The Australian government wanting to bring home a whistle blower after throwing the fucking book at David McBride, another whistle blower who more specifically targeted Australia's wrong doing, is wild.
My first child had Potters Syndrome and was making my wife sick. There was a chance both the mother and child would have died, if pregnancy continued in this case, and a 100% chance the child would not survive. Potters Syndrome means the child doesn't develop proper digestive organs or other organs not properly developing. In our case, our child didn’t develop a bladder and one kidney. There is no fix and no chance of transplant. The connective tissue and pathways aren't there, and there's nothing anyone can do. It was an extremely sad and difficult time in our lives. Given the extremely rare chance the child developed to full term, missing crucial organs and not killing the mother, we'd be gifted with a child in excruciating pain, crying non-stop for around 4 hours, then dying in our arms. These are the types of scenarios that terrify me. How sick does the mother have to get, with a child that won't survive 24 hours, before a doctor isnt scared to do what's right? Does the mother's heart have to stop beating? Does she have to carry the child for months in sadness, pain, and fear before a judge determines it's ok to end the suffering? What has this country come to, to get to this point. We live in a sad in between dystopia that should never have been allowed to occur. These religious right-wing nutjobs need to do the right thing and keep their fairytales, that help them sleep at night, out of our government and laws. This is 100% a back pedaling of humanity and it's truly terrifying.
They are lying when they say abortion goes against their religion. You know the punishment for inducing a miscarriage? A fine. Yes. A man hurting a pregnant woman to the point where she miscarries is a fine. Nothing else in any scripture mentions anything closer to abortion than that, otherwise, they're grasping at straws with the "all life is precious" BS
Reproductive autonomy & rights aside, these strict abortion laws are doing untold damage to individuals & families dealing with situations like yours. There've been people saying this from the start - overturning Row v Wade is going to kill people. Not the clumps of cells that are potential people but real, live, breathing people who deserve better.
Too many people have harry potter's syndrome, but don't worry, it's mostly a phase that will pass once they exit their teens. They will still like the books, ofc, but it won't be the only thing they ever talk about.
Kenyan here. The president is a person accused of crimes against humanity by the ICC. The prosecution dropped his charges because all the witnesses against his case were disappearing and being found dead. The current prosecutor Karim Khan was his defense lawyer back then. He has had multiple cases of grabbing public and private land. The most egregious was when he tried to grab land meant for an elementary school. When those small kids protested, they sent the police and they tear gassed some 10 year olds. All that was when he was the vice president. When he won the presidency, he removed subsidies and sharply increased taxes every chance he got. The reason for such tax measures is not for debt repayment as he claims(cause he has added to that by so much in 2 years). He, like all other african leaders, wanted to get his hands on foreign aid or loans so that he could enrich himself and his cronies. The problem he had was that the money from China, which came with zero strings, had dried up, and he looked to the IMF and the west. Unlike China, these western entities impose many restrictions for qualifications for such loans or grants, many to do with the removal of subsidies and raising more money to show an ability to pay back. So that is how a war criminal is trying to saddle a whole nation with a large financial burden, all because of his greed. I nearly forgot, the USA paid him $ 80 million to send police to Haiti, a country we have had no diplomatic ties with since both countries were formed. No one in Kenya likes him, and the protest has moved from the finance bill to demanding that he resign. On Thursday, the young people in Kenya will be moving to occupy the state house after successfully breaching parliament today(never done in history). Wish us luck.
Money from China never comes with zero strings, it's either mineral rights or something else. Something Kenya will never be able to get out of, basically parts of Kenya is now owned by china.
If everything that you're saying is true, then this guy is a worthless piece of shite who belongs in prison. Best of luck to the people of Kenya, much love from New Zealand.
Any genuinely caring adult is NEVER going to let a conversation with a minor ever get close to "inappropriate". The fact that this man with the career he had spent even a second messaging inappropriately with a minor or otherwise is beyond me.
That's a hell of a claim to make on behalf of the entire human race.... It's rather dismissive to pretend that there is absolutely no nuance, whatsoever, behind what people consider to be 'inappropriate'... I mean, you can pretend there is a clear, distinct, line between appropriate and not, but you ARE pretending...
Infant mortality rises after abortion ban??? Who could’ve possibly predicted this? Not everyone and their mother! Not people who acknowledged that the majority of people don’t decide to get abortions on a whim, but because they have to make a decision between two horrible options. Couldn’t be them… 🤦🏿
The crappy thing is the pro-forced birth crowd likely still sees this as a victory as they have said in the past that it is better for an infant to live in agony for the 10 days it is alive than to be aborted when severe defects are detected.
It’s really ironic that Dr. Disrespect, the guy who was so vocal defending his friend for saying a homophobic rhetoric like “leave the kids alone” was the one who couldn’t leave the kids alone.
Almost as if there is this sort of highly recognizeable mental defense mechanism that we as social animals have evolved? Like when you're highly insecure about something about your own character or you know you're doing something wrong you want to vocalize to others that you really do not associate with that thing? Projection. It's called projection.
Kenyan here. One of the worst governments ever only 2 years in. Beyond the tax hikes he is proposing, the actions of his government have been beyond tone-deaf. The amount of money being allocated to different government officials for frivolous things like office and house renovations, undisclosed discretionary spending and pointless travel is being increased almost 100% in some cases from the last budget. They have repeated the phrase "we need to tighten our belts" while literally wearing designer belts themselves and $30,000 watches. He recently took an expensive private jet to the States with a contingent of his political friends to borrow money from Biden and pal around with Steve Harvey and other celebrities. My payslip is deducted almost in half now with more taxes on the way while the politicians enjoy luxury. Gen Z led the charge on these protests and millennials and boomers are very proud of them. We will keep pushing back, the whole country is united in this which hasn't happened since 2002.
Also, he is sending police officers to Haiti to fight gangs when he had to call in the military to contain protests from unarmed students and young professionals because the police were overwhelmed. How does that make any sense?
@@TheMelManmeanwhile black Americans and identitarians are celebrating the Haiti move because "non black people cant be trusted to do this" -- this is the guy you want handling things?
@@chillin5703 We have been shouting from the rooftops, don't trust our president. It's like Game of Thrones between these leaders and we are the pawns. From the outside, people think he is pan-African and wants the best for black people so on the outside, black Americans buy into that message but it couldn't be further from the truth. If you look into our president's history, you will understand. This is a rabbit hole that gets worse the more you look into it. Also, we found out yesterday that the money that was promised to the police who have travelled to Haiti was slashed by 80% from what they were promised. Like I said, it ALL gets so much worse when you dig into the facts.
I have unfortunately known two women who have had babies with Trisomy 18 (Edward’s Syndrome) at the 19/20 week morphology scan. Unlike Trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome), it is almost always incompatible with life. Both women made incredibly brave and difficult choices. One decided to terminate, while their other had just started feeling her son move and chose to carry the pregnancy. I cannot fathom how it would feel to go through what she went through without it being her choice. It was a massive emotional burden (luckily we’re in Australia, so medical debt wasn’t an issue). It meant more frequent medical appointments including genetic counseling and constant monitoring while essentially waiting for her baby to die. At the same time, she had to prepare for the incredibly rare case that he could survive the pregnancy and birth. Those babies have a short, difficult, painful life filled with feeding tubes and discomfort. In the end, he died in utero at 30 weeks. The hospital couldn’t induce her until the Monday, so she spent the weekend with her dead boy inside her. When she was induced, as kind as the staff were in trying to keep her away from everyone, she still had to go to labour and delivery. She still had to see happy pregnant people. She still had to hear newborn cries while she was waiting to give birth to her beautiful boy. She cradled his urn while sleeping for years. He would have turned 11 in April and I know it still hurts her. Part of it is harder because of those 10 extra weeks she got to bond with him in utero. Nobody should ever have to go through that without the knowledge that they had a say in that decision. 💔
Not all, of course but the majority of the people making these horrible decisions are men. They don't know what it's like to carry a child. They don't understand that bond that you do get when you carry a child. Considering it is known that women truly grieve if they have a miscarriage after one month or even less. And to make someone carry a child who's going to die and then make her carry it when it's dead is beyond any words I can even come up with. And then I'll bet that their system won't even pay for the therapy she needs for being forced to go through that. Please give her my love and my thoughts.
I used to work with convicts. Try to guess how many of them thought they were the "bad guys," and how many thought that _their_ actions were completely justifiable, unlike those of the "real bad guys." With allegations like grooming, it's never black and white, but I've mysteriously never met a single man who believed he had groomed a minor. Not even the ones in jail serving time for it.
Paedos are the worst for victim blaming. Everything is someone else's fault and every minor inconvenience is persecution and a breach of their human rights. They constantly judge everyone around them then act all surprised when the other inmates are mean to them for the crimes they committed. They have zero understanding that their actions can and do have negative consequences.
I think people miss this idea so often. Even if someone feels justified in what they did, doesn't mean they are. This situation basically demands everyone ignoring how these kinds of interactions with minors actually affect the child long term. plenty of folks were traumatised as kids by weird adults messaging them online.
he was sexting and he did not knew she was a minor , he knew about that postfactum that's it, but people love attacking him because he's sucsesfull guy but ignoring and defending ones that rape and kill because they are refugees , Talking about double standards.
New Zealander here, absolutely baffled that US pensions came from your employers. Does that mean you were stuck with a company/industry until you retired, unless you give it up or the company goes under and you lose it anyway? Here it's from the government, and for all their faults, it doesn't hurt my job mobility, and I'm fairly confident the state will still exist in the coming decades.
What you call a government pension in NZ is what we call Social Security here in the USA, Social Security is the people's government run retirement fun. Like it is said in the video there is also pensions provided by employers and company matched 401k retirement funds. Every place I worked offered a 401k retirement plan and only 2 of them offered both a 401k and a employer backed pension. In other words it sucks hard to retire in the USA and the political parties do not see eye to eye on how to fix the problem they caused.
Eh it's really not that big of a deal here since most Americans will die of lack of healthcare long before we get to retirement age. 💀 (sarcasm btw. But not really. Send help we're dying)
There is always the chance that they will do the same thing the US government did with 401k's and use kiwisaver as an excuse to cut the pension or stop increasing it with inflation. We are not as safely far from that reality as we would hope
As someone that came to the USA from another country, I wish my country could partially use the same system. I like the Roth and 401K retirement systems because they allow me to save quite a bit of money that otherwise it would be out of my hands.
It’s absolutely disgusting to me that the Australian government can celebrate the (hopeful) release of Assange while also locking up whistle blowers. Talking out of both ends
To restate the point made in the video; There is a key technical difference between breaking an oath, and sharing the information that an oathbreaker provided to you.
"I didn't intend to be gross while I was being gross" is so not the defense some people seem to think it is. You can be disgusted by SA and still do SA (intentionally or not). Too many seem unclear on what is and is not appropriate and think well it wasn't fully SA so its not that bad. Anything inappropriate involving a minor... is bad.
We have degrees of bad. Even when it involves a death, we have 1st degree, 2nd dgree, manslaughter. And all of those have different sentences. Yeah this guy is gross and bad. But not nearly as evil as we've seen from a lot of other people lately involved in similar kinds of cases. This feels more like "manslaughter" than 1st or 2nd degree.
My Grandparents had a pension and got to retire at 55 with a house paid off and never had a worry. My parents had a 401k and got to retire at 60 with an almost paid off house and take annual vacations. I have no hope of retiring because I lived through two economic collapses and saddled with crippling student debt from a broken system.
Yep, my grandparents had humble middle-class positions and retired at 65 and haven't had to work a day since, now in their '90s. Their children are in their '60s and in no shape to retire comfortably But have equity in their homes and their children's children have no hope to even own a home for The foreseeable future.
@@astrowuff My grandparents were working class and retired at 60. My parents were middle class and took early retirement at 60. My state and occupational pensions have been pushed back to 67 so I'm hoping I'll be able to semi retire from 60 and retire at retirement age, whatever they've put it up to by then.

