The excitement builds as we approach the cloture vote on the Supreme Court nominee. Today we re going to go through a lot of material, including the supposition that Brett may have committed perjury on the stand, which is the new angle being taken.

00:00:44.000But first, I want to announce that tonight I am kicking off my YAF tour, Young America's Foundation tour, at University of Southern California.
00:02:21.000Thanks to a little-known IRS tax law, you could even move your IRA or eligible 401k into an IRA backed by physical gold and silver, which is perfect for folks who want to protect their hard-earned retirement savings from any future geopolitical uncertainty.
00:02:33.000If you look back, when the bottom falls out of everything else, gold tends to safeguard savings.
00:02:50.000It shows how gold and silver can protect your savings, and again, how you can legally move that IRA or 401k out of stocks and bonds into a precious metals IRA, if that's something you're into.
00:02:59.000To get that no-cost, no-obligation kit and ask all your questions, go to birchgold.com slash ben.
00:03:03.000Ask all your questions, be certain about what you want to do with your finances, and then when you're ready to invest a little bit in precious metals, go check out birchgold.com slash ben.
00:03:14.000So, Mitch McConnell, the Senate Majority Leader, has announced that he is invoking cloture, meaning that we are not going to allow the Democrats to filibuster the Kavanaugh nominee, and that means that by Saturday, the full Senate will be voting on Brett Kavanaugh.
00:03:27.000Here was Mitch McConnell yesterday announcing that he was going to file cloture on the floor of the Senate.
00:03:33.000There'll be plenty of time for members to review and be briefed on the supplemental material before a Friday cloture vote.
00:03:41.000So I'm filing cloture on Judge Kavanaugh's nomination this evening so the process can move forward as I indicated earlier this week.
00:04:05.000Clearly, Democrats are now very satisfied with how this has gone.
00:04:08.000Everybody has a lot of faith in the FBI.
00:04:10.000Folks on the left, they really feel like a full investigation has been done, and they're feeling pretty satisfied about all this.
00:04:15.000Take, for example, Senator Dianne Feinstein, who took the results of the FBI inquiry, and she saw that it basically said nothing new, and then she said, you know what?
00:04:24.000I guess now I'll really consider Brett Kavanaugh's nomination.
00:04:27.000Or alternatively, she did what everyone knew what she would do, and she said, oh no, the investigation is a bunch of hooey, and it was never meant to be comprehensive, and therefore Democrats can't vote for Kavanaugh on that basis.
00:04:39.000Here is Dianne Feinstein, who really has just been
00:04:42.000I mean, there's no other word for it in terms of the process that she's engaged in than evil.
00:04:47.000I mean, it really has been an evil process in which she's engaged, getting an allegation on July 30th, holding it for six weeks until just before the vote, releasing it without any corroborating detail, maybe releasing it anonymously in order to spur the full release of the story, and then grilling Brett Kavanaugh on supposed gang rape.
00:05:05.000Now, all of this has just been gross, but here's Senator Dianne Feinstein continuing her pattern of being gross by saying that the FBI investigation is incomplete.
00:05:11.000And because it's incomplete, therefore, that's really why we shouldn't vote on Kavanaugh.
00:05:16.000But what I can say is that the most notable part of this report is what's not in it.
00:05:23.000As we noted by the White House, the FBI did not interview Brett Kavanaugh.
00:05:29.000We have seen even more press reports of witnesses who wanted to speak with the FBI but were not interviewed.
00:05:36.000Okay, so I love that she says what's most important here is what's not in it.
00:05:42.000That's true, but not how she means it.
00:05:43.000So she says, what's most important is all the people the FBI didn't interview.
00:05:47.000Well, that's because the people that she's talking about could provide no corroborating evidence.
00:05:51.000What's not in the report is that there is no corroborating evidence for any of Christine Blasey Ford's allegations.
00:06:00.000The GOP Senate Judiciary Chair, Chuck Grassley, he says there is no hint of misconduct in confidential FBI report on Kavanaugh's sexual misconduct claims.
00:06:08.000He says there's nothing in it that we didn't already know.
00:06:11.000Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, at least Susan Collins from Maine, she is suggesting that the FBI process has made her feel a little more quiet about this whole thing.
00:06:19.000Maybe that's what Jeff Flake was going for.
00:06:21.000If so, we'll put the best possible spin on it.
