The Disgusting "Call Her Daddy" Brand of Female Empowerment, and JD Vance's Important Comment on Men, with Sean Davis and Sohrab Ahmari | Ep. 1411
103m 39s
Megyn Kelly delivers a critical analysis of the Cornell 7 case, arguing that the appointment of Attorney General Letitia James as special prosecutor represents a politically motivated, unfair intervention. She highlights that four of the seven men admitted to sexual contact with the alleged victim, while others claimed consent was given, undermining the claim of widespread non-consent. Kelly strongly criticizes James for publicly affirming the victim’s allegations without conducting a fact-based investigation, calling it a violation of prosecutorial ethics. She points out that the victim’s narrative shifted dramatically after the incident, suggesting a pattern of post-event trauma and reclamation of victim status. Kelly warns that changing New York’s laws to criminalize consensual sex under intoxication would create a dangerous precedent, disproportionately targeting men and eroding personal agency. She also critiques the broader sexual culture, especially among progressive influencers, for normalizing promiscuity and victim-blaming, leading to a society where personal responsibility is lost. The episode underscores a moral panic where accountability is absent, and victims are used to justify punitive outcomes. Ultimately, Kelly argues that the case reflects a deeper cultural failure—where consent, agency, and morality are distorted by ideology, resulting in unjust consequences for young men and a harmful narrative for women. She emphasizes that true reform requires cultural shifts in values, not legal overreach.
Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111, every weekday at noon east.
Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show and happy Friday.
We have breaking news this morning on the Cornell 7 case.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul, who, I mean, this woman is a joke.
I cannot believe that she is governor of one of the greatest states in the union.
She is a pathetic, feckless, weakling activist who is such an offense to me and to womankind.
I just, I cannot believe she is the governor of New York.
And she's now appointed someone even more abhorrent and hateful than she is, Letitia James, our attorney general in New York, as special prosecutor in this case.
And what that means is these boys are effed.
That's what it means.
Because the original DA in Ithaca, New York, who was going to take this to a grand jury and let a jury in Ithaca decide whether charges were appropriate,
P.S. they're not, has now had this case stolen from him and given to a partisan hack.
Letitia James of Trump indictment fame, of Trump.
Harassment fame.
The one who tried to bankrupt him and said she had her eyes on his buildings, basically salivating at the thought of taking his hard-earned fortune away from him back when he was in his downtime between his two presidential terms.
She's a villain.
I've got more on her for you in a second.
Can we talk about picky eaters for a second?
If you've got a kid who survives on basically three foods, I want to share an easy way.
I want to share an easy way to help fill their nutritional gaps.
It's a tasteless, colorless vitamin powder called Ela-Ola.
Mealtime with kids can be stressful, like an endless negotiation, but Ela-Ola can change the game.
It's not a gummy or a chewable.
You just mix one packet a day right into whatever they're already eating or drinking.

They genuinely cannot detect it at all.
Ela-Ola was developed with pediatricians and delivers 19 essential vitamins and minerals plus nutrients.

But first, there's a lot happening.
A stunning report in the New York Times that reveals what the Chi-5 fraternity brothers told university investigators.
Four of the seven admitted to sexual contact with the alleged victim.
We knew that.
There were three threesomes over the course of the evening involving a total of four men.
Then there are seven total, so there are three other men.
Who were in that room at some point that night, but did not have sex with this woman and are denying anything non-consensual.
And so are the ones who did the threesomes with her.
They're all saying that there was nothing that was non-consensual.
To the contrary, they are saying she did consent.
And the majority of those interviewed during this proceeding also said,
that Jane Doe did not even appear intoxicated.
One fraternity brother, Jillia Lopes, whose attorney appeared on this show yesterday,
and yes, it is Lopes, spelled L-O-P-E-S,
said that it was the alleged victim who initiated sexual contact with him,
without his consent, that it was not asked for.
And I'm not sure whether he's claiming he didn't consent.
He's just saying she didn't ask for it.
According to the New York Times.
But you didn't hear any of that from this morning's press conference with Hochul and James.
And not just, I mean, you didn't hear about any of the exonerating information about these boys.
Here's Hochul describing what she says happened.
And according to new reports, she could not have been clearer that she was 100% confident that she had been raped.
Yet, shockingly, those words never made it into the.
Account that the Cornell police sent to prosecutors.
The attorney general then declined to pursue charges after reviewing that incomplete account and never interviewing her.
Think about that.
In what world would the police learn from a victim that she'd been literally gang raped while intoxicated by five men in a fraternity house
and not elevate those allegations to the district attorney?
In what world is the district?
Attorney not even interview her or anyone else involved or even request the full transcript.
This woman, this young woman had already endured something that is utterly unspeakable.
And that at every turn, she was failed by people and institutions with an obligation to protect her.
Way to keep an open mind, you utter hack.
This is so irresponsible for the governor of the state.
In which these boys are now almost certainly going to get charged to be using rhetoric like that,
announcing in advance that she's the victim, that the system had an obligation to protect her and it failed.
Fuck off, you absolute hack.
This is so irresponsible.
Imagine your son gets accused by somebody on a college campus and the governor of the state comes out and announces him guilty.
Before there's even been a.
Grand jury impaneled.
This is so wrong.
Despite being selective with how she describes the case, Hochul promises us, promises us that Letitia James, she's super ready to follow the facts.
Watch this.
And that is why I'm invoking the power conferred to me as the governor of the state of New York to enlist Attorney General James as an independent special prosecutor in this case.
She'll follow the facts.
She'll examine the evidence.
Will she?
And go wherever it leads.
And if the evidence supports criminal charges, she will pursue them.
No institution gets to protect its reputation at the expense of a young person seeking justice.
No public official gets to look the other way when the system breaks down and fails our young people.
OK, first of all, how tall is Tish James?
She looks like Andre the Giant next to a little.
Lilliputian.
That that visual was actually kind of shocking.
Honestly, Kathy Hochul looks like she's about four foot nine.
And Tish James looks like what's his name?
The the basketball player who's a web web something.
He's so tall.
He's like seven foot four and he's still growing.
It's great.
I don't.
Wemba Yama.
Thank you.
Bizarre physical dynamic.
Whatever.
So Hochul did not have a good answer.
You'll be shocked.
Learn on why why on earth Tish James can be trusted to fairly helm this case, given that she Tish James has already pronounced these young men guilty.
Hold on.
This is what she said.
OK, before we play the soundbite of the reporter asking Hochul, this is what A.G.
James posted last week, I think, or within the past few days, quote, What this young woman has been forced to endure.
Is horrific.
Forced.
What do you.
She's got her mind made up and unacceptable.
I'm holding her in my heart and in my prayers.
What if she is a liar?
Ms. James, what if you should be holding the young men in your heart?
Because while they definitely behaved promiscuously that night and the ones who joined in that text were gross, it is very uncertain whether any single one of them violated the sex laws in any way.
Way, shape or form.
Why aren't you holding them in your heart and prayers to her and to all survivors?
You're not alone.
We stand with you explicitly.
I stand with her.
This is this is so fucked up.
That's the woman who's now going to decide whether charges are brought against the Cornell seven.
The fix is in.
These guys are effed.
And here's.
One honest reporter.
We tried to figure out who it was, but couldn't.
Who actually asked Kathy Hochul and James how they can possibly be fair, given their statements around this case.
Attorney General, on your Facebook page three days ago, you wrote what this young woman has been forced to endure is horrific and unacceptable.
I'm holding her in my heart and in my prayers to her and to all survivors.
You're not alone.
We stand with you.
But why did you affirm her allegations as fact without doing your own fact finding investigation?
TO THE GOVERNOR, "WHY DID YOU APPOINT AN OFFICIAL
"WHO MADE A PUBLIC STATEMENT
statement affirming those allegations as fact, as someone who's supposed to be doing an
investigation? I will answer that. I have every confidence in our attorney general to do what she
has always done. Look at the facts, examine the record, and draw the proper conclusions. That's
exactly what's going to happen in this case. Attorney General, please. I will not comment
on a Facebook post. Oh, but you'll make the Facebook post. You're the one who made the
Facebook post. She's acting like, oh, just some random person on X says something controversial.
Why would I comment on that? You got on there, Tish James, and rushed to judgment before we'd
even convened a grand jury, before the DA had even gotten that grand jury going in Ithaca,
New York. What do you mean? Oh, you're taking the high road. I will not comment. But you made
the Facebook post, so you must comment on it. You've revealed that you have chosen a side
in this case.
A prosecutor's obligation is to seek justice, not to choose one side or the other when we are at
the allegation phase. It's to seek justice. And if justice requires no charges be brought,
or even charges that have been brought get dropped, that's what a prosecutor's ethical
obligation is. Or she could be disbarred. She could actually be disbarred. Ask Mike Nifong,
who talked about him yesterday, the DA in the fake Duke rape case.
Why did he lose his license? Because he did not seek justice at every turn as evidence of
exoneration of the boys. Not just that would cast doubt on their guilt, but actual exoneration,
like I mentioned to you yesterday, with the five different men's semen inside of this woman,
having no connection to Duke La Crosse. Any sane prosecutor, never mind an ethical one,
would have dropped the case. Instead, he didn't. He lost his law license. He served a day in jail
over this. That's where I'd love to see you, Tish James. By the way,
how are your multiple mortgages for your multiple homes that you claimed
were all your primary residence? She's a dishonest hack. She's worse than that governor who walked
around for two years with vaxxed in gold on her necklace, who only got the job because
sex pervert Cuomo got forced out of office. That's the only reason Kathy Hochul became
our governor. She is respected by no one. Yes, she won reelection since then.
