Transcript
- 0:19So happy Wednesday, September 2nd, 2026. I'm
- 0:23Manila Chan. That's Ted Raul. You're tuned in
- 0:25to the Ted Manila Information Show, TMI for short,
- 0:29because we really do give you way too much information,
- 0:32sometimes personal stuff. Just ask Ted about
- 0:34the tags. Tags? I know none of what you speak.
- 0:40Exactly. No more of those for Ted. No more. Well,
- 0:43not for now. They could come back. I mean, the
- 0:47things that never were there could come back.
- 0:51And Ted can tell you all about them live Monday
- 0:53through Friday at 10 a .m. Eastern Time. So please
- 0:56hit the like button, the follow, the share, the
- 0:58subscribe. We're obviously still waiting around
- 1:03for the jury that's still deadlocked at the Lindsay
- 1:06Clancy trial. Because she's innocent and pure
- 1:09as the driven snow. Driven snow. So we'll wait.
- 1:15No more commenting on that, because we'll wait.
- 1:19Be allowed to walk free She can't walk and come
- 1:22and come on the show. What do you mean? She can't
- 1:24walk? She's in a wheelchair Look, she must be
- 1:27allowed to roll free. I didn't know she was in
- 1:29Yeah, she paralyzed herself in her botched murder
- 1:33suicide when she jumped out of the window What
- 1:36floor was she on? second Maybe it's maybe it's
- 1:42one of those tall. I mean there are tall. No,
- 1:44I looked up her house No, not really No Wow.
- 1:49It was just enough to paralyze her. Yeah, she
- 1:54should have gone head first, man. She must have
- 1:56jumped out like... Or get up on the roof. Right.
- 2:00It wasn't enough. This is like there was a study
- 2:03of New York City cat defenestrations a number
- 2:08of years ago. So you know when cats fall? They
- 2:12as they fall they tend to try to do the flying
- 2:15squirrel thing They try to they try to straighten
- 2:17themselves out and come down legs first But they
- 2:21kind of you they kind of adjust and then they
- 2:23try to land on their feet, right? Yeah, that's
- 2:25so They hit terminal velocity, but they have
- 2:28to go over a certain speed to be able to do that
- 2:31So ironically a cat that falls out of the third
- 2:35story building is far less likely to survive
- 2:38Than a cat that falls out of a 15 story building
- 2:41because the cat that falls out of like the 55th
- 2:45floor or off the observation deck of like the
- 2:48of like the Empire State Building is gonna have
- 2:51plenty of time to straighten itself out achieve
- 2:54terminal velocity and land on its feet. Of course,
- 2:57it could still go curse flat and die, but it
- 3:00hits terminal velocity. Here's a better chance,
- 3:02is what you're saying. Terminal velocity means
- 3:05you accelerate, but because of the air, it's
- 3:08sort of like you drop a feather. You ever notice
- 3:09the feather goes, and then it glides. It's like
- 3:13that, right? So everything achieves terminal
- 3:16velocity unless it's in a vacuum. So it turns
- 3:20out that the sixth floor is the most dangerous
- 3:23floor to fall out of if you're a cat because
- 3:26it's high enough to be cursplat, but not quite
- 3:30high enough to be sure that you're able to achieve
- 3:32terminal velocity and land at the right angle.
- 3:35Oh, God. Well, we've learned that in the Boston
- 3:39area, the second floor window is not enough if
- 3:43you're trying for a housewife to achieve terminal
- 3:46velocity. Yeah, if you're trying to achieve You
- 3:49know, she failed. She failed at her own, but
- 3:51she's. So I think she's going to start dating
- 4:13or well, her husband still likes her. They're
- 4:16going through divorce now. OK. He's divorcing
- 4:19her. Well, at least they don't have there's not
- 4:21going to be a custody battle. Oh God, our kids
- 4:25were really cute. Yeah, I know. Robbie, are you
- 4:29are you on here? Robbie is as frozen as Joe Biden.
- 4:36Robbie, did you did you have a Joe Biden brain
- 4:38freeze moment? There he is. No, my Internet is
- 4:42lagging out. No, I was trying to say before the
- 4:45stellar Montana Internet decided to have a brain
- 4:47fart. uh was what she should have done is that
- 4:50she should practice the suicide thing first and
- 4:53then the murder part after oh it was glitchy
- 4:56we don't know what you said i think i think he
- 5:00said he should he should have practiced the uh
- 5:03infanticide first and then the suicide second
- 5:07i think that's i could be wrong other way around
- 5:09she should practice the suicide first and oh
- 5:12first i agree i agree No, it's like the school
- 5:16shooters to go ship the school then kill themselves.
- 5:18They should practice to killing themselves first
- 5:20I agree. They should do that first because if
- 5:24you know if they're not in their right mind Then
- 5:26you probably could have convinced them to do
- 5:28that I don't know if the jury will come back
- 5:32today. What do you think predictions guys? What
- 5:35do you think if they're deadlocked one more time?
- 5:37I think she'll get a mistrial. Yeah. Yeah if
- 5:41If they're deadlocked again, I think I hope they
- 5:43don't try her again. I don't think you should
- 5:44ever be able to be tried again for anything I
- 5:48don't I don't know. I don't know. They had they
- 5:50fucking had their shot at you if they Yeah, there's
- 5:53a part of me Yeah, I kind of agree with that
- 5:55is like you you shouldn't get a set. The state
- 5:57shouldn't have a second bite at the apple Yeah,
- 5:59that's what I think Yeah, I mean, I mean, it's
- 6:01literally classic double jeopardy, right? I mean,
- 6:04yeah So, all right, let's see. I feel like it
- 6:07might come during the show though. So we'll see
- 6:10let's hope so We'll see So first things first
- 6:16here Food oh, so I was thinking about food when
- 6:20I picked up this story because I went to a steakhouse
- 6:24last night, which was mmm Yeah, it was just yeah
- 6:28Yeah, that sucks The steak was fine. It's just
- 6:32the sides were like, you know, you could tell
- 6:35calamari for you know, if people know If calamari
- 6:39is frozen, it's rubbery and chewy, right? So
- 6:42when you're ordering your starters, right? We
- 6:44ordered calamari. Oh, I didn't know that that's
- 6:47why. Okay. Yeah, yeah. That's how you know it's
- 6:49not fresh. It should it should just melt away
- 6:51in your teeth. Like you should chew on it and
- 6:53you should it shouldn't be rubbery at all. If
- 6:56calamari is rubbery and chewy. I'll tell you
- 6:58guys this as the daughter of a restaurateur.
- 7:02If seafood such as squid or octopus or even shrimp,
- 7:09if those little sea critters are chewy, it's
- 7:12because they are frozen before the restaurant
- 7:15gets them. So the restaurant buys them frozen.
- 7:18And they shouldn't do that. But of course, obviously,
- 7:20if you're like in Kansas, there's probably not
- 7:22really many ways to get around that. Yeah. not
- 7:25a lot of chances for fresh no no unless there's
- 7:27like farms or something that you can buy directly
- 7:29from which is not great anyway but whatever like
- 7:31that's that's our food supply but one thing that
- 7:34we talked about ted um last week about was the
- 7:37the argentine beef that trump was bringing in
- 7:40that was like a favor to heavier malay right
- 7:42so there's there's news on that one and i have
- 7:46beef on my mind because i do love some good beef
- 7:49um so the president says he's gonna loosen But
- 7:54he must have been listening to the show. He will
- 7:56loosen federal meat processing rules so American
- 8:01ranchers can process and sell their own beef,
- 8:05challenging an industry dominated by the four,
- 8:08the four big processors, Tyson, Cargill, JBS
- 8:13and National Beef, which by the way, Tyson and
- 8:15Cargill are American. JBS and National Beef are
- 8:20Brazilian. Tyson, a notorious employer of illegal
- 8:24immigrants. Yes, but it's based in America is
- 8:28my point. Yeah, it's an American company exploiting
- 8:31illegals. Well, and that's what really matters.
- 8:33That's all that matters is just is the is the
- 8:36beneficiary, an American owner, an American wealthy
- 8:41elite. But let's face it, they are in Robbie
- 8:44world. These are the people who really drive
- 8:47illegal immigration because they hire them. Correct.
- 8:50However, JBS and national beef a lot of people
- 8:52don't know this these are the big four that that
- 8:55in order for beef to cattle to get cut Chopped
- 8:58up and sent to I don't know your local grocery
- 9:01store It's one of these four most likely because
- 9:04they control 85 % of the chopping market We'll
- 9:07just call it chopping the slaughter and chop
- 9:10up the butchering these big four two of them
- 9:13are Brazilian owned Okay, they're not even American.
- 9:16They're Brazilian owned. So that leaves many
- 9:19independent ranchers with few local buyers and
- 9:23little control over processing costs or prices.
- 9:27Obviously, it's a monopoly. There's big four.
- 9:30Some producers must haul cattle hours and hours
- 9:33away to a federally inspected facility to get
- 9:37because they have to have that FDA label, right?
- 9:39FDA approved facility because meat processed
- 9:43by local Custom butchers generally cannot be
- 9:46sold commercially, if you can believe that. It's
- 9:50unbelievable. Small processors can also face
- 9:54months -long backlogs for obvious reasons. Trump
- 9:58called the current system a nasty monopoly and
- 10:02promised a legal order allowing farmers and ranchers
- 10:06to process their own products. Ag Secretary Brooke
- 10:11Rollins has proposed reducing regulatory barriers,
- 10:15helping small processing plants and expanding
- 10:18interstate meat sales. The administration has
- 10:21already opened a $500 million program supporting
- 10:25eligible independent and regional beef slaughter
- 10:28facilities. But the details remain unsettled.
