isn't jesse jackson from chicago? >> he is from chicago, but jesse jackson's got a different agenda. and that agenda is to blame whites for what's going on with blacks. chicago doesn't further that agenda. so jesse's out making hay about white on black violent so to speak instead of black on black violence. to the point about al sharpton, it's interesting. it shows al sharpton is not only making trouble, but the media helps him make trouble. you say the things that al sharpton says and you get a show on television. you say the things that i say about personal responsibility and black behavior, and you might get on "hannity" panel. which i appreciate. >> wow. wow. good night everybody. we'll see ya. >> my point is that the media continues to go back to the same individuals to speak on behalf of the black community. they're helping make the problem worse by continuing to run to the al sharptons and the jesse jacksons to speak on behalf of blacks. >> you're raising a great point. one of the reasons i started doing the au

and that's what i did. >> reverend jesse jackson was just on this program as an exclusive. dr. king, do you think that his presence at these type of tragedies helps or hurts? >> well, i think it's very important at this time not to challenge those who are attempting to help no matter what the reason or the method happens to be. it's more important to focus on the family who is grieving, the people who have actually been terrorized by those tactics of -- i think it was a military presence that really alarmed people. so rather than to challenge anything that reverend jackson is doing, i think it's very important to continue to urge for prayer, peaceful resolution. michael, his dreams are dead. and that's very, very sad. and i am saddened by that, but i'm encouraged by the reports that the young people especially are beginning to pray. >> do you think that the cops have behaved appropriately in ferguson? >> i believe it's very disturbing and surprising to know that the police officers have reacted the way they did. i do think the action of the governor was very helpful and to repl

tonight, demonstrations continue inferring son, missouri, and in attendance is reverend jesse jackson from the rainbow/push coalition. he joins us now live for a hannity exclusive. reverend, thank you so much for being here. >> very well. >> reverend, when you get involved in these type of situations, a lot of media attention seems to follow. some have been very critical of your involvement in these instances. do you think when you get involved in these instances, it could be considered a distraction? >> you know, when i brought americans home from prison in cuba and iraq and cuba and other places it was considered by some to be a life saving intervention. so there's some need here to express love to this family and support for the family, but also there is such high frustration here. it must not become a self-destructive set of actions. seven days later they release the name to the police. they did not release how many times michael was shot and the way he was shot and that compounds suspicion. they released his name and discrediting tapes about michael. no connection between the tap

you've got -- jesse jackson saying this was a state execution without a scintilla of evidence at his. >> you're talking about professional agitators when you're talking about al sharpton and jesse jackson. this is what they do. they've been doing this for 40 years. this is how they line their pockets. but they don't want to talk about the real root problem here, which is black criminality. blacks are overrepresented in this country, way overrepresented among law-breakers. if you look at arrest rates for all manner of property crime, blacks are arrested at two to three times their rate in the population. and that is what is driving this tension in these communities. that is what is driving these conflicts with law enforcement. and that's what the black leadership does not want to talk about, black crime rates. it's not just a perception based on nothing, it's based on hard data. and we need to do something about black behavior. it's tragic when you look at -- between 1976 and 2005, blacks committed an absolute majority of murders in this country, even though blacks are only 13% of the

i heard people calling and were criticizing al sharpton and jesse jackson for showing up. at the parents of michael brown requested that they come to ferguson. is suffice request enough. the other comment, i think it is a big deal or good idea to attorney general chose to visit ferguson because these have been long-standing issues in ferguson , is my understanding. but it is all over the country. there are too many black young males getting shot and killed by the police. host: what do you think jesse jackson and al sharpton, what do they add to the situation by being there? caller: there are this there i guess to console the family. which at this point in time, everybody needs to console the family. in my opinion, this sound man was shot and murdered by the police -- this young man was shot and murdered by the police. that is my comment. florida,terhaven, democrat line. caller: i just wanted to call into echo on what we were saying what is happening in ferguson and the fact that reverend al sharpton, joe madison, if they do not go to a city, there will be no light shed on

