now crossed the Rubicon. AI generated race
0:49
hoaxes are officially here. I'll tell you
0:51
about the first case which will certainly not
0:53
be the last unfortunately. Also Florida manages
0:55
to shut down its college protester encampments
0:57
in five minutes. How did they pull
0:59
that off? And we have yet another George

1:04
died while being detained by police as he shouted
1:06
that he can't breathe. Will riot season
1:08
begin again? And our daily cancellation a woman with tattoos
1:10
all over her face complains that she's having trouble finding
1:12
a job. Who could have seen that coming? We'll talk
1:14
about all that and more today on The Now All

2:43
in January, a television news crew with CBS
2:45
Baltimore showed up at the home of a
2:47
high school principal named Eric Eiswert looking for
2:50
an interview. And once the
2:52
crew arrived, they didn't record any newsworthy
2:54
footage whatsoever. Eric Eiswert wasn't even home.
2:57
Nevertheless, CBS went ahead and aired very clear
2:59
images of the man's house on their evening
3:02
broadcast. And they did that for one reason,
3:04
which is that a mob demanded it. At
3:06
the time, Eiswert was accused of
3:08
making racist, anti-black comments on tape
3:11
in front of several administrators at the school. Through
3:14
a representative, Eiswert had already denied making the
3:16
comments, but the media didn't care. It's
3:19
the kind of story the media loves to
3:21
report. You have a white principal at a
3:23
struggling, mostly black school who had supposedly validated
3:25
all of their paranoia about white supremacy. It's
3:27
a great story. So without
3:29
verifying the recording in any way, the
3:31
media immediately went to his home to
3:34
harass him. Watch. Now
3:37
to other news you're following tonight.
3:39
A disturbing audio recording is circulating
3:41
in the Baltimore County community tonight.
3:43
The recording is allegedly the principal
3:45
of Pikesville High School making racist
3:47
and anti-Semitic comments about students, community
3:49
members, and staff. My name is-
3:51
Pikesville High School's principal, Eric Eiswert,
3:53
is in hot water over an
3:55
audio recording, making rounds on social
3:57
media containing racist and anti-Semitic comments.
4:00
He needs to be removed from the
4:02
school ASAP. Davina McCain son is a student
4:04
at Pikesville High, but to hear him say
4:06
that about kids. That's horrible. I
4:09
mean, absolutely horrible. WJZ is choosing
4:11
not to air the recording at this
4:13
time because we are unable to verify
4:15
the authenticity of it, but in it,
4:18
a person purported to be the principal
4:20
can be heard making disparaging comments about
4:22
the test scores of African American students.
4:24
The person on the recording then makes
4:26
an offensive comment about an African American
4:28
staff member at the school and members
4:31
of the Pikesville Jewish community. WJZ
4:33
stopped by Icewort's home to see if he
4:35
had a comment about the recording. Hi, I'm
4:38
looking for Principal Icewort. He's
4:40
at home right now. A person spoke to
4:42
us through the front door. I
4:48
mean, I'm here to hear his story. Now,
4:55
whatever possible justification those reporters thought they had
4:57
for going to the principal's home, it was
4:59
over when they got there and he didn't
5:01
answer the door. That's the moment the
5:03
CBS news crew should have packed
5:05
their cameras up and gone back
5:07
to the station. But they didn't.
5:10
Instead, they spoke to some unnamed person behind
5:12
the door and they aired that footage instead
5:14
so that millions of people could see exactly
5:17
what the front of this principal's house looks
5:19
like. And they did that
5:21
after heavily implying that he said horrible racist things
5:23
on a recording, even though they admit that they
5:25
haven't authenticated the recording and they
5:28
say they can't even play it on air because of how
5:30
unreliable the recording may be. So
5:32
all in all, this is what journalistic malpractice looks
5:35
like. And we've seen many examples
5:37
of this kind of thing. But
5:39
CBS wasn't alone. The local NBC news
5:41
affiliate had similar coverage. They didn't play
5:43
the recording of these alleged racist comments
5:46
either, but they did
5:48
speak to several students who said
5:50
confidently that this principal needed to
5:52
resign immediately. Watch. Kyrie
5:55
Stewart joins us live outside of the school. And Kyrie, you
5:57
spoke with students and parents, so what do they have to
5:59
say about all this? Yes,
6:01
well this has pretty much the whole community talking. You
6:03
know, since we've been out here, we've had parents and
6:05
students just come up to us and tell us just
6:07
how shocking and disturbed they are by all of this.
6:10
In fact, I want you all to take a look
6:12
at this video out of an abundance of caution.
6:14
Police officers were actually at the school today, you know,
6:17
just for safety reasons. Now, we're not
6:19
going to air the recording, but in it,
6:21
the person has heard making offensive and inappropriate
6:23
comments about black students, the Pikesville Jewish community,
6:25
and members of the high school staff. Now
6:27
again, we spoke with parents and students who
6:30
told us that they're shocked to hear the recording. Take
6:32
a listen to what they have to say. It's
6:36
on social media now, so it's just like, and
6:38
I go to Pikesville and it's like all over
6:40
the place, so it's just like weird. I honestly
6:42
think he should be fired. I don't think that
6:44
there should be, I don't think he should be
6:46
working with children if he's
6:48
going to be speaking that way towards people. He shouldn't work
6:50
with people at all. Okay,
6:53
so the police are called in because they're
6:56
worried about violence at the school. Meanwhile, the
6:58
reporters are visiting this man's home and broadcasting
7:00
footage of where he lives, and
7:03
the news stations are insinuating that this principal said
7:05
something so horrible that they can't even air it
7:07
on television. Now, to be
7:09
fair, they didn't have to air it
7:11
because other media outlets were spreading it all over the
7:13
Internet. Philip Lewis, the deputy
7:15
editor of Huffington Post, posted the
7:17
audio along with a message
7:20
implying the principal's guilt. Here's what he wrote at the
7:22
time, back in January. He said, quote, Baltimore
7:25
County Public Schools is investigating the principal
7:27
at Pikesville High for alleged derogatory remarks
7:29
about students and staff. A
7:31
voice believed to be the principal can be heard
7:33
ranting about black students and Jewish families. Well,
7:37
who exactly believed the voice to be the
7:39
principal and whoever those people are,
7:41
are they reliable? Huffington
7:44
Post editor doesn't say that's that's not
7:46
clarified. He certainly didn't investigate
7:48
the recording himself. But in reply to Phillips
7:50
Post, a lot of people called for the
7:52
principal's termination anyway. One person
7:54
said, what's there to investigate? And
7:57
that was a common sentiment like, well, here it is. the
8:00
social media mob, we have him
8:02
on tape, dead to rights, he's obviously racist.
8:06
So here is the audio of
8:08
the principal's alleged racist meltdown
8:11
which the Huffington Post guy posted
8:13
and which went viral at
8:15
the time. Here it is. You're
8:17
me and only me. You know, I seriously
8:20
don't understand why I have to constantly put
8:23
up with these dumbasses here every day. Between
8:28
these ungrateful black kids who can't test their way
8:30
out of a paper bag or these
8:32
teachers who don't get it, how hard is it to
8:34
get these students to meet their grade level expectations? Lawrence
8:38
and Ravenel should have never been hired. And
8:42
don't let me get started on DJ. I'm going to drag his black
8:45
ass out of here one way or another. I'm going
8:48
to get something to stick. I'm
8:50
just so sick of the inadequacies of these people.
