This podcast episode covers multiple topics, including the testimonies in Donald Trump's trial, the rise of militias in the Middle East, and the changing portrayal of sexual content in films. The testimonies in the trial, particularly Michael Cohen's, could determine whether Trump is guilty of a campaign finance violation. In the Middle East, the weakness of states and perception of illegitimacy contribute to the popularity of militias. These militias either aim to become the state or co-opt the state. Lastly, the conversation explores the role of intimacy coordinators in ensuring the safety of sex scenes and the decline of explicit sexual content in films.