i was walking with jesse jackson.ing through the crowd actually telling people to calm down and no violence. lrstd. rod wheeler on the ground for us there in ferguson, missouri. a lot of criticism has been leveled against al sharpton for his appearance there. not showing up in chicago and growing attention to the black on black violence in chicago and other cities. searched said this yesterday. i want to get to you respond. take a listen. well, if we don't have it, i will sum rizzs it for you. >> being. the reverend said the worst is yet to come. he went on to talk about the wracial problems in that city but the funeral is yet to come. now we have it take a listen. >> let's not act like we have solved the problem because we have now had the cop marching with the marches. we still have an unarmed young man that was killed can. we're not out of this yet. we haven't even had the funeral. what happens when these kids see their friend laying in the casket? >> greatest thing has he ever happened to parasites like sharpton a

you have, i mean, jesse jackson, saying this was a state execution without a tinsela of a -- evidence in his command. >> you talk about professional agitateors, al shar sharpton and jesse jackson, they have been doing this for 40 years, this is how they line their pocket, but they don't want to talk about the real problem. it is black criminality, they are way over represented in the country. you see blacks arrested at 2 to 3 times rate in population. and that is what is driveing this tension in the communities that is what is driving conflicts with law enforcement that is what the bloc the black leadership does not top talk about, it is not just a perception based on nothing, this is hard data, we need to do something about black behavior, this is tragic whether you look at, you know cheap. between 1976 and 2005, black committed a absolute majority of murders in this country, you look at stats like, that we have to confront hem head oyou can't make excuses that is property or unemployment. -- poverty or unemployment or racism this is black behavior we need to confront head owe are no

lou: like jesse jackson and the president of the united states. what do you think?i was with you when you were talking about people who i think about mayor and act as agitators and i put them in this category. when they saw that this kid was shot according to the autopsy report, they think something is very wrong here and then the police department has failed to say here is what we think happened and here is why there might have been a justifiable action by a police officer and it's that they have said nothing and that has raised this and the waves of paranoia have existed in the level of the community. >> the fact of the matter is we don't know what happened yet and it's been 10 days. we are watching writing and a president say they are prejudging with the police department said and what i don't understand is why the community is not so angry about double the unemployment rate and having $10,000 per year will last listening to a president. solidarity would mean creating prosperity for all americans including ferguson and eliminating whatever degree poverty creates,

we saw jesse jackson and al sharpton marching there.s been other names thrown into the spotlight. rapper and st. louis native, nelly. >> you can't say you can't have. you've got plenty of options. regardless of the facts and a lot of people may think there are more young men in jail than in college. that is a lie. that is a lie. >> nelly was there in ferguson. another rapper who is going to ferguson tweeted this. "if you as a celebrity wait for cnn and fox to talk about what is happening with our community before you do, then you are part of the problem." and then "i hear people criticize reverend al sharpton and jesse jackson, but young ones need to learn and build and then move." as the ferguson unrest exposed the civil rights generational divide? cox university history professor and contributing editor says many voiceless black youth are not identifying with the civil rights leader. nice to have you on. >> thanks for having me. >> read your piece in "the root." question number one, if they are not listening to jesse jackson or al sha

they don't relate to jesse jackson. these young kids don't relate to jesse jackson or al sharpton. >> they said obama hasn't done anything for them. we got to roll. thank you. appreciate it. still ahead tonight, the attorney for the family of michael brown will join me live to react to the results of the independent autopsy, plus we're going to go back live to ferguson as the protests continue at this very hour. and later a "hannity" exclusive, texas governor rick perry will be here to respond what he's calling a politically motivated indictment. that's straight ahead. you make. it's been that way sincthe day you met. but your erectile dysfunction - it could be a question of blood flow. cialis tadalafil for daily use helps you be ready anytime the moment's right. you can be more confident in your ability to be ready. and the same cialis is the only daily ed tablet approved to treat ed and symptoms of bph like needing to go frequently or urgently. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medications, and as

