If you believe "do you want to be cursed by God?" Is a legitimate question to ask someone in a senate hearing, you don't deserve to hold public office.
These people need to be laughed out of the room
Only if her answer was no
In a normal country that'd be unimaginable.
Right? Christianity had nothing to do with the situation either. It was completely innapropriate.
Honestly, all of those hearings, even the ones that caused some of these admins to step down, are absolutely bonkers. I agree that it's basically modern McCarthyism.
I would not have been able to resist asking him if he is serious. Stuff like that needs as much attention drawn to it as possible.
The separation of church and state is just a joke at this point.
Yes it is
I am deeply proud to be one of Jahana Hayes constituents today because her response to the Genesis pop quiz was completely correct. It was totally inappropriate.
It were we really need to build a wall.
That's why I ignore both of them. I'll do what I want, when I want.
The metaphor of a “wall of separation” was not intended to say that religion should not influence opinion on government issues. Rather, it was used to affirm free religious practice for citizens.
I like that in this channel we don't need to put it at 1.5x speed, DeFranco talks in 1.5x already
Yeah he's one of the few people I don't have to listen to sped up!
English isnt my wifes first language. Im not allowed to listen without headphones as she cant catch a word he says 🤣.
Nah, 2x for everything, even here haha
Are people's attention span really that damaged that people increase the playback speed? I get multitasking while listening to something, but to then speed it up?
I still watch in 2x 😮
One crazy thing about the banning of tourists from the geisha district is that people were physically harassing geishas (pulling their kimonos, following them around while taking pictures, touching their extremely expensive hair, getting in their way while the geishas were just trying to go to their destination/literal job). Tourists were treating these women as dolls that they were entitled to touch. Even crazier is that maikos (geishas in training) usually start pretty young (12 - 14 years old), so these tourists are harassing literal children. I feel so bad about how terrified some maikos might be about grown ass people chasing after them in the streets, yelling at them for a picture, or physically assaulting them to feel their kimono/hair.
Also, people are legit just destroying environments that everyone has a right to enjoy. There are so many people shaking sakura trees for the gram or just breaking off branches to take. I feel so disgusted by people who think they are so entitled to nature like that. They should just stay put and leave the general population alone.
Oh my god what is wrong with people???? How does an adult look at a geisha and think “oo i should touch that!” Like hello????? 😳 Would they do that to a ballerina? I doubt it .
“Do you want Columbia University to be cursed by God?” That was a real question.
Yes, he's from the same state as MTG, so is it really that surprising?
If God's real I can tell God's been busy. Flood, bears, "our sister ___", "Get behind me, Satan", and other things in a book that the church I used to go to told me to take literally. That's a lot in one book and the questionable nature of the source material.
As someone who was raised Christian, I literally laughed when I heard that and then immediately after went “oh fuck…. This is what it’s coming to “ 🙄🤡
@@myownheroisonlyme5721Don’t forget the talking snake and talking donkey.
"Frankly, sir, I don't want our University to be cursed by any god. I don't care from which religious background they're from. I have enough things on my plate already."
The reporter saying, "I'm devastated to realize I'm part of the problem," and going on to say there is a distinction between that type of interaction with men versus women I think proved he got the point. That apology seemed pretty good to me. There will never be 100% perfect apologies, but if the person realizes the issue, admits the problem, and vows to do better, I don't know what else you can ask for. We can't keep bashing every person's apology without giving them the opportunity to grow from that moment. I hope that reporter doesn't take the further bashing to heart and just tries to focus on the productive side of the convo and do better work when it comes to female athletes.
The real issue is him issuing an apology. Really was not needed at all. If the player, HERSELF, said she was offended, then I understand. A discussion can be had. But, lile he said, hes an awkward goof and sometimes things come out... awkward.
Need to stop bending backwards for the cancel culture mobs.
Agreed. I was confused about how, at the end, he made it seem like he didn't get the point of what he did wrong with the last picture. I feel he realized how he fucked up and admitted to his mistake.
this exactly. if we don't leave room for people who are trying to learn to make the change they need, we're only making the world a worse place. i'd also say that even a "bad" apology shouldn't immediately be dismissed as the person being a monster. as a trans person, i've experienced plenty of times firsthand that some people can give an absolutely terrible apology but mean well, listen to further education, and do better in the future. without growth, we're nothing.
Well said. Honestly, this is the sort of apology one could only hope to receive.
He accepted the criticism, explained how the problem happened, called specific attention to what his misstep was, and offered a sincere apology. That tells me that most likely, he learned and will put effort into correcting himself so that it doesn't happen again.
It would be nice if more people thought like this❤
Nobody is trying to fix the root problems we have in this country. Everyone is stuck focusing on making enough money so that the problems don't apply to them anymore.
Absolutely, money is more important than anything. We worship money. The scam is that we're all in the same boat, from the unsheltered to the millionaires. The only distinction is for the 1% and the 0.01% that can afford international life and mega bunkers.
Individualist nation.
Tourism is a double edged sword. I live in a small Appalachian town that used to have a lot of tourism about 30 years ago, now those tourists are retiring here and this town wasn’t prepared for such a large increase in the elderly and aging population. The hospital and retirement homes are overflowing while multimillion dollar cabins sit empty because no local could afford it.
You know, when something is not affordable, it should go down in price... That's what the law of the almighty "Demand, Supply" of the CAPITALISM doctrine... but for some reason... the prices aren't going down till it becomes affordable :
@@ForestRaptor That's because Capitalism doesn't actually care about poor or middle class people. They're just tools to enrich the already rich.
@@ForestRaptor It should be a rule that for every [amount of time] a property remains vacant the price should go down by a certain amount until it's sold. If it goes long enough and no one shows interest it should be repurposed to something beneficial for the local community. And while we're at it we should ban people from owning more than one home to avoid rich people buying cheap properties and becoming even richer.
@@naemiansovald7649 Better idea - add additional taxes that tax any property on sale based on the price it's listed at! With some systems in place to avoid simply not listing a price, or the like.
@@naemiansovald7649This is not a real problem. If a cabin never sells, it never sells and it doesn’t affect anyone, but the bank.
"Do you want Columbia to be cursed by God?" is that a real thing that is said in congress?? I feel like I'm seeing a scene in a dystopia film @.@
We literally had people speaking tongues as they kneeled on the floor.... What in the world?

