. >>istori sitesure generations of americans are becoming so important and this is a great honor for us and a grea dr. king. today we gather in thehite house to h memory of a great american hero reverend dr. martin luther king jr. martin luther king jr. was born there atlanta, georgia. he would go onto change the course of human history. dr. king decided to follow the calling of his father and grandfather to become a christian pastor. he said it was quite easy for me to think of a god of love mainly because i grew up in a family where love was central. that is what with reverend king

preached all of his life, love, love for each other and for our fellow americans. dr. king's faith and his love for humanity lead him and so many other heros to courage u usous ously stand up for rights of african americans. through his bravery and sacrifice dr. king opened the eyes and lifted the conscience of our nation. he stirred the hearts of our people to recognize the dignity written in every human soul. today we celebrate dr. king for standing up for the self-evident truth americans hold so dear that no matter the color of our skin or the place of our birth we are all created equal by god. this april we will mark a half

century that he was taken from us by an assassin's bullet. while dr. king is no longer with us his words and his vision only grow stronger through time. today we mourn his loss. we celebrate his legacy and we pledge to fight for his dream of equality, freedom, justice and peace. i will now sign the prok clamatn making january 15th, 2018 the martin luther king junior federal holiday and encourage all americans to observe this holiday with acts of work and community service in honor of dr. king's extraordinary life and it was extraordinary indeed and his great legacy. thank yo god bless you all and bless america. with that i would like to ask a great friend of mine, secretary

carson, remarks and then we'll be signing the very important proclamation, ben. >> thank you mr. president. it is an honor to be here today celebrating this solemn occasion. i thank you for signing legislation to designate the birthplace, church and tomb of dr. martin luther king as a national historic park. his monumental struggle for civil rights earned these places in his life, faith and death, the same honor as mt. vernon and the famous humble log cabin in illinois. this april we will observe the 50th anniversary of dr. king's assassination. i remember so vividly that day as a high school student in

detroit far from silencing his dream death brought him immortal in the american heart. his message of equality, justice and the common dignity of the man resounds today. urgently needed to heal the divisions of our age. today we honor the legacy of the man who marched on washington for jobs and freedom achieving both for millions of americans of all races and backgrounds. but his legacy also calls us to remember where these ideas, equality, freedom, liberty get their power. our good efrts alone are not enough to lend them meaning. for by what shall i be called equal to another man? it cannot be by wealth for there

will always be o richer than me. it cannot be strength for there will always be one stronger than me. it cannot be by success or beauty or any other pieces by the human condition which are distributed through providence. perhaps providence alone is the answer. we hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unailble rights tt among these are fe liberty and the pursuit of happiness. with these familiar words our declaration of independence reck can go noises the true author of our common dignity, one that is beyond every human law and institution. if we forget this source of our fundamental equality then our

fight to recognize it in our society will never be fulfilled. this is a truth that dr. king carried with him from a pulpit in atlanta to the steps of the lincoln memorial, from a cell in birmingham to the entire world. this year we will not remember his slang as the ending but as a beginning, as a moment when his truth rose stronger than hatred and his cause larger than death. as a moment when he called to new life wit creator before whom all men shall one day stand in equal rk beang no riches but the content. if we keep this conviction at the center of our word and

action, if we look upon our country men as brothers wheith shared home and common destination then instead of meaningless words we will truly create one nation under god indy visible with liberty and justice for all. we have have a word from pastor isaach newton, the nephew of dr. martin luther king. [ plause ] >> president trump, vice president pence, and to all assembled here, if my uncle were here today the first thing he would say is what are we or what

are you doing for others? that's why it was so important that my aunt coretta scott king return to congress and ask that the meaning of the holiday be changed. we did not want the king holiday just to be a day of hero worship. as his nephew i certainly think he was one of the greatest americans that we produced. it should not be a day of hero worship. that's why the congress agreed with my aunt and also made it a day of service so thate on that day -- as a matter of fact at the king center we refer to it as a day on, not a day off. not a day to hang out in the park or pull out the barbecue grill. it's the day to do something to do something to help someone

else. it can be as simple as delivering someone's trash or picking up the newspaper for that elderly person who can't get to the end of the driveway. bottom line, you're doing something that benefits someone other than yourself. that's the proper way to remember my uncle and the proper way to celebrate the king holiday. president trump, thank you for taking the time to knowledge this day. thank u for remembering that we are on this day we should be united and love for americans. thank you mr. president. thank you mr. vice president. [ applause ]

