Everyone rushes try to stop Russian meddling through new laws but nobody does anything about the Lobbyists that basically control this country. That's the meddling I'm more concerned with.
It's all part of the capitalist agenda to ensure money remains in our corrupt system. There is no hope for change as long as the majority are apathetic towards politics.
I agree, we need to stop blaming other countries for our problems, and countries need to stop looking at us as a model country, everyone knows this country was founded on an elite class of gentry, and only made an equated constitution that only benefited them at that time, good ideas bad execution of those ideas.
I'm wondering how the catcalling law will be enforced. Will it require that law enforcement witness it? Or just a third party as a witness? Or we'll it be an honor system, where the woman's word is enough? There will obviously be issues with all three of these. Requiring law enforcement see the catcalling we'll essentially ensure that most instances of catcalling go unpunished. And simply using an honor system could very much be abused, where a woman could simply lie. I wish that didn't need to be considered, but we see far too many instances of the alleged victims lying just to get someone in trouble. Perhaps the best option is to require any third party witness, but even that has issues.
cat·call : a whistle, shout, or a sexual move as a person walks by another person. It will be enforced poorly because there's no proper way to enforce it without crushing the rights of people. Witnesses would almost always be required, but the quality of those witnesses unreliable at best. You say "Excuse me", she hears "Floozy", and her friends agree with her just because their friend is really upset. Enjoy your fine and criminal record without a trial. Or you have a falling out with a girl, and you're both yelling at each other, enjoy that rap sheet because it's your word against hers and the law will undoubtedly be gendered to favor women.
It sounds so impossible that I think the Frech government just said they'll try and do it to shut people up. I don't think they'll actually introduce a law that's so one-sided it's laughable.
It sounds difficult to enforce but I'd think that the best scenario would be if the woman records it, and presents evidence of the person harassing them. Its not ideal for women who would want to utilize this law to defend themselves, as they'd need to be recording themselves all the time. But who knows, time will tell!
can't popeyes bring in legal action to that person? I don't know the laws surrounding that but I don't think people can just sell other places food as their own.
MsLucia4179 "oreo milkshake" holy crap, you mslucia4179 better reported this drink vendor stall at mall near you for not asking permission re-selling oreo without made a contract, how dare they!!!!!!!!!!
Andy Plays All Night kim's partially at fault, but no damage done to popeye, so it's okay to sell theirs but it was a bit dishonest for not said it upfront
What Kim is trying to say is that her restaurant is a reseller type, and that's fine, but what's awkward and ridiculous is that she didn't name here restaurant like this: "Sweet Dixie Kitchen featuring Popeye's Chicken". Lol I was trying forget this first story while watching the rest of the video and I somehow managed to, but when that twitter logo appeared, Popeye's chicken came back to my mind. :D
Creative North If Kim cannot cook the same chicken as Popeye's, she's shouldn't have open a restaurant. A real food lover and a cook can imitate a dish just by merely tasting it.
Because reasonable varies from person to person. That leaves too much wiggle room for lies. I've been in court a thousand times and I know the law to be either yes or know, guilty or no. Wtf is this reasonable shit? You're correct: the law is to be specific,not reasonable beyond all accountability
How much influence does $250k really buy, tho😂? And if Russia was employing a cover influence campaign, would they really use their own location and pay in their local currency? Call me a conspiracy theorist, but something smells suspiciously fishy...
Johto now you went 360° Hollywood conspiracy angle lol You know that if they didn't pay in rubles, or used Russian links no one would be talking about it, or have any way to prove anything. They could've easily used gmail as a service and paid in dollars, it's way too obvious. Also who do you think facebook are? America's #1 intelligence agency? lol Why should they even bother investigating lol
I used to work in a nightclub with a Wild WIng (a Canadian wing chain) next door. The owner of the nightclub also owned the Wild Wing. He would get us to grab orders from next door, and walk it down a filthy alley into the club to serve. This practice is a lot more common than you think. Not that it makes it right- especially when you're upcharging.
So Russia can't buy ads to influence the election, but a lot of countries can donate and influence politicians during a election? how does that make sense?
IronMaster999 senators and house representatives are available for purchase by anyone but not our ads... Our ads are a sacred trust not to be broken. We already know congress is broken.
I think it is. I’m sure Popeyes has their recipe as a trade secret because they’re a huge business. If some other business is using their stuff then they have to pay some sort of royalty or something.
My parents were almost sued when a similar thing happened to them with a smaller chain. They owned a restaurant and tried to expand under a new name with a very similar recipe. If that was enough grounds to sue for royalty, I’m sure using Popeyes, without their knowledge, as your own chicken is very illegal
o0Avalon0o nice utopia, can't see how you'll achieve it though, without a revolution and a one party state. I know of no, one party states I'd like to live under.
I’m inclined to agree. In the uk, the process of campaigning and running for being a member of parliament (and the leader of each party campaigning to be prime minster) requires for less money and as a result not all candidates come from ridiculously rich backgrounds. America’s politics that seems to give the rich the power to run but no one else can afford to, is weird and I think wrong
and then what? instead of money people buy stuff for people? are you just going to force no possible contributions? stop people from trying to support their candidate? All you're doing is making the corruption look hidden
Firstly about the chicken: she realizes that's illegal right? Once you buy something at a restaurant it's illegal to resell it for profit like that. That's why at concerts they either pop the tab on your can of beer or in some other way open it and make sure you can't close it again so you can't resell it. Secondly: this was honestly your best Alex Jones impersonation thus far good job Phil!
If she had worked out a partnership with the company first before using their chicken (and they would ship her some or something for her to use in her meals) that would be one thing but she was just buying it and passing it off as her own. That is just stupid and I am sure it is illegal/against FDA regulations in some way (it has to be right?). I don't know if she just wasn't thinking or was intentionally trying to mislead people but it was stupid on her part either way
Wouldn’t Popeye’s be in their legal rights to sue Kim and her restaurant? I mean, buying Popeyes’s chicken and then reselling it as your restaurant’s chicken (even admitting it’s from Popeye’s) sounds illegal to me.
Yeah, can Popeyes not do anything about this? I feel like there's some law against selling another company's food without their permission? Or is okay because they bought it? Not sure.
Make no mistake, the French are having to draw up these laws because of the legions of young Muslim men all over the streets of France making life impossible for women and young girls.