The story about the lost little girl going up to Mariska (thinking she was a real cop), was adorable and is the kind of story we need more of in the news.
I was so happy it turned out to be something so wholesome
Came to say this. She seems like a genuinely sweet and kind woman. I even feel comfortable in saying that a lot of actors and actresses wouldn't have gone so far as to halt their production to help out the kid, but would've passed the kid onto a PA or some other person on set, so that the filming could continue uninterrupted.
But instead of doing the all to easy rich, famous, and entitled move of handing the problem over to someone else, she helped out the kid and even went out her way to support and cheer the two of them up again after the event.
Mariska is Olivia Benson, and Olivia is Mariska. This just proved it. Warms my heart ❤️.
Agreed
Imagine, losing your kid in the park and OLIVIA FUCKING BENSON brings her back to you.
Been here in Japan since right before Covid and there was a lot of talk by local Japanese about how much quieter and nicer the tourist hubs have been since tourism halted. This was despite the fact that cities absolutely dependent on tourism, like Kyoto where that geisha district is, was under threat of going bankrupt. The government wanted tourism back - the locals didn't. The geisha district being closed to tourists isn't shocking when you find out that people are just walking into homes along the street, and taking pictures of geishas in a country where privacy laws extend protections to people minding their own business on the streets -- among a slew of other issues
@quelreve Don't forget the littering, rude behaviour and the touching of geishas
A Japanese CZcamsr by the Name SoraTheTroll clarified that it wasn't the entire district that has been closed to tourists. Apparently, it is just one street in that district that has been closed off. A street where Meiko's live, as well as Geisha's. Meiko's are Geisha in training and are all minors. This ban doesn't just ban tourists, though, it bans everyone who doesn't live there. Except for public services, of course such as cleaners.
The video where he shows which section is blocked: czcams.com/video/rM_DV_4XHYY/video.html Might need to go a bit earlier or a bit later in the stream where he even shows the entire district compared to what is banned.
So you can still visit the place and see them walk around, it's just that one street where they actually live that has banned people. Though taking pictures is still technically illegal in that district as it is private property.
I've heard horror stories about tourists before, but somehow I'm still shocked by the lack of respect. What on earth possesses someone to treat another human being like their personal entertainment?
I want to visit Japan so badly but I know that other tourists from the USA have destroyed our reputation.
I wish our people were more respectful like the Japanese.
People in Kyoto have always had to deal with the tourists, especially in places like Gion. So I get why they're annoyed and don't want them there anymore. I saw a geisha once (2006? 2007?). She was walking to her appointment, and tourists were walking all around her, taking photos from every possible angle. I understand wanting to take photos, but dude, she's going to work. Leave her be...
My dad is a forester. He has said YEARS before many of the big fires the last 5 years. That much of the government have halted common sense forest management like, controlled burns, taking out dead trees and even cleaning some tress out that are alive but are at risk of starting fires.
People don't listen to forestry pros like they need to because they think it's so simple! Plant trees and leave it alone! They need to be educated.
LOL "controlled burns" get out of control far too often.
@@Blodhelm they actually do not.
As a licensed therapist, when somebody very publicly apologizes more than once and clearly recognizes they are “part of the problem”, I see that as genuine recognition and remorse of how their actions hurt others. A speaker’s intention and a listener’s perception are two completely separate things, and we ALL have at least one experience in our lives where our good intention is misinterpreted as malice. We also need to keep in mind that people can struggle with an array of things like Social Anxiety, Autism, or any neurodivergent diagnosis for that matter, which can make social understanding and interaction challenging. Additionally as a neurodivergent female myself, I don’t think Gregg Doyel deserves the scrutiny he has faced following his two public apologies and explanations. We all need to spend more time listening to others instead of simply assuming that our interpretation is the only correct one.
Thank you! Neurodivergent with a lifelong diagnosis of Tourette's syndrome since elementary school
Yet we see people apologize multiple times for things and recognize they are part of the problem all the time and turn around and repeat bad behavior. I don’t really think this situation is that big of a deal but just because someone apologizes multiple times even publicly does not mean they actually feel that way. Especially those who’s job relies on public opinion I’m sorry, but you being a licensed therapist has nothing to do with public relations and what someone will say to cover their ass I do not necessarily think that he did some thing so horrific and that he isn’t sincere, but just because someone apologizes publicly doesn’t make the apology sincere, and some of the language used we often see in people trying to shift blame or excuse their behavior for example "well, I’ve done this with so-and-so so many times therefore I didn’t know it was wrong" or "oh well in my generation" it all sounds like an excuse and not a sincere apology. Again, I don’t really think this guy intended anything and just seems kind of awkward and out of touch whether he is neurodivergent or not but the situation doesn’t have any bearing on what an actual bad person would say to cover their ass when they have a job that requires the public to like them.
@@hallieharvey4073 Okay, and the issue here is that people are not allowing him to prove them wrong. If he does this again, then your argument holds weight. However, it isn't really fair to use a general trend of behaviors other people display as proof for an assumption about a specific person. Nobody has to believe his apologies, but his actions from here will show if they were genuine or not.
It’s irrelevant if he’s ND in this case. It’d be one thing if he made a heart at her or otherwise expressed how he liked the gesture. But he went way beyond that and acted entitled and he was also doing this in a professional capacity. She specifically stated how she does the heart gesture at a limited number of people (her family) to which he immediately followed up with how he’d like if she did it to him. She just clarified the boundary….hello? And, furthermore, this placed the focus on him instead of her and the sport. He can get slack when he demonstrates he’s changed his behavior.
@@hallieharvey4073 what's your point? Yes, bad people sometimes pretend to do and say the right things without sincerity.
We need to use wise judgement, discernment, to recognize those with integrity. "Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater" as they say.
That House Hearing was really uncomfortable and troubling; it was like modern-day McCarthyism. Also, who let that one congressman inject rhetoric from the Bible???
Here to note that the Congresswoman who spoke out about it being inappropriate was a history teacher.
@@mandalevelsupSo?