8:55
And if I have to get one more complaint from
8:57
one more Jew in this community, I'm going to join
8:59
the other side. Kathy, I'm done. Now
9:05
maybe you heard this back when it was first circulating.
9:07
I remember hearing it at the time. And
9:10
it seemed authentic
9:13
to me on a technical level
9:15
at least. It didn't sound digitally
9:18
altered necessarily. It sounds like a person,
9:20
some person anyway, saying those things.
9:24
But it also sounds strangely
9:26
off in a few
9:28
different ways. It was obviously suspicious for a
9:30
principal in Baltimore of all places to
9:33
say these kinds of things in front of other
9:35
people. People with these kinds of views aren't getting
9:37
hired to teach in Baltimore, much less run the
9:39
schools. And everything
9:42
he says is so over the top, even in
9:44
the context of a supposedly racist rant. He's attacking
9:46
black kids and Jewish people in the span of
9:48
45 seconds for some reason. It's
9:50
like listening to a leftist comic book
9:53
idea of what a bigoted school administrator
9:55
would sound like. I'm going to
9:57
drag his black ass out of here. white
10:00
principle in saying that. It's
10:02
just not going to happen. And
10:04
then the line at the end, I'm going to join
10:06
the other side is, is it doesn't make any sense,
10:09
but it's so on the nose as to be almost
10:11
comical. But local
10:13
news media in Baltimore didn't share any
10:15
of this skepticism. One popular talk show suggested
10:17
that the table is almost certainly legitimate because
10:20
the voice in the recording mentioned specific people
10:22
at the school by name. That
10:25
was the reasoning. It can't possibly be
10:27
fake because someone put the bare minimum amount
10:29
of effort into it to make it seem
10:31
legitimate, which must mean that it is legitimate.
10:36
Investigating this to determine whether or not it's real or
10:38
not. And if it were, if it were me and
10:40
I was still in office, I would wait. I
10:42
would wait until authenticating this type
10:44
of thing. And less, unless these
10:48
folks know something about this principle that
10:50
we don't know, well,
10:54
then whoever did this is really good
10:57
at that. And I just find it
10:59
hard to believe that there's someone associated
11:01
with Pikesville high school that has so
11:03
much of an axe to grind that
11:06
they're willing to get this incredibly good
11:10
artificial intelligence recording and make it sound
11:12
so real and personal to the story
11:14
that is at Pikesville high school. Right?
11:16
Because he talks about specific people. Yes,
11:18
he did this as well. Right. And
11:21
he's got specific, he mentioned a
11:23
couple of names. He's got specific grievances
11:26
as well. So I mean,
11:28
what are the chances of this being AI for
11:30
me? Very, very, very, very,
11:32
very, very small. What
11:35
are the chances? I mean, how could that possibly
11:37
happen? That could never happen. And how
11:39
could anyone at the school possibly have an axe
11:42
to grind? How could any faculty member conceivably want
11:44
to concoct some race hoax in order to bring
11:46
down the principle? When did people ever lie about
11:48
being victims of racism? Somehow
11:51
that kind of thinking still exists in this country
11:53
in 2024, after about 10 million other race hoaxes
11:56
have been exposed. But even
11:58
so to the great surprise. virtually every media
12:01
outlet in Baltimore. The ruse came
12:03
crashing down yesterday when we learned that
12:05
this recording is indeed yet
12:07
another race hoax.
12:09
That's exactly what it was. The principal
12:11
never said any of the things on
12:13
that recording. There was no recording. It
12:16
was all created by AI. Watch.
12:20
On January 17, 2024, the
12:23
Baltimore County Police
12:25
Department became aware of a voice
12:27
recording being circulated on social media.
12:30
It was alleged the voice captured
12:33
on the audio file belonged to
12:35
Mr. Eric Eiswerk, the principal at
12:37
the Pikesville High School. We
12:40
now have conclusively, we
12:43
have now conclusive evidence that the
12:45
recording was not authentic. The
12:48
Baltimore County Police Department reached
12:50
that determination after conducting an
12:52
extensive investigation which included bringing
12:55
in a forensic analyst contracted
12:57
with the FBI to review
12:59
the recording. The
13:02
results of the analysis indicated
13:04
the recording contained traces of
13:06
AI generated content.
13:10
Detectives obtained a second expert
13:12
opinion from a forensic analyst
13:14
with the University of California,
13:16
Berkeley, who also determined the
13:19
recording was not authentic. Based
13:22
off of those findings and
13:24
further investigation, it's been determined
13:27
the recording was generated through
13:29
the use of artificial intelligence
13:31
technology. Through their
13:33
investigation, detectives alleged Mr. Darien, who
13:35
was the athletic director at the
13:38
high school, made the
13:40
recording to retaliate against the principal
13:42
who had launched an investigation into
13:44
the potential mishandling of school funds.
14:00
Does Baltimore even exist? I don't know. That's
14:02
the era we're living in now. But in any
14:05
event, in this case, the audio was generated by
14:07
an AI program that's extremely simple to use. All
14:09
you have to do is upload a short audio
14:11
file containing a voice. It can be just a
14:13
single sentence. And then you can have the AI
14:15
say whatever you want in that person's voice. Now,
14:18
police have, as you just heard, arrested the
14:21
school's athletic director, a 31-year-old man named Dazon
14:23
Darien, and charged him with creating
14:25
this AI voice file. Specifically, he's been hit
14:27
with a variety of offenses, including stalking, theft,
14:31
disruption of school operations. What
14:33
would Darien's motivation be for making up a fake
14:35
recording like this? Well, it turns out that he
14:38
was under investigation by the principal for allegedly paying
14:40
teachers under the table using school
14:42
funds. And there
14:44
was also other alleged misconduct as well. So Darien's
14:46
contract wasn't being renewed. And in response,
14:48
he decided to generate fake evidence that he
14:50
was being fired because he's black.
14:53
And in the recording, the principal supposedly says that
14:55
he needs to get rid of black employees by
14:57
any means necessary, including DJ, which is
15:00
Darien's nickname. DJ is the guy whose black ass
15:02
is going to be dragged out of here according
15:04
to the recording. That's him.
15:06
And then Darien allegedly shared the audio
15:08
file with another teacher, who's a black
15:10
woman who has since resigned. And
15:13
then she in turn shared it with a student who put it
15:15
on social media. As of now,
15:17
nobody else has been charged with any wrongdoing
15:20
except this athletic director. Now, the
15:22
quick aside, you notice what
15:24
Darien chose to include in the fake audio. There's
15:27
an angry complaint in there about black students
15:29
performing poorly on test scores. It's
15:32
interesting that this is something the athletic director
15:34
thought to include in his fake racist screed.
