Don't bother leaving an "unsubscribe" comment. If you're spreading conspiracy theories and mocking or shaming victims and survivors of a school shooting, I don't think you're in the right place anyways. Shoutout to the rest of you Beautiful Bastards for your continued support.
Philip DeFranco like zero conspiracy theories have ever turned out to be true so shame on us collectively for questioning the official narrative. I won't unsub. Lol why leave when there are so many hot takes to be had 😂🤣
TO the boy that saved the rest of his class by literally taking five bullets, and surviving. What a god among men, bravest fucking heart out there man.
I'd like to say he deserves a solid platinum medal, but honestly, nothing short of a good life with genuine, loving relationships with friends and partners and the opportunity to follow his dreams would be good enough to repay his heroism.
I seriously hope that his GoFundMe gets that kid has enough money to live the rest of his life in the "lap of luxury". He absolutely deserves nothing less. The kid's a hero.
Problem with hog. Is. He gave 2 completely different stories. 1. The most popular. He was in the classroom when shooting broke out. Ok 2. He went in tv said. He heard about it on news. Then rode his bike back to school to investigate
I'm admittedly not much of a supporter of any military (imo far too much money is put into them world-wide), but goddamn that did hit me. What a genuine and heartfelt act for a hero. He more than deserved it, and it's an incredible shame he isn't alive to recieve it.
This is literally the best way, I've EVER seen, to cover a tragedy. Please keep never shying away from the reality of the stories you cover. You, your support staff, and (ESPECIALLY) your research team are filling a necessary role in this post-TV world.
I don't think that anyone is shaming "victims." Rather, people are pointing out that David Hogg is the one who is actually doing the shaming. He is a profane personification of selfish egotism that results when you give fame to someone who the media decides should be a spokesman for a cause that most people don't support (i.e., gun control). Hogg is entitled to his views. He is entitled to use all 15 minutes of fame that the press gives him. However, we also have a right to call him out when he simply insults almost everyone who doesn't believe with his calls for massive government regulation or a loss of a constitutional right.
Well said. Hogg is the offensive "shamer" in this scenario. It's so obvious and yet DeFranco misses it. Everyone who disagrees with this child is a murderer?!! Now THAT'S offensive.
Agreed, boy has a lot of hate and it isn't about guns! Keep an eye on this one! Profanity like that would not be allowed on TV if it wasn't an agenda. And putting parents down because they can't message ( something like that) and let's not forget the shaved headed girl with the Cuban flag patch on her arm!!! Use common sense !
The problem is they're funded by all sorts of organizations and lobbying groups, like the NRA. They're fancy cars and big houses are paid for by people with an agenda to push, and if they want to get or stay in power, they have to serve the people who pay their bills, personal and campaign. Even the best of person can't stay pure when the system is corrupt to the very core - while people turn a blind eye and pretend everything's all fine.
"I will guard everything within the limits of my post and quit my post only when properly relieved." You are relieved cadet Wang, lay now and rest. -US Army Vet
Bias aside, The media only allows kids who share their agenda to speak. There are SO many other kids with many other different beliefs. Proof it's all about politics. Because of this I'm going to completely ignore and mock anything these people say
Grand Plebe I've heard of some that spoke with the shooter AFTER the shooting and assumed it was someone else. That doesn't quite have enough merit in my opinion though. It's well known that he tried to blend in after it was all said and done. Not saying it's not possible though. There have been so many lies by law enforcement lately and even not so lately. Coverups are all too common.
Grand Plebe People wouldn't be freaking out if the media didn't choose to run with this story. So many shootings have gone untelevised and no one cared. Although it's an absolute tragedy, school shootings have been on a steady decline. It's all just a stunt to get an agenda passed and an election won. Their version of legislation means unconstitutional laws. They've already done other things lile the clear backpack policy, where all the students pushing for MORE government intervention and the taking of rights complained because they got just that - more government and less rights. They don't care. They just want a gun grab.
I rarely cry, but the story about Peter Wang specifically made me tear up. The courage those students and faculty showed, regardless of your opinions on their politics, is undeniable. Good people and a damn shame we lost any of them.
adults in 2017- oh, geez, kids are so disconnected. i wish they'd show some interest in what's going on. what a lost generation adults in 2018 - kids have no place voicing their opinion in grown-up business. they're not interested, they're being coached!
Josh Haviland so in your opinion what would have stopped this shooter? Personally, I think if he didn’t have guns in the first place he wouldn’t be able to shoot anyone.
I'm not an emotional person whatsoever, but those acts of heroism you talked about today made me tear up. It heartbreaking seeing that these amazing people who willingly gave up their lives to help protect people against the actions of one disgusting human being.
He did a lot more than "bring a tear to my eye" as it were. But I know what you mean. Those kids, and those teachers are absolute freaking heroes, and I sincerely hope their names are never forgotten. I seriously wish I had some extra money, I would totally give to that GoFundMe campaign. It's terribly sad to me, that a hero like that, who would risk his own life, should have to be in a position where he has to do something like that in the first place. Kid should be honored, respected, and damn well taken care of for the rest of his life. But maybe that's just me being a bit emotional after hearing all of those stories.
Anthony Borges is a true hero. His actions brought chills into my spine. Hope he is going to recover quickly! The world needs more people like him, people with more compassion towards others.
I know Phil describes himself as a commentator and not a journalist, but when he breaks down various claims and presents the most accurate version of the current information we have available, he is demonstrating the sort of research and impartiality that we should expect from a true journalist. Good on you Phil.
Laughing Achilles: While he originally started out as a journalist, he actually now has a team that does research for him and help create a script so he can accurately go over the material he wants to. In saying this, I'm not at all saying he's not as intelligible as he comes off, but some of the stories he goes over and breaks down, he still talks to his team about it. It's another reason why I love his channel. He really is willing to have a conversation about these topics...
I realize there are already 11k comments, and it's likely no one will read this, but I want to say thank you. As a gun-owning, 2nd Amendment supporter, I appreciate speaking out as you are. Supporting stricter controls doesn't immediately equate to getting rid of them completely. I carry one for work, and have one at home to protect my family (we live outside of town and away from fast response). There's got to be a (safer) common ground we can all find without berating and slandering each other.
I agree, too. I think the conversation needs to remain open. I see a lot of troubled kids getting these guns and destroying so many lives. I think we can find a way to reduce these mass murders.
David, we need people like you to shut down the loud voices that keep talking over the truth and logic in order to insist that gun control = no guns. I personally would love of every gun melted into a puddle in a blink of an eye, but that simply isn't a rational solution, and not one that is even being considered. But to listen to these "they want to take away our guns" you would think that my fantasy was the only other option to having guns. I plead with you too speak to other gun owners!
Of course we can, but the NRA lobbyists don't care about those who are the victims of the terrible restrictions. To get something like this done and through, we all need to vote those awful congresspeople out
The names you mentioned at the end brought tears to my eyes. It’s amazing how those teachers and students stepped up so selflessly. The thought of death far from their minds, and the thought of life for OTHERS and not their own in the forefront. Rest In Peace, and rise in glory. For the recovering students, I seriously hope they get the Justice they deserve.
I felt the same way, especially when they talked about Peter's posthumous admission into West Point. These kids had goals and dreams. Now suddenly all of that is cut off.
The USA is a very unusual country. most other countries when a crisis like this happens it pulls the country together but yet in the US it seems to be causing division.
Because USA is very split on the gun issue in general (not strong background check, which 90% support). Some people think these mass shootings are staged by "deep state".
The funniest thing about the whole David Hogg California thing is just how many people forgot YOU CAN TRAVEL ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN LESS THAN SEVERAL MONTHS! Like what. Do they think it takes a year to get from Cali to Florida? "Oh he couldn't have been at school in Florida in february, why he was just in California in august!" How is that even a fucking argument?
"Some shit going wrong" was a confrontation between a lifeguard and a random dude. The guy didn't survive two school shootings, and the first video didn't even have an agenda to push did it? The guy is good-looking and seems somewhat comfortable in front of a camera, it makes sense for news outlets to interview him when they get on the scene. Sure the possibility of a random guy being interviewed for two randoms events in different states is low, but outright dismissing the possibility solely based on that fact is fucking absurd. By that logic, anyone ever hit by lightning is lying because the probability is too low, no one ever won the lottery because it's one big conspiracy with paid actors/winners and extremely rare diseases are all faked by people because there's almost no chance of getting them.
My goodness Phil, I am not a liberal by any stretch of the imagination, but you sir, are a breath of fresh air in these crazy times. Thank you for presenting the news in an unbiased way and, usually, making it clear when you are giving your opinion. This is why I come back to the PDS everyday to get the news.
Wylie for the billionth time: Good intentions will never rule the masses. "Human factor" is always and will always be there, thats why none of the "liberal" fairy tale policies can make the civilisation develop.
There are a specific group of people that can't stand actual truth or facts. I mean the White House literally came up with a new name for their lies under Trump, "Alternative facts". That way they can tell all the lies they want, and people will still believe it to be a "type of fact".
watch this Live ABC broadcast at mark 8:55 ruclips.net/video/WeXOXeJHRqc/видео.html and compare it with video captured by DavidHogg here at 1:40 mark.. ruclips.net/video/gZVioBDjFeM/видео.html see both are same clips kid in yellow shirt, bag and shorts, hands behind his head which is real and who really captured it ABC or DavidHogg? are these pre-recorded clips? or fabricated media coverage?
The heroes who gave their life to protect others really deserve to be shown. I can't imagine how hard it would have been for the last guy to shield his classmates with his own body. That is real heroism. The one who opened the door, so the other students can get in was heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. These kids and adults deserve a salute and plenty of respect
That's a really twisted way of looking at it. You're turning it into like a narrative, a story, where there are villains and heroes, but this, pragmatically, is about a kid's ability to legally acquire a weapon to mow down his schoolmates. You Americans are so screwed up in believing you're better off with that ease to acquire mass murder machines. Just imagine if in Canada or something had atomic bombs on offer in Walmart, but you had to be above 16 to acquire them, and maybe pass some intelligence test. There might be politics about restricting hydrogen bombs, but fission bombs are totally on the table, because some 200 year old document says it's so. That's how the rest of the civilised world looks at United "One School Shooting Every Other Day" States of America.
Atticus you can disagree with our laws without tactlessly disrespecting children who lost their lives. if this was a terror incident or a natural disaster and people sacrificed themselves to save the lives of others what would be so wrong with honoring them? how is this different? we know that its not a story, its real and contains the depth and subtlety that comes with that, but its ridiculous to say that these people dont deserve recognition. most americans agree theres a problem with the system, but frankly you make the whole movement of stricter gun laws look bad.
How can you say that calling people who sacrificed so much so that other students and teachers could live on heroes is a twisted way of looking at it. Just because you call someone a hero doesn't mean it's all of a sudden a story with villains and a plot. It just means that we, collectively as proud americans respect and honor people like Aaron Feis who gave up so much to allow others to live on and I think you saying that it has nothing to do with what went on inside the school and only has to do with the shooter is very messed up and disrespectful to all who were lost or scarred in this truly awful event. But, while there is work to be done in the "gun department" of America, comparing a gun to an atomic bomb is just outrageous and we all know it. Finally, we don't just blindly follow "some 200-year-old document" while we do use it as a source of guidance there is still room for discussion which these brave high school students are trying to do in Florida.
