쉐도잉 연습: Olivia Rodrigo Attacked Over Cornell 7 Case - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기
레슨 만드는 중...
1
Megyn Kelly's now threatening to expose the Jane Doe in the Cornell 7 case, told Olivia Rodrigo to shut up, and you now have people calling her a hypocrite.
2
Trump's now threatening to let Iran take out LA and San Diego.
3
Well, you've got people freaking out about Ash Dykes.
4
Texas is now targeting pediatricians for giving kids vaccines.
5
And McDonald's is facing some heat for using AI to rig its menu prices.
6
We're talking about all of that and even more on today's brand new Philip DeFranco show.
7
You daily dive into the news, starting with this.
8
Let's talk about this Cornell 7 Megyn Kelly situation.
9
Right, and you've got a lot of people sounding off on it because Megyn Kelly, she just went on this rant implying that the Cornell Jane Doe, who claims that she was gang raped at a fraternity,
10
was probably thrilled to be admired by multiple men because she was not attractive.
11
No one will even consider the possibility that this woman made a decision to get it on with four men total,
12
not seven, and enjoyed it because I'm just going to be honest, she's not the most attractive gal.
13
She's extremely beefy in like her arms and her legs this is probably a first for her.
14
She's probably thrilled to be so admired because she clearly didn't grow up the incredibly beautiful one.
15
I'm not trying to be insulting.
16
I'm just trying to tell you the narrative that is likely to have occurred here, in my opinion.
17
And why can't we account for that possibility?
18
That the girl who was never the most sought after suddenly had four guys who wanted to have sex with her.
19
And she counted this, yeah, in her inebriated state as a win and liked the feeling of being sexy and desired and wanted
20
it happens sorry it does
21
and that's why she kept saying yes why do we have
22
to go right to she's a victim even she took weeks to get there okay
23
so there's a lot to unpack there
24
but most immediately you saw people mostly horrified
25
that kelly was bringing looks into this whole thing to suggest
26
an alleged rape victim should essentially feel lucky also with
27
that you might wonder you know how does Megyn Kelly even know what Jane Doe allegedly looks like?
28
And well, that is because Kelly claims that she does definitely know her identity
29
and is even debating whether or not to publicly expose it.
30
I've been seriously considering just saying it.
31
And the reason I haven't is because I don't want to do anything to hurt this young woman,
32
to get her hurt, or to add to the pain I'm sure she's feeling.
33
My real complaint is that she doesn't get named and the young men do.
34
that's what i'm pissed about i haven't totally made my decision i haven't
35
but these are the considerations i'm weighing i have no wish to unleash a lynch mob on her
36
and seemingly as far as how she knows it she didn't really say anything other than generally noting
37
that people claim to have published her name online
38
so there it's important to note
39
that like some of the efforts to name jane doe online have actually targeted the wrong women
40
but then also at this there were other remarks from kelly
41
that actually made news as well yesterday right and that in part
42
because she decided to go on this tirade against Olivia Rodrigo who recently wrote on Instagram shame on Cornell
43
and every institution who protects rapists
44
and abusers over women saying I stand with Jane Doe
45
and adding her bravery reverberates across the country
46
and the crimes against her will not go unpunished saying what she lived through matters
47
and so does the failure of those who could have intervened
48
but chose not to with Olivia also sharing other infographics about campus sexual assault right
49
and then in response to that you had Kelly kind of just losing Shut up and stick to singing.
50
I liked you better when you were in front of a microphone singing your weird little depressing songs.
51
Shut up.
52
You don't know what you're talking about.
53
It's better to keep your mouth shut and let people suspect you're an idiot than to open it and prove them right.
54
Adults are talking.
55
OK, take your seat.
56
We don't need the participation of know nothing morons who have been auto tuned into fame
57
and suddenly think they have something profound to say on the culture wars sit down
58
and be quiet got it or i'm going to have to start pulling your music
59
and your lyrics and take a deep dive into exactly the kind of messaging
60
that you are pushing on young women
61
because i guarantee it's not going to end well for you
62
olivia it's a very weird threat for megan i don't know
63
how your analysis of olivia rodrigo's lyrics actually poses a threat
64
to her career it feels like you're more like teasing a video
65
that your audience is like yeah but like rodrigo she's currently on a sold -out world tour.