>> it is a great and important day, martin luthing jr., a proclamation. congratulations. >> thank you mr. presidt. >> thank you. [ applause ] >> mr. president, will you give an apology for the statement yesterday? >> reporter: [ inaudible question ]

[ inaudible question ] >> president trump concluding that ceremony for claiming martin luther king jr. holiday. not taking any questions. you may not have been able to quite here all of the questions but there wereariatis of asking the president's response on whether there might be an apoly of the words he used about immigration yesterday in which he reportedly used an explative for people that might immigrate from african countries. we were covering this event because of the sense of irony that many might see. senator dick durbin offered his account of what was said. we want to play that for you.

>> senator gram made his presentation. the president interrupted him severaim with questions. in the course of his excellentc said things that were hate filled, vile and racist. he used those words advisingly. i cannot believe in the history of and that oval office any president has ever spoken the words that i personally heard our president speak yesterday. >> strong words from senator dick durbin yesterday. i want to bring there peter alexander as well as chuck todd. peter, first to you. the president put out a ser ies of tweets today saying he did not use that particular word that we are all familiar with. >> i think you can describe this

as a vague denial. you heard from dick durbin, one of only seven lawmakers that were in the room. he said i never said anything derogaryher than it is a very poor and troubled country. probably should record feature meetings. no trust. it is not enough for some of the officials that representing haiti. they said basically that he is miseducated. he is facing criticism because it fits a wider pattern dating back to what sort of birth his entire political effort and life questioning the citizenship of barack obama suggesting that he was born not in the united states but in kenya.

you know the controversy following the violence that took place in charlottesville and on the first day of his campaign. it is saying that many of them were racist. the bottom line, the big picture is that it complicates the effort to try to get an immigration deal. there appeared to be some warning between republicans and democrats with a deadline now looming for dreamers to come to some deal. it makes it tougher for the white house because democrats are less inclined to help out any way. >> chuck, how many times have we done this? we were talking about the pocahontas rashes emarks and no. will this be another case where this will be forgotten? >> yes. it is possible that we move onto

another story that he may do. let's not pretend he has not paid a price. he is sitting at 35% job rating. you have republicans record high of republicans deciding not to run for reelection now that the allen c calendar flipped from 17 to 18. they would rather decide their ending before the voters do. so it's sort of a -- you go bankrupt slowly. it's never quickly. it will feel quick when it finally happens but you can always look back and ask yourself, how did we get here? we got here over a slow per yio of time. the comment the shocking because we are shocked a president has said it. it is not shocking when you say it's donald trump that said it. look what he has said on the record. look what he has said what he

has confirmed that he has said on twitter. so it is his history of this. you can make an argument that the more disgusting tng he said was complaining that there aren't enough immigrants from norway coming into this country explicit saying he almost looks at everything from the race of color of someone's skin. i think it's one o those things that yes, it will quote unquote move on as a news cycle but this continues to hurt the republican party long term and continues to erode the president's own able to be a moral authority in this country. we have a president that has no moral authority in this country. that's striking and we are only at the -- not even at the end of year one. >> always appreciate your alysis. there is a lot of fallout and a lot of reaction. we'll be gathering it throughout

the day. full coverag tonight on nbc nightly news. nbc news, new york. good day everyone. all right. we have time for one last check of the forecast. we have a lot to talk about. >> yes. there is fog out there especially at the shore. it is very warm and also very wet as you can see on the radar. this is going to last all day and all night. tomorrow the temperatures are going to be plunging. right now they are in the 60s and we could be close to 60 after midnight but by tomorrow and the eagles are playing it will feel like it's in the teens. by the end of the game feeling like 9. we do have a chance of snow on tuesday. you can see this cold spell that's going last tlau gohroughd bit of this next week. >> okay. thanks for watching. ie i'm erin coleman.

autologous stem cell transplant. unfortunately, he went on to have progressive that he would be disease. i thought a good candidate for immune therapy. it's an intravenous medicine that can affect the patient's immune system and unleash it against the cancer. with chemotherapy, i felt rough, fatigue, nauseous. and with immune therapy we've had such a positive result. i'm back to working hard. i've honestly never felt this great. ctca is very bright. the evolution of cancer care is here. learn more at cancercenter.com appointments available now.