Eddie Dallas So they fixing problem of women in expense of french men? You mean outsiders have more rights in France than natural born tax paying citizens? Sweet:)
Please, can you stop talking on the behalf of my fellow citizens and making erroneous statements ? The movement has little to nothing to do with muslim men, and there aren't any legion of muslim in our streets. There is A legion, the French legion, who kick ass and has probably some war crime (I say probably because I don't want to be killed) and rape is probably part of it, but no muslim legion (even figuratively speaking). In fact, most #balancetonporc tweets accused, when color could be inferred or noted, white people (French people, in fact, hence mostly white people, but you got it, I think). For exemple, a former minister was accused. There are also muslims that were accused. But those we know (nation-wide) to have been accused aren't young nor recently-arrived from a muslim country. Because he is from the helvetian confederacy (i.e. Switzerland). And it's been a while since we know he has at least some horrible views, even if the law guarantee him from being accused for these views (which is a good thing, democracy would have be a horrible view two-hundred years ago). And he is currently charge for his alleged agressions. So, we aren't apathetic and muslims aren't the majority of the perpetrators of alleged agression (at least the ones revealed by #balancetonporc).
so whats the difference between another country targeting adds for a presidential candidate and our own government targeting adds ??????? I mean by having a candidate receive money from oh I don't know let's say Saudi Arabia and then go use those funds for targeting people to vote for themselves??? the HUGE concern that people should be worried about is the REP/DEMs do everything they can to make it so third parties cant debate against them.. Worried much??
30 Day Reviews oh I don't need to comment you said it. Bill should add modelling from all sorts of companies and big groups of people and just having wholesome ads again oh and limiting ads for all political offices so we don't have to watch them for a year and a half.
It's illegal. Can you imagine a world in which countries all around the world could run commercials on television telling you who to vote for in America? It would be beyond ridiculous.
If you look at U.S. history third parties have never done anything other then to slightly influence the discourse surrounding politics. Third parties have very rarely been an actual contention and it should stay that way.
My question is: In what way was it "bad" for Russia to buy those ads? Sure, they were manipulative, but guess what? They're ads. They're *designed* to get people to think a certain way.
Sometimes explaining whats self-evident, becomes vain. You hit the nail on the head, I just wonder whether it changes anything. I wonder whether pointing out the obvious, has any meaning whats so ever.... Im tired of all this idle speech mane ಠ_ಠ
Wrath's Turntable Time Machine Rocksmash Attack (AKA The Mysterious Reuploader, Ace-edo Mask!) Well for example I'm in Wisconsin and I certainly don't remember seeing any Facebook ads but if people want to blame that on why Hillary lost Wisconsin I'd simply rebut that with the fact she never came here once. Its mind blowing to me that some people believe $10,000 or $100,000 dollars or whatever in Russian ads completely derailed Hillary's (or any other politician for that matter) multi-million dollar campaigns with way more spent in ads. I can't speak for everyone, but an ad has NEVER swayed my voting. At best, it makes me research the information it's claiming.
Carlos Cadenas I'd say Dixie kitchen, as there is the possibility that they contaminated it in transport. Unless there's a bunch of similar cases at Popeye's.
You blame Dixie Kitchen. Even if reselling precooked food, it's the establishment's responsibility to maintain proper reheating/temperature holding procedures.
Sweeden's already there, buckaroo. Or is it Germany? Or France? I keep getting em' mixed up, because it just seems like all those countries over there are in a race to the bottom. It's freakin' depressing to watch.
Someone pointed this out to me yesterday. Whenever Twitter does one of their crackdowns on bot accounts and shuts a whole bunch of them down, you always see people with a ton of followers lose a bunch of of them. Twitter actually stopping bot accounts would bring to light how many of the accounts aren't real, and make advertisers question how effective the ads on Twitter are, hurting their business model.
Do political ads even work on anyone? I'm Canadian, so I didn't see any election ads, but I have a hard time believing that someone is sitting there in the polling booth voting for Trump because that's what for they saw to do on the computer box.
Brian Nah, campaigning in states is what gets votes, which trump actually went around doing, while Hillary visited only Democrat states, the ads only put out info to make people think about whether or not the info you saw about the other candidate is true, so they go do research and can make up their mind, most of the time anyhow, except in the case of a lot of the SJWs and ANTIFA who just believe anything they see.
Speaking from experience, dozens of my southern family members were EASILY tricked by ads. You'd think people with 40+ years of experience under their belt wouldn't fall for everything social media says about political candidates... but you've gotta take into consideration that a vast amount of adults in America genuinely believe we had a Kenyan president. It's crazy, but it's real to them.
Can you cover FCC wanting to end net neutrality? I know it may not be the most highly requested story but I want to know your opinion. Edit: I know he has talked about it in the past but with a vote coming up we might lose net neutrality by the end of the month. That's why I think it would be good if he mentioned it again.
I love the Sweet Dixie Kitchen story. Both because there has been too much depressing news lately and I needed a good laugh, and because I freaking love Popeyes.
Matt Deezly I think a tiny fine would be fine (heh) but anything beyond that is ridiculous. But, catcalling and getting followed and threatened at the same time is a whole other thing, which should be a bigger fine
Matt Deezly There is a difference between whistling and make crude remarks and following women (possibly under aged ones at that) and talking about sexual things you would like to do to them. It's harassment. And like in any other case, there should be punishment. Nothing like jail time but at the very minimum a fine or a misdemeanor.
On the internet ad bill, I don't trust government for the most part and i don't think they will be able to stop this sort of thing. If you don't want to be fooled by fake ads, try thinking and researching things for yourself.
Ok...I did a modest amount of Google searching, and it seems that there's this thing called a "first-sale doctrine," that is, after a person has legally bought a trade-marked or copyrighted, he or she can then resell it (but not reproduce it) legally. Thus, as long as the lady bought it legally, and they don't somehow reproduce the chicken, they are allowed to resell it. It's also the same reason why you aren't breaking any trademarked or copyright laws when you sell a book or an object on ebay. Since you (hopefully) bought it legally, you can then dispose of it however you wish (apart from making copies). Now, if you are caught using someone's actual product in your product (and not just ingredients), then it can cause some really bad publicity. But legally, you're fine.
Jared Poon I wonder if it is up to health code, though...if one was determined, once could likely find a way to get the place shut down for at least a day.
I feel like the French consent laws are ridiculous. If you are under the age of consent, that means you can't consent to sex. If you don't consent, that is rape. Period. It shouldn't matter if you resisted or if force was used. And to add to that, under the standard enumerated in French law, what happened to McKayla Maroney and 100s of other young gymnasts would only be classified as "sexual abuse of a minor" which carries only a 5 year penalty and a fine per charge.
he told girl to teach her to kiss him and follow him to hes house o.o few screws where lose from the girl unless he look like super model thta could seduce 10 year girl by flexing
The Mexican Pepe A snowflake doesn't have to be categorized as a liberal. Clearly this guy is getting his panties in a twist just by the presence of a state that they probably don't even live in. I.e: triggered puss
it is kind of poetic that for so long we have been influencing who is in power while they were powerless to stop it and now it is being done to us and we are also powerless to stop it. I hate that this is happening but there is a sort of karmic justice to it.
Didn't he have a cocaine addiction for years?? It's a bit funny he's investigating that actually. Not sure funny really covers it well, but you'll get what I mean.
The chicken story made me laugh especially when Phil compares pricing with Popyeye's and mentioning a biscuit. I live in Australia however while holidaying in America I visited a KFC AZ. I ordered chicken, chips and dinner roll. The staff were confused by dinner roll and said, "oh, you mean a biscuit". I said no, (biscuits in Australia are cookies) like a mini bread roll. Anyway, got my order. The chicken was delicious, the chips were potato wedges and my "biscuit" was what we call here "scone". So, I reheated the biscuit/scone the next morning and buttered it. It was delicious. lol.
