Podcasts about silence breakers

Pam Bondi said she had it. Then she said it was coming out at 8 AM. Then… nothing. Now, she's in hiding, refusing to address why the long-awaited Epstein list is still being kept from the public. But she's not the only one responsible for this sham. The new FBI Director, Kash Patel, and even Donald Trump are complicit in this failure to deliver the truth.And let's talk about those so-called “Conservative” influencers who turned the Bondi binders into a circus act. Handing out redacted files full of nothing but black ink wasn't a win—it was a total disgrace. They gamified children's trauma, treating the horrific abuse of minors as a political spectacle instead of demanding real justice. Rather than doubling down on their wrongness, they need to admit they got played.So, WHERE OH WHERE  is the Epstein list? Why are we STILL waiting? And who's actually protecting the predators? We're getting into all of it—no spin, no excuses, just Uncommon Sense.--https://noblegoldinvestments.com/

Trigger Warning: This episode discusses sexual violence and human trafficking.  How do you turn life's biggest challenges into strength and fuel for activism?  Learn from Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actor Ashley Judd as she shares how her experiences being exploited as a child have taught her that “it is [her] birthright to heal.” She is joined by Catherine Chen, CEO of Polaris, the organization working to end sex and labor trafficking, for which Ashley is the spokesperson and activist. This is a solution-forward dialogue that helps to better understand the causes, systemic factors, and opportunities to improve this large issue, which is too often invisible.  In this episode: What constitutes sex and labor exploitation How men play a role and can take action to prevent trafficking  How pornography contributes to the continuation of harmful behaviors How traffickers use coercion and grooming to lure people in  The urgent need for societal and economic reforms to effectively fight these crimes This is a personal, riveting and inspiring conversation that informs and provides hope, despite the heavy topics. We all have a responsibility to open our eyes to how we might be unknowingly upholding or allowing vulnerable people to become victims of trafficking. Ashley and Catherine provide a passionate and uplifting way in. Timecodes: Quotes: "It is my birthright to heal. I am healing. I was born to heal. Healing is my mandate. I am healing right now" - Ashley Judd "Trafficking happens because our systems are broken. We start with the fundamental, which is we don't have enough economic equity, we don't have enough basic income equity in the United States." - Catherine Chen "I was commercially sexually exploited when I was 15 years old and I was ‘allegedly' modeling in Japan. It was commercial sexual exploitation. So, I had a lot of healing to do" - Ashley Judd About Guests: Catherine Chen  Catherine Chen is the CEO of Polaris, an organization at the forefront of the fight against sex and labor trafficking in the United States.

