Emma Jo MorrisPANELIST
And so they basically asked women a series of of questions that about behaviors that they've experienced and then she at the at after the fact categorized those behaviors as amounting to rape and that's where you got that figure but like the questions could be anything from like do you again like did you ever wake up the next day and uh feel uncomfortable about what happened the night prior So, you know, the statistic is a hoax and all of this is a hoax.
Emma Jo MorrisPANELIST
And to your point about just sex that you regret, Heather MacDonald also made this point where it's like these women go into, and we made this point on the podcast as well, by the way, last week, women go into these parties literally like mainlining vodka or loco or whatever they're doing.
Emma Jo MorrisPANELIST
Right.
Emma Jo MorrisPANELIST
Right.
Christina ButtonsGUEST
But...
Christina ButtonsGUEST
And Heather Mac Donald has pointed this out much earlier in, um, in City Journal.
Christina ButtonsGUEST
D- I mean, two decades ago, this was going on.
Christina ButtonsGUEST
But what they do was, what they found was that, you know, if you ask a woman if she's been raped or sexually assaulted, she'll say no.

Christina ButtonsGUEST
But it will eventually come out.
Christina ButtonsGUEST
Her name will come out, and she'll be associated with a rape hoax for the rest of her life, which is sad.
Christina ButtonsGUEST
It's a sad outcome for everybody involved, and it's largely due to the fact that there is this whole, I... it's what Heather Mac Donald has termed the campus rape industry, and it's, you know, there's therapists and researchers and Title IX investigators and victim advocacy services and a whole bunch of nonprofits that keep sustaining this idea that there's a rape crisis and that, you know, women who have had consensual experiences, well, they're actually non-consensual.
Christina ButtonsGUEST
They just have to keep it going.
Megyn KellyHOST
They're not true.
Megyn KellyHOST
Again, as Heather Mac Donald pointed out, the Detroit o- the Detroit overall crime rate was 2.4% not many years ago for, for everything, murders, carjackings, robberies, you name it.
Megyn KellyHOST
I- what are the odds that on Cornell, an Ivy League university, in just rapes alone, we're at 35%? These are lies.
Megyn KellyHOST
Okay? They push the lies, of course.
Nicole AngemiHOST
Like,
Maria Q. KaneHOST
It is interesting because I've heard Heather MacDonald talk about this for years.
Maria Q. KaneHOST
She always brings this up.
Maria Q. KaneHOST
This has been a thing, yes.
Nicole AngemiHOST
But then you see they have like millions of views and you're like, okay, at least a couple people are believing this thing, right? Like-
Maria Q. KaneHOST
It is interesting because I've heard Heather MacDonald talk about this for years.
Maria Q. KaneHOST
She always brings this up.
Maria Q. KaneHOST
This has been a thing, yes.
Tim KellyGUEST
You also have the, the idea of men.
Tim KellyGUEST
Heather Mac Donald made this point about s- male sexuality, and she put more of the onus on women.
Tim KellyGUEST
And obviously there's male responsibility here.
Tim KellyGUEST
But really, you have women misbehaving.
Mel KHOST
This is DEI in action, the top of the school.
Mel KHOST
And you know what? Call her what you want, I think Heather Mac Donald is a hero, and, uh, she's just-
Rob ReallyHOST
I, I'm off-
Mel KHOST
... calling it like it is because we are not just her- harming our own children and we have an influx of children that don't speak English and are illiterate in their own language, uh, around, you know, a, a couple million that have gone into the US public school system.
Mel KHOST
Um, take a listen.
John StosselSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Often told that systemic racism is why Black people are underrepresented in colleges.
John StosselSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Author Heather Mac Donald has a different explanation.
Heather Mac DonaldSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
This is something that's very difficult to talk about, and I need to give a trigger warning, but the average skill level of Black students is very, very low.
Dan ProftHOST
Um, but, um, the, uh, administration's facilitation of ketamine-infused sexims, if you will.
Dan ProftHOST
Uh, Heather Mac Donald commenting on the college campus culture brought to you by the '60s and everything that's transpired over the last six decades since.
Heather Mac DonaldSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The 1960s, it gets very tiresome to repeat this, but sadly, it's a truth.
Heather Mac DonaldSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And so, you know, you, you gotta sort of say, "Okay, I gotta repeat the truth again." The '60s got everything wrong, and the rise of the flower power, liberation, sexual liberation, when you had for the first time in history, adolescents that were so-- uh, culture had gotten-- America had gotten so wealthy that, that adolescents had spending power for the first time, and they became empowered, and they started rewriting the rules and saying, "We're gonna have maximal lust, unchanneled lust, uh, and, and maximum freedom, and men and women are gonna be absolutely identical in all things." That was profoundly ignorant about human nature.
Dan ProftHOST
Well, um, a lot of the communication, again, what's in the public domain suggests that is a hysterically irresponsible account of what happened, and mainly from Jane Doe herself.
Dan ProftHOST
Mainly undermining that characterization is Jane Doe herself.
Dan ProftHOST
On the Call Her Daddy podcast, which is another grotesque outgrowth of that '60s culture Heather Mac Donald was describing, Alex Cooper, you remem- may remember her from her, uh, infamous, uh, what turned out to be million-dollar-plus, uh, interview with Kamala Harris back in twenty twenty-four.
Dan ProftHOST
They had to set up a-- build a new studio for and all those things so she could have girl talk with Alex Cooper.
Emily JashinskyHOST
And many people have said straight up that they are rapists.
Emily JashinskyHOST
She repeats the one in five rape statistic that Heather Mac Donald has done a great job debunking, and I'll just read a little bit from Heather Mac Donald before I toss it over to you, Evan.
Emily JashinskyHOST
"The one in four statistic is correct," Mac Donald writes.
Emily JashinskyHOST
"It is sometimes modified to one in five to one in four.
speaker_1GUEST
Um, I think we are headed down the wrong path when we just start opening the doors up and letting all of those people in, because that is not a military that is based to operate in the environment that the standards are based upon.
Chris WilliamsonHOST
I had a conversation with Heather Mac Donald, who has written a book called "When Race Trumps Merit," and she's talking about how affirmative action for different ethnic groups is cauv- causing meritocracy to kind of be thrown out of the window.
Chris WilliamsonHOST
And it's, it kind of is really uncomfortable actually to, to kind of go through because there's a lot of pretty sort of harsh and, and disquieting stats that you start to learn.
Chris WilliamsonHOST
But the main thing that I realized was most people, most sane people wouldn't have a problem with the military having an incredibly rigorous standard for entry because they understand that if you get this wrong, mortal danger is on the other-