"Do you want Columbia University to be cursed by god?"
The fuck? How can you possibly take anything out of his mouth seriously after that?
As someone who grew up around Evangelicalism, I am genuinely tired of Christians equating the Biblical Israel with the modern-day nation of Israel. They're completely different concepts. I am convinced this false equivalency between the two is more than half the reason for the blind support of the country of Israel that you see in the church. I'm not here to argue as to which side is correct in this war, but I do want to point out that this messy theology is a problem for Christians when confronting the very unbiblical things the modern nation of Israel does, and it definitely needs to stay out of Congress.
Speaking of blind support, you should see the blind support of the actual terrorists that initiate attacks and their supporters who hypocritically and routinely chant “From the River to the Sea” and "Death to Israel".
I find it funny that people in government want to use parts of the Bible but never the whole thing
I guarantee it's more than Half.
I agree but at the same time,.. I mean,... 'Mass [person deletion] because big sky daddy told you to' is actually pretty biblical.
When people do this it's such a display that they're either being willfully ignorant for political gain or are actually stupid 💀 It's like, if I randomly founded a city called Eden, are we going to start treating it like the holy site from the bible??
The bible quote from Rick Allen has to be the most slack-jawed smooth-brained mouth-breathing troglodytic question a congressperson could ask at that moment. Impressive. Props to him honestly. Didn’t think the bar could get lower.

17:23 I’m a New Orleans native, born and raised. And having tourist come through and act like there are no laws on is maddening. More times than not, our crime rates skyrocket during tourist season and the bad actors just get to go home with a crazy story while our city gets the bad reputation.
Same thing in my smaller Florida beach town. Traffic noticeably goes from manageable to un drivable, and not to mention drivers becoming deadly incompetent

Living in japan, the sentiment “ People treating your country like a theme park” really resonates with me. The most agregious definitely being the Mario cart douchebags zipping around Shibuya. Speaking of Shibuya, the utter sense of entitlement tourist have about the area is disgusting, and that was really on display this year when the mayor “ canceled” Halloween in the Shibuya crossing area. So many people that don’t live there bitching about how “ japan lost its sense of fun” when the people who live and work there just don’t want all the hassle, including property damage.
“japan lost its sense of fun” it's a country mofos, not a place to entertain western tourists.
I'd love to meet so many different parts of the world some day but seeing how bad tourism has gotten in the last 20 years or so makes me want to not be part of the problem. I'm glad cities and countries are placing new tourism caps, it will be the best for everyone in the long run.
That’s pretty much everywhere though. Tourists are a shitty nuisance everywhere.
@@Gr95dc You should see eastern tourists in the west. They’re no better.

For the Gregg Doyel story, let's not forget the Hanlon's razor adage: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."
Though even if not intended, stupidity like this can cause harm. Just because the intention might not be there doesn't change the result.
@@candledapple And we should NEVER accept his apology nor let him continue in his job!!!
Just because you’re stupid, doesn’t mean you can’t cause harm. We need to stop letting stupid people off of the hook for the weird gross stuff. They say asking anybody to show you a symbol of affection that they show towards their family is weird if you’re stupid enough to say something weird you deserve to be called out on being stupid and weird.

@@Bea-a-deer HE ALREADY APOLOGIZED!!! NO APOLOGIES ALLOWED!!! HE MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE!!!!
One more thing about the Georgian foreign agent law is that since they revoked it last year under the pressure of protests and western partners they have stated on MULTIPLE occasion, in fact the very lawmaker that got punched now for bringing it back has said this multiple times, that they were revoking it unconditionally and would not bring it forward again. Fast forward one year and they have done the exact opposite.
Also the opposition politician that did the punching at 18:05 faced retaliation from police on Wednesday's protest. And by retaliation I mean exactly that, the police swarmed him, a member of parliament, threw him to the ground and kicked him with their feet (he's got a broken rib + other injuries) IN FRONT of cameras. That goes to show how careful the police will be with 'normal' protesters.
I'm born and raised in Lahaina. I can tell you right now that the pictures of the aftermath don't do it justice. Its one thing seeing pictures of it its another seeing it in person. It really did look like a War zone. What the Media failed to mentioned was that, Although Lahaina got hit the hardest, At one point that our entire island was on fire not just Lahaina. This wasn't the only fire also there was another one about 6 years ago that only burned around the town, but was bad enough to disable our power and water for 3 days. The reason why the agency chief didn't turn on the sirens was because I shit you not "The Sirens are for Tsunamis everybody would have run to the ocean". The Emergency workers were just in the dark as us as radio and cell communication went down since the towers went up in smoke. I think it came down to the lack of urgency and leadership from county officials that made things worse. As far as why it was hard to evacuate everybody there is essentially only one road in and out of Lahaina. I think the worse part of it is the EPA donated 150 million for the county of Maui to ship the debris out of state. The county turned around and said no but we will take the money and bury the debris somewhere on the island which really doesn't solve anything and make things worse for our kids down the line. One of my uncles said something to me a few months back he's 68 years old. He said he may not be alive before he can set foot on Front St again. That hit me pretty hard
"Wasn't a real cop"

Full stop. What happened to separation of church and state? Im all for freedom of religion but i need my representatives to be fully rooted in politics and civil engineering. Dont bring your religion where it doesn't belong. What matters in this issue is whether mean people can say mean things to other people under supervision of these administrators.the answer is no. Make policy and move on. This is why America is failing: our policy makers are busy worrying what their god would want them to do instead of their constituents.
A Congress full of civil engineers would be interesting.
Yes I would love to see a group of intellectually competent people in office and absolutely 0 public facing religion. I hate seeing religion anywhere near places that make decisions or educate others.
Intellectual people disagree just as much imo. I’ve watched lengthy debates between notable “experts of their fields” which is full of disagreements. the problem is the United States seems to be headed to a world similar to “idiocracy” where intelligence is lost to the masses because of poor attention spans and/or intellect. Instead those who pander get elected
Talk about saying the quiet parts out loud. It's been obvious for a while that America has been marching toward a theocracy but he really did just come out and say it.

I live in the Caribbean so we obviously rely heavily on tourism but we are not doing it sustainably. Overdevelopment is rampant here, with new 10 story hotels being thrown up all along the beach and many are worried about erosion, which has already happened at some places. Locals are losing public beach access as these hotels and condos try to block us from going. I know a lot of businesses suffered when our boarders were closed during the pandemic, but it was great. No cruise ships for 2 years gave our harbor a nice chance to breath and recoup from all the damage their anchors do. Wish they would ban those again.

