Adam Levy brings over 25 years of diverse legal experience to the bench, serving as one of three judges on Prime Video's Tribunal Justice, created by Judge Judy Sheindlin. Podcast Highlights: •    Levy talks about being part of a legal dynasty, including his mother, Judge Judy Sheindlin •    Levy discusses how the "rule of law" applied at home •    Levy shares the importance his mother's work ethic had on his professional development •    Levy shares a funny story of how his mother accepted a job on his behalf early in his career •    Levy shares his passionate views on the importance of truth and his disgust for those who blatantly lie •    As a young attorney, Levy would learn by reading transcripts of cases that  reflected the work of the best possible  lawyers, prosecutors and criminal defense lawyers  •    Levy discusses the instances where he and the other two Tribunal Justice judges disagree •    Levy shares his loathing for situations where various legal professionals don't play by the rules, especially when one of those involved seems more concerned about their own political aspirations •    Levy explains his views on the classification of public documents as well as conspiracy theorists and the value of critical thinking Having served two terms as Putnam County District Attorney in NY, Levy used his experience as a private practitioner to create pragmatic and impactful programs and initiatives to improve the fair and impartial administration of justice in the county where he lived, worked, and raised his family. This hands-on approach included extensive in-service training for all newly hired prosecutors and an open-door policy for his staff. Leading by example, Levy personally prosecuted a wide range of criminal cases, including sexual assaults, political corruption, and witness intimidation matters. Levy also dedicated time to training the next generation of lawyers as well. He was an instructor at The National Institute of Trial Advocacy and a long-time educator at The New York Prosecutors Training Institute. These trainings helped lead, guide, and mentor young prosecutors in cross-examination and trial strategy skills as they began their legal careers. Levy's expertise was built through a lifetime of legal service. As a 1992 Hofstra Law School graduate, Levy began his career as an ADA at the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office, where he prosecuted a wide range of violent and non-violent offenders with a practice focused on seeking justice for women and children who were the victim of physical and sexual assault—He then co-founded his legal partnership, Levy & Santoro, in Carmel, NY. He brought his trial experience from Suffolk County to the people of Putnam County, handling complex criminal and matrimonial matters in courts throughout New York State. Levy's no-nonsense approach to cases and reputation as a skilled trial attorney and advocate ultimately led to his election as District Attorney in Putnam County, where he lived with his family. His daughter, Sarah Rose, a newly admitted lawyer, is the law clerk on "Judy Justice," where his mother, judicial icon Judge Judy Sheindlin, presides. Levy and his wife Lori have two other children, Jacob and Emma, who are still in school. In his spare time, he enjoys skiing, scuba diving, white water rafting, and spending time with his family.

Not long ago, Steven Petrow experienced one of the worst years of his life. He lost both his parents, separated from his husband, and learned that his sister had metastatic cancer. He began to question: how can one find joy during incredibly difficult times?   Award-winning Washington Post columnist Petrow explains that joy is not only around us, but within us. He examines this and so much more in his much-anticipated book "The Joy You Make: Find the Silver Linings--Even on Your Darkest Days."  Steven Petrow is an award-winning journalist and author who is best known for his Washington Post and New York Times essays on aging, health, and civility. He's a contributor to NPR and other news outlets and his TED Talk, "Three Ways To Practice Civility," has garnered nearly two million views. Petrow is the author of six previous books, including the bestselling "Stupid Things I Won't Do When I Get Old." He's North Carolina's 2024 Piedmont Laureate and lives in Hillsborough, North Carolina. In his latest book, he explores the many expressions of joy and shows readers how to find, cultivate, and share it. Combining his personal experiences with research and expert interviews, Petrow asks (and answers) the question: "What if there was a way to find the joy in everything?"  The connection between joy and grief are inseparable. Joy is present everywhere; it takes practice, we need to shift our mindset and we need to understand better to experience it.   ON THE KNOWS with Randall Kenneth Jones is a podcast featuring host Randall Kenneth Jones (bestselling author, speaker & creative communications consultant) and Susan C.

