dr. carson. also the president today reverend martin luther king's -- >> i pledge to do everything i can to continue that promise of freedom for african-americans and for every american, so important. nothing more important. we're going to bring this country together, maybe bring some of the world together but we're going to bring this country together. but we have a divided country, it's been divided for many, many years, but we're going to bring it together. i hope every day of my presidency we will be honoring the determination and work towards a very worthy goal. >> with me now paris denard, and keith boykin. gentlemen, nice to see both of you. paris let me begin with you, we heard shawn spice characterize it as eye-opening, i know you weren't there, several members of the administration were, what was that like for him, and why choose that location for the final condemnation of the anti-semitic threats in this country? >> yeah, brooke, i think it was an important visit for the president to m

dr. ben carson. we are going to talk about what he is doing there. remember, he was scheduled to be there a month ago for martin luther king day. there he is today. we have the best team in the business to talk about this this morning. i want to take you first to kristen welker live at the white house. how much of this visit is really about reaching out to the african-american community, many who have been skeptical about the administration from the beginning and it's getting worse over the last few weeks? >> reporter: that's a component ability about there this, there's no doubt about that. one, african-american history month. that's part of the reason the president wanted to visit the national museum of african-american history and culture today. at the same time, you are right. i think that this white house knows that one of the constituencies they need to do a better job of reaching out to is the african-american community. it's a community he struggled with during the campaign. as you pointed out, recently, he raised eyebrows with the comments h

dr. ben carson to help those in inner cities. those african-american communities in need of help, a promise he made on the campaign trail. he also singled out alveda king, the niece of dr. martin luther king jr. he brought her. now we watch the president walking out there with the group that he's toured with. he did not take any questions. let's bring in our panel and talk more about what we just heard from the president. back with me, joe johns at the white house, mark preston, ron brownstein from "the atlantic," and jackie kucinich joins us, washington bureau chief for the daily beast and bruce lavell, director for the president's national diversity coalition during the campaign. nice to have you all on with us. mark preston, let me go to you first and your thoughts. >> presidential, subdued. pointed out, of course, the contributions that african-americans have given to this country. specifically those who helped lead the fight for equality and equal rights. as far as the criticism he's come for not directly addressing the anti-

dr. ben carson, interestingly enough, dr. as accepted the gouda position, and during the campaign, it was tough, it was gritty. but they came together, meeting of the mind, he and senator tim scott, they are the national trump coalition, diversity coalition, there are many african-americans about coalition who really just like the same things that i like. the pro-life plan, the economic plan, the education plan, the safety and security. everybody, every american, the american dream is still alive. so, the fake news, calling him a racist, that has to stop. >> bill: we hope it does, ms. king. thanks for coming out tonight read re-combat, two california police officers gone down. one is dead. but for some reason, authorities were reluctant to say anything about the gang member who allegedly committed the murder. that report moments away. the future of business in new york state is already in motion. companies across the state are growing the economy, with the help of the lowest taxes in decades, a talented workforce, and world-cl

dr. ben carson with him, a member of the cabinet and they're standing in front of an exhibit that shows dr. carson in his scrubs talking about him and his accomplishments as one of the foremost neurosurgeons in the world. continue on the new nsa director leader there. it is interesting because we've heard a lot on his background about a the fact he doesn't go with the flow, he maps out his own strategies and not afraid to speak up when something does not sound right to him. he wants to have a plan and doesn't want to just go along to get along. how important do you think that will be in shaping the president's military strategy in all those hot spots you mentioned? >> if there is one quality that is consistently in short supply in washington, it's integrity. that's one thing that jim mattis and h.r. mcmaster will bring to the party. his book, dereliction of duty, is really about essentially the responsibility of the military to do the right thing under difficult circumstances. so there are a lot of practical issues but he is also going to bring a fresh perspective on something else that ha

dr. ben carson and his wife, senator tim scott, alvida king, the niece of dr. martin luther king jr., lonie bunch, david skorkin executive of the smithsonian and others. some of the exhibits the president was traun to included the section on harriet tubman featured a shawl given to her by queen victoria in the late 1800s and the courageous contribution of african-americans that have made it to the united states military and the president was pleased by the muhammad ali with the quote "i shook up the world" prominently displayed. he enjoyed viewing with dr. and mrs. carson the exhibit dedicated to his extraordinary life. alveda king who never viewed the museum's exhibit on the uncle the president was honored to share this experience with them. he looks forwa to returni again to honor the contribution of african-american leaders. this afternoon the president will have a routine classified national security council briefing in the situation room in addition to his presidential daily briefing which he received earlier this morning. this evening the president will h