15:37
That's how broken Baltimore schools are now. The
15:40
only impassioned comments you'll hear about
15:42
black students failing their tests is
15:44
in an AI generated deep fake
15:46
designed to destroy the life of
15:48
the school's white principal. And
15:51
that's one thing I thought when I heard that recording, I said,
15:53
like, some of the language here is not great,
15:55
but like, at least he cares about it. I didn't know. I
15:57
didn't know the administrators of these schools actually even cared
15:59
that much about the fact that these kids are failing
16:01
their tests. At least there's some passion
16:04
here. I don't know. Look on the bright
16:06
side. No, it turns out, no, no, that was all
16:08
fake. But this
16:10
case was apparently solved by analysts who
16:13
determined conclusively that the recording was AI. And
16:15
for some reason, the media apparently didn't speak
16:17
to any of these analysts in January when
16:19
they were visiting the principal at his home.
16:22
But the Baltimore banner interviewed several of these experts
16:24
last month and they determined with 99% certainty that
16:26
they were dealing with
16:28
AI based on some telltale signs.
16:30
One of the experts said, quote, there's
16:32
some signs of editing like putting different
16:35
pieces together. This has the sound features
16:37
of AI generation. The tone is a
16:39
little flat. Additionally, there was a lack
16:41
of consistent breathing, breathing sounds or
16:43
pauses in the recording, as well as
16:45
unusually clean background sounds. The
16:48
analysts also noted, quote, sudden and
16:50
incredibly short stops between bits of dialogue
16:52
that indicate the absence of sound, which
16:54
itself indicates some level of file manipulation.
16:57
So this is pretty open and shut at
17:00
a technical level. If you know what you're
17:02
listening for, which most people don't, they don't.
17:06
It was not a sophisticated deep fake at all.
17:10
Which is very troubling, because even then, even though
17:12
it was not sophisticated, it took months until the
17:14
truth came out. And this principle could clear his
17:17
name. That's how long it took the FBI, Berkeley
17:19
and several other AI experts to
17:21
vindicate this man. What this means
17:23
is that we have officially entered into a new
17:25
era of race hoaxes. And
17:27
we all knew that this would
17:29
happen eventually. This was going to
17:31
happen. And now, well, we have crossed the
17:33
Rubicon. And sad
17:36
to say, it's only going to get worse from here. We
17:39
already know there's a deep desire and willingness
17:41
among many people to frame innocent people as
17:43
racist and bigots. And
17:46
AI will be used relentlessly to that end. And that's another
17:48
reason why the objections
17:50
from that radio host are so absurd. But why
17:53
would anyone ever do this? What do you mean people do this all
17:55
the time? People get, we have
17:57
fake claims of racism constantly. It's
18:01
just that until now, nobody has used AI. But
18:04
of course, if they have that ability, of course they're going to do
18:06
it. And before
18:08
long, the technology will advance to the point that
18:11
even experts won't be able to identify AI quite
18:13
as easily. The tone
18:15
of the audio will be less flat. There won't
18:17
be any awkward spots in the recording. They'll
18:20
be able to... All of these problems
18:23
that signal to experts that it's AI,
18:25
well, the people that are developing this technology, they know
18:28
about those rough spots and they're going to iron
18:30
those out. What
18:32
happens then? Keep in mind again that this
18:34
fake recording, which does at least sound like a
18:36
real human being, at least it does to me,
18:39
was made by some dumb race hoaxer
18:41
working at a public school. I
18:44
mean, what could someone with a bit more expertise
18:46
and access to better technology do even now with
18:49
our current technology? And
18:51
what happens when the video deepfakes become as
18:53
convincing as the audio ones? Then
18:55
we're going to have real problems. Fake
18:58
hate crimes will be the least of our worries.
19:00
We're talking about the total destabilization of society. That's
19:03
what we're facing. Imagine
19:05
AI generated videos of police officers
19:07
killing unarmed black suspects. Is
19:10
there any doubt that that kind of video would cause
19:12
nationwide riots? A few weeks ago,
19:14
an armed black criminal out on pretrial release
19:17
actually shot at police officers on camera and
19:19
the media still nominated the shooter as their
19:22
new George Floyd. And
19:24
that's just the beginning. Picture
19:26
AI generated politicians committing
19:29
gaffes or caught in scandalous positions
19:33
or declaring war. What happens when AI Joe
19:35
Biden announces, say, a ground invasion of Russia
19:37
at 7 p.m., just as the
19:39
real Joe Biden falls asleep? You
19:42
can imagine the hysteria, especially when an AI
19:44
generated Karen Jean-Pere heads
19:47
to the fake podium to confirm it. It's
19:50
obvious to me that we need some kind of legislation
19:52
in place to stave off the catastrophe that we can
19:55
all see coming. And
19:57
Unfortunately, judging by the fact that it took several months
19:59
to disprove, The A I hope that's clear that
20:01
most people aren't ready for that conversation. Millions.
20:04
Of people see I generate eclipse that A from what
20:06
they already believe and they don't have any interest in
20:09
checking if the clip is real or not. In
20:12
this case, the I clip of the principal
20:14
supposedly affirmed the fiction that White supremacy as
20:17
alive and well in Baltimore. It
20:20
was too good to check so he went viral immediately.
20:23
That's why the Ai generated narratives will keep coming,
20:26
as why the number of victims will continue to
20:28
rise. As.
20:30
Why? to save not only jobs and
20:32
reputations but also in the future lives?
20:35
We. Need to rein in this technology while we
20:37
still can. Have kids
20:39
or five and let's. Row

21:45
We talked about the wrong way to
21:47
handle these pro Palestinian Campus protest Sprague
21:50
Abbott. you know, signaling the people be
21:52
arrested for anti semitism and hate speech,
21:54
Framing this explicitly as a war against
21:56
free speech and political expression or that
21:58
was the wrong way. as
22:00
I explained in great detail. So let's look now
22:02
at the right way. And for that we turn
22:04
as always to Florida. Reading from
22:07
the Tallahassee Democrat, as pro-Palestinian student protests
22:09
intensify on college campuses across the nation,
22:11
about 40 Florida State University students set
22:13
up an encampment on Landis Green early
22:16
Thursday morning, but the Occupy Landis
22:18
movement was short-lived. Campus police made the students
22:20
take down a handful of tents that were
22:22
set up for a mere five minutes on
22:24
the grassy space pre-dawn due
22:26
to FSU regulation 2.007,
22:30
which prohibits camping on university lands according to
22:32
a university spokesperson. So
22:36
five minutes. So Florida State got their encampment
22:38
down in five minutes. Not five days, five
22:41
minutes. Meanwhile over
22:43
at the University of Florida, they also
22:45
dispersed the campsite pretty quickly.
22:47
And all they had to do was
22:49
circulate a flyer. And I want to show you, here's what the flyer
22:53
says. And here's the caption from
22:55
somebody named Stu on Twitter, identifies
22:58
himself as a citizen journalist. His
23:00
caption is breaking University of Florida students
23:02
chose to break down their encampment after
23:04
being handed this allowable
23:08
activities and prohibitive items and
23:10
activities flyer. University
23:14
of Florida's chapter of Young Democratic Socialists of
23:16
America said, UFPD handed out
23:19
flyers with draconian new regulations on them,
23:21
clearly designed to stop our liberation zone.