For context I have autism, and I can totally see how someone can make the "mistake" that the reporter made. Not saying he is autistic or anything, just saying that I've seen accidental awkward phrasing which is much worse from myself and others. And those were definitely accidental. As this is his job I expect him to learn, but I have no reason to doubt his reasoning. Being villanized for being awkward, something you cannot always control, shouldn't be considered. It has been brought up, he acknowledges his mistake, as far as I'm concerned this is complete and done. I don't see why this conversation is still going on.
I'm not autistic and even I word things in a way that confuse people on a regular basis. I'm just a nerd with a high IQ. Most "normal" people today have the IQ of mustard. They think with their emotions rather than their brain. Logic is a dwindling resource.
Edit: Btw, I doubt you have autism. Autistic people can't create coherent strings of thought as you did. They'd respond to this topic with something like "I like chocolate milk". If you are autistic, then so is at least 90% of the human population. And if everyone is autistic, then no one is.
Exactly. I think it's so wild to me that we're genuinely using terms like "misogyny", "pervert", "sexist", all over an awkward social interaction that has nothing to do with gender. The fact that Dave fucking Portnoy, a man with MULTIPLE sexual harassment scandals, is calling him a "sexist pervert" is insane to me. Not only that, all the comments ON THIS VIDEO acting like what he did was apparently so over the line. We need to let people just be awkward and weird. Caitlyn didn't even make a big deal out of it from what I've seen either.
On the story about Columbia University, Not only was it inappropriate to bring the Bible into the courtroom, but thinking about how the Bible is interpreted about Israel back then being the same as Israel today is a very big and what leads Christians to justify whatever actions are necessary to “ defend Israel”. And I say not only as a Christian, but as a pastor.
So you hate the Jewish state as it exists today is what you're saying. My people never left, never resettled, all those thousands of years we have been there and neither fiery nor cold "rhetoric" will ever change that.

Honestly the fact that he took in the criticism and apologized for what he said is far better than what we normally would get in a situation like this in the past. At least he’s not doubling down and acting like his creepy, misogynistic comments were “misconstrued” because of “cancel culture”. Did he say something stupid that needed to be chastised? Yes. But I also think that when someone is publicly embarrassed by their bad behavior and they apologize/learn from what they did we need to start normalizing the habit of learning from your mistakes and owning up to them. Everyone makes mistakes and if that person is appropriately contrite and earnest in their apology we (the collective ‘we’) should accept it and move forward.
Okay, sorry, what EXACTLY about what hew said was "creepy" and "misogynistic"? He did a little heart replicating what she does with her family, and it was a bit weird. What else was there for you to go out of your way to insult him personally like that, you fuckin weirdo.
I agree with your sentiment and thoughts.
From my perspective, it seemed like he really was being just awkward and probably misworded his intentions. I'm more curious if the athlete, Caitlyn Clark, accepted his apology. I hope she didn't feel uncomfortable, and I'm glad the guy took accountability for his actions and apologized to her.
Wtf do you think he did. you call him "creepy" and "misogynistic", which is genuinely disgusting for the fact that you don't even seem to understand what he did. You think he deserves to be CHASTISED for being awkward. tf is wrong with you??
For the first part in the video: Much smoke about tiny-weenie-nothingburger...sure, not "gentleman-like" but please c´mon there are #RealProblems in the world🙄
I'm in the EDM music scene and giving the heart sign is very common to do to every person you see as a love you all even if I don't know you type thing so I can kinda see where he did the sign to her and as she does it on TV all the time. But his comment when not seeing her body signals that she didn't like it and was only something she did to her family, made it hit that line.
friend of mine from HS goes to Columbia, apparently there were cops that were overheard last night given the order to arrest every single protester on their campus.

