have nbc news correspondent julia ainsley, who is outside the supreme court, we have reverend al sharpton there in the center of the screen, president of the national action network and host of "politics nation" on msnbc, as well as maya riley, president of the leadership conference on civil and human rights. welcome to you all on this extraordinary news day. julia, what more did the justices have to say in their decision? >> reporter: well, in short, they have ended affirmative action as we know it. in the majority opinion, chief justice john roberts says harvard and unc admissions, says those programs cannot be reconciled with the guarantees of the equal protection clause. both programs lack sufficiently focused and measurable objectives warranting the use of race, unavoidably employ race in a negative manner and involve racial stereotyping and went on to say, it is okay for students to mention in their essays how race played a role in their rare, inspiration or discrimination or otherwise. justice jackson said that, you know what, just because the law says that race should not be looke

al sharpton, what do you say to that? we make everything race because the truth is they don't want to hear the truth. daniel penny, brian kilmeade is a hero not a criminal. i'm one of those guys, i would try to help somebody. not today. not after this indictment. they tell you in new york city don't help your fellow new yorkers. that's the saddest part of this story. >> steve: it is sad. >> ainsley: daniel penny said this guy had a history of mental illness, violent incidents. he has homeless and appeared to be on drugs. we haven't gotten the toxicology reports. >> brian: k-2. evidently addicted to the k-2 drugs. 42 arrests, three unprovoked assaults including a 63-year-old woman who he arbitrarily punched in the face. >> steve: if daniel penny is convicted, who will ever step up again to try to defend people knowing that it could ruin their lives? they could wind up getting convicted for 15 years and it would ruin their lives. who is going to stand up. >> ainsley: think about how this world has changed. this is the news,

>> it's good to be with you again, reverend sharpton.lked about gun violence, that's been one of the biggest topics we've talked about here at columbus, at this summer's meeting. but the other thing we've also talked about, is the importance of having a comprehensive strategy to address mental health, in america. we see this issue as mayors every single day, on the front lines of our city. the mental health crisis is really a major driver to our homelessness issues that we see in our respective cities. it's also a major issue leading to violent crime in our cities. we, as a nation, must work with the america's mayors, and bring real federal resources to our cities to address the mental health crisis plaguing our nation. we are also concerned about immigration reform. we need to do everything we can to bring people back to work, and our economy. we need congress to create real change, when it relates to immigration reform. make sure we have a globally competitive economy long term, all across america. >> now, the opening of this year's co

politicsnation though, with the great reverend, al sharpton, is next. rev, i cannot wait for your show. i know you have senator raphael warnock. there's so much to talk about with him. voting rights, the georgia investigation to donald trump, that's just a start. i can't wait to see it. >> we had a great conversation. i've known him since 1999. he was a seminary student here in new york. came to a demonstration i had. he ended up getting arrested for peaceful demonstration with me. we've known each other since then. we had a great conversation, coming right up after the fabulous simone. >> we will be watching, rev, you have just mentored us all. take away. >> thank you very much. >> thank you verlet me say, welcoo politicsnation. right now, republicans in both chambers of congress are doing what they can to sabotage the people's business. in protest of the 37 federal counts, donald trump is facing over his handling of classified materials. and five days after his arraignment, that sabotage is ranging from a media campaign, to publicly exonerating trump

al sharpton what do you say to that two black people involved in that incident that back and the pennyat we do, we make everything race because the truth is they don't want to hear the truth. daniel penny, brian kilmeade, is a hero not a criminal. >> brian: and the next time someone sees something going wrong and there's no cops around how many will put their hands on somebody to save somebody else when this could happen, your life could be ruined, your family's lives could be ruined, your career goes on hold and now you have to face a beganed jury. sid rosenberg, thanks so much. >> thank you, bruin. i have to tell you i'm one of those guys. i would try to help somebody, not today. not after this indictment. they tell you in new york city, don't help your fellow new yorkers, that's the saddest part of this story. >> brian: i understand and i agree. thanks so much sid. we move ahead. big tech companies like amazon are often the primary enforcers of the left's moral code. fox news's trace gallagher joins us with more of a truly dystopian story. trace. >> brian an amazon driver who was dr

. >> you said what about governor hochul and al sharpton calling about race. is it when it comes to jordan williams. he was attacked. his girlfriend was attacked. so engaged the attacker. he realized this is life or death and it's going to be me or him. here is him talking about this incident. >> honestly i was afraid. i didn't know what was going to happen. he was closer to her than to me. i was trying to get me and her out of there safely. i didn't know what to do. i regret it every day. all i wanted to do was get me and my girlfriend off the train. brian: he's also indicted for murder. >> i'm also friends with this attorney jason goldman. he was on my show three days ago doing the same thing. the difference is al sharpton is not calling out jordan williams because he's a black man. daniel penny is a white man. it all comes down to race in new york. if you are black you get away with it. if you are white they want to put you in the electric chair. >> this was a god-fearing man who tried to defend his woman so they have to cruise if i him. brian: you sounds l

so disingenuous for the mayor al sharpton, williams, any of them to come out and make it, about this incident between mr. penny and mr. neely because the apparatus completely failed both of those men on the train. mr. penny should not have been put in that situation and mr. neely should have been in the hospital. he should have never been on that train threatening to kill people terrorizing innocent law-abiding taxpaying new yorkers on a train and mr. penny is white and mr. neely is black.[indiscernible] from the mayor, from al sharpton because it was a if it was a black on black crime, the passengers on that train. and he said we are going to. [indiscernible] for them because mr. penny is white and mr. neely is black. they don't care nothing about the innocent people or the victims in new york city. they are hypocrites, all of them. >> i would say there are other people involved in other people that mr. penny said he was protecting it's hard to understand how racism was a motivating factor but the politics are at play, anything is fair game. i want to thank all three of you for join