[This blog will always be free to read, but it's also how I pay my bills. If you have suggestions or feedback on how I can earn your paid subscription, shoot me an email: cmclymer@gmail.com.]Yesterday, obscure singer-songwriter Taylor Swift got her big break and was honored as TIME Magazine's Person of the Year. This is the second time she's been recognized with the title, along with being part of the “Silence Breakers” cohort honored by the magazine in 2017, making her the first woman to achieve this twice.She's also, technically, the first Person of the Year to be honored specifically for impact and influence deriving from her artistic achievements. Predictably, her selection has been controversial, and I find it delightful. It's a goddamn treat. Few things are more instantly pleasing to me than a certain type of man being irrationally disgruntled at the thought of a woman being at the top of the heap.I am 100% here for Taylor Swift being named TIME's Person of the Year because of how much it clearly pisses off insecure men who find it unthinkable that a public figure adored this much by young women could be so undeniably powerful.But moreover, any grown adult taking TIME's Person of the Year seriously enough to get angry over it is hilarious to me. Setting aside its enduring prestige for a moment, if we're looking just at the objective nature of all this, Person of the Year is far more arbitrary than, say, an Oscar, and only a few notches less arbitrary than an MTV Video Music Award (of which Ms. Swift has won 23—second only to Beyoncé—which am I pointing out, again, to annoy a certain type of insecure man who inexplicably cares about these things).That is to say, yes, this is an iconic honor, and also: people tend to place far too much importance on it, mostly because we've conditioned to hold it in reverence, most of us clearly needing to be reminded that this is a rather arbitrary decision made by a small group of people through a predominantly American lens.Since 1927, the editors of TIME Magazine have annually selected an individual, group, idea, or object that “for better or worse… has done the most to influence the events of the year.”This is, of course, for so many reasons, a fool's errand, even if we pretend this is being deliberated in the spirit of that clear standard. (It is not.)What is influence? What is impact? What is newsworthiness? None of these terms have concrete metrics in this context. The only thing that matters here is that the editors are going off vibes, and then, much of the public will respond to the editors with “no, those vibes are wrong; what about my vibes?” and other parts of the public will respond to those members of the public with “No, your vibes are wrong, too — only my vibes are right”, etc.Everyone in this conversation is going off vibes. There are very few people who actually care about this enough to present a comprehensive argument for why their selection is the right one, along with salient rebuttals to the selections of others.TIME's Person of the Year is the kind of cultural symbol that the vast majority of us usually take just seriously enough for basic acknowledgment but not so much that we actively give a damn. Others in this category include: the turkeys pardoned by the President every year, ringing the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange, and, of course, the MTV Video Music Awards.It's a fun game we all play. The folks at TIME announce their decision with an appropriate attempt at gravitas. We, the public, debate it for a little bit and pretend to argue on the merits. Occasionally, as in 2006, the choice is widely mocked. And by New Year's Eve, we've all forgotten to care.But for several days following the announcement, some people seem to care a lot, and they never fail to trot out the eyeroll-inducing argument that takes a lazy stab at being edgy. They'll say that if it were truly about having the most influence, certain unpopular people should have received the honor.They'll say Osama bin Laden had the most influence and impact on the world in 2001 or that Emperor Hirohito should have taken the title in 1941. I guarantee you, as I type this, there are edgelords somewhere online asserting that Hamas had the most influence on the world this year and should have thusly been named.These people are almost always a certain kind of man who insists on explaining to you how the world works, especially if you're a woman. They have far too much time on their hands. They are boring and insufferable. If these men applied as much scrutiny to their personal lives as they do in shamelessly assessing the validity of women's accomplishments through their lens of undaunted mediocrity, perhaps they wouldn't spend so many of their waking hours in online chat forums whining to each other about supposedly compulsory chivalry on dates, which is ironic given that no woman has agreed to go on a date with them in many years. They're also the only ones who appear to not get this that this whole TIME's Person of the Year thing isn't meant to be definitive. It's an honor given with a wink. It's somewhere between a respected formality and an inside joke. Sometimes, it's quite serious, and sometimes, it's less-than-serious.Here's my unsolicited view: there's a decent range of plausibility when it comes to global influence, and with enough superlatives, there's a surprisingly long list of worthy choices for Person of the Year.Taylor Swift undeniably falls in that range of plausibility. It's not just that The Eras Tour will be the highest-grossing concert tour of all-time. Ever. Anywhere in the world. It's not just that heads of state like President Gabriel Boric of Chile and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada have publicly lobbied Swift to include their countries on the international tour. It's not just that the tour's consumer net spending ($4.6 billion, so far) is more than the GDP of almost 50 countries. It's not just that USA Today hired a reporter specifically to cover all things Taylor Swift or that the NFL went into hyperdrive merchandising when Swift began dating Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce (and even changed their social accounts into unapologetic Swiftie fandom) or that no less than Billy Joel and Paul McCartney have ranked Swift among the all-time great songwriters.It's not just that Swift helped register more than 35,000 new voters with one (1) short message on her Instagram or that some conservatives clearly perceive her as an enormous electoral threat and have been attempting to diminish her standing (to no effect.)All of that is neat and make for persuasive talking points in favor of the selection, but for me, it's just the sheer ubiquity of Taylor Alison Swift. She is, outside of a select group of heads-of-state, the most famous person in the world. She is certainly the most famous non-officeholder in the world. And she is absolutely the most famous anyone has ever been without being problematic.Swift holds so much power at the moment—a global bully pulpit on steroids—that she could plausibly, in theory, shape world events on any given day, should she choose to do so.To fans of Swift and most people under the age of 40, this has been a long time coming, seen as inevitable years ago to anyone willing to pay the slightest attention to the interests and concerns of young women. This has been coming from miles away.I think there are a lot of insecure men waking up to this reality and being startled to discover that even if it's TIME's attempt to capitalize on a commercial behemoth (sure), it doesn't negate Swift's unquestionable hold on the zeitgeist.Our society has a long history of doing this when it comes to aspects of culture strongly associated with women, especially young women. Historically, men in power have failed to take young women seriously — their interests seen as trivial, their opinions seen as fluff.Taylor Swift represents a seismic power shift away from male-dominated structures to something that looks a little more like the other half of humanity. We love to see it. [Quick note: my good friend Jenny Keleman is selling these flat-out amazing markers, a wonderful holiday gift, and I told her I'd spread the word. Because they're that fun.

