Phil didn’t call me a beautiful bastard today. And I took that personally.
Well I'm just a random internet stranger but you are a beautiful bastard.
Watcha gonna do about it you beautiful bastard?😎
HOW DARE HE NOT CALL US THAT?!?!
It's cuz he don't really care about us, we're in a pretty abusive relationship here.
I too feel offended by this
Guys remember if Phil doesn’t call us beautiful bastards he says it with his eyes
I'll see your comment in the next episode 😂
And he does in fact, love our faces. So that's nice.
“If your Phil neglected to call you or a loved one a beautiful bastard, you may be entitled to financial compensation.”

Columbia student here. One thing that has been bothering me about coverage of these protests that hasn't been addressed is the blatant one-sidedness of the accusations of hate and harassment. The other day outside of my campus, hundreds of protestors in support of Israel gathered and proceeded to viciously harass any student who was wearing a keffiyeh. They called us terrorists, they mocked us, they tried to intimidate us by recording our faces and threatening our futures. They reached out to physically assault students, climbed our gates, and beckoned us to come fight them, calling us cowards when we did not abide. I called out the casualty count in Gaza and one woman called me "trash" and "scum," and told me to "go back where you came from." At one point I watched her and her fellow protestors harass a disabled student in a wheelchair, all while the police stood by and did nothing. They did these things knowing that they could do them with impunity because the administration and police would not say or do anything, while pro-Palestine supporters sat by mostly silent, knowing that anything said would be manipulated by the media and used against the movement.
To be clear, what defined these protestors was not that they were Jewish, but that they were supportive of Israel's slaughter in Gaza. We had orthodox Jewish protestors join us throughout the day in support of Palestine against Israeli aggression, clearly stating with their signs that antizionism is not antisemitism, and that Judaism does not condone the atrocities being committed. Because those protestors chose to stand with Israel in spite of their faith, the administration, government officials, and the media will not call out these acts of hate. They are done in favor of the aims of the powerful. When the actions of a group -- any group -- support those in power, said group is protected with privilege. The actions of protestors in support of Palestine directly challenge the powerful, and so they are tear gassed, arrested, threatened with disciplinary action and labeled as antisemites, all to silence their voices.
There are real acts of antisemitism taking place, just like there are real incidents of islamophobia. All forms of hate are abhorrent and have no place in our society, and any individual taking advantage of the situation to spread their hate deserves condemnation, at the very least. However, one form of hate is being highlighted and associated with the critics of the status quo in an effort to turn the people against them, while another form of hate is being ignored.
_"At one point I watched her and her fellow protestors harass a disabled student in a wheelchair, all while the police stood by and did nothing"_
I'd hope some of these things were recorded. Not surprised it happened btw, all things considered...
_"When the actions of a group -- any group -- support those in power, said group is protected with privilege"_
Welcome to clown world. But not to worry FISA was recently reauthorized, so it's all uphill from here......
It's frustrating that media parrots these claims that Jewish students supposedly feel unsafe, without providing any actual reason or incident. It may have been Columbia or another campus that had a seder meal in the midst of their encampment, yet we're supposed to believe that these encampments are hotbeds of antisemitism? Keep up the fight, you all are on the right side of history
This is what happens when you don't bend the knee to Israel. That crap needs to go up on CZcams. Phil needs to cover this side too. Israel really is run by a terrorist government and that crap leaks over to our country. All because of nonsense gods and not wanting to side against fairly tales
WE STAND WITH YOU AND FELLOW PRO-PALESTINAIN PROTESTER!!
On the college protests, I saw footage of Jewish students at protests openly celebrating Passover together at those protests. I don't understand how a protest can be antisemitic when students are openly practicing Judaism there
Protests will have token jews but that doesn't make the whole cause anti-semitic. Their goal if you ask any of them in a larger sense than divestment is the destruction of the state of Israel. Ask literally any protestor.
The horrific thing about the Harvey Weinstein case is that it shows how much money can buy. He has millions and millions to pour into legal teams in order to exhaust every possible appeal and gets to retraumatize the survivors again and again when he does. 😔
Absolutely agreed. These women were the incredible few that spoke up & I so incredibly hope that the Me Too movement showed & continues to show (unfortunately with growing numbers) that they aren't alone.
Here’s why if it matters Harvey Weinstein is a horrible person who should spend the rest of his life in jail but what they did in that courtroom was wrong to Harvey Weinstein they were going to bring him 13 or 14 other witnesses who had not been subpoenaed that the defense did not know about to come in and testify against him so Harvey Weinstein said what I want to bring in witnesses who said they had a positive sexual encounter with me to testify on my behalf they said no we won’t allow you to have any witnesses. That’s not fair. If you’re gonna bring in a witness to testify against him then he should be allowed to bring a witness testify for him and the jury decide who they wanna believe it’s not about Harvey Weinstein. In this particular case it is due processrights.
@Jchasy You may personally feel that that's unfair, but that is the legal precedent that is set. The defense's position was not "Harvey Weinstein is a great lover" it was that he never sexually interacted with the victims. If his tram wanted to bring in people to back that up, they'd be fully allowed to as it's within the scope of their defense and the trial. You can't just switch tactics and bring in a ton of witnesses outside of your scope just because the evidence makes you look bad. The reason the prosecution was allowed to was because they established from the start that their position was "Harvey Weinstein has a pattern of abuse and we will prove that."
Getting to force this and knowing how it hurts them is probably an added benifit for a guy who's lost authority, control, and the chance to continue abusing as he had. Likely it gives him a boost knowing what this all does. Not just those who testify but those who have to think about him more and get triggered when his name gets stirred up again. It wont just be the news talking him but also jokes and refrences as he's renewed in the public mind. It all just makes me sick to think about.
what your missing is it was a flawed trial to begin with. What your talking about is irrelevant and the point it got overturned. Trauma is not evidence or facts of others wrongdoings.
This is a justice system overreach and we can't weaponize it simply because its a good cause.
How is it that "Having too many victims testifying" is grounds for a mistrial?
What kind of precedent does this set?
I once testified for my neighbor against her abusive husband, and they are ridiculously strict about what gets to be said in court. My neighbor speaks limited English and when she was asked questions like “Did you leave him?” and answered with “No, I was too scared” they threatened to strike all her testimony if she didn’t answer with just yes or no. She wasn’t even allowed to provide context. Meanwhile she’s up there crying, recounting horrors she and her children survived, and only partially understanding what they were saying. I’m not sure why they didn’t have an interpreter for her, but it was brutal to see.
No, having unrelated people testify in the case is cause for mistrial. They werent connected to the case at hand and were only there to attempt to paint the man as evil in character. No evidence of the crimes at hand or connection to the actual case, just a flat attempt to tamper with the jury by allowing the prosecutes to just tell them what to think, regardless of evidence
The precedent it sets is "innocent until proven guilty". It's unreasonable to use allegations as proof of guilt.
I'm hoping a new guilty verdict can be reached, but it has to be done justly.
As far as I understand (as someone who is *not* a lawyer), the argument is about relevance. Harvey Weinstein's lawyers argued that the extra witnesses described conduct that had no pertinence to the actual crimes being prosecuted -- that just because he did awful stuff to other people, it doesn't mean that he was guilty of his current accusations. Thus, the extra witnesses unfairly prejudiced the jury against Weinstein. Courts are *very* particular about what witnesses are able to say; there are rules depending on the type of witness that is testifying. I don't agree with the court's decision to overturn Weinstein's conviction, but that's my amateur understanding.
Welcome to the world of corrupt judges too high in power.
At 37yrs old, I needed a referral to the radiologist for a breast lump. The radiologist said my images look benign, you seem fine & have no cancer symptoms. I went back to my primary, she actually advised me to have the lump removed. She said maybe it's nothing but later on if something else grows behind the 1st lump you'll never know. I agreed, was referred to some great doctors/surgeons who acted quickly and my lump ended up being triple negative cancer, ONCO test high risk. We caught it just in time, in 4 wks it doubled in size, it was about to spread to my lymph nodes. If I had listened to the radiologist & waited 3 months for a follow up appt, I would have had a totally different outcome. I was sent for genetic testing and I have no mutations or precursors. My cancer is considered environmental so my oncologist said back in Nov Im a candidate for this new genetic testing coming out that has promising results. Im hoping that I get the test & they find some answers as to why I had cancer. Environmental is too broad.
Always have them removed - that’s why my oncologist said. She said if it doesn’t belong there, we take it out.
I’m 28 and I’ve had 3 surgeries. Less than half of mine were phyllodes which can turn into cancer. Luckily I’ve been fully benign so far and my last scans showed no new growth (I still have lumps but TINY ones I can’t even feel myself that are not growing. We monitor those for changes and if they grow, we remove).
I believe location, size, growth, and scans determine whether they will do surgery or not.
very irresponsible for a radiologist to just decide that you're fine just from scans. especially when you're worried about cancer and triple negative breast cancer isn't exactly that uncommon. dealing with it as soon as possible is the best course of action.
