New evidence emerges that Christine Ford told untruths in her various stories and testimonies
00:00:05.760
related to Brett Kavanaugh. We will administer a lie detector test of our own to see who's
00:00:10.380
telling the truth. Then the New York Times breaks the shocking story that Brett Kavanaugh was a cool
00:00:16.440
guy in high school. Cory Booker has his immoral moment. Alyssa Milano professes love for a
00:00:22.260
credibly accused rapist. Kanye won't take off the hat and we talk about sex, baby. I'm Michael
00:00:27.700
Knowles and this is the Michael Knowles Show. Oh, we got a juicy show today. We got a lot of
00:00:39.020
allegations. We got a lot of lie detector tests, breaking news about Christine Ford. But before
00:00:44.860
we do that, I got to keep an eye on the time because I have got to thank our wonderful sponsor
00:00:49.160
Movement. Movement. You know Movement. They're that company started by those two college dropouts.
00:00:54.040
They've now sold almost 2 million watches in 160 plus countries. They continue to revolutionize
00:00:59.900
fashion on the belief that style shouldn't break the bank. I wear this watch all the time. This
00:01:05.400
one is the Atlas, I believe. The Atlas from the Revolver collection. It is super cool. I've never
00:01:12.320
gotten more compliments on a watch than on this watch. I love them. And what they do is if you
00:01:17.280
bought a watch like this in a department store, it would be 300 bucks, 400 bucks, maybe more.
00:01:21.500
These days, maybe more. But if you get it online, you cut out the middle man. The watches start at
00:01:26.840
just 95 bucks. You are not going to beat that anywhere. For this kind of quality, it is superb.
00:01:32.320
They figured out by selling online, you cut it out, you know, the retail markup goes away,
00:01:35.960
you get the best possible price. Classic design, quality construction, styled minimalism. The thing
00:01:40.300
I love about these watches is they've got a kind of old school charm to them, but they're not
00:01:44.560

00:02:12.620
details coming up on this scintillating Supreme Court nomination process. I know you're glued to
00:02:18.760
your seats to see what shocking new allegation next is going to come up for a milquetoast federal judge
00:02:24.660
with an unquestioned record of integrity until five seconds ago when it became politically convenient.
00:02:42.320
They're so serious, aren't they? Those Senate Democrats, they seem, they're such sober, serious people.
00:02:48.600
So the new, the change in the story right now is that an ex-boyfriend, an alleged ex-boyfriend
00:02:55.660
of Christine Ford has come out of the woodwork. They allegedly dated for about seven years
00:03:00.800
and he, and this isn't just some tabloid thing like he talked to Mike Labanati.
00:03:05.240
This is per a sworn testimony that was just released by Chuck Grassley.
00:03:09.340
The boyfriend's name has been redacted thus far, but Grassley's vouching for him.
00:03:14.160
He is contradicting a lot of Christine Ford's testimony. He's saying that she and he would fly
00:03:21.320
around all the time on airplanes. She didn't have a fear of flying and she never mentioned a sexual
00:03:25.460
assault to him. Now, this part we know is true because initially, remember, Christine Ford said,
00:03:31.220
oh, I can't testify before the Judiciary Committee because I'm, I'm terribly afraid of flying. It's
00:03:36.040
incapacitating. I just don't fly. And then we found out she did, she flies to New Hampshire. She flies
00:03:42.000
to Hawaii. That's a pretty long flight. She flew to French Polynesia. She's flying all over the place.
00:03:48.000
So he said, okay, that doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. She said, well, okay, I got over it,
00:03:51.840
but I'm afraid of confined spaces. I don't like small spaces. This guy's saying they lived in a
00:03:56.620
studio apartment. It was 500 square feet or something like that. He also says, and this is
00:04:01.280
crucial, that, uh, he personally saw Christine Ford coach a friend of hers on how to beat a polygraph
00:04:09.420
test. Now she, she was asked about this on, uh, during her testimony. And so this really raises a lot
00:04:17.820
of questions. Um, we will, we'll get into what the woman who allegedly was helped by Ford says in a
00:04:23.880
second, but let's just take a look from that testimony. When Rachel Mitchell, the prosecutor
00:04:28.240
hired by the Senate Judiciary Committee hones in on this question, says, did you ever help somebody to
00:04:34.180
take a polygraph test? Here's what Christine Ford says. Have you ever had discussions with anyone,
00:04:41.520
uh, besides your attorneys on how to take a polygraph? Never. And I don't just mean countermeasures,
00:04:51.360
but I mean, just any sort of tips or anything like that? No, I was scared of the test itself, but
00:05:02.160
was comfortable that I could tell the information and the test would reveal whatever it was going to
00:05:10.360
reveal. I didn't expect it to be as long as it was going to be. So it was a little bit stressful.
00:05:15.260
Have you ever given tips or advice to somebody who was looking to take a polygraph test?
00:05:21.240
Never. Now, when this question came up during the hearing, I think all of us were kind of
00:05:26.060
scratching our heads saying, what is this about? Why? I know she took a polygraph, but why are you,
00:05:30.420
why are you focusing in for three questions on this? Now I think we see why. And there's some weird
00:05:34.880
stuff that comes out of Ford's testimony here. She says, oh, I was so scared to take the polygraph
00:05:39.940
test. I was so afraid to take it, but I did it anyway. But Ford's people arranged the polygraph.
00:05:45.120
They paid for the polygraph test. Ford chose to do this. She volunteered to do this. So if she was
00:05:50.240
so afraid of it, why nobody was making her, it was just her own people doing it. Then she said,
00:05:53.880
oh, it took so long. I felt like I had told my whole life story. It just, it took so long to
00:05:58.140
administer the polygraph test. Polygraph test was two questions. Actually, the guy who did the
00:06:03.160
polygraph test, who administered it to her said, oh yeah, it was a friendly polygraph test. That's why,
00:06:07.740
you know, if this were a hostile polygraph test, if we were prosecutors, there was a criminal or
00:06:11.980
investigators or something like that, then it might've been a lot longer, but two questions.