Phil should actually read that T-shirt since he failed to fact check Logans suicide story before using his triggered feelings to attack the 22 yr old prankster despite the evidence that it was staged, dead body was a paid actor. 'Matty Love 2 debunks' video has the evidence
The child from Florida calling for a bill to be passed that would literally do the exact opposite of what she wants is more of a leader than the leaders who voted down that bill? Mkay.
i love it when you give the disclaimer to feel free to unsubscribe like nah ive been here almost 10 years if i can make it past the backwards hat and ear piercings, i can make it past anything
I am horrified and fucking disgusted at the sheer number of people beneath who don't believe this is the truth. After countless Snopes articles. After post after post. Cell phone videos posted. Facial injuries. The stories, the tremors of fear and sadness. FACT CHECKING SHOWS THEY ARE TELLING THE TRUTH. How much will it take for assholes to stop attacking children?
Tech Showdown I 100% agree with you. Any major thing that has happen is a conspiracy theory, the Nevada shooting, the Manchester bombing, 9/11. I can't stand people who make these conspiracy theories.
Tech Showdown I think it might be overall untrustworthy news sources for both the left and right sides. People don't trust what they hear on the news and so they try to find out what "actually" happened at which point our unwillingness to accept our own wrongdoing steps in and they refuse to change their mind that maybe they are telling the truth about what happened
So, I'm pro gun. I think guns save lives. But how fucking hard would it be to require a psyche evaluation and a clean record be required to purchase a gun? Seems more logical and less emotionaly biased to me.
Browski Maynonaise it should be easy if you're a stable law abiding citizen but it is easy for a lunatic to get a gun if he hasn't no mental history or crime history
As someone who owns a gun, I totally agree. I personally think that it's about making gun sales as simple and easy as possible to maximize profit for gun sellers, which shouldn't take priority over public safety, but when your government is financially motivated it's what happens.
Oh wow, that story of the JROTC members really hit me hard. I thought I was pretty news fatigued about this story, but I'm actually crying a little bit when it comes to that part. It's really touching that people did that to remember him and the things that he did. It might be a bit of an over-reaction but yeah, this is the part of the story which REALLY got to me.
I teared up as well. It hits you really hard when you hear about the hopes and dreams of those who passed. Makes it so much more real. All of them had bright futures.
I cried so much at the end where Phil addressed the victims and what some of them have done to protect the others. Those are real people. Great people. They put their own lives behind. May their souls rest in peace.
I would be fine with defunding government schools, which are in reality indoctrination centers. H.L. Mencken said “The most erroneous assumption is to the effect that the aim of public education is to fill the young of the species with knowledge and awaken their intelligence, and so make them fit to discharge the duties of citizenship in an enlightened and independent manner. Nothing could be further from the truth. The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all; it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality. That is its aim in the United States, whatever the pretensions of politicians, pedagogues and other such mountebanks, and that is its aim everywhere else.”
big fan, Phil. You're keeping it real, and you stand your ground but are not polarizing. Any intelligent, reasonable person would give you a chance. Keep it up
Just watched 'Matty Love 2 debunks' and find it interesting how Phil goes on about facts over feelings yet he didn't even fact-check Logans vlog to see that it was faked, ie dead body was a paid actor, before relentlessly attacking him in every video..
he is wring David Hogg was 17 years old 6 month ago. Proof: ruclips.net/video/K9Gb41JJA1o/видео.html Do the math, this guy is not an high school student.
As an AR-15 owner, I 100% agree we need harsher background checks. Shoot I'll even go as far as adopting a Califorina law where there is a 5-10 day waiting period to receive your gun and this is coming from a Native Texan who loves the 2nd Amendment. I don't need the gun right off the bat. In addition, we need to fix the FBI and the process in which they background check. Thoroughly go through someone's background and check every social media he/she uses. If they see one threat/comment put them down as threat or under suspicion. Also I am not surprised that INFO WARS started a conspiracy. That is how they thrive on the internet. It is a troll channel that should not get attention. That being said that is my 2 cents and I could go longer, Congrats on the 6mil subs
The FBI dropping the ball is IMO the biggest issue around the whole thing. The guy should not have been able to get the gun based on what we now know, but the FBI didn't do their job.
Left, right... same thing. Coke or Pepsi. Two wings on one bird. It's all a part of the establishments divide and conquer strategy. Keep people brainwashed into a left-right paradigm without being able to think outside of it..... makes the public easier to control. Are you familiar with something called "Hegelian Dialectic"? I urge you to search it here on RUclips. You may find it quite enlightening. Peace and love.
Honestly teared up at this video. You’re right and honest in your response to the treatments of these kids. Thanks Phil, you constantly remind me that there’s sanity in the world still.
Thank you for being even-handed. It is easy to go extremely one way or another. I just found your page via this RUclips video, and have now subscribed. Looking forward to checking out your other content
A world where porn is deemed a public health risk but guns that can mow down groups of people in under a minute falling into the hands of an insane man isn't an issue. WTF?!
MrJaaaaake right, porn and video games are the issue here not the fact that you can get automatic weapons even though you have a criminal history. RIIIIIIIIIGHT.
"look at him struggle to remember his lines after the incident." i was in a car accident a few years back. i had the greenlight and was passing through an intersection. failing to see he didn't have the right away, i got hit on the drivers side of the car, more toward the hood than the door. airbags deployed, drivers side window was smashed, spiderweb like cracks all over the windshield, and the sound of my horn just blaring. i was stunned. i just remember stepping out of my car and feeling like it was a dream. it didn't feel real. i had a small fracture in my foot, and for several minutes didn't even realize it. i remember talking to the first officer on the scene. i was fumbling words. i was shaking. i was nervous. i guess i couldn't remember my lines, right? i'm not trying to sit here and say "i know what this kid feels like," but if a crash that totaled my car and placed me in a cast had me so riled up like that, i cannot imagine what was going through that kids head at the time of the interview. his classmates and friends were shot. some killed. people making comments like "look at him struggle" are a part of the group that has never endured real trauma in their life to any degree. shame on those people. hope you rot in hell.
I'm sorry you went through that. Thanks for trying to give us all a sense of what it actually feels like to try and speak after a life-threatening incident. It can help us understand other people better, and to have more empathy.
Parkland along with Sandy Hook, the Boston bombing and 9/11 just to name a few have so many hole in them that all you have to do is give it more than ten minutes of your time and a little critical thinking to see right through them. To say that we are shaming victims by asking logical questions is shutting down honest debate
Deepto Chatterjee the thing is I don’t think he was tripping over his words. To me he was trying not to cry, it was the behaviour of someone talking about something deeply distressing to him and he was stopping talking so that he didn’t burst into tears. It also explains why the person off camera was saying it was ok.... because they knew he was upset and trying to help calm him.
Half the country is... most in the comments section has never experienced something like this... Yet claim that they'd be better at speaking if it was them... yeah, sure...
Deepto is being sarcastic, Amadeu... I was once part of a 2-min documentary (as a favor to a friend) about how teenagers can easily buy booze because a lot of clerks don't check IDs (I live in Austria). I was supposed to give my conclusion after I managed to buy booze and couldn't finish a complete sentence because I knew this was gonna be on TV. Now pair that with having been shot at and dead schoolmates currently being prepared for their funeral and you are gonna have a lot of stuttering.
Holy fuck. I'm nearly in tears hearing about those people who lost their lives protecting students and pupils. There is nothing more amazing than that level of selflessness in a moment of insanity. They deserve their faces shown more than the shooter or anyone else involved
It doesn't seem like Phil is in the mood, but still, congrats on 6 Million! Thanks for keeping me up to date with everything and I'm sure you'll continue to grow!
Phil went after a 22 yr old RUclips prankster because he let his triggered feelings get in the way of using his half brain to fact check Logans suicide story. He almost ruined his career, the police confimred it was fake in 'Matty Love debunks' video
Yeah, I love Phil and I think he's a great content creator yet i'm starting to worry that his emotions might be contributing to emotional biases, and thus skewing his objectivity. I've noticed a few people at my college said they stopped listening to Phil because they feel he's transformed from semi-objective news, with partial opinion, to overwhelming, and unprofessional, emotional rants. I had to disagree, yet I believe continuing to do so would be subjective of me on my part, due to possible mere-exposure effect. Overall I enjoy getting my news from Phil, and sincerely hope will be able to take his work with seriousness in the future.
Johnny Bouy He didn't do anything to Logan's career. If you're just gonna spit bullshit in the comments, don't comment. Logan is fine and will be perfectly fine on RUclips.
Unsubscribe?! I've never seen any of your videos before this one and this video is all it took for me to subscribe. I hope to see more awesome content from you! Love the critical thinking
Ya know what really just fucks me up? We have this 15 year old American hero who used his actual body to shield other humans from bullets who we should be celebrating and giving the higest of respects and honor too. And instead we have to worry about how his family will pay for the treatment keeping him alive. How they will afford his recovery when he finally gets to go home. How they’ll afford the changes his home may need so he can live a full life. We’re more worried about the guns and the bullets than the children taking them to the chest. And it really fucks me up.
I believe that the people of his community, and those of the internet, are alleviating that worry. They're doing what communities, charity groups, and crisis groups have done for a long time. Helping those in need. If even just under an 1/8th of Phil's audience go to that page and donate, that family will receive all the funding for future assistance he'll need for years. This is something people can do, can tangibly do without having to wait for lawmakers, politicians, etc. So it actually really gives me hope for society when I see people pulling together for strangers after a tragedy like this.
It really fucked that it is that easy for a teen to get a gun than a beer or smoke in America. We care about the gun cause that is the where the problems are. We can try being positive about the heroes and they surviving but how long does it take till the next "Mass" Shooting? Maybe Weeks or Months. And i think that we as a big community can help donating small amounts that helps out family.
Xotr illegal drugs and all that is easy to get ahold of too, bans just don't work never have never will. I can get whatever I want whenever I want with enough money and no law is going to change that.
How is him hesitating while talking about his experiences evidence that he’s acting?? I have trouble speaking about my car accident years later; can’t imagine how hard it is for him to talk about the shooting to media within the same week.
If you research body language, it is obvious that they are acting. It's not even close to real. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the government and media are evil.
What is an assult weapon? A rifle? Ok, a pistol? Ya, how about a knife or a car? The answer is all of the above, anything can be used as an assult wepon
Listening to Peter Wang's story had me in tears. I can't imagine the amount of courage and nobility that he and his fellow heroes had to save other's lives. And as a high school student, I hope I'd have to courage to do the same
He exemplified everything someone within our military should possess. Courage, action, the ability to think of others before himself. He served his country so proudly and selflessly before he was even able to enlist. He was ((and will be remembered as)) a true american hero, and a truly courageous man.
My final paper last semester was conspiracy theories surrounding the Sandy Hook shooting. I felt so gross and dirty typing about the bullshit that I was researching. Thank you for discussing this.
I'm pretty sure if the government is going to arrange a disaster for whatever reason, they're just going to do it and innocents be damned, they're not going to have actors
Jess Belmosto I hate whenever there is a mass shooting all the conspiracy theories come out saying that it was a false flag attack to take our guns,that nobody was actually killed. no it's not these parents actually fucking lost their children! You sick deranged people
That's like saying no one knew Pearl Harbor was going to get bombed yet there's North Korea warning FDR and yet he did nothing and allowed it to happen... the government does shit u don't agree or believe all the time question everything!
