Sup you beautiful bastards!
Hope you're having a fantastic Tuesday. Welcome back
to the Phillip DeFranco show and let's just jump into it
And the first thing we're gonna talk about today are the updates around a crazy story
that we covered last year specifically I'm talking about
the crazy kidnapping and extortion story with British model
Chloe Ayling. At the time it was reported that
Ayling traveled to Milan in July of 27th to take part in a photo shoot
It was reportedly arranged by her agent and when she
arrived on the location and then she was attacked by two masked men
and injected with ketamine which knocked her out.
She was then bound, gagged, and put inside of a duffle bag.
She was transported to a farmhouse.
And there she was handcuffed to the furniture for at least the first night.
She said captures claimed to be part of an organisation called
the 'Black Death group'.
saying they threatened to sell her on the deep web if
her agent failed to pay a ransom of 300,000 dollars
the man also reportedly took compromising photos of her
while she was unconscious
and then posted those to auction her off
but then she said one of those kidnappers
confessed to her that they made a mistake in kidnapping her after seeing pictures of her son on instagram
saying that with her being a mother of a young child
that that went against the group's rules
and on that note, the group reportly had rules against selling those
who are terminally ill, pregnant, young mother, or have STDs
and after six days, one of her adbuctors
a 30 year old Polish guy by the name of Lukcasz Powell Herba
released Ayling at the Milan consulate. There he was arrested and his initial statement to the police
he said he did so out of sympathy for her role as a mother
but if you remembered the story after it broke
there were question from critics who claimed that the details didn't add up
others said that the Ayling's behavior on televised interviews also seem odd
details then emerged that Ayling had actually gone shopping for shoes with Herba during the kidnapping
so doubt in her story increase
and in fact Herba claimed through out the trial
that the kidnapping was all staged
he said that he previously met Ayling that he had fallen in love with her
saying he wanted to help her to overcome the financial difficulty she faced after the birth of her son
saying together that they concocted this plan that would help create publicity and advance her modeling career
also saying that he didnt tell the police that Ayling was in on this scheme during his initial statements
because he believed she will come forward herself and defend him
however Ayling has consistently denied having any part in her kidnapping
she did end up acknowledging that her failure to tell investigators initially that she
had accompanied Herba to the store damaged her credibility but she said
she'd been completely terrified during that trip telling investigators she
never tried to escape even went out in public with him because she believed his
threats that he was part of a bigger criminal gang that had eyes on her constantly
adding that even if she managed to escape she was convinced she
would be captured again and potentially face severe consequences
and on that note, Herba eventually testified that he lied about the black death group and
said that it was brother who helped him with the kidnapping he
also admitted to building a website where women were advertised to the highest
bidder and describing himself as a killer for hire would work for the FBI
CIA and mossad but he also said that he only made these claims up to draw
attention to the site to bring greater notoriety to the stunt, but the prosecutor
pointed out and argued that a lot of that really didn't add up
the prosecutor pointing out that Herba had bought two ski masks to use in the
kidnapping which paling said she saw the kidnappers wearing also on that know you
had people asking why would you even have those masks since obviously if she
was in on it she would know who was doing it also pointing out that Herba
had sent a note to his brother instructing him to scrub the boot of the
car to make sure there was no traces of DNA or strands of hair also on the other
side of things during closing arguments Herba's lawyer tried to prove that the
kidnapping was a hoax by citing an email it was from a US film producer who pointed
out that Ayling's story closely matched the plot of a movie titled "By Any Means"
and it was released about eight weeks before the 2017 kidnapping but
Ayling's attorney dismissed that argument saying there have been films made about
every crime in the world and ultimately Herba's explanation was rejected by
judges in Milan and he was found guilty of kidnapping and extortion and with
that he was sentenced to 16 years and nine months in prison while this is a
massive update to this story it's not the end of it. Ayling's lawyer has said
that he plans on seeking five hundred ninety thousand dollars in compensation
for Ayling although he has admitted that it's unlikely Herba would be able to
