"Special shout outs to KW who keeps everything and has boxes and boxes of material in its place, but also Sandra gin, a television journalist at the time who did a documentary 1983 about the case. It ended in his release, but she kind of continued sort of following the story and interviewing to also over the years. She and KW both did that and that kind of gave us this framework for being able to tell and the material to be able to tell the story of his entire life. Which was just so crucial to really being able to tell the child to only story at all. So if it wasn't for everything that they had done, we wouldn't have a film because we wouldn't have any archival material to work with. I guess that's sort of the thing. For material to become archival, someone has to decide to archive it. And this gets back to why it's so important for our community to be able to have these opportunities to tell our stories because we, in our community, understand what are important stories like before outsiders might and each individual had sort of made that decision to save this material. So without all of that work that they had done, you wouldn't have a film at all. Before we get too far ahead, I realized there's going to be people listening to this who are not familiar. I mean, they're going to be a lot of people who listen to this who aren't familiar with the case at all. So maybe we could go over some of the sort of basic facts of the case itself in the situation that Chelsea Lee found himself in. Yeah, so Chelsea Lee was a Korean immigrant in the 1970s in San Francisco. Who went to prison for a murder he didn't commit. There was a Chinatown, a lot of violence in Chinatown at the time in San Francisco and he was essentially mistaken for a Chinese gangster and put in prison for that and convicted. The case would sort of be unearthed by KW Lee who realized that he saw the brief and Chelsea as an extremely common Korean name. So he realized that there might be something happening here in terms of a Korean involved in the Chinatown murder case and the unlikeliness that that might be there. So he investigated on his own time and was able to write this series of landmark stories just that really kind of went into tofu's background as well as the case. And from there, that launched this movement that would span 6 years to work to free him as Julie mentioned, you know, it sort of united older generation Korean immigrants with younger, very radicalized, very left wing, Asian American activists, some names that folks might be familiar with like Warren for a tiny and people like that who are kind of these towering figures in Asian American history. To work together on his behalf and after 6 years of concerted efforts and fundraising they were able to get him out. But our film also explores what happens after the victory, the sort of incredible moment. And all the difficulties that Chelsea really had once he was out. We just felt it was really important to include all that material because again, you can't tell the choice to be story without sort of really digging into a lot of the more difficult parts of the story as well. I think that one of the things which the case really holds up is that some of the things that we talk about a lot of this podcast, right?

"He responded back. Hi, Candice possible. I could have worded things better, but then you didn't really ask for input, I guess. Obviously, I'm not into reigning on someone's parade. And we're all in different places. I think in some respects, I've been down the road you're on. I don't think my issue has ever been editing. It's getting it right to start with in the camera. Most are not able to do that well, but you did on these images. That should be applauded. Create what makes you happy. I've always done that, but I can look back at images from 5 years ago and wonder what I was thinking. In my mind or my intent it was to say maybe I can help him not go through that duration or whatever. Main thing is you're on a good track. Keep attention on the sharpness and the post can take care of itself. However you want it to be. Best wishes to you. I really appreciated his privately reaching out to me. And I posted a response on the thread that reflected our mutual understanding and appreciation. Truth be told, I do get where he's coming from. I'd even wondered if I'd taken my sharpening too far as I was editing those images. As I mentioned the rest of that batch, I've even dialed it back a bit.

Pastor Ock Soo Park Explains Why Many Christians Misunderstand the Faith
"That many Christians have this deep misunderstanding of the faith that it's about what you do or you don't demand? The reason is really simple. It is because they do not look at the Bible closely. If you use in chapter two, four, by grace, are you saved through faith? And it is not of works. It is the gift of God. It says. But people's thinking is different from gods. Because we are people are thinking itself is based on us doing something I'm working, and even faith in God. People think I have to be good. And try and labor. People have fallen into such kind of thinking. And when I read the Bible. I was able to completely break free from that. It is not my words. It is grace. And in 2012, I went to Ghana, Africa. And I had an opportunity to meet with the presidents there and speak with me. President John atta mills have gone on. And this is what he said to me. I have a terrible sickness. I think at most I have 5 more days to live. But I'm afraid. I have sins. And I asked him. Your excellency, how did you know that you're a sinner? Well, I commit since therefore I'm a sinner on time. I told him not so. He was stunned. And I asked him. In which countries tell you what does the sinner get to judge his own sin? Have you ever seen God's judgment statement about your sins, your experience? Do you think where is it? It's in the Bible. Would you like to see it? He said, yes, I do. Rome has found it. I read some Romans after three verse 23. For all I've seen that come short of the glory of God. That's what it says in verse 23. But in the first 24, it's amazing. Being justified. 50 years on the redemption in Christ, Jesus. The amazing thing is that many Christians Hamilton use hundreds of everybody knows Romans three 23. But then nobody knows where it's 24.