Her home became a crime scene; she lost her job, friends, family members, security, and identity. She spent months building a mixed-media installation so people could “see” rape and lept into the role of a public survivor. Programs and resources for trauma were limited, and it was admittedly easier to focus on others than her recovery.She found purpose, a new identity, and a community, but inside, she was a shell of herself. She became masterful at putting on a brave face and hid her PTSD, panic attacks, eating disorders, and isolation from the world. She focused on busyness, working a full-time job and, as a member of three speaker's bureaus, speaking at schools, hospitals, and events, during her lunch breaks or “doctor's appointments.” She became a trained emergency room advocate and lobbied for bills on Capitol Hill, but it was years before she looked inward to heal her trauma.A decade later, the perpetrator was caught through a cold case hit. The NYPD SVU, friends, and advocates were immensely supportive, but the trial re-traumatized her. She left the events industry and transitioned to freelance writing to write what was true for her in her language, on her timeline. Leading workshops and coaching writers and non-writers felt so natural that she decided to merge her advocacy, activism, and write under one umbrella. Today, she helps survivors, including MeToo activists, Weinstein victims, and the Silence Breakers, with their statements, articles, personal essays, and op-eds. She uses narrative techniques to help non-writers heal and rediscover their true selves. She also offers services to those who work with survivors: lawyers whose clients need guidance with their victim impact statements and therapists who integrate creative writing into survivors' healing process. Recently, she launched a weekly workshop and movement, Sorry That Happened to You, taught a class on Writing and the Body, completed a book proposal on her experience as a sexual assault survivor who was barely surviving, and a screenplay based on these events.Connect with Marnie Website: writetohealing.comInstagram: @marniegoodfriendSupport the show!Want to learn more about us?

In 2017, TIME magazine released an article titled Silence Breakers in 2017, which featured & was dedicated to the survivors/victims of sexual harassment from sexual predators in the workplace. The Silence Breakers was a list of people who had publicly shared their experiences about their individual stories relating to workplace sexual harassment. In this series, Volume 1, we decided to speak to casting directors [Angelique Midthunder, and Lisa Zambetti] currently working in Holly-wood to take us on the journey inside the casting process to find out the possibility of being blackballed, and to analyze the list of 20 actors on the Silence Breakers list - could they have been blackballed because of their act of breaking the code of silence?

The Silence Breakers was a list of people who had publicly shared their experiences about their individual stories relating to workplace sexual harassment. In this series, Volume 1, we decided to speak to casting directors [Angelique Midthunder, and Lisa Zambetti] currently working in Holly-wood to take us on the journey inside the casting process to find out the possibility of being blackballed, and to analyze the list of 20 actors on the Silence Breakers list - could they have been blackballed because of their act of breaking the code of silence?

It has been just a handful of years since the Silence Breakers were named the Person of the Year by Time Magazine and #Metoo became a familiar hashtag. Then, it spread to #ChurchToo and our eyes continued to open to the reality of Power Abuse happening both in our world And…even sometimes in our Churches. We have been so hurt by the abusive power in our world, our generation struggles not to become cynical towards every leader, every politician, every pastor, every person in a position of power. But does power always have to lead to the abuse of power? To join us in our conversation today, we have Spiritual Leader, Justice Advocate, Communicator & Peacemaker Danielle Strickland. Danielle's aggressive compassion has served people firsthand in countries all over the world. From establishing justice departments and church plants, to launching global anti-trafficking initiatives, to creating new initiatives to mobilize people towards transformational living. https://www.daniellestrickland.com/Instagram: @DanielleJStrickland