"The people that are no longer with us, they are not acting, they are dead." I never thought that they were acting in the first place, but damn man, that hit me. Being that kid's age, thinking of what'd happen if I were him... yeah, that comment really hit home
can you imagine if fake news had been around during columbine. this is completely insane. those kids man, as if going through that wasn't enough, now they have to deal with assholes saying they are actors. seriously think about the ptsd those kids are gonna have, of course they're not acting "normal" have you ever lived through a shooting like that! fuckin hell. i was jumped on the street once and i was spaced out for a month, afraid to go outside. you don't know if you haven't lived through it. have some fucking empathy.
problem being there is a huge disconnect with people online. I highly doubt they would say such things to these kids in person. what frustrates me is that the people criticising the kids do not listen to them before they voice their opinion. they listen to the media and everyone else before listening to the kids.
The boy that saved 20 students receiving 5 shots by blocking the door to protect the kids...that`s a hero. I`ve never given a like to this channel but here is a mega like for Phillip. Im so sorry this has happened.
I acknowledge the little boy because I was touched just as much as the others. Please do not make this post an issue in this sensitive matter or I will delete it.
I feel bad for the kids, of course, all of the dead, injured, and traumatized. But it would be disastrous to legislate based on feelings. There's a reason why rape victims don't make rape laws.
Phil should actually read that T-shirt since he failed to fact check Logans suicide story before using his triggered feelings to attack the 22 yr olld prankster despite the evidence that it was staged. 'Matty Love 2 debunks' video has the evidence
Both sides mock tragedy against "the other side". Democrats mocked the victims of Las Vegas because, being a country music concert, it was automatically assumed the victims were Republicans/Conservative. They mocked the shooting of Steven Scalise at baseball practise. All of it is disgusting, all of it.
Its not about mocking the victims, For example until I watched this video i thought the david kid was a crisis actor just cause there was all the evidence presented that was too much to say that there wasn't something really weird, but all ended up fitting together and making sense because of phils video. Its a natural fear for people who value their 2nd amendment rights. I would much rather just pray for the victims familys. do a charity for the familys so they could burry their kids without spending a penny. instead its met with immediate stress about how now i have to educate every progressive about how weapons work and why a ban wouldn't fix anything. they take a tragedy and use it as political points to literally infringe upon the rights of others
imagine genuinely believing that the emotions and opinions of children aren't worth listening to just because they're young, especially when they're the victims of something terrible like this
Very interesting Phil talks about facts over feelings when he didn't even fact check Logans suicide vlog before attacking the 22 yr old prankster in several videos. The police confirmed it was fake in Matty Love's 'Logan and RUclips collude'
Imagine genuinely not researching and attempting to debunk a theory based on 'muh emotionz' that really aren't worth listening to, just because you are a waman, young, especially when you're also married to the state and want it to be the only one armed.
Hey man. I've said this before but it always gets lost. Can you please please add close captioning to your videos? My fiance and I watch it but she has a severe hearing loss and has a really hard time keeping up.
Stonewind DeCool sometimes waiting a few weeks for auto captioning to take effect works but that's rare and defeats the purpose of watching a current events/new video.
I believe it would be time consuming for phil and his team to add that on their own and the show wouldn't come out on time. Google does automatic CC but i'm sure you know how reliable it is.
Ancient Laws yeah auto CC is absolute garbage, and it never comes out at a reasonable time. I don't want to watch 3 week old news videos. And I know it would take a significant amount of work for our man Phil and crew but I am tired of not having anything she can watch with me online... I know it's selfish
This does it. I'm signing up for Defranco Elite. You are the only reasonable human being reporting on the news right now. Thank you for sharing the truth and calling out bullshit. These are scary times but you give me hope man. count me in.
Defranco is alright, though he is not perfect, he is many times better than CNN, Guardian, WSJ, and other fake news. Defranco also has liberal bias so if you wanted to balance out your perspectives, I recommend conservatives like Ben Shapiro or Andrew Klavan from Daily Wire (both brilliant thinkers imo).
I heard two students in my class discussing the theories about the teens and literally laughing at their grief. They talked down on them, and basically called them "dumb liberals". I just wondered how the hell they feel they have the right to belittle victims of a school shooting as if they were more knowledgeable on what a school shooting does to a person. Disgusting.
I AM GOING TO UNSUBSCRIBE, from Lego Magazine. I don't read it anymore. It's a waste of paper. Anyway, good show today Phil. I agree with you all the way.
I think we should all give the Daily Wire a round of applause. Because I’m so sick of seeing the faces and hearing the names of these vile sorry excuses of human beings. And my feelings aside, because “facts don’t care about your feelings.” It has been shown that media coverage of mass shootings seems to cause more shootings. Not video games, movies, offensive jokes, or gun laws. It’s almost like these shooters want to become famous. Let’s not give them what they want.
Patrick Fales You know, you make an interesting point. I always considered it a phenomenon that although violent crime and homicides have gone down in the past decade, the frequency of these mass shootings have increased in that same time. Back in the late 80's and 90's when violent crime was much higher, mass shootings we're less common. It's strange, and I'm stumped in terms of why.
The only time I'd be ok with showing their faces, is if the police haven't caught the suspect yet, and the public needs to be aware of a dangerous armed individual in their area and what they look like, so they can be better prepared and ready to report it.
I agree... don't get me wrong I'm all freedom of speech here.. but sometimes I think it would help a small measure if it was illegal to voice the name of the killers in print and media only being able to refer to them as "the mass shooter" might cut down on the "they'll remember my name" angle some of these shooters suck on...
Oh please. Phil obviously hasn't seen his other shit. *This might be the ONLY good thing Daily Wire has done* . Ben STILL: 1. Debates global warming as if it's not a real issue.
Oh my God, that last student who took five bullets is a hero. I hope he comes out of all his surgeries and gets better. This country needs more of this.
Spybat007 what completely pisses me off is that the politiciand are voting not to DEBATE. its fine to not vote to ban stuff immediately, But to not fucking talk about it?
Spybat007 what should we do short of universal background checks though? That would require a federal registry since so many guns are transferred on the secondary market already. You'd never make that legislation effective without a registry.
Maybe we need to take a multi-step approach to the debate. Some of the things that should be addressed first (in my opinion)... The gun show loop hole, as stated above, in most states if you are buying a gun from either a gun show or from a second hand seller, there is no background check. As a matter of fact in most states there's absolutely no regulations at all when it comes to buying firearms like that. National registry. Believe it or not, there are only a handful of states that require you register your weapon. As a matter of fact, there's almost the same number of states that require it, as there are states that make even the attempt at creating a rifle registry illegal (who exactly is that law protecting?) If your gun is lost or stolen, doesn't it make sense that you should be required to report it? Well not according to 42 states. As the law goes right now, only in 8 states are you required to file a police report if your firearm goes missing for any reason. Additionally, because most firearms aren't registered to specific individuals, all someone has to do, is commit a murder with a gun, on the 1 in a million chance that they're caught, claiming that their gun was stolen is actually a viable way of avoiding prison. Locking devices. This is more about logic and practicality. While a locking device may dissuade a wannabe shooter, they are more for the safety of those around people who legally own guns, and perhaps that person themselves. Because locking devices prevent childhood accidents by a factor of 5 (estimated) (childhood suicide rate by gun is literally 5 times higher than with any other method, although many of these could be simply attributed to accidental discharge). While actually lowering the rate of suicide by gun, by an astounding 46% (estimated). The sad part about these numbers? Literally only one state has laws regarding locking your weapons while not in use, Massachusetts (Massachusetts has the lowest suicide by gun numbers of any state, with only Hawaii getting anywhere close). Only 12 states have any laws at all in regards to gun locks, and 11 of those only pertain to when the gun is bought/sold. Rifles should not automatically be "better" according to the law. As it is right now, even in states that regulate handguns, rifles and their many variations, are somehow immune to most restrictions. I would personally go a step further. I think, honestly, that there should be an annual licensing. And it would require both a physical test, but also a mental one. A mental test that checks for things like severe bi-polar disorder, schizophrenia, impulse control problems, untreated PTSD, extreme gullibility, and violent outbursts under stressors. Ideally such a test would not automatically preclude you from purchasing/owning a firearm, but it would put you on a list that would be monitored. As well as the doctors in charge (it would absolutely need to be a group of them, in order to prevent bias), would be able to deny them a gun for a year. At which point they could be re-evaluated.
Andrew Colburn sure if you don't feel sad and do what he said your a evil person that don't care about children. He said it himself in a news interview "your either with us or against us"
Nathan Contorelli So you think its fine for any 18 year old who clears a background check to buy an assault rifle? I believe in the right to bear arms but not when they are handing them out teenagers. Being 18 makes you an adult but not all 18 year old are "grown up". And regardless if you disagree with his views you shouldn't be supporting the false accusations of him being an "actor" just because he was having trouble talking on camera
That I think is a part of culture of people from 4chan combined with just some nasty people, when they do it in group you feel justified and clean, just as if you waged a war with your country its just however when you attack a group of people with 5 or so armed civilians its not, so numbers give comfort I believe most of these people dont actually believe it but there are so many that have jumped on now a large portion of people do.
You can have any view on guns that you want. You don't fucking mock the survivors of a school shooting, let alone DAYS after it fucking happened. That's emotionally immature and bankrupt. Show some respect.
korcommander there's no need to be suspicious of them, you can just know they are misguided. They probably genuinely believe that guns should be banned, but they don't have a nuanced understanding of the situation. It's right not to allow children to make important decisions especially when they have just gone through massive trauma. Obviously mocking those kids like that is disgusting.
korcommander id say calling them actors while there’s no actual evidence to back it up and while they’re grieving is insulting enough but then to say they’re entitled and make memes about them crying? Disgusting has no place in this world, ESPECIALLY from an elected official
It would reallyhelp if Hogg didn't come across as a bully and appear to be so utterly untrustworthy, especially with his many video's that contradict the others as to timings, events and locations. It would help if Gonzalez hadn't appeared to admit on film that Cruz was bullied throughout his school life, possibly by her. It would help if they hadn't all been caught laughing on camera, suggesting deceit. It would help if these kids were not so overwhelmingly aggressive when attacking everyone who doesn't conform to their agenda, especially Kasky, who probably alienated half of the adult world when he "threatened" Rubio and Gonzalez when she disparaged Dana Loesch; or when slagging off everyone older than themselves. It would help if they didn't lie about what people had said, such as Marco Rubio. In short, these kids have helped create this shitstorm themselves and it would really help if they weren't so clearly disingenuous.
Im the “one of hoggs teenage friends confronting a life gaurd” and this whole situation is hogwash #leavedavidalone. I had to private my instagram because all the hate we were getting and so did our other mutual friends. Why are people so distrusting and disrespectful these days this is just wrong let people grieve, there were real people who are no longer alive why is that so hard to believe.
Fortunately most people aren't actually like this. Conspiracy nuts just like to mob people to make it look like there are more of them then their actually are. Unfortunately being horrible people is all they spend their lives doing.
It's crazy just crazy what ppl are saying to try to desensitize what happened kids died families are crushed and lost forever .....I'm in Canada and I'm effected as a parent how do they not see or feel it's so so frustrating.
My son recommended you to me and I see in your description you talk about using actual facts, which is a rare these days. I'm willing to give you a try. :)
Gravuun, they're really unrelated issues. Btw there are actually tons of studies on the negative effects of porn. They're actually quite compelling legitimate studies. Also, if you knew the ratio of "assault rifles" that exist in the US compared to the number of ones used unlawfully, the evidence kinda does point to the fact that they aren't a threat. It's really the crazy people who are the threat.
