The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 114 - Kavanaugh FBI Investigation a Witch Hunt

00:00:00.000 So the FBI investigation into Brett Kavanaugh is happening, I should say, another investigation.

00:00:07.040 The man has been investigated by the FBI through FBI background checks like six times. So

00:00:13.380 this is the seventh time, the seventh investigation. No allegation or hint of sexual

00:00:20.900 misconduct was uncovered through the first six investigations. So now we're going to have a

00:00:29.060 seventh one and maybe they'll turn something up this time around. Now, I've heard some very,

00:00:38.420 frankly, well, stupid Republicans and conservatives who have said, hey, you know, there's no problem

00:00:47.680 here. There's no problem with an FBI investigation. What's the big deal with an FBI investigation,

00:00:53.040 right? It's only going to last a week and it'll help us get to the truth.

00:00:59.060 So it's great. You know, you don't lose anything here.

00:01:03.800 Well, to the people in that camp, you really need to wake up from your coma. I think it's time. It's a

00:01:14.300 time to awaken and look around and just exist within reality. I think it's really time for you to do that

00:01:23.460 if you're in that camp. You need to realize that the nothing the Democrats say is true.

00:01:32.140 They're the ones who want this FBI investigation. Nothing they say is true. Nothing they say is said in good

00:01:38.720 faith. Nothing, nothing at all. There's a reason why Democrats desperately want this

00:01:44.700 investigation. And like everything else that they say and they do, it's got nothing to do with the

00:01:50.340 truth whatsoever, ever. Okay. If Democrats were interested in truth, they wouldn't have held on

00:01:57.440 to these allegations until the last minute. If Democrats were interested in the truth,

00:02:02.920 they wouldn't be entertaining wild conspiracy theories. They wouldn't be entertaining these

00:02:10.000 wild stories from emotionally unbalanced women about roving high school rape gangs. Okay. If

00:02:16.420 Democrats were interested in the truth, they wouldn't have announced that they believe Christine

00:02:21.440 Ford before they'd ever even heard either one of them testify. If Democrats were interested in the

00:02:26.800 truth, they would have taken the opportunity during the hearing to ask Christine Ford some actual

00:02:34.040 questions about what allegedly happened rather than just taking turns, giving her high fives and each

00:02:40.180 other high fives. If Democrats were interested in the truth, they would have actually asked Kavanaugh

00:02:45.580 about the allegations rather than asking him about things that were in his yearbook when he was 17.

00:02:51.360 Um, but Democrats are not interested in the truth at all whatsoever. In fact, they've already said

00:03:01.400 that Kavanaugh is unfit for the Supreme court, no matter what the FBI investigation turns out. They

00:03:08.400 made, they made that declaration minutes after his nomination was announced, they'd already decided that

00:03:13.720 he was unfit and they made it on the, at the hearing on Thursday before the guy had even testified they

00:03:22.860 had convicted him. They've already said that they, that they believe the accuser. They don't need any

00:03:27.660 more information. And even now, as they demand an FBI investigation, they've already made it abundantly

00:03:34.440 clear that they're going to oppose him no matter what. And they're going to be unsatisfied with the

00:03:40.400 investigation no matter what. But, um, the investigation won't turn up everything, anything

00:03:48.680 at all, as, as we're all well aware, if we've been paying attention, because there's no evidence.

00:03:55.700 Okay. There are no witnesses. The accuser doesn't even know the year or the place that this attack

00:04:03.140 allegedly happened. So they have nothing to go on. They have nothing to investigate. We talk about FBI

00:04:10.120 investigation. An FBI investigation has to be investigating something. What are they going to

00:04:15.320 investigate? The only thing they can do is, is, is, is get the people who are allegedly involved or

00:04:23.260 allegedly present and ask them about it. Well, all of them have already been asked and they've already

00:04:28.600 put their answers down on paper and writing on the record under penalty of felony. And they've,

00:04:34.440 and they've all said that it didn't occur. So what else are they going to say? It's not as though

00:04:41.080 these people, um, have, have, have said that, yeah, the thing happened, but it didn't happen exactly

00:04:47.160 as Christine Ford said it happened. Well, if that was the case, then there would be something to talk

00:04:51.580 about. But what they're saying is this didn't happen. This event didn't happen. Or if it did,

