Happy Tuesday, you Beautiful Bastards! :) I know there are LOTS of thoughts on today's stories so lets hear them!
Philip DeFranco Love you Phil!!!
Philip DeFranco
It's Cosby 2.0
Phil if u read this, I know u will, respond saying nothing but 'tomato killer', or else doom will carry upon you.
I'm not a big celeb follower, but there is no excuse to do this to any human being. How is he not in jail? Ohh yea; he owns too many politicians.
Remember how Hillary and her supporters (mostly her supporters) called Bernie and his supporters sexists and sexual harassers? I sure as shit remember... funny how the biggest supporters of her are the real sexual harassers/sexists and they used it as a crutch to try and deflect from REAL criticism about Hillary....
Hate to keep bringing up 2016 election, but god damn I think these people need to be shamed/educated -_-
Yea my dad came up in the sixties and seventies. He doesn't rape people.
That you know of...
Stephen Mason No, one of the women said he preformed unwanted oral sex on her. That could have been rape..it might not have been, that statement is a bit vague. Another said he forced her hand on his dick, so sexual assault, if she's telling the truth.
Markelle Fleming but I doubt your dad is wildly successful in Hollywood. That's what he was saying he came up in, not the time itself.
Markelle Fleming
Hey same! What a surprise
you lucky dog! my dad has to rape at least 3-4 times a week just to feel like a kid again
Weinstein should really consider investing in a massage chair.
Kekistani Blocke He probably has one, but likes to have unsuspecting women to do it... with a pinch of assault and a wire.
Your a genius!
Kekistani Blocke or have a masuse
Kekistani Blocke lmfaoooo
I'm getting tired and desensitized by these "sincere apologies"....
Not sure how to feel about that
Redchocobo It's really hard to accept these apologies when you know nothing will change.
I've been tired of it since the BP oil spill, lmao.
The apologies are never by the actual person, they are written by a PR team who makes A LOT of money. You are getting tired of them, because they are all basically the exact same thing.
Apologize for what you did outright.
Acknowledge that you know it was wrong.
Tell people how good a person you really are.
???
Totally off the hook for your 'sincere apology'
Nobody is ever really sorry about what they did. They're sorry they got caught. They come out with their worst "I care a lot" face and spit a lot of bullshit. Honestly, I'd respect it more if one of these dudes would just say "idgaf."
cuz its all bullshit ppl get mad n expect an apology if they want to continue to have any kind of career again (note im not talking about this situation specifically just in general)
"I grew up in the 60's and 70's" 🤣🤣🤣 but you've had your eyes completely closed since then? Not to mention conscience? This man is unbelievable.
You know something is really wrong when Mr. Weinstein is fired from the Weinstein company.
You know his brother is the co-founder, right?
HitchensImmortal you know it’s a joke, right?
*You know Weinstein is really wrong when Weinstein is fired from the Weinstein company.
Just like Ronald McDonald after he killed those kids
I'd really like to meet someone who truly believes that coming up in the 60s and 70s is an explanation for not knowing rape is bad.
Arun Mangrulkar or the excuse "they didn't say no or object". The question shouldn't be that but did they agree to it and whether he used his power to influence that decision.
I think people knew back then that rape was bad, but what defined rape back then is different. So, being raised up on the idea that just coercing women into sexual or intimate situations isn't the same as tackling her and forcefully having sex would lead to the mindset that Weinstein has. Not saying his actions aren't wrong. They are, but I wanted to at least give a tiny bit of insight to how people could think that way.
Arun Mangrulkar it wasn't like he has been cryogenicly frozen for years and just woke up
In fact since when was rape ever an O.K. thing to do. You have to be a real sicko to think otherwise.
My dad was raised in the early 70's and he would agree that this behavior is unacceptable and immoral.
His excuse has no value. I know plenty of men who came up in the 60s-70s and arnt rapey
Will Carmack but Crosby
Will Carmack as a 17 year old boy I must disagree
Exactly my thought. I feel like "sexually violating another human being" goes past learned behavior and goes into basic common sense...
I don't think Harvey meant any person. It was a lot more prominent of an issue in the 60's and 70's to see young actresses having sexual relations with producers or directors to get ahead. In saying that I don't believe it to be a viable excuse to sexually harass a woman or anyone for that matter
Unless there's something I missed in history class
To me, the Harvey Weinstein situation is just another example of an individual letting their influence and power get to their head and make them believe that they can do as they wish without repercussions. The excuse of him being from 60-70s generation is complete crap, it all comes down to how having power and influence warps an individual's morale compass or not, in his case it did.
I've always believed there are 2 kinds of "sorry:" There's the "I'm sorry I did this," and the "I'm sorry I got caught." Unfortunately nowadays, it seems like most people are the second kind.
kschaum1218 sorry you feel that way. .......
The tends to happen when someone is forced to apologize or they lose their livelihood. Its like a confession under torture, it's never genuine.
This is so true!
Why are they calling it "non-consensual sex"? Why can't they just say rape?
Because he’s in the liberal gang, that’s why.
I'm thinking there was no penetration, but you know, oral.
Forced oral.
Still sounds like rape.
They mean the same thing, I'm sure he didn't mean anything by it
Smith How does this make any sense whatsoever?
Because the word "rape" can trigger PTSD in victims?
Man, it's almost like my dad grew up in the 60s and 70s too, and he doesn't take advantage of women who work under him. Crazy stuff.
AMEN Philly! Thank you for highlighting this! Bless.
the 60s/70s were ca 50 years ago and he realises only NOW that his behavior is inappropriate? what the actual fuck. he isnt sorry that he did this to all those women, hes only sorry that he got caught doing so. i hope he rots in jail.