How Pastor Ock Soo Park Came to Know Jesus
"It is my privilege today in the studio to have a real father in the faith with us. His name is pastor aksum. Park. He's been an evangelist and pastor since 19 62. Which is before I was born. So I've got a lot to learn. Pastor park, welcome to this program. Yes, very nice to meet you. I'm so happy to be here. I'm thrilled to have you here and I'm dying to know your story. Can you tell us how you were raised and how you came to faith and got in the minutes? I was born in 1944. And in 1950, there was a big war in Korea. Never heard of it. In 1951, my mother passed away. And afterwards, I went through a lot of difficulties. My big brother went to the army. And my father was out at the world providing home. Overnight, the three grown-ups of my family were gone. My biggest sister was 15. Other sister was 13. And I was 8. My little brother was four. And we lived like beggars. We had no idea what we were to eat. How did it sound? And I woke up one morning because I heard a strange sound. And it was my big sister. She was crying so sad. Study by herself. And oftentimes we would get up in the middle of the night and cry together. We were very hungry and cold. And as I got older, because I was very hungry, I started stealing. Read about that beautiful I would go to the wheat farms cut off the wheat and eat them. The potatoes in it. Apples and steel fruits from the top. But because I attended church, I was so tormented by this. Every day I begged for forgiveness. I thought I'm so simple. I must be going to hell. But God did something very precious to me because in 1962 when I was 19. All my paths before me had been blocked. I applied to go to the army. But I was disqualified because my front tooth was chipped. I had no hope whatsoever. And from then on, I wanted to go out more to the lord. And I begged them beg for my sins to be forgiven. I was so sinful. I believe I was going to hell. But one day in my heart, I don't have kids. I was praying asking for forgiveness. But I had this heart a little bit that my sins are forgiven. And from then on, I began to read the Bible.

We had him on talking about his new book. Today, a few minutes ago, we spoke to our friend David engelhardt. Folks. He's a big deal. I'm reading his book, good kills, and it's incredible. Good, kills. Great. And he has a church here in New York City. So yes, we are really blessed to have a lot of great guests and stuff. But I wanted to read, we're always looking for time. People write things to us. And we don't get to read. We read every single one of them, but we don't get to read them aloud on the year, except right now I'm going to read one aloud. This was so sweet. The subject line, this is a Debbie from Kuna Idaho, Debbie. Yes, from Kuna Idaho. She says the subject line of her email is Johns merak and Eric. And she writes Eric, you and John are the best. Your interviews with John are motivating and a true blessing to me because of you. I read the stream every day and send support to the stream too. Now the stream the stream is stream dot org, John's writes an essay a day every Monday through Friday for stream dot org. His stuff is so magnificent and he is so magnificent that we're privileged to have him on this program once a week. But when we get letters like this, we appreciate it. This lovely woman a Debbie from Kuna Idaho continues. She says, because of you, Eric, I purchased nutrimetics products, smart move because they are great products, new traumatic dot com ex dot com. You just go Derek. And she says, and I have bought this hilarious. I bought way too many pillows sheets tells, et cetera from Mike lindell used to code Eric and she purchased in red four of your books and I'm so thankful for your dedication to truth and our lord Jesus praying for you that God continues to lead you in truth, our lord reigns. Listen, that's great. Folks. It is such an encouragement to us to get notes like this. I want to thank Debbie specifically, but I want to say thanks to all of you who write to us. The encouragement means a lot. As you know, we're going through a crazy season in America and we've never been through anything like this before. You have, one thing that is happening right now in America, which is healthy, is people have learned to distrust most of the people who put themselves out as authorities. So when a governmental leader speaks the governor speaks, people have been forced to think for themselves because most of these leaders are, I always want to think of the intellectual word, bums. They're bums. They do not represent the people who elected them. They do not seem to understand the constitution. They are horrible leaders, but the good news is that Americans are waking up to this. And by the grace of God, they're going to make their feelings known at the poll the next time they go to the polls, they can make their feelings known similarly medical professionals. We start to see that this is the old case, like the boy who cried wolf. If you lie a couple of times, or if you're caught shading the truth, you lose credibility. And then the next time you speak and say, you must get the vaccine, people are going to say, I don't think so. I'm not going to listen to you. You're the one that told me cigarettes were good for my health in 1950 because I have the old magazines. Listen, we're going to start thinking for ourselves. That's healthy. Now, we're not talking about sheer individualism that hey, everybody's got their own truth. No, clearly, the idea that you're supposed to question authority. That's a good idea. It doesn't mean you question authority endlessly or you question the concept of authority. If somebody speaks with authority and is speaking the truth and you can trust them, that's a good thing. But a lot of these folks have undermined themselves and the institutions for which they speak. And I'm telling you, Americans are onto it. And this is going on all across Europe as well. This is healthy. This leads to actual democracy, actual self government and freedom. So let's see. And speaking of freedom, if we can talk about this, this is the last day and over the weekend to donate to CSI Christian solidarity international. If you want to free a slave for $250, do it. This is the weekend to do it. Don't forget, do something, give something, $20, $50. Talk about a great segue. Folks, this is it. This is the last exit before the toll. We want everyone who listens to the program to go to metaxas talk dot com. You should go there anyway. You can listen to this program live 24/7 actually. It's in a loop. So if you want to listen to the program, you can go to Texas talk dot com and listen to it anytime, or you can get the app. But when you go there, the banner for CSI is still up. They extended the fundraise. Lives will be affected. By what you do today, I want to encourage you, God can use you right now.

