From before the 1980s. But first, sanctuary cities have become a major Battle Ground in the immigration debate in the u. S. Why does President Trump want to get rid of them . And what does his new budget tell us about his plans to help inner cities with education, policing, and health care . Joining me now, the mayor of one of those sanctuary cities, newark, new jerseys mayor. Good morning. Good morning. Let me start with sanctuary cities. I want to get into the budget and how it affects inner cities, but the president has gone out of his way, the attorney general Jeff Sessions actually threatened mayors like you of sanctuary cities offi turning o certain funding. Why are they targeting you . I think them targeting sanctuary cities a way for them to tell mayors and folks around the country that theyre sticking to what i think is an unamerican and unconstitutional policy and trying to intimidate us into being what ive called fugitive slave catchers, to run around and do otheir bidding in our cities. If we refuse, its hard for them to do their policies. When we talk about undocumented residents locally that have sanctuary in certain cities like newark and et cetera, we are not just talking about mexican americans. I mean, in newark, were talking about people from the caribbean, people from africa, people thats right. And i think they tried to racial stereo type this as a mention cxican boarder issue wh youre giving sanctuary to people from many places who have married and had children in your city. Were a city of immigrants. All over the world are in the city of newark who are undocumented and are terrified by whats happening in this country today. What happens if they start cutting your federal funds because you wont break rank and do what you said a fugitive slave kind of theres some Entitlement Fund that most cities get, dollars for federally qualified health care centers. Opportunities to fix neighborhoods run down. This will probably hit the most vulnerable in our community, which i think is terrible, but we have to find creative ways to adjust. The irony is his buldget says hes going to cut the money anyway. Before we go there, you said well find ways. So you are determined even with the threat of federal funds being cut by the attorney general and the president , youre going to take a principle stand here . We have no choice. Newark is an immigrant city. All of the economic wealth thats created because of uncoupled and documented residents in our city, that buy clothes, that participate in the Entertainment Life in our city, that walk every day up and down the streets after newark, that make sure that our stores stay open, its important for them to stay there. Lets go to the budget. President trump said that he was going to do Amazing Things to bring america back and make america great. His budget is out. Any budget have a road map of the priorities and policies of a president. He has really not shown a lot in that budget that will help inner cities despite the fact he said that he was going to help black people more than anybody, and that we had nothing to lose. Well, it seems like we lost something in this budget. Well, according to his budgets, hes cutting billions from hud. We have 20,000 people waiting on a list for housing in the city of newark alone to cut that would be incredibly detriment tall to our city. Hes cutting hud that you have 20,000 people on waiting lists for hud in newark alone . Thats right. Dr. Ben carson is a hud secretary and hes cutting his bundle . Absolutely. Hud, i heard lately meals on wheels. I dont know who wants to cut food for senior citizens. This is a little dangerous. All the cuts in the budget shows his priority. His priority seems to be to really hurt African Americans, latinos, poor people in the cities and make it difficult for us to make a living here. The resistance to this certainly came in the civil rights community, some with the elected officials. But what about the pressure on the congress . If v you and other mayors that want to resist on sanctuary and that all feel shortchanged on the budget, have you been able to get your congressional delegations like in the state of new jersey to deal with this . Well, our congressional delegation has been on the forefront of the sanctuary city issue, whether its congressman payne, senator booker, all of them have been together around sanctuary cities and protecting what were doing in newark. Ive been hopeful about our delegation and other mayors in the state have been coming together talking about how do we resist collectively if the president decides to defund some of the things we need in our cities. Let me go a little new jersey, but still dealing in the national realm. Chris christie. Everyone was watching Chris Christie as he had ran for president. Didnt do too well. Then the bridgegate scandal. Two of his people were sentenced to jail. Does it seem odd to you he doesnt have a major role in the Trump Administration . For a minute i thought he would be a Vice President ial contender. There were people in newark hoping for that. He wanted him out of new jersey. Its ironic he has not had a real kind of position in the forefront in that administration. Ive known you a long time, most of your life. Knew your father before you who was one of the people we grew up under as he set a course for the National Black