The fix is in. These guys' gooses are cooked. And this case now, I mean, I guarantee you,
because Jane Doe, it's actually an interesting legal question. Can Tish James bring the criminal
charges in Manhattan? That's what I was going to say. I guarantee you it'll be brought in Manhattan
where she can get a far left jury. Or must she bring them in Ithaca, New York, if she brings
them at all where the crime took place? Because the plaintiff is now in New York.
New York. I know what the rule would be civilly. She could bring it here because the plaintiff's
here. Criminally, I think it has to be brought in the jurisdiction in which the alleged crime
happened. So she'd have to go up to Ithaca, which is a more conservative place than Manhattan.
Now, this is my territory. This is where I lived. Not Ithaca, but Syracuse and Albany.
That's all upstate New York. That's stretch across from west to east. And I've spent many,
many years of my life there. And trust me when I tell you,
that is what that area of New York and portions of Staten Island and Long Island are what make
New York sometimes elect Republican governors. There are Republicans in the state of New York,
same as there's like Orange County Republicans in California. There's not a ton, but there's
enough that every, you know, we used to have Pataki. As you know, we've had a couple of governors and
state legislators who are Republican because of that territory. So she's not going to like Ithaca,
New York.
You know, these kids have at least a shot up there, though. It's not terrific.
She's a rabid fire breathing hack whose only mission will be to put these kids in jail for
the rest of their lives. I am very worried for them. I am seriously concerned for these seven
young men who appear to have engaged in a night of debauchery sent out in the case of one or two of
them.
Fucking stupid, offensive text messages. Hello. Spend a day on X. I challenge you not to find
multiple of those and now are about to stare down the possibility of decades in prison because of
those two. Women. And here's more. This is Tish James last night, last night on the case just
hours before she was appointed special prosecutor in this case. So let me just say my heart goes out
to the victim, the survivor. And I she goes again her and all individuals who unfortunately have been the victims of sexual assault. And we look forward to the outcome and to ensure that, in fact, justice is served and there's accountability for the survivor.
It's done. Their goose is cooked. She just said it explicitly. She stands with a survivor. Her heart is with the survivor and she's going to find justice for the survivor.
It's done. Her heart is with the survivor. And then she responds, you're right, it'll get better.
And then says, everyone needs to grow up
because sexuality and sex and blank,
it's probably fucking because all the redactions
are done by the news organizations
who don't repeat swears, is changing.
Everyone needs to grow up
because sexuality and sex and blank is changing.
And stuff like this is going to become more common.
I'm also really open-minded though,
then to her alleged rapist
who participated.
Don't forget, they will tell you,
maybe the first one was consensual.
That's not what her team is saying.
They're saying everything was non-consensual.
But the first one, you heard her say,
I really like being with you, John Newell,
and Matt Ingalls.
This is Matt Ingalls, okay?
Matt Ingalls was part of the third threesome too.
And that's the one they really want you to zero in on.
She'd done so much ketamine by that point,
she'd lost all ability to control.
She couldn't possibly have consented.
And what does she say to her rapist?
This is her alleged rapist
who was involved not only in the first one,
but the third one, the most controversial one.
The third one, after all the ketamine
had been given to this young woman
who now, after the fact, says to him,
and I quote,
I love you, King.
I love you, King.
This is after she defended
everyone needs to grow up
because sexuality and sex is changing.
I'm also really open-minded though,
making clear,
okay, others may disagree with me,
but I'm totally cool with this
because I'm this progressive leftist
who's probably listening to the disgusting,
vile, call her daddy podcast
who's telling young women from coast to coast
that they should spread their legs
for any man that wants them
and there will be no consequences.
F these people.
F that woman and her messaging
and the young women who got manipulated by her
into thinking this is what female empowerment looks like.
It's,
it's stomach turning to me.
She's a hero, this woman,
the head of this podcast,
the woman who does it,
Alex Cooper,
a hero to the left.
Who's all these big leftist women and celebrities
who go on that podcast and talk.
It's so fun.
This is the woman who's influenced
young woman like Jane Doe.
Guess what?
There are real life consequences to behaving
in the way this woman did.
And she put it in writing.
Everyone needs to grow up.
Sexuality and sex are changing.
And,
stuff like this is going to become more common.
But I'm also really open-minded.
I love you, King.
To her all night long rapist.
the one who brought all the guys in,
the one she was there at Kai-Fi to see.
She loves him.
Not to mention what happened days later
when Kai-Fi had a Halloween party coming up
and by her own admission,
she was very excited to go.
She was very excited to go back
and see her alleged gang rapists.
Everyone thinks I'm a slut.
Unfortunately, it's true.
Nothing that happened was illegal.
I really liked being with you two.
People have got to adjust their attitudes
because sex and sexuality are changing.
I guess I'm really just open-minded.
I love you, King.
I can't wait to go back to Kai-Fi
for the Halloween party.
Then the president of the fraternity
called her up and said, don't come.
And that is when she got pissed.
That is the day the narrative started changing.
In the meantime, her co-ed roommates
were chatting her up saying,
this was rape.
We've seen this 10,000 times
on university campuses.
The nannering roommates.
It was rape.
You just don't appreciate your trauma.
No, she doesn't.
She doesn't.
And now the cherry on top of the sundae,
the rabid Tish James
gets appointed your special prosecutor.
And this woman is going to let them,
fry.
Her King, who she loves,
she now wants locked up
for the majority of his adult youth.
All of them.
She and her complaint is accusing
even the last three who did not have sex with her
of raping her.
It's outrageous.
This is spinning out of control.
We are in the middle of a moral panic.
Cooler heads must prevail
and pump the brakes on this.
Most of whom were, as if not more,
effed up as Jane Doe on the night in question.
And yet, they all want to rush to save Jane Doe.
Suddenly, everyone is pro-patriarchy.
Everyone.
The patriarchy has an obligation to protect her
from the guys at Sigma or at Chi Phi
to the criminal justice system
where the laws now have to be changed.
That's the latest push.
We have to change the law
because the law in New York,
they know, is no good for her.
If you get hammered and then have sex
and later claim you didn't consent
because you were too hammered to consent,
if you consumed the alcohol voluntarily,
you can't bring charges.
You're not going to be able to make a rape case.
That's her scenario.
So now they want to change the law
to anybody who's voluntarily drunk
or involuntarily intoxicated,
like someone slipped them a Mickey,
can be the victim,
the victim,
the accuser,
or the civil complainant
in a rape or sexual assault case.
Guess what that's going to do?
Don't send your child to college.
Don't allow your male child to go to college
or to ever have sex before he's married.
Every single woman
with a Sunday morning regret
induced by alcohol-fueled sex
that she's then embarrassed about,
every single one of those women
will be converted into a victim,
whether they want to be or not.
There are,
there are feminist writings
about this issue
because sex pest Cuomo
tried to close this so-called loophole.
It's not a loophole in the rape laws.
It's by design
to recognize female empowerment
and the ability to make decisions
to drink
and to have a romp in the hay.
You can thank the leftist feminists for that.
It's not a loophole.
It's there by design
and also to recognize
that we,
we would be expanding the scope
of the criminal law
beyond any measure of containment
if we were to allow criminal charges
to be brought against any man
who had sex with a drunk woman
because you are now rolling out
the red carpet for that woman
to say she was raped.
If she can prove she was drunk,
she can say she didn't consent.
That's a rape.
There's a reason the law says
that guy will have had to slip her a mickey
in order for us to consider that rape
or a woman who proves
that she is physically helpless.
That's the legal standard.
Whether she did it to herself
or the man did it to her,
she can be a rape victim.
But if you just tied one on
because you wanted to get
whatever going that night,
as a woman,
you're allowed to do that?
And previously,
the law in New York State was
we will not treat you like an infant
who's incapable of getting hammered
and then going to bed with a guy
or four.
Because that's not how we view women
in contemporary America.
Now, Kathy Hochul and the likes of her,
Chuck Schumer,
from the look of his statement,
want that undone.
So women are going to be treated
like little babies
who cannot make their own decisions
unless they're at a frat house,
in which case the patriarchy
better step up and take care of her.
This isn't about decency.
I'm raising my boys to stand up,
to look out for women,
to be chivalrous,
to, if they see a situation like this,
be what they call in the grade schools
an upstander
instead of a bystander.
However,
that's different from whether
we are prepared to criminalize,
criminalize it.
And that's what they want.
They want men who refuse
to be our daddies
when we are drunk and having sex
based on our own choices,
men who refuse to be our daddies
and step in there and say,
get off of her,
leave her alone.
I'm going to,
escort her back to the tried out house.
They now are going to be villainized
and they know better.
You see, they know better
because a man who,
when we women go to him
and we say,
hey, we had a couple of drinks,
want to get it on.
I've taken off my clothes
and gone up to your room
in a fraternity house.
Men who say, cool,
they're fucked.
That's it.
They can kiss their freedom goodbye.
If this law changes in New York,
as is now the push.