In the past year as you'll have Not about hamilton necessarily but zoom conversations. And it's always about that gas over right. That's all sort of common question and happy for people who haven't seen hamilton to show ends kind of weirdly nut with like a big musical. Whatever but with your character The onstage.

Well you know people don't like this answer but it's true because it's the theater which is different. It was different every day is different every show. I mean i really yeah it was. It was different every show. I mean sometimes like you know there'd be like a a week where i feel like i would be exploring the idea of like looking out and seeing something you know very tangible like like seat like seeing like You know the orphanage or seeing like all the things that i've been talking about like in the past song that i've been singing and then sometimes it was a little bit more Figurative like looking into the future or you know was it ever something mundane like you finish this big musical. And you're like oh god. I left the oven. I thought i thought you were gasping. At madonna on her cell phone she she came to the show and right and would spend the whole time on her cell.

And that's like was really You know fun for him to know and for me. I wasn't really a fan of knowing who is out there. Because i didn't want to make myself more scared about doing the entirety of hamilton. That i already was so long. So i was like no. Don't tell me who's out there. But i know i could see people's faces like when somebody special was there you gotta be able to see beyond say in the crowd like there's no way you cannot. Well she does glow yes she and she floats through mid air. You gotta be able to see beyond that single stream of light. That just comes down from the sky on her. Always that could have motivated the gasp every night. yeah is beyond saying. I have a question and i'll preface it by saying that i am one. I'm being hamilton fan. But as the recipient of worship do we hamilton fans ever sometimes get annoying. Be honest while she's taking a long time to answer definitely pregnant phone. No i think people get excited about a story. I mean that's so awesome. I guess it could get annoying. If like somebody like tried to like scare me on the street and they just start seeing like the schuyler sisters like guest out. That would be kind of annoying but ultimately like the the fans have been so sweet and so nice and just like excited and just like the you know. It's just the nfl really young too.

Any voice from our show you might use and your voice mail you ready to go. I'm all set all right. Here is your first quote. I think the democrats what they're doing. I pray the democrats know what they're doing. That was a texan quoted in the guardian talking about how democratic lawmakers in texas managed to prevent voter suppression bill from passing this week simply by doing what by leaving the state by running away. That's exactly right forty. Six democratic lawmakers fled texas to prevent the statehouse from having a quorum echoing the thousands of democrats who had previously fled texas because it was texas now to be honest. Running is just not the texas way. The texas way is to trap yourself inside a small fortune get slaughtered so that someday it can be a weirdly disappointing tourist attraction. So what you're saying is running. Away is not the solution to my problems. I feel like you guys are seeing. How good this is a worked for. Eugene yeah yeah. So far works. Great so far so far has worked for the democrats. They jumped on this charter plane. And they went to dc. That shows seriously are nobody goes to dc july and and this is all true because in a picture of them on the bus from the airport someone saw a case of miller lite. Obviously that was a plan if it was really something the democrats brought it would be like. A case of mike's soft lemonade. He's explain this to me so it the reason why they fled is because if they're not there the rest of the state house can't vote on this thing the only way the democrats could stop it because all republicans are voting for an mba outnumber the democrats in the texas state. Legislature is to leave so that there is no quorum. Now one reason they went to dc. Is that texas has no legal jurisdiction there because the governor of texas. Who very much wants to pass. This law could have sent texas state troopers to their house to grab them and bring them to the house. That's the most texas thing i ever heard you. Either come or we will bring you. We will send chuck norris he exactly so the texas legislature is is very limited in terms of its time it's part time legislature. So the the right now. They're in a special session. Called by the governor the last through august so they've to stay away through august but the governor says that as soon as they come back he will call another special session until this thing is passed so basically there in exile in the ideas. Well you can't stay away from home. I mean you know you can't live in a hotel away families. I'm a stand up. Comic began. Expect wait so they all have part. Time jobs like they. They're all like pool cleaning or yeah weirdly. They're all cleaners. i it's interesting texas democrats. There are other job. They're all outdoor piano players. In austin i think.