23:23
They will not win. Okay. Well, here's
23:25
what the flyer says. Allowable
23:27
activities, speech, expressing
23:29
viewpoints, holding signs in hands,
23:33
prohibitive items and activities, no
23:36
amplified sound, no demonstrations inside
23:38
buildings, no littering, no camping,
23:40
no sleeping, no unmanned signs,
23:42
no blocking, egress, no building
23:44
structures, chairs, stakes, benches, tables,
23:48
no camping, including tents, sleeping bags, pillows,
23:50
etc. No disruption, no threats, no violence,
23:52
no weapons. And then at the
23:54
end, it says consequences for non-compliance, individuals
23:57
found responsible for engaging in prohibited
23:59
activities. shall be trespassed from the
24:01
campus. Students will receive a three-year trespass and
24:03
suspension. Employees will be trespassed
24:05
and separated from employment. Perfect,
24:08
well done. You know,
24:10
it's that simple. It is that easy. As
24:12
I've been saying all along, it is so easy to
24:14
deal with this problem. It's so easy
24:16
that it's not even really a problem, or at least
24:18
it shouldn't be. It is so easy to solve. And
24:22
especially when you're dealing with people
24:24
who don't, they don't want to
24:26
experience real consequence. These are not,
24:28
these left-wing protests especially on college
24:30
campuses, especially on Ivy League campuses,
24:33
most of all, not the University of Florida's an
24:35
Ivy League campus, but these are not,
24:37
like, these are not people who are so
24:40
desperate that they've got nothing to lose and
24:43
they're willing to suffer any consequence for their
24:45
beliefs. They're not. They're
24:47
actually not willing to suffer really any consequence,
24:51
but it works out for them because most of the time
24:53
there aren't any consequences. So
24:55
all you have to do is put
24:58
some real consequences in place and all
25:00
of this goes away that quickly. So
25:03
you notice how they handle it, right? Notice first
25:06
what they didn't say, University of Florida. They
25:08
didn't say that certain kinds of speech
25:10
aren't allowed, except for threats
25:12
of violence, but they didn't say
25:15
that certain points of view aren't allowed, right?
25:17
They didn't say that. They did not
25:19
condemn hate speech. They
25:22
didn't say anything about antisemitism because
25:25
that's irrelevant. It's got nothing to do with it. That's
25:28
not the issue. They
25:30
didn't frame this as some kind of crackdown
25:32
on speech as Greg Abbott did. Instead,
25:34
they said speech and political expression are
25:37
allowed, but if you're gonna do it,
25:40
you need to follow the rules and they're the
25:42
same rules as everybody else. Now,
25:44
while these protestors are saying, oh, they're inventing
25:46
new draconian restrictions. No, they're not.
25:48
These are the restrictions that are in place for
25:50
everybody. And you know something? If I wanted
25:53
to organize a protest at University of Florida or
25:55
any of these college campuses, I
25:58
would certainly be expected to follow. The
26:00
same role. In fact, Now I wouldn't be allowed to
26:02
do the protests in the first place, But. I'm.
26:06
What's. Your say, any conservative? Yeah let's
26:08
say on any college campus wanted to
26:10
have a political demonstrations. They
26:12
would be absolutely expected.
26:15
To follow all of these rules?
26:17
Okay, no conservative group would ever
26:19
be allowed. On any college
26:22
campus Ever. To. Set up
26:24
tents and stay overnight. We.
26:27
All know that would never happen on know college campus
26:29
would they ever allows? And. If they
26:31
would not allow it's for anyone else then
26:33
why should they allowed to these people, you're
26:35
not special, You're not special. You follow the
26:38
same rules everybody else follows. That.
26:40
The same rules are not being
26:42
persecuted. Nothing specially targeted is just.
26:45
These are the rules and you will follow them the
26:47
same rules with zinc standard we all everybody to. Arm.
26:51
And. That's it. You know that. But that
26:53
also means like, don't don't go invent a
26:55
new policy. Don't go invent some new don't
26:57
don't have that. Don't do that You'll need
26:59
to. Write. Just
27:01
just hear the rules and follow those
27:04
rules. Are you know something?
27:06
If they do follow the rules? If these protesters follow those
27:08
rules, Are I just. They go into
27:10
the I'm They. They go there, they're outside
27:12
and and they're not. you know, trying to
27:14
set up a refugee camp outside. and they
27:17
have signs and they're expressing their viewpoint. Them.
27:20
Absolutely. I think there should be allowed to do that. For.
27:22
As long as they want and keep up for as long as they want.
27:27
But occupying, you know, setting
27:29
up a liberated zone? know?
27:32
Suggest you don't get that. I know on the
27:34
west you think the you're entitled to do that
27:36
because you you because you been allowed to do
27:38
it in so many contacts. but you're not. Nobody.
27:41
Else is allowed. Do that I wouldn't be allowed to do at
27:43
nobody on the right. There's ever a lot to do that you
27:45
should be allowed to do it. I'd. And.
27:50
It really is that simple. Worship.
27:54
nbc news has the support the can police
27:56
department ohio as release body camera footage from
27:58
the night a sixty three year old man
28:00
died after repeatedly told officers, I can't breathe,
28:03
as he was handcuffed with his hands behind his back and he was
28:05
pinned to the ground. In video of the
28:07
encounter on April 18th, the man, Frank Tyson, can
28:10
be seen lying motionless on the floor of a bar
28:12
for more than five minutes before police check him for
28:15
a pulse about eight minutes before CPR started.
28:17
In the nearly 36 minute video, police respond
28:19
to the scene of a single car crash
28:21
to find a downed power line, an unoccupied
28:23
vehicle, with a driver's side door open and
28:25
an airbag deployed. A man in
28:27
a white van whose face is blurred drives by,
28:29
tells police that the man responsible is at an
28:31
AMVETS lodge down the street. Officers enter the lodge.
28:34
A woman asks them to remove Tyson. When the
28:36
officers approach him, he knocks over a bar stool
28:38
and tells them to get the sheriff.
