'Sup you beautiful bastards hope you're having a fantastic
Monday welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show and let's just jump into it and the first thing we're going to talk about today by
Far one of the most requested stories from over the weekend. I'm just gonna try and get through it really quick
There's more in the realm of drama
That's stemmed from a news story, but people just keep asking me about it
So let's just knock it out. And this new situation stems from last week's pewdiepie
Controversy. That of course one of the largest youtubers on the platform said this "what a fucking nigger jeez oh my god
What the fuck?" there's a big reaction
PewDiePie apologized, another big
Reaction. I talked about it last week, some fast tracking through the specifics
And then another massive YouTuber by the name of Ethan Klein who of course is one half of h3h3 productions
Talked about this on his podcast. Before we move forward
I want you to know that there is no way that I can be completely unbiased
I like Ethan I have been on his podcast
We helped raise money for him with his lawsuit when we didn't have a studio
He let us use his place for a week
There's history there
And I think that's important for transparency sake. But back to the story on the h3
Podcast Ethan says something that ends up resulting in a lot of people saying that he was a hypocrite
I know Ethan has tweeted, "'many people are saying' is the oldest trick in the book of shady journalism to express a biased opinion without
Actually explicitly saying it" and to Ethan I would say that is true in some
Instances. When you have instances like Donald Trump saying "Well a lot of people are saying that Ted Cruz's father
Maybe was connected to the assassination of candidate"
That's a trick
But if you look at the number of dislikes, the amount of people tweeting and making videos saying "I think that you're a hypocrite" that's just
Stating a fact that now you can easily argue that the person that's saying it
They may have the intent to make more people think that that is true because they don't also maybe provide a counterpoint of what other
People are saying if you look at the public information that's out there, it was it was true
Okay So what did he say let's take a look he dropped the N bomb and he dropped it pretty hard. When I first saw that
I was- I was pretty shocked. I'm like dude come on man
you know
Like this kind of shit really reflects poorly on all of us. I was-- I wasn't like angry
I was more like disappointed like damn dog really it's completely indefensible this time. Yeah, yeah, man
he really just dropped the N bomb like straight up. And the way he used it was just awful.
Some people were angry because they saw Ethan and Felix as people that were friends, so for
just that reason they were saying that was a
Backstab, and you had others saying that Ethan was a hypocrite because of his friendship and support of Ian, aka
iDubbz. In his videos iDubbz says
"Say nigger"
"My name is Ian and I'm a nigger fag"
And on the h3
Podcast when Ian was on Ethan said "he is the kind of guy who his slogan is 'nigger faggot'
And I'm not gonna get in trouble because I'm just quoting him"
But this is something Ethan also talks about in that h3 podcast where he's talking about PewDiePie "and look
There's different ways to use the n-word
Like iDubbbz used it - okay and first of all there I-I
Understand people who had criticized iDubbbz and say that's fucked up the way you use it
But at least in iDubbbz there's there's context
He did it as a point to make a joke to make a parody of Tana
Mangu, who in the past had dropped n-bombs and then tweeted at him saying. 'Oh, how dare you use racial slurs'
Yeah, and so the way he did it was very specific and very smart
It was very rhetorical and very smart the way he use it whether you and and people who are offended
It's certainly defensible because it's still an offensive word but in this case
There's no there's no context"
And as far as the context offends, let's explain that well
I've personally been on the site for over a decade and when I hear that phrase. I don't think of Ian
I think of that old derek comedy sketch
"Your word
Is nigger faggot"
side note props to Donald Glover for those two Emmy wins last night. Even though
That's the first time I ever heard that in comedy,
It's often associated with iDubbbz. the context of that phrase is Ian has a series where he makes fun a Kickstarter the owner of
one of those
Kickstarter's made a vlog where he calls Ian the word so Ian began using it to make fun of it also appears that maybe Ian's
Use of it has evolved from the original use of the phrase feeding into his argument
It's either all okay or none of it's okay
And then separately the moments we see Ethan using the phrase he has I dubs on he says I'm quoting him then he goes on
To use it again and again even Ian's saying that he was using it a bit liberally that's part of the reason people are saying
That Ethan's being a hypocrite here whereas others are saying. No. That's the Joke case
joke is messed up
But you gave me a pass right people gonna have different opinions on that as far as what I think is there a difference in
The way that I dubs in it and Felix did it yeah and once again?
This is not me saying whether it was okay, or not Ian's use of it as almost an attempt to defuse language
There's context there. There's a point trying to be made in situations like we saw with Felix
What a fucking nigger in situations like we saw in the past with Tana mojo
That was a word being used in a derogatory way in Tana situation direct direct and Felix a situation was less than direct
It was about someone. He was dealing with pass a question off to you
Do you think that difference matters are we talking about okay versus not okay, or we're talking about hate versus stupid
I'm very interested in your takeaway from this so let me know what you're thinking in those comments down below from that

I just shared the secret link of the day anything at all links is always on the description down below
Then let's talk about why Elijah?
