WHY Jake Paul Anxiety Backlash Is SO HUGE, "Gun Girl" Kaitlin Bennett SWARMED By Protestors,

Feb 20, 2020
- Sup, beautiful bastards, I hope you had a fantastic Tuesday. Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco Show, buckle up, hit the like button and let's get into it. The first thing we're going to talk about today is just removing it. You had YouTuber Jake Paul, and for a variety of reasons, though, the main consensus is that people are angry. And the main reason Jake was trending, all these articles were being written, was because of this tweet. Whereas yesterday he said: "Remember,

anxiety

is created by you." Sometimes you have to let life unfold "and remind yourself to be happy" and that the answers will come. "Relax, go for a walk, talk to a friend." And after that tweet, there's a lot of

backlash

, some light, people joking: Oh my god, Jake Paul cured my

anxiety

!

A lot of people really clamp down on that first sentence, “remember, anxiety is created by you.” And many people take this as another version of when someone tells you to just not be anxious. And then we saw more serious responses like, “Anxiety is your own making,” unless you have an anxiety disorder. "In which case, it's your brain triggering "the flight/fight/freeze response" in inappropriate situations "and you have absolutely no say in it." Other creators, like Sierra Schultzzie, also chimed in and tweeted: "This is actually really damaging. "Anxiety can be incredibly physical and mental. "Mental illness is not the fault of the sufferer. “Please delete this, you are doing real harm” to your followers, who may very well need to “seek professional help for their problems.” You also tweeted at Colleen Ballinger: "Telling people with anxiety to just stop having anxiety 'doesn't help them with their anxiety.'" After apparently seeing the pushback we saw from Jake Paul, we tried to clarify his comment, saying: "What What I meant was that your anxiety "can increase if you let it." It doesn't just disappear. "Mine never does, but there are days when it's really bad" and then there are days when it's not so bad. "So if anxiety starts to build up, 'there are ways to help it calm down.'" And then he says, "Everyone is clowning about my tweet 'but there's no more awareness being spread' about anxiety, which I didn't even do it." I knew it was a thing "until I was 18, but I had it my whole life, "and now I never knew how to deal with it." And then I linked to a Healthline article called Coping with Anxiety. "11 simple ways and when to see a doctor." Now after that, there were still a lot of people explaining why they had big problems with his initial post.

This ranged from people calling him insulting to making patients feel that the reason they had a problem "But also, it should be noted, there were people who defended Paul. This ranges from he is trying to raise awareness about a serious problem , and that he meant well, and even if you don't agree with his opinion on this, use this as an opportunity to educate instead of just draw attention. Now, all that being said, as far as my opinion on this goes , I should point out that I don't like Jake Paul for several reasons. I question his character a lot.

But, for a situation as serious as this, applicable to as many people as possible, I think it's an opportunity to educate. Now, as for There's such a big emotional reaction, I understand where it's coming from. If you're someone who suffers from anxiety, suffers from depression or anything like that, I highly recommend a comedy special, which I know sounds strange to say, Gary Gulman, The Great Depresh, is a special on HBO and covers not only anxiety, but also depression. But in that special, one note that hits, and I think that's why people have such a big reaction, is that for years and years and years, to various people, if you told them you had a problem, you were depressed, you were anxious, most people said, well, why do you have to be anxious or depressed?

Or they gave you a prescription to just don't be like that. To add to that and I echo my wife here, everyone experiences depression and everyone experiences anxiety in a different way. So a Jake Paul, who may not experience the intense anxiety that you feel in your daily life, may think, oh hey, this is actually a trick I use to make myself less miserable. But if you don't understand that, your anxiety can be different, it can be debilitating. Or you may have only experienced a five to seven foot wave while dealing with tsunamis. And, on top of that, I look at Jake Paul, who is 23, and try to remember how ignorant he was at 23.
Hell, even at 30. On a variety of topics, and for this specific topic, It makes me save gallows. That being said, I personally doubt and question Jake Paul's character a lot and to what extent it means anything, his intentions behind doing something, I will always believe it is for personal gain. But that is based on historical actions. What we've seen him do in the past, recent actions, but I always hope someone can improve. But, having said that, around this specific topic that is the story, a bit of my personal conclusion. And of course, I'd love to pass the question on to you.

