i yield to my good colleague, he honorable john lewis. mr. lewis: i want to thank my friends for yielding. thank you, mr. evans, and i thank you the chairman of the c.b.c., sed rick richmond. it is true that i grew up in rural alabama, 50 miles from montgomery and i was in a little place called troy. my father was a share cropper. but in 19 4, when i was four years old and i do remember i was four, my father saved $300 and a man sold him 110 acres of land. we picked cotton. we gathered peanuts, we got corn. and sometime i would be working out there in the field and i would fall behind and my mother said, boy, you need to catch up. and i would say this is hard work. and she said hard work never killed anybody. and i said it's about to kill me. but one day, 15 years old in the 10th grade i heard martin luther king junior and i heard rosa parks in 1955. the action of rosa parks, and the words and actions of dr. king inspired me a way to get in the way. two days later i wrote a letter to dr. king in 1957. and i told him in this letter at i wanted

were you john lewis? i said, dr. king, i am john robert lewis, but he still call me the boy from troy. this man is tire inspired me tod in theind a way to get way or find a way to get in trouble, good trouble, necessary trouble. to set if you want to go to troy state, we will help you, but we may need to file suit against the state of alabama, against troy state. go back and have a discussion with the mother and father. tell them the home may be bombed or burned. they could lose their land. i went back. my mother was so afraid. my father was afraid. so i continued to study in nashville. from time to time, dr. king would come and visit and speak at rallies. but he inspired me along with rosa parks and others to get involved. he led the montgomery bus boycott. more than 381 days. people walked the streets. rides.hared cars and they stood in unmovable lines. but they never gave up. dr. king inspired us to stand up. he inspired us to believe in the philosophy and the discipline of nonviolence. so we will be sitting in at

martin luther king said are you john lewis? said, dr. king, i am john robert lewis. he still called me the boy from troy. this man inspired me to stand up to find a way to get in the way. you can watch the rest of man lewis' speech here on c-span. was created byan your local satellite provider and is brought to you today. >> facing a challenge over whether the policy of removing an active voters from ls is aation rol violation of federal law? who does not respond is removed from the rolls. this argument is just over one hour. your argument in this morning -- we will hear the argument this morning versus the randolph institute. mr. murphy? >> may it please the court. congress passed to serve competing goals. increasing the number of registered voters but decreasing the number of in notable ones. this congressional compromise is evident in the mandates. it requires states to undertake programs to remove ineligible individuals but place limits on those federally mandated removal programs, including the

john lewis, congressman lewis, knows so many of my uncle's words it is better if we would communicatewith the president, and to boycott the state of the union address. is not going to begin to resolve the problem. connell: let's bring our guest in trump national diversity coalition executive director, bruce lavelle. good to see you, sir. >> happy king day it was a beautiful day. i was at church with my sister alveda king this morning. connell: a conversation to have on this day, whether or not president of united states is a racist, he chose to come out over the weekend, saying i'm not a racist. what do you make of where we are? >> i am biased, i have been with him since the beginning. you know there something, you know earlier you had speaking earlier, i was a witness myself, 2015 trump tower, in front of 100 pastors on 26 floor with that time candidate trump, he spoke, he said one thing, when i become president, i'm going to protect the pastor's ability to speak out of the pulpit without any government coming in and overreaching, for congressman lewis to say, respectfully, i don't a

among them veteran congressman john lewis, watch. >> we must take care of these young people who know america as their country. it's the only country they know. it's not fair and it's not right and it's not just to do otherwise. i for one will not vote for government funding until we get a deal on daca. >> harris: the president is warning that any shutdown could hurt the military, you just heard congresswoman mick sally making a very strong case for that, saying she has been telling democrats herself. when you hear john lewis talk like this, coupled with the fact that he's going to boycott the state of the union, what is your reporting telling us? >> these are the kind of threats democrats have been issuing since december, that they were going to withhold their vote on any kind of funding mechanism unless daca protections were attached to it. we heard bernie sanders, kamala harris, cory booker use this kind of language before the holidays and now that we are getting to the point where there is another cr on the table, a third one because there hasn't been consensus on defense spending

