South Korea blasts Donald Trump for putting huge tariffs on its white goods - Duration: 3:27.South Korea blasts Donald Trump for putting huge tariffs on its white goods
US trade policy, especially the use of punitive duties, has led to a growing list of reproaches from trading partners concerned by Trumps protectionist leanings.
The latest safeguard measures are in violation to WTO rules, South Koreas trade minister Kim Hyun-chong said in a meeting with industry officials.
Trumps tariffs have dealt a heavy blow to South Koreas Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics, who together sell between 2.5 million to 3 million washing machines annually to the United States, making around $1 billion in export earnings.
The United States has opted for measures that put political considerations ahead of international standards, South Koreas trade minister said. The government will actively respond to the spread of protectionist measures to defend national interests, he said.
China, the worlds biggest solar panel producer, also responded swiftly to the US move, branding it an overreaction that would harm the global trade environment for affected products.
The USs decision to adopt tougher tariffs this time is an abuse of trade remedy measures, and China expresses strong dissatisfaction regarding this, Wang Hejun, the head of the Trade Remedy and Investigation Bureau at the Chinese commerce ministry, said in a statement on its microblog.
The USs adoption of restrictive measures against imported solar panels and washers is not only detrimental to the healthy development of the industries in the US, but will also worsen the global trade environment of relevant products, Wang said.
China will work with other WTO members to resolutely defend its legitimate interests in response to the erroneous U.S. decision. India has also recently re-opened a US dispute, alleging Washington has failed to comply with a ruling on solar power.
South Korea has already demanded compensation because the United States had failed to meet a Dec.
26 deadline to comply with a ruling against duties of up to 82 percent it had earlier imposed on appliances made by Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics and Daewoo Electronics.

Trump WH Just Told The Democrats Any Budget Deal with DACA Attac - Duration: 4:29.Trump WH Just Told The Democrats Any Budget Deal with DACA Attached
Is Dead on Arrival
Congressional Democrats need to go back to the drawing board if they want to the Trump
administration to budge on the Deferred Actions for Childhood Arrivals program, according
to recently surfaced information regarding the recent government shutdown provided by
the White House Sunday.
A White House aide told Breitbart News that Democrats proposed a federal budget measure,
however, attached was a clause regarding DACA.
The move didn�t impress the Trump administration, as it doesn�t want the DACA budget attached
to government funding.
�We will not negotiate over the status of people here unlawfully while Democrats shut
down the government of the millions who are here lawfully,� the White House aide said
Saturday.
During a media briefing, Legislative Affairs Director Marc Short and White House Budget
Director Mick Mulvaney confirmed this information.
�(W)e�re not going to be held hostage and let our troops be held hostage over this,�
Short said.
�When they reopen the government, we will continue the discussions.�
As noted by Breitbart News, Short accused congressional Democrats of causing the government
shutdown in an attempt to impress leftist activists partially due to the success that
President Donald Trump has had during his first year in office.
�They look at the accomplishments of the last year and all this administration has
accomplished, and their reaction is, �Because we can�t beat them, what we�re going to
do is we�re going to shut down the government,�� he added.
Mulvaney assured those at the briefing that the Trump administration would do everything
in its power to minimize the impact left by the shutdown, an effort not taken by the Obama
administration during the 2013 government shutdown that lasted 16 days, and cost the
U.S. an estimated $1.5 billion per day.
Employees from national parks, trade negotiations, cybersecurity agencies and the Environmental
Protection Agency are continuing to work during the shutdown, while President Donald Trump
canceled his trip to Florida and is keeping his trip to Davos, Switzerland, �on a day-by-day
basis,� according to The Blaze.
Mulvaney then took a shot at a Senate Democrats, stating that they are handling the budget
situation like �a two-year-old.�
�It is like a two-year-old temper tantrum to say, �I will take my toys and go home
because I am upset about something else,�� Mulvaney said.
�It has nothing to do with this bill, and the Democrats are conducting a two-year-old
temper tantrum in front of the American people.�
Mulvaney�s comments came just one day after he embarrassed CNN White House correspondent
Jim Acosta who asked him why the shutdown was dubbed the �Schumer Shutdown� when
Republicans control the Senate.
�Come on, you know the answer to that as well as anybody,� Mulvaney said in response
to Acosta�s question, adding that he has to �laugh� when others try to bring up
this topic.
�You know as well as anybody that it takes 60 votes in the Senate to pass an appropriations
bill, right, you know that?� Mulvaney asked.
�I know that,� Acosta replied.
�Okay, so when you only have 51 votes in the Senate, then you have to have Democrat
support in order to fund the government,� Mulvaney said.
�So that�s the answer to your question.�
This is purely an attempt by the Senate Democrats, led by Mr. Schumer, that�s why we call it
the �Schumer shutdown,� in order to try and get a shutdown that they think this president
gets blamed for,� he added.

Newt Gingrich on Trump's First Year 'We Are Incredibly Fortunate - Duration: 7:01.Newt Gingrich on Trump�s First Year: �We Are Incredibly Fortunate to Have Him�
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich thinks the first year of the Trump administration
has been a smashing success, with President Donald Trump even rivaling an iconic conservative
president � Ronald Reagan � as an �effective, focused leader.�
In a Fox News op-ed publish Saturday, the first anniversary of Trump�s inauguration,
Gingrich noted that despite the harsh �opposition� Trump faces from liberal activists and the
mainstream media, he has still been able to follow through on numerous campaign promises.
