00:00:09.890 --> 00:05:22.379
Thank you. Thank you. Hello, hello, hello. I think hello
2
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:27.759
only to Rumble at this point. It is the TMI show,
3
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:31.420
the Ted Manila information show. I am Manila. Ted is
4
00:05:31.620 --> 00:05:34.459
on his potty break. Producer Robbie working in the background.
5
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:40.279
So it is Tuesday, September 15th. We're halfway through the month.
6
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:44.230
In case you guys missed it, a little housekeeping. We
7
00:05:44.410 --> 00:05:49.310
are this week starting our new podcast. Two times, twice
8
00:05:49.370 --> 00:05:56.459
weekly show schedule. Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10 a.m. Because we are...
9
00:05:56.480 --> 00:06:00.980
There's Ted. So we are sorting out some kinks and
10
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:06.500
stuff because we are dropping the Rumble creator program because
11
00:06:06.540 --> 00:06:11.139
they are screwing all the creators that don't have full
12
00:06:11.180 --> 00:06:16.199
broadcasting contracts with them. We being one of them. Whatever
13
00:06:16.259 --> 00:06:18.910
the creator program meant. Robbie is going to fix all
14
00:06:18.930 --> 00:06:23.439
the other stuff because the kinks in the software are
15
00:06:23.509 --> 00:06:26.500
not playing ball. We're working it out.
16
00:06:27.259 --> 00:06:30.139
And also StreamYard is not pulling over the Rumble chat,
17
00:06:30.180 --> 00:06:31.100
which is awesome.
18
00:06:34.019 --> 00:06:36.279
So we'll have to figure those things out. But anyway.
19
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:39.759
Are we on YouTube? No, the stream exploded.
20
00:06:39.790 --> 00:06:41.449
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to
21
00:06:41.490 --> 00:06:44.370
premiere this on YouTube as soon as the live stream.
22
00:06:44.470 --> 00:06:48.889
As a live. Yeah. Yeah. So we got some housekeeping
23
00:06:48.949 --> 00:06:52.970
there to figure out. But again, the new schedule for
24
00:06:52.990 --> 00:06:56.089
the foreseeable future until we figure out algorithms and all
25
00:06:56.149 --> 00:07:00.240
that will be Tuesday and Thursday, 10 a.m. Eastern. And then,
26
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:04.660
of course, with the focus shifting over as reluctant as
27
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:07.879
I am to YouTube because we have no other options,
28
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.620
you'll be able to find each individual segment. So each
29
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:15.480
news topic that Ted and I and Robbie sometimes all
30
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:21.230
fight about. There will be four independent standalone segments. So
31
00:07:21.250 --> 00:07:25.769
you can find that particular topic that's in the live
32
00:07:25.810 --> 00:07:29.540
stream show. You can scroll through our description and find
33
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:31.399
the topics that you're interested in, and you'll be able
34
00:07:31.420 --> 00:07:36.040
to find that on YouTube as a standalone video. So
35
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:38.220
there you go. That's some of the changes we're working through,
36
00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:40.759
and we'll figure it out in the coming weeks. So
37
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:43.319
we thank you for sticking with us and coming here
38
00:07:43.459 --> 00:07:47.779
at 10 o'clock like the old days last week. So
39
00:07:48.420 --> 00:07:51.480
with that, as Robbie's sorting things out in the background,
40
00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:54.899
there's no other way to do it other than live, Ted.
41
00:07:55.550 --> 00:07:57.170
True.
42
00:07:57.290 --> 00:07:59.529
This be it. But anyway, this is going to give
43
00:07:59.569 --> 00:08:05.250
us more views than our normal show anyway. So there
44
00:08:05.290 --> 00:08:08.180
you go. All right. With that, any other housekeeping we
45
00:08:08.209 --> 00:08:13.160
should mention, Ted or Robbie? No. Nope.
46
00:08:13.180 --> 00:08:13.339
Okay.
47
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:23.870
We're going to go straight into... The topics. All right.
48
00:08:24.189 --> 00:08:32.110
So first things first, Palestine talk. However, it's not what
49
00:08:32.149 --> 00:08:37.529
you think. Macklemore, if you guys follow entertainment media, Macklemore
50
00:08:37.710 --> 00:08:41.649
is a fairly famous musician. He got dropped from the
51
00:08:41.769 --> 00:08:46.580
Ed Sheeran tour after a pro-Palestinian speech. Malcolm Moore has
52
00:08:46.620 --> 00:08:49.860
been dropped from the remaining U.S. states of Ed Sheeran's
53
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:55.759
Loop Tour following backlash over his pro-Palestine statements at MetLife
54
00:08:55.799 --> 00:09:01.190
Stadium in New Jersey. During two September performances, the rapper
55
00:09:01.230 --> 00:09:04.370
told the audience he wanted to use some of America's
56
00:09:04.610 --> 00:09:09.330
largest stages to say two words, free Palestine. Then he
57
00:09:09.370 --> 00:09:13.399
performed Heinz Hall, or is it Hinz Hall? His 2024
58
00:09:13.389 --> 00:09:17.799
protest song, about the war in Gaza, while images of
59
00:09:18.019 --> 00:09:24.139
Palestinian destruction and American campus protests appeared on stadium screens
60
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:30.159
all around. The remarks drew condemnation from the Israeli American Council,
61
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:35.379
the Anti-Defamation League, otherwise known as ADL, and other organizations.
62
00:09:35.659 --> 00:09:40.950
Critics accused McElmore of presenting a one-sided account of the
63
00:09:40.990 --> 00:09:47.940
war and promoting rhetoric they considered harmful to Jewish concert goers.
64
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:53.360
Tour promoter Messina Touring Group said several stadiums refused to
65
00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:57.929
host concerts with Macklemore on that lineup as removal prevented
66
00:09:58.009 --> 00:10:01.899
the possible cancellation of those shows online. affecting hundreds of
67
00:10:01.940 --> 00:10:06.139
thousands of fans. McElmore had been scheduled to open eight
68
00:10:06.500 --> 00:10:11.070
of Ed Sheeran's remaining 10 U.S. dates. McElmore blamed much
69
00:10:11.110 --> 00:10:14.350
of the pressure on New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft,
70
00:10:14.990 --> 00:10:19.389
whose company owns Gillette Stadium. Kraft responded that Macklemore's recent
71
00:10:19.460 --> 00:10:24.500
performances and past imagery crossed a line into rhetoric he
72
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:30.399
considered offensive to the Jewish community. Bob Kraft himself is Jewish.
73
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:35.870
Macklemore maintains that criticism of the Israeli government is not
74
00:10:35.970 --> 00:10:40.789
criticism of Jewish people. Sheeran has not publicly addressed the dispute.
75
00:10:40.889 --> 00:10:44.879
Macklemore described the decision as a painful disagreement between longtime friends,
76
00:10:45.269 --> 00:10:48.240
but said losing the tour would not change his opinion.
77
00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:54.730
The controversy revives a very old argument. Should musicians just
78
00:10:54.789 --> 00:10:59.490
stick to music? Now, historically, many never have. Billie Holiday
79
00:10:59.649 --> 00:11:04.750
confronted racial terror with strange fruit. Woody Guthrie and Pete
80
00:11:04.809 --> 00:11:09.720
Seeger sang about workers, poverty, and war. Nina Simone responded
81
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:15.679
to racist violence with Mississippi G-Dam, the actual word, not
82
00:11:16.690 --> 00:11:22.629
We can't say it because of YouTube. Bob Dylan, Marvin Gaye, Crosby, Stills,
83
00:11:22.690 --> 00:11:25.950
and Nash & Young supplied soundtracks for civil rights and
84
00:11:26.110 --> 00:11:33.409
anti-war movements. Later generations followed. Public Enemy, NWA, challenging police
85
00:11:33.470 --> 00:11:37.490
and racial inequality. Rage Against the Machine, one of my favorites,
86
00:11:37.980 --> 00:11:42.320
attacked corporate and government power. The Chicks, formerly known as
87
00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:45.919
the Dixie Chicks, opposed the Iraq War. and they paid
88
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:49.350
a heavy price for it. Conservative artists have also used
89
00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:54.269
music politically, including Lee Greenwood, Toby Keith, and country performers
90
00:11:54.470 --> 00:11:59.889
who champion patriotism, the military, and so-called traditional values. Music
91
00:11:59.929 --> 00:12:04.029
has long carried political ideas because songs travel farther than speeches,
92
00:12:04.470 --> 00:12:08.610
but a stadium tour is also a multi-million dollar business
93
00:12:08.710 --> 00:12:13.490
involving promoters, venue owners, sponsors, and of course, ticket buyers.
94
00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:19.149
Macklemore exercised his voice. The people controlling the stages exercised theirs.
95
00:12:19.690 --> 00:12:23.570
The fight is over who gets the microphone and who
96
00:12:23.809 --> 00:12:28.600
gets to pull the plug. So, Ted, you and I,
97
00:12:28.629 --> 00:12:29.940
I think between the two of us, have gone to
98
00:12:29.980 --> 00:12:35.519
quite a few concerts in our day. Yes, we have.
99
00:12:37.740 --> 00:12:40.710
And why was it that in the days of your...
100
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:44.720
You know, we're talking about when before streaming came into existence.
101
00:12:44.899 --> 00:12:48.450
We talked about this last week. Why were musicians allowed
102
00:12:48.570 --> 00:12:52.669
to say the things they said? I mean, like we said,
103
00:12:52.710 --> 00:12:55.409
going as the article sites going as far back into
104
00:12:55.450 --> 00:13:01.450
history as Billie Holiday. Why now is it suddenly unsavory
105
00:13:01.610 --> 00:13:05.669
for Macklemore to say two words, free Palestine?
106
00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:11.809
Well, it's hard to know what was going through Robert
107
00:13:11.850 --> 00:13:15.570
Kraft's mind, but let's try to give him the benefit
108
00:13:15.610 --> 00:13:18.809
of whatever doubt there is here, which is to say, okay,
109
00:13:18.889 --> 00:13:22.820
so in the same way that Macklemore thinks that it's
110
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:27.860
his ethical obligation or duty to his own free speech
111
00:13:27.899 --> 00:13:31.740
to express himself in support of the people of Palestine,
112
00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:36.879
Kraft might be thinking, listen, um, There's no genocide, and
113
00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:42.389
I'm pro-Israel, and I'm not going to let my space,
114
00:13:42.549 --> 00:13:46.149
my venue that I own, be used to express these
115
00:13:46.230 --> 00:13:53.639
thoughts that I find offensive. And so I suspect that's
116
00:13:53.700 --> 00:13:58.919
what happened here with Kraft. He's like, well, it's my space.
117
00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:01.720
I don't have to allow anyone to do that. I
118
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:04.649
think in the past... there was more, I mean, obviously
119
00:14:04.710 --> 00:14:07.649
censorship is not new. You can ask the dead Kennedys
120
00:14:07.730 --> 00:14:10.950
about that. You know, you can ask the, you know,
121
00:14:11.230 --> 00:14:15.179
Tipper Gore about that. Censorship of music has been with
122
00:14:15.259 --> 00:14:19.080
us for a long time. Elvis Presley, you know, I mean,
123
00:14:19.460 --> 00:14:22.919
but it's, I think there was more of a sense
124
00:14:22.980 --> 00:14:28.490
among concert promoters and venue managers that like, listen, it's
125
00:14:28.529 --> 00:14:30.230
not really our place to put our thumb on the
126
00:14:30.269 --> 00:14:33.100
scale here. Like we just provide a space and a,
127
00:14:33.350 --> 00:14:35.870
People want to rent it. We rent it and they
128
00:14:35.909 --> 00:14:38.629
can have our concerts. There was more of that sense.
129
00:14:39.230 --> 00:14:43.529
And like, I think now people are more emboldened to say, well,
130
00:14:43.769 --> 00:14:46.500
I'm not going to allow, maybe they're not as desperate
131
00:14:46.529 --> 00:14:51.379
for the money. There's fewer places to perform. Maybe that's
132
00:14:51.419 --> 00:14:55.059
what it is. Maybe it's the nature of this particular event.
133
00:14:55.860 --> 00:15:01.330
conflict in that, like, you know, the people who, Zionists
134
00:15:01.730 --> 00:15:05.549
seem to be resorting a lot more to censorship than
135
00:15:05.570 --> 00:15:11.200
other people with right-wing political ideologies. Zionism is a right-wing
136
00:15:11.220 --> 00:15:16.639
political ideology. And I think it's because they've really run,
137
00:15:16.740 --> 00:15:20.919
their arguments that used to work don't work anymore. I mean,
138
00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:24.720
they fall flat. Nobody believes that that criticism of Israel
139
00:15:24.779 --> 00:15:29.259
is the same thing as antisemitism. Nobody believes that it's
140
00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:34.039
a lie to say that there's a genocide going on.
141
00:15:34.580 --> 00:15:38.929
And nobody believes that Israel is behaving ethically, right? So
142
00:15:39.309 --> 00:15:41.909
basically most moral army in the world. I was just
143
00:15:41.970 --> 00:15:45.929
going to say that. All that shit's just falling apart.
144
00:15:46.409 --> 00:15:49.730
So I think that when you don't have good arguments
145
00:15:49.769 --> 00:15:53.850
or counter-arguments, Then you basically just start screaming, shut up.
146
00:15:54.529 --> 00:15:58.169
And that's what they're doing here. Right. I mean, it's
147
00:15:58.629 --> 00:16:01.090
it's literally like a sign of weakness on the part
148
00:16:01.129 --> 00:16:05.059
of the Zionist cause. They're on the way out. You know,
149
00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:06.679
you lost Israel screwed.
150
00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:10.700
I mean, we're done with the Ellison's trying to run defense. Obviously,
151
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:14.299
you know, the Oracle people, the Ellison family. buying up
152
00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:18.899
all of the different forms of media, all the different mediums, right?
153
00:16:18.940 --> 00:16:26.789
From TikTok to CBS to Paramount slash Skydance. I hate that.
154
00:16:26.850 --> 00:16:28.509
I hate that name, Skydance.
155
00:16:28.649 --> 00:16:30.970
I actually kind of like the name, Skydance.
156
00:16:31.669 --> 00:16:35.840
It's ridiculous. It's like the Lord of the Dance. What?
157
00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:38.100
What is that? It's so gay.
158
00:16:38.179 --> 00:16:41.159
I kind of like it, but, but you know, on,
159
00:16:41.299 --> 00:16:43.480
on that note, it's the same as Bob craft here
160
00:16:43.559 --> 00:16:48.299
saying Gillette stadium is mine. It's my house. I don't
161
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:50.399
like what you're saying. So you can't come in.
162
00:16:50.970 --> 00:16:51.350
Yeah.
163
00:16:51.379 --> 00:16:53.919
So I get that. That's his right. I get it.
164
00:16:54.470 --> 00:16:57.750
It's his legal, right? It's just that it's like a legal, right?
165
00:16:57.769 --> 00:16:59.169
He shouldn't exercise.
166
00:16:59.190 --> 00:17:00.070
Right.
167
00:17:00.149 --> 00:17:00.970
And he shouldn't.
168
00:17:00.990 --> 00:17:03.269
I mean, of course, obviously you can push this logically.
169
00:17:03.309 --> 00:17:07.210
Let's say you were having, a pro-Nazi rally. I mean, yeah,
170
00:17:07.829 --> 00:17:12.680
Madison Square Garden hosted a pro-Nazi rally one time. I
171
00:17:12.700 --> 00:17:15.839
think it was in the 30s for the German Bund.
172
00:17:15.859 --> 00:17:18.880
You know, so it's like, yeah, it's like, well, they
173
00:17:18.900 --> 00:17:22.700
were like, hey, those Reichsmarks will, you know, they spend
174
00:17:22.740 --> 00:17:27.960
just as well as the dollars. So I think that you,
175
00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:30.180
but let's just say, you know, you had like a
176
00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:31.960
stadium and it's like, well, would you rent it out
177
00:17:31.980 --> 00:17:36.710
to the KKK? Probably not, right? So that's probably what
178
00:17:36.779 --> 00:17:40.720
Kraft is saying. Like, similarly, I don't have to run out.
179
00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:44.000
He doesn't have to. And it's like, and like, here's
180
00:17:44.019 --> 00:17:47.099
the thing. You don't have to do that. But everybody's
181
00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:50.579
going to look at Kraft and say, okay, well, you're
182
00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:54.920
a fascist. And that's okay, too. You know, I mean,
183
00:17:55.059 --> 00:17:55.960
he's a fascist.
184
00:17:56.619 --> 00:18:01.119
I look at Bob Kraft and I think Asian massage parlor.
185
00:18:01.140 --> 00:18:04.789
He was in trouble. a few years ago, you know,
186
00:18:04.849 --> 00:18:09.109
happy ending massage place, um, and contributing to human trafficking.
187
00:18:09.710 --> 00:18:13.559
If those charges are in fact to be believed, um,
188
00:18:13.730 --> 00:18:15.839
that's what I see when I see Bob craft, but
189
00:18:15.900 --> 00:18:19.339
you know, that's just me, Asian lady. Um, some of
190
00:18:19.380 --> 00:18:22.880
the viewer comments, Tara Preda wild says, same reason in
191
00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:26.900
living color. I loved that show could no longer get
192
00:18:26.940 --> 00:18:31.039
shown on TV. We're in the censorship age. Well-dressed nerd says,
193
00:18:32.019 --> 00:18:35.700
I'm pretty sure Zionism is what's going through Kraft's mind.
194
00:18:37.299 --> 00:18:37.599
Yeah.
195
00:18:38.380 --> 00:18:41.559
Yeah, I think that's a fair assessment. So I think
196
00:18:41.900 --> 00:18:46.490
we're there now, Ted, because on the face of it,
197
00:18:46.569 --> 00:18:52.069
calling everybody an anti-Semite doesn't work anymore. So now you
198
00:18:52.109 --> 00:18:55.400
just have to resort to saying, I'm taking my ball
199
00:18:55.460 --> 00:18:58.470
and I'm going home. or I own the basketball court
200
00:18:58.769 --> 00:18:59.150
or I.
201
00:18:59.170 --> 00:19:00.970
Own the hoop. You take your ball and go home.
202
00:19:01.049 --> 00:19:03.470
I'm taking the, I'm taking the hoop down and nobody
203
00:19:03.509 --> 00:19:06.930
can play. That's basically where we're at now at that stage.
204
00:19:07.509 --> 00:19:10.279
So I don't know where it ends, Ted. I mean,
205
00:19:10.730 --> 00:19:14.460
at some point there are going to be enough artists
206
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:19.759
that stand up together and say, you know what, we're
207
00:19:19.779 --> 00:19:21.339
going to break free of this and we're going to
208
00:19:21.380 --> 00:19:26.400
say what we want to say. Um, I think in
209
00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:28.119
the same way that we saw, you know, in the
210
00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:32.519
early 90s with movies like Boys in the Hood and
211
00:19:33.140 --> 00:19:41.019
rap groups like NWA, really, really pushing the envelope and
212
00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:47.769
forcing that into like the mainstream discourse. It's already become
213
00:19:47.789 --> 00:19:49.609
the main, I mean, Ted, we've been at this for
214
00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:53.740
three years now. The October 7th anniversary is coming up.
215
00:19:54.099 --> 00:19:57.160
This is coming on three years. It has become front
216
00:19:57.220 --> 00:20:03.549
and center mainstream discourse. It hasn't gone away. It hasn't abated.
217
00:20:03.650 --> 00:20:09.490
So at what point do these Bob Craft types... Do
218
00:20:09.529 --> 00:20:14.750
they just say, enough artists are going to say, we're
219
00:20:14.789 --> 00:20:17.269
not going to do tours with you. We're just not
220
00:20:17.289 --> 00:20:17.650
going to go.
221
00:20:18.190 --> 00:20:19.119
Well, it's too pronged.
222
00:20:19.430 --> 00:20:22.299
Because, you know, we know about how there's a lot
223
00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:25.380
of geofencing going on around churches. You know, where they're
224
00:20:25.420 --> 00:20:28.519
trying to get people to go to church. I'm not
225
00:20:28.539 --> 00:20:30.240
going to assume that you're a Zionist. Well, I got
226
00:20:30.289 --> 00:20:37.039
this message 20 minutes ago. Live Israel Briefing. Please join me,
227
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:41.359
Degardo Franks, your CUFI state coordinator for a live briefing
228
00:20:41.420 --> 00:20:44.950
on Israel's ongoing conflicts in the media, on college campuses,
229
00:20:45.150 --> 00:20:49.150
and throughout our country. Additionally, learn about the positive impact
230
00:20:49.309 --> 00:20:51.789
our members have made on the national level and discover
231
00:20:51.829 --> 00:20:54.930
how you can help strengthen Israel, protect the Jewish people,
232
00:20:55.430 --> 00:21:00.500
and combat anti-Semitism within your church, your community, and your
233
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:05.319
state legislature. Tuesday, September 29th at 7 p.m. I will
234
00:21:05.339 --> 00:21:08.400
not be there. But this is the point, though.
235
00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:09.940
Controlling the venue.
236
00:21:10.539 --> 00:21:13.799
It's two-pronged. So they cancel people who they don't like,
237
00:21:14.579 --> 00:21:17.200
and then they try and go out and artificially astroturf
238
00:21:17.740 --> 00:21:20.569
based on what they consider to be a friendly venue, which,
239
00:21:20.589 --> 00:21:22.970
let's be honest, most evangelical churches are going to be,
240
00:21:23.750 --> 00:21:26.049
and that's how they're doing this. Israel might be on
241
00:21:26.089 --> 00:21:27.589
its way out, but there's still a lot of fight
242
00:21:27.630 --> 00:21:29.849
left in that dog, and I do not see it
243
00:21:29.930 --> 00:21:30.769
ending anytime soon.
244
00:21:32.980 --> 00:21:35.420
Yeah, that's going to suck because I think a lot
245
00:21:35.859 --> 00:21:42.559
of musicians who some happen to be Jewish themselves are
246
00:21:42.599 --> 00:21:47.380
standing up against this war. And I don't know who
247
00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:51.900
wins here, Ted, the musicians or the billionaires who own
248
00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:52.380
the venues.
249
00:21:53.339 --> 00:22:00.750
Who wins? I don't know. I mean, it's hard to say.
250
00:22:00.789 --> 00:22:04.970
I mean, I think normally speaking, The musicians are the
251
00:22:05.089 --> 00:22:10.589
ones who get, who win things. The musicians are the
252
00:22:10.730 --> 00:22:15.259
ones who, you know, have access to the public. Nobody's,
253
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:19.099
nobody's a fan of a concert venue.
254
00:22:19.740 --> 00:22:22.240
I love Madison Square Garden. What are you talking about?
255
00:22:22.779 --> 00:22:23.019
Yeah.
256
00:22:23.380 --> 00:22:23.640
Yeah.
257
00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:26.279
I don't, I think ultimately that's, what's going to win.
258
00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:31.839
So you think the musicians, I, yeah, I think so too,
259
00:22:31.880 --> 00:22:36.349
because I think now, you can't put the toothpaste back
260
00:22:36.390 --> 00:22:39.849
in the tube, right? Like you, if the, if, if
261
00:22:40.950 --> 00:22:44.549
enough musicians banded together, Ted, we could see something like
262
00:22:44.589 --> 00:22:49.130
a live aid, right? Where they don't need a Gillette
263
00:22:49.150 --> 00:22:51.910
stadium where they don't, you know, they don't, they don't
264
00:22:51.970 --> 00:22:57.109
need a stadium for this. They can go find, you know,
265
00:22:57.150 --> 00:23:00.819
basically get a permit to use like a piece of
266
00:23:00.859 --> 00:23:02.640
a national park or something, you know, you know what
267
00:23:02.660 --> 00:23:05.279
I mean? You can get a big plot of land.
268
00:23:05.549 --> 00:23:08.950
They can throw in their own money and they can
269
00:23:09.029 --> 00:23:11.869
reach the public directly and say, this is where you donate.
270
00:23:11.910 --> 00:23:13.650
This is how you tune in. This is how, you know,
271
00:23:13.730 --> 00:23:15.470
and they can pay for it that way and they
272
00:23:15.509 --> 00:23:19.849
can get their message across. I don't think venues can
273
00:23:19.930 --> 00:23:24.519
beat the musicians in 2026. If the, if the musicians
274
00:23:24.839 --> 00:23:29.339
had enough balls and they can band together, they could
275
00:23:29.420 --> 00:23:34.839
do themselves a brand new live aid style concert benefiting
276
00:23:35.859 --> 00:23:38.880
Gaza and they could have their free speech. And I
277
00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:43.430
think that would really kind of socket to the Bob
278
00:23:43.470 --> 00:23:48.390
crafts of the world and, um, concert promoters like live
279
00:23:48.430 --> 00:23:51.990
nation or whoever, um, that'll send a pretty strong message,
280
00:23:52.029 --> 00:23:58.500
I think. So unless they're there, they're agents, right? Like,
281
00:23:58.930 --> 00:24:02.170
I'm talking about their, you know, like their booking agents,
282
00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:04.880
their agents rein them in. I don't think there's any
283
00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:09.599
other way. But remember, the agents work for the talent.
284
00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:12.259
The talent doesn't work for the agent. People often forget
285
00:24:12.299 --> 00:24:15.279
that role. They can tell their agents if their agents
286
00:24:15.299 --> 00:24:17.789
try to shut them up to go shove it up
287
00:24:17.829 --> 00:24:22.930
their hoo-hahs and put together their own live aid. So
288
00:24:23.029 --> 00:24:25.609
I would like to see that happen. Honestly, there's enough
289
00:24:25.670 --> 00:24:30.549
people that know what's going on. So I hope that's
290
00:24:30.569 --> 00:24:34.069
what happens. I hope Macklemore stands up and says, hey,
291
00:24:34.809 --> 00:24:37.660
how about that idea Manila had? Let's have a live
292
00:24:37.740 --> 00:24:44.400
aid for Gaza. All right, let's go to the next topic.