And by the way,
Cuomo tried to push this through.
It passed the Senate,
didn't get a vote in the assembly.
It got renewed in June of 26,
passed the Senate,
didn't get a vote in the assembly
because there's one holdout
who won't do it.
There are tons of lobbyists
pushing him not to allow it.
And it's all defense lawyers
because they know exactly
what this is going to do
to every male defendant
who has sex
with a woman who might regret the sex.
This is an outrage.
The whole thing is an outrage.
Everything that has happened
in the connection with this case
is an outrage.
What's being done to these boys
is deeply wrong.
It is morally wrong
and it's about to get legally wrong.
Joining me now for reaction,
our U.S. editor of UnHerd,
Sarabha Mari,
and CEO and co-founder
of The Federalist, Sean Davis.
I'm so lit up over this whole thing.
I mean, you tell me, Sean,
am I wrong?
These guys are effed
now that Tish James
is taking this thing over.
No, I don't think you're wrong at all.
I don't think you're wrong at all.
And what's interesting
is how differently
people are processing this
versus, say,
the rape hoax
that Rolling Stone
tried several years ago
or the way people
initially approached
the Duke Lacrosse
hoax allegations.
In those,
that took a long time
and a lot of effort
to get people to come
and understand the truth.
I mean, it took years
to get Nifong
in Durham disbarred
and to get those boys' names cleared
and to get compensation.
The Rolling Stone rape hoax,
that took probably weeks,
maybe months,
to actually get unwound
and shown to be a fake.
This story took, what, a day?
Maybe two days
before everyone with the brain
looked at it
and understood
that it was a total joke.
And I understand
that right now
that's probably
not great solace
for the people
who are being falsely accused again
because I agree with you.
I think they're screwed
because they have a prosecutor
now in New York
who's hell-bent
on putting them in jail.
She's out there
before she's looked
at a single fact
before she's been in jail.
Before having read
a single text
obviously saying they're guilty.
So it's little solace to them.
I actually am a bit heartened
by watching how quickly
and vociferously
and vehemently
people have come out
against this,
noting it's an absolute hoax.
And I'll just be very clear here.
We have got to stop
doing this thing
where people make
terrible, deliberate,
fully clear decisions
about what to do sexually,
feel bad about it rightfully
because being a slut
and being a hoe
is shameful.
It's shameful behavior
and no one should be doing it.
And then retconning
the whole thing days later
when they realize,
oh, that thing that I thought
was going to make me cool
has actually made me a pariah
and then deciding,
oh, it must have been rape.
This sort of nonsense
has to be eradicated
from society
because what it is
actually doing
is creating
a complete lack of accountability for anyone, and it just has to stop.
By the way, my team is telling me that, indeed, the charges would have to be brought in Tompkins
County, Ithaca, New York. So that's better for the young men than Manhattan. And we're looking
up the voter registration there just to see what the political split is. I mean, it's not that
Democrats could not possibly be fair, especially, I will say, upstate New York Democrats. They're
more like Midwestern Democrats. They're not crazy woke, in my experience. And again, I've lived the
majority of my life, my upbringing up there. And so it's better. I mean, thank God this didn't
happen to them in Manhattan. Thank God this all went down in Ithaca, where they have at least a
shot. But make no mistake about it, they're going to get indicted. This woman's going to indict them.
And what we're learning today, Saurabh, is that some of them have already asserted,
because the Title IX proceeding that was held on the grounds of
Cornell did get statements from at least six of the seven defendants. Maybe all seven. What's
been leaked to the media only seemed to say they got six of the seven. Maybe one young man got smart
and had a lawyer who said, we're leaving Cornell and we're not giving a statement because they have
only one goal in mind, which is to ruin you. But in any event, the statements that we are
seeing leaked to The New York Times include questions raised by the young men about,
you know, their own capacity and whether they consented. Lopes, whose lawyer was on this show
yesterday, and it is Lopes, not Lopez, Giglio, said that she was the one who initiated their
sexual conduct. And just to keep it straight, because I know it's difficult, there were three
threesomes. One involved Matt Ingalls, John Newell, and Jane Doe. The second one involved
John Newell, Lopes, and Jane Doe. And Newell was the one who tweeted out the Snapchat or posted
the Snapchat free P word upstairs. And the third one involved Matt Ingalls again, and
Winston Lee was the third guy. So like I said, four men, three encounters. And this guy Lopes
was part of the second encounter who said she initiated the sexual contact and did
not ask for his consent. He said he left the room around 2 a.m. because he had become
uncomfortable. Guys were going in there to sort of take a look at what was going on.
And he didn't like that, I think. And he wound up going to McDonald's. He did not tell his buddies
what had just happened because he was, quote, admittedly a bit embarrassed. Then came Winston
Lee, who was part of the third interlude. He also said that Jane Doe initiated sexual activity with
him without asking. He said he did snort a line of ketamine off her body and that she tried to
initiate sex. Quote, I kind of took a step back because I didn't want to engage in anything like
sex, said Lee. Quote, I thought it wasn't the time for that. But later that night, Mr. Lee said he
asked for Jane Doe's consent before engaging in a threesome with her. He recalled telling Jane Doe
that, quote, if you're uncomfortable with any of this,
or you don't want or you won't want to do this, that is perfectly fine. We can call it a night.
He said Jane Doe replied, we're all consenting adults here. And then there was another comment
where Diego Sarabia, who was accused of having gone into the room and accused of having snorted
a line off of her body, but not have actually been been part of a sex act. He testified he
entered the room after two thirty in the morning. He was shocked by the scene,
unfortunately. He said he didn't want to engage in any of this. He said he didn't want to engage
front of him. There were several fraternity brothers there. One was standing behind Jane Doe.
He said, I was immensely concerned since I've never seen anything like this in my four years
in the house, but his concerns were allayed when, quote, all the people in the room told him to come
in. Quote, I remember the girl in specific saying something along the lines of, this was normal in
the medieval times. This was normal. This is, this is the account that was given to the university
investigators on top of the woman's account, which we know in the six page statement given to the
cops did not accuse the men of forcing her to do anything. And yet I stand with survivors like Jane
Doe. Go ahead, Saurabh. Yeah, this was, first of all, not normal in medieval times, worth noting,
but actually that quote has the ring of truth to it.
Or at least plausibility to me. But look, let's step back here. This is a point that
Sean and I and you, Megan, have made repeatedly about different cases, which is the sexual
culture that led to all of this is a broken sexual culture. It's unhealthy for young men.
It's unhealthy for women. It creates feelings of shame in the women who engage in it after the fact,
et cetera, et cetera. But the way to repair that culture is not to create a system of after the
fact punishment.
That targets one side of the sexual equation and only one side, namely young men, while
basically absolving all responsibility off of young women. You know, the context to all this
is not ketamine and drinking at Chi Phi. In her own lawsuit, Jane Doe lays out a sequence of
drinking activities, and it's her. Her sorority, Tri Delta, had instituted a rule of no hard
alcohol drinking.
In the house of the actual sorority.
Similarly, Cornell itself had instituted a rule saying no drinking and Greek life in their own
houses of hard alcohol. Yet in the Jane Doe complaint, the civil suit, she says the night
began with her drinking Tito's vodka. And then she's trying to sue, among others, Tri Delta,
the sorority, for not noticing that she had.
Drank alcohol and yet taking her to the downtown strip of Ithaca, New York, where a bar had put an X on her hand that indicated she's underage. Yet she drank. Then she went to like a kind of outdoors other party and she got a bracelet that indicated she was underage and yet was still able to get a drink and showed up. And by her own telling in the police statement, she was an intoxication level of, she said, five out of ten by the time she got to Chi Phi.
So my point here in laying out that sequence of drinking is we've set up as much of a kind of patriarchal barriers. But if a young woman is determined to drink and put herself in sexually risky situations at the end of the day, she can. If we want to change the culture, let's change the culture. But it cannot be changed with after the fact punishment of young men. Now, I just want to you mentioned the Title IX hearings at the university itself held.
We at Unheard uncovered, which were not public because they were off the New York docket system. But he, one of the students, the accused, Scott Kirchmar, had sued Cornell, alleging that the process that the university used to convict him of attempted sexual exploitation, that process was defective in all sorts of ways. And I'll give you the example. The headline viewers can find, we called it, inside a rape kangaroo court at Cornell.
did you listen, Sarah? Unlike Unheard, the New York Times is not reporting fairly on this case
at all. And the New York Times, the daily podcast this morning had the most sympathetic portrayal
of this whole thing to no one's surprise. And the whole theme of their podcast was
women, they often take some time to realize how they've been traumatized.
There is no acknowledgement that women who consensually do X-rated things that any
normal woman would be slightly embarrassed about or ashamed to broadcast,
then often on college campuses get convinced in the days after as the stories leak out
that it was, oh, not me making a valid decision to be a slut. It was in fact rape.
That's not acknowledged.
By the Times in their editorial today, Sean, what their spin is, it took her days to realize
her trauma. And she was just really sort of identifying with her attackers when she made
her little speech about how I'm just so open-minded and people are really going to have to settle down
when it comes to sex and sexuality. I love you, King. No one did anything illegal. I'm a slut.
