al sharpton -- you notice al sharpton sold his life story to his own organization for $900,000 -- tohe national action network in order to give them a future source of income, he said. making movies about him. so he's well-equipped for this type of thing. >> tucker: he certainly is. i wish the republicans were more clever. just find a donor to set aside a million bucks, send it to al sharpton and once a week he will tweet something nice aboutio yo. it's just easier that way. >> msnbc like that, sure. >> tucker: good to see you tonight, thank you so much. >> thanks. >> tucker: dr. ben carson is the secretary of housing and urban development, obviously, but before that he lived in baltimore. in fact he spent almost 30 years performing pediatric neurosurgery at johns hopkins, the most famous hospital in america, which is in baltimore. knows a lot about the city and we are happy to have him join ue tonight. secretary carson, thank you very much for coming on. so you spent a good chunk of your life in baltimore. it's a sad city. i think it's a city with a lot of promise. what does it mean

why is al sharpton standing against the president on this?a: i talked to catherine pugh when she was still the mayor and i asked her about what's going on with schools here. she almost denied there was a problem with the budget or what was happening. it was all in obfuscation. i try to get her to focus on it but she didn't want to engage on it. as i said earlier, whatever you think of president trump, this is beyond a crisis in america. talk about the crisis at the border? we've got a crisis 45 minutes from here. your thoughts tonight? >> we are in two and a half years of this president's administration and there were promises made to people of color, right? they were promises made to african-americans, what do we have to lose? apparently since there's been this ongoing crisis in baltimore that the president just recognized yesterday, we've been losing time. what i think, first, he was factually incorrect. baltimore is not the most dangerous, crime-ridden city in the united states. >> laura: it's the most -- -- >> that's incorrect. the second

and even the language that he uses to describe al sharpton. n, it has this racial tinge to it. >> yeah. those tweets reflect the language of a new yorker, who has the sort of 1980s, early 1990s view of rerch sharpton who, as you said, or as charlie said, was a polarizing figure in new york city and remains a polarizing figure to those who might be ensconced in the viewership of fox news, but the idea that if you know rev sharpton as i know reverend sharpton and i have koved him since i was a little editorial writer on the new york news editorial board since 1993. one thing you know about al sharpton, he's not going to anybody's office to apologize for anything that he has done. the president, as always, is lying. he is tweeting out racist thoughts and we should take them for what they are. >> jonathan capehart, eugene scott and charlie sykes, appreciate your insights. thanks, guys. >>> tragedy in california. at least three people killed and more than a dozen injured at an ambush at an outdoor festival. we'll get live reports from the scene. we'

trump also went after reverend al sharpton for supporting cummings saying next reverend al will show up to complain and protest adding sharp ton is just a con man at work sharp ton fired back that he was if con man, he'd be nominating him for his cabinet. president trump used bernie sanders to defend himself against those accusations tweeting crazy bernie sanders recently equated the city of baltimore to a third world country. based on that statement, i assume bernie must now be labeled a racist. the chief of staff defended his boss saying he is not a racist, but this is the second time in recent weeks that the president used the word infested in connection with a pen of color. just recently the president said four minority congress women should go back to the crime infested countries where they came from. and this putting some of the president's allies in a tough spot namely congressman mark meadows who was close with both president trump and congress ma'am consumi man cummings. he says he doesn't believe either man is racist. >> welcome to 2020. thank you so many, pamela brown. pres

the put went after al sharpton saying, next, reverend al will complain and protest. he is just a con man at work. sharpton was quick to fire back, if he was a con man, he'd be nominating him for his cabinet. amid the criticism of the president's attacks on cummings that they were racist, president trump used bernie sanders' description of baltimore to defend himself. tweeting, crazy bernie sanders e equated the city of baltimore with a third-world country. based on that statement, bernie must be labeled a statement. this is the second time in recent weeks the president used the word "infested" in connection with a person of color. the president said four minority congresswomen should go back to the crime-invested countries they came from. the cabinet secretary said the word has nothing to do with lat tweets are putting people in a tough spot. meadows, who was close with president trump and cummings, said he doesn't believe either man is a racist. back to you. >> thanks for that, pamela. >>> president trump signing into law a bill for the permanent extension of the 9/1

