Sup Beautiful Bastards, hope you have a fantastic Monday
Welcome back to the Philip Defranco show and let's just jump into it
And the first thing we're gonna talk about today is a story that I hate that I'm even having to spend time on
because there is a lot to cover today
But it is important for me to kind of just throw this out there and then get past it
that said if you do not care about this story. Here's the time code to get past it
So this is in regards to the illinit a pewdiepie collab DRM situation that we covered Wednesday and Thursday because on Saturday
PewDiePie released a video where in that video he
gave his points but also at the same time there was a part where he featured clips from the Thursday show and
Called me a white knight and then many people saying that you know, Phil
why are you defending a Linnet making her out to be this poor ignorant victim who's just absolved of any and all public actions the
Thing is this isn't even necessarily a response to PewDiePie himself because after he posted that video we spoke privately
We're on the same page. She gets the points that I was trying to hit on. We're all great
We actually I mean if you actually look at the videos
We're very much on the same page
and I think that there was just a disconnect but very importantly a
Disconnect that was there with people before Felix even made that video understand when I say disconnect
I think that it's largely based off of my presentation. I'm not saying like all these people are beneath me
They don't get what I'm saying
Or the people saying this they're just they're haters know if I put out a piece of content into the world
I put my words out there into the world any large number of people they pull back completely different points
They pull back that I'm doing a completely different thing than what I thought. I was intending to do
I that I'm not hitting the points that I thought I was then that probably means I did a pretty fucking shitty job in hitting
My points and clarifying my points. That's just the way that it is looking back at that Thursday video
I think there are points that I could have hit on in a different way hit on harder gone back and really created some
separation as to what I was trying to talk about and also included some
Information that I didn't include in the Thursday video for a very specific
Reason that I'm going to let you in on right now and so one regarding the people saying Phil
Why are you defending illinit II on Thursday when you went really really in on all the horrible that she she put out there publicly
On Wednesday, my response to that is I'm not defending the things that she said there's a reason that we covered this on Wednesday
I'm not defending when she said can we strike pewdiepie?
I'm not defending when she continued to roll with the situation and said yeah
If you wanna want to post videos about me
Just make sure they're not mean you otherwise you're gonna get claimed when I referred a part of the story is an unfortunate situation
if at any point
she seems like a victim but I'm trying to get across as she is a victim of her own making she is a victim of
her own lies and false posturing
The only way this story got to where it got is because for two days
She had her freak out and then she just rolled with it saying that she was taking credit for all these things that I know
Without without a doubt because of other information that I have
She had nothing to do with a claim against Felix's video and nothing to do with that smaller video
so regarding to when people said Phil
I can't believe you just you did this interview all of a sudden you're just believing her lies
It's a piece of information that I hate even having to throw out there because it essentially kills video that I want to work on
But it also it gives people an explanation as to why I'm so sure
about something that a lot of people think that I'm just I'm just so gullible for illinit II told me that she never
contacted collab DRM before collab DRM confirmed that statement and said, you know
We as a company. We do these things without without being contacted or without reactions from the Creator before all of that
I had a completely different third source that gave me all of that same information and it is a very very very
reliable source and the reason I didn't include that source is because both ulema T and collab DRM
separately confirmed that story I try to make sure that I didn't raise any alarms over there not thinking that some people might assume that
collab DRM would publicly lie to
Take the heat off of one of their people and just kind of fall on their own source looking back at that situation
I now realize that including that third source would be a very important piece of information to include and three I think one of the
biggest disconnects from the video between myself
The message that I was trying to get out there and the people that watched it was that during the course of the Thursday video
I was trying to use clips from our recorded phone conversation and then after playing those clips
I was trying to consolidate much larger points that she kind of just talked on for several minutes
But I was trying to fit it for time. Is there during those moments watching back?