That, that was just, you know, and by the way,
those weren't acknowledged, but you know, just the evolution, the reason it took her
a few weeks to start saying trauma and rape, rape in particular, uh, was this other thing that just,
just happens to sexual assault victims. And then Sean, they peddled the lie about one in four or
26% of women on college campuses being rape victims, which is insane. Here it is.
Because the school did follow the process.
We have 1100 pages we've reviewed that show the school for hours and hours following the process.
The question is, does the process work?
And I sort of wonder to that point, if that is the thing sparking so much outrage
at Cornell and frankly, sort of around the country.
Rachel, I don't know if that's the thing that's sparking so much outrage. I think there's a lot
of outrage in general. I think the fact that Jane Doe is very familiar as an image to anyone who's
ever been a woman who's gone to college.
26% of women who go to college go on to say that they've been raped or assaulted at some point.
This is a story that continues to feel like it keeps happening.
This is so ridiculous. All right. Let me just start with the great Heather McDonald,
whom I know we all adore. She is just freaking brilliant. And she's been
putting the lie to this nonsense for years. This is what she wrote recently.
If there is indeed a culture of rape,
at elite institutions, as AOC recently reaffirmed, why do female students flock into them?
Cornell's student body went from a little under 50% female in 05 to nearly 54% female in 2025.
The hoary, no pun intended, statistic bandied about relentlessly during the height of 2010's
campus rape frenzy that one in four female undergrads would be sexually assaulted during
her college years signifies a level of criminal sexual violence unheard of even during African
tribal wars. She says,
you know, women keep sending their daughters, daughters keep going. She writes,
either females are too stupid to take the most basic of precautions and not go to these places,
or there is no rape crisis and they know it. The same goes for their status hungry mothers.
Why are they sending their daughters into such maelstrom of violence? Answer,
that violence does not exist. And finally, she reposted an article she had written in 08 for
City Journal, in which she had penned the following. If the one in four stat is correct,
it is sometimes modified to one in five to one in four. Campus rape represents a crime wave of
unprecedented proportions. No crime, much less one as serious as rape, has a victimization rate
remotely approaching 20 or 25%, even over many years. The 2006 violent crime rate in Detroit,
she writes at the time, one of the most violent cities in America was 2,400 murders, rapes,
robberies, and aggravated assaults per 100,000 inhabitants. That's a rate of 2.4%.
The one in four stat would mean that every year, millions of young American women graduate who have
suffered the most terrifying assault short of murder that a woman can experience. Such a crime
wave would require nothing less than a state of emergency. Take back the night rallies and 24-hour
hotlines would hardly be adequate to counter this tsunami of sexual violence. And yet, here we go
again. Yeah, I think part of the problem here is that the feminist left is trying to create this
world where women have total agency but no accountability. And what we're learning is that
that is an absolute disaster. If you are going to have agency, you have to have accountability. If
you're not going to have agency, then maybe the age of majority needs to be changed. You know,
maybe we need to think differently about how different people mature. But the reality is
women do have agency. This woman knew exactly what she was doing. And we know what she was doing
because she was texting about it. She was excited about it. She was bragging about it until the
point that she started to feel ashamed about it. Now, I find it shocking that it took that long.
But whatever. I guess when you're engaging that type of behavior, you don't have the greatest
ability to make good decisions. You probably don't have great judgment. But once she started
to feel ashamed and feel bad and feel gross about what she did, because what she did was shameful
and bad and gross and disgusting. And by the way, all the men who are involved are disgusting as
well. We don't want to let them off the hook here. They're all disgusting. Everyone in this story is
filthy and disgusting. Everyone in this story is
and should be ashamed by their behavior. But bad behavior is not necessarily illegal. And you don't
go and get to retcon garbage, crappy, slutty, filthy, disgusting behavior into a crime because
suddenly the people you engaged it with don't want to be around you anymore. And it should be the
most obvious thing in the world. If you as a woman are going to allow people to treat you like that,
you cannot be surprised when they don't respect you or don't want to be around you.
And what we've learned is the second she gets disinvited from the party,
with her alleged rapist, who she was super, you know, amped about hanging out with again.
Love you, King.
Yeah. Once she wasn't a part of that, that's when she decided, oh, wait a minute, I was raped.
Nobody believes this. She felt bad about her behavior and wanted to get revenge against the
people who spurned her. And you cannot have civil society in any measure, shape or form,
if you're going to allow people to engage in this type of behavior and then retcon it after the fact
to somehow I was a victim. No, you're all filthy and disgusting and you should all be ashamed.
The insane lynch mob online, they, they, they're going to get one of these boys
attacked or killed. It is really dangerous what they are doing. And of course, because
the left in particular is what it is. We are seeing the most unattractive women in America
post videos claiming, I am Jane Doe. Trust me, you have nothing to worry about.
This, look at this. I'm going to give you one example. It's not 11.
Very, very large woman.
Guess you found me. I am Jane Doe. I am Cornell's Jane Doe. You found me and can stop looking.
I will stop looking, madam, but not for the reasons you purport to suggest.
These are other women doing the same. Sean, trying to make some point about how like,
they look at it. Everyone's obese and homely. And they want us to know I am Jane Doe in an effort
to, I guess, protect. And the thing, the thing about Jane Doe's anonymity, I have to tell you,
I find deeply problematic, deeply problematic. This isn't even a woman in the criminal justice
system. When she first files this thing, she is a civil tort plaintiff who gets to keep her
anonymity in a case that is this fiercely disputed and debated. And yet the boys get their names
out in the press instantly and their lives instantly ruined.
This is very wrong.
Yeah, this isn't justice. This is a lynch mob. And I think what we're seeing is the fruits,
which Sorab talked about, of a really, truly rotten culture, not just as far as sexual
amours are concerned. I think that's been obvious for decades now that we have completely lost the
plot as people about what actually the purpose of sex is and and the way to engage in it in
state that's safe and normal leads to happy, healthy families. We've totally
lost the plot on that. We've denigrated marriage to the point where we look at it as just a
contract over who gets to claim what stuff when it eventually ends. But we've also completely
destroyed a culture where we used to believe in honour and virtue. And those were the highest
values that we esteemed. And now you can see what these women trying to draft behind somebody
else's victim status. They're not even victims here. They just want to associate themselves
with the victimhood of someone else to get attention. We have now entered
especially with the left in this country, a complete victim culture. How can you discuss
how you have been victimized by everyone who's bad in society? And if you have so many victim
points, then you get to you get to be at the top of the pyramid and make all the decisions.
This is what intersectionality is about. This is what DEI and all that nonsense is about in the
left. And we have got to go back to a culture that esteems virtue and honour and good behaviour
and not one that elevates people because of their alleged victimhood status.
Yes, none of you.
this would have happened if any one of the participants had been raised to believe and
had internalized, ideally, no sex before marriage, a close second sex only with someone with whom
you are in a loving relationship. None of this would have happened. Like, none of it. But they
were following a different ethos on both sides, and that's why they're in the mess they're in.
Honestly, they all have a lot of soul-searching to do, but in particular, this woman who decided
not to live with the consequences of her own decision, but to try to imprison the young men
from that night. More right after this break. Don't go away. Let's talk about something that
is not always the most comfortable subject, but it is incredibly important, making sure the people
you love have financial security if something were to happen to you. Life insurance, it can be easy
to put off. We don't want to think about it, right? But just think about it for like a couple minutes,
and you can get it taken.
All right, getting coverage does not have to be complicated. This is why you need to know about
ethos. Ethos makes getting life insurance fast and easy, and the entire process is 100% online.

Sean Davis is back with me now, so I've had to run. So as we sit here,
we get a 20-minute break. We're going to talk about life insurance. So let's get started.
Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan DA, that reads as follows.
We thank Governor Kathy Hochul for her commitment to closing the voluntary intoxication loophole.
And he's all for it, Sean. This is an absurdity. It's not a loophole. It was by design in the law
so that actual rape cases could actually get heard and wouldn't be completely deluged out
of the system by every woman with Sunday morning regrets and a hangover,
changing her story to rape. There is a reason why that I loved the way you put it. What was it?
It was all that women want agency, but no accountability. Like that's exactly what this
is. And I pulled this. She tweeted it yesterday. It was a really good piece by Nancy Rommelman.
She posted it on tablet in January of 2020 as Governor Cuomo was then pushing to,
close the loophole. Again, it's not a loophole. It's meant to not clog the system so much that
such that actual rape cases can't get heard and to provide for nonstop litigation after
drunken encounters. By the way, if we're going to say, and we can't in this case,
because the law cannot be applied retroactively, but let's say that they had closed the loophole
prior to this alleged incident at Cornell, each of these young men would be able to bring charges
against her. The ones,
number one, Matt Ingalls, he was so intoxicated. He was falling asleep while she was performing
oral sex on him. And she was, she kept going. I mean, that, that right now actually under the law
without closing the loophole looks very much like physical helplessness. And that'll get you out of
the loophole no matter what, whether you ingested voluntarily or somebody slipped you a Mickey,
if you're physically helpless, you can bring a rape case. So honestly, this guy, Matt Ingalls
has a potential claim against her criminal,
criminal, nevermind civil. But if we're going to reverse the law, you know, get rid of the loophole,
all the guys who were there doing lines of ketamine, defendant number two, Jonathan Newell,
he was dry heaving. He was about to throw up. She had to rub his back and like, make sure he was
okay. Obviously this guy was blitzed out of his mind and she had two interludes. He was part of
two of the, of the threesome, same as Matt, Matt Ingalls, that guy. How about the, it's so
paternalistic, right? They're not even considering the number of men who could come forward and how
even in this case, it would not have necessarily helped Jane Doe. It, it might've actually
taken her down, but I was going to mention the case by Rommelman. This is what she wrote.
