Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead, but it really doesn't matter with me now, because I've been to the mountaintop. Like anybody, I would like anybody I would like to live a long life longevity has its place but I'm not

concerned about that now I just want to do God's will and he is allowed me to go up to the

mountain and I've looked over and I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you.

So I'm happy tonight I'm not worried about anything I'm not fearing any man.

My eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord.

Turnout for the Iowa caucuses could be an issue because it will be absolutely frigid tonight

With us, we have the president of the National Action Network and host of MS NBC's politics nation,

Reverend Al Sharpton, founder of the conservative website, the Bullwark.

Charlie Sykes is with us, the host of Wait Too Early, White House

On that day, the night before Martin Luther King was shot.