In 2017, twenty-five-year-old Susan Fowler came forward to discuss the sexual harassment and retaliation she’d experienced as an entry-level engineer at Uber. Her story went viral, leading to the ousting of Uber’s CEO and contributing to a wave of vigilance against sexual harassment that has been cited as a critical factor in the movements against figures such as Harvey Weinsten. Fowler made her way to Town Hall with excerpts from her memoir Whistleblower: My Journey To Silicon Valley And Fight For Justice At Uber, chronicling her stand against the pervasive culture of sexism, harassment, racism, and abuse at Uber. In conversation with KUOW’s Carolyn Adolph, Fowler revealed how, when was told that she was the problem, she banded together with other women to try to make change. When that didn’t work, she went public. She could never have anticipated what would follow: that she would be investigated, followed, and harassed; that her words would change much more than Uber; or that they would set her on a course toward finally achieving her dreams. Join Fowler and Adolph as they explored Fowler’s unbelievable true story of her experiences facing down one of the most valuable startups in Silicon Valley history—and the fallout that arose from her stand against inequality. Susan Fowler is an editor at the New York Times who edits the “Op-Eds from the Future” series. Previously she worked at Stripe as the founding editor in chief of Increment, and was one of the “Silence Breakers” named Person of the Year by TIME. Carolyn Adolph is a reporter for KUOW who covers Seattle’s growth by looking at the city’s major companies. She’s also a co-host of KUOW’s Prime(d) podcast. Presented by Town Hall Seattle. Recorded live in The Great Hall on February 25, 2020. 

What has happened? In all, at least 80 women had accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual misconduct stretching back decades, including actresses Gwyneth Paltrow and Uma Thurman. Accusations emerged in the media in October 2017 and Weinstein was charged in May 2018. The allegations were at the centre of the #MeToo movement that prompted women to go public with misconduct allegations against powerful men. On 24 February 2020, Weinstein was convicted in New York of a first-degree criminal sexual act and third-degree rape. A third-degree rape charge in New York is defined as "engaging in sexual intercourse with a person who is incapable of consent, or under age 17, or who has not given consent for a reason other than the inability to consent". The sexual assault was against his former production assistant Mimi Haleyi in 2006, and the third-degree rape was against Jessica Mann, a former aspiring actress, in 2013. Weinstein was acquitted on three charges, including two counts of predatory sexual assault, which carried a potential life sentence and a count of first-degree rape of Jessica Mann. What happens now? On 11 March 2020 Weinstein will be sentenced and is facing at least 5 years in prison and up to 25 years over the guilty verdicts. Weinstein's lawyers have confirmed that they will be appealing the conviction.  The following could be taken into account by the judge: No remorse or early guilty plea May be some consideration of his physical health issues Will he succeed with any appeal?  If as anticipated, Weinstein appeals, it could be in relation to what might be considered the controversial move by the prosecution to call evidence from “complainants” who were not complainants in the criminal proceedings: give a “dog a bad name”…? The reaction “The Silence Breakers” (the term used to refer to Weinstein’s accusers as a group) issued a statement written on behalf of 23 of Weinstein’s accusers: “It is disappointing that the outcome does not deliver the true, full justice… [but] Harvey Weinstein will not forever be known as a convicted serial predator". The case has also exposed “the difficulties women face coming forward to tell the truth about powerful abusers”. The story is far from over The following should be noted: Civil complaints are ongoing In December 2019 lawyers said they reached a tentative $25m/£19m deal with some accusers He is still to face charges in Los Angeles Further to an investigation into 8 allegations Charges filed in regards to two incidents in February 2013 – an anonymized female Italian actor on 18 February and a model named Lauren Young (who was a witness in the New York trial) on 19 February . The allegations Include rape, forcible oral copulation, sexual penetration by use of force and sexual battery by restraint, and all carrying a potential 28-year prison sentence.

Actress, Comedienne and Writer, Sarah Ann Masse joins Tony to speak about her role in "The Silence Breakers", a group of women at the front of the Me Too movement in Hollywood at the forefront of the Harvey Weinstein case. Sarah speaks in depth about her experiences, how all the women involved found each other, trauma and how the body stores it, how she was blackballed from the film industry for speaking up and so much more.

