  Speaker 1: Well with us today. Calling in is Lynn Shaw Lynswarriors
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: dot org. And what does Lynd do? She protects our
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: kids from computers to environment through sexual trafficking. Tell me
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: about everything, Lyn Shaw, where do you want to start
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: this morning?
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Good morning John and everybody. Thank you so much for
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: having me. I always want to start with a reminder
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: that you, John, it is you always give voice to
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: everything we cover at the Warriors, which most media outlets
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: never want to do. You're with us every single week,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: and we are so thankful because we're getting this information
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: out into the public that basically they're not hearing pretty
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: much from anybody else. So we are just really from
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: the bottom of our hearts. I always have to thank you.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Good news America is waking up. Yesterday was the most
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: important day on Capitol Hill. June twenty third has been
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: designated as Social Media Victims Remembrance Day on Capitol Hill.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: And this is a day dedicated to honoring kids who
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: have been harmed or lost as in dead because of
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: online exploitation, sextortion, cyber bullying. These algorithms we keep hearing
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: about with the predators and dangerous platform designed by these
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: big tech rows. As I like to call them. So listen.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Families yesterday poured into Washington, gathered on Capitol Hill to
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: ensure that kids, their children's lives are remembered and their
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: stories are leading to meaningful change. Because right now on
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Capitol Hill we have such a battle going on. But
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: I am an optimist. We've got the House holding up
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: a package of child safety legislation because John, we always
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: talk about it. There is so much money on Capitol
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Hill from big tech flooding Capitol Hill, flooding both Democrats
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: and Republicans. The money talks right. So we are now fighting.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: We have our beautiful Kids Online Safety Act. It is.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: We've got Marshall Blackburn behind the scenes, Senator to Marshall
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Blackburn looking so hard to correct things. Let's get the
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: right language. The fight is on, and this is so
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: important because there is so much more awareness from the
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: public than one year ago when we started this on
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Capitol Hill. Unfortunately, we come together, more parents flooded in,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: more family members. We have plac guards of dead children. John,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I sent you a picture last night, hundreds and hundreds
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: of kids forever twelve, forever seventeen, all over the Capitol
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Law and you cannot miss it, and it was started
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: by these two moms who happened to me, Amy Neville
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: and Kristin Bride. They learned this horrible tragedy that both
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: their teenage sons died on the same day, June twenty
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: third or twenty twenty. This is how it all started.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: And you know, we have Senator Marshall Blackburn working so hard, consistently,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: and let me remind everybody it's all bipartisan work, right. No,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: it's not about Democrats Republicans. It's about American families. And
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: we had terrific speeches from Senator Josh Hawley, we had
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: terrific Amy Klobashar, Senator Richard Blumenthal who sponsors the Kids
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Online Safety Act along with Senator Marshall Bloomenthal. But I
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: have to say that we are holding this up right now.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: The American public is holding up Congress. Please, we will
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: not accept language they put out just this past Monday.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Who is language is our Congress people? Who are senators
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: more loyal to the the to the lobst lobbyists than
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: they are to America and to our kids.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: This is me saying it. It's like money talks and
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: crime walks, because that's what's happening. There is more And
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Senator Holly pointed this out yesterday and his speech, you know,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: he said, there is more money on Capitol Hill from
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: big tech than any other lobby lobbyist lobby is going
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: on at all. This is it. They have flooded. Let's
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: face it, let's be realistic.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: You know, I saw Mark Zuckerberg, pictures of him at
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: the White House the other night at the UFC event.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I've seen pictures of Sam Altman, you know, open AI
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: and all of this with Mark Zuckerberg, all of the
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: big tech CEOs you know, at the dinner table literally
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: at the White House. Money talks, how our talks. They're
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: wielding it. But the good news is the public is
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: not accepting this.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: Then did we do it?
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: The warriors? We're not accepting it, John Lynn.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: This is Fernando Matteo. John's question was, who are the
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: congressmen and or the senators that are not in agreement
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: with this? I mean, who is it that we're fighting again?
