Hour 3 - Water Skiing Santa, Legal Challenges, and AI in Society

The Chris and Amy Show on KMOX

In this Hour, Christopher Cruise first highlights the beloved annual tradition of Water Skiing Santa Claus in Alexandria, Virginia, a 39-year-old event where 60 volunteers dressed as Santa and his reindeer showcase their water skiing skills. This exciting spectacle attracts thousands of spectators on Christmas Eve and has become a local holiday tradition. The episode then delves into legal challenges around banning TikTok, including the lack of national security clearance for judges to review evidence and the potential for the Supreme Court to issue an injunction. The impact on businesses and individuals relying on TikTok is also discussed. Next, the conversation shifts to the constitutional protections for children regarding smartphone use in schools. Christopher explores the logistical challenges of enforcing laws requiring students to store phones in lockers and pouches, and the government's interest in reducing distractions as a driver for new legislation. Finally, the episode addresses AI in law enforcement and healthcare, focusing on the ethical and constitutional issues surrounding AI cameras for traffic violations, the use of AI in medical decisions, and the importance of human oversight, especially in military and high-stakes applications of AI.
