This 10th year of Daily Tech News show is made possible by you sitting right there walking your dog Thanks to you for including us in your life Dustin Campbell, Tim deputy and Brandon Brooks Coming up on DTNSA City Mayor threatens to sue chat GPT for defamation The US is developing privacy laws one state at a time and why nobody logs out at anything anymore Go ahead try it try to find that log out option. You can't bury Jimmy Hoffa This is the Daily Tech News for Thursday April 6th, 2023 in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt and from studio Redwood I'm Sarah Lane from deep in the heart of Texas. I'm Justin Rabbit. Yeah And on the show's producer Roger Chen. Let us begin the proceedings today As the Lord intended with the quick hits Android developers need to let you delete your personal info or get delisted from the Play Store starting in 2024 Play Store listings must display links in the data deletion section to let users ask for their data or ask That it be deleted this means there must be a web-based option That doesn't require the user to reinstall the app in order to make that request all apps must comply by May 31st 2024 or phase for removal Google also plans to stop apps that offer personal loans from accessing Sensitive user data like images and contacts Carrying on with the Google news CEO Sundar Pichai told the Wall Street Journal that Google plans to let users and I quote Ask questions to Google and engage with LLM's large language models in the context of search We're all shocked Of course, they've said that they would do this before but this is the first time that Anyone from Google has clearly stated it would be a chat interface similar to what Bing does not surprising The first time they said it so I guess it's significant Pichai didn't give any sense of when this would happen though He also said to expect more collaboration within Google's AI units Google brain and deep mind are gonna team up with their brain minds and build something better Microsoft plans to add its Microsoft 365 Copilot feature to one note last month the company announced the AI assistant was coming to teams Word Excel and PowerPoint Copilot will be able to summarize existing notes as well as rewrite or reformat them It can also generate notes based on prompts like make talking points for a meeting for example Copilot for all these apps is being tested in beta and Microsoft has not committed to a final release date The company also added its Bing chat AI to the Swift key keyboard for Android Available by downloading the beta version of Swift key on the Google Play Store. Well, yeah, you don't need to go use the edge browser anymore You just put Swift key on it's kind of kind of brilliant The chips are diversifying folks u.s. Census data shows us chip imports grew 17% on the year in February So we're bringing in more chips building more stuff with chips in them But chip imports from mainland China fell 7.8% where'd they go? Well chips were coming into the u.s. From Vietnam those chip imports rose 74.9% Thailand rose 62.3% South Korea rose 43.3% India rose 34 times what it was a year ago, which is 3400 percent and Cambodia rose 698% those were both coming from very low numbers, but they're in the game They're both in the top 10 now just below Japan The Financial Times reports that advertising on tick-tock grew 11% in March despite concerns over the Security of the app and the potential for the u.s. Government to block tick-tock According to sensor tower ad spending on tick-tock in March was led by Pepsi Door-dash Amazon and Apple among others keep in mind. They may have committed to this ad spending before congressional hearings highlighted Concerns All right, let's talk a little more about This mayor that I mentioned at the top of the surf. Yeah, okay, so His name is Brian Hood. He's the mayor of Hepburn Shire in Australia and sent a letter to open AI Asking it to correct false information being given about him by chat GPT Mayor Hood is considering suing for defamation Members of the public told him that chat GPT had named him as a guilty party in a bribery scandal from the early 2000s Hood notified authorities about the bribes in question and was never charged with a crime He knows about this incident, but chat GPT had it wrong So given that chat GPT is not drawing on facts in this case, but simulating human speech is defamation the right charge here and If so, who is responsible Justin? I'm glad you're here today. So what are your thoughts? Yes, indeed a man who got a b-plus in Kamla at Syracuse University back 1905 I am here to tell you that by the authority of Professor Roy Gutterman Knows, I mean, there's a lot of questions that you have to answer here number one where Case would be tried if he'd be tried in America or in Australia far more Knowledgeed in in American laws, but what you need to do in a case for libel Which is what it's called when it is written when something that is the famatory is written is you have to prove actual Malice that you knew that this was wrong and you wrote it anyway. You published it anyway now on the internet you have a lot of different Things that that protect for free speech or protect for people interacting with their platform Tom can talk to you about section 230 in great length I would wonder whether or not some of that would not come into play here, but I will say that It would be very very very hard to prove based on all of the caveats that open AI lays out for chat GPT that anything was done With malice and that's something that you need to prove in in a legal setting that being said Begin these AI Lawsuits have we are going to see this from copyright to defamation And it's only going to get bigger and bigger and bigger This is a massive sea change in how information is synthesized and that means that we got to write all new rules for it Yeah, I'm looking through my 1989 mass comm law book. I'm seeing nothing nothing about AI in that Everything Justin said was right for the US. It may or may not apply directly to Australia but the the sense of it is still the same which is there is no law about what a System that is trained on facts and also trained on things that aren't facts is Responsible for when it spits out something that isn't a fact and so going back to that actual malice thing Even if Australia has a different way of doing it It's generally the idea behind all defamation law around the world and again I'm no expert either, but the idea is always Did they mean to defame you now some countries occasionally will say like doesn't matter whether you meant it or not Chess EPT is going to be in a different case there, but in all cases. It's not a you It's not a person and so the question of responsibility Becomes a big one which is hey, we said this is not a system that gives you facts We said right up there at the top every time that this gets things wrong Are you responsible for policing it because wow that's going to really change how generative AI can be applied If you're responsible for every single thing it spits out Or is it a case where you're like, yeah, it's almost like a random number generator It's just less random and a lot of its output is more useful Uh just this morning, uh the washington post ran a story Very separate from this But it was somewhat similar a law professor had been named by chat GPT As a sexual harassment offender of a student while on a class trip to alaska That professor says the alaska trip never happened and no one has ever accused me of such a thing And that is a problem. So this is sort of you know, where it gets into The area of well if that happened if that happened to me I want to sue somebody and I want to sue them Yesterday, but who do I sue? I have a question about that though. What's the what's the harm of a law professor Sitting at his desk looked up his buddy found it said something defamatory about him and then told that law professor Hey, this thing said it That's different than chat GPT posted this on google, right, which it didn't do Same thing in right in Hepburnshire one of the constituents said hey, I looked this up and it said this it's wrong Uh, that's different than somebody looked it up on chat GPT and ran a story about it And I think that's where a lot of the discussion when these go to court and when laws are created is going to be around And that's the other part of this is that there's no guarantee that that chat gbt would spit out that same answer twice That's right, and that's going to also play a factor here If you asked it a hundred times and a hundred times it said the same thing Then then maybe that's going to be some standard of proof But but there is and you know the the technology it's why it's important to know about the technology here Right start grafting on other And what what can open ai actually do to say like oh, yeah, we can stop that and what can they be like that's just the way it works and sometimes it's going to say stuff like that and if you know and and Should it not be used at all or