00:04:57.780 I have no memory of it whatsoever. Christine Ford's best friend in high school saying, I didn't even

00:05:02.520 know this guy. Well, I wasn't at this thing. So what she's going to, what is she going to say to

00:05:09.600 the FBI? But is she going to say it again in Greek and Spanish? What does she need to do? Does she need

00:05:14.880 to communicate it via sign language or carrier pigeon or Morse code? Does she need to draw a picture of

00:05:20.920 it not happening? Does she need to sing it like an opera? I mean, what else can she do? What, what else can 0.98

00:05:27.000 any of them do? Ford says that a certain party happened 35 years ago and a certain thing happened

00:05:34.720 at that party? Everyone else concerned, everyone else concerned says that no such party happened.

00:05:42.660 Okay. And the only person who claims the party happened can't tell you when or where it happened.

00:05:49.440 So how can you investigate that? It's, it's like if I, it's like if I called up the FBI and I said,

00:05:56.540 hey, FBI, I need you to investigate a terrorist threat. Okay. I need you to investigate. And they

00:06:02.720 said, okay, who made the threat? I don't know. When was the threat made? I don't know. Well, what,

00:06:10.960 what was the threat exactly? I don't know. Where was the threat made? I don't know. What, what was the

00:06:17.660 threat against? What are the, what are the, what's the terrorist going to attack? I don't know. Well,

00:06:21.160 what, I don't know. I don't, I don't know. It's just, there was a threat. Okay. I mean,

00:06:25.140 there was a threat. I remember the threat and I remember how I feel when I heard the threat. I was

00:06:29.720 very scared. Uh, so, so, so please investigate. No, the FBI wouldn't investigate that because

00:06:36.820 there's nothing to investigate. That's not even, there's nothing for them to go on. Um,

00:06:43.060 for me to say that a terrorist threat was made by someone somewhere at some point is not enough.

00:06:53.180 And by the way, in that analogy, at least a terrorist threat is the kind of thing that the

00:06:58.380 FBI might investigate. On the other hand, groping allegations between high schoolers 35 years ago in

00:07:04.880 the early eighties is not the kind of thing that a federal law enforcement agency investigates because

00:07:12.060 it's not a federal crime. Um, so the investigation will accomplish nothing of substance, lead nowhere.

00:07:23.780 So why are the Democrats so intent on it? Well, there, there are three reasons why they're intent

00:07:28.040 on it. Okay. And again, it's got nothing to do with the truth. Number one, they want to delay

00:07:32.400 Kavanaugh's confirmation so that they have more time to dig up dirt about him. Number two, they want to

00:07:37.720 delay Kavanaugh's confirmation. So they have more time to put pressure on, um, the cowardly squishy

00:07:43.500 Republicans like, uh, Jeff Flake and Murkowski and Collins. And number three, they hope, although

00:07:50.380 the FBI, FBI said they're not going to do this, but what they're hoping is that the FBI will follow

00:07:54.960 irrelevant trails into unconnected, but embarrassing matters, thus further destroying Kavanaugh's

00:08:01.500 reputation. So their hope, they know that the, that the FBI is not going to come up with

00:08:05.480 evidence, um, about this allegation. They know that. Okay. That's what you need to say. Everybody

00:08:13.880 who knows anything, uh, and no matter where they stand on whether or not this investigation should

00:08:19.760 happen, they all know every rational person knows that the FBI will not find out anything

00:08:25.260 about this actual thing itself. What they're hoping though, is that they'll find other information

00:08:31.320 that's got nothing to do with sexual assault perhaps, but will still be embarrassing for Brett

00:08:36.200 Kavanaugh. And it goes without saying, as I said already, um, Democrats will demand another delay

00:08:44.580 after this concludes. They'll call the investigation unfair, no matter how it's conducted, no matter how

00:08:52.280 it concludes, uh, short of the FBI coming out and saying, yes, Brett Kavanaugh's a serial rapist and

00:08:58.200 he's going to prison. Okay. Short of that, they're going to be unhappy. Um, they're not going to be

00:09:03.540 happy with a week. They wouldn't be happy with two weeks. They're not happy with anything. Okay. So,

00:09:07.860 so we understand this. So I say it again, no matter what, no matter what, they will not be swayed,

00:09:16.000 no matter what. The people who are against Kavanaugh will remain against him, no matter what.

