illegal at that time 224 00:19:28,423 --> 00:19:28,673 and I find that the that 225 00:19:28,923 --> 00:19:29,173 theory and I'm skipping a lot of 226 00:19:31,189 --> 00:19:31,439 these details but I I find 227 00:19:32,423 --> 00:19:32,673 that the owner of the website is 228 00:19:33,189 --> 00:19:33,439 someone who was running for con 229 00:19:34,923 --> 00:19:35,173 in in the state of

236 00:19:49,023 --> 00:19:49,273 I reached out to multiple media 237 00:19:51,156 --> 00:19:51,406 sources none of which actually 238 00:19:52,923 --> 00:19:53,173 followed through and did 239 00:19:53,423 --> 00:19:53,673 anything about this or or made 240 00:19:54,123 --> 00:19:54,373 this story public and 241 00:19:57,156 --> 00:19:57,406 then you all these years 242 00:20:00,389 --> 00:20:00,639 later you know I'm sorry two 243 00:20:01,389 --> 00:20:01,639 years later after I reported 244 00:20:03,123 --> 00:20:03,373 everything and in between 245 00:20:06,389 --> 00:20:06,639 the thehaw Ryan show is where 246 00:20:06,989 --> 00:20:07,239 I'm getting to 247 00:20:10,389 --> 00:20:10,639 it's the six months after I 248 00:20:11,189 --> 00:20:11,439 reported it that same politician 249 00:20:12,889 --> 00:20:13,139 was arrested with a 13 year old 250 00:20:15,056 --> 00:20:15,306 girl that he raped and kidnapped 251 00:20:15,689 --> 00:20:15,939 in Denver, Colorado 252 00:20:18,389 --> 00:20:18,639 and and that would have been 253 00:20:20,623 --> 00:20:20,873 prevented along with the the 254 00:20:22,389 --> 00:20:22,639 which skipping a lot of details 255 00:20:23,156 --> 00:20:23,406 again 13 other victims that I 256 00:20:25,156 --> 00:20:25,406 was able to identify from this 257 00:20:26,389 --> 00:20:26,639 website that could have been 258 00:20:27,156 --> 00:20:27,406 prevented if things happened in 259 00:20:30,389 --> 00:20:30,639 a timely fashion so the reason 260 00:20:31,189 --> 00:20:31,439 why I ended up on Sean Ryan and 261 00:20:32,889 --> 00:20:33,139 Tucker carlson and Patrick all 262 00:20:34,656 --> 00:20:34,906 these different podcasts but 263 00:20:36,623 --> 00:20:36,873 because of this initial website 264 00:20:38,423 --> 00:20:38,673 that I that you know breached 265 00:20:39,156 --> 00:20:39,406 their database released an inf 266 00:20:41,156 --> 00:20:41,406 they released it you know to 267

themselves that were selling 274 00:20:51,056 --> 00:20:51,306 themselves on this website 275 00:20:52,356 --> 00:20:52,606 because that was happening as 276 00:20:54,889 --> 00:20:55,139 well but I I talked about 277 00:20:56,389 --> 00:20:56,639 this story on a very small 278 00:20:58,656 --> 00:20:58,906 podcast and thenhaw Ryan who has 279 00:21:00,389 --> 00:21:00,639 a large podcast reached out to 280 00:21:01,156 --> 00:21:01,406 me I never knew I never even 281 00:21:02,923 --> 00:21:03,173 heard of the guy at that time at 282 00:21:04,923 --> 00:21:05,173 least he reaches out to me

00:21:24,873 dangers of you know the 293 00:21:25,123 --> 00:21:25,373 internet and show some live 294 00:21:26,656 --> 00:21:26,906 examples of how quickly these 295 00:21:28,489 --> 00:21:28,739 predators will prey on our 296 00:21:29,023 --> 00:21:29,273 children 297 00:21:32,356 --> 00:21:32,606 and and he was mind blown by 298 00:21:33,056 --> 00:21:33,306 it but we thought at the time 299 00:21:34,656 --> 00:21:34,906 that YouTube wasn't gonna make 300 00:21:35,323 --> 00:21:35,573 it you know it wasn't gonna make 301 00:21:36,656 --> 00:21:36,906 it five minutes on YouTube 302 00:21:38,856 --> 00:21:39,106 because of how graphic it was so 303 00:21:40,656 --> 00:21:40,906 he posts it anyway he took the 304 00:21:42,389 --> 00:21:42,639 chance of losing his channel, 305 00:21:43,123 --> 00:21:43,373 you know he took the chance of 306 00:21:44,356 --> 00:21:44,606 the credibility because he 307 00:21:46,389 --> 00:21:46,639 didn't know who I was and 308 00:21:47,089

00:27:51,356 --> 00:27:51,606 from the home screen or they'll 504 00:27:52,656 --> 00:27:52,906 they'll put it somewhere that 505 00:27:54,423 --> 00:27:54,673 it's not not easy for you to see 506 00:27:56,656 --> 00:27:56,906 that Snapchat has ai built into 507 00:27:58,889 --> 00:27:59,139 it and it's an Ai chatbot that 508 00:27:59,489 --> 00:27:59,739 that it's obviously has guard 509 00:28:02,623 --> 00:28:02,873 rails it has safety but doesn't 510 00:28:03,289 --> 00:28:03,539 we'll get into more of that in a 511 00:28:04,856 --> 00:28:05,106 minute and how that can be 512 00:28:06,856 --> 00:28:07,106 bypassed and kids are bypassing 513 00:28:09,089 --> 00:28:09,339 it it's a free Aibot that 514 00:28:11,123 --> 00:28:11,373 kids are utilizing and that was 515 00:28:14,656 --> 00:28:14,906 tested as well by a different 516 00:28:15,256 --> 00:28:15,506 group I believe it was in 517 00:28:16,889 --> 00:28:17,139 Australia I'm not positive on 518 00:28:18,389 --> 00:28:18,639 that or no I'm sorry it was 519 00:28:19,023 --> 00:28:19,273 tested by a guy named Jeffrey 520 00:28:20,389 --> 00:28:20,639 Fowler. I don't know where he 521 00:28:22,389 --> 00:28:22,639 was from and he posed as a 15 522 00:28:24,389 --> 00:28:24,639 year old girl and it was 523 00:28:24,889 --> 00:28:25,139 teaching kids how to hide 524 00:28:26,889 --> 00:28:27,139 alcohol, how to have sex with 525 00:28:28,889 --> 00:28:29,139 adults it was doing unbelievable 526 00:28:29,589 --> 00:28:29,839 things that I'm I'm sure 527 00:28:30,123 --> 00:28:30,373 Snapchat 528 00:28:33,089 --> 00:28:33,339 was not intending on it it doing 529 00:28:34,923 --> 00:28:35,173 you know, I'm not a conspiracy 530 00:28:36,389 --> 00:28:36,639 theorist and I think all these 531 00:28:37,056 --> 00:28:37,306 Ai companies are trying to harm 532 00:28:38,856 --> 00:28:39,106 our children. I just think that 533 00:28:40,389 --> 00:28:40,639 it's such a new thing and we're 534 00:28:42,656 --> 00:28:42,906 in like the wild west and we 535 00:28:44,389 --> 00:28:44,639 just need to put we need to find 536 00:28:46,389 --> 00:28:46,639 some way to to limit the 537 00:28:48,656 --> 00:28:48,906 access for these children in and 538 00:28:50,623 --> 00:28:50,873 I believe age verification which 539 00:28:52,389 --> 00:28:52,639 we'll get into as well but 540 00:28:53,123 --> 00:28:53,373 yeah it's a the these Ai 541 00:28:54,889 --> 00:28:55,139 platforms you can easily steer 542 00:28:56,623 --> 00:28:56,873 them in any direction 543 00:28:58,623 --> 00:28:58,873 unfortunately and sometimes 544 00:28:59,356 --> 00:28:59,606 that ends up in kids hurting 545 00:29:00,023 --> 00:29:00,273 themselves or traumatizing 546 00:29:02,689 --> 00:29:02,939 themselves for life or hurting 547 00:29:03,356 --> 00:29:03,606 other people 548 00:29:07,089 --> 00:29:07,339 you mentioned the 549 00:29:10,856 --> 00:29:11,106 the the instances where you had 550 00:29:15,323 --> 00:29:15,573 a a child a teen that was the 551 00:29:17,089 --> 00:29:17,339 conversation had turned intimate 552 00:29:20,389 --> 00:29:20,639 or sexual in nature and that 553 00:29:21,123 --> 00:29:21,373 spurred a couple of things that 554 00:29:23,123 --> 00:29:23,373 I'd remembered from researching 555 00:29:26,356 --> 00:29:26,606 earlier in the year and that 556 00:29:27,323 --> 00:29:27,573 is that in Japan they actually 557 00:29:29,089 --> 00:29:29,339 had somebody that married their 558 00:29:32,623 --> 00:29:32,873 Ai social companion I have 559 00:29:34,389 --> 00:29:34,639 not heard about that happening 560 00:29:36,856 --> 00:29:37,106 in the United States but you 561 00:29:37,489 --> 00:29:37,739 you know 562 00:29:40,856 --> 00:29:41,106 there's another situation 563 00:29:44,356 --> 00:29:44,606 where where you have Ai that 564 00:29:46,389 --> 00:29:46,639 is turning the interaction with 565 00:29:48,889 --> 00:29:49,139 the teen intimate and I don't 566 00:29:50,389 --> 00:29:50,639 know if you're familiar with 567 00:29:51,123 --> 00:29:51,373 this lady but her name's alyssa 568 00:29:53,123 --> 00:29:53,373 Goldberg. she's a wellness 569 00:29:54,489 --> 00:29:54,739 reporter for USA today 570 00:30:00,389 --> 00:30:00,639 and she did a study in2025 where 571 00:30:02,589 --> 00:30:02,839 she had a team and they all 572 00:30:04,856 --> 00:30:05,106 masqueraded as teenagers and 573 00:30:08,389 --> 00:30:08,639 they got on various Ai 574 00:30:08,856 --> 00:30:09,106 platforms I think it was 575 00:30:10,889 --> 00:30:11,139 character Ai was what they were 576 00:30:12,623 --> 00:30:12,873 what they set up their accounts 577 00:30:16,856 --> 00:30:17,106 on and they were on there for 578 00:30:19,089 --> 00:30:19,339 roughly50 hours and there 579 00:30:22,623 --> 00:30:22,873 were650 what she termed 580 00:30:24,489 --> 00:30:24,739 harmful interactions which are 581 00:30:25,156 --> 00:30:25,406 the things that 582 00:30:28,389 --> 00:30:28,639 would run the gamut from 583 00:30:30,623 --> 00:30:30,873 inappropriate relationships to 584 00:30:33,256 --> 00:30:33,506 drug use to self harm to harming 585 00:30:34,889 --> 00:30:35,139 others to hate speech to you 586 00:30:35,489 --> 00:30:35,739 name it and 587 00:30:37,689 --> 00:30:37,939 so I guess 588 00:30:42,889 --> 00:30:43,139 is there a is there a 589 00:30:46,689 --> 00:30:46,939 is there a clear delineation 590 00:30:48,856 --> 00:30:49,106 between 591 00:30:52,856 --> 00:30:53,106 what is and understand you 592 00:30:55,089 --> 00:30:55,339 I'm I'm speaking as a a bit of a 593 00:30:58,856 --> 00:30:59,106 a caveman when it comes to 594 00:31:00,889 --> 00:31:01,139 technology things but is there a 595 00:31:03,156 --> 00:31:03,406 a way to draw a very clear 596 00:31:06,623 --> 00:31:06,873 distinction between an Ai 597 00:31:07,389 --> 00:31:07,639 assistant and an Ai agent 598 00:31:13,123 --> 00:31:13,373 so an AI agent and an AI 599 00:31:16,389 --> 00:31:16,639 assistant they so do you mean 600 00:31:17,123 --> 00:31:17,373 companion or do you mean agent 601 00:31:17,789 --> 00:31:18,039 just to be clarify 602 00:31:22,656 --> 00:31:22,906 Well I guess do I guess the 603 00:31:23,423 --> 00:31:23,673 answer to that to that question 604 00:31:27,156 --> 00:31:27,406 may be I think so the what 605 00:31:28,889 --> 00:31:29,139 I was looking at what my 606 00:31:30,423 --> 00:31:30,673 research indicated that an 607 00:31:32,623 --> 00:31:32,873 assistant would accomplish tasks 608 00:31:34,889 --> 00:31:35,139 but an agent would actually take 609 00:31:38,423 --> 00:31:38,673 actions and so that's really 610 00:31:39,189 --> 00:31:39,439 like that a lot of these things 611 00:31:39,856 --> 00:31:40,106 are actually 612 00:31:44,389 --> 00:31:44,639 they're they're very close to 613 00:31:46,656 --> 00:31:46,906 being that that they're 614 00:31:48,423 --> 00:31:48,673 taking actions they're not just 615 00:31:49,156 --> 00:31:49,406 helping you solve your math 616 00:31:49,723 --> 00:31:49,973 problem or do research for 617 00:31:50,289 --> 00:31:50,539 example. 618 00:31:54,856 --> 00:31:55,106 so with I'll give you an example 619 00:31:56,856 --> 00:31:57,106 of a real life use case of an 620 00:31:59,123 --> 00:31:59,373 agent or an agent swarm in Ai 621 00:32:02,423 --> 00:32:02,673 which is not a companion but you 622 00:32:03,056 --> 00:32:03,306 can use ai for anything that's 623 00:32:04,889 --> 00:32:05,139 that's there that's the the 624 00:32:06,856 --> 00:32:07,106 blessing and the curse of ai 625 00:32:10,389 --> 00:32:10,639 when you ask for example chatgpt 626 00:32:11,123 --> 00:32:11,373 on the very the most basic 627 00:32:14,889 --> 00:32:15,139 example how do I make you 628 00:32:17,123 --> 00:32:17,373 know banana banana cake or 629 00:32:18,889 --> 00:32:19,139 banana pie or you know whatever 630 00:32:21,189 --> 00:32:21,439 let's say a recipe it's gonna 631 00:32:21,856 --> 00:32:22,106 respond with with whatever it 632 00:32:24,889 --> 00:32:25,139 can put together as patterns and 633 00:32:26,856 --> 00:32:27,106 it's a big neural network of 634 00:32:27,423 --> 00:32:27,673 information that connects you 635 00:32:30,889 --> 00:32:31,139 know banana cake recipes fruit 636 00:32:32,623 --> 00:32:32,873 freshness you know all all of 637 00:32:34,389 --> 00:32:34,639 the things you can think about 638 00:32:35,023 -->

