Sup you beautiful bastards, hope you have a fantastic Friday, welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show
And if you're new here on Fridays I do things a little bit different. On Fridays I try to cover more
Viewer-requested stories and a time stories I tried to get to but we just didn't have enough time this week
And so with that said, let's just jump into it
and the first thing we're gonna talk about today is just this crazy story out of
Arizona if you haven't heard police are investigating a Hacienda health care facility in Arizona
After a female patient gave birth to a child on December 29th.
And as far as why the police are investigating it's because this 29 year old patient in question has been in a persistent
vegetative state for at least 10 years and so that mean she is awake but does not show signs of awareness.
She is nonverbal and cannot move by herself, and according to an anonymous source familiar with the situation quote.
"None of the staff were aware that she was pregnant until she was pretty much giving birth
From what I've been told she was moaning and they didn't know what was wrong with her."
Adding "There was a nurse that was there. And from what I've heard
She's the one that delivered the baby." Following this we had Phoenix police Sergeant
Tommy Thompson saying the matter is currently under investigation, but he gave no further detail.
But reportedly the police have been stationed in front of the facility for the last few days.
We also had the Arizona Department of Health Services saying in a statement that after learning of the incident
they are performing an immediate on-site complaint investigation.
Adding the agency is required heightened safety measures be implemented at the facility. We also had Hacienda Healthcare
Spokesman Nancy Salmon giving a statement where she called the same deeply disturbing incident and adding Hacienda has and will continue to cooperate fully with
Law enforcement and all the relevant regulatory agencies regarding this matter then on Monday
it was announced that Bill Timmons the CEO of
Hacienda Healthcare resigned from his position effective immediately and according to a press release on Tuesday from Hacienda
The police served a warrant to gather DNA from male staff members and in the statement
They said they welcomed this development adding that it would have been illegal for Hacienda to require staff to submit DNA
Saying we have consulted attorneys to determine whether it would be legal for our company to compel our employees to undergo DNA testing conducted through
Hacienda, or for hacienda to conduct voluntary genetic testing of staffers
We were told it would be a violation of federal law in either instance. Also on Tuesday
We found out that the patient is a member of the San Carlos Apache Tribe according to a statement from the tribes chairman
He also had a lawyer representing the woman's family coming forward to say family. Obviously is outraged
Traumatized and in shock by the abuse and neglect of their daughter at Hacienda health care
but also adding regarding the baby the family would like me to convey that the baby boy has been born into a loving family and
Will be well cared for also of note here reportedly since this incident the facility's policies have chain
Now in order for a male staff member to enter a female patient's room. They must be accompanied by a female staff member
it's still and
understandably
You have parents of other patients that are questioning the safety of this facility after this news came out
A lot of people are mad my family included my heart hurts my chest hurts. I
Haven't been able to sleep good at night
Because of what occurred here Trust has been broken and severed completely and on the note of others being fearful
I mean you had a spokesperson for the Arizona Coalition to end sexual and domestic violence say in sexual assault cases
It's not uncommon that perpetrators have multiple victims. And so that would be a concern for us
also
Since this news came out you've had people digging to the care facilities history need people finding things like record from 2013
They reveal a number of incidents where a staff member made inappropriate comments about patient
also
There were allegations at the staffer had watched some patients
Masturbate and that while bathing a patient told another staffer that the patient would have a quote happy morning
But also records show that the staff member in question was fired and training policies were updated ultimately
That's where we are right now
You have multiple agencies that are investigating this incident, but also making very little information publicly available
But I mean because there is DNA
hopefully they will find whoever did this but also still passed past the rape and people not knowing that a rape took place there have
Been understandably a lot of people questioning how the hell can a health care facility not know that one of their patients was pregnant
Reportedly there was a physical done on the patient April 16th
but reports have come out saying that that was only
external also as far as the outward signs that this patient was pregnant according to some of the reporting here doctors and fetal medicine say
It's possible there might not be extreme outward signs of pregnancy if the mother is in a vegetative state
But ultimately that's where we are right now. Hopefully we get more information soon from this investigation. Also, hopefully we see an arrest
Yeah, this is definitely one of the more disturbing stories that we saw this week
I don't even know what question it would pass off with this story just like oh is it horrible or just really really horrible?
