00:00:00.000 We take a look at all of the breaking news on the Kavanaugh allegations, and there is a lot of it.
00:00:04.000 The media humiliate themselves, as per our usual routine every single day here.
00:00:09.000 And we take a look at the funniest story of the year.
00:00:11.000 It is astonishingly good.
00:00:12.000 I'm Ben Shapiro.
00:00:13.000 This is The Ben Shapiro Show.
00:00:19.000 I stepped away for the final Jewish holidays, guys.
00:00:21.000 That was the last ones of the year.
00:00:22.000 Okay, so now we're safe.
00:00:24.000 We're good now.
00:00:24.000 Okay, the last couple days, first of all, I will say this was the best part of the Jewish holidays, the Simchat Torah.
00:00:30.000 I know you want to get to the news, but I'm just going to ramble on for a while about Judaism.
00:00:33.000 But in any case, it was partying with the Torah. 0.69
00:00:35.000 It was really great.
00:00:36.000 My kids really enjoyed it.
00:00:37.000 And now I am refreshed and I come back and the news cycle is just rich and replete
00:00:42.000 With joy!
00:00:43.000 And I'll bring you all of that.
00:00:44.000 First, I want to mention, we really appreciate you tuning in and sharing the podcast with all of your friends.

00:00:58.000 Those ratings on iTunes help actually elevate the ratings on iTunes overall.
00:01:01.000 So make sure that you leave a five-star view for us.
00:01:03.000 If you don't like the show and you want to leave us a one-star rating, well, then don't bother doing it.
00:01:06.000 You know, you got better things to do today.
00:01:07.000 Just leave us five stars because, let's face it, that's all we really deserve.
00:01:11.000 And now, but first, let's talk about your tooth health.
00:01:15.000 So, the reality is that you are lying to your dentist on a routine basis, right?
00:01:18.000 You go in there, your dentist says, how often do you brush?
00:01:20.000 You're like, eight times a day.
00:01:21.000 Every time I breathe, I brush my teeth.
00:01:23.000 Like, well, how often do you floss?
00:01:24.000 You're like, I haven't stopped flossing.
00:01:26.000 You see this in my mouth right here?
00:01:27.000 Piece of floss.
00:01:28.000 Well, you're lying to your dentist, and we all know you're lying to your dentist, and that's why you ought to be using Quip instead.
00:01:34.000 Quip is the best electric toothbrush on the market.
00:01:36.000 It's a fraction of the cost of bulkier brushes while still packing just the right amounts of vibration to help clean your teeth.
00:01:41.000 Quip's built-in timer helps you clean for the dentist-recommended two minutes with guiding pulses that remind you when to switch sides.
00:01:47.000 Next, Quip's subscription plans are for your health, not just convenience.
00:01:50.000 They deliver new brush heads on a dentist-recommended schedule every three months for just five bucks, including free shipping worldwide.
00:01:57.000 Finally, everyone loves Quip.
00:01:59.000 They were on Oprah's O'List, they were named one of Time's Best Inventions, and they are the first subscription electric toothbrush accepted by the American Dental Association.
00:02:05.000 That is for a reason.
00:02:07.000 It is awesome stuff.
00:02:08.000 Quip starts at just $25.
00:02:09.000 If you go to getquip.com slash Shapiro right now, you get your first refill pack free with a Quip electric toothbrush.
00:02:15.000 Again, first refill pack free at getquip.com slash Shapiro.
00:02:18.000 That's getquip.com slash Shapiro.
00:02:20.000 So with the news cycle like this, I will say it is very difficult.
00:02:24.000 To take off a couple of days and then jump right back into the news cycle.
00:02:27.000 I jumped back into the news cycle yesterday, last night, to find that we are apparently just a couple of days away from the actual vote on Brett Kavanaugh.
00:02:35.000 That's what Mitch McConnell said this morning.
00:02:37.000 The Senate Majority Leader says we will be voting on Kavanaugh in the full Senate by the end of the week.
00:02:41.000 The FBI report is expected to wrap today or tomorrow at the very latest.
00:02:46.000 And the FBI is basically saying, we've got nothing, right?
00:02:49.000 We've come up with nothing.
00:02:49.000 Shocker.
00:02:50.000 They've come up with nothing new.
00:02:51.000 Now, that doesn't mean the Democrats are going to accept the FBI report.
00:02:54.000 Of course not.
00:02:55.000 An allegation about a Republican is tantamount to the allegation being true, according to folks on the left, which we'll get to in just a second.
00:03:03.000 According to the Wall Street Journal, though, people familiar with the process said on Tuesday that the FBI investigation into the allegations of sexual misconduct against Judge Kavanaugh could wrap up very soon, well ahead of the end-of-week deadline, which we hope for and pray for so that we don't have to spend this weekend covering breaking news again.
00:03:20.000 GOP aides on the Hill
00:03:21.000 Another person familiar with the process said they were expecting the Bureau to conclude its report as late as late Tuesday or early Wednesday.
00:03:28.000 Agents had interviewed at least four people as of Tuesday in the background investigation of Judge Kavanaugh.
00:03:32.000 The White House had given the Bureau until Friday to wrap up the probe.
00:03:35.000 Senators will be shown the FBI's findings.
00:03:37.000 It's not clear what exactly will be made public at any point.
00:03:40.000 Suffice it to say, it's not expected that anything groundbreaking will happen here.
00:03:44.000 And there's a reason that Mitch McConnell is going off on the Democrats over all of this.
00:03:47.000 The Senate Majority Leader, he comes forward, he says, listen, all of this was a stall tactic.
00:03:51.000 All of this was a delay tactic.
00:03:53.000 Democrats who had no intention of voting for Brett Kavanaugh in the first place are suddenly acting all outraged that the FBI investigation is wrapping too soon.
00:04:00.000 When they knew it would wrap that soon, because the FBI investigation
00:04:04.000 Actually has less investigative power than the Senate Judiciary Committee.
00:04:07.000 They can't subpoena documents.
00:04:10.000 They can't subpoena witnesses.
00:04:11.000 It's not a criminal investigation.
00:04:13.000 So that means they can go and ask people to talk to them and they talk to the people they can talk to.
00:04:16.000 But Democrats are whining anyway. 0.99
00:04:18.000 Here's Mitch McConnell saying, listen, we're not going to hold this sucker up any longer. 0.99
00:04:21.000 We're done here. 0.95
00:04:22.000 These statements remind us Democrats may be trying to move the goalposts every five minutes, but their goal has not moved an inch.
00:04:34.000 They will not be satisfied.
00:04:36.000 Unless they have brought down Judge Kavanaugh's nomination.
00:04:41.000 And you can tell, Mitch McConnell, I mean, that is cocaine Mitch amped up right there.
00:04:44.000 I mean, cocaine, really, I mean, that's seriously what Mitch McConnell looks like when he is angry and amped up.
00:04:51.000 Not a joke.
00:04:52.000 And there's a reason Republicans are unified on this one, and it's because this feels like a witch hunt.
00:04:57.000 This feels as though the Democrats are fully intent on destroying a good man simply for the sake of delaying a Supreme Court nomination.
00:05:06.000 And the Democrats, I will say, there are certain times in American politics that are very difficult to watch.
00:05:11.000 This is one of those times because things are so ugly and so acrimonious and so nasty right now that you find yourself fulminating about it even when you don't want to think about politics.
00:05:21.000 The idea that somebody can be railroaded on one allegation with no corroborative evidence, and as we will see, a lot of evidence that cuts the other way, and that this is supposed to finish people's lives?
00:05:31.000 If you're a good person, you should be thinking twice about whether this is the society that you actually want to live in.
00:05:36.000 Do you want the possibility that someone can come forward with an allegation against you at any time and destroy you?
00:05:43.000 Good people will not go into American public life.
00:05:45.000 They won't.
00:05:46.000 Really, they won't.
00:05:47.000 A lot of folks ask me if I ever want to run for office.
00:05:50.000 I will tell you this.
00:05:50.000 Ten years ago, I was much more interested in running for office than I am now.
00:05:53.000 And one of the reasons is because the way people are treated when they run for office, or are on the judiciary, or are in good stead making policy, that is not something you want to put your family through.
00:06:05.000 Even if you're as clean as the driven snow, it's not something you want to put your family through.
00:06:09.000 It's also, by the same token, while it's difficult to watch all of this, it's also clarifying.
00:06:14.000 And the idea that the veil is being stripped back and you're seeing people for who they are.
00:06:17.000 One of the people who we saw who he was over the last several days, and I had to comment on this because I missed the opportunity to on Monday, was James Comey.
00:06:25.000 So James Comey, who is touted as the most honest man in American politics, he lived for a higher loyalty, right?
00:06:32.000 He's a higher loyalty, James Comey, the FBI director that President Trump fired.
