CBC News.

Hey everyone, welcome to From the Kitchen Table. I'm Sean Duffy, along with my co-host for the podcast. She's also my partner in life and my wife, Rachel Campos Duffy. Sean, we have three awesome topics today. So we're going to talk about AI dating. It may sound like something in the future. It's not. It's coming soon. Everybody's going to have their own AI concierge. And the AI concierge will date other AI concierge, so you don't have to have their own A.I. concierge and the concierge and the A.I. concierge will date other A.I. concierge. So you don't have to go on the date. I know it sounds crazy. I'm going to break it down for you and I'm going to explain what's what's going to happen and what I think the implications are for love, romance, marriage, ultimately family, A dating so we'll talk about that um also sean uh the pro-life protesters the

ones who are praying and and and singing and passing out flowers their sentencing has come down and boy these sentences are harsh um we're going to talk about what those sentences are and one of the protesters had a message for the judge. Brought tears to my eyes, almost to yours, Sean. I thought you were almost going to cry there. We're going to tell you that powerful message. And then what a contrast those heroes are, those pro-life heroes are, to the whining snowflakes we see on campus who are protesting. We're going to talk about who are the protesters, what do they believe, but more importantly, who is funding this because it feels very astroturf in a lot of ways so let's talk about that because i think a lot of just normal americans have looked at what's happening on

college campuses um and the takeover of quads with encampments the takeover of buildings uh all the radicals that have come out and and disrupted commencement ceremonies causing actually some commencement ceremonies like at columbia university to be canceled so the question is what the hell is happening here who who is funding this who are these people because they don't seem really to fit within the norms of the thought process of so many americans yeah so i want to get to the funding because we actually uncovered who are the funders. But first, I want to talk really quick at the sentiments, the feelings about this conflict, Palestine, Israel, because the numbers are really fascinating. So two in three college students say they support Palestine, Palestinians in this conflict. So you have a very

big majority of young people on the side of Palestine and not Israel. Palestinians, right? Palestinians, that's right. This is another one. The plurality of students, 31 percent of them say that their primary source for getting information about this conflict is from TikTok. The Chinese. Well, I mean, from creators on it, it's possible that the Chinese are algorithm. The algorithm. It could be. Absolutely. That's true. Absolutely. But the creators are using TikTok to push their message. 55% of college students say they are pro-Palestinian. 65% of students are very supportive of the Palestinians. 36% somewhat supportive. 29% of the protest and 29% are...

So get this, half the protesters, Rachel, are supporters of Hamas, a terrorist organization. They're part of the funding that comes from Iran that'll chant, death to Israel, death to America. They favor Hamas over Israel, terrorists over a democratic state. Here's some hopeful numbers, at least. 71%, maybe you wish that number was higher, but it's still a pretty high number. 71% of college students say they believe Israel has a right to exist. Only 9% say Israel does not have a right to exist. But almost 20% say they're not sure. So these are some these are shifts. I think that the Jewish community, I don't know if they knew these these sentiments prior to this conflict and how much of it is is maybe wasn't there before the conflict.

But as you say, Sean, how much of these numbers have been driven by the discussion of it on TikTok? And so since it's TikTok, I think that a lot of the professors in our university systems are radicals, right? And so what they might see on TikTok is on their phones all day long, not as much time in the classroom. But I also think it is being reinforced by many of the left wing professors at the schools that these young people are going to, which is causing them to have, I think, a different opinion than the generations that are older than them. Perhaps, but also to be totally fair, TikTok, if you want to see sort of the carnage, the destruction, TikTok is showing that you're not really seeing a lot of that.

This has been something that's been bothering me about all the wars, frankly, Sean, whether it's Ukraine or this conflict between Israel and... Yeah, but Rachel... There are these wars, we're funding it to the tune of billions of dollars, and we never see what's actually happening on the ground. I mean, when's the last time you saw footage of what's happening on the ground in the Ukraine? In Ukraine, you just don't.

So I wonder if it's because of that coverage. But I also think that if you don't show what's what happened in the attack of October attack of october on october 7th to israel then their their response might seem out measured correct but if you actually see actually what the attack was and why there's such a strong response to hamas um it might make a lot more sense so what messages are promoted and put out there that does matter in the viewpoints that many people many young people who see this so let's talk about who actually funds these radical left-wing groups. And you might have seen news coverage of this. You might have seen it on Fox News Digital. But it's interesting because a lot of the funders of these radical little leftist Marxist groups

on college campuses, there are also many of the same people that are funding the Joe Biden campaign. I think they also funded a lot of the BLM riots, the last election, and Antigua riots. The common actor here in all things radical in America is George Soros. So George Soros is one of the funders. The Rockefeller Brothers Foundation is also a funder of these left-wing radical groups. So these are non-profits, correct. Non-profits. And the Pritzkers. The Pritzkers are the heirs to the Hyatt Hotel empire, right? There's a Governor Pritzker in Illinois as well, part of that family, very wealthy.

But they're funding these left-wing protests because it takes money to organize, to get the leaflets and all of the cash that it's taken to organize these young people on college campuses and to help promote these radical ideas and to think through what they can do to have the most impact disruptively on campuses has to be funded. And these are the top funders from these left-wing groups, left-wing individuals, but they're also supporters of Joe Biden, right? So you wonder, well, why are they funding these radical leftists on campus, but also funding Joe Biden? Maybe Joe Biden is just as radical in their mind or going to advocate for radical change in America.

