"I'm the host Scott feinberg. And my guest today is one of the most popular and prolific actresses of her generation. She is best known for playing Monica Geller, the OCD mother hen on the beloved NBC sitcom Friends from 1994 through 2004, and also for portraying the ambitious TV reporter Gale weathers in the scream films released in 1996, 1997, 2002 1011 and 2022, with another on the way in 2023. Her others stand out work includes stints on FX's drama series dirt from 2007 through 2008, TBS sitcom cougar town from 2009 through 2015, and most recently, stars is comedy horror series shining veil, which debuted in March and on which she plays a wife mother and author whose midlife personal and professional struggles lead her family to relocate from their New York apartment to an old house in Connecticut, where her troubles only get worse. Courtney, Cox. Over the course of our conversation, which was recorded in front of a class that I teach at Chapman university, the 57 year old and I discussed some of her early breaks, like being hired to dance opposite Bruce Springsteen in a music video, and playing the girlfriend of Michael J. Fox's character on family ties. How she first heard about Friends and why she asked to play Monica instead of Rachel. How her prior work on Friends and in the scream films, as well as personal frustrations that she felt during the years after cougar town helped to prepare her for her role on shining veil, which she describes as the most layered and challenging she has ever played, plus much more. And so without further ado, let's go.

Why the Supreme Court Draft Decision Was Approached With Reason

"Court. I've been teaching these cases for 25 years at Chapman university school of law. And I know them backwards and forwards. And so I read the opinion I'm persuaded. It's the correct opinion. I hope it's at least a 6 three decision. I don't know if you've had a chance to read the opinion of what you think of its reasoning. But I find it persuasive. Did you have a chance to read it? I have not you. So with all the stuff we're working on here. But I do have some members of my legal team and we sat down briefly yesterday. And I tried to hit some of those high points. And what they have been able to review so far, they also thought it was very sound reasoning. And not coming from a pro life or pro abortion standpoint, they were looking at it as just pure reasoning and they felt that it was the right direction. So I'm excited to dig in a little deeper and see. But this is unfortunate. I shouldn't even have this opportunity, right? Yes. It is because it was leaked. And the crazy thing is, they're very few people that have access to these opinions.

"Some people react like as if my open relationship is a threat to their monogamous relationship You know not that I'm trying to sleep with their partner or anything but just like the existence of open relationships or people that might be happy in those is some sort of message of danger to the relationship they have And I think that's true of a lot of ways of living that have been normed when there's an alternative presented People can be really uncomfortable with that or feel like it's an attack when you know it's obvious people are living their own life In 2021 researchers from the Kinsey institute and Chapman university in the U.S. surveyed single Americans about polyamory One out of 6 people expressed a desire to engage in polyamory and one out of 9 said they'd done it at some point in their life Monogamy is embedded in the very first stories we learn about love I think fairytales Cinderella is essentially monogamy as foot fetish But are those norms as relevant and resonant for someone like sex expert Dan savage in a same sex relationship In heterosexual land I think like commitment and monogamy are often like this two for one bundled package Does that work similarly in the gay world No and it never has I'm 56 years old I came out when I was 16 17 years old And monogamy was always the conversation It was negotiated It was opt in And for straight people monogamy has always seemed to be a default setting From the very first night a couple spends together Dan says that gay relationships necessarily involve a lot of talking When a man in a man are going to bed together for the first time they don't get to consent and stop communicating They get to consent Yes let's have sex and then they keep talking because what's going to happen next is an obvious can't be assumed You have to talk about what you want to do What your desires are Straight people avoid that conversation Straight couples might just presume they agree with sex should be What a relationship should be Whereas gay couples don't have the same scripts to lean on so they got to negotiate every step What do you actually want out of this What should we build together Dan savage is one man leading one life who has not been elected official representative of gay people around the globe But in his worldview monogamy is just not the gold standard of romantic connection Part of the gay men are failing at monogamy I think gay men are succeeding at relationships and non monogamy Okay Enough about love for a minute let's talk money It's time for econ I'm Marina ache I'm assistant professor at the Vancouver school of economics at the university of British Columbia in my specialization is the economics of sex and love So from the economic.