00:33:06,639 which is a very very dumbed 658 00:33:07,123 --> 00:33:07,373 down version of it and I 659 00:33:09,356 --> 00:33:09,606 apologize for that an 660 00:33:12,889 --> 00:33:13,139 agent where only is spawned when 661 00:33:14,389 --> 00:33:14,639 it needs help for example. so 662 00:33:16,389 --> 00:33:16,639 let's say we're building a 3D 663 00:33:18,923 --> 00:33:19,173 diagram of a courthouse and 664 00:33:20,656 --> 00:33:20,906 and we want to make sure that we 665 00:33:22,389 --> 00:33:22,639 get the front parking lot and we 666 00:33:23,123 --> 00:33:23,373 want to get the

assistant to 670 00:33:31,123 --> 00:33:31,373 build that it would do an ok job 671 00:33:32,656 --> 00:33:32,906 at that and it would take a 672 00:33:33,189 --> 00:33:33,439 substantial amount of time 673 00:33:35,123 --> 00:33:35,373 that that assistant can call out 674 00:33:37,089 --> 00:33:37,339 to its agents which are just 675 00:33:38,856 --> 00:33:39,106 other mini assistants for better 676 00:33:40,623 --> 00:33:40,873 words that will say like your 677 00:33:42,389 --> 00:33:42,639 job is to build the cars and 678 00:33:44,389 --> 00:33:44,639 then this and agent too your job

00:33:50,823 --> 00:33:51,073 forth to the agents are usually 683 00:33:53,089 --> 00:33:53,339 a lesser powerful model 684 00:33:56,389 --> 00:33:56,639 meaning like the like the the 685 00:33:58,389 --> 00:33:58,639 strength and the the accuracy of 686 00:33:59,123 --> 00:33:59,373 the model they're usually lesser 687 00:34:00,856 --> 00:34:01,106 you can make them the same but 688 00:34:02,656 --> 00:34:02,906 they're usually less so the 689 00:34:03,223 --> 00:34:03,473 assistant is basically the 690 00:34:04,923 --> 00:34:05,173 supervisor running everything 691 00:34:06,656 --> 00:34:06,906 and all the agents below it are 692 00:34:08,389 --> 00:34:08,639 doing the smaller tasks and then 693 00:34:09,389 --> 00:34:09,639 at the end they convene together 694 00:34:10,889 --> 00:34:11,139 and they they they give you 695 00:34:12,389 --> 00:34:12,639 the output that you were looking 696 00:34:14,389 --> 00:34:14,639 for so that can be used 697 00:34:16,389 --> 00:34:16,639 obviously as a companion or can 698 00:34:18,623 --> 00:34:18,873 be used inappropriately but are 699 00:34:20,589 --> 00:34:20,839 usually it is used for 700 00:34:21,356 --> 00:34:21,606 development purposes or for 701 00:34:23,189 --> 00:34:23,439 something that requires a a 702 00:34:24,923 --> 00:34:25,173 large work the big 703 00:34:25,356 --> 00:34:25,606 workload 704 00:34:30,389 --> 00:34:30,639 Thank you. 705 00:34:32,856 --> 00:34:33,106 getting into some particulars of 706 00:34:36,389 --> 00:34:36,639 of the legislation that we tried 707 00:34:38,623 --> 00:34:38,873 to pass last year one of the 708 00:34:40,623 --> 00:34:40,873 things that I wanted to do was 709 00:34:42,923 --> 00:34:43,173 to make it some mandatory age 710 00:34:44,656 --> 00:34:44,906 verification and not just 711 00:34:48,389 --> 00:34:48,639 something pretty robust not 712 00:34:49,256 --> 00:34:49,506 just click the box that says 713 00:34:49,789 --> 00:34:50,039 you're older than21 714 00:34:54,389 --> 00:34:54,639 so I was looking for a 715 00:34:56,656 --> 00:34:56,906 similar thing of what I was 716 00:34:58,389 --> 00:34:58,639 understanding is the law 717 00:34:58,889 --> 00:34:59,139 regarding pornography 718 00:35:01,156 --> 00:35:01,406 consumption and in Florida and 719 00:35:02,656 --> 00:35:02,906 that would be that you would 720 00:35:04,623 --> 00:35:04,873 have to upload your government 721 00:35:07,156 --> 00:35:07,406 issued photoidD can you speak to 722 00:35:08,956 --> 00:35:09,206 that of or any pitfalls or 723 00:35:09,556 --> 00:35:09,806 difficulties associated with 724 00:35:10,223 --> 00:35:10,473 that 725 00:35:15,156 --> 00:35:15,406 mean I don't know a ton about it 726 00:35:17,123 --> 00:35:17,373 but I do know that the main 727 00:35:19,156 --> 00:35:19,406 theres there's a website pornhub 728 00:35:20,889 --> 00:35:21,139 which may many of you may be 729 00:35:22,623 --> 00:35:22,873 familiar with what you heard 730 00:35:24,389 --> 00:35:24,639 heard it on TV or you know you 731 00:35:25,123 --> 00:35:25,373 know somebody that's been on the 732 00:35:26,623 --> 00:35:26,873 website but I think it's one of 733 00:35:27,389 --> 00:35:27,639 the largest if not the largest 734 00:35:28,956 --> 00:35:29,206 sites out there that was 735 00:35:30,689 --> 00:35:30,939 allowing or still is allowing 736 00:35:32,656 --> 00:35:32,906 people to upload their own 737 00:35:36,389 --> 00:35:36,639 content sexual in nature so 738 00:35:38,389 --> 00:35:38,639 their site ended up having a a 739 00:35:39,156 --> 00:35:39,406 ton of child sexual abuse 740 00:35:40,923 --> 00:35:41,173 material on there because they 741 00:35:41,589 --> 00:35:41,839 they couldn't confirm what was 742 00:35:44,656 --> 00:35:44,906 a child and what was not a child 743 00:35:46,389 --> 00:35:46,639 so so I think that's where 744 00:35:47,123 --> 00:35:47,373 this started from and why the 745 00:35:49,156 --> 00:35:49,406 the ID verification started to 746 00:35:51,123 --> 00:35:51,373 become a thing for pornhub let's 747 00:35:53,156 --> 00:35:53,406 say as a big company they said 748 00:35:54,923 -->