00:06:15.560
So, okay. That doesn't seem very long to ask two simple questions. Then, uh, she won't give us a
00:06:21.440
lot of details about it. They asked her, when did you do the polygraph test? Did you do it on the day
00:06:25.300
of your grandmother's funeral, day after, day before? She said, I don't remember. Well, how do you not
00:06:30.580
remember? It was like a few weeks ago. How could you not remember that? Now to, to be fair to, uh,
00:06:36.980
Dr. Ford, uh, her friend who the ex-boyfriend alleges Ford helped to pass the polygraph test,
00:06:44.040
uh, her friend denies all of this. The woman's name is Monica McLean. Uh, she said that she's
00:06:48.400
never, uh, been helped by Dr. Ford. Uh, but the boyfriend does say this quote, Dr. Ford explained
00:06:54.900
in detail what to expect, how polygraphs worked and helped McLean become familiar and less nervous
00:07:00.780
about the exam. So now we have a, he said, she said, by the way, McLean signed a statement of support
00:07:06.440
for Dr. Ford a while ago, long before these accusations came out. But there are a lot of
00:07:12.440
inconsistencies in her testimony. So I don't really know. She won't give us details about
00:07:16.900
the polygraph. She won't release the psychiatrist records, which could validate some of what she's
00:07:22.360
said, but apparently it contradicts a lot of her testimony. And, uh, there are a lot of other claims
00:07:27.200
too that seem to be popping up. So, uh, according to this ex-boyfriend, uh, when he and Ford were in
00:07:33.680
Hawaii, they would fly around in a propeller plane. So it's not just that she took a jetliner to
00:07:38.020
Hawaii, the woman who had such a terrible fear of flying that she couldn't go anywhere. She, uh,
00:07:43.200
apparently took a little prop plane, this tiny little plane that, you know, if you're afraid
00:07:46.960
of confined spaces, don't get in a prop plane. You can't, you know, you can barely move around in
00:07:50.720
those things. Uh, then another, a huge one, because I got to tell you something. Uh, we've seen
00:07:57.540
sworn testimony. We've seen public testimony be nonsense here, right? Avenatti's client,
00:08:03.040
Julie Swetnick is clearly a complete loony tune, but she's giving testimony. So I don't know,
00:08:07.260
maybe the boyfriend is telling the truth. Maybe he isn't. I've got no less reason to believe him
00:08:11.280
than I have to believe Christine Ford. That's for sure. And yet everybody, especially on the left,
00:08:16.260
seems to be jumping to defend Ford and trying to brush off this ex-boyfriend's allegations.
00:08:20.760
But you'll remember, uh, I think a really key part of the Ford testimony seems to be falling
00:08:27.180
apart right now, not because of what the ex-boyfriend says, but because of what the Palo Alto government
00:08:31.620
says. Do you remember? She said that she, this whole thing came up, this whole alleged sexual
00:08:37.300
assault came up because they were remodeling their house, Ford and her husband, and Ford wanted to put
00:08:44.000
a second exterior door on the house because she needed an escape plan from this childhood trauma
00:08:50.640
that she couldn't get past. And it was, it was all about that. So, uh, well, I'll let,
00:08:56.840
I'll let her put it in her own words and then we'll see why her testimony is totally untrue.
00:09:02.280
I had never told the details to anyone, the specific details until May, 2012 during a couple's
00:09:09.780
counseling session. The reason this came up in counseling is that my husband and I had completed
00:09:16.620
a very extensive, very long remodel of our home. And I insisted on a second front door,
00:09:24.900
an idea that he and others disagreed with and could not understand in explaining why I wanted
00:09:33.140
a second front door. I began to describe the assault in detail. So two claims here, one,
00:09:40.680
that the second front door in her house, uh, was because she wanted an escape hatch to get out of
00:09:46.980
there because stemming from the psychological trauma of this alleged assault 36 years earlier.
00:09:51.660
And two, that the second door became an issue in her marriage in 2012. And that's when they had a
00:09:57.940
couple's counseling session about it. And that's when some description of some assault came up.
00:10:03.640
Paul Sperry at Real Clear Investigations has debunked a lot of this. He showed that the permit
00:10:09.260
to build an additional door in this house was not issued in 2012, but issued four years earlier on
00:10:14.860
February 4th, 2008, four years before the therapy session, four years before this allegedly became a
00:10:20.480
problem in their marriage. And, uh, those records show that the door was, uh, was not because she
00:10:26.860
needed an escape hatch from this delayed psychological trauma, but because she wanted a separate entrance
00:10:32.880
to her marriage counseling office. That that's very different than saying, I need an escape hatch.
00:10:38.580
If you're running a little business out of your house to have a separate door makes perfect sense.
00:10:42.600
You don't want people going into your foyer or your living room when they come into your office.
00:10:45.960
Uh, also it's previously been reported that students from local colleges, Google interns
00:10:52.060
would stay in this extra room and they would have a, uh, uh, spare door to go out of their own
00:10:57.360
independent door when she was renting out the room. Okay. Now she's saying, actually, I mean, look,
00:11:04.020
we know that Christine Ford's not great about dates. She doesn't know if it's 36 years ago, 35 years ago.
00:11:08.440
She doesn't know if the session was four years ago or was six years ago, whether it was 10 years ago,
00:11:13.460
but that's a big discrepancy. Four years is a big discrepancy and it's not just about the time.
00:11:18.160
It's about the cause. She's saying it was caused by psychological trauma, made an issue about her
00:11:21.960
marriage. What the building permits show and what the timeline shows is this was about a separate
00:11:26.920
marriage counseling office and about renting it out to college kids and Google interns.
00:11:31.860
So Christine Ford has told many untruths here, untruths about flying, untruths about traveling,
00:11:37.360
untruths about where she was, certainly untruths about who was at this alleged party. We know this
00:11:42.040
because she's changed her story between the Dianne Feinstein letter and the polygraph test.
00:11:46.540
And when she spoke before the Senate judiciary committee, and when she talked to the therapist,
00:11:50.760
she's told untruths about not only who was at the party, but who was in the room at the time.
00:11:54.320
And coincidentally, coincidentally, all of those varying truths always seem to trend in the direction
00:12:00.380
of being unfalsifiable and of making Brett Kavanaugh's position indefensible, making it such that he
00:12:07.680
has no way to go back and say, this didn't happen. See, here's the proof. It all keeps changing.
