mayor bloomberg has nothing to apologize to, to al sharpton, to elizabeth warren or bernie sanders other than he's an extraordinary man with an extraordinary record he may well differ with them on some ideas but goodness gracious, we need to come together as a party. g >> laura: they have been trashing the billionaire class i don't care how they vote, the billionaires are the problem and elizabeth warren is now planning a massive expansion of government, watch. >> i want structural change in this economy. 2020 is our time in history. our time to win the fight for a green new deal and save our planet, our time to win the fight for medicare for all and save our people. >> laura: no recession in sight, people are predicting a bigger year next year than thehe past year which was unbelievable. >> many of the policies of the left, most of them are talking about, they are actually not very popular with the american people. the question is if mike bloomberg does what's good for the party and bring some common sense back to the table, he's got zero chance to get the nomination. that's a conundrum

and as i predicted, al sharpton comes along and says that's basically all well and good, i'm paraphrasinghe has a lot of other work to do to prove his bona fides, mike bloomberg has to prove himself to al sharpton, that's the part it's going to be trumped? >> i don't think mike bloomberg has to prove himself to anyone whether as a businessman, a political leader, a mayor, a philanthropist. he's done an enormous amount of good and he's a man of firm worldviews. >> laura: stay on the question, you're not on the table with me tonight, you're representing bloomberg, i ask you a specific question, the question as he comes out and feels the need to apologize after being mayor for all those years, he comes out to apologize. and then they say that's not enough, give him an inch, take a mile, he wants more and more, that's with the left has become, it's never good enough. >> i apologize, let me be clear. the fact that sharpton attacked bloomberg who has worked with constructively in new york, elizabeth warren, bernie sanders, the whole left in personal terms because of his desire to get his worldv

now i turn it over to reverend al sharpton and "politicsnation." >>> good evening.t's lead, one year to go with exactly 366 days until election day, a brand-new poll by nbc news and "the wall street journal" shows that while national support for impeaching president trump grows and a majority of americans disapprove of his job performance, his base remains solid as ever. but what also stands out from the poll is that these numbers have been

what does al sharpton have to do with not a thing going to work and that's this problem as well and it's interesting because this is the problem that it's across the political spectrum this isn't just a democratic candidate problem it's also a republican problem as well because i don't think that either of these 2 parties are really operating at least a majority of these 2 parties are really operating with the idea of truly helping the people that they always one appeal to. when you take a look i want to look at this clip was the 1st lady melania trump took the stage to speak about the opioid crisis a crisis that the be more you some in baltimore let's take a listen what happened when they announced it is my. turn i'm going to. have a lot of boos for 1st lady going to talk about the crisis but to me there's something inherently that's part of the problem is you have the 1st lady of godless the trumps malani of truck. what's the 1st lady know about the opioid crisis affecting baltimore you know what do you know why are these people trying to pretend that like oh i can come there and speak

al sharpton said we told him we feel the exemption for politicians could use to suppress census taking> we've seen how politicians regularly traffic stereo types. >> reporter: cara is the executive director and was at the meeting. >> this is the document i handed mark. >> reporter: she specifically mentioned to him this postby a state senator who falsely claimed omar attended an al- qaida camp. >> facebook did release a statement saying they thanked the attendees for giving them the time and they look forward to continuing the conversation. >>> pg & e ceo bill johnson and other officials met with governor newsom as part of the utilities ongoing bankruptcy case. in the meantime, they sent a letter to state regulators saying they're concerned about the bankruptcy proceedings. they want the commission to explore the option of public ownership. >> with pg & e that needs to arrive at junk bonds for the future. and we need to move forward with a different approach. >> reporter: the letter was signed by mayors representing more than 20 california cities including san jose, san francisco and o

and joining the conversation right now is reverend al sharpton, host of "politicsnation" and presidentaction network. joe biden's leading the pack, same as it ever was. it reminds me of something that former president obama said a couple weeks ago at a private dinner. he said americans don't want to remake the system. they don't want a revolutionary overhaul. what they want is a candidate who will vow to improve the system. basically he was saying that a moderate should be the one that democrats pick. and apparently former president obama was speaking to the pulse of the democratic, most democratic voters. >> well, i think you clearly would see from these poll results that those that are considered the moderates or the centrist democrats are the ones that are gaining traction and that would be joe biden and even buttigieg who, according to this quinnipiac poll has began rising even more. so clearly i think that president obama, to no surprise, has his hand on the pulse of a lot of voters. because i think that many are concerned, a, that the system be corrected, and, b, that they are in

