Sup you beautiful bastards. Hope you've been a fantastic Wednesday
Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show and let's just jump into it
The first thing we're gonna talk about today is actually it was a viewer requested story that was in a save for Friday
But I kind of want to just knock it out
I think a lot of people thought I was going to talk about this on Monday
But the thumbnail I had was in reference to youtube rewind not this specific situation
But here we go. I wanna say it was about a week ago. We covered the the Forbes top ten highest paid youtuber list
We went through the list and was a lot of names you would expect some people might be surprised by channels like Ryan
Toys Review and also note and this will come into play in a second
I mentioned that these numbers aren't exact. This is speculation from before. I mean the true top
Ten list the numbers going to be different and you're probably gonna have a bunch of different faces
But it's still interesting to see lists like this pop up
well
One of the stories that ended up popping up is you had a massive created by the name of Lilly Singh aka
Superwoman in response to the article. She tweeted "two years ago, it was almost even between male and female last year,
It was just me, and this year there are no females at all something. something I predicted in my Instagram caption last year."
I'm concerned. The digital space is going to repeat the mistakes of ancient industries, hope I'm wrong. And then two days later
She tweeted "As a result, I received some angry tweets from men. Remind me why you are mad again."
"I'm not playing a quote gender card. I'm literally stating facts about results in an article. Let's do better,
I'm not your enemy." then two days after that tweeting "My concern wasn't me not being on the list.
I likely don't deserve to be on the list this year to be honest. I've had a tough year
I know that my concern was no female representation by pointing out that concern. I am NOT attacking the men on the list
They should be proud of their accomplishments. Even the few who may not be fond of me.
Secure your back my friends. Nor am I attacking Forbes
or YouTube. I am simply pointing out a concerning cultural pattern slash
Trend that I see within the industry and as a woman, and honestly, just as a human being I feel it's important to be concerned
About patterns like this." and later adding "If standing up for my fellow women slash
Sisters makes me a target for attack and I'll learn to live with I say this with love in my heart and a smile on
my face zero desire to create drama many people asking."
Well, what is your opinion regarding what Lilly's throwing out there?
What I would personally say is I think that Lilly is basing a reaction to all of this on information that may not be completely
Factual as well as a misunderstanding of our environment here online versus that of the mainstream entertainment
Industry one regarding the how factual the list is part
I don't want to blow up people's spots
But I've heard and seen some of the money that gets thrown around in the female beauty vlogger space and a ho ho
Obviously a lot of people out there gonna have different deals. Do they do it themselves. Do they not?
But I mean you're talking about an industry that has incredibly
fantastic margin. So really wouldn't surprise me of some of the top paid people on the platform were women
Also some of the people on this list and off this list
I mean the numbers gonna be different because they have some partnerships or equity deals with certain companies
That's why once again
I think this reaction is
Happening from something that is not entirely factual and to regarding the difference in our industry versus that of mainstream
is that there's really not as many middlemen or
Gatekeepers or decision makers we've seen some of the old players integrate into the industry
all of a sudden people have managers agents at the end of the day the people on this list like what is being
Calculated it seems to be based off of views which generates YouTube advertising
Revenue as well as third-party ad sales as well as merchandise for the most part that is completely based on
Whoever the creator is and the audience they're able to pull in
the funny thing is I wouldn't be completely shocked to find that Lilly Singh and creators like her get a far better advertising rate than
People like me. And that's not a man versus woman thing
it's just that she makes much cleaner safer content than I do, which is a creative and or business choice
So I guess I don't know with with Lilly Singh pointing this out kind of saying that this is a problem
What she imagines the solution might be right. I guess it comes down to what does she think that it?