I have watched a LOT of your videos with my wife, but have never commented before. Tonight you talked about something I NEED to comment on. I am 40 years old. My wife and I are both teachers in the same school district. Our district tells us that we have a fully funded pension that will be there when we retire (our district is legally required to report out our wages and when they do, they include their contributions to our pension as though that is money we have already receive as part of our paycheck). Neither of us expect to ever receive that pension or social security. My retirement plan is to literally die, preferably in the middle of a lesson to my students because my sense of humor is morbid like that. I also work part time at a job (because I’m a teacher and a teacher’s salary doesn’t stretch far enough) where a lot of my coworkers are retirees whose only retirement money is social security and my coworkers are ALWAYS bitching about regulations of working too many hours and losing their social security benefits despite the fact that they are only working because their social security benefits don’t go far enough to cover their living expenses. Additional saving and investing to supplement retirement living? Are you kidding? I’m a teacher with two undergrad degrees, a graduate degree, 16 years of teaching experience, and 18+ years since I’ve only worked one job at a time and I STILL live paycheck to paycheck. On top of all that I have been unbelievably blessed with privileges above and beyond that of most of my peers (money from my family to ensure I never had to have student loans). Who can afford to save money for retirement?
This breaks my heart. To think of this being the reality for all the teachers I've ever loved. I hope things work out for you and your wife. I hope things change sooner rather than later. You're changing the world. Thanks for all you do.😢❤
I recently turned 37 and I have never had employment that offered any sort of retirement. The knowledge that will have to be working until the day I die is soul crushing at times.
Yeah I live in Aus we pay for our retirement as we work (super annuation. It's a deduction that employers by law have to pay. It goes to your retirement which is paid out at 60± years of age or if you are unable to work.) I'm 36 and have over 200,000 already saved up in super. I thought you guys had it aswell but I guess not.
@@DomHollow there is supposed to be something like that here too with social security. The problem is that the funds there have been so depleted by the government that most people working now won't see a dime.
@@Diphenhydra yeah, I guess I've just never really had any extra money to put into one. I've been stuck in unskilled labor all my life and have been generally scraping just to get by. Now I have 2 kids and school debt.

I know a former police officer at my school bus job who retired after 30 years. Very nice guy and super sweet.. and he gets a pension. $5,000 a month, until he dies. When he dies his wife gets it until she dies I think. It’s insane. So the school bus job which is survival money for me is just “fun money” he said for him and his wife. Yeah I wish pensions came back.
Sadly won't happen because buissnesses don't want to pay people that gave them almost their entire lives and the company's line the pockets of politicians so they're not going to get involved
I put in my 25 years and moved on to another career. I had both a union backed pension and my 401k. I was forced to strip my 401k for an emergency surgery, and in April I received a letter from the pension manager informing me that the pension fund is expected to go bankrupt in 6 years- and I won't be eligible to collect my first check from the pension for another 12 years. Retirement in the United States is a luxury reserved solely for the wealthy- I will be working my side hustle at 60 hours a week until the day my job is taken over by AI, at which point... I guess I'll just starve. Land of the free ride- but only if you're part of the 1%

And, you might have noticed, we know very early in pregnancy now if a baby will be viable. The defects that cause non-viability are extremely well-studied. So, if a baby is going to die, why would put someone's health at risk, and traumatize them by having them see their child die in mere moments, for no logical reason?

My first boss told me to put even just a dollar into the 403b, now I work at a veterinary hospital that has a 401k and I tell every new early 20s employee the same thing. Just do something. I'm so grateful for my first boss. I wouldn't have nearly as much in my account if it weren't for him.
My first boss that mattered promoted me, and the day I was eligible for a 401k he made me sit at his desk and told me not to get up until I logged into my benefits and started my 401k. That decision allowed me to pay off massive medical debt when my child and I almost kicked it in childbirth and later kept us from loosing the house when my husband lost his job. I am forever thankful he kicked my behind in my 20s and convinced me to put away 4% of my pay.
The whole Dr DisRespect situation unfolded pretty much as I expected. When he started talking about getting paid out instead of focusing on proving his innocence, I got suspicious. People who are upset about midnight Society distancing themselves from him without providing evidence should also consider that Dr. DisRespect is trying to justify his innocence without offering any proof.

I am so glad you are covering 401ks in this episode. Financial illiteracy is one of the biggest hinderance allowing normal Americans to respectfully retire.
The thing that's upsetting more than finding out DrDisrespect did what he did, is his fans and supporters moving the goal post. First it started with them needing to see evidence. Then the evidence comes out with Midnight Society dropping him due to their own investigation, witnesses corroborating the allegations via the articles, and of course, the man himself admitting that he inappropriately was texting a minor. And even then, it wasn't enough. Now they moved that goal post of "Well did he know the individual was a minor". If he did, he would've mentioned in his statement that once he found out that the person was a minor, he stopped messaging them. But he didn't which is telling. Plain and simple. And regardless if he knew or not, what's done is done and he cannot come back from this now that it's out there. Even if he comes back to content creating, his reputation is forever ruined for his actions.
@AAAFilm-yt7gx Did you read the whole comment? If that were the case and he didn't know they were a minor, HE SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED THAT IN HIS STATEMENT. Since he didn't there's only one conclusion to come to. He knew and continued to message said minor. Inexcusable behavior.
It’s the “nothing illegal” happened that gets me. “I didn’t send any pictures!!! I didn’t see them!!! I just made strong suggestions, I skirted the law!!! You can’t get me!!!”
The language used makes it seem pretty clear he did bad things but a court found it wasn't as bad as our assumptions are making it out to be. Seems more like a 6month-a few years sentence kind of bad and not a 10+ year kind of evil. Not defending him. Just remembering how many other people in similar cases we've had the last few years who actually seemed to have done the really bad acts instead of just intending to do them.
Not defending him but at most he probably just sent some messages he really shouldn't have and it never escalated to the point of being an actual crime he could be convicted of. Doesn't change the fact he shouldn't have done it though and the fallout is pretty much deserved.

