In the wake of Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation hearing, the media and the political establishment have been quick to point the finger at the former Supreme Court nominee for the post-Hearings press conference. But is it really as simple as that?
00:01:33.000We had to bump because I have so much to get to.
00:01:35.000Everything you need to know about the hearings, we wanted to dissect it and give you the need to know, along with what you'll probably be told from the media.
00:01:43.000And after this, I'm going to grab a very large vessel of beer.
00:03:15.000I think, can we all agree, everyone in this room, can we all agree, okay, that if Kavanaugh raped as many people who claim have raped him, life in prison?
00:04:28.000I bring a message from your master, Dianne Feinstein, Commander of Feminists.
00:04:36.000By command of her most screeching excellency, your book deals are all but guaranteed, your claims will not be questioned, nor subject to criminal review, and the wonderful celebrity of being a hashtag MeToo victim is all but yours on the single condition that you identify the rapist or serial flasher as the man called Brett Kavanaugh!
00:10:37.000I think this also could have just been like a dude tries to go gay with a guy that wasn't into it and then covers by starting a fight club.
00:11:32.000Here's something that's really important, I think, and I want to get to everyone's opinion here, and I want to hear your opinions on the hearings if you watch them.
00:11:57.000Well, when this old white lady, when this old white man, when Lindsey Graham made his comments, it's not going to, the American public won't look upon it favorably.
00:12:30.000Not saying this woman is necessarily lying, but I am saying that the media almost invariably lies as it relates to Republicans.
00:12:37.000Any other comments before we get to the timeline?
00:12:38.000Because I've got some timelines and some clips for you that you probably won't see.
00:12:41.000All right, so just to lead off real quick, I think we built this up too much.
00:12:43.000I think we built up the fact that she wasn't testifying, and now that she's testifying, all they're saying, like you said, is the optics game.
00:12:49.000They're just saying, oh, now that she's testifying, you have to believe her.
00:12:59.000And as someone, and this is no knock at an ex-girlfriend, but as someone who used to live with Golden Globe nominee Christina Ricci, women can lie on cue.
00:13:20.000It's like, women are unbelievably good at crying when, like, if you get pulled over by a cop, like, I've tried to cry to get out of a ticket, and then the cop was like, bro, you're not even crying convincingly.
00:13:30.000Did they try to start a fight club with you?
00:18:45.000For having a woman prosecutor just saying it, kind of... You prefer the woman who looks like a librarian who would tell little boys... I know.
00:18:51.000I said make noise or the parents will hear you.
00:19:24.000It's typically one-on-one, you just speak, they listen, and then somebody else fills in the gaps.
00:19:30.000That's important to know because if your goal is to get to the truth, if you're coming forward with it, and this is why I think everything changed.
00:19:35.000If you're talking about the truth, this is the moment of clarity for truth.
00:21:52.000I think the issue is, does she believe it or not?
00:21:54.000Because I think the odds are 0% that it happened the way she describes it.
00:21:58.000But I want to know, is it like a collective bunch of just nonsense in her brain with circus music that she believes, or is it just completely fabricated by the DNC?
00:22:26.000But, anyone out there, listen, people who are coming in, because you know, we're going to address the Young Turks in a second, so people who are coming in from that video, the Young Turks, let me ask you this, to the feminists, to the female feminists I should say, not the male feminists, the female feminists, it sounds redundant, but now there are male feminists and they delineate in the LGBTQAI, I can't keep track of it anymore.
00:22:41.000The point is, Do you not have any sons?
00:22:47.000What if someone came out and completely falsely smeared them with the worst possible crime one can commit, arguably short of murder, And there was no evidence whatsoever, and he lost his job.
00:23:03.000When we talk about putting yourself in someone else's shoes, is it that hard to do?
00:23:07.000And this is why I said I do think Ford was a sympathetic person.
00:23:09.000I think she performed, and I don't mean as performance, I mean I think she did pretty well in answering questions until Ford took the stand.
00:25:11.000And the position isn't just being accused and having your name run through the mud and being stained with this for the rest of your life.
00:25:16.000The position is now, I have to beat her now.
00:25:20.000Like, I have to win this, and I shouldn't have to, like, he doesn't wish any ill will on her, his family doesn't now, but I'm in a position where I have to fight for my life.
00:26:02.000So timeline on Kavanaugh, he said we wanted to see this is all again.
00:26:06.000I really highly recommend you go watch this I know it's long go watch it watch it on two times the speed if you have to He said he wanted a hearing as soon as possible to clear his name demanded a hearing the next day It took ten days and as he predicted his family and his name have been permanently Destroyed which is again.
