00:00:00.000
So Christine Ford, the accuser of Judge Kavanaugh, has now presented a list of demands,
00:00:06.940
conditions that must be met if she's going to testify and put her allegations on the record.
00:00:13.260
Here's the Huffington Post with their report on these conditions. It says,
00:00:18.440
Attorneys for Christine Ford reportedly presented the Senate Judiciary Committee with a list of
00:00:23.260
conditions on Thursday, moving forward negotiations for a hearing before the committee next week.
00:00:26.740
Some of the conditions included Kavanaugh not being present during Blasey's testimony
00:00:30.880
and for the committee to not turn the hearing into a media circus. Oh, yes. Yeah, the committee.
00:00:36.420
They're the ones turning this into a media circus. Attorneys Deborah Katz and Lisa Banks offered
00:00:40.840
the suggestions during a call held with committee staff members on Thursday night.
00:00:48.400
The negotiations for the hearing mostly focused on logistics and safety issues and lasted about 30
00:00:53.580
minutes. During the call, Blasey's legal team asked that Kavanaugh speak first at the hearing.
00:01:00.300
The attorneys also asked if the senators could preside over questioning instead of bringing an
00:01:05.100
outside counsel. With no female Republicans on the committee, the senators considered using their
00:01:10.340
female aides to question Blasey at the hearing. Her attorneys also asked if the committee could
00:01:15.160
subpoena Mark Judge, who's the other guy that was allegedly there. They also discussed having only
00:01:19.060
one camera in the room during the hearing and asked if the hearing could take place on Thursday instead
00:01:23.140
of Monday. OK, so she wants to delay the hearing until Thursday. She doesn't want any lawyers there.
00:01:29.760
She doesn't want to be questioned by the aides of the committee members. She wants to be questioned
00:01:33.640
by the committee members themselves. She doesn't want Kavanaugh there. And she wants Kavanaugh to testify
00:01:40.360
It's interesting that she doesn't want the female aides to come in and question her. And she doesn't
00:01:48.580
want any lawyers. She doesn't want to be questioned by lawyers. She wants to be questioned by these
00:01:53.820
Republican men. Right. Now, I wonder why that is. Could it be that Ford wants the damaging and
00:02:02.580
embarrassing spectacle of a bunch of old white men asking her about her alleged teenage sexual assault?
00:02:07.200
Is that does she want to embarrass Republicans and to and to damage them? Well, yeah, that's exactly
00:02:12.900
what she wants, obviously. But I ask you this. A traumatized woman who is just seeking truth and
00:02:18.820
justice, does she act like this? Is this how she goes about it? Does she make these kinds of
00:02:24.520
calculations? Is she is she as politically strategic as this? If she just wants to tell the truth and get
00:02:31.620
the truth out there, is this what she's doing? Does this make sense? And then you have worst of all,
00:02:38.440
you have the demand that Kavanaugh testify first. This is unbelievably absurd.
00:02:46.000
And this is where we have to kind of take the you know, there's no way to dance around it and try
00:02:51.520
to be nice to Christine Ford and everything. No, this is just wrong. That she wants Kavanaugh to defend
00:02:58.560
himself against allegations on the record before the allegations have been made on the record.
00:03:04.880
She wants him to defend himself against her charges before she's made the charges.
00:03:12.080
So what is he defending himself against? Rumors? Media reports? The stuff that he saw on Twitter?
00:03:18.140
No, this is crazy. There's a reason why in a court of law you get to face your accuser, number one,
00:03:22.980
and number two, your accuser makes the accusations first, and then you go. They make the accusations,
00:03:29.360
they present whatever evidence they have, and then you go. You know, but what Ford wants and what
00:03:34.880
the Democrats want, they want innocent, they want guilty until proven innocent. They want the presumption
00:03:40.200
of guilt. And then for then Kavanaugh has to prove his innocence, prove a negative, prove that he didn't
00:03:46.620
do something at some point 35 years ago. And they want him to do that before the actual allegations
00:03:55.540
have been put on the record. This is inexcusable. It's wrong. And it makes Christine Ford look like a
00:04:07.720
liar. That's what it makes her look like. She is presenting herself as a liar and a manipulator.