dr. carson. step in the right direction. individuals working on things pertaining to historically black colleges and universities. that's another step in the right direction. i think you have to give credit that efforts are attempting to be made. i believe visiting the museum and learning more about the culture and history and things that african-americans have gone through, you would hope that the president in time of reflection learns more about the critiques towards him from the community and hopefully have a better understanding of those critiques and make him a better person. >> as the late joan rivers would say, can we talk. >> sure. >> let's talk about this. great he visited that museum. that's perfunctory, all presidents do that. you should. >> learn a lot. >> but this president as candidate as been tone-deaf for issuesificatio issues facing african-american community. been criticized for that. is there someone to say this is not right way to say that. not just accurate. african-american community not just urban blig

carson -- who's nominated to be the next secretary of housing and urban development. t trump cited the >>> president trump marked the start of black history month today. alongside the president drben carson the next secretary of housing and urban development. president trump cited the contributions of blacks in u.s. history including dr. martin luther king, jr., frederic douglass and rosa parks. >> this month we honor the tremendous history of the african-americans throughout our country, throughout the world if you think about it, right? and this is one of unimaginable hard work, sacrifice and faith in america. >> president trump also said he is proud we now have a museum of black history and culture in washington, dc. >>> new at noon, former vice president joe biden and his wife are launching a new foundation. the biden foundation will focus on several issues, among them ending violence against women, the middle class and protecting children to be staffed by former biden aides and funded by tax-free donations. >>> it's still unknown if mavericks will be called off this year and perhaps beyond. the event's organizers cartel management and "titans of mavericks" filed for chapte

dr. carson brought this up, labor participation for minority uses a really very low.there is an article about that from a year and a half ago. even if you look at labor anticipation from 16 to 19-year-olds from every race, you get historic lows this year, and that goes back to when the recording of the data started in 1998. so fewer young people are working. if your objective is to bolster and support the union andnd you are not thahat concncerned about whether young people will have entry-levevel jobsbs, you shoulb protesting in n favor of a $15 mininimum wage. i think most people are concerned about young people in this country, and fewer people are concerned about this labor. juan: that was andy puzder in 2015. last year in an interview w wita business insider, labor secretary nominee puzder sang the praises of restaurant automation. he said that machines are "always polite, always upsell, never take a vacation, never show up late, never a slip and race or in age, sex, or discrimination case. in other words, robots are completely docile workers as far as he is conc

dr. carson. to me that is a step in the right direction.at there are individuals within the white house such as ohm roegsa who's working on things pertaining to historically black colleges and universities. >> bruce levelle, who's -- >> correct. that's another step in the right direction. and i think you have to give credit that efforts are attempting to be made. and for me personally i believe visiting the museum, learning more about the culture, about the history, about the things that african-americans have gone through you would hope when the president is in his time of reflection he learns more about the critiques that were remedied toward him by people of the community and hopefully he'll have a better understanding of those critiques and that will make him a better person. and i believe he probably will do that. >> as the late joan rivers would say, can we talk? let's talk about this. it's great that he visited the african-american museum. >> it is. >> that is sort of per perfunctory. all presidents do that. they visit museums. >> he

dr. carson personally, although we look forward to working with him.e've always had a very close working relationship at zillow group with hud, fha, fannie, freddie, the treasury and the white house, so we'll certainly be working with the hud staff, and hopefully, the secretary, once he gets confirmed. you know, the partnership between zillow group and housing experts in d.c. and in state capitols has always been important. we're an important voice on housing because of the size of our consumer audience, so it's important for us to work with government to shape housing policy. >> spencer, moving on to the immigration ban, temporary ban that the president has tried to put in place by executive order, is going through the courts right now. i know that seattle is a very diverse tech hub. a lot of the companies there have come out against this. what exactly is the objection from your perspective? i mean, i know lots of people say the rollout of this executive order was basically botched, but there's also an argument that congress has delegated this power t

dr. ben carson. after the tour president trump addressed the bomb threats that were phoned in to at least 11 1 # jewish community centers nationwide overnight. > this tourist a meaningful reminder of why we have to fight bigotry, intalance and hatred in all of its very hated ugly forms. the antisemetic threats targeting our jewish community and community centers are horrible. and are painful and a very sad reminder of the work that still must be done to root out hate and prejudice and evil. > the fbi is investigating those bomb threats. > right now, giant panda baoboa is on her way back to china. in fact we're going to show you how she spent her final hours at the national zoo today. you may have seen this one online. yes, that is a box of trash. the maryland mom who sent it to her son at college explains why her son is also dishing up some dirt, too. > hey, sue. i would not want that to go viral. but i know it did. you know what else is going to viral, the temperature. it it is going to be remarkabl

