I needed to do something a little different today. Love yo faces and see you Monday!
"helped babies"
Philip DeFranco can you become my dad
Yo Phil are you going to talk about TotalBiscuit (John Baine)
hey Philip , how can i send you a story ?
Actually, the biggest news of the day is that Tommy Robinson has been arrested and ALREADY sent to prison for 13 FREAKIN' MONTHS!!!
Unbelievable.
I'm an Australian mum, who had to have anti D injections 3 times during my pregnancy. This man is an amazing human being.
Fiberific! Me too! I had no idea that the anti bodies were so hard to come by!
Fiberific! I'm one of the babies, he is amazing! So happy you both had healthy babies!
Fiberific! That's so awesome
This guy saved 5 of my nieces and nephews then... And I had no idea.
Right on, man. That's awesome. I'm an organ donor, so when I kick out, hopefully someone can keep on living thanks to my organs. Granted, if I die of old age, ain't NONE of that shit gonna be useful to anyone. But in case not, I'm all for recycling.
As a 8 year Leukemia survivor, who would not be here today due to strangers blood and platelet donations and modern chemotherapy, I thank all those who have donated a piece of them to save another person's life.
It's the ultimate selfless gift to give.🧡
So happy to see you on the trending page Phil !
He didn't say anythign about the crappy stuff YT is doing... so the gods let me in.
It's quite amazing ain't it? I'm sure it's a fluke and will be promptly corrected.
He should be trending more often
Joseph Wolfson
If it was based on actual viewership he'd be trending every single day of the week, but instead he trends every day of the shark week.
Yes, kyle, you are correct.
I just think Phil deserves to be trending, but he isn't because of what advertisers like in videos.
*That man better get the best paid retirement they can afford for him*
if they don't set this guy up, they're fucked.
Make a blood transfusion horror stories
The sad thing is, if he'd been in america, there's a good chance he would join the millions of aging adults who are, or will be screwed by the repbulican's plans for social security in the next few years.
Darkness Prevails Lol not in this day and age. You have to be the most dramatic and the most useless to society to make it big these days, aka logan paul and jake paul.
Should build a fucking statue to him!
Did...did this guy save my baby??
Both my babies had this vaccine.....
I can’t imagine what would happen without it
Emily MacIsaac yes he did !
If you’re from Australia, yes he did!
I don’t know! Didn’t watch the video yet!
My mother only just explained all of this to me last weekend(I'm 31). I can't believe that this isn't more commonly known, this man should be revered around the world.
Either him or someone like him for sure!!!
I live this, Phil. Thanks for highlighting this awesome man. You should do a segment once a week highlighting something powerful or beautiful in the world.
Daniel Fernandez YES!!!!! 👍👍👍
Who else thought the title was talking about the football player
Tarun Rajanala it’s y I clicked on this vid
FTN Iceberg or because a professional football player is easily recognizable 🤔
Me
Tarun Rajanala I’m from Pittsburgh and I was kinda excited to see wha this guy had to say ab him and it wasn’t him lol
Yes 😂
Usually when Phil has a title like "We gotta talk about...." I expect something horrible
Tibasu Right?! I almost didn't click on it. I'm tired of shitty people. He should change the title and thumbnail for this one. 😑
I think it’s meant to give you the false expectations of bad thing coming into the video and then flips them on your head making you feel so much better about it and gives you a slightly more positive attitude than when you came in.
same. lol
I don't think it's meant to subvert expectations at all. Phil just likes doing it cause to him it's 'good' clickbait. He even talked about it before. Since he isn't lying about what's in the video, it's not seen as clickbait, to most people anyways
Can one day a week on this channel be devoted to heroes like this. Just a video a week where you help spread the news about someone who’s doing something amazing.
James Harrison and people like him deserve all the recognition in the world.
Rough Butter seriously! My favorite part of Phil's shows has always been today in awesome. Give us more awesome Phil!
It would be great for a reminder that there is good in the world...sometimes it's hard to remember.
