00:01:08.460HHS Secretary RFK Jr. urges American kids to put down the phone and reconnect with nature, family, and community.
00:01:14.040And I want to be very clear about this right now.
00:01:15.540And everybody knows this, but I'm not telling you something you don't know.
00:01:18.100But I worked late last night, and my three older children are moved out now, but I like to get home earlier so I can have dinner and spend time with my 9-year-old usually.
00:01:27.780But she had friends over for a play date, and so I knew she was going to be playing with them until they left at 8.
00:01:32.360So I left the office about 6.30, and I pulled into a Mexican food restaurant to get dinner by myself.
00:01:40.020And I got set in the corner of this big restaurant, and so I was looking, and I almost shot video of it, but you don't need me to shoot video of this.
00:01:47.120you see this yourself whenever you go out to eat and i sat there and they came over and i ordered
00:01:50.960some fajitas and drinking my iced tea and and i looked at the 30 or so 25 tables or so and some
00:01:59.520booths back there and there was probably 10 tables mixed in with families and it'd be a mom and dad
00:02:06.380and one kid or two kids or three kids and it was hispanic parents some black parents um but mainly
00:02:13.280I mean, I'd say it was seven of the 10 people with kids.0.65
00:02:17.000It was white people, but it was all the same.0.78
00:02:18.880The adults are sitting there talking.0.92
00:02:21.560And I sat there and ate for about an hour.
00:02:24.360And the kids are all like this on the phones, the iPads,
00:02:28.640no communications or mouths hanging open.
00:02:32.540And I meant to send you guys this, this, this, this graphic
00:02:37.440that kind of showed how different generations have been labeled
00:02:40.820and known as from the greatest generation, you know, to now.
00:02:45.240But Generation Alpha, you know, I guess kids under 10 or whatever it is,
00:02:49.280I mean, you go out and they admit they're losing verbal skills,
00:02:53.320their IQs are way down, black, white, Hispanic, doesn't matter, Asian.1.00
00:02:57.040And, you know, even the generation above that, they don't want to drive a car,1.00
00:03:05.100they don't get friends, their buddies are AI.
00:03:09.460And there was a big study came out that infertility in the West, upwards of half a drop in the number of children people are having, we'll put the study on screen, is caused by number one cell phones, not just the chemicals in the water, not just all of that.
00:03:24.960Smartphones arrived just before the U.S. fertility rate plunged.