In fact, of the nine U.S. presidents Gingrich has known � starting with Richard Nixon
� only Trump and Reagan have been so effective in their first year.
Americans, Gingrich said, are �incredibly fortunate� that Trump prevailed in the 2016
presidential election.
�It is fair to say President Trump has already achieved so much that he rivals Reagan as
an effective, focused leader,� Gingrich wrote.
�We are incredibly fortunate to have him in the White House as our nation�s 45th
president.�
As evidence of this claim, Gingrich juxtaposed the �resistance� effort against Trump
to the president�s accomplishments.
The mainstream media and the left have �consistently misrepresented and maligned� him, Gingrich
said, leading to a �distorted, minimized view of what has been accomplished by this
remarkably energetic and controversial commander-in-chief.
Pointing out how unexpected Trump�s electoral victory was, Gingrich discussed the response
by liberal protesters � seen in the form of the rallies that took place the day after
his inauguration.
These protesters �promised �resistance� to the so-called �imposter,� who they
simply could not accept as president of the United States,� according to Gingrich.
The Fox News contributor then referenced the now-infamous threat made on the National Mall
by liberal entertainer Madonna.
�I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House,� the singer said at
the time.
According to Professor Allen Guelzo, a Civil War expert at Gettysburg College, the last
president to face such a hostile attitude from the opposition was Abraham Lincoln, who
was despised by southern slave owners.
One year into Trump�s presidency, Gingrich wrote that things have not gotten much better.
For instance, Rear Admiral Dr. Ronny Jackson � the president�s personal physician � recently
spoke to reporters at a White House news briefing to reveal the results of Trump�s physical.
Despite the fact that Jackson, who was appointed to his current role by former President Barack
Obama, gave Trump a clean bill of mental and physical health, reporters continued to ask
�antagonistic� and even �stupid� questions, according to Gingrich.
Their goal, he said, was to prove that Trump is unfit for office, despite Jackson�s claims
to the contrary.
�This Trump Derangement Syndrome that the media unfortunately suffer from has become
a major barrier to accurate coverage of the Trump presidency,� Gingrich wrote.
But in the face of this bias, Trump has gotten results.
During his campaign, then-candidate Trump promised to appoint conservative justices
to the federal bench.
As Gingrich noted, not only did the president nominate Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court,
but he has also successfully seated more appellate judges than any first-year president in history.
Moreover, Trump has rolled back many regulations implemented under Obama, becoming the �all-time
champion of rolling back red tape,� Gingrich said.
�The current estimate is that the Trump administration is repealing 22 regulations
for every new one it has created,� he added.
�This is a major contribution to economic growth and a big plus in implementing campaign
promises.�
On the foreign policy front, Gingrich wrote that Trump has followed through on his pledge
to �enable the military to do its job� in regard to the Islamic State group.
As a result, the terror organization has �lost virtually all its territory at minimum risk.�
Though Trump has not yet figured out how to deal with the threats posed by Iran and North
Korea, �neither (nation) has imposed its will up to now,� Gingrich said.
The former House speaker also referenced Trump�s decision to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel
from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem � another campaign promise he has followed through on.
Gingrich believes Trump�s actions have helped the U.S. economy grow.
For example, the passage of historic tax reform has led to a response from the American business
community that is even �more positive and more visible than anyone could have hoped.�
As The Western Journal reported, since the tax bill was signed into law, more than 164
companies have already announced they will be providing bonuses for their workers and/or
cutting prices due to the tax cuts.
Trump also promised to negotiate fairer trade deals for the U.S., and as observed by Gingrich,
�Saudi Arabia alone signed as much as $400 billion in contracts with American companies
during the president�s visit to Riyadh.�
Thanks to the president�s economic leadership, Gingrich wrote that the ��new normal��
of less than 2 percent annual economic growth is rapidly being replaced by estimates in
the range of 3.5 to 4 percent.�
Moreover, as Trump has highlighted on Twitter, unemployment figures among African-Americans
are among the best ever recorded.
Gingrich concluded by saying that Trump still has much to do.
He has yet to repeal Obamacare, introduce a plan to rebuild America�s infrastructure
or �develop conservative solutions for poverty.� In addition, Gingrich wrote that the president
has allowed �symbolic language and arguments about race to drive people apart.�
Still, though, Trump has much to hang his hat on.
�(O)n balance, it is fair to say President Trump has already achieved so much that he
rivals Reagan as an effective, focused leader,� Gingrich wrote.

Trump's voter fraud commission requested records for all Texans|tick tock news| - Duration: 4:20.Recently disbanded Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity made request last year
while applying to obtain nearly 50 million voter records from state
Donald Trump�s controversial voter fraud commission asked for files on every Texan
with a Hispanic surname, newly released documents show.
The Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity made the request last year while
applying to obtain nearly 50 million voter records from the state with the second-largest
Hispanic population in the US.
On the data request form, policy adviser Ron Williams ticked a box asking for �Hispanic
surname flag notation� to be included in the files.
Officials said the data was never supplied because a lawsuit filed by voting rights campaigners
blocked the state from sending any information to the commission.
