Also, the problem is people are confusing everything. I think France and America have very different histories and totally different. I mean, France abolished slavery in 1794 for the first time. Then Napoleon Bonaparte reinstated it. And then again in 1848, it was demolished. you know, definitely abolished for, for, for good. And just our, our countries are totally different.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
And I think sometimes people take concepts and, um, apply them to different countries with different histories and, and it just doesn't work. And we, we need to stop, uh, to do that. Uh, the, the Americans need to stop to do that. The French people usually, uh, uh, import a lot of American concepts and forget that our histories are totally different. So we need to really stop doing that.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
And we need to look at our histories in a very realistic way, pragmatic way, which is, I think, what you're getting at. And And yeah, we need to accept that we made mistakes, that some things were horrible, but they're also sometimes taken out of context. And we're taking our 20, 25 glasses to look at a situation that was in the 1800s or whatever. So that doesn't work as well.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
And we just need to learn from our mistakes, but just move forward and stop... feeling guilty about what our ancestors did because that, you know, we're not responsible.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
Yes, I dedicated a whole episode of my own podcast to the woke movement. And I invited this guest who wrote a book about woke capitalism. So he's sort of an expert and he went way back. And his theory is that the woke movement starts actually in 1926. And actually, France has not fathered that movement yet. It was actually from an Italian philosopher called Antonio Gramsci.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
And also from the Frankfurt School of Philosophy, this German philosopher called Marcuse. They came up, they were all Marxists, by the way, Gramsci and Marcuse, and they came up with the beginning of this whole concept and the concept of repressive tolerance policy.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
uh their their theory is that to to liberate uh tolerance then you need to be intolerant against all the movements from the right and um toleration of movements from the left so it's sort of um, explains why, you know, cancel culture where all that comes from. Um, because woke ism is a movement that says, you know, you need to be tolerant, you need to be acceptant.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
And, but in the end they end up like canceling people and canceling movements and canceling, but that's actually the concept of repressive tolerance. So it goes really way back to 1926 and, and the Marxist philosophers of that time in Europe.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
Yeah, that's the concept, repressive tolerance. And that's why it cannot work. And it always leads to totalitarian movements at the end of the day, because you'll always have somebody more woke than you. And somebody, you know, you'll never be pure enough. And we all know where that rhetoric takes us. I mean, it's horrible. It's just like, there's no way back. So, you know.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
So it's actually we in France, we have a law for freedom of expression. It's not the First Amendment. We're not, you know, absolutes of freedom of expression. Our freedom of expression has limits, which is homophobic. uh, racism, anti-Semitism, like all these, um, uh, things like that are totally illegal and you can be, you know, you can be jailed for, for, for, for that.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
And I think it was, there was sort of a balance that was okay. That was actually okay. I liked our French law about freedom of expression. But lately, and that's what they're trying to do with X and the European legislation, the DSA. I don't know if you've heard about that, the freedom of expression online regulation legislation. from the EU Commission.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
They want to go beyond our French law on freedom of expression. And actually, that's what Elon Musk talked about many times, is that he will abide by these countries' laws, but won't go beyond the law. And basically, the GSA is asking him to go beyond the law and censor you know, opinions or disinformation or misinformation, but we all know that that's totally arbitrary.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
And, you know, there is no ministry of truth, you know, and, and, and it's very dangerous. And we saw with the Twitter files and, and everything that's coming out right now with USA ID that you, you mentioned that scandal shows that, you know, disinformation is in the eye of the beholder and of the person basically who pays for the programs.
Ask Dr. Drew

Now if you want to see stars, you have to watch them dance, dive, or go to rehab with Dr. Drew. Dr. Pinsky told me that you are having some issues.
Ask Dr. Drew