That is holding women in the industry down versus their their male counterparts
I personally just don't see what she's talking about being a reality in our industry
It's a completely different world than giant giant corporation 20th Century Fox hires two people of the same
General size but one's male one's female and the paid is disproportionate, but also on that note
I welcome Lilly Singh or anyone that agrees with her regarding this list and the general situation
Online to educate me about how I'm wrong. And also I think I want to tag on the end of this
This is me
simply
disagreeing with what she's putting out there talking about that list about why I think
That none of this is kind of based on steady ground
Please do not take this as a reason to go harass her people can disagree and that's that and there have been people that have
Publicly disagreed with her and then just I've seen just the slew of harassment thrown her way, right?
There's no reason on topics like this, I think let's debate and hear where the other person's coming from. Through hearing those words
whoever's actually willing to listen you either walk away with better information or at least an understanding of
Where someone is either at fault or where they're coming from?
But with that said, of course I welcome your thoughts on this whether you agree disagree
Let me know where you're coming from then in entertainment news with it being the end of the year
We are now starting to see those lists pop up the blank of 2018
Most popular the most consumed the most searched-for of 2018 and at the center of these releases today
We had Netflix and pornhub. Regarding Netflix while they're incredibly private about their numbers and are not showing an exact number
They did release two interesting lists the first being the most revisited movies on their platform number 3
You had Roxanne Roxanne number 2 To all the boys i've loved before and number 1 the kissing booth.
they said for the top 2 more than 50% of the people that watch that movie once then went back and watched it again and
Their other list was the most binge series list at 10 you have orange is the new black season 6 number 9
You have insatiable.
So maybe that's your answer for all the people that wanted that show to get
Canceled why it is now coming back for season 2 and with Anne with an E season 2 The Haunting of Hill House, Fastest Car, Bodyguard,
Last chance U. Indeed standing on the podium we have 13 Reasons Why season 2.
Oh my god
That season finale had me stressing. Making a Murderer part 2 and at the number one spot you had On My Block
Which I'll be honest
I had never heard of but also I don't think that should be the most surprising
Thing. It feels like Netflix is just releasing two much.
I mean I will continue to try and watch all of it, but it's it's just it's a different Netflix world nowadays
Remember when a Netflix series launching was like a big thing?
Now I constantly find myself opening it up and I'm like wait what was released five days ago, but that's that Netflix
I love you
Thank you for letting me slowly waste my time with you. And then on the other side of this we have pornhub who they they are
really fantastic about releasing their analytics
They release their searches that define
2018 and that top-10 list included the likes of Bowsette, followed by Tinder, Tattoos, Outdoor, Trans
Romantic, 4k. Turns out when people say size matters
Sometimes they're talking about pixel. As far as the top two you had Fortnight and then Stormy Daniels also
I'm very excited to announce America, we did it
We are the kings of searching for pornography on pornhub
And did number 1 by a landslide which is really saying something if you think about it because India who has over 1.3
Billion people is at number three we're just crushing it.
So thank you for doing your part America and also of note a little at YouTube was on this list
So popular celebrity searches you had stormy Daniels Kim Kardashian's still rocking it
Blac Chyna and then at number four youtuber Lena the plug. It's breaking into the mainstream everywhere. Yeah, that's that story
They're always watching you watching them that came out a little creepier than I am from that
I want to share some stuff I love today and today in awesome brought to you by a mid-roll
Did it happen or did we get demonetised again? Like yesterday's video YouTube? Way to be consistent potentially side note
I wanted to take a moment
Not only to thank the people that watched us but thank you to all your beautiful bastards that have paid subscriptions over to DeFrancoElite.com
You have provided as stability as well as the ability to grow. So, thank you
So incredibly much and actually on that note first bit of awesome today currently the process of making a video for December 24th
We're gonna talk about everything that we're planning to to change and maneuver and add for q1 and q2 fldwfihwefiw next year
I don't know what that sound was
I'm gonna be to be stressed out of my mind
spread thin but I am so incredibly excited then we had kids trying a thing that I avoided for many many years and then had
And then I really loved the avocado toast. We had nerdwriter one giving us how Emily Dickinson writes a poem, Jennifer Lopez and Milo Venti Frappucino extra whip
Playing can you feel it. We got a trailer for Captive State. We got a trailer for escape room.
