  • here today not because I want to be.
  • I am terrified.
  • I am here because I believe it is my civic duty to tell you what happened to me while Brett Kavanaugh and I were in high school.
  • The details about that night that bring me here today are the ones I will never forget.
  • They have been seared into my memory and have haunted me episodically as an adult.
  • Dr. Ford, with what degree of certainty do you believe Brett Kavanaugh assaulted you?
  • One hundred percent.
  • The entire, yeah.
  • Yeah.
  • The entire country was hanging on every word of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's gripping congressional testimony in twenty eighteen, alleging she was sexually assaulted by then Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh back in high school.
  • And now she is sharing how she found the courage to speak out and the impact it had on her life.
  • In the new memoir, One Way Back, please welcome Dr. Christine Blasey Ford.
  • Well, I have to say that, you know, to face those people, the way they were looking and dealing with you, that is bravery under a whole different kind of fire.
  • That's right.
  • I just wanted to say.
  • But since you testified back in twenty eighteen, you've largely stayed out of the public eye and you, uh,
  • You've not ever done a live interview before.
  • So first of all, thanks for coming to us.
  • Thanks for having me.
  • Are you speaking out now so that you can take charge of the narrative?
  • Yes.
  • It's been almost six years since I started on this journey.
  • After my day on television, it was really difficult for a couple of years, and now that I'm doing much better, I felt it was time to write about the full experience, the before and the after, so that people will know what it's like, and hopefully it will help someone.
  • Oh, well, the book is fantastic, and I know that it will help people.
  • And I, like Whoopi, I applaud you on your courage and your bravery.
  • That was a very brave thing that you did.
  • Thank you.
  • So let's remind everyone, you've accused now Justice Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting you at a high school party.
  • in the the the eighties saying you were afraid he might accidentally kill you.
  • Now, we're not going to rehash the details, OK, because of the alleged attack.
  • But you you've largely stayed silent about it for decades.
  • Tell us about the moment you realized, oh, my goodness, he is going to be on the Supreme Court.
  • I need to come forward with my story.
  • So I realized that as soon as Justice Kennedy retired, that it was a possibility.
  • And I started to be concerned about it when I saw his name in the news on the short list.
  • And I thought it was imperative that I share the data.
  • And I knew it was going to be difficult.
  • but I also realized it was gonna be more difficult to not say anything, that I would just feel terrible if I didn't say anything and that I wanted to share the information that I had about him.
  • But you also write in the book that you didn't think, you thought you could maybe just go to the FBI or go to someone, you didn't think you would ever be called in front of Congress.
  • Right, I never thought I'd have that day on television.
  • I thought I would share the information with the senators and they would do with it what they felt
  • was necessary.
  • So I thought I was being helpful.
  • I was trying to collaborate with them.
  • And it was a three month process of working up to that day on TV.
  • So that was what was most fascinating to me.
  • And the book was, you said you were idealistic about the process, and you thought you'd be able to stay anonymous, the story would blow over in twenty four hours, and that Trump may even nominate someone else to avoid the embarrassment, which he didn't.
  • And you didn't find out until you were walking into the hearing that it would be televised.
  • What was that moment like for you?
  • Okay, well first about the being idealistic, yes, I was definitely, people have called me naive and I was very idealistic having grown up in Washington, D.C.
  • and revering all of those institutions and thinking that's the place where we send the very best of people.
  • So that idealism served me because if I had been cynical or concerned, I don't think I would have ever made it to,
  • Yeah, yeah.
  • I would never have left the beach in Santa Cruz and gone to see my congressperson.
  • But the second part of your question I haven't answered.
  • I'm sorry, I forgot.
  • No, just what was the mindset when you realized it was going to be televised?
  • So I was very adamant that I didn't want a camera.
  • I'm a little afraid of the camera.
  • And they said, well, we need to have one camera so that all the senators will be able to see you.
  • And they were telling me that when I was walking down the hallway, and it was too late to worry about it at that point.
