Finding God in History Today Is a Tricky Business...
"I'm back with zeb Weinstein director of international affairs at the city of David foundation in Jerusalem. You can follow him on Twitter and observes the EEV or ENS DEI N and we're talking about Israel and the Bible. So if you made a striking point where you said that, you know, it's one thing for us to believe that God was once active in the world. In fact, certainly if you look at the Hebrew scriptures and the very beginning God is talking to Adam and Eve. He seems to communicate in a very direct way with Abraham, even with Moses, they may not see his face, but it's unmistakably him. And yet then there's a movement in the Hebrew scriptures in which God seems to somewhat recede. His relationship even to the middle prophets is not as direct. And then later, God seems to be in the same position as these now. So I think the point you're making is that finding God in history today is a trickier business. And yet, you do have explicit predictions in the Hebrew scriptures that the Jews will return. I mean, that's unmistakable. Bible prophecy can be a little cloudy, but that's not cloudy. And here we are, and I want to highlight the sort of extreme implausibility of that event. And yet it occurs, you've had three wars, 1948, 1967, 1973, in every case Israel is victorious against massively combined army. So is this what you're saying that it seems like a combination of political and religious epiphany hit you at the same time and you want it to be in the middle of it. Faith is a choice. You could relate to the world as if it's just always been like that. Always will be like that. Or you could relate to the world that there is something bigger at play. And that we are as people created in the image of God that we have a certain purpose to fulfill the world, both individually and collectively. And the more I became aware of the history of the modern State of Israel and the return of the Jewish people to the land of Israel. And the world's obsession with Israel, not always positive, I realize there's something bigger at play and there's something that spoke to me again from a spiritual place of a feeling that perhaps when I was put in this world to do, had something to do with that.

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.

"They both won and Greg lesman won against a long time Republican incumbent talking about families. Yep. Yep. That's really thrilling, especially to have Amelia Sykes who's a very close friend and a political mentor of mine to be our congresswoman. So very, very excited. He's awesome. Yeah. Yeah, she actually came to Hudson to talk to our kids and ask them what they were concerned about. And I know a lot of the mobs and Hudson really love that. And by the way, the suburbs where they're winning are the fast some of the fastest growing places in the state. So they're very much is a realignment, but there's also a lot of opportunity for Democrats in Ohio when you're on the right message. And getting it out effectively. Yep. All right, so as you know at the end of every episode, we do a toast to joy, where we share something positive that happened in our week. And in these four weeks of special episodes, we want to broaden things out a little bit and do a 2022 toast to joy. So what was a moment or a bit of news that brought you hope and joy this year? So overall, the election was a massive, massive relief for me. If you told me going into this election and I'm talking beyond my race because as much as I love being a rap and I really do, there's much better there's much bigger forces at play in the country. But if you told me that we would keep the Senate Democrats would keep the Senate and when in a lot of really key statehouses where election deniers and anti democratic forces and maga forces were on the march. And have just a very narrow minority in the state House, I would have been blown away. I would have thought that was just an amazing achievement and ultimately what it means to me is there's this big coalition of just normal patriotic old school patriotic Americans who just are just want to see competent government caring people be able to vote, send their kids to school, have just safe, strong communities where we're investing, where we're protecting people, where we are protecting our right to vote, where we are protecting women and women's rights and women's choice and trying to expand access to healthcare and doing things about climate change so many issues and just this big coalition of the normal came out. And I feel like given the economic headwinds it could have been a disaster, but it ended up being, I think, a strong signal, and it makes me feel better about the long-term trajectory of our country. And the country we're raising our kids in here, our country. And then you're more optimistic than I thought you were going to be. Oh, I am. I am. I feel like, I mean, today, as we're recording today, Arizona's certifying it's election and that the election denying, even a lot of the election deniers almost all of them conceded their races. Secretary of State races, attorney general races, we won, and I'm so deep into all these things. We won and so you are. You are in every state. Anyone and they'll be like, I'm from some tiny little town and, you know, I don't know, Louisiana, and you're like, oh, I just heard about it. I've always shocked you always know every little state what's going on. All right, yeah. Because I know being in the legislature, what a big impact these can have on our families lives. So very important. The election was a massive relief to me.

