Kavanaugh Accusers Lied, Referred To FBI For Investigation.While we don't know the full details we can now say according to NBC News that Julie Swetnick and another unnamed witness provided statements under penalty of felony but later recanted some of those statements. One woman claimed that Michael Avenatti twisted her words and she recanted some of the statements she made in her sworn declaration.The two possible scenarios both involved the accusers having lied. Either they lied in their sworn statements or they lied to NBC news. Lying to the press is not a crime so the FBI will likely go off of the sworn statements but with one woman claiming Avenatti twisted her words he might be on the hook for some of the accusations against Brett Kavanaugh.Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate)

The nations of Africa have a long memory of European colonialism, and those memories are not good. Colonialism left in the 1960s, but one pro-life activist says it’s back in the form of pro-abortion ideology. Today we sit down with Nigerian activist Obianuju Ekeocha to discuss how Western nations are importing socially liberal values into Africa.We also cover these stories:--More suspicious packages turned up in the mailboxes of prominent Democrats on Thursday.--President Trump tweeted about the caravan, “I am bringing out the military for this national emergency.

Meagan Day, Natalie Shure, and Alissa Quart reflect with Suzi Weissman on the toxicity — and banality — of the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation to the Supreme Court. We look at the way the contentious, emotional hearings exposed the fault lines between gender, privilege, class, and politics in the US — and ask why the Democrats have been so meek, diffident, and ineffective in the face of the Republican Party’s disciplined march to impose the future, violating every norm to get an extreme right-wing bloc on the Supreme Court. We also look at what that means for the fightback. Natalie Shure looks at the Federalist Society and their influence and politics that go beyond gender justice to the very defining characteristics of Kavanaugh’s ideology and the political movement that groomed him. Alissa Quart, author of Squeezed: Why Our Families Can't Afford America writes about class privilege and the women who are invisible to Kavanaugh and his class. Christine Blasey Ford is heard, but betrays her class by stepping forward, whereas the testimony of Debbie Ramirez, Julie Swetnick, and thousands of other women workers are disregarded.

Mazie Hirono if allegations that Kavanaugh threw ice at someone in a car 33 years ago is disqualifying for his bid to be a Supreme Court justice and Hirono gives another ludicrous response.

In the weeks since Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings, not one, not two, but three women have stepped forward to accuse him of perpetrating or participating in sexual assault. The first charge was Doctor Christine Blasey Ford’s accusation of attempted rape. Ford accused Kavanaugh of holding her down, muffling her screams, and trying to take off her clothes. The second charge was Deborah Ramirez’s, who accused Kavanaugh of exposing his penis to her and laughing about it to his friends. The third charge, which emerged on Wednesday, came from Julie Swetnick. Swetnick accused Kavanaugh of running a “rape train,” getting girls drunk and participating in gang rapes. These are shocking accusations. But maybe we should have expected revelations about sexual misconduct from a Trump nominee. After all, as of last count, President Trump has more than 16 allegations of sexual misconduct against him. But it’s not just that the two have both amassed accusations of sexual crimes that makes them simpatico. For Kavanaugh is not just a Trump pick. He is the natural product of the worldview Trump espouses, what I like to call Trumpism. Put simply, Trumpism is all about empowering the empowered. Trumpism is about taking the cool kids, the rich white kids who have always got what they wanted, and making sure that they get even more.

On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, it’s curious that we now have three accusers of Brett Kavanaugh at the 11th hour with no specifics and no corroboration. All three accusers are being used by the Democrats and tainted by their antics, so why should we believe their flimsy allegations? There’s 3 remarkable similarities among the Kavanaugh allegations: No witnesses, no corroboration, no evidence. That’s the pattern. If Kavanaugh were a left-wing judge nominated by Barack Obama, the media would be defending him instead of dragging him through the mud. This is not only about destroying Kavanaugh’s reputation and sinking his nomination – it’s a warning to all conservatives and President Trump nominees that coming forward means they’ll have their reputations destroyed by Democrats. Finally, the ex-boyfriend of Julie Swetnick, Kavanaugh’s third accuser, had a restraining order filed against her in 2001 for making threats against him and his family. She’s being represented by Michael Avenetti which already questions her credibility. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Whoever controls education has an enormous impact on the direction of our country. That’s not exactly encouraging news, given the current state of higher education. Our guest today, Heather Mac Donald, has a new book called “The Diversity Delusion.” In that, she describes how a toxic turn in education is infecting society as a whole. Plus: Sex robots are coming to America. We also cover these stories:--A third accuser, Julie Swetnick, is now alleging that Brett Kavanaugh behaved inappropriately at high school parties. She is represented by Michael Avenatti.--Kavanaugh dismissed the allegation as being from the “twilight zone.” He said, “I don't know who this is and this never happened.”--Sen. Jeff Merkeley, D-Ore., is trying to block a Senate vote on Kavanaugh -- not through persuasion, but through a lawsuit in federal court. --Appearing before the United Nations Security Council Wednesday, President Trump accused China of election interference.  The Daily Signal podcast is available on Ricochet, iTunes, SoundCloud, Google Play, or Stitcher.

