lawyers threatened to sue wendy walsh for defamation of character. and that's when you stepped in and helped deliver a message to fox news. i put out this tweeting "hey, bill o'reilly, please sue me too because i believe wendy walsh." and i asked you to retweet so it fox news would see you response. and 53,000 of you retweeted that to fox news. 53,000. and just by comparison to the tweeter in chief, donald trump's biggest tweet today got 12,900 retweets. fox news got your message. in that tweet and in many, many others and protesters outside of the building, fox news got the message. 18 days. lisa bloom wasn't finished after she helped wendy walsh tell her story. lisa bloom kept cop asking at bill o'reilly with more women's stories. yesterday lisa bloom revealed the story of a black woman at fox news who says she was sexually harsd by bill o'reilly. and fox news decided they just couldn't take another day, after what lisa bloom did to fox news last night, i asked, how many more bad news days will fox endure? and i speculated that o'reilly would be ou

he is now threatening wendy walsh.s one of the women who was not sued donald trump, therefore she was able to speak. the others are bound by their settlements not to say anything o'reilly. although i'm not sure what the difference is. o'reilly and his lawyers trying to threaten wendy walsh, scare her into staying quiet. >> that is true. what i find striking is while o'reilly is making noises the network is not necessarily standing lock step behind him. we've sort of luke warm dchss of o'reilly. rupert murdoch and the parent company, 21st century fox hasn't rallied behind him. i think you see -- i'm writing a piece about this now where you see the network hemming and they want to see where this is going. >> when a guy is making $18 million a year every day that you don't fire him is rallying behind him. that's what his bank account thigs. gabe sherman thank you for joining us. >>> coming up, dr. mart mart jr. will get tonight's last word. i mean wish i had time to take care of my portfolio, but.. well, what are you doin

wendy walsh. o'reilly has denied all the claims against him.n sunday, the "wall street journal" reported fox news recently renewed o'reilly's contract. according to nielsen, "the o'reilly factor" is fox news' most watched program and just finished its highest-rated first quarter in its history, averaging 4 million viewers. amy: well, for more, we're joined by lisa bloom, civil rights attorney at the bloom firm. she represents dr. wendy walsh, one of the women who has publicly accused bill o'reilly of unwanted sexual advances. lisa bloom, welcome to democracy now! can you start off by responding to what donald trump told "the new york times" as he sat in the president ofs united states, he said about bill o'reilly, "i don't think bill did anything wrong. i think is a person. he is a good person. i don't think bill did anything wrong"? >> i think is emphasize the important part of that statement. i don't think he did anything wrong. donald trump did not say, "i don't think he did it." he does not think the sexual harassment is wrong. i think that

we're back with lisa bloom, perquita burgess and wendy walsh. anita hill's words, the key is for people to keep coming forward, that was your key. that was your strategic key from the start. once this "new york times" article came out with wendy, you were hoping for perquita to read it and others to read it and come forward. >> well, wendy knows that we had a media strategy and legal strategy from the beginning. we had to keep this in the news. we could not let it be a one-day story. we had to bring fox news to its knees. we had to do a press conference and keep coming on shows like yours, and thank you for your wonderful coverage. i keep talking about it because i needed to find perquita. i needed to find caroline. i knew that one woman might not be enough. we had to keep the pressure on. wendy and i come out publicly. we call into the hotline. in fact, all of these three fantastic women called into the hotline which made fox news do an investigation and while those investigations were ongoing, i got another one and another one and flew to north

wendy walsh said. ultimately, these cases like all of the sexual harassment cases i have been doing for 30 years, are about women's equality in the workplace, our right to be treated with respect, and to have our careers. most of us can withstand a comment we don't like, but when our jobs are threatened because we don't sleep with the boss? that is a whole other level. that is been going on, according to multiple women, with bill o'reilly and others at fox news, for a very long time. i was very angry about that. i was motivated. i knew the first accuser in 2004 and how bill o'reilly treated her, bringing his lawyers out to sue her, publicly trashing her do their media outlets. enough was enough. i am glad i could be part of it. nermeen: i want to read bill o'reilly statement yesterday. he wrote -- "it is tremendously disheartening that we part ways due to completely unfounded claims, but that is the unfortunate reality many of us in the public eye must live with today. i will always look back on my tim