should it be like hey check every fact In in its output because it may not be right I wonder if As we go forward and these kinds of cases keep cropping up, you know just saying like hey, this isn't right You know, it's it's like snopes, right? For ai, you know the more humans say oh, no, no, no, let's let's make this better Then you know the the Snopes is snopes for ai because the ai is trained on all the things snopes is correcting as well as trained on snopes Yeah, so it's all in there, right That's yeah, it's uh, it's it's interesting and it's going to keep getting more interesting But it's new right this is this is a new problem that we're just now grappling with of course. There are no laws Thankfully privacy concerns on the internet have been around since the 90s So we're just now getting around to multiple multiple states in the united states passing their own data privacy laws Iowa is the sixth and most recent state to do so joining california, virginia, utah connecticut and colorado These state laws have differences One of the significant ones is that the iowa law requires you to opt out of data collection They're allowed to collect data until you tell them. No, I don't want you to collect it colorado connecticut and virginia have opt in Requirements, but they generally all give you the right to know what data is being collected What it's used for give you a chance to request to have your data exported and even have it deleted You can also allow collection, but not sale like okay if you collect it, but don't sell it to anybody else In some cases and you get the right to move data between services a k data portability in some cases Yeah, Iowa has that provision Utah's law has an interesting spin age verification for certain platforms, particularly social media sites That takes effect march 2024 and oh that's going to be interesting arkansas, ohio connecticut and minnesota are considering similar laws Maybe they should let utah figure out how you're going to actually verify ages When you don't even know if someone is in your state the utah law applies only to people in utah So how does someone determine if someone's really in utah or not without verifying their identity? Lots to consider here varying regimes mean they're going to be lawsuits There's going to be misidentified people ip addresses are not really accurate geolocation Some states are allowing you to sue directly to a company that violates their laws other States require you to complain to the attorney general who then files the case Not to mention the problems with verifying age when you don't know what state the user is from Justin is state-by-state the best way to do this It's the fastest way to begin doing it Because you have more leeway in 50 state houses than you do in our current congressional setting Now i would not be shocked if we saw movement on the federal side on this because as we saw with the tiktok hearings A few weeks ago and the facebook whistleblower last year This there is a moment bubbling about the The effects of social media on young people specifically so i would not be shocked if we saw some kind of federal movement on a An age verification system going forward, but In the meantime it shows the will of the voters if multiple states are pushing things like this going forward Yeah, certainly a will for privacy not all of them doing age verification So some states are fine with kids because social media. Yeah, or at least the current ways that we that we police Yeah, yeah, and then you have senator holly out there pushing a federal ban on social media for for people under a certain age Yeah, and and again, I mean that was something that that we saw From the democratic side with the with the tiktok hearings And and we saw a lot with that facebook whistleblower with with the idea that the social media companies may or may not Almost conspiratorially know the the the harmful effects it has on young people specifically young girls And they do nothing and they continue to weaponize their algorithm to menace the youth Whether or not that is something that we will continue to Have cement and get political traction remains to be seen But the fact that there is movement on this on the state house means that politicians in those states know That there is a positive effect from their electorate if they move forward on it I mean, I guess if you're In the utah case for example, um, utah saying listen, you have to verify your age That is the only way around this and if somebody falsifies that information, then okay, we'll deal with that case by case Oh Gosh, uh, there's so many ways to do that So many ways to do that. I I I would like to see how this Once put in place Is effective and you know how it might Change the way that social networks allow new users to join And and how it how it keeps people off that shouldn't be kept off Because they can't properly meet the requirements for identification. Yeah, that too And considering how much we've talked about bots bots are going to be something that we will talk more and more and more about Sorry to put ai in a non ai story But this is something else that we will see have its effects Maybe this is just part of our new reality as we go forward that for social media hygiene We should be willfully Registering ourselves on these platforms and there will probably be unregulated platforms and then We will we will see which ones take root. Yeah Listen, uh, the you the listener of dts right now Yeah, you kind of missed the days when the news landscape was all about apple, don't you? Well folks know a little more is my podcast the deep dives into individual topics and the first episode of the relaunch is out Right now. It's about rss. It's rocky history how it ended up being the underpinning of podcasting The personalities that fought over it how it doesn't actually stand for anything depending on what time in history you asked If you have not yet sampled the show go do it right now Because big thanks to amos Who edits and produces this and justin at dog and pony show audio? Who came in and up to the game justin? Thank you for for helping us level up with know a little more Absolutely. No little more is a fantastic show and and In my opinion in a world filled with fear uncertainty and doubt as well as a lack of context especially in technology stories I think it's not only a good show It's an important show and it's one that we wanted to make as easy to consume as possible Because we want you to share it with your friends and family I don't think anybody in the business can do it better than tom and uh, I I'm very very Heartened to hear the well wishes on people who have listened to the first episode I can tell you having been working on the next few episodes. You're going to really like where it goes from here Yeah, keep an ear out for algorithm open ai mastodon all coming this season at know a little more dot com All right Quick question. When is the last time you logged out of a website logged out logged out?  So that might be the last time that I let forced log out Well, yeah, so banks and you know, health care providers are sort of an exception But for most sites, when are you really logged out? Do you even think about doing that? Do you log into Facebook or twitter or youtube or discord every time you come back to your computer? The answer is probably in many cases. No with all the sites and services that we use the idea of logging out of the internet Kind of doesn't exist anymore. But why? Well, the verge is terry and wane had the same question So spoke to several ui designers in an article titled the impossibility of logging off Uh and in that article it points out that logging out doesn't hold much value for either The company's making the web websites and apps or the consumers that log into them Quote because websites and apps have a profit bearing incentive to keep users logged in and we users We like the convenience of not having to go through the login thing again These days logout buttons are actually buried in settings menus in most cases look at discord not hidden just De-prioritized as something you'd want to do and on mobile devices There are even apps like facebook messenger or whatsapp that don't have logout options But i don't know maybe we want it this way right jesson Yeah, tom there are upsides to this moving from desktop to a mobile device seamlessly as possible because we are always logged on We like the convenience of not logging in constantly or starting from scratch quote-unquote every time we want to interact With an interface or service provider And google meta and countless other companies benefit from this because they can track our habits and learn more about us Since we never really leave Like philosophers in a dark cave. We all saw a different part of this story Uh when we we talked about it sarah came at it from a privacy side Justin came at it from a kind of a futurist bent. Uh, I came at it from an authentication bent So sarah the start with your your privacy analysis would