And the flint water crisis. A Public Health disaster turns into a political fight. The democrats may want to be playing politics with this at the expense of the people in flint. Well get a reality check from michigan. All that, plus big numbers for president obama, and the real voter fraud in 2016. Politics nation with al sharpton starts right now. Good morning, im al sharpton live in atlanta. Two days before the New Hampshire primary. Last night the republicans gathered for the first debate since Donald Trumps no show in iowa. And it was a rough night for marco rubio. Under intense attacks from Chris Christie, he strangely kept repeating the same, canned line about president obama. Take a look. Lets des pell once and for all of this fiction that brk doesnt know what hes doing. He knows exactly what hes doing. Lets des pell with this fiction that barack obama doesnt know what hes doing. He knows exactly what hes doing. Heres the bottom line, this notion that barack obama doesnt know wh
But he has yet to produce any proof that such an audit is taking place. Well, the New York Times got ahold of trumps 1995 tax returns. The revelation . Donald trump quite possibly could have avoided paying a dime of federal income taxes for 18 years. Trump claimed a 916 million loss in 1995 after poorly managing his businesses in the early 90s because he declared that hefty loss, the times found the republican nominee could have taken advantage of portions of the countrys income tax code that are particularly helpful to wealthy filers. Specifically, rules that would have allowed him to use that 916 million loss to cancel out an equal amount of taxable income over an 18year period. The Trump Campaign responded in a statement that neither confirmed nor denied the notion that he did not pay federal income taxes for 18 years. Mr. Trump is a highly skilled businessman who has a fiduciary responsibility to his businesses, family and employees to pay no more tax than legally required. The uns
Its pretty strange to put Something Like that out with such Little Information right before an election. In fact, in fact, its not just strange, its unprecedented, and it is deeply troubling. And i will tell you without knowing anything the only reason, the only reason that they did this action that you saw yesterday was very, very serious things must be happening and must have been found. Good morning and welcome to a. M. Joy. Its just over a week before election day, and were still talking about Hillary Clintons damn emails. Thats thanks to fbi director james comb who on friday notified congress that the fbi had found more emails and may or may not be relevant to the agencys investigation into clintons use of a private email server while she was secretary of state. That investigation has turned up no evidence of criminal wrongdoing by clinton but has been used by republicans to bludgeon the candidate at every turn. Now, comey himself is under fire amid reports that he violated depart
Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. We are now just 51 days from donald trump becoming president of the United States and more and more people appear to be confronting the very real possibility that trump will use the full force and power of the Us Government to benefit his sprawling business interests and enrich himself and his family. Today a largely unknown apparently pretty plucky little government office, the office of government ethics, which is charged with preventing conflicts of interest in the executive branch took to twitter to congratulate trump for addressing the issue. Unleashing a very trumpian ninetweet tweet storm that included, quote, real donald trump oge is delighted that youve decided to difbest your businesses. Right decision, exclamation point. Bravo, only way to resolve these conflicts of interest is to divest. Good call. We told your counsel wed sing your praises if you divested, we meant it. That was not hack. We made sure. It was also sadly what the k
Being hacked and having jill stein raise a lot of money, basically leading them down this pass, is it theyre getting off the topic that you and i talk about on air a lot, which is the grassroots politics of winning back these state legislatures, these state governors mansions, so they can actually have some say in the way these elections are run. What do you think . In 24 months, we have another election coming. One things going to happen. Jill stein and this circus shes doing is one thing about money. Its about 40 of us going to the Online Companies thats raising the money. Its going to get watered down. Shes trying to be important and relevant. And to be frank with you, shes using Hillary Clintons donors and the think towards miss clinton, secretary clinton out there in an unproductive way. If they were raising 5 million to go do some get out the vote and redistricting, good for you. Thats a real smart thing for the party to do. Thats a good thing to do while the dnc is disorganized