Catcalling is not enforceable. Cops would have to be there in the moment or women would have to be on guard at all times, ready with their phones to catch the men doing it. It isn't practical. Also how do you define catcalling? What is acceptable to say to a woman? "Hello, beautiful, how is your day going?" should be seen as being a lot different from, "Hey baby, bring dat fine ass over here, so I can get a better look," but with the state of things you can never tell how someone is going to react to something as benign as the former statement. It is something that will just continue to scare men away from approaching women altogether. If men have to wait for an invitation, then unless you are of male model status, you will be waiting a very long time.
Raymo I personally don't give a shit what a guy says to me, just as long as he doesn't put his hands on me when it is clear that I don't want to be touched. I think some people are a lot more sensitive than others. And I have been abused as a child, trust me there are worse things than a guy saying suggestive things. Also it depends on the context and intent.
I hope Popeye's sues. That's got to be illegal in the States. It's like that Amy's Baking Company business, you can't just buy and resell someone else's product, even if you don't claim you made it.
Does eBay sell cooked food slowly becoming stale? Also, what's the law when it comes to contamination? I don't think it's safe to buy food from a fast food joint and take it to another joint, and then place in into their recipes. And I'm not saying making their own product from their knowledge of the Popeye's recipe. I don't think it's as legal as one might stipulate it being.
I've had a problem with money in politics for a while now, and this just seems like a tipping point. The main problem is that the candidate with the most funds, therefore the most ads and more importantly the most donors, will win the vast majority of the time. It seems like the government is forced to agree with this, saying that political ads are SO powerful that we must restrict the "free speech" of other nations who may influence our elections. Well which is it? Are ads by definition manipulative and should not be used in politics and elections altogether, or are they simply the free market, and voters can make their own choice about who is best to lead without ads influencing them (which statistically isn't true).
Trump is actually an exception to this. He had much less spent on ads for his side than Hillary did for hers. Hillary just sucked at campaigning, never once in an ad saying what's good about her outside of her not being Trump. Marketing 101: Mention what the product does. But if it weren't for incompetence and the media crucifying Trump for the tiniest things, it would just have been the one who spent the most money on ads.
Omg U do know LOTS of restaurants do not make everything in house, pasta is almost never made in house, most sauces are bought not made, and so are pastries. Just stop going out to eat if u want everything "home-cooked" meals.
PatheticPeople There is a difference between buying hotdog buns and buying the entire hotdog with sauce, relish and pickles already included on the dish and then claim that everything is made from scratch in-house. Everyone knows that restaurants buy *ingredients* premade. But the restaurant can still say that they made the dish and bought the ingredients elsewhere. We call that "giving credit." That's like claiming that you made your thesis by yourself when you bought it from some Chinese student and all you did was put your signature at the bottom.
Fight, flight or freeze is a real thing! Just because the child did not fight it doesn't mean she consented, when you know he is bigger and stronger you can't fight or flee, freezing is the only other option to protect yourself. Animals also freeze, this is an automatic response.
We actually have that system in Norway. There are loophole, like internet commercial and cinema, but political commercials are banned from appearing on TV.
How about not basing your vote off of a freaking ad - especially ones from Facebook? It seems people take more consideration for what they are going to order for lunch than who is going to run their government for several years. Oh, I'll just vote for the next ruler of the most powerful nation for the next 4 years based off the cesspool of people posting for a serotonin boost!
This "scandal" is ridiculous. Given the US's history with foreign election manipulation and outright coups, it's completely hypocritical for americans to complain about something that was not even illegal.
+Justin B Though we are not responsible for our government's actions, this outrage over Russia does make us hypocrites. America has been responsible for manipulating foreign elections all around the world for the last 50+ years. Being upset that Russia supposedly meddled with the American election is hypocritical because no one spoke out against the government while it was widely known that our government was doing that. Even so, Russia buying $100k in advertisements isn't going to sway an entire election while the American government has done much more to manipulate foreign elections.
EveryDay Idk i feel like most people would be upset to find out that Russia wants to divide the country by promoting any and all politically polarizing ads. And John McCain is Republican but go off I guess. Also: an average citizen being upset by this is not hypocritical because chances are they don't know about and would be upset by American manipulation in foreign politics. If one country start to make moves to prevent this, others may too.
Just a note for your editing team, when you use the pop up quote bubbles, you should add the name of to whom it belongs in the bottom right. I know Phil says their name immediately before he cites the quote, but I think for the audibly deficient, it might help a tad and also look more professional, just a thought. Much love to the whole team.
Hey Phil, I know your super busy with new baby and family comes first. However, would it be possible to get a specialised video with a breakdown of the investigation and allegations against Russia. I am interested however I find only conflicting "facts" and news stories on the internet. And in England reliable news outlets just aren't covering the story. Love what you do!
Sam Spenny you actually just said you think philip de franco is trustworthy and you also said you get your information from THE INTERNET. HAHAHAHAHAHHA open a book buddy. Study the u.n, trilaterial commision, and international relations.... then you might have an idea whats going on.... YOU DEF WONT HEAR IT HERE FIRST. LOLLL OMG, sheep!!!!
I have been working in fast food for 15 years and all restaurants MUST complete A health and safety (Servsafe) And I doubt transferring food in a box will keep the food at the 165 Degrees. I doubt if she cares so little for her Guests that she will not be discarding the food that is held for a max of 4 hours (must fast food places would hold for a max of an hour) I hope that place gets shut down and no one gets sick.
Wow you are dumb huh ? yes you can get sick .Because leaving food out too long at room temperature can cause bacteria (such as Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella Enteritidis, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Campylobacter) to grow to dangerous levels that can cause illness.
Serious question: Would it be illegal and/or immoral for me as a non-US citizen to buy ads on Facebook endorsing a political candidate in a US election? For example, if John and Janet are running for president, and I as a European think that Europe would be best served if Janet became the next US president - could I legally and/or morally buy ads on Facebook urging Americans to vote for Janet? I mean if any and all statements in those ads were completely true.
I'm pretty sure I shared something political during the 2016 election on social media and I am not a citizen of the US. You could certainly find some sort of "link" to my government as well. Should I be banned for it or what? News organizations (including those owned and ran by states) comment on foreign elections all the time, often with a clear narrative. Where does one draw the line? What is allowed and what is not? I don't think any government should have so much power over social media. Anyway 100k in ads is nothing but a small drop in the ocean of money that was spent during the election. Funny thing is that it is actually getting effective in dividing people now. All thanks to the media coverage it is receiving. If this was a Russian plot (it may have been, but keep in mind that there is a big difference between Russia and someone from Russia) then Putin is laughing his ass off right now.
+ IttBeeMee Is Senator John McCain going senile? Likely. Is he irrelevant? Yep, getting there. That being said, I'm wondering why you can Capitalize your own name and not his. When's the last time you were a prisoner of war? Ooooo, he's got long nose hairs! You're a child.