"Overturn the 2020 election That's the word this week from the House committee investigating the capitol riot Let it go senior legal affairs reporter Josh gerstein on the latest on the investigation Based on the interviews they've done with Trump allies and all kinds of other people they believe there's a case to say that the president was involved in a criminal conspiracy against the United States and also that he essentially obstructed Congress when he tried to convince vice president Mike Pence to delay or not certify the electoral account on January 6th which Pence declined to take Trump's advice on There's more material suggesting that president Trump when he was president was told repeatedly you have lost the election and proceeded to push on anyway to try to find ways to cling to power Is that central to the argument here by the committee Yeah I mean if a lawyer gives you good legal advice to do something generally you're not going to be charged criminally for doing that but the problem here is Trump had a lot of people including lawyers including people like his attorney general at least up till the end of December Bill Barr telling him you lost the election It's time to move forward with the transition And instead he seized on some of the more fringe lawyers and in fact that's where this report from the select committee is coming out It's in litigation where the committee is trying to get emails from a fellow named John eastman who was a professor law professor at Chapman university who was advising Trump and some of his more extreme aides on how to proceed in connection with the election So the committee can't prosecute anyone only the Justice Department could do that And so it could be that this conclusion about Trump breaking the law is more of an effort to try to get access to those emails than it is really moving the ball down the road in terms of any potential criminal prosecution That is such an important point I was going to mention that even casual followers of politics They know how many times maybe hundreds of times now we've heard about a report or a lawsuit or some other legal maneuver accusing this former president of things And then it's just legal gridlock Some of them seem to vanish into thin air with countersuits appeals and so on Any reason to believe something bigger may be going on here At the moment I don't think so I mean clearly there are members of this committee that think that Trump is guilty of either what's alleged in this report or something else at the moment we've seen no sign from the Justice Department that they're actually actively investigating this type of thing That said if this argument that Trump broke the law could be very important to getting the committee more information it already has a lot of information it's trying to build that up And if they could obtain access to thousands of emails that this law professor John eastman set around the time of this dispute about certifying the election can help them build a case of what happened before January 6th And it could contribute to potentially some kind of prosecution of Trump whether it be by the Justice Department or maybe officials down in Georgia or up in New York somebody else In a very legal sense what happens now that the material has been filed in federal court or does anything happen Well there's no direct consequence but this is an argument to the judge who's sitting out in Los Angeles who's considering eastman's effort to sort of block the subpoena to him This judge now will have to weigh these arguments And if he thinks that there's a decent case to be made that the president broke the law that would probably override any claim of attorney client privilege or other kinds of privileges eastman is trying to use to keep these communications secret That's an effort the Trump campaign and Trump allies are also backing So it's less a question at this point of whether Trump gets prosecuted I don't see that on the horizon here At least over this matter It's more a question of whether the judge buys these arguments as plausible enough to help this House committee get more of the information they say is critical to their work Politico senior legal affairs.

I'm Scott feinberg, the host, and also a trustee professor at Chapman university's Dodge college of film and media arts. I should tell those of you tuning in that this is a special live episode being recorded at Chapman's felino theater in orange, California. In front of an audience of my students and other members of the community of this great film school. My guest today is a 54 year old Canadian who is now one of a select few filmmakers in Hollywood who makes movies which are consistently embraced by both critics and large audiences. After directing his first four features in Canada, three of which were the nation's submission for what is now known as the best international feature Oscar and one of which 2010s ons was nominated. He began working in America. And in just the 8 years since he has rather remarkably helmed 6 major features. 2013s prisoners and enemy 2015s Sicario 2016s arrival 2017s Blade Runner 2049, and this year, dune. The film that he dreamed of making since he read Frank Herbert's 1965 sci-fi novel of the same name when he was just 13. A recent New York Times Magazine profile of him was titled, quote, the man who finally made a dune that fans will love. Held Denis Villeneuve broke the curse, quote. We're going to get into that today and much more. So would you please join me in welcoming to awards chatter and to Chapman university, mister Denis.

"Would you please join me in welcoming to Chapman university the great Harvey Keitel. Can I say something before we get started? Whatever you'd like. Okay. Before I got thrown out of high school, I left with one word one line of wisdom that I never forgot. For my English teacher, and I got thrown out kind of early, by the way. Who said the only stupid question is the one not asked. Now we can start. Thank you. So on this podcast, we always begin. Right at the beginning, if you would not mind sharing with our class, where were you born and raised and what did your folks do for a living? I was born and raised in Brooklyn. My folks were immigrants from Romania and Poland. So I'm the child of immigrants. And my father worked at a sewing machine in factory, all of his life. And my mother worked in lunch and here and there. And you were a presence in those diners as well, right? I made more at that time we called them Morton's milkshakes. You can imagine. And that creams. Cherry cokes. Hamburgers. It's a good skills. So my understanding though is that when you were not in the diner or wherever else that your parents might have been, you were running with a crowd that maybe got a little bit, I got into a little bit of trouble now and then. And then yet as you kind of referenced, you did not finish high school, the traditional way, you went off at 17 to the marines. How do we reconcile the kid who's running around getting in trouble with choosing to go into the marines? Well, first of all, the idea.