Oh, no, that's it for this story and a quickie Requested story
I had people asking about my opinion regarding the ace family controversy
If you're not familiar, the ace family is a massively successful and popular family channel here on YouTube. That's actually some level limiting
They're also massive elsewhere. But the main point of this story was Austin McBroom the father of the family
There's a video that went viral on Twitter
Although I will say I don't feel comfortable sharing it in this video these videos via snapchat Austin McBroom, put it out
There you see them in a store little girls reaching up
she says I want a lot the video showcases that the
Lollipop is this kind of rainbow lollipop in the shape of a penis next we see she's holding it
Austin McBroom says to show it to Katherine little girl then begins waving it around
Acting like she's licking
It didn't showcases himself buying it and kind of gives an explanation as to why he did it
Which that part doesn't have the kid in it so we can see she said she's gonna steal it if I didn't buy it self
Better be buying so there's a massive negative reaction to this
like I said
This went viral the the vid the initial video has over 4 million views any responding if they were disturbed
Disgusted some went on to say that he was sexualizing this young girl
Some people went as far to say that he had brought this little girl to a sex shop
although that doesn't appear to be the case any people pointing out that it looks like they were Anna Spencer's which if you've ever been
Inside like the stuff that's in there just ranges wildly
right as people have pointed out like you'll see like a Pokemon shirt in the front and then
stuff like what we saw in this video in the back my personal response to the
Situation is what the fuck you could have easily said no to a child and gotten them a different
lollipop you also at any point did not have to videotape and throw that out to the internet whether it be the first video which
Is like, haha
she doesn't realize what this is nor the video where you had this incredibly young child acting like they were licking the lollipop for the
Camera, which you then decided to share to the entirety of the Internet. It's just really really strange to me
I think there's probably a conversation about people not knowing where the line is and and we live in a society now of oversharing
especially when profit is
Associated with over sharing but also that's just my opinion now as far as Austin McBroom response to all of this
We really haven't seen one so far and at least from a PR standpoint as of now that may have actually been a fantastic choice
for Austin McBroom because for example when you go to their YouTube videos
which just their last video got over four point four five million views a lot of the top comments are referencing the video the
Controversy, the video is still massively liked compared to dislike their subscriber growth since last Sunday has slowed down
But they're still immensely positive something we're gonna kind of touch on and what the last story is
sometimes the more you talk about it the bigger you make the situation but also at the same time when you're in the
Situation you don't know if it's about to end tomorrow
You don't know how long it'll continue because there are a lot of other places that can pick it up
For example just in the past day. It's not just the buzz feeds of the world
But all of a sudden you have news wheat B et picked it up. I saw the Washington Post was posting about it
And so I kind of mentioned that from a PR standpoint. I'm very fascinated by the situation as far as awesome RunAs concerned
I don't know him as a person. I am apparently one of the few people that does not watch their vlog
I don't know if this is a trend based off of the shock
It appears that this kind of just came out of nowhere and I'm still watching a video
It creeps me the hell out that said I will pass a question off to you
What are your thoughts around the?
Situation, but from that I want to share some stuff I loved today and today in Austin brought to you by mid rolls
Oh
That was just a strange jump cut in the first bit of Awesome today are actually two bits of community news first is we made
It through our first week back of the philip defranco show as well as those extra morning news video
Which is also on that note. I was incredibly happy that those morning news videos
Not only did you guys like the quality, but the numbers were fantastic
We were aiming for those pieces to just hit like three hundred fifty four hundred thousand
So the fact that both of them got over 700
thousand that is such an awesome thing to seem so glad you guys have been liking those and also it appears like sharing it at
Even higher rate and also I want to give a quick shout out to Ben Waxler and all you other beautiful bastards supporting us over

We got the official trailer for season 2 of Marvel's The Punisher if you want to see the full versions of everything
I just shared the secret link of the day really anything at all
Links as always are in the description down below and then let's talk about a story that we're somehow talking about in
2019
Measles right now New York have officials are battling these states largest outbreak of measles in recent history according to its health commissioner. Dr
Howard Zucker according to reports there have been at least
105 cases in Rockland County at least seven in Orange County and at least 55 in New York City
Mainly in Williamsburg and Borough Park and understand that these numbers are still expected to rise now the operation began back in September
It's thought to be connected to visits to Israel, which has been battling their own outbreak of the measles
Although it's not just them along with Israel. There have been other outbreaks in recent months and Ukraine Italy, Moldova and Colombia
also, according to the World Health Organization in 2017 around
110,000 people died from the measles worldwide mostly children under five and since the outbreak in New York began health officials there have been making
efforts to get the unvaccinated
Vaccinated over the past three months at least 13,000 people
