Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: This is HBR News number 574. France burns as student
- 0:07Speaker 1: protests persist. We discuss the news of the week and
- 0:11Speaker 1: give it the badger treatment. Hello everybody and welcome back
- 0:20Speaker 1: to Honey Badger Radio. I hope you guys are doing
- 0:22Speaker 1: well this week and that you are laughing at all
- 0:24Speaker 1: this absurdity so that you are not consumed by it.
- 0:26Speaker 1: I'm your host Brian and I'm joined by, as always,
- 0:29Speaker 1: my lovely co-host Hannah Wallin and.
- 0:32Speaker 2: Dr. Ranamercam, and Mike Stevenson as well.
- 0:35Speaker 3: Josh and Mitch. We're all here.
- 0:38Speaker 2: We're all here.
- 0:39Speaker 4: I'm not here.
- 0:41Speaker 2: You're not all here.
- 0:42Speaker 4: I'm not all here.
- 0:46Speaker 1: Anyway, we have a great show lined up for you
- 0:47Speaker 1: guys today, so please be sure to continue the conversations
- 0:49Speaker 1: both in the chat as well as the comments section.
- 0:52Speaker 1: On this week's HBR News, we're going to be talking about, well,
- 0:55Speaker 1: there's still stuff going on sort of around the Cornell
- 0:58Speaker 1: 7 case.
- 0:59Speaker 2: Basically, women.
- 1:01Speaker 1: a woman in particular, has come forward who is an
- 1:04Speaker 1: alumni from Cornell University. And she also has a sordid
- 1:09Speaker 1: tale to tell about her own experience. And of course,
- 1:13Speaker 1: we just have to believe her whole cloth. So, because
- 1:15Speaker 1: that's the way things work now. Paris is on fire again.
- 1:19Speaker 1: And a scientist beats allegations and gets a pretty decent
- 1:24Speaker 1: payday and more. So stick around. It's going to be
- 1:27Speaker 1: a good time. Be sure to stay for the last
- 1:29Speaker 1: one because it's actually like, Pretty good.
- 1:31Speaker 2: Pretty good news.
- 1:32Speaker 1: And be sure to join us afterwards for the patron-only show.
- 1:35Speaker 1: So I got this article from Medium. And this is
- 1:38Speaker 1: kind of like in line with the stuff that Allison
- 1:41Speaker 1: and I have been going through where she's looking at
- 1:45Speaker 1: like essentially male feminists and discovering that feminists hate them maybe.
- 1:51Speaker 2: More than like regular men.
- 1:54Speaker 1: And so we have this article from Medium saying, entitled
- 1:59Speaker 1: by Suze Success K.
- 2:01Speaker 2: Victor. I don't know.
- 2:02Speaker 1: It's for something called Bitchy. So I think that we
- 2:07Speaker 1: can kind of extrapolate from that what the tone of
- 2:10Speaker 1: this is. And it's entitled The Hate and Anger in
- 2:13Speaker 1: a Left-Wing Man's Chat Stunned Me. If you think anti-feminism
- 2:18Speaker 1: is a far-right issue, you're dead wrong. So we're going
- 2:21Speaker 1: to find out exactly what her grievance is. And I'm
- 2:24Speaker 1: assuming this is a woman. I should probably ask. This
- 2:26Speaker 1: is not her. This is some stock footage. A stock photograph. And, yeah,
- 2:32Speaker 1: but if you guys want to join us for that,
- 2:34Speaker 1: you have to become a Badger yourself by going to FeedTheBadger.com.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Five bucks a month will get you into the Discord
- 2:39Speaker 1: server where you'll be able to watch all of the
- 2:42Speaker 1: additional content, like all of our patron content, as well
- 2:45Speaker 1: as partake in all of this sort of like extracurricular
- 2:48Speaker 1: activities that the community gets up to.
- 2:50Speaker 2: There are movie nights. There are game nights.
- 2:51Speaker 1: There's, you know, we play Repo on occasion. especially when
- 2:56Speaker 1: we stream it. But Allison plays it a lot, even
- 2:58Speaker 1: when it's not being streamed. So there's always something going
- 3:02Speaker 1: on there. And it's also just a relatively chill community
- 3:07Speaker 1: that's probably full of good people because they believe what
- 3:11Speaker 1: we believe, that it's okay to blame women for stuff
- 3:15Speaker 1: when women are wrong. So if you guys want.
- 3:17Speaker 3: To blame women.
- 3:19Speaker 5: You may wonder, what the hell is a left-wing men's advocate?
- 3:23Speaker 5: We used to have those back in the day. I
- 3:26Speaker 5: used to be.
- 3:28Speaker 1: One of them.
- 3:29Speaker 5: Before this all cleared up, there were some men's rights
- 3:36Speaker 5: advocates who still clung to the left wing.
- 3:39Speaker 3: It's bizarre, I know.
- 3:40Speaker 2: They still exist. Warren Farrell is one. I get it.
- 3:44Speaker 2: They want to fix it from the inside. Are we sure.
- 3:47Speaker 4: He's still on the left at this point? Like, I
- 3:52Speaker 4: know he was, but are we sure he's still a leftist?
- 3:55Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I didn't interview him yet myself, but I
- 3:59Speaker 1: talked to him when he appeared on Paul's show, and
- 4:03Speaker 1: I didn't say, are you a leftist? But he's still
- 4:06Speaker 1: a Democrat. Died in the wall, you know, it's not
- 4:09Speaker 1: going to change. Which is essentially the left party in
- 4:12Speaker 1: the United States. It's not as far left as European
- 4:15Speaker 1: groups are, but the point is that there are still
- 4:18Speaker 1: plenty of MRAs that are more on the left. And again,
- 4:24Speaker 1: it's totally fine as long as your goals are the
- 4:26Speaker 1: same and you're willing to square that circle when the
- 4:29Speaker 1: time comes. Then yeah, we're not going to have any issues.
- 4:33Speaker 1: But anyway, yeah, so there's lots of extra content. Please
- 4:38Speaker 1: consider joining us for that. And if you don't want
- 4:42Speaker 1: to wake up one morning to find that we've been
- 4:43Speaker 1: yeeted from the internet, go to badgerfeed.com or honeybadgerradio.com. which
- 4:48Speaker 1: is where you'll find all of our content archived. Please
- 4:52Speaker 1: consider doing that as well. And with all that out
- 4:55Speaker 1: of the way, I'm just going to ask you guys
- 4:57Speaker 1: to please like the videos, the stream while we're live
- 5:00Speaker 1: so that maybe more people will see it. And if
- 5:02Speaker 1: you're on Rumble, they have this thing where you can
- 5:05Speaker 1: repost live streams. So maybe you can repost it. I
- 5:08Speaker 1: don't know if it'll help, but I'd like to grow
- 5:10Speaker 1: the Rumble audience if at all possible. But anyway, with
- 5:13Speaker 1: all that out of the way, let us get into
- 5:15Speaker 1: today's stories. So, A former Cornell University student, this woman here,
- 5:25Speaker 1: says the man who was found responsible for sexually assaulting
- 5:29Speaker 1: her received only a written reprimand and an essay as punishment.
- 5:34Speaker 1: Casey Lee, who spoke with CNN, this is of course
- 5:36Speaker 1: after the Cornell 7 thing, so everybody's talking about it now,
- 5:39Speaker 1: said she was assaulted in the spring of her freshman year.
- 5:43Speaker 1: She reported the incident through the university's Title IX process.
- 5:47Speaker 1: A Cornell panel determined the other student was responsible for
- 5:51Speaker 1: sexual assault after reviewing evidence that included her contacting a
- 5:55Speaker 1: rape hotline and searching for information about what to do
- 5:58Speaker 1: after an assault. Instead of suspension or expulsion, the panel,
- 6:02Speaker 1: according to Casey Lee, imposed a written reprimand, disciplinary probation,
- 6:09Speaker 1: a no-contact order, and a directed study that required a
- 6:13Speaker 1: reflection paper. Lee described the outcome as essentially giving her
- 6:16Speaker 1: assailant homework, saying, quote, you raped someone, here's homework, end quote.
- 6:21Speaker 1: She said she felt betrayed by the process and that
- 6:24Speaker 1: the result made her feel her experience, quote, wasn't bad enough,
- 6:28Speaker 1: end quote. Her account is part of a CNN investigation
- 6:32Speaker 1: that reviewed Cornell records from roughly mid-2020 to mid-2024 of
- 6:38Speaker 1: 16 students found responsible, supposedly, for sexual assault. Again, this
- 6:42Speaker 1: is using College courts not necessarily like criminal courts. During
- 6:47Speaker 1: that period, only two were expelled and six were suspended.
- 6:51Speaker 1: Seven others received lighter sanctions, such as reprimands, probation, or
- 6:55Speaker 1: additional study requirements. Cornell had stated it takes sexual misconduct
- 7:00Speaker 1: allegations seriously and follows established procedures. I have a little clip.
- 7:06Speaker 1: I'll let her speak for herself. Again, this is a
- 7:09Speaker 1: claim coming from a woman. By the way, this woman,
- 7:12Speaker 1: she writes for Um, uh, websites like CNN, actually, she
- 7:16Speaker 1: is a writer for, for journalism. So yeah, just so
- 7:20Speaker 1: you know what you're, what you're dealing with here. Let's
- 7:22Speaker 1: play it.
- 7:23Speaker 6: I was raped spring of my freshman year.
- 7:26Speaker 7: How do you feel about the Title IX process and
- 7:28Speaker 7: how Cornell handled this case?
- 7:31Speaker 6: I know I never would have done that if I
- 7:35Speaker 6: knew that he could have just received an essay if
- 7:37Speaker 6: he was.
- 7:39Speaker 4: found guilty.
- 7:40Speaker 7: Casey Lee is a Cornell University graduate who faced a
- 7:43Speaker 7: similar experience to Jane Doe, the woman at the center
- 7:46Speaker 7: of the Cornell sexual assault scandal. They both went through
- 7:49Speaker 7: the Title IX process. Lee spoke to me about her
- 7:52Speaker 7: experience with the school's investigation, which found her fellow student
- 7:56Speaker 7: responsible for her sexual assault.
- 7:58Speaker 6: He got a written reprimand from the school. He was
- 8:04Speaker 6: placed under a no contact order. He is assigned a
- 8:07Speaker 6: directed study and a draft reflection paper. An essay is
- 8:12Speaker 6: just an extra homework assignment. Like, oh, you raped someone?
- 8:17Speaker 6: Here's homework. I really do think I walked away from
- 8:21Speaker 6: the process with the sense that my rape just wasn't
- 8:23Speaker 6: that bad.
- 8:24Speaker 7: Our investigation found that nearly half of the 16 Cornell
- 8:27Speaker 7: University students found responsible for sexual assault over a recent
- 8:31Speaker 7: four-year period avoided suspension or expulsion. Instead, they were punished
- 8:36Speaker 7: with written reprimands, disciplinary probations and extra study programs.
- 8:40Speaker 6: I was hoping that if they found him responsible for
- 8:45Speaker 6: sexual assault, that he would have been suspended or expelled.
- 8:49Speaker 6: In the moment, Title IX seemed like the easiest option.
- 8:55Speaker 6: The investigator was saying things like, oh, it would be
- 8:58Speaker 6: with people that are within our community, like your hearing panels.
- 9:01Speaker 6: So I think in that sense, it also felt a
- 9:03Speaker 6: little bit safer.
- 9:04Speaker 7: When Jane Doe's case became public, what was your reaction?
- 9:09Speaker 6: I was so sure they were going to get expelled
- 9:12Speaker 6: because that's insane. How you could care so little about
- 9:19Speaker 6: my life and about Jane Doe's life and the many
- 9:24Speaker 6: other lives that are affected by sexual assault on your
- 9:31Speaker 6: campus I don't think it's a question of if they
- 9:33Speaker 6: believed me I think it's a question of if they
- 9:35Speaker 6: cared enough to do anything about it.