"Turning out the cities and there's not getting killed in some of the traditionally red rural areas. And we haven't quite been able to put those two things together. So you do very well in your suburban district, and I think you do especially well with suburban women. Why is that? I do feel that I have a pretty good pulse of the concerns and interests of the people in my district. And when it comes to schools, they are pro teacher. We are pro public education, we are pro science and fact being taught pro history being taught in schools. We're pro book. And those are pretty basic positions for me to be able to take, but I feel like the median voter in my district really supports those things. I mean, I think an important point there is when you heard people were talking about banning books and CRT in our school district, you didn't say, oh, I shouldn't talk about this, right? This is controversial. You do the opposite. You say, you know what? There are people. There are women who are concerned about this. Let's have this conversation. And you came out and talked about it immediately. So I was thinking, you're telling me that now I get to say over and over again that I'm pro teacher, pro school, and profile. I know that's an easy sell. I'm pro teacher. I'm the women with children in schools. I'm pro book, and that suddenly became a an issue that there were two sides of them. I'm like, no, no, I'm for the books. I'm for the teachers. I'm for the schools. Here's my record for it. But also for LGBT rights, I feel like the median voter in my district has no issue with expansions and protections for the LGBT community. So I talk about that. I talk about gun safety and gun reform. I talk about environmental issues. I talk about investing in our communities and keeping them safe and really special places where families want to can grow and thrive. So I think we talk about a lot about families. So in there is inherently you are dad. You have kids. You care a lot about families and you talk about, you know, let's do things for families. Yeah, yeah, and I mean, I never want to see that pro family lane in politics because I am for quality education and support for parents and parental leave and healthcare and supporting moms, nursing moms and that's a bill I'm going to be working on next GA, actually, is protections for moms in the workplace. New moms. And so, you know, you and I having three young kids, we've been living this the challenges, even though we're lucky enough to be in a financially sound position, still, it's been financially challenging for us. So I feel like that's a lot of voters can relate to that in a lot of voters are dealing with things that you and I have dealt with. So I talk about them. I tell my voters, you may not always agree with me, but you will always know where I stand on the issues. And so even if they disagree on something, I've heard many, many people talk about, well, we know you're going to show up and we know you'll know. We know where you stand on the issue. Yeah. And as, you know, even though the kind of down ballot got worse, the state sent in state House, you know, you used to have candidates like Greg landsman and Amelia Sykes, who each had about an 18%

"I mean, and it's been surprising, so another kind of worse thing is you get more of you've had more interaction with the FBI than other elected members because people from all around the country seek you out. Missouri. Yeah. Yeah. Guy sent a threat and the local FBI office had asked me to forward those when they come in and afforded it and they ended up going to the guy's house. In Missouri. In Missouri. Yeah. And confronting him with that, I guess he said something to the effect of, well, that doesn't sound like something. I would normally say, I'm like, that's pretty. But he did stop saying it out. After the FBI showed up at his house. It did. Yeah. Most likely, right? Nothing will probably happen. But there's a small chance, something could happen. We've seen that happen even with an anti Pelosi's house that there is a chance that something could happen. And that's the point. They want to intimidate you. Yeah, the thing at our House was a game changer for me in terms of just the, you know, our kids were here. It was a Sunday. I was just watching a movie with the kids on the couch and never forget that moment when you came down and told me that what was going on in front of our House. It was shocking. It was like, are you really at our house right now? Yeah. You're like, you're in the super minority. If you really want something done, go to your own people in the majority and get something done. But that was the point. They didn't actually want anything done. When our neighbor asked them, they just really were there to let you know they don't like you. Right. All right, so what is going on with Ohio. So you won and what our newspaper is calling the most competitive race in the state. But you won, but there were a lot of other races that didn't win in Ohio. The down ballot in terms of state House and state Senate didn't do so well this election. So what's going on with that? So we're at a point where we are a structural minority in the state House. And what I mean by that is the GOP magas are the agents in the matrix. They are guarding all the exits they hold all the keys.

