al sharpton. that's next. stay with us. >>> msnbc host al sharpton made his way back into the ferguson fray today. he held another press conference alongside the families this time of michael brown. and he had some words for st. louis county prosecutor bob mccullough. >> imagine watching a prosecutor come out, and not only announce no indictment, but disparage the character of your son, call them a thief, call them everything he can and then call on the witness's life. this is a no bill, we have been through that, but to go through a whole sermon denouncing your son and you have to finding enough strength to say don't be violent while your child is being disparaged. how do we know what michael brown's side of the story is. but the prosecutor said it like it had been a trial rather than an inquiry. >> should sharpton be pushing himself to the frongtd of another catastrophe in one of his stifcivil rights activist ts that al should get out of the way. >> you don't need to be center stage, brother. get out of the

everybody always talks about how come al sharpton doesn't have to pay any taxes? do they target? they target the tea party. people died at freddy's fashion mart. they destroy people's lives by propagating a false story of mass rape. sharpton is more crooked than lumbar street. he hates the police, he hates law enforcement, he hates the practices that made this city safe. if you listen to al sharpton about law enforcement, he would make death wish look like sleepless in seattle. >> its unfair to say that the irs doesn't pay any attention to them. they have got leans against him. they have been after him for some time. >> that's not what he said. he said he didn't owe a dime until now. >> here's the problem, when you have only one or two civil rights leaders as who stand out, who are well known, and one is meant to be al sharpton, that is a problem for civil rights groups for blacks in this country. that is the answer you have, every day we have to listen to that. that's why there's no more -- >> why does he the day after the midterms elections, president obama brin

records previewed by the paper reveal that "al sharpton had more than $4.5 million in current state andens against him and his for-profit business." so today sharpton, frequent white house guest, adviser to obama, fired back. take a listen. >> first of all, the story is at best misleading and totally out of context. national action network and i owe no current taxes >>> since 2008 i have paid my taxes personally to the federal government. >> he has been to the white house 81 times. president says stay the course. is this the right guy to be going to the white house 81 times? >> you know, sean, two quick things i remember during the stop and frisk controversy here in new york i stood on 79th street and 5th avenue and i saw 50,000 demonstrators protesting with reverend al. there is not another black leader in this country that could have mobilized that many people. the second point is white people have to stop telling black people who should represent them. >> no. no. >> he is the preeminent black leader in the country according to black people. >> let's take a trip down memory lane we'll

know, the president has said, you know, stay the course in ferguson, basically cheering on what al sharptonthat the tax issue and ferguson are two entirely different issues. i mean, not even apples and oranges, they're not even both fruits. when we look at reverend sharpton, which i have had some of my freshman friends say he's not my leader, and others say because he's a celebrity, that he speaks out for them. i think many of the people in ferguson feel that way. but i have to say when i did see him include ferguson with regard to the report on the taxes that he owes, back taxes that he and his organization owe in "the new york times," that really bothered me. because, you know, ferguson is about two lives, the lives of a young man, the life of a young man that was lost young, michael brown, and the life of an officer that we will see what a grand jury decides. so, you know, i don't feel that his relationship with the white house matters with regard to this tax. it is very common with back taxes for the irs to place liens, work out payment plans -- martha: a lot of money. >> and there are

. >> today al sharpton headed to ferguson. "fox & friends" starts now. >> let's get to that fox news alert for you. fire fighters battling massive flames as violent protesters in ferguson burn as many as 12 local businesses to the ground. >> our community is about to take -- has to take responsibility for what has happened tonight. we have done something here that will impact our community for a long time. >> bringing it to adam housely who is live in ferguson. adam, what can you tell us this morning? >> you talk about the fire fighters, elisabeth. you can still smell the smoke in the air as they're trying to put out some of the fires. we're told by authorities 25 separate fires were started last night in a two-hour time frame. behind me, some of the fire crews that have come out here. this is from university city which is not far from here. they're coming in with escorts. you'll see bell ridge police coming in as part of the mutual aid. mcdonald's was looted. next door is a business. we're staying back here. i'll explain why

we are victims, kind of leaders. >> should al sharpton. >> so 1960. >> should al sharpton been the firstte house after that implies the white house is diverting to al sharpton on a lot of these issues. you have got to go quick though. >> i think the president has been tone deaf throughout. if he wants to invite al sharpton or play golf with michael jordan. >> leave it there, geraldo. thank you. tomorrow, be sure to catch my show cashing in 11:30 a.m. eastern on the fox news channel. we will be talking much more about how racial politics impacted the midterm election results. plenty ahead as the factor moves right along this evening. president obama sends a secret letter to iran's supreme leader underscoring a shared need to destroy isis. but will the strategy back fire? we hope you stay tuned for those reports. it says here that a won's sex drive increases at the age of 80. helps reduce the risk of heart disse. keep hrt-healthy. live long. eat the 100% goodness of post shreddedheat. doctorrecommend it. i got this.