28:42
They then attempt to handcuff him. Police identified
28:45
Beau Schonegg and Camden Burch as
28:47
the two primary officers respond to the call. Tyson
28:50
screams, they're trying to kill me. They're trying to kill me. And
28:56
then says, I can't breathe. Shortly
29:00
after the officers remove, they supposedly
29:02
knee on his neck for 30 seconds. Shortly
29:06
after the officers remove his knee, Tyson again says he
29:08
can't breathe, to which someone responds, you're fine, shut the
29:11
f up. After Tyson appears to
29:13
stop moving, an officer is seen looking through Tyson's
29:15
wallet and talking to bystanders. Tyson appears to be
29:17
motionless on the floor for about five minutes while
29:19
at least one officer talks with bar patrons. At
29:21
one point the officer jokes, I've always wanted to be in a bar
29:23
fight. I don't know if this counts. One of
29:26
the officers returns in the frame, he asks whether Tyson has
29:28
calmed down or whether he's breathing. And that's
29:30
when they check and the discovery is not breathing. And
29:32
he was pronounced dead at 9 18 p.m. Okay,
29:36
so we don't know, we still don't have all the
29:38
information about this guy Tyson yet. From what I read
29:40
as reported by Colin Rugg on Twitter, he
29:42
had just been released from prison after a 24 year
29:45
sentence for kidnapping and theft. What
29:49
drugs was he on during this incident? You
29:51
know, I don't think we know that yet. I'm sure that eventually
29:53
we'll find out or maybe we won't because they'll never tell us
29:55
but it's possible he wasn't on any
29:57
drugs or alcohol at all. It's possible. I
30:01
mean, I can't say it's impossible, but I put a lot
30:03
of money a lot of money if there's
30:05
drugs involved I don't know but that's that would be my guess
30:07
and So
30:10
that's the description of the video and that's what we know
30:12
about this guy let's watch a little bit of this video
30:14
now Here it is I
31:00
You So
31:12
you basically get the you get the point there
31:17
That they go in to try to arrest
31:19
this guy and he fights back against them
31:21
and he resists and and then eventually they
31:23
have to Restrain
31:26
him and then he dies
31:28
in the process Again,
31:30
what did he actually die of what what
31:32
drugs were in a system? We don't know
31:34
that yet But
31:39
it's enough there that I
31:41
don't know I mean if you and of
31:43
course There's
31:45
already an attempt to make you know, we've had
31:47
we've had in the last few months We've had
31:49
several nominees for the next George Floyd. They're
31:51
still looking desperately for one. Maybe this will be
31:54
it It
31:56
bears similarities to the to the original George Floyd
31:58
just because you have the can't breathe and the
32:00
supposed knee on the neck. So
32:05
we'll see if they're able to make this into the next George
32:08
Floyd. Now I think that it
32:11
is certainly, as I've said many times, it's
32:13
right at that time now, or it's approaching
32:15
May, we're almost in May of
32:18
the year of a presidential election. So, you know,
32:20
we're right on schedule, like check the watch. And
32:22
it's like, yeah, now it's time for the race
32:24
riots. The only
32:27
wrinkle is that right now,
32:29
the people that would participate in those race
32:31
riots are busy with
32:33
the Palestine stuff. And
32:36
so the only question is whether
32:38
they can be redirected over
32:41
to this to do a race riot, or
32:43
if they can kind of do both. And if they'll just
32:46
sort of fold it in and make it into a bigger
32:48
thing, we'll see, we don't know.
32:50
Of course, we know the left obviously very much would
32:52
like that to happen. I think they'd like
32:54
to have both. That's their ideal. Like let's
32:56
do both. Let's do Palestine. Let's
32:58
do George Floyd 2.0. Let's
33:00
put it all together. And as
33:03
I've said, I mean, these are the same activists. It's
33:05
all the same. It's all related to each other. So
33:09
it wouldn't be that much of a leap. We'll
33:12
see if it gets that kind of response as
33:14
for the incident itself. Listen,
33:17
if you still watch these kinds of videos and
33:19
your first reaction is to blame
33:21
the cops, then I can't help you. I
33:24
just can't help you. Like you're hopeless. You are
33:26
a hopeless case. You are
33:28
absolutely hopeless. Because
33:32
really all along, but certainly at this point,
33:34
when you see these videos, like
33:37
you, first of all, you should just be totally exhausted with
33:39
this. And your first thought
33:41
should be, dude, just, just comply
33:43
with it. They have ever right
33:45
to arrest you. You broke a law.
33:48
Okay, they suspect you at least of like
33:51
running your car into a light
33:53
pole and you go into a place you're not
33:55
wanted. The people in the place are
33:57
asking the cops who take you out. So
34:00
they have to detain you. They have every right to
34:02
do it. It's their job. What
34:05
are they supposed to do when they try to detain the guy?
34:07
And the guy says, I don't want to. You're going to kill
34:09
me. Are they supposed to say, okay, never mind. If you don't
34:11
want me to forget it. We'll wait
34:13
till you're ready, sir. You tell us when you,
34:15
is that what you want them to do? No,
34:17
he's fighting. So now, okay, well now it's getting
34:19
physical. Now we have, now we have to use
34:21
whatever force is necessary to get you to the
34:24
ground and restrain you. We have no
34:26
choice. There is literally
34:28
no other choice. You tell me what the other choice is.
34:32
And then everything that happens as a result of that, I'm
34:34
sorry, it's your fault. You as
34:36
the belligerent a-hole who
34:39
took this, created the situation to begin
34:41
with. The whole situation is happening
34:43
because of you. The cops didn't create
34:45
this. This guy wasn't sitting peacefully
34:47
at the bar and they just happened to walk in and
34:49
say, there's a black guy. Let's, let's tackle him to the
34:51
ground for no reason. That didn't happen.
34:53
They were called in because
34:56
of you. And so you've created a situation
34:58
and then you're doing everything you can throughout
35:00
the situation to make it as bad as
35:03
possible for yourself. And so while
35:05
he is screaming, they're going to kill me, they're going
35:07
to kill me, he's doing everything he can to make
35:09
sure that's exactly what happens. And
35:12
I'm not saying that they actually did kill him, by the
35:14
way, because that is certainly not at all, you know,
35:18
apparent or that has not been proven, but
35:21
he's doing everything he can to make sure that he
35:24
does not survive the interaction. And
35:26
so, you know what, that's it. Like just, just,
35:29
just stop it. I mean, if you don't want, you
35:32
broke a law, people around
35:34
you are uncomfortable. You're making people
35:36
feel unsafe because of your own behavior. The
35:39
cops had to show up. So
35:43
yes, comply. And
35:46
I know when we say that the idiots will respond, oh,
35:48
are you some kind of bootlicker telling people to comply? Yes.
35:51
If you, if you're a criminal and you broke the law
35:53
and the cops are trying to restrain you. I
35:56
want you to comply. I'm
35:58
not telling him to give up his rights. Like what is what
36:00
right what right was being infringed on? Is it the right
36:03
to drive your car into a pole? Is
36:06
it your right to trespass is your right to
36:08
be belligerent and make people and and harass people?
36:10
Is that the right? No, there's no right being
36:12
infringed on So you
36:14
create a situation where the cops have to come. Yes
36:16
comply if you don't it's on you I just thought
36:18
honestly, I just don't I don't care you
36:21
you you You
36:24
create the situation for yourself consequences aren't you
36:26
it is your fault And
36:29
the idea that we're supposed to mourn again some guy just
36:31
got out of prison for 20 like someone who's contributing nothing to
36:33
society Done everything he can his
36:35
whole life to make
36:37
everything bad for everybody around him and and
36:40
then he dies by his own actions and
36:42
we're supposed to Bitterly
36:44
weep and mourn and I'm just
36:46
sick of it and tired of it. I'm exhausted
36:48
by it and You
36:53
know if you want to be a criminal and you want to live the
36:55
kind of life where the cops have to show up that's
36:58
your choice, but when they do
37:00
comply and Because it's
37:02
over like they're already there. You're not you're not getting out of
37:04
it. You're getting arrested no matter what you
37:06
do so stop being an
37:09
idiot and And
37:12
That's it. It's game over like you're going
37:14
to you're going to jail, right? So there's
37:16
nothing you can do right now to stop that from happening
37:19
All you can do is make it worse for yourself And so
37:21
we have these people that they they choose the latter
37:24
option They go to they go through a door, you
37:26
know door number two and they say well, okay Well,
37:28
I'll just make it as bad for myself as I
37:30
possibly can And
37:32
then we're supposed to blame the cops. Give me a
37:34
give me a freaking break. Honestly All
37:39
right, here's something I want to Play
37:43
for you. This is a something positive for change.
