reverend al sharpton, profit. a big hand for reverend al sharpton.se] i arrived as a student, fresh out of jail in greensboro, north carolina. i gathered with thousands to make a plea for our nation to and legal jim crowe laws under which thousands of blacks were lynched without a single indictment. i marched and i was paralyzed with fear. dc was under military cap patient that day, because of unfounded fears about the march. i saw a military presence at train stations, bus stations, airports. all d.c. was fully mobilized that day. there was a broad-based coalition of organizations the pooled their efforts into one gigantic movement. medgar evers had been killed. we could use a single restroom. we could not buy ice cream in the front of howard johnson's. we did not have the right to use the toilet in a public square. we could not rent a room at the holiday inn. we came in cars, stopping by churches for food and shelter. in virginia. there was a lot that we didn't have but one thing that we did have was a surplus of courage, and we were awake. we had

what is al sharpton doing to help them? that's what i want to know. what has he done. >> what is the national action network doing. >> trying to get his face on tv. >> i think you know, it's interesting to watch you guys. you are so back on your heels on this empathy issue because... (all talking at once) >> any president's measure by... >> that's a manufactured... >> i'm on my high heels. >> if you recall... >> did you want him to go into people's houses and cry. climb trees and rescue kittens. (all talking at once) >> heres the thing, kennedy. if you tweet epic devastation, i was out there. i went to the front lines. and people know he did not go to the front lines. >> as he is standing there holding up a texas flag in the state. >> trying to exploit something simply saying that was a failure in terms of leadership at a critical moment. it doesn't measure up to what other presidents did 9/11... >> can i just... >> go ahead, greg. >> this is yesterday but president trump's role in this is not that important because what you are seeing is a monumental

, the house sharpton erosion. why are you writing me letters like that, calling out my name like that. one thing i did say was look, i reparations is a morally defensible position. it is not going to happen. many americans can't see it. what you think is going to happen with reparations? it doesn't mean it is not right. kaepernick doesn't have a job. he deserves one but doesn't have one. so my thing is just because we can't get a political prescription, individual right brothers -- what i call individual preparation of accounts. basically like helping out where you see help, i have been written by white people who said i read that chapter, he is right, i took 20 computers in our office that were not being used, we fixed them up and took them to local schools and their eyes lit up. i talk about things like that, individual things white people can do. what is gratifying to me is people get arrested on behalf of us. i like that. >> thank you very much. >> you know what i am saying? keep getting arrested, let us the e

i have the reverend al sharpton making his debut on "the beat." and the humanitarian crisis in puerto rico. the mayor with an emotional wake-up call. >> if anybody out there is listening to us, we are dying. we are going to see something close to a genocide. >> i am going to speak to someone that that. bob mueller's russia inquiry. we have a lot more to cover. what is that? it's you! it's me? alright emma, i know it's not your favorite but it's time for your medicine, okay? you ready? one, two, three. [ both ] ♪ emma, emma bo-bemma ♪ banana-fana-fo-femma ♪ fee-fi-fo-femma ♪ em-ma very good sweety, how do you feel? good. yeah? you did a really good job, okay?

to reverend sharpton's point, that's a very washington point of view about points scored and who is up and who is down. the idea of letting it blow up would leave a lot of people impacted. does he want to do that? and so this moment, this idea where he seemed to be trying to shift from the first few months of his presidency and it's very uncertain whether he can make it last, presents the ultimate test because there is something in the middle to be done. not satisfying to conservatives like rand paul who say we have to get rid of it altogether. not satisfying to the bernie sanders medicare for all crowd but it would provide stability and certainty and make at least a number of lives better, even if it didn't accomplish what the ideologues on both sides would like to accomplish. here's a test for donald trump. is that what he wants to do? >> you know donald trump. you know what makes him mad and you know what makes him glad. he loves the good press that he got. the little bump in his approval rating he got after being seen as someone who could work with chuck schumer and nancy pelosi. g

