i'm al sharpton. if i had said a year ago that donald trump would clinch the gop nomination before the democratic nominee clinched that nomination, would you have called me crazy. but that's what happened this week and it's allowed trump to focus on his likely opponent, hillary clinton. >> she is a total lightweight. she was an unbelievably nasty, mean enabler. she goes and donald trump is a terrible person! and he wanted to buy housing when it was at a low point. who the hell doesn't? who doesn't? she's declared war on the american public. she's as crooked as they come. >> >> clinton is still dealing with bernie sanders and questions about the e-mail controversy while doing her best to hit back against trump. >> he actually said he was hoping for the crash that caused hard working families in california and across america to lose their homes. donald trump is an urgent threat. trump economics is a recipe for lower wages, fewer jobs, more debt. how can anybody lose money running a casino, really? we're

i'm al sharpton. live this morning from washington, d.c. check a few miles from here last night, president obama gave his final roast at the white house correspondents dinner. and no one was safe, not even the democrats. >> we've got the bright new face of the democratic party here tonight, mr. bernie sanders. [ cheers and applause ] >> there he is, bernie. >> bernie, you look like a million bucks or to put in terms you'll understand, you look like 37,000 donations of $27 each. >> how much i admire hillary's toughness and smarts and policy chops and experience. you've got to admit it though, hillary trying to appeal to young voter is a little bit like your relative who just signed up for facebook. dear america, did you get my poke? is it appearing on your wall? i'm not sure i'm using this right. love, aunt hillary. >> but the president saved his harshest attacks for the republicans. >> some candidates aren't polling high enough to qualify for their own joke tonight. ted had a tough week. he went to indiana, hoosier country, stood on a baske

can you give me a little al sharpton? the only person i've ever really seen that says -- i feel is saying exactly what he's thinking all time. so he says things that people don't say. i was watching tv one day and i saw one politician talk about homeland security. i change the channel i saw joe lieberman talking about tax cuts. i turn on "hannity" and i hear sharpton say, i did not call giuliani a bozo. [ laughter ] i said bozo could have done just as good a job as rudy giuliani. [ laughter ] clearly that's not calling giuliani a bozo. clearly that's not saying giuliani is bozo. in a world of difference. [ laughter ] [ applause ] >> seth: thank you so much. always love a taste of sharpton. and thank you so much for being here. give it up for darrell hammond, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] coming up next geoff johns from dc entertainment. we'll be right back. ♪ forty years ago they thought it was impossible to brew a great tasting light beer. so we got to brewing and told them to sip on this. the original light beer. s

you had him on as a guest while you played al sharpton. >> yes. >> seth: so it's double sharpton. >> how was he? did he have notes on the sharpton sketch? >> he was super nonchalant about it. he was like i'm cool, bro. alright, do you have anything to say about it? i'll see you tomorrow. [ laughter ] okay, cool. but the ultimate compliment when you do an impression of somebody and then they come on the show and you get to do it with them or whatever. >> seth: that's an ultimate compliment. you got a compliment as well from david ortiz. you've been doing big papi on the update desk absolutely. [ cheers ] >> i know we're in new york, but i love that dude. >> seth: i love big papi, too, obviously, dear to my heart. i text to joe every sunday about that to me is the joy of being behind the update desk is when somebody comes out and does a feature that funny. and big papi, one of the things you do is you talk about new products. >> yes. he sponsors a lot of ships. [ laughter ] >> seth: and one of the things he sponsors, well first of all, here you are as big papi. it's a fantastic look. y

i'm al sharpton. we start with five words i thought i'd never say, donald trump presumptive republican nominee. is really happening. and the man currently in the white house says we must take it seriously. >> this is not a reality show. this is a contest for the presidency of the united states. >> on the gop side, party leaders are still trying to come to grips with it. both presidents bush are refusing to support trump. and house speaker paul ryan won't endorse trump either. at least not yet. >> not ready to do that at this point. i'm not there right now. and i hope to, though. and i want to. but i think what is required is that we unify this party. >> but the latest national polling shows trump trailing hillary clinton by double digits. and some republicans worry he could cost them control of congress. even normally solid incumbents like john mccain are feeling the squeeze. he says he'll support whoever the nominee is, even if it's trump. >> i'm a proud republican. i am a ronald reagan/teddy rooseve

, i'm al sharpton. we start this morning with a candidate who sparked a lot of controversy, critics say he's hijacked the party for his own ends. they question why he hasn't released tax returns yet and say he's too extreme to win. it's note donald trump, this candidate is bernie sanders. he's galvanized millions of young people and progressives. in the process, he's leveled harsh attacks on hillary clinton and now democratic leaders. >> let me also say a word to the leadership of the democraticic party -- it can do the right thing and open its doors, the other option for the democratic party which i see is a very sad and tragic option is to choose to maintain its status quo structure, remain dependent on big money, campaign contributions -- >> sanders says he'll fight all the way to the convention, triggering fears in the party that he'll damage clinton. one person cheering him on, donald trump. >> she's going to win because the system is it so rigged. even though bernie wins, wins, got inno superdeleg

al sharpton i think was here tonight. is a hillaryd al supporter.ou do not put a relaxer in your hair for 40 years and not feel the bern. it is impossible is what i am saying. next to alsitting sharpton, it is ok to feel the bern. we cleared it. promised to put harriet tubman on the $10 bill but now we have to wait until 2034 the $20 bill. yeah. women have not been this d.c. by a bill since cosby. [boos] a: oh, like i did it. ben carson praised andrew jackson saying he was a tremendous president. from the grave, jackson said, what did that jigaboo say? that is what he said. that is what he said. i am just reporting. i'm just reporting, mr. president. aboo"?rry say "jig i did. i honestly did. 2016 has been eight b.

