former congressman david joins us and the rev al sharpton host of "politicsnation" here on msnbc.he president of the national action network. rev, in politics when you go in for the political assassination, you better make sure your gun is loaded. he made an attempt to take biden down, to diminish him to suggest he's diminished and he missed. >> well, i think clearly he did. you know, i was there last night in houston, and i was sitting there. and when he did it, and i like julian castro. he's very strong on a lot of the things i'm concerned about. but clearly he went three or four times suggesting that mr. biden was forgetful and wasn't working with a full deck in terms of memory. which is a republican talking point. i think we've got to be very careful that we not confirm what we know trump and them are going to do if biden or whoever is the nominee. that's one. second, you win the nomination by getting the most votes, not by doing the beatdown, especially when you're using a false premise. biden clearly did not forget what he said. if anything, julian fabricated that he said fo

joining our conversation, rev al sharpton, host of "politicsnation" here on msnbc and president of the national action network and phil rucker, white house chief for "the washington post." phil rucker, it's your scoop. to you first. >> well, nicolle, it's actually my colleague's scoop but what they're reporting overnight is it was indeed the president that used that sharpie to alter the map that was displayed in that oval office briefing. and it speaks to his frustration with this story line. so much of the reaction he had over the last few days on the alabama situation is because he's reacting to news media reports such as shep smith's show on fox yesterday and he's angry because he believes -- and this is according to his aides, he believes that he was correct in his announcement on sunday that alabama was in the hurricane track. of course, that was old information, as you just explained, and alabama was indeed not in the track of hurricane dorian when he made that announcement on sunday. and it's the is reason why the national weather service took to twitter to correct the president

cliff, washington correspondent with the daily beast and host of politics nation, the reverend al sharpton back from the cdc, the black caucus in washington, d.c. reverend, i do want to start with you. we listened to that sound byte. we heard what seems to be directly addressing the criticism he came under after that long winded response that he gave to slavery and reparations at the houston debate that kind of eva fld into venezuela and record players. did he help make up for that in. >> i think he started to go toward making up for that. but i think former vice president biden is going to have to be very specific on what policies that he's going to bring forward if elected to be president that will close the wealth gap and the race gap in terms of employment and education. because you have to remember part of the criticism of joe biden by me and others was the crime bill in '94 and he has said that he has seen where it was unintended consequences, which many of us accepted as his work as vice president, but when have you done specific legislation we feel is detrimental, you have to come