00:06:23.000Maybe when Senator Flake called for the FBI investigation, he was just trying to get Susan Collins on board or provide cover for a couple of Democrats like Joe Manchin and Heidi Heitkamp to vote for Brett Kavanaugh.
00:06:34.000Also, the polling data this week has been brutal for Democrats.
00:06:37.000So that means that Joe Manchin and Heidi Heitkamp in North Dakota, that the two of them may in fact vote for Kavanaugh just to preserve their Senate seats.
00:06:44.000It is very likely right now that the Democrats, their chances before the Kavanaugh thing were not good.
00:06:50.000With regard to taking back the Senate, they had about one in three shot, according to FiveThirtyEight's modeling, of taking back the Senate.
00:06:58.000And it looks like Republicans may actually pick up seats in the Senate.
00:07:01.000Even the advantage that Democrats have in House races has been reduced by half, as we talked about yesterday on the show.
00:07:06.000So this Kavanaugh thing has backfired pretty badly on Democrats.
00:07:09.000White House spokesman Raj Shah says the White House has received the Federal Bureau of Investigation's supplemental background investigation into Judge Kavanaugh.
00:07:16.000It is being transmitted to the Senate.
00:07:18.000With Leader McConnell's cloture filing, senators have been given ample time to review the seventh background investigation.
00:07:24.000This is the last addition to the most comprehensive review of a Supreme Court nominee in history, which includes extensive hearings, multiple committee interviews, over 1,200 questions for the record, and over half a million pages of documents.
00:07:35.000With this additional information, the White House is fully confident the Senate will vote to confirm Judge Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
00:07:41.000President Trump tweeted out this morning, the harsh and unfair treatment of Judge Brett Kavanaugh
00:07:46.000Even Bret Stephens is expressing gratitude that Trump is president today, which is an amazing thing, right?
00:07:50.000Bret Stephens is about as anti-Trump as it's possible to be.
00:07:52.000He is a true never-Trump Republican, and he came out
00:08:11.000in the New York Times today and said, I am very, very pleased that Donald Trump is president and standing by Brett Kavanaugh.
00:08:17.000Now, there are a lot of folks on the left who don't seem to understand why folks on the right are so passionate about this issue.
00:08:24.000The reason we're passionate about this issue is because it looks like due process and presumption of innocence have been tossed completely out.
00:08:29.000Now, in a second, I'm going to get to the counter argument that's being made by some folks, I think in good faith, folks like Sam Harris on his podcast.
00:08:42.000I want to talk about that in just a second.
00:08:44.000But the way that Republicans are viewing this, the way conservatives are viewing this, the way independents are viewing this is a man was accused after 36 years of allegedly sexually assaulting a girl back when he was 17 years old.
00:08:57.000There is no corroborating evidence and Democrats want to run him out of his life over it.
00:09:01.000And then the media have decided to latch on to every single rumor they possibly can in order to prevent Kavanaugh from joining the court.
00:09:26.000And does Brett Kavanaugh deserve to be on the court?
00:09:29.000Now, these two issues are not completely separate.
00:09:32.000The process and its suckage are one of the reasons why Brett Kavanaugh got himself into a little bit of trouble with regard to his testimony.
00:09:38.000I'm going to talk about the trouble he got himself into with regard to his testimony in just a second.
00:09:42.000But the suckage of the process is what most people are concerned with at this point because it feels like whatever
00:09:50.000Complaints are being made about Brett Kavanaugh are essentially fruit of the poisonous tree.
00:09:53.000And when you accuse a guy of gang rape and you start going through his yearbook, and then your final case against him is he fibbed about stuff in his high school yearbook, and that's why he shouldn't be on the Supreme Court?
00:10:03.000That feels like fruit of the poisonous tree in the worst possible way.
00:10:06.000And in a second, I'm going to discuss that case.
00:10:10.000Also, it feels like the media are out to get Kavanaugh, because they are.
00:10:12.000Ronan Farrow has done some really good work on the Me Too stuff.
00:10:15.000Like, some really excellent work on the Me Too stuff.
00:10:19.000And he completely has undermined his own credibility with regard to Brett Kavanaugh.
00:10:23.000So, you recall that a week ago, The New Yorker, in a piece by Jane Meyer, who is not a good reporter, and Ronan Farrow, who is a good reporter, they put out a piece suggesting that a woman named Deborah Ramirez, back when she was at Yale, was at a drunken frat party, and Brett Kavanaugh unzipped his pants and exposed himself to her.