00:12:12.260
So is she a liar? I don't know. Is she telling untruths? Absolutely. And day by day, it seems that
00:12:18.760
she's lying. That's what it looks like. Before, by the way, we've got the breaking news, by the way,
00:12:24.500
and the evidence that Kavanaugh is innocent. Here's the best evidence we've got yet. Before we do that,
00:12:30.220
I have got to thank a wonderful sponsor at Lending Club. You know, not only are we going to make a
00:12:35.880
little money, honey, but you can get access to some money for those repairs that come down last
00:12:40.760
minute. Sometimes you need some quick money to make, for whatever reason, to pay off certain
00:12:46.240
bills, to pay off high interest credit cards. A lot of times people will put debt onto high interest
00:12:51.140
credit cards. Don't fall for that trap. It is so much easier. Rather than paying 18, 19% interest on
00:12:56.920
or more on credit cards, pay off those bills with one fixed monthly payment. Since 2007,
00:13:02.880
Lending Club has helped millions of people regain control of their finances with affordable fixed
00:13:07.100
rate personal loans. No trips to the bank, no high interest credit cards. Go to LendingClub.com.
00:13:12.020
Tell them about yourself, how much you want to borrow, pick the terms that are right for you.
00:13:15.240
If you're approved, your loan is automatically deposited into your bank account in as little as
00:13:19.680
a few days. That makes it pretty easy. It's the number one peer-to-peer lending platform with over
00:13:23.520
$35 billion, billion with a B in loans issued. Don't be stupid about money. Don't be penny wise
00:13:29.760
and pound foolish. If you've got to spend some money now, make a repair, pay off some loans,
00:13:33.740
do it so that you're not paying more money in the long run. Go to LendingClub.com slash

00:13:53.680
use for your money in the short term. All loans made by Web Bank, member FDIC, equal housing
00:13:58.260
lender, LendingClub.com slash Knowles. So the reason that I suspect that something even a little
00:14:05.560
more than innocent untruths is going on is because they keep adding up. Regardless of whether this
00:14:10.420
boyfriend is legit, between the travel, between the planning of building their house, between the
00:14:16.360
timing of accusations, I'm just starting to think maybe there's something a little fishy going on
00:14:21.400
here. The other reason I think this is because the left is moving on. If the left, the New York
00:14:27.740
Times, CNN, the Democrats on the Judiciary Committee, if they really believed that these
00:14:32.920
Christine Ford allegations were true, they'd be harping on them. Notice that they're not harping on
00:14:37.820
them. They're talking about some party at Yale and his fraternity did something and he threw ice at a
00:14:43.420
bar and blah, blah, blah, whatever. So on this point, the New York Times has a new scoop. This one just
00:14:50.080
came out last night. It's breaking news. I don't know. Are you, make sure you're sitting down. If
00:14:54.540
you're driving, pull over to the side of the road. This one is pretty shocking. It turns out that in
00:14:58.080
high school, Brett Kavanaugh was a cool guy. This is the scoop. This is from the 1983, a letter from
00:15:05.060
Brett Kavanaugh. The New York Times reports, quote, one night during his senior year, according to
00:15:10.120
classmates who witnessed it, Judge Kavanaugh triumphantly hoisted an empty beer keg above
00:15:16.120
his head in recognition that he and his friends were well on their way to reaching their goal of
00:15:21.680
polishing off, I don't even know if I can say it, 100 kegs during the academic year, an achievement
00:15:28.400
they later boasted about in their yearbook. Oh my gosh, he probably smoked cigarettes too. He probably
00:15:34.260
smoked cigarettes. Do we, are there, is there any breaking news on that yet? Did he ever,
00:15:39.160
did he ever like eat too much candy on Halloween and then feel sick afterwards? That monster, that bad
00:15:45.600
guy. I bet he jaywalked too, by the way. I don't want to make, I don't want to make uncorroborated
00:15:50.100
accusations, but I bet one time when the, the red hand was on the sign, he crossed the street anyway,
00:15:55.820
you sick monster. You can't, you don't have the temperament to be on the court. You had beer in high
00:16:01.200
school. Nobody, does anybody have beer? Oh no, everybody has beer in high school. Nevermind.
00:16:06.180
I'm sorry. I guess I got that wrong. Every single person. This is the best they got. They, this one
00:16:12.480
makes the ice throwing at the bar in New Haven seem like, I don't know, the teapot dome scandal. You
00:16:18.900
know, I mean, it really, this is really sad guys. Wonderful news for Brett Kavanaugh. Again, Cocaine Mitch
00:16:26.780
seems to have been playing this pretty smart. I really think this vote should have happened two
00:16:31.020
weeks ago, but every day that this has been going on, I really think it bodes well for Kavanaugh.
00:16:36.280
Lindsey Graham yesterday suggested if they shoot down Kavanaugh, if Jeff Flake, for instance, is
00:16:41.080
signaling he might not vote for Kavanaugh because Jeff Flake is a despicable coward. They're going to
00:16:46.660
change the, uh, the word quizzling in the dictionary. It's going to be flaking now. And, uh, coincidentally,
00:16:52.200
I suppose that in a way that is sort of what flaking means. So all nature is, but art unknown to thee.
00:16:56.780
Um, if they do that, they should renominate him. It will be a red tsunami. It will be a red wave.
00:17:02.820
We're going to pick up a lot of States. It's going to be beautiful. So, uh, either way, I guess that's
00:17:07.040
a win-win. Uh, the Democrats are behaving in a really immoral way here. This is beyond just tough
00:17:13.620
politics. I can forgive tough politics. I get it. It's not a big deal, but to ruin this guy's life,
00:17:19.220
to, to say that, to, that we should not have any due process in America, that people should be presumed
00:17:24.520
guilty until proven innocent. That is really wicked behavior. That's really immoral. And nobody
00:17:29.980
is better at inverting morality and inverting virtue, I think, than Cory Booker in his weepy,
00:17:38.020
weird press conferences. Here is Cory Booker talking about our moral moment.
00:17:42.480
So my hope is that just beyond the vicious partisan rancor that is going on, beyond
00:17:50.220
the accusations, we don't lose sight of what this moral moment is about in this country
00:17:56.100
and ultimately ask ourselves the question, is this the right person to sit on the highest court
00:18:01.300
in the land for a lifetime appointment when their credibility has been challenged by intimates,
00:18:07.960
people that knew the candidate well as a classmate, when his temperament has been revealed in an
00:18:14.740
emotional moment where he used language that, that frankly shocked a lot of us. And then ultimately,
00:18:21.600
not whether he's innocent or guilty, this is not a trial, but ultimately,
00:18:27.860
has enough questions be raised that we should not move on to another candidate.
00:18:33.980
It's not about whether he's innocent or guilty. You heard Cory Booker say it.
