to play something, here's how martin luther king jr.'s nephew who was at the white house last week and met with the president responded to the question of whether or not he felt that the president was a racist. then we'll talk about it after we listen. >> i don't think that president trump is a racist in the traditional sense as we know in this country. i think president trump is racially ignorant or racially uninformed. >> would you agree with that kind of explanation? >> i know isaac personally. he's been a representative for the king family for a long time and is a good man, but i think he's just way off base here. i mean, there's no way that you can go on national television and not say that the comments that this preseident made were not only racist but awful. let's just say maybe president trump meant something different and didn't use the words that senator durbin confirmed that he said. the problem is that the american people cannot believe him because this president has a long history of making racist, bigoted comments about peo

on i think that was a key argument to convince some of the delegates here who believe probably like martin shows that the party can do more if they're in government that they can probably shape policy if they have that possibility instead of doing it from the opposition or some of those. who preferred the party not to enter another grand coalition. thomas sparrow there at the party conference in ball thomas thank you very much. so melinda the question is is it a done deal dana we going to see this in a repeat of a grand coalition is it going to take place because as you said all as pretty party members have to vote on the contract so what do you think what's your gut tell you right now in the least is it under the opponents of another grand coalition made it very clear in the run up to this vote this isn't the end for us if if the party members do agree to go ahead with negotiations we're going to take this to the people now you can bet that the yes side to the party leadership will also be taking it to the people so there's going to be an intensive campaign ahead of us we're really seeing

this was the result that martin schultz wanted it was the result he campaigned for but it was real hard stuff as the leader of the social democrats waited for this result to come in he was visibly nervous waiting for the well what was certainly not a foregone conclusion it ended up being three hundred sixty two votes in favor with two hundred and seventy nine votes against joining the coalition with angola merkel so they are going to go forward with mat but what schultz did lay out in a speech there to delegates and to a board members before the vote it was really a speech that was more pleading than it was inspirational he said there was only two options you either go into coalition with angela merkel or we have fresh elections and it was very clear which one he preferred i mean you do you know you everyone should realize the question is coalition talks for new elections my take on this is very clear i don't think new elections are the right way for us. well it was a visibly relieved martin schulz that received those results he definitely doesn't want another election in the region for

martin: is the u.s. prepared to fight today in space? general hyten: it's prepared to fight but not prepared to fight in the future. the strength we have today is based on the mass and the sheer number of capabilities we put up over the years. it dwarfs any adversary that we face, and because of that it makes it very difficult for an adversary to deny capabilities of the united states. we don't have war fighting capabilities built onto those systems and our adversaries, and you heard it talk this morning, they have been watching us ever since the first gulf war. they watched the enormous conventional power that was enabled by space and when you see that enormous capability, you have to decide, am i going to just ignore that huge advantage or am i going to try to do something about it? the chinese and russians in particular for the last 20-plus years have been watching what we're doing and developing capabilities and not secret about it. they have been building weapons, testing weapons, building weapons to operate from space, jamming weap

today it is martin luther king jr. day. now of course there is dispute as you pointed out about what the president actually said in the oval office, whether it was s-house, s-hole, it is a distinction without a difference. because the sentiment is the same. i spoke to one white house official saying the president wasn't saying it about the people, it was said about the country. the president did deny that he did use that vulgar language. a lot of questions shouted at the president here tonight when he landed on the lawn of course asking about the comments, asking about daca and the controversy surrounding it. and he ignored the questions. >> initial white house statement on that night when this story broke, it seemed to basically back up what he said. didn't directly addressed the comments per se but talked about how he is defending america. and that is his priority. >> reporter: there were similar comments reported in the new york times. >> all haitians have aids and talking about everybody in nigeria living in huts. it wa

martin luther king, jr. holiday but they have a busy week ahead, facing a possible shutdown the end of the week lawmakers will try to seal the deal on an immigration plan especially concerning daca. the president is casting doubt on a deal, tweeting daca is probably dead because the democrats don't really want it. they just want to take desperately needed money away from our military. nbc's tracie potts is live with more for us in washington. tracie, good morning. >> reporter: phillip, good morning. are they ready to deal? we have a few days left. democrats say yes. republicans say yes. president says yes. they are not on the same page. democrats and republicans have been negotiating. they've got an plan on the table that they say will create a budget, avoid a shutdown, and address daca protection for these young immigrants brought to the u.s. illegally. they say it addresses the president's concerns of what he calls chain migration, and gets rid of the visa lottery. but the president argues there's not enou

martin luther king jr. rev. martin luther king jr.: i want to talk with you mainly about our struggle in the united states and, before taking my seat, talk about some of the larger struggles in the whole world and some of the more difficult struggles in places like south africa. but there is a desperate, poignant question on the lips of people all over our country and all over the world. i get it almost everywhere i go and almost every press conference. it is a question of whether we are making any real progress in the struggle to make racial justice a reality in the united states of america. and whenever i seek to answer that question, on the one hand, i seek to avoid an undue pessimism; on the other hand, i seek to avoid a superficial optimism. and i try to incorporate or develop what i consider a realistic position, by admitting on the one hand that we have made many significant strides over the last few years in the struggle for racial justice, but by admitting that before the problem is solved we still have
