Disaffected

Australian novelist and lawyer Helen Dale joins Josh at home to explain how she became Oz's "patient zero" for modern cancel culture. When Helen's first (and prize-winning) novel was published in 1995, Jewish lobbyists subjected her to more than a decade and a half of harassment, libel, and attempts to get her de-employed and blackballed from law and publishing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's yet another claim of "gang rape" at a university. This time it's Cornell. The accuser, "Jane Doe," was texting her alleged "rapists" with things like "luv u king" in the days after the "rape." Is that slowing down the re-opened criminal investigation? Nope. We're watching a railroading in real time. Burlington Republican Party Chairman Bill Oetjen tries to get answers about how many men are living in Vermont's women prisons. He doesn't get them. But he does get a lecture from the prison chief about how he's "harassing" the poor civil servants.

Episode 293, September 27, 2026   Psychological projection works in two directions. Tonight we look at what happens when people project their own positive, moral character onto psychopaths and evil-doers. Positive projection makes the wicked look like the good. Patrick Clancy’s sympathy for his murdering ex-wife is an example. Public praise for NIkole Hannah Jone’s self-regarding article about how she ruined her daughter’s education is another. Positive Projection is part of why we’re sinking deeper into a narcissistic society. Montpelier Vermont is a case study in the ghetto-ization of formerly safe and clean towns. You’ll never guess what happened this time at the grocery store, or how the ACLU helped it happen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