This is not a gender exclusive issue, and not Isolated to a single horrible person. It's both males and females who are being abused by a lot of powerful people in Hollywood. Corey Feldman wrote a very eye opening book a few years ago about the abuse that he, and other young actors were confronted with, as young and vulnerable entertainers.
Jesse Greathouse good point!
I've heard male models often get forced into similar sexual encounters from the female dominant fashion industry.
Anonymous Dweeb people have deduced that Charlie Sheen raped Corey Haim during the filming of Lucas because of things Corey Feldman has said in his book and interviews.
Agreed. Everyone always seems to forget that sexual assault and rape CAN and DOES happen to males all the time. And that is in general, not just in Hollywood. Hollywood just magnifies the spotlight for this sort of thing.
Another story involves the Jeeper Creeper director who molested a young actor that was in his movie. After being charged, he was still allowed to work on children and pre teen shows.
Yes let's build a 400 million dollar stadium (for free), then charge everyone who wants to view the games $10-$2000, charge $10 for parking, and sell overly priced food and merchandise.... Just to save the owner money? Who benefits from this... The owner, owners family, and the NFL copyright
100% agree that this isn't where public money should go, but it isn't free. The stadium owners still have to pay back the debt and interest to whoever buys the bonds, but some or all of the profit made by the private investors is made tax exempt, subsidising higher taxed incomes who buy the stadium's debt.
"If it wasn't for that DeFranco guy"
I would've gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for those meddling kids and that Defranco guy.
DiFranco*
Bobbicorn DeFranco*
"I would have got away with it too, if I hadn't filmed all the crimes and placed them on the internet."
" I so respect all women.."
"Now be so kind as to watch me shower. You can have some water if you like."
Respecc wahmen
HappiestSadGuy DRINK YOUR RESPECT WAMEN JUICE
Is the new "I'm not racist, but"?
According to the latest Hillary Clinton is now distancing herself from him. This man may have had his fingers in just about everyone's pie....
I know ppl who were literally warned to NEVER be in a room alone with Harvey by multiple sources. This was over a decade ago. It's loooong been well established industry knowledge.
Diane Jennings who tf are you? 😂🤔
yea because everyone just automatically knows that shit
just because its common knowledge doesnt mean everyone had the privelege of knowing it
Are you a feminist?
kelly morgan Yea Meryl definitely knew. The industry has protected him because they share the same politics.
Same with Woody Allen and Roman Polansky.
Could this be what Cory Feldman always talked about?
he talked about pedophilia but this weinstein thing seems just like a tip of the iceberg.
The rabbit hole goes way further then this or Feldman....these people are pretty sick...hoping for all of them to be exposed.
I believe it's part of it. No doubt a lot more of it goes on than just where Weinstein is involved. Let's hope that this incident exposes more of the bastards.
Eyes Wide Shut was actually a documentary.
I think he was talking about Charlie Sheen actually
As someone who works in the entertainment industry I can tell you that what Harvey Weinstein did is not un-common. I have a feeling that now that someone as large as him has been taken down; we're going to start seeing a lot more people coming forward with their experiences with other people taking advantage of them.
Something that's interesting about the "apologies" is that it only takes until basically the whole world realizes what they've done. I feel like they're sorry about the fact that people actually know what they did, not that they did it. Really makes me upset.
Very well said. This is exactly what it is.
Bro everyone
EVERYONE IN HOLLYWOOD DOES THIS!!!!
Thats why they're sorry they got caught .
Alex Elizabeth It's the equivalent of 'I'm sorry you feel that way'.
That’s the sad part, I agree. They aren’t really sorry, they are just upset that they were exposed.
Its not just Hollywood that does this. Anyone, everywhere who gets caught doing something bad does this. The only difference is people in Hollywood have to do it in public.
My dad grew up in the 60s and 70s, but he treats women respectfully. Is something wrong with my dad?
My dad did too and this man disgusts him.
Fauzan Hendrawan no human are perfect and every human have different stories in their life. So, maybe your dad grew up in the 60’s and 70’s he might not have same experience as him. Don’t get me wrong I am not defending him but you gotta think about these kind of things before you judge someone.
Koy it doesnt matter what age you grow up in. There are always people that do things to people that dont want those things done to them, and they (imo) are the worst people.
Yes there is, he's not your real dad
I always hate how nfl teams blackmail cities to pay for their stadiums by threatening to leave to another state, then the fans go crazy and force the city to pay for the new stadium and maintenance. With no profit for the city from anything.
"I so respect all women and regret that this happened."
If he truly respected women, why did he abuse women for 15+ years? And if he truly respected women, why did he only start to make things right after he was caught?
Maybe he didn't think it would upset them because if the situation was reversed he would welcome it?
TiagoTiago it's funny how men do not get it that a woman is upset even thought she shouts "I'm upset!" right into their face.
cheekie payton not defending him, but how do you know he started after the allegations? he could’ve started long before this happened.
Not even after he was caught but after people turned on him he had multiple time and ways to hush things up and realize this is a no go when he has to pay people off
Because he got caught just like that cop that raped them girls...he cried in court because he got caught not the damage he did to the girls
Hopefully the pedos are exposed next
Alexander Wayne that’s like half of Hollywood
That's like 80% of Washington too.
Look into the Dutroux Affair. The police are in on it, Hollywood is in on it, the government is in on it.
Alexander Wayne that is basically all of Hollywood. fucked up so many child stars
Many have been, Hollywood just doesn't care. Woody Allen was convicted and still has employment. Same with many others.
I'm sure that will happen soon.
Honestly, I was most sickened by the fact that the Times didn't run that report. If they can't go after Weinstein, then who else do they cover up for?