The majority of these people aren't protesting to israeli govt and it's absurd to think they are. Cheering oct 7th, supporting hamas, cheering when iran attacked, calling for an antifada, none of those are anything but disgusting racism.
Being against the Israeli govt saying these x laws and decisions are ones we don't agree with, let's talk. That's not what's happening. We've seen the target and harass everyone who doesnt agree with them, even though most of them are uninformed. We've seen them call forna ceasefire while cheering when israel gets attacked. We've seen them take down posters of kidnapped people. None of that is policy disagreement. That's racism.
Right! Since this fiasco began the 1 thing that I myself have been telling people when it gets brought up is that people are dying because old men are selfish and greedy. I have watched as every opposition to Netanyahu has been vilified as antisemitic. That is Not how you gain support. That is how you silence those who would call out blatant brutality. Such silencing says more about the Truth behind this than any propalistinian effort.
Happy to see people get their life in order and it motivated me to try harder.
I am a husband, a father, a business owner, pet owner, and an individual. I found balancing everything so difficult and nerve racking. I went to therapy and started a weekly schedule for myself. Where I set time to focus and do what I feel is important. Knowing that I have the time to do chores and errands, while still having plenty of time for fun and family has really helped me
Always love a short and wholesome story about a famous person being a human being. I always figured that Mariska Hargitay was a nice person, but very heartwarming that she stopped in the middle of production to help that kid :')
I will say, for the first story, The backlash wouldn't be as pronounced on social media if the roles were reversed; I could see it as something social media would almost go along with and champion in that alternate universe. I personally see it as harmless, if pretty awkward.
Was wondering the same thing? I bet there's a lot of female reporters who are flirty with male athletes that we don't bat an eye to.
@erikfinkel2717 I was distracted through the first story and had to go back to hear what he actually said/did after hearing the Jemele Hill post. I thought it was something way worse than an awkward interaction around the heart hands, considering some of the stuff I've seen on sports shows in passing directed towards male athletes.
@@erikfinkel2717 Ya Jimmy G and Justin Herbert get cringey awkward comments from female reporters post game on the field but where the mob at???
Yeah I have seen way worse to male athletes and male actors from interviewers or TV shows.
Although it is weird what he did it seems like an awkward person delivering a joke badly
Worse case, harassment, not sexual harassment or misogyny
I'm so, so happy to hear about Amsterdam.
I'm from Lisbon, and it's heartbreaking to see the city only changing in a way that disregards cultural policy, and only caters to money and tourists.
From every building being turned into an hotel; people being kicked out of their houses for them to be turned into Airbnbs. Local, historical businesses being replaced by multinationals due to not being able to pay rent... Some of our transport, like the trams, still hasn't caught up with the demand. And being half filled with people who are both distracted by the view, and don't really know the 'tram etiquette', makes trams really hard to use. And this bleeds to the rest of the city.
We desperately need more laws. I hope Amsterdam will become an example, thank you Phil.
I live in Tenerife and this is currently happening here too. No laws changing yet, although the residents have started manifesting.
I’m from the Azores and man I feel this statement to the core. To think this island was once so beautiful and our own slice of heaven… now it feels like they can’t wait for the locals to be gone so they can make more houses and infrastructures completely dedicated to tourists 💀
I’m from Amsterdam and I’m afraid that we are going to need a bit more time to become an example, because this is not the first thing the municipality has done to try to curb tourism but some of the previous efforts have been rejected by the courts (the exact reason as to why is too complicated for a youtube comment but comes down to “no, a municipality does not have that power” most of the time). But I really do hope we eventually become that example that you guys can follow cause HOT DAMN there sure is a thing such as “too many tourists” and I’m fucking done with that problem fo sho
Venician here and it’s the same
I live in Amsterdam and I'm sorry but 90% of all of this anti-tourism sentiment is boomers being NIMBYs. It's weirs rich fucks who chose to live in million euro apartments that are located on top of bars, that's across the street from a bar and a club and then endlessly complain about the commotion that comes along with that. They don't have to live right in the middle of old-town, they can live in any number of amazing neighborhoods across Amsterdam that have no such issue but people like this never consider that maybe they just live in a place that's unsuitable for their life style. They're also waging a very successful campaign to push sexworkers out of the historic red light district and into what's essentially a strip mall at the edge of town. Nobody wants or likes this except the rich fucks whos property value can now only benefit from the destruction of all that actually made their properties be worth millions. Wanna know what would actually kill tourism in Amsterdam? Banning non-residents from museums for the summer. It would decimate the industry but they don't do that because this is not actually about tourism.
Is the city center of Amsterdam a busy, noisy, crowded place, especially when it's warm out? Hell yeah. It's a major metropolitan area; people go there to do shit. Of course it's busy, noisy and crowded. If that's not something one wants to deal with, one has plenty of quiet areas of Amsterdam to live in. Or hell, call me crazy, if one doesn't like living in a major metropolitan area, one can live elsewhere entirely.
Love from georgia phil ive been watching you for 14+years and you covering the news thats happening here means the word to me and our people ❤
As someone who has lived in Amsterdam all his life, I've seen this city change to something I don't recognize anymore. From a city with character, it has turned into a soulless mess of mass consumption geared towards foreigners. Sure, it's been the capital of multiculturalism long before New York was even a thing, but the moment you get addressed in English everywhere instead of Dutch is where you cross a line for me. Most of my friends won't be able to afford to live here anymore soon, and neither will I, and that just saddens me.
Did I just understand correctly that an American politician essentially asked for nuclear holocaust?
Yep, welcome to America.
These people will cut their arms off for “gods chosen people.” What did you expect?

@@-Nickname-Deaf or hearing comprehension problems, intentional obtuseness? What he said was fairly straightforward. Tho he did clarify later and said he meant that he wanted to get it over quick , but that’s what a nuke does, otherwise there are no real ways to ‘end wars quickly’. I can’t imagine he’d given much thought to it however, as dropping a nuke anywhere is not a straightforward affair. Likely just said it in an over excited state or exaggerated for effect.
Thank you for not forgetting about Lahaina and continuing to report about it. As a small town girl I really appreciate that we're not just yesterday's news
It boggles my mind that they're still keeping the deathtoll number at 100...... Sooooo sad :(
@@Aegis159 what do you mean? it was a little over that, I think about 110. A family friend was one of the last to be found
The heart gesture thing and comment....what a nothing burger. The US is crazy man...
As a Floridian who grew up mostly in Daytona Beach in the 90s, I ABSOLUTELY get the limits on tourism, *and* I've seen the results of mismanaging it. When the people in office kicked MTV Spring Break out for being too loud and bothering the q-tips, that cost the town a LOT of revenue and it took quite a while, and a lot of investment in giving the town a "family fun" vibe to bring the "right" amounts and kinds of tourists in. Today things have bounced back, but in the interim, a lot of smaller businesses crumbled, and much of the older charm specific to the town has been replaced with generic "Floriday tourism" stuff that exists everywhere else in the state.
Also - You really got my hopes up when you mentioned a Georgia lawmaker getting punched and then put Marge on the screen, how could you play with my feelings like that, Phil!? I thought we were friends- and I mean that in a healthy, long time fan way.
Born and raised in Hawaii, and I WISH our economy wasn't so dependent on tourism. Covid was great in that I could actually visit beaches, eateries, and go to malls without being overwhelmed by the amount of people there. Trying to go to popular beaches is so hard when tourists take up most, if not all, of the parking.