Seems like a great time to get rid of campaign commercials or at least make the campaign periods shorter. From what I hear we are exposed to so much more of this than a lot of other civilized country’s. Imho it would be better for the American people to have set debates that decided a candidates career as opposed to ads 24/7 for months if not longer. The only problem is words don’t have up addresses so they can’t be traced as easily. But at least they are the words of the candidate and not a foreign power.
"We have to import our fried chicken because we can't have a frier here" How about not put fried chicken on the menu then? There are plenty of dishes you can design that don't include fried chicken. If it's really core to your southern cuisine, maybe you're in the wrong restaurant.
We need to start auto-translating corporations saying something would 'stand in the way of innovation' to it would 'stand in the way of us making more money'.
Philip DeFranco a side note on the MeToo story; I am not sure if this is big everywhere, but where I live (Sweden) men have started to share their ItWasMe story. Basically describing how they have sexually assaulted women, and uhh... many people (including me) think it would be better if they did so at the police station instead of on social media. But yeah, I don't know. Got any thoughts?
THE CHICKEN IS A LIE! 😂😂😂
Philip DeFranco QUACK
It's so disappointing
😂😂😂
First
phil.ting.com-get it now, they dont sell other people’s chicken.
Everyone rushes try to stop Russian meddling through new laws but nobody does anything about the Lobbyists that basically control this country. That's the meddling I'm more concerned with.
i agree
It's all part of the capitalist agenda to ensure money remains in our corrupt system. There is no hope for change as long as the majority are apathetic towards politics.
VeronicaSawyer what are lobbyists?
We need all the current politicians to die, so we can start over
I agree, we need to stop blaming other countries for our problems, and countries need to stop looking at us as a model country, everyone knows this country was founded on an elite class of gentry, and only made an equated constitution that only benefited them at that time, good ideas bad execution of those ideas.

It sounds difficult to enforce but I'd think that the best scenario would be if the woman records it, and presents evidence of the person harassing them. Its not ideal for women who would want to utilize this law to defend themselves, as they'd need to be recording themselves all the time. But who knows, time will tell!
Gordon Ramsay should visit that restaurant..
He's a little busy becoming Scarface apparently lol
Omg that’d be so funny...
You'd be surprised how cocaine really helps make great fried chicken
can't popeyes bring in legal action to that person? I don't know the laws surrounding that but I don't think people can just sell other places food as their own.
Andy Plays All Night no, they can't. Not without a partnership or contract
MsLucia4179 "oreo milkshake" holy crap, you mslucia4179 better reported this drink vendor stall at mall near you for not asking permission re-selling oreo without made a contract, how dare they!!!!!!!!!!
Andy Plays All Night if kim just disclose that kim's resto be using _brand name_ product, reporposed, and re-selling it, then it's okay
No Name I see, though what about when they originally weren't? At least based off their Facebook and their menus.
Andy Plays All Night kim's partially at fault, but no damage done to popeye, so it's okay to sell theirs but it was a bit dishonest for not said it upfront

Lol I was trying forget this first story while watching the rest of the video and I somehow managed to, but when that twitter logo appeared, Popeye's chicken came back to my mind. :D
Creative North That restaurant name that you came up with is both correct and hilarious hahaha
Creative North If Kim cannot cook the same chicken as Popeye's, she's shouldn't have open a restaurant. A real food lover and a cook can imitate a dish just by merely tasting it.
Can't wait to hear what Popeye's will say about this :)
Rona Sans I understand what you mean, but it really depends on the dish in question- for some things you’ll at minimum need a list of ingredients.
Wow instead of competing the product, she used the product against it. That's nasty!
The Sweet Dixie Kitchen situation reminds me of the Amy’s Baking Company fiasco...
Flame of Udun I FORGOT ABOUT THAT
*I sPeAK FeLInE! mEoW MEow mEOw*
Flame of Udun up vote this to all hell!
I used to work right next door to that place. Those ppl were bonkers.
are they still open?
Be worried when a new bill has the words "reasonable' in them. It is ambiguous a not specific. It could be either or.
Because reasonable varies from person to person. That leaves too much wiggle room for lies. I've been in court a thousand times and I know the law to be either yes or know, guilty or no. Wtf is this reasonable shit? You're correct: the law is to be specific,not reasonable beyond all accountability
I don't know why, but that one line- 'AND THEY PAID IN RUBLES. SERIOUSLY.' killed me. 😂
SERN It seems too obvious. I mean, come on..
How much influence does $250k really buy, tho😂? And if Russia was employing a cover influence campaign, would they really use their own location and pay in their local currency? Call me a conspiracy theorist, but something smells suspiciously fishy...
Johto now you went 360° Hollywood conspiracy angle lol You know that if they didn't pay in rubles, or used Russian links no one would be talking about it, or have any way to prove anything. They could've easily used gmail as a service and paid in dollars, it's way too obvious. Also who do you think facebook are? America's #1 intelligence agency? lol Why should they even bother investigating lol
Being British and hearing Phil talking about biscuits and jam in relation to chicken is frying my brain...
spugesdu how?
Because biscuits you can dunk in tea (but only certain ones) and jam you put on toast
heatsrink01 lol certain words and phrases are different over there
Heh I see what you did there "frying" your brain, nice pun
You know had she just put Popeyes chicken as a "specialty" item on the menu people still would've bought it or bought it for that reason alone.
I used to work in a nightclub with a Wild WIng (a Canadian wing chain) next door. The owner of the nightclub also owned the Wild Wing. He would get us to grab orders from next door, and walk it down a filthy alley into the club to serve. This practice is a lot more common than you think. Not that it makes it right- especially when you're upcharging.
SashMcFlash guess the up charge pays for the extra delivery fee
secret link of the day, serving it up Gary's way.
"they paid in RUBLES. seriously" D E A D BY LOL
hoang viet go away crazy person.
"Thats.... 16 rEpElS."
So Russia can't buy ads to influence the election, but a lot of countries can donate and influence politicians during a election? how does that make sense?
IronMaster999 More like donate and influence specific politicians that share the political view of mainstream media
IronMaster999 senators and house representatives are available for purchase by anyone but not our ads... Our ads are a sacred trust not to be broken. We already know congress is broken.
I'm just wondering if what Kim did was illegal or not.
viktorayy :D It's not illegal. Many businesses do it.
Whoa, didn't know.
I think it is. I’m sure Popeyes has their recipe as a trade secret because they’re a huge business. If some other business is using their stuff then they have to pay some sort of royalty or something.
Daniel No they still had to to buy the chicken. It's not like they stole it
My parents were almost sued when a similar thing happened to them with a smaller chain. They owned a restaurant and tried to expand under a new name with a very similar recipe. If that was enough grounds to sue for royalty, I’m sure using Popeyes, without their knowledge, as your own chicken is very illegal
We need to get big money out of politics
o0Avalon0o nice utopia, can't see how you'll achieve it though, without a revolution and a one party state.