Do you mind if I ask what BIRADs number you got on your imaging? I am in this exact situation right now except my primary did not give me any different recommendations 😔 trying to navigate as best I can
@sym5340 I would say a 3, when the radiologist tried saying it looked like a fibroadenoma just come back in 3 months. I immediately said my primary gave me a referral to a breast specialist for surgery, I want it removed. He said, "Oh ok, then rewrote the findings as could be something could be benign so I could get surgery. I was just reading that letter the other day because if he hadnt reworded the findings, i feel like it wouldve been much harder to get surgery covered by insurance. My lump started @2.4mm within 2 weeks it was at 3mm. The surgeon stated 2.5-3 is grounds for removal. Try requesting a biopsy instead of surgery and if you have any family history of cancer be sure to let them know. I'm sorry you and many others are going thru this.
@@1bibzie I got my first diagnosis 8 years ago (damn time flies!), everybody thought it was a fibroadenoma but they decided to do a biopsy ''just in case''. Turns out it was actually cancer, the fast growing type as well. We did chemo, they removed the lump, then radiotherapy. Everything seemed good and clear for almost 5 years. Fast forward in 2021, right after I got my first covid shot. Went for my bi-annual checkup, they found my lymph nodes were suspiciously bigger on my cancer side (which they found odd, as I had my shot on the other side, which can sometimes cause lymph nodes to appear bigger). Another biopsy later, we found out it was back. Chemo again, removed all the lymph nodes chain, radiotherapy, and almost 3 years later, I still go once every 3 weeks for a specific preventive treatment. I'm technically cancer free again, but there's no way to be 100% sure as one of the lymph nodes couldn't be removed. We did the genetic tests 8 years ago and they were inconclusive, I will ask my doctor again next time to see if it would be a good idea to redo them now. So much can be found in 8 years when it comes to science. And I need a rational answer. Because getting cancer at 29 when you're overall healthy doesn't make sense.
I’m a student at Indiana University and students and other members of the community protested today. It was peaceful until the police and state troopers showed up to throw around the protestors. There was even a sniper on top of a building aimed at the crowd at one point, there were photos captured of this. It’s actually frightening that the police escalated it so far. None of the protestors were even armed.
Wtf
Yuck… welcome to america
That's how you know this isn't really "the land of the free."
Police ordered students to take away the tents. Students chose not to comply. After final warning police moved in to take away tents and arrested students who interfered. Privileged and entitled...welcome to consequences.
@@funkspinnain no way does unarmed, nonviolent protests warrant getting lethal weapons and violence aimed at you. Stop fetishising this just because you dislike the demographic you dislike, before it becomes so normalised that it gets used against those you side with as well.
I find it laughable that Abbott was screeching free speech against masks but then starts crying when students were using their constitutional right to protest
The heavies, yum
You can protest, but calling for the destruction of Israel and making death threats towards Jewish students is not protected under the 1st amendment. I live in Austin. I saw it first hand and have Jewish friends. They are scared to death and can’t leave their dorms or get to their classes. It isn’t peaceful, it is causing harm to people.
@@WhosPloxitythose people that are afraid could stop supporting a genocidal apartheid state, then nobody would want to rightly defend themselves from your friends.
@@WhosPloxity Calling for the destruction of Israel is absolutely protected under the 1st amendment, so is calling for the destruction of any state.
Just because a few bad actors got in doesn’t mean you can use them to paint the protest. If that was the case I’m sure the media would be all over it replaying it on all their news stations to justify the use of police brutality. It’s not like when all the white guys were chanting the Jews will not replace us. Now that was something else.
I feel like there is a big difference between anti-Semitism and protesting what the Israeli government is doing...one can protest without being anti-semitic, but the problem is politicians are trying to blur the lines between the two for political purposes. I don’t know that is just my opinion though.
All antisms are weaponized terms used to create a manufactured and subjugated 'other'.
When criticizing anything is tantamount to bigotry, nothing about the anti term being used holds any good faith interpretation whatsoever.
It's literally a tool.
That's pretty spot on, tbh. They're using anti-semitism to legitimise the brutality. Otherwise it's just people in power beating down on people protesting for a better world.
I mean Phil isn’t helping with that either,
fucking exactly.
There is a huge difference, being Jewish does not wave any criticism for war crimes and genocide.
My mother had colon cancer, so I was supposed to start getting tested at 35. My doctor kept pushing off because I was still "young". Now I'm 44 and living in a different state, and my new doctor scheduled me for one IMMEDIATELY. Even then, the office where I'm getting it done almost pushed me off until they heard I had a family history. To say I'm scared at this point is an understatement.
I was diagnosed with testicular cancer on the 19th of December 2022 - it was a mild pain that I ignored until it had spread through parts of my body. Just last week in April 2024 did I finally get the all clear. I am in my mid 30s don't be afraid to check and don't be afraid to see a doctor. There is zero shame in that. You are never to young to get it.
Yeah no shame, just kinda tiring to be told repeatedly your pain is probably normal, despite stating multiple of my direct family members have had this pain throughout their lives, doesn't count apparently, unless I somehow get their doctors to ignore doctor patient confidentiality 🤷♀️
It's amazing how law enforcement in texas was able to crack down on unarmed students, but also can't protect unarmed students. Really shows you where their priorities are.
They’re only purpose is the fuck up people they don’t like
truth hurts
Hundreds of police waiting for hours while a shooter murders kids: I sleep
Police at peaceful protests where the students are against tens of thousands of deaths: real shit
Police exist to protect assets, not people.
It’s nasty. We’re heading back to the Viëtnam wär era. Where the majority of the population are against the wär but we’re forced into it by corrüpt government offîcials. And now they’re aggressïvely and vïolëntly suppressîng peaceful dïssent.
Abbot saying anti-semitism won't be tolerated in Texas is really rich considering the sheer number of white nationalist and neo-nazi rallies/organizations in the state. Almost like what they care about is being pro-israel or at the very least anti-muslim, not protecting jewish citizens in Texas.
So long as it’s anti-Democrat in some way, he’s happy.

My cousin who is in her early 30's, has two kids under two, runs marathons, eats well, and climbs mountains, was just diagnosed with advanced breast cancer. It's crazy how cancer really doesn't discriminate.
Me and my sister who are only a few years younger immediately scheduled mammograms just to be safe.
My mom just died of Stage 4 Triple Negative Breast Cancer at 51 after being diagnosed since 2022. When I (at 29 now 30) tried to get a mammogram, I was told was too young and I needed a request from a doctor first and that it wouldn't be covered under insurance because I'm not 40. Smh.
Currently, I know a girl who is 23 diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. The US medical system need to do better.
I almost missed airline refund story because when it started with "buying tickets to anything is a massive pain" I finished the sentence in my head with "that's why I'd like to support today's sponsor Seat Geek" and started fast forwarding.
💀
I was about to be excited, it sounded like Seat Geek maybe was getting into airplane tickets, lol.
...you too huh??
Same, lol.
omg I did the same thing and had to go back
I live and was raised in Bloomington Indiana and am a former IUB student. Yesterday during a peaceful protest-in the same meadow (Dunn Meadow) the Iraq war was protested years ago-president Pam Whitten called in national guard and state police. They had armored vehicles, helicopters, and SNIPERS on top of buildings aimed at their students. The photos of armed guards smiling with their batons in hand are chilling. These are peaceful protesters who are being met with military grade weaponry
Hey Phil, as someone in the medical field, who (like most healthcare professionals) constantly fights the spread of misinformation, I am incredibly grateful for the segment you had in this episode discussing the increased incidence in cancer among the young. You did a wonderful job covering all the main points for a layman, and clearly stated the risks and concerns to focus on, as well as not exaggerating concerns and fears beyond what is reasonable.
Thank you!
I’m really getting tired of anything anti Israeli Government being immediately equated to Antisemitism.
Same 😒 but clearly those in power saying it need some way to legitimise their kickbacks from Israeli backers.
Maybe because you're not Jewish and have no business telling us what is and isn't Jew hate.
@@boofriedmann2980 My Father, Grandmother & Grandfather are all Jewish. My great grandparents left Poland for America in 1939 because they saw what was coming. I spent my entire high school years being teased for my “Jew nose” so I think I’m qualified. Israel has become the oppressor.
You also proved my point because in my comment I have not listed a single action I wish to change about Israel. And you immediately got mad. People should be allowed to criticize the actions of the Israeli government. They are not above criticism.
Instead of "fuck Israel" change it to "fuck netanyahu"
Instead of "fuck Iran" change it to "fuck khamenei"
Most of the protesters and people speaking out about the genocide in Gaza are very against antisemitism as well
I've seen so many videos of the dickheads chanting antisemitism shit at protests being booed and kicked out by the protesters
Hasan Piker also publicly humiliates antisemitics and then permanently bans them from chat
If the President of the United States feels the need to have immunity that's already more than enough reason to not give them immunity. If they didn't do anything wrong they have no reason to worry.
I watched an episode of Jon Stewart on The daily show. I wish I could find it and clip it here. And he talked about this immunity for the president. Which is really just the power of Kings dressed up in fancy democracy language. And it was quite funny.
It is the rules all us normal American have to live by.
