Blasey-Ford's re-emergence might be suboptimal for Democrats (03-20-2024--Hour3)

[00:00:27] your support. So you know who's back? Christy Blaziford. Christine Blaziford, everybody.

[00:00:39] Remember her? CBF? Sorry, Dr. CBF? No, really? I gotta tell you this woman, it's not even

[00:00:51] really her. It was the institutional support that swarmed around her and buffered her, elevated

[00:01:07] her that I will tell you. And I said this at the time because it's been now six years, seven

[00:01:17] years, when she came out with her accusation against Brett Kavanaugh during the confirmation

[00:01:24] hearings. And this woman's the response to this woman's accusation radicalized me up until

[00:01:35] that point I thought, oh, you know people that are involved in these institutions, you know,

[00:01:41] whether they are in the courts or the legal community at large or some of you know, even

[00:01:48] these elected officials, their staffers, law enforcement, media, that was like that was

[00:01:57] the tipping point for me. That was the breaking point. And I had conversations with people.

[00:02:02] I remember one, so this was 2018 when I was meeting with a relative of mine. She's older

[00:02:15] than I am and her sister and that I was up in Asheville working in Asheville at the time

[00:02:20] and they came to town to see the drum circle, you know? And we start talking about this case

[00:02:27] because it's now and I did like I did just like, you know, people got mad at me when I was

[00:02:31] doing the the Murdoch trial. But how I did the Murdoch trials, how I did the hearings with Brett

[00:02:37] Kavanaugh every day we were doing it live or it was audio and stuff from the morning session

[00:02:43] that afternoon and whatever. So like every single day this stuff was going on like we were almost

[00:02:48] wall to wall with it. We went through all of the evidence, all the accusations, the details,

[00:02:56] the narratives, the reporting on it. And there is no doubt in my mind that this woman lied. I don't

[00:03:06] know what I don't know if she lied about being assaulted. I don't know if that actually did happen.

[00:03:11] But there is zero evidence at all that it was Brett Kavanaugh and the evidence actually is

[00:03:21] that it was not. And there's more evidence that she is an incredible accuser. She is not to be

[00:03:30] believed in her accusations against Brett Kavanaugh and there was so much evidence in his defense

[00:03:38] and against her that when I saw the swarming around her and this protective bubble that people

[00:03:45] erected around her why because it was about abortion. It was about the Supreme Court see, right?

[00:03:52] That's what it was all about. Let me go back to Molly Hemingway. She wrote a book called Justice

[00:04:03] on Trial and she wrote it with Kerry Severino. It was a bestselling book and it broke down all of

[00:04:12] the errors and the biases in the media coverage of Christine Blaziford. She claimed, so the reason why

[00:04:21] her name is now in the news again is because she wrote a book. She wrote a book and now she's

[00:04:29] hawk on a book and so the left is going to elevate her again and they're going to rally around her

[00:04:34] again. And so she first starts off with a couple of appearances with some softball interviewers who

[00:04:41] are ideologically on her side and so she starts with the view obviously, right? And so she's on

[00:04:49] the show today and she claims that she did not know that her televised hearing in 2018 was going

[00:04:58] to be televised. She said that. Did not know by the way she does not speak in that baby voice that

[00:05:08] she came and spoke that remember that that expectation that she adopted for her testimony. She no

[00:05:16] longer has it. I don't know if she worked on that in the last six years, you know was able to get

[00:05:20] past that baby voice thing that she did. I don't know but she claims now that she was not aware

[00:05:26] that the televised hearing was going to be televised. Molly Hemingway notes that in fact her lawyers

[00:05:33] spent a great deal of time negotiating the number and the location of the cameras that were

[00:05:40] going to be in that hearing. What does that mean? It means she either lied while on the view

[00:05:49] or if she's telling the truth that she did not know it was going to be televised, it means that

[00:05:54] her lawyers negotiated all of this stuff and never told her that. And that's like that's a disciplinary

[00:06:03] type of action, right? For a lawyer. Lawyers you're not allowed to put your clients into these

[00:06:10] types of situations without fully informing them like what are their options here she didn't have to do

[00:06:15] it the way she did it, right? But they chose to do it that way and what she's saying now is that

[00:06:20] her own lawyers kept that hidden from her while they negotiated it. This is what I mean. She is not

[00:06:26] credible person. Never was. What else? There's no evidence that she and Brett Kavanaugh ever met.