"I'm going to try and end you somehow. Yeah, listen, I got invited by The White House to come celebrate the first ever rosh hashanah Jewish new year in White House history there. They said I could bring a plus one, and I brought our daughter. And they started attacking her for being an entitled little child. And I'm like, oh my God. I mean, just that. There aren't a lot of events where Jewish kids to really be celebrating who they are because they're in the minority. So it is really cool to get to go to some place. Like The White House and being celebrating your jewishness. Yeah, and it was incredibly special little trip that I got to take her on and she was wonderful and perfect and so it's just disgusting that people stoop to that. But 99.9% of voters realize that and that kind of negativity ends up backfiring on them. I know that's true. A lot of them really would like to tell us how to pair our children. Yeah. Because she's actually doing great at school. So taking her away for a day or The White House was totally fine. But thank you for your concern. About the one day of school that she missed. So speaking of your jewishness and some of the fun that comes with that, we actually had protesters at our House, which is interesting because in our state, in terms of big statewide elected type officials and local officials, I know protesters have gone to governor dewine's house. Amy Acton's house. And our house. Yeah. And that's about it. Mostly just the Jews. Two out of three of those Jewish. Yeah. Fairly specifically anti semitic. So yeah. Yeah, so why do you say they're anti semitic? Because they, first of all, it was this church. We found out. Yeah, I'm doing air quotes. Because it's more like this militant group that lives in my district. They're mostly political. Right. That occasionally uses Bible verses to justify whatever political and so that and therefore. I think that inherently added a religious aspect to it. Secondly, they brought the new for the cross flag, which I've seen over the years, which Neil for the cross. Which is clear message for a Jewish person. And then just the whole intimidation, right after church, they talked about it and then they rolled over to our House. I mean, they were dozens of cars trucks. Down the road and then they were all just massing in front of them.

"Have to keep investing in it to keep it great. So that has been really gratifying too, and then gotten some bills passed, probably the singular moment I go to is when I went back to Wright Patterson Air Force Base where you and I served. And saint Ohio. And Dayton, Ohio. And I had a military family's bill that we signed into law there. So that was a really cool moment. But I guess at a high level, it's just, I feel like I've been able to get things done. So that makes it worth it in terms of all the negatives. So my favorite part about campaigning, though, is I actually like, I feel like I should not tell you this though. But I do really like the events we get to go to. And eventually you start to meet a lot of your supporters and they become regular friends and people you go and say hi. How are you doing? And even other people elected in office, you get to see them more often. It becomes like this little group of friends and family, and that is really fun. And you get to see them, except for it's like Friends and family, but instead of Thanksgiving, where the crazy uncle is saying crazy things, they're like the fun uncle, who is always going to say something you totally agree with. That's funny. On that note, campaigning is actually overwhelmingly positive. It's a tremendously positive experience getting to do so many neat things that bring you closer to the community. Even the forums, I love those. There's a lot of parties. There are a lot of parties. There's a lot of social events. There's a lot of really neat things that you get to do to interact with the community. And that is a really special part of it. So your wine with Weinstein event was huge this year. Yeah, yeah, people were ready to turns out people like to drink wine with you. Like to drink wine. Yeah, we had a very successful in person events, which was great because we didn't do them in 2020. So I didn't knock on doors in 2020 and it actually kind of missed that.

"For the rest of the year, my co host and I will be taking turns going deep on what we learned from the midterms. There are so many victories to celebrate in so many lessons to learn. Today, I'm joined by my husband Casey. Hi. Just in case listeners don't know, you're currently a state representative here in Ohio and you were just reelected last month. So we wanted to have you on the podcast to talk about what it's like to run for office. And what it's like to have a spouse or a family member run for office. So why did you decide to run for office and do you remember what my response was when you first told me about it? Well, so I got out of the military. We got out of the military at the same time. And I immediately was looking for ways to get involved. And I just kind of think I missed that structure in that service and that was so a part of my upbringing. My dad served in The White House. The Reagan White House. The Reagan White House. Yep. And so I had proximity to the government and to the highest levels of it. And I've always view it viewed it as whether you're serving in the military, you're serving in your community incredibly important to give back. So I was seeking this positions right away. But ultimately it was a city council opening in 2015 and I got the paper. I remember we were standing by the island and I said, oh, well, the mayor is not running for reelection and our counsel person's going to run for mayor, so that's an open seat for our council ward seat. And there's just this silence. And I'm like that. And I think that was it. I don't think I actually asked him. There's an open seat. And I guess then it happened. I ran. I don't know. No, you did. Well, we had a new board. Oh yeah, we did. Nora, so our oldest childhood was fresh, fresh out the womb and he was like, hey, do you mind if I'm like, you know, knocking on every door in the ward over the summer instead of home with you in our newborn? And I was like, well, that's okay, but remember, I asked you for something. Oh, yes, a splash pad. Yeah, I wanted a splash pit. Yeah. So I asked for a splash pad. And you better get me a splash pad, I believe we're the exact words. You did get me a splash pad for our community. And you were like, the first thing you went, you saw our city meager. And said, look, my wife really wants to splash bath. Part of the deal. What can we do? And she knew exactly who to go to who to ask. We asked kiwanis, they got some money. Parks came in. We have a splash bender community. It was a big deal. It was a great thing to campaign on parks enhancements are fantastic. Not their bipartisan, everybody wants to see that very real tangible investment in their community, things that they can see and touch, that they can experience, whether you got kids, grandkids, whatever.

