Sup you beautiful bastards
Hope ya havin' a fantastic Wednesday
Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco Show
And let's just jump into it.
And the first thing I wanna talk about today
is what appears to be our now new segment,
DAILY AIRLINE NEWS!
And today it wasn't about someone getting kicked off a flight.
It wasn't security beating and dragging a man through the isles.
Instead, NO, it goes back to the good ole days.
Where the only kinda airlines news we got
were passengers fighting passengers.
This time coming from Burbank, California
It was a southwest flight coming from Dallas.
The plane was taxing a passenger said he heard a commotion
And he whipped out his cell phone and this happened.
[Inaudible audio]
[Woman yelling, "What is wrong with you? Get off!"]
["Stop it!"]
[More screaming and fight]
So as of right now, we don't know why they were fighting.
we do know that one man was allowed to continue on his way
the other was arrested for misdemeanor battery
ah, but two questions I have
One, Why fight when you're getting off the plane?
And two, What was the guy in the blue shirt doing?
He looked like he was trying to stop the fight,
but doing it by tapping him on the shoulder.
Like, "Sir"
"Could you please stop pummeling that man?"
"What if I give you a little shoulder rub?"
And that's not me trying to act macho like,
I would have stopped that fight no problem.
No. I think most of us at one point have seen a fight take place
someone tries to stop it and it's that person who gets knocked out.
I'm not jumping into the middle of that, but
it looked like Blue Shirt did the fighting equivalent
of when a group of people are lifting a piece of furniture
And they're not really lifting.
They just have their hands there, like "I'm doing my part"
But the main point of the story is,
Who knew that something like this could happen on a SouthWest flight?
Then in Quicky News that's going to make a few relationships a little more awkward now.
a new research paper has come out
and the scientists involved say that if you're
stung by a jelly fish, NO YOU SHOULD NOT PEE ON IT.
The sting. Not the jelly fish.
Or actually. Maybe for emotional morale reasons pee on the jelly fish.
As long as it's not like a sex thing.
I don't know your state laws!
Stay on track, Defranco!
The report says, best case senario,
It can cause massive stinging
What they actually recommend you do,
If you're going to the beach, bring vinegar with you.
Douse the area with vinegar, pull out the tentacles with tweezers.
And apply heat.
And of course, optional step number 4:
Pee on the jelly fish to show your dominance.
They ya go. You learned a life lesson which statistically
with how many peole watch this show,
would be helpful for several of you.
Although if we're being honest, the way it most likely will effect you
is you're gonna get stung by a jelly fish, and you're gonna be like,
"Oh wait! I didn't bring vinegar to the beach because I wasn't feelin' like a beach salad"
"But also, let's avoid that weird moment when you pee on my leg."
So there's that.
Then, in pointless celebrity news
that is blowing up, but I'm gonna talk about it
cause it is hilarious to me.
Chad Moss, or as you might know him if you're old
enough to remember TRI with Carson Daly.
Lil' BowWow.
He's in the news today because it looks like he got exposed for being a faker.
And then someone snapchatted Lil BowWow on their flight.
What!? A guy that has 3.2 million Twitter followers
but somehow only get's 10-40 re-tweets on each post
is faking? I am shocked!
And then the Internet did two things, that it does best.
The first being that the researched and found where this picture was from.
From a VIP transportation website, the only difference is that it doesn't have a filter on it.
And secondly, what felt like almost the entirety of the internet
Proceeded to make fun of Lil' BowWow.
Even launching the #BowWowChallenge
Where people just show off their life being awesome
even though it's very obviously fake.
And I share this story because, yes, I do love when fakers get caught.
but also use this as a reminder that when you look at something online
you're not seeing real life. You're not seeing the painter or their real life.
You're seeing their painting.
Sometimes it's exaggerated and other times it's just an outright lie,
and it's important to remember that.
But from there, I wanna share some stuff I love today

It's as simple as that!