sharpton was always a force in the end. he deserves some credit.he safest large city in america? what happened and what lesson can cities like chicago take from what you did. >> one of the things i always thought is the geography of new york keeps it basically together. it doesn't spread out so far. that's true. staten island and queens. we depend on each other. we talk together. we take mass transit together. we go to stores together. the diversions that other people see we don't really see. 40% of all the people that live in new york city were born outside of the united states. that's been true for many years. >> steve, it's a good time on this tenth anniversary to assess where the economy is. that's your specialty. when we started the show, we were a year away from the meltdown of 2008. here we are with a president donald trump coming up on the fall of 2017. how much is the economy, how much responsibility does donald trump have for it, how much does barack obama have. >> the economy continues to do more or less what it did under barack obama. g

sharpton's lawyer has not commented but al sharpton has.the way they say it did, but he could not speak for his daughter. ( marty @ landing ) consumer watch=dog groups are warning everyone to pay attention to the massive data breach impactnig the credit reporting company equifax. the breach exposed personal and sensitive financial information of over 143 million americans. kron4's gabe slate explains what you need to sound from erica sandberg / personal finance expert personal finance expert erica sandberg says this breach has the potential to haunt us for years to come. because for the unlucky among us in this breach the type of information exposed gives the bad guys all the ingrediants they need for identity theft. sound from erica sandberg / personal finance expert typically the way people find out if their identity has been stolen is they get a new bill in the mail for a credit card or loan they did not ask for. so watch out for that another thing you can do is check your credit report twice a year you get one free check with annual cre

we will hear from martin luther reverend jesse jackson and reverend sharpton on race, recent violence in charlottesville and the trump administration.

sharpton talked about his legal right. what can and does mr. sharpton in this case?he hypocrisy here. all sharpton accuses the white house of trying to intimidate espn. he's actually issued a threat to espn, private organization about what they should do and what he will do if they don't do as he wishes. tranter is that a threat? >> it's called a public threat. it's actually ignorance. you've got a committed leftist in jamele, who did exactly what she wanted on company time. the only decider here come the espn management. they watch their network lose. they are in financial trouble. that's bigger problems. >> i used to watch espn religiously. i don't even turn it on anymore. >> you inject all of the other cultures. the nba did this during the obama years. all the agendas for broadband. they want to watch the game. they want to hear the analysis. so why would she want to escape? by the way, with no evidence goes out and write. you are thinking that i'm to do this. when there is not a clear piece of evidence in existence. tranter you are a public figure. everything you

"mtp daily" standards right now.huck todd. >> i call it my wednesday. >> that's right. sorry. >> see you sunday, then. >>> if it's friday, are we seeing a temporary blip or the start of something truly different for president trump? tonight, president trump tries to take back control of his presidency. dealing with democrats and voicing frustration with republicans. >> if they're unable to stick together, then i'm going to have to get a little help from the democrats, and i've got that. >> but he's still serving up red meat on twitter. is that enough to satisfy his hungry base? >>> finally, my firsthand look at the utter devastation in the u.s. virgin islands. and m

they have taken off the hoods, as al sharpton used to say, you can see their faces and they're declaringmselves in their intentions and what their beliefs are. so that means we have to say to everybody, everybody has to come in now at the public and private level. everybody has to gauengage to m sure we end the racism in our society, that who built this country, the american indians, the first slaves, african-americans, mexicans, japanese, people from india that built the infrastructure of the united states. but if we don't get that into our school books then children of color will never have the dignity to know that they are citizens of this country. and my kids, you know, they will always think that somehow their people from europe did it all. so i think it's important that we really have to start to insist, we want the true story of the united states, because it's not just about our country, but the whole world. 75% of the people in this world are people of color, not anglos or white. >> when you come back, i want to remember something before i forgive forget it. when you heard that p

al sharpton. but then they go after the tea party. i think this started with noble intentions.fter the kkk. then they morphed into some smear machine. they pay all these salaries and raise all this money. they have this hate map with regular family value conservatives and klansmen. one guy shoots these people up because he looks at the map but palen puts up a map and the media makes her the bad guy. >> greg: it wasn't even a map. juan, your pal is ben carson. you know he's a nice guy. he's been on the list. sort of like moderate muslims trying to reduce the chthonic extremism in their religion. why did they do this? why does splc make it such a blanket statement for everybody? >> juan: i don't know if it's blanket but i think they provide a public service. i think it's one that conservatives are very uptight about because they feel that they are being labeled as hate groups when they have arguments about, for example, family research council about attitudes towards transsexuals or gay whatever. the southern poverty law center says they are hateful views. after charlottesville,

