sharpton: i think he is right.n you look at the fact that many of those that were in this hate rally had on trump cap's, saying "make america great," it was incumbent upon this president and not only to announce it immediately, but also say, "don't use my name, don't identify me with this." i remember when bob dole told hate groups, "i don't want your support." the exit sign is for you. this president, during the campaign, would not announce david duke for days, acting like he didn't hear the question. them on.ver taken it took 48 hours after a young lady was killed for him to denounce these people that engaged in terrorism by name. merckounced the ceo of for leaving the economic council in less than an hour. hours, and a young american woman is dead by a self-described white supremacist -- it is frightening to many americans, and an awakening call to others. many of us have been saying all along the hate hasn't gone anywhere, it just moved to the margins. it has now been involved in. -- emboldened. charlie: americ

reverend al sharpton marched on the justice department stopping along the way to protest at the trump hotel. >> what do we want? when do we want it? when do we want it? without further ado, let us hear from our first speaker for the rally in front of the justice department, let us hear now from jay david cox, sr., the national president of afge. >> no justice! no justice! brothers and sisters i come to you today from the american federation of government employees, the people that says government is good and government should stand for all of its citizens in an equal mannerism and brothers and sisters i come to you today with love, love. it's time that we bring back love to this country. you know, let's stop and let's think. hatred of the stranger, people who are different, people who come from somewhere else, that speak another language, eat different food, hatred of the unfamiliar is as old as human kind. the bible is the oldest documents that challenges hatred. the old testament to treat the stranger as a native, because our ancestors knew what slavery was all about. and in matthew

reverend al sharpton host of "politics nation" and president of the national action network. as kelly points out, there was a lot of pressure on this president in and out of his party. what do you make of what he said? was it enough? was it a step in the right direction? i thi >> i think it was grossly inat quality. first of all, it took 48 hours. we had the head of state of germany speak before we had the president of this country. and he never really talked about the fact that these groups in their very existence does not stand for the standards and values that this country is supposed to represent. he did not say, as we have seen in the past republican presidential candidates, like bob dole, say, "i do not want these groups' support. i will not in any way appreciate the fact that some of them had trump caps on their head at these rallies. make america great. don't wear my paraphernalia. i'm not with this." it was clearly a statement based on the pressure that he had been given over the weekend. and if it takes a weekend to get the president of the united states to denounce

wait until we show you what al sharpton is saying tonight.hat we're seeing play out here in the aftermath of charlottesville in the media with the democrats, they are politicizing a terrible horrible incident by evil people. yes, white supremacists are evi evil. they have completely ignored the facts and they are trying to politically bludgeon president trump, conservatives and republicans, and painted them unfairly as racists and bigots. here's what they won't tell you. democrats as i pointed out in great detail last night have a very disturbing history when it does come to race. it was a southern democrats who voted against the 1964 civil rights act and the 1965 civil rights act including the person bill clinton has praised many times as his mentor, jay william fulbright. hillary clinton's full mentor,t byrd, al gore's father. he voted against the civil rights act. republicans are the party of lincoln. democrats have been the party of slavery and segregation. we've also ignored how president obama had a stoked racial division, he rushed to

>> good morning, reverend sharpton. thanks for having me on.t's -- i think it's really important to understand that the motivation behind the alt-right groups is to present themselves as if they speak for all white people. their other intention is to terrify people. so as reverend nixon mentioned earlier, we have to be very aware that this cultivation of fear is our opponents' intention. and if we are aware of our opponents' intention, we're going to be better positioned to fend them off. and to divert other people from joining those groups. the white supremacist ideology, like all violent extremist ideologies, is based in a sense of oppression. and is as ridiculous as it may sound, especially to people like yourself and others who have been involved in civil rights struggles for so long, the idea of white people being oppressed is the bread and butter of the alt-right. and if we allow them to speak for all white people, and if we, as a society, especially if we as progressives allow ourselves to see the alt-right in all white people, then thei

sharpton says because he was a slave order and outside of the purview of mayor bowser but she gave her thought on the idea today. >> that's the first i heard that. i don't think i would support that. and if we don't fun the jefferson memorial it will sink into the git if we're talking about we have long on judiciary square that we think the federal government can remove immediately. >> interestingly enough this conversation is exactly where the president predict today would go. during his controversial press conference earlier this week he asked if george washington and thomas jefferson statues were next. >> loudoun county sheriff office is investigating vandalism found on confederate statue in leesburg. someone spray painted vulgar language on a statue. the debate came to a head last fwheek charlottesville. we spoke to a man that believes the statues should stay put. >> i think it's disrespectful. i think -- i don't think -- >> it's a public place. i think it has a right to be out. there i mean as far as $it's history. all history history and it's going to be history. it's a reminder