Acker is an experienced civil litigator who has represented a wide array of clients, from major automobile manufacturers in high-stakes product liability litigation to media companies in hotly contested trade secret disputes. She has been a featured commentator on "Good Morning America," "The View," "Entertainment Tonight," "Wendy Williams," "The Talk," "Inside Edition," "Banfield," "The O'Reilly Factor," "Larry King Live," "CNN Reports," "Anderson Cooper 360," "Issues with Jane Velez Mitchell," "Extra," "Your World With Neil Cavuto," "HLN's Special Report," "CNBC Reports," Great Britain's "GMTV" and Sky News, and various other broadcasts.

After her clerkship, the Office of the Solicitor General in the U.S. Department of Justice awarded Acker a Bristow Fellowship.

Among the cases on which Acker worked was Clinton v Jones, where she assisted both the Solicitor General and President Clinton's personal attorneys in preparing for oral argument. In private practice, Acker's legal work spanned a broad variety of matters, from civil litigation involving public and private entities, to various constitutional cases, to providing constitutional cases, to the provision of business counseling and advice. She also maintained a commitment to pro bono work, receiving the ACLU's First Amendment Award for her successful representation of a group of homeless individuals against the City of Santa Barbara.

Barbra Streisand's sister, Roslyn Kind, has been busy over the last few years producing and releasing songs such as "Save the Country," "Light of Love," and "It Only Takes a Moment: Kiss Me Now."  Roslyn is a dynamic, multi-talented entertainer who has forged a successful career in all facets of entertainment, from critically acclaimed recordings to sold-out performances on Broadway and in top concert venues and nightclubs worldwide. She has frequently shared the stage with her sister, Barbra, and her nephew, Jason Gould. Most recently, Roslyn realized a dream of combining two hits, "Look of Love" and "The Island," resulting in a medley that celebrates love in all its forms while reinforcing the belief that love can be found at any age. Roslyn is proud and excited to offer a very special six-minute video short where she stars and serves as producer. The London Times noted, "To say she is superb would be an understatement."  She began her performing career while still in her teens with the release of her first album, “Give Me You.” A whirlwind of performing activity followed, including engagements at the nation's top nightclubs, acclaim from Time Magazine, and three appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show leading up to her show-stopping New York debut at the Plaza Hotel's legendary Persian Room. Roslyn's extensive television credits include a humorously memorable turn as herself on CBS's “The Nanny.” This appearance also showcased her talent as a songwriter in a performance of her composition, “Light of Love.”  She has appeared on virtually every major talk/variety show, including The Tonight Show, Saturday Night Live, Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood, and Good Morning America.  Roslyn also takes pride in her work for various animal welfare, Alzheimer's and AIDS-related charitable organizations, including HSUS, APLA and Broadway Cares Equity Fights AIDS, for which she contributed a song selection to Cabaret Noel, a volume in their annual series of holiday CD releases.  Roslyn has recently become a proud member of the She Angels, women supporting women by awarding grants to grassroots, female-founded, non-profit organizations that provide mentorship, funding, and resources to a diverse portfolio of women's and girls' causes. The New York Post summed it up best: "She's so good on so many levels; it's difficult to categorize her. This elegant, beautiful, petite, dynamo delight rules the stage with a royal command that demands adoration from every seat in the house." A native of Brooklyn, New York, she currently resides in Los Angeles.

From Jen Golbeck, the “internet's dog mom” behind the massive social media platform The Golden Ratio, and award-winning science writer Stacey Colino, comes THE PUREST BOND: Understanding the Human-Canine Connection. This science-based, comprehensive exploration of the profound bond between humans and dogs is perfect for fans of Our Dogs, Ourselves and What the Dog Knows. Dogs have been considered people's best friend for thousands of years, but never has the relationship between humans and their canine companions been as vitally important as it is today. With all of the seismic shifts in today's world, rates of anxiety and depression have been skyrocketing, and people have been turning to their dogs for solace and stability. Amidst these dire realities, something wonderful has taken shape. In the United States alone, dog adoptions doubled during the COVID-19 pandemic. As people have brought furry friends into their lives for the first time or seized this opportunity to deepen the connections they already have, they are looking to understand how owning a dog can change their lives. The Purest Bond explores the benefits our dogs can have on our physical, emotional, cognitive, and social well-being, often without our realizing it. Weaving together groundbreaking research and touching real-life stories, THE PUREST BOND explores not just the social benefits of owning a dog but the science of how dogs improve our emotional and physical health, mental acuity, and our ability to focus and absorb information. Most importantly, they remind us of what's right in the world—love, trust, affection, playtime, fresh air, and sunshine—even when so much feels wrong.