wendy walsh broke this case, the o'reilly story wide open.hat's because your client was one of the people who could speak to the "new york times" when they did their massive story on this two weeks ago because she was not bound by a legal agreement not to speak about bill o'reilly. i would like your reaction to the sudden announce member that bill o'reilly is going on vacation. >> it is a coincidence, lawrence, because tomorrow i'm going on vacation as well. but the difference i i for sure am coming back to work on monday. and bill o'reilly should not be coming back to work on monday, because he has sexually harassed so many women. wendy walsh has been so brave the come out like anybody else she was scared. i told her i would be at her side if she chose to do this. she has done it. hasn't asked for a dime, simply told her story over and over again. we have taken a new step just about every day as this story progressed. today i sent a letter to the state division of human rights in new york with all the information that's publicly available. t

that was wendy walsh and her attorney lisa bloom.s has announced that it is officially investigating sexual harassment complaints against bill o'reilly. the company is using the same law firm that conducted investigations on multiple sexual harassment claims against roger ailes, including gretchen carlson's claim that led to a $20 million settlement for what gretchen carlson had to endure with roger ailes at fox news. as a result of that investigation, roger ailes was fired from fox news. 80 companies now, 80, have dropped their advertising from bill o'reilly's show. once again tonight, bill o'reilly had nothing to say about the sexual harassment allegations on his show. fox news has not made public the findings of its investigations of roger ailes and has made no promises to make public its investigation of bill o'reilly. when wendy walsh told her story of being sexually harassed by bill o'reilly to "the new york times," o'reilly's lawyer then threatened to sue wendy walsh. i then immediately tweeted, "hey, bill o'reilly, please sue

if wendy walsh's statement is i want a better world for my children.sident said, that's my daguy, he didn't do it. >> he said he did nothing wrong. >> month. excuse me. you have to follow the money here. if the advertising goes pay way, the ratings are meaningless. if they don't make money, they'll have to do something about bill o'reilly. >> where one of those rare moments with money and morality might actually align. thanks so much. >>> next, a blast from the past. >> you know what's allowing? when that little plastic thing on the end of your shoe laces falls off and gets frayed at the end. >> you know what's not annoying? my exclusive interview with former snl alum joe piscopo. what a day i had with this guy. they offer free cancellation, in case i decide to go from kid-friendly to kid-free. now i can start relaxing even before the vacation begins. your vacation is very important. that's why booking.com makes finding the right hotel for the right price easy. visit booking.com now to find out why we're booking.yeah before fibromyalgia, i was a doer.

and say, look, i believe wendy walsh. sue me, too, because i believe her and i'm going to say it on television which i've said many times. >> yeah. >> okay. i believe that bill o'reilly sexually harassed wendy walsh. i believe wibill o'reilly is a sexual harasser. now, according to o'reilly's thug lawyer,sueable right now. go ahead. come and sue me, bill o'reilly, i dare you. >> i spr a feeling -- >> there's a thousand reasons why he won't, including he's actually guilty of these things. that's the biggest reason. the other reason is he wouldn't dare put himself in a situation where i get to put him under oath in a deposition asking him questions about wendy walsh. >> yeah. the discovery would be brutal. you know, i think one of the reasons that a lot of people are having schadenfreude about bill o'reilly's current situation, part of what he does on the show, moralizing, quite frankly moralizing at people of color, women, talking down to people that he's this moral arbiter. i'm old enough to remember back in 2002 when he

lisa bloom, wendy walsh. wendy walsh gets tonight's last word. the 11th hour with bryan williams is next. >>> tonight was it accidental? president trump today hinting at military action in syria. shake-up at the white house. steve bannon loses a key seat at the table. as he no show at the rose garden. and our white house correspondents weigh in on how the president started his day. a new attack on susan rice a strong defense of bill o'reilly. "11th hour" begins right now. good evening once again from our headquarters in new york. the president today invited two "new york times" journalists into the oval office. he then accused susan rice of committing a crime and defended his friend, bill o'reilly. and that was before his joint appearance with king abdullah of jordan where he said he changed his mind about syria and his leader. not long ago he said things like "we should stay the hell out of syria." and "syria is not our problem." while blaming the situation on his predecessor squarely, he acknowledged the humanitarian crisis at hand and did not

