Right. So, Charlie, I know that you're a conservative, but these categories were actually jumped up by David Graeber, who is an anthropologist, and he's hardly conservative. He's a left anarchist.
But I think this is sort of one of the issues, really, that should be apolitical, that people at both ends of the political spectrum should see, is that there are a lot of these people with sort of confusing jobs. And just to run through them, the flunkies are people like administrative assistants. There are a lot of assistants for these mid-level bureaucrats
Why all of these mid-level bureaucrats need assistance, again, is unclear. Are they really that busy? Maybe they are, but maybe. And this is what Graeber says, is that the bureaucrats are just there to make them feel more important. And that also seems like a very plausible explanation. We can't know for sure unless we hear from them. And that's why we sent that email.
Goons are those who sort of fight people on behalf of the university, deceive people. Everybody in the communications office, essentially.
And in particular, the Brown spokesperson. has been putting a lot of misinformation out about me in the press because he's been saying that this site is using confidential information. He's been telling that to all the reporters. And that's not true, but we can get into that later. But your title, your job description, that's not confidential. The duct tapers are the third category.
These are sort of people like... Like, think about, like...
all the it staff that is dedicated to maintaining an upkeep of of all these various data systems like at brown the wi-fi goes out all the time um like all the systems the it systems are not great and so instead of just having like an end-to-end solution that is like a well-designed system they just have a whole lot of it staff just just sitting around um
fixing things when it breaks, duct taping it, so to say, instead of just designing it well in the first place. Box stickers are essentially people, compliance officers, DEI officers that just go around and they just essentially check boxes to see, are you doing this? Are you doing this? You don't really add any value. They're just making sure that everybody else toes the line.
And then the taskmasters are just these mid-level administrators that just boss around the lower-level administrators and give them tasks. Maybe they're writing memos. Maybe they're drafting strategic action plans. How would this benefit students? I don't know, but I'm sure they think that they are very, very important.
Right. So this has been reported pretty widely at this point. And I'm backed by FIRE, the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression. And they put out a blog post that pretty much outlies the entire situation. But according to what FIRE is saying is Brown is pursuing a preliminary review against me for four different charges. They're saying it's emotional and psychological harm.
They're saying violation of operational rules. They're saying misrepresentation because I said I'm a reporter for the Brown Spectator and that's not recognized by the Student Activities Office. That must mean it's misrepresentation. And the last charge is invasion of privacy, again, for publishing people's names and job titles that Brown himself publishes on the Internet.
And so, again, it's not really clear how that's confidential. Now, in Rhode Island, where Brown is, is we have a state law even that called the Students Journalist Freedom of Expression Act, which protects student journalism, like is in my case. I think this is really just evidence of double standards that Brown has.
I don't know if your audience knows this, Charlie, but Charlie Kirk is also banned from Brown University's campus. This was because of an incident that happened a few years ago where Brown told him he couldn't film. And so Charlie Kirk came to our campus and he wasn't filming. He was compliant with all these rules. But some other students were filming him and those got posted online.
And that was deemed to be in violation of Brown's filming policy. And so now Charlie... is unfortunately banned from Brown's campus. But take this into account, what Brown has been doing with these pro-Palestinian protesters. In 2023, a group of like about 30 of them were just trespassing in an administrative building. Again, what I'm doing is speech. What they're doing is trespassing.
And they actually got arrested and charged with that. And then Brown just decided to drop the charges because they didn't want to inflame tensions or something like that.
Then when there was the encampment, the people who were in the encampment, they struck a deal with the Brown administration that they wouldn't be held to the normal disciplinary proceedings and that expulsion and suspension would be off the table for all of them. And again, I think this just shows that there is a clear double standard here about how people are treated.
I mean, like myself and Charlie, it's just speech. It's freedom of speech. But when people get into disruptive actions and protests, breaking actual laws, as long as they're on the left, they're pretty much protected.
the country to the nation how would you categorize it i think it's elitist that's the way that i would sum it up is that they're coming after people who espouse more right-leaning like libertarians and conservatives they don't come after the far left um the pro-palestine people who are breaking actual rules and also just think about the price tag 93 000 a year financial aid is not going to cut it for a lot of people and so people just can't go to brown
And so this is elitism plain and simple. They only want to be accessible to people that are on the coast, that can afford this price tag and have those trendy progressive elite perspective. And if you think DEI is bad, even if you just want to criticize the bloat, that's not acceptable at a place like Brown University.
I'm Alex Marlowe in again for Charlie as he debates Gavin Newsom. And we've got a good one for you today. Peter Schweitzer is here, the number one investigative researcher, I think, in all the world, certainly in conservative media. We go through how China and Ukraine are actually connected and why this will make Trump's foreign policy make a lot more sense.
