'Sup you beautiful bastards!
Hope you're having a fantastic Thursday
Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show and let's just jump into it
And the first thing I want to talk about today is the now cancelled Ann Coulter Berkley speech
Berkley's been in the news over free speech debate a lot I would say it started probably back in February when
Milo Yiannopoulos had to cancel his speech
You might remember when Milo Yiannopoulous was set to speak what started out as a protest turned into
people bashing in windows
we saw people getting pepper sprayed and beat just because they had a different opinion
we saw a lot of so-called anti-fascists being what they say they are standing up against
You know, 'cause nothing says "I'm standing up to intolerance!" like pepper-spraying someone who's
just sharing an opinion that's just different than yours.
Well that was then and this is now, let's talk about the Ann Coulter situation
Here's the timeline; on March 29th, Berkley College Republicans announced that Ann Coulter will speak April 27th
She's a high-profile conservative figure and she is going to be there speaking about illegal immigration
Then we start getting closer to the event and tensions are high
April 15th, while not necessarily connected to Ann Coulter speaking anti-Trump and Trump protesters clash
It happened off campus but there were fistfights, people throwing smoke bombs, fireworks
Then, on April 19th, Ann Coulter's speech is cancelled by UC Berkley
University administrators saying in a statement
Then after a lot of national criticism, a lot of national attention they said "no never mind Ann Coulter is going to speak!"
We found a safe venue, it just won't be on April 27th it'll be on May 2nd
but in response to this Ann Coulter and the Republican group that invited her rejected this
Then, *dramatic catching of breath*, on April 24th
Then this past Tuesday the Young Americans Foundation backed out as a co-sponsor of this event with Coulter
The statement on it's website saying
Berkley College Republicans also backed down saying that the situation had become too hostile
so then finally Ann Coulter said she is no longer going to have a speech at Berkley saying
And for those of you who have watched for awhile, this will not shock you, while I do not like what Ann Coulter says
I think that she should have the right to say it
Suppression of free speech is not a win whether it be against your friend or an enemy
If someone has a flawed or horrible argument let them air it out so  the world can know how stupid they are
Let them give you the ammunition for their own undoing
I can never support people that cheer because someone's not able to say something because they
were literally scared for their lives.
Anyone who cheers on the suppression of free speech whether it be with something you agree with or something you don't
you are no friend of mine.
You have done what I had previously thought unthinkable and that was make Ann Coulter look like a victim
It just boggles my mind that there are people so passionate about something and it has blinded them so much
that they are becoming what they say they hate.
Now keep in mind that I'm not saying "oh all the kids  at UC Berkley they're the problem!"
In fact while there are students there that obviously did not want Ann Coulter to speak
there were also a lot that did.
And that's an important point in stories like this is that we don't take the most extreme of people that are opposed to you say;
"That's the entire group. There you have it. It's that simple, all or nothing."
It's not.
Hey! Like I always say, this is my opinion here.
Whether you agree or you disagree with me I'd love to know your takeaway from this situation
is this a win or is this a big loss for America?
I'd love to know your thoughts here.
But from that I want to share some of the stuff I love today
and Today in Awesome brought to you by the "Life's Not a Competition... but if it was I'd be winning" shirt
A shirt that says hey your awesome, and you shouldn't be sad because I'm more awesome
So if you wanna snag that that is available for the next three days
The first bit of Awesome, you might've already seen it already is the revealed trailer for Call of Duty World War II
I'm including this in Today in Awesome because obviously there are ton of people that are excited about this
but also this is awesome for the Call of Duty franchise
Because this revealed trailer has been received infinitely better than their last revealed trailer
which of course famously received over 3.5 million dislikes
People apparently HATE space
They received so much hate there were like "okay! fuck the future! we'll go back!"