66
I don't think she's concerned about a person
67
that got just crushed by Donald Trump years ago to the point that she had to cosplay like a decent person, pull away from society, and then come back just groveling at his feet.
68
And so with that, there's been no shortage of people arguing that Kelly, she's just trying to prod Olivia Rodrigo into some sort of attention, hoping to get a response from her or her fans.
69
But also a big thing with this is you've had people noting
70
that Meghan's been talking about this case on her show for a while now.
71
And noting while she claims that she is not defending the accused, she spends most of her time condemning jane doe
72
and questioning why it took her several weeks to report the incident
73
if you were violently gang raped repeatedly over the course of an evening
74
do you think it would take you three weeks to call the campus police right in
75
that line specifically might be why you've seen megan kelly popping up in your feeds because you had many The arguing that, hey, kelly herself should know why a victim might take
76
so long to talk about what they endured
77
and realize what happened right noting
78
that she was first harassed by her fox news boss roger ailes in the mid -2000s
79
but didn't go public until there was a wave of allegations against him in 2016.
80
she also later told abc news that
81
when she first tried to tell a supervisor about the encounter they vouched rails
82
and told her that he was a good man and since she
83
and ailes ended up having in her words a healthy working relationship after
84
that she dismissed what happened as him pursuing some kind of affair with her
85
because he was dealing with marital issues and then also with that claiming that if she took her allegation public, it would have been career suicide.
86
And so because all of those on -the -record things, you had people saying, you know, she should know what a victim's dealing with, what they're wrestling with, even if there's a difference in the alleged crimes.
87
And so there's all of that with Megyn Kelly that's playing out right now, but we should also use this opportunity to talk about some quick updates to the whole Cornell situation.
88
And that in part because Cornell's faculty senate just introduced a no -confidence resolution over how school leadership is handling the case.
89
And you get a draft of that saying
90
that the faculty senate has no confidence in the ability of
91
the central administration to effectively address the ongoing crisis of sexual assault at cornell university
92
and you've got their goal really being to just put pressure
93
on the administration at the school to get them to change policies regarding assaults on campus
94
and to just admit
95
that they messed up in this case also of note we're
96
seeing this case being connected to other stories off campus and
97
so for example you had police in idaho now investigating a
98
group of high school football players who were accused of threatening sexual violence against a female student
99
and in a group chat one allegedly wrote think cornell was bad just wait for us
100
but then others allegedly threatening to rape and kill the female
101
and so then with that there's been a ton of outrage in the local community over this
102
and you've had a petition demanding that the students involved be expelled
103
or removed from the football team but then next up from
104
that content is king right
105
but is it really worth dropping yourself into the middle of the congo basin
106
and facing the most aggressive wildlife and the deadliest illnesses known to man
107
that is a question you have a lot of people asking
108
about ash dykes right a little background on this guy right
109
so he's a 35 year old extreme athlete explorer from wales
110
and he's actually got five guinness world records since 2014 with journeys across mongolia madagascar china
111
and the amazon
112
so there's no shortage of experience traveling to some of the most dangerous locations in the world with it
113
but this congo basin trip it might be one of his craziest ideas yet
114
because dykes he's setting out to travel over 434 miles the
115
length of the sunga river all the way to the congo
116
river in an inflatable kayak with the plan being to post
117
and live stream throughout the whole thing all
118
while there are a number of reasons why people do not usually venture over there
119
and some of the main ones uh crocodiles hippos elephants gorillas snakes spiders malaria dengue fever
120
and parasites this has also been posting these ominous previews to paint a picture of what it's going to be like.
121
With that, I'll say you don't need the scary music to understand how terrifying this is.
122
Also, you've got a lot of people focused on the inflatable kayak part, saying that it's kind of unserious for such a serious situation.
123
But apparently, there's a good reason, and you had Dykes explaining.
124
An inflatable kayak is important to the success of this expedition, believe it or not.
125
If we come across a pod of hippos, for example, further down the way, and we're like, it's suicide to continue paddling, we can deflate it, pack it into a backpack,
126
chuck it on our back, and then we can actually walk a huge detour around them to inflate the kayaks and continue.
