this is where it gets problematic with al sharpton. he is suggesting that new york city or ferguson, missouri is the jim crow south. that is a false narrative. new york city's police department is rationally mixed. i don't like the fact mr. garner was put in a chokehold and died over selling cigarettes, but he resisted arrest. the gentleman in ferguson, missouri, not only resisted arrest, tried to take an officers gun. this is after he ripped off a convenience store. >> i don't want to go through each case, but i know where you are going. i want to step back. when they get in individual spaces that's one thing, but they scare businesses. they actually scare businesses and get them to the point. >> this shakedown routine worked well for a handful of people. take the legacy of jim crow legacy and discrimination. you and a handful of friends. this is the old al sharpton. >> some things are good, some are not, i agree. >> let me add something. >> i knew him as a reporter. i'm telling you now, net net. why people of disaster to america. it

al sharpton. >> we have had enough. the issue is how a young man with no deadly threat, no life extenuating circumstances was shot multiple times. >> when you look at this whole question of racial profiling, as i said, as i said i guess in the statement that we have released, it can be misguided, i think ineffective. >> with dan te very early on, with my son, we said, look, if a police officer stops you, do everything he tells you to do. don't move suddenly, don't reach for your cell phone. because we knew, sadly, there was a greater chance it might be misinterpreted if it was a young man of color. >> the situation in ferguson speaks to broader challenges that we still face as a nation. the fact is in too many parts of this country a deep distrust exists between law enforcement and communities of color. >> we've had to literally train him as families have all over this city for decades in how to take special care in any encounter he has with the police officers. >> when will law enforcement condem

>> here is the thing about sharpton.bout his involvement. >> stop calling al sharpton a preacher. he's a cleric. he's a dangerous, extremist cleric. >> president obama, if he's serious about trying to bring racial peace to this country, the last thing he should be doing is having al sharpton sit in the white house. >> has the reverend al sharpton been irresponsible in how he's handled the ferz and new york city grand jury decisions? of course. >> there was a lot of that on cable this week. you might say sharpton wear twos hats, anchor and activist, but really it's a lot more complicated than that. he's wearing like seven hats. a preacher, fund-raiser for his organization, an unofficial adviser to president obama and other administration officials. on wednesday when that grand jury decided not to indict a police officer in eric garner's death, sharpton tweeted that he and garner's widow talked on the phone right away with attorney general eric holder. then he told his msnbc viewers about the call. sharpton is also a confi

everything that al sharpton does has a shred of violence.i can speculate on what he may have been talking about. maybe he's talking about getting a pardon on the $4.5 million back taxes he owes. maybe he was looking for a pardon for his 1993 conviction on failure to file his income tax. or maybe he was in there looking for a favor of how he will square the books away with some of his nonprofit organizations that have come under question. we know one thing for sure, there's a three musketeers. eric holder, barack obama, and al sharpton, i hate to say this. but i said this in an editorial. they've done more to set back race relations in this nation than any other group. david: even beyond that, the fact is our country, our free market system relies on the rule of law and property rights, things that al sharpton has shown no signs of defending. in fact, sometimes he's trying to break down some of those laws. >> you're absolute right. remember, people have a short memory. freddie, they destroyed that business. a solid business. they destroyed it

we all know what al sharpton is about. al sharpton is very selfish. he's very self-interested. he will use any opportunity for his own gain. mayor de blasio and president obama should know better than this. these are smart individuals. again, they laid their chips near al sharpton and now they're paying the price. if these men were to come out and publicly say that they disavow any further association with al sharpton, i think that would be a powerful moment and a powerful message to the people in the united states who want this stuff to end and who want to put this division back together again and try to repair the damage that has been done in the last several months probably since ferguson. but it won't happen until the american people and the american police officer trusts that they will no longer be associated with one of the most divisive characters. because i think al sharpton is a cartoon. but one of the most divisive characters in the history of the united states. lou: sheriff, it is great to have you with us. sheriff clark as always. >> merry christmas. lou: sony pictu

al sharpton is going to resume protests. it's the toxicity of sharpton, that wherever he goes, trouble follows. how does the mayor, what pictures does al sharpton have of de blasio. >> i don't know, i definitely don't want to see them, though, they're pretty bad. but why is it that he's allowed -- the problem is, you u're allowing people like al sharpton to control race relations in the united states of america and what a terrible job he has done stirring this up. and yet he turns press conferences into thinking about himself and that he's not safe and people are after him. doesn't he have any conscience whatsoever? or any class or sophistication? i think he just wants to profit off of deaths in this country because that's what he's doing. >> it seems to me that when a few idiots like this stand up and it is assumed that this represents us, it does not. we should be the first ones denouncing these idiots for doing what they're doing. stand up and speak out, this is not who we are, yet we're being plastered with this. and for