293
00:24:49.109 --> 00:24:53.059
Meta is facing a proposed class action lawsuit accusing the
294
00:24:53.140 --> 00:24:57.200
company of using Facebook and Instagram photos to train AI
295
00:24:57.400 --> 00:25:01.200
and facial recognition systems without the knowledge or consent of
296
00:25:01.240 --> 00:25:05.599
the people pictured. Parents and kids in Illinois and California
297
00:25:05.700 --> 00:25:09.710
filed their lawsuit in federal court in Chicago. They allege
298
00:25:09.970 --> 00:25:15.359
Meta extracted biometric information from uploaded photos to train its
299
00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:22.519
emu and muse image generators and develop NameTag, an unreleased
300
00:25:22.740 --> 00:25:28.490
facial recognition feature for Meta's smart glasses. Wired Magazine previously
301
00:25:28.529 --> 00:25:32.750
reported that NameTag code appeared inside the glasses' companion app,
302
00:25:33.150 --> 00:25:36.210
which had been downloaded more than 50 million times. The
303
00:25:36.250 --> 00:25:39.990
system was reportedly designed to convert faces seen through the
304
00:25:40.029 --> 00:25:44.890
glasses into biometric signatures and compare them with stored face prints.
305
00:25:45.410 --> 00:25:49.390
Meta removed the code after Wired's report and says no
306
00:25:49.430 --> 00:25:53.799
consumer feature was released. The plaintiffs argue that unreleased does
307
00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:57.759
not mean unused. Their lawsuit could represent millions of people
308
00:25:57.799 --> 00:26:02.640
whose faces appeared in photos uploaded since September 2021. Under
309
00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:07.349
Illinois law, intentional or reckless biometric privacy violations can carry
310
00:26:07.380 --> 00:26:11.990
damages of $ 5, 000 each. Meta calls the lawsuit without merit
311
00:26:12.069 --> 00:26:15.630
and says it's been transparent about using information to improve
312
00:26:15.650 --> 00:26:20.049
its AI. The company also says it's not building a
313
00:26:20.089 --> 00:26:24.259
universal facial database. This case differs from a growing collection
314
00:26:24.279 --> 00:26:29.740
of copyright lawsuits against AI companies. The complaint here is familiar, nevertheless.
315
00:26:30.180 --> 00:26:34.950
Companies allegedly took valuable material first and worried about permission later.
316
00:26:35.450 --> 00:26:40.730
Comedian Sarah Silverman sued OpenAI and Meta in 2023, alleging
317
00:26:40.809 --> 00:26:45.309
that their systems were trained on unauthorized copies of copyrighted books,
318
00:26:45.779 --> 00:26:51.039
including her memoir, The Bedwetter. Although Silverman's comedy career and
319
00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:54.539
routines are often mentioned in coverage, her legal claims focused
320
00:26:54.619 --> 00:26:59.230
primarily on her written work. Courts later dismissed or narrowed
321
00:26:59.309 --> 00:27:04.029
portions of those cases. Authors George R.R. Martin, John Grisham,
322
00:27:04.309 --> 00:27:07.660
and Jody Picoult have also accused AI companies of using
323
00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:12.720
copyrighted books without authorization. Visual artists have sued over image
324
00:27:12.799 --> 00:27:17.019
generators trained on their work, while music publishers have challenged
325
00:27:17.059 --> 00:27:20.259
the alleged use of protected song lyrics. The legal issue
326
00:27:20.519 --> 00:27:24.700
is still unsettled. Technology companies argue that analyzing massive data
327
00:27:24.720 --> 00:27:29.369
sets to teach AI patterns qualifies as fair use. Creators
328
00:27:29.630 --> 00:27:33.170
argue that copying entire works without payment or permission is
329
00:27:33.210 --> 00:27:37.599
industrial scale infringement. Meta's latest lawsuit adds another layer because
330
00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:40.980
a face is neither a novel nor a song. You
331
00:27:41.019 --> 00:27:43.539
can rewrite a book or record another performance, but you
332
00:27:43.579 --> 00:27:47.769
can't replace your biometric identity after a company has converted
333
00:27:47.809 --> 00:27:48.670
it into data.
334
00:27:51.289 --> 00:27:57.980
That's grim, Ted. So, can we trademark our own faces?
335
00:27:58.119 --> 00:28:01.289
Do we have to trademark our own faces? I mean,
336
00:28:01.630 --> 00:28:04.710
I know it's buried in the terms of service. Like
337
00:28:04.970 --> 00:28:07.410
when you agree, you know, occasionally you'll get an email
338
00:28:07.509 --> 00:28:11.269
from Facebook or Instagram or whatever that says an update
339
00:28:11.309 --> 00:28:13.769
to our TOS, click here to view it. And then
340
00:28:13.789 --> 00:28:18.210
it's like 10,000 pages of TOS. I'm sure it's buried
341
00:28:18.269 --> 00:28:20.950
in there that says, we are going to use your
342
00:28:21.470 --> 00:28:23.589
face to train our AI. We're going to use your
343
00:28:23.630 --> 00:28:27.750
baby's face and, As you keep posting your children's faces,
344
00:28:27.829 --> 00:28:31.509
we're going to teach our AI how faces age, how
345
00:28:31.569 --> 00:28:41.410
faces mature, and how children grow. They stealthily include that
346
00:28:41.650 --> 00:28:45.569
in the terms of service, and we unwittingly play along
347
00:28:46.250 --> 00:28:48.670
by continuing to use it. I don't even know that
348
00:28:48.690 --> 00:28:52.650
they offer opt-outs, Ted. I've never seen, because I do look.
349
00:28:52.690 --> 00:28:54.670
I don't read word for word. I mean, I skim.
350
00:28:55.180 --> 00:28:58.289
But what I'm looking for is an opt-out, which is
351
00:28:58.349 --> 00:29:03.670
largely why I don't post zero pictures, but I seldom
352
00:29:03.869 --> 00:29:08.930
post pictures online because I don't consent. I don't want
353
00:29:09.009 --> 00:29:11.829
Meta to have my kids' faces. I don't want to
354
00:29:11.869 --> 00:29:16.670
give them a footprint. I don't want my brand-new baby,
355
00:29:16.849 --> 00:29:20.799
who's been alive for four months— For Mark Zuckerberg to
356
00:29:20.839 --> 00:29:23.799
be scanning all her pictures over the years and seeing
357
00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:28.329
how she ages and whatever. And one, not ask my permission.
358
00:29:28.369 --> 00:29:32.549
And two, we're not being compensated for it. And God
359
00:29:32.569 --> 00:29:35.170
only knows, you know, when the AI overlords take over,
360
00:29:36.150 --> 00:29:39.009
what happens, you know, then what happens when they have
361
00:29:39.130 --> 00:29:42.569
all of our biomechanics? data, what happens when they decide
362
00:29:42.630 --> 00:29:45.670
to zero you out for the, you know, AI space
363
00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:49.559
lasers to beam down and shoot you, you know, in,
364
00:29:49.680 --> 00:29:53.579
in the year 2040, like this, I know it's, it
365
00:29:53.619 --> 00:29:56.160
sounds like I'm making fun and it's wacky, but you know,
366
00:29:56.200 --> 00:30:00.240
if you're listening to what the AI, um, innovators will
367
00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:04.579
say are warning about the the death and destruction of
368
00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:10.099
humanity with ai this isn't a far-fetched idea um and
369
00:30:10.140 --> 00:30:14.670
this is just the you know the tangible argument against
370
00:30:16.650 --> 00:30:21.349
the ai overlords here is your your family pictures this
371
00:30:21.390 --> 00:30:22.990
is something tangible and i think this is a great
372
00:30:23.029 --> 00:30:25.859
thing that california it's rare that i compliment my home
373
00:30:25.880 --> 00:30:29.069
state but um It's a good thing that California is
374
00:30:29.109 --> 00:30:31.089
doing this. And I think more states need to get
375
00:30:31.210 --> 00:30:35.809
on top of this because they are training their data,
376
00:30:36.130 --> 00:30:41.609
or sorry, their AI on your children's faces. There's just
377
00:30:41.630 --> 00:30:47.490
something creepy to me, Ted, about using kids' faces. It's
378
00:30:47.549 --> 00:30:50.119
one thing to use the mom or the dad, the adult, right?
379
00:30:50.859 --> 00:30:55.839
But it's another thing to steal children's faces. There's just
380
00:30:55.859 --> 00:31:00.569
something morally... incompatible to me about, you know, why this
381
00:31:00.619 --> 00:31:02.660
is okay. I don't know. What do you think?
382
00:31:03.289 --> 00:31:07.509
No, I agree with you. I think it's also, I mean, look, honestly,
383
00:31:07.529 --> 00:31:12.609
they shouldn't be using anybody's faces, adults included. You know,
384
00:31:13.589 --> 00:31:18.990
if you do a TV show in Hollywood, you get
385
00:31:19.069 --> 00:31:21.910
separate checks. You get a check for writing an episode.
386
00:31:21.950 --> 00:31:24.690
You get a check for And you get a check
387
00:31:24.710 --> 00:31:27.990
for something called life rights, if it's based on a memoir,
388
00:31:28.069 --> 00:31:30.900
if it's based on your life. And you get, there's
389
00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:33.559
been a lot of litigation that says that you control,
390
00:31:34.500 --> 00:31:38.720
even if you're a public figure, you still get to
391
00:31:38.759 --> 00:31:43.269
control your visual image. Like, for example, people can't, like,
392
00:31:43.410 --> 00:31:49.230
appropriate your face in imagery in ways that are, like, unauthorized.
393
00:31:50.349 --> 00:31:55.200
And so... I think there's a legal basis for challenging this.
394
00:31:56.059 --> 00:32:00.140
I think that people's faces, you don't copyright or trademark
395
00:32:00.180 --> 00:32:03.420
your face, but you do have some legal, courts have
396
00:32:03.519 --> 00:32:06.700
found that you do have the right to control how
397
00:32:06.900 --> 00:32:10.160
the image of your face is used, especially by a
398
00:32:10.339 --> 00:32:17.119
for-profit corporation. And so I think there's probably a place to,
399
00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:22.480
there's probably some kind of legal remedy here that an
400
00:32:22.579 --> 00:32:24.559
enterprising law firm could come up with.
401
00:32:26.059 --> 00:32:26.339
Hmm.
402
00:32:27.529 --> 00:32:31.789
I didn't know. So when these biopics come out about,
403
00:32:31.849 --> 00:32:33.150
I don't know, let's say Elvis Presley.
404
00:32:33.930 --> 00:32:38.970
Well, he's dead. When you're dead, you lose it all. Oh, really? Yeah.
405
00:32:38.990 --> 00:32:40.240
So the estate can't control it?
406
00:32:41.789 --> 00:32:44.609
They can try. I mean, but it's like really hard
407
00:32:44.650 --> 00:32:45.190
at that point.
408
00:32:46.210 --> 00:32:48.569
But so like, let's say they want to do a
409
00:32:48.609 --> 00:32:50.210
Ted Raul biopic. Mm-hmm.
410
00:32:54.220 --> 00:32:57.720
It would be wise for them to probably reach out
411
00:32:57.769 --> 00:33:02.049
and try to negotiate consent because I could tie them
412
00:33:02.089 --> 00:33:02.569
up in court.
413
00:33:04.970 --> 00:33:09.289
Because you are the owner of that face.
414
00:33:09.589 --> 00:33:13.150
I'm a public figure. They can certainly do a Ted
415
00:33:13.190 --> 00:33:15.730
Rall biopic if they want to. I don't know why
416
00:33:15.789 --> 00:33:23.759
they would. But if they did, they would need to... Yeah,
417
00:33:23.970 --> 00:33:26.539
they could use images that had been published and get
418
00:33:26.599 --> 00:33:30.759
permission from the people who published them. But if they
419
00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:35.059
tried to... There's all sorts of contexts in which, for example,
420
00:33:35.099 --> 00:33:38.059
they might not be able to just take a screenshot
421
00:33:38.119 --> 00:33:41.289
from this show and then put it on the poster
422
00:33:42.670 --> 00:33:45.170
for the movie. That kind of thing might not be allowed.
423
00:33:47.130 --> 00:33:50.900
But for... The purpose is that Zuckerberg is using it
424
00:33:51.039 --> 00:33:54.160
for meta. Well, he's scraping your children.
425
00:33:54.180 --> 00:33:55.500
Yeah.
426
00:33:55.539 --> 00:33:57.640
Your children's, your children's faces.
427
00:33:57.720 --> 00:33:59.799
Well, that's, that's, what's going to be determined here. What
428
00:33:59.819 --> 00:34:04.140
this is related to is more similar to all the AI,
429
00:34:04.279 --> 00:34:07.529
all the intellectual property that's been scraped to train AI.
430
00:34:07.750 --> 00:34:07.950
Right.
431
00:34:08.369 --> 00:34:10.349
So is that a copyright violation?
432
00:34:10.409 --> 00:34:10.570
Right.
433
00:34:10.630 --> 00:34:14.869
It's like, it's like, is it by a copyright violation? Not,
434
00:34:15.610 --> 00:34:20.050
not to reprint or republish the, the material, but to
435
00:34:20.329 --> 00:34:23.170
use it in order to train AI. And that's what
436
00:34:23.210 --> 00:34:25.030
the courts have to grapple with now.
437
00:34:25.150 --> 00:34:28.730
AI from which you will then make a profit once
438
00:34:28.789 --> 00:34:30.050
you release your model.
439
00:34:30.489 --> 00:34:30.670
Right.
440
00:34:30.710 --> 00:34:34.050
And like you, you're gonna, it's a, it's a profit tool.
441
00:34:34.320 --> 00:34:37.440
It's not, it's not, we're just training AI for fun
442
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:41.019
at meta. Like we're just experimenting. They're gonna, they're gonna
443
00:34:41.179 --> 00:34:45.559
use it as, as a product to sell. Um, and
444
00:34:45.619 --> 00:34:48.460
incorporate into all their other products. Right. So it's, it's
445
00:34:48.480 --> 00:34:50.739
not free. It's not a pro bono thing. It's even
446
00:34:50.760 --> 00:34:54.480
if it was, I still don't think, um, it's right
447
00:34:54.519 --> 00:34:56.800
that they should have the ability to do this just
448
00:34:56.860 --> 00:35:00.050
because we use their, their platform. Cause that was not
449
00:35:00.090 --> 00:35:04.889
the original, similar to how Rumble did to us. When
450
00:35:04.929 --> 00:35:07.949
we signed up to and agreed to be a content creator,
451
00:35:09.849 --> 00:35:13.909
they promised us one thing. And then two years later, we're,
452
00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:18.360
getting another, you know, a different, it's not the same
453
00:35:18.380 --> 00:35:23.829
promise anymore. Same thing with, with Meta. And now they're like, okay,
454
00:35:23.849 --> 00:35:26.429
we have an AI company, all of your photos that
455
00:35:26.469 --> 00:35:29.650
you're sharing with friends and family across the world. We're,
456
00:35:29.809 --> 00:35:32.369
we're now able to use that because it's included in
457
00:35:32.389 --> 00:35:34.389
the terms of service. You should have read it. Ha ha.
458
00:35:34.889 --> 00:35:39.230
So now I guess we got a route for California
459
00:35:39.250 --> 00:35:43.099
and Illinois to set precedent and, and at the very
460
00:35:43.179 --> 00:35:48.050
least protect children. at the very least if not the
461
00:35:48.090 --> 00:35:50.570
adults too i hope it's all of us but at
462
00:35:50.590 --> 00:35:53.010
the very least i hope it's to protect the the
463
00:35:53.050 --> 00:35:54.809
little kids like you should not be able to scrape
464
00:35:54.869 --> 00:35:59.389
faces of minors like this is it's it's it's just
465
00:35:59.650 --> 00:36:03.929
morally reprehensible to me i just no i agree with
466
00:36:03.969 --> 00:36:09.699
me about that oh yeah besides the legal parts ted
467
00:36:10.010 --> 00:36:12.059
i mean i'm glad you cited the legal stuff i
468
00:36:12.099 --> 00:36:14.949
just want like God, when you think of Mark Zuckerberg,
469
00:36:14.969 --> 00:36:21.869
you're like, dude, you have children. Where do you park
470
00:36:21.909 --> 00:36:25.889
your ethics when you walk into one Facebook way? At
471
00:36:27.179 --> 00:36:29.500
what point do you drop it off on the i5
472
00:36:29.599 --> 00:36:37.820
before you get to the Facebook HQ? He knows full
473
00:36:37.860 --> 00:36:40.760
well just because you can do it doesn't mean you
474
00:36:41.070 --> 00:36:44.139
should do it. And that's the problem here. Again, it's
475
00:36:44.460 --> 00:36:46.639
the same argument that we're having earlier about.
476
00:36:46.659 --> 00:36:50.079
But I'm not sure he can do it, to be honest.
477
00:36:51.280 --> 00:36:51.820
Can do what?
478
00:36:52.300 --> 00:36:58.199
I'm not sure he can legally scrape, without authorization, people's images.
479
00:36:58.219 --> 00:37:00.980
No, no, that's what I'm saying. I'm glad you brought
480
00:37:01.019 --> 00:37:04.780
up the legal point. I'm just saying where in his mind,
481
00:37:05.719 --> 00:37:10.309
as we presume a human and a human father of
482
00:37:10.389 --> 00:37:14.559
human children... Just because he has the ability to do it,
483
00:37:15.570 --> 00:37:16.780
why would he do it?
484
00:37:17.030 --> 00:37:20.440
Well, and why not just pay, right? Like, why not
485
00:37:20.500 --> 00:37:21.179
just pay?
486
00:37:21.199 --> 00:37:22.179
We know why not pay.
487
00:37:22.239 --> 00:37:24.880
We know. Well, they have the money. I mean, my
488
00:37:24.960 --> 00:37:28.119
point is, let's just say you could be like, seriously,
489
00:37:28.360 --> 00:37:32.800
they could have paid like 10 bucks per image of
490
00:37:32.860 --> 00:37:35.639
a kid to the parents and just been like, you know,
491
00:37:35.809 --> 00:37:40.230
do you remember the Nirvana Nevermind album cover case?
492
00:37:40.250 --> 00:37:40.369
Sure.
493
00:37:41.179 --> 00:37:45.199
It's a baby. It's kind of photoshopped to make the
494
00:37:45.219 --> 00:37:48.159
baby look like he's swimming and chasing a dollar bill.
495
00:37:48.400 --> 00:37:52.340
It's a comment on capitalism. The baby grew up and
496
00:37:52.360 --> 00:37:58.130
basically said, I never gave consent for my nude image
497
00:37:58.170 --> 00:38:01.949
to be showed. My parents were okay with it, but
498
00:38:02.050 --> 00:38:07.940
I wasn't. Now I want to be paid. He sued
499
00:38:07.960 --> 00:38:10.929
the record company and the band. I think they had to,
500
00:38:10.989 --> 00:38:14.809
they paid to settle if memory serves, but, but the
501
00:38:14.889 --> 00:38:18.090
point is that like, it reminds me of that sort
502
00:38:18.150 --> 00:38:20.150
of like, okay, so you could have that issue where
503
00:38:20.170 --> 00:38:23.139
it's like the, the kids could be like, well, you know, okay.
504
00:38:23.239 --> 00:38:25.010
Mom and dad didn't have the right to sell my
505
00:38:25.070 --> 00:38:28.059
image when I was six or whatever, but you could
506
00:38:28.199 --> 00:38:31.559
easily at least try like, Hey, offer 20 bucks to
507
00:38:31.800 --> 00:38:35.219
every parent who's willing to sell their kid's photo. They
508
00:38:35.239 --> 00:38:37.300
didn't even try to do that. They just took it.
509
00:38:37.980 --> 00:38:41.000
I suspect just by paying most people would have been
510
00:38:41.039 --> 00:38:42.659
okay with it. You know?
511
00:38:43.099 --> 00:38:43.260
Right.
512
00:38:43.380 --> 00:38:47.469
I think at the very least what Zuckerberg could have
513
00:38:47.530 --> 00:38:51.190
done in, if we're going to enter the realm of
514
00:38:51.590 --> 00:38:57.170
having some remote semblance of ethics is send a plainly
515
00:38:57.210 --> 00:39:01.630
worded email to all the Facebook and Instagram users and say, Hey,
516
00:39:02.429 --> 00:39:07.679
we're going to scrape your images, including your children, to
517
00:39:07.739 --> 00:39:11.599
train our AI. Plain language. That's it. But not even that.
518
00:39:11.980 --> 00:39:16.280
It was done in secret, covertly, and it got discovered,
519
00:39:16.440 --> 00:39:21.489
and now they're getting sued. So that's the story. Bad ethics, Zuckerberg.
520
00:39:21.809 --> 00:39:28.349
Bad. All right.
521
00:39:29.730 --> 00:39:34.739
So, ted this is a story you sent me women
522
00:39:34.780 --> 00:39:38.769
apparently still prefer men who earn more a new dating
523
00:39:38.809 --> 00:39:43.909
survey finds money may not buy love but it apparently
524
00:39:43.989 --> 00:39:48.119
remains part of the job description A survey from AI-driven
525
00:39:48.360 --> 00:39:53.159
matchmaking service, so a dating service called Keeper, it's all
526
00:39:53.179 --> 00:39:57.559
powered by AI. Keeper found that only 11% of women
527
00:39:57.860 --> 00:40:01.710
said their ideal partner can earn less than them. By comparison,
528
00:40:01.710 --> 00:40:06.909
61% of men were comfortable with a lower earning partner.
529
00:40:07.429 --> 00:40:11.590
Put another way, 89% of women still preferred a partner
530
00:40:11.730 --> 00:40:14.559
who earned at least as much as they did, while
531
00:40:14.559 --> 00:40:21.099
39% of men said expressed that preference. The survey covered 9,630
532
00:40:21.099 --> 00:40:28.000
mostly heterosexual keeper users who completed marriage preference questionnaires between
533
00:40:28.039 --> 00:40:31.809
July 1 and September 8. The article lists 6,251 male
534
00:40:31.829 --> 00:40:34.429
and 3,401 female respondents, although those figures total 9,652 rather
535
00:40:34.469 --> 00:40:46.210
than 9,630. So something's wrong there in the math. But
536
00:40:46.429 --> 00:40:50.750
either way, that's what Keeper says. Income changed the answers.
537
00:40:51.030 --> 00:40:53.710
Among women earning less than $ 50, 000 annually, 10% would consider
538
00:40:53.730 --> 00:40:56.429
a lower earning ideal partner. That figure doubled to 20%
539
00:40:56.429 --> 00:40:58.969
among women earning at least $ 250, 000 a year. The pattern
540
00:40:59.489 --> 00:41:01.110
was similar among men. 57% of those earning $ 50, 000 or
541
00:41:01.130 --> 00:41:16.260
less accepted the idea of a partner earning less. Among men,
542
00:41:17.000 --> 00:41:23.159
making at least $ 250, 000, that share rose to 79%. Preferences, however,
543
00:41:23.260 --> 00:41:27.530
were rarely absolute requirements. According to Keeper, only about 1
544
00:41:27.530 --> 00:41:34.130
in 200 users, or that's 0.5%, listed financial expectations as non-negotiable.
545
00:41:34.809 --> 00:41:37.289
Just 1 in 1,000, or 0.1%, specified the exact earnings threshold.
546
00:41:43.269 --> 00:41:46.909
The article also cites a 2023 Pew Research study finding
547
00:41:47.329 --> 00:41:51.280
that wives earning more than their husbands had tripled over
548
00:41:51.340 --> 00:41:55.800
the previous 50 years. Still, 55% of American households had
549
00:41:55.840 --> 00:42:00.699
a male breadwinner compared with 16% led financially by a woman.
550
00:42:01.139 --> 00:42:04.460
Another study cited in the article found that husbands whose
551
00:42:04.539 --> 00:42:08.659
wives supplied at least 70% of household income nearly doubled.
552
00:42:09.099 --> 00:42:11.360
are faced nearly two and a half times the risk
553
00:42:11.539 --> 00:42:17.739
of serious psychological stress. Keeper reports roughly 1.6 million signups
554
00:42:18.260 --> 00:42:21.539
and claims that one in 10 first dates arranged through
555
00:42:21.579 --> 00:42:26.489
their service resulted in marriage. Wow. So money is seldom
556
00:42:26.619 --> 00:42:30.030
an official deal breaker, but when people describe their quote
557
00:42:30.190 --> 00:42:36.730
ideal relationship, the traditional male provider model remains remarkably hard
558
00:42:37.070 --> 00:42:40.590
to get rid of Ted. And I got to look
559
00:42:40.610 --> 00:42:42.659
at this cartoon. Feel free to comment.
560
00:42:42.780 --> 00:42:46.099
Can you put this cartoon up into on the screen?
561
00:42:46.940 --> 00:42:49.320
So I did this cartoon. I did this cartoon a
562
00:42:49.360 --> 00:42:52.599
few weeks ago. It showed up, I guess, two weeks
563
00:42:52.639 --> 00:42:56.250
ago on August 26th on my birthday. And it was
564
00:42:56.489 --> 00:43:01.670
based on some conversations I've personally overheard, as well as
565
00:43:01.710 --> 00:43:07.460
a bunch of stories I've read. about upper-income successful women
566
00:43:07.900 --> 00:43:10.409
who complain that they have a hard time finding, and
567
00:43:10.429 --> 00:43:14.869
I hate this term, quality men. And basically, you know,
568
00:43:14.909 --> 00:43:21.679
it's very imbued, deeply imbued with classism. And, you know,
569
00:43:21.739 --> 00:43:25.610
and basically I got all sorts of pushback. From women
570
00:43:25.659 --> 00:43:29.690
who said, and of course, the usual white knight-like dudes who,
571
00:43:30.110 --> 00:43:33.510
you know, are like, oh, I'm like, I'm total feminist,
572
00:43:33.550 --> 00:43:36.409
you know, and also, please have sex with me. I mean,
573
00:43:36.429 --> 00:43:37.090
as white knights.
574
00:43:37.110 --> 00:43:39.719
The guys that wear the future is female shirt.
575
00:43:39.989 --> 00:43:40.530
Oh, gosh.
576
00:43:40.940 --> 00:43:41.400
Those guys?