political convention. So just between us, is cory booker going to run for president . I mean, you succeeded senator booker as mayor. You know. You can tell me. Well, it feels like it. He said that he wasnt thinking about that now, and i heard a couple of interviews where he expressed that, but anything is better than what we have now. And i think cory booker would probably make a good president. Well, anything is better than we have now, i think that when you put the sanctuary situation and the situation of the budget there, its really a time to gear up and see. Thank you, mayor. Let me remind people, the mayor will take part in the National ActionNetwork Annual convention from april 26th29 in new york city. It is our First Convention and First National civil rights gathering in the era of President Trump. Were featuring the best of civil rights leaders, grass roots leaders, business executives, clergy and more. Sign up. Its all free at www. Nationalnetwork. Net. Coming up, both Vladimir Putin and trump say russia didnt interfere in the election, but every day information seems to show the opposite. Well try to make sense of that. Later, we go back to ferguson, missouri. Still a symbol for civil unrest in america. Theyre voting there in two days for a new mayor, and well talk to one of the candidates. This is politicsnation. Its time to shake things up. With the capital one venture card, you get double miles on everything you buy, not just airline purchases. Seriously, think of all the things you buy. Great. Is this why you asked me to coffee . Well yeah. But also to catchup. Whats in your wallet . Liz assumed all dressingtrust were madequal. E. Assume nothing. Just like the leading brands, these kraft dressings are made with high quality ingredients, at a price you can feel good about. No wonder kraft is so good. What no one is really saying in this room, which is part of the reason active measures have worked in this u. S. Election is because the commander in chief has used russian active measures at times against his opponents. He denies the intel from the United States about russia. He claims that the election could be rigged. That was the number one theme pushed by outlets up until the election. Welcome back. There are now three investigations into possible russian mettling in the 2016 election. And whether the Trump Campaign played a role. Meanwhile, House Minority leader nancy pelosi says she has no confidence in House Intel Committee chair devin nunes. She has no confidence in him to lead a fair investigation. And weve learned this week from former trump nsa adviser mike flynn requested immunity from prosecution in exchange for testimony on his russian dealings. The request was denied. Joining me now is New York TimesNational Reporter and senior political reporter. First of all, the whole question that we are faced with this week, three investigations. We saw nunes, the head of the House Intel Committee, say first he had an unnamed person he met that allegedly had given him some classified information or at least let him view them. Then we found out he was on the white house grounds. Then we found out the it was people on the white house staff. And then if he was on the white house grounds, it was white house staff that showed him this. Why did he have to be the one to bring it to President Trump then . Why wouldnt the white house staff have given it to trump . I mean, this all smells to fishy. I mean, i think thats the feeling of a lot of democrats, saying devin nunes should back away from the investigation. Thats why you saw the top democrat and republican for the Senate Committee looking into this came out in a rare joint press conference and saying we are going to take this seriously. You have the republican on that committee saying as a sitting senator, im going to follow where the evidence takes me. Even the republicans are feeling as though this investigation needs to really have more confidence. Wasnt that a little unprecedented to see while the house is supposed to be Going Forward in this investigation, for the senate to almost big foot them and come out with a republican and democratic senator saying we will be serious, well follow this to the end . That was a little unprecedented, wasnt it . Its sort of easy to look like a grownup and responsible person in comparison to whats happening in the house with devin nunes. He initially said trumps accusations were wrong. Nunes said that . He did. Then he gets this call. He hops out of the uber, goes to the white house, looks at something, and the first thing he does is he goes and tells the president. He doesnt tell the leading democrat on that committee or the committee members. He tells the president who by presumption is one of the people that helped gather the information to give to nunes. It all looks orchestrated like theyre covering their tracks. If youre using intelligence. And wouldnt you say if youre getting the information from someone on the staff, forget the fact that we didnt know it wouldnt you if you were objectively investigating it, say well, am i being set up here . Why would i run around him unless this is some orchestration that had been figured out that it looks like its something orchestrated. Remember, one of nuness colleagues in a information interview was asked, who did nunes work for . And this colleague says well, he