The FGTeev Duddy Situation is Deeply Concerning & Andrew Tate's Problems Just Got Worse

When a YouTube's biggest gaming and family creators just dreamed a deeply disturbing video calling his entire family demons that slept fans horrified, we go inside Trump's DOJ hiring conspiracy theorist, election hackers, and lawyers with some truly bizarre histories. Would a lot of people have missed it about Hollywood's skewering tech billionaires this month and why Andrew Tates getting hit with bestiality accusations? We're talking about all of that, and even more. On today's brand new Philip DeFranco show, you daily dive into the news starting with this. One of the most requested stories today kind of came out of nowhere on the text line. Let's talk about this tragic and scary situation with Dutty of FGTV. And if you don't know where you're not familiar 'cause we're all in our very specific online bubbles, FGTV is this massive family gaming and vlogging empire led by Vincent and Samantha Carter, AKA Dutty and Moomey, and then they're four kids. And they have over 25 and a half million subscribers to their main channel alone with millions more across other affiliated channels and social media accounts. And while a lot of the family content, it's usually centered around gaming. Dutty, he also regularly makes posts about Jesus, God and Christianity kind of more broadly than some of the accounts that focus more specifically on him. But then yesterday, he made some very, very concerning comments on an Instagram live in a series of stories that have been since reupload. And so you have him saying that his real last name is actually Pampina and that people were trying to clone him. - No, I'm not a clone, guys. I'm telling you that they're gonna, this is the real me and they're gonna clone me. They're gonna clone me because Jesus is coming back. I think really soon, guys, I think really soon, Jesus is gonna take people and they're gonna go missing. And then when they go missing, there's gonna be a doppelganger. - You then have him going back to talking about God and Satan and then asking some people to record his story telling people that posted everywhere and at it. - I probably should be driving, to be honest. But I have to post this because if something comes out in the news and somebody says that I did something and they said I went crazy, I'm not suicidal and I need everybody to take this really serious right now. Because no one around me is actually helping me. - And then after that, he says that Jesus saved his life. He claims that Islam is part of the anti-Christ plan but that he loves Muslims and suggests that some of the news that we see might not be rewritten. And also he says this and this has been kind of the thing that a lot of people understandably have been honing in. - Well, I don't trust my family any longer. I don't trust Alexis, I don't trust Mike. I don't trust Chase Shawner Samantha. I want to say without a doubt that my family, my whole family, everybody in it, they're all the devil. They're all demons. And I know you guys are gonna think I'm crazy. But I want you to look up Chad Doherman. I want you to look up Chad Doherman who killed his three kids. And Chad Doherman said, Chad Doherman said that God told him to kill his children 'cause he saw a Bible verse about Abraham sacrificing Isaac. And so he went home and killed his kids because the devil can use anything and the greatest trick that the devil ever played was that he didn't exist. And I know that I think these stories are probably gonna end in like cops coming to get me. And so when I go missing guys, if you see another meat come out, it's not meat. - So he says the name of his kids, he's talking about his family and the man that he's referencing there right, Chad Doherman. There's a real guy who killed three young sons and claimed that he did it for God. So a pretty fucking scary thing to reference. But then also after that, he continued to insist that he was in a sound state of mind. - Hey, thanks, and I need everybody to record this and post this all over the internet. This isn't a joke. And Dutty's not having a mental breakdown. People are gonna say, oh, it's religious psychosis. All I know is somebody's gotta believe me. That my family's the devil, they're the anti-Christ. And the tribulation is probably, probably about to happen. - Also, you haven't repeatedly saying that there are imposterous among us and he floats various conspiracies. - Remember the game, the video game among us? There's an imposter among us. What if that was a real, what if that was real? I don't know, we gotta weed out. 'Cause there's imposterous among us guys. Every person who ever did anything wrong is going to heaven because there's an actual upside down to this world. What if stranger things was real? What would it be that we don't remember the bad things that we do? Like the really bad things or whatever? Because our bodies are actually being, I don't know. Body swapped, soul-snatching, lizard men, all these things, right? - And then there's a lot more talk about Christ, scripture, church, and various religious references that kind of seem incoherent and disconnected. - I think all religion is false. Except for, I believe that there's a God and it's found in Jesus. And my car is literally surrounded in blood. Go ask a witch because they travel through dreams and they see children sitting in blood and they're not allowed to touch them because the parents prayed, impleted the blood of Jesus over the children. - And