Well, that's not getting communicated to the students. The students believe that Joe Biden, they're calling him Genocide Joe. Genocide Joe. They're holding him responsible for the amount of arms and sort of war funding that's going to Israel. But it's interesting. You know, Sean, one of the things that people don't understand, have a hard time wrapping themselves around is just how intricate and sophisticated these nonprofits are. So George Soros will fund a big umbrella group, and then

that money will trickle down to all these different groups. So in some ways, he's able to say, well, I didn't directly fund this, but it's part of this large network of liberals. These are the same, by the way, George Soros also funding the NGOs and non-government organizations that are helping illegals come across the border. There's all these different avenues of money. And one of the things that we've seen is that the people who are running the protests are not really students. And we saw our own friend, Dr. Fulton Brown, at the University of Chicago, actually confront some of these protesters and actually ask them, are you a student? Here's what happened.

I know that community is important to y'all. You understand community. Are you a student here? And we're asking that you will honor our community by not filming faces and filming inside the community. Can you answer my question, please? So I am a student here at the University of, at the popular university for Gaza. Are you a student at the University of Chicago? And so that is what I am, a member of this community and movement,

and we don't want to make any distinctions between students and non-students. So you're not a University of Chicago student? And so I am just not going to answer that question. Again, Dr. Fulton-Brown is a tenured professor at the University of Chicago. Dr. Fulton Brown is a tenured professor at the University of Chicago. She is there sort of asking them. She came in carrying a placard, Sean, with the Virgin Mary's image on it and asking the pro-Palestinian encampment protesters if they wanted to pray for peace. They weren't that interested in that. Then she asked them if they were going to be off the premises so that the students could graduate.

And then finally, they didn't want to answer that. And then finally, she asked them very directly, do you go to this university? And they said, you know, basically, that's discriminatory to ask those kinds of questions. We don't distinguish between students and non-students. We don't have those prejudices. But that's actually a way to cover up for the fact that she is probably funded and paid for by George Soros. The other group is also the Rockefeller Foundation that also gives money to these, again, shady groups. Yeah. So to your point, when the cops were finally called in at Columbia University and City College, that's where we had the encampments at the Quad. They had taken over one of the

administrative buildings on campus. When those arrests, when the cops finally came in and made the arrests, there was 282 people that were arrested. 134 of them were not students or affiliated with either of the colleges. So you get in almost half the people that aren't students on campus that are agitators on campus. Also, a third of those who were arrested were over 30 years old. Now, you'd think if you're over 30, you're probably not a student at one of these universities. But it also begs the question, what do they want? What is the driving force behind a lot of these protesters? Some of them, to your point, Rachel, have been radicalized in the thought process about how they view Israel and how they view the Palestinians and Hamas and Iran. That is true. But a lot of the folks that are

organizing, which is where you talk about where does the money come? The money comes to the organizers. They are revolutionaries, right? They want to see an overthrow of the U.S. government. They hate capitalism, which, by the way, George Soros and the Pritzkers and the Rockefellers all made their money off of capitalism, but they're funding organizations to overthrow capitalism. They say they're Marxists, they're communists, they're for sure socialists. I will quibble a little bit with that. Part of how George Soros makes money is he sort of funds the economic destruction of a country. And then he kind of swoops in and gets cut rate prices on, you know, the things that he invests in and different things. So it's a really it's sort of this vulture capitalism that he embarks on. He does it using markets.

Of course, yeah. And markets are a template of capitalism that's not government run, right? So he can make his money on markets and, to your point, maybe destruction of certain governments or economies, but he's doing it because of a capitalist system that exists in the world. Which begs the question, of a capitalist system that exists in the world. Which begs the question, why is George Soros funding what is clearly a very divisive, radical, these radical organizations that hate America, that really are intent on the destruction of America? And you have to wonder, is it because he's a sociopath?

People who have written books about George Soros will all say that he's a sociopath. There's this fascinating 60 Minutes interview that he did, I think back in the 80s, maybe early 90s, that is so eerie, Sean, that maybe we'll play a clip of it. Maybe we can insert it right here, Sean. Actually, I'll see if I can find it. Take a look at this. I am basically there to make money. I cannot and do not look at the social consequences of what I do. My understanding is that you went out with this protector of yours who swore that you were his adopted godson. Yes.

Went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from the Jews. That's right. Yes. Yes, yes. Went out in fact and helped in the confiscation of property from the Jews. That's right. Yes. I mean that sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many years. Was it difficult? Not at all.

Not at all. Not at all. Maybe as a child, you don't see the connection. But it created no problem at all. No feeling of guilt? No. So there's a sociopathic kind of explanation for why George Soros is doing this. The other thing is maybe there's a profit motive. The other thing is maybe there's a profit motive. Maybe he wants to somehow profit off of the divisions in our country and what we're seeing, this end of empire that we're experiencing right now, this era that we're in. Or maybe he has a God complex. A lot of billionaires have a God complex, and they simply love the idea, because in his case, he is a sociopath, just love the idea

of moving the chips around the board here and just seeing how things fall. I really don't know. His group, by the way, he has a Tice Foundation, but his main group is the Open Society, which in its own name, it's a group that says there are no borders. It wants to get rid of the idea of national sovereignty. And he's definitely part of the World Economic Forum, which believes in a one world government where these rich oligarchs sort of are the controllers, the technocrats who run the rest of us and our lives. So there could be it could be some combination of all three of those.