127
And as Dykes, he's going to be facing hippos and everything else.
128
They're going to be millions of people following along.
129
So of course, no pressure or anything.
130
Though at the very least, even in person, he's not going to be alone out there
131
because he's somehow convinced a few other guys to join a local guide and a photographer.
132
And together, they'll cover roughly 20 miles a day, finding spots to set up their tent and camp each night.
133
And while as of right now, they haven't been dropped into the basin yet, Dykes has been vlogging their travel journey.
134
Which started a few days ago with flights from London to Paris and then Paris to Yaoundé.
135
And you had Dykes revealing
136
that the team was actually delayed due to one of their bags getting lost and it was an essential one.
137
The bag with the pumps for the kayak as well as the tent's food and water.
138
But fortunately, it showed up two days later and after that, you're the team picking up a few less things for the mission.
139
So we've got a couple of machetes that we're getting.
140
We're just passing through this small town.
141
So we need to pick up a few machetes so that obviously we can get through the jungle.
142
And from there, with all their bags and their new machetes, they set out on an 18 -hour drive to Nola, at the point on the Sunga River where they'll start kayaking.
143
And notably, on that drive so far, they've already faced a few corrupt checkpoints, according to Dykes.
144
And you had them saying that their driver potentially saved their asses.
145
But also, after those few hiccups, they're getting closer to the Congo Basin.
146
And as this thing gets started, you have more and more people paying attention and asking questions.
147
And as far as, you know, what the online discourse is, you know, people are asking, does he want to die on this trip?
148
Saying it seems like Dykes is in a place where he's fully aware of the magnitude of the risk, but also taking every precaution that you can with something like this.
149
And with that, you get him telling People magazine, the Congo is the world's most dangerous and deadly jungle for a reason.
150
Saying it's like the diseases are rife and the animals are big.
151
And adding, it is an adventure and as experienced as I am, I can anticipate what might happen and try to understand based on experience how I usually react to those situations.
152
And in his videos, he's talked about the extensive planning that's gone into all this, including scouting the route, getting the proper vaccines and pills, medical kits, evacuation plans, and insurance.
153
And with this, he does seem to believe
154
that his several near -death experiences have helped him prepare for
155
anything i faced much tougher before madagascar took me 155 days
156
you know i was held up at gunpoint i crossed crocodile
157
infested rivers i contracted the deadly strain of malaria i had to hunt
158
and gather to stay alive i was pulling off leeches i had spider bites
159
which infected but also if you think
160
that he is insane for the for the congo basin it kind of just gets crazier from there
161
because the congo basin is actually just part one of six expeditions
162
that he's got planned as part his so -called project six series right
163
and project six is supposed to be this year -long undertaking with six of the most extreme environments on earth
164
and the end result of all this should be a documentary series right
165
so assuming that dykes survives the river trip he's not gonna be just going home
166
or going on a vacation afterwards so there are lots of different opinions on this
167
because while many they're just excited to sit back
168
and enjoy the content you've also got this other crowd shaking their heads
169
and saying this is typical dumb white guy stuff right some calling dykes out for posting constantly about his trip
170
but neglecting to comment at all about the humanitarian crisis there.
171
Others, meanwhile, are expressing concerns that he might bring back diseases.
172
My thing is, who's going to ensure that he's not a biohazard upon return?
173
Is there going to be a quarantining, a decontamination, a bleaching, a Dettoling?
174
And so we'll have to see how all of this plays out.
175
But also, if you are looking to get into his brain a bit, in a TikTok last month, you had Dykes giving some insight into why he's doing this.
176
I don't even know how to answer this other than when I was young, I had a passion for the world, for meeting new people,
177
exploring new cultures new traditions i was also highly competitive i
178
used to fight in boxing in muay thai i used to love playing football rugby athletics you name it
179
so i think my curiosity for the world and
180
that competitive drive to push myself physically
181
and mentally drove me to take on these expeditions
182
so yeah good luck to dykes
183
and hopefully i am not covering you on the show for
184
any other reasons other than this being kind of a cool idea.
185
And then there's even more that we get to dive into in just a minute, but really quick, we're going to take a break with a sponsor.