- 10:32Federal law generally requires USDA inspection
- 10:35for commercially sold meat, and changing interstate
- 10:39sales rules may require congressional action.
- 10:42Industry groups also warn that deregulation cannot
- 10:45come at the expense of food safety inspections.
- 10:48Right, because it's so safe already. The announcement
- 10:51follows ranchers' backlash over Trump's separate
- 10:54decision to bring in 300 ,000 metric tons of
- 10:59foreign lean beef trimmings under reduced tariffs
- 11:03for the next 90 days. That move is intended to
- 11:06lower ground beef prices, but could pressure
- 11:08domestic cattle prices. I'll get to the whole
- 11:11beef trimming, like lean beef trimmings, what
- 11:13that is in a second. But Trump has identified
- 11:16the correct bottleneck. Whether he has broken
- 11:19the processor's grip is another matter. So far,
- 11:23ranchers have a promise, not a new processing
- 11:26system. Remember he makes a lot of promises,
- 11:30but this is gonna is gonna have a direct and
- 11:34immediate impact If he acts on it now, so this
- 11:39but I mean is this an attempt to mitigate the
- 11:42effect of stabbing the ranchers in the back with
- 11:47the Argentine beef Obviously all the all the
- 11:51American cattle ranchers are pissed AF and and
- 11:56the people in Middle America support their farmers,
- 11:59right? Like they support, they want American
- 12:02beef. Everybody does, yeah. And of course, we
- 12:06all, we, I think most people, I think if you're
- 12:09sane, you should be a supporter of the COOL Act,
- 12:12which is the Country of Origin Labeling Act,
- 12:15which expired under Obama, and they had punted
- 12:18the Obama, remember Obama had the House and the
- 12:22Senate and the White House, and he fucking punted
- 12:25on this for forever. and let it expire. That's
- 12:29for a reason. That also hurt American ranchers
- 12:34as well. So Americans no longer know. We know
- 12:38where our t -shirts are made, made in China,
- 12:40made in Vietnam or whatever. We don't know where
- 12:42our meat is made. And part of the problem is
- 12:48that what we're importing is like fat. Fat trimmings,
- 12:54I don't know why they call it lean trimmings.
- 12:56It's more that, no, that's right. I have it the
- 12:59other way around. They're bringing in more lean
- 13:02cuts of beef because beef from abroad tends to
- 13:05be more lean. American beef tends to have more
- 13:09fat marbled into it, which is what makes a steak
- 13:12good. Much like the American people. But that's
- 13:15what makes the steak yummy. So I understand why
- 13:17Jeffrey Dahmer wanted to eat the fatty boom baddies,
- 13:19right? Yeah. Like, you know more fat that's it's
- 13:24part of the natural human palate is you want
- 13:26to eat fat you want to eat sweets and whatever
- 13:29so the American cattle that we have tends to
- 13:32be a fattier fattier cow So the beef that we're
- 13:38the trimmings as they call it that we bring in
- 13:41is God knows what Parts it could be the anus
- 13:50We don't know. We don't know. They call that
- 13:53the Springfield cut. Oh, all we know are the
- 13:57haystens at the butcher shops or something. Exactly.
- 14:01So we don't know exactly what parts of the cow
- 14:06we're getting that are leaner, but it goes into
- 14:08mixing with our very fatty beef so that way we
- 14:12can have the different, you know, like 80 % lean,
- 14:1575 % lean, you know, all those lean ratings on
- 14:19the Mm -hmm that we do have on the labels. We
- 14:22need to mix it with the foreign beef because
- 14:25We just there's a dearth of of lean lean cows
- 14:29in America Ted we have fatty cows and We need
- 14:33leaner cows and those leaner cows come from lean
- 14:37and mean Yeah, so Look, I don't know why we must
- 14:42have them. I guess there's the market like I
- 14:44like I like an 80 20 burger I don't I like I
- 14:47like a little fat on my burger because that's
- 14:49what makes the burger juicy right and and not
- 14:52you know when you ever bite into a burger and
- 14:54it's like the meat is crumbly and like dry and
- 14:56you're like oh yeah horrible yeah because it's
- 14:59it's a lean burger you need an 80 20 burger at
- 15:03least um for for it to be juicy and the meat
- 15:05to kind of like chew um But for whatever reason
- 15:10there's a market for this like 90 10 95 5 and
- 15:15in which case you're likely like the leaner that
- 15:18you're the leaner the the pack of ground beef
- 15:20you're getting the more likely you're getting
- 15:22a lot more foreign beef and you have to rely
- 15:25on Guessing because the cool act has been punted
- 15:29on for the last 10 or 11 years and nobody wants
- 15:31to take this up So that's part of the problem.
- 15:33That's making that's actually Harming American
- 15:36farmers is because obviously they're proud that
- 15:39they're American cattlemen. They're American
- 15:42ranchers, right? They're proud they want to show
- 15:45like hey, you're buying a hundred percent American
- 15:47cattle but Big companies like international companies
- 15:52like Tyson and Cargill and all these you know
- 15:55all these guys They want to bring in the other
- 15:58outside the export beef trimmings because it
- 16:03boosts their business and they own 85 % of the
- 16:07meat processing industry. So if Trump does actually
- 16:12move forward with allowing local ranchers to
- 16:17sell across state borders and even direct to
- 16:22consumer, you know, like the old days did. I
- 16:26really think everyone would be happier all around
- 16:30because if they could distribute, the farmers
- 16:32could distribute to their local Safeway or whatever
- 16:37store, you know, like Food Lion or whatever.
- 16:39Kroger. I don't know the name. Kroger. Piggly
- 16:41Wiggly is my favorite. So here's the misconception.
- 16:46The beef that you're talking about that's impacted
- 16:50by the foreign meat, it's not roast and steak.
- 16:55What is your ground beef? That's what I said.
- 16:59And so what happens? Well, ranchers don't make
- 17:03their own ground beef. No, that's what I said.
- 17:09So what happens? The reason I'm telling you this
- 17:12is because I know a couple of ranchers have to
- 17:13deal with this stuff. So what they do is they
- 17:15kill the cattle, they butcher it. Then they send
- 17:18it to a processing plant somewhere. The one closest
- 17:20to us is over in Nebraska. Then other cows come
- 17:23in from all over the world. Nebraska? Yeah. And
- 17:26it's all mixed up in vats. So just because there's
- 17:30some American beef there, but it's not all American
- 17:33beef. So what Trump is doing, he's lying. What
- 17:36he is doing, he's trying to pass the buck. He's
- 17:39trying to trick the American consumer who doesn't
- 17:40know how this stuff works. That's what it is.
- 17:45So what you're talking about, if you go to a
- 17:46farmer's market or something, you can get a piece
- 17:49of just a nice big old chunk of American beef
- 17:52right here at the grocery store across town if
- 17:54you're able to do that. The issue is though,
- 17:57is your ground beef. Like what is that you go
- 17:59and you buy over at Walmart? I talked about all
- 18:03that. I'm saying in general, ranchers can direct
- 18:07to consumer. If this is real, if Trump is going
- 18:10to do it, they'd be able to, if they have machines
- 18:14that they don't have to go to one of these big
- 18:16four processing facilities and you don't have
- 18:18to get that FDA, USDA inspection label in order
- 18:23to ground your own beef. However, You see fit,
- 18:26but they're not licensed to do it. That's the
- 18:27whole thing. You can't know because and that's
- 18:29what this No, that's what this trump thing is
- 18:32aiming to do is to loosen restrictions on this
- 18:35very thing cut and round But that that requires
- 18:39congress trump can write and that's that's what
- 18:43the article also said Robbie Are you not paying
- 18:45attention when i'm reading or talking? No, I
- 18:48am no i'm just thinking about this. It's just
- 18:50like what he's doing is that he is He's trying
- 18:55to extend olive branch for one thing and he's
- 18:57trying to make people think that this is easier
- 19:00than others It's not that way. That's not how
- 19:02this works Yeah, the Congress needs I I believe
- 19:08Congress needs to act too and that's why Congress
- 19:10really needs to get fucking move in on the cool
- 19:13act that has been languishing in Congress for
- 19:1711 years like we don't know what I'm not saying
- 19:23I don't I don't think most Americans, it's even
- 19:26possible for us to know what percentage of ground
- 19:29beef or whatever is coming from Argentina or
- 19:32Brazil or whatever. But it's not there's no label
- 19:35in there. There's no there's no label. We don't
- 19:37know. We but we deserve to at least to know that
- 19:40some portion of this one pound packet of ground
- 19:45beef is not American. I mean, I know that because
- 19:50and I know that because I like the fattier burger.
- 19:54the likely 20 % of it roughly is coming from
- 19:57South America where screw worm is happening or
- 20:00Mexico where screw worm is happening Mmm, yum.