577
00:43:41.480 --> 00:43:44.340
May they all die in pain. As my son said,
578
00:43:45.219 --> 00:43:48.000
really wisely, he said, white knights are the worst because
579
00:43:48.019 --> 00:43:51.909
they're wolves in sheep's clothing. Because they literally are just
580
00:43:52.010 --> 00:43:55.730
gross guys who are pretending to be allies, but really
581
00:43:55.789 --> 00:43:59.269
they're just sucking up in order to fool women into
582
00:43:59.309 --> 00:44:04.429
thinking that they're Alan Alda, sensitive new age guys, right?
583
00:44:04.860 --> 00:44:08.599
But anyway, so this cartoon is about that. And basically
584
00:44:08.639 --> 00:44:11.000
it's like two women talking. One says... I beat all
585
00:44:11.019 --> 00:44:12.800
the guys and got into a good college. Then I
586
00:44:12.820 --> 00:44:15.000
beat the dudes and got a good job. Then I
587
00:44:15.039 --> 00:44:17.079
beat all the men all the way up the corporate ladder.
588
00:44:17.099 --> 00:44:20.429
Now I'm lonely. How come? I can't find quality men.
589
00:44:21.010 --> 00:44:25.769
And the whole point here is, okay, so there are
590
00:44:25.809 --> 00:44:28.409
these women who have won. They have done very well
591
00:44:28.449 --> 00:44:29.090
for themselves.
592
00:44:29.849 --> 00:44:30.289
Great.
593
00:44:30.630 --> 00:44:35.289
That's fantastic. Feminism needed to result in that. But, okay,
594
00:44:35.309 --> 00:44:38.769
so now these women... They're like, well, you know, they're
595
00:44:38.789 --> 00:44:42.610
not going to, they still, as this survey shows that
596
00:44:42.650 --> 00:44:46.539
you just read Manila, many of these women, the reason
597
00:44:46.559 --> 00:44:49.739
they can't find quality men is because they want men
598
00:44:49.780 --> 00:44:52.739
who earn, still earn more than they do. Well, here's
599
00:44:52.760 --> 00:44:58.090
the thing, guys, you won. You're rich now. And so
600
00:44:58.469 --> 00:45:01.969
being rich means that most people don't have as much
601
00:45:02.070 --> 00:45:05.210
money as you. And therefore, if you don't want to
602
00:45:05.250 --> 00:45:08.159
be lonely, you're going to have to quote unquote settle
603
00:45:08.449 --> 00:45:10.639
for someone who doesn't have as much money as you
604
00:45:10.940 --> 00:45:15.369
because you know you're rich. And I mean, like Jeff
605
00:45:15.389 --> 00:45:18.789
Bezos didn't, Jeff Bezos didn't think I need a guy,
606
00:45:18.909 --> 00:45:21.829
a lady who earns more than I do. You know,
607
00:45:21.949 --> 00:45:24.530
Elon Musk doesn't think he needs ladies who own, who
608
00:45:24.610 --> 00:45:25.610
earn more than he does.
609
00:45:25.630 --> 00:45:30.130
Those women don't fight Lauren Sanchez for Jeff Bezos, for
610
00:45:30.230 --> 00:45:31.130
Bezos' heart.
611
00:45:31.570 --> 00:45:35.949
For rich, rich people are, you know, rich dudes. I mean,
612
00:45:36.030 --> 00:45:38.570
you know, historically the vast majority of rich people have
613
00:45:38.610 --> 00:45:43.079
been dudes, rich dudes, you know, they kind of understood this. Like, Well,
614
00:45:43.199 --> 00:45:45.639
part of the advantage of being rich is, you know,
615
00:45:45.940 --> 00:45:49.519
I don't really need to split the bill. I can
616
00:45:49.599 --> 00:45:54.179
cover the trip to, you know, to Athens. You know,
617
00:45:54.280 --> 00:45:58.440
I can cover the $ 300 dinner. I've got that. And like,
618
00:45:58.760 --> 00:46:00.929
you can just, all my friends can come along, male
619
00:46:00.969 --> 00:46:06.349
or female. And so that's why this kind of, this whole, like,
620
00:46:07.909 --> 00:46:12.030
This whole mentality, it's not even about being resentful of
621
00:46:12.090 --> 00:46:15.659
these women. That's not it. It's more just like, hey,
622
00:46:15.699 --> 00:46:19.679
ladies who are like this, you're being dumb. Like date,
623
00:46:19.920 --> 00:46:23.250
you know, there's like lots of great working class, blue
624
00:46:23.309 --> 00:46:27.809
collar guys who would love you, adore you, be good
625
00:46:27.829 --> 00:46:32.150
to you, you know, be, do all the things, tick
626
00:46:32.170 --> 00:46:35.090
all the boxes for you. You don't need a guy
627
00:46:35.110 --> 00:46:39.610
with money because, you know, you have money. You're good.
628
00:46:40.230 --> 00:46:43.260
And it was just kind of like, hello, stupid. And
629
00:46:43.360 --> 00:46:45.920
so they but they were all denying this and online
630
00:46:45.940 --> 00:46:49.539
they were saying, oh, it's bullshit. It's not really true. Like,
631
00:46:49.840 --> 00:46:53.239
you know, like like when women say they want quality men,
632
00:46:53.280 --> 00:46:55.239
what they mean is a guy who takes out helps
633
00:46:55.320 --> 00:46:58.679
out with the chores and is an equal partner. And
634
00:46:58.719 --> 00:47:03.099
this poll shows, no, that's bullshit. That's not true. When
635
00:47:03.139 --> 00:47:07.659
women say they want quality men, what they're talking about.
636
00:47:07.679 --> 00:47:08.400
It's a euphemism.
637
00:47:08.659 --> 00:47:13.539
It's a euphemism for class, right? It's classist bullshit. So,
638
00:47:13.969 --> 00:47:14.219
you know.
639
00:47:14.239 --> 00:47:20.530
Well, yeah, because of... Well, Ted, through eons of... I
640
00:47:20.570 --> 00:47:23.309
don't know if it's innate. I mean, who can say
641
00:47:23.329 --> 00:47:26.110
if this is innate or not? But through at least.
642
00:47:27.710 --> 00:47:32.389
Thousands of years of social engineering, because men controlled the money,
643
00:47:32.489 --> 00:47:38.530
because men controlled society, the world, um, they, they had
644
00:47:38.650 --> 00:47:41.820
all the money. So after thousands of years of, of
645
00:47:41.909 --> 00:47:47.119
civilized worlds telling women that, you know, the only way
646
00:47:47.159 --> 00:47:50.699
you can have a secure life is by finding a
647
00:47:50.719 --> 00:47:56.480
man that can provide. Right. But you amplify that by
648
00:47:56.579 --> 00:48:03.809
today's FOMO, Instagram, TikTok lifestyle culture, this is what you get.
649
00:48:04.269 --> 00:48:06.949
This is what you see, the women that you're drawing
650
00:48:06.989 --> 00:48:10.710
about here. And look, I have been a well-to-do woman.
651
00:48:11.110 --> 00:48:13.010
I have been a poor woman, back and forth, back
652
00:48:13.050 --> 00:48:16.079
and forth, because as you know, Ted, that's what journalism.
653
00:48:15.619 --> 00:48:18.380
Does to you. I have been those things, but not
654
00:48:18.420 --> 00:48:22.380
a woman. Although the day's short, you don't know, the
655
00:48:22.500 --> 00:48:23.559
day's young, that could change.
656
00:48:24.409 --> 00:48:26.269
Ted, it's a long life. You never know. You can
657
00:48:26.309 --> 00:48:31.090
come join me on this side. But look, I've been
658
00:48:31.300 --> 00:48:33.030
both of those things. I've been somewhere in the middle.
659
00:48:34.199 --> 00:48:42.260
And income, I know in my cognitive mind, I know
660
00:48:42.360 --> 00:48:47.340
income is not the alpha and the omega. For that
661
00:48:47.519 --> 00:48:50.059
reason was because, you know, in the times where I
662
00:48:50.159 --> 00:48:53.429
wasn't starving, right, were the times where I'm doing pretty good.
663
00:48:54.630 --> 00:48:58.280
I would like somebody more or less in my range.
664
00:48:58.360 --> 00:49:00.679
I don't have to make more than them because there
665
00:49:00.699 --> 00:49:02.480
were times where I was making a lot of money.
666
00:49:03.820 --> 00:49:07.659
But it's just ingrained into women to feel like that
667
00:49:07.739 --> 00:49:11.039
is a sense of security. But when I'm able to
668
00:49:11.079 --> 00:49:14.989
think about it, I didn't need my spouse to be,
669
00:49:15.289 --> 00:49:17.230
or my partner, I guess, in this case, to be
670
00:49:17.250 --> 00:49:21.849
the breadwinner. It Is it helpful when you are like
671
00:49:21.889 --> 00:49:25.349
in my case now, I got laid off two years ago.
672
00:49:25.449 --> 00:49:25.630
Right.
673
00:49:25.670 --> 00:49:29.159
And then health problems and a surprise baby late in life.
674
00:49:31.239 --> 00:49:36.719
Does it help that my husband is the breadwinner? Abso-freaking-lutely. Absolutely. Like,
675
00:49:37.460 --> 00:49:39.449
I mean, you have to tighten the purse strings and stuff. Sure.
676
00:49:40.039 --> 00:49:47.059
But his income was not relevant to us dating or
677
00:49:47.079 --> 00:49:52.280
getting married. Was he smart?
678
00:49:52.400 --> 00:49:52.659
Sure.
679
00:49:52.820 --> 00:49:58.429
Was he a beefcake? Yes. He made me laugh. That
680
00:49:58.469 --> 00:50:00.610
was enough for me. He had a steady job. That
681
00:50:00.650 --> 00:50:03.110
was enough for me. Because at the time, I was
682
00:50:03.150 --> 00:50:06.530
making a lot of money. So it didn't matter to me.
683
00:50:07.309 --> 00:50:10.969
He had a steady job. And he was smart and
684
00:50:11.030 --> 00:50:15.590
hunky and made me laugh. And things clicked. That was
685
00:50:15.710 --> 00:50:17.869
all that was relevant to me. I've dated rich men.
686
00:50:17.969 --> 00:50:20.050
I've dated poor men. I mean, and by rich, I
687
00:50:20.090 --> 00:50:28.329
mean very, very, very rich. Like helicopters over, you know,
688
00:50:29.050 --> 00:50:33.550
from Nice into Monte Carlo, right? Like staying in Villa.
689
00:50:33.610 --> 00:50:37.789
I mean, that kind of rich. And that still didn't...
690
00:50:39.530 --> 00:50:41.429
It's not the alpha and not the omega. Like I said,
691
00:50:41.989 --> 00:50:45.429
for women that have their own, they need to consider that.
692
00:50:45.949 --> 00:50:49.590
You know, that if you have your own and the
693
00:50:49.710 --> 00:50:52.570
only next step up is somebody that's going to, you know,
694
00:50:52.630 --> 00:50:56.119
transport you by helicopter from going from one vacation spot
695
00:50:56.179 --> 00:51:02.280
in Nice down to Monaco by helicopter, you're talking about
696
00:51:02.340 --> 00:51:06.059
a thin sliver of men. And even still, you might
697
00:51:06.119 --> 00:51:13.519
find it empty, as I did. So like, but sure.
698
00:51:13.739 --> 00:51:15.079
Do they need to have a stable job?
699
00:51:15.440 --> 00:51:15.679
Sure.
700
00:51:15.780 --> 00:51:19.360
But these women in the upper echelon, I know plenty
701
00:51:19.380 --> 00:51:21.679
of them, Ted. I know plenty of these women that
702
00:51:22.719 --> 00:51:27.889
I can't find quality men. You're not looking in the
703
00:51:27.929 --> 00:51:28.750
right place, sweetheart.
704
00:51:29.150 --> 00:51:29.369
Yeah.
705
00:51:29.710 --> 00:51:29.909
Yeah.
706
00:51:30.190 --> 00:51:32.730
And it's like, also, I hate that term. Could you
707
00:51:32.789 --> 00:51:37.090
imagine if guys use the term quality woman?
708
00:51:38.690 --> 00:51:39.449
They do, though.
709
00:51:39.769 --> 00:51:42.989
I've never heard that. Do they? I'm not saying they don't.
710
00:51:43.010 --> 00:51:44.429
Yeah, I would say. Really?
711
00:51:44.469 --> 00:51:45.570
That term? Really?
712
00:51:45.929 --> 00:51:49.670
Yeah, yeah. Today. I would say today. It's actually very,
713
00:51:49.730 --> 00:51:54.070
very prevalent in like the youngest of the millennials into
714
00:51:54.369 --> 00:52:00.550
the eldest of the Zs. They they because remember, nowadays,
715
00:52:00.630 --> 00:52:02.550
it's the men who want to get married. The young
716
00:52:02.590 --> 00:52:05.250
men want to get married. And I hear them saying
717
00:52:05.269 --> 00:52:08.360
they can't find a quality woman. And by their definition
718
00:52:08.380 --> 00:52:11.500
of quality woman, they're talking about not only does she
719
00:52:11.559 --> 00:52:13.699
have to have it all right, like have at least
720
00:52:13.739 --> 00:52:16.070
a steady job. She has to be smart. She has
721
00:52:16.090 --> 00:52:17.690
to be all these things. But she also has to
722
00:52:17.730 --> 00:52:21.989
have the ability to be a trad wife also. That's
723
00:52:22.289 --> 00:52:23.849
she has to have she's all the things.
724
00:52:25.489 --> 00:52:27.289
All the things i don't know i mean i just
725
00:52:27.329 --> 00:52:30.309
never heard the term quality woman i mean.
726
00:52:30.130 --> 00:52:33.159
No it's a thing the young men are saying that
727
00:52:33.199 --> 00:52:34.849
now really i just.
728
00:52:34.659 --> 00:52:36.969
Don't like it well i i hate it both terms
729
00:52:37.010 --> 00:52:39.900
i mean because it's like the implication is that there
730
00:52:39.920 --> 00:52:44.900
are people who are who are low quality like basically
731
00:52:44.940 --> 00:52:49.219
it's like assessing um commodifying human beings like they're like
732
00:52:49.280 --> 00:52:53.550
they're a uh like a model of car or like,
733
00:52:53.570 --> 00:52:57.809
you know, any kind of consumer product. I mean, it's depressing.
734
00:52:58.670 --> 00:53:01.269
No, it has to be like a car. Some people
735
00:53:01.349 --> 00:53:01.929
do suck.
736
00:53:03.590 --> 00:53:05.039
I mean, there are some people who don't work.
737
00:53:05.099 --> 00:53:07.460
There are some people who are drugs or druggies. There
738
00:53:07.480 --> 00:53:10.659
are people who are alcoholics. There are people who are grifters.
739
00:53:10.719 --> 00:53:14.239
There are people who will just, who are leeches and
740
00:53:14.280 --> 00:53:16.340
will just latch on and just suck you dry. But
741
00:53:16.360 --> 00:53:18.090
that's not a quality person. It doesn't matter.
742
00:53:18.130 --> 00:53:22.460
That's true. That's true, Robbie. And look, my, my early,
743
00:53:23.239 --> 00:53:25.559
so my, my, as you guys know, if you guys
744
00:53:25.579 --> 00:53:27.900
have listened for any amount of time, you guys know
745
00:53:28.000 --> 00:53:31.530
my early formative young woman years were spent stomping the
746
00:53:31.590 --> 00:53:36.750
car lot. And it really helped form and shape my
747
00:53:36.789 --> 00:53:40.090
opinion of the world and how people are. And I mean,
748
00:53:40.110 --> 00:53:43.050
I'm seeing people's credit scores. I'm seeing their pay stubs.
749
00:53:43.110 --> 00:53:46.239
I'm seeing like I'm seeing humanity, right? Like a car,
750
00:53:46.320 --> 00:53:51.010
especially in LA, like nobody walks in LA, right? Ted,
751
00:53:51.489 --> 00:53:57.969
everybody needs a car. Everybody needs a car. So I really,
752
00:53:58.510 --> 00:54:01.960
I got to see the humanity in its purest form
753
00:54:02.000 --> 00:54:06.739
when they're in need. Right. And it, it really shaped
754
00:54:06.780 --> 00:54:10.960
my opinion about my analogies for the world. And to
755
00:54:11.019 --> 00:54:11.679
Robbie's point.
756
00:54:12.119 --> 00:54:12.489
Yeah.
757
00:54:12.610 --> 00:54:16.039
Like, A quality car, I don't need it to have
758
00:54:16.199 --> 00:54:21.760
a Mercedes badge, right? A quality car is a car
759
00:54:21.780 --> 00:54:25.280
that you can rely on, that's easy to fix, and
760
00:54:25.300 --> 00:54:27.019
you can do it yourself if you need to. You
761
00:54:27.059 --> 00:54:28.840
don't need to go to a mechanic and spend a
762
00:54:28.880 --> 00:54:32.570
gajillion dollars with some fancy machines to plug it up.
763
00:54:33.039 --> 00:54:35.360
You can fix it yourself. You can change your own oil.
764
00:54:35.400 --> 00:54:38.719
You can do whatever. A quality car means it's reliable.
765
00:54:39.420 --> 00:54:43.639
It's a fair price. It's... It's going to turn on
766
00:54:43.800 --> 00:54:50.340
in the Montana winter and survive a California Mojave Desert drive.
767
00:54:51.400 --> 00:54:56.050
It's going to suit your needs, right? It's going to
768
00:54:56.909 --> 00:54:58.829
climb the mountains for you. It's going to take you
769
00:54:58.849 --> 00:55:00.690
to the beach. It's going to do all those things.
770
00:55:01.030 --> 00:55:03.010
That's what you need. You don't need to have a
771
00:55:03.150 --> 00:55:07.530
Mercedes badge on it. You don't need a Rolls-Royce badge
772
00:55:07.659 --> 00:55:10.760
on it. If you do, you're superficial, and when you
773
00:55:10.800 --> 00:55:14.960
apply these, life lessons to humans, you really should look
774
00:55:14.980 --> 00:55:18.389
at your car. If you're looking for a car for
775
00:55:18.429 --> 00:55:22.050
vanity and you're doing that with a spouse, then of
776
00:55:22.150 --> 00:55:24.309
course you can't find quality men or women.
777
00:55:24.849 --> 00:55:27.550
I don't think so. I think you're making it a
778
00:55:27.949 --> 00:55:30.190
lot more commercial needs to be. And here's what I
779
00:55:30.190 --> 00:55:33.730
mean by that. For example, you laid out the case perfectly.
780
00:55:34.800 --> 00:55:37.579
Your husband, he's a friend of mine. I know him.
781
00:55:38.559 --> 00:55:41.809
When you were sick, he took care of you. When
782
00:55:41.889 --> 00:55:44.530
you're pregnant, he took care of you. When you lost
783
00:55:44.570 --> 00:55:48.550
your job, he took care of you. Reliable. Well, on
784
00:55:48.570 --> 00:55:50.630
the flip side, when he was at his lowest, you
785
00:55:50.650 --> 00:55:53.280
were there for him. You took care of him. You
786
00:55:53.300 --> 00:55:54.820
made a home for him. You nurtured him.
787
00:55:56.500 --> 00:55:57.420
It's okay.
788
00:55:57.579 --> 00:56:01.360
If you're going to have this stupid term, quality person,
789
00:56:01.980 --> 00:56:05.659
what that means is that your partner doesn't cheat on
790
00:56:05.699 --> 00:56:07.739
you and is there for you in the good times
791
00:56:07.780 --> 00:56:11.599
and the bad times. The paycheck doesn't matter. That's the
792
00:56:11.619 --> 00:56:15.559
whole thing. And what is it? Feminism teaches that women
793
00:56:15.820 --> 00:56:19.900
must pursue the power of the almighty dollar because men
794
00:56:19.940 --> 00:56:22.860
have had it so good and dominated women for 6,000
795
00:56:22.860 --> 00:56:25.460
years of human history. Let's just unpack the 6,000 years
796
00:56:25.500 --> 00:56:28.179
of human history. Who is it that fights the wars
797
00:56:28.239 --> 00:56:30.639
for you? Who is it that takes care of you
798
00:56:30.679 --> 00:56:35.110
whenever you're pregnant, whenever you can't, during these six millennia
799
00:56:35.150 --> 00:56:35.590
of history?
800
00:56:36.309 --> 00:56:37.369
Who built the shelters?
801
00:56:37.969 --> 00:56:40.929
No, who did the dirty jobs? Who's the one that
802
00:56:40.989 --> 00:56:49.050
kept you alive? So with the perks of being a man,
803
00:56:49.130 --> 00:56:53.380
there were an awful lot of problems that women were
804
00:56:53.400 --> 00:56:55.739
not asked to deal with. Like women were not asked
805
00:56:55.900 --> 00:57:00.239
to join the Roman legions. They didn't fight in the phalanxes.
806
00:57:00.800 --> 00:57:05.269
There's reasons for that. And I think that women need
807
00:57:05.309 --> 00:57:09.110
to realize that men are not your enemies. And men
808
00:57:09.150 --> 00:57:13.150
need to realize it's okay to get married to that woman,
809
00:57:13.269 --> 00:57:16.789
and you don't need to make yourself a six-figure salary.
810
00:57:17.690 --> 00:57:20.469
If you're able to provide for your family working at Walmart,
811
00:57:22.010 --> 00:57:24.269
then good on you. That's all that you need, and
812
00:57:24.309 --> 00:57:27.190
society can go hang itself. And women, y'all need to
813
00:57:27.230 --> 00:57:29.949
get the hell off of the bench, because if you're
814
00:57:29.969 --> 00:57:32.469
going to keep punching down like this, eventually the guys
815
00:57:32.489 --> 00:57:34.230
aren't going to be there. And when the barbarians come
816
00:57:34.269 --> 00:57:36.929
over the wall, who's going to save you? It won't
817
00:57:36.969 --> 00:57:37.409
be the guys.
818
00:57:40.079 --> 00:57:41.619
Well, just ask the Ukrainians.
819
00:57:42.449 --> 00:57:44.409
Oh! Well, I mean, they're getting drafted now.
820
00:57:45.179 --> 00:57:45.909
That's what I'm saying.
821
00:57:46.250 --> 00:57:49.489
Yeah, I mean, it's insane. So how's that feminism working
822
00:57:49.530 --> 00:57:51.250
out for you? I know you have plunging birth rates.
823
00:57:52.170 --> 00:57:55.949
For the first time in recorded history, there's going to
824
00:57:55.969 --> 00:57:58.769
be fewer people born than ever before. I know.
825
00:57:58.949 --> 00:57:59.380
I know it.
826
00:57:59.389 --> 00:58:01.690
I mean, it's total suicide.
827
00:58:02.130 --> 00:58:03.769
So how's that feminism working out for you?
828
00:58:04.449 --> 00:58:06.309
If ever there was a place to look at and
829
00:58:06.349 --> 00:58:10.110
be like, hey, this is, you know, when you swing
830
00:58:10.190 --> 00:58:13.690
feminism too far the other way, look at Ukraine. That's
831
00:58:13.710 --> 00:58:17.429
what's happened. So now you're suddenly objecting to girls going
832
00:58:17.449 --> 00:58:22.090
to fight at the front. Or grandmas, babushkas at this point.
833
00:58:22.239 --> 00:58:25.199
I mean, look, there's also an aspect to this story
834
00:58:25.239 --> 00:58:27.420
that I think, you know, we don't want to lose,
835
00:58:28.099 --> 00:58:31.960
which is that people are, is that, you know, the
836
00:58:32.000 --> 00:58:37.739
detachment between identity politics and class analysis is, I mean,
837
00:58:38.420 --> 00:58:43.000
it's like there is so much of that going on now.
838
00:58:43.460 --> 00:58:45.590
And like, you know, a lot of the, it's kind
839
00:58:45.610 --> 00:58:50.070
of like we saw with the death and reassessment of
840
00:58:50.110 --> 00:58:53.010
the life of Gloria Steinem last week, you know, and
841
00:58:53.050 --> 00:58:56.530
we know that she worked for the CIA and basically
842
00:58:56.590 --> 00:59:01.199
helped kick like leftists out of the feminist movement and basically,
843
00:59:01.619 --> 00:59:05.050
you know, made, tried to make feminism more of like a,
844
00:59:06.079 --> 00:59:09.969
You know, something more for like upscale, you know, upper class.
845
00:59:10.280 --> 00:59:13.900
white women than for like normal working class people and
846
00:59:13.940 --> 00:59:19.800
people of color. This was a huge problem, right? This
847
00:59:19.840 --> 00:59:26.340
was a, and, and like, This is the ultimate embodiment
848
00:59:26.800 --> 00:59:30.099
of it where it's like you literally have women who
849
00:59:30.679 --> 00:59:36.960
have achieved the American dream against the odds and they
850
00:59:37.019 --> 00:59:41.570
don't know how to celebrate their victory by finding someone
851
00:59:41.590 --> 00:59:46.010
to share their lives with because of these old patriarchal
852
00:59:46.110 --> 00:59:49.050
ideas that the man should earn as much or more
853
00:59:49.130 --> 00:59:54.880
than the wife. It's just Yeah, I mean, this is
854
00:59:55.000 --> 01:00:01.219
what happens when you detach identity struggle from class analysis.
855
01:00:01.500 --> 01:00:03.320
Once you do that, things get fucked up.
856
01:00:04.050 --> 01:00:06.909
The other point in the article was that in the
857
01:00:07.550 --> 01:00:12.730
few households that they surveyed through Pew, where the women
858
01:00:13.050 --> 01:00:17.329
earned more, out-earned their spouses, that the men had some
859
01:00:17.369 --> 01:00:21.530
kind of psychological or emotional distress because of it. the
860
01:00:21.590 --> 01:00:23.329
vast majority of them. I think it said like two
861
01:00:23.369 --> 01:00:25.969
thirds or something. And I just want to give a
862
01:00:25.989 --> 01:00:30.719
shout out to Makedan, our viewer in Australia, our Aussie friend.
863
01:00:31.179 --> 01:00:34.159
Thank you for the donation. Makedan says, you have to
864
01:00:34.219 --> 01:00:36.260
have two out of three or just a lot of money.