pay additionally has said that Ayling is considering possible civil action and
British courts against the media and specifically the media that accused her
of lying about being a victim to become famous and also as far as the brother
who allegedly helped in this crime Michael Herba reportedly he's in the
process of being extradited from the UK and denies any involvement in the
kidnapping we'll have to wait and see what happens there but I definitely I
definitely wanted to include an update to one of the crazier stories we talked

Then it's time for one of our oldest, the tried and true segment of
don't be stupid stupid and today's contestant is 62 year old Leimome Cheeks
she's a grandmother that was filmed by a concerned citizen and we'll set the mood
for this video Cheeks was in Memphis Tennessee driving around on a 95 degree
day with and we only learned about this thanks to video recorded by a concerned
citizen her seven and eight year old grandchildren in dog kennels in the back
of the car very same day this video was taken and caught traction she was
identified and then arrested by Memphis police Cheeks was interviewed and
admitted to riding from White Haven to Collierville with the children in the
kennel the report also noting the temperature reached 95 degrees and there
were no vents in the rear of the Ford Explorer and based off of Google Maps if
that was the only travel that means the kids would have been in there for more
than half an hour as far as her reason for putting the
children in the dog cage she told police there was no room inside the vehicle
earlier in the day so she told the children to get inside the kennel cheeks
also later adding that they also drove downtown but that she did check on the
children periodically and then later remove them from the kennel and put them
in rear seats of her vehicle as you may have figured out by now those are not
good reasons and so Cheeks was charged with two counts of child endangerment
and in addition to the criminal charges the Tennessee Department of Child
Services is also conducting an investigation into this incident of
course my response to this is in the name of the segment
don't be stupid stupid you have these little lives in your hand and the
situation while ridiculous is also still serious according to the safety
organization kids in cars an average of 37 children die every
year from being locked in hot cars and these incidents usually involve when
parents forget that the child was in the car or they believe that the child can be
in the car for a short time while they run an errand the situation with Cheeks'
grandchildren is even more concerning to me this because they were put into an
even more unnecessary situation where there was no ventilation and reportedly
the children were complaining that it was way too hot but that's where I'm
gonna leave that one then of course let's talk about the summit in Singapore
Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un meeting one another it's of course been long
awaited cancelled then uncancelled it feels like we are just miles away from
fire and fury and Rocketman comments and it finally happened they met one another
they shook hands the summit meetings included a one-on-one between Trump Kim
and interpreters afterwards there were expanded meetings with other ministers
they also had lunch together and before going into the one-on-one you could kind
of see the general feel of this summit based off of the first comments from
Trump and Kim
at the conclusion of the summit after all of the meetings President Trump and
Kim Jong-un signed a joint statement a joint statement an agreement that they
called historic the agreement saying that Kim commits to complete
denuclearization and Trump commits to security guarantees additionally the
document states that there are also four other major terms that the two leaders
plan to achieve committing to establish new U.S. DPRK relations that there will
be a joint effort to build a lasting and stable peace regime on the Korean
Peninsula the DPRK commits to work toward complete denuclearization of the
Korean Peninsula and that the two commit to recovering POWs / m.i.a remains
including the immediate repatriation of those already identified and the
conclusion of the agreement states that Pompeo and other relevant high-level
officials of North Korea will meet at the earliest possible date to implement
the outcomes of the U.S. DPRK summit now as has been pointed out the agreement
signed by the two was very limited in scope and i mainly covered a commitment
to denuclearization and a desire for peace however in their private meeting
the two apparently agreed to some things that were outside of what was written
one of the big things Trump announced is that for the time being the joint
us-south Korea War Games will be canceled and as far as why Trump said
this, "we will be stopping the war games which will save us a tremendous amount of
money unless and until we see that the future negotiation is not going along
like it should but we'll be saving a tremendous amount of money plus I think it's very provocative"