that is what al sharpton does best. we know he doesn't like the american legal process, he's always abused it, rabble-roused. what happened in ferguson is the way the legal process is supposed to work. >> christian? ashley: respond to that, niger. >> i think christian would agree that as unfortunate and dangerous as sharpton and some of what i call these racial racketeers are more dangerous is the president of the united states that would go before the united nations and elevate this ferguson tragedy to that of a human rights or civil rights violation before knowing the facts. what is ten times more dangerous is the attorney general of the united states comparing the ferguson situation to emmett till who was a young black, i believe 14-year-old that in 1955 was lynched by a posse for whistling at a white girl. the comparison is absurd. it is nonsense, and the only purpose for that comparison is to instigate the racial division that christian talks about. sharpton is one thing, he's a community organizer, he's a powerful

reverend al sharpton and michael brown, sr.come and address you after the attorney's make their comments. michael brown, sr. will say very little because he doesn't want to misspeak because of such emotions that are going through him that will later be held against him. so with that said, we will take a few questions after that agenda is completed and we will try to respect the family of michael brown, jr. in this most terrible, unforgiving hour that they are facing. attorney grey and attorney daryle parks and myself, we objected back in august to this prosecutor. we even wrote a letter to the governor requesting a special prosecutor to be appointed. we objected when he informed us the process that he was going to use that was different than anything else, different than any normal grand jury that you would have

not al sharpton. alveda king. the niece of martin luther king on getting past the hate and not always stirring up the hate. alveda, an honor to have you again. thanks for coming. >> hello, neil. good to speak to you again. we were on the phone before, and that was a little choppy, but i'm glad to talk to you now? neil: it was, but you were flawless as always. here's my beef with al sharpton stirring things up. i don't think that's a reverends place to do that for good or ill. i think now and today was not the time to do it or the message to send in the middle of a tinderbox. what do you say? >> when i i think about al sharpton and jesse jackson and i never argue about whether they're doing it intentionally or on purpose or accidentally, but i want to remind them that they're opening up a tinderbox when they stir up people's emotions. people can't think logically. neil: i think they want to. >> they say, well, we'll come and fix everything. you call us in. we'll fix it. it's really a tinderbox. it's not right to st

andrea mitchell sitting next to al sharpton. same thing with chuck todd. they make no distinction between an activist like al sharpton and a journalist like chuck todd. so you have al sharpton praising the -- analyzing the race in pennsylvania saying how successful people were in getting people out to vote for the democratic policy and he's the activist who was getting them out to vote for the democratic party. that's outrageous. they so compromised their election night journalism. >> fox news, megan kelly, 6.6 million viewers. >> yeah. really, we have not made enough of those numbers. you and i go -- well, i go back to the late '70s when dan rather and cbs and nbc owned election night coverage. and we parsed them like they were covering the kremlin. how can that person have the second farthest? they owned it. to see this shift and to see fox now dominate the network is astonishing. what was it, only eight years ago, 10, 12 years ago, cnn owned cable election night coverage. to see these swammed by fox like this was a seismic shift. >> i didn't see that. i

and the al sharptons and the barack obamas and the eric holder is dividing us with our black communityt's horrible. >> bo, you can't put the president of the united states in the same breath as al sharpton. >> why is he responding to the guy -- >> hasn't done too much maybe, barack obama hasn't done enough. >> why are you getting involved in -- >> obama jumped the gun, without knowing any evidence. >> he sends the attorney general. >> i disagree with the attorney general going. i think the president should be reaching out to black families. he should be -- >> judge a case like he did. >> when he came in, he had 70% approval, even people who didn't vote for him said we can bury the racial hatchet. >> we have to take a break. could last night's chaos in ferguson been prevented? my next guest says governor nixon and other officials dropped the ball big time. the mayor of foergson when we get back. ha-ha john! john and horace dodge launched their first car in 1914. but they were not only business partners, they were brothers. competitive, stubborn... and always pushing each other. the way

let's go listen to al sharpton who is an advocate.his is the guy he invited to the white house. >> if you're angry, throw your arms up. if you want justice, throw your arms up. if you want answers, throw your arms up. because that's the sign michael was using in order to establish peace you must have justice for everyone. we want real, we don't want to be told to shut up and suffer in silence. we don't fight until we are tired. we fight until we win. the federal government must step in. >> that's the guy who was invited to the white house? >> you know, putting pressure on grand juries to indict in my view is un-american. a grand jury should be allowed to be fair and impartial. they shouldn't have people yelling and -- what is this the old west in which we're yelling and screaming for people to be killed? >> al sharpton at crown heights? >> of course it was. al sharpton during my administration with four police officers all of whom got acquitted by a jury with four blacks. and they were demonstrating for 50 or 60 days for me to indict

i really do not hear that from al sharpton.hink i heard him say -- lou: how about the attorney general? >> the same thing with the president and the attorney general. i don't see enough emphasis on calling for peace and for order. certainly, we all want to see justice. but you can't try a situation by public opinion or you should not, and i think that is basically what al sharpton has been doing, relying on public opinion. lou: i've been -- as i've been discussing this with various folks, one of those activists, a professor at st. louis university said that this was about greater -- greater wounds than simply in ferguson, but talking about an expanding narrative around the experience of african-americans in this country over history. with that kind of language and with that kind of perspective, healing wounds is almost impossible, isn't it? >> if you're going to deal with systemic issues and there are some, we do not address those with violence, upheaval with exas baiting a situation. those kind of situations need to be dealt w