mostly young
Children have been vaccinated at state and county clinic more than 40,000 educational fliers have been distributed to homes in the hardest hit communities
in Rockland
We saw more than two dozen schools and daycare centres closed down because of low vaccination
Rates with unvaccinated children being required to stay home for their own protection until they get their shots also of note
Here is the state of New York actually requires all children to receive the measles vaccination before being enrolled into schools daycares and pre-k
But there is the exception of waivers that can be applied for in cases where religious beliefs do not allow for vaccinations
But also I guess the devil but there are also some reports saying that among private schools
There is less enforcement of this policy saying that in some private schools in Rockland County
Vaccination rates have fallen to around 50 percent and according to John
Lyon a spokesperson for Rockland County people usually wait until the school where the doctor makes them get vaccinated in many cases
It seems like they didn't have to do it. So they chose not to do its line
Also adding that enforcing school
vaccination requirements seems to have helped with getting children vaccinated and something people really need to understand about the measles is just how
Contagious it is according to dr. Tanya Altman a spokeswoman for the American Academy of Pediatrics. Lisl's is one of the most contagious viruses
It's so contagious that nine out of ten people will catch measles if they're in the same room as someone who has Meisel
It's transmitted by sneezing and coughing as well as direct contact with an infected person
Symptoms include rashes and a fever that usually lasts for several days
Infected people are contagious from four days before to four days after the rash appears with young children
And pregnant women having the highest risk for severe complications that can lead to death
So that's why the CDC
Recommends a children receive the vaccine for measles which also protects against mumps and rubella
referred to as MMR which typically involves two rounds of shots the first being between 12 and 15 months of age and the second being
Between four and six years of age and going even further
They recommend that everyone including infants between 6 and 11 months be vaccinated before international
Travel also a little history around the measles before the vaccine became available back in
1963 nearly all children got the measles by the time they were 15 with an estimated three to four million
Infected in the United States each year. It's also estimated that each year 400 to 500 people died
Forty-eight thousand people were hospitalized in one
and suffered encephalitis or swelling of the brain for measles and if you've gotten the hint yet that this is an incredibly
Frustrating story to me. It's largely because back in 2000
The measles was declared eliminated from the United States because there was an absence of continuous disease
Transmission for more than 12 months it was done
it was gone science prevailed but due to now anti vaccination movements and things like the untrue belief that
Vaccinations are linked to autism
We're seeing more and more of these cases and according to a CDC report released back in October the proportion of children receiving no vaccine
Doses by two years of age rose from 0.9 percent in 2011 to 1.3 percent among those born in 2015
The thing is when I talk about
anti-vaxxers a lot of people often think of Jenny McCarthy
She of course
One of the people with a spotlight that helped popularize the just scientifically unsubstantiated claims that there is a link between vaccines and autism
It's not just those dumpster fires
most of these new cases involve children that are completely unvaccinated and in cases
Partially and some that are connected to the Orthodox Jewish community in November New York City health commissioner. Dr. Ochs ers
Barbets said in a statement the increase in measles cases in Orthodox Jewish communities of Brooklyn
Demonstrates the importance of getting children vaccinated on time to prevent measles and not put other children at risk now while it is not part
of Orthodox
Jewish belief some
anti-vaccination groups have made
Targeted efforts to reach religious communities and specifically in this situation some Orthodox Jews avoid technology and hold rabbinic opinion in high esteem
Which leaves them in a vulnerable position?
Alexandr wrap up or the CEO of the maas be assumed kitchen network in Brooklyn in a public face for the Hasidic community said being
A religious Jew you also get used to having a minority viewpoint
So if something is not mainstream
It doesn't take you away from believing the Brooklyn based peach or parents teaching and advocating for children's health is one such group they hand
Out pamphlets and books to Orthodox Jewish members and use rabbis as authorities
Which is something that members take very seriously it so then you have people like Brooklyn Orthodox
Rabbi, William handler handler is out there saying things like people that vaccinate their children are engaging in quote child sacrifice
I will end this by kind. I feel like I got this point across the fact that we're dealing with
This is so incredibly stupid but unfortunately regarding the measles this is a team game
so
Please please please people out there
Spread the word get vaccinated also side note and I probably have a few of these that float through my life now that I have
I have a kid and I have to deal with other people. I normally don't have to deal with if you are at anti-vaxxer
I think you are. So just profoundly fucking stupid you in
No way should ever be featured on a TV station having some debates one-on-one with someone because you're not you're not
50% of the conversation you're a small diluted ridiculous group backed up by
Even less if you can even call it
Information you only searching for information you can find on the internet that backs how you feel stupid motherfucker
Are you specifically I welcome your dislikes on this video so I can see how many stupid people passed through?