865
01:00:36.360 --> 01:00:41.440
So money, charm, or looks. That's fair. And of course,
866
01:00:41.500 --> 01:00:45.070
our resident scientist, JDC, says, I tell my wife all
867
01:00:45.110 --> 01:00:48.449
the time that I saw doctor on her door and
868
01:00:48.469 --> 01:00:51.250
I thought, score, I'm gonna seduce this bitch and live
869
01:00:51.289 --> 01:00:53.710
the good life. Turned out she was a DVM, not
870
01:00:53.750 --> 01:01:01.079
an MD. Yes, but yeah, to that little portion of
871
01:01:01.119 --> 01:01:04.760
the article, but you men have a hard time with
872
01:01:04.840 --> 01:01:05.340
it too, Ted.
873
01:01:06.239 --> 01:01:10.159
Oh, well, but that's like, what do you mean? Please
874
01:01:10.179 --> 01:01:10.710
be specific.
875
01:01:11.280 --> 01:01:14.019
It said it said that when the women out earn
876
01:01:14.039 --> 01:01:18.400
that when women the women are the breadwinner. Yeah. Not
877
01:01:18.440 --> 01:01:22.510
from the keeper survey from the Pew survey. Pew surveyed
878
01:01:23.010 --> 01:01:26.590
like all couples, like all people, men, women, single, dating, whatever.
879
01:01:26.949 --> 01:01:30.789
And in the households that that had the female breadwinner,
880
01:01:30.809 --> 01:01:35.889
the men specifically, it's they felt anxiety.
881
01:01:36.619 --> 01:01:37.239
Two thirds.
882
01:01:37.300 --> 01:01:39.630
They were, yeah, felt psychological stress over it.
883
01:01:39.679 --> 01:01:42.170
Okay. But the thing is they're not, unfortunately we don't
884
01:01:42.230 --> 01:01:45.409
know what the cause of the psychological stress is here.
885
01:01:45.889 --> 01:01:48.530
I mean, is it insecurity? It's just like, oh, I
886
01:01:48.550 --> 01:01:51.050
should earn more than my wife or are their wives
887
01:01:51.090 --> 01:01:54.199
giving them a hard time for not earning as much as,
888
01:01:54.480 --> 01:01:56.519
as they do. I mean, we just don't know the cause.
889
01:01:57.239 --> 01:01:59.519
I would suspect it's probably like there's a bell curve
890
01:01:59.559 --> 01:02:03.139
there and it's probably a little bit of both. But it's,
891
01:02:03.760 --> 01:02:07.769
it's really kind of like, I mean, It's not surprising
892
01:02:07.829 --> 01:02:13.400
that men have bought into traditional gender role stereotype bullshit.
893
01:02:13.960 --> 01:02:18.679
I mean, we still live under patriarchy. What I don't
894
01:02:18.880 --> 01:02:24.849
understand is why successful upscale women would buy into that
895
01:02:24.969 --> 01:02:27.489
same stupid system that was trying to keep them down.
896
01:02:28.570 --> 01:02:34.260
Right. That's what I'm saying. It's ingrained. Thousands and thousands
897
01:02:34.300 --> 01:02:39.090
of years ago, ingrained into our society all around the world,
898
01:02:39.610 --> 01:02:42.239
all around the world. So ladies. All right.
899
01:02:42.260 --> 01:02:44.000
We got to wrap it soon. We got to go.
900
01:02:44.019 --> 01:02:44.960
We got to move on.
901
01:02:45.300 --> 01:02:45.539
One more.
902
01:02:46.260 --> 01:02:51.840
That's what she said. All right.
903
01:02:51.860 --> 01:02:55.449
A passenger on American airlines apparently decided that the seatbelt
904
01:02:55.550 --> 01:02:59.610
sign was the only rule to follow. Law enforcement officers
905
01:03:00.469 --> 01:03:05.659
greeted flight 1779 at Miami international and after a lady
906
01:03:05.760 --> 01:03:09.889
allegedly removed all of her clothing and then engaged in
907
01:03:10.050 --> 01:03:15.690
unspecified indecent acts in front of other passengers. The Airbus
908
01:03:15.789 --> 01:03:20.610
A319 left Baltimore Washington International Airport about two hours late,
909
01:03:21.530 --> 01:03:23.929
which might make a lot of people decide to strip naked,
910
01:03:24.389 --> 01:03:27.480
and was headed to Miami when flight attendants reported a
911
01:03:27.519 --> 01:03:32.860
disturbance involving the woman in 9D. Crew members contacted the
912
01:03:32.900 --> 01:03:37.480
cockpit through the plane's digital communication system and requested the police.
913
01:03:37.960 --> 01:03:43.789
The aircraft continued on to Miami without diversion, landed at 11.23 p.m.
914
01:03:44.369 --> 01:03:49.210
Officers were waiting and took the naked passenger into custody.
915
01:03:49.670 --> 01:03:53.210
She has not been identified. They have not disclosed possible
916
01:03:53.250 --> 01:03:57.610
charges or explained what the crew did to manage the situation.
917
01:03:58.710 --> 01:04:02.090
Since COVID, airlines have faced a sharp increase in freaked
918
01:04:02.170 --> 01:04:06.690
out passengers, with some treating commercial aircraft as bars, bedrooms,
919
01:04:07.070 --> 01:04:11.639
boxing rinks, and occasionally psychiatric waiting rooms. The FAA recorded
920
01:04:11.920 --> 01:04:16.320
almost 6,000 unruly passenger reports in 2021. That's the biggest
921
01:04:16.360 --> 01:04:22.250
on record. Of those, 4,300 involved There's disputes over masks. Well,
922
01:04:22.369 --> 01:04:24.789
we're not going to have that anymore. Reports later fell
923
01:04:24.829 --> 01:04:29.460
more than 80%, but the FAA says that recent increases
924
01:04:29.500 --> 01:04:33.320
show there's still a problem. Interfering with a crew member
925
01:04:33.820 --> 01:04:36.559
can cause you to be prosecuted, and you might have
926
01:04:36.579 --> 01:04:40.659
to pay as much as $ 44, 000 each time you do something.
927
01:04:41.840 --> 01:04:46.130
In 2023, a United passenger tried to open an emergency
928
01:04:46.170 --> 01:04:50.500
door before attacking a flight attendant. with a broken metal spoon.
929
01:04:51.039 --> 01:04:54.300
He got 26 months in prison and a five-year ban
930
01:04:54.340 --> 01:04:55.610
from commercial aviation.
931
01:04:56.150 --> 01:04:56.849
Only five!
932
01:04:57.789 --> 01:05:02.650
In 2024, an American flight diverted after a passenger exposed
933
01:05:02.690 --> 01:05:06.630
himself and peed in the aisle. Maybe the bathroom was locked.
934
01:05:07.070 --> 01:05:11.260
The same year, a Virgin Australia flight turned around after
935
01:05:11.300 --> 01:05:14.480
a naked dude ran through the cabin and knocked over
936
01:05:14.539 --> 01:05:16.619
a crew member. Knocking over the crew member seems like
937
01:05:16.659 --> 01:05:20.650
the least of the problems. Um, but yeah, so people be,
938
01:05:20.670 --> 01:05:22.630
be losing their minds in the friendly skies.
939
01:05:23.409 --> 01:05:26.969
Okay. But running naked, is that really worth turning the
940
01:05:27.030 --> 01:05:30.679
flight around? Like I'm turning this, if you don't put
941
01:05:30.719 --> 01:05:33.619
your clothes back on Bobby, I'm turning this car around
942
01:05:33.960 --> 01:05:34.639
and going home.
943
01:05:34.940 --> 01:05:35.219
Yeah.
944
01:05:35.260 --> 01:05:35.500
Mr.
945
01:05:35.539 --> 01:05:36.079
Naked man.
946
01:05:36.920 --> 01:05:41.230
Like, yeah, I mean, naked. Yeah.
947
01:05:41.469 --> 01:05:44.650
It's not good, but it's not, it's not really that
948
01:05:44.690 --> 01:05:45.590
big a deal really.
949
01:05:45.690 --> 01:05:49.969
Yeah. Like, But like this naked woman, and this is
950
01:05:50.010 --> 01:05:51.750
in my neck of the woods, right? Like she was
951
01:05:51.769 --> 01:05:54.340
flying out of BWI, I guess, and going to Miami.
952
01:05:56.960 --> 01:06:00.300
You know, people go to Miami, Ted. That's not... They do.
953
01:06:00.320 --> 01:06:03.840
They're usually going to party, right? Like they're... I mean,
954
01:06:03.880 --> 01:06:07.989
some people live there, sure. There's legitimate reasons. But I'll
955
01:06:08.030 --> 01:06:10.889
tell you this because I've done it from here because
956
01:06:10.929 --> 01:06:13.230
I have business purposes to have to go to Miami.
957
01:06:14.449 --> 01:06:20.909
Generally speaking... there at BWI, when you're flying from BWI
958
01:06:21.429 --> 01:06:25.010
to Miami, it's a short hop flight. Like it's, it's
959
01:06:25.050 --> 01:06:29.309
you're up and then you're down. Right. Um, half the
960
01:06:29.369 --> 01:06:32.469
flight are like people, normal people. The other half of
961
01:06:32.489 --> 01:06:35.050
the flight are people going down to party.
962
01:06:35.630 --> 01:06:36.329
Yeah, of course.
963
01:06:37.110 --> 01:06:44.860
For the weekend. So I'm curious as to perhaps what
964
01:06:45.050 --> 01:06:50.510
sort of, um, alcoholic beverages this woman may have had.
965
01:06:50.710 --> 01:06:51.230
What others?
966
01:06:51.349 --> 01:06:54.449
I would imagine there was at least one involved.
967
01:06:55.130 --> 01:06:58.710
Party enhancements that she might have had.
968
01:06:59.010 --> 01:06:59.909
Good question, yeah.
969
01:07:00.130 --> 01:07:05.469
Planning to go to Miami. And the report wanted to
970
01:07:05.530 --> 01:07:08.090
be vague because they want to keep us family friendly, Ted.
971
01:07:09.030 --> 01:07:14.090
They didn't specify what sort of indecent acts she was doing.
972
01:07:14.559 --> 01:07:18.880
Well, she might've been watching like terrible movies.
973
01:07:20.280 --> 01:07:25.159
So indecent. I mean, I'm, I'm curious to know the details.
974
01:07:25.219 --> 01:07:30.550
The police won't release the details. Um, and nine D
975
01:07:30.550 --> 01:07:33.369
doesn't that put her squarely like in business class, maybe
976
01:07:33.429 --> 01:07:33.969
first class.
977
01:07:34.030 --> 01:07:36.110
Nah, not, not at all.
978
01:07:36.630 --> 01:07:37.489
Are you kidding?
979
01:07:37.570 --> 01:07:41.590
Yeah. I mean like on an, on a midsize plane. No,
980
01:07:41.610 --> 01:07:44.090
you could easily be, that could easily be a, uh,
981
01:07:45.820 --> 01:07:48.190
That's at the front of Coach, admittedly, but yeah.
982
01:07:49.670 --> 01:07:51.510
Oh, okay. Well, I was going to say, if she
983
01:07:51.530 --> 01:07:53.730
was in business class, like, hmm, she was on the
984
01:07:53.769 --> 01:07:54.230
good stuff.
985
01:07:57.010 --> 01:07:58.929
Yeah, no, that's true. No, I don't think she would
986
01:07:58.949 --> 01:08:00.130
have done that in business class.
987
01:08:00.150 --> 01:08:02.190
I mean, typically.
988
01:08:02.210 --> 01:08:04.210
All right, all right. To be honest, I'm going to
989
01:08:04.269 --> 01:08:06.429
just say, and I have no, I mean, I have
990
01:08:06.510 --> 01:08:08.980
reason to suspect this, but it's not like I know
991
01:08:09.019 --> 01:08:14.840
anything about her. I bet we're talking bath salts. Because Florida?
992
01:08:14.860 --> 01:08:14.940
Yeah.
993
01:08:15.380 --> 01:08:20.960
Yeah, because Florida. And also, so apparently bath salts cause
994
01:08:21.939 --> 01:08:27.279
your body to overheat. And so victims often feel overwhelmingly
995
01:08:27.720 --> 01:08:31.300
urged to strip down because they're so overheated, their body's
996
01:08:31.479 --> 01:08:35.680
burning up. And so there's all sorts of reports of Floridian,
997
01:08:35.920 --> 01:08:39.859
like bath salts, overdose victims running around naked in the streets.
998
01:08:43.210 --> 01:08:47.020
Because they're like, they're just, It's like they're going through menopause.
999
01:08:47.060 --> 01:08:47.399
They're like.
1000
01:08:48.119 --> 01:08:51.649
Yeah. Yeah. Basically, they're having hot flashes to the nth degree.
1001
01:08:51.699 --> 01:08:52.739
So they lose their minds.
1002
01:08:53.869 --> 01:08:54.529
Interesting.
1003
01:08:55.060 --> 01:08:59.899
I bet it's a bath salt situation. And that's why
1004
01:08:59.920 --> 01:09:02.880
she was acting crazy, too. They act crazy.
1005
01:09:03.039 --> 01:09:06.779
They won't tell the media what the details are surrounding
1006
01:09:06.819 --> 01:09:11.090
this particular woman, which is weird because usually in these
1007
01:09:11.550 --> 01:09:16.170
bad-behaved passenger stories, you get details and you get video.
1008
01:09:16.649 --> 01:09:19.189
None of that is out. There was a guy recently...
1009
01:09:19.500 --> 01:09:22.819
Did you see the guy recently on another domestic flight?
1010
01:09:23.619 --> 01:09:26.579
I don't know what was happening with the dude, but
1011
01:09:26.619 --> 01:09:31.619
I saw the video that the crew and passengers.
1012
01:09:32.649 --> 01:09:33.350
Oh yeah.
1013
01:09:33.890 --> 01:09:37.010
Masking or he was like a realtor, right? I don't know.
1014
01:09:37.069 --> 01:09:39.529
I don't remember, but I just saw the video and he, they,
1015
01:09:39.810 --> 01:09:41.909
they duct taped him to the seat.
1016
01:09:41.970 --> 01:09:44.909
Like his arms were like a Kimbo, like, like even
1017
01:09:44.930 --> 01:09:48.140
like around his head. And you know, that's not going
1018
01:09:48.159 --> 01:09:49.420
to feel good when it comes off.
1019
01:09:51.720 --> 01:09:55.090
So I, I feel like we're, we're seeing more and
1020
01:09:55.149 --> 01:09:57.569
more and more of this. So look, I'm going to,
1021
01:09:57.609 --> 01:10:02.949
I'm going to get a little more, more logical about
1022
01:10:03.010 --> 01:10:06.630
this and maybe, you know, veer into the world of
1023
01:10:06.869 --> 01:10:09.060
psychology here a little bit. Do you remember a few
1024
01:10:09.100 --> 01:10:13.140
months ago, we did a story about the transpo secretary,
1025
01:10:13.199 --> 01:10:18.380
Sean Duffy suggesting that, to people online that he's tired
1026
01:10:18.420 --> 01:10:21.199
of seeing people go to the airport in their pajamas and,
1027
01:10:21.420 --> 01:10:25.119
you know, and sweatpants and flip flops and whatever. He's
1028
01:10:25.140 --> 01:10:28.189
like travel, you know, it used to be a privilege
1029
01:10:28.229 --> 01:10:30.930
and people used to wear suits and ties and dresses.
1030
01:10:32.270 --> 01:10:35.210
It also wasn't a miserable experience.
1031
01:10:35.270 --> 01:10:39.210
Right. He's like, let's bring that grandeur back to travel.
1032
01:10:39.270 --> 01:10:42.050
But I mean, I'm all for it. Yeah, I'm sure.
1033
01:10:42.109 --> 01:10:45.250
So he was, he was saying that, right. To his,
1034
01:10:45.369 --> 01:10:47.289
I don't, I'm, I'm one of these.
1035
01:10:47.310 --> 01:10:49.949
My mom wore white gloves in the 60s when she flew.
1036
01:10:50.510 --> 01:10:53.649
How beautiful. I mean, that was then. This is now, Ted.
1037
01:10:54.170 --> 01:10:58.100
We're in my, you know, my Ugg boots, my Hello
1038
01:10:58.159 --> 01:11:01.760
Kitty pajama pants, and a hoodie. That is how this
1039
01:11:01.840 --> 01:11:02.659
manila travels.
1040
01:11:02.840 --> 01:11:03.979
You're dressing for comfort.
1041
01:11:04.020 --> 01:11:04.279
Yeah.
1042
01:11:04.439 --> 01:11:05.180
Not for speed.
1043
01:11:05.220 --> 01:11:08.479
I'm going to be stuck for God knows how long, wherever. Right.
1044
01:11:08.699 --> 01:11:08.970
Sure. I'm.
1045
01:11:09.760 --> 01:11:12.060
No, I'm not trying to look elegant going through TSA
1046
01:11:12.340 --> 01:11:16.760
before you credit card swipe my front and my back. Right, totally. No,
1047
01:11:17.000 --> 01:11:20.199
I'm not going to dress in a beautiful Oscar gown
1048
01:11:20.600 --> 01:11:26.869
to go through TSA. But to Sean Duffy's defense, there
1049
01:11:26.930 --> 01:11:30.010
is a psychological reason for that. And we all know
1050
01:11:30.050 --> 01:11:32.949
I'm qualified for this with my minor in psychology, Ted.
1051
01:11:33.409 --> 01:11:38.170
Of course. That would make you fully qualified.
1052
01:11:38.479 --> 01:11:43.340
I'm totally qualified. Is that like, you know how they
1053
01:11:43.380 --> 01:11:46.579
say dress for the job you want or dress for
1054
01:11:46.619 --> 01:11:50.010
the situation or any situation, right? So if you're dressed
1055
01:11:50.050 --> 01:11:52.050
like a slob, are you more likely to act like
1056
01:11:52.069 --> 01:11:52.829
a bath salts?
1057
01:11:55.270 --> 01:11:57.270
Yeah.
1058
01:11:57.289 --> 01:12:01.010
Or like if she was dressed to the nines in a,
1059
01:12:01.130 --> 01:12:04.920
in her Oscar gown, would she have behaved that crazily?
1060
01:12:04.979 --> 01:12:08.229
Would she have, I don't know, gotten drunk or taken
1061
01:12:08.270 --> 01:12:11.149
bath salts or done blow or whatever.
1062
01:12:11.210 --> 01:12:13.649
It's a valid question, but I think if you.
1063
01:12:13.529 --> 01:12:16.220
Take, you behave differently when you're dressed a certain way.
1064
01:12:16.489 --> 01:12:16.810
You do.
1065
01:12:17.100 --> 01:12:17.300
Yeah.
1066
01:12:17.579 --> 01:12:19.750
I mean, I know I feel that way when I,
1067
01:12:21.060 --> 01:12:23.819
I feel different when I'm wearing a suit, which granted
1068
01:12:23.859 --> 01:12:29.050
has been a long time. And I don't miss it really.
1069
01:12:29.239 --> 01:12:31.930
Believe it or not, when I'm dressed to like go
1070
01:12:31.970 --> 01:12:33.609
to an event or whatever, and I have to wear
1071
01:12:33.649 --> 01:12:36.590
a proper dress and, and high heels and whatever, like
1072
01:12:36.630 --> 01:12:39.470
say a wedding, let's say a wedding, right? Like I'm,
1073
01:12:40.989 --> 01:12:44.449
and we're talking me here, like real plain Jane life
1074
01:12:44.529 --> 01:12:47.640
in real life Manila, not TV Manila. This is real
1075
01:12:47.680 --> 01:12:51.439
life Manila, right? And I curse like a sailor. And I,
1076
01:12:51.500 --> 01:12:55.000
you know, like I'm, as they say, you can take
1077
01:12:55.020 --> 01:12:56.340
the girl out of the hood, but you can't take
1078
01:12:56.359 --> 01:12:59.279
the hood out of the girl. That's me, right? But
1079
01:12:59.319 --> 01:13:02.260
when I am dressed to go, let's say to a wedding,
1080
01:13:03.199 --> 01:13:11.359
I do find myself behaving more ladylike and not cursing
1081
01:13:11.420 --> 01:13:15.920
like a sailor sure and actually behaving a little more
1082
01:13:16.039 --> 01:13:20.590
demure than my normal everyday self so i there is
1083
01:13:20.630 --> 01:13:23.029
a little bit of psychology that's involved in in why
1084
01:13:23.109 --> 01:13:25.750
sean duffy was saying that and maybe this is why
1085
01:13:25.829 --> 01:13:29.789
man you're getting like thousands every year thousands of unruly
1086
01:13:29.810 --> 01:13:35.550
passengers trying to stab you with a broken spoon like Dude,
1087
01:13:35.829 --> 01:13:39.510
come on. Like a naked person running up and down
1088
01:13:39.550 --> 01:13:42.439
the aisle is like the least of the flight attendants concerns.
1089
01:13:42.699 --> 01:13:46.619
They're over here trying to ward off like, like jail shibs, right?
1090
01:13:46.659 --> 01:13:50.460
Like from passengers, like trying to stab them with broken silverware.
1091
01:13:50.500 --> 01:13:55.810
Like I'm just saying maybe, maybe Sean Duffy was onto something.
1092
01:13:56.930 --> 01:13:59.409
I'm not going to dress like that, but maybe that's
1093
01:13:59.869 --> 01:14:01.770
where that came from. Just an idea.
1094
01:14:03.229 --> 01:14:05.470
You know, I mean, I'm not going to dismiss that
1095
01:14:05.529 --> 01:14:08.489
out of hand. You know, I mean, it might just
1096
01:14:08.560 --> 01:14:11.460
be like, let's just say she took some sort of drug.
1097
01:14:13.859 --> 01:14:17.619
You know, if you're wearing a beautiful dress and white gloves,
1098
01:14:18.260 --> 01:14:20.859
maybe you're like, I'm not popping any drugs before I
1099
01:14:20.880 --> 01:14:22.970
get on the plane. You think of the plane as
1100
01:14:23.010 --> 01:14:28.829
a formal sacred space and we're good behavior. I mean, look,
1101
01:14:28.909 --> 01:14:31.949
the airline doesn't behave well to you. You know, they're
1102
01:14:31.989 --> 01:14:36.149
squeezing you in and treating you like shit. The TSA
1103
01:14:36.220 --> 01:14:40.340
thing is a disgrace. You know, the way you're treated.
1104
01:14:40.699 --> 01:14:46.520
Cook us like an expensive wild caught salmon, not like sardines.
1105
01:14:47.279 --> 01:14:50.130
Right, right, right, right, right. Come on.
1106
01:14:50.250 --> 01:14:52.390
Like if you're going to pack me away, like pack
1107
01:14:52.430 --> 01:14:56.729
me like expensive wild caught Alaskan salmon. Don't pack me
1108
01:14:57.289 --> 01:15:01.760
literally like a sardine in your flying tin cans. You
1109
01:15:01.800 --> 01:15:04.840
treat us like a sardine. We're going to behave like
1110
01:15:05.579 --> 01:15:07.739
little sardines. And I don't really know how those sardine
1111
01:15:07.779 --> 01:15:10.579
fish actually behave, Ted. I've never seen an alive one.
1112
01:15:11.000 --> 01:15:14.220
So I don't know. I feel like they'd be like
1113
01:15:14.260 --> 01:15:16.869
little wild little swimmers, but I don't know.
1114
01:15:17.329 --> 01:15:18.550
I don't know.
1115
01:15:18.569 --> 01:15:20.350
I've never seen an alive one. Have you ever seen
1116
01:15:20.390 --> 01:15:21.449
an alive sardine?
1117
01:15:21.470 --> 01:15:30.739
I don't believe so. No, only in the can. Exactly.
1118
01:15:30.960 --> 01:15:34.300
People don't have them. I don't think people... Do people
1119
01:15:34.319 --> 01:15:35.560
have them in aquariums?
1120
01:15:36.539 --> 01:15:39.569
I've never seen... I don't know. Anyone out there, now that...
1121
01:15:39.770 --> 01:15:41.020
I know this is a tangent, but I'm going to
1122
01:15:41.050 --> 01:15:45.090
pose this question and you guys let us know and
1123
01:15:45.130 --> 01:15:46.069
you can actually.
1124
01:15:46.449 --> 01:15:48.789
Unless you're a fisherman, then obviously you've seen sardines.
1125
01:15:48.810 --> 01:15:53.829
Well, no, I know, but where's our email? Email us,
1126
01:15:54.109 --> 01:15:58.149
tmishowquestion at yahoo.com. We have a weird question for you.
1127
01:15:58.609 --> 01:16:03.670
Have you ever seen... a live sardine. And where?
1128
01:16:05.010 --> 01:16:07.109
And was it driving away from the scene of a crime?
1129
01:16:09.710 --> 01:16:12.069
So there you go. We'll be back on Thursday. We're
1130
01:16:12.090 --> 01:16:16.390
still sorting out the kinks. Thank you for bearing with us. Hopefully,
1131
01:16:16.489 --> 01:16:19.340
and you know, once we figure out how the algorithms go,
1132
01:16:20.100 --> 01:16:22.159
maybe we'll be back more frequently. Maybe not.
1133
01:16:22.239 --> 01:16:22.539
I don't know.
1134
01:16:22.619 --> 01:16:25.760
It depends. We're testing things out. So bear with us.
1135
01:16:25.880 --> 01:16:33.170
Thank you, guys. Thank you, our regular Rumble live live consumers, viewers,
1136
01:16:34.090 --> 01:16:36.430
for coming back to see us Tuesdays and Thursdays for
1137
01:16:36.449 --> 01:16:40.720
the foreseeable future until otherwise notified. Thank you. We're done.
1138
01:16:41.859 --> 01:16:44.239
See you Thursday. Adios, amigos.
1139
01:16:44.899 --> 01:16:45.539
See you Thursday.
1140
01:16:45.760 --> 01:16:45.939
Bye.
1141
01:16:46.479 --> 01:16:46.760
Bye.
