but you see al sharpton is a race hustler. he is there to politicize this tragedy. why else was aoc at the funeral?

where is al sharpton? because the victim looks like was white does this not counts as injustice in the good reverend's eyes? the reeve the social justice warriors don't care to address ion black attacks in long beach 53-year-old said her attacker yelled racial slurs at her before punching her face. i thought i was going to die, too scared to share her name the attackers are still on the loose. again, this is wanton violence for no reason, broken families, a criminal justice system that's overloaded and too often treats criminals like victims and victims like criminals. so, does al sharpton and his pals believe that racism is the reason that teens under 13 in maryland are stealing cars? i looked and i looked and i found no sign of al sharpton speaking out last week after this story out of objection enhill, maryland where a 14-year-old orchestrated and attempted murder on a school bus and these problems speak to broken homes deadbeat dads and marijuana use at a yuck age. if al spent as much advocating for fa

kamala harris, but especially al sharpton. th i have a dilemma because never has the black upper classes, middle classes have vis more influence, more visibility, more poweibilie more success, whether it's barack obama or the women of o the view or they're very successful and they should be proud of the hard work that obtain that success. but at the same timeth, the innt city black community is inies an a crisis. and when you look at these spikes in violence, the dataat shows that young black males double their numbers and the the demographic as perpetrators of hate crimes and rare interracial crimes are overrepresented. three or four times. and yet al sharpton cannot or kamala harris, they cannot talke about the crime area because that's a source of they feelf ti they're demagogic power say and they won't criticizet and they can't say that,peope you know, thatno people are nott being successful in the black communities. we've got to be one fina l thingr . everybody should remembeonr the history of al sharpton. laura , whether

applause _ the reverend al sharpton up- applause — the reverend al sharpton talking about the anger thisce. the people watching these pictures and hearing some of that from al sharpton, remind us of the background of this case. , ., , ., ', ., case. this goes back to the 1st of may when _ case. this goes back to the 1st of may when jordan _ case. this goes back to the 1st of may when jordan neely - case. this goes back to the 1st of may when jordan neely was - case. this goes back to the 1st of may when jordan neely was a - may when jordan neely was a 30—year—old, michaeljackson impersonator, and police said he was suffering from a mental health episode when he got onto the subway that day. witnesses described him screaming about being hungry and needing food and that he was ready to die. passengers described feeling scared and frightened but his lawyers for the family have made very clear that he did not touch anybody or consult anybody. at that point daniel penny, a 24—year—old former marine got up behind jordan neely and took him down into a chokehold and two other people helped keep

it's interesting that al sharpton said jordan neely is just like us. actually, no, sir. arrested 42 times. you weren't homeless. he didn't have all these problems. so no, you were just like him. we are trying so hard to make this a thing and it's not working. partly because the people who are on the subway who have to use it to get back and forth to work, they know these things are so random.ged took him onto a subway car and that guy ended up going to the hospital. he's going to be fine. there's a woman who waeady thers stopped. slammed into it. random, by a homeless person. there's no other protesting on their behalf. where do you go to get that sort of support? so all of this stuff walks right up to the line before someone says i better put this person in a choke hold. the other thing i would say is the interesting thing, testimony from others in the car, i did feel like my life was threatened. i was grateful for him coming in. i imagine that will be presented at the grand jury and that we'll be able to get his reputation back. it will take a while. >> jesse: they can

and that's why al sharpton is there.sn't matter if jordan neely was a danger to himself and everyone around him on that subway. it doesn't matter that the former marine, who killed him was acting to protect others. all that al sharpton and the media care about is that jordan neely was black and daniel penny was white. without any context at all they declare it as racism. >> this is a city where this has happened repeatedly and we think about violence against black people, we have unfortunately been at the pert epicenter whetr it's law enforcement or vigilante justice. >> if daniel penny was black and he choked out somebody on the platform, there would have been no question, no need for that man to be walking around. i mean, come on. >> one of them is dead. a black man, black like me. too many black and brown families bear the brunt of system long overdue for reform. >> the left always wants to make everything about race without ever hearing the full story. america might run on dunkin' but democrats run on racial division

