This after a group of Republican led states said that it would mean extra costs to their states if more migrants are allowed into the country. CBS News legal analyst thane Rosenbaum. The Republican led states that have sought to preserve title 42 as a lawful means to reject migrants who cross the border had to do with the undue burden on governmental services like law enforcement, education, and healthcare. The appellate court rejected that argument by saying that the states took too long before waging this battle. The Supreme Court has issued only a temporary stay. Chief justice Roberts gave the parties involved until 5 o'clock Tuesday evening tomorrow evening to respond that leaves both possibilities that title 42 could end this week or it could stay in place while the court reviews the case.

People who believe they say they want to be free speech absolutists is what Elon Musk calls himself. And at the same time, he'll ban accounts from journalists who ask him tough questions.

Why Was MegaUpload Such a Threat? Kim Dotcom Explains
"I'm curious. I want to get Jack phobic in this. What is it about the website you were running mega upload that was such a threat to the United States government and the regime? One of the real threat was and this is when they got so interested in me when I released a video with a couple of celebrities that were basically singing in the mega upload song with Kanye and Kim Kardashian was in there as well. And I think ten or 12 big a list celebrities were promoting mega upload and the reason for that was because I developed basically a platform where they can cut out the middleman and sell direct to consumers and at that time mega upload already had well over a 180 million registered users. So this would have made a huge difference for the artist selling direct to consumers and basically leaving the labels behind. So it became a major, a major threat to the traditional entertainment industry in the U.S. the Harvey weinsteins of the world would have been really threatened by this.

Jury goes a week with no verdict at Weinstein rape trial

The jury of 8 men and four women are set to return to resume deliberations on Monday morning after going home Friday. They must decide on two counts of rape and 5 other sexual assault counts against the 70 year old former movie mogul. The jurors have had no questions for the court that might provide insight into the status of their work. They've been deliberating for 5 and a half days or about 24 hours total.

"There are so many reporters investigative reporters, other types of journalists and just working folks across this country who do tough jobs with balancing parenting with this work. And I think that what we realized is that I think especially with the issues of sexual harassment and sexual assault. And I think you see this now kind of in the midst of the me too era is that all parents, whether it's parents of daughters, parents of sons, actually feel like that much more committed to this issue because they want to make sure that their kids are growing up in a world with adequate protections and fairness. And so while parenting could feel like a challenge at times, it was also a motivating factor. Jody, you mentioned you've been at the times for a while and you've done a lot of different things. One of them was reporting on the challenges that women who particularly work at hourly jobs like Starbucks have to take care of their children to do basic things like nurse and pump while they're working full time, but you've also been the editor of arts and leisure. You reported on the Obama as you reported on Amazon, was there anything different about this story that from what you had previously done at the paper that sort of made you think, okay, this is something entirely new here, or a particular challenge that you hadn't encountered before? I think what might be surprising is that this investigation felt like something bigger from the beginning, not even really because of Weinstein, but because of the context here in this building, which is that in the spring of 2017, Emily Steele and Michael Schmidt broke the Bill O'Reilly story. They were able to show that O'Reilly and Fox had paid women off for many years to silence accusations of sexual harassment. And then the really astonishing thing is that after we published the story, O'Reilly lost his job and the idea that a figure that powerful could be fired, not because of those allegations because Fox had known about those allegations, but because of public exposure of those allegations was like a real hay wait a minute, moment at the paper and the editors asked a question, the now sounds a little quaint, but they asked are there other powerful men in American life who have covered up stories of abuse and so we worked with a whole team. There were reporters looking at Silicon Valley, Katie benner. There were reporters like Susan chira and Catherine einhorn, did the story about the Ford factory workers. We were making inquiries about academia. We were looking into restaurant workers, and so from the beginning, the focus was really on looking at these issues across industries and also the two words that came up really early in the process were complicity and enablement. The project from the beginning was conceived not as this industry or that industry or this predator or that predator. But there's a structural problem here. There's a systemic problem here. And so even those early first few months of Weinstein investigation always played out in that context in our own building and in our own meetings.

"We wanted to show how painstaking the process is, but the second thing we wanted to show and this became much clearer to us after we saw the impact of the Weinstein story, we wanted to show that facts really can serve as the basis for social change when the Weinstein stories were published, including those by Ronan farrow, so a totally independent publication The New Yorker The New Yorker was doing its own work, also came up with a devastating set of facts. And so the debate afterwards wasn't really about, um, did Harvey Weinstein do anything bad to women do we believe any of this stuff? It was about what sort of reform does our society need. How do we need to change? How do we think about these problems differently? And so what we find hopeful about this book is that we want to show people that even at a time when so much is stuck and when the notion of truth was almost seems to be fracturing, reporting still can make a difference. So Harvey Weinstein, as you alluded to here, he was known widely behind the scenes to be not a good guy.

