effort by the investors in the tar sand to reach the asian market, i hear from china, maybe we don't want your dirty fossil fuels after all because they're switching to renewable as we in north america. >> got to run, thank you for your time tonight. that is "the ed show." politics with al sharpton starts right now. good evening. >> good evening to you, i'm live tonight in washington, d.c. we begin with breaking news. bold action planned by the president to reform our broken immigration system. "the new york times" reports president obama could protect up to 5 million undocumented immigrants from getting deported and he may announce his plan as soon as next week. fulfilling a promise he made in his second inaugural address. >> our journey is not complete until we find a better way to welcome the striving, hopeful
immigrants who still see america as a land of opportunity. >> the president's executive action could mock a huge step forward. and it is also setting up a huge showdown with the gop. >> i'll just say this. we're going to fight the president, tooth and nail if he continues down this path. this is the wrong way to govern. this is exactly what the american people said on election day they did not want. and so all the options are on the table. we're having discussions with our members and no decision has been made as to how we will fight this if he proceeds. our goal here is to stop the president from violating his own oath of office and violating the constitution. it is not to shut down the government. >> all options are on the table. stop the president from violating his oath of office? what is he talking about?
impeachment? and then his goal may not be to shut down the government, but it sure looks like that is what some of his members want. "the wall street journal" says more than 50 house lawmakers have signed a letter saying that language barring the president from acting alone should be attached. legislation needed to keep the government operating after december 11th, when its current funding expires. if you put that into plain english it is clear what republicans are plotting. yet another government shutdown. and some on the right are itching for it. >> quickly before i let you go? any chance you would seek to de-fund things like the department of justice, you know, other departments that might participate in this plan? that is the big -- >> we really want to fund the department. what we don't want to fund is only one thing. we don't want to fund a -- the
ability to prevent id cards and checks on these individuals and give them legal status. >> de-fund this or that agency, another budget shutdown -- it's governing by crisis and by threat. but the president won't be intimidated. he is not backing away from doing the right thing. joining me now, marie teresa kuma, thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> so speaker john boehner says all options are on the table if the president moves on immigration. what is he really talking about? impeachment? government shutdown? >> one, i think they can try to sue them again, actually they never even filed a lawsuit. >> what happened to the lawsuit? >> they decided maybe that was not such a good idea. maybe it doesn't really work to
sue the president. you could go ahead and attempt impeachment or you could attach this to something that absolutely has to go through like something keeping the government running thereby prompting a shutdown. the problem is, john boehner, they have been campaigning on this saying we're not going to have a government shutdown. we're not interested in impeachment. when they tried to attach obamacare to it, they lost that. immigration is much more popular than obamacare so you can imagine what way this is going to go. >> you know talking about immigration, maria, the president had several comments on what the immigration included. it would allow undocumented parents with american children to obtain legal work documents, and would provide more protection for undocumented immigrants who came here as children and it would create more opportunities for
immigrants with high tech skills. >> the president is providing a blueprint of what he would like congress to look at. he recognizes he can't go full force and provide relief for all 11 million. but he says we need to do something. i think the fact that john boehner is saying the president is doing something that may be unconstitutional he forgets that the president is a constitutional lawyer, very well versed. and he is not the first president who will actually take executive action to provide relief for immigrants. this type of exercise actually dates back to president eisenhower who also did something very similar, but most recently, president reagan and bush where they provided relief for over 1.5 million immigrants, recognizing they are unfortunately if congress doesn't move there has to be some type of relief. so the president is not acting unilaterally. he is calling the republicans'
bluff, saying you have to act on immigrati immigration. it is a broken system, we have 11 million people living within our borders and we don't know who they are. until you do something i will stand firm and deal with it today, figuratively, but today. >> we don't mean today, today. i'm with you, maria, you know, dana i'm hearing rumbling about a government shutdown from some republicans. but listen to this from the house appropriations chair. >> there is no one more strong than me against unilateral action than the president on this subject. however, like it has been said before, don't take a hostage you can't shoot. i don't want a shutdown. and i don't want the threat of a shutdown. because that doesn't serve our purposes. >> don't take a hostage you can't shoot. i don't want a shutdown. are we about to see a big fight in the gop between the tea party