@LLandS18 Haven't seen that one yet. But I saw a recent interview with Michael Cohen where he proposed that in theory, Joe Biden would be able to have Trump executed. (If Presidents were given full immunity.) It would never happen though.
You are currently seeing historical actions of a political persecution of a existing former president. It is election interference these charges are trumped up. Anybody who is an independent would say the same.
Imagine if you said your house was worth $500, 000 And the bank instead of evaluating the home for themselves took your word for it and lent you $500,000 and then you paid it back in full. Then years later someone who doesn't like you says you committed fraud even though no one was harmed and then makes you get rid of your house and pay the state $250,000? Does that sound fair,?
No no, that only applies if you're a normal person who doesn't want the government reading your emails.
If you're the most powerful person in the world, you should be totally free to do anything you want, no matter how much you think it might get you prosecuted.
"And if this is the last time we see each other, I love your face." That darkness came out of left field man. While not technically dark, my mind is.
On the topic of cancer. Something that stuck out to me was Dr. Leana S. Wen saying younger people need to get checked out more.
I've personally taken my concerns to my doctor many times, little issues and such that I've had throughout my life, and have only ever been told I was young and healthy and didn't have anything to worry about.
I have ground to cover physically, but now have cardiovascular issues that the doctor wishes they would have caught earlier and a biopsy waiting results to see if its cancerous...
Its hard to get help leading up to health complications because, and I know many others who have dealt with this issue, we're never taken seriously.
Because calling in the military and militarized police to break up student protests has famously always ended well.
I have a feeling they actually want another Kent State
And it's the democrats - who claim to support freedom - ding this!! Holy shit!!
Tom Cotton being an obvious example, but there are growing number of elites who are just salivating at the mouth for another Kent state. And remember, there were NO repercussions for that. Its a black stain on our history that saner politicians from back in the day wanted to never revisit in their time. This new crop? They wanna see bodies drop again. And this time, celebrate.
Many of the protesters are not even students from those colleges. A lot of them are from radical anarchist groups that spur on the public.
Those other protests did not call for another October 7th. Those other protests did not side with actual terror groups.
Alito is making a hypothetical situation of a President refusing to have a peaceful transition of power as a reason why we shouldn't....punish a former President for refusing to have a peaceful transition of power.
Yeah it is basically saying, that trying to commit a coup as the president is legal, as long as it happens while they are still in power.
If anything, not prosecuting a president for refusing to have a peaceful transition of power, ENCOURAGES a president trying again in the future. Either they succeed, and don't have to deal with the consequences, or they fail, and still don't have to deal with the consequences?
@@TiltedWatcher You can't be surprised that the GOP:s judges are bending backwards trying to save the orange criminal. It's what they're there for, they're party operatives.
Go figure for Alito 😂😂😂😂😂
"Oh no! If we charge a President for their crimes, other Presidents may be charged for their crimes!"
To quote the GOP, though, "If the President doesn't want to be charged with crimes, maybe don't commit crimes!". Somehow, never an option for GOP members.....
"If we don't make it so the sitting President doesn't face consequences for committing crimes, the sitting President won't wanna leave the place where they won't face consequences for committing crimes"
*dawg*
What the *fck* are we talking about?
I don't know how to go about my day without Phil calling me a Beautiful Bastard...
I have a family history of breast cancer on both sides of my family. In my early twenties my doctor recommended genetic testing for me and that’s when we found out I have the BRCA1 gene. After that they scheduled me for MRIs once a year and I got clinical breast exams as well, because I was too young for mammograms. Despite all that, I found the lump myself and I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer last year. I thought it was so crazy that this was happening at 29 instead of my later 40s, which was the average age my aunts and grandmothers had also been diagnosed. And then Hank Green and Grace Helbig after that! I thought I was heading into a crazy cancer conspiracy land thinking that I was seeing a trend. I’m extremely interested to know what researchers find out.
Cancer spiking in young people doesn’t surprise me the sheer amount of chemicals we come in contact with every day that are carcinogens is astounding. It doesn’t help that a lot of companies have a don’t get caught mindset instead of a don’t use it in the first place when it comes to things that are harmful to us. How often do we hear about a company doing something and getting a slap on the wrist fine instead of actually getting consequences.
Not to mention young people are often the poorest so we buy cheap products made with shoddy manufacturing and weird plastics.
My Nana, father, brother, and I all think I have Stage 4 cancer bc all the shoddy plastics & chems in foods that I've eaten thru my life. It'd especially be telling for uni kids who eat those micro-meals they can just easily heat up or the copious amounts of instant ramen we eat when we run out of uni meals/dollars.
I'm 30, I dont know any cooking basics so every work lunch is frozen or heavily processed, and dinners are out-of-box/jar or at the absolute most air fried, Cancer is always at the back of my mind as i lost the grandmother i lived with to it yet I still dont change, society and regularity has that strong of a grip 😅
I feel like in like 20 years we are going to be like… yup. It was all that vaping and low regulated food products. All we do is eat, sleep, and breathe microplastics.
Funny cancer also spiked after the vaccine we can't name
Amen to the “Never talk to police” advice. It doesn’t matter if you were in another *country* when an incident occurred, it’s the police’s job to charge people, not protect them.
*NEVER* talk to the police, *ALWAYS* invoke your right to an attorney, and *ALWAYS* invoke your right to silence until your lawyer is present.
Excellent advice. To piggyback on it it’s not enough to just remain silent. Always verbally invoke ur 5th amendment right and ask for a lawyer up front. Even if they claim it’s just an interview.
Yes, even if you're going in as a witness bring a lawyer. Too many incidents of people going in just for "questioning" only to end up wrongfully as a primary suspect, all because they need to pin the crime on somebody.
Have to be super clear too. “Give me a lawyer, dawg” isn’t clear enough because you might be asking for a lawyer dog. (Not a joke, a judge really decided that)
It must be so terrible and exhausting to be so scared of the police
And always film the police. Your own footage doesnt go missing, get edited, it’s free and may save you from a world of trouble.
As a cancer survivor (diagnosed at 29 with Breast Cancer) thank you for sharing this. I screamed out loud that none of the measures matter if the doctors won't take us seriously in the paywall for checking people for cancer doesn't get removed. I was at the victim of not being taking serious tied with the fact that I tried to call up different doc offices and told them when I found my lump to be seen because it was an emergency and they wouldn't even do a payment plan nor did they give me resources to get myself checked out for free so I thought I would have to wait for tax return to get it check out since it was downplayed. Couple months later I went to the ER with extreme pain.... They couldn't ignore it because it was large... next day bam stage 2 aggressive breast cancer. I always wonder how life would have been if I would have been listened too at the beginning. Small family history, not genetic gene, one year before I was suppose to start getting mammos per my mom's doctors warnings. This might sounds scary but keep you self checked out, know your body, and advocate for yourself (push tests if needed) because that 12% is low but could be you... it was me.
Ironic, my mom was literally just diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer at 44. Besides the obvious pain and signs, the initial doctor she went to said it was just menstrual pain… she had a hysterectomy four years before that. He refused to order test because it’s too expensive just assuming. Those doctors should be held accountable.
The problem with young adult cancer diagnoses isn't just that young people don't get screened it's that doctors make the assumption that because you're young, it can't be cancer. Some people spend months or even years just trying to find a doctor who will take their concerns seriously. I was very lucky to find a doctor who listened to me at my first appointment because I was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of breast cancer at a young age, and if she had just dismissed me, I most likely would not be here today. We may have trouble solving the mystery of why so many young people are getting diagnosed with cancer, but we can solve the problem of doctors not taking young people seriously when they have concerns.
You also have the issue with over screening. Young people and those not in risk groups should only be screened at a low level. Or else the level of false positives and misdiagnosis would cause more harm than good. Also the fact that many people are walking around with cancer. Cancers that won't do anything for decades and exposing them to treatment may actually increase the chances of them developing a lethal version of cancer.
This is a huge problem! I've had stomach problems ever since I was a teenager and more recently issues with bowel movements but doctors really do just shrug you off and say "well you're young and there's no history of this in your family" but also give you no answers as to what's causing it. I'm in Australia too so costs aren't really relevant to me unless I choose to go private but I've only in the last year found a doctor that has even CONSIDERED a colonoscopy.
@emanwhomakesbarrels701 so treating the cancer makes it worse? Why would anyone go thru treatment then, it's possible for it to not work but typically makes the cancer better what are you talking about? Early detection is always best
@@Armathlive the issue is that you can live with cancer for decades without it becoming dangerous sometimes. Likewise you could be told you've cancer when in reality it's a small growth that'd never become cancerous. What's happening now is we're diagnosing everything as cancer and people are having to go through a great deal of trauma and stress not to mention the physical dangers of surgery and chemotherapy. I've heard of several people who've been diagnosed with breast cancer and died as a result of the surgery. One of them had a lymph infection after surgery and lost her arm due to it. And the kicker was that the cancer wasn't even cancerous and just a strange anomaly on the scan. So early detection is best but only when it's actually cancer and the more you check for cancer the more likely you're going to find something that isn't it.
