Well...I Don't Know What To Believe Anymore. Trump's Due Process Controversy, Huge Strikes, and More - YouTube

Sup you Beautiful Bastards, hope you're having a fantastic Thursday,

welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show, and let's just jump into it.

And the first thing we're gonna talk about today, by far one of the most requested stories from the past 24 hours,

is what the hell happened between Donald Trump and a group of lawmakers when talking about guns.

So on Wednesday, President Trump held a meeting with congressional representatives from both parties

to address gun laws and school safety in light of the recent tragedy.

And we need to talk about what Donald Trump said in that room because it seemed to surprise everyone.

First up when Steve Scalise was talking about concealed carry reciprocity,

That's essentially that, let's say you're in the the weakest state for concealed carry

Lowest requirements, fewest restrictions in that state, you could then bring that to another state,

and regardless of what the law was there, you'd be fine.

To that, Donald Trump said this:

"I think that maybe that bill will someday pass,

"But it should pass as a separate. If you're gonna put concealed carry between states into this bill,

"we're talking about a whole new ballgame and,

"You know I'm with you, but let it be a separate bill.

"You'll never get this passed, if you add concealed carry to this you'll never get it passed."

Then regarding bump stocks, he said this:

"And I'm gonna write that out, but we can do that with an executive order.

"I'm gonna write the bump stock, essentially write it out, so you won't have to worry about bump stock,

"Shortly, that'll be gone.

"We can focus on other things.

"Frankly, I don't even know if it would be good in this bill, it's nicer to have a separate

"Piece of paper where it's gone, and we'll have that done pretty quickly,

"They're working on it right now."

Then, despite the NRA and Republican pushback, Donald Trump once again mentioned the age requirement

"Somebody can buy a handgun at 21.

"Now this is not a popular thing to say in terms of the NRA, but I'm saying it anyway.

"I'm gonna just have to say it

"But you can't buy, I mean, think of it,

"You can buy, a handgun you can't buy one, you have to wait until you're 21,

"But you can buy the kind of weapon used in the school shooting at 18.

"I think it's something you have to think about."

(Lady in purple): Would you sign that?

"I'll, I tell you what, I'm gonna give it a lot of consideration,

"and I'm the one bringing it up, but a lot of people don't want to bring it up because they're afraid to bring it up"

He then, on several occasions, said how other politicians were afraid of the NRA but he wasn't:

"And they do have great power I agree with that,

"They have great power over you people!

"They have less power over me

"I don't need. I don't, what do I need?"

"So I was just curious as to what you did in your bill?

"You dont address it."

"We, we didn't address it Mr President. Look, I think-"

"You know why? Because you are afraid of the NRA"

Now, regarding the senator that Donald Trump singled out, Pat Toomey, we've seen two different reports there.

According to Politico, Pat Toomey has received over $167 thousand from the gun lobby in the past,

but as a spokesperson for Pat Toomey told Fox News

And from what we could find, that actually does appear to be true,

it looks like the NRA has not contributed to Pat Toomey since 2010.

We also saw Donald Trump tell senator Feinstein he's more than happy to look at her assault rifles ban:

"I would be most honored if you would take a look at it" ("I will")

("I will") "And we will get it to you and let us know what you what you think of it" ("I will")

And then, in my opinion, one of the most interesting and surprising things that Donald Trump said,

came from this back and forth with Mike Pence:

"If an individual is reported to be a

potential danger to themselves or others

Allow due process, so that no one's rights are trampled

But the ability to go to court obtain an order and then collect not only the firearms

but any any weapons in the position we're going to take the

Firearms first and then go to court because that's another system because a lot of times by the time you go to court it takes

So long to go to court

to get the due process

Procedures, I like taking the guns early like in this

Crazy man's case that just took place in Florida. He had a lot of fires

They saw everything to go the court would have taken a long time, so you could do exactly what you're saying

But take the guns first go through due process second, okay

I just want you to imagine if four years ago Barack Obama said that same fucking sentence take the guns first due

Process second yesterday. We talked about the possibility of red flag laws what Donald Trump. Just mentioned

here is the most extreme version of a red flag law and I say the most extreme because

Even right now most Democrats wouldn't argued to do that

They would say like vice president Mike Pence said you know when people say?