what what did you make of this story? Yeah, so, uh, I Because I hang out at kaiser permanente. Um a medical provider quite often these days. Um, I am logged into that site I don't know Five times a week at minimum But after a certain amount of time like you mentioned justin with banks It'll log you out. That is part of the user interface. That's part of the user experience that is designed to Make the user feel okay. I'm you know, yeah, yeah, I yeah, I'm protected They care about me. Oh good But on something like discord When have I ever logged out of discord? Hmm. What why would I I'm either there or I'm not Maybe I'm on mobile. Maybe I'm on my desktop a variety of different desktops um and I Really don't I don't think too much about that because again the convenience of this Is for the most part during my day, especially because I'm a very online person That makes sense to me, but yes data is being collected about my habits And I I've kind of said like, all right, that's cool But yeah, the whole idea of like going to the internet coming out of the internet We're not we're we don't do that anymore Yeah, and even if you log off sometimes the cookies are still set You know session tracking cookies are still collecting your your your data Justin explain your take on this story So number one I think part of the other element of this is the fact that we've gotten so used to deleting and uninstalling And that has effectively replaced our idea to log out of something we can when we could just eliminate it entirely We probably even feel better than logging out, but this is where I went with it I wonder especially considering we are about to Have much more of a natural language interface with a lot of our technology But by way of AI sorry again for putting a story that didn't have AI, but Just can't get away from it. I know I know I know send all your hate mail to me Or at least my AI system I wonder whether or not There is a world that is coming wherein of course we're always logged into these apps because we are interacting with A natural language model that brings us what we want when we want it And the world of getting the full firehose of twitter the world of getting the full firehose of instagram or facebook Is looked upon as being too much Why do that when you can have your personal assistant bring you all of the relevant Pictures videos tweets and opinions at your demand instead of watching it roll tick by tick by tick by tick by tick And if that's the case it will be predicated on the idea that we are always logged on or We can tell our AI assistant to disconnect from that service. Please close my account or leave it dormant Yeah, I I think I think about it from the authentication standpoint of the reason We don't log out is because it's so painful to log in You have to remember a password and if you're doing it, right? You have a second factor that you have to go dig up and either You know stick into your computer unless you keep your key in your computer all the time or look up a code or get a text message Why would I want to log out if I have to do that all the time? And it is annoying on the things that you should log out of like health sites like bank sites I look forward to the day when authentication gets so secure and fast at the same time Maybe with biometrics some phyto magic that happens in the future that looking at the site logs you in Launching the site. It knows who you are and logs you in and ending the site actually logs you out Closing a browser tab doesn't log you out And but it could and I I could see a I could see a future where we get so good at biometrics and authentication and recognition and computer vision That we can securely log you in immediately because you are the one Using the site and then do the opposite log you off when you're done so that you're not still logged in for whatever reason Anyway, those are our three takes uh on this story. I thought it was a fascinating story because it gave us Such different perspectives among this team. Thank you. Terry Wayne for bringing that up on The Verge Send us your takes feedback at daily tech news show dot com Be real films the makers of my favorite movie not Midsommar we'll begin production this autumn on a tv series telling the story of the pirate bay for sweden's SVT public broadcaster the six-part drama will follow the rise of the bit torrent index its attempts to avoid blocks And eventual decline dynamic television has the worldwide rights distribution rights rather But no release date or platforms have been announced. We don't exactly know where it's going to land yet But dynamic will be looking for deals at mip tv which uh starts on april 17th in can in the south of france I think of all the stories that want to be free The pirate bay story wants to be free For me. Yeah, I mean the folks who did midsommar. So this is this is going to look better than the pirates of silicon valley Uh, I expect well and listen. I said I didn't like the movie. I didn't because it's a disturbing movie But it's well because they were good at it telling the story is why you didn't they were so good at it I watched it twice and said I hate it even more but um, I would yeah, I I feel like uh having covered the pirate bay uh in Various incarnations over the last I don't know. What are we talking about two decades now? Yeah. Um, you know that this is Let's see it Yeah, I'm I'm looking forward to it and I'm jealous that sweden gets it first on on svt They know where they can watch it. The rest of us have to wait. I'm my money's on amazon prime They they're still they're still throwing money around these days. Yeah amazon trying to trying to get that that hot show Yeah My money's on on it just being distributed freely on the internet as it should be Yes All right, let's check out the mail bag Uh tim the dba had thoughts about our ad conversation We were having with scott johnson yesterday and the idea that ai could make ads better Tim says when searching for a product on google I skip past the ads even if they look like a product i'm searching for because it does not benefit me to Be tracked by those ads. I find tv ads very engaging and Choose not to have a tv in my house in large part to avoid being exposed to such ads So do I want to make ads better? Absolutely not I don't want them in the first place and I certainly don't want them to be more effectively influencing me Tim says I agree with sarah that we can't get rid of ads That was the point that I made yesterday tim says do I fall for clickbait from time to time? Of course But I see that as a fault of mine to correct not an activity to improve I'd rather pay directly for quality products like dtns. Thank you tim then be exposed to ads Now I know tim the dba is an exception to what i'm about to say none of this applies to tim the dba, but most humans Do like ads they just don't consider them ads if you don't like an ad It's because it was ineffective because it didn't give you what you wanted now I'm not that's not exactly right There are effective ads that you don't like but then they work because it sticks the brand in your mind and you remember them But most good ads are the ones that you're like. Oh that gave me an important piece of information Thank you for that now. I know about a thing and and so I don't know I I think I think people have attached a moralism to whether ads are good or not That that is that is not exactly fair to the utility of ads even though there's plenty of ads I don't like but that's because they're useless to me and I don't That's all I care about. I want the ads I see to be relevant I would also like to add that while I am positive that tim the dba does want to pay for quality products Including products like this and he does. Yes The question is are you willing to pay the price that the product thinks you should pay or Couldn't you pay if they just mentioned that door dash is a very very good product for which you can get your favorite restaurants delivered to you Use promo code jury Good luck. Good luck with that promo code Well jury speaking of you, um, we uh, we do want people to know more about what you're up to So let let the good people know It's finally here friends The third season of world's greatest con Starring brian brushwood produced by dog and pony show audio It's been a long time coming and it debuts this monday It is an extraordinary season for the first time ever brian and I interviewed First person sources for the story of project alpha if you're not familiar with it You can look it up online when you read the story I guarantee you what you will hear in this podcast is something Materially different for the first time the truth of that will come out and it begins this monday april 10th World's greatest con find it wherever you get your podcast listen to the first two seasons to get ready for the new one Starts this monday Well, uh, yes, put it on your cow everybody Yeah, um, also we would like to put on our new boss for julio Just started backing us on patreon.

