Last night was OscarSoPoliticallyCorrect But should the movies make the statement, and not the show? Also, there's a huge #MeToo Paradox no one is addressing...but Karel does. Listen daily at reallykarel.com and support the show through Patreon.com/karel Remember to watch Karel Weekly on Free Speech TV Life In Segments.

Today's show is guest hosted by veteran progressive journalists, strategists and activists Cliff Schecter ("The Real McCain") and John Aravosis (The Economist, AMERICAblog News & LGBT).

During today's show, and twice per week via their "Unpresidented Podcast," they give you an unfiltered and humorous insider's look at the latest political news, and the action steps you need to get involved and RESIST.

Today they analyze sexism at the Oscars, whether the leaders of the Women's March are anti-Semitic, Russia (Sam Nunberg, Mitt Romney), Conor Lamb, and more.

You can find the 'Unpresidented' Podcast at www.UnPresidentedPodcast.com and the premium version at www.Patreon.com/UnPresidentedPodcast. The Twitter handle for the podcast is @UnPresidentPod. Cliff's handle is @CliffSchecter and John's is @Aravosis.

Additionally, Cliff and John are now hosting the 'Leslie Marshall Show' each Monday from 3-4pm ET during January, February, and March while Mark Levine is in session as a Virginia State Delegate.

In these crazy times, let's look to some unlikely sources for inspiration re creation and the good life. First, my 2008 conversation with MacArthur-winning biologist Stuart Kauffman on his book REINVENTING THE SACRED, offering "a new view of a fully natural God and of the sacred, based on a new, emerging scientific worldview." In the second half, my 2012 interview with Ohio Congressman Tim Ryan on his book, A MINDFUL NATION: How a Simple Practice Can Help Us Reduce Stress, Improve Performance, and Recapture the American Spirit. Ryan, a Rust Belt moderate hosts a mindfulness group for legislators of both parties.

On the next State of Belief Radio, we’ll be in New York City talking with Rabbi Irwin Kula, President of Clal. Amid a surge of anti-Semitic attacks and rhetoric, how are Jewish leaders helping calm the waters – and ensure safety for all?

Also, the Rev. Elder Pat Bumgardner. How has her ministry and activism on behalf of LGBTQ persons of faith been altered by the kinds of changes we’ve seen in our culture – and our government’s priorities?

And Rabbi Abby Jacobson, president of Interfaith Alliance of Oklahoma. We’ll get a briefing about the challenges to true religious freedom the organization is fighting against every day.

EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt uses the Bible to justify exploitation of natural resources; EPA to eliminate office that studies impacts of chemicals on children; New study finds communities of color disproportionately bear the burden of pollution; ExxonMobil withdraws from massive deal with Russia; PLUS: Good news and bad news for the environment in the courts... All that and more in today's Green News Report!

Between dishing out advice in an Uber to chasing a stray, this show has to be heard to be believed. WARNING: Some audio quality windy.