I know of no, one party states I'd like to live under.
I’m inclined to agree. In the uk, the process of campaigning and running for being a member of parliament (and the leader of each party campaigning to be prime minster) requires for less money and as a result not all candidates come from ridiculously rich backgrounds. America’s politics that seems to give the rich the power to run but no one else can afford to, is weird and I think wrong
If the election lasted a month and not 2 years you'd be half the way there.
And religion
and then what? instead of money people buy stuff for people? are you just going to force no possible contributions? stop people from trying to support their candidate? All you're doing is making the corruption look hidden
Firstly about the chicken: she realizes that's illegal right? Once you buy something at a restaurant it's illegal to resell it for profit like that. That's why at concerts they either pop the tab on your can of beer or in some other way open it and make sure you can't close it again so you can't resell it.
Secondly: this was honestly your best Alex Jones impersonation thus far good job Phil!
"Gordon Ramsey learns to cook blue meth"
Braxx I did pay top dollar for that son
Braxx "This chicken is so raw that it's still trying to cross the road!"
You're goddamn right
Cooking Bad
I want Gordon Ramsey to go to Sweet Dixie Kitchen and yell at them for using Popeyes
I feels like the only winner in the first story is Popeyes
Redbird7311 Popeye's is good.
If she had worked out a partnership with the company first before using their chicken (and they would ship her some or something for her to use in her meals) that would be one thing but she was just buying it and passing it off as her own. That is just stupid and I am sure it is illegal/against FDA regulations in some way (it has to be right?). I don't know if she just wasn't thinking or was intentionally trying to mislead people but it was stupid on her part either way
Wouldn’t Popeye’s be in their legal rights to sue Kim and her restaurant? I mean, buying Popeyes’s chicken and then reselling it as your restaurant’s chicken (even admitting it’s from Popeye’s) sounds illegal to me.
Isn't it illegal to serve outside food in a restaurant? Like, I'm almost sure that's a health violation?
Onyx Freeman Good luck with that, Sweet Dixie. Would be hard to prove it wasn't there fault, especially if there are no cases in Popeyes...
Yeah, can Popeyes not do anything about this? I feel like there's some law against selling another company's food without their permission? Or is okay because they bought it? Not sure.
Nah that is not explicitly a health violation. Time, temperature, and exposure are all that really matters.
Chicken is life
DomTheBomb lmao i remeber you from bo3 days...
Make no mistake, the French are having to draw up these laws because of the legions of young Muslim men all over the streets of France making life impossible for women and young girls.
Eddie Dallas So they fixing problem of women in expense of french men? You mean outsiders have more rights in France than natural born tax paying citizens?
Sweet:)
Eddie Dallas It's quite sad that most people were talking about that.
Please, can you stop talking on the behalf of my fellow citizens and making erroneous statements ?
The movement has little to nothing to do with muslim men, and there aren't any legion of muslim in our streets.
There is A legion, the French legion, who kick ass and has probably some war crime (I say probably because I don't want to be killed) and rape is probably part of it, but no muslim legion (even figuratively speaking).
In fact, most #balancetonporc tweets accused, when color could be inferred or noted, white people (French people, in fact, hence mostly white people, but you got it, I think). For exemple, a former minister was accused.
There are also muslims that were accused. But those we know (nation-wide) to have been accused aren't young nor recently-arrived from a muslim country. Because he is from the helvetian confederacy (i.e. Switzerland). And it's been a while since we know he has at least some horrible views, even if the law guarantee him from being accused for these views (which is a good thing, democracy would have be a horrible view two-hundred years ago). And he is currently charge for his alleged agressions.
So, we aren't apathetic and muslims aren't the majority of the perpetrators of alleged agression (at least the ones revealed by #balancetonporc).
I would love so so so much to hear Gordon Ramsey talk about that restaurant and Kim....
New hells kitchen episode
Sweet Dixie Chicken sounds like it belongs on an episode of Kitchen Nightmares.
so whats the difference between another country targeting adds for a presidential candidate and our own government targeting adds ??????? I mean by having a candidate receive money from oh I don't know let's say Saudi Arabia and then go use those funds for targeting people to vote for themselves??? the HUGE concern that people should be worried about is the REP/DEMs do everything they can to make it so third parties cant debate against them.. Worried much??
30 Day Reviews oh I don't need to comment you said it. Bill should add modelling from all sorts of companies and big groups of people and just having wholesome ads again oh and limiting ads for all political offices so we don't have to watch them for a year and a half.
It's illegal. Can you imagine a world in which countries all around the world could run commercials on television telling you who to vote for in America? It would be beyond ridiculous.
If anything influenced the election it was all the "sexual assault" victims of trump. Where are they now?
If you look at U.S. history third parties have never done anything other then to slightly influence the discourse surrounding politics. Third parties have very rarely been an actual contention and it should stay that way.
wendef ung The right does it too lol. Ever heard of gerrymandering?
My question is: In what way was it "bad" for Russia to buy those ads? Sure, they were manipulative, but guess what? They're ads. They're *designed* to get people to think a certain way.
Sometimes explaining whats self-evident, becomes vain. You hit the nail on the head, I just wonder whether it changes anything. I wonder whether pointing out the obvious, has any meaning whats so ever.... Im tired of all this idle speech mane ಠ_ಠ
It's an interesting point
I'm only replying cause I want to see the responses
Wrath's Turntable Time Machine Rocksmash Attack (AKA The Mysterious Reuploader, Ace-edo Mask!) Well for example I'm in Wisconsin and I certainly don't remember seeing any Facebook ads but if people want to blame that on why Hillary lost Wisconsin I'd simply rebut that with the fact she never came here once. Its mind blowing to me that some people believe $10,000 or $100,000 dollars or whatever in Russian ads completely derailed Hillary's (or any other politician for that matter) multi-million dollar campaigns with way more spent in ads. I can't speak for everyone, but an ad has NEVER swayed my voting. At best, it makes me research the information it's claiming.
If someone gets sick from eating chicken at Dixie kitchen, who do you blame?
Carlos Cadenas I'd say Dixie kitchen, as there is the possibility that they contaminated it in transport. Unless there's a bunch of similar cases at Popeye's.
Jacob C. Mayer nerd
Blame the municipal government/ward alderman. I guarantee there'd be results after enough noise.
Carlos Cadenas Obama
You blame Dixie Kitchen. Even if reselling precooked food, it's the establishment's responsibility to maintain proper reheating/temperature holding procedures.
Question: Which country will reach 1984 levels of legislative insanity first?
Late Night Breeze england. They are almost there.
nah man china's already there you cant be a citizen and discredit the communist party for fear you'll be reported
Sweeden's already there, buckaroo. Or is it Germany? Or France? I keep getting em' mixed up, because it just seems like all those countries over there are in a race to the bottom. It's freakin' depressing to watch.
Bobby Jones nah
It's anybody's game at the moment, go USA!! Wait, what?
Dude, your Alex Jones impression is getting better every day! I love it! How much of his show do you watch?!?
