    Ep. 105 - Democrats Conjure Up Last Minute Allegations Against Brett Kavanaugh

    enSeptember 17, 2018

    Podcast Summary

    • Democrats' timing of Kavanaugh allegation raises questionsThe timing and lack of clear details of the allegation against Brett Kavanaugh have fueled speculation about the Democrats' motives.

      The timing of the allegation against Brett Kavanaugh, which dates back to when he was 17, coming forward just before his confirmation hearing, raises questions about the Democrats' motives. The allegation itself, made by Christine Ford, describes an incident at a house party where Kavanaugh allegedly tried to remove her clothes while they were both drunk. Ford claimed she was able to escape and passed a polygraph test in 2012 regarding the incident. However, it's important to note that polygraph tests are not infallible and are considered unreliable by some experts. Additionally, Ford's memory of the details of the incident, such as the location and how she got there, is unclear. The timing and lack of clear details of the allegation have fueled speculation about the Democrats' motivations for bringing it up at this time.

    • The validity and reliability of lie detector tests are questionableDespite the use of lie detector tests in high-profile cases, their results are unreliable due to various factors and inconsistencies in accounts can raise concerns about credibility.

      The validity and reliability of lie detector tests are questionable, as they can produce false results based on various factors including stress, anxiety, and even honesty. The discussion also highlighted the significance of a new piece of information regarding Christine Ford's allegation, which she shared in 2012, but the inconsistencies in her story, such as the changing number of alleged attackers, raise concerns about the unreliability of her account. Furthermore, it was emphasized that the Democrats involved in handling this allegation are being criticized for their apparent cynical use of the situation for their political benefit, regardless of the credibility of the allegation itself. Overall, the discussion underscores the complexity and uncertainty surrounding this issue, and the importance of carefully considering all available information before reaching conclusions.

    • Uncertainty and ambiguity surround allegations against Brett KavanaughDespite serious allegations against Brett Kavanaugh, lack of clear evidence and unclear details make it challenging to definitively label either party as a liar.

      The allegations against Brett Kavanaugh regarding an incident from his high school days are surrounded by a significant amount of uncertainty and ambiguity. While Christine Blasey Ford has shared her account of the incident, there is no clear-cut evidence to support her claims, as there are no corroborating eyewitnesses and key details, such as the date, location, and number of people involved, remain unclear. Furthermore, even if Kavanaugh did lie about the incident, the fact that it allegedly occurred over 35 years ago, combined with the hazy nature of Ford's recollection, makes it a complex issue. It's important to note that the allegations themselves are serious, and if proven true, could be disqualifying for a Supreme Court nominee. However, without definitive evidence and clear-cut details, it's challenging to definitively label either party as a liar. The situation underscores the challenges of dealing with allegations from the distant past, where memories can fade and details become unclear.

    • Assessing Allegations Against Judge KavanaughThe assessment of allegations against Judge Kavanaugh raises questions about the importance of considering past actions, the role of alcohol, and the potential implications of assuming truth or falsehood. Careful examination of all available information is crucial.

      The details of allegations made against Judge Kavanaugh are crucial, yet doubtful due to the passage of time and potential for misremembering or exaggeration. The discussion also raises the question of whether a man should be denied a position based on a past, regrettable action committed while under the influence of alcohol as a teenager, especially if there is no evidence of a pattern of similar behavior or other accusers. The speaker emphasizes the importance of considering all possibilities and the potential implications of assuming the allegations are true or false. Additionally, the speaker questions whether Dr. Ford herself was sober during the alleged incident, which could impact her memory of the events. Overall, the conversation highlights the complexity and nuance of assessing such allegations and the need for careful consideration and examination of all available information.

    • Considering the Context and Growth of IndividualsPeople have the capacity to change and transform into decent, honest adults despite their past vicious, selfish, and dishonest behaviors during their teenage years. It's important to consider the context and growth of individuals before judging them based on their past mistakes.

      It's important to consider the context and growth of individuals, especially when evaluating their actions from their teenage years. The speaker acknowledges that teenagers can be vicious, selfish, and dishonest, but also emphasizes that people have the capacity to change and transform into decent, honest adults. The speaker uses the example of a bully from teenage years and questions whether it's fair to hold that person accountable decades later for their past actions. The speaker also emphasizes that not all bad behavior as a teenager is equal and that the transition from teenagehood to adulthood is a time of significant change for most people. The speaker concludes by stating that it's not an excuse for bad behavior, but rather a call to consider the context and growth of individuals before judging them based on their past mistakes.

    • Consider age and maturity when evaluating past actionsWhen evaluating someone's past actions, it's crucial to consider their age and maturity level during those events to avoid setting a dangerous precedent for unsubstantiated claims.

      People's character and personality can solidify at a certain point in their lives, and past actions may not necessarily define who they are now. However, it is rare for someone to undergo a significant transformation later in life if their character was set early on. Therefore, when evaluating someone's actions from their past, it is essential to consider the age and maturity level they were at during those events. Applying this to the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, it is unlikely that his nomination should be revoked based on allegations from his youth, as it could set a dangerous precedent for unsubstantiated claims to be used to take opportunities away from individuals.

    • Setting a precedent for confirmations based on old allegationsThe confirmation of Judge Kavanaugh raises questions about the fairness of using old, unsubstantiated allegations to deny opportunities versus holding individuals accountable for their actions. The outcome will establish a precedent for future confirmations and could impact society's approach to accountability and fairness.