"Hi ladies. This is the last episode of ladies we need to talk for season 5. And every time we come up to this point of winding up where we find ourselves lowering the blinds on ladies headquarters, unplugging the mics turning off the lights and locking the door as we leave, I always think, will we ever come back here? Because surely there isn't anything left anymore that we need to talk about. Haven't we already covered every taboo? Well, switch the lights back on because we're coming back in. There is something we need to talk about. And it's something that's good. It's like a lovely plate. Upon which sits a fat triangle of chocolate cake with white cream oozing out the side and a shiny red strawberry on top. It's awesome, right, so we want. We should have it. We deserve it. But it's so icky to ask for that we can barely say the word. The word for that thing that we want is. Pleasure. I don't know why, but I think sometimes there's like a mental block whether it's guilt or shame or feeling like it's okay to enjoy myself. I always feel like I have to kind of get to the finish line. The thing that gets in the way of my sexual pleasure is the fact that I often think that my partner might feel that I have a poo inside me. I remember my grandfather saying that God had a sense of humor because he put the fun park next to the spirit. At the end of the day, I literally just want some personal space. And I just want to just be on my own, not have anyone name me or touch me. Okay, I'm not just in the bedroom, but leading up to that, if there was more that available, the little kisses, the little touches. So that it's not just okay, and you want to win. I want to have sex because that turns me off. A lot of women are really unhappy with their sex lives. This malaise is backed up by research. A team from monash university spoke to young women between the ages of 18 and 39 about their sex lives. And more than half, yep. Half said that is satisfied in some way. Another study from Chapman university in the U.S. of more than 50,000 people found that while straight men orgasm 95% of the time during sex, straight.

"That gets missed for one thing the full range of people's gestures Gets lost when you're when you're on zoom the sense of social What psychologists call social presence energizing alertness that we feel in the presence of another person knows things. Just don't They don't come across in the same way and inzamam especially if you have a conversation. I tried this when the when the university's at chapman university closed down in early march of twenty twenty. And that was it. We want to zoom. And i was teaching a small seminar. Just twenty five students and you know conversation kind of ricochet around the room sort of randomly and you kind of look for social cues and on zoom. You just have to put the little at your flag up. Like i put my hand up and it's like this is just totally not even remotely is good now now. I'm really glad that universities. And you know k twelve schools are largely returning to in person instruction year. I think it's really important for people to learn and think and work together in in person in the same place at the same time. One of the funny little anecdote i reading. Your book was the first course i ever had in. College was an astronomy course and this got interested in sciences in the first place but i remember the professor was lecturing on each of the nine planets. There were nine back then. That's how that's how old i am. Pluto is still a planet he would go and stand at a different part of the room for each of the different planets. He lectured on. And i thought this is really weird thing but now i can remember. Jupiter was over in the corner by the window and was over there. And so that's what you're talking about right this Receptive or just kind of the physical environment. I mean it gives the more hooks we can sink into a piece of information the more ways we have to reel it in later on so that the the literal position of your of your professor when he was speaking about the different planets i think gave your memory another another hook to grab that piece of information with. It's like that That ancient greek memory system where you navigate through a room and you tag words you're trying to remember to objects in the room or whatever and then you recount the list of words for people whose names are trying to remember at a party or whatever when you kind of replay in your head that journey through the house or the room or the palace of the memory or something like that.