Bill Curran
He's definitely been chugging that *super male vitality formula*
Bill Curran agreed 👍
All Phil needs to add to this is the screaming and red face and he's a perfect replica.
I just got the new cutting edge Nano-Tech body Armour that even the US military doesn't use yet.
lol
Someone pointed this out to me yesterday. Whenever Twitter does one of their crackdowns on bot accounts and shuts a whole bunch of them down, you always see people with a ton of followers lose a bunch of of them. Twitter actually stopping bot accounts would bring to light how many of the accounts aren't real, and make advertisers question how effective the ads on Twitter are, hurting their business model.
Didn't realize stealing from a major franchise and reselling their product at your restaurant was legal, food for thought I guess.
Yellow-13 there is no accusation that they stole the chicken. They bought the chicken and people feel like they did not properly disclose it.
never seen heinz ketchup on the table/?
I like your pun XD
Yellow-13 It isn't, unless it's agreed to by both sides.
GURU ZINI the difference between the ketchup and chicken is that you don't pay for the ketchup you are paying for the chicken
Do political ads even work on anyone? I'm Canadian, so I didn't see any election ads, but I have a hard time believing that someone is sitting there in the polling booth voting for Trump because that's what for they saw to do on the computer box.
Brian Nah, campaigning in states is what gets votes, which trump actually went around doing, while Hillary visited only Democrat states, the ads only put out info to make people think about whether or not the info you saw about the other candidate is true, so they go do research and can make up their mind, most of the time anyhow, except in the case of a lot of the SJWs and ANTIFA who just believe anything they see.
People are very suggestible. Look at how many people believe MSM and garbage sites like buzzfeed.
The only reason the Dems are so afraid of the Russians using this tactic is because they're old hands at doing it themselves.
You know those things called memes? They are the new propaganda.
Speaking from experience, dozens of my southern family members were EASILY tricked by ads.
You'd think people with 40+ years of experience under their belt wouldn't fall for everything social media says about political candidates... but you've gotta take into consideration that a vast amount of adults in America genuinely believe we had a Kenyan president. It's crazy, but it's real to them.
Can you cover FCC wanting to end net neutrality? I know it may not be the most highly requested story but I want to know your opinion.
Edit: I know he has talked about it in the past but with a vote coming up we might lose net neutrality by the end of the month. That's why I think it would be good if he mentioned it again.
SealthruX yeah but it's still going on
He has multiple times, like must of us, he thinks it's so stupid and scary that they want to do that
SealthruX There's another vote taking place soon and we need as many people calling in support of Net Neutrality as possible.
He's covered that many times before.
Clayton Bussanich he’s covered it in other videos. is there updates on that issue now?
Today I was looking into paying for my own cell phone and now Phil hits me with the perfect ad. What are the chances of that.
Give us more Alex Jones Phil I fucking lose it every time you do the impression
I know right 😂 he's spot on
He can only call out Alex Jones when there is something to call out!
I burst into laughter once I heard we proudly serve popeyes and laughed for five minutes straight but it only got worse from there.
I love the Sweet Dixie Kitchen story. Both because there has been too much depressing news lately and I needed a good laugh, and because I freaking love Popeyes.
MercuryDjinn3 same
They sold stale Popeye's tho
Buying a meal in another restaurant and selling it back in your own restaurant, passing it off as your own dish? Is that even legal?!?
What's that about cocaine?
Chris L Gordon Ramsey
the reason is because he recently came out saying that the restaurant business has a huge issue with cocaine use.
It looks terrible
cavespoint010nx
Really you'd think they'd just take Adderall
Pluto 2027
Not really you got to take that shit though out the night.
Adderall last all night and helps you focus.
Like the limitless drug
8:42 for that amazing impression 😂👍
It was honestly my favorite part of the video lol
Your impression was so funny, Alex Jones laughed hard enough that Super Male Vitality came out of his nose. I hope A. J. DeFranco appears again soon.
Wasn't bad, but I can't call it great after seeing Rogan's Jones impression.

Guys who catcall are scum. But having it be punishable under law is just stupid & an extremely slippery slope
Matt Deezly I think a tiny fine would be fine (heh) but anything beyond that is ridiculous. But, catcalling and getting followed and threatened at the same time is a whole other thing, which should be a bigger fine
As a young teenager I catcalled other teenage girls. Am I scum? I'd like to think not. I whistled at girls because I thought they were pretty.
Let's just ban any and all form of communication between the sexes. That way no one gets offended in the future!
Matt Deezly There is a difference between whistling and make crude remarks and following women (possibly under aged ones at that) and talking about sexual things you would like to do to them.
It's harassment. And like in any other case, there should be punishment. Nothing like jail time but at the very minimum a fine or a misdemeanor.
Mason Preston do you still behave that way? If so, yes.
YES PHIL!!!!! KEEP BRINGING ALEX BACK!!!!! I LOVE IT
Never pick a fight with the Internet. The Internet always wins.
WiserInTime besides net neutrality laws
Let's hope that's the case with the bs the FCC's shatting out right now.
Hmmm as long as the internet never has a civil war
+Zak1387 - Touche
+Nicholas H - In that case no matter what side wins the Internet still wins.
Right phil im gonna say it. Im sick of jumping into "it". I dont know what im jumping into but it hurts everytime.
im not real fond to being called a bastard, beautiful or not.
*+GURU ZINI* I am, because I was born out of wedlock, so technically it's the truth for me :p
On the internet ad bill, I don't trust government for the most part and i don't think they will be able to stop this sort of thing. If you don't want to be fooled by fake ads, try thinking and researching things for yourself.
The Alex Jones impersonations are on point lately
Uinseann Lúd Mac Murchadha Caomhánach sheep

What are the odds someone could peg the chicken lady for fraud? (I'm saying this completely jokingly... but also semi curious.)
Ok...I did a modest amount of Google searching, and it seems that there's this thing called a "first-sale doctrine," that is, after a person has legally bought a trade-marked or copyrighted, he or she can then resell it (but not reproduce it) legally.
Thus, as long as the lady bought it legally, and they don't somehow reproduce the chicken, they are allowed to resell it. It's also the same reason why you aren't breaking any trademarked or copyright laws when you sell a book or an object on ebay. Since you (hopefully) bought it legally, you can then dispose of it however you wish (apart from making copies).
Now, if you are caught using someone's actual product in your product (and not just ingredients), then it can cause some really bad publicity. But legally, you're fine.
Jared Poon that makes sense. I didn't know that worked that way, thank you for the info.
Jared Poon I wonder if it is up to health code, though...if one was determined, once could likely find a way to get the place shut down for at least a day.
Agreed. There is probably some serious healthcode violation for that kind of thing.
Jared Poon False advertising for when they said it's all made from scratch.
I feel like the French consent laws are ridiculous. If you are under the age of consent, that means you can't consent to sex. If you don't consent, that is rape. Period. It shouldn't matter if you resisted or if force was used.