+
You know, I honestly came just to make sure there was an ad and watch it. I'm glad there was. I'm gonna go make sure I play all my fav YTers vids on a loop so they can get that revenue.
What's truly awful about the weinstein story is that the company itself only acted after the general public found out about it even though they must have known about the situation before because it was their company's legal department settling with his assistants 8 times.
As someone who lives outside of USA, it really blows my mind how important and powerful a sports franchise is when it comes to the culture.
Only to some people.
As someone who lives in the US, I cannot fathom it either.
El Salvador and Hondorous went to war in 1969 over the results of a football (Soccer) match, there seem to be constant fights and tensions between fans of European football. Sure the US loves Football to much but for many countries sports are an important part of the culture.
They don't have decent educational systems...what did you expect? They barely understand their own sports.
Steven M. No it doesn't, in my European country nobody's interested in what's happening on football fields, especially that match attendees are mostly neo-nazis
It just bothers me to also think of how many other women felt so intimidated by Weinstein that they went along with it, and have never come forward or pressed charges. His company has made a hell of a lot of films.
Nicky Morris they can't bring charges since he didn't rape them. Consent is consent
jalonjt what consent. If I don't want you to touch me and I don't want to touch you there's no consent involved in that equation. And what's scary with guys like this is the fact they get away with it and they terrify their victims.
K Garcia You have to blame those who had committed false rape/sexual assault allegations.
Nicky Morris Harvey Weinstein said in his statement that he "came of age in the 60's and 70's, when ALL the RULES about BEHAVIOUR and workplaces were different. That was the CULTURE then." What??? That's probably one of the lamest alibi and excuse that I've ever heard. The difference between the 60's-70's era and 2100's is that the people today are now more courageous to expose immorality from powerful men like you Mr. Weinstein, and the power of social media serves as the backbone for exposé.
jalonjt That's not consent, that's coercion and abuse of power. This is a man who with one word can ruin their entire lives and end careers. Remember the two cops who raped that teenager? It's the same kind of thing.
In this age where people are so quick to anger and call for the heads of whomever it is that has offended them. It's shocking to see a company actually handle it properly. They made a response that her view does not reflect those of the company that they have warned from further using her social media where it can be misinterpreted as ESPN's view on controversial topics. She then proceeded to do it again and told people to boycott advertisers who without a doubt advertise on ESPN or might. She was then suspended as per the warning they gave her. Will she get fired after the suspension? Maybe but it is great to see a company actually handle itself like a company should and not break under the weight of public outrage. I can't believe I am talking about ESPN.
Garfunkas Actually, she directly stated that she Was Not calling for a boycott. Also, she is on her own personal social media platform. Unless she's under a contract with ESPN, she can say what she feels. Unfortunately, that comes with consequences because you never wanna piss off the advertisers who write the biggest checks.
Yes, she was using her own social media. Like I said she was asked to stop stating things that can be negatively reflected back on ESPN things that did not fall in line with their views or were too controversial while she was listed as an employee. She was warned not fired immediately. She then went right back at it after advertisers. Advertisers who without a doubt gave ESPN a call, where they decided it was best to remove her and maybe shock her into realizing they aren't kidding about the warning.
So that guy has a fetish for women looking at him while he's taking a shower?
Tetra Sky And massages.
Tetra Sky what's getting you so confused?
Yes, Ice-T.
Well after all he was just taking a shower.
If he said: "honey stay here and watch my sexy ass take a dump" yea that would have been weird.
A fetish is a fetish.
Welcome to Earth
There is no excuse for the abuse of men, women or children, and the abuse of power to further the abuse of people is even worse. Then to offer this idiotic sincere apology admitting that you did indeed do these horrible things to all these women, and turn around not to long after this apology and try to sue a newspaper cause its defaming you and slandering you when its running a story about the EXACT DAMN THING you just admitted to means that his apology was nothing more than trying to soften the situation. The mans a monster in his own right.
Valancian Gaming I don't feel bad in the slightest that his own brother decided to fire him. He lost his job and his family and I don't even care.
+Valancian Gaming
*"There is no excuse for the abuse of men, women or children, and the abuse of power to further the abuse of people is even worse."*
Ah, finally someone who isn't a sexist pig. It's rare to see people like you.
If you think he lost his family, then you are foolish. He is still rich, its been a known secret, so his family protected him. You think payouts and attorney's fees went under the radar? With how prevalent that behavior is, I wouldn't be surprised if his brother and/or board members are doing the same.
I might be wrong, but I don't think he admitted to NON-CONSENSUAL acts, and is suing the newspaper for accusations thereof.
Oh my God. This is terrfying. Imagining a young person who can not say anything against a person who hurt him or her only because that person is lower in the food chain. I know this happens. Happens to everyone in most businesses. But this is a whole new level. I am worried for my baby brother and sister, and for my nieces and nephews when they grow up. I'm afraid for the safety of everyone's children. I really hope this stops of not for the women and men who have been damaged this time, but for our children. I normally don't pray, but I hope that this never happens to anyone in any business in any position.
Rick Harris I wish man. People need help. But there's a problem with that too. I have seen cases where victims would speak up, but then they were shunned. Most of them either lost their jobs, their families and friends. That's what happens when you are in a lower position. There's not much you can do because if you move, someone greater will smash you. No wonder why some people wait until they establish credibility before saying such things against their attackers. The only problem with that is people will start to wonder why the victims didn't say anything before hand. It's....horrible. All of this.
