you also talk about roger ailes. and you yourself have had an interesting and polarizing career. what do the three of you have in common. >> you know, we come from the mad men era, the kind of 1950s when it was different, where locker room banter was a real thing and obnoxious thing were said, there was no such thing as jend equality, political correctness had no place. it was the sharp elbows in the ribs. i should be a lot madder at president trump because of his positions on policies that i disagree with. kennedy: but you understand him as a person. >> but i understand him as a person. my wife ir ka cannot stand him because she cannot stand his policies. i can separate the policies from the person i've known over 40 years. kennedy: of the three of you, donald trump, rogers ails, geraldo rivera, who is going to end up the biggest legend? >> i would suggest the 45th president probably will. i have a big ego but i'm not silly about it. kennedy: all right. well it's a great read. incredible stories in there. and very, very candid particularly about your own career. thank you for co

she takes the job that belonged to roger ails. rupert murdoch and his son praised her vision.you may have known tom wolf who died this week as a novelist or dapper dresser in those white suits. but he had a huge impact on the news business. >> as a writer i'm perfectly delighted to have things remain way they are. the human comedy has never been richer. howie: he helped create what is dubbed the new journalism, marrying reporting to journalism. wolf who dubbed the 1970s the "me" decade. wolfe joined the right stuff on his book. and in his brilliant novel "bonfire of the vanities." it was a fictional look at the rich and poor divide in the bronx. he was a dazzling writer. every essay and book ultimately was all about him. tom wolfe was 88. i'm howard kurtz. cop at me on twitter. check out our facebook page. post a lot of our original content. engage in dialogue, our daily videos. and dvr the show. back here next sunday we'll see you then 11:00 eastern with the latest heather: it is monday may 21st and this is "fox & friends first". happening at 4:00 a.m., did obama administrati

series of stories on sexual harassment at fox led to the departure of fox news founding leader roger ailes and star host bill o'reilly and over has announced that they will end their much criticized policy of requiring writers and drivers alleging sexual harassment or discrimination to resolve all claims through binding arbitration many observers say over was smart to make the change sooner rather than later and reap some public relations benefits. and updating a story brought you last week the see. the city council is yielded to pressure from amazon and scaled back on a proposed head tax on large employers five of nine city council members support of the original proposal that would have raised an estimated eighty six million dollars to be used to build affordable housing and provide services for the homeless but that left supporters one vote short of the sixty needed to overrule mayor jenny durkan who said that she would use her veto to block the so called ana's on tax the scaled back tax will only raise about forty seven million dollars per year and will expire in two thousand and twent

it'll think with mark levin and ailes and o'reilly were talking before roger ailes passed away and frankly fox news was vulnerable they've been moving sean around the last you know who the n b c gretta left so there's been a bunch of moving parts over there and their shares have suffered so maybe they think there's a media play with fox vulnerable but there's no shortage of shortage of right wing media out there so it's not like they're filling a void well on you to follow on what hollande said so. whether or not they are going to be good or bad for them it just seems to be that all of this coverage of what we're doing right now and what's been going on this week can't possibly have helped and chris ruddy not only president trump's friend but a member at mar a lago the president's club were supposedly he met with the tories to negotiate this deal he says there's no truth to this now but is this whole debacle just that a debacle and maybe they wish they hadn't and gauged in it this story at politico was based on information brought by two sources who apparently had a close early information

right away you get into this, roger ailes, our chairman. you mentioned him in your book. er's fall reminds you how fragile life is. not just physical existence but our integrity and reputation. and many put down president pence because when he doesn't go out to eat. you said he does put walls around his integrity to guard himself against the appearance of evil. if we change ourselves, it continues today. >> for the better. i'm raising a daughter. i want us to change and evolve from where we were. did it break any heart when roger passed away? yes. i feel like that sin eroded and corrupted his life and changed his life and took his life. >> you never experienced that. >> i never experienced that. my story is different from these women. i was shocked when i heard this. our world was turned upside-down here at fox. he did put food on my table. he hired me. he allowed my dreams to come true. then i hear stories that involve my friends here at fax. i was appalled. it was wrong. but you know, i did feel sorry for his family and it ultimately killed him. >> neil: and you moved on