al sharpton fielded a call from president trump shortly after his election, of president elect trump saying thank you to sharpton for something that sharpton had said about trump's political astuteness and the way that he was able to figure out how to appeal to certain voters to get elected. and sure enough his phone rings and it's trump saying thank you so much reverend al. so this idea that now all the sudden trump thinks that he hates whites, i think what's really going on there is that al sharpton, of course, has been the right's boogie man for two, three decades now. as far in the past as some of his episodes are, they still get attention in right wing media like they happened yesterday. it's pretty amazing. and one other thing i think is worth noting out, worth pointing out with regard to representative cummings is that there is a really interesting piece in the atlantic by peter nicholas who talks about the relationship that cummings and trump formed early on in trump's presidency. that, to me, doesn't sound like a man, a president who thinks that i lee elijah cummings is at or

lawmaker and the majority african-american city, but the african-american civil rights activist al sharpton who criticized the remarks describing sharpton as a con man and a troublemaker >> i make trouble every time racists and bigots move around in any way, shape or form, including the president. >> reporter: the president's defenders insist he's not racially motivated but fighting back against a congressional antagonist on the campaign trail, candidate trump looked for support from urban communities of color promising to help. >> what do you have to lose? >> reporter: today, some in baltimore suggest he hasn't stepped up nbc's rehema ellis is there. >> what do you think about the president's tweet? >> i think it was idiotic. i think it was hurtful i think it was bigoted >> i think he is a racist. not only his tweets, but i think he has some issues as it relates to diversity >> and hallie joins us there had to be a lot of emotion today as the president signed the 9/11 first responders bill this was the end of a very hard fought and emotional battle. >> reporter: you're right lester it mean

thank you, reverend al sharpton, as always, sir. , thank you so much. >>> robert mueller is set to testify two weeks from today. president trump is warning him. who is he? this is al capone stuff. he is warning him to stick to his script and is planning also a counter program, a big rally. who is he? this guy doesn't work for him. he doesn't work for trump. who is he to warn him? what is the bullying, or else what, mr. president? what are you going to do about it except you're acting like a bully, or a predator. we're back after this. ck after .

to the race thing, trump was friends with al sharpton, now he's not friends.o was he racist then and not racist now? heat targets so many people. the mueller is over. he's pointing out problems on the democrat side. the democrats are on the defensive and the media is on the defensive. >> dana: i'm not saying that there aren't possible negative consequences. i'm just saying, if the democrats have been three years, have not figured out a way to turn the tables on him, and then they spent four days diagramming a sentence, and it doesn't work for them. >> juan: right now, he's calling elijah cummings a thief, suggesting that cummings has been stealing federal dollars. i don't care about that. what i care about is going after people who had a reputation. hang on. 51% of american voters say trump is a racist. you guys don't hear this. >> greg: i love how the polling says that the president is racist after months and months of the media saying the president is racist. >> juan: i wrote a book about this just after he was elected. it was true then. most americans say t

but i got a long with him, al sharpton. now he's a racist. >> so al sharpton is a racist and called elijah cummings a racist and accused the congressman of stealing money but provided no evidence to back that up. cummings has been the target of 14 disparaging tweets in the last two days and also leading the legal maneuvers between the house and the courts to begin the impeachment process. now we may get a brief pausetac democrats will be debating on television tonight. that may distract the president as well, marcus. >> thanks, scott. >>> italian prosecutors are revealing new details about two bay area teens accused in the deadly stabbing of a officer. security cameras were used to trace those two teens to the hotel just 250 feet away from the scene. as nbc's keir simmons reports, that stemmed from a fight with plain clothes officers following a drug deal gone bad. >> reporter: the california teens will remain in custody, the italian prosecutor said this morning. because of the gravity of the allegations they face. the fami

al sharpton. almost every single democrat running for president is bowing down to the preacher turned msd and c host with a long history of racist and atie semitic representtoric. they want his support. whose support are they asking for? this guy. >> you ain't nothing, you a punk (bleep), now come on. [screaming] in the cave when we was there. we learned, they using it, we build pyramids. pyramids. >> sean: why are democrats sucking up and trying to get his endorsement. democrats want to lecture conservatives on race, really? then of course you have creepy sleepy crazy uncle joe. joe biden among those kissing the ring of al sharpton, biden has problems on the topic of race. we found out "washington post" reported he has sealed all of his senate records. open them up, joe, you want to see the president's tax returns, we want to see your records as a u.s. senators he once opposed integration of schools on the bussing issues, sligs itted the support of segregation interests during his fight against t