Davel Dasilva I cannot speak for these people, but I know some people who could not say anything or do anything in fear of ridicule, discrimination, and pure hostility. A close friend of mine was beaten by the spouse since the start of their marriage. Said friend could not leave because the sposes family threatened my friend. Now after raising four children and getting all of them through college and by having many many maaaanny jobs, my friend left the abusive spouse. It's just....when a person is weak, and he or she is violated by someone of high power, often raising a voice against is a sure way to not only lose a job or a family but ensures in losing everything else that one might hold dear.
At this point. I am not sure what to do. How to we stop problems like this? What do we do? Limit women from venturing outside? Stop kids from going to school? I don't know anymore.
Davel Dasilva You know what. You are correct about not everyone being weak. I apologize to say that everyone who gets screwed over are weak. I am sorry to call the victims weak. You are also right about the revenge part. I really can't say why some of victims didn't say anything, but I cannot speak for them. All I can say is that whoever is wronged will be righted. Whether by the Justice System, one's own willpower, or God. I hope and pray that things will be better for everyone.
Davel Dasilva Jump the Gun? What do you mean? Am I not allowed to feel sympathy for my fellow humans? Or maybe you meant the calling the victims weak part. In which case, yes. You are right. I disrespected them and next time I should not have "jumped the Gun".
Davel Dasilva I'll be honest. I don't quite grasp what you are saying. But I'll make an attempt on not "jumping on guns" in the near future.
Phil, yet again I find myself wanting a thorough news story with ALL of the facts in one story, and not just the latest updates, and once again, I found everything I needed to know in one story on The Philip DeFranco Show. You never disappoint! Thank you for the time and attention you give to all of your news - your fans are incredibly grateful, as well as "Phil-ed in!"
I wonder if Phil has any social media rules/guidlines for his employees.
V1DE0 doubt it, but I hope this gets top comment and he addresses it in the next vid.
I would imagine yes but only in cases where people go to extreme, I would imagine he would be fine if any employee says they hate Trump but would get involved if they said "Trump is a white supremecist that eats black babies and should be killed with a tire iron."
I want to know
TheRedKnight love Trump, but that’s the best comment I’ve seen today.
He did mention this at some point. From what I remember, he has no rules, but he said if his employee said something that's makes it hard for him to continue working next to them, it probably won't work out. So basically "I voted Trump" would be fine, "I think (add whatever race here) are bad people" probably wouldn't fly.
Growing up in an earlier time doesn't excuse his actions. The fact he used that as an excuse is disgusting.
"My interactions with the people I work with have changed"
He should be a little more vague on that one
Tyler Platt na
This can't be the same Hollywood who virtue signals all the time??!
For the last time, stop speaking for vets! Don’t assume what offends us; we are as diverse as the rest of the country. we’re people. Not political tokens!
Durzio are you sure they want you to be seen as people ?
DDan Beatz what do u mean by this ?
Just seeing the split on the NFL kneeling thing between vets should just prove to people you are all individuals and people who did something amazing for the rest of us. You all have different opinions and thoughts. Also, Thank you for your service.
Well this will probably be on the Friday show
most people aren't talking about vets when they talk about respecting the flag - they're talking about the fallen.
The problem with the Hill story is that ESPN is a business, and having one of it's employees telling her followers to boycott certain aspects within the NFL, and potential sponsors of ESPN, her comments reflect poorly on the company, and potentially jeopardizes future prospects with other sponsors. Honestly the fact that she got a second chance and went for the bait later reflects on her professional integrity and inability to separate business with politics.
What about when Trump accused Obama of being a racist? He didn’t get fired from The Apprentice for that, did he?
Adam A. you're missing the part where it's at the discretion of your employer to fire you, not the mob on TH-cam and Twitter.
Adam A. You're comparing apples and oranges here man, when an ESPN contributer is telling her followers publicly to protest the NFL by boycotting brands and services she is directly causing risk to her parent company and potentially jeopardizing business deals in the future. When Trump makes a claim about the president being racist he comes off as an asshole but the president doesn't have a vested interest in whether or not Trump's show or the network at large thrives or not, two very different comparisons
I love how he says he's going to put all his energy into the NRA, and going in on a movie about the President. This is just like Saddam Hussein shooting SCUDs at Israel to garner support during the Gulf War. He's deflecting, he's playing on the politics of Hollywood. It's as if he's saying, "Yeah I did that, but my work is too important and you need me to solve the Trump problem, let's throw his retirement party!" Class A, Grade 1 Scumbag.
Well the problem with the cowboys stadium is that the city of Arlington declared eminent domain to build it.
Lets not ignore the fact that John Travolta said he had to perform felatio to get a role while he was UNDERAGE 14 years old! I doubt Harvey is the extent of what happens in HollyWood.
*role
Or Roman Polanski. Hollywood is full of people with power who use it to hurt others. That happens with a lot of child actors.
The abusers get into those industries because they are target rich environments.
It's not unlike prison guards, police and psychologists/psychiatrists.
Horrible people look for these position so they can take advantage of the power they inherently provide.
Wait but nobody said it was. Nobody said it was gender specific or age specific either. In fact in most articles and videos, this one including people are talking about how how this hopefully opens doors to talk about the sexual harassment and abuse in hollywood
Honestly, some people are just shitty! Doesn't matter what era they grew up in!
There was no era in the past hundred years in which it was acceptable to grope women and force them to watch you bathe. That's beyond a bullshit excuse. He's a fucked up dude, and it's good that he's fired.
I drove him at Sundance years ago as a Limo driver, he would continually ask me for "unorthodox massages" or to find him someone who whould...I played dumb.... finally I was talking to my male boss and he was horrified. I was reassigned the very next day and my boss gave him a male driver. This was totally his norm.
Tru Neilson this might sound of your reach but I urge you to reach out to the reporters from ny times. An email can do wonders my friend.
Any evidence or contribution to truth helps.