176: Guns & Art with Artist Bonnie Lautenberg and Congresswoman Debbie Mucarsel-Powell

This episode is dedicated to the extraordinary Congresswoman Gabby Giffords and her remarkable contributions to health, safety, humanity and the human spirit. Bonnie Lautenberg is an artist, photographer and writer. Her works have been featured in gallery shows, museums and art fairs throughout the country. In 2022, Lautenberg was appointed by the White House to the President's Advisory Committee on the Arts.  Lautenberg is the type of artist who seamlessly communicates her seasoned life experiences through the lens of her camera and her digital canvas. Currently, she divides her time between New York and Palm Beach ‒ retaining the ties she nurtured in Washington, DC while she was the wife of the late Senator Frank Lautenberg. She has been described as “having enough Washington insider stories to fill a book.” Giffords Senior Advisor Debbie Mucarsel-Powell was the first South American-born immigrant ever elected to Congress. Debbie immigrated to the United States at the age of 14 with her mother and three sisters. When she was 24, Debbie's father was murdered, which led her to dedicate her life to advocating for commonsense gun reform.   Debbie was elected to Florida's 26th Congressional District in 2018. In Congress, she focused on foreign affairs, education, healthcare policy, environmental sustainability, and gun violence prevention. She sat on the Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism & Homeland Security and served as Vice-Chair of the Gun Violence Prevention Task Force, where she led efforts to pass the first gun safety legislation in 25 years. Debbie came to Congress with more than 20 years of experience at the FIU College of Medicine, FIU College of Health & Urban Affairs, FIU College of Social Work, Justice and Public Affairs, and Miami-Dade College, as well as experience at nonprofits providing social services, education, and environmental sustainability. Fluent in Spanish, Debbie is also available for Spanish-language media. As someone that has spent her life's work on expanding access to quality healthcare – impacting the lives of thousands, she knows that it's inconceivable that politicians in D.C. would consider ripping away healthcare access from our families. Debbie understands we must continue to improve on what's working and fix what's broken in our health care system, not abandon people who need it the most. Giffords (www.Giffords.org) is a leader in the movement to end gun violence in America. Led by the former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, the organization brings decades of political, legal, and policy expertise to the fight for gun safety. Nearly 50,000 people died from gun violence in the U.S. in 2021. This uniquely American crisis leaves no community untouched — but it doesn't have to be this way. From universal background checks to community-based violence intervention strategies, we know that there are proven solutions that will make our country safer. In statehouses and courthouses across America, we're taking on the gun lobby and winning.  Since the tragedy at Sandy Hook in December 2012, the organization has helped pass more than 525 gun safety laws in nearly every state and Washington DC. Gun violence is a complex problem, and ending this epidemic will require a wide range of solutions. Giffords is committed to seeing this fight through, until the promise of a safe and just country is a reality for every person and community in America.

Known for his over-the-top behavior in and out of the ring, Adrien Broner has held multiple world championships in four weight classes, including the WBO super featherweight title from 2011 to 2012, the WBC lightweight title from 2012 to 2013, the WBA welterweight title in 2013, and the WBA light welterweight title from 2015 to 2016. In July 2018, Broner was ranked as the world's fourth-best light welterweight by the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board, and the eighth-best active welterweight by BoxRec. In December 2012, The Ring magazine ranked him as the world's fifth-best active boxer, pound for pound. Blessed with both power and speed, “The Problem” has since conquered a fourth weight class at 140 pounds and now looks to regain his spot at the top of the division. Broner is confident and flashy inside and outside of the ring. The Cincinnati native has backed up that bravado, too, winning world titles in three weight classes (130 pounds, 135 pounds, 147 pounds) by the age of 23. Broner's father introduced Adrien and his twin brother, Andre, to boxing when they were 6 years old. Adrien received the nickname “The Problem” from his parents, who struggled to keep their son's behavior in check. Broner became involved with gangs at a young age and credits boxing for pulling him away from that lifestyle. In 2022, Broner withdrew from his junior welterweight fight against Omar Figueroa citing mental health concerns. Later that year, he signed a three-fight deal with BLK Prime offering boxing fans a unique opportunity to see him live. Visit BLKPrime.com for details.