      The ongoing debate surrounding the confirmation of Judge Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court raises questions about the fairness of bringing up old allegations from a person's past that may not have been substantiated at the time. Those in favor of his confirmation argue that it sets a good precedent that such allegations from decades ago should not be used to deny opportunities. Conversely, those against his confirmation believe that it's important to hold individuals accountable for their actions, regardless of when they occurred. Ultimately, the decision rests on the interpretation of what constitutes a fair and just precedent. If the confirmation goes through, it would establish that unsubstantiated allegations from a person's distant past should not be used to deny opportunities. However, if the allegations are serious and substantiated, they should be taken into consideration. The outcome of this situation will set an important precedent for future confirmations and could have significant implications for our society's approach to accountability and fairness.

    Ep. 1396 - A System Run By Illiterate Imbeciles

    Today on the Matt Walsh Show, a judge in Atlanta was just arrested and removed from the bench after getting into a fight at a nightclub and assaulting a police officer. Again: this woman works as a judge, not a waitress at Waffle House. But, she is just a symptom of a much larger problem. We'll discuss. Also, I'll offer my preview of tonight's presidential debate. Climate protesters attempt a very unique and hilarious method of stopping traffic. And, a guy on Twitter is roundly mocked and ridiculed after offering some unorthodox life advice to young men. As usual, the peanut gallery is wrong.

    Ep. 1395 - A Flock Of Drag Queens Descend On Capitol Hill

    Today on the Matt Walsh Show, yesterday was "Drag Lobby Day" on Capitol Hill as several drag queens descended on our nation's capital to lobby for a host of awful legislation. The whole event was a flop, though, which may tell us something. Also, the Biden Administration promotes another cross-dressing man. The city of Los Angeles cracks down on people who are committing the crime of trying to make their communities safe and livable. And, the first annual "FatCon," a convention for fat people, just happened. I'll have the highlights, in case you were under the weight limit and couldn't attend.

    Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the Supreme Court will officially hear a challenge to Tennessee's ban on "gender affirming care" for minors. This will be a huge case that could deliver a devastating blow to the trans agenda. Also, CNN kicks a Trump spokesperson off the air for questioning CNN's objectivity ahead of the presidential debate on Thursday. Taylor Swift makes a brave stand against the patriarchy at her most recent concert. And, British academics are researching milk to discover its ties to racism and colonialism.

    Ep. 1393 - Christian Conservatives Proven Right Once Again As Abstinence 'Trend' Gains Popularity

    Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the media has discovered a hot new trend. It's called abstinence. For years the Left mocked Christian conservatives for promoting abstinence. Now, they're coming around, but for all the wrong reasons. Also, Jamaal Bowman and AOC team up for the cringiest campaign rally of all time. Donald Trump made two campaign promises over the weekend: one very good and one very bad. And, the wife of an NFL quarterback says that she convinced her now-husband to date her by hooking up with his backup. Why would any wife share a story like that?

    Ep. 1392 - Disney’s Not So Secret Anti-White Agenda

    Today on the Matt Walsh Show, we've heard about Disney's not-so-secret gay agenda. Now, thanks to James O'Keefe, we know more about their not-so-secret anti-white agenda. Also, MSNBC talking heads do their best to explain why classrooms should have pride flags but shouldn't have the Ten Commandments. Their argument is more revealing than they wanted it to be. And, can racism cause cancer? That was the premise of an episode of an NBC medical drama. It was not satire. Not intentionally, anyway.

    Ep. 1391 - Anti-Human Eco Brats Deface One Of The Oldest Monuments On Earth

    Ep. 1391 - Anti-Human Eco Brats Deface One Of The Oldest Monuments On Earth

    Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the anti-human climate alarmist brats are at it again. This time, they defaced one of the oldest and most historically significant monuments on the planet. These people don't love the planet. They just hate humanity. Also, Louisiana is mandating a copy of the Ten Commandments for every classroom in the state. The usual suspects are claiming that this is an attack on the First Amendment. I'll explain why that's ridiculous. And, the "bio-hacking" movement continues to grow. These are people who think that dying is a choice, rather than an inevitable fact of human existence.

    Ep. 1390 - Major Polling Firm Changes Its Own Results After Left-Wing Activists Complain

    Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the term "Orwellian" is overused these days–but, no other word can describe what just happened with a Pew survey finding that a vast majority of black Americans believe in racial conspiracy theories. The findings were so upsetting to activists that Pew went back and changed the report. This is a crazy story that few are talking about. We'll discuss. Also, Donald Trump reportedly floated the idea of abolishing the income tax. That's a great idea that should garner a lot more enthusiasm than it does. And, a democratic congresswoman claims that she miraculously cured cancer. Where are the fact-checkers on this one?

    Could Hillary Clinton Be Democrats' New Choice for 2024? | Live With Josh
    President Joe Biden is fading in the polls for the 2024 elections, and Democrat voters are now showing who their top candidate could be: Hillary Clinton. If they get their way, we could see a repeat of the 2016 elections, with yet another face-off between former President Donald Trump and Ms. Clinton. In other news, New York City Mayor Eric Adams is facing sexual assault allegations, through a one-year legal exemption that allowed a former lawsuit against President Trump. In this episode of Crossroads, we’ll discuss these topics and others, and answer questions from the audience.