- 20:04Well, they have in Texas too to be fair Robbie
- 20:07Do you think this is like this this cattle issue
- 20:10this Argentine beef issue? It's resonating on
- 20:13the right because I don't see it, but I don't
- 20:15I don't see all of it So with the influencers
- 20:18know but with the people actually live in states
- 20:20where this matters Oh yeah, it's a huge deal
- 20:24because the way that the beef industry works,
- 20:29ranchers don't get to set the price of what they
- 20:33sell their meat at. So there's four processing
- 20:38companies, two of which are foreign owned, and
- 20:41they buy the beef that the ranchers put out.
- 20:46There's no free market involved. There is no
- 20:50free market mechanism. It's a cartel. So what
- 20:52they do is they tell the ranchers, this is what
- 20:55we're going to pay this, that's what we're going
- 20:57to buy this beef for. And then what they do is
- 21:00that, so the ranchers, they kill the cattle,
- 21:03they butcher the cattle. It's like OPEC deciding
- 21:05what crude per barrel is going to cost. Yeah.
- 21:08And then it goes to a processing plant and then
- 21:10it gets processed and then it goes to another
- 21:13plant where it's packaged. And so what happens
- 21:15is that you have all this beef that comes in
- 21:17from literally all over the world. And it's all
- 21:20mixed in together in these giant baths. That's
- 21:24why what Trump is talking about, it doesn't make
- 21:26any sense because even if you just have, say,
- 21:3210 % of Argentine beef that gets mixed up with
- 21:3590%, then at that point, can you say that this
- 21:38is 100 % American beef? The answer is no. And
- 21:40the reason is because the FDA, through the regulations,
- 21:44they determine how much fat is allowed to be
- 21:47in how many burgers. You can't do it. That's
- 21:52the whole point. It's all a lie. The entire system
- 21:56is rigged. And Trump, Tucker Carlson, he had
- 22:00a guy on yesterday. I'm gonna try to get him
- 22:01on the show. He's talking about Trump. About
- 22:03the old man. Yeah, he found all this beef that
- 22:06wasn't even on the market that he bought. So
- 22:09what does that mean? That means other countries
- 22:11wouldn't take it. Why wouldn't they take it?
- 22:13We don't know. But Trump's buying it? And he's
- 22:15bringing it in here? Maybe. We don't know. There
- 22:19I mean it stands to reason problem, but we don't
- 22:23know and Philip Blair Thank you for the comment
- 22:25there Philip says on YouTube Thomas Massey is
- 22:28trying to change the laws that created these
- 22:30evil cruel sadistic monopolies and that's why
- 22:33he's out of Congress and he lost his primary
- 22:36because He's you know anti -zionist and pro -american
- 22:41cattlemen so he's He's too honest and they don't
- 22:47like that. Yeah, he can't. I mean, there's no
- 22:49future for him. There's no future for people
- 22:53like Thomas Massey. You can't stick to your moral
- 22:55values and your ethical codes here. This is Washington,
- 22:58D .C. Come on. Stop being so childish. More than
- 23:07180 Jewish artists Filmmakers, writers, and faith
- 23:11leaders have signed an open letter defending
- 23:14Mark Ruffalo, the actor, after Paramount accused
- 23:17him of invoking anti -Semitic tropes. The kerfluffle
- 23:22all began when Mark Ruffalo criticized Paramount's
- 23:25$111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery.
- 23:29The actor said that the merger would concentrate
- 23:32too much media power in the hands of the Ellison
- 23:35family, whose business empire includes Paramount
- 23:38and Oracle. Rufalo also shared a video of Oracle
- 23:43executive and Paramount board member Safra Katz
- 23:47discussing technology that Oracle supplied to
- 23:50Israel after the October 7th attacks. He accused
- 23:53Oracle and the Ellisons of supporting genocide
- 23:57and apartheid against the Palestinians. Paramount
- 24:00fired back. saying that Ruffalo had improperly
- 24:04inserted anti -Semitic rhetoric into a corporate
- 24:07dispute. By the way, I was very curious because
- 24:10they went hard against Ruffalo online and I couldn't
- 24:15find anything anti -Semitic that Ruffalo had
- 24:18actually said. Jewish advocacy organizations.
- 24:21Well, he criticized the Ellesons, Ted, and the
- 24:23Ellesons are Jewish. Right. So like I said, he
- 24:27didn't say anything anti -Semitic. If you're
- 24:28Jewish. So anyway, the Jewish advocacy organizations,
- 24:35including the Simon Wiesenthal Center, also condemned
- 24:38his remarks. Ruffalo called the accusation appalling
- 24:42and fundamentally dishonest, argued that criticizing
- 24:45Israel military contracts, or corporate execs
- 24:49is not an attack on the Jewish people, which
- 24:52of course obviously is true. Now, figures including
- 24:55Joaquin Phoenix, Joel Gold Cohen, Hannah Einbender,
- 25:00Alana Glazier, Tony Kushner, and Wallace Shawn
- 25:03are backing him. As far as I'm concerned, they
- 25:06only needed Wallace Shawn. If you have Wallace
- 25:09Shawn on your side, you've got all the Jew you
- 25:12need. He's the Jewishest person. on earth. He's
- 25:18the guy from best known for my dinner with Andre,
- 25:22but he's also in Puss in Boots. You know, he's
- 25:26he's in a lot of things. He's great. Their letter.
- 25:29Oh, shit, I just scrolled down accidentally.
- 25:32OK. Their letter accuses Paramount and his allies
- 25:37of weaponizing anti -Semitism to silence criticism
- 25:41of Israel corporate power and AI surveillance.
- 25:44Um, so bride ted princess bride. Oh, that's it
- 25:48princess bride Puss in boots princess bride.
- 25:51So so easy to confuse He's anyway, oh there you
- 25:57go Um, so you got all these like jewish people
- 26:01defending and you say ruffalo I always hear everyone
- 26:04say ruffalo like buffalo. Oh, I don't know. I
- 26:07don't know I'm not no, i'm not sure about this
- 26:10at all. I don't know. I'm probably wrong ruffalo
- 26:12I was here on the red carpet that They're like
- 26:14they would know better. I mean when when he hangs
- 26:17out at my place he I you know, I just call him
- 26:20mark so roof the rooster The roofie so yeah,
- 26:26I I look we've heard this a million times that
- 26:31it seems like if If the person is Jewish and
- 26:40you criticize them for anything For anything
- 26:43you could say you could say that guy was an asshole
- 26:47that guy doesn't he doesn't drive very well Right
- 26:51right, and you're like they and they can automatically
- 26:53claim anti -semitism on the sole fact For nothing
- 26:58else other than they are Jewish I Mean, I'm not
- 27:02even Jewish, but I claim anti -semitism on all
- 27:05criticism of me For oh, okay. Well, why not Ted?
- 27:12Also, any criticism of Clovis is anti -Semitic
- 27:15by definition. I almost married a Jew. Right.
- 27:17And if you almost married a Jew, then by definition,
- 27:21anyone who criticizes you is an anti -Semite.
- 27:23Right. By extension. Correct. Because I was that
- 27:26close to marrying a Jew. It's science. It's osmosis.
- 27:32Hello. So you cannot criticize me or else you're
- 27:36being anti -Semitic. Right. And so that's how
- 27:39this works. So if we criticize Barry Weiss for
- 27:43being a shit -ass inexperienced Like whatever
- 27:47she is. Yeah, that's never that's never worked
- 27:51in a TV newsroom That doesn't do shit about her
- 27:54job and is also a right thing Israeli fascist
- 27:58and now she's running all of CBS News and I say
- 28:02that bitch ain't qualified That's inherently
- 28:05anti -semitic I just did an anti -semitism. You
- 28:09did. You are guilty. Guilty, guilty, guilty.
- 28:11I did an anti -semitism. You did? And if you
- 28:14say the Ellisons have way too much monopolistic
- 28:20power in media, You are doing an anti -Semitism.
- 28:24I mean, you know, look here the fact that we
- 28:26can have this do this joke and like I'm not even
- 28:30nervous about doing this right now having this
- 28:33discussion it shows just how Things have changed
- 28:37right? I mean basically that attack was very
- 28:40potent for a long long time throughout most of
- 28:44our lives and You know, I was very hesitant to
- 28:47do cartoons criticizing israel. I mean I did
- 28:50them but I was you know, I probably did fewer
- 28:53of them than I would have because I was afraid
- 28:56of this these attacks and I didn't want to be
- 28:58accused of it and you know, and i'm not anti
- 29:00-semitic, right? So it's kind of like um, that's
- 29:03that and it's horrifying. I think it's one of
- 29:05the worst things a person can be So I certainly
- 29:08didn't want to be called an anti -semite so um
- 29:12But now the fact that we can just it's become
- 29:14it literally has become a joke like the way that
- 29:18you know It's like oh, yeah, come on roll out
- 29:20the anti -semite thing I'm surprised that they
- 29:24still try. I mean, I don't know. How much longer
- 29:26do you think they're gonna keep going? I mean
- 29:28not I mean at a certain point even apex gonna
- 29:31have to give it up like Guys, it has died. It's
- 29:34over. You can't do it anymore. No one cares Good
- 29:38run like it was good. Yeah No one to hold them,
- 29:42no one to fold them. No one to run. Yeah. Like
- 29:46it's, it's time you're on the back half of that
- 29:49Kenny Rogers song. Now, come on. Like you got
- 29:51like, you guys had a good long run for like the
- 29:54better part of 50 years. So true. Like just the
- 29:59jig is up, man. Like you can't say just because
- 30:03somebody is Jewish that they therefore are are
- 30:10beyond reproach, right? Yeah, you don't get it.