00:04:14.580
Now, I don't know if she's either of those things, but that is how she's presenting herself right now.
00:04:21.420
And there seems to be this certain, you know, attitude that, well, because Ford is a victim,
00:04:26.140
she should get to do what she wants and she's above criticism. But there's a problem with that
00:04:31.360
attitude. First of all, I'm not at all convinced that she is a victim. You know, that's the, that's the,
00:04:38.040
the, the, we don't operate under the assumption that she's a victim. She has to prove that.
00:04:42.860
And she hasn't proved it. So, you know, liberals are obviously going to operate under the assumption
00:04:49.840
that she's telling the truth, but they're operating under that assumption because it would be
00:04:53.840
politically convenient for them if she, if she were telling the truth. So that's why they decided
00:04:58.200
that she is. But of course, in reality, we have been given no reason to believe Ford at this point.
00:05:04.020
We've been given a lot of reasons not to believe her. You know, the lack of evidence, the lack of
00:05:09.220
detail, the way this stuff has been presented, um, her, her, her unwillingness to just come forward
00:05:14.300
straightforwardly and tell the story, I mean, all these things, they, they have, they have only
00:05:18.740
enhanced the credibility of Kavanaugh and they've detracted from her, from her credibility. So we
00:05:22.940
have been given no reason whatsoever at this point to believe anything she's saying. She has acted every
00:05:29.760
step of the way, like a political agent. She has acted like somebody with an agenda. Okay.
00:05:34.780
And that is an agenda beyond simply telling the truth. And here's the other thing.
00:05:41.560
Even if she is telling the truth, even if she did have this experience with Kavanaugh 35 years ago,
00:05:47.520
which again, I'm not at all convinced that she did, but even if she did,
00:05:50.960
that doesn't mean that she's beyond reproach. It doesn't mean she gets to dictate terms. It doesn't
00:05:58.180
mean that, um, that we can't hold her to some kind of standard. It doesn't put her above criticism.
00:06:02.720
This is one of the worst things about, about, about modern American culture. A modern American
00:06:07.340
culture is this idea, this idea that victimhood puts you above criticism, above scrutiny. And we
00:06:14.200
say, well, she's a victim. So it's, so it's okay. No, no, that's wrong. Whether she's telling the truth
00:06:20.100
or not. And I don't think we are getting the truth from her, at least not the whole truth,
00:06:26.420
but how she has handled this situation has been in my view, simply wrong, terribly wrong, awfully wrong.
00:06:35.340
Starting with the decision to hold onto this story for 35 years and then drop it like a bomb into the
00:06:39.580
middle of a Supreme court confirmation hearing. Listen, I, you know, I know, I know not everyone
00:06:43.420
will agree with this, but I really think that if you have a terrible experience, if something terrible
00:06:48.540
happens to you, like the thing that Ford alleges, um, and if you're going to come forward and tell
00:06:55.680
that story at all, it's reasonable to expect that you do that sometime before the 35 year mark. Okay.
00:07:02.580
And if you wait that long and you've told no one and you have no evidence, well, then you know what?
00:07:11.500
It's too late. You waited too long. You waited until there's no chance that you can prove your
00:07:17.960
allegations. And now you're coming forward at the worst possible time.
00:07:25.440
And you could say, well, she just wants justice. What? She didn't want justice, uh,
00:07:28.520
right after it happened. She didn't want justice five years after it happened, 10 years after it
00:07:31.860
happened, 20 years after it happened, 25 years after it happened, 30 years after it happened. She
00:07:35.500
didn't want justice any of those times. And now she suddenly wants justice. I don't know. I, you know,
00:07:38.920
I'm, I'm sorry. I just don't, uh, and not only did she wait this long, but she's been playing
00:07:44.720
these games. I will testify. I won't testify. Okay. I'll come, but here are my conditions. I don't
00:07:48.520
want one camera there. I don't want him there. I want him to go first. Uh, I want the committee
00:07:51.880
members. I don't want the female aides. I don't want lawyers, so on and so forth. And the whole
00:07:55.520
country has to wait with bated breath while Christine Ford decides what she wants to do. And this is okay
00:08:00.640
because why? Because, because she says she was assaulted 35 years ago. No, you know, that, that,
00:08:04.660
that, that's crazy. It doesn't justify it. It doesn't.