How to communicate complex technical topics with Anna Skoulikari
"So you didn't always have a technical background and now you literally have a job explaining very very technical things. Tell us about your journey. Where does it start for you. So i think my journey into the tech space starts off in london when i was living there and i ended up doing a u x boot camps or user experience design boot camp and that was where i learned how to design digital interfaces so mobile apps websites and that was kind of manage reduction into getting hard skills and getting into the space of tech and the ended up working as a designer in london and after a while working as designer got really curious about coding. Because i really felt like as a u x designer. You're kind of architect. You can create the blueprint of what a digital product is gonna look like so what a app. What's gonna look like what you're not the construction company. You're not the one that gets lukman and actually builds the thing. So i got really curious about. How are these things that we're designing actually built so basically after that curiosity piqued and i ended up moving to barcelona and when i moved here i decided to study coding so i went to coding bootcamp. And that's where. I really got technical skills and where i i learned to code so tell me a little bit more about the. Us tax experience. What tools do you work with with you as if you're not necessarily coating but you're still working on products. What does that role look like. What tools are using that picture for me so in you ex design. You're going to be using some sort of software or to create your digital designs or often called wire frames. At the time. I had learned sketch. Honestly it's the world of tax. So i'm sure that there's like a jillian new tools that have been created the main thing in user. Experience design is about thinking from the user's point of view and having empathy for the user and thinking about how you can design a digital experience. That's going to be smooth and user friendly and tell me more about boot camp. What was that experience like for you. That was really crazy experience. Because if somebody had asked me five years ago whether i would learn to code i would tell them like no way. Why would i learn to code. I remember actually being younger. When i was twenty one one summer i was working in a startup accelerator. And i remember at the time i would meet a lot of people that worked in startups that needed developers. And so whenever people would come up to me and say i don't know what to study. I don't know what to do. I would say studied computer. Science study coding. I just know that there's so many jobs out there for developers but whenever they would ask me like why. Aren't you studying. Coding out saying well you know. My mind doesn't work like that. I wouldn't be able to do that. So when i did move to barcelona and decided to do this. Coding bootcamp it was kind of a big personal development journey for me to make my fear of something unknown and uncertain and to just learn something new that had previously never thought you know would be something i would ever attempt. What made it so scary for you. I think it was just that. I had no idea what to expect and that i'd never attempted to learn something that technical so it was just the fear of the unknown. I think yeah. I totally appreciate that. So you have an interesting perspective because you've done both the signed the us side of things and you've actually built product and then the coding tell me about those two worlds and where they intersect. How do those jewels come together for you. And how does having know both sides of the story. How has that impacted your technical skills so go soo worlds. Come together for me in my first job working as a developer after the whitcombe so after my quitting bootcamp i ended up getting a job working as a front end developer in a company here in barcelona and while working in that job i realized that i had to really understand how to use get version control. Basically for anyone that doesn't know get is the way that coders track the versions of their project. And it's the technology that they used to collaborate with developers. And i was terrified of get. I had learnt the basics sort of at my quitting boot bootcamp. But it's when. I arrived at my job and i realized that i didn't really understand how it worked. And whenever i had to do something that i thought was complicated using it i was terrified and i thought that i was going to destroy the repository so i always had a call on the senior developers to come help me and at some point i realized okay. I want to face this fear. This fear i have get so i decided to really master it and to really learn it really well what i realized then was that the way that it was taught online was not really user friendly to people coming into tech from non technical backgrounds and that i myself could actually teach the topic in a much simpler and more human understandable way so i ended up creating this online course teaching get. It was just this creative idea that came to me and i thought okay. I should do this. Because i can help. So many other junior developers or other people that need us get that aren't extremely technical to learn it in a much easier way than than my journey had been so i created this online course. And that's where i feel like my technical background and then my communication skills just came together. What happened was i put that course on me so to me as an online course platform and it became a highest rated course on you me. And that's what. I realized that using that skill of thinking of things from the user's perspective and having empathy for people and thinking about how you can explain things in the most simple and tangible way was really helpful in explaining technical concepts. So that's kind of how those two worlds together dot experiences sort of. What led me into the next chapter of my journey where i decided to enter the space of tech communication and tech education. So tell me about what you're doing. Now you have this background. He have this developer background. You created this really incredible really popular course and today you're technical writer. Tell me a little more. About what a technical writer is. And how all those experiences impact what you do today so a technical writer honestly. It's a job title. That can vary extremely from one company to another. It's not something that is extremely while defined so in my case technical writer is writing developer documentation of documentation even support documentation like articles. But you can talk various other technical writers and they may do completely different things but for me. Technical writing is just a way for me to combine my tech background with my communication skills. And i've always been a writer. I really love writing. It's the way that i can express myself the best. I'm actually also a life long journalist. I've been journaling for the last ten years so writing is a really big part of my life. So it's really cool that now. I've found a way to merge my love of writing with my ability to communicate technical concepts into my job. So you wrote or created. I guess this course get learning journey guide to learning git version control on you to me that you mentioned earlier. So let's get into what is get and How did you make this course yes. Basically get is a version control system and it's basically a program that you download onto your computer and you use it in order to keep track of all the versions of your projects and also to collaborate with other developers and it's really important and the really cool thing about it. Is that actually almost anyone that writes code uses it so it's not just something that a back end developer or front end developer uses. Its for data. Scientists data analysts. Anybody that writes code and that needs to keep track of all the versions of their code can use it and not even just developers also technical writers use so it's something that kind of is a shared experience among a lot of people in the tech world in terms of how i got started to actually build the course in the beginning. I thought that i would have to learn this really complicated animation software in order to make videos. I'd never made of course before. I'd never even explored how people make online courses. So what i ended up doing was at the time i was working as a front end developer and as part of a new product i was working on. I had to learn view. So view is Front dan framework or fronted library that developers use. It's like react. Is another one. And i learnt reacting my boot camp but i had to learn view and i really love the online courses. That view mastery. Had so what i did. Was i contacted the people that work of you mastery. I contacted adam jar. And i asked him. What do you guys use or to make your online courses. And he told me we use keynotes. And that's when. I realized i don't need to learn some really complicated animation software in order to make my online course. I don't have any excuses for procrastinating. Start creative project. Actually all i need to do is to start using keynote and keno animations and with that i can build an online course so i started making one presentation her lesson and it was all just me hacking away working with these keynote presentations and then preparing lessons and recording. My voice teaching these lessons so it was really just knee on my own doing the bare bones version of an online course and just figuring out how it could present things on the screen in a simple way and honestly my main principles that i tried to stick with wasn't minimalism. So keep things as simple as possible and consistency

