00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: The Harvey Weinstein sex of Your scandal has mushroom. This week,

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 1: one hundred forty women in California politics published a letter

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: detailing the pervasive culture of sexual mistreatment in their line

4
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,360

Speaker 1: They say fear and shame prevented them from speaking up

6
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,959
Speaker 1: until now. Plus the men who harass them are their bosses,

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: their political contacts, and gatekeepers. Remaining quiet was crucial for

8
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: their careers. The Los Angeles Times asked California Assembly Speaker

10
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: in journalism, and academia, in entertainment. Way too many places,

11
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: he said, and it has to stop. Journalism, academia, entertainment.

12
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: California politics looks like they have something in common. They're

13
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: all run by liberals. Meanwhile, another ironic twist to the

14
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: Harvey saga comes from a close friend of Bill and

15
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,640

00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: host political fundraisers. Her warning, she said, fell on deaf ears.

Speaker 1: Yet she gives Bill Clinton a pass, though he taxed

21
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,800