00:10:40.000She apparently considered it for six days because she wasn't sure that she remembered it correctly or that it was Kavanaugh.
00:10:45.000And then she came forward and told the story.
00:10:47.000There were no corroborating witnesses.
00:10:48.000Well, last night, The New Yorker decides that in order to undermine the credibility of the FBI investigation, they are going to come forward with new witnesses to Deborah Ramirez's statement.
00:10:58.000Well, that would be kind of a bombshell, wouldn't it?
00:11:00.000Except that's not actually what the report said.
00:11:02.000On Wednesday evening, The New Yorker runs this investigative piece from Meyer and Ronan Farrow.
00:11:06.000The piece claimed that the FBI investigation into sexual assault claims against Kavanaugh was insufficient.
00:11:12.000What made the investigation insufficient?
00:11:32.000So the FBI investigation is, just as Feinstein said, insufficient because there are a bunch of witnesses who have not been interrogated by the FBI, and they've been desperately reaching out to the FBI, trying to tell their vital stories.
00:11:45.000Well, the key vital story comes from a guy named Kenneth Appold.
00:11:48.000Kenneth Appold, according to the New Yorker, was a suite mate of Brett Kavanaugh's at the time of the alleged incident.
00:11:54.000He had previously spoken to the New Yorker about Ramirez and condition of anonymity, but he said that he is now willing to be identified because he believes the FBI must thoroughly investigate her allegation.
00:12:04.000Appold, who is the James Hasting Nichols Professor of Reformation History at Princeton Theological Seminary, said that he first heard about the alleged incident involving Kavanaugh and Ramirez either the night it occurred or a day or two later.
00:12:15.000Appold said he was 100% certain that he was told that Kavanaugh was the male student who exposed himself to Ramirez.
00:13:18.000We have actually MyPatriotSupply at the office in case an emergency hits while everybody is here at work, so we don't resort to cannibalism.
00:13:24.000I think it is fair to say that Austin goes first.
00:13:27.000Each person in your household should have at least a two-week emergency food supply from MyPatriotSupply.
00:13:32.000This week, they're offering a special price of only $75 for a food kit that contains 92 servings of breakfasts, lunches, and dinners.
00:13:39.000Call 888-803-1413 or go to my special website, preparewithben.com.
00:13:44.000This food lasts up to 25 years in storage.
00:14:12.000This is a bad, drunken, frat antic that is gross, but it's not quite the same thing as pressing yourself on a girl and putting your hand over her mouth.
00:15:45.000In his statement, which his attorney also sent to several members of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, he described Kavanaugh as part of a clique of high school athletes, most of whom were on the football team, who routinely picked on less physically fit or popular students.
00:15:59.000He said he never witnessed Kavanaugh physically attacking another student, but he recalled him doing nothing to stop the physical and verbal abuse.
00:16:05.000Instead, he said Kavanaugh stood by and laughed at the victims.
00:16:57.000Because the left is now desperately attempting
00:17:01.000to make a series of claims about Kavanaugh that are unconnected to the original allegation.
00:17:06.000And I'll get to that in just one second.
00:17:08.000So, first we begin with the response from Dr. Christine Blasey Ford to the FBI investigation, which came up with nothing new.
00:17:15.000Her attorneys, who are Democratic activists, they sent out a statement and said, quote, An FBI supplemental background investigation that did not include an interview of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford nor the witnesses who corroborate her testimony cannot be called an investigation.
00:17:28.000We are profoundly disappointed that after the tremendous sacrifice she made in coming forward, those directing the FBI investigation were not interested in seeking the truth.
00:18:27.000I mean, when she first came forward, I said, this is a credible account, and I want to wait for corroborating evidence before I make a decision on this.
00:18:34.000There's no corroborating evidence forthcoming, and that's why I'm saying that Brett Kavanaugh can't sit on the court.
00:18:38.000I still don't know if she's telling the truth.
00:18:41.000Nobody knows, because there's no corroborating evidence and no witnesses.
00:18:45.000With that said, one of the things that's been put out there by folks on the left is that there's no incentive for women in high-profile cases to come forward.
00:19:08.000I mean, here was Time Magazine's cover this week.
00:19:10.000The Time Magazine cover this week is of Christine Blasey Ford swearing with her eyes closed and her entire face is made up of words from her testimony.
00:19:20.000Does that look like somebody who has not benefited at all from the publicity?
00:19:24.000I would say that Christine Blasey Ford is one of the most worshipped figures on the left today.