With 'Raya,' Disney has their biggest animated action hero to date — and yes, she's still a princess
"Chang says the new Disney film Riot, and the last Dragon is not just for kids. He calls it a gorgeously animated fantasy adventure with a hopeful message. For this moment, the movie began streaming on Disney plus today. Ryan and the last Dragon is the lovely moving surprise. Its big selling point is that it's the first Disney animated film to feature Southeast Asian characters. Like so many movies that break ground in terms of representation, it tells a story that's actually woven from reassuringly familiar parts. Didn't mind that in the slightest. The movie directed by the Disney veteran Don Hall and the animation newcomer Carlos Lopez. Estrada brings us into a fantasy world that's been beautifully visualized and populated with engaging characters. And it builds to an emotional climax that I'm still thinking about days later. Story is a little complicated as these stories tend to be It takes place in command Ra and enchanted realm inspired by various Southeast Asian cultures and divided into five kingdoms, named after a dragon's body parts heart Thing, spine, Talyn and tail. Before they became extinct centuries ago. Dragons once roamed the land and served as friendly guardians to humanity. Their magic lives on in a Jule called the Dragon Gym, which is kept in a cave in the heart, but the other four kingdoms covet. It's mighty powers. One day all five factions come together and try to reach a peace agreement. But tensions erupt. Ah fight breaks out, and the gem shatters into five pieces that are scattered across come, Andhra. This opens the doorway to an ancient enemy called Bedroom, a terrible plague that turns people to stone. Actually, a hero must rise and save the day. Her name is Ryan. And she's a young warrior princess from heart voiced by the excellent Kelly Marie Tran from Star Wars. The last Jedi. I Ryan manages to escape the drone, though her father, her body whose leader of heart isn't so lucky. Now Ryan must recover the pieces of the Dragon Jim, reverse the damage and banished that room for good. This is the first time we've seen a brave young character embark on a quest for magical bottles. And Ryan and the last Dragon is rooted in traditional fantasy lore with the Lord of the Rings and game of Thrones being just the most obvious influences. Movies, Intense scenes of sword play and hand to hand combat. Give it a tougher, more grown up field and most Disney animated fantasies. My own young daughter had to cover her eyes a few times. Some other recent Disney princesses, including marijuana, and Elsa Ryan has a bold, adventurous streak and isn't all that interested in romance? Unlike them, she doesn't even have time to sing a song. That said the movie still has plenty of lightness and humor. Screenwriters. Quick win and Adele Limb have provided the usual Disney array of cute critters and lively supporting characters. None of them is more colorful than see Soo Ah friendly water Dragon who is magically resurrected during riots journey. She's the last of her kind, and she has a crucial role to play in the story. She's voiced delightfully by Aquafina doing one of her signature chatterbox comedy routines and selling everyone of ceases and naturalistic wisecracks. In one scene, she touches a piece of the dragon Jim and magically Lights up. Which riots sees as a hopeful sign. You were glowing. Oh, thank you. I use Alan Rivers climb. Maintain my know this'd my little sister office magic. I got that glow in your little sister's much jack. Yet. Every dragon has a unique magic. Okay, What's yours? I am a really strong swimmer. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You touch this gym piece, and it gave you powers. You know what this means? Right? I no longer need a night light. What? No, you're still connected to the jumps. Magic, not means you can still use it to save the world. If we can get all the other Jen pieces, you can reassemble it and, well, the drooling away. And bring my bar back and bring all of commander back Ryan and sees his journey takes them toe. All five kingdoms of command ra all of which are so vivid and transporting, I found myself wishing they really existed. More than I could have at least seen them on a proper movie screen. There's the town of talent, which is built at the edge of a river and the desert wasteland of tail where Ryan and See Soo must enter a cave of obstacles straight out of an Indiana Jones adventure. As the two of them search for more dragon Jim pieces. They, of course, pick up a few friends along the way. There's a street smart boy who cooks a mean shrimp Con ji and a toddler pickpocket, whom I found more creepy than cute. The movie's most intriguing character is no Mari arrival. Princess from Fang, who's voiced by Gemma Chan. As a side note. Chan and Aquafina both appeared in crazy rich Asians, which, like this movie was co written by Adele Limb. Mari and Roya used to be friends until the fight over the dragon Jim rip them apart. Now they're bitter enemies, and their emotional dynamic is fierce and complicated in ways that relationships are rarely allowed to be in Children's animated films, especially between women. Contrast, See, Sue is all feel good vibes. She's a dragon, after all, with little understanding of how treacherous humans can be. She doesn't get by riot and the Mari distrust each other so why they can't just set their differences aside and defeat the drone together. It's Caesar's sincerity and purity of heart. That makes the stories finale so unexpectedly stirring, especially now. Our fates are closely bound together. It reminds us as it builds a case for forgiveness, reconciliation and mutual sacrifice. The emotional power of riot and the last dragon sneaks up on you. Its lessons aren't knew exactly, but it makes you feel like you're learning them for the first time. Justin