Then one of my favorite consistent series on YouTube, Honest Trailers came out with
shiffff
sherr... Wow
Shifty Fades Darker
Fifty Shades Darker
I love how they rip apart good and bad movies.
Then we have a brand new trailer for Cars 3, and I am not ashamed.
I am excited for this movie
Having a child made me appreciate Pixar movies on a whole different level.
Little guy's entertained for 90 mins, I'm laughin'. Also it's Pixar.
I'm cryin'.
Granted, I judge my son a little cause his favorite character is Mater.
To each their own.
Then we have the Slow Mo Guys in 4K jumping into a
trampoline filled
trampoline filled with a whole lotta mouse traps.
And I say a whole lotta because the title says 1000
but people with way too much time on their hands counted them all.
and said that it's 823.
but the main point, The Slow Mo Guys and Gavin Free are liars!
They're fake news.. and I'm joking.
It's a cool video.
Then in awesome for those of you who love the daily show
with Jon Stewart
They had a big reunion!
Colbert got a bunch of the old crew to come on the late show.
And if you were a fan you're gonna love it.
And if you wanna see the full versions of 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 James Comey
The FBI director, or I guess now the FORMER FBI director.
being fired by President Donald Drumpf.
And before we jump into this, I was shocked by this news.
Not the fact that it happened, but the timing of it.
After election night, everyone knew that Donald Drumpf was going to be the president
I figured one of the first things that Drumpf was going to do was fire Comey.
So now for me it's the timing that's suprising
but we'll jump into that in a minute.
While I was suprised by this news, the person who was
probably most shocked by this news was James Comey himself.
Reports came out that James Comey found out he was
being fired, while he was giving a speech
in the L.A. FBI office
because there were T.V.'s on in the background that were reporting it as news.
That's how he found out.
The report also says that when he saw it.
Now as far as why FBI director Comey was fired
Let's first look at what Donald Drumpf said.
In Drumpf's letter to Comey he wrote,
Now to me there are two things of note there,
The first I'll touch is the second paragraph.
The, "I greatly appreciate that on 3 separate occasions you said I was innocent."
I'm paraphrasing but that's the sense you get from it.
It's like if you had a girlfriend and you're a little bitch so you break up with her in a letter.
Dear Lesley, While I greatly appreciate that you said that I'm
very faithful, I'm the best lover you've ever had,
and I have the largest penis you've ever seen on multiple occasions.
I nevertheless concur with the judgment of my friends Jeff and Robby that
You're a big bitch and we just can't have you in the friend group.
The entire time, people are gonna be like, Why is he..
why is he.. why is he mentioning the size of his penis in this?
It's something about the inclusion that makes me think he doesn't have a large penis.
It's just weird.
Then the second thing of note to me comes from the first paragraph of Donald Drumpf's Letter.
Where he says, I'm doing this because it was recommended by the attorney general
and the deputy attorney general.
So then we look at the letters sent from the attorney general, Jeff Sessions to Donald Drumpf
So he kind of says something but it's but its not specific,
and so then we go to the deputy attorney general.
So then we look at Deputy attorney general Rosenstein's letter to the attorney general, Jeff Sessions.
And it appears that the biggest reason for the recommendation to remove James Comey was
how he handled the Hilary Clinton email scandal.
Rosenstein writing,
This referencing Comey's letter to congress where they said, "we found more emails
she was connected to Anthony Weiner"
It may have been Hilary's ultimate undoing
And even though a few days later Director Comey said the FBI has now changed its conclusion.
There was still a noticeable shift in the polls thats why before the election I said this,
And this appears to be one of the biggest reasons why many of the battleground states are as close as they are now.
One day our children may look back into a history book and see
October 28, 2016 is they day the FBI delivered the election to Donald J. Drumpf
So to oversimplify Drumpf said I appreciate you saying that you're not investigating me 3 times,
But my AG and my DAG, they reccomend to get rid of you.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions says I agree with my DAG
And the Deputy Attorney General cites how the Hilary Clinton email situation was handled.