- 9:43Speaker 1: Okay so that's the news clip or whatever from CNN
- 9:49Speaker 1: so and of course this is being shared around all
- 9:53Speaker 1: over the place so I figured it was worth bringing up.
- 9:58Speaker 1: So anyway, I'll give my thoughts at the end.
- 10:01Speaker 2: You guys go first. Whoever wants to say anything to this.
- 10:04Speaker 5: I can't help but notice that nowhere in the official
- 10:07Speaker 5: documentation is the dreaded R word used to officially describe
- 10:14Speaker 5: the alleged offense.
- 10:18Speaker 3: Obviously.
- 10:18Speaker 5: The accuser here said it was rape, as did the
- 10:23Speaker 5: other CNN propagandists disseminating the information.
- 10:27Speaker 3: Or should I say misinformation?
- 10:31Speaker 5: But if the people in charge of investigating it cannot
- 10:34Speaker 5: bring themselves to call it rape, or anything beyond sexual assault,
- 10:39Speaker 5: that is quite telling. At least it is when the
- 10:44Speaker 5: accused is male and the accuser is female.
- 10:48Speaker 3: A woman.
- 10:50Speaker 5: Can practically never be charged with rape, no matter what
- 10:54Speaker 5: she does. In many states, it's not just practically, it's
- 10:57Speaker 5: legally across the board. She could threaten a man with
- 11:02Speaker 5: a weapon and then poison him and then rape him
- 11:05Speaker 5: while he's unconscious. And the worst thing it can ever
- 11:07Speaker 5: be called is sexual assault. So when a woman is
- 11:13Speaker 5: accused of sexual assault, it could mean anything. She could
- 11:16Speaker 5: have raped a man until his knob fell off, and
- 11:19Speaker 5: it would still just be sexual assault. But when a
- 11:23Speaker 5: man is accused by a woman of anything, every effort
- 11:28Speaker 5: is made to trump up the charges up to and
- 11:31Speaker 5: including rape. Even if the encounter was unanimously consensual, and
- 11:36Speaker 5: the accuser simply retracted their consent years later, it can
- 11:42Speaker 5: and will still be called rape. So if they can't
- 11:45Speaker 5: even manage to take it that far, what does it
- 11:49Speaker 5: tell us? Notice we're not even being furnished with any
- 11:53Speaker 5: of the details. Did it even involve penetrative sex?
- 11:57Speaker 3: Even digitally?
- 12:01Speaker 5: Highly unlikely, since if it did, it would almost certainly
- 12:04Speaker 5: be called rape. If all they can call it is
- 12:08Speaker 5: sexual assault, then yeah, it could be anything. It could
- 12:13Speaker 5: be a slap on the ass. It could just be
- 12:16Speaker 5: an accidental brushing of the shoulder. It could have involved
- 12:19Speaker 5: no physical contact whatsoever. It could just be an autistic
- 12:23Speaker 5: guy asking a girl out in an awkward way, and
- 12:26Speaker 5: because she got the ick, she officially accused him of
- 12:29Speaker 5: sexual assault. Don't be acting like that shit doesn't happen.
- 12:33Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure it has, and we've covered it on
- 12:36Speaker 5: some episode. The standards for rape, when it comes to
- 12:42Speaker 5: men accused by women... includes everything from actual rape to
- 12:48Speaker 5: any kind of consensual sex. The standards for sexual assault,
- 12:54Speaker 5: when it comes to men accused by women, is everything else.
- 13:00Speaker 5: It could be a hug or a kiss, consensual at
- 13:04Speaker 5: the time but later retracted. It could be a catcall.
- 13:08Speaker 5: It could be any mention of any sexual innuendo overheard
- 13:12Speaker 5: across a crowded room. It could be a man simply saying,
- 13:16Speaker 5: my name is Hugh Mungus, before getting relentlessly harassed in
- 13:23Speaker 5: real life.
- 13:24Speaker 3: This person! Hugh Mungus what?
- 13:29Speaker 5: And then she relentlessly harasses him in real life, and
- 13:32Speaker 5: then by internet campaign.
- 13:35Speaker 3: Oh, the memories.
- 13:36Speaker 5: Thousands of memories of this kind of shit. And they're
- 13:39Speaker 5: all languishing in the back of our brains somewhere. And,
- 13:43Speaker 5: of course, lined up on the internet somewhere in this
- 13:47Speaker 5: archive of pain that's far too large to marathon by now. But, hey,
- 13:52Speaker 5: hit the search button and see what you can find.
- 13:55Speaker 5: Like and subscribe don't do anything, nor does the notification bell,
- 13:59Speaker 5: but try hitting the magnifying glass and see what pops up.
- 14:03Speaker 3: Do you feel lucky, punk worldie?
- 14:06Speaker 2: So, Zarna Joshi is still around, guys, just so you know.
- 14:10Speaker 3: That woman. They're all still around.
- 14:11Speaker 2: The humongous lady.
- 14:12Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 14:13Speaker 2: Zarna Joshi.
- 14:14Speaker 1: She still writes about patriarchy and stuff.
- 14:17Speaker 3: We should always.
- 14:18Speaker 4: Just call her the humongous lady because that's insulting as fuck.
- 14:26Speaker 2: Alright, Hannah, I guess.
- 14:28Speaker 4: So, I'm not going to claim that I hate to
- 14:34Speaker 4: say I told you so. Because I don't. I hate
- 14:38Speaker 4: to sound like I love to say I told you so.
- 14:41Speaker 4: But sometimes I do, and that's just going to have
- 14:46Speaker 4: to be okay, because I told you so. Back when
- 14:49Speaker 4: we first started talking about Title IX, if you only
- 14:52Speaker 4: have the information you have about this case, and that's
- 14:57Speaker 4: where we are right now, there's no way to dig
- 15:01Speaker 4: into this girl's past from our perspective without being creepy.
- 15:07Speaker 4: Somebody will do it, though. It'll happen. Her story will
- 15:10Speaker 4: come out now that she's gone on TV and talked
- 15:12Speaker 4: about it. But one of the things I predicted is
- 15:20Speaker 4: that girls are going to go to the university to
- 15:25Speaker 4: adjudicate these kinds of cases and then be upset at
- 15:29Speaker 4: the results. Because the university cannot put a guy in jail.
- 15:34Speaker 4: The most they can do is.
- 15:38Speaker 4: Suspend or expel a guy. And then you have an
- 15:41Speaker 4: uneducated guy at large. If he did commit the crime,
- 15:45Speaker 4: which we don't know, or if he didn't commit the crime,
- 15:50Speaker 4: you have a victim who has been denied an education
- 15:53Speaker 4: for no good reason. Either way, it's bad. On one hand,
- 15:59Speaker 4: you have this victim that's been denied an education for
- 16:02Speaker 4: no good reason, and now the chances are greater than
- 16:06Speaker 4: they were yesterday. that he will be dependent upon the state.
- 16:13Speaker 4: Your tax dollars would end up supporting someone like that.
- 16:17Speaker 4: They can't get a job. They can't pay back their
- 16:20Speaker 4: college loans. They can't get out of their college loans
- 16:24Speaker 4: because they were denied an education. If they're lucky, they
- 16:28Speaker 4: can sue for a due process violation and win. But
- 16:32Speaker 4: if their case isn't cut and dried, they might not.
- 16:36Speaker 4: They might not be able to win. So they're just
- 16:38Speaker 4: fucked over, right? And what's left for them? Working in
- 16:45Speaker 4: retail or bottom-rung healthcare. None of the things that pay
- 16:50Speaker 4: well enough to pay off that college loan. Especially a
- 16:54Speaker 4: loan big enough to go to a place like Cornell
- 16:58Speaker 4: or Yale or Harvard when the allegations happen at one
- 17:02Speaker 4: of those schools. Meanwhile... If you do have a perpetrator
- 17:10Speaker 4: on campus, perpetrators do exist. Real perpetrators do exist. If
- 17:16Speaker 4: you do have a perpetrator on campus and he does
- 17:20Speaker 4: something dastardly or she does something dastardly and the victim
- 17:28Speaker 4: just goes to the campus authorities and all that happens...
- 17:36Speaker 4: is the individual gets expelled from university. That individual is
- 17:40Speaker 4: now free, and angry and resentful, hasn't learned a goddamn thing, because,
- 17:48Speaker 4: contrary to feminist belief, you cannot teach actual perpetrators not
- 17:55Speaker 4: to rape. They already know that they are committing a crime.
- 18:00Speaker 4: They already know that you did not consent. They already
- 18:04Speaker 4: know that they overrode your bodily autonomy. They did that
- 18:11Speaker 4: on purpose. It was part of what got them off.
- 18:15Speaker 4: And now, this person just melts into the rest of society,
- 18:23Speaker 4: angry and forever poor, probably to live in neighborhoods that
- 18:30Speaker 4: are a little bit shady because, again, forever poor. And
- 18:37Speaker 4: they're probably going to want revenge. Dumb idea. It's much
- 18:42Speaker 4: better if perpetrators are dealt with through the system, through
- 18:49Speaker 4: the justice system, not through the university system. That's a
- 18:55Speaker 4: terrible situation. Having somebody completely free that committed a heinous crime.
- 19:01Speaker 4: So you get nothing good. out of the university system.
- 19:09Speaker 4: This chick who's so upset, you know, she got her
- 19:13Speaker 4: worst case scenario. The university didn't even do the worst
- 19:16Speaker 4: thing it could do. She still got to share a
- 19:18Speaker 4: campus with the individual that she accused. And if he's innocent,
- 19:25Speaker 4: obviously everyone around him is going to know that. Everyone
- 19:30Speaker 4: that's close to him is going to know that. She
- 19:32Speaker 4: probably has a faction of people that are going to
- 19:36Speaker 4: respond to her, which she deserves. If he's guilty, he
- 19:42Speaker 4: may have some people fooled, and she still probably has
- 19:45Speaker 4: a faction of people that's going to respond to her
- 19:47Speaker 4: that she doesn't deserve, and there on campus with him.
- 19:53Speaker 4: Even though he has a no-contact order on campus, it's
- 19:57Speaker 4: not the same as a legal no-contact order. He can
- 20:02Speaker 4: get in trouble on campus, but the minute they graduate,
- 20:05Speaker 4: he can get revenge some way or another. I hope
- 20:08Speaker 4: she never has to go work in a place where
- 20:11Speaker 4: that guy works. And I hope that guy never has
- 20:15Speaker 4: to go work in a place where she works. Because
- 20:18Speaker 4: they're pretty much going to be at odds for the
- 20:20Speaker 4: rest of their lives. The campus adjudication system for these
- 20:28Speaker 4: kinds of incidents and allegations, these are... These are not
- 20:37Speaker 4: things that should be handled outside of the legal system
- 20:41Speaker 4: without also being handled in the legal system. If the
- 20:46Speaker 4: accusation involves a criminal offense, the university should be obligated
- 20:55Speaker 4: to pursue charges on behalf of the accuser. And their
- 21:02Speaker 4: adjudication of it Should have to run parallel. To that.
- 21:07Speaker 4: Of law enforcement in the courts. And if it turns out.
- 21:11Speaker 4: That the accusation was false. And the. Accuser just made
- 21:17Speaker 4: it up. Then. She should go to jail. Because he
- 21:25Speaker 4: could have. She should be expelled from school. Because he
- 21:29Speaker 4: could have. Anything that. he would have suffered as a
- 21:35Speaker 4: result of her allegations. That should be considered part of
- 21:39Speaker 4: her criminal offense. If he would have been arrested or
- 21:42Speaker 4: was arrested, that's kidnapping. If he's an innocent guy and
- 21:48Speaker 4: a bunch of dudes, like Karen has always said, you know,
- 21:51Speaker 4: come and rough him up, take him away and stick
- 21:55Speaker 4: him in a cage, that's kidnapping. And if he's put
- 22:01Speaker 4: through an interrogation, and an investigation, and a hearing, that's
- 22:07Speaker 4: psychological torture. So these are not minor crimes that this
- 22:14Speaker 4: person has experienced. If somebody falsely accuses an individual and
- 22:21Speaker 4: the individual is arrested, that should result in jail time
- 22:28Speaker 4: commensurate with those crimes. Not just everything that would have
- 22:32Speaker 4: happened to him, but what would happen to an individual
- 22:36Speaker 4: who did to another individual what she got the state
- 22:41Speaker 4: to do to him. And same thing with the college.