00:06:36.000 And President Trump called him a grandstander at the time.
00:06:39.000 And I said President Trump was right to call him a grandstander and should have fired him immediately upon taking office.
00:06:43.000 Well, James Comey in the New York Times had a piece earlier this week, and I want to read you some of the piece because it sets the baseline for where Democrats and where folks on the left were going with Kavanaugh.
00:06:53.000 And now it turns out that none of this is going to come true.
00:06:56.000 So James Comey had a piece earlier this week, and it was called The FBI Can Do This.
00:07:00.000 And so the FBI is back in the middle of it. 0.70
00:07:02.000 When we were handed the Hillary Clinton email investigation in 2015, the bureau's deputy director said to me, you know you are totally screwed, right?
00:07:09.000 He meant that, in a viciously polarized political environment, one side was sure to be furious with the outcome.
00:07:14.000 Sure enough, I saw a tweet declaring me a political hack, although the author added tongue-in-cheek, I just can't figure out which side.
00:07:21.000 And those were the good old days.
00:07:22.000 President Trump's decision to order a one-week investigation into sexual assault allegations against Brett Kavanaugh, his Supreme Court nominee, comes in a time of almost indescribable pain and anger, lies, and attacks.
00:07:33.000 And he goes on, talks about how terrible the president of the United States is, and then finally he gets to Brett Kavanaugh.
00:07:40.000 And he suggests that the time-bound nature of the FBI investigation is really bad.
00:07:46.000 Because, of course, Democrats, folks on the left, they don't want Kavanaugh nominated.
00:07:49.000 The whole goal of this investigation, the whole goal of Democratic tactics here is to stall beyond the election.
00:07:55.000 That's all they want.
00:07:56.000 Now, it turns out this is backfiring radically.
00:07:58.000 I will get to the polls in just a minute.
00:08:00.000 Republicans have not been as unified and motivated since the 2016 election and probably since 2010.
00:08:06.000 It's been a long time since I've seen Republicans this motivated, this unified, and this ready to go to the polls.
00:08:10.000 It's pretty astonishing.
00:08:12.000 But here's what James Comey says.
00:08:13.000 He says,
00:08:17.000 Sexual assaults that the president says never happen, that some senators have decried as a sham cooked up to derail a Supreme Court nominee, and that other senators believe, beyond all doubt, were committed by the nominee.
00:08:26.000 If truth were the only goal, there would be no clock, and the investigation wouldn't have been sought after the Senate Judiciary Committee already endorsed the nominee.
00:08:33.000 Instead, it seems the Republican goal is to be able to say there was an investigation and it didn't change their view, while the Democrats hope for incriminating evidence to derail the nominee.
00:08:42.000 Well, no, the Republicans didn't ask for an FBI investigation because there had already been six FBI background checks of Brett Kavanaugh.
00:08:47.000 None of them had raised anything.
00:08:49.000 And the Senate Judiciary Committee, as mentioned, has more investigative power than the FBI.
00:08:53.000 They went ahead with this because Jeff Flake felt that maybe this would make some of the senators sitting on the fence a little bit more comfortable.
00:08:59.000 But James Comey continues.
00:09:00.000 He says although the process is deeply flawed and apparently designed to thwart the fact-gathering process, the FBI is up for this.
00:09:06.000 It's not as hard as Republicans hope it will be.
00:09:09.000 FBI agents are experts at interviewing people and quickly dispatching leads to their colleagues around the world to follow with additional interviews.
00:09:15.000 Unless limited in some way by the Trump administration, they can speak to scores of people in a few days if necessary.
00:09:20.000 They will confront people with testimony and other accounts, testing them, pushing them in a professional way.
00:09:25.000 Agents have much better nonsense detectors than partisans because they aren't starting with a conclusion.
00:09:31.000 This is the best part.
00:09:32.000 Yes, the alleged incident occurred 36 years ago, but FBI agents know time has very little to do with memory.
00:09:40.000 This is the former FBI director saying that time has very little to do with memory.
00:09:45.000 That is an insane statement.
00:09:46.000 That is insane.
00:09:47.000 Scientific evidence proves that memory has nearly everything to do with time.
00:09:52.000 That the further something is in the past, the worse you remember it.
00:09:55.000 You may think you remember something clearly.
00:09:56.000 The truth is you probably don't.
00:09:58.000 I love this from James Comey.
00:09:59.000 He says, So James Comey already condemning Kavanaugh as a liar, even though Kavanaugh actually hadn't lied about anything, and there's no proof Kavanaugh lied about anything.
00:10:08.000 We'll get to that in just a second.
00:10:10.000 But I love this comment.
00:10:11.000 He says that
00:10:24.000 FBI agents know that time has little to do with memory and that significance drives memory because everybody remembers what the weather was like on their wedding day.
00:10:31.000 First of all, the reason you remember anything on your wedding day is because there was a photographer there taking pictures of the whole thing.
00:10:36.000 And then you go back and you look at the pictures of your wedding day and that is what you call an aid to memory.
00:10:41.000 Second of all, if his argument is that everyone knows what the weather was like on their wedding day,
00:10:46.000 Then why doesn't Christine Blasey Ford remember where it happened? 0.98
00:10:49.000 When it happened?
00:10:50.000 What the weather was like on that day?
00:10:52.000 Who drove her there? 0.99
00:10:53.000 Who drove her home? 1.00
00:10:55.000 Who else was at the party?
00:10:56.000 She doesn't remember anything!
00:10:58.000 So if significance drives memory, then why exactly doesn't she remember anything about what happened except supposedly that Brett Kavanaugh was there?
00:11:07.000 So all of this is completely self-defeating.
00:11:10.000 It's just, but James Comey, you know, acting as the supposed good guy in the room, the objective observer in the room, is already inciting Brett Kavanaugh without even recognizing that his own words basically undercut the testimony of Christine Blasey Ford.
00:11:24.000 This is where we are.
00:11:25.000 People who are purporting to be objective are just falsifying.
00:11:28.000 People who are purporting to be objective on this, instead of saying we don't have enough information yet, already at the beginning of the week, they were saying that Kavanaugh is guilty.
00:11:35.000 And that was the expectation.
00:11:36.000 That Kavanaugh was going to be guilty.
00:11:38.000 And that no matter what happened, we could be assured that something would arise that would stop Brett Kavanaugh's nomination.
00:11:43.000 Instead, as it turns out, there's some evidence that is now arising suggesting that Christine Blasey Ford has lied and lied repeatedly.
00:11:51.000 Now, these are uncorroborated allegations of lies from Christine Blasey Ford, but no more uncorroborated than Ford's testimony itself.
00:11:58.000 So the same people who are saying that the testimony that's now been given, put forth about Christine Blasey Ford,
00:12:04.000 The same people saying that that's uncorroborated stuff are perfectly fine with her uncorroborated testimony destroying Brett Kavanaugh.
00:12:10.000 So either you want evidence corroborated or you don't want evidence corroborated.
00:12:14.000 You don't get to pick and choose.
00:12:16.000 You don't get to say that Brett Kavanaugh should be taken down on the basis of uncorroborated allegations.
00:12:20.000 But Christine Blasey's floor testimony should be respected.
00:12:23.000 Until it is disproved by corroborated allegations.
00:12:26.000 Either corroborative evidence is necessary or corroborative evidence is not necessary.
00:12:31.000 We'll get to the holes in Christine Blasey Ford's story in just one second.
00:12:35.000 But first, let's talk about how you can save money.
00:12:37.000 So these days, as you may have noticed, it's pretty tough to get people to agree on anything.

00:13:42.000 Okay, so here is the bad news for Christine Blasey Ford.
00:13:45.000 There's a letter that is now out from Christine Blasey Ford's ex-boyfriend.
00:13:50.000 And this letter is not good for Christine Blasey Ford.
00:13:52.000 It is a statement given under penalty of perjury.
00:13:55.000 So if the person's lying, then they could be brought up on charges.
00:13:58.000 And here's what it says.
00:13:59.000 This was turned over to Fox News.
00:14:02.000 I don't know.
00:14:19.000 During our time dating, Dr. Ford never brought up anything regarding her experience as a victim of sexual assault, harassment, or misconduct.
00:14:25.000 Dr. Ford never mentioned Brett Kavanaugh.
00:14:27.000 During some of the time we were dating, Dr. Ford lived with Monica L. McLean, who I understood to be her lifelong best friend.
00:14:33.000 During that time, it was my understanding that McLean was interviewing for jobs with the FBI and U.S.
00:14:37.000 Attorney's Office.
00:14:38.000 I witnessed Dr. Ford help McLean prepare for a potential polygraph exam.
00:14:42.000 Dr. Ford explained in detail what to expect, how polygraphs worked, and helped McLean become familiar and less nervous about the exam.
