LIKE.
THIS IS PRESIDENT TRUMP'S FIRST 
MLK DAY IN OFFICE.
AND WE WANTED TO DO SOMETHING 
SPECIAL TO COMMEMORATE THAT.
SO WE WENT OUT IN THE STREETS 
THIS AFTERNOON AND ASKED PEOPLE 
WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON IN THE 
DONALD TRUMP-DR. KING TWITTER 
WAR.
[ LAUGHTER ]
OF COURSE DR. MARTIN LUTHER 
CHA 
KING HAS BEEN GONE FOR 50 YEARS 
BUT DID THAT STOP PEOPLE FROM 
WEIGHING IN ON THIS IMPOSSIBLE 
FEUD?
NO, IT DID NOT.
IN TONIGHT'S DR. KING EDITION OF
"LIE WITNESS NEWS."
[ APPLAUSE ]
>> WE'RE TALKING TO PEOPLE TODAY
ABOUT THE BIG TWITTER WAR THAT'S
GOING ON BETWEEN DONALD TRUMP 
AND DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING.
WHY DO THOSE TWO NOT GET ALONG?
>> WELL, IT SEEMS LIKE DONALD 
TRUMP ISN'T REALLY INTO 
AFRICAN-AMERICANS WE'LL SAY.
AND OBVIOUSLY -- 
>> WAS IT WRONG OF MARTIN LUTHER
KING TO CALL PRESIDENT TRUMP A 
FISHEYE FOOL JIVE TURKEY?
>> NO, NOT IF IT'S TRUE.
>> WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT 
IT?
>> THAT IT'S TRUE.
>> CLEARLY THERE'S SOME HISTORY 
BETWEEN THOSE TWO FROM THEIR 
TIME SPENT TOGETHER ON 
"CELEBRITY APPRENTICE."
I'M SURE YOU REMEMBER -- 
>> YES.
>> -- WHEN BRETT MICHAELS BEAT 
DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. AT 
SELLING FROZEN YOGURT.
HOW MUCH OF THEIR CURRENT FIGHT 
DO YOU THINK STEMS FROM THAT?
>> THERE'S PROBABLY A LITTLE 
BIT.
I MEAN, THERE'S ALWAYS A 
HISTORY.
>> DO YOU REMEMBER THAT EPISODE?
>> I DO REMEMBER THAT EPISODE, 
YEAH.
>> BRETT MICHAELS COULD SELL 
FROZEN YOGURT.
SIMPLE AS THAT.
>> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
>> THIS MORNING I'M SURE YOU 
SAW, IT TRUMP CAME OUT AND SAID,
"I HAVE BETTER DREAMS THAN 
MARTIN LUTHER KING BECAUSE IN MY
DREAMS I CAN FLY."
>> YES.
>> WHAT DID YOU THINK WHEN YOU 
FIRST HEARD THAT?
DO YOU EVER FLY IN YOUR DREAMS?
>> NO.
BUT IF I COULD IT WOULD BE 
SWEET, THOUGH.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> WAS IT WRONG OF MARTIN LUTHER
KING TO SKIP THE PRESIDENT'S 
INAUGURATION LAST YEAR?
>> I DON'T THINK THAT WRONG WAS 
THE RIGHT WORD.
BUT I THINK THAT MARTIN LUTHER 
KING HAS THE RIGHT TO NOT GO.
>> LET ME ASK YOU LIKE THIS.
IS THERE ANY EXCUSE HE COULD 
HAVE FOR NOT GOING TO THE 
INAUGURATION?
>> I'D SAY YES.
BECAUSE EVERYBODY HAS A RIGHT TO
NOT GO TO SOMETHING THAT THEY 
DON'T FEEL LIKE THEY WANT TO GO 
TO.
>> MAYBE HE HAD PLANS THAT DAY.
>> YEAH, HE COULD HAVE HAD 
SOMETHING ELSE TO GO TO.
MAYBE HE HAD A FAMILY EVENT.
>> MAYBE A FUNERAL. 
>> YEAH.
MAYBE A FUNERAL.
I THINK HE HAS THE RIGHT TO GO 
TO WHERE HE WANTS TO GO.
AND I'M SURE IF HE WANTED TO 
MAYBE HE JUST WATCHED IT ON TV.
>> LOOK RIGHT THERE AND TELL 
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND MARTIN 
LUTHER KING WHAT THEY HAVE TO 
DO.
>> I THINK YOU GUYS HAVE TO 
SETTLE YOUR DIFFERENCES AND 
MAKE -- BECOME FRIENDS.
>> HAPPY MLK DAY, MARTIN LUTHER 
KING.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimmy: YES.
WELL, THIS IS WHY WE HAVE BLAC
