. >> dr. dyson, what do you make of all this? okay, they lost big time last night. where do they go from here in your opinion? >> yeah. i don't think we should overinterpret what happenyou sa. first of all when the president said two-thirds of the people did not vote. that's signifying that those of us who didn't vote, those who complain and bemoan what's happening have really contributed to our own demise so to speak. and furthermore, that in order for us to have a nation that is unified, we have to tell the truth about the suffering of the poor, the suffering of those, the economic populism that brother green referred to here that elizabeth warren used to pack the houses is extremely important. so let's not take the wrong message here. the wrong message would be mitch mcconnell has the right ideas. with eve got to attack on that. give up the aggressive leaning platforms. no, the prtz as you said, something very important, they've been after him. has been put out of office symbolically by these folk from the very beginning. that is, those who oppose him. so this is

lives as mayor of new york city than any mayor in the history of the city, i would like to see if dr. dyson has saved as many lives in his community as i have saved. the danger to a black child in america is not a white police officer. that's going to happen less than 1% of the time. the danger to a black child, if it was my child, the danger is another black. >> okay, so he's speaking from his perspective and considerable years of experience not only as mayor of new york city, but as a former prosecutor and working very closely with law enforcement in the streets of new york. eric, what's your take? >> my take is, bob, you're huffing and puffing a little bit that mayor giuliani would say something like that, but the numbers bear him out, black men and women are dying a at the hands of other black men and women at a historically high rate. professor dyson did something unbelievable, i'm not sure if we caught that in the sound bite or not. but he actually said something about white supremacy to rudy giuliani. giuliani's point was, he put more cops on the street, he cleaned up times square, h

dr. dyson, thanks for doing the show. tomorrow night, i will be on outdoor assignment, as they call it. that's "the ed show." "politicsnation" with reverend al sharpton starts right now. >> good evening, and thanks to you for tuning in. tonight's lead, meet the new gop. same as the old one. the gop's new spirit of togetherness lasted about as long as one of john boehner's golf games. just a day after incoming senate majority mcconnell gave some conciliatory words about the way forward, speaker john boehner slammed that door shut when he went after president obama for his intention to take executive action on immigration. >> i've made clear to the president that if he acts unilaterally, on his own, outside of his authority, he will poison the well, and there will be no chance for immigration reform moving in this congress. when you play with matches, you take the risk of burning yourself. and he's going to burn himself if he continues to go down this path. this immigration issue has become a political football over the las

i'd like to see if any of dr. dysoniss community as i've saved. and i did it by having to use police officers in black areas where there was an astounding amount of time. if that crime was in white areas, police officers would be in white areas. or hispanic areas, they would be in the hispanic areas. i had no racial component to my determination wildfire to put police. it was determined with the context of what i discussed with bill bratten. i had a system that actually the justice department investigated and found to be perfectly fair under then deputy attorney general holder. >> your conversation with him, although it wasn't really a conversation, it was pretty heated between the two of you, just simply got started with you were citing black on black violence. >> here is what i'm very frustrated about with ferguson and all of these situation. these things happen and they are exceptions. this is like there are two blocks. in one block, 93% of the accidents occur and the other block, 3% of the accidents occur. you spend

dr. michael eric dyson is the same discussion being had in the workplace here in st. louis.ssions that had been hidden here in what i will call one of the most racist cities in america for decades. those conversations are finally being brought to light in the local schools here and within the workplace. people ever beginning to have the discussion about the elephant in the room how african-americans are treated within this community. you asked what i think the community needs. i think the government here, the leadership here needs to take an institutional approach. if you take a look at the kind of money and resources and time that we have put into gearing up for what people are thinking, maybe a riot or a race war here in the community and a school district that doesn't have buses which is right down the road. if we spend the same time and resources and dollars and put that money where it needs to be so we don't have these institutional disadvantages and problems, i think we would be having a completely different discussion here today. >> that's a message a lot of people ar