Make it once a month. I dont want these heroes stories getting too common, that all those rude people start leaving hateful comments.
Thanks for spreading the positivity! Something we could all use a little more of.
Agreed
This guy is my hero! I’m only 16, but I’ve been donating ever since my birthday! I hope to do whatever I can to save as many people as I can!
FLUFFELBUNZ and take more selfies
I was expecting something horrible but I'm so glad this was such a positive story
Me too, happy double ice cream cone to James also.
*SPOILER ALERT!* jkjk
A little bit of Monika samee
Same
I am a beneficiary of wonderful people like James Harrison. I had to receive 3 injections of RH factor blood in order to keep from losing my daughter or having her have severe birth defects. I have a happy, well adjust 4 year old who just got enrolled in kindergarten. Thank you to all of the amazing people like James who made that possible for me.
The people who disliked this video are the reason im losing faith in humanity, and the reason I needed to watch this video in the first place to regain it.
I thought this was about the other james Harrison
You type of people are so annoying. Why do you focus so much on negativity? You oppose it but you can't look away from it.
heckin' dang you type of people are so annoying. Why do you focus so much on comments you find annoying? You oppose the annoyingness but you can’t look away from it.
qwertmanmud had to vent somewhere
heckin' dang ok I just hope you realize that all your reply did was add more negativity. The original comment wasn’t even that negative, I said I was regaining faith in humanity from this video.
Fukin Top Bloke Award goes to this fukin top bloke!
SunnyZ AUSTRALIA MATE!
STRAYA REPRESENT WOOO
Aussies bring what they got to the table what a bloody legend!
Bloody top cobba or what, maaaaate?
Ahhh love my country. Aussie pride!
Before video: Who's James Harrison? What did he do? Is he a politician?
After video: This man deserves sainthood. And a hug.
This wonderful man was the reason I started donating blood in the first place, and 10 donations later I feel more satisfaction than I thought I could with having a needle in me (I hate needles so much). Thank you James, the world wouldn’t be the same without you ❤️
This man saved my life and my three children. I'm A negative, so this literally saved my boys. I cannot thank.him enough
I hope you guys do more positive stories like this. It always seems like the good in the world is overshadowed by the problems and drama. As important as it is to be informed about the kind of stuff, I'd really enjoy finding some peace in a story like this every week at the least.
Abbreviated Reviews I agree, it's a nice change of pace
Hear hear!
This would be a great thing to do on Fridays. "End the week on a positive". Highlighting great people like this, happy stories, etc. We should be trying to change the narrative of what makes people newsworthy or famous, because right now it's very bleak as to who gets the most attention in the world.
Please make this a regular segment!
So refreshing to focus on the BAMFs for an entire video.
Edit: OMFG and it got to #1 on trending?! This could be a partial remedy for the stagnating growth as well! People are lusting for content like this, and I'm sure it's gotta feel nice talking about the best humanity has to offer, after focusing on garbage people and strife day in and day out.
I mean... are there enough BAMFs in the world to make this a regular segment? >_>
Phoebe Sulistio of course!
They just don't get enough recognition
pervychipmunks this should be a regular segment giving a little light on those real heroes!!!
Exactly! I need to hear good news to balance out the all the bad.
I actually learned about this guy yesterday. What a hero. #HerosDontNeedCapes
Hey Phil, thank you for sharing James Harrison's story. I remember being in school as a kid, and being taught his story and encouraged to donate as well. Thanks for sharing an absolute hero to us Aussies, and hopefully it'll help encourage others to donate as well!
Please share more story like this =) We all need to celebrate more unsung hero like James!!
Let's talk about Tommy Robinson's illegal arrest! Phil's in America, so the British government can't arrest him for talking about it!