- 30:13Yeah, you don't get a free Elizabeth. Yeah, you
- 30:15don't get it. Yeah, there's no people, no papal
- 30:18dispensation, right? Like you're, you know, you're
- 30:21open for it's a free, it's a free fire zone.
- 30:23Like, sorry, it's cheap. Like, you're gonna have
- 30:26to justify yourself whether you like it or not.
- 30:29The bottom line is like, sure, the Ellison's
- 30:32happen to be Jewish, and they happen to be ultra
- 30:36wealthy. But I think it's the latter. their ultra
- 30:38wealth and consolidation, their ultra wealth,
- 30:42putting them in the position of consolidating
- 30:44all media that everybody looks at in America.
- 30:48That's the problem. It's not the Jewish part.
- 30:50That's part of it. Sure, because they're Zionists,
- 30:53but The it's even if they weren't let's say they
- 30:56were Quakers Ted Would you and I still have the
- 30:59same problem with the Ellison's being fucking
- 31:00Quakers? Buying up all the the fact that they're
- 31:03Jewish means nothing to me doesn't even matter
- 31:06He means anything to Mark Ruffalo either. He's
- 31:08no until here's a Hollywood You know, obviously,
- 31:15you know, there's always been high -profile,
- 31:17you know Jewish executives in Hollywood and It's
- 31:22remarkable to me that he was able to rally 180
- 31:25Jewish people to his, to publicly support him.
- 31:29It's one thing to get, I mean, as I've learned
- 31:31myself, and I'm trying to rally with us trying
- 31:33to rally support against the LA Times, you know,
- 31:37people, they get scared, right? They're like,
- 31:39oh, what if this institution, this rich and powerful
- 31:42institution, in this case, the Ellison's, what
- 31:45if they, you know, they don't like me? I mean,
- 31:47look at what Harvey Weinstein did and he was
- 31:49nothing. Compared to the ellisons. Um You know,
- 31:53I mean, I think it's fucking interesting as shit,
- 31:56right? Yeah, like, um, well -dressed nerd says,
- 32:00uh, what's funny is what ruffalo said Is tame
- 32:04compared to what the ellis what ellison is actually
- 32:08on record saying about using media to control
- 32:11americans For the juice crew as he calls it Juice
- 32:16like drinking orange juice like juice crew because
- 32:18you know you can't if you if you type something
- 32:20like that like it'll it'll read alert the the
- 32:26AI's and Then they'll you know give you internet
- 32:29problems. I mean, I've got it I've got to think
- 32:31that the Zionists have to really be shitting
- 32:33bricks these days. I Mean because they really
- 32:36just don't have anything Like the walls are closing
- 32:40in like they have to know that right they have
- 32:42to They obviously have something. I mean, they
- 32:45control Hollywood. I mean, they got Thomas Massey
- 32:47out. They're trying to destroy an actor for making
- 32:50a very valid observation, not even a complaint.
- 32:55They got rid of Thomas Massey. It's even money,
- 32:58whether your boy Saeed is going to be able to
- 32:59make it or not, since he is bending over and
- 33:02trying to sip on that juice cup, trying to apologize
- 33:07whether he is. Dr. El -Sayed? In Michigan? Yeah,
- 33:12in Michigan. Yeah. Cause he's going over there
- 33:14and he's just, he's trying to play nice with,
- 33:16with the juice crew and that kind of thing. And
- 33:18listen, if you try and say that they don't have
- 33:21power, then I'm just saying what I'm saying is
- 33:27severely waning. And like Robbie, you're right.
- 33:31Um, APAC won some Yeah, they got rid of Thomas
- 33:35Massey. They've definitely had some wins in this
- 33:39current cycle. Yeah. Francesca, she got slapped
- 33:42down. That's true. All that shit. He got smacked.
- 33:47That's true. All true. It's looking pretty good
- 33:51for the for the Israel lobby right now. It's
- 33:53the best Their trend lines are not looking good
- 34:02Their trend lines are it's maybe not as bad as
- 34:05print media, but it's like print media 15 years
- 34:08ago. They're in trouble. Here's what it is. Here's
- 34:10what it is guys. It's it's that The boomer generation
- 34:13still buys into that which is why apac has any
- 34:17any power at all in society is because it's the
- 34:21boomers who watch fox Who believe when you are
- 34:26and go to church and who are over my age? I would
- 34:32say 65 at least and over but definitely those
- 34:3570 classic boomers Yeah, for sure 70 plus like
- 34:38they they they drink the apac juice. Well, that's
- 34:42not a growing demographic to put to put it nicely.
- 34:45Right. So I would say once that demographic is
- 34:49no longer, no longer voting, we'll say. Well,
- 34:54it's like what you think about it. So I mean,
- 34:56the Adelsons know the whole reason why Trump
- 34:59is going after TikTok was because of all of the
- 35:01so -called anti -Semitism over on TikTok. And
- 35:04you can't have a foreign country only TikTok.
- 35:07So what do you do? You sell it to a dude that
- 35:09has dual Israeli citizenship, because why not?
- 35:14I mean, the guy, he owns Oracle. So what you
- 35:17do is you tell the Chinese, sorry, you can't
- 35:20do this because it's a national security threat.
- 35:22Here Israel, please take control of our social
- 35:24media. But he's only half not American. The LSNs
- 35:28are only half not American. And then you have
- 35:31Bibi Netanyahu who comes over, and he gets together
- 35:34this big old group of American influencers, talks
- 35:36about the importance. Well, he's crashing at
- 35:40the cusher house. Uncle BB is over. So let's
- 35:43not pretend that their power is waning. I mean,
- 35:46maybe in 20 years, maybe? Is there, will they
- 35:49even be in America? It's on the right path. It's
- 35:51on the, because I think, I think certainly with
- 35:54millennials now reaching their forties, they
- 35:57are not, they will once they get older. They,
- 36:01and they do, they are now because they're in
- 36:02their forties. But once all, all of the millennials
- 36:05are well into their forties, I think you're going
- 36:07to see a huge bite taken out of APAC's influence.
- 36:12Because so many people are opting out because
- 36:17they think that legitimately that the systems
- 36:19don't matter. That's a different question. I'm
- 36:22saying the influence of APAC, the influence of
- 36:24APAC is going to be largely wiped out when all
- 36:28of the Millennials are squarely. But you're going
- 36:29to see it. You're going to see it even like the
- 36:32turning point is Gen X. I mean, Gen X is the
- 36:35is the switch yeah we're the one tipping gen
- 36:38z is like it's over it's over yeah we hate the
- 36:44zionism we hate gen z is like uh -uh so by the
- 36:47way there is no world at all it that in which
- 36:5115 to 20 years from now the united states still
- 36:53supports israel not going to happen yeah well
- 36:57that's a different question but Mean the United
- 37:02States if it's still here will not this this
- 37:05arrangement will no longer exist. I predict distancing
- 37:09will start to occur in a meaningful way under
- 37:13in the next five years and Basically all but
- 37:18complete rupture within ten Peter says Peter
- 37:23says hey, I'm a boomer 1956 hate a pack and support
- 37:27you maniacs There's a lot of cool boomers, of
- 37:34course But there's not enough of the Peters out
- 37:38there. We're just talking about the overall demographics.
- 37:40Yeah, you're your your age cohort You're the
- 37:44fact that you're on here Peter and chatting with
- 37:46everyone and listening to alternative media Says
- 37:50a completely different thing about you than your
- 37:52your demographic But you're more informed. That
- 37:57tells me a lot of a lot about you. You're better
- 37:59informed than than your your age group because
- 38:03all those other people are tuned into Fox. They
- 38:05haven't cut their their cable cords yet. And
- 38:09they're and they barely know how to use social
- 38:12media or streaming. So you're not somebody in
- 38:17the fifties are not. usually savvy to all of
- 38:23this. So the ones that are, are usually going
- 38:25to be anti -Zionist. Yeah. Peter Brink comes
- 38:28in and hangs out with me over all my game and
- 38:30streams. It's awesome, but he's a great guy.
- 38:32No, but one of the reasons why they're doing
- 38:34all the geofencing around churches is because
- 38:36they're trying to recruit younger people because
- 38:38they understand that they're rightly so boomers
- 38:41are going or starting to go out. So that's why
- 38:42they're making a play for the evangelicals again,
- 38:45younger evangelicals. And then that's going to
- 38:48be interesting because, you know, One of the
- 38:51largest Catholic organizations now has a Zionist
- 38:53Jew running it. So I don't know how you get a
- 38:57Zionist Jew leading one of the largest Catholic
- 39:01organizations in the United States, but yet here
- 39:03we are. I need to look that up. I'm just curious.
- 39:06I will get you the link. It'd be like having
- 39:09a Muslim coming over and opening prayers of the
- 39:13Vatican. That's bizarre. Well, you're an atheist.
- 39:18That's why. That's right. No, I'm joking. If
- 39:21you're a Christian, though, I mean, things do
- 39:22matter. Hold on. I will find the link for you.
- 39:24Manila is insane. I read. Well, this is the answer.
- 39:28You know why Christianity is is on his face.
- 39:31Antisemitic is what she's saying. Well, yeah,
- 39:35I'm not practicing. I can't speak. Well, it kind
- 39:37of is. Isn't Christianity inherently anti -Semitic?