what can i say about john lewis, whose moral guidance, whose bloody brow, was never bowed? i thank you, congressman lewis, for the straight talk, but the loving talk. to my colleagues that are here, i know that each will have a moment to allow me to take just a moment to be able to offer my tribute in commemoration of dr. king's life. what a powerful year we face in 2018. and i'm so grateful to have left 2017. and i believe that this gives a fresh look to america.

will you follow john lewis' lead? >> well, look, i have absolutely no desire to question john lewis' tactics, his tactics are what made this country a more perfect union and allowed me to go to the best schools in the country and allowed me to vote without knowing how many bubbles of soap or jelly beans are in a bar. but he said, yes, i would follow. i will think about it over the weekend and talk to constituents and talk to the cbc and make a decision. but you don't want to sit there and listen to a man put on a show at the statement of the union and say a whole bunch of things he does not mean and that he won't live up to. and you know how he really feels about the people you represent. and primarily myself. i mean, you know, i'm an african-american male, so when you talk about the discrepancies in the judicial system. that affects african-american males. so the short answer is, yes, i would consider following john lewis and not attending the state of the union. >> congressman richmond ahead of the black caucus, tha

later this hour we'll have more of my interview with georgia congressman john lewis. we'll talk about everything from the president's controversial remarks to oprah in the oval office. but after a quick break, donald trump snubs america's biggest ally announcing he's cancelling a trip to london and blaming it on president obama but folks across the pond aren't buying it. >> he's got hundreds and thousands of people that will be here peacefully protesting against his visit. because of his racist news. i take pictures of sunrises, but with my back pain i couldn't sleep and get up in time. then i found aleve pm. aleve pm is the only one to combine a safe sleep aid plus the 12 hour pain relieving strength of aleve. i'm back. aleve pm for a better am. people keep asking me if i miss the mayhem?stuff, does waiting around trying to protect your house from a lighting strike give me the same rush as being golfball-sized hail? of course not. but if you can stick to your new year's resolution, then i can stick to mine and be the best road flare i can... what? you couldn't even l

. >> on this martin luther king holiday, john lewis was on the the view today. let's listen to what he had to say.

now john lewis, of course, if every democrat in the house was to follow john lewis's example there anddemocratic votes on this, paul ryan showed in december that he could muster enough republicans to get over the hurdle to fund the government at least for a short-term kick the can down the road thing until they work it out. it's on the senate side that's the big question about democrats. will chuck schumer be able to hang onto some red state potentially vulnerable democrats from states like north dakota or indiana that donald trump won by a huge margin. will they be willing to shut down the government over not having a deal on daca? the democratic base may demand it. this is why i think you will see the democratic leadership really trying to grapple with whether or not this is the moment in time to really do that and fear the backlash and blame. but placate the base. or to move ahead and fund the government in hopes of getting a deal down the road. >> deadline is friday. we'll talk about this every day until then. david chalian, thank you for that. >>> coming up, my next guest was brus

with most people, they just don't see john lewis giving a speech, they feel john lewis in terms of what he's done and the impact on this country, so therefore they listen.