Daniel was back in the news this week Elijah if you don't remember was recently in the news after there was mass
Outrage that he became the mayor of Hell an actual place in America soon after he received that position he banned all
Heterosexuals from town not the real story is it was a gimmick. It was a joke. It was just for trolling
There was that
But then it appeared that Elijah was not happy with the number of people
infuriated by his joke and so he decided to do something that he announced in a tweet saying I'm going to rewrite the Bible but
Change it to be gayer. Just to piss straights off in two days later
He actually did that when he released the Holy Bible, but gayer on Amazon in his version
It's Adam and Steve God is Rihanna Satan is Donald Trump Jesus turns water into
Very quickly Elijah's Bible made it to the number one bestseller spot in the Christian ebook section also receiving a ton of positive reviews
Before Elijah and his fans could fully rejoice. The book was kicked out
it was made unavailable for order Elijah saying a book got banned and announcing that he was selling the PDF version on his website for
$2.99 but around this removal you had people angry and happy about this some saying good
It was disrespectful offensive attacking religion others decrying this move saying it is just blatant censorship there
I will say as someone that is against censorship. It doesn't necessarily look like this is censorship
If you look at Amazon's content policy as far as self-published books
There's areas where it looks like maybe the book violated something things like no pornography in Elijah's version
There's sex just like the Bible
But the Bible wouldn't have to follow the same rules that said since this story blew up the ban
Happened Amazon sent an email saying that this was a mistake and has since
Reinstated the book so Amazon seems to be fine with that so that's the situation and here's my takeaway from it well my initial
Reaction to this and it doesn't even pertain to this story is I can tell that Elijah loves to be edgy
I also bet he wouldn't do this with a certain other
Holy book - well Elijah revealed his purpose for doing this from the get-go was to piss off straight people right we already know that
He likes a troll but it also by him changing certain parts of the Bible yet exposes you to some of the weird stuff
That's in it. There's a part in Elijah Daniels Bible where he writes
Let's get our daddy to drink mimosa and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our Father that night
They got their daddy to drink mimosa and the other daughter went in and literally raped him
This is really in the fucking Bible isn't that insane? I only changed a few words this shit is in the Bible
It was not aware of it when she laid down or when she got up
I mean That's a thing
that's
Actually in the Bible tells you that I've not read the Bible or did not have to go to Catholic school like I do yeah
This guy lied who lives with his family inside two angels arrived in Sodom and Ladas
Hospitable to them lets them stay at his house
But then the men of Sodom Issa round Lots house and demand that lot give them the Angels so they can rape them
But instead lot says hey
How about you have my two virgin?
Daughters men of the mob say no we want the Angels the Angels then blind them they warn lot to leave Sodom before it's destroyed
He leaves with his two virgin daughters his wife gets turned into a pillar of salt. There's a three of them. They escape there
They're living in a cave at this point lots of daughters realizes. They're not gonna be able to find a man
They realize no men no sex no babies. No family lines
They get their father drunk two nights in a row and they have sex with him without his knowledge
They both end up getting pregnant and then of we have those babies
So it's an odd side effect to this obvious trolling we get to educate ourselves a little more on what's in there finally three?
I want to pass the question off to you
What what is your takeaway from making fun of religions from the years of doing this show covering stories?
I've seen a lot of people offending or attacking religion
and it's so interesting to see how the
opinions around
stories like this change over the years me and Charlie Hebdo make fun of the Prophet Mohammed and then their place got shot up a
Lot of people saying je suis charlie that this should never happen no matter how disrespectful
It is we have to allow that freedom, but we also saw a lot of pushback a lot of people saying well
What do you expect a my response to this day is that words and images should not be met with bullets
Then you see a different response from different people when Charlie Hebdo goes after the Catholic Church it
Also had a recent cover that kind of connected the victims of one of the hurricanes in America to white
Supremacy ultimately where I always land is while I may be personally disgusted by some things or I understand why people are
Infuriated by something I do think that it should be a lot obviously
Amazon's policies for this specific kind of release that that's one thing yeah
Let me know what your takeaway is from this and then let's talk about the really big news out of St. Louis
on Friday former police officer jason Stockley was acquitted of murdering Anthony Lamar, Smith, and so we're seeing from this is in
St.Louis protests that are then devolve into riots at night Before. We jump into that part
Let's talk about the shooting incident the incident occurred on December 20th 2011 and Smith was shot by police after a high-speed chase
There's dashcam footage of shows most of everything
So let's walk through that we see now former officer Jason Stockley and his partner Brian Bianchi they confront Smith after he allegedly
Engaged in a drug deal in the parking lot of a Church's Chicken
I think I'm note is that at this time Smith was out on parole
He'd previously been convicted of drug distribution theft and illegal gun possession
although Kirk when Taylor Smith's friend
He said he met Smith for lunch and had brought his son saying Smith had no gun and there was no drug deal happen
So notes that will be importantly in the video police order Smith to stop instead Smith tries to maneuver his car so that he can
flee you see him hit the police SUV and
Stockley Smith manages to flee out of the parking lot and Stockley fires one shot after the fleeing car then during the pursuit it has
Been suggested that in the dashcam audio you can hear Stockley say he is going to quote going to kill this motherfucker. Don't you know?