- 39:40I'm going to say specifically and Ted, you grew
- 39:43up Catholic, too. I'm going to say specifically
- 39:45Catholicism. historically is like the branch
- 39:51of Christianity that's like really not into this
- 39:57whole Star of David thing and all the follower
- 39:59going really not into that and they're kind of
- 40:02the only ones that have said you know anything
- 40:06about that that could even be misconstrued as
- 40:10anti -semitic is the Catholic Church and I think
- 40:13it was under I'll take a look at this after the
- 40:16show. Thank you. Oh my god. It's so bizarre Well
- 40:22infiltration Robbie, that's you got to break
- 40:25you got to break things up from the inside You
- 40:28can't break it from the outside. It's like trying
- 40:31to break down the Great Wall of China You got
- 40:32to break things apart from the inside. So, you
- 40:36know if they're using this lady at the Catholic
- 40:38Church She she pulled the wool over somebody's
- 40:42eyes. I would say She went right on in and she
- 40:45just smashed in that white guilt anti -Semitism
- 40:47button. It's like you're the Catholic Church
- 40:50is a major, you know, you're a major part of
- 40:52the problem. And it's insane. I mean, Israel
- 40:58has literally killed Catholics, blew up Catholic
- 41:01churches, and then the Catholic Church is so
- 41:04cucked. Not only did they just let raging queers
- 41:07just go and molest kids in their churches. Now
- 41:10they've got this woman in there telling them
- 41:11how to be good Catholics. That's why I abandoned
- 41:16it a long time ago after you know All the the
- 41:20allegations and stuff in the 90s came out with
- 41:22all the all the priests and all that stuff I
- 41:26was like, I can't I can't be a party to this
- 41:28and so seeing you know this lady running running
- 41:32a the Catholic biblical association. I'm like
- 41:36that's that's kind of weird is insane It is insane
- 41:42How weak the Christian world has become. As far
- 41:45as Mark Ruffalo. Yeah, the crusades worked out
- 41:49great. As far as Mark Ruffalo goes, Ted, I get
- 41:55why he would want to rally his buddies around
- 42:00him. He's an actor. And if the Ellisons continue
- 42:05to gobble up all of the media industry, he is
- 42:08going to be out of work in short order. So, and
- 42:12he's not that old. I think he's only like 55
- 42:15or something. So he wants to work forever, right?
- 42:18He wants to keep working until he dies. You know,
- 42:21like who doesn't want like a Betty White career,
- 42:24right? Sure. So Mark Ruffalo is like, come on
- 42:28guys, like back me up on this. Good on good on
- 42:34those Jewish American actors and whatever Whoever
- 42:37producers whatever they are. Yeah, I'd be curious
- 42:39to know how many of those I bet some of them
- 42:42are actually pro -israel, but don't buy the idea
- 42:45That anti -semitic anti -zionism and is the same
- 42:50thing as anti -semitism It's not the same thing.
- 42:53You should be able to talk shit about um, I don't
- 42:57know talk shit about puff daddy or Diddy or whatever
- 43:01he goes by these days and not equivocate that
- 43:06to hating all black people. Oh, come on. If you
- 43:10criticize Puffy, you are by definition racist.
- 43:14That's how it is. Right. I call Puffy a gross,
- 43:19molester, rapist, whatever. You're just mad that
- 43:23you didn't get invited to his parties. Oh, gross.
- 43:25Oh, God. So obviously he represents All black
- 43:30Americans, obviously. I can't criticize him.
- 43:35Why are you able to criticize your own country,
- 43:37but not a foreign country? Okay. Answer that
- 43:39question for me because this is Voltaire who
- 43:42said, if you want to know, if you want to know
- 43:44who controls you, uh, by who you can't criticize.
- 43:46Yep. That's true. Well, then there you go. If
- 43:50you're controlled by the tribe, you better not.
- 43:52Isn't that, isn't that that member of Congress
- 43:55who, uh, is who showed up on Capitol Hill in
- 43:58his IDF uniform. Isn't he currently being considered
- 44:02on the shortlist to become the new secretary
- 44:05of the army? Yeah, that's Mast, Brian Mast. Mast?
- 44:09I thought it was Randy Fine. Randy Fine's too
- 44:12fat. Yeah, he finds too fat. Yeah, he couldn't
- 44:16fit into the he couldn't get to the IDF. We could
- 44:20we could we could drop him on on on our enemies
- 44:22though. I mean, he could single handedly take
- 44:25care of a tooth of a of an apartment building
- 44:27over in college and just drop him straight. Exactly.
- 44:30The Bunker Buster. They call him in Congress.
- 44:33Yeah, I mean, I mean, think about that a dual
- 44:36citizen name with When he enters, it's like,
- 44:40Hey baby, you know what they call me? A dual
- 44:44citizen who served in the military of a foreign
- 44:46nation in charge of your army and showed up on
- 44:52Capitol Hill in a uniform country. We reported
- 44:57here a couple of weeks ago about the whole, the
- 45:00whole, um, basically it integration of the DOD
- 45:05with. Israel with IDF like we talked we talked
- 45:09about that their whole IT system is basically
- 45:11going to be like Overlapping and sharing all
- 45:14this data with the IDF systems or whatever there
- 45:17they call it so we're we're wholly integrating
- 45:20the DoD With the Israeli IDF so well not hold
- 45:27that's not that's not quite true, but we are
- 45:28integrating a section of the DoD, but you're
- 45:31any cemented because they didn't invent Pegasus
- 45:34that can like seep into every corner of your
- 45:38of your servers and systems right because they
- 45:40didn't invent that that killed that guys we are
- 45:43we're getting we're getting we're getting short
- 45:45on show here so we gotta keep we gotta keep moving
- 45:48sorry sorry not that i'm not enjoying this but
- 45:50but this is yeah that's we're we're bought and
- 45:53paid for and i think ted's right by by the time
- 45:55gen z becomes grown -ups and in their 40s i think
- 46:00this whole apex scheme is over It is done so
- 46:05long before that. I mean by then it's over. No,
- 46:08I mean, I mean, I mean I'm going far I'm gonna
- 46:10say we may not even have diplomatic relations
- 46:12with Israel by that. I don't think we're gonna
- 46:14have a country I Think we're gonna upload before
- 46:17then and hope you got him wrong. I Think you're
- 46:20probably right Jen Jen. It'll be like 1991 in
- 46:23the USSR Jen Jen Z will be the ones they will
- 46:27be the ones when when they hit full adulthood
- 46:29in their 40s and they're like grown -up ups Up
- 46:32up grown -ups. It'll be over All right, so 30
- 46:40American jobs that are disappearing fast or fastest
- 46:44I love this because there's a lot of jobs disappearing,
- 46:47but these these 30 are the mainly the good ones
- 46:50But yeah, let me qualify this. Okay, Ted. Let
- 46:53me qualify the BLS information I'm surprised
- 46:55surprised cartooning wasn't here. But you know,
- 46:58what can I say? I just, I don't want people to
- 47:01feel like, oh, I'm happy that there's only 30.
- 47:03No, no, no, they're not saying there's only 30
- 47:05disappearing. These are the top 30 out of like
- 47:08a list of like 100, scores of pages of jobs that
- 47:12are disappearing. But these are just the top
- 47:1330. The Labor Department has released its latest
- 47:17employment forecast and the office, the office
- 47:19typing pool should probably start updating their
- 47:22resumes. Word processors. I thought that's just
- 47:26a program, Ted. Yeah, I was like, who's a word
- 47:31processor? Yeah, all right. Like are we in 1986
- 47:35with like DOS or? Yeah. Okay. And typists top
- 47:39the list of America's 30 fastest declining occupations.
- 47:44So that surprised me, Manila, because I was like,
- 47:47okay, so to be fast declining, it means that
- 47:50there were quite a few and now there are fewer.
- 47:54So there were quite a few getting chopped. I
- 47:57guess they're like, like, where are they working
- 47:59now? Well, their medical transcription is what
- 48:03they were. That's considered a different job,
- 48:05though. That's not a typist. This is like in
- 48:08a regular office. Medical coder is its own discrete
- 48:11category, not a coder, a transcriptionist. So
- 48:16what they would do is they would dictate what
- 48:17the doctors say. Oh, and then they put it into.
- 48:20So yeah, now the doctor doesn't do that anymore.
- 48:25Yeah, the doctor does it herself. Okay. Well,
- 48:27they use a dragon speak. And so it just doesn't
- 48:30they use AI and they do it. Totally. Well, they're
- 48:33Well, that's that's why these jobs are going
- 48:35away. The Bureau of Labor Statistics expects
- 48:38more expects employment in that field to plunge
- 48:42by 34 .4 % between last year in 2035, so in this
- 48:4710 year stretch, eliminating nearly 14 ,000 positions.
- 48:50So Ted, do the math. 14 ,000 positions is about
- 48:5435 % of these people that do word processing.
- 48:56Which means currently there's about 42 ,000.
- 49:01Well, that's more than I would have thought.
- 49:03Yeah, yeah, me too, for sure. Telephone operators
- 49:05rank second with a projected 27 .6 % decline.
- 49:10Put me through to Pennsylvania, 65 ,000. Post
- 49:12text. Please hold sir, and I would just start
- 49:16plugging in different, like, if they have that?