I just think this guy has to be perhaps one of the most evil forces exerting itself over our our body politic, over our culture and certainly over these universities at this moment. We'll have more of this conversation after this. Jason in the House, the Jason Chaffetz podcast.

Well, legacies matter usually at the end of life. George Soros can't spend all his money. So I would say this is about the ego of truly trying to destroy what has been so great about this country because he has a vision for a different kind of America. But what all of these big funders have in common is they don't like freedom. They don't like democracy. They don't like capitalism. They want to destroy that because if you usher in a different form of government, a socialist, Marxist, communist government, which you talk about the World Economic Forum, these are people who are trying to sell the average Joe, that giving them your power, giving them your democracy, giving them rights over you

is going to make you happier and better. And to that point, they do have God complexes, that they can run your life better than you can run your life. They can run your family better than you can run your family. And that's what's at stake here, fighting back and pushing back against people who are trying to steal the great gifts that came to us by way of our founders and our Constitution and our God.

They want to take it for themselves. Sean, why isn't that? And by the way, they are absolutely trying to usher in this new sort of neo-feudalist society. You know, you're not going to own anything and you're going to be happy. You're going to only be able to travel be able to travel so many times a year. They'll decide you can't eat meat. There's so many things going on. They're using the climate agenda.

But there's so many things happening to usher this new thing in. Why isn't our FBI, why isn't the federal government, why aren't even Republican members of Congress more concerned with the very nefarious influence of people like George Soros, who I think has very questionable loyalties to this country? And by the way, he's been kicked out of Hungary and other countries where he's been stirring the pot and trying to cause problems. Why isn't there more of an interest in getting to the bottom of what he is really trying to do? Well, let's be honest. The politics of these radical left-wing groups match the politics of Joe Biden and of the deep state.

And the politics of conservative Republicans don't match their agenda. So they're going after their political enemies, the FBI and the DOJ, after their political enemies, not the enemies of America. Because to your point, if you think about, you know, again, protesters on January 6th who, you know, had American flags and were singing the national anthem that loved their country, we might disagree with everything that happened on January 6th, but they do love their country. And here you have people who have engaged in violent, destructive behavior, who've openly said they're looking for the destruction of America, the overthrowing of the U.S. government. And to your point, where is the FBI? Where is the DOJ? Well, they've traditionally seen these young radicals as as Joe Biden, Democrat voters.

Now, there's a problem in the polls right now with these voters, but that is the historic nature of this voting bloc. And therefore, they protect it. Black half of, and this is some of the stats that have come out, more than half of the protests, of the people protesting on campuses say that they support or sympathize with Hamas, which is a terrorist organization. And so when you look at that, it begs the question, where are the organizations, again, the FBI, the DOJ, maybe even the CIA, looking at groups that want to overthrow the government, as opposed to looking at faux groups, a long time. I never heard of QAnon, but they make this big thing like we have this ghostly figure out there called QAnon, and that means you have to go after every Republican. Again, we have pro-life traditional Catholics. They don't agree with the radical left-wing agenda, so we have to actually send informants into Catholic churches to try to tell us at the FBI what's happening inside of a Catholic church. These are people on college campuses that want the overthrow of this country. They want to wipe out your constitution, wipe out your rights, usher in some of the worst forms of government

that's been known to man, communism. That's what they want here. And our government, our FBI and our DOJ sit back and go like, they're just peaceful protesters. They're just using their First Amendment right to say what they think. That's bull. This is about politics. This is about voting blocs. And it's targeting one group over another group. Well, and here is a perfect example, Sean.

There were 11, I believe, 11 pro-lifers who were protesting peacefully outside of an abortion clinic in Washington, D.C. They have been facing just some of the worst forms of persecution. We highlighted one of them, a, I believe, 61 or 62-year-old grandmother, Heather was her's her name i believe um and you know she has five children she's um adopted 10 she um volunteers she i mean everyone says she's a pillar of her society um of her community and um she was put in solitary confinement for over 21 days. The UN says 15 days is the max. They actually call that the Nelson Mandela rule because they said it's such a cruel punishment.

It's torturous. It's torturous. Again, you were praying. You went to an abortion clinic, nonviolent. No one was hurt. but you're in solitary confinement 21 days torturous because she gave someone else food that's the way they treat conservatives people who don't agree with their viewpoint that's the way you get treated these protesters yeah they don't care so they that that woman had a stroke um she stabilized they threw her right

back in jail right back in jail, right back in prison. So it's two more sentences that have come out. One of them is for Sean, a 30 year old, um, activist, her name, 30 years old. Her name is Lauren Handy. She got 57 months in prison for handing out roses and resources to women at an abortion facility. They claimed that they violated the FACE Act and trespassed in front of some line in front of the clinic. Another was an older man. He's 69 years old, so almost 70 years old.