There's a warning they can go to a court order then go through the process

Then take those guns or keep that person from buying guns and just in general. I'm at a loss for words

I didn't expect Trump to say something like that

I don't know if Trump expected to say something like that now following that meeting and president's term statements

I think most people are at a point where they go

Do we believe what he just said I mean one it appears

There are a good number of people that feel that Donald Trump kind of just repeats what the last person told him is a good

idea

Republican senator, Ben Sasse

Releasing a statement saying wrong leaders don't automatically agree with the last thing that was said to them we have the Second Amendment and due

process of law for a reason we're not ditching any

Constitutional protection simply because the last person the president talked to today doesn't like the thing is to me whether I agree with Ben Sasse

Is politics or not that statement seems somewhat accurate I mean all we have to do is look to the president's words on daca

I know there's so much news constantly so it's sometimes hard to keep track

But this is what Trump said about daca. Specifically a daca bill On January 9th. It should be a bipartisan bill

It should be a bill of love

Truly should be a bill of love and we can do that when this group comes back. Hopefully with an agreement this group and others

From the Senate from the house comes back with an agreement. I'm signing it. I mean I will be signing it

I'm not going to say oh gee

I want this so I want that but then later either because he

Completely changed how he felt or enough people that are close to him told him no. We're gonna go a different route

This is what we need to do the Democrats are evil

They're trying to trick you all of a sudden there were

unmovable pillars that he demanded to be in the bill for him to support it even at one point saying I'd love to see a

shutdown if he couldn't get what he wanted in this bill as well as then threatening to veto the

Bipartisan bill that had the best chance and so really who knows where the president's gonna land today tomorrow a month from now if asked

Questions like is the president being erratic or are people around him the ones changing his mind is it due to public outcry

Does Trump look at the places that have previously

Shown him a lot of support like a Breitbart where all of a sudden yesterday

They called him a gun grabber which is also very concerning because that seems to feed into the TV ratings

president narratives about praise rather than policy

I don't know them so with that said I want to pass a question off to you

What are your thoughts around this situation this meeting the due process part?

I'd love to know what you're thinking and why and those comments down below from that I want to share some stuff

I loved today and today in awesome brought to you by D. Brand I might remember D

brand from when they launched the D brand grip they raised over a million dollars. Well, they just launched a brand new material called Black Camo and

Best part today only if you want to snag one they have 25% off site-wide and you get free shipping if you orders over

$20 so if you want to snag one go to dbrand.com/phillyd

Or click the link in the description for the first bit of Awesome. We're gonna do another recommendation

Sometimes to do with movies, maybe you haven't heard of like Train to Busan. We talked about games like Celeste today

I want to officially recommend. I thought it was going to be garbage they decided to reboot Queer

Eye it is on Netflix now, and I once again. I thought it was going to be trash. I watched it. It's great

It's great feel-good television of course every piece of contents not for everyone

So I just say give it give it the first episode and then let me know what you thought

Then, I only got a video from casually explained on critical thinking in Chadwick Boseman surprising Black Panther fans. Not that he needs the views,

but we got a great film theory. The Bee Movie lied to you!

We had Ty Burrell on Hot Ones

and if you're interested in an entertaining video on string theory that channel that I

Mispronounced 7 out of 10 times, put out a video on it. If you'd like to see the full versions everything I just shared the secret

Link of the day anything at all links as always are in the description down below

Then in 'How is it possible for this company to suck any more than they already do?' News

Equifax, has announced today, that in addition to the one hundred forty five point five million

social security numbers and other bits of very personal

Information that was stolen from them there were also now reportedly an additional 2.4 million other Americans

affected. This wasn't a new breach

It was from that same 2017 brief

But they're just letting you know about it now. Now the good news is that if you were a part of this 2.4 million

