uh alleged these awful series of crimes by they alleged gang rape by a bunch of white uh duke lacrosse players a gang rape that was what that was what the allegation was and then they charged all these guys and many of them weren't even there right i mean like the evidence they had one of them a few miles away at an atm machine and they knew it and they didn't care

And so all of this was based on the fact that they were black women and these were white men.

And this was just the New York Times leaned in on it.

I don't even know what settlement those guys got.

But it was one of, I imagine it had to be tens of millions of dollars that those people who were alleged to have committed the crimes got.

And I give credit to him.

I think ESPN did a really good documentary on this case.

One of the spokespeople for the Duke lacrosse team, one of the players,

came out and said, I believe the phrase was, there was a series of fantastic lies when they arraigned them at the courtroom.

I mean, they were as outspoken as they could possibly be.

It's one of the greatest miscarriages of justice ever.

And what I would say in general is, if a story completely fits your narrative worldview,

and I would even put it in the context of this ridiculous thing that we saw with Ilhan Omar the other day, I am very skeptical when the best thing that could happen to someone is a crime and the crime happens to them.

Remember Jussie Smollett?

Being a racial and sex victim in that manner would have been the greatest thing that could have ever happened to his career ever.

When the best thing that could ever happen to your career is you're a victim of a crime and you allege you were a victim of a crime...

My alarm bells just go off skeptically.

In this case, I mean, from the get-go, it just didn't add up.

They shut down the team.

This season, they didn't get to play, all based on these stripper lies.