Recorded on June 13, 2019. A career retrospective with Terry Crews. Moderated by Jenelle Riley, Variety. Terry Crews - Host of America’s Got Talent: The Champions and America’s Got Talent season 14 Action-movie hero, sitcom star, children’s book illustrator, advertising pitchman, playable video game character, talent show host, high-end furniture designer, and human rights activist all describe the man that is Terry Crews. If it feels as if Crews is everywhere this summer, that’s because he is: Crews stars on the NBC hit series Brooklyn Nine-Nine which will return midseason. After hosting January’s America’s Got Talent: Champions, which earned the HIGHEST RATINGS of any show in its demo, NBC signed Crews as the official host of their regular broadcast of America’s Got Talent which will premiered Tuesday, May 28th at 8pm. Crews is also the face (and muscles) of Old Spice, a playable character in Microsoft’s Xbox One game Crackdown 3, and a force in the design and art world where his 2017 high-end furniture collection, in partnership with iconic Bernhardt Designs, has been picking up awards across the country and he’s about to release his second collection later this fall. Crews was also named one of TIME Magazine’s 2017 “Person of the Year” as one of the “Silence Breakers,” speaking out against sexual harassment following the MeToo movement that has taken the world by storm. Crews’ no-holds-barred approach to working has made him a force to be reckoned with as his career continues to evolve.

We’re to live in the world, but not be of the world. We’re called to steep ourselves in the truth and edify each other in holy huddles, but then we must hike the ball…and move it down the field, and that’s dangerous. So, Jesus prays to God for our protection as his followers go into the world to be light in the darkness. Join us this Sunday at 11:00 am or 5:00 pm. "I am not asking you to take them out of the world, but I ask you to protect them from the evil one." John 17:15, NRSV.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TerryCrews#Personallife On October 10, 2017, in the wake of numerous Hollywood actresses going public with their stories of sexual harassment and assault by film producer Harvey Weinstein, Crews revealed that a Hollywood executive had groped him at a party in 2016 and that he did not publicize the incident for fear of retaliation.[26][27] It was later revealed that the "high-level executive" was Adam Venit, head of the motion picture department of the talent company William Morris Endeavor (WME).[28] For his part in coming forward with the sexual assault allegations, Crews was named as one of the "Silence Breakers" from the Time Person of the Year award in 2017.[29] When WME reportedly concluded from investigation that the incident was an isolated one, Venit returned to work after a one-month suspension, but was demoted from his position. In response, Crews stated, "Someone got a pass".[30] Crews has filed a lawsuit against Venit and WME for sexual assault.[31] WME responded to the lawsuit, arguing that Crews' claims were "both swift and serious" after having formally apologized, and showing willingness to let go of the incident.[32] In March 2018, prosecutors decided not to file any charges against Venit. The city attorney's office claimed that the statute of limitations for them to prosecute Venit had expired as the incident was in February 2016 and Crews had decided not to report the incident until November 2017.[33] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blake_Leibel Blake Leibel is a Canadian convicted murderer. He has previously been a comic book creator, graphic novelist, screenwriter, and fledgling Hollywood animated film director, residing in Los Angeles, California since 2004 https://www.gamerevolution.com/geek-culture/415077-cosplayer-momokun-canceled-by-community-for-sexual-harassment The latest figure to fall foul of the community effort to rid itself of sexual assault is the cosplayer known as Momokun, real name Mariah Mallad. Having gained her popularity in the community, it is now offering her little more than infamy, with the vocal majority calling for her removal from platforms she once profited from. https://www.acoupleofaveragejoes.com/ https://www.patreon.com/acoupleofaveragejoes

But the technology community, especially with its inherent power imbalance between startup founders and wealthy financiers, has faced a set of unique problems that plague how young innovative companies get off the ground.

Negli ultimi mesi del 2017 si è squarciato un velo, quello del silenzio sulle molestie subite non solo dalle attrici sulle quali Harvey Weinstein ha commesso o provato a commettere abusi, ma anche su migliaia di altre donne: lo scandalo si è esteso, estendendosi alla politica e al mondo delle aziende, tanto che la rivista Time ha dedicato la copertina con il personaggio dell'anno alle "Silence Breakers", coloro che hanno rotto il silenzio: tra loro Ashley Judd, ma anche Susan Fowler, l'ingegnere informatico di Uber le cui denunce hanno portato al licenziamento di 20 dipendenti e alle dimissioni dell'amministratore delegato. Rotto il muro, il 2018 potrebbe essere l'anno del cambiamento.