Im crying for the poor women in Texas. I sobbed to my mother in 2016 about womens rights and how her vote can ruin them. I wish she could understand how damning this will continue to get. And yet, we are back at it this Nov not including the Heritage Foundations plan.
On top of ALL of this you have towns that are restricting travel on their roads by pregnant women because they think they're travelling out of the state for an abortion. So I guess good luck to Texas women who will likely have to drive further than usual for prenatal exams because their OB/GYNs have likely fled the state cause of the ban and now the nearest remaining doctors are a 50min+ drive from you. Of course now its only going to get longer because you might have to go through some checkpoint and prove to a cop who doesn't like hearing the word "mucus plug" that the reason you're traveling so far away from home is to get your scheduled prenatal exam. And then the cop might ask, "Don't you have any doctors closer to you where you live?" And that's when I think these women start subtracting the total number of exams they're actually going to attend.
Old people got to retire early because they scammed younger generations. According to the OECD, the US government spends 7.5% of their GDP on public pensions, which amounts to more than 20% of total government expenditure. Social security is similar. After the Great Depression, old scammers decided to create the system to get free money, but the catch is that the very first group of recipients contributed almost no money, but got lifetime payouts. When social security collapses, young people are gonna contribute a lot to the system, but receive nothing. Even right now, we're continuing to scam the youth by adding to the government debt. Debt is now more than 120% of GDP, so at some point we're gonna be paying a huge amount of interest while not being able to borrow any money even if urgently needed. These kinds of policies should be totally unconstitutional because otherwise, there's totally an incentive to borrow an insane amount of money, create laws that say "my kids are forced to pay for my retirement and debts", which is exactly what they've done and we're continuing to do.
And the "We're coming for your kids" crowd lmfao? The ones actively singing it out at their little parades? Yeah, those ones are just innocent little jokes cause they're from YOUR side, right? Lmao Amerikkkans are ruined

I'm Kenyan🇰🇪 and a protester though in a neighboring county (Kiambu). The events yesterday were a response to 2 years of legislature and judiciary capture by the executive so bad that for the now infamous Finance Bill 2024 MPs were getting paid 2 million Ksh to pass it disregarding and in most cases outright demeaning the will of the people in favor of IMF pushed terms for loans. Kenyans are often told that we're in a debt crisis and need to live within our means to justify tax hikes but our leaders starting with the President live in opulence walking around with watches and belts worth millions (MP Sudi has an 18 million Ksh watch). The government keeps taking loans that never reach the populace but instead go into statehouse repairs and purchasing furniture worth 1billion in the last 20 months. Also the protests only got violent when peaceful protesters were abducted, hit with teargas canisters, live bullets, and others shot by snipers while unarmed. There were millions of youth around the country with 35 out 47 counties having mass protests against the Bill and corruption but my president decided to label us treasonous criminals, treason is punishable by death/life in prison. Also at night in a town in Nairobi over 100 people mostly business people on their way home were shot and killed by state officers. In the end the youth made history and fulfilled Article 1 of the Constitution which grants sovereign power to the people by Occupying Parliament 🇰🇪. Thank you for mentioning it.

As a Kenyan, I’m so over our politicians robbing the people blind with 0 desire to actually make things better. When you see them investing in over a billion shillings in their houses but only 2 million in education..you know something is wrong
The fact that you message anything inappropriate to a minor (especially in his position of influence) is a huge red flag. How many times has he done it without getting caught
Content creators should never even ENGAGE with minors. If a minor messages you and says "hey I love your videos!" you should reply "thank you very much 😀" and then NOTHING ELSE, ever. You shouldn't even entertain having a conversation with them, innocent or not. Too many things can go wrong.

Something that doesn't get mentioned about 401K and IRA is that if you don't have a high enough balance and you stop contributing, you will lose what you put in. The companies that handle them will start charging you maintenance fees, and they take it from these accounts. I got laid off from a job where I'd put money in a 401k. I got a letter saying my balance was too low and that I had to cash out or roll over to an IRA. But the IRA had a maintenance fee of $30 a month unless I contributed a minimum amount each month to reach a certain balance. Since I was unemployed and then my new job was a pay cut, I couldn't add more. So I lost 3/4 of my money and all matched contributions because I cashed out.
I'm curious who you were looking at for an IRA? I see Vanguard says they charge $25 per year but will waive that fee if you sign up for electronic delivery of all documents.
@jimrobinson9979 I want to say it was either Fidelity or Prudential, but it's been 20 years since this happened, so maybe they stopped charging monthly. Or maybe they got rid of their minimum. My current boss had the same thing happen to him, but he never said when. When it happened to me, the minimum was 5k, and I was 500 short. I was only making $9/hr, so 30 a month was more than I could put in.
@jimrobinson9979 Also, they didn't mention the fee up front. I only learned about it when they told me I had to roll it over. It was in the fine print. If I didn't roll it over within something like 90 days, they would cash it out automatically. If I rolled it over but didn't put in something like 35 a month minimum, then the fees started.
@draken1331 So the same company maintaining the 401k was the one with the high fee IRAs? Just for future reference, it's always possible to open an IRA at a low fee or zero fee brokerage and any 401k provider can be told to direct any rollover to that account. The ones that are charging high fees will usually charge a transfer fee, but at least it won't be ongoing.
A company doesn't need to share the details of its investigations. If Dr Disrespect believes he was wrongfully terminated, he's welcome to address that through legal pathways.
I've been seeing on social media that it would be cheaper for the government to just grant disability without any questions than to deny multiple times.
Did they back this with numbers? I'm just curious because I've seen a similar post where someone proved using math that it would be cheaper to give all students in their school district free lunch than to have a free/reduced meal program for students from impoverished families.
Thanks Phil, my gf works in emergency healthcare and has to watch multiple women pass from not being allowed to deal with a problematic pregnancy for the exact reasons you explained, I'm so glad someone's talking about it, if we live in this reality we have to set what we personally believe aside to figure out the middle ground and nuances to these kind of issues, neither side will give an inch and it's costing lives to not sit at a table and discuss situations like this
You should also look into grandfathered laws (laws dating back to the 1800s) that are in effect now without voters having a chance to figure what's right for our medicine and age
yeah well extensive overwhelming firearm ownership causes rampant overwhelming firearm violence, WHO woulda thought? yet no one cares a mass shusting or 150 one off violent offences happen per day leading to tens of thousands of people losing their lives every year in the USA, but no one cares. "only" 3000 people lost their lives in 9/11 and look how many people rallied together and made certain changes to different policies. Yet nothing happens when tens of thousands of people lose their lives every year for other issues. If people actually cared about these issues, things would change, but people are SO divided in the US, nothing ever gets better. I cross my fingers for a good change on many different issues in the USA.
If you're an adult just imagine to yourself inappropriately messaging a minor. Just imagining it is SO icky. Even mature conversations about adult topics with adult-but-way-younger-than-me relatives feels weird as shit lol.

