do you know what al sharpton does with money from his nonprofit? he spent a million dollars on private jets and limos. it's a slush fund for the reverend and his crew. it's been in trouble with the irs for years for tax evasion. and she's like here you go, it take half a milk. imagine if you gave her 500 grand to win pennsylvania and she just handed it to him to take a private jet to tahiti. this is the same campaign that the media said was perfect. >> kamala harris rent -- basically ran a flawless campaign. >> it's been very telling about who we are. >> she ran a flawless campaign. >> this really was a historic, flawlessly run campaign. >> jesse: maybe if you are al sharpton. he set it up to here. and he wants the entire democrat establishment to do a walk of shame out of washington and repent for their sins. >> justify what you did wrong and it tell us what you were going to do different because what you've done isn't worth [bleep]. get your head around that. and all of the washington-based democrats going to wine and cheese parties and talking a

al sharpton is a dinosaur. he profits from playing the race card.s picking the most qualified, most competent individuals. he has hundreds of apts to make, but al -- appointments to make but al sharpton wants to be relevant and he's irrelevant, stu. stuart: al sharpton's nonprofit organization got $250,000 from harris campaign because he'd given a softball interview on msnbc, quarter of a million. >> yeah, that's the thing. he profits from playing the race card. $250,000 for a softball interview because they have something in common. they play the race card in the democratic party. stu, i left the democrat party because in 2020 joe biden said if you don't vote for me, you ain't black. the democrat party is playing the race card and saw the results in the election, blacks, hispanics, catholics, jews, they voted for trump because he represents the american people. stuart: leo terrell, we always know where you stand. no messing around. leo terrell, see you again soon. good to see you. >> thank you, stu. stuart: here we go, it's the wednesday trivia que

just weeks before kamala did an interview with al sharpton. the harris campaign donated a half a million dollars to reverend's nonprofit. that's according to the free beacon. why is kamala's presidential campaign funneling 500 grand to the national action network? right before an interview with al. the national action network. why is a political campaign bribing al sharpton with charitable donations? do you know what al sharpton does with money from his nonprofit, the rev? in one year spent $1 million on private jets and limos. it's a slush fund for the reverend and his crew. it's been in trouble with the irs for years for tax evasion. and kamala is like, oh, here you go. take half a mil. imagine if you gave kamala 500 grand to win pennsylvania, and she just handed it to al to take a private jet to tahiti. happy die thursday. this is the same campaign that the media said was perfect. kamala harris ran basically a flawless campaign, i think, because she ran an incredible campaign. it's been very telling about who we are. she ran a flawless camp

>> it's really interesting because look at the end of the day i thought that al sharpton was going tos of whether or not money was donated but to not disclose that, that your organization received funding from the very campaign of the candidate you are then talking to on msnbc, that is a clear conflict of interest and there is some ethical standards that sure, maybe msnbc doesn't have as high of a standard than they do with other networks but it does seem like this was a clear and very obvious issue that any journalist could have pointed to, so i don't know why they didn't just do the basics, especially again, no one expects anyone, frankly, on msnbc to do a tough interview with kamala harris. liz: and none of it worked, right? none of their strategies, celebrities, out of touch about inflation, what people are feeling about the border collapse. you know, so i want your reaction to this. teamsters president shawn o'brien went on fox saying pelosi and schumer should now step aside like biden did. we want your reaction and please let's have you listen to top democrat strategist james ca

we have to understand that when you are talking about people, reverend sharpton, that are at that pointated and they feel like they have to shoot somebody, only people who have the credibility in that neighborhood and in these circles can convince them not to do that. not everyone can do this work. it takes a special kind of person, incredible messenger. that is what we do. hire folks that used to be out there on those corners with those guns and done their time in prison to go out there in front of the incidents before they raise to the level of violence. they were on the ground before and immediately after the brooklyn day mass shooting and have been there every single day since. and that is what they do. they help folks. we heard a young man the other day after celebration talk about how the safe streets guys got him connected to a place that is helping him get a job and get his ged. that helped him change his life, right? it is important to note that work is spreading. when you think about their focus, the police focus, all of the other agencies that are focusing. homicides are down

al sharpton $500,000 to the -- his coalition. next thing you know is he doing an interview., they say when the fec sheets come out, we are going to find out if eminem was paid anything and meghan stallion was paid anything. he or she is a celebrity. they are going for this -- they are going for this candidate. now we are going to say to yourself how much is that candidate getting paid? ened i just love the fact that danica patrick goes i wasn't paid anything. wasn't even offered to me. why would you? do you think brett favre got money to go out there in green bay? >> ainsley: you are absolutely right. she can't blame anybody but herself. >> lawrence: terrible. >> ainsley: or the people who put her in that position. she never even had to wane primary. >> lawrence: they wasted so much money that donald trump it did it for a portion of it. and they are rebuilding sets and all. this by the way, have we got a comment from msnbc or nbc about them paying al sharpton and her doing interview after that. that has to be some type of media malpractice doing that. >> brian: i look at al