Hey Phill, Venice student here. 🙋♂️
I am studying Urban Planning in Venice and been living here for a few months now.
Personally, I have to agree with you. Venice is overpriced and too crowded in areas like San Marco or Rialto because those are the BIG tourists spots. I never planned in visiting this city because of that, too many people, overpriced and never really cared.
The thing that most people get annoyed about Venice is not only how crowded it gets, but also how easy it is to get crowded because of specifically tourists.
Venice as a city with 200k inhabitants at some point (centuries ago) that lived comfortably. Today those residents (many students) are around 80k and with 100k tourists a day visiting the city.
Because these people that are visiting for 1-3 days go to the BIG touristy areas, those feel impossible. Tourists stop on bridges to take pictures and block tge passage for everyone behind them which makes it even tougher to go around, blablabla.
After living here for a few months I have to say that, because of that you run through the city feeling crowded as a tourist. After months here, I learned where to go to avoid them and it's just feels like a normal city.
About the tourist fee: it's 5€ entrance; residents of the municipality and students don't pay but they have to register in a online platform saying they live in the city.
And the idea is not really reduce tourism. I don't think it will work that way, but to have it finance ways to reduce the tourism consequences like trash around and improve PT.
Love the show, if there are any Venicians here feel free to correct me on anything. I'm a foreign student and don't live in the island. :)
I love Mariska Hargitay, I'm glad she can so easily embody one of the best police detectives on tv and just slip into the real world occassionally, thanks Det. Olivia Benson!
On the wildfire smoke story it should be noted that federal “wildland firefighter” aren’t recognised as firefighters so they don’t get the proper pay, health and retirement benefits. Support your local wildland firefighters!
Seems like a foolish group not to take care of. Thanks for informing me.
Yes. Personally had a former job with the Forest Service and came in contact with different 'wildland firefighters'. The region I lived at the time had history of wildfires, to the point locals dubbed summer as 'fire season'. So it was basically common place to see them working. While there, I had pleasure of meeting and interacting/working with different 'wildland firefighters'. Ones I particularly remembered being those who were part of Engine Crews and/or Hand Crews, as well as individuals who were Smokejumpers, and Hotshots. Even just listening to their experiences was something. 'Wildland firefighters' absolutely deserve the support.
That's a travesty
I read somewhere that they hire inmates too when there is a fire !
As a Georgian, thank you for talking about The Georgian Dream's simping for Russia. I am deeply concerned about what them staying on power will mean for us in the future.
Imagine being a mom, you've lost your kid in NY and you're freaking the hell out and all of a sudden Olivia Benson walks up to you with your kid in hand. The weird combination of fear, relief, and starstruck she must have been! This is why I love Mariska Hargitay
On sexist interview story: Two things can be true at the same time. It is totally fair to read what the reporter said as sexist and uncomfortable. It is also fair to relate to the reporter putting his foot in his mouth by saying something that comes off as wild when he meant it another way. If Caitlin has taken offense, that is valid and she is owed every apology, but her taking offense doesn’t automatically mean Gregg is a blanket bad person. We as a society can allow shades of gray and room for well-meaning people to learn and grow.
I have an old saying "you can't choose your relatives but you can choose your family." Most of my family isn't related to me. I don't know how she took it but it seemed like a nice gesture that shock "journalism" decided to latch on to. I could be wrong but worst case scenario would have been her upset and him apologize. That's it.
To me it sounded like the journalist had a half cooked plan. He wanted to do the heart sign cause it was her thing but was socially awkward enough to not have a real conversation after that and ended up coming off bad. Maybe the guy is a creep but it didn’t really seem like it from that interaction. It was just awkward.
Yeah despite his comment feeling a bit inappropriate and awkward, it didn't feel ill intentioned. Seemed like he was just trying to connect with her and make a flirty joke. Twitter truly just takes any small moment and conflates it way beyond what it originally was, just to make a point about something larger. It's up to parties involved, if the female athlete felt uncomfortable its her desicion to voice that or not, and the reporter to apologize if need be. All in all not a huge deal.
I take offense with your take, now apologize.
The lost little girl story is the most adorable thing ever
The first two stories are the closest I've come to throwing up just from hearing someone say something. I'm a Christian but "Dew yew wawnt Cohlumbiya Yewniversitay to be cursed bah Gawd?" is so dumb I want to wretch. Thank goodness for the Mariska Hargitay story for a nice reset.
Regarding the first story (reporter): If I'd read that press conference as a script, I definitely would've read what he said with palpable malice. That said, I didn't hear any malice or misogyny in his tone. He SOUNDED like he was fumbling uncomfortably; like he realized halfway through the sentence that he was about to say something weird, but desperately tried to save it...obviously, failing to do so.
His apology sounded genuine, and he learned his lesson. In my opinion, (as a woman, for what it's worth), the backlash from the public was punishment enough.
That lady did not regret her comments, she regrets being yelled at by the internet for her comments
I don't think she should regret her comments. If you she has an opinion, no one should care.
@@lil_dak_1587 She has the right to her opinions, but we also have a right to call her out on how stupid her opinions are.
@@lil_dak_1587 also she's an educator, it's insane to use that positionality to teach students to judge and criticize women for no reason lol
Seems ridiculous this woman gets dog piled by the entire internet for her opinion. I've commented about actors I don't get the appeal of. Doesn't mean I need to have a press conference with their agency to explain my feelings.
What Ms Baum felt about Sydney Sweeney is exactly how I feel abou Gal Gadot. She's not that pretty , at least compared to other actress, she not a good actor at all and she isn't a box office draw. How was she even employable? That is even before counting the whole Genocide Barbie angle.
Side note, I actually was trying to reply to this thread but accidentally made a new post .
as someone who lives in a tourist town (Niagara falls) I absolutely hate summer around here because of that. Tourists who don't know where they're going blocking small roads, because they didn't read a sign that said it's not a through street, garbage everywhere, people with attitude problems. They've started doing some things to mitigate it, but it's really not enough. When we have events for kids or small community events that tourists catch wind of it can absolutely ruin them, not to mention because of the heavy tourism that seems to be the only thing the city cares about while the rest of the city falls apart at least the area around the tourist sector looks nice!
Often times too, the tourism isn't even really felt by those who live here because of the big corporate interests that are clawing away everything from the residents. The irony though is they're over marketing themselves now lol even during the recent solar eclipse they were calling for a state of emergency here expecting a massive influx of people, but it was no worse than a busy summer day lol everyone thought it was gunna be too busy so no one came XD
Napa folk feel The same way during Tourist season
Yep I live on lake Winnipesaukee in nh and every summer it gets flooded with tourists over half the houses in my town are second homes and especially people in my neighborhood come just for the summer and act like they own the place questioning every decision that was done In the neighborhood when there are here for about 2 months out of the entire year…. Hell I doubt I’ll be able to even afford to live in my home town now
It must be noted when they talk about tackling antisemitism on campus at Columbia they’re exclusively talking about anti-zionism and critiques of Israel. The whole coverage of the story has been red herring after red herring.
Imagine growing up watching Law & Order SVU, settling down IRL, having a kid, taking kid to the park, losing said kid at the park, and having freaking Olivia Benson randomly approach you at the park.
The emotional roller-coaster is wild
The irony of Dave Portnoy trying to call someone else sexist is hilarious
I think too few people are noticing this. Fuck Dave Portnoy
As someone from Indy, there has been vocal opposition to Gregg Doyel for a while now. Dude has a history of some major "yikes" moments.
Indy Star has some great sports journalism overall, breaking the Larry Nassar USA Gymnastics story for example, so it boggles my mind they still have this guy on staff.
So sorry that this was Clark's welcome to Indiana.
I live in Las Vegas and I'm so happy countries are putting limits on tourism. Vegas, even as a tourist hot spot, I think is unique to live in because most tourists are not going to places where people actually live. They're going to the strip so as a local, tourists don't impact me in my day to day life. That is not the case in most tourist cities and I am very aware how disrespectful tourists can be. I can't imagine living somewhere where your daily life is affected by entitled and rude people who are only coming to visit and don't care about how they behave themselves in public. Even on the rare occasions when I have ventured down to the strip, the tourists make it genuinely difficult to enjoy the few things that are actually worth going to down there.
The wildfire smoke thing sounds even worse than you'd think. I live in Illinois. Last summer when Canada was covered in wildfires, there were full weeks where MY town, nowhere near Canada, was covered in a sheet of smoke. Even an afternoon of having the window open completely fucked up my throat. It's terrible. Even if you don't think you'll have to deal with wildfire, the smoke travels FAR.
I am also in Illinois and remember how hazy it was at that time!
I'm an Aussie, and while we definitely deal with horrendous bushfires, too, where I've lived, we haven't had to deal with crazy bad smoke coming from a fire states away, but I do know of some others who have.
But, this all reminded me of the red dust storm from central Australia that blanketed the north-eastern coast from 22-24 September 2009, during a drought. It was freaky.
I'm just thankful we'd heard of it on the news before it hit, so we had very little impact from it in/on our house.
The storm hit our town in the early-mid morning, so some of us were able to watch it roll in. It wasn't like watching a normal storm come in, where you can see it coming over hours, and the sky is dark on the horizon. It just looked hazy on the horizon, and it moved so fast that others were taken off guard as many didn't realise what was happening till when it hit. If you knew what it was, you had about 20 minutes to prepare before it hit.
My grandmother knew a lady who hadn't heard about it coming as she lived slightly remotely outside of town, and she didn't really watch/ listen to the news. Well, the day the storm hit, she was doing her spring cleaning and had every window and door and some cupboards in the house open to air out the place and clean, and being inside cleaning when it hit the house, giving her no time to close up beforehand. Obviously, she freaked out, thinking some horrible disaster had happened and rushed around closing up and coughing a bit after but was otherwise unharmed. She was slightly rattled but was able to call someone and found out what was going on and was at least settled that nothing too bad was going on. Of course, as you would expect, she had a much bigger clean-up to do after as the sand/ dust got into everything. Sadly, she did have to replace some appliances and such but thankfully she didn't have to do the clean up alone as friends and family came out and helped her, and they got it all sorted fairly quickly that afternoon, and the next day, after the storm had dissipated. But she said she was still finding sand/ dust in places months after, and she also started watching/ listening to the morning/ evening news updates just to be a little more aware in the future 😅