and the gop establishment, dana? >> well, you know, certainly ted cruz has no problem shooting his policy hostages. so yes, there is going to be that struggle in there. but there is something to be said -- maybe it would have been better if the president did this early on. but there is also something to be said for getting it out of the way as fast as possible so they can huff and puff about poisoning the well and tooth and nail and red flags and everybody can go home for the holidays, and they can start again. the well was pretty well poisoned again, it is not exactly a time for any legislation to be passed. so the president is not taking that huge of a risk. >> maria, i hear you chiming in? >> i think that is absolutely correct, the well has already been poisoned. now that mitch mcconnell is the majority leader, especially since he has a more tea party senate and john boehner has a more tea party congress i think
what the president needs to do is move more boldly and quickly and provide them the space they need so they can craft a piece of policy. >> congressman tom cole told "the washington post," quote, you can issue all the executive orders you want, if you don't have any money to enforce them they don't go very far. we're going to be pretty aggressive in using the power of the purse. could they do real damage here? >> well, they have that power. that is what congress can do. but the president with veto it. and then you're stuck with the question of a shutdown and the government gets blamed for it. now, we saw what happened a little over year regarding obamacare. i suspect, that is why you hear hal rogers saying it, if the congress doesn't like it they should pass immigration
legislation if they can't get their act together to do that well they can take on the president with the power of the purse and see how it plays with public opinion. >> maria, isn't that the options? does the president move forward or the republicans ought to come up with an immigration reform plan? >> well, this is the thing, the president with move forward, the moment they provide something for him to sign, the executive action becomes obsolete. it is basically a stop gap to legislation. we have 11 million people living here in our shorthandadowshadow know who they are, they live in constant fear, and are exploited by employers. the american people are competing unfairly for wages, because they sometimes get paid under the table. what the president is saying, i will do an executive order until you give me something i can sign. >> well, maria, let's not forget the senate has passed an immigration bill over 500 days ago, i think it is the 503 day,
1200 republicans voted for. bipartisan, it is not like there is not a bill for them to vote on. >> that is exactly right, they have an opportunity to pass that. if i were john boehner i would try to pass it now when i have less tea party headaches to deal with than the new congress. he can galvanize. he keeps referring to the haster rule saying he needs x amount of republicans to pass it. haster says if he would present on the floor it would pass today with the republicans and democrats. unfortunately he is choosing not to. >> dana, bottom line for me, are we going to have immigration reform by the end of the year? >> we are going to have it. the question is, will it be a temporary one that the president will extend as long as this president is in office. or is there a long shot that republicans in congress say
fine, we'll cut a deal. i wouldn't count on it. >> dana milbank, maria thank you. >> what the president could mean for the next two years, plus, it is a big day for anybody playing for a new field. elizabeth warren just got a new leadership job. and this. ♪ ♪ ♪ it's the right wing's glory days, attacking bruce springsteen, even if it makes no sense. conversation nation is ahead.

. we're back with breaking news, president obama's historic plan on immigration. it is an issue that has confounded both parties for a generation. they have both tried to move it forward by executive action. president reagan deferred the deportation of children in over 100,000 families. in 1997, president clinton gave deferrals to 40,000 people. in 2002, the president suspended elements for green card holders. but nothing in recent history has been on this scale. president obama's plan is expected to protect 5 million
undocumented immigrants from deportation. ever since the mid-terms, the president has been clear he intends to take bold action, despite ugly rhetoric and threats from the right. >> the principles that we're fighting for -- the thing that is motivate me and my staff every day those things are not going to change. the thing that we're going to change over the next two years is the promise of the possibility of america. i want to squeeze every last ounce of possibility and the ability to do good out of this job in the next two years. >> today's news shows the president meant those words. the president came into office vowing change. we saw it with health care and bank reform. and now immigration reform
stands to become another piece of the obama legacy. joining me now is professor alan lictman. thank you for joining us. >> my pleasure. >> put this move into immigration in a perspective, how significant is this? >> this move is of great significance, but it is not as republicans have charged an unprecedented use of executive power -- >> how so? >> two things, you already mentioned smaller precedents for deferri inring deportation. but the most sweeping change in immigration was made by a republican president. herbert hoover in 1937 said nobody gets into this country unless they have the money to support themselves. that cut immigration without changing the law by 90%.