00:19:27.000So, that's not an implication that she's lying, but to suggest that the incentives are all stacked in one direction is just not correct.
00:19:36.000It is true that Brett Kavanaugh has an interest in her story not being true, but she also has an interest to suggest that women don't have an interest in coming forward in high profile cases because all they're going to get is the downside.
00:19:48.000Now, again, that doesn't mean she's manufacturing her case.
00:19:50.000It doesn't mean she's lying, but we ought to at least be honest about what the incentive structures here are.
00:19:56.000Incentive structures are in place for allegations to sometimes be made.
00:20:00.000If they weren't, then you wouldn't have high profile cases where women come forward and say something and it turns out that they're fibbing.
00:20:11.000Point number two, there are a bunch of people who are now coming forward and making ancillary claims that have nothing to do with Kavanaugh.
00:20:16.000And this is supposed to be the great debunker of Kavanaugh.
00:20:20.000So there was a piece in USA Today that a woman was promoting on Twitter in which she claimed that Brett Kavanaugh getting angry in front of the Senate is the reason that he shouldn't be on the court.
00:20:27.000So remember, the original reason he shouldn't be on the court was that he was a conservative.
00:20:32.000Then, the reason that he shouldn't be on the court is because he allegedly committed sexual assault.
00:20:35.000Then, when there was no corroborating evidence, he shouldn't sit on the court because he was partisan and angry.
00:20:40.000This woman at USA Today says, I remember my angry father and that's why Brett Kavanaugh shouldn't sit on the court.
00:20:47.000What in the world does that have to do with anything?
00:20:48.000What does that have to do with anything?
00:20:51.000That's like me saying, I was abused in high school by bullies.
00:20:54.000Brett Kavanaugh was a bully in high school.
00:21:02.000If a bad thing happened to you in your life thanks to a person who is not the person we're talking about, that doesn't mean that the person at issue actually committed a crime against a person who is not you.
00:21:13.000It's legitimately like saying, I have a relative who was murdered.
00:21:16.000That means that Senya committed murder of another person.
00:21:50.000And then, there's this letter from 650 law professors at the Washington Post, and I'll talk about that in just a second.
00:21:58.000But first, let's talk about how you keep your home safe.
00:22:01.000Ring's mission is to make neighborhoods safer.
00:22:02.000Today, over a million people use the amazing Ring Video Doorbell to help protect their homes.
00:22:06.000Ring knows home security begins at the front door, but it doesn't end there.
00:22:09.000So now they're extending that same level of security to the rest of your home with the Ring Floodlight Cam.
00:22:13.000Just like Ring's amazing doorbell, Floodlight Cam is a motion-activated camera and floodlight that connects right to your phone with HD video and two-way audio that lets you know the moment anyone steps on your property.
00:22:23.000See and speak to visitors, even set off an alarm right from your phone.
00:22:25.000With Ring's Floodlight Cam, the Ring Floodlight lets you know when things go bump in the night, so you're going to know what it is.
00:24:09.000And she says that she was basically molested by the doctor.
00:24:13.000So what is supposed to be the conclusion of this?
00:24:16.000I mean, I don't know what the conclusion's supposed to be.
00:24:19.000It says, Christine, I know the truth as you do.
00:24:22.000This logic is just as applicable to Crystal Mangum, who is the Duke Lacrosse rape accuser, who is lying, or Emma Sulkowicz, the Columbia University rape accuser, who is lying, or to Jackie, the University of Virginia rape accuser, who is lying.
00:24:36.000If the standard is something bad happened to me, so you're telling the truth, we have no system of due process, presumption of innocence, or justice.
00:24:45.0001,700 law professors have signed a letter that they sent to the New York Times and then sent on to the United States Senate on October 4th, and they talk about judicial temperament.
00:24:54.000So there are several cases now being brought against Kavanaugh based not on the original allegations, but based on ancillary allegations.
00:25:00.000So case number one is, something bad happened to me, so I believe Ford.
00:25:04.000Terrible case, illogical, makes no sense.
00:25:06.000Case number two, Brett Kavanaugh got mad.
00:25:41.000OK, there may have been one other, but like Charles Freed, I believe, was teaching contract law at the time.
00:25:47.000I'm not even sure he was a Republican by the time that I took his class.
00:25:50.000The number of actual Republicans or conservatives in the halls of law school academia are nil.