Holly M, I don't think anyone said porn kills people. They said it's a public health crisis. Like I said the studies are quite compelling. Also, I said the two are unrelated topics. Comparing the two is ignorant or dishonest
I really liked the part where you said "I don't think anyone said--" immediately following an argument you made moments ago which can be refuted with the exact same statement
I’m English so I don’t fully get all of the background behind keeping guns around (if anyone can explain the significance, other than economic value, that would be appreciated) but honestly there’s a lot about this situation that is stressing me out. One thing being the amount of tweets from older generations complaining about parents using their children as ‘pawns’ for the movements taking place. In my opinion, anyone who can watch these kids speak so strongly and passionately about this topic and tell me that they are not genuine and that they’ve been ‘coached’ can just leave. I’m too vexed about all of this...
Well, people in rural America loves to own weapons to hunt and for their own personal safety. The National Rifle Association essentially pays politicians to block almost all gun reform bills.
I don't question the kids genuine emotions. I questions the efficacy of their proposed legislation or lack thereof. Many are just chanting change like doing so creates an effective policy put of the ether.
so you're not informed, you're not presenting facts, or arguments, but you have emotions. please, do go on. they're 'passionate', you're 'vexxed' and you 'don't fully get it'. you should definitely write legislation.
I saw a video that was Hogg giving an interview and he said he heard about something going on at the school" and so I got my camera and rode my bike to the school." So how can he be in a shooting at the school and be riding up to the school at the same time? Let's give breath to the topic
Sigh, I can't believe I have to keep copying and pasting this response. The "video" you're talking about is a 29-second clip picked out of a much longer interview. When he said he "rode his bike to the school" he meant he did it at around 6pm, after he was finally allowed to leave the locked-down school. He was a member of his school's news team, and went home to get his camera. Just, stop being so needlessly confident that you can simply SAY THINGS without checking that they're true. This misinformation is being spread in part by people like you, who say these falsehoods with such certainty that people can't help but think that you know what you're talking about. Stop it. www.factcheck.org/2018/04/david-hogg-at-school-during-parkland-shooting/ Here's some advice for you. DON'T LISTEN TO SOUNDBITES. Soundbites destroy context and meaning. If you saw 29 SECONDS of someone speaking, and NOTHING else, then you probably have no idea what they said.
as a gun owner myself, I have to say I am all for a discussion on stricter gun laws, it has become increasingly clear that current laws are not enough we need more thorough background checks and an intensive review of medical conditions.
Can't believe this shit is happening so much and getting so bad, that it's actually being called as fake and acting now. America itself is becoming like a tv show for the rest of the world to watch on, this is so disgusting how many lives are actually lost. Just regular people trying to live their lives. Prayers n thoughts, over and over..
You see, you say America is like a TV show, but you probably laughed at Weird Japanese commercials that never come on in America. So don't call America a TV show, if we as humans, get our entertainment from other people who think how we live our lives is weird, and now what they do is weird to us, but normal to them.
Your absolutely right. The way the media and other sources present America is embarrassing, disrespectful, and disgusting. At this point most people don't know what to believe in. Its a sad day and age we live in.
Yeah dunno what you're on about, don't think you do either but anyways I didn't mean it in an offensive manner,. Just how there's so much shit, drama and unneeded deaths going on that you can't escape hearing it. It's like 'what's going to happen in the next episode', or day I should say.
It's not projecting when your name is 'safe space' lmao. Are we going to pretend context doesn't exist? The world isn't black and white, and it's obvious what your opinions are if you don't like this video.
@@1994Godsman Just post this link and/or reply in response to people like him. The "video" you're talking about is a 29-second clip picked out of a much longer interview.

Don't bother leaving an "unsubscribe" comment. If you're spreading conspiracy theories and mocking or shaming victims and survivors of a school shooting, I don't think you're in the right place anyways.
Shoutout to the rest of you Beautiful Bastards for your continued support.
Philip DeFranco thank you
Philip DeFranco Thank you for your continued rationality, Philly D!
Philip DeFranco like zero conspiracy theories have ever turned out to be true so shame on us collectively for questioning the official narrative.
I won't unsub. Lol why leave when there are so many hot takes to be had 😂🤣
Philip DeFranco are the kid survivors gun and 2nd amendment experts?
I love you Phil. Thank you
TO the boy that saved the rest of his class by literally taking five bullets, and surviving. What a god among men, bravest fucking heart out there man.
I'd like to say he deserves a solid platinum medal, but honestly, nothing short of a good life with genuine, loving relationships with friends and partners and the opportunity to follow his dreams would be good enough to repay his heroism.
One love.
I seriously hope that his GoFundMe gets that kid has enough money to live the rest of his life in the "lap of luxury". He absolutely deserves nothing less. The kid's a hero.
They have beat their goal of 500k and are continuing to receive donations for his recovery.
Good, he seriously deserves it and a lot more. The kid nor his parents should ever have to worry about medical expenses at the bare minimum.
the kid getting a militarry burial made me legit cry. i think its a beautiful gesture. condolences to all victims of this event.
Same.
CyberMatryoshka me too😢
same, at work so I had to fight back the tears
CyberMatryoshka same here when I learned he had been accepted to west point as a posthumous honor
yeah this stuff usually impacts me but this one legitimately made me cry
Lmao I was literally typing out "easy way to prove he isn't an actor is just show the yearbook - oh there ya go"
I can show you a ton of yearbook photos of actors......
@@hitmixhyepock9405 Actors do go to school so of course.
Problem with hog. Is. He gave 2 completely different stories. 1. The most popular. He was in the classroom when shooting broke out. Ok
2. He went in tv said. He heard about it on news. Then rode his bike back to school to investigate
I don't know about anyone else, but it broke my heart seeing Peter Wang's admission letter to Westpoint
Cheddybear05 Same. What a terrible day for rain ;_;7
I'm of the opinion that we spend too much on our military as a nation, but God damn that was such a beautiful act.
Yes totally agree. I also wish poeple talked about those heroic act more often.
Cheddybear05 I got a lump in my throat just hearing it
I'm admittedly not much of a supporter of any military (imo far too much money is put into them world-wide), but goddamn that did hit me. What a genuine and heartfelt act for a hero. He more than deserved it, and it's an incredible shame he isn't alive to recieve it.
This is literally the best way, I've EVER seen, to cover a tragedy. Please keep never shying away from the reality of the stories you cover. You, your support staff, and (ESPECIALLY) your research team are filling a necessary role in this post-TV world.
Not gonna lie. Cried a little at the kid being admitted to the military school
me to =/
Not alone there, made me tear up a work. :(
dear god, me too. i’m still all tearful over it.
Me too!
What a hero!!
I don't think that anyone is shaming "victims." Rather, people are pointing out that David Hogg is the one who is actually doing the shaming. He is a profane personification of selfish egotism that results when you give fame to someone who the media decides should be a spokesman for a cause that most people don't support (i.e., gun control).
Hogg is entitled to his views. He is entitled to use all 15 minutes of fame that the press gives him. However, we also have a right to call him out when he simply insults almost everyone who doesn't believe with his calls for massive government regulation or a loss of a constitutional right.
Well said. Hogg is the offensive "shamer" in this scenario. It's so obvious and yet DeFranco misses it.
Everyone who disagrees with this child is a murderer?!! Now THAT'S offensive.
Agreed, boy has a lot of hate and it isn't about guns! Keep an eye on this one! Profanity like that would not be allowed on TV if it wasn't an agenda. And putting parents down because they can't message ( something like that) and let's not forget the shaved headed girl with the Cuban flag patch on her arm!!!
Use common sense !
Eloquent post, and spot on.
Hogg literally lied about him being there on public tv
No I'll shame him. Hogg is an Asshole using a tragedy to push an agenda. Shame on him.
couldn't have said it any better myself St. Philip 🙏
Jesus Christ I found your channel from Complexhowell and I love it. 😂
And yes, Phil is the best news channel on youtube. Everything is well said!
Thanks Jesus
Jesus Christ pray for the recovery of these children
Jesus Christ OMG it's pewdiepie's Jesus!!! Haha 😄
Jesus Christ, it's Jesus Christ.
I feel like politicians literally live in a completely different world than us. They act like it.
The Groovy Guitar Dude - Daily Guitar Lessons it’s called Capitol Hill. A magical place where everyone is shielded from reality
Guess who puts them in power? We have to take responsibility of our democracy
Josh Patterson pretty sure once anyone gets there they will be corrupted by the government.
The Groovy Guitar Dude - Daily Guitar Lessons They do since they are protected by armed guards funded by the money we are taxed.
The problem is they're funded by all sorts of organizations and lobbying groups, like the NRA. They're fancy cars and big houses are paid for by people with an agenda to push, and if they want to get or stay in power, they have to serve the people who pay their bills, personal and campaign.
Even the best of person can't stay pure when the system is corrupt to the very core - while people turn a blind eye and pretend everything's all fine.
"I will guard everything within the limits of my post and quit my post only when properly relieved."
You are relieved cadet Wang, lay now and rest.
-US Army Vet
This made me cry. As a teen living in the US with his dad in Denmark serving for the Danish army, this made me remember him and cry.
God, thank you, this cry made me forget the disgusting politics. It was wholesome. I want to cry typing this, this literally cracked my heart.
Best internet comment ever John. Perfect.
Thank you for your service and thank you for this post. Some faith in humanity restored. May cadet Wang rest in peace.
Ouch. That hurt my heart.
Bias aside, The media only allows kids who share their agenda to speak. There are SO many other kids with many other different beliefs. Proof it's all about politics. Because of this I'm going to completely ignore and mock anything these people say
Grand Plebe I've heard of some that spoke with the shooter AFTER the shooting and assumed it was someone else. That doesn't quite have enough merit in my opinion though. It's well known that he tried to blend in after it was all said and done.
Not saying it's not possible though. There have been so many lies by law enforcement lately and even not so lately. Coverups are all too common.
Grand Plebe People wouldn't be freaking out if the media didn't choose to run with this story. So many shootings have gone untelevised and no one cared.
Although it's an absolute tragedy, school shootings have been on a steady decline. It's all just a stunt to get an agenda passed and an election won.
Their version of legislation means unconstitutional laws. They've already done other things lile the clear backpack policy, where all the students pushing for MORE government intervention and the taking of rights complained because they got just that - more government and less rights.
They don't care. They just want a gun grab.
I rarely cry, but the story about Peter Wang specifically made me tear up. The courage those students and faculty showed, regardless of your opinions on their politics, is undeniable. Good people and a damn shame we lost any of them.
David Cameron Same, it’s just so cool that the military honored them like that.
Im glad to know im not the only one who was moved to tears by the stories of these heroes.
David Cameron me too!!!
David Cameron: Same here.
I’m not at all ashamed to say I cried when I heard about Wang getting admitted posthumously to West Point.
I did too. Glad he got some kind of recognition for his heroism.
Same. I am crying my eyes out here.
same. it almost sounds like phil got chocked about while mentioning it as well
Same and then even more when I heard about the kid who saved his class
Same here, I dont even have the courage to join the ROTC, this kid did, and then served in his school saving his classmates.
adults in 2017- oh, geez, kids are so disconnected. i wish they'd show some interest in what's going on. what a lost generation
adults in 2018 - kids have no place voicing their opinion in grown-up business. they're not interested, they're being coached!