so all in all, just very concerning and scary stuff. And so understandably, you had a lot of people online expressing their concern for dead. Or with many saying that he seems to be going through religious psychosis. Also, others arguing that it looks like he might be on drugs with some noting how he's moving his mouth. - Another thing people have been noticing, including me is his jaw and how it's twitching everywhere. I'm not gonna make any blatant statements, of course, but it definitely seems like he's on something. If anybody knows anything about Coke, your jaw twitches a ton while you're on it. - You then also saw a lot of people expressing concern for the safety of the family. Because I'm saying someone needed to call the authorities because he posed a real danger to himself and others. So then also, I'm not gonna feature them here because it's the internet. You had a lot of people posting edits, making fun of it. But then as far as the family, you had Duddy's wife Samantha, actually making a post on Instagram where she confirmed that she and her family are safe and then added, my husband is currently okay. And right now our main focus is our family and making sure our children are protected and supported. I'm saying I understand to some people what is being posted may seem like entertainment, gossip, or something to watch from the outside. But for my children, I mean, this is real life. We are living through what feels like a nightmare right now and seeing such a painful situation continue to circulate online only makes an already difficult time even harder. Samantha, asking the public if her family privacy and grace and concluding, you're taking things one moment at a time and trusting God to carry us through. Well, obviously many, including a lot of their fans, are gonna keep their eyes on this situation. I also think that whenever we talk about a situation like this on the show, it can serve another purpose. That can be a reminder to check in on your family and friends. It also be a reminder, check in on yourself. Any conservators or reminder that there are resources out there for you and them. So if you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, you can call or text the 98-suicide crisis lifeline and also for more long term needs, check out NAMI.org or S-A-M-H-S-A.gov. And then of course, always call 911 first if there's any kind of life threatening emergency. Right, and then jumping from this big online conversation to another, we've got to talk about Hollywood's favorite supervillains. And that's because at least right now, they're not the fictional kind. They are the very real and for many, very hateable tech leaders. Part of the reason you're seeing this play out is there are these four scathing new movies and documentaries about tech CEOs that are getting a lot of attention. And then with that, they're sparking interesting observations and conversations around the zeitgeists and the tensions between the entertainment and tech industries. So I will say personally, I have a bit of my own take on this that I'll add on to the end. But you've got Artificial, that's the biopic starring Andrew Garfield as open AI, CEO Sam Altman. You're also getting the social network sequel to social reckoning, this time starring Jeremy Strong, his Facebook founder and met a CEO, Mark Zuckerberg. And then as far as documentaries, you have Musk, which is a four hour long take down. Elon Musk, of course, is the CEO of Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter. And then finally, at least for this conversation, you have the very highly anticipated Nathan Fielder doc. You can see everything, which is about there and it was founder Elizabeth Holmes. Right in the previews that are out there for this movie, they give you kind of a good sense of how these people are being portrayed as cartoonishly evil and like sociopathic. - Industries aren't gonna collapse. And we get to be the ones to shepherd people in to this new world. We're not. People can post what they want. We're not the rest. We're the public square. - This is a car that lies to you about what it's doing. - As a result, young woman lost her life and a young man was forever injured. - Twitter is the place where Elon can tell his side of history. - I don't have anything to deceive you on. Of course, I'm not deceiving you. I'm engaging with you as a human being. Why would I deceive you? - I especially love that last clip. If not just for it, it's also the memes we've seen around it. Well, the number of these films are highly anticipated as far as how the tech industry is reacting to it. You have political reporting that they're just kind of unbothered. Or with, for example, a founder of a left-leaning tech lobby group describing the industry's reaction as a collective shrug and saying they put their blinders on and focus on shipping product on not losing their edge. So also, some of the subjects of the films they do seem fairly bothered. And so, for example, you had Altman giving a snarky reaction to CNBC saying, "I did see the movie trailer. I mean, it looks like an awful movie, but I appreciate people's creativity and I really do support that." And as far as Musk, he called the doc about him, a hit piece in the Zuckerberg. He hasn't commented on the sequel yet. And of course, you have these movies and docs coming at a time where you have a new terrifying headline about technology playing out literally every day. Lots of them, of course, happen to do with AI, whether it's the ongoing