00:14:48.000 Dr. Ford was able to help because of her background in psychology.
00:14:51.000 Dr. Ford and I lived together while we were dating and stayed together in a long-distance relationship when Dr. Ford moved to Hawaii sometime around 1998, although I'm not sure of the particular year and it might have been a bit earlier or later.
00:15:02.000 While visiting Ford in Hawaii, we traveled around the Hawaiian Islands, including one time on a propeller plane.
00:15:07.000 Dr. Ford never indicated a fear of flying.
00:15:09.000 To the best of my recollection, Dr. Ford never expressed a fear of closed quarters, tight spaces, or places with only one exit.
00:15:15.000 I assisted Dr. Ford with finding a place to live in California.
00:15:18.000 She ended up living in a very small 500 square foot house with one door.
00:15:21.000 Despite trying to maintain a long-distance relationship, I ended the relationship once I discovered Dr. Ford was unfaithful while living in Hawaii.
00:15:28.000 After the breakup, I took her off the credit card we shared, but nearly one year later, I noticed Dr. Ford had been charging the card and charged about $600 worth of merchandise.
00:15:35.000 When confronted, Dr. Ford said she did not use the card, but later admitted to the use after I threatened to involve fraud prevention.
00:15:41.000 I didn't speak to Ford again until about 2002, when Ford contacted me briefly.
00:15:46.000 After that, I hadn't thought much about her until I saw her story in the Washington Post on Sunday, September 16, 2018.
00:15:51.000 I do not want to become involved in this process or current investigation, but wanted to be truthful about what I know.
00:15:57.000 So pretty damning stuff from her ex-boyfriend about Christine Blasey Ford, really undercutting her veracity.
00:16:03.000 In just a second, I'll explain why.
00:16:05.000 So this letter suggests a couple of reasons why Dr. Ford's veracity has been challenged.
00:16:09.000 One, she never mentioned for years anything about this sexual assault and never mentioned Kavanaugh.
00:16:14.000 Now, that doesn't necessarily undercut all of her credibility.
00:16:16.000 According to Ford, she never said anything until 2012.
00:16:19.000 But it does underscore that for a lady who says that she was very disturbed about everything that happened to her with regard to Kavanaugh, not to mention it for six, seven years, and also to be able to travel in prop planes.
00:16:30.000 Like, I'm nervous about traveling in prop planes.
00:16:32.000 Like, propeller planes feel like they're going to go down at any moment.
00:16:35.000 And she was traveling in prop planes in Hawaii.
00:16:38.000 She was staying, apparently, according to this guy, in tiny spaces, with no worries about claustrophobia.
00:16:44.000 She testified in front of the Senate, all of this.
00:16:46.000 Also, she testified in front of the Senate, she'd never coached anybody with regard to a polygraph.
00:16:49.000 Remember, she made a big deal out of taking a polygraph. 1.00
00:16:52.000 And she still won't turn over her notes from her psychiatrist.
00:16:55.000 She turned over her polygraph notes, but her polygraph notes raised some questions of their own, such as, in the polygraph notes, the original polygraph note said, before she took the polygraph,
00:17:04.000 That she was sexually assaulted in the early 80s.
00:17:06.000 She crossed out early. 0.53
00:17:08.000 Nobody knows why.
00:17:09.000 Because supposedly the assault happened in 1982.
00:17:12.000 Then she took the polygraph and then she passed the polygraph.
00:17:14.000 But she testified under oath that she did not coach anyone on a polygraph.
00:17:18.000 Now her ex-boyfriend says that's not true.
00:17:20.000 Here is her testifying about this under oath.
00:17:23.000 I didn't expect it to be as long as it was going to be, so it was a little bit stressful.
00:17:28.000 Have you ever given tips or advice to somebody who was looking to take a polygraph test?
00:17:33.000 Never.
00:17:36.000 Okay, and it turns out that that is a serious question for her.
00:17:40.000 Were you lying about that?
00:17:41.000 So, Senator Chuck Grassley has now sent a letter to the attorneys for this woman, for Christine Blasey Ford, and he asked for material evidence relevant to the allegations.
00:17:50.000 He says he wants some corroborative evidence.
00:17:52.000 He says he wants the notes from the therapy sessions that Dr. Ford discussed, and that she turned over to the Washington Post.
00:17:58.000 Right, he says that he wants copies of all video or audio recordings produced during the course of the polygraph examination of Dr. Ford, which she will not turn over.
00:18:06.000 And then he says, the full details of Dr. Ford's polygraph are particularly important because the Senate Judiciary Committee has received a sworn statement from a longtime boyfriend of Dr. Ford's stating that he personally witnessed Dr. Ford coaching a friend on polygraph examinations.
00:18:19.000 When asked under oath in the hearing whether she'd ever given any tips or advice to someone who's planning on taking a polygraph, Dr. Ford replied, never.
00:18:27.000 This statement raises specific concerns about the reliability of her polygraph examination results.
00:18:31.000 The Senate therefore needs this information.
00:18:34.000 Right, so she's got a credibility problem there as well.
00:18:37.000 Then, she also has another credibility problem.
00:18:39.000 It turns out that she said in her Senate testimony over and over again that she was in therapy in 2012 because she had a fight with her husband about building a second front door.
00:18:47.000 And the reason that she wanted a second front door is because she had security concerns because she was still deeply disturbed about her alleged sexual assault at the hands of Brett Kavanaugh.
00:18:57.000 Well, now it turns out that that's a really dicey story.
00:19:00.000 Real Clear Investigations, Paul Sperry over at Real Clear Investigations has a piece.
00:19:04.000 In which she says real estate and other records undercut a key part of Christine Blasey Ford's account of why she finally came forward with charges of attempted rape against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh after some 30 years.
00:19:14.000 Ford testified last week that she had never revealed the details of the alleged attack until 2012 when she was in couples therapy with her husband.
00:19:21.000 She said the memories percolated up as they revisited a disagreement they'd had over her insistence on installing a second front door when they remodeled their Palo Alto, California home.
00:19:30.000 The need to explain a decision her husband didn't understand pushed her to say she wanted the door to alleviate symptoms of claustrophobia and panic attacks based on the alleged assault.
00:19:40.000 She was specifically asked about this by Dianne Feinstein.
00:19:43.000 Feinstein asked, is that the reason for the second front door is claustrophobia?
00:19:46.000 And Ford said, correct.
00:19:48.000 But documents reveal the door was installed years before as part of an addition and has been used by renters and even a marriage counseling business.
00:19:54.000 The door was not an escape route, but an entrance route, said an attorney familiar with the ongoing congressional investigation.
00:19:59.000 It appears the real plan for the second front door was to rent out a separate room.
00:20:03.000 Palo Alto City records show a building permit for the additional room and exterior door was issued to Ford and her husband on February 4, 2008, more than four years before the May 2012 therapy session where she first identified Kavanaugh as her attacker.
00:20:18.000 All the remodeling was completed by February 2010.
00:20:20.000 The only additional permits issued to Ford at her Palo Alto address are for solar panels on the roof, a solar hot water system in the garage, and an electric vehicle charge station for the driveway.
00:20:30.000 Dr. Randall, who is the marriage therapist, expressed concerns about her real estate transaction and prior relationship with Ford being reported.
00:20:37.000 She said, I don't want it mentioned.
00:20:38.000 It's personal.
00:20:39.000 Since the second front door was installed, students from local colleges have lived in the additional room with the private door.
00:20:44.000 So, in other words, there are a lot of holes in her story.
00:20:47.000 We don't know where.
00:20:48.000 We don't know when.
00:20:50.000 We don't know that she's actually claustrophobic.
00:20:52.000 We don't know, we certainly know that she's okay with flying for the most part.
00:20:55.000 At least she does it a fair bit. 0.82
00:20:56.000 We also know that that second front door story has some holes in it.
00:21:00.000 All of which suggest that maybe there are some serious questions that need to be asked about Ford's account.
00:21:04.000 And this week it seems more questions have been raised about that account than have actually been raised about Brett Kavanaugh.
00:21:09.000 In just a second, I'm going to get to President Trump's response on all of this, which is, you know, peculiarly Trumpian.

00:22:19.000 Okay, so President Trump has basically had it.
00:22:22.000 After a couple of weeks of him maintaining silence, or at least being discreet in his opinions about this issue, him saying that he found her testimony compelling, and then he found Kavanaugh's testimony compelling, the president last night decided, you know what?
00:22:35.000 Done.
00:22:36.000 Screw this.
00:22:37.000 No more of this.
00:22:38.000 So he did a rally.
00:22:39.000 And at the rally, he decided to launch into Christine Blasey Ford.
00:22:43.000 Now, there are some folks on the right saying that the president was not mocking Christine Blasey Ford.