joining me now, reverend al sharpton, victoria, and kimberly. rev, was this statement racist? >> absolutely, unequivocally racist. go back to where you've come from is what we've heard throughout all of our marches in this country protesting racism or bias. go back to where you come from. go back to africa. this comes right out of that. it is also the president that has called countries names and has settled suits as a real estate developer for discriminati discrimination. we know what he means by make america great. others go back. others get out. he is the son-in-law of those that came from another country. he has stooped lower than even i thought he could stoop. >> is this a new low on race? has he crossed new line by saying this specifically? >> absolutely it's a new low and to do it on a day that he has talked about a raid shows the psychology behind the raid, behind the announcement and whether it ends up happening or not, it shows the spirit of this president and it is ultimate -- i agree with the congresswoman. ultimate white supremacy. >> when you hear this is not you

and expanding his attacks to include civil rights leader and tv host al sharpton who trump claims hates whites and cops. for the second time in two weeks, trump using language like infestation to describe the places where people of color live. and combined with his racist attack on four democratic congress women of color who he told to go back to the countries from which they came even though they are all american, trump is now making racial division the center piece of his 2020 re-election campaign. warning democrats if they defend the radical left squad and king elijah baltimore fail it will be a long road to 2020. the president's aides insisting this isn't about race. >> no human being would want to live there. >> when donald trump attacks people -- >> this is being perceived as race if-- racist, do you understand why. >> he's pushing back by what he sees as wrong. >> reporter: and the growing concern that the powerful committee chairman is using his oversight powers to investigate people close to him. >> this is not about not liking the president. it is about loving democracy. it's

weekend of targeting cummings and baltimore, trump expanded his attacks this morning to the reverend al sharpton, founder of the national action network, of course, and my colleague ahead of a press conference by civil rights activists in baltimore. the president wrote al is a con man, a trouble making, always looking for a score. adding he hates whites and cops. reverend al sharpton, president of the action network and host of "politicsnation" and my colleague here on msnbc is here now. you are in the crossfire. you may be in the crosshairs. what do you make of that, reverend? he's given you a platform to talk to the president of the united states on equal ground right now. because that's where he's gone. >> i think what he is clearly doing is decided that he's going to have a race-based campaign by going after high-profile blacks and others of color. certainly by calling elijah cummings a racist then all of a sudden i hate whites. yet he says he's been knowing me 25 years. he's come to national action network's conventions. even though we've disagreed with him. it shows a lack of intelect that

now facing allegations of racism donald trump has attacked the us civil rights leader reverend al sharpton the president fired off new tweets just hours before sharpton was due to speak in baltimore the mostly black city trump is derived as a rodent infested mess out of one tweet reads i've known al for 25 years as a con man a troublemaker always looking for score must have intimidated comcast n.b.c. hates whites and cops can really help it has the latest from washington d.c. . u.s. president donald trump is defending his criticism of the city of baltimore the congressman that represents in the lives of cummings his latest tweet now attacking civil rights leader reverend al sharpton in the city of baltimore as well as bernie sanders a democratic presidential candidate who the president claims has also criticized baltimore in the past the question becomes why is the president doing this now well it's no secret that democrats have been criticizing donald trump since day one of his presidency alija cummings the congressman is share of a very powerful committee investigating the president as a

the repeated use of this word — "infested" — is something rev al sharpton talked about today.re that way. but he has a particular venom for blacks and people of colour. he does not refer to a ny and people of colour. he does not refer to any of his other opponents 01’ refer to any of his other opponents or critics as infested. let's take a look at the reaction. democrat house speaker nancy pelosi criticised the president's "racist attacks". mr trump hit back, again on twitter, there was "nothing "racist" about what he said, and that "dems "always play the race card when they are unable "to win with facts". we've seen a lot of press reaction from this fallout. the baltimore sun criticised the president in an editorial. and author and journalist jill abramson has written a book about how the american media covers donald trump. i'm joined by her now. how do you understand this latest vociferous debate between the democrats and the white house on what is evolving? the way i interpret it is once again president trump has the entire press corps of the world focused on him and reacti

