when al sharpton promised on march...you look at the video, you notice something very interesting. it's a group of retirees who were paid to be there and they are not enthusiastic, not engaged and they are not authentically committed to the graft and not solid is. >> jesse: imagine finding trump voters adenauer sharpton conference. it's absolute insanity. it's a shakedown but when you filter it through the dti hr department, it makes it less offensive. is this just another shakedown that sounds a little bit better? >> that's exactly right. it's an inside outside game. you have the old-school street activist like al sharpton leading protests and putting... on the inside corporations have decided to pay what is diet dei tax. every executive knows that dei is anti- excellence, anti- merit, anti- competitiveness but they've decided it's an insurance that's worth paying. that the dynamic we need to change. >> jesse: it's dei insurance. when you see evidence of a lot of these very wealthy companies they are cutting their de i -

that hasn't even happened. >> then i take it to al sharpton. know your way around new york, the particular media environment and how donald trump has navigated this. he's not being completely reckless or what his supporters would call brave, by which i mean he's not just sounding off. he keeps testing, right? he used the fox thing be to try to say, i'm just sharing what's out there. what do you think of his tactics? how do you think this will play out in new york, an arena you know well? >> i think he's being very strategic, which donald trump is always strategic in terms of himself. i think he's testing it. you used the right word, ari, to see how far he can go because he's trying to poke the judge in hopes if he has to have an appeal, he can make the judge over react. he wants to poke him hoping the jung will over react and come down heavy on him, heavier than what should be done. so that's part of the appeal. he's always got something up his sleeve. he wants to provoke something. he's going to use fox news as the backboard for him to score w

he but the game is the same as it was with al sharpton. iit's a way to extract rants, extract money, extractct money e from the supposed oppressor class, and then distributet thw to people who don't advance anything productively. an left-wing,ly puse racialist ideology. but this is a fake ideology. wha it has almost no support. when al sharpton promised to march ont promio the offices of bill ackman, one of the most successful inventor investors in america, if you look at the video, you'll notice something very interesting. intere it's a group of retirees who are obviously paid to beup there and they're not enthusiastic, they're not engaged, and they'ret entht notitted to authentically committed to the grift. and that's really all itgraft a. >> i mean, who imagined finding trump voters at an al sharpton conference? it's just absolute insanity. and you're right. you know, it's a shakedown. but when you filter it through the d. i h.r. department, it makes ite. less offensive. is that all this is about? is this just another patronage mill, an

eastern al sharpton is coming up next with politics nation. so, what are you thinking? africa? safari? hot air balloon ride? swim with elephants? wait, can we afford a safari? great question. like everything, it takes a little planning. or, put the money towards a down-payment... ...on a ranch ...in montana ...with horses let's take a look at those scenarios. j.p. morgan wealth management has advisors in chase branches and tools, like wealth plan to keep you on track. when you're planning for it all... the answer is j.p. morgan wealth management. when enamel is gone, you cannot get it back. but you can repair it with pronamel repair. it penetrates deep into the tooth to actively repair acid weakened enamel. i recommend pronamel repair. with new pronamel repair mouthwash you can enhance that repair beyond brushing. they work great together. >>> good evening, and welcome to politics nation. tonight, down to the wire.

joining me now is reverend al sharpton, host of "politics nation" on msnbc. david jolly, msnbc political analyst and former republican who is no longer affiliated with the party, and catherine christian, former manhattan assistant district attorney. thank you all three for being here. brother rev, i'm going to let you have the floor on donald trump having the raw nerve to compare himself to a man you got to know, nelson mandela. >> it is atrocious. first of all, nelson mandela went to jail trying to fight to get people of color, black people in south africa, the right to vote in their own land. donald trump is facing charges, particularly in georgia, of trying to deny those that had voted in the election there and tried to disenfranchise them by trying to get votes that allegedly never happened. i was an election observer in 1994 in south africa. and i could not imagine nelson mandela who i did get to speak with and know with my visits there and his visits here, i couldn't imagine him calling saying i need 11,000 more votes out of durbin, can you help me? i n

