>> then deal me in. >> we talk to terry mccalliffe and all of that tackling the new fight over voting rights. from washington, d.c., this is "politics nation" with al sharpton. >> good morning. i'm al sharpton. live this morning from washington, d.c. check a few miles from here last night, president obama gave his final roast at the white house correspondents dinner. and no one was safe, not even the democrats. >> we've got the bright new face of the democratic party here tonight, mr. bernie sanders. [ cheers and applause ] >> there he is, bernie. >> bernie, you look like a

million bucks or to put in terms you'll understand, you look like 37,000 donations of $27 each. >> how much i admire hillary's toughness and smarts and policy chops and experience. you've got to admit it though, hillary trying to appeal to young voter is a little bit like your relative who just signed up for facebook. dear america, did you get my poke? is it appearing on your wall? i'm not sure i'm using this right. love, aunt hillary. >> but the president saved his harshest attacks for the republicans. >> some candidates aren't polling high enough to qualify

for their own joke tonight. ted had a tough week. he went to indiana, hoosier country, stood on a basketball court and called the hoop a basketball ring. you know i've got to talk about trump, although i am hurt he's not here tonight. we had so much fun the last time. and it is surprising, you've got a roomful of reporters and celebrities and cameras and he says no. is this dinner too tacky for the donald? what could he possibly be doing instead? is he at home eating a trump steak? >> and he wasn't done with the donald yet. >> they say donald lacks the foreign policy experience to be

president. but in fairness, he has spend years meeting with leaders around the world miss sweden, miss argentina, miss ash ar by jon and there's one area where donald's experience could be unvaluable and that's closing guantanamo. because trump knows a thing or too about running water front properties into the ground. >> joining me now, april ryan, white house correspondent and washington bureau chief for american urban radio networks, "washington post" political columnist dana milbank and former john mccain adviser, adoll to franco.

april, did the president set the blueprint on how to tackle donald trump? >> yeah, i think he did. he had to deal with the topics of the day, even if it was the trump steak. he dealt with donald trump himself, the lack of him being there. it's been so poignant he was there. every year we watched donald trump. the first year he was very angry. the second year he knew how to play to the camera. i was sitting next to the next table was eric trump and i can't laying back and watching to see how eric played it. >> because i saw -- >> he laughed. he laughed at the president's jokes and there was one point when the president first came out he kind of was let's see where we're going and laid back and started laughing. i think donald trump is fair game like every other presidential candidate and you have to deal with him. >> the president also, he had a little fun with the rift in the

republican party when it comes to the presidential race. listen to this. >> on the republican side, things are a little more, how shall we say this -- a little more loose. look at the confusion over the invitations to tonight's dinner. guests were asked to check whether they wanted steak or fish. but instead a whole bunch of you wrote in paul ryan. >> i mean, all jokes aside, the republicans are seemingly struggling to get on board with having to support trump and some seem to be coming kicking and screaming. i'm saying this morning's new york times saying very notable names say no, don't put me on the ticket. they are going to have to come to terms with this. >> it was fish in a barrel for the president last night, making fun of this.

in general it's been because the republican race has been such a parody. it's hard to not make fun of it. how can you say more absurd than what is occur actually occurring. he's funny talking about donald trump, i don't think that's the blue print, there has to be more outrage. >> i think sometimes donald trump is a caricature of himself. >> that's a piece, that's an element of it. it's going to be exquisite watching republicans now that it seems inevitable for trump -- >> let me say this, we're seeing though someone as notable as george will, writing a column saying that if trump is the nominee and it appears he will be, the republicans should defeat him in all 50 states. this is george will now. >> this is george will. but i think as the convention draws more closely and i think