works for the president. And this person was challenged and says doesnt he work for his constituents . He said he works for both. No. Youre elected independently. The white house has their own people appointed to do their job for the white house. Nunes and the other members of the house are supposed to work for the public. Also i think it goes to the Michael Flynn question. Michael flynn who was going to be the National Security adviser until we found out that he misled Vice President pense and others on his meetings with russians. Now hes saying that he would testify if given immunity which has been turned down. A lot of people are saying that, well, if you need immunity, you must be afraid that you have done something. In fact, flynn himself said that no one asked for immune thety as, i think he was referring to former secretary clinton, unless you had done something criminal. Are we taking too much of this . Is this a routine thing to ask for immunity, or does this seem as though he is concerned about something and possibly going to reveal something that will shake us all again in. Well, the republicans ive been talking to are very uncomfortable with the fact that he asked for immunity. The doesnt bode well for Michael Flynn that the only way he would sit down if he had immunity. It adds more spoke to the issue of russia, and the fact that he was hired into the cabinet. Today were reading stories you can go jonline on our paper and say there was money he didnt disclose making speeches. He didnt disclose it on his personal finance form. He seems to have different connections to russia, and hes saying essentially i need to be cleared of all wrong doing in order for me to talk openly about this. It doesnt bode well for him. It adds more smoke. Now, one of the things that was very interesting to me this week, which is hard to, you know, decipher through all this drama and theater, but when you had formal special fbi agent watt testify, and he said that the goal of russia, looking big picture now, not in the reality show filings were going through, is that they wanted to mettle with this election. They even hacked into the republican primary, they went after senator cruz, and then, of course, mrs. Clinton, because they really want to bring down the faith of the world in American People in the electoral process, and this was not just about doing favors for some kind of business dealings which may exist. It was about really the fight against american democracy and embarrassing and bringing it down in the face of the world and people feeling democracy cant work. The its a big picture . Right. I dont think many people could have planned for a trump presidency. This was sort of like a hail mary pass that somehow worked. They wanted the expectations were that Hillary Clinton was going to win. So the idea was to mock us . To mock us, but if the russian plan appears to have been Hillary Clinton is going to win. The only and best thing we can do is to sew distrust, and have people feel that democracy doesnt work, and in response to her questionable victory, you have Vladimir Putin on the other side. They wont be on equal plains. Trump somehow wins and we have seemingly russias best friend in the white house. And then in the middle of this conclusion and revelations going maybe or two or three times a day, i mean, 12 hour news cycle has become 12 minutes, where does Hillary Clinton fit in now that shes gone public, or does she step back and let them ruin themselvess . A lot of the democrats that ive been talking to are saying its too soon to here from Hillary Clinton. While its true shes someone with legitimacy and who a lot of democrats can rally behind, the democratic is in turmoil and looking for a new leader, and thats likely going to be someone more progressive than Hillary Clinton and someone seen as a fresher face. For her to be coming out and commenting on donald trump, its in some ways problematic for the democrats who are trying to get a facelift and turn a page here. Thank you very much to both of you. Now a quick update. Last month i had on this show michael lomax, the president of the United Negro College fund. It was on the same week he and other leaders met with President Trump at the white house and asked him to increase funding for their institutions. Many were skeptical about that meeting. But mr. Lomax told me to wait until President Trumps budget is out. Well, the its out, and we did some looking into it. The budget calls for, quote, maintaining money in proep rations for hpcus and minority serving institution, and that is below the spending for those schools right now at 577 million. For the record, there is no mention in the budget of any federal investment in scholarships, summer grants, technology, or campus infrastructure for his starkly black colleges that the leaders requested. Heres mr. Lomaxs reaction. Quote, President Trump pledged to do more for hbcus than any other president has done before. However, this budget is not reflective of that sentiment. Without strong federal investments, President Trumps commitment to hbcus and the rebuilding of African American communities will be promises unfulfilled. So donald trump got his photo op, but did not create more funding for hbcus. Just keeping your posted and keeping it real. Coming up, bill oreilly makes comments on a black womans hair.