everyone will come back for another Warden mobile gaming episode. So today we'll just be talking about the channel, the direction of the channel, me as the Warden and first and foremost I'd like to thank everyone for the support that I've been receiving, the encouragement that I've been receiving. Also I'd like to thank those who have been patient with me, those who have given me very good tips on how to improve my content for this channel. Thank you very much and I'd like to give a shout out to Dreadnought. Dreadnought, if you're watching this, thank you man for being a friend. Thank you for guiding me through a little bit. I actually get some of my encouragement from you and I will actually need a lot of encouragement from you guys, a lot of opinions from you guys to improve my content to more or less give you what you need. So again, thank you everyone for the support this past few months. I started this channel actually as a way of venturing into partly and more artistic side to myself. I'm not really used to this. Before this channel, I was even afraid of talking to a camera. So right now it has really given me a lot of confidence and I'm slowly still coming out of my shell. So for those who have been patient with me, please be more patient with me. I'm continuously improving my content, improving myself and again, again, I can't thank enough everybody who has supported me so far. So right now we're nearing 700 subscribers and more or less I would need your support guys moving forward. We're planning to, I hope I could reach 1000 subscribers in a few months. So again, for those who haven't subscribed yet and have been watching my channel, please do because you will be helping me a lot for this channel just by subscribing, just by supporting the channel gives me more confidence that I'm on the right track. So just to throw out a couple of information about me, your warden. So basically I just do this as a hobby. It's actually a part-time thing. I want this channel to grow to more than what it is now. It's actually I currently have a job and I do also study, I'm still studying my master's right now and again, thank you again for being patient with me. If I don't have enough time in creating videos, I'm usually busy with my work and with studies as well. I also have my own family. By the way, for those of you guys who have been asking where I'm from, so to answer that, I'm actually in the Philippines. So I'm based in the Philippines, particularly in the Visayas region of the Philippines. So more or less I've been here all my life and more or less I haven't gotten out of the Philippines yet. So that is about me. What else? Okay. More or less again on why I created the channel, the channel is where I want to share my insights to people. I want to share my expertise. I want to share my knowledge of the game on a specific game. That is why when I started XO Zeros, I really wanted to study it first before I could give you guys some tips, before I'm confident enough that I could really help you. So basically again, this channel is for me to help you guys play this game XO Zeros and recently I added Cookie Run Kingdom. So those are the games currently right now that I am happy to play and happy to share my knowledge with you and how I play the game as well. Okay. So more or less again, if I may go back, I recently added Cookie Run Kingdom to the channel. This is more on sometimes for XO Zeros, they don't have a lot of content. And again, I'm actually going to try to diversify my content in terms of the games that I play because again, if I don't have any content to put out, it's actually going to more or less be stagnant on my end. So that is why I'm also sharing my love for Cookie Run Kingdom with you guys. Hope you guys are more or less inclined to play this game as well. Also I'm asking you guys now, if I'm doing XO Zeros in Cookie Run Kingdom, write down in the comments below which games would you like me to cover for mobile games. Okay. So, would you want me to continue with the Gotcha games or would you rather me go explore other kinds of games outside of Gotcha? So put it down below in the comments section. Okay. So more or less moving forward, my main games would be XO Zeros, second would be Cookie Run Kingdom. But again, this channel can grow and it depends upon you guys on what content would you like moving forward. Please comment below on what games would you want me to cover for future episodes of this channel. Okay. Again, in terms of what I see in the future, I'd like to do this actually, do this as a full-time job. But at this point, I don't think I can do that. I would want that. I would want more content, more diversity in content. I'd like to, you know, be more with content creation. I'd like to grow in this industry as well. And if I had more free time, definitely I could upload more content for you guys, especially more games that you want me to cover. So again, I'd like to ask you guys, please support the channel. Please subscribe. And also don't forget we have a Discord server. You can check that out in the description section of this video. There are other chat groups there that you can join that I have. So please check out the description. Well, I think that's it for me. Any questions about me or Warden, just, you know, just put it down below in terms of if you have any other personal questions that you would want to know about me. I don't know what it is. So feel free to put some questions. I will actually answer them in another Q&A session, probably, that I could put out for this channel. And anyway, guys, stay safe. Take care. This is the Warden, and I'm out of here.