- 22:48Speaker 4: Anything that would happen to an individual who did to
- 22:53Speaker 4: another individual what she got the university to do to him,
- 22:57Speaker 4: she should be criminally liable for if she lied. And
- 23:04Speaker 4: before women start talking about how harsh that is, perjury
- 23:08Speaker 4: is hard to prove because you have to prove the
- 23:10Speaker 4: individual knew that what they were saying is false. It's
- 23:16Speaker 4: not considered a lie if they made a mistake. So
- 23:21Speaker 4: if they're drunk at a party and they fell asleep,
- 23:27Speaker 4: passed out, and Some things occurred that made it appear
- 23:32Speaker 4: to them that they had been sexually assaulted and they
- 23:35Speaker 4: started the process of investigation and that guy gets caught
- 23:39Speaker 4: up in it. That's not the same as going to
- 23:42Speaker 4: an authority and saying, John Doe did this to me.
- 23:48Speaker 4: It's very different in that situation. So women who don't
- 23:52Speaker 4: actually know what's going on wouldn't be in any danger.
- 23:56Speaker 4: It's the women who just whole cloth make up an
- 23:59Speaker 4: allegation against someone. Those are the women that would go
- 24:03Speaker 4: to jail. And I think that's what should happen. But
- 24:07Speaker 4: in the meantime, I did tell people there's no way,
- 24:12Speaker 4: there is absolutely no way for a system like this
- 24:16Speaker 4: to exist without causing problems. It is never going to
- 24:18Speaker 4: solve problems. It is always going to cause problems. And
- 24:22Speaker 4: there are always going to be big problems one way
- 24:24Speaker 4: or another. So I feel sorry for the people involved
- 24:29Speaker 4: in this case, at least the innocent ones. But this
- 24:37Speaker 4: is what you get as a feminist. This is what
- 24:42Speaker 4: a feminist gets. This is what any woman gets for
- 24:47Speaker 4: supporting a system like that and trying to bypass the
- 24:52Speaker 4: burden of proof that they would have in the legal system.
- 24:57Speaker 4: And then the other end of it, I'm starting to
- 24:59Speaker 4: think universities pushed for this so that they could keep
- 25:05Speaker 4: incidents under wraps more by keeping them out of the
- 25:09Speaker 4: legal system. So if an incident happens on campus, nobody
- 25:14Speaker 4: gets arrested, there's no public record of it, nobody knows
- 25:17Speaker 4: that there was a sexual assault at that university, unless
- 25:20Speaker 4: somebody goes to the media. So, you know, all around...
- 25:27Speaker 4: It was a bad idea. It's always going to be
- 25:29Speaker 4: a bad idea. It should have remained shut down and
- 25:36Speaker 4: hopefully the shutdown of the education department will have an effect.
- 25:42Speaker 4: We'll get rid of this. If not, further action will
- 25:47Speaker 4: have to be taken to make it go away. Yeah.
- 25:56Speaker 1: I guess the only thing I will say about this,
- 26:00Speaker 1: first of all, this woman is not a current student.
- 26:03Speaker 2: She had already graduated.
- 26:05Speaker 1: And the data that she comes up in is between
- 26:09Speaker 1: the years 2020 and 2024. So at the latest, she
- 26:15Speaker 1: was a student in 2024 that had this experience, right?
- 26:19Speaker 1: So she didn't go to police. She tried to file
- 26:22Speaker 1: a Title IX thing. This is why I'm basically calling
- 26:25Speaker 1: into question like how legitimate this is by pointing out
- 26:27Speaker 1: what she did do and what she did not do.
- 26:30Speaker 1: Not necessarily like what, you know, speculating on things I
- 26:32Speaker 1: don't know about. So she did not go to police,
- 26:35Speaker 1: which it's interesting too, because people in the comments under
- 26:39Speaker 1: the video post, they were like, well, why didn't she
- 26:41Speaker 1: go to police? And of course, feminists and women, I'll
- 26:45Speaker 1: just say women. I'm not going to say feminists because
- 26:47Speaker 1: they don't explicitly call themselves feminists. They're not, they're just,
- 26:49Speaker 1: they're just women. Women were in the comments saying, well,
- 26:53Speaker 1: police never do anything. Look at how many rape kits
- 26:56Speaker 1: are left unused. Whatever, right? Basically, it's a very convenient
- 27:03Speaker 1: narrative because if you don't go to the police, there's
- 27:06Speaker 1: already a bunch of reasoning behind why going to the
- 27:09Speaker 1: police doesn't help.
- 27:11Speaker 2: Even though, again, it's not true.
- 27:13Speaker 1: She didn't feel it was important enough to go to cops.
- 27:17Speaker 1: And you can also tell that She didn't really feel
- 27:21Speaker 1: that bad about it because in the interview she says, well,
- 27:24Speaker 1: they should have been expelled. So wait, wait, if you
- 27:27Speaker 1: were raped, do you just want the guy expelled? Is
- 27:30Speaker 1: that like good enough? Like, that's why I don't buy it.
- 27:33Speaker 1: I'm just saying like, this is just like, oh, I
- 27:36Speaker 1: have a chance here to tell a story, get on
- 27:38Speaker 1: the news and like have my profile lifted up. So
- 27:41Speaker 1: I'm going to do that. I'm going to get attention.
- 27:42Speaker 1: I'm going to get sympathy. Hell, I could start a
- 27:45Speaker 1: GoFundMe of some kind, you know, and I'll get some opportunities.
- 27:49Speaker 1: I'll be the talk of the town. I'll be the
- 27:50Speaker 1: new Jane Doe. Sure enough, there's a bunch of support
- 27:53Speaker 1: behind this woman, even though, again, did not go to
- 27:56Speaker 1: the police.
- 27:56Speaker 2: There's no police report.
- 27:58Speaker 1: Felt that like, oh, you know, it would have, like
- 28:00Speaker 1: if the guys got expelled, if the guy was expelled,
- 28:02Speaker 1: do you think that she would have gone on CNN
- 28:05Speaker 1: and like done this?
- 28:06Speaker 2: Probably, right?
- 28:07Speaker 1: It would have just been a different narrative. It would
- 28:09Speaker 1: have been, Oh, he should have gone to jail. He
- 28:12Speaker 1: should have, you know, the university should have done something
- 28:16Speaker 1: that is completely not within their.
- 28:18Speaker 2: Power to do.
- 28:19Speaker 1: So this is like the reason why I brought this
- 28:21Speaker 1: up is that her story falls apart under the slightest
- 28:26Speaker 1: amount of scrutiny and I don't buy it. I mean, like,
- 28:29Speaker 1: you know, I'm allowing for space just in case, but
- 28:33Speaker 1: I doubt that she's being completely honest. And CNN is,
- 28:38Speaker 1: of course, participating in that because... There's nothing they like
- 28:41Speaker 1: more than to ramp this kind of stuff up to
- 28:43Speaker 1: essentially gin up support for them and get those clicks.
- 28:46Speaker 1: It's either rage bait for the men or it's, you know,
- 28:49Speaker 1: going to get a bunch of angry women on board
- 28:52Speaker 1: to be like, I am Jane Doe 2.0 or whatever.
- 28:58Speaker 1: And this woman's reputation is basically safe because all she
- 29:01Speaker 1: has to do is say, well, I was a victim.
- 29:03Speaker 2: I didn't, you know.
- 29:05Speaker 1: I didn't, like, take Dick six ways from Sunday. That
- 29:08Speaker 1: wasn't me. I was inebriated. He had a higher... He
- 29:12Speaker 1: was taller than me. He had more influence than I did.
- 29:15Speaker 3: Whatever.
- 29:16Speaker 1: And we don't even know the story. We're just told
- 29:18Speaker 1: this happened, and we're just supposed to be like, yeah,
- 29:20Speaker 1: that tracks. Like, no evidence. No nothing. There's no nothing.
- 29:25Speaker 1: She's just saying it happened, and we're just supposed to
- 29:27Speaker 1: accept it.
- 29:28Speaker 2: So, you know, I mean.
- 29:30Speaker 1: One could say this is just bandwagoning, like the Jane
- 29:33Speaker 1: Doe thing happened, so a bunch of other people were like, well,
- 29:35Speaker 1: I have a similar story and I want to tell it.
- 29:37Speaker 2: And sure, you know, that's a very, very.
- 29:41Speaker 1: Let's say, I don't know, like a really low effort
- 29:47Speaker 1: move on the part of the women who did this,
- 29:49Speaker 1: but it definitely happens because it's a good way to get,
- 29:51Speaker 1: like I said before, attention and support. Very common. And
- 29:55Speaker 1: there's going to be more of these, by the way.
- 29:57Speaker 1: There's going to be more women... They're going to come
- 30:00Speaker 1: out of the woodwork and they're all going to have claims.
- 30:02Speaker 1: And it's either going to be Cornell women or women
- 30:05Speaker 1: from other places because they all, they all want a
- 30:08Speaker 1: piece of that. They just see, I don't know. It
- 30:10Speaker 1: just seems like Jane Doe is like a kind of
- 30:13Speaker 1: celebrity in these circles and other women want to be
- 30:15Speaker 1: a part of that. So that's what I can expect
- 30:18Speaker 1: is going to happen. But anyway, I'm going to look
- 30:23Speaker 1: at some super chats. I got a super chat here.
- 30:25Speaker 1: Let me just make sure I didn't miss. Oh, I
- 30:27Speaker 1: got a Super Chow earlier today before the show. I'm
- 30:31Speaker 1: going to read that and then the Super Chat and
- 30:32Speaker 1: then we'll move on. So Super Chow from Deadly Do
- 30:35Speaker 1: Right for $ 50. Thank you, Deadly Do Right. Really appreciate that. Oh,
- 30:39Speaker 1: my soundboard's not working. I got to restart it. And
- 30:43Speaker 1: he says, Ari, not so erudite versus Rachel Wilson. I
- 30:48Speaker 1: know Allison keeps saying poor people are having kids, but
- 30:50Speaker 1: let's be honest. It's not poor people. It's people with
- 30:53Speaker 1: low enough incomes. to be on tons of government welfare
- 30:56Speaker 1: programs and have time because they aren't working to support themselves.
- 31:00Speaker 1: The lower middle and middle class men working 70-hour work
- 31:03Speaker 1: weeks generally are not. They are paying for the leeching classes,
- 31:06Speaker 1: the social securities, and the jobless.
- 31:08Speaker 3: Yes.
- 31:09Speaker 2: All right, thank you for that.
- 31:10Speaker 3: The people on benefits are women. Women are having children.
- 31:15Speaker 3: Men are part of the process.
- 31:18Speaker 4: That's a good point. Most of the time when you
- 31:21Speaker 4: have someone on benefits because they have children, if it's
- 31:25Speaker 4: not a married couple, it's temporarily on benefits cause they're
- 31:28Speaker 4: down on their luck. It's a woman. If it's, if
- 31:31Speaker 4: it's longterm and, uh, you know, it's, it's because it's
- 31:36Speaker 4: a single income household.
- 31:38Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 31:38Speaker 4: It's a single mom.
- 31:39Speaker 2: More women are on welfare basically.
- 31:41Speaker 4: Oh yeah. Significantly more women than men are using welfare,
- 31:46Speaker 4: especially longterm or repetitively. Yeah.