00:18:37.740
It doesn't, who cares if he's innocent or guilty? We don't like him, so we're going to ruin his life
00:18:42.200
and call him a rapist. Cory Booker, by the way, who wrote an op-ed about how he groped a girl at a
00:18:48.940
party when he was a young man, how he was groping her, how he actually did what Brett Kavanaugh
00:18:53.520
apparently has been falsely accused of doing, what it seems that Brett Kavanaugh has been falsely
00:18:57.520
accused of doing, Cory Booker actually did. And he goes out there with his earnest face and his
00:19:02.080
warbly little earnest voice. And he says, we're in a moral moment. And that's why we need to
00:19:06.340
destroy the innocent, regardless of their innocence, regardless of their guilt. We need
00:19:11.160
to destroy people without any evidence because I'm Cory Booker. He, and by the way, I didn't
00:19:15.800
notice this until now. I was just looking. When Cory Booker gets his really earnest face on, his eyes
00:19:19.780
go a little googly. They go, one goes in a little bit in one direction, one goes in the other,
00:19:23.840
presumably so one eye can watch CNN and the other eye can read the New York Times at the same time and
00:19:28.380
get the ridiculous propaganda going into his head. This is despicable. Moral moment. I say this all the
00:19:35.200
time that the left uses language to mean the opposite of what it really means. He is describing
00:19:40.680
moral behavior as running roughshod over people, regardless of their guilt or innocence, regardless
00:19:46.860
of what they do, and destroying their lives, destroying their career. And by the way, most
00:19:51.260
importantly, undercutting our constitutional order, undercutting the right of a president to appoint
00:19:57.060
judges. Elections have consequences. President Trump won the 2016 election. I know that Democrats
00:20:02.980
still deny that that happened, but it did happen. And he has the right to pick jurists.
00:20:07.960
By the way, the 2016 election was in many ways decided on the judges that President Trump would
00:20:13.720
pick. I'd think if Antonin Scalia had not died so close to the election, probably President Trump
00:20:20.100
would have had a much harder time winning that election. But he was elected largely to appoint these
00:20:24.900
kinds of judges. And Cory Booker is saying what we need to do is destroy innocent people, destroy their
00:20:30.980
lives based on nothing. And he even admits, I don't even care if they're guilty. I don't even care if
00:20:35.520
they're guilty. And he calls that a moral moment. That is an immoral moment. I know Cory Booker went
00:20:39.920
to Yale Law School too. It's amazing how much of this circles around all those ice throwing bars in New
00:20:44.720
Haven. But that is the moral question here. He's twisting his language, twisting what his immoral
00:20:54.480
behavior, the immoral behavior of Kamala Harris, of Dianne Feinstein, of the entire Democratic caucus,
00:21:00.140
especially on the Senate Judiciary Committee. It's really, really bad. He's saying if enough
00:21:05.320
questions are raised, then we should be able to ruin a man's life. Did Cory Booker collaborate with
00:21:12.820
the Nazis? Did he? I'm just asking questions. Did Cory Booker help the fall of Rome? Did he hasten the
00:21:21.740
fall of Rome by helping the various Goths and Visigoths knock down the walls and come on over? Did that
00:21:27.960
happen? Is that what, I don't know if that's what happened. I'm just asking questions. I'm just
00:21:32.460
asking questions. What do I know? Did Cory Booker blow up the Hindenburg? I'm just asking questions.
00:21:40.180
And look, I don't, I don't know that Cory Booker called the, caused the fall of Rome. I don't know
00:21:45.040
that Cory Booker collaborated with the Nazis and I don't know whether or not he blew up the Hindenburg.
00:21:49.920
But enough questions have been raised that I think at this point it is only right and fair for Cory
00:21:55.180
Booker to resign his seat in the United States Senate. We have to move on. This is a moral
00:21:59.460
moment. Okay. Enough. How many questions have been raised? I just raised like three. How many
00:22:04.180
other, I bet you guys are raising questions in the comments and on Twitter right now. There are a lot
00:22:07.680
of questions. It's the only right thing to do is for Cory Booker to step down, to turn himself into
00:22:11.960
the police, to serve a life sentence for collaborating with the Nazis. Questions. Questions have been raised.
00:22:17.240
So that's their moment. And I actually like this moral moment. One, because I get to make fun of
00:22:23.420
Cory Booker. But two, because injustice, a feeling of injustice is driving people in droves toward the
00:22:31.060
GOP. Driving them in droves. This was the thought in 2016, the thought that Hillary Clinton could get
00:22:38.920
away with what she did. You know, Richard Nixon lost the, resigned the presidency after he won a
00:22:46.660
landslide election. He resigned the presidency because he deleted 11 minutes of tape. Hillary
00:22:53.200
Clinton used a bleach bit to wipe entire servers, destroy years and years of federal records. What
00:23:00.180
did those federal records show? I guess we'll never know because she deleted those records. And what did
00:23:04.060
she face? What was her consequence for that? Nothing. Nothing. And that injustice drove a lot of people to
00:23:10.480
the polls. The judicial system, our system of justice, drove a lot of people to the polls because people
00:23:15.580
felt that the constitution wasn't being respected, that left-wing activist jurists were running roughshod
00:23:21.020
over our founding document and the framework of our republic. Drove a lot of people to the polls. I
00:23:25.340
think it's doing the exact same now. I think people are watching this Kavanaugh circus and they're
00:23:30.000
saying, Cory Booker, are you out of your mind? No, it does matter if he's innocent or guilty. It does
00:23:35.820
matter if people make accusations within statutes of limitations. It does matter if there's evidence,
00:23:41.740
corroboration, or if people are contradicting themselves in testimony like Christine
00:23:45.320
Ford. Justice does matter. So keep it up, man. You know, Republicans are shooting way up in the
00:23:51.960
polls in these swing states in seats that are, Senate seats that are being held by Democrats.
00:23:56.640
That's happening in North Dakota. It's happening in Missouri. It's happening in Montana. It's
00:24:00.020
happening in India. It's happening all over the place. So keep going, man. Keep talking about how
00:24:04.020
it doesn't matter, guilt or innocence, this, this cynical question that we find all the way back in
00:24:09.080
scripture, which is what is truth? Oh, what is truth? Fine. Keep asking it. We're going to,
00:24:13.540
we're going to get that red wave in November. Alyssa Milano is demonstrating this beautifully. I love
00:24:17.880
Alyssa Milano. She, uh, you know, she's been the craziest of the, of the anti-Kavanaugh people.
00:24:23.880
She showed up to the hearing. I don't know why she showed up. Dianne Feinstein invited her so that she
00:24:29.600
could, she was sitting there at the hearing because she thought she was in a movie or something.