the Hawaii sovereignty movement, that movement was at its most kind of violent in the 1970s. There were some shootings, but just individual shootings, you know, not widespread violence. There is no kind of guerrilla army out there to fight for the secessionist movement in these places. So actually, I think in some ways we're at a lower point than we were in the 1970s in terms of independence or insurrections or secessionist movements. Well, we're not in a good place right now. I mean, I think that people are unhappy with the federal government. And you know, the sense of why don't you just leave us alone to do our thing is there. And you mentioned twice in this discussion a few minutes ago that in the case of the Article of the Federation, it was, quote, falling apart. And in the case of the run up to civil war, it was falling apart. And I suppose somebody could at least entertain the thought that maybe in a funny way, it's falling apart now. I mean, it's not at the same level. No. I would say it's not even close, honestly. But yeah, there's definitely more strain within our union. And there are more, you know, there's more interest on the part of states in asserting their rights and even maybe ignoring federal laws that they don't like. The federal government, on the other hand, seems, you know, well, depends upon who's in power. This current, this current administration wants to impose things on the states. Yeah, it's so interesting. But at the same time, this administration is into the notion of states' rights. It wants to let the states have their way in many issues, except in certain other issues, it doesn't want to have the states. No, not really. I mean, they might say they're for states' rights, but they're really not. Let's talk about abortion. They want to give the states the right to, because at the state level, there's a lot of anti-abortion forces. Sure, sure, sure. So they say, well, let the states do what they want. Sure, there's some practical politics involved here, but let's take the marijuana movement. Just the other way. Right, so you have states who are passing these laws and now this administration says, well, we don't like these laws, and we're going to enforce federal law. And it's like, okay, how does that work? When a state has passed legalization, federal law says it's still a crime. How does that work? Which one do you follow? So there's some tensions in the system.  We're not done with this issue of states versus federal, the whole federal issue. And it may be different than it was, but it's still around. And maybe the whole idea of creating the call to checks and balances of having states versus the federal government ultimately perforce had to lead to this kind of tension. I think so. I think it's the federal system, which I think Madison recognized, that the federal system had these tensions built into it. But it was better than having a hegemonic center where, you know, a president for life, actually one of the federalist papers, the paper written by, I can't remember the name of it, but it's the number of it, but it's written by Alexander Hamilton. He argues in that for president for life. Wow, that's chilling. That's chilling. Yeah, so Hamilton's going, you know, more power to the center and Madison's going, no, no, we have this federal system. We've got a constitutional amendment, which shares power between the states and the federal government. So you have kind of this kind of shared sovereignty. And Madison says, overall, I think this is a fine government, a much better government than a hegemonic, European style, monarchy. So interesting this debate was taking place for so long. You know, when I get home tonight, I'm going to look up the movie Lincoln, the Spielberg movie. I'm going to watch that. Oh, yeah, yeah. You know, you're really excited about it. But big question. It's a great movie. It is a great movie. It's right down on the floor of the Senate and fabulous. But when, you know, when we come back, we got to the point where we were looking into Lincoln's internal strategy, figuring out how he could turn the ship of state in his direction, his interpretation of constitution. What are you going to talk about after that in Secession? Can you give us a praise? Well, sure. So after Secession is the war. And after April, 1861, both sides, they put together armies. They're going to fight. Now, the one thing is that both sides also assume that the fight will be short. The union looks at the Confederacy and goes, come on. We've got a national army up here. And we, you know, do we have to really? This is not serious. We'll go out and we'll whip those Johnny Rebs. And that'll be that. So let me make a guess. By 1864 or so, war was still going on. There were hundreds of thousands of casualties. That's true. Yeah, terrible. The mothers and the fathers were writing to Lincoln, saying, stop already. It's really getting tiresome. And the people around Lincoln, who he had convinced to follow him on his interpretation of constitution and the importance of slavery and federal oversight, are fighting with him now. They probably resurrect the old arguments and say, Lincoln, you know, you were wrong. Let's, let's read. Am I right?


8% to 12% of youth are prescribed psychotropic medications, with those in foster care, juvenile justice systems, residential treatment facilities, and with developmental or intellectual disabilities being more likely to receive high-risk regimens. The use of these medications is often off-label and can be associated with significant risk, warranting critical evaluation of their role. Landmark trials, pediatric-specific guidelines, and state-driven initiatives play critical roles in supporting evidence-based use of psychotropic medications in children. However, there is a lack of literature describing the long-term use of these medications in youth, particularly with regard to neurobiological, physical, and social changes that occur throughout development. Deprescribing is an important practice in child and adolescent psychiatry to address concerns for overprescribing, inappropriate polytherapy, and the importance of reevaluating the role of psychotropic medications as children develop.


Family Theater presents Frank Faye from Hollywood, the Mutual Network in Cooperation with Family Theater Incorporated brings you the familiar American classic Rip Van Winkle, starring Frank Faye. It happened about 200 years ago in the little Dutch village of Spukendorf, at the foot of the Catskills. Those ancient mountains shrouded in mist and mystery. On the ragged edge of Spukendorf lived the Van Winkle family. Rip Van Winkle, Dame Van Winkle, and their two children, Judy and Rip Jr. The house was run down, the barn was run down, and the farm was run down. The only thing that would never run down was Dame Winkle's tongue and Rip Van Winkle's rocking chair.  Go out and cut the hay. No, don't hurry, my dear. I've been thinking about cutting that hay for a long time. I've been studying the best way to do it. Been looking for that scythe two years now. Well, of course you can't find a scythe. You wouldn't have the energy. Too much trouble. No, you just dropped it down on the ground somewhere and let it lie there. I guess I did, yes. The laziest man in the village, they call you. Rip Van Winkle, the town loafer. Oh, why did I ever have to marry you? Because, my dear, I am a charming man, a gentle person. Family Theater presents Frank Faye.