I hope your having a good day, peace
Cloudy 8 dont do the ny times a reporter for them in 2004 tried to do journalism on this guy amd the ny times shut it down and fired her don't give the info to complicit political agenda news sites, cjeck out tje new project Veritas video anout the NY Times just released to add to it!
Tru Neilson are you Lloyd Christmas?
Since you weren't in show business, it seems Harvey wasn't going only after women over whom he had power. What a despicable excuse for a man. Next we'll hear he's a sex addict, it's a disease, he couldn't help himself, blah blah blah
CJayin TV Uh, I don't know who that is, sorry.
I this modern age of Social Media, even having an opinion can get you suspended/fired...
As a non American i am so sick of hearing about Donald Trump vs the NFL, even in Australian media this is apparently an issue that concerns us.
No hate Phil but surely this story has to end soon.
It will when Trump is removed from office. If Trump wasn't such a baby nobody would have cared and it would have gone away after a week but nope Sir Cries a lot can't keep his mouth shut because people say "mean" things about him instead of stroking his ego and he is desperately trying to distract everyone with how many failings he has done and this continuing and ever advancing treason investigation.
Canadian. It makes more sense that we'd listen to the Trump media bullshit extravaganza, but still, preach.
Sorry that you’re having to hear about what’s going on in our country. It’s just that we live here and kind of give a shit.
Drunk Princess, We get that, but we got our own shit to worry about.
FlyingTurdNuggget I hope it ends soon!
To say that it was because he, "grew up in the 60s and 70s," is just bullshit. Why don't my parents or their friends that grew up at this time act like this? He only said that to try to add a measure of legitimacy to the lies and pain he has left behind for years.
t dog
He's hoping the ignorant, younger status quo will blindly agree with him. These kids think the 60s, 70s were the dark ages or something.
ESPN suspended Linda Cohn for talking about how ESPN was failing as a business, which was true, but she hurt the companies business image. Hill did something similar calling for fans to boycott NFL sponsors that are also ESPN sponsors. Any employee that does something that undermines or hurts their employers business is subject to suspension or firing.
“We’re kneeling because we’re standing up”
Sums up everything
Okay, why the hell is this guy so obsessed with massages?
dont kinkshame him !!!
My guess is it's his way of gagging how compliant they will be before he actually forces himself on them.
Dasha Smirnova
Or people watching him take showers...
That's a weird fetish for sure...
I think he's a "careful predator" Evil masochistic mind with the need of approval from his target.
Remember that diplomat that had the call girls wear the same thing & sit on a bunt cake...It's his pattern...he does the same thing every time & it's worked enough times he keeps doing it...like a serial killer...just hasn't graduated to serial killer...or there's no one to tell the tale. I guarantee you he feels no remorse (aside from getting caught) & in his mind it's all OK. He will walk free because he is filthy stinking rich & no one wants Kevin Smith movies to end:)
What about the California fire? 10+ dead, 1500+ homes destroyed. I'm from Petaluma so I live just south of the fire. The air smells toxic and yesterday a very thin layer of Ash covered the ground.
Ian Peracca I live in Sonoma, air quality is 281 (as of 2 hours ago) which is very unhealthy. I’m annoyed he isn’t covering this. My home has been out of power for 36 hours now
He said on Twitter today that he wasn't gonna be able to. Maybe he will tomorrow :D
I'm from solano county so also in the danger zone, and I think Phil isn't going to cover this until there is progress to the story. It would probably be preferable to talk about the entire situation after it's reached some containment. Whatever it is I'm sure there's a logical reason.
Good luck, and stay safe to you all in California. You'll all be in my heart.
thank you Connor :)
I think it's important to remember that when it comes to calling out high-profile celebrities for sexual misconduct, survivors almost always need to some sort of power or influence, too. And, if they don't have that, they'll need about 5+ other survivors to be able to corroborate before ANYONE would listen. I, for one, could out a LOT of people of influence who did utterly heinous, atrocious things while I was a child passed around in a dangerous ring of abuse -- in entertainment AND politics. But, I'm a nobody. When it comes to the unknown or the poor, the story becomes "They're in it for the money" and/or "They just want to get famous". They couldn't pooooossibly be being honest. This keeps countless victims silenced bc zero good can come from sharing. Your own life gets picked apart, new trauma emerges from countless corners, character assassinations get made, people don't believe you anyway, you RARELY see justice & you tend to become the villain more than the perpetrator.
*It's great to see so many using their voice and speaking up, but its also important to remember they're only getting support bc they have influence and/or a fanbase, too.*
Kaalyn - OPG I wouldn't say their lives get ruined but it is rather hectic isn't it? Tbh though the rapists life is ruined even if they aren't convicted. Obviously though, it goes without saying this dude is one fucked up asshole. But I wouldn't say their lives het ruined lol, it's not like people actually hate the victims and shit, but the publicity of it can make things very hectic, which could ruin their lives, but I don't think it's the result of "rape culture" or because people actually hate the victim and support the rapist.
It should still be made known, so that those who do believe you can at least do their part to boycott the celebrities. Also it'll start a rumour and may bring more supporters out. After all I only have to mention Richard Greer for so many people, and that rumour is false. That said I understand that it's difficult to come forward for many reasons, but I would 100% encourage ANY survivors of sexual misconduct to come forward.
Kaalyn - OPG I am so very sorry.
Kaalyn - OPG You lost me when I clicked read more. I have the general idea of what you're saying, but I'm not reading all of that. I agree with you, though.
