Sup you beautiful bastards!
Hope you're having a fantastic
Tuesday. Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show and let's just jump into it.
And the first thing we have to talk about today is
This horrifying situation coming out of Perris, California. So early Sunday morning
A 17 year old girl in Perris, California
Calls police claiming she escaped a home where she's being held against her will. She reportedly called on a cellphone
She found in the home.
She said her other siblings were still being held inside. So deputies respond to the call, they enter the home
And they find the teenager's twelve other
Siblings. Initially they thought all 12 were children but they later discovered that seven of them were actually
Adults. The victims reportedly so malnourished and dirty they just appeared younger. In fact the deputies thought that that seventeen-year-old that escaped,
reported all of this, they thought she was ten. And in total the 13 victims ranged from the age two to
29 and how they were found is both infuriating and heartbreaking.
The Riverside County Sheriff's Department issued a statement saying ,"further
investigation revealed several children shackled to their beds with chains and padlocks in dark and foul-smelling
surroundings, but the parents were unable to immediately provide a logical reason why their children were restrained in that manner."
Which I will say: the first part of that statement, shocking, the second part confusing,
as if there was a logical explanation why you would shackle a child to a bed.
Also, yes as you may have already figured out by now
they were being held like this by their parents.
These two, David Allen Turpin and Louise Ann[a] Turpin. These two pieces of garbage have been arrested.
They're currently in jail with their bail set at nine million dollars.
They're being charged with nine felony counts of torture, ten felony counts of child endangerment.
As far as the victims reportedly they were being interviewed by Child Protective Services and Adult Protective
Services. According the police the victims all claim to be starving. They were provided food and beverages.
They're being admitted to different hospitals for medical examinations and treatment. As of recording this video
We don't have more information as far as their condition now. And of course the situation brings up the question:
How did this happen and no one knew? And so of course, people have been diving into their past and so there are been reports
On who their former employers were,
their previous bankruptcies, their previous residences.
Also at this point
It's unclear at what point or how long these parents have chosen to isolate their family. There are pictures from
2011-2012 showing them on trips to Disneyland. The last photos uploaded to their page show the family at a vow renewal in
2016. We also learned that the family is reportedly deeply religious, but reportedly the family didn't belong to a church in the area.
Also as you've probably noticed from the picture, they're all matching. They reportedly did that for "protective reasons". We also learned,
Thanks to California records that the father had received state approval run a private school from his home. That school had six students
He was listed as the principal. And ultimately that is where we are right now. There--there are also those reports that you see in every
Instance like this where the neighbors are like they seem normal
Maybe kind of weird. Not lock your 13 children in your home weird, but you know, weird. And ultimately what I end up hoping is one,
since it's not technically legal to throw people in a fire as a proper punishment, hopefully these two disgusting individuals are prosecuted to the
fullest extent of the law.
And two, I hope and fear for the 13 victims. Youngest ones are the only ones that really have any chance at
A sense of normalcy in life. I mean just
Think about one of the victims, one of the kids was 29 years old. They--they've lived their--the--
29 years, almost three decades, under these crazy people. I just fear, and I hope from them, but of course
This is the Philip DeFranco Show. I want to know, what is your takeaway from this story?
What do you think and what is the proper punishment?
Let me know in those comments down below. Then let's talk about another false alarm. Of course yesterday
We covered the false alarm in Hawaii about an incoming ICBM, and I guess Japan who wanted to join the party. At 6:55 p.m.
Local time Japanese national broadcaster NHK issued the following notification to their users: "NHK news alert
North Korea likely to have launched missile evacuate inside the building or underground." Now it is important to know that this situation is
Different than the one we saw in Hawaii. One, North Korea has actually in the past few months fired a missile over Japan. Unlike
Hawaii it wasn't the government issuing this announcement. It was a news agency. And finally unlike, Hawaii
They didn't retract this after 38 minutes
NHK ended up issuing a correction in five minutes saying, "the news alert sent out earlier about North Korea missile was a mistake
No government J alert was issued." Later adding, "NHK is
Apologizing after issuing a false alert that said North Korea had probably launched a missile and warned people in Japan to take cover." NHK
says, "a switching error is to blame" And they then did not elaborate on switching problem.