and following this many people wondered well what is the
u.s. getting a return for canceling the war game and on this note Trump pointed
out that we've had those three hostages released that the North has actually
additionally they've also stopped all missile and nuke tests for many months
now with this announcement from Trump there was also a ton of confusion both
the US forces based in Korea and the Republic of Korea counterparts have
mentioned that they haven't received any official notice about the wargames being
canceled but also it's important to acknowledge that this is a decision that
seemingly was just made and things are not done instantly additionally there
were also rumors that US troops could be leaving Korea
on that note Donald Trump made it clear during the press conference that he has
no plans removing troops from Korea as of right now we also had Donald Trump
consistently being asked about human rights violations here Donald Trump
tried to reassure people that it was the second most talked about thing outside
of denuclearisation, here Trump beeing asked how could he work with a regime
that killed Otto Warmbier two that Donald Trump credited Warmbier as the
catalyst that let this all be possible and that his death wasn't
in vain Trump was also asked if he felt he was betraying the 100000 people kept
in North Korean gulags by legitimizing North Korea to that he said this: "No I
think I've helped them because I think things will change I think I've helped
them, there is nothing i can say. All i can do is do what i can do
there has also been criticism of Trump of how much he has been praising Kim Jong-un because he has
aknowledged the bodycount, the gulags, the human rights issues, hence
having back-and-forths like this one "he is a rough guy he has to be a rough guy or he
has been a rough person but we got along very well he's smart loves his people he
loves his country he wants a lot of good things and that's why he's doing this
but he starved them he's been brutal to them he still loves his people look he's
doing what he's seen done I mean if you look at it but I really have to go by
today and by yesterday and by a couple of weeks ago because that's really when
this whole things started, what do you want to say directly to the citizens of
North Korea well I think you have somebody that has a great feeling for
them he wants to do right by them and we got along really well we had a great
chemistry you understand how I feel about chemistry" And with things like
that coming from Donald Trump what we're kind of getting two responses you have
one side saying this is all part of Donald Trump negotiating, he is praising
it is all about respect it's all about Kim Jong-un feeling good and that's how we
get the situation with North Korea and in a much better place on the other side
you have people saying that this is horrifying that it is legitimizing Kim
Jong-un a violent dictator who starves and tortures his people based off of
eyewitness accounts from people that were able to escape North Korea it
sounds like it is mainly a country of prisoners also looking internationally
the reactions worldwide was interesting most were positive this including South Korea
Japan and China. you have Russia warning that the devil is in the details
of the agreement. You've got Iran having a negative reaction warning North Korea to
not trust Donald Trump since Donald Trump of course just pulled out of the
Iran deal as far as what happens next Donald Trump has said Bolton and Pompeyo
will get together to figure out how to move forward also something that Donald
Trump has hit on several times now is that this will take time but obviously
the goal is to do this as fast as possible but that there is a long road
ahead but with all of that said I do want to pass the question off to you
what are your thoughts around this situation do you think this is fantastic
this is a massive win or no you think it's going to fail the United States is
already giving up something in return for nothing goes, you also have others arguing
that he really didn't give up anything since the cancellation is contingent on
the conversation continuing any and all opinions I'd love to see them in the
comments down below personally I am very hopeful but also
extremely extremely skeptical I mean it's North Korea that we're talking
about it and we can have all the speeches in the world saying you know we
start the new history today but you still have to look at history and go
like okay it gives you a cause for concern and gives you extreme depth even
President Trump seems to be kind of prepared for this to fail as a way he
explained in a very Donald Trump way "honestly I think he's gonna do these
things I may be wrong I mean I may stand before you in six months and say hey I
was wrong I don't know that I'll ever admit that but I'll find us I'll find
some kind of an excuse" that's where I'm going to end today's show and remember
if you liked this video hit that like button if you hated this video still hit
that like button I'll know it was sarcastic and it will hurt my feelings