possibility of human extinction, a new instance of agents going rogue and hacking into something important or the AI company CEO is admitting, "Hey, we have very real concerns in actually begging government officials and organizations for regulation." Oh, wow, you've got polls out there like a recent CNN poll showing that a large majority of Americans say that they are more concerned than excited about AI. And then you have this fresh wave of AI anxiety, coinciding with new headlines about the bear. serious risks of social media use. Or because there was that major meta lawsuit where they settled with 47 states, the District of Columbia and US territories, where they agreed to make changes to their products over social media addiction claims. And that of course has been getting heat for the Ray-Bang glasses, which many are calling pervert glasses. So then again, with all that, you have people talking about how this wave of movies it reflects Americans growing resentment toward the people of the helm of these companies. Rain is Mark Casson, a filmmaker and co-founder of the Civic Engagement website, a starting point to put it. The on-screen villains change based on what the pervasive fear is. The fact that a handful of extraordinarily wealthy people could have all the technology that could control all of society and dull out our futures to us as they see fit is a fair fear. And these films all play on that. And while a number of these, they could be huge hits, the story is also, I think, a little more complicated. Because while clearly, there is a lot of interest in a number of these stories. You got tech leaders making these films one more and more difficult to get made. Right? I mean, one example being artificial. That movie was originally set to be distributed by Amazon MGM Studios, but then Amazon dropped the film in June saying that it would, quote, "be better served if it were released by a different studio," or which I'm sure just has nothing to do with Amazon's massive partnership with OpenAI, the subject of the movie. And also for a while, it was unclear if there would be an international release of Musk, because there was a domestic premiere set for October 9th, but no international release date as of mid-September. So you had that, along with the report that Universal Pictures, which holds the films or received distribution rights, might not release. And Musk's attorney apparently sent director Alex Gibney a, quote, "frosty legal letter." So there appears to be more going on than a bunch of people that don't care. Ultimately, artificial was saved by a smaller distributor, Neon, and the international release of Musk, is now going ahead as planned. And so with all that, I think the final thing, it kind of comes down to two things, though it's all connected. One, I think that the timing of these movies is very interesting, or we're talking October releases, just ahead of the November 3rd election. So obviously, if you're talking about something that might help public opinion or change public opinion or have some sort of short term impact, that potentially is there. Then also, too, I think the timing of these movies is interesting because they're coming after another movie that seems to comment on these types of movies, and that is digger. A movie that largely the critics skewered as far as public opinion, that's kind of all over the place. I personally love the movie. But without ruining it, I would say it's a movie that critiques movies like these, a few of these that are coming out. We're proposing a narrative that, hey, these movies, these pieces of entertainment, they can be cathartic. But also do they largely just placate us, where we get to point to a thing and go, yeah, we got them. Meanwhile, the people with the power, meanwhile, the billionaires, they continue doing what they're doing to us and the world. But these pieces of entertainment, they often end up not actually being vehicles for change, but things that kind of just keep things the status quo. So in a certain way, it not only ends up criticizing satire, but people that consume it and then do not take action. So actually, if there's any way that I can end this piece, it's going to be, let's say two things. I don't want to turn this into a, this could be a video on its own. One, for the immediate short term, hey, the election is less than a month away early voting is happening in a number of states. Look, here's your little cheat sheet. You can pause and get that for yourself. Go to vote.org, make a voting plan. Find out where to vote. Do all that goodness. Get people to go out with you and with that vote all the way down the ballot because everything matters. Yes, nationally, but also hyper local too. If you want to have some of the most meaningful impact, start local, whether it's working with local organizations, like a food bank of some sort, whether it's running for hyper local office, those local offices, y'all are so important. You might not think you're qualified. I've seen a lot of the people that are running, especially on the other side. There's a lot of unqualified people there. I've met a lot of you. You suffer from being so smart that you have reasonable concerns about yourself and not like a crazy, I'm better than everyone mindset. Your local communities, your states, your country, need you. Andor, you can group together and support those people. Whatever you have, your time, your skills, your money, my whole thing is, hey, I'm in my opinion, no one's special, but I do have