37:45
Let's do that. Yeah, that'll be nice
37:49
This is a video that's gone viral of a young
37:51
kid Looks like he's maybe seven
37:53
or eight around there at
37:55
some kind of farm equipment convention, I'm not
37:57
sure exactly and People
38:01
seem to find the video quite amusing in
38:03
a good way. Let's watch it
38:05
and I'll tell you what I what I
38:07
take away from it. Let's watch a little bit of this.
38:11
I have a big old farm display that I play
38:13
with them on. So, every
38:15
day you go and move things around on
38:17
it? Yep. Yep. What
38:20
season are you in right now then?
38:22
Spring planting or in... It's kind of
38:24
like when we go away now, we
38:26
can go up the plant season and
38:28
now we're in the semi-truck
38:32
season right? Yep. Yep.
38:36
Planting already for spring planting. Yep.
38:39
Bring fertilizer in. Yep. Bring a seed
38:41
in. Yep. Yep.
38:44
What do you think? I don't know. Oh yeah.
38:47
Oh yeah. Make nice combine they
38:50
got here. I appreciate that. Yep. Came
38:52
out with a new ASX-11 huh? Yeah, ASX-11. How
38:56
many bushels that drain tank on it? Good
38:58
question. 567 bushels. You know
39:00
how fast we can unload that? How fast?
39:03
6 bushels per second. That's moving it. That's more than
39:05
I can ever hit. That's more than I never need. That's quick right?
39:08
So, that's a great tank and 100 seconds. So, it's got the 100. You
39:10
can have that on both. Yes, that's pretty quick. That's pretty quick right?
39:12
Get the semi-truck back to work. How many row of corn heads is
39:14
that 16? So, 16 row 30 and 40 feet wide. Yep. Yep.
39:18
Yep. Yep. Yep.
39:21
Yep. Yep. Yep.
39:24
Yep. Yep. And a
39:26
big head. Yeah. This
39:28
is what... This needs a mother man to go right over there.
39:30
Right over there. Oh. It deserves a mother
39:32
man to go. So, the kid is great, needless to say. It's a
39:34
great kid. And one thing you notice about him just
39:36
from that 90-second clip is that he seems both more
39:45
sort of innocent and more
39:47
mature than the average child his age. Kind
39:50
of at the same time. Because on one hand he's
39:52
talking about his farm toys, his farm display I think is
39:54
what he said at the beginning. You
39:58
know, he's a young boy who likes tractors. which
40:00
is awesome, very innocent, much
40:03
better than staring at a phone, staring
40:05
at a screen. But
40:07
also he's far more mature than the average kid, both
40:09
because of his knowledge of the subject, but also because
40:12
of his ability to carry on a conversation with an
40:14
adult. You notice how
40:16
he engages, he asks questions, he responds, he
40:18
looks up at the person he's talking to.
40:21
Many kids twice his age cannot have
40:24
a conversation. In fact, I'd say most kids in high
40:27
school these days lack
40:30
this kid's conversation skills. But
40:33
of course, the main thing that comes across again is
40:35
his knowledge of farming and his passion for it. And
40:39
that's why, although
40:41
the video is fantastic, it's also sad
40:43
in a certain way that people find
40:45
it so shocking and unique. Because
40:49
this is how most boys that age
40:52
should be. This
40:55
should not be so
40:58
unique that it's like startling. And
41:01
I'm not saying that most boys should be
41:04
deeply interested in farming necessarily, although it's a
41:06
great thing for boys to be interested in.
41:08
But that's not what I'm talking about. What
41:11
I mean is this, that every boy should
41:13
have a subject that he
41:15
loves and he knows backwards and
41:17
forwards. And
41:20
it can be farming, it can be dinosaurs, it can
41:22
be cars, it can be baseball.
41:25
It can be outer space. It can be anything
41:27
really. But every boy
41:29
should have a passion like this. And
41:34
if you have a son and he doesn't have
41:36
a passion, if you honestly, you got
41:38
a kid around this age, a little bit
41:40
older maybe, and you look at that and say, well, I
41:42
don't know, what's my kid's version of
41:44
the farm farming? Like what's his version of
41:47
that? If that's
41:49
the case, then you should help him find it, help him
41:51
find his thing. And
41:53
his thing might change. Like my
41:55
oldest son, 10 years old, he has
41:58
cycled through several different obsessions. over
42:00
the years, but in the last year, he has
42:02
settled really firmly on wilderness survival.
42:05
Wilderness survival is his sort of very
42:07
intense interest. And once
42:11
he found that, it's like it's the only thing he cares about.
42:13
He wants all the tools, he wants all the survival gear, he
42:16
wants all the supplies, he wants to go out in the woods and
42:19
spend all his time out there and build shelters. And he
42:22
wants to go out in the
42:24
woods and start like campfires, which
42:27
is something we have. That could go
42:29
wrong, so we have to work with him on that one. You
42:31
can't just go start a fire wherever you want, but that's what
42:35
he wants to do. He wants to
42:38
read books about it. He wants to watch videos
42:40
about bushcraft, watch
42:42
movies about survival. He wants to
42:44
talk about it a lot, like frankly more than any of
42:46
us want to talk about it, but that's what he wants
42:48
to talk about. And we embrace
42:51
it, we encourage it, because this is his outlet. This
42:55
is also a starting point. If
42:57
your son has something like this, it's
43:00
a starting point, and he learns so many other things
43:02
related to that subject that he's interested
43:04
in. So like with
43:06
my son, we can get him to learn
43:08
and engage with pretty much any subject if
43:11
we relate it back to wilderness survival
43:13
and camping and that kind of thing.
43:16
If we relate it back to the woods somehow, then he'll
43:19
matter what the subject is. Even for the subject he thinks he doesn't
43:21
like, we can get him to engage with it. And
43:24
this is what boys do. They
43:27
fixate. And
43:29
there's a certain intensity that comes with being
43:32
a boy and being
43:34
a man. It's a masculine, it's a
43:36
male trait to intensely
43:38
fixate on certain things. And
43:41
that's a great thing for parents to
43:45
harness and
43:47
to point in healthy directions. Because
43:50
what happens if you
43:52
don't harness it? If
43:54
you don't do anything to foster
43:56
this quality in your son, what happens then?
43:58
Well, two things happen. First, inevitably
44:01
in this society, he
44:03
will still fixate on something, but
44:06
his fixation will become focused entirely
44:08
on entertainment. That's what his fixation will be. Screens,
44:11
you know, different forms of media. That's gonna
44:13
be his thing. And
44:15
as he fixates on the screens, his
44:17
intensity will die down because
44:20
the screens have a numbing neutralizing
44:23
effect, which
44:25
is why, as anyone knows, if you go into
44:27
a room where you've, you know, maybe you've let
44:29
your kids sit and watch TV for a little
44:31
bit too long, and you walk in
44:33
and they're just like zombies just staring at the screen. You could talk
44:35
to them and they don't even hear you, right? You
44:37
could wave your hand in front of their face. It's
44:39
like they don't even blink. It
44:42
has this hypnotic kind of neutralizing effect.