00:25:56.000So basically, we have a bunch of partisan Democrats signing letters saying they don't like Brett Kavanaugh because he got mad.
00:26:02.000Right, which again, as I said, that argument is so bad.
00:26:05.000It's like saying that when my daughter takes my little son's hand, she's four and a half, he's two and a half, when she takes his hand and she hits him in the face with it, and then she says, you're hitting yourself, and then he gets angry.
00:26:59.000But when Judge Kavanaugh gets angry that people are calling him a gang rapist on open television, then that's obviously a reason that he shouldn't be on the court.
00:27:07.000So that's case number two, is that Brett Kavanaugh got mad.
00:27:10.000Oh no, he got mad, and that means that he shouldn't be on the court.
00:27:14.000That's again a pretty astonishing claim.
00:27:17.000He got angry, therefore he shouldn't be on the court.
00:27:50.000Standard for perjury, section 1748, elements of perjury, materiality.
00:27:54.000The false statement must be material to the proceedings.
00:27:57.000A false statement is material if it has a natural tendency to influence or is capable of influencing the decision of the decision-making body to which it was addressed.
00:28:04.000The testimony not have actually influenced, misled, or impeded the proceedings.
00:28:09.000So if you lie to impede a grand jury's line of inquiry, then that would be a violation of perjury charges.
00:28:16.000If you're President Clinton, and you suggest you did not, in fact, have sex with that woman, that is legitimate perjury.
00:28:22.000But that is not the same thing as, you know, you're asked a question about whether it snowed on a particular day, you know it snowed, but you say it rained, and that has no actual material impact on the course of the investigation, that's perjury.
00:28:37.000It is important to note that all of his testimony was given in the context of him being accused of a gang rape by a bunch of Democrats.
00:28:45.000And then they were digging through his yearbook.
00:28:47.000So every claim that has been made about his lies has been that supposedly he downplayed his drinking or lies about his high school yearbook.
00:28:54.000Or lies about his high school yearbook.
00:29:05.000So Boing Boing is a far-left site, and so this means they're going to give about as comprehensive a view, well, it's actually from Media Matters, which is as comprehensive a view as you can come up with, of Brett Kavanaugh's lies.
00:30:24.000There's no evidence that he actually did black out from drinking.
00:30:27.000Now, the Democrats kept using Blackout from drinking because what they were attempting to establish is that he actually tried to rape Christine Blasey Ford and just didn't remember the incident.
00:30:36.000That's what they're attempting to say.
00:30:38.000But there's no actual evidence of that, so there's no lie there either.
00:30:42.000Now, what you could say is that he was playing his drinking in the most favorable possible light.
00:32:15.000But first, you're going to have to go over to dailywire.com and subscribe.
00:32:18.000So, just to note, this Friday, Daily Wire is launching the next chapter in Andrew Klavan's podcast series, Another Kingdom, as performed by the excrable Michael Mowles, who is actually not that excrable in his performance.
00:32:29.000If you aren't caught up on the first season of Another Kingdom, it will be available on the website.
00:32:33.000Subscribers to Daily Wire will get early access to every episode and all of it ad-free.
00:32:38.000This season, we've actually added a pretty awesome visual component.
00:34:24.000Also, it turns out that there are a lot of different ways that people use the word boof.
00:34:28.000Also something I didn't know, but there has been substantial research on the boofing, and it turns out that there's no way to substantiate that as a lie.
00:34:40.000Is that Brett Kavanaugh was using a pornographic reference about two dudes and one girl in a threesome.
00:34:45.000Again, he says that that was a drinking game.
00:34:47.000It seems a pretty weird way to obscure your past drunkenness to term Devil's Triangle a drinking game.
00:34:53.000But again, there are a bunch of people on Twitter who have said that they have heard of that as well.
00:34:58.000Okay, so there's a bunch of people who say, no, he actually meant that.
00:35:02.000Now, let's remember, why is any of this material?
00:35:05.000It's only material because the suggestion by Democrats is that if you put a bunch of sexual references on his Facebook page, that means he sexually assaulted a girl when he was 17.
00:35:13.000That in and of itself is an insane line of inquiry.
00:35:48.000Too many to count is precisely the right answer because, of course, have you ever met a teenage boy?
00:35:54.000I love all these senators who are drunk and louts going around like, oh, well, when you were 17, you wrote in your yearbook about drinking and making sexual references.