And we had David Dobrik and Natalie Noel take a friendship test. And, if you want to see the full versions of everything I just shared, the secret link of the day, really anything, the links, as always, are in the description below.
And then, let's talk about the story and the situation with Kaitlin Bennett, who many of you may know better as Gun Girl. And for those of you who don't know, she is a gun rights activist who went viral in 2018. That's because after graduating from Kent State University, she posted a photo of herself walking around campus with a gun and his graduation cap that reads "Come and Take It." And that then caused quite a stir online, especially since Kent State was once home to a tragic shooting. But since then, he's also done other things, including making videos for Info Wars and Liberty Hangout, which describes itself as a libertarian media group.
That group, in particular, has faced controversy, including recently tweeting that being gay is a choice. Many also share what appears to be a deleted tweet, where they took a poll questioning the legitimacy of the Holocaust. Additionally, when it comes to Bennet herself, her videos, she often goes to public places, often college campuses, and interviews people on the street about hot topics. Things like gender-inclusive bathrooms, abortion, the right to bear arms, among other things. And there, many argue that Bennet, being a conservative, is trying to provoke liberal college students, or simply cause outrage online with these videos.
And while she doesn't lack followers, there is definitely an audience that craves things like that, many of these videos have gone viral and received criticism or just people just making fun of her. And we hope that kind of simplified background gives you an idea of ​​what we're talking about and also leads us to today's story, because she had plans to do one of those videos at Ohio University on Monday. Now, it is believed that the purpose of the video is to ask students trivia questions about Presidents' Day, but when it arrived, it was met with protests.
And a lot of students posted videos and TikToks of this, you saw people screaming, singing, and this particular video got a lot of attention online. - Nobody likes you! (crowd singing and applauding) - Where's your diaper? -Also, for those wondering about the toilet paper and diaper singing, there is a joke and rumor online that Bennet pooped his pants at a party. But anyway, that is why, at the protest, there are a series of videos where you can see toilet paper being thrown at him. In others, you see her surrounded, yelling at him, Kaitlin also posted one of the videos of her, students throwing liquids at her car as she drove away.
It also prevents the car from actually moving. And, after all this, we end up seeing her tweet: "This is what happens when a Trump supporter" goes to a college campus. "Leftists at Ohio University started a riot "when Joel Patrick and I arrived" and the OU police allowed it to happen. "I think Donald Trump should defund "universities like this that harbor terrorists." Notably, we also saw the Ohio University Police Department issue a statement about the incident, writing that Bennet had cited: "Engaged in constitutionally protected activity." It attracted a large crowd of people, "many with opposing views," who also chose to exercise their first amendment rights." He added that they were there to protect these rights, the safety of the people and, apart from asking them to maintain spaces cleared, no one was asked to leave.
And, in regards to Bennet's initial tweet calling the scene of a riot, they said: "Contrary to accusations circulating on social media, "the The incident did not rise to the level of a riot. "There was strong language and accusations that 'some strangers in the crowd splashed water.' No injuries "or violence were reported and no one was arrested during the event." And he also added that Bennet did not notify police that he would be attending the school campus. Which, it should be noted, is not mandatory. But he would have given them notice in terms of staffing levels.
Now, Bennet was not happy with her response, she shared her statement and claimed that hot coffee had been thrown at her and the car was vandalized. And then she stated, "I will definitely return to the Ohio University campus again," and next time I will take an army of gun owners "for an open walk around campus." Don't keep us silent. "Like Donald Trump, we will always win." And also that this morning the FBI had contacted her about credible threats against her. And after this, there was a series of reactions, some people defended her, some said things like, "I'm a former OU graduate and this makes me sick." "There are people who have different opinions," but acting and doing the things that these students "were doing, unacceptable human behavior," regardless of your opinion, "belief, political party, etc." BlazeTV reciprocated, with Elijah Schaffer tweeting: "Violence against conservatives is not okay 'just because it's socially acceptable.'" "You can't attack someone just because they 'voted for Donald Trump.'" Or attack you because he doesn't agree "with you politically." James Woods, who is now back on Twitter, calls it a display of mob mentality on the part of the Democrats.
But also, several people were happy that Kaitlin Bennet was received like this. One of the people who shared the video said that Bennet "really doesn't understand that this is the care she ordered." Others also share this sentiment, with one student telling Athens News: "I feel like she just got here ". to get this reaction."Others say that Bennet and Liberty Hangout have shared hateful opinions and that Bennet often harasses people. We also saw several people say that Kaitlin and the people who are offended by her are hypocrites. Other tweets note: "The funniest part of Kaitlin Bennet's shit" is watching conservatives love a president "who bullies people and cries because someone is being bullied." And here, highlighting among other things, the president's attack on Greta Thunberg, whom he described as a real