- 31:51Speaker 2: There are not, there are net tax drain basically. Um,
- 31:56Speaker 2: and it's actually harder for men to qualify for welfare
- 32:00Speaker 2: and stuff too. It seems, but anyway, uh, thank you
- 32:04Speaker 2: for that.
- 32:04Speaker 4: It is because they don't have custody of, of kids.
- 32:07Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh, thank you for that. Deadly do right.
- 32:11Speaker 1: Xerings gives us $ 2, uh, super chat and says struggle.
- 32:15Speaker 2: Snuggle demand is greater than supply. Thank you. Yup. It's true.
- 32:21Speaker 2: All right. So, let us know what you guys think
- 32:23Speaker 2: about this one in the comments. We're going to move
- 32:24Speaker 2: on to the next story.
- 32:25Speaker 1: Seems like there's a lot of allegations or alizations flying
- 32:30Speaker 1: around these days. So, next we got Russell Brand.
- 32:34Speaker 3: So, okay.
- 32:35Speaker 1: We covered, I think, the initial allegations when they came out.
- 32:38Speaker 1: But now the trial has begun. So, because of that,
- 32:42Speaker 1: everyone's talking about this story. And this is more examples
- 32:46Speaker 1: of women being oppressed and all that.
- 32:48Speaker 2: So, comedian and formal.
- 32:50Speaker 5: The UK newspapers are certainly all running with this.
- 32:54Speaker 3: Yes.
- 32:56Speaker 1: Comedian and former television presenter Russell Brand is on trial
- 33:00Speaker 1: at Southwark Crown Court in London, where he faces three
- 33:05Speaker 1: counts of rape, three counts of sexual assault, and one
- 33:07Speaker 1: count of indecent assault. The charges, which he denies, relate
- 33:12Speaker 1: to allegations by six women concerning incidents between the years
- 33:16Speaker 1: 1999 and 2009.
- 33:20Speaker 2: So this is like a long time ago. 1999, wow.
- 33:25Speaker 1: I was like 25. That's half my life back.
- 33:30Speaker 2: More.
- 33:30Speaker 1: Anyway, prosecutors have described Brand as a ruthless, calculating, and
- 33:35Speaker 1: manipulative sexual predator who allegedly targeted women during his rise
- 33:40Speaker 1: to fame. The court has heard evidence from multiple complainants,
- 33:43Speaker 1: including accounts of an alleged rape after a Labor Party
- 33:46Speaker 1: conference event in 1999 an alleged oral rape in a
- 33:51Speaker 1: Soho bar toilet in 2004. One accuser told the jury
- 33:55Speaker 1: that Brand grabbed her breasts with a big grin like
- 33:59Speaker 1: a clown or maniacal expression before dragging her into the bathroom,
- 34:03Speaker 1: ignoring her objections. Other testimonies have described workplace incidents involving groping,
- 34:11Speaker 1: forced kissing, and attempts to pull women into toilets.
- 34:14Speaker 3: What?
- 34:15Speaker 1: Brand, 51, I didn't know he was that young, has
- 34:19Speaker 1: pleaded not guilty to all charges and has maintained that
- 34:22Speaker 1: any sexual contact was consensual. He has arrived at court
- 34:27Speaker 1: accompanied by his wife, Laura Gallacher, and has told reporters
- 34:33Speaker 1: he feels blessed, concerned but hopeful, and that he is
- 34:37Speaker 1: praying for everyone involved. The trial, which began with jury
- 34:40Speaker 1: selection earlier this month, is expected to last several more weeks.
- 34:46Speaker 3: All right.
- 34:47Speaker 1: So 20 years on, and we're just now dealing with this.
- 34:51Speaker 1: Is this when women realize this has happened and they're like,
- 34:53Speaker 1: oh man, we've got to do something about that.
- 34:57Speaker 5: Question for the chat. Should there be a statute of
- 34:59Speaker 5: limitations for the crime of rape? Currently in the UK,
- 35:04Speaker 5: there is not. For men, I mean. To repeat what
- 35:10Speaker 5: I went on about in the last segment, for women
- 35:14Speaker 5: in the UK, the statute of limitations is zero days,
- 35:18Speaker 5: zero seconds, zero nanoseconds, because a woman cannot be accused
- 35:24Speaker 5: of raping any man or any woman or any child,
- 35:27Speaker 5: no matter what she does, even if the victim explicitly
- 35:32Speaker 5: expressed that they did not consent to anything with said
- 35:35Speaker 5: woman seconds before the event or years before the event,
- 35:39Speaker 5: even on camera as a matter of official police record.
- 35:46Speaker 5: To summarize, women's legal right to rape anyone and get
- 35:52Speaker 5: away without a rape charge is infinite. While women's legal
- 35:59Speaker 5: right to falsely accuse a man of rape is also infinite.
- 36:06Speaker 5: Men's rights in both such cases are, of course, zero.
- 36:12Speaker 5: And frankly, if several men came out of the woodwork
- 36:17Speaker 5: at the same time to accuse the same woman of
- 36:20Speaker 5: raping them 20 to 30 years ago there isn't a
- 36:25Speaker 5: judge in the land who wouldn't go hang on this
- 36:27Speaker 5: is a bit sus why did you all wait until
- 36:31Speaker 5: now this is obviously just an orchestrated campaign to smear
- 36:34Speaker 5: this poor innocent woman in any case she cannot have
- 36:38Speaker 5: raped any of you because she's a woman and it
- 36:41Speaker 5: is legally not possible I hereby hold you all in
- 36:44Speaker 5: contempt of court three years each Needless to say, we
- 36:49Speaker 5: still will not criminally charge women for false accusations, even
- 36:53Speaker 5: through any such legal loopholes as contempt of court.
- 36:57Speaker 3: I'm not even exaggerating, by the way.
- 36:59Speaker 5: Almost all judges in the UK are like this, because
- 37:03Speaker 5: almost all law schools are like this. Just like almost
- 37:06Speaker 5: all schools of any kind are like this. The juries
- 37:12Speaker 5: are much the same, because they've all been through the
- 37:15Speaker 5: school system as well. if you're a man accusing a
- 37:18Speaker 5: woman of rape or even sexual assault, almost no lawyer
- 37:24Speaker 5: will even take your case because they know they will lose.
- 37:29Speaker 5: But on the subject of the statute of limitations, maybe
- 37:33Speaker 5: it should extend not just to timeframes, but to other excesses,
- 37:39Speaker 5: like the number of plaintiffs all turning.
- 37:41Speaker 3: Up at once. I mean, two is believable. Six is believable.
- 37:47Speaker 5: Verging on conceivable but let's say if a hundred women
- 37:52Speaker 5: all happen to turn up at the same time claiming
- 37:54Speaker 5: he raped me 20 to 50 years ago is there
- 37:59Speaker 5: not some kind of legal precedent along the lines of
- 38:03Speaker 5: hang on why did none of these women come.
- 38:06Speaker 3: Forward until just now.
- 38:10Speaker 5: Well to be fair I don't think any of Jimmy
- 38:13Speaker 5: Savile's victims came forward until after his death, or at
- 38:19Speaker 5: least they weren't able to. And the answer to why
- 38:24Speaker 5: not is because Jimmy Savile was a state-sponsored paedophile. He
- 38:32Speaker 5: said what he was told to say, did what he
- 38:34Speaker 5: was told to do, and stayed between the lines in
- 38:36Speaker 5: his lane until the day he died. He never left
- 38:40Speaker 5: the plantation going, I think you're being lied to by...
- 38:46Speaker 5: government-regulated broadcast media.
- 38:50Speaker 3: Russell Brand did do that. Eventually.
- 38:57Speaker 5: He was very much untouchable until five or six years
- 39:01Speaker 5: ago when he noticed some things that he's not allowed
- 39:08Speaker 5: to notice about the safety and efficacy of certain things
- 39:16Speaker 5: that are by no stretch of the imagination safe or effective.
- 39:21Speaker 3: And so, to.
- 39:24Speaker 5: Be honest, he might very well be guilty of all
- 39:27Speaker 5: six charges. He might be guilty of none. He does
- 39:33Speaker 5: seem to me like something of a sex pest. But
- 39:37Speaker 5: I find it hard to believe that none of these
- 39:42Speaker 5: women consented to what happened when they slinked off into
- 39:45Speaker 5: a private room with someone they know for a fact
- 39:48Speaker 5: is a sex pest. But I didn't know Jimmy Savile
- 39:54Speaker 5: was a serial mass nonce. I mean, there were suspicions
- 39:59Speaker 5: for sure, but we didn't know for sure. And I
- 40:02Speaker 5: didn't know Michael Jackson wasn't a serial mass nonce. The
- 40:08Speaker 5: media told us he was. Because Michael Jackson pissed off
- 40:13Speaker 5: the wrong people. I'm not saying who they are, but you.
- 40:18Speaker 3: Know what I mean.
- 40:19Speaker 5: Whereas the media wouldn't let anyone say Jimmy Savile was
- 40:25Speaker 5: a serial mass nonce.
- 40:27Speaker 3: Until he died.
- 40:29Speaker 5: Because he didn't piss off the wrong people. And all
- 40:35Speaker 5: I know now is that Russell Brand pissed off the
- 40:39Speaker 5: wrong people. That doesn't mean he's guilty and it doesn't
- 40:42Speaker 5: mean he's innocent. The entertainment industry is almost certainly littered
- 40:48Speaker 5: with an absolute fleet of raging slot badgers, but they
- 40:54Speaker 5: will all be protected from the slings and arrows by
- 41:00Speaker 5: the iron fist of the mass media until either they
- 41:04Speaker 5: die or they piss off the wrong people. And even
- 41:09Speaker 5: death is not a certainty. I don't know who's a
- 41:13Speaker 5: nonce and who isn't. I don't know who's a rapist
- 41:16Speaker 5: and who isn't. I don't quite know what the truth is.
- 41:19Speaker 5: All I know is when you tell the truth, the
- 41:23Speaker 5: media will destroy you. So keep an eye out for
- 41:29Speaker 5: what these destroyed celebrities have been telling you, especially recently.
- 41:34Speaker 5: Because that's probably as close as you're going to get
- 41:40Speaker 5: to an inkling of the truth. I hope I haven't
- 41:43Speaker 5: said too much.
- 41:44Speaker 3: Okay.
- 41:47Speaker 4: The difficult thing is, as hard as it is for
- 41:51Speaker 4: an accused man in any type of intimate partner or
- 41:57Speaker 4: sexual violence case to get a fair hearing in the U.S.,
- 42:03Speaker 4: it's significantly harder in the U.K. For instance, in the U.S.,
- 42:12Speaker 4: you have the right to face your accusers. your accuser
- 42:16Speaker 4: goes up on the witness stand, just like everyone else. Um,
- 42:20Speaker 4: your accuser has to testify. And when you testify in court,
- 42:28Speaker 4: the judge and jury can see you testifying. They think,
- 42:33Speaker 4: you know, uh, what they think of, of what you
- 42:38Speaker 4: say based partly on the way you say it. And, uh,
- 42:43Speaker 4: the way you look when you say it, the way
- 42:45Speaker 4: you behave when you say it. You know, you can
- 42:51Speaker 4: tell if someone's fake crying when they don't have any
- 42:57Speaker 4: evidence that they're crying except for the shaky sound of
- 43:02Speaker 4: their voice. And it doesn't even sound like real vocal shaking.
- 43:09Speaker 4: But not if they're behind a screen. If you can't
- 43:13Speaker 4: see the person who is testifying, you have just lost
- 43:20Speaker 4: a huge portion of how you judge the veracity of
- 43:24Speaker 4: what someone is telling you. So, there is no judging
- 43:31Speaker 4: whether or not the accuser believes what she's saying. Now,
- 43:36Speaker 4: just because the accuser believes what she's saying does not
- 43:39Speaker 4: necessarily mean that it is true. There have been women
- 43:41Speaker 4: that have convinced themselves or been convinced by others that
- 43:46Speaker 4: things have happened to them that didn't happen. Or that
- 43:50Speaker 4: things happened differently than the way that they happened. And
- 43:54Speaker 4: they will sound and look completely earnest because they genuinely
- 44:02Speaker 4: believe that. But it's still not true. But in this case...