after tuesday frankly, reverend, i think this will be functionally over if trump actually wins -- >> in indiana. >> in indiana. but i really believe that the nominee andal ternl tifs will be such you're seeing the coalescing and picked up more horse endorsements this week. i don't believe that the republican party will become fractured. about last night's dinner, if i could, my biggest observation, this is the prom for nerds as we all know. >> don't call it that, please it's the white houses correspondents association dinl he, not the nerd prom. >> i think it is. i don't think the rest of the country was watching this but i will tell you this from the dinner. what i thought is too bad the president doesn't behave more like this more frequently. i think he delivered very well. i think the president's demeanor and president's style is far better than he normally does. i think this is the barack obama people were hoping for we're seeing seven or eight years with

all due respect. i do not believe the rest of the country was watching -- >> we could debate that about barack obama but -- the fact is he won re-election so i think the public bought it. and talking about demeanor, i think you and i both took exception to george will using the n word in referring to the president. >> i think it was unfunny. >> it's another to be offensive, april. >> yes, you know, the whole -- and i'm going to say it, there was several things, he was teeing up for the you my -- word and teeing up for it, said negro nation then said thugs and then went to old term used with hate and anger, jig ga boo and first of all, you have to look at this. it's a historic night.

that's the last word for this the last correspondents association -- >> for first black president. i thought it was -- >> on top of that, historically, historically -- i'm one of three african-americans in the 102-year history of that dinner to ever serve on the board for us to be in the room and set us back that way. the history of that word -- >> i had to bring that up. it goes with another piece talking about this morning's times where they talk about trump and bringing out openly the problem of racism that is still alive in this country. >> he's done a good job and a very bad way of bringing out racism and trying to bring out the late tent sexism to boost the white male working class turnout in november. you see this going on. i think you're being quite optimistic about how republicans will get in line because i mean,

certainly a large number of people who don't have racist or bigoted motivations will say he's the guy and we'll get in line here. a lot of other people, even if this isn't a third party alternative, i have a moral problem with this. this is beyond politics. >> republicans or democrats. >> i think we've heard this and don't disagree with this, but we all been around here long enough. when power or the prospect of power and coalescing of it around a nominee who could become president of the united states, he has a chance to become president of the united states, however difficult role that might be. that brings people around -- >> don't you fear, adolfo, with the kind of racism and certainly been some of the pillars of his campaign, that it will risk senate seats and house seats? >> no question.

in our party, i think the trepidation is it was going to happen down ballot -- there's no question about that. however, i am seeing and there are respectable people coming along, people like giuliani, not exactly a -- >> we can debate that. let me take my break and we'll be back with the whole panel later in the show. lots more ahead. let's go forward. >> ahead, one on one with terry mccalliffe, now virginia governor. what he has to say about the fight within the party.

a brutal general election match-up against donald trump? it's been a rough primary between hillary clinton and bernie sanders. and trump says he's been taking notes. >> bernie sanders says a message that's interesting, i'll be taking the things bernie said and using them. i can re-read his features and get material. she has bad judgment. when he said bad judgment, i said sound bite. >> but this past week, sanders appeared to be begin shifting from attacks on clinton to attacks on the democratic party. >> the democratic party up to now has not been clear about which side they are on. are we on the side of working people or big money interests? the democratic party has turned its back on many of those

states. >> can democrats come together in a year they face not just a political challenge but also a challenge to their right to vote itself. joining me now is virginia's democratic governor terry mcauliffe who just made a big move in the fight for voting rights. thanks for joining me. >> reverend, good to be with you. >> we'll get to that voting order in a moment but let's start with democratic politics. you're a clinton supporter. how do you feel about the things sander has said about her and the democratic party? >> well, if you remember, reverend, eight years ago i chaired hillary's campaign for president. we had a rough primary season and went to the first week in june and hillary ended up winning one of the last primary contests, very hotly contested. i would think it is even rougher than what we're going through today. we all came together.