Now once again at this point I'll say I'm not surprised that he was fired,
but I am surprised that it happened now.
Because if it happened in the beginning or right after Jeff Sessions was made Attorney General,
then okay, then they had a game plan.
But now because of the timing you have a lot of people concerned
because the Director of the FBI, an organization that was looking into the Russian ties in this last election,
looking into potential Russian hacking, Russian manipulation, Russian ties,
to maybe not Donald Drumpf but people who now work for Donald Drumpf
And so the man who was the head of this organization,
that was pushing forward into this investigation was fired based off of the recommendation,
from the Attorney General who is a man who also had to recuse himself in matters of Russian inquiry.
As an outsider looking in that looks SO sketchy
And I say that as someone that said yes I think Micheal Flynn 100% did wrong
But also as someone that gave Jeff Sessions the benefit of the doubt,
When all those Democrats were saying he lied under oath
I noted that, that could have been a grey area because he said he didn't work with the Russians.
And then people said, "look he had a meeting with a Russian!"
But he said he wasn't referring to that because it was non-Drumpf related.
That he had that meeting because of a role he had on a committee.
It is still sketchy to me.
And all of this is reportedly happening the same time that we're seeing headlines like,
And the reports were saying that these subpoenas were issued before
all of a sudden James Comey was suddenly fired.
Once again that's my personal take away.
So this whole story blows up yesterday, there are a lot of people that are shocked that this is happening,
there are a lot of people cheering saying, "ya drain the swamp."
And then in the early hours of the morning,
President Donald Drumpf took to twitter to say a few things.
And the first thing I'll say to Drumpf's claim that the Democrats wanted to get rid of Comey, is yes
Nancy Pelosi said maybe he's not in the right job.
I think he made a mistake on this and he clearly has a double standard
when it comes to Donald Drumpf
Democrat Steve Cohen saying:
Representative Maxine Waters, "the FBI Director has no credibility"
All I can tell you is the FBI director has no credibility.
And even Chuck Schumer said,
Even senator Harry Reid saying he should resign
Interviewer: Do you belive that James Comey should resign Senator Reid?
Reid: of course, yes but he won't.
He has a term there and I'm sure he's got the new administration, they, they like, they should like him. He helped them get elected.
But what I say to that is while some of them may still be hypocrites,
Or at very least they've now flip-flopped.
The situation now is far different, what's interesting with the situation with Comey,
is so many people believed that he is partisan, but for one way or the other
but his actions have actually hurt Democrats and Republicans.
Before the election there were a lot of Drumpf supporters that bash Comey because they said he was protecting her.
But then you also had a lot of Hilary supporters bashing Comey because he kept talking about these emails.
The press conferences, the extra letter to congress.
And now separate from that, post-election he's talking about Russian involvement in the election.
So do I think partisan politics affected what James Comey did? No I don't.
Do I think that there was a reasonable argument to fire James Comey? Yes.
But do I think that Donald Drumpf praising Comey for some of his actions pre-election,
and now post-election when he's the President,
and James Comey is looking into the Russia stuff after several months NOW is the time he fires Comey
Is that sketchy? Yes.
And for me personally I'm just fascinated to see what happens
Who's going to be presented as Comey's replacement? That should be very telling about this administration.
Also, we're seeing Democrats and even some Republicans calling for an independent investigator,
into Russian scandal.
And fantastically awkward enough, Donald Drumpf met with Russian ambassador Kislyak today.
And we got the pictures of it because the Russian Foreign Ministry posted them.
And for those who haven't been following this Russian investigation,
Kislyak is at the center of it with Michael Flynn and others.
Also Russian Foreign Minister had people squinting at his reaction to a Comey question.
So that's where we are right now.
And of course this is the Philip Defranco Show, it's not just a show it's a conversation.
Show me the story, I've given my opinion, I want to know yours now.