1
00:00:09.890 --> 00:05:22.379
Thank you. Thank you. Hello, hello, hello. I think hello
2
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:27.759
only to Rumble at this point. It is the TMI show,
3
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:31.420
the Ted Manila information show. I am Manila. Ted is
4
00:05:31.620 --> 00:05:34.459
on his potty break. Producer Robbie working in the background.
5
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:40.279
So it is Tuesday, September 15th. We're halfway through the month.
6
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:44.230
In case you guys missed it, a little housekeeping. We
7
00:05:44.410 --> 00:05:49.310
are this week starting our new podcast. Two times, twice
8
00:05:49.370 --> 00:05:56.459
weekly show schedule. Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10 a.m. Because we are...
9
00:05:56.480 --> 00:06:00.980
There's Ted. So we are sorting out some kinks and
10
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:06.500
stuff because we are dropping the Rumble creator program because
11
00:06:06.540 --> 00:06:11.139
they are screwing all the creators that don't have full
12
00:06:11.180 --> 00:06:16.199
broadcasting contracts with them. We being one of them. Whatever
13
00:06:16.259 --> 00:06:18.910
the creator program meant. Robbie is going to fix all
14
00:06:18.930 --> 00:06:23.439
the other stuff because the kinks in the software are
15
00:06:23.509 --> 00:06:26.500
not playing ball. We're working it out.
16
00:06:27.259 --> 00:06:30.139
And also StreamYard is not pulling over the Rumble chat,
17
00:06:30.180 --> 00:06:31.100
which is awesome.
18
00:06:34.019 --> 00:06:36.279
So we'll have to figure those things out. But anyway.
19
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:39.759
Are we on YouTube? No, the stream exploded.
20
00:06:39.790 --> 00:06:41.449
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to
21
00:06:41.490 --> 00:06:44.370
premiere this on YouTube as soon as the live stream.
22
00:06:44.470 --> 00:06:48.889
As a live. Yeah. Yeah. So we got some housekeeping
23
00:06:48.949 --> 00:06:52.970
there to figure out. But again, the new schedule for
24
00:06:52.990 --> 00:06:56.089
the foreseeable future until we figure out algorithms and all
25
00:06:56.149 --> 00:07:00.240
that will be Tuesday and Thursday, 10 a.m. Eastern. And then,
26
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:04.660
of course, with the focus shifting over as reluctant as
27
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:07.879
I am to YouTube because we have no other options,
28
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.620
you'll be able to find each individual segment. So each
29
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:15.480
news topic that Ted and I and Robbie sometimes all
30
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:21.230
fight about. There will be four independent standalone segments. So
31
00:07:21.250 --> 00:07:25.769
you can find that particular topic that's in the live
32
00:07:25.810 --> 00:07:29.540
stream show. You can scroll through our description and find
33
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:31.399
the topics that you're interested in, and you'll be able
34
00:07:31.420 --> 00:07:36.040
to find that on YouTube as a standalone video. So
35
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:38.220
there you go. That's some of the changes we're working through,
36
00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:40.759
and we'll figure it out in the coming weeks. So
37
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:43.319
we thank you for sticking with us and coming here
38
00:07:43.459 --> 00:07:47.779
at 10 o'clock like the old days last week. So
39
00:07:48.420 --> 00:07:51.480
with that, as Robbie's sorting things out in the background,
40
00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:54.899
there's no other way to do it other than live, Ted.
41
00:07:55.550 --> 00:07:57.170
True.
42
00:07:57.290 --> 00:07:59.529
This be it. But anyway, this is going to give
43
00:07:59.569 --> 00:08:05.250
us more views than our normal show anyway. So there
44
00:08:05.290 --> 00:08:08.180
you go. All right. With that, any other housekeeping we
45
00:08:08.209 --> 00:08:13.160
should mention, Ted or Robbie? No. Nope.
46
00:08:13.180 --> 00:08:13.339
Okay.
47
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:23.870
We're going to go straight into... The topics. All right.
48
00:08:24.189 --> 00:08:32.110
So first things first, Palestine talk. However, it's not what
49
00:08:32.149 --> 00:08:37.529
you think. Macklemore, if you guys follow entertainment media, Macklemore
50
00:08:37.710 --> 00:08:41.649
is a fairly famous musician. He got dropped from the
51
00:08:41.769 --> 00:08:46.580
Ed Sheeran tour after a pro-Palestinian speech. Malcolm Moore has
52
00:08:46.620 --> 00:08:49.860
been dropped from the remaining U.S. states of Ed Sheeran's
53
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:55.759
Loop Tour following backlash over his pro-Palestine statements at MetLife
54
00:08:55.799 --> 00:09:01.190
Stadium in New Jersey. During two September performances, the rapper
55
00:09:01.230 --> 00:09:04.370
told the audience he wanted to use some of America's
56
00:09:04.610 --> 00:09:09.330
largest stages to say two words, free Palestine. Then he
57
00:09:09.370 --> 00:09:13.399
performed Heinz Hall, or is it Hinz Hall? His 2024
58
00:09:13.389 --> 00:09:17.799
protest song, about the war in Gaza, while images of
59
00:09:18.019 --> 00:09:24.139
Palestinian destruction and American campus protests appeared on stadium screens
60
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:30.159
all around. The remarks drew condemnation from the Israeli American Council,
61
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:35.379
the Anti-Defamation League, otherwise known as ADL, and other organizations.
62
00:09:35.659 --> 00:09:40.950
Critics accused McElmore of presenting a one-sided account of the
63
00:09:40.990 --> 00:09:47.940
war and promoting rhetoric they considered harmful to Jewish concert goers.
64
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:53.360
Tour promoter Messina Touring Group said several stadiums refused to
65
00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:57.929
host concerts with Macklemore on that lineup as removal prevented
66
00:09:58.009 --> 00:10:01.899
the possible cancellation of those shows online. affecting hundreds of
67
00:10:01.940 --> 00:10:06.139
thousands of fans. McElmore had been scheduled to open eight
68
00:10:06.500 --> 00:10:11.070
of Ed Sheeran's remaining 10 U.S. dates. McElmore blamed much
69
00:10:11.110 --> 00:10:14.350
of the pressure on New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft,
70
00:10:14.990 --> 00:10:19.389
whose company owns Gillette Stadium. Kraft responded that Macklemore's recent
71
00:10:19.460 --> 00:10:24.500
performances and past imagery crossed a line into rhetoric he
72
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:30.399
considered offensive to the Jewish community. Bob Kraft himself is Jewish.
73
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:35.870
Macklemore maintains that criticism of the Israeli government is not
74
00:10:35.970 --> 00:10:40.789
criticism of Jewish people. Sheeran has not publicly addressed the dispute.
75
00:10:40.889 --> 00:10:44.879
Macklemore described the decision as a painful disagreement between longtime friends,
76
00:10:45.269 --> 00:10:48.240
but said losing the tour would not change his opinion.
77
00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:54.730
The controversy revives a very old argument. Should musicians just
78
00:10:54.789 --> 00:10:59.490
stick to music? Now, historically, many never have. Billie Holiday
79
00:10:59.649 --> 00:11:04.750
confronted racial terror with strange fruit. Woody Guthrie and Pete
80
00:11:04.809 --> 00:11:09.720
Seeger sang about workers, poverty, and war. Nina Simone responded
81
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:15.679
to racist violence with Mississippi G-Dam, the actual word, not
82
00:11:16.690 --> 00:11:22.629
We can't say it because of YouTube. Bob Dylan, Marvin Gaye, Crosby, Stills,
83
00:11:22.690 --> 00:11:25.950
and Nash & Young supplied soundtracks for civil rights and
84
00:11:26.110 --> 00:11:33.409
anti-war movements. Later generations followed. Public Enemy, NWA, challenging police
85
00:11:33.470 --> 00:11:37.490
and racial inequality. Rage Against the Machine, one of my favorites,
86
00:11:37.980 --> 00:11:42.320
attacked corporate and government power. The Chicks, formerly known as
87
00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:45.919
the Dixie Chicks, opposed the Iraq War. and they paid
88
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:49.350
a heavy price for it. Conservative artists have also used
89
00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:54.269
music politically, including Lee Greenwood, Toby Keith, and country performers
90
00:11:54.470 --> 00:11:59.889
who champion patriotism, the military, and so-called traditional values. Music
91
00:11:59.929 --> 00:12:04.029
has long carried political ideas because songs travel farther than speeches,
92
00:12:04.470 --> 00:12:08.610
but a stadium tour is also a multi-million dollar business
93
00:12:08.710 --> 00:12:13.490
involving promoters, venue owners, sponsors, and of course, ticket buyers.
94
00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:19.149
Macklemore exercised his voice. The people controlling the stages exercised theirs.
95
00:12:19.690 --> 00:12:23.570
The fight is over who gets the microphone and who
96
00:12:23.809 --> 00:12:28.600
gets to pull the plug. So, Ted, you and I,
97
00:12:28.629 --> 00:12:29.940
I think between the two of us, have gone to
98
00:12:29.980 --> 00:12:35.519
quite a few concerts in our day. Yes, we have.
99
00:12:37.740 --> 00:12:40.710
And why was it that in the days of your...
100
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:44.720
You know, we're talking about when before streaming came into existence.
101
00:12:44.899 --> 00:12:48.450
We talked about this last week. Why were musicians allowed
102
00:12:48.570 --> 00:12:52.669
to say the things they said? I mean, like we said,
103
00:12:52.710 --> 00:12:55.409
going as the article sites going as far back into
104
00:12:55.450 --> 00:13:01.450
history as Billie Holiday. Why now is it suddenly unsavory
105
00:13:01.610 --> 00:13:05.669
for Macklemore to say two words, free Palestine?
106
00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:11.809
Well, it's hard to know what was going through Robert
107
00:13:11.850 --> 00:13:15.570
Kraft's mind, but let's try to give him the benefit
108
00:13:15.610 --> 00:13:18.809
of whatever doubt there is here, which is to say, okay,
109
00:13:18.889 --> 00:13:22.820
so in the same way that Macklemore thinks that it's
110
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:27.860
his ethical obligation or duty to his own free speech
111
00:13:27.899 --> 00:13:31.740
to express himself in support of the people of Palestine,
112
00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:36.879
Kraft might be thinking, listen, um, There's no genocide, and
113
00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:42.389
I'm pro-Israel, and I'm not going to let my space,
114
00:13:42.549 --> 00:13:46.149
my venue that I own, be used to express these
115
00:13:46.230 --> 00:13:53.639
thoughts that I find offensive. And so I suspect that's
116
00:13:53.700 --> 00:13:58.919
what happened here with Kraft. He's like, well, it's my space.
117
00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:01.720
I don't have to allow anyone to do that. I
118
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:04.649
think in the past... there was more, I mean, obviously
119
00:14:04.710 --> 00:14:07.649
censorship is not new. You can ask the dead Kennedys
120
00:14:07.730 --> 00:14:10.950
about that. You know, you can ask the, you know,
121
00:14:11.230 --> 00:14:15.179
Tipper Gore about that. Censorship of music has been with
122
00:14:15.259 --> 00:14:19.080
us for a long time. Elvis Presley, you know, I mean,
123
00:14:19.460 --> 00:14:22.919
but it's, I think there was more of a sense
124
00:14:22.980 --> 00:14:28.490
among concert promoters and venue managers that like, listen, it's
125
00:14:28.529 --> 00:14:30.230
not really our place to put our thumb on the
126
00:14:30.269 --> 00:14:33.100
scale here. Like we just provide a space and a,
127
00:14:33.350 --> 00:14:35.870
People want to rent it. We rent it and they
128
00:14:35.909 --> 00:14:38.629
can have our concerts. There was more of that sense.
129
00:14:39.230 --> 00:14:43.529
And like, I think now people are more emboldened to say, well,
130
00:14:43.769 --> 00:14:46.500
I'm not going to allow, maybe they're not as desperate
131
00:14:46.529 --> 00:14:51.379
for the money. There's fewer places to perform. Maybe that's
132
00:14:51.419 --> 00:14:55.059
what it is. Maybe it's the nature of this particular event.
133
00:14:55.860 --> 00:15:01.330
conflict in that, like, you know, the people who, Zionists
134
00:15:01.730 --> 00:15:05.549
seem to be resorting a lot more to censorship than
135
00:15:05.570 --> 00:15:11.200
other people with right-wing political ideologies. Zionism is a right-wing
136
00:15:11.220 --> 00:15:16.639
political ideology. And I think it's because they've really run,
137
00:15:16.740 --> 00:15:20.919
their arguments that used to work don't work anymore. I mean,
138
00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:24.720
they fall flat. Nobody believes that that criticism of Israel
139
00:15:24.779 --> 00:15:29.259
is the same thing as antisemitism. Nobody believes that it's
140
00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:34.039
a lie to say that there's a genocide going on.
141
00:15:34.580 --> 00:15:38.929
And nobody believes that Israel is behaving ethically, right? So
142
00:15:39.309 --> 00:15:41.909
basically most moral army in the world. I was just
143
00:15:41.970 --> 00:15:45.929
going to say that. All that shit's just falling apart.
144
00:15:46.409 --> 00:15:49.730
So I think that when you don't have good arguments
145
00:15:49.769 --> 00:15:53.850
or counter-arguments, Then you basically just start screaming, shut up.
146
00:15:54.529 --> 00:15:58.169
And that's what they're doing here. Right. I mean, it's
147
00:15:58.629 --> 00:16:01.090
it's literally like a sign of weakness on the part
148
00:16:01.129 --> 00:16:05.059
of the Zionist cause. They're on the way out. You know,
149
00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:06.679
you lost Israel screwed.
150
00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:10.700
I mean, we're done with the Ellison's trying to run defense. Obviously,
151
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:14.299
you know, the Oracle people, the Ellison family. buying up
152
00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:18.899
all of the different forms of media, all the different mediums, right?
153
00:16:18.940 --> 00:16:26.789
From TikTok to CBS to Paramount slash Skydance. I hate that.
154
00:16:26.850 --> 00:16:28.509
I hate that name, Skydance.
155
00:16:28.649 --> 00:16:30.970
I actually kind of like the name, Skydance.
156
00:16:31.669 --> 00:16:35.840
It's ridiculous. It's like the Lord of the Dance. What?
157
00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:38.100
What is that? It's so gay.
158
00:16:38.179 --> 00:16:41.159
I kind of like it, but, but you know, on,
159
00:16:41.299 --> 00:16:43.480
on that note, it's the same as Bob craft here
160
00:16:43.559 --> 00:16:48.299
saying Gillette stadium is mine. It's my house. I don't
161
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:50.399
like what you're saying. So you can't come in.
162
00:16:50.970 --> 00:16:51.350
Yeah.
163
00:16:51.379 --> 00:16:53.919
So I get that. That's his right. I get it.
164
00:16:54.470 --> 00:16:57.750
It's his legal, right? It's just that it's like a legal, right?
165
00:16:57.769 --> 00:16:59.169
He shouldn't exercise.
166
00:16:59.190 --> 00:17:00.070
Right.
167
00:17:00.149 --> 00:17:00.970
And he shouldn't.
168
00:17:00.990 --> 00:17:03.269
I mean, of course, obviously you can push this logically.
169
00:17:03.309 --> 00:17:07.210
Let's say you were having, a pro-Nazi rally. I mean, yeah,
170
00:17:07.829 --> 00:17:12.680
Madison Square Garden hosted a pro-Nazi rally one time. I
171
00:17:12.700 --> 00:17:15.839
think it was in the 30s for the German Bund.
172
00:17:15.859 --> 00:17:18.880
You know, so it's like, yeah, it's like, well, they
173
00:17:18.900 --> 00:17:22.700
were like, hey, those Reichsmarks will, you know, they spend
174
00:17:22.740 --> 00:17:27.960
just as well as the dollars. So I think that you,
175
00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:30.180
but let's just say, you know, you had like a
176
00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:31.960
stadium and it's like, well, would you rent it out
177
00:17:31.980 --> 00:17:36.710
to the KKK? Probably not, right? So that's probably what
178
00:17:36.779 --> 00:17:40.720
Kraft is saying. Like, similarly, I don't have to run out.
179
00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:44.000
He doesn't have to. And it's like, and like, here's
180
00:17:44.019 --> 00:17:47.099
the thing. You don't have to do that. But everybody's
181
00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:50.579
going to look at Kraft and say, okay, well, you're
182
00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:54.920
a fascist. And that's okay, too. You know, I mean,
183
00:17:55.059 --> 00:17:55.960
he's a fascist.
184
00:17:56.619 --> 00:18:01.119
I look at Bob Kraft and I think Asian massage parlor.
185
00:18:01.140 --> 00:18:04.789
He was in trouble. a few years ago, you know,
186
00:18:04.849 --> 00:18:09.109
happy ending massage place, um, and contributing to human trafficking.
187
00:18:09.710 --> 00:18:13.559
If those charges are in fact to be believed, um,
188
00:18:13.730 --> 00:18:15.839
that's what I see when I see Bob craft, but
189
00:18:15.900 --> 00:18:19.339
you know, that's just me, Asian lady. Um, some of
190
00:18:19.380 --> 00:18:22.880
the viewer comments, Tara Preda wild says, same reason in
191
00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:26.900
living color. I loved that show could no longer get
192
00:18:26.940 --> 00:18:31.039
shown on TV. We're in the censorship age. Well-dressed nerd says,
193
00:18:32.019 --> 00:18:35.700
I'm pretty sure Zionism is what's going through Kraft's mind.
194
00:18:37.299 --> 00:18:37.599
Yeah.
195
00:18:38.380 --> 00:18:41.559
Yeah, I think that's a fair assessment. So I think
196
00:18:41.900 --> 00:18:46.490
we're there now, Ted, because on the face of it,
197
00:18:46.569 --> 00:18:52.069
calling everybody an anti-Semite doesn't work anymore. So now you
198
00:18:52.109 --> 00:18:55.400
just have to resort to saying, I'm taking my ball
199
00:18:55.460 --> 00:18:58.470
and I'm going home. or I own the basketball court
200
00:18:58.769 --> 00:18:59.150
or I.
201
00:18:59.170 --> 00:19:00.970
Own the hoop. You take your ball and go home.
202
00:19:01.049 --> 00:19:03.470
I'm taking the, I'm taking the hoop down and nobody
203
00:19:03.509 --> 00:19:06.930
can play. That's basically where we're at now at that stage.
204
00:19:07.509 --> 00:19:10.279
So I don't know where it ends, Ted. I mean,
205
00:19:10.730 --> 00:19:14.460
at some point there are going to be enough artists
206
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:19.759
that stand up together and say, you know what, we're
207
00:19:19.779 --> 00:19:21.339
going to break free of this and we're going to
208
00:19:21.380 --> 00:19:26.400
say what we want to say. Um, I think in
209
00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:28.119
the same way that we saw, you know, in the
210
00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:32.519
early 90s with movies like Boys in the Hood and
211
00:19:33.140 --> 00:19:41.019
rap groups like NWA, really, really pushing the envelope and
212
00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:47.769
forcing that into like the mainstream discourse. It's already become
213
00:19:47.789 --> 00:19:49.609
the main, I mean, Ted, we've been at this for
214
00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:53.740
three years now. The October 7th anniversary is coming up.
215
00:19:54.099 --> 00:19:57.160
This is coming on three years. It has become front
216
00:19:57.220 --> 00:20:03.549
and center mainstream discourse. It hasn't gone away. It hasn't abated.
217
00:20:03.650 --> 00:20:09.490
So at what point do these Bob Craft types... Do
218
00:20:09.529 --> 00:20:14.750
they just say, enough artists are going to say, we're
219
00:20:14.789 --> 00:20:17.269
not going to do tours with you. We're just not
220
00:20:17.289 --> 00:20:17.650
going to go.
221
00:20:18.190 --> 00:20:19.119
Well, it's too pronged.
222
00:20:19.430 --> 00:20:22.299
Because, you know, we know about how there's a lot
223
00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:25.380
of geofencing going on around churches. You know, where they're
224
00:20:25.420 --> 00:20:28.519
trying to get people to go to church. I'm not
225
00:20:28.539 --> 00:20:30.240
going to assume that you're a Zionist. Well, I got
226
00:20:30.289 --> 00:20:37.039
this message 20 minutes ago. Live Israel Briefing. Please join me,
227
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:41.359
Degardo Franks, your CUFI state coordinator for a live briefing
228
00:20:41.420 --> 00:20:44.950
on Israel's ongoing conflicts in the media, on college campuses,
229
00:20:45.150 --> 00:20:49.150
and throughout our country. Additionally, learn about the positive impact
230
00:20:49.309 --> 00:20:51.789
our members have made on the national level and discover
231
00:20:51.829 --> 00:20:54.930
how you can help strengthen Israel, protect the Jewish people,
232
00:20:55.430 --> 00:21:00.500
and combat anti-Semitism within your church, your community, and your
233
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:05.319
state legislature. Tuesday, September 29th at 7 p.m. I will
234
00:21:05.339 --> 00:21:08.400
not be there. But this is the point, though.
235
00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:09.940
Controlling the venue.
236
00:21:10.539 --> 00:21:13.799
It's two-pronged. So they cancel people who they don't like,
237
00:21:14.579 --> 00:21:17.200
and then they try and go out and artificially astroturf
238
00:21:17.740 --> 00:21:20.569
based on what they consider to be a friendly venue, which,
239
00:21:20.589 --> 00:21:22.970
let's be honest, most evangelical churches are going to be,
240
00:21:23.750 --> 00:21:26.049
and that's how they're doing this. Israel might be on
241
00:21:26.089 --> 00:21:27.589
its way out, but there's still a lot of fight
242
00:21:27.630 --> 00:21:29.849
left in that dog, and I do not see it
243
00:21:29.930 --> 00:21:30.769
ending anytime soon.
244
00:21:32.980 --> 00:21:35.420
Yeah, that's going to suck because I think a lot
245
00:21:35.859 --> 00:21:42.559
of musicians who some happen to be Jewish themselves are
246
00:21:42.599 --> 00:21:47.380
standing up against this war. And I don't know who
247
00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:51.900
wins here, Ted, the musicians or the billionaires who own
248
00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:52.380
the venues.
249
00:21:53.339 --> 00:22:00.750
Who wins? I don't know. I mean, it's hard to say.
250
00:22:00.789 --> 00:22:04.970
I mean, I think normally speaking, The musicians are the
251
00:22:05.089 --> 00:22:10.589
ones who get, who win things. The musicians are the
252
00:22:10.730 --> 00:22:15.259
ones who, you know, have access to the public. Nobody's,
253
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:19.099
nobody's a fan of a concert venue.
254
00:22:19.740 --> 00:22:22.240
I love Madison Square Garden. What are you talking about?
255
00:22:22.779 --> 00:22:23.019
Yeah.
256
00:22:23.380 --> 00:22:23.640
Yeah.
257
00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:26.279
I don't, I think ultimately that's, what's going to win.
258
00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:31.839
So you think the musicians, I, yeah, I think so too,
259
00:22:31.880 --> 00:22:36.349
because I think now, you can't put the toothpaste back
260
00:22:36.390 --> 00:22:39.849
in the tube, right? Like you, if the, if, if
261
00:22:40.950 --> 00:22:44.549
enough musicians banded together, Ted, we could see something like
262
00:22:44.589 --> 00:22:49.130
a live aid, right? Where they don't need a Gillette
263
00:22:49.150 --> 00:22:51.910
stadium where they don't, you know, they don't, they don't
264
00:22:51.970 --> 00:22:57.109
need a stadium for this. They can go find, you know,
265
00:22:57.150 --> 00:23:00.819
basically get a permit to use like a piece of
266
00:23:00.859 --> 00:23:02.640
a national park or something, you know, you know what
267
00:23:02.660 --> 00:23:05.279
I mean? You can get a big plot of land.
268
00:23:05.549 --> 00:23:08.950
They can throw in their own money and they can
269
00:23:09.029 --> 00:23:11.869
reach the public directly and say, this is where you donate.
270
00:23:11.910 --> 00:23:13.650
This is how you tune in. This is how, you know,
271
00:23:13.730 --> 00:23:15.470
and they can pay for it that way and they
272
00:23:15.509 --> 00:23:19.849
can get their message across. I don't think venues can
273
00:23:19.930 --> 00:23:24.519
beat the musicians in 2026. If the, if the musicians
274
00:23:24.839 --> 00:23:29.339
had enough balls and they can band together, they could
275
00:23:29.420 --> 00:23:34.839
do themselves a brand new live aid style concert benefiting
276
00:23:35.859 --> 00:23:38.880
Gaza and they could have their free speech. And I
277
00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:43.430
think that would really kind of socket to the Bob
278
00:23:43.470 --> 00:23:48.390
crafts of the world and, um, concert promoters like live
279
00:23:48.430 --> 00:23:51.990
nation or whoever, um, that'll send a pretty strong message,
280
00:23:52.029 --> 00:23:58.500
I think. So unless they're there, they're agents, right? Like,
281
00:23:58.930 --> 00:24:02.170
I'm talking about their, you know, like their booking agents,
282
00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:04.880
their agents rein them in. I don't think there's any
283
00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:09.599
other way. But remember, the agents work for the talent.
284
00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:12.259
The talent doesn't work for the agent. People often forget
285
00:24:12.299 --> 00:24:15.279
that role. They can tell their agents if their agents
286
00:24:15.299 --> 00:24:17.789
try to shut them up to go shove it up
287
00:24:17.829 --> 00:24:22.930
their hoo-hahs and put together their own live aid. So
288
00:24:23.029 --> 00:24:25.609
I would like to see that happen. Honestly, there's enough
289
00:24:25.670 --> 00:24:30.549
people that know what's going on. So I hope that's
290
00:24:30.569 --> 00:24:34.069
what happens. I hope Macklemore stands up and says, hey,
291
00:24:34.809 --> 00:24:37.660
how about that idea Manila had? Let's have a live
292
00:24:37.740 --> 00:24:44.400
aid for Gaza. All right, let's go to the next topic.
