Back in the fall of
2016, Distinguished Professor of History at American University Allan J. Lichtman, who has correctly
forecasted thirty years of presidential outcomes, made headlines when he
predicted that Donald Trump would defeat Hillary Clinton and win the
presidential election. Now, in his new
book The Case for Impeachment he lays out in clear, nonpartisan
terms, the reasons Congress could remove Trump from the Oval Office. From the Presidents ties to Russia and his
financial conflicts of interest, to his abuse of executive authority, Allan J.
Lichtman joins me on the show today to talk about the book and the case for
impeaching the 45th president of the United States.
Since we last spoke
with John Nichols of The Nation a lot has happened,
Republicans are trying to revive their terrible healthcare bill and we learned
that the President of the United States has a very flimsy understanding of the
our country’s history. 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.
Dorian’s Closet is a new musical based on the life of the
legendary female impersonator Dorian Corey. The story is a fictionalized
account of Dorian’s life and what leads to the discovery of a mummified body in
her Harlem apartment after her death in the early 1990s. Confronted with
ridicule and prejudice, Dorian persisted in her life-long quest for love and
fame. From Dorian’s early days in New York City, through her rise to height of
the Harlem ball scene and Mother of the House of Corey, “Dorian’s Closet” takes
us on a musical journey that explores just how far we will go to make our
dreams a reality. Joining me today to
talk all about the play and the life and times of Dorian Corey is Richard Mailman who wrote the play.
"Dorian's Closet" is scheduled to
run through May 14th at the Horowitz Center, at Howard Community College, for