Please subscipe me😙😙😙
I've been donating blood every eight weeks since I was first allowed, and I'm going on 7 years now. Like James, I have magic blood. I'm O negative, RSV negative. I'm a universal donor and a supposedly rare subset of which that does not RSV antibodies in my blood. That means out of the nearly million people in my city, I'm told I'm one of very few who can donate blood to any baby born prematurely. Like James, I was donating blood anyway. Blood transfusions saved my brother's life before I was even born, and so when I came of age I decided that even if I did nothing else of benefit to others with my life, I could at least give up a little time and a little blood one day every eight weeks. But one day a nurse told me about how special my blood was, and now there's not a damn thing anybody could ever do to make me stop donating my blood. You couldn't pay me to keep my blood to myself. Bless you, James, and bless anyone who donates blood. My next day is actually next Friday :)
MY MAN
I was a premature baby (30 weeks with a twin sister) married to a former 24 week premature baby who had to have several surgeries requiring him to have blood transfusions, I thank you.
That's so cool, I find it so fascinating that someone is randomly born with a universal blood.
Do your parents also have it? Your siblings/family members? I wonder how it all works with your special kind of blood.
It's like a superpower in a way, and you're every vampire's dream hahah
I'm so glad that giving, selfless people like you exist in this world. It's so easy to focus on the negative and you are literally changing the lives of people that you haven't or might not ever meet. You are an inspiration. Thank you.
As a mother I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
So happy to see you get on trending but I believe your videos should be trending everyday. Your other videos are wonderful and informative. Your my hero!
thank you for this. I had actually stopped watching your videos and avoiding the news cause I found that after hearing all the horrible things that were happening in the world I felt hopeless. seeing stories like this makes the world seem a little brighter
I am RH negative, and because of lovely people like this man donating their blood antigens, I was able to get the Rhogam shot with each of my pregnancies and have three healthy little boys. Without that, I wouldn't have been able to have more than one child (if my first pregnancy went without any complications, that is). Thanks for shedding light on this amazing man, Phil! 🙏❤
I love that this is being talkes about because I know the pain RHD causes. Ive lost 3 babies -2 miscarriages 1 stillborn and I finally got my rainbow baby because of that precious life saving shot. Thank you so much to people like James Harrison because without him and others like him I would have never gotten to be a mother and its all ive ever wanted--Thank you James oj behalf of all mothers who KNOW how important what you've done really Is!!
Congratulations :) I'm happy medicine has come so far.
Courtney Marks I'm sorry for three losses
I hope being a mother brings you wonderful happiness, it is a beautiful thing.
Courtney Marks not to be that guy but adoption is a thing... there are lots of ways for women who can’t make or carry babies themselves to become mothers. There are lots of babies without families.
im so sorry for your loss and im glad it work out for you in the end
This guy is awesome, and his continual efforts as a blood donor are great. I've been donating blood since I was a junior in high school, I can only hope to keep going till I am 81. Please continue this series.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful heartwarming story. His contributions mean so much to so many.
An everyday hero that I have unfortunately never heard about prior to today. James, you are an inspiration and it's humbling to hear from someone like you that saved lives and never expected the recognition.
Phil I loved this and I can't wait to see who the next one is on
I've had over 70 blood transfusions done so I'm thankful for people like James
Kenny 92 why do people get transfusion
Some people have bad blood and need it replaced or not enough blood and need more. There's more reasons but those are some of the main reasons.
Kenny 92 Right there with ya brother!
MOE it's often a very necessary part of any major surgery.
I has blood transfusions because my kidneys shut down (lupus) and my blood was toxic ( septicemia ) saved my life .
Hi Philip, G'day from Australia. Thanks for this story yes a very special man we have here. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much Phil! I learnt about James a few years ago, and he is the reason I wanted to donate blood. I'm ashamed to admit I forgot about his efforts in the few years, but it's great to see his story getting shared all across the world by you.
Usually these kinds of stories stay within the confines of our own countries, not only Australia but others too, and rarely make global news, so it's good to see these types of stories getting out there, and becoming and inspiration worldwide.
Everyone should learn from James and donate blood at least once a month. Make it an effort to go to the hospital and donate. God knows it would make a huge difference. And you could very well be the next James Harrison, or perhaps better, without even knowing it yet.