the ability of having a wallet and also having a spotlight to point at things. Very fortunate, but things do not change unless we do it all together because you can't just count on the people that are in privileged situations. I've met a lot of them, some good, some bad. There are a number of them that are more than happy to pull the ladder up behind themselves. And all of this because the two things, I say the most on this show these days, unfortunately, it can't just be, don't be stupid, stupid anymore. You may not fuck with politics, but politics will fuck with you, so be the change you want to see. And then there's a lot more, we got to dive into in just a minute, but two things really quick. One, if you haven't yet, hit this video with a like, make sure you're subscribed with all notifications turned on. We're a lovely pack of weirdos. I try to break down the news with you every day.

See meatfabric.com traditional disclosures. This is a paid ad. But then, Devon, right back into the news, when you go to the polls devote next month to your vote and early, there's actually a pretty good chance that you're going to be watched. And that's because you've got Trump's DOJ plan to descend to thousand election monitors, polling sites in all 50 states. And while you've got Todd Blanche insisting that it's totally legal and normal, you've got the NAACP suing his department, right? To be clear, there is no federal statute that gives the U.S. Department of Justice the right to send their so-called election monitors to polling sites across the country. And this administration is made clear its intent to disrupt and interfere with the way elections are run in our country. Today, my focus with you isn't on that story as much as the woman behind it. Right, Harmeet Dylan. She's the head of the Justice Department's once-fame civil rights division. Because ever since Trump's people installed her early last year, upward of 300 non-political career employees have left the division. And that's his underdilence leadership at pretty much 180 on its original mission, dropping many ordinary civil rights cases instead, going after schools for alleged anti-white discrimination. And then Dylan attempted to fill its depleted ranks, hiring 126 new lawyers, declaring that she was revamping a division that had been dominated by liberals for far too long. Now, you've got the New York Times taking a look at some of these people's backgrounds and surprise-surprise. Some of them are fucking nuts. You've got conspiracy theorists, partisan warriors, people with few relevant qualifications, and even convicted criminals. So if we just take a quick stroll through this gallery of weirdos, we'll start with Exhibit A, James Breslow. He's a former business lawyer and gambling executive who's now helping the DOJ sue the UCLA's medical school for anti-white discrimination. And if for some reason that name sounds familiar, it's probably because he's hosted a podcast called Hidden Truth. Epstein is Luciferium. Who killed John F. Kennedy and why? January 6th, yeah. We may learn that this was an antifa plot. Bio-labs in Ukraine. The pandemic was a stealth biological weapons attack on the U.S. that my law firm used to defend companies on race and sex discrimination cases. And I used to say that, you know, really, you shouldn't need these protections. You shouldn't need these protections from government. If a business chooses to have a business that serves only whites, well, good luck to you. Let's see how you do. And then, moving on to let's call it Exhibit B. You have gun rights activists, Barry Errington, who heads a new second amendment unit. Though before that, he made his name as an opponent of the theory of evolution and same-sex marriage. And then last year, he convinced the Supreme Court to strike down Colorado's ban on conversion therapy. The next step, for Exhibit C, you've got Peter Famen, a former lawyer from Florida, who's now Senior Counsel for the Civil Rights Division. And in 2021, he accused Michigan so-called "diabolical governor" Gretchen Whitmer, forcing citizens to get "the mark of the B" spy, which he meant the COVID vaccine. He also claimed that January 6th was a false flag operation orchestrated by liberals and then compared them to Nazis' writing. Trump voters, unlike the German citizens, who kept silent in the 1930s, have guns. Then, for Exhibit D, there is Khalil Quentin, who's handling criminal cases with the DOJ. Or but last year, he was forced to quit the Florida State Attorney's Office after botching the murder trial of only fans' model Courtney Clanny. Or with the judge rolling at a viewed and shared eye-cloud files explicitly marked as privileged communications between the defendant's family and the defense lawyers. Then, you have Exhibit D, Daniel Flickinger, who is also forced to resign from his law firm in discrease after he made a Facebook post in June of 2020, where an effort George Floyd was killed with it reading. Things I think about. If I were a seven-time felon with my most recent prison stint stemming from robbing and holding a pregnant woman at gunpoint in her home, when I choose to die in a fentanyl and methamphetamine numbed strangulation, if I meant being worshipped in a nationwide funeral in my family receiving millions of dollars. Purely hypothetical. And then, the next two exhibits, they pertain to people who are working on cases for the Civil Rights Division related to voting and elections. Or which is an especially controversial area, because critics see