- 49:18Switchboard Susan, won't you give me a line?
- 49:21We have that? Okay. Follow box, switchboard operators,
- 49:25Ted at 26%. All right. Wow. And data entry. Switchboard
- 49:30operators. Data entry at 25 and a half percent.
- 49:33I did that shit. That's a good job to get rid
- 49:35of. The list also includes telemarketers. Good.
- 49:39Can they stop fucking calling me? Yeah, hopefully.
- 49:42Hopefully. Yeah, not to mention it. I did that
- 49:44job. It was depressing. It's like it's again,
- 49:48it's like being a tollbooth worker where you're
- 49:51sucking up fumes on the freeway. It's a good
- 49:53it's a job that really it's best if people don't
- 49:56do it. Yeah, it's how how awful which makes sense
- 50:00why when when Jason Alexander who plays George
- 50:04Costanza when he made a cameo on friends and
- 50:08and he was a Telemarketer and he happened to
- 50:12call Phoebe or no Phoebe was telemarketing with
- 50:15him and then Phoebe saved his life because he
- 50:17wanted to Call it quits For the day if you know
- 50:22what I mean. Mm -hmm So that was the joke was
- 50:25that telemarketing is an awful job So that those
- 50:30jobs are going away Also, including payroll clerks.
- 50:35I would think you'd need that file clerks. Well,
- 50:38they people out people outsource their payroll
- 50:40to companies Sewing machine operators like well,
- 50:45who's gonna put the the garment? Yeah, that's
- 50:48hard I'm fine surprising because clothes are
- 50:50like still have to be even fast fashion clothes
- 50:53are made by human beings They're in sweatshops
- 50:58Something little nine -year -olds in Sri Lanka.
- 51:01Someone's making it Maybe that's maybe that job
- 51:04just doesn't exist. It's being it's being outsourced
- 51:06overseas. That's that's the deal Print finishing
- 51:10workers desktop publishers, and several specialized
- 51:14manufacturing jobs. Automation is the common
- 51:17thread. Artificial intelligence can now transcribe,
- 51:20format, and process routine information, while
- 51:22self -service systems and computerized machinery
- 51:25continue replacing clerical and production workers.
- 51:28Still, the steepest percentage decline does not
- 51:30necessarily mean the greatest number of jobs
- 51:33lost. Of course. Cashier employment projected
- 51:37to fall only six and a half percent but because
- 51:40more than 3 .1 million Americans currently work
- 51:42as cashiers that decline represents roughly two
- 51:46hundred and one thousand positions that's from
- 51:50self -checkout right Yeah, and you get the one
- 51:54clerk that's managing six self -checkout lines.
- 51:58General office clerks could lose another 156
- 52:01,000 jobs while customer service reps could lose
- 52:04about 142 ,000. Manila, do you think that companies
- 52:07lose more from shoplifting due to self -checkout
- 52:11than they save in firing their cashiers? You
- 52:17know, I would say people are remarkably more
- 52:22honest than we would think. I can answer this
- 52:27question. I've actually researched it. So with
- 52:29companies, you have to pay their wages, but typically
- 52:32you also have to pay their benefits and then
- 52:34you got to pay your work and then you got to
- 52:37pay their work comp insurance too. So even if
- 52:41you have even factoring in the shoplifting, they
- 52:45would still make more by automating those jobs
- 52:47away. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, so I would think
- 52:49I don't think there's I don't think people shoplift
- 52:52that much if you're going through self -checkout
- 52:54I would be like literally it literally never
- 52:57crosses my mind to shoplift except in an auto
- 53:01checkout situation I kind of feel like a company
- 53:04that doesn't want to pay cashiers Deserves to
- 53:07be shoplifted from yeah Yeah, like you asshole
- 53:11like it's a political act like like it's literally
- 53:13like you should be robbed You should be robbed.
- 53:17Yeah Yeah, like this is solid even rich people
- 53:20like if you're a billionaire and you're like
- 53:22shopping at like cbs and they don't have any
- 53:25cashiers You should steal from them bar, baby.
- 53:27Take it. Yeah bill jeff bezos run like the wind
- 53:31So the overall economy is still expected to add
- 53:355 .9 million jobs by 2035 Led largely by health
- 53:39care that I knew health care technology and skilled
- 53:42services So we're talking, you know elevator
- 53:45repairmen and you know things like the trades
- 53:48Dangerous and we've said that we have said that
- 53:50Ted for for a while now We have said that health
- 53:54care is the way to go some kind of tech But certainly
- 53:57you cannot be replaced if you if you have if
- 54:00you're in one of the trades like you just can't
- 54:03Like people need you nerd. Thank you so much
- 54:06for the donation nerd says in 20 years You won't
- 54:09have to support Zionism. They've made subservience
- 54:12the American way of life. It won't matter what
- 54:16we think all We'll all have the mark of the beast
- 54:20tramp stamps and rat burgers and like it. I can't
- 54:23wait. That sounds great. Fantastic. That sounds
- 54:28great. So there you go. All right. And then this
- 54:32last story. So, I mean, we listen to the TMI
- 54:35show. We are way ahead of the BLS data. BLS takes
- 54:39like fucking 20 years to come up with like projections
- 54:43for the next 10. TMI can look at like we actually
- 54:47I don't know. We can actually process data, Ted,
- 54:49without having to run it through computers, surprisingly.
- 54:52It seems almost as if you and I can look at a
- 54:55graph and be like, oh, I see where this is trending.
- 54:58Totally. Isn't that weird? How come all these
- 55:01people with PhDs at the BLS, like why? Just read
- 55:06some articles and look at graphs from around
- 55:09the world and you could be like, oh, I see where
- 55:11this is headed. No clue. might be smart for for
- 55:16Gen Z to to go to a trade school rather than
- 55:19college. All right, let's go with Robo Slut.
- 55:22Last one. Not Robo Slut. A Taiwanese man used
- 55:29his robot vacuum to catch his wife cheating,
- 55:33win a lawsuit. and score himself five months
- 55:36in prison. The couple married in 2021, five years
- 55:40ago, and shared a vacation home. During a 2023
- 55:44visit, the husband found an unfamiliar toothbrush
- 55:48and later spotted a suspicious man on parking
- 55:53garage surveillance footage. His wife said, I
- 55:56don't know anything about that shit. Shut the
- 55:58fuck up. And he initially accepted her explanation.
- 56:03Three months later, the vacuum clean his wife
- 56:07Ted you you know what that's I do know what a
- 56:09Taiwanese wife is like three months later like
- 56:11shut the fuck up Ted yeah she's like shut up
- 56:14who do you think you are when I got engaged my
- 56:19I told my good friend who had spent a lot of
- 56:22time in Taiwan and she said Wait, wait, she's
- 56:25Taiwanese. Oh my god She said all they do is
- 56:29scream at their husbands at night in the summers
- 56:32when the windows are open and you can I mean
- 56:34this was you know in the early 90s when fewer
- 56:36people had air conditioning when the windows
- 56:38are open at night all you hear across Taipei
- 56:42is the sound of Taiwanese women screaming at
- 56:44their husbands is that so it's a thing Yes, it's
- 56:48like a national pastime like soccer. Yeah Okay
- 56:52So, anyway, three months later, the vacuum cleaned
- 56:57up the mystery. The husband remotely activated
- 57:00the robo -vacuum through its mobile app, intending
- 57:04to surprise his wife by speaking through it.
- 57:07Oh, that's, aw, that's so creepy. It's like the
- 57:12Osterman weekend. He's a dork, he's a dork. It's
- 57:14like the Osterman weekend, like, hello, hello,
- 57:18Fiona. No, he's a dork. I'm coming to you from
- 57:20the vacuum. I'm coming to kill you there's something
- 57:24weird happening in the marriage and he wants
- 57:26he thinks he's being cute So he's gonna like
- 57:28fruit like activate. No wonder she was cheating
- 57:30on him and he was like, hi, honey. Hi Any no
- 57:34she's I'm sure she would she like found some
- 57:36dude like in the street Like will you fuck me
- 57:38because my husband talks to me through the vacuum
- 57:40I need to be fucked by a dude who doesn't talk
- 57:43to me through the vacuum cleaner. All right That's
- 57:46that's the kind of penis I need inside me. All
- 57:49right anyway Instead, the camera showed her in
- 57:54bed with the same dude, reportedly her lawyer.
- 57:59So at least the divorce is gonna be, we know
- 58:01who's gonna represent her. Rather than immediately
- 58:04confronting them, however, the husband continued
- 58:06recording. Maybe he was aroused. The footage
- 58:09captured his wife embracing the man and walking
- 58:12naked through the house. He sued both of them.
- 58:16for two million new Taiwan dollars, that's about
- 58:20$68 ,000, arguing that their relationship exceeded
- 58:27the boundaries of friendship. I think that's
- 58:30a fair point. The court agreed and then awarded
- 58:33him $500 ,000 new Taiwan dollars, so about $17
- 58:39,000. Then his wife countersued. Although the
- 58:44footage did prove the affair, it also proved
- 58:46that the husband had secretly recorded two people
- 58:49engaged in private activity, a violation of Taiwanese
- 58:52law. He argued that the circumstances justified
- 58:55his surveillance, but the court ruled that marriage
- 58:59does not erase a slutty spouse's right to her
- 59:03privacy when slutting. The husband received five
- 59:06months in jail and a $150 ,000 new Taiwan dollar
- 59:11fine for recording without consent. Wait, so
- 59:15I'm trying to I'm trying to do the math here.