I LOOOOVE that you made a positive "news" story. I always say I wish the news covered more positive stories and then, here you are. Thank you Phil and thank you James Harrison.
Yea I think we all wish that. The problem is that negative articles sell more papers, get articles watched more, and get more people to watch broadcasts. Therefore from a business standpoint its much more logical to cover all the bad things and ignore the good. The way I see it is that people love to hate more than they love to love.
I donate when I can, but I once donated bone marrow and just recently received a card from the family I helped and I still view that as my greatest achievement in my life.
how was that process? was it painful? would you do it again?
That's pretty awesome. I'm registered for bone marrow donation but it still scares me a little. Hopefully I can help some one, one day.
ShannonCR if they don’t give you anything, it’ll probably be the most painful experience of your life (going off my medical family members)
But it balances out with how extra important that stuff is. Harder work for harder pay, basically.
ShannonCR it was definitely painful and I had about two weeks of recovery afterward, but I would definitely do it again
Sepoohroth People like you & James are amazing. My mum received a bone marrow/stem cell transplant early this year from a matched donor from Germany & it worked. He wrote a card to his "genetic twin" & it brought us all to tears. He gave my mum a second chance after everything else had failed & for that, I'm incredibly grateful & full of admiration for people like him, you & all the donors around the world.
I’m feeling inspired. I’m also not very fond of needles...terrified actually. But seeing this man keep going through this despite his distaste for needles...makes me think I should be doing more too. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Luv ya Philly Dee. Thank you for this story. Much appreciated. I hope to meet you one day.
I watched, I cried. I was happy. I felt a sense of human decency renewed. I felt grateful... I shared this amazing story. Thank you Phil.
I thought of the phrase "We need more people like this in the world!", come to think it, maybe there are tons of generous, live saving people all around the world, but just don't get any type of recognition.
In an age where negative news travels fast, let's always remember to try to share the accomplishments of others who decide to do good in this world for someone else, out of the kindness of their hearts. Maybe it'll inspire more people to do the same.
James Burgess honestly I'm too cynical at this point because of fake stuff on twitter. Whenever I see a story, positive or negative, my first instinct is to doubt it's validity.
This is the realest comment ever
+James Burgess
Yeah, I definitely think there's lots of generous, good people in the world, it's just that no one cares to talk about it because we view it as the "norm" and not worthy of praise, and we care far more about knowing of bad things than good things.
Sadly enough, mankind needs only 1 negative news to invalidate 10 positive deeds
When you do things right people won't notice you've done anything at all.
I don't think I've ever cried so hard to a video. This was so sweet! What a wonderful video!
Such an amazing heartfelt story. Thanks for the inspiration James Harrison and thanks Phil for sharing his story! (:
I hope that you continue covering positive stories like this
tired of bad news and outrages
please more positivity
I was one of those babies, I never realized the amount of miscarriages from my same situation. I never even thought or heard about this man before but I am so thankful for him today or else I may have not been writing this comment at this moment or ever.🙏🏻🙌🏻👏🏻❤️
LOVED this video Phil. I hope you start doing more of these! So great to hear positive news.
this was amazing, thank you for sharing! Can we have more videos like this one? About the people doing good in the world because I feel like we get so focused on the bad that we forget there are still people - many, many amazing people - like James Harrison. You can't change the world, but you can help some of the people living in it and that is just as good and important
I have heard of this guy. My Mom has been getting transfusuions for the last year or so and has recently found that she has a rare blood type similar to this. Without people like James, she couldn't get the blood she needs. Thanks James! And thank you for sharing this good news :-)
James Harrison is the kind of man I want to be
But you are him. You're a human being. You may have different blood or the same blood, but all it takes is donating blood since other people could use it. It's not hard to say "i want to help".
I donated blood a few months ago and enjoyed the thought that I could be helping those in need. I went to donate blood again a few weeks ago and wasn't allowed to because of an irregular heartbeat. I'm not sure why but I honestly cried afterwards over it.
