In the wake of sexual assault scandals rocking Hollywood and the accusations against Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, Senator Al Franken has been accused of fondling Leeann Tweeden’s breasts while she was asleep and shoving his tongue down her throat during a “skit” without her consent. Unlike the Roy Moore allegations, Tweeden provided photographic proof of the then 55-year old Franken grabbing her breasts while she slept during a December 2006 USO tour.

Over the weekend, Tommy Robinson was in Warsaw, Poland to attend the country's Independence Day march - a celebration of Poland's 99 years of independence from Russia. While the mainstream media claimed that 60,000 far-right Nazis took to the streets preaching racism and division, the reality of the march was much different. Tommy Robinson joins Stefan Molyneux to discuss his firsthand experience in Poland, the mainstream media’s distortion of the independence celebration, the suffering of communism producing a gratitude for freedom and the state of the European Union. Tommy Robinson is the Founder and ex Leader of the English Defence League (EDL), the author of the bestselling books “Enemy of the State” and “Mohammed's Koran” and the host of The Tommy Robinson Show on Rebel Media.Website: http://www.tommyrobinson.comTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/TRobinsonNewEraYour support is essential to Freedomain Radio, which is 100% funded by viewers like you.

Question 1: [2:00] - “My son is eleven and the inevitable instability from my decision to split up with his dad about 8-9 years ago has caused a lot of suffering for him. Do you think there is anything that I can do to repair at least some of the emotional damage that I have caused him? I'm in another relationship now and we have a daughter who is three; what can I do to ensure that I don't make the same horrible decisions?”Question 2: [1:33:54] - “Why am I still single I’m a traditional girl from the south and since moving to Los Angeles, I can’t seem to find a guy who’s on the same page. I’m sure a lot of it has to do with me being African American and wanting to marry an African American man as well. The eligible pool is just so small here, with many of them being from bad families, too liberal or unambitious dreamers. I am being told that I am making myself too available and that I need to play hard to get. This is tough for me because I am naturally affirming and accommodating. My being nice and wanting to make a guy feel good doesn’t mean I’m in love with him just that I think he’s a nice guy. The idea that I’m supposed to date a guy but not like him or make it known that I’d like to settle down in the near future and just be some big ball of fun while going dutch or footing the bill on dates AND having sex with these men with no promise of a future together sounds absolutely crazy to me but I can’t for the life of me figure out what I’m doing wrong, maybe I’m the dreamer?”Question 3: [2:15:33] – “Recently, I listened to your segment ‘Why I rejected religion’ and was particularly taken in by your personal testimony of what you considered to be reasons for why religion failed you, and why you propose that God may not be good enough. Given your current scope of influence in motivating people to think and reason more effectively, with a view to preserve freedom in the western civilization and even mankind, could it be that your seemingly unhappy and even tortured childhood be something that God put you through as a means to build your character up to serve Him, only if you desire to do so? Would that possibly even offer comfort and sense to the childhood that God had you endure, so you can be what you are today? And could reconciliation with Him therefore grant you even more blessings when you are right with Him?"Question 4: [2:43:37] - “I am 22 years old and I am in a committed relationship with a man that I love very Much. We started our own online business together this year and so far it is going great! My grandma doesn't seem to understand that just because I now work from, that doesn't mean that I can drop everything and go spend all of my time with her. Every since I was a little girl, I have always wanted my grandmas love and attention but I rarely received it. If I am too busy to go spend an entire day with her, she holds it against me and passively threatens to not call me anymore. My relationship with my grandma means a lot to me and I don't want to lose her, but how can I establish boundaries with her so that I don't have to feel pressured and obligated to spend all of my time with her and neglect my business?”Your support is essential to Freedomain Radio, which is 100% funded by viewers like you.

After a recent article by the incredibly partisan Washington Post, Alabama Senate Candidate Judge Roy Moore is facing allegations that he had sexual contact with a 14-year-old girl nearly four decades ago. While Moore fiercely denies the allegations, leftist mainstream media outlets, Democrat politicians and establishment Republicans have denounced Moore as guilty in the court of public opinion.

"Scott Adams was one of the earliest public figures to predict Trump’s win, doing so a week after Nate Silver put Trump’s odds at 2 percent in his FiveThirtyEight.com blog. The mainstream media regarded Trump as a novelty and a sideshow. But Adams recognized in Trump a level of persuasion you only see once in a generation." "Trump triggered massive cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias on both the left and the right. We’re hardwired to respond to emotion, not reason. We might listen to 10 percent of a speech—a hand gesture here, a phrase there—and if the right buttons are pushed, we decide we agree with the speaker and invent reasons to justify that decision after the fact. The point isn’t whether Trump was right or wrong, good or bad. Win Bigly goes beyond politics to look at persuasion tools that can work in any setting—the same ones Adams saw in Steve Jobs when he invested in Apple decades ago."Scott Adams is the creator of the widely popular Dilbert comic strip that is published daily in thousands of newspapers across the world, he is the author of many bestselling books including “How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big: Kind of the Story of My Life” and "Win Bigly: Persuasion in a World Where Facts Don't Matter." Adams is also a trained hypnotist and an expert in the field of persuasion.