00:24:33.480
There's Brett Kavanaugh up there and she's got her glasses down, holding up a believe all women's
00:24:37.560
signs. She's staring daggers into the guy. The, the trouble for Alyssa Milano, just like the trouble
00:24:43.860
for Democrats is that the internet is forever and history is long. So I don't know who dug it up
00:24:49.240
yesterday. Fleckis Talks, uh, Austin Fletcher sent, sent it over to me. Uh, there was a 2012 tweet
00:24:54.840
that Alyssa Milano sent out. The tweet reads, quote, Bill Clinton, I love you so much. Like
00:25:03.160
crazy amounts of love. Alyssa Milano, hashtag believe all women holding up the believe all
00:25:11.300
women while she says Brett Kavanaugh is a rapist. He hasn't even actually been accused of rape
00:25:14.880
other than by Avenatti's Looney Tune, uh, client, but certainly hasn't been accused by rape of Dr.
00:25:21.360
Ford or anybody. And, uh, she says, I believe all women Kavanaugh has got to go down. I love Bill
00:25:27.500
Clinton, like crazy amounts of love. Now let's not forget for those of you who need a little refresher
00:25:31.940
in history. Bill Clinton has been credibly accused of sexual assault. I know we bandy that word about
00:25:37.720
a lot, but talk about, if any accusations are credible, it's the ones against Bill Clinton.
00:25:42.520
He's accused of rape by Juanita Broderick. He was accused of assault by Kathleen Willey,
00:25:47.100
Leslie Milwey, and Paula Jones of exposing himself to her. Uh, this has gone on for years. It happened.
00:25:54.880
The accusations came out much closer to the alleged events and they've stuck by their story for years
00:25:59.780
and years and years. And in cases there were, there was corroborating evidence. And we know that
00:26:03.840
his derelict sexual behavior in office came out because he was, uh, uh, having sexual relations
00:26:10.780
with a 22 year old, 21 year old intern in the Oval Office while he was president. How do we know that?
00:26:16.100
Because of that little blue dress. So, uh, talk about credible accusations there. Uh, Alyssa Milano
00:26:21.000
doesn't care. And this is my real issue with this because what the Kavanaugh circus is, is really
00:26:27.720
about is Roe versus Wade is whether, uh, we're going to have nine robed dictators on the court
00:26:34.340
telling us how we're going to live our lives or whether we're going to leave that up to the
00:26:36.880
American people and whether certain States can have whatever they want and certain States can
00:26:40.720
have other laws. And Roe versus Wade took that question of abortion out of the court of public
00:26:46.060
opinion, out of the legislative process, out of the democratic process where it belongs.
00:26:49.980
And we've been fighting about it ever since it's where the Borking came from. It's where the
00:26:55.320
torpedoing of Robert Bork's nomination came from. It's where Clarence Thomas's attacks came from.
00:26:59.440
And it's where this Kavanaugh attack is coming from. I can acknowledge the political dimension
00:27:03.800
of this. Democrats want, they preen and they moralize and they get up on their soapbox and
00:27:08.060
they say, we believe all women. You don't believe women. You just said you love Bill Clinton. He's
00:27:12.320
been accused of sexual assault by multiple people for years and years and years. So nevermind,
00:27:16.960
nevermind. That's fine. Look, if you want to say the policy is more important than the
00:27:21.080
moral behavior of this one guy, fair enough point if you believe that. But don't get up there and
00:27:26.700
tell me that I'm some immoral person because I think that people should be assumed innocent until
00:27:32.940
proven guilty or that the questions of public policy like abortion should be left in the legislature
00:27:37.960
where they belong or that there's no constitutional right to an abortion or that 30 allegations that
00:27:44.480
were not made for 36 years where there's no corroboration whatsoever, even by the people
00:27:50.980
the accuser names that maybe they're not totally credible. Don't get up there and moralize and call
00:27:55.440
me a wicked person or a misogynist or whatever. It's an outrage. It just isn't true. So then the
00:28:00.980
question we have to bring ourselves to is why are we talking about sex so much? Why is there so much
00:28:07.540
sex? Let's talk about sex, baby. We mentioned yesterday that rapist is the new racist. It's just the
00:28:13.220
disgusting epithet that they throw at people that they don't like when you're on the left.
00:28:19.280
But part of the reason that we're so obsessed with sex, first of all, is the sexual revolution.
00:28:23.360
Ever since the 1960s, people have just talked about sex a lot more. It's been much more public.
00:28:27.900
People have been much freer with sex, which is, you know, some people enjoy that for a certain time.
00:28:34.240
Lord, make me chaste, but not yet, as St. Augustine once said. But it has really permeated all aspects of
00:28:40.060
the culture. Why else? Because it's scintillating. Sex has always been scintillating. There have always
00:28:44.020
been sex scandals in politics. But I think most importantly, it's because the left lacks maturity.
00:28:49.860
You know, they wear the hats of genitalia on their head. Every single line, every little joke,
00:28:55.200
every argument they make is suck this and F that, do this and screw that. And, you know,
00:29:00.580
it gets a little, their vocabulary is a little small. It's because they lack the maturity and the
00:29:05.100
intellectual resources to discuss substantive disagreements. There was that study from John
00:29:11.080
Haidt a few years ago that said that the right basically understands the left. The left doesn't
00:29:14.980
really understand the right very well at all. And I've always found this to be true. I was at this
00:29:20.380
event with a bunch of lefties the other night in Hollywood. I don't think they understand our point
00:29:25.000
of view. They can't articulate it. They have a very limited vocabulary. And so they only, they limit
00:29:30.120
their vocabulary to like five words, all of which are scatological or gynecological or whatever
00:29:36.520
genital. Um, and, and you see this now, especially in their PSAs. There have been versions of this
00:29:43.340
before, but those kids and by kids, I mean, Scooter Braun and George Clooney and all the Hollywood
00:29:47.440
elites who actually are behind it. The ones actually behind the March for our lives, the anti-gun
00:29:52.340
group, they have a new PSA out telling people, uh, why they should vote, but Ooh, wait,
00:29:57.640
there's a little twist. Ooh, are you ready? It's so clever. Here we go. My first time. I was
00:30:03.820
nervous. My first time was in the back of a firehouse. I was in a church. It was amazing.
00:30:12.720
My first time, everybody clapped afterwards. I mean, I didn't know how to, how to, how to do it.
00:30:17.640
Where to put it, you know, where to slide it in. There were so many options. Like, um,
00:30:22.500
you never know what it's going to be like when it actually, when you do it. So finally, I just,
00:30:28.280
you know, I just went and I just did it. I voted. My first time with a woman was 2016.