Once they catch up to Smith's card this happened
And in the following moments we don't have audio but according to the police report
There are a few moments of non-compliance
And then we see Stockley fire four shots into the car fatally wounding Smith doc
Elyse Andy thought Smith was reaching for a weapon and he acted in self-defense
And this is an important moment for the case against Stockley
Not just because he fired the weapon because the prosecution pointed out that if you look at officer Bianchi
He doesn't have his gun drawn as he approaches the vehicle and it doesn't appear that he thinks Smith is a threat at any time
Others argue. He could just be in shock that in the footage
We see after backup arrived Stockley steps away, and returns his unused rifle to the SUV. Then we see later
He goes back to the car and register his duffel bag Stockley later claiming that he was getting a first-aid kit
While Smith's family and prosecution claimed that he was getting a gun to plant in the car
There is no clear view in the video of what he grabs and when Smith is pulled out of the car
Stockley gets into the driver's seat according to the initial report Stockley went to locate the weapon and render it st
And in the car they said they found a bag of heroin with Smith's DNA on it
And he also found a gun that ended up only having stock Lee's DNA on as this happened before Ferguson for
2014 and at that time to st
Louis police investigated police involved shootings internally for this case they decided there was not enough evidence to charge Stockley with homicide then in 2013
Stockley left the force to move to Houston that same year the st
Louis metro police department pays out nine hundred thousand dollars in settlement money to Smith's family and then in
2016 the FBI and police discovered new evidence though, it's not clear exactly what that was or whatever
It was prompted charges to be filed against Stockley so then what happened well Stockley waived his right to a trial by jury so only
A judge decided on his case on Friday the verdict was announced
And it was not guilty
Timothy Wilson say this court in conscience cannot say that the state has proven every element of murder beyond a reasonable doubt or that the
State has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant did not act in self-defense
On the claims that the gun was planned - the judge said finally the court observes based on its nearly 30 years on the bench
That an urban heroin dealer not in possession of a firearm
Would be an anomaly and that quote had a lot of people saying that judges bias was showing there's assuming something based off of cases
Of other people though people argued against that saying well
That's essentially historical data and after the verdict was announced people took to the streets in protest and as we've seen time and time again
It appeared that we had people peacefully protesting just trying to express their frustration and then violent people this is something police chief
O'Toole even hit on
traitors were peaceful
however after dark
Many agitators began to destroy property an assault police officer on Friday night
We saw hundreds of protesters gathering to shut down an interstate then when they were stopped by police
Some went to the house of Saint Louis mayor Lyta crusin their people broke two windows they threw red paint at the house from there
Someone else we're to smash windows tear down American flags in order to burn them we saw some throwing rocks and unidentified
liquids at officers
St.Louis police even tweeting out photos of
Projectiles being thrown at them including the caption rocks and water bottles thrown at officers throughout the day officers use great restraint that said it
Does appear the police responded with tear gas and pepper spray and ultimately the clashes that night ended with nine officers injured and 33 arrests
On Saturday, we saw a day filled with peaceful
Demonstrations hundreds of peaceful protesters that lasted throughout the day and by 9:00 p.m.
Protest organizers announced that they were ending for the day, but it appears that other people had other plans again
We saw people come out to destroy property and clash with police on Saturday seven people were arrested and on Sunday
We saw protests continued and once again. We saw it start off peaceful, and then the night devolved into violence st.
Louis police tweeting our photo is a
Confiscated weapons and protective gear release saying that officers were assaulted and attacked with chemicals police responded by using non-lethal force like rubber
Bullets pepper spray and all of this led to more than 80 arrests on Sunday
It was also criticism of police aside from the pepper spray in the rubber bullet
It's because video seems to show and journalists on the ground said the police start chanting who streets our streets this after making arrests
According to David Carson's and I spoke with a commander at the scene said he did not hear the chant
But said chant was not acceptable said he would deal with it with that said that's where we are right now so far today
We're seeing peaceful protesters taking to the street again, but does that also mean that we're going to see another night of violence?
That's right. Now. I just don't know this could be just the beginning or it could start to dwindle
I do want to ask you. What are your takeaways from all of that dashcam footage?
Do you feel like Stockley should have been found guilty or no he was defending himself?
Do you think about the allegations that he planted a gun the audio where it sounds like he says he's going to kill this motherfucker
Do you think that obviously shows in tenryu of the mindset of people that have argued that's something?
He said just in the heat of the moment love knew your thoughts on this story the first one anything in between in those comments