you were very generous to jesse jackson in that debate. why?it wasn't a matter of being generous. the fact of the matter is that he and a number of other people of all races put a lot on the line. they risked a lot. that was a long time ago i do appreciate all theres that people make. people were thrown in jail. lots of problems. i think perhaps we wouldn't be where we are today if people hadn't done that however, we have a very different problem today. the problem today is a social problem. it's not so much a racial problem. you can take any group and you put them in an environment where there is no father figures to teach them, you know, personal responsibility and how to relate to authority. you put them in an environment where people advocate resolving issues with violence. and an environment where drugs and alcohol are easily accessible. and an environment where education is not put on the top shelf, it's the thing that you want to accomplish. and then you send them out into society. well, what's going to happen? they're going to meet up w

he was asked about somehow now kind of superseding jesse jackson after the ferguson controversy.id, you know what, just deal with it. like he is now the king of black america. is this about sharpton and the white house saying we don't like jesse jackson, we're going to make al sharpton the king of black america. >> well, what i see happening is the fact that they need someone to go to because what the administration wants to do is whip up the black voters. this is about the election, juan. obama's record is deplorable. unemployment is over 11% in the black community. average incomes are down. gas prices are up. people are suffering across the country but especially in the black community. and so obama has done nothing to help the economy, nothing to help those who overwhelmingly supported him, which is the black voter. so what he would rather do is deflect, play the race card. get al sharpton on the scene so that no one else is really paying attention to all of the horrible policies coming out of this administration, get al sharpton on the scene. and that's what they've done. i c

meerend jesse jackson joins and greg rayburn stays with us as well. to see you back on "in the loop this morning. >> good morning. >> tummy first of all, how you mel about the rate -- tell first of all, how you feel about the report? were you surprised by the results? yes, 30% black, down to the employment, 2% black, 2% this is rather racial segregation, and there should be hearings in the valley because these companies get tax breaks. they get -- they do government business. >> reverend -- segregation is a hot one word. -- but in word. do you think the ceos and management teams are purposely trying not to hire minorities and women? >> all i can go on is the they over index on purchase -- purchasing their products, and when it comes to employment -- it is not just having skills. tech. the jobs are not they are legal, marketing, advertising, a range of services, but you look at these very low unemployment records, and there have been no plan for goals, targets, and timetables, so profits are soaring, but disparity of bounds. gives me yourg, take. >> th

not they will address the crowd isn't clear at this point, but the reverend al sharpton is here, jesse jackson, as well as martin luther king iii, who is also here as well. we saw them arrive a short while ago. a very emotional event for a lot of people. as we've walked through the krounds he staggering to see the number of people coming here, fredricka, though show up this afternoon. look at images from inside the sanctuary, where people are getting ready for the event and the choir of the church singing, rallying the folks that were able to get inside, but outside, the lobby of the church completely packed. outside, you see the crowd behind me as well, and none of these people will be able to get inside. >> ed, i understand this church seats something like 1300 people, as you mentioned, it is more than standing room only. you have people outside by the dozens who will not be able to get in. what more can you tell us us about the significance of the church. was this this the family's church? nearest the location of that shooting? >> reporter: well, this is a church not too far away from the s

joining us from missouri, reverend jesse jackson, who traveled there.hank you so much for being with us. good morning.: host: first of all, the curfew put on the ground by governor nixon and what you sense in the community today. first of all,er: the police work has not been good. to removeextreme was all the police where the looting took place. it took us eight days to release the picture and the name of the .hooter the number of bullets that hit mr. and the trajectory has not yet .een released there is a tremendous polarization between the majority black and white communities and it will take some time to bridge that gap. host: the headline, "on edge in anduson," also teargas it smoke bombs used to disperse the crowd. evanescent of past experiences you have been through? yes.r: you had these strong-arm tactics taking place in birmingham and the like. ron johnson of the state police deserves much credit. even the teargas was used with , i would say, ending on that note. but i would say that quietness is the absence of noise, peace the presence of justi

and also in atlanta, reverend jesse jackson, founder and president of the rainbow push coalition. you met with the governor. you asked a lot of questions. what you heard today is this an improvement or is there still a lot of work to do in ferguson? >> it is both. it's an improvement but also a lot of work to do. we thank the governor for, first of all, putting captain ron johnson. we got a snippet of what community policing should look like when the police does not take an adversariar role and when they partner with the xhoonity. we've got an idea what that looked like. also when there's diversity in the police force. so there was a whole change in atmosphere from wednesday night to thursday night. >> and one of the things that really struck me trymaine, from wednesday to thursday and the change here is the tensions are so pent up that when this police report was issued today, as you have been reporting, the anger began to boil up again. and the anger was, i think, about the fact that it focused an the convenience store, that questions aren't answered and didn't answer any questi

