비스트의 사과는 인터넷에서의 명성과 개인적 관계에 대한 책임의 복잡성을 드러냅니다.

Sup, you beautiful bastards. Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show. Your daily dive into the news, and we have a lot to talk about. So, hey, let's just jump into it. This is a new issue with requested internet drama update news. Let's talk about Mr. Beast. Request for a quick recap. Almost two weeks ago, YouTuber and former Mr. Beast employee Dog Pack 404 put out a video interviewing another former Mr. Beast employee by the name of Jake Weddle. In the video, Jake detailed his experience on the set of a Mr. Beast 100 Days in Solitary Confinement video attempt, talking about how it was, and in a word, saying it was traumatizing. Two of the big things that he noted being that they never shut the lights off and they made him run a marathon on a treadmill. And, you know, we dug deeper into that interview in a previous video.

So you can definitely check that out. Know, since that last update, one of the big things that people have been waiting for is Mr. Beast himself to respond. And there we almost sort of got an update, guys. Over the weekend, Jake released a video sharing the personal response that he got from Jimmy regarding his situation. He said, Hey, hey, I wanted to reach out and say I didn't mean to cause you mental stress with that video, and I apologize. Clearly, I had an effect on you. You mentioned you like to be paid out the rest of the prize money, the other $190,000. And I love to make things right with you. I have zero expectation of you mentioning me, sending you this money publicly, or taking down any videos. This is just me wanting to help you out and make sure you're good. For me, the personal apology, the person-to-person thing. Yeah. There was no lawyers around.

It wasn't a spectacle. There was no camera in my face. I respected that. That's how I would have wanted it to go down. But I, I couldn't I couldn't take it, I couldn't I couldn't take 100 and I couldn't take it because it's still a mechanism of the game. It's still like the rest of the prize money. And that's not what it was about. then does a quick reenactment of the phone conversation he had with Jimmy. And a lot of the meat is the same as the message. like saying Jimmy apologized and offered the other $190,000 Jake would have gotten from the challenge with no expectations of any sort of post about it, or that Jake takedown his videos. with Jake then saying is and comfortable taking the money, but does desperately need the money to pull himself out of debt. so with that he said he counter offered, asking only for a fraction of the $190,000.

and saying. Counteroffer 50. You save $140,000. Just give me 50. That's going to cover all my debts. Some medical bills that I have. I have taxes on the back burner from last year because I'm freelance, and that'll get me back to zero. And I get to keep saying whatever the hell I want. I get to keep being honest. I get to keep being authentic. And I'm not going to worry about you guys coming after me for being myself. which he says, Jimmy replied. Yeah, great bank info. Still the same. with that. He also later specified that he had not received the money as of recording his video, also at the end of his video. Jake talked a little bit about the next installment of Dog Pax expose series. So you still have people waiting for that, which is expected to be one of the biggest videos. you know, with this is we're waiting to see more allegations come out.

What the reaction to all that's going to be. I got to pass the question off to you. What are your thoughts here with the updates that we're seeing? So, as you can likely tell, I am not in my regular filming spot. And that is because I'm in Chicago for the Democratic National Convention. Something that just weeks ago, I was not going to do. I was going to do the RNC or the DNC and then, we got three weeks of insane political news. I figured, let's go out there, let's see what happens. I was able to get credentialed. I have access. We're going to be doing some interviews this week. I flew in on Sunday. Almost didn't make that flight because I had a motorbike accident the day prior. Which you might look at me and go, Phil, you don't seem like a guy that rides dirt bikes. And my response to that is, yeah. No, you're right.

