Four outspoken, diverse progressives in media, politics and law, all from different backgrounds, talk about What's Left America. Each week, it's the place to talk about what's left and what's just not right.

What's Left America hosts Chris Tritico, Andi Georgsson, James Campbell and Chris Bell discuss:

1. The thin-skinned president can't stand criticism, so he revoked former CIA director John Brennan's security clearance. Brennan's just been so mean to Trump on Twitter.
2. It's white White House, indeed. When Kellyanne Conway was asked to name a high-ranking black staffer working in the West Wing and could come up with only the name Ja'Ron, that was funny as hell. But it's pathetic too. She was talking about Ja'Ron Smith, whose title is "legislative affairs" aide and who does not in fact office in the West Wing. Why is it that after Omarosa's firing, there are no people of color in any position of authority in the Trump administration?
3. Look who's playing the race card now. Trump's election has brought to the fore a renewed look at race and racism in America, and it ain't pretty.
4. And White House Counsel Don McGahn has been singing like a bird to special prosecutor Bob Mueller, and Trump and his legal team seem to think he's covering the president's ass. We think he's covering his own.

We end as usual with Out of Left Field, our take on whatever we found remarkable this week.

Georgsson recommends you read Your Black Friend and Other Strangers by Ben Passmore.

Campbell mourns the passing of Aretha Franklin.

Listen in for some Out of Left Field takes from Bell and Tritico too!

Hosts Chris Tritico, Andi Georgsson and Chris Bell (James Campbell is off this week) discuss Sen. Rubio's paid family leave bill, the wind at Beto O'Rourke's back, and what happens when the president of the United States makes the press the enemy of the people.

As always, we end the show with Out of Left Field

Bell remembers drinking on the frat house porch at the University of Texas.

Georgsson, meanwhile, remembers how white sororities at UT preferred to deregister as campus organizations rather accept nonwhite pledges.

Tritico realizes a prank he played on his daughters has been running for more than a decade.

Your hosts Andi Georgsson, Chris Tritico, James Campbell and Chris Bell discuss Trump family grifting from its position in the White House and California Congressman Eric Swalwell's bill, the Prevent Corrupting Foreign Influence Act that would add stricter, more specific prohibitions on cashing in on the highest office in the land. 

We also get into Sasha Baron Cohen's take-down of Georgia Republican state Rep. Jason Spencer (he resigned) in the latest of his infamous prank shows, Who Is America?. Cohen was tricked -- really just asked, but he grabbed the shovel and started digging -- into yelling the N word repeatedly, faking an "Asian" language and more, but he's not the only GOPer who readily showed his ass (although in Spencer's case, it was literally). Former Vice President Dick Cheney and Sarah Palin have also been pranked.

Also, snowflakes in Hollywood and, as always, we end the show with Out of Left Field. 130 years of Marriage, cut mothers some slack and what a Democrat in the wilderness.