205
But then jumping from that to other news, as every day passes, the midterms are getting closer and closer and the picture for Republicans, it's getting worse and worse.
206
And as far as specifics, let's start with the polling because you have a few more polls
207
that we can talk about now and they're all pretty much pointing in one direction.
208
Starting with this one from the New York Times and Siena University that show Democratic Senate candidates leading in Alaska, Ohio, and Texas, all states that Trump won by double digits two years ago.
209
You also somehow have the party's candidates neck and neck in Kansas, where a Democrat has not been elected to the Senate in 94 years.
210
And even in reliably red Iowa, the Democrat is narrowly trailing his opponent.
211
Right, and that says in the House, you have another poll from CBS and YouGov giving Democrats a nine -point lead on the generic ballot.
212
And in fact, yesterday, the House Democrats' campaign arm added six more Republican -held districts to its target list.
213
Now that said, Republicans have been quick to note
214
that historically Democrats haven't flipped red districts added to the target list this late in an election.
215
And you have them arguing that because Democrats are short on cash and so many districts have been gerrymandered, the GOP still has a chance to hold on to power.
216
But you're also seeing some Republicans seeing a bloodbath for their party in the coming month, especially if they're retiring and feel free to speak their minds.
217
And so a good example of that is outgoing Senator Tom Tillis, who just published his book, How to Lose Friends and Antagonize Presidents.
218
Well, in it, according to PBS, he writes, all along, we've had multiple chances to get off the path
219
and avoid the giant bronze monster chasing us down with him
220
criticizing the tariffs the ice raids the war in iran
221
and numerous trump appointees he even admitted
222
that his deciding vote to confirm pete hegseth is the biggest regret of my career
223
and that he also should have stopped rfk jr
224
and he then had him going on to write i know for a fact
225
that there are others like me republicans who agreed to go
226
along with the early demands of the trump team no matter how ridiculous they were believing
227
that failing to do so would mean the end of their political career
228
and who now see that things have gone way too far.
229
And you add him adding that he can count at least 30 of his GOP colleagues who have expressed reservations, to put it mildly, about many of the president's actions in private, but when the reporters showed up with their cameras and microphones,
230
they'd have nothing but nice things to say.
231
And so really quick, just to take things to opinion town, if you will, just a slight detour, I just have to say this.
232
Fuck Tom Tillis
233
and all you other cowardly motherfuckers who all of a sudden feel like you can speak your mind
234
when you're leaving and or writing a fucking book that you're trying to sell?
235
Like there is part of my brain that goes, oh, I should, I guess, I guess give some credit for noting that the emperor has no clothes.
236
But then no, even what you just said, you, you are part of the reason that Pete Hegseth and RFK Jr. are where they are.
237
You and so many others, you're a part of the reason why the country is being destabilized from the inside out right now.
238
And not like destabilized in a good way.
239
I think a lot of people on left and right, they, they know that the government hasn't been working for them.
240
But when it suited you, You were seemingly fine helping Trump enrich his buddies and himself and his family.
241
But also I'll note with Tillis, he's not alone.
242
We've talked before about how some Republican candidates have been distancing themselves from Trump
243
because they view him as a liability right now.
244
And well, with that, you had a new Reuters Ipsos poll putting Trump's approval rating at just 32%.
245
So just absolutely miserable numbers in the worst of his career so far.
246
Despite that, you have Trump still insisting on attaching himself to the party's campaigns, telling voters to pretend like his name is on the ballot.
247
And so with that, he's been torn in the battleground states, most recently in Nebraska, where he gave just this insane speech yesterday.
248
And I mean, he just said so much nutty stuff.
249
I mean, he repeated his promise at least three or four times.
250
If Republicans win the House of Representatives and the Senate, I am going to give all adult citizens in the United States of America $5 ,000.
251
He also openly boasted that he distributes aid money to states based on whether or not they voted for him.