. >> this time last year john lewis led the charge of 50 democrats who refused to advance donald trump's inauguration. a former white house chief strategist said to take the stand today to testify behind closed doors as part of the house investigation into alleged collusion between the trump campaign in russia. he will likely face questions about michael wolf's explosive book file and fury in which bannon is quoted in a meeting with russian lawyer treasonous. the white house communications director could testify friday. the white house is set to release details about donald trump's first physical exam as commander-in-chief today. doctor ronnie jackson said donald trump, who is 71 years old is in, quote, excellent health after his checkup friday but will provide a more in-depth update, presidents are not required to undergo medical exams. and this is a horrible story, fox news alert, disturbing coming out of california, they are calling it a house of horrors. several children found starving, change to beds. the parents arrested after one of their brave dollars escape to call police. the h

well, john lewis's district is the city of atlanta.lack entrepreneurship and city of atlanta are synonymous. >> it seems like you're negating your own argument because he believes it. >> in his ignorance he believes what he says, and, therefore, it means that's what's in his heart. >> new york city i wouldno, i w he thinks he knows something that's what's in his heart. he can be misinformed from a source that he considers credible. >> isaac -- >> yes. >> -- he's the president. he has an obligation to be informed. and you know what? ask a very similar question. george wallace said he wasn't racist. he's unaware. so, that doesn't make you less racist because you're aware or you deny your racism. you're saying what he said to john lewis, maybe over the years he's done some things -- he promoted the whole racist birther movement. mexicans are racist. he wanted to shut down muslims from entering the country. give me examples i can go through. how much more evidence do you need? because even some klan members don't think they're racist. ther

listen to what john lewis said on abc. >> we must take care of these young people. must take care of these young people who know america has this country, the only country they know. it's not fair, not right and not just. we must not give up or give in. we must press on a gated deal. cheryl: this is john lewis who is in famed for his dedication in this life or the civil rights movement say we do want a deal on daca. >> i think what president trump is doing if he came out and say don't worry dreamer's daca is safe, not going anywhere. the democrats would say daca is on the table, let's start pushing for more demand before we come to the table. president trump by keeping the starting point's daca will happen the democrat don't feel as comfortable demanding more things. so the bullying tactic hopping. >> something like that. more rhetoric than real estate. also interesting to see the strategy with the midterms coming up they are really banking on this immigration issue been something that gets people out to the polls. think about whatever your opinion about daca how in

of course, john lewis didn't go to the president's inauguration. there's been a lot of back and forth since, tweeting "congressman john lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart, not to mention crime-infested, rather than falsely complaining about the election results. all talk, talk, talk, no action or results. sad." those rang out widely at the time. what's the fallout been from those comments in the months since? >> you know, the president just talks, talks, talk. those of us in atlanta know we have a great city with great facilities, or this football game wouldn't be held in atlanta. >> right. >> so, that's just more of the same from this president. we will have -- we welcome the visitors to come to atlanta for this game. we welcome the players. you know, they have a lot at stake. they all serve at the pleasure of their coaches. and as the previous speaker said, you know, they have a lot on the line. they've been wanting to be here for all of their football lives, and we wish t

martin luther king, jr., congressman john lewis know so many of my uncle's words, i remember all of thegressman lewis did in 20th century, in civil rights movement, i marched and wept to jail too, so i'm asking the congressman to lead us in a unifying effort so to be crying and disgruntled and angry, that's understandable, i mean, i'm not going to knock that at all but it's better if he will go ahead and communicate with the president and to boycott the state of the union address, it's not going to resolve the problem. so i believe that we are going to have to call for unity, protests have their place, you know, there's a word in the bible, there's a time in season for everything but there's a time that you get past that protest and nonviolent process of communicating and resolving for a win-win situation. jillian: let me ask you about this, in the past few days the racism term has been thrown around a lot in regards to president trump. do you think that's fair? >> i don't believe it's fair in the case of president trump. i consider president trump to be a leader with this understanding