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: We had an ad in the New York Post on
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Sunday on Father's Day that forty four states have approved
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: what program on AI and six states have met. Is
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: that true?
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: That's true, but it's forty four state attorneys general have
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: come together, both Republicans and Democrats, to say, AI, when
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: you come for our kids and you're already doing it,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: we are going to fight you back. Now. This ties
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: into everything we're working on yesterday, Kids Online Safety Acts,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: because AI is here. It's not coming, it is here,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: it's already harming our kids with these dangerous chatbots and
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: AI companions. You want names, I say.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: We like to publish these names. We like to know
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: who are the senators? Who are the congressmen that are
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: supporting big tech and betraying the children of our country.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: That's what we want to know.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I'll send you the list, because it's almost
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: every single one of them, with the exception of those
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: I mentioned, like Senator Marshall Blackburn, like Senator Richard Blomenthal,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: like Senator Amy Klobashar, like Senator Josh.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Ha I mean it goes back to is Washington broken?
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: And if you know, I mean, we got to expose
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: that if they care more about and they care.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: About time, everybody taking money, not.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Only publish it, publish them, embarrass them.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Listen, not only our congressmen, it's also the legislative staff,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: the legislative you know, policy people they have in their office.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: It's all of them. They are letting the market with money.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: And when I say all of them, I'm not kidding.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna send you the list because it's basically everybody. Now,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: of course there'll be some denial. We have proof on
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: some things, but we know we had Sam Altman two
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: weeks ago running all over Capitol Hill talking to everybody.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Media didn't really cover that at all. Why is he
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: there because we have this Kids Online Safety Act about
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: to break in the House to go to a floor vote. Okay, John,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: remember this all started. I brought a group of parents
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: March first, tomorrow lago to meet with our president. All
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: their children were killed by social media harms, extortion, cyber bullying.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: They bought some pills online that had sentanel in them. Okay.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: I brought them to put them in front of our
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: president to say, mister President, look at these families, hard
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: working Americans who voted for you, who support you. Look
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: what happened to their children. Help us move this to
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: a piece of legislation where we hold big tech accountable.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: They've been getting away. They have no regulation at all
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: with harming our children. We have the proof. Now we
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: have thirty years of social media. We've got the educators,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: the doctors, we've got the whistleblowers who came forward who
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: said this is what they're doing at these companies. They
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: intentionally are harming kids. So we're going after them. The
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: President is very sympathetic. We are working is very complex
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: on Capitol Hill.
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: Lynshaw, this is Jake Novak. You know, I think you
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: know you're absolutely in the front lines and you're working
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: on the members of Congress and the other people in government.
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: Let's also speak to the parents and help them understand this,
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: because most parents don't know all the facts, as you know.
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: So here's a little saying that I have that helps
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: everyone understand this, and I'd love for you to expand
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: on it. If you're not paying for the product, then
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: you are the product. So every website AI thing that
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: your kid is doing for free, quote unquote free, they
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: are the product. Can you explain that a little bit more?
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Well, Absolutely, this is the greatest social experiment that has
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: ever gone on, and now we're sitting on top of AI. Look,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: everybody was nobody asked for all of this technology. Think
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: back nobody asks for US tops chromebooks. Remember our American
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: public schools, they have flood at the market in the
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: classrooms with chromebooks equals Google. No safety features have been
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: in millions of chromebooks. Okay, so everybody thought, oh the
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: iPhone as an example, that's cute. Okay, Now we can
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: communicate it, we can take pictures, we can do this.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: So we unwillingly were thrown into this. But again, thirty
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: years later, we now have the harms, the mental health harms,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: all of this, the isolation only only fueled up by
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: that COVID horrible period where kids were stuck at home.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Families were stuck at home and they.
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: Had to use those I've seen it up close. I'm sorry,
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: we got it. We have to take a break, but
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: every parent needs to get more involved. Look at the
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: website and your kids going on, and even if it
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: isn't good questionable content, understand, understand the goohead.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say, parent up because we're working so
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: hard Washington legislation, state capitals, but you, as the parent,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: are the first line of defends.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: That's right, you're doing.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Talk to your kids.
• 8:54