. >> thank you, reverend sharpton. >>> up next, basketball legend kareem abdul-jabbar.s than a year after receiving the presidential medal of freedom, he's voicing his concern about the state of american race relations after the tragedy in charlottesville earlier this month. when i walked through a snowstorm for a cigarette, that's when i knew i had to quit. for real this time. that's why i'm using nicorette. only nicorette gum has patented dual-coated technology for great taste, plus intense craving relief. every great why needs a great how. ♪ to to me he's, well, dad.son pro golfer. so when his joint pain from psoriatic arthritis got really bad, it scared me. and what could that pain mean? joint pain could mean joint damage. enbrel helps relieve joint pain, and helps stop further damage enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. serious sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders and allergic reactions have occurred. tell your doctor if you've been someplace where fungal infections are c

i wouldn't want to see something that offended me every day, if there was an al sharpton monument oneet, a marionberry monument. i wouldn't like it. if you are offended by these monuments, i get that. here is my -- >> is not that i'm offended, it's an offense -- to the united states of america to honor war criminals, to honor those -- they are traitors to our country. >> tucker: they certainly were traitors to our country, they started their own country. >> the combination is -- there is no country on the planet, no society that would honor those. people with credentials like that. >> tucker: except to ours because it was a civil war. i agree with your definition. they were traitors to america but then they came back into america, they reintegrated into america, and then it came back -- absolutely. think they did. it was a civil war. it was unlikely were invaded. it does a little more complicated than that. here is my question. is your view of this apply to all slaveholders or just a civil war figures? >> it is not just civil war figures but civil war confederate heroes, leaders are

donald trump weighing in picking this as a battle which i don't think he shouldn't now we have al sharpton back on her, they're going to face the wrath of the civil rights community. >> attacking somebody in the media is obviously something the president has done time and time again. he clearly enjoys it or feels like -- he's not doing it by accident he clearly believes this does something for him. a lot of people, you know, certainly don't like what she said and a lot of people don't like media organizations who he also goes after. >> he's acting like a citizen rather than the president. we have north korea threatening to nuke us all. we've got a potential terrorist threat in england, and they are spending time at the president podium talking about a personal tweet of a woman on espn. it's not presidential. it's not healing. is it kind of ironic that donald trump the man who's never apologized once in his life is squg for an apologize? >> conservatives, i think, are legitimately concerned about the double standard at espn. you see what happened to shilling and cohen. she's getting a slap

justice department investigation that he inherited this justice department findings this is not al sharpton. this is not activists. he just decides, sessions, well i'm not going to do a consent decree even though the information is. the there. this is why so many people have distrust. >> absolutely. i think it's -- that was really our motivation here. without a consent decree and like you said at the top of the show, just last month the illinois attorney general decided to step in and see if she could force a consent decree a in federal court and brought the mayor to the table. there maybe a consent decree in chicago despite the u.s. justice department's opposition to them. but until then and even once there say consent decree, it seems to us that at least it's our responsibility as journalists and the public to make sure we're holding the city accountable to continue down the road to reform even if there's no federal partner anymore. >> i emphasize, this is law enforcement justice department looking into the matter saying these steps are necessary being resi resisted by local lost in this