"Them so sick of these politicians in this state I can't take it anymore. They're all worried about what Trump is doing. How about we worry about what the hell you're doing? The Via, and major veterans groups have condemned the insurrection of the U. S. Capitol. But some groups worry that vets are being unfairly singled out. John Router is the spokesman for the American Legion, the radicalization among certain fringe elements. We don't see it is Morpher problem for Veterans of America. In general, the American Legion has a program to confront the suicide among veterans. They even have legion posts inside prisons to help rehabilitate veterans. You don't have similar programs to confront extremism directly, even though days before the insurrection, a San Diego newspaper uncovered a local post commander who boasted about being a member of the far right group, The proud boys. He'd see me is a professor on violent extremism at Chapman University. He says Veterans groups are just one small part of a broader nation wide crisis. We're way behind able. I mean, we just have not dealt with this problem in a meaningful way. We don't have a national strategy and state and local resources aren't there. See me says the number of hate groups spiked during the Obama administration. There was a major resurgence after Obama's election and away and there was a number of different factors not unlike what we see today that we're helping propel that. And we did nothing We did We. In fact, we denied that it was a problem. Much of the research into de radicalizing people who have taken up violent extremism centers around Islamic extremism. See me says, and as far a specific intervention programs. Designed specifically for veterans. It's just it's not there. Tony McAleer, author of the Cure for Hate, says vets have long been a target of extremist groups. I can see how Perhaps people Get manipulated by their patriotism, you know, and duped into doing things that you know when you take a step back on. You know, I can't believe I did that. MCA Lira, former neo Nazi and a Canadian vet counsels people trying to leave extremist groups. He says. Some veterans of recent wars come back to sensitize the other cultures after being put into situations where they cannot always tell friend from foe. You have to dehumanize other human beings, you know, to prepare people for violence, you have to dehumanize the target first nearly a decade ago, Mac Lir also helped found life after hate, which now has a federal grant to help those trying to leave violent extremist groups. Spokesman Dimitrios Cleanses says the difference between now in a decade ago is that people are speaking more openly about the threat of domestic radical extremism. People will hopefully more people will get the help they need. Before they become radicalized to violence before they actually take that last and final step in the wake of the siege of the capital, And as awareness grows, there's a hope that veterans groups will be more openly involved themselves in deradicalization programs. After all these air the groups that veterans often turned to first for help. For NPR news. I'm Steve Walsh. Now we have a story on the geopolitics of distributing vaccines. Russia's President Vladimir Putin oversaw an effort to develop a vaccine, which he has now rushing to get into the arms of his fellow citizens. But also exporting around the world. NPR's Lucian Kim reports. Russia has the fourth highest covert 19 caseload after the United States, India and Brazil. Officials say more than 60,000. Russians have already died. But even amid so much gloom, President Putin has found a reason to be proud. Now, Voxant she's getting the solution is right shooting at a government meeting Wednesday, he called the Russian made vaccines but McVee the best in the world. For Putin. The vaccine is not just about saving people's lives. It's also an opportunity to project Russian soft power. It's definitely Putin's product, and it's kind of like Russia national champion here We have a vaccine, which has the backing off the Kremlin and the whole state run PR machinery to promote it. That's Alexandra. Go boo. If of the Carnegie Moscow Center a think tank, it addresses the generating concern to provide vaccinations for the Russian population. But it's also a tool to improve Russia's position in the global competition for in class. Hardly a day goes by without an announcement on social media of a new international deal for the vaccine, Argentina began vaccination with Russia's Putin the vaccine Mass that according to the makers of the vaccine, it's already been registered in half a dozen countries and there are plans to jointly produced in India, Brazil, China and elsewhere. Required double dose of Sputnik V cost Listen, $20 and Russia's approaching countries that have not been able to secure supplies of more expensive Western vaccines. Alexander God. Buddha says Russia has an image problem in the United States and Europe. Russia developing and reliable vaccine is something that most off the advanced democracies one believing and because Russia is not the only country that provides this Vital commodity they turned to reliable suppliers could believe, says the Kremlin has used its English language TV channel Russia today to spread disinformation in the West. And now it's using the channel to advertise Sputnik v. Makers of the vaccine claim it has nothing to do with politics. Recently. The scientist who let its development Alexander Ginsberg made a telling remark on Russian TV character than the Sicilian You're playing North store. Once Europeans realized Sputnik V can save their lives, he said. Vote for politicians who also understand that Ginsberg may have been referring to neighboring Ukraine, which Russia invaded in 2014. Ukraine has found itself at the back of the line for Western vaccines, and Putin's allies there are pushing Kiev to take up the Kremlin's offer of Sputnik V. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dimitri Colaba told the TV interviewer. Ukraine will pass You fucked up number controversially, he said. Russia is more interested in using Sputnik V s propaganda than helping Ukrainians. That kind of resistance is not deterring Putin. Russia is now asking the European Union to approve its vaccine.