All it took was someone to actually be in it for money or fame and it ruined the while thing. Do not blame the public for having suspicions. Not to mention our legal system is SUPPOSED to be "innocent until proven guilty" But when it comes to things like rape it is "guilty until proven innocent" and THAT is wrong as well, a lot of men had their lives ruined by women who had consensual sex and regretted it, so what better way to get past it than to say it was rape? That is not to say it is all cases, but an alarming amount of them are like that.
I kept thinking that the pillow was some kind of vampire hunting friendship statement, "Let's make stakes together!".XD
Whoa! 17 minutes?! Good thing I gotta poop.
I honestly hope we see more victims coming forward and more disgusting harassers getting fired and paying for what they did
When these allegations of sexual assult arises, you have to wonder, when Hollywood lectures us about sexism and social justice, who are they really talking to?
Phil, I need an update on these wild fires in CA. I live here, (about 15 miles from the closest fire) and the news and internet are filled with false information. I trust you to figure out what is true and what isn't, so please please please cover it. So far every other thing I hear online or on the news isn't true, and even attending my town hall meeting did not help. Please cover it, cover fire names and locations, where it's spreading. Along with not knowing what's true I don't even know where the fires are outside of my county. I would be so thankful Phil ❤
this was never acceptable in the 60s.
750 million dollars of taxpayer money for the raiders football stadium? That money would be far better spent on education, school renovation or dare I say scholarships to college. Potentially in 20 years one of those kids could grow up to cure cancer or we can have a football stadium that needs another 750mil to fix up.
outlaw three meh. The football stadium sounds better. Here in South Africa the president uses tax money for his homestead. Consider yourselves lucky. 😂😂😂
750 Million ain't shit compared to the amount of money we spend for the military, yearly. 600 Billion last I checked to maintain the hundreds of bases the US has all around the world. We spend 2k dollars for Forest Camo for troops fighting in the Dessert. I'm not joking, we do this!
TheDeadlyBlueWolf but to say that 750 mil isn't better spent somewhere else is silly.
It’s extremely unfair that taxpayers have to pay for sports stadiums. In Europe, all soccer stadiums are paid for by the owners.
Don't ever stop reporting the facts Philip. It's so refreshing and I don't ever click on your videos worrying about a political agenda.
The "I grew up in the 60s/70s" excuse isn't even an excuse. It's an explanation.
Like, regardless of when he grew up, he still is who he is. I find it bizarre that he started with that and straight away followed up by saying it wasn't an excuse. There was no need to say it in the first place if he didn't believe it was some kind of excuse.
I get that those things were acceptable in the 60s. But also, that was 50 years ago. So he's had plenty of time to adapt.
LiTAQ My dad grew up in that time and he'd be disgusted by this.
In fact, I think he's older than Weinstein.
I'd disagree, it's like a bank robber saying they robbed a bank for money. It's not an excuse but it is the reason for their actions. If it's true or not is a different story, I personally just think he's just a POS with nothing else to point at for his terrible actions.
If I can find it again I will link the story I read, but apparently Weinstein begged the Board of Hollywood Directors to support him or suspend him rather than remove him. He also said that he could use his money and power to take on the NRA. What the actual fuck.
edit: I should have known Phil would have done his work and put that bit into the vid.
Does this mean that people born in the 60s/70s can sexually assault women
Harvey Weinstein said in his statement that he "came of age in the 60's and 70's, when ALL the RULES about BEHAVIOUR and workplaces were different. That was the CULTURE then." What??? That's probably one of the lamest alibi and excuse that I've ever heard. The difference between the 60's-70's era and 2100's is that the people today are now more courageous to expose immorality from powerful men like you Mr. Weinstein, and the power of social media serves as the backbone for exposé.
Wicked man making all of the men in his era the same like him. Idiot!
Creative North True. I 100% agree with your last statement. and wickedness has no era. It's always there. It's the courage that people lack to counter evil.
Creative North Very well said man
Phil should give Harvey Weinstein that pillow that says "LET'S MAKE MISTAKES TOGETHER". That way all the women that will come to his room will get warned, hence it will be more consensual, not coercive. :D
I'm always sceptical when sexual harassment/rape happens and I don't cast my judgement till more evidence comes out because innocent till proven guilty. I'm glad that they have evidence to prove these and I hope they do something about it.
When I see a public figure say something on social media I do not think their views represent the views of the company they work for. That's absurd.
So it's Bill Cosby 2.0
Except Cosby was innocent
if cosby was innocent why isnt this guy?
Without the drinks.
Collin Corbean IMO this guy isn't confirmed guilty yet to all the accusations but I get where people are coming from, Bill Cosby was proven innocent in court.
*Prototype
This is a huge problem in the movie industry. A lot of woman are taken advantage of by men who control basically the future of their career and they feel too scared to speak out. I know someone who's an actress who has a similar story to these woman with a director. She never came forward because she was told her career would be over if she spoke out and no one would work with her again. She was told this by her agent. It's disgusting that woman feel pressured to keep quiet about something so serious. That's how this keeps happening.
Yeah women with no talent shouldn't be given such opportunities especially if they are just going to bitch about it later.
Mark Blaze Well tell me Mark, what kind of talents do you have and have you ever gotten as close to women as those directors have?
Der Plastiktütensammler you're proving marks point smh
Why even consider hollywood with how shitty it is
it has to speak to too much power in the hands of actors, directors and execs. They get to carry on like rockstars and have the personal connections to gatekeep on having a career. It has to undercut the protections against abuse. I doubt these businesses are built in a way that HR can take a complaint and sideline a director, exec etc. (it's a business where individual and relationships at the top might be worth hundreds of millions, while an emerging actor can be bought off, replaced, etc).
I just think they could stand to make things more professional. To have abuse, you have to have a system that has an inbuilt tolerance for abuse. These women were maneuvered into meeting HW in hotel rooms! How does a business function that will create that situation repeatedly?
