A TikToker by the name of Henry Beasley is facing a lot of backlash after he
posted a video of himself reacting to a child who was crying,
but quite honestly screaming on a flight for his 29 hour trip to Berlin.
No, I would look, planes are purposely set up to be torture chambers already.
Without the screaming child with the screaming child especially on
a 29 hour trip, I can understand the frustration, I can.
Now, I don't know how I feel about this story, so let's give you more,
and then we'll talk it out, we got to see the video of course.
And with that said, here is the original TikTok video he posted.
>> Break my 29 hour flight to Berlin.
>> Man.
>> Wow.
>> Yeah, that was bad, that's tough.
>> Some people are mad at him.
>> People are mad at him, so this has now caused a heated debate, it's hot.
Many commenters do sympathize with him, and how could you not?
Honestly, the sound of children crying is a very difficult sound to deal with
like I have young nieces and when one of them is like inconsolable, just cry.
It drives me crazy because it's like they're upset, I don't know,
it's just a terrible sound like it sounds like they're in distress and
you wanna make it stop.
>> Yeah, and
maybe you don't have a closet that you could put them in like a soundproof door.
>> No, he says this, honestly, there should be kid free flights and
kid flights.
No, this is an anonymous TikTok user who said that there should be kid free flights
and kid flights, they shouldn't let kids on flights longer than four hours, okay?
>> Noted both of us, that's too much.
>> Okay, so we'll talk about it.
>> We already can't get people on planes in America,
we're now gonna distribute between kids and no kid, and it's too much.
>> We live in a society.
>> We did.
>> Yeah, and there's a lot of people in that society.
>> The worst part of it.
>> And it's hard, it really is hard.
I just wanna say the parents of that screaming child,
I guarantee you feel absolutely awful and they would do anything to make it stop,
but sometimes it's just nothing works.
>> Yeah. >> And I can imagine the parents or
parent if it's just one of them, they're feeling embarrassed,
like who wants to draw attention to themselves in a negative way, right?
So like just take it easy on the parents like you got to be kind of understanding.
And like the reason why I say we live in a society, and there's a lot of people is
because, yeah, like it sucks, like you have to share space with people.
People have annoying habits or you deal with children who cry like in this case.
So like I wanna be understanding, but at the same time, I think the backlash
against this guy is a little overboard, so let's get to the backlash real quick.
So there are other people who have like called him out as being like a judgmental
insensitive prick, so let's take a look at this next video.
>> I've got some advice for you on this one actually stay home, don't go out in
public, there's kids there, baby, this is a you problem, not a them problem.
I know it sucks when there's a screaming baby on a plane, but I promise you
that nobody is more miserable than the parent of that child right now.
Because they're the ones who are having so much anxiety and
stress over the fact that they can't calm the baby down.
And they know that that child is pissing all of you off,
and there's nothing they can do about it.
They can't go somewhere else, they can't take their baby somewhere else,
they're on an international flight, a 29 hour flight.
I can almost guarantee it's for something necessary not vacation and
maybe it is vacation, people travel with their kids.
I know it sucks, put your headphones on, take a nap,
you don't have to deal with that screaming baby.
You just have to hear it, that poor parent has to deal with that the entire flight.
>> You know what?
I just realized earplugs.
>> Well, he had a look, noise canceling,
headphones are more common than they've ever been, that's helpful.
Now, you don't always necessarily wanna have noise canceling headphones in.
Because at least for me it can like having no sound in the high pressure environment
actually can be really like it can make you feel sick too.
But anyway, I think I don't really understand the point of the first video,
the second one, she's trying to be nice.
The second one is the second one I think is a perfectly
reasonable response to a video that he didn't put out.
Unless he put out other videos, his video didn't show the kid,
it didn't show the parents, it didn't say I hate these parents, they're the worst.
He's not the one saying the plane shouldn't have kids on it,
he's just saying this is annoying, he's not judging the parents.
>> I get real worked up.
>> So I just, I don't understand what problem they have with him.
>> Okay.
>> He didn't show them.
>> Okay, I'm gonna speculate, this is clearly speculation
because I don't know these people at all, but I'm speculating that they
took it personally almost like they were attacked because they're likely parents.
Well, that's what I'm saying, it's a response to something he's not saying.
>> Yeah.
>> Like for instance, the second woman said what you said, which is they're
probably having a worse experience than you, noted, I'm still annoyed.
Like I can fully understand that and maybe he did,
it doesn't make the noise less annoying.
So why can't he post a thing that only shows his own face is pitched to be
comical, like he's talking about like great stamina and stuff like that?
He didn't say screw these parents they're the worst, I feel like they're
responding to other stuff that annoys them that he is not actually doing.
>> That's a fair point, I think that's a fair.
>> Which they're allowed to do in the same way he's allowed to respond to the baby.
>> I think that the solution to speech you don't like is more speech, and
that's what we're seeing here.
>> [LAUGH] You free speech absolutist.
>> [LAUGH] So all right, look, I'm just, I'm so torn on this story,
I really am, because I understand both sides.