"And also just the question of complicity, how to individuals and institutions like The Weinstein Company, for example, become complicit in abuse. And so we were just, I think we pretty quickly recognized that there was much more to say and much more to report and that we were still grappling with a lot of questions that needed to be answered. So there were people who would not go on the record for the stories in the paper, but then decided to let you make them public in the book. How hard was it to get them to go on the record and sort of what made them decide to come forward publicly once this was going to be a book. It really varied depending on the situation. I'll give you two super quick examples. Irwin writer Weinstein's former accountant. He worked for him for about 30 years. He was still working for him when he became sort of the deep throat of our investigation. Very early on in the book process, we talked to Irwin about whether he'd be willing to be named, and we wanted to do that not only to kind of show our work and show how this kind of investigation works, but because Erwin story of being a man at that company, seeing glimpses of some wrongdoing, not acting, becoming increasingly concerned, trying to intervene and failing is so key to talking about all these issues about the workplace and what you do if you see something wrong, rowena Chu, who goes on the record for the first time in this book. She's a very sort of central Weinstein victim because there were so much cover up involved in her story. And when we tried to reach her in the summer of 2017, she would not speak to us. She would not answer messages. There's a story in the book of me going to her house and having an incredibly awkward conversation with her husband because he did not know. She had never told him what had happened with Weinstein. So for rowena coming forward was a huge decision, a very careful decision, an emotional decision, and she had to make sure that she was truly ready, even two years after so many Weinstein victims had come forward, and it was really Megan. I think it was only April or May that we got the news that she would be fully on the record in this book. You mentioned getting people to go on the record and that's one of the things that I think has brought about comparisons to all the president's men, which is the TikTok behind the story, how you got people to talk. And I'm curious going back now to your initial reporting. How hard was it to get people to go on the record to begin with? It was extremely difficult. We were up against this kind of cloak of secrecy in Hollywood that had protected Weinstein for years. I mean, people had been in sort of hushed conversations and at parties and in the private of people's homes, people had been whispering about Weinstein and his alleged predation for years. But women were terrified to go come forward with their allegations against him. He was such a powerful broker in Hollywood that people fear that they would be the ones to suffer damage to their careers and reputations if they went on the record. And then we were also up against these secret settlements that have been used to silence not just some of Weinstein's victims, but also victims of sexual harassment and sexual assault around the country.

Let's not forget the fact that Brad Pitt wanted Harvey Weinstein when Harvey made a play for Gwyneth Paltrow or some kind of shit in Brad Pitt, let him know. Even Ben Affleck, let him know, this shit doesn't wash with me. So the stories were out there and guys like Quentin Tarantino would have heard that more than me, but you know, look, I understand, look, you do this to me, you're not gonna get this movie. I never heard actresses talking like that. You know, Quentin said he heard, don't get in the back of a limo with this guy. Courtney Love said something to that effect on the red carpet one day. But it's funny. My girlfriend, the girlfriend, will tell me, no, no, I even heard that stuff, and I wasn't even there, but I heard it. And I'm like, I don't know what to tell you.

Or else, I would have done what Quentin Tarantino said he would have done. Like I did for Harvey when I found out he was banging some girl in England and, you know, cheating on his first wife. I would have said, hey, boss. Because there was no reason not to call him Boston. He wasn't, you know, condemned yet. I was a boss. I don't know what's going on, but here's what I hear. There's a story out there that you're raping chicks. I'm going to put it right in his lap. Not to threaten him that I was going to write the story, but I want to, like I said here, here's this bomb diffusing. It's out there.

I don't believe it. And some people will tell you when did Paltrow's father was a top director. And her mother, Blythe Danner, was a star. But the person who went to Weinstein about his behavior toward her was Brad Pitt. Who was a born fan at the time. So how can people not know about this guy doing that shit? So you know Quentin Tarantino was on the front lines. I think he's full of shit when he talks about this. He's making excuses for why he didn't stand up like a real man and confront Harvey.