Question 1: [2:07] - “We feel like we have all the resources necessary to physically provide for our child, but our concern is how to raise them with a philosophical mind-set without compromising their overall socialization and avoiding them becoming disenfranchised and thus demotivated by society, education and work. Naturally core principles of philosophy are beneficial to these things, however, we are concerned that the current social climate means that our teaching will come across as requiring them to ‘swim against’ the norms and values they are taught in school or by friends, thus providing them with confusing messages. For example, the social shift towards ‘relativism’ for most aspects of life, including gender, runs counter to our views that not everything can physically be ‘relative’. These two opposing approaches are likely to cause an internal conflict for the child, perhaps forcing them to feel they must choose between either our views or the view of their school / peers. What can we do as parents to ensure the best outcome for our child, so that they grow in a loving and intellectually stimulating environment that will develop them into a strong and confident individual?”Question 2: [24:27] - “I am an Australian, Christian, currently in university. My question is on the hot topics in our society is for last 13 years, marriage equality. It has been a long at times pointless roundabout debate which often devolves into name calling and accusations of bigotry. Now my alternative to this is removing marriage altogether as a government institution, that it becomes a tradition done within the community; this historically and religiously was its original intent. The alternative way of circumventing this issue is civil unions. This is legally similar to marriage without the load religious undertone; if the individuals want the marriage ceremony, they can then do this in what ever manner they want. Put plainly rather than a debate about marriage equality; the third alternative is the removal of government from marriage eliminating the issue altogether. When I discuss this as an option to people, it is either side step, ignored, or they don't seem to understand this as a conceptual way of approaching the issue. I am wondering is this a valid option I can campaign for in my community? If so what is the best way to construct it as a concrete argument, not as a much as moral one but a logical way of approaching the issue?”Question 3: [57:20] – "Being someone on the far right who consumes a lot of information on a daily basis, how do I prevent having a constant feeling of anxiety about the future of my people, when every day I am either bombarded by news of European people suffering from the effects of the migrant crisis (grooming rings, unsafe schools, working class families being pushed into poverty etc.) or have to reconcile myself with our inevitable demographic decline and the abandonment of our European homelands to invaders from the Third World? I already moved from Germany to Eastern Europe, to at least have some peace of mind by not having to live in the midst of all this degeneration and civilizational decay. Yet I can't opt out of seeing the Sword of Damocles above so many things I love and care for. This feeling often prevents me from enjoying my daily life, which actually isn't bad, and makes most of my conversations with friends inevitably turn political. Stefan and I might not have the exact same world view, but I would like to know how he, as a professional political commentator who does see some of the same dangers looming on the horizon, would recommend to deal with this kind of anxiety?"Question 4: [1:53:54] – “I am a Trump supporter who legally brought a foreign family member into the US on a DACA related program, and now realize that this family member is threat to me, and may be to this country. It is clear that he does not respect the US, and much less myself, but will do anything in his power to not return to Venezuela where he was born - given the obvious madness there. I have to choose between A) end all legal processes with him, and attempt to send him back to Venezuela, and face the retribution from my anti-Trump/pro-immigrant social circle and my family who don’t believe he is a problem for me or this country, or B) allow him to remain and burden my beloved USA with yet another anti-American, parasitic, pseudo-refugee who will make it harder for a more deserving immigrant. How do I choose between A or B? What is more important here: humanity or conscientiousness? Should I give this person one more chance, or should I take preventative means to preserve myself and this nation?”Question 5: [2:31:17] – “Is it worth it to go after a guy who is smart, with a good personality, but also has various issues? All things rational probably should say run away, but I find plenty of reasons to stay. I see a bright future, and lots of potential in this guy. He's faced some major setbacks in life, like medical issues, problems with alcohol, deaths in his family, and hasn't got a career going. However, when I talk to him I connect on a deep level. I really care about him, but I don't want to be wasting time on someone who can't provide me with the life I want. I see potential, but I'm not sure how much time we have. There's been some tension in my family with me dating him, but they've never met him, and he's come a long way in improving himself since I've known him for about a year. I've seen a bit of a rift form between myself and my family, but I also wonder if that's just part of me growing up and starting my own life. What can I do to help him, help myself, and stay right with my family?”Your support is essential to Freedomain Radio, which is 100% funded by viewers like you.