That was fox news channels bill oreilly Tuesday Morning retaliating against congresswoman m congresswom congresswoman max ine waters. I dont have to tell you he was dragged by social media and feeling the heat, he did apologize on his show that night. Well, kind of. This morning on fox and friends i said in a simple jest that the congressmans hair distracted me. Well, that was stupid. I apologize. I had no place in the conversation. But in order to succeed in this country, you must be selfreliend, not dependent on the entitlement system she loves so much. Even those parting shots, even with those parting shots representative waters was not fazed by the comments as she told our own chris hayes. Let me just say this. Im a strong black woman, and i cannot be intimidated. I cannot be undermined. I cannot be thought to be afraid of bill oreilly or anybody. Wow. Well, now with that mike drop, youre thinking theres not much left to be said, right . Well, let me clear one little thing that might have been misunderstood. As a close personal friend to the late god father of soul, james brown, i can tell you that his signature perm was no wig. I know this because for 30plus years i was around the same stylist that he used and he would have me use. As you can see, his sense of style rubbed off on yours truly. But please believe me. This is no wig either. So mr. Riley, let me share three things with you. One, youre never, ever speak ill of a black womans hair. Two, james browns unique style was many things, but it was always authentic. And whats the third thing . Oh, yeah. I gotcha. Flonase allergy relief delivers more complete relief.

He wants to be remembered as the one that made america deal with how we are going to police in the United States. [ applause ] . In two days the sotown of ferguson, missouri will hold the first mayor election since the shooting death of Michael Brown and the protests that made ferguson a shorthand for racial tension in america after browns death. The relationship between fergusons overwhelming white City Government and the predominantly black residents came under fire and change has, indeed, come. Fergusons police chief is now black as are the majority of the city council members, but some are insisting that in order for the town to fully move forward, it needs elect the first mayor of color in its history. Earlier i talked to ella jones who became fergusons first black City Council Woman after e shooting of Michael Brown. Shes currently challenging James Knowles for the office of mayor. Tell us why you want to be the mayor, the election is two days from now. Tell us why you want to be the mayor, and tell the nation what is the state of conditions in ferguson today . Thank you for giving me an opportunity to come on this show. The reason why i want to be mayor, because ferguson need to be more inclusive instead of exclusive. We are a city that is divided, and we can no longer move forward if ke are divided. It comes very important that we close that gap between the haves and the haves not. And right now the city of ferguson, the people are hurting. We just had a flash point a couple weeks ago when they brought out the Michael Brown taping, and people took to the streets again. Weve got to work to the point that we must unite and change and become one ferguson. It is very important that the mayor be the symbol of the city, and when you are the symbol of the city, people should be able to trust you. People should be able to believe in you. People should be able to know that the leadership that you demonstrate in front of them is for the good of all of ferguson. Let me stop you light there, Council Woman jones. You brought up a point that is very critical to me. Just a couple of weeks ago we saw a new tape that wed never seen before in all the activities that went around the 2014 shooting, and as you know, i was very involved, and i remained in touch with the family and involved with people, and then when this tape came out just two weeks ago, things we had not seen, activists called me. Im hearing from people. People are back in the streets. Some of our people from our network there. Even though a lot of people around the country dont know whats going on in ferguson, there has not been the kinds of changes that we wanted to see. Theres been some forward movement, but clearly theres not been the fundamental difference that people wanted to see in 2014 Going Forward. Okay. That flash point, it gave it awakened the people again to let them know that they still have more work to do. Yeah. And its very important that we Pay Attention to the activists, because they are on the front line. And they know wha is going on. And right now they are out there every day. I had an opportunity to go out there with them yesterday and talk with them, and that ferguson market allegedly does a lot of illegal things, and people want that type of business shutdown. We