But luckily, given how stupid my crash was, that the car wasn't too deep. And so I'm here to see what pops off. And so since we're going to be talking about a lot of this stuff this week, it feels like the right place to start is to talk about the Democrats actually releasing an official party platform because it just got released before the convention started. You know, technically, it still needs to be voted on at the DNC, but that'll just kind of be a rubber stamp procedure. This entire plan, it's 90 pages. So that also means I'm not going to get into every little detail here. The titles of the nine chapters that give you a good idea of what's on their mind. They're we're talking about the economy, tax cuts, fighting rising prices, energy, gun crime, voting and civil rights, the border, international leadership, and also a section about some of the particular projects.

that they want to finish that Biden started. And that is a quirk of the platform, right? It was finalized by a committee back in July, days before he dropped out of the race. So, of course, with that, they really wanted to hammer in his achievements and policies that he's taken a special interest in. Looking into the specifics a little bit more, you can see there's a big emphasis on prices for everyday Americans. Or the document is very critical of price gouging by industries like oil and pharma. Seems to feed perfectly into remarks Harris made this weekend about fighting price gouging on things like food. Also, in another angle of attack for this issue, the party wants a push for a $15 an hour minimum wage. Platform also really emphasizes home prices, with on one hand claiming that more people own homes today than did before the pandemic, and we're seeing fewer foreclosures than at any time in decades.

though there is a question about what data they're using, because foreclosures seem to have gone up 136% since 2021, according to the real estate firm Adam. Notably, that is still lower than pre-pandemic levels. But then, on the other hand, it also highlights that more needs to be done. The party saying it wants to cut red tape to help more homebuilders get federal financing, as well as proposing a $10,000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers. At the same time, you have Harris just announcing that she actually wants it to be over double that. It also wants to tackle housing for renters. One of the proposed ways being limiting how much a corporate landlord can raise rents year over year. So, the plan would make it so that they can either cap rent increases at 5% per year or lose a big incentive. They currently have. Also, another thing that'll probably resonate

with a lot of voters are the proposed tax cuts. With these men to target lower and middle-income households, which is the vast majority of the country. They are the chapter on this starts with a hedge fund manager or CEO should never pay a lower tax rate than a teacher or firefighter. Company with billions of dollars in profits should not pay $0 in taxes. It also goes on to say the trickle-down economics doesn't work and has never worked. So to that end, it highlights all the times that Democrats have tried to lower taxes only for Republicans to block them, such as when Republicans block the renewal of a pandemic-era child tax credit that saved about 40 million families, up to $3,600 per child per year, or how they want to defund the IRS free tax filing tool, which was successfully piloted this year. That's saving a lot of people a ton on fees, out annoying companies like TurboTax, which only exists

because I'm lobbying against the IRS, having its own system. Also, to offset the tax cuts for most Americans, the party wants larger tax burdens for the wealthiest Americans and corporations. Stuff like a minimum 25% tax rate on billionaires and an end on capital gains for millionaires. So they pay the same rate on investment income as on wages. There are a ton of other numbers to throw around here. But something that's been highlighted that really stood out was that corporations are seeing record margins, but their share of federal taxes has fallen below 10%, down from 30% in the 1950s. But also, none of that tax policy should be surprising since it's like Democratic policy 101. Paid leave also stood out, with the party wanting a program that would give Americans 12 weeks paid leave to deal with the birth of a child, to take care of an ill family member, or many other circumstances.

It also noted that America is the world's only advanced economy not to guarantee paid leave, saying that the vast majority of employers don't offer it. In nearly three quarters of private sector employees don't have paid family leave through their jobs. Then the last thing on businesses is the document goes really hard on blaming them for the huge increase in prices lately. Like obviously inflation played a role. But the party is emphasizing that while profit margins continued to rise for companies, they also took the opportunity to hike up the prices. Also, other big policy pushes include shifting energy jobs away from things like coal and oil and towards clean energy, which has been a mission of the party for over a decade now. Education also has a huge segment dedicated to it, including the emphasis on making sure young kids have access to preschool. That and allowing parents to work more. And so the party sees it as a win-win. Dems also really push at a post-secondary education as a major policy point.

And notably there, they're not saying that you need to go to college, especially with the rising costs, but even going to a trade school would be sufficient to propel most people well into the middle class, and they are at the same time, it wants to lower the loan burden on professions like teachers, which are already severely underpaid. Now with all that said and while understanding, I'm not hitting every single policy point because again, 90 pages, one thing that the entire agenda was silent on was an arms embargo regarding Israel. With a just in general saying that it supports Israel while at the same time pushing for a ceasefire. Is probably not what the pro-Palestinian protesters out here at the DNC are going to want to see right now. Which, on that note, is going to be one of the things to keep our eyes peeled for, with reports saying that it's expected that there will be tens of thousands of protesters across at least six major protests.

for now, we're gonna have to wait to see how today and just really, this whole week is going to play out. yo, for those of you looking to kickstart a business showcase, homemade crafts, start a personal blog, or maybe even sell merch.