00:22:47.000 He's pretty clearly mocking Christine Blasey Ford.
00:22:49.000 There's some folks on the left saying he was only mocking Christine Blasey Ford.
00:22:52.000 No, he was also mocking the fact that her
00:22:56.000 How did you get home?
00:22:57.000 I don't remember.
00:22:57.000 How'd you get there?
00:22:58.000 I don't remember.
00:22:58.000 Where is the place?
00:22:59.000 I don't remember.
00:23:00.000 How many years ago was it?
00:23:01.000 I don't know.
00:23:26.000 I don't know.
00:23:29.000 I don't know.
00:23:31.000 What neighborhood was it in?
00:23:32.000 I don't know.
00:23:33.000 Where's the house?
00:23:33.000 I don't know.
00:23:36.000 Upstairs?
00:23:36.000 Downstairs?
00:23:37.000 Where was it?
00:23:37.000 I don't know.
00:23:38.000 But I had one beer.
00:23:39.000 That's the only thing I remember.
00:23:41.000 Okay, so there's the president going off on her. 0.76
00:23:43.000 This, of course, allows the Democrats — the reason it's a bad strategy is it allows the Democrats to misdirect from Kavanaugh to Trump.
00:23:48.000 Now they can act all outraged, even though there are serious questions about Christine Blasey Ford's story.
00:23:53.000 And again, no corroboration.
00:23:55.000 In fact, counter-corroboration.
00:23:57.000 Every witness she has cited has said they don't remember this party.
00:24:00.000 Every single witness she has cited said they do not remember this party.
00:24:04.000 There is no corroborating evidence.
00:24:06.000 None.
00:24:07.000 Okay, but because Trump is mouthing off, this allows the Democrats to jump on this, which is what they do.
00:24:11.000 CNN's Don Lemon says, he can't resist mocking her.
00:24:14.000 It's just so terrible.
00:24:15.000 How could he possibly mock her?
00:24:17.000 Well, I would point out, like, I don't like the mockery either, but I would point out the entire media have been mocking Brett Kavanaugh.
00:24:22.000 SNL did an entire thing about how Brett Kavanaugh got emotional, and they had Matt Damon.
00:24:27.000 You remember Matt Damon?
00:24:28.000 The guy who was ripped apart by the MeToo movement, like, five minutes ago.
00:24:31.000 Now he's there playing the MeToo movement's go-to guy, mocking Brett Kavanaugh.
00:24:34.000 So it's fine to mock Brett Kavanaugh, a guy whose life is being torn apart by what appear to be corroboration-free allegations of rape and false allegations of gang rape. 0.99
00:24:44.000 That guy you can mock the crap out of. 0.98
00:24:46.000 But if you mock Christine Blasey Ford, according to CNN, that's the true test of evil. 0.80
00:24:50.000 Now again, I don't think any of these folks should be mocked, but here is Don Lemon going after President Trump, which is why, you know, the president should think twice before doing this sort of stuff in the future.
00:24:59.000 So we learned tonight that our president cannot resist mocking a woman who he had called a credible witness in front of a cheering crowd.
00:25:08.000 And we're learning more tonight about Brett Kavanaugh as well.
00:25:12.000 A letter.
00:25:12.000 There's a letter.
00:25:13.000 It was obtained by the New York Times.
00:25:14.000 It was written in 1983.
00:25:16.000 We have a copy here.
00:25:18.000 When he was 18 years old.
00:25:20.000 Kavanaugh writing to his high school buddies, he says this, and I'm quoting. 0.93
00:25:25.000 We're loud, obnoxious drunks with prolific pukers among us.
00:25:31.000 Oh my god, he drank in high school! 0.90
00:25:33.000 No!
00:25:35.000 I've never heard of such a thing!
00:25:36.000 Except from every high school student who's ever been in high school!
00:25:41.000 Really, we'll get to the shifting goalposts of the Democrats and the media in just a second, because the goalposts are moving faster than the speed of light.
00:25:48.000 I didn't think it was possible.
00:25:50.000 It shouldn't be.
00:25:51.000 By the laws of physics, it's not possible to move faster than the speed of light, but somehow those goalposts have been shifting faster than the speed of light.
00:25:57.000 We've actually gone back in time, thanks to the goalpost shifting of the Democrats.
00:26:01.000 It's truly incredible.
00:26:01.000 We'll get to all that in just a second.
00:26:03.000 But Maisie Hirono also attacking President Trump. 0.98
00:26:06.000 How dare President Trump do it?
00:26:07.000 Remember, Maisie Hirono is one of the people who said all men should sit down and shut up and say nothing about the Brett Kavanaugh allegations.
00:26:13.000 And so she's a real great source when it comes to, I think, honesty in politics.
00:26:18.000 But here she is just lamenting the state of our politics after having helped undermine it, after having clocked politics in the back of the head with a shovel and left it bleeding through the nose.
00:26:26.000 Here she is talking to Anderson Cooper.
00:26:28.000 We can always count on the president to go down to the lowest common denominator, mock people, call people names, attack them.
00:26:36.000 This is what he does.
00:26:37.000 And the thing that Dr. Ford did remember with 100% recollection was that it was Brett Kavanaugh who attacked her.
00:26:46.000 Okay, so there we have it.
00:26:47.000 And because she said it, therefore it must be true. 0.83
00:26:49.000 See and believe.
00:26:50.000 That's all we've got.
00:26:51.000 It turns out that other allegations with regard to the nominee are also falling apart.
00:26:56.000 There was an NBC story about Brett Kavanaugh.
00:26:59.000 This one had to do with Deborah Ramirez.
00:27:01.000 And it accused Kavanaugh of perjury.
00:27:03.000 And then it turns out that he was not, in fact, guilty of perjury.
00:27:07.000 So, here is what NBC originally reported.
00:27:10.000 They said, Remember, Deborah Ramirez is the lady who alleged
00:27:22.000 That at some frat party at Yale, Brent Kavanaugh exposed himself in front of her.
00:27:26.000 In one message, Yara Savage said Kavanaugh asked her to go on record in his defense.
00:27:30.000 Two other messages show communication between Kavanaugh's team and former classmates in advance of the story.
00:27:35.000 The texts also demonstrate that Kavanaugh and Ramirez were more socially connected than previously understood.
00:27:40.000 And that Ramirez was uncomfortable around Kavanaugh when they saw each other at a wedding 10 years after they graduated.
00:27:45.000 Bircham's efforts also show that some potential witnesses have been unable to get important information to the FBI.
00:27:50.000 On Monday, a senior U.S.
00:27:51.000 official confirmed the White House has authorized the FBI to expand its initially limited investigation.
00:27:56.000 Okay, that was the original report.
00:27:57.000 Then, they went back and stealth edited.
00:27:59.000 And here's what they added.
00:28:13.000 Adding, it strikes me as you know, what is going on here?
00:28:15.000 When someone is calling around to try and refresh other people, is that what's going on?
00:28:18.000 What's going on with that?
00:28:19.000 That doesn't sound good.
00:28:20.000 It doesn't sound good to me.
00:28:21.000 It doesn't sound fair.
00:28:21.000 It doesn't sound proper.
00:28:22.000 It sounds like an orchestrated hit to take me out.
00:28:24.000 So in other words, NBC first claimed that Kavanaugh was calling around to try and quash Ramirez's story, and now it turns out that he had already testified.
00:28:31.000 He had already testified that it was Ramirez who was calling around to try and bolster her story.
00:28:36.000 So good job, media.
00:28:37.000 Well done all the way through.
00:28:39.000 There's another allegation that seems to be having some trouble.
00:28:42.000 Then there's the allegation from Julie Swetnick.
00:28:44.000 This, of course, coming from Michael Avenatti.
00:28:47.000 It turns out that a former boyfriend of Julie Swetnick has now issued a letter
00:28:53.000 to the Senate Judiciary Committee, and here's what it says.
00:28:57.000 My name is Dennis Ketterer.
00:28:59.000 I'm a former weeknight meteorologist for Channel 7 in Washington, D.C., and won an Emmy in 1995.
00:29:04.000 I want to preface this by saying I am neither proud nor guiltless in the actions about to be mentioned in this letter.
00:29:08.000 I hope my friends, family, and church members can forgive me.
00:29:11.000 I first met Julie Swetnick in 1993 at a Washington, D.C.
00:29:14.000 bar near Wisconsin Circle.
00:29:15.000 I was at a going-away party for Channel 7 anchor Dale Solly.
00:29:18.000 I left the party to go to the bar to buy a soda.
00:29:20.000 I haven't drunk alcohol since my 18th birthday.
00:29:22.000 As I sat alone at the end of the bar, Julie approached me. 0.99
00:29:24.000 She was alone, quite beautiful, well-dressed, and no drink in hand.