Religion has no place in politics. This is not something I want to see from a politician. Any politician. Political leaders and lawmakers have no room for their personal beliefs to make any kind of appearance in policy making or public opinion.
THEIR job is to serve US. THEY do not serve US when they serve THEMSELVES! This man's opinion or religious belief hold no weight here.
THAT IS NOT HIS JOB! His job is to ask questions and uphold the constitution, religoous protection is a part of that, yeah, but no one says very much about seperation of church and state.
19:05 it took me way too long to realize which Georgia you meant 😂
I'm so glad that we can be able to talk about the expectations of how women, whether athletes or not, should be treated. The backlash was certainly warranted and he should know what he said was wrong. However, I ALSO feel like his apology was genuine. In the way his apology was worded, he didn't use 'that's how I am' as an excuse, but as an explanation as to why he thought at the time it was okay. But emphasized that he now knew he crossed a line and apologized to Caitlyn for his behavior.
Because a lot of us have grown up to empty promises and fake apologies, I feel like no apology is ever accepted anymore which in the end only harms the cause we're fighting for. If we hear people like Gregg apologize and say we won't forgive or allow himself to be redeemed, then what is he supposed to do? Just never make a mistake? If our actual goal is for people to be better, it won't be achieved by villainizing everyone who has done wrong, but by praising those who learn from their mistakes and allow them to get better. Otherwise, we get the opposite effect and instead find ourselves with a community of those who think that if one mistake makes them the villain, then why bother trying to do better?
In the end, it's up to Caitlyn whether his apology is accepted or not. And it's up to Gregg's behavior from now on to determine how genuine he is in his words.
I live on the Oregon Coast, and several cities and towns have put a cap on the number of vacation rentals in a similar way as Amsterdam's hotels because they are contributing to the lack of affordable housing among other issues. Tourism, like any industry, needs to be regulated to protect places not just for the locals, but to also make sure they remain as somewhere a person would still actually like to visit
Mariska Hagirty literally doing her role gave me chills. I wish there were more cops like Benson in SVU.
I'd love a weekly vlog rather than a daily. It makes the episodes more digestible and easier to keep up with. Love your channel!
I'm in Ohio, so wild fires aren't usually a concern, but last year during the Canadian wildfires, the air quality was terrible. I struggled to keep my asthma under control the entire time, and I can't imagine how people in more affected areas cope.
I am totally for countries limiting tourism. I love it. Hawaii is a perfect example of a place being TOO reliant on tourist and tourism and it making the people who ACTUALLY LIVE THERE miserable. Politicians and businesses focusing too much of tourism and not enough on making sure that the country (or state) can survive without it. Especially with social media and everyone wanting to be like their favorite influencer and that going to some influencers heads, thinking that everything and everyone is supposed to cater to them. Just like you're not supposed to act any kind of way when visiting someone's home, you're supposed to be respectful in another person's country. I'm happy to see local governments finally focus on the residents over their visitors
oh god when i tell you i got scared seeing mariskas name- the RELIEF that it was wholesome.

That little girl in New York went looking for help from a police officer and found someone even better.