once this process is completed, we're going to unify. in 2004, when i was national chairman, working with you and other candidates, we wanted to make sure it was inclusive for everybody. that's the process. i'm excited about in general election. >> now, you mentioned eight years ago with then senator obama and senator clinton. and both hillary clinton and president obama have tried to sound conciliatory towards sanders and his supporters. let me play this to you, governor. >> you know, you've got to give bernie sanders, for example, credit. building on the work i did, smaller donations grass roots donors. >> i applaud senator sanders for challenging us to get unaccountable money out of our politics. >> what kind of concessions will sanders and his supporters need to come into the fold and support mrs. clinton assuming she is the nominee if that's

where we're heading? >> clearly you've got to assume she's the nominee. i mean, she's got the delegates and has many more, couple hundred more than senator obama had eight years ago. the process will go forward. senator sanders and his team and supporters will come to us with ideas and thoughts and things we ought to include. this will be a defining moment for our country. hillary will layout our message, going to win virginia in the general election. with a positive message and that message will help to be crafted by the same ideas senator sanders had. >> on that point, i want to get o to voting rights, on that point, pennsylvania voters, for example, in this year's primaries, democrats 69% say it energized their party. republicans say 58% say it divided the party.

are concerns about the nastiness in the primaries overblown, governor? >> totally overblown. it's going to happen because the issues we care about and senator sanders supporters and secretary clinton's very common themes, don't agree on everything. nobody agrees on everything. a unifying force will be donald trump as the nominee of the republican party. that will be the greatest unifier for our party. >> you made a very bold historic step in my opinion. and republicans in virginia slammed your executive order restoring voting rights for 206,000 ex-felons who have served their time. he's changing the rules in the 2016 election to ensure hillary clinton's victory, end of quote. weren't these rules put in place to manipulate elections in the first place, governor? >> they were in 1902.

we had literacy tests and disenfranchisement of felony convicts. we were able to erase about 115 years what had been very bad history in our state. i don't understand the republicans. you know what, their idea of democracy is fewer people voting. i come from the other side. i want as many people to vote as possible. since i've been governor, i've had to veto bill after bill from the republican legislature where they have tried to take rights away from people's ability to vote. i don't understand the republican party in virginia. the leadership wants fewer to vote. i don't. why give up on any voters. i told them to quit complaining. these 206 thousand voters go out and talk to them. they are not going to register democratic voters and say i'm going to vote for democratic candidate. go out and try to earn their vote. >> these are people who have done their time and have served

whatever their obligations are to the criminal justice system. >> when someone comes up to you and tells you their life story, it em boldened me. i was tired of hearing fathers tell their sons and daughters, what they would drive down to the polling booth, sneak in and get a sticker. they didn't vote because they weren't allowed to vote and embarrassed to tell their children they didn't have the right to vote. why do we live in society like this. you served your time. i want you back in society and feeling good about yourself. let's embolden people, redemption. second chances matter in this nation and we in virginia as i say are joining 40 other states but it is sad to see and i tell the republicans be very careful of your rhetoric and what you're saying about this. it is sad to see what the republican party in virginia has done, trying out to deny people the ability to go out and vote. let's earn their vote, if you

got a good message, they should vote for you. by demonizing them, you're not going to get their vote. >> governor terry mcaulifcaulif thank you for your time. >> a judge upholds north carolina's voter i.d. law, sparking an appeal in the courts. and an objection in the politics nation gotcha. i have asthma... ...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-terasthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled,

carolina's recent history however, certainly for the last quarter century, there is little official discrimination to consider. oh, really? no official discrimination. like the law itself, which creates a shorter early voter period in 2012, 70% of the state's black voters use early voting. no official discrimination? like ending same day registration. in 2012 black voters used the tool at nearly twice the rate of white voters. no official discrimination? like imposing photo i.d., disproportionately impacting black and latino voters. we'll have more on this ahead. but first, judge sharpton has a ruling for judge sh raider, nice try but we've got you. i hear you. to everyone with this pain that makes ordinary tasks extraordinarily painful,