"Studio. My next guest. Dr John Eastman. Former dean of Chapman University. Long time Professor there, and, as you know, in his personal capacity has represented President Donald Trump. And apparently, some pressure was put on the university. And now, Mr Eastman is leaving the university with whom he has had decades long association. He now joins us, Please welcome back. Dr John Eastman. Thanks very much. Well, thank you so much. My first question Professor is is the real simple one. I'm assuming there's some sort of procedure you have to undergo when you decide to represent. Somebody in your personal capacity. If there is such a procedure. Did you follow that? I followed it. Look, uh, the university town. So there was a lot of faculty 10 years ago. The guy involved in challenging California's adoption. The Proposition eight. They filed a brief that look for all intents and purposes like it was taken a position on behalf of the university itself, which is not appropriate in the university counsel came down and said You know you can't do that. You can't mention Chapman in the brief except in your signature block, because that's your professional address A zoo long as you put care of before it to make sure that people know you're not filing the brief on behalf of Chapman. That's what I get him in. The dean asked me, you know, even taken additional step given the controversial nature of representing the president. Why is that? So? Can you tell me? You tell me? I would have thought that would've been a badge of honor I've got I've got a professor at my school, The president thought highly enough enough. Higher in arguably the one of the most important legal cases in this country's history, and they're mad at you. I don't get You can imagine if it had been the last President President Obama. They were throwing festivals for me, but in any event, he said, Let's just take Chapman off of it and just have the street address and the rest of the signature box. So that's what I did. On Then they said, Oh, no, You're not allowed to do that. Well, I published a nice feet pointing out how everybody else has done that. So you know the double standards laid out, but that was bad enough. What they couldn't tolerate was that I also Called into question the validity of the election at a speech on the on the on the equipment on the lips in front of the White House last week on duh, So you know there's a letter. There's a letter out there that scurrilous and said the things I said at that brief remarks about three minutes. We're had no foundation or were baseless Had no foundation in law are facts. I published the piece and response to that on day announcing my retirement, It's available up on American mind dot org's go look at it. Everything I said is well documented in in provable, and I noticed that none of my colleagues on the law faculty joined the letter, which I think Was wise of them. We've got saying false things like that. Knowingly false things like that could be the deformation. You know. Well, Professor, Here's what I'm having difficulty with. Let's assume for a moment that you said things that you personally did not believe. But your client believed him or your client felt this way. Or you thought you could make the argument that your client what you didn't want you to make. S O. I know That's not the case. I know you believe in this case, So I've talked to you before you joined him. I'm not. I'm not saying this with you. But isn't that what defense lawyers do is not what lawyers do aren't Lord is supposed to represent their client zealously within the bounds of the law. You think Johnnie Cochran said everything true to the cameras when when he was outside the courtroom. What? What is this? Well, it's it's craziness, but you know, but but you're right. Everything I said. So, for example, I started off my brief remarks by saying, You know, state election officials in several states ignored or authored state law in the conduct of the election. Now that's not only illegal, there was a state election. Because it was a federal election. It's unconstitutional because the Legislature sets the man of her choosing presidential electors, and that's that's unrefuted, you know, And so for what? It's worth it for what it's worth Professor Both Alan Dershowitz and Jonathan Turley have made the same argument as to Pennsylvania. Yes, Pennsylvania, Georgia was constantly happened in all of the Michigan happened in all of us. And, uh, you know, we've got it clear cut on that. That's the issue still pending before the Supreme Court. In my search petition and sir petitions out of Wisconsin. And what have you and you know, I don't know what the Supreme Court is going to do. Now that it looks like the election is over on that we're gonna have an inauguration of former Vice President Biden on Next Wednesday. But this is an issue that needs to be resolved. We can't have election officials kind of put their thumb on the scale and picking and choosing which will also gonna enforce depending on how they think it will affect the upcoming election for their guy. Election officials are not supposed to have of their guy They're supposed to be neutrally, apply the law and count legal ballots and discard and disqualify illegal ballot. I'm talking to Professor John Eastman, formerly of Chapman University, Understand your resignation is effective immediately. John. What about people like Alan Dershowitz? He is professor emeritus at Harvard. Is there any heat on him? You know, I don't know. But in America title is usually at will of the university, so I posed And he you know, he has said nice things about President Trump in the case. Maybe they'll revoke that, you know, And you heard about the Harvard that we're living in is a very dangerous thing. The Harvard Institute of Politics have removed representative At least the phonic from their senior advisory committee because she took the position that she was going to challenge the election. They took her off. Well, what that means is we're not allowed way no longer have First Amendment rights. And when you're talking about speaking about election broad or election here, legality that means you no longer have fair elections. Either our elections Can you be certain to be fair? If they're done in the public eye, and people that see things being done illegally are not allowed to talk about it. Then we neither have free speech North reelection..