00:30:36.700
It felt good, but it ended badly. You get it? It's about sex. You, uh, you thought it,
00:30:43.720
you thought it was about sex. It's about, then it was about voting. It was about sex. Now it's
00:30:48.680
about voting. Ha ha ha ha ha. So this is about the level of political discourse on the left.
00:30:54.780
And, uh, also just so sad. Like, you know, the, that guys, uh, you know, my first time with a
00:31:00.340
woman was done, you know, he's wearing like the Democrat uniform. I don't know. He's kind of like
00:31:03.660
doing a little pout and everything. It's a really sad. It's really, to borrow a phrase from our
00:31:09.160
president, sad, not, uh, not the manliest display here. And masculinity does really play a role in all
00:31:15.820
of this. We'll, we'll get to that with Kanye West. We'll get to that beyond Kanye West. We'll
00:31:19.840
get to that with, uh, ambassador John Bolton is something that a lot of people aren't talking
00:31:23.960
about when they discuss the Trump phenomenon, what's going on with Kavanaugh, what's going on
00:31:28.220
in our politics is manliness, masculinity, a bad word for a long time, coming back in style.
00:31:35.520
We'll get into all of that. But first I've got to say goodbye to Facebook and YouTube. If you're
00:31:38.820
on dailywire.com, thank you very much. You help keep the lights on. You keep Covfefe in my cup.
00:31:43.220
If you're on Facebook and YouTube, go to dailywire.com. You'll get me, you'll get the
00:31:46.480
Andrew Plavin show. You get the Ben Shapiro show. You have to ask questions in the mailbag. You have
00:31:49.540
to ask questions in the conversation. None of that matters. That's very good. This batch,
00:31:59.220
this is a, an upcoming vintage. Uh, this is the vintage for, uh, after the election, we're going
00:32:06.060
to release this vintage after the election and we're serving it up from all of the people who
00:32:10.860
are telling everyone to go out and vote. And then they're going to be shocked when they all vote
00:32:13.840
for Republicans, when they all vote for Donald Trump. This is kind of a play. We knew the 2016
00:32:18.280
vintage was so popular. We wanted to release it again in 2018, but Kavanaugh better get confirmed
00:32:22.920
for us to be able to release it. This coming Monday, October 8th, Daily Wire will be launching
00:32:27.440
for subscribers only the next chapter in Andrew Plavin's podcast series, Another Kingdom performed
00:32:33.900

00:33:32.120
and subscribe. So a lot of this, actually, this is sort of a tie-in with Another Kingdom.
00:33:47.000
Another Kingdom explores themes of masculinity and what it means masculinity and femininity.
00:33:53.020
We're talking about sex, baby. This whole show's about sex. This whole two weeks, three weeks
00:33:58.040
has been about sex. What we saw in that commercial that I voted for the first time, blah, blah, blah,
00:34:05.960
is people say, I voted for a woman. Oh, it was so nice. It's this kind of meek, timid, tee-hee-hee.
00:34:12.200
Oh, well, I'm really gentle. I'm okay. But where's the confidence? Where's the masculinity? Where's
00:34:19.480
telling it like it is? A lot of this Trump moment is telling it like it is. It's a lot of covfefe.
00:34:25.300
It's a lot of dragon energy. Who better to expound on this than Kanye West? He was sitting
00:34:29.760
down with the head of TMZ, the head of TMZ, begging him, begging him to stop wearing that
00:34:35.680
MAGA hat, that Donald Trump hat. Kanye West looks him right in his face and tells it like
00:34:43.220
Yes. I would love it, Kanye, if you would not wear that hat. It would make me and a lot
00:34:48.260
of other people feel better. In fact, why don't we say, please take off the hat, Kanye.
00:34:56.560
Ah, then I won't do it. Because you have a right to wear it.
00:35:00.340
Exactly. First amendment, baby. First amendment.
00:35:03.460
As an American, I support our president. Bottom line, no matter who they are. As an American,
00:35:11.320
I support our president. Now, I already told you what this represents for me. This represents
00:35:18.620
y'all can't bully me. Y'all can't bully me because you can't tell me what to do because
00:35:27.760
that's what people used to do. They would snatch your hat off. You have a starter cap and like
00:35:33.580
a big, a gangbanger come up and try to rip your hat off. And ain't nobody ripping my hat
00:35:39.740
off again. So that's what it represents to me. It also represents for me masculine energy.
00:35:49.000
This is exactly right. Again, I know we're living in the matrix because Lindsey Graham
00:35:53.540
is the backbone of the GOP and Kanye West is the voice of reason, but he's exactly right.
00:35:58.420
I love that at the beginning, that TMZ guy. He says, take it off. Please take off the hat.
00:36:02.860
Please take off the hat. Kanye West says, not going to take off that hat. Not going to do it.
00:36:07.540
Alyssa Milano sent out this tweet yesterday of Kanye dressed up like Trump with the Trump hair
00:36:12.780
and everything. And it said, make Kanye Kanye again. M-K-K-A. I think she's missing another K.
00:36:19.380
I think that third K is missing somewhere from her tweet because what she's saying is you are Kanye
00:36:24.880
West. What does that mean? You're Kanye West. You look a certain way. You talk a certain way. You
00:36:29.080
behave a certain way. You work a certain way. You're in a certain industry.
00:36:31.840
You can't be a Republican. You have to be a Democrat. This party owns you and you better
00:36:37.140
kowtow to the party line. And he's saying, no, I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it.
00:36:42.760
He says later on in that interview, he says, I support our president, whoever it is.
00:36:48.780
Now I'm old enough to remember when he said George W. Bush doesn't care about black people. So I don't
00:36:52.420
know that he always supported the president, no matter who it is. I think he especially supports
00:36:56.340
Donald Trump. I think they're kindred spirits. I think they both have dragon energy.
00:36:59.860
And what does that mean? He spells out what it means. He said it's about masculinity.
00:37:04.940
There's a masculine energy there. And that is, of course there is. That's why everything is
00:37:09.660
becoming about sex here. That's why everything is becoming Donald Trump is an abuser. He,
00:37:14.800
because he only paid Stormy Daniels $150,000. He should have given her $200,000. And Kavanaugh is a
00:37:20.520
rapist, even though he's never been accused of anything like that ever in his entire life.