00:36:13.000But, if Brett Kavanaugh downplayed that in his testimony, this means he was a perjurer who cannot sit on the Supreme Court now that he is 60 years old.
00:37:00.000Then they narrow down to one thing and one thing only.
00:37:02.000Here is their only credible claim, in my opinion, their only credible claim that Brett Kavanaugh lied in his testimony.
00:37:08.000Their only credible claim is that there is a reference on 14 of the boys' yearbook pages about a woman named Renate Dolphin, who is an attendee of a local all-girls high school.
00:37:47.000The claim is that on 14 Boys Yearbook pages, there was a reference to Renate Alumnius, referring to her.
00:37:54.000And other references suggest that this was a joke among a bunch of guys, suggesting that they were alumni of her genitals, essentially.
00:38:04.000That there's a bunch of guys who'd had sex with her.
00:38:06.000And when Kavanaugh was asked about this, he said that this was an attempt, a clumsy attempt at affection among his friends.
00:38:13.000Right, that's what he said in his actual testimony.
00:38:16.000And I want to see if I can grab the actual text of the testimony so that I can find exactly what it is that he was claiming.
00:38:23.000But the basic suggestion of Brett Kavanaugh is that this was not, in fact, a reference to sex with Renate Alumnius.
00:38:34.000The Renate Alumnius was not a reference to sex with Renate Dolphin.
00:38:37.000The New York Times had a piece where they said that it was horrible and hurtful
00:38:41.000And here's what the New York Times said.
00:38:43.000They said that two of Judge Kavanaugh's classmates said the mentions of Rene were part of the football player's unsubstantiating boasting about their conquests.
00:38:50.000And Kavanaugh suggested that it was a clumsy attempt.
00:39:03.000I read you the materiality provision in the FBI, in the DOJ manual.
00:39:07.000And second of all, it is fair to say that a clumsy, a clumsily, here's how he phrased it, quote, one thing in particular we were sad about, one of our good, one of our good female friends, who we would admire and went to dances with, had her name used on our yearbook page with the term alumnus.
00:39:20.000That term was clumsily used to show affection, to show she was one of us.
00:39:24.000There is no way to substantiate anything differently.
00:39:26.000Except, theoretically, they could have gone and asked one of the other 13 guys who used your name on the pages if that's what that meant.
00:39:53.000That's definitely where I think that you're going to catch him.
00:39:56.000So, it's pretty obvious at this point that the Democrats will do anything to stop Brett Kavanaugh, and it's pretty gross.
00:40:03.000Now, speaking of doing anything to stop Brett Kavanaugh,
00:40:06.000Their last such attempt was on Wednesday.
00:40:07.000So Senate Democrats released the latest in an absurd spate of Democratic letters.
00:40:11.000They'd released a bunch of letters directed at Republicans asking for more information.
00:40:14.000Bernie Sanders wanted more information.
00:40:16.000And Senator Chuck Grassley responded to him by saying, are you actually considering voting for Kavanaugh?
00:40:21.000Because you said the day after he was nominated you wouldn't.
00:40:24.000And then Chris Coons wrote a letter asking for an FBI investigation into a non-verified and unbelievable allegation of sexual misconduct.
00:40:32.000Well, this time, this is what happened late last night,
00:40:35.000Senators Dick Durbin, Dianne Feinstein, Pat Leahy, Sheldon Whitehouse, Richard Blumenthal, Mazie Hirono, Cory Booker, and Kamala Harris wrote a letter suggesting that the confidential background investigation of Judge Kavanaugh from the FBI prior to the hearings, not the new one, showed there was information related in some way to inappropriate sexual behavior or alcohol abuse.
00:40:52.000So they wrote a vague letter saying that there was some intimation of inappropriate sexual behavior or alcohol abuse in his prior FBI background checks.
00:41:01.000He wasn't asked a single question at his original confirmation hearings about inappropriate sexual behavior or alcohol abuse.
00:41:07.000And by using the phrase, by phrasing it such that the Democrats were saying that in the past FBI background checks, there was evidence of quote, inappropriate sexual behavior or alcohol abuse, that somehow the Democrats knew something they weren't telling us.
00:41:20.000Well, it turns out they didn't know anything.
00:41:22.000It turns out they were just muddying the waters, which is completely unsurprising because that's where we are at this point in time.
00:41:29.000No wonder the Republicans are united on this.
00:41:40.000Like the new software update is just fantastic.