Before you, what he said was powerful. But if you've noticed that the protesters that went to St. Patrick's and disrupted mass at St. Patrick's, that's also a violation of the FACE Act. Yes, that's included in the FACE Act. Have you heard the FBI actually prosecuting any of those disruptors? Again, it's two-sided. If you're a pro-lifer, the FACE Act applies to you. If you're a left-wing agitator that'll disrupt the mass, also a violation of the FACE Act. On Easter Sunday of all days. Also a violation of the FACE Act. You, go scot-free. Nothing happens to you. We

don't look at you because they're too busy. They're too busy looking at conservatives to go after these left-wing true radicals and prosecute them. We do not have equal justice. I mean, listen to this story. It's so unbelievable. He's almost 70 years old. His name is John Hinshaw. Also, his whole career was helping the homeless, the addicted, the disabled. Okay, so these are the upstanding member of our community who's helping the most vulnerable among us. Of course, also that includes the unborn. So before you read this, let me set the scene. So when you have a trial, right, evidence is presented, the jury will come back with guilt or innocence that could be hung. And he was convicted, right? And then you await some time. The judge usually wants some information about the defendant before they go into sentencing.

And at sentencing, before the judge passes sentence on the defendant, the defendant has a right to address the court. Sometimes they'll apologize. They will grovel. They'll like all kinds of techniques or messages that defendants will have to the court before the court decides and passes sentence on that defendant. So this is how this pro-life defendant chose to address the court before sentencing. Thank you for laying that out. That's perfect. He opened by explaining his wife's maternal love. He said, my wife knows that she carries our children from their beginning

through eternity, but she knows that I cannot share the same bond because I'm a man. There's a special maternal bond between child and mother. My granddaughter was born at 32 weeks gestation. And then I don't know if you know that in DC, they found some aborted body fetuses that were thrown out in the trash. And that's also why they chose to go to this clinic. And this is a late-term abortion clinic. And bodies had been found in the trash at Cesar Sant'Angelo's D.C. abortion clinic. It's just, it was horrific, these findings. And talking about that, he talked about his granddaughter, and he said that his granddaughter had been born 32 weeks early. And he said, how is it that my granddaughter is a treasure and others are trash? This is a reason why today's gospel reading is to

lay down one's life for his friends. This is not a coincidence. I am sorry. So this is this is his quote apology. He said, I am sorry that I have failed in my vocation as a father to protect children. I am sorry this court has failed in its vocation to protect its nation's children. I am sorry to the bereaved mothers who have lost their children to abortion. We are a nation of bereaved mothers. I am sorry to this generation that has lost a third of its own to abortion. I stand convicted though guiltless. I stand on the guilt of this judge. Accept my love for you, judge, as expiation for your guilt. I reposted this. Lila Rose, our friend, Lila Rose posted it. I reposted it and I said, all is not lost. Our nation still has heroes. That man is a hero. He's getting 21 months.

He is a almost 70-year-old man. He's going to get 21 months, almost two years in jail. And Sean, my heart is just breaking. These are true human rights activists who have put their bodies, their life, their freedom on the line for the unborn. I was at 31 weeks. My 31 to 34 week grandchild is a treasure but those fetuses those babies thrown in the trash are trash how do you how do you how do you unpack that judge what a what a great statement what i love here is that he's unashamed right he's bold in his conviction and that bold statement inspires others again to, to be bold. I'm convicted,

but I'm guiltless. And that he actually takes... He put it on the judge. And shows compassion for the judge and puts it back on the judge. He should have put it on the prosecutors. But I love that he's unapologetic because he did nothing wrong. He is guiltless, that he stood up and is fighting for the defenseless, the truly defenseless he's unapologetic because he did nothing wrong. He is guiltless. That he stood up and is fighting for the defenseless, the truly defenseless he's fighting for, is beautiful. And when you choose to take bold action and you are guiltless, you can't be apologetic. They can throw the book at you, which is what they're doing here. But you don't apologize. And he didn't apologize.

He stood on his principle. It was such dignity, Sean. So much dignity. And clarity. Clarity and dignity. Notice that these protesters, and these are truly, I mean, this is the most persecuted class of activists in our country, without a question, hands down. By the way, pro-life centers are firebombed with Molotov cocktails by a true domestic terrorist group. It's called Jane's

Revenge. FBI doesn't care about it at all. Never, never looking into it. Those people are free. Nothing's happening to them. These are true. I didn't hear him call for DoorDash to be delivered to him did you hear that I didn't but the protesters who are barricading themselves and giving out you know their demands of the university presidents you know we're on a hunger strike

but make sure you give us DoorDash and make sure that you also give scholarships to you know Palestinians atDash and make sure that you also give scholarships to, you know, Palestinians at our university. I mean, it's just, it's so, it's so unserious what's happening on the other side. And yet here you have, and Sean, I'm just so mad about this because this is happening under a so-called Catholic president.

But he's not. He is the one. I know he's not, Sean, but he campaigned that way. He was raised that way. What an abomination he and his family are to this country and to the Catholic faith and to all Christians. It is under his watch. He has directed this DOJ to single out these human rights defenders and to give them the harshest of penalties, solitary confinement, defenders and to give them the harshest of penalties, solitary confinement, unreasonable. Sean, just yesterday, the guys, the illegal aliens who beat up cops were let out of prison. Some church paid for them to get bailed out.