"6 20 p m A Z. We speak the vote is going on at the House of Representatives on the rules of the impeachment process. Ah, and then later on today will be the actual vote to impeach or not impeach the president and it is given they will impeach him. And then all kinds of politics play into it. And we'll talk about that. Over the next couple of days and a week from today we're gonna have a new president in the White House. Moving to the pandemic, and I know that the news is horrible. It's horrible beyond horrible. Yesterday it was 4400 deaths in the United States. I mean, it's gone through the roof l, a county where we are, it is the hot spot in the country, maybe in the world actually in terms of new cases and deaths. But are there silver lining slivers of silver? And there seemed to be first of all the zoom conferences, the work done at home. We don't have to travel or you get a lot more done. My friend does travel up in not Las Vegas. His contacts with his customers, Uh, used to have to go there or they come to the office. Now he can do four of them a day with people from all over the country. I mean, that zit is so much more efficient. To do your work meetings, etcetera on the on zoom or on teams or whatever. And so that's the good part. Now, the negative part hospitality industry has been wiped out on they're not gonna be doing that by zoom. You don't go toe. You're certainly not going to go to vacation by zoom, but what you are going to do is be able and you are able to attend concerts, book signings. Film festival speaking engagements. Via the Internet. Online. And that has exploded. Uh, not only the business model itself, but the number of people that can attend. Sundance, the film festival or any film festival. You go. You have to be there in person. You buy the tickets, you go to a film and then whatever the Q and a with the director's etcetera. And how many can you go 2 to 3 films. Well, imagine if you could do it online and you see the films and, of course, now, with modern TVs and sound bars, etcetera and the size of the TVs. The quality is insane. And I'd rather watch at home than in a movie theater any time of the anytime of the day. Because not only can you watch your DVR can record for a period of time. You're good for 24 hours or 12 hours or whatever, and you go to the bathroom. You miss a great part of it. You can replay it. I mean, there's ah, wonderful way of doing it. And so when you have these film festivals, I have a limited number of tickets. But can you imagine an unlimited number? Of tickets to be sold. And they can be sold at a fraction of the cost of people actually attending, which means the volume explodes. Much like you have these Uh, the boxing matches for the titles. World titles right. The actual gate is a tiny fraction of the pay per view. Well, that is the model that is being created and will be there for the future effectively. When you're looking at film festivals is gonna be paper view. I don't even think you're gonna have them in person. I don't have the book, The theaters. They don't have a deal with parking or what? Well, the hotel people gonna go berserk and the restaurants are going to be hit but again. There's always two sides aren't there? Night. You're at home. You're not shopping at the brick and mortar. The Amazons of the world explode. FedEx is doing great guns. At the same time, the brick and mortar stores are dying. It's what this pandemic has done is really creative when we talk about divisiveness. Boy has that happened in the world of business and the Internet combined with a pandemic. It's big stuff. Coming up. Handle on the news. Late edition. Right here on K. If I am 6 40 let's check in with Jennifer US. Representatives have started debating whether to impeach President Trump on a charge of inciting insurrection of the U. S. Capitol. North Carolina Republican Congressman Dan Bishop says what Trump said last week did not rise to the level of incitement. Congress can disapprove, revile condemn, even censure. But you cannot. Consistent with the rule of law. Punished that which the Constitution's first Amendment declares protected. Democrats claim the storming of the capital last week only happened because of inflammatory speech from the president. The housemaster resolution last night calling on the vice president to use the 25th amendment to get President Trump out of office. But vice president Pence says he won't do it before the vote. Pence sent a letter to Pelosi. Saying it would not be consistent with the Constitution to use the amendment against Trump as a punishment. Historians say the amendment was originally designed for when presidents or physically or mentally incapacitated critics of Trump say he is mentally unfit to serve. This report is brought to you by victory tax lawyers. Professor in Orange County, says his speech at the pro Trump Rally in D. C. Was calling on people to peacefully make their voices heard. Chapman University professor John Eastman says no comments from him or the president incited violence, but nothing any of us said that they were even close. That line. But this means then is that people are seeking to shut down any claim of violations of law in the conduct of the election. More than 1400 faculty and students have joined a petition calling for Eastman to be fired. Chapman University says the professor can't be fired unless they're found guilty of a felony or disbarred. Over 19. Is that an impact on the annual consumer electronics show the entire week long convention is now virtual.

Fox's lawyers say they'll keep fighting to overturn her conviction. Italy has begun a maxi trial for more than 300 people with alleged ties to a worldwide crime syndicate.

College in Orange has refused to fire a professor who spoke at President Trump's Rally in D. C right before the capital was breached. Faculty and students at Chapman University claimed Professor John Eastman use conspiracy theory election fraud claims to incite an angry crowd, which led to the violence, Eastman says this is just another attempt to shut down free speech and any questions about the election preposterous to think that those speeches is what instigated what occurred down at the Capitol, a mile and a half away and that began occurring even before the president.

State lawmakers have called for domestic terrorism teams to be created in case of an attack similar to the breach of the Capitol Senator Tom Umberg, who represents part of Orange County, says the law enforcement response in D.

I'm Burke says new legislation would require the state to create units focused on domestic terrorism. The teams would gather and share info on extremist groups such as the Proud Boys and the California Democratic Party is hit back at the recall effort of Governor Newsome by trying to tie it to the insurrection of the capital. Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia says the recall is an attempted coup. Of the state government. In fact, there are folks as we all know that both have supported what is happening in D. C and the work that is happening here in our own state. The party cannot provide direct evidence showing a link between the people who organized the capital insurrection to the recall effort. The recall is a legal mechanism for the people of California to remove an elected leader through a direct vote. Let's go back to that crash.