>> michael: you could almost see the wheels turning in scarborough's head when he talking to al sharpton blame it on everyone but a candidate who didn't want to be there. it's like when you are being endorsed by people who have to read their endorsements off the phone, it's bad. joe biden had america on autopilot, and we were heading down, and then he tapped out, he didn't know what he was. "am i in a plane?" so the democrat party, they didn't look back at everybody else on the plane and go, "does anybody know how to fly?" they didn't even ask. "does anybody know how to fly a plane?" they just went, "you, kamala! get up here!" "i am a middle class, i don't know! [applause] and tim walz. "i'm going to talk you down, kamala! let's land this bird!" it's horrible. when the media points a finger, they have three. >> charlie: i've never had that phrase before. >> tyrus: you had, judge jeanine just says it wrong. we are scheduled to tell her it is a sum. >> greg: kat, if there is something that enrages my race is still more than anything, it is interracial marriage! oh, i can't handle it! is th

and we know al sharpton's in trouble, matt, because al sharpton didn't tell his company, msnbc that heot $500,000 towards his foundation before he interviewed the vice president. no wonder these things look like info commercials. >> that's the way things are these days. the standards are so different particularly if you are a democrat and if you are some of these other networks, they are going to get away with things. we are just all used to it now. i would that is when you have a campaign catapults from nowhere very shorts period of time. i don't think they ever had a handle on where to spend the money. they gravitated towards these celebrities and these stars and the sphere and all these things that looked shiny, but they couldn't bolster the candidate with the people they really needed the vote from. and those were african-americans voters, blue collar workers, folks without batchelor degrees or higher degrees of learning. those were the people we lost and never went for those people. they went from the stars. that's how this whole thing fell apart on them. donald trump would have b

>> it would be devastating, reverend sharpton. here is the challenge we have.americans and increasingly some middle income americans, these tax programs and retirement programs, and discretionary programs that provide a look into the public and state and local grants, pell grants, critical education supports, they all are paid for by the federal government. if donald trump gets his way, if he cuts income taxes further for higher income americans, if he cuts corporate taxes, we are going to lose critical revenue that feeds all of these programs. now, the challenge he has is that there are many entitlement programs, social security, medicare that are significant in terms of the cost. they can't be automatically cut, but congress can go in and make changes. risk and make changes to critical entitlement programs, to reduce eligibility for them, which means americans who are already having a hard time making ends meet will have a greater hard time. and for the many things he wants to do, if you want to do mass deportation, he's going to need money. if he is cutting

anderson, dan diamond, david jolly and the reverend al sharpton. dr.erson, jump in on what this looks like if we face another public health crisis. >> i was just kind of mulling that over. you know, we have learned so much, once again back to mrna-based vaccines, amazing, life-saving vaccines. and i want to double click on one thing my fellow panelists have said. vaccines do not cause autism. that has been debunked. vaccines adults. they cause children to go on and move on. i held children that have died from varicella or from influenza or from pneumococcal meningitis and to think of us going backwards and having those diseases rear their ugly heads again is just heart breaking. fast-forward to another novel virus with an outbreak, it is going to cause once again a massive federal response, mobilizing agencies quickly, and engaging the public with a message and hopefully with trust, and to start that journey at a time where we're moving backwards in progress, backwards in research, backwards in trust, like, that is so scary, i can't even fathom it. onc

it wasn't just al sharpton's group, they are paying oprah's people 2 million. money was flying out the door. what did they expect? and when you look at what the trump campaign did with joe rogan and other ways to get the message out, that is the way to do it and it does not cost a penny. >> that was part of a concerted strategy by a younger staffer who knew the podcast well and told trump he should get on them, and it worked mirac miraculously. i don't think kamala harris could have done that same thing though because we don't see her talk for long periods of time, just talking about her personality and her character and perspective in a way that endears you to an audience. her team is so mad about the kinds of questions she got in the more mainstream interviews. those are typical questions about your record and changing stances that every political figure gets. j.d. vance got the same questions when he did the circuit and then some. he got much more hostile lines of questioning and he made himself more popular by doing that because america was impressed with h

. >> brian: i should not play the al sharpton clip or joe scarborough. >> steve: took the right tone.woe talked about this before. we are no longer in the majority. but we need to work together. donald trump needs people to work together. can you imagine? pinch me. pinch me right now. pinch me. >> brian: okay that was a little too hard. i wish i believed that. that's a guy that lost. that's the same guy that was going to -- we had bipartisan immigration reform and filibuster is now gone. but now he has lost. >> steve: we send them to washington to get something done. let's hope they do it unified government. >> ainsley: how many memes did you get yesterday of donald trump vetting the mcdonald's food. emcee. receive steve she was working. >> brian: 80 years old. i don't know if he is going to change his spots. >> steve: meanwhile as we started the program we realized it's your birthday. >> carley: it is. plection a couple days before the birthday a big week. >> brian: rum cake for everybody. >> carley: major news that broke overnight. >> this is a fox news alert. a military judge has r