[heartbeat] >>> joining us now again wendy walsh. wendy used to appear on fox news. she refused to go to a hotel room with bill o'reilly. that account came out in "the new york times." wendy joins us by phone. wendy, i want to get your reaction by the breaking news just in that fox and bill o'reilly have agreed to a settlement worth tens of millions of dollars. your reaction? >> i have said it over and over. i don't have a dog in this race. this was really adding my piece to the story for the five other women who were forced to sign confidentiality agreements and could not talk. they have to do from a business standpoint what their contract says and if they're breaking his contract early, they will have to pay him off. that doesn't take away from the fact that every other corporation, large, mid-size or mom and pop business is watching this closely as we are literally changing workplace cultures in america. >> you know, i know you said this was never personal for you. you were speaking for the women you couldn't. but bill o'reilly is receiving more on the way out the

wendy walsh, they can do that, too.best for them. >> michael, do you know whether the president has a relationship with bill o'reilly? are they friendly? from his comments in the oval office to "the new york times," it sure sounds like it. >> we know that mr. trump appeared on mr. o'reilly's show a lot during the campaign and that they've known each other for some time. they're both from new york. they're both yankees fans. they both have mutual friends in common. i think mr. o'reilly prided himself on giving mr. trump a hard time in some of the interviews that they did during the campaign. but certainly mr. trump kept on going on his show and i think mr. trump really saw his show as a way of speaking directly to his base. that's something there. mr. o'reilly attracts a huge, huge, huge rating, and that is something that fox is very protective of. he really built up the rating at 8:00 and feeds into rest of the night with tucker carlson and sean hannity. the question for fox, could those ratings be as high if mr. o'reil

wendy walsh. >> in los angeles, dr.sh. >> former o'reilly factor contributor coming forward saying he was harassed by the fox news star. >> he got hostile very quickly. he told me flat out, forget any career advice i gave you. >> reporter: the times report saying in 2002 fox became aware of o'reilly's alleged inappropriate behavior. reportedly settling with a producer who claimed he berated her in the newsroom but did not sexually harass her. in 2004, o'reilly reportedly paid a pre deu$9 million withou admitting wrongdoing. in 2011, fox business network host rebecca gomez diamond left the network after allegedly being paid in secret by o'reilly. recently in 2016, fox's parent company stettling with two koe s correspondents. on his website, o'reilly saying i'm vulnerable to lawsuits from individuals who want me to pay them to avoid negative publicity. going on to say i have put to rest any controversies to spare my children. >> 21st century fox releasing a state saying we have looked into the matters over the last few mo

. >>> first, wendy walsh and brian stelter and an attorney for a former plaintiff against o'reilly. brian, let's start with the news here. you've been keeping a close eye on this story. >> the murdochs who own fox two weeks ago commissioned an investigation from a law firm and wendy walsh made a phone call to fox reporting what she says was harassment by o'reilly. as a result of her phone call, an investigation took place. we don't know exactly what the murdochs found but it was enough to push o'reilly out. he won't say good-bye. he won't be back. his show is no longer called "the o'reilly factor." he's been canceled. i've never seen anything like this in cable news. he was the biggest star and now he's out of a job. we'll see if he goes elsewhere but he's not coming back on fox. >> we'll talk about that more. not only the biggest star for two decades but very influential when it comes to politics and especially the republican party and the president. i understand fox is getting new text sexual harassment complaints by employees even today? >> yes. fox news contributor who has spoke

wendy walsh is very scared. she has me at her side and that's what you need.e to go through this alone. >> in o'reilly's statement this weekend, on his website, bill o'reilly.com, he said the worst part of my job is being a target for those who would harm me and my employer, the fox news channel. i asked his spokesman to come on the channel and he declined. i asked them to provide someone else and he declined. the statement says o'reilly feels he is a vulnerable target. what's your response? >> oh, boo hoo hoo, so hard to be bill o'reilly and have woman after woman come forward. some of them with recordings of what he said what he was doing in the shower which i probably can't say on your show, right? it's not like people are accusing him of i slipped and fell on your property and i'm suing you. it's always sexual harassment. and you mean to tell me woman after woman for 12 or 13 years, they've all conspired together, women who don't know each other to accuse him of sexual harassment? how many women have to come forward before he starts to take this seriously

she's representing wendy walsh and accuses o'reilly of sexual harassment and retaliation and they both join me now. thank you so much for coming on. >> thank you. >> so, wendy. let's be honest about this. we've known each other for years but the first i learned about this encounter was in the new york times this weekend and i was flabbergasted. tell me what happened. >> in a nutshell i was asked to be on his show as a regular guest and three weeks into it i got an exciting e-mail from his secretary saying that mr. o'reilly is coming to los angeles and he'd love to have dinner with you and i said absolutely. because i wanted to talk to him about my career prospects. often being brought on as a guest is an audition process and i wanted to be a paid contributor. he brought it up, says roger ail is a good friend of his and they plan on making me a contributor. the dinner went on to include small talk about life, love, etc. and at the end of the dinner, he simply said let's get out of here and he walked to the right towards the hotel rooms and i walked to the left towards the bar and there