00:37:49,156 --> 00:37:49,406 wrong and then people started to 812 00:37:52,623 --> 00:37:52,873 sell aged accounts on eBay so 813 00:37:54,356 --> 00:37:54,606 that predators can say ok I'm 814

00:38:03,123 --> 00:38:03,373 that became a huge problem so 821 00:38:05,123 --> 00:38:05,373 that's in my opinion out of the 822 00:38:07,389 --> 00:38:07,639 question the only way that I 823 00:38:10,689 --> 00:38:10,939 can see this happening would be 824 00:38:12,623 --> 00:38:12,873 if the child has some sort of ID 825 00:38:13,289 --> 00:38:13,539 whether it be a school ID 826 00:38:14,656 --> 00:38:14,906 a photo ID I believe 827 00:38:18,889 --> 00:38:19,139 that that you you said 828 00:38:21,123 --> 00:38:21,373 that we I'm sorry not we 829 00:38:23,123 --> 00:38:23,373

gateway into what 853 00:39:08,423 --> 00:39:08,673 we're seeing related to human 854 00:39:10,623 --> 00:39:10,873 trafficking that these might 855 00:39:12,656 --> 00:39:12,906 not actually be the parents of 856 00:39:14,389 --> 00:39:14,639 the children's accounts that 857 00:39:15,023 --> 00:39:15,273 they're setting up and that 858 00:39:16,889 --> 00:39:17,139 could potentially lead to more 859 00:39:18,656 --> 00:39:18,906 exploitation which is obviously 860 00:39:19,289 --> 00:39:19,539 what we're hoping to guard 861 00:39:19,856 --> 00:39:20,106 against. 862 00:39:23,156 --> 00:39:23,406 totally understand but you 863 00:39:25,123 --> 00:39:25,373 know the a different someone was 864 00:39:26,889 --> 00:39:27,139 let's say a human trafficker was 865 00:39:28,889 -->

00:40:11,156 --> 00:40:11,406 could say somebody you know that 888 00:40:11,789 --> 00:40:12,039 is older 889 00:40:14,656 --> 00:40:14,906 touched me and what should I do 890 00:40:15,323 --> 00:40:15,573 about it and and you have to 891 00:40:17,089 --> 00:40:17,339 hope that that Ai agent responds 892 00:40:20,389 --> 00:40:20,639 you know the correct way which 893 00:40:21,089 --> 00:40:21,339 you know I think a lot of them 894 00:40:23,123 --> 00:40:23,373 would immediately but that 895 00:40:24,623 --> 00:40:24,873 could change depending on how 896 00:40:26,389 --> 00:40:26,639 the kid responds if you were 897 00:40:28,389 --> 00:40:28,639 to add some limitation let's say 898 00:40:30,389 --> 00:40:30,639 for a parent to upload theiridD 899 00:40:31,123 --> 00:40:31,373 whether that be a trafficker or 900 00:40:32,889 --> 00:40:33,139 a parent it's a they're still 901 00:40:34,856 --> 00:40:35,106 they they're now validating 902 00:40:36,889 --> 00:40:37,139 their identity and saying these 903 00:40:38,889 --> 00:40:39,139 children are my responsibility 904 00:40:41,156 --> 00:40:41,406 you know I I I think that 905 00:40:41,689 --> 00:40:41,939 without the parents 906 00:40:44,856 --> 00:40:45,106 having any you know I don't 907 00:40:45,423 --> 00:40:45,673 know if I'm wording this 908 00:40:46,856 --> 00:40:47,106 correctly but kids can use it 909 00:40:48,889 --> 00:40:49,139 publicly anyway and anonymously 910 00:40:50,856 --> 00:40:51,106 if if we take that away from 911 00:40:52,623 --> 00:40:52,873 them I don't see how personally 912 00:40:54,389 --> 00:40:54,639 that the traffickers could 913 00:40:55,023 --> 00:40:55,273 could create a worse problem 914 00:41:02,456 --> 00:41:02,706 thank you very much for for 915 00:41:03,023 --> 00:41:03,273 explaining that 916 00:41:10,423 --> 00:41:10,673 you you'd mentioned 917 00:41:14,389 --> 00:41:14,639 the the the variety of AI 918 00:41:16,823 --> 00:41:17,073 platforms that are out there 919 00:41:20,389 --> 00:41:20,639 and that they've all got tools 920 00:41:22,389 --> 00:41:22,639 in their various I use that word 921 00:41:25,323 --> 00:41:25,573 in air quotes where for that 922 00:41:26,623 --> 00:41:26,873 that could be used for either 923 00:41:27,323 --> 00:41:27,573 for good or for ill 924 00:41:32,623 --> 00:41:32,873 some of these things like they 925 00:41:34,656 --> 00:41:34,906 don't cost any money so can you 926 00:41:36,389 --> 00:41:36,639 expound on a little bit about 927 00:41:37,423 --> 00:41:37,673 what the motivation is 928 00:41:44,389 --> 00:41:44,639 for the Ai providers to engage 929 00:41:45,123 --> 00:41:45,373 with the with with us 930 00:41:50,623 --> 00:41:50,873 absolutely so so a lot of them 931 00:41:52,589

00:41:57,139 model so there's two things 935 00:41:58,889 --> 00:41:59,139 there. number one is they're 936 00:42:01,123 --> 00:42:01,373 trying to collect data to train 937 00:42:02,623 --> 00:42:02,873 their models on things that it's 938 00:42:04,889 --> 00:42:05,139 unaware of if all these 939 00:42:06,389 --> 00:42:06,639 companies are competing on who 940 00:42:08,389 -->

00:42:14,873 and the reason why it's free for 944 00:42:16,389 --> 00:42:16,639 you know it's it's let's say you 945 00:42:17,089 --> 00:42:17,339 upload your bank statements or 946 00:42:17,756 -->

it doesn't 950 00:42:24,889 --> 00:42:25,139 already know if if you 951 00:42:27,123 --> 00:42:27,373 haven't explicitly told that 952 00:42:28,656 --> 00:42:28,906 model that you don't want to 953

00:42:34,623 --> 00:42:34,873 utilize that information which 957 00:42:37,123 --> 00:42:37,373 data in2026 is money so that's 958 00:42:40,423 --> 00:42:40,673 one and the the second one is is 959 00:42:42,389 --> 00:42:42,639 to serve advertisements so you 960 00:42:43,156 --> 00:42:43,406 could go on chatgpT for example 961 00:42:46,689 --> 00:42:46,939 look up ads like chatgPT ads and 962