252
Pete Ricketts says, I said, I don't want to talk to him he's always asking for money for nebraska
253
and kids and i always give it
254
because you know what i love nebraska i want it pete's calling sir it's been horrible we had a flood
255
could you send us 25 million i said pete that's a lot of money
256
but you know i wanted three times i say to hell with you give him the money
257
so easily the comments that got the most attention came
258
when he was talking about iran we're kicking iran's ass you do know
259
that right and that will end very quickly one way
260
or the other very soon maybe a little after the election maybe a little before there
261
but it's going to end very soon when
262
that happens the oil will come tumbling down
263
and again remember with the war it's just artificial it's a
264
little bit high it's a small price to pay for keeping
265
the world safe keeping our country safe they can take out
266
a city let him take let it let him take out
267
los angeles let him take out san diego that's this is a very small price to pay
268
and it's gonna be over with very soon.
269
Right, and despite seemingly part of Nebraska cheering for California to what, get nuked?
270
In addition to those people, you also had a lot of people going, wait, I'm sorry, what?
271
And so for example, you had San Diego's mayor, Todd Gloria, saying San Diego is not collateral damage, we are not expendable, and we are never a small price to pay.
272
Keep our city out of your reckless war talk.
273
You also had Governor Gavin Newsom's press office writing, let's be clear, the president is advocating for an attack on 10 plus million US residents in two of America's largest cities.
274
This is not normal, none of this is.
275
And then with all this, on the right, you had a lot of people saying, oh, Trump, he's literally just joking, he's just triggering the libs.
276
At least one person who wasn't laughing on that side was Jim Desmond, the Republican running for Congress in San Diego.
277
And you had him posting, I vehemently disagree with President Trump's comments, saying America must stand up to Iran and defend our interests, but the first responsibility of our commander -in -chief is to protect the American people in our homeland.
278
Saying as a Navy veteran, I serve to protect Americans, not write off American cities as an acceptable price of war.
279
Saying no American city is expendable
280
and no American family should ever be treated as collateral damage though also
281
if you want to be cynical about why he's speaking out he is in a neck
282
and neck race right now so you know he's probably worried
283
that the president joking about the place he wants to represent getting nuked
284
that might affect voter turnout in a way
285
that is not beneficial for him with this speech in particular trump stood up there
286
and he just attacked the media over and over
287
and over again for almost an hour
288
and a half like from start to finish and a big thing is
289
that trump even went after fox news though apparently for him
290
it was the the network whose name shall not be spoken
291
al sayad in michigan i mean he's a total communist
292
but you know the more middle
293
and right they're always putting like el sayad was interviewed just a little
294
while ago on a certain network i won't tell you
295
which way they let this guy talk talk talk they hardly fight him at all
296
why are they putting these people on our television networks why it appears like he's referring to this interview
297
that michigan democratic senate candidate abdul al sayad gave to fox's martha mccallum yesterday
298
and trump is correct and
299
so far as the interview was not as hostile as the one that El -Sayed did with Jesse Waters.
300
Though that's also because Jesse Waters kind of just bounces between weirdo to fucking unhinged.
301
Right, but the idea that McCallum hardly pushed back on El -Sayed in the interview, that's kind of just nonsense.
302
Right, she spent the entire first half of this thing just grilling him about Islamic terrorism.
303
And El -Sayed, he just kept responding with pretty much the same thing.
304
Terrorists are bad, and war is not the solution.
305
I just want to say, there was no war, and then there was a war.
306
And more war has made us less safe.
307
It has increased our prices.
308
We also had a challenging amount of support for single payer health care.
309
More than half the people who died in England in
310
that year were on the NHS waiting list and they couldn't get any care.
311
So why would that be a better system for us?
312
Well, number one, I'm not advocating for the same system as the NHS.
313
number two we are the richest most powerful country in the world the idea
314
that we're going to point to another country who does something poorly
315
and say we can't possibly do it better is ridiculous
316
because we're the greatest country in the world
317
but then the second point i'll make here is
318
that do you know what the average wait time for a cardiologist in america is
319
tell me two and a half months
320
and then even at her fighting him on his support for taxing billionaires i understand you know thinking
321
that some people have too much money
322
but i guess the question is where do you draw the
323
line i mean we're the engine of the world for all these things
324
And some of those people end up being billionaires as a result.
325
But don't we all benefit from being this incredible powerhouse in the United States from their ingenuity?
326
Well, the issue is not that some people have too much money.
327
It's that the engine that created their opportunity to make money is being underfunded.
328
We talked about public schools.
329
We talked about health care.