Her many film credits include “The Hills Have Eyes,” “The Howling,” “Cujo,” “Secret Admirer,” “The Frighteners,” “10” and of course, her role as Mary in Steven Spielberg's “E.T., The Extraterrestrial.” With over 280 TV movie and film credits on her resume, Dee Wallace is quite possibly the most active woman in entertainment. Dee's important message to the world is: Love yourself beyond anyone or anything else. Love yourself so much that you can't do anything that doesn't make you love yourself more. She began her channeled healing work over twenty years ago when she dropped to her knees after her husband's sudden death and asked for a way we could “heal ourselves.” Seconds later, she received her first message: use the light within you to heal yourself. She has passionately been teaching the art of self-creation ever since. Dee is a strong advocate for accepting (at an early age) our own magnificence and power in a positive, loving way. Her most recent book, “Born,” expands the concepts of Law of Attraction exponentially and simplifies everything you think you know about the power of Self-Creation. “Born” is a powerful book about how Spirituality, Brain Science, and Religion teach the same principles and how you can easily use them to create your life. She offers monthly webinars on a variety of creation subjects. Dee also conducts private sessions from her home in Woodland Hills, California via phone and in person. As a much sought after speaker, Dee has spoken at numerous national and international venues, appeared on every major news and talk show, and been featured on E! True Hollywood Stories and Oprah.

Vicki Barbolak is one of America's funniest and most authentic comedians. She was a fan favorite and top 10 finalist on Season 13 of America's Got Talent in 2018 on NBC. Howie Mandel told Vicki and America, “I think you just came up with your own sitcom, you're wonderful I love you.” And Simon said, “I think you're the best comedian we've had on this show.” Vicki was also featured on the 2019 AGT Champions show and Britain's Got Talent Champions. When Vicki was 38 years young, she saw an ad for a stand-up comedy class. That class changed her life. Vicki quickly realized that making people laugh gave her more happiness than she ever dreamed possible. After a few years of open mic nights, Vicki was taken under the wing of Mitzi Shore, owner of The Comedy Store where Vicki developed as a Comedian. E! Entertainment, in its True Hollywood Story of the Comedy Store and its owner, Mitzi Shore, predicted Vicki would be the next “breakout star” to come out of that famed institution. Drawing on her roller-coaster life of working in a family carpet business owned by her dad, a former Pittsburgh Steeler, dueling with ex-husbands who think alimony is an Italian ice-cream flavor and raising two great kids all while living in the ultra posh Vista Manor Trailer Park near San Diego. Vicki has created a comic persona that has earned her well-deserved praise. She is considered unique both in the character she has created as well as the fresh material she consistently delivers. In 2007 Vicki won Nickelodeon's “America's Funniest Mom” show hosted by Roseanne Barr. Roseanne was so impressed that she hired Vicki as one of her writers and requested that Vicki open for her at the New York New York Casino in Las Vegas. In addition to being crowned as America's Funniest Mom, Mark Ross and Bob Reid, Talent Coordinators for the Jay Leno Show selected Vicki for the 2010 Jay Leno Laugh Squad. Family Circle Magazine's September 2011 Issue profiles Vicki as an Expert in Joke Telling for their feature article, “How to Do Anything Better”. Vicki's true story about performing Stand up at a funeral was included in Mark Schiff and Rich Snyder's Best Selling Book, “I Killed, Road Stories from America's Top Comics”.

