Christine Blasey Ford

Women fight back most effectively when they expose the ugliness.

Um, we, for example, interviewed Deborah Katz, whose clients, uh, have included Christine Blasey Ford, the Stanford research psychologist who testified that US Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when they were in high school.

And one of the things Katz said to us was that being effective means being willing to shed light on issues to ensure accountability, and w- we think that holds promise And I, I will say the reason I'm optimistic and the reason I'm not, so I was recently reading about a reporter who drove, uh, across, uh, rural Montana, Idaho, um, you know, very much, uh, uh, what we think of as the conservative hinterlands, and found that people there were just as concerned as people in urban areas with growing inequality, and what they saw as the corruption associated with it.

And as I said, in 2016, it was Marco Rubio and Hillary Clinton talking about these things.

But I can't not cover the story, because it has a major impact on the state ahead of November, and it impacts literally every single listener on the Missouri side in terms of which district they're gonna be voting in congressionally, John.

Yeah, we get to bring up Christine Blasey Ford too, since we're talking about Kavanaugh.

[laughs]

It's like, if he didn't have nothing to say last time, I don't wanna hear from him this time.

And, you know, we've got this feminist movement that forgives Hillary Clinton for being a blatant liar.

It rewards women who lie like E. Jean Carroll, that kook, and also Blasey Ford.

Where's Blasey? Where's old Christine? Now that her usefulness has run out for the left, it rewards all these women for doing things.

My son has a shirt that says, I want equal pay for men on OnlyFans.

I want us to also remember that every eight years we have the exact same Venus retrograde, more or less, meaning Venus will retrograde through the exact same basically degrees as it did eight years ago, and it will eight years from now.

And so the last time we had this exact Venus retrograde, in 2018, Christine Blasey Ford came forward with an accusation of sexual assault towards the then nominee for the Supreme Court, Brett Kavanaugh.

It was September.

So this time, eight years ago, when Venus was in roughly the same position, she was coming forward with those accusations.

Yes.

And totally dismiss the testimony of, oh, God, her last name was Christine Blasey Ford.

Christine Blasey Ford.

Exactly.

Who gave.

[laughs]

And then, Gloria, I think about, like, th- Christine Blasey Ford when she's talking about the laughter of the men when she testified and she said, "What is indelible in the hippocampus is the laughter."

Mm.

Mm-hmm.

Prior to his joining The Intercept, Grim held the same position at The Huffington Post, where he twice led reporting teams that were Pulitzer finalists for their work.

His own reporting was the first to blow the whistle on Supreme Court Judge Brett Kavanaugh, reporting on the letter Dianne Feinstein received from Christine Blasey Ford, accusing Kavanaugh of assault.

He is also a political commentator for the Young Turks and appears frequently as a guest on the Majority Report with Sam Sater and Rising with Crystal and Sager.

His writings have appeared in several publications, including Rolling Stones, The Washington Post, and Politico.