and i'm sorry. >> joining me now, host of "politics nation" reverend al sharpton. i was in local news covering stop and frisk. you were battling mike bloomberg against stop and frisk. this collectively blew a lot of folks' minds that he would apologize for something that he so aggressively defended during his tenure. and i think as recently as last fall. >> yes, you know, not only were we marching, you had people going to court. center for constitutional rights, new york itself liberties union, proved in court the racism involved in the stop and frisk policy. >> you can put the numbers up. >> yes, even in white areas black and brown were disproportion natalie tdisro disproporti disproportionately stopped. we couldn't get him to move on this. and though we would talk with him on other issues, he and president obama and i met on education reform, he wouldn't budge here. so there was no one more surprised than i was when he made the statement yesterday. and when he called me right after the statement. i said to him, it is going to take more than would be speech to get

where was al sharpton and his concerns when things were being pushed about russia collusion and theree trump campaign. where was he at then? when we talk about voter suppression, when we see these advocates and civil rights leaders trying to silence people or trying to interfere with people's first amendment right which is freedom of speech and they are try to decide who we need to vote for instead of letting the voters decide that's voter suppression. >> that's right. >> it looks like al sharpton and the left is trying to put in voter suppression because they don't have the advertising dollars to pay for ads. >> that's right. >> they are trying to bully these social media platforms to stop politicians from promoting their ads. >> what's really infuriating is the fact that they feel like we are not intelligent enough to make our own decision. look, just display all of the options that we have and let us decide for ourself. we now have our own minds. we can think for ourselves. >> we have our own mouth. we can speak for ourself. we don't need al sharpton and other black leaders, these

i talked to al sharpton about this once and he said the best response from anyone, when al sharpton invitedidates to speak to harlem, the biggest response by far was to pete, a standing ovation in harlem. >> really? >> he said the reaction in harlem was by far the most excited. it remains to be seen if pete is really never going to get past this hurdle. >> yamiche, the other thing of course that's now coloring everything else is the impeachment hearings, and the candidates' stand on impeachment. we know nancy pelosi, the democratic leader, was very reluctant to do this, and came to it only under changing circumstances and pressure from their caucuses. let's take a look at how some of the democratic candidates talked about impeachment and the possibility of prosecuting the president post-presidency during the debate the other night. >> i will not dictate who should be prosecuted or who should be exonerated. that's not the role of the president of the united states. it's the attorney general of the united states, not the president's private attorney. >> we have a president who was engaged in

they agreed not to talk about specifics, but al sharpton said we told him that we felt it could suppress voting. >> we've seen how politicians regularly traffic anti-muslim stereo types. >> reporter: there was a senator that falsely claimed congresswoman omar attended a terrorist camp. >> this is about endangering people's lives by allowing this hate content to proliferate. >> reporter: did you get the sense he was listening and taking it all to heart? >> i felt like i was heard, and i'm somewhat hopeful that after this meeting with mark and his personal continued involvement that we'll begin to see facebook really take a renewed interest and attention to these concerns. >> reporter: and facebook released a statement we're grateful that these prominent leaders of the civil rights community took the time to attend a private dinner. they discussed a range of important issues and we look forward to continuing these conversations. >>> well, it was just last week that twitter took a much difference stance its social media rival. that company announcing it would ban all political ads on its si

joining the table now reverend al sharpton, host of "politicsnation" here on msnbc. the president of the national action network aaron and the table are still with me as well. rev, to you first. i barely knew this guy, he used it on paul manafort. he used it on michael cohen who he knew for years basically saying he was mostly a pr guy, not really a lawyer of mine. used it on george papadopoulos. and now on gordon sondland. he spoke to multiple times over the last couple of years. this is a guy who donated a million dollars to his inauguration, and he is saying, yeah, i don't really know him. >> well, if this continues you will hear him say he doesn't know eric and donald jr. this is donald trump. we know his character. he is going to try and distance himself from anyone. the facts though speak for themselves. sondland could not have made those statements unless trump had said, in fact, what he said. and that the military aid was withheld. i mean, we can talk all day long about who knew howho. how was the military aid not given to ukraine? who needed it? russia could

doesn't name them by name and obviously the signatories with the urban league and how al shot - - al sharpton and those to give us cover for race discrimination. and then to say we have a minority for those that are some kind of artists and that the african-american entertainers were to be signed up with comcast for go now the period covered by the complaint is 2005 through 2015. in a nutshell that you have the races block with the obama administration the oldest civil rights organizations in the country. that on any planet to satisfy i don't know how many paragraphs it could have 100 but on any planet that satisfies then the system has real problems. if we go back to the question that justice alito asked earlier with the allegations one thing to make clear with respect to be covered by the complaint which is 2008 that by at&t and directv which are the largest in the country by 25 million or so those are the events in the complaint so with respect that they can be sure by references one as a settlement so we say they were all pending and then have some bearing like we just fell off the turnip