want neighborhoods that are free of Liquor Stores. We shouldnt have to buy two and three miles to go to a negotiate when there are Liquor Stores there. Ferguson people want to know they have a Grocery Store in their community thats going to serve milk. Thats important. People dont understand that, what you just said, because that was one of the alarming things to me when i was rioting around ferguson as we were dealing with a lot of these issues. They dont have a Grocery Store in the community, but have two Liquor Stores. People around the country couldnt fathom, you cant go buy a carton of milk for your child in the neighborhood. But you can get booze. How does the mayor and those in the city not try and repair that and try to deal with that and address that . The its very important that we have a mayor thats going to look at all these Grocery Stores with these Liquor License that are planted in the African American community and say enough is enough. We are not looking to put nobody out of business. But we are looking to have Quality Stores that are going to service our people. When a mother need pampers or milk for her babies, she dont want to step over all the liquor and everybody loitering in front of the store. She needs some milk for her babies, so we want to attract stores that are going to be able to serve the people in that area. Now, you are running a very basic campaign, a very basic issue. I remember there were two blacks on the city council. You became the first. Now there are three. Are you confident that on tuesday theres enough blacks and whites that can come together and bring a new day to ferguson and then bring about the change that you want to see happening there in your town . I know that i am going to win this election. Ferguson is 70 African American. We have boots on the ground. We are doing a Grass Roots Campaign nature we are canvassing every day, every saturday, every sunday after church. We are knocking on doors. We are asking people who do they want to see different happen in their neighborhoods. So people are unifying. We are knocking on doors, and we will bring home the win on tuesday night. All right. Well, Council Woman, ella jones running for mayor. A lot of people may have forgotten about ferguson. I wont let it go, and ill be watching what happens there on tuesday. Thank you for being with me this morning. Thank you. Coming up, should we investigate unresolved civil rights murders predating 19 80 like the outrageous one of emmett till .

Made president of the United States, barack obama possible. The it is all tied to the death of emmit the till. The murder of emmett till was one of the most definitive and shocking moments of the early Civil Rights Movement. While visiting family in mississippi in august, 1955. He was kidnapped and tortured to death by two white men. His body thrown into a river wrapped in barbed wire. His alleged crime . The now debunked claim that he had sexually accosted this woman, Carolyn Bryant don m, who in recent years has admitted she had lied about the charge that resulted in the teens death. When newspapers picked up the image of tills mangled body, bla black america was outraged with thousands attending his funeral. Despite the horrors inflicted on his body, tills mother insisted on an open casket so the world would see what had been done to her son whose killers, by the way, were not were found not. Earlier this week members of the tills family met with attorney general Jeff Sessions to press for the enforcement of a law allowing prosecutors to investigate unresolved civil rights murders predating the 1980s, authorized by president obama last year. The law is named for the slain teen whose death helped spark a movement. Joining me now is deborah watts, emmett tills cousin and head of the legacy foundation. Let me first go, deborah, i remember when we were funeralizing rosa parks. It was raised at the funeral that she said that when she refused to give her seat on the bus up, when ordered to go to the back where blacks had to sit, all she could think of was emmett till, what they had done to him a year before that. He sparked a movement, because he was falsely accused of looking at a white woman who has now taken it back. But the viciousness of his killing, and i remember when his mother visited us, she talked about how she wanted to open that casket thats now in the Smithsonian Museum to show the world what they did to her son and to show the world how vicious it was based on just a black kid in mississippi, and a white woman saying something that wasnt true about a look, and they would kill him just for appearing to have looked at her when it didnt happen. You, therefore, brought that to the attorney general sessions this week, not just about emmett but for a law named for him saying they are to continue invest dpating a lot of murders like emmett tills that predate 1980. Yes. Its importt. There