330
We talked about child care.
331
We talked about infrastructure.
332
But then also one less substantive moment of the exchange has
333
gotten quite a bit of attention has been McCallum bringing up Hassan Piker.
334
And for context, she read out this quote
335
that he gave to New York Magazine when it asked him whether he felt abandoned by El -Sayed, given how they kind of put some distance between each other since the primary.
336
And you had Piker there saying, it doesn't matter because he's moving the fucking needle.
337
Saying he will push the boundaries on what is permissible on Israel, and I trust him to do that.
338
Saying I think he will try to do the very best to hold Israel accountable as a senator.
339
So I don't give a fuck that he's trying to move away from this conversation because, as I've said over and over again, it's a mine.
340
He's trapped.
341
What do you say to that?
342
Look, this campaign was never about a streamer in California this campaign was always about the price of gas and groceries, whether or not you could see a doctor when you get sick in the United States.
343
I know every time I have a conversation here that he's going to come up.
344
And the question is not about a relationship I got with a streamer in California.
345
There's not a relationship.
346
The reason I have a conversation with him is the same reason I have a conversation with you, because I want to talk to the folks out here who I want to have a conversation with.
347
Ultimately, the political drama and chaos moves forward another day, and I cannot wait for November 3rd.
348
And actually, you don't even have to wait till then.
349
Feel free to pause and screenshot, but early voting starts in your state right here.
350
You got it?
351
Make a plan, vote .org.
352
But then next up from that is Attorney General Ken Paxton bullying pediatricians to stay in Donald Trump's favor.
353
That's what you've got a lot of people asking right now
354
because also you may remember that Paxton recently announced
355
that he was opening an investigation into the American Academy of Pediatrics or with him accusing them of, quote, deceptively promoting childhood vaccines for financial gain.
356
And he said that they're just part to the sprawling for -profit conspiracy between doctors, drug companies, and insurers to pressure parents into vaccinating their kids.
357
Now, obviously, you're the Academy at large pushing back against that, saying in a statement that its vaccine advice is rooted in decades of peer -reviewed science.
358
Also adding that Paxton's investigation serves only to undermine public health, sow confusion and put more children at risk of preventable disease.
359
And you then add Dr. Catherine Edwards, a professor of pediatrics at Vanderbilt University, saying, everybody thinks of pediatricians as these mild -mannered people who have animals on their stethoscope
360
and would not fight their way out of a bag.
361
And adding this is another attempt at intimidation, but they're not being intimidated because their moral core is about the well -being of children.
362
And despite Paxton's promise that his investigation would be directed toward the state's largest medical providers, vaccine makers, and health insurers,
363
this New York Times report revealed that it's actually the little guys that are bearing the brunt of it.
364
Over the Times talking to a small Texas pediatrician who they call Dr. Rachel to preserve her privacy, Dr. Rachel said
365
that she recently received a notice from Paxton's Consumer Protection Division demanding her vaccine purchase records over the last 10 years.
366
And you had that notice saying they believe her to be in possession, custody, or control of material involving potential misleading or deceptive acts regarding incentives associated with the administration of childhood vaccines,
367
which they said could be against Texas deceptive trade practices law.
368
And then on top of that, they also demanded her practices vaccine policy and made a point of saying
369
that citing the childhood vaccine schedule recommended by the CDC would not be enough.
370
To Dr. Rachel, she had to spend nearly $15 ,000 in legal fees in order to answer the demand of her records.
371
Records that, by the way, consist of receipts for $18 vaccines given a decade ago
372
and details about a $40 batch of cookies a vaccine maker's representative brought to her office.
373
But then even still, she sent in the records only to get hit with another demand from Paxton's office, dismissing some of the initial responses as frivolous or improper.
374
And so she's gone back and forth with them twice now and is currently waiting with no idea what's coming next.
375
And before all this, she planned on keeping her practice open for years to come, but now between the stress and the legal fees, she's reconsidering that stance.
376
Retelling the Times at the very idea
377
that she was getting something out of encouraging parents to vaccinate their kids
378
or that she's motivated by greed is offensive and adding, I took it very personally because I take pride in what I do.
379
It felt like it was such a slap in the face and an insult.
