I think that people who sincerely felt like, and maybe Mark Zuckerberg is one of these people, you could look to, you know, for earlier evidence of the vibe shift, you could look to his desire to raise and butcher his own animals or getting into jujitsu. There were signs, is all I'm saying. Is like... Now the water's warm, right?
Now that it's sort of like politically and culturally and socially and reputationally acceptable, more people are coming out and just being like, hey, that was a little crazy. That's how I see it.
I think I'm having whiplash. Like what's the line in Ferris Bueller? Like life comes at you fast. Like every time I turn around, another person that I regarded as sort of like a zombie politically is now like come to life. Peter Thiel actually had a quite an interesting piece in the Financial Times over the weekend calling for almost like a truth and reconciliation commission.
Saying basically – which speaks to your point. Like he's basically saying it's really nice. I'm going to paraphrase this. But he basically says that in order for us to truly move on, it's not enough for people to just like have a change of heart. We basically need an accountability. We need a Twitter files for everything that's happened from the cover-up of the lab leak to –
you know, and he named a bunch of other things, and I felt like that was... Anyway, it's really, really provocative, like everything Peter says, and very much worth a read. We have three minutes left before Batya needs to go and yap on television, so... Last thing, confirmation hearings start this week. We're recording this in the afternoon of Monday, January 13th.
Tomorrow, Senate hearings are going to begin for several of Trump's cabinet picks. They don't need Democrats to pass these appointments, but there might be some Republican holdouts for the more controversial picks, like, let's say, Pete Hegseth for defense or Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for HHS or maybe Kash Patel for FBI. What are your predictions for these guys specifically, Hegseth, Kennedy, Patel?
Are they going to make their way through? Or is, you know, Susan Collins going to stop them from getting to their appointments? What do you think? Is Hegseth going to be defense secretary? Is RFK Jr. going to run HHS? And is Kash Patel going to run FBI? Let's have answers from both of you. Pete Hegseth, yay or nay, Brianna? Going to make it through?
Batya?
OK, well, Batya Angersargon, Brianna Wu, next time we talk, Trump will be the president of the United States. So eager to see what happens this week in the Senate, what happens on Inauguration Day. And I'll talk to you guys after January 20th. Thanks so much for coming on. Thanks, Barry. Looking forward to it. Thanks for listening.

And if you wanna support Honestly, there's just one way to do it. It's by becoming a free presser. It's becoming a subscriber to the free press by going to thefp.com, T-H-E-F-P.com and becoming a subscriber today. We really appreciate the support. We'll see you next time.
From the Free Press, this is Honestly, and I'm Barry Weiss. It's the biggest peacetime crime and cover-up in British history.
Thousands of young girls, mostly children, were groomed and raped by immigrant gangs across the UK over a period of decades.
Police turned the girls away.
Detectives were discouraged from investigating the crimes.
Politicians and prosecutors did their best to sweep it under the rug.
Journalists, at least many of them, skipped the biggest story of their lives.
A culture of silence came to envelop the United Kingdom. Why? Why did that happen? And who's to blame? And why are we talking about it right now?
Today on Honestly, I speak to two women who spoke out years ago about what was happening when many people wanted to look the other way. They are Julie Bindle, the British feminist and author, and author and activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali. Both took tremendous risks in highlighting this story, while a lot of other people looked the other way.
Bindle is a longtime feminist and the author most recently of Feminism for Women. She also writes a popular substack. Hirsi Ali, a Free Press contributor, is also the author of many books, including Prey, Immigration, Islam, and the Erosion of Women's Rights, which helped bring attention to the scandal in 2021.
Today, Julian Ayan explained what happened, how these rapes and murders were covered up in the name of preserving social harmony, how it's arguably still happening, why Elon Musk is suddenly tweeting obsessively about it, and how Britain's ruling class is being forced to reckon with the scandal that it had until recently successfully ignored.