The commission, established after Mr Trump claimed �millions� of people voted illegally
in the presidential election, was dissolved earlier this month amid mounting legal challenges
and resistance from several states.
Documents obtained by Missouri Democrat Senator Claire McCaskill show the commission had paid
for voter records from some states that refused to provide them for free. Among the files
was an invoice for $3,437.30 to be paid to obtain data on 49.6 million registered voters
in Texas, including the details of those with Hispanic surnames.
Kris Kobach, the Republican vice-chairman of the voting commission, told the Washington
Post that the request was �a complete surprise to me�.
�At no time did the commission request any state to flag surnames by ethnicity or race,�
he said.
Told about the Texas invoice, he added: �Mr Williams did not ask any member of the commission
whether he should check that box or not, so it certainly wasn�t a committee decision�.
Mr Kobach said the data �does not, did not advance the commission�s inquiry in any
way, and this is the first I�ve heard [that] the Texas files included that.�
He added: �I don�t know what sort of data analysis you would do even remotely relevant
to it, but also having just one state [would be] useless. It just doesn�t make any sense.�
Mr Trump�s commission was denounced by civil rights group when it was set up in May, and
was feared by some to be an attempt to suppress voting among ethnic minorities.
Maine Secretary of State Matt Dunlap, a former member and vocal critic of the commission,
said the request for Hispanic data raised �grave questions about exactly what the
commission hoped to find and what �problems� it planned on solving�.
�[It] gives room for no small amount of alarm in the very possibility that an American
citizen could be suspected of voter misconduct based on their ethnicity,� he told CNN.
The watchdog group American Oversight has filed a Freedom of Information request for
all files related to the application for Hispanic voter data in Texas.
Mr Dunlap filed one of several lawsuits that had hobbled Mr Trump�s commission before
his decision to scrap it.
Announcing the disbandment on 3 January, the White House said: �Despite substantial evidence
of voter fraud, many states have refused to provide the Presidential Advisory Commission
on Election Integrity with basic information relevant to its inquiry.
�Rather than engage in endless legal battles at taxpayer expense, today President Donald
J Trump signed an executive order to dissolve the Commission, and he has asked the Department
of Homeland Security to review its initial findings and determine next courses of action.�
Mr Trump launched the commission after claiming, without any evidence, that he only lost the
popular vote in the election because �millions� of people voted illegally for his Democratic
rival Hillary Clinton.

Tucker Carlson Tonight 1/23/18 |Tucker Carlson Breaking News Trump | January 23, 2018 - Duration: 33:36.well good evening and welcome to Tucker Carlson tonight the Russia investigation
if you can remember that far back was created to expose collusion between
American politicians and operatives from foreign governments and since so far the
investigation has simply exposed itself as corrupt and mismanaged newly released
text messages from FBI agent Peter struck suggest high-level FBI operatives
were not on the level about the investigation from the very beginning
fox chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge joins us now with
details catherine well thank you Tucker the text messages are a window into the
FBI's highly charged internal politics under then director James Comey and
suggests at least one senior investigator was skeptical the Russia
probe would uncover wrongdoing two days after special counsel Robert
Muller took over the probe in May now demoted FBI agent Peter struck and now
reassigned FBI lawyer Lisa Paige discussed the merits of joining Muller's
team struck tells Paige you and I both know the odds are nothing if I thought
it was likely I be there no question I hesitate in part because of my gut sense
and concerned there's no big there there in another more cryptic text struck
rights I personally have a sense of unfinished business Unleashed it with my
ethat stands for mid-year exam the FBI's code name for the Clinton email case and
now I need to fix it and finish it another Republican who read the text
said the FBI officials talk about a secret society within days of President
Trump's victory there was a society of at least two people to include Peter
struck and Lisa page that had a desire to keep Donald Trump from becoming
president and then an expressed intent to work against him after he was elected
president the FBI blames a technical problem for a five-month gap in the
struck page text and would not comment to Fox News and whether the bureau has
taken physical custody of their phones for a forensic review that could recover
those texts Tucker Kathryn Harris thanks for always being
on this show digenova is a former US attorney in DC and he
joins us tonight Joe thanks for coming on
my pleasure so on a special report a little over an hour
Ron Johnson that had a senator who's head of the Homeland Security Committee
suggested that the secret society referenced in these texts may have been
an actual thing and it may have met off-site away from the FBI secretly we
don't know more than that what does this suggest to you it suggests as we've said
from the beginning that there was a brazen plot to illegally exonerate
Hillary Clinton and if she didn't win the election to then frame Donald Trump
with a falsely created crime everything that we have seen from these texts and
from all the facts developing shows that the FBI and senior DOJ officials
conspired to violate the law and to deny Donald Trump his civil rights will be
the motive for that the motive would be that they didn't like Donald Trump they
didn't think he was fit to be President and they were going to do everything
within their power to exonerate Hillary Clinton and if she lost to frame Donald
Trump with a false crime because they didn't think he should be President what
do you make of the claim that five months of text messages between Strock
and Lisa page from someone have disappeared as Lois Lerner's emails to
this Hillary Clinton as well as an old United States attorney who has watched
obstruction of justice is over the years that explanation from the bureau is
ludicrous those texts were either purposely destroyed period they were
purposely destroyed what moreover they exist somewhere I can assure you the NSA
has them other companies have them Verizon has them AT&T and if the bureau
can't figure out how to get them they're in worse shape than I thought they were
so you don't buy it at all no no absolutely not they're those texts exist