380
And that's something that you've seen echoed by a lot of pediatricians, right?
381
This claim that they're raking in dough from vaccines is ridiculous.
382
Most of the time, they have to pay for the vaccines up front, store them, and then haggle with insurance to get them covered.
383
And then the craziest part about all this isn't even that Paxton is investigating pediatricians for literally doing their jobs, which includes protecting kids from potentially deadly diseases.
384
But the crazy part is that Paxton might not even really care about this.
385
Saying that this whole investigation smells like a political maneuver on Paxton's part, and he's saying damn the consequences right
386
and more specifically of some saying the entire investigation was just an attempt to try
387
and get and maintain trump's approval in the competitive primary earlier this year
388
and then the tight general election against james tylerico next month
389
and with that you have dr heidi russell a pediatrician
390
and director at the center of health policy at rice university in houston saying that Leaning into the anti -vax thing, it means that Paxton aligned himself with RFK Jr. And doing that got him the Trump endorsement.
391
But also actions have consequences and we could be seeing a serious ripple effect here.
392
Or we just don't know yet how many small practices like Dr. Rachel's have been targeted in Paxton's investigation.
393
And we don't know how many are considering closing their doors like she is.
394
And so you've got advocacy groups like Immunization Partnership saying this whole thing, it can make a lot of pediatricians think twice about opening practices in Texas altogether.
395
And then there's even more we gotta dive into in just a minute, but really quick, another break with a sponsor.
396
The internet has reached this fun point where one bad click, it can turn into I'm checking an email to cool, now I have a cybersecurity problem.
397
Because phishing links, fake websites, sketchy downloads, they're getting harder to spot and sometimes difference is literally one convincing looking URL.
398
And that's why I use today's sponsor, NordVPN, which has evolved beyond the VPN into an all -in -one digital security app.
399
Obviously, you still get the VPN, which helps encrypt your internet traffic and keeps what you're doing online more private.
400
But NordVPN has a built -in next -generation antivirus designed to identify fake shops, block scam and phishing sites, and scan downloads for malware,
401
which I appreciate because my personal cybersecurity strategy can't always be, ah, I think that link looks legit.
402
And then there's also Dark Web Monitor, which can alert you if information associated with your email shows up in a known data leak, you know, giving you a chance to actually do something about it.
403
And one NordVPN account, that can protect up to 10 devices.
404
So you're getting multiple layers of online protection without needing six different security apps doing six different things.
405
So yeah, give your online life an extra layer of protection with nordvpn
406
so yes scan that qr code
407
or go to nordvpn .com phil for the exclusive nordvpn deal
408
plus four additional months on a two -year plan that's nordvpn .com phil
409
and it's risk -free with nordvpn's 30 -day money -back guarantee
410
and then diving into the final block of today's show let's
411
talk about some more news you need to know pretty quickly
412
first up you know they've spent over a century committing lynchings burning down people's homes
413
and terrorizing black people but now you've got the kkk looking to rebrand
414
because for the last decade you've had experts warning about how right -wing politics
415
and social media they're feeding into this revival of white supremacists
416
and now you're getting reports from actual clan leaders like pastor thomas rob claiming
417
that it's given their numbers a boost as well
418
and rob he's the head of what used to be called the knights of the ku klux klan
419
but now you've got them shortening that to the knights party saying
420
that they're rebranding to focus on family
421
and faith you could also say that's been part of their
422
branding this whole time family is in anybody who's white
423
and faith is in christian nationalism
424
but since rob took over in 1989 he's tried to tweak
425
what that's looked like to get more supporters he said
426
that people are often hesitant to become a member
427
which i'm sure has to come with a territory of being known for brutal racist murders
428
but then also with that one of the changes that he's made is that new members can now participate
429
confidentially through the mail
430
so no one has to know what kind of you're supporting
431
he's also working to distance the group from the violence they've been known for with
432
that type of outreach he's even changed his title from grand wizard to national director to try
433
and sound a little less clannish but then with all
434
that one thing has stayed the same and
435
that is the racism he said that they're still based around their white nationalist church, so the social and political beliefs, they haven't budged.
436
So for example, he said in a recent interview
437
that he doesn't see politicians like Zoran Mamdani and Abdul El -Sayed as Americans, reclaiming that only the children of white foreigners can count there.