- 59:18So five months in jail. He came out ahead by
- 59:21three hundred and fifty thousand new Taiwan dollars.
- 59:23OK. And but behind five months in jail. But maybe
- 59:27he could meet a new wife or boyfriend in prison.
- 59:30Five months in jail for like secretly recording
- 59:33people. Yeah. And that was that. That's serious.
- 59:37I got to say that, like, I think this might be
- 59:42Solomonic justice. I mean, I think that I have
- 59:46faith in the Taiwanese court system. I think
- 59:49they were right. I mean, he had the right to
- 59:51sue, you know, and say like, you slutted, you
- 59:55violated your marital contract. But also, he
- 59:58didn't have the right to surreptitiously record
- 1:00:02her having sex. You know? I mean, come on, that's
- 1:00:09not cool. Yeah, yeah, I don't know I have mixed
- 1:00:13it's revenge porn Well, it's not revenge porn.
- 1:00:16He didn't pose. He didn't post it post it, but
- 1:00:19he had it But he used it in court to prove right
- 1:00:22why he deserves the divorce because she of infidelity
- 1:00:25That's his right infidel which means other people
- 1:00:28at least the judge and the jury saw it so he
- 1:00:31did expose her and to public ridicule and embarrassment
- 1:00:35so there yeah, and I get that that that they're
- 1:00:39their secret recording law. Come on, we have
- 1:00:44laws like that in the United States. Yeah, I
- 1:00:47mean, it's shitty of her though. It's so shitty
- 1:00:51of her to counter Sue. Well, she's spicy, man.
- 1:00:57She's like fucking other dudes in their house,
- 1:01:01right? That's never good, right? It's like...
- 1:01:04I mean, in this, by the way, in this day and
- 1:01:06age, I'm shocked that people do that. Doesn't
- 1:01:15she feel bad for cheating on him and then she's
- 1:01:18going to sue him after? People's washers and
- 1:01:20dryers have cameras on them, their garage door,
- 1:01:26their iPads, their TVs. It's a web. It talks
- 1:01:30to each other. The machines communicate with
- 1:01:33one another. If you're going to go out and do
- 1:01:36that, you probably don't want to bring it home,
- 1:01:38right? It's just like so where people supposed
- 1:01:41to cheat like in the forest or something with
- 1:01:44the with the pandas, um, Taiwan I mean taiwan
- 1:01:47doesn't have pandas, but taiwan has hotels, right?
- 1:01:50I mean they can go to a hotel Yeah, but there's
- 1:01:52cameras or what about what about her lawyer's
- 1:01:54place? I mean the dude probably has a wife himself,
- 1:01:57you know Oh, i'm sure that's true. What about
- 1:02:00the lawyer's office? They could go there. Well,
- 1:02:02there's cameras everywhere. That's that's the
- 1:02:04thing Yeah, but but he's in charge of the but
- 1:02:06he's in charge of the camera So who's gonna know
- 1:02:09who's gonna care? So, I don't know I I get I
- 1:02:13just think it's shitty of her to counter sue
- 1:02:15him when she was the party that That wronged
- 1:02:19in the first place Well, okay. So the lesson
- 1:02:22here is I wonder if she would have sued him if
- 1:02:25he had not well He wouldn't she wouldn't have
- 1:02:27so what if he had like never sued and just been
- 1:02:29like fine. It's over Go have fun with your lawyer
- 1:02:33I'll find some other Taiwanese cutie to talk
- 1:02:36through, you know, home cleaning appliances through
- 1:02:40the vacuum. I know somewhere there's a sweetie
- 1:02:43who's dying to be talked to, who wants me to
- 1:02:46talk to her through the dust buster. Okay, fine,
- 1:02:52like, enjoy. But I mean, if he had just done
- 1:02:54that, then he wouldn't have found himself in
- 1:02:56the clink for five months. So he... He fought.
- 1:03:00So this is, I think, an example of when you're
- 1:03:02seeking your he's he's objectively probably the
- 1:03:06aggrieved party unless he abused her or something.
- 1:03:11But Ted, I don't think an abusive husband thinks
- 1:03:14he's being cute to talk to the wife from a vacuum.
- 1:03:16Let's just say, OK, but let's just say, but let's
- 1:03:19let's assume we can only as analysts of this
- 1:03:23very profoundly serious and that she's ballsy
- 1:03:26enough to bang in their vacation home. but only
- 1:03:29we can only we can like um I could see why they'd
- 1:03:33think that like nobody ever goes there you know
- 1:03:34whatever but I mean from what we know he's the
- 1:03:38aggrieved party but he lost the he lost the high
- 1:03:42ground with his revenge by suing her if he had
- 1:03:46just like been like fine fuck you bye then no
- 1:03:50every he could have told all their friends and
- 1:03:52everybody would happen and he could have had
- 1:03:54private private viewings of the video and Embarrassed
- 1:03:58the shit out of her and she would have known
- 1:04:00what is the law like the article doesn't really
- 1:04:02outline What's my privacy violation? No, no that
- 1:04:07the that the the woman in the the lawyer her
- 1:04:10lawyer that she's banging He sued them but for
- 1:04:14what? Like what? Right. I don't know what the
- 1:04:16specific Taiwanese law is, but I'm sure, you
- 1:04:19know, look, it's like here in the United States
- 1:04:20where we, I bet it's, it's, you know, we have
- 1:04:23no fault divorce, right? So if your spouse cheats
- 1:04:25on you, you can't sue over it. You can't even
- 1:04:28get an extra dollar in child support or, or alimony
- 1:04:31or anything. Yeah. It doesn't, it doesn't help
- 1:04:34you in court. Um, it might maybe give the judge
- 1:04:38some sympathy in your favor. Maybe that's about
- 1:04:42it. Yeah, but it's but technically they're not
- 1:04:44supposed to pay attention to that Obviously taiwan
- 1:04:47does not have no fault divorce, right? so I'm
- 1:04:51gonna look this up, but I Think that must be
- 1:04:54the case, right? Um, oh, it's yeah. Okay. So
- 1:04:59so the first thing that comes up is The in medium
- 1:05:03there's an article by a lady named xian kui huang
- 1:05:07that says the country's fault -based divorce
- 1:05:09laws Um say mean that you have to be insane to
- 1:05:14get a divorce in taiwan, huh? Yeah So, oh here
- 1:05:20we go. Okay, so listen Well, no, no, no, in other
- 1:05:24words, you have to be crazy to file for divorce.
- 1:05:26Here's the deal So there's two kinds of divorces,
- 1:05:29you know, uh contested and uncontested just like
- 1:05:32here If it's uncontested no must no fuss nothing
- 1:05:36happens in a contested divorce if one spouse
- 1:05:40says, I don't want to get divorced. So she must
- 1:05:42have refused. The other must file a lawsuit under
- 1:05:45Article 1052 of the Civil Code, which historically
- 1:05:48requires proving one of 10 specific statutory
- 1:05:52fault grounds, such as severe abuse, infidelity,
- 1:05:56or malicious desertion. Crucially, the spouse
- 1:06:01primarily at fault has traditionally been prohibited
- 1:06:05from initiating the divorce lawsuit. Okay, so
- 1:06:10yes, so she could not have filed anyway because
- 1:06:12even if she was like I want to be with I want
- 1:06:14to be with my with I want to be with my my attorney
- 1:06:18Mm -hmm. Oh and it says under the Taiwanese Civil
- 1:06:22Code 976 One party to an agreement to marry who
- 1:06:27breaks it without any of the grounds of that
- 1:06:31are legit for breaking it are liable to compensate
- 1:06:34the other party so that's what happened here
- 1:06:37he basically just he just filed for divorce um
- 1:06:41and that's how you do it under this law right
- 1:06:43so he wasn't trying to be a dick he had to he
- 1:06:46had to check mark why yeah and then he said on
- 1:06:51the grounds of sludgery right she's she cheated
- 1:06:54and i have evidence please approve my divorce
- 1:06:58correct he wasn't trying and the court said and
- 1:07:01the court said 500 ,000 new Taiwan dollars is
- 1:07:08what it's gonna cost you lady Well, so you can
- 1:07:13see why by the way, you can see why she might
- 1:07:15counter sue also to mitigate that expense Yeah,
- 1:07:20sure for for she got a she got a discount. She
- 1:07:24got it, right? It's kind of like okay, you give
- 1:07:26me this much. I'm gonna give you this much back
- 1:07:28but Yeah, it's a long time. That's a long time.