00:29:27.000 Consequently, my initial thought was that she might be a high-end call girl, because at the time I weighed 350 pounds, so what would someone like her want with me? 0.96
00:29:34.000 But there was no conversation about exchanging sex for money, so I decided to talk with her a few minutes.
00:29:38.000 I had never been hit on in a bar before.
00:29:40.000 I didn't leave with her that night, although we talked about getting together.
00:29:42.000 Over the next couple of weeks, we met at what I believed and still believe was Julie's place.
00:29:46.000 From the beginning, Julie knew I was married and that I was having marital issues. 0.70
00:29:49.000 He says she was an opportunist.
00:29:51.000 I felt she had only interest in my 350 pound self because I was on TV and well known.
00:29:55.000 Although we were not emotionally involved, there was physical contact.
00:29:57.000 We never had sex, despite the fact she was very sexually aggressive with me.
00:30:01.000 And then he talks about all of her fantasies, you know, sex with multiple guys.
00:30:06.000 And he suggests that she is politically motivated. 0.85
00:30:12.000 And he says,
00:30:14.000 That basically she's not to be believed. 0.96
00:30:16.000 He basically calls her a sociopath.
00:30:18.000 And so that's not great for her account either.
00:30:21.000 And her account always was really troublesome, right?
00:30:23.000 The gang rape account was always very difficult to substantiate, considering there should have been witnesses for any of that stuff.
00:30:30.000 We're going to get to a final allegation that the Democrats tried to bring up last minute in just one second.
00:30:35.000 But first, let's talk about your nutrition.
00:30:38.000 Right now, take a look at your superfood container.
00:30:42.000 It has a supplemental fax panel.
00:30:44.000 That means it is made from extract instead of real food.
00:30:47.000 Well, the folks over at BrickHouse Nutrition have decided that they needed to create a real superfood that is specially designed to enhance your health and help you reach your full potential, and it's called Field of Greens.
00:30:56.000 Field of Greens is the first real superfood.
00:30:58.000 The difference that sets it apart can be seen on the bottle.
00:31:00.000 It has a nutrition facts panel because it is indeed real food.
00:31:03.000 One scoop of Field of Greens has a full serving of real certified vegan, vegetarian, and USDA organic fruits and vegetables, complete with antioxidants.
00:31:10.000 It's a daily clean, green energy that fuels your body for a healthier, happier lifestyle.

00:31:53.000 Okay, so...
00:31:56.000 We're going to get to more of these allegations and the best story of the day.
00:31:59.000 It really is a spectacular story.
00:32:00.000 We'll get to all of that in just a second.
00:32:01.000 First, you're going to have to go over to Daily Wire.
00:32:03.000 This Friday, Daily Wire is launching the next chapter in Andrew Klavan's podcast series, Another Kingdom, performed by Michael Knowles.
00:32:09.000 If you aren't caught up on the first season, it's available on the website.
00:32:12.000 Subscribers to Daily Wire get early access to each episode.
00:32:16.000 And all of it is ad-free.
00:32:17.000 This season we've added a dramatic visual component, so it really is pretty cool.
00:32:20.000 If you've never listened to it, it really is great stuff, despite the fact that Michael Mowles does the reading.
00:32:24.000 He does a good job with it, actually.
00:32:25.000 He doesn't just sit there and stare blankly into camera, as usual.
00:32:28.000 It is worth subscribing just for it.
00:32:30.000 It's really fun and really interesting.
00:32:31.000 Go check it out right now at dailywire.com.
00:32:34.000 And subscribe, $9.99 a month to get the rest of this show live as well.
00:32:37.000 Plus, you get to send us questions in the mailbag, which we'll be doing this week.
00:32:40.000 Also, when you subscribe at YouTube or iTunes, where you should leave us a review at iTunes, as I mentioned earlier, you'll also get access to our Sunday special.
00:32:46.000 This week's Sunday special is a guy I've been wanting to have on for a very long time, Jonathan Haidt, professor at NYU, the author of The Righteous Mind and the New York Times bestseller, The Coddling of the American Mind.
00:32:56.000 He stopped by to talk about free speech, college campus, and all the rest.
00:33:00.000 Hi, my name is Jonathan Haidt, and I'm going to be talking with Ben on the Ben Shapiro Show Sunday Special.
00:33:05.000 I'll be talking about my new book, The Coddling of the American Mind, as well as the inexplicable puzzling events that have consumed much of campus life and national politics.
00:33:15.000 So you're going to want to check that out.
00:33:17.000 By the way, if you want a preview of what exactly that's going to be like, Thursday night I'm speaking at USC.
00:33:22.000 There's already talk that things are going to get maybe riotous outside and kind of insane over there.
00:33:27.000 So always looking forward to that.
00:33:29.000 Can't just have like a normal speech to a bunch of people.
00:33:31.000 Gotta always have some chaos.
00:33:32.000 So we're going to do that on Thursday night.
00:33:34.000 That will be lots of fun.
00:33:35.000 Also, I want to thank you.
00:33:36.000 If you are folks, before you sign off here, I just want to thank you.
00:33:38.000 If you watched our Sunday special, our Fox News special on Sunday,
00:33:42.000 Really want to thank our ratings were bananas again.
00:33:44.000 Really great ratings this Sunday, actually increased over our first Sunday show.
00:33:48.000 And the show this Sunday, this coming Sunday, is going to be awesome as well.
00:33:51.000 So I encourage you to tune in over there.
00:33:53.000 We are the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast in the nation.
00:34:00.000 Okay, so the final allegation that was brought by Democrats, again, all the allegations are falling apart.
00:34:05.000 The final allegation that was brought against Brett Kavanaugh was brought last minute by Senator Chris Coons.
00:34:09.000 So, here is the accusation.
00:34:11.000 Apparently, Chris Coons forwarded an allegation related to Judge Kavanaugh's years in New Haven.
00:34:15.000 The accuser, who apparently created a TV show in which people strip while dancing to their favorite music.
00:34:20.000 Which is an awesome TV show, probably.
00:34:21.000 Of course, Judge Kavanaugh had already graduated when this party allegedly took place and was a first-year law student.
00:34:26.000 That period is, as you well know, the most academically intense time in most students' lives.
00:34:28.000 This allegation has all the makings of a tabloid headline.
00:34:41.000 But there's just one problem.
00:34:43.000 The accuser freely admits to having no evidence whatsoever that Judge Kavanaugh even attended this party. 0.97
00:34:47.000 This is Chuck Grassley slapping the crap out of Chris Coons.
00:34:50.000 Rather than provide even circumstantial evidence of Judge Kavanaugh's attendance, the accuser provides some investigative evidence.
00:34:56.000 He proposes that someone search Judge Kavanaugh's calendars.
00:34:59.000 The very same calendars your colleagues have dismissed and derided.
00:35:02.000 to determine whether he attended a frat party at some point in 1987 or 1988.
00:35:06.000 And that's it.
00:35:07.000 All he alleges that he once witnessed a salacious party at a house owned by Judge Kavanaugh's undergrad fraternity.
00:35:12.000 He then separately advises us to obtain and search Judge Kavanaugh's calendars to determine if he attended.
00:35:17.000 We have reached a new level of absurdity with this allegation.
00:35:20.000 There is no evidence that Judge Kavanaugh is anywhere near the party or had anything to do with it at all.
00:35:24.000 In fact, the only person we can be sure attended the party was the accuser.
00:35:27.000 My investigators have serious work to do.
00:35:29.000 While the minority has refused to engage with the allegations against Judge Kavanaugh in any meaningful way, my investigators have tried to pursue every relevant lead.
00:35:36.000 I therefore hope that before forwarding an allegation in the future, you'll first consider whether you'd want you or your staff to spend valuable time investigating it.
00:35:43.000 Thanks for your consideration.
00:35:46.000 Honestly, I gotta love Chuck Grassley at this point.
00:35:49.000 Dude just does not give any Fs at this point.
00:35:52.000 He's like, you know what?
00:35:53.000 We are done.
00:35:53.000 We are just done here.
00:35:55.000 We are finished.
00:35:56.000 It's just great.
00:35:58.000 He did the same thing to Bernie Sanders earlier this week.
00:36:00.000 Bernie Sanders sent him a letter saying, we want a longer FBI investigation.
00:36:03.000 And Grassley sent him a letter back saying, Bernie, you came out five minutes after the nomination and said that you were going to oppose Kavanaugh.
00:36:10.000 Are you going to change your mind?
00:36:11.000 If you're going to change your mind, maybe we'll talk about it.
00:36:15.000 It's amazing.