I can see why some people would just look at those clips and think that I was trying to defend her whereas I was trying
To explain her mindset as she explained it as far as why she did something so stupid for two days
There's a relaying and consolidation of information
her reasoning as she told me not a cosign and from that I pivot and say this, you know
This is really isn't a situation about one person
this is a situation about a company and that's what we need to focus on and I think a lot of people took that as
Me giving her a pass on everything
She had said all the threats she's thrown out there and so on that no, just so clear things up
I do believe that intent matters to a certain point
but ultimately
When you make a threat that you are going to claim people's content for for saying something that you don't like same as I said
Wednesday that is a horrible thing
I feel like I hit those points in the Wednesday video
but I also
Understand that content exists in a bubble and people could see this as a shifting of opinion especially and this is what really drove at
Home for me when we put out a video where she says, you know what she talked with me and that, you know
I totally cleared her name and that's where I really realized
there was a disconnect her intent saying those things on stream for two days doesn't take away the fact that she said those things and
That's what the internet is responding to because it's important understand. There are two different situations here
There's one what she said and two my main focus
My personal focus is on the giant company that has the manpower and resources to just wreak
Terror on the YouTube community and that's also something that Felix hit on at the end that for him
This is none outlier situation collided erm the company that did strike the channel. I'm more than familiar with them
They admitted afterwards that it was a human error, but it really wasn't this happens all the time
And so that statement and similar statements I've gone from other youtubers was the reason why I was focusing
So heavily on just collab DRM
It's hopefully that further explains that the points that I was trying to hit on
Clarifies the the main points and also clears up the confusion
Not only I think those that were confused the misunderstanding it falls on me
My my presentation of the story and I mean I'm a person that is hyper critical of my own content
It wasn't up to my usual quality and I went a hundred percent get why there was a disconnect
That's where I'm going to end that one but from that I want to share some stuff

See the full versions everything
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 our
Douchebag of the day so back in October of 2016
There was a fatal car crash in Boone County
Indiana that involved alcohol when authorities arrived they found one man lying on the ground next to the driver's side who ended up later dying
At the hospital and one man whose father had arrived and was taking care of him
That survivor was 20 year old Jack Henry Kaplan who told authorities that he and James Doppler age
21 had gone out to dinner and had an unknown quantity of beer
He says that after that he drove them to the store to buy snacks
But at that point he told Doug Leier that he was too drunk to drive and so his friend drove
But then they ended up crashing into a tree
Well if I'm talking about this
He most likely already know that something is that police have now arrested Kaplan for driving while intoxicated
And wrecking his car which killed his friend according to the Boone County
Fatal alcohol crash team investigators Kaplan removed his friend from the passenger seat and put him on the ground next to the driver's side doctors
Believe the crash knocked her unconscious and he never woke up and reportedly Kaplan sat in the passenger seat awaiting help and he never called
911 calling his dad his dad who by the way came out to the site of the crash before calling 911
Investigators estimated the two were alone at the crime scene for about 20 minutes and so emergency assistance didn't arrive until about an hour after
The crash occurred and investigators noted that Kaplan story fell apart pretty quick one. They reportedly have surveillance footage
It shows Kaplan pouring bourbon ended up lers mouth in the store that same surveillance footage also shows that Kaplan drove away not deaf
But I also found that only Kaplan's DNA was on the driver's seat while both of their DNA was on the passenger seat autopsy also
showed that the injuries doubler sustained were inconsistent with him being the driver and so now Kaplan faces all of
These charges main point that is why Jack Henry Kaplan is our douche bag of the day
I'm not sure fully what the lesson of this story is. I mean, I guess one don't drink and drive
That's just a constant. Don't be a douche bag
Not only are you putting yourself anyone else in the car?
But anyone else that's on the road in danger then and obviously this gets hyper specific
If you do not do that first thing when you accidentally kill your friend don't then also frame him for his own death
Although let's be honest if you're disregarding the advice to not drink and drive if this is even an option for you
You're probably not gonna listen to this advice now
Let's talk about the completely legitimate unwritten that we saw in Venezuela yesterday
And if you cannot sense the sarcasm, I don't know how to hit on it harder
It's been a few months since we last visited Venezuela and unfortunately things have gotten worse countries dealing with widespread malnutrition
It is not uncommon for families to have two small meals a day and these meals are almost entirely carb since fresh fruit and veggies
are expensive not to mention the
astronomical price of meat reportedly two pounds of meat roughly cost one month of pay for a minimum-wage work regarding the money situation according to
the IMF inflation is supposed to hit 13 that was in percent this year making the Bulevar their currency almost completely worthless and as whele
Has been cut off from most international financing
It's only real source of cash is oil production, which is plummeting exacerbating the inflation problem
But as far as the president of venezuela nicolas maduro, he blames the country's problem on an economic war waged by the United States
So most economists disagree they say that it's poor government management