Life Noggin giving us the dangerous effects of the hyper focus drug. Red Bull gave us rooftop skiing in France. Google gave us a video on
the year in search for 2018 then we got the
$100,000 leave the circle challenge for mr. Beast. And remember if you want to see the full versions of everything
I just shared the secret link of the day really anything at all
Links as always are in the description down below. And then we have a quick update on michael cohen President Trumps former personal attorney
He as of this morning has been sentenced to three years in federal prison
disregarding charges involving him lying to congress, campaign finance violations
And tax evasion and his sentence involves his plea agreements with the prosecutors in both the Southern District of New York and the Muller
Investigation. Muller's is team crediting Cohen with significantly assisting their team in their investigation
We had Cohen issuing a statement in the courtroom saying I take full responsibility
for each act that I pled guilty to
personal ones to me and those
involving the President of the United States of America and also saying recently the president tweeted a statement calling me weak and it was
Correct, but for a much different reason than he was implying it was because time and time again
I felt it was my duty to cover up his dirty deeds. Although a note regarding Cohen, he's not going straight to federal prison
He's not reporting there until March 6. And actually there was another bit of news
That was somewhat related to this. As you might remember among other things there were allegations that Donald Trump had an affair with former Playboy
Model Karen McDougal and connected to those allegations you had the allegations that the National Enquirer killed that story for Donald Trump
they bought it for
$150,000 and they killed it. Well
According to Axio the Southern District of New York announced Wednesday that it has reached a non-prosecution agreement with American media Inc
National Enquirer's parent company adding as part of the agreement, AMI admitted to making a
$150,000 payment in concert with then candidate Trump's presidential campaign to suppress a story about an alleged affair. prosecutors saying AMI
admited it's principal purpose in making the payment was to suppress the woman's story
so as to prevent it from
Influencing the election. This of course massive news because the story in the past was like, oh, yeah
We gave her that money for editorial reasons
well
this is incredibly meaningful because according to experts this really hurts Trump's ability to say that that wasn't about the election right because
Consistently Donald Trump and as people have said oh well, this is a private matter
It was not connected
But that's now we're hearing from AMI who did suppress the story. But as right now we're just getting these updates and it'll be interesting
To see if there there are other dominoes that are going to fall very interesting times.
Now let's talk about what's happening in the UK right now because what's happening in the UK affects the EU and affects the world so
Brexit chaos has been more prominently back in the news again, and it's something that we last covered about a month ago
of course for months now the United Kingdom and the European Union have been in
negotiations over how the two would split the UK as until March 29th of next year for any
Negotiations to be resolved and while this could have been extended British prime minister Theresa
May made it a hard out by writing the deadline into law and if no deal over brexit is reached it could create huge problems
For UK businesses operating in Europe and the other way around as well as chaos for UK citizens living in the EU and vice versa
And this deal is both big in the idea of it as well as the actual literal size of it, November 14th a legally binding
585 page with the dorama deal was reached between British
Negotiators in the EU on many aspects on how the two would divorce also including a non-binding
26 page statement on future relations between the two so that kind of more of a statement of goodwill that these are the things they'd
Like to be done that deal of course was not a done deal
It still need to be ratified by Parliament and that vote was set to happen on Tuesday, December 11
Although as mentioned when we covered at last not a lot of people really excited about it
And so somewhat unsurprisingly this past Monday night may ended up scrapping the vote admitting. The deal would be rejected
Along with that she didn't say when a new vote was planned
Although nearly every party was demanding a vote happened before the end of the year, or at least no later than mid-january
Also another interesting thing we've seen since we last covered, this is a
Revitalized more backed idea behind what people have been calling a people's vote a second referendum this idea behind okay
Let's have a second referendum
What if the people actually now want to stay maybe you got enough people liking the idea and the prospect of what would happen now?
That people have been trying to make that happen and it has just fallen incredibly short what if the people now want to stay.