al sharpton did softball interview on msnbc. his network got $250,000. lady gaga, john bonjovi, katie perry, bruce springsteen did concerts and were not paid but support staff got $100 million. $2.5 million spend on marries' event on oprah winfrey, 50 million for the door knocking operation, 12 million on polling. $111 million to produce ads that asked for even more money, fundraising ads, $111 million. 25 million went to chair of the pennsylvania democrat party. he had complained publicly about being left out. they paid him to keep quiet. $25 million. $900,000 for ads on the las vegas sphere. 70 million on mail. come on. that's a partial list. it's actually in full a very long list. it has to be when you're throwing around $100 million a week; right? jennifer o'malley dylan in charge of it all and frequently clashed with top democrats about how and where to spend it all. they just shoveled it out the door. just like inflation reduction act. democrat lawmakers were given over $1 trillion and became a grab bag of left wing demands that has nothing to do w

but this goes back to what i think part of the problem is and if you're referencing to al sharpton -- flaws in the democratic infrastructure. the democratic infrastructure in the 13-week campaign are, like, how do we win this thing. their thought was, well, let's go after disthe affected republicans -- disaffected republicans, white women. we think that's you are strategy to win. remember how i started the segment, the two most loyal voting blocs in this country are black women and black men, and this wasn't an aggressive approach by democratic consultants who made millions of dollars on a billion dollar campaign to actually say there's a lot love -- of votes here. let's go deep with the base that continues to vote for the democratic party over and over and over again. and what happens to a lot of african-american voters if you look at the overall vote total, if you look at joe biden's share of the popular vote versus kamala harris' share, there's a lot of folks that sat at home for this election. howard: right. and that was talked a -- about a little bit by the press. up like britain

you want to know what reverend al sharpton said after that? he said this.some of the most misogynistic things come from black men." that is called stereotyping. there's no place for that right now. it's a time of self-reflection. maybe we should change the name "morning joe" to "mourning joe" with a u because apparently that's what they decided to do all morning. they are deeply in mourning. the headline that media test has hit its lowest point, the media is the least trusted civic or political institution in the country for a reason. i remember four years ago, eight years ago, when "the new york times" put out an apology letter and said they would engage in self-reflection and try to better gauge the country after trump's win. they didn't. you've had a decade, "new york times," cnn, "morning joe." instead of reassessing you have doubled down on partisanship and the country has rejected your mode of operation. >> brian: you might as well watch "fox & friends" but you have no choice. >> kayleigh: idea, with steve doocy, and you, and ainsley. >> harris: you g

to the extremes in your party that are pushing an agenda that puts you, according to reverend al sharpton, outside the mainstream of 80% of people, not only in your party, but 95% of the people across america. >> let me quickly say, i 100% a agree with that. the thing talking with democrats, they say their candidates are too worried about misstating something or offending someone or getting it wrong and getting that turned into some sort of viral moment. when, in reality, i think trump, and to a degree joe biden, actually, have proven that if you create a familiarity with the public, even if you screw up or say something offensive or put your foot in your mouth, the public, if they become familiar with you, will forgive you for that. they'll move on. oftentimes, there are these candidates that are too cautious, too scared of offending, and, therefore, they restrict the forms and outlets on which they go. >> but let me quote reverend al sharpton from this morning. the democratic party is led by beltway insiders and not people on the ground. i exist only as a civil rights leader, and i have

jonathan lemire, reverend al sharpton, chard haass still with us.yan, she's an msnbc political analyst. >> good to have you all. we want to pick up on a conversation we started on friday, the incredible conversation about the path forward for democrats in the wake of this month's election. among antonio delgado, who implored that his party refocus on the working class. and joe weighed in as well. take a listen. >> 60% of folks right now in this country living paycheck to paycheck. 60%. the top 1% own more wealth than the bottom 90%. first time in this country's history, the top 1% own more wealth than the entire middle class. you talk about why democrats are losing communities, it is because economic inequality is growing at an accelerated rate that is swallowing up the very essence of our democracy. that is the real threat, by the way. >> we now have a capitalist system that has fewer and fewer guardrails and the richest of the rich are making hundreds of millions of dollars in the market. >> and let me just say, people at home going, okay, you're

jonathan lemire, reverend al sharpton are still with us.bc political analyst, and publisher of the news letter inc., available on sub stacked, lot to start the hour with. >> jim's latest piece for "axios" is something. he writes democrats just lose badly, they lost to a convicted criminal they ridiculed as a racist, misogynist, fascist, and they didn't just lose to trump, they lost the senate, the house, many hispanic men, all three blue wall states, southern swing states, substantial support in the bluest of states and cities. why it matters, democrats are a lost party. the road to the democrats damascus requires deep honest self-reflection, and entirely new leadership. jim, it seems to me you're taking a bit rosier view of the democratic party than most. talk about it. >> it's a bad election for democrats for sure. >> yeah. >> listen, like any autopsy requires being a doctor, right, you have to look at this clinically, and there's no way to look at the data and not say maps where they did worse, and counties where democrats did worse or c