So we've got to talk about Swifties for Trump. Which may sound insane when it hits your ears, but, I mean, it was trending all over the weekend. In a major part of the conversation of Taylor Swift, fans supporting Donald Trump for president stemmed from this viral TikTok, greater saying that a number of Swifties are now backing Donald Trump. After three of Taylor's shows were canceled in Vienna because of an alleged terror threat. And

a lot of them are just saying, you know, if Trump was in office, this would have never, ever happened. In that video has gotten hundreds of thousands of views on TikTok, but it also quickly made its way over to X, where it's been shared countless times by Trump supporters. Although this is many on the other side of claiming the whole thing doesn't make any sense, saying things like I sleep, knowing the Swifties for Trump motherfuckers aren't actually Swifties. And I've never once genuinely sat down and listened to Taylor Swift speak about her opinions on Trump. They are many pointing to when Taylor very openly spoke out against Trump back in 2020 and threw her support behind Biden and Kamala Harris. As this idea is spread online more and more, I generated and fake images have popped up depicting Swifties and even Taylor herself backing Trump's campaign. Trump himself even reposting several of them on Truth Social.

including this propaganda-style poster of Taylor dressed up as Uncle Sam. Among the pictures was the headline claiming that Swifties are turning to Trump after the Vienna shows got canceled. It is worth noting here that the original post clearly labeled that headline a satire, a label that is also clearly visible in the screenshot Trump shared. That also didn't stop him from saying, quote, I accept on his post. Notably, not everything is fake, right? Among the AI-generated images is one real picture, for example, of 19-year-old Jenna wearing a homemade Swifties for Trump t-shirt, reportedly confirming that the image is genuine and it was taken at a Wisconsin Trump rally back in June. We've also seen the unofficial Swifties for Trump page on X with a little under 4,000 followers. There's also a Swifties for Kamala page that was made back in July with over 60,000 followers.

reportedly, Kamala's campaign has even been in contact with that group's founders to ask how they can support the initiative. All that said, as far as Taylor herself, she has not openly endorsed either candidate for the 2024 election. If anything, considering her previous support for Biden and Harris and opinions about Trump, it seems unlikely that she'd move to the MAGA camp. Then this is, you know, people saying it's weird that Donald Trump is reposting AI-generated images of people supporting him. One in general, but two, especially considering the accusations he hurled at the Kamala Harris campaign last week, saying that she used AI to fill out crowd shots, which is just not true. For now, we'll have to wait to see if Taylor Swift or her team, they respond in any way, with a statement or actual endorsement or, I mean, a lawsuit. In the meantime, it's all in the court of public opinion.

So I got to pass the question off to you. What are your thoughts here? So, did you know that you could get hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars by writing out your boss? All you need is actionable intel that they're evading their taxes, and boom! You can actually get a cut of what they owe the IRS. That, all thanks to the agency's whistleblower office. Notably, they only accept liabilities of $2 million or more. Maybe this asshole you work for underreports their income. Maybe they claim false deductions, credits, or exemptions. Or maybe they just don't file their return. Either way, you tip off the IRS. They review the claim, and if it's worth pursuing, they throw it to their auditors. Then when it's all said and done, you get anywhere from 15 to 30% of the whole, which again, if you're talking about many millions

or tens of millions of unpaid taxes, that could be a big payday. In fact, since its creation in 2006, the program has raked in $7 billion in total, with $1.2 billion of that going to the whistleblowers. When you look at the data, you see that 2018 was actually the best year for the program by far, the IRS collecting nearly $1.5 billion, and over $300 million of which went to whistleblowers. Then those numbers fell off a cliff the following year, and they've slowly declined ever since. So there's this question of why is that? Why is the program struggling? Well, as it turns out, the answer is actually several answers, starting with problems inside the IRS itself. The agency's budget and staff have shrunk over the past decade and a half, so it's got fewer resources to deal with a growing workload. So, for example, if you're a whistleblower,