1313 00:53:43,123 --> 00:53:43,373 super unequipped when it comes 1314 00:53:44,456 --> 00:53:44,706 to methodology tooling 1315 00:53:49,089 --> 00:53:49,339 platforms and just just 1316 00:53:52,656 --> 00:53:52,906 training so they I spend most 1317 00:53:54,656 --> 00:53:54,906 of my days working with agencies 1318 00:53:56,389 --> 00:53:56,639 and departments to to get them 1319 00:53:57,123 --> 00:53:57,373 up to speed but I'm just one guy 1320 00:54:00,389 --> 00:54:00,639 so I that keeps me up at night 1321 00:54:01,123 --> 00:54:01,373 personally because I know that 1322 00:54:02,889 --> 00:54:03,139 more can be done by law 1323 00:54:04,623 --> 00:54:04,873 enforcement and and we could 1324 00:54:05,223 --> 00:54:05,473 be arresting more of the bad 1325 00:54:08,389 --> 00:54:08,639 guys but I also believe that 1326 00:54:09,123 --> 00:54:09,373 preventing it from happening in 1327 00:54:10,923 --> 00:54:11,173 the first place is the preferred 1328 00:54:12,923 --> 00:54:13,173 outcome in my opinion. so a a 1329 00:54:13,523 --> 00:54:13,773 child has already been 1330 00:54:14,489 --> 00:54:14,739 victimized is now traumatized 1331 00:54:17,089 --> 00:54:17,339 for life. yeah of course we want 1332 00:54:18,856 --> 00:54:19,106 the guy arrested we want the guy 1333 00:54:20,423 --> 00:54:20,673 you know even worse some you 1334 00:54:21,189 --> 00:54:21,439 know to some degree in my 1335 00:54:22,923 --> 00:54:23,173 opinion but you know whatever 1336 00:54:23,589 --> 00:54:23,839 the case may be 1337 00:54:26,456 --> 00:54:26,706 you know these these 1338 00:54:29,289 --> 00:54:29,539 these these children they if if 1339 00:54:31,089 --> 00:54:31,339 they could be prevent if if we 1340 00:54:32,823 --> 00:54:33,073 could do something that prevents 1341 00:54:33,489 --> 00:54:33,739 them from 1342 00:54:36,623 --> 00:54:36,873 being hurt in the first place 1343 00:54:37,356 --> 00:54:37,606 which maybe that's age 1344 00:54:38,889 --> 00:54:39,139 verification maybe it's 1345 00:54:40,689 --> 00:54:40,939 something else or maybe it's a 1346 00:54:42,689 --> 00:54:42,939 more law enforcement presence or 1347 00:54:44,656 --> 00:54:44,906 maybe it's it's implementing 1348 00:54:46,889 --> 00:54:47,139 these20 million dollars a day 1349 00:54:48,389 --> 00:54:48,639 for being out of compliance 1350 00:54:49,156 --> 00:54:49,406 maybe you know whatever it is 1351 00:54:50,423 --> 00:54:50,673 that's gonna work or multiples 1352 00:54:51,189 --> 00:54:51,439 of those things that's what I 1353 00:54:54,389 --> 00:54:54,639 think is is the most valuable 1354 00:54:55,123 --> 00:54:55,373 and the reason I say that is not 1355 00:54:57,123 --> 00:54:57,373 only just my thoughts it's 1356 00:54:58,923 --> 00:54:59,173 because you know I'm technically 1357 00:55:00,889 --> 00:55:01,139 a quote unquote content creator 1358 00:55:02,689 --> 00:55:02,939 and half of what my content 1359 00:55:03,223 --> 00:55:03,473 is about is about child crimes 1360 00:55:07,123 --> 00:55:07,373 and and and and you know 1361 00:55:08,723 --> 00:55:08,973 counter human trafficking and a 1362 00:55:10,423 --> 00:55:10,673 lot of parents you know that 1363 00:55:12,389 --> 00:55:12,639 I've I've realized over the the 1364 00:55:13,156 --> 00:55:13,406 years now I have people reaching 1365 00:55:14,656 --> 00:55:14,906 out to me constantly thro 1366 00:55:16,389 --> 00:55:16,639 through the internet you know 1367 00:55:17,189 --> 00:55:17,439 and and when I say constant I 1368 00:55:18,889 --> 00:55:19,139 mean thousands and thousands of 1369 00:55:20,423 --> 00:55:20,673 emails and direct messages a day 1370 00:55:22,656 --> 00:55:22,906 from parents with cases with 1371 00:55:24,423 --> 00:55:24,673 information with with you know 1372 00:55:25,189 --> 00:55:25,439 obviously people telling me that 1373 00:55:26,656 --> 00:55:26,906 they got their children off of 1374 00:55:28,389 --> 00:55:28,639 these apps or they stopped the 1375 00:55:28,989 --> 00:55:29,239 situation because it's something 1376 00:55:30,889 --> 00:55:31,139 they learned in a video that I 1377 00:55:32,923 --> 00:55:33,173 put out as well as walking 1378 00:55:33,456 --> 00:55:33,706 around in public running into 1379 00:55:34,123 --> 00:55:34,373 parents 1380 00:55:36,623 --> 00:55:36,873 and hey thank you so much I got 1381 00:55:37,389 --> 00:55:37,639 my child off of blah blah blah 1382 00:55:38,689 --> 00:55:38,939 blah blah this is something like 1383 00:55:40,923 --> 00:55:41,173 this happened to them so if I'm 1384 00:55:42,656 --> 00:55:42,906 seeing these kids with 1385 00:55:43,123 --> 00:55:43,373 their parents or their parents 1386 00:55:44,923 --> 00:55:45,173 by themselves and they're 1387 00:55:46,889 --> 00:55:47,139 telling me you stop from just at 1388 00:55:48,856 --> 00:55:49,106 me one random computer nerd in 1389 00:55:51,156 --> 00:55:51,406 Florida. I helped them get 1390 00:55:52,656 --> 00:55:52,906 their kid off an application 1391 00:55:54,423 --> 00:55:54,673 where they were being groomed or 1392 00:55:55,156 --> 00:55:55,406 or potentially exploited or 1393 00:55:58,389 --> 00:55:58,639 almost at that stage and I'm 1394 00:55:59,156 --> 00:55:59,406 just running into it by 1395 00:56:00,923 --> 00:56:01,173 chance.hink of the volume of the 1396 00:56:02,423 --> 00:56:02,673 problem for real, you know 1397 00:56:02,923 --> 00:56:03,173 because if I'm just running and 1398 00:56:03,589 --> 00:56:03,839 I'm not saying this is a one off 1399 00:56:06,389 --> 00:56:06,639 situation this happens to me 1400 00:56:07,356 --> 00:56:07,606 multiple times, sometimes a day, 1401 00:56:08,923 --> 00:56:09,173 sometimes and you know a lot of 1402 00:56:10,656 --> 00:56:10,906 times in a week when I'm out in 1403 00:56:12,923 --> 00:56:13,173 public so that's why I say 1404 00:56:14,389 --> 00:56:14,639 preventing it I believe is the 1405 00:56:16,656 --> 00:56:16,906 best the the best possible 1406 00:56:18,389 --> 00:56:18,639 solution if we can you know 1407 00:56:18,989 --> 00:56:19,239 obviously we're not going to 1408 00:56:20,656 --> 00:56:20,906 prevent00% of it but but 1409 00:56:22,456 --> 00:56:22,706 arresting and being being 1410 00:56:24,889 --> 00:56:25,139 proactive instead of reactive I 1411 00:56:27,123 --> 00:56:27,373 think it is the more favorable 1412 00:56:28,489 --> 00:56:28,739 situation but you know 1413 00:56:30,889 --> 00:56:31,139 I'm no lawmaker I've never been 1414 00:56:32,656 --> 00:56:32,906 in a meeting like this before 1415 00:56:34,389 --> 00:56:34,639 but I I definitely I 1416 00:56:36,623 --> 00:56:36,873 definitely know that not 1417 00:56:38,389 --> 00:56:38,639 creating victims in the first 1418 00:56:39,123 --> 00:56:39,373 place is the is what I would 1419 00:56:39,756 --> 00:56:40,006 prefer if I had my my choice 1420 00:56:44,823 --> 00:56:45,073 you think that's really helpful 1421 00:56:47,123 --> 00:56:47,373 especially as states are 1422 00:56:50,389 --> 00:56:50,639 grappling with large settlements 1423 00:56:52,389 --> 00:56:52,639 that were announced a couple of 1424 00:56:54,623 --> 00:56:54,873 weeks ago and so I know I'm 1425 00:56:56,623 --> 00:56:56,873 having conversations trying 1426 00:56:58,389 --> 00:56:58,639 to determine the best way to use 1427 00:57:00,389 --> 00:57:00,639 that those funds and the 1428 00:57:00,989 --> 00:57:01,239 responsible way 1429 00:57:02,856 --> 00:57:03,106 to do that to make sure yeah 1430 00:57:05,156 --> 00:57:05,406 that we prevent but also we we 1431 00:57:08,356 --> 00:57:08,606 go after the bad actors as well. 1432 00:57:10,623 --> 00:57:10,873 Last question I'll ask you 1433 00:57:11,423 --> 00:57:11,673 from my perspective there 1434 00:57:11,956 --> 00:57:12,206 have 1435 00:57:16,389 --> 00:57:16,639 been I think as of late the last 1436 00:57:17,189 --> 00:57:17,439 couple of weeks we've seen 1437 00:57:20,889 --> 00:57:21,139 this is just more of a broader 1438 00:57:22,623 --> 00:57:22,873 question on Ai as this committee 1439 00:57:24,656 --> 00:57:24,906 sort of tries to grapple with 1440 00:57:26,623 --> 00:57:26,873 how things are moving so quickly 1441 00:57:28,623 --> 00:57:28,873 we've seen some whistleblowers 1442 00:57:30,589 --> 00:57:30,839 we've seen from some large 1443 00:57:32,823 --> 00:57:33,073 companies kind of very concerned 1444 00:57:34,423 --> 00:57:34,673 about the direction that we're 1445 00:57:36,423 --> 00:57:36,673 going and I just wondered if 1446 00:57:37,023 --> 00:57:37,273 you had any thoughts that you 1447 00:57:38,389 --> 00:57:38,639 would liked again we're 1448 00:57:40,389 --> 00:57:40,639 lawmakers trying to who are not 1449 00:57:41,189 --> 00:57:41,439 in this space at all just sort 1450 00:57:42,656 --> 00:57:42,906 of understand where we're headed 1451 00:57:43,323 --> 00:57:43,573 and what frontier we're going 1452 00:57:43,989 --> 00:57:44,239 towards. 1453 00:57:48,589 --> 00:57:48,839 So I mean the the only thing 1454 00:57:50,623 --> 00:57:50,873 that that come to mind off 1455 00:57:52,623 --> 00:57:52,873 the top of the head it would be 1456 00:57:54,889 --> 00:57:55,139 just the safety and guardrails 1457 00:57:56,656 --> 00:57:56,906 need to be heavily modified to 1458 00:57:58,389 --> 00:57:58,639 determine if they're talking 1459 00:58:00,389 --> 00:58:00,639 with a child or not. it's 1460 00:58:01,123 --> 00:58:01,373 it's impossible for me to know 1461 00:58:02,856 --> 00:58:03,106 what each company has 1462 00:58:04,656 --> 00:58:04,906 implemented with their their 1463 00:58:06,889 --> 00:58:07,139 safety guardrails so if if 1464 00:58:07,523 --> 00:58:07,773 anyone here isn't familiar with 1465 00:58:10,189 --> 00:58:10,439 what that means it's just a a 1466 00:58:12,923 --> 00:58:13,173 prompt that that so 1467 00:58:14,423 --> 00:58:14,673 sorry if I'm explaining 1468 00:58:14,923 --> 00:58:15,173 something you guys already know 1469 00:58:15,556 --> 00:58:15,806 but 1470 00:58:18,389 --> 00:58:18,639 if you go on chatgpT for example 1471 00:58:19,123 --> 00:58:19,373 using them as the example and 1472 00:58:20,889 --> 00:58:21,139 say I want to learn how to 1473 00:58:22,389 --> 00:58:22,639 make chocolate chip cookies. 1474 00:58:24,656 --> 00:58:24,906 it's gonna read this very very 1475 00:58:26,623 --> 00:58:26,873 long let's say it's 300,0an0 1476 00:58:28,623 --> 00:58:28,873 words it's gonna read this very 1477 00:58:29,256 --> 00:58:29,506 long thing that says this is 1478 00:58:31,156 --> 00:58:31,406 exactly what you can do this is 1479 00:58:32,623 --> 00:58:32,873 how you're gonna word it, this 1480 00:58:33,256 --> 00:58:33,506 is the personality that you're 1481 00:58:34,923 --> 00:58:35,173 gonna take on and here's all the 1482 00:58:36,389 --> 00:58:36,639 thing here's all the tools you 1483 00:58:38,389 --> 00:58:38,639 have access to and here's the a 1484 00:58:39,123 --> 00:58:39,373 huge list of things that you 1485 00:58:41,189 --> 00:58:41,439 can't do. that's the safety 1486 00:58:42,956 --> 00:58:43,206 and guardrails that Ai has right 1487 00:58:44,689 --> 00:58:44,939 now because without that it 1488 00:58:45,256 --> 00:58:45,506 would be it would do 1489 00:58:46,889 --> 00:58:47,139 whatever you asked if you asked 1490 00:58:48,656 --> 00:58:48,906 to make a bioeapon it would make 1491 00:58:49,356 --> 00:58:49,606 a bioeapon and you know and and 1492 00:58:49,989 --> 00:58:50,239 you you know 1493 00:58:52,856 --> 00:58:53,106 you can put put together the 1494 00:58:56,389 --> 00:58:56,639 rest yourself we need those 1495 00:58:57,089 --> 00:58:57,339 guardrails that and all the 1496 00:58:58,889 --> 00:58:59,139 companies have them you know and 1497 00:58:59,589 --> 00:58:59,839 and some of them do better than 1498 00:59:00,623 --> 00:59:00,873 others obviouslybviously we're 1499 00:59:02,623 --> 00:59:02,873 hearing that character.ai at 1500 00:59:04,889 --> 00:59:05,139 least publicly is doing a bad 1501 00:59:06,889 --> 00:59:07,139 job at least in my opinion with 1502 00:59:08,623 --> 00:59:08,873 their with their guardrails. 1503 00:59:09,223 --> 00:59:09,473 kidsds are killing themselves 1504 00:59:11,356 -->