New York Times Best Selling author of “Confessions of a Prairie Bitch: How I Survived Nellie Oleson and Learned to Love Being Hated,” Alison Arngrim is best known to viewers world-wide for her portrayal of the incredibly nasty “Nellie Oleson” on the much loved, long running hit television series "Little House on the Prairie," and continues to amuse audiences through her many film, television and stage appearances. Her one woman show “Confessions of a Prairie Bitch”, which started at Club Fez in New York in 2002, has now become a world-wide phenomenon, having been performed to packed houses in New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle, and in France, where Alison performs entirely in French to standing room only crowds in her all French version titled: “Confessions d'une Garce de La Prairie”. In 1986 when her friend and "Little House husband" co-star, Steve Tracy, passed away due to complications of HIV/AIDS, Alison began volunteering at AIDS Project Los Angeles. Her duties ranged from working on the Southern California AIDS Hotline and the APLA food bank, to chairing the steering committee of the volunteer speakers bureau and developing “Safer Sex” workshops. She has provided AIDS education to doctors, nurses, prison inmates, service clubs, churches, department stores and schools, written AIDS education articles for the magazines "Frontiers" and "Designers West” and spent seven years hosting the APLA educational cable television show, "AIDS Vision." In 1992, Joel Wachs presented Alison with a resolution by the Los Angeles City Council commending her on her work on behalf of people living with HIV and AIDS. From 1989 through 1993 she served as Program Manager at Tuesday's Child, an organization assisting children and families affected by HIV and AIDS. From 1989 through 2003 she served as both hostess and producer for the comedy stage at the AIDS Project Los Angeles Annual Summer Party, where she helped to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for people living with HIV. She currently serves as California Chair, National Spokesperson and Founding Board Member on the National Advisory Board of The National Association to Protect Children (www.PROTECT.org), fighting to give children a legal and political voice in the war against child abuse. As an activist for the improvement of child protection laws, she has spoken before the California Senate and worked on legislative and political campaigns in several states, including Virginia and New York, in addition to PROTECT's work on federal legislation in Washington, D.C. She has appeared on numerous television news programs discussing the legal and political issues surrounding child abuse and molestation. She came forward to tell the world about the sexual abuse she suffered in her own life, during her 2004 interview on Larry King Live. She continues to be interviewed on this and other topics on Nancy Grace, CNN's Showbiz Tonight, The Insider, Court TV, and Bill O'Reilly's The Factor. She takes pride in the fact that so many people enjoyed hating her as a girl and is more than happy to give them the opportunity to do so in the future. "My fans have proudly taken on the name "Bonnetheads" to designate their love of all things Prairie and many have posted pictures themselves wearing bonnets while they read along at home," remarks Alison.

A house-filling favorite in Las Vegas since she opened as one of the hottest tickets in town in June 2000, Rita Rudner is known for her epigrammatic one-liners. Over the course of a multi-year run she sold almost two million tickets, grossed over a hundred million dollars and become the longest-running solo female comedy show in the history of Las Vegas. She was named Las Vegas's Comedian of The Year nine years in a row and in 2006 received The Nevada Ballet's Woman Of The Year Award. In October 2017 she was given the Casino Entertainment Legend Award. Rita's first solo HBO special, “Rita Rudner's One Night Stand”, was nominated for several awards, as was her eponymous English BBC television show that later appeared in the USA on A&E. Rudner's two one-hour specials for HBO, “Born to Be Mild” and “Married Without Children,” were ratings standouts and she performed all over the country, filling Carnegie Hall in New York three times. In 2008 Rita Rudner: Live From Las Vegas was PBS's first ever stand-up comedy special. Rita Rudner has written five books; her bestselling non-fiction titles, “Naked Beneath My Clothes,” “Rita Rudner's Guide to Men,” and “I Still Have It…I Just Can't Remember Where I Put It,” plus the novels “Tickled Pink” and “Turning the Tables.” The audio version of “Naked Beneath My Clothes” received a Grammy nomination. She just released her autobiography, “My Life in Dog Years.” Rudner is a frequent collaborator with her writer/producer husband of thirty years, Martin Bergman. The couple's first produced film script was “Peter's Friends.” The film, starring Emma Thompson, Hugh Laurie, Kenneth Branagh, Imelda Staunton, Stephen Fry, and Rita, won the Evening Standard Peter Sellers Award for Best British Film and was nominated for the Goya Award for Best European Film of 1994. The script was nominated for a WGA Best Screenplay Award and Rita won Best Supporting Actress at the American Comedy Awards. Rita Rudner moved to New York at the age of fifteen to become a dancer on Broadway. She appeared in several shows, including the original productions of “Follies” and “Mack and Mabel.” It was while in “Annie” on Broadway that she began exploring the comedy clubs of Manhattan. In the early ‘80s, Rudner took a full-time leap from chorus lines to punch lines and was soon a regular guest on both Late Night with David Letterman and The Tonight Show. In June 2016 Rita was invited and honored to speak about her career and technique in comedy at Cambridge University, England. In 2017 she was invited by Oprah Winfrey to appear on a cruise to Alaska that Oprah did in partnership with Holland America. In 2018, Rita's tenth TV special was released: “A Tale Of Two Dresses.” The special also featured Rita and Martin's singer/songwriter daughter Molly Bergman.