states and this sort of fall out continues and we'll be watching very carefully to see what reverend al sharpton says when he speaks from baltimore in the coming hour thank you for that can really help it live for same washington d.c. time now for a check of the world weather and the rains over china have moved north and west strong with some speed as well leave me weak you're talking about potential flooding in japan and now these things over siberia anyway have a look at some live pictures see what i mean this angle here other to my eyes is quite unusual the mar your body front nobody goes from japan that's in the middle of china it warm to slowly northwards so the korean peninsula and it's really rocketed northwards in the last one to us 3 days to be honest not where it lies there along its length there are still floods it's the quezon stationary front just say it's called by you by depending on which part of the world your in which means has been followers like some of the most dramatic which are couple days ago is in you know and you see this is this is result of flooding in this hard groun

no racist would be seen hanging out with al sharpton.s is as man who worked hard to improve our country and he has had success. unemployment among african-americans is at an historic low during this presidency and he's worked for prison reform. when you hear african-american leaders talking about our most critical issue ofs it's the area of houses. so he appointed dr. ben carson. it's disgusting political gamemanship to call him a racist. liz: the president, his supporters say, he's talk about stewardship of our inner cities. we are seeing estimates from $9 billion to $16 billion. it went from federal aid, taxpayer money went into baltimore last year. the president -- baltimore officials are saying the president is wrong there. what's your reaction to all of that? >> well, again, this whole concept of racism doesn't mean anything in america today. the word has been overused to the point that people are desensitized to it. if you look at the facts the mayor of baltimore had to resign as a result of the corruption probe. despite the tens o

he's taking aim at a new target, the reverend al sharpton. the two men have been friendly before. tweeted he was heading to baltimore, the president blasted him as a con man who hates whites and cops. >> he has a particular venom for blacks and people of color. he doesn't refer to any of his other opponents or critics as infested. he never said that their districts or their states are places that no human being wants to live. >> reporter: congressman elijah cummings tweeting, mr. president, i go home to my district daily, each morning i wake up and i go and fight for my neighbors. his hometown paper less diplomatic. "the baltimore sun" writing, "better to have a few rats than to be one." kyra phillips, abc news, the white house. >> our thanks to kyra at the white house. >>> president trump has granted pardons to five more people and commuted the sentences of two others. >> the five men pardoned had already served their required prison time for convictions including theft, fraud, and drug trafficking. the commuted sentences were for a first-time drug offender and a man convicted of

he is also focusing as well on the reverend al sharpton who finds himself in baltimore. esident called sharpton a troublemaker and a con man. this was part of sharpton's response. >> with central park, dealt with him on the "birther" issue. i can say what he wants. call me a troublemaker. yes i make trouble for bigots. reporter: neil, there happens to be some news here at the white house, throughout washington today, over the president just earlier this morning in the rose garden, signed a 9/11 first-responders bill into law. tomorrow the treasury secretary steve mnuchin, u.s. trade representative robert lighthizer find themselves for the first two days of talks into shanghai. try to move that in a positive direction. of course wednesday we get the news out of the federal reserve what they're doing with rates. the president continued to attack the fed on twitter as well this morning. none of that gets pickup or play. if anything is below the fold because of these criticisms of congressman cummings and baltimore of, the fallout with all of it. neil? neil: thank you very mu

i think a confrontation with al sharpton he welcomes. closely to some data that's being drawn from swing voters, people who went from obama to donald trump or romney to hillary clinton, people who really hang in the balance. there's a mentality of those folks of send them back, meaning those who are there illegally, not a citizen who's a member of congress. a lot of this bleeds together. and my point is this, we can't make the mistake that many of us, yours truly made in 2016 which was to think every time he said something beyond the pale, you thought, he's done. john mccain, he's done, mexico sending us rapists, he's done. time and again he disproved all of that conventional wisdom. >> why is it different this time? >> this is why i hope it's different. when you consider the fact that people haven't had enough, that doesn't make me afraid of donald trump. it makes me afraid of people who i share spaces with in restaurants, people who i share work spaces with. the fact that there's a quinnipiac poll that says that 45% of white americans