438
So it seems more like the rebrand is more of a repackaging.
439
It genuinely seems like you're getting the same old KKK, just with a different aesthetic.
440
Which also makes sense because you could just start a new group.
441
You could be like, hey guys, I started a whole new different thing.
442
But according to Rob, this has been working for them.
443
And while he said a lot of experts, you know, they credit Trump for the rise in white nationalism, he says it actually started with Obama, saying since then, people have said that they've been angered by what they see happening to the country.
444
I mean, they're seeing more interest because the Knights party gives those people a voice.
445
Also with this, I'll note that he's refusing to provide any membership numbers to prove that the movement is growing.
446
Though it is, I will say, at the very least off -putting that things are like so bad with politics right now.
447
At the very least, you could just look at the landscape and make claims like this and have them sound believable.
448
Also, you've got McDonald's in the news because they are now being accused of using AI to rig its menu prices.
449
They could actually be facing a class action lawsuit because of that.
450
Because last week, you had a report saying
451
that McDonald's pricing engine uses machine learning algorithms to attract transactions across almost 14 ,000 restaurants.
452
And they reportedly use that data to generate what they call the optimal price for each menu item, which changes depending on the location.
453
Apparently, the pricing tool alerts franchise owner
454
if their location's showing any sensitivity to price based on things like customers' willingness to pay.
455
And while with that, McDonald's said, hey, the owners are free to set their own prices, framing the software as a tool, not a mandate.
456
You then had owners claiming that the company pressured them to use it.
457
And you have reports saying that McDonald's even keeps a record of anyone who doesn't follow its pricing recommendations in their stores.
458
And so now this new lawsuit filed by Michael Thomas in Illinois says
459
that they violated U .S antitrust law by working with independent franchises to fix prices using algorithms trained on non -public data.
460
And you've got Thomas's lawyer arguing that McDonald's is leveraging its troves of data
461
and its franchise system to nickel and dime consumers down to the last French fry.
462
Though I will say you have McDonald's pushing back on that, saying that the reports that we got last week were speculative and uninformed, reclaiming that AI does not set the price of a Big Mac
463
or any other menu item and that the use of price recommendation tools is widespread across industries.
464
But for now, I'll say this still has to be court -certified, and so we're gonna see what actually happens from here.
465
And then last up today, it is official.
466
Paramount, they just merged with Warner Brothers, creating one of the largest entertainment companies in the world led by david ellison and
467
if you've been following this story with me you know this is coming after tons of pushback both from hollywood
468
and washington right ellison had to settle lawsuits with 12 states
469
and the writers guild of america before we could move forward
470
with this gavin newsom ag rob bonta la mayor karen bass they all got a lot of heat behind
471
that as well after all
472
that chaos you're now looking at a mega company valued at more than 110 billion dollars
473
and hitting on just how big it is i mean mission
474
impossible harry potter the dc universe networks like cbs cnn obviously paramount plus
475
and hbo max those are now all under the same umbrella you've got Ellison calling this juggernaut company Skydance, which he said was meant to retain the individual entities of Paramount
476
and Warner Brothers Studio rather than combining them under a new brand.
477
And now with that, he's about to get to work with his new co -CEO, Enon Christ.
478
And apparently the first to do is to figure out how to combine these companies
479
while delivering on their $6 billion cost savings plan.
480
And they're already expected to be about $80 billion in debt when the dust settles with this.
481
So you've got the financial pressure on and reports say that they're gonna be trying to get up their streaming numbers, keep money flowing to their cable networks and put asses in seats at theaters.
482
And also, of course, and this is gonna be one of the bigger things, they're gonna be looking to cut costs ASAP.
483
And really, it feels less like, are they gonna cut?
484
And more, how much are they going to cut?
485
Whether that be projects, people, whatever.
486
And that, my friends, you beautiful bastards, is the end of your Tuesday show.
487
As always, thank you for watching, liking, subscribing, being a part of these daily dives into the news, wherever you're getting it.
488
And hey, whether you leave from here or you click this video, because YouTube thinks that you really wanna watch this video, no matter what you do, I'll see you right back here tomorrow for another daily dive into the news.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