I've been thinking about cutting that hay for a long time. I've been studying the best way to do it. I've been looking for that scythe... two years now. Well, of course you can't find a scythe. You wouldn't have the energy. Too much trouble. No, you just dropped it down on the ground somewhere and let it lie there. I guess I did, yes. The laziest man in the village, they call you. Rip Van Winkle, the town loafer. Oh, why did I ever have to marry you? Because, my dear, I am a charming man, a gentle person, reserved, quiet. If you were any quieter, you'd be dead. And if I were, I couldn't hear you scolding me, could I? Some folks fear death. I wonder why.  What makes it squeak so? It's loose in the joints. Well, so are you. Get up now. Go and look for that scythe. Mmm, and I was so comfortable here.  He walks just like you do. Young Rip is a good boy.  Thank heavens his sister Judith is more like I am. Hey, big Rip, Nick Farron wants to see you.  Well, they call me Little Rip, so he must be Big Rip. What does Nicholas Better, the richest man in the village, want with Rip Van Winkle the laziest man in the village? Well, he wants to give him a job. Well, you're not Rip. Nick has a job for you. I had a premonition of something like that. This morning a black cat crossed my path.  So just bring your axe. But I don't know where my axe is. Let me sit down again and think where I last had it. Let me see now. Well, I know where the axe is, Big Rip. In the corner of the woodshed behind that old wheelbarrow. Ah, Little Rip.  It's a grand morning, Nicholas. Hi, Derek. So it is. I keep this bench out here in front of my inn just for days like this. I can sit here and watch the children play. And watch your customers, too. Yes, yes. I managed to keep an eye on their comings and goings. Just now there's but one man staying here. Yes, I've seen him. He's a strange gentleman dressed all in black. That's the man. His name is Vilmor Voom. Vilmor Voom? Strange name, but it fits him. What does he do? He's a buttonist and he wants me to guide him up into the mountains to hunt for rare plants. But not I. I'm afraid of what's up there. Oh, come, come, good Nicholas. Surely you don't believe those silly, fireside tales of goblins and spirits in the Catskills? There are caves in the Catskills and there's venture into trees, wave their branches with no breath of air to stir them. Rocks start rolling down the slope. The force of gravity being what it is, rocks do move occasionally. Nothing is immovable. Even Rip Van Winkle moves when that wife of his gets after him. How that woman can talk. She has an eight-day tongue. I sent little Rip home to tell Big Rip I want him to cut down some trees. Do you want to frighten the man? I don't want to cut down any trees. I know you won't. I just gave him that message to get him out of the house. It must have worked because here he comes now. Oh, Rip, Rip. We saved a place on the bench for you. Yes, Rip. You got out, I see. Good morning, friend Nicholas. And, Derek, it's good to be among friends. Sit down, Rip. Sit down. No, Nicholas, if I must get up again to cut that wood, I'd better just stay up. After all, a man's joints can bend only so many times. Sit down, Rip. Sit down. The wood cutting was just an excuse to get you out of the house. No wood to cut. No wood to cut. And to think I carried this axe all the way here. But, Rip, I do have work for you. Something far easier than cutting wood. How would you like to spend a day roaming around up there in the mountains? Up there? Up there. Just climbing around. Let me tell you how you can earn a bit of money. Here at the inn, a man named Vilmor Vum. I don't care if he's... Could you give me that name again? Vilmor Vum.  Vilmor Vum. Vilmor Vum. Vum, vum, vum. What does he do? Oh, he hunts for strange plants, shrubs, and herbs. He wants somebody to guide him through the Catskill. Vum, vum, vum. He wants to find strange things, but don't ask me to take them there. Oh, this is the man coming right now. Good morning, sir. Ah, yes. It is indeed a very good morning. Permit me to share two of my good friends with you. Vilmor Vum, this is Derek Van Brummel, our schoolmaster. A pleasure, Mr. Van Vum. How do you do, Vilmor Vum? And this is Rip Van Winkle, our Rip Van Winkle. And greetings to you, Mr. Van Winkle. Vum, vum, vum. Say hello to Mr.... Oh, yes, yes, yes. Sit down, Mr. Vum. Thank you, sir. Vum, vum, vum. What did you say, Mr. Van Winkle? Vum, vum, vum. Oh, I said my wife should write a broom, broom, broom. She is a witch. A what? A witch? Well, at least her tongue is. She's a fine woman you understand generous to. She never gives you one word when a thousand will do just as well. Oh, my dear sir. Then you should be interested in one of my plants that I'm hunting. The mumbleberry. The mumbleberry? Oh, yes, it's the most unusual shrub. Oh, it grows about so high, I'm told. What good is it? It cures people of talking too much. My good friend, tell me more. I thought you'd be interested. The leaves are shaped like a star. And the plant, as its name implies, has a berry. Now, the juice of this berry has interesting properties. If it can slow down my wife's tongue, it has marvelous properties. It might say that the pure juice is a very powerful potion. Just two or three drops of the mumbleberry juice in a cup of tea is all that is needed. Two or three drops in a cup of tea. What happens? The person becomes drowsy and loses his voice almost completely for several days. What happens after several days? If the person regains his voice. Her voice. Oh, yes, of course. Yes, she regains her voice. But from then on, her voice is soft and low. Her disposition is more calm.  And a quieter one. Oh, friend, boom.  Does the mumbleberry grow here in the Catskill? I have heard that it does. Would you know it if you found it? Of course. I'd start out to look for it this very morning if I only had a guide there. You say it makes her voice soft and low. Soft and low. Vilmor, boom, you have a guide. Oh. Oh, this is the hardest work I've done in many a moon. Yes, this has been quite a climb. But the scenery is worth it. What a view. Never mind the view, Vilmor, boom. The mumblebee. Yes, but really. The mumbleberry. Look at that panorama. Oh, the silver thread you see whining through Yonder Valley is the mighty Hudson. Now in the years to come, friend. There is that mumbleberry plant. It's getting late. And I don't want to be caught up here after dark. Oh, what are you afraid of? You stay up here and find out. Look. Look, here's a plant with five pointed leaves. Let me see, let me see, let me see. No, no. That is the common Virginia creeper. But we'll keep looking. Oh, yes. Oh, well, well. There seems to be a cave behind these bushes. A cave? Uh-oh. Let's get out of here. Oh, what's the matter? A calamity cave is somewhere around here, and I think that's it. No, no. Don't, don't, don't go in there. Oh, why not? Because you haven't found the mumbleberry bush yet. After you find the mumbleberry bush, I don't care what happens to you. Oh, look, look. Look behind you. I'm afraid to look. What is it? The mumbleberry. Oh. Oh. It's right there, you see. What beautiful berries. I will gather some. Some gather all of them. Don't forget the tea. Yes, but you remember, Rip, mumbleberry juice is very potent. No more than three drops in a cup of tea. For my wife, four drops. Give me a cup of tea. Can't a man make a cup of tea for his wife if he wants to? Yes, but this is the first time you've ever wanted to. Why are you being so nice to me all at once? What have you been up to? Nothing, nothing. I chopped some wood for Nicholas Vetter, and he gave me a pound of tea. And so, my dear, I thought of you. Oh. All right, I'll get cups and softies. Just one cup, my dear. I don't care for any. One drop. Two. Three. Four. Five. Sixth Anna. All right, here's a cup to pour it in. If you'd work more often, we could have cups with handles on them. Even when you work, you don't work at it. You fiddled around all day and did so little work, all you got for it was a pound of tea. Ah, but what tea? Just wait. Well, for all this fuss, it'd better be good. It is, my dear, I don't care for tea, so this is all for you. There you are. Well, thanks. Smells pretty good. Oh, tastes pretty good. See, this is good. Fine, fine, drink it right down. Don't you want some? What? Oh, no, no, my dear. You drink it all. It'll be good for me. That's the finest tea I ever tasted. More. Do you think you ought to... Oh, sure. Keep pouring. I'll drink all of it. All right, you might as well get it good. It does make me feel so good because it loosens my tongue and makes me feel like talking. It does? And I'm and I'm like this forever.  