[00:06:37] None. Her friend, Leland Kaiser, no relation to Kaiser Sosa but Leland Kaiser says that she did not

[00:06:47] have any confidence. Her quote, any confidence in Blaziford's story. Her friend said she had no

[00:06:54] confidence in that story. And then Kaiser's friends tried to get her to change her story, to support

[00:07:03] Blaziford. All of the alleged witnesses that were at this party, this high school party of like

[00:07:11] six people that Blaziford claimed the assault happened at none of them remember her. They don't

[00:07:17] know they don't they don't remember her being there. They dispute that this ever happened. The

[00:07:22] people that were supposedly in the room, they all deny that this happened. Her father supported

[00:07:28] Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation. That's kind of weird. Don't you think so? If your daughter accused

[00:07:36] a guy of what Blaziford accused Kavanaugh of would you support his nomination and appointment to the

[00:07:45] US Supreme Court? I would think that'd be a disqualifying thing but her own father said no, I think he's

[00:07:50] at this. All right. Blaziford did not know the location of where it occurred. She did not know

[00:07:58] how she arrived. She did not know how she got home. She did not know the date. She did not know

[00:08:02] even what time of the week it was. But she does remember she had precisely and only a single beer

[00:08:09] and that's the extent of the details she remembers about the house, about the people, about it,

[00:08:13] really anything. But she remembers she had one beer, a single beer. Also Brett Kavanaugh being kind

[00:08:21] of a nerd apparently kept a calendar wrote down all sorts of notes all the time about stuff he was

[00:08:27] doing and scheduling and everything like that. And his calendars support his claims, his alibi, not hers.

[00:08:36] Oh, but he just wrote that at the time to cover his tracks. I don't know because remember the other

[00:08:40] woman, what was her name? Ramirez or something. And she came out and was accusing him of

[00:08:45] running like gang rapes at like some house in Joe Biden's neck of the woods. I don't know maybe

[00:08:52] Biden could tell us something maybe Hunter may have attended some of these. I don't know. Maybe he

[00:08:56] could like help us figure this out if it was because I think it was over at like what Rehoboth Beach,

[00:09:01] right? Yeah, so she's back in the news. And I'm not so sure this is actually a good look for

[00:09:10] Democrats right now. The hellian points out the one strand of hair that kept getting trapped inside

[00:09:16] of Christine Blasifords glasses drove me nuts. That and the up talking, the up talking. Everything is

[00:09:24] like this. And the tone always goes up. Yeah. Molly Hemingway continues on her list of what we know

[00:09:35] about Christine Blasiford, Blasiford and how we know that her story was concocted about Brett

[00:09:42] Kavanaugh. Now she may have had some sort of assault against her at some other point. But there

[00:09:50] was never any evidence that connected Brett Kavanaugh to her. So running through the list as I said,

[00:09:59] there's no evidence they even knew each other. Her friend, her best friend said it didn't happen,

[00:10:04] had no confidence in the story. Her own father didn't support the story. She didn't know the location,

[00:10:08] didn't know how she got there, didn't know how she left. Didn't know nobody else at the party knew her

[00:10:13] could confirm she was there. All of his contemporaneous calendars support Kavanaugh's side of the story.

[00:10:23] She changed the date of the incident by years from her initial stories.

[00:10:28] Character witnesses from the time all supported Brett Kavanaugh.

[00:10:35] Ford's first mention of Kavanaugh's name was in 2012, but that was after he became a national figure.

[00:10:42] False claims were made about her inability to fly. Remember that one?