And they're out on the street. And we have pro-life protesters who are giving out flowers and praying and singing who are sitting in jail. So here's how warped the Department of Justice, our criminal justice system, is right now. So that you actually have

protesters on college campuses that are yelling, threatening, getting in people's faces, even Jewish students, who are trying to go to class. You would say, go back to Poland. That's threatening. That's anti-Semitic. And here you have pro-lifers who are praying, right? Giving out maybe a leaflet that there's another option for you, giving out flowers. And that is seen as more

egregious, praying, giving out of flowers, more egregious than the actual protesters on college campuses who are lodging real threats to real people in their faces as they're trying to get in to their class. By the way, these pro-life protesters, they didn't take over a building, right? They never chanted death to America. They didn't burn an American flag. They didn't call for the overthrow of the American government. They did none of those things, right? They prayed. And they gave out leaflets to get maybe some mothers to think about a different option for their little babies in their womb. That was their offense.

And again, when you compare it to the real threats to this country, the real protesters, the real agitators, the ones who want to overthrow what is so wonderful about this country, the DOJ and the FBI don't even look at them. They're not even on the DOJ's radar. So again, this is a war from the deep state, from the criminal justice system against those with conservative or traditional or Christian or religious viewpoints. It's a war on you. That's what this is. And there's so many examples of this. By the way, the way this works, Rachel, is if they can pass these sentences in a way that will be perceived as a threat to others who share the same viewpoint.

In a way that is going to tell you, listen, if you're a pro-lifer, don't you ever dare go to a pro-life. That's exactly the message. If you're a conservative, don't you dare go to a rally. Don't you dare go to a rally don't you dare go to a protest don't you dare stand outside a courtroom where donald trump is being persecuted by this system because if you do we're coming for you that's the message they want to convey but i think the statement you read is completely different what they're doing is going you know what i'm not going to be you can try to classify me as a criminal and a radical,

but I am guilt-free. And I'm going to proudly stand here and call it for what it is. It has the exact opposite effect that these prosecutors want on Christian communities to go, we should all stand up. We should all defend the voiceless and defenseless. You know, I've always made the connection between pro-lifers and the abolitionist movement. These are the abolitionists of our time. They, you know, it's now that slavery has been abolished, it's really easy to kind of, it's really easy to think, you know, people think back and go, of course, these people were in the right and these people in the wrong. Oh, no. Back then, there were lots of people who were defending slave owners.

They wrapped themselves up in state riots. They also said, I would never own a slave, just like you hear people say, I would never have an abortion. But who am I to tell other people what to do? Same thing. They would say, I don't own any slaves, but who am I to tell other people that they can't own slaves? It's the same thing. All of this is about who has the right to decide if somebody else is sufficiently human enough. And this is a power play. There's money involved. There was money involved in the slave trade, lots of money involved in the slave trade and in the industries that benefited from that labor. And then there were also here in this case,

Planned Parenthood. This is a profit as well as an ideological agenda. But I will say this. Planned Parenthood, some of the biggest funders to the Democrat party, the Democrat candidates, I imagine also to Joe Biden. Yes, absolutely.

These are the abolitionists of our time. These are heroes. And I think that, you know, Henry Hyde said it best. Henry Hyde said, when pro-lifers die, especially those who have been strong advocates and activists,

the activists, when they die, they will go up to heaven and there will be a chorus of little voices, little angels singing for them. And they will be thanking each one of those pro-life activists who go to heaven for standing up for them and for being their voice. And that is exactly what these people are doing. The people that you see, these 11 people who are now being sentenced and being singled out and persecuted, these are heroes. They are the abolitionists of our time. Think of Harriet Tubman. Think of these people. I believe in a few years from now, because

technology is moving very quickly, we will look back on abortion with the same disgust and horror as we do slavery right now. And those who stood in that breach, people like this, who are willing to stand up and take this exercise in humiliation and injustice on behalf of the unborn, they are heroes. So this is an abuse of power. They're exerting power over a group of people. And it makes me think about be not afraid. Don't be afraid to fight for what is right. And they are relying on human history where good people are afraid of, uh, of, of society, of the regime, of the powerful. But when, when, when people stand up against that fear and fight for what's right, amazing things can happen. Please keep all of these people in your prayers. Um, please keep all of them in your prayers. I

can't think of anything else we can do. Um, uh, as we, well, do we can do. Here's what you can do. If you elect a new president, these are federal crimes. So I haven't talked to Donald Trump, but I am almost certain that one of his first acts will be to pardon all of these people who are unjustly convicted and they're going to get out of jail. They'll have the records expunged because this is bogus problem is as you saw this woman had a stroke in the middle of it a lot of these are elderly activists um it's just so sad but yes um we pray for them we pray for um whatever it takes to get them um pardoned um and and out of this this legal entanglement. By the way, they're also facing millions of dollars of legal fees. And so if you could donate to that as well, that is a very good cause.

We're going to take a break right now and come back because AI dating is the future. And we're going to tell you what the CEO of Bumble has to say about it next. All right. Well, let me bring in the CEO of Bumble and let her tell you directly what she sees in the future for dating. Not her, but her video. Watch. Yeah. Our focus with AI is to help create more healthy and equitable relationships. And that also starts with yourself. How can we actually teach you how to date? How can we help you

show up in a better way? Give me an example. Okay, so for example, you could in the near future be talking to your AI dating concierge. And you could share your insecurities. I just came out of a breakup. I have commitment issues. And it could help you train yourself into a better way of thinking about yourself. And then it could give you productive tips for communicating with other people. If you want to

get really out there, there is a world where your dating concierge could go and date for you with other dating concierge. No, no, truly. And then you don't have to talk to 600 people and all of San Francisco for you. These are the three people you really ought to meet. Fascinating. So already we have a generation of people who, you know, don't want to talk to bank tellers anymore. By the way, I include myself in that. I'd rather do it. I like bank tellers. I love bank tellers, but I would rather not have to do that.