>> wow. let me read something you said a few months ago about the president's legacy. you said quote, i think obama will go down as the most consequential president in the past years. number one, the financial stimulus stopped us from sliding into another depression. how might the immigration change figure into the president's legacy? >> i think it plays into it hugely. congress, as you see, has absolutely been incapable of dealing with it. so following the precedent of previous presidents, the president is taking unilateral action that is going to burnish
his legacy and live for a very, very long time. remember, you can toss about subjects like amnesty, we're talking about 500 million real people, real families, who either have to live in the shadows. they're not going to be deported. that is impossible. or have their lives legalized in some way. >> you know, after 1995, republicans had taken control of the house that year and it gave them both chambers of congress. president clinton had to defend himself as relevant. listen to this. >> the constitution gives me relevance, the power of our ideas gives me relevance, the record we built over the last two years and the things we tried to do to implement it. the president is relevant here. >> well, professor, there is no question here that president obama is relevant. also, we saw on climate change one of the most consequential problems facing humanity, with
the congress paralyzed. let's not forget, the republicans can talk, but for six years they have not given obama a tea cup of cooperation. he has to act alone, because for all the rhetoric they're not going to come to his side. they have said openly their objective is to pace every possible defeat on this president. >> thank you. thank you. >> still ahead, look out republicans. here comes elizabeth warren. a new role could be great news for democrats. plus, right-wingers go to war against bruce springsteen. we'll tell you what they're doing and why they're totally wrong. thanks to angie's list, now it is. we've made hiring anyone from a handyman to a dog walker as simple as a few clicks. buy their services directly at angieslist.com

the day president obama took office. this year alone, 2.3 million jobs have been created. and prices at the pump are plummeting. down to an average of $2.92 a gallon. that is all great news. but to many americans, too many are not feeling it. it is because of this. for middle income workers, wage growth has remained stagnant for over a decade. and look at this. the top 0.1% owns 22% of all wealth in the country. that is the same amount that the bottom 90% of americans control. these americans, millions of them, need someone to speak for them. and democrats need a strong voice to stop republicans from pulling the rug from under them. today, democrats elected elizabeth warren to a leadership role in the senate. she will help to craft the party's positions moving
forward. her plan, to fight for all americans. >> families all across this country are struggling. we have to make this government work for the american people. and that is what we're here to fight for. that is what we're all going to be here doing every single day. that is what we're about. >> fighting for all of the american people, not just the rich. that message of fairness is central to her and to democrats. >> this is my life's work. it is what is happening to america's middle class. and it is, it is at every part of it, giving young people an opportunity to get an education. it is about seniors having the opportunity to retire with some dignity. we believe that no one should work full-time and still live in poverty. that means raising the minimum wage, and we will fight for it. the way i see this, we can whine
bit. we can fight back, are you ready to fight with me? >> thank you. >> ryan, you interviewed elizabeth warren this afternoon, what did she have to say about her new role? >> her goal here was to have a seat at the table when democrats are making decisions on what they're going to be fighting for. let's say you have eight different things they could go on, one could be the luggage at the airlines, or social security, or wall street accountability. because you know a minority caucus in the senate can only do so much. so she wants them to pick their battles more wisely.