you see reverend jesse jackson and, excuse me, and martin luther king iii speaking here shortly. i want to get back to cory, what lessons will we take away from there. al sharpton, i want to correct myself. >> one of the lessons is transparency has to be on the forefront. you cannot withhold public in fact because it only ipp incites the riot. if they came out with a police version within 48 hours, and actually released a name of the person, the cop that was involved in the shooting, if probably would have brought the tension down a lot soon are, and then to release a picture of him on a video tape on a robbery, i am sure - i've been a police commander - they had the video immediately after the robbery. why hold on it for five days and release it when you release the name. i don't know how they hide this police chief. he's committing a litany of errors that's inflaming the riot. that is all that has been happening with all the missteps taken by the chief of police in ferguson. >> who is holding the police accountable? >> well, who is supposed to hold the police accountable is the

the vip guests are amazing, martin luther king, jesse jackson.has been spent writing the eulogy by michael brown's uncle. >> this idea of healing is something we've repeatedly talked about for the last week or so. i'm always skeptical of that word. the town was broken from years of systemic problems. the town can't heal until there's justice. we haven't gotten an arrest yet. healing won't fully happen until things are addressed. >> charles, i read your column in the "new york times" and it was really touching. just thinking of michael brown's parents, they have a heavy burden. not just dealing with his death, but other things too. >> you have to put yourself in their shoes. it would be difficult for any of us to lose a child and to go through those stages of grief outside the public eye without your child becoming a symbol and an image, without the world looking on, and they will have to go through today with cameras trained on them, every tear that falls, every time that they lose composure, thinking about not just this is my boy, you know. not

i'm going to the reverend jesse jackson. you were with a lot of the protesters all day long at the rally for michael brown. it happened at a local church. >> it's a positive move. i don't know how the military -- they were so organized. i don't know if they had advanced information of some sort. what may have are provoke ared the protest, the teargas. we just really don't know yet. it was a positive one. >> i'm sorry. reverend jackson, i lost you for a moment there. i do want to ask you. >> i met several groups of protesters. there was no sense that there was something violent on it. i'm concerned frankly that the military was so organized and so close. we thought they were withdrawn but they were somewhere waiting to move. maybe did advanced intelligence make that move? we don't know what the story will be. the story of those on the telephone, telling people down there now. they were positive. singing, moving forward. now you have people with no intention to be involved in a ruckus. not looting stores. they are just defiant

there is a big commotion going on and that is jesse jackson is here, so people are excited that jesse jackson is here and i guess they feel like there is more of a show of strength of someone who is of some authority. so the crowd is following the reverend jesse jackson around this quick trip as he makes his way through the crowd. but yeah, they still don't believe it. they believe some video may have been photo shopped, even though there is an admission by the family, by the attorneys and even by the man who was with michael brown on the day he died. >> we'll have you stand by, don, because we'll check back with you throughout this hour, don lemon is on the scene for us in ferguson, missouri. i want to drill down now a little more on the convenience store tape that's generating so much controversy. 360's randi kaye has this. >> reporter: a convenience store saturday morning, what police call a strong-armed robbery. they say that's michael brown entering the store, white t-shirt, long tan shorts and a red cardinals baseball hat. his friend dorian johnson behind him. it's 11:52 a.m. th

what does jesse jackson have to say?l, your last guest a minute ago talking about someone who marched along dr. martin luther king, certainly reverend jesse jackson, no stranger to protests. i want to ask you though about these protests because what happens at night, they become violent. you have some people within the crowd who will, you know, loot stores, things like that. not the majority, though, it seems of protesters. what will it take to quell the situation or is that what -- what people should expect? >> people are overwhelmingly nonviolent and focused. the baseline has not been addressed in a meaningful way. michael was shot down and killed and lay in the street for four hours. seven days, the name of the police who has not been interrogated. he has now apologized. now we're in the ninth day, and the autopsy comes out and shows how violent the killing was and that compounds the misery, knowing there's more focus on calmness than there is on justice. quietness, absence of noise. there must be some discussion of w

