I Am Black In the Trump Era
I Am Black In the Trump Era Politicon is an annual multi-day political festival that now takes place in Nashville. I conceived and moderated a panel where I wanted to get some of my smartest Black friends onstage to talk about how they feel about being Black in the Trump era. I feel under siege, I feel rejected, and I feel like the country is in an era that’s painful and frightening to me and people who like me. I feel like the MAGA hat is the new Klan hood and it scares me to see it worn so brazenly and thoughtlessly. I wondered how others were feeling about being Black in the era of Trump. We had six awesome panelists—April Ryan the White House reporter, Malcolm Nance the superspy who just published the Plot To Betray America, Elie Mystal the legal analyst, Lexi McCammond the Axios reporter, Maya Wiley the activist and legal analyst, and Briahna Joy Gray the national press secretary for Bernie Sanders. The panel was attended by hundreds. Instagram @toureshow.

Lawrence O'Donnell—I Am the Last Word
Lawrence O’Donnell is one of the best TV hosts in cable news. He’s a man of passion and intelligence who prosecutes his subjects and sometimes his guests in a way that recalls a lawyer doing a cross examination. He’s had a fascinating life—he's hosted The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell on MSNBC for almost ten years, he wrote for the legendary TV show the West Wing, he was an advisor for New York Senator Daniel Moynihan in the 90s. We get into all of that and disdain for Donald Trump in this fascinating conversation. I’ve known Lawrence for a long time so this was a treat. Let me know what you think! Instagram @toureshow.

Cyntoia Brown—I Am Free!
Cyntoia Brown got out of prison just a few months ago. She did 15 years of a life sentence in prison for murder and she admits to having shot and killed a man but she was 15 years old and she had been forced into prostitution by a much older man after years of being raped, abused, and led astray. When the world learned about her case there was an outcry—the system had failed her, everyone failed her. Her story is amazing and it’s chronicled in a heartbreaking book called Free Cyntoia. We talk through her unbelievable story and try to understand how she made it through. Let me know what you think! Instagram @toureshow.

Susan Rice—I’m A Survivor
Ambassador Susan Rice was President Obama’s National Security Advisor for four years. She was the first one from the administration to go on TV and talk about the Benghazi attacks and the Republicans made her pay for that with an unending series of attacks that cost her a chance to become Secretary of State and ended up making her 9 year old daughter have frightening hallucinations. The Republicans’ attack on Rice was political, and personal, and had nothing to do with the actual tragedy that took place in Benghazi. Rice talks about all of this and more in her new memoir Tough Love and on this show. Let me know what you think! Instagram @toureshow.