discrimination lawsuits, including one in which a former reporter for fox 5 accused former fox news chair roger ailes of sexual harassment and of turning her down for a job because he didn't think she would have sex with him. uber and lyft have announced they will no longer require people who are sexually harassed or assaulted or raped by drivers into forced arbitration, meaning passengers, drivers, and employees of uber and lyft can now pursue public lawsuits over sexual harassment or sexual assault in court. this policy also means they won't have to -- dozens of drivers have been accused of sexually harassing or and raping passengers. former texas republican congressmember blake farenthold says he will not pay taxpayers back after he used $84,000 of public money to settle a 2014 sexual harassment lawsuit with his former communications director lauren greene. greene says farenthold blackballed her from politics when she accused him of sexual harassment, gender discrimination, and creating a hostile work environment. teachers in north carolina are walking out of class today and marching on the state

the republican -- roger ailes and others were quite brilliant at turning cbs news into the voice of the left-wing establishment. they raised a lot of money on direct mail off, you know, don't believe it if dan rather tells it to you. so i think the crisis in media trust is of a piece with the crisis that we talked about a lack of faith in the government itself. the only institution that does pretty well is the military. and i suspect that's more sentimental and guilt-driven because so few of us serve, so few of us have connections to those who serve, so we can make ourselves feel better on a survey by saying, yeah, we trust them, they're heroes. but congress is below the margin of error. the media's close. at one point late in the bush administration i think dick cheney had an approval rating that proved more people disapproved of him than actually lived in america. [laughter] and he loved it, by the way. [laughter] that's right. [laughter] >> here's an interesting one for a southern boy. >> yep. >> what is your opinion about removal of historical statues which are offensive to some, sa

i was not harassed by roger ailes and you were, both things were true. they both happened.is case both things can be true at nbc news that tom brokaw could have treated some women decently and he also assaulted me. >> nothing is universal and you wanted tobring thatout to people. one of the points of criticism that i've heard about you coming forward is it was a long time ago, it was the mid-90s. so is it possible that he made an overture to you, he hit on you, you rebuffed him and after that he mended his ways, there were no more recent accusations against tom brokaw? >> i think that doesn't really square with the truth. there is a second woman who is investigated by "the washington post" -- >> from the same era, mid-90s. >> yeah. does it matter when the harasser assaulted someone? it's always true and it's always relevant and the fact that that person is still on nbc news and has been put out by nbc news to speak on its platforms about the me too movement and about what should be done about sexual harassment that makes it relevant today. so let's have the conversation ab

roger ailes try to turn rush limbaugh into a tv show. as somebody myself with a face made for radio, i understand that did not work. that only worked so-so. but instead of going smaller he went bigger. no you have the openings online that are in many ways to the right of fox news. this created a media environment .hat facilitated trumps rise we kentucky about this all afternoon, but i think you're right to point to -- we can talk about this all afternoon, but i think you are right to point to that. >> we're almost out of time. you to speak, the gentleman behind her, then that gentleman on the road backed there. let's get three questions up at once. then pin list will decide which to respond to. i'm janice. i was illegally jailed and tortured in the city of alexandria. i was held in solitary confinement for 14 days. i was centered for 30 days for a legal fees that were illegally gotten. i am the ex-wife of the son of a judge. i was held in solitary confinement. justice, we pay a high price for. not so in germany. documentsy took out one a

bill: roger ailes discovered there was an audience who wanted the news right point of view.ppened, they want to know what does bill o'reilly think about what happened. that audience is there and has always been there. we are hoping that there is an audience who wants trade objective explanations and analysis. it is not a huge audience. tom: you are george mason, everything is at the right of everybody. how do you distinguish between progressives and liberals? politerogressive is a term for liberal. liberal is not popular in the united states. generally speaking, the present therogressive movement was idea behind it was reform. what is happening is, people on the left who have been on the defensive since the 1960's theuse of backlash of what liberals were doing in those days, they have adopted the term progressive, which is broadly acceptable. tom: thank you so much. the book standoff, how america became ungovernable. it is a history lesson on where we have been and where we are right now. georgeliam schneider, mason and also at cnn. we will continue with carl weinberg. lots