44:46
Whereas other things don't do that. Now, if your kid
44:48
has a real interest like farming, you
44:50
know, you can talk to the kid there. He's
44:53
invigorated, he's excited, he's passionate, he's engaging. It's
44:56
not like that when a kid is just
44:58
sitting, staring at the screen, just like this,
45:00
slack-jawed, right? And look,
45:03
before you start yelling at me, I know
45:06
you're gonna yell at me anyway, no matter what I say, it doesn't matter, but I'm
45:08
not saying, okay, that boys shouldn't have access
45:11
to entertainment. I'm not saying that obviously a
45:13
kid is gonna watch TV, he's gonna watch
45:15
movies, he's gonna maybe
45:17
play video games or whatever. And
45:20
that's fine in moderation, but if
45:23
you allow that, the
45:26
entertainment, the screens, the media, to
45:29
be your son's thing, to
45:31
be his prime focus, his
45:33
great interest, then
45:37
in most cases, now, there may
45:39
be some cases where from
45:41
there, a kid, like maybe
45:44
he goes on to
45:46
become a film director, you know, maybe he goes on to
45:48
become a video game designer or something like that. Maybe he's
45:50
in the media world and
45:52
he'll trace that back to his, so that
45:55
will happen sometimes. But
45:57
most of these kids that are sitting around
46:00
all day, just consuming media.
46:03
They're not gonna go into any business that has anything to do with any of
46:05
that. And
46:08
it's not gonna become a real passion. For a
46:10
few of the kids, it'll become a real like
46:12
passion. But for most of them, it's not a passion.
46:15
It's just a, it's a distraction. It's an
46:17
amusement. It's a, you
46:19
know, just a recreation. It's a way of passing time. And
46:24
the problem is that in that case, for
46:27
most kids, if they're a great interest,
46:29
right? And if a boy is just staring at screens
46:32
in different forms, he's
46:35
not gonna reap the benefits that he
46:37
would if he was focused on farming
46:39
or outer space or wilderness survival or
46:41
even baseball. Because these things
46:43
out in the real world, out
46:45
in the physical world, when a boy focuses
46:48
on those things, he learns about the world. He
46:51
develops useful and edifying skills
46:53
in the world. He
46:56
usually ends up socializing around
46:58
that interest. Like
47:00
the screens are isolating. The screens are
47:02
singular because most of the time, kids
47:05
do that just by themselves.
47:09
In fact, you know, even when I was a
47:11
kid, there was at least
47:13
more of a social element to the screens.
47:16
Like you would get together with your friends and like maybe you'd
47:18
play video games. You'd all be in the same, you'd all be
47:20
in the same basement playing video games.
47:25
But now even that is lost for the
47:27
most part. And so it's all singular, it's
47:29
all alone. And
47:31
then the kids
47:33
never develop social skills. And
47:39
they never develop any interests outside of
47:41
the screens. So this is what
47:43
I would encourage you. As a father
47:46
of four boys myself, find your son's
47:48
passion. Find
47:50
the thing that he
47:52
can focus on. Find the thing
47:54
that will harness his intensity. And
47:57
if you're saying to yourself and you're being honest and you're
47:59
thinking about your own. own son, let's say, he
48:01
doesn't have a lot of intensity. But
48:04
he does. He does. Every boy has it
48:06
in them. But you just haven't found
48:08
it. You've allowed it to be extinguished,
48:10
or not entirely extinguished, but greatly
48:13
suppressed. Probably because
48:15
he spends all of his time just
48:18
staring at screens. So it's
48:20
in there. It's in there. But you have to find it. You have
48:22
to harness it. Like the thing
48:24
that just like lights his soul on fire, whatever
48:26
that is. And
48:29
once you find it, once you help him find it,
48:31
you'll know because it just clicks. And
48:33
for this kid, it's farming like farm equipment. That's
48:35
his thing. He loves it. And
48:37
it's great. And, and,
48:40
you know, this is what every
48:43
every father of a boy
48:46
looking at the video should be able to say, to some
48:49
extent, Oh, yeah, my son, that's like, I see my
48:51
son in this kid. And
48:53
if you can't then you know, fortunately,
48:56
it is a it is a fixable problem if you try
48:58
to fix it early enough. The iconic

49:40
For a daily cancellation day we turn to
49:42
a woman named ash Putnam. She has gone
49:44
viral with a video complaining about the trials
49:47
and tribulation she's faced while trying to find
49:49
a job. And most recently she
49:51
says she was turned down by TJ Maxx which certainly
49:53
you know has to be a tough pill to swallow.
49:55
Based on my limited experience with TJ Maxx it
49:58
would seem that they hire pretty much anybody. with
50:00
a pulse. Now granted, that means that TJ Max
50:02
employees are held to a higher standard than we
50:04
hold, let's say the president United States. But
50:06
still, it should be a relatively
50:08
easy hill for any prospective applicant to climb.
50:10
But sadly, Ash Putnam found that her
50:13
TJ Max dreams were crushed due
50:15
to one factor that becomes very obvious the second
50:17
you look at her. Watch. So
50:20
I wanted to come on here and
50:22
talk about something that is really starting
50:24
to annoy me. So I
50:27
applied for a job at TJ
50:29
Max a few weeks ago, and
50:32
they denied my application. They couldn't even
50:34
call me. They just sent me
50:36
some automated email. So I went
50:39
in today and I was like, so
50:41
what was the reason I didn't get
50:43
hired? And she was like, Oh, like,
50:45
you just like don't have enough experience.
50:47
There was candidates that had like more
50:49
experience than you. And
50:51
you know, I asked her if it was about
50:53
my tattoos, obviously, because I know a lot
50:56
of places don't like tattoos. She
50:58
said that wasn't the reason. I don't
51:01
feel like that's true, but whatever, I'll leave
51:03
it at that. So I'm
51:06
just wondering how like
51:08
teenagers and young adults
51:11
who haven't had a job before,
51:13
um, how
51:15
are they supposed to get employed? And
51:17
you know, I hate that my tattoos
51:19
are such a defining factor for
51:21
me getting a job or not.
51:24
Like just because I have tattoos doesn't
51:27
mean I'm not going to be a
51:29
good worker. Like I just I do
51:31
not understand that at all. Because
51:34
quite literally some of the most
51:36
smart, intelligent people I've ever met
51:38
are people with tattoos and piercings.
51:42
Well then, ma'am, I think you need to meet
51:44
more people, though I understand it may be difficult
51:46
to meet people when you have not just one,
51:48
but two giant images of demons emblazoned permanently on
51:50
your body for everyone to see, which means presumably
51:52
that she got the first giant demon and then
51:54
walked around with it for a bit and then
51:57
said to herself, you know what would really improve
51:59
my life? A second demon. Those
52:02
along with the face tattoos and face piercings and nose
52:04
ring and everything else, she
52:06
looks very much like a pin cushion
52:08
that a disturbed child has scribbled all
52:10
over. So let me offer
52:12
just two very brief thoughts about this.
