I mean, I want the Democrats to be better.
Like, I hate when people say, oh, you hate on the Democrats all the time.
Listen, no one is equating them to what the fascists in the White House are doing or whatever.
But these Democrats, such as Gavin Newsom,
especially and i say that because he just has been pushing a lot of this reactionary stuff he said that you know his he saw his his daughter you know on her phone too much during her birthday party and so that means that we need to remove anonymity from the internet and roll out widespread age verification this is what i'm talking about you're buying into the heritage foundation's plans hook line and sinker um we need to fight back against that so there's you know there's people in the senate um and the house that i think we need to call out the co-sponsors of the kids online safety act
know how it sounds it's not what it does guys this is a bad and dangerous law that is not going to protect children online um but you know and we have people yeah lawmakers warner blumenthal i don't want to name them all but uh but these are people as you mentioned uh hakeem jeffries it's the establishment dems that are going along with this and it's really really regressive and dangerous and it's ultimately pro big tech that's what's frustrating this is just a really important microcosm of what's happening in a lot of places right now
Do you think Elon Musk cares about protecting?
This man endorsed and informed the language of the kids online safety app.
Well, thank you.
Thank you for having me on.
And I will continue to cover this.
There's a big markup next week on some of these bills.
So if you see headlines, so and so is protecting children online.
I promise you they are not.
That is not what these laws are about.
Thanks for having me.
Yes, I covered this.
And I think it's insane.
Take your wins where you can is what, yeah.
I know it's bad.