>> "the washington post" said a key part of the gop success in the mid-terms was this, quote, the failure of the democrat's economic message to win over persuadable voters. pollsters describe this as a serious problem affecting the democratic party. that must be addressed in 2016. how will elizabeth warren dictate the economic message moving forward? >> well, one thing i have always said. it is not just about message, it is about message penetration. and what i mean by this, the reason why you heard the republicans saying benghazi over and over and over again is because to cut through the noise you have to constantly be on message, saying the same thing over and over again that you stand for, message discipline, message penetration. elizabeth warren has not once deviated from her message of economic fairness, from her message saying she wants to provide a pathway for working
poor people to move up further. she has never deviated from that message. so that is why she would be such a great advocate, because if you go here and there and everywhere then you have no message. it doesn't reach the people it needs to reach. we don't have a rich enough people in this problem, we need democrats to drill that problem home. >> elizabeth warren wrote an op-ed for "the washington post," one, before leaders and congress and the president get caught up and proving they can pass some new laws, everyone should take a skeptical look at who the new laws will serve. there is no shortage of work that congress can do, but the agenda should not be drawn up by a bunch of corporate lobbyists and lawyers. this government belongs to the american people and it is time to work on america's agenda. how will warren shape public debate as republicans move ahead
with things like the ryan budget and giveaways to big oil? >> well, you know, there will be somewhat of a push to do bipartisan things over the next couple of months just for the sake of doing bipartisan things. and so elizabeth warren is going to be at the table saying no, we're not going to do this bipartisan thing just because the other party wants to do it. it also ought to be something that is good for people. so she will be trying to argue the opposite approach. now, we did a survey after the election that asked people two questions. they said what did republicans run on? and your perception, what did democrats run on? voters said overwhelmingly the republicans ran on the economy. democrats, meanwhile, they ran on social issues and women's issues. this is something elizabeth warren can kind of flip. she constantly talks about economic issues. you can explain how it is with voters who agree on the economic issues vote with the republicans. even though they agree with the
democrats because they said oh, well, the republicans are the ones talking about the economy. now warren will talk about the economy. >> jared, you talked about getting the message across, ryan has not been afraid to take on republicans. watch this. >> you may remember senator cruz is the guy responsible for last fall's government shutdown. talk about a financial genius. i have to tell you, given what mitch mcconnell has been doing in the united states senate the way it is just block, block, block, no, no, no, paul ryan says don't blame wall street, the guysings who made billions cheating american families. that may be ryan's vision on how america works but that is not our vision of how this great country works. >> i mean, she doesn't pull any punches, tara. and one of the things that just annoys me beyond words is the other democrats that have shown no back bone or stand-up.
will her presence in the leadership get some of them to go toe to toe and to stand up to stand for something? >> i think it absolutely will. i mean there are always going to be a few rogues in the party which we always have. but some people out there say this is a ceremonial position. that is being portrayed by some folks. and i will tell you this, elizabeth warren is not the type of person who will allow herself to be marginalized or not have a seat at the table. so when you give her a seat at the table she will force democrats who are scared, let's face it, some democrats are scared to run on what we are as democrats. but she is going to force them to have the take a stand. i think when the effectiveness of had her strategy is seen, yo will not see a level of tax against her as much as you will other democrats, because people like her and respect her and know she is authentic.
and i think she will force other democrats to come in line on many of these issues which will make sense. it helps the country. >> you know, some say americans don't feel good about the future of the country, exit polls last week. what has to happen and what can elizabeth warren contribute to that happening? >> so governing is moving away from congress and towards the executive branch and towards the judiciary. elizabeth warren's position in leadership gives her more power to influence these regulatory agencies that will have more impact on these people's lives every day. >> thank you both for your time this evening. thank you. >> straight ahead, president obama is ready to act on immigration and republicans are threatening a shutdown. is it a good strategy? plus, the governor of arkansas is pardoning his son. is it fair? or is it special treatment?
and the right wingers rising up to slam bruce springsteen. it makes no sense. we'll debate it next in "conversation nation."

joining me tonight, host for entertainment weekly radio on sirius xm, julia cunningham, and william charles, thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> we start with the big political news. president obama's executive action. as we mentioned, "the new york times" reporting president obama's immigration action could protect up to 5 million undocumented immigrants. and already the right is threatening government shutdowns and impeachment. what do you think of the president's strategy of pushing ahead even if it causes friction? >> well, i think his strategy is one of which someone who is trying to get something done for the country. i think he has tried all along to work with congress with respect to trying to pass immigration reform and he has been successful in doing so. and whether or not he is sort of
going to draw fire from republicans for doing this. i think president obama is darned if he does or doesn't. so i think this is a way for him to try to get this done. 5 million people's lives and families are impacted by the failure for immigration reform to sort of go through. >> maybe he is damned if he does or doesn't, but we don't know if we don't try. >> he has done that -- >> wait, wait -- >> he has not done that in the final two years of his administration while the republicans controlled both houses of congress. there is a vested interest with mitch mcconnell and john boehner to actually have a congress that does something, to go into the 2016 elections to say we achieved something. now, maybe they can't rein in the tea party or ted cruz, but give them a chance. if you blow any chance right now, they don't have a chance for collaboration. >> but all they have to do is
let the house and senate vote on it -- >> you know, look, let's treat this as a recess and at least offer a possibility of the glimmer of hope in the bipartisanship. if obama is going to be remembered for doing anything in the last for years of his presidency, they can't all be executive actions -- >> let me get julia because i want to move on, the senate already voted that bill, but go ahead, julia. >> we need to make a splash right now, this is something that is important to people and something he can make a splash with. and i think maybe acting a little rash might be a good thing. >> all right, now to bruce springsteen, under fire from the right, all stemming from a concert this week. he is saying the classic vietnam era anthem, "fortunate son" that deals with the class issues and the draft.