@@emanwhomakesbarrels701 I am not sure what the point of your narrative is, but since you chose to post under my comment, I feel compelled to respond. My point was that young people have trouble getting diagnosed because doctors don’t take them seriously. We are not suffering from an epidemic of over diagnosis. Comments like yours cause more harm than good because they are clearly meant to scare people away from getting treatment. I am in touch with many cancer survivors and I have never heard of stories like the ones you are sharing. Even if they are true, they are extreme outliers. Most breast cancers are not something you can just walk around with for decades. Cancer grows and spreads. Even slow growing cancer needs constant monitoring. Treatment does not make the cancer grow. It may not always work, but that just means it didn’t stop the cancer from growing. It did not encourage it to grow more. Treatment of any kind requires the initial diagnosis, which you are trying to scare people away from getting. I wasn’t in a high risk group and there was no family history of cancer, but that doesn’t mean my concerns should be ignored. I would never say that cancer treatment was an enjoyable experience, but it saved my life and I would never discourage someone from getting the treatment they need.
The problem with diagnosing cancer isn't just because young people don't expect to get cancer; it is that doctors overlook young people with symptoms. When I was a freshman in college, I began secreting blood from one of my nipples to the point I would have to use tissues and toilet paper to not bleed through my bra and shirt. I wasn't able to get a mammogram because my breast size was not big enough, but they did do an inconclusive ultrasound. I was obviously very concerned because I was still constantly bleeding. But the doctor really just said I shouldn't be worried because I was young. It was still happening a month later, and I went back in. She very purposefully stood outside the door of the room I was waiting in and loudly said, "Oh, she is probably going to complain to her mom if we don't diagnose anything." (I had never involved anyone else, so I don't know why she would loudly mention that) and then came in with two students who I didn't know would be there, had me undress, and showed how I was bleeding. It was very humiliating and condescending, and it worked because I didn't go back for treatment after that. The bleeding stopped on its own after a few months, but the treatment I received was so dismissive and condescending.
That’s awful. I’m sorry you went through that.
I have personally lost so much faith in doctors, due my experiences with them as an adult. Not only do they never seem to figure out the cause of my various symptoms, they don’t really seem to care, either. If my tests come up with nothing, they tell me I’m healthy, even though something is clearly wrong.
@@nav579 I’m completely with you. It’s so disheartening when something is obviously wrong and they say there isn’t anything. I think there is also just a lot of medical sexism as well to be honest.
fucking tell me about it i’ve been fighting with multiple doctors AND my insurance just to get ONE test done. I’m in pain DAILY and have been for 2 years. Yet they say it’s just “gas” or scar tissue from a past surgery. and even tho my blood tests arent normal they still don’t think anything’s wrong with me.
i’m so sorry you had to go through that. Just reading your story i can relate so much to it. They’re SO dismissive and condescending thinking we’re just hypochondriacs or overreacting even when we have VERY CONCERNING ISSUES!!! I hope you found a better doctor & are getting better care
“Cancer is rising in young people” Me who grew up near a mill so toxic several people have found fucked-up looking fish in the nearby river they dump into and Trump backpedaled our only hope on improving things: ~gasp~ No!
Hey Phil, your definitely scaring me. But thank you for caring. Been on this ride many years with you and it's nice to know your still here.
I have brain cancer called Glioblastoma grade 4. I suffered from severe headaches, back pain, and neck pain for years before I was diagnosed. Originally, I thought it was due to stress, as I was working 80-hour weeks. I delayed visiting the doctor because of work and medical costs. Eventually, I was fired because my condition worsened to the point where I could no longer complete my work anymore. I've now filed for bankruptcy due to medical costs, mostly for prescriptions.
We got to do something about our medical system here in America.
One would think holding the most powerful position in government would mean that person should be held to higher standards than regular people, but for “some reason” people are reluctant to do so for the president
Totally correct. As a corollary to that ANYONE in power needs to be held to a higher standard, ie police and local government.
Of it isn't "the President" this is very much about a singular (thought that can and with quickly change)
Just like kings that were free to do whatever to whoever
When democrats are indicted by red state prosecutors..... how hard are you gonna whine hypocrites?
USC student here! I'm walking at commencement and I was already pissed about their decision to not allow Asna to speak. Now they deploy the LAPD riot police to intimidate and harass students for simply standing in Alumni Park, AND they cancelled the main commencement ceremony altogether. They once again claimed that they're acting with students' safety in mind, but they didn't seem to care about our safety when they allowed police with rubber-bullet guns, tear gas, and batons onto our campus to break up a peaceful protest. They arrested dozens of students and three professors for exercising their First Amendment right. I'm sick of it. The administration doesn't care about us.
And by the way, I have many Jewish friends on campus. Some have felt unsafe, though that's mainly because of things they've been sent online. Not one has had anything said to them in person. Most of my Jewish friends are either pissed at the school for sending in LAPD or simply indifferent. Today there was a demonstration in front of campus honoring the hostages still being held in Gaza because they don't get to celebrate Passover at home with their families. It was allowed to stay up all day (as it should have been), and nobody was harassed. At the pro-Palestine sit-in in a park on campus, however, multiple students were verbally harassed. DPS (our campus police) was only present at the sit-in. The double-standard is clear, and it is ridiculous.
Phil, please continue reporting on this. We need people to see what is happening on our campus and others around the country. Our right to protest is being infringed, and our administrations must be held accountable.

@@Caterfree10???
I feel that he holds back quite a bit on reporting what is happening on the ground in Gaza that is motivating all of this.
Yes. He has been both-sidesing this issue since Oct 7th. And hardly mentioned it before that.
At least he is reporting on some of the most important stuff, but doesn't push the obviously right perspective hardly at all
keep up the good fight! solidarity with USC and all other campus protests!
Hey Phil (long comment sorry)
I am currently a student attending UT Austin, however I am not active on social media other than CZcams, so I didn’t see the instagram post about the protest
I was at work when I started receiving texts from UT Austin Police telling me there was police activity on Campus and to stay away from the area
We got updates almost hourly, which told no information of what was happening
If it wasn’t for the fact that I work down the street from campus, I would have assumed there was a shooting
That night, reading the email from the assistant chief of UT Austin Police Department, ordering the demonstrations immediate dispersal for the reasons of trespassing, rioting, and blocking pathways, “violation” of penal codes 42.01-42.03, as well as President Jay Hartzell’s email, saying he supports our first amendment right to protest while also condemning protesters for“breaking the rules”, made me lose faith in my home and its education systems
When I read the assistant chief’s claims the protest was a riot, I worried I would arrive to school on Friday to find everything destroyed. However, as I walk through campus today, I see that everything is as it was left Wednesday afternoon. There was no riot. UT students incited nothing.
Not many things bring me to tears, but seeing my fellow students exercise the rights we were taught to use as little kids and get arrested, condemned and shamed for doing so, does.
The Administration at UT does not support its students
Seeing a gap in Phil’s collar actually brings me happiness. I’m glad he’s keeping the lbs down. Stay healthy Phil.
I'm 40 and I was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. When I went to my health care provider with my initial suspicions and got an exam, they downplayed the chances that it was cancer, but sent me for tests "just to be safe." All along the path to my diagnosis, after every test and every scan, I heard over and over again "it's probably not" and "you're so young, I doubt it's anything serious," etc. until I got the phone call that I highly suspected was coming. I live a healthy lifestyle and I don't carry the genetic markers. Multiple doctors told me they were surprised that I discovered it so early. I wasn't even checking for it at the time, I just happened to notice something "off." So, if you need it, this is your sign to make sure you're familiar with your own body. Know what is "normal" for you and if you notice something is different, take action. Advocate for your own care, ask questions and demand answers.
I’m so sorry, I hope your doing better now.
Totally Agree about being your own advocate. I hope your doing well in remission 💗 I am a Breast Cancer survivor was diagnosed @37yrs old and was told my lump was nothing to worry about.
That's awful.
Also, I'd strongly recommend that if you have the money, there's a genetic test for the BRAC1 mutation. If you know whom you inherited it from, please ask other descendants and any kids you may have to get tested. All males included.
I'm sorry if this sounds callous, but too many good people have suffered greatly and their lives cut short by breast cancer. A test may save them a lot of pain.
Very similar to the story of my partner, although she was only 28 when it was diagnosed and it turned out that she had the genetic variant. But the common denominator is: If you feel something that shouldn't be their (be it as the person themself or even as the partner), go see a doctor and make sure it is being checked thoroughly. And if your partner tells you about something odd but isn't sure, insist that they go see a doctor and be supportive about it, tell them how much you care about their health!
