the voting rights march from selma thealabama, today marked the martin luther king holiday without mentioning president-elect donald trump or his own declaration, the soon-to-be 45th president was illegitimate. >> stand up. speak up. when you see something that is not right and not fair and not justin, you have a moral obligation to do something, to say something and not be quiet. >> reporter: mr. trump lashed out at lewis on twitter over the weekend, accusing him of ignoring his atlanta congressional district and being all about talk, talk, talk, no action. today mr. trump met with dr. king's son, martin luther king iii at trump tower. >> i would say john lewis has demonstrated that he's action. as i said, things get said on both sides in the heat of emotion. >> reporter: bernice king, dr. king's daughter, was more blunt. >> if god can do it during my daddy's time, god can do it in

"couldn't do much worse," he tweeted. "just look at syria, red line,

buildup of russian nukes. not good." instead trump suggested he would deal with russia by offering what he called good deals. for example, if russia reduced its nuclear arsenal, the u.s. could lift anti-russia sanctions. sergey mark qof, and analyst and spokesman for vladimir putin, told us linking the two issues makes no sense. so the offer of lifting of sanctions in return for reduction in nuclear weapons is a non-starter? >> absolutely not. it just wrong idea generally. >> reporter: trump also repeated that he thought nato was obsolete, but he didn't say if he will reverse the u.s. neighbor toe troop buildup in eastern europe right along russia's border. if he doesn't, warned markov, russia will have no choice but to respond. >> we will have to make our army