We're not talking Social Security numbers with this one, but things like partial driver's license

So I guess just a random reminder that Equifax actually sucked even

more

It still will somehow continue to be a successful business. Then, for those you wondering how John Kelly the White House chief of staff

Currently feels about his job

I want to play this video from a homeland security event I would just open by saying I have almost no

Right to be up here on the stage and when I was

In the depart of every right, and I yes I miss every one of you every day I went

Truly at six months

The last thing I wanted to do is walk away from one of the great honors of my life being the Secretary of Homeland Security

But I did something wrong and God punished me, I guess

Depending on where you land politically you probably think that he's saying this for one of two reasons

Some people will say that it's about the treatment from the media and others will say it's because of the just general

chaos in the White House

There is a lot going on but it truly seems like that man's life is miserable and in an update to the Dick's Sporting Goods

Story that we talked about yesterday more companies have now joined in Walmart announcing going forward

We are raising the age restriction for purchase of firearms and ammunition to 21 years of age adding

We are also removing items from our website resembling assault style rifles including

Non-lethal airsoft guns and toys our heritage as a company has always been in serving sportsmen and hunters

And we will continue to do so any responsible way also today

We saw a Kroger the largest supermarket chain in America

Saying they're making changes specifically that they will raise the minimum age for purchasing guns and ammunition at its Fred Meyer

Locations to 21 and so that will affect the 43 stores they have across, Alaska, Idaho

Oregon and Washington my initial reaction to that is I didn't even know Kroger owned

Supermarkets that sold gun the main point more businesses have now joined in on this move

and I'll be interesting to see one how those companies are affected and two if any others join or

Resist and also how vocal they are about it

Then an a quickie story that I'm just gonna throw in here because I've been messaged several times about it

And I want it to go away this really pertains to something

We've said in the past where a creator cannot control what their fans

do as a family of longer by the name of Anna saucony Jolie tweeted out this picture with the caption to love your body as

a beautiful thing

Mine has given me three gorgeous children and is currently home to my fourth more pics in my eating disorder story over on my blog

And if you go there, it's exactly what she says an own response to that another Twitter user respondent

You know how beautiful your body looks mad at you now my daughter was wider hips and a butt looks up to you and now

Has to see this how dare you I hope you got the confidence you needed to let little teens down personally

I have a body that looks ten times better than you

But I don't throw it in my little 14 year olds face and the reason I'm mentioning. This is in that person's bio

It read only rejoined Twitter, so I could vote for filly D to win the streamys again this year

Sorry for the spam

so I'm quickly mentioning the story for two reasons one you can never control what your fans do and

Two to ask this person to unfollow me and remove my name from their description Eve augers in particular are constantly under attack

from

Everyone I was find it disgusting that you're attacking another woman for doing with her body as she wants and as far as your daughter

Having to see these easily

pg-13 photos

Maybe have a conversation with your child

I feel like having a conversation with your child about feeling more comfortable in your own skin and the fact that some people have eating

Disorders is probably better than her watching you it complete dickhead to a stranger online

But that's just my quickie take on and then let's talk about the really interesting news coming out of West Virginia if you haven't heard

Yet today

Is the sixth day that public schools across West Virginia are closed this because 20,000 teachers in the state are on a strike, which means?

270,000 students will be staying home from school as far as why the teachers are protesting

It's partially about the low pay when you look at the numbers

It makes sense because West Virginia average teacher pay ranks among the lowest in the nation now

What's really interesting is the teacher walkouts actually started last Thursday?