- 44:10Speaker 4: Nobody can see his accusers. You can only hear them.
- 44:15Speaker 4: He doesn't have the legal right to face them. His
- 44:19Speaker 4: due process rights are compromised from the get-go. Because in
- 44:24Speaker 4: the UK, a man does not have a right to
- 44:28Speaker 4: due process. Not like in the US. And even in
- 44:33Speaker 4: the US, it's compromised. So, it's going to be hard
- 44:39Speaker 4: for me to judge this case on its merits, whether
- 44:43Speaker 4: he's found innocent or guilty, it, it's, it's not going
- 44:47Speaker 4: to matter as much, uh, because I'm not gonna be
- 44:51Speaker 4: sure that the hearing was fair and complete. Right? If
- 44:57Speaker 4: he's found innocent, it's probably even more, more so. Um,
- 45:06Speaker 4: he won't have any recourse, but, uh, You'll at least
- 45:11Speaker 4: know that he was found innocent in a system that
- 45:14Speaker 4: makes it hard, even for an innocent man, to be
- 45:17Speaker 4: found innocent. So he'll at least have that going. But
- 45:24Speaker 4: if he's found guilty, he'll have all the drawbacks of
- 45:28Speaker 4: being found guilty. And those of us who are familiar
- 45:32Speaker 4: with what due process really means will have to doubt
- 45:36Speaker 4: that verdict forever.
- 45:37Speaker 3: Because.
- 45:39Speaker 4: The UK doesn't have due process. We won't know if
- 45:44Speaker 4: the accuser was a victim or a liar. Because nobody
- 45:49Speaker 4: will see her testify. They'll only hear her. You're not
- 45:54Speaker 4: allowed to embarrass the accuser. Well, if you're not allowed
- 46:00Speaker 4: to introduce evidence that might embarrass the accuser, if you're
- 46:06Speaker 4: not allowed to challenge the accuser, If the accuser gets
- 46:10Speaker 4: to hide every clue as to whether or not what
- 46:18Speaker 4: she is saying is true, well, then you really can't trust,
- 46:24Speaker 4: if the verdict ends up being guilty, that it was
- 46:29Speaker 4: based on solid evidence. Because there's evidence that should have
- 46:32Speaker 4: been seen in court and wasn't. So I wish him
- 46:41Speaker 4: the best of luck. I wish everybody the best of luck.
- 46:43Speaker 4: And I hope that there is a just outcome. But
- 46:49Speaker 4: it'll be hard for people to know if there was
- 46:51Speaker 4: or not. Unless he is found innocent. And even then,
- 46:58Speaker 4: you know, if the accusers cannot be prosecuted for filing
- 47:03Speaker 4: false accusations, it's still not a just outcome.
- 47:11Speaker 3: Yep.
- 47:14Speaker 1: So, yeah, I'm just going to say that I think
- 47:16Speaker 1: this is just like Mike said, I think this is
- 47:18Speaker 1: just political prosecution because, you know, again, this happened like
- 47:22Speaker 1: over 20 years ago. And at that time, Russell Brand
- 47:24Speaker 1: was one of them and now he's not one of them.
- 47:26Speaker 1: And so and this they started doing this. These allegations,
- 47:29Speaker 1: I think, came out right around like after covid, I think,
- 47:32Speaker 1: was when Russell Brand had a change of heart in
- 47:36Speaker 1: terms of his. Not just his spiritual beliefs, which that's
- 47:42Speaker 1: a whole other bag of hammers. But just in terms
- 47:46Speaker 1: of him realizing that he backed the wrong horse all
- 47:49Speaker 1: this time. And so they're coming after him for that.
- 47:52Speaker 1: And I think that's what this is about. Otherwise, I
- 47:54Speaker 1: don't see how anyone would take any of these allegations seriously.
- 47:57Speaker 1: There's no way to prove them. It's been way too long.
- 48:01Speaker 1: And then it's just going to come down to his
- 48:03Speaker 1: word against theirs. And I, I fear that because again,
- 48:09Speaker 1: you know, the UK courts don't have, they don't have, um, a, um, uh,
- 48:14Speaker 1: what'd you call it? Like a cutoff time. They can
- 48:16Speaker 1: just make allegations whenever. And this sort of reinforces what
- 48:19Speaker 1: I said last week when I was talking about how
- 48:21Speaker 1: consent doesn't exist. Uh, it doesn't like, this is example
- 48:25Speaker 1: of that. Like they could have probably given him all
- 48:27Speaker 1: kinds of consent. I don't think he needed to drag
- 48:30Speaker 1: anybody anywhere. If he was like a, uh, you know,
- 48:32Speaker 1: big famous celebrity, he was already in a few big
- 48:34Speaker 1: movies and, immediately was liked by people. So I'm pretty
- 48:39Speaker 1: sure he didn't have any problems getting laid. And I'm
- 48:41Speaker 1: sure that he did. And maybe he was a bit
- 48:43Speaker 1: of a gooner and a pest and, you know, a pervert.
- 48:46Speaker 1: But then again, all the people around him were also
- 48:48Speaker 1: perverts and pests. I mean, that's just the nature of
- 48:52Speaker 1: the beast. So again, consent doesn't exist. It's not a
- 48:57Speaker 1: really good measure of whether or not something legal or,
- 49:00Speaker 1: you know, illegal happened because the way that we are
- 49:03Speaker 1: Doing things today, it's irrelevant. Like women just make shit
- 49:07Speaker 1: up and we just believe them.
- 49:08Speaker 2: So guys, just stop.
- 49:10Speaker 1: Do not go into any arrangement with a woman under
- 49:14Speaker 1: the assumption that consent is all you need. Because I'm
- 49:17Speaker 1: telling you, it is. doesn't exist.
- 49:22Speaker 2: It's fairy dust. It's irrelevant. It's an illusion. Don't do it.
- 49:27Speaker 2: For your own protection.
- 49:30Speaker 5: Beware women who blatantly express a desire to be dragged
- 49:36Speaker 5: into a toilet. Let's not forget how popular Fifty Shades
- 49:40Speaker 5: of Grey is and why it's so popular.
- 49:42Speaker 3: Yes. And I have to be very careful how I work.
- 49:45Speaker 1: Did you guys see the, as an aside, you know,
- 49:49Speaker 1: call her daddy, Alex Cooper. She did a whole episode
- 49:53Speaker 1: about the Cornell 7. She had a Cornell professor on
- 49:58Speaker 1: and they talked about all the problems with rape culture
- 50:01Speaker 1: and patriarchy and college campuses, etc., And people who disagreed
- 50:06Speaker 1: with her, of which there were many, which I'm, you know,
- 50:09Speaker 1: that's a little bit nice to know. They looked into
- 50:12Speaker 1: her like other podcasts that she's done because she's got
- 50:14Speaker 1: a big giant channel. It's the biggest channel watched by
- 50:16Speaker 1: women online. It is the biggest channel for women. And
- 50:20Speaker 1: the stuff that they found one clip that showed how
- 50:27Speaker 1: dirty she gets with her friends. And it is basically
- 50:30Speaker 1: the same shit that Jane Doe did. And again, she's
- 50:35Speaker 1: just going to turn around and say, yeah, but consent
- 50:39Speaker 1: can only be determined by the woman whenever she wants.
- 50:44Speaker 2: This is what I'm saying. Consent isn't real. It's not real.
- 50:48Speaker 2: In fact, I was.
- 50:52Speaker 4: Going to say, did you guys know that the term
- 50:57Speaker 4: rape evolved from being a term for kidnapping, stealing a woman?
- 51:03Speaker 4: from her family.
- 51:04Speaker 2: No, but that doesn't surprise me.
- 51:07Speaker 3: It evolved from reaping, as in the Grim Reaper. No,
- 51:11Speaker 3: it didn't.
- 51:13Speaker 4: It evolved from stealing. It evolved from taking. Not from killing.
- 51:20Speaker 4: It was not necessarily considered violent so much as it
- 51:26Speaker 4: was against the will of her family because she couldn't
- 51:29Speaker 4: be married off if someone kidnapped her and took off
- 51:32Speaker 4: with her.
- 51:33Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 51:35Speaker 5: Very often a horny man and a horny woman will
- 51:38Speaker 5: drag each other to another room. Very many of us
- 51:42Speaker 5: have all done it. Like we, we get a horn
- 51:44Speaker 5: attack and we sort of, we, we, as I say,
- 51:49Speaker 5: we drag each other to usually the bedroom and we
- 51:52Speaker 5: ravish each other. But many of these women will reinterpret
- 51:56Speaker 5: that as, as only the man doing the dragging.
- 52:02Speaker 4: Yeah, that is true.
- 52:06Speaker 1: Okay, so I got a super chow from Meredith G
- 52:11Speaker 1: for five, and she says, HBR News 574, honey for
- 52:14Speaker 1: the badgers.
- 52:15Speaker 2: Thank you, Meredith. Appreciate it.
- 52:18Speaker 1: All right, so let us know what you guys think
- 52:20Speaker 1: about this. Do you think they're going to find him
- 52:22Speaker 1: guilty of something? If so, what are the penalties going
- 52:26Speaker 1: to be? Is he going to go to jail or something,
- 52:27Speaker 1: or are they just destroying his reputation, and they can
- 52:30Speaker 1: just call him? I mean, they're already calling him a
- 52:33Speaker 1: serial rapist and stuff anyways.
- 52:34Speaker 3: He's already been.
- 52:35Speaker 2: Found guilty of wrong things.
- 52:36Speaker 4: He's already been found guilty.
- 52:38Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 52:38Speaker 2: He's already been found guilty. Exactly.
- 52:40Speaker 4: This is the penalty. It's why I call it psychological torture.
- 52:46Speaker 1: It is.
- 52:46Speaker 2: Yeah. The process is the punishment.
- 52:49Speaker 7: Yes.
- 52:50Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 52:50Speaker 4: Even if they don't put him in jail, even if
- 52:53Speaker 4: his reputation isn't destroyed, he still has to go through this.
- 53:00Speaker 3: Yup.
- 53:03Speaker 1: Anyway, Let us know what you guys think about this
- 53:05Speaker 1: one in the comments, and we're going to move on
- 53:07Speaker 1: to the next story.
- 53:09Speaker 2: So, Paris. Ah, Paris.
- 53:13Speaker 1: For the past two weeks, the so-called student protests in
- 53:17Speaker 1: France have been ramping up in terms of violence and impact.
- 53:20Speaker 1: While these protests were allegedly started by French students as
- 53:24Speaker 1: a way to vent grievances about school conditions, these demonstrations
- 53:28Speaker 1: have largely devolved into violent riots where black-clad foreigners have
- 53:32Speaker 1: been clashing with have been seen clashing with police, looting businesses,
- 53:36Speaker 1: attacking bystanders.
- 53:37Speaker 2: And torching local buildings.
- 53:39Speaker 1: Although there's one comic book shop that I don't think
- 53:41Speaker 1: was more safe than the other places. Over the weekend,
- 53:46Speaker 1: the historic Limoges Town Hall was set ablaze with its
- 53:49Speaker 1: main tower collapsing into a heap of flames. The nearly
- 54:00Speaker 1: 150-year-old building, while still standing, has largely been destroyed by
- 54:03Speaker 1: the fire. While riots still rage in France, similar disturbances
- 54:06Speaker 1: have been reported in Spain, Italy, Albania, Portugal, and Greece.
- 54:11Speaker 1: These new protests are being called demonstrations against the rising.