00:36:16.000 So all of this leads up to the fact that there's just a shifting argument going on on the left. 0.75
00:36:19.000 This started off, if you recall, with an argument that Brett Kavanaugh was unfit for the court because he allegedly tried to rape a girl when he was 17.
00:36:26.000 Right?
00:36:26.000 That was the original allegation.
00:36:27.000 Then it turned into gang rape.
00:36:29.000 That turned out to be false.
00:36:30.000 Then it turned into exposing himself at a party.
00:36:32.000 No evidence of that.
00:36:33.000 Then it turned into, okay, well, maybe it's because he got angry.
00:36:36.000 Right?
00:36:36.000 So he's angry.
00:36:37.000 We can't have angry people on the court because Ruth Bader Ginsburg seems like a delight. 1.00
00:36:42.000 Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who goes out and rants as RBG, the notorious RBG, yeah!
00:36:48.000 And she goes out and she rants politically every five minutes. 1.00
00:36:51.000 She's perfectly, she's perfectly well-balanced to be on the court. 0.97
00:36:53.000 But Brett Kavanaugh, who got mad when you accused him of being a gang rapist, doesn't belong on the court. 0.97
00:36:58.000 The shifting goal posts are just insane.
00:37:00.000 Here's Hillary Clinton saying, Brett Kavanaugh's behavior is out of bounds.
00:37:04.000 Well, I mean, Hillary, you want to be president and you drank John McCain under a table and threw a lamp at your husband. 1.00
00:37:09.000 So there's that.
00:37:11.000 Here's Hillary Clinton wearing, again, something that she got from Mugabe's wardrobe in Zoolander.
00:37:21.000 But I think for anyone who believes there's such a thing as a judicial temperament, and that we want judges, particularly those on our highest court, to approach issues, approach plaintiffs and defendants with a sense of fairness, that there's a lot to be concerned about.
00:37:39.000 Yeah, because he got mad when you accused him of being... I remember someone else getting mad when her husband was accused of rape.
00:37:45.000 I remember that.
00:37:46.000 Who would that have been?
00:37:47.000 Accused of sexual assault.
00:37:48.000 That was probably true.
00:37:49.000 I remember somebody getting mad about that.
00:37:50.000 Oh yeah, and she wanted to be president of the United States.
00:37:52.000 By the way, I should correct my Zoolander reference.
00:37:54.000 It's Mugatu, not Mugabe.
00:37:55.000 Mugabe was a dictator of Zimbabwe.
00:37:57.000 Mugatu is the character from Zoolander.
00:38:00.000 Okay, how else did this shift the standards?
00:38:03.000 So Allison Camerata on CNN. 0.53
00:38:05.000 There's a story about how Brett Kavanaugh, back when he was in college, got in a bar fight with a guy.
00:38:10.000 He threw some ice at a guy.
00:38:12.000 Now, let me explain how this works.
00:38:14.000 I went to Harvard Law School.
00:38:15.000 A lot of great minds there.
00:38:16.000 A lot of these folks will be senators, the people who are in my class.
00:38:19.000 And there was a group of guys who would go out.
00:38:21.000 They invited me, but as you will hear, this is not my type of party. 0.97
00:38:25.000 They would go out to bars, they would get drunk off their butts, and then they would just sock each other in the nuts. 0.97
00:38:30.000 Okay, not a joke. 0.99
00:38:32.000 Like, they would actually just punch each other in the groin.
00:38:34.000 Like, this is an actual thing that I would hear about later.
00:38:37.000 As you can imagine, not my kind of party.
00:38:39.000 Okay, but the accusation here by Allison Camerata is that ice throwers are more likely to assault.
00:38:45.000 So, if you're in a bar fight with a dude at a bar, and you threw ice at him, then it must be that you sexually assaulted a woman years prior.
00:38:55.000 Makes perfect sense.
00:38:57.000 Makes perfect sense.
00:38:58.000 I'm with you all the way, Allison.
00:39:00.000 By the way, all the members of Congress who are very upset about drinking, if they say that, you know, heavy drinking is more likely to make you a sexual assaulter, I have some bad news for the folks in Congress.
00:39:08.000 Okay, the folks in Congress, that place is an unmet AA meeting.
00:39:13.000 Okay, if anybody ever wanted to win a Pulitzer, all they would have to do is just stake out the bars on Capitol Hill.
00:39:19.000 The number of Congress people who are fall-down drunks is astonishing. 0.97
00:39:22.000 In any case, here's Allison Camerata making a fool of herself. 1.00
00:39:25.000 I think that if you are known as a belligerent, mean, fighting drunk, that's relevant. 0.94
00:39:31.000 I think that it's relevant to, then, a woman who says that you would corner her and put your hand over her mouth.
00:39:38.000 Somehow, that, I think, makes more sense than if you were just a fun drunk who always fell right asleep.
00:39:46.000 Okay, or, alternatively, the two things don't necessarily have to do with one another because guys get in bar fights with other dudes and then they may not touch women.
00:39:54.000 Because that happens actually a fair bit.
00:39:56.000 Because that's reality. 0.99
00:39:57.000 That's called men with testosterone being drunk and jackasses. 0.99
00:40:01.000 I swear, it's like these people have never met a man. 0.99
00:40:05.000 It's an incredible, incredible thing.
00:40:06.000 And then the goalposts shifted even more.
00:40:08.000 So we'll get to that in just one second.
00:40:10.000 So the goalposts continue to shift.
00:40:11.000 Bernie Sanders, who has no intention of voting for Brett Kavanaugh, he says, you know what?
00:40:15.000 We need more time.
00:40:16.000 That's what we need.
00:40:17.000 More time.
00:40:18.000 Because I am very old, and I cannot comprehend things at the speed at which I once used to comprehend all of the pudding.
00:40:25.000 And therefore, we need more time.
00:40:27.000 Sure, I'm not going to vote for him, but that does not matter.
00:40:30.000 It does not matter at all.
00:40:31.000 At all, at all.
00:40:33.000 Bernie, talk.
00:40:33.000 Go.
00:40:34.000 What has to happen now is the FBI needs to do a full investigation determining his veracity.
00:40:42.000 It's not a question of drinking.
00:40:43.000 Everybody, you know, millions of people in America drink.
00:40:46.000 It's a question of whether you are lying before the Judiciary Committee of the United States Senate.
00:40:51.000 If you are lying, you should not be seated.
00:40:53.000 And by the way, that
00:40:55.000 Investigation should be thorough, should not be limited to a week.
00:40:58.000 And the idea that we are voting or being asked to vote before this report can be read is totally crazy.
00:41:06.000 OK, so that's the news story.
00:41:07.000 They're not taking enough time.
00:41:08.000 That's that's the real problem here.
00:41:10.000 If they just took more time and then you have Jeffrey Toobin, who basically sums it up at the very end.
00:41:14.000 Jeffrey Toobin essentially says, you know what?
00:41:16.000 You know what?
00:41:18.000 I don't care whether he's guilty or innocent. 0.62
00:41:19.000 He's white. 0.94
00:41:20.000 Which is rich coming from Jeffrey Toobin, a white dude who knocked up his mistress, tried to pay for her abortion, refused to pay child support until ordered to by a court.
00:41:29.000 But he says that every allegation should be taken seriously while he sits there on CNN with his job after trying to pay for an abortion and ditch his child support necessities.
00:41:37.000 Good job, Jeffrey Toobin.
00:41:38.000 Here he is saying he cries himself to sleep over the fate of white men in America. 0.62
00:41:42.000 The innate sexism of the statement that white men in America don't actually deserve due process.
00:41:47.000 Now, I'm not a big fan of the victimology. 0.83
00:41:49.000 White men are victims, white men or black people are victims, or gays are victims, or Jews are victims. 0.86
00:41:53.000 I'm not a big fan. 0.98
00:41:54.000 America is a free country.
00:41:55.000 Nobody's a victim unless you can show me proof of victimhood.
00:41:58.000 This right here is proof of victimhood.
00:41:59.000 When the CNN lead legal analyst says that white men do not deserve due process or the presumption of innocence, that actually is pretty good evidence of actual racism and sexism taking place.
00:42:08.000 Here's Jeffrey Toobin doing it.
00:42:10.000 I cry myself to sleep over the fate of white men in America. 0.98
00:42:14.000 White men have no power. 1.00
00:42:16.000 White men... I mean, it's such garbage. 1.00
00:42:18.000 I mean, it's so ridiculous. 1.00
00:42:20.000 All this whining about the poor plight of white men is ridiculous. 1.00
00:42:26.000 Okay, it's not... We're not crying about the plight of white men. 0.99
00:42:29.000 There's a white man who's being railroaded based on no presumption of innocence, and you guys are cheering it on!
00:42:35.000 How are we supposed to react?
00:42:37.000 I would hope that people of every color would be a little upset when a certain group is singled out and then told that mob rule should prevail.