293
00:24:49.109 --> 00:24:53.059
Meta is facing a proposed class action lawsuit accusing the
294
00:24:53.140 --> 00:24:57.200
company of using Facebook and Instagram photos to train AI
295
00:24:57.400 --> 00:25:01.200
and facial recognition systems without the knowledge or consent of
296
00:25:01.240 --> 00:25:05.599
the people pictured. Parents and kids in Illinois and California
297
00:25:05.700 --> 00:25:09.710
filed their lawsuit in federal court in Chicago. They allege
298
00:25:09.970 --> 00:25:15.359
Meta extracted biometric information from uploaded photos to train its
299
00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:22.519
emu and muse image generators and develop NameTag, an unreleased
300
00:25:22.740 --> 00:25:28.490
facial recognition feature for Meta's smart glasses. Wired Magazine previously
301
00:25:28.529 --> 00:25:32.750
reported that NameTag code appeared inside the glasses' companion app,
302
00:25:33.150 --> 00:25:36.210
which had been downloaded more than 50 million times. The
303
00:25:36.250 --> 00:25:39.990
system was reportedly designed to convert faces seen through the
304
00:25:40.029 --> 00:25:44.890
glasses into biometric signatures and compare them with stored face prints.
305
00:25:45.410 --> 00:25:49.390
Meta removed the code after Wired's report and says no
306
00:25:49.430 --> 00:25:53.799
consumer feature was released. The plaintiffs argue that unreleased does
307
00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:57.759
not mean unused. Their lawsuit could represent millions of people
308
00:25:57.799 --> 00:26:02.640
whose faces appeared in photos uploaded since September 2021. Under
309
00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:07.349
Illinois law, intentional or reckless biometric privacy violations can carry
310
00:26:07.380 --> 00:26:11.990
damages of $ 5, 000 each. Meta calls the lawsuit without merit
311
00:26:12.069 --> 00:26:15.630
and says it's been transparent about using information to improve
312
00:26:15.650 --> 00:26:20.049
its AI. The company also says it's not building a
313
00:26:20.089 --> 00:26:24.259
universal facial database. This case differs from a growing collection
314
00:26:24.279 --> 00:26:29.740
of copyright lawsuits against AI companies. The complaint here is familiar, nevertheless.
315
00:26:30.180 --> 00:26:34.950
Companies allegedly took valuable material first and worried about permission later.
316
00:26:35.450 --> 00:26:40.730
Comedian Sarah Silverman sued OpenAI and Meta in 2023, alleging
317
00:26:40.809 --> 00:26:45.309
that their systems were trained on unauthorized copies of copyrighted books,
318
00:26:45.779 --> 00:26:51.039
including her memoir, The Bedwetter. Although Silverman's comedy career and
319
00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:54.539
routines are often mentioned in coverage, her legal claims focused
320
00:26:54.619 --> 00:26:59.230
primarily on her written work. Courts later dismissed or narrowed
321
00:26:59.309 --> 00:27:04.029
portions of those cases. Authors George R.R. Martin, John Grisham,
322
00:27:04.309 --> 00:27:07.660
and Jody Picoult have also accused AI companies of using
323
00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:12.720
copyrighted books without authorization. Visual artists have sued over image
324
00:27:12.799 --> 00:27:17.019
generators trained on their work, while music publishers have challenged
325
00:27:17.059 --> 00:27:20.259
the alleged use of protected song lyrics. The legal issue
326
00:27:20.519 --> 00:27:24.700
is still unsettled. Technology companies argue that analyzing massive data
327
00:27:24.720 --> 00:27:29.369
sets to teach AI patterns qualifies as fair use. Creators
328
00:27:29.630 --> 00:27:33.170
argue that copying entire works without payment or permission is
329
00:27:33.210 --> 00:27:37.599
industrial scale infringement. Meta's latest lawsuit adds another layer because
330
00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:40.980
a face is neither a novel nor a song. You
331
00:27:41.019 --> 00:27:43.539
can rewrite a book or record another performance, but you
332
00:27:43.579 --> 00:27:47.769
can't replace your biometric identity after a company has converted
333
00:27:47.809 --> 00:27:48.670
it into data.
334
00:27:51.289 --> 00:27:57.980
That's grim, Ted. So, can we trademark our own faces?
335
00:27:58.119 --> 00:28:01.289
Do we have to trademark our own faces? I mean,
336
00:28:01.630 --> 00:28:04.710
I know it's buried in the terms of service. Like
337
00:28:04.970 --> 00:28:07.410
when you agree, you know, occasionally you'll get an email
338
00:28:07.509 --> 00:28:11.269
from Facebook or Instagram or whatever that says an update
339
00:28:11.309 --> 00:28:13.769
to our TOS, click here to view it. And then
340
00:28:13.789 --> 00:28:18.210
it's like 10,000 pages of TOS. I'm sure it's buried
341
00:28:18.269 --> 00:28:20.950
in there that says, we are going to use your
342
00:28:21.470 --> 00:28:23.589
face to train our AI. We're going to use your
343
00:28:23.630 --> 00:28:27.750
baby's face and, As you keep posting your children's faces,
344
00:28:27.829 --> 00:28:31.509
we're going to teach our AI how faces age, how
345
00:28:31.569 --> 00:28:41.410
faces mature, and how children grow. They stealthily include that
346
00:28:41.650 --> 00:28:45.569
in the terms of service, and we unwittingly play along
347
00:28:46.250 --> 00:28:48.670
by continuing to use it. I don't even know that
348
00:28:48.690 --> 00:28:52.650
they offer opt-outs, Ted. I've never seen, because I do look.
349
00:28:52.690 --> 00:28:54.670
I don't read word for word. I mean, I skim.
350
00:28:55.180 --> 00:28:58.289
But what I'm looking for is an opt-out, which is
351
00:28:58.349 --> 00:29:03.670
largely why I don't post zero pictures, but I seldom
352
00:29:03.869 --> 00:29:08.930
post pictures online because I don't consent. I don't want
353
00:29:09.009 --> 00:29:11.829
Meta to have my kids' faces. I don't want to
354
00:29:11.869 --> 00:29:16.670
give them a footprint. I don't want my brand-new baby,
355
00:29:16.849 --> 00:29:20.799
who's been alive for four months— For Mark Zuckerberg to
356
00:29:20.839 --> 00:29:23.799
be scanning all her pictures over the years and seeing
357
00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:28.329
how she ages and whatever. And one, not ask my permission.
358
00:29:28.369 --> 00:29:32.549
And two, we're not being compensated for it. And God
359
00:29:32.569 --> 00:29:35.170
only knows, you know, when the AI overlords take over,
360
00:29:36.150 --> 00:29:39.009
what happens, you know, then what happens when they have
361
00:29:39.130 --> 00:29:42.569
all of our biomechanics? data, what happens when they decide
362
00:29:42.630 --> 00:29:45.670
to zero you out for the, you know, AI space
363
00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:49.559
lasers to beam down and shoot you, you know, in,
364
00:29:49.680 --> 00:29:53.579
in the year 2040, like this, I know it's, it
365
00:29:53.619 --> 00:29:56.160
sounds like I'm making fun and it's wacky, but you know,
366
00:29:56.200 --> 00:30:00.240
if you're listening to what the AI, um, innovators will
367
00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:04.579
say are warning about the the death and destruction of
368
00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:10.099
humanity with ai this isn't a far-fetched idea um and
369
00:30:10.140 --> 00:30:14.670
this is just the you know the tangible argument against
370
00:30:16.650 --> 00:30:21.349
the ai overlords here is your your family pictures this
371
00:30:21.390 --> 00:30:22.990
is something tangible and i think this is a great
372
00:30:23.029 --> 00:30:25.859
thing that california it's rare that i compliment my home
373
00:30:25.880 --> 00:30:29.069
state but um It's a good thing that California is
374
00:30:29.109 --> 00:30:31.089
doing this. And I think more states need to get
375
00:30:31.210 --> 00:30:35.809
on top of this because they are training their data,
376
00:30:36.130 --> 00:30:41.609
or sorry, their AI on your children's faces. There's just
377
00:30:41.630 --> 00:30:47.490
something creepy to me, Ted, about using kids' faces. It's
378
00:30:47.549 --> 00:30:50.119
one thing to use the mom or the dad, the adult, right?
379
00:30:50.859 --> 00:30:55.839
But it's another thing to steal children's faces. There's just
380
00:30:55.859 --> 00:31:00.569
something morally... incompatible to me about, you know, why this
381
00:31:00.619 --> 00:31:02.660
is okay. I don't know. What do you think?
382
00:31:03.289 --> 00:31:07.509
No, I agree with you. I think it's also, I mean, look, honestly,
383
00:31:07.529 --> 00:31:12.609
they shouldn't be using anybody's faces, adults included. You know,
384
00:31:13.589 --> 00:31:18.990
if you do a TV show in Hollywood, you get
385
00:31:19.069 --> 00:31:21.910
separate checks. You get a check for writing an episode.
386
00:31:21.950 --> 00:31:24.690
You get a check for And you get a check
387
00:31:24.710 --> 00:31:27.990
for something called life rights, if it's based on a memoir,
388
00:31:28.069 --> 00:31:30.900
if it's based on your life. And you get, there's
389
00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:33.559
been a lot of litigation that says that you control,
390
00:31:34.500 --> 00:31:38.720
even if you're a public figure, you still get to
391
00:31:38.759 --> 00:31:43.269
control your visual image. Like, for example, people can't, like,
392
00:31:43.410 --> 00:31:49.230
appropriate your face in imagery in ways that are, like, unauthorized.
393
00:31:50.349 --> 00:31:55.200
And so... I think there's a legal basis for challenging this.
394
00:31:56.059 --> 00:32:00.140
I think that people's faces, you don't copyright or trademark
395
00:32:00.180 --> 00:32:03.420
your face, but you do have some legal, courts have
396
00:32:03.519 --> 00:32:06.700
found that you do have the right to control how
397
00:32:06.900 --> 00:32:10.160
the image of your face is used, especially by a
398
00:32:10.339 --> 00:32:17.119
for-profit corporation. And so I think there's probably a place to,
399
00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:22.480
there's probably some kind of legal remedy here that an
400
00:32:22.579 --> 00:32:24.559
enterprising law firm could come up with.
401
00:32:26.059 --> 00:32:26.339
Hmm.
402
00:32:27.529 --> 00:32:31.789
I didn't know. So when these biopics come out about,
403
00:32:31.849 --> 00:32:33.150
I don't know, let's say Elvis Presley.
404
00:32:33.930 --> 00:32:38.970
Well, he's dead. When you're dead, you lose it all. Oh, really? Yeah.
405
00:32:38.990 --> 00:32:40.240
So the estate can't control it?
406
00:32:41.789 --> 00:32:44.609
They can try. I mean, but it's like really hard
407
00:32:44.650 --> 00:32:45.190
at that point.
408
00:32:46.210 --> 00:32:48.569
But so like, let's say they want to do a
409
00:32:48.609 --> 00:32:50.210
Ted Raul biopic. Mm-hmm.
410
00:32:54.220 --> 00:32:57.720
It would be wise for them to probably reach out
411
00:32:57.769 --> 00:33:02.049
and try to negotiate consent because I could tie them
412
00:33:02.089 --> 00:33:02.569
up in court.
413
00:33:04.970 --> 00:33:09.289
Because you are the owner of that face.
414
00:33:09.589 --> 00:33:13.150
I'm a public figure. They can certainly do a Ted
415
00:33:13.190 --> 00:33:15.730
Rall biopic if they want to. I don't know why
416
00:33:15.789 --> 00:33:23.759
they would. But if they did, they would need to... Yeah,
417
00:33:23.970 --> 00:33:26.539
they could use images that had been published and get
418
00:33:26.599 --> 00:33:30.759
permission from the people who published them. But if they
419
00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:35.059
tried to... There's all sorts of contexts in which, for example,
420
00:33:35.099 --> 00:33:38.059
they might not be able to just take a screenshot
421
00:33:38.119 --> 00:33:41.289
from this show and then put it on the poster
422
00:33:42.670 --> 00:33:45.170
for the movie. That kind of thing might not be allowed.
423
00:33:47.130 --> 00:33:50.900
But for... The purpose is that Zuckerberg is using it
424
00:33:51.039 --> 00:33:54.160
for meta. Well, he's scraping your children.
425
00:33:54.180 --> 00:33:55.500
Yeah.
426
00:33:55.539 --> 00:33:57.640
Your children's, your children's faces.
427
00:33:57.720 --> 00:33:59.799
Well, that's, that's, what's going to be determined here. What
428
00:33:59.819 --> 00:34:04.140
this is related to is more similar to all the AI,
429
00:34:04.279 --> 00:34:07.529
all the intellectual property that's been scraped to train AI.
430
00:34:07.750 --> 00:34:07.950
Right.
431
00:34:08.369 --> 00:34:10.349
So is that a copyright violation?
432
00:34:10.409 --> 00:34:10.570
Right.
433
00:34:10.630 --> 00:34:14.869
It's like, it's like, is it by a copyright violation? Not,
434
00:34:15.610 --> 00:34:20.050
not to reprint or republish the, the material, but to
435
00:34:20.329 --> 00:34:23.170
use it in order to train AI. And that's what
436
00:34:23.210 --> 00:34:25.030
the courts have to grapple with now.
437
00:34:25.150 --> 00:34:28.730
AI from which you will then make a profit once
438
00:34:28.789 --> 00:34:30.050
you release your model.
439
00:34:30.489 --> 00:34:30.670
Right.
440
00:34:30.710 --> 00:34:34.050
And like you, you're gonna, it's a, it's a profit tool.
441
00:34:34.320 --> 00:34:37.440
It's not, it's not, we're just training AI for fun
442
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:41.019
at meta. Like we're just experimenting. They're gonna, they're gonna
443
00:34:41.179 --> 00:34:45.559
use it as, as a product to sell. Um, and
444
00:34:45.619 --> 00:34:48.460
incorporate into all their other products. Right. So it's, it's
445
00:34:48.480 --> 00:34:50.739
not free. It's not a pro bono thing. It's even
446
00:34:50.760 --> 00:34:54.480
if it was, I still don't think, um, it's right
447
00:34:54.519 --> 00:34:56.800
that they should have the ability to do this just
448
00:34:56.860 --> 00:35:00.050
because we use their, their platform. Cause that was not
449
00:35:00.090 --> 00:35:04.889
the original, similar to how Rumble did to us. When
450
00:35:04.929 --> 00:35:07.949
we signed up to and agreed to be a content creator,
451
00:35:09.849 --> 00:35:13.909
they promised us one thing. And then two years later, we're,
452
00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:18.360
getting another, you know, a different, it's not the same
453
00:35:18.380 --> 00:35:23.829
promise anymore. Same thing with, with Meta. And now they're like, okay,
454
00:35:23.849 --> 00:35:26.429
we have an AI company, all of your photos that
455
00:35:26.469 --> 00:35:29.650
you're sharing with friends and family across the world. We're,
456
00:35:29.809 --> 00:35:32.369
we're now able to use that because it's included in
457
00:35:32.389 --> 00:35:34.389
the terms of service. You should have read it. Ha ha.
458
00:35:34.889 --> 00:35:39.230
So now I guess we got a route for California
459
00:35:39.250 --> 00:35:43.099
and Illinois to set precedent and, and at the very
460
00:35:43.179 --> 00:35:48.050
least protect children. at the very least if not the
461
00:35:48.090 --> 00:35:50.570
adults too i hope it's all of us but at
462
00:35:50.590 --> 00:35:53.010
the very least i hope it's to protect the the
463
00:35:53.050 --> 00:35:54.809
little kids like you should not be able to scrape
464
00:35:54.869 --> 00:35:59.389
faces of minors like this is it's it's it's just
465
00:35:59.650 --> 00:36:03.929
morally reprehensible to me i just no i agree with
466
00:36:03.969 --> 00:36:09.699
me about that oh yeah besides the legal parts ted
467
00:36:10.010 --> 00:36:12.059
i mean i'm glad you cited the legal stuff i
468
00:36:12.099 --> 00:36:14.949
just want like God, when you think of Mark Zuckerberg,
469
00:36:14.969 --> 00:36:21.869
you're like, dude, you have children. Where do you park
470
00:36:21.909 --> 00:36:25.889
your ethics when you walk into one Facebook way? At
471
00:36:27.179 --> 00:36:29.500
what point do you drop it off on the i5
472
00:36:29.599 --> 00:36:37.820
before you get to the Facebook HQ? He knows full
473
00:36:37.860 --> 00:36:40.760
well just because you can do it doesn't mean you
474
00:36:41.070 --> 00:36:44.139
should do it. And that's the problem here. Again, it's
475
00:36:44.460 --> 00:36:46.639
the same argument that we're having earlier about.
476
00:36:46.659 --> 00:36:50.079
But I'm not sure he can do it, to be honest.
477
00:36:51.280 --> 00:36:51.820
Can do what?
478
00:36:52.300 --> 00:36:58.199
I'm not sure he can legally scrape, without authorization, people's images.
479
00:36:58.219 --> 00:37:00.980
No, no, that's what I'm saying. I'm glad you brought
480
00:37:01.019 --> 00:37:04.780
up the legal point. I'm just saying where in his mind,
481
00:37:05.719 --> 00:37:10.309
as we presume a human and a human father of
482
00:37:10.389 --> 00:37:14.559
human children... Just because he has the ability to do it,
483
00:37:15.570 --> 00:37:16.780
why would he do it?
484
00:37:17.030 --> 00:37:20.440
Well, and why not just pay, right? Like, why not
485
00:37:20.500 --> 00:37:21.179
just pay?
486
00:37:21.199 --> 00:37:22.179
We know why not pay.
487
00:37:22.239 --> 00:37:24.880
We know. Well, they have the money. I mean, my
488
00:37:24.960 --> 00:37:28.119
point is, let's just say you could be like, seriously,
489
00:37:28.360 --> 00:37:32.800
they could have paid like 10 bucks per image of
490
00:37:32.860 --> 00:37:35.639
a kid to the parents and just been like, you know,
491
00:37:35.809 --> 00:37:40.230
do you remember the Nirvana Nevermind album cover case?
492
00:37:40.250 --> 00:37:40.369
Sure.
493
00:37:41.179 --> 00:37:45.199
It's a baby. It's kind of photoshopped to make the
494
00:37:45.219 --> 00:37:48.159
baby look like he's swimming and chasing a dollar bill.
495
00:37:48.400 --> 00:37:52.340
It's a comment on capitalism. The baby grew up and
496
00:37:52.360 --> 00:37:58.130
basically said, I never gave consent for my nude image
497
00:37:58.170 --> 00:38:01.949
to be showed. My parents were okay with it, but
498
00:38:02.050 --> 00:38:07.940
I wasn't. Now I want to be paid. He sued
499
00:38:07.960 --> 00:38:10.929
the record company and the band. I think they had to,
500
00:38:10.989 --> 00:38:14.809
they paid to settle if memory serves, but, but the
501
00:38:14.889 --> 00:38:18.090
point is that like, it reminds me of that sort
502
00:38:18.150 --> 00:38:20.150
of like, okay, so you could have that issue where
503
00:38:20.170 --> 00:38:23.139
it's like the, the kids could be like, well, you know, okay.
504
00:38:23.239 --> 00:38:25.010
Mom and dad didn't have the right to sell my
505
00:38:25.070 --> 00:38:28.059
image when I was six or whatever, but you could
506
00:38:28.199 --> 00:38:31.559
easily at least try like, Hey, offer 20 bucks to
507
00:38:31.800 --> 00:38:35.219
every parent who's willing to sell their kid's photo. They
508
00:38:35.239 --> 00:38:37.300
didn't even try to do that. They just took it.
509
00:38:37.980 --> 00:38:41.000
I suspect just by paying most people would have been
510
00:38:41.039 --> 00:38:42.659
okay with it. You know?
511
00:38:43.099 --> 00:38:43.260
Right.
512
00:38:43.380 --> 00:38:47.469
I think at the very least what Zuckerberg could have
513
00:38:47.530 --> 00:38:51.190
done in, if we're going to enter the realm of
514
00:38:51.590 --> 00:38:57.170
having some remote semblance of ethics is send a plainly
515
00:38:57.210 --> 00:39:01.630
worded email to all the Facebook and Instagram users and say, Hey,
516
00:39:02.429 --> 00:39:07.679
we're going to scrape your images, including your children, to
517
00:39:07.739 --> 00:39:11.599
train our AI. Plain language. That's it. But not even that.
518
00:39:11.980 --> 00:39:16.280
It was done in secret, covertly, and it got discovered,
519
00:39:16.440 --> 00:39:21.489
and now they're getting sued. So that's the story. Bad ethics, Zuckerberg.
520
00:39:21.809 --> 00:39:28.349
Bad. All right.
521
00:39:29.730 --> 00:39:34.739
So, ted this is a story you sent me women
522
00:39:34.780 --> 00:39:38.769
apparently still prefer men who earn more a new dating
523
00:39:38.809 --> 00:39:43.909
survey finds money may not buy love but it apparently
524
00:39:43.989 --> 00:39:48.119
remains part of the job description A survey from AI-driven
525
00:39:48.360 --> 00:39:53.159
matchmaking service, so a dating service called Keeper, it's all
526
00:39:53.179 --> 00:39:57.559
powered by AI. Keeper found that only 11% of women
527
00:39:57.860 --> 00:40:01.710
said their ideal partner can earn less than them. By comparison,
528
00:40:01.710 --> 00:40:06.909
61% of men were comfortable with a lower earning partner.
529
00:40:07.429 --> 00:40:11.590
Put another way, 89% of women still preferred a partner
530
00:40:11.730 --> 00:40:14.559
who earned at least as much as they did, while
531
00:40:14.559 --> 00:40:21.099
39% of men said expressed that preference. The survey covered 9,630
532
00:40:21.099 --> 00:40:28.000
mostly heterosexual keeper users who completed marriage preference questionnaires between
533
00:40:28.039 --> 00:40:31.809
July 1 and September 8. The article lists 6,251 male
534
00:40:31.829 --> 00:40:34.429
and 3,401 female respondents, although those figures total 9,652 rather
535
00:40:34.469 --> 00:40:46.210
than 9,630. So something's wrong there in the math. But
536
00:40:46.429 --> 00:40:50.750
either way, that's what Keeper says. Income changed the answers.
537
00:40:51.030 --> 00:40:53.710
Among women earning less than $ 50, 000 annually, 10% would consider
538
00:40:53.730 --> 00:40:56.429
a lower earning ideal partner. That figure doubled to 20%
539
00:40:56.429 --> 00:40:58.969
among women earning at least $ 250, 000 a year. The pattern
540
00:40:59.489 --> 00:41:01.110
was similar among men. 57% of those earning $ 50, 000 or
541
00:41:01.130 --> 00:41:16.260
less accepted the idea of a partner earning less. Among men,
542
00:41:17.000 --> 00:41:23.159
making at least $ 250, 000, that share rose to 79%. Preferences, however,
543
00:41:23.260 --> 00:41:27.530
were rarely absolute requirements. According to Keeper, only about 1
544
00:41:27.530 --> 00:41:34.130
in 200 users, or that's 0.5%, listed financial expectations as non-negotiable.
545
00:41:34.809 --> 00:41:37.289
Just 1 in 1,000, or 0.1%, specified the exact earnings threshold.
546
00:41:43.269 --> 00:41:46.909
The article also cites a 2023 Pew Research study finding
547
00:41:47.329 --> 00:41:51.280
that wives earning more than their husbands had tripled over
548
00:41:51.340 --> 00:41:55.800
the previous 50 years. Still, 55% of American households had
549
00:41:55.840 --> 00:42:00.699
a male breadwinner compared with 16% led financially by a woman.
550
00:42:01.139 --> 00:42:04.460
Another study cited in the article found that husbands whose
551
00:42:04.539 --> 00:42:08.659
wives supplied at least 70% of household income nearly doubled.
552
00:42:09.099 --> 00:42:11.360
are faced nearly two and a half times the risk
553
00:42:11.539 --> 00:42:17.739
of serious psychological stress. Keeper reports roughly 1.6 million signups
554
00:42:18.260 --> 00:42:21.539
and claims that one in 10 first dates arranged through
555
00:42:21.579 --> 00:42:26.489
their service resulted in marriage. Wow. So money is seldom
556
00:42:26.619 --> 00:42:30.030
an official deal breaker, but when people describe their quote
557
00:42:30.190 --> 00:42:36.730
ideal relationship, the traditional male provider model remains remarkably hard
558
00:42:37.070 --> 00:42:40.590
to get rid of Ted. And I got to look
559
00:42:40.610 --> 00:42:42.659
at this cartoon. Feel free to comment.
560
00:42:42.780 --> 00:42:46.099
Can you put this cartoon up into on the screen?
561
00:42:46.940 --> 00:42:49.320
So I did this cartoon. I did this cartoon a
562
00:42:49.360 --> 00:42:52.599
few weeks ago. It showed up, I guess, two weeks
563
00:42:52.639 --> 00:42:56.250
ago on August 26th on my birthday. And it was
564
00:42:56.489 --> 00:43:01.670
based on some conversations I've personally overheard, as well as
565
00:43:01.710 --> 00:43:07.460
a bunch of stories I've read. about upper-income successful women
566
00:43:07.900 --> 00:43:10.409
who complain that they have a hard time finding, and
567
00:43:10.429 --> 00:43:14.869
I hate this term, quality men. And basically, you know,
568
00:43:14.909 --> 00:43:21.679
it's very imbued, deeply imbued with classism. And, you know,
569
00:43:21.739 --> 00:43:25.610
and basically I got all sorts of pushback. From women
570
00:43:25.659 --> 00:43:29.690
who said, and of course, the usual white knight-like dudes who,
571
00:43:30.110 --> 00:43:33.510
you know, are like, oh, I'm like, I'm total feminist,
572
00:43:33.550 --> 00:43:36.409
you know, and also, please have sex with me. I mean,
573
00:43:36.429 --> 00:43:37.090
as white knights.
574
00:43:37.110 --> 00:43:39.719
The guys that wear the future is female shirt.
575
00:43:39.989 --> 00:43:40.530
Oh, gosh.
576
00:43:40.940 --> 00:43:41.400
Those guys?