them as basically just helping Trump undermine the electoral process. So, the first guys you've got are William Mormon and David Michael Leven, both of whom you can see in this video from August. It's the day of Minnesota's primary elections, and they're seeing approaching a polling place while a local election official warns them to stay back, because legally they're not allowed inside. Oh, not at all. And that's why, see, this is where the bucks are not going to stop. I have somebody I can call to you. I talk to like, if you have more questions, I'm just excited. As it turns out, before this, Mormon, he was a lawyer for Minneapolis police officers who were charged in connection with the murder of George Floyd. So, you know, the exactly the guy you'd want for the Civil Rights Division. As far as Leven, well, he's a criminal. Right back in 2015, 2016, as a political stunt, he hacked into the election system for Lee County Florida twice, and then pleading his felony down to a pair of misdemeanors and then doing three weeks in jail and two years of probation. Though more recently, he's been accused of shady stuff again, because of his connection to a company that provides customer leads to insurance companies. Over the clients who ing him and his wife are providing unusable leads, and judges in that case repeatedly reprimanded them for not turning over documents and ignoring court orders, rules, and procedures. In fact, as recently, as of August, the court made a pay over $200,000 in damages and lawyer fees for engaging in fraudulent misrepresentation and civil conspiracy. Then next up, you've got another guy working on election cases for the DOJ being David Van Den Berga, former assistant district attorney in El Paso, Texas. And also, you had a former supervisor telling the times that he was hot-headed in the workplace once braiding a coworker over a photo-copier dispute and once, chatting a court official, which got him barred from the courtroom. And when she was asked, whether the DOJ should have hired him, his supervisor said no, hell no. Oh, and then also he is facing charges of animal neglect. And last year a mother sued him for deliberately sideswiping her car, flashing his DA's badge and then fleeing the scene in a hit and run. And then, last but not least, we have Eric Neff, who is leading the entire voting section for the DOJ Civil Rights Division. Or with his thing being that he got suspended from his work as an LA prosecutor because he allegedly botched a case having to do with elections. Yet I'm charging the executive of software company for restoring poll workers data on a Chinese server, but his bosses ended up having to yank the indictment and pay the company $5 million for a settlement. Still, you're that whole case becoming a flashpoint for conservatives alleging that there was some kind of election rig conspiracy involving China in 2020. And so that's how Neff seemingly came to hold power in the DOJ. So yeah, fun story and times, right? Just thought you should know. But then also, like the insanity we're seeing, it doesn't stop with one division. It extends to the entire DOJ and even the FBI. Right, and you've got Trump and his going, seemingly ordering both to violate the Constitution over a TikTok video. Right, one of the things I'm talking about there is about this new whistle blower report from the former FBI Intelligence Analyst Jill Fields. Because you have fields saying that she was reassigned from the cartel squad in the LA Field Office to work as oversight on investigations related to the anti-ice protests across the country last year. And in her complaint, she said that there were two separate incidents where either the White House or DOJ officials pressured FBI staff to open investigations into people protesting ICE. And that's a key thing. All they were doing was protest. And so in one of the examples, she said that Trump saw a video on TikTok, a protesters outside of LA using megaphones to tell people about their rights and give warnings if ICE agents were around. Good morning, community. This president of ICE here has not opened his report. They are not allowed to go in unless they want to open his report. Time right guys. That they have to show through your video so don't open the door. Get out of there, neighborhoods. What are you doing? Why are you terrorizing people with it? Why are you presenting people here? We're not watching here. You are not open here. No! It's not open in our neighborhood. No! And according to their report, you had Trump seeing that, getting pissed and ordering FBI director Cash Patel to have the LA field office open an investigation into those protesters specifically. And you had fields also saying that another FBI official told her that in a meeting with Patel, they were told, quote, "Trump was angry about the incident and he wanted those protesters investigated and arrested." And so just to be clear, right? This is a key thing. It is both illegal and against bureau policy to open investigations into protesters solely for first amendment activity, for which does include peaceful protests. And these were, according to field's report, peaceful protests saying that a preliminary review by the FBI found that the protests from the video, quote, "never cross the line into impeding a raster being a threat." But then even after they reached that conclusion, field said that she and other agents were told that the investigation would continue because Trump wanted it done. Right then, you have this other incident