So... these messages happened in 2017, the year that Doc cheated on his wife, and the 2019 Twitch bathroom incident... and then they banned him and settled in 2020. Twitch, as a company, needs to be on the chopping block here as well Dr. Disrespect.
@@IDWAUNYTyup, 2 days before banning disrespect twitch put out a statement saying they’re trying to crack down harder on inappropriate messaging starting with the most severe, watch Mogul Mail’s video about the situation to see the statement
Yup. Cheated on his wife with one of his mods if I remember correctly. A usually unpaid role that could lead to a successful career as a streamer in itself creating an unfair power dynamic. And once is sometimes, but twice is always
As a younger individual, I don't expect to have access to any kind of retirement fund, with Social Security potentially going bust and not having access to jobs that provide pensions or a 401k. I just don't imagine any of my peers will be able to retire.
Funny you are not complaining about the women who dance 1/2 naked for little boys on twitch. You only care about kids when it fits your political goals.
@@IDWAUNYT The double standard is just crazy. I just think it funny that its ok for women to destroy young men's minds for a couple dollars. But if a guy calls a 17yr old cute or looks at her bikini pic he is a pervert.
I’m one of those people that does not have a 401. I have no retirement whatsoever. I’m in my late 40s. I may have 20 year’s until I retire. But the truth is that’s not a lot of time and it goes by very quickly. Frankly, I have no clue what the hell I’m gonna do.
Please report on the IDF filming one of their police dogs attacking a defenceless 66 year old mother at night, whilst she was at home, sitting on her bed. Imagine if that was your mother or your grandmother. The footage is there for all to see. Please.
There is genuinely so much footage and posts about the IDF doing things like shooting children in the legs so they can't run away or a specific idf pedo admitting ONLINE WITH PHOTOS to smelling the socks of children he had killed that it genuinely almost feels like an intentional decision that Phil is continuing to be concerningly centrist on Gaza... like there's no way he isn't hearing all the same news we are so why isn't he talking about it, like REALLY talking about it...
As a woman who lives in Texas, I’m not shocked at all by what you say. I’m in college, and it’s a common joke now to say if someone you know is having a pregnancy scare to offer to go on a “girls trip” to a pro choice state if need be. It’s not safe- there’s been plenty of men who have acted different after the course of roe being overturned. Honestly, as someone who found out late in life that I had a disability that theoretically should’ve left me paralyzed, I’m horrified that the law is encouraging people to have babies that will die before birth- permanently altering someone’s body- because of someone’s belief on if that baby is dead or not yet
Backing up on the Social Security commentary: Can confirm, I had a 2 year battle with SS court until I got a lawyer. I have epilepsy with intractable seizures. My first application and paper work were done perfectly done to the commas and periods. The SS worker said, "don't worry, they deny about 90 percent of applications. appeal it with a lawyer." I did so but the train of thought with the Judge and other experts sitting in was "What job can he do" with this bad of epilepsy. The court case lasted 15-20 mins, and the reason: "you're not disabled BUT the court does not see you able at an occupation, while leaving said occupation 1-4 times a week because of a seizure"
@@blaireshoe8738 thank you. also, my exact feelings. that sentence blew my mind. I keep that piece of mail in case SS office decides to renege or "have a clerical error"
Anything even remotely bordering on inappropriate that concerns a minor is too much. 'No criminal chargers have ever been brought against me' isn't the moral high ground he thinks it is. How about as a grown ass man, you just don't message with minors, fullstop.
Wait, so he publicly admitted to and tried to downplay having inappropriate relations with a minor? That is LITERALLY what the new villain did in last weeks episode of The Boys… you can’t make this up 😭
Nah saying relations is wild. How is that the same? Messaging (we don't know how bad those really were because apparently logs aren't a thing) and someone actually fucking a minor?
@@pawelgaul6603I think the point is that they both thought proudly admitting to their respective incidents would go in their favour, not that what they did was directly comparable. Technically though “relations” is the correct word choice and applies to both lol
The most disturbing part of the Dr. Disrespect situation is that it was kept a secret for 4 years. I always assumed the ban was a latent reaction to him filming inside the bathroom incident. But instead he could have been preying on other minors for 4 full years without anyone knowing he was a pest. Twitch is responsible for helping him try to cover it up for him.
KARMA can not be stopped. Neither he nor Twitch could have stopped what has transpired, the moment they gave him his Toxic God status, he thought he was invincible….he f’d around and found out

Everyone trying to run defence for DOC saying “well did he know she was a minor”. Well HES NEVER DENIED KNOWING SHE WAS A MINOR. Kinda a major detail that would be included in defending the topic at hand.
Messaging a minor that you are not related to in any way is inappropriate. It’s weird. And admitting that the conversations would turn inappropriate but saying “I’m not a pedo” is CRAZY
Unfortunately nothing real will come from it.. he will just go dark for a few years then suddenly go back to streaming and a lot of his fans will come running back and while he might be be as big as he was he will make money off streaming.

The amount of people defending Doc because "She was (allegedly) 17, it's not that bad, it's not like he was inappropriate with a 12 year old!" is disgusting. He was what, 35? at the time? What are you talking to a 17 year old for!!? What a creep.

Why do people keep quiet about things that happened to them ever? Why don’t people just speak up when it happens to them regardless of whether or not they’ll be believed? No, seriously, what kind of question is this? There are many reasons people might keep stuff like that quiet.
This is the right question. Twitch and Amazon covered this up, and clearly MANY in the streamer community *knew* this information for years and .... Sat on it, did nothing. There needs to be a reckoning.
Non disclosure agreements. Basically Twitch/amazon likely had him sign something and they had to keep quiet as well. Also they generally don't have to tell the public anything.
I haven't seen any jury conviction level evidence, but as a general rule I don't trust anyone who uses "Casual" as their descriptor for talking to a minor. Any adult who strikes up a 'Casual conversation' with a kid they don't know is, at best, being weird

As an adult who was contacted by adults who acted like Guy acted to this minor, when I was between the ages of 11&16, it does fuck with your head long term. For me the text stuff, its easier to deal with than physical stuff that's happened, but it's not easy in the slightest, it's still very difficult and can be debilitating day to day. I have had panic attacks looking back and realising how close to serious danger I was, I worry about if the kids I know are going through what I did, it sucks, it really sucks. The inappropriate contact he made is harmful, even without pictures, videos, or meetups, that shit sticks with you, especially when your brain develops further from experience and brain development. Grown adults preying on children just by message is harmful to them, it still affects them, they are not virtual children, they're real people, they are affected by inappropriate treatment, even if those commuting these acts don't think it was something serious, or if it was technically legal, it is harmful as fuck to children.

My first child had Potters Syndrome and was making my wife sick. There was a chance both the mother and child would have died, if pregnancy continued in this case, and a 100% chance the child would not survive. Potters Syndrome means the child doesn't develop proper digestive organs or other organs not properly developing. In our case, our child didn’t develop a bladder and one kidney. There is no fix and no chance of transplant. The connective tissue and pathways aren't there, and there's nothing anyone can do. It was an extremely sad and difficult time in our lives. Given the extremely rare chance the child developed to full term, missing crucial organs and not killing the mother, we'd be gifted with a child in excruciating pain, crying non-stop for around 4 hours, then dying in our arms. These are the types of scenarios that terrify me. How sick does the mother have to get, with a child that won't survive 24 hours, before a doctor isnt scared to do what's right? Does the mother's heart have to stop beating? Does she have to carry the child for months in sadness, pain, and fear before a judge determines it's ok to end the suffering? What has this country come to, to get to this point. We live in a sad in between dystopia that should never have been allowed to occur. These religious right-wing nutjobs need to do the right thing and keep their fairytales, that help them sleep at night, out of our government and laws. This is 100% a back pedaling of humanity and it's truly terrifying.
They are lying when they say abortion goes against their religion. You know the punishment for inducing a miscarriage? A fine. Yes. A man hurting a pregnant woman to the point where she miscarries is a fine. Nothing else in any scripture mentions anything closer to abortion than that, otherwise, they're grasping at straws with the "all life is precious" BS
i’m so sorry you and your wife had to go through that
Reproductive autonomy & rights aside, these strict abortion laws are doing untold damage to individuals & families dealing with situations like yours.
There've been people saying this from the start - overturning Row v Wade is going to kill people. Not the clumps of cells that are potential people but real, live, breathing people who deserve better.

Kenyan here. The president is a person accused of crimes against humanity by the ICC. The prosecution dropped his charges because all the witnesses against his case were disappearing and being found dead. The current prosecutor Karim Khan was his defense lawyer back then.
He has had multiple cases of grabbing public and private land. The most egregious was when he tried to grab land meant for an elementary school. When those small kids protested, they sent the police and they tear gassed some 10 year olds. All that was when he was the vice president.
When he won the presidency, he removed subsidies and sharply increased taxes every chance he got. The reason for such tax measures is not for debt repayment as he claims(cause he has added to that by so much in 2 years). He, like all other african leaders, wanted to get his hands on foreign aid or loans so that he could enrich himself and his cronies. The problem he had was that the money from China, which came with zero strings, had dried up, and he looked to the IMF and the west. Unlike China, these western entities impose many restrictions for qualifications for such loans or grants, many to do with the removal of subsidies and raising more money to show an ability to pay back.
So that is how a war criminal is trying to saddle a whole nation with a large financial burden, all because of his greed.
I nearly forgot, the USA paid him $ 80 million to send police to Haiti, a country we have had no diplomatic ties with since both countries were formed. No one in Kenya likes him, and the protest has moved from the finance bill to demanding that he resign.
On Thursday, the young people in Kenya will be moving to occupy the state house after successfully breaching parliament today(never done in history). Wish us luck.
Good luck! God's speed!
Money from China never comes with zero strings, it's either mineral rights or something else. Something Kenya will never be able to get out of, basically parts of Kenya is now owned by china.
If everything that you're saying is true, then this guy is a worthless piece of shite who belongs in prison. Best of luck to the people of Kenya, much love from New Zealand.

