the

14
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 3: border because Joe Biden has made it more and more

15
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 3: enticing to come here. Make no mistake, this is a

16
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 3: result of failed policies. We could fix this. We can't

17
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 3: throw money at this and fix it. We have to

18
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 3: actually change the policies. I looked in the eyes of

19
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 3: CBP agents who said, we're exhausted. We're not only having

20
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 3: to be paper pushers. We're also trying to do what

21
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 3: we did, what we took an oath of office to do,

22
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 3: and that is protect this border.

23
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: But when they tell.

24
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 3: You about finding small children who have drowned in that

25
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 3: river or pulling a lifeless body of a woman who

26
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 3: was pregnant with twins. It changes the way you think

27
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 3: about what's happening.

28
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: Guys, that's not.

29
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 3: The American dream, that's an American nightmare.

30
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 2: That was Senator Katie Britt of Alabama speaking at a

31
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 2: press conference recently, pleading with reporters, begging them to cover

32
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 2: the atrocities that are happening at the Southern border. I

33
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 2: don't think I have heard anyone articulate the issue better

34
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 2: than her. You can tell she's a mom. You can

35
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 2: tell that's where she's coming from. We're going to have

36
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: her on the show today to talk about the border,

37
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 2: talk about what she's seen, what you need to know. Also,

38
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 2: she has recently introduced legislation to protect kids on social media.

39
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 2: We'll get her take on that. And I have a

40
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 2: little bit of a football rivalry with her. She went

41
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 2: to the University of Alabama. I went to the University

42
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: of Tennessee. So we'll talk about that as well. Stay

43
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 2: tuned for Senator Katie Brett. So, Senator Brett, it's such

44
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 2: an honor to have you on the show. Before we

45
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 2: get into the important stuff. My only bone to pick

46
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 2: with you, as you went to the University of Alabama.

47
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: I went to the University of Tennessee. So hopefully we

48
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: can move fast.

49
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 3: And Lisa, you know, I'm glad we're clearing the air

50
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 3: on this early, honestly because I'm glad, and I'm also

51
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 3: glad it's not the third week of October when we

52
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 3: would really have to step up the rivalry. I am

53
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 3: hoping you'll got the best of us last year, both

54
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 3: on the basketball court and on the football field, So

55
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 3: I'm hoping we can turn the tide literally and figuratively

56
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 3: this year.

57
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 2: I made the mistake of buying SEC Championship tickets after

58
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: the game, and that did not work out for me.

59
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: So well, you know in.

60
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 3: Our house too, been played football for the University of

61
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 3: Alabama and actually broke his leg. Alabama Tennessee our senior year,

62
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 3: and so our junior year and his and so anyway,

63
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 3: it is, it's always a big, a big rivalry in

64
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 3: our house, for sure.

65
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 2: Absolutely well, I want to shift gears into what's really important.

66
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 2: I heard you speak at a press conference recently. I

67
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 2: played the clip for the audience in the introduction. I

68
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 2: don't think I've ever heard someone articulate better about the border,

69
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 2: what's going on, Why it's important than what you did.

70
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 2: You know, take us through what you have seen at

71
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 2: the border and what people at home need to know.

72
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: Lisa. It is.

73
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 3: It's truly gut wrenching, and I feel like we are

74
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 3: not telling this story. And so it's one thing to

75
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 3: read about it, but it is another to see it

76
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 3: and to hear firsthand what people are encountering.

77
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: And you know, it was one thing I was so.

78
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 3: Grateful Senator Blackburn took me upon me entering the Senate

79
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 3: and she said, you've got to see this firsthand. And

80
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 3: I just want to contrast that with Joe Biden. So

81
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 3: I have gone to the border three times my first

82
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 3: two months in office, whereas Joe Biden has been in

83
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 3: office now you know, two years and nine months, and

84
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 3: he spent less than three hours at the border, and

85
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 3: the very limited time he spent it was for a

86
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 3: sanitized photo op.

87
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: You look at that.

88
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 3: You even see that last week he was one hundred

89
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 3: and seventeen miles away from the Arizona border, so a

90
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 3: quick flight over or drive, you know, under our circumstances, and.

91
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: Yet he still refused to go and see it. And

92
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: when you.

93
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 3: See it, you really start to understand the humanitarian cost

94
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 3: of this crisis that's occurring right here on our soil.

95
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 3: And I have said after being there, there is no

96
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 3: doubt that it is open season for human traffickers, for

97
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 3: drug cartels, and for terrorists and the victims.

98
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: I mean these drug cartells, Lisa.

99
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 3: They are utilizing TikTok and other means of social media

100
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 3: to entice these people to come here. And Biden's border policies,

101
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 3: these open border policies, are encouraging people to put themselves

102
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 3: in harms way. I mean, I saw a woman walk

103
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 3: down the river bank with tiny children following her as

104
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 3: she began to wade in the river, knowing that any

105
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 3: of those kids could could be ripped away by the tide.

106
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 3: And in fact, it does happen, because when you talk

107
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 3: with border patrol agents, they tell you those stories, Lisa.

108
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 3: They tell you about lifeless children, They tell you about

109
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 3: bodies of men and women, and the tears that came

110
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 3: out of a border patrol agent's eyes as he told

111
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 3: me about pulling the lifeless body of a woman who

112
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 3: was pregnant with twins. And you also, you know, ask

113
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 3: them and they will talk to you. So these men

114
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 3: and women that come across. You know, I was sitting

115
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 3: there with a woman who had a six month old

116
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 3: baby and they're shivering, wet, and the husband tells you, hey,

117
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 3: this is how much I paid to get here. And

118
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 3: they pay multiple times, Lisa. They pay the drug cartels

119
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 3: to bring them. Then they have to pay to a

120
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 3: cost to tag, you know, to cross a different area,

121
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 3: and Lisa, if they can't pay by financial means, then

122
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 3: they have to pay with others. And so that's when

123
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 3: you know, you I talked to a woman and she

124
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 3: told me it wasn't just that she was raped in

125
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 3: this journey, it was how many times a day she

126
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 3: was raped. And you think about the disgust and the

127
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 3: indignity as she told me about laying on the bed

128
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 3: and having to wait for gentlemen, for men not gentlemen,

129
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 3: men to come in and out of that room, and

130
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 3: in and out.

131
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: Of that room, and it just is despicable.

132
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 3: You know. I also want to make sure people understand

133
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 3: the drug cartels, Lisa, have their tentacles in every single

134
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 3: corner of this country, because, as I mentioned, that man

135
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 3: who I was talking to and told me how much

136
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 3: he paid, every single one of those men will tell

137
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 3: you this is how much I owed, this is where

138
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 3: I'm going, this is what my job is going to be,

139
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 3: where I'm going, and this.

140
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: Is how much more I owe.

141
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 3: And what happens is they go to these locations, the

142
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 3: drug cartels them come around to continue to collect. If

143
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 3: they don't pay up, they know where their family is

144
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 3: in whichever country. I mean, this is unfortunately a well

145
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 3: oiled machine that has been fueled by the failed policies

146
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 3: of the Biden administration.

147
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: And they've allowed it, you know.

148
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 2: And so I wanted to ask you, well, and you

149
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 2: can tell when you're when you're talking about this that

150
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 2: you're a mom and it's coming from a place of

151
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,239
Speaker 2: you know, caring and a place of you know, truly

152
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 2: being horrified by what you've seen. Obviously, the Biden Administration's

153
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 2: allowed this to happen. And now you've got the Department

154
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 2: of Homeland Security Secretary majorcas Is going to allow border

155
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 2: wall construction in South Texas to resume it under the

156
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 2: or the Biden ministry.

157
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: Why now, I mean.

158
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 2: They've allowed this to reach this point, So why now?

159
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 2: And what do you make of that?

160
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: Lisa? Great question, and it is you mentioned Mayorcus so

161
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: let's rewind back.

162
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 3: You go back to President Obama and his Secretary of

163
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 3: Homeland Security, Jay Johnson. Well, he said, if we have

164
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,679
Speaker 3: one thousand encounters a day, one thousand, then that.

165
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: Would be a crisis.