Uh, she says from now on, if he gets his way, you will not be the ultimate arbiter
of your own bad or good choices, at least not without fear of prosecution.
We're not talking about getting roofied at a bar, current penal laws already,
encompass that we're talking about ipso facto being considered incapable of giving consent
due to having consumed alcohol. Should you choose to go ahead and have sex while drunk,
you will by default be seen as a victim or perpetrator driven by what you wanted at the
time. A person unable to control his or her conduct due to intoxication. She writes,
the new law is aimed almost entirely at protecting women. If by protect, we mean robbing them of
agency. If we mean stop trusting them to make their own decisions. If we mean the same old
garbage attempts to control women's behavior, this time prettied up to look like caring to look
all current to further the embed, the idea that being female is a special onus, which requires
special female only laws. You get hammered. This is me. You get hammered and get laid as a woman.
You get raped. That's that's closing the loophole in New York.
Yeah, it's total madness. And they give the game away by not trying to defend any of the men who
under this new standard, they're not going to be able to defend any of the men who under this new
standard are clearly every bit the victim as the woman was, because if you can't consent while
you're inebriated, then nobody there consented. And so then the question becomes, well, I guess,
who is the instigator? Who was the aggressor? And within embedded within this are some truths
about humanity that that we all understand, but for a long time have pretended to not understand.
And it's that men are stronger and women are weaker. Often you'll heard hear them referred to
as the weaker sex. It's not meant to be insulting or anything. It's just it's an objective truth.
Men are stronger, more aggressive. Forget what you see in all the silly superhero movies.
Any man can overpower just about any woman at any time. And it's why we have always sought to
protect women. OK, and so you can see in this the lie that all of the transgender nonsense is that
boys can become girls and girls can become boys. When you start talking about something like this,
about like sexual assault or talking about rape,
you see that that's all a lie. Men are stronger. They're more physical. They're more aggressive.
They're bigger. This is just the reality. And so we've tried to organize society for
thousands and thousands of years about what's the best way to harness the male physical aggression
and strength. What's the best way to protect women? How do we do this? Generally, we did that
through a thing called marriage, where you can engage in all these sort of things and you could
get things in exchange. You could raise a family together. The woman would be protected. She
could have children. But we as a society have totally disregarded all the
things that made this work, that made the things that can make all of us vulnerable somehow end up
being strengths. And it reminds me of a book by C.S. Lewis called The Abolition of Man. And he talks
about things happening in there where you start removing organs and then you lose the function.
You castrate the horse and you build the gelding be fruitful. You remove the organ and then you
expect people to still act as if they were a human being. And that's not the case. That's not the case.
People will act as if they had it. And that's what we've done. And I think we're seeing in
this story, which is not just a story of wrongful claims and people being destroyed for bad but not
criminal behavior. What happens when you try the whole sexual revolution was a disaster and it
harmed nobody more than it did. It hurt young women. They were told you can have it all. You
can have free sex. You can do whatever you want. You'll be super empowered. And you know what?
You'll be better off for it. Is does anyone look at this story and think, yeah, the,
the woman who engaged in this, she's better off for it. No, everyone is worse off as a result,
having us lost our minds, lost the, the idea of what sexuality is actually for.
We just want to pretend that the whole goal in life now is to go out and have fun and consent
is everything. If you consent, then it's good. And that's also nonsense. They all consented to
it. And it's still disgusting behavior. And I wish we could get back to the point
where we stopped looking at consent is the baseline for human behavior and actually started looking at
propriety because if these people actually had been raised properly and engaged, well,
none of this would have ever happened. They all made
garbage choices and now they're stuck with it. Don't have sex with someone you don't love.
Don't have sex with somebody who doesn't love you. I mean, just start there. Truly start there.
Like imagine if they actually had internalized that message, each person involved in that night,
every single one of them would have avoided all of this, but instead, you're right.
We're we're well beyond the sexual revolution. Now we are now at the point where literally the
person with the number four podcast in America is saying this saw 12 Alex Cooper call her daddy.
No kissing on a first date. Well, sometimes I them on the first date. How about that one?
Um, how about I let him eat me out on the first date and I married him. No,
just kidding. He didn't eat me out. That was like the second time I've had so many
dates where like I had great first date kisses and I was like, Oh my God, I'm never calling you. But
oh, who doesn't love a makeout? Like makeouts are so fun. Okay. And so kiss them the first date fucking
sleep with them the first night like i don't care you have to go based on what feels good to your
body and what feels right to you and so if you have some fucking friends that are prudes that
are like you should never kiss on the first date you're gonna give them the wrong impression and
they're just gonna think you're a whore okay maybe for you cassandra but i'm about to let
him in my back door on night two you don't have to do anal on night two but you could
whatever feels right if a man is gonna treat you like a piece of shit and isn't gonna call you
he's not gonna treat you like a piece of shit just because you fucked him or made out with him
on the first night a man knows okay maybe make out with him so you stop wasting your time what if
like small lip sammy is like barely gets a little tongue in there and you're like i can't even
fucking find we're just hitting teeth you're probably not gonna want to fuck sammy but good
to know that you
got it done on the first date we're maximizing our time people she's a pig and honestly you
can rebut that entire ridiculous diatribe with the following truism you teach people how to treat
you you teach people how to treat you and absolutely if you give it up on the first date
and do anal you are teaching the man that he is to have
you got it done on the first date we're maximizing our time people she's a pig and honestly you can
zero respect for you because you have none for yourself and i'm sorry but i have no idea
whether this young woman listened to alex cooper but her generation is and this is a new only even
more vile sex in the city type message about empowerment sean that will leave the young
women who take it alone ashamed and as this woman wrote in tears all day when the actual
consequences of that behavior come back to haunt them yeah there's this weird thing that happens
when people start going down the road of doing terrible behavior is that their conscience is
actually pricked and they know what they did is wrong. And you can take two roads at that point.
You can acknowledge it and be like, that was pretty awful. I should probably repent of that.
And I should probably stop doing that behavior. Unfortunately, we don't see a lot of that.
The other road you can go down is to start saying, you know, actually, that behavior was awesome.
And everyone who says it was gross, they're bad. And then you end up just compounding bad decision
with bad decision and bad decision. I was reminded watching that horrific clip there
of a gag that was in the show Arrested Development. And they had a video series they mocked
that they called in the show Girls with Low Self-Esteem. And it was a it was a mockery of
an old video series called Girls Gone Wild. And it was obviously what happened with those videos.
People want these girls wanted to be thought of as pretty or taken seriously. So they do things
they shouldn't do for momentary attention from men. And then
it was Arrested Development, a comedy show who actually nailed what's going on here.
I don't know that woman. But watching that clip, Alex Cooper, I guess is her name.
That is a broken, sad, miserable woman. You can see you can see how lonely she is.
The link she has to go to the hoop she has to jump through to make herself feel good
about decisions she's made. You don't go and do a podcast talking about that stuff
because you're proud of what you did. You go engage in that behavior because you're sickened.
You're ashamed. But you think that if you do that and pretend it's great, then you're going to get
out of boys and out of girls and pats on the back for it. I feel sorry for her. It started with
disgust like that is a sad, broken woman who needs Jesus Christ. That is a sad, broken woman who needs
to be told that you are not the sum of just your body. That is a sad, broken, pathetic woman who
has never been made to understand that she is a great person because she's made in the image of
her creator. She's not great because she can have sex. I just that that poor woman needs a hug and
she needs Jesus Christ. My goodness. I think it's it's awfully late for that for her.
She it's amazing to me the number of like women who go on that show and legitimize her,
legitimize, elevate, and in doing so send a message to the young women of America that this type of
morality, such as it is, is totally acceptable and actually shared from Haley Bieber, who is
admired by millions of young women. Charlize Theron, Kamala Harris went on her podcast before
the election. Michelle Obama. Did you bother to check out who the hell you were sitting across
from Michelle before you sat down there? Gwyneth Paltrow. I mean, just it's horrific what's
happening there.
I mean, truly, like this woman is she she's like Hassan Piker by another name,
like saying the most incendiary, upsetting, unfounded, like actually potentially dangerous
things to a generation and influencing them. And not one of those women, I think, would be caught
dead on his show. But they'll prance by this show because they think it's titillating to talk about
their own sex life. It's like Haley Bieber sat there talking about when she,
when Justin Bieber have sex, like which time, like there's nothing that's that's sacred by
whatever. If you want to reveal a thing or two, who am I to judge you? But to go on and talk to
a person like that who's actually influencing young women who are going to get hurt, they
actually are, unlike this woman at Cornell, potentially going to get raped or assaulted
because they're playing with fire. And this woman is riding the souls of the young gals she's
influencing straight to the bank. It's disgusting.