wayne referenced al sharpton. may make a good point. al sharpton works for nbc. owned by nbc universal. competitor of sony. can you match an day in age when sony is asking al sharpton what he thinks they should put on film? when he works for a competitor? >> ridiculous. this is all obama the fault because obama has elevated al sharpt ton someone with credibility. he allows him into the white house. it's ridiculous. this man is a criminal. and we're treating him as though he's some sort of leader. >> juan? last thought. >> well, michelle, you go after obama so much i think he must have stood you up or something. i agree with you about -- i think sharpton's a bum and i think he is -- this is about a racial politics that gets distorted and distorts reality. there's no reason to throw sharpton on this issue. the idea he's over there hustling sony tells you something about him. nobody should be doing business with him. >> what about nbc? know one's calling out nbc al sharpton, a 6:00 show. >> glad to join that chorus. i think think gave him a show as a payoff myself.

i in an instagram group-- >> i personally feel that mayor de blasio, sharpton and others like them, they actually have blood on their hands. they encouraged this behavior, they encouraged protests, these so-called peaceful protests that where people were standing out there, saying kill the cops, well, i hope they're happy, because they got what they wanted. >> there's blood on many hands tonight. those that incited violence on the street, that tried to tear down what new york city police officers did every day. that's blood on the hands, on the steps of city hall, in the office of the mayor. >> a lot of blaming going on, is it fair to blame the mayor? >> i think it's absolutely fair, it's his words, his rhetoric and he needs to be held responsible and accountability. i would be delighted if he stepped down from his position. i haven't liked his politics or his behavior. of course isn't all directly attributable to him, it is not, but he should be careful about the words that he uses and the impact that they have. they need to know that their mayor supports them, not to say that he raised

sharpton is not a critic.ome on the left, you can think of cornell west and tavis smiley, they've been very critical. >> but that's not my question. this guy with his story and his comments -- >> no, i agree. >> tawana brawley. why is the president so comfortable around the people that have the most radical views on racial issues? why? >> you know, i don't think al sharpton has the most radical views, by the way. >> no? white men were still living in the caves when we were building pyramids. white interlopers? >> don't forget you got louis farrakhan out there, black panthers. you are far more radical people out there. >> different degrees of radicals, but he's easily comfortable around people who have very radical extremist views. >> you know, that doesn't bother me so much as this -- >> no? >> i think what you point out earlier is the really pertinent fact. you look back at al sharpton's history, tawana brawley is the one that people are familiar with. but there's much more. there's much more in terms of anti

al sharpton, you know, the history of al sharpton. america, can race in america get better if these leaders continue to talk the way they talk? >> well, look, i don't think there's anything wrong with what -- if someone says here's how i talk with my son of a mixed race. but i do think if you are going to say that, which leaves the impression that there is something inherently racist about the police, you ought to then follow that by saying, i'm not implying that. i'm simply talking about statistical realities. i'm talking about respect. i'm talking about safety. and then you reiterate your support for the police, the vast majority of whom are acting heroically every day going out. you know, after 9/11, they were the heroes of the country, as they should be regarded. as we said, they're the ones who run into a building on fire when everybody is running out. and if you reiterate that and you balance it, i think that would have made a difference. and i think that's what was missing, the lack of balance, and that's why i think the police

united states should keep company with al sharpton, should take counsel from al sharpton or be seen with him. i'm just saying that would be a good first step toward a new relationship to bring this country back together and bring these communities back together in support of our heroes, the american police officers. >> sheriff, what about this? we're learning this evening that the white house will be sending vice president joe biden to the funerals of the two slain police officers. is that enough? >> no, that's nowhere near enough. again, they're playing small ball here. they know that joe biden has a decent relationship with law enforcement, but as a law enforcement officer of 37 years, i'm not going to allow them to pander to me by offering up joe biden to kind of bring this thing to a close. what they said about trashing the american police officer, trashing their honor, their commitment, their sacrifice, their service, trashing their integrity and reputation, now they're going to trot out joe biden and think that all is going to be okay, it's not going to be. it will take more t