girl

.
And along with all of that, we saw a number of people argue that, essentially what we saw aside from a few cases of people apparently throwing a liquid, that, overall, this was the first amendment in action. Or essentially saying that Kaitlin has freedom of speech, but that doesn't immunize her against people reacting and also yelling at her with words. But ultimately, that's where we find ourselves with this story, and I'd really love to hear her take on this topic. Because what's interesting to me is that I feel like everyone is leaving the situation, feeling like they won.
And what I mean by that is that I think there will be a number of people who will be happy to see the disaster of the Bennet protest. Seeing it as a kind of united front and reaction against someone who they see as a troll, a bigot. But on the other side of this, there will be people showing these videos as left-wing bigotry, especially at the end where they start throwing liquids at cars. And this is arguably one of the most viral incidents involving Bennet since she first blew up. So this, if anything, only raises her profile.
I mean, my personal opinion on the matter, based on the videos I've seen her post, is that she doesn't really want a conversation, she wants a confrontation, and that's actually what we saw here. Well, that's also why I think this is probably fuel for her and her career. And you look at Twitter and you see Bennet using this as an opportunity to try to engage Donald Trump and other gun owners. Yes, ultimately, that's where we are right now. And I'd really love to know your thoughts on this one. And the last thing we're going to talk about today is a situation involving Attorney General Bill Barr, Roger Stone and President Donald Trump.
Now, I mentioned this briefly last week when the story was first developing. But the background here is that Roger Stone was a long-time friend and advisor to Donald Trump. And in November, he was found guilty of seven counts of witness tampering and lying to Congress. But those allegations stem in particular from special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. For this reason, last Monday, prosecutors in the case recommended that Stone serve between seven and nine years in prison. Immediately after, we saw Donald Trump tweet: "This is a horrible and very unfair situation. "The real crimes were on the other side," as nothing happens to them. "We cannot allow this miscarriage of justice." And after that , we saw the Justice Department announce that it was changing the sentencing recommendation.
An anonymous Justice Department official told reporters at the time that the recommendation was "not what had been reported to the department." Adding: "The department considers that the recommendation is extreme "and excessive and disproportionate to Stone's crimes." and, an important note here, is that this decision by the department to overrule career attorneys was highly unusual. So it was not surprising that, after that, four prosecutors withdrew from Roger Stone's case, and one of them resigned from his job at the Justice Department altogether. And with this, we saw many people criticizing the move, including former Justice Department officials under both Democratic and Republican administrations.
He also accused Barr of intervening on Trump's behalf to lighten the sentencing recommendation for a Trump ally, and some also said this is not the first time he has done this. And the Justice Department, for its part, defended the move, with a spokeswoman telling reporters that Justice Department officials did not discuss the Stone case with the White House. And also stating that the decision to rescind the recommendation was actually made before Trump's tweet. Trump also denied claims that he directed the Justice Department to change his recommendation. However, the next day we saw Trump tweet: "Congratulations to Attorney General Bill Barr" for taking on a case "that was totally out of control and maybe shouldn't even" have been brought. "The evidence now clearly shows" that Muller's scam was presented inappropriately and tainted. "Even Bob Mueller lied to Congress." And then that tweet escalated and, for many people, justified claims that the attorney general was doing Trump a favor.
But then on Thursday, we saw Barr do an interview with ABC, and there he defended his actions in the Stone case, saying that he and his staff made the decision before Trump's tweets, and denying that Trump played a role in it. . But he also said Trump's tweet complicated things, saying the incident illustrates how disturbing these tweets can be, and when asked if he had a problem with the tweets, he responded: - Yeah, well, I have a problem with some of them. of the tweets. I'm happy to say that, in fact, the president never asked me to do anything in a criminal case.