dr. ben carson for housing and urban development, just to name a few? i could go on and name every single one of them and i am proud to stand with each one of you. this is the a-team. i say with great confidence knowing the men and women he has assembled around us, president trump has assembled the strongest conservative cabinet in my lifetime. bar none. [applause] mr. pence: with in this team, we have conservatives have an opportunity that only comes around every few generations. or maybe just once in a lifetime. my friends, this is our time. mr. pence: this is the chance we have worked so hard for so long to see. this is a time to prove again that our answers are the right answers for america. a strong military, more jobs, less taxes, respect for the constitution, and the values that have made america great in a deep and abiding faith in the goodness of the american people. mr. pence: history will attest, every time america produces a leader that build on this firm foundation, our nation reaches heights that once seemed unreachable. and let me assure

dr. ben carson, an exhibit about dr. nd his neurosurgeon garb and some of the history of carson's ground breaking efforts as a surgeon. all of those things will be on the president's mind. what he wanted to address the press about today is anyone's guest. they've given us no guidance on what to expect. a lot of possible topics. we'll have to wait and see. >> yeah. carson's part of the museum. john lewis has an exhibit in that museum. another well-known d.c. figure head who trump has had run-ins with in the past few weeks. the other thing is this report in the hill over the weekend citing lindsey graham whar, tha ryan plan for tax reform wouldn't get ten votes in the senate, as the debate over the longevity of border adjustment tax continues. >> yeah. i don't know if ten votes is an actual count or not, or if that is rhetoric, but there clearly is tension between the house side and paul ryan, who has a very different vision for tax reform than what they'd like to do on the senate side. typically in these cases, what you ha

dr. ben carson. as i said, the soft bigotry of expectations. that's real progress, when a mediocre black person can get there as well. he's been known to separate twins, can he separate himself from that madness. the reality is, this is an administration that doesn't feel compelled to know, hasn't been made to know. let's be honest, white supremacy and whiteness itself is the ultimate fake news. the stories you've told each other, i'm trying to say, tell the truth. finally they get it with donald trump. i didn't write this book with donald trump in mind. i think he's the literal face of white innocence, white power, the inability to take seriously one own's privilege, and to ask a person of such stature to think about it is an extremely difficult but not impossible job. i think many white brothers and sisters looking at him go, i finally get it many as i say, frankenstein is the name of the doctor not the monster, the monster was created by a system, paul ryan, eric cantor, john boehner. it led to the creation of this monster, he turns around a

dr. carson and i did when no one else would. we went back and talked to the folks there. they're looking for? they're not looking for black solutions. economic solutions. education solutions. they want to start a business. get ahead in life with their lives under the american dream. stuart: do those people around the table, left-hand side of your screen, do those people think of themselves as hyphen eighted americans or americans? >> not ones i know. i would care to venture most of them don't. the fact you're black how you're born. emac born a woman. tammy born a woman. ashley, you and i born men. after that up to deal with the issues what really matter. the dollar is green so to speak. it doesn't care what your color is. if you don't have enough of it, earn enough of it with a good education, how do you get ahead in life whether you're black, hispanic, male, female, whatever the case may be. solve the problem. stuart: how will this be received in the black community? so obviously different from the political that we've seen before? >> well, okay you mentioned victims. no

dr. ben carson and his wife, senator tim scott, alveda king, the niece of martin luther king jr., the museum director lonnie bunche, dr. david, the secretary of the smithsonian as well as others. the president commented several times during his tour about how impressed he was with the museum. some of the exhibits he was particularly drawn to included the section on harriet tubman which big mac featured a shawl given to her by queen victoria in the late 1800s. the section of the museum that feature the courageous country of america in the mack african-americans to the military and the president was particularly pleased by the mahal valley exhibit with the quote "i shook up the road" prominently displayed. the president also enjoyed viewing for the first time with dr. and mrs. carson the exhibit dedicated to his externally life. similarly, alveda king had never viewed the museum exhibit on her uncle, the president was honored he was able to share this experience with the two of them specifically. the president further express his appreciation of the tour and says he looks forward to returning

others, hud secretary nominee, ben carson and his wife, candy carson, and we were given other names, including al sraeta king, who is the niece of drking, as well as mr. scott, and ben carson's family, including his grandkids expected to be there also. this is a visit to the museum set up by presidential aide, am rosa man galt, and it was pencilled in on trump's schedule before he was inaugurated mid januaryish, and it was nixed, we are told, according to a source by the secret service citing security concerns. so this is an opportunity for the president to get to this very popular attraction in washington, d.c. that only opened back in september of last year to some fanfare, and since then it has taken in about a million visitors, and very hard to get a ticket. so the president and a group of african-american folks from here in washington, d.c. are all going to the museum, and don't know if we are going to hear from the president, but he is there. back to you. >> joe, let's bring in our cnn political director, david chalian. what does the trip mean? what issues are supposed to be raised? do we have any indication of how the white