This week, Dahlia and Amy breakdown Time’s much-anticipated “Person of the Year” magazine cover and cover story, and the continued fallout from the Weinstein effect. We thank our respective dieties that Trump’s ego isn’t being fed for being on the Time cover, but another white supremacist icon graces its cover instead. Taylor Swift accompanies Ashley Judd, agricultural worker Isabel Pascual, former Uber engineer Susan Fowler, lobbyist Adama Iwu, and an anonymous hospital worker who represents those who are unable to speak out publicly. Though Swift had her own sexual harassment suit to contend with, we dig into whether or not she’s really a “silence breaker.” Then they discuss the latest batch of folks of predators and why Woody Allen is still a protected Hollywood institution (like, wyd, Kate Winslet?).

We continue to wrap up the year by discussing the latest in politics and culture. This episode we discuss Hari Kondabolu's documentary The Problem With Apu, Trump's Jerusalem actions, Time magazine's The Silence Breakers, Disney's growing empire, and much more.

Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast series Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by veteran Trial Attorney Susan Wild. Susan is currently running for Congress in Pennsylvania’s 15th district and is here to talk about sexual assault.   In what turned out to be one our most impactful episodes yet, Susan Wild talks about her career as a lawyer, gerrymandering, her congressional campaign, and the recent culture shift that is inspiring women to come out and tell their stories of sexual assault; to come out and face their accusers.   Aaron and Susan talk about the movement and the fact that some people are going to get exposed. And, in an amazing display of courage and solidarity, Susan tells us her own story of sexual assault in the workplace.   She tells us, as a young attorney at a big law firm she was working with a Sr. Partner at the firm. Over the course of a few months he came on to her. He asked her to stay late, drive him home after he drank too much at the office, made her come on long trips out of town and would make advances towards her. After telling another Partner at the firm what was happening and how it made her feel, he said he would look into it.   Months went by with no changes, the Sr. Partner continued his advances, continued to grope her, and continued drinking to excess. Finally, sometime later, the Sr. Partner was fired, not for his actions towards the women in the office, but because of his drinking.   It was an incredibly moving episode that provides a first-hand account of what the women who have come forward are really going through.

In recent months explosive amounts of high profile allegations of sexual harassment, assault, and varying acts of inappropriate behavior have transcended every sector of our professional world. With a deluge from Hollywood and politics, and the private workforce, accusations have inundated our feeds and mass media. This harassment watershed has not only been felt within the constraints of high profile communities. It has affected every echelon of our society and impacts businesses, religious institutions, education, entertainment and government. We have seen a multitude of brave faces, who Time Magazine calls the Silence Breakers, come forward and stand up to Cosby, Weinstein, Trump, Ailes, Conyers, Moore and Spacey. No longer can businesses neglect the need to educate and protect themselves as well as their employees. This pivotal moment is a call to action for business owners, supervisors and employees to focus on the policies and culture they contribute to in the workplace.; In this episode Nasir and Matt take a moment to reorient its listeners to well established legal principles as it applies to sexual harassment, especially in the current environment. Full Podcast Transcript NASIR: Welcome to our podcast! My name is Nasir Pasha. MATT: And I’m Matt Staub. Two attorneys here with Pasha Law, practicing in California, Texas, New York, and Illinois. NASIR: And this is where we cover business in the news and add our legal twist to that news. Today, we’re talking about, oh, so topical, right? You know, we try to stay as topical as we can, but this is almost too much. I bet you, when this is coming out, it’s not even close to being over, and I’m trying to figure out a name for it. Basically, what’s going on with sexual harassment and sexual assault allegations that are going on in a high-profile sense. But we’re going to take a look at it more on a practical perspective in how it actually still applies. In a sense, the law hasn’t changed here. The law may be changing, but this stuff has been going on for a while. We can talk about those that are business owners, how you can protect your business and protect your employees from this kind of environment. I think that’s very important right now. MATT: Yeah, I think the caveat should be, if you’re a business owner that’s participating in this sexual misconduct, this probably isn’t the episode for you. The advice for that’s pretty simple. NASIR: Yeah, that’s a very, very good caveat. But, at the same time, just because you made mistakes in the past doesn’t mean that you can’t change the culture and environment you have in the future as well. We’re going to talk a lot about that. We’re going to talk about just the general nature of the law and where it’s changing and also talk about some of the more salacious topics that are going on in the news as well. MATT: Sure. I think what’s helpful to start out is just to kind of lay out or define what exactly sexual harassment is. NASIR: Oh, I was going to say, what are people calling this? I don’t want to call it a movement because that doesn’t make sense. They call it a watershed moment. MATT: Yeah. NASIR: Is it a sexual harassment watershed moment? I’m not sure. MATT: We have the whole episode to figure this out. NASIR: Okay, I’ll come up with something. MATT: The reason I think it’s helpful to define it – and we’re kind of seeing this now – obviously, there are some allegations that are pretty severe and some that are not as severe, but the importance is that it’s a very broad definition of what can be considered sexual harassment. Generally speaking, it’s unwanted sexual advances or visual, verbal, or physical conduct of a sexual nature and that’s both same sex and different sex that we’re dealing with here. Generally speaking, what would be behavior that would fall under this? You can kind of put it into categories. I’ll start with the more obvious. I’ll start with the most severe and kind of work our way down.