>> oh, they tell you time for war ♪ >> those criticizing him said quote, the song not to put too fine a point on it is an anti-war scream. taking shots at the red, white and blue. and bruce, tone deaf. and then came this. bruce springsteen headlines an anti-war song on veteran's day in front of our vets. so much for hbo's concert for valor. >> nobody had the brains to stop and say you guys might want to pick a different song. >> how come he couldn't pick a song that was not derogatory? >> it is unamerican to say this is unamerican, this is a song you do at an event like this, the song is not anti-war. it is in some ways but really is about saying the people who fought for us that are back home need to be treated with respect.
that is the point of him singing the song was. a lot of times in terms of the music it is about not having that option. like it was a practical thing to go into war, not just because of the enthusiasm into war, and that is what has been show cased with bruce springsteen singing this song. i thought it was fine. >> but josh, the republicans on the right that criticized, did they hear the song? he talks about senators' kids being able to duck the draft -- he is not talking about the -- >> this is a song that is pro-soldier and anti-tragedy that we put military families through. unless you believe that the pentagon is always consistent with what is pro-american and is always operating in the interest of military families and always makes the right call then it is ridiculous to say this is anti-american. it is pro-american because it is pro-freedom. >> well, i personally don't see
what is the problem with a song being anti-war. who wants to be pro-war? i think the point of the song is to go into war cautiously and be overly abundant with caution before we send our families into the military. and with honor, the people who served in the armed forces, i think it is a wonderful thing. >> it is about having a bit of nuance with our relationship and the military. >> but julia, is it something that we could consider that bruce springsteen has now become a supporter of democratic candidates and causes, isn't there some partisan nuance here? >> sure, that is a fair statement. i mean, he is definitely aligned with certain parties but at the same time he is also associated with certain strengths and that is lyricism, and so he took this
song and it meant something. and rihanna was there performing hits, that wasn't necessarily it. you have bruce springsteen coming to an event like this and he doesn't do something political i would be disappointed. >> all right, josh, let's move on from one son to another, let's go to arkansas governor mike beebee's son. he will pardon his son for prosecution with marijuana and intent to deliver. in a letter wrote, he said at the time of my arrest i was living in fantasy world. not reality. i was young and dumb. i am asking for a chance to be a better son to my parents and to prove to them i am the person they raised me to be. the governor has pardoned more than 700 people, he said, and this one is no different. >> if they straighten up to get
their life back on track and have a second chance, so this is no different. it is different because it is my son. >> josh, is this legitimate or special treatment? >> it seems to be legitimate, much as i would love to jump on this guy and scream nepotism? i mean, his son doesn't give up his rights because he happens to be the governor's son. and if this were the case, the governor has pardoned more than 700 people over the course of his governship. we can't treat him unfairly. >> it should be noted there were nine similar cases pushed through. i think his kind of slipped under the door, if that happened it would be shady, this seems to be legitimate. >> this is all absurd, this is nepotism, if this doesn't smack
nepotism, i just don't know. >> why? >> because it is his father -- >> you want him to stay behind bars -- >> you always want to make decisions that don't appear as though there are appearances of impropriet -- favoritism. >> they do -- >> some pay the price for the fact that he happens to have a governor for a dad. >> that is what nepotism is, you get a special favor from a family member. >> wait, wait, wait, the appearances of a conflict of interest that is troubling, or because he has pardoned 700 people, but i am sure there is a lot more. so is the appearance at all a factor here? >> talking to me? >> yeah. >> it is not the -- it's the appearance and the actual fact. and the fact that he has done this, i think what it does is it
sends this message that hey, i'm in a position of power and i'm going to do this for my son. what he should have done is taken the better decision and recused himself and not done this at all. >> all right, i have to go. please stay with me. up next, when the billion dollar divorce is not enough. that is next. hey matt, what's up?