00:41:43.000So Lindsey Graham, the senator from South Carolina, ripped into Dianne Feinstein for ripping into Kavanaugh on his supposed anger on Fox News.
00:41:54.000I don't think she leaked Dr. Ford's name to the media, but somebody around her may have.
00:41:59.000If you saw this man as yelling, I saw a man who was offended to his core, defended his good name, took it to the people who were trying to destroy his family.
00:42:09.000What would you do if you were in that situation?
00:42:14.000Do what they've done to Judge Kavanaugh and reward them by saying he's no longer fit because he is in the world's worst position of defending himself against a bunch of garbage from people who don't care about fairness.
00:42:27.000Senator Graham was even better when he did some sort of public event with the Atlantic.
00:42:32.000He said that how Kavanaugh's been treated is despicable and the audience started booing him and he went directly after the audience, which was just spectacular.
00:42:39.000I don't like what the President said last night.
00:42:42.000I'm the first person to say, I want to hear from Dr. Ford.
00:42:46.000I thought she was handled respectfully.
00:42:49.000I thought Kavanaugh was treated like crap.
00:43:01.000And again, the hypocrisy of many members of the left on this, not all members of the left, but many members of the left on this is just astonishing.
00:43:06.000People who are saying, oh, it's just a job interview.
00:44:08.000Well, here she was on MSNBC explaining how much she hates that the GOP is suddenly tolerant of supposed sexual assault.
00:44:15.000I mean, I'm not sure if you were to have a real conversation with any American, whether they be Democrat or Republican, that they would side with this kind of behavior where we've reached a low where we're actually mocking people and their stories of hurt and of pain.
00:47:01.000But it means that some of the... that at least...
00:47:03.000He's open to having conversations, which is nice.
00:47:05.000I was talking to a reporter from the Washington Post yesterday, and I said, one of my chief irritants in life is the fact that I have strenuous disagreements with a lot of folks on the left.
00:47:13.000I'm willing to have a conversation with pretty much anybody on the left.
00:47:16.000On my Fox News show last Sunday, I had on Ariel Gold.
00:47:19.000I think she's wrong about pretty much everything.
00:47:21.000I was happy to have a conversation with her.
00:47:23.000I think she's wrong, like dead wrong, about everything.
00:47:26.000Happy to have a conversation with her.
00:47:43.000Half the people who I have invited on the show, I would say a significant percentage of the people on the left I have invited on the show, are people who don't have a platform as big as the platform I can give them.
00:47:52.000So it's not just about them legitimizing me, it's about them feeling that they are legitimizing an evil point of view by even having a conversation with me.
00:48:01.000And when Kanye says, well, Kyle, why don't you just go talk to Trump?
00:48:05.000It seems like a little more of that sort of conversation would be kind of good for the country.
00:48:08.000Okay, time for a couple of things that I hate.
00:48:14.000Okay, so thing number one that I hate.
00:49:50.000Okay, the people who are actually engaging in violence are a lot of folks on the left, and I love the implication that... It's so funny, the police were like, well, we're expecting some things might happen at USC tonight, and these student groups are saying things like, well, you know, if it does happen, it'll come from the other side.
00:50:13.000Again, I hope everything is peaceful tonight, but the suggestion that folks on the left are inherently nonviolent is insane.
00:50:18.000It's also insane in light of the story that broke yesterday.
00:50:22.000that is getting wildly undercovered, that a Democratic congressional staffer was arrested by Capitol Police yesterday, suspected in the doxing of some Republican senators last week.
00:50:31.000Personal information for Lindsey Graham, Mike Leonor, and Hatch was posted on Wikipedia the day of the Brett Kavanaugh hearing, and Gizmodo reported at the time that the Capitol Police had been notified.
00:50:40.000It turns out the guy who did it, allegedly, was Jackson Cosco, a 27-year-old who works for Representative Sheila Jackson Lee and was a staffer for Maggie Hassan and Barbara Boxer, both Democratic senators.
00:50:50.000Now, imagine if a Republican Senate staffer had leaked the location of a bunch of Democrats.
00:52:28.000Okay, so then he brought out, for folks who can't see, he brought out a table full of mushrooms because she said that Trump's genitals look like a mushroom.
00:52:35.000He brought out a table of mushrooms and had her identify these on air.
00:52:38.000I remember when all the late night comics did the exact same thing with Paula Jones.
00:53:02.000You were there voluntarily, and then you voluntarily had sex with him, and then you voluntarily kept in correspondence, and you're a victim?