. >>> activist reverend al sharpton is headed to the district to honor the memory of dr.artin luther king, jr. sharpton and a thousand religious leaders will march from the mlk memorial to the department much justice. it' washington 54 years ago today. organizers of the event aree nighting to represent the inclusive future of the country. >>> setting out on a 100-mile march from charlottesville to d.c. to fight hate. organizers are calling it the march to confront white supremacy. the women's march and afl-cio are just two of the groups who will take part. they plan to march 17 miles per day and stay overnight in churches. the march will end here in d.c. on september 6th. >>> that march is a result of the deadly protests in charlottesville earlier this month. city leaders held a town hall meeting to talk about the violence yesterday. many in the crowd asked why the rally, which included white nationalists and neo-nazis was allowed to happen. they also wanted to know why police didn't stop more of the fighting. >>> it is 5:48. today you'll have another choice for your comm

there is the reverend al sharpton who is calling for the jefferson memorial to be defunded. >> when yout that public monuments are supported by public funds, you're asking me to subsidize the insult of my family. i would repeat that the public should not be paying to uphold somebody who has had that kind of background. >> sean: here now with reaction, is a geraldo rivera, former trump transition team committee member and he's also on the committee of diversity the reverend darrell scott. we're the two sinners, we have to go to the reverent first. he prays for me every sunday. he's got to pray for you too. the two of us together because we're best friends, reverent i look at those covers, i hear assassination attempts and there were many times in the obama years and i have all the tape to prove it, we must protect our president come up most. elected officials. this transcends all politics. it is getting worse every day. >> it's absolutely ridiculous and despicable what that lady said. she had no business calling for the assassination of the president and she supposed to be a public figur

joining us the reverend al sharpton one of the organizers today. to you reverend. i want to ask you first of all this was planned well advance of charlottesville. original plan for this march was what? >> the original plan was to raise the issues that dr. king raised 54 years ago today. voting rights, criminals justice reform, poverty, jobs and as well the question of criminal justice reform. but it has expanded now that we stay within that dream and the realization of the dream but has a new meaning because of recent events. charlottesville and all the way to seeing just a day and a half ago the president of the united states pardoning someone who was convicted of racial profiling in arizona sheriff joe apaieo we have real concerns that we are seeing real challenges to the realization of dr. king's dream. so many rabbis, priests, ministers of all faith, muslim imans well gather here at 10:00 o'clock and rally at 11:0s martin luther king iii is already in town. he'll be speaking among when you see people 54 years after king's dream marching through

al sharpton said he would like a federal funding for the jefferson memorial. the jefferson memorial is funded by federal dollars. it's outside the authority of the d.c. mayor. we asked for her thoughts who. that's the first i've heard that . i don't think that i would support that and if we don't fund the jefferson memorial it will sing into the tidal basin. so i do think have to have, if we're starting to talk about the monuments, the memorials and the monumental mol conversation. we do have confederate statue on federal land near judiciary square that we think the federal government can remove immediately. if you thought you had already heard all the worst takes and the debate over confederate statues, maine's governor would like you to healed who beer. in a radio interview page compared the removal of confederate monday monuments to the 9/11 memorial in new york city. first of all they should study the history. they don't even know the history of h country and they're trying to take monuments down. listen, whether we like it or not, this is what our history

and he saw bill o'reilly, and he made this joke -- if i can bring o'reilly and sharpton together, iust be doing something right. the concern i have is a lot of these programs that are designed to help black men are still based on this chokehold stereotype that we are thugs and criminals. so these programs are designed to tame the savage beast. a lot the folks who work in them are well-intentioned, and there are some programs that are very effective. african-american men, we have this intersectional identity. we are black and we are male. so we absolutely need programs and initiatives that respond to all of those aspects of our identity. these strangeout bedfellows that these black male achievement programs. also in the audience was mike bloomberg, the mayor of new york city, who at this time was a cheerleader for the stop and frisk program that a federal judge later ruled was unconstitutional. the concern was that black and latino men were disproportionately being targeted. bloomberg actually made a speech where he said, i don't think there are enough black men being stopped, i thin

we first asked about a call made by reverend al sharpton top stop federal funding to jefferson memorial because jeff sop was a slave owner. now, mayor bowser said that was really the first time she heard of something like that and said at this time she doesn't think she would support that and i also asked her a follow up about something we're seeing happening rights now as debate and dialogue continues with the confederate status. mayor deblaseo said he'll have a 90 day review of symbols of hate in new york. i asked the mayor does she plan to do something here in the district. take a listen. >> we can certainly -- i don't think we're in that position. we've already kind of reviewed the confederate statues and we know of the one. we don't have any on city l land. we have the one on the national park service land. >> and so a lot of people are now stepping back as this continued -- conversation continues and they're asking where will this stop. president pointed that out in his defense of keeping confederate statutes where they are and oui took to streets for pulse of people to ask you wh