00:09:23.380 Christine Ford could retract her allegation and it wouldn't sway them. It really wouldn't.

00:09:33.980 Okay. Um, one other thing, uh, one other thing I want to mention here, somewhat connected.

00:09:45.420 You're going to hear a lot this week and we've already heard quite a bit, uh, in the last few

00:09:52.960 days, but you're going to hear even more about, um, Brett Kavanaugh supposedly lying under oath.

00:10:00.980 Okay. In front of the Senate. Uh, I know that the, the, the liberal liberals are hoping that this is

00:10:08.120 proven by the FBI investigation, but it can't be, it won't be either way. We'll get to that in a minute.

00:10:12.400 But, but the claim is what, what, what, what we're hearing. And I think we're going to hear more

00:10:16.100 about this is the, this is the theme that's going to be hammered on quite a bit is that, um,

00:10:19.900 is that we know that Kavanaugh did lie at least a couple of times about a couple of seemingly silly

00:10:26.560 things, but he lied. That's the claim. Um, because one, he was, um, he was asked about the devil's

00:10:34.980 triangle, which was something that he wrote in his yearbook about devil's triangle. He was asked,

00:10:39.280 what does that refer to? He said it was a drinking game. Uh, two, he was asked about

00:10:44.320 boofing. Okay. Again, that was in his yearbook. And he said that it's a flatulence, right?

00:10:51.920 The problem is that at least today, those terms, um, don't mean those things. Okay. It's not what

00:10:59.740 those terms mean today. Devil's triangle is a sex act and boofing is, uh, where you consume alcohol,

00:11:07.960 uh, through your rectum. Okay. Don't try it at home kids or at work, actually don't, don't try it

00:11:16.380 anywhere in general. Um, so especially at work, honestly, I mean, you really just shouldn't,

00:11:22.100 shouldn't try it. So we're told that, that he lied under oath. And, um, so even if he didn't

00:11:28.340 assault anyone, he should be disqualified just on that basis alone. That's, that's the argument.

00:11:35.600 So should he be, should, is he, is he now disqualified anyway, because of the things that

00:11:41.840 he said, um, in front of the Senate? I say no for three reasons. Okay. Number one, these are slang

00:11:50.800 words and terms, and it's possible that they meant something else, uh, back then. I mean, slang

00:11:58.220 changes over time. It's, it's possible that his group of friends had developed a different meaning

00:12:04.580 for those terms or that the terms have just developed. I mean, it's possible that devil's

00:12:08.780 triangle was a drinking game back then. And then later became associated with a sex act. I mean,

00:12:14.640 who knows, um, you know, and whether or not that was a commonly used expression, the fact is,

00:12:21.620 I mean, my friends and I, when I was, when I was a kid, when I was, when I was a teenager,

00:12:25.060 we had all kinds of slang words and terms and phrases. Uh, we had practically our own language.

00:12:30.120 And, uh, and, uh, I think that's pretty common, especially among guys. So, you know, you got to

00:12:35.780 keep that in mind. Number two, even if those terms really don't, and didn't even back then mean

00:12:44.020 what Kavanaugh said, you still can't prove he lied. You could never prove that because it could

00:12:50.280 be that he just forgot. He could have misremembered. Christine Ford forgot a lot of things. Okay. She

00:12:57.680 forgot many, many important details. Um, but she still felt okay coming out with these allegations

00:13:03.620 against, against someone, even though she had no, you know, she, she, she didn't know even the basic

00:13:08.780 details about when and where it happened. So she forgot that. I think Kavanaugh is entitled to forget

00:13:15.000 like what's dumb slang terms meant 35 years ago. So regardless, worst case, you would just say,

00:13:24.160 well, maybe he, he, he forgot. Um, number three. All right. Let's say for the sake of discussion

00:13:33.720 that Kavanaugh did remember that Kavanaugh did remember what those terms meant and they didn't

00:13:39.880 mean what he said. And so he did lie. Let's just say, okay, again, that can never be proven.