Love this video! Donating blood and platelets is super easy! I starting with a friend and even though we don't talk anymore, I still continue to go as often as I can because I have the time and the want to do even as little as I can. As a college student, I am broke, so I can't donate to charitable organizations but my blood keeps pumping so I keep donating. Love that you made a positive video like this! James is a true hero!
The church across the street from my work is having a blood drive until 7 pm. I get out of work at 6. I think I'll be making a stop before going home tonight and donate.
Make sure you drink some water and don't go in on an empty stomach. Donating blood can make you light headed or cause fainting if you don't take proper precautions
Can we not sir? I assume this is a joke, but can we just not today? Can we just keep it purely positive about the good stories and good people of this world?
This is truly incredible. Thank you for sharing Phil
I'm not crying..... My emotions are just leaking from my eyeballs.......
.....
....
😭 That guy is AMAZING, and amazingly humble..... I donate as regularly as my body will allow. This is the kind of awesomeness I strive for ☺️
I loved this video Phil, definitely needed a little light in all the dark recently and I doubt I’m alone in that. Thank you!
This is such a nice change of pace. I’ve never been eligible to donate blood and probably won’t be able to for a long time, but I wish I could. What a great guy and great story.
If its something you feel passionate about, there may be other ways to get involved! Encourage people you know to donate, see if any organization near you needs volunteers.... just a thought!
Gina Stewart That’s very true. Thank you :)
I weigh 50kg XD and i'm not reliable with staying above 50kg
Same here. I found out about a year ago I have type B- blood. Since then, I've been trying to gain up to the 110 lb cutoff, but to no avail.
Lane I’m pretty much in the same boat, pretty sure I’m O- but I’ve been underweight for almost all of my life. Not the easiest to gain but hopefully we’ll get there someday
Makes you realize how precious life is and how each day should be cherished. I used to donate blood when i turned 18 but over timed just stopped going. I'm only 22 now but everyday I get calls from American Redcross asking to donate because of my blood type, but I always say I'm "busy" or "maybe another time". Seeing this man and his story hit me how selfish that can be and how much lives could have been changed simply from me taking an hour out of my day. Thank you Phil for helping me realize this and will definitely make an appointment.
Yeah they blow up my phone sometimes but i never block them. I need to go in. Im a universal plasma donor for peat's sake! Everyone can take my plasma BUT not my blood. only my blood type can receive my blood BUT my blood type can receive from ALL blood types. (So whole blood is useless to donate for me xD) so its always a long process because of theses "valves" in my arm. Takes twice as long for me sadly.
AB+ for those curious. 3% of population
Same with me. I'll start donating again soon and plan to continue up in till I'm old like James.
Yeeep I have type O negative blood and I know that’s in very high demand, but unfortunately I can’t donate blood because I have tattoos! It’s a real shame too because I think one of the only reasons they have that rule is because of a general “tattoos are dirty, you probably have hepatitis” stigma
Esmeralda Castro if you got them in a licenses facility, depending on your location, they don't care anymore. They update the rules every year
Love stories like this! Positive messages like this are more of what we need these days.
What an absolutely incredible person! I needed a story like this today so thank you :')
Nice to see a positive video instead of the usual. It's good to be reminded of the good that is still in the world ;)
Having had a child 18 months ago, my partner had these very injections derived from this man's blood. Thank You James Harrison. You Bloody legend ❤✌
Bloody legend indeed
erm4gundr 😉✌❤
This video has really touched my heart! I’m so grateful for this show! Thank you. 🙏
What a beautiful story, what a beautiful person
Thank you so much for sharing this story. It is true, we focus on the negative to much these days.
What a treat this is to see something beautiful and certainly nothing short of miraculous
James Harrison is a true hero I'm crying so much
Zena lmao pussy
This man is one of the reasons my daughter is alive today 💖💖💖
Thank you for this Philly D! The world is so divided by our opinions, our issues, and our beliefs that it often feels we're at the edge of a cliff for humanity. Shining a light on James Harrison has elevated that sense of dread that I feel. For a brief moment I felt I could look at another person without a sense of dread of triggering them in the wrong way or being ignorant in some form or another. It's a pleasant feeling that there are people out there that, despite all the differences, can bring it home that it takes very little to being a hero to so many you haven't a clue too whom they may be and in turn being united through that very means of heroism.