Similar boat as you. 38 when diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer (Linitus Plástica). I live a very healthy lifestyle, never smoked, never even had a drop of alcohol. No real concern of cancer at this point in my life. Had weird symptoms for over a year. Thought it was ulcers or something but tests came back negative. Maybe some allergy to food. No real answers. Finally the symptoms were severe enough my wife got me in to a specialist to scope and biopsy me. When I woke up they said, we didn’t see anything unusual but your stomach is really mad, I’ll prescribe some antibiotics and you should be good in about 4 weeks. Then Monday I got the call. They found evidence of cancer. Immediately went to CT scans, and PET scans. Unfortunately my cancer is a “diffused cancer” so it’s not a single mass that can be removed. Best description I have is it’s like a glitter bomb went off inside my body. Anyway that makes it so it barely shows up on CT and PET scans until it’s gotten REALLY bad so many go undiagnosed even with the scans. Pretty much only a biopsy would find it. Because I’ve lived a healthy life I’ve been able to fight it for over a year and a half with chemo, stomach removal, and phase 1 trials. At one point we miraculously thought we beat it but it came back even more aggressive now spreading through my bones. It’s terminal and this time they gave me about 6-12 months back in September. I’m on month 7. We’ll see if I can keep beating the odds. I’m sure it will get me at some point and I’m already way past any expectations, but we keep fighting the good fight. My next goal is to make it to my 40th birthday on May 16th. I joke my over the hill turned out to be more of a cliff haha.
young person with cancer here who was diagnosed at 19. not only is it a problem that more young people are getting cancer, but it's a problem that we aren't being taken seriously by medical professionals. i was sent for repeat bloodtests for months and brushed off before finally being sent to a specialist. it took 6 months in total before i was diagnosed with stage 3 aggressive hodgkins lymphoma. i can only wonder if they'd have listened to me from the start if i wouldn't have gotten as sick and had to do as much chemotherapy.
that’s honestly my biggest fear. i’m not scared to have cancer, im scared that whatever I have has been ignored or dismissed by so many doctors over too long of a time that it won’t be treatable anymore.
Sorry you went through that, that's a long time cancer was given to grow
@@torijeri it definitely helps to have a friend or family member by your side to advocate for you. after my diagnosis my mom came with me to every treatment to make sure they didn't ignore me anymore. remember that you know your body best and fight like hell if people don't listen!
@@bammythegreat that’s a good idea thank you! I have a CT scan ordered, but my insurance isn’t approving it so it keeps being pushed off which is so annoying but at least my doctor is fighting them on it. Bare minimum.
i’m also so sorry you had to go through that. i hope you’re doing better now❤️
@@torijeri thanks so much! i finished 6 months of chemo and am in remission now :)
best wishes wish your ct scan, hope they get their stuff together and get you in soon
Fiance and I are 27, we just got done with finding out she does indeed NOT have colon cancer. She graduated with a DVM two years ago. Our lives frankly have just started. It was the scariest month of our life, waiting for appointments and results. Both of us are relatively healthy people with semi-active lifestyles. But that all goes out the window when you are possibly on the chopping block, yet it took weeks for her to decide to tell me and to escalate her situation to "seeing a doctor." The pride is real, but you only get one life, make sure it's taken care of whenever you feel a hint of something being wrong.
Get yourselves checked people.
As someone who was diagnosed with colon cancer when I was 17 (i'm turning 35), it saddens me that cancer is more common at younger ages. It was pure luck that I my cancer was discovered since it was discovered after I had reaccuring blood coming while emptying my bowels. I was cancer free at roughly 18 years old, missed a ton of school and it sucked. Hope no one else has to go through it all
Lawyer here: I can't believe the 4 appeal judges came to that verdict. If it was the 18th century where law wasn't a web of jurisprudence and established precedence then sure, it makes sense. But to argue originalism/constitutionalism on an SA charge is baffling. We've had the legal precedence of "establishing characteristics" for over 100 years and to disregard that as a mistrial is baffling.
You know what it is, "money makes the world go round." - Brad jordan
Been a while since I opened ROE or my crimpro textbook but my first thought was that character witnesses against the defendant are barred unless its to prove a conspiracy charge in criminal cases. I know the immediate reaction is ofcourse against the judges byt my first thought was this was a bad slip up by the prosecution which now results in this. I don't anyone is denying Weinstein's guilt but now DA's office is going to cost tax payers another couple dollar bills to retry this case.

We also have an established precedence of not allowing propensity evidence to prejudice a jury, no? IDK what questions were asked, but it sounds like the prosecutor may have went too close to that line when interviewing these witnesses. If their testimony was just them alleging the same crime happened to them but it's not part of the charges, I have no idea how that could possibly be admissible in court. You're also twisting the wording, it's not establishing "characteristics", something objective or habitual that could be admissible, it's general "character" evidence, and a quick Google shows me no sources which claim this is generally admissible in court, they all claim quite the opposite.
Not trying to doubt your understanding here, but Occam's Razor prompts the following: What's more likely, that the 4 judges are corrupt or have a bad understanding of the law -OR- that you're not understanding the facts of the case or the scope of the testimonies involved?
Not trying to be a dick, but I'm surprised a lawyer is coming out and implying all these judges involved were stupid or biased is quite surprising. And also surprising to see one claim that it's weird to say propensity evidence is inadmissible seeing as it was recently a significant crux in the Rittenhouse case that confused a lot of progressives.
"You were on trial for the horrible things you did to THESE people and not the horrible things you did to THOSE people so despite them being the same horrible things you get a retrial."
Seriously...
Unironically, yes. You dont have to like it but its legally necessary that the jury isnt biased by accusations not contextually pertinent to the actual case. Had the prosecution just waited for the other victims to come forward publicly, theres a good chance they could have used them in the case. But they were over zealous and broke the standard rules for evidence admission.
And thats important bc it means this over turning is legally justifiable. You dont want to set the precedent that you can skirt around the rules like that bc then you jeopardize every other case and raise the odds of false convictions. Its lose lose
I know it’s frustrating in this specific circumstance, but the ability to appeal and get a retrial no matter what charge/state is incredibly important to our justice system and protecting innocent people. A lawyer, prosecutor, judge, witness, cop, detective, etc etc etc, making a mistake big or small should not be able participate in a conviction of anyone. The real frustration here is that the prosecutors in this extremely high profile case with the amount of resources THEY had in this trial would make such an obtuse error. Especially given the defendants ability to finance any appeal they could find. They could have taken years to create a perfect case but they didn’t. So incredibly sad for the victims in this human dumpsters fire.
@@Runthemjewels💯💯
@@Runthemjewels "accusations not contextually pertinent" normally revolve around other possible crimes. You can't suddenly start accusing Weinstein of fraus or money laundring but if the accusation is relean tot he actual case then it should be admissable.

As someone who’s lost my father to colon and lung cancer this February and who’s watched my younger brother just beat colon cancer himself this story hit hard. My brother found out he had stage four after going to the doctor’s office for a stomach ache. I’ve been trying to find free cancer screening in my area due to the fact that health insurance in this country will bankrupt me. My hope is that the issue with the raise of cancer is found soon.
Hey, Phil? What was with that ending? "If this is the last time we see each other"? Why do I feel so concerned?
My BIL died of colorectal cancer a year and a half ago at the age of 39. When he was diagnosed at 37, the doctor figured he’d had cancer for eight years. He was stage four at diagnosis. It took years for him to get a basic colonoscopy because of his age. Despite the fact that his mother died of colorectal cancer before the age of 70. His identical twin got screened after his diagnosis and was able to have polyps removed that would likely become cancerous.
Taking care of my sister and niece through the loss of my BIL for the last three year’s been hard. Real hard.
Please advocate for yourself to get screened if you have risk factors.
I had a really similar situation except I'm the first person to get cancer and tested negative for this gene (FAP). I was diagnosed last month with stage 4 colorectal cancer.
As a young person with colon cancer I can say dont ignore your symptoms! I had a different bowel movements months on end and brushed it off until I couldn't ignore it anymore. All original tests came back negative and I finally went to a gi doc. There after a colonoscopy they found a 2.5 cm polyp that came back positive for stage 2 cancer. In grateful for all the doc involved that didn't brush off my symptoms and listened to me.
Do you mind me asking what were your symptoms? I had some bleeding about a month ago that stopped in a few hours, but yesterday saw one single drop after a partially constipated poo so now my anxiety is back that it could possibly be it.
Don’t have any other symptoms but still, I’ve suffered anxiety surrounding cancer my whole life.
@@TheRunningLeopard Go get checked by a doctor. Comparing symptoms with someone on the internet won't help you.
@@TheRunningLeopard If your bowel movements are changing for no discernible reason and if there's blood present, you should see a doctor about it. Colon cancer often doesn't have symptoms so that makes it scary. Bleeding is generally a cause of concern but if you have a bit of blood from constipation, that makes sense. The most common cause is hemorrhoids. You'd need to see a doctor for a physical exam. Constipation itself is an issue too. I'd recommend more water if you're not hydrated enough, and a daily fiber supplement like metamucil over a few weeks to see if that helps. If it doesn't help, definitely see a doctor. It doesn't hurt to request a colonoscopy if you're worried about colon cancer.

On the whole Cancer thing, my stepmother has been recently diagnosed with a rare form of Ovarian cancer at stage 3. She is only 39. She has been having health problems for years, but her pain manifested around her gut. And no matter what scan was done, what was probably the early stages of cancer were not found. It wasn't till the pain got so bad she went to the ER and a doctor did a scan on her uterus and found 2 tumors. It's crazy how long cancer diagnosis can be ignored in young people, especially when it isn't showing its usual symptoms. I think it's awesome you talked about this on the show and it taught me something new about this specific rise of cancer.