Is Jenifer Seibel Newsom Really Any Different Form Harvey Weinstien?
"Misses Newsom struggles to balance her need for access to power and the price it carries. That's it. Period end of story. Not once did I hear her say to testimony that she said, stop? I never heard you say she attempted to get away. No, because she was still thinking about what she could get out of Harvey Weinstein if he stopped and if she let him rape her and maybe if she made pleasurable noises, he's a pig for sure. But sell us some of these women. You know, it seems that Newsom's wife had sex to get a project done and make money and her project failed and now she sees another way to make money. In my mind, she's no different than Weinstein, just not as smart. And her husband's no different. By the way, as a woman, never would I ever associate with my rapist never. I understand if an incest victim does it or children do it because they can't leave home, but a grown-up, no. Anyone doing that is so suspect. I don't want to blame any rape victims because saying no should be enough. But I can't help but wonder why they all allowed themselves into these dangerous situations. They knew it was reputation for this sort of behavior. I would never go to someone's hotel room or a house along without knowing them or having someone with me. Married women, you got to be even more cautious and never allow yourself to be alone with another man, aside from your family. If you don't put yourself in potentially dangerous or compromising situations, you don't have to worry about what might happen. So is it worth the traumatic experience for an acting gig? That never came? She must have known. Otherwise, why would she have contacted him in 2007 when her then boyfriend, his scandal broke that he had a drunken in office affair with the wife of his best friend and campaign manager. That was ten years before the news stories broke about Weinstein and me too. She must have known that Weinstein had been putting out fires in the press for years about his sexual misconduct, but here's some irony. You want irony? She's crying about being a crime victim. Yet her husband is handing out, get out of jail free cards to everybody in California. I guess it's only an actual prime if the governor or his wife says it is. Then if the hearing a lot of testimony against Harvey the last three years methinks heart rate allegations are highly suspect.

I heard a lot of girls said that Harvey just wanted to touch their body and masturbate. I guess when he couldn't get erect, that's what he could do. I don't know. It's just so sad and gross. So the DA asked her to describe his physique as if nobody in the courtroom could tell. And she said, lots of bruises, markings, yellow, and green. Lots of stretch marks on his belly. Very not physically fit at all. You don't need, you don't need 6 words to say out of shape, honey, but whatever. Lots uncircumcised and strange, though, kind of fish like the penis, something was distorted in the testicles too. Lots of skin, lots of skin down there. I'm sorry, but he's still going steady?

You get by single file down the center of the roadway once you get past 28 all things open up and you should be good headed through manassas.

If you're headed northbound on 28, you will not be able to access 66 eastbound, you'll be forced to head westbound or my suggestion, go ahead and use 29 to access 66 east from there, should be relatively easy workaround. Otherwise, eastbound 66 looking good towards the bellway I 95, three 95 up to speed and beltway traffic in Virginia, looking pretty good. In the district so far, southeast southwest freeway, third street tunnel looking all right. Bladensburg road at the intersection of New York avenue, little crowded, but pretty usual for this time of night, not seeing any reports of accidents scenes or anything. Northbound BW Parkway, a little slow past four ten, looking at the camera there, just looks like volume, people taking it nice and slow, it is wet out there, of course, mind your braking distance.

Larry elder remains the favorite in the opponents field but recent polling shows that new some will probably remain in office. The election grew out of frustrations with newsome's pandemic orders that closed schools and businesses. For months and elders camp has recently been trying to distract from on field politics. He was joined by activist and former actress. Rose mcgowan on sunday. She was one of the earliest women to accuse. Producer harvey weinstein of sexual misconduct. And she now says that newsome's wife jennifer siebel. Newsom tried to convince her in twenty seventeen not to go public with allegations zoos about me projects and nationalize when she says invoice shoulder to make you happy so i sent my other contact and on behalf of attorney voice who's harvey weinstein's lawyer and call rose mcgowan and said what can we do to make you all way. What can we do to make this. Happy all to be talking between now and the end of my campaign. Newsom is denying that calling them part of a politically driven hit piece. So i guess. They are doing a last-minute minute classic piece a she's a big promoter of larry elder. Apparently rose is identifying with him over us and is been making some pretty outrageous and absolutely Foundation this accusations against my wife and that just shows you how low Things go in campaigns these days.