Infant mortality rises after abortion ban??? Who could’ve possibly predicted this? Not everyone and their mother! Not people who acknowledged that the majority of people don’t decide to get abortions on a whim, but because they have to make a decision between two horrible options. Couldn’t be them… 🤦🏿
The crappy thing is the pro-forced birth crowd likely still sees this as a victory as they have said in the past that it is better for an infant to live in agony for the 10 days it is alive than to be aborted when severe defects are detected.
It’s really ironic that Dr. Disrespect, the guy who was so vocal defending his friend for saying a homophobic rhetoric like “leave the kids alone” was the one who couldn’t leave the kids alone.
Seems like it's always the case, the loudest one in the room to defend the kids is generally the one with something to hide.
Almost as if there is this sort of highly recognizeable mental defense mechanism that we as social animals have evolved? Like when you're highly insecure about something about your own character or you know you're doing something wrong you want to vocalize to others that you really do not associate with that thing?

Kenyan here. One of the worst governments ever only 2 years in. Beyond the tax hikes he is proposing, the actions of his government have been beyond tone-deaf.
The amount of money being allocated to different government officials for frivolous things like office and house renovations, undisclosed discretionary spending and pointless travel is being increased almost 100% in some cases from the last budget.
They have repeated the phrase "we need to tighten our belts" while literally wearing designer belts themselves and $30,000 watches. He recently took an expensive private jet to the States with a contingent of his political friends to borrow money from Biden and pal around with Steve Harvey and other celebrities.
My payslip is deducted almost in half now with more taxes on the way while the politicians enjoy luxury. Gen Z led the charge on these protests and millennials and boomers are very proud of them. We will keep pushing back, the whole country is united in this which hasn't happened since 2002.
Also, he is sending police officers to Haiti to fight gangs when he had to call in the military to contain protests from unarmed students and young professionals because the police were overwhelmed. How does that make any sense?

I have unfortunately known two women who have had babies with Trisomy 18 (Edward’s Syndrome) at the 19/20 week morphology scan. Unlike Trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome), it is almost always incompatible with life. Both women made incredibly brave and difficult choices. One decided to terminate, while their other had just started feeling her son move and chose to carry the pregnancy.
I cannot fathom how it would feel to go through what she went through without it being her choice. It was a massive emotional burden (luckily we’re in Australia, so medical debt wasn’t an issue). It meant more frequent medical appointments including genetic counseling and constant monitoring while essentially waiting for her baby to die. At the same time, she had to prepare for the incredibly rare case that he could survive the pregnancy and birth. Those babies have a short, difficult, painful life filled with feeding tubes and discomfort.
In the end, he died in utero at 30 weeks. The hospital couldn’t induce her until the Monday, so she spent the weekend with her dead boy inside her. When she was induced, as kind as the staff were in trying to keep her away from everyone, she still had to go to labour and delivery. She still had to see happy pregnant people. She still had to hear newborn cries while she was waiting to give birth to her beautiful boy. She cradled his urn while sleeping for years. He would have turned 11 in April and I know it still hurts her. Part of it is harder because of those 10 extra weeks she got to bond with him in utero.
Nobody should ever have to go through that without the knowledge that they had a say in that decision. 💔
Not all, of course but the majority of the people making these horrible decisions are men. They don't know what it's like to carry a child. They don't understand that bond that you do get when you carry a child. Considering it is known that women truly grieve if they have a miscarriage after one month or even less. And to make someone carry a child who's going to die and then make her carry it when it's dead is beyond any words I can even come up with. And then I'll bet that their system won't even pay for the therapy she needs for being forced to go through that. Please give her my love and my thoughts.
Now that Assange has been freed after years of dirty tactics to discredit him can we PLEASE free hero David Mcbride?
Who’s that?
I used to work with convicts. Try to guess how many of them thought they were the "bad guys," and how many thought that _their_ actions were completely justifiable, unlike those of the "real bad guys." With allegations like grooming, it's never black and white, but I've mysteriously never met a single man who believed he had groomed a minor. Not even the ones in jail serving time for it.
That is a fallacy though, and as you said, has absolutely no correlation or connection with the context of the Dr. Disrespect situation.
Paedos are the worst for victim blaming. Everything is someone else's fault and every minor inconvenience is persecution and a breach of their human rights. They constantly judge everyone around them then act all surprised when the other inmates are mean to them for the crimes they committed. They have zero understanding that their actions can and do have negative consequences.
I think people miss this idea so often.
Even if someone feels justified in what they did, doesn't mean they are.
This situation basically demands everyone ignoring how these kinds of interactions with minors actually affect the child long term.
plenty of folks were traumatised as kids by weird adults messaging them online.
Yeah, there are very few circumstances where you need to clarify you didn't actually break a law where you aren't in the wrong, morally.
he was sexting and he did not knew she was a minor , he knew about that postfactum that's it, but people love attacking him because he's sucsesfull guy but ignoring and defending ones that rape and kill because they are refugees , Talking about double standards.
New Zealander here, absolutely baffled that US pensions came from your employers. Does that mean you were stuck with a company/industry until you retired, unless you give it up or the company goes under and you lose it anyway? Here it's from the government, and for all their faults, it doesn't hurt my job mobility, and I'm fairly confident the state will still exist in the coming decades.
That's why we have Social Security, but it doesn't pay out very much and will probably be out of money by the time all of the boomers are gone.
What you call a government pension in NZ is what we call Social Security here in the USA, Social Security is the people's government run retirement fun. Like it is said in the video there is also pensions provided by employers and company matched 401k retirement funds. Every place I worked offered a 401k retirement plan and only 2 of them offered both a 401k and a employer backed pension. In other words it sucks hard to retire in the USA and the political parties do not see eye to eye on how to fix the problem they caused.
Eh it's really not that big of a deal here since most Americans will die of lack of healthcare long before we get to retirement age. 💀 (sarcasm btw. But not really. Send help we're dying)
There is always the chance that they will do the same thing the US government did with 401k's and use kiwisaver as an excuse to cut the pension or stop increasing it with inflation. We are not as safely far from that reality as we would hope
As someone that came to the USA from another country, I wish my country could partially use the same system. I like the Roth and 401K retirement systems because they allow me to save quite a bit of money that otherwise it would be out of my hands.
It’s absolutely disgusting to me that the Australian government can celebrate the (hopeful) release of Assange while also locking up whistle blowers. Talking out of both ends

"I didn't intend to be gross while I was being gross" is so not the defense some people seem to think it is. You can be disgusted by SA and still do SA (intentionally or not). Too many seem unclear on what is and is not appropriate and think well it wasn't fully SA so its not that bad. Anything inappropriate involving a minor... is bad.

We have degrees of bad. Even when it involves a death, we have 1st degree, 2nd dgree, manslaughter. And all of those have different sentences.
Yeah this guy is gross and bad. But not nearly as evil as we've seen from a lot of other people lately involved in similar kinds of cases. This feels more like "manslaughter" than 1st or 2nd degree.

My Grandparents had a pension and got to retire at 55 with a house paid off and never had a worry. My parents had a 401k and got to retire at 60 with an almost paid off house and take annual vacations. I have no hope of retiring because I lived through two economic collapses and saddled with crippling student debt from a broken system.
Yep, my grandparents had humble middle-class positions and retired at 65 and haven't had to work a day since, now in their '90s. Their children are in their '60s and in no shape to retire comfortably But have equity in their homes and their children's children have no hope to even own a home for The foreseeable future.
Your granpappies didn't have avocado toast ... or something bootstraps something
@@astrowuff My grandparents were working class and retired at 60. My parents were middle class and took early retirement at 60. My state and occupational pensions have been pushed back to 67 so I'm hoping I'll be able to semi retire from 60 and retire at retirement age, whatever they've put it up to by then.