Triv and Lanigan are in discussing Time Magazine naming "The Silence Breakers" Person of the Year, Rep.

We go to the President live making remarks regarding Israel. Dana discusses the reasoning behind moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem. Dana hates her husband’s choice for a chandelier.

TIME magazine names the “Silence Breakers” their Person of the Year for the bravery of the #MeToo movement.

My body. My rules. Today is a big day! Time Magazine got it right! So glad to see the "Silence Breakers" of the #MeToo movement were chosen as their Person of the Year on the cover. In this podcast I sit down with my good friend and radio colleague Alley Faith to talk about these issues. As someone that has been a victim of sexual harassment and sexual assault at the work place at a past employer and I wasn't believed - it's awesome to see that change is finally happening and that people are being held accountable. Enough with the abuse of power, enough of the silencing of victims. The day of reckoning is here. I hope this podcast encourages more conversation. Thanks for listening! -Elizabeth

Time Magazine's people of the year are "the Silence Breakers", the women behind the #MeToo movement and who came forward to start the trend of calling out sexual misconduct. Between this and most millennials not like the state of politics, what is the state of the parties? Are politicians hiding behind religion and morals without living by those morals?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Crews#Personal_life On October 10, 2017, in the wake of numerous Hollywood actresses going public with their stories of sexual harassment and assault by film producer Harvey Weinstein, Crews revealed that a Hollywood executive had groped him at a party in 2016 and that he did not publicize the incident for fear of retaliation.[26][27] It was later revealed that the "high-level executive" was Adam Venit, head of the motion picture department of the talent company William Morris Endeavor (WME).[28] For his part in coming forward with the sexual assault allegations, Crews was named as one of the "Silence Breakers" from the Time Person of the Year award in 2017.[29] When WME reportedly concluded from investigation that the incident was an isolated one, Venit returned to work after a one-month suspension, but was demoted from his position. In response, Crews stated, "Someone got a pass".[30] Crews has filed a lawsuit against Venit and WME for sexual assault.[31] WME responded to the lawsuit, arguing that Crews' claims were "both swift and serious" after having formally apologized, and showing willingness to let go of the incident.[32] In March 2018, prosecutors decided not to file any charges against Venit. The city attorney's office claimed that the statute of limitations for them to prosecute Venit had expired as the incident was in February 2016 and Crews had decided not to report the incident until November 2017.[33] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blake_Leibel Blake Leibel is a Canadian convicted murderer. He has previously been a comic book creator, graphic novelist, screenwriter, and fledgling Hollywood animated film director, residing in Los Angeles, California since 2004 https://www.gamerevolution.com/geek-culture/415077-cosplayer-momokun-canceled-by-community-for-sexual-harassment The latest figure to fall foul of the community effort to rid itself of sexual assault is the cosplayer known as Momokun, real name Mariah Mallad. Having gained her popularity in the community, it is now offering her little more than infamy, with the vocal majority calling for her removal from platforms she once profited from. https://www.acoupleofaveragejoes.com/ https://www.patreon.com/acoupleofaveragejoes