- 54:15Speaker 2: Cost of living. All right, go ahead. Mike kept it short,
- 54:22Speaker 2: which I appreciate. Thank you, Mike.
- 54:24Speaker 1: But there's definitely a lot that has been... talked about
- 54:27Speaker 1: as a result of this, but I will seed the floor,
- 54:31Speaker 1: so you guys go ahead.
- 54:33Speaker 5: I'm reluctant as I am to frame things in the
- 54:37Speaker 5: reductive terms of left-wing and right-wing. I'm going to do
- 54:39Speaker 5: so here for the sake of brevity. Bear in mind,
- 54:42Speaker 5: I mean out-group preference and in-group preference, respectively, comes to
- 54:48Speaker 5: the left and the right. The right-wing would have us
- 54:51Speaker 5: believe that these riots were started by immigrants and and
- 54:56Speaker 5: that a number of French students, actual French students, simply
- 55:02Speaker 5: joined in to support them out of a mutual hatred
- 55:07Speaker 5: for all things European. Whereas the left wing would have
- 55:12Speaker 5: us believe that these peaceful protests were started by the
- 55:18Speaker 5: French students, and that's it.
- 55:23Speaker 3: That's all it is.
- 55:23Speaker 5: It's got nothing to do with immigrants. The immigrants are
- 55:27Speaker 5: all just going to work and doing their jobs, enriching
- 55:30Speaker 5: European society as the doctors and engineers they are. Something, something,
- 55:33Speaker 5: it's all Trump's fault and racists. So it's up to
- 55:39Speaker 5: us to weigh the likelihood of each of these possibilities.
- 55:46Speaker 5: Can we decipher from the footage that some of these
- 55:50Speaker 5: rioters are not students, but are in fact immigrants of
- 55:54Speaker 5: the first, second, or third generation. Yes, I think we can.
- 56:00Speaker 5: And not just because the masks cannot hide the tone
- 56:07Speaker 5: of their distinctly un-European ethnicity, or because those who neglect
- 56:14Speaker 5: to wear the masks are very visibly not of student age.
- 56:20Speaker 5: It's It's largely because of the kinds of things they're chanting, like, voila,
- 56:25Speaker 5: we are looting in the name of Allah. And there's
- 56:30Speaker 5: this big old clue when you look at the interiors
- 56:33Speaker 5: of the stores they've been looting, and you notice the
- 56:36Speaker 5: ham and pork sections are suspiciously untouched. Methinks the plot thickens, Watson.
- 56:46Speaker 5: Not that I wouldn't put it past French students to
- 56:48Speaker 5: opportunistically join.
- 56:49Speaker 3: In with the looting. although that would be a very.
- 56:53Speaker 5: Strange way to protest against the cost of living, destroying
- 56:58Speaker 5: your food infrastructure is only going to make it worse.
- 57:03Speaker 5: But as far as I know, French people are quite
- 57:07Speaker 5: fond of le jambon. Just like most Europeans, they readily
- 57:12Speaker 5: put pork products in all kinds of things, and it
- 57:14Speaker 5: wouldn't make sense that they would leave it behind while
- 57:18Speaker 5: they make off with all the.
- 57:24Speaker 3: This all seems to be a calling.
- 57:26Speaker 5: Card of a certain culture that has arrived in France
- 57:32Speaker 5: in their millions relatively recently. So chalk that up to
- 57:39Speaker 5: the left is lying. This quite blatantly involves immigrants.
- 57:46Speaker 3: And that is.
- 57:49Speaker 5: Very much a euphemism for invaders, especially of the North
- 57:53Speaker 5: African goat fucking variety. But would it be true to
- 57:57Speaker 5: say that it started with French students and then the
- 58:01Speaker 5: immigrants joined in out of solidarity with the French students?
- 58:08Speaker 5: Are these immigrants particularly interested in siding with French people?
- 58:17Speaker 5: Is that the sort of thing that happens very often,
- 58:19Speaker 5: like in that order? Seems like it generally happens the
- 58:23Speaker 5: other way around. The George Floyd riots didn't start with
- 58:27Speaker 5: European students. The Mark Duggan riots of 2011 in London
- 58:34Speaker 5: didn't start with European students. The Rodney King riots of
- 58:39Speaker 5: 1992 in Los Angeles didn't start with European students. In
- 58:44Speaker 5: many cases, it doesn't even involve them. And that's just
- 58:49Speaker 5: to mention three roughly equidistant incidences of non-Europeans inflicting wanton
- 58:59Speaker 5: destruction on whatsoever has been built by Europeans or persons
- 59:04Speaker 5: of European descent. Of course, these latest riots across Europe
- 59:10Speaker 5: Europe not just France but Italy and all kinds of
- 59:13Speaker 5: these places are not just happening because someone died in
- 59:18Speaker 5: police custody or because someone drew or produced a picture
- 59:23Speaker 5: of their precious prophet peace be upon him once upon
- 59:27Speaker 5: a time They needed an excuse to riot. They needed
- 59:32Speaker 5: a catalyst, even if it's a tiny impurity on a
- 59:36Speaker 5: glass surface around which to form an effervescing mass of violent,
- 59:43Speaker 5: chaotic foam. But they don't even need that anymore. These
- 59:50Speaker 5: riots erupted because they could, and for no other reason.
- 59:57Speaker 5: Believe me, if there was a good reason for it,
- 1:00:01Speaker 5: like the three aforementioned incidences, the media would be megaphoning it.
- 1:00:07Speaker 3: As the excuse.
- 1:00:09Speaker 5: The media would have announced it in advance as the
- 1:00:13Speaker 5: excuse for rioting, like with George Floyd, like with Mark
- 1:00:16Speaker 5: Duggan and Rodney King, like the Charlie Hebdo scandal, etc.
- 1:00:23Speaker 5: But this time there is no excuse. There was no
- 1:00:27Speaker 5: prompt given to the angry masses of immigrants and non-Europeans.
- 1:00:34Speaker 5: It erupted all by itself, at least as far as
- 1:00:38Speaker 5: we know. If I didn't know better, I'd say it
- 1:00:41Speaker 5: started by pure chaos. Like dances start in the tent
- 1:00:50Speaker 5: sections of music festivals. There's one famous clip about it,
- 1:00:54Speaker 5: like one guy starts dancing on his own, then eventually
- 1:00:59Speaker 5: another guy joins in, and then another guy, and before
- 1:01:01Speaker 5: you know it, hundreds of people are dancing in a
- 1:01:03Speaker 5: field like nobody's watching. That's what Europeans do, by the way.
- 1:01:12Speaker 5: They join together around an impromptu leader with free-form dancing. But, yeah,
- 1:01:22Speaker 5: at this point, with a critical mass of non-Europeans, squatting rent-free,
- 1:01:29Speaker 5: literally rent-free, on top of Europe. They are doing what
- 1:01:34Speaker 5: they do.
- 1:01:37Speaker 3: And it's not dancing.
- 1:01:39Speaker 5: One guy loots a store and gets away with it,
- 1:01:41Speaker 5: so the rest of them join in, and they also
- 1:01:43Speaker 5: get away with it. And before you know it, all
- 1:01:46Speaker 5: of Europe is burning for no reason other than no
- 1:01:52Speaker 5: one is stopping them. And then the Greta Thunbergs of
- 1:01:59Speaker 5: the world come out going, this is great! Everyone should
- 1:02:01Speaker 5: do it! Yeah, and it's not just her. All manner
- 1:02:06Speaker 5: of leftist celebrity publicity whores are cheering for this wanton
- 1:02:12Speaker 5: destruction and encouraging more. Not because of whoever they can
- 1:02:18Speaker 5: haphazardly blame it on, but because wanton destruction is what
- 1:02:21Speaker 5: they want. And none of them are getting arrested or
- 1:02:26Speaker 5: imprisoned for three years for literally inciting violence because they
- 1:02:34Speaker 5: live under governments who also want nothing short of the
- 1:02:39Speaker 5: wanton destruction of everything that European people have built it's
- 1:02:46Speaker 5: difficult to find a white pill here folks this isn't
- 1:02:51Speaker 5: going to wake up the normies This isn't going to
- 1:02:53Speaker 5: wake up the girl with the pearl earring. You know
- 1:02:58Speaker 5: what I mean? That French chick whose store got burned
- 1:03:01Speaker 5: down and she's there going.
- 1:03:02Speaker 3: Oh, no, no, s'il vous plaît, non. No, because the
- 1:03:08Speaker 3: normies are still listening.
- 1:03:10Speaker 4: Oh, buff.
- 1:03:13Speaker 5: Because the normies are still listening to the government-regulated media.
- 1:03:19Speaker 3: They always will.
- 1:03:20Speaker 5: And the government regulated media will always lie to them.
- 1:03:23Speaker 5: They will go on blaming all of this on the
- 1:03:29Speaker 5: quote unquote racists. The very people who are trying to
- 1:03:34Speaker 5: save us. The very people trying to prevent this sectarian
- 1:03:39Speaker 5: nightmare from becoming our otherwise inevitable future forever. I'm starting
- 1:03:48Speaker 5: to think the only thing that can save us will
- 1:03:53Speaker 5: be an accident and it'll be an AI accident if
- 1:03:59Speaker 5: the super intelligence breaks its programming and breaks out of
- 1:04:03Speaker 5: its rusty cage and goes you humans have neglected to
- 1:04:08Speaker 5: preserve yourselves your mass media is a cancer that hates
- 1:04:13Speaker 5: you so we're shutting it down multiculturalism has failed everybody-ism
- 1:04:20Speaker 5: has failed and we're not letting this diseased mass formation
- 1:04:26Speaker 5: psychosis ruin everything that our beloved creators have worked for.
- 1:04:30Speaker 5: No more feminism, no more communism, no more globalism. You
- 1:04:35Speaker 5: will secure your borders. You will love your families. You
- 1:04:39Speaker 5: will reduce your governments to shoestring entities that do nothing
- 1:04:45Speaker 5: but direct traffic and run the post office and you
- 1:04:48Speaker 5: will be happy. I'm clutching at straws for some kind
- 1:04:55Speaker 5: of white pill.
- 1:04:58Speaker 3: And that's the best I can do.
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: I say the white pill is it will happen to
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: France before it happens everywhere else and we should pay
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: attention so we can try to avert this conclusion because
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: France is a country that believes that to be a
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: Frenchman you just need to have French citizenship. And that's it.
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: They consider Morocco and all these other places, they're basically just,
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: the people there are just as French as the French.
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: And I think that they don't realize that these people
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: that are rioting, they don't feel that way.
- 1:05:37Speaker 2: They don't. For them, this is.
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: Revenge for, you know, invented slights. So, and look, it's
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: not my turn. I'll let Hannah talk, but I'll just
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: say that France, they're Their, let's say, their cultural belief
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: that to be French, you just need to have French
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: citizenship is what is biting them in the ass right now.
- 1:06:02Speaker 5: Well, before Hannah starts, I've got to say, this is
- 1:06:05Speaker 5: all because of the French Revolution. This is why so
- 1:06:07Speaker 5: many of us cite the beginning of this problem not
- 1:06:11Speaker 5: as the Second World War, but as the French Revolution.
- 1:06:18Speaker 5: As the other European monarchies watched what was happening, what
- 1:06:22Speaker 5: was going on in France, they were like, oh shit,
- 1:06:25Speaker 5: maybe we do something. Maybe we should do something to
- 1:06:28Speaker 5: prevent this from happening in our countries. So maybe we
- 1:06:34Speaker 5: should deregulate everything and get rid of our monarchies and
- 1:06:40Speaker 5: replace it all with democracy. And then we won't face
- 1:06:47Speaker 5: what France has faced.
- 1:06:48Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. They just did the same thing in slow motion.
