A shocking new report from Vanity Fair this week claimed that Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. had inappropriate contact with a babysitter that the family had hired at his home, and the babysitter claims that the behavior happened on multiple occasions. On top of that, the article also claimed that Kennedy once boasted about eating a dog while overseas. Guess which one of these claims Kennedy is adamantly denying?Also, during one interview with author Ramin Setoodeh for his book "Apprentice in Wonderland," Donald Trump offered up an explanation as to why he is so terrible. He told Setoodeh that while working on The Apprentice, the network would do whatever he wanted because he brought in good ratings, and he could even be as evil as he wanted as long as the ratings stayed decent. That applies not just to his TV show, but his entire way of life - if he gets attention, then it doesn't matter how vile he is.Finally, a clearly deflated Judge Juan Merchan announced this week that he would be delaying Donald Trump's sentencing for his 34 felony convictions until September 18th. But the judge included a line in his ruling that suggested that the sentencing may never happen at all. This is clearly in response to the Supreme Court's decision this week, but that ruling should not apply to the hush money case because there is absolutely no "official duty" of a president to order a private company to cover up a hush money payment.Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FarronBalanced/Twitter: https://twitter.com/farronbalancedInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/farronbalancedTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@farronbalanced?lang=en

Drama, drama, drama! There is always something going on. Meghan catches up with her good friend Ramin Setoodeh who is Variety's Co-Editor-in-Chief and a NY Times best-selling author who literally wrote the book about 'The View.' They address the current issue with the cast continuing to keep Meghan's name in their mouths... before moving on to more fun stuff, like the best movies to stream over the holidays.

This episode is brought to you by the phrase, How to Land Your Dream Job. It's a rebroadcast of my episode with Elizabeth Wagmeister and was originally titled, Resilient, because Elizabeth rightly believes being resilient is a key to success. It's been a joy to know and work with Elizabeth since we met when I was casting Page Six TV and she became one of the hosts. Elizabeth is a consummate professional and genuine pleasure - and makes the work look easy. But as Elizabeth points out, hard-work creates luck. As a little girl, Elizabeth dreamed of being a dancer. She tried out for the dance team but didn't make it. She tried out again - and again and again - until she made the team and went on to become nationally ranked.  As so many of my guests have shared on Camera Ready and Abel: Learn from the disappointment, make adjustments and keep going. When Elizabeth and I originally recorded this episode, she was the senior correspondent at Variety (responsible for numerous covers + breaking the Matt Lauer story with Ramin Setoodeh). Now Elizabeth is CNN's Los Angeles-based entertainment correspondent. No matter what your dream job is, Elizabeth beautifully walks you through the best practices, strategies, and steps to get it, including this gem: No matter what your ambitions are, be good at the job you were hired to do. Always have your boss's back. Follow Elizabeth at @ewagmeister.

In an era when social media and streaming reign supreme, how has a daytime talk show on network television managed to stay relevant? With help from Ramin Setoodeh (author of the book Ladies Who Punch: The Explosive Inside Story of The View) and writer Amanda FitzSimons (who covered this for The New York Times Magazine), Sam explores why — and how — ABC's The View continues to trend on Twitter, regularly lands presidential candidates in the guest chair, and turns its Hot Topics roundtable into a microcosm of modern-day American politics. Here's looking at you, 2022 midterms!

5/15/2019 - Ramin Setoodeh Ladies Who Punch

Ramin Setoodeh is the author of the NY Times best seller “Ladies Who Punch: The Explosive Inside Story of The View. The book landed on the New York Times' Bestseller list within its first week of release. Ramin shares his behind-the-scenes work he did to write this look at this long-running day time show that started with Barbara Walters.

“When Barbara Walters was in her 30s and 40s, her father was a nightclub owner and he gambled away his family’s fortune on these investments and as a result of that, Barbara was always very conscious of money and always very afraid that her fortune could disappear one day.” That’s Ramin Setoodeh, our guest today, talking about the one and only Barbara Walters, creator of The View.  Ramin is the author of Ladies Who Punch. It’s a brand-new book that takes a deep dive into the personalities behind The View. If anyone here listening is a fan of The View, or once upon a time watched it, this episode is for you. Ramin’s book has become an instant New York Times bestseller, despite initially being rejected by publishers over 20 times. Can you believe that? You heard him talk a little bit about some of the financial fears that Barbara Walters harbors. Ramin went deep with this book looking at how The View came to be, the surprising rejection that The View received in the beginning of Barbara Walters’ pitch, as well as the behind the scenes of how some of the co-hosts handled the drama that ensued being on The View. Ramin also provides his own personal experiences with money, growing up the son of immigrants and climbing up in the world of news. He is an award-winning journalist and the New York Bureau Chief for Variety. Ramin was formerly a senior writer at News Week and he’s also written for the Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times and many other publications.

Everyone loves a great backstage book filled with juicy tidbits. And it can’t get much juicier than backstage at The View.

No surprise, it’s become an instant New York Times bestseller. It’s called LADIES WHO PUNCH: The Explosive Inside Story of The View, and Ramin is joining us today to share all about it.

After accusations that he mischaracterized the Mueller investigation’s findings, Attorney General William Barr blames the media for muddling the story. This week, On the Media dissects Barr’s deflections. And, how a Jewish satirist uses grotesque caricatures to cut to the heart of the discourse on antisemitism and why effectively combating hate requires building coalitions. Plus, how ABC's The View became one of the biggest political stages on television. 1. Dahlia Lithwick [@Dahlialithwick], host of the Amicus podcast and writer at Slate, on Barr's mischaracterization of the Mueller report. 2. Leo Ferguson [@LeoFergusonnyc], organizer with Jews for Racial and Economic Justice, on the ways to understand and combat antisemitism. 3.

En nuestro tercer programa de la temporada seguimos grabando desde un "riguroso bar", en el "Festival Internacional de Cinema Fantàstic de Catalunya", es decir, el Festival de Sitges, donde analizamos algún estreno más. Comenzará el señor Deans en solitario analizando "Mandy", con un ¿resucitado? Nicolas Cage; "Summer of 84", la nueva producción de los creadores de "Turbo Kid", y la interesante "American Animals", una de las mejores películas que hemos podido disfrutar en el festival. Después se unirá el señor Ben para analizar las dos películas principales de la jornada. Comenzaremos con "Dragged across concrete", el tercer film de S. Craig Zahler, autor de las magníficas "Bone Tomahawk" y "Brawl in Cell Block 99"; y que cuenta en el reparto con Mel Gibson, Vince Vaughn, Jennifer Carpenter, Don Johnson y Udo Kier. Acabaremos con la polémica nueva producción de Lars Von Trier: "The House that Jack Built". Protagonizada por Matt Dillon en el papel principal y con la participación de Bruno Ganz y Uma Thurman. La película debutó en el Festival de Cine de Cannes, marcando el regreso de von Trier al festival después de más de seis años. Por cierto, Ramin Setoodeh de la revista Newsweek se mostró sorprendido tras la salida de más de 100 personas del estreno de la película en el Festival de Cannes, afirmando que muchos de los asistentes no pudieron soportar las escenas de violencia contra mujeres y niños. Supongo que el público de Sitges tiene la piel un poco más curtida. En programas sucesivos, continuaremos analizando las películas que veamos durante el festival. Eso sí, tendréis que disculpar el sonido de ambiente, ya que grabamos en riguroso post-pase, sentados en uno de los bares de Sitges (no podía ser de otra manera ¿verdad?) · Para quejas y comentarios de haters: bdcinepodcast@gmail.com