00:26:20.000He talked about his ten-year-old daughter talking about praying for the woman So it does seem like a does seem like a wise girl he runs through Something I think a lot of people miss here, and he pointed out, and if you watch it, I think you might have your aha moment.
00:26:33.000He runs through, I have timelines here but it might not make sense for you because they'll re-upload it from C-SPAN, so I'm just going to ignore the time codes, but he runs through how often he's been vetted by the FBI in the confirmation hearings after he was appointed to the federal bench by Bush.
00:26:47.000Do you have any idea the kind of vetting that goes into this?
00:27:09.000Well, and she had her chance at every single one of those other confirmation hearings that he had to go through, every one of those positions that he was appointed to.
00:27:15.000If he's really that evil of a person, why was it the Supreme Court?
00:27:18.000He can do a lot of stuff at a federal court, right, in another position that he can't.
00:27:23.000I mean, if a guy raped me at a house party, and I found out that he was going to manage the Kroger down the street, you'd be like, I didn't know he was going to rape so many people!
00:27:49.000Another thing he says, he says that he started keeping a... I thought this was really important because again, if this were a trial, it could be proven, but nobody cares because they move on to the next thing.
00:27:56.000He said that he started keeping calendars and diaries in 1980 since his dad made a practice of it, and he points to his calendars that he wasn't at the supposed party in the summer of 1982.
00:28:06.000Now, in a court of law, they would say, hold on a second, does this hold up?
00:28:10.000They would be able to look, they would be able to cross-reference and see if he did have a track record of writing diaries and journals, and if they added up, that's kind of how they figured out the Bible.
00:28:18.000They said, hold on a second, was it written when they claimed that it was written, particularly like the New Testament?
00:28:21.000Was there, you know, the standard of apostolicity?
00:28:23.000There's a process for this, and this does happen in a court of law.
00:28:25.000Diaries and journals, if proven to be valid, can be brought in as evidence.
00:29:31.000Patrice O'Neil used to have a joke about how he would buy something every 20 minutes in case someone accused him of rape.
00:29:37.000I was buying gum. Yeah, why does it sound like norm?
00:29:42.000In my head everyone's normal. Oh my gosh. Was he also big one?
00:29:47.000I've been the same guy. Oh, all right. I think we're good by the way. It's still the same thing
00:29:52.000Kavanaugh says he wasn't there at all.
00:29:55.000The only evidence would be I would love to see that diary or that journal.
00:29:58.000Okay, here's something else that I do.
00:30:00.000A couple of points that I think are important as we move on here because I had actually written out some of this yesterday before these hearings took place and we just said let's just make this a long first segment because a lot of people are going to want to know what's what's going on and they're not going to want to watch
00:33:28.000And here's the thing too, I know people will say, well Steven, hold on, you talked about how you don't, it's true, I don't drink to excess, I don't go to, I never went to parties in high school, and I typically don't like to get drunk or drink too much around strangers and put myself in a situation that could be compromising.
00:33:40.000That's absolutely true, but you can bet your ass that as soon as we're done taping this show, Owen, Cheryl, Mike, and I are gonna tie, we're gonna have a party!
00:34:25.000Remember this, teenagers, where we used to be, yeah, rock against Bush, and no effects, and Green Day, and now you got, I don't know, every single celebrity lining up.
00:34:31.000They had Time's 100 most influential people in the entertainment industry.
00:34:35.000I think something like 70 of them went out of their way to make jabs at Donald Trump.
00:34:40.000So when they talk about, yeah, rage against the machine, the left, the DNC, the party of Bernie Sanders, and Santa Maria Nina Pinta Cortez, they want to disqualify you For a job in government, if you ever had a beer in college!
00:34:54.000And then you got Obama being like, and Obama's like, yep, I had some bloop.
00:35:29.000I'm like, you can read things that are offensive, you can see things from pitch meetings that are probably far too racist, far too homophobic, far too transphobic, far too vulgar for the show that never make air, and I'm sure there's some dick pics flooding around.
00:35:58.000They're claiming that he wasn't really a virgin.
00:36:00.000Because one of Kavanaugh's friends came forward claiming that he had a conversation in their freshman year of college where Kavanaugh said that he was a virgin.
00:36:08.000A guy saying, a freshman year of college, we had a conversation.
00:37:24.000Does his virgin status in college or high school, does that somehow disqualify him from being in the Supreme Court?