and if they don't exist they were destroyed so you suggest this is
obstruction of justice how do we proceed if the country's chief law enforcement
agency is itself guilty of that well the Attorney General needs to appoint a
special counsel and if he doesn't want to do that he needs to make sure that
the criminal division of the Justice Department and panels a grand jury
immediately and start starts putting in that grand jury under oath Comey struck
age baker mccabe everybody is an senior Justice Department official Sally Yates
Bruce or and others john carlin the head of the National Security Division
all of these people need to be in front of a federal grand jury we have long
since passed the time when we need to have just congressional investigations
for this that make no mistake about it a group of FBI and DOJ people were
trying to frame Donald Trump of a falsely created crime is there any
possibility the Justice Department has already impaneled that investigation
well I certainly hope so because we're long past the time when that should have
been done I I hope they have if they haven't I can't imagine that they're not
about to do so shortly why is it so hard for the FBI to respond to legitimate and
lawful requests for information from the Congress which provides oversight it
shouldn't be I don't understand it I I must say Christopher Rey's performance
has been extremely unimpressive with regard to how to lead an agency at a
time of crisis how to respond publicly how to respond to Congress how to carry
out your duties it has been an abysmal performance by director Ray strucken
page apparently still working at the FBI headquarters here in Washington does
that strike he was odd strikes me is very odd
I cannot conceive of circumstances under which agents in these conditions with
the kind of text messages that they exchanged knowing what we know now about
the criminal activity involving the compromising of National Security Agency
intercepts of 702 data involving involving private American citizens I
can't imagine how they can still be on the premises would they be cleared to
see classified information I certainly cannot imagine how they would still be
clear to see close they have access to former colleagues of course over there
caught their present colleagues in the building yes members of the secret
society no doubt continue to still talk to one another what could be I mean are
there civil service Robin how could that be at this point I'm afraid only
Christopher ray knows why they are being allowed to stay in that building and
last question since you have been here for a long time and worked in this world
for a long time are we right to have real questions about the integrity of
our justice system watching this regrettably we are at a point now where
the FBI has lost almost all of its credibility
regrettably its integrity as a role of the result of the conduct of James Comey
who remains America's most dirty cop terrifying judges gentlemen thank you
very much for that thank you Richard good scene advised Hillary
Clinton during both of her presidential campaigns he joins us on the set now
thanks Richard thanks for coming out so the way typically unfolds between you
and me as I say can you believe this happened and you say Hillary Clinton
nothing wrong right wing crazies making up stories again so let's try something
new we're gonna do what we call the revulsion test I'm gonna read you a
serious statements which are true and you tell me if they bother you how's
that here we go does it bother you the Justice Department decided not to charge
Hillary Clinton in the email case before completing the investigation into her or
interviewing her personally does that bother you
what doesn't bother me is the fact that every good lawyer
every good prosecutor every good judge before the decision is handed down
pretty much kind of decides what the facts of the case and the law would be
and basically because they have a deadline they're not going to write it
the kind of the morning of right so they want to write a scholarly document
that's well received so of course they know what the evidence is going to be
they knew what Hillary was going to say this was no surprising this was the
suggestion that somehow or other it's that what she was going to tell them was
going to be different when they had all the evidence in well this is so striking
I mean so they knew as you said they knew what the evidence was going to be
before they gathered it all why have an investigation at all why interview
anybody because we know what we know so what are we just charge people we
believe her guilty and exonerate those witnesses they had access to tens of
thousands of emails right and they had testimony from plenty of people and as
is the case you end up having kind of the big fish last right and you pretty
much know by that point what that person is going to say because you have all the
documentary evidence to support it so it's not the case they know what she was
gonna say I mean unless you're clairvoyant I mean this is a living
person you ask specific questions you don't know what the person's gonna say I
interview people for a living I don't know what they're gonna support right no
I'm saying is they had the documentary evidence she had it she prepared herself
for it look kind of say one thing Donald Trump said he wants the Hillary Clinton
test right so when he's questioned he wants to have it whatever he said I
the Hillary test should be 11 and a half hours under cameras under the heat just
like she had from Benghazi that's what he does I'm not arguing that Hillary
should go to jail I'm marking about the integrity I'm concerned about the
integrity of our justice system and if we're deciding that people are innocent
or guilty before completing the investigation into them or even
interviewing yeah I have concerns don't you look no suggestion that the FBI was
somehow in her hip pocket is so twisted that most people would say no Comey
broke the rules until I feel come easy defend him I'm just talking with the
process here so okay you're not bothered by that here's the second question you
bothered by this this come from comes from an FBI agent who was investigating
Donald Trump and I'm quoting I want to believe he can't Trump can't get elected
but I can't take that risk does it bother you the Peter struck the FBI
agent official who wrote that was investigating Trump at the time you know
he said awfully bad things about Bernie says look does it bother me that
political views again he had said equally unkind things about it's not
about his political views which he's entitled to and like most federal
employees he's liberal I get it I live here he's involved at the highest level
of the investigation robert muller who's a lifelong republican is the highest
level of investigation Peter struck was in every interview with somebody else