i hear the passionate eulogy by al sharpton. want to know where was the reverand and everyone in the crowd and everyone that played the video of the michael jack only impersonation when he needed them most when he was alive. judge jeanine: that's the very question you have to ask al sharpton. jordan neely should never have been on that train. he was threatening, according to the reports of passengers. he was physically threatening. he said he was ready to die and go to jail for the rest of his life. to anybody in the military, that's homicidal. people are afraid, they feared him. that's not the michael jack only impersonator. i wish he could have lived the life of being a michael jackson impersonator. but he was failed by new york city. he was on a list we hadn't heard about before. this is a list new york city keeps of the most dangerous and mentally ill and in need of help. the last one, a 67-year-old woman, her nose was broken by neely and her arm fractured. lawrence: we know there will probably be a civil case after this cri

but activist al sharpton is firing people up saying criminal charges must be filed now. >> if you conotsecute him, in my judgment, you will set a standard of vigilantism that we cannot old rate. the precedent -- tolerate. the precedent alone is a threat to the all of us. we cannot allow this lawlessness to go unchecked. you're not going to choke this young man to death and let us not stand up and raise our voice. >> you know, it's remarkable with al sharpton being around for 20 years, he hasn't saved the world yet, but apparently he is not. julie, it's kind of amazing, i try to stay off the subway as much as possible. you know, i was looking up the numbers, and since 2019 major crimes on the subway have counseled in the -- doubled in the past, since 2019, including 10 killings last year. though pickpocketing is down. but 10 killings last year. >> yeah. >> you know, what are new yorkers supposed to do? >> yeah. move? because, honestly, the crime rate in new york city has been soaring, obviously, since the pandemic thanks to politicians. and now it's getting even worse. so what do you do

i'll talk to the reverend al sharpton as he prepares to eulogize him this week. all that, plus a disturbing case in idaho. >> did you ever tell you if j.j. was taken over, possessed, by an evil spirit? >> yes. >> a verdict in the trial of a woman known as the doomsday cult mom. that story later this hour. call it coincidence, worlds colliding, or some careful political calculating. former president trump, and florida governor ron desantis, both happen to be and iowa today. desantis is the only other republican anywhere close to trump in the latest nbc news poll. nbc news is learning, exclusively, the desantis political operation is set to move into a new base of operations monday. the move will require disclosure to be -- which would be the first public acknowledgment that he's running for president. nbc's vaughn -- is in des moines, or trump ahold a campaign rally tonight. vaughn, trump, anyone's team, are they saying anything about this new development that desantis is looking increasingly poised to jump in? >> look, it's no coincidence that donald trump is her

politics nation with a great reverend al sharpton starts right now. good evening, and welcome to politicsnation. tonight's lead, let's make a deal. right now, president biden is flying back to washington with a deadline looming. nbc news is reporting tonight that republican house speaker mccarthy had what he said was a productive call with the president earlier today. the two leaders agreed to sit down one-on-one tomorrow in pursuit of a bipartisan compromise on the debt ceiling hike. before leaving the gc some of this morning in japan. we are seeing this right now on capitol hill. >> i think there are some maga republicans in the house who know the damage this would do to the economy. because i am president, and presidents are responsible for everything. biden also announced another round of military aid to ukraine. reiterating support for ukraine's defense with russia. i will be talking about it with senator bill cardin, he joins me just a minute. plus the gop presidential field grows even larger this week. south carolina senator tim scott making hi