I have watched a LOT of your videos with my wife, but have never commented before. Tonight you talked about something I NEED to comment on. I am 40 years old. My wife and I are both teachers in the same school district. Our district tells us that we have a fully funded pension that will be there when we retire (our district is legally required to report out our wages and when they do, they include their contributions to our pension as though that is money we have already receive as part of our paycheck). Neither of us expect to ever receive that pension or social security. My retirement plan is to literally die, preferably in the middle of a lesson to my students because my sense of humor is morbid like that. I also work part time at a job (because I’m a teacher and a teacher’s salary doesn’t stretch far enough) where a lot of my coworkers are retirees whose only retirement money is social security and my coworkers are ALWAYS bitching about regulations of working too many hours and losing their social security benefits despite the fact that they are only working because their social security benefits don’t go far enough to cover their living expenses. Additional saving and investing to supplement retirement living? Are you kidding? I’m a teacher with two undergrad degrees, a graduate degree, 16 years of teaching experience, and 18+ years since I’ve only worked one job at a time and I STILL live paycheck to paycheck. On top of all that I have been unbelievably blessed with privileges above and beyond that of most of my peers (money from my family to ensure I never had to have student loans). Who can afford to save money for retirement?
This breaks my heart. To think of this being the reality for all the teachers I've ever loved. I hope things work out for you and your wife. I hope things change sooner rather than later. You're changing the world. Thanks for all you do.😢❤
I recently turned 37 and I have never had employment that offered any sort of retirement. The knowledge that will have to be working until the day I die is soul crushing at times.
Yeah I live in Aus we pay for our retirement as we work (super annuation. It's a deduction that employers by law have to pay. It goes to your retirement which is paid out at 60± years of age or if you are unable to work.) I'm 36 and have over 200,000 already saved up in super. I thought you guys had it aswell but I guess not.
@@DomHollow there is supposed to be something like that here too with social security. The problem is that the funds there have been so depleted by the government that most people working now won't see a dime.
It's obviously a little late now, but, Roth IRAs have been around for a while and serve as an individual 401k if your company doesn't offer one.
@@Diphenhydra yeah, I guess I've just never really had any extra money to put into one. I've been stuck in unskilled labor all my life and have been generally scraping just to get by. Now I have 2 kids and school debt.
@@AdamRamseythetouchable I would think a country as big as the USA would do the same. The money is used by our government. Hence our Medicare etc. America would have so much money if Taxes and retirement were paid by employers not employees.
I know a former police officer at my school bus job who retired after 30 years. Very nice guy and super sweet.. and he gets a pension. $5,000 a month, until he dies. When he dies his wife gets it until she dies I think. It’s insane.
So the school bus job which is survival money for me is just “fun money” he said for him and his wife.
Yeah I wish pensions came back.
5K a month 😮😮😮 pensions and universal basic income are necessary

@@zwenkwiel816 It's possible some did before 401k - which was supposed to be _supplemental_ to pension, not replacing it like it has.
america doesnt have pension??? WHAT?
I put in my 25 years and moved on to another career. I had both a union backed pension and my 401k. I was forced to strip my 401k for an emergency surgery, and in April I received a letter from the pension manager informing me that the pension fund is expected to go bankrupt in 6 years- and I won't be eligible to collect my first check from the pension for another 12 years. Retirement in the United States is a luxury reserved solely for the wealthy- I will be working my side hustle at 60 hours a week until the day my job is taken over by AI, at which point... I guess I'll just starve.

So, if a baby is going to die, why would put someone's health at risk, and traumatize them by having them see their child die in mere moments, for no logical reason?
Why is it so hard for content creators to just…not do that
The fact that there are still people who are asking for further proof when Dr Disrespect literally admitted that he inappropriately messaged a minor and didn’t deny not knowing their age beforehand is absolutely ridiculous
Well yk how people are online. Especially diehard fans, it’s crazÿ.
The information is coming out so fast essentially no one has seen it all, you gotta chill tf out.
@@brookelynnwu8016 yeah, which means a logically thinking man, would not try talking with random fans. Especially someone like Disrespect who looks like character from cheap cartoon for teenagers, should know that likelihood of the fan being underage is extremely high.
Honestly nothing about what he did makes him a pedo, even if it wasn't appropriate he didn't admit to doing something with a sexual motivation.
the issue is we don't know how bad it was. If it was bad, he would be in jail. Still bad though. I don't think he's Epstein levels bad here. I just wish the text were reveal. messages can be him calling the minor pretty. I just wish we know what he said because it wasn't bad enough due to the fact the fbi isn't involved. But yet, he did talk to a minor. No way around it
My first boss told me to put even just a dollar into the 403b, now I work at a veterinary hospital that has a 401k and I tell every new early 20s employee the same thing. Just do something. I'm so grateful for my first boss. I wouldn't have nearly as much in my account if it weren't for him.
My first boss that mattered promoted me, and the day I was eligible for a 401k he made me sit at his desk and told me not to get up until I logged into my benefits and started my 401k. That decision allowed me to pay off massive medical debt when my child and I almost kicked it in childbirth and later kept us from loosing the house when my husband lost his job. I am forever thankful he kicked my behind in my 20s and convinced me to put away 4% of my pay.
The whole Dr DisRespect situation unfolded pretty much as I expected. When he started talking about getting paid out instead of focusing on proving his innocence, I got suspicious. People who are upset about midnight Society distancing themselves from him without providing evidence should also consider that Dr. DisRespect is trying to justify his innocence without offering any proof.
He is bound by whatever he agreed with twitch, if he says something the wrong way, they can get their money back from him.

I am so glad you are covering 401ks in this episode. Financial illiteracy is one of the biggest hinderance allowing normal Americans to respectfully retire.
6 weeks is insane… most OBGYNs won’t even see patients until 8 weeks!
The thing that's upsetting more than finding out DrDisrespect did what he did, is his fans and supporters moving the goal post. First it started with them needing to see evidence. Then the evidence comes out with Midnight Society dropping him due to their own investigation, witnesses corroborating the allegations via the articles, and of course, the man himself admitting that he inappropriately was texting a minor. And even then, it wasn't enough. Now they moved that goal post of "Well did he know the individual was a minor". If he did, he would've mentioned in his statement that once he found out that the person was a minor, he stopped messaging them. But he didn't which is telling. Plain and simple. And regardless if he knew or not, what's done is done and he cannot come back from this now that it's out there. Even if he comes back to content creating, his reputation is forever ruined for his actions.
Same with that pastor in Louisiana. Some parishioners blaming a 12yo for the outcome and not the adult.
So you are saying even if he did not know the person was a minor he should still be cancelled?
Fr man been watching doc for years now, it's so disappointing 😞
@AAAFilm-yt7gx Did you read the whole comment? If that were the case and he didn't know they were a minor, HE SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED THAT IN HIS STATEMENT. Since he didn't there's only one conclusion to come to. He knew and continued to message said minor. Inexcusable behavior.

Sounds like Jeffrey Marsh and his paywall talking to minors
The language used makes it seem pretty clear he did bad things but a court found it wasn't as bad as our assumptions are making it out to be. Seems more like a 6month-a few years sentence kind of bad and not a 10+ year kind of evil.
Not defending him. Just remembering how many other people in similar cases we've had the last few years who actually seemed to have done the really bad acts instead of just intending to do them.
Not defending him but at most he probably just sent some messages he really shouldn't have and it never escalated to the point of being an actual crime he could be convicted of.
Doesn't change the fact he shouldn't have done it though and the fallout is pretty much deserved.
@@kyleellis1825 That’s what I mean. He didn’t do anything “technically illegal”. But that doesn’t mean he didn’t do anything WRONG. That’s the vibe I get.

@@freshlymemed5680 That’s my point. Just because what he did “technically wasn’t illegal” doesn’t mean it wasn’t horrible. Which I get a strong vibe it was seeing as the company he *cofounded* fired him. There’s a lot of things that are “technically legal” that are really awful things to do.

Hell no I didn't! I support women's choices and they should keep their rights.
Didn't ask.
On top of ALL of this you have towns that are restricting travel on their roads by pregnant women because they think they're travelling out of the state for an abortion.
So I guess good luck to Texas women who will likely have to drive further than usual for prenatal exams because their OB/GYNs have likely fled the state cause of the ban and now the nearest remaining doctors are a 50min+ drive from you. Of course now its only going to get longer because you might have to go through some checkpoint and prove to a cop who doesn't like hearing the word "mucus plug" that the reason you're traveling so far away from home is to get your scheduled prenatal exam. And then the cop might ask, "Don't you have any doctors closer to you where you live?"
And that's when I think these women start subtracting the total number of exams they're actually going to attend.
@@leonardosantuario3346its literally youtube comments. And philip asks for comments on stories. No one asked you either yet youre still here.
The fact we're going backwards is fucking so sad.
Old people got to retire early because they scammed younger generations. According to the OECD, the US government spends 7.5% of their GDP on public pensions, which amounts to more than 20% of total government expenditure. Social security is similar. After the Great Depression, old scammers decided to create the system to get free money, but the catch is that the very first group of recipients contributed almost no money, but got lifetime payouts. When social security collapses, young people are gonna contribute a lot to the system, but receive nothing. Even right now, we're continuing to scam the youth by adding to the government debt. Debt is now more than 120% of GDP, so at some point we're gonna be paying a huge amount of interest while not being able to borrow any money even if urgently needed. These kinds of policies should be totally unconstitutional because otherwise, there's totally an incentive to borrow an insane amount of money, create laws that say "my kids are forced to pay for my retirement and debts", which is exactly what they've done and we're continuing to do.
Its always the "Save the kids" crowd needing to be kept the most away from kids.
Its shocking how common this is.
"save the kids... for myself, cause I don't like to share"
And the "We're coming for your kids" crowd lmfao? The ones actively singing it out at their little parades? Yeah, those ones are just innocent little jokes cause they're from YOUR side, right? Lmao Amerikkkans are ruined

retirement is a myth. Since I've started working retirement age as gone from 65 to 67, and they're looking at 69. Even lower income people used to be able afford to retire at 63, sometimes 62. Now, even though they are retired finally at 67, they still need a part time job to make ends meet. It's Powerball or bust for us.