Stefanie Powers began her career at age 15, dancing for famed Broadway choreographer, Jerome Robbins. She was put under contract to Columbia Pictures in the final years of the Hollywood Star system. While under contract, she appeared in 15 of the 24 motion pictures she has made, co-starring with screen legends such as John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara, Lana Turner, Ava Gardner, David Niven, Roger Moore, Bing Crosby, Lee Remick, James Caan and Sammy Davis, Jr. Her first television series, “The Girl from U.N.C.L.E,” marked a milestone in U.S. television's history as the first hour long series featuring a female in the leading role. Her television career includes seven mini-series, over 55 television shows, 36 movies for television and the long running “Hart to Hart” starring opposite Robert Wagner. She became a member of the Screen Writers' Guild of America in the 1980s and has produced several of the screenplays she has written. Her writing has extended itself to a memoir called “One from the Hart.” Throughout her career she has never neglected her theatrical roots. Among other musical performances, she appeared in the UK in the West End production of “The King and I,” which also toured the United States for ten months. While appearing in a production of “Love Letters” in the Middle East, she received a request form dear friend Valerie Harper asking her to take over the role of Tallulah Bankhead in the play “Looped.” “Looped is about the encounter between the infamous actress Tallulah Bankhead re-recording a line of dialogue for the 1965 film “Die! Die! My Darling!,” the last film Ms. Bankhead would ever make. Ironically, Stefanie co-starred in the film “Die! Die! My Darling!” with Miss Bankhead. She is founder and president of the William Holden Wildlife Foundation, established in 1982 to continue and to further her long-time partner's conservation work in East Africa after his death.

Randall Kenneth Jones is an author, keynote speaker, comic actor, communications pro and host of the popular Jones.Show podcast. His literary journey began with his 2016 book, a celebrity interview-infused, feel-good opus entitled “Show Me: Celebrities, Business Tycoons, Rock Stars, Journalists, Humanitarians, Attack Bunnies & More!” His first fiction book, RUBY, was released on 9/23/22 and published by Mark Victor Hansen of CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL fame. A playful mystery, defined by the author as “more of a ‘who is she' than a whodunnit,” RUBY follows an appealing cast of mature characters who not only rediscover and reinvent themselves but reshape our view of the words “holiday spirit” in the process. In the words of pop culture icon Erin Brockovich, “[RUBY] evokes memories of “The Golden Girls,” “Harry Potter,” and even “Peyton Place” — everybody seems to be up to something—yet [Jones] stays true to his ongoing quest to look for the best in people. He shines in his ability to simultaneously embrace the laughter and tears while deftly peeling back the layers to expose the inner truth. And though Randy never preaches to the reader from a literary pulpit, RUBY has much to teach about the ageless art of being human.” For more information, visit www.RubyBook.info JONES.SHOW is a weekly podcast featuring host Randall Kenneth Jones (author, speaker & creative communications consultant) and Susan C.