"Welcome to the tennis dot. Com Pot guest. I'm one of your host. Nina Pantic joined in this episode by my co host. Irena Falconi! Hey, guys! How's it going? And we have a very interesting episode of everyone today we are with the owner artists of cells media. Fine Arts Bruce Cells Bruce Welcome thank you, thank you so much for having me. Bruce? Do you have a very interesting story? I don't think a lot of people know it has to do with Ross doll. You don't usually have artists on our show, so that's why this is very unique and special you wanNA. Tell everyone story when it comes to tennis. Even if you're not a player or coach or tournament organizer, so let's start with you know where you are in the world during this quarantine and how your life is going these days, it's been very interesting. Interesting just like I would say probably ninety nine point. Nine percent of the world is trying to figure out what the hell you're. GonNa do during his time. you know the one fortunate part about it as being an artist, I've been locked in the studio painting new paintings and working with different ideas and working with RAF and his team Carlos Costa to figure out new and inventive ways to drive in bill business and do things that we are currently not used to doing. So it's been. It's been a wild interesting two months of figuring that out. What's your interest level tenants? Do you play? How did you get into this? US Fascinating I'm actually one of those weird concoctions of I'm an artist athletes so I was a big time athlete. As a kid played eight years of Baseball's all-star in baseball play basketball. I was all star in basketball. Basketball led me. Tennis I was a basketball player. Freshmen in highschool and kind of got into. An argument with my coach basically just decided to leave basketball. And I picked up a tennis racket and I had just. It was a natural thing for me to do. And before I knew I, had a professional coach, and my coach was played played on the tour and played John McEnroe. He saw me play and before I knew I was training with some of the best players in northern, California. And so I played high school career. played college and I still train. I still training a tribe while afford the pandemic I was out there every week. just started getting back out there about a week ago when they released the courts, but tennis is definitely in. My jeans had so much, so that my son plays college tennis. I'm actually had a scholarship to Chapman University as I used to play and made teams freshman, and he's also coach now, too, so and even though he still in college, but yes, definitely in my blood and strange enough. Raw Molly the owner of art encounter. That is my distributor. It turns out the way that we got this deal with him. Was He was tennis player in his whole family's sex players, and when he saw the original painting that I did have all sprouted in hadn't seen them in years we. She just freaked out. Saying Oh my God. This is unbelievable what I told him. I have five hundred signed by the dog himself. Personally and myself and we did a whole thing back in the day. When we have this painting, he's like. Nope, that's it. We're going to do something, so it's been a very unique tennis story all the way around. I can honestly say I think it's been a while that I've actually heard someone say that. They're both an athlete an artist. When was When was the moment where you're figured out like? Wow, I actually have a knack for this whole painting thing. That was easier. I I was asking rg by the time. I was five six seven years old. My parents had me in special school. Special Art schools and You know it was something that they noticed when I was one years old that I can draw and I'd actually kept first painting I drawing than I ever did when I was one and They just knew my dad was artist. He never followed that trade. Actually went into corporate business, but my dad is very artistic used to do paintings. So I kind of had that gene in me. And I just knew at a very early age. That was what I was going to do my life. We hear so much about young athletes figuring out their skill set at a young young age at like three, four five, and to see that art is very similar as interesting for those who don't know the story Bruce is the owner of Salzburg Media Fine Arts, a broad range of professional sports team three. Of National. International athletes he got three D work of Rafa. Nadal for those are not watching this on video. It's behind him, but it's also going to be a link in our episode information. He's also got artwork of Muhammad. Ali Michael Jordan Prince. Fielder Dirk Nowitzki. Irk Nowitzki I'm not a basketball person. I'm sorry. Most importantly. It's the tennis painting that we're really here to talk about, and it's Three D. art, so I want to start with what is three art. What's the process for making an artwork like this before we get into the Roth story? This was very unique idea. That I came up with lean back in nineteen, ninety five, I was doing my very first art show at the New York our next on back in those days that was the largest art show in the world. Everything was painter of any place anywhere was there exhibiting in was at the Jacob Javits in New York City, so as massive and I back then you the jury to get in so jury to get an shared a booth with another artist, and when I was there, all brought was abstract paintings on canvas, because that's what I was painting at the Time Big Love Klee Miro. Picasso, that was kind of backroom basically, and we've been in the show for five days and insult. Damn painting and I told. My My. Fiance at the time in my mom was there with me. I gotTa Take I. Just need to go walk the show and I said. You know if I'm going to do anything in my life I've got to figure out how to do something that no one has ever done and for some reason and it's time. My Dad owned art gallery. Very very successful one back in San Francisco. East Bay and I just something popped in my head. work on glass. Just a glass on the second I got home I started Phil around layers of plexiglas and low and behold. That's how it was born I. Just we just figured out how to frame it how to do the whole thing in. One, doing where usually as an artist you paying on one level is a canvas most most of the time. You're just doing everything on that level of what I wanted to do with cigarette how to take a look at an image of a painting in break it up and put different parts of each of painting on glass, and then use spicer's to separate them, so there's space in between each layer. You get that natural three d look with no gimmicks, no anything no lighting. It's all based on different layers and different perspectives, so that's how it was born and. The risk on history.