00:42:44.000 Mob rule has been historically very bad for minorities in this country.
00:42:48.000 Very bad for minorities in this country.
00:42:50.000 That's the reason due process is such an important thing.
00:42:53.000 It's why it's part of the 14th amendment and not just part of the 5th amendment.
00:42:56.000 Because the idea was due process had to be extended to all Americans.
00:43:00.000 It's pretty astonishing.
00:43:01.000 Now, all of this is, in fact, unifying Republicans.
00:43:03.000 It should. 0.72
00:43:04.000 I mean, you have Cory Booker, that insane bag of lunacy, who says the senator from New Jersey, Spartacus, he came out and he says that it's actually, he finally spills the beans. 0.72
00:43:14.000 He just says, listen, it doesn't matter whether Kavanaugh is guilty or innocent. 0.95
00:43:16.000 I don't like him because I'm bald or something. 0.99
00:43:19.000 Here is Cory Booker in his crazy eyes. 0.80
00:43:22.000 And then ultimately, not whether he's innocent or guilty, this is not a trial, but ultimately,
00:43:29.000 Has enough questions been raised that we should not move on to another candidate?
00:43:35.000 And that long list put together by the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society... That's unbelievable!
00:43:39.000 It doesn't matter if he's guilty or innocent, but have enough questions been raised?
00:43:42.000 Okay, Mr. Potato Head.
00:43:45.000 Got up this morning, went and put on his angry eyes. 0.97
00:43:51.000 Cory fricking Booker.
00:43:52.000 And then they wonder why Republicans are so united. 0.76
00:43:54.000 So here's the here's the hilarious thing.
00:43:55.000 Democrats thought this was going to unite them.
00:43:57.000 Oopsie daisy.
00:43:59.000 It turns out that the Quinnipiac ballot shows that the Democratic generic ballot lead has been sliced in half in a month.
00:44:06.000 Has been sliced in half.
00:44:08.000 As I said last week, you know, we did a little kind of Q&A.
00:44:11.000 I was doing a live radio show and in the middle of the breaks, I was answering questions, which we do for subscribers, which is why you should subscribe.
00:44:18.000 And somebody asked, you know, do you think Republicans will be more motivated?
00:44:21.000 I said, I know I am.
00:44:22.000 If it weren't illegal, I would go register to vote eight times in Ohio.
00:44:26.000 Because yes, yes, 49% of Americans back the Democratic candidate in their local race for the U.S.
00:44:32.000 House.
00:44:33.000 42% support the Democratic candidate.
00:44:35.000 That is a massive decrease in the Democratic support level.
00:44:39.000 Okay, when Democrats had a 14-point lead, it's now down to 7 in the Quinnipiac polls. 0.97
00:44:43.000 It is possible that Republicans retain the House because Democrats are so disgusting. 0.89
00:44:47.000 Which would just be poetic justice. 0.95
00:44:49.000 Wouldn't that be phenomenal?
00:44:50.000 If the Republicans retain the House because of Brett Kavanaugh?
00:44:53.000 That would just... First of all, the insanity that is likely to break out on the back of that will just be UNBELIEVABLE.
00:44:59.000 And things will just be nutso.
00:45:01.000 Nutso bazunkers, as I say to my children. 0.95
00:45:04.000 It'll be crazy.
00:45:06.000 So we can all look forward to that.
00:45:07.000 OK, now I have to get to my favorite story of the day.
00:45:10.000 So this is indeed the best story of the day.
00:45:12.000 It is a fantastic story.
00:45:15.000 It's so good.
00:45:15.000 So it turns out there are these three professors and these three professors, Helen Pluckrose, James Lindsay and Peter Boghossian.
00:45:23.000 And they decided to prank all of these stupid academic journals out there. 0.99
00:45:27.000 The story is so great. 0.99
00:45:28.000 I love it so much.
00:45:30.000 Here is Peter Boghossian explaining what exactly they did to prank these journals.
00:45:35.000 Since approximately June of 2017, I, along with two other concerned academics, Peter Boghossian and Helen Pluckrose, have been writing intentionally broken academic papers and submitting them to highly respected journals in fields that study gender, race, sexuality, and similar topics.
00:45:52.000 We did this to expose a political corruption that's taken hold of the university.
00:45:56.000 By this point, several of these papers have been accepted in highly respected journals, and one, that claims that dog-humping incidents can be taken as evidence of rape culture, has been officially honored as excellent scholarship.
00:46:09.000 I'm not going to lie to you, we had a lot of fun with this project.
00:46:12.000 The reviewers are worried that we didn't respect the dog's privacy!
00:46:15.000 That's their concern!
00:46:18.000 Nobody respected their privacy!
00:46:21.000 But don't let that lead you to believe that we're not addressing a serious problem.
00:46:25.000 If you have a few minutes, I'll try to explain.
00:46:27.000 Okay, it's so good.
00:46:31.000 It's so good.
00:46:31.000 So what did they do?
00:46:32.000 They submitted all these insane papers to these feminist and gender studies journals and they all got printed. 0.91
00:46:39.000 And the papers are unreal.
00:46:40.000 So there's the dog park paper you heard him describe there about why dog humping incidents are rape culture.
00:46:46.000 I talked about it on the show.
00:46:47.000 Here, there's another one where they wrote a paper.
00:46:50.000 Excuse me, it's so good.
00:46:54.000 They wrote a paper claiming that when a guy privately pleasures himself while thinking about a woman without her consent, in fact, without her ever finding out about it, that he's committed sexual violence against her.
00:47:06.000 That was printed in a queer studies journal.
00:47:10.000 They wrote a paper arguing that the reason super intelligent AI is potentially dangerous is because it is being programmed... I want to give these people a medal.
00:47:32.000 They argued that the reason super intelligent AI
00:47:35.000 We're good to go.
00:48:00.000 It went into a journal called Fat Studies.
00:48:10.000 It's so good.
00:48:12.000 They found something called feminist glaciology.
00:48:16.000 Okay, this is a real thing apparently.
00:48:18.000 So they copied the idea, and then they wrote a feminist astronomy paper arguing that feminist and queer astrology should be considered part of the science of astronomy, which we'll brand as intrinsically sexist. 0.98
00:48:29.000 And researchers loved it.
00:48:31.000 Then they wrote a paper about trans people in the workplace.
00:48:34.000 It says men use male preserves to enact dying macho masculinities discourses in a way society at large won't accept.
00:48:42.000 They published a paper best summarized as, quote, a gender scholar goes to Hooters to try to figure out why it exists.
00:48:49.000 Okay, it's so, it's so great.
00:48:52.000 Defamiliarizing common experiences, pretending to be mystified by them, and then looking for social constructions to explain them.
00:48:57.000 Sure.
00:48:58.000 Oh man, I can't even read this one on the air.
00:49:02.000 Wow.
00:49:03.000 It's, it would be so... I'll try to explain this in the most PG rated possible way.
00:49:15.000 Wow, this is going to be a challenge.
00:49:17.000 So they did a paper on certain toys, implements that are used in times of intimacy, typically by men who are not straight.
00:49:26.000 So they asked the question, why don't straight men tend to pleasure themselves via use of these implements?
00:49:34.000 That are generally used by gay men, and what would happen if they did? 0.86
00:49:38.000 And their paper was printed in Sexuality and Culture when they concluded that men would be less transphobic and more feminist if they allowed themselves to be treated in a way that straight men typically are not particularly fond of.
00:49:52.000 You know, that they try to avoid, why we try to avoid going to the proctologist as often as possible.
00:49:58.000 Oh my god, the very best one, of course.
00:50:00.000 The very best one is that they submitted a paper to the feminist social work journal, Affilia.
00:50:04.000 Okay, this is what they did.
00:50:06.000 A feminist rewrite of a chapter from Mein Kampf.
00:50:10.000 They literally took a chapter from Mein Kampf, they replaced some of the language with feminist language, and they submitted it to Affilia, and Affilia printed it. 0.95
00:50:16.000 Okay, is it fair to say that all of this stuff is garbage? 0.98
00:50:20.000 That all of these journals are garbage? 0.99
00:50:21.000 I think it's pretty fair to say that. 0.99
00:50:23.000 I think it's pretty fair to say that.
00:50:25.000 At the time of the publishing, they have seven papers accepted, four of which have been published online.
00:50:29.000 Three more have been accepted without having had time to see the publication through.
00:50:33.000 Seven papers are still in play.
00:50:34.000 Six were retired as fatally flawed.
00:50:36.000 They had four invitations to peer review other papers as a result of their own exemplary scholarship.
00:50:41.000 And one paper that gained special recognition for excellence from Gender, Place, and Culture.
00:50:45.000 That was the dog humping paper.
00:50:49.000 Just spectacular.