Hey Phil, my mom works in leadership for the ACS in Thurston County, Washington State. We've been getting a real time look into people in the community getting cancer. It's heartbreaking. My mom becomes friends with many of these people only to watch them and their loved ones develop cancer too. My mom goes on to talk about how devastating it is putting in all this hard work for ACS and feeling like nothing is working. Luckily my mom is a breast cancer survivor so she knows how important it is to be steadfast and keep trying no matter how bleak things get. There isn't really a broader point here, mostly just wanted to give some insight from the normies working at the community level.
I was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer at 38 with no family history of it. Honestly, I’ve stopped asking why this is happening to me, because of the mental toll it was taking. Be healthy, live now, and stop wasting energy on shit that doesn’t matter. Facing my mortality just opened my eyes to what really matters.
Be well.

What an insane thing to use to overturn a verdict. This guy was _too guilty_ and it unfairly made the jury think he was as guilty as he actually was!
"He's too guilty" annnnd there in lies the problem. Many of the victims were not ever going to have trials of their own but them alleging crimes through their testimony for those that were not on trial and never will be implies those allegations are true.
You can't have an alleged theif on trial, have the testimony of the home owner who he alleges robbed, then bring in a second home owner who claims he also robbed their house but never filed charges or an investigations. It goes against innocent until proven guilty.
@@BioshadowXYou're right; however, this is something that is valid when presenting to a jury that the defendant has a history of allegations and controversy on the matter, which shows a pattern of behavior of one kind or another. This is no different than reducing the credibility of a witness and their testimony being suspect by showing a history of deceptive practices. It's a grey area that courts have played fast and loose with, for better and worse.
That’s on the prosecution. You can’t be found guilty based on accusations and testimony unrelated to the charge. These are professional lawyers. They should’ve done better to secure a conviction that would not come back on appeal.
@@magustobias8827 We've seen the shift to 'believe all allegations without fail or you're (insert insult here). Look at Vic Mignogna. Only his career was ruined. On "a decade of rumours, 100s said he did x y z, everyone knows.....'. The actual evidence? He propositioned a co-worker at a con who said no, he accepted that answer. But gasp, he was engaged and a practisiing Christian so how dare he'? He didn't do a darn thing and his co-workers, at the time basically running the company were professionally jealous so went after his career and succeeded. We cannot convict by stacking the deck with multiple 'he said she said' and claim 'pattern'.
Reminds me of Roman laws on what constitutes slander. In that the logic is the absolute opposite, so actually sensible.
I'm 34 and I was diagnosed last month with stage 4 metastatic colorectal cancer. It's in my liver and lymph nodes. My chances of surviving... aren't good, but my oncologist thinks there's a chance so we're fighting it. I attributed my symptoms as likely minor health issues because I was otherwise totally healthy- until the severe pain came on. Mine is genetic but with better testing, it could have been prevented years ago. I participated in a clinical trial by donating blood so they could improve testing a couple weeks ago. My oncologist had mentioned to me that there's been an increase in younger cancer patients lately and that they don't know why so it sparked my interest when you started talking about it.
I appreciate the segment on Cancer. My little sister was diagnosed with a rare form of Leukemia called AML. She went to the ER on 4/10 and passed away on 4/18. She was only 32. It was a huge shock for us and was super healthy, Definitely more than everyone in our family. Cancer is no longer a old thing. We all need to regularly get checked.
I work at UT Austin and the protestors were incredibly peaceful the entire time. There was no rioting or damage to property just descending opinions. The police and DPS were the aggressors and made everyone feel unsafe.
*dissenting opinions
Thank you for sharing that. It's sometimes the only thing that'll combat the constant refrain of "they must have been violent."
I know people there who said that violent rhetoric was repeatedly spewed...
At Columbia college in New York, they threw water at the Jewish students, & chanted antisemitic chants at them.
Can't blame the police after all the bullshit and violence coming from the free Palestine crowd.
USC student here, with friends at UT. I heard the same thing. Police are almost always the aggressors at these protests, and that was certainly the case at UT and USC. I hope you're safe and well!
Can we talk about Abbot signed a freedom of speech bill on college campuses in TX?! Where was that when they broke up these protests?
It only applies to republicans. “Rules for thee not for me” mindset an all that
“Free Speech for Me but Not for Thee”
Exactly, if it was a campus protest about being pro-life it wouldn't matter what they said or imagery it used, Abbot would have been fine with it because he'd agree with the premise.
Also like my university has had our main quad occupied by protestors with tents for a few days now but you really haven’t heard much about it on the news. There were a few arrests but nothing close to what’s going on in other states. At Umich we did have a large group get into the president’s office which you would expect to see on the news. Either way Michigan governor is sane and would never do this.
They only want free speech when it's in support of tyranny
Phil, you're not a monster for bringing up the cancer piece, but you ARE one for making it the last segment of the show so now I have no sound to distract me from the alarm bells ringing in my head. Thank you for that.
thank you for covering the recent cancer trends. I have been familiar with cancer my whole life, as my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer at 35, brain cancer at 50, and colorectal cancer at age 53. It has been a scary ride, but she is still here with us and is cancer free! I have to get preventative screenings done when I am 10 years younger than my mom was when she was diagnosed with breast and colorectal cancer (I had a mamogram when I was 25, and am now getting an MRI just so they can be extra sure, and I'll need a colonoscopy when I am age 40.... thanks mom!) there is definitely something about the world we live in today that is causing this increase.... as a millennial, it's hard not to feel a "learned helplessness" apathy about it all...
Being told to go the doctor while you are young and healthy is hilarious in a country where a lot of young people can't afford health insurance, let alone a doctor bill for a health concern that can be deemed mild. I didn't have health insurance for many years and even now that I do, it's still expensive. I went to urgent care for strep throat and after my copay I still had to pay over $100 more because I hadn't hit my deductible. Even making $10/hr that's multiple days of work to pay for that, not including the time taken off. Our healthcare is ridiculous.
Phil scaring us over the cancer stuff then saying 'if this is the last time I see you' is not what I would call a comforting combination
Hey Phil, another factor in misdiagnosing younger cancer patients is Drs who wont pursue the possibility of cancer. My sister in law went to the doctor several times over the course of a year complaining of breast pain and was brushed off. When she finally got an appointment to see another doctor for a second opinion, it was stage 3. She was 24 at the time
A few years ago, a peer of mine under 30 passed away from an aggressive breast cancer, about a year after diagnosis. One of my friends who is in her early 30's just posted about a cancer diagnosis that lead to a double mastectomy and chemo. So scary.
The problem with going to the doctor as a young person (millennial here, so relatively young), is how much symptoms are downplayed. "You're young and healthy, that chronic pain you're feeling in your leg is just in your head."
My stuff is nothing compared to the absolute bull my wife went through for 27 years before she finally got an EDS diagnosis. It's hard to have faith in a system that constantly lets you down.
And I bet her charts has some heinous notes from her past doctors about it all being in her head, or that she needs to exercise more (something that is detrimental to an EDS patient if done improperly like high impact sports).
I don't even have EDS, but I follow several women on SocMeds that were dislocating their joints regularly, or sometimes couldn't walk without support but still struggled to get a doctor to listen. Glad your wife got her diagnosis!
@@Greenteabook yep, it took her dislocating her shoulder completely in her sleep a few years ago before doctors started to consider that eds may be a possibility.
Now, while I say all this, there are some great Doctors out there.
So I’m a medical student & the amount of young people w/ colon cancer i’ve seen is absolutely nuts. There is nothing more bizarre than learning statistically “most common” age presentations & then seeing what seems like sooooo many early aged outliers. Seems like an accelerating problem & its terrifying because we have no idea what is going on.
There aren’t a lot of things worse than seeing a relatively young person’s face when we tell them they have cancer. The worst is when they ask “why me” & “what did i do wrong”
Just like with asbestos and other common cancer causing things like it, someone is getting paid well to shut up about some commonly used product that causes cancer. Wonder what it's going to be this time.
my mom has been fighting stage 4 cancer for almost 3 years and watching her over the past few years has been heartbreaking. diagnosed at stage 4 as her type of cancer doesn't show typically until its bad. i dont wish cancer on anyone. please take care of yourself and get things checked early if you find something odd or different with your body. you are your own biggest advocate when it comes to your health.
As someone who has cancer, it is true: get screened early. I knew cancer was an inevitability in my family (thanks DAD!) so around 30, I spoke with my PCP about screenings. I got annual blood panels, thyroid ultrasounds, and all the fun stuff. We figured it's probably going to be my thyroid, but it's not gonna happen until I'm in my 50s.
...It's fucking skin cancer. The tumor was on the arch of my foot. And we still don't know for sure what stage I have. It's at least stage 2, could be stage 3. The amount of emotional labor that has been dealing with the referrals and diagnostics is ridiculous. And family had the audacity to say "I'm really difficult to live with right now."
I'm fucking tired.
So get tested at your annual physical, if you catch it early, the sooner you can get healthy again.
