sup, you beautiful bastard hope you are having a fantastic Monday
Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show and let's just jump into and the first things we're gonna talk about today are actually two stories
Connected by one topic and that is breast feeding. And the line of the two stories actually involves chrissy teigen yesterday
She posted this photo of herself breastfeeding with the caption. Luna making me feed her baby doll
So I guess I have twins now and while there was a lot of love for that photo it had almost three million likes it
Also resulted in people attacking TK now too late a tweet
Someone wrote. I think it's perfectly fine for women who breastfeed in public they are doing it because they need to when you post some
Social media that you were doing it, it comes across as narcissistic though
Which Teigen responded now just chillin hosting daily life like I do with anything else cooking playing with dogs, etc
You make feeding a baby a big deal because you got weird titty issues another writing rice in the handbasket menustrating
Childbirth and sex are natural - that doesn't mean I want to see pics of it and or celebrities like Chrissy Teigen taking a bath
Or nursing we get it with Teigan replied
I don't care to see grainy fireworks Coachella selfies or infinity pool pics
But I let people live calmly taped and scroll on by this is the first time taking on her husband John Legend of post anything
And there being some backlash in there there were similar reactions people saying the breasts need to be kept private
inclusion of talk about modesty my personal takeaway is I'm glad
Teigen and others share photos like this and it's not for like any weird creepy sex related reason
I think it takes away the stigma of breastfeeding unfortunately
It is very easy to find stories about mothers who are shamed because they're breastfeeding various stories about women in public
Even women who are not with their babies, but need to pump during work hours
So I personally think that any attempt to simply normalize feeding a child
I think it's good especially in a post like this where you're not making women who don't breastfeed feel like monsters
But of course like with every store we're talking about today. That's a story in my opinion
And of course, I'd love to hear from you
Even if you don't agree with me
So let me know in the comments down below, but that said let's talk about the second story around
Breastfeeding because it becomes a much bigger international
Issue in the spring the United States participated in a United Nations affiliated World Health Assembly at that assembly Ecuador proposed a resolution to encourage
Breastfeeding the resolution saying that mother's milk is healthiest for children and countries should strive to limit the inaccurate or misleading
marketing of breast milk
Substitute and while I was expected to pass quickly and easily that is not what happened reportedly US officials wanted to remove language I called
On governments to quote protect promote and support breastfeeding this reportedly on top
Another passage remove that called on policymakers restrict the promotion of food products that many experts said would have bad effects on young children
Those propositions were then met with
Pushback and then according to a New York Times report published on Sunday the United States then allegedly resorted to making threats
specifically against Ecuador allegedly if Ecuador refused to drop the resolution the United States reportedly stated they would unleash
Punishing trade measures and withdrawal crucial military and according to the time the issue was recounted by more than a dozen participants from several countries
Many of whom requested anonymity because they fear retaliation from the United States
But then and get this this is where it gets really interesting
What ended up happening was that Russia ended up being the country to introduce the resolution and the United States allegedly did not pressure Russia
To back down from the measure and that final resolution
Also reportedly kept a ton of the original wording about the United States was successful in getting rid of language that called for the international
health body to provide technical support for nations seeking to stop
Inappropriate promotion of food for infants and young children and with this specific story there
There are two main focuses and the first I'll mention isn't actually even limited to breastfeeding and that is just the negotiation tactic
This is something patty Rendell the policy director of the British
advocacy group baby milk action chimed in on saying we were
Astonished appalled and also said what happened was tantamount some black man with the US holding the world hostage and trying to overturn nearly 40
years of consensus on the best way to protect infant and young child health
But the big focus there is what has been seen as blackmail, but if you don't vote our way here
You're gonna hurt somewhere else on that specific note
We shouldn't be surprised because the the Trump administration has done this before
One of the most notable in front of the camera one's had to deal with a Jerusalem vote in the UN
Nikki Haley saying they're gonna take names of countries voting a certain way Trump
of course saying let them vote against us will save a lot we don't care but this isn't like it used to be where they
Could vote against you and then you pay them hundreds of millions of dollars. We're not going to be taken advantage of any longer
so whereas many people will see the situation as another example of
blackmail appears that Donald Trump's mindset is why are we going to help you if you're not going to help us but also this current
situation seems to be an escalation because it's not just with the drawing support is the alleged threat of punishing trade measures being added so
You have that part but then of course there is the actual breastfeeding part an anonymous spokesperson where the Department of Health and Human Services