i have had a long discussion when you talk about a struggle and reverend sharpton one of the biggest theaters or voices in this country was a difference of him and 50 years ago? he is on network tv making the network salary. and then to have a television show. so i always think a little harder on that. the reverend does good work sometimes. but if you see me of a sudden in uh television show that might change. [laughter] and might decide to do that right. >> sunday morning 8:00. >> so the next question so that the affair said it is unjust radio is talk. so music in general singing a lullaby to a child someplace. so my question is there are no kids in the room right now but those in the '80s were old enough to listen to radio. may be the beginning of the '90s but and we used to be regulated in a way that people could affect them. so we cannot even affect an election. so how do they learn to listen? so they stay woke instead of a sleeper and how they affect the political process? in there are politicians and people would show what the back in the day. so how does that reached down? you

jackson -- alesse sharpton, jesse jackson, everybody, so they closed the bases. those bases had been there last week, it may not have relieved it -- the suffering, but it would have helped. there would have been stuff already there. host: patrick calling from palm beach gardens, florida, a republican. good morning. caller: good morning. i thank you for c-span. i am as incensed by my democrat friends to calls ago who talked about the racist comments, donald trump is not a racist. the island of puerto rico is an island, that seems to be the thing people are not comprehending. i live in south florida and have been through hurricanes. trees fall across roads and road star damage. you cannot get to it. it is not a matter of just racing down to some part of the united states, the continental united states, it is a matter of logistics and a matter of geography. i am sick and tired of democrats trying to politicize this. playing the race card. it is crazy. i have been to puerto rico and i love puerto rico, it is a wonderful island and extremely friendly. extremely patrio

now we have al sharpton saying if espn pushes back on her, they're going to face the wrath of the civilhts community. i don't think this is a battle that the president wants to have. >> attacking somebody in the media is obviously something the president has done time and time again. he clearly enjoys it or feels like -- he's not doing it by accident he clearly believes this does something for him. a lot of people, you know, certainly don't like what she said and a lot of people don't like media organizations who he also goes after. >> he's actually -- just to the point from before, he's acting like a citizen rather than the president. we have north korea threatening to nuke us all. we've got a potential terrorist act or a threat in england, and they are spending time at the president podium talking about a personal tweet of a woman on espn. it just is not presidential. it's not healing. does anybody else -- is it kind of ironic that donald trump the man who's never apologized once in his life is demanding an apology? it's like asking to see someone's tax return. it's wrong. >> conserva

rule of law and border security, trump was cutting checks to people like pelosi, schumer and al sharptonat trump is proving is you can go home again. >> let me say this, there's also another very wise man which the name of ronald regan who once said, you do a deal with people that agree with you on certain issues and sometimes that might be people that aren't necessarily with you on election day. that was ronald regan who talked about bipartisanship. when you have 67% of conservatives who say that they have no problem with having something done on daca as long as border security comes with it, you're not laying down with a dog getting fleas, steve. i mean, this is -- take donald trump's name out of it for a second. this is an issue that a lot of conservatives have compassion on and do want there to be a final say so on this. instead of it being open ended and having this let's kick the can down the road. a lot of people that voted for donald trump voted for him because they thought, final bely, this is someone that can get something done. if you can't get it done -- >> that's not why the

political analyst jonathan la mere, former communications director jen palmieri and the reverend al sharpton and president of the national action network. i want to let the others ask you questions as well. but i want to -- i have one more for you. is there anything about the president talking about his own press coverage and his own reviews that is just like rubbing salt in the wound for you? i mean, i want to just sort of tick through some of his responses. a few days ago he talked about puerto rico's debt as though it was some of the problems were puerto rico's fault. i can't get inside his mind. i'm not sure i would want to, if i could. it seemed to imply there was something -- that there was some fault to be laid at the feet of puerto rico. what's your response to that? >> this is the most ignorant president that we've had sitting in the white house. this is an individual who does not have an attention span and does not understand complex issues, refuses to understand context. and so i cannot respond to that. obviously, his fragile ego is what matters here about the attention that he's