We're all getting trained in this, like, you know, just get it done, have the phone or some app do it for us but it is fascinating to see how those preferences have really bled into the dating the dating mindset and so what bumble is doing they're a business they're recognizing that young people don't want to have to go have a lot of human interaction um to get the outcome they want from dating so they're saying't worry, you're going to have an AI concierge that you can go to to your problems. So by the way, you're not going to a therapist or friend or parent or your cousin to talk about your dating problems and what's going on in your life. You're going to go to a virtual concierge, an AI concierge, and tell them your problems.

Now, this AI concierge is going to be taking all the information you have, sort of categorizing and turning it into data. And then your dating concierge, your AI concierge, will be communicating with other people's AI concierge and sort of helping to sort through who is the best match based on what you've told your new AI concierge and they've told their AI concierge. And now you don't have to go on dates. It will almost do the dating for you and then, you know, end up with one or two people that you, you know, may or may not even want to go on a date with them. You may just, you know, text with them. I don't know. I mean, what this is doing, Sean, is it's, it's taking the human interaction out of dating by design.

Um, and, and almost based on the preferences that these CEOs of these dating companies are the feedback that they're getting from young people. Young people are saying, I want to, I want a spouse. I want to date. I mean, I want, I want a I want a love interest, but I don't want to do the work. Right. And so it's interesting because Bumble is meeting the needs of the market. Correct. That AI can actually date for you. I'm going to make it easy. Again, you don't have to go to the teller anymore. You can bank on your phone. We'll do it all for you. A couple of thoughts. So we did a whole

podcast on date like it's the 80s. Get out there and meet people, whether it's friends of friends or workers or friends of workers, co-workers. That's a great way to meet other people and find potential love in your life. Now, I do think that, and I know several people who use apps to date, they're looking for love. And the people that they meet, they'll actually meet up for a cup of coffee or for a drink or a beer or a glass of wine or a lunch. And if you're using an app to expand the group of people that you come into contact with and you're out there doing the work of dating, that can be a good thing, right? Because you're going to, one, you get better at dating, you get better over that brief interaction of the beer or the coffee or the, or the lunch of knowing right up front, whether you like them or don't like them, you're

able to pick up on things, I think. And that's, that can be a positive. Some people are doing that. Most people are not going out on, on, on a lot of dates. I think they end up having these weird text relationships. So that's a problem. That's a problem. Right. But if you're actually getting out there and seeing and meeting people, that can be... That's a fine use of the app. And by the way, a lot of people who didn't end up falling in love and they met each other,

they've stayed friends, right? They still know each other and they've expanded their friend group because of dates they've gone on that didn't turn into love. But here's what I find is interesting. When you look at AI and these dating apps, it relies on the information that the user puts in. And there's a lot of things that we think we want, that we like. There's a lot of assessment that we do about ourselves that we put in to help us find... That may not be accurate, even about yourselves, because we're not all knowing even of ourselves. I don't listen. I'm probably Rachel could probably assess me better than I can assess

myself. And sometimes I can assess her better than she can assess ourselves because sometimes we have warped perceptions of what we like and who we are. Right. I'll say that. I like something. And she'll reach like, no,

you don't like that. I was like, what, what time of day do you like the best? And I'm like, we did this family game. And I think I said, um, I like something and she'll be like no you don't like that I was like what time of day do you like the best and I'm like we did a family game and I think I said I like I like it at the cabin I like it at like 1 o'clock when it's really hot and she's like no you don't

you love sunsets sunset is your favorite time of the day I'm like actually you're right I do like sunsets or we go out to restaurants you're like Rachel what do I want I'm like I know what Sean wants I look at the menu I can see I'm like I bet you what Sean wants. I look at the menu. I can see. I'm like, I bet you really like me. That's exactly what I would like.

But you're right. So for the AI concierge to properly match you, it is based on all this input. She gave the example, Sean, of I just had this breakup. I'm going through. So it's taking a moment in time. I just had this breakup. I'm going through. So it's taking a moment in time.

It may not be able to know that maybe 10 years ago you had this other breakup that's influencing how that breakup worked. So, again, it's based on the inputs you put in. And sometimes we're not even honest with ourselves. So that's definitely a quirk that concerns me. There are other things that concern me about this. Let me tell you, we talked about this story before we did it and i and i had a little light bulb moment because if you asked me to put in before i was married what kind of woman am i looking for what are the characteristics that i want out of my spouse what i want her to look like What do I want her attributes to be?

