and to his left we have doug greene luau who is the vice president and the regional executive for asia, the lockheed martin company. he is responsible for leading lockheed martin's business area to facilitate and unify the corporation's operational and functional strategies across its full portfolio within asia. and his responsibilities span from india to korea, but do not include japan and australia, if i'm reading this correctly. so he is very laser focused on that area that includes korea. previously he was a vice president of international strategy at lockheed martin and has a long career in industry, culminating in his current job. and to his left is mr. yong sic yi who is a managing director and leads the advanced pilot training development at korea aerospace industries, kai, another one of our conference participants and sponsoring organizations. he joined kai in 1988 and started his work as a share contractor on the korean trainer experimental, which developed into the t-50 program which is now operating around the world. and he'll be acting as another one of our discussants. at this point i would

. >> doug, i've got to point out president trump was recording a statement for martin luther king, jr as this story was breaking about his remarks. he said trump gets away with so many gas in part because he is white, critics say. they describe him as the incarnation of the white backlash against the nation's first black president. no obama, no trump. so do you agree with that? >> now that the martin luther king weekend is upon us, i don't think donald trump has any right to even mention the name martin luther king. he knows nothing about him, nothing about his historical legacy. as you well-known dr. king's letter from the birmingham city jail, you know, pleading with southern pastors, ministers, speak up. what's deafening tonight is the silence coming out of the grand old party of lincoln. they're just sitting this one out. it's inconvenient for some, and i think that trump needs to pay a very heavy price for this and the republican party, i think, really needs to distance themselves really quickly. >> he has no right to speak the word king and also no right to speak the word haiti.

. >> doug weed, good to see you as always thank you. >> thanks connell. >> now on martin luther kingday the democratic congressman john lewis himself the hero of the civil rights movement says that dr. king would not be happy with what he calls trump's america. we heard from dr. king's niece more to come from her, defending the president once again and trump national diversity coalition executive director bruce lavelle is here to respond after a quick break. y. moderator: nice to meet you. have you ever had car trouble in a place like this? (roaring of truck) yes and it was like the worst experience of my life. seven lanes of traffic and i was in the second lane. when i get into my car, i want to know that it's going to get me from point a to point b. well, then i have some good news. chevy is the only brand to receive j.d. power dependability awards for cars, trucks and suvs two years in a row. woman: wait! (laughing) i definitely feel like i'm in a dependable vehicle right now. woman 2: i want a chevy now. woman 3: i know! yes or no?gin. do you want the same tools and seamless expe

doug brinkley, is that odd to you? >> well, leave it donald trump to boch martin luther king day.tche ses all of these events he has no real understanding of dr. king and doesn't read king's writings, he might remember bits and pieces from the i have a dream speech. to him it's a day off today. it's not a day of reflection on civil rights on the long battle for equal justice in the united states. so to me i wouldn't expect anything less of donald trump and worse yet, history is going to be talking about martin luther king weekend when we're dealing with that whole -- controversy in denouncing african countries and haiti and the like. it will will be morphed together showing an continued insensitivity to the plight of people that aren't white in the world. >> i mean -- >> i think it's not surprising -- >> i don't know what to say. >> it is upsetting. it's a president who now has a year on his record and much of that year has been about elevating rhetoric about racial politics, about immigration politics, which is the an to my knowledge tij sis of what march kin luther king fought f

>> one other piece of news that jonathan martin, maggie's colleague at the new york times reported douges of alabama is now a yes. you have four red state democrats come over. that is going to keep happening. normally everything is trump and we get that, this is one instance where republicans of the house passed this, there are republicans in the senate -- there's enough democrats and you can't get to 60 votes because of the democrats, i think that the blame game is something the republicans are winning right now. >> i want to go to phil mattingly on capitol hill, what are you hearing? >> just walk-through what happen, wt we talked about ten minutes ago. this three week option was on the table. it was run by democrats in the closed door meeting, the result of that meeting, you're looking at it on the screen right now, senate republican whip coming out, john cornyn and saying, flat out, no deal, mark short saying clearly, we think we need 13 or 14 democrats, and at this moment we don't have them. that is a result of the democratic meeting that is going on right now behind closed doors, t

martin, thank you very much. now a look at some of the other stories we're following in tonight's evening newsfeed. vice president mike pence swore in two new senators today, alabama democrat doug jones, who won a special election for the seat once held by attorney general jeff sessions; and minnesota democrat tina smith. she was appointed to replace al franken who resigned over allegations of sexual misconduct. a 25-year-old man accused of setting up a deadly swatting prank appeared in a los angeles courtroom today. tyler barris will not fight extradition to kansas. the police say he made a bogus 911 call last week that sent them to a house in wichita where an officer mistakenly shot and killed an innocent man. gas prices will go up again this year, according to gasbuddy.com, a gallon of regular will average $2.57 in 2018, the highest since 2014. rising oil prices are to blame. there is much more ahead on tonight's cbs evening news. >> reporter: there's dressed to kill and dressed not to be killed. i'm talking about armored clothing. >> glor: a passenger forgot to pack his patience. >> reporter: could elephant seals know each other by name? researchers studying the animals on