he's just escalating the feud with democratic critics of color, even dragging the reverend al sharptonnie sanders into it, still escalating those attacks on congressman cummings. mick mulvaney, white house chief of staff, hit the shows to defend president trump and credited the whole ter aid pointing to comments congressman cummings made while grilling acting head of dhs kevin mcaleenan. that's why he said he went on this tirade moved beyond any mention of the border, attacking baltimore and people who live there. nonetheless very few republican congressmen have stood up for congressman chairman cummings in the wake of the president's tirade. take a look at chairman cummings sticking up for his fellow congressman meadows earlier this year in february. >> mr. meadows, you know of all the people on this committee, i've said it and gotten in trouble for it, that you're one of my best friends. i know that shocks a lot of people. >> and likewise, chairman. >> you are. i can see and feel your pain. i feel it. so i don't think miss tlaib intended to cause you that. >> cummings was defending m

am i al sharpton now? he said, i'm asap rocky and i did not sign up to be a political activist.this young black man who is there in sweden in need of help. >> well, he is not al sharpton, but i am. and when his mother came, i don't care if it's someone that was critical and though he didn't say he was criticizing, that's what he does. even if he had been, we have a responsibility to be consistent and stand up for people human and civil rights as we did for meek mill and as we have been doing all my life. whether it was james brown or michael jackson. if there is a wrong, wrong is wrong. two wrongs don't make a right. we would be wrong not to say that there is something that smells about how this is being done and sweden needs to be held accountable and the united states government ought to intervene for an american citizen. >> even if he didn't want to stand up during the black lives matter movement. >> if he did not want to stand up for others, that does not mean others have a responsibility to stand up for him and maybe he will see why people do what they do when they stand up

i got along with them, al sharpton. he's racist. he's a racist. what i've done for african-americans in two jacksonville, floriand a half years, no president has been able to do anything like it. >> president trump, the least racist person you know, according to his own account. escalating his attacks against prominent african-americans including, of course, his inflammatory racial rhetoric against elijah cummings, but also al sharpton, our colleague and anchor of a program on msnbc. this as "the washington post" details a white house on edge with some aides describing the president's attacks as a distraction or politically unhelpful. joining me now to sort all through this is ashley parker, msnbc senior political analyst and kimberly adkins. ashley, we'll go through the origins of the attack on elijah cummings. tell us how that started. the president is watching the homeland security, over sight hearing with the homeland security director. >> there were a couple of issues that had the president sort of very frustrated with chairman cummings. one

he allows people like elijah cummings and al sharpton to get -- a group of people very underserved and very upset, in a very tough situation, and they make the president of their enemy. they also live in a place where they need to figure out some solutions. i would be frustrated if the person who was representing me is talking about impeachment. it's a very fair point, but i also think it's very difficult to rationalize the president's comments away as though they are nothing. obviously if you have identity politics on both sides, working actively, most people are going to lose when you have everyone who is being forced into a pen based on race. >> julie: let me ask you -- >> darrell: i like that she said that baltimore is underserved. that's what the president said. for 25 years, it was underserved by somebody who exploited their property rather than really making efforts to change that. >> julie: baltimore in fact had wanted, in the past, for the city to be declared a disaster because they could get federal funds. sms pointed out, it was like third world country. there were many buil

that represents it a logic cummings his latest tweet now attacking civil rights leader reverend al sharpton in the city of baltimore as well as bernie sanders a democratic presidential candidate who the president claims has also criticized baltimore in the past the question becomes why is the president doing this now well it's no secret that democrats have been criticizing donald trump since day one of his presidency alija cummings the congressman is share of a very powerful committee investigating the president as it times been participating in discussions about potential impeachment it appears the president is swinging back as part of a political strategy in order to try and win the 2020 alexion he already knows that cities like baltimore other cities he's criticized in the past like chicago are typically liberal strongholds they do not for the most part like donald trump they do not support his platform so he has in terms of political strategy donald trump has nothing to lose and everything to gain by criticizing these cities it appears to galvanize his base particularly in rural areas a