I hope you continue this series, obviously you'll work yourself ragged if you do it daily. I hope you can at least do it weekly and maybe preferably every Friday like you did this one, that way we can meet the end of every week with a small, but colossal hero that can eventually turn all of this mind blowing dividing hate around.
AND thank you JAMES HARRISON for being a life saving hero to so many people and children, your part was small but it was an underestimated impact that left many grateful and looking toward the future.
So glad you shared this with us :). Just shows theres still good people in the wolrd
Feel good Fridays should be the new normal. Please, we need it
Evan Keough yes!!
I THOUGHT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE FOOTBALL PLAYER LOOOL
Jake me too
Jake same
Yup me too
Jake same
YEPPPPP
This video is different than your usual content, and very refreshing. Great to see you starting down this direction. Can't wait to see more.
Loved today's vlog Phil! Thank you for the reminder and the inspirational story!
Gold old JH, happy to see that he continued doing for as long as he could. Such a humble, kind individual, who is the reason for millions of lives saved. Those babies he saved have kids and even grand kids of their on now, AMAZING STORY!! Make this a film somebody please :)
Why I watch Philip DeFranco...this shit right here. This helps me through another week to do better. Bless you Phil.
Gives that warm feeling in your heart right? It's a good feeling, I wish more stories like this happened.
tomrulz444 see 4
damn I love this channel
This is awesome. I'd LOVE to see more content like this in the future!!
Thank you for this Phil! My soul needed this ❤ Blessings to you , Lindsay and your beautiful babies 😊
The Man With The Golden Arm is also...

*plays generic "Ahhh" sound clip*
I love this video. Thanks for putting this story in the spotlight, man!
This might have been my favorite video of yours *ever*. These days it's as if I lose a little more faith in humanity every day so stuff like this is so incredibly refreshing. Please do this more often!
Great show. Just gotta say how much I appreciate the showcasing of such a wonderful person deserving of recognition. We need more of this in our news. Thank you.
I read an article on him about a month ago and it was awesome!! My sister has the same antibodies and gives regularly. Bless this man for giving his blood and time.
Tell your sister I said thanks :)
Please make Fridays positive news stories! Give us hope in the weekends.
That would honestly help a lot.
Hope he see this comment! That would be amazing!
Actually, I could use it more on Mondays, but I feel ya!
Yes! Great idea!!
Today was really sad for me. Someone I hold in high regard, John Bain, has passed. Was hoping Phil would cover it.
So cool I needed this marathoning your show can be tough because I don't watch daily because the awful gets to me but I needs my news. Love you all
Thanks for the heartwarming story! Glad to learn about (and from) this hero.
Please do more stories like this. There is so much negativity in our media, we often forget about the good stuff. These are the things that really matters.
I’M SO EXCITED THAT THIS IS #1 ON TRENDING!! James deserves it and so does Phil. ❤️❤️❤️
LaurelFlowers oh thanks for letting us know who deserves what! Can you also tell us the meaning of life? Lol
Marvin Carey aren't u a peach... Does your mom think you don't deserve love? my guess yes
I'm actually shocked that Phil is on trending at all. I was sure that he was secretly blacklisted from it just like Pewdiepie.
Faith McDaniel reported
Welding! th-cam.com/video/-btXmvpnVC8/w-d-xo.html
Phil, thank you so much for sharing Mr. Harrison's story. There is so much bad news in the world and hearing stories like this bring a little light to the darkness.
Refreshing video and nice hearing James speak about donating so casually 💛 I haven't been able to go since there's restrictions when you visit certain countries, so I'm excited to be able this August!