577
00:43:41.480 --> 00:43:44.340
May they all die in pain. As my son said,
578
00:43:45.219 --> 00:43:48.000
really wisely, he said, white knights are the worst because
579
00:43:48.019 --> 00:43:51.909
they're wolves in sheep's clothing. Because they literally are just
580
00:43:52.010 --> 00:43:55.730
gross guys who are pretending to be allies, but really
581
00:43:55.789 --> 00:43:59.269
they're just sucking up in order to fool women into
582
00:43:59.309 --> 00:44:04.429
thinking that they're Alan Alda, sensitive new age guys, right?
583
00:44:04.860 --> 00:44:08.599
But anyway, so this cartoon is about that. And basically
584
00:44:08.639 --> 00:44:11.000
it's like two women talking. One says... I beat all
585
00:44:11.019 --> 00:44:12.800
the guys and got into a good college. Then I
586
00:44:12.820 --> 00:44:15.000
beat the dudes and got a good job. Then I
587
00:44:15.039 --> 00:44:17.079
beat all the men all the way up the corporate ladder.
588
00:44:17.099 --> 00:44:20.429
Now I'm lonely. How come? I can't find quality men.
589
00:44:21.010 --> 00:44:25.769
And the whole point here is, okay, so there are
590
00:44:25.809 --> 00:44:28.409
these women who have won. They have done very well
591
00:44:28.449 --> 00:44:29.090
for themselves.
592
00:44:29.849 --> 00:44:30.289
Great.
593
00:44:30.630 --> 00:44:35.289
That's fantastic. Feminism needed to result in that. But, okay,
594
00:44:35.309 --> 00:44:38.769
so now these women... They're like, well, you know, they're
595
00:44:38.789 --> 00:44:42.610
not going to, they still, as this survey shows that
596
00:44:42.650 --> 00:44:46.539
you just read Manila, many of these women, the reason
597
00:44:46.559 --> 00:44:49.739
they can't find quality men is because they want men
598
00:44:49.780 --> 00:44:52.739
who earn, still earn more than they do. Well, here's
599
00:44:52.760 --> 00:44:58.090
the thing, guys, you won. You're rich now. And so
600
00:44:58.469 --> 00:45:01.969
being rich means that most people don't have as much
601
00:45:02.070 --> 00:45:05.210
money as you. And therefore, if you don't want to
602
00:45:05.250 --> 00:45:08.159
be lonely, you're going to have to quote unquote settle
603
00:45:08.449 --> 00:45:10.639
for someone who doesn't have as much money as you
604
00:45:10.940 --> 00:45:15.369
because you know you're rich. And I mean, like Jeff
605
00:45:15.389 --> 00:45:18.789
Bezos didn't, Jeff Bezos didn't think I need a guy,
606
00:45:18.909 --> 00:45:21.829
a lady who earns more than I do. You know,
607
00:45:21.949 --> 00:45:24.530
Elon Musk doesn't think he needs ladies who own, who
608
00:45:24.610 --> 00:45:25.610
earn more than he does.
609
00:45:25.630 --> 00:45:30.130
Those women don't fight Lauren Sanchez for Jeff Bezos, for
610
00:45:30.230 --> 00:45:31.130
Bezos' heart.
611
00:45:31.570 --> 00:45:35.949
For rich, rich people are, you know, rich dudes. I mean,
612
00:45:36.030 --> 00:45:38.570
you know, historically the vast majority of rich people have
613
00:45:38.610 --> 00:45:43.079
been dudes, rich dudes, you know, they kind of understood this. Like, Well,
614
00:45:43.199 --> 00:45:45.639
part of the advantage of being rich is, you know,
615
00:45:45.940 --> 00:45:49.519
I don't really need to split the bill. I can
616
00:45:49.599 --> 00:45:54.179
cover the trip to, you know, to Athens. You know,
617
00:45:54.280 --> 00:45:58.440
I can cover the $ 300 dinner. I've got that. And like,
618
00:45:58.760 --> 00:46:00.929
you can just, all my friends can come along, male
619
00:46:00.969 --> 00:46:06.349
or female. And so that's why this kind of, this whole, like,
620
00:46:07.909 --> 00:46:12.030
This whole mentality, it's not even about being resentful of
621
00:46:12.090 --> 00:46:15.659
these women. That's not it. It's more just like, hey,
622
00:46:15.699 --> 00:46:19.679
ladies who are like this, you're being dumb. Like date,
623
00:46:19.920 --> 00:46:23.250
you know, there's like lots of great working class, blue
624
00:46:23.309 --> 00:46:27.809
collar guys who would love you, adore you, be good
625
00:46:27.829 --> 00:46:32.150
to you, you know, be, do all the things, tick
626
00:46:32.170 --> 00:46:35.090
all the boxes for you. You don't need a guy
627
00:46:35.110 --> 00:46:39.610
with money because, you know, you have money. You're good.
628
00:46:40.230 --> 00:46:43.260
And it was just kind of like, hello, stupid. And
629
00:46:43.360 --> 00:46:45.920
so they but they were all denying this and online
630
00:46:45.940 --> 00:46:49.539
they were saying, oh, it's bullshit. It's not really true. Like,
631
00:46:49.840 --> 00:46:53.239
you know, like like when women say they want quality men,
632
00:46:53.280 --> 00:46:55.239
what they mean is a guy who takes out helps
633
00:46:55.320 --> 00:46:58.679
out with the chores and is an equal partner. And
634
00:46:58.719 --> 00:47:03.099
this poll shows, no, that's bullshit. That's not true. When
635
00:47:03.139 --> 00:47:07.659
women say they want quality men, what they're talking about.
636
00:47:07.679 --> 00:47:08.400
It's a euphemism.
637
00:47:08.659 --> 00:47:13.539
It's a euphemism for class, right? It's classist bullshit. So,
638
00:47:13.969 --> 00:47:14.219
you know.
639
00:47:14.239 --> 00:47:20.530
Well, yeah, because of... Well, Ted, through eons of... I
640
00:47:20.570 --> 00:47:23.309
don't know if it's innate. I mean, who can say
641
00:47:23.329 --> 00:47:26.110
if this is innate or not? But through at least.
642
00:47:27.710 --> 00:47:32.389
Thousands of years of social engineering, because men controlled the money,
643
00:47:32.489 --> 00:47:38.530
because men controlled society, the world, um, they, they had
644
00:47:38.650 --> 00:47:41.820
all the money. So after thousands of years of, of
645
00:47:41.909 --> 00:47:47.119
civilized worlds telling women that, you know, the only way
646
00:47:47.159 --> 00:47:50.699
you can have a secure life is by finding a
647
00:47:50.719 --> 00:47:56.480
man that can provide. Right. But you amplify that by
648
00:47:56.579 --> 00:48:03.809
today's FOMO, Instagram, TikTok lifestyle culture, this is what you get.
649
00:48:04.269 --> 00:48:06.949
This is what you see, the women that you're drawing
650
00:48:06.989 --> 00:48:10.710
about here. And look, I have been a well-to-do woman.
651
00:48:11.110 --> 00:48:13.010
I have been a poor woman, back and forth, back
652
00:48:13.050 --> 00:48:16.079
and forth, because as you know, Ted, that's what journalism.
653
00:48:15.619 --> 00:48:18.380
Does to you. I have been those things, but not
654
00:48:18.420 --> 00:48:22.380
a woman. Although the day's short, you don't know, the
655
00:48:22.500 --> 00:48:23.559
day's young, that could change.
656
00:48:24.409 --> 00:48:26.269
Ted, it's a long life. You never know. You can
657
00:48:26.309 --> 00:48:31.090
come join me on this side. But look, I've been
658
00:48:31.300 --> 00:48:33.030
both of those things. I've been somewhere in the middle.
659
00:48:34.199 --> 00:48:42.260
And income, I know in my cognitive mind, I know
660
00:48:42.360 --> 00:48:47.340
income is not the alpha and the omega. For that
661
00:48:47.519 --> 00:48:50.059
reason was because, you know, in the times where I
662
00:48:50.159 --> 00:48:53.429
wasn't starving, right, were the times where I'm doing pretty good.
663
00:48:54.630 --> 00:48:58.280
I would like somebody more or less in my range.
664
00:48:58.360 --> 00:49:00.679
I don't have to make more than them because there
665
00:49:00.699 --> 00:49:02.480
were times where I was making a lot of money.
666
00:49:03.820 --> 00:49:07.659
But it's just ingrained into women to feel like that
667
00:49:07.739 --> 00:49:11.039
is a sense of security. But when I'm able to
668
00:49:11.079 --> 00:49:14.989
think about it, I didn't need my spouse to be,
669
00:49:15.289 --> 00:49:17.230
or my partner, I guess, in this case, to be
670
00:49:17.250 --> 00:49:21.849
the breadwinner. It Is it helpful when you are like
671
00:49:21.889 --> 00:49:25.349
in my case now, I got laid off two years ago.
672
00:49:25.449 --> 00:49:25.630
Right.
673
00:49:25.670 --> 00:49:29.159
And then health problems and a surprise baby late in life.
674
00:49:31.239 --> 00:49:36.719
Does it help that my husband is the breadwinner? Abso-freaking-lutely. Absolutely. Like,
675
00:49:37.460 --> 00:49:39.449
I mean, you have to tighten the purse strings and stuff. Sure.
676
00:49:40.039 --> 00:49:47.059
But his income was not relevant to us dating or
677
00:49:47.079 --> 00:49:52.280
getting married. Was he smart?
678
00:49:52.400 --> 00:49:52.659
Sure.
679
00:49:52.820 --> 00:49:58.429
Was he a beefcake? Yes. He made me laugh. That
680
00:49:58.469 --> 00:50:00.610
was enough for me. He had a steady job. That
681
00:50:00.650 --> 00:50:03.110
was enough for me. Because at the time, I was
682
00:50:03.150 --> 00:50:06.530
making a lot of money. So it didn't matter to me.
683
00:50:07.309 --> 00:50:10.969
He had a steady job. And he was smart and
684
00:50:11.030 --> 00:50:15.590
hunky and made me laugh. And things clicked. That was
685
00:50:15.710 --> 00:50:17.869
all that was relevant to me. I've dated rich men.
686
00:50:17.969 --> 00:50:20.050
I've dated poor men. I mean, and by rich, I
687
00:50:20.090 --> 00:50:28.329
mean very, very, very rich. Like helicopters over, you know,
688
00:50:29.050 --> 00:50:33.550
from Nice into Monte Carlo, right? Like staying in Villa.
689
00:50:33.610 --> 00:50:37.789
I mean, that kind of rich. And that still didn't...
690
00:50:39.530 --> 00:50:41.429
It's not the alpha and not the omega. Like I said,
691
00:50:41.989 --> 00:50:45.429
for women that have their own, they need to consider that.
692
00:50:45.949 --> 00:50:49.590
You know, that if you have your own and the
693
00:50:49.710 --> 00:50:52.570
only next step up is somebody that's going to, you know,
694
00:50:52.630 --> 00:50:56.119
transport you by helicopter from going from one vacation spot
695
00:50:56.179 --> 00:51:02.280
in Nice down to Monaco by helicopter, you're talking about
696
00:51:02.340 --> 00:51:06.059
a thin sliver of men. And even still, you might
697
00:51:06.119 --> 00:51:13.519
find it empty, as I did. So like, but sure.
698
00:51:13.739 --> 00:51:15.079
Do they need to have a stable job?
699
00:51:15.440 --> 00:51:15.679
Sure.
700
00:51:15.780 --> 00:51:19.360
But these women in the upper echelon, I know plenty
701
00:51:19.380 --> 00:51:21.679
of them, Ted. I know plenty of these women that
702
00:51:22.719 --> 00:51:27.889
I can't find quality men. You're not looking in the
703
00:51:27.929 --> 00:51:28.750
right place, sweetheart.
704
00:51:29.150 --> 00:51:29.369
Yeah.
705
00:51:29.710 --> 00:51:29.909
Yeah.
706
00:51:30.190 --> 00:51:32.730
And it's like, also, I hate that term. Could you
707
00:51:32.789 --> 00:51:37.090
imagine if guys use the term quality woman?
708
00:51:38.690 --> 00:51:39.449
They do, though.
709
00:51:39.769 --> 00:51:42.989
I've never heard that. Do they? I'm not saying they don't.
710
00:51:43.010 --> 00:51:44.429
Yeah, I would say. Really?
711
00:51:44.469 --> 00:51:45.570
That term? Really?
712
00:51:45.929 --> 00:51:49.670
Yeah, yeah. Today. I would say today. It's actually very,
713
00:51:49.730 --> 00:51:54.070
very prevalent in like the youngest of the millennials into
714
00:51:54.369 --> 00:52:00.550
the eldest of the Zs. They they because remember, nowadays,
715
00:52:00.630 --> 00:52:02.550
it's the men who want to get married. The young
716
00:52:02.590 --> 00:52:05.250
men want to get married. And I hear them saying
717
00:52:05.269 --> 00:52:08.360
they can't find a quality woman. And by their definition
718
00:52:08.380 --> 00:52:11.500
of quality woman, they're talking about not only does she
719
00:52:11.559 --> 00:52:13.699
have to have it all right, like have at least
720
00:52:13.739 --> 00:52:16.070
a steady job. She has to be smart. She has
721
00:52:16.090 --> 00:52:17.690
to be all these things. But she also has to
722
00:52:17.730 --> 00:52:21.989
have the ability to be a trad wife also. That's
723
00:52:22.289 --> 00:52:23.849
she has to have she's all the things.
724
00:52:25.489 --> 00:52:27.289
All the things i don't know i mean i just
725
00:52:27.329 --> 00:52:30.309
never heard the term quality woman i mean.
726
00:52:30.130 --> 00:52:33.159
No it's a thing the young men are saying that
727
00:52:33.199 --> 00:52:34.849
now really i just.
728
00:52:34.659 --> 00:52:36.969
Don't like it well i i hate it both terms
729
00:52:37.010 --> 00:52:39.900
i mean because it's like the implication is that there
730
00:52:39.920 --> 00:52:44.900
are people who are who are low quality like basically
731
00:52:44.940 --> 00:52:49.219
it's like assessing um commodifying human beings like they're like
732
00:52:49.280 --> 00:52:53.550
they're a uh like a model of car or like,
733
00:52:53.570 --> 00:52:57.809
you know, any kind of consumer product. I mean, it's depressing.
734
00:52:58.670 --> 00:53:01.269
No, it has to be like a car. Some people
735
00:53:01.349 --> 00:53:01.929
do suck.
736
00:53:03.590 --> 00:53:05.039
I mean, there are some people who don't work.
737
00:53:05.099 --> 00:53:07.460
There are some people who are drugs or druggies. There
738
00:53:07.480 --> 00:53:10.659
are people who are alcoholics. There are people who are grifters.
739
00:53:10.719 --> 00:53:14.239
There are people who will just, who are leeches and
740
00:53:14.280 --> 00:53:16.340
will just latch on and just suck you dry. But
741
00:53:16.360 --> 00:53:18.090
that's not a quality person. It doesn't matter.
742
00:53:18.130 --> 00:53:22.460
That's true. That's true, Robbie. And look, my, my early,
743
00:53:23.239 --> 00:53:25.559
so my, my, as you guys know, if you guys
744
00:53:25.579 --> 00:53:27.900
have listened for any amount of time, you guys know
745
00:53:28.000 --> 00:53:31.530
my early formative young woman years were spent stomping the
746
00:53:31.590 --> 00:53:36.750
car lot. And it really helped form and shape my
747
00:53:36.789 --> 00:53:40.090
opinion of the world and how people are. And I mean,
748
00:53:40.110 --> 00:53:43.050
I'm seeing people's credit scores. I'm seeing their pay stubs.
749
00:53:43.110 --> 00:53:46.239
I'm seeing like I'm seeing humanity, right? Like a car,
750
00:53:46.320 --> 00:53:51.010
especially in LA, like nobody walks in LA, right? Ted,
751
00:53:51.489 --> 00:53:57.969
everybody needs a car. Everybody needs a car. So I really,
752
00:53:58.510 --> 00:54:01.960
I got to see the humanity in its purest form
753
00:54:02.000 --> 00:54:06.739
when they're in need. Right. And it, it really shaped
754
00:54:06.780 --> 00:54:10.960
my opinion about my analogies for the world. And to
755
00:54:11.019 --> 00:54:11.679
Robbie's point.
756
00:54:12.119 --> 00:54:12.489
Yeah.
757
00:54:12.610 --> 00:54:16.039
Like, A quality car, I don't need it to have
758
00:54:16.199 --> 00:54:21.760
a Mercedes badge, right? A quality car is a car
759
00:54:21.780 --> 00:54:25.280
that you can rely on, that's easy to fix, and
760
00:54:25.300 --> 00:54:27.019
you can do it yourself if you need to. You
761
00:54:27.059 --> 00:54:28.840
don't need to go to a mechanic and spend a
762
00:54:28.880 --> 00:54:32.570
gajillion dollars with some fancy machines to plug it up.
763
00:54:33.039 --> 00:54:35.360
You can fix it yourself. You can change your own oil.
764
00:54:35.400 --> 00:54:38.719
You can do whatever. A quality car means it's reliable.
765
00:54:39.420 --> 00:54:43.639
It's a fair price. It's... It's going to turn on
766
00:54:43.800 --> 00:54:50.340
in the Montana winter and survive a California Mojave Desert drive.
767
00:54:51.400 --> 00:54:56.050
It's going to suit your needs, right? It's going to
768
00:54:56.909 --> 00:54:58.829
climb the mountains for you. It's going to take you
769
00:54:58.849 --> 00:55:00.690
to the beach. It's going to do all those things.
770
00:55:01.030 --> 00:55:03.010
That's what you need. You don't need to have a
771
00:55:03.150 --> 00:55:07.530
Mercedes badge on it. You don't need a Rolls-Royce badge
772
00:55:07.659 --> 00:55:10.760
on it. If you do, you're superficial, and when you
773
00:55:10.800 --> 00:55:14.960
apply these, life lessons to humans, you really should look
774
00:55:14.980 --> 00:55:18.389
at your car. If you're looking for a car for
775
00:55:18.429 --> 00:55:22.050
vanity and you're doing that with a spouse, then of
776
00:55:22.150 --> 00:55:24.309
course you can't find quality men or women.
777
00:55:24.849 --> 00:55:27.550
I don't think so. I think you're making it a
778
00:55:27.949 --> 00:55:30.190
lot more commercial needs to be. And here's what I
779
00:55:30.190 --> 00:55:33.730
mean by that. For example, you laid out the case perfectly.
780
00:55:34.800 --> 00:55:37.579
Your husband, he's a friend of mine. I know him.
781
00:55:38.559 --> 00:55:41.809
When you were sick, he took care of you. When
782
00:55:41.889 --> 00:55:44.530
you're pregnant, he took care of you. When you lost
783
00:55:44.570 --> 00:55:48.550
your job, he took care of you. Reliable. Well, on
784
00:55:48.570 --> 00:55:50.630
the flip side, when he was at his lowest, you
785
00:55:50.650 --> 00:55:53.280
were there for him. You took care of him. You
786
00:55:53.300 --> 00:55:54.820
made a home for him. You nurtured him.
787
00:55:56.500 --> 00:55:57.420
It's okay.
788
00:55:57.579 --> 00:56:01.360
If you're going to have this stupid term, quality person,
789
00:56:01.980 --> 00:56:05.659
what that means is that your partner doesn't cheat on
790
00:56:05.699 --> 00:56:07.739
you and is there for you in the good times
791
00:56:07.780 --> 00:56:11.599
and the bad times. The paycheck doesn't matter. That's the
792
00:56:11.619 --> 00:56:15.559
whole thing. And what is it? Feminism teaches that women
793
00:56:15.820 --> 00:56:19.900
must pursue the power of the almighty dollar because men
794
00:56:19.940 --> 00:56:22.860
have had it so good and dominated women for 6,000
795
00:56:22.860 --> 00:56:25.460
years of human history. Let's just unpack the 6,000 years
796
00:56:25.500 --> 00:56:28.179
of human history. Who is it that fights the wars
797
00:56:28.239 --> 00:56:30.639
for you? Who is it that takes care of you
798
00:56:30.679 --> 00:56:35.110
whenever you're pregnant, whenever you can't, during these six millennia
799
00:56:35.150 --> 00:56:35.590
of history?
800
00:56:36.309 --> 00:56:37.369
Who built the shelters?
801
00:56:37.969 --> 00:56:40.929
No, who did the dirty jobs? Who's the one that
802
00:56:40.989 --> 00:56:49.050
kept you alive? So with the perks of being a man,
803
00:56:49.130 --> 00:56:53.380
there were an awful lot of problems that women were
804
00:56:53.400 --> 00:56:55.739
not asked to deal with. Like women were not asked
805
00:56:55.900 --> 00:57:00.239
to join the Roman legions. They didn't fight in the phalanxes.
806
00:57:00.800 --> 00:57:05.269
There's reasons for that. And I think that women need
807
00:57:05.309 --> 00:57:09.110
to realize that men are not your enemies. And men
808
00:57:09.150 --> 00:57:13.150
need to realize it's okay to get married to that woman,
809
00:57:13.269 --> 00:57:16.789
and you don't need to make yourself a six-figure salary.
810
00:57:17.690 --> 00:57:20.469
If you're able to provide for your family working at Walmart,
811
00:57:22.010 --> 00:57:24.269
then good on you. That's all that you need, and
812
00:57:24.309 --> 00:57:27.190
society can go hang itself. And women, y'all need to
813
00:57:27.230 --> 00:57:29.949
get the hell off of the bench, because if you're
814
00:57:29.969 --> 00:57:32.469
going to keep punching down like this, eventually the guys
815
00:57:32.489 --> 00:57:34.230
aren't going to be there. And when the barbarians come
816
00:57:34.269 --> 00:57:36.929
over the wall, who's going to save you? It won't
817
00:57:36.969 --> 00:57:37.409
be the guys.
818
00:57:40.079 --> 00:57:41.619
Well, just ask the Ukrainians.
819
00:57:42.449 --> 00:57:44.409
Oh! Well, I mean, they're getting drafted now.
820
00:57:45.179 --> 00:57:45.909
That's what I'm saying.
821
00:57:46.250 --> 00:57:49.489
Yeah, I mean, it's insane. So how's that feminism working
822
00:57:49.530 --> 00:57:51.250
out for you? I know you have plunging birth rates.
823
00:57:52.170 --> 00:57:55.949
For the first time in recorded history, there's going to
824
00:57:55.969 --> 00:57:58.769
be fewer people born than ever before. I know.
825
00:57:58.949 --> 00:57:59.380
I know it.
826
00:57:59.389 --> 00:58:01.690
I mean, it's total suicide.
827
00:58:02.130 --> 00:58:03.769
So how's that feminism working out for you?
828
00:58:04.449 --> 00:58:06.309
If ever there was a place to look at and
829
00:58:06.349 --> 00:58:10.110
be like, hey, this is, you know, when you swing
830
00:58:10.190 --> 00:58:13.690
feminism too far the other way, look at Ukraine. That's
831
00:58:13.710 --> 00:58:17.429
what's happened. So now you're suddenly objecting to girls going
832
00:58:17.449 --> 00:58:22.090
to fight at the front. Or grandmas, babushkas at this point.
833
00:58:22.239 --> 00:58:25.199
I mean, look, there's also an aspect to this story
834
00:58:25.239 --> 00:58:27.420
that I think, you know, we don't want to lose,
835
00:58:28.099 --> 00:58:31.960
which is that people are, is that, you know, the
836
00:58:32.000 --> 00:58:37.739
detachment between identity politics and class analysis is, I mean,
837
00:58:38.420 --> 00:58:43.000
it's like there is so much of that going on now.
838
00:58:43.460 --> 00:58:45.590
And like, you know, a lot of the, it's kind
839
00:58:45.610 --> 00:58:50.070
of like we saw with the death and reassessment of
840
00:58:50.110 --> 00:58:53.010
the life of Gloria Steinem last week, you know, and
841
00:58:53.050 --> 00:58:56.530
we know that she worked for the CIA and basically
842
00:58:56.590 --> 00:59:01.199
helped kick like leftists out of the feminist movement and basically,
843
00:59:01.619 --> 00:59:05.050
you know, made, tried to make feminism more of like a,
844
00:59:06.079 --> 00:59:09.969
You know, something more for like upscale, you know, upper class.
845
00:59:10.280 --> 00:59:13.900
white women than for like normal working class people and
846
00:59:13.940 --> 00:59:19.800
people of color. This was a huge problem, right? This
847
00:59:19.840 --> 00:59:26.340
was a, and, and like, This is the ultimate embodiment
848
00:59:26.800 --> 00:59:30.099
of it where it's like you literally have women who
849
00:59:30.679 --> 00:59:36.960
have achieved the American dream against the odds and they
850
00:59:37.019 --> 00:59:41.570
don't know how to celebrate their victory by finding someone
851
00:59:41.590 --> 00:59:46.010
to share their lives with because of these old patriarchal
852
00:59:46.110 --> 00:59:49.050
ideas that the man should earn as much or more
853
00:59:49.130 --> 00:59:54.880
than the wife. It's just Yeah, I mean, this is
854
00:59:55.000 --> 01:00:01.219
what happens when you detach identity struggle from class analysis.
855
01:00:01.500 --> 01:00:03.320
Once you do that, things get fucked up.
856
01:00:04.050 --> 01:00:06.909
The other point in the article was that in the
857
01:00:07.550 --> 01:00:12.730
few households that they surveyed through Pew, where the women
858
01:00:13.050 --> 01:00:17.329
earned more, out-earned their spouses, that the men had some
859
01:00:17.369 --> 01:00:21.530
kind of psychological or emotional distress because of it. the
860
01:00:21.590 --> 01:00:23.329
vast majority of them. I think it said like two
861
01:00:23.369 --> 01:00:25.969
thirds or something. And I just want to give a
862
01:00:25.989 --> 01:00:30.719
shout out to Makedan, our viewer in Australia, our Aussie friend.
863
01:00:31.179 --> 01:00:34.159
Thank you for the donation. Makedan says, you have to
864
01:00:34.219 --> 01:00:36.260
have two out of three or just a lot of money.