- 1:07:35I feel like I think that's too long of a for
- 1:07:37this I know I agree with you. I think look I
- 1:07:40think it's a serious offense I think it's I don't
- 1:07:42think he should have kept the recording and stuff
- 1:07:45I wonder if there's a way that he could have
- 1:07:47kept the recording and shown that he never showed
- 1:07:51it to anybody except the court like in in chambers
- 1:07:54only as evidence and then you can like That's
- 1:07:58not the case though, right like like Well, I'm
- 1:08:02he did it. It's just the fact that he did it
- 1:08:05to her recorded her and and her bang in the lawyer
- 1:08:09That's what landed him in jail right? Looking
- 1:08:16this up, okay, so and on YouTube and Naman Drake,
- 1:08:26I don't know the name of 96 says this is what
- 1:08:28happens when you give too much rights to women
- 1:08:31Right, Robbie? Yep. Okay. That's I don't know
- 1:08:41if this is like a statutory, like, okay, you
- 1:08:44record somebody and automatically it's a five
- 1:08:46month sentence. Okay, it was the involve. Okay,
- 1:08:50under Taiwanese law, secretly recording or disclosing
- 1:08:53another person's private activities or intimate
- 1:08:55information without authorization is the key
- 1:08:59thing here. Can result in a citizen sentence
- 1:09:02of up to three years in prison and a fine of
- 1:09:05up to three hundred thousand new Taiwan dollars
- 1:09:08So so the judge had discretion so Five months
- 1:09:13basically his defense was shitty He he said that
- 1:09:18he okay. Also, this is hilarious A big consideration
- 1:09:22in his trial was whether lights or voice alerts
- 1:09:26from the robovacuum were sufficient to establish
- 1:09:29that the wife was aware she was being recorded
- 1:09:33or had de facto consented to the capture of the
- 1:09:36footage. In other words, like recording, slutting,
- 1:09:41you know, like, and like if she's like, she was
- 1:09:45like, We're good. No, obviously she didn't know
- 1:09:49or she had she would have turned it off, right?
- 1:09:52Yeah, but still that means the judge So basically,
- 1:09:54so so so what's fascinating here? This is what
- 1:09:58you see. So actually it's a really even more
- 1:10:00interesting case because The he used illegally
- 1:10:05obtained evidence. You're not allowed to record
- 1:10:07a person without their consent in Taiwan and
- 1:10:12like so he used that to successfully obtain his
- 1:10:16divorce, but it was still illegal evidence. So
- 1:10:21rather than they, I mean, it seems to me honestly,
- 1:10:23like the divorce probably just shouldn't have
- 1:10:25been granted, right? Like, like maybe it should
- 1:10:28be because it's the fruit, it's the fruit of
- 1:10:31the poisoned tree, right? Like you, you used
- 1:10:34illegally obtained evidence in order to get your
- 1:10:37divorce settlement. Well, I don't know. According
- 1:10:40to McCade and the, the means justify the ends
- 1:10:43Ted. Mckayden says, how are you supposed to prove
- 1:10:46infidelity without the evidence? You know you
- 1:10:49hate a woman when you're willing to go to jail
- 1:10:51to divorce her. True. True. Yeah. So there you
- 1:10:56go. There's your Weird News Wednesday story.
- 1:10:59That is a fucked up law. I mean look they did
- 1:11:02they look the thing is that he could have gone
- 1:11:04been fined a lot more and gone to prison for
- 1:11:07a lot longer so obviously the judge obviously
- 1:11:11took that into consideration and it mitigated
- 1:11:13his sentence by quite a lot from three years
- 1:11:16down to five months because he wasn't just getting
- 1:11:19his he wasn't just getting his jollies off right
- 1:11:22i mean it was kind of like He was saying he was
- 1:11:24going to say, hello, although I don't really
- 1:11:28believe for a minute that he didn't suspect and
- 1:11:31that he didn't like do this on purpose. I think
- 1:11:33he suspected. She should be thankful that she's
- 1:11:37not an American. No little Charlie's pride song.
- 1:11:39Uh, I'm sure you do Ted. The snakes crawl at
- 1:11:41night. I don't know. It sounds great though.
- 1:11:44So basically what it was basically it's the same
- 1:11:47thing. So the guy was going to work. He suspects
- 1:11:49that his wife is cheating. He comes back home
- 1:11:51early. patch of the bushes, weights. Originally,
- 1:11:54he was just going to confront her and her lover,
- 1:11:57and he ends up shooting and killing them both.
- 1:11:59Because it's a country song. That's what happened.
- 1:12:02And then whenever he goes to trial, he confesses,
- 1:12:05and he says, yeah, the snakes crawl at night
- 1:12:06while you're doing snakes. Well, so does the
- 1:12:10judge like it or send him to prison? Oh, he goes
- 1:12:13to death row, and he's 100 % worth it. So listen,
- 1:12:17that happened to a neighbor of mine. a guy who
- 1:12:21lived right next door, well, a guy who lived
- 1:12:23across the street and down to two houses on Winchester
- 1:12:28Drive in Kettering, Ohio. He like came home early
- 1:12:33from work, looked through his living room window.
- 1:12:36They didn't even bother to draw the curtains.
- 1:12:39And there was his wife and best friend doing
- 1:12:41it on the sofa. His best friend or hers? His.
- 1:12:47He walks back across the street to my neighbor
- 1:12:49and says, hey, listen, I'm planning to go do
- 1:12:54some skeet shooting this weekend. I wonder if
- 1:12:57I can borrow your 12 gauge and a box of shells.
- 1:13:01And he's like, yeah, sure thing. Just make sure
- 1:13:03you bring it all back. No worries. I got you.
- 1:13:07Goes back across the street, kicks down the door,
- 1:13:10shoots up the place so badly that there was structural
- 1:13:14damage to the wall. and goes to call 911 and
- 1:13:19says, hello, please come arrest me. I'll be sitting
- 1:13:22out in front of my house. I just murdered my
- 1:13:26wife and her and my best friend. I need to be
- 1:13:29arrested. So that happened on a Friday. He saw
- 1:13:33the judge on Monday morning. The judge goes,
- 1:13:38justifiable homicide. Have a nice day. Don't
- 1:13:41let it happen again. Get out. Yeah How it was
- 1:13:48the 70s man, it was the 70s. It was like the
- 1:13:52it was like the mandatory Sentencing no justifiable
- 1:13:57homicide. He couldn't help himself from base
- 1:14:00on what he saw he was Anyone would have done
- 1:14:03the same. He lost his mind Lindsey Clancy, yeah,
- 1:14:09maybe maybe the judge is a Christian What because
- 1:14:14I mean that is a man literally didn't get so
- 1:14:16I continued Oh, not a well. No, he did. He did.
- 1:14:20He did have to sit in the whose scalp over the
- 1:14:22weekend In the catering in the catering city
- 1:14:26lockup, yeah So so I continued to deliver his
- 1:14:30paper he was a very like nice man Oh, you were
- 1:14:34a little boy at the time little boy. He was a
- 1:14:36very calm Like he went back to the house went
- 1:14:40back to the house had it all fixed up Live there
- 1:14:44never remarried never dated. Just just a calm
- 1:14:47like You know, it's a thing that happened and
- 1:14:51now And let me tell you nobody ever like let
- 1:14:55their dog shit on his on his on his lawn I know
- 1:15:00a person I'm not good. I would not go. I'm not
- 1:15:03gonna go into details. I know a person in Florida
- 1:15:07and A guy was molesting his daughter His daughter
- 1:15:15came home crying. She said, dad, here's what
- 1:15:17happened. He got his 45, went and knocked on
- 1:15:21the guy's door. The guy opened the door. He blew
- 1:15:23his head. He literally decapitated him with the
- 1:15:2545. He called the county sheriff, said basically
- 1:15:31the same thing, come get me. This guy was doodling
- 1:15:33my daughter. He's no longer going to be doing
- 1:15:37it. I'll be waiting for you. I think that happens
- 1:15:41more than you think where people just call the
- 1:15:43cops and say this happened and I'm ready. The
- 1:15:45sheriff never charged him. What? Well, there's
- 1:15:52a famous episode. There's a famous episode. We're
- 1:15:54running out of time. We got to go. So you guys
- 1:15:57are telling me two stories of dudes that blew
- 1:16:00off, you know, like offending men or women or
- 1:16:04whatever in this case, you know, both in Ted's
- 1:16:07case. But this poor dude in Taiwan Because of
- 1:16:13his fucking AI robot. He served more time than
- 1:16:16the dudes that literally That's true. That's
- 1:16:19true. Maybe country doesn't have the same kind
- 1:16:22of stigma in China that does in the West. I Don't
- 1:16:25know. I don't think it does Peaks everybody cheats
- 1:16:29in like Asian countries. That's they have love
- 1:16:32hotels all over the place I thought but they
- 1:16:34always have a reputation for being honorable
- 1:16:35and devoted So you say that's all they are honorable
- 1:16:38devoted. They never leave their wives. They just
- 1:16:41they never leave their wives and support their
- 1:16:43families always. Right. I mean, I think definitely
- 1:16:46the culture is very don't ask, don't tell in
- 1:16:49Asian countries. It's like, look, do whatever
- 1:16:51you want. I mean, like Chinese businessmen, they
- 1:16:54all have concubines. They all do. It's just a
- 1:16:57known thing. Yeah. It is kind of like just don't
- 1:17:00bring that home. You know, wrap that rascal.
- 1:17:03Don't Don't give me bumps. But are the women
- 1:17:05are the women allowed to do that? The way that
- 1:17:08the men do is my question. Much less so. But
- 1:17:11now, again, because I mean, if you keep in mind,
- 1:17:13cuckery is whenever the wife steps out on the
- 1:17:15man. Right. But that does it does happen. Well,
- 1:17:20like in time. Oh, my God, in Thailand. We got
- 1:17:22to go. I got to go. Thai ladies. They're there.
- 1:17:25They are always stepping out on their men because
- 1:17:27it's a matriarchy and the and the their little
- 1:17:30the men are like basically like little like mice