politics nation with al sharpton starts now. >> good evening and thanks to you for tuning in. tonight's lead, the republican threat machine goes into hyper drive. president obama speaking at a news conference in asia said he is not backing down from taking executive action to prevent millions from deportation. they failed to give a vote and i indicated to speaker boehner several months ago that if in fact congress failed to act, i would use all the lawful authority i possession to make the system work better. that's going to happen before the end of the year. >> the president is moving forward and driving republicans crazy. speaker boehner is thinking about expanding his lawsuit to include actions over immigration. the gop shut down talk is getting more explicit with the faction in the house seeking to block the president's decision by shutting down the government for an extended president. we are hearing new impeachment calls on fox news. >> a plague rant assault on the constitution. the law called for certain things. if you suspend it unilaterally, that is an assault on the

here's al sharpton's history. >> you ain't nothing. you're a punk -- now come on and do something. >> should he be in the oval office with ferguson activist, many of them from out of town? >> it's so sad to hear this man and see these comments and see that he's now the sort of de facto heir to martin luther king. the man is not a peacemaker, the man is a rabble rouser. we don't know what evidence these jurors are seeing. the original story when this all started was this gentle giant on the way to college got in some trouble and was shot and killed. then we saw the footage -- >> just walking in the middle of the street. >> minding his own business. >> shot in the back. >> shot in the back. >> then we see him stealing cigar, intimidating a clerk. then the audio tape from police saying be on the lookout for somebody that just stole cigars and that's what he was wearing an the cops stopped him based on that description. we've gone far from the original narrative that this guy was on his way to college and was killed, maybe on his way to th

any time al sharpton shows up on the scene, nothing's good going to come out of that. heard the father the other night call for calm and i think it was a slap in the face to his family and the memory of michael brown that these anarchists, and that's what they are, i'm going to call them for what they are, they didn't acquiesce to the father's call for calm and instead showed true motivation, which is self serving. i also can't for the life of me figure out, i heard some of the president's comments last night, he said what we need to do is try to understand them and he said the anger was an understandable reaction, and i was just floored by that, because it's not an understandable reaction. people have to come up with a more socially acceptable way to deal with anger and frustration. this is totally and unequivocally intolerable. >> now, it's interesting, sheriff, but prior to the parents meeting with al sharpton, you're quite right, they were urging calm, restraint, very, very measured in their response. it seems after their first chat with him, then when they appeare

reverend al sharpton and michael brown sr. are going to come and address you after the attorneys make their comments. michael brown sr. will say very little because he doesn't want to misspeak because of such emotions that are going through him that would later be held against him. with that said, we will take a few questions after that agenda is completed and we will try to respect the family of michael brown jr. in this most terrible, unforgiving hour they are facing. attorney gray and attorney daryl parks and myself, we objected back in august to this prosecutor. we even wrote a letter to governor jay nixon requesting a special prosecutor to be appointed. we objected when he informed us the process that he was going to use that was different than anything else -- different than any normal grand jury that you would have presented. and now after we watched him last night in his comments, we strenuously objected to this prosecutor and this process. but this morning, after we like all of you went through as much of the informat

andrea mitchell sitting next to al sharpton. same thing with chuck todd. they make no distinction between an activist between al sharpton and journalist like chuck todd. you have al sharpton analyzing the race in pennsylvania saying how successful people were in getting people out to vote for the democratic cause and he is the activist getting them out to vote for the democratic part. no distinction, that's outra outrageo outrageous. >> all right, fox news, even beat the broadcast networks in ratings with 6.6 million viewers. >> really, we have not made enough of those numbers. you and i go -- well, i go back to late '70s when dan rather and cbs and nbc owned election night coverage. we partsed them like we were covering the kremlin. how come that person had to sit at the second furtherest desk. they owned it. to see fox dominate the networks is astonishing. and also, you know, what was it, only 8 years ago, 10, 12 years ago, cnn owned cable night election coverage. to see them swamped by fox was, i think, a seismic shift. >> come for the coverage, stay fo

al sharpton was going to protest. to protest that see, i was right. this is what happens when w. with the police. of course when they find out that darren wilson wasn't guilty, then they have to say that there is no justice in america. there is no in between for the left. and the unfortunate thing is if they really wanted to protest, they need to protest all the democrats that have led to this unfortunate situation. claire mccaskill, lacy clay, barack obama and others. all of these people have led the situation not only just limited to ferguson, it's all over america where these kids are left in desperate situations where they can't find jobs and things like this. so, sharpton needs this. he needs it, i guess, to pay off his tax debt because there is no reason to do this. >> so meanwhile, the people who actually live in ferguson are bearing the brunt of these protests. here is a school superintendent from the school system tiffany and derson talking about the fliers kids in her schools are getting. she said fliers enc