where then acting deputy attorney general, Emil Bove, is said to have ordered FBI leaders in LA to investigate any anti-ISR CBP protesters demonstrating at federal buildings in the city. And again, despite that being super fucking illegal, do you have field saying that she took her concerns outside of her chain of command and was then promptly reassigned? Or with the report saying that it seemed like a retaliation move, which, according to fields, created a chilling effect within the workforce by signaling to other employees that raising constitutional or legal concerns could carry professional consequences. So she quit and she wasn't alone in that. According to Reconplain, at least one other senior FBI official in charge of privacy and so liberties matters was upset with the investigations and said that she planned on resigning. Right then, the reason that we know about any of this is because a Democratic senator, Alex Padilla, who included the report in a letter to cash, Patel, and Attorney General Todd Blanche, demanding answers to a whole list of questions. Or saying that field is compliant shows that both the DOJ and the FBI are willing to start investigations simply at the request of the White House or Trump loyalists, disregarding all of the red flags from senior staff or even agency policy and the Constitution. And adding that both Blanche and Patel promised in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee not to pursue political investigations in this report, it calls all of that into question. And in addition to that, it raises even more concerns about other investigations that have been opened during their tenure. Right, how many other people have been unconstitutionally looked into for simply exercising their rights? Now, with all this said for their part, the DOJ and FBI have dismissed the report as a political attack, saying the DOJ and FBI have a responsibility to investigate any potential violations of federal law and conspiracies to impede federal law enforcement and assaults on federal officers or against the law, saying violence is not protected by the First Amendment, politically motivated attacks will not deter us from doing our job. And that was also something that we saw echo through several official statements. Again, despite the fact that none of the demonstrations cited in field discomplaint seemingly involved any violence. Right, and then from that, there are three more stories we got to talk about today. But first, a quick break from a sponsor. My dogs have exactly two qualifications for food. Does it smell interesting? And can they inhale it before I fully put the bowl down? Or, which means nutritional standards are apparently my department? And that is why I'm happy to have Sundays for dogs sponsoring today's show. Sundays makes real dog food with human-grade ingredients like real meat, organs, and superfood. So, this created by a veteran Aryan who wanted dogs to get high quality nutrition without requiring their owners to suddenly become full-time canine meal prepers. And while I love my dogs, I'm not giving up half of my freezer and spending Sunday night portioning out tiny gourmet dinners. And Sundays is so easy because it's air-dried into these jerky-style pieces, so there's no refrigeration, no freezer, no prep. You literally just scoop it into the bowl and you're done. And more importantly, my dogs genuinely love it, which is great, because dogs are brutally honest restaurant critics. So, they get something that they're excited to eat, and I get food that I actually feel good about giving them every day. Right, and Sundays can support healthy digestion, shinier codes, fresher breath, and steady energy without synthetic preservatives or sketchy byproducts. Just high-quality ingredients without making feeding your dog unnecessarily complicated. So, hey, scan that QR code, or go to sundays4dogs.com/field30 to get 30% off your first order. Your dog is better food, you get zero meal prep, everybody wins. And then, for your final block of news today, let's talk about more news you need to know/ you might have missed. It's the first step we've got to talk about Christophe Pike. Right, 'cause now days after her being hospitalized from her botched execution, she's now conscious and speaking. And specifically, you had her doctor saying that she's been communicating in a basic way, also adding that she has some memory of being in the hospital, but he doesn't think she remembers the execution attempt at all. She's also reportedly dealing with some severe damage to her arms, but she's also been taken off the ventilator. And ultimately, if her doctor calling this whole thing medically unprecedented and adding that her prognosis is still unclear, but he does expect a long recovery. Right, as far as what went wrong with the execution, we still aren't fully sure. Or we know that medical experts were concerned about her small veins, as well as a blood disorder that she has that could make fluids leak into the surrounding tissue in her arm instead of the vein itself. But for now, that just ends up being the best lead that we have so far. And so then, with that, you would get in a village putting on hold executions in the state last week, hoping to get more answers there. Also, you had her lawyers in court today asking the Tennessee Department of Corrections be required to preserve any evidence related to what could have gone wrong. And there, you have some people saying that could be the first step in a future lawsuit. But then