1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,279
Speaker 1: Some of you will remember what happened in two thousand

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:06,439
Speaker 1: thirteen when Los Angeles educators decided to hand out taxpayer

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: funded iPads supposedly to help low income students. The iPad

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: program cost over a billion dollars and guess what happened next.

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: Large numbers of iPads soon went missing or were reported stolen.

6
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: Teachers were never properly trained on how to use them,

7
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: many didn't see the need for them. Internet access in

8
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: the scrowls with spotty The iPad for Poor Kids program

9
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: ended up as a total disaster. Even the Los Angeles

10
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: Times called it ill conceived and half baked. Well, now

11
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,919
Speaker 1: New York State is about to embark on a new program.

12
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 1: They're going to give free tablets to all of their

13
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: inmates in prison. Supposedly, these tablets will not be able

14
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 1: to connect to the Internet all the time. There will

15
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: be controlled access so that prison inmates can email loved

16
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: ones to help them stay in touch, and they'll be

17
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: allowed to purchase e books, videos, and other entertainment. Anybody

18
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: with a brain can predict where this is going before

19
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: it happens. You put this kind of technology in the

20
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: hands of criminals in prisons already overrun by gangs and

21
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: all sorts of deadly miscreants. It's not going to end well.

22
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: And we haven't even talked about pornography yet. But when

23
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,919
Speaker 1: liberals fail at something, folks they never learned the lesson.

24
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: They double down, and they fail up and keep failing

25
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: up until they get to the top of the failure

26
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:34,040