Sidenote if you haven't yet everyone go get your flu shots
and then let's talk about a story that I'm almost a little bit surprised that it is continued from the end of 2018 now into
2019 but also it makes sense
I think I'm talking about there is the story and the
controversy that has continued to follow Kevin Hart around if you missed the initial situation
I want to just super boil it down to bring us back up to speed back in December
It was announced that Kevin Hart was going to host the Oscars and then of course a bunch of homophobic offensive tweets from his past
Resurfaced some as far back as 2009. He also talked about his initial responses back when it happened
and essentially he said that he'd already apologized for his past comments claiming that he was given an ultimatum from the Academy to apologize or
Lose the job Kevin Hart then ultimately decided to step down as the hose issuing that announcement on Twitter as well as then issuing another
Apology, but the backlash really didn't die down there
There are a lot of people that continue to criticize his previous apology is saying they weren't sincere
He was also criticized referring to people bringing up his past as trolls rather than people with legitimate cause for anger people that were bothered
Also seem to be bothered that he appeared to feel like the victim in this
Situation and then time went on and I thought okay
Well, maybe this is over then while we're on break from the PDS Kevin Hart appeared on The Ellen Show in that segment
He explained that he initially wanted to ignore the tweets resurfacing saying that he'd already addressed them in the past
But as the days went on the story got bigger and bigger and so he did now the headlines are starting to change
The headlines are Kevin Hart refuses to apologize for homophobic tweets from the pass
The word again was left out
Everybody took those headlines and started to run with it. So now
The slander on my name is all homophobia now. I'm a little upset
I'm gonna upset because I Know Who I am. I don't have a homophobic bone in my body
I know that the dress did I know that I've apologized
I know that within my apologies I've taken ten years
to put my apology to work I
Yet to go back to that version of the immature comedian that once was I've moved on nobody's finding
The apologies nobody's finding the footage from where I had to address it
I had to address it when I did get hard promo with Will Ferrell because of my joke that I had about my son
I had to address those tweets in 2012 and a very very heavy
Heavy junket where I was asked questions and ask questions about homophobia based on those tweets
And I had to address it and apologize and say I understand what those words
doin how they hurt I
Understand why people would be upset which is why I made the choice to not use them anymore
I don't joke like that anymore because that was wrong
That was a guy that was just looking for less and I was stupid. I don't do that anymore
Then Ellen goes on to tell Kevin that she wants him to reconsider
Hosting saying she called the Academy and they really want him back and in the end
He said that he would evaluate everything they had discussed
This interview was met with more backlash and this time for both comedians, especially for members of the LGBTQ community like Jonathan Van Ness
who tweeted nothing like enabling someone to
Mansplain why they're homophobic past comments paired with defensive irritated half apologies are totally fabulous gay men of color in this country face huge stigma
Caused by this behavior ellen girl not cool with others riding
Why didn't you bring black gay men the ones who the comments were about on the show?
how do you a white woman decide who gets to receive an apology where you were never the target of the comments y'all have got
To start using privilege correctly others referred to as statements as concocting an alternative history
Also people looking to Ellen's producer Andy Lassner who even responded to some comments
Criticizing the segment and one response saying I don't want to live in a world where forgiveness and personal growth aren't possible I grew up
Using gay slurs with my friends. I thought it was funny and harmless I learned and evolved I changed life is hard
We made terrible mistakes, and then we try and be better than earlier this week
haven't apologized to the
LGBTQ community on a Sirius XM show straight from the heart saying these weren't words that I said to gay individuals saying this was our
Dumb asses on Twitter going back and forth with each other
We thought it was okay to talk like that because that's how we talked to one another and that you go fuck
This is wrong. Now saying in the same episode if the fight from the LGBTQ community is quality. That's the fight
The fight is the will and wants for equality. I'm riding with you guys
I understand it but in the fight for equality
That means there has to be an acceptance for chain
If you don't want to accept people for their change, and where are you trying to get to the equal part?