al sharpton on the charlie rose show said that the jefferson memorial should come down, it is offenseoney shouldn't be spent to maintain it. what donald trump said, it is not some hypothetical or rhetorical statement. it is being affirmed by people on the left and again i point to al sharpton, who is one of the heroes of the left. he already said let's get rid of the jefferson memorial, jefferson not only was a slave owner, but he had sexual relationships with slaves and children with slaves. so i mean if we're going to be consistent, then i don't know what monument we have left. i think pretty much all of mount rushmore goes down, quite frankly this, is not easily known, abraham lincoln in his writings said things that were pretty doggone racist. where do we stop? we don't. david: finally most troubling thing donald trump said that does seem to be hard to defend. the president said there were fine people, fine people, on both sides of the debate. now i went back and read the news articles of event preceding the march itself and i saw a lot of kkk, i saw a lot of white supremacists. i

reverend al sharpton says this march today takes on even new meaning since the tragic events in charlottesville two weeks ago. and at the front of the line is jesse jackson. we caught up with him calling out president trump and white nationalists. take a listen. >> this is a revolution, period. and america must show acts of resistance. ryan: and back live. as you can see this crowd has started moving. they are making their way down to the department of justice and pennsylvania avenue where there will be another rally starting at 1:00. live on the national mall, ryan hughes, abc 7 news. melanie: ryan, thanks. well, long anticipated projects finally under way. we're going to take you to the groundbreaking ceremony for the purple line. straight ahead. and all eyes on harvey. the unprecedented system wreaking havoc in houston as emergency crews scramble to save lives. we will get an update from texas after eric: it will be a pretty quiet midday. an incident on 395 southbound at exit 9-a. boundary channel drive. you can see the right shoulder is partially blocked. a bit of a mernled ramp is block. c

the joke if i can bring and sharpton together, i must be doing something right.hat a lot of s these programs designed to help basing this still choke hold stereotype that we're criminals and so these programs are designed to tame savage beast. absolutely need programs to initiatives that respond of our hose aspects identity. bloomburg said i don't think are being k men stopped. so we have to ask if he's there brother's keeper initiative, what does he think program?urpose of this i think it's well intentioned and there's absolutely nothing ing black men p graduate from high school and giving them job training but these programs send the message. misunderstands the force of supremacy, white privile privilege. have ithink white women okay or better, you don't get the problem. black women have the same set of black men and that's because of white supremacy. need to se black boys pants.p their >> so this was when i was a department ith the of justice. it was the early 1990s, and hi case in high profile the department. i was the junior lawyer on a that was prosecuting

your point of view, i wouldn't want to see something that offended me every day, if there was an al sharptononument, marion berry monument, i wouldn't like it. if you are are offended by the mounuments i understand that. >> it's not that i'm offended, it's an offense to the united states of america to honor war criminals. honor those who were traitors. >> tucker: that's the standard. they were traitors of our country, they started their own country. >> the combination, there's no country on the planet no, society, that would honor those. people with credentials like that. >> tucker: except ours, it was a civil war. i agree with your definition. they were traitors to america. then they came back into america. they reintegrated to america. and then it came back, thank god they did. but it was a civil war, it wasn't like we were invaded. it's more complicated. here's the question. does your view of this apply to all slave holders or just civil war figures? >> it's not just civil war figures. but civil wor confederate heros and leaders are not to be honored in any shape, manner or form as a soci

we had al sharpton saying the jefferson memorial should be torn down. >> it's that and the judeo-christiann history has done more to stand up for religious liberty than president trump. i think it's all of these things they are attacking and that's why we can't allow it to happen. david: we talked earlier about whether we reached that point where the american people say it's absurd. when you accuse ben carson of being a white supremacist, when you accuse anybody who supports donald trump as being a racist. haven't you reached that point that mccarthy reached in the late 50s when people said enough? >> i would think so. remember, nothing motivates like [inaudible] don't apologize for his handling of charlottesville. he did just fine. and start concentrating on the things that got him elected. one of the reasons evangelicals turned out for president trump is not just this comments stont judiciary, but also a thriving economy, and i think he will have the support he needs. david: pastor jeffress, thank you very much. fans of the show are loving "putin's gambit," the spy thriller written by lo