from the FBI keep it near me you're making you're making my point he's not
running it I didn't say he was right but at the level below the guy running it
which is Muller you have Peter struck and he is saying I'm quoting I want to
believe he can't get elected but I can't take that risk we don't know what that
means here's what we do know if that was written by someone investigating Hillary
Clinton I would join you in denouncing that as terrifying I guarantee you if
the facts were the Russians offered help the Clinton campaign said love it the
Russians proceeded to offer help and that Hillary Clinton used that a hundred
times on the campaign trail by now we would have impeachment proceedings no
questioning I agree I want to believe he can't get
elected but I can't take that risk this isn't a person a person in a position to
influence the outcome with the full force of the federal government behind
him what's the outcome of the trump presidency well no I guess he is of
course he is one of the officials running at this point he is gonna rise
or fall on the facts okay that that that robert muller so it doesn't it doesn't
bother you that the guy said i can't take the risk that trumps gonna get
elected says the guy investigating trump on behalf of the FBI doesn't bother this
guy sent 50 thousand text messages in five months ten thousand a month
how was he even getting work done every day so this is my third question so
we've been told by the federal government that they've lost five months
of text messages between lisa page and Peter struck do you believe that does it
bother you that they could have locked quote law I'm not sure how a how you
lose a text message my impression was they endure forever
if you try and cheat the IRS you'll find out they're there they lost them somehow
we're supposed to nod and kind of bovine acceptance oh sure you did to set bother
not II know I look I hope they find them
Tucker there's all these addled conspiracy theories as a distraction
from what it is that we're finding out with each passing day each passing plea
of guilt that's what this is about I think we get a multiple conversation
simultaneously and as I've said from day one when they find the tax from Vladimir
Putin to Donald Trump saying I pledge to get you elected at the same time you
would hate to think that a by prior to this investigation
is the corruption of our justice system and I'm beginning to think based on a
lot of data points whose accuracy you have not contested that we have a real
problem with the way we investigate political crimes when both of Hillary
and of Donald Trump in the run-up to the election when Rudy Giuliani was talking
about FBI agents in Brooklyn these were not people who were friendly to Hillary
Clinton he was getting inside information that was information helpful
to Donald Trump so I agree there's a problem oh it's not a problem
that cuts in from one out of three bothers you but you're you're a very
tolerant man Richard Goodstein thank you for joining us
illegal immigrants blockaded Disneyland to demand citizen
and ship why aren't they being deported immediately we've got two tails next
well a small mob of daca beneficiaries showed up outside Disneyland in Anaheim
California and blocked an entrance they chanted slogans and prevented families
from entering until law enforcement finally removed them
can you tell me why you guys chose Disneyland this is where dreams come
true right this is gazing on is where your dreams come true and we want our
dreams to come true so at least one group of illegal aliens isn't hiding in
the shadows and said they're screaming at tourists at an amusement park imagine
what it takes to act this way you show up in a country that's far better than
the one you left that's why you came here
wouldn't you be grateful these people are not they're angry then they're
entitled they literally have no right to be in America but they're full of
menacing demands and not just at Disneyland we've seen a bunch of
demonstrations like this all over the country in the last year people
demanding immediate citizenship in the free stuff that goes with it
some of them waving foreign flags the question is would any other country on
earth put up with this even sensitive beta mail Canada would probably draw the
line at this try sneaking over their border illegally and blocking access to
Niagara Falls they deport you they probably apologize as they deported
you but they would deport you it's worth remembering that a lot of our immigrants
are not at all like these people you see on the screen they are grateful to be
here they work hard they mind their own business they add a lot to this country
let's find more people like that people you just saw on the tape we should track
every one of them down and boot them out of this country tonight and for good
they're exactly the kind of people we don't want here
of course those protestors won't be deported no one ever is the current
Democratic Party believes enforcing borders is a human rights violation for
two days House Democrats have been savaging Senate Minority Leader Chuck
Schumer for allowing the government to reopen without amnesty for people here
illegally you said Senate Senate Democrats are
getting their butts kicked on the shutdown debate is that true I'm not
sure the exact words but the sentiment that we did a poor job in messaging is
correct I'm disillusioned I think they're caving you know Democrats are
pretty good at articulating values but a little weak on defending them Cathy
Sheena is the mayor of Albany New York the capital that state it's also a
sanctuary city and she joins this team Miss Marron they see you good to see you
so I just I can't was just asking about the Disneyland video that we just showed
people here illegal blocking entry to Americans in the
amusement park because they're demanding citizenship and free stuff what what
country would put up with that other than ours well listen this is a country
that values free speech and the right to protest and these are young people who
feel that they were given a promise and that daca was a way for them these are
young people who were brought over here as children not by their choice as a way
for them to have a pathway to citizenship and this is a great country
and that we allow people the freedom to foreigners what by the way why would you
want someone in your country who's not grateful to be here who's demanding of
American citizens the right to vote and get benefits don't you want people who
are grateful to be here I want to add you know every immigrant that I've ever
met is grateful to be here that doesn't mean that they're not going to stand up
for their rights and you know I joined thousands of people across this country
in protests that happened on Saturday from people who were born and raised in
this country and who've been here for generations that is one of the hallmarks
