Different words, different deadlines. All detonate the same explosion. They threaten to crash the government if they dont like who the American People have elected as president. Isnt that what the republicans did back in the old days . If they didnt like a government somewhere, iran, chile, they brought it down. Guess what. Republicans are now using the same tactic here at home. If they dont like who we elected president , they find a way to discredit its leaders. Do whatever to destroy it. Theyre using the cold war factics to destabilize our own country. Look at the impact of the constant threats to shut down the government. Its all in the ratings. Its making people forever nervous about the basic ability of america to even have a running government. Is that patriotic . I dont think so. Thats hardball for now. Thanks for being with us. Politicsnation with al sharpton starts right now. Thanks, chris. And thanks to you for tuning in. Tonights lead. Republicans trying to tank the economy
We will begin there with donald trump as we await Hillary Clinton. I want to public in a man who is at trump tower this morning for a meeting with africanamerican and la ttino activists meeting with donald trump. Ashley bell is the senior strategist and director of africanamerican Political Engagement for the rnc. Nice to see you in new york. You said he just added that based on something someone told him in the room this morning. We had a great conversation with our program. It always comes back to education. Education is a key to opportunity. Its great to hear him say education as well as job creation when he talks to black voters. I was looking at the transcript in advance. That was in there. I think he ad libbed the mention of education. I want to ask you. Cameras were only allowed in for a few minutes of the meeting. We were there for part of what donald trump said. Let me play that and well talk about it. Very important part of the message for me is the africanamerican community.
Despite the chant this process was incomplete. The fbi report was supposed to help settle the storm. But you should have never believed that was going to be the outcome, instead it ignited mass protests around washington, we now wait to hear what four critical senators will decide. Will they hes these calls . And those from a former Supreme Court justice . Urging them to vote yay . Theyre going to vote yay or nay. Yes or no. John stevens, the former justice says, he would vote do not confirm. Why . Well tell you. Alyssa milano agrees, a leading voice for the me too movement, she was at the Kavanaugh Hearing last week, and is here with us tonight. What do you say, it matters tonight, so lets get after it. Republicans are calling the fbi investigation thorough. So they now have cover. Democrats call it a sham. For many, concerns about judge kavanaugh go beyond the allegations. His temperament is going to be a huge issue. His independence as opposed to being a political operative is going

Her sister is here. Hopefully the president will be watching and hear how his words landed. And wait until you hear what the democrats are suggesting about some of Brett Kavanaughs background checks. What is it and why is it just coming out now . Time to find out. Lets get after it. All right. So, the fbi report on kavanaugh could be sent to the white house, then capitol hill. Could happen any minute. We are being told that senators are expected to start being able to read it at 8 00 a. M. Tomorrow. So if it werent for my next guest, there may not have been a timeout, a time for more analysis by the fbi, for more information before a full senate vote.