. >> reporter: john lewis believes trump is leading a reversal of racial policies. >> they're black, they're white, they're latino, they're asian americans, native americans, and they look like the dream and act like the dream of dr. martin luther king, jr.. we've come so far, we have may made so much progress, and i think this man, this president, is taking up back to another place. >> reporter: the president has denied the claims. kentucky senator rand paul says that mr. trump's comments are unhelpful but says he is not racist. >> i think it's unfair to draw conclusions from a remark that i think wasn't constructive, is the least we can say, and it's unfair to paint him as a racist when i know for a fact that he cares very deeply about the people in haiti. >> reporter: president trump says any deal on daca must include money for the border wall and changes to immigration policy when it comes to chain migration and the visa lottery system. in west palm beach, florida, fill keating, fox news. >>> here at home, california attorney general joined congressman john lewis in calling the p

here is what congressman john lewis said about that. >> it's unreal, it's unbelievable. it makes me ad. it makes me cry. as a nation and as a people we have come so far and made so much progress. we have some so far and made so much progress and i think this man, this president is taking us back to another place. >> do you think president trump is a racist? >> i think he is a racist. >> so that question is central because is that effecting his policies? trump supporters and critics keep saying the president is who he is. he showed this side as a candidate and he still won the presidency so it does beg the question how much do voters care about this? >> i think it is certainly an important piece of trumpism. this is not a movement of people that are driven by convictions about the size of government and the proper level of marginal taxation. their demographic anxieties at the heart of all of this. this country is changing, becoming more diverse and a lot of people in the united states particularly americans of european ancestry are uncomfortable with that. that is one of

waitrose and john lewis had a good christmas, john lewis in fact said that black friday, the day whenbut this time both of them went down, so a real concern for them, they will be hoping for a boost from meghan markle wearing those clothes, hopefully that will be reflected in their new figures. but house of fraser, we know it is struggling on the high street, trying to find its way, work out what it is, a civil picture for debenhams, their sales we re picture for debenhams, their sales were down pretty sharply too. sales down nearly 3% in the weeks before christmas. they have already said they will reduce how much space they have in those stores, may be close basements and top floors, reduce their rents, but a tale of two halves, one is that did well and ones that are struggling. that's this morning's main news. carol will tell us what's happening with the weather in five minutes' time. lots of fog everywhere, be careful if you're setting up thriving this morning, more details later on. —— if you're thinking of driving this morning. the mayor of london has warned of dire consequences

john lewis, maxine waters.thers say donald trump is a racist, we will not countenance him as president, basically he's not our president and they are not coming. what does that do to forge a bipartisan deal on the dreamers or immigration enforcement, that type of toxicity? >> i can't speak for my college. i will be attending and bringing an evacuee from puerto rico who is now here in florida to highlight how we still don't have power down on the island in a lot of areas, but i think if the senate can bring something over to the house that sean and speaker ryan and others will have the opportunity will to pt their two cents about what they want and let's get a vote on the floor on it. but i think we will all be listening to the state of the union, at least those of us in attendance, to see if there is any reconciliation message or any additional input. >> laura: how do you reconcile -- i don't mean to interrupt but how do you reconcile with people who run out of a meeting, a private meeting, and their effort is

john lewis has performed unbelievably well right the way through this term, and although its figurese will see pretty solid results from john lewis when it reports this week. and a final impression overall ofa week. and a final impression overall of a high—street‘s performance? because i was hearing some reports saying, you can have lots of contrast, for instance, zara on the high—street is doing really well, and asos online. what is going on on the high—street? and asos online. what is going on on the high-street? over christmas it is difficult to tell, because we haven't had enough figures yet. it is true online is growing fast, but so are the online sales of these store based retailers. so i think if you look longer term, the combination of stores and online is going to be a very powerful one indeed. but somewhere like asos competing at the younger end of the market with young, dynamic management, i think probably does have an advantage at the moment. it's a new format, it's new and exciting, but online certainly has some way to go. but i think it would be ridiculous to suggest th