one billion with a b, we told you how oil tycoon harold ham and his wife are divorcing, the 28th world's richest man, a judge ruled he must pay her $995.9 million. but now, her lawyer says quote, sue ann is disappointed in the outcome of this case. she dedicated 25 years as harold's faithful partner in family and business. she plans to appeal the court's decision. what is the legal angle? does the wife deserve more money from this divorce? >> well, i was here two days ago and we spoke about this case. and what i did was outline what courts look like when they look to do divorce settlements. what they look at what was the spouse's contribution during the course of the marriage, and often times, it is half. i mean, you can't after 25 years
of marriage say your spouse didn't have something to do with what you have achieved during the 25 years. >> but you said often, which means it doesn't have to always be that way if they determine you did something with half -- >> it is almost always the case, the court looks at it this way, she was an attorney and worked at the company for a long time. but what the courts are going to do if they recognize there is a value that a spouse brings to a marriage, and usually it is half. and frankly she is entitled to half. i would be surprised if she gets half, though. >> josh, would you take the billion dollars and run? >> i would take the billion and run to rio for the rest of my life. it would be fantastic, you set aside the legal implications, just the morality of this, the legal implications in the united states is very different in the
united states than other places? we have to ask ourselves, are we femini feminists? do we believe women can make the same -- a billion dollars for not having done any work? >> what do you mean not done any work. you ask any married couple, that is a lot of work. >> we have to run -- >> hard working poor women don't do as much work? >> just admit it, josh, julia -- >> reverend, it is the fact she worked as an executive, she didn't just work at home. josh, she worked as an executive in the marketing department. take off all the zeros, if they were splitting ten, would she get five? yes, she deserves $9 billion, will she get it? maybe, and i don't know if necessarily she needs it but yes, she is entitled to get it. >> we got to go, thank you, all,
julia, josh, josh disagreed a lot tonight. i think he has an al sharpton complex. we'll be right back with the reverend martin luther king jr.'s secret war. like 50,000 bonus points when i spent $5,000 in the first 3 months after i opened my account. and i earn 5 times the rewards on internet, phone services and at office supply stores. with ink plus i can choose how to redeem my points. travel, gift cards, even cash back. and my rewards points won't expire. so you can make owning a business even more rewarding. ink from chase. so you can. i have a cold. i took nyquil but i'm still stuffed up. nyquil cold and flu liquid gels don't unstuff your nose. really? alka-seltzer plus night rushes relief to eight symptoms of a full blown cold
including your stuffy nose. (breath of relief) oh, what a relief it is. thanks. anytime. because i make the best chicken noodle soup. because i make the best chicken noodle soup. because i make the best chicken noodle soup.
for every way you make chicken noodle soup, make it delicious with swanson®. finally tonight, a disturbing revelation in the fbi's secret war against the civil rights movement. and in particular martin luther king jr. the fbi wiretapped him and smeared him as a communist, and worse. the letters were sent anonymously, and written as if it were from a disgruntled former supporter but really was written by the fbi. they called him an ignorant, abnormal beast. there is one way out for you, you better take it before your
dirty, abnormal self is banned from the nation. one way out, the clear suggestion is that dr. king commit suicide. the director of the fbi, jay hoover, made no secret that he hated king. he fought harder than ever and hit back at hoover directly. when the fbi director called him a liar in public he hit back. >> well, i was quite shocked and surprised to learn of this statement from mr. hoover questioning my integrity. and very frankly, i don't understand what motivated the statement. the only thing that i can see is that mr. hoover is probably faltering under the awesome responsibilities, complexities and demands of his very important office. >> i remember discussing the letter with martin luther king