Really thought this was going to be something bad about the football player but I’m glad it ended up being something amazing
me2
Intelligent Money Investing same
Same lol. When he said you’ve never heard of James Harrison, I was like huh what 97 yard pick six
Great series idea! I imagine you could find no end to the number of people that selflessly try to restore humanity. It could offset some of the craziness going on in the world.
That actually sounds like a really nice idea
Wicked Fifth it's technically true that world becomes better every year, just for whatever reason we concentrate on bad things/news
Bad news sells better then good news, people want things to hate.
D B and he totally admitted he is responsible for the over population....
I love this Phil thank you so much for sharing! I love the positivity and this man is amazing ❤
I loved this, great Friday video!!! Keep em coming Philly D.
I'm sad because reading the title of the video I thought he shot a bunch of people and I'm ashamed of thinking that but I'm very glad I was wrong.
Grant - Saturn just to let you know, Phil has been VERY upfront about his refusal to release the names and faces of the shooters, assaulters, and so on
I know. I knew he wouldn't but I was just saying I was expecting something bad which is why I'm disappointed in myself.
Honestly, I think that was on purpose. Phil and/or his team wanted to throw us for a bit of a loop to make an even greater impact.
Grant - Saturn
Uh uh. No. Don't you dare feel ashamed for thinking that. It is not your fault that psychos and low-life cowards exist and "do things". It was not illogical for you to have thought something horrible was committed and is reported by a news channel no matter what channel it may be. You can't be blamed for assuming what has become too common, unfortunately.
So you take that "shame" and stuff it up the ass of some jackass that actually deserves it.
You don't, my dear. You deserve greatness.
I thought the same thing and then I was so confused because I know Phil's policy.
I’m from Australia and a blood nurse and the amount of selfless people that donate here astounds me every single day. It’s a thankless process because you never actually see the faces of the people you help, but here in Aus it’s such a huge community thing! It’s a coming of age thing staring in school when you turn 16, the donation bus comes around and you’re allowed an hour out of class (which none of us ever minded 😜) to go and save lives... Plus you get a sweet milkshake and cookie afterwards! For many, this then just continues through life as just one of the things you can give back with, that doesn’t really leave you without or any worse off.
Thank you to James Harrison for being a veteran donor! And thank you to every single other person who selflessly gives to others through blood. We’ve all got it, we all need it
Sounds like another issue we could learn a lot from Australia about here in the US.
I can't thumbs up any higher! This is a INCREDIBLE series to create in your company. Too much bad, not enough good. This is the good the world needs! You have such a reach in the news community that your position in media can start a new revolution of positive news. Thank you for using your talents and your team to add something positive to us all.
This is such an amazing story... We need more happiness in this crazy, and at times, disappointing world we all live in. It's nice to remember the heroes in our world, so often we are confronted with more enemies than we are heroes. Its a shame when the majority of the time the horrible people get more time in the spotlight than the people striving to make this world a better place for everyone. LOVE what you do on your show Phil, please keep it up. To be honest, as a viewer, I feel more comfortable coming to you for my daily news than I do my own local news station. Your inclusion to news stories from all over the country, and the world, has really opened my eyes to a lot of world issues. I am a more involved person because of you, I have more in-depth conversations because of your show (which for me always leads to me researching more about the topics you talk about). I hope you see this comment. Have a wonderful day everyone. And to all the James Harrison's of the world, and of course to the man himself: THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU ARE AND ALL THAT YOU DO. It is people like you that help me to keep my faith in humanity, something I struggle with sometimes.
Great story Phil! These are stories that give us hope! Kudos to James Harrison!
"No I don't like needles, I never looked once." Haha, what an absolute hero! This reminds me a lot of the Henrietta Lacks story with her "immortal" cells. Though that one didn't have that much of a happy resolution :c
Wow, when was the last time you hit trending. This has truly inspired me. Next year when I can donate blood I'll make sure to do so
Yes, more stories like this please. I love hearing all the good stories that get overlooked simply because they are not eye catching. This proves that you can gain media traction in the public with a team that is focused on reporting good news.