On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker and Walter Smolarek and Nicole Roussell (sitting in for John Kiriakou) are joined by Peter Kuznick, a professor and director of the Nuclear Studies Institute at American University, and co-author with Oliver Stone of the book and the hit television series “The Untold History of the United States.” Donald Trump used his speech at the United Nations to lay out an aggressive agenda targeting U.S. rivals and declaring his blanket opposition to multilateralism and so-called “globalism”. While some of Trump’s remarks were met with laughter by the assembled diplomats, what does his speech reveal about his administration’s approach to securing U.S. hegemony around the world? Wednesday’s regular segment, Beyond Nuclear, is about nuclear issues, including weapons, energy, waste, and the future of nuclear technology in the United States. Kevin Kamps, the Radioactive Waste Watchdog at the organization Beyond Nuclear, joins the show. Speaking at the UN Security Council today, Donald Trump accused China of interfering in the midterm election on behalf of opponents of his administration. This is just the latest in a series of anti-China moves and statements coming from the administration. Brian speaks with David Ewing, the chair of the San Francisco chapter of the US-China People’s Friendship Association. Julie Swetnick is the third person to come forward with allegations of serious sexual harassment, assault, or violence by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and others he associated with. Dr. Christine Blasey Ford is slated to testify tomorrow about the sexual assault she suffered from Kavanaugh. This testimony is scheduled despite no investigation yet as requested by Dr. Blasey. Hannah Dickinson, associate professor at Hobart and William Smith Colleges and member of the Geneva Women’s Assembly, joins the show. Iran and the EU have come up with a payment system to work around the US’s sanctions against Iran and anyone doing business with Iran. This is yet another fracture of the EU and US’s relationship. Meanwhile, National Security Adviser John Bolton said in a speech that there would be hell to pay if Iran harmed the US. Medea Benjamin, an anti-war and anti-torture activist who is the co-founder of Code Pink, and whose most recent book is “Inside Iran: The Real History and Politics of the Islamic Republic of Iran.”, joins Brian. The US has imposed new sanctions on several high-ranking officials in Venezuela, including Congresswoman Cilia Flores who also is the wife of President Maduro. The New York Times also published an op-ed today called “Time for a Coup?” about overthrowing President Maduro. Chuck Kaufman, the National Co-Coordinator of the Alliance for Global Justice, joins the show.Mexico’s military arrested two police commanders for murder and the highway police chief for carrying unlicensed weapons in Acapulco. The entire police force has been disarmed and is now being investigated. Brian and John speak with Tom Hansen, the international education director of the Mexico Solidarity Network.

Today's Rapid Response Friday tackles (ugh) the ongoing Judiciary confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Associate Justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh in light of Dr. Ford's allegations, before segueing into an interesting question from super-listener Teresa Gomez.  If you want to know everything about Rachel Mitchell (and so much more!) -- well, you've come to the right place!

Nat'l Archives, Case No. 18-02143-RDM seeking FOIA information from the National Archives and the CIA; (3) the unprecedented appointment of career sex crimes prosecutor Rachel Mitchell to handle the questioning of Dr. Ford and Kavanaugh; (4) the strange circumstances surrounding Michael Avenatti's claim to represent additional women allegedly harrassed by Kavanaugh; and (5) what Dianne Feinstein wants.  Phew! After that, we somehow have time to answer a fascinating question about pro se litigants giving testimony in court! Finally, we end with an all new Thomas Takes The Bar Exam #95 regarding Congressional delegation of rule-making authority.  Will Thomas get back on track with just one extra wrong answer to give in the next six questions?  Yu'll have to listen and find out!  And, of course, if you'd like to play along with us, just retweet our episode on Twitter or share it on Facebook along with your guess and the #TTTBE hashtag.  We'll release the answer on next Tuesday's episode along with our favorite entry!

New allegations have been made against Brett Kavanaugh and they are some of the most insane things I've ever heard. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they aren't true but man does this sound ridiculous. Many are now demanding that the confirmation hearing be postponed or even canceled as they feel these claims against Kavanaugh should disqualify him for SCOTUS but some believe that the claims are so absolutely ridiculous they can't possibly be true. At this point I have no idea wth is going on. Im over it... I'm going to talk about movies or something tomorrow...Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate)