And they started in response to a new law that would actually give them raises

but that raise was only a two percent increase starting in the summer followed by a one percent increase in 2020 and

2021 so based on average pay that's eight hundred eight dollars next year and four hundred four for the next two years

That's not great considering in 2016

West Virginia teachers made an average of forty five thousand six hundred twenty two dollars with the national average being over

58,000 that makes it so West Virginia's pay rate is

48th out of 50 teachers have also argued that yes getting any percentage whatsoever obviously is more money for what they're actually taking home not

Really because this increase barely covers the increases that they're having to pay for health insurance

in fact some teachers in the state have also said their pays so low they have to collect federal assistance like which is a

Professional degree teacher working two jobs I qualified for WIC and food stamps, and we collected on the WIC

So that's how low teacher pay is here

You know there were a lot of times where we had to choose between groceries

And you know health coverage for my family

So this isn't just an issue a bunch of people squabbling over a little bit of insurance benefits

Or a little bit of pay we are really in a bad place here now as far as the government responds

We've seen we've seen Virginia, Governor Jim Justice holding three town halls in northern

West Virginia during those discussions teachers governor justice push back on the teachers demanding for higher wages selling teachers

That would be unlikely for them to see a bigger raise and the currently approved plan because the state just doesn't have the money speaking

at a high school Monday Justice said quote

I would tell you that if you look at the numbers

And you were me and I look at them all the time doing any more than what has been done with your pay raise today

You're not going to like this

But it would not be the smart thing to do it would absolutely

Be from a financial standpoint a very very very dumb move governor justice did say however if the state was able to fix its economic

Troubles teachers would get a raise so just in general things not looking fantastic for the teachers there

But we did see some

positives governor justice also promised to establish a task force within the next seven to ten days to address the teachers concern so that was

Something we also saw the Public Employees insurance agency

Which actually administers the health care programs for the teachers also agreed to freeze health insurance premiums and rate this for the next fiscal year

for state workers

Which means in the short term teachers won't have to pay more for insurance also justice says he plans to look into a natural gas

Tax that could help fund the public employees insurance agents

They're also two bills currently in West Virginia State Senate that could help with high insurance cost one would transfer twenty nine million dollars from

The state's rainy day fund to freeze insurance rates

And the other would make it so that 20% of future general fund surpluses would go towards a separate fund

Specifically that fund would be aimed to stabilizing the employees insurance and following all of this Tuesday night

It looked like the strength might actually come to an end a deal was made

union leaders for the teachers governor justice made a deal which proposed giving teachers a

5% raise and that deal

Which is now a bill is going through the legislature after that announcement some news outlets even said that the strike was over

But as you know because we're talking about it today

it

Isn't this strike is reportedly continuing because this deal doesn't address the other issues the teachers have specifically their health care and the public employees

Insurance agency the teachers are also arguing that all of the proposed

Solutions are temporary and they want something long-term, and so the strike continued yesterday

We saw teachers continuing the protests by rallying outside the state legislative chambers of course

it's important to point out that not everyone is behind this stress some are arguing that the teacher strike is negatively affecting children across the

state especially

Children who are under privileged and actually rely on the schools for food now some local news outlets have reported that schools handed out food

To students last Wednesday ahead of the string one food bank

Reportedly filled 700 backpacks full of food for students last week an important thing to note

There is that was just one place 700 backpacks. We're talking about over

270,000 kids also to handle the situation we've seen makeshift childcare centers pop up set up at churches community centers the state's Attorney General Patrick

Morrissey has even called the

Illegal saying in a statement this week our teachers and school service personnel are among the state's best and brightest and I wholeheartedly support their

Cries for higher salaries and affordable health care however a work stoppage of any length on any ground is illegal this illegal work stoppage affects

Hundreds of thousands of students and families across our state our office is prepared to support any relevant state agency or board with legal remedies

That may choose to pursue to uphold the law we also stand ready to assist and support any County Board of Education

Or County Superintendent as they enforce the law so far there hasn't been any legal action pursued against the teachers

But as the strike continues

As time goes on we may see that change and for now we're gonna have to wait and see how long the teachers hold now

What West Virginia lawmakers do and respond so I want to pass the question off to you

What are your thoughts on this specific situation you support the teacher striking or no it's hurting the state

It's hurting the children and all these families. Also. What's your opinion on the state potentially cracking down on these teachers that are strike?

I really love to know what you think and why in those comments down below