Are you?
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
No, actually, he's a politician. He's one of the few politicians that you never see anywhere because he wants to get out of the EU. So since it's a taboo question, he's never invited anywhere, but he's pretty popular. And he's on social media. People follow him. There's like a couple of those politicians who think that way, but they're never invited anywhere. So, you know, it's democracy.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
There's...
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
Well, you know, I think you mentioned it about yourself. I think my life changed with COVID because I was like, okay, I'm going crazy. This can't be our new reality. Like we cannot, I cannot live in this world. You know, in France, we actually had the QR code pass. We weren't allowed to drink our coffees standing up or sitting down. I forget which one. I mean, this was like the scientific rule.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
I mean, it was just so insane what happened to us.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
Right, exactly. And we actually had a name for those beaches that you're mentioning. The insanity was like we put a name on everything. Our beaches were called dynamic beaches. You weren't allowed to sit down. And there was like a way around the beach. And you weren't allowed to buy socks or toys for your kids, but you were allowed to buy. I mean, it's just all those. Oh, oh.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
And another great one. You could go in a ski resort. You could ski, but there were no gondolas allowed. So what people ended up doing is that they would hire taxis. to bring them up the mountain. I mean, seriously, and they would ski down. Seriously, this time just changed my life. And before, as an actress, I never spoke about politics. I never said anything about anything.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
I was just in my lane, doing my work. But when I saw my child that was six years old wearing a mask 10 hours a day, even to play sports, which doesn't seem very sanitary to me to not be able to breathe when you're exercising. It just, I lost it. I was like, okay, that's it. I need to, I can't passively accept this new, this new normal.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
This is not going to be the world I want to live in, you know, and I want my kids to know that I did not agree. And I tried to do something about it by speaking up and that's it.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
I guess so. I can't really get into it too much because, you know, I'm in enough trouble as it is. Yeah, I think, you know, they don't like people speaking up and, you know, I mean, they're canceling a whole network. because of freedom of speech, basically.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
But to go back to what you were just saying, to people who just bow down and accept certain situations, to go back to what you were mentioning about the garbage cans, we are now having the garbage police. So these people are accepting jobs to basically go from door to door,
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
to open with a cutter you know like people's garbage and go in there with their hands to see if you you recycle properly and if you don't you know you get a like a red sticker on your trash can and they won't pick it up and you know and that's for in the first phase but the second phase will be you will get fined um i mean it's such a level of dystopia that um
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
I can't even believe that I'm saying what I'm saying. It's just... Where did the world lose it, basically? It's just insane. Insane. And I think what's happening in the States, though, because you were saying what the hell is going on in France, I think what's happening in the States, not that people love Trump or... It's just...
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
It's given people hope that things can change, you know, and because people are so depressed, people are so, so down, so depressed. It's very sad. Like the level of depression is just through the roof, especially since COVID, but not just because of it, you know, also because of this whole pandemic. It's just people are desperate. People are desperate.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
And and I think what happened with, you know, the election in the states, it's just whether people like Trump or not is not the question. The question is, it gave people a lot of hope that things there's hope there, you know, something can change. And I think that's very important.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
Yeah, that's actually, you're talking about Bernard Arnault, who's one of the richest guys in the world. He used to be always in a battle with Elon Musk and Bezos about being the number one richest guy on earth. He's the guy who owns LVMH, Louis Vuitton and Tiffany's and all these brands. And actually, he was a big Macron supporter.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
And so the fact that he went to the Trump inauguration and that he came back to France and started saying what you just said that he said, it's a big deal. It's sort of like you can feel that, you know, things are taking a different turn now. And just our government is just the only thing that... that they know what to do is taxing people, more taxes, more taxes.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
And I think what Elon Musk is doing with Doge right now is inspiring a lot of French people and is showing by contrast that, you know, there is another way. Or in Argentina with Javier Mireille. I think all these people, Elon Musk, Trump, Mireille, are showing our country that there could be maybe another way. And we don't need to accept that we're the most taxed country in the world.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
Yeah, crazy deficit. I mean, our debt crisis is through the roof and they lied about it. And it's just a disaster. And it's just really sad because, you know, everybody I think loves France. It used to be such a light, you know, something to look up to and culturally and for so many reasons. And it's just really sad to see it decline so much.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
No, it's totally true. It's exactly on the spot. When you look at the Olympics, for example, the opening of the Olympics, they actually recreated a scene from the French Revolution, and it was very bloody. And it seems, like you said, it seems very shocking because, of course, in France, we don't have the death penalty anymore. And in a way...
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
It was the death penalty for the French Revolution, was the death penalty for the king, for its family, for a lot of aristocrats. It was terrible. It's very violent. But it was also the beginning of, like I said, it sort of mirrors what we're seeing now, what we were just talking about, where we need hope. We need hope. We need to know that things can change.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
And I think with 1789, it takes us back to a place in history where somehow a small group of people, because Remember, of course, at that time, you didn't have television, you didn't have all of that. So at the end of the day, it wasn't the whole country that stood up. It was, you know, a relatively small group of people that, you know, just launched this revolution.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
And it inspires, and it's also the beginning of the Declaration des Droits de l'Homme et du Citoyen, the declaration of the... That's what I said.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
absolutely. But I think when people think about that time, they really think about universalism and, and, you know, really beautiful values and the end of feudalism and the end of the monarchy and the end of oppression. So, um, that's how, you know, and the, and the beginning of the modern French history. Um, and a lot of left people think actually France started with,
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
began with the French Revolution. And they sometimes forget that our history goes way, way, way back and way before the French Revolution. But I think, you know, and especially nowadays, because Macron is so unpopular in France, you're right. People talk about 1789 all the time because people are fed up and see him in a sort of a like a king, you know, abusing his, oppressing his people.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