Woman beheaded and 2 others killed in knife attack at French church
"The terror attacks have been happening in France. I This was all and we talked a little bit about this yesterday. And we also discussed the teacher who had been beheaded, and this was in northern France because he on the lesson about free speech had actually showed a cartoon of Mohammed in the classroom. And one of the kids, the kids. Parents got mad, and then he ended up being beheaded. So in two other terror attacks at France in the past 24 hours. The first is that the Notre Dame basilica and niece and the second was in Avignon. And a Tunisian, a migrant. 21 year old Brahima Soo. Ah, we beheaded an elderly parishioner and a male church warden. And then he fatally stabbed a third woman. And then two hours later, a guy with a gun screaming Allah Akbar was shot and killed by cops in Avignon. So then there was a guard at the French consulate in Jeddah. Saudi Arabia. He was stabbing wound, stabbed and wounded by a knife. Then two other men were arrested. There was another guy was arrested in Leone. There was another guy's rested elsewhere in France, and this is because Emmanuel Macron defended and I can't believe I'm saying this, but I will give credit where do free speech He defended free speech when in discussing the those the cartoons. He traveled to Nis. And he said it was clear that France is under attack because of our values of freedom and our desire not to give in to terror, he says.

Former Congresswoman Katie Hill Does a Postmortem on a Lost Congressional Seat
"When the news is bad? I know that it is tempting for me to tune out but I also know that sometimes examining bad news and figuring out how to learn from it is a good thing so with that semester. Monaco and I are starting this week. Show with the conversation with former California Representative Katie Hill. Katie resigned from her seat last October and in a special election last week a Republican one bomber. So where do we go from here? Let's ask Katie are welcome Katie Hill. Welcome back to hysteria. We're so happy to have you back. Glad to be back. Thank you first of all. How are you doing man That's like a loaded question. I feel like I'm you know I'm I'm okay. The results the election were pretty horrible. You know in a way it was of what we were expecting. But you obviously didn't ever want and at you know it's just like one thing on top another in life in in figuring a way to get up in Russia yourself off in new forward was I was again when I was a kid. Reverses a still own a horse and the biggest thing that you were taught was being you fall off you get back up and get right back on and that's just kind of against what length is so drilling down into that trauma? A little bit last week was was the special election in California's twenty fifth for everyone listening. What happens and were you surprised when you say what happened do you mean why did we lose or yeah yeah why Jillette. Why did why did why did she was. Yeah well I think the biggest chapter honestly is just people in a special election. Democrats don't show up and you've got the rented. Republican base. That was particularly riled up because of my scandal and excited the opportunity to take a seat back. I mean that was that was literally what they were plotting. They were trying to you. Know to find something they. They found something. They exploited it. They got me to resign and this officers their opportunity to take back. The seat they felt was stolen from them in the first place remember. It hadn't been held by a Republican ever in its current form and they really did not think that it's possible for someone like me. Let alone any Democrats there So I think that they really rallied around this opportunity and from what we know they actually did some very despite the fact that you hear them complain all the time about ballot harvesting. They had some very organized efforts around ballot sting and Them for figuring it out. Because like you know that's to me it's about helping people be a but the churches were really mobilized in getting people to providing drop off centers. And saying that they're gonNA mail to use of swing by the church in you know do it in your car or whatever and we just didn't have something like baton. I think you can also partly attributed to the fact that Democrats were pretty disenchanted by things right. Like you're GONNA be really really frustrated works so barred and felt like you were. Finally I heard over a felt like you were finally represented and have all go away. So quickly is is really disenchanting. Should okay so there was a special election in California's twenty fifth special action in Wisconsin. Seventh both know that these are anecdotal elections in every district is different but you can still kind of extrapolate things on a maybe on a larger scale from this like. Do you think that Democrats should see what happened in your former seat special election as a wakeup call I do. I think that it shows that you remember mine was one of the Houghton quote safest swing seats right. Hillary Clinton when by seven. I want by nine. This isn't one of the seats that should have at risk. So what it means is that you know. Depending on what things are looking like November especially