I don't believe for a minute that you were chopping wood all afternoon, though, if you had been chopping wood all afternoon. Let me sleep with you. First, you lost your size and now your axe is gone. Please, dear. I don't believe you were cutting wood at all. Now, listen here, Rip family goat. Now, listen to me. Does Nicholas Dender have some more of that delicious tea? I don't know, and I've been telling you that all night. Well, it's daybreak now. You get up and go and get it. I must have some more. Do you think you can find the right kind? This time, my dear, I've got to find the right kind. Oh, Nicholas. Nicholas, be there. Yes, coming, sir. Oh, it's you, Rip. What do you want at this early hour? Two things. My axe and Vilmore boom. Your axe you may have, but Vilmore boom is not here. He's gone? On the stagecoach, half an hour ago.  Now I'll have to climb those mountains alone. Why? Wasn't that the mumbleberry? It was not. She talked all night. Worse than that, she liked the tea so well I've got to bring home more of it. Oh, eight miles up and eight miles back. Goodbye, Nicholas. Goodbye. Wish me luck. The trouble that woman puts me to, I've hunted all day for a mumbleberry bush. I can't even find the bush I found before. Well, it's getting late. Am I just... How who could that be? How does that strange-looking man know me? And what's in that keg he's towing? Are you calling me, sir? Well, of course I'm calling you, Reverend Winkle. Help me carry this keg. Is it heavy? Of course it's heavy. It's filled to the brim with a special brew we drink this day. Something to drink? I'll be glad to help you. Yeah. Uh, tell for now. It is heavy. Where do we carry it? Straight up this gully, about a mile. Oh, a game of man-pins. Who are these strangely dressed men? Uh, the ship's crew, of course. Oh, of course. Here comes Hendrik, our captain. Be sure you salute him. Oh, St. Jan reporting, sir. Here's the keg, sir. Ah, that is good. Put the keg down here. Aye-aye, sir. Aye-aye, sir. Uh, I'm glad that's over. Thank you for your help, Rip Van Winkle. Aye-aye, sir. You're welcome, sir. Well, that exercise has made me thirsty. Oh, would you like... Yes, I would, since you insist, yes. Jan, the flag is... Aye-aye, sir. Aye-aye, sir. Thank you, Jan. A large flag, sir, or a small one. Oh, it really doesn't matter. A large flag will be all right. Here you are, sir. Thanks. Your good health, sir. Your good health. That was good. Here, here. And let me help you up. Would you like another? I don't think I can stand another. But I'd like to try one lying down. As I told you, this is an ambrosia. The like of which no mortal has ever tasted. Here, again. Thanks. Ah! What is this pulsion? Mumbleberry juice. Oh, no, no. I must have dozed off a bit. I believe I'll have another flag in a... Sorry. Where is everybody? Hey! I'd better get up and see... See what... Oh! Oh, my joints. I must have slept here all night. And look at that. Those rascals stole my fine rifle. And this old rusty one left in its place. Oh, what shall I say to Dane Van Winkle? Maybe. Maybe I can catch them. Hey, Captain Henrik. We can have no better president than General Washington. Well, I grant you, he's a fine man and a great general. But does that make any mistakes, ma'am? Mark my words, Jim, you'll see. I quite sure on Earth he's coming down the road. Eh? Eh, some old codger with white whiskers and a rifle. I have to village seems to be following him. No wonder. I've never seen such an apparition. Eh, here, I'll find out what he's up to. Eh, just a minute, old fella. Where do you think you're going? I... I don't exactly... No, sir. I... I thought I was going to the village of Spookendorf. But everything looks so strange. This is Spookendorf. What do you mean by toting a rifle and leading a crowd of people here on election day? I've been hunting squirrels. As near as I can remember. And these people just started to follow me. I don't know why.  Federalist? Democrat? Sir, I'm just a poor, quiet man. A native of this village and a loyal subject of the king. Long may he live. A Tory, a spy, a refugee. I arrest the man. Here, here, throw him into prison. Wait, wait, wait. Please. I'm not a spy. I don't know what this is all about. Why does everything seem so different since yesterday? Eh, you were here yesterday? Yes. Right over there at the village inn. Why, look. The inn is a different color. And the sign has been changed. Yesterday it was a picture of George III. Whose picture is that? George the Washington. I never heard of the man. He never heard of George Washington. This old devil is a bit touched and they hit me things. Eh, come along with this old fella. Wait, wait. Does anybody here know Rip Van Winkle? The laziest man in the village? Oh, yeah. No, to be sure, to be sure. There. There's Rip Van Winkle over there, leaning against that tree. Where? Oh, my goodness.  I thought I knew. But I'm not myself. That's me yonder. No, no, that's somebody else. Or maybe I'm somebody else. I was myself last night but I fell asleep on the mountain and they've changed my gun and everything's changed too. Now, now, I don't know who I am. Well, just be calm, old man. Come along with us. We'll take it. What's the trouble here? What's the matter with that poor man? That voice. It sounds like young woman. What's your name? Judith. And your father's name? Oh, poor man. Rip Van Winkle was his name. 20 years ago he went away from home with his gun and he's never been heard of since. 20 years. Where's your mother? She died two years ago arguing with a peddler. She talked so fast and furious she broke a blood vessel and died of a stroke. I was afraid that would happen. Don't you know me, daughter? I'm your father. Young Rip Van Winkle once. Old Rip Van Winkle now. Our Rip Van Winkle? Why did you run away and desert my mother and my brother Rip over there and me? Just like your mother. I'm home all right. Tell me to the old place now, father. Judy, did I really sleep 20 years? Yes, father. Strange things happen in the Catskills, as you well know. The men you saw were the spirits of Henry Cutson and the crew of this ship, the Half Moon. That's right. That's right. They called him Captain Henry. Every so often our spirits come back to Earth for one day. They play at nine pins and they drink a strange brew. That they do, daughter, that they do. This is where we used to live. You can see it through the weeds. It looks worse than it did then. And I didn't think it could. I wonder if my old rocking chair is still in the house. Don't try to get in there, father. Those weeds are too thick. One of these days I'll cut these waves. I just never got around to it. Come on, Judy. The weeds won't hurt you. Just follow me and I... No! No, I'll have to cut them. I just found that sight. Here is a little poem that was sent to us this week by a family theater listener. James J. Metcalf wrote it and called it A Father's Prayer.  Be good to her, my loving wife, who's so good to me, and help me honor you and her with love and loyalty. Bestow on us the guiding grace we need from day to day to raise our children properly at home and church and play. We trust in you with all our hearts and offer you our prayers. Our smiles and tears, our glories and our little daily cares. We thank you, God, for everything beneath the stars and sun and promise we will always strive to help your will be done. And now, who remind you as we do each week that a family that prays together stays together.