I might've put in a lot of different things. And most of those things would not be Rachel, right? I didn't know that I wanted Rachel until I met Rachel. And I'm like, actually, I fell in love. And there's like everything about her. I didn't know I liked Latino. I would have said, don't give me a Latina. I do not want a Latina. You thought you were into blondes. I thought I was into blondes. Because I didn't know Latinas. I didn't know how wonderful they were. Literally, he didn't know any Latinas. I didn't. I might be the first one he met. My AI concierge would have said, we're going to exclude all Latinas, which would have excluded Rachel. That's a problem. Because I was would have said we're going to exclude all latinas which would have excluded rachel um

and that's a problem because i was forced to get to know you on this travel adventure show that we did on reality tv together i was like i was seeing things that i hadn't seen in other women and i was really attracted not just physically you're talking about in terms of personality and that sort of thing yeah but physically and and personality wise um you were a unique animal that i hadn't seen in my environment exotic zoo zoo animal you were and i was like i actually like this zoo animal um i'm attracted to this well you were an exotic zoo animal to me too so if i again i would have never thought that i would be paired up with the guy from wisconsin i didn't even i never even been to Wisconsin. I didn't even, I'd never been to Wisconsin.

I don't even think I'd ever thought about Wisconsin ever before. Who doesn't think about Wisconsin, by the way? I know, now it's hard for me to imagine. Son of the universe. But I never did. I never imagined I'd be with someone from Wisconsin. I never imagined that I'd be with somebody who climbed trees for a sport. There are a lot of things about you that I would have never, I would have never put in.

Let's just say it wasn't on my bingo card. Well, if your AI concierge picked me for you, you would have said my AI concierge is broken. There's something wrong with this AI concierge because it does not match me with the right person. That's true. But there's other things, Sean. There are things that chemically, like so, and this is absolutely true. There is a chemical attraction between certain people. And that is really like something that an AI concierge could never, ever capture.

Is that right? Well, I don't know about this with humans maybe it's true but i've been into bees recently i got three hives of bees um and i watch more videos about bees and i can shake a stick at but one of the things is i was having a problem with the bees i wasn't sure if the queen was in the hive and they're like you got to put her old cage in the hive because her pheromones are there and all the other bees smell the pheromones of the queen bee and they'll stick around she could be dead she could have flown away but her pheromones her smells will keep the other bees in the hive because they smell her right right so i don't

know if this applies to my queen bee or not but the queen bees i do think that there are chemical there are there are there is there is a chemical there a chemical, there's pharanx, there's, I mean, there's something that there are elements that can't be captured by an AI concierge dating app. And so I think that it comes back to the basics, Sean, what we've always been saying and what people truly crave, what people truly crave, even if they don't know it because it's been so zapped out of our culture is human interaction is, is, is human connection. And I'm sorry,

AI is just not going to cut it. It's never going to replace, never going to be able to replace it. And by the way, I think there's, there are some people that find love in high school and like that's, they know what they want and they've seen it. And there's other people who, if you're married, you're like, I like my spouse is exactly what I envisioned my spouse being like the picture I had in my head when I was 14 years old. If you had that thought

in your head, I didn't, I wasn't thinking about getting married at 14. But if you had that thought of 14, your spouse actually matches what you thought they would be. But I think for many of us, a vast majority of us, our spouse is something very different than what we imagined, right? And your imagination of what your spouse is going to be like is what you're going to put into the AI. That's going to send you in a direction that may offer you more hardship because you're not going to find love through that concierge. You have to be your own concierge, finding love, going on dates, having cups of coffee, meeting as many people as you can and seeing who you connect with. Because, again, I think our own perceptions can misguide us to places that aren't going to bring us love and connection and a life together. I think, Sean, that the whole Zoom

culture that we live in is making people actually afraid to go on dates, afraid to, it's a Zoom culture, a phone culture, a texting culture, and I think what's happening is that they're actually afraid to go out and have those interactions because it's just so much easier. There's no rejection involved, or at least the rejection is easier to handle than if you had met face to face. And that can be difficult, but it's just like anything else. I mean, you know, I remember going to the pool when on the Air Force Base that we grew up on and looking at the high dive, you know, board and just being so afraid of it. And, you know, the first time I jumped off, I was, I stood there and I looked at the line behind me and everybody was waiting for me. And I just, you know, if I could have gone back, I would have.

But I was just too embarrassed because there were lots of people there. And so I jumped off and I realized that it was OK. I went down to the bottom and I doggy paddled my way back up and I was fine. I was freaked out. But then I did it again. I did it again. And then it started to be fun. And I think that's sort of how we have to approach the dating thing. And I think sometimes for people in our generation who haven't, by the way, we haven't dated for a

long time. We've been together for 25 years. So we remember it as this really fun, exciting thing we looked forward to. But now, because so many people are banking online, are ordering their food online, they have so little human interaction, that having a human interaction, especially one that has stakes as high as dating, now is something they're afraid of. And I think Bumble and other apps are responding to the fear and doubling down on the fear. And I think that's a mistake for humans and for our existence and our perpetuation as a species. We must have human interaction. It's where all goodness and happiness lies. And so we should be doubling down on human connection.

I agree with the human connection side of it. But dating apps also put a lot of pressure on the two people getting together if they do meet for a cup of coffee or a drink you're both looking for dating where if you meet someone at a party or at work or friends or friends you're all hanging out that pressure doesn't exist and without that pressure um a relationship and a friendship can develop but if you're actually getting together for the sole purpose of dating each other, that gets to be a little funky. It's like the difference.