[00:10:47] I can't fly anymore. I don't care to fly even though she was like all over the world,

[00:10:53] on Hawaii, snorkeling and going to all these islands in the middle of the ocean,

[00:10:59] would you have to fly too to get there? Then she flew to the hearing.

[00:11:04] She scrubbed her social media before she went public. She said she wanted to stay confidential,

[00:11:09] but her very first call on all of this was to the Washington Post. Her attorney admitted a motive

[00:11:15] of desiring an asterisk by Kavanaugh's name. That's where they wanted the history books to

[00:11:20] have a little star next to his name. He doesn't really belong there. She has benefited politically,

[00:11:27] financially and socially. There's nothing in Brett Kavanaugh's past that's even remotely similar

[00:11:34] to this claim at any point prior or since. Also, remember the one about the

[00:11:43] the separate doorway? Remember that one? Yeah, she claimed that she had to have

[00:11:51] at least two front doors put on her house. Remember that one? Yeah, because

[00:11:56] yeah, so this way if she was going to be attacked, she had another door out of the room. That was

[00:12:00] the claim. Although the contractor was like, yeah, no, that's to a separate there was like a

[00:12:05] little rental unit on the side went to a separate unit. Yeah, everything that this woman said

[00:12:13] was crap. In fact, the FBI did an investigation at the demands or at the demand by the

[00:12:20] the Democrats and their conclusion was, quote, there's no corroboration of the allegations made by

[00:12:25] Dr. Ford or the other one Deborah Ramirez. And her story was even crazier. So

[00:12:36] yeah, what a wonderful news cycle. But I don't think it's a good move for the Democrats

[00:12:40] because if it radicalized me, I suspect there are going to be a lot of people that are not going

[00:12:44] to be thrilled to see this story making the rounds again. All right, do the current world

[00:12:49] events have you wondering whether we are teetering on the edge of catastrophe? Are you concerned?

[00:12:54] It's going to reach our shores. Okay, so what are you doing about your concerns? Let me help.

[00:13:39] Christine Blasey Ford accused a father of sexual assault in the highest profile venue imaginable.

[00:13:45] Amid Brett Kavanaugh's denials, she then accused him of lying about sexual assault.

[00:13:51] Democrats used Blasey Ford in the service of a vicious political smear campaign.

[00:13:56] The accomplice media took up their cause and joined in dispensing with traditional standards

[00:14:02] of journalistic rigor to unfairly malign Kavanaugh's character. They then ignored an assassination

[00:14:09] attempt on Brett Kavanaugh to the point where even Bill Maher took notice.

[00:14:14] The media's failure was so egregious that some of the justice's opponents reluctantly acknowledged

[00:14:20] that at the time, Ronald McDaniel even told the federalist dot com a year after Kavanaugh's

[00:14:27] confirmation that quote, Kavanaugh brought people back to the Republican party.

[00:14:32] She said it's the first time in my time as chair where I had people call and say I'm going to join

[00:14:37] you today and I haven't been taken your calls for two years but I'm going to write you a check right

[00:14:41] now. They felt like it was such an overreach that it was character assassination that this

[00:14:46] was a good honest decent guy who was being just railroaded. Senator Claire McCaskill, Democrat,

[00:14:54] she blamed partially at least the loss of her sentencing on quote,

[00:14:59] the very real perception that this was an 11th hour attempt to gut a guy.

[00:15:06] Journalists have had many opportunities to course correct since missing Donald Trump's rise

[00:15:11] but have basically continued sprinting in the opposite direction. Just last year,

[00:15:16] trust in media dipped back to a record low and you'll hardly get a better illustration of why

[00:15:23] then Christine Blaziford's book tour. That's a piece by Emily Chishinsky at the federalist dot com.