of our Great Society or not Americans but they have they have a right to a
voice just because you're not from here doesn't mean the Constitution doesn't
apply to you if you're here well well well if you're if you're if you broke
our law to get here you don't have the rights of American citizen have where do
those rights come from this so you know when when you are here you have
constitutionally protected rights and I think that when we look to polarize this
conversation by pointing these people who are here brought here by their
parents without their without their choice and demonizing them we really
treat conversations versus them
they block the entrance to Disneyland okay I didn't do that they did that do
they bury any responsibility for it and there are Americans who used their right
to free speech to block entrances to shut down roads and Shapero test things
in this country you say whether you will dig here are you weren't born you will
have that right it's a matter of citizenship citizenship is meaningful to
most Americans they think it your different if you're a citizen they want
to be on a path to citizenship these are young people who are working hard and we
have work these are people who in the mana be on a bad day we're blocking a
Disneyland so there's not me they were working hard so a new poll by hi new
Harvard poll shows that four out of five Americans eighty one percent of
Americans want less legal immigration a lot less where were their interests
where are their interests in the modern Democratic Party four to five Americans
of all political parties want less legal immigration are you aware of that well
and I think that that's really a stunning number and it demonstrates that
we need to do a better job of communicating how important immigration
is to our cities into our country and you know you look at a city like Albany
New York we have an aging population a lot of the growth that's happening in
our city is happening because of immigration the number one complaint I
get from employers is that they can't find people to work and so we've got a
real workforce development challenge in the city of Albany and in the Capital
Region and immigration is helping to fuel that workforce I wonder though I
mean so for example I was just looking at stats provided by the Albany School
District and I think you've said before that your city is about 40 percent
foreign-born no no it's about 11 percent 11 we have about 40 languages forty
lines my mistake that's pretty high number
so in 2017 of eighth graders in Albany schools 0% qualified 0% according to
your stats qualified in math well that seems to me like a crisis much larger
than anything you're describing the challenge the challenge is in our school
district existed before we had the immigration that what I'm just saying I
wonder why I've never heard you as outraged about that as you are about I
don't know enforcing federal immigration law that seems like a crate would you
agree that's a crisis zero percent that it's greater as well that that's
absolutely right and that is why you know that's an another whole
conversation we can we can have about the work that we are doing to partner
with our school district into ensure that we're turning that around
and by bringing together our institutions of higher education our
business community you know healthcare so that we and we are addressing those
issues you think that bringing in more students who don't have English as a
first language helps her hurts that I think that when we when you look at what
we are doing with our new language learners that we are make having
interventions that are helping them to so it's a problem this need to solve you
just concede it's a problem you're trying to make the problem better but it
is a problem when you import people who don't speak English as a first language
why would you add that burden to schools where zero percent of eighth graders are
proficient in math zero percent well first of all the numbers a little
misleading because of how the testing is done that's your number you if you pass
the region exam you didn't have to take the tests that you're talking about but
in any event the when you look at the challenges that exist in any school
district in any urban school district it's incumbent upon the school district
and the the stakeholders in that community to ensure that we're doing
what we can so that these children are successful incredible success it doesn't
seen as I'm sure you're seeing some success my only it's really simple I'm
not arguing against all immigrants I'm not arguing against your schools I'm
just saying there's a crisis in your schools obviously does importing more
immigrants make it better and you've conceded no it doesn't it's a problem
well just so I don't I don't see it better or worse I see it as a an asset
to the city to see that we have the opportunity to continue to grow to
continue to have economic numbers in bringing in more people from third world
countries makes Albany a better city is good for your schools it's good for your
economy what's the right number how many people do you think need to come from
foreign countries to Albany for you to get really ready so you know this is
where the federal government needs to step up and decide what immigration
policy is going to be that happens at the federal level it's the mayor though
you're making Lisa they make your city more prosperous I will add I would
advocate to ensure that we have enough people on h-1b visas we
our the we have a one of the largest semiconductor manufacturing facilities
in the Capital Region GES R&D center is there I work for a medical device
manufacturer we used h-1b visas to bring in we're not actually talking about h-1b
visas was a totally different category about poor people like the daca
recipients who are not h-1b people there are people with lower than average
educational attainment and my simple question was if more of poor people
makes your city richer what's the good number of poor people to bring look I'm
not talking about statistics and numbers I'm talking about the people who are
there and I'm talking about ensuring that we continue to be a welcoming
community for everyone okay well that's a different that's a different goal but
I thought you were saying it made the city richer and I just AM skeptical
that's it well I think it's helping us to
definitely helping us to grow and to fill a workforce need that exists Thank
You meryt it's nice to see you I appreciate your doing that Russia Fi sir
fysop Muller the FBI it's been a week of very confusing revelations in Washington
Brit Hume joins us next week for elite consensus here in Washington Democrats
shut down the government only to belatedly realize that most Americans
are not on their side they don't think illegal immigrants are worth closing the
