and jay christian adams was in the civil rights division. so he was overseeing these exact kind of cases in the department of justice. >> but to say to ask for an investigation undermines the judicial system, what's wrong with that? >> no, he's saying every time someone comes back with a decision they disagree with, it must be invalid, the system must be bad, let's throw it out. he said there are going to be outcomes that people disagree with but that is our system of justice. it's better than every other one in the world where they take you out back and shoot you or hang you. >> i was going to ask you about how you see the media handling this case, will this learn from previous mistakes that has led to chaos by chasing the wrong facts and finding out things didn't happen, do you think this will be different? >> it seems to be. i was just looking at the front pages. a lot of the people at grand central last night that were doing the lie-in, they're very young people. most of them are white. i'm not against it. if they want to protest it peac

joining me now the vice presid activists joe hicks and former doj attorney jay christian adams.e'll begin with joe. welcome. >> thank you. good to be here. >> let me get your take on eric holder. he's made no secret of the fact, in fact, has bragged repeatedly in recent months that there are numerous investigations, they've doubled the number of investigations into police departments across the country as compared to what we had just five years previous. do you think it sends a message or are these legitimate investigations? >> well, this is attorney general that has shown himself to be more of an activist than in fact the kind of attorney general i think this nation needs, someone who in fact acts out the laws in a very dispassionate kind of way. and he has simply not done that through all sorts of ways. he's obviously talked about this country being a nation of cowards. he's organized with a lot of black activists around the country to get rid of voter i.d. laws, laying out his litigation strategy. he's attacked schools to say that the policies, where disciplinary policies act

former department of justice official jay christian adams saying the fact that doj is conducting separateestigations is only straining relationships between police and the feds. >> so what's really going on here is an enormous hostility toward the police by this justice department, by eric holder prejudging the facts of ferguson, by police misconduct, shawn, in a case against new orleans' police officers, by justice department lawyers who will be investigating in new york and in ferguson. they were found to have lied to a federal judge to rig the case against cops. >> new overnight al qaeda threatening to murder an american hostage if president obama doesn't give in to his demands. in a newly released video we look at luke summers on camera for the first time. he was kidnapped in yemen back in 2013. it is unclear what al qaeda is demanding but there is speculation it involves a prisoner swap. >>> the benghazi terror attack that killed four americans is that just a right wing issue for obama haters? is well that is what bloom purge ne -- bloomberg news says. >> the attack on the u.s. consu

and who better to ask than former doj civil rirgts attorney jay christian adams.question. when the eric garner case began here, and ended with the indictment, the attorney general came out one hours. we heard a lot from the president on ferguson. we've heard nothing from the administration about the killings of these two officers. vice president biden is expected to speak at this funeral here, but there's been a loud sound of silence. why do you think that is? >> don't forget the police are what separates us from the mob burning in california, looting in ferguson, killing in new york city. without the police, we would suffer from these people. that's exactly why the administration has been totally silent, because they've been on the side of the lawless up until now. it took a police killing in new york city to say anything about this. instead they're fanning the flames. the policies, leland are out of control. he appointment people in the justice department who have been on the side of attacking police. people in top doj positions. they pay hundreds of thousands t