You know what it is, Sean? I hate to give all of you guys our reality TV references, but that is sort of how I look at the world sometimes because I met my husband on reality TV. It's the difference between the bachelor and the real world. On the real world, you were just filled into a house and you're just having fun. And sometimes love comes out of these, you know, you have these long conversations. There's no

pressure because nobody's like pressuring you. The whole purpose of the real world isn't to date. It's just to live in this house and hang out. And hanging out, by the way, that's a whole concept that people have lost track. Just hanging out. Without your phone. Without your phone, just hanging out. The way we used to all meet at a certain place and we'd just hang out at that place or that restaurant or that fast food joint.

90210, the Peach Pit. The Peach Pit and 90210. But for some people it was Dairy Queen. For some people it was a McDonald's or a Perkins. Parties in here in Wisconsin. That's what it was at. People just hung out at this spot or it could have been in and I remember it could have been like at a playground like everyone just kind of found their way to this place and everyone just hung out there was no pressure for some people it's you know they do bonfires at night and all the young people get together this hanging out

where there's no pressure you're're so right. The difference is if you go to the bachelor, look at how tense all those weird meetings are where the bachelor meets these women, because there's so much at stake with each of those meetings. Instead of just hanging out and feeling loose and easy and just seeing where things go and no pressure. And that's what we need to get back to. And if you're listening to this or you're thinking about your daughter or your son or your granddaughter, talk to them about trying to create those kinds of moments with their friends, because that's where when lots of friends get together and lots of different friend groups

get together, that's where the magic happens magic can i just a couple of closing thoughts here sure you mentioned you jumped off that high dive board at the pool so when i was like eight or ten and the carnival came to town they had the zipper and i was scared crapless out of the zipper and i still have never been on the zipper i'm like yeah i'm sorry you guys all go like i see the carnies i put it together i'm like i'm sorry love you all but i'm not getting on the zipper and still haven't been on the zipper. I'm like, yeah, I'm sorry. You guys all go. I see the carnies. I put it together. I'm like, I'm sorry. I love you all, but I'm not getting on the zipper and still haven't been on the zipper. I'm still afraid of the zipper, not afraid of the high dive board. But also one last thought.

It comes back to what we said about what the DOJ and the FBI are trying to do to you. They're trying to make you afraid. And I said, be not afraid. And if you're dating, also be not afraid. Get out there. And if there's a way, if you're going on a date with all this pressure, try to relieve the pressure. Maybe go listen, I'm looking for a friendship. I want to get to know people. I want to get to know you. Who knows what it develops into. or finding someone to date can take what would be a good match for you out of the mix. Because neither of you can deal with the pressure appropriately,

and you can't get beyond that to some real connection that the two of you may have. So there's so many more problems today. It's so much easier, but then so much harder to find love. And at a time when we have a birth rate that is below the replacement rate of 2.2 babies per woman, we need more families. We need more babies. We need more love to make all that happen. And so thinking through the troubles that come from online dating to app dating to now AI concierge dating can make you more successful. One last tip, and we've talked about this a little bit before, Sean, but if you're somebody, here's a little pro tip.

If you are ordering your groceries or your food through an app, again, you're taking that human connection out. Go to the grocery store. Get your food. Maybe chat up somebody who's in an aisle. I'm not saying for dating purposes, but for practicing human interactions with people that aren't just your, your, your family members. Um, talk, if you're a guy and you're afraid to talk to women, talk to the lady who's checking out your groceries for you. Um, you know, how are you doing?

Nice weather today. You know, I mean, start with some small talk where the stakes are not high, right? She's just checking out your stuff. And instead of being, you know, sort of putting your head down and looking at your phone or whatever, have an interaction with a woman that, you know, is maybe 69 years old, maybe she's turning up, but just get used to interacting. Get off of these apps and convenience purchases all the time so that you're forced to interact with people as a customer and in other settings. I think it's baby steps. I really think we're underestimating how afraid young people are to just have interactions because normal everyday things that we did in the 60s, 70s, 80s, even 90s that forced us to

interact with people because just to get through life, those have been all removed from life and put on their phones. So they're just not talking to people that they don't know. My last point of last points. So I noticed that at Fox, right? So at Fox, there's all these elevator banks. People are going up and down. I'm always friendly to people in the elevator. But if you're looking at dating someone, you could talk to someone in the elevator. Hey, how are you doing? I mean, be conversational.

Be nice if you're in a line. Don't be creepy. No, no, but be nice. But if you're in line, you could be nice. Also, if someone goes to Starbucks, which I do not, but if you do, you can order your drink in advance and just walk in, pick it up, and leave. But if you actually stand in line, who knows what hot young lass is going to be standing by you that you might strike up a conversation with. Or even build your skill sets of talking to women. If you're standing in line, you can try that all out.

But again, technology can reduce the opportunities for those chance meetings with who is supposed to be your spouse. It reduces the opportunities for chance meetings, and it reduces your skill at small talk. And that is a problem. That is. I don't like small talk. I always like big talk, like meaningful conversations. But you've got to start somewhere. And so just getting that hello out is going to be...

Hi, how are you? Aren't you glad you're not dating anymore? Thank God. But if you are, some pro tips from Rachel and Sean on how to make a little better using technology today to find love tomorrow. So listen, great topics today from protesters on college campuses

You know what? I wish I had a social media concierge. Somebody who just handles all that stuff. Because I don't really like to be on social media. I would rather be offline. Rachel is my social media concierge. I do. I am his.