. >> brian: now al sharpton wants to go after the two men holding his arms. maybe he was pounding penny in the head, let me grab this guy's arms, you try to grab the guy tighter, he got choked to death, sadly. i'd like to find out what is in his blood and what is al sharpton going to do today at jordan neely 's funeral to calm things down? he won't, he will talk about race and racism, none of which apply here, in my view. >> steve: it was probably the protest after the death of mr. jordan neely, the reason why the da has brought the charges and mr. penny will wind up with his day in court. hope he has really good lawyers. we know he has $2.5 million in defense funding. it is ultimately up to the people. >> brian: alvin bragg gave in three times, on donald trump, did not want to charge him and that book gets published and he caved. with the bodega worker, he put him in ryker's island and "new york post" put this story on the cover, he let them out. now this guy still feels threatened everyday, the bodega owner and you have this situation, everything was fine,

i want to play this from al sharpton over the weekend and get your thoughts on how -- what impact thistuation. watch this. >> a good samaritan helps those in trouble. they don't check them out. when they choked jordan, they put their arms around all of us. all of us have the right to live. >> martha: what do you think about what he said there and about whether or not you can get a fair trial for your client here in new york. >> yeah, again, you know, i'm not going to go down the rabbit hole of getting into a proxy shouting matches with the al sharptons of the world or any of the people on both sides of the aisle that are trying politicize this case. there's nothing political about it. this is a case of an everyday young man confronted with a difficult, frightening terrifying situation and took, you know, appropriate steps to try to strain someone that was a threat. as far as a fair trail, i've been trying cases in new york city for 20 years. the majority of which have been in front of manhattan jurors. i don't have any doubt at this time that my client can get a fair trial here. i thin

they don't need abuse, they need help. >> is al sharpton ever been to a funeral for a black person killedby a black person? was he literally worshiped at the altar of division pete she was at billy's funeral. how do we know? there are photographs of her praying all over the internet. she was also seen taking selfies outside the funeral. she's clearly very distraught over his death. after spending decades fighting for colorblind society, and really honestly, almost getting there. maybe 15 years ago. skin color is now supreme. in the media, in our schools, with our politicians. it's a lens through which every story is told. and increasingly it's how our society functions. victor davis hanson is a senior fellow reporter. victor it's always great to see you. what you think is going on? why have we return, i don't know, 1950. why do we return to the america that sees a through the prism through race. >> i think after george floyd there was a sense of our lease that there had to be some wrong redressed and they decided reverse discrimination or rejecting martin luther king's content of our char

i want to play what al sharpton had to say at jordan neely's funeral today.atch this fraud. >> jordan was screaming for help. we keep criminalizing people with mental illness. a good samaritan help those in trouble they don't choke them out. what happened to jordan was a crime. >> laura: ned only in sharpton's america could you go from kidnapping a seven year old and punching an old lady in the face to a gold and ivory casket. >> well, it's orwellian. evil is good, good is evil, and this is -- we have to be honest about this, laura. we are confronting evil, and these people want to completely silence us and actually speaking out and saying, no, we're not going to tolerate this. yeah we have issues that need to be dealt with. we should actually look into mental institutions again. but we are confronting evil in this country and i think it's incumbent upon many of us to stand up and say there is good, there is evil and we shouldn't be afraid to stand and confront evil. >> laura: sean do you agree this is pure demonic stuff happening right now. >> i think at pur

he was eulogized by reverend al sharpton.co -- in an exclusive interview, byron pitts sat down with his aunt. the great aunt says he received great joy from being a michael jackson impersonating, adding that he began struggling with his mental health after his mom was killed when he was a team. >> he tried to cope with it but he just could not cope with it. >> reporter: a video of the instant showing penny, a former marine, holding neely in a chokehold for several minutes until he stopped moving. witnesses told police nearly moments before was making threats and scared passengers and there was no indication that he was violent. penny is facing a second-degree murder charge. his attorney says that marine vet acted to protect himself and others. and reverend al sharpton pointing out that neely's funeral took place at the same church where his mother's funeral was held. >> janai: thank you for that. with just a week to go, airports across the country are bracing for a crush of passengers for memorial day weekend. one of the basi