also, something that might not be where it ends with people putting pressure back on Governor Lee to commute her sentence. So there, I'll say, it doesn't seem like he's budgeting. Already, it already denied her clemency requests days before the execution was scheduled. And then, after it failed, you had him saying, "The people of Tennessee have determined that capital punishment is the appropriate sentence for the most heinous of crimes." And adding that they expect that those sentences will be carried out in a manner that is not only legal and constitutional, but effective. For now, we're going to have to wait to see how things move out because, yes, there's the court of public opinion, but also, we might see something happen legally. But for now, the ball is largely in Governor Lee's court. And then also, in the news, if the other accusations weren't bad enough, officials are now saying that Andrew Tate had bestiality on one of his devices. Right, and specifically, what they allegedly found were images of people having sex with live animals, including a horse and an eel. Right, and that is just the latest disturbing accusation that the UK is filing to get him and his brother Tristan extra-dited. Because they're also saying that they have Andrew on camera in bed with a 17-year-old girl wearing lingerie, kissing his neck, claiming that they saw messages that proved that he knew the girl was underage, even telling her about the legal problems that it could cause. You then also had reports saying that being his brother had been going online, starting fake relationships with women and convincing them to move to Romania and join their webcam business. Or with those, of course, being long-standing allegations. And apparently when women showed up, Andrew and Tristan would allegedly take their passports, make them completely financially dependent on them and eventually force them into doing porn. And so the accusations they just don't stop. Rape assault, human trafficking, prostitution, extreme pornography, it's a lot. Right, but their legal team, they're denying all of them. And as far as the bestiality videos, their attorney says that the officials are trying to tie Andrew to a device they allegedly found in what he called a flop house, claiming that there is no proof that he ever actually watched any of the videos on it. And so I'm claiming that the filing was as weak as it gets in that the government's Andrew Tate fetish, it's gotten so bad that somebody over there needs professional help. And then with this, he's also pushing back on having identities of the accusers and the other allegations redacted from official documents, claiming that it makes it harder for them to fight those cases. But for now, you have Andrew and Tristan still locked up in Miami and we're gonna have to wait to see if things get crazier from here. Up to date, everything is fine. Or at least the plague isn't gonna kill us, at least as of right now. Right, that is what you had rushes health regulators saying after the researcher at the Siberian plague research institute died, which of course, sent a lot of people around the world into a COVID level panic. Or because if you missed the coverage, Daria Shipelova died from pneumonia of a still unknown origin. And when it happened, Russian authorities quarantined around 200 people that she could have made contact with in the hospital. Also, multiple other facilities in the area, they started putting restrictive measures in place and the rumors about what led to it all, they spread pretty quickly. But we really didn't get a lot of official communication about what was going on. And so you were hardly had people like Marco Rubio putting pressure on Russia to offer more information. And with that, officials said that the researcher was vaccinated against the pneumonic plague and the other dangerous stuff that she worked with. So she would have at least had some level of protection as she came in contact with it. And well, obviously that doesn't mean she was completely immune. And apparently officials didn't find any traces of the microorganisms that she worked with in her body after she died, including the plague. And then I also feel like I should note here that even if they did, experts said they wouldn't have expected widespread contagion. And then also as far as people that she'd been in contact with, more than 90% have completed their time under medical observation. And there have been no issues to report there either. And so with that, you have them saying preventive and anti-epidemic measures have been organized to an exhaustive extent. And adding that there are no epidemiological risks in the area. And so right now, we still don't know what the exact source of the pneumonia that killed her was. And yes, you have a lot of people holding Russia's feet to the fire, pressing for more transparency. But with this update, it at least seems like we can wait for more details with a little less anxiety. And that, my friends, is actually the end of your Wednesday show. Thank you for watching, like, and subscribing. Being a part of these daily dives into the news, be a slightly more miserable dumpster dive without your beautiful face. And hey, while I be right back here tomorrow, I've got even more for you to watch right now, if you want. It's today's brand new crashing out, which we titled, what everyone's getting wrong about the Pope's war on AI. But no matter what you do, I love your face. Be safe out there, and I'll see you right back here tomorrow.