When was the last time someone's apologized and people said "the apology was well received".
Meanwhile, start a list of people who doubled down and acted like worse people and prospered because of it. It's going to take a while.

Amsterdammer here, a huge part of the tourism stuff is related to housing, our housing crisis is extreme as due to preserving all the historic buildings we dont have any high rise apartment buildings putting a hard cap on capacity.
The tourists come and create noise and pollution, especially the cruise ships which are also being banned and we’d rather have housing and nice parts of the city without high idiots.
People replacing college professors and presidents because of what they've said to replace them with the politics they want is sickening.
As a fellow awkward guy, that first story is why I mostly don’t talk to people I don’t know. You never know when something will be taken the wrong way and you’ll be labeled a creep or misogynist. People need to care a lot more about intentions.
I used to review documents received by a patient support program with patients who have asthma and I was CONSTANTLY seeing reports of asthma worsening during forest fires. So many people have asthma and/or other diseases that worsen with smoke particulates; even healthy people can have a hard time after a prolonged exposure. Forest fires are absolutely devastating for so many reasons :(

I went to Amsterdam last week. It was great but I can see why residents are quite sick of tourists. Walking around the red light district with loud groups of Americans and British football hooligans blowing smoke and barging through people is certainly not ideal
As someone that lived for years in a popular tourist area (Cape Cod) I can see why places want to limit tourists. It's like an invasion of ignorance.
Aloha Phil. From Hawai’i (O’ahu). Thank you for talking about Maui. The biggest fear right now is people forgetting the people of Lahaina. It happened less than a year ago but for most it already feels like ages ago because of how fast-paced the world. There are still families who are homeless or are paying the high rates of rentals and hotels while the government and insurance companies play a game of chicken. At the same time, developers and outside interest are trying to get in their stakes to capitalize on the land. It’s a mess that the people are trying to fight and I hope I see Lahaina rebuilt the way the communities envision it within my lifetime.
Please do not forget the people of Lahaina.
As a parent that wants to take their kids to places so that they can be more open minded, I’m understanding of why places are limiting/banning tourists. Even at home I’ve seen times where my kids had more manners than the adults around us. It’s mind numbing how bad it’s gotten.
Re: the Caitlin Clark story, I gotta say, listening to the remark, it sounded much more like a very awkward/clumsy comment than one with any intention to be creepy in my opinion.

I understand why people would be upset, but that's truly all I heard.
I live in Dalmatia, Croatian coastal region. Tourism sucks. Our costs of living are higher then other places, food costs going up, our E.R. gets overly crowded in summer, our roads are a nightmare because of so many tourists coming in, our beaches are a chaos, moving trough town can be a nuisance...The over all quality of life just plummets. And I don't even live in the worst town. You should check out the level of harassment citizens of Split live trough with Western European and American tourists pub crawls in the summer.
Tourist, young people that primarily came to party, treat the whole towns and people living there like a service to them, like we all live just to accommodate them on their holidays. I dread the season each year and can't wait for them to go away in the autumn.
My mom lives in Maui. There are many horror stories about how many "duds" there are in power and how badly things are handled in general and how difficult it is to get anything done there.
When I was a freshman in college my history professor was doing roll call and when a student with a Hispanic sounding last name wasn’t in class my professor said that he probably didn’t make it through customs that morning. I was shocked as I’d never heard someone especially a teacher say something like that. But, when I brought it up to the dean he just told me those things happen and that I’ll be okay. It made me feel stupid like I was just a dumb girl over reacting and wasting his time. It felt so patronizing. After that I kept quiet when things like that happened again. And, it did happen again in other classes.
My prof would make that joke about a student with a German name (born here) because he was frequently late. Eventually he even started saying customs detained him as a joke when he was inevitably late. Eventually he started taking an earlier bus.
They both need to be penalized, if not just straight up fired, honestly. You weren't over-reacting, you did the right thing. But I totally get becoming quiet after that because, like... what else do you really do in that situation? You did all you could & they proved they wouldn't do their part & listen to you as they should. I hope you're in a better environment now ❤
Lololol damn that prof is hilarious
@@ryancool21 Yeh, straight up. That sounds like a unit of a prof.
My prof used to make remarks about me being Indian and being so unsocial that I was practically dead (I was shy). Dude even put me in a test question, for our finals, said I was smoking crystal under a ferris wheel (law class, lol).
These types of profs are the BEST. World too soft for them now. Sad... very sad
@@feliciaroseantonia Jesus christ, can we just stop trying to cancel everyone for any minor wrong thing they say please? Maybe it was insensitive, so the correct way would be to warn him not to joke about these things. Why fire somebody? Thats really just a power trip on your side and straight up evil. You may say things that other people are sensitive to and you dont know about it.
I am a tour guide in New Orleans, who does this because, as a Cajun, this is part of me preserving and spreading my culture. Also, I am in physical spitting distance of the most haunt mansion in the French Quarter , Lalaurie. I am speaking on my behalf because tourist help us preserve our culture. In a world that is entirely digital, I come from a physical culture. Our dances, our food, our music, cannot be captured by words, but by recordings and videos. The only reason I have my grandmothers gumbo recipe was because I followed her around with a camcorder with tape. But, at times I have to wait hours to get to my groceries because of tourist. I can’t get my favorite foods because the restaurants are packed. We have to make places “exclusive” or “locals only.”
Mariska Hargitay helping that poor girl who thought she was a cop is an example of life imitating art in the best way. I fell out of love with Law & Order: SVU years ago, but Olivia Benson remains one of my favorite protagonists in crime dramas.
Hargitay's performance made that character. If only more celebrities with influence and/or power followed this example on & off-camera, acting in good will toward innocent people like this child rather than abusing and taking advantage of them.
Disappointed to see the "comments talk" not in this episode. I've been looking forward to those. It reminds me how the Friday reading comments episodes were slowly phased out. 😢
Who knows... maybe just maybe, Phil will bring back a Friday show of just the weeks comments over the weeks topics... please Phil 💜
I lived in The Netherlands for 6+ years. You would have to pay me stoooopid money to live in Amsterdam. The number of tourists makes almost everything you try to do (errands etc.) *annoying*. I tried to avoid it outside the middle of winter.