I'm Kenyan🇰🇪 and a protester though in a neighboring county (Kiambu). The events yesterday were a response to 2 years of legislature and judiciary capture by the executive so bad that for the now infamous Finance Bill 2024 MPs were getting paid 2 million Ksh to pass it disregarding and in most cases outright demeaning the will of the people in favor of IMF pushed terms for loans.
Kenyans are often told that we're in a debt crisis and need to live within our means to justify tax hikes but our leaders starting with the President live in opulence walking around with watches and belts worth millions (MP Sudi has an 18 million Ksh watch). The government keeps taking loans that never reach the populace but instead go into statehouse repairs and purchasing furniture worth 1billion in the last 20 months.
Also the protests only got violent when peaceful protesters were abducted, hit with teargas canisters, live bullets, and others shot by snipers while unarmed.
There were millions of youth around the country with 35 out 47 counties having mass protests against the Bill and corruption but my president decided to label us treasonous criminals, treason is punishable by death/life in prison.
Also at night in a town in Nairobi over 100 people mostly business people on their way home were shot and killed by state officers.
In the end the youth made history and fulfilled Article 1 of the Constitution which grants sovereign power to the people by Occupying Parliament 🇰🇪.

Also, before I spend even another second engaging with a Disrespect apologist/defender, I see how many comments you've left on other threads about it suggesting there's "nuance" to what he himself said in the tweet about being "inappropriate with a minor" so I'm just gonna cash out with this: If you sincerely think even for a second that it's "cancel culture" coming for a dude who outed himself as opposed to the repercussions of his own actions, I pity you and the absolutely braindead takes your friends have to put up with on other subjects.

So pensions are gone, and social-security will likely go effectively belly-up meaning there aren't 'legs' for retirement. At best, there's a non-functional kick-stand.

The fact that you message anything inappropriate to a minor (especially in his position of influence) is a huge red flag. How many times has he done it without getting caught
Content creators should never even ENGAGE with minors. If a minor messages you and says "hey I love your videos!" you should reply "thank you very much 😀" and then NOTHING ELSE, ever. You shouldn't even entertain having a conversation with them, innocent or not. Too many things can go wrong.

Something that doesn't get mentioned about 401K and IRA is that if you don't have a high enough balance and you stop contributing, you will lose what you put in. The companies that handle them will start charging you maintenance fees, and they take it from these accounts. I got laid off from a job where I'd put money in a 401k. I got a letter saying my balance was too low and that I had to cash out or roll over to an IRA. But the IRA had a maintenance fee of $30 a month unless I contributed a minimum amount each month to reach a certain balance. Since I was unemployed and then my new job was a pay cut, I couldn't add more. So I lost 3/4 of my money and all matched contributions because I cashed out.
Your comment made me want to check on my 401(k). Been unemployed for awhile.
I'm curious who you were looking at for an IRA? I see Vanguard says they charge $25 per year but will waive that fee if you sign up for electronic delivery of all documents.
@jimrobinson9979 I want to say it was either Fidelity or Prudential, but it's been 20 years since this happened, so maybe they stopped charging monthly. Or maybe they got rid of their minimum. My current boss had the same thing happen to him, but he never said when. When it happened to me, the minimum was 5k, and I was 500 short. I was only making $9/hr, so 30 a month was more than I could put in.
@jimrobinson9979 Also, they didn't mention the fee up front. I only learned about it when they told me I had to roll it over. It was in the fine print. If I didn't roll it over within something like 90 days, they would cash it out automatically. If I rolled it over but didn't put in something like 35 a month minimum, then the fees started.
@draken1331 So the same company maintaining the 401k was the one with the high fee IRAs? Just for future reference, it's always possible to open an IRA at a low fee or zero fee brokerage and any 401k provider can be told to direct any rollover to that account. The ones that are charging high fees will usually charge a transfer fee, but at least it won't be ongoing.
A company doesn't need to share the details of its investigations. If Dr Disrespect believes he was wrongfully terminated, he's welcome to address that through legal pathways.
I've been seeing on social media that it would be cheaper for the government to just grant disability without any questions than to deny multiple times.
Did they back this with numbers? I'm just curious because I've seen a similar post where someone proved using math that it would be cheaper to give all students in their school district free lunch than to have a free/reduced meal program for students from impoverished families.

"only" 3000 people lost their lives in 9/11 and look how many people rallied together and made certain changes to different policies. Yet nothing happens when tens of thousands of people lose their lives every year for other issues.
If people actually cared about these issues, things would change, but people are SO divided in the US, nothing ever gets better. I cross my fingers for a good change on many different issues in the USA.
If you're an adult just imagine to yourself inappropriately messaging a minor. Just imagining it is SO icky. Even mature conversations about adult topics with adult-but-way-younger-than-me relatives feels weird as shit lol. I hate these people that try and paint their brain rot and gross intentions as not so bad.
Yep
Tbh after this new information i have to ask: why did we give the guy who thought it is okay to FILM STRANGERS IN A BATHROOM so much moral credit? 😂
And he sold NFTs! Can't forget those
Some of it might be cultural war stuff due to the Nickmercs stuff or not liking the people who dislike Dr. Disrespect
Ya the whole situation is extremely uncomfortable
@@HearMeLearnlegality is not morality, if you’re admitting to an inappropriate conversation with a minor, that’s enough.
It’s because he had become their Toxic God and through him they could validate their toxicity
I am A 32-year-old man starting a conversation with someone that's under the age is f****** weird Why would you want to be friends with someone that young
he obviously didnt start the messages 😂😂😂
So... these messages happened in 2017, the year that Doc cheated on his wife, and the 2019 Twitch bathroom incident... and then they banned him and settled in 2020.
Twitch, as a company, needs to be on the chopping block here as well Dr. Disrespect.
I agree
From what I understand they were only made aware of it in 2020, when the messages were reported to them
@@IDWAUNYTyup, 2 days before banning disrespect twitch put out a statement saying they’re trying to crack down harder on inappropriate messaging starting with the most severe, watch Mogul Mail’s video about the situation to see the statement
Yup. Cheated on his wife with one of his mods if I remember correctly. A usually unpaid role that could lead to a successful career as a streamer in itself creating an unfair power dynamic.
And once is sometimes, but twice is always
As a younger individual, I don't expect to have access to any kind of retirement fund, with Social Security potentially going bust and not having access to jobs that provide pensions or a 401k. I just don't imagine any of my peers will be able to retire.

Funny you are not complaining about the women who dance 1/2 naked for little boys on twitch. You only care about kids when it fits your political goals.
@@DavidGifford-lb8zkbecause you’re making up a situation in response to dr disrespect actually sexting a minor
@@IDWAUNYT The double standard is just crazy. I just think it funny that its ok for women to destroy young men's minds for a couple dollars. But if a guy calls a 17yr old cute or looks at her bikini pic he is a pervert.
@rickmel09
They won't admit that they don't care about kids and dislike trans people because they're don't have the balls to do so.
No pun intended.
I’m one of those people that does not have a 401. I have no retirement whatsoever. I’m in my late 40s. I may have 20 year’s until I retire. But the truth is that’s not a lot of time and it goes by very quickly. Frankly, I have no clue what the hell I’m gonna do.
Same.. I can't even afford to set aside money... nor can I work normal jobs for being disabled, but can't even afford disability either :')

