Scrolling 2 Death

Putting Kids First (with Senator Ted Cruz)


Listen Later

Today I'm joined by U.S. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas to talk about keeping kids safe online.


Senator Cruz is a father to two teenage girls. He is facing the same struggles as all parents related to social media and smartphones.


In addition to offering advice for listeners, Senator Cruz introduces us to three important bills that can help keep our kids safe online.

  • The Take it Down Act
  • The Kids Off Social Media Act
  • The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA)

  • Please contact your Senators and Representatives in the House to ask them to pass KOSA, the Take it Down Act and the Kids Off Social Media Act.


    About Senator Ted Cruz:

    In 2013, Ted was sworn into the United States Senate, where he has been a passionate fighter for limited government, economic growth, and national security. He has authored dozens of legislative measures that have been signed into law, including expanding 529 college savings accounts to allow parents to save for K-12 public, private, and religious education, repealing Obamacare’s individual mandate, imposing sanctions on terrorists who use civilians as human shields, designating North Korea as a state sponsor of terrorism, targeting Putin’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline through multiple bills that halted construction and kept it stalled, reauthorizing and reforming NASA, holding dictatorships in South America accountable, and ensuring the availability of additional records to help solve civil rights cold cases.


    He is also leading the fight in the Senate to support Texas jobs, rein in Big Tech, secure the border, and fundamentally reassess the U.S.-China relationship and hold the Chinese Communist Party accountable for covering up the coronavirus pandemic, committing human rights atrocities, and engaging in censorship, propaganda, and espionage in the United States.


    Ted, his wife Heidi, their two daughters Caroline and Catherine, and his entire family have been blessed to live the American Dream—the idea that anyone, through hard work and determination, can achieve anything. Ted is committed to ensuring every family has that same opportunity.