depending on the energy that's coming from rate than district's length. The ones that we flicked that were that were ones that that trump won by sixteen points are really really wants. We need to watch out for so we should give up or stop paying attention to the house just because the Senate is looking like it's within reach or obviously presidency so that to me. The biggest of all first and foremost the second is that as we are adapting to this Nalen strategy. How we doing that right? Field is what has been our strongest most important. Get out the vote effort right and that's modified I don't take. You should give up on it all together. I think they're Balkans Altogether they have they have a different base of people who they can go soo and again reliably that will reliably answer their phones that they can you get to things like drop off ballots churches. But we're GONNA have to modify field programs to to frankly make sure people know how vote by mail. When they have many many of them have never done it before especially in these lower turnout areas of to begin with which are usually the most. Democrats held Katie. Beyond even just in. How do we re engage the Democrats that helped you win by nine points when now they're also facing the pandemic childcare challenges on employment and things that are just like so catastrophic question? I think I am hopeful that the loss actually was a wakeup call for a lot of people might have thought like while the seat will be fine. Now they're like okay. I have really have to bow part of I mean honestly. I think that the the district itself is democratic leaning enough now that if we get to turn out that you know is usually expected in November election. I think she will win. And we saw we saw it happened with the ossoff special in Lucy. Macbeth one in general. I think we're GONNA see that in this case but it still. You know it's something that can't be taken for granted in terms of the support that I had the volunteers mobilized rabbit. I think that's that's going to be the same thing right is how do you figure out ways of ways of getting involved? That may not mean. Move leaving your house And how do we get people excited about it? Especially when the Senate is in play in California and the The obviously dilatory votes are going to be there for Joe Biden. No matter what so. I think I think it has to be like maybe you know maybe the Gee let's get so excited about meeting the seat back because like that. That as it's more like Oh you fuckers. Hello and stand up and what's ours okay. You said the word motherfuckers. Let's expand on that a little bit because we we chatted briefly about this About this race and how it personal it was to you and how personal it was considering the person who ended up winning the seat. Can you talk a little bit about the people who helped promote Christy Smith opponent short so the first person the first slew of images that came out was through the publicly came out was through red? Sti His enemies are images of You. That were released without your consent without taking taken without your consent. Got It and the only person that could have done. That was my accent. Spin obvious denied it. And so it's a it. So that started at Red State. The person who published those who who was the investigative reporter has been a longtime Republican operatives in the region who writes I guess on side.

Had the photos and some of that is actually on logs. There's still posted out there. A Joe Messina.

Explorers & Contenders: Xue Susu
"Today we're GonNa talk about a woman who was adored by politicians strategists poets and pretty much. Anyone who met her are contender of the day was lauded for her ability to shoot targets from a moving horse an athletic feat that perhaps was more accepted at the time due to her many other skills and more typically feminine pastimes. Meet Xiujei Sue Shuhei. Sue was born near the southeast coast of China. In the fifteen seventy S it was the latter half of the Ming Dynasty. An era in China now known for its population boom as well as vast expansions an art and trade are the fifteen eighty s Shuhei. Sue was a Courtesan in the city of Nanjing working in a legendary pleasure district frequented by powerful upper class clients. Their shoe as sue was local celebrity. She was a talented painter and poet. Who Only met with the most educated men as clients shoe? Isuzu poetry focused on her experiences providing historians with fatal insight into the world and culture of her workplace era in the fifteen ninety S. Shuhei soon moved to Beijing. She hosted popular literary gatherings and parties wealthy scholars in clients and she also demonstrated her own talents and interests. She was an incredible Archer and horseback rider and she displayed skills publicly referring to herself as female night. Errand fellow poets were so stricken by her depicted her in their work one female contemporary wrote a flower goddess with chivalrous mind. Your spirit can be confined by no means. You have the wisdom to command an army. This poet went onto compare Shuhei Su Su to a military commander and a legendary archer. Many men also wrote about as sue and historical accounts essays and poems. The horseback riding was seen as quite a masculine pursuit.