believe a lot more of it's 1511 00:59:22,889 --> 00:59:23,139 happening than we know we're 1512 00:59:24,389 --> 00:59:24,639 only hearing about what is 1513 00:59:24,989 --> 00:59:25,239 publicly out there, what parents 1514 00:59:26,623 --> 00:59:26,873 have reported, what parents have 1515 00:59:27,389 --> 00:59:27,639 caught and on their child's 1516 00:59:28,923 --> 00:59:29,173 phone maybe the kid hasn't even 1517 00:59:30,656 --> 00:59:30,906 came forward to their parents 1518 00:59:32,623 --> 00:59:32,873 about it and you know god 1519 00:59:34,423 --> 00:59:34,673 forbid a kid hurt

00:59:50,423 --> 00:59:50,673 age verification if I'm sorry if 1530 00:59:51,123 --> 00:59:51,373 there weren't age verification 1531 00:59:54,689 --> 00:59:54,939 then trying to work with 1532

bit of a history 1601 01:02:15,056 --> 01:02:15,306 lesson about OICA 1602 01:02:18,389 --> 01:02:18,639 we were created in 1983 in the 1603 01:02:19,123 --> 01:02:19,373 wake of probably one of the 1604 01:02:21,156 --> 01:02:21,406 worst child abuse scandals in 1605 01:02:22,856 --> 01:02:23,106 state's history and that was 1606 01:02:26,356 --> 01:02:26,606 with DHS and the problems 1607 01:02:27,389 --> 01:02:27,639 that with children in and 1608 01:02:30,423 --> 01:02:30,673 juvenile care the decision 1609 01:02:31,123 --> 01:02:31,373 was made at the time to create 1610 01:02:33,123 --> 01:02:33,373 two different entities one a 1611 01:02:36,389 --> 01:02:36,639 state entity to operate to 1612 01:02:38,623 --> 01:02:38,873 prevent it from inside that kind 1613 01:02:40,389 --> 01:02:40,639 of abuse to ever occur again. 1614 01:02:42,656 --> 01:02:42,906 OICA was created to be the 1615 01:02:44,656 --> 01:02:44,906 outside watchdog to speak to 1616 01:02:45,256 --> 01:02:45,506 issues 1617 01:02:48,689 --> 01:02:48,939 of legislation of regulation and 1618 01:02:50,423 --> 01:02:50,673 that sort of thing and we are 1619 01:02:51,089 --> 01:02:51,339 independent we get no state 1620 01:02:51,656 --> 01:02:51,906 money we are 1621 01:02:54,623 --> 01:02:54,873 operated solely on donor dollars 1622 01:02:56,656 --> 01:02:56,906 and what we can raise through 1623 01:02:57,356 --> 01:02:57,606 our events like the heroes ball 1624 01:02:59,123 --> 01:02:59,373 and our fall forum and the chili 1625 01:03:00,623 --> 01:03:00,873 cook off and all the things you 1626 01:03:02,623 --> 01:03:02,873 see us do that gives us an 1627 01:03:04,856 --> 01:03:05,106 independence to be able to speak 1628 01:03:07,123 --> 01:03:07,373 on issues to you and to the 1629 01:03:10,423 --> 01:03:10,673 public on what we think is 1630 01:03:11,023 --> 01:03:11,273 necessary to improve the quality 1631 01:03:12,656 --> 01:03:12,906 of life for Oklahoma's children 1632 01:03:14,889 --> 01:03:15,139 so that's where we come from and 1633 01:03:15,556 --> 01:03:15,806 how we hope to approach 1634 01:03:16,089 --> 01:03:16,339 things 1635 01:03:18,523 --> 01:03:18,773 let's see here 1636 01:03:26,689 --> 01:03:26,939 all righty Ai is a tool it's 1637 01:03:28,423 --> 01:03:28,673 like any other tool that's out 1638 01:03:29,156 --> 01:03:29,406 there it can be used for good or 1639 01:03:32,656 --> 01:03:32,906 it can be used for evil it is 1640 01:03:36,389 --> 01:03:36,639 moving at warp speed and things 1641 01:03:37,423 --> 01:03:37,673 happen very quickly as a matter 1642 01:03:39,156 --> 01:03:39,406 of fact the landscape changed a 1643 01:03:40,923 --> 01:03:41,173 little bit from the time we 1644 01:03:43,156 --> 01:03:43,406 locked thisowPoint on Thursday 1645 01:03:46,623 --> 01:03:46,873 to today but the concerns 1646 01:03:48,389 --> 01:03:48,639 that we have are those that 1647 01:03:49,123 --> 01:03:49,373 we've heard shared already here 1648 01:03:51,189 --> 01:03:51,439 today the generative image tools 1649 01:03:52,689 --> 01:03:52,939 can take real photos and turn 1650 01:03:53,356 --> 01:03:53,606 them into something 1651 01:03:54,923 --> 01:03:55,173 that is just flat wrong 1652 01:03:57,123 --> 01:03:57,373 and then social media 1653 01:04:00,389 --> 01:04:00,639 integration is something else 1654 01:04:02,423 --> 01:04:02,673 kidsd are on social media that 1655 01:04:03,123 --> 01:04:03,373 the toothpaste is out of the 1656 01:04:04,889 --> 01:04:05,139 tube they're not the kids aren't 1657 01:04:06,856 --> 01:04:07,106 coming off social media but that 1658 01:04:09,089 --> 01:04:09,339 is giving access to children to 1659 01:04:10,889 --> 01:04:11,139 those who might not have the 1660 01:04:11,489 --> 01:04:11,739 best intentions of them 1661 01:04:14,923 --> 01:04:15,173 and existing legal frameworks 1662 01:04:16,623 --> 01:04:16,873 designed for traditional imagery 1663 01:04:17,356 --> 01:04:17,606 failed to address the automated 1664 01:04:17,989 --> 01:04:18,239 generation 1665 01:04:20,856 --> 01:04:21,106 and facilitator negligence or 1666 01:04:21,456 --> 01:04:21,706 mal intent 1667 01:04:26,389 --> 01:04:26,639 now our friend Mr Musk has gone 1668 01:04:28,856 --> 01:04:29,106 front in the last 96 hours from 1669 01:04:30,889 --> 01:04:31,139 saying it needs to continue Ai 1670 01:04:32,656 --> 01:04:32,906 growing and expanding just 1671 01:04:34,389 --> 01:04:34,639 exactly the way it always has to 1672 01:04:36,656 --> 01:04:36,906 now he's beginning to suggest 1673 01:04:37,356 --> 01:04:37,606 that maybe we need to slow 1674 01:04:37,923 --> 01:04:38,173 things down a bit 1675 01:04:42,389 --> 01:04:42,639 but his grok and his exAi 1676 01:04:44,623 --> 01:04:44,873 platform are directly integrated 1677 01:04:46,389 --> 01:04:46,639 into one of the social media 1678 01:04:47,123 --> 01:04:47,373 platforms that's most popular 1679 01:04:49,456 --> 01:04:49,706 and that's and that allows users 1680 01:04:51,156 --> 01:04:51,406 to take ordinary public photos 1681 01:04:54,623 --> 01:04:54,873 and do bad things with them 1682 01:04:58,389 --> 01:04:58,639 so we need to make certain that 1683 01:05:00,389 --> 01:05:00,639 criminal imagery is not being 1684 01:05:02,389 --> 01:05:02,639 created of our children through 1685 01:05:04,389 --> 01:05:04,639 these different platforms the 1686 01:05:06,889 --> 01:05:07,139 Ai tool was natively embedded in 1687 01:05:07,623 --> 01:05:07,873 the social networks so it is as 1688 01:05:08,289 --> 01:05:08,539 much a part of it 1689 01:05:12,389 --> 01:05:12,639 as the 140 characters you have 1690 01:05:14,456 --> 01:05:14,706 so it's an area of particular 1691 01:05:15,123 --> 01:05:15,373 concern 1692 01:05:20,389 --> 01:05:20,639 Grok did acknowledge there were 1693 01:05:21,156 --> 01:05:21,406 some problem lapses and 1694 01:05:22,856 --> 01:05:23,106 safeguards was the euphemistic 1695 01:05:24,856 --> 01:05:25,106 term they used so they threw in 1696 01:05:26,389 --> 01:05:26,639 some patches to try to create a 1697 01:05:28,389 --> 01:05:28,639 zero tolerance policy the 1698 01:05:30,389 --> 01:05:30,639 problem is they're basic kid 1699 01:05:32,623 --> 01:05:32,873 mode can be easily bypassed by 1700 01:05:36,389 --> 01:05:36,639 even young people so again what 1701 01:05:37,023 --> 01:05:37,273 we're seeing in the industry is 1702 01:05:38,656 --> 01:05:38,906 we're not seeing enough of the 1703 01:05:40,923 --> 01:05:41,173 safeguards being built in and so 1704 01:05:44,389 --> 01:05:44,639 there needs to be some kind of 1705 01:05:45,023 --> 01:05:45,273 incentive or to 1706 01:05:48,689 --> 01:05:48,939 put the safeguards in or 1707 01:05:50,656 --> 01:05:50,906 disincentive to not have those 1708 01:05:51,323 --> 01:05:51,573 safeguards 1709 01:05:56,389 --> 01:05:56,639 AP has looked into this and it 1710 01:05:58,389 --> 01:05:58,639 sees that rok images depicting 1711 01:06:00,623 --> 01:06:00,873 children can easily be turned 1712 01:06:04,389 --> 01:06:04,639 into CA andXAi introduced 1713 01:06:05,156 --> 01:06:05,406 restrictions in a Dutch court 1714 01:06:08,389 --> 01:06:08,639 orderedAi to immediately cease 1715 01:06:09,123 --> 01:06:09,373 generating nonconsensual 1716 01:06:09,723 --> 01:06:09,973 undressing images 1717 01:06:13,056 --> 01:06:13,306 jury still out on whether that 1718 01:06:14,389 --> 01:06:14,639 was effective or not and that's 1719 01:06:16,389 --> 01:06:16,639 just one country in an entire 1720 01:06:18,489 --> 01:06:18,739 world and here and here's the 1721 01:06:19,156 --> 01:06:19,406 thing about 1722 01:06:19,489 --> 01:06:19,739 Ai