i think that, you know, i spoke to the reverend al sharpton this morning.e things he told me coming back from buffalo was, you know, this was almost verbatim, he said i'm tired of going to these funerals, and i think he speaks for a lot of americans, not only black americans, but those the target of hate and anti-semitism over the last decade, and americans who are exhausted by gun violence, and exhausted by the kind of political hatred and division that's been on the rise in the united states, so i think we're at a moment in this country's history where we need to use every imaginable democratic tool and peaceful tool in our disposal to hold anyone accountable for the violence and the hate, accountable. excuse me, anyone responsible, yeah. >> there was a report in the "washington post" about jack teixeira, who -- the pentagon documents leaker who they did a deep dive, and he clearly, they saw, was readying himself for a race war. his friends said it, he wrote about it. when the tops shooter was, there's no place for you or your ignorant ideologies in a civ

most importantly, the media weren't there either and al sharpton wasn't there.ne of the best things that penny if said this his interview, he was asked about al sharpton the, he said i don't really know who that is because i don't really, quote, pay that much attention to celebrities. and i think we talked about yesterday on "the big saturday show" the pregnant nurse who does have receipts that that was the bike she was supposed to get on and pedallal herself home after a 12- hour shift, 6 months pregnant. you don't need to touch someone for them to feel threatened that they can't move from point a to point b. perhaps the same thing is true here. his lawyer is pretty bullish if his public statements about the uniformity and the, really the tenacity with which the other witnesses have already come forward privately as to what they saw and how they felt. now, if there's too much extreme force, that's another question. there were two other men involved in restraining mr. neely, and i think all of that will come out in a court of law as well. >> yeah, penny's attorn

reverend al sharpton did, in his eulogy, carry the message for the family.. we won't stop until we change the nation, until we change the city, until the jordans of america get help. one of the things that the family was saying over and over again is that everyone has someone in their family suffering from mental illness. it's so important that this country address that. the mayor of the city says he is going to do it. the governor of the state says she's appointing or appropriating a billion dollars to that. people want to see it materialize. they want more action and not just talk. andrea? >> rehema ellis, thank you so much, from new york. >>> road to surrender. the new book about the end of world war ii. president biden makes a historic visit to hiroshima with the g7. that's coming up next. you are watching "andrea mitchell reports" only on msnbc. a mitchell reports" only on msnbc. do you struggle with occasional nerve aches in your hands or feet? try nervive nerve relief from the world's number one nerve care company. nervive contains ala to relieve nerv

reverend al sharpton delivered the eulogy. >> the sad part about it, the sick part about it, is thatthe agencies that failed to keep him and give him at all choked jordan. those that let him go, even though they had his record of needing help, they choked jordan. the city agencies choked jordan. he had been choked most of his adult life. he is an example of how you choking the homeless, how you're choking the mentally ill, how you're choking all over the city, and we come to see this choking gotta stop. >> there you go, the rev, joining me now. reverend sharpton. president of the national action network, president and host there of the msnbc's politicsnation. rev, my friend, welcome. you spoke about how many americans, criminalize the mentally ill, and the homeless. what would be the most useful, first step in changing that? >> well, i think that when we heard mayor eric adams, who is not there for the time that jordan was being cited in brought back, said that he wants to call a summit on this. he'd bring in that those that disagree with those policies. i said at the funeral, that s

i know we heard from reverend al sharpton. what did he say? >> reporter: one of the things he said was he wanted people to think about how significant and pervasive mental illness is in this country. he said he suspects that every american family probably has a member or knows someone who is also suffering from mental illness and as a result of that he wondered why with it being so pervasive there's not more compassion to help people. take a listen. >> people keep criminalizing people that need help, they don't need abuse. they need help. in your name, we're going to change services in this city. jordan, you didn't die for nothing. what they meant for bad we'll make good. we're about to have a new city, and new city services. >> reporter: so one of the things when they say no justice, no peace, they're not simply talking about the criminal justice procedure playing out. folks are talking about justice in terms of providing services for people who are mentally ill. >> yeah, really important services too, rehema ellis, thank you for that. >>> we