00:08:15.280
Victimhood does not give you this kind of currency where you get to do whatever you want
00:08:28.380
You know, Donald Trump is, Donald Trump sent out some tweets this morning and he's getting a lot of
00:08:31.860
criticism because he said, uh, well, you know, if this happened, why didn't she call the police?
00:08:37.020
And, uh, and, and yeah, I know there are plenty of times when somebody is really victimized, raped,
00:08:41.640
you know, et cetera. And they don't, they don't go to the police for any number of reasons. You know,
00:08:45.360
they're afraid, they're confused. They, they have guilt, they, whatever. Uh, so, so many different
00:08:50.580
things, but, but I think it's still a legitimate question. It's, it's, it's a totally legitimate
00:08:56.800
question because you never went to the local police and now you want the FBI to investigate
00:09:03.100
35 years. So you had all that time. You never went to the local law enforcement. And then,
00:09:06.800
and then 35 years later, you want the FBI to investigate. I think it's a perfectly reasonable
00:09:10.880
question to ask. Why didn't you ever report this to anybody? That is a very reasonable question
00:09:19.760
and it deserves an answer. And it's an answer that should have already been given.
00:09:28.140
Um, and I think there's a, there's a very real question to be asked about, like,
00:09:38.580
even if something like this happened, is it the right thing to do to come out 35 years later
00:09:47.200
to try to use it against the person while they're on the cusp of some kind of, you know,
00:09:52.840
promotion or something? Like you hold onto it all this time and now you want to use it to destroy
00:10:00.100
them, um, 35 years later. Is that really the right thing to do? Does it automatically become right
00:10:09.020
because of your victim status? I don't think so. Now let me stipulate one thing. I,
00:10:16.940
I don't think that Christine Ford is the villain in this situation. Um,
00:10:22.140
I think she's made decisions and behaved in a way that is pretty inexcusable, but the villains are
00:10:27.740
the Democrats and they obviously are using her. They are happily eagerly destroying Brett Kavanaugh
00:10:35.320
and they're pretending suddenly to care about women, even though they didn't care about women
00:10:39.500
when Bill Clinton was raping them. Allegedly, they didn't care about women when Ted Kennedy drowned
00:10:43.860
one in his car. So now they're pretending to, so they're liars. But what makes this even more
00:10:47.840
disgusting, what makes this just so dark and evil is the reason why they are doing this. Yeah. The
00:10:53.580
reason is they want to prevent obviously Kavanaugh for being confirmed, but why do they want to
00:10:56.820
prevent it? Why are they so desperate to prevent it? In fact, they're so desperate to get rid of
00:11:00.300
Kavanaugh with it. Now there's a few Democrats have gone on the record now and said that even if
00:11:05.420
Kavanaugh is confirmed, when the Democrats are in control of Congress, they're going to investigate him
00:11:10.220
anyway. That's how desperate they are to get rid of him, that they will investigate a sitting Supreme
00:11:14.960
Court justice because of allegations from 35 years ago. So when they get into power, they want to
00:11:22.760
impeach the president and they want to get rid of a Supreme Court justice. But why? Why are they so
00:11:29.740
desperate to stop Kavanaugh from being a Supreme Court justice? Well, we all know the answer. The answer
00:11:34.900
is abortion. You know, there's a reason why Supreme Court hearings turn into a circus only after Roe v.
00:11:41.120
Wade. Democrats are desperate to hold on to their ability and their power to kill babies. They are
00:11:51.340
owned by the abortion industry. They have sold their soul to the abortion industry. And liberals have
00:11:58.460
this godlike power to kill babies and they are desperate to hold on to it. And they will do
00:12:03.560
anything. That's what this is about. So remember that. Remember what this is really about. It's about
00:12:12.740
killing babies. All right. I'm going to cut it off early. I'm going to leave it there. Hope you guys