Wait a minute..... He vowed to fight Trump? He litteraly just said that to get fake sympathy... What a propagandist..........
Next up boycott Hollywood, mainstream media, and music industry!
Kinda looks like white Bill Cosby
skibbity bibbity boppity chockit puddin
Omg you're right
Kinda looks like another trolling comment...
kinda acts like it too
Oh is he facing criminal charges?
If someone was raised without contact to the outside world in a home that taught that murder is okay as long as you're really angry enough, and then this person struggled to not murder people when trying to integrate with society, there wouldn't be all these bullshit excuses about how the way this hypothetical person was raised makes their murders any less wrong than any other murder... There are lots of people who were abused as kids and then go on to abuse their kids, and all of us know that "I was raised with values misaligned with society" is not any kind of excuse for beating their kids. This is the only situation where some people seem to think that this is a valid excuse, when they were "raised in a different time". ... So the fuck what? How does what year you were born make your crimes any fucking different? People need to stop with this bullshit
As someone from the UK the Weinstein story reminds me of BBC tv presenter and DJ Jimmy Saville . As an individual's power increases the temptation to consider themselves morally and legally 'untouchable' is sadly always there.
Phil..... you bangarang! Keep it up!
Please talk about the Napa fires. Not enough people are talking about it. Please spread the word
So basically Hollywood protected Weinstein until they couldn't any longer? Does anyone else feel like not reporting sexual harassment is a real shitty thing to do? That's like not reporting a rabbid dog in the neighborhood that's running around biting people. You know he's going to continue until someone reports him and the authorities can take action. I think they protected him to save their careers, which is sickening weather or not they were harassed. Both can be true, you can be harassed and be a shitty person. That's just my take.
Side note: I realize that reporting sexual harassment can be traumatic, but isn't it more traumatic to be harassed in the first place? By going through some trauma and reporting sexual harassment, you can prevent a person (or persons) from the more traumatic experience of being sexually harassed in the future.
I understand your sentiment, but a lot of the issue is that they're very likely not to be believed and will be twisted by the media to look like they are lying. We've seen how far these companies go to protect their money sources, so it's very possible that Weinstein would have put out a hit piece on the victim to discredit and humiliate. And with the internet as vindictive and gullible as it is, that harassment is probably something the victims don't want to deal with.
liar
Jerrad Johnson
One girl literally wore a wire FROM the police, they probably reported this but you know rich people get away with a lot of things if its not super public. Also reporters had this story, people already knew the girls spread the word and HIS team and HIS money protected him
Jerrad Johnson I dont think you understand how the world works, my boy. But we humans are selfish creatures. None of us do anything out of the kindness of our hearts because, by nature, we are evil. People in the media and in Hollywood wont speak out against people in higher positions because they can benefit from it. No human being is thinking about others, not friends, not loved ones. Thats the same reason I dont believe these people should be seen as heroes for speaking out. Some of them for 10-20 years, they allowed this guy to continue assaulting more and more women, and only decided now, at the opportune time, to strike back?
In the case of why they dont speak out, its usually because they dont want to be ousted as the whistleblower. Basically, theyre scared of how they might be portrayed. Which, lets be honest, is completely stupid.
I can respect someone hating Trump and hating some of the groups that support him. But that pretentious way these celebrities speak about how they're better people than the majority of common Americans who voted Trump, because they pushed a different button in November, is disgusting and elitist; and yet somehow they're surprised why so much of America didn't want to vote for the candidate they supported.
yeah there's so many better ways to take down trump and these idiots always go about it the wrong way, I'd recommend watching Secular talk if you want real analysts of Trumps horrible, hypocritical policies.
Blabesh Yup, I'm no fan of him, but all this does is alienate people
Agree 100%. Ashamed to live in a country where who you supported politically can get you bullied, jumped, or even killed.
It's America's stupid bi-party system.
The goal is to pick a person closest to the center; so you get the one in the center of the first half, and in the center of the second half, and see which one happens to be closer to where the two halves meet. It's retarded.
If you know a bit of math, it's essentially finding the median by checking whether the first quartile or third quartile is closer. There's a reason no-body does that.
Democrats say trump is a shit president elected by retarded Republicans, and wonder how someone so far from center got elected; yet they can't seem to understand that, evidently, Clinton was even farther from center than trump.
It' rarely about which side has the better candidate anymore, it's all about who was worse.
I wouldn't call myself a hardcore liberal by any means, but every time Trump "weighs in" on these issues, it feels like he's just demonstrating what a mistake it was to elect him as president. Bush may have been seen as a bit of an idiot, but Trump has destroyed the respect for the office of the President beyond repair. I'd hardly be surprised if the Republicans would vote in a convicted rapist, as long as it stopped the Democratic candidate from taking office. Wait, how about Weinstein?
People were always saying that nothing will remove sexual harassers from high positions but now it's happening because we're raising awareness among people and work together. I'm glad to witness it
I'm sick and tired of hearing about the 'kneeling controversy'. It's stupid & inconsequential and the only purpose it serves is to raise the profile of the people involved and to virtue signal. Just stop.
Personally I think that anyone who uses "I grew up a long time ago, things are different than they used to be" as an excuse is just an asshole. Things didn't suddenly change overnight and even if that was "ok" back in the day it doesn't mean that it was right.
OnaiGames yeah like, even if you came out of a coma it would probably take less than a week to adjust.
OnaiGames exactly. He got caught that's why he had to give this statement. If he wasn't then he would still be preying on women.
I also think the culture was assuming that a woman should just brush off an assault or that she provoked the assault rather than the majority of men going about and assaulting women. Most people do not enjoy someone's clear discomfort or distress.