wendy walsh made a phone call to fox reporting what she says was harassme harassment. an investigation took place as a result of her phone call. we don't know what the murdocks found. he's been cancelled which is an astonishing. he was the biggest star and we'll see where he will go but definitely not on fox. >> influential when it comes to politics and the republican party and this particular president. other news when it comes to this. fox is getting new sexual harassment from current employees until today? >> yes. even today fox fuse contributor who had spoken to new york times privately gone public and is speaking out about this. lisa woo represents lyndsey wal walsh, even though wylie is gone, there are other issues for fox. >> fox's exec sutive spear, the is more to come >> people asked me, why did it take so long of the background. >> they had to know. they paid out all of this money. certainly, fox executives were aware of rally reputations and some of these settlements. he was a profit engine until he turn into a liability. >> they had to know some part of it

because what he is saying -- is not true. >> don, this is not my first case against fox news, wendy walsh and this is not going to be my last. i have been flooded with calls this week and very happy to talk to women. i'm very familiar with this hot line, first of all it's called the alert line, their own policy doesn't require anyone to use it. there is no law requiring anyone to use it. who is on the other end. is it roger ailes? >> you know who is on the other end, someone who is going to report back to the company and make sure they retaliate. that is who is on the other end. >> this is a complete red herring. look, i don't care about fox news shareholders or rich a arrogant rights like bill o'reilly's, we're not just talking about comments up to and including sexual assault which has been alleged. we're talking about women's careers, women over and over again accusing people of sexual harassment, and then been driven out not only at fox news but at other organizations. we had in-depth interviews with these women, that is why it's so important. we have to protect human rights. >> did y

wendy walsh, i understand you're back with me. i think you're on the phone now. >> yes. >> i couldn't tell if it was the connection or -- this is emotional for you. and for people who aren't as familiar with your story with bill o'reilly, can you take me back to 2013 and that dinner? >> certainly. i apologize for technical issues. >> no worries. >> the story is simple and i will say that this kind of sexual harassment, sadly, has been normalized by women of my generation. i was invited to be a guest on his show a number of times. his secretary at fox news or add minu add administrative assistant invited me. he offered me a job as a contributor. by the end of the dinner, as we left the restaurant, i turned toward the bar and he said let's go back to my suite and i said no, i'm sorry, we can't do that. we're both parents raising teenage girls. we should model good choices here. he became -- we went to the bar briefly and he became angry and hostile and he said you can forget all of the career advice i've given you. he slowly weaned

joining us is dan abrams and lisa bloom, the attorney for wendy walsh, a former "o'reilly factor" guester to secure a position after she turned down his advances and according to the report, fox is saying that walsh was removed because of bad ratings. what does she say happen? >> well, that's ridiculous. she was only a guest on a segment with other guests with mr. o'reilly with topic chosen by their producers. you mean to tell me that the few seconds that she was on, the ratings went down. everybody turned off their tvs? she's been on hundreds of cable news shows since. everybody asks her back. she's fabulous on tv but this is typical fox news behavior. going after anyone who dares to speak out about sexual harassment even wendy walsh who has not asked for a dime, who is not suing but simply speaking out about her story. >> fox says she never told anyone at the company about what happened. why didn't she? >> because she was scared. because she didn't want to be in the middle of the financial -- the difficult situation that she's in now with everybody attacking her online. but she was co

areva, wendy walsh played a key role in this ouster saying today we have entered a new era in work place politics. have we? >> i don't think so. i'm really concerned about what's going on at fox. we still have this lawsuit from july he radsinski against people saying they new of the harassment of her and took no action. in fact, she claims they retaliated against her. so when we think about the culture here, we have to ask is getting rid of bill o'reilly and roger ails enough to change the culture at fox if the harassment was as widespread as we are learning from all of these allegation. it's going to take more than two terminations to change that culture. look, it's very difficult to change any corporate culture and one as entrenched as this one at fox, it's going to take a lot more than these terminations. >> you know, one thing that is expected to change, the ratings. you look at o'reilly, "the o'reilly factor," that was a ratings monster. it will be hard to match that. how does fox recover from that? they are putting their trust in tucker karlsson, their bench is not that deep. how d

wendy walsh is not asking for money. she wants to make sure people know about his behavior. >> here's a statement so we report this accurately. just like other prominent people, i am vulnerable to lawsuits from individuals who want me to pay them to avoid publicity. in my 20 years at fox news, no one has ever filed a complaint about me with the human resources department. not even on the anonymous hot line. the worst part of my job is being a target for those who would harm me and my employer, the fox news channel. he says no one ever, ever filed a complaint with h.r., but we know the story with roger ails and what happened then. so i imagine people wouldn't feel comfortable. >> it was an environment where it wouldn't necessarily pick up the phone and try to report something because the boss was allegedly doing it. roger ran that network with an iron fist. he's been accused by many women. >> that failure to report has significance. under the law, employees are required to report. the employer's duty is to set up a a syst