So I will say I kind of want to give NHK props for responding and correcting the situation over seven times faster than Hawaii.
But also two, is this gonna be a new problem now?
Like was this situation similar to Hawaii
In that they were like let's test the system out and the test button the and real button were--went right next to
Each other? Or did someone over at NHK go like oh my god that's a missile! Oh wait. That's just--it's a smu--
It's a smudge. No. It's a smudge. Why did you hit the button? They're gone.
I'll text them. This feels like it's the ultimate uh, sorry just a prank bro. But from that I want to share some stuff

We also got a Life Noggin video on why is it so hard fall asleep?
And if you want to see the full versions everything I just shared, the secret link of the day, anything at all
Links as always are in the description down below. And then let's talk about this craziness coming out of Canada. Last Friday
There was a report. Khawlah Noman, She's a little 11 year old girl, she's Muslim.
She reportedly gets attacked by a man with scissors
Who's trying to cut off her hijab.
And here she is detailing the crime to the media . -This morning me and my brother were walking together to school and
sadly, uh, someone, um,
Insulted me by cutting my hijab
Uh, two times. I felt a man, and I turned around and I saw him with his scissors and
He ran away. Me and my brother noticed, and then we both walked to school together
And we told, uh, my principal. We, um, followed this crowd of people to be safe. He came again.
He continued cutting my hijab again. All that he ha--had to do was smile.
He just smiled and ran away. -And following this interview things just take off. One
You have the police investigating. They're saying they're investigating this incident as a hate crime.
And two this story blows up on social media and almost immediately becomes an international
Story. There are headlines about this story everywhere, drew public condemnation from very important public figures.
You have the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, speaking out about this. -My heart goes out to the, uh, young girl who was, uh, attacked
Seemingly for her religion. Um, I can't imagine how afraid she must have been.
I want her and her family and her friends and community to know
That that is not what Canada is and that is who Canadians are -(Phil) Ontario Premier, Kathleen Wynne, tweeting
"This is a cowardly act of hatred, and has no place in
Ontario. This does not represent who we are. We must stand firm in our
Support of this young girl who was assaulted simply for wearing
a hijab." And then, following the weekend, things
drastically change. Police made a stunning announcement
saying "after a detailed investigation police have determined that the events described in the original news release did not happen the
Investigation is concluded."
After that news broke the Toronto District School Board released a statement saying, "we are very thankful this assault did not in fact happen we
Won't be commenting further."
Justin Trudeau's office releasing a statement saying, "we would direct all the questions on the investigation to the Toronto Police Service
We are thankful and relieved that this incident did not take place" And there is seemingly no other explanation or insight into what actually
Happened. And it doesn't really look like we're going to get answers.
Did she just decide to lie? Was it based in any reality like there was a creepy guy
And so then she made up this whole other story?
Was it a planned hoax? Was it just for attention? Did the mother know, the mother's speaking at that press conference?
How did it get this far? And people have been blaming everyone, people criticizing the girl, the family, some also criticizing the school,
Criticizing police. This is because they spread the story so quickly without properly
Investigating. And of course following this incident people are worried about the fallout. A false claim about a hate crime has an impact past that
initial situation.
Their fear is that victims of actual hate crimes will be far less likely to come forward. This because fake claims like the one we're
Talking about today make it less likely they're going to be believed.
And so with all of that said I want to pass the question off to you, what--
What is your take away from this story? I mean just personally I'm confused as to why the police aren't releasing more information.
I think it's incredibly important to know if the mother knew at any time, did she find out and then she told the police?
Did the little girl or her brother finally confessed to this being fake?
Or was it because of cameras they realized this never happened? All that seems to matter, yet they're going well
It-it's fake, case closed, nevermind, let's move on. It just seems odd
Are they trying to protect the family even though a crime was committed, but it was an 11 year old girl?
Yeah, I just love to know your thoughts on this one. And then
Let's talk about this Nina Agdal situation. Nina, if you don't know, is a very popular model.