Chapman University removes posters of 'The Birth of a Nation'

"In the history of cinema. The birth of a nation is considered a landmark of technical achievement and d w Griffith's nineteen fifteen movie with its heroic depiction of the Ku Klux Klan is also an enduring symbol of racism of vintage poster and an advertising flyer from the birth of a nation have been on display inside the dodge film school at Chapman university in Orange County. But now following student protests and a faculty vote Chapman has removed the birth of a nation artifacts. Joe replicable is KPCC's Orange County reporter, and she was on the Chapman campus today. She joins us on the line now. So Joe, let's talk first about the posters. What do they look like? And where were they located shares of the main one is a pretty big poster about three feet high advertising. The film to be shown at the Ford theater in Baltimore. It's a really plane post or just the name of the film nothing else. And the next to it is a framed newspaper advertisement about the. Film. Also from that time, and I should say I've only seen photos of both because they were taking down almost immediately following the faculty vote yesterday afternoon. So now, there's just a blank space on the wall. And the spot is kind of in the back up back. Hallway leads to a production studio, it seemed like not a very prominent part of the building. But students told me that they walked by there all the time and that perspective students walked by there on tours of the building because you talk a little bit about the effort to get the posters taken down where did it begin? And what were the students concerns? It's something that some students have been asking for for a long time. I talked to one student J Stayton. He's a junior. He's one of just a handful of black students studying film production at Chapman. And he told me he I e mailed faculty in December twenty seventeen to express his discomfort with the posters. This a reminder that this thing brought back the KKK is or monitor that the white people in the us black phase is just for me. It just reminds me of all those. Races atmosphere that I'm trying to anyway, ignore or pivot. My mindset of so I can pursue my education and not feel insecure. And he said he had a conversation with some faculty members at the time about it. But ultimately nothing was done. And then, you know, the calls have been getting louder from more students in recent years upset about the posters, and then finally a protest was held last week with at least one hundred and fifty students according to the panther. That's the student newspaper and school leaders decided to hold a faculty vote on the matter. And yesterday, the faculty voted to take the posters down Stayton the student that we heard from said he's thrilled that they were finally taken down and really just happy that the student community rallied around the cause. And ultimately that faculty supported them. You said that this protest dates back to 2017, what has the response been from the university, and how has their response evolved. Well, the president wrote an op Ed recently and said he understood the concern. Turns with the film itself. But he talked about the film's placed in history, and some of the techniques that were very of on guard at the time that were used and felt like it was something that needed to be part of visual history. And he basically said that he he wasn't going to take them down. And then the president decided that if the faculty voted to take them down. He would follow the faculties recommendations, and they had a couple of options is that right, right? So the options were to take it down or to keep it up, but add a plaque putting it into context and explaining why it was on the wall why they had decided to keep it up. There are talk with a Chapman faculty member who joined the protest has name is Ron McCain's he's a professor and a TV writer, and this is why he told us he wanted to join the students realize what the case were hurting the students, you know, and all you know, one color either. Right and. One of two or three laps off of the members and dodge college. And so I know that I'm one of fairy few. So my voice is extremely important spry, especially if I I know navigate academia, so what is the demographic makeup of Chapman. It's predominantly white at the most recent freshman class is just over fifty percent. White black students make up just one point six percent of that class, and it's a small school. So that's just thirty people. You talked to some other students today what were their reactions to the decisions to remove the artwork? Winston student told me he understood why it was up in the first place because it was such a monumental work in film history. But he said he's still glad it was taken down. It was a good decision. Another woman told me that it was about time. She had seen potential students of color and their families lingering in front of the poster during tours and could tell that it was something that made them very uncomfortable and possibly even discouraged some of them from choosing chap. Men oranges predominantly white dodges, very white. And so, you know, we're trying to diversify and it's gonna be hard to do that. If people come in. That's the first thing they see because it's a little discouraging. And that was Hannah Freeman she's a senior and television writing and production. Finally, here's what professor McCann's told us about what it means to him that the birth of a nation artifacts have been removed. It says that speaking that is change batteries. And I think what this shows is that the administration to simply listen to what the students haven't you say in recognize that there was an issue. And there was a d for change. Right. And the fact that changed did happen shows that there's there's ample opportunity hopefully future. And so I feel hopeful you know, that this is this is one step towards lease if university at that, you know, students pillar will be probably attend, but the but also demonstrated love for their school. I know the art were just came down. But it has. There been any talk of what if anything might replace them on the walls. A couple of women told me the rumor is that a poster of Casablanca is going to replace it. But as far as I know that's just a rumor, I'm gonna make another suggestion. I think they should put up a poster for spike Lee's, black