Corruption and broken policies that are to blame as far as the people reportedly over a million
Venezuelans have fled to bordering countries like Colombia and Brazil some of fled even further to the United States, Argentina Chile
But also back in the country political unrest is widespread, but protesting is very dangerous
There have been harsh reprisals for protesters and the largest opposition
Parties have been de facto banned from office as far as the seat of the government
You might remember we talked about the government unconstitutionally removed the National Assembly from power last year and replaced it with a puppet Congress
They call it the Constituent Assembly but it's just made up of supporters of President Nicolas Maduro
So all of that brings us to yesterday's elections and there despite his unpopularity
The massive problems in the country Nicolas Maduro won another six years in office
He's also pointed out that he won with the largest percentage ever with 68% of the popular vote. Bots
That number really doesn't tell the whole story and the election is largely seen as rigged which is why I keep saying that he won
Well Maduro did win a large percentage of the votes. The total number of votes cast is far less than normal example Maduro
11.5 million last votes this year than in 2013 a voter turnout in Venezuela has historically been around
80% but this time it was around only
46% and the reason voter turnout was low is for a variety of reason first up the opposition largely
Boycotted the vote
the largest opposition party mud was barred from
Participating in many of the most popular opposition candidates were also banned from the election and that was only if they weren't already
Arrested for charges related to protesting the government another bait
How skewed the elections really were as if bamming
Opposition didn't make the election already easy enough to win Maduro also pulled a bunch of other stuff to ruin the chances others to run
successful campaign elections were
unconstitutionally called early by that Constituent Assembly I
Mentioned even though it's not their job to call elections the other campaigns of people who had not been jailed or barred only at 26
Days actually run a campaign three main candidates which also included Maduro signed an agreement of electoral guarantees
It was a redundant agreement since everything contained was already a law
But the agreement was supposed to secure fair election. The agreement had provisions like not using government resources to help in campaign. Guess what?
I got leaked the maduras party did just that they also agreed to remove red points from nearby voting areas
That was actually a big deal because red points are the areas of Venezuelans go to receive government food
The idea was that if you have these next two voting places, that was just a way for the government to remind
Venezuelans that they need Maduro guess what not only were the red points not
removed many were placed closer to voting stations reportedly many voters simply voted and then went straight to the red points leading to allegations that
the people were being coerced to vote for Maduro for food on top of that Maduro offered prizes to those who voted for him and
reported to the right point
Afterwards also because apparently all of that was not enough normally during the election indelible ink is used
so people can't vote twice many reports came in that that was ignored and once again on top of all of that you had people
Saying that they don't like Maduro
but they still voted for Maduro because they were worried of reprisal many people believing the government was monitoring who people were voting for and
Would act out based on those votes as far as the reaction of course Maduro was happy saying others
Underestimated the revolutionary people a Cohen in the opposition saying we do not recognize this electoral process as valid Senator Marco Rubio
here in the States saying the dictator Nicolas Maduro has not deceived anyone world has seen this farce and supports the people of Venezuela in
Their fight for the restoration of a democratic country vice president, Mike Pence
Also tweeting Venezuela's election was a sham adding that Trump has taken strong action on Venezuela, and there's more to come
US will not sit idly by as Venezuela crumbles that reaction is completely what you'd expect because the United States even before the elections took
Place condemned the saying that they were going to be unfair
Undemocratic threatening harsher sanctions. We've also seen grupo
Lima a huge coalition of Latin American countries all deciding that they're going to reduce their diplomatic relations with Venezuela over this election
But ultimately at the end of the day the situation that we're looking at is in Venezuela
It looks like six more years of Maduro
although even calling it six more years is
Ridiculous heystop of what we've seen Maduro and his government publicly based off of what we've learned about the behind-the-scenes
It's hard to look at Maduro as anything other than a dictator more importantly a dictator that appears to be completely
Content with driving his country further into the ground just so he can stay in power
But ultimately that's where we are right now and I'll be very interesting to see what happens from here other than harsher sanctions
are we going to see more countries get involved personally or by arming ultimately we'll have to wait and see that is unfortunately where we're
Going to end today's show. There was a lot more that I wanted
I think that we need to talk about including the shooting in Santa Fe
What's happening with Trump? The DOJ the FBI? There are six other things that I want to talk about today
Do not worry that and so much more will be covered this week
I that's just with certain stories that they are deserving a lot of a lot more time
I don't want to rush it and just jam things in because that that's where we get confusion
Like the first thing that I had to talk about today, but that's that this is still the philip defranco show
Those are the stories sometimes my opinion and now I want to hear from you whether it be the last thing the first thing
Anything in between let me know your thoughts today in those comments down below that said, of course as always, my name is philip
Defranco you've just been phill'd in. I love yo faces and i'll see you tomorrow