Im sorry for what your family has said to you, you got this.
the problem is with professionals brushing young people off and not taking cancer concerns seriously
Hope you have a better road to remission than what’s happening now. You can do it❤!
One day at a time - and definitely do not prioritize people who are not prioritizing your health
My skin cancer was on my fucking face and it still took forever to get the "right" referral. Thanks also to family history. And it's like some kind of achievement unlocked bullshit to get all the meds and stuff approved that your doctor says you need, but your insurance company wants to deny.
My piece of advice is that you should find out where your good veins are right now. One vein for blood draws, and one for an infusion needle. Especially if you end up on Keytruda.
I wish you the best.
I go to Emerson college and I was at the protest last night. Two students were hospitalized and many more were hurts. I know multiple people with injuries including things such as concussions, bruises, cuts across their face. No police officers were hurt. They continuously taunted the protestors after they arrested the 108 students. The news coverage is wrong. It was a brutal beatdown.
It was a “chaotic incident”.
Emerson is a private university and can arrest ppl based on trespassing on their property. The 1st amendment would not apply on private property
@@LouSassle-zv1zo ... there's arresting people then there's repeatedly tasing someone in the leg who's handcuffed lying on the ground. Yes I saw the video.
I have a family history of breast cancer, my mom had it at 32, and I had to fight tooth and nail to get early screenings approved by insurance. Something that takes time, money, willpower, and patience, which many younger people do not have in abundance, assuming they have insurance at all. These screenings aren't free and you can't just walk in somewhere and get them. Just another example of why we really need health care reform ASAP.
Hey Phil! I really loved the segment on cancer at the end! Last year I was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer at just 26 years old. I found the lump in my breast in January and didn’t get a mammogram until April when I was taken to the emergency room for my symptoms and ended up staying at the hospital for a week. It took them that whole week just to figure out why I had been so sick for months. I was even supposed to get a mammogram before all of that but never got a call to schedule it. To this day, I firmly believe they didn’t take it seriously because of my age. Thankfully I’m doing ok now but I’m just of the mindset that tests for ANY of these cancers should be done as EARLY as possible. I just think the 40-55 range is too long to wait. Call me paranoid but I just don’t want anyone else in their 20s to end up with an aggressive late stage cancer that could have been caught and treated way earlier.
I've taught in high-poverty schools my entire career, and people need to realize that even the best intentions end up terrible in practice when you don't provide the funding.
When the Obama Administration started their healthy-lunch guidelines, impoverished children did not get better food; they got LESS food. I'm talking, a tiny drumstick, an apple, and baked beans (for teenagers).
My kids were starving, and I faced a threat of being fired for years for providing food, which is against healthy lunch rules in schools with 90%+ free-lunch rates.
It also really didn't even make food any better.Considering ketchup can be considered a f****** vegetable serving and the d*** pizza that they could still serve.I remember school's literally have these big like gallon cans.I don't know if they were actually gallons, but they were huge.And the pizza was pre-made in the f******Can I had never seen?Canned pizza what the hell!!!
I am just so sick and tired of any pro-Palestinian sentiment being labeled as anti-Semitic. There are absolutely some people in the movement who are anti-Semitic and I hate them, but the majority of people have nothing against Jews, just the government of Israel and I think it’s a bit anti-Semitic in itself to conflate the two.
When the organization doesn't self purge those extremeists, their voices DO speak for you.
Bring anti-Israel is anti-Semitic. If the Arabs lay down their arms, there is peace. If the Jews lay down their arms, they cease to exist.
Also there is quite a number of Jewish supporters that are among those at the college protests that have spoken out saying that the protests don't make them feel unsafe, despite what the media is putting out. The media is working hard to demonise everyone at those protests.
@@alyshakingSorry, but the vast majority of Jewish students feel unsafe at college and have left. Just because there are tokenized Jews, like JVP, doesn't disprove anything.
Just because you don't understand why much of it is antisemitic doesn't mean it's not. And if you're not Jewish, it's not for you to decide.
This applies to both the anti anti-competition-clause regulation yesterday and today's flight delay regulation, but I'm always glad to see the US catching up with the EU when it comes to trying to protect the consumer/every-man. Wishing y'all to continue on this less capital-centered trajectory.
Totally thought the lead in to the airline refund rules story was an intro for a seatgeek ad haha!
It took over 30 years for me to self diagnose myself. I have been medically gaslit my entire life due to my weight. I was told time and time again all my issues were weight related or just in my head. Turns out I have an insanely painful, incurable, genetic disease. My last doc fought me and refused to give me a referral to the necessary doctor. She googled the disease but somehow didn't realize there's multiple types with vastly different symptoms. Once I got a new doc, she gave me a referral. I scored 9/9 on the test for Hyperflexible Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. I've received 5 different diagnoses since finding a doc who believes me. The EDS explains 95% of the issues I've had since infancy. I have been adament for over a decade that my issues are connected somehow, but that it wasn't my weight. I knew there was *something* wrong with me. Exercise would hurt because I was physically damaging my joints and muscles due to faulty connective tissues. My joints hyperextend, so my muscles have to work overtime to keep my body stable. However, the tissues that hold muscles together and contect them to my bones/joints are damaged, causing them to literally tear themselves apart from over exertion. I was labeled a lazy drug seeker as a result, that i just had to build up my tolerance and that exercise was supposed to hurt. They refused to acknowledge that I *knew* something was physically wrong with my body. Very rarely do I meet a doctor who truly understands my condition.
I’ve been in pain since I was 5yo. Being an 80s kid and a boy, I was told my entire life to suck it up. 40 years later, they found a genetic heart condition and I had emergency open heart surgery when I was on the verge of dying. Even the Mayo Clinic blew me off ten years ago. My heart surgery didn’t resolve my symptoms, but it kept me alive, and at least now I know what’s going on with my body. 40 years later, but better late than never!
You don’t have to exercise to lose weight. Just stop eating so much fatty.
That sucks, but you should lose weight though. Being discriminated against is never ok and experienced it. It is undeniable that being overweight is a huge disservice to your body and overall quality of life.
@@blaze556922what's the point of your reply? Because only if your point is to bully then you hit the mark.. if it's anything genuinely nice then you missed completely.

A couple of months ago I lost a friend to breast cancer which returned after a period of remission. She was 45 when she died, it's a bit surreal to hear that's considered a young age for diagnosis when that was the end for her.
As for younger people taking their health issues more seriously- we need doctors to stop dismissing younger people's health issues for that to be conceivable. When you're sick, you don't always have the energy, time, money, or ability to continually bring up issues after having them repeatedly brushed off by those whose job it is to care about them.
I'm 35 next month and dealing with a lot of chronic health issues but it's been less than a decade of being able to get those issues taken seriously. I sobbed the day I met my current primary doctor because I was so desperate to not be dismissed that it was panic-inducing. Thankfully he's smarter than that and referred me out to a specialist immediately but I have friends with more measurable health issues that are still being dismissed at every turn.
As long as younger people are presumed to be healthy based on age by medical professionals, we will fail at preventative healthcare and early intervention.
I'm sorry for your loss. My mother died of a supposed heart attack at 54, which was considered young for such heart conditions in a non-smoker and average-sized woman. The symptoms for females are also so different from those of males that neither of us would have ever thought of it; she just seemed like she was coming down with a bad cold. The next morning, she was dead.
We need to make society as a whole more aware of how symptoms differ wildly depending on age and sex, especially for the less-common conditions within a demographic. That way we can be aware enough to react appropriately and insist that reluctant doctors do the same. Knowledge like that is free. It may cost money to spread, but it's well worth it given how many lives it can save.
My best friend goes to UT austin and he said that they were protesting for not only the freedom of Palestine, but also for the rights of students at Columbia and around the country to be able to express themselves with protest
Phil! You can't just say "if this is the last time I see you" and not expect me to have a mini panic attack! What the heck man!
A case being overturned for having TOO much evidence?! WHAT?!
The lawyer's quote "this is a win for the criminal defendanta everywhere" sums up the whole thing perfectly
its not ab the evidence, the testimonies provided too many *allegations* without physical evidence. it doesnt make it make anymore sense but that was the basis it seems. it was deemed a mistrial because there was no way to give a man who’s dead-to-rights guilty a fair trial 😂 judges prob got all paid off
Wrong
You guys are sadly Naive to how things work and why that work that way
@@squibbelsmcjohnson simply telling someone they’re wrong does not bridge the gap of knowledge you point out here. if you happen to know context apparently not readable within a comment, i suggest in the future you reply with that context instead.
idk about any other sexual violence victims here but the harvey weinstein overturning makes me want to not be on this planet anymore. The fact that you can rape so many women that your case can be overturned is just a reminder that the system was never meant to protect victims. I hate being a woman everyday of my life but especially today. My heart is heavy for all of those whose lives have been ruined by that pathetic excuse of a human being
It’s sick his reason is because he actually raped way more women than he’s being charged for
Yeah this one hit me pretty hard and I wasn't expecting it to. My sister and I have both separately experienced sexual violence (my sister's case was actually so bad it was reported on our local news) but we both haven't pressed charges for a variety of reasons but mostly that we couldn't handle reliving it in such precise detail. I thought Weinstein was locked away for life with all of the evidence against him, but no.