they are embarrassed that their people who put themselves out there as leaders and people like al sharptonr jessie jackson who i think have done their own people tremendous service over the decade. i think it as a pity we have come to a place where anger and screaming victims is thought by am to be helpful. i just don't think it is helpful. i think it harms people. if you care about people and minorities i would run from that kind of stuff. i don't think that is helping anybody. it is just unfortunate and breaks my heart that so many young people are getting succeed into this. it is not -- sucked -- helping anyone. >> good morning. i would like to give you a perspective from a christian female with who happens to be a liberal. i hear a lot of judgmental con talk. i was raised in the '50s and '60s in the mean hateful south. i know about the kkk. they were not christian. but i will tell you people from a mother's perspective. we woman out here are independent, republican, and democrats are insulted. we are insulted by all of this. by the derogatory campaign that was led and none of our repub

al sharpton, let me bring you in. obviously, flooding is indiscriminate.y, the same. especially when the flood waters rise like this, but there is a disproportionate impact felt be i the poor. is there not? >> certainly, there is a disproportionate impact because they are in areas that are harder to reachoredevelop and dealing with how you are going to finance, refinance, insurance issues, now all of that has a i president and this administration heeds the request of this mayor with an immediate relief not based on some refundable situation in the future. there is immediate need there. we all talked about how insensitive it was for him not to mention the victims in his first trip. tomorrow should not be to remake or redo what he didn't do the first trip. tomorrow he ought to say we're making immediate funding available, we're going to put fema people on the street to handle debris. he needs to come in with a proactive agenda rather than a makeup for the debacle he did the other day. >> there are 100,000 requests for fema assistance. that number's just goin

they are embarrassed that there are people put themselves out there leaders, people like al sharpton think have done own people tremendous disservice is over the decades. i think that it's just a pity that we've come to a place where anger and screaming victim is thought by some to be helpful. i just don't think it's helpful. i think it actually harms people. if you care about people, if you care about minorities i would run from that kind of stuff. i don't think a stuff is helping anybody. it's just unfortunate. it breaks my heart so many young people are getting sucked into this because it's not helping anyone you care about people you have to take it seriously. >> host: catherine is in mobile alabama and you are on booktv. go ahead. >> caller: good morning. i like to give you a perspective from a christian female who happen to be a muslim. and i hear an awful lot of judgmental condescending talk. we read the bible from cover to cover. i was raised in the '50s and 60s in the mean hateful south. i know what white supremacy is. i know what the kkk are. they burn crosses. they terrori

donald trump and al sharpton hanging out for dinner. steve: that's your screen saver? >> yeah.ntial. you know, i said in an earlier hour interview. how many homeless people are on hollywood boulevard? i'm tired of the bleeding hearts that do nothing. these guys talk liberal but live conservative. so, you know, a lot of that was on display last night as they flew n their private jets and their limousines so much for their climate change and the loose rhetoric on things like that. so the hypocrisy is pretty deep. ainsley: chad, there are some conservatives in hollywood. many of them don't want to talk about their political beliefs because they are scared they will get black bald from these movies and frightened to be who they are. you are a comedian. what decided you to be so public. >> well, first of all, he believe in freef free speech. i believe in good comedy. i will laugh at a good joke at whoever's expense. i write good comedy. last night was not a good example of that i don't have anything necessarily to lose per se in n. that i believe in my convictions. i don't want to b

what i'm concerned about is this issue being politicized, especially from those like al sharpton, forof victimology, yes. >> we saw what happened with baltimore. we are probably going to see black lives matter be more vocal about this. unfortunately what they are going to be doing is pitting citizens against our law enforcement. i think that is a bad precedent and really dangerous move for them to be making. pete: that's a great point. this is an inner city that's got its own problems that it needs to face. these citizens rely on this and need this law enforcement as much as anybody else when you drive those wedges, it only makes the situation worse. >> baltimore and ferguson is still recovering. pete: that's a great point. ferguson just outside of -- both of those locations still recovering from those incidents. deneen borelli and dr. darryl porcher, thank you so much. >> thanks for having us. pete: hillary clinton sounding the alarm about president trump. >> i think this president and some of the people around him pose a clear and present danger to our country. pete: clear and prese