She's disgusting. But back to the Cornell case, the, um, there's more that's come out in the last
day about actually the night inside that house and what was exchanged amongst the fraternity
brothers. There were some 57 of them on that chat, a Snapchat chain that we now know said
free P word upstairs. Um, then it was added that somebody said shop still open and someone said,
someone responded. I think they might've said, yeah. And then it came out last night that there
was another addition to that, that where someone asked, like, you can just whip it out. And someone
said, yeah. So like, you know, these young, ridiculous men are probably hammered and in
some level of disbelief about the fact that there actually is a woman upstairs having sex with
multiple men, you know, however you want to characterize it. That was,
that was happening. And, uh, they can't believe it. And, you know, I can see why, because while
she knew Matt Ingalls, she doesn't appear to have known Jonathan Newell or, um, Jillio Lopes or
Winston Lee at all. And she did have sex with him. So I'm sure they were shocked. And the text
chain or the Snapchat chain reflects that there is an update on what was on that,
chain of messages via ABC. Here it is inside eight this morning for the first time, we're
seeing the room inside the Chi Phi house at Cornell, where Jane Doe says she was drugged
and raped by multiple fraternity brothers. This footage obtained by ABC news was taken weeks later
after Cornell suspended the chapter. And we're reading more of those vile Snapchat messages
shared among more than 50 fraternity brothers during the alleged assault. The friend Jane
Doe went to see that night, messaging the group, a photo that appeared to be a picture of a woman
who appears to show her in the bedroom. One brother asking, shop still open? Another saying,
LFG, that friend of Jane Doe's inviting them all to the room, writing, boys, come whip it out.
It's dark, man. I mean, it's not criminal, but it's dark. And honestly, like this Matt Ingalls,
who appears to have been like her friend, that guy's got a lot of soul searching to do because
she was the one, he was the one she trusted.
She, she, there was a report in her part of her report. Uh, I believe I've read so much. I'm
trying to, I'm having trouble keeping it straight, but she said to him on the third threesome,
whatever happened to just you and me. And I said to the audience on Wednesday, that was the saddest,
saddest sentence in the entire report. Like this, this girl, I I've seen pictures of the one that
we believe is her. I'm trying to confirm once and for all, I have one source, but I need to confirm
that it's her.
Um, she's, she's fine looking. She's not the most, you know, quote, hot looking woman you've
ever seen on a college campus. I'm not saying that to be mean. I'm just trying to give you
some context for this woman probably was not the most sought after person, uh, in her history with
men. And I think she saw this defendant number one Ingalls, who appears to be a good looking guy
from the picture I've seen and had hopes of possibly becoming his girlfriend.
And she's probably floored when he said, as soon as she got to the chi-fi house, how about a
threesome? And I'll bet she didn't actually want to do it. I actually do believe she probably was
like, Oh God, but she probably said yes to impress him because he wanted it. She wanted to please
him. I have no doubt that it was not a coercive situation, but I don't, I just feel like this
woman, what I've seen, she doesn't look like a gal in the fast lane. And I think she's probably
a little bit more of a, you know, a little bit more of a, you know, a little bit more of a, you know,
original guy on threesome number three. And she says reportedly to him, whatever happened to just
you and me? And in the days thereafter, he's the one she's texting. I love you, King. You know,
like, yeah, you know, I'm, I'm empowered. People's attitudes about this are going to change.
And he's talking about her protectively. Like you've done nothing to be ashamed of,
you know, don't worry. I'm going to report those people who are online saying there was a gang
bang at Chi Phi, but ultimately she's going to see the Snapchat exchange where he is participating
in vile and disgusting ways. He's one of the ones who's on that Snapchat. And I don't know
if he did one of the messages ABC just reported on, but there he's on the one where the guy says
free P word upstairs. And that guy was John Newell, who she was, who partook in two of the
threesomes. And Matthew Ingalls is on here saying like, you can walk in and whip it out.
The guy she's calling King is saying she loves the guy she trusted. And I do wonder, Sean, you
know, like how, how is it, how, how can it be that these young men on an Ivy league campus
with like every opportunity in the world in front of and ahead of them would behave like this?
Like, that's another important question.
Yeah. These people had no guardrails on their behavior. And it really is genuinely tragic
because girls engage that in that type of behavior when they are insecure and broken
and they mistake physical affection for love. They're clearly looking for love and they're
not getting it. Men do that kind of stuff because they're disgusting and they're governed by the
wrong organ. And we used to have things in society that helped each side kind of navigate those known
personality failures. And now they're like, oh, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't
failings that they had in them. So it's been a while since I was in college where I went to
college for very good reasons that I think we're seeing illustrated here. There were no fraternities
or sorority houses on campus, not at all. That was something that if you wanted to do that,
the university was not going to be involved in it. You could associate yourself with the university,
but they're not going to give you a house or property and all that. And then the second thing
that they did where I went to school is that the county wouldn't even allow people to live in the
sorority or the frat houses. You had to go get an apartment and it could only be with one or two
other people. They had pretty strict laws on how many people who weren't related could live in the
same home. And they did this for obvious reasons. They didn't want these houses on campus to just
become the site of like inebriated orgies. And they also didn't want a situation where people
would be in this. Now, look, people can go to someone's house and engage in terrible behavior,
but it wasn't that long ago that I was in college. And the people there in that city,
at that school,
there's things we can do to help save people from themselves. There's things we can do
to reduce the likelihood that bad things will happen. And it was always mocked as prudish.
Oh, you're puritanical. You're a bunch of prudes. Well, I got to tell you, I think the prudes and
the puritans are onto something. I don't know how you can come to any other conclusion after
watching the fruits of the sexual revolution and seeing how rotten they are than to think,
you know what, maybe the prudes and the puritanical people, they might've had something
they weren't just trying to make it so you couldn't go have fun. They were trying to
protect you from the things that everyone has known for all of humanity that plague humanity itself.
And yet there will be no navel gazing, second guessing of Cornell's. I guarantee you they've
got various classes that promote this kind of sexuality. I mean, back in the day that Heather
McDonald was referencing, I lived through this at Fox news. We covered a lot of these cases.
They would have like, they'd give out free condoms and,
you know, dental dams, something invented by lesbians, uh, for weird sex with each other,
whatever. Um, it's, they were all over campus. It was celebrated. Like it was,
they were trying to normalize every version of sex, dildos and vibrators being handed out to
like college students who, you know, are just getting to the place where they're
out of their parents' home and are even starting to think about sex as a regular matter. You know,
as like, at least I can speak for the women. I don't think a lot of high school women are
obsessed with sex. I don't think
for men, it may be different. Um, but there'll be no looking into what did, what did Cornell do to
promote any of that? It will only be, why didn't the title nine administrators go harder on the
defendants? That's what's being asked now. They want Tish James to investigate Cornell too. It's
not just go after the boys, investigate Cornell. And there are real concerns. I've, I've talked to
people from Cornell about what's going to happen to Cornell.
University now, like is the president going to get fired? How bad will the consequences be for
a group that did investigate them that had expelled two of them, suspended multiple of them, but the
ones who they didn't think deserved it were allowed to resume life on campus, which they will not be
forgiven for. No, they won't. And it highlights this massive growing political divide in the
country. Now there's clearly a war on young men, especially young white men. I think that's
undeniable at this point. They're viewed as you're, you're just a bunch of savages who probably voted
for Trump. So you're not human. So we're just gonna, um, come after you and, and, and make sure
you can't participate in public life in any possible way. The flip side of that is that
young promiscuous women who've made terrible decisions with in their lives, they are now a
core constituency of the democratic party. And that is actually why you're seeing, uh, Kathy
Hochul do this. It's why you see Letitia James involved. It's why you see Alvin Bragg talking
about it.
Why it's happening in October of an even year, a month before, uh, an election, by the way,
this is a massive, uh, uh, get out the vote operation, mobilization operations for the left
because people who make terrible decisions now with no judgment who think they don't have any
sort of accountability, that is the base of the democrat party. And so I think that's one reason
we're seeing this play out the way we are seeing it in October of 2026 in a completely left-wing
dominated and run state in New York at a left-wing, uh,
institution. You might, as a normal person, look at that and be like, uh, wow, uh, where this
happened, maybe we just fire everyone in charge of, of all levels of government. Maybe, maybe just
everyone at Cornell, uh, in New York, uh, are gone. And yet that's the exact opposite of what
we're seeing. Cause you don't see this stuff generally happen at conservative Baptist colleges.
You don't see this at Christian colleges. No, these scandals don't, it don't burst out of
Liberty university. Um, they're, they're always happening in a place outside of Christian
conservative ideals, not to say that they're immune. The Christian, the Catholic church
certainly had his own scandals, whatever. Okay. Um, Kathy Hochul is currently running for
reelection as governor. Our old pal, Bruce Blakeman from Fox news, a contributor there,
a little pundit is within seven points of her. He's everybody fucking hates Kathy Hochul.
Honestly, no, like no one elected her ever because it was like, she would be a good idea.
She was a Lieutenant governor who drafted in behind sex pest Cuomo when he got the bounce.
And then it was like, okay, I guess we'll go with her. But she almost lost.
Last time too. Um, and now she's within seven points of losing to Blakeman, which is like,
he's the dark horse out of nowhere. Go, go Blakeman, go. And you're right. This is a
political play by her, but they better be careful what they wish for because there is a war on young
men in America. And by the way, while white young men are targets, numero uno in the, in the Cornell
seven, by my count, there are at least three men who are,
are minorities. Uh, Winston Lee looks Asian to me. Jonathan Newell is absolutely mixed race.