but first president biden is speaking right now at reverend al sharpton's national action network, lbt remotely. we're not sure why he didn't decide to attend this in person today. also showing that he is hemorrhaging support among black voters. this is a major issue for him. let's listen in for a second. >> mr president our american troops at risk as well? >> president joe biden: we are devoted to the defense of israel. we will support israel and we will help defend israel and iran will not succeed. thank you very much. >> what would you do for response? >> martha: there you have it. the president was speaking to the national action network but it's kind of a strange set up. he is in the white house so when he finished his virtual participation with the group then he was shouted some questions and it's no surprise he went into exactly what we were talking to at the very top of the show which we will dig into with moments with former secretary of state pompeo weather or not he was concerned over an imminent attack on israel or israeli interests. he said we are devoted -- devoted to th

joining me now, reverend al sharpton, host of politics nation and president of the national action networknd someone i love claiming to be a good friend of mine. we will get to the pole in just a second. first, donald trump was in your hometown court this week. the city where he rose to fame. there are no cameras in this courtroom, but donald trump cannot escape the spectacle. what are you making of all of it? >> i think the one is his natural inclination to turn everything into a showpiece for him. that's part of his narcissism, but i also think it's a strategy where he is trying to provoke a mistrial, or set up some level of a legal argument for a mistrial. if he can get the judge to respond in a way that would be over the line in engaging back and forth with him, all of this can add to an appeal if, in fact, he is convicted of any of these 34 accounts. you always have to look for the showmanship of donald trump, but you also have to look for the underhanded strategy that he is always thinking of how he can outsmart someone. i don't think he is a smart as he is slick. >> has he always be

>> well, if they are following the reverend al sharpton model, remember back in 2004, reverend sharpton ran for president and the wind for him was elevating an urban agenda, a black agenda, a racial justice agenda if they are able to get on a debate stage, if they're able to gain some traction that could be a win but alternatively siphoning off votes from the biden campaign could they might view that as a win? i think a lot of folks might, may view that as a great loss >> i'm not >> making any predictions here, but i'm saying again, organized as money, organized, people win elections and i took a gander at their platform and it seems they have work to do. i know dr. west is planning to hit the road. there'll be in scranton, pennsylvania and in texas and in colorado. in the next couple of weeks >> but >> it's one thing to show up. in these places is another thing to turn this moment into a movement. and so we'll wait and see the court of law forte. thank you so much for joining me. thank you, victor, while we're talking about 20:24, the historic first criminal trial of former president t

katty kay, jonathan lemire and reverend al sharpton back with us. entitled "trump is no savior." why don't we go right there right after we tell you about president biden's easter sunday message. "easter reminds us of the power of hope and promise of christ's resurrection. as we gather with loved ones, we remember jesus' sacrifice. we pray for one another and cherish the blessing of the dawn of new possibilities. and with wars and conflict taking a toll on innocent lives around the world, we renew our commitment to work for peace, security and dignity for all people." compare that to donald trump, who spent another religious holiday posting on truth social. he posted 77 times. is he okay? the presumptive 2024 republican nominee went after his perceived enemies all day long. among his many posts, one in all caps, blasting the, quote, evil and sick prosecutors looking to hold him accountable for his alleged crimes. he also shared two far-right news articles, one entitled "the crucifixion of donald trump," the other calling him a miracle and take this

president of the national action network and host of "politics nation," reverend al sharpton.ith you. you were in the courtroom. aside from the historic aspect of this event yesterday, if you could break down the major developments in the first day legally for us. >> mika, one of the biggest things that happened yesterday, and, truthfully, what consumed the most amount of time, was the pretrial motions that the parties wanted heard before judge merchan. in particular, the d.a.'s office asking for clarification with respect to a number of evidentiary rulings judge merchan had made. in asking for the clarity, they took us on a tour of their case. it was almost like a mini opening statement. because we got a preview of all of the ways in which they are going to buttress the story that you and i and many viewers know so well. that michael cohen worked with donald trump to ensure that stormy daniels and karen mcdougal's stories never saw the light of day before the 2016 election, and, thereafter, worked with trump and allen weisselberg and others to paper it over in a way that we w