How to Get Major Publicity with Selena Soo
"I was telling you in the enjoy talking all about how to get major publicity and to overcome your fears of being in the spotlight. And there's literally nobody in the world that is better prepared to draw value bombs on this topic than Salinas. Ooh I mean she is somebody who's done both of these things. She's got major publicity for herself and for others and she overcame her fear of being in the spotlight. We're going through all of those things we're going to be taking you through those three steps of getting the publicity of your dreams but I don't WanNa start there because I want to start sleeping with your personal story so break that down for us. Sure so my personal story around publicity begins when I was in my mid twenties when I had this quarter life crisis I was living in New York City. Making forty two thousand dollars a year working in a nonprofit and even though I was doing meaningful work on one level there were just things that maybe not happy at my work. I wasn't in a good relationship. Just everything I felt like it sucked in my life and I got into this deep depression and at that time I learned about a woman's Life Coaching Group and through that group. I got exposed. Always incredible experts authors entrepreneurs thought leaders. And I remember reading these books and just thinking that when people are suffering. And there's many reasons why we suffer whether it's a lack of purpose or we hate our job or we have a health issue or relationship issue. We're not just looking for information to solve our problems. We're really looking for inspiration and so I became so passionate about elevating These role models because I felt like these people these experts these authors by two bigger message of possibility where other people can see a piece of themselves and can help them get on a dark spot in their life became very passionate about getting the word out about these. Incredible people naturally started making connections favorite expert. That I admired and the media started just landing people a ton of publicity and that led to me eventually starting my own business. There's so many things I love about this story. Fire nation but one thing. I want to draw back to that similar. Selena's story in my story and so many other entrepreneurs that you hear on on fire that are now entrepreneurs on fire. What do they do they identified? They identified a struggle or an issue they saw or experienced in their own lives and they went and they created a solution for that. Because you were introverted in you overcame that. I mean you were a person that wasn't like look at me. I'm Selena sue and like loving that type extrovert personality. I mean you can do that. And I've seen you do that at events that we've co hosted together and different conferences that we've spoken at. I mean you can really play that card but you were introverted and you overcame that and you have these four essential lessons that you learn along the way that I would love for you to pass along to fire nation absolutely so early on in my business. I had this wonderful client. Who was a huge fan of mine and she said Selena other people to hear about your amazing work. I want you to also be reaching more people and so she invited me to skype video interview with her and that was extremely uncomfortable for me because I was all about putting other people in the spotlight. I wasn't about drawing attention to myself and I even had this limiting belief in my mind that I meant to be a behind the scenes person. I don't have the personality or the charisma to be out there in the public like these other entrepreneurs and but ultimately I thought you know what this person really believes the me she wants to help me and I should do this because I do understand the benefits of publicity so we did this video interview together and I was very nervous leading up to it and during the interview as well and she sent me the recording afterwards I was watching it with my interns and as I was watching it I was covering my face with my hands like I was watching a horror movie and I just noticed that you know. I wasn't smiling. I did maintain good eye contact. I was speaking so quickly. And meanwhile my insurance work counting my filler words. Because I wasn't toastmasters at the time because I sucked up public speaking and I wanted to keep track of like how I was doing. And at one point they had counted up to one hundred. Thirty seven filler. Words and I was like ladies you guys and just stop counting clearly. This is a disaster. I'm so bad at this incredibly embarrassing. There's no way could share with my audience. I look like such a full and my intern. One of them said Selena. I actually think it was a good interview. You some really great stories. Some really valuable advice. I actually think that people would like it and I was so stunned but then I thought if it's true if it's not as bad as I think in somebody sent out and stepped away from my computer for a few hours because I was you know horrified but also what you know. It's not as bad as I think. I got responses back and people were like. Wow I've never seen one video SELENA. That's so exciting. I love that story. Got a really special way of connecting with people and it just blew my mind and so I've taken away for big mindset lessons which helped me to this day and I think we'll help your listeners. So number one is that it's never as bad as you think we are our own worst critic and so we go into any kind of performance. We are looking for everything that we did wrong. And that's what I was doing. I was like fixating on all the ways they messed up and I had my interns like make list whereas other people are not focused on that. They're really focused on your message. So just know that it's usually uh spazzy think that's number one and then number two is that you know it's not fair to compare ourselves to people who are so far ahead so we may be comparing ourselves to our favorite. New York Times bestselling author or an incredible speaker. Who gracing the Ted Stage? But the truth is that those people have put many years into their craft and chances are they've hired mentor is whether they are ghostwriters. Or speechwriting coaches or a business coach or whoever it is who got them ready for those kinds of opportunities. So it's unfair to compare ourselves directly to those ahead of us and then the mindset the third mindset is to understand if you want to get to a higher level where you know you could be you have to understand that the beginning there will be a big gap and the only way to bridge that gap is to actually do the work to be willing to be imperfect and then the very last mindset shift which I think is the most important is just remembering that when you're doing this work and you're showing your message. It's not about you it's not about. How do I look on camera? Did I use any filler words? It's really about you showing up because there are people that you want serve and help and so I find that when I do that. I really takes the pressure off in a big way nauseous with interviews but whenever I'm connecting with any influential extraordinary person even when I just got starting my business. I really didn't have anything to show for myself but I wasn't afraid to approach these huge people because I knew that I was connecting with them because I wanted to contribute in their life and add value. And so when you're showing up to just contribute there's really nothing to be afraid of because you know that you know. Their life is going to be better. When you're part of