00:37:29.000If he lied about his sexual conquests, or if he lied about being a virgin, I mean, if these are the rules, then no one who ever told a tall tale to impress a buddy could be able to get a job.
00:37:39.000By the way, this is something, again, this is something that conservatives have long advocated for, so now it's funny to me that the left, again, they're the puritanical pearl, they're going, But he said he was a virgin!
00:38:19.000This got really personal for a concept about abstinence.
00:38:22.000What's funny is, well, it's not funny, but man, it's kind of, she's pining for the days back when she looked like Amanda Bynes' slightly more retarded cousin.
00:38:29.000That was like, that for her was a step up.
00:38:30.000She's like, I wish I could get back to that.
00:38:49.000Some people really didn't like my opinion, but it changed.
00:38:51.000We're like, oh, wow, she really did prove to be exactly what he was kind of discussing in the article, was the idea that the last taboo was some sort of idea of moral, non-moral ambiguity.
00:39:03.000What's the word I'm looking for for non-ambiguity?
00:39:44.000You had... You were sexually attracted to a young woman?
00:39:46.000And you both engaged in mutual... You must be... It must be like that scene in The Warriors where the baseball fury is rammed into someone's posterior!
00:39:55.000By the way, it's in the director's cut.
00:39:56.000I know people are going to start searching for it.
00:40:07.000Gone are the days of liberals like Lenny Bruce, because we all know that the left wants comedy to die, a slow and painful death, whether by putting you in front of a human rights tribunal and fining you, what was it, $50,000?
00:42:14.000By the way, that should be the default if you're just going to yell out rape with no evidence.
00:42:19.000She continues to proceed with evidence that is not evidence.
00:42:22.000What's so funny, too, is the evidence, evidence in quotations that she mentions, it actually served as the setup for everything she just mentioned was the setup to the joke that I delivered on Wednesday.
00:42:38.000And an attorney originally said that Ford would like to testify.
00:42:41.000An attorney Ford put on retainer in August, at which point she took a lie detector test for an accusation she claimed she was never going to make publicly at all.
00:42:48.000And investigators, by the way, should say that it should be noted there is still the possibility of Ford being, allegedly, a dirty lying whore.
00:42:56.000It's almost like she didn't watch the original joke at all!
00:43:41.000First, the Wednesday show is behind the Mug Club, so join Mug Club.
00:43:45.000You can go watch the original Wednesday joke or watch last week's show on Thursday.
00:43:48.000Then I want you to compare last week's show on YouTube, the closing segments about my wife and finding a good woman and what women need to look for in a good man and how men should treat women.
00:44:00.000Compare that with Cenk's own notorious quotes about whores-in-training.
00:44:04.000Which, by the way, was not even a joke.
00:44:05.000I think we have it here from Huffington Post, in case you forgot about that.
00:44:08.000Whores-in-training, I think is the actual term, correct?
00:44:12.000Funny thing is, actually, Cenk says that this program, a comedy show, he goes on to say that we're averse to factual information.
00:45:34.000By the way, young Turks could mean the people who carry out the Armenian genocide, I think, which I know you deny because that's a fact.
00:45:38.000Or it could mean, I think, like sort of it also is used as a colloquialism for young anti-authoritarian, you know, rebel, young rebels, because nothing's more rebellious than Bernie Sanders.
00:47:16.000I know they still are, but I mean, it's just, it's so desperate to like pick on the most fact-based show out there.
00:47:22.000You know, and we're going long today because this is such a big event and we're going to have a shorter interview with Nicole Arbour after this and a short wrap up, but I don't want to get into the whole Young Turks, he said, she said here, because there's no need to get personal.
00:48:48.000Let's check back in, by the way, with future Justice Kavanaugh.
00:48:54.000And when you bring forward your accusations of gang rape that are unsubstantiated, Michael Emanetti, know this, that I will be appointed TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES!
00:49:10.000AND THEN, YOU WILL FEEL THE POWER CURSING THROUGH THE VEINS!
00:50:11.000All the leftists, social justice warriors, and professional protesters in Michigan are trying to stop this show from happening.
00:50:17.000They tried to run us out in a rail last time at SMU, and now we're offering you a chance to rub it right in their face and fill up this whole damn theater with laughter, which is the nicest gift you'll ever get from the nicest live show you'll ever see.
00:50:32.000Oh, and they won't know what to do with themselves.
00:50:36.000What do you do with a protester when he won't stop being a little bitch?
00:50:42.000It seems this campus really would enjoy laughing at one and two and three and four small protesters unemployed.
