We Have Become Wild Beasts
Summary
Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty analyze a Cornell University lawsuit, arguing that media and politicians are framing a consensual, drug-fueled incident as a gang rape to advance political agendas. They also discuss a suspected jihadist hijacking of a commercial flight in Israel, debating whether the incident was a terror attack or a suicidal pilot. The hosts critique the NFL’s expansion into Europe, noting poor ticket sales for games in London, and examine the economic pressure on Iran as US naval blockades choke off its oil exports.