And to add to that, under the standard enumerated in French law, what happened to McKayla Maroney and 100s of other young gymnasts would only be classified as "sexual abuse of a minor" which carries only a 5 year penalty and a fine per charge.
he told girl to teach her to kiss him and follow him to hes house o.o few screws where lose from the girl unless he look like super model thta could seduce 10 year girl by flexing
This is why I don’t trust southern food in California...
Internet Tuff Guy Found the snowflake
The Mexican Pepe A snowflake doesn't have to be categorized as a liberal. Clearly this guy is getting his panties in a twist just by the presence of a state that they probably don't even live in. I.e: triggered puss
And how is any foriegn country buying ads against any rules
Frog - You would think if someone did something like that, they would go to jail for a long time. Go figure.
it is kind of poetic that for so long we have been influencing who is in power while they were powerless to stop it and now it is being done to us and we are also powerless to stop it. I hate that this is happening but there is a sort of karmic justice to it.
Someone call Gordon Ramsey
He's too busy "learning" how to make cocaine, for research of course.
He is there, learning to make cocaine
Didn't he have a cocaine addiction for years?? It's a bit funny he's investigating that actually. Not sure funny really covers it well, but you'll get what I mean.
'what ever happened to stupid criminals?' They stopped committing crime and started selling 'their own' chicken apparently.
The chicken story made me laugh especially when Phil compares pricing with Popyeye's and mentioning a biscuit. I live in Australia however while holidaying in America I visited a KFC AZ. I ordered chicken, chips and dinner roll. The staff were confused by dinner roll and said, "oh, you mean a biscuit". I said no, (biscuits in Australia are cookies) like a mini bread roll. Anyway, got my order. The chicken was delicious, the chips were potato wedges and my "biscuit" was what we call here "scone". So, I reheated the biscuit/scone the next morning and buttered it. It was delicious. lol.
Catcalling is not enforceable. Cops would have to be there in the moment or women would have to be on guard at all times, ready with their phones to catch the men doing it. It isn't practical.
Also how do you define catcalling? What is acceptable to say to a woman? "Hello, beautiful, how is your day going?" should be seen as being a lot different from, "Hey baby, bring dat fine ass over here, so I can get a better look," but with the state of things you can never tell how someone is going to react to something as benign as the former statement. It is something that will just continue to scare men away from approaching women altogether. If men have to wait for an invitation, then unless you are of male model status, you will be waiting a very long time.
Raymo I personally don't give a shit what a guy says to me, just as long as he doesn't put his hands on me when it is clear that I don't want to be touched. I think some people are a lot more sensitive than others. And I have been abused as a child, trust me there are worse things than a guy saying suggestive things. Also it depends on the context and intent.
Agreed. Wouldn't take long for someone to accuse someone else of catcalling just for saying "good morning".
I really have no issue with being cat called.
I personally hate cat calling so much. I find it disgusting, especially since I’m a minor. It really disgusts me.
Luigi ooo im a miner too you work in the coal mines?
Was waiting on this one. Locked out of my house right now and I need something to watch
Oh no!
I hope Popeye's sues. That's got to be illegal in the States. It's like that Amy's Baking Company business, you can't just buy and resell someone else's product, even if you don't claim you made it.
still_guns i think Chef Gordon Ramsay would have the same reaction to helping Kim. Walking out
Nope. Completely legal. Well…as long as it's not reproduced or purchased illegally it's legal. How do you think eBay exists?
Does eBay sell cooked food slowly becoming stale?
Also, what's the law when it comes to contamination? I don't think it's safe to buy food from a fast food joint and take it to another joint, and then place in into their recipes. And I'm not saying making their own product from their knowledge of the Popeye's recipe.
I don't think it's as legal as one might stipulate it being.
I love how hyped DeFranco is about the popeeyes story 😂
I've had a problem with money in politics for a while now, and this just seems like a tipping point. The main problem is that the candidate with the most funds, therefore the most ads and more importantly the most donors, will win the vast majority of the time. It seems like the government is forced to agree with this, saying that political ads are SO powerful that we must restrict the "free speech" of other nations who may influence our elections. Well which is it? Are ads by definition manipulative and should not be used in politics and elections altogether, or are they simply the free market, and voters can make their own choice about who is best to lead without ads influencing them (which statistically isn't true).
Trump is actually an exception to this. He had much less spent on ads for his side than Hillary did for hers. Hillary just sucked at campaigning, never once in an ad saying what's good about her outside of her not being Trump. Marketing 101: Mention what the product does. But if it weren't for incompetence and the media crucifying Trump for the tiniest things, it would just have been the one who spent the most money on ads.
the restaurant owner needs to be bullied by gordon ramsay. if you don't want to make original fresh food why own a restaurant?
Évelyne Yes
you do realize a lot of restaurants get there food pre made
Omg U do know LOTS of restaurants do not make everything in house, pasta is almost never made in house, most sauces are bought not made, and so are pastries. Just stop going out to eat if u want everything "home-cooked" meals.
PatheticPeople
There is a difference between buying hotdog buns and buying the entire hotdog with sauce, relish and pickles already included on the dish and then claim that everything is made from scratch in-house. Everyone knows that restaurants buy *ingredients* premade.
But the restaurant can still say that they made the dish and bought the ingredients elsewhere. We call that "giving credit." That's like claiming that you made your thesis by yourself when you bought it from some Chinese student and all you did was put your signature at the bottom.
I would fight her, and give her the 2 piece NO BISCUIT.
Tyler Dovhan Oooo that's deep
Philip's Alex just keeps getting better and better.
Fight, flight or freeze is a real thing! Just because the child did not fight it doesn't mean she consented, when you know he is bigger and stronger you can't fight or flee, freezing is the only other option to protect yourself. Animals also freeze, this is an automatic response.
How about no political ads? Sounds good.
HTG Java Define Any and ALL political adds, or let people make whatever adds they want, and the public can think of them what it wants?
Elvis Hodzic so you to force companies to place adds they don’t want? are you for real
We actually have that system in Norway. There are loophole, like internet commercial and cinema, but political commercials are banned from appearing on TV.
How about not basing your vote off of a freaking ad - especially ones from Facebook? It seems people take more consideration for what they are going to order for lunch than who is going to run their government for several years. Oh, I'll just vote for the next ruler of the most powerful nation for the next 4 years based off the cesspool of people posting for a serotonin boost!
Twitter is cracking down on bots? A third of my followers are bots with tiddy pictures and links to viruses.
Soap nerf lucio
Thee A Jones impersonation is the best part of my day
We run political ads in other countries via the CIA all the time and now they mad that Russia did the same thing? Hypocrisy.
not only that obama himself went to the UK to demand them to vote remain or get punished... one of the main reasons i voted to leave
'You simple sally, you may wanna put your helmet back on'
Holy shit, that is one of the best wreckings I've heard in WEEKS
Kim fell down in that high horse so damn quick

Not fell down but jump off
Guys I think the horse called the internet kicked her off
The impersonation killed me 😂😂😂
This "scandal" is ridiculous. Given the US's history with foreign election manipulation and outright coups, it's completely hypocritical for americans to complain about something that was not even illegal.