00:51:01.000Remember then, your objective is University of Michigan, 7 o'clock, October 25th, at the Power Center.
00:51:35.000But this, a big reason for it was because they had to protect their body a lot more in bare-knuckle fighting, because they would go to the body more, otherwise they would break their hands because they didn't have gloves back then.
00:51:51.000Okay, our next guest, really glad to have her on, and I'm sorry that I, by the way, again, to Paul Joseph Watson, to Josh Wolf, just with the hearings going on today, it's been an absolutely insane day, but our next guest, I know, has a lot to say about it.
00:52:02.000You can follow her on the Twitter at Nicole R. Burr, and her new book is How to Lose the Excuses, and effing win already, because we're FCC compliant.
00:52:11.000Hey, I'm amazing, but I'm actually legitimately so pissed off right now.
00:52:15.000Okay, first, let me give you the floor as to why are you so pissed off, because we've been told that there are no women in your shoes, that everyone agrees that this woman, that we should believe survivors slash accusers, always.
00:52:27.000First of all, hello Mug Club, and those of you who know me, I am not on any side, I like the truth.
00:52:32.000And I'm currently witnessing the character assassination of someone based on something with no facts, and it's just, it's insane.
00:52:40.000And the voice, when I saw her using her voice, like, Women use this voice when we want two things.
00:52:47.000Either we want something or we're trying to get away with something.
00:52:50.000That's the only time women use that voice.
00:52:52.000That is highly speculative, but I will defer to the expert witness on that one lady here right now.
00:52:58.000As a woman, I'm telling you it's true.
00:53:29.000This isn't a setup, these are elected officials when you're talking about that, right?
00:53:32.000It wasn't a great decision to have the prosecutor who they had, but I do think it was very, very key when she asked, for me, we just talked about this, the key moment, I don't know if you've been following this today, was where she said, are you aware that the best way to basically get to the bottom of these kinds of allegations is a forensic interview?
00:53:50.000And she explained to her what it was and Ford said, that makes sense.
00:53:53.000And she said, did any of your representation advise you to take part in a forensic interview?
00:55:20.000I believe something happened to her that triggered all of these emotions.
00:55:23.000I don't believe it was this, and I don't believe it was him.
00:55:26.000I think that she had some kind of trauma go on, and then you defer the trauma over to something that kind of gives you the biggest story, because that's where you get your payout.
00:55:34.000And people can disagree with me, and they will, and that's fine, but I don't think this happened.
00:55:38.000My gut is telling me that he didn't do this.
00:56:19.000Okay, so I'm going to preface this with, I have been through sexual assault many a time, and I don't believe that there's a woman out there, usually, who hasn't had some form of that.
00:57:54.000And anything after that, I don't want to hear it.
00:57:56.000I don't think this should be drawn out forever and wait until someone's running for a high office that these stories suddenly come out in this Awkward but interesting timing.
00:58:05.000But also, by the way, this guy was a judge.
00:58:23.000Like, at what point is enough power enough?
00:58:25.000If I'm at a party and I think someone's running a train on a woman gang raping her, I'm going to do something because that's the kind of woman I am.
00:58:32.000I mean, I'm either going to leave and call the police or I'm going to get a gun or get someone with a gun.
00:58:36.000I'm not going to continue to go to these parties where they're spiking the punch with drugs and be like, whoops, it was my turn.
00:58:43.000Like this just, these, I'm sorry that I'm getting, this is how I get angry.
00:59:15.000And I'm pretty sure that one of them is very... I'm pretty sure that Ernie is the one who's... Actually, sorry, Bert is blinking Morse code like, Help me!
00:59:23.000I think that he's being raped continually in that dungeon.
00:59:26.000I don't think that it is... Because of rape culture.
01:00:16.000You don't have to continue to be a victim for the rest of your life.
01:00:19.000You know, there's these stories of these harrowing women from, say, Africa who were mutilated and had horrible things happen, and then they go on to have these amazing frickin' lives and help, you know, teach other women they can too.
01:01:33.000Listen, I appreciate you taking the time.
01:01:36.000And I do think it's important to separate because people, again, just like the Young Turks did with my joke about Christine Ford earlier this week, which I apologize for, zero.
01:01:45.000You know, I was thinking, well, okay, we'll go back to that in the closing segment.
01:01:48.000But I do want to separate between, what was that?
01:01:51.000I said lots of words, don't know what you mean, I'll look into it.
01:01:53.000Yeah, yeah, you'll see the previous segment, which just, when this show is archived, because we just talked about it.