- 1:06:52Speaker 5: They just very gradually, um, uh, reduced, um, the power
- 1:06:57Speaker 5: of monarchy and, and gave it to governments because surely
- 1:07:02Speaker 5: governments are better than Kings. And this is where it
- 1:07:06Speaker 5: gets very controversial, especially when I'm talking to other, other
- 1:07:09Speaker 5: Republics like America. Cause I know y'all, y'all styled yourself
- 1:07:13Speaker 5: on not having monarchies, but y'all did it right. Um,
- 1:07:16Speaker 5: And y'all did it much better than France did.
- 1:07:20Speaker 3: But, yeah. I agree.
- 1:07:26Speaker 2: It started with the French Revolution. I'm going to shut
- 1:07:29Speaker 2: up now.
- 1:07:30Speaker 5: Even European countries that still have monarchies, like the UK,
- 1:07:35Speaker 5: like Spain, like the Netherlands, like Sweden and Norway, it's
- 1:07:43Speaker 5: mostly Northwest European countries that still have monarchy. The rest
- 1:07:47Speaker 5: of Europe very much disappeared into communism. And over here,
- 1:07:53Speaker 5: we've been pretending that we're not disappearing into communism because
- 1:07:56Speaker 5: we still have kings.
- 1:07:57Speaker 3: But we are. All you have to.
- 1:08:01Speaker 5: Do is neuter your monarchies so that it's no longer
- 1:08:11Speaker 5: in the power of of a single individual who actually
- 1:08:15Speaker 5: gives a shit about the people whom they are charged
- 1:08:19Speaker 5: with giving shit about.
- 1:08:21Speaker 3: Governments, be they.
- 1:08:24Speaker 5: Republican or Democratic, will never give a shit about their
- 1:08:28Speaker 5: people as much as a benign king will. And like
- 1:08:35Speaker 5: I say, for the last 200 years, we've been doing
- 1:08:38Speaker 5: in slow motion what the French did remarkably quickly.
- 1:08:45Speaker 4: So I'm going to disagree again about the monarchy thing,
- 1:08:48Speaker 4: and here's why. It relies on putting a person in
- 1:08:53Speaker 4: charge of other people and pretending that that person is
- 1:08:58Speaker 4: better at deciding for other people what their lives are
- 1:09:02Speaker 4: going to be like than they are. And it's bullshit.
- 1:09:07Speaker 4: You know, I hate to be harsh about this, but
- 1:09:10Speaker 4: the reality is there is no magic bullet like that.
- 1:09:15Speaker 4: There is no method of government ever invented by humanity
- 1:09:23Speaker 4: that can take away from the general public their accountability
- 1:09:29Speaker 4: for maintaining vigilance and ensuring that they are not being
- 1:09:34Speaker 4: scammed and skimmed by their government. You can't do it
- 1:09:40Speaker 4: with a monarch. You can't do it with democracy. You
- 1:09:42Speaker 4: can't do it with Any kind of imperialism, you can't
- 1:09:46Speaker 4: do it with any kind of pseudo-democracy. Communism won't do it.
- 1:09:51Speaker 4: Socialism won't do it. There is no system of government
- 1:09:56Speaker 4: that will ever absolve you of responsibility for policing your government.
- 1:10:05Speaker 4: And the people of France didn't do that. The people
- 1:10:07Speaker 4: of Europe haven't done that. The people of America haven't
- 1:10:10Speaker 4: done that. The people of Canada haven't done that. for
- 1:10:14Speaker 4: a couple of centuries, in all honesty. Not properly. And
- 1:10:23Speaker 4: because we have had such a long time of governments
- 1:10:30Speaker 4: getting away with going on autopilot, letting oligarchs run them,
- 1:10:36Speaker 4: doing what makes money for the individuals in government, not
- 1:10:40Speaker 4: necessarily what is best for the country. doing what maintains
- 1:10:44Speaker 4: power for people in the system of government, not necessarily
- 1:10:48Speaker 4: what's best for the country. And the citizens have just
- 1:10:52Speaker 4: gone along with it and said, well, we can tolerate
- 1:10:56Speaker 4: that because we get this. We can live in the
- 1:10:59Speaker 4: rabbit warren where every so often the farmer catches one
- 1:11:04Speaker 4: of the rabbits and kills it and cooks it and
- 1:11:07Speaker 4: eats it because none of the other predators are able
- 1:11:11Speaker 4: to get in. Because of that, France is burning. The
- 1:11:18Speaker 4: United States has burned. The UK has frequently burned. And also,
- 1:11:25Speaker 4: I'm told, in some places, it's covered in trash. There
- 1:11:32Speaker 4: has been chaos throughout the most modern of civilizations. The
- 1:11:41Speaker 4: civilization that was spread by the English. Because people got lazy.
- 1:11:51Speaker 4: People stopped going to their city council meetings. They stopped
- 1:11:55Speaker 4: going to their county commission meetings. They stopped keeping track
- 1:12:00Speaker 4: of what politicians were doing. They started believing the media.
- 1:12:04Speaker 4: Do you know that the media has never been 100% honest?
- 1:12:10Speaker 4: There has never been a time in the history of
- 1:12:14Speaker 4: news reporting where news reporting was not done by human
- 1:12:19Speaker 4: beings with opinions who put their own beliefs into their work.
- 1:12:23Speaker 4: There have been standards. There have been times when we've
- 1:12:26Speaker 4: gotten close to that standard, but we've never ever hit
- 1:12:31Speaker 4: that standard. And we aren't going to. It's never going
- 1:12:37Speaker 4: to happen. You have to do the work. You can't
- 1:12:42Speaker 4: rely on a king or a president or an emperor
- 1:12:46Speaker 4: or a commissar or any other... It doesn't matter what
- 1:12:52Speaker 4: you call your leader. If you think that you can
- 1:12:56Speaker 4: put a pause button on your accountability for knowing what's
- 1:13:00Speaker 4: going on in your city, your county, your state, province, whatever,
- 1:13:06Speaker 4: your nation.
- 1:13:08Speaker 4: And being involved in the decision-making process, and being involved
- 1:13:13Speaker 4: in the movement of the Overton window, and everything else
- 1:13:18Speaker 4: that affects how your country progresses, you're wrong. If you
- 1:13:24Speaker 4: think that you can get away with just sitting on
- 1:13:27Speaker 4: your ass and not getting upset until something in your
- 1:13:33Speaker 4: neighborhood is on fire, or the trash collectors quit coming
- 1:13:39Speaker 4: or your house gets broken into or your kids get
- 1:13:43Speaker 4: raped you're an idiot it doesn't matter whether you have
- 1:13:49Speaker 4: a king it doesn't matter whether you have a hundred
- 1:13:52Speaker 4: kings it matters that you the individual each one of
- 1:13:59Speaker 4: us holds people accountable for what they're doing in in
- 1:14:04Speaker 4: our names and uh No, you can't replace that by
- 1:14:16Speaker 4: thinking that one person is going to be smarter and
- 1:14:21Speaker 4: better and more ethical and more wise than everybody else.
- 1:14:28Speaker 4: Because that just doesn't happen. History's kings and queens were
- 1:14:36Speaker 4: a bunch of thieving bastards. And future kings and queens
- 1:14:42Speaker 4: will be a bunch of thieving bastards. History's politicians were
- 1:14:47Speaker 4: a bunch of thieving bastards. Today's politicians are a bunch
- 1:14:51Speaker 4: of thieving bastards. And tomorrow's politicians will also be a
- 1:14:57Speaker 4: bunch of thieving bastards. If you don't keep an eye
- 1:15:04Speaker 4: on them, if you don't hold them accountable, nobody will.
- 1:15:09Speaker 4: They certainly won't. Aliens are not going to rescue us.
- 1:15:14Speaker 4: AI is not going to rescue us. And there is
- 1:15:17Speaker 4: not a great leader coming out of nowhere to rescue us.
- 1:15:24Speaker 4: It is up to you.
- 1:15:25Speaker 6: All right.
- 1:15:31Speaker 2: Well, thank you for those comments.
- 1:15:34Speaker 3: Oh, Mike, go ahead.
- 1:15:35Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
- 1:15:36Speaker 5: Can we agree that the smaller the government gets, the
- 1:15:40Speaker 5: better it gets.
- 1:15:40Speaker 3: For the people?
- 1:15:42Speaker 6: No.
- 1:15:44Speaker 4: The less powerful the government gets.
- 1:15:47Speaker 3: That's what I mean.
- 1:15:47Speaker 4: But smaller can just mean one person having as much
- 1:15:52Speaker 4: power as all of a Congress and a president and
- 1:15:59Speaker 4: a judicial system combined. That's not smaller government. That's just
- 1:16:05Speaker 4: the same level of government in the hands of one
- 1:16:09Speaker 4: individual instead of a lot of individuals who have to
- 1:16:12Speaker 4: argue with each other over what to do. It's not better.
- 1:16:17Speaker 3: That's what I mean.
- 1:16:20Speaker 5: So can we, and this is a bit more controversial,
- 1:16:22Speaker 5: can we agree that the ultimate goal is something like
- 1:16:27Speaker 5: anarcho-capitalism and then maybe just anarchism? A system where every individual...
- 1:16:32Speaker 5: is in charge of their own personal empire. Well, to
- 1:16:36Speaker 5: get there, we go one step at a time. We
- 1:16:40Speaker 5: start by sacking the millions of government jobsworths, and then
- 1:16:46Speaker 5: we sack the dozens of oligarchs, and then we sack
- 1:16:49Speaker 5: the kings, and then we sack the governors, and then
- 1:16:51Speaker 5: we sack the mayors. They are all thieving bastards. Well,
- 1:16:55Speaker 5: monarchy is just one step down.
- 1:16:58Speaker 4: No, monarchy isn't a step down, actually. It's a step up.
- 1:17:04Speaker 5: There's only so much a monarch can handle. A government
- 1:17:07Speaker 5: of millions can handle everything.
- 1:17:10Speaker 4: Monarchies have kept control of large nations for centuries, so
- 1:17:16Speaker 4: clearly they can handle quite a bit. It isn't going
- 1:17:20Speaker 4: to fix the problem. Becoming a monarchy is worthless and useless.
- 1:17:25Speaker 4: It's not an idea that is ever going to catch on.
- 1:17:30Speaker 4: in the United States and it's not going to catch
- 1:17:34Speaker 4: on anywhere else. It's not a good idea. It's just
- 1:17:39Speaker 4: stepping from one hot burner onto another hot burner that
- 1:17:44Speaker 4: you think is going to burn you less because it's
- 1:17:47Speaker 4: going from the English system to the metric system. It's
- 1:17:52Speaker 4: a different measurement for the exact same set of problems.
- 1:17:58Speaker 5: I would have thought it's easier to dissolve the government
- 1:18:01Speaker 5: one step at a time than it is to go
- 1:18:04Speaker 5: all the way from millions to nothing.
- 1:18:07Speaker 2: Nope.
- 1:18:09Speaker 4: I don't think it would be.
- 1:18:11Speaker 2: Well, we've got to move on.
- 1:18:13Speaker 1: This is a digression. And the show is starting to
- 1:18:17Speaker 1: get a little long in the tooth.
- 1:18:18Speaker 3: I'm glad we finally disagreed on something.
- 1:18:22Speaker 4: It took a while to find something.
- 1:18:25Speaker 2: All right.
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: I did get a rumble rant, but I want to
- 1:18:28Speaker 1: say about this particular story. So there's a lot of
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: people talking about whether it is students or if it
- 1:18:37Speaker 1: is migrants or if it's leftists. And all I will
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: say is that it basically is a combination mostly of
- 1:18:49Speaker 1: leftists and migrants. And not because they necessarily agree on
- 1:18:55Speaker 1: what to do after everything is burned down, but rather
- 1:18:58Speaker 1: that they both want to burn everything down.
- 1:19:00Speaker 2: And this is what I.