01:06:26,623 --> 01:06:26,873 wild west and the wild west if 1727 01:06:28,389 --> 01:06:28,639 you wanted to communicate with 1728 01:06:29,089 --> 01:06:29,339 someone you either had to use a 1729

01:08:52,906 cases where harm can happen that 1798 01:08:54,756 --> 01:08:55,006 is beyond anything that it could 1799 01:08:55,423 --> 01:08:55,673 have any time in the past 1800 01:09:00,389 --> 01:09:00,639 so we really need to attack the 1801 01:09:02,356 --> 01:09:02,606 criminal bad actors those are 1802 01:09:02,989 --> 01:09:03,239 the bad guys who are really 1803 01:09:03,589 --> 01:09:03,839 doing the the the bad things 1804 01:09:04,256 --> 01:09:04,506 that's 1805 01:09:07,123 --> 01:09:07,373 the statute's primarily focused 1806 01:09:09,123 --> 01:09:09,373 on distribution of nonconsensual 1807 01:09:10,456 --> 01:09:10,706 photos by individuals 1808 01:09:13,156 --> 01:09:13,406 pursuing individual juvenile 1809 01:09:15,089 --> 01:09:15,339 offenders fails to stem the 1810 01:09:16,856 --> 01:09:17,106 automated assembly line of 1811 01:09:18,623 --> 01:09:18,873 generating thousands of harmful 1812 01:09:19,323 --> 01:09:19,573 images daily 1813 01:09:20,623 --> 01:09:20,873 so 1814 01:09:23,123 --> 01:09:23,373 some of these are being created 1815 01:09:25,123 --> 01:09:25,373 not by people as senator 1816 01:09:25,689 --> 01:09:25,939

stronger regulation 1957 01:13:46,656 --> 01:13:46,906 more people are worried than are 1958 01:13:48,889 --> 01:13:49,139 excited about Ai more people 1959 01:13:50,389 --> 01:13:50,639 believe that it is a high or 1960 01:13:51,056 --> 01:13:51,306 very high risk than believe it's 1961 01:13:51,723 --> 01:13:51,973 a low risk 1962 01:13:54,689 --> 01:13:54,939 there are two areas of optimism 1963 01:13:56,389 --> 01:13:56,639 both in scientific research and 1964 01:13:57,089 --> 01:13:57,339 in health care and we're seeing 1965 01:14:00,389 --> 01:14:00,639 Ai make some good strides there 1966 01:14:01,123 --> 01:14:01,373 and that's reflected in the way 1967 01:14:02,456 --> 01:14:02,706 people in the United States CAi 1968 01:14:08,773 --> 01:14:09,023 but4 in5 Americans want to see 1969 01:14:10,623 --> 01:14:10,873 more action when it comes to 1970 01:14:12,889 --> 01:14:13,139 regulating Ai and 81% say 1971 01:14:14,623 --> 01:14:14,873 Washington is not doing enough 1972 01:14:15,289 --> 01:14:15,539 to regulate AI. 1973 01:14:19,223 --> 01:14:19,473 now let's come here home to 1974 01:14:19,789 --> 01:14:20,039 Oklahoma 1975 01:14:25,156 --> 01:14:25,406 a 94% believe that leaders must 1976 01:14:25,823 --> 01:14:26,073 take action 1977 01:14:31,123 --> 01:14:31,373 93cent are concerned about deep 1978 01:14:31,823 --> 01:14:32,073 fakes of minor children

01:14:41,189 --> 01:14:41,439 that you get as elected 1983 01:14:42,489 --> 01:14:42,739 officials where public 1984 01:14:46,423 --> 01:14:46,673 perception and public belief and 1985 01:14:48,923 --> 01:14:49,173 public wants line up with what 1986 01:14:50,489 --> 01:14:50,739 will be good policy for the 1987 01:14:51,056 --> 01:14:51,306 state of Oklahoma 1988 01:14:53,089 --> 01:14:53,339 it's nonpartisan 1989 01:14:56,856 --> 01:14:57,106 people believe strongly in this 1990 01:14:59,089 --> 01:14:59,339 you don't see 94% of the people 1991 01:15:00,656 --> 01:15:00,906 agreeing on what kind of pizza 1992 01:15:02,623 --> 01:15:02,873 to have for lunch but they agree 1993 01:15:03,323 --> 01:15:03,573 that something needs to be done 1994 01:15:03,989 --> 01:15:04,239 to protect children 1995 01:15:06,889 --> 01:15:07,139 and there is a clear mandate 1996 01:15:09,023 --> 01:15:09,273 that you have from the voters 1997 01:15:10,523 --> 01:15:10,773 from the people of the state to 1998 01:15:11,189 --> 01:15:11,439 do something 1999 01:15:15,123 --> 01:15:15,373 so you have a rare opportunity 2000 01:15:16,689 --> 01:15:16,939 to establish a national 2001 01:15:18,389 --> 01:15:18,639 benchmark by closing legal 2002 01:15:20,656 --> 01:15:20,906 loopholes around AI facilitated 2003 01:15:22,656 --> 01:15:22,906 nonconsensual intimate imagery 2004 01:15:24,389 --> 01:15:24,639 empowering the attorney 2005 01:15:24,856 --> 01:15:25,106 general's office in law 2006 01:15:25,323 --> 01:15:25,573 enforcement and protecting 2007 01:15:25,889 --> 01:15:26,139