you currently have to mail your claim to an office in Utah. This is why the program's head, John Hinman, has told The Washington Post that there will be an online portal next year and that he wants to purchase software to keep track of the claims. Him even keeping a list of 78 total ideas he would like to implement, he actually might be able to do it thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act beefing up his office and budget. Right through that extra manpower. It'll be easier to sift through that mountain of dead-end or extremely dense claims, it be people trying to get back at their exes or corporate insiders who insist on strict secrecy in their complicated briefs. But no matter how much money you throw at the IRS, there are just some issues with the process that some argue make it unsalvageable. Right? First off, just completing the initial audit and sending the taxpayer a bill could take years.

And even then, the taxpayer can challenge the finding in court, which could take several more years, during which time the taxpayer's lawyers have time and money on their side, and they can run circles around the underfunded and understaffed agency lawyers. And then, even if the IRS wins, collecting that debt can actually take another decade. And even then, there's a two-year waiting period to ensure that the taxpayer doesn't try to claim the money back in a refund. So, on average, it actually takes more than 11 years for the whistleblower to get paid, though it can reach up to two decades. And ironically, after all that, a chunk of the reward gets taken out in taxes. So, even though the payouts can be huge, it's argued the process just takes too long for it to actually be worth the whistleblower and their attorney's time, one person even telling the post, The waiting and the lack of communication and the uncertainty really weigh on is why agency officials

and lawmakers are debating how to streamline the process. But even if we fix this, it's only one small device for collecting unpaid taxes. Right. The so-called tax gap, which is the difference between taxes owed and taxes paid on time. It reached $688 billion in 2021, and the agency was only able to narrow that gap by $63 billion through enforcement efforts and retrieval of late payments. Right. So in short, there is a lot of work to but even regular people can play a part in being whistleblowers. then, you know, while it feels like there's a lot more happening in politics in just the DNC, this week. is another big thing is that the Republican-led oversight judiciary in Ways and Means Committee in the House have released a nearly 300-page report accusing Joe Biden of, quote, impeachable conduct. fact, you have James Comer, the chairman of the oversight committee, arguing that this is the strongest case for impeachment of a sitting president.

the House of Representatives has ever investigated. With that, the report is claiming that the totality of the corrupt conduct uncovered is egregious. It sums up Biden's alleged offenses by saying he conspired to commit influence peddling and grift. I quote, In doing so, he abused his office. And by repeatedly lying about his abuse of office to defraud the United States, to enrich his family. In reality, while Republicans are trying to pass the whole thing off as a home run, it's not clear to anyone else that they're even getting the walk to first. I mean, despite all this purported evidence, they actually stopped short of alleging any criminal wrongdoing by the president. They didn't actually make any formal recommendation for the House to move forward with impeachment. Also, and this is the big one, they're playing fast and loose with the word evidence. In fact, according to the New York Times, the whole case relies entirely on circumstantial evidence and inference to make a case against the president.

to make it clear why they're saying that we gotta look a little more closely at the accusations being made. One, they say as vice president, Joe knowingly used his influence to make money for himself and his family, with this largely being tied to his son Hunter's business dealings. Two, they're claiming as president. He and his administration obstructed the House's impeachment inquiry and the criminal investigation of Hunter. To start with the second one, I should say that Republicans actually admit they have no direct evidence that Joe ordered any interference into the DOJ investigation into Hunter Biden. The investigation into Hunter was launched under Trump and led by a Trump-appointed attorney. Then the Biden team kept that guy on the case precisely to counteract accusations of political interference. So with that, A.G. Merrick Garland has insisted that no one at the White House directed him or anyone else on how to handle the Hunter Biden investigation. Notably, of course, that investigation has also resulted in a conviction,

with another trial coming soon related to the charges of tax evasion. Then that brings us to the first accusation about selling influence and getting rich. Because Hunter, along with Joe, his brother James, are at the center of this whole thing, a report claiming their entire business centered around hinting at, alluding to, or outright promising what Joe Biden's power could do for certain foreign interests. With that, they allegedly received tens of millions of dollars by leading people to believe that such payments would provide them access to and influence with the vice president. Hunter, for example, reportedly received two diamonds from Chinese companies and a $142,000 sports car from a Kazakh businessman. Then another Chinese company reportedly gave James's wife a credit card to use for personal expenses. They're you people saying whether we like it or not. It is not against the law for the families of powerful people to profit from who they're related to.