00:37:24.100
And this guy, it's all about masculinity because we are staring down the left right now. And they're
00:37:29.720
saying, they're just nagging us to death. They're saying, well, please, I know maybe he's guilty,
00:37:34.160
maybe he's innocent, but you just have to withdraw him. And you have to, and you have to, and you have
00:37:37.420
to. And we're looking Cory Booker right in his quivering, bizarre, googly eyed face. And we're
00:37:43.420
saying, no, you don't get to bully us into doing this. Not anymore. Sorry, buddy. But I really want
00:37:50.900
you to take the hat off. Not going to, I'm wearing two hats now. I'm going to wear two hats. I'm going
00:37:54.340
to wear a hat on my head. I'm going to wear a hat on each fist. I'm going to wear a hat on my kneecaps.
00:37:59.360
You can't bully us anymore. And that is masculine. I, Harvey Mansfield wrote this great book about
00:38:06.960
manliness a number of years ago. And masculinity is not just like knuckle dragging. Manliness is not
00:38:13.200
just being some brute. To be a man is to be a gentleman too, holding the door. Harvey describes
00:38:19.760
it very well in this book where he says, the manliness is when you hold the door open for a
00:38:25.640
woman and you tell her to pass through. And then when there's some robber in the room or some criminal
00:38:31.940
is walking by, you look her in the face and you say, get out of my way. And you go and you fight the
00:38:36.720
guy. You know, those are two sides of manliness. One is aggressive and strong. One is gentlemanly and
00:38:42.240
chivalrous, but there are two sides of it. And for a long time, we've been told that masculinity
00:38:46.920
is toxic. Masculinity is evil. It's bad. The future is feminine. Men are scum. Men are trash.
00:38:53.020
These are hashtags that go around feminist Twitter. I'm not making this up. And what guys like all the
00:38:58.540
way from Kanye West to Donald Trump, to John Bolton, to Brett Kavanaugh are saying is no, you're not going
00:39:05.100
to bully us. You're not going to push us around. And quivering lips and fake crocodile tears from the likes of
00:39:10.880
Cory Booker and Dianne Feinstein aren't going to work anymore. You're not going to manipulate us.
00:39:15.960
You're not going to twist our emotions to pervert justice, to pervert the meaning of language and to
00:39:20.640
pervert our constitutional Republic. Just ain't going to happen. Sorry, buddy. And they can't take
00:39:25.660
it. They haven't been. Democrats have not been talked to this way in a very long time, but it's a
00:39:29.700
beautiful thing. And that's virtuous. The Democrats virtue signal, but that's virtue. Virtue comes from
00:39:35.440
ver, the Latin word ver, which is man. There's a manly component to virtue. It ties in with
00:39:41.200
political correctness. It ties in with this innocent until proven guilty and not getting
00:39:45.820
torpedoed for saying impolite words on a hidden camera, for not believing one sex over the other.
00:39:52.420
Believe all women. Don't believe any men. Believe women by virtue of their being women. Disbelieve
00:39:56.520
men by virtue of their being men. It ties into policy, to the United Nations, to Israel, to North Korea,
00:40:01.860
to, to the trade deals, to the international criminal court. John Bolton summed this up
00:40:06.660
beautifully the other day. You know, he was, he was asked, he referred to the so-called state of
00:40:13.120
Palestine. And he, the summer reporter said, well, isn't that offensive language? And he said,
00:40:21.560
that's what it is. Palestine's not a state. You keep referring to it as a state. So it's a so-called
00:40:26.300
state, but it's not a state. It doesn't meet the criteria of a state. It hasn't been recognized as a
00:40:30.240
state ever. It's not a state. She said, oh, but, but it's offensive. It's true. Sometimes the truth
00:40:37.120
is offensive. Sad. Sorry. Sorry. Get, get used to it. Uh, the, the international criminal, uh, the
00:40:42.260
international court of justice rather at the United Nations right now is ordering the United States
00:40:47.220
to lift its sanctions of Iran. You know, like the worst people on planet earth, they're saying the
00:40:53.300
United States has to lift the sanctions on Iran. And do you know what the United States, if this were
00:40:57.260
the Obama administration, that's okay, we'll fly over three more airplanes full of cash.
00:41:01.560
But because this is the Trump administration, cause we have a little of that masculine Kanye
00:41:05.180
energy. Do you know what the United States said to the UN? For those of you who are only listening,
00:41:10.560
cause you don't subscribe. I just made a Sicilian gesture where I put my four fingers under my chin
00:41:15.300
and flicked it forward. That's what the United States is doing to the United Nations right now.
00:41:19.700
So we don't care what you think. We don't care. Enforce your absurd and despicable and immoral
00:41:26.000
rulings. Enforce your orders on the United States. Good luck, buddy. Uh, part of why the
00:41:31.300
left is so angry right now is the humor of it all. Cause we're, we're mocking them a little.
00:41:37.580
We're mocking these people who say, isn't the state of Palestine, you know, to call it
00:41:41.360
so-called that's offensive. We said, why is it offensive? It's true. Do you remember during
00:41:44.420
the 2016 campaign, one of the moments Trump won me over is when he referred to anchor babies
00:41:49.380
and some reporter said, that's offensive. And he said, what's offensive? So you should call
00:41:53.180
him future, future dreaming American dreamer citizen. And he said, yeah, I'm going to stick
00:41:59.860
with anchor baby. That was very funny. We're mocking these silly notions. And this is what
00:42:04.520
president Trump did last night. He mocked the inconsistencies, the vague, and in many ways
00:42:11.680
untrue in many instances, demonstrably false accusations being hurled at the 11th hour against
00:42:17.480
Brett Kavanaugh. And it was hilarious. And the left is furious. Take it away. President
00:42:21.080
God, what he's going through 36 years ago, this happened. I had one beer, right? I had
00:42:29.960
one beer. Well, you think it was, nope, it was one beer. Oh, good. How did you get home?
00:42:36.080
I don't remember. How'd you get there? I don't remember. Where is the place? I don't remember.
00:42:39.740
How many years ago was it? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
00:42:49.560
What neighborhood was it in? I don't know. Where's the house? I don't know.
00:42:54.340
Upstairs, downstairs, where was it? I don't know. But I had one beer. That's the only thing I remember.
00:42:58.460
And a man's life is in tatters. A man's life is shattered. His wife is shattered. His daughters,
00:43:09.580
who are beautiful, incredible young kids, they destroy people. They want to destroy people.
