dr. martin luther king jr. of all the forms of in equality and justice, inequality and health is the most shocking and inhumane. so please understand dr. king and his context and to bring his name up when we dropped bombs on syria and afghanistan, this man who was a pacifist, is beyond the pale, and i hope you have empathy. >> what he was fighting against was a democratic party that was created as a culture of race from supporting slavery and segregation, those were democrats he was fighting against, bakari, those were democrats. >> i want to give you the final thought. >> for me, anderson, when i saw jeffrey's clip this morning i was more than disappointed. this is indicative of where our political climate has gone, you hear them rewriting history and this is so fundamentally unjust, this is intellectually dishonest, an epidemic of anti-intellectualism. and even more important from somebody like jeffrey they need to know it's disrespectful. it's an affront, and i will not let it go. >> i will not let it go eit

dr. martin luther king jr. fact is -- >> i agree. >> and the fact is from february 1, 1960, when the students at north carolina decided they were going to sit in and they started something amazing with the sit-in movement to ella baker and samuel hamlin and all the many heroes and sheros that we lost along the way on this struggle, the fact that you want to compare donald trump, who was trying to find -- to meet some political promise. >> i didn't do that, bakari. >> to meet some political promise is astounding and even more astoundingly absurd. the fact is this, jeffery. in our political discourse, we have to remove these hitler and nazi comparisons. donald trump is not martin luther king jr. we have taken this to a place where it doesn't need to be. and i hope that you're empathetic enough to see how disrespectful this. >> jeffery, i just don't understand the intellectual idea in the comparison. again, the whole manufacturing a crisis thing. i don't see how they're the same. >> that's because they're not. >>

dr. martin luther king jr. memorial. >> it was really a fun family friendly service project. that was the best part about it. it didn't feel like work. people just jumped in like where do you need me? and that was the beauty of this project. >> obviously, this monument is related to one of our members, dr. martin luther king jr. we came in, we swept, and, we did what we needed to do to make sure the monument was clean. >> it was a more than 60 fraternity and sorority members participated. >>> but we heard a rumble of thunder. so what's going on? >> a couple of showers coming through. these are not anything close to severe. but, a little lightning. rain, some folks are happy to clean out the pollen in a few areas because it is very high. >> i can tell, allergies. >> not the fun time of year. so let's talk three degree guarantee time. high of 74 we forecast. i upped it. good thing i upped it because we hit 77. so barely a hit. but it's a hit nonetheless. 85. 85 is my three degree guarantee temperature for sunday.

dr. martin luther king jr. and president trump, a comparison. here it is. >> i want to say something here i know i will probably drive someone crazy. but think of president trump as the martin luther king of health care. >> oh jeffrey. jeffrey. >> when i was a kid president kennedy did not introduce the civil rights bill because he said it wasn't popular he didn't have the votes for it et cetera. dr. king kept people putting people in the streets in harm's way to put the pressure on so that the bill would be introduced. >> jeffly are you do under you do understand that dr. king was marching for civil rights because people that looked like me were being beaten dogs 16 on them basic human rights being withhold from the people. >> imgts lot in equate dr. martin lugtser king jr. a nobel peace price dine to vagina grabbing president donald trump. >> wow. >> never forget. never forget. >> that was morning tv so simeon hey i got to commend you underjeffrey dr. martin luther king jr. is a civil rights hero did you realize what you were saying. >> dr. kin

dr. martin luther king jr. ty injustice and health is the most shocking and inhumane. i think when people -- you can't just talk about dr. king and whitewash him and eliminate the context. and that is what we're talking to you about, jeffrey. you can't say it's the same tactic but one was talking about taking away health care and one was talking about making sure that black citizens had equality. >> narrator: law. you can't look at this in a vacuum. even more importantly, i think that the level of political discourse that we have and whether or not it comes from you or whether or not it comes from sean spicer or the president of the united states is xreenlly low in this country right now. and that is the trouble that many people have. many people are agas by the fact that you can make a comparison between donald trump and martin luther king jr., snag that is unfounded. >> i did not do that. >> you did. >> jeffrey, let me ask you something. you have three people you work with. three people of color. and -- >> no.