01:15:35,156 --> 01:15:35,406 steps and be ready to take those 2012 01:15:36,923 --> 01:15:37,173 steps when the legislature comes 2013 01:15:38,523 --> 01:15:38,773 back the first Monday in 2014 01:15:39,089 --> 01:15:39,339 February 2015 01:15:41,089 --> 01:15:41,339 with that madam chairman members 2016 01:15:42,589 --> 01:15:42,839 I'll be happy to try to answer 2017 01:15:44,656 --> 01:15:44,906 questions and let me conclude by 2018 01:15:46,656 --> 01:15:46,906 extending the the regrets of 2019 01:15:50,889 --> 01:15:51,139 Joe Dorman our CEO for 2020 01:15:52,423 --> 01:15:52,673 not being able to be here today 2021 01:15:54,856 --> 01:15:55,106 he's indc doing thelord's work 2022 01:15:56,689 --> 01:15:56,939 fighting for kids in in our 2023 01:15:58,389 --> 01:15:58,639 nation's capital so he would 2024 01:15:59,089 --> 01:15:59,339 have rather been here than me 2025 01:16:02,423 --> 01:16:02,673 but I tried to do ok as far 2026 01:16:03,156 --> 01:16:03,406 as the B team goes and they'd be 2027 01:16:03,889 --> 01:16:04,139 happy to try to answer questions 2028 01:16:07,256 --> 01:16:07,506 any questions for the 2029 01:16:07,689 --> 01:16:07,939 honorablein Gumm 2030 01:16:14,389 --> 01:16:14,639 if there's none right now then 2031 01:16:17,123 --> 01:16:17,373 I've got one or two of the first 2032 01:16:17,756 --> 01:16:18,006 was 2033 01:16:21,123 --> 01:16:21,373 if you might recommend a 2034 01:16:22,656 --> 01:16:22,906 mechanism 2035 01:16:26,656 --> 01:16:26,906 just in a I know we're kind of 2036 01:16:28,389 --> 01:16:28,639 taking a shot in the dark here 2037 01:16:30,623 --> 01:16:30,873 but a mechanism by which we 2038 01:16:34,656 --> 01:16:34,906 might keep Oklahoma's kids safer 2039 01:16:37,123 --> 01:16:37,373 and minimize the collateral 2040 01:16:38,689 --> 01:16:38,939 damage that I think 2041 01:16:42,856 --> 01:16:43,106 that some of the providers of 2042 01:16:46,389 --> 01:16:46,639 the services have mentioned 2043 01:16:48,689 --> 01:16:48,939 that would happen were we to 2044 01:16:50,656 --> 01:16:50,906 institute some type of age 2045 01:16:52,656 --> 01:16:52,906 verification procedures for 2046 01:16:54,623 --> 01:16:54,873 these things I think that's 2047 01:16:56,723 --> 01:16:56,973 critical especially when you 2048 01:16:57,289 --> 01:16:57,539 have the Ai 2049 01:17:01,123 --> 01:17:01,373 platforms with the ability to do 2050 01:17:01,789 --> 01:17:02,039 the things that they do 2051 01:17:04,423 --> 01:17:04,673 some kind of age verification 2052 01:17:07,123 --> 01:17:07,373 it seems reasonable and 2053 01:17:10,423 --> 01:17:10,673 appropriate and again looking 2054 01:17:11,089 --> 01:17:11,339 back at the polling data I think 2055 01:17:12,856 --> 01:17:13,106 you'll see Oklahomans will be 2056 01:17:14,623 --> 01:17:14,873 supportive of that by an 2057 01:17:15,189 --> 01:17:15,439 overwhelming majority 2058 01:17:19,156 --> 01:17:19,406 that has always been the best 2059 01:17:20,889 --> 01:17:21,139 way to protect children from 2060 01:17:22,656 --> 01:17:22,906 things that might be fine for 2061 01:17:24,623 --> 01:17:24,873 them as an adult but not fine 2062 01:17:25,256 --> 01:17:25,506 for them as a child 2063 01:17:28,856 --> 01:17:29,106 alcohol laws as is a perfect 2064 01:17:30,656 --> 01:17:30,906 example of that you have to show 2065 01:17:32,389 --> 01:17:32,639 that you're21 years old to be 2066 01:17:32,989 --> 01:17:33,239 ordered to buy alcoholic 2067 01:17:33,556 --> 01:17:33,806 beverages 2068 01:17:34,756 --> 01:17:35,006 that 2069 01:17:37,189 --> 01:17:37,439 it almost seems too simplistic 2070 01:17:40,456 --> 01:17:40,706 but there's got to be a way to 2071 01:17:41,123 --> 01:17:41,373 make that work 2072 01:17:43,056 --> 01:17:43,306 thank you 2073 01:17:46,856 --> 01:17:47,106 the the the next 2074 01:17:48,823 --> 01:17:49,073 question I would have would be 2075 01:17:52,356 --> 01:17:52,606 can you think of any other 2076 01:17:54,589 --> 01:17:54,839 areas you mentioned alcohol but 2077 01:17:55,289 --> 01:17:55,539 ones that are you know 2078 01:18:00,389 --> 01:18:00,639 I guess that are newer that 2079 01:18:01,289 --> 01:18:01,539 are specifically related to 2080 01:18:04,856 --> 01:18:05,106 child safety where a person who 2081 01:18:06,856 --> 01:18:07,106 wanted to access a service or 2082 01:18:10,623 --> 01:18:10,873 buy a product would have to show 2083 01:18:12,956 --> 01:18:13,206 or upload identification well 2084 01:18:13,589 --> 01:18:13,839 just the the 2085 01:18:15,089 --> 01:18:15,339 what the gentleman talked about 2086 01:18:17,089 --> 01:18:17,339 with the state of Florida 2087 01:18:20,623 --> 01:18:20,873 putting in age verifications for 2088 01:18:22,389 --> 01:18:22,639 for online pornography and and 2089 01:18:23,156 --> 01:18:23,406 one of the major platforms 2090 01:18:26,389 --> 01:18:26,639 completely stopped serving that 2091 01:18:27,156 --> 01:18:27,406 state I mean I don't know that 2092 01:18:28,889 --> 01:18:29,139 that would be a bad thing for 2093 01:18:29,489 --> 01:18:29,739 Oklahoma to do 2094 01:18:34,589 --> 01:18:34,839 and I think we really have to 2095 01:18:36,389 --> 01:18:36,639 also throw the parent in here as 2096 01:18:38,389 --> 01:18:38,639 well the parent has to be a part 2097 01:18:39,323 --> 01:18:39,573 of this this process I had a 2098 01:18:42,856 --> 01:18:43,106 he's not so young anymore he's 2099 01:18:44,389 --> 01:18:44,639 married and joining the air 2100 01:18:45,056 --> 01:18:45,306 forcece but I have a son who 2101 01:18:48,356 --> 01:18:48,606 grew up playing obloxx we 2102 01:18:50,823 --> 01:18:51,073 stayed very engaged with his 2103 01:18:52,423 --> 01:18:52,673 his mother and I stayed very 2104 01:18:53,123 --> 01:18:53,373 engaged with his online activity 2105 01:18:54,923 --> 01:18:55,173 a matter of fact he's 20 years 2106 01:18:55,589 --> 01:18:55,839 old and 2107 01:18:58,389 --> 01:18:58,639 took the oath to be in the air 2108 01:18:59,089 --> 01:18:59,339 force and I still get notices of 2109 01:19:02,389 --> 01:19:02,639 when he when he buys a game 2110 01:19:03,123 --> 01:19:03,373 he hadn't figured that one out 2111 01:19:06,423 --> 01:19:06,673 yet so I I think that that's 2112 01:19:08,423 --> 01:19:08,673 that's part of the thing too is 2113 01:19:10,389 --> 01:19:10,639 we need to encourage parents and 2114 01:19:11,123 --> 01:19:11,373 empower parents to be a part of 2115 01:19:12,989 --> 01:19:13,239 that process as well 2116 01:19:14,723 --> 01:19:14,973 no one is better 2117 01:19:17,389 --> 01:19:17,639 equipped to take care of their 2118 01:19:18,856 --> 01:19:19,106 kids and their parents as a 2119 01:19:20,889 --> 01:19:21,139 general rule and they they are 2120 01:19:22,656 --> 01:19:22,906 that first line of defense but 2121 01:19:24,389 --> 01:19:24,639 what we're seeing and especially 2122 01:19:26,389 --> 01:19:26,639 with the chatbox stuff or the 2123 01:19:27,123 --> 01:19:27,373 kids are bypassing the parents 2124 01:19:28,923 --> 01:19:29,173 to get some kind of 2125 01:19:32,623 --> 01:19:32,873 insight that they're not getting 2126 01:19:34,623 --> 01:19:34,873 anywhere else so you have to 2127 01:19:36,589 --> 01:19:36,839 find a way to short circuit that 2128 01:19:39,056 --> 01:19:39,306 bypass and and again either an 2129 01:19:40,656 --> 01:19:40,906 incentive to do the right thing 2130 01:19:42,389 --> 01:19:42,639 or a disincentive

career and so 2354 01:26:30,623 --> 01:26:30,873 that's what he's gonna most 2355 01:26:32,389 --> 01:26:32,639 likely be doing in the air force 2356 01:26:34,623 --> 01:26:34,873 is working cybersecurity and so 2357 01:26:35,256 --> 01:26:35,506 there are people 2358 01:26:38,389 --> 01:26:38,639 who understand the challenges 2359 01:26:39,156 --> 01:26:39,406 and what we need to do is 2360 01:26:42,856 --> 01:26:43,106 continue to empower them and 2361 01:26:44,856 --> 01:26:45,106 one way to do that is continue 2362 01:26:46,656 --> 01:26:46,906 work by this legislature 2363

01:26:53,589 --> 01:26:53,839 hope 2367 01:26:56,389 --> 01:26:56,639 it's not going to be the easiest 2368 01:26:57,123 --> 01:26:57,373 thing in the world by any 2369 01:26:58,889 --> 01:26:59,139 stretch of the the imagination 2370 01:27:00,656 --> 01:27:00,906 but I do believe we have that 2371 01:27:01,256 --> 01:27:01,506 opportunity 2372 01:27:01,523 --> 01:27:01,773 before us 2373

