during the emerging moments of the clinton lewinsky sex and lies scandal tt broke in 1998. his lies und oath about his dalliance with monica lewinsky led to his impeachment in 1998. and he later tried to characterize monica lewinsky as a stalker, as someone who came on to him. so i it's safe to say that the nineties were defined by more than bill clinton and his presidency. was it maybe the seinfeld decade? was it the seinfeld decade? is that the geist of the nineties? this was a popular sitcom starring the comedian jerry seinfeld. it aired on nbc for much of the decade and it has been criticized sometimes as being as having been a show about nothing. but some critics, some savvy critics have insisted otherwise that it was a show about everything that was a show about everything that seinfeld gave the american landscape scape a satire. beth, every week skewering and poking at and taking on a range of social norms, conventions of absurdities of life. it was not a show about nothing. these critics say it was a show about everything. everything ithemerican 1990s. and it led to

he was acquitted, as i say, but the former intern, monica lewinsky, was shamed and shunned . only inrecent years has emerged from the shadows. the case had the effect of deepening partisan divides, partisan bitterness in the country. those divides, those cleavages, have become only more pronounced in the years since the 1990s. so, this partisan re-create, in some respects, can be traced to the clinton spectacle of impeachment, trial, of a sitting u.s. president. there are more spectacles of the '90s too. cases of terrorism, including the oklahoma city bombing in april of 1995. that was an, essentially, a lone wolf terrorist attack that killed 160 people, most of them in the target building, federal office building, in oklahoma city. among the victims -- fatal victims -- 19 children, 15 of whom were in the federal building at a daycare center. this remains, to this day, the deadliest act of domestic terrorism in u.s. history. the was preceded by exactly 2 years by the fiery assaults undertaken by federal agents under the compound of the deputy insect near waco, texas. the bran

colorful character, to say the least but one of the one of the most interesting figures 19th century lewinski are we currently in the third wave of libertarianism. what is it we are what it is is something that in some ways remains yet to be determined. so what really held libertarians together for most of the 20th century? what held libertarians and conservatives together? a somewhat uneasy alliance for the 20th century was socialism, but by the end of the 20th century, socialism essentially collapsed, both politically, intellectually, politically, the berlin wall falling 89, and with it so too did the threat of international socialism as a military expansionist force. and intellectually, there simply aren't that many people around anymore who believe in socialism in the sense full state control of the economy, the people who themselves socialists nowadays mostly believe in a market economy. all right. they believe we all have a capitalistic name with private ownership of the means of production they just think that there should be a lot of regulation, that there should be a dose of redistri

think that there is a bubble where people are tired of looking at like rich, white, like monica lewinsky, lot more than 20 years later. oh, gosh, i got that right. yeah, it is not real. elizabeth wants to know if there's a bubble about looking at white women. has the bubble burst yet? sarah? will it ever? i mean, unfortunately i think there will always be an audience that because the rich, you know then says hetero mom still you it's what consumers think or it's what marketers think is the prototypical mother. it's what media is the prototypical mother. so i think will always be an audience for that fantasy. that being said, i do think there is so much fatigue with like the pretty white mom and her pretty white house, particularly post-pandemic i think, you know it doesn't feel like escapist fun in a way that maybe it did pre-pandemic so yeah, for sure. i think there's fatigue and there's just so many great accounts you can follow that don't make you feel as you're failing. so yeah i do think maybe the bubble burst a little as a follow up to that. like there is a whole there's a comedy g

yes, he is great, he is like monica lewinsky. i appreciated the military joke.ch more interesting to communicate with us than with zelensky, that is, baker there is some kind of nato expansion, why, it’s better, i’ll laugh at the jokes about zelensky, but this is another illustration of that , that western politicians really don’t care what they say, he doesn’t know what the glory of vavan and lexus is, now he already knows. glory to russia, he is violet, well, on this positive note i i suggest we move on to quality music, thank you for watching us, we 'll see you soon. you drove through snowstorms, you saw the west and the east, the rains of foreign countries, rivers, cities, asphalt, roads, overcoming everything, you fell, but got up again, with a huge open... heart, you always heard the words, you always remembered the words, you always believed in words, the sky will strike its wings high, and your love, you will be strong , where the fire burns, there is strength, where your love is, there is strength, the sun shines in blue eyes, strong almah, sol and wind

he put out a really good paper was the change in standards for the monica lewinsky and the kind of stuff put in the paper. and he was sort of navigating that has a very difficult time in his interesting figure thatgu way. >> a yes. he spoke with all of the executive editors you cover in the book with the exception i think it is 2006. quickset is correct i spoke to all of them. rosenthal also was helped by the fact he did extensive oral history. he had more files both his personal archives in the paper archives to draw on. it was very emotive is that a fair word toto use? there is a lot of stuff he was the one person i did not talk too. i spent hours billed executive writers. they were incredibly generous they've come back again and again and let me talk. >> you mentioned they wereon generous you also mentioned the source you spoke with on the whole were attended. how do those conversations went particulate with executive editors? i don't just say you are passing judgment as a critic necessarily but obviously it does offer strength and weaknesses of their leadership. you also in some case

report about an error that president clinton had been making for long amount of time with monica lewinskyand what could have been an -- and that became a very different use of presidential attention and presidential energy. so the key moments like that throughout history of this debate, this problem. in 1979, what we were talking about earlier, national academy of sciences was asked give us your second opinion, will this happen and it was -- they only needed five days. they were like the jury that brings back a quick verdict and they said, this will be comforting to scientists but it also be disturbing to policymakers if carbon dioxide released continues this panel finds no reason to believe that climate changes will not occur and no reason to believe those changes will be negligible. when scientists went to brief lawmakers about this and this is how the city works and i think it's also a weakness in a way that we have as people as a lawmakers asked some of the scientists when are these things going to occur and these scientists in 19179 said, you know, give or take 40 years and the polic

as harvard political scientist daniel ziegler and steve lewinsky explain and that tyranny of the minority, they explained on the show a couple weeks ago, minority rule has become the norm within american politics, especially on capitol hill. every point of the legislative process. minorities are able to block, impede, and obstruct. the whole reason we almost shut down the government this weekend is because, as the washington post noted, the hard right holdout and speaker mccarthy's gerrymandered conference represents 100 percent of the oppositions deal. just 2% of the population. just 2%. they almost brought the government of the richest country and in the history of the world to a shuddering halt. they could do so again just a few weeks from now. the political status quo as we saw this weekend is a joke. our country, i'm sorry to, say has become a laughing stock in the eyes of much of the rest of the world. during the january 2018 shut down, this is what china's jubilance state news agency wrote according to reuters. the western democratic system is held by the developed world as near pe

actually even politically in the age of bill clinton and monica lewinsky we noticed an uptick in certaineally encourage people to expand their definition of what sex is, and not to just assume it's one kind because there's a lot of different stuff going on and people are making different choices. the issue is that kids are actually not having sex earlier, even though puberty is starting earlier. puberty and sexual activity are not one and the same and so even though puberty is starting earlier, sexual activity is being delayed and they're up to other things activity is being delayed. they're up to other things. >> these kids, unlike when we were growing up, they're exposed to porn and they have access to things we never had access to or barely had access to. now they have it 24/7. >> that's right. common sense media came out with a study earlier this year that codified what we've known for a long time, which is that the average age of first porn viewing for a kid in this country is 12, and 15% of 10-year-olds are seeing pornography. these are huge numbers. to put it into context, before