Kryptonite the problem being the kids are pushing a misinformed opinion
You just summed up all of my anger
Josh Haviland so in your opinion what would have stopped this shooter? Personally, I think if he didn’t have guns in the first place he wouldn’t be able to shoot anyone.
Josh Haviland Or maybe the kids just have their own opinions on things?
Exactly. Damned if we do and damned if we don't.
@Philip Defranco you SIR are the voice of reason and the RARE EPITOME of COMMON SENSE!
I'm not an emotional person whatsoever, but those acts of heroism you talked about today made me tear up. It heartbreaking seeing that these amazing people who willingly gave up their lives to help protect people against the actions of one disgusting human being.
I feel you my man, I feel you. Amen to these kids. One love to their souls and their families. May they rest for now on.
Actually had the same response.... these feels
im the same way it brought a tear to my eye and I was so happy when I heard that kid was doing better
He did a lot more than "bring a tear to my eye" as it were. But I know what you mean. Those kids, and those teachers are absolute freaking heroes, and I sincerely hope their names are never forgotten. I seriously wish I had some extra money, I would totally give to that GoFundMe campaign. It's terribly sad to me, that a hero like that, who would risk his own life, should have to be in a position where he has to do something like that in the first place.
Kid should be honored, respected, and damn well taken care of for the rest of his life.
But maybe that's just me being a bit emotional after hearing all of those stories.
Anthony Borges is a true hero. His actions brought chills into my spine. Hope he is going to recover quickly! The world needs more people like him, people with more compassion towards others.
I know Phil describes himself as a commentator and not a journalist, but when he breaks down various claims and presents the most accurate version of the current information we have available, he is demonstrating the sort of research and impartiality that we should expect from a true journalist.
Good on you Phil.
Sadly most journalists aren't good journalists
Laughing Achilles impartial lol
FTN Iceberg how is he not impartial?
Laughing Achilles: While he originally started out as a journalist, he actually now has a team that does research for him and help create a script so he can accurately go over the material he wants to. In saying this, I'm not at all saying he's not as intelligible as he comes off, but some of the stories he goes over and breaks down, he still talks to his team about it. It's another reason why I love his channel.
He really is willing to have a conversation about these topics...
He does show liberal bias.
It's a bit hard not to be seeing as he's surrounded by it.
Cali-fucking-fornia dumbest place in America.
Banning assault weapons is not the solution.
I realize there are already 11k comments, and it's likely no one will read this, but I want to say thank you. As a gun-owning, 2nd Amendment supporter, I appreciate speaking out as you are. Supporting stricter controls doesn't immediately equate to getting rid of them completely. I carry one for work, and have one at home to protect my family (we live outside of town and away from fast response). There's got to be a (safer) common ground we can all find without berating and slandering each other.
David King hell yes. 100 percent correct sir
Well said. Not everyone deserves to have a gun, we just need some processes that keep the guns out of the hands of the unfit.
I agree, too. I think the conversation needs to remain open. I see a lot of troubled kids getting these guns and destroying so many lives. I think we can find a way to reduce these mass murders.
David, we need people like you to shut down the loud voices that keep talking over the truth and logic in order to insist that gun control = no guns. I personally would love of every gun melted into a puddle in a blink of an eye, but that simply isn't a rational solution, and not one that is even being considered. But to listen to these "they want to take away our guns" you would think that my fantasy was the only other option to having guns. I plead with you too speak to other gun owners!
Of course we can, but the NRA lobbyists don't care about those who are the victims of the terrible restrictions. To get something like this done and through, we all need to vote those awful congresspeople out
The names you mentioned at the end brought tears to my eyes. It’s amazing how those teachers and students stepped up so selflessly. The thought of death far from their minds, and the thought of life for OTHERS and not their own in the forefront. Rest In Peace, and rise in glory. For the recovering students, I seriously hope they get the Justice they deserve.
Jasminé Skeen yep very sad. Whats your instagram cutie??
Jordi El Niño Polla• dude stfu
Jasminé Skeen Your right. I was almost tearing when he talked about Wang.
I felt the same way, especially when they talked about Peter's posthumous admission into West Point. These kids had goals and dreams. Now suddenly all of that is cut off.
Me too :(
I live in a world where pornhub is considered a bigger threat than a gun. ..What is this madness?
Man I didn’t realize that’s what the vote was on
Shinjiji porn actually changes your brain patterns, just saying.
Hunter Zolomon getting shot sure does too
Pornhub is for contraception and jacking off. Those two values are generally not favored by the current US government.
Porn changes brain patterns while bullets remove the brain.
My only question is, will you remove this video now that Hogg's story is falling apart or will you make another video to retract this one?
Billy Murray lmao i hope the latter
It's not falling apart - you're just a shitty person spreading lies.
thats a great question! 😀

The USA is a very unusual country. most other countries when a crisis like this happens it pulls the country together but yet in the US it seems to be causing division.
Reuben Onoba we were like that in 911, but now everyone is making it political.
Because USA is very split on the gun issue in general (not strong background check, which 90% support). Some people think these mass shootings are staged by "deep state".
how're countries in the middle east doing, 'pulling together'? children attacked with acid for attending school and they pull together, eh?
Reuben Onoba most countries are run by thugs that boot ur door down and do terrible things to u. Thank god u are botn in the west.
Hunter Zolomon And your point is? Other countries' faults does not make the faults of the US any more or less severe.
The funniest thing about the whole David Hogg California thing is just how many people forgot YOU CAN TRAVEL ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN LESS THAN SEVERAL MONTHS!
Like what. Do they think it takes a year to get from Cali to Florida? "Oh he couldn't have been at school in Florida in february, why he was just in California in august!" How is that even a fucking argument?
one does not need a brain when one is a conspiracy therorist
Dang, I thought I had to take the Oregon Trail still. MY CHILDHOOD IS A LIE!
Lustle u can’t argue with sheep Bro
Well he was on a news report about some shit going wrong at the beach, that’s where I look and go “ok no one is that unlucky unless on purpose”
"Some shit going wrong" was a confrontation between a lifeguard and a random dude. The guy didn't survive two school shootings, and the first video didn't even have an agenda to push did it?
The guy is good-looking and seems somewhat comfortable in front of a camera, it makes sense for news outlets to interview him when they get on the scene.
Sure the possibility of a random guy being interviewed for two randoms events in different states is low, but outright dismissing the possibility solely based on that fact is fucking absurd.
By that logic, anyone ever hit by lightning is lying because the probability is too low, no one ever won the lottery because it's one big conspiracy with paid actors/winners and extremely rare diseases are all faked by people because there's almost no chance of getting them.
My goodness Phil, I am not a liberal by any stretch of the imagination, but you sir, are a breath of fresh air in these crazy times. Thank you for presenting the news in an unbiased way and, usually, making it clear when you are giving your opinion. This is why I come back to the PDS everyday to get the news.
Being a liberal is literally being a good person. There's not one idea of theirs that hurts another person.
Wylie Phenix yes that's because they rather kill them before they are born.
Wylie for the billionth time: Good intentions will never rule the masses. "Human factor" is always and will always be there, thats why none of the "liberal" fairy tale policies can make the civilisation develop.
Was just hopping through the comments and wanted to say thank you, love yo face, and I will always try to do my best. :)
Depends on your definition of “Liberal”

There are a specific group of people that can't stand actual truth or facts. I mean the White House literally came up with a new name for their lies under Trump, "Alternative facts". That way they can tell all the lies they want, and people will still believe it to be a "type of fact".

see both are same clips
kid in yellow shirt, bag and shorts, hands behind his head
which is real and who really captured it ABC or DavidHogg? are these pre-recorded clips? or fabricated media coverage?
jorge salinas You leave soy boy lover
shut up, what good are you if you don't try to see the world without the pathetic screens these humans use.
what proof, and quote it for me
The heroes who gave their life to protect others really deserve to be shown. I can't imagine how hard it would have been for the last guy to shield his classmates with his own body. That is real heroism. The one who opened the door, so the other students can get in was heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time.
These kids and adults deserve a salute and plenty of respect
One love to them. They will forever be remembered as the heroes they were. Respect from Canada.
im so glad the last kid is alive, hes a true hero
That's a really twisted way of looking at it. You're turning it into like a narrative, a story, where there are villains and heroes, but this, pragmatically, is about a kid's ability to legally acquire a weapon to mow down his schoolmates. You Americans are so screwed up in believing you're better off with that ease to acquire mass murder machines. Just imagine if in Canada or something had atomic bombs on offer in Walmart, but you had to be above 16 to acquire them, and maybe pass some intelligence test. There might be politics about restricting hydrogen bombs, but fission bombs are totally on the table, because some 200 year old document says it's so. That's how the rest of the civilised world looks at United "One School Shooting Every Other Day" States of America.
Atticus you can disagree with our laws without tactlessly disrespecting children who lost their lives. if this was a terror incident or a natural disaster and people sacrificed themselves to save the lives of others what would be so wrong with honoring them? how is this different? we know that its not a story, its real and contains the depth and subtlety that comes with that, but its ridiculous to say that these people dont deserve recognition. most americans agree theres a problem with the system, but frankly you make the whole movement of stricter gun laws look bad.
How can you say that calling people who sacrificed so much so that other students and teachers could live on heroes is a twisted way of looking at it. Just because you call someone a hero doesn't mean it's all of a sudden a story with villains and a plot. It just means that we, collectively as proud americans respect and honor people like Aaron Feis who gave up so much to allow others to live on and I think you saying that it has nothing to do with what went on inside the school and only has to do with the shooter is very messed up and disrespectful to all who were lost or scarred in this truly awful event. But, while there is work to be done in the "gun department" of America, comparing a gun to an atomic bomb is just outrageous and we all know it. Finally, we don't just blindly follow "some 200-year-old document" while we do use it as a source of guidance there is still room for discussion which these brave high school students are trying to do in Florida.
We live in a world where the children act like leaders and our leaders act like children.
Phil should actually read that T-shirt since he failed to fact check Logans suicide story before using his triggered feelings to attack the 22 yr old prankster despite the evidence that it was staged, dead body was a paid actor. 'Matty Love 2 debunks' video has the evidence
The children aren't leaders, they're mouthpieces
Echo
Rommel Well the "mouthpieces" are making way more sense than the leaders ever could.
The child from Florida calling for a bill to be passed that would literally do the exact opposite of what she wants is more of a leader than the leaders who voted down that bill? Mkay.
i love it when you give the disclaimer to feel free to unsubscribe like nah ive been here almost 10 years if i can make it past the backwards hat and ear piercings, i can make it past anything
Jessie Fenton word.
Jessie Fenton word
Word
mah n-word as Phil likes to call it
Hahahahaha
I am horrified and fucking disgusted at the sheer number of people beneath who don't believe this is the truth. After countless Snopes articles. After post after post. Cell phone videos posted. Facial injuries. The stories, the tremors of fear and sadness. FACT CHECKING SHOWS THEY ARE TELLING THE TRUTH. How much will it take for assholes to stop attacking children?
Why does every tragedy in the US turn into a conspiracy? It seems to be the only country in which this happens over and over, I don't get it.