reverend al sharpton joining us, as well, and would love to hear from you, too, rev. >> yeah. >> donny24. the upper west side of new york city, jews are told by their rabbi, or suggested they should leave because it is unsafe. these are not protesters. these are violent, hatemongerers. the things coming out of their mouth, "burn down tel aviv." october 7th, we'll do it again, a hundred times, a thousand times. this is an atrocity. i'll say the quiet part out loud. if there was any group spewing hate and violence against any other group, asians, blacks, hispanics, gays, it'd be shut down. this needs to be shut down immediately. once again, those groups are back. those tents are back up. this cannot go unanswered. it's very simple. you know, there is a continuum of protesters. there is a heinous anti-violent ones that are spewing hatred, spewing death, if you will, and then there's the less malignant that say "cease-fire." even cease-fire doesn't have the word peace in it. never do you hear peace. this side doesn't want peace. it wants a jihad. this is not pro-palestinian. this is anti-i

plus host of politics nation on msnbc, president of the national action network the reverend al sharptonal scholar eddie glaude is with us. rev, you and i started this conversation with the bible. you scratch just beneath the surface and you get into the reporting of what's transpiring at his rallies and it's not even subtle. i mean, he is presenting himself as a messiah. >> no, it's not subtle. he's being very open and i think outrageous in saying that he is a messianic person. he's reposting that. he's coming out -- i mean, anytime -- it reminds me when i was a youngster growing up as a boy preaching in the pent costal church and these phonies come through that the bishop wouldn't let in that would sell blessed cloths and blessed oil. and this is trump. he is a man that's sold the cloths off of the suit he was arraigned in for trying to steal an election. so if that's not right out of these evangelical crooks that used to try to plague on many communities, blessed cloths, now blessed bible, now compare me to jesus, he is straight out of that whole jimmy bakker kind of tradition. the pr

host of politics nation here on msnbc and president of the national action network the reverend al sharptonhow that went down. >> she was on the stand for not very long. you're absolutely right. 34 years or something, she knows everything. they obviously concluded that she wasn't a safe witness for them. they used her basically only to in lawyer terms, authenticate who the contacts were, who the calendars was, and at the end she gave a peon to what a great boss he was. when she walked from the stand, trump stood up and wanted to sort of hug her. in front of the jury, improper. and the guards came to stop him. but she was a friendly witness, and the da decided it just wasn't safe notwithstanding how much she knows and she wasn't on long. >> i thought she had some interesting testimony though. rona is the gate keeper she was for years. she was up there. in my ear i could hear donald trump yelling, rona, get me my messages. she worked for him for so long. what donald trump's lawyers try ed to establish with her is that she did come to trump tower. it's interesting just before i get to that. sh

you have folks out there like al sharpton trying to gin up people to get them to vote for certain a certain party. i want even say which one but they are lapdogs and president biden, it's elder abuse. if you look at it he is in sad shape. who are you voting for? >> i'm an independent. >> i wonder if you had a choice as far as who you were going to vote for this point? >> i do believe biden and what he has done he request money. i believe that trump will do what he says. he would and that because he would take -- and i'm not willing to say what i'm going to do and that's part of the problem. everybody's going into their corners so i will leave it up to those folks and trying to get votes for me. >> okay again if you've been joining us for while we have been asking voters to give us a choice for 2024 for the next several minutes. if you want to let us know your thoughts 2-027-488-0001 for republicans. the facebook page facebook.com/c-span hour x feed. maryland the democrats line wiley, good morning. >> of morning and thanks for taking my call. i just want to say for somebody older in this cou