Where does the Equality part come in he also addressed a comment from CNN anchor Don Lemon who criticized Kevin Zelan interview by saying?
apologizing and moving on does not make the world a better place for people who are gay or people who are transgender being an ally
Does and Kevin responded by saying that he wasn't interested in doing that because it's quote not my life dream then after that this week
He did an interview on Good Morning America with Michael Strahan appeared that he was there to promote his movie
But he also then sat down with Michael Strahan for like 10 11 minutes for this interview if there was one thing that Kevin Hart
Really wanted to get across at this point. It was that quote. I'm over it. I'm over it. I'm over it
I'm over you're trying to say that you've apologized and people should accept the way in which you've done it
Even if it's not the way that they like free would like here's I'm trying to say
I'm over it
He then went on to confirm that he's not going to host the Oscars but saying
You know leaving the door open for the future then appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert where he made similar comments
Essentially saying that he refuses to be a part of an endless cycle of apologies and doing so again on Thursday with an interview published
By NPR's fresh air as far as the Oscars question right now. There is still no host
It's actually believed that there might just not be one according to reports right now producers might just be selecting celebrities to introduce
Segments be a part of skits all instead of kind of having to rely on just a single person as far as my opinion on
This I am NOT a part of a group that may have taken offense to those past comments. I'm a straight white guy technically
I'm Sicilian Italian
Which maybe would have mattered several generations ago where people were like calling you up and throwing stuff at you in 2019?
People just see me as white bread
but I didn't have to deal with the the hurdles the the harassment that members of the
LGBTQ community had to deal with that's not my story. It's one that I can see it's one that I can hear
It's one that I can try and take time to understand right and so just kind of from the get-go
I understand why some people are gonna discount this opinion and that's not against you
I understand and understand I'm not like oh, woe is me poor persecuted me
I'm just saying I
Understand that but I'm still going to give my opinion even though some of you don't
I want had to resign understand that there are members of the LGBTQ community that feel
Frustrated and annoyed that Kevin Hart at least in his statements can appear that he feels like he is the main victor
This situation and on the other side of it
I can see from Kevin Hart standpoint of the
frustration and frustration that he feels because he's had to apologize for his past comments for such a long period of time but at this
Point with how long this conversation has continued and my big question is well
What is the goal that everyone has and how do we move forward because it appears that from Kevin Hart's standpoint?
He feels like he has thrown out
apology
After apology and his frustration is very on the surface and I have to imagine that mindset comes from let's say what let's just throw
A number of peace of mind set up I have apologized six times
Literally nothing else is going to change or happen
If I just say to seventh either they hear me
they believe me that I'm trying to become this better person that I feel like I've become this better person or locked in they have
This opinion of me. I can't change it
That's just the reality and why should I continue to grovel especially since every time I talk about it?
There's another sound by you that gets more people angry
But on the other side of this you have people like Louis vert L Lewis tweeted
I feel like if you're not homophobic anymore, you shouldn't mind apologizing for your past homophobia again and again and again
I don't want to hear a hostile
retelling of how we didn't hear your meager apology the first time it's what I asked a Lewis or anyone else and I ask this
genuinely because as I stated before I have my different upbringing I didn't have to go through the hurdles and trauma of
What you have to deal with now and your childhood what if anything would make it?
okay in your mind and allow someone to
Continue moving forward is it frustration because you feel like it's any and all of the apologies have not been sincere
It is not evolved or grown and that is just shielded his true feelings
Are you of the mind that his career should just be done because this stuff happened
would you want to see him make a kind of a spectacle or a public donation to an
LGBTQ charity or that just be seen as PR or a manufactured move have to
Consistently for the rest of his life
Lower his head and say I'm sorry and I ask all of that because one this is a very specific situation
But it's also part of a larger story that has to do with cancel' culture in general in a lot of these situations
I don't know what the hell we or others want I think in part I asked that because I mean for those of you who
Have been with me for a long time. I did I constantly bring it up
I was a scumbag at times in my past
All right, I'm saying ridiculous over-the-top disgusting things just to be edgy and get a reaction and get traction
I got someone that now I would call that person a douchebag of the day
I do personally find it somewhat unfortunate that
I think that will often lock someone in a box for their past obviously not all past actions are the same, right?
There's a massive difference between words and actions like violin pants. Just something this and several other stories
Have me thinking about and that's why I do want to pass a question off to you
Regarding what are your thoughts on this and that's what I'm going to end today's show