166
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 3: We now have ten thousand on average this last week,

167
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 3: I mean some days eleven thousand migrants coming across our border. Now,

168
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 3: Secretary Mayorcis happened to be the deputy at the time

169
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 3: in which Secretary j Johnson said that one thousand was

170
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 3: a crisis. But yet when I had him in front

171
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 3: of us with our Homeland Security Subcommittee, I'm the ranking

172
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 3: member of that on appropriations, he refused. Lisa refused to

173
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 3: call it a crisis. I think we are seeing that

174
00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 3: they understand that something has to be done. Unfortunately, though,

175
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 3: we saw President Biden tried to shield himself from them,

176
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 3: beginning to put up these barriers, these physical barriers, putting

177
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 3: up remaining parts of the wall, saying that Congress quote

178
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 3: made him do.

179
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: That, and walls don't work.

180
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 3: What I have to stay back to Joe Biden on

181
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 3: that is he knows wal's work because he built one

182
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 3: around his house, his beach house in Delaware. He knows

183
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 3: that because he has one around his house in DC.

184
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 3: He knows that Wall's work. And what I want him

185
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 3: to understand is the people, everyday, people of this country, Americans,

186
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 3: deserve the same safety and security that he does. And

187
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 3: to your earlier point about being a mom, I mean,

188
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 3: that's another thing that this administration continues to turn a

189
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 3: blind eye to, continues to they continue to try to

190
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 3: distance themselves from what's happening with fentanyl poisoning across this nation.

191
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 3: We know that fentanyl is a leading cause of death

192
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 3: between the ages of eighteen and forty five. We know

193
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 3: that over three hundred people a day are dying of

194
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 3: fentanyl poisoning. And yet this administration, we know where it's

195
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 3: coming from, has refused to actually secure our border. And

196
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 3: all of the funding that they're asking for, Lisa, particularly

197
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 3: in the supplemental that they just ask us, a complete

198
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 3: and total joke. It is actually just to fuel this

199
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 3: crisis more and more, and it is not to actually

200
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 3: stop it. And I believe we have to stand up

201
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 3: and say enough is enough. We must secure our border

202
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 3: and put the people of this nation first.

203
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 2: Totally agree with you on that, Amen, And I don't

204
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 2: want to ask you on the mom front I know

205
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 2: you've recently introduced a legislation regarding social media. Tell us

206
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 2: a little bit about what you introduced, why you introduced it,

207
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 2: and why it's important to you.

208
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, so this is I think that this is one

209
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 3: of the most critical issues facing our country right now,

210
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 3: is our youth and what is happening, the mental health

211
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 3: crisis that's occurring, and what can we do to put

212
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 3: up some guardrails to help young people'll be able to

213
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 3: navigate this. And so what we did is came together

214
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 3: with Brian Schottz and Chris Murphy and Tom Cotton and myself.

215
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 3: So we did not come to the table as Democrats

216
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 3: or Republicans. We came to the table as four concerned parents.

217
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 3: We put together a very simple piece of legislation. It

218
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 3: is only eight pages, and Lisa, you know that nothing

219
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 3: in DC is only eight pages. But it just says

220
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 3: you cannot be on social media before you're thirteen. That's

221
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 3: what the social media companies say they do anyway, so

222
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 3: this should not be a problem.

223
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 1: It then says step two that you have to.

224
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 3: Have parental consent to be on that social media platform

225
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 3: between the ages of thirteen and seventeen. And I think

226
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 3: Senator Cotton said this best. He said, parents want the

227
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 3: same rights they have in the real world, meaning if

228
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 3: your child is going to play soccer, you sign a

229
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 3: permission slip. If your child is going to not ride

230
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 3: the bus home from the basketball game, you send an

231
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 3: email to.

232
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 1: Let them know who they're going to ride with.

233
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 3: So it's just the opportunity to give that consent that

234
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 3: says you can sit down with your kid and say,

235
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 3: you know what, TikTok is not for you, why don't

236
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 3: we try be real? Or you can say you know, yeah,

237
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 3: you can do Instagram, but I want you to understand

238
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 3: that every post, every like, every comment doesn't just stay

239
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 3: with you today, it stays with you forever. And we

240
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 3: are in a different error where social media and the

241
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 3: ability to cyberbully.