He has an Afro. Um, and that's defendant number two. That's the one who did the Snapchat.
I'm going to be really cynical here and say, that's probably why Sonny Hostin issued her
statement on the law, calling it straight, because honestly, she doesn't say anything
that's sensible. If it's only a white defendant, I just, she's just a strange person when it comes
to race. Um, and then the third one is, um,
Jillio Lopes, who looks Hispanic or mixed race of some kind. So there are, that's just my back
of the envelope guess, but there are minority men who've been accused here by the white woman,
which, you know, this can cause a problem with some leftist circles, but wait, be careful,
be careful Democrats and getting too rabid here because the same way that like the judges
controversy drives Republicans to the polls, you know, if the, if the Democrats get out there too
much and they're like, we need pro choice,
judges over the years, uh, that would stir the right to be like, holy shit, what? And they'd get
off the couch for that. And this too, I do think Republicans, conservatives, right-leaning
independents care about their young men and they are sick of this shit. And it just so happens that
the vice president of the United States, JD Vance was on with Jack Posobiec, uh, yesterday in an
interview and listened to what he had to say. Stop 13.
We institutionalized anti-white, anti-male discrimination in this country. I mean,
if you just look at the way that we spoke about white men in the United States of America,
not me, obviously not the president, but like Joe Biden, I was actually talking with a friend
of mine about this. And he was like, if you look at the way the Biden administration
discriminated against people and job applications, college applications,
the way that we just allowed explicitly racist discrimination against our laws to become part of
the normal population. And I think that's, I think that's, I think that's, I think that's,
I think that's, I think that's the way that we just allowed explicitly racist discrimination against our laws to become part of the normal practice of our government, of our admissions policies of our private corporations. It's kind of insane that we didn't have like a revolution in this country. We explicitly discriminated against people. It's one of the things that we're doing.
that I'm proudest of in the Trump administration. Again, there's a lot more work to do. But like,
we're not discriminating against people, black or white, based on the color of their skin and
job applications. We're telling the universities, you're not allowed to discriminate against white
guys, against dudes, against anyone. We don't want discrimination against anybody.
He's raising very good points, Sean. You tell me whether this actually could turn into something
that becomes a midterms issue. Well, I think I think it could. And it's interesting to me,
we're almost eight years from the anniversary of the Kavanaugh hoax. Now, recall what happened in
that year. So 2018 was not going to be a good year for Republicans. It was a midterm election.
Trump had been bogged down with all the Russia collusion hoax nonsense. The polls were down.
And then came along Democrats with this plan to smear Brett Kavanaugh, one of the nicest,
most decent people you'll ever meet, as close to a Boy Scout as you'll ever get,
as a the leader of a serial secret gang rape cartel in suburban Maryland in the 80s and 90s.
It was so absurd. And yet so many people took it seriously. And after about a week or two or three
of it, I think Republicans looked around or like, no, this is insane. You're not getting away with
this. And in a year when Republicans really should have lost at the ballot box, they actually gained
seats in the Senate in 2018. That never should have happened. But it happened because people saw
how insane and how absurd the Democrats were. They would lie and scheme and hoax anyone if
they thought it could get them passed. And that's what happened. And that's
power. I can't be the only one who is reminded of the Kavanaugh rape hoax in the midst of all this,
especially that we're in another midterm year and another midterm election that we're a month away
from. I think this absolutely could galvanize people to come out and be like, you know what?
We've not loved a lot of the things that have happened in the administration for the last year.
We don't love the war. But my goodness, we can't give these people power because if they do,
they're just going to go around putting together lynch mobs of young white men by accusing them
of things and crimes that they simply didn't do. So I really do think it could absolutely backfire on Democrats what they're doing because it's so
obviously brazen and corrupt. Yes. Listen to this. Here's Abdul El-Saeed,
who's running for Senate in Michigan against Republican Mike Rogers. A young woman bravely
reported that she was sexually assaulted in 2024 by seven men in their fraternity at their
fraternity. But instead of protecting her, Cornell University protected her abusers automatically.
Letting them off with a slap on the wrist. It's outrageous and a failure of both the institution
and a societal norm that consistently makes light of sexual assault. The law isn't helping. New York's
voluntary intoxication loophole makes it nearly impossible for survivors to seek justice if they
drank or use substances prior to an assault. Because of this loophole, Jane Doe's assailants
may never be held accountable under the law. I want my daughters to grow up in a world that
is safe. Women deserve to feel safe on campus. That means perpetrators must be accountable for
violating women's rights. To the fullest extent of the law. And we need federal action to ensure that those who commit
sexual assault and the institutions that protect them face consequences. I mean, if I were Mike
Rogers, I'd be shoving this down his throat. This is a tight race. And Mike Rogers needs to find his
footing and make clear he's all for female empowerment and protecting actually vulnerable
young women. But how dare he rush to judgment in a case this fraught? And how dare he get ahead of the
justice system here? It is for a grand jury. And then if they say we have a case, a petite jury to
decide who is the victim and who is the villain in this case. It remains to be seen. How dare he?
Of course, Al Saad is doing that. It's funny, even when he's not on camera and you're just
reading a statement, the amount of short man energy that explodes from everything he says,
I find absolutely hilarious. He's my favorite tater tot.
Of a Senate candidate. And, you know, this is a guy who goes around pretending to be a doctor,
like Dr. Abdul Al Saad. He can't practice medicine. He didn't pass this board. So,
of course, people do this. So, of course, he's going to be engaging in a ridiculous rape hoax
after pretending to be something he's not. The man's an embarrassment. He's a tiny little
embarrassment. So true. He is. He's a little tater tot. That's going to stick. I am never
going to be able to unsee that. Everyone's talking about weight loss injections because

All right, speaking of the midterms, let's get a little work done here because
there are some interesting stories going around on this thing.
In Texas, the latest poll showed, was he seven points ahead of Paxton, Tallarico? It was like
the approval rating was seven points higher, I think it was, for Tallarico than it was for Paxton,
which is bad. He continues to poll ahead of Paxton. Then Trump weighs in. He keeps trying
to save Paxton by owning things about Paxton that are turnoffs, like how unattractive he is.
Then there was this ditty,
by Trump yesterday, stop 14. I was being hit. Ken Paxton was at my side
more than anybody. And I have to always remember that because he could be a pain in the ass
sometimes, I'll be honest. Is he here, by the way? Oh, there he is. Good. I didn't even know
if he's here. I don't care. I would say the same thing, whether the guy is the greatest
attorney general in the United States of America. Okay, so he's a pain in the ass.
Who's unattractive. And it actually was a poll. It was a poll, Fox News
poll showing Tallarico up seven over Ken Paxton with a month to go. Sean Davis,
what's going to happen down in Texas? Yeah, Tallarico is not going to win by seven. I don't
think he's going to win at all. I expect Paxton to come through. He'll probably squeak through,
win by one, two or three points. What's happening down there is that it's a bad year,
or it appears to be a bad year for Republicans. Trump's underwater,
and in any midterm year, the numbers for an individual candidate are kind of going to
follow the president, even though he's not on the ballot. But the reality is, this is Texas.
And Ken Paxton, he's got baggage. He obviously has baggage. The state's Republican establishment
really can't stand him. He just absolutely beat the stuffing out of John Cornyn and then come up
by 30 points. And so there's a lot of people who are kind of butthurt over that. But again,
it's Texas. And I think I saw a couple of polls.
Recently, that showed Paxton up by two or three. I do think it's going to be close,
but it's Texas. You now got the president's pack getting involved. You've got a bunch of money. I
think I saw something like 50 or 100 million going into the state. And I think Tallarico thus far
has survived based on the fact that people really didn't know much about him. Once they get a month
worth of ads about what a trans freako this guy is, how he thinks God's non-binary and children
have six genders, and he loves talking to trans children. I think that's going to be a lot of
children, this is not a guy who's going to survive in Texas. And I look back to
the race with Beto O'Rourke against Ted Cruz. I think Ted Cruz, in many ways, was kind of similar
to Paxton. You know, he didn't have some of the bad can stand him. Yeah, people just don't really
like him. I mean, he was running against this fundraising juggernaut who had all the national
media attention in a bad year for Republicans. And Cruz ended up, I think, winning by four or five.
So I don't think Tallarico is going to win. But a lot is going to depend on the actual political
environment nationwide. If it's a D plus five, D plus seven electorate, I think Paxton squeaks
through. If it's much worse than that for Republicans, I think that undertow might take
out Paxton and even potentially Greg Abbott as governor there. So I think it's really dependent
upon the national environment. Ted Cruz won by three. So it was a little too tight for comfort,
but a win's a win. Here's the thing that has just happened. Paxton was talking about that
midterm.
Convention thing they tried, which, I mean, let's face it, was fake news. It's like there's
no such thing as a midterm convention. Everyone knew it. It didn't get any ratings, whatever.
OK, it gave the Democrats a two point five point bounce in the average of polls, according to Tom
Bevin. And Ken Paxton was apparently caught on audio talking to donors about it. It happened in
Texas. It took place in Dallas. And The New York Times got a hold of the audio. Here's how that
sounded.
15.
Do you feel like and all these guys.
But you feel like a little bit of a drag.
So to be honest with you, the numbers.
So you drag.