[00:15:34] So why write this book? Why if Christine Blaziford were

[00:15:42] shamed by her lies? Were she not insulated from the ramifications of her lies, right? She would never

[00:15:51] even think about writing a book. I mean, I'd like to believe this and maybe I still live in

[00:15:55] a pre-2010 world or something but I couldn't imagine doing it if I had been outed as a liar but

[00:16:02] the fact is people still believe her. They believe that this happened. Their people

[00:16:08] still do probably roughly, I don't know what a third to 45% 35, 45% of the American public basically

[00:16:15] all leftists. They still believe her and they believe Brett Kavanaugh. We got a rapist on the

[00:16:21] Supreme Court even though there was zero evidence of any of that. So do they think that this helps?

[00:16:31] So let's track it down. Let's run it down. You think it helps. Why would you think it helps?

[00:16:35] Is it because it's shoring up a base, this left wing base that hasn't gotten enough of their

[00:16:41] anti-Kavanaugh fill or something? Right? That's not most voters. Well, that then tells me that

[00:16:52] you're not actually confident that you've got a base that's secure. If you're going around

[00:16:58] promoting this, then it tells me that you're not so confident that this base is secure.

[00:17:06] Or do you think that this wins you new converts? Do you think there are people that don't remember

[00:17:11] this from six years ago? Maybe they're young people. They don't know all the details. Right?

[00:17:15] Maybe there were 12 at the time and now they're 18 or 19. So you think you're going to woo them now.

[00:17:20] Maybe that's possible. I mean, that could be the case. But they usually vote Democrat anyway.

[00:17:26] As young people, I don't think this helps Democrats. I really don't. And I almost get the sense that

[00:17:36] this is either, or maybe it's actually both bubble thinking. Right? They're in the bubble and

[00:17:42] they think that yeah, this is awesome. And they're so blinded that they don't know

[00:17:49] that this how this has impacted people outside of their bubble.

[00:17:58] So either they're blinded by it or they don't care. I don't know. I'm curious to watch because you

[00:18:05] make in her first appearance on the view, that's one thing. Now is she going to show up on all of

[00:18:11] the Sunday morning talk shows? Is she going to be on all of the CNN shows? Is she going to make

[00:18:17] all the rounds? And if she does and you've got these political publications and networks that are

[00:18:25] embracing her and elevating her and amplifying this message, that's going to tell me that they

[00:18:30] think that there's some benefit to doing so. And I'm not so sure they are correct.

[00:18:37] So please proceed. All right, well just as I predicted, Draft King Sportsbook is now live in

[00:19:51] So the I mentioned and where was I? Oh, I needed to play this audio clip. Let me do this first though.

[00:19:57] All of the newfound or you got blaziford. Christine Blaziford coming back on the scene and people

[00:20:05] are, you know, newfound interest renewed interest in her story. I am curious because this story

[00:20:10] President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden's inner circle and former colleagues are rallying to

[00:20:15] the defense of a top eight accused of sexual harassment. In statements provided the Fox News digital

[00:20:22] Anthony Bernal and assistant to the president and top aid to the First Lady have alleged yeah nearly a

[00:20:32] dozen current and former colleagues have alleged he is a long running history of bullying and verbal sexual

[00:20:38] harassment. Is this different than than Brett Kavanaugh or no? Does it mean or how about this?

[00:20:47] Yes. Laws through the accused is New York City mayor Eric Adams of sexually assaulting a woman in a vacant lot in 1993.

[00:20:55] She's this woman is using the same law that they opened up in order to get Trump.

[00:21:01] E. Jean Carroll and so now Eric Adams is being targeted in a similar case.

[00:21:09] Yeah, he may not get defended by the left though because he has been breaking the narrative on

[00:21:15] the immigration stuff. All right, first hour of the program we went over the we were carrying some

[00:21:21] of the stuff from the impeachment hearing on Capitol Hill questioning has gone on throughout the day.