I hope you're doing ok though, this was really tough news to hear and it really fucking sucks
Wtf, claiming this is systemic is insane and really illustrates how much you don't understand about what happened here.
Propensity evidence is never allowed, you can't just parade a bunch of women through the court making allegations and use this to try and establish character. This has NEVER been allowed. Google it ffs. The fact that it was even allowed to happen is bat-shit crazy, and I can only imagine it happened because of the social pressure in the wake of the metoo movement. This would NEVER be allowed in normal circumstances. You cannot bring people in to give character testimony for a criminal trial to prejudice the jury.
Weinstein is a piece of shit rapist monster, but he has rights. In a civilized society we can't just pretend he doesn't have the same rights as everybody else because we dislike him.
Hopefully, these studies on cancer will get insurance companies to start covering exams for younger people. I have been dealing with an issue that anyone over 45 would immediately be told to "get a mammogram." Because I am under 40, insurance won't cover any procedures outside of a standard physical exam. I can't afford the imaging services without insurance, so I just have to hope it is nothing. It is so scary.
My father passed away over a decade ago from colorectal cancer at 50 years old. Because of that, and some symptoms, I started getting colonoscopies at 25 (I’m 37 now). I’ve since had 3 and one sigmoidoscopy and had one large polyp removed. Early screening is so important. I’ve encouraged everyone in my life to screen early with any symptoms. The procedure is quick. (The prep is hell) For men a family history of cervical cancer in women is also an increased risk factor for colorectal cancer! Stay safe get screened!
I was diagnosed with colon cancer in February of last year. The November before that, I had so much pain in the spot where the large intestine meets the small intestine that I went to the hospital where they found Diverticulitis. A colonoscopy is a routine procedure for that. The doctor couldn't even fit the camera through where the tumor was. It blocked my entire colon. I had stage 2 cancer and it was SCARILY close to stage three.
Every doctor who heard about this was surprised. I was 32 when they caught it. The common follow-up question was if it ran in my family, which it didn't. Since then I had a genealogist check my DNA to see if there were any signs and they found nothing. I had colon cancer that nearly ruined my life from the medical bills to the months it took to recover from the surgery and nobody knows how I got it. Even the low probability they say I have of it coming back is only so much of a comfort because I had a near zero percent chance of having it in the first place. Some people suggested my diet which is the usual default for most medical issues it seems. Still, the genealogist says that unless I'm eating radiation, there'd be no chance of anything in my diet causing the colon cancer.
I just had my year after colonoscopy to check things and there was still a pollop that was found, even after a foot of my colon was taken out (Diverticulitis and all). How can I expect to feel freed from the fear of some random cancer appearing when we don't even know what caused it? I only hope I remain clean when I go to my next colonoscopy three years from now. Meanwhile, I've had over $10,000 in debt and a lost job over this supposed fluke.
i have a feeling its alot like cigarettes in th 20th century and whoever is responsible for the cause is paying to keep it under wraps, and with the trends not being exclusive to the US, but also in the UK, where food regulations are pretty decent, my money is on plastics.
The fear that it will come back never goes away. But know that this random stranger on the internet is glad you survived. I hope you recover more normalcy in your life and that you can find some way to get those debts erased. Fuck medical debt and fuck the for profit US healthcare system.
That is crazy. I know Cancer is just a mutation of cells that basically rapidly grow. So it could be just genetic or your body has the mutation. Cancer is one of those weird ass diseases that honestly based on how our bodies normally grow cells is fascinating how it all works. I am really glad they caught it when they did for you. Sad to hear a pollop is still there. But hopefully it's benign.
@@NSDCTwitch Yeah, cancer can hit everyone. And yes, there are people that are more predisposed to cancer, but no one is absolutely safe. It can just happen, a hiccup in a single cell of your genetic strand. And well, the more we know about cancer, the more cancer patients will be found. In older generations people just died. Today the cancer can be screened for, searched for.
Also for some it can be something weird like meds your mom took while pregnant. In my family, my grandma took contergan while pregnant with my mom (it was advised as a sleep-help for pregnant women) and while she wasn't born with the deformities that are so often associated with that, there were consequences. Consequences she passed down to us. Stuff we only learned about when I was 16 and the window to fix it long closed. I don't have kids, but if I were to procreate, I would have a 90 percent chance to bass on said consequences (which are stiffened and deformed bones in my spine which mean I have constant back pain).
And well, I see the pictures of my mom's generation, my grandmoms and think about all the fucking things they didn't know, that were normal and I do remember, that in every chain, there is always a patient zero.
I’m part of that last story about cancer. Under 40 years old and have been fighting a rare stage 4 stomach cancer for almost 2 years now (Linitus Plástica). I had symptoms for well over a year but it’s so hard to diagnose. If it wasn’t for my wife finding me a specialist and getting me in so fast I would be dead right now. When I was first diagnosed and it was considered terminal I figured I had 3 months to live maybe. Then the chemo worked. I’m young really healthy have many ever smoked, had a drop of alcohol, and still would take half a dose of ibuprofen max as the hardest drugs I ever consumed haha. All that gave me a fighting chance. I ended up qualifying for stomach removal and after that miraculously had no sign of disease anymore. Then after about 6 months of relearning to eat with my newly rerouted gastric system the cancer came back VERY aggressively. They gave me 6 months, maybe 12 if things go REALLY well. I’m almost at 6 months and definitely overall on the decline, BUT I will tell you there is SO much hope for effective cancer treatments. It’s gnarly to say the least, but because of my situation being terminal I qualify for “phase 1 trials” meaning this is the first time humans are receiving these treatments. And let me tell you there is some amazing tech with advancements in AI testing and so many other things the future for cancer treatment is bright and I’m glad that while I likely won’t be here much longer I can help push that research forward so the next person has a better chance. Someone else did that for me so I could live as long as I have and I’m so grateful for that. Also the medical staff of nurses, oncologists, surgeons, etc working with cancer patients are some of the best people I have ever met. Cancer is dark and scary, but the people bring so much light and hope so don’t get too discouraged or afraid.
The changes to flight rules sound amazing. I've had flights delayed for hours and eventually cancelled on me so many times! Glad to know that i will get compensated for that inconvenience in the future
Speaking on the cancer story, at 25 I was just diagnosed with thyroid cancer. I was lucky a doctor saw the blood tests I had taken for an unrelated thing and thought of asking me to get an echography of my thyroid. From what I've heard thyroid cancer has been on the rise too. Speaking with another doctor, he anecdotally told me how after his daughter's friend got diagnosed with thyroid cancer, his daughter and the rest of her friends group decided to get checked, and several of them ended up also having cancer.
Thank you for covering the young people getting cancer story. I lost my good friend to cervical cancer last year before her 35th birthday. I was shocked that someone so young would get something like that. She was healthy and everything, she was gonna get her master's in biology. I miss her so much. I don't know if cervical cancer is in this but it's still shocking that someone in their 30s would die from cancer at all, no matter what kind of cancer it is. RIP Brandi
I lost my childhood friend at 30 to lung cancer. She never smoked. RIP Simone

I wish the ruling for airlines would have been there when I was stuck in the Dallas Fort Worth airport for 2 and and a half days. American Airlines only paid for one of the night for a hotel. Had to sleep in the airport on a terrible bench seat. Would have been nice to have had a few dollars refunded to get a hotel the second night.
"It this happens to be the last time" PHIL WHAT 😢
DON'T SCARE ME!
Ever since I lost my mother to early onset ovarian cancer I've been terrified of having something like that happen to me. I've had to be screened for things a number of times since then, thankfully even with the covid slowdown in recent years they still see possible cancer patients very quickly. I worry that my reluctance to be that pushy patient asking for tests that may not be necessary is going to stop me from being diagnosed in time if I do get it, because I already have the symptoms of ovarian cancer from other conditions.

They took blood last year and again this year, and will continue to do so for several years. They actually pay me to do it, so I didn't tell them that I would definitely do it for free if it means no more colonoscopies!

I go to UT. I was there. It was horrifying to see the military response to a peaceful protest. Not 6 months ago did UT have a "free speech week" in which they welcome members of the pubic (specifically non-ut affiliated) to come protest on campus. Also, almost everyone with us at the protest yesterday and today were ut students, faculty, staff, etc.
So ppl shouldn’t get charged for trespassing? Freedom to protest does not mean freedom to break laws.
Money money money!! Keep fighting these monsters who want to frighten you for telling the truth!!
@@NeonJ1 Its an open campus. The people arrested were UT affiliated, and the charges were dismissed. They did not tresspass.
Jameelah Jones on TIkTok explained there are 3 types of protests historically the government has and will bring its full weight on to try and stop: Labor, Black civil rights and anti-war, and "protesting the genocide in Palestine is actually all 3 of those combined". So use that knowledge and your own experience to be aware just how far the system will go to silence you.

I was diagnosed with cancer in my early 40’s. I had a tumour that has only had 300 reported cases & I have to see a cancer specialist every 3 months to ensure it hasn’t comeback after surgery. It’s been a long process to stay healthy & get proper care.