However, having public statements and tweets made about the department, about the people of the department, our men and women here, about pending cases in the department and about the judges we have cases before, makes it impossible for me to do my job. . I cannot do my job here in the department with constant background commentary that undermines me. - And then, in a statement responding to what Barr said in the interview, White House spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said: "The president was not bothered at all by the comments," and he had the right, as any American citizen , ". publicly offer their opinions." However, we saw a debate around that Barr clip.
Some people take that clip and those statements at face value and say, yeah, you see a guy trying to do his job, Trump is making it difficult for him. But others argue that what we are seeing here is a coordinated effort by Trump and the White House with Barr and the Justice Department to separate each other. Basically, Barr was trying to make it seem like there's a separation, that maybe there's even a disagreement between the two, even though he's doing the president's bidding. Now also with this, we have seen Trump continue to tweet about the case.
With Trump on the offensive this morning on Twitter and threatening to sue everyone involved in the special counsel investigation, stating that Stone's prosecutors were subpoenaed: "Muller prosecutors" in writing. "Everything to do with this fraudulent investigation" is very tainted and, in my opinion, "should be discarded." And he continues: "The whole thing was a total scam." If he weren't president, he would be suing everyone "everywhere, but maybe he still does it, witch hunt." Trump also tweeted comments made by Fox News commentator Andrew Napolitano, who said Stone's defense team requested a second trial because a juror was biased against Trump, and because of that quote: "Almost any judge in the country "I would order a new trial." Furthermore, regarding criticism of Barr, that has not stopped.
In fact, one of the most notable things is that on Sunday we saw former Justice Department officials from the Republican and Democratic administration sign a letter published on Medium. There they condemned Trump and Barr, and also called on Barr to resign. Written: "Such behavior poses a serious threat" to the fair administration of justice. "In this nation, we are all equal before the law." A person should not receive special treatment "in a criminal proceeding" because he is a close political ally of the president. "Governments that use the enormous power of law enforcement to punish their enemies and reward their allies are not constitutional republics, they are autocracies." And, later adding: "Mr.
Barr's actions "in carrying out the president's personal orders" unfortunately speak louder than his words. "Those actions, and the damage they have caused "to the Justice Department's reputation for integrity and the rule of law, "require Mr. Barr to resign." And, so far, that letter currently has more of 2,000 signatures. We also saw reports that the federal judges association has called an emergency meeting to address the intervention of Justice Department officials and Trump in politically sensitive cases. But, ultimately, that is where we are now We'll just have to wait and see what happens. Right now, Roger Stone will be sentenced Thursday morning.
As for what happens from there, I don't think anyone knows. But I'd say it's not a crazy idea. to think that Donald Trump wouldn't use a And I say this because, in particular, Trump's allies have not yet received commutations or pardons. So today Trump went on what people have been calling a wave of pardons: pardons and commutations of sentences, and among them, the one who received a commuted sentence was Rod Blagojevich, who, if you don't remember, received a 14-year prison sentence for extortion, bribery and corruption. And, some background here, if you're unfamiliar, as Axis explains, "Blagojevich, a former contestant "on Trump's Celebrity Apprentice," attempted to trade an appointment "to Barack Obama's Senate seat "for campaign contributions" after the 2008 presidential election." And, as for the timeline, "The Illinois Legislature impeached and removed Blagojevich for abuse of power "and corruption in 2009." And ultimately, he was found guilty of 17 charges in 2011.
And there are two key things to pay attention to right now. One, Blagojevich was a Democrat, and two, Trump has called Blagojevich's sentence ridiculous. And he has said that "it was a result of the same group" behind the Russiagate investigations "that targeted him and his assistants "during the first three years of his presidency." And that is why some here believe that Blagojevich, to some extent period, he's being used as a shield. So essentially he's trying to make himself known as trying to help the victims of a ridiculous group that only wanted to do harm, and not the president using his power to protect his allies.
But in Ultimately, we'll just have to wait and see. That's the story, a little bit of my opinions, some guesswork, but, with that, I'd love to hear your thoughts on what's going on here.
