martin luther king junior's home church, ebenezer ebenezer baptist in atlanta. senator, it's really kind of you to be here tonight. thank you. >> thank you so much. always good to be with you, rachelbration and commemoration that we had today at the start of donald trump's second term on the federal holiday that honors the legacy of doctor king. >> well, you know, it is a strange irony, to be sure. but for me, in a real sense, it is a summoning to this moral moment. i think that unfortunately, we americans sometimes often in fact, tell ourselves a very simple story about doctor king's work and about the civil rights movement, because we're on the other side of that history. we speak about it as if it were inevitable. the progress that is. but if you think about it, the victories that doctor king and those who fought alongside him won were quite improbable. and he had more than a few setbacks along the way. you know, even even that day when rosa parks sat down, that had been that was the culmination of a struggle that had been going on for quite some time. doctor king didn't do too well with his campaign in albany, georgia. there was a sheriff there who had studied his tactics and

reminding you there, martin, for your rachel reeves is in charge of her of tax.hought, why ask her? will you publish your tax returns so people can judge whether you're also how you're dealing with the various taxes imposed on you? and here's the question and answer that we received from her at about 10:00, 10:30 today. >> we'll reduce net migration, but taking back control means having more of a say of who comes into this country. and that's why i announced in davos last week that we're looking at visa routes for some of the most highly skilled and talented people, because i want them to see what i see in britain, which is the best place in the world to start and grow a business. so we want to attract that talent. but absolutely, we've made that commitment to bring net migration down. well, thank you for the reminder to everybody to get their tax returns. we will use that money wisely to invest in infrastructure and grow our economy. chancellors and prime ministers haven't published their tax returns in the past, and i don't have any plans to do so. 50. >> so. >