president of the national action network reverend al sharpton. chairman of priorities usa guy cecil. and mika is out on assignment this morning, but, willie, so much -- so much to talk about. and still thinking about iowa, we've got a south carolina -- mayor pete moving ahead there. we have a south carolina poll out today that shows joe biden once again doing extremely well there. this is such a fluid, exciting race on the democratic side. >> you see mayor pete jumping up, he's at 25% in iowa. and south carolina, he's big in joe biden. we'll get into that in a moment. but let's begin today kick off week two in public testimony in the impeachment probe. we'll get into who will be testifying in a moment, but first latest abc news poll shows where americans are now on this issue. 70%, 7-0, think the president's actions with ukraine were wrong. only 25% think they were not. among those who think his actions were wrong, 51% think he should be impeach and removed from office. 6% think he should be impeached and not removed from office. and 13% think he

earlier this year, they all went up to kiss the ring of former fbi informant al sharpton. denouncing the whole country is racist, even r inventing new kinds of racism you never heard of. >> we live in a country now where the president is advancing environmental racism, economic racism, criminal justice and back racism, health care racism. >> we can't be blind to the impact of generations of racism and white supremacy that were written into our laws. >> tucker: so democratic leaders are telling african-american voters, you've got a lot to be angry about but if you look at the polls, african-american voters don't seem that angry. recent polling bothn- have troue getting about 34% approval from african-american voters. those numbers, are they real? and attorney in u.s. civil rights commissioner joins us tonight. peter, thank you so muchth for joining us. i've never seen any number like that. a couple of polls have that in that range. should we believe those numbers and what do they tell us? >> i think you can believe them because although rasmussen and amberson are both recen

including the reverend al sharpton.event said there were a lot of concerns over facebook's not fact-checking. we've seen that criticism across the spectrum. it does seem, however, that facebook is not budging on this, that think will no not fact-check politicians and they will allow politicians including the trump politicians to post lies. >> he faces two issues, not just the political ads but also lots and lots of privacy concerns. i take it he got not just the appetizers and the entrees, but an earful from these leaders. >> absolutely. we were told that it was steak and scallops which were on the menu monday night, but, yes, quite a bit of tension around the table. a really extraordinary statement from the head of lawyers committee for civil rights under law. this is a civil rights group that has been working with facebook for the past few years trying to improve civil rights and the platform. they said you're -- to facebook, you're using first amendment principles as a smoke scene to mask harmful policy decisions tha

will be meeting with political rights groups to talk about their political ad worries, including al sharptono meet with these leaders can help, but also how much of a distraction is it? well, when i saw twitters news yesterday, my first reaction was i thought this was terrible news for facebook. i didn't think of it in terms of just twitter exclusively. every single person who is out there thinking facebook's policy is wrong can point to twitter and say, they're doing this, why can you not do that? hillary clinton was tweeting about this. a number of other politicians yesterday kind of took jack dorsey's tweet and spread it out and said, "ok, facebook, it's your turn next," and i think that pressure is the biggest thing. taylor: and coming up, it's one of the biggest things to emerge from the facebook cambridge analytica scandal. brittany kaiser. she talks about her data. that's next. this is bloomberg. ♪ taylor: as we mentioned earlier, twitter ceo jack dorsey made the decision to remove political ads on twitter. $10 million led by jack dorsey. he was speaking at the blockchain week on thur

neil: al sharpton said one speech does not a policy make. where do you see it going there?e most serious example of him being very serious about running. >> i think he will be able to get through it. because i think he has built enough goodwill, spread enough money around, for in these organizations. remember, jesse jackson runs operation push. just so you know, i have not looked at his campaign disclosures i don't know if bloomberg gave him any money but that is typically how -- neil: will he survive this, do you think? >> i think he has spread enough money around to various organizations. neil: what kind of a threat is he as the democratic race heats up? >> kyle smith wrote a great article in the post, i love kyle's writing, because he annoys everybody in certain way, the guy telling you to do things even though people hate that. smoking is not good. neil: big gulp. >> we have socialized medicine in new york city. neil: yes, we do. >> you don't want to subsidize people's obesity and diabetes, stuff like that. it makes sense what he does but people don't like being told. s

maya, reverend al sharpton has a question for you.d al. >> i remember maya, one night at the white house when president obama was in i think it was a jazz concert and elijah and you were there and how passionate he was about various pieces of legislation. and you and him talking to me about it together, it was clear that you were partners as well as husband and wife. so in many ways you're not continuing his legacy, it's continuing what you were already involved in and he would defer to you in a way that was unusual to me. as you go forward now in this race, are you also saying that i'm continuing my journey that elijah and i went and walked together and he would expect me to keep going forward as we deal with this president who attacked baltimore and attacked elijah and the things that he stood for? because i think that from my knowledge of you, the policies and the legislation was always more important than the theatrics. >> absolutely. and so thank you, reverend al. i have been fighting in the trenches for a long time. many people