her lawyer, lisa bloom, says wendy walsh has officially filed a complaint with the company through thethe company recommends. they've heard from the company, 21st century fox, saying they will investigate walsh's claims. this is a sign this is not going away right away for o'reilly. >> would this be the first actual investigation of bill o'reilly? >> unclear. the company has said it spoke with o'reilly about the other settlements, the other issues. but according to the company, no one's ever called the hotline to address an issue with o'reilly. >> let's talk about the skit now. there hadn't been any new episodes of "snl" for almost a month. lot of anticipation for this one. how are viewers reacting to that impersonation by baldwin? >> baldwin is a reluctant player of trump. he keeps saying it takes a toll on him and he doesn't want to do it forever. this is a split screen. i guess they taped one of the versions and had the other version live. it was certainly making the point president trump has been supportive of president o'reilly. saying he doesn't think o'reilly did anything wrong.

that's why wendy walsh could speak.l denies and oc'reill denies settled after they said they were cleaning house. this is what they should do. 21st century fox should enforce the law. it's against the law and should enforce a change in the culture because it is true. i have talked to women who worked at fox who have said just what you-all have said, gee, does it taint us that we look as if we shouldn't be working there? i don't think that's really the point. the point is 21st century fox should do what they said they were going to do nine months ago and change the culture and if o'reilly's audience views this as a liberal thing, that is is regrettable but not the point. this is against the law. this is corporations supposedly needing to enforce a work place that is not sexually harassing women and the perception of that is really damaging. it may not damage their bottom line unless there is a boycott, but that's not really the point here. the point is what kind of culture do they have and how are they going to fix it? >

wendy walsh. her testimony comes after "the new york times" revealed saturday that fox news and o'reilly have paid out $13 million to five other women who have accused o'reilly of sexual harassment. on sunday, "the wall street journal" reported fox news renewed o'reilly's contract. in response to the revelations, mercedes-benz and hyundai both announced they were pulling current or upcoming ads from the "the o'reilly factor." the jewish american newspaper the forward has reported that trump's chief counter-terrorism adviser sebastian gorka publicly supported an anti-semitic and racist paramilitary militia in while he served as a hungarian 2007 politician. the militia, known as the hungarian guard, was later banned after the european court of human rights accused it of racism. the forward report draws on a 2007 tv interview in which gorka expresses his support for the guards. a previous investigation by the forward revealed gorka took a lifelong oath of loyalty to a hungarian far-right, nazi-allied

one of them is wendy walsh, formerly a regular guest on o'reilly's show who has spoken publicly aboutgations of sexual harassment. the other woman came forward today. here lawyer, lisa bloom, tweeting her client just phoned in a complaint of sexual and racial harassment against bill o'reilly to the fox news hot line. o'reilly's lawyer released a statement in response to the new accusation. it is outrageous that an allegation from an anonymous person about something that purportedly happened almost a decadego is being eated as fact, especially where is their is obviously an orchestrated campaign to destroy mr. o'reilly and enrich themselves through publicity drifb donations. he then released a second statement. bill o'reilly has been subjected to a brutal campaign of character assassination that is unprecedented in post-mccarthyist america. this law firm has uncovered evidence that the smear campaign is being orchestrated by far left organizations bent on destroying o'reilly for political and financial reasons. that evidence will be put forth shortly and it is irrefutable. but the new

wendy walsh, a regular guest on the o'reilly factor, and who recently launched a formal complaint against o'reilly, is the focus of the current investigation by the law firm hired by fox news. walsh is not pursuing litigation at this time. in the past ten days, advertisers amidst all this news have been deserting the o'reilly factor at an astonishing rate. the o'reilly factor's paid national advertising has plummeted, dropping from about 15 minutes per show to about four minutes at its lowest. joining me now gabe sherman. do you believe the vacion s pre-planned? >> yes. all my reporting inside fox news indicates that bill o'reilly did plan this trip before. now, what i find striking is that management let him go. you know, when you're in the middle of a major public relations crisis, if they were backing him, they would say, listen, stay on the air. we got your back. don't make it look like this is a suspension. >> that's interesting. so letting him go on the pre-planned vacation is a little bit of an indicator. your sources say his fate is being decided inside the company right now. >> r