he addressed the controversy with msnbc's own reverend al sharpton. >> when i think about the hundredsdreds of years of a particular word being used against us to take away our identity and now to turn that around on its head, something that's normally done in private, i acknowledge, and to make it public i thought was a statement. >> would you do it again? would you use that word in that setting again? >> that's heart when you're talking about artistic choices what you would have done differently. some people pointed out you could have said my brother. sure, i could have said that, it would have been a different moment, absolutely. >> and al sharpton joins me now. first of all, congratulations, rev, on getting that interview. >> thank you. >> did that answer sufficiently address your concerns about the skit that larry wilmore did at the white house? >> no, and i was very candid with him. we had a respectful conversation but i think it was very candid. that i didn't see any way to justify that. i think that when you look at the fact that whether you want to spell the "n" word with an "

reverend al sharpton, thank you very much. >> let's do it, baby. >> robert costa, thank you., donald! >> you boys, stop it. still ahead on "morning joe" -- you need to stop -- the promise of populism. goading. why the hope of returning power to the people lies with a millionaire and a billionaire. >>> plus, tom brokaw joins the conversation, next on "morning joe." trolling for a gig with braindrone? can't blame you. it's a drone you control with your brain, which controls your thumbs, which control this joystick. no, i'm actually over at the ge booth. we're creating the operating it's called predix. it's gonna change the way the world works. ok, i'm telling my brain to tell the drone to get you a copy of my resume. umm, maybe keep your hands on the controller. look out!! ohhhhhhhhhh... you know what, i'm just gonna email it to you. yeah that's probably safer. ok, cool. the call just came in. she's about to arrive. and with her, a flood of potential patients. a deluge of digital records. x-raysysmris. all on account...of penelope. but with the help of at&t, and a network that

caller: my question is, are you going to go after al sharpton?e talked about donald trump and his problems. i wondered if we could discuss al sharpton in his problems with the irs. guest: whoever is not obeying by the law or they are running for office and being open and honest about their own tax returns ought to be treated the same way. if al sharpton runs for office, he ought to disclose his tax returns just the way everyone who has run for president in recent years has disclosed their tax returns, including hillary clinton, by the way, disclosed for the last 20 years. sooner or later, the demands for mr. trump will be such that he will have to do what every other candidate has done. i don't know what the al sharpton situation is, but if he runs for president, he must disclose his tax returns. host: how difficult is it to up a shell corporation? guest: $100, a couple of hundred dollars. host: is that it? guest: i don't know what the current cost is. down in the tax havens, you can do it for a couple of hundred dollars. cost a little more if yo

al sharpton, i think was here tonight. you know, i'm surprised al is a hillary supporter.er in your hair for 40 years and not feel the bern. that just doesn't happen. it's impossible. is what i'm saying, right? if you're sitting next to al sharpton, feel free to feel the perm, it's okay, we cleared it. it's all right. lots of big news this year, the treasury promised to put harriet tubman's face on the 10-dollar bill, but now we have to wait until 2030 for the face to be on the bill, man, like women have not been deceived by a bill since bill cosby. oh, like i did it. he praised jackson saying he was a tremendous president. from the grave, andrew replied, what did that jigaboo say? that is what he said. that is what he said. i'm just the reporter, you guys. i'm just the reporter, i'm the reporter, mr. president. did larry say jigaboo, on president obama's last -- i did, i actually did. but 2016 has been a beast, though, we lost david bowie, merle haggard, prince. biggest thing this year, though, has been the presidential election. now he is manning the pottery booth at the

and i put him in -- i lump him in a category with al sharpton because cornel west is always trotted out by the mainstream media when we need, quote, black spokespeople. and, you know, when i was growing up, my parents never gave me a memo that i had to have black people speak on my behalf, because my parents grew up during the segregated south, and they were called the n-word, my parents had to sit in the back of the bus in richmond, virginia. so they always taught me to peek for myself as a -- to speak for myself as a black woman. so i take great offense between, you know, when the media wants to reduce black people to voices in a collective box that have to be relegated to spokespeople. peter, you don't have a white spokesperson that speaks on your behalf, do you? maybe you do and i don't know about it, but i think i missed that memo. so when you look at cornel west, he's making a lot of money writing books about what black people should think and do and how he's the voice of black people. he teaches this stuff at princeton. allen west, on the other hand, is telling people speak for y

don't count on black lives matter or al sharpton or jesse jackson or even president obama. they haven't shown up. they don't seem to care. and that's the memo. joining us now from washington to react, kirsten powers. and you say? >> well, i think you are right that definitely we have a problem in the media, i would say, in particular where people don't take it as seriously when a young african-american child, for example, is shot versus a young white american, particularly if they are blonde haired, blue eyed child is often is treated as a national crisis where we don't hear about what's happening in these neighborhoods. i think you are right about that i don't think it's true though that people don't care about this or that they aren't trying to solve the problem. it's not right to say rahm emanuel isn't aware or doesn't care about this problem. >> give me one thing the narrow mayor of chicago has done to solve the problem. >> he hasn't solved the problem. >> give me one thing he has tried. >> i don't know his specific. >> he hasn't done anything. kirsten, i know. i know.