Jury goes a week with no verdict at Weinstein rape trial
"Jurors at the Los Angeles rape and sexual misconduct trial of Harvey Weinstein have been deliberating for a week without reaching a verdict. 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. Weinstein still has more than 20 years left on his sentence in New York after a rape and sexual assault conviction there. That is under appeal. In California, he could get 60 years to life in prison if he's convicted on all accounts involving all four women he's charged with assaulting.

Ed Dowd: A Passion to Analyze the Effects of COVID Vaccine Mandate
"Across a conversation with doctor Brett Weinstein, who I always consider to be very far left, but honest, and then doctor Malone, you probably remember the conversation was on the dark horse podcast that went viral. And I said, well, that's interesting. If they're talking about this, then there's something to this that I think people are missing. We asked our audience. We got thousands of emails of people all across the country saying the same thing of different ages, specifically young menstrual menstrual cycle, disruptions, dropping dead, all sorts of nerve issues, and so on and so forth. So I guess my question is, as someone who used to work at BlackRock, how did you get into this and why are you so passionate about it? Yeah, no problem. So, you know, look, like you, I'm curious person. That's been my whole career. My expertise and lies in the space between perception and reality. And the perception at the time I was hearing all these anecdotes was that it's safe and effective. You got to take in an oh, by the way, we're going to mandate this. And that's where that's where I became passionate about this in the summer of 2021. I saw the same podcast she did with doctor Malone and Brett on the dark horse podcast. And that's when I said, aha. Something's really awry here. And that's when I started to dig. And you know, I'm just one of those people that likes to figure out puzzles and the puzzle that I was starting to figure out was horrific. And like yourself, I was never anti vax. I mean, I literally got a tetanus booster two years before COVID. So after my journey, I'm not taking another vaccine ever again. But that's now. Like you, I was not anti anything. My eyes have been opened up and the way that the guts of the medical system and the pharmaceutical system work is flawed and its profit rent seeking behavior that I'm seeing from all these individuals, both the regulators and the farmer, the pharma executives, and some politicians that are bribed by the farm executives to pass laws in their favor.

"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.

Tarantino Is Making Excuses for Not Standing up to Harvey Weinstein
"I was there. Obviously you know, my ear was not only to the ground. It was below the ground. Both ears. I heard everything back then and Harvey was close to me. I talked to him several days a week. I never heard a rape story. Now, Quentin Tarantino was closer to Harvey. They worked together in tandem. I'm sure he heard something. 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. I didn't hear it, and I was a gossip columnist. I'm not lying to you. I heard the hobby was a bully. I heard he got things done. I assumed he got laid like every other studio had got late since Louis V mayor. But, you know, bathrobe, raping, injecting drugs into his penis to get hard. No, I never heard any of that stuff. 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. So, you know, I don't know, but I really think Quentin Tarantino because of his position and because Harvey took him under his wing, Quentin Tarantino can tell you all he wants that he never heard this stuff. 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.

Jury says it's deadlocked in Danny Masterson rape trial
"A key point has been reached in the rape and sexual assault trial of Harvey Weinstein prosecutors in Los Angeles have rested their case in the trial of Harvey Weinstein after presenting evidence they believe will convince a jury that he raped two women and sexually assaulted two others Deputy district attorney Paul Thompson announced the move in court after nearly four weeks of testimony from 44 witnesses four of them were women who told the panel Weinstein befriended them showed interest in their careers offered a meeting in private then sexually assaulted them for other women testified their allegations of rape or assault were not charged but were put on by prosecutors to show what they say is

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.

Jenifer Seibel Newsom Describes Harvey Weinstein's Penis in Detail
"Jennifer said, well, newsweek says, I was standing. I'm resisting. It's a horror. I'm trembling. It's the worst nightmare. This blow up doll that he's trying to masturbate off of. 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? I wasn't attempted to rape. She has an awful lot about his dick. I don't think my girlfriend knows that much about my dick for God's sake. Green and yellow. What's going on down there?