So there's a lot of, yeah, of, of referencing to the, the, the French revolution right now. And it's never good. It's never good because like you said, it was very, very violent.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
Yeah, he did so many amazing things for France. That's why this whole debate about cancellation, about canceling him is ridiculous. I mean, everything, our laws, everything is ridiculous. you know, goes back to what he did. So, um, his legacy is absolutely huge and contributed to make us such an amazing country.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
So, um, but you know, right now we're again at a point where a lot of people in France think that, um, the only outcome that's possible will be violence again and, um, mirroring, um, 1789. And, um, I'm still hoping that we can get out of this horrible situation in a more reasonable way and with voting and stuff.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
But the EU right now is, I think, totally unreasonable and putting committees in place that will judge if an election was fair or not fair, according... to its results. I mean, all that is very scary talk.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
And I just hope something happens that we can go back to a more democratic functioning and that we get back our sovereignty and that, you know, people will be able to express themselves more in France and get the power back because that's what a democracy is about power to the people.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
My father is American and my mother's French. And I've always been between the two. I grew up in France. And when I'm in the States, I forget my French. And when I'm in France, I forget my English. So, you know, excuse me if today I wasn't like super eloquent. No, you're fine. You're fine. No, no, no. Defining my words.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
But, you know, when you're immersed with television and people all day, you just sort of like your brain goes into one thing. But yeah, so I just grew up in France and then I worked most of my career in the States. I lived in L.A. and I worked, you know, big studios and I had a great, great experience. I love working in the States. I think it's so people are so professional.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
It's just a joy to work with Americans because they're so square and so diverse. You know, they wake up at five and they have so much energy. In France, it's totally different. Like, you know, people only think about the weekend and the holidays and, you know, and resting and having dinner. But, you know, it's just a different life.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
I'd like to, um, I was actually going to, and then COVID hit, uh, you know, and then you get caught up with like your, your kids' schools and stuff, but I'd like to go back and, and, and work in the States. I mean, the business is totally different in the States and, and it's just more in my vibe. So, um, yeah, I'd like to go back, but we'll see. We'll see. You know, we'll see.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
My husband's Italian. Yeah.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, the mentality is totally different. I think, you know, the culture is very different. Americans have all this energy and this ambition. And actually, ambition is not a bad word in the States. Where in France, if you're called ambitious, it's not good. Like people will think you're an opportunistic or, you know, you just like money too much. Money talk is taboo in France.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
You can't talk about money. Where in the States, it's almost the first thing that people talk about. So it's just a different mentality. And there's good things in both. And going back to politics, Macron, when he arrived, he used to say that he's a bit from the right, a bit from the left, a bit from everything. And I think he took the worst of...
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
what the American culture can give and the worst of what the French culture can give and put it together and, you know, made a party with that. And I think today we see the result of that. And I think we need to stop and make a do over and take what's best from the States, what's best from, from France.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
Um, and the, the way the art de vivre from France, you know, our culture, the way we, we like to enjoy meals and then enjoy life, but also, uh, get inspired by Americans and their, um, efficiency and their, their energy and their, uh, they're willing to, to get up and work and do the job, you know? And that's, and that's amazing. And I admire that.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
Yeah, absolutely. Like the, you know, when you're in the States, the first question people ask you is, Oh, what do you do? Like, you know, to try to understand like how much money you make and, you know, where you are on the, like what social status you have, um, in France, you don't, you just don't do that. It's sort of, uh, impolite to do that.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
So you have to talk about different things about like maybe, um,
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
So actually, I'm not in a political party. I don't support a political party. I have a stand where I think we're at the end of a system. We're really at the end of a system. And I think even the opposition in France, all the political opponents, they're sort of playing the game. You know, they're in the merry-go-round.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I, I think there will be unfortunate. I, I, you know, I admire the general de Gaulle who, um, created, um, the, the system. Right. The, the, the, the fifth one, which we're in right now, but I think, you know, he was exceptional and I don't think anybody can, uh, fill his shoes. And right now, and the level of our politicians is so low, um,
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
But I think we're at the end of that system. And I need I think we really need that system was made for an exceptional man to lead the country. And we don't have that anymore. And there's no perspective of having that anymore right now. So I think we're at the end of that system. And I think that even the opposition is sort of a fake position. They're just waiting for their turn.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
And so they're not really willing to do what's right for the people. And I think we need to give the power back to the people because at the end of the day, like I said before, that's what democracy is all about. The people need to decide for their destiny. And, you know, it's our money. It's our it's just it's our destiny. It's our money. It's our children.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
And I think we need to give back the power to the people.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
Yeah, absolutely. I have a podcast on all the podcast platforms, Apple, Amazon, Deezer, Spotify, whatever. And I recently launched my YouTube channel, Beatrice Rosen Official. And my podcast is called La Vie en Rosen. So it's sort of a play on words with my name and La Vie en Rosen. You got it. And I have to launch one in English because just to touch the English speaking world.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
Yes.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
Yes. I think we're at a time where there's just not that level of greatness anymore. Anywhere.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
No. Yeah. And, you know, the education system has declined so much in the last decades. You know, all the systems have declined. And I think it just produces weak politicians. And I just don't think that any of them are fit for the job. And, you know, a lot of people support Marine Le Pen in France. Personally, you know, I gave you my opinion about the opposition in France.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
I think, you know, it's just... it would just waste more time. We, we just need, you know, to, to go to what, what's next and, and, and just change the basis of, of all of that.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453