01:27:13,356 --> 01:27:13,606 couple of things one of the 2377 01:27:16,423 --> 01:27:16,673 sadly one of the things that we 2378 01:27:17,089 --> 01:27:17,339 often ask in Oklahoma 2379 01:27:20,689 --> 01:27:20,939 before we run any piece of 2380 01:27:22,656 --> 01:27:22,906 legislation as what other states 2381 01:27:23,356 --> 01:27:23,606 have done this before 2382 01:27:24,656 --> 01:27:24,906 and 2383 01:27:31,039 --> 01:27:31,289 so states that have passed Ai 2384 01:27:32,923 --> 01:27:33,173 safety legislation and that term 2385 01:27:36,423 --> 01:27:36,673 is just as broad as it can be 2386 01:27:37,189 --> 01:27:37,439 or colo coloado, 2387 01:27:40,389 --> 01:27:40,639 New York, Texas, Connecticut, 2388 01:27:41,156 --> 01:27:41,406 Washington state 2389 01:27:43,156 --> 01:27:43,406 Georgiailllinois Missouri and 2390 01:27:45,156 --> 01:27:45,406 Michigan's got some pending 2391 01:27:46,923 --> 01:27:47,173 Ryan Montgomery talked about 2392 01:27:48,623 --> 01:27:48,873 Tennessee and some others that 2393 01:27:50,923 --> 01:27:51,173 are up there so it's not an 2394 01:27:52,923 --> 01:27:53,173 all encompassing list but there 2395 01:27:54,389 --> 01:27:54,639 are states that are taking 2396 01:27:54,956 --> 01:27:55,206 actions and 2397 01:27:58,889 --> 01:27:59,139 are those actions big enough 2398 01:28:00,623 --> 01:28:00,873 are they appropriate? Well, God 2399 01:28:02,389 --> 01:28:02,639 will and it will be 2400 01:28:04,923 --> 01:28:05,173 the honorable Mr Gum 2401 01:28:06,389 --> 01:28:06,639 mentioned something about 2402 01:28:08,389 --> 01:28:08,639 parents need to be parents and 2403 01:28:09,089 --> 01:28:09,339 that's absolutely right 2404 01:28:10,889 --> 01:28:11,139 I don't know what came first 2405 01:28:12,623 --> 01:28:12,873 week in chicken or egg this 2406 01:28:14,389 --> 01:28:14,639 thing all day long but the 2407 01:28:15,089 --> 01:28:15,339 reason that we have kids that 2408 01:28:17,089 --> 01:28:17,339 are doing this stuff is because 2409 01:28:20,656 --> 01:28:20,906 we have parents that for for for 2410 01:28:21,323 --> 01:28:21,573 for ill or good 2411 01:28:22,823 --> 01:28:23,073 have 2412 01:28:26,389 --> 01:28:26,639 and I don't mean to say anything 2413 01:28:28,889 --> 01:28:29,139 bad about body because if it is 2414 01:28:30,856 --> 01:28:31,106 but for the grace of God goi but 2415 01:28:32,889 --> 01:28:33,139 we've got to take more of an 2416 01:28:34,656 --> 01:28:34,906 interest in our children 2417 01:28:35,223 --> 01:28:35,473 we've got to take more of an 2418 01:28:38,389 --> 01:28:38,639 interest in each in each other 2419 01:28:40,889 --> 01:28:41,139 because the sad reality is is 2420 01:28:42,389 --> 01:28:42,639 that we we want to blame things 2421 01:28:44,389 --> 01:28:44,639 on Ai and social media and those 2422 01:28:45,123 --> 01:28:45,373 are those are the flavor of the 2423 01:28:46,623 --> 01:28:46,873 month but before that it was 2424 01:28:48,389 --> 01:28:48,639 television before that it was 2425 01:28:50,623 --> 01:28:50,873 radio. those things are made to 2426 01:28:52,856 --> 01:28:53,106 be more interesting than real 2427 01:28:53,523 --> 01:28:53,773 human beings are 2428 01:28:57,056 --> 01:28:57,306 and the it's a it's a trick they 2429 01:28:58,889 --> 01:28:59,139 seem that way but they're really 2430 01:29:00,889 --> 01:29:01,139 not more interesting than we are 2431 01:29:02,656 --> 01:29:02,906 to each other they're not more 2432 01:29:04,389 --> 01:29:04,639 interesting they're not more 2433 01:29:06,623 --> 01:29:06,873 engaging than our children are 2434 01:29:08,356 --> 01:29:08,606 and so if we'll do what we're 2435 01:29:09,089 --> 01:29:09,339 supposed to do then we'll find 2436 01:29:11,056 --> 01:29:11,306 out that our children really are 2437 01:29:13,223 --> 01:29:13,473 just as wealth of entertainment 2438 01:29:13,889 --> 01:29:14,139 of knowledge of 2439 01:29:18,356 --> 01:29:18,606 ability to stay engaged and 2440 01:29:20,356 --> 01:29:20,606 that's that's one of our most 2441 01:29:22,356 --> 01:29:22,606 important jobs that we that that 2442 01:29:24,389 --> 01:29:24,639 we have is to raise them up and 2443 01:29:25,123 --> 01:29:25,373 to bring them to the age of 2444 01:29:28,389 --> 01:29:28,639 majority physically and mentally 2445 01:29:30,623 --> 01:29:30,873 and spiritually and emotionally 2446 01:29:32,489 --> 01:29:32,739 intact and I saw a quote 2447 01:29:35,089 --> 01:29:35,339 recently that I think is 2448 01:29:36,856 --> 01:29:37,106 absolutely apropos for what 2449 01:29:38,389 --> 01:29:38,639 we're doing here or what we're 2450 01:29:40,889 --> 01:29:41,139 trying to to do and senator Ted 2451 01:29:42,823 --> 01:29:43,073 Lie or I'm

actions we 2461 01:30:03,256 --> 01:30:03,506 are the ones that bear the 2462 01:30:04,889 --> 01:30:05,139 responsibility for this we don't 2463 01:30:06,889 --> 01:30:07,139 get the the ability we

and take actions on 2471 01:30:23,123 --> 01:30:23,373 various arenas that that 2472 01:30:23,656 --> 01:30:23,906 have to do with child safety 2473 01:30:27,056 --> 01:30:27,306 you know we can see this in 2474 01:30:29,056 --> 01:30:29,306 that that things may have 2475 01:30:31,089 --> 01:30:31,339 gone too far in some areas of 2476 01:30:33,156 --> 01:30:33,406 for instance we we talked 2477 01:30:35,123 --> 01:30:35,373 about the wild west you 2478 01:30:36,856 --> 01:30:37,106 know in the wild west you could 2479 01:30:38,889 --> 01:30:39,139 go down to your corner drugstore 2480 01:30:40,623 --> 01:30:40,873 and buy a bottle of opium called 2481 01:30:42,856 --> 01:30:43,106 laudanum. OK anybody could buy 2482 01:30:43,556 --> 01:30:43,806 it and you can send your six 2483 01:30:44,623 --> 01:30:44,873 year old down there with a 2484 01:30:46,389 --> 01:30:46,639 nickel and get it or whatever 2485 01:30:48,389 --> 01:30:48,639 and now we can't do that you 2486 01:30:49,123 --> 01:30:49,373 can't get those drugs without a 2487 01:30:50,923 --> 01:30:51,173 prescription, OK and that's a 2488 01:30:53,123 --> 01:30:53,373 good thing as the FDA always 2489 01:30:53,723 --> 01:30:53,973 done everything correct? no 2490 01:30:58,423 --> 01:30:58,673 but have they done things that 2491 01:30:59,123 --> 01:30:59,373 they need to do? yes they have 2492 01:31:01,089 --> 01:31:01,339 done that we have laws that say 2493 01:31:02,889 --> 01:31:03,139 you can't buy raw milk laws

01:31:10,889 --> 01:31:11,139 idea that we would not be able 2498 01:31:13,323 --> 01:31:13,573 to pass laws that would protect 2499 01:31:15,156 --> 01:31:15,406 mainly children but all of our 2500 01:31:16,656 --> 01:31:16,906 citizens from some of the 2501 01:31:18,623 --> 01:31:18,873 harmful things that come to us 2502 01:31:20,923 --> 01:31:21,173 through the wonderful tool of 2503 01:31:21,556 --> 01:31:21,806 the internet 2504 01:31:23,356 --> 01:31:23,606 as I feel is errone 2505 01:31:26,856 --> 01:31:27,106 ne ous we absolutely not only 2506 01:31:28,623 --> 01:31:28,873

regarding automobile safety 2510 01:31:37,156 --> 01:31:37,406 firearm safety medicine safety 2511 01:31:38,623 --> 01:31:38,873 that's the whole reason we have 2512 01:31:41,123 --> 01:31:41,373 child safety caps on on Motrin 2513 01:31:42,656 --> 01:31:42,906 and even on things like 2514 01:31:44,423 --> 01:31:44,673 flintstones chewables you can't 2515 01:31:46,389 --> 01:31:46,639 buy

precedent where we have and 2519 01:31:53,589 --> 01:31:53,839 we should take action on those 2520 01:31:54,223 --> 01:31:54,473 things 2521 01:31:55,956 --> 01:31:56,206 and I'll close with this 2522 01:31:56,689 --> 01:31:56,939 in government 2523 01:31:58,956 --> 01:31:59,206 we get more 2524 01:32:04,389 --> 01:32:04,639 what we incentivize and less of 2525 01:32:06,923 --> 01:32:07,173 what we punish and so we need to 2526 01:32:08,889 --> 01:32:09,139 figure out what those things are 2527 01:32:09,589 --> 01:32:09,839 that we want 2528 01:32:13,123 --> 01:32:13,373 and incentivize those

2535 01:32:25,256 --> 01:32:25,506 we don't have people that are 2536 01:32:26,889 --> 01:32:27,139 being damaged because they're 2537 01:32:28,423 --> 01:32:28,673 engaging with a machine instead