00:13:46.300 We can never know that it was a lie. Um, uh, so, so it's kind of irrelevant anyway, because we can't

00:13:51.840 know, but let's just say for now that it was a lie. Okay. Let's just follow that thread. It was a lie

00:14:00.060 under oath for the sake of discussion, a lie in front of a senatorial committee under oath.

00:14:06.420 Would that disqualify him? And I would still say, even then, no. And I know we can all say,

00:14:13.900 well, it was a lie under oath. It was perjury. Oh my goodness. It doesn't matter what it was about.

00:14:21.340 It's a lie under oath. That's it. Really? It does. Are you sure about, are you sure that it

00:14:28.500 really doesn't matter what it was about? Are you sure? I know it sounds very noble for you to say

00:14:34.440 that. And you sound very honest. You say, well, the words, I would never lie under oath about

00:14:38.520 anything. I mean, if anyone who would do that, they're a pathological liar. Terrible. Sounds

00:14:43.320 very noble of you. I don't believe you though. That's the thing. I don't believe you. Um, or I

00:14:47.720 don't think that you've thought this all the way through. Now it is, look, it's wrong to lie. Uh,

00:14:52.040 it's, it's wrong to lie under oath. It's wrong to lie, uh, in any situation. It's, it's, it's wrong

00:14:58.360 to lie, um, on a boat with a goat in a house with a mouse, you know, anywhere. Um, and if he did lie

00:15:06.800 about those things, then he, he, he should repent of it before God. But I am not comfortable setting a

00:15:14.160 precedent where a Supreme court nominee can be disqualified by that kind of thing. What I mean is

00:15:21.760 these were humiliating, irrelevant, deeply personal questions that were asked in bad faith

00:15:29.320 in order to paint him as a pervert, a drunk and a rapist. Okay. So if he lied, if then he lied out

00:15:39.520 of humiliation, embarrassment, and probably a certain contempt for the questions themselves

00:15:45.540 and the people who were asking them and probably a certain feeling that, well, these people don't have

00:15:50.680 any right to this information in the first place. Um, does that make it okay? Morally, objectively?

00:15:57.040 No. Does it make it disqualifying? Well, think very long and hard, um, before you call it disqualifying,

00:16:04.420 just, just, just think about it. Because if that's disqualifying, then guess what? This is the game

00:16:11.120 from here on out. Are you prepared for that? You're very noble and honest position. This is where it brings

00:16:17.880 us. Are you prepared for that? It means that from here on out, Democrats will try to disqualify

00:16:23.980 every Supreme court nominee by traipsing them in front of the Senate and asking them the most personal,

00:16:29.780 embarrassing, irrelevant, bad faith questions possible. And if they can back the person into

00:16:35.420 a corner where they skate the truth out of sheer humiliation, then they're disqualified.

00:16:41.020 And so suddenly the litmus test for the highest court in the land becomes a person's ability to

00:16:48.480 endorse shame and mockery from the vultures in the Democrat party. But why should that be the litmus

00:16:53.680 test? Why is that all this? I know you might say, well, no, the litmus test is honesty. Well, look,

00:16:58.820 we already know that nobody is a hundred percent honest. Everyone tells lies, even Supreme court

00:17:02.920 justices. Everybody does sometimes. Okay. It's bad. Everyone does it. Right. Um,

00:17:07.280 so it's not as though we're under any illusion that we're going to find someone who's a hundred

00:17:13.000 percent totally honest all the time. What we want to find out about, apparently, if this becomes a

00:17:18.860 litmus test, it's, will they be 100% honest in that situation with the most personal, irrelevant,

00:17:26.980 embarrassing details asked by people in bad faith for the purpose of painting them as something that

00:17:33.380 they are not? Will they be totally honest in that situation? And I say, why should that be the

00:17:38.180 litmus test for the Supreme court? Because it's got nothing to do with what the Supreme court does.

00:17:43.460 Nothing at all. I mean, this whole circus act has nothing to do with the Supreme court.

00:17:49.320 They're going to sit down and they're going to decide legal opinion. They're going to look at cases

00:17:53.020 and apply it to the constitution. And so if we've got someone doing that, who, who, you know,

00:17:58.940 draws a certain line and says, look, I'm just not going to, you know, I'm not going to tell you this

00:18:04.380 kind of information about, you know, my personal life. Well, what does that have to do? Who cares?