OnaiGames just because it doesn't happen nowadays doesn't mean it's wrong.
There isn't a golden rules list of how to act.
Who knows in 3018 it might be illegal to look at people in the eyes without their consent
I wonder if the calling out of Weinstein will get Hollywood to also call out Woody Allen and Roman Polanski.
Thanks for being so thorough with the Weinstein scandal. You brought up things I didn't know yet, so I appreciate getting the full picture!
Jemelle shouldn't have used her platform to talk politics, but it does seem like ESPN didn't care until her platform was potentially going to cost them money. Just sayin.
Arun Mangrulkar And what if she was fired for saying she was a Muslim on Facebook? Of course religious views are protected by law but somehow political views aren't...
Wyatt Barone your political views are protected bye the government not your employer.
It definitely looks like they cared to me the first time, they were just trying to be chill about it since it was a one time thing.
I am in agreement with everything Jemele Hill has said about the president and personally, I'm in favor of an NFL boycott. That being said, it's down right stupid of her to take to Twitter and advise viewers to boycott an organization that her company relies on to maintain viewership. She absolutely has the right to her opinion, but with her high visibility on social media, she's jeopardizing her employment. If, however, her activism is more important to her than working for ESPN, I say more power to her.
Johto I hate Trump, but I was not ready to say he was a racist. However, after watching him for the past year I can't deny the overwhelming evidence that he is.
When you refresh like crazy
I'm confused as to what she did that implied it was ESPNs opinion, was it a company account?
tcmalloc just the fact that she expressed personal sentiment while an employee of the company
tcmalloc she gave a list of companies that they could get mad at to boycott the NFL which also advertise for ESPN is a really dumb move. On the topic no it was her personal account, but remember if enough people yell at ESPN or any company they will act. You can see this for any company for any individual on any political topic.
tcmalloc she had in her account that she was employed ESPN
Thanks for the great content and the Daly Phil in
I do just have to say that ESPN did a great job of handling this situation. We're seeing more and more lately, and Phil even mentioned it recently, that people's jobs are the first place the public goes to when people say something publicly, which puts a lot of companies in awkward positions. In this case, ESPN did a great job of explaining that Jemele was entitled to her own opinion, even if it wasn't shared by the company, but that to post that opinion in a place where she represented ESPN was where she went wrong. She apologized and they forgave her, and it was a great way to handle the situation, assuming the rumors about replacing her were false. Then she turned around and almost spit in the face of that leniency by doing the exact same thing again. ESPN was completely justified in suspending her and I'll be surprised if she has a job after all of this.
I agree but this is not true for other situations. The person who worked for cbs last week was fired for saying something over Facebook. She wasn't a public name for cbs, but on her Facebook page, it stated that she worked for them and only through digging did people find her full connection so they bombarded cbs saying she represented them causing her to get fired. Not that I agree with her or don't honk she deserved punishment for what she said, but in these situations, saying things publicly online seems to immediately connect you to your job no matter the level of public representation and so companies are finding themselves in awkward positions like this more and more and I just feel that ESPN did the best job of covering themselves while still not necessarily punishing someone for what they do in their personal lives.
So Brad Pitt defo knew this shit was going on cos both a girlfriend and his later on wife both had issues.
My problem with the Weinstein issue is power abuse comes in all forms. He's a great example of a straight white man who abuses his power and manipulates women for sexual acts, but ANYONE can abuse this power, be they straight, gay, black, white, man, woman.... I myself was abused sexually and manipulated by a gay woman, and have been ridiculed for speaking up about it. Some parts of society are not supportive to victims of abuse that don't fit their ideals. Anyone can be a victim, and anyone can be an abuser.
Did he say he's put together a team .... to help him know basic right from wrong?!?! Someone lock this individual up.
Whole situation not funny,
but the idea of Brad Pitt confronting Harvey Weinstein for suggesting Gwyneth Paltrow give him massages is fucking hilarious.
Half Hour go Brad!
People can be so disgusting, don't keep silent. I know some people won't believe victims, but don't let these kind of perverts get away with it.
Ladies, have your business meetings in business rooms
The company i work for has a strict social media policy.
As for Jemele Hill.. ESPN must REALLY like her. She must do an exceptional job, because they could have easily fired her. Simply from looking at how other public figures are treated by the companies they work for, she got extremely lucky. The first tweets were already bad, then she comes back and does it again?? She needs to start playing the lotto.
SBCannon agreed
They're also between a rock and a hard place. A black woman on a sports show? If they fire her, there's going to be outrage out the ass. If it were a white dude saying this, he'd have been canned after the first tweet.
If they don't follow their suspension/termination guidelines to the tee they open themselves to multi million dollar wrongful termination suits
ZotharReborn
And people complain that white people are soooo privileged
SBCannon more like it would hurt the company to fire her . They don't want to risk a lawsuit and PR disaster .
ESPN gave her a warning, and she didn't listen. She deserves the consequences of her actions. That's it. She should be thankful ESPN didn't fire her in the spot like other companies have done before. She should have been thankful for a warning, and she blew it.
So by your logic Trump should be fired too for telling people to protest, right? Oh wait she's black so she isn't allowed.
Phantom42
What are you talking about? This is an employee breaking the rules two times inba row and being punished for it. That's it. It has nothing to do with skin color. And I have no idea what the Trump protest nonsense is suppose to mean.
The Dude some could say women are protected more because "diversity". And because she's a black woman, I could understand why they wanted to keep her. However with her actions, I probably would have fired her the after her first offense.
Are the 70s a valid excuse for Rolf Harris and Jimmy Saville also?
The past few episodes have been really great and informative. Keep up the great work. You’re becoming a very good journalist .