Tech Showdown exactly not every tragedy is a conspiracy there are psychos out there
Tech Showdown I 100% agree with you. Any major thing that has happen is a conspiracy theory, the Nevada shooting, the Manchester bombing, 9/11. I can't stand people who make these conspiracy theories.
Because of aliens
Tech Showdown lots of stuff around the world turn into conspiracies
Tech Showdown I think it might be overall untrustworthy news sources for both the left and right sides. People don't trust what they hear on the news and so they try to find out what "actually" happened at which point our unwillingness to accept our own wrongdoing steps in and they refuse to change their mind that maybe they are telling the truth about what happened
So, I'm pro gun. I think guns save lives. But how fucking hard would it be to require a psyche evaluation and a clean record be required to purchase a gun? Seems more logical and less emotionaly biased to me.
Yeah, it is way too easy right now.
I agree, absolutely.
Christopher Royer It’s already like that
Browski Maynonaise it should be easy if you're a stable law abiding citizen but it is easy for a lunatic to get a gun if he hasn't no mental history or crime history
As someone who owns a gun, I totally agree. I personally think that it's about making gun sales as simple and easy as possible to maximize profit for gun sellers, which shouldn't take priority over public safety, but when your government is financially motivated it's what happens.
Oh wow, that story of the JROTC members really hit me hard. I thought I was pretty news fatigued about this story, but I'm actually crying a little bit when it comes to that part. It's really touching that people did that to remember him and the things that he did. It might be a bit of an over-reaction but yeah, this is the part of the story which REALLY got to me.
kid was a real hero. seemed to have goals and was going to be a leader some day
Ditto. Just right in the feels.
I teared up as well. It hits you really hard when you hear about the hopes and dreams of those who passed. Makes it so much more real. All of them had bright futures.
I'm in JROTC and that hit me the most, especially the kid wanting to go to West Point
Cynical Internet me as well... i couldn't agree more. 😢
Why did he say he rode his bike to the school when he heard about the shooting??
He didn't.
EightThreeEight yes he did in another video
I cried so much at the end where Phil addressed the victims and what some of them have done to protect the others. Those are real people. Great people. They put their own lives behind. May their souls rest in peace.
Clarity those are REAL people, I cannot believe some people actually believe they were actors
Clarity Heroes one and all. God rest their souls and be with their families and friends.
Okay, glad I wasnt the only one who at least watered up

I would be fine with defunding government schools, which are in reality indoctrination centers.
H.L. Mencken said
“The most erroneous assumption is to the effect that the aim of public education is to fill the young of the species with knowledge and awaken their intelligence, and so make them fit to discharge the duties of citizenship in an enlightened and independent manner. Nothing could be further from the truth. The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all; it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality. That is its aim in the United States, whatever the pretensions of politicians, pedagogues and other such mountebanks, and that is its aim everywhere else.”
big fan, Phil. You're keeping it real, and you stand your ground but are not polarizing. Any intelligent, reasonable person would give you a chance. Keep it up
I cried seeing what these kids have to go through now ON TOP of surviving a school massacre. My heart hurts for them.
Just watched 'Matty Love 2 debunks' and find it interesting how Phil goes on about facts over feelings yet he didn't even fact-check Logans vlog to see that it was faked, ie dead body was a paid actor, before relentlessly attacking him in every video..
DEEP STATE how does this even relate to this comment
Peldyn and ask yourself why are you seeing this kids everywhere for what purpose
He's just hopping onto every comment to try to discredit Phil
Where is this evidence?
Phil just got real.
RootedHat and that’s why I love him.
"just"
phil was always real

Phil is a paid liar.
he is wring
David Hogg was 17 years old 6 month ago.

Do the math, this guy is not an high school student.
As an AR-15 owner, I 100% agree we need harsher background checks. Shoot I'll even go as far as adopting a Califorina law where there is a 5-10 day waiting period to receive your gun and this is coming from a Native Texan who loves the 2nd Amendment. I don't need the gun right off the bat.
In addition, we need to fix the FBI and the process in which they background check. Thoroughly go through someone's background and check every social media he/she uses. If they see one threat/comment put them down as threat or under suspicion.
Also I am not surprised that INFO WARS started a conspiracy. That is how they thrive on the internet. It is a troll channel that should not get attention.
That being said that is my 2 cents and I could go longer, Congrats on the 6mil subs
You should just turn in that deadly assault rifle now.
The FBI dropping the ball is IMO the biggest issue around the whole thing. The guy should not have been able to get the gun based on what we now know, but the FBI didn't do their job.
Thank you for your honesty and opinion.
Andrew Switzer No way, Jose(ph Stalin).
Turn in your Rifle tomorrow and Film it. If you think more restrictions are needed then Restrict yourself.
Yawn I'd be happier if You Tube didn't arbitrarily show me your stuff...
But they have to. He's one of RUclips's top mouthpieces.
He's a leftist shill disguised as a centrist
Left, right... same thing. Coke or Pepsi. Two wings on one bird. It's all a part of the establishments divide and conquer strategy. Keep people brainwashed into a left-right paradigm without being able to think outside of it..... makes the public easier to control. Are you familiar with something called "Hegelian Dialectic"? I urge you to search it here on RUclips. You may find it quite enlightening. Peace and love.
He has 6 million fake subscribers.
RUclips is now shown to be a soft target.
Oh wow. Porn is considered to be more dangerous than guns according to the Florida House.
It’s insane
That's just generic Republican thought in the South
right? is this NRA or what?
It's like florida republicans saw the strawman arguments that liberals use to argue against them and thought "hey, we should totally do this".
Well, statistically it is.
Respect for those who died.
Especially for those who block/ shielded ppl. Love you all pls do good.
Just hearing those stories made me tear up. Each of them deserves a medal in my opinion
Honestly teared up at this video. You’re right and honest in your response to the treatments of these kids. Thanks Phil, you constantly remind me that there’s sanity in the world still.
Henry Overos are to ask real questions
Thank you for being even-handed. It is easy to go extremely one way or another. I just found your page via this RUclips video, and have now subscribed. Looking forward to checking out your other content
LMAO, "EVEN-HANDED" GTFOH
Phil I have to say it.... Dude you're fucking good at this. Great show man.
ROLL WITH IT he is good at manipulating sheep.
Nothing else
A world where porn is deemed a public health risk but guns that can mow down groups of people in under a minute falling into the hands of an insane man isn't an issue.
WTF?!
What if porn is causing mental health issues, and the gun is just the outlet?
MrJaaaaake
Is there any solid proof of porn causing mental health issues?
MrJaaaaake right, porn and video games are the issue here not the fact that you can get automatic weapons even though you have a criminal history. RIIIIIIIIIGHT.
Julia Katarina Karanović everything you just said was false.
Va11idus I was being sarcastic you dumbfuck.
"look at him struggle to remember his lines after the incident."
i was in a car accident a few years back. i had the greenlight and was passing through an intersection. failing to see he didn't have the right away, i got hit on the drivers side of the car, more toward the hood than the door.
airbags deployed, drivers side window was smashed, spiderweb like cracks all over the windshield, and the sound of my horn just blaring. i was stunned. i just remember stepping out of my car and feeling like it was a dream. it didn't feel real. i had a small fracture in my foot, and for several minutes didn't even realize it.
i remember talking to the first officer on the scene. i was fumbling words. i was shaking. i was nervous. i guess i couldn't remember my lines, right?
i'm not trying to sit here and say "i know what this kid feels like," but if a crash that totaled my car and placed me in a cast had me so riled up like that, i cannot imagine what was going through that kids head at the time of the interview. his classmates and friends were shot. some killed.
people making comments like "look at him struggle" are a part of the group that has never endured real trauma in their life to any degree. shame on those people. hope you rot in hell.
I'm sorry you went through that. Thanks for trying to give us all a sense of what it actually feels like to try and speak after a life-threatening incident. It can help us understand other people better, and to have more empathy.
Parkland along with Sandy Hook, the Boston bombing and 9/11 just to name a few have so many hole in them that all you have to do is give it more than ten minutes of your time and a little critical thinking to see right through them. To say that we are shaming victims by asking logical questions is shutting down honest debate
Even when there are literally millions of other events of your life that have “holes” in them? absence of evidence is not evidence of absence
If the boy tripping over his sentences is proof of a conspiracy, then I'm the biggest conspirator ever.
Deepto Chatterjee the thing is I don’t think he was tripping over his words. To me he was trying not to cry, it was the behaviour of someone talking about something deeply distressing to him and he was stopping talking so that he didn’t burst into tears. It also explains why the person off camera was saying it was ok.... because they knew he was upset and trying to help calm him.
Half the country is... most in the comments section has never experienced something like this... Yet claim that they'd be better at speaking if it was them... yeah, sure...
Deepto is being sarcastic, Amadeu...
I was once part of a 2-min documentary (as a favor to a friend) about how teenagers can easily buy booze because a lot of clerks don't check IDs (I live in Austria). I was supposed to give my conclusion after I managed to buy booze and couldn't finish a complete sentence because I knew this was gonna be on TV. Now pair that with having been shot at and dead schoolmates currently being prepared for their funeral and you are gonna have a lot of stuttering.
its sarcasm dont trip your balls over it
Holy fuck. I'm nearly in tears hearing about those people who lost their lives protecting students and pupils. There is nothing more amazing than that level of selflessness in a moment of insanity. They deserve their faces shown more than the shooter or anyone else involved
Max Whitehead Too bad they weren't armed. They could have fought back.
Max!! I whole heartedly agree with you
It doesn't seem like Phil is in the mood, but still, congrats on 6 Million! Thanks for keeping me up to date with everything and I'm sure you'll continue to grow!
Phil went after a 22 yr old RUclips prankster because he let his triggered feelings get in the way of using his half brain to fact check Logans suicide story. He almost ruined his career, the police confimred it was fake in 'Matty Love debunks' video
OY VEYY
Ben Thunder if he’s the one that you take all ur news from, you should rethink ur priorities
Yeah, I love Phil and I think he's a great content creator yet i'm starting to worry that his emotions might be contributing to emotional biases, and thus skewing his objectivity. I've noticed a few people at my college said they stopped listening to Phil because they feel he's transformed from semi-objective news, with partial opinion, to overwhelming, and unprofessional, emotional rants. I had to disagree, yet I believe continuing to do so would be subjective of me on my part, due to possible mere-exposure effect. Overall I enjoy getting my news from Phil, and sincerely hope will be able to take his work with seriousness in the future.
Johnny Bouy He didn't do anything to Logan's career. If you're just gonna spit bullshit in the comments, don't comment. Logan is fine and will be perfectly fine on RUclips.
Unsubscribe?! I've never seen any of your videos before this one and this video is all it took for me to subscribe. I hope to see more awesome content from you! Love the critical thinking
Oh, thank God. Someone else down here who isn't absolutely deranged.
If that boy hadn't stuttered, the conspiracy theorists would be saying "He's speaking too perfectly! He's rehearsed his lines! CRISIS ACTOR!"
Ya know what really just fucks me up? We have this 15 year old American hero who used his actual body to shield other humans from bullets who we should be celebrating and giving the higest of respects and honor too. And instead we have to worry about how his family will pay for the treatment keeping him alive. How they will afford his recovery when he finally gets to go home. How they’ll afford the changes his home may need so he can live a full life.
We’re more worried about the guns and the bullets than the children taking them to the chest. And it really fucks me up.