+Justin B Though we are not responsible for our government's actions, this outrage over Russia does make us hypocrites. America has been responsible for manipulating foreign elections all around the world for the last 50+ years. Being upset that Russia supposedly meddled with the American election is hypocritical because no one spoke out against the government while it was widely known that our government was doing that. Even so, Russia buying $100k in advertisements isn't going to sway an entire election while the American government has done much more to manipulate foreign elections.
EveryDay Idk i feel like most people would be upset to find out that Russia wants to divide the country by promoting any and all politically polarizing ads. And John McCain is Republican but go off I guess.
Also: an average citizen being upset by this is not hypocritical because chances are they don't know about and would be upset by American manipulation in foreign politics. If one country start to make moves to prevent this, others may too.
I always love the daily show but damn the Alex Jones impressions are priceless 😂
Just a note for your editing team, when you use the pop up quote bubbles, you should add the name of to whom it belongs in the bottom right.
I know Phil says their name immediately before he cites the quote, but I think for the audibly deficient, it might help a tad and also look more professional, just a thought.
Much love to the whole team.
Long day at work, and I always look forward to watching your videos. Love what you do Philly D. Sincerely a huge fan of your videos.
Well, I certainly appreciate the brutal up-frontness about her response. Better than a hollow prepenned PR response, at least.
I like chicken
Narrator: *The narrator did like chicken*
Yeah but do you really?
Pizza is tasty
Who doesn't like chicken?!
I even had a chicken who liked chicken!
My favorite is Chicken, then beef, then pork, then lamb, then raw fish like sushi. I don't like cooked fish.
No mention of the passing of Gord Downie? A true Canadian icon.
Hey Phil, I know your super busy with new baby and family comes first. However, would it be possible to get a specialised video with a breakdown of the investigation and allegations against Russia. I am interested however I find only conflicting "facts" and news stories on the internet. And in England reliable news outlets just aren't covering the story.
Love what you do!
Sam Spenny wont happen. Btw. Do your own research. Phils paid off by youtube. He doesnt care about facts
Sam Spenny you actually just said you think philip de franco is trustworthy and you also said you get your information from THE INTERNET. HAHAHAHAHAHHA open a book buddy. Study the u.n, trilaterial commision, and international relations.... then you might have an idea whats going on.... YOU DEF WONT HEAR IT HERE FIRST. LOLLL OMG, sheep!!!!
sasha toth why are you here then
Phil...Thank you for your Alex Jones impersonation. It brings me such joy 😂🤗
I have been working in fast food for 15 years and all restaurants MUST complete A health and safety (Servsafe) And I doubt transferring food in a box will keep the food at the 165 Degrees. I doubt if she cares so little for her Guests that she will not be discarding the food that is held for a max of 4 hours (must fast food places would hold for a max of an hour) I hope that place gets shut down and no one gets sick.
What are you talking about? The chicken that's transported is already cooked and you can't get sick from that.
Wow you are dumb huh ? yes you can get sick .Because leaving food out too long at room temperature can cause bacteria (such as Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella Enteritidis, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Campylobacter) to grow to dangerous levels that can cause illness.
Last PDS for three months, thank you Phil for giving some awesome views and news.
3 months? what
I ship out for boot camp on Monday. So I wont be able to watch.
Ah I see. Interesting
Serious question: Would it be illegal and/or immoral for me as a non-US citizen to buy ads on Facebook endorsing a political candidate in a US election? For example, if John and Janet are running for president, and I as a European think that Europe would be best served if Janet became the next US president - could I legally and/or morally buy ads on Facebook urging Americans to vote for Janet? I mean if any and all statements in those ads were completely true.
I'm pretty sure I shared something political during the 2016 election on social media and I am not a citizen of the US. You could certainly find some sort of "link" to my government as well. Should I be banned for it or what? News organizations (including those owned and ran by states) comment on foreign elections all the time, often with a clear narrative. Where does one draw the line? What is allowed and what is not? I don't think any government should have so much power over social media.
Anyway 100k in ads is nothing but a small drop in the ocean of money that was spent during the election. Funny thing is that it is actually getting effective in dividing people now. All thanks to the media coverage it is receiving. If this was a Russian plot (it may have been, but keep in mind that there is a big difference between Russia and someone from Russia) then Putin is laughing his ass off right now.
Thanks Phil, now I'm getting images of Gordon Ramsay criticizing the cartel workers on the quality of their "cooking".
Hello comrades, I can 100% guarantee that there was no Russian interference. Let us just forget about it and rush b!

+ IttBeeMee Is Senator John McCain going senile? Likely. Is he irrelevant? Yep, getting there. That being said, I'm wondering why you can Capitalize your own name and not his. When's the last time you were a prisoner of war? Ooooo, he's got long nose hairs! You're a child.

Seems like a great time to get rid of campaign commercials or at least make the campaign periods shorter. From what I hear we are exposed to so much more of this than a lot of other civilized country’s. Imho it would be better for the American people to have set debates that decided a candidates career as opposed to ads 24/7 for months if not longer. The only problem is words don’t have up addresses so they can’t be traced as easily. But at least they are the words of the candidate and not a foreign power.
How about just make lobbying illegal?
Ice Meows But isn't lobbying just informing people what/who they can vote for?
lobbying is companies giving politicians money
ted rosa and unions.
"We have to import our fried chicken because we can't have a frier here"
How about not put fried chicken on the menu then? There are plenty of dishes you can design that don't include fried chicken. If it's really core to your southern cuisine, maybe you're in the wrong restaurant.
why does it matter? If people like it so what?
We need to start auto-translating corporations saying something would 'stand in the way of innovation' to it would 'stand in the way of us making more money'.
That Alex Jones impression 👌🏼👌🏼
El Tremendo slays me
Man, now I want to go to Popeyes. And I'm not even american.
Yolo Swaggins it's really not that good.
It's pretty fucking lame. You're not missing out.
Michael Hendrickson It’s good, don’t listen to these lameos. I mean it’s not godly but it is good.
The only thing about Popeyes that's actually good are the biscuits.
KFC is wayyy better
Philip DeFranco a side note on the MeToo story; I am not sure if this is big everywhere, but where I live (Sweden) men have started to share their ItWasMe story. Basically describing how they have sexually assaulted women, and uhh... many people (including me) think it would be better if they did so at the police station instead of on social media. But yeah, I don't know. Got any thoughts?
Wait are they proud they did it?
Let me guess....a lot of these guys are Muslim
Oh yeah, it's big here in the US too. Our President even tweets his rape and pussygrabbing stories with that hashtag.
Rhetro Active yeah okay....
The idea of Russia using ads to manipulate Americans is scary but I also gotta admit that it's fkn genius.
As somebody who still reflexively reads # as "pound" the #metoo hastag had me a little confused when I first saw it.
TheGreatBeardicus it can also mean number, so #1 would be number one
classic train of thought!
Heh. Never thought of that.
Phils Alex Jones impression makes my day