gerry: reverend al sharpton delivered the eulogy for jordan neely friday, the 30-year-old who died onon was pointing the finger, of course, at the racial injustice, supposed racial injustice, as the cause. but a new witness has emergedded calling daniel penny, the man accused, a hero, and she's willing to testify on his behalf. has the left rushed to judgment on this? lee, you and i, we ride the subways all the i'm the, can be a fairly terrifying experience. we obviously don't noaa what exactly, precisely what happened, but there's a lot of sympathy for daniel penny, i think. and the fact now that he's been charged by the manhattan d.a., i think, is probably only going to increase the sense of injustice, do you not agree? >> you see what the legal defense fund is now, into the millions. there are a lot of people who want to insure that he has a fair trial. that is important, that you have a jury of your peers, that you have your day in court. none of us were inside of the subway car that day, but from from some of the others who were there that i day who are speaking out, they felt li

. >> al sharpton says he's not happy. he suizhou about the other three people who are who were helping to restrain him. if you have him in a chokehold or restraining hold. that means three other people thought he was still dangerous. they tried to grab his arm. we have some see the whole tape. these eyewitnesses seem to be firmly in support of the marine. does that matter? >> absolutely matters. and you have to keep in mind. just because this case started with a criminal complaint, down the road alvin bragg will need an indictment to proceed on any felony charge. daniel penny will have the right to testify at a grand jury and develop his defense. he has the right to discovery. and 15-30 days from now. this case is going to unfold and he will have the right to call witnesses, too. this is an interesting case from a procedural perspective. what alvin bragg is setting himself to do, he set himself up to have the case eventually dismissed so he can say to the court of public opinion, it wasn't me. it was the high-priced defen

and when i heard al sharpton yesterday time when when when black preachers preach, i was, you know, i'm catholic, i listen to ya. but then but he said, i'm a mountain climber. that's i'm a mountain climber. i'm sitting out here. i'm a mountain climber. i'm going help. i'm going to help finish that work. but all of you, each and every one of you, you you are also obligated to finish that were asked. right. how do you want to trailblazers? how do you want people? you finish their work so help me finish the work you do thank you i went out with this pollster to dinner one night when i was covering the white house, and he said to me he had martini. and he looked at me and he said, you know, we don't picture you with white house reporter at the new york times. and i said, why and he goes, we picture you at the new york daily news or the chicago tribune. and i said, you mean i'm too or i'm a woman and he's like, yeah. and he ordered martini, but bush himself was fantastic to me. he, he treated the men and the women just the same. and he would get upset with things. i but unlike later presiden

. >> take a listen to al sharpton. >> he didn't want to be a drug dealer, he didn't want to be a thief or a crook, he wanted to be like michael. that made the world smile and get on one beat, you didn't have the right to snatch the life out of this young man. judge jeanine: you know. but it were that simple. >> where he was, when he was alive, where were all of them? it is interesting, that the family now is suddenly involved. where was that go found me account to get him men fall mental health and service, they said he was hungry, gofundme would have been resourceful, i have a lot of compassion, we're talking about a kid who watched his mother get torn a part and put in a suitcase, i have a lot of compassion, there are others that are riding subway with similar struggles, is it the people on the train, job to take all of this into correction, they don't know the story, they know if there is a threat opposed to them, and you have people riding subways. that see people pushed into the subway, assaulted on the subway. they have a duty to act. i hope if my mother or my sister on the subwa