in north carolina. critics are already appealing the ruling. hoping it will be off the books in time for november. one of the fiercest critics is a north carolina lawmaker who marched from selma with dr. martin luther king. took to the statehouse floor. >> here, now, i'm finding that i have to fight the same fight i fought 50 years when you look add disenfranchised and look to suppress, then think about the people who died for that right. >> joining me now is representati representative micheaux and joining him is allison riggs,

for the coalition for social justice challenging the law in court. thank you both for being here. >> thank you for having us. >> representative micheaux, those were powerful words about the franchise. what was the reaction to the judge upholding the rule in your state? >> i was not surprised. i figured it was going to come out, particularly since he held out the portion of the voting -- of the i.d. at the time that -- at the time the trial started. if you remember he only -- we had the trial on one phase and he took the voter i.d. thing at the later day. i figured he was going to do that. and but i mean, he wrote this 487 page novel that is just hard to fathom. >> alison, where does the legal fight in north carolina stand now? >> we're encouraged because it's

moving quickly. the fourth circuit court of appeals the next step in the appeals process just yesterday put us on a very expedited review. this is the court that struck down judge schrader's ruling on the preliminary injunction. we're going to be briefed by the end of june, hopefully argued in july and we'll -- we're hopeful we'll have this fixed in time for the november 2016 election. >> now, representative micheaux, how do you respond when the judge says there's no official discrimination in north carolina in the last 25 years? >> well, i think he's a bit out much touch with what reality is, particularly in north carolina. one of the things that we tried to stress was the fact that why did they have to go in and do this? we always thought that everybody wanted people to turn out to vote, that you had a big crowd. here the legislation that was

passed puts a damper on that. it suppresses the vote and nobody could give us any good reason. we thought that was certainly should have been foremost in the judge's mind. evidently it wasn't. he thinks that things are all right like a lot of people think things are all right. we're still having to fight the same battles. >> allison, many of us have been raising questions and seeking to deal with these voting laws that are around the country and what it has in many ways impeded a lot of people from voting. and president obama won north carolina but i only won by 1%. why is north carolina's laws in your opinion particularly more egregious than others? >> the scope of north carolina's

laws are the problem. i mean there are problematic individually but this is not just a voter i.d. law or just a cut to early voting. in fak, what this law does is attack every avenue of participation that voters of color availed themselves of in 2008. and so there's a very obvious attack to restrict participation amongst those voters and the way the -- all of the changes -- i mean this is a monster election law. the way they all interact with each other, creates an election system that's very hard to navigate. >> now, representative micheaux, it is a solution looking for a problem when you deal with voter i.d. around the country, these new laws in certain states, rather than a problem in need of a solution. let's take north carolina, for

example. because when we look at the facts, in the last presidential cycle, there was just 121 allegations of fraud. out of nearly 7 million, 7 million votes cast. that's a fraud rate of .00174%. i mean, what's your response to republicans in the state warning about voter fraud? >> well, one thing you have to remember, you had those 121 allegations but you didn't have any prove of any of those allegations at all. your percentage drops even lower than what you just gave. like i said before, we don't know what they were thinking about or how they were thinking about we've always felt that everybody, you know, wanted everybody to turn out and vote. but it's just a puzzle actually

to all of us who had been involved in this whole thing. i told them they could take that piece of abomination and con sign to the streets of hell and lay there forever. that was the way i felt about it. and you know reverend sharpton, the other thing is that people are playing on the fact that there was a larger voert turnout in 2014 of african-americans then there was no loss -- there was no suppression. what they don't understand is that we will not be intimidated. we will do everything possible to get people who into office who will take these things and backtrack the whole situation. if you had put a poll tax out there we would have scraped together to get enough money to get enough people to the polls to put people in office who would overturn all of this. all it is is a backlash and that can't be really a valid excuse for saying we need voter i.d.

