Christine Ford testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee on a party she attended 35 or 36 years ago. She claims that Brett Kavanaugh groped her and tried to rape her in a room with at least one other man. Does she have a case against him? Lindsey Graham becomes the GOP's most courageous senator, and I answer a mailbag question.
00:00:00.000Christine Ford testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee on a party that she attended 35 or 36 years ago with maybe five or maybe six or maybe seven people where Brett Kavanaugh attempted to grope her or maybe rape her or maybe murder her in a room with one other boy or maybe three other boys or well we'll analyze Dr. Ford's changing story and her uncredible testimony.
00:00:30.440Then, miracle of miracles, Lindsey Graham becomes the GOP's most courageous senator and finally I will go through the mailbag that I didn't get to yesterday. I'm Michael Knowles and this is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:00:41.840What a boof of a testimony yesterday. What a boof of a hearing. What a boof of a process for the United States Senate for confirming judges.
00:01:00.440It was a mockery. It was disgraceful. Every Democrat should be taken out back and smacked around a little bit for what they did to our republic and what they did to our constitutional order yesterday. It was disgusting.
00:01:12.000We learned a lot from it though. We learned that Ford is not believable. She's not believable. I'm not saying she gave horrible testimony. I'm not saying that, you know, she totally broke down.
00:01:23.600Her testimony was fine. It probably, the people who want to believe what she says is true probably believe it still and the people who are skeptical saw all of the inconsistencies and contradictions in her testimony.
00:01:35.160They saw all of the times that her lawyer leaned in and said, don't answer that. No, don't answer about how Dianne Feinstein referred lawyers to you.
00:01:41.780Oh, don't answer about the advice you're getting from political operatives. Oh, don't answer about why you didn't do basic things.
00:01:46.900She also apparently misrepresented what her polygraph was. We saw contradictions between her testimony on that polygraph and the letter she wrote to Dianne Feinstein.
00:01:56.000It just broke down. It just wasn't believable. And Kavanaugh was believable. And it's as simple as that.
00:02:01.640And anybody telling you, oh, you know, they're, but no, who knows? And this and that. No, her testimony was not believable. His was.
00:02:10.020I actually, I have this relative. I won't say which relative of mine this is because I don't want to ruin her career and her life by just association with me.
00:02:18.160But she texted me yesterday and she said, I, she is left of Lenin. I mean, she is, she is as far left as anybody that I know.
00:02:27.180Certainly anybody in my family. She texted me and said, I think Kavanaugh is being falsely accused.
00:02:33.220And I said, well, if you're saying it, then it's certainly true. And that's the impression you get. His testimony was very powerful.
00:02:39.260It was hard to watch. It was hard to watch because it was pretty emotional. He couldn't keep the emotion back.
00:02:44.720He was very credible. And she, I don't know if she's a crazy person or if she's misremembering something.
00:02:49.420She's clearly a damaged individual just from, not only from her behavior, but the various, the various therapies that we're talking about that she, where all of this came from, apparently.
00:03:00.200So we'll talk about all of that because her behavior was pretty weird.
00:03:05.060I should note, I had a great time last night. I mean, you might notice I'm not in the studio right now. I'm still in Pittsburgh.
00:03:10.420We had a great time at Franciscan University of Steubenville. The students were incredible, super, super smart.
00:03:16.580I really shouldn't recommend this university to you because then a bunch of, like, the word is going to get out.
00:03:22.800A bunch of lefties are going to go in. You know, they're going to ruin the whole place.
00:03:25.480But it was incredible. I was really, really impressed with it. Very serious kids, super smart, well-educated.
00:03:31.300So it was great, great to hang out with them. We talked about the simple joys of being right.
00:03:34.880We're going to have more speeches coming up on my Covfefe on campus tour with YAF.
00:03:38.540We're going to be going on October 24th and 25th to Grand Canyon University.
00:03:43.080And I think we're going to Michigan after that, though I could be mistaking that.
00:03:46.640But they're coming up, so if you want me to come to your school, get your request in through YAF because we're filling up fast.
00:03:52.720So if you didn't watch the testimony yesterday, if you didn't watch the hearings, lucky you.
00:03:58.420Oh, man. This was really, I mean, during my show, I was watching the testimony.
00:04:02.860While I was supposed to be writing my speech, I was watching the testimony.
00:04:05.500It was all drama. You want to be entertained? You got entertained. It was really hard to watch.
00:04:08.940If you missed it, you can watch about 10 seconds of the testimony.
00:04:12.760You'll understand what the whole thing was.
00:04:14.480Here is Brett Kavanaugh, federal judge, D.C. Circuit judge, Supreme Court nominee,
00:04:20.600being grilled on the meaning of the word boof from his 1982 high school yearbook.
00:04:28.180Have you, I don't know if it's boofed or boofed, how do you pronounce that?
00:04:33.900That refers to flatulence. We were 16.
00:04:36.440That was from Sheldon Whitehouse. Sheldon Whitehouse, a pure hack, a pure partisan.
00:04:47.420They all have been in this. I sort of give Kamala Harris and Cory Booker a little bit of leeway
00:04:53.280because they're running for president, and it's still cheap and shallow, but at least there's a purpose to it.
00:04:58.100But Dick Blumenthal, Dick Durbin, Sheldon Whitehouse, they're behaving like monsters.
00:05:05.500I mean, they're behaving like hysterical little monsters. It's awful. It makes a mockery of our process.
00:05:10.280And so yesterday, after all of these hearings, Sheldon Whitehouse leans in and goes,
00:05:14.140I want to ask you more about your high school yearbook from 1982.
00:05:18.280And Kavanaugh basically says, yeah, go right ahead.
00:05:21.240Okay, United States Senate, Judiciary Committee, Supreme Court nominee.