All and the premise is basically that you have these people who fell in love and one of them does not live in the united states. and so it's just. The american go live abroad. Does the person who's not american. Try to get to american on the k. One visa now one of the interesting things about the last few seasons i would say is that despite everybody's issues getting to america. No one was mad about trump. like i don't know of natan edited all the talk. How did nobody may lack trump fan careful and michael. Michael love trump michael on barrack and everything that he knew was based on the apprentice and read all the books so but either way when angela is with immigration attorney and she's just screaming mad about everything i was like.

There is one one of my all time fades yara currencies season. Who is like what is so great about america. You're all wanna go home. I was like girls singing.

"Do you find from the couples that you work with the biggest challenge. People have really depends. You know i'm not going to start. You know naming all the things that i work with as with couples but i've dealt with trauma sexual trauma in the passage impacting now family trauma that now is impacting communication. Or how someone might interpret the things that happened in their marriage as being dangerous or on irving even though it's not but i would say the biggest thing is communication and the openness and vulnerability to be able to have that to be honest with each other and to be able to have those feelings hurt and respected or some of the things that i see most often happened with marriages. So how do you recommend people to go and open out become vulnerable while what i would say that it really is about finding that safe place for the couple to feel safe to communicate so a lot of times it does take couples therapy to be able to have that person who is there to kind of be that referee or that safe person but sometimes i would make this really important caveat to couples therapy or relationship work. You don't have to be in crisis or the quote unquote end of a relationship to get help. I think that a maintenance kind of couples therapy is also great. Sometimes even the healthiest couples going to couples therapy just to learn someone's baby attachment styles. Communication styles love languages in things. That maybe they don't even aren't aware of as as a relationship but it doesn't mean the relationship is bad or unhealthy or destructive or abusive. It could just mean. Hey i want this to last longer. And i wanted to be really great while it lasts. I think is also something. People have a misconception. Myth that oh of to couples therapy relationship must be over. It doesn't always mean that sometimes it's just about making sure that things are going right.

You want to start by telling us what was something. That was really funny. They use it as a kid that your parents. They'll talk about to this day re question. I've a few stories. Because i was very mischievous child. Well i was very curious child. Let's be honest. One of the things my parents will talk about is the thing that i did are two stories one. I walked out of my house Sleepwalking to my next door neighbor. Because i thought my my house was empty. Supposedly slept my house and the second thing story that happens a lot. Is that when i was about six. I cut the power cord to the computer and blamed it on someone else. Who's actually in the house. her name is marcus ego back in the day we grew up together And i cut the wire. This thick wire and the electricity came in said who did this and migrants like the six year old. And he didn't die. That's a huge miracle because like massive fat power cord The connected all the computer wires and everything. So they do talk about that as me being mischievous child. Could i have a lot more stories. Yeah a lot of them. Yeah i think. Curiosity is such an important base. Because without that you're not gonna learn anything can really go figure things out. So i like it when caves make trouble like that because they were just curious. I'm like let's celebrate it. They tried to learn something now. I get to school and afterwards they don't wanna learn anymore. So parents looked at it. That way when i was breaking things and you know. Exploding lightbulbs toilets in putting cream all over and lipstick on things. You know i was very mischievous child. Yeah yeah it's hard. But it's like that but i think in cages perspective of it. Okay so how has your work and things you do affect your own marriage regarding meeting as therapist. Yeah it's funny because you know. I have permission to talk about this for my wife's at a worry as a therapist who works with couples allot and in related with relationships as a relationship coach. Whatever that means in the end sometimes two things happened one. I work with a couple. That really is distressing to me. It makes me come to my wife and go. I love you so much. Thank you so much for being you. I appreciate the healthy marriage that we have..

