W. Kamau Bell is a comedian who is the host and executive producer of the Emmy Award winning CNN docu-series United Shades of America with W. Kamau Bell. Kamau’s writing has been featured in The New York Times, Vanity Fair, The Hollywood Reporter, CNN.com and The LA Review of Books.
Kamau reflects on what it means to tell the truth about a very divided America, why the Democrats must pursue bold action to stop Donald Trump, the reasons that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is such an important voice and leader, and what he has learned traveling across the United States for his various TV shows and as a comedian. Kamau also shares his approach for listening to and speaking with disreputable people such as KKK members and the likes of Richard Spencer.

Chauncey also wonders how America went from grace and class with the Obama presidency to trash and embarrassment with Donald Trump and his corrupt kakistocracy court's visit to the United Kingdom during this week's commemoration of the D-Day landings.