Then we got a video I want to pimp out from Mark Rober
He filmed a Hot Wheels slo-mo stunt race which sounds maybe childish
but there's some epic slo-mo shots and stunts and also I feel like we just need to take away the negative
connotation with the term "childish"
Then we got a video from AwakenWithJP on how to make your relationship better by being passive aggressive
And even before watching this video it just felt good to know I was ahead of the curve here
And the last bit of Awesome which was by far the Most Awesome was a Heineken ad
It's called "World Apart Open Your World" and it is everything that stupid Kendall Jenner Pepsi commercial wasn't
They take people who are opposed on a topic, put them together, have them work things out together
learn about each other. Then they reveal through video the person you've been working with and that you're
enjoying your time with you're actually you are in disagreement with them.
After learning that you can either leave or sit down, have a beer to talk it out
And it's beautiful! Everything that stupid Pepsi commercial it was like Pepsi solved everything
it lives in this super happy fun time fantasy land where sugar poison solves everything
Where as this Heineken ad just shows us that we're all human
that we're going to disagree and maybe we can talk it out
and maybe that drink can be a part of the process but it's not the magic thing that solves it
the people themselves, they solve it, the humans solve it, and the drink's just there for the ride
We could all benefit by trying to find some common ground with one another
And if you wanna see the full versions of everything I just shared, Secret Link of the Day
Anything at all links as always are in the description down below
And then let's talk about Bill Nye the Science Guy
"Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill!"
And now before moving forward I wanna say that Bill Nye will always have a special place in my heart
along with Beakman's World,The Reading Rainbow, Mr. Wizard, Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, the Magic School Bus
there's too many!
There's really too many to list off but these were shows that made me care about the world which is why
I was so excited that Bill Nye was going to have a Netflix show
Now based off what I've seen with the change of format that's it's to a studio audience
and moments like this with Rachel Blume:
left cringing so hard I might've just popped a blood vessel
and also I'm not excited to binge through the show
But the reason I'm talking about Bill today doesn't have to do with that it has to do with people saying Bill Nye is pandering
he is flip-flop
You might've already seen the side-by-side comparison of old Bill versus new Bill
old Bill saying;
new Bill saying;
and people have been sharing these pictures side by side with captions like
I saw Milo Yiannopoulos posting it, and then deleting it, and then The Donald embraced the picture
But it turns out it's fake, not the new picture but the old one
here's what Bill Nye actually said;
"Chromosomes contain all the genetic information, all the instructions you need to make a person!"
And once again seems like our now daily reminder of we need to look into things before we just embrace it and pass it on as truth
If you don't like what Bill Nye said with gender is like sex it's on a spectrum, you can just disagree with that or
bash him for that. You don't need to then go and do what a lot of the media outlets do which is
take something that turns out to actually be flimsy or fake and over-swing, and make yourself look ridiculous
because you shared something fake when you had your argument.
What I will say is the silver-lining to this story is that it feels like people are holding themselves more accountable
I saw a few people that had posted the meme acknowledging that they were wrong
Screencapping their mistake, showing what he actually said
We need to see more of that, no one is infallible, sometimes our bias blinds us and sometimes we just have off days
Then in news I didn't talk about yesterday because I thought it- it's so stupid
that I thought it had to be fake news but it is not.
The department store Nordstrom is selling a pair of jeans covered in fake mud for $425
I saw that and went "no" I mean I hated ripped jeans at first but at least then you'd see more skin
I'm sure there's some people that buy those jeans to make it look like they're worn in but a lot of
people it's just a look.
But fake mud? I mean this to me just makes it seem like rich people are spending money to make it seem
like they actually work for their money.
The description for these jeans on their website make me want to punch one of their executives in the throat
Under details, it says:
YOU ARE AFRAID TO GET DOWN AND DIRTY because you're paid $425
to make it seem like you didn't buy your outfit with your trust fund money!
What a lot of people haven't realized is it's not just this one pair of jeans, they have several
There's this, the 'Barracuda Straight Leg jeans' as well as the 'Demon Slim Straight Leg jeans'
Or your 'Barracuda Destroyed Straight Leg jeans'
Which by the way if the police raided the home of a man and had found that he had killed ten people and then put them in his freezer
I would imagine he wears pants like this.