a number of people there. Then pointing to Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who received hundreds of millions of dollars from Persian Gulf nations. In fact, House Democrats have tracked at least $7.8 million from 20 foreign governments that Trump's own businesses received during his presidency. So one Hunter and James may have taken advantage of that, the key question is whether Joe Biden knew about it and was involved. That is actually where the case really sort of falls apart. One key witness was Hunter's former business partner, Devin Archer. Him being mentioned in the report 165 times, he told lawmakers that Hunter Biden put his father on speakerphone to talk while in meetings with his business partners. Even saying that Joe Biden stopped by dinners with him sometimes. Notably, he did say that these tactics sent a signal that Hunter Biden had access to his father. But Archer also said that Joe was never involved in conversations about business, and

and a part of his testimony that was omitted from the report. He said he had no knowledge of any wrongdoing by Biden. On the other hand, one former Biden family business associate did actually testify that, quote, Joe Biden was more than a participant in and a beneficiary of his family's business. He was an enabler, despite being buffered by a complex scheme to maintain plausible deniability. With that, you have people saying that is one guy. That is not hard evidence. Notably, it is also the opposite of what a whole list of other associates have said that Joe Biden, as a private citizen and as vice president, was never involved in any of his family's foreign business dealings. So with all that, you have a White House spokesperson releasing a statement saying, after wasting nearly two years and millions of taxpayer dollars, House Republicans have finally given up on their wild goose chase. Failed stunt will only be remembered for how it became an embarrassment that their own members

distanced themselves from, as they only managed to turn up evidence that refuted their false and baseless conspiracy theories. Notably there. Some Republicans are not done yet. With Biden no longer running for office, we've already seen how they're trying to turn this on Kamala. One example being the report now making more than 20 mentions of the Biden-Harris administration. In previous releases from the committees, it typically only made direct reference to Joe. Then this is you have folks like Matt Gates tweeting. Have much more work to do to assess how much Kamala Harris and other senior officials knew, when they knew it, and what role they took in covering up for the empty suit in the Oval Office. The likes of MTG, trying the same thing, writing Kamala Harris is virtually an accomplice at this point. As you know, we're gonna have to wait to see how all this develops. Know, will this finally be the end of the accusations against Biden?

and with Harris getting the official nomination this week. What happens next? That, my friends, is where your Monday evening. Tuesday morning dive into the news going to end. Let you know. I can already tell tomorrow is going to be a big show. We'll also have Governor Josh Shapiro on with us. With that said, I love yo faces. And I'll see you right back here tomorrow.

미스터 비스트 드라마 업데이트

미스터 비스트의 전 직원 제이크 웨들은 촬영장에서의 충격적인 경험을 공유하여 미스터 비스트로부터 개인적인 사과와 함께 19만 달러를 제안받았습니다.

제이크는 자신의 진정성을 유지하면서 빚을 갚기 위해 5만 달러로 맞대응했습니다.

영상 촬영 당시 제이크는 아직 돈을 받지 못했고, 다음 폭로 시리즈에서 그 사실을 공개하겠다고 예고했습니다.

민주당 전당대회 및 정당 플랫폼 업데이트

민주당 전당대회 참석차 시카고를 방문 중인 트럼프 대통령은 최근 정치 상황으로 인해 일정을 변경했습니다.

민주당은 경제, 감세, 물가 상승, 에너지, 총기 범죄, 투표권, 주택과 같은 주요 이슈에 초점을 맞춘 90페이지 분량의 공식 플랫폼을 발표했습니다.

이 플랫폼은 최저임금 15달러, 첫 주택 구매자에 대한 1만 달러 세금 공제, 기업 임대인에 대한 임대료 인상 제한 등 일상적인 미국인들의 어려움을 강조하고 있습니다.