>> representative mikeymichaeux and allison rigs, thanks for your time this morning. >> thank you. >> kick starting general election attacks, our panel weighs in. allergies. and i'm doing just fine. claritin provides 24-hour relief of symptoms that can be triggered by over 200 allergens. yeah, over 200 allergens! with claritin my allergies don't come between me

attacking each other on everything, from money to benghazi. >> instead of taking charge that night, hillary clinton decided to go home and sleep. >> donald trump says wages are too high in america. i said come out of those towers name for yourself and actually talk and listen to people. >> as far as new york, they are not real new yorkers, they didn't come from new york. >> those insults, the kind of demagoguery we're seeing from him, you have to ask yourself, what really is at stake in this election? >> and now, trump is hinting that he might bring up monica lewinsky again. trump tweeted that hillary clinton is one of the all-time great enablers. is this a preview of what's to come? let's bring back our panel, april ryan, dana milbank and

adolfo franco. how will clinton respond when trump makes these personal attacks? >> the way she has been responding is effective. i think the most important thing is he's going to label her as crooked hillary, already said that's what's he's going to do, like little marco, low energy jeb. i think the democrats need a label for donald, it should be dangerous donald, you don't want this guy's fingers on the nuclear button. the best defense is a strong offense there. it does appear that trump is going to try to run this. he ran a primary campaign based largely on sort of the white grievances and now it's going to be male grievances -- >> but april, does secretary clinton take the high road? does she go aggressively in offense like dana is saying and how far is too far?

how does she energize her vote doing this? >> this is a whole interesting topic. i was there -- we were there during the monica lewinsky scandal. it's a fact and it happened and it's over. hillary clinton found her strength in that moment because she stayed. a lot of women would have left. i'm not saying should should stay or go, that's not the issue. if she would have left president clinton at that time she would not have become -- would not have kept the graph tas as being a first lady and she stepped up. the nation watched her strength in a moment of weakness and hurt and pain. she left the white house to become senator of new york. then ran for president and then she became secretary of state. she has embraced it. i'm going to tell you something, donald trump likes to take the gloves off. he plays dirty but that's one of the reasons you don't see a lot of congressional leaders campaigning with him for office. >> let me go to that, when you look at the polls, 2016, women

voters, 71% disapprove of donald trump, 51% approve of hillary clinton according to the george washington university poll. that's a huge gender gap. and isn't trump's rhetoric helping to continue to move this trend that way? >> but these same statistics were used throughout the republican race. we were all saying if you push the rewind button on programs that no one believed donald trump would ever be the nominee. crossed the align and attacked every single republican and ethnic group. and the fact of the matter is his popularity only increased. i think frankly, labeling her as crooked hillary is probably going to stick. i think it's going to underscore the e-mail scandals and her own weaknesses. it has played very well and with the republican electorate so far and i think it possibly will continue to play very well. i think she has a lot of

weaknesses. with all due respect, i think it's a lot to have people leave the position of first lady. i think there was some vested interest in herself personally. a lot of people believe -- >> she was a wife of a man who publicly cheated on her. >> a lot of people believe their marriage has been an arrangement for a long period of time. >> we can't -- we can't talk about anyone's marriage. >> that's the comments that have been made. >> that's up for the perception of the american people. >> let's stay on the election. we'll deal with the -- >> it's been put on the table though. >> when you look at this from a general election, because adolfo says it's done well in a general election, we've heard e-mails and dealt with monica lewinsky for years. is the public really going to respond the way republican voters did in a general election?