What's going on everyone? I got a brand new retro review for you guys today as we finish our journey to the Predator Shane Black's new film.  It's an awesome concept I just love that concept and the little ideas that they sprayed throughout this film Little tidbits that they threw in this movie from that kind of knots to the other movies and even some other cool trivia things That I do want to share with you guys or we get into that though I do want you guys know this will contain some spoilers if you haven't seen this film I do recommend it if you don't care about spoilers continue watching the cool trivia things I love in here that I did not catch the first time I watched some because I've only seen this This is my second time viewing it and I still think it's a solid film I don't think it's as good as the first time I watched it But I still enjoy it I think this film is a very solid nice kind of line up into the Predator franchise adding a different dynamic on To this planet where they're on a Predator's planet in a sense like maybe it's not their planet Maybe it's just a game that they go and hunt But it's cool that they take them here and they have to hunt them down But one of the cool things that I love about this film is the tidbit and the nods that they make to the original Predator They is about one of the main characters in here who? Talks about Arnold's character surviving because she knows what the Predators She might not know what it looks like But that's the description that she's given when she sees it and it's cool to get that little nod back to Guatemala in 1987 when we're talking about Arnold there. I love that I didn't notice that the first time I watched this film a couple years back Plus I want to give a shout out to when Topher Grace is running away from this alien This alien is actually the original concept for what the Predator was supposed to look like some cool things there I'd say I know that they were actually planning on doing two Cameos from Danny Glover and Arnold in this film I don't know how it would have worked out But I thought that would have been awesome if they would have put them in here Obviously it was cut out and it was not made into the final film But I thought that would have been a cool idea They have both of them reprising the role because the best part of Predator 2 was Danny Glover And like I said, this film is not a perfect movie. There are a lot of issues with the film But again, it's one of those films that if you're having fun with it Those issues kind of just go to the back of your head Like I can easily kind of talk crap about the characterization How I don't really care about any of the characters and how some of them don't even have charisma to them in a sense you're kind of just hoping some of them will die and You know really the only character in here who has any charisma to him if I'm being completely honest is Walter Goggins The guy always has charisma to him, but playing this like prison kind of dude He just has some of the best moments one of my favorite moments that always makes me bust out laughing and just totally Yeah a moment is when he jumps on the back of the Predator starts shanking him like a prisoner I remember when I first saw this for the first time. I loved it and now ever since I've seen this I love it even more every time I think of Walter Goggins. That's the main moment. I ever think of any film It doesn't matter. That's the one moment in this movie that sticks out to me cool to see these elite warriors really in a sense Survival on this planet have to work together put away their differences and all work together Because they're all different types of units in this world some are serial killers some are prisoners some are black ops some are spets nots from Russia you have a Yakuza cartel members They all have different ideas in different ways that they've survived on earth and planted and killed people on earth and In a sense they bring that to here not all the way because not all the characters a lot of them die off pretty fast But you still get a cool realizing look to a lot of them and they're different types of fighting styles And that's something that I probably would have liked to see a little bit more of them Just get the focus on Adrian Brody's character and leech a braga's character. It's not a bad thing. I like their characters I think their characters are fine sometimes Adrian Brody is a little bit overly serious and I know he's trying to put on his macho-ness for this film because He's an excellent actor when it comes to dramatic stuff when it comes down to these action roles I don't think he's the perfect match, but I still think he's solid in this movie personally my favorite character in this whole movie Is Alicia Braga I think she's awesome as Isabelle and even though Walter Gorgon's really has that standout moment I think Alicia does such a good job with her character where she's not overly serious But she also has a that nice Charismatic smile to her that you really cheering for her character to survive against the predators So Lawrence Fishburne shows up in here becoming one of the only people actually kill a predator in here He's killed like three or four he talks about and I love that like Lawrence Fishburne shows up You know he is surviving in a sense and I love that someone is actually beating the predators That's cool to see that there is a way to beat them a cool cultural elements They bring him with the predators and they're kind of just symbolic-ness that they have in here There's a lot of depth that you can go into this film, but not at the same time This is very much just an 80s style action film filmed in 2010 It has some decent action moments memorable moments with Walter Gorgon stabbing the two predators fighting off against one another Because they're two different tribes Which I thought that was awesome to bring that different layer that there are different predator species out there And different types of tribes that they have with them one another and in a sense It's really just all a game between all these different predators Oh, you guys can probably take a shot for every time I've said that word, but it's the truth That's what they're called. I don't know what else to call them. Well, I'm gonna give predators a B-minus I really enjoy this film. I like rewatching it. It's a ton of fun at times Even though you don't really care about any of the characters It is one of those films to check out because I cannot wait to give you guys my review for the predators Shane Black's new one so make sure to look out for that later this week I can't wait to talk about that film guys Seriously, I am like over the moon excited for it, but tell me guys What do you guys thoughts on the whole predator franchise now that we finished up?