00:50:51.000 Just spectacular.
00:50:52.000 I love this.
00:50:53.000 They said, Part 3.
00:50:54.000 Why did we do this? 0.99
00:50:55.000 Because we're racist, sexist, bigoted, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, trans-hysterical, anthropocentric, problematic, privileged, bullying, far-right-wing, cis-hetero, straight-white males, and one female who is demonstrating her internalized misogyny and overwhelming need for male approval. 0.98
00:51:07.000 We wanted to enable bigotry, preserve our privilege, and take the side of hate. 0.98
00:51:11.000 But the real answer is that, obviously, they're joking. 0.99
00:51:14.000 The real answer is that these things are just junk. 1.00
00:51:17.000 Postmodernism is a bag of junk. 1.00
00:51:19.000 It's a bag of junk, and they just proved it. 0.98
00:51:21.000 It's basically a stepped-up version of that story that was floating around for a while from a modern art museum, where a guy went to a modern art museum, took off his glasses, put them on the floor, and then just stood there staring at them. 0.84
00:51:34.000 And soon there were 100 people crowding around to stare at his glasses on the floor.
00:51:37.000 And he did this for like five minutes.
00:51:39.000 And then he reaches down, picks up his glasses, wipes them off, puts them on, and leaves.
00:51:42.000 Right, so it's basically that, except for academic studies journals.
00:51:45.000 I can't believe that people are upset about the idea of me subsidizing someone to study these topics at college.
00:51:51.000 We should all be for this.
00:51:52.000 Okay, so you know what?
00:51:53.000 That really should have gone in things I like because it is the thing that I like the most of all the things.
00:51:57.000 It is so good.
00:51:58.000 Okay, but another thing that I like.
00:51:59.000 So that's a retroactive thing I like.
00:52:01.000 Another thing that I like.
00:52:03.000 Over the weekend I read a really fantastic book.
00:52:05.000 It's a lot of fun to read called Born to Run by Christopher McDougall.
00:52:07.000 All about long-distance running.
00:52:09.000 And the most salient part of this book is that basically he says that athletic sneakers are a scam.
00:52:14.000 That the people who get the fewest knee and hip injuries running are people who run barefoot or who run with the flattest possible shoes because when you have really nice cushiony shoes, it actually teaches your body not to run properly because you don't actually feel the impact of each step when you're running improperly.
00:52:30.000 But the book is really, it's a page turner, it's fun to read.
00:52:33.000 It's basically about super endurance athletes, guys who race 100 miles, which is four marathons in a row at a time.
00:52:40.000 It's pretty incredible stuff, and women. 1.00
00:52:41.000 And it talks about sort of the history of man
00:52:44.000 Aight.
00:52:45.000 In terms of anthropology, basically how human beings were evolved, specifically became upright walking creatures so that we could run very long distances.
00:52:53.000 His theory and the theory of some scientists is the reason we began walking upright, which has always been a great mystery, is because it allows us to shed excess body heat and go very long distances to actually run down animals.
00:53:04.000 So you could actually catch an antelope simply by running after the antelope, even though you're slower than the antelope, you can run after it, keeping it in sight, until it basically just gives out, falls over, and you eat it.
00:53:14.000 And that's basically why human beings evolved the way that they did, with no hair and walking upright, and with certain muscles at the back of your neck to keep your head stable.
00:53:22.000 Really an interesting book, born to run by Christopher McDougall, so that is good stuff.
00:53:25.000 Okay, time for a couple of quick things that I hate, and then we'll be— I mean, it's a long show, but I'm sorry, I had to take time with that story, it was too good.
00:53:34.000 Okay, so things I hate, let's do it.
00:53:35.000 So, Eric Holder.
00:53:37.000 You remember Barack Obama's wingman?
00:53:39.000 Remember Barack Obama's wingman?
00:53:41.000 He said that he was going to turn the AG's office into basically a preserve of the presidency.
00:53:46.000 Now he says that Jeff Sessions is weakening the Attorney General position.
00:53:48.000 Even though Jeff Sessions is under fire, even though Jeff Sessions has done, I think, yeoman's work in his job, even though he has been honest about his approach to the job, Eric Holder, the most corrupt AG of my lifetime, he says that Jeff Sessions is a real problem.
00:54:01.000 I think by taking what he has taken, he not only weakens himself as Attorney General, it has an effect on the institution.
00:54:08.000 And at some point you have to say to the President, no, you've got to respond to the President.
00:54:14.000 I mean, these are extraordinary things.
00:54:15.000 I've never seen a President talk to an Attorney General in the way that this President has spoken to his Attorney General.
00:54:21.000 But I think you have to respond in extraordinary ways, always thinking about how you're going to protect the institution.
00:54:26.000 Yes, I'm sure that that's it.
00:54:28.000 I'm sure that Jeff Sessions is undermining the institution because he hasn't quit.
00:54:31.000 Because then I'm sure you would love the next AG.
00:54:33.000 For sure.
00:54:34.000 For sure.
00:54:35.000 Amazing stuff from Eric Holder. 1.00
00:54:36.000 Speaking of hypocrisy and stupidity from the Democrats, John Kerry, who just will not leave. 1.00
00:54:43.000 His face, collapsing like a mudslide in the Hollywood hills, growing longer and longer each day. 1.00
00:54:50.000 One day, his face, like an Easter Island head, will stretch all the way from the top of his six-foot-four body, all the way down to the floor, where it will remain for all eternity.
00:55:03.000 Here is John Kerry, who wants to run for president, the worst secretary of state in American history,
00:55:09.000 Also a terrible senator and a bad human being, talking about why Ted Kennedy was a great human being, even though he left a woman to drown in a river.
00:55:19.000 What about Ted Kennedy?
00:55:22.000 Similarly, people have been critical through the years, and he was critical of himself.
00:55:26.000 He stood up and owned moments where he knew he'd stepped over the lines.
00:55:34.000 Really?
00:55:36.000 So that's a thing now?
00:55:37.000 Ted Kennedy owned up?
00:55:39.000 He stepped up?
00:55:40.000 Really?
00:55:40.000 Like the guy who put on like the fake dog collar?
00:55:42.000 Like the fake neck collar?
00:55:43.000 To avoid responsibility?
00:55:45.000 The guy who claimed that he had taken, the reason that he hadn't, that he'd gone to sleep is because he'd taken a drug that actually is a picker-upper?
00:55:51.000 Go watch Chappaquiddick if you actually think, the movie Chappaquiddick, if you actually think that what Ted John Kennedy just said is true.
00:55:56.000 Also, Ted Kennedy, the guy who was so remorseful that he then basically went straight back to sexually assaulting women, along with Chris Dodd.
00:56:04.000 The two of them would sandwich waitresses at local restaurants.
00:56:07.000 Really, this was reported by, I think, The New Yorker in 1990, 1989.
00:56:10.000 So, yeah, well done there, John Kerry.
00:56:12.000 Just spectacular stuff all the way through.
00:56:14.000 Okay, before I go, one quick mention of a company that just did me a favor.
00:56:18.000 So, I know many of you have been wondering,
00:56:21.000 Ben, what's up with that spectacular new yarmulke on your head?
00:56:24.000 Now, you probably didn't notice because my yarmulke is black, and I mean, most black yarmulkes look the same, but if you were closely watching, and I know my fans were, you'll notice that this yarmulke is missing something.
00:56:33.000 What is it missing?
00:56:33.000 It's missing bobby pins.
00:56:34.000 There are no bobby pins.
00:56:35.000 But how does it stay on your head, Ben?
00:56:37.000 That's the question.
00:56:38.000 Well, the answer is that the bobby pins are internal.
00:56:40.000 So, for all the Orthodox Jewish listeners that I have,
00:56:43.000 You know, we're a huge crowd.
00:56:45.000 Massive.
00:56:45.000 Growing.
00:56:46.000 Okay?
00:56:47.000 For all you folks, there's something called Clipped Keepas.
00:56:48.000 Both words are with a K. And they allow you to... The clips are internal.
00:56:53.000 So, as you can see, there's no actual bobby pin on top of your head.
00:56:57.000 It's spectacular.
00:56:58.000 Zoom in.
00:56:58.000 Go.
00:56:58.000 Go.
00:56:59.000 Go.
00:56:59.000 Yep.
00:57:00.000 Got it.
00:57:00.000 It's amazing.
00:57:01.000 Okay, so, go check it out.
00:57:03.000 ClippedKeepas.com.
00:57:04.000 They got their free plug.
00:57:06.000 Good people.
00:57:07.000 Go check them out right now.
00:57:07.000 Okay, we will be back here tomorrow with all the latest insanity because my goodness, I leave for two days and it's just madness!
00:57:16.000 Madness!
00:57:17.000 We'll see you there then.