제안된 감세안은 부유한 개인과 기업이 공정한 몫을 지불하도록 하는 데 중점을 두고 저소득층과 중간 소득 가구를 대상으로 합니다.

이 계획에는 억만장자에 대한 최소 25%의 세율과 백만장자에 대한 투자 소득 및 임금에 대한 세율 균등화 등이 포함되어 있습니다.

또한 유급 가족 휴가, 유치원 이용, 교사와 같은 저임금 직업에 대한 대출 부담 경감의 필요성을 강조하는 한편, 청정 에너지 일자리로의 전환과 고등 교육 비용 상승에 대한 문제도 해결해야 한다는 의제를 담고 있습니다.

트럼프의 스위프티: 바이럴 트렌드

테일러 스위프트의 팬들이 비엔나 공연이 취소된 후 입소문을 타고 퍼진 틱톡 동영상을 계기로 뜻밖에도 도널드 트럼프를 대통령 후보로 지지하고 있습니다.

이 트렌드는 소셜 미디어에서 주목을 받았고, 트럼프 지지자들은 이 동영상과 인공지능으로 생성된 스위프티가 트럼프의 캠페인을 지지하는 이미지를 공유했습니다.

풍자와 테일러가 이전에 트럼프에 반대했음에도 불구하고, 이 운동은 트럼프 집회에서 스위티즈 포 트럼프 셔츠를 입은 팬의 진짜 사진이 공개되는 등 실제 지지를 이끌어냈습니다.

카말라 해리스, 테일러 스위프트, 그리고 IRS 내부 고발자 프로그램

카말라 해리스 캠페인은 지지 그룹의 창립자들에게 연락을 취했지만 테일러 스위프트는 2024년 후보를 지지하지 않았습니다.

도널드 트럼프의 인공지능 생성 이미지 사용은 특히 해리스 캠페인에 대한 비난 이후 비판을 불러일으켰습니다.

국세청 내부 고발자 프로그램은 실행 가능한 정보에 대해 미납 세금의 15~30%를 지급하지만, 국세청의 예산과 인력 축소로 인해 그 실효성이 떨어지고 있습니다.

내부고발자 보상금과 정치적 고발의 어려움

내부고발자가 탈세 신고에 대한 보상금을 받는 절차는 11년 이상 걸릴 수 있으며, 경우에 따라 20년까지 걸리는 경우도 있으며 보상금의 일부는 과세됩니다.

국세청은 집행 노력에도 불구하고 2021년에 6,880억 달러에 달하는 세금 격차를 좁히기 위해 고군분투하고 있습니다.

한편 공화당이 주도하는 하원 위원회는 바이든 대통령의 탄핵 가능한 행위를 고발하는 보고서를 발표했지만 명확한 증거와 탄핵에 대한 공식적인 권고가 부족합니다.

조 바이든에 대한 비난: 자세히 살펴보기

조 바이든에 대한 혐의는 아들 헌터의 사업 거래를 통해 개인적인 이익을 위해 자신의 영향력을 이용하고 헌터에 대한 수사를 방해했다는 것입니다.

공화당은 조 바이든이 트럼프 정부에서 시작된 법무부 수사에 개입했다는 직접적인 증거가 없다고 인정합니다.

조 바이든이 가족의 사업 거래에 대해 알고 관여했는지 여부가 핵심 의문으로 남아 있지만, 헌터의 전 사업 파트너인 핵심 증인은 조가 사업 대화에 관여한 적이 없다고 진술했습니다.

전 바이든 가족 사업 동료는 조 바이든이 가족 사업의 조력자라고 증언했으며, 그가 관여하지 않았다고 주장하는 다른 동료들과 모순되는 주장을 했습니다.

백악관 대변인은 하원 공화당 의원들의 조사에 대해 시간과 돈 낭비라고 비판했습니다.

일부 공화당원들은 이제 카말라 해리스에게 초점을 맞추고 바이든 가족의 사업 거래에 대한 그녀의 개입에 대해 의문을 제기하고 있습니다.
