here is the reverend sharpton. i think of donald trump and here on s marched saturday, kicking off king weekend, thousands of us, the icy rain. there were the fact all kinds of predictions about showed se weather, we anyway. how ronald out reagan once called martin luther ronald ommunist and reagan ended up having to sign to make the day a federal holiday. > the same ronald reagan that denounced dr. king is the same to make that signed today a federal holiday. the dent elect trump in spirit of ronald reagan ought to lewis.ohn he ought to deal with the issues of today. be king to on king day like like -- don't act like a pawn if made a king. it is time for us to get bigger than that, that is what dr. king did. i hope he reaches out to john lewis. he, senator booker, would at some point, congressional caucus. i hope campbell, he will meet ith all civil rights leadership, but not photo ops, to deal with issues we marched about, voting rights, the criminal justice reform, police reform, as well as jobs. in serious time

i've known reverend sharpton for more than two decades. we had a lot of fun when he ran for president. you are right. i was chairman of the national party. a lot of people try to keep him out. they said he couldn't come to the debates. i said as long as i'm chairman of the party, he's going to be at every single thing and every that every other candidate would be at i said you go get them out one of my best moments was going down the street of detroit michigan visiting barbershops. that was an experience i will never forget. the man is a true legend. he even had me sit in a chair and they had me give a little haircut there. it's an honor to be here with you today. martin luther king said life's most persistent question is what are you doing for others and that's what i think about every day as governor. how do you use your power and what you do for people. i want to thank all of you in this room, many of you help me get elected governor. i broke a 444 year trend to become governor of the commonwealth. it was a long hard fight. whoever wins

anne it's one of the things al sharpton said. you can't be little. if when you're entering the white house, it's time to be big. i think one of the concerns with donald trump is that he's still very much in campaign mode and he has to move from campaign mode, confrontational to basically saying we are inclusive and i am going to president for everyone. but what al sharpton said when 12 came to what are his priorities for americans when he's talking about nominating attorney general sessions, it's completely the an tip thinks for someone that is going to protect the rights of the poorest and the most vulnerable among us. >> on the issue on civil rights right now with this administration coming in, jeff sessions as maria notes is the likely attorney general here. what differences should we anticipate seeing between the way a donald trump administration looks and the one that's been governed by president obama? his mess achblgs pessimistic. he kept on saying what do you have to lose? could things get any worse? he painted a very dark picture of inner ci