"So is there any avenue for weinstein ever seeing the light of day. Yes the what would have to happen is he would have to get the new york case. Reverse if he gets the new york case reverse his conviction then he would be eligible for bail there and he's already eligible for bail in california so he could get out conceivably it begets that reverse. One of the reasons and i was having this discussion with a prosecutor friend of mine. Who was telling me that. I've gotta get outside of my criminal defense. Mindset that the that one of the reasons that the prosecution in la may want to try. This case. sooner rather than later was that the prosecutors would be concerned about that but the prosecutors would want to try to get him Work at I don't want to call lightning speed but at a relatively quick Quickly to get a verdict here presumably. They're confident about their ability to get a guilty verdict because that in that way that would force saul him ever getting out if that happened prior to a decision by the appellate department in new york. So it's an interesting tug of war for him And his teams were both in new york and la. Well i have mixed feelings. Because on one hand i believe he's guilty and should remain in prison on the other hand if weinstein gets out and cosby gets out. Alyssum alana's head is going to explode. And i would like to be there for that so i have kind of mixed mixed feelings on it. Do you know what i'm sitting. I'm told her about me. You're about the collateral damage. I do see what her next week is. That's all so i. I yeah i i apologize. I've got kind of a hard out. 'cause i i was telling gary that i've got to go Unfortunately because i still wanted to come back and talk wedding with you. Finishing call that they call those evergreens. So we can. We can get into that when a whenever you like. I know you gotta heart out. I gotta i gotta short spot. Weinstein may have an avenue to get out and what was the last thing. it's Maxwell gelang well i look the of course. There's the titillation factor. But the fact that there were people who had intervened in litigation to keep their the thing sealed and add their name seal. leads me to believe that there obviously are people who do not want to be named or have their information release and I think when that information comes out. I obviously think just lay maxwell Is going to have a tougher uphill battle. Because there's going to be all kinds of scrutiny of regarding who's named and in what context legs of that they are all those names gonna come out in the courts as of now. There's an order that a less stayed looks like prior to her trial. A lot of these names are going to be out while while that'll be an interesting Chapter in our society..

It's re run by the lovely kimmy and it's a it's a brazilian restaurant slash capillary studio slash slash comedy club in santa barbara. So you sort of the comedy room is clearly. They've covered up some of the mirrors but is very definitely emotional studio that we're doing doing a show. It's a much lower form of combat going on. I know if legend couple era was this martial art but the the reason it looks like dances because it was like a thing that prisoners did but they had to pretend that they were dancing and not marshall so their captors would let them do it. Yeah you'd think that eventually the little big eventually the captors would break up the dancing then even someone is. What is the dancing. I don't know why and brazilian accent stop this sink. What he always dancing so close to the gods heads. What does that wasting kicking through planks of wood. Another dance mishap chief. Sorry yeah. I don't know i'd like i'd like the idea like it feels like a sort of great escape kind of deal right exactly. We just we just practicing just doing choir practice and gardening and pay no attention to the increasing level of around the flower beds. That thing with the iris river dance. That origin story seems a little more plausible with the you can only. You can't see the bottom half so their bodies kind of thing as you walk by the bar. It's just like dancing. wasn't allowed. Said that just like the tops after their body please completely like just having a little bit of a just. Why does that sound like a room full of people banging. Would we don't know it's like a mullet along different access access business. Top part of. I've never even heard that legend. I'm not gonna go through life. Why have facts and don't need not in these days so to that point josh we like to ask gas before we get deep into the science stories. What if anything is your background in science and that's range from clauses. People took hold till hated when they're at school or college. Two things they blew up in the woods with their friends. Whatever i once was on a show called mystery science theater three thousand. Oh i was I mocked movies with a robot. Puppet that that's true too And i had a series of high school science teachers that really disliked me and my attitude. This that's such a common thread amongst comedians who've had to guest on this show as being one teacher or a couple of teachers who just really didn't take to them. Yeah and those were all scientist couple. Math teachers had problems with me too. But but would at least admit. I was funny whereas the science teachers would not give me an empirical thumbs up and then you started working on. Msg three k. When you were still in high schools. I just got i was seventeen and i just. I skipped a grade. So i graduated when i was seventeen. Oh for that. First year of college. At university of minnesota. I was doing mystery science theater at seventeen and then i dropped out when we sold it to comedy. Yeah yeah. I obviously didn't know about until it was on comedy channel comedy central But how how did it start up. It started on a uhf station And we literally just improv. The show once a week It was joel. Hodgson who recruited traceable you and i to be the robots guys and eventually the mad scientist who shot him into space And we kind of you know. It was the basic premise of this guy watching movies and space and we kind of just took it from there. Wasn't you know we started making comments and jokes and as we started making that'd be started to feel the absence of them. You know once once you've made them so we we started filling it up more and more with jokes but the original concept was sort of to take one of those local hosted movies and actually be a good host and go watch the movie with the with the people and that was sort of so there was there was there was always going to be comments. You know we learned as we went how much we could actually pack in there but but originally you're saying you wanted to like pick. It wasn't that you were going to pick good movies and show them. It was always going to be like the movie. you know. Local hosted movie or bad sci-fi weekend kind of movies. But you know this is. This was joel's idea to to you know. Just sorta base it on silent running which was as bruce derm. sci fi film He gave it that kind of feel and then like i said he sort of recruited us and we kind of made it up. We did about twenty episodes locally and people of responded to it right away but we were. We were developing each week as we went and we and we had no time..