  • So they said it would be on C SPAN, and I was just telling myself, okay, nobody's gonna watch C SPAN.
  • My friends are all at work.
  • None of my friends are gonna see C SPAN at work.
  • Fine.
  • And then they said, well, C SPAN, something about people have the rights to pick up C SPAN if they would like to.
  • Clearly they did.
  • Again, thank you for what you did.
  • I think speaking truth to power has an enormous cost, as we all know, particularly with men in power at that level, which is a very high level.
  • So this all came at a tremendous cost to you.
  • You say that there was a smear campaign against you, that you experienced death threats, and they basically made your life miserable, and you had to go into hiding.
  • So speak about that a little bit without upsetting yourself.
  • It's upsetting to think that people are out to get you for speaking the truth.
  • for trying to help, right?
  • So yes, so my family had to live away from our house the day that the news broke the story and we left for one night and we were gone for three and a half months before we could go back.
  • So, and there were a lot of really just horrible threats and threats against my kids.
  • Did you have any protection from the government?
  • Not from the government.
  • Private citizens in my community donated to have a,
  • private security detail, so we had four security guards so that the kids could, we were living in a hotel and not that close to their school, but we wanted them to not have to miss the school year, so they were getting children.
  • How old were the children again?
  • I had a high schooler and a middle schooler.
  • It's tough on them, I'm sure.
  • It was really hard for them.
  • They really missed the dog and didn't want to stay away that long.
  • Well, another brave woman who also blew the whistle on another Supreme Court Justice is Anita Hill.
  • And people didn't believe her either.
  • And did you speak to her?
  • Did she help you with this at all?
  • I spoke to her.
  • We did an event in Seattle where I got to introduce her.
  • And I asked her.
  • How long is it going to take me to get over this?
  • And it was about a year and a half after I testified.
  • And she said, oh, she joked, like, twenty five years will do a lot.
  • And I was like, I don't think I can wait twenty five years.
  • She retained her sense of humor.
  • Yes.
  • Well, you've been called a highly credible witness.
  • And you have a Ph.D.
  • in psychology.
  • professor, you teach at Palo Alto and Stanford universities.
  • But even today, some people remain skeptical of your story.
  • And you write that during the hearing, Senator Lindsey Graham wouldn't even make eye contact with you.
  • Were you prepared for that kind of response?
  • I was prepared ahead of time that none of the Republicans were going to speak with me and they were going to use an outside interviewer.
  • And so I was actually surprised at how kind some of the other
  • Republican senators were, who broke that protocol and said hello.
  • Who was that?
  • Can you name a good one?
  • Senator Flake and Senator Sasse both came over and said hello.
  • But neither was in Congress anymore, right?
  • But still, a credit.
  • Yes, good for them.
  • Both good men.
  • Yeah.
  • Well, people also often tell you, they say the words, I think, well meaning, I believe you.
  • But you explain that otherwise, and you tell there's another way to support people than those words.
  • Right, and this is something I've talked with Anita about in another setting, that that's the most common thing we say to sexual assault survivors is, I believe you, and it's a really nice thing to say to someone.
  • It's very well intentioned and it's well received, but it's the only thing that we say, I believe you.
  • Like if I said, my name's Christine, you wouldn't say, I believe you, or if I said, I lost my wallet, you wouldn't say, I believe you.
  • But we seem to only use that phrase for that.
  • I'm not sure what we should say I think it when someone says I believe you it puts the survivor in the position of saying thank you, and then it's The conversation's kind of over then I think that if someone tells me something bad happened to them that they had a
  • car accident or that something happened, I say, are you okay?
  • Or what could I do to help you?
  • I'm so sorry.
  • I'm so sorry.
  • I'm so sorry that happened to you.
  • Yeah, that's.
  • Say that I understand you.
  • I understand.
  • Yeah.
  • Cause it just, it, it gives you the opportunity if you want to share and, or just to say, I'm connected to you because I understand.
  • I like that.
  • That's a good one.
  • Well, I'm going to use that one.