[00:21:30] I was not I did not see this live as it happened but here is the exchange that occurred between

[00:21:35] Alexandria Acazio Cortez and Tony Bubbalinski who has a very fun name to pronounce

[00:21:43] and she so she's not a lawyer. I know that's going to come as a shock. I'm not sure if bartending

[00:21:53] school taught her this way of interrogating people or not but you generally don't ask a question if

[00:21:57] you don't know the answer to it and she's about to find out. Mr. Bubbalinski, I heard your opening

[00:22:04] statement. It's submitted to the record part of our proceedings. I have a quick question simple.

[00:22:11] Yeah. Is it your testimony today that you personally witnessed President Joe Biden commit a crime?

[00:22:24] I believe the fact that he was sitting with me while I was putting together

[00:22:28] about you. Did you witness the president commit a crime? Is it your testimony today? Yes.

[00:22:34] And what crime do you have you witnessed? How much time do I have to go through it? It is simple,

[00:22:39] you name the crime. Did you watch him steal something? Corruption statutes, Rico and conspiracy. What is it?

[00:22:47] What is what is the crime? You asked me to answer the question. I answered the question. Rico,

[00:22:56] you're obviously not familiar with. Corruption is not a crime. Excuse me sir. Rico is not a crime.

[00:23:04] It is a category. What is the category of crimes that you're then charges? You have charges?

[00:23:10] Long 100. You have charges. Okay, so the big winner in this exchange, Donald Trump and all those

[00:23:19] people in Fulton County who have been charged under Rico's statues. They're like, oh wait,

[00:23:25] wait a minute. Rico's not a crime anymore. Wait a minute, I'm going to have a second now. It is

[00:23:31] possible that AOC may think that he was referring to the island of Puerto Rico and maybe she was

[00:23:39] saying no human is illegal. No, Rico is illegal or maybe like cousin Rico or Uncle Rico.

[00:23:48] Maybe I don't know. I'm trying to figure out why all of a sudden she doesn't think Rico is a crime

[00:23:53] that people are charged under and he's he's listening. Farrah, he's listening conspiracy.

[00:23:59] Sir, please name the exact statute on Rico. Yes. Well, it's funny in this committee room,

[00:24:05] everyone's not here. There's over eight. Sir, I reclaim my time. Four years. They're

[00:24:08] with the last time. I reclaim my time. You guys can find the same thing. Sir, I reclaim my time.

[00:24:12] Clearly what we are seeing here today. Okay. Yeah. It is a continuation of the 15-month saga

[00:24:21] of the Republican majority lost in the desert. What? Impeachment 101. The majority party or whomever

[00:24:31] is raising impeachment must accuse the president of a high crime, a specific high crime or misdemeanor.

[00:24:40] I would like to submit to the record H. Res 918 the House resolution to open this impeachment inquiry.

[00:24:47] Inquiry without objection to order. This resolution does not outline a high crime or misdemeanor.

[00:24:54] Alrighty, so is that possible? I'm just spitballing here. Is it possible though that you start with an inquiry

[00:25:05] and then you develop the evidence and then when you have the evidence you then present the evidence

[00:25:11] and launch the impeachment charges. Is that? Do I have that? Is that heart or sorry is that the

[00:25:18] horse or is that cart because I'm thinking it's you know, the horse is in front of the cart

[00:25:23] so the horse is the inquiry and then you get you load up the cart with all the charges and it's

[00:25:27] like okay, we're going to drop off the charges to the Senate. That's how that's supposed to go. I

[00:25:31] thought and it's not up to Bob Olinsky to identify the statute that Joe Biden violated.

[00:25:38] Right? Oh, and by the way, Byron Donald's congressman from Florida. He walked through in about

[00:25:45] three minutes he walked through the key pieces of evidence which are the bank records and the

[00:25:52] wire transfers of money between China Hunter Biden Joe Biden Jim Biden ran through them all put

[00:26:00] them all into the record. That's what they're good. That's what they're building their case on

[00:26:03] the bank records as they should, as they should and then charge them and take it to a trial.

[00:26:11] All right that'll do it for this episode. Thank you so much for listening. I could not do the show