we have the reverend jesse jackson on television. and we unfortunately have dr.arson, yes, we do have him, but unfortunately he's on the phone because the satellite transmission from colorado springs, we couldn't get to work. anyway, gentlemen, glad to have you both here. reverend jackson, i want to start with you and how you characterize the shooting of michael brown by that police officer. here you are. >> how many times was he shot, and where was he shot, and why did he lie in the street for several hours? that was a kind of state execution. >> state execution. reverend jackson, how can you say that when you really have no idea what happened in that shooting? >> well, what i did know is he was shot, shot unarmed, and shot six times. and it's a pattern, whether it was the killing of trayvon martin or the killing of the person in new york shot 41 times, i believe. the oscar grant case in oakland or the case of rodney king in l.a. at some point, we require and need -- the thing is we need to have a sense of justice. all we do know about michael brown is really he

affinity apes than human beings and this was the innuendo that was clever jokea associated with jesse jackson or three meaningsree meanings depending upon the sensitivity of people who made use of it and those of us who thought it was clever or funny have to examine ourselves whatsk it was that made that joke so funny. based upon our own experience and what we heard around the dinner table and on the schoolyard. we answer that question honestly, then an beauty, the for the beauty and subtlety of innuendo be made even more manifest. it is here to stay. know how to touch the hearts and minds of others ofthe language and choice words that they use. as a matter of fact, it is called dog whistling. whistling is a popular term essentiallythat means if you know anything about dog whistles, the pitch of it is the capacity of human beings to hear but the dogs can hear it. all right? and so it is with innuendo, the subtlemeaning of it so this only those people that have a connection with it will be it. to recognize and that is both the beauty and the danger of what he would are talking about. -- what w

we don't need jesse jackson but he does that because that benefits him. host: we have david here. caller: just to respond to the last comment. i personally wish we would drop the term race all together. i think it was an idea from 300 years ago that we're all divided in different races. we're all part of the human race in my view. in regards to the destructive nature of leftist ideology. jason, you remember the saying of the soviet union, we pretend to work and they pretend to pay us. when the soviet union collapsed, 60 percent were alcoholics. they targeted the african american society which caused more destruction. it broke up the black family. it helps contribute to that and all the problems that have followed since. guest: if you look at black outcomes, again, prior to the great society programs in terms of black labor participation rates, in terms of the stability of the black family, marriage rates among blacks in many years in the '40s and '50s exceeded marriage rates among whites. unemployment in this country. we've had a black unemployment rate that has been double the wh

i saw no jesse jackson. i saw no al sharpton. you know, i saw no barack obama, president obama making statements about this. that's his own by the way. chicago is where obama is from. he has been silent about the killing fields it is safer for young black men to be in iraq and afghanistan than downtown chicago. that's the president's home. he and his con signature larry known as attorney general eric holder have been silent. they could have stepped up on this real clear and present danger to outcome black men, but they have been missing in action. they are a disaster. and, quite frankly, they have added to the racial arson within our country. they haven't taken away from it. >> so what could they do? i mean, how do we put the lid on sort of the simmering tensions between the two races over this and get to the bottom and sort of sort out the facts and find out what happened, how it happened, and take all the appropriate steps? the president of the united states, the first elected president of the united states could have come out

are not covering what's happening in chicago and more outrage that people like al sharpton and jesse jackson do not head to the area. look, the doj is pushing this entire thing, and eric holder is one of the biggest race baiters in the country. he is -- bob -- he runs that doj like the black panthers allowing him to say. >> that's strong. >> i somewhat agree, maybe not a race baiter, but a race activist, is that okay to assess? >> you know, he said a nation of cowards, the 350,000 americans that died in the civil war, i think that they are probably not cowards. >> can i just get quick responses? the magazines in convenient stores across the country, our kids walk in and see that stuff, are kids affected, youth affected by the covers? >> that's why media matters. really, they have is a huge impact, and that, in particular, that group called, and i don't like them either. it matters, and it's striking. it turns out that the police officer did, indeed, have injuries as described by some of the reports, and i don't know if he'll make it on the cover of the magazine. >> great point. if he does, p