Please report on the IDF filming one of their police dogs attacking a defenceless 66 year old mother at night, whilst she was at home, sitting on her bed. Imagine if that was your mother or your grandmother. The footage is there for all to see. Please.
This, please.
Follow Wizard Bisan for the footage - she's a journalist who's reporting from inside Gaza.
A above.
There is genuinely so much footage and posts about the IDF doing things like shooting children in the legs so they can't run away or a specific idf pedo admitting ONLINE WITH PHOTOS to smelling the socks of children he had killed that it genuinely almost feels like an intentional decision that Phil is continuing to be concerningly centrist on Gaza... like there's no way he isn't hearing all the same news we are so why isn't he talking about it, like REALLY talking about it...
As a woman who lives in Texas, I’m not shocked at all by what you say. I’m in college, and it’s a common joke now to say if someone you know is having a pregnancy scare to offer to go on a “girls trip” to a pro choice state if need be.
It’s not safe- there’s been plenty of men who have acted different after the course of roe being overturned. Honestly, as someone who found out late in life that I had a disability that theoretically should’ve left me paralyzed, I’m horrified that the law is encouraging people to have babies that will die before birth- permanently altering someone’s body- because of someone’s belief on if that baby is dead or not yet
Backing up on the Social Security commentary: Can confirm, I had a 2 year battle with SS court until I got a lawyer. I have epilepsy with intractable seizures. My first application and paper work were done perfectly done to the commas and periods. The SS worker said, "don't worry, they deny about 90 percent of applications. appeal it with a lawyer." I did so but the train of thought with the Judge and other experts sitting in was "What job can he do" with this bad of epilepsy. The court case lasted 15-20 mins, and the reason: "you're not disabled BUT the court does not see you able at an occupation, while leaving said occupation 1-4 times a week because of a seizure"
My brain is short-circuiting. "Not disabled, just not able." BRUH. So sorry you had to go through such absolute bull.
@@blaireshoe8738 thank you. also, my exact feelings. that sentence blew my mind. I keep that piece of mail in case SS office decides to renege or "have a clerical error"
We all knew what was coming after "no wrongdoing was acknowledged."
Just diving into this, and….him just coming out and saying ‘Yes I did it BUT..’ is such a wild update to the Dr Disrespect story
Anything even remotely bordering on inappropriate that concerns a minor is too much. 'No criminal chargers have ever been brought against me' isn't the moral high ground he thinks it is. How about as a grown ass man, you just don't message with minors, fullstop.
"What did he know and when did he know it?" I would think Dr.D would want to include the whole 'I cut it off when I found out' thing.
Your last segment on pensions and 401ks was spot on. That's great reporting. 👏
Wait, so he publicly admitted to and tried to downplay having inappropriate relations with a minor? That is LITERALLY what the new villain did in last weeks episode of The Boys… you can’t make this up 😭
Firecracker moment.
The Boys' satire is simultaneously very on the nose and completely accurate and relevant.
Drake 2.0
Nah saying relations is wild. How is that the same? Messaging (we don't know how bad those really were because apparently logs aren't a thing) and someone actually fucking a minor?
@@pawelgaul6603I think the point is that they both thought proudly admitting to their respective incidents would go in their favour, not that what they did was directly comparable. Technically though “relations” is the correct word choice and applies to both lol
The most disturbing part of the Dr. Disrespect situation is that it was kept a secret for 4 years. I always assumed the ban was a latent reaction to him filming inside the bathroom incident. But instead he could have been preying on other minors for 4 full years without anyone knowing he was a pest. Twitch is responsible for helping him try to cover it up for him.
KARMA can not be stopped. Neither he nor Twitch could have stopped what has transpired, the moment they gave him his Toxic God status, he thought he was invincible….he f’d around and found out
NDA's typically expire after 4 years.
Re: ...honestly many of these stories, but especially the TX infant mortality rate...
I believe Philip J. Fry put it best when he said, "I'm shocked. Shocked! ...Well, not that shocked."
Hey there, I work for the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC), a small government agency that works to protect American pension recipients when a private company is no longer able to fund their defined benefit pension contributions. Glad to hear that the ERISA act was mentioned.
Imagine if Israel stopped being at war. Then everyone can be equal in not having to be drafted
I know that this episode is absolutely full of stories, but next one can you please address the flooding in Minnesota, South Dakota, & Iowa. Especially the partial failure of the Rapidan Dam?
South Dakota and Minnesota got record level rain and now it's flowing downstream and it's ruining homes, crops, and lives with 2 people who have already passed away.
(Sorry I don't know where 'requested stories' go)
You can also text them back on their text line. I don't know if they'll see it, but it's an option.
At some point these extra large shows are just becoming the shows Phil lol you’re building a new norm and I am LOVING it
Everyone trying to run defence for DOC saying “well did he know she was a minor”. Well HES NEVER DENIED KNOWING SHE WAS A MINOR. Kinda a major detail that would be included in defending the topic at hand.
Messaging a minor that you are not related to in any way is inappropriate. It’s weird. And admitting that the conversations would turn inappropriate but saying “I’m not a pedo” is CRAZY
Throwing away an entire career, and for what? It’s just sad, man.
Unfortunately nothing real will come from it.. he will just go dark for a few years then suddenly go back to streaming and a lot of his fans will come running back and while he might be be as big as he was he will make money off streaming. It keeps happening to all these big streamers that do something stupid and immoral.
Meanwhile an actual predator James Charles who actually has sexually messaged multiple minors, getting caught multiple times and admitted on a podcast he seeks out younger looking boys. Is still creating content and featured
So if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck but you catch it before it grows feathers... it's still a f**king duck.
Absolute gold
Wabbit season……
Careful, Doc might fuck a duck next

I guess it's going to take women dying due to not being able to have an abortion, or women refusing to have kids for them to 'truly care' whatever that will mean.
Even then, they don't and didn't care. Everyone told them exactly what would happen and they did it, anyway.
They won't care if more of us die.
Israel: This is what happens when you tie a religion to an ethnicity and further to a state. The three serve different ends, and it's only cohesive until the expectations of one run up against the expectations of another.
Re: Dr. DR, if only cops investigated sexual assault with the same diligence as Doc's company did with his inappropriate interactions with a minor. Imagine how many SAs would be solved.....
The amount of people defending Doc because "She was (allegedly) 17, it's not that bad, it's not like he was inappropriate with a 12 year old!" is disgusting. He was what, 35? at the time? What are you talking to a 17 year old for!!? What a creep.
That's just kind of dumb though. You can say both are bad yet still have a scale of one being worse than the other.
Like wtf bro?!
I appreciate you covering the protest in Kenya!!
Thank you Philip for talking about kenya
I can’t believe we’re witnessing Netanyahu’s downfall in real time like this. In trying to please everyone, you’re going to make enemies. His potential enemies being the very people he’s been catering to is just (chef’s kiss). Pass the popcorn, because this is going to be delicious.
My question with Dr. Disrespect is why is this just now a thing? He got banned 4 years ago, so why didn’t we know about this then?
Called a contract and privacy of the parties involved..gag order
Why do people keep quiet about things that happened to them ever? Why don’t people just speak up when it happens to them regardless of whether or not they’ll be believed?
No, seriously, what kind of question is this? There are many reasons people might keep stuff like that quiet.
This is the right question.
Twitch and Amazon covered this up, and clearly MANY in the streamer community *knew* this information for years and .... Sat on it, did nothing.
There needs to be a reckoning.
Cover up to protect financial flow to both parties.
Non disclosure agreements. Basically Twitch/amazon likely had him sign something and they had to keep quiet as well. Also they generally don't have to tell the public anything.
I haven't seen any jury conviction level evidence, but as a general rule I don't trust anyone who uses "Casual" as their descriptor for talking to a minor. Any adult who strikes up a 'Casual conversation' with a kid they don't know is, at best, being weird
Must be one of his subs
25:00 Defending a friend that is promoting a highly destructive ideology to children telling them they can do chemical castration to feel better when they are in a highly confusing age is evil af.
He allegedly asked for pictures of Mikayla when she was 17 and she allegedly sent him a bikini photo. Mikayla aka Tyler1s GF now, but at the the time she was talking to a streamer named THUMP who leaked the information that the doc asked for Mikayla’s photo allegedly.
Noooo waaayyy... T1s GIRL?! Bro, we need an entire netflix series on this
Sounds like this isn't even new for him.
@@DefeatLust With all due respect, something like that is the last thing we need. I can only see it making Mikayla's life incredibly worse.
@@feliciaroseantonia Hmmmmm, fair fair
@@DefeatLust yeah that's a huge no thanks lol
I cant genuinely say im shocked by doc being banned for talking to minors. Dude filmed in a bathroom at a convention filled with kids. He deserves the 'disrespect'.
As an adult who was contacted by adults who acted like Guy acted to this minor, when I was between the ages of 11&16, it does fuck with your head long term.
For me the text stuff, its easier to deal with than physical stuff that's happened, but it's not easy in the slightest, it's still very difficult and can be debilitating day to day.
I have had panic attacks looking back and realising how close to serious danger I was, I worry about if the kids I know are going through what I did, it sucks, it really sucks.
The inappropriate contact he made is harmful, even without pictures, videos, or meetups, that shit sticks with you, especially when your brain develops further from experience and brain development.
Grown adults preying on children just by message is harmful to them, it still affects them, they are not virtual children, they're real people, they are affected by inappropriate treatment, even if those commuting these acts don't think it was something serious, or if it was technically legal, it is harmful as fuck to children.