on both sides. >> and with that, let's bring in congressman john lewis from georgia. a leader in the civil rights movement who marched side by side with dr. king more than 50 years ago. congressman lewis, thank you for joining us this morning. let me start by asking you, how do you square the president's speech about martin luther king on friday with the comments he made behind closed doors on thursday? >> george, i don't think there's any way that you can square what the president said with the words of martin luther king jr. and what he said about dr. king. it's impossible. there's not any way you can do that. it's unreal. it's unbelievable. it makes me sad. it makes me cry. as a nation and as a people, we have come so far. we have made so much progress. here in georgia, when i visit schools, whether it's elementary school students, or middle school students. they're black. they're white. they're latino, asian-american, native american. they look like the dream and act like the dream of dr. martin luther king jr. we have come so far. made so much progress. and i thin

john lewis out there at the scene. this is a water main break that occurr traffic now able to get by in each direction. traffic north and southbound to and from takoma park squeezing by to the right. you will find that we have a water main break on wheeler road with water getting -- with trafficking by each way. there is a portion that is tied up. coming out of hyattsville from yesterday's water main break, authorities tell me that repairs continue this morning, southbound lanes are closed. finally in virginia, between north washington and north columbus street they are still tying up the lanes there. largo town center and mount linen square, orange single tracking between new carrollton and chevrolet. that is our traffic watch. back in the next 10 minutes to take a look at the right on 66. adrianna: right now a school in bc is in the dark. kramera pipe burst at middle school in southeast. that is where sam is live. a lot of cleanup this sam: larry, it is a major response here at kramer middle school. this arctic air w

john lewis. and earl blumenauer. rec of the great state of oregon. not going to go.l: listen, first of all, the good news. the upside of all of this is that every member gets a guest ticket. so there is going to be more tickets, more seats available for those constituents. so call your congressman, you may want to go to the state of the union. steve: always looking on the bright side. rachel: look, i couldn't have disagreed with president obama more on his collective policies. and, yet, i packed up all of thigh kids and went to his inauguration. not because i love obama and his policies but because i love america. i think this is a time, the state of the union is a time when people come together and i think this shows a real lack of tolerance. steve: no kidding. brian: that number will grow but i don't think it's going to be a big story by the time it comes up. especially if they can get a deal funding the government. at least a two week cr to postpone. maybe the heads are too hot right now and maybe disagree to fund the government for two more weeks and go back to n

always outperformed as the john lewis.lers that are pretty good at what they do and outperformed. the market made the mistake of thinking it would be reflected across the board, and it hasn't. mark: when it comes to brick-and-mortar versus the internet, is this debenhams, other department store retailer, if you -- is it a bit broader? >> a bit both. next and john lewis were both strong online. has particular problems. the stores -- many of them don't look good. it is a for righty store. it has lots of different departments and can look quite muddled. the problem was really in gifting. that wast have enough special enough for customers. vonnie: i'm looking at the website now. taking an excuse to look at a website. but it is all apparel, right? there's not that much more to debenhams. >> actually, there lots of other things as well as apparel. it should of done pretty well. it is a big beauty offering. but apparel was pretty much ok. apparel has been pretty steady. where it has struggled is in the christmas gift items. said

here's sound from kirstin nelson and john lewis earlier today. >> we need to fund our troops.we need to protect them and increase homeland security. these are vital security interests we ahead at to fund. to tie them to a daca deal where the expiration date is in march is irresponsible. >> i for one will not vote for government funding until we get a deal on daca. >> the key here is that republicans are going to need democrats to get any kind of budget deal passed. democrats are using that as leverage to get something done on daca. the deadline officially ends in march. there is a lot of pressure on both parties to get something done. they do have to come up with a compromise by friday at midnight. if not, we may see what some have suggested. another continuing resolution. a bill to kick the can down the road and keep the government funded as they continue this debate over dreamers and immigration and other issues like childhood insurance funding. martin? >> thank you very much. a republican congresswoman and a democratic congressman are offering harsh assessments of the slur