52:14
First of all, it's become increasingly
52:17
clear that thanks largely to
52:19
the younger generations, the internet has become
52:21
a place primarily for people to
52:23
whine about their lives. Well,
52:25
it's primarily a place for porn as it's turned
52:27
out, but second is the whining, which is a
52:29
kind of misery porn. And it's
52:31
true that there has always been whining on
52:33
the internet, just as there's always been porn,
52:36
unfortunately. But if you go not very
52:38
back, not very far back in time, even
52:40
just five years ago or so, you'll find
52:42
that it used to be much more common for
52:44
people to err on the opposite extreme. Like
52:46
one of the major criticisms of social media
52:48
was that people used it to project an
52:51
unrealistically positive, sort of put
52:53
together confident version of themselves. They
52:55
made their lives seem much better than their lives
52:58
actually were in real life. And
53:00
of course you still hear this criticism sometimes of social
53:02
media, but it's not as common as it used to
53:04
be. And that's because increasingly social media
53:06
has become a tool for amplifying your
53:08
complaints and your grievances and your general
53:10
objections to the realities of life. People
53:13
are trying to present themselves
53:15
as put upon and weak and their
53:18
lives as pitiable and full of suffering.
53:21
Well, I think we were better off before. It
53:24
is healthier to project an unrealistically happy
53:27
image of your life than
53:29
an overly dour and negative one. It's
53:32
healthier for the person posting the content and
53:34
for everyone else consuming it. At
53:38
least that's aspirational. At least like if everyone is
53:41
putting stuff out that makes their life seems great,
53:43
it could have an aspirational effect at least. The
53:46
instinct to complain to the world about
53:48
your life is far more toxic than
53:51
the desire to make the world envious
53:53
of your life. Neither option is
53:55
particularly healthy, but the former is significantly worse I
53:57
would say. And now the internet is full
53:59
of videos. this where a woman for some
54:01
reason has decided to inform millions of people
54:03
that she can't get a job at TJ
54:06
Maxx. That's an embarrassing
54:08
piece of information that we don't need to know
54:10
and shouldn't know and wouldn't know if you
54:13
didn't decide to shout it into the digital
54:15
bullhorn. Second
54:17
about the tattoos. I, you
54:21
know, I would like to think that I don't need
54:23
to explain why it's a very bad idea to get
54:25
tattoos on your face and neck, but that self destructive
54:27
practice is becoming more and more common. So apparently I
54:29
do need to explain it. So I'll just say this,
54:31
if you if you're considering going down this road, you
54:33
should know something. When the rest
54:36
of us see somebody with tattoos anywhere
54:38
above the collarbone, we
54:40
automatically assume that the person who went
54:43
with those tattoos in those places has
54:45
three things to go along with all
54:48
the ink. One, daddy
54:50
issues to a meth habit, and
54:52
three, at least one STD. In
54:55
fact, not only do we assume
54:57
that, but those are the only things we see when we
54:59
look at you, the tattoo becomes a
55:01
barrier between you and the rest of
55:03
society. We can't engage with
55:05
you or have a conversation without seeing the
55:07
tattoos, the tattoos scream at us. And
55:10
we feel burdened by trying to pretend
55:12
we don't notice them. If
55:15
you have face tattoos, and you're talking to somebody without
55:17
face tattoos, the only thing that
55:19
person without face tattoos wants to do
55:21
is say to you, Okay, hang
55:23
on a second. Why do you have that all over your face? And
55:26
usually the other person will not say that, because
55:29
they want to be polite. But it
55:31
takes great effort to prevent themselves from
55:33
blurting it out. And even
55:35
when they're looking at you like they want, they don't
55:37
know, like usually when looking so someone's more make eye
55:40
contact when you're talking to somebody, you got all this
55:42
stuff all over your face. So we're just like, we're looking up at
55:44
all the stuff like what is that? Why did you get that? Why
55:46
did you get that on your forehead? Why
55:48
was it about that? What does she have on her forehead? Like a
55:51
sun or something? You
55:53
really want is that design
55:55
so amazing that you
55:57
want to have it on your forehead forever you want
56:00
to be the first thing anyone sees when
56:02
they look at you forever,
56:04
really? Is it that great of a design?
56:06
I've never seen a design that
56:08
was that amazing. And
56:11
so, but this is the thought process that we're having while
56:13
we're talking to you. And it's quite
56:15
exhausting. And that's why
56:17
by having those scribbles all over your face and
56:20
neck, you have made yourself unemployable in most industries.
56:22
You are even unemployable at TJ Maxx,
56:25
where they expect you to at least keep your meth habit
56:27
to yourself. And really,
56:29
I'll say this, I'll go even further.
56:31
I'll say that tattoos in general are
56:33
a dumb idea. And I say that elephant
56:35
in the room as somebody with two tattoos
56:37
myself. Unfortunately, my tattoos are on my arms
56:39
and can easily be covered. I also don't
56:42
need to cover them because there is no
56:44
dress code for podcasters. And
56:46
my tattoos are Christian symbols, not just random designs.
56:48
So I don't find them embarrassing. I'm actually quite
56:50
fortunate, because way back when I got mine
56:52
done, back in those
56:54
bad old days, the big trend for white
56:57
guys in the early 20s was
56:59
the tribal armband advertising
57:02
not so much that you smoke meth or
57:04
grew up fatherless, but rather that you listen
57:06
to Nickelback, which some would say
57:08
is even more shameful. And
57:10
I was smart enough to avoid falling into that trap,
57:13
at least that much. But even so, you know,
57:15
here's what I'll say. If
57:17
I never got any tattoos, I wouldn't go
57:19
get them now. Like I wouldn't look at myself now and
57:22
say, you know what, I really need a tattoo. I need
57:24
something permanent. I need some design permanently on my body forever.
57:27
I wouldn't do that because nobody regrets not
57:29
getting a tattoo like that is nobody's life
57:32
regret. Lots of people
57:34
regret getting them. The best
57:36
you can hope for as you grow older. If
57:39
you get tattoos, I'm just telling young people this now, as
57:42
someone old and grizzled at the age of 37
57:44
is that the best you know for is
57:46
that you'll sort of be indifferent to your tattoos
57:48
as you grow older, perhaps not actively humiliated by
57:50
them, but also not terribly excited about them. You're
57:52
not going to wake up every day, look down at your
57:54
tattoo and then say, man, thank God I have this on
57:57
my body. You might say that
57:59
for like the first few weeks or even months. But think
58:02
about how you'll feel a decade later, or
58:04
20 years later, like the charm wears off.
58:07
And the point is that nobody's life has
58:09
ever been improved by having an image permanently
58:12
drawn on it. Lots of
58:14
people's lives have been hampered by it, on the other
58:16
hand. And if
58:18
that does happen, you only have
58:20
yourself to blame just as our friend Ash Putnam
58:22
sadly can only blame herself for her
58:25
predicament. And that is why she is today,
58:27
I must say, cancelled. That'll
58:30
do it for the show today and this week. Thanks
58:32
for watching, thanks for listening. Have a great weekend. Talk
58:34
to you on Monday.