are so many unresolved issues, unsolved imes, families out there like ours that have experienced pain. For our family, 62 years. For some of those, its been even longer than that. Even shorter than that, but any amount of pain with an unresolved issue, a murder, a disappearance, the injustice that many of our families have experienced, we need to right those wrongs. And the Justice Department, this is a bipartisan effort led by congressman John Conniers along with senator burr out of north carolina, senator blunt as well, mccaskill have been instrumental in making sure that bill has received the attention its received. Now were moving forward. Its important to implement this bill. No longer should it just sit in the law books or as just a law. It needs to be implemented. It needs to come to light. What did attorney general sessions say to you in your meeting . How did he respond . Well, you know, that meeting was solely for the purpose of talking about the bill. Our initial invitation or my initial invitation was extended by alvin sikes who leads up the emmett till justice campaign. As a family member, of course it was a wonderful opportunity for me to sit there and provide a face to how important this bill is. Our objective there was to open the lines of communications with the Justice Department and our attorney general, Jeff Sessions. The second piece was to make sure that we impressed upon him how important this bill was, what other families are out there that need to achieve justice, and then to talk about implementation and how important it is to make sure that this bill is implemented and that the funding is appropriated and that theres a line of communications and a way forward for the cases to be presented. This was an initial meeting that alvin set up and one that i think we were able to open those lines of communication and i believe attorney general sessions was very open to that and positive in a sense because he was familiar with the till case. Hes familiar with the issues surrounding other families. He was familiar with some of the cases that had been opened and closed and then those that had received some sort of justice, and that was the historical one with that started the selma march for voting rights. All right, well, were going to see if he and others have a Firm Commitment and move forward on this. Thank you for being with me this morning, debra watts. Thank you so much for having me. Thank you. Up next, my final thoughts on the 49th anniversary of the aassassination of Martin Luther king this tuesday, and why he matters today more than ever. Stay with us. I no longer live with the uncertainties of hep c. I lego of l those feelings. Because i am cured with harvoni. Harvoni is a revolutionary treatment for the most common type of chronic hepatitis c. Its been prescribed to more than a quarter million people. And is proven to cure up to 99 of patients who have had no prior treatment with 12 weeks. Certain patients can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni. Before starting harvoni, your doctor will test to see if youve ever had hepatitis b, which may flare up and cause serious liver problems during and after harvoni treatment. Tell your doctor if youve ever had hepatitis b, a liver transplant, other liver or kidney problems, hiv or any other medical conditions and about all the medicines you take including herbal supplements. Taking amiodarone with harvoni can cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. Common side effects of harvoni include tiredness, headache and weakness. Ready to let go of hep c . Ask your hep c specialist about harvoni. This sunday, april 4th will be the 49th anniversary of the assassination of dr. Martin luther king. He had gone to memphis, tennessee to support and aid striking garbage workers. He was involved at the time in a National Campaign around the poor peoples martha he had conceived to bring the question of income inequality and racial inequality to washington d. C. I remember that night he was assassinated like it was yesterday. I was 13 years old and had just been appointed the youth director of his new york city captor where i was born and raised. Here i look 49 years later and see the washington he was on his way to now feeling with the issues of income inequality like Martin Luther king never lived, ignoring the continued racial disparities, ignoring the fact that life in america if youre while or if youre black or latino, asian, is much different, if your woman is much different, if youre lgbtq. Martin luther king changed this country. Martin luther king put laws on the book that changed the very nature of what this country was about, but we are not where Martin Luther king wanted us when he died 49 years ago. We even see them threatening to take away some of the laws he made possible. That we cant stand by and allow to happen. That does it for me. Thanks for watching.