the fact black people -- >> john lewis. >> probably john legend, as well, but he went after john lewis, come on. >> i think we can also remember, by trump trying to tell black folks that i've brought down unemployment, he's also trying to link it to the immigration piece by pitting blacks and immigrants against one another, by basically saying these immigrants are stealing your jobs. if i kick them out, you'll do better. that's not how it works and i think black people aren't falling for that either, especially from a racist president. >> i was going to say something pete mentioned about getting a rise, what was interesting what we heard in terms of the generational gap and how important they considered racism to be, especially when it comes to the election, so where a lot of people who were, you know, kind of had this more mature, they said we feel unempowered, powerless, like it's open season on us, but a lot of the younger black voters said hold on, this is making us more enthusiastic, we're going to turn out the polls in the midterms and next election. >> it's a good thing, you wan

>> i agree with john lewis. i think that if dr. king were alive, he would be at the front lines of fighting against trump's divisive policies we see practically every day coming out of the white house. instead, donald trump decided that he was going to be golfing on his exclusive golf course, golf club today, instead of having a day of service like most presidents have had on both sides of the aisle. this is unbelievable after making racist comments that's wh he decided to do. today, lawrence, i was in michigan and spoke at the university of michigan for the mlk symposium. while i was preparing to make that speech, about 40 miles away in detroit, there was a 39-year-old man, jorge garcia, who came here when he was 10 years old, undocumented and because of the crack down of the trump administration, he was being deported. he had been in the country for 30 years. he was saying good-bye to his wife and two kids. that's what was going on while donald trump was playing golf. people are being deported across the country be he doesn't car

john lewis, though not quoted, when they come out with christmas trading next we're they will probably have done better than the whole street, because they're about 40% of sales online we're seeing a structural repositioning going on which has to do with the companies trying to reposition themselves because they recognize their current store numbers are too high for the way the market is going. >> holding on to stores that are profitable and expanding into online retail, who will be the losers this year who will crash an burn, do you think? >> i think what you always find with retail is it takes longer for these trends to work their way through into -- >>> who are you looking at then who is behind the curve? >> i think most of the companies i follow are behind the curve on technology in terms of -- >> that's a uk thing, you think? >> yeah. we have some great virtual retailers, like asos and dotcom, but -- and john lewis, but the traditional guys, you know, are playing catch up. >> they're not matching the pace at which online is growing in the market >> we'll leave it there. thank you

. >> reporter: civil rights activist and congressman john lewis responding to accounts on thursday about a propose yes, ma'am -- immigration deal, the president saying why are we having all these people from expletive countries coming here. the president has denied makes those comments. now some of his closest supporters deny he ever said them at all >> are you saying the president did not use the word that has been widely reported. >> i'm telling you he did not use that word and it's a gross misrepresentation. >> reporter: they are trying to seal a deal with democrats to spare hundreds of thousands of young immigrants from deportation. they say it should be a broader part of funding the government. brian clark, abc news, new york. >>> americans celebrate the achievements of dr. martin luther king jr. abcnews reporter lilian kim asked the question, where do we go from here. she joins us live now. >> reporter: dozens turned out for the secelebration at grace cathedral. it's more important than ever to remember the words of dr. martin luther king jr. he died 50 years ago. and here at grace

. >> and congresswoman, john lewis, congressman john lewis, civil rights legend, is not going to the state of the union. are you going to go? >> oh, no. you know, i didn't go to the inauguration. i didn't go to the joint session that was held after that. i don't intend to go to this one. why would i take my time to go and sit and listen to a liar, to someone who lies in the face of facts, someone who can change their tune day in and day out? what does he have to say that i would be interested in? i don't trust him. i don't appreciate him. and i wouldn't waste my time sitting in that house listening to what he has to say. he does not deserve my attention. >> congresswoman maxine waters, definitive as always, thank you so much for your time tonight. >> you're so welcome. >> for more on the fallout from the president's racist comments, jelani codd. you heard the congresswoman say she's not going to go and sit in that chamber. the next question then would be, should democrats continue to sit across from donald trump and negotiate daca or anything else with him? does it make sense to keep