>> trust worthiness on both sides. >> on her side though -- >> i hear you but on both sides. a lot of people i'm hearing from, it's like choosing between the lesser of two evils. when it comes to general election, this is dumping on a woman. he has to be very careful how he dumps on a woman. women are the number one electorate in the country. he has to be very careful how he attacks her. and so he's got -- this does play in a general election. it can play for her or against her and it can be for him or against him. >> it's also a matter of styles, dana, when you look at the fact that they obviously have different styles on the trail, let me show you what i'm talking about. >> in los angeles, homicides are up 10.2%, rapes are up 8.6% and aggravated assault is up 27.5%. what the hell is happening?

we're going to build that wall, folks. >> imagine a tomorrow where hard work is honored and streets are safe and communities are strong. and where love trumps hate. >> now, i'm going back to your point at the top of this segment. love trumps hate. love trumps hate. is that the message for this year? i mean, are there too many angry voters to use love as your message? >> that's a piece of it but i just think sanity trumps trump is much more of the message. it's not like hillary clinton is all about hope and optimism. she's definitely a more affirmative candidate to his negativity. i don't think it's fair to say that trump succeeded in the primaries, he is -- if not more unpopular now than he was before. he was able to carve up the republican electorate. he's got about 36, 37% of it. the thing is he is the most

unpopular major party nomination. >> i'll have to leave it there. >> i'll have to leave it there. adolfo and april and dana, thanks for your time this morning. sanity trumps trump. you heard it here first. >> we'll be right back with more politics nation with al sharpton. welcome to the world 2116, you can fly across town in minutes or across the globe in under an hour. whole communities are living on mars and solar satellites provide earth with unlimited clean power. in less than a century, boeing took the world from seaplanes to space planes, across the universe and beyond. and if you thought that was amazing, you just wait. ♪ unless you have allergies. flonase is the first and only nasal spray approved to relieve both itchy, watery eyes and congestion. no other nasal allergy spray can say that. go ahead, embrace those beautiful moments.

[ applause ] >> president obama literally dropping the mike last night at his final white house correspondents dinner. he joked that the first lady is eager to leave. >> you might have heard that someone jumped the white house fence last week but i have to

give secret service credit, they found michelle and brought her back. she's safe back at home now. >> and he also joked about what he would be doing after the white house. >> if this material works well, i'm going to use it at goldman sachs next year. [ applause ] >> earn me some serious tubman's. >> but in reality the president is focused on his legacy. laying out how he saved the economy in a "new york times" magazine cover story this morning. joining me now is msnbc's joy reid who just officially was

named as weekend host here on msnbc. thanks for being here, joy. >> thank you, rev. >> he has nine months in office. how is he already starting to shape his historic place and his views in history and legacy? >> i think first of all the president obviously very proud of of the affordability care act and taking any opportunity he can to tout that. he's going into his final year in the 50s in terms of approval rating and that sets him up to have thinks preferred successor take over historically a president with those sort of robust approval ratings is in a good position to have the next president be from the same party. i think what you saw last night was a confident president, ridiculing the likely republican nominee, mercilessly and i think feeling very confident going into his final nine months, six, seven, eight months. >> it also is that a lot of people feel he's not gotten the credit that he deserves for what

he did for the economy, the affordable care act, that a lot of americans have seen positive things done. his poll numbers have gone much higher. but a lot of the pundits and critics have not really given him credit, including in the african-american community for things he's done. >> it's interesting, you have the met tricks of the economy all very positive. he's done a good job of turning around an economy that was cratering when he took office and metrics on the economy look good. on the left or right, you still have people with a lot of but dot dot dot when it comes to president obama. >> how much is that concrete and an industry you can get attention if you attack him, making noise? >> i think some of it is overwrougt expectations, picking on guantanamo. >> i was offended to larry

referring to him as the n word, i thought that was so appropriate, the staut tour the president said. i'm against n word anyway but i thought that was a bit much. >> i think overall people who have looked at this president as having been racialized -- obviously electing first black president there would be racial aspects that would not be avoidable but people feel he's not credited enough tore saving the economy and detroit and the success of the economy under his watch. >> against a headwind, against obstructionists and look where the economy was and other things when he came into office. >> the obstructionist piece he played with it last night and talked about the fact now the republicans will stop taking phone calls and listen to him. that's been his presidency from day one. >> joy reid, thanks, be sure to watch joy saturdays and sundays from 10:00 a.m. to noon right