We did that convention.
It was our numbers. Everybody had to be gone by now.
Yeah, no, not good.
I wish there was something to turn on.
I would obviously not.
That's Ken Paxton saying.
To be honest with you, that we did that convention. Everybody's numbers dropped.
I wish there was something we could do to turn it around. But honestly, there's nothing. He says
Trump is going down to Texas to campaign. So clearly he thinks the challenge is real
and the exposure is real. James Tallarico, meantime, just dropped this ad against Paxton
trying to paint him as a rich elitist who's out of touch. Watch that 18B today on House Hunters.
Ken Paxton is looking for a home. Will he choose this one point five million dollar,
McKinney, Texas abode conveniently located near the courthouse where he was indicted for fraud?
Yes.
Oh, OK, that was easy.
I guess he doesn't want this three story, 12 bed luxury lodge in Broken Bow, Oklahoma.
Yes. Oh, you want both?
All right. There's also this million dollar ocean view property in Hawaii.
Absolutely. All right.
And how about one luxury condominium at a high end wellness resort in Utah?
Four. Four luxury condominiums it is.
Ken Paxton owns 15 properties valued at approximately $9 million.
Even though he makes just $153,000 annually as attorney general.
So how does he have the money to be building a real estate empire?
A lot of big corporate interests.
Vote for James Tallarico. He has one house.
Effective. Good. Nice messaging. Maybe you're thinking, gee, maybe I'll give him a try.
Oh, wait. Then you hear a shot. 18 of Tallarico.
Nice to see you.
Oh, nice to see you, too.
Thank you for being here. I'm so glad you came.
Thank you.
That means a lot. Let's get a picture.
Thank you.
And so, really quick, I'm just so happy that you're running and everything you're doing for our country.
Yes.
And everyone feeling included. Really quick, I have a nice, I want to let her know.
Yes.
That our government hears her.
Yes.
Can I count on you to support her?
Always.
She's not able to participate in any sports.
Yes. The way I, the way I fought for trans kids in the legislature is how I will fight for the U.S. Senate.
And my position hasn't changed.
No.
I still think these should be local decisions, sport by sport, athlete by athlete.
And I think I have the most inclusive policy of any candidate who's running.
So.
I agree.
I know things are getting clipped and stuff, but my, my views, my position hasn't changed and I'm going to have, I'm going to have your, your loved ones back.
Okay?
Well, thank you so much.
Thank you. God bless you.
Thank you.
God bless you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Even he has no idea what pronoun to use.
So it's a no.
I mean, that really does drive you to, I don't care about Ken Paxton's houses.
I care about daughters not getting the shit kicked out of them on soccer.
I don't care about daughters not getting the shit kicked out of them on soccer.
Well, I thought that was an especially hilarious ad from Tallarico because he's currently, I believe, being investigated for voting at his mom's house when he was supposed to be running in a different district and claiming a residence that wasn't even there.
So, like, he's an adult, I guess, living with his mom.
I don't know, I saw that ad.
I was like, those are some nice houses.
So it could be zero houses.
Yeah, I'd like to have a couple of those.
Right.
Well, they're saying he's corrupt, which, you know, a lot of voters down there do think.
I don't, look at that.
These choices, I would say they're not ideal.
That's my own takeaway.
They're not ideal, but you can't let Tallarico win.
You just, I mean, honestly, you can't.
And now, let me tell you this, checking in with Kalshi, they're like a betting market.
They report that over the course of the week, Paxton's chances of winning Texas and the Senate race have gone down on Kalshi.
They were at 60/40 Tallarico.
That was on Monday.
Now, Tallarico has gone up to a 65%.
65% chance to win.
Paxton trading at a 35% chance to win.
It's not the same as a code, I mean, as a, as a poll, but it's a betting market where
people are actually putting their money behind their predictions.
So it's in some ways even more interesting.
They are a sponsor of ours on this program.

Okay.
I want to keep going now.
Speaking of Michelle Obama, who is on this sex podcast, she sat down with Sharon Stone and they had a fun little discussion about you terrible men, Sean, here it is, SOT20.
If men got pregnant, you could get an abortion from a vending machine.
If there would be the birth Olympics, you know, they were, they, men would film themselves going into a vending machine.
It would be the birth Olympics, you know, they, men would film themselves going into a vending machine.
And they would be going into labor and honoring their pain and, you know, it would be, there would be trophies given, you know, well done, dude, Bob, you really, you know, you did that without an epidural.
Paternity leave would be when you got the bonus.
before you, but also giving you some sense of pride in what
can be the destiny and was the destiny that so many fought for yeah right yeah
yeah i kind of love her i'm gonna be honest how many drinks deep do you think she was when that
podcast started like first sentence out of the gate she's already slurring and then we're getting
like the mad lib poetry in the middle like kamala come back i want mamala back i want her to be the
candidate again because she's amazing how many times can you throw out legacy and destiny and
hope somebody will bite and there's the other gal who i don't i don't know who she is uh she hosts
the distracted podcast which seems apt for this gal go just going yeah yeah maybe if i just like
act stoned like i get it people will believe i've understood your mess profound like man yeah
kamala and the oscar goes to she is
you
like the quintessential stupid ideas person of a smart person she talks like she's doing the the
google autocomplete where just you type in a word and then there's another word and then there's
another word like she doesn't quite know where she's going but she's pretty sure that destiny
has charted her path forward for her i mean she is so endlessly entertaining i wish she was on
podcasts all the time yeah last but not least i'll squeeze this in holly berry is in the news
because
her ex-husband olivier martinez the guy who starred in the movie unfaithful as the french
lover of diane ladd that's holly berry's ex-husband they're having some massive custody dispute over
their shared son and he accused her in a filing of getting on top of the sun straddling the sun
and strangling this 12 year old child and then said she drinks too much and shouldn't be allowed
should to be forced to be taking drinking to the sun and she's not allowed to drink too much and
tests like breathalyzers before she has access to their son her representative now hitting back
claiming these are lies we deny them all and that he's a violent man those are the real issues the
judge did not um require that she have to have her sobriety be monitored uh citing insufficient
information about that but this is the second very brutal custody battle she's had she has another ex
a real aubrey and those two got locked in a bitter custody battle uh she wound up having to pay him
quite a hefty amount over their daughter nala so i don't know sean to me this is just a reminder
of the good old judge judy you're supposed to love your child more than you hate your ex and these
folks would do well to remember that yeah i wish we could go back to where nobody knew anything
about anyone else's divorce filings um there's so many lies that get thrown into these things
on both sides it it in
of becoming a just awful war with children caught in the middle i don't want to know um i don't
think anyone else wants to know you can't trust any of it quite honestly because of it seems like
people will say or do anything once they hit these battles um so anytime we get into that it just
makes me sad it's also a reminder to not get your um cues on social behavior and parenting and
marriage from hollywood celebrities amen great to see you have a great weekend all of you do as well
and we'll see you
monday thanks for listening to the megan kelly show no bs no agenda and no fear
Podcast Summary
Key Points:
Megyn Kelly criticizes New York Governor Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James for appointing James as special prosecutor in the Cornell 7 case, calling it a partisan move that undermines fairness.
The case reveals that four of the seven men admitted to sexual contact with the alleged victim, while others denied non-consensual acts, with some claiming the woman initiated the encounters.
Kelly argues that James publicly affirmed the victim’s allegations as fact without conducting independent investigation, undermining her credibility and suggesting bias.
The narrative shift—where the victim later claims she was raped while intoxicated—raises concerns about "retconning" behavior and the normalization of trauma after sexual activity.
Critics highlight that the law in New York already protects women from being charged with rape if intoxicated, and changing this would criminalize consensual sex, especially among drunk individuals.
Kelly contends that the prosecution's bias, combined with political and ideological motives, puts the young men at risk of unjust charges and long-term imprisonment.
She criticizes the broader cultural shift promoting sexual empowerment without accountability, pointing to figures like Alex Cooper who normalize promiscuous behavior and victim-blaming.
The episode warns that a lack of moral and cultural grounding in consent and respect leads to a climate where both men and women are misled, damaged, and punished for poor decisions.
Summary:
Megyn Kelly delivers a critical analysis of the Cornell 7 case, arguing that the appointment of Attorney General Letitia James as special prosecutor represents a politically motivated, unfair intervention. She highlights that four of the seven men admitted to sexual contact with the alleged victim, while others claimed consent was given, undermining the claim of widespread non-consent. Kelly strongly criticizes James for publicly affirming the victim’s allegations without conducting a fact-based investigation, calling it a violation of prosecutorial ethics.
She points out that the victim’s narrative shifted dramatically after the incident, suggesting a pattern of post-event trauma and reclamation of victim status. Kelly warns that changing New York’s laws to criminalize consensual sex under intoxication would create a dangerous precedent, disproportionately targeting men and eroding personal agency. She also critiques the broader sexual culture, especially among progressive influencers, for normalizing promiscuity and victim-blaming, leading to a society where personal responsibility is lost.
The episode underscores a moral panic where accountability is absent, and victims are used to justify punitive outcomes. Ultimately, Kelly argues that the case reflects a deeper cultural failure—where consent, agency, and morality are distorted by ideology, resulting in unjust consequences for young men and a harmful narrative for women. She emphasizes that true reform requires cultural shifts in values, not legal overreach.