if you're sitting next to al sharpton, feel free to feel the perm.s okay, we've cleared it, it's all right. lots of big news this year. the treasury promised to put harriet tubman's face on the $10 bill. now we have to wait till 2030 for the $20 bill. women haven't been this deceived by a bill since cosby. oh, like i did it. ben carson was also against harry tubman replacing andrew jackson on the $20 bill. he praised jackson saying he was a tremendous president. from the grave andrew jackson replied, what did that jigaboo say? that's what he said, that's what he said. i'm just the reporter, you guys. i'm just the reporter. i'm the reporter, mr. president. yeah. did larry wilmore say jigaboo on obama's last -- i did, i honestly did. but 2016 has been a beast though, man. we lost david bowie, merle haggard, prince. or as hillary clinton calls it, my favorite singer, my favorite singer, my favorite singer. no? okay. biggest thing this year though has been the presidential election. lincoln chafee ran an admiral challenge pain. now he's back to doing wha

i am reminded of this exchange with al sharpton who condemned officer darren wilson and when the doj him, refused to come toit. watch this. >> let make take it back to ferguson missouri and the case against darren wilson. they said there was no evidence to disprove he was in fear for his life. >> if the doj said that, that is contrary what eyewitnesss saw. so if i say what i believe to be the case based on several witnesses i should apologize for it? >> this is your opportunity to say that stuff i said about him not being in fear for his life, that was wrong. >> no. i can say the doj said it was wrong. >> so he won't take responsibility. >> well, he never does. this is a guy that defended part of the hoax in which complexly innocent white detective, or police officer was charged with terrible crimes against this young woman. it was a complete hoax. he knew it. then, he got sued, he said sue me. he got sued and apparently he never paid the fine or whatever he was supposed to do. he's got a long history of this. the fact he's sort of unofficial spokesman for african americans, under th

i'm al sharpton. donald trump wants gop leaders to take him seriously. but he spent days dealing with other issues like hateful talk from a former butler, claims about phony calls to reporters back in the '90s, and his own admission that he doesn't have policies, just, quote, suggestions. gop leaders dote want to deal with any of that. speaker paul ryan made it clear what they do want after meeting with trump this week. >> what is it that we need to do to unify the republican party? we are now planting the seeds to get ourselves unified, a process on how we unify. unifying the republican party is very important that we don't fake unifying, we don't pretend unification, that we truly and actually unify. i don't want us to have a fake unification. what it takes to unify, unite all of us. a unified republican party. can we unify? how do we unify at all? can we unify? >> okay, we get it. they want unity. ryan hasn't endorsed trump yet, but trump says he's willing to wait. >> i thought it was a great meeting. we had -- we discussed a lot of things, a lot of v

. >> last spring, everyone was so sure, al sharpton and his gang of friend, that this whole pack of police should be brought to the highest extent of the law. they weren't telling the protesters to back down and look at the dan that was done to that beautiful city last spring. it's a lesson to the political left. the law will play itself out. look at all the damage that was done politically and infrastructurewise in baltimore. the mayor not telling the police to stop it. this is a lesson for everyone to learn from. charles: attorneys for nero asked the prosecution to drop the rest of the charges saying they were baseless to begin with. any chance of that happening? >> there is no chance of that happening. the prosecution will go all the way through with all of these cases. i believe they overcharged. it was clearly that. when you have six officers, all their cases except two are separated. it will be almost impossible to get a convict. i don't see it on this case. i believe someone should be held accountable for what happened, but to charge them with murder, it's just too much. >> baltimor

even al sharpton is not real happy with him.written his, too. obama's were good. >> don lemon from cnn who i personally admire, gave the finger to larry wilmer last night on camera. all of his jokes are aimed at other people. i've never seen this. many years of watching these dinners and going, obama is the only one who is not self-deputy ri -- you watch bush and clinton. obama does not ever really joke about himself. >> a couple times he joked about his age and how many he aged during the presidency. that's typical of every president to your point. >> or every middle-aged man. >> bill clinton said in eight years i have given you 20 years of material to work with. >> can you imagine obama saying that? >> go to our facebook page and weigh in. >> get on social media. a lot of news anchors were there last night and looked like they had a great time. >>> ten minutes after the hour. other stories making headlines starting with a fox news alert. crews are on the scene of a train derailment in d.c. hazardous materials spilling out of o