I believe that the people of his community, and those of the internet, are alleviating that worry. They're doing what communities, charity groups, and crisis groups have done for a long time. Helping those in need. If even just under an 1/8th of Phil's audience go to that page and donate, that family will receive all the funding for future assistance he'll need for years. This is something people can do, can tangibly do without having to wait for lawmakers, politicians, etc. So it actually really gives me hope for society when I see people pulling together for strangers after a tragedy like this.
It really fucked that it is that easy for a teen to get a gun than a beer or smoke in America. We care about the gun cause that is the where the problems are. We can try being positive about the heroes and they surviving but how long does it take till the next "Mass" Shooting? Maybe Weeks or Months. And i think that we as a big community can help donating small amounts that helps out family.
Xotr illegal drugs and all that is easy to get ahold of too, bans just don't work never have never will. I can get whatever I want whenever I want with enough money and no law is going to change that.
John Edwards Ban != strict enforcement
Also I'd say it's a fair assumption to make that drugs are WAY EASIER to get illegally than weapons are
LunaMalfoy3 you can always reach out to him and donate. You can even set up some sort of donation site for him and his family.
How is him hesitating while talking about his experiences evidence that he’s acting?? I have trouble speaking about my car accident years later; can’t imagine how hard it is for him to talk about the shooting to media within the same week.
lily14130 I cant even present my project let alone telling a story about kids being shot
If you research body language, it is obvious that they are acting. It's not even close to real. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the government and media are evil.
Some people just want a reason to push what they believe no matter how unlikely of fake it is i guess
What is an assult weapon? A rifle? Ok, a pistol? Ya, how about a knife or a car? The answer is all of the above, anything can be used as an assult wepon
You cannot tell me that a gunman has the same risk to a school or even the public as a knifeman.
Listening to Peter Wang's story had me in tears. I can't imagine the amount of courage and nobility that he and his fellow heroes had to save other's lives. And as a high school student, I hope I'd have to courage to do the same
He exemplified everything someone within our military should possess. Courage, action, the ability to think of others before himself. He served his country so proudly and selflessly before he was even able to enlist. He was ((and will be remembered as)) a true american hero, and a truly courageous man.
I teared up too. My younger brother was in the JROTC for a while so it hit pretty close to home.
K Mocks I completely agree. He deserves all the respect he has been given
My final paper last semester was conspiracy theories surrounding the Sandy Hook shooting. I felt so gross and dirty typing about the bullshit that I was researching. Thank you for discussing this.
I hate reading about those damn theories. It's sickening, all the parents getting death threats because of those sickeningly misinformed people.
I'm pretty sure if the government is going to arrange a disaster for whatever reason, they're just going to do it and innocents be damned, they're not going to have actors
Jess Belmosto I hate whenever there is a mass shooting all the conspiracy theories come out saying that it was a false flag attack to take our guns,that nobody was actually killed. no it's not these parents actually fucking lost their children! You sick deranged people
That's like saying no one knew Pearl Harbor was going to get bombed yet there's North Korea warning FDR and yet he did nothing and allowed it to happen... the government does shit u don't agree or believe all the time question everything!
lord reyna so you're what happens when people eat tide pods huh
Man 5 shots.....respect to the guy.
Pausing the video at different times and seeing variations of Phil's facial expressions will always brighten ur day
"The people that are no longer with us, they are not acting, they are dead." I never thought that they were acting in the first place, but damn man, that hit me. Being that kid's age, thinking of what'd happen if I were him... yeah, that comment really hit home
Twenty øne Phans the only ones who didn't have to fear death were the actors who sacrificed their classmates for fame and fortune.
can you imagine if fake news had been around during columbine. this is completely insane. those kids man, as if going through that wasn't enough, now they have to deal with assholes saying they are actors. seriously think about the ptsd those kids are gonna have, of course they're not acting "normal" have you ever lived through a shooting like that! fuckin hell. i was jumped on the street once and i was spaced out for a month, afraid to go outside. you don't know if you haven't lived through it. have some fucking empathy.
Jera Sky columbine had cameras in the school and released the footage. No question.
They been copying that false flag ever since.
people seem to think that empathy is a thing of the past, however it's now that we need it most of all.
problem being there is a huge disconnect with people online. I highly doubt they would say such things to these kids in person. what frustrates me is that the people criticising the kids do not listen to them before they voice their opinion. they listen to the media and everyone else before listening to the kids.
Dumbass I got chained to a tree and beaten I’m not scared of trees lmao
The boy that saved 20 students receiving 5 shots by blocking the door to protect the kids...that`s a hero. I`ve never given a like to this channel but here is a mega like for Phillip. Im so sorry this has happened.
I acknowledge the little boy because I was touched just as much as the others. Please do not make this post an issue in this sensitive matter or I will delete it.
I feel bad for the kids, of course, all of the dead, injured, and traumatized. But it would be disastrous to legislate based on feelings. There's a reason why rape victims don't make rape laws.
How DARE people mock and blame the victims of school shootings?!? They are experiencing trauma and in no way the fault of this tragedy
And why are they doing that? What are they trying to gain and why?
Phil should actually read that T-shirt since he failed to fact check Logans suicide story before using his triggered feelings to attack the 22 yr olld prankster despite the evidence that it was staged. 'Matty Love 2 debunks' video has the evidence
Both sides mock tragedy against "the other side". Democrats mocked the victims of Las Vegas because, being a country music concert, it was automatically assumed the victims were Republicans/Conservative. They mocked the shooting of Steven Scalise at baseball practise. All of it is disgusting, all of it.
Its not about mocking the victims, For example until I watched this video i thought the david kid was a crisis actor just cause there was all the evidence presented that was too much to say that there wasn't something really weird, but all ended up fitting together and making sense because of phils video.
Its a natural fear for people who value their 2nd amendment rights. I would much rather just pray for the victims familys. do a charity for the familys so they could burry their kids without spending a penny. instead its met with immediate stress about how now i have to educate every progressive about how weapons work and why a ban wouldn't fix anything.
they take a tragedy and use it as political points to literally infringe upon the rights of others
Zoeannaart -Zilahtov mocking no good person they're pointing out that the kids are being used as for agenda props
imagine genuinely believing that the emotions and opinions of children aren't worth listening to just because they're young, especially when they're the victims of something terrible like this
Very interesting Phil talks about facts over feelings when he didn't even fact check Logans suicide vlog before attacking the 22 yr old prankster in several videos. The police confirmed it was fake in Matty Love's 'Logan and RUclips collude'
Conspiracy theorist that we just don't need in socieity.
Imagine genuinely not researching and attempting to debunk a theory based on 'muh emotionz' that really aren't worth listening to, just because you are a waman, young, especially when you're also married to the state and want it to be the only one armed.
Laws should not be past based on feelings and emotions
A9je Chidorigafuchi huh?
Hey man. I've said this before but it always gets lost.
Can you please please add close captioning to your videos? My fiance and I watch it but she has a severe hearing loss and has a really hard time keeping up.
Eric The WarHero same! Hopefully it gets done.
Mimzy Smiles thank you! My thoughts exactly!
Stonewind DeCool sometimes waiting a few weeks for auto captioning to take effect works but that's rare and defeats the purpose of watching a current events/new video.
I believe it would be time consuming for phil and his team to add that on their own and the show wouldn't come out on time. Google does automatic CC but i'm sure you know how reliable it is.
Ancient Laws yeah auto CC is absolute garbage, and it never comes out at a reasonable time. I don't want to watch 3 week old news videos.
And I know it would take a significant amount of work for our man Phil and crew but I am tired of not having anything she can watch with me online... I know it's selfish
Dude, David Hogg gave several stories to different media outlets... like one where he says he was at school, and one where he says he was not.
Temple Emanu-El in NYC put n a show for Parkland MSD singing kids
This does it. I'm signing up for Defranco Elite. You are the only reasonable human being reporting on the news right now. Thank you for sharing the truth and calling out bullshit. These are scary times but you give me hope man. count me in.
I love this channel, but, for news... Get at least a second unrelated source so you can compare information.
Defranco is alright, though he is not perfect, he is many times better than CNN, Guardian, WSJ, and other fake news. Defranco also has liberal bias so if you wanted to balance out your perspectives, I recommend conservatives like Ben Shapiro or Andrew Klavan from Daily Wire (both brilliant thinkers imo).
Diego Opazo well of course it's important to get multiple sources. That's just common sense. Well at least I hope it is.
I heard two students in my class discussing the theories about the teens and literally laughing at their grief. They talked down on them, and basically called them "dumb liberals". I just wondered how the hell they feel they have the right to belittle victims of a school shooting as if they were more knowledgeable on what a school shooting does to a person. Disgusting.
they have every right to do so. it is immoral not unlawful. they probably won't do so, if it's them involved in such tragedy.
I heard David hogg always wanted to work for CNN and be a actor
Phi Bu I said it was disgusting not illegal
Virat Patel the common flu is not a deadly school shooting
I AM GOING TO UNSUBSCRIBE, from Lego Magazine. I don't read it anymore. It's a waste of paper.
Anyway, good show today Phil. I agree with you all the way.
Devin Rivera is LEGO magazine good?
Thank you! I really needed a good laugh after all this crazy shit.
Devin Rivera but what did Lego do to you?
Constipated Carrot I loved it as a kid ..28 years ago . Can say anything for nowadays. ...... Christ I'm old !!!
Constipated Carrot yea,you get a free figure with every issue of it
This popped up in my suggestions today. The youtube bots seem to need an adjustment.
I think we should all give the Daily Wire a round of applause. Because I’m so sick of seeing the faces and hearing the names of these vile sorry excuses of human beings.
And my feelings aside, because “facts don’t care about your feelings.” It has been shown that media coverage of mass shootings seems to cause more shootings. Not video games, movies, offensive jokes, or gun laws. It’s almost like these shooters want to become famous. Let’s not give them what they want.
Patrick Fales You know, you make an interesting point. I always considered it a phenomenon that although violent crime and homicides have gone down in the past decade, the frequency of these mass shootings have increased in that same time. Back in the late 80's and 90's when violent crime was much higher, mass shootings we're less common. It's strange, and I'm stumped in terms of why.
The only time I'd be ok with showing their faces, is if the police haven't caught the suspect yet, and the public needs to be aware of a dangerous armed individual in their area and what they look like, so they can be better prepared and ready to report it.
Patrick Fales x
I agree... don't get me wrong I'm all freedom of speech here..
but sometimes I think it would help a small measure if it was illegal to voice the name of the killers in print and media only being able to refer to them as "the mass shooter" might cut down on the "they'll remember my name" angle some of these shooters suck on...
Oh please. Phil obviously hasn't seen his other shit. *This might be the ONLY good thing Daily Wire has done* . Ben STILL:
1. Debates global warming as if it's not a real issue.
Oh my God, that last student who took five bullets is a hero. I hope he comes out of all his surgeries and gets better. This country needs more of this.
All of the people who sacrificed themselves to make it possible for others to escape are heros, the teacher, the other kids. But I get what you mean.
genta
just shut up..
I’m hard core pro second amendment but we do need stronger background checks
Spybat007 what completely pisses me off is that the politiciand are voting not to DEBATE. its fine to not vote to ban stuff immediately, But to not fucking talk about it?
Spybat007 what should we do short of universal background checks though? That would require a federal registry since so many guns are transferred on the secondary market already. You'd never make that legislation effective without a registry.
Mandatory gun safety classes and yearly mental evaluations too, in my opinion. But, that's just me.
