Last Wednesday, 21st
Century Fox announced that Bill O'Reilly will not be returning to Fox News,
according to a statement from the network's parent company issued after the New York Times reported that
O'Reilly and Fox had paid out more than $13 million to silence his victims and
more than 60 advertisers pulled out of the show. Joining me today to talk all about the
downfall of Bill O’Reilly and the victory it represents for women is Attorney,
author, and legal analyst Lisa Bloom
who along with her firm The Bloom Firm represented three of O’Reilly’s
accusers.
Since we last spoke
with John Nichols of The Nation a lot has happened, from the
President escalating tensions with North Korea to his administrations attempts
to show that he achieved something other than Justice Gorsuch’s confirmation in
his first 100 days. John returns to the
show today to talk all about these issues and whole lot more, John is The Nation’s national-affairs
correspondent, a contributing writer for The
Progressive and In These Times
and the associate editor of The Capital
Times, the daily newspaper in Madison, Wisconsin.
In the wake of Barack
Obama’s historic victory in the Presidential Election, some commentators began
to argue that the United States was now a ‘post-racial’ society where racial
inequality was a thing of the past; but one only has to look at the headlines
from the past eight years to know that this couldn’t be farther from the
truth. In her new book At Mama’s Knee: Mothers and Race in Black
and White April Ryan, the White House Correspondent & Washington Bureau
Chief for American Urban Radio Networks looks this issue through the lessons
that mothers teach their children and examines what it means for mothers of
color to work hard, protect children against a racist world, and find balance
among competing responsibilities. April
joins me on the show today to talk all about the book and the ways in which
mothers transfer to their children wisdom on race and race relations.

If you've been

his hosting duties at SiriusXM, he has a new project, "Hey Xorje",
which is a new web series featuring social commentary and one on one interviews
with news makers, trend setters, and so much more.
Another Friday, another week of politics in the
books. As we head into the weekend, we
recap everything that happened, from the special election in Georgia to Trump
whining about the “ridiculous standard” of the first 100 days. Joining me today to help us wrap up the week
in politics is Eleanor Clift the
Washington correspondent for The Daily Beast,
where she covers the White House and writes about politics and culture.