why is he aligning himself with somebody like sharpton. and, look, sharpton is always wrong. i haven't known once when this guy was right. >> the mayor should talk to. >> everybody when he lost weight, that was a good move. >> he has biracial kids. the president, of course, black. you understand as white people you don't always understand what the thought is and what the mind set is in the black community. a bunch of white people sitting around trying to understand what the black experience is. >> all right. you know what? i will give you this point. when and you have to it admit to. >> i don't have to admit anything. >> you have to you have got to admit when you look out at the press, you see a lot of white liberal upper class co-ed's treating it like it's a spin class or yoga, they go out there just so they can feel good about themselves. they get in the face of cops and scream at cops because to them it's almost their version of medication. >> that's very funny. >> that's true. >> you want to take away protest and free speech. that's what this is about. you can't blame tha

he has had al sharpton to the white house 85 times. often when he's talking abut police issues he has al sharpton sitting next to him. if we like to have poster boy for hating the police it's al sharpton. make him a advisor you turn the police in america against you. you're going to tell the police in america we don't understand you. i saw this man help cause riots in new york i've heard his anti-police in vehicletive first half. to have a man $4 million in taxes, spent his career creating riots, phony stories abut police, i have to man sitting next to you actions speak louder than words. you put al sharpton next to you you just told everyone i'm against the police. >> garrett: what about the president's rhetoric, do you still believe his -- >> his rhetoric. if i was talking to you about ending the mafia as i did in 1980s or fighting mafia i had joe columbu sitting next to me. it wouldn't matter what my rhetoric was. i'm for the police and there is al sharpton this every cop in america is going to say give me a break i get the point mr

then he had lunch with sharpton. the guy who adds 40 million for the taxpayers, and then meets with a guy who does nothing to -- maybe he wants more attention, or there's some ulterior motive here. stay away from that guy. >> why does president obama continue to give audience to al sharpton? >> it's like the good cop, bad cop of race relations, the president tries to be the sophisticated, the calm, articulate voice to unite america, and he lets sharpton do all the other stuff. if i wanted to take the fight against obesity, partnering with crisco. it makes no sense. partnering with a man who spent the most decades creating division and pain and suffering, he has yet to face justice for freddie's fashion mart or tuwanna brawly. it does call what you're doing, your legitimate actions into question. which is a shame, because i think president obama's extremely sincere about what he wants and i think so far he's been doing a pretty good job of it. i think -- there is a reason -- that's his bad cop. every good cop has a ba

>> you know, i wonder sometimes having kind of grown up with al sharpton. new york city residence, former police officer there. the two cops, who were shot a couple miles down the street on myrtle avenue i grew up on, did al sharpton -- is he serious? i read a story today from emt, who tried to save this cop's life, and they kept looking in his eyes, he was blinking they knew he was the alive they kept saying, keep blinking. you know, does al sharpton every hear these stories, i guarantee you, tomorrow morning if there was another incident of questionable police use on force, before he has facts he will be first one out there in front of camera trying to insight another violent situation, he has a history of this, this is a disgrace. lou: he has' history? de blasio built a history quickly. president, and eric holder attorney -- top law enforcement officer in the nation, have all carried out on this broadcast we termed a campaign of ignorance, of hate, against law enforcement. and law enforcement officers. all across the country. they have been given free li

sharpton needs to be pushed out as former mayor rudy guiliani says.any help to repair relations with police mr. obama needs to end his relationship with sharpton. >> he has had him to the white house 85 times. often when he talks about police issues he has al sharpton sitting next to him. if he would like a poster boy for haiti and police it is al sharpton if you make him a close advisor the police will go against you to say we don't understand the. >> and police officers know or that it seems that obama will indeed doing as the mayor recommends. in new york city they made a statement turning their backs on de blasio. now is time for the president to turn his back on racial politics and also exploit race for the ideological purposes and to divide rather than unite to. the quotation from the evening from french philosopher montesquieu who developed separation of powers philosophy. that there is no crueler tierney them that that is perpetuated under the shield law and under the name of justice. we will be right back. mayor de blasio boo'd as c addresses