01:01:59.000It was a whole long thing, I don't want to get back into it because... Okay, okay, I'm sorry, I brought it up.
01:02:04.000But I do want to make sure that people don't give you flak, you're differentiating between, yes, doing the right thing, going through the proper legal channels, of course, in a sexual crime, and then also moving on, being as productive as you can with your life.
01:02:17.000You can be a victim of rape, do the right things, and then also not allow it to define you.
01:02:22.000I'm not trying to speak for women here, but I just want to make sure that people don't give you flack for something you didn't say, because that often happens on this show, because it's this show.
01:02:34.000I'm very affected because as much as I am against Anything horrible happening to women all of the time.
01:02:40.000I'm also very against the witch-hunting that I see happening, and I'm always about truth.
01:02:45.000So, ladies, if something has happened to you, please report it, go through the proper channels, and then let's find an awesome way to move on together.
01:02:51.000I think, listen, I think most people agree with you on all of the above.
01:02:53.000It's just been, we've been so polarized, and we're talking about the optics.
01:05:47.000So, uh, you know, I've been fitted for a bulletproof vest.
01:05:50.000And one of those Mission Impossible masks for acid attacks.
01:05:54.000We did a Life Advice segment yesterday, so send your emails to lifeadvice at ladderwithcrowder.com.
01:05:58.000This segment is actually Tough Love with your guru, Dr. Crowder.
01:06:01.000I can't claim I'm a doctor, but really, I'm a doctor.
01:06:05.000We did that whole show yesterday, for those who are Mug Club members, so often I'm inspired with this last segment by a particular email, but we went through, what, five, six, seven?
01:06:25.000I'm just gonna let you know, I'm a little bit emotionally drained.
01:06:27.000It's been, I have just been pissed off all day.
01:06:30.000I'm not gonna lie, I've been pissed off all day.
01:06:32.000I've had this hearing on, and I've of course had to take notes, write down time codes, what's being said.
01:06:37.000I've had to try and, this whole time to waste a ton of time trying to fact check Evidence that wasn't really evidence, only to realize that it didn't matter anyway and wasted a whole lot of my time.
01:06:47.000It was just like a, just a, just a pissed off fire hose.
01:07:10.000If you go through this process, if you go through life seeking truth, if you make that your number one goal, and I know some people right now are like, Christian blah blah blah, Egyptian myth, just let's drop the factions for a second.
01:07:25.000Okay, we're talking about truth overall.
01:08:43.000But have you ever actually thought about, why is it innocent until proven guilty?
01:08:46.000Why did we, when setting up a system on how to judge people, on how to parse information, did we say, alright, we're going to have to assume someone's innocence until they're proven guilty?
01:08:58.000It's because we know that if people can use lies, to further their own personal position, to advance their own personal gain for power that they will.
01:09:11.000You see it in the entertainment industry.
01:09:13.000If people can lie, and if they can do so undercover, if they can be protected by lying, and do it for personal gain, that's why someone's innocent until proven guilty.
01:09:45.000The progressive left, and I don't mean everyone, but people like the Young Turks, people like the Feinsteins, not only do they not care about the justice system anymore, not only do they not care about rule of law, not only do they not care about truth, they're just going to do damage anyway.
01:09:58.000Even if it's not true, even if it's not proven true, this is the difference now in the era of social media.
01:10:03.000This is why truth is more important than ever.
01:10:06.000Because now, you don't just lose your job, you lose your whole reputation.
01:10:26.000You just... I can cause spontaneous combustion.
01:10:29.000They don't need Kavanaugh to be... They're not even pushing for a trial!
01:10:32.000We can't even compare it to the Salem Witch Trials because someone was burned at the stake at the end of something that they saw was some sort of justice.
01:10:39.000In this case, these are just people who, we don't know the exact motives, but we do know that they don't care about damaging someone's reputation.
01:10:47.000And that's the thing about the untruthful.
01:10:49.000That's why it's so important to keep bringing yourself back to the beam for truth.
01:10:52.000I've talked about the most toxic lies are not only the lies that you tell other people, but the lies that you tell yourself.
01:10:56.000Because then you get to a point where you can't even identify the truth.
01:11:00.000If you don't start, if you don't continue and start every morning coming back to that, that, that beam of truth, even if it's, if it's a one inch tight rope, And you're on water skis.
01:11:10.000If you don't make an effort to, you get to the point where you don't, not only do you not care about the truth, you don't care that you've created a nuclear holocaust in someone's life.
01:11:20.000It doesn't matter to you, so long as you get yours.