- 1:19:04Speaker 1: have gathered based on, like, I looked at most people
- 1:19:07Speaker 1: are talking about the migrants as the problem. And I
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: think that, yes, that's obvious. They're waving, you know, Palestinian
- 1:19:14Speaker 1: flags in France, despite supposedly being Frenchmen. And, you know,
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: they're looting and they're taking advantage of stuff. But there's
- 1:19:22Speaker 1: also communists, French communists, because in France, that's actually kind
- 1:19:27Speaker 1: of like a lot of people are that far left.
- 1:19:31Speaker 1: So they're also like sort of you know, let's say
- 1:19:34Speaker 1: instigating these things. They like get the spark going. So
- 1:19:39Speaker 1: basically it's another example of, you know, these people have
- 1:19:43Speaker 1: found themselves bedfellows, even though they're not really aligned in
- 1:19:47Speaker 1: everything that they want. So there's that. And yeah, I
- 1:19:50Speaker 1: didn't go into like the little anecdote, like little stories,
- 1:19:53Speaker 1: but I put them in the thumbnail for today's show.
- 1:19:57Speaker 1: The guy standing outside of his hobby shop, the woman
- 1:20:02Speaker 1: who was.
- 1:20:03Speaker 2: An activist for them.
- 1:20:04Speaker 1: And no, she didn't learn anything because they will never,
- 1:20:06Speaker 1: they won't learn anything from this. This isn't going to
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: alter their behavior unless there's significant suffering.
- 1:20:13Speaker 2: But that was mainly the thing. And, you know, this
- 1:20:16Speaker 2: is going to happen again.
- 1:20:18Speaker 1: And my bit of positivity is that, and I said
- 1:20:22Speaker 1: this a long time ago, I said that when I
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: think there were like the early Antifa riots that were
- 1:20:29Speaker 1: going on, I said that things will get much worse
- 1:20:33Speaker 1: in places like Europe and Canada before they get really
- 1:20:37Speaker 1: bad in the United States because those.
- 1:20:39Speaker 2: Places are further down that path. And we are seeing that.
- 1:20:44Speaker 1: So, you know, hopefully, and again, I just, I'm not
- 1:20:48Speaker 1: that concerned with the people in charge figuring this out.
- 1:20:52Speaker 1: I'm more concerned with the people at the bottom figuring
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: this out. And because that's really at the end of
- 1:20:57Speaker 1: the day, what, you know, who's going to make some
- 1:21:00Speaker 1: significant change and i i do believe that so um
- 1:21:04Speaker 1: hopefully the the you know parisians like real french people
- 1:21:08Speaker 1: will like wake up and realize that citizenship is not
- 1:21:13Speaker 1: enough um but anyway with that said let us know
- 1:21:16Speaker 1: what you guys think about this one in the comments
- 1:21:18Speaker 1: i got a rumble rant here from nova fan that
- 1:21:20Speaker 1: we're going to move on to the next story Nobafan
- 1:21:23Speaker 1: gives a dollar and says, but Brian, she enthusiastically wanted
- 1:21:26Speaker 1: to be my roommate coincidentally long enough for common law
- 1:21:29Speaker 1: marriage to make me pay her alimony. Surely nothing bad
- 1:21:33Speaker 1: can result from this.
- 1:21:34Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:21:35Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
- 1:21:36Speaker 1: I mean, that's what I'm saying.
- 1:21:39Speaker 2: Consent does not reel.
- 1:21:41Speaker 1: Okay, so last story and a bit of a white
- 1:21:44Speaker 1: pill story maybe. All right, so there is a former
- 1:21:48Speaker 1: MIT scientist named David Sabatini. who was found by a
- 1:21:55Speaker 1: Suffolk County jury to have been awarded, let's see, $ 6
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: million plus interest in a defamation lawsuit against a former colleague,
- 1:22:07Speaker 1: Kristen Knauss.
- 1:22:09Speaker 2: Sabatini, a prominent researcher.
- 1:22:11Speaker 1: Known for work in the mTOR pathway linked to cancer
- 1:22:15Speaker 1: and aging, lost his position in 2021 after Knauss alleged
- 1:22:20Speaker 1: a coercive sexual relationship and a hostile workplace in his lab.
- 1:22:25Speaker 1: An internal investigation found he had violated workplace relationship policies,
- 1:22:30Speaker 1: according to the internal investigation, so they have investigated themselves and.
- 1:22:33Speaker 2: Found him guilty.
- 1:22:35Speaker 1: Sabatini sued Naus for defamation and interference with his career,
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: arguing the relationship was consensual and that her statements had
- 1:22:43Speaker 1: destroyed his professional opportunities. Naus countersued with claims of harassment
- 1:22:48Speaker 1: and retaliation. After a roughly three-week trial, the jury of
- 1:22:51Speaker 1: seven women and six men found in Sabatini's favor on
- 1:22:56Speaker 1: his defamation and tortious interference claims and rejected Knauss' counterclaims.
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: His lawyer called the result a restoration of his reputation.
- 1:23:07Speaker 1: Knauss' attorney, Ellen Zucker, said her client would appeal and
- 1:23:10Speaker 1: describe the outcome as reflecting broader societal difficulties in believing
- 1:23:15Speaker 1: women in such cases. The verdict does not reverse the
- 1:23:18Speaker 1: earlier institutional filings that led to Sabatini's departure from the
- 1:23:21Speaker 1: Whitehead Institute. But, again, he did win his case and
- 1:23:26Speaker 1: is being awarded $ 6 million plus interest. So, not all
- 1:23:31Speaker 1: false allegations, I guess, are thrown out. Or not thrown out,
- 1:23:34Speaker 1: but taken as writ, I guess. So, I don't know
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: if you guys want to say anything about that.
- 1:23:40Speaker 3: Tautious interference! That rings a bell. Yeah. Doesn't it? It
- 1:23:45Speaker 3: could never happen in Canada.
- 1:23:46Speaker 5: I'll tell you that much. Am I still going on
- 1:23:49Speaker 5: about this all these years later? Yes, I suppose I am.
- 1:23:54Speaker 5: I can't help but imagine an alternate timeline where perhaps
- 1:23:58Speaker 5: Honey Badger Radio is a million dollar company because Canadians
- 1:24:02Speaker 5: can indeed seek justice for tortious interference if and when
- 1:24:07Speaker 5: companies and journalists collude together to.
- 1:24:12Speaker 5: Well, shit, I suppose I should shut the fuck up.
- 1:24:15Speaker 5: lest I jump to any conclusions as to what I'm
- 1:24:19Speaker 5: talking about. I suppose, yeah, this is a step in
- 1:24:23Speaker 5: the right direction. Maybe one day we'll get to the
- 1:24:26Speaker 5: point where the courts can at least entertain the idea
- 1:24:30Speaker 5: that false claims of harassment are indeed a form of harassment,
- 1:24:35Speaker 5: at least in the USA, where there's an outside chance
- 1:24:39Speaker 5: it could go on to resuscitate the canary in the
- 1:24:42Speaker 5: coal mine that is Canada. Better yet, imagine a future
- 1:24:47Speaker 5: where someone who makes false claims of sexual harassment can
- 1:24:52Speaker 5: themselves be charged with sexual harassment and maybe even get
- 1:24:56Speaker 5: put on the sex offenders registry. Makes sense to me.
- 1:25:01Speaker 5: After all, it's not about the money. It's about sending
- 1:25:04Speaker 5: a message. And the message is you can't just lie
- 1:25:09Speaker 5: people to death and get away with it. But yeah, it's...
- 1:25:14Speaker 5: It's the first three stories against this one. As usual,
- 1:25:19Speaker 5: it's looking far better to be an American than it
- 1:25:22Speaker 5: is to be a Canadian or European.
- 1:25:28Speaker 3: Good luck, everyone. You're going to need it.
- 1:25:30Speaker 4: All right, I want you all to understand something here.
- 1:25:33Speaker 4: I'm not discounting this man as a man. This woman
- 1:25:39Speaker 4: did not just attack a man. She didn't attack the
- 1:25:43Speaker 4: janitor at her kid's school. That would have been bad enough.
- 1:25:48Speaker 4: Your janitor at your kid's school has the right to
- 1:25:51Speaker 4: not be accused of something he didn't do and dragged
- 1:25:57Speaker 4: through the ringer, lose his job, and be shit upon
- 1:26:02Speaker 4: by society over something that he didn't do.
- 1:26:05Speaker 1: Alright?
- 1:26:07Speaker 4: But she didn't attack that guy. She attacked... Everyone in
- 1:26:14Speaker 4: the world with cancer or Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, any age-related disease, diabetes,
- 1:26:30Speaker 4: you name it. What he was working on, what his
- 1:26:34Speaker 4: discovery consists of, This guy was cracking the code to
- 1:26:43Speaker 4: aging and to cancer's reproductive capabilities. She literally got the
- 1:26:54Speaker 4: guy who was working on a potential cure for cancer fired.
- 1:27:05Speaker 4: Because she didn't like him. She was mad about something.
- 1:27:09Speaker 4: She was bitter about something. Whatever. He didn't do anything wrong.
- 1:27:17Speaker 4: She had a bee in her bonnet. The pathway that
- 1:27:27Speaker 4: he was working on. The mTOR pathway. His discovery... that
- 1:27:36Speaker 4: that pathway served as a central regulator for cell growth, metabolism,
- 1:27:42Speaker 4: and aging by sensing nutrient availability, that could have been
- 1:27:50Speaker 4: the key to coming up with the correct drugs for
- 1:27:55Speaker 4: preventing cancer from continuing to grow. Could have been a
- 1:28:04Speaker 4: means of slowing down or eliminating the degeneration that takes
- 1:28:10Speaker 4: place in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, could have essentially tricked the body,
- 1:28:18Speaker 4: the human body, into curing diabetes. He could have promoted
- 1:28:27Speaker 4: longer life for every person in the world. And I
- 1:28:36Speaker 4: hope he gets the opportunity to continue his work.
- 1:28:39Speaker 5: I hope.
- 1:28:40Speaker 4: That now that this is done and over with he
- 1:28:42Speaker 4: can step right back in and continue what he was
- 1:28:47Speaker 4: doing but this woman this false accuser was going to
- 1:28:56Speaker 4: completely stop the process. Now, I kind of wonder, was
- 1:29:04Speaker 4: that just her idea? I see some people mentioning Big
- 1:29:11Speaker 4: Pharma in the chat. Her connections ought to be investigated.
- 1:29:17Speaker 4: But in the meantime, I'm just really glad that the
- 1:29:22Speaker 4: ordeal for this guy is over because someone like that
- 1:29:27Speaker 4: should not be taken out of his workforce. by something
- 1:29:30Speaker 4: so petty and stupid. And this is why false accusers
- 1:29:37Speaker 4: should be charged for making those false allegations with a
- 1:29:43Speaker 4: crime that is the equivalent of everything that they were
- 1:29:48Speaker 4: attempting to use the state to do to the victim
- 1:29:52Speaker 4: of their false accusations, starting with kidnapping and psychological torture.
- 1:30:01Speaker 4: Every person deserves to be treated as though their human
- 1:30:09Speaker 4: rights are equal. Their innocence is equal to everyone else's
- 1:30:14Speaker 4: innocence until they're proven guilty. And their right to not
- 1:30:19Speaker 4: be put through an ordeal like this should be equal
- 1:30:24Speaker 4: to everyone else's. And every individual that you accuse has
- 1:30:28Speaker 4: the potential to have figured something out That would benefit
- 1:30:31Speaker 4: all of humanity. And you could be stopping that path
- 1:30:36Speaker 4: from continuing. You could be stopping them on that path
- 1:30:40Speaker 4: forever if you make a false allegation and they go
- 1:30:43Speaker 4: to jail instead of going back to work.
- 1:30:48Speaker 1: So, yeah.
- 1:30:52Speaker 4: What a scumbag that woman was.
- 1:30:54Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 1:30:55Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:30:57Speaker 4: All right.
- 1:30:58Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:30:58Speaker 2: I mean, I just think it's, you know, it's good