. >> you know i used to think al sharpton was the biggest race card hustler. it's joe biden. joe biden goes to howard and says the biggest threat to the homeland is white supremacy. the adl keeps track of how many people are killed by extremists last year 25 in 2020 there were 11,000 black homicide victims killed by other blacks and joe biden has been lying about his civil rights records for decades. >> how do you plan on reaching the black community? how do you plan on bringing that policy? donald trump doubled his support among black males talking about the economic agenda. what is your pitch to the minority voter getting ready to be pitched all this nonsense right here, how do you win them over? >> talk about school choice in urban america. there are 13 public high schools in baltimore zero percent of the kids can do math grade level. 53 government schools in chicago zero per cent the kids do math grade level. 85 percent of black 13-year-olds in america can neither do math or read at grade level which means a substantial percentage of black kids in america are ill literate

don't know what specifically happened before the incident took place, but the narrative that the al sharptons of the world have tried to bring about, it's not panning out. it's not race-based or that this was vigilante justice. what you have were three individuals, not just daniel penny, who felt threatened enough by this person and decided to intervene for the protection of the other passengers on the train. >> sandra: we will know more soon. thank you, joe. >> john: thank you, joe. >> sandra: a group of would be burglars chose the wrong time to strike. deputies chasing down and arresting these four armed men after a routine surveillance helicopter apparently spotted them trying to break into a florida home and it was all caught on camera. charles watson has this for us. what exactly are we learning was happening there? >> well, look, sandra, a lot going on, but this is a case of proactive policing leading to a case of bad luck and bad timing for four suspected criminals in sun city center, florida, who according to the sheriff's department down there, were caught in the act as they were try

al sharpton said, i want the other guys, the ones grabbing his arm, prosecuted.if daniel penny had him in choke-hold too long, why did other people have to get up. or when he locked him up, the guy was still flailing. i have to help out the good samaritan trying to help everyone else. if the guy was submitted and not breathing, why were people still trying to help out? my sense is, his hands were free and he was flailing away and someone else got in. daniel penny said his chest was going up and down when i released him. >> ainsley: many have said he appeared to have been on drugs, if that is the case, we need toxicology reports, there was a guest on "fox and friends first" this morning that said he could have died of a heart attack. the autopsy report, the medical examiner did rule jordan neely death homicide from compression of the neck. this is new york, depends on how the jury is going to vote and what opinions are. some people say well, he didn't have to kill him temperature is awful the man died, the man was threatening to kill other people on the train whac

the president of the national action network and host of msnbc's "politics nation," r reverend al sharpton president of the university and historian, jon meacham joins us. and founder of the conservative website the bulwark, charlie sykes. >> jon meacham, people criticizing a political opponent, it is not progressive democrats, it's not people that served in the obama administration that are out and criticizing donald trump, it is his former national security adviser. it is his former secretary of defense. it is his former attorney general who was so loyal to him, he was willing to purger himself in front of the house and the senate judiciary committees. >> yeah, no man is a hero to his valet or his attorney general. apparently what i think we are seeing is the people who know the most slowly saying what the unspoken part is, the tough part is out loud and the great question, the question on which so much of the country's future hangs, is to what extent can republicans who see the truth about trump, can they make a difference in turning a party that has been a remarkable force for good in

joining us is reverend al sharpton and jonathan lemire. good to have you both.y at la guardia. no flights were coming in. the yankee game was postponed last night. it doesn't look much better today. the pattern of this last the few days, as the day goes on it gets darker and darker, the skies fill with orange smoke. it's like walking through a campfire. >> it's hard to predict. they don't truly know what's going to happen. the smoke is sort of stuck in place for a couple days. i think today will be a little better than yesterday, but this is going to be with us for a few days. d.c. and philadelphia are having worse days today than yesterday. >> reporter: this morning, as millions are waking up to smokey cityscapes for a third day in a row, the white house stepping in. president biden extending critical support to canada, ordering all available federal firefighting assets to help contain the early-season wildfires ravaging that country and sending unprecedented plumes of smoke into the u.s. new york's skyline becoming almost unrecognizable throughout the day yest

joining us now is teree and reverend al sharpton. so excited to see you both.st songs ever recorded. it's had a resurgence, luke combs, the country star, has a cover out now. what did you want to look at in this song and what did you learn about tracy chapman? >> there was a couple things that talk about what was going on in the '80s. she's talking about poverty and trying to escape poverty and black poverty expand in the '80s. that concert, the birthday concert for nelson mandela, 600 million people watched that concert. he was in jail 25 years at that point. part of what was going on is that we had an afro centric mindset. the whole world is watching. when tracy chapman does that song, the whole world freaks out. that's the moment she becomes a superstar. before that her career was going nowhere. she wouldn't even have been there if not for affirmative action. she grows up in cleveland, single mom, single child. her life is going nowhere. someone gives her a scholarship and her life takes on a totally different trajectory. we're seeing all these things in the

also the reverend al sharpton. and as well as randy winegar dozen. and to round it out, our legal analyst andrew weissmann is by my side where we like him moos. most. let me start with you, randy. the president clearly prepared with some policy announcements today. i talked to him at length about this court. i can't imagine he was surprised by the decision, but there was some policy ready to be announced dade. your reaction to that. >> look, you know, i applaud the president for announcing policy immediately. there is a big difference between the two courses of approach. one was under the heros act, you could do emergency -- an emergency approach and move something faster. under the higher education act, you actually have to go through rule making. and these two avenues were available then. and i'm glad that the president is now saying that we'll move on the other area and i'm glad that he also talked about the income replacement issues. but instead of being in the rule making, let me just do this. i read that decision today. the hypocrisy is stunnin