when it comes to al sharpton, al sharpton's message has been very clear. the cops are out of control. and that is not true as well. keep in mind as well, with al sharpton's message last week at one of his rallies, what were people talking about? what do we want? dead cops? what do we want? dead cops. the cops here in new york city, after this revenge murder, when they saw the mayor of new york city enter into the room on saturday afternoon, what do they do? they turn their backs on the mayor. >> one of the strongest statements -- >> i don't blame them. >> they would not even face forward, a statement there making right there to the leader of new york city which is on high alert as it comes to police safety here, how gruesomely ironic this situation is. there is a petition calling for the resignation of the nation on moveon.org. it received over 52,000 signatures in response to the murder of officers ramos and liu. the people of n.y.c. actually created this petition calling for his resignation. right now 52,000 signatures. >> they're looking for 75,000. >>

why can't sharpton be arrested for inciting riots. why isn't sharpton arrested. sharpton isn't inciting but is insippid. don in delaware, neil, i watch your show, though i am not a fan of sharpton's, you need to be aware there are many whites that are more racist, the comments about the president and almost any other black in office can be quite disturbing. people need to realize people need to be looked at as individuals and held accountable for actions. i agree with all of that, don, that is what we try to do here. those who agree with the president's policies, those who do not. those who argue by including the likes of sharpton, inciting racial tensions, those who say just opposite. my position remains the same. no matter the color of your skin. i have no issue with the color of anyone's skin. more often than not just the thickness of it. let us know how you think, apparently it's important, i remind to you friend me. that's a facebook term it means you want to be my friend. if you don't want to be my friend, you can switch on over to o'reilly and defriend him

i've been up against al sharpton for years. i'm not going to defend al sharpton. dana made a good point. you go to any of these rallies that he has and these people are believers in what he says. >> craig, really quick. >> a lot of activists and a lot on the left are demanding a discussion on race but it always has to be on their terms. you have to admit off the bat that you are racist. and the discussion on race means agree with me that you are a bigot. when you see charles barclay, you see a lot of people smear him because he's not playing the same story line. everyone can talk race but they want to silence the ones that talk the most frank about it. >> they only want to hear one position. >> not all of them. >> ahead, what your profession says about your politics. we know folks in the media of biased, right? but that's not the only industry that leans one way or the other. and, dana, we >>> can you tell a person's politics by their profession? yes. using records they were able to determine political bias by careers. people who work in the entertainment, media a

nobody in the black community voted al sharpton their leader. the media made al sharpton. nobody in the black community voted for al sharpton to be to the leader. let me tell you something, he is an opportunist he's a racist. you said president never said anything? >> that's the point, he's the president. >> one time after another. >> let me tell you something, he's never said anything he's allowed things to fester without intervening. he's allowing the tea party to be racist because they disagree with his policies. he's allow -- >> did you hear him stay ferguson, that there was no reason to riot. >> are you serious? >> i'm deadly serious. >> because it wasn't the right thing. honestly, the president of the united states you see the ferguson decision coming, you go there and you meet with the police officers involved you meet with the families involved and you don't go in there in the middle of the night. >> anything he said he's the president, anything he does is politicized. it doesn't stop him from going. he's probably on the 18th. so if he's concerned about contribute

>> the most inexplicable part of al sharpton. i don't have any explanation. maybe he has photos of these people that he is -- >> when you look at history -- you hear about martin luther king, jr. and republican leaders would meet with them to find a middle ground, not happily at the time to be fair. >> that's right. >> they met with him and he was very direct, very blunt, very clear, but i don't know. this is a whole different beast. >> let's remember that when martin luther king, jr. led matches or made speeches, it was to elevate to the highest level of human dignity, the highest level of civilization. he called on people to rise above where they were white or black and be judged by the content of their character. >> people in his own group were saying, this saint working. >> but it did work. >> going over deblasio's statement, centuries in the making and i'm thinking to myself, wait a minute. we have an african-american president, an african-american attorney general, this very city, an african-american mayor, we're not perfect but we're a long way from wh

so you mentioned al sharpton, al sharpton met with the president for the 82nd time according to reports. what is your reaction to the president deciding -- >> sean, that's so tragic. i cannot imagine any previous american president of either party welcoming an inciter of mobs like reverend sharpton into the white house, into his inner counsels for sober advice. you're not going to get it from him. and he apparently was there on the day they announced the new nominee for attorney general. it's just wrong to have a man with sharpton's background who owes us $4.5 million in taxes according to "new york times" into such privileged councils. >> after reading the testimony of the eyewitnesses here, do you think anybody that is out there that has been saying all of these incendiary things, louis farrakhan, we'll talk about that next, as i read it in my view this case never should have been brought to the grand jury in the first place. politically i understand why it was. there would never be a jury convicting officer wilson in this case. with all the eyewitnesses corroborating his story. >> th