She's been in Maxim, Sports Illustrated, one she was Rookie of the Year. She's modeled for Billabong, 1.7
Million followers on Instagram and she's part of a story today that has to do with fat shaming. And as you might not expect
given that she is her she's not the one fat shaming. She made an international headlines because
Reportedly she was being fat shamed. On her Instagram she posted this photo with the caption, "Today
I'm disappointed and appalled at the still very harsh reality of this industry." She says her "agent and received an unapologetic
Email concluding that [Venice
Fort Lauderdale magazine] would not run her cover story
Saying 'it did not reflect well on my talent'...
'it did not fit their market.'" Adding, "the publisher claimed my look deviated from my
Portfolio and that I did not fit in to the sample size samples,
Which is completely false if anyone has any interest in me. They know I am NOT an average model body
I have an athletic build and healthy curves. After a tough year of taking a step back from the insensitive and unrealistic pressures of this
Industry and dealing with paralyzing social anxiety, I walked into that shoot as a 25 year old WOMAN feeling more comfortable in my own skin
And healthier than ever before. Some days I'm a sample size, some days
I'm a size 4 ,some a 6." And she continues, "shame on you, and thank you to the publisher for reaffirming
How important it is to live your truth and say it out loud no matter who you are
Or what size" And following this gaining traction she did an interview with Megyn Kelly.
And there Kelly read a statement from the magazine saying, "we think Nina Agdal is a beautiful and extremely talented
Model. That is why she was the focus of a 10 page story published in our winter issue." As far as why she wasn't on
The cover they said, It had nothing to do with how Ms. Abdal looks and a bathing suit-- her physique is enviable by any
Criteria. We wished to use an image from that shoot for our digital cover (the cover promoted on our website)
But her agent declined." So a very standard defense it's not about her looks
But unfortunately for the magazine there was also initial
Correspondence when they decided not to give her this cover where in a letter they sent to Agdal's
Agent read, "we would love to revisit the possibility of a printed cover when she is back in top shape."
And just them seemingly lying about this it does feel like they realize
They're on the wrong here. And something that was interesting,
Following this interview some people were saying that Megan Kelly is probably not the best person to speak on this topic, and the reason for
That is she actually had a fat shaming controversy last week. Last week when speaking Maria Kang, a fitness trainer
Kelly was quoted as saying, "you should parlay the shaming thing into a professional business because some of us want to be shamed. When I
Was in law school, I was gaining weight,
I said to my stepfather, if you see me going into that kitchen one more time you say,
'Where are you going fat ass?'
And it works!" She also later clarified those comments talking about her personal
Experience saying that her family is, or at one point, has all been obese. And when she was younger
She was also a large child.
She was constantly bullied over it so she tried so many different ways to try and motivate herself to lose weight.
Adding she's gotten healthier to her approach to eating now that she's an adult.
But also what I would say is there--there's a difference with--with you saying hey
Call me a fatty so I have a negative feeling so maybe I don't do something, and the genuine bullying and hatred thrown towards people every
Single day, whether in person or online. Right? There's a difference if I ask my wife. Hey, baby
Just if--if I go for a doughnut. Call me a fat ass and some random person on the internet
That's like nice face you fat pig. Right?
There's just a difference there the second of the two is a garbage person the first, it's-it's a weird negative motivation thing.
But I did want to pass the question off to you. Just in general, what do you think about fat shaming, then also
What do you think about Nina's situation? Is her's
Different because she lives in a world where the industry is all superficial? Or no,
it's just the same or maybe even more important there because
Millions of people will look to that as maybe the norm? Which by the way you should never look to a magazine, a video, anything
and go like oh
That's the normal. It is not the case. And two where do you see the line for fat shaming versus body positivity?
I've talked about this on the show
90% of me loves the idea of body
Positivity of the whole movement. No one should be bullied for how they look, people should be comfortable in their own skin.
But at what point does it change into the promotion of an unhealthy
lifestyle? And obviously this question's not
Connected to Nina. If you--if you think Nina is--is it any way overweight you--you're stupid.
I just love to know your thoughts there.