Then you're not hardcore
Maybe we need to take a multi-step approach to the debate.
Some of the things that should be addressed first (in my opinion)...
The gun show loop hole, as stated above, in most states if you are buying a gun from either a gun show or from a second hand seller, there is no background check. As a matter of fact in most states there's absolutely no regulations at all when it comes to buying firearms like that.
National registry. Believe it or not, there are only a handful of states that require you register your weapon. As a matter of fact, there's almost the same number of states that require it, as there are states that make even the attempt at creating a rifle registry illegal (who exactly is that law protecting?)
If your gun is lost or stolen, doesn't it make sense that you should be required to report it? Well not according to 42 states. As the law goes right now, only in 8 states are you required to file a police report if your firearm goes missing for any reason. Additionally, because most firearms aren't registered to specific individuals, all someone has to do, is commit a murder with a gun, on the 1 in a million chance that they're caught, claiming that their gun was stolen is actually a viable way of avoiding prison.
Locking devices. This is more about logic and practicality. While a locking device may dissuade a wannabe shooter, they are more for the safety of those around people who legally own guns, and perhaps that person themselves. Because locking devices prevent childhood accidents by a factor of 5 (estimated) (childhood suicide rate by gun is literally 5 times higher than with any other method, although many of these could be simply attributed to accidental discharge). While actually lowering the rate of suicide by gun, by an astounding 46% (estimated). The sad part about these numbers? Literally only one state has laws regarding locking your weapons while not in use, Massachusetts (Massachusetts has the lowest suicide by gun numbers of any state, with only Hawaii getting anywhere close). Only 12 states have any laws at all in regards to gun locks, and 11 of those only pertain to when the gun is bought/sold.
Rifles should not automatically be "better" according to the law. As it is right now, even in states that regulate handguns, rifles and their many variations, are somehow immune to most restrictions.
I would personally go a step further. I think, honestly, that there should be an annual licensing. And it would require both a physical test, but also a mental one.
A mental test that checks for things like severe bi-polar disorder, schizophrenia, impulse control problems, untreated PTSD, extreme gullibility, and violent outbursts under stressors.
Ideally such a test would not automatically preclude you from purchasing/owning a firearm, but it would put you on a list that would be monitored. As well as the doctors in charge (it would absolutely need to be a group of them, in order to prevent bias), would be able to deny them a gun for a year. At which point they could be re-evaluated.
Great reporting once again. I love that 2024 pillow in the back.
The kid is trying to talk on camera while holding back tears. How can people be so cruel.
Andrew Colburn sure if you don't feel sad and do what he said your a evil person that don't care about children. He said it himself in a news interview "your either with us or against us"
@qazweds saq proof of this?
Nathan Contorelli So you think its fine for any 18 year old who clears a background check to buy an assault rifle? I believe in the right to bear arms but not when they are handing them out teenagers. Being 18 makes you an adult but not all 18 year old are "grown up". And regardless if you disagree with his views you shouldn't be supporting the false accusations of him being an "actor" just because he was having trouble talking on camera
That I think is a part of culture of people from 4chan combined with just some nasty people, when they do it in group you feel justified and clean, just as if you waged a war with your country its just however when you attack a group of people with 5 or so armed civilians its not, so numbers give comfort I believe most of these people dont actually believe it but there are so many that have jumped on now a large portion of people do.
WarmPotato Maybe you misunderstood. My comment is regarding the people calling him an actor just because he was having trouble talking on camera.
You can have any view on guns that you want. You don't fucking mock the survivors of a school shooting, let alone DAYS after it fucking happened. That's emotionally immature and bankrupt. Show some respect.
There's a difference between mocking and being suspicious about them
korcommander there's no need to be suspicious of them, you can just know they are misguided. They probably genuinely believe that guns should be banned, but they don't have a nuanced understanding of the situation. It's right not to allow children to make important decisions especially when they have just gone through massive trauma. Obviously mocking those kids like that is disgusting.
korcommander id say calling them actors while there’s no actual evidence to back it up and while they’re grieving is insulting enough but then to say they’re entitled and make memes about them crying? Disgusting has no place in this world, ESPECIALLY from an elected official
,,being suspicious'' you mean by creating conspiracy theories right?
korcommander yeah adults 1 kids 0 is very mature for a person to say. Not!
RUclips is so negative lately 😒 If you are reading this, I hope you have an amazing day. GOD BLESS YOU ❤️
It would reallyhelp if Hogg didn't come across as a bully and appear to be so utterly untrustworthy, especially with his many video's that contradict the others as to timings, events and locations.
It would help if Gonzalez hadn't appeared to admit on film that Cruz was bullied throughout his school life, possibly by her.
It would help if they hadn't all been caught laughing on camera, suggesting deceit.
It would help if these kids were not so overwhelmingly aggressive when attacking everyone who doesn't conform to their agenda, especially Kasky, who probably alienated half of the adult world when he "threatened" Rubio and Gonzalez when she disparaged Dana Loesch; or when slagging off everyone older than themselves.
It would help if they didn't lie about what people had said, such as Marco Rubio.
In short, these kids have helped create this shitstorm themselves and it would really help if they weren't so clearly disingenuous.
Don’t ever stop. You inspire and enlighten. You sir are the best.
Im the “one of hoggs teenage friends confronting a life gaurd” and this whole situation is hogwash #leavedavidalone. I had to private my instagram because all the hate we were getting and so did our other mutual friends. Why are people so distrusting and disrespectful these days this is just wrong let people grieve, there were real people who are no longer alive why is that so hard to believe.
*hoggwash
Patrick Smith thanks
Fortunately most people aren't actually like this. Conspiracy nuts just like to mob people to make it look like there are more of them then their actually are. Unfortunately being horrible people is all they spend their lives doing.
It's crazy just crazy what ppl are saying to try to desensitize what happened kids died families are crushed and lost forever .....I'm in Canada and I'm effected as a parent how do they not see or feel it's so so frustrating.
Well with the media been lying a lot recently do you blame people for being untrusting?
If you keep this up I'll...
Stay subscribed, because I love this show's views.
Same
My son recommended you to me and I see in your description you talk about using actual facts, which is a rare these days. I'm willing to give you a try. :)
Assault Weapons: Not a threat
Pornography: Threat
ok
Gravuun, they're really unrelated issues.
Btw there are actually tons of studies on the negative effects of porn. They're actually quite compelling legitimate studies.
Also, if you knew the ratio of "assault rifles" that exist in the US compared to the number of ones used unlawfully, the evidence kinda does point to the fact that they aren't a threat. It's really the crazy people who are the threat.
Joseph Buehlman assault rifles : kill people. Porn : doesn’t kill people. 🤔
Holly M, I don't think anyone said porn kills people.
They said it's a public health crisis. Like I said the studies are quite compelling. Also, I said the two are unrelated topics. Comparing the two is ignorant or dishonest
I really liked the part where you said "I don't think anyone said--" immediately following an argument you made moments ago which can be refuted with the exact same statement
Well assault weapons have only been in three mass shootings I believe.
I’m English so I don’t fully get all of the background behind keeping guns around (if anyone can explain the significance, other than economic value, that would be appreciated) but honestly there’s a lot about this situation that is stressing me out.
One thing being the amount of tweets from older generations complaining about parents using their children as ‘pawns’ for the movements taking place.
In my opinion, anyone who can watch these kids speak so strongly and passionately about this topic and tell me that they are not genuine and that they’ve been ‘coached’ can just leave.
I’m too vexed about all of this...

👏
Well, people in rural America loves to own weapons to hunt and for their own personal safety. The National Rifle Association essentially pays politicians to block almost all gun reform bills.
I don't question the kids genuine emotions. I questions the efficacy of their proposed legislation or lack thereof. Many are just chanting change like doing so creates an effective policy put of the ether.
so you're not informed, you're not presenting facts, or arguments, but you have emotions. please, do go on. they're 'passionate', you're 'vexxed' and you 'don't fully get it'. you should definitely write legislation.
Mourn the victims, respect the survivors and honor the heroes.
Geeks at the Table exactly 👏👏
I saw a video that was Hogg giving an interview and he said he heard about something going on at the school" and so I got my camera and rode my bike to the school." So how can he be in a shooting at the school and be riding up to the school at the same time? Let's give breath to the topic
Sigh, I can't believe I have to keep copying and pasting this response.
The "video" you're talking about is a 29-second clip picked out of a much longer interview. When he said he "rode his bike to the school" he meant he did it at around 6pm, after he was finally allowed to leave the locked-down school. He was a member of his school's news team, and went home to get his camera.
Just, stop being so needlessly confident that you can simply SAY THINGS without checking that they're true.
This misinformation is being spread in part by people like you, who say these falsehoods with such certainty that people can't help but think that you know what you're talking about. Stop it.

Here's some advice for you. DON'T LISTEN TO SOUNDBITES. Soundbites destroy context and meaning. If you saw 29 SECONDS of someone speaking, and NOTHING else, then you probably have no idea what they said.
as a gun owner myself, I have to say I am all for a discussion on stricter gun laws, it has become increasingly clear that current laws are not enough we need more thorough background checks and an intensive review of medical conditions.
Can't believe this shit is happening so much and getting so bad, that it's actually being called as fake and acting now. America itself is becoming like a tv show for the rest of the world to watch on, this is so disgusting how many lives are actually lost. Just regular people trying to live their lives. Prayers n thoughts, over and over..
What don't you like media fake producing victims and terror? i.imgur.com/ZwIdQMV.jpg and i.imgur.com/t6xOpvr.jpg
Can't believe that's an actual question lol this is a thing, this is exactly what I'm talking about lmao
You see, you say America is like a TV show, but you probably laughed at Weird Japanese commercials that never come on in America. So don't call America a TV show, if we as humans, get our entertainment from other people who think how we live our lives is weird, and now what they do is weird to us, but normal to them.
Your absolutely right. The way the media and other sources present America is embarrassing, disrespectful, and disgusting. At this point most people don't know what to believe in. Its a sad day and age we live in.
Yeah dunno what you're on about, don't think you do either but anyways I didn't mean it in an offensive manner,. Just how there's so much shit, drama and unneeded deaths going on that you can't escape hearing it. It's like 'what's going to happen in the next episode', or day I should say.
Hey phil... did I mention I love this side of you? And want to see it more often? Incase I didn't, I just did :)
Lokim23 i support this comment 150%!!
safe space, keep up your hateful rhetoric, it will only continue to lose the right's favor among young people.
You're implying DeFranco is similar to a highly progressive news channel and called it gross because you disagree. Don't play coy.
It's not projecting when your name is 'safe space' lmao. Are we going to pretend context doesn't exist? The world isn't black and white, and it's obvious what your opinions are if you don't like this video.
Thanks mate, hope you gain some more empathy one day :)
hey philip any plans for an update, now that hogg has changed his story? he wasn't at the school after all.
He was there
@@1994Godsman Just post this link and/or reply in response to people like him.
The "video" you're talking about is a 29-second clip picked out of a much longer interview. When he said he rode his bike to the school he meant he did it at around 6pm, LONG AFTER THE SHOOTING ENDED, when he was finally allowed to leave the locked-down school. He was a member of his school's news team, and went home to get his camera.
Just, stop being so needlessly confident that you can simply SAY THINGS without checking that they're true. This misinformation is being spread in part by people like you, who say these falsehoods with such certainty that people can't help but think that you know what you're talking about. Stop it.