00:18:08.240 What does that have to do with the, with whether or not they can assess the constitutionality of,

00:18:13.680 of a situation? So, um, again, let, I mean, let's just, let's just, let's just follow this thread.

00:18:21.960 Okay. Uh, so, so what if the next nominee, um, you know, you've got the next nominee up there and

00:18:30.160 they're asked under, they're under oath. Right. Uh, and, and so they say, uh, you know, they're asked,

00:18:34.980 um, uh, judge, we, we heard that you have a flatulence problem. Is that true? Judge, judge,

00:18:42.480 is it, is it true that you peed the bed until 12th grade? Ma'am, is it true that you lost your

00:18:47.380 virginity at the age of 14? Is that true? Is that true? It's, is, is it true that you lost

00:18:52.820 your virginity at the age of 14, but you lied to your husband and you said you were a virgin when

00:18:55.460 you married him? Is that, is that true? Ma'am, did you suffer postpartum depression after your last

00:19:00.520 child? There are reports as severe postpartum depression. Uh, is that true? Ma'am, we need an

00:19:06.720 answer. You're under oath, ma'am. Sir, sir, there are reports that your wife caught you watching

00:19:10.400 internet pornography, uh, back in 2007. Is that, is that true, sir? You're under oath, sir. We need an answer to

00:19:15.900 that question. Ma'am, um, are these reports correct that you have irritable bowel syndrome and, uh,

00:19:20.820 you have to defecate five times a day? Ma'am, you are under oath. We, we need an answer. Ma'am,

00:19:26.040 the country deserves to know. Sir, is it true that you had a homosexual experience in college?

00:19:31.720 There, there are several reports of this, sir. We need, we're going to need an answer to that. Sir,

00:19:36.120 your homosexual experience, did it happen? Ma'am, is it true that you have a body odor problem? 0.84

00:19:42.180 Ma'am, is it, is it true that you once went three days without brushing your teeth? That's the reports that

00:19:45.480 we're hearing. Ma'am, you are under oath. I remind you again, answer the question and on and on and on.

00:19:51.600 Okay. Um, are we, are we prepared to say that only people, the only people qualified for the Supreme

00:20:02.100 Court are those who are willing to be interrogated with questions like those and who will answer them

00:20:08.300 honestly, even though they have absolutely no bearing on anything and they're only being asked

00:20:15.380 in order to paint a negative portrait of the nominee and to humiliate them? Are we prepared for that?

00:20:24.140 So all these people saying, well, perjury is perjury. All perjury is the same. Really? Is it?

00:20:28.460 I mean, is it honestly though? Is, is, is it all exactly the same?

00:20:33.280 Um, look, it's too bad if Kavanaugh lied about boofing. Okay. Under oath. Um, when he was asked

00:20:46.080 about it by people who are trying to paint him as a rapist, I think his better course would have been

00:20:50.720 just to refuse to answer those questions completely. Um, that would have been, you know, if it was a lie,

00:20:56.040 I mean, the better course would have been to not answer them both the more honest course,

00:21:00.440 but also just the more, I think just the more effective course is just to say, I'm not going

00:21:03.860 to answer those stupid, ridiculous questions and you should be ashamed and embarrassed for asking 0.85

00:21:07.880 me them. You vulture. It's what he should have said. But if backed into a corner, he said,

00:21:15.660 you know, flatulence, I mean, you know, it's like not the same thing, but kind of related. Um,

00:21:21.220 then, you know, that's, that's very naughty of him. That's a, he should apologize to God,

00:21:26.600 but disqualifying, come on. I mean, seriously, a guy who, who, who has by, by all accounts is a

00:21:35.520 very competent and honest judge in that situation. If he was not totally honest about boofing in front

00:21:43.380 of the Senate, he's disqualified. I really want you to think about that. If that's the position

00:21:48.040 that you're taking, I really want you to think if that, if that really makes sense to you. Okay.

00:21:53.640 Come on. I just, I'm not saying we become moral relativists or we become ends justify the means

00:22:05.220 kinds of people, but we got it. Like we can't, the Democrats and liberals are playing a game and we

00:22:11.540 have to stop so willingly going along with it. Right. I mean,

00:22:18.000 but we'll see what the FBI turns up. Maybe, maybe they will follow the, uh, boofing trail,