Yeah, he's a very famous French journalist, very popular. And he's one of the only journalists who wasn't following the legacy media, you know, narratives. And he was very brave during all the recent crisis that we've experienced.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
So basically, I'm on this talk show with this very famous talk show host who's a big star in France. And his name is Cyril Anouna. And basically, he was orchestrating debates on television. And he was letting, you know, all sides of the story being, you know, everybody was able to talk on his show. And apparently, it sort of pissed off some very... Um, powerful people.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
And, um, now the whole network is being shut down. Basically at the end of this month, this network called, um, is it's, it's over. It's done. Like you've never seen something this crazy in a democratic country. Like it's, it's insane. So the show, we don't know yet what the show will, will, where it will go, if it will continue or not. I mean, it's, it's insane.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
Yeah, he'll probably do something like that. He's a crazy personality, larger than life. I mean, every single day, there's over 2.5 million people watching his show. This is like the number one talk show in the country that they're shutting down. So it's absolutely insane. I mean, it's super successful. It's not a little underground show. It's a major show.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
Right. It's bureaucratic nonsense. But as you guys are seeing with the USAID scandal, you know, all these little agencies and committees and organizations are being created to basically take the responsibility, take the blame and take. Cover the transparency of it all, in my opinion, and that's only my opinion.

I think the president is behind this decision because, you know, the show was getting a little, I think, dangerous for for the powers that be.

OK, so basically there were three different votes and none of them were won by the president's party. OK, Mélenchon, as you said, on the second round of that third round. basically, he made an alliance with the presidential party. And so they over sort of overcame Marine Le Pen, but not really. I mean, basically the, the presidential party lost every single election, all those three elections.

And yet they are still there. That's the magic of it. Like they just stayed in power. So really we're, we're, France is going through a really rough time. I think it's really counterproductive because people are very angry and the anger is growing and growing every day. And that's why I think it's nourishing all this censorship. Like you just said, rumble is censored.

Say reach that the network I was talking about is censored. Some talk shows are censored. They want to censor X. I mean, they're panicking. Basically they're panicking and they don't control the narrative anymore. It seems like, and they're in total panic and their only way to go is just to censor everyone. And it's, and it's insane and it cannot end well.

So that's a totally taboo topic on the legacy media. You can't even mention it. I mean, it's just like it doesn't even exist. And a lot of people wouldn't want that. Of course, there's a propaganda telling people that if you leave the EU, then, you know, like, I don't know, it's the end of the world and we're all going to die and disappear and horrible things will happen.

Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
Um, yeah, it's totally taboo. So you even, uh, during the presidential debates or any election debates, you can't even, it's not even a topic that you can, um, talk about. It's, it's just absolutely insane because we're in a situation where France doesn't have its sovereignty anymore. Everything was given to, uh, Brussels and the European parliament, you know, and commission.

And, uh, we're sort of like, uh, in submission under Germany. And it's a major problem right now. It's a major problem. And to me, it's really the... the biggest problem. And nobody can talk about it.
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
Yeah, we have a major identity crisis. In the past decades, people were like, you couldn't even have a French flag. Like if you had a French flag on, you know, at your door or on the street, you would be called a racist. So we just have—we were feeling made feel guilty about everything, about our history, about our colonies.

Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
It doesn't mean that we need to embrace, you know, and say that everything we've ever done is great, but we need to embrace who we are and just— you know, know who we are as a people, as a country, and we don't anymore. And that's really the root of a lot of, of issues right now. And, um, and,
Ask Dr. Drew
Beatrice Rosen on France: Woke Politics Pioneers Now REJECT Le Wokisme… WTF Changed? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 453
with the woke movement, I know you want to talk about that later, but with the woke movement, it also makes everybody feel guilty about, in a way it's sort of a paradox because it said, you know, the woke movement is about accepting and tolerance and, and, but in the end it's about self hatred. And so that's, there's something wrong with that.