What is even happening? What is that random white patch?
It looks like the skin of a victim.
And at the top of the jeans, I can't tell if you're trying to lie and try to convince people you were painting or
you just had your first period.
And I'm left torn when I see things like this because it makes me go "I hate rich people"
but at the same time if a rich person buys these pair of pants then they are separated from their money
and isn't that kind of a win?
Also I just realized I have not mentioned the brand name of the people who actually make these clothes
And that is 'PRPS', which I don't know what those letters stand for nor will I learn because I'm not going to call you by that name ever
I am going to call this 'Fuckboy Apparel'
And obviously as you would expect you have people trolling Nordstrom hard over this but
a company has also joined in and that company is Reebok who jokingly offered the Reebok Authentic Sweat Shirt
Product description reading
And while hilarious I think that description perfectly conveys why I hate those jeans so much
People buying those clothes aren't just lazy fakers those clothes are the embodiment of what I hate
of people who present themselves as something they talk about their hustle their grind!
which is usually 90% posing for pictures on Instagram with stupid ass captions
People with calf and ass implants trying to tell you how to be healthy, how  to live a better life just so they can sell you some bullshit
and that's just the world we live in; perception is reality, bullshitters can win
People can present themselves to be as deep as the fucking ocean but they're just a puddle
I don't know if you can tell but I kinda sorta hate fakers but my main take away!
Let's let rich fuckboys buy these jeans because at least then they'll be easier to identify.
And then let's talk about a lawsuit coming out of Wisconsin
A Wisconsin TV station has filed a federal lawsuit against these two men
Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher
Although the Wisconsin TV station did not know them by those names previously they knew them as Steele and Chop
Steele and Chop were a strong man duo who show the hosts and all the viewers at home how to stay fit
but it turns out they were fakes they were phonies!
The TV station saying they were defrauded, that Joe and Nick
Reportedly, November 16th of last year two of the anchors of Hello Wisconsin received an email from Jerry Chubb
The email said the duo was going to perform a series of free live events
And I'm just going to stop there because I have to say I think this lawsuit is ridiculous
How in less than five seconds you see these two guys show up saying they are a 'strong man duo'
do you not realize this is a joke?
How? When they advertise smashing two tennis rackets against one another as an exercise
do you not realize you're being played?
Or when they showcase karate-chopping twigs? Or my personal favorite
the Easter basket stomp exercise
And the fact that when they're plugging their website they're doing it like this
Come on! It's a  joke and you got played it's funny
And actually on that note, the two comedians said that the anchors thought it was funny
but, unfortunately it's their parent company Gray Television who is none too happy and uh is suing
and my ultimate take away from this is really you're going to sue over this?
You're going to sue two guys who pulled a joke on you which by the way could've been avoided if
any single individual at your giant ass company had just written their names into Google and hit enter
It just makes you look sad.
Then in the latest update for United Airlines do not worry no one died or got their face smashed in
United Airlines made some big announcements in their review of the April 9th incident with Dr. Dao
And finally the big announcement that everyone's talking about the maximum incentive for giving up your seat on a flight is now $10,000
That change kicks in tomorrow
And this of course a massive deal because the reason they were kicking people off that United Airlines flight with Dr. Dao
was because they offered $800 and there were no takers and then they just started booting people off the plane
Delta made this change to $10,000 a few days ago, now United Airlines is following suit
We'll have to wait and see how the public responds to this the Re-Accomodater and CEO of United Airlines, Oscar Munoz saying;
And so a question that I'll pass off to you for those of you who have been saying you would not fly United
after this incident are these changes enough for you?
Either morally, because you're taking them at their word you think they made a mistake they're trying to fix it
or financially, in that you maybe kinda almost want to book a United flight just to get booted off?
Maybe turn around a little profit from voluntarily giving up your seat.
One thing's for sure to me is that United Airlines looks to be handling this situation and coming out a little bit cleaner
then the security guards that were involved here.
And that's actually where I'm going to end today's show