government for meanwhile Robert motors investigation muddles ahead more and
more evidence suggests the FBI is too ideologically compromised possibly too
incompetent to reach trustworthy conclusions are we reaching the right
conclusions from these news stories to check Brit Hume to add some clarity of
this chaotic picture Britain thanks for coming on thank you trigger so what I
find so striking their drug ads and try to try to add some clarity I know that
you will that's implied baked in the cake but I was kind of shocked by this
Schumer story this week because I think Sheila's smart and I think he pays close
attention to poll numbers as politicians ought to I think and yet they went way
out on a limb shut the government down over an issue that most Americans don't
consider a top priority how did they do that well I think Tucker the my guess is
that Schumer probably did not think this was a good idea yeah I probably resisted
it but there's the strength of the left branch of his caucus
that it reminded me in the end very much of what happened in 2013 with Ted Cruz
in that rump group of House Republicans who were in sufficient numbers that they
forced John Boehner who was clearly reluctant he was then Speaker course to
let them go forward the strategy to shut the government down to try to lever
President Obama into undoing a big piece of Obamacare well it failed utterly the
measures of the House pass went nowhere in the Senate the government shut down
the public did not like it in the history of the public's liking
government shutdowns is pretty thin and in the end they all had to back down
well this is the was sort of a mirror image of that I don't think the leader
liked it but he you know was a good soldier participated in it and in the
end they got there you know they got their butts handed to them and had to
back down because it did not go over well and the members in their caucus who
were up for reelection this year could sense that and a handful of them voted
no on the whole idea on the first go-round back last week and by the end
of the weekend I think it was clear to them at least that there's that they
were losing and it was hurting that could hurt them back home and so they
came out and caved in and Schumer in them and the filibustering Democrats got
practically nothing it's just remarkable then Republicans seem a little out of
touch with public sentiment on this to the new Harvard poll ask people do you
think we need less or more immigration overwhelmingly less the number of
Americans who want more people to come from foreign countries and that's the
consensus view in DC on both parties we need more 12% a lot more well I wonder
why they're not aware of that none of them seem aware of that well it depends
on how you which piece of the immigration issue you're looking at it
the idea that you want more immigrants than we're now getting I think is you
know that's not that's not popular as you suggest but when you take it you
break out to say the daka piece of it right you know and of course these are
people who did you hear that voice behind me that was a lexer I messaged
Chuck to wake Alexa up with amazoness conversation yeah
and I asked her all the time I say Alexa are you spying on me listen she didn't
answer I could understand that anyway anyway you look at Daka this is a subset
of the immigrants in this country illegally who came here as we've all
heard said through no fault of their own when they were young when they were
minors and there's a case to be made that these people are worthy of some
sympathy have never known any other place but America is home and to send
them back to someplace they've never been seems unfair and I think most
Americans that that issue pulls pretty well and it seems that yes I part of it
since bipartisan support for that and then there's the question of what you do
about the illegals are already here and their presence here is not popular as
you've suggested but then the question becomes is it practical to try to round
them all up and send them home and that's right that's kind of a bridge too
far though so it you know once you get past the idea that that you know the
general idea that people don't want more immigration and they certainly don't
want more illegal immigration it gets complicated and of course the president
I think is standing on fairly solid ground from his point of view and
wanting the series of border security measures to go with any any measure to
relieve the daca people of their of their situation here of their other
potential to be be deported so that's sort of where we are in this and you
know we got another negotiation coming up soon and we'll see how much the
Democrats are willing to give in order to get the the daca repeal undone I for
one I'm looking forward to it Brit Hume thank you for the clarity in that I
appreciate it and good luck with Alexa you bet thank you an abortion themed
comedy on television is that's hilarious a supporter of that idea will be here
next
an Ohio abortion clinic is encouraging people to get abortions on the grounds
that it's a good parenting decision the clinic preterm has started a campaign
called my abortion my life they set up 16 billboards around Cleveland they
extol the death of unborn children phrases like abortion is necessary
abortion is your right and in one case abortion is a parenting decision
meanwhile UC San Francisco purportedly still at college a sociologist is
calling on TV shows to include more abortion related comedy in order to
normalize the procedure dr. Robin Bremen is a psychologist and she agrees the
billboards and the comedy idea she joins us to a doctor private thanks coming on
thank you thanks for having me so abortion comedy what what would you
say is the funny part about abortion I don't think they're using it as a funny
thing I think they're using it just to bring out the the to make it more of a
real thing or more of a huh that's why I came here okay okay can you hear me
doctor okay one sec I don't think they're using it as a cut comedy I think
they're trying to do stigmatize it with women oh do you say what why do you
think if that sounds probably right what why do you think there's a stigma around
abortion well I think in the world there's there's so much stigma around it
I mean it's a very hard decision to make for a woman it's a no-win situation if
you what why the stigma why is it considered bad do you think why is it
considered a stigma yeah well because it's anything a life for some people huh
okay so if you think it but if you don't think it's ending a life then there
shouldn't be any stigma at all right well it's not it's not one way or the
other I think it's a traumatic thing that women can go through I think it's
in a way it's absolutely entering a life and another way it's you're putting in a
no-win situation because sometimes people have no other choice okay so but