242
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: I call it virtual egging.

243
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 3: I mean back when we grew up, it would have

244
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 3: been you know, egging someone's house, or they.

245
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: Rolled it, or they did this or that.

246
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 3: Now it's it's in a way that's displayed for the

247
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 3: whole world to see, and it's challenging. You add that

248
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 3: with front facing cameras and it's a lot. And the

249
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 3: last thing that this bill does is it just says,

250
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 3: you cannot use algorithms against our kids. And I think

251
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 3: that this may be the most important part, but it's

252
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 3: what the social media companies have the biggest issue with

253
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 3: because the age is thirteen to seventeen, that's where you

254
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 3: can't use the algorithms under this bill. Is actually one

255
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 3: of the most profitable demographics for these social media companies.

256
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 3: We have found that the longer youth stay on certain content,

257
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 3: then the more money that can be made. Well, the

258
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 3: more depressing the content, the longer people stay on. We

259
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 3: have seen across the nation between twenty eleven and twenty

260
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 3: nineteen the rate of depression.

261
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: More than doubled.

262
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 3: When you looked at that and during that time period

263
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 3: from our youth, and it coincides exactly with when the

264
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 3: rise of social media occurred. We look at last year,

265
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 3: one and three high school young women said she seriously

266
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 3: considered taking her home life and then Lisa actually one

267
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 3: in nine high school kids said they actually attempted death

268
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 3: by suicide.

269
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: And you know, as a mom, you know this.

270
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 3: I'm raising I have a thirteen year old and a

271
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 3: fourteen year old. I see it in my own home.

272
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 3: I talk to my friends, we talk about what they're

273
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 3: going through and we've got to do something.

274
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: I mean, as.

275
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 3: Adults, we are challenged in this space and how to

276
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 3: handle it. We've got to do more to put up

277
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 3: proper guardrails to protect our kids, to allow them to

278
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 3: be kids and allow them to grow and flourish and

279
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 3: health the environment.

280
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 2: Let's take a quick commercial break more a centator bread.

281
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:16,719
Speaker 2: On the other side, we look at what happened to

282
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 2: Kevin McCarthy, you know Aliston, Speaker of the House. You

283
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 2: know Donald Trump, the likely Republican nominee, is facing indictments.

284
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 2: I just I worry about how we're going to look

285
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 2: to independence next year. How do you think we win

286
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 2: them over?

287
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 3: I think we talk about these very issues that we're

288
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 3: talking about right now. I mean, people they want leaders

289
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 3: that lead in a way that allow others to follow.

290
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 3: They want people to talk about the things that matter.

291
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 3: We have record high inflation. You look at the prices

292
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 3: at the gas pump. I mean, that's what my friends

293
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 3: are talking about. You know, we're talking about where we

294
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 3: can buy milk at a better price, which grocery store

295
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 3: we need to go to, or where the gas prices

296
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 3: are lower in the city. People are looking.

297
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: At crime on the I mean, we look at the

298
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: disaster that has occurred all across our country.

299
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 3: We've highlighted it over this past week, both of what

300
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 3: happened with Congressman Quaar among others in DC, what happened

301
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 3: in New York.

302
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: With fatal stabbings.

303
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 3: We've got to return to law and order. We have

304
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 3: got to return to a place where we're protecting the

305
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 3: American dream for the next generation and providing opportunity. Americans

306
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 3: want to know that their leaders understand what they're going

307
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 3: through and that we are working diligently to put them

308
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 3: in the best place possible. They don't want to be forgotten,

309
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 3: they don't want to be put last. And that's exactly

310
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 3: what's happening from this administration and their field policies over

311
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 3: and over and over again. So I think people at

312
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 3: the end of the day will know that we need

313
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 3: to make sure that Joe Biden is a one term president.

314
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 3: We need to get back to governing, and we need

315
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 3: to get back to making sure that the rest of

316
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 3: the world knows that Americans are safer and stronger with

318
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 3: in place that make sure that that that is the

319
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 3: case across the nation.
