let's go to reverend al sharpton. where the president accused you of dealing with this question of distribution of vaccine politically and you said that you wanted to make sure experts have analyzed the vaccine. last night, you and i talked on my show about how many of the communities of color, blacks in particular, were skeptical of any vaccine because of a history with tuskegee experiment and others. how are you going to recommend to the biden administration because you're the only national figure that has raised this that even with the best vaccine there is reason for some people to have concerns and then how do we distribute it to the communities that have been most impacted that don't have the pharmacies and don't have the hospital facilities that you have raised because everyone is acting like there's an even playing field in this country when it comes to health services. >> amen, as i would say in my office. reverend, you're exactly right. this vaccination process has not been thought through at all. it's just

joining us now, presidential historian and msnbc contributor jon meacham, rev al sharpton still here.cham, i'm told we should not expect any graceful concession speech from donald trump but i know when john mccain had to give one, it was viewed by him as the most important speech of his life. why do they matter so much? >> yeah, well, how we handle defeat tells us as much about our character if not more so about how we handle victory. haven't we been taught that from the school yard forward? in terms of the country, the question is can we disagree but respect the institutions, respect the outcome of even quite closely fought races, and most presidential elections, i keep under scoring this, this number, the numbers we're seeing are fully within the main stream of where most presidential elections have been since harry truman won in 1948, and biden's popular vote percentage is probably going to be higher. there is also something totally fitting to the trump presidency that a man who came in to tear down the norms to blow out the buoys of our politics and our civic life that he would go

joining me now reverend al sharpton. these are the voters who put biden over the top. do you see this becoming a larger issue for biden? >> it will become a larger issue if he does not address it and keep the promises made. he should be meeting with groups that represent these various constituencies to hear from them on hold up he could apply this. in the area of racial equality, we are still one-tenth in term of black americans wealth, family wealth to a white family. how will reclohe close the weal gap. these are specific things he mustards. he said the night that he won the election, african-americans, you had my back, i will have yous. we want to know how that will be fulfilled. i trust he will give immediate attention to that. i feel he and kamala harris, our vice president elect are better than that but they must show that. s >> you're calling this a critical window. yes he must meet with these different groups. >> he must deal with the economic plight and the racial disparity in covid-19. blacks and browns have been tested positive, disproportionately and dying

and reverend al sharpton, for the black community, i think they answered that question in their votes. fair to say? >> very fair to say. we lost this year john lewis who was beaten on the edmund pes bridge in selma, alabama, to secure our protection of the right to vote. we lost elijah cummings. i think a lot of us by the millions had in mind that we owed it to john lewis and elijah cummings, we owed it to shirley chisholm who's the first black woman to be elected to congress. i was 18. i was a youth director when she ran for president, and talked to kamala harris she -- and all of that i think drove a lot of people that were the bedrock voters that joe just talked about that brought this victory to joe biden. we went in there knowing we were voting against one of the most racist, xenophobic and most misogynist president we've seen in our lifetime. so we had a reason to vote. but because of the john lewises we had the capacity to vote. we stood in long lines in those places, but it wasn't as long as it was to get the protected in the first place. and that's why everybody's in the stre

host of "politicsnation" and president of the national action network, reverend al sharpton. first to pennsylvania, joe biden has cut into the lead of donald trump significantly. around this time yesterday trump led by 700,000 votes. and now trump leads by just over 164,000 votes. with a lot of mail-in ballots still being counted. we could look specifically at philadelphia county. home to a lot of biden voters. he currently leads by 60% and we are still waiting for more than 244,000 votes from philadelphia county. biden is currently at 79%. hillary clinton won philadelphia county with 82% in 2016. we're also waiting for about 80,000 votes from allegheny county where pittsburgh is located. biden currently leads by 19 percentage points in that county. over in bucks county the state's fourth most populated county where unemployment rates and deaths per capita linked to covid are some of the highest in the country. trump currently leads by just over 3,200 votes with 58,000 votes still expected. trump lost bucks county by 1 percentage point in 2016. >> while we're talking about pi

hans nicolles and the reverend al sharpton.rev, first to you, your reaction to john kelly's comments joining a chorus of others that the president could dispute the election results but least he could do is give joe biden the access to the classified intelligence. >> john kelly is absolutely correct. when you contrast the fact that the president has now finally come and said something since the election and tried to say it in a way that he was acting presidential. and the fact is that his actions are the exact opposite because he's acing irresponsible. how are you informing the public about where we are in terms of fighting the pandemic but you refuse to have your experts and your administration sit down and begin the phase of passing over the information, the confidential briefings in the area of coronavirus and others to the incoming administration. even if you believe by some miracle this election is going to be undone, why, if you're really concerned about the health and welfare of the people, that now we're seeing these nu

also join us, our friend, rev al sharpton, the president of the national action network.capehart, congratulations, my friend. this was a huge, huge scoop. you were the person huge scoop. you were the person he wanted to do this with and it was a remarkable interview. i was struck by -- i watched that clip and i've seen it a couple of times now. this is president obama saying we do hard things. democracy is hard. but you have to want it. and i wonder if you got the sense from him that he thinks that trump has done some irreparable dodge to t-- damage the country in the last two weeks. >> i think don't that president obama thinks that he has done irreparable damage but damage but not irreparable and that is the whole point of his book. he has hope for this country and that hope rests with the next generation, with young people. but he does think that damage is being done. and as he said in the interview, he is not surprised any more by what donald trump has done or is doing. what surprises him is that there are republicans who are letting him get away with it. who are going

let's bring into the conversation now our friend reverend al sharpton, founder of the national founderhe most important senate races and the most important state races that we're watching are all still uncalled at this point. but we are starting to get some sense of the contours in some of the first swing states. >> well, when we look at the fact that we still don't know where a lot of metro atlanta is, which is going to be a lot of votes for the democrats. it's a large concentration of black voters. i think that that could help tilt the scales more toward biden, being that you have smaller counties who don't have a lot of numbers. however, we're hearing that there was not a huge turnout in the atlanta metro area today in terms of today voting or same-day voting. but in the early voting, there was huge turnout. so, when those numbers come in, that could be effective. i think that when you look at north carolina, you see the same thing in the metro areas that are dominated. this is where we're seeing the democrat is holding his own. and tillis could be in trouble. we don't is are the sa