then why would you I mean all of that I mean you're probably the main stream of
views on that then why the impulse to make light of it
or you de stigmatize it in comedy or put up
billboards encouraging people to have abortions isn't that making light of it
isn't that minimizing it when I honestly don't think it's making light of it I
think it's just bringing out the issue of abortion that it's an option what is
there anything about abortion that makes you you personally uncomfortable
absolutely I mean it's a very hard thing for women to go through I think it's an
absolute no-win situation for what is it what does that mean no-win situation the
words it means that a woman that has an unwanted pregnancy has to make a
decision and the decision is a no-win situation she has to end the life of an
unborn baby I mean I think you're right so why do you hear people say you know
we should celebrate it we should convince others there's nothing wrong
with it it's not a big deal it's a positive thing oh it's not it's a huge
deal and it's not a positive thing and I don't agree with that I think it's a
traumatic thing that sometimes there's no other option and that's why I do can
keep saying it's a no-win situation because it really is but I never hear I
mean I guess I disagree with your last point about there's no other option but
I respect you for saying that it's a that it is a big deal but I keep hearing
Planned Parenthood leaders for example say you should wear a t-shirt announcing
it and that this it's a form of liberation and not acknowledging that
it's a that there's a downside well that's that's their opinion I can't
speak for other people but personally I see so much trauma around it in my
office and it's a hard decision but on the other hand it's a hard decision to
keep a baby that a mother doesn't or can't take care of psychologically or
physically ya know it's a tough it's a tough situation and I'm and I think it's
a first step to acknowledge that and so I'm glad that you I'm glad that you are
thank you dr. Ryan for joining us tonight thank you for having me
thank you the NFL had an ugly year but doesn't seem to have learned much from
it we'll tell you about their latest
national anthem related blunder and then making of what maybe a scandal sounds
like potentially one around Bob Costas and his apparent firing details on that

they're called the Branch Davidian rush to the massage at Waco Texas the police

During Pennsylvania Factory Tour, Owner Turns To Trump & Whispers 5 Unforgettable Words - Duration: 23:59.During Pennsylvania Factory Tour, Owner Turns To Trump & Whispers 5 Unforgettable Words
On Thursday, President Donald Trump traveled to the Pittsburgh area with a dual agenda.
He delivered a speech on his administration's economic agenda to the H&K Equipment Company
while he was in Allegheny County, and he lent his support to Republican candidate Rick Saccone,
who is campaigning for a vacant House seat.
During his tour of H&K's factory, the owner of the company turned to Trump and whispered
five words which the president will never forget.

18, 2018.

amount of government regulations which were burdensome on American business owners, President
Trump visited the H&K Equipment Company in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, on Thursday to witness
the direct results of these recent moves in a real work environment.
Accompanied by his daughter and advisor Ivanka Trump, Secretary of the Treasury Steve Mnuchin,
and other members of his cabinet, Trump toured the H&K factory with company owners Peter
Cicero and George Koch before addressing employees.
As they walked the grounds, Cicero leaned over and whispered something to Trump that
was inaudible.
However, Trump beamed with delight and pointed to the cameras before revealing what Cicero
had told him.
Apparently, "business has never been better" for the owners of H&K Equipment.
"He just said their business has never been better than it has this year," said Trump.
According to the owners, they have been swamped with orders over the past year and can barely
keep up with the booming business which has resulted from Trump's economy.
With the economy having made such a drastic turnaround for the better during the first
year of Donald Trump's presidency, an interesting dichotomy has arisen between two separate
narratives the mainstream media and the Democrats have been pushing ever since Trump emerged
as a formidable candidate.
At first, we were told by those on the left that "the economy would never recover"
if we were to elect Donald Trump.
Fast forward several months, and their story has changed quite a bit.
Now that Trump is the president and the economy is booming, the same naysayers claim he is
not responsible for these tremendous strides forward.
So, which one is it?
Either Trump is responsible for the soaring stock market, the jobs which are returning
to America, the falling unemployment numbers, and an avalanche of other economic successes,
meaning that the fear-mongering which took place prior to the election was nothing more
than a media-manufactured strategy to undermine his candidacy, or Trump is not responsible
for the economy, in which case, he could have never destroyed it in the first place, as
they said he would do.
It cannot be both ways.
Of course, the left was wrong on both counts.
They were ludicrous to allege that a man who has made billions as a successful businessman
and stood at the helm of multiple massively lucrative companies would destroy the American
economy.
Indeed, if there was ever a man who could right the ship after the dreadful position
we were in following Barack Obama's two terms in office, it was Donald J. Trump.
Likewise, the left is wrong when they fail to give credit where credit is due.
Seemingly within hours of Trump's election, companies were investing in America once again,
bringing jobs back that had originally left due to the burden of excessive government
regulation and better financial prospects overseas.
Then, the stock market began breaking records on a seemingly daily basis.
Now, Americans have more of their own hard-earned money in their pockets thanks to the president's
recent tax cuts.
This economy is Donald Trump's doing.
There's no other way to slice it.
This is an excellent example of the media manipulating the news to fit whichever narrative
they deem appropriate at any given time.
It also lends tremendous credibility to Trump's stance that the media cannot be trusted to
report the truth.
Anyone who is looking for clarity on this hotly-debated topic need look no further than
coverage of the economy over the past twelve months.
The left and their cronies in the press knew that Donald Trump wouldn't ruin our economy,
just as they now know that he is responsible for fixing it.
They're just too stubborn and butthurt over Hillary Clinton's embarrassing loss to report
these things.