But, in addition to people like Teresa Mays saying no
there will not be a second referendum the people that had this idea they faced the issue that it was believed that the UK couldn't
Do that without the approval of the other 27 member states of the EU?
But on December 10th one day before the vote in the brexit deal was supposed to happen
The European Court actually ruled that the UK could unilaterally
Decide to cancel and keep their status in the EU as long as it was done quote
Democratically meaning that the calls for a new referendum on brexit have better legal standing
but all of that said we really need to dive into Teresa May's new problem. Shortly after delaying the vote on the brexit deal may
Left the UK to meet with other European leaders and reportedly while she was there
She was looking for assurances on the things that the current brexit deal doesn't cover right things like trade and how the Northern Ireland backstop
Would work. However
Even those assurances were withheld the European Parliament issuing a statement today where they made it clear they
Supported the backstop and without it
They wouldn't vote for the agreement main point here not great for me here and then it gets worse after delaying the vote while she
Was meeting leaders in Europe
There were calls by many in labour and their allies were a no-confidence vote
against May and her government such a vote if passed would mean May would step down a general election would be triggered and a new
Prime minister chosen and there are concerns that a general election would be
disastrous as the March 29th deadline for a brexit decision is quickly approaching and a sudden switch in government could confuse the process but as
Far as the timing here. It wasn't exactly clear what would happen.
We saw Labour leader
Jeremy Corbyn saying that he doesn't plan to instigate a no-confidence vote until it has the highest chance of passing ideally after a brexit deal
Vote fails, but here's the thing a no-confidence vote from the opposition party in Parliament isn't too surprised
however
At the same time there had also been some talk about her own party instigating a no-confidence vote and declare if I hear these two
No-confidence votes are different things one and this would come from the outside would likely be against May and her entire
Government and seek to change which party was in charge by saying elections needed to be held and everyone in Parliament would vote on this
And these rarely win the last time that happened
It was March of 79 and the other kind would be from Mays own party only seeking to change who is the Prime Minister and
Only her party the Conservative Party would vote on this one and on that note this conservative led no confidence vote was first seriously hinted
At yesterday by Duncan Smith. He's a former Exeter a former Conservative Party leader, and he said on ITV I do detect
That in the last 24 hours
People have decided that this isn't going to work out at all. According to Conservative Party rules
They only need 48 MPs at a
330 that would need to sign a vote for no confidence to challenge Mays leadership which then brings us to the huge news today where
It was reported that the 48 vote threshold within the Conservative Party had been exceeded and that a vote of no-confidence
Would be held today.
And as far as the initial indications following this it seemed like it might be close. Quickly following this news
We saw 160 conservative members publicly say that they will support May and that number is incredibly important because she needs roughly
166 votes to keep her position as Prime Minister
So as long as they privately are voting like they're talking about publicly at the very least
it's gonna be close. And also something interesting happening right before this vote is something that Theresa May sent according to report she told
Members of internal Conservative Party Committee, "I won't lead the party into the next general election."
So that's been seen by some as her way of saying let me drag this body across the finish line
I'm not looking to maintain this position be the People's Champ. I will just get the job done. Although it should be noted
That's Theresa May actually has a lot of support from voters in her own party
according to recent polling
58 to 28 conservative voters think she should remain conservative leader and Prime Minister and even among general population
It was 40% to 34% and as it's been noted
It would be a big deal if she won because that also means that she wouldn't be able to be challenged for a year and
The big news surrounding this story announced just before I finished this video and this next cut is
Indefinitely not coming because I have to wait for it to be announced which is further in the future although for you
It's just gonna be in a few seconds is... Theresa May will remain Prime Minister
Thanks to a vote of 200 in support of May and 117 against and so now that we have that news
I really do want a pass question off to you. What do you think happens from here?
Are we going to see a meaningful drastic change is the UK still a headed towards that cliff?
What do you think happens from here and specifically to the people in the EU and the UK?
What do you want to happen?
Also question do we have anyone watching that you voted leave or stay and now you've changed your mind and if so,
Why are why not? That's actually where I'm going to end today's show