Downplayed the situation saying resolution as originally drafted placed unnecessary hurdles for mothers seeking to provide nutrition to their children adding
We recognize not all women are able to breastfeed for a variety of reasons
These women should have the choice and access to alternatives for the health of their babies and not be
Stigmatized for the ways in which they are able to do
So but still yet some saying that the Trump administration
All they're doing here is that they're aligning themselves up with corporate interests and in the articles and criticism
We saw Donald Trump this morning tweet the fail in New York Times fake news story
Today about breastfeeding must be called out the u.s
strongly supports breastfeeding
But we do not believe women should be denied access to formula many women need this option because of malnutrition
And poverty and so that's where we are right now. We'll have to wait to see what happens next
But that's why I say this is a story about breastfeeding but it is also a much larger story about how the u.s
Is dealing with international allies, but from that I want to share some stuff

Really nice moment for a lot of people going through really hard times and additionally I bet it was probably a really awesome experience
For the real world heroes though the men working at that
Hospital to have for a day if you want to see the full versions of everything
I'll just share the secret link of the day anything
I really talked about today links as always are in the description down below and then let's talk about the massive updates with that story
at at I'll Andrea those twelve young boys and their soccer coach trapped in a cave for more than two weeks now now when we
last talked about this story
There was tragic news
A former Thai Navy SEAL officer by the name of Simon Geun on who volunteered to help rescue. These boys ended up dying
himself when he ran out of oxygen but since then thanks to Coonan and so many others who are trying to help we've just been
Getting so much good news for the last two days as of recording
This video eight of the twelve boys have been rescued. We learned on Sunday for the boys had been rescued
They were taken by ambulance to a local hospital for recovery according to initial reports
the rescue effort went even smoother than they
expected following that four more boys were taken out of the cave this morning and that rescue run was reportedly even quicker than the first
one after this latest round of rescues
They put everything on hold but it is expected to resume in the next twenty hours right now
Things are looking very good
but they still of course need to rescue the next four boys and their coach as far as the condition of the boys who have
Been rescued so far not a ton is know according to officials all of the boys who've been rescued so far are in good condition
Although according to reports the boys who were rescued on Sunday. We're in a bit worse condition those rescued Monday's right now
They are reportedly being held in quarantine and so as right now that is where we are
Hopefully the next time we end up talking about this story. There's even more good news also with this story
There was a note I want to hit on because there seems to be some confusion with some people Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon
Musk has been tied in with this story July third. Someone tweeted Elon Musk saying I serve possible
Can you assist in any way to get the twelve thailand boys and their coach out of the cave musk responds?
I suspect that the Thai government has this under control, but I'm happy to help if there is a way to do so
well
Then sets off this chain of events where Elon Musk and others are talking about pumping water out of the cave building an air tunnel
All of a sudden it turns into what have we made a mini-sub essentially for a small child on July 7th musk tweeting
Got more great feedback from Thailand primary path is basically a tiny kid sized submarine using the liquid oxygen
transfer tube of Falcon rocket as whole
I didn't have to be carried by two divers small enough to get through narrow gaps extremely robust and fast-forward to Sunday
We see Elon Musk tweeting out videos where it looks like they're testing this in a pool
but the big note there is well that it's fascinating and really
Interesting to watch that is not how the boy is in Thailand are actually being rescued
there's also not a misconception that Elon Musk is promoted in July eighth Elon Musk retweeted a post about how
Operation had begun row extremely talented dive team makes sense given monsoon Godspeed
This is also why you're now saying some people saying that Elon Musk is
Exploiting this tragedy and the the fear around these young boys as a marketing
opportunity and actually in response to one of the critical tweets that read gosh feel like you need to leverage every public situation for your
Own aggrandizement much you do know there are hundreds of experts already working. This across multiple countries know hashtag narcissism
Elon said if I am a narcissist which might be true
At least I am a useful as far as why Elon and the team have moved forward with this even though the boys in Thailand
Are being rescued by other means July 8th. We saw Elon tweet mini-sub arriving in about 17 hours hopefully useful
If not, perhaps it will be in a future situation
now as far as how the boys in Thailand are actually being rescued we've learned a few details to
Divers for every boy being rescued boys are wearing full face masks and being given multiple wetsuits so they can regulate their body temperature
Better but like I said that is where we are
This is kind of an offshoot of the main story, but I do want to pass the question off to you
How are you personally receiving Elon Musk continued connection with this story?
even though the boys are currently being rescued right now by other means you feel that it's still motivated as in let's continue to put
This out because hey worst-case scenario. This is available where you of the mindset. This is clear exploitation of a tragedy