865
01:00:36.360 --> 01:00:41.440
So money, charm, or looks. That's fair. And of course,
866
01:00:41.500 --> 01:00:45.070
our resident scientist, JDC, says, I tell my wife all
867
01:00:45.110 --> 01:00:48.449
the time that I saw doctor on her door and
868
01:00:48.469 --> 01:00:51.250
I thought, score, I'm gonna seduce this bitch and live
869
01:00:51.289 --> 01:00:53.710
the good life. Turned out she was a DVM, not
870
01:00:53.750 --> 01:01:01.079
an MD. Yes, but yeah, to that little portion of
871
01:01:01.119 --> 01:01:04.760
the article, but you men have a hard time with
872
01:01:04.840 --> 01:01:05.340
it too, Ted.
873
01:01:06.239 --> 01:01:10.159
Oh, well, but that's like, what do you mean? Please
874
01:01:10.179 --> 01:01:10.710
be specific.
875
01:01:11.280 --> 01:01:14.019
It said it said that when the women out earn
876
01:01:14.039 --> 01:01:18.400
that when women the women are the breadwinner. Yeah. Not
877
01:01:18.440 --> 01:01:22.510
from the keeper survey from the Pew survey. Pew surveyed
878
01:01:23.010 --> 01:01:26.590
like all couples, like all people, men, women, single, dating, whatever.
879
01:01:26.949 --> 01:01:30.789
And in the households that that had the female breadwinner,
880
01:01:30.809 --> 01:01:35.889
the men specifically, it's they felt anxiety.
881
01:01:36.619 --> 01:01:37.239
Two thirds.
882
01:01:37.300 --> 01:01:39.630
They were, yeah, felt psychological stress over it.
883
01:01:39.679 --> 01:01:42.170
Okay. But the thing is they're not, unfortunately we don't
884
01:01:42.230 --> 01:01:45.409
know what the cause of the psychological stress is here.
885
01:01:45.889 --> 01:01:48.530
I mean, is it insecurity? It's just like, oh, I
886
01:01:48.550 --> 01:01:51.050
should earn more than my wife or are their wives
887
01:01:51.090 --> 01:01:54.199
giving them a hard time for not earning as much as,
888
01:01:54.480 --> 01:01:56.519
as they do. I mean, we just don't know the cause.
889
01:01:57.239 --> 01:01:59.519
I would suspect it's probably like there's a bell curve
890
01:01:59.559 --> 01:02:03.139
there and it's probably a little bit of both. But it's,
891
01:02:03.760 --> 01:02:07.769
it's really kind of like, I mean, It's not surprising
892
01:02:07.829 --> 01:02:13.400
that men have bought into traditional gender role stereotype bullshit.
893
01:02:13.960 --> 01:02:18.679
I mean, we still live under patriarchy. What I don't
894
01:02:18.880 --> 01:02:24.849
understand is why successful upscale women would buy into that
895
01:02:24.969 --> 01:02:27.489
same stupid system that was trying to keep them down.
896
01:02:28.570 --> 01:02:34.260
Right. That's what I'm saying. It's ingrained. Thousands and thousands
897
01:02:34.300 --> 01:02:39.090
of years ago, ingrained into our society all around the world,
898
01:02:39.610 --> 01:02:42.239
all around the world. So ladies. All right.
899
01:02:42.260 --> 01:02:44.000
We got to wrap it soon. We got to go.
900
01:02:44.019 --> 01:02:44.960
We got to move on.
901
01:02:45.300 --> 01:02:45.539
One more.
902
01:02:46.260 --> 01:02:51.840
That's what she said. All right.
903
01:02:51.860 --> 01:02:55.449
A passenger on American airlines apparently decided that the seatbelt
904
01:02:55.550 --> 01:02:59.610
sign was the only rule to follow. Law enforcement officers
905
01:03:00.469 --> 01:03:05.659
greeted flight 1779 at Miami international and after a lady
906
01:03:05.760 --> 01:03:09.889
allegedly removed all of her clothing and then engaged in
907
01:03:10.050 --> 01:03:15.690
unspecified indecent acts in front of other passengers. The Airbus
908
01:03:15.789 --> 01:03:20.610
A319 left Baltimore Washington International Airport about two hours late,
909
01:03:21.530 --> 01:03:23.929
which might make a lot of people decide to strip naked,
910
01:03:24.389 --> 01:03:27.480
and was headed to Miami when flight attendants reported a
911
01:03:27.519 --> 01:03:32.860
disturbance involving the woman in 9D. Crew members contacted the
912
01:03:32.900 --> 01:03:37.480
cockpit through the plane's digital communication system and requested the police.
913
01:03:37.960 --> 01:03:43.789
The aircraft continued on to Miami without diversion, landed at 11.23 p.m.
914
01:03:44.369 --> 01:03:49.210
Officers were waiting and took the naked passenger into custody.
915
01:03:49.670 --> 01:03:53.210
She has not been identified. They have not disclosed possible
916
01:03:53.250 --> 01:03:57.610
charges or explained what the crew did to manage the situation.
917
01:03:58.710 --> 01:04:02.090
Since COVID, airlines have faced a sharp increase in freaked
918
01:04:02.170 --> 01:04:06.690
out passengers, with some treating commercial aircraft as bars, bedrooms,
919
01:04:07.070 --> 01:04:11.639
boxing rinks, and occasionally psychiatric waiting rooms. The FAA recorded
920
01:04:11.920 --> 01:04:16.320
almost 6,000 unruly passenger reports in 2021. That's the biggest
921
01:04:16.360 --> 01:04:22.250
on record. Of those, 4,300 involved There's disputes over masks. Well,
922
01:04:22.369 --> 01:04:24.789
we're not going to have that anymore. Reports later fell
923
01:04:24.829 --> 01:04:29.460
more than 80%, but the FAA says that recent increases
924
01:04:29.500 --> 01:04:33.320
show there's still a problem. Interfering with a crew member
925
01:04:33.820 --> 01:04:36.559
can cause you to be prosecuted, and you might have
926
01:04:36.579 --> 01:04:40.659
to pay as much as $ 44, 000 each time you do something.
927
01:04:41.840 --> 01:04:46.130
In 2023, a United passenger tried to open an emergency
928
01:04:46.170 --> 01:04:50.500
door before attacking a flight attendant. with a broken metal spoon.
929
01:04:51.039 --> 01:04:54.300
He got 26 months in prison and a five-year ban
930
01:04:54.340 --> 01:04:55.610
from commercial aviation.
931
01:04:56.150 --> 01:04:56.849
Only five!
932
01:04:57.789 --> 01:05:02.650
In 2024, an American flight diverted after a passenger exposed
933
01:05:02.690 --> 01:05:06.630
himself and peed in the aisle. Maybe the bathroom was locked.
934
01:05:07.070 --> 01:05:11.260
The same year, a Virgin Australia flight turned around after
935
01:05:11.300 --> 01:05:14.480
a naked dude ran through the cabin and knocked over
936
01:05:14.539 --> 01:05:16.619
a crew member. Knocking over the crew member seems like
937
01:05:16.659 --> 01:05:20.650
the least of the problems. Um, but yeah, so people be,
938
01:05:20.670 --> 01:05:22.630
be losing their minds in the friendly skies.
939
01:05:23.409 --> 01:05:26.969
Okay. But running naked, is that really worth turning the
940
01:05:27.030 --> 01:05:30.679
flight around? Like I'm turning this, if you don't put
941
01:05:30.719 --> 01:05:33.619
your clothes back on Bobby, I'm turning this car around
942
01:05:33.960 --> 01:05:34.639
and going home.
943
01:05:34.940 --> 01:05:35.219
Yeah.
944
01:05:35.260 --> 01:05:35.500
Mr.
945
01:05:35.539 --> 01:05:36.079
Naked man.
946
01:05:36.920 --> 01:05:41.230
Like, yeah, I mean, naked. Yeah.
947
01:05:41.469 --> 01:05:44.650
It's not good, but it's not, it's not really that
948
01:05:44.690 --> 01:05:45.590
big a deal really.
949
01:05:45.690 --> 01:05:49.969
Yeah. Like, But like this naked woman, and this is
950
01:05:50.010 --> 01:05:51.750
in my neck of the woods, right? Like she was
951
01:05:51.769 --> 01:05:54.340
flying out of BWI, I guess, and going to Miami.
952
01:05:56.960 --> 01:06:00.300
You know, people go to Miami, Ted. That's not... They do.
953
01:06:00.320 --> 01:06:03.840
They're usually going to party, right? Like they're... I mean,
954
01:06:03.880 --> 01:06:07.989
some people live there, sure. There's legitimate reasons. But I'll
955
01:06:08.030 --> 01:06:10.889
tell you this because I've done it from here because
956
01:06:10.929 --> 01:06:13.230
I have business purposes to have to go to Miami.
957
01:06:14.449 --> 01:06:20.909
Generally speaking... there at BWI, when you're flying from BWI
958
01:06:21.429 --> 01:06:25.010
to Miami, it's a short hop flight. Like it's, it's
959
01:06:25.050 --> 01:06:29.309
you're up and then you're down. Right. Um, half the
960
01:06:29.369 --> 01:06:32.469
flight are like people, normal people. The other half of
961
01:06:32.489 --> 01:06:35.050
the flight are people going down to party.
962
01:06:35.630 --> 01:06:36.329
Yeah, of course.
963
01:06:37.110 --> 01:06:44.860
For the weekend. So I'm curious as to perhaps what
964
01:06:45.050 --> 01:06:50.510
sort of, um, alcoholic beverages this woman may have had.
965
01:06:50.710 --> 01:06:51.230
What others?
966
01:06:51.349 --> 01:06:54.449
I would imagine there was at least one involved.
967
01:06:55.130 --> 01:06:58.710
Party enhancements that she might have had.
968
01:06:59.010 --> 01:06:59.909
Good question, yeah.
969
01:07:00.130 --> 01:07:05.469
Planning to go to Miami. And the report wanted to
970
01:07:05.530 --> 01:07:08.090
be vague because they want to keep us family friendly, Ted.
971
01:07:09.030 --> 01:07:14.090
They didn't specify what sort of indecent acts she was doing.
972
01:07:14.559 --> 01:07:18.880
Well, she might've been watching like terrible movies.
973
01:07:20.280 --> 01:07:25.159
So indecent. I mean, I'm, I'm curious to know the details.
974
01:07:25.219 --> 01:07:30.550
The police won't release the details. Um, and nine D
975
01:07:30.550 --> 01:07:33.369
doesn't that put her squarely like in business class, maybe
976
01:07:33.429 --> 01:07:33.969
first class.
977
01:07:34.030 --> 01:07:36.110
Nah, not, not at all.
978
01:07:36.630 --> 01:07:37.489
Are you kidding?
979
01:07:37.570 --> 01:07:41.590
Yeah. I mean like on an, on a midsize plane. No,
980
01:07:41.610 --> 01:07:44.090
you could easily be, that could easily be a, uh,
981
01:07:45.820 --> 01:07:48.190
That's at the front of Coach, admittedly, but yeah.
982
01:07:49.670 --> 01:07:51.510
Oh, okay. Well, I was going to say, if she
983
01:07:51.530 --> 01:07:53.730
was in business class, like, hmm, she was on the
984
01:07:53.769 --> 01:07:54.230
good stuff.
985
01:07:57.010 --> 01:07:58.929
Yeah, no, that's true. No, I don't think she would
986
01:07:58.949 --> 01:08:00.130
have done that in business class.
987
01:08:00.150 --> 01:08:02.190
I mean, typically.
988
01:08:02.210 --> 01:08:04.210
All right, all right. To be honest, I'm going to
989
01:08:04.269 --> 01:08:06.429
just say, and I have no, I mean, I have
990
01:08:06.510 --> 01:08:08.980
reason to suspect this, but it's not like I know
991
01:08:09.019 --> 01:08:14.840
anything about her. I bet we're talking bath salts. Because Florida?
992
01:08:14.860 --> 01:08:14.940
Yeah.
993
01:08:15.380 --> 01:08:20.960
Yeah, because Florida. And also, so apparently bath salts cause
994
01:08:21.939 --> 01:08:27.279
your body to overheat. And so victims often feel overwhelmingly
995
01:08:27.720 --> 01:08:31.300
urged to strip down because they're so overheated, their body's
996
01:08:31.479 --> 01:08:35.680
burning up. And so there's all sorts of reports of Floridian,
997
01:08:35.920 --> 01:08:39.859
like bath salts, overdose victims running around naked in the streets.
998
01:08:43.210 --> 01:08:47.020
Because they're like, they're just, It's like they're going through menopause.
999
01:08:47.060 --> 01:08:47.399
They're like.
1000
01:08:48.119 --> 01:08:51.649
Yeah. Yeah. Basically, they're having hot flashes to the nth degree.
1001
01:08:51.699 --> 01:08:52.739
So they lose their minds.
1002
01:08:53.869 --> 01:08:54.529
Interesting.
1003
01:08:55.060 --> 01:08:59.899
I bet it's a bath salt situation. And that's why
1004
01:08:59.920 --> 01:09:02.880
she was acting crazy, too. They act crazy.
1005
01:09:03.039 --> 01:09:06.779
They won't tell the media what the details are surrounding
1006
01:09:06.819 --> 01:09:11.090
this particular woman, which is weird because usually in these
1007
01:09:11.550 --> 01:09:16.170
bad-behaved passenger stories, you get details and you get video.
1008
01:09:16.649 --> 01:09:19.189
None of that is out. There was a guy recently...
1009
01:09:19.500 --> 01:09:22.819
Did you see the guy recently on another domestic flight?
1010
01:09:23.619 --> 01:09:26.579
I don't know what was happening with the dude, but
1011
01:09:26.619 --> 01:09:31.619
I saw the video that the crew and passengers.
1012
01:09:32.649 --> 01:09:33.350
Oh yeah.
1013
01:09:33.890 --> 01:09:37.010
Masking or he was like a realtor, right? I don't know.
1014
01:09:37.069 --> 01:09:39.529
I don't remember, but I just saw the video and he, they,
1015
01:09:39.810 --> 01:09:41.909
they duct taped him to the seat.
1016
01:09:41.970 --> 01:09:44.909
Like his arms were like a Kimbo, like, like even
1017
01:09:44.930 --> 01:09:48.140
like around his head. And you know, that's not going
1018
01:09:48.159 --> 01:09:49.420
to feel good when it comes off.
1019
01:09:51.720 --> 01:09:55.090
So I, I feel like we're, we're seeing more and
1020
01:09:55.149 --> 01:09:57.569
more and more of this. So look, I'm going to,
1021
01:09:57.609 --> 01:10:02.949
I'm going to get a little more, more logical about
1022
01:10:03.010 --> 01:10:06.630
this and maybe, you know, veer into the world of
1023
01:10:06.869 --> 01:10:09.060
psychology here a little bit. Do you remember a few
1024
01:10:09.100 --> 01:10:13.140
months ago, we did a story about the transpo secretary,
1025
01:10:13.199 --> 01:10:18.380
Sean Duffy suggesting that, to people online that he's tired
1026
01:10:18.420 --> 01:10:21.199
of seeing people go to the airport in their pajamas and,
1027
01:10:21.420 --> 01:10:25.119
you know, and sweatpants and flip flops and whatever. He's
1028
01:10:25.140 --> 01:10:28.189
like travel, you know, it used to be a privilege
1029
01:10:28.229 --> 01:10:30.930
and people used to wear suits and ties and dresses.
1030
01:10:32.270 --> 01:10:35.210
It also wasn't a miserable experience.
1031
01:10:35.270 --> 01:10:39.210
Right. He's like, let's bring that grandeur back to travel.
1032
01:10:39.270 --> 01:10:42.050
But I mean, I'm all for it. Yeah, I'm sure.
1033
01:10:42.109 --> 01:10:45.250
So he was, he was saying that, right. To his,
1034
01:10:45.369 --> 01:10:47.289
I don't, I'm, I'm one of these.
1035
01:10:47.310 --> 01:10:49.949
My mom wore white gloves in the 60s when she flew.
1036
01:10:50.510 --> 01:10:53.649
How beautiful. I mean, that was then. This is now, Ted.
1037
01:10:54.170 --> 01:10:58.100
We're in my, you know, my Ugg boots, my Hello
1038
01:10:58.159 --> 01:11:01.760
Kitty pajama pants, and a hoodie. That is how this
1039
01:11:01.840 --> 01:11:02.659
manila travels.
1040
01:11:02.840 --> 01:11:03.979
You're dressing for comfort.
1041
01:11:04.020 --> 01:11:04.279
Yeah.
1042
01:11:04.439 --> 01:11:05.180
Not for speed.
1043
01:11:05.220 --> 01:11:08.479
I'm going to be stuck for God knows how long, wherever. Right.
1044
01:11:08.699 --> 01:11:08.970
Sure. I'm.
1045
01:11:09.760 --> 01:11:12.060
No, I'm not trying to look elegant going through TSA
1046
01:11:12.340 --> 01:11:16.760
before you credit card swipe my front and my back. Right, totally. No,
1047
01:11:17.000 --> 01:11:20.199
I'm not going to dress in a beautiful Oscar gown
1048
01:11:20.600 --> 01:11:26.869
to go through TSA. But to Sean Duffy's defense, there
1049
01:11:26.930 --> 01:11:30.010
is a psychological reason for that. And we all know
1050
01:11:30.050 --> 01:11:32.949
I'm qualified for this with my minor in psychology, Ted.
1051
01:11:33.409 --> 01:11:38.170
Of course. That would make you fully qualified.
1052
01:11:38.479 --> 01:11:43.340
I'm totally qualified. Is that like, you know how they
1053
01:11:43.380 --> 01:11:46.579
say dress for the job you want or dress for
1054
01:11:46.619 --> 01:11:50.010
the situation or any situation, right? So if you're dressed
1055
01:11:50.050 --> 01:11:52.050
like a slob, are you more likely to act like
1056
01:11:52.069 --> 01:11:52.829
a bath salts?
1057
01:11:55.270 --> 01:11:57.270
Yeah.
1058
01:11:57.289 --> 01:12:01.010
Or like if she was dressed to the nines in a,
1059
01:12:01.130 --> 01:12:04.920
in her Oscar gown, would she have behaved that crazily?
1060
01:12:04.979 --> 01:12:08.229
Would she have, I don't know, gotten drunk or taken
1061
01:12:08.270 --> 01:12:11.149
bath salts or done blow or whatever.
1062
01:12:11.210 --> 01:12:13.649
It's a valid question, but I think if you.
1063
01:12:13.529 --> 01:12:16.220
Take, you behave differently when you're dressed a certain way.
1064
01:12:16.489 --> 01:12:16.810
You do.
1065
01:12:17.100 --> 01:12:17.300
Yeah.
1066
01:12:17.579 --> 01:12:19.750
I mean, I know I feel that way when I,
1067
01:12:21.060 --> 01:12:23.819
I feel different when I'm wearing a suit, which granted
1068
01:12:23.859 --> 01:12:29.050
has been a long time. And I don't miss it really.
1069
01:12:29.239 --> 01:12:31.930
Believe it or not, when I'm dressed to like go
1070
01:12:31.970 --> 01:12:33.609
to an event or whatever, and I have to wear
1071
01:12:33.649 --> 01:12:36.590
a proper dress and, and high heels and whatever, like
1072
01:12:36.630 --> 01:12:39.470
say a wedding, let's say a wedding, right? Like I'm,
1073
01:12:40.989 --> 01:12:44.449
and we're talking me here, like real plain Jane life
1074
01:12:44.529 --> 01:12:47.640
in real life Manila, not TV Manila. This is real
1075
01:12:47.680 --> 01:12:51.439
life Manila, right? And I curse like a sailor. And I,
1076
01:12:51.500 --> 01:12:55.000
you know, like I'm, as they say, you can take
1077
01:12:55.020 --> 01:12:56.340
the girl out of the hood, but you can't take
1078
01:12:56.359 --> 01:12:59.279
the hood out of the girl. That's me, right? But
1079
01:12:59.319 --> 01:13:02.260
when I am dressed to go, let's say to a wedding,
1080
01:13:03.199 --> 01:13:11.359
I do find myself behaving more ladylike and not cursing
1081
01:13:11.420 --> 01:13:15.920
like a sailor sure and actually behaving a little more
1082
01:13:16.039 --> 01:13:20.590
demure than my normal everyday self so i there is
1083
01:13:20.630 --> 01:13:23.029
a little bit of psychology that's involved in in why
1084
01:13:23.109 --> 01:13:25.750
sean duffy was saying that and maybe this is why
1085
01:13:25.829 --> 01:13:29.789
man you're getting like thousands every year thousands of unruly
1086
01:13:29.810 --> 01:13:35.550
passengers trying to stab you with a broken spoon like Dude,
1087
01:13:35.829 --> 01:13:39.510
come on. Like a naked person running up and down
1088
01:13:39.550 --> 01:13:42.439
the aisle is like the least of the flight attendants concerns.
1089
01:13:42.699 --> 01:13:46.619
They're over here trying to ward off like, like jail shibs, right?
1090
01:13:46.659 --> 01:13:50.460
Like from passengers, like trying to stab them with broken silverware.
1091
01:13:50.500 --> 01:13:55.810
Like I'm just saying maybe, maybe Sean Duffy was onto something.
1092
01:13:56.930 --> 01:13:59.409
I'm not going to dress like that, but maybe that's
1093
01:13:59.869 --> 01:14:01.770
where that came from. Just an idea.
1094
01:14:03.229 --> 01:14:05.470
You know, I mean, I'm not going to dismiss that
1095
01:14:05.529 --> 01:14:08.489
out of hand. You know, I mean, it might just
1096
01:14:08.560 --> 01:14:11.460
be like, let's just say she took some sort of drug.
1097
01:14:13.859 --> 01:14:17.619
You know, if you're wearing a beautiful dress and white gloves,
1098
01:14:18.260 --> 01:14:20.859
maybe you're like, I'm not popping any drugs before I
1099
01:14:20.880 --> 01:14:22.970
get on the plane. You think of the plane as
1100
01:14:23.010 --> 01:14:28.829
a formal sacred space and we're good behavior. I mean, look,
1101
01:14:28.909 --> 01:14:31.949
the airline doesn't behave well to you. You know, they're
1102
01:14:31.989 --> 01:14:36.149
squeezing you in and treating you like shit. The TSA
1103
01:14:36.220 --> 01:14:40.340
thing is a disgrace. You know, the way you're treated.
1104
01:14:40.699 --> 01:14:46.520
Cook us like an expensive wild caught salmon, not like sardines.
1105
01:14:47.279 --> 01:14:50.130
Right, right, right, right, right. Come on.
1106
01:14:50.250 --> 01:14:52.390
Like if you're going to pack me away, like pack
1107
01:14:52.430 --> 01:14:56.729
me like expensive wild caught Alaskan salmon. Don't pack me
1108
01:14:57.289 --> 01:15:01.760
literally like a sardine in your flying tin cans. You
1109
01:15:01.800 --> 01:15:04.840
treat us like a sardine. We're going to behave like
1110
01:15:05.579 --> 01:15:07.739
little sardines. And I don't really know how those sardine
1111
01:15:07.779 --> 01:15:10.579
fish actually behave, Ted. I've never seen an alive one.
1112
01:15:11.000 --> 01:15:14.220
So I don't know. I feel like they'd be like
1113
01:15:14.260 --> 01:15:16.869
little wild little swimmers, but I don't know.
1114
01:15:17.329 --> 01:15:18.550
I don't know.
1115
01:15:18.569 --> 01:15:20.350
I've never seen an alive one. Have you ever seen
1116
01:15:20.390 --> 01:15:21.449
an alive sardine?
1117
01:15:21.470 --> 01:15:30.739
I don't believe so. No, only in the can. Exactly.
1118
01:15:30.960 --> 01:15:34.300
People don't have them. I don't think people... Do people
1119
01:15:34.319 --> 01:15:35.560
have them in aquariums?
1120
01:15:36.539 --> 01:15:39.569
I've never seen... I don't know. Anyone out there, now that...
1121
01:15:39.770 --> 01:15:41.020
I know this is a tangent, but I'm going to
1122
01:15:41.050 --> 01:15:45.090
pose this question and you guys let us know and
1123
01:15:45.130 --> 01:15:46.069
you can actually.
1124
01:15:46.449 --> 01:15:48.789
Unless you're a fisherman, then obviously you've seen sardines.
1125
01:15:48.810 --> 01:15:53.829
Well, no, I know, but where's our email? Email us,
1126
01:15:54.109 --> 01:15:58.149
tmishowquestion at yahoo.com. We have a weird question for you.
1127
01:15:58.609 --> 01:16:03.670
Have you ever seen... a live sardine. And where?
1128
01:16:05.010 --> 01:16:07.109
And was it driving away from the scene of a crime?
1129
01:16:09.710 --> 01:16:12.069
So there you go. We'll be back on Thursday. We're
1130
01:16:12.090 --> 01:16:16.390
still sorting out the kinks. Thank you for bearing with us. Hopefully,
1131
01:16:16.489 --> 01:16:19.340
and you know, once we figure out how the algorithms go,
1132
01:16:20.100 --> 01:16:22.159
maybe we'll be back more frequently. Maybe not.
1133
01:16:22.239 --> 01:16:22.539
I don't know.
1134
01:16:22.619 --> 01:16:25.760
It depends. We're testing things out. So bear with us.
1135
01:16:25.880 --> 01:16:33.170
Thank you, guys. Thank you, our regular Rumble live live consumers, viewers,
1136
01:16:34.090 --> 01:16:36.430
for coming back to see us Tuesdays and Thursdays for
1137
01:16:36.449 --> 01:16:40.720
the foreseeable future until otherwise notified. Thank you. We're done.
1138
01:16:41.859 --> 01:16:44.239
See you Thursday. Adios, amigos.
1139
01:16:44.899 --> 01:16:45.539
See you Thursday.
1140
01:16:45.760 --> 01:16:45.939
Bye.
1141
01:16:46.479 --> 01:16:46.760
Bye.