>> I don't understand what you're saying he shouldn't have put up the video,
who is the video hurting?
>> Okay, so here's the thing about social media.
Okay, if you post something, there will be people who are upset.
You could literally post about how you're having a fantastic day and
you saved puppies from a certain death and like someone will be offended by it.
It's just the nature of social media, it just is, which is why I went from like,
I remember I used to post on Instagram all the time, it's like torture.
>> But isn't Instagram a little bit more free from that sort of stuff?
>> It's better, and I think it has better, like protections against the trolls and
all the annoying people who try to like come in and
rain on your parade when you just want them to leave you alone.
But even still, right?
Something that you might think is totally harmless,
someone will get take something out of it and be like deeply offended by it.
So look, I don't have a problem with him posting it,
I also don't have a problem with people like criticizing him for it.
Yeah, so there's one other video I wanna get to, and this is a mom who actually
refers back to the whole notion of maybe having some child free
flights as an option for people who don't wanna deal with kids who are crying.
So let's take a look at that.
>> There are so many people in this comment section who are saying that they
would pay extra for kids free flights, and you know what?
Please pay extra for kids free flights, make the flights with the kids cheaper,
and just only allow parents with kids so that we can all help each other.
We can share snacks, we can swap iPad chargers,
we can let each other get up to go to the bathroom.
We can all just have a compassionate kind loving flight without people
who are judgmental and horrible to these tiny human beings who have
a right to public transportation just like every human being does.
So I think that sounds amazing, please pay extra.
Blue Hair, have you met Americans and
especially parents like she sounds lovely, she's lovely, but
that's the thing, she's projecting her loveliness onto others.
I have witnessed how parents are with one another, and they're the most
judgmental people literally on the planet, are you kidding me right now?
Probably, I'm not against that idea like try it, it would be a fun experiment.
But like the idea that it would be like this egalitarian like utopia where all
the parents are like you're a great parent and
I am not judging you as your child screams at the top of their lungs.
I swear to you, you are wonderful, I don't buy it for a second, I don't,
I would put money on it.
Like there's no way, like people are people it doesn't matter if you have kids
or not, people are people at the end of the day.
And right now, we're in this like environment,
this climate of like nastiness whether you have kids or not.
>> [LAUGH] We we are, and I just,
I don't think that his video is a great example of it.
Like that's why I would say to the people on the other side about the let's just
have a flight without the kids as if that's the only annoying thing on flights.
Let's not have flights with people who are picking fights with flight attendants or
people who get on there that are actively ill and sneezing all over the place.
Or that wanna talk to you nonstop when you clearly don't want to,
there's a lot of sources of annoyance on a plane.
>> Airlines specifically designed the whole situation to be one massive
inconvenience and annoyance, like that's the whole point.
They want it to be so tortuous, this is the business model,
like it's on the record.
Their business model is, let's make people so uncomfortable that they're willing
to potentially pay literally thousands of dollars extra to like fly in first class.
Which by the way like first class ain't all that either,
it's like you might be able to sit and not have your knees touch the seat
in front of you, you might maybe, maybe, maybe, like it's crazy.
>> You're at least shorter than my knees are always pressed up against the back.
>> Yeah, you and Christian, you guys are really tall.
>> Which always surprises people when they meet us for some reason, I don't know why.
>> I'm not tall.
>> [LAUGH] Maybe because on these chairs were made to all look like
they're the same.
But anyway, look, I personally think that the only solution to all of these
problems, and maybe it'll help out the parents as well as the people who don't
like the sound is when you get on the plane, and you turn, and
it's like the first flight attendants like welcome to the flight or whatever.
As soon as you turn, a second flight attendant should pop out of a hidden
compartment and jab you in the neck with a paralytic or something.
Like you should just be put out for the flight, and
then they cart you out when the plane gets where you're going, and
they just leave you there and eventually wake up and go about your life.
I don't think anyone should be conscious on a plane should knock you out.
>> It sounds like how our medical system treats people with mental health issues.
>> But let's turn it to to the use of good.
>> Okay, no, I would love to be heavily sedated on a flight like where I
don't even know I'm on the flight.
>> Yeah.
>> Want to be great if they offered like an anesthesiologist, it's like you wanna
pay a little extra, we'll knock you out for the entirety of the flight.
>> Yeah. >> I do It.
[LAUGH] $1,000 upcharge fine.
>> [LAUGH] All right, but by the way, who cares what we think?
We wanna know what you think.
So we actually have a pull on this TYT dot com slash polls if you wanna participate.
Is this TikToker guilty of complaining about a screaming baby on his flight to
options, guilty not guilty?
>> What does that even mean, is he guilty?
>> You're very defensive on behalf of this.
>> That's so vague I would say, is he in the wrong?
Should he not have posted it?
Should he be banned from flights?
>> Don't question the methodology is very scientific.
>> Yeah, he did complain, what does guilt mean in this context?
I'm like Jordan Peterson, I just break down every word.
>> What do you mean do?
>> [LAUGH] what do you mean for?
>> [LAUGH]
