but sometimes in life it's good to have reverend sharpton come along and look at it describe it in his own unique way as he did this afternoon. >> the frightening thing is he's sitting there with the president of south korea there. we're under a real questionable threat with north korea, and he's tweeting lies about mika? we're dealing with a health care bill, we're told by the cbo 22 million can lose their health care, and he's fighting with mika and joe? that's what's frightening. >> james, the man makes a lot of sense right there. and how long until what reverend al just expressed becomes kind of a mainstream belief or criticism or does it? >> look, we have a lot of people trying to interpret what is the true mental state of donald trump or what game is he playing. look, i don't know what's going on with his head. what i do know are his actions and what he's tweeting about. what he seems focused about is this feud with the morning joe host than more on the situation with north korea to make al sharpton's point or more is he is on the health care bill. kellyanne conway talked about h

. >> reverend sharpton, always great to be with you and your viewers. >> the democratic party had a bigre they're making an appeal more toward the populous voters. what is the target of that because there are some in the base that say does that mean they're abandoning us. >> let me answer your second question first and the answer to that is heck no. you and i talked every first friday of the month when i was labor secretary, we talked about jobs and we talked about justice. that's what the democratic party has always stood for, jobs and justice. too many people are taking it on the chin, this he haven't had a meaningful raise in years, they're looking for retirement security, they're looking for a government that's looking out for them and that's what barack obama did, that's what the democratic party does and what our better deal is all about is making sure we're fighting for good jobs, for good pay, for better futures and for opportunity in every zip code. that's what i've always been about, that's what you've always been about and that's what the democratic party has always been abou

so they expect civil rights guys like al sharpton to say this but you were a federal prosecutor and you'reing that did not give you a pass at all and this is a way of life for blacks. how do you make people that are white and never lived under that existence that are not anti-black, not the bigots at all. they just don't get it. how do you make them understand that problem? >> you break it down. you tell them the truth. a white woman has a much better threat of being a victim of violence from a white person, especially a white man, a one in five chance of being raped by a white person. less than one in 500 chance of a victim of a violent crime by an african-american. folks are scared of us, reverend. we he make people anxious. in "chokehold" there's a physical reaction white folks have when they he see an unfamiliar black male face. people, it's not about racism, it's about not understanding us. another fact i talk about in had the book most white people have one black friend. if the only exposure you have is seeing us on the daily news, no wonder you're scared of us. >> now, you know, one

. >> al sharpton is not beefing with jay-z.

people like al sharpton or jesse jackson, they do not want that.re doing -- they are using the phony idea of racism in order to keep the people angry and keep them divided. over the last 50 years, the democrats have pretty much been in control and they haven't done anything good for the country. they have nothing to offer. they have nothing to stand on. so they are desperate, they are angry. they are desperate and what they are trying to do, tucker, they are really going after the president. and his supporters. if they can turn the president's supporters away from him, they can destroy the president. they are using phony ideas, racism doesn't exist. it has never existed and it has always been a lie. our issues in life is good or bad. right or wrong. good versus evil. it has nothing to do with color at all. they know that. >> tucker: let's say you are running a city, your party ran at for 100 years. he got high crime and very few job opportunities. and you said don't be mad at me, be mad at that confederate monument or pick some symbolic issue, to m

we want to support her family, and the national action network that my daughter ashley sharpton and groupe family of that police officer of $5,000. but one of the things that i really had to think about a lot this week was the power of selfies. i took note when representative clay higgins got in a controversy because he did a selfie video at auschwitz as he was narrating his own review of what had happened during the or riffic holocaust, and many attacked him for it. it brought to mind that there was a lot of reaction that on father's day at 5:00 in the morning i took a selfie of me before i went to do my workout that day and then come to the studio and do politics nation. came pretty much close to -- it was viral. a lot of reaction, pro and con. one person put my selfie on their birthday cake. but let's get past your opinion of the congressman or me, the power of selfie to me is here. so the question is, what do you with a selfie. my question is what you're doing with yourself. if i'm showing i want to stay fit even though i have a full day schedule, i'm not ashamed of that. the question

. >> reverend sharpton, i just want to thank you for challenging the ministers because it's going toand it's certainly going to take the faith leaders to come outside of their churches. i've been outside of my church and i need to get outside even more. when we look back at the accomplishments of the civil rights movement in the '60s, ministers played an integral and pivotal role. martin luther king jr. was a minister, shuttles worth was a minister, joe lowery, these were ministers. we must use the voice that we had to kind of duplicate what they did back in the '60s. they pressured presidents to enforce equality and that's the only way we got things done when we pressured them. so we will be meeting you in washington and we are excited that we are bringing some moral voices back, putting them in the right place, because restorative justice is putting the power back or restoring power back to the just. >> i'm going to have to leave it there and, charlene carruthers is not a minister, but she's doing the lord's work. thank you, charlene. >> she's doing great work. >> thank you, revere

real reaganite republican and said, i will take the flak if there is some and getting praise by al sharpton is going to get him more flak, i respect somebody who believes in what they stand for. obviously i think it was good for america. but i think it was a defining moment for him because had he cowered and went the other way, then i think a lot of people would have felt that john mccain really doesn't believe in what he's always tried to say. >> his lowest moment politically was kind of getting behind trump who went after him so aggressively during the campaign with a view toward his own re-election. this is about restoring honor and his sense of himself, who puts prudence before a party vote. >> he didn't vote for donald trump. he wrote in his friend, lindsey graham. pressure from the administration and despite it all, two republican women stood firm. you doyou'll see whatet but in you're really made of. after five hours of spinning and one unfortunate ride on the gravitron, your grandkids spot a 6 foot banana that you need to win. in that moment, you'll be happy you partnered with a hum