00:43:19.260
He's going, holding no punches back, and he's having fun while he's doing it. He's having fun
00:43:25.100
while he's doing it, and they're so furious. What is he mocking here? I just want to be very
00:43:31.100
specific on where the comedy is here. He isn't mocking Ford's appearance. He isn't mocking the
00:43:37.020
way that she speaks exactly. He got in trouble because he mocked a reporter who, it turned out,
00:43:44.560
had a disability, and he kind of made him look spastic, even though the reporter's not spastic,
00:43:48.880
even though Trump has done the same impression for plenty of other people that he just thinks
00:43:52.480
aren't all that bright and that he disagrees with. But he got in trouble for that. That's not what
00:43:56.660
he's mocking here. What he's mocking here is the flimsiness of the accusations, and he is exactly
00:44:01.700
right to do it. I mean, I've been doing it now for a few days, so I hope he's right to do it.
00:44:06.600
These are so flimsy, and it's perfectly right to mock them. We should be ready to mock them much more.
00:44:13.560
The left says, how dare you? That's toxic masculinity. You can't laugh. It's
00:44:18.820
super serious. I don't care if he's innocent or guilty. It's super serious. We're saying,
00:44:22.780
no, it's not. Calm down. You're being ridiculous. Shh. Stop it. Corey, stop it. Shh. You're being
00:44:28.780
ridiculous. Sit down. Sit down right now. And it's a wonderful thing. I'm glad that we get to finally
00:44:33.800
see that here. I think we should use humor a lot more. I think a lot of people are glad that in
00:44:38.480
this culture where you've got the left totally addicted to outrage, purple hair, no, screaming,
00:44:45.060
you know, furious, chasing Republicans to their homes, keeping their children up at night,
00:44:50.240
forcing them out of restaurants, behaving like little punk thug children criminals that we can
00:44:57.140
laugh at them. We're not going to take them seriously. We're not going to take them seriously,
00:45:01.440
and we're not going to take inconsistent, flimsy, vague, constantly changing last minute, 11th hour
00:45:08.200
charges to derail a perfectly legitimate Supreme Court nominee of hitherto unquestioned integrity
00:45:15.080
and character. We're not going to take those seriously either. If you want to bring some
00:45:18.420
serious allegations with any corroborating evidence, actually with any, any evidence that
00:45:23.880
doesn't get counter corroborated, that doesn't get refuted immediately by the people you name,
00:45:28.040
then maybe we can talk about it. But if you're going to bring us this flimsy nonsense,
00:45:31.940
get out of here. What are you talking about? Get it. You don't get to do that.
00:45:34.740
Maybe you get to do that in the old days. Not anymore. That's a beautiful thing.
00:45:39.440
I will quickly mention, because all nature is but art unknown to thee, on this day in history in 1995,
00:45:45.460
O.J. Simpson was acquitted. He was acquitted of double murder. This was after a 252-day trial.
00:45:52.980
It was kind of like the Kavanaugh hearings. It was all anybody in the country could talk about for a
00:45:57.040
long time. And he was acquitted of murder of Nicole Brown Simpson, his wife, and Ronald Goldman,
00:46:03.420
her friend. So that justice was served, right? O.J. got off. Justice was served. Not quite.
00:46:09.880
There was a civil trial, and O.J. was found liable in that civil trial. He had to pay out
00:46:14.300
$33 million. Why do I bring this up? It's because justice isn't always clear.
00:46:20.900
Justice, you know, it was the criminal trial. Was that justice? I don't know. Was the civil trial?
00:46:26.020
Was that justice? I don't know about that. Tom Robinson in To Kill a Mockingbird
00:46:30.180
was accused of raping Mayella Yule. Remember, do we believe all women in that case? Because it
00:46:36.500
turns out he didn't rape, or he was a scapegoat because he was black. Should we believe all women
00:46:41.080
in that case? Believe Mayella. Believe Ms. Yule. Okay, I don't think so. Social justice is not
00:46:47.580
justice. Virtue signaling is not virtue. And you've got to be very precise about what's going on. Because
00:46:52.100
I think on the left, I heard this the other night at this event in Hollywood, they're calling this guy
00:46:56.180
a rapist. No serious person other than that loony tune from Avenatti. Nobody is even coming close to
00:47:03.140
accusing him of rape. But they are. They're saying it's so clear. It's so clear. All shallows are
00:47:07.540
clear. All shallows are clear. And we should be very, very specific about where the justice is,
00:47:12.920
who the victim is in this case. Just take a quick look. This was on a campus recently. What happened
00:47:17.380
to a group of students who were campaigning and demonstrating in support of Brett Kavanaugh,
00:47:22.620
law in support of due process and against kangaroo courts?
00:47:41.980
Excuse me, Ma'am. Are you trying to President talks?
00:47:44.040
Mom. Look at that time for directions of this court.
00:47:49.440
His deaf screens in case that he has to be considered responsible
00:47:50.460
not to be a medical and Air Force use that crime.
00:47:54.680
my things. Excuse me, ma'am. Are you trying to assault me? This is an assault. Yes, Sarah.
00:48:04.480
You to every girl that she assaulted on this campus.
00:48:07.600
Excuse me, miss. I'm for the team to send you new stuff in your home.
00:48:14.820
There's a kid at the very end there who's just, he flicks the camera around and he's
00:48:18.300
like smiling because it's so ridiculous. And so great on you, kid. Great for getting
00:48:21.980
that on video. This woman is filled with righteous indignation and virtue signaling. She's saying
00:48:28.920
you're disrespecting survivors by suggesting that the accused have the right to be presumed
00:48:35.440
innocent until proven guilty, that they have the right to due process. This is how demagogues
00:48:39.360
work. They take, you know, heresy is not the promotion of vice over virtue. It's the promotion
00:48:43.840
of one virtue to the exclusion of the others. And that isn't virtue. When you come out and
00:48:47.760
you say, I want to support victims of sexual assault. Yeah. Of course. And who doesn't? We all
00:48:53.240
do. But when you use that as an excuse to trample the rights of the accused, to trample
00:48:59.620
good men, to destroy their lives. And when you do it, not because you believe women, not because
00:49:04.420
Alyssa Milano believes Juanita Broderick, but because you just want to push your own petty
00:49:08.920
political agenda. That is not virtue. That's the opposite of virtue. But all shallows are clear.
00:49:13.040
And I hope that we can pay attention to how justice will be meted out in this case. All
00:49:17.560
right. We ran late. We always do. I will see you tomorrow. Make sure you get your mailbag
00:49:21.660
questions in on Thursday. Get ready for another kingdom on Friday. In the meantime, I'm Michael