"Well with Larry Elder and I was telling him about the Washington Post Series of lies about him in their supposed fact Checker in Washington Post's desecrates the word journalism. So, Larry, you were going to give me an example when we have to take a break. Yes. Speaking of journalism, you know, Dennis, one of the many allegations made against me that I just like women. Because of an article that I wrote 21 years ago where I was quoting a study by the Annenberg School of Journalism, and that's quoting of left wing professor and there was an allegation made against me that I denied that I engaged in domestic violence, but Story ran with it. The political ran with at CNN ran with it. There was headlines for several days now. Just yesterday, Dennis Rose McGowan, the actress who says her career was destroyed because she refused to sleep with Harvey Weinstein, and it's largely responsible for why Harvey Weinstein is basic. Several rape charges. Just yesterday, she said that Gavin Newsom's wife called her six months before the story blew up on behalf of Harvey Weinstein lawyer and said, How can we make this story go away? Now, Dennis, I don't know whether it's true or false. But, you know, you know my girlfriend, Nina. Imagine if somebody alleged that Nina called Rose McGowan six months before the Harvey Weinstein blew up. Called on behalf of horribly Weinstein's lawyer and said, quote. How can we make this story go away would be the front page everywhere beyond political that would be on CNN and we know political has the story they've written. Not one word about it. The only outlet has written about this is real clear politics Now again, I'm not sure whether or not it's true, but it would be a bombshell is true. If Gavin Newsom's wife called Rose McGowan, six months before the story blew up on behalf of Harvey Weinstein lawyer and said, How can we make the story go away? That's already talking about that's all I would be talking about between now and the Election Day dinner. But tweet fell in the forest and didn't make a sound. This is a kind of double standard that I've been putting up with ever since I've been running By the way, your comments again. I follow it all your comments about women. As you point out, you were citing a study that women On on a knowledge test of current affairs. New less on average than men. Now, so for that you have been attacked as a misogynist. The which is evil. The attack is vile. Listen to this again. Uh, I have more time to do research than you will constantly on the road. Governor Newsom. This is from Red State. Yesterday. Governor Newsome recently gave a virtue signaling speech in which he lavished praise on women for being better than men at everything, quote. Women are smarter in politics. Smarter in civics. They're smarter and economics, women rule. Now. I don't care if he says that, But why isn't he a male hater? What a lot of a man had said or a woman. Men are smarter in politics, Smarter and civic, smarter and economics Men rule. That would be the end of the person's career. So you can say anything about men and nothing about women. Well, it's also condescending. I mean the average IQ of a man at 100. The average I Q of a woman is 100. He's pandering. He's pushing the narrative that Larry hates women. On the other hand, I love women. I adore women, said Gavin Newsom. In fact, I think women are superior demand. Why shouldn't he resigned in in a point of female to take his job? I'll give you another double Standard Dennis Front page article in The New York Times all about me, All of it is negative. Never once mission in my race, never once mentioning that I would be the first black governor of California dentist, you know me. I never made a big deal out of this. I have no one people to vote for me because I'm black or give me because I'm black. And frankly, after we've had a black president, as far as I'm concerned, everything else is anti climactic. But on the very same newspaper front page across the page. Is a big article about the first female governor of New York. A woman who became governor only because Cuomo resigned shouldn't even run and get elected. But that was a big deal because he had a D at the end of her name. I have an art in in my name, and I'm no longer black. That's exactly right. So You know, I like the big questions so Your experience. With the media. Has that confirmed what you believed prior or have you learned anything? New? No, it just confirmed it. I knew it was going to be nasty. I knew was going to be vicious and the degree of viciousness corresponds with how effective I am as a politician and the likelihood that I'm going to win and I knew that once I scared once I break this It's tied that they have over black and brown voters, largely because of the issue of small choice. I knew they were going to come at me with a vengeance. So nothing has surprised me. Absolutely nothing and people have asked me Do I regret running? Not one moment, Dennis. Not one moment. I believe I can do something about the crime. I can do something about homelessness. I can do something about the decline of the quality of education. I can do better Forest management. I can stop these rolling brown out. I believe I have ideas, and I've met experts up and down the state who I'm going to appoint and powerful position and I'm going to turn this around, and it's every bit worth it. Bless your soul, so I want to remind everybody in California. That we have until Tuesday to vote on the recall. That's the key because everybody knows that if Gavin Newsom has recalled Larry Elder would be governor. So the key is to vote Yes. On the recall. It is one of the most important votes in modern American history. And what about what about helping you out financially is it's still important. Are still very important. He's raised about 75 million Most people bleeding, but it's been about 100 million from the usual suspects. The teachers, unions, the public sector unions, Hollywood and Big tech. And Barack Obama just cut a commercial for him. Bernie Sanders cut a commercial point there to Warren did and Dennis noticed in any of those commercials. You never heard the following words, Gavin Newsom. Done a good job, right? California Never heard. Yes, here is a takeover. But you've never heard Gavin Newsom has done a good job for the people of California. So please go to elect elder dot com So lose something in the tip jar. Let's try and make this a fair fight.