cases made headlines read around the world and i suppose those part of the reference that are from al sharpton angry being choked. fix, tired, we are angry being choked. lot of different things that were touched on here in his eulogy. he talked aboutjordan neely being choked most of his life. he talks about the city agencies had let him leave when he knew he needed help and sending them back into the streets in referenced up and sing the choking needs to stop and that we have to stop criminalising mental health in the city and at more support needs to be given. he said on the trend and nobody asked jordan neely if he needed help and he read a bit of scripture saying that people need to get their priorities and their values in order. in the question if on that train, it'd been a white elvis impersonator and a black man would come behind them and put them down in a choke hold. if the police would've let that person go. because daniel penney was originally questioned and allowed to go home until protesters demanded more action and he was eventually charged. so riverdale sharpton bringing up the ra

but don't tell that to al sharpton. >> he can't say self-defense. he was not at risk. let this go forward in any way is to sanction vigilantism in the city and therefore have national ramifications and we cannot let this guy. >> sharpton led to criminals and this is all from the backseat of a protected private car and don't think al's been on the subway for awhile. if a lunatic does attack you, the left want ws you to sit back and take it and don't want you to feel bad. >> i was hit at one point sitting on the subway by a man who was having a mental health episode and sat next to me and el boying and flailing around and m mitt me in my -- hit me in my face and everyone on public transit saw this happening and seen me struggling. my fear is not the primary object of what we should be focusing on right now. it's the fact that this person is in pain. >> jesse: we're going to get punched in the face and it's okay and we have to consider your attackers feelings and wabc radio host and author of citizens, syd rosenburg joining me now and joining on the street and justice and

. >> i want you to take a listen to al sharpton at the funeral this past friday. >> he didn't want to be a drug dealer. he didn't want to be a crook. he wasn't trying to be some negative. he wanted to be like michael that made the world smile to get on one beach. you didn't have the right to snatch snatch the lifeblood of this young man. >> but that it were that simple lawrence. your reaction? >> it was a lot for all of them. it's interesting that the family now is suddenly involved. the where is the gofundme count to get him the mental health services that he needed? they said he was hungry. look i have a lot of compassion. we are talking about a kid that watched his mother be torn apart and put into a suitcase. i have a lot of compassion for his circumstance and i'm sure there a lot of other homeless individuals and people with mental health issues riding the subway who have similar struggles. again is at the people that are on the train job to put that into consideration? they don't know these people story but they know if there's a threat posed to them. we have people riding the s

politics nation with a great reverend al sharpton starts right now.ation. tonight's lead, let's make a deal.

al sharpton is hoping for a manslaughter charge and stands with protestors who are demanding justice for jordan. now what about justice for the thousands and thousands of new yorkers who felt threatened over the past year by the city's rampant crime? remember the story of jose alva, that harlem bodega owner who also refused to be a victim. in self-defense, he stabbed a man who ran behind and jumped over the store counter and shoved him up against the wall. he was initially charged with second-degree murder. now, last july bragg dismissed the charges, only after a loud and sustained public outcry. but there is no justice for them in bragg's revolving door of arrests and releases because thugs feel invincible in the big apple. they have an upper hand on the streets and underground. like subway slasher alvin charles in 2021, after allegedly stabbing a 36-year-old teacher in the arm and stomach, he was freed on supervised release by a liberal judge and then last fall he was arrested for stabbing tommy bailey, a father of three to death on the subway. bailey fought back. but it was too la

the people who are making all the noise, the aocs, al sharptons city council don't take the subway. people who do take the subway every day know what it was like in that car. the uber class versus the subway class. that seems to be the truth on the ground here in new york city. >> dana: just so i can get it in here and statement said we don't care how many vacations he has been. just call for number four. these are the prior arrests for neely. these factors all coming into play as the grand jury meets and we wait to see what happens. but also, paul, i think it's really smart to talk about the uber class versus the subway class. over the weekend very violent weekend on the new york city subways to put it up here for you. 52% change from 2022 to 2023. ouch from 2021. as you say people who ride the subway you can see it with your own eyes what is happening here. >> the subway crime numbers, which is the default that everybody refers to, yeah, they are important but that doesn't really capture the atmosphere in the subway. most of the encounters that subway riders have with homeless peo