we've seen others like reverend jesse jackson came through here. lacey clay came out here. late in the evening that's helped temper the tone in addition to what's been going on the last two nights when it comes to this pull back of police presence here david. and one of the things that people were reacted to obviously is the release of those two pieces of information. you know we knew what they would say when they got the information about the police officer. it's something they had been demanding. but more importantly they have questioned, the release of that information was clouded 50 release of the surveillance tape. and we talked to people tonight about what their feeling was about why that was a relief tonight. take a listen what one of those people have to say. >> it got to a point it's confusing, they are trying to confuse us about their message which is wrong. what you do in the dark will come to light, basically and we all know it's wrong. tonight is more, they're trying find understanding, we're trying to understand what's going on, tonight try to understand what'

a civil rights leaders like jesse jackson have call ed for calm. but my next guest says missouri highway patrol captain ron johnson is providing the most visible black leadership. he gave a shoutout to all those that worked to make it a more peaceful night. >> the men and women and teens of ferguson, the st. louis area and everywhere else who embraced free expression and took another step toward healing and understanding tonight. >> great to have you on the show. i'm so interested in your thoughts about jesse jackson and al sharpton going to ferguson, missouri, because you believe that there seems to be some sort of a link missing there between those two gentlemen and the people that they used to serve and the younger generation of african-americans. explain. >> well, there's been a generational divide for civil rights leadership when we think of what's gone on in ferguson, missouri. when we think about the civil rights movement his r torically, it connected national and local leaders to try to transform rational segregation, economic injustice on

. >> well, jesse jackson, while you were talking before, we just saw footage of jesse jackson walking through the streets. al sharpton is going to have another demonstration on sunday. once he left, things calmed down. once we got ron johnson in charge, who grew up in the community and he came counsel, i think he has done a great job. he actually was marching last night with some of the protesters. do you know what i think we are going to end up bill probably in on your show he in three and a half weeks. the bigger story is going to be what paul ryan did about six months ago. is he like what is going oned in the inner city. why do these people feel so frustrated. would is i it that generations feel this country is not for them? i think the next candidate, the next effective politician will not be focusing on this incident. will be focusing on why one incident can blow up an entire town like this and have the whole country talking. >> well, you want me to answer that? do you have time? >> yeah. >> okay. when people are poor, they are frustrated. all right when people feel powerless the

we woke up to having jesse jackson protesting, the teacher's unions were c complaining we were for chartered schools, and leaf letting because we were for nafta. we got through it all and at the end we outlined a political philosophy with the themes opportunity, responsibility and community and put ideas like national service, welfare reform, nafta, community policing, charter schools and a growth strategy based on people in technology and trade and also reinventing government. the fourth part of our strategy was the market test. in american politics, unlike the parliamentary system you don't have a conference you decide what you stand for. you stand for what your presidential nominee stands for. bill clinton resigns from the dlc and went in and became a candidate. and let me give you three our four days you might not compo about leading up to the election that were significant. one is july 14, 1987. that was the day clinton decided not to run in 1988. he might have been elected had he ran but he probably would have been pulled down by his party and certainly not have worked with the dlc. i

graphic there when the professor at the university of maryland if presented in philadelphia brevard jesse jacksoneferred to was as warm spit. so that was the first thing. we had to set the political context of that at least the political press would say these guys have a purpose. an admitted a lot harder when the reality was on the table for the party regulars to say, well, all we do is tinkering here and there caught. the new oil is declaration, dickensian my boat. it's also called the new orleans declaration so. but the new orleans decoration was at 20 sentence document that said what we believed. we believe that the promise of america with equal opportunity, not have come to a private sector growth was important for democrats in the keating opportunity. on and on people an obligation to give something back to the country. the whole set of principles. twenty years later and i park, has the guzzles library president clinton said the new war was declaration was the key to success because it gave him both the platform and a firmer for everything he did kennedy turned